Blackthorn Gym has changed a bit since GSC. You will now be using floating platforms which must be moved and turned to progress through to the end. On each platform will be a blue light which will turn the platform in a clock-wise rotation. On the left and right of the blue light are directional arrows which, when stepped on, will turn the platform in the respective direction.

For the first platform step on the right arrow, the blue orb, off the orb (avoiding the arrows), back onto the orb and finally onto the arrow now facing right. You should now be able to enter the next land mass.

Battle both trainers on this mass and head for the next platform. You can use the transporter to the right if you want to exit the gym to heal. On this next platform step on the arrow facing north, on the blue light, off it (avoiding arrows), onto it again, off it (avoiding arrows), and onto it again. The open portion of the platform should now be facing east. Step on the arrow to move the platform east and exit the southern part of the platform to enter the next land mass.

This mass has three trainers you can battle and another transporter, on the far right, to exit the gym to heal with. After defeating the trainers head north to the final platform.

Step on the right arrow once. Step on and off the blue light twice (avoiding arrows). The open part of the platform should be facing north. Step on the arrow to move the platform back to the east, once. Again, step on the blue orb to move the opening toward the west. Step on the arrow to move the platform north, do this three times. Step on the blue light, right arrow, blue light (the platform's opening should be facing westward) and finally on the north arrow twice. You can now exit the platform to face Clair.

Battling all trainers in this gym will yield 8,093 EXP and 11,100 PokéDollars.
