The Battle Tower is unlocked after defeating the Elite Four at the Pokemon League. Once you've done that, head to Snowpoint City and take the boat to the Battle Zone. Once you arrive at the Fight Area you will encounter your rival and a new character called Buck. There is a Pokemart and Pokemon Center among other buildings here if you need to purchase any items or heal your Pokemon.

Once you've done what you need there you can head into the Battle Tower which has a shop where you can purchase many items and TMs by using Battle Points that you earn by taking part in the Battle Tower, a full list of items is below.

Pokemon BDSP Battle Tower Best Teams

When it comes to the best teams to use there are a few different Pokemon that prove to be very strong in the Battle Tower and can help you gain a 49 win streak to unlock the Master Class or even take you to 100 wins for the bragging rights over your friends.

While you will encounter many different Pokemon in the Battle Tower, including many that aren't in the original Sinnoh Pokedex, there are a few that you will need to watch out for as these can devastate a team very quickly, especially if you happen to be weak against their attacks, which many Pokemon in our lists are.

These Pokemon are:

• Starmie
• Jangaskhan
• Quagsire
• Zapdos
• Gyarados
• Heracross
• Latios
• Mamoswine
• Lapras

A number of the Pokemon in this list can use Ice-type moves, which can be effective against many different types of Pokemon. It is impossible to create a perfect team as every Pokemon is strong and weak against certain typings, but the Battle Tower will give you a lot of good practice at creating a competitive team that you can then take online and battle against real trainers as you try and prove that you're the very best.
