Battle Arena

The Battle Arena (Japanese: バトルアリーナ Battle Arena) is a facility located with the Hoenn in .
==Challenges==
A match in the Battle Arena pits two Pokémon against one another for three rounds. If both Pokémon last all three rounds, they are rated on how they battled in three aspects, and the Pokémon with the higher score wins, and the losing Pokémon leaves battle. If they somehow tie, both Pokémon leave battle. A knockout results in an automatic win for the Pokémon that is still standing. Trainers are not allowed to switch out their Pokémon, and they must be sent out in the order they were entered.

Pokémon are scored on their mind, skill, and body. This is much like the Fallarbor Town Battle Tent rules. The Pokémon with the better rating in each category scores two points, while a tie will award one point to each Pokémon.
* Mind judges Pokémon on their offensive style. One point is awarded if a move that deals damage is chosen for use (except , , and , which do not award points, and , which deducts one point), and one point is deducted if , , or is chosen. All other moves do not award points. Only the move selection matters; even if the Pokémon does not actually use the move (due to an effect such as ), it will still score in this category. The Pokémon with the higher number of points wins the two points in the overall judgment.
* Skill judges Pokémon on accuracy. One point is awarded if any move is used successfully, while two points are deducted if the move misses, fails, or is prevented from executing due to an effect such as paralysis. If the move was caused to fail by , , or flinching from , however, no points are deducted. Hitting a move super effectively rewards two points rather than one, but dealing not very effective damage instead deducts one point. The Pokémon with the higher number of points wins the two points in the overall judgment.
* Body judges the amount of HP remaining at the end of the third round compared to their amount at the start of the first. The Pokémon with the better ratio wins the two points in the overall judgment.

The facility is run by Greta, and it also houses her multiple martial arts students, one of whom referees the battles there.
Before the match begins, the challenger must use a special wheel machine to randomly decide whether the match will be one-on-one, two-on-two, or three-on-three, and both s send out all of their Pokémon, which are only recalled once they've been defeated or the battle ends.
