===Main series===
The Nimbasa Gym was first seen in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]''. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived there was a note saying that [[Elesa]] was somewhere else. Later it was revealed that {{an|Bianca}} had already requested a battle, therefore Ash had to wait until she was done. With the group observing, Bianca battled Elesa, but eventually lost.

Ash finally got the chance to battle Elesa in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. He had planned to sweep the entire match with just {{AP|Palpitoad}}, and was thus forced to call a time out and change his [[party|team]] around mid-battle when it was defeated. Despite this, Ash was still able to win himself a {{badge|Bolt}} in the end.

Just like the games, the Nimbasa Gym has a roller coaster that is used to traverse inside the Gym.

Ash was confused by the unusual Pokémon that, despite being fish-like in appearance, could float in mid-air. Elesa worked around Tynamo's inability to learn more than a few moves by training her so her Tackle was extremely powerful, causing Pikachu to struggle. However, after Pikachu pulled himself together, he started to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the entire battlefield. With her view obscured, Tynamo was knocked out with just one {{m|Iron Tail}}.

The Nimbasa Gym appeared in ''[[PS484|Battle on a Roller Coaster]]'', where {{adv|Black}} challenged Elesa. Like in the games, the Gym is filled with a big roller coaster, with Elesa waiting at the end. However, when Black reached Elesa, he realized that he couldn't open his safety harness, forcing him to stay in his moving car during the battle. Using her favorite move, {{m|Volt Switch}}, Elesa was able to launch rapid fire attacks while avoiding Black's Pokémon's attacks. With good timing, Black was able to defeat Elesa's {{p|Zebstrika}} with [[Nite]]'s {{m|Bulldoze}}, leaving her with just {{p|Emolga}}. With its great speed and {{type|Flying}} attacks, Emolga came close to defeating Nite, but with some quick thinking, Black came up with a strategy of using a roller coaster loop for Nite to land a surprise attack on Emolga from above, defeating it.

Just when Elesa was about to hand Black a {{badge|Bolt}} as a sign of his victory, his car started moving again, taking Black to an outside portion of the roller coaster, where he encountered {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}}, which unleashed a lightning bolt on him, shocking him and opening his harness in the process. Back inside the Gym, Elesa told Black how she had also encountered Thundurus in her past.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Nimbasa Gym is the only Gym where the [[Gym Leader]]'s monetary reward is the lower than all of the other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s present in the Gym. This is probably due to the fact that the Trainers are {{tc|Rich Boy}}s and {{tc|Lady|Ladies}}, who give a higher [[prize money]] than most other {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es.

* Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation V|Nimbasa Gym Trainer glitch|a glitch}}, if the player loses to {{tc|Lady}} Colette while directly facing her when encountered, when the player comes back in she will be standing on the same spot and will battle the player. After she is defeated, she still remains on the tracks of the roller coaster, and can be passed through while riding the roller coaster to [[Elesa]].
