The Veilstone Gym (Japanese: トバリジム Tobari Gym) is the official Gym of Veilstone City. It is based on Fighting-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Maylene. Trainers who defeat her receive the Cobble Badge.
The Veilstone Gym was the third Gym in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but in Pokémon Platinum, this was changed to the fourth Gym.
In the games
Veilstone City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Maylene
The Barefoot, Fighting Genius!
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
The Veilstone Gym is a dojo made up of several smaller rooms intersected with mobile walls. Trainers wait in the tiny cubicles. To get to Maylene, the walls must be shifted in and out of the cubicles so that the empty spaces in the walls line up with each other and a path is clear. Maylene's students are four Black Belt brothers who call themselves the "Karate Quads" and insist they fight "for LOVE!" "for COURAGE!" "for HOPE!" and "for TEARS!"
Pokémon Platinum
In Pokémon Platinum, the player must push around punching bags in order to knock over piles of tires that are blocking the path. The Karate Quads await the player in roped-off boxing arenas.
The plaques behind Maylene, from left to right, read:
- "A good deed for every day."
- "One day at a time"
- "Treasure every encounter, for it is unique."

Items
In the anime
The Veilstone Gym first appeared in Lost Leader Strategy!, where it was revealed that Paul had recently challenged Maylene and easily defeated her, shaking Maylene's confidence and making her consider giving up her job as a Gym Leader. Having recently lost two Contests in a row, Dawn sympathized with her, and, to everyone's surprise, decided to challenge Maylene herself in order to restore her self-confidence.
The battle between Dawn and Maylene occurred in Crossing the Battle Line!. Although Dawn gave it her best in her first-ever Gym battle, she ended up losing. Despite this, she was happy to see Maylene regaining her self-confidence as a result of the battle, and being ready to challenge Ash the next day.
In A Triple Fighting Chance!, Ash finally had his Gym battle with Maylene. During the battle, a part of the roof was blown off, allowing Ash's Buizel to utilize its Swift Swim Ability when it started to rain. Using this in combination with its newly learned Water Pulse, Buizel fought hard against Maylene's last Pokémon, Lucario, but in the end, the battle ended in a draw. Despite the tie, Maylene still chose to award Ash with the Cobble Badge.
