A rematch is a second battle against a trainer, Gym Leader or another notable opponent. This feature first appeared in Gold and Silver via the PokéGear, and has been available to players in every game since then in some form or another. Emerald Version was the first game in the series to allow payers to have a rematch with Gym Leaders, and while Diamond and Pearl dropped that feature, it returned in Platinum Version (via the Battleground) and has also been featured in HeartGold and SoulSilver (via the Fighting Dojo).

In a rematch the opponent has different Pokémon, unless the player is re-battling a legendary Pokémon. The different Pokémon species they use to battle with in their rematch may include species only available after the National Pokédex is acquired.

In side games

In the Ranger Games the Drowzee Guy will allow the player to re-do a memorable capture. In the first game, this is the legendary beast battle. In the sequel, this is the Darkrai capture.

In the anime

In the anime, Ash always has to re-battle at least one Gym Leader as well as many other trainers. Notable trainers include Whitney and Pyramid King Brandon.

Trivia

  • Kanto is the only region where players cannot rematch Gym Leaders in the main games of that region. However, players can rematch the Kanto leaders in HeartGold and SoulSilver at the Fighting Dojo.
