The '''Battle Frontier''' is an island added in Pokémon Emerald that specializes in variations of Pokémon battling. After defeating the Elite Four and obtaining the National Pokédex, you need to obtain the Frontier Pass in order to roam freely around the Battle Frontier.


After winning at each of the Battle Frontier locations a certain amount of times, the trainer can fight the location's Leader (collectively known as "The Frontier Brains") for a chance to win silver and gold Battle Frontier badges. When the trainer defeats all of the leaders twice, the trainer gets special Berries and an extra star added to the Trainer's Card.

=== Battle Dome ===
Moved to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Battle Dome]]
 
=== Battle Factory ===
[[Image:BattleFactory.png|Battle Factory|thumb]]
In the Battle Factory, the attendee takes the trainer to a room where the trainer chooses three out of six random rental pokémon on offer. When the trainer is ready to test out the his rental pokémon, the trainer can go into the battle room and battle. If the trainer wins, he can swap one of the his current rental pokémon for one of the Pokémon of the defeated trainer. Once the trainer has won 7 battles against trainers sporting random pokémon, the trainer will be escorted to the entrance room.
 
On the trainer's 21st and 42nd battle in a row without losing, the trainer will come face-to-face with Factory Head Noland. If the trainer beats him, the trainer will earn a Silver/Gold Knowledge Symbol. Like everyone else, Noland will have a team of random Pokémon.
 
Noland's name comes from knowledge, the thing the Battle Factory tests.
 
=== Battle Arena ===
[[Image:BattleArena.png|Battle Arena|thumb]]
In the Battle Arena, the trainer has a standard three-versus-three battle; however, if he doesn't knock out the opponent's Pokémon in three turns, he is judged on mind (use of offensive moves), skill (effectiveness of moves) and body (ratio of HP at the beginning and end of battle) to decide the outcome. A circle is worth two points, a triangle is worth one point, and a letter X is worth zero points. The Pokémon with less points faints immediately. In the event of a tie, both Pokémon faint. During the battle, the trainer cannot switch between pokémon.
 
After 27 and 56 consecutive wins in the Arena, the trainer can fight Arena Tycoon Greta. The first time the trainer defeats her, he is given the prize of the Silver Guts Symbol. Later on, the trainer get the Gold Guts Symbol.

=== Battle Palace ===
[[Image:BattlePalace.png|Battle Palace|thumb]]
In the Battle Palace, the trainer plays a standard, single three-versus-three battle. However, the trainer can't decide which attack that his Pokémon uses. Depending on their nature, they will like certain kinds of moves (offensive, defensive, or supporting). The attitude of the Pokémon may change if their health is low.
 
After 21 and 42 consecutive wins, the trainer can fight Palace Maven Spenser.
Respectively, Spenser will award the trainer the Silver Spirits Symbol or Gold Spirits Symbol, depending on how many times the trainer has seen him previously.

There is a house next to the Battle Tower. Inside, there is a trainer who wants to trade a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Skitty_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29 Skitty] for a [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Meowth_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29 Meowth]. However, the trade should probably only be done if the player doesn't have a [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen]] file, due to the fact Skitty is rare in the games it is obtainable in, but Meowth is common in the games it is obtainable in.

A level 40 Sudowoodo is located in the southeast section of the Battle Frontier; like in [[Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal]], if it is watered, it will attack.

Be sure to save right before watering Sudowoodo. If you mess up, you can turn the game off and try again. Also save after catching it. This is the only way to catch Sudowoodo in the third generation (unless you import from [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]]).
