Battlefield

The Rustboro Gym (Japanese: カナズミジム Kanazumi Gym) is the official Gym of Rustboro City. It is based on Rock-type Pokémon. It is one of the eight official Gyms that form part of the Hoenn League. The Gym Leader is Roxanne. Trainers who defeat her receive the Stone Badge.

In the games

Generation III

Rustboro City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Roxanne
The Rock-loving honors student!

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Rustboro Gym is a simple field full of rocky walls and a small amount of members. There are no significant puzzles in the Gym, although Trainers can walk behind the members of the Gym and skip directly to battling Roxanne if they wish to do so.

Generation VI

Rustboro City Pokémon Gym
Leader: Roxanne
The Rock-loving honor student!

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Gym is redesigned to look similar to a museum with fossils and other rocks on display. Much like in Generation III, the Gym is a maze where the Trainers lie in wait, with Roxanne waiting at the end. Once again, it is also possible to skip the other Trainers to facing Roxanne.

When defeated, Roxanne will give the player the Stone Badge as well as TM39 (Rock Tomb) as a reward.

In the anime

The only appearance of the Gym is in The Winner by a Nosepass. After meeting Roxanne as a teacher in the Pokémon Trainer's School, Ash asks her for a battle. The academy and the Gym are connected in many ways. Most of the matches are filmed, so the students can watch and study actual Gym battles to learn more about them. Also, a few students work in the Gym as interns to gain valuable experience as Trainers. Some of the jobs are to clean the battlefield, film the matches, and be the referees. The battle is an elimination match with each Trainer using two Pokémon. Only the challenger is allowed to substitute Pokémon.

When Ash challenged Roxanne, he used his Treecko and his Pikachu. Even though Treecko was a Grass-type, it was defeated by Roxanne's Geodude because it didn't know any Grass moves. Pikachu, however, defeated Geodude with an up close Thunder attack and defeated Nosepass with an Iron Tail.

Geodude was first seen in Gonna Rule The School!, when Roxanne used it to fight off Team Rocket. In the next episode, Geodude was the first Pokémon Roxanne used in her Gym battle with Ash. Geodude easily defeated Treecko with two Mega Punch attacks despite the type disadvantage and Ash's best efforts, since Treecko did not know any Grass-type moves at the time. Pikachu, however, managed to defeat Geodude with Thunder*.

Geodude's known moves are Mega Punch, Rock Throw, and Rollout.

The next Pokémon Roxanne used in her battle with Ash was her signature Pokémon, Nosepass. Since Pikachu had not much experience in using the move Iron Tail as he had only recently learned it, he was not able to use it effectively against Nosepass. It proved to be a tough opponent for Pikachu. Pikachu eventually managed to perfect his Iron Tail however and was able to defeat Nosepass with it, earning Ash the Stone Badge.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Rustboro Gym appeared in Blowing Past Nosepass I and Blowing Past Nosepass II. Sapphire entered the Gym, looking for a Gym battle, only to find out that the challengers must take a test testing their knowledge on different aspects of Pokémon battling, and cannot challenge the Gym Leader unless they pass. Roxanne will only fight one challenger per week.

Sapphire eventually passed the test with a perfect score, and was allowed to challenge Roxanne. At first, Roxanne's Nosepass had an advantage over Sapphire's Rono, due to its Magnet Pull preventing Rono from leaving the battle. Finally Sapphire figured out that since Nosepass can only face north, she could strike it from behind, allowing her to defeat Nosepass and earn the Stone Badge.
