Agatha is a Ghost-type Pokémon trainer who served as a member of the Kanto Elite Four. She was known for her short temper.

Background

In her youth, Agatha and Professor Oak were rival Pokémon trainers. Agatha continued battling with Pokémon in her old age. However, she was disappointed to find Oak had given up and retired to focus on his research. In Pokémon: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen Versions, Agatha was the third member of the Elite Four whom Red battled.

Agath recognized Red as a pupil of Oak. After she was defeated, Agatha asked Red to continue battling when he became old like Agatha, instead of "going soft" like Oak. Agatha was not shown as a member of the Elite Four in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal Versions. Her fate is unconfirmed.

Pokémon Roster

Agatha specializes in Ghost-types, but she also uses Poison-types , most likely due to the low amount of Ghost-type Pokémon in the games. Her Pokémon roster in the games is:

• Gengar (two)
• Golbat
• Haunter
• Arbok

In FireRed and LeafGreen, Agatha replaces Golbat and Haunter with Crobat and Misdrevus in subsequent rematches.

Other Games

Agatha appeared in Pokémon Stadium as an opponent in the Gym Leader Castle, alongside the other Elite Four members. Agatha used Haunter, Golbat, Arbok, Muk, Venusaur and Gengar in Round 1. In Round 2, she used Jynx, Alakazam, Arbok, Gyarados, Venusaur and Gengar.

Trivia

• In FireRed and LeafGreen it was shown that she held the record of being the oldest member of the Elite Four. It is unsure if this record is still standing in later games.
• In the Pokémon anime, Agatha was the last of the original Elite Four members to make an appearance. A sister of her's named "Hagatha" appeared early in the Johto episodes (based on Gold, Silver and Crystal), but Agatha herself did not appear until an episode of the Battle Frontier series (based on Pokémon: Ruby and Sapphire Versions). In this episode she was Viridian City Gym's temporary gym leader. Ash and Agatha battled each other just for fun, as Ash had earned the gym's badge long ago, and he lost to Agatha.
• She was excluded from Pokémon Puzzle League (in which two of her fellow Elite Four members appeared), likely because she had not yet appeared in the anime.
