A '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') is a place where [[Pokémon Trainer]]s go to {{pkmn|training|train}} their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Just like real-life {{wp|gym}}nasiums, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their {{pkmn|battle|battling}} skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain [[experience]]. | A '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') is a place where [[Pokémon Trainer]]s go to {{pkmn|training|train}} their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the [[Gym Leader]], who is revered by both the lower-ranking members of the Gym and local fans. Usually, Gyms are designed to follow and suit the type that the Gym specializes in, such as [[Wattson]]'s Gym that has electric gates to indicate that it is {{t|Electric}}. However, there are also Gyms that do not practice this, such as [[Viridian Gym]] or [[Cinnabar Gym]]. | Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others.

Official Gyms are certified by a [[Pokémon League]], and at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s are requested before taking the Pokémon League challenge. Gyms are vital to a Pokémon Trainer's {{pkmn|journey}}; they may have to travel far and wide, as there can only be one Gym per city. There are also unofficial Gyms that are not certified, many of which are prestigious nonetheless. | Official Gyms are certified by a [[Pokémon League]], and at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s are requested before taking the Pokémon League challenge.
