What Is The Battle Tower?

Like most previous Mainstream Pokemon Games, Pokemon Sword & Shield includes a Post Game Battle Facility that is known as the Battle Tower (formerly Rose Tower). Since losing his championship to your character, Leon has taken over Rose Tower and has transformed it, as mentioned, into the Battle Tower. Here, a trainer can come to battle various Non Playable Characters in order to earn Battle Points to purchase various Competitive Items from the shops within the facility.

However, things in the Battle Tower run a little differently than other Battle Facilities in past games. For one, instead of battling until you lose and then starting over once again, things run similar to the Ranked Battle Online Feature because their is now a Tiers System in place. Players will now start in the Beginning Tier, slowly moving up to the Poke Ball Tier and then the Great Ball Tier, Ultra Ball Tier and Master Ball Tier, respectively, based on the number of wins they accrue. Unfortunately, should you lose, your placement will drop down and you will have to start back up again.
