Even though Pokemon Gyms continue to not be a thing in The Alola Region, one so-called Pokemon Gym has opened up in Malie City. This Gym can be battled once a day and is based upon the Vermillion City Gym back in the Kanto Region. The layout is just like what you would see in Lt. Surge's Gym; however, there is no electric maze puzzle to solve. Instead, all a player must do is simply defeat all the trainers found throughout, finishing with the Gym Leader. Some days, Ryuki will even appear and act as another trainer you must defeat.
In order to battle the Gym, you will actually have to pay $1,000 each and every time.On top of a free Fresh Water you obtain every time you challenge the Gym, you will receive a Surge Badge after the first time you defeat the Gym. After defeating the Pokemon League, all of the Pokemon the trainers have will have increased leveling.
