Battle Tree

The Battle Tree (Japanese: バトルツリー Battle Tree) is a battle facility located on Poni Island in Alola. It is led by the s.
It can be accessed through Poni Gauntlet after becoming . It is the equivalent to the Battle Maison from Generation VI, the Battle Subway from Generation V, and the Battle Towers from other previous generations. It is led by and .
==Challenges==
At the Battle Tree, challengers compete to see how many Trainers they can defeat in a row. Losing one battle will reset the challenger's win streak to zero. Each time a challenger defeats a Trainer, Battle Points, or BP, will be awarded. The longer the win streak, the more BP will be received.
There are three formats a challenger can choose: Single Battle, Double Battle, or Multi Battle. The challenger needs three Pokémon for Single Battles, four for Double Battles, and for Multi Battles, two per Trainer. Lastly, challengers cannot use more than one of the same Pokémon or item. However, this does not restrict Multi Battle partners from using the same Pokémon or item across teams.
In Multi Battle with a friend, the highest streak is continued. The game with the lower streak will continue to receive the same rewards after each battle (BP, ribbons, stamps) and have its streak incremented with the number of battles won. Due to differences in eligibility requirements, Sun/Moon cannot participate in Multi Battles with Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.
There are two courses for each format: Normal Course and Super Course. A Normal Course challenge consists of twenty battles, the last of which will be against a , one of the leaders of the facility. Upon successfully completing a Normal Course, the Super Course for the respective format will be unlocked, in which the challenger may rebattle the same Battle Legend on the fiftieth battle. Unlike the Normal Course, the Super Course is indefinite and ends only when the challenger loses a battle.
All NPC Trainers in the Battle Tree use Pokémon from a list of 996 Pokémon and moveset combinations. Each of their Pokémon has a fixed Nature and spread for effort values. s are equal across all stats and based on the Trainer using it. The gender and Ability are randomly selected each battle. Each Trainer will use two to four Pokémon, depending on the format selected.

===Multi Battle partners===
In the Multi Battle and Super Multi Battle challenges, the player can choose to partner with a friend or with the AI. Unlike the Battle Maison from previous generations, there is only one default AI partner, Rada. To increase the number of AI partners available, the player must Scout opponents after defeating them in Single or Double Battles. Scouting a Trainer costs 10 BP, and this will add the Trainer to the list of potential AI partners. Battle Legends cannot be scouted, but the other special Trainers can be.
As a Multi Battle partner, the scouted Trainer uses the two Pokémon that were at the start of their party when they were scouted, retaining the same Abilities that they had in that battle. However, these Pokémon will become male unless their species cannot be male. If a Trainer who has already been scouted is scouted again, their new party overwrites their previously scouted party.
In only, the player can also recruit Lillie as a partner for Multi Battles by speaking to her at Professor Kukui's laboratory at after finishing Episode RR. She uses a -based support set.
