Team Rocket was stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, allowing Ash and Koga to have a rematch. Pitting Charmander against Koga's {{TP|Koga|Golbat}}, Ash triumphed and won the {{Badge|Soul}}.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' when Ash was thinking back to the time where he battled Koga with Charmander and Koga ordering Golbat to use {{m|Screech}} on Charmander.

Koga was one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and served under {{adv|Giovanni}}.


Koga debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' searching the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in [[Mt. Moon]], here Koga fights with {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revealing what happened to Misty's Gyarados when it was kidnapped, however the mission fails. Koga later tries to bump off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], where he uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{adv|Blue}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures {{p|Articuno}} and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Blue at [[Silph Co.]], albeit that he almost killed both of them by not allowing them to reach their Poké Balls by using his Muk, then almost freezing them to death with his Articuno. After he is defeated and knocked out Red gets Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.

Later, Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] at [[Cerise Island]]. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha, she separates them, making Blue and Koga's Golbat that he got paired up with again face Agatha's Golbat. Meanwhile, Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok which could change its patterns allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was paralyzed from a Haunter's Lick, Koga started throwing his shuriken balls. Agatha thought this was a desperate tactic, but in reality they were Pokémon holding Parlyz Heals. Koga was hoping just one of them would get to Blue, which it did. Blue then joins him, and Koga commands his Golbat to use Leech Life on himself. His blood is then put on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was defeated.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Out of the original Generation I Gym Leaders, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG. Incidentally, his [[Koga's Ninja Trick (Gym Challenge 115)|only Trainer card]] besides the basic Koga card had to be edited because it featured a {{wp|manji}}, which could have caused controversy between cultures; the infamous Nazi {{wp|swastika}} is a reversed manji.
* Out of the original Generation I Gym Leaders, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG.
* Because he became a member of the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]], he is technically the first member of the Elite Four seen in the anime, though he was not a member at the time he was shown. He is also the only one Ash defeated in battle (again, however, it was as a Gym Leader).
* Koga is the first Elite Four member who was introduced in an earlier generation and then attained the title in a later generation.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the {{tc|Ninja Boy}} on Route 217 mentions different kinds of ninja in the world. He says, "There are several kinds of ninjas. Are you an Iga or a Kouga ninja?" This is a reference to the two main schools of ninjutsu, Iga-ryu and Kōga-ryu, the latter of which Koga himself is named after.
* Koga's {{game|Yellow}} [[party|team]] is of a higher level than his [[Elite Four]] team in Gold, Silver, and Crystal and HeartGold and SoulSilver during the first match with him.
* His {{p|Venomoth}} doesn't appear in games that have [[Sabrina]] using a Venomoth in her team.
* Koga, [[Bruno]], [[Lance]], and [[Caitlin]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
** Koga, Bruno, and Lance are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]].
* Koga's updated [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has him in a pose identical to that of his daughter Janine's in her VS artwork, only reversed.
* Koga is the first Elite Four member who was introduced in an earlier generation and then attained the title in a later generation. The second is [[Caitlin]].
* Koga is the only Gym Leader introduced up until that point, that does not appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This is due to his status as an [[Elite Four]] member in the Generation II and IV games.
