Before the Gym battle, Roxie is seen in Virbank City outside of the Pokémon Center, arguing with her father about him becoming a movie star. He defends his wishes by commenting that Roxie balances her duties as the Virbank Gym Leader, and as a member of her rock band. He leaves, and Roxie gets angry and heads for the Gym, which the {{player}} can directly challenge.

After the Gym battle, Roxie can be seen near the port with Hugh and several of the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. After the battle that follows, she gives the player {{HM|01|Cut}} and then heads back to the Gym.

Roxie later makes a brief appearance after the player competes in the PWT for the first time, expressing an interest in competing in it (causing Clay to remark that word of the competition is spreading). Roxie does indeed compete in it later, along with most other Gym Leaders. During summer, she also visits [[Cynthia]] at Caitlin's villa in [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders.

Roxie is brimming with confidence. She is determined to prove her strength against all challengers, with the [[Virbank Gym]]'s unique rules giving the challenger the opportunity to use up to six Pokémon against Roxie's three. Her usual battle strategy is to {{status|poison}} her opponent's Pokémon before dealing damage with some heavy-hitting attacks.

Roxie was first mentioned by {{adv|Yuko}} in ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]'', where she debuted in ''[[PS533|New Sword Player]]''. After attending one of her concerts, {{adv|Blake}} asked Roxie to be a judge at the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] [[Autumn Choir Tournament]], which she happily accepted. In ''[[PS534|Choir Tournament]]'', after Blake's team won the competition, Roxie had [[Pop Roxie|her father]] take the winning team and their class to [[Castelia City]] to compete in the Unova Choir Tournament.
 
In ''[[PS535|Angry Boy]]'', shortly after arriving at their destination, Roxie encountered an injured member of the executive committee for the Unova Choir Tournament. When the man revealed his {{p|Karrablast}} was stolen by [[Team Plasma]], Roxie, Blake, {{adv|Whitley}}, and [[Hugh]] headed to the [[Castelia Sewers]] to find the culprits. Soon after entering the area, everyone was attacked by a group of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. Roxie and Whitley were separated from the others, but they managed to defeat the Grunts, forcing them to retreat.
 
In ''[[PS538|Therian Forme III]]'', Roxie and Whitley left the sewers to meet with the others at Prime Pier. Whitley stayed behind while Roxie went ahead to return the executive committee member's Karrablast. Hugh appeared and revealed to everyone that a student was a member of Team Plasma, forcing Whitley to come out of hiding and reveal herself. Finding her behavior suspicious, Roxie and the class began to suspect Whitley, but were put to sleep by her [[Foongy]]'s spores.
 
In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', {{adv|Cheren}} woke up to find he, Roxie, and the class were taken to the [[Marine Tube]]. There, they encountered [[Benga]], a Trainers' School student that was suspended on the first day of school for picking a fight with his classmates. Benga and [[Marlon]] took everyone to safety after Castelia was frozen over by Team Plasma's flying ship, the [[Plasma Frigate]]. When asked to join Benga and Marlon launch a counterattack against the villains, Roxie and Cheren agreed.
 
In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Roxie attended the Trainers' School graduation ceremony.

Roxie appeared in [[ANL2]] where she punched two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s away. Seeing the incident, Roxie wasn't convinced that [[Arata]] could take care of any Pokémon. Roxie decided to settle their score with a Pokémon battle, with Arata using the Pokémon he was able to protect from Team Plasma. During the middle of the battle, [[Bianca]] recognized Roxie as a singer and Trainer from [[Virbank City]]. Roxie confirmed her talents to Arata and doesn't sense the heart in him to become a Pokémon Trainer. After Arata protected {{p|Oshawott}} from a falling light pole, Oshawott was able to defeat Roxie. She then promised to Arata that she will battle him seriously next time and told him that she was the Gym Leader in the [[Virbank Gym]].

Roxie (Japanese: ホミカ Homika) is a musician who is the Gym Leader of Virbank City's Gym, known officially as the Virbank Gym. She specializes in Poison-type Pokémon. She gives the Toxic Badge to Trainers who defeat her.

In the core series games

Roxie appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 as a Gym Leader. She is a musician who plays the bass guitar. Her Gym is a music club. Trainers who defeat Roxie will receive the Toxic Badge, along with TM09 (Venoshock).

Before the Gym battle, Roxie is seen in Virbank City outside of the Pokémon Center, arguing with her father about him becoming a movie star. He defends his wishes by commenting that Roxie balances her duties as the Virbank Gym Leader, and as a member of her rock band. He leaves, and Roxie gets angry and heads for the Gym, which the player can directly challenge.

After the Gym battle, Roxie can be seen near the port with Hugh and several of the Team Plasma Grunts. After the battle that follows, she gives the player HM01 (Cut) and then heads back to the Gym.

Roxie later makes a brief appearance after the player competes in the PWT for the first time, expressing an interest in competing in it (causing Clay to remark that word of the competition is spreading). Roxie does indeed compete in it later, along with most other Gym Leaders. During summer, she also visits Cynthia at Caitlin's villa in Undella Town, as do the other female Gym Leaders.

Main series

Roxie in the anime

Roxie appeared in Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1 and Part 2. Like the games, she is a musician who plays the bass guitar. She fronts Unova's top punk rock band named "Koffing and the Toxics", with Roughneck Nicky and Guitarist Billy Jo as the other members.

She is also a powerful Gym Leader, defeating everyone who dared to challenge her with only three Pokémon even when they challenged her with six. When Ash arrived at her Gym, she was thrilled to see his Pikachu, as she too had a Pokémon originating from Kanto, Koffing, and happily accepted his challenge.

Roxie defeated five out of six of Ash's Pokémon, except for Pikachu, who knocked out Roxie's Garbodor. When she was defeated, she happily congratulated Ash as the crowd cheered for his victory, and she presented him with his eighth and final Unova Badge, the Toxic Badge.

She reappeared in a flashback in Curtain Up, Unova League!. She also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

Character

Roxie is brimming with confidence. She is determined to prove her strength against all challengers, with the Virbank Gym's unique rules giving the challenger the opportunity to use up to six Pokémon against Roxie's three. Her usual battle strategy is to poison her opponent's Pokémon before dealing damage with some heavy-hitting attacks. She is highly perceptive and has developed counter strategies to take out her challengers in quick succession.

Roxie proved herself to be a very capable Gym Leader, defeating five of Ash's six Pokémon despite being at a disadvantage in terms of her party. She would occasionally perform a riff on her bass during the battle, and the crowd would chant her name. Despite their status as opponents, she also preferred giving Ash a fairer chance, offering Pignite a Pecha Berry to heal its poisoning after it defeated Scolipede when she could have simply let the battle continue with Pignite weakening.

In Choir Tournament, after Blake's team won the competition, Roxie had her father take the winning team and their class to Castelia City to compete in the Unova Choir Tournament.

In Angry Boy, shortly after arriving at their destination, Roxie encountered an injured member of the executive committee for the Unova Choir Tournament.

When asked to join Benga and Marlon launch a counterattack against the villains, Roxie and Cheren agreed.

Roxie in Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~

Roxie appeared in ANL2 where she punched two Team Plasma Grunts away. Seeing the incident, Roxie wasn't convinced that Arata could take care of any Pokémon. Roxie decided to settle their score with a Pokémon battle, with Arata using the Pokémon he was able to protect from Team Plasma. During the middle of the battle, Bianca recognized Roxie as a singer and Trainer from Virbank City. Roxie confirmed her talents to Arata and doesn't sense the heart in him to become a Pokémon Trainer. After Arata protected Oshawott from a falling light pole, Oshawott was able to defeat Roxie. She then promised to Arata that she will battle him seriously next time and told him that she was the Gym Leader in the Virbank Gym.
