|episode=The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!}}

Inside they have many features. There are computers that show {{pkmn|Trainer}}s information about other Trainers and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, these are able to be used to access [[Xtransceiver]]s and to ask the Trainer for a {{pkmn|battle}}. The main part is a battleground where Trainers come to battle and learn tips from the battle master, Don George. At the back of the facility, there is a storage room with security cameras and alarms.

{{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} arrived in the Battle Club in [[Accumula Town]] in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]''. They witness a battle between one Trainer's {{p|Servine}} and another's {{p|Dewott}}. Ash battles the Trainer's Dewott with his {{AP|Pikachu}} but the battle is called off after {{TRT}} sets off the alarms while trying to steal food. With a mysterious Pokémon around, Ash and Iris help look for it, and decide to lure it with food. Ash discovers it is a {{p|Tepig}} and nurses it back to health. Later Team Rocket appears and tries to steal Pikachu, but with Tepig's help, Ash foils their plans. Ash then captures {{AP|Tepig}}.

Another Battle Club located in [[Luxuria Town]] appeared in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' where Ash had a battle with [[Trip]]. Trip wanted to have a [[Full Battle]], but Ash only had 5 Pokémon at the time, so Trip agreed to a five-on-five match. Ash was able to knock out Trip's {{p|Tranquill}} and {{TP|Trip|Servine}}, but ultimately lost the battle.

There's also a Battle Club in [[Nacrene City]] which appeared in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'' and ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]''. It was shown to have Gymnasium and a swimming pool where Trainers can {{pkmn|training|train}} their Pokémon on various equipment such as running machines with obstacles, dumbbells and a swimming pool with waves. Ash went there to train his {{AP|Oshawott}} and Tepig for their rematch against [[Lenora]], and they worked hard to learn {{m|Aqua Jet}} and {{m|Flame Charge}}, respectively.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'' the Battle Club in [[Astilbe Town]] appeared. When Ash, Iris and {{an|Cilan}} came to visit this Battle Club, they witnessed a battle between [[Shamus]] and [[Kylan]], which was easily won by Shamus. Later it was revealed that Shamus was the [[original Trainer]] of Ash's Tepig. Shamus wanted to prove that Tepig was useless and challenged Ash to a battle, which took place in the Battle Club. Ash used his Tepig and {{AP|Snivy}}, while Shamus used {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}}. Tepig evolved into {{p|Pignite}} in the battle and defeated both of Shamus's Pokémon.
