The Viridian Gym (Japanese: トキワジム Tokiwa Gym) is the official gym of Viridian City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Giovanni, the head of Team Rocket. Trainers who defeat him receive the Earthbadge.

Other known leaders of the Gym are Blue and Elite Four Agatha, who serves as a temporary Gym Leader.

In the games

Viridian Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region. In Generation I, when the player makes their first encounter with the gym, it is locked because of the absence of the Gym Leader. With this acknowledged, the player journeys off onto other Gyms to challenge. Once accomplished and when the player has collected the remaining seven Gym Badges, the Viridian Gym reopens, becoming the final gym in the Kanto region to challenge.

Inside the Gym, the floor uses the same transporting tiles as in the Rocket Hideout. The player must use these tiles to navigate through the Gym to reach the Gym Leader. Though, in Generation II, when Blue takes the place of the Gym Leader, the Gym is complete remodeled, where the tiles have disappeared. The Gym has no members and has large blocks, looking similar to the popular building toys, Legos, stacked and placed on the perimeter of the Gym.
