Battlefield

The Nimbasa Gym (Japanese: ライモンジム Raimon Gym) is the official Gym of Nimbasa City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Elesa. Trainers who defeat her receive the Bolt Badge.

In the games

The Nimbasa Gym is designed like an amusement park, filled with brightly colored neon lights, floating stars and roller coasters. Upon entering the Gym, there is a huge open room, filled with transparent platforms. The roller coasters within the Gym are scattered around the room, all connected by platforms. The player must find their way around the Gym by walking into the roller coasters cars, in which they are then taken to the next platform. Within several of them, Trainers are hiding, and when the player opens the cars, the Trainer will engage the player in battle. Also, there are several switches around the Gym, which redirect the path of the roller coasters. However, many of these are also guarded by Trainers. The final roller coaster slightly differs from the others, featuring a large loop-the-loop, and partially speeds up after a slope before the loop-the-loop.

After navigating through the roller coasters, the player will meet Elesa. She stands on a transparent platform just like the other platforms, which has the Unova Gym logo on it. Behind her is a large circular spinning wheel, but it is just for show, and cannot be interacted with. Once the player has defeated Elesa, a short-cut to the exit of the Gym is available to the left of her.

In the anime

The Nimbasa Gym is similar to its look in the games, where it has a rollercoaster where challengers use to ride in to the gym. It was first seen in BW049, where Bianca battled Elesa. After a hard fought battle, she lost. Ash battled Elesa in BW050. He was almost disqualified by the battle judge, but in the end he won after a hard fought battle.

Trivia

• Nimbasa Gym is the only Gym where the Gym Leader's monetary reward is the lower than all of the other Pokémon Trainers present in the Gym. This is probably due to the fact that the Trainers are Rich Boys and Ladies, who give a higher payout than most other Trainer classes.
• Due to a glitch, if the player loses to Lady Colette while directly facing her when encountered, when the player comes back in she will be standing on the same spot and will battle the player. After she is defeated, she still remains on the tracks of the roller coaster, and can be passed through while riding the roller coaster to Elesa.
• All of the Trainers have only Emolga and Blitzle's evolutionary lines, despite Tynamo, Stunfisk, and Joltik's lines being in the Unova Pokédex.
