Norman's Gym Leader room

The Petalburg Gym (Japanese: トウカジム Touka Gym) is the official Gym of Petalburg City. It is based on Normal-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Norman. Trainers who defeat him receive the Balance Badge.

In the games

Core series

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^RSORAS or Confusion Room^E. 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. Also, in Pokémon Emerald, Wally's father will then enter Norman's room and lead the player to Wally's house.

After the player enters the Hall of Fame, the Gym's guide disappears, and Norman appears at the first room of the Gym like he did earlier in the game. In Pokémon Emerald, Norman will return to the furthest room back if he is ready to rebattle the player.
