Battlefield

The Mossdeep Gym (Japanese: トクサネジム Tokusane Gym) is the official Gym of Mossdeep City. It is based on Psychic-type Pokémon. The Gym Leaders are Tate and Liza. Trainers who defeat them receive the Mind Badge.

In the games

In Ruby and Sapphire the Gym's floor is covered with tiles similar to spinners that whisk the player across to another area of the Gym when stepped on. Pulling switches changes the direction certain tiles point, allowing the player to access the Gym Leaders when all the switches are pulled. A warp tile next to them warps the player back to the entrance.

In Emerald, the Gym is based on Saffron Gym and is a series of rooms connected by warp tiles. Each room contains Trainers and obstacles on spinners that rotate when certain tiles are stepped on, changing the path and often bringing the sight of enemy Trainers in-line with the player. Mossdeep Gym is the only Gym in Emerald to change its gimmick so drastically. Also, although other Trainers and statues spin on the spinners, the player is unaffected by them.

When defeated, Tate and Liza will give the player the Mind Badge as well as TM04 (Calm Mind) as a reward.

In the anime

The Mossdeep Gym appeared in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me! and Solid as a Solrock. Ash challenged them to Gym battle, and was able to after Tate and Max finished their adventure in the Mossdeep rocket. Ash used his Pikachu and Swellow in the match. He managed to win with Thunder Armor.

Trivia
