Hoenn Battle Frontier

The Battle Frontier is a special post- Pokémon League area in Pokémon Emerald that features several battle facilities where powerful Trainers can battle each other. The Battle Frontier replaces the Battle Tower in its location south of Route 130, and likewise is only accessible by taking the S.S. Tidal from Lilycove City or Slateport City. Unlike the plain Battle Tower in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Battle Frontier is composed of seven distinct battle facilities, each lead by a Frontier Brain who may be challenged after certain winning streaks have been made through their respective facility. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Battle Resort exists where the Battle Frontier was in Pokémon Emerald. However, there are some other references to the Battle Frontier.
