A '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') (short for '''Pokémon 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]].

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]].

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. Currently, [[Alola]] is the only region with no Gyms or Gym Leader; instead, a ceremony known as the [[island challenge]] takes its place.

==In core series games==
===Official Gyms===
Most official Gyms feature a number of Trainers that the player may face before battling the Gym Leader. Their teams typically consist of the same [[type]] of Pokémon that the Gym Leader has. These Trainers cannot be battled after the Gym Leader has been defeated, with the exception of those found in [[Driftveil Gym]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}.

The [[Gym guide]] routinely stands at the entrance of the Gym, giving the player advice about the type advantages corresponding to the signature type of the Gym Leader.

There are generally eight known official Gyms in [[core series]] [[region]]s that include Gyms. In [[Galar]], Gym Leaders typically are fought in Stadiums that welcome spectators and facilitate the use of [[Dynamax]] through a Power Spot.

{{incomplete|section|needs=HGSS pictures different colors, Generation VI pictures}}
[[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|V}}, {{gen|VI}}, and {{gen|VIII}} have a unique design for each Gym (except [[Cinnabar Gym]], which is destroyed). However, in Generation II, the only difference is the shape and color of the roof, with the exception of Saffron and Cerulean Gyms. In Generation VIII, the only differences are the color scheme and the type logo above the entrance, with the exceptions of Motostoke Stadium, Spikemuth Gym, and Hammerlocke Stadium.

===Unofficial Gyms===
====Saffron City Dojo====
{{Main|Fighting Dojo}}
The Trainers of this Gym specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. It used to be an official Gym until [[Sabrina]] defeated its Leader, [[Koichi]]. After the player defeats the Dojo's Karate Master Koichi, he will give the player either {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

====Prestige Precept center====
{{main|Prestige Precept Center}}
Also known as the Pre Gym, this unofficial Gym of [[Phenac City]] doubles as an {{pkmn|academy}}. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], its Leader, [[Justy]], will not battle the Trainer until they have at least six Pokémon, and will give away {{TM|27|Return}}.

====Kantonian Gym====
{{main|Kantonian Gym}}
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], there is an unofficial Gym in [[Malie City]] modeled after the [[Vermilion Gym]] from Kanto. The Leader of this Gym will give the [[Surge Badge]] after the player defeats him for the first time.

==In Pokémon GO==
{{main|Gym (GO)}}
[[File:GO Guide Gym 1.png|thumb|150px|A Gym in Pokémon GO, claimed by Team Valor, with a {{p|Metagross}} as its strongest Pokémon]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], Gyms are located at various locations in the real world, being depicted as large towers in the Map View.

If a Gym tower is red, yellow, or blue, that Gym is currently controlled by the team of that color; if a Gym tower is white, that Gym is currently not controlled by any team.

After selecting a team (which can only be done after reaching level 5), a player can battle at Gyms. At Gyms of an opposing team, players can challenge them in order to decrease the motivation of Pokémon in the Gym, causing it to leave if its motivation hits 0. If all of a Gym's Pokémon are removed, the Gym becomes free to be claimed by any team.

{{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s occur exclusively at Gyms.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Trainers challenge Gyms in order to earn Badges, which grant them entry to that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. All official Gyms present in the [[core series]] prior to [[Generation VIII]] games have been featured in the anime.

With the exception of the [[Orange Islands]], most regions seem to have at least eight Gyms which Trainers can choose to challenge, and winning Badges from any eight qualifies a Trainer for the region's Pokémon League Conference. In [[Unova]], while Ash originally intended to earn the Legend Badge, he ultimately earns the Toxic Badge from the [[Virbank Gym]] as his eighth Badge instead.

Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as [[Gary Oak]] earning ten Badges in Kanto. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games.

Gyms can be battled in any order, with Ash and his friends seeming to pick out Gyms based on their current location. However, at times, a certain Gym order has been implied in the anime. In the case of Hoenn, Ash originally challenges [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'', at which time Norman explains to Ash that he must have three Pokémon to challenge the [[Petalburg Gym]] officially. Instead, Norman points to [[Rustboro Gym|Rustboro]] as the first Gym Ash should face.

In Kalos, due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four Kalos Gym Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|was able to reprogram the Clembot]], he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.

In Galar, Stadium battlefields are surrounded by a force field that protects the audience from Pokémon attacks, including the moves of [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon.

Gyms are inspected by the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], which can shut down Gyms which are not up to standard. The Agency can also determine whether unofficial Gyms are worthy of becoming official.

====Rules====
Most Gym battles are conducted as Single Battles, although some have been held as [[Double Battle]]s.

In most cases, Gym Leaders are not permitted to [[Recall|switch]] Pokémon while challengers are; although those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. Challengers are usually only allowed to use the same number of Pokémon as the Gym Leader, but some Gym battles—such as with [[Roxie]] and [[Grant]]—have exceptions. In a Gym battle, a Pokémon is determined to be unable to battle when declared as such by a [[battle judge]].

Gym Leaders appear to be able to impose their own rules, in addition to the standard set of rules for Gym battles. In particular, the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

=====Special rules=====
* For [[Mossdeep Gym]]'s {{badge|Mind}}, Ash battled [[Tate and Liza]] in a [[Double Battle]]. For [[Anistar Gym]]'s {{badge|Psychic}}, he battled [[Olympia]] in a Double Battle.
* [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis Gym]] has a unique two round system, with the first round being a Double Battle. Once the challenger wins the first round, they enter the second round, battling against three of his Pokémon in a Single Battle. Only the challenger is allowed to substitute, and can use five Pokémon.
* When Ash challenged [[Whitney]] of the [[Goldenrod Gym]] in Johto to a rematch, he fought three-on-one in his favor, with Whitney only using her {{p|Miltank}}.
* For the [[Striaton Gym]]'s {{badge|Trio}}, the challenger can choose which of the three Gym Leaders they want to battle. However, Ash challenged all three triplets, making the battle a best-two-out-of-three tournament, with Ash only earning a Badge after defeating at least two of the Gym Leaders.
* For the [[Nacrene Gym]]'s {{badge|Basic}}, both the challenger and the Gym Leader use the same number of Pokémon, with both being allowed to make substitutions.
* For the [[Mistralton Gym]]'s {{badge|Jet}}, the challenger and the Gym Leader used to engage in "Air Battles". In these, the Gym Leader first displays her three chosen Pokémon, followed with the challenger revealing their own three, then the Gym Leader decides the outcome of the battle using her own experience without even physically battling.
* For the [[Virbank Gym]]'s {{badge|Toxic}}, the battle was teams of three-on-six in Ash's favor, with only him being allowed to make substitutions.
* For the [[Cyllage Gym]]'s {{badge|Cliff}}, the Gym Leader uses only two Pokémon, while the challenger has access to all of theirs.

=====Puzzles=====
Some Gyms also require the challenger to undergo a trial or a test before they can battle the Gym Leader.

* The [[Fuchsia Gym]] in Kanto was set up like a ninja house and riddled with traps, which the Trainers had to make their way through before they were allowed to challenge the Gym Leader.
* The [[Cinnabar Gym]] (again in Kanto) was hidden, and required challengers to find it by solving the riddles given by the disguised Gym Leader, [[Blaine]].  Despite Ash technically being the challenger, it was [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] who ultimately solved all of the riddles.
* The [[Nacrene Gym]] in Unova could only be accessed if the Trainer picks the single right book in an entire library. To make it easier, [[Lenora]] even reaches up and rests her fingers on the book in question as a hint, though many of her potential opponents fail to take said hint (though Ash successfully figured it out).
* The [[Lumiose Gym]] in Kalos, when under the charge of the [[Clembot]], used to first require Trainers to have four Badges before they could challenge the Gym.

====Orange League====
In the anime, the [[Orange Islands]] contains its own league, the [[Orange League]] complete with its own Gyms:

The four Gym Leaders each have their own special requirements challengers must meet in order to gain their Gym Badges.
* For the {{badge|Coral Eye}}, the challenger and Gym Leader [[Cissy]] go head-to-head in three water-based physical challenges using their Water-type Pokémon.
* For the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, the challenger must complete two of Gym Leader [[Danny]]'s three challenges, though they were only qualified to do so if they could pass his pre-test, which was to climb  a mountain to the peak, where the Gym is located. These challenges are to freeze a geyser with their Pokémon's ice attack, build a bobsled (or toboggan) from said geyser with the help of three of their Pokémon, and compete in a bobsled race down the side of the mountain against Danny.
* For the {{badge|Spike Shell}}, Gym Leader [[Rudy]] assigns the challenger an attack challenge in which they must use their Pokémon to knock down all the targets on a tricky water course. If they pass this pre-test, they must defeat Rudy in a three-on-three battle, with Pokémon of the same type battling each other.
* For the {{badge|Jade Star}}, the challenger must battle Gym Leader [[Luana]] in a [[Double Battle]].

====Unofficial Gyms====
=====A.J.'s Gym=====
This Gym is run solely by the Trainer [[A.J.]], and is notable for its rigorous training methods. It is unknown what prize if any A.J. gave to any victorious challengers, because he left it to enter the [[Pokémon League]] after he defeated 100 challengers in a row using only his {{p|Sandshrew}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

=====Fighting Spirit Gym=====
This Gym was run by {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}}, who was training his {{p|Hitmonchan}} for the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. It did not appear to be used for actual [[Pokémon battle]]s. Instead, it had the appearance of a {{wp|gym}} used for training and exercising. This Gym appears in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

=====Kaz Gym=====
This Gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. It has Pokémon of various types, but its primary Pokémon is an {{p|Electabuzz}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' and is run by [[Kaz]].

=====Yas Gym=====
This Gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. The Gym Trainers specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon but the Gym Leader's Pokémon is a {{p|Scyther}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' and is run by [[Yas]].

=====Coastline Gym=====
This is an unofficial Gym that appeared in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''. It is located on the outskirts of [[Blackthorn City]]. Led by [[Dorian]], the Gym specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Unlike the other Water-type Gyms, Dorian holds his battles underwater.

Although the Gym is unofficial, Dorian is hoping that it will become more popular by word-of-mouth. In fact, after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Gym, they promised they would tell everyone at the [[Silver Conference]] about it. However, it hasn't been mentioned since then.

=====Anthony's Gym=====
{{OBP|Anthony|AG010}} (not to be confused with the Anthony mentioned above) ran an unofficial Gym purely for bragging rights. His powerful {{p|Pelipper}} and its peculiar move set, including {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}, were eventually revealed to be a well orchestrated hoax. Anthony admitted that Pelipper carried {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inside its mouth. As a result, Anthony decided to close the Gym and travel with Pelipper. This Gym appears in ''[[AG010|You Said a Mouthful!]]''.

=====Powerzone Gym=====
This is an unofficial Gym run by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]''. They used the Gym as a method of training and building strategies; however, they were on a losing streak until a [[Brock's Croagunk|wild Croagunk]] appeared and was used as Jessie's powerhouse.

=====Kantonian Gym=====
The [[Kantonian Gym]] from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} appeared in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]''. In the anime, it is run by [[Ryuki]], and is not themed after any Kanto Gym in particular, with its ninja theming being based on assumptions made on Kantonian culture. As a result, there are a few differences between the Kantonian Gym challenge and a typical Gym challenge in the anime. Unlike most Gyms, visitors must face the challenges of the four {{tc|Kantonian Gym|Kantonian Gym Trainers}} before advancing to the Leader. However, these challenges are not [[Pokémon battle]]s, like in the games, but a ninja-themed set of obstacles.

===Pokémon Origins===
All eight Kanto Gyms featured in the games {{game|Red and Green|s}} were shown in [[Pokémon Origins]], which primarily showcased {{OBP|Red|Origins}} challenging the [[Pewter Gym]] in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' and the [[Viridian Gym]] in ''[[PO01|File 3: Giovanni]]''.

Unlike the main series anime, the Gyms closely follow the system utilised in the games, where the challenger is able to use all Pokémon in their team against the [[Gym Leader]]. Gyms also have scoreboards featuring each Trainer's current Pokémon and their remaining [[HP]]. Gym Leaders may also hand out a [[TM]] along with their [[Badge]], and are shown to be capable of altering their Pokémon used in battle, with [[Brock]] choosing two out of six potential Pokémon, and [[Giovanni]] using a different set of Pokémon than those used against his battle with {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In early chapters of [[Pokémon Adventures]], Gym buildings were likely to be seen only when a character challenged the [[Gym Leader]], as the building would host their Gym battle. 

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{adv|Red}} challenged some [[Gym Leader]]s in their respective Gyms.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
Roxanne's Gym in [[Rustboro City]] appeared to be retractable, the building acting as both an examination hall and a battlefield.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The Gyms in this chapter incorporate the interior layout and obstacles directly from the games.

{{adv|Platinum}} challenged and defeated the [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]]in their respective [[Gym]]s, except she trained with [[Volkner]] and battled him outdoors, earning the {{Badge|Beacon}} without entering the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. The Sunyshore Gym itself was seen in ''[[PS404|Encountering Elekid]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Gyms in this chapter incorporate the interior layout and obstacles directly from the games.

{{adv|Black}} challenged the [[Unova]] Gym Leaders, visiting seven of the eight Gyms.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Only the [[Santalune Gym]] and [[Lumiose Gym]] appeared in this chapter. {{adv|X}} had an unofficial battle with [[Viola]] at her Gym and won.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
The Gyms with version-exclusive Gym Leaders are shown to take turns in switching between their two types and Leaders.

The eight Gyms of [[Galar]] appeared in this chapter, though {{Henry}} was only able to challenge six of them before the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] was put on hold due to the impending threat of the [[Darkest Day]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Hareta]] visited some of Sinnoh's Gyms in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], though he earned most of their Badges either outside of them or off-panel, and visited three of the Gyms only in a quick montage. The only Gym to receive major focus in the manga was the [[Canalave Gym]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Seven of the eight Kanto Gyms appeared in [[Pokémon Zensho]], six of which were visited by {{Zensho|Satoshi}}. Of the Gym Leaders whom he didn't meet at their respective Gyms, he battled [[Koga]] at the {{safari|Kanto}} and received [[Sabrina]]'s Badge after saving her {{p|Lapras}} from [[Team Rocket]].

==In the TCG==
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], all Gyms are {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, which provide a specific effect while they are in play.

===Official Gyms===
This listing is of cards based on official Gyms from the [[Pokémon games]] and often focus on the [[type]] speciality of a particular Gym.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Gyms. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「かてるまで　なんどもちょうせん　ポケモンジム」 ''"Until you win, battle again and again; that is a Pokémon Gym."''
** This is also the episode {{TRT}} set up a fake Gym, with [[Jessie]] acting as its Leader.
* In [[Generation I]], {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|fishing in statues|a glitch}} allows Trainers to [[fishing|fish]] in the statues at the front of the Gyms.
* As the [[Fighting Dojo]] in Kanto was once official, every region except [[Unova]] has had a {{type|Fighting}} Gym at one time.
** Despite the above fact, there has been a Fighting-type specialist in every region, either as a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member.
** A {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Olivine Lighthouse]] also says Jasmine used to specialize in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, meaning every region except [[Unova]] has had a {{type|Rock}} Gym at one time.
*** This excludes [[Alola]], which does not feature any official gyms
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, each Gym's frame is colored according to the type, except for the [[Viridian Gym]], which has no specialist type. The Viridian Gym's frame is green to reflect the Japanese name of its Gym Leader, {{ga|Blue}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[walking Pokémon]] are not allowed in the [[Blackthorn Gym]] and [[Viridian Gym]] because the flooring is unstable. Coincidentally, both Gyms are the last of the Gyms challenged in Johto and Kanto, respectively.
* Eight of the eleven Unova Gyms serve dual purposes, both as a place of battle and as a service: [[Striaton Gym]] is a restaurant, [[Nacrene Gym]] is a museum and library, [[Castelia Gym]] is a gallery showcasing the paintings of [[Gym Leader]] [[Burgh]], [[Nimbasa Gym]] is a set of roller coasters to go with the Ferris Wheel in [[Nimbasa City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}} or a fashion show catwalk in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Driftveil Gym]] is a mining operation, [[Mistralton Gym]] is an airplane hangar, [[Aspertia Gym]] is a school, and [[Virbank Gym]] is a music club.
** In Generations V and VI, Gyms do not take on a single appearance, with their look being customized to suit the Gym Leader's specialist type. Gyms previously only had unique designs in Generation II, where the roof colors differed between Gyms.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, every Gym has, with the exception of [[Aspertia Gym]], a unique remix of the usual Pokémon Gym theme music.
* Alola is the only region introduced in the core series to not feature any Gyms. A similar role is fulfilled by the [[island challenge]].
