The '''Fight Area''' is ''the'' location for any trainers seeking a challenge and the ultimate rewards for their labor. It's advisable to use a team that is focused on competitive battling because if you use the pokemon you've used throughout your adventure then you probably won't make it very far in the Battle Tower.


Once you step off the ferry from Snowpoint City, you will immediately run into your rival, who is headed toward the Fight Area's resident Battle Tower looking for a challenge. Renowned trainer, Buck, interrupts you telling you about a volcano located deep in the island. Afterwards, he heads off towards [[../Stark Mountain/]].

You can go back to [[../Snowpoint City/]] at any time, using the Sailor that brought you to the Battle Park. However, using HM02 Fly also works, so it is generally better to use it.
'''The Fight Area is the first area of the Battle Zone when you arrive from Snowpoint City. It is the location for any trainersseeking a challenge and gain awesome rewards for winning. It's advisable to use a team that is focused on [[Pokémon/Competitive battling|Competitive battling]] because if you use the pokemon that were used throughout your adventure then you probably won't make it very far in the Battle Tower as it requires EV and IV setups.'''

Like all rivals, his team depends on which Pokemon you started with. However, no matter which Pokemon you chose at the beginning of the game, he will always start with Staraptor, who will use Intimidate to lower your Pokemon's Attack power. Staraptor has Close Combat and Steel Wing to deal with Steel, Ice and Rock types, although he does not have anything to cover his weakness to Electric types. However he is quite fast and will most likely use U-Turn to hit and run if you use an Electric type, allowing the rival to switch to a Pokemon better suited to deal with your Pokemon. Staraptor also knows Aerial Ace.

Torterra has Leech Seed in addition to his Sitrus Berry to restore health and suck away your Pokemon's energy on each turn. He has Leaf Storm, which lowers his Special Attack but is a powerful move and will regain its power if Torterra activates Overgrow. Torterra also has Earthquake to deal with Fire types and Crunch is his final move.

Empoleon has a powerful Hydro Pump which will get a power boost if Torrent is activated. The rest of his moveset is less threatening since Empoleon is not particularly powerful when it comes to Physical Attacks. Nonetheless Drill Peck is super effective on Fighting types. Metal Claw is weak but has a chance of raising Empoleon's Attack. Shadow Claw is just there to fill a moveslot; a waste of a TM basically.

==Battle Park==
 
[[File:Pokemon DP Battle Park.png|right|200px|Battle Park]]
 
Battle Park is an area that connects the Fight Area to the Battle Tower. When you enter the gatehouse for the first time, the receptionist will give you a Point Card which holds your BP when winning in the Battle Tower.
 
In the southwest corner is a Razor Fang which will make Gligar evolve into Gliscor while holding it and gaining a level.
 
The building between the gatehouse and the Battle Tower is where you can exchange your BP for the following items:
 
===Exchange Counters===
Note that there are two entrances, but they both lead to the same place, just on different sides. They give you items that assist you in training pokémon and teaching them moves.

Before you enter the Battle Tower for the first time, a stranger will run into you and will say that since you are here that must mean he(Barry) isn't far behind. Barry then bumps into you and says that he's ready for the challenge of the Battle Tower to be able to get the treasure at Stark Mountain.


==The Battle Tower==
==The Battle Tower==
[[File:Pokemon DP Battle Tower Lobby.png|right|200px|Battle Tower Lobby]]
The Battle Tower is, oddly, not a place you can level up your Pokémon, but a place to see how strong your Pokémon really are, and to win great prizes. Now, there are three different ways to challenge the Battle Tower, and two additional ways to fight in those. The first is for solo challengers, the second is for Multiplayer, and the third is for Wi-Fi connection.

Now, the way the battles work is this: you choose three Pokémon (if you entered a Single Battle) or four Pokémon (if you entered a Double Battle). You will progress through a battle of seven trainers in a row. If you win a battle, you are automatically healed, and are Give three choices: Continue, Rest, or Retire.

After you beat all seven trainers in a row, you will then be escorted back to the lobby. Here you will receive 3 BP (This increases every time you win 2 consecutive rounds). You can spend this on the Exchange Counters to the right and left of the Battle Tower.
After you beat all seven trainers in a row, you will then be escorted back to the lobby. You will get 3 BP ea after the first and second set. At the end of the third set you will be able to battle Tower Tycoon Palmer and get 20 BP. After the fourth set you will earn 4 BP. After the fifth and sixth you will earn 5 BP ea and you will be able to battle Palmer again for 20 BP at the end of the seventh set. After the eighth or more sets you will get 9 BP but you wont face Palmer again. You can spend BP at the Exchange Counters in the building just below the Battle Tower.
 
====Tower Tycoon Palmer====


====Battle Tower Boss Palmer====
[[File:Pokemon DP Tower Tycoon Palmer.png|right|75px|Palmer]]
Palmer is a very interesting person, only appearing in the 21st and 49th battle only in the solo matches. Palmer has a Rypheor, Dragonite, and Milotic. After defeating him, you will get 20BP instead of the normal amount. Many people have found that fighting up to him, defeating him, and then losing purposely the next round yields the best results, of 26BP. The reason for losing is the next couple rounds are harder than the rest up to that point, making it very efficient to get 26 for only 21 battles that are moderately easy than 52 for 21 that are easy and 21 that are harder.
Palmer is a very interesting person, only appearing after winning 20 and 48 battles consecutively in solo matches. Palmer has a Rypheor, Dragonite, and Milotic during his first battle and a Regigigas, Heatran and Cresselia during his second battle. After defeating him, you will get 20BP instead of the normal amount. Many people have found that defeating him once and then losing purposely after the next battle to yield the best result of 26BP. The reason for losing is that the next couple of sets are harder than the rest up to that point, making it very efficient to get 26 for only 21 battles that are moderately easy as opposed to get 54 for 49 battles that are harder. Time is of the essence here.


Palmer is also your Rival's father.  
Interesting fact: Palmer is also Barry's father.  


The best counters are as follows. For Rypheor a good counter is Kingdra. Kingdra is good because it is fast, has high special attack and has the super effective move on both Rypheor and on Dragonite if it has ice beam or blizzard and surf or hydro pump. For Milotic a good counter is a fast, powerful electric type like Raikou, or Ampheros with a quick claw and thunder or thunderbolt. The last Pokémon should be a powerful one that doesn't have many weaknesses. A good Pokémon would be a Wobbofet since it can take a lot of damage and dish out almost two times the power.

===Double Battles===
===Double Battles===
Double battles are battles fought 2 vs 2, against one opponent. You choose four Pokémon to enter (except certain Legendaries which are banned, such as Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, etc.), and then battle it out with seven trainers consecutively. The same rules apply for double battles that they did for single battles, like the same species of Pokémon are banned, the same hold items are banned and more (look above for full details). Also, you get three {{abbr|BP|Battle Points}} for every round, or even consecutive trainers, that you defeat.

To begin a Multiplayer Battle, walk up to the lady at the left counter in the Battle Tower. Once you accept the challenge, you will have to pick two Pokémon to fight with your allies Pokémon. Once this is done, the lady will take you up to the waiting room. Here you will need to pick one of the trainers. Once this is done, the lady will then lead you to the battle room. You will then fight seven rounds of two trainers. The battles are exactly like the Double Battles in Single mode, except your ally controls his/her own Pokémon. After you win, you will be awarded BP normally. You may also battle with a friend if you both choose the "Over Wireless" option.
