The Opelucid Gym is designed like a thin maze, with switches to open up the correct path. These switches cause dragon statues' heads to move, creating new paths for the player. After the switches have been hit in the right order, the path will lead the player to the Leader.

Opelucid Gym was mentioned in Caution: Icy Battle Conditions! as the next Gym that Ash could go to, and he started on the road there. In Clash of the Connoisseurs!, it was mentioned by Nurse Joy that it was closed.
Trivia
- This is the first Gym to have two different Gym Leaders between the initial two versions, and the second Gym to have two different Gym Leaders in the same generation (the first being the eighth Gym of Hoenn, Sootopolis Gym).
- Iris and Drayden's teams are identical except for their genders and the Ability of their Druddigon; Iris's Pokémon are all female and Drayden's are all male, while Iris's Druddigon has Sheer Force and Drayden's Druddigon has Rough Skin.
