A Pokémon Gym (Japanese: ジム Gym) is a place where Pokémon trainers go to train their Pokémon. Just like real life gymnasiums, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where trainers can go to sharpen their battling skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain experience. Often specializing in a particular elemental 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, whom the lower-ranking members of a Gym look up to greatly.

Official Gyms

Gyms that are certified by the Pokémon League are vital to a trainer's Pokémon journey. Leagues are designed so that conventional trainers must travel far and wide before entering a League Competition, as the only way to enter one is by gaining at least eight official Gym Badges, and there can only be one official Gym per city.

List of Gyms

There are eight known official Gyms in each region. In the anime, Gary Oak reveals that he has more than eight Badges, hinting that there are more Gyms than players are given access to in the games. Specifically, he has at least ten badges excluding the Earth Badge. Before the Indigo League competition, Ash encounters Otoshi in EP073, “Bad to the Bone”; he owns eight badges, but only shares four in common with Ash; later in the episode another trainer appears with eight other completely different badges. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi and this other trainer display 27 different types of badges prior to competing in the Indigo Plateau Conference, so there must be at least this number of official gyms in Kanto at the time.

When Sakura is on her journey collecting badges, she collects badges from both Kanto and Johto, so it is unclear what the rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship, Morrison is shown to have an eighth badge different from Ash’s, suggesting that there are at least 9 official gyms in Hoenn.

Pewter City's Gym is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. Known members include Camper Jerry, Camper Liam, Gym Leader Brock, Brock's father, Flint, and Brock's mother, Lola. Trainers who defeat Brock receive the Boulderbadge. In the anime, it's a somewhat small stone building, and Brock's family lives in the house outside. The battlefield is littered with jagged rocks and boulders. After Brock's mother returns, the gym is turned into a Water/Rock gym, and a pool is installed in the middle, but it is reverted to a Rock gym again upon Brock's second return. In the TCG, the Pewter City Gym is a large, stone battlefield surrounded by rock formations that encircle it.

A.J.'s Gym

This gym is run solely by the trainer A.J., and is notable for its rigorous training methods.
