Pewter Gym appears in all games set in the Kanto region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a Japanese rock garden inside, oneRBYGSCFRLG or twoHGSSPE Trainers, and the Gym Leader, Brock, waiting at the back of the Gym, stading on plain floorRBYGSC or a large stone pedestalFRLGHGSSPE. In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, if the player tries to leave Pewter City to Route 3 before earning the Boulder Badge, a boy standing at the route entrance will lead them to the front of the Gym.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player must have a Grass- or Water-type Pokémon in their party in order to be allowed to challenge the Gym.

A field based on the Gym also appears in Pokémon Stadium's Gym Leader Castle and Stadium 2's Kanto Gym Leader Castle.

Pewter Gym interior in its debut

In the main series

The Pewter Gym was first seen in Showdown in Pewter City in the anime. It is a stone building apparently set apart from the rest of the city. Brock waits inside in the dark for challengers, sitting on a stone pedestal as he does in the games; however, unlike in the games, no other Trainers have been seen as part of the Gym aside from Brock's family. The battlefield 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, which Ash uses to gain an advantage against Onix.

The Gym is an important part of Brock's family, and Brock, his brothers and sisters, and his parents live in a large house behind the Gym. Brock's father, Flint, was the Gym Leader before Brock, and Brock inherited the Gym as part of his family responsibilities when his parents left. While Brock was a strong, respected Gym Leader, he did not like being one, and only did it as an obligation to his family. When Flint came back, Brock returned the title of Gym Leader to him, and left to travel with Ash and pursue his own dream of becoming a Pokémon Breeder.

When Brock's mother, Lola, returned, the Gym was turned into a combination Water-type and Rock-type Gym, and the battlefield was redecorated, including the addition of a pool in the middle. However, Brock returned in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together! and was shocked to see how his mother has changed. Both he and his younger brother Forrest take pride in the Gym's strong reputation as a Rock-type Gym. He battled his mother to restore the Gym to being only Rock-type again.

It was subject to a second remodeling attempt in Grating Spaces. At that time, a storage room was seen where the Gym keeps many Poké Balls, presumably containing different Rock-type Pokémon. In its subsequent appearances, the Gym's name has been removed from the entrance.

While traveling with Ash, Brock kept Pokémon he owns but does not currently have on his party at the Gym. He has had his Steelix, Geodude, Crobat, Forretress, Ludicolo and Marshtomp at the Gym. Flint's Golem is also kept at the Gym, and Lola keeps her many Water-type Pokémon there.

Pewter Gym was featured in SS025, in which the Gym was going to be closed down after Brock lost to Nurse Joy of the Pokémon Inspection Agency. After winning a battle against Forrest, Nurse Joy allowed the Gym to stay open, with Forrest as its official Gym Leader. The Gym is notably cleaner than in its previous appearance, with all paintings removed. In addition, the battlefield has more pointed rocks while the area around it is a blue shiny floor, possibly to reflect Lola's penchant for water. However, the Gym had a bad paint job and the Rock Pokémon nearly drowned in the pool, which per the Pokémon Inspection Agency's standards of cleanliness, safety, and coolness in Cerulean Blues, should have resulted in the Gym being shut down.

Flint's Golem
Golem
Flint's Golem first appeared in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together! where it battled against Lola's 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 Earthquake which made it hard for Marill to navigate, but was no match to Marill who used Surf making Golem sink and her Blastoise had to save it from drowning, Brock also had to help using a hair dryer to heat Golem up.

It was revealed that Golem used to be a Graveler; in a battle against Lola's Poliwag, the precision of her Poliwag's 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.

Golem appeared again in Grating Spaces! where it welcomed Brock home with Brock's Geodude, Steelix, and Crobat.

Golem's only known move is Earthquake.

In Grating Spaces!, Team Rocket planned to capture Marill and the other Pokémon of Lola's but failed. In SS025, it, along with Brock's Sudowoodo, takes the role of Brock's youngest siblings' playmate.

Marill's only known move is Surf.

Rhyperior
Rhyperior is currently the only known Pokémon of Forrest that he did not borrow from Brock. He used it in a battle against Nurse Joy's 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 Megahorn, but Latias used Recover and then fired an Ice Beam at Rhyperior. Rhyperior continued to use Megahorn, but Latias used multiple Steel Wing attacks and an Ice Beam until Rhyperior finally fainted.

Rhyperior became 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.

Rhyperior's known moves are Megahorn, Rock Wrecker, Horn Drill and Dig.

In Pokémon Origins

Pewter Gym interior in Pokémon Origins

The Pewter City Gym appeared in File 1: Red, when Red 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 Charmander for a while, Red was adviced by Brock to use a Pokémon with a better type matchup, prompting Red to switch to his Nidoran♂, whose super effective Double Kick was enough to defeat Geodude. Brock then switched to his Onix, which defeated Nidoran♂ with Bide, and then proceeded to defeat Red's Spearow, Rattata, and Metapod as well, but not before the Metapod had managed to land a 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 Scratch, winning the match for Red and earning him the Boulder Badge and TM34 (Bide).

Like all Gyms in Pokémon Origins, this Gym has scoreboards featuring each Trainer's current Pokémon and their remaining HP. The Gym's battlefield's design is based on that of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

Each challenger who wishes to battle Brock must first defeat several rounds of Gym Trainers. The outside of the Gym has the default design, but the inside consists of a boxing ring where the Trainers battle, a space for the crowd around it, and a room with windows where Brock can watch the battles.

Brock's Onix
Onix
Main article: Brock's Onix

Onix is arguably Brock's most powerful Pokémon and is apparently well known for its speed, which causes shock waves when it moves. Onix was first used in battle against Red's Pika. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small Electric type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the Tohjo Falls went out while Brock, Erika and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by Suicune. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of Zubat, Golbat and Crobat. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with Jasmine. It lost to Jasmine's Steelix, which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time.

Debut Onix Is On!
Brock's Geodude
Geodude (×6)
Main article: Brock's Geodude

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