Guide

For once you’re simply allowed to Poké around town and enter the gym, a nice change after being a bit of an errand monkey for the last few towns. Head north for a while and you’ll soon see the gym set into the left hand wall with ice effigy’s around it.

During Winter, enter the south-most house for a rare RageCandyBar.

Before you challenge the gym, and especially if you’re in need of extra experience, it might be worthwhile taking a detour to Route 8 and the Moor of Icirrus, by exiting the city towards the east. Or you can go there later (you’ll eventually need to pass through Route 8 anyway); it’s up to you.

Arguably the most understated gym leader in all of Unova, this ice cave is one of the trickiest to navigate, so we can only assume the leader couldn’t work out how to leave and give you a task.

Need to Train?

The Moor of Icirrus to the north-east of town or Twist Mountain are your best bets to help sculpt your team’s muscles. If you need a Pokémon to beat the gym, find a Fighting type at Twist Mountain and train it against Twist Mountain’s Rock types.

Need Help?

Ice Pokémon are weak to a huge variety of techniques, Fire for one,

Grab the Fresh Water as always. Just like the inside of the Cold Storage building this gym is all about sliding on ice. Walk straight forward, ride the ice, then move right when you stop, fight the trainer here.

Trainer Battle 1

After pressing the next switch, you need to go back and reuse the previous curve once more.

Slide down then right onto the solid ground. Follow this concrete round then slide left, where the arrow on the path indicates, and ride the curve. From here slide up to hit the switch. Like before, this rotates the angled slide.

Next, slide up, left, and then down into the curve again. Follow the path left to tackle the next trainer.

Gym Leader Brycen

You've probably gathered what type Brycen uses. Fire, Fighting, Rock and Steel Pokemon will have no problems.

Ice Pokémon are fantastically weak to a couple of different types of attacks: Fire, Fighting, Rock and Steel.

This makes the gym fairly easy, however you can’t breeze through it on account of the final Pokémon here being a monster.

Beartic is a high Level and has defense to spare, show it no quarter and slam it with super effective attacks, dipping into your pool of Hyper Potions if necessary, you should be ok.

What is in the Moor of Icirrus?

The Moor of Icirrus has many puddles that can be walked on, which freeze in winter and become slippery, making navigation harder. It has been destroyed by fire in the past, and many Pokémon were damaged, including Keldeo. Many Pokémon Rangers are in the moor likely to prevent such a fire from reoccurring.
