The Sinnoh Battle Frontier is exclusive to Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. After defeating the Elite Four and tag teaming with your Rival to defeat Volkner and Flint in Pokémon Platinum, you gain access to the Sinnoh Battle Frontier. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, you gain access to it by just beating the Elite Four. The symbol for this Battle Frontier is a pentagon with a large dot in the edges. These indicate the Battle Facilities: the Battle Tower, the Battle Arcade, the Battle Castle, the Battle Hall, and the Battle Factory. Like in Pokemon Emerald's Battle Frontier, each facility is led by a Frontier Brain.

The Battle Arcade is a new challenge. It is a standard 3-on-3 battle, but there is a catch. Prior to battling an opponent, the player must spin and stop a gameboard via the touch screen. The space that the player lands on determines the effects of the battle. The effects can affect the player, the opponent, or both; depending on which space they landed. The more wins you get, the harder your opponents get and the faster the board goes.

Battle Castle

The Battle Castle is a facility featured in the new Battle Frontier, and is situated in the south-western corner. In the Battle Castle, the player must fight 7 trainers in a row, with the prerequisite being that all hold items must be removed prior to entry. Trainers are also limited to using only 3 Pokémon, all of which have had their levels reduced to level 50.

Battle Hall

You choose the type of your opponents. Every time you beat a type, the opponents' rank goes up. This makes them smarter have a higher level, and higher stats.
