Like the other {{type|Ice}} Gyms, the challenge here is a skating challenge. There are curved surfaces which curve the skating. Colored switches will redirect them. After the second Trainer, there is a ramp that can be jumped. After the fourth Trainer, another ramp is present. | Like the other {{type|Ice}} Gyms, the challenge here is a skating challenge.

Like in the games, the Gym is located underground, and is kept constantly cold. The battlefield is covered with ice, similar to a hockey rink, with large chunks of ice standing on it. The slippery conditions can offer a challenge of their own for unprepared challengers. | Like in the games, the Gym is located underground, and is kept constantly cold.

The Icirrus Gym appeared in ''[[PS503|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[PS504|The Cold Hard Truth]]'', and ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', during the time when {{adv|Black}} challenged the Gym. After making his way through the ice maze, he started his battle with Brycen. During the battle, Black asked Brycen about the talk about "truth" and "ideals" he and [[Drayden]] had had at the [[Tubeline Bridge]]. Brycen explained that as [[Team Plasma]] had stolen the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Dark Stone}} and were attempting to revive {{p|Zekrom}}, Black should take the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} to awaken {{p|Reshiram}} in order to fight Zekrom. After a while of thinking, Black agreed to this, saying that as [[N]] was also attempting to defeat [[Alder]], he was bound to face him at some point. | |||
Meanwhile, as the battle progressed, both sides were left with just one Pokémon: {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Beartic}}, respectively. Despite taking multiple hits from Beartic's {{type|Fighting}} moves, Tirtouga managed to hang on and [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Carracosta}}. After Beartic seemingly defeated Carracosta, Brycen handed the Light Stone to Black. After hearing that the Pokémon League tournament was going to be held despite of Team Plasma's actions, Black revealed that Carracosta hadn't been defeated after all, and used the opportunity to defeat Beartic, after which Brycen gave Black a {{badge|Freeze}} as a sign of his victory. | |||
In Pokémon Adventures, the Gym is preceeded by Brycen's home, which is filled with numerous items and posters from the time he used to be a movie star. | |||
