- Brawly's Gym is pitch dark and the lit area grows each time you beat one of his trainers.
- Brawly uses Machop 16, Meditite 16 and Makuhita 19; Flying moves from Taillow or Wingull and Psychic moves from Ralts are your best answers.
- Winning earns TM08 Bulk Up and the Knuckle Badge, which lets you use Flash outside battle.
- A man in Dewford Hall gives you TM36 Sludge Bomb for free, and a fashion-conscious man in a house gives you a Silk Scarf.
