After entering the Hall of Fame, you now have access to the Battle Area. You can sail to it from Snowpoint City. In the Battle Area is the Battle Tower, where many talented trainers from all over the in-game globe gather to test their battle skills. Winning consecutive matches in the Battle Tower grants you battle points (BP), which you can use to exchange for rewards.
Below is the complete list of everything you can purchase from the Battle Tower, including their specific uses, in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Ability Patch (200 BP)
Giving a Pokémon an Ability Patch allows it to unlock its Hidden Ability. Hidden Abilities are different per species, but they’ve very deadly and often essential for competitive battling.
Ability Capsule (50 BP)
Each Pokémon normally has two abilities (not counting its Hidden Ability). The Ability Capsule will allow you to switch a Pokemon’s ability to its other one.
Bottle Cap (25 BP)
Bottle Caps are used to Hyper Train Pokémon at level 100. Hyper Training can raise one (or more) of your Pokemon’s IVs—values that people couldn’t change in the original Diamond and Pearl games. IVs are like a Pokemon’s genetics, and they determine how good a Pokémon is from birth.
You can Hyper Train Pokémon by giving bottle caps to the man standing left of the PC in the middle of the two Battle Tower reward counters.
Rare Candy (20 BP)
Raises a Pokemon’s level by one. You can also find a finite number in the overworld, which we have detailed in this Rare Candy guide.
PP Up (10 BP)
This raises the max PP of a Pokemon’s move by a small amount. You usually need three PP UPs to max out a move’s raisable PP.
Vitamins (1 BP)
Vitamins raise a particular stat’s EV by 10. You can buy them from the Veilstone Department Store, 2F for 9,800 Pokédollars as well. All six of them are available in the Battle Tower:
- Protein (+Attack)
- Iron (+Defense)
- Calcium (+Special Attack)
- Zinc (+Special Defense)
- Carbos (+Speed)
- HP Up (+HP)
Lucky Egg (77 BP)
This will allow the Pokémon holding it to double the EXP they receive. You can find a Lucky Egg in the Grand Underground, but you must purchase them here if you want more.
Power items (10 BP)
These EV training items double the number of EV points the Pokémon holding it receives. There are six of them available:
- Power Bracer (+Attack)
- Power Belt (+Defense)
- Power Lens (+Special Attack
- Power Band (+Special Defense)
- Power Anklet (+Speed)
- Power Weight (+HP)
EV berries (1 BP)
If you want to reset your Pokemon’s EVs, you need to give them one of six berries:
- Pomeg Berry (lowers HP)
- Kelpsy Berry (lowers Attack)
- Qualot Berry (lowers Defense)
- Hondew Berry (lowers Special Attack)
- Grepa Berry (lowers Special Defense)
- Tamato Berry (lowers Speed)

Each berry lowers EVs by 10 points. However, the first berry given will lower Pokemon’s EV stat to 100 no matter its initial value. Therefore, you will only need a maximum of 11 of the same berry to reset a specific stat’s EV fully.
Life Orb (25 BP)
The Life Orb boosts every Pokémon move’s power by 30 percent. However, the Pokémon loses a little HP after every offensive move used.
Toxic Orb (16 BP)
A Pokémon that holds the Toxic Orb becomes badly poisoned after one turn. It’s normally given to Pokémon with a Poison Heal ability, such as Breloom. It also works great with a Pokémon who knows Facade.
