In [[Generation V]], the Battle Institute is located in [[Nimbasa City]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], the Battle Institute can only be accessed after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]; if the player tries to access it before that point, an {{tc|Ace Trainer}} will exit the institute and block the entrance, telling the player that they must become the {{pkmn|Champion}} before they can enter. However, the Battle Institute does not require the player to save the game before participating. | In [[Generation V]], the Battle Institute is located in [[Nimbasa City]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Battle Institute is located on the west side of the eastern mall of [[Mauville City]], behind the white storefront. While the player can enter the building in these games as soon as their respective areas become accessible, the receptionist inside will refuse to administer the Battle Test until the player has defeated the Champion. | ||

By speaking to the receptionist, the player can opt to fight five consecutive rounds—called a '''Battle Test'''—of either Single Battles (requiring three Pokémon) or [[Double Battle]]s (requiring four Pokémon). The Trainers met during these battles are the same ones found in the [[Battle Subway]] and [[Battle Maison]]. | By speaking to the receptionist, the player can opt to fight five consecutive rounds—called a '''Battle Test'''—of either Single Battles (requiring three Pokémon) or [[Double Battle]]s (requiring four Pokémon). The Trainers met during these battles are the same ones found in the [[Battle Subway]] and [[Battle Maison]]. Standard battle facility rules still apply during the Battle Test, so all Pokémon temporarily become level 50, bag items are not permitted to be used, and [[special Pokémon]], duplicate Pokémon, and duplicate items cannot be included on a team. Because all Pokémon are temporarily set to level 50 without requiring the game to be saved (even in [[Generation VI]], where the Battle Maison allows lower-leveled Pokémon to retain their original level), the Battle Institute is commonly used for the purpose of examining the stats of Pokémon that are newly hatched from [[Eggs]], to narrow down their possible range of [[individual values]] with more precision than the original level would allow. | ||
Each battle grows in difficulty, starting with pre-evolved Pokémon and potentially fighting Trainers who use [[Legendary Pokémon]] by the end. Once the Battle Test begins, there is no quitting early; after each battle (regardless of whether it's won or lost) the player's team is healed, and the next battle immediately starts, until all five battles are complete. The 'Run' command acts as a way of forfeiting the current battle only. | Each battle grows in difficulty, starting with pre-evolved Pokémon and potentially fighting Trainers who use [[Legendary Pokémon]] by the end.

* 80 points | * 80 points for each opposing Pokémon that fainted | ||
* 15 points each time the player's Pokémon uses one of its moves that it hasn't used in the current battle | ** This bonus does not require that the player's Pokémon was directly responsible for causing the opponent to faint with an attack, and will be scored even if the opponent fainted as a result of weather damage, self-inflicted recoil damage, or using a move such as {{m|Explosion}}. | ||
* -80 points for each of the player's own Pokémon that fainted | |||

** The penalty only applies as a result of type chart immunities, other innate type-based immunities (such as trying to use {{m|Toxic}} against a {{type|Poison}}), and effects that cause a Pokémon to be un-[[grounded]] against {{type|Ground}} moves. Ability-based immunities do not result in this penalty, with the sole exception of {{a|Levitate}}. | |||
** If a move is blocked by {{m|Protect}}, misses a target due to accuracy or evasion, or simply doesn't accomplish anything for any other reason, the penalty does not apply, nor does any other bonus or penalty that would have applied based on type matchups. | |||

The total score for an individual battle can be less than zero, but if the sum of all five battles' scores would be negative, it is displayed as 0 points instead. | |||
