Battle Tower (Galar): Difference between revisions

Challengers compete at the roof of the Battle Tower to win as many battles as they can to increase their ranking. There are two formats: Single Battle and Double Battle, each with separate rankings independent of each other. Since the Battle Tower is built over a power spot, challengers may [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon in all battles. The challenge is designed to emulate a Ranked Battle system in which victories help to increase a Trainer's rank, but losses may potentially decrease it. Unlike [[battle facility|battle facilities]] from previous generations, challengers do not start over after losing one battle. Instead, their ranking may fall after accumulating too many losses.  

To participate, the {{player}} may register a Battle Team with six Pokémon of different species, and no two Pokémon can have the same [[held item]]. All battles are held under Flat Rules - any Pokémon above Lv. 50 will be set to Lv. 50. There are no special Pokémon banned from the Battle Tower, meaning [[Legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Zacian}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] like {{p|Mew}} are also eligible to participate.

There are eleven ranks and five tiers for challengers to advance in for either Single or Double Battles. As the player advances in rank, the opponents battled will become progressively more difficult. Reaching certain ranks for the first time will upgrade the player's tier. Losing or forfeiting too many battles may result in the player dropping in rank, but not in tier.

The following lists the ranks that players can advance in and the tiers of each rank. The rewards listed are awarded the first time the player achieves that rank for each of the two formats.
