Like in the games, the Gym is located underground, and is kept constantly cold. The battlefield is covered with ice, similar to a hockey rink, with large chunks of ice standing on it. The slippery conditions can offer a challenge of their own for unprepared challengers. | Like in the games, the Gym is located underground, and is kept constantly cold.

|desc={{p|Vanillish}} was the first Pokémon Brycen used against Ash in their Gym battle. At first, Ash sent out {{AP|Krokorok}}. However, after Krokorok had failed to land any hits on Vanillish and taken some [[damage]], Ash recalled him and sent out {{AP|Scraggy}} instead. Scraggy found it difficult to work properly on an icy field, and was at first unable to land any hits. He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his "pants" before firing a {{m|Focus Blast}}. By a stroke of luck, Focus Blast hit Vanillish from behind, and Scraggy was able to finish the Icy Snow Pokémon with a {{m|Headbutt}}. | |||
Vanillish's known moves are {{m|Astonish}}, {{m|Icicle Spear}}, {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Mirror Shot}}.}} | |||

|desc={{p|Cryogonal}} was the second Pokémon Brycen used against Ash in their Gym battle. [[Ash's Scraggy]] was unable to land a single hit on the Crystallizing Pokémon before he was [[fainting|knocked out]] by a powerful Aurora Beam. Next Ash sent out his {{AP|Pignite}}, whose {{m|Flame Charge}} was blocked by Cryogonal's Reflect. However, despite scoring several hits on Pignite with Rapid Spin and Frost Breath, Cryogonal was unable to stand out the Fire Pig Pokémon's {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and was knocked out. | |||
Cryogonal's known moves are {{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Aurora Beam}}, {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Frost Breath}}.}} | |||

|desc=Brycen has a {{p|Beartic}} as his main Pokémon. | |||
Beartic was used in a Gym Battle against {{Ash}}, as the third and final Pokémon used by him. It was able to easily defeat {{AP|Pignite}} despite the type disadvantage with its super-effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just {{AP|Krokorok}}. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Dig}}. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}. | |||
Beartic's known moves are {{m|Brine}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Icicle Crash}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.}} | |||

The Icirrus Gym appeared in ''[[PS503|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[PS504|The Cold Hard Truth]]'', and ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', during the time when {{adv|Black}} challenged the Gym. After making his way through the ice maze, he started his battle with Brycen. During the battle, Black asked Brycen about the talk about "truth" and "ideals" he and [[Drayden]] had had at the [[Tubeline Bridge]]. Brycen explained that as [[Team Plasma]] had stolen the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Dark Stone}} and were attempting to revive {{p|Zekrom}}, Black should take the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} to awaken {{p|Reshiram}} in order to fight Zekrom. After a while of thinking, Black agreed to this, saying that as [[N]] was also attempting to defeat [[Alder]], he was bound to face him at some point. | The Icirrus Gym appeared in ''[[PS503|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[PS504|The Cold Hard Truth]]'', and ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', during the time when {{adv|Black}} challenged the Gym.
