'''Battle Tents''' (Japanese: '''バトルテント''' ''Battle Tent'') are red-and-white tents replacing the [[Contest Hall]]s from [[Slateport City]], [[Verdanturf Town]], and [[Fallarbor Town]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

The tents provide a way to practice for the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, offering a look at most of the {{pkmn|battle}}s to be experienced there. The {{player}} gets a reward for winning three battles at a time, which varies depending on the tent. Battles conducted here do not award [[experience]] or [[prize money]], similar to other [[battle facility|battle facilities]]. Before the Battle Frontier is accessible, [[Scott]] appears inside each of the tents (although he will come out of the Slateport City tent before the player enters).

The first Battle Tent is located in [[Slateport City]] and is themed after the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. A sign outside the building reads:

{{sign|E|header}}
{{sign|E|BATTLE TENT SLATEPORT SITE}}
{{sign|E|"Find it! The ultimate POKéMON!"}}
{{sign|E|footer}}

In this tent, entrants select three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from a random list of six [[rental Pokémon]], all at [[level]] 30. They then face three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. After defeating each Trainer, the {{player}} may trade one of their Pokémon for one of the opponent's. When swapping a Pokémon, the player is not provided with any details on the opponent's Pokémon, having instead to rely on their experience battling the opponent's team.

List of rental Pokémon:
*{{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Lotad}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Whismur}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Barboach}}, {{p|Trapinch}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Electrike}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Baltoy}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Numel}}, {{p|Swablu}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Aron}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Wailmer}}
*{{p|Marill}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Nuzleaf}}, {{p|Lombre}}, {{p|Loudred}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Linoone}}, {{p|Mightyena}}, {{p|Swellow}}, {{p|Pelipper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Swalot}}
*{{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Spinda}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Solrock}}, {{p|Seviper}}

The rental Pokémon with highest stats are: Swalot, Breloom and Seviper. Magikarp has only three moves: Tackle, Flail and Splash.

The reward for winning three battles in a row here is a [[Full Heal]].

===Verdanturf Site===
[[File:Verdanturf Battle Tent E.png|right|thumb|200px|Verdanturf Site]]
The second Battle Tent is located in [[Verdanturf Town]] and is themed after the [[Battle Palace]] in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. A sign outside the building reads:

{{sign|E|header}}
{{sign|E|BATTLE TENT VERDANTURF SITE}}
{{sign|E|"Feast Your Eyes on Battles!"}}
{{sign|E|footer}}

In this tent, entrants select three Pokémon from their [[party]] to battle three Trainers, whose Pokémon will either be level 30 or the highest level on the player's team, whichever is higher. Unlike in the other tents, the player does not directly control their Pokémon. Rather, the Pokémon will use [[move]]s they know that are most suited to their [[Nature]]s. Depending on their Nature, some Pokémon will prefer not to attack, instead favoring [[status move]]s targeting itself or the opponent. When a Pokémon's [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]] becomes low, it may change its fighting style.

The reward for winning three battles in a row here is a [[Nest Ball]].

===Fallarbor Site===
[[File:Fallarbor Battle Tent E.png|thumb|200px|right|Fallarbor Site]]
The third Battle Tent is located in [[Fallarbor Town]] and is themed after the [[Battle Arena]] in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. A sign outside the building reads:

{{sign|E|header}}
{{sign|E|BATTLE TENT FALLARBOR SITE}}
{{sign|E|"May the Greatest Teams Gather!"}}
{{sign|E|footer}}

In this tent, entrants use a team of three of their own Pokémon against three Trainers, whose Pokémon will either be level 30 or the highest level on the player's team, whichever is higher. Each separate Pokémon face-off is timed for three turns. If, in three turns, neither Pokémon has been [[Fainting|knocked out]], the judge makes a decision depending on three factors: Mind (amount of offensive moves), Skill (accuracy of moves), and Body (remaining HP). Possible scores for each category are Circle (a win: 2 points), Triangle (a tie: 1 point), and X (a loss: 0 points). The Pokémon with the most points will win. The Skill category is not affected if a move misses as a result of a damage blocking attack such as {{m|Detect}} and {{m|Protect}}.

The reward for winning three battles in a row here is a [[Hyper Potion]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} revealed that the [[Contest Hall]]s in {{ci|Slateport}}, {{to|Verdanturf}}, and {{to|Fallarbor}} were badly damaged during the battle between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}, and were replaced with Battle Tents as a result. Despite this, they still maintain the same function of holding [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
