Battle Frontier Emerald · Dungeon

The Battle Frontier is Emerald's post-game battle complex, reached on the S.S. Tidal from Slateport or Lilycove once you have the S.S. Ticket. It has seven facilities, each with a Frontier Brain: Battle Tower (Anabel), Battle Dome (Tucker), Battle Palace (Spenser), Battle Arena (Greta), Battle Factory (Noland), Battle Pike (Lucy) and Battle Pyramid (Brandon). You earn Battle Points to spend on prizes, and the grounds also hold Scott's house, a Poké Mart and Artisan Cave.
