The Battle Frontier is a location, accessible in Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, that houses five Battle Facilities where the goal is to defeat Trainers without losing. Each Battle Facility has a leader, known as the Frontier Brain, who can be battled after a given number of Trainers have been defeated, without the player losing to any one. Each Frontier Brain has two encounters in their facility. Winning the first Frontier Brain fight will give the player a Silver Print for that facility on their Vs. Recorder, and winning the second fight will upgrade the print to a Gold Print. Additionally, achieving 100 wins in the Battle Tower specifically will give the player a star for their Trainer Card, and winning certain modes in the Battle Tower will give the player's Pokémon Ribbons.
The list of facilities is as follows:

Although each facility has different rules, there are some restrictions that apply to all of them.

Mewtwo Mew Spiky-Eared Pichu Lugia Ho-Oh
Celebi Kyogre Groudon Rayquaza Jirachi
Deoxys Dialga Palkia Giratina Phione
Manaphy Darkrai Shaymin Arceus Eggs

Specific data about the mechanics of each facility are given on those facilities' pages. Here are some more general resources:
