Create gyms, assign a leader and team, and award badges to owners. Badges appear on owner profiles and help build rankings.
1) Overview
Go to Gyms & Badges → Gyms to manage gym records. Go to Gyms & Badges → Gym Badges to award badges.
- Gym Leader
- Team Size
- Badges Awarded
2) How it works
Gym teams
A gym can have a team of Pokemon. The system shows the Team Size automatically, based on the team list.
Why it matters: Team Size helps you keep gyms consistent (for example, always 6 Pokemon).
Badges
A badge links an Owner to a Gym, with a date awarded. Owners automatically show their badge count.
Tip: award badges right after a gym victory
3) Step-by-step guide
Create a gym
- Open Gyms & Badges → Gyms and click Create.
- Enter Gym Name and Region.
- Select the Leader (an Owner).
- Optional: select the Badge (if you pre‑create badge records), or leave it empty.
- Add the Pokemon Team (use tags selection).
- Save.
Award a badge
- Open Gyms & Badges → Gym Badges and click Create.
- Enter Badge Name (often matches the gym theme).
- Select the Gym.
- Select the Owner receiving the badge.
- Confirm the Date Awarded and save.
Tip: If your team uses badges for rankings, award them as part of the same process as recording the battle.

5) Field name explanation
Gym Name
The gym’s display name used in lists and when awarding badges.
Example: “Pewter Gym”.
Region
Helps distinguish gyms and supports simple grouping (especially when you have many gyms).
Example: “Kanto”.
Leader
The gym leader is an Owner. This helps you connect gyms to trainers and keep the world consistent.
Example: In the gym list, you can see which leader runs which gym.
Pokemon Team
A list of Pokemon used by the gym. Choose Pokemon that are currently active and correctly owned.
Example: Add 6 Pokemon for a full gym lineup.
Team Size
Automatically counts how many Pokemon are in the gym team.
Example: Team Size = 6.
Badge (on Gym)
Optional link to a badge record. Helps keep gym/badge naming consistent.
Example: “Boulder Badge”.
Badge Name
The badge label shown on the badge record and owner profile.
Example: “Cascade Badge”.
Gym (on Badge)
Which gym issued the badge.
Example: Pewter Gym.
Owner (on Badge)
The owner who earned the badge.
Example: “Ash”.
Date Awarded
Keeps badge history accurate and makes it easier to audit “who earned what when”.
Example: Back‑date if you are migrating older results.
Badge Count (on Owner)
This count updates automatically when you create badge records.
Example: Award a badge and the owner’s Badge Count increases.
6) Tips
- Keep a naming style: decide once (e.g., “Boulder Badge”, “Cascade Badge”) and reuse it consistently.
- Use Region to avoid confusion when multiple gyms share similar names.
- Keep teams current: update the gym team when Pokemon ownership changes through trades/sales.
7) Common mistakes
- Awarding the wrong badge: always double‑check Gym + Owner before saving.
- Leaving old teams: if a Pokemon gets traded or sold, gyms can become outdated unless you update them.
- Using badges without dates: dates matter for audits and history (use the default if unsure).
