Battlefield

The Ecruteak Gym (Japanese: エンジュジム Enju Gym) is the official Gym of Ecruteak City. It is based on Ghost-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Morty. Trainers who defeat him receive the Fog Badge.

In the games

Generation II

In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Ecruteak Gym has an invisible floor which can cause many problems for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. The body of Morty's Gym is a dark pit. If a challenger steps in the wrong place, they will be sent back to the beginning of the path and begin again. Trainers appear to float over it, standing on an invisible floor. Some Trainers are scared away by the ghosts within the Gym. A challenger able to navigate along the invisible floor can safely reach Morty and challenge him.

Generation IV

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Ecruteak Gym has changed slightly. Flames light up some dim patches within the Gym. While there is still one path to Morty, sections are lit up, revealing Trainers that must be battled in order to reach the Gym Leader.

In the anime

Ecruteak Gym has been in a few episodes of the anime. Unlike the games, the Gym does not have an invisible floor that challengers can fall through.

Ash battled Morty in the Gym in From Ghost to Ghost. Using his Noctowl's ability to use Foresight and other Psychic-type attacks, Ash successfully defeated Morty and earned his Fog Badge.

The Gym also appeared in For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!. Eusine, an expert on legendary Pokémon, was in Ecruteak learning about the Tin Tower. After Team Rocket stole the bells in the tower, Ash and his friends met up with Morty to find out what was going on. When a swarm of Bug-type Pokémon began covering the tower in String Shot, everybody took cover in the Gym. It was also where Eusine challenged Ash to a battle, claiming the young Trainer was lying about seeing both Suicune and Ho-Oh.

Trivia

• All of the Trainers in the Gym, Gym Leader included, use the Gastly evolutionary lines despite Misdreavus being available in Johto.
