Battle Frontier and Battle Tower

The Fight Area in Sinnoh is home to two 3v3 PvE challenges, the Battle Frontier and the Battle Tower. Both pay out Battle Tokens.

The Fight Area map in PBO with the Battle Frontier Entrance building — The Battle Frontier Entrance in the Fight Area leads to both the Frontier and the Tower.

	Battle Frontier	Battle Tower
What it is	A weekly ladder of 5 levels with changing team restrictions	An endless win streak against ever stronger opponents
What resets	Your level, Apprentice count, used species and restrictions, every Monday at 00:00 UTC	Only the token rewards, every day at 00:00 UTC. Your streak carries over.
Jump to	Battle Frontier (weekly)	Battle Tower

Getting there

Become Sinnoh Champion. The sailor only takes you once you are Champion.
Take the boat. In Canalave City, talk to the sailor at the harbour and choose the Fight Area (100 F).
Go inside. In the Fight Area, head into the Battle Frontier Entrance. The Battle Frontier Lobby and the Battle Tower Lobby are both inside.

**Canalave City**The sailor at the harbour takes you to the Fight Area.Wild Pokémon here

**Battle Frontier Entrance**Both lobbies are through here.

The Fight Area is also the way to Stark Mountain and the Heatran quest. Dawn’s champion battle is in the Fight Area Pokémon Center; see Bosses and high-level battles.

Rules for both

Bring up to 3 Pokémon. There is no level limit, and nothing is scaled: your Pokémon fight at their own level. They gain no experience; see trainer battles.
Clauses: one of each species, no one-hit KO moves, no evasion-raising moves, no Moody and no Baton Pass.
Revives cannot be used in battle.
Your party is healed after every win.

Battle Frontier (weekly)

Talk to the Battle Frontier Teleporter in the Battle Frontier Lobby to enter. The lobby also has a Nurse Joy, a PC and the Battle Tokens Shop.

**Battle Frontier Lobby**The Battle Frontier Teleporter stands in this lobby.

The Frontier has 5 levels. On each level:

Beat the Apprentice 20 times in a row. Losing to the Apprentice resets your count to 0. Each Apprentice battle uses 3 random Pokémon from that level’s pool.
Challenge the Boss. If you lose, you can try the Boss again without redoing the Apprentice battles.
Move up. Beating the Boss opens the next level.

Frontier level	Apprentice Pokémon level	Boss Pokémon level	Battle Tokens
1	70	75	20 + 10
2	80	85	20 + 20
3	90	95	20 + 30
4	95	100	20 + 40
5	100, legendaries included	100, legendaries and Megas	20 + 50

You get 20 tokens for the 20th Apprentice win on each level and 10 tokens per level number for its Boss, so a full Frontier pays 250 Battle Tokens a week.

Restrictions you must plan around

One use per species. Every Pokémon species in your party when you beat a Boss is locked out of the Frontier until the next reset, and so is that exact Pokémon if you trade it to someone else. Spread your best Pokémon across the 5 levels.
Weekly rules per level. Each level has its own banned type, a required type (at least one of your three must have it) and one banned Pokémon species, together with its event forms. They are rolled for you when your week starts. Check them in the Trainer Challenges dialog (top-right panel), on the Battle Frontier tab, before you build your teams.

Trainer Challenges window on the Battle Frontier tab: a Weekly Restrictions table with a banned type, a required type and two Pokémon icons for each of levels 1 to 5 — The Weekly Restrictions table on the Battle Frontier tab; this example screen shows two Pokémon per level, where the game bans one species and its event forms.

The Frontier resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC: your level, Apprentice count, used species and restrictions all start fresh.

Battle Tower

Go through the Battle Tower Lobby to reach the Battle Tower Master. Every win adds 1 to your streak; a single loss ends it. Your streak carries over from day to day; only the token rewards reset daily.

Your streak	Tower Master’s level
0–19	50
20–39	60
40–59	70
60–79	80
80–99	90
100 and up	100, plus 1 for every 10 wins above 100

The Tower Master also gets stronger Pokémon as your streak grows: from 100 wins on, his teams include legendaries.

Tower rewards

Every 10th win in a streak pays Battle Tokens equal to the streak divided by 10: 1 token at 10 wins, 2 at 20, and so on, up to 20 tokens per milestone. Each milestone pays only once per day, and the day resets at 00:00 UTC.

A 100-win streak in one day earns 55 tokens.
If you lose and start again the same day, you only earn tokens again once you pass your best milestone.

A leaderboard of the best streaks shows while you are in the Tower. A best streak of 120 is also the requirement for the champion battle against Jupiter at Lake Acuity, which opens once you are Jvaloh Champion.
