How to Beat the Sixth Gym Challenge

Circhester Gym Mission.jpg

Description & Instruction

Whether you have Gordie or Melony as the sixth Gym Leader in Circhester, the Gym Mission is the same.

You will go through a series of rooms. There will be boulders blocking your way, and Gym Trainers waiting to battle.

However, the catch is the map is surrounded by invisible pitfalls. When you fall, you will return to the last platform you stood on. You will be given a trap detector which radiates when a pitfall is in front of you. The waves get more intense when you get nearer a pitfall.
