The Mauville Gym (Japanese: キンセツジム Kinsetsu Gym) is the official gym of Mauville City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Wattson. Trainers who defeat him receive the Dynamo Badge.
In the anime
The Mauville Gym has appeared in two episodes of the anime.
It first appeared in Watt's with Wattson?. Ash and his friends reached the gym, where the young Pokémon Trainer challenged Wattson for a gym battle. However, they were lost, as there were many traps, like falling into a whirlpool. After going through the traps, Ash challenged Wattson and won flawlessly, stunning the leader and making him question his abilities. He finally realized that Pikachu had been supercharged by one of Wattson's Raikou robots. After realizing what happened, Wattson told Ash to keep the badge and not to worry about challenging him again.
But when Ash and the others returned to Mauville in Manectric Charge, Ash decided to challenge Wattson again, this time with his newly-captured Torkoal. This time, Wattson defeated the Template:Type2 with his Manectric.
In addition to Wattson, the gym assistant Watt also makes his home at the gym. He appeared to be interested in May, and gave her advice on the Pokémon contest in Verdanturf Town.
In the games
The gym is filled with gadgets and traps that Wattson designed. Electrical barriers toggle on and off through the use of switches. Known members include Guitarist Kirk, Youngster Ben, Battle Girl Vivian, Guitarist Shawn, and Wattson.
