From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The Dewford Gym (Japanese: ムロジム Muro Gym) is the official gym of Dewford Town. It is based on Fighting-type Pokémon. It is one of the eight official gyms that form part of the Hoenn League. The Gym Leader is Brawly. Trainers who defeat him receive the Knuckle Badge.
In the anime
Dewford Gym first appeared in Brave the Wave. Brock, May and Max are woken up by Ash so that he can battle Brawly. However when they reach the gym they find Brawly at surfing practice. He tells them he will battle Ash later.
When Brawly finally does begin the battle, Ash is thoroughly annoyed. The battle is a two Pokémon each, no time limit rule battle. Ash sends out Taillow which is defeated by Brawly's Machop. Ash's Treecko then defeats the Machop, before in turn being beaten by Brawly's Makuhita which evolves into Hariyama during the battle. Ash is disheartened by this defeat, but Brawly encourages him to go on.
In the games
The Dewford Gym is in the Generation III games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.It is the second one to be reached during the game. The Gym is a pitch-black maze. As trainers are defeated, the Gym lights up. Pokémon trained in the Gym are all Fighting-types, however, there are some with secondary types.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Games, Ruby and Sapphire, talking to the wall behind the statue on the right, it says: "DEWFORD POKéMON GYM, BRAWLY'S CERTIFIED TRAINERS: ". After the Gym is Beaten, it says: "DEWFORD POKéMON GYM, BRAWLY'S CERTIFIED TRAINERS: (NAME) ". This is an accidental trick.
