A ''' | A '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') is a place where [[Pokémon Trainer]]s go to train their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Just like real life {{wp|Gym|gymnasium}}s, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their {{pkmn|battle|battling}} skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain [[experience]]. | ||
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. In the games, there is [[Gym guide|a character]] that stands near the door giving tips on how to beat the Gym's challenges. | Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others.
