Gardenia had a Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. She sent out her {{p|Cherubi}}, {{p|Turtwig}}, and {{p|Roserade}}. [[Ash's Torterra|Ash's Turtwig]] went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was returned. {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} defeated {{p|Cherubi}}. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig, Ash sent his out. It resulted in Ash's Turtwig's victory. {{p|Roserade}} beat Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later was defeated by [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Gardenia made use of the {{m|Sunny Day|sunny weather}} to her advantage, such as increasing {{p|Cherubi}}'s speed and allowing {{p|Roserade}} to launch fiery {{m|Weather Ball}} attacks. Despite this situation, {{Ash}} succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earning a {{badge|Forest}}.

She returned in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'' when she took part in a [[double battle]] alongside [[James]]. After the battle, she offered to train his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and make it stronger. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' where she was revealed to have helped {{TP|James|Cacnea}} to perfect {{m|Drain Punch}}.

Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}}. She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym Battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that {{adv|Platinum}} had battled against, and the first to have a [[double battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid ice and fire attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as {{adv|Platinum}}'s victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave {{adv|Platinum}} the Forest Badge.

|desc=Roserade and Cherubi were both sent against Platinum in a double battle. Since the opponent's chosen Pokémon could use Fire and Ice attacks, Gardenia used the wide area of her plain grass gym to not being hit by those type of attacks. As a distance-attack technique, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly injured Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's {{m|Grass Knot}} (which was more powerful upon {{p|Piplup}}'s evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her {{m|Blizzard}} in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at distance attack.
