Leaders: Liza & Tate
The mystic combination!

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Gym's floor is covered with tiles similar to spin tiles 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 reach Tate and Liza when all the switches are pulled. A warp tile next to them warps the player back to the entrance.

In Pokémon Emerald, the Gym is similar to Saffron Gym in that it is a series of rooms connected by warp tiles. Each room contains Trainers and obstacles on spin tiles 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 spin tiles, the player is unaffected by them. At least one of the Gym Trainers must be battled in order to reach Tate and Liza.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Gym is entirely redesigned. Platforms are connected by strings of energy orbs that automatically direct the player between them. The player must inspect stones on the various platforms to change which orbs are lit up, and thus which paths they can take through the Gym.

When defeated, Tate and Liza will give the player the Mind Badge as well as TM04 (Calm Mind) as a reward.

Mossdeep Gym's battlefield in the anime

The Mossdeep Gym first appeared in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!, where Ash and his friends arrived there for Ash's Gym battle, only to learn that everyone at the Gym had left to witness a space shuttle launch at the Mossdeep Space Center.

In Solid as a Solrock, Ash challenged Tate and Liza to a Gym battle at the Gym, using his Pikachu and Swellow against Solrock and Lunatone. Although they were powerful opponents, Tate and Liza ended up inadvertently sabotaging each other and subsequently had an argument, giving Ash a chance for a counterattack. However, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket bursting through the Gym's roof with their newest robot to steal Solrock and Lunatone. Although Team Rocket was soon defeated and the stolen Pokémon were recovered, the Gym was so badly damaged by their attack that Ash's Gym battle had to continue outdoors. With the battle against Team Rocket having restored Tate and Liza's teamwork, Ash had trouble overcoming their strategies, but he eventually came up with a strategy of his own and ultimately defeated his opponents, earning him the Mind Badge.

The Gym's battlefield has multiple planet-like objects floating around in the air, making it three-dimensional. The battles are refereed by Tate and Liza's mother, Rachel.
