Battle facility

A battle facility is a kind of location in the core series Pokémon games where the player can battle other Trainers without earning experience or prize money.

In several games, multiple battle facilities appear in a dedicated area known as a Battle Frontier.

Battle facilities often require saving before beginning a challenge in order to accurately track the player's streak length; if the player turns the game off during a challenge without using the "Rest" option, they are disqualified and their streak is automatically broken. Since Pokémon Emerald, the player can earn Battle Points at battle facilities, which they can exchange at stores
