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.

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.

* 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]].
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there's a calendar in one of the houses that features a popular fanmade map of the [[Pokémon world]].
