Rewards

For defeating Byron, trainers receive the Mine Badge, TM91 (Flash Cannon), and the ability to use Strength outside of battle.

In the anime

In Dealing With Defensive Types!, Ash had his gym battle against Byron. Ash had the lead in the beginning, defeating Byron's Bronzor with his Chimchar after getting past Byron's defensive strategies. Byron then regained the advantage by easily knocking out Ash's Buizel with Steelix. Ash sent out Chimchar again and defeated Steelix with Flame Wheel after weakening it by caving in the ground with Dig. Byron finally sent out his Bastiodon and knocks Chimchar out with Metal Burst. Ash then sent out his last Pokémon, Gliscor. Bastiodon seemed to be winning in the beginning with repeated Flash Cannons and Iron Heads, but Gliscor managed to use Fire Fang on Bastiodon's back where it was weaker, defeating it and winning Ash his sixth badge in the Sinnoh region.

A moving platform in the gym

Canalave Gym debuted in VS. Bronzong I in Volume 33 of the Diamond & Pearl arc. Platinum unknowingly ran into the gym with Diamond and Pearl when she thought she heard her father's voice. They were whisked back and forth on the moving platforms until they arrived in front of Byron, who challenged Platinum to a battle.

Pokémon

These are the Pokémon Byron used in the gym.

Trivia

• Canalave Gym is similar to Olivine Gym because they are both Template:Type2 gyms and are the sixth gym of their respective regions.
  • The two gym leaders also both use a Steelix.
