The Virbank Gym is designed as an underground music club. Upon entering, the {{player}} will have to go down some stairs and enter the club, where Roxie and her band are performing on the stage. The Gym has a large stage with a picture of a {{p|Koffing}} made out of graffiti on it, chairs and tables, a bar, and a booth for a DJ. Trainers must battle Roxie's two band members before she will battle them.
The Virbank Gym is designed as an underground music club. Upon entering, the {{player}} will have to go down some stairs and enter the club, where Roxie and her band are performing on the stage. The club also doubles as a place for bands to form, as posters fill the walls next to the staircase, and one of them notes a vocalist in the search of the rest of a band. The Gym has a large stage with a picture of a {{p|Koffing}} made out of graffiti on it, chairs and tables, a bar, and a booth for a DJ. The puddle Roxie stands on is made of purple goop. Trainers must battle Roxie's two band members before she will battle them.

The Virbank Gym was first mentioned in ''[[BW080|Clash of the Connoisseurs!]]''. After learning that the [[Opelucid Gym]] was closed, {{Ash}} was informed of the Gym in [[Virbank City]], so he decided to challenge it instead.
The Virbank Gym made its appearance in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)]]'' as an underground Gym located in an alleyway in Virbank City. {{Ash}} had his battle with Roxie which continued in ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]'', where he defeated Roxie and won the Toxic Badge, his final Unova Badge.
 
Ash arrived at the Virbank Gym in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' to challenge Roxie to a Gym battle, and was surprised to hear that he was allowed to use all of his Pokémon against Roxie's three. The battle continued in ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', with Ash emerging victorious at the end, thus earning him his final [[Unova League]] [[Badge]], the {{badge|Toxic}}.
 
Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, the Gym is accessed from an alleyway in Virbank City and doubles as an underground music club, where Roxie performs with {{un|Nicky}} and [[Billy Jo]].

According to Roxie, she caught Koffing during a concert that she held in [[Kanto]].

The Virbank Gym appeared in ''[[PS533|New Sword Player]]'', where {{adv|Blake}} took {{adv|Whitley}} to a concert that Roxie was holding there. Although Blake seemed to enjoy the concert, Whitley, who had been unconscious while being taken to the Gym, felt herself uncomfortable and confused in the loud and crowded atmosphere.
