[[File:Battle Frontier anime.png|thumb|230px|The locations of the first six Kanto Battle Frontier facilities in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, this Battle Frontier, rather than being on one of [[Hoenn]]'s many small islands, is spread across the [[Kanto]] region, presumably so as to reflect on the then-recent releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as well as Emerald. Much like the [[Gym]]s do not have a requirement that {{Ash}} beats anyone besides the [[Gym Leader]], Ash is not required to compete in any matches besides those against the Frontier Brain.

* The Battle Pyramid appeared in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', and ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. It was the last facility Ash challenged. Unlike the other facilities, this facility is mobile, being able to fly in order to keep its location a secret to all those who haven't defeated the six other facilities. It was initially located near [[Pewter City]] and was later also seen in [[Fennel Valley]]. It also reappeared in [[Snowpoint City]] during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

The proper Hoenn Battle Frontier appeared in ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', where Ash and [[Goh]] traveled there to participate in the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]], a small tournament with a set of [[flute]]s as its prize. There they met [[Hodge]], a Trainer from [[Lavaridge Town]] who was also there to compete. Ash eventually emerged victorious and brought back the flutes to [[Cerise Laboratory]]. While on the island, Goh also {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Taillow}} and three {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Dustox|Wurmple}}.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, a [[Pokédex holder]] named {{adv|Emerald}} challenged the Battle Frontier during its seven-day opening ceremony. Eventually it was revealed that he had been sent to the Battle Frontier by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in order to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} [[Pokémon category|Wish Pokémon]] {{adv|Jirachi}}, which he had predicted to be awake at the site during the same seven days that the Battle Frontier opening ceremony would take place. It turned out that an armored villain named [[Guile Hideout]] was also planning to catch Jirachi for his own evil ambitions, even stealing all the [[rental Pokémon]] from the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}} to be used against anyone getting in his way.
