The Fuchsia Gym (Japanese: セキチクジム Sekichiku Gym) is the official gym of Fuchsia City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. In Generations I and III, the Gym Leader is Koga. However, by Generation II/IV, the Gym Leader's duties had been taken up by Koga's daughter, Janine, as he had advanced to the Elite Four. Trainers who are victorious at this gym may receive the Soul Badge.
In the games
The Fuchsia Gym can be difficult to navigate, as it features invisible walls that were installed by Ninja Master Koga. Janine keeps this in place when she takes over. She adds another layer of difficulty though: all junior Trainers in the gym look like her.
A field based on the gym also appears in Pokémon Stadium's Gym Leader Castle.

In the anime
Fuchsia Gym appeared in only one episode of the anime. Its appearance is based on an old-fashioned Japanese mansion. It is located in a forest outside of the main city. It is filled with booby traps, most notably invisible walls and a horde of explosive Voltorb. Battles take place either inside the mansion or in the courtyard outside.
In The Ninja Poké Showdown, Ash sought out the Fuchsia Gym in order to defeat Koga for his sixth badge. Before he found Koga, he found what appeared to be a stray Venonat. After following it into the gym and finding several Voltorb, Ash and co. encountered Aya, who revealed the Venonat was hers. After defeating her, Koga, Aya's brother, appeared and accepted Ash's challenge.
The battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who wanted to steal all of the gym's Pokémon. Thanks to Psyduck, and Koga's use of a slanted room, the trio was sent blasting off. Ash and Koga continued their battle outside. With the help of Charmander, Ash defeated Koga and earned his Soul Badge.

Trivia
- If playing Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow on a normal Game Boy, the walls are invisible. However, when using a multicolored palette on the Game Boy Color, these walls are exposed.
- The Fuchsia Gym is currently the only one that trains Poison-type Pokémon.
- Despite specializing in Poison-types, in Generations I and III, only two of the six Trainers in the gym use Poison-type Pokémon. The four Jugglers are all Psychic-type Trainers, and the two Tamers also each have a Ground-type, which ironically, are two of the types that are strong against the Poison-type in Generation I. However, Drowzee and Hypno both learn Poison Gas by level up, and Sandslash learns Poison Sting by level up.
