A Battle Royal

A Battle Royal (Japanese: バトルロイヤル Battle Royal) is a type of Pokémon battle in the Generation VII games, introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. A Battle Royal involves four Trainers all battling each other at the same time.

In a Battle Royal, each player brings up to three Pokémon, using one Pokémon at a time. At the end of a turn, if a player has no Pokémon left, the Battle Royal ends. All players are scored based on the number of Pokémon they knocked out, and the number of Pokémon they have remaining.
