In Route 7, there is a place where you can battle, in Battle Chateau. You're also given the ranks of nobility like Baron or Baroness. When you're stronger, your rank is higher, and you might be able to battle the Champion Diantha herself! What's your opinion about Battle Chateau, and what's your current rank?

I actually like the Battle Chateau. It is really awesome to battle there. It was great to have in the game. I am currently at the rank of either Earl or Marquis.

The Battle Chateau is one of my fave locations in Kalos, and it's also my fave spot to train given some trainers in there use Audinos. Apparently the trainers in there specialize in different stats based on their Trainer Class appearance (Gentleman = Attack, Socialite = Defense, Rich Boy = Sp. Attack, Lady = Sp. Defense, Butler = Speed and Maid = HP).

As for my current rank, I'm on the highest rank which is Grand Duchess.

I have achieved the highest rank. I love the fast xp to be gained at the Battle Chateau. Sadly, I keep having to run around and challenge trainers, when they should be coming to me in some kind of throne room.

That's pretty neat, I was not aware of that!

I'm a Grand Duke, but I rarely use the Battle Chateau now. I used to train there all the time (Audino ^^), but then I discovered the wonders of Le Wow + O-Powers :P It was very fun to keep coming back there to train at various points during the main storyline to improve my rank, though.

I like the Battle Chateau a lot. It's helpful in leveling your Pokemon, and its conveiniently placed next to the Day Care, where I spend a lot of time these days.

I have attained the rank of Grand Duchess, and have been one for a long time now. Bow down to me, ♥♥♥♥♥es.

ENTER GRAND DUKE BLUE!

I love the battle chateau! It's where i make most of my money, not to mention the black writs of challenge which give me all the training i need. Speaking of which, i am under a million right now, probably should go back and battle some more :)

It's time to answer it myself haha.
I'm currently a Grand Duke, and I like Battle Chateau because I'm able to level up my Pokémon much quicker, especially because I can battle against Gym Leaders, Elite Four and even Champion Diantha.

I love this feature! :D I used it so much to train & evolve Pokemon when I was trying to complete my dex. I have the highest possible rank but it frustrates me how you can still run into lv. 15 trainers and etc when going through it.. they should weed those out the higher rank you obtain, but eh, I won't complain much. It's a great way to earn money and train. ;P

My current rank is Duke/Duchess. I'm not sure who else I needed to defeat to reach the final tier. I ranked up pretty quickly when trying to evolve Pokemon to complete the National Dex. It's more convenient than the Elite 4 challenge, too.

To get the Grand Duke/Grand Duchess rank, you need to defeat all the individual trainers at least once and then you'll finally be able to get Diantha to show up. The list of trainers found in the Battle Chateau, along with the Pokemon they use are shown here.

Yes, but I've pummeled everyone who's come my way. I'm not sure who's left, some plebeian, because I'm sure I've faced all of the gym leaders and elite four... No, I bet it was Wikstrom who was avoiding me. -sobs-

Same. When I go into the Chateau, I wanna fight Gym leaders and Elite 4 members and Audino girls, not some scrubs with level 15 Pokémon who're full of themselves. I'm Grand Duchess, gimme some real opponents.

Yeah it's kinda baffling that even in the higher ranks we can still end up fighting lower ranked Barons/Baronesses and Viscounts/Viscountesses. Well, at least there's still those writs that can raise levels of the trainers, but still yeah it kinda annoys me when I'm level grinding and I find myself battling mostly the weak ones.

And I get really infuriated by those ones who abuse Fake Out and Protect/Detect a lot, especially that one Countess who uses a Whirlipede, it's damn obsessed with using Protect. Also, a Viscount who uses a Mienfoo really likes to annoy as well since he likes opening with Fake Out and then use Detect next turn.

In order to avoid fighting non-Marchioness or higher, I find myself saving right before using an Exp O-Power, and restarting over and over... until I get an idea of who in the nearby rooms are worth facing. Then I rush to fight 3 or so of them with the O-Power on. :( Very inconvenient. I also don't like how they don't tell you how many opponents you've beaten.

I just recently reached the highest rank in the house... Grand Marqis? Took quite a long time.
You mean Grand Duke, or Grand Duchess if you're female.
