Link Battles and Formats

First introduced in the 2nd Generation of Pokemon Games, the Colosseum allows trainers to engage in Singles or Double Battles with one other trainer, or have a Multi Battle with three other trainers!

Similar to the Union Room, players can battle using Local and Online Communications, and add a Link Code to narrow down potential challengers.

Multiplayer and Online Features

Single Battles

Double Battles

Multi Battles

These battles are done with 2 pairs of trainers for a total of 4 trainers, with each player sending one Pokemon into battle at a time.
