In the anime

Dewford Gym first appeared in Brave the Wave. Brock, May and Max are woken up by Ash so that he can battle Brawly. However when they reach the Gym they find Brawly at surfing practice. He tells them he will battle Ash later.

When Brawly finally does begin the battle, Ash is thoroughly annoyed. The battle is a two Pokémon each, no time limit rule battle. Ash sends out Taillow which is defeated by Brawly's Machop. Treecko then defeats the Machop, before in turn being beaten by Brawly's Makuhita which evolves into Hariyama during the battle. Ash is disheartened by this defeat, but Brawly encourages him to go on.

Dewford Gym in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire

Dewford Gym makes its only appearance in The Haunted Gym where a Sableye helps Red navigate through the Gym since it was too dark for him to see.

Trivia

  • In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the wall behind the right-hand statue behaves like a statue: when the A button is pressed while facing it, it says: "DEWFORD TOWN POKéMON GYM". This was fixed in Pokémon Emerald.
  • While the number of Gym Trainers doubles in Emerald, the total number of Pokémon only increases by one.
  • The system of this Gym is similar to that of Morty's Gym in Pokémon Gold and Silver versions and their remakes.
  • It is possible to entirely skip this gym, you just go through the cave without using flash(which is possible) and deliver the letter. then take the ship to slateport. you will need to beat the the gym however to challenge the elite 4.
