How to Unlock the Battle Tower in Pokemon Sword & Shield

In order to unlock the Battle Tower, all you’ll need to do is complete the main campaign. To be exact, this means becoming the Champion in Pokemon Sword & Shield and defeating a lot of strong trainers in a row to do so.

Once you become champion, you’ll be able to head over to Rose Tower, located in Wyndon.

By this point in the game, the tower has now actually been converted to something called the Battle Tower.

What is the Battle Tower?

Head inside the Battle Tower and it is revealed that you can now fight against stronger NPCS in Single or Double Battles.

For each path, you must consecutively defeat trainers until you reach the final Master Ball tier. Each tier is more difficult, making it pretty hard to get all the way to the top.

With each win, you’ll earn rewards such as Rare Candies, Mints, BP, and even Bottle Caps.

Each of these rewards serves to improve your Pokemon’s overall skill and abilities, something that is invaluable to trainers who want to make a splash on the competitive scene.

And that is everything you need to know about how to unlock the Battle Tower and what it does in Pokemon Sword & Shield.
