The '''Virbank Gym''' (Japanese: '''タチワキジム''' ''Tachiwaki Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Virbank City]]. It is based on {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Roxie]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Toxic}}.

==In the games==
{{sign|bwbuilding|Virbank City Pokémon Gym<br>Leader: Roxie|"Poison days, poison on the stage!"}}
The Virbank Gym is designed as an underground music club. Upon entering, the {{player}} will have to go down some stairs and enter the club, where Roxie and her band are performing on the stage. The club also doubles as a place for bands to form, as posters fill the walls next to the staircase, and one of them notes a vocalist in the search of the rest of a band. The Gym has a large stage with a picture of a {{p|Koffing}} made out of graffiti on it, chairs and tables, a bar, and a booth for a DJ. Trainers must battle Roxie's two band members before she will battle them.
