Whitney is the third gym leader encountered in Pokémon: Gold, Silver and Pokémon: Crystal Versions. He is a normal-type trainer.

Background

Whitney was an overly emotional young girl who seemed to like cuteness and following trends. She stated her reason for getting into training Pokémon was their popularity, and she described them as being super-cute. She had only recently started battling with Pokémon when the Pokémon League appointed her the gym leader of the Goldenrod City gym.

In Gold, Silver and Crystal, he was eventually challenged and defeated by Gold. After being defeated, she began to cry, but when Gold talked to her again she regained her composure and remembered to give him his prize. She gave him a Plainbadge as well as TM45: Attract, saying it was perfect for a cutie like her.

Pokémon Roster

In Gold, Silver and Crystal, Whitney's only Pokémon are a Clefairy and a Miltank.
