Circhester Stadium

In both games, during the Gym mission, the player is given a pair of dowsing rods, called Trap Detectors, and tasked with navigating three mazes laden with hidden pitfalls. The dowsing rods will cause the player's choice of controller to rumble as they approach them, growing stronger the closer the player is to one; a visual indicator also appears on top of the rods to account for systems/settings that do not support rumble. If the player falls down a pit, they will return to the last solid platform they were on. This is further complicated in the final maze, where the player will need to navigate the maze while enduring a sandstorm^Sw/blizzard^Sh that significantly obscures the player's vision. This weather is used only to disorient the player and does not have an effect on battles in the Challenge. After completing each maze the remaining pitfalls will reveal themselves, making backtracking easier if the player needs to go back to retreat or challenge a Trainer they missed.

Gordie will Gigantamax his Coalossal at the first opportunity.

Circhester Stadium debuted in PASS15, where Melony switched turns with her son Gordie in leading the Gym, with it being converted to match Gordie's Rock theme in the process.

In PASS21, Henry challenged and successfully defeated Melony at the Gym. After him, Hop also challenged Melony, while Marnie challenged Gordie. Both of these matches ended in the Gym Challenger's victory, allowing them to move on to Spikemuth.
