The Pewter Gym has made multiple appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}, first being seen in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where {{Ash}} challenged it as his first Gym in order to earn his first [[Badge]]. However, his {{AP|Pikachu}} was at a severe disadvantage against [[Brock's Onix]], forcing Ash to eventually surrender, suffering his first loss since he started his {{pkmn|journey}}. After some {{pkmn|training}} with Pikachu, Ash challenged {{an|Brock}} to a [[rematch]], during which Pikachu accidentally set off the Gym's sprinkler system, allowing Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} moves to hurt Onix. However, Ash refused to deal the finishing blow and forfeited, saying that he didn't feel this way of winning would be fair. However, soon after, Brock caught up to Ash and gave him a {{badge|Boulder}}, insisting that earned it through his kindness to Pokémon. The two were then approached by {{ka|Flint}}, Brock's father and the previous Pewter Gym Leader. As Brock's true dream was to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and him having held the Gym Leader position only out of obligation to his family, he gave his Gym Leader position back to Flint in order to travel with Ash.

During Brock's travels with Ash, Brock's mother, [[Lola]], returned to the Gym and decided to redecorate and redesign it to match her preference of {{type|Water}} Pokémon, including adding a pool of water in the middle of the battlefield. When Brock returned to the Gym in ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', he was shocked to see the changes done to it and joined his younger brother Forrest in voicing his distaste towards them. Flint battled Lola to change the Gym back, but was defeated. He then suggested that the Gym could be converted into a dual-type one, but Brock rejected the idea and challenged his mother to a battle as well. Unlike Flint, Brock was able to defeat Lola, restoring the Gym to its roots as a sole Rock-type Gym. Brock then left his Onix, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} with Forrest at the Gym before heading to [[Hoenn]] to rejoin Ash.

The Pewter Gym is a stone building apparently set apart from the rest of [[Pewter City]]. When it first appeared, the Gym's name was visible at the front, but it's removed in its later appearances. In the Gym's debut appearance, Brock was shown waiting inside in the dark for challengers, sitting on a stone pedestal as he does in the {{pkmn|games}}. The battlefield, which consists of two halves that can be moved together during battles, is littered with jagged rocks and boulders, and a balcony along the edge above provides spectators a spot to watch Gym battles. Despite being a Rock-type Gym, the building has sprinklers for fire safety. During the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, the Gym was shown to have become notably cleaner than previously. In addition, the battlefield now has more pointed rocks, while the area around it is a blue shiny floor, possibly to reflect Lola's penchant for water. Brock's family lives in a large house located at the back of the Gym. The Gym also has a large storage room for Poké Balls, as seen during the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

====Pokémon used in Gym====

|desc=Brock used {{p|Sudowoodo}} in a battle against a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[DPS02]]. However, he was caught off guard when Chansey used {{m|Attract}}. Because of his {{status|infatuation}}, Chansey easily defeated him.}}

|desc={{p|Steelix}} was used by Brock for Gym battles as an {{p|Onix}}. It was later left for [[Forrest]] to use. Thanks to Brock's [[Key Stone]] and its {{DL|Mega Stone|Steelixite}}, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Steelix.}}

|desc=Flint's {{p|Golem}} first appeared in ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' where it battled against [[Lola]]'s {{p|Marill}} to win back the Pewter Gym from her. The type disadvantage and the problem that the battlefield was on water with only a few rocks sticking out gave Marill the advantage. Flint started with an {{m|Earthquake}} which made it hard for Marill to navigate, but was no match to Marill who used {{m|Surf}} making Golem sink and her {{p|Blastoise}} had to save it from drowning, {{an|Brock}} also had to help using a hair dryer to heat Golem up.

It was revealed that Golem used to be a {{p|Graveler}}; in a battle against Lola's {{p|Poliwag}}, the precision of her Poliwag's {{m|Hydro Pump}} made Flint fall in love with Lola. It was later seen with Blastoise, holding up the new sign made of rock which they broke.

|desc=[[Lola]]'s {{p|Marill}} was used against Flint's Golem in a battle for the title of Gym Leader. It was shaken up by Golem's {{m|Earthquake}}, but was able to use the waves of water to use {{m|Surf}} against it and win. It then helped Golem along with {{p|Blastoise}} to recover from drowning.

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'', {{TRT}} planned to capture Marill and the other Pokémon of Lola's but failed. In [[DPS02]], it, along with [[Brock's Sudowoodo]], takes the role of Brock's youngest siblings' playmate.

|desc=[[Lola]]'s {{p|Mantine}} was used against [[Brock's Onix]], in a battle to reclaim the Pewter Gym and allow it to still be a {{type|Rock}} gym, Onix drained the pool with {{m|Dig}} leaving Mantine stranded. It then flew in the air using {{m|Bubble Beam}} hurting Onix, but it used {{m|Bind}} and despite having a clear type advantage, Mantine ends up losing the battle.

|desc={{p|Rhyperior}} is currently the only known Pokémon of Forrest that he did not borrow from {{an|Brock}}. He used it in a battle against [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Latias}} that, if he had lost, would have caused the Pewter Gym to be shut down. Rhyperior did a lot of damage to Latias with its {{m|Megahorn}}, but Latias used {{m|Recover}} and then fired an {{m|Ice Beam}} at Rhyperior. Rhyperior continued to use Megahorn, but Latias used multiple {{m|Steel Wing}} attacks and an Ice Beam until Rhyperior finally fainted.

 

Rhyperior became {{status|frozen}} by Latias's Ice Beam but Brock was able to help it recover. Nurse Joy was impressed by Forrest's skill, and as a result the Pewter Gym was not closed.

===In Pokémon Origins===

[[File:Pewter Gym battlefield PO.png|left|thumb|250px|Pewter Gym interior in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]

The Pewter Gym appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', when {{OBP|Red|Origins}} went to challenge it on the suggestion of Brock, whom he didn't know being the Gym Leader until meeting him at the Gym. After battling [[Brock's Geodude]] with his {{TP|Red|Charmander}} for a while, Red was advised by Brock to use a Pokémon with a better {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|type matchup}}, prompting Red to switch to his {{p|Nidoran♂}}, whose super effective {{m|Double Kick}} was enough to defeat Geodude. Brock then switched to his Onix, which defeated Nidoran♂ with {{m|Bide}}, and then proceeded to defeat Red's {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Metapod}} as well, but not before the Metapod had managed to land a {{m|String Shot}} on the Rock Snake Pokémon. Red was then forced to switch back to his Charmander. Thanks to Metapod's String Shot, Charmander was able to outspeed Onix and defeat it with {{m|Scratch}}, winning the match for Red and earning him the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{TM|34|Bide}}.

=====Used by Brock=====

|desc=Brock owns six {{p|Geodude}}, nicknamed Geoone, Geotwo, Geothree, and so on. One of them appeared in ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'' watching the battles with his Trainer. The other five first appeared in ''[[PS064|Putting It On The Line...Against Arcanine]]''. They often grasp each others' wrists in order to circle around Brock to protect him. During the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, they used their {{m|Magnitude}} to stop the Magnet Train. However, the impact sent it off course, causing it to almost crash before it was saved by {{adv|Red}}'s Snorlax.}}
