Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the [[Gym Leader]], who is revered by both the lower-ranking members of the Gym and local fans. Usually, Gyms are designed to follow and suit the type that the Gym specializes in, such as [[Wattson]]'s Gym that has electric gates to indicate that it is {{t|Electric}}. However, there are also Gyms that do not practice this, such as [[Viridian Gym]] or [[Cinnabar Gym]]. | Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others.

Official Gyms are certified by a [[Pokémon League]], and at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s are requested before taking the Pokémon League challenge. Gyms are vital to a Pokémon Trainer's {{pkmn|journey}}; they may have to travel far and wide, as there can only be one Gym per city. There are also unofficial Gyms that are not certified, many of which are prestigious nonetheless. | Official Gyms are certified by a [[Pokémon League]], and at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s are requested before taking the Pokémon League challenge.

Currently, [[Alola]] is the only region with no Gyms or Gym Leader; instead, a ceremony known as the [[island challenge]] takes its place. | ||
