"A Little Poison in Your Days, a Little Poison on the Stage"

"I can feel your desire to win pouring out of you!"
After sending out last Pokémon
"It's not over yet! Time to turn this show around for a victory!"
When defeated
"Wait! I was right in the middle of the chorus!"
After being defeated
"Sigh! What are you doing losing, Roxie?! Well…I guess that means you're strong! This stinks, but I gave it everything I had, and I feel revitalized and refreshed now!"
"Here! Proof that you beat me! Two Badges! Now Pokémon up to Lv. 30, even Pokémon you got in trades, will realize how good you are and won't ignore your commands!"
"Also, here! Use this TM! TM09 is Venoshock! It covers the target in a special poisonous liquid! Even better, if your target's already poisoned, it does double damage! Heh heh! It almost packs too much of a punch!"
Badge Case
It's kindness to say no for your friends and Pokémon, right?
In the anime
Roxie in the anime
Roxie appeared in Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1) and Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2). She is a powerful Gym Leader, defeating everyone who dared to challenge her with only three Pokémon. 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 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. 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.
Pokémon
This listing is of Roxie's known Pokémon in the anime:
Koffing
Koffing was the first Pokémon Roxie used against Ash in their Gym battle. She captured it while she was in Kanto, and it inspired her to assemble her rock band, "The Koffing". During the match, it defeated Ash's Boldore and Unfezant rather easily, but was later defeated by Leavanny.
Scolipede was the second Pokémon Roxie used against Ash in their Gym battle. It defeated Ash's Leavanny, but was later taken down by Pignite's powerful Fire Pledge.
Garbodor was the third and last Pokémon Roxie used against Ash in their Gym battle. It defeated Ash's Pignite and Palpitoad, but was later defeated by Pikachu, after getting paralyzed by his Static.
