[[File:Visquez.png|thumb|250px|Visquez, the substitute Gym Leader of Vermilion City]]
The Indigo League is notable in the {{pkmn|anime}} for being the only one among all the regional Leagues to have undergone changes in its line-up of Gym Leaders during the course of the anime.
* The [[Pewter Gym]] has changed its Leader several times throughout the anime:
** In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', {{an|Brock}} left the [[Pewter Gym]] to be led by his father, {{ka|Flint}}, in order to {{ashfr|travel}} with {{Ash}}.
** Sometime prior to ''[[HS05|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', Brock's mother [[Lola]] returned to the Gym and started redecorating it to fit her like of {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Flint had been so dismayed by these changes that he had left the Gym, making Lola the new Pewter Gym Leader until Brock defeated her.
** In [[DPS02]], it was revealed that the paperwork to make Brock's eldest brother [[Forrest]] the new Pewter City Gym Leader had not been carried out properly, so the Gym was in danger of being closed down. However, by the end of the episode, a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] made Forrest's position official, making him the current Gym Leader of Pewter City.
* [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] share {{an|Misty|their sister}}'s status as [[Cerulean City]] Gym Leaders, and can take over it in her absence, and vice versa.
* In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', [[Visquez]] was revealed to serve as the substitute Gym Leader of the [[Vermilion Gym]] while [[Lt. Surge]] is away {{pkmn|training}}.
* At some point before ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', {{an|Giovanni}} abdicated his status as the [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader, so [[Agatha]] of the Indigo [[Elite Four]] was appointed as a temporary Leader to watch over the Gym until a new permanent Leader could arrive.

If you were looking for the first season of the Pokémon anime, Pokémon: Indigo League, see S01.

The Indigo League (Japanese: セキエイリーグ Sekiei League) is the regional Pokémon League of the Kanto region. It consists of a network of eight Gyms and the Elite Four. Depending on the context, the Indigo League can also be called the Kanto League or simply the Pokémon League.

Pokémon Trainers who earn eight Gym Badges from sanctioned Indigo League Gyms qualify to participate in Indigo League competitions, one of which is the Indigo Plateau Conference.
