A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective Gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon [[type]] and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a {{type|Water}} Gym or flowers and plants in a {{type|Grass}} Gym). According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader.
