Mossdeep City Pokémon Gym Leaders: Liza & Tate
The mystic combination!
In Ruby and Sapphire, the Gym's floor is covered with tiles similar to spin tiles that whisk the player across to another area of the Gym when stepped on. Pulling switches changes the direction certain tiles point, allowing the player to reach Tate and Liza when all the switches are pulled. A warp tile next to them warps the player back to the entrance.
In Emerald, the Gym is similar to Saffron Gym in that it is a series of rooms connected by warp tiles. Each room contains Trainers and obstacles on spin tiles that rotate when certain tiles are stepped on, changing the path and often bringing the sight of enemy Trainers in-line with the player. Mossdeep Gym is the only Gym in Emerald to change its gimmick so drastically. Also, although other Trainers and statues spin on the spin tiles, the player is unaffected by them.
At least one of the Gym Trainers must be battled in order to reach Tate and Liza.
Generation VI
Mossdeep City Pokémon Gym Leaders: Liza & Tate
The mystic combination!
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Gym is entirely redesigned. Platforms are connected by strings of energy orbs that automatically direct the player between them. The player must inspect stones on the various platforms to change which orbs are lit up, and thus which paths they can take through the Gym.
When defeated, Tate and Liza will give the player the Mind Badge as well as TM04 (Calm Mind) as a reward.
Trainers with a PokéNav by their names will be registered in the Trainer's Eyes or Match Call function after the first battle, and may have a rematch with the player with higher-level Pokémon.

Ash originally met Tate and Liza while they were having a battle in a zero-gravity room, and was surprised to find out that there were two Gym Leaders in one Gym. After Max and Tate worked together to save the space shuttle from being stolen by Team Rocket, Tate and Liza agreed to battle Ash. For the battle against Lunatone and Solrock, Ash chose Pikachu and Swellow, the latter in order to counter Lunatone and Solrock's ability to float in the air.
However, in the middle of the battle, Team Rocket showed up with their new robot, and stole Lunatone and Solrock. With Ash and his friends' help, the two Pokémon were recovered, but since the robot had opened a hole in the Gym's roof, the Gym battle was finished outdoors instead.
Liza's Lunatone is the Pokémon she uses in all Gym battles. When the twins battled each other in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!, Lunatone won the battle for Liza. She later also used it against Team Rocket after they failed to steal a space shuttle from the Mossdeep Space Center. In Solid as a Solrock!, it fought with Tate's Solrock against Ash's Pikachu and Swellow but lost.
