This morning, Nintendo has gone into a bit more detail about Scarlet and Violet&#8217;s Battle Stadium feature, clueing us in on what game modes will be carried over from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_sword_and_shield\">Pok\u00e9mon Sword &amp; Shield<\/a> as well as revealing some original features.<\/p>\n<p>Much like its predecessor, Scarlet &amp; Violet&#8217;s Battle Stadium will let you showcase your battle skills on the global stage. Sharing two screenshots of what we can expect this mode to look like on Twitter, this shiny new Battle Stadium menu contains the same three game modes that we saw previously in Sword &amp; Shield and adds the &#8216;Rental Teams&#8217; feature, which we saw in the Battle Tower.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ready to challenge Trainers around the world with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PokemonScarletViolet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PokemonScarletViolet<\/a>\u2019s Battle Stadium feature?<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Intense Ranked Battles<br \/>\u2705 Casual Battles<br \/>\u2705 Online Competitions<\/p>\n<p>Learn more:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/j4GIJwcH3W\">https:\/\/t.co\/j4GIJwcH3W<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lZMzOoamwx\">pic.twitter.com\/lZMzOoamwx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span>\u2014 Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NintendoAmerica\/status\/1561601571296780289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>While Ranked, Casual and Online Battles will allow you to choose how competitive you want to be based on your skill level, the &#8216;Rental Teams&#8217; will again serve to shake things up a little. Previously, you had to go to the Battle Tower to input a code and get a Rental Team, but here, it looks like it&#8217;s baked into the online menu instead. Once again, we assume that you will be able to borrow a Battle Team which has been shared via a code online, or upload a team that you think is particularly good for others to try out around the world \u2014 sharing is caring!<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the &#8216;Rental Teams&#8217; feature as well as a recap on what you can expect from the continued game modes in Battle Stadium, check out the following details from the <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/scarletviolet.pokemon.com\/en-us\/news\/battle_stadium\/\">official Scarlet &amp; Violet site<\/a> below:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Casual Battles<br \/><\/strong>These are low-stakes battles in which results are not recorded. One appealing feature about these battles is that you can use any Pok\u00e9mon.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Ranked Battles<br \/><\/strong>In these battles, you will be able to test your battle skills against Pok\u00e9mon Trainers from all over the world. Your rank will change depending on your battle results. Trainers are sorted into tiers based on their ranks. If you can reach Master Ball Tier, the topmost tier, you&#8217;ll have a chance to vie to be the best Pok\u00e9mon Trainer in the world in fierce battles.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Online Competitions<br \/><\/strong>These are competitions in which Trainers can battle with other entrants.\u200b<br \/>\u2022 Official Competitions\u200b<br \/>Various kinds of rules may govern these special competitions in which you compete to see how high you can place in the rankings.\u200b<br \/>\u2022 Friendly Competitions\u200b<br \/>In this format, you can hold your very own competition or join one set up by other Trainers.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Rental Teams<br \/><\/strong>This feature lets you easily borrow Battle Teams by inputting IDs that have been shared online. You\u2019ll also be able to build your own Battle Team and make it available for Pok\u00e9mon Trainers all over the world to use!\u200b<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is worth bearing in mind that a full Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required to use the Battle Stadium feature and The Pok\u00e9mon Company also warn that the features may not be instantly available to you until they release an early update to the game.<\/p>\n<p><em>Will you be diving back into Battle Stadium on Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet &amp; Violet?
