Like all other Gyms in Paldea, the Cortondo Gym building itself is simply used for registering Gym challengers.

The player cannot use the Map, Pokédex, Camera, or any other D-Pad functions during the test. Pressing Y will instead ask the player if they want to quit the test. The player can save the game mid-test, but it will be reset (with the player, camera, and ball in their starting positions) after reloading the game.
After completing the Olive Roll once, it is temporarily unavailable until Katy is defeated. After defeating Katy, the Olive Roll can be repeated, although the layout will change to a more difficult one including ramps and vertical structures that can be fallen off of. It is not possible to repeat the original layout. The more difficult layout also tracks time and has the goal of completing it as quickly as possible; challengers can earn various picnic-related rewards depending on how much time was taken to finish. The target times are 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and 2.5 minutes.
During the Gym Test (the original layout), the field is surrounded by invisible walls and the player cannot jump or fall out of the area. However during the more difficult layout, the player is able to jump or fall out, which will reset everything to its starting position while a fade-out animation plays (costing the player time).

The Cortondo Gym appeared in PASV06. Upon arriving at Cortondo to challenge the Gym for a second time, Nemona was delighted to learn that was currently undergoing the local Gym Test, which she immediately went to watch. After Scarlet had completed the Olive Roll without battling any of the s, she was allowed to face Katy, who had noticed her using her 's sticky thread in order to help her in the Olive Roll, but she didn't mind.
Following a tie between both s' Tarountula, Scarlet proceeded to defeat Katy's with , purposefully leaving it out to bait Katy into stallizing her into a type, allowing her to then defeat it using her Tera Type , making Scarlet the winner. However, she refused to take the Gym Badge, saying she didn't need it. Unsurprised, Katy then offered her some of her pastries instead, with Nemona explaining that due to the popularity of Katy's , it was hard to get to order any of her pastries, so people often challenge her just to get to taste them. Having heard Scarlet's stomach rumbling earlier, Katy had assumed her being one of those people as well, though Scarlet, while admitting she was hungry, said that she was only after information regarding the treasures of ruin. Unfortunately, Katy wasn't able to tell her anything, so Scarlet left as soon as she had eaten her fill and received her prize money.
