Pokémon world locations

The Battle Chateau (Japanese: バトルシャトー Battle Chateau) is a two-floor facility on Route 7 in Kalos where the player can have battles.

The type of Trainers that appear will depend on the noble rank that the player has achieved through their battles in the Battle Chateau. Trainers can be battled again after an hour starting from the time the player first entered the Battle Chateau. Sometimes while staying in the Battle Chateau, a new trainer will enter the building, ready to be battled with.

It shares its background music theme with the Battle Maison. It is a remix of バトルタワー (ジョウト) Battle Tower (Johto) from Pokémon Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Ranks

The Trainer ranks at the Battle Chateau are inspired by the British nobility, although Kalos is based on France.

Progression

The player starts as a Baron or Baroness (depending on gender). As the player amasses wins against Trainers; their rank will be upgraded when they attempt to exit the Battle Chateau up to the rank of Duke/Duchess. To obtain the final rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess, the player must have defeated all Battle Chateau Trainers, excluding Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and Diantha.

1. Baron/Baroness
2. Viscount/Viscountess
3. Earl/Countess
4. Marquis/Marchioness
5. Duke/Duchess
6. Grand Duke/Grand Duchess

Each rank allows the player to face Trainers of an equal or lesser title. For example, if the player is a Viscount, potential Trainers to battle are Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons and Baronesses. At the higher ranks, the player may be able to face Gym Leaders (starting from Marquis/Marchioness), members of the Elite Four, and Diantha (starting from Duke/Duchess), as long as the player has already battled them in the main storyline.

Writs

As players rise in rank, there will be a greater access to more writs which can be issued by talking to the lady by the front door. Each writ has its own unique effect. All writs expire at midnight on the day that they are used. Several of the writs can be used at the same time. The silver, gold and black writs all stack together, for example.

Writ	Effect	Cost	Rank first available
Writ of Invitation	Invites Trainers to arrive more frequently.	$50,000	Baron/Baroness
Silver Writ of Invitation	Invites Trainers to arrive much more frequently.	$100,000	Marquis/Marchioness
Gold Writ of Invitation	Increases battle winnings by 50%.	$100,000	Earl/Countess
Writ of Challenge	Increases the levels of Pokémon by 5	$50,000	Viscount/Viscountess
Blue Writ of Challenge	Decreases the levels of Pokémon by 10	$10,000	Duke/Duchess

Trivia

• Baroness Francine's Flabébé has an altered cry; it actually uses the cry of its evolution, Floette.
• Without any Writs active, the prize money each Trainer gives out is based on the Trainer class they appear to be and is not affected by their Battle Chateau rank.
