====Pokémon Stadium 2====
The final Pokémon Stadium game, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], featured four [[Stadium Cup]]s in all versions. The Poké and Prime Cups returned from the original; however, the Prime Cup only had one division. The [[Little Cup]] and the [[Challenge Cup]] were added, with the latter featuring four divisions. On the other hand, the moves {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} were banned in the Little Cup, making it the first rule variant to prohibit certain attacks. In the game, players could customize and save various sets of rules. Still, all cups follow the species, item, self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses; only the Prime Cup follows the event clause. With a total limit of 155, only the Poké Cup has a total level limit.


In Japan, a fourth tournament called the '''Nintendo Cup 2000''' was held using the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games. Similar to '''Nintendo Cup '97''', the tournament took place using Pokémon from levels 50-55, with a team limit of 155. The following rules were also established:
{| width="40%" align="center" style="background: #c7000b; border: 3px solid #6d0308; {{roundy|5px}}"
*Each Pokémon must hold different items.
*{{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail when used by the final Pokémon.

====Pokémon Crystal====
{{game|Crystal}} introduced the first {{jo|Battle Tower}}, a special battling facility. The Battle Tower's rules were similar to [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]'s, and this was later followed by future Battle Towers:
*Players must select three different Pokémon to battle.
*All Pokémon must be holding different items.
*The player must defeat seven opponents in a row. The challenge can only be interrupted by saving between battles; otherwise, the Trainer will be disqualified.


The second tournament, the '''Mobile Cup 2001''', was a little-known tournament with 1000 players that used the Japan-only [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Each battle had a 10-minute time limit; if a decision was not made by that time, Nintendo would decide the outcome. Unlike previous tournaments, there were no limits on the number of Pokémon that could be asleep or frozen or moves that the last Pokémon could use.
A change from the Pokémon Stadium games, a draw would end the player's streak, even if the opponent's Pokémon caused the draw with a move such as Explosion. Also, items could not be used from the [[Bag]].

In the Japanese version, players could access a ranking system by connecting with the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Each player would be ranked based on their streak, and the computers would use the teams of various Trainers. A similar feature would be used in the [[Generation IV]] {{si|Battle Tower}}.

===In the games===
Unlike future Battle Towers, powerful legendary and event Pokémon could be used in the level 70 and higher divisions.
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
The final Pokémon Stadium game, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], featured four [[Stadium Cup]]s in all versions. The Poké and Prime Cups returned from the original; however, the Prime Cup only had one division. The [[Little Cup]] and the [[Challenge Cup]] were added, with the latter featuring four divisions.

The moves {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} were banned in the Little Cup, making it the first rule variant to prohibit certain attacks.  
In Japan, a fourth tournament for a Pokémon game, Nintendo Cup 2000, was held using {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Similar to Nintendo Cup '97, the tournament took place using Pokémon from levels 50-55, with a total limit of 155.


The game also allowed players to customize and save various rules.
