Gen 8 Gym Types and Structure Speculation Thread

Milos's gym has a Green leaf logo in the circle, while Nessa's gym has a Blue Water drop logo in the circle.
The hi-res version of the map only shows circles and corresponding colors related to its type specialty.
The most interesting one is the gym on the forest because it has two colors: pink and violet. It may be the first dual-type gym.

According to that credible leak, that predicted Dynamax among other things:
It claims that the forest gym is only a Fairy gym, although it claims that it is the first gym of its type. Either the leaker forgot Valerie existed, or he messed up and that gym is actually Dark type.

Yeah that's a good point
I had forgot that they mentioned the gym being fairy type, and the blunder about it being the first fairy gym is easy to make in their defence they could have just forgotten about the other fairy gym

Eh, ragazzo!
Oh cool.
I'm actually familiar with the concept of goroawase, and being a numbers person, this is pretty neat.

If this is anything to go by, the types should be:
Grass, Water, Ground, Dark, and Fairy/Poison. The dual type theory isn't so crazy considering we've had more then one gym leader and type like in Unova and Hoenn.
The interesting thing is there are two more stadiums but they just have that red/blue emblem on it, one in the industrial city and the one at the very top of the city. I'm not sure what those could be in reference too or what they mean. I know it's a logo and a poke ball but idk what it could mean type wise. It looks sort of like this for reference:

In addition to the possibility of there being a Dark-themed Gym in Galar, I hope that there will also be a Poison Gym. The last time we had one was in Gen V, which was seven years ago. I'm just a fan of Poison-types in general, and I want a Poison-type Gym Leader who is some kind of shaman or medicine man.

it's confirmed the split logo gym in the mushroom forest has a split logo cos that gym is different depending on the version you're playing, Bea the fighting type is in Sword, and Allistor the Ghost type gym is in shield!

The official site shows the setting of Bea/Allister's Gym, and it definitely doesn't look like that mushroom-filled forest.
The people speculating that mushroom-forest Gym may be dual-typed might've been onto something, though: maybe it's another version-exclusive Gym (like Fairy for Sword and Poison for Shield).

Huh, interesting. Version-exclusive gyms is not something that occurred to me. I don't think we've seen anything like this since Drayden & Iris from Gen V.

ahh good point it might be the Diglett area gym not the mushroom area it definitely looks more like that town especially with the path leading up to the big gear thing next to that gym.

That's definitely the brown gym in the rocky area to the left of the big tower. It matches exactly, with the water around it and everything.

Yup, looks right to me too. They definitely threw us a curveball there, since it seemed like everyone (myself included) expected that one to be Ground (maaaybe Rock or Steel).

there's also info on the gym challenge and what is called the champion cup, you do the gym challenge to get into the champion cup is the basic gist of it. which will probably just be the E4 i assume.
I can't link it for some reason but it's on the official site for any that want to look into it a bit more

It seems a lot like the anime Leagues:
Once a year in the Galar region, a series of Pokémon battles are held with the League Championship on the line.
This is the Champion Cup! The Champion Cup is the tournament to decide who will be able to challenge the reigning Champion for their seat. Exemplary Trainers throughout the region, such as those who successfully complete the Gym Challenge, are allowed to participate in the Champion Cup tournament.
It sounds like you'll have to face Hop at some point in this Cup (unless he drops out/doesn't get all 8 Badges?)

So since there's only six stadiums clearly visible on the map.....
...what if there's only 5 Gyms + Elite4/Champion? I know people like to think that the Victorian and Medieval looking cities, but the bits that maaaaaaaaaaybe, perhaaaaaps, poooooosibly could be gyms don't feature any of the elements the other stadiums have (no logo, no "spikes", no room for spectators...)

Well looks like the Elite 4 are no more? Looks like we will be having a legit tournament to determine who gets to challenge Leon. Would be great if they use your friends who have won in their games as some of the participants. That'd be really neat.

It's a little weird that most Gyms have that very specific stadium style while a few others might not, but the official site does mention 8 Gyms/Badges: The Gym Challenge is a true celebration of Pokémon battling! Participating Trainers strive to collect all eight Gym Badges, and only Pokémon Trainers who have been endorsed by specific people, such as Gym Leaders, can join in. You and your rival Hop will receive your letters of endorsement from Champion Leon himself, kicking off your journey to challenge the Gyms of the region!
