Fighting Dojo: Difference between revisions

The Fighting Dojo is a former Pokémon Gym located in Saffron City. In Generations I, II, and III, it remains open and hosts Trainers who specialize in Template:Type2 Pokémon. In Generation IV, the Gym Leaders of the Kanto and Johto regions convene here and may be challenged to a rematch.

The Dojo has also appeared in the anime.

In the games

Generation I

The Fighting Dojo was first seen in Pokémon Red and Blue, positioned to the left of the Saffron Gym. In these early games it was established that the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once battled against each other to determine which one would be the Indigo League's sixth Pokémon Gym. Due to the type advantage that the Template:Type2s that were trained at the Saffron Gym had over the Fighting-types used by the Dojo, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official gym.

Although no Badge can be won in the Dojo, the unofficial Gym is still open and accepting of challenges. Four Black Belt students test the player's abilities before he can challenge their master, the Karate Master. The reward for defeating him is a choice between Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. Both Pokémon are at level 30.

Unlike other Pokémon Gyms, the Fighting Dojo has a simple design which has not changed much over the generations. From its appearances in Generation I games to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Dojo has maintained a wooden floor with no mazes or puzzles to solve. Pure strength and battle strategy is needed to succeed in here.

Generation II

In Generation II, only one of the students is left and the Fighting Dojo is at that time, much like Safari Zone, temporarily closed down. The Karate Master, here named Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ Nobuhiko), can be found training in Johto's Mt. Mortar.

Generation III

FireRed and LeafGreen Versions pose the same challenge to players as the original Generation I games. The key differences (apart from the obvious aesthetic changes) are the name of the Karate Master, Koichi (Japanese: タケノリ Takenori) as opposed to Kiyo, and the level of the gift Pokémon, which are now level 25.

Generation IV

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto can be found here for a rematch, much like how the Sinnoh Gym Leaders can be found for a rematch in the Battleground in Platinum. However, unlike Platinum, the Leaders will not arrive at the Dojo until they have been called on for a rematch.

Specifically, each Leader's telephone number must be obtained when he or she is not in their Gym, after a specific set of conditions have been met. Only during a specific time of the day of the week will a Gym Leader be free to accept a rematch. Once the Gym Leader has done so, he or she will remain in the gym until he or she is defeated.

A Gym Leader can be battled at any time as long as he or she is still in the Fighting Dojo. However, the Leader can be recalled for a rematch only when he or she is free when the call is made. Also, there is no limit to the number of times a Gym Leader can be rebattled.

Gym Leader Rematch Schedule

For how to obtain the Gym Leaders' numbers, see Gym Leader phone listing.

The following table shows when the Gym Leaders are free to accept a rematch.

Note that 12am to 4am is considered night, so on Wednesdays, 12am to 4am, Chuck will accept a rematch instead of Morty.
