Pokémon Sword & Shield: 10 Predictions Based On Galar’s Map
2. Steel, Grass, Water, Poison And Rock Gyms
You might have noticed that both the boat and the Stonehenge monument are close to similar, oval structures like the one pictured above. These appear to be Galar’s gyms, and there’s five in total visible on the map.
In all likelihood, there will still be eight gyms, but the other three are probably nestled away in the larger cities, and therefore not immediately visible. The colour scheme and locations of the ones we can see lend themselves to speculation over their typing.
The blue one near the water is... well, figure it out, while the green one near Stonehenge is likely Grass.
The header image of a purple gym in what appears to be an enchanted forest is probably Poison. This location is in the trailer too, with colourful mushroom toadstools, so a Poison gym seems certain.
Near the Poison gym is a brown dome near some caves and tunnels. It’ll be Rock or Ground; not much more to say.
Finally, the most interesting is this grey gym up in the mountains. The setting suggests Ice but the colour suggests Steel, possibly inspired by Sheffield. Don’t bring your Dragons, basically.
