Dominant Type Steel
Region Naljo

Spurge Gym is the eighth and final gym in the Naljo region.

The first time the player reaches Spurge City, the gym can not be challenged because Leader Bruce is absent, and an NPC will be blocking the door. Once the player completes the Algernon Laboratories quest in Phlox Town, the gym may be challenged, provided that the player has a full team of six Pokémon.

Once the gym is defeated, the player is conferred the Naljo Badge and may challenge the Elite Four.

Gym challenge[]

Speaking to Bruce inside the gym results in the player dropping into the basement cave, with their party Pokémon taken away from them. Their Pokémon can be found inside poké balls in various places around inside the cave (in order of lowest to highest level). To progress, puzzles must be solved and trainers battled: the trainers inside the gym are some of the other gym leaders, with new, stronger teams.

There is a ladder at the south of the cave leading down to a room with a man and his Abra. Paying PokémonDollar400 will allow the player to be teleported to the start of the gym with their Pokémon returned, and they can try again later. If leaving and returning in this way, all trainers previously defeated will be battled again.

Dialogue
Pre-Battle Welcome, Trainer! Because of your bravery shown through my puzzle, I have decided to humbly accept your challenge at last! I am Bruce, the proud Steel Gym Leader of Naljo! The defense capabilities of steel Pokémon can never be matched! Are you ready?
Post-Defeat H...how? Well, no matter. You have earned my Badge, and the opportunity to compete in the Rijon League!
Post-Battle I suppose I could give you this too. This TM is Flash Cannon! It's a powerful Steel move that has a chance of lowering the foe's Special Defense a bit! Well, now it's time for us to make our exit. I bid you farewell.


On speaking again:
Now that you have the Naljo Badge, you will be able to compete in the Rijon League! To get there, go to Acania Docks and head east. You'll reach the Naljo Border, where you'll be able to enter the Seneca Caverns. From that point on, you'll have to rely on your own skill to navigate through it in order to reach the Rijon League. Stay strong!
