What are Gyms?

In Soul Guardian, the creatures that you can capture can come in a variety of different types. These elemental attributes make up their strengths and weaknesses. Gyms are places in specific towns you can visit in order for you to battle a lot of trainers who are specializing on a specific type.

In order to challenge Gyms, you will need to play through the game’s main story, and keep continuing until you’re prompted in order to fight a gym. Part of the main quest requirements for Gym challenges is for you to fight a lot of trainers, until you reach the Gym Leader.
