Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: Gardenia, Eterna City gym Guide
Her role as a grass-type specialist in Eterna City makes her the second gym leader in the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Our Gardenia gym leader guide will help you locate her party and surrounding counters by providing you with a list of her members and their whereabouts.
ETERNA CITY GYM CHALLENGE
Find and fight four trainers hiding in Gardenia’s forest maze before you can take on Gardenia. You can just make out the tops of the trainers’ hats if you look hard enough. Having found the first one, you’ll be given a suggestion as to where the second one is located. Gardenia will arrive in the gym’s back after you’ve defeated the other three.

GARDENIA GYM REWARDS
The HM Cut can be used outside of battle to cut down any trees in your path once you’ve defeated Gardenia. Also, she’ll offer you many copies of TM86, so you can teach your Pokémon the Grass Knot move, which causes more grass-type damage the heavier the opponent’s Pokemon are. Stickers for your Poké Balls are also included.
In addition, every Pokémon up to level 30 will follow your orders if you have Gardenia’s gym badge.
