🏅NPC Gym Leaders
NPC Gym Leaders are progression battles found throughout Lumiose.
Each leader has their own team, theme and place in the Gym Leader order. Defeating them moves you forward through the server's PvE progression.
Dynamax Adventures unlock after beating the final Gym Leader.
How Gym Leader Progression Works
Gym Leaders are meant to be challenged in order.
If a leader refuses to battle you, it usually means you need to defeat an earlier Gym Leader first. Check their dialogue for more information.

Rematches

Rematches require all Lumiose Gym Leaders to be defeated first.
