Mossdeep Gym: Difference between revisions

The '''Mossdeep Gym''' (Japanese: '''トクサネジム''' ''Tokusane Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Mossdeep City]].  It is based on {{type2|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.  The [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Tate and Liza]].  {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat them receive the {{Badge|Mind}}.

In Ruby and Sapphire the gym's floor is covered with tiles similar to [[spinner]]s 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 access the Gym Leaders when all the switches are pulled. A [[warp tile]] next to them warps the player back to the entrance.

In Emerald, the gym is based on [[Saffron Gym]] and is a series of rooms connected by warp tiles. Each room contains trainers and obstacles on spinners 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 spinners, the player is unaffected by them.

When defeated, Tate and Liza will give the player the {{badge|Mind}} as well as {{TM|04|Calm Mind}} as a reward.

The Mossdeep Gym appeared in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]'' and ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]''. {{Ash}} challenged them to gym battle, and was able to after Tate and [[Max]] finished their adventure in the Mossdeep rocket. Ash used his {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Swellow}} in the match. He managed to win with Thunder Armor.
