The Saffron Gym is a maze of warp tiles and nine rooms. Seven of these rooms contain Trainers (only four in Generation II and IV), while the other two hold Sabrina and the entrance. A field based on the gym also appears in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]].

At some point prior to the [[Generation I]] games, both Sabrina's Gym and the [[Kiyo|Karate Master]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]] laid claim to the status of being an official Indigo League Pokémon Gym.  Due to the type advantage that the Gym's {{type|Psychic}}s had over the Dojo's {{type|Fighting}}s, Sabrina easily won the challenge and became the official Gym Leader of Saffron City.

It first appeared in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} found their way to the gym after getting trapped by [[Team Rocket]]. Ash challenged Sabrina to a battle, to which she offered an unusual request; if he lost, he and his friends would have to play with her.

Sure enough, Ash lost and was forced to play with Sabrina. She shrunk him and the others down to the size of dolls and nearly knocked them over with a ball. They were saved by [[Sabrina's father]], who told Ash that if he really wanted to defeat Sabrina, he would have to get a {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon from [[Lavender Town]].

Ash took his advice and returned two episodes later in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'' with a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} he picked up. However, when he went to challenge Sabrina, it was nowhere to be found. Ash was about to be turned into a doll, like {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}, when Sabrina's father appeared once again to save him.

Once more, Ash went to challenge Sabrina with his Haunter. It disappeared again, but reappeared halfway through the battle with {{p|Kadabra}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. After making Sabrina laugh, all of her spells were broken, and Ash received his fourth badge.
