Gyms

Every region has an established league, 8 gym leaders and 5 elites. As seen in Origins, gyms can be challenged in any order. Each gym leader uses a different team depending on how many badges you already have in that region.

Each gym leader or elite always uses a squad of 6. Enough with the easy battles, these guys should be though to beat, and you need a full team to compete with them.

Gyms can be accessed from anywhere. Every gym has its own domain, and every route is placed inside one of these domains, so you always have access to a corresponding gym. One of the 9 domains is the final league though.

The region view (accessible through the Zoom button) shows where you are (white square), the routes you've already visited (colored squares) and the ones you've yet to visit (black squares). Color of colored squares is a hint to the corresponding gym's type.
