While {{TRT}} had conducted "illegal" Double Battles since [[EP003|the third episode]], the first official Double Battle occurred in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. In order to win the {{badge|Jade Star}}, Ash had to defeat [[Luana]]'s {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Alakazam}} in a Double Battle. Though [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}} were initially unwilling to cooperate, they eventually overcame their differences in order to win the battle. | While {{TRT}} had conducted "illegal" Double Battles since [[EP003|the third episode]], the first official Double Battle occurred in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''.

Though [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}} were initially unwilling to cooperate, they eventually overcame their differences in order to win the battle. A notable difference about this Double Battle compared to the ones introduced [[Generation III|later]] is that winning the match requires only defeating one of the opposing Trainer's two Pokémon. | ||
After the release of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Double Battles were seen in the anime more often. The first took place in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''. [[Forrester Franklin]] introduced the concept to Ash, and they had a battle that Ash won. As in the games, Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Tate and Liza]] was a Double Battle. Additionally, in order to qualify for the finals of the [[Ever Grande Conference]], competitors must win three Double Battles in the preliminaries. | After the release of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Double Battles were seen in the anime more often.
