Can You Challenge the Battle Tower in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? Answered

No, the Battle Tower isn’t in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet; however, this kind of post-game content in Scarlet and Violet was sacrificed for a richer story. Between the gyms, academy, Team Star, changes to breeding and shiny hunting, and Titan battles, there was never a chance to add a Battle Tower to the Paldea region, but Game Freak managed to include a few post-game activities that are almost as good.

It’s important to note that many items that were only available after winning so many battles in the Battle Tower are easily purchasable in Scarlet and Violet, and nature mints are probably the best example. Many TMs are only available as Battle Tower prizes in the Sinnoh remakes, but are now craftable with easy to obtain League Points. The lack of a Battle Tower in the latest Pokemon games certainly has its advantages.

That’s everything we have on is there a Battle Tower in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Check out some of our other Pokemon Scarlet and Violet content like how to get Booster Energy, and how to get Destiny Knot.
