'''Circhester Stadium''' (Japanese: '''キルクススタジアム''' ''Circus Stadium'') is the official [[Gym|Stadium]] of [[Circhester]]. Its appearance, [[type]] speciality, and [[Gym Leader]] varies between the game the player is playing. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], the Gym specializes in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. During the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]], Gym Challengers battle the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gordie]] to earn the {{badge|Rock}}. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]], the Gym specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, and Challengers battle the Leader [[Melony]], Gordie's mother, to earn the {{badge|Ice}}.

==In the core series games==
Circhester Stadium is located in the back end of town, past the Hero's Bath. It is the site at which the sixth installment in the [[Galar]] [[region]]'s Gym Challenge takes place.

===Gym Challenge===
====Gym mission====
In both games, during the Gym mission, the {{player}} is given a pair of dowsing rods, called Trap Detectors, and tasked with navigating three mazes laden with hidden pitfalls. The dowsing rods will cause the player's choice of controller to rumble as they approach them, growing stronger the closer the player is to one; a visual indicator also appears on top of the rods to account for systems/settings that do not support rumble. If the player falls down a pit, they will return to the last solid platform they were on. This is further complicated in the final maze, where the player will need to navigate the maze while enduring a {{weather|sandstorm}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{weather|Hail|blizzard}}{{sup/8|Sh}} that significantly obscures the player's vision. This weather is used only to disorient the player and does not have an effect on {{pkmn|battle}}s in the Challenge. After completing each maze the remaining pitfalls will reveal themselves, making backtracking easier if the player needs to go back to retreat or challenge a Trainer they missed.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
Circhester Stadium debuted in ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]'', where [[Melony]] switched turns with her son [[Gordie]] in leading the Gym, with it being converted to match Gordie's {{t|Rock}} theme in the process.

In ''[[PASS21|Swaying!! Murky Memories]]'', {{Henry}} challenged and successfully defeated Melony at the Gym, despite his {{p|Mr. Rime}}, which he had received from Melony [[PASS20|shortly beforehand]], trying to attack its former Trainer directly during the match. After him, [[Hop]] also challenged Melony, while [[Marnie]] challenged Gordie. Both of these matches ended in the {{tc|Gym Challenger}}'s victory, allowing them to move on to [[Spikemuth]].
