746 Shop is a Pokemon Go Gym

Calling all Pokémon Go Pros to "catch 'em all"... at our Pokémon Gym in the Kawarthas.

In the summer of 2021, we were excited to find out through word of mouth that our corner destination in Kawartha Lakes is not only a Pokémon Go location, but an entire gym!

Gym's are the battle arenas of the Pokémon world, where only level 5 players and above can enter. Only one team can takeover the gym and defend it against attack. When you bring your Pokémon there, AI takes over to play for and against you. You can choose which team to join out of three teams: Instinct (yellow), Mystic (blue), and Valor (red).

When you open the app at your first Pokémon Gym, Professor Willow will let you know how each of the teams differ. You just need to figure out what team your friends are on and who rules the gyms nearest to you. Bring your friends and family for an exciting day of Pokemon battling at 746 Shop, and take advantage of our food truck, ice cream window, and gift store while you're at it.

Good luck! May the best Pokémon Master conquer.
