Icirrus Gym appeared in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions]]'', where {{Ash}} challenged [[Brycen]] in a 3-on-3 Gym battle. At first, Ash, sent his {{AP|Krokorok}} against Brycen's {{p|Vanillish}}, but when Krokorok was partly {{status|freeze|frozen}} by Vanillish's {{m|Blizzard}} and subsequently struck by a {{m|Mirror Shot}}, Ash switched to {{AP|Scraggy}} instead. Although Scraggy's {{m|Focus Blast}}'s aim was still poor, it managed to hit Vanillish with sheer luck, allowing Scraggy to finish off Vanillish with a {{m|Headbutt}}. Brycen then sent out {{p|Cryogonal}}, which knocked out Scraggy rather easily, at least due to Scraggy's Focus Blast constantly missing. Ash next sent out {{AP|Pignite}}, who managed to defeat Cryogonal with a {{m|Fire Pledge}}. Brycen's last and strongest Pokémon, {{p|Beartic}}, however, proved to be too much for Pignite, defeating it with super effective {{m|Brine}} and {{m|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 {{badge|Freeze}}.
Icirrus Gym appeared in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions]]''. The Gym's arena is covered with ice and can be a bit tricky to move on, as Ash's Pokémon experienced in their battle. {{Ash}} challenged [[Brycen]] in a 3 on 3 match where Ash came out victorious earning himself the {{badge|Freeze}}.
 
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.

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.

Meanwhile, as the battle progressed, both sides were left with just one Pokémon: Costa the Tirtouga and Beartic, respectively.
