Select either level, it doesn't really matter. Then select 2 Pokémon you wish to compete.

On the first pause, don't switch off the GBA/DS. After the pause, the lady would ask "Do you want to save?(again)." Now this is when you switch off the GBA/DS.

Question

Will this work anywhere else, like a battle tent?

Community Answer

No, this works because the save in the Battle Tower link section only saves the bag and party. It is possible to clone 6 Pokémon at once, but one other Pokémon will be lost forever.
