In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Trainer's Eyes}} or {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}} has similar functions to the Pokégear, keeping track of Trainers who eventually want to re-battle the player. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the Trainer's Eye function returns, and Trainers are ready for a rematch more frequently than in [[Generation III]]; in these games, the Trainers' teams improve as the player progresses through the game, and are at their strongest after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, while outdoors, the player can use the [[Vs. Seeker]] to check which nearby Trainers are ready for a rematch.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Trainers in the [[Battle Chateau]] can be battled each time that Trainer has entered the Battle Chateau. Only those whose rank is the same as or lower than the player's will appear. The player can purchase {{DL|Battle Chateau|writs}} to have an effect on three different factors (party levels, [[prize money]], and Trainer arrival rate) for the remainder of that day, although issued writs can be swapped out if the new one has the same type of effect.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, there are certain areas that allow for multiple rematches, most notably in [[Pyrite Town]]'s Duel Square. Other locations such as [[Agate Village]] and [[The Under Subway]] allow for rematches only after getting past a certain point in the game.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], each Gym Leader will offer to rematch the player in a [[Double Battle]] via the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}}. Unlike regular Trainers, walking in the same area as a Gym Leader does not make them more likely to be ready for a rematch.

====Pokémon Platinum====

===Legendary and special encounter Pokémon===

In all games, being defeated by a Legendary Pokémon does not cause it to disappear. In all games in which [[roaming Pokémon]] exist, [[Escape|fleeing]] from them does not cause them to permanently disappear; the game simply behaves the same as if they were the ones to flee.

Prior to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, fleeing from stationary [[Legendary Pokémon]] causes the Pokémon to permanently disappear.

In Pokémon Platinum, if the player defeats or flees from a stationary Legendary Pokémon, it reappears after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] again. If the player defeats a [[roaming Pokémon]], it will reappear only after the player has re-triggered the event which caused it to start roaming; for example, the player must talk to [[Professor Oak]] to cause a [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird]] to resume roaming. If the player flees from or defeats [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} in the [[Distortion World]], it will reappear in [[Turnback Cave]] in its Altered Forme, where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary Legendary Pokémon.

This was extended to all stationary Pokémon ([[red Gyarados]], {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}) in HeartGold and SoulSilver. If {{p|Suicune}} is defeated or fled from, [[Eusine]] will comment on this fact, and it will instead reappear at the [[Burned Tower]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary Legendary Pokémon. If {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}} or {{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}} is defeated or fled from during the storyline, the [[Kimono Girl]]s will comment on this fact before leaving; however, the Pokémon still behave like any other stationary Pokémon.

In Pokémon X and Y, {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} must be caught; defeating, fleeing from or losing to it does not cause it to disappear, the battle yields no [[experience]], and the story cannot be progressed until it is caught. The 31st box in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] does not become available until after the player catches it, so it is not possible to avoid the capture even if the player's party and PC are both full.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, if the player defeats {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}} instead of catching them in the main story, they will reappear in the [[Cave of Origin]] after entering the Hall of Fame. During the [[Delta Episode]], {{p|Rayquaza}} must be caught; defeating, fleeing from or losing to it does not cause it to disappear, the battle yields no [[experience]], and the story cannot be progressed until it is caught. The 31st box in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] does not become available until after the player catches Rayquaza, so it is not possible to avoid the capture even if the player's party and PC are both full. If the player flees from or defeats {{p|Deoxys}} in during the Delta Episode, it will reappear at the Dragonhark altar atop the [[Sky Pillar]] after entering the Hall of Fame again, where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary Legendary Pokémon.
