The Gym is run by [[Brawly]] who specializes in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Many citizens look up to [[Brawly]] and idolize him. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Knuckle}}. The Gym is a dark maze in which only little light is given. If the players battle the Gym Trainers, more light is awarded to the player. Once the player defeats [[Brawly]], the Gym is fully illuminated.

==In the anime==
Dewford Town appeared for a multiple episode arc between ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'' and ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]'', in which it was referred to as "Dewford Island". {{Ash}} sought to obtain the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from [[Brawly]], but failed in his first attempt in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''. He remained on the island for a lengthy time period, training, and finally defeated the Gym Leader in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]''.

Dewford Island appeared from ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'' to ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]''. Its main settlement, Dewford Town, features a three-tiered [[Pokémon Center]] and the [[Dewford Gym]]. {{Ash}} sought to obtain the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from [[Brawly]], but failed in his first attempt in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''. He remained on the island for a lengthy period of time, which he spent {{pkmn|training}}, and finally defeated the Gym Leader in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]''. The rematch took place on Brawly's own practice field, a rocky island connected to Dewford Island by a land bridge revealed during low tide.
 
In ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'', Dewford Island was revealed to have an ancient shrine, hidden in a cavern and surrounded by water, which both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] initially mistook for the [[Cave of Origin]].
 
During Ash's training on Dewford Island, [[May's Wurmple]] evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} and eventually {{p|Beautifly}}, he and {{ashfr}} met up with [[Steven Stone]] in [[Granite Cave]], and he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{AP|Corphish}}, while {{an|Brock}} caught a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. During this time, Ash and his friends also spent some time with [[Professor Birch]].
 
The island's sandy shores and warm waters make it an ideal surf and fishing spot. However, these same waters are home to sharp rocks and hordes of vicious {{p|Carvanha}} and {{p|Sharpedo}}. It also features many other environments, including forests, lakes, and caves.  


During Ash's training on Dewford Island, [[May's Wurmple]] evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} and eventually {{p|Beautifly}}, he and {{ashfr}} met up with [[Hoenn]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}} {{Steven}}, and he caught a {{AP|Corphish}}, while {{an|Brock}} caught a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.
Aside from Brawly, Dewford Island's other residents include a Mudkip raiser named [[Old Man Swamp]], [[Keanu]], and {{ho|Shauna}}.

Dewford Island appeared in ''[[SP20|Brock, A Man Of Resolve!!]]'', which adapted the events that led to {{an|Brock}} catching a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.
Dewford Town first appeared in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} where both {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} arrived there at the same time riding on [[Mr. Briney]]'s boat and {{p|Wailord|Lorry}}, respectively. Dewford was flooded during the climax of the chapter when [[Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Kyogre|Kyogre]] was awakened.

Dewford Town first appeared in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]'', with {{Steven}} being informed of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]'s near-completion as he was heading to investigate [[Granite Cave]].
 
In ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'', {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} arrived in Dewford Town at the same time, with Ruby sailing aboard [[Mr. Briney]]'s boat and Sapphire riding on her {{p|Wailord}}, Lorry. Both of them then headed to Granite Cave, Ruby to search for a {{p|Milotic}} and Sapphire to train for her match with [[Brawly]]. In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire challenged Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]], [[PS197|eventually]] emerging victorious and earning herself the {{badge|Knuckle}}. Sapphire soon reunited with Ruby again, who told her how he had met Steven Stone in the cave. As she was supposed to deliver a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone]] to Steven, Sapphire immediately gave chase, dragging Ruby along as well.


It reappeared in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} where Sapphire and {{adv|Emerald}} were training their Pokémon's ultimate attacks under [[Ultima]].
In ''[[PS235|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III]]'', Dewford Town was revealed to have been flooded following {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}'s awakening.
 
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Sapphire and {{adv|Emerald}} were seen in Dewford Town, where Steven had taken them to train [[Mega Evolution]] with [[Ultima]]'s guidance. For the training, he gave them the [[Mega Stone]]s of their respective [[first partner Pokémon]], [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, in ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]''. Once their training was complete, Mr. Stone told them to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] in ''[[PS600|Gorebyss Changes Color]]'', and took them to [[Sea Mauville]].

* In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], it is possible to strand a player in Dewford Town and the surrounding area of land, by first healing the party at Dewford [[Pokémon Center]], then defeating [[Norman]] before [[black out|blacking out]] or using {{m|Teleport}} without acquiring [[HM03]] ({{m|Surf}}) or healing at a different Pokémon Center. [[Pokémon Emerald]] prevents this by having the player immediately acquire HM03 after obtaining the [[Balance Badge]].
