Like the other Ice-type Gyms, the challenge here is a skating challenge. There are curved surfaces which curve the skating. Colored switches will redirect them. After the second Trainer, there is a ramp that can be jumped. After the fourth Trainer, another ramp is present.
Although the Gym is no longer used in Black 2 and White 2, it can still be entered and traversed. Brycen does appear at the end of the icy paths where he will briefly talk to the player before leaving.

Items
In the anime
Icirrus Gym appeared in Caution: Icy Battle Conditions, where Ash challenged Brycen in a 3-on-3 Gym battle. At first, Ash, sent his Krokorok against Brycen's Vanillish, but when Krokorok was partly frozen by Vanillish's Blizzard and subsequently struck by a Mirror Shot, Ash switched to Scraggy instead. Although Scraggy's Focus Blast's aim was still poor, it managed to hit Vanillish with sheer luck, allowing Scraggy to finish off Vanillish with a Headbutt. Brycen then sent out Cryogonal, which knocked out Scraggy rather easily, at least due to Scraggy's Focus Blast constantly missing. Ash next sent out Pignite, who managed to defeat Cryogonal with a Fire Pledge. Brycen's last and strongest Pokémon, Beartic, however, proved to be too much for Pignite, defeating it with super effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks. Ash was left with just Krokorok, who was in a type disadvantage. Despite this however, Ash managed to come up with a winning strategy and defeat Beartic, earning him the Freeze Badge.
Like in the games, the Gym is located underground, and is kept constantly cold. The battlefield is covered with ice, similar to a hockey rink, with large chunks of ice standing on it. The slippery conditions can offer a challenge of their own for unprepared challengers.
Pokémon used in Gym

Beartic
|
| Brycen has a Beartic as his main Pokémon.
Beartic was used in a Gym Battle against Ash, as the third and final Pokémon used by him. It was able to easily defeat Pignite despite the type disadvantage with its super-effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just Krokorok. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with Stone Edge and Dig. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the Freeze Badge.
Beartic's known moves are Brine, Ice Punch, Icicle Crash and Aerial Ace.

Vanillish
|
| Vanillish was the first Pokémon Brycen used against Ash in their Gym battle. At first, Ash sent out Krokorok. However, after Krokorok had failed to land any hits on Vanillish and taken some damage, Ash recalled him and sent out Scraggy instead. Scraggy found it difficult to work properly on an icy field, and was at first unable to land any hits. He was, however, able to block Vanillish's Icicle Spear with his "pants" before firing a Focus Blast. By a stroke of luck, Focus Blast hit Vanillish from behind, and Scraggy was able to finish the Icy Snow Pokémon with a Headbutt.
Vanillish's known moves are Astonish, Icicle Spear, Blizzard and Mirror Shot.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
The Icirrus Gym appeared in Tooth and Claw, The Cold Hard Truth, and A Cold Reception, during the time when Black challenged the Gym. After making his way through the ice maze, he started his battle with Brycen. During the battle, Black asked Brycen about the talk about "truth" and "ideals" he and Drayden had had at the Tubeline Bridge. Brycen explained that as Team Plasma had stolen the Dark Stone and were attempting to revive Zekrom, Black should take the Light Stone to awaken Reshiram in order to fight Zekrom. After a while of thinking, Black agreed to this, saying that as N was also attempting to defeat Alder, he was bound to face him at some point.
Meanwhile, as the battle progressed, both sides were left with just one Pokémon: Tirtouga and Beartic, respectively. Despite taking multiple hits from Beartic's Fighting-type moves, Tirtouga managed to hang on and evolve into Carracosta. After Beartic seemingly defeated Carracosta, Brycen handed the Light Stone to Black. After hearing that the Pokémon League tournament was going to be held despite of Team Plasma's actions, Black revealed that Carracosta hadn't been defeated after all, and used the opportunity to defeat Beartic, after which Brycen gave Black a Freeze Badge as a sign of his victory.
In Pokémon Adventures, the Gym is preceeded by Brycen's home, which is filled with numerous items and posters from the time he used to be a movie star.
Trivia
- According to Black Belt Thomas, he is from the Fighting Dojo in Kanto.
- In Pokémon Black and White, there are three non-solid rocks in the Gym. It is possible to abuse this glitch to get to Brycen without battling Black Belt Thomas.
- When jumping at the ice slides, the player's shadow is still seen below his/her feet, even though the player is jumping over an abyss.
- In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the Icirrus Gym is the only Gym in the Pokémon games that cannot be accessed before entering the Hall of Fame, even though it cannot be challenged in those games.
- In these games, it is also the only Gym not to use a Gym music as the background theme (excluding the Fighting Dojo), instead using the Icirrus City theme music.
