Roxie in the anime

Roxie made her debut in BW085 and was Ash's final Gym Leader he faced after he heard the Opelucid Gym was closed. She's the lead vocalist and bass player of her band "The Koffing" and she exudes confidence. Unlike other Gym Leaders, she pits her three Pokémon against her opponent's entire team, stating that if her opponent beats her team, she gives them the Toxic Badge.

In the anime

175x175px Koffing Koffing is Roxie's first-used Pokémon in her battle against Ash; Roxie comments that she caught it while traveling through Kanto. It was quite powerful, defeating Ash's Boldore and Unfezant, but ultimately fell in battle to Ash's Leavanny.

Scolipede Scolipede easily defeated Ash's Leavanny in battle, but was knocked unconscious by Ash's Pignite.

Garbodor Garbodor, like Koffing, was very powerful and managed to defeat Ash's Pignite and Palpitoad. However, it was knocked out by Ash's Pikachu.
