Question: will pokemon sword and shield have gyms?
Answer: Best Answer: Yes, Pokémon Sword and Shield will be bringing back gyms and gym leaders, which were absent from Generation 7 with Pokémon Sun and Moon (and the sequels) since they introduced Trials and Trial Captains. With Pokémon Sword and Shield, we're going back to the good old Pokémon gyms that we know and love.
