All 14 Battle Frontier Symbols in Emerald

There are 14 symbols in the Emerald Battle Frontier: a silver and a gold at each of the seven facilities. You earn each one by beating that facility’s Frontier Brain, who only appears when your current streak reaches the number in the table below.

Symbols checklist

Facility	Symbol	Frontier Brain	Silver at	Gold at
Battle Tower	Ability Symbol	Salon Maiden Anabel	Battle 35	Battle 70
Battle Dome	Tactics Symbol	Dome Ace Tucker	Tournament 5	Tournament 10
Battle Palace	Spirits Symbol	Palace Maven Spenser	Battle 21	Battle 42
Battle Arena	Guts Symbol	Arena Tycoon Greta	Battle 28	Battle 56
Battle Factory	Knowledge Symbol	Factory Head Noland	Battle 21	Battle 42
Battle Pike	Luck Symbol	Pike Queen Lucy	Room 28	Room 140
Battle Pyramid	Brave Symbol	Pyramid King Brandon	Floor 21	Floor 70

The number is the battle, tournament, room or floor where the Brain stands in your way, and it has to come from one unbroken streak. If you lose at battle 34 of the Battle Tower, you start again from 1 and need another 35 in a row.

How the requirements actually play out

Each facility counts something different, which is why the numbers look so uneven.

• Battle Tower, Palace, Arena and Factory count single battles, grouped into rounds of seven. The Brain is always the last battle of a round: Anabel closes round 5, Spenser and Noland close round 3, Greta closes round 4.
• Battle Dome counts whole tournaments. Tucker waits in the final of your 5th and 10th tournament in a row.
• Battle Pike counts rooms, in challenges of 14. Lucy is at the end of your 2nd challenge for silver and your 10th for gold, which makes the Pike gold the longest streak in the Frontier.
• Battle Pyramid counts floors, in challenges of seven. Brandon waits at the top of your 3rd challenge for silver and your 10th for gold.

Silver and gold are separate fights, and every Brain except Noland (whose Pokémon are random rentals) uses a different, stronger team for gold. You keep a symbol forever once you’ve won it, even if you lose the streak straight after.

Frontier Brains only appear in 3-vs-3 Single Battles. A streak in the Battle Tower’s Double or Multi Battle rooms, or in the Factory’s Double Battles, never reaches a Brain.

Which symbols are easiest?

Most players pick up their first silvers at the Dome (only five tournaments), the Battle Factory (no trained team needed) and the Battle Pike (28 rooms, but luck plays a part). The hardest are usually the Pike and Battle Pyramid golds, because one bad room or one badly-timed status condition can end a run that’s been going for hours. The Battle Tower gold asks for 70 straight wins against increasingly strong teams, so it needs a properly bred team.

If you’re deciding where to go next, read the Battle Palace guide and the Battle Arena guide: both facilities take control away from you in different ways, so the teams that win there aren’t the ones that win at the Tower.

What you get for collecting them

The symbols are mostly bragging rights: they’re shown on your Frontier Pass. Scott, the Frontier’s owner, also rewards full sets from his house between the Battle Dome and Battle Tower:

• All seven silver symbols: a Lansat Berry.
• All seven gold symbols: a Starf Berry.

Each Brain win also pays 10 BP on top of that round’s normal Battle Points; see the Battle Points guide for what BP buys. Once you have three silver symbols, a man in the house south of the Battle Pyramid will also let you bet 5, 10 or 15 BP on winning a challenge at a facility he picks each day.

Start counting

The games don’t show your current streak at every facility on one screen, and it’s easy to lose track of how many rooms or floors you have left. The Battle Frontier tracker keeps a counter for all seven facilities, shows how far you are from the next symbol, and ticks the symbols off as you go.
