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.

Most official Gyms feature a number of Trainers that the player may face before battling the Gym Leader. Their teams typically consist of the same [[type]] of Pokémon that the Gym Leader has. These Trainers cannot be battled after the Gym Leader has been defeated, with the exception of those found in [[Driftveil Gym]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. | Most official Gyms feature a number of Trainers that the player may face before battling the Gym Leader.

At Gyms | After selecting a team (which can only be done after reaching level 5), a player can battle at Gyms. At Gyms of an opposing team, players can challenge them in order to decrease the motivation of Pokémon in the Gym, causing it to leave if its motivation hits 0. If all of a Gym's Pokémon are removed, the Gym becomes free to be claimed by any team. | ||
[[Raid Battle]]s occur exclusively at Gyms. | |||

==In the anime== | ==In the anime== | ||
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, | In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Trainers challenge Gyms in order to earn Badges, which grant them entry to that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. All official Gyms present in the [[core series]] games have been featured in the anime. | ||
Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least 9 Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. | With the exception of the [[Orange Archipelago]], most regions seem to have at least eight Gyms which Trainers can choose to challenge, and winning Badges from any eight qualifies a Trainer for the region's Pokémon League Conference. In [[Unova]], while Ash originally intended to earn the Legend Badge, he ultimately earns the Toxic Badge from the [[Virbank Gym]] as his eighth Badge instead. | ||
Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as [[Gary Oak]] earning ten Badges in Kanto. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least 9 Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games. | |||
Gyms can be battled in any order, with Ash and his friends seeming to pick out Gyms based on their current location. However, at times, a certain Gym order has been implied in the anime. In the case of Hoenn, Ash originally challenges [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'', at which time Norman explains to Ash that he must have three Pokémon to challenge the [[Petalburg Gym]] officially. Instead, Norman points to [[Rustboro Gym|Rustboro]] as the first Gym Ash should face. | |||
In Kalos, due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four Kalos Gym Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|was able to reprogram the Clembot]], he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym. | |||
Gyms are inspected by the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], which can shut down Gyms which are not up to standard. The Agency can also determine whether unofficial Gyms are worthy of becoming official. | |||
===Rules=== | |||
Most Gym battles are conducted as Single Battles, although some have been held as [[Double Battle]]s. | |||
In most cases, Gym Leaders are not permitted to [[Recall|switch]] Pokémon while challengers are; although those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. Challengers are usually only allowed to use the same number of Pokémon as the Gym Leader, but some Gym battles—such as with [[Roxie]] and [[Grant]]—have exceptions. In a Gym battle, a Pokémon is determined unable to be unable to battle when declared as such by a [[battle judge]]. | |||
Gym Leaders appear to be able to impose their own rules, in addition to the standard set of rules for Gym battles. In particular, the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles. | |||
====Special rules==== | |||
* For [[Mossdeep Gym]]'s {{badge|Mind}}, Ash battled [[Tate and Liza]] in a [[Double Battle]]. For [[Anistar Gym]]'s {{badge|Psychic}}, he battled [[Olympia]] in a Double Battle. | |||
* [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis Gym]] has a unique two round system, with the first round being a Double Battle. Once the challenger wins the first round, they enter the second round, battling against three of his Pokémon in a Single Battle. Only the challenger is allowed to substitute, and can use five Pokémon. | |||
* When Ash challenged [[Whitney]] of the [[Goldenrod Gym]] in Johto to a rematch, he fought three-on-one in his favour, with Whitney only using her {{p|Miltank}}. | |||
* For the [[Striaton Gym]]'s {{badge|Trio}}, the challenger can choose which of the three Gym Leaders they want to battle. However, Ash challenged all three triplets, making the battle a best-two-out-of-three tournament, with Ash only earning a Badge after defeating at least two of the Gym Leaders. | |||
* For the [[Nacrene Gym]]'s {{badge|Basic}}, both the challenger and the Gym Leader use the same number of Pokémon, with both being allowed to make substitutions. | |||
* For the [[Mistralton Gym]]'s {{badge|Jet}}, the challenger and the Gym Leader used to engage in "Air Battles". In these, the Gym Leader first displays her three chosen Pokémon, followed with the challenger revealing their own three, then the Gym Leader decides the outcome of the battle using her own experience without even physically battling. | |||
* For the [[Virbank Gym]]'s {{badge|Toxic}}, the battle was teams were three-on-six in Ash's favor, with only him being allowed to make substitutions. | |||
* For the [[Cyllage Gym]]'s {{badge|Cliff}}, the Gym Leader uses only two Pokémon, while the challenger has access to all of theirs. | |||
====Orange League==== | |||
In the anime-exclusive [[Orange League]], the four Gym Leaders each have their own special requirements challengers must meet in order to gain their Gym Badges. | |||
* For the {{badge|Coral Eye}}, the challenger and Gym Leader [[Cissy]] go head-to-head in three water-based physical challenges using their Water-type Pokémon. | |||
* For the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, the challenger must complete two of Gym Leader [[Danny]]'s three challenges, though they were only qualified to do so if they could pass his pre-test, which was to climb a mountain to the peak, where the Gym is located. These challenges are to freeze a geyser with their Pokémon's ice attack, build a bobsled (or toboggan) from said geyser with the help of three of their Pokémon, and compete in a bobsled race down the side of the mountain against Danny. | |||
* For the {{badge|Spike Shell}}, Gym Leader [[Rudy]] assigns the challenger an attack challenge in which they must use their Pokémon to knock down all the targets on a tricky water course. If they pass this pre-test, they must defeat Rudy in a three-on-three battle, with Pokémon of the same type battling each other. | |||
* For the {{badge|Jade Star}}, the challenger must battle Gym Leader [[Luana]] in a [[Double Battle]]. | |||
====Puzzles==== | |||
Some Gyms also require the challenger to undergo a trial or a test before they can battle the Gym Leader. | |||
* The [[Fuchsia Gym]] in Kanto was set up like a ninja house and riddled with traps, with the Trainers had to make their way through before they were allowed to challenge the Gym Leader. | |||
* The [[Cinnabar Gym]] (again in Kanto) was hidden, and required challengers to find it by solving the riddles given by the disguised Gym Leader, [[Blaine]]. | |||
* The [[Nacrene Gym]] in Unova could only be accessed if the Trainer picks the right book in an entire library. | |||
* The [[Lumiose Gym]] in Kalos, when under the charge of the [[Clembot]], used to first require Trainers to have four Badges before they could challenge the Gym. | |||
