According to Morty, teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the type they specialize in, such as swimming pools in a Water-type Gym or trees and flowering plants in a Grass-type Gym. Gym Leaders are also responsible for overseeing how their respective Gym is run and maintain it. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's Badge. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test Trainers and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to take the Pokémon League challenge.
