How to Battle Trainers

Talk to A Trainer to Begin a Battle

Talk to Pokemon Trainers you see in the overworld
Search for Pokemon Trainers found in the overworld.
Press A to talk to Pokemon Trainers and Start the battle
Press A to talk to a Pokemon Trainer and begin the battle.

Pokemon Trainers are found in almost every area of Paldea. Press the A button to talk to one to start a battle with them

Battle Will Not Start Unless You Talk to Trainers

Unlike previous entries, you do not have to avoid a trainer's line of sight if you do not want to start a battle. You will only start battling a Pokemon Trainer if you talk to them directly.

Battle Pokemon Trainers to Earn Money

Battling Pokemon Trainers is a great way to earn money.

Battling Pokemon Trainers not only lets you level up your Pokemon, but will also reward you with money after every victory. We recommend that you Battle Pokemon Trainers as often as you can during the early game.

Talking him tolearn how many Trainers need to be defeated, as well as receive your reward
You can confirm how many Pokemon Trainers needed to be defeated, as well as receive your reward, by talking to him.

Whenever you reach a new Pokemon Center, search for a man wearing a suit with a yellow text bubble. He will not reward you after completing every Area Trainer Battle, but also inform you on how many Pokemon Trainers you need to defeat to receive the reward.

Looks like the map for Dalizapa Passage is missing. Two of the trainers on the map for West Province (Area Tree) actually count towards Dalizapa Passage. You do have the reward mentioned (Expert Belt).

The North Province (Area One) map incorrectly identifies the island the trainer is on. It is on the island south of the one depicted, which can be identified by the three dark brown rock formations on it.
