A Gym Badge is a special award given to trainers in the Pokémon video game series. Trainers earn these badges by defeating Gym Leaders in battles. Each badge represents a specific skill level and accomplishment in the game, allowing players to progress further in their journey. In addition to serving as a symbol of achievement, Gym Badges often grant trainers access to new areas and abilities. For example, certain badges may allow players to use specific Pokémon moves outside of battle or challenge more powerful opponents. Collecting all the badges is essential for becoming the Pokémon Champion.
