Survival Area

Main article: Battleground

Only present in Pokémon Platinum, the player can rematch Gym Leaders and battle the Stat Trainers here after completing the Stark Mountain quest. Up to four of these Trainers appear each day and the player can battle them only once a day. The Gym Leaders' and Trainers' Pokémon levels are between 61 and 66.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the population of Survival Area is 20. This makes it a medium-sized town for the Battle Zone, but one of the smallest in Sinnoh overall.

In Pokémon Platinum, 35 different characters can appear in the Survival Area, including the Gym Leaders and the Stat Trainers, but only a maximum of 26 people can be found simultaneously in the town, having only 22 when excluding visiting Trainers. This makes it a medium-sized town by both the standards of the Battle Zone and Sinnoh overall.

Barry can be battled at the Survival Area on Saturdays and Sundays.
