When you challenge Brawly, you'll discover in battle that he has a {{p|Machop}}, a {{p|Meditite}} and a {{p|Makuhita}}. All three are weak to Flying-type attacks, and they all know {{m|Bulk Up}}, a move that simultaneously boosts their Attack and Defense. Brawly sends out Machop first. A good super-effective attack will take it out in one hit. Meditite knows a very powerful move— {{m|Focus Punch}}, which has 150 base power! However, you don't need to worry about getting hit by this move if you don't use Status-altering moves. Stick with attacking, and Focus Punch will be unable to hit. You should be able to take out Meditite reasonably quickly— don't let {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}} worry you. Makuhita is Brawly's best Pokémon. Its Attack stat gives a lot of power to its moves, which are {{m|Arm Thrust}}, {{m|Vital Throw}}, {{m|Reversal}}, and the aforementioned Bulk Up. Arm thrust strikes multiple times in the same turn, and hits two to five times. Vital Throw is an attack that cannot miss but always strikes last. Reversal gets more powerful the less HP Makuhita has, so watch out! The best strategy in this Gym is to just keep attacking.

Once you defeat Brawly, he will award you with the Knuckle Badge. He will also give you {{TM|08|Bulk Up}}. You now have the ability to use {{m|Flash}}, so your next destination is [[Granite Cave]]!

[[Roxanne]] (Rustboro gym leader) will automatically be added soon to your [[PokéNav]] as you take a few steps on outskirts of a place, but only after you defeating [[Brawly]], something we have already done.
After you defeat Brawly and leave the Gym, [[Roxanne]] will call you and register herself on your [[PokéNav]].
