The Pewter Gym (Japanese: ニビジム Nibi Gym) is the official gym of Pewter City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. Known members include Camper Jerry, Camper Liam, Gym Leader Brock, Brock's father, Flint, and Brock's mother, Lola. Trainers who defeat Brock receive the Boulderbadge.
In the anime
The Pewter Gym was first seen in Pewter City Showdown in the anime. It is a somewhat small stone building, and Brock waits in the dark for challengers, sitting on a stone pedestal as he does in the games; however, unlike in the games, no other trainers have been seen as part of the gym besides Brock's family. The battlefield is littered with jagged rocks and boulders, and a balcony along the edge above provides spectators a spot to watch gym battles. Despite being a Rock-type gym, the building has sprinklers for fire safety, which Ash uses to gain an unfair advantage against Brock's Onix.
The gym is an important part of Brock's family, and Brock, his brothers and sisters, and his parents live in a large house nearby. Brock's father, Flint, was the Gym Leader before Brock, and when his parents left Brock inherited the gym as part of his family responsibilities. While Brock is a strong, respected Gym Leader, he does not like being Gym Leader, and only does such for family obligation. When Flint returns, Brock returns the title of Gym Leader to him, and leaves to travel with Ash and pursue his own dream of becoming a Pokémon breeder.
When Brock's mother Lola returns, the gym is turned into a combination Water-type and Rock-type gym, and the battlefield is redecorated, including the addition of a pool in the middle. However, Brock returns in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together and is shocked to see how his mother has changed. Both he and his younger brother Forest take pride in the gym's strong reputation as a Rock-type gym. He battles his mother to restore the gym to a Rock-type gym.
It is victim to a second remodeling attempt in Grating Spaces. In this episode, a storage room is seen where the gym keeps many Poké Balls, assumingly containing different Rock-type Pokémon.
In the games
Pewter Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with rocks inside, one trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, whenever the player tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead him to the front of the gym if he has not earned his Boulderbadge yet.
A field based on the gym also appears in Pokémon Stadium's Gym Leader Castle.
