Ecruteak Gym: Difference between revisions

In {{game|Crystal}} and [[Generation IV]], the {{player}} won't be able to challenge the Ecruteak Gym when they first arrive in Ecruteak City, as Morty is with [[Eusine]] at the [[Burned Tower]], searching for signs of the [[Legendary beasts]]. As soon as the player has awakened {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, Morty will return to the Gym, allowing it to be challenged.

Ecruteak Gym has been in a few episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Unlike the games, the Gym does not have an invisible floor that challengers can fall through.

 

{{Ash}} battled Morty in the Gym in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''. Using his {{AP|Noctowl}}'s ability to use {{m|Foresight}} and other {{type|Psychic}} attacks, Ash successfully defeated Morty and earned his Fog Badge.

The Gym also appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. [[Eusine]], an expert on [[Legendary Pokémon]], was in Ecruteak learning about the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. After {{TRT}} stole the bells in the tower, Ash and {{ashfr}} met up with Morty to find out what was going on. When a swarm of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon began covering the tower in {{m|String Shot}}, everybody took cover in the Gym. It was also where Eusine challenged Ash to a battle, claiming the young Trainer was lying about seeing both {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, the Bug Pokémon crisis prevented them from conducting their battle.

Ecruteak Gym appeared again in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where Gold visited the Gym to ask Morty help to find [[Lance]], who was missing after he had been attacked by [[Petrel]] on his way to the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. Morty was able to draw a crude image of what he saw, later leading Gold to the [[Ruins of Alph]], where Lance was hiding. Silver also arrived at the Gym to ask Morty's help to find the 13 remaining [[Plate]]s. At the Gym, he was confronted by [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], and [[Chuck]], who were protecting the Gym per Morty's request. At first, they were suspicious towards him, but when Silver revealed that {{adv|Blue}} had entrusted him with the {{TP|Silver|Rhyperior}} he had helped Blue to evolve, they allowed him to enter. Before Silver could ask Morty anything, however, {{p|Arceus}} appeared and blasted the Gym, destroying it. Despite being weakened by the attack, Morty was able to use his last remaining strength to mark the locations of the Plates on a map, allowing Silver and his {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} to track them down across the [[region]].

==Trivia==

* All of the Trainers in the Gym, Morty included, use only the {{p|Gastly}} evolutionary line, despite {{p|Misdreavus}} being available in Johto.

* All of the {{p|Haunter}} found in this Gym are [[Level#Underleveled Pokémon|underleveled]], as Gastly doesn't evolve until [[level]] 25.
