Reprising from Pokemon Emerald, the Battle Frontier has 5 facilities. The attraction is located in the Fight Area which you can travel to after unlocking the National Dex and beating the Pokemon League.

Mew
Lugia
Ho-oh
Celebi

Rayquaza
Deoxys
Jirachi
Dialga
Palkia

Shaymin (both Land and Sky Forme)
Phione
Manaphy
Darkrai
Arceus


--The Facilities--

The 5 facilities are the Battle Factory, Tower, Castle, Arcade, and Hall. Each have their own set of rules and requirements to play. After a certain number of battles you will fight the Frontier Brain of the facility you are participating in.


-The Battle Factory-

Like in Emerald, in the Battle Factory you do not use your own roster. You will be given a selection of rental Pokemon to choose from. 
Once you've beaten a trainer in a match you can chose to swap one Pokemon with their team for one of yours, allowing you to strengthen your chances of winning depending on the Pokemon you choose.
Battles are done in sets of 7, as you continue your streak the opposing Pokemon will become better and stronger. Knowing your type-match ups and the weaknesses of your team is important.

-Frontier Brain: Thorton-

First Battle:
Once you reach a streak of 21 in the Battle Factory you will face the Battle Factory Brain, Thorton. Just like you and any other trainer you've faced, his Pokemon are random. Beat him to obtain the Silver Medal and continue on.

Second Battle:
Once you reach a streak of 49 wins, you will face Thorton again with a different set of rental Pokemon. Beat him to obtain the Colored Medal.



-The Battle Tower-

The Battle Tower runs just like it's D&P version. The Brain also being Palmer still. You can battle at Level 50 or at the highest level of your Pokemon in your party.
In the Battle Tower, there are 4 different selections; Single or Double battles, and Wireless Mixed and Wi-Fi battles. Single is a 3 vs. 3 while Double allows 4 vs. 4. 
On the Wi-Fi segment, you can download other player's teams to battle against or upload your own.
Only Single and Double allow you to face Plamer, the Battle Tower Brain. COmplete your sets of 7 again.

-Frontier Brain: Palmer-

First Battle:
Once reaching a streak of 21, you will face Palmer for the first time. 
Unlike Thorton, Palmer as a definite roster of a Dragonite, Milotic, and Rhyperior. The levels matching those of your own Pokemon. Beat him to obtain the Silver Medal and continue on.

Second Battle:
Once you reach a streak 0f 49 wins you will face Palmer again, butthis time with a completely different roster. Heatran, Regigigas, and Cresselia are replacing his previous 3. Beat Palmer again to obtain the Colored Medal.



-Battle Hall-

Battle Hall has a different set-up than most of the facilities. Here you fight in sets of 10 and there are three modes. Single Mode in which you fight with only one Pokemon, Double where you use two, and Wireless Mixed.
Once you have chosen you're Pok�mon, you go into the Stage and you'll see a selection screen for all the Pok�mon you can fight. The type of the Pok�mon and their difficulty rank out of 10 is shown.
Because you only know the type of the Pok�mon, you will sometimes be given a curve.
For example, if you choose say a flying type to use your electric type against, you could fight against a Gligar who is immune to electric attacks. 
You also cannot switch your Pok�mon mid-campaign, if you do, it resets the campaign back to Rank 1. 
The levels are done in relation to your Pok�mon's level and are calculated by Rank accordingly so that you start off with an advantage that slowly goes away.

-Frontier Brain: Argenta-

First Battle:
Once reaching a streak of 50 wins, Argenta will fight you. She will have a random Pokemon of any type. Beat her to obtain your Battle Hall Silver Medal.

Second Battle:
To face Argenta again for a chance to win your Colored Medal, you will have to beat Rank 10 on ever type. Again she will have a random Pokemon in her party.



-Battle Castle-

Battle Castle goes back to the usual Single 3 on 3, Double 4 on 4, and Wireless Mixed selections.
Once you have made your team selectios you will be greeted by a Butler, whenever you win a battle in the Battle Castle you will be given Castle Points. These points can be used only within this facility to earn perks like healing your HP, PP, or get a Battle Item as you can't heal your Pokemon with your own items. 
The better the item, the higher the CP point cost. Sets are in matches of 7.

Sale:
You can buy certain Berries ranging from 2-5 CP. Your selection increases as your Rank progresses.
You can increase your Rank for 100 CP
Items are available for 5-20 CP
You can view parts of your opponents Pokemon such as Nature, Species, Held Item, HP, and Ability for 1-2 CP
You can decrease the level of your opponents pokemon by 5 for 15 CP or increase it by 5 for 1 CP.
You can view opponent attacks for 5 CP
Rank your opponent up for 50 CP

The higher your opponents rank, the higher the CP payout at the end.

-Frontier Brain: Valet Darach-

First Battle:
Once reaching streak 21, you will fight Frontier Brain Valet Darach. His team consists of Staraptor, Empeleon, and Houndoom. It's not the strongest but you'll have to rely on CP a lot. Beat him to obtain the Silver Medal.

*After finishing streak battle #22 you can now skip battles in return for 50 CP. This will help you get the Colored Medal much faster.

Second Battle:
Once reaching a streak of 49 you will fight Darach again. This time his team consist of Gallade, Empeleon, and Entei. Once you defeat him you will earn the Colored Medal.



-Battle Arcade-

Here your Pokemon are temporarily reduced to level 50 during participation. Single Mode and Double Mode are still 3 on 3 and 4 on 4. 
Wireless Mixed is also under the selection. Once you picked your team you will go on stage and be introduced to your opponent.
Before you enter the battle, you enter a radnom Draw in which you press a button on your Touch Screen to stop the counter from moving. It will land on a certain battle effect that will either help you or possibly harm you.
