Map description
A city often covered by clouds and smoke, with very active residents.
Virbank City (Japanese: タチワキシティTachiwaki City) is a city in southwestern Unova. It is the location of the second Gym that the player visits in the games Black 2 and White 2, led by Roxie.
Virbank City is shown to be a port city with many hangars, docks and waterways. In the northeastern part of the city, there is graffiti painted on the wall that resembles Koffing's skull and crossbones mark.
The Virbank Gym is the official Gym of Virbank City. The Gym Leader is Roxie. The Virbank City Gym is also a music club. For defeating Roxie, Trainers receive the Toxic Badge, and are also given TM09 (Venoshock).

Virbank City debuted in An Epic Defense Force!, when Ash and his friends arrived at the city port. Like in the games, the city has an existing movie studio and a recently built amusement park. The group met Luke again as he was visiting the city to participate in the Pokéstar Studios Film Competition. After being persuaded by Cilan, the group decided to help Luke in the making of his film, which won Best Picture.
In Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1 and Part 2, Ash and his friends went to the Virbank Gym. There, he battled Roxie for his eighth Unova League Gym Badge, and ultimately won it. Roxie also fronts Unova's top punk rock band "Koffing and the Toxics", so fans flock to the Virbank Gym to watch them perform during Roxie's Gym matches.
