Gym Leaders Battles
In the Kanto Region, there are 12 gym leaders. Only 8 badges are needed to compete in the Indigo League. Each of the gym leaders are optional and can be challenged at different levels. Below you will see the breakdown of each Gym Leader as they appear in the Kanto Region. There are a lot of ways you can go about introducing gym leaders and running gym battles. A few are detailed below, for others, check out the Pokemon5E subreddit: r/Pokemon5e. The format for this campaign focuses on 1v1 battles. To Earn a Gym Badge players must battle at the level of the highest Pokemon in their part or higher. Players must also battle at least 2 Gym Pokemon in a single battle.
All Gym leaders only utilize Pokemon from the Kanto Region and evolutions that may appear in later generations. Each gym leader has a set of optional perks to increase the difficulty to the DM's choosing. These perks include Terrain Bonus, Lair Action/Legendary Action, and Gym Leader Held Items. Likewise, their Pokemon can know a maximum of 6 moves. All gym leaders dificulty starts at Level 2; however, the difficulty increases at Levels 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15.
Before each battle, the player may choose how many Pokemon he or she battles against. Then, depending on the number of Gym Pokemon available to battle at that level, the player will either roll a d4 or d6 for the number of Pokemon he or she wants to battle. So, if the player wants to battle 3 of Brock's Pokemon at Lvl 1, the player would roll 3 d4. If the player rolls a 1, 3, and 4, the player would then battle against Brock's Geodude, Omanyte, and Kabuto. Even if the player wants to battle all of the Gym Leader's Pokemon, they must still roll the required dice to see the order in which they appear.
Other Gym Battle Types
"Excitement Factor"
adapted from u/bunnylover726
Gym leaders have Pokemon at a set level. Encouraged players to use oPkemon close in level to the gym leader.
- Lore: There is a Pokemon Battle TV station (imagine ESPN for pokemon battles) that televises exciting gym battles. If a player participated in an exciting (close) battle with a gym leader, it could appear on TV and they would earn some of the ad revenue or a useful prize package from the gym leader.
- Example: If a player goes into a water gym and uses Pokemon close in level to the gym leader's and doesn't wipe the floor with the leader's Pokemon using grass types, etc. then the battle has a chance of going on TV and making extra money for the trainer. If the battle is a landslide in either direction, then it is considered "not exciting enough".
- Notes: Some players will choose Pokemon so that they would have close and exciting battles and possibly earn some extra money/loot. Others may decide that they don't want to risk losing and choose higher leveled or type-matched Pokemon to ensure that they win.
- Excitement Factor: Group battles, moves that alter the weather, Pokemon that evolve during the battle, high level or rare Pokemon, etc. can all drive up the "excitement factor" of a battle. "Excitement factor" is decided by the DM.
Double Battle
adapted from u/HappyMyconid
The DM creates an NPC that battles alongside the trainer against the Gym Leader.
- Gym leaders are part of an elite group that can register for an upgraded trainer license that allows them to legally wield more than one Pokemon in combat.
- The NPC will have 2-3 Pokemon that are common in the area.
Qualification Battles
adapted from Antiochus_Sidetes
The player must register a maximum of 6 Pokemon and then fight 1-3 qualification battles depending on the gym.
- In each qualifying battle, they can only use 2-3 Pokemon from the 6 they registered.
- Players can see what Pokemon their opponents will be using in order to choose which Pokemon to use in battle.
- Once the qualification battles have been successfully completed. The player then may battle the gym leader.
Scaling Pokemon
When creating the Pokemon for each Gym Leader's Dungeon, the Pokemon should be scaled to the trainer's level and the appropriate challenge rating. You wouldn't have a Level 1 Trainer fight a Gym Leader that has all Level 20 Pokemon, right? Here are some things to consider:
Considerations
When creating a Gym Trainer or Gym Leader encounter, use the PC's level as your starting reference. If the PC is a level 5 trainer, consider:
- the SR Level they can catch,
- the Pokemon that appear at that SR and below,
- what changes Pokemon take on each time they level up.
When in doubt follow the D&D Encounter Building Guide.
Moves
Make sure to check each Pokemon's move list for the moves that it can know. Then select a combination of attack, defensive, and status changing moves.
Reward Table
Certain rooms in each Gym will provide a reward upon successfully beating a gym trainer or solving the rooms puzzle. When completed, have the trainer(s) roll on the table below for their reward.
| d20 | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | ₽50 x Trainer Lvl |

Saffron City Psychic Gym Contents
The inside of the Saffron City Psychic Gym resembles that of an industrial series of independent rooms without doors. Including the Entrance Chamber, the gym has 20 different rooms connected by 24 different warp tiles. Several rooms have psychic mist pouring into them, including the Gym Leader's Room. Below are the details for each room, the warp tiles, and the psychic mist.
The first room is made of metal and concrete with two statues (one of Alakazam and the other of Hypno) off to either side. The Gym Guide is standing to the left of the right statue. Upon entering the Saffron City Psychic Gym, the Gym Guide will welcome the adventurer(s) to the Gym and have them roll on the environmental effects table. Once they’ve rolled on the Environmental Effect Table, read the following to your players. “Welcome to the Saffron City Psychic Gym! It seems that the gym’s climate right now is (insert environmental effect). Currently, Sabrina is waiting for her next challenger. She specializes in Psychic Pokemon that are often used to perform illusions or mind controlling powers. To begin the Gym Leader's Challenge, step on the warp tile ahead of you.” Roll on this table to see what effect will take place on the islands. Likewise, this table determines which Gym Leader the trainer will battle at the end of the Gym Challenge. There are 25 connecting warp tiles (24 Numbered Tiles and 1 One-Way Tile from the Gym Leader's Room). Likewise, there is a DM Map and a Challenger Map. The DM Map includes the numberings of each warp tile whereas the Challenger Map does not. A DC 25 Perception Check would allow the challengers to see the DM Map - essentially allowing them to perceive where all of the warp tiles lead. Within each room, the challengers can make a DC 13 Perception Check to see which rooms those warp tiles room lead to. WT = Warp Tile Rooms B, D, G, K, N, P, R, & T have psychic mist pumping into them from the pipes in those rooms. Based on the challengers roll on the Environmental Effects Table, any time that the challengers enter one of these rooms, they must make a DC 12 CON Save, then be immediately attacked by the Gym Trainer in that room. In Room T, since this is the Gym Leader's Room, they must do the same. Sabrina will immediately attack after this roll. See Psychic Mist Details on PG 17. See Psychic Mist Details on PG 17.Room A

AJ's Gym
Since AJ's Gym is a newly created gym in the Pokemon League, it is not as set up or as complicated as other gyms. It is a simple battlefield with stone and dry grass. A number of rock spires dot the battlefield. As the challengers walk up the stone steps, they will be greeted by one of AJ's gym trainers. Unlike other gyms, these gym trainers do not battle, rather they train AJ's Pokemon when AJ is not available. Around the battlefield stand a number of tents ranging in size. These are AJ's training tents. When not in the field, AJ and his gym trainers will train the Pokemon in these tents.
Upon reaching the top of the stairs, a gym trainer will welcome the challenger(s) to the Gym and have them roll on the environmental effects table. Once they’ve rolled on the Environmental Effects Table, read the following to your players. “Welcome to AJ's Gym! It seems that the battlefield’s climate right now is (insert environmental effect). AJ specializes in Pokemon that can be found in dry, rocky regions that are near wooded areas. If you follow the path forwards you accept the Gym Leader’s challenge to battle them in the arena.” Roll on this table to see what effect will take place. AJ will always battle with at least his Sandshrew. The table below holds all of the Pokemon that trainer's may encounter in the gym. Likewise, these are Pokemon that the Gym Trainer's and Gym Leaders will hold in their party during battles. The DM can choose from this list when building those encounters.Entrance & Gym Guide
