Battlefield

The Olivine Gym (Japanese: アサギジム Asagi Gym) is the official Gym of Olivine City. It is based on Steel-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Jasmine. Trainers who defeat her receive the Mineral Badge.

In the games

Generation II

Olivine City
Pokémon Gym
Leader: Jasmine
The Steel-Clad Defense Girl

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Gym is completely free from any Gym Trainers or puzzles, allowing the player to go straight to Jasmine immediately after delivering the SecretPotion to her at the Glitter Lighthouse.

The Olivine Gym resembles the Pewter Gym, being designed after a Japanese rock garden. Jasmine stands on a stone platform at the back of the Gym.

A field based on the Gym also appears in Pokémon Stadium 2's Johto Gym Leader Castle.

Generation IV

Olivine City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Jasmine
The Steel-Clad Defense Girl

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Gym has changed, more clearly reflecting its Steel-type theme. There are now two Gym Trainers, Gentleman Preston and Lass Connie, but they won't battle the player. Instead, they simply express their gratitude of the player for helping the sick Ampharos at the Glitter Lighthouse, thus serving no problem for reaching Jasmine.

After the player has earned all 16 Badges, they can return to the Gym, where Jasmine offers to trade them a Steelix in exchange for any Pokémon they offer.

The Gym's interior design has been notably changed, now being a metallic building with steel arcs built over the path to the Gym Leader. Jasmine is standing on a low, covered steel platform at the end of the Gym.

In the anime

Olivine Gym has made two appearances in the anime. It first appeared in Fight for the Light!. After a long journey, Ash and his friends had finally reached Olivine, and Ash was eager for a Gym battle. When he entered the Gym, a girl claiming to be Jasmine challenged him to a battle. After losing to her Onix, Ash learned that the girl wasn't Jasmine, but rather her apprentice, Janina. She apologized for misleading Ash, and the Trainer forgave her.

It was revealed that Jasmine herself wasn't in the mood for a battle, because Sparkle, the Ampharos who provided the light for the Olivine Lighthouse, had gotten very sick. The only way to treat it was with medicine found in Cianwood City. As a result, Ash and the others accompanied Janina to Cianwood to pick up the medicine.

After his adventures in the Whirl Islands, Ash returned to Olivine to battle Jasmine again in Nerves of Steelix!. She accepted his challenge, with Janina serving as the referee. After Pikachu defeated her Magnemite, Jasmine sent out her Steelix, which quickly defeated the Electric-type. However, Cyndaquil managed to defeat the Iron Snake Pokémon, earning Ash his Mineral Badge.

Pokémon used in Gym

Magnemite

Debut	Fight for the Light!
Voice actors
Japanese
English	Eric Stuart

Jasmine's Magnemite was seen for the first time in Fight for the Light!, riding on Jasmine's shoulder throughout the whole episode. It was also the first Pokémon that Jasmine used in her Gym battle with Ash in Nerves of Steelix!, sending it against Ash's Pikachu. Despite proving itself very fast and pretty strong, it was finally knocked out by Pikachu's Quick Attack.

Magnemite's only known move is Thunder Wave.

Steelix

Debut	Nerves of Steelix!

Japanese	Unshō Ishizuka

Main article: Jasmine's Steelix

Steelix is Jasmine's main Pokémon. It was seen for the first time in Nerves of Steelix!, when Jasmine used it to stop Team Rocket's Wobbuffet mecha and send them blasting off.

Trivia

• The Olivine Gym is one of three Gyms in the games thus far not to have any Trainers but the Leader. The others are Generation II's Viridian Gym and Cinnabar Gym.
  • In the Generation IV remakes, the Gym contains Gentleman Preston and Lass Connie, who were battled by the player at the Glitter Lighthouse, though neither Trainer challenges the player in the Gym. Strangely, neither Trainer uses Steel-type Pokémon when battled at the Glitter Lighthouse. The remakes also add Trainers to Viridian Gym and Cinnabar Gym, leaving Olivine Gym the only Gym to never have any other Trainers battled in it except for the Gym Leader.
• The Olivine Gym's design in Generation II could be a reference to the fact that Jasmine used to train Rock-type Pokémon sometime in the past.
