Bertha is the second member of Sinnoh's Elite Four to be battled in Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Versions. She specializes in Ground-type Pokémon.

Background

Bertha was an elderly woman who was a member of Sinnoh's Elite Four. When she is first challenged by Lucas/Dawn, Bertha saw the trainer as being adorable but having spine. She explained having a preference for Ground-type Pokémon and that she would like the trainer to show her what they had learned.

After being defeated, Bertha congratulated Lucas/Dawn, telling that their Pokémon worked as one and that she believed that was the trainer's greatest strength. She warned him that the next trainer was a more formidable opponent so they should keep their wits about them, but she also expressed her belief that the trainer could go as far as they desire.

• Quagsire (Diamond/Pearl only)/Gliscor (Platinum only)
