Anime
| Pokémon | Information | |
| Geodude was first seen in the Episode 290: Gonna Rule The School! when it was used to blast away Team Rocket with a single Rollout attack. It was then used in the official gym battle with Ash and easily defeated Treecko with relative ease but ended up losing to Pikachu. Besides Rollout its known moves are Rock Throw and Mega Punch. | ||

| Pokémon | Information | |
| Nosepass is the strongest and main Pokémon of Roxanne. It was used to battle against Pikachu. It attacked Pikachu quickly with a Rock Tomb and, surprisingly for a Rock-Type Pokémon, used a powerful Zap Cannon and Thunder Wave. It also used Sandstorm to hide itself from Pikachu and used its nose to attack Pikachu. It was soon defeated by Pikachu's Iron Tail, though. | ||

Trivia
- Roxanne's name is a play on the word Rock, since she is a Rock-Type trainer. Brock and Roark may also share this pun. (Brock: take away the B, leaving rock, and Roark: take away the 'a' and the second 'r' and you get Rok, which can be translated to "rock".)
- Roxanne is the only 'female' Gym Leader that specializes in Rock-type Pokémon.
