How, exactly does one become a Gym leader?
My goal is to become a Steel type leader......or maybe grass.....

Two questions:S
1. Do accuracy-lowering attacks like Sand Attack affect Pokemon with No Guard, or do they still have 100% accurate everything?
2. Will the Gym Leader ever change? (ie if I beat Athenodoros with 6 Water-typed FE's, do I become the new Water Gym Leader?)

and as far as my understanding of the leader system goes, the gym leaders will retain their leadership position even if they manage to lose under circumstances like that, they will only lose their position if they become inactive or if they consistantly lose fights that they shouldnt be losing
There is one exception to this: OHKO moves (ie, Fissure, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill and Guillotine) are not affected by No Guard - they have their usual accuracy and will miss in circumstances in which they would normally miss.
To my knowledge, the only way for a leader to lose their position is losing 3 of their first 5 battles, inactivity, or probably just being bad enough that the people in charge of gyms (Kaxtar, MK Ultra, Athenodors) kick the leader out. That's all unofficial, btw. (p.s., good luck taking my Steel gym leader spot :))
When will we be given a chance to get a badge?
No. It's a charge move, where the evasive action takes place at a priority of 1, & then the attacking part of the move happens on the same action, at a priority of -1.
Quick question:
I just bought a Magikarp. When it evolves, how many moves does it get upon evolution since it cannot learn any TMs, HMs, Tutor Moves, or anything else?
Or do I just save up MCs and any (unlikely) KOCs and teach moves then?
I am just overall confused about moves gained upon evolution...

It does learn Bounce through Tutor, & it can also learn Bubble & Reversal through Special Giveaways? (All of which, Magikarp can start with). Also, when it evolves, it gains any moves Gyarados can learn pre-Lv. 25 automatically, & nothing else.
Also, take note of this.

^ok, looks like I overlooked that. I have to add Bubble and Reversal to it's moveset then...
What's W/L/T stand for?
Win/Loss/Tie.
