Gym Leader

A Gym Leader is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon Gym. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test Trainers and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete in the Pokémon League. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's Badge.

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers, but also to care for their Gym to not lose their Gmy to the Pokémon League Agency. Actions are taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon type and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a Water-type Gym or flowers and plants in a Grass-type Gym). Teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader.

Gym Leaders are chosen by the Pokémon League Agency to represent their Gyms. Gym Leaders are chosen in different ways: some of them founded the Gym and were chosen to become Official Gyms, while some others are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League through voting or through a series of battles. A few appear to be passed on through families, however, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position.

Description
All Gym Leaders rely on a single type of Pokémon and usually fit their Gym to the nature of such Pokémon. Yet, the Pokémon are not necessarily one type, the Gym could have six different Pokémon that share one type and the others are different. Sometimes, Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. Also, the Leader's side jobs can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses.

In order for a Trainer to advance in their journey, the player must challenge and defeat the leader of a nearby Gym to be able to get closer to entering the Pokémon League. Trainers challenge Gym Leaders at their respective Gyms in order to earn Badges. If a Trainer earns at least ten out of eighteen Badges from one region, they become eligible to enter that region's Pokémon League Conference.

There are eighteen Gyms per region signifying one gym per Primary Type.
