    Concept » Gym Leaders appears in 16 issues.

    They are the high ranking Pokemon Trainers that can be challenged by other trainers who can win badges

    Short summary describing this concept.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    The main job of a Gym Leader is to test trainers and their Pokemon to see if they are ready to challenge the Elite Four. When a trainer defeats a Gym Leader they earn a Badge; winning 8 Badges allows for a trainer to compete in a regional tournament. Contrary to what people believe, Frontier Brains are not Gym Leaders.
