| ❝ | One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. | ❞ |
So you’ve decided to challenge the Gym? Well, one does not simply walk into Mordor and challenge the leader.
First, any potential challengers must either bring a gas mask or grab one from the friendly ranger near the entrance. These gas masks are mandatory while traversing the paths as the fumes that are constantly emitted in the entire area are dangerous and potentially lethal if inhaled in large amounts. If you refuse to wear the gas mask then the ranger will bar you from entering and undertaking the path due to safety reasons. Try to force the issue and you will be booted out. You have been warned.
Once you are ready, you may enter Mt. Halo and begin making your way into Mordor. In the path, you will face a variety of perils and pitfalls that depends on the nature of your fortune (meaning that these perils and pitfalls will be subjected to the RNG). Each challenger will face three of these perils or pitfalls, though some fortunate ones may face less. If they are successful in all three, then they will be lead to Mordor by a guide. Failure is denoted by all of your pokemon fainting before reaching the gym, failing a challenge, or quitting.
So what challenges might you find on the path to Mordor? They are listed below. These challenges are subject to change at any time but challengers will only face the ones that were listed in here as of the time of their challenge.
Good luck, challengers. Don’t break a leg.

- The Abyss – You are faced with a pitch-black cave which seems to suck in all of the light. You must journey inside and trust your other senses as sight will be entirely useless. Beware of those who lurk in the deep….
- The Hearts of the Mountain – There is a single path surrounded on both sides by massive cliffs that cannot be scaled. This path is guarded by two Numel, who you must either sneak past or defeat to progress further.
- The Imperial Marksmen – Attacks rain at you from sniper pokemon hidden in the rocks and crevasses of the area you have just entered. Escape without being overwhelmed by the assault.
- The Lady of the Lake – Two beautiful women are sitting at the edge of lake of lava, seemingly unaffected by the fumes. They are guarded by a Houndoom and a Honchkrow. They will each ask you a riddle. Get a riddle wrong and you will have to battle the woman’s pokemon but get it right and she will give you some cryptic advice before letting you go on.
- The Murder Mafia – A murder of Murkrows have appeared to start annoying and harassing you in the most obnoxious ways possible. Either fight them off, shake them off your tail, or distract them.
- The Wyld Hunt – A pack of masked Mightyena and Poochyena ambush you with the intent to chase you off the volcano. Either fight them off or shake them off your tail.
Good luck, challengers. Don’t break a leg.

Congratulations! You have successfully made your way into the reception area of the gym. A super-realistic hologram of Miguel Hidalgo will greet you there and point you towards the arena. Depending on the path you have taken, you will emerge from one of the three demonic faces to get to the arena.
The arena itself is enormous, being larger than a football field with a ceiling that is over 50 ft in height. This will allow flying types a lot of room to manoeuvre and even enable moves like Fly or Bounce to remain semi-invulnerable to most moves, though there are some moves that can bypass the invulnerability through use of the ceiling (think Rock Slide or Stone Edge).
It is a rough circular stone platform that stands around 40 ft above a pit of lava that always glows an eerie electric blue no matter the time of day. Said lava is also the only thing that provides light in the room, which may make it hard for one to see. However, you can remove your gas masks here because there are multiple powerful ventilation systems that suck up most of the noxious gases, rendering the air breathable and non-toxic. The room is colder than you would expect from a room with a pool of magma because of the ventilation systems, but it is still extremely hot inside.
While they cannot be seen, the arena is surrounded by a lot of shock absorbers that prevent vibrations from the arena from getting to the rest of the volcano. This means that the moves that couldn’t be used on the path (Bulldoze, Dig, Earthquake, Fissure) can be used here. However, a word of caution to those who wish to use Dig or Fissure – be very careful about how deep the resulting hole is because the magma might rise up to cover the entire arena if you’re not careful.
As for the rules themselves? They’re pretty simple. The challenger is allowed to choose the type of battle they wish to have.
3 v 3 – Single Battle
6 v 6 – Single Battle
4 v 4 – Double Battle
6 v 6 – Double Battle
In all types of battle available, the challenger is allowed to choose whether or not substitutions are allowed. If the challenger does not choose then the gym leader will say if substitutions are allowed or not.
Another thing to note is that all battle computations will use the Pokemon Showdown Calculator with the pokemon set to level 100, blank set.
