Between the entrance and Gym Leader [[Norman]] are a series of rooms, each containing a Trainer. In order to access these rooms, all of the first four Badges must be obtained first; otherwise, the doors will be locked. The Trainers have special methods of battling, as displayed on the doors leading to their rooms. They include the One-Hit KO Room, Accuracy Room, Attack Room, Defense Room, Speed Room, Recovery Room and either Zero Reduction Room{{sup/3|RS}} or Confusion Room{{sup/3|E}}. Once three rooms in a row are completed, they can access the Gym Leader Room with Norman. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, all seven Trainers in their respective rooms use items in the battle, whereas in {{game|Emerald}}, the strategy of these Trainers is dependent on the moves of their Pokémon.

The Petalburg Gym has appeared in multiple episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
The Petalburg Gym first appeared in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{an|May}} reached the Gym, with Ash intending to battle Norman and win his first Badge. However, when Norman learned that Ash only had {{AP|Pikachu}} with him, he declined the Gym battle. He did agree to an unofficial battle, which the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} lost.
 
The Gym's next major appearance came in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', when Ash and {{ashfr}} returned to Petalburg City. In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power!]]'', Ash had his official Gym battle against Norman. This time, with the help of his {{AP|Grovyle}} and {{AP|Torkoal}}, Ash defeated the Gym Leader and earned the {{Badge|Balance}}.
 
In addition to housing the battlefield, the Gym is also home to Norman, his family, and the Gym assistant {{ho|Kenny}}. A greenhouse is also on the Gym's property. The various {{type|Normal}} Pokémon at the Gym make their home in the greenhouse when they're not battling. May also left her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}} at the Gym before heading out to [[Kanto]].
 
It is [[Max]]'s dream to one day succeed his father as Gym Leader, and he approaches this goal through the knowledge of Pokémon battle strategy tactics.

|desc={{p|Vigoroth}} was first seen in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' after Norman agreed to have an unofficial battle with {{Ash}} due to his lack of having less than three Pokémon.

It reappeared in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', when May, Max, Brock and Kenny saw it hanging from a brunch at a place where Norman keeps his Pokémon. It then hugged Max. Team Rocket also planned to steal it for Giovanni, along with Slakoth and Slaking. When Ash arrived at the forest, Vigoroth fell onto Ash. Ash was happy to see Vigoroth again.
 
Vigoroth was seen again in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', in Ash and Norman's official Gym battle, where it was the second Pokémon used by the Gym Leader. It at first managed to easily dodge {{AP|Torkoal}}'s {{m|Overheat}}, and knocked out Torkoal with {{m|Scratch}}. After this, it had an intense battle with Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}. Norman ordered Vigoroth to use Scratch, but was surprised when Ash told Pikachu to take the hit. Vigoroth's Scratch attack hit home, but the powerful Pokémon was suddenly paralyzed by Pikachu's {{a|Static}} Ability. Seizing the opportunity, Pikachu attacked with {{m|Iron Tail}}, knocking Vigoroth out. However, Pikachu wasted all of his energy, and was also knocked out in the process.

==Trivia==
* The Petalburg Gym is similar to the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}} [[Viridian Gym]] as being the first Gym the player can reach, but cannot be challenged until the player has collected a certain amount of Badges.
** Also, both cities housing the said Gyms (Petalburg City and [[Viridian City]]) are followed by a route ({{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|2|Kanto}}) split into sections by the regional forest ([[Petalburg Woods]] and [[Viridian Forest]]) and leading to the city ([[Rustboro City]] and [[Pewter City]]) with the first Gym the player can challenge ([[Rustboro Gym]] and [[Pewter Gym]]).
* Due to the structure of the Gym, the Petalburg Gym is the only Gym in {{game|Emerald}} where the player cannot face a pair of Trainers in a [[Double Battle]].

Petalburg City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Norman

A man in pursuit of power!

Between the entrance and Gym Leader Norman are a series of rooms, each containing a Trainer. In order to access these rooms, all of the first four Badges must be obtained first; otherwise, the doors will be locked. The Trainers have special methods of battling, as displayed on the doors leading to their rooms. They include the One-Hit KO Room, Accuracy Room, Attack Room, Defense Room, Speed Room, Recovery Room and either Zero Reduction RoomRSORAS or Confusion RoomE. Once three rooms in a row are completed, they can access the Gym Leader Room with Norman. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all seven Trainers in their respective rooms use items in the battle, whereas in Pokémon Emerald, the strategy of these Trainers is dependent on the moves of their Pokémon.

When defeated, Norman will give the player the Balance Badge as well as TM42 (Facade)RSE or TM67 (Retaliate)ORAS as a reward.

In the anime

The Petalburg Gym first appeared in There's no Place Like Hoenn, where Ash and May reached the Gym, with Ash intending to battle Norman and win his first Badge. However, when Norman learned that Ash only had Pikachu with him, he declined the Gym battle. He did agree to an unofficial battle, which the young Trainer lost.

The Gym's next major appearance came in Love, Petalburg Style, when Ash and his friends returned to Petalburg City. In Balance of Power!, Ash had his official Gym battle against Norman. This time, with the help of his Grovyle and Torkoal, Ash defeated the Gym Leader and earned the Balance Badge.

In addition to housing the battlefield, the Gym is also home to Norman, his family, and the Gym assistant Kenny. A greenhouse is also on the Gym's property. The various Normal-type Pokémon at the Gym make their home in the greenhouse when they're not battling. May also left her Beautifly and Skitty at the Gym before heading out to Kanto.

It is Max's dream to one day succeed his father as Gym Leader, and he approaches this goal through the knowledge of Pokémon battle strategy tactics.
