Introduction
Welcome to the Gym Leader Castle. Here you will battle against the eight Pokémon Gyms, the Elite Four, and your Rival.
Basic Information
Each Gym of the Gym Leader Castle is set up with three apprentice trainers and the Gym Leader. At the start of each Gym, you will choose your team of six Pokémon, from prefabricated teams or from Rental Pokémon. In each round, you and the apprentice trainer each will choose three Pokémon to battle with. Each trainer must be defeated to progress to the next. After beating the Gym Leader, the next Gym will become unlocked.
