'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Grass}} [[Pokémon]].
'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.


==In the anime==
==In the core series games==
[[Image:Natane_anime.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gardenia in the anime]]
Gardenia uses {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.
Gardenia first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener]]''. In this episode, she had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the Eterna City Gym Leader specialized in Grass Pokémon but not that it is her yet. She sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon recalled it. She then sent out her own {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, which defeated both [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia}}.
 
She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]] to warn the {{player}} of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She will also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type|Ghost}}s and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to [[Generation VI]].

Gardenia has an obsession with Grass Pokémon to the extent that she did not appear to be taking Team Rocket seriously due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. But she seems to get over this problem in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', when she battled the Team Rocket without any hesitation by sending her {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} out. She also reveals her rank as a Gym Leader in this episode.

Gardenia had a Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. She sent out her {{p|Cherubi}}, {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}}, and {{p|Roserade}}. [[Ash's Turtwig]] went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was returned. [[Ash's Staravia]] defeated {{p|Cherubi}}. After {{AP|Staravia}} was defeated by [[Gardenia's Turtwig]], Ash sent his out. It resulted in [[Ash's Turtwig]]'s victory. {{p|Roserade}} beat Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later was defeated by [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Gardenia made use of the {{m|Sunny Day|sunny weather}} to her advantage, such as increasing {{p|Cherubi}}'s speed and allowing {{p|Roserade}} to launch fiery {{m|Weather Ball}} attacks. Despite this situation, {{Ash}} succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earning a {{badge|Forest}}.
===={{B2W2}}====
=====[[Pokémon World Tournament]]=====
Gardenia uses three of these Pokémon in [[Pokémon battle|Single Battles]], four in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Rotation Battle]]s, and all six in [[Triple Battle]]s. She will always lead with her signature Pokémon, {{p|Roserade}}.


She returned in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'' when she took part in a [[double battle]] alongside [[James]]. After the battle, she offered to train  his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and make it stronger.

==In the games==
==Quotes==
Gardenia uses {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, trainers receive the {{badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.
{{main|Gardenia/Quotes}}
 
==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|250px|Gardenia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gardenia debuted in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. She was first seen unsuccessfully attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} in the [[Eterna Forest]]. She then ran off to see [[Ash's Turtwig]], which she complimented. After that, Gardenia had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the [[Eterna City]] [[Gym Leader]] specialized in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but she refrained from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon [[recall]]ed it. She then sent out her own {{p|Turtwig}}, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and {{AP|Staravia}}.
 
Gardenia informed Ash, {{ashfr}}, and [[Cheryl]] that she knew about a {{p|Combee}} wall near some [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers, and she joined them during their search for the [[Amber Castle]]. The group was confronted by {{TRT}}, but instead of being horrified to learn they were thieves, Gardenia became infatuated with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} instead. She eventually decided to battle the trio after seeing [[Jessie's Seviper]], and also rescued [[Cheryl's Mothim]]. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a {{p|Nuzleaf}} regarding some urgent business.
 
Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia again at the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Gardenia instantly recognized [[Nando]], who had been apprehended by [[Officer Jenny]] on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped recover the stolen item in question, the [[Adamant Orb]], which had actually been stolen by Team Rocket.
 
[[File:James and Gardenia.png|thumb|left|220px|James giving Cacnea to Gardenia]]
Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. {{AP|Turtwig}} went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was recalled. Staravia then defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}}, Ash defeated it with his own Turtwig. Next, {{p|Roserade}} defeated Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later, it was defeated by {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} combination, thus earning Ash the {{Badge|Forest}}.
 
Gardenia visited [[Emeragrove Town]] to promote Pokémon battling in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''. She took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]], where they went up against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea as it used {{m|Drain Punch}} for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon, Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.
 
She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where {{an|Barry}} revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
 
====Character====
Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on [[harsh sunlight]], which increases the power of [[move]]s like {{m|Solar Beam}} or {{m|Weather Ball}}, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.
 
Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to the [[Eterna Forest]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} new Pokémon that she could train. She is also prepared to [[trade]] for {{type|Grass}}s she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to such an extent that she did not take {{TRT}} seriously, due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.


She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]], to warn the player of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts.

|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} was first seen in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'' when Gardenia used it in an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]]. It displayed its high speed, but it was revealed that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.


===Pokémon===
It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's [[Gym]] battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its {{a|Chlorophyll}} [[Ability]] to enhance its speed and forced Ash to recall him. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}} was first seen when it battled [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia}}. It had great speed and power, especially in regards to its Leech Seed attack. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the match. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.
 
During Ash's [[Gym]] battle, Gardenia used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's own Turtwig after a fierce round. Turtwig reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', where it was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James's Cacnea]], but it was defeated by [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]'s {{m|Spark}}.
 
[[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.
 
Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

==Quotes==
Roserade briefly appeared alongside Gardenia during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
At the entrance of Gym's maze, when player enters<br>
''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader - me - until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting out in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''


Before battle <br>
Roserade's known moves are {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, and {{m|Flash}}.}}
''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the Grass-type master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle."''


After sending out last Pokémon<br>
=====Mentioned=====
''"It's not the end yet."''
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Gardenia mentioned that she has a {{p|Bellossom}}, a {{p|Vileplume}}, and a {{p|Victreebel}} when she wanted to [[trade]] one of her Pokémon for [[James's Carnivine]].

Later, in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against {{an|Barry}}, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.}}

S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''
Gardenia briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

===Pocket Monsters DP===
Gardenia meets the trio ({{Special|Diamond}}, {{Special|Pearl}}, {{Special|Berlitz}}) for the first time  at Old Chateau. She sent out a {{p|Roserade}} against Berlitz's {{p|Prinplup}}.
Gardenia appeared in a flashback in [[PMDP07]].
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.
 
Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a [[Double Battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.
 
Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced [[Mars]] and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by [[Cyrus]], Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the first Gym Leader in the Pokémon games to own a starter Pokémon.
* Gardenia is the only [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]] who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] {{m|Grass Knot|move}} when battled in the [[Battleground]].
* Gardenia is the second Gym Leader in the {{pkmn|anime}} to receive a [[James's Cacnea|Pokémon]] from a [[James|main character]]. The first was [[Sabrina]].
* Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} that uses a fully-evolved Pokémon from a three-stage evolutionary line in her Gym battle.
* Coincidently, there is a town in the anime named [[Gardenia Town]].
** Although [[Misty]], [[Lenora]], and [[Nessa]] all use fully-evolved Pokémon ({{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, {{p|Watchog}}, and {{p|Drednaw}} respectively), all those Pokémon's evolutionary lines only have two stages.
* Gardenia is the only Gym Leader not to use the TM given out in the first battle on their Pokémon in the post-national dex rematch.
* Gardenia is the only Gym Leader who uses a [[first partner Pokémon]] in her Gym battle that is available to the {{player}} in the same game.
* In Platinum, her {{p|Cherubi}} had been replaced by a Cherrim, but is under leveled, as Cherubi evolves into Cherrim at [[level]] 25.

Gardenia (Japanese: ナタネ Natane) is the Gym Leader of Eterna City's Gym, known officially as the Eterna Gym. She hands out the Forest Badge to Trainers who defeat her. She specializes in Grass-type Pokémon.

In the core series games

Gardenia uses Grass-type Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the Forest Badge, TM86 (Grass Knot), and the ability to use Cut outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the Eterna Forest. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the Old Chateau to warn the player of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in Platinum, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the Battleground. She will also sometimes visit the Villa and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of Ghost-types and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a Grass/Ghost Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to Generation VI.

Main series

Gardenia in the anime

Gardenia debuted in The Grass-Type Is Always Greener. She was first seen unsuccessfully attempting to catch a wild Gloom in the Eterna Forest. She then ran off to see Ash's Turtwig, which she complimented. After that, Gardenia had a short battle with Ash, revealing to him that the Eterna City Gym Leader specialized in Grass-type Pokémon, but she refrained from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out Cherubi first, though she soon recalled it. She then sent out her own Turtwig, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and Staravia.

Gardenia informed Ash, his friends, and Cheryl that she knew about a Combee wall near some Pomeg Berry flowers, and she joined them during their search for the Amber Castle. The group was confronted by Team Rocket, but instead of being horrified to learn they were thieves, Gardenia became infatuated with James's Carnivine and Cacnea instead. She eventually decided to battle the trio after seeing Jessie's Seviper, and also rescued Cheryl's Mothim. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a Nuzleaf regarding some urgent business.

Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia again at the Eterna Historical Museum in A Secret Sphere of Influence!. Gardenia instantly recognized Nando, who had been apprehended by Officer Jenny on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped recover the stolen item in question, the Adamant Orb, which had actually been stolen by Team Rocket.

James giving Cacnea to Gardenia

Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in The Grass Menagerie!. Turtwig went up against Cherubi first, but it was recalled. Staravia then defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig's Leech Seed, Ash defeated it with his own Turtwig. Next, Roserade defeated Ash's Turtwig with its Weather Ball, but later, it was defeated by Aipom's Swift and Focus Punch combination, thus earning Ash the Forest Badge.

Gardenia visited Emeragrove Town to promote Pokémon battling in Once There Were Greenfields. She took part in a Tag Battle alongside James, where they went up against Ash and Dawn. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and Dawn's Pachirisu. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea as it used Drain Punch for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon, Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.

She reappeared in a flashback in Barry's Busting Out All Over!, where Barry revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Character

Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on harsh sunlight, which increases the power of moves like Solar Beam or Weather Ball, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.

Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to the Eterna Forest to catch new Pokémon that she could train. She is also prepared to trade for Grass-types she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to such an extent that she did not take Team Rocket seriously, due to her fascination with James's Carnivine and Cacnea.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's Gym battle during The Grass Menagerie!, where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its Chlorophyll Ability to enhance its speed and forced Ash to recall him. It then went up against Staravia where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are Magical Leaf and Solar Beam, and its Ability is Chlorophyll.

It reappeared in a flashback in League Unleashed!.

Cacnea
Main article: James's Cacnea

Gardenia first met Cacnea in The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!, when it was sent out by James. Gardenia was automatically attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using Pin Missile.

Later, in Once There Were Greenfields, after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn Drain Punch, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against Barry, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.

Pokémon Adventures

Roark and his Cranidos with Gardenia and her Roserade

Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her Roserade use Grass Knot to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to Old Chateau and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a Gym Leader, she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.

Gardenia was the second Gym Leader that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a Double Battle against. Gardenia sent out Roserade and Cherubi against Platinum's Prinplup and Ponyta. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her Roserade used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. Cherubi on the other hand used Grass Knot. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a Blizzard into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.

Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced Mars and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by Cyrus, Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

Pokémon

Gardenia's Cherubi
Cherubi ♀
Roserade and Cherubi were both sent against Platinum in a Double Battle. Since the opponent's chosen Pokémon could use Fire and Ice attacks, Gardenia used the wide area of her plain grass Gym to not being hit by those type of attacks. As a distance-attack technique, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly injured Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's Grass Knot (which was more powerful upon Piplup's evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her Blizzard in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at-distance attack.

Cherubi's only known move is Grass Knot, and her Ability is Chlorophyll.

Roserade was later seen helping in destroying one of the Red Chains Cyrus created.

Roserade's only known move is Grass Knot, and her Ability is Poison Point.

Debut Ring Around the Roserade I
Given away
Gardenia's Cherrim
Cherrim ♀
This Cherrim was given to Platinum by Gardenia, and was taken with the rest of Platinum's Pokémon to help Looker investigate on the Distortion World.

Cherrim's only known move is Solar Beam, and her Ability is Flower Gift.

Debut Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia III

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

Hareta first met Gardenia in Eterna Forest, both mistaking the other to be part of Team Galactic. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was Eterna City's Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However, after being attacked by Piplup she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

Pokémon

Gardenia's Cherubi
Cherubi
Cherubi was the first Pokémon Gardenia used in the Gym battle against Hareta. It went up against his Shinx and was able to put up a great fight as it was finished off with Shinx's Bite. It was revealed that Cherubi used Leech Seed as part of the laid-out traps when Hareta's Piplup got to battle.

Cherubi's only known move is Leech Seed.

Debut Win with Teamwork!!
Gardenia's Turtwig
Turtwig
Turtwig was the second Pokémon used in the Gym battle. It went up against Hareta's Shinx and allowed itself to get defeated by Shinx's Spark.

Turtwig's only known move is Grass Knot.

Debut Win with Teamwork!!
Gardenia's Roserade
Roserade
Roserade is Gardenia's strongest Pokémon. It was the third Pokémon used in the Gym battle. It managed to defeat Hareta's Shinx due to the trap that her Turtwig set up. It also battled with Misdreavus where Misdreavus used Spite to lower the PP of Magical Leaf. Misdreavus too got defeated by Roserade which left Piplup as the last Pokémon. After narrowly dodging Roserade's attacks, Piplup won the battle with an airborne Peck as Roserade could no longer use Magical Leaf to protect itself.

Roserade's only known move is Magical Leaf.
