Will Pokémon Sword and Shield have gym battles?Best Answer: Yes, Pokémon Sword and Shield will be bringing back gyms and gym leaders, which were absent from Generation 7 with Pokémon Sun and Moon (and the sequels) since they introduced Trials and Trial Captains. With Pokémon Sword and Shield, we're going back to the good old Pokémon gyms that we know and love.

What do the gym battles in Pokémon Sword and Shield look like?
While we haven't seen what a full on gym battle in the new Gen 8 games looks like, we did get a quick glimpse.
From what we saw in the announcement, Pokémon gym battles in this game take place in large stadiums that are full of cheering people. These stadiums are similar to soccer fields, and we see a trainer, dressed up in a soccer uniform, entering the grassy field of the stadium.
How these gym battles play out though, we don't quite...
