POKEMON PLATINUM BATTLE FRONTIER

The Battle Frontier in Pokemon Platinum takes the place of the Battle Tower in Diamond and Pearl. It is located in the Fight Area of the Battle Zone, which can only be accessed once you have beaten the Elite Four. On restarting the game, you can visit Snowpoint City to take a ferry to the Battle Zone.

There are five main stages for Pokemon battling. Each is led by a trainer known as a Frontier Brain who will challenge you once you successfully win a certain number of times. Beating them once will earn you a Silver Print, beating them twice will get you a Gold Print. Check your Vs Recorder to see how many Prints you have.

While the style of battling varies from place to place, a few common rules apply. Firstly, certain legendary Pokemon are banned (eg, Giratina, Dialga, Palkia). Secondly, regarding Pokemon levels, you can choose from:
- A Level 50 Mode where Pokemon higher than level 50 will be scaled down to level 50, and Pokemon under level 50 will remain at their current level.
- An Open Level mode where your opponent's Pokemon's levels will match the highest levelled Pokemon in your party. However, your opponent's Pokemon will not be below level 60.

By fighting around the Battle Frontier, you'll earn Battle Points (BP) that you can spend around the Frontier. You can use BP at the Exchange Service Corner, located in the center of the Frontier. You can view the amount of BP you have by choosing your Vs Recorder from the Key Items pocket.
