'''Agatha''' (Japanese: '''キクコ''' ''Kikuko'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
'''Agatha''' (Japanese: '''キクコ''' ''Kikuko'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} who serves as a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}.
 
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, she is an elderly woman who is the third and oldest member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]].


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
Agatha is a member of the [[Elite Four]], and the oldest one to date. As such, she serves as an inspiration for senior Pokémon Trainers all around the region. She uses Ghost-type Pokémon, and other Pokémon with horrifying appearances.
Agatha is an elderly woman who is the third Trainer of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, and the oldest such known to date. As such, she serves as an inspiration for senior [[Pokémon Trainer]]s all around the region. She uses Ghost-type Pokémon and other Pokémon with horrifying appearances. She has a very short temper and believes Pokémon should primarily be used for battling.


Agatha and [[Professor Oak]] were once friendly rivals in their youth, and it appears that Agatha may have once had a crush on Oak. However, their relationship has grown bitter and strained over the years because Agatha believes he was too weak to continue competing.
Agatha and [[Professor Oak]] were once friendly rivals in their youth. However, their relationship has grown bitter and strained over the years because Agatha believes he was too weak to continue competing. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], during her [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story "A Day with Agatha", {{mas|Agatha}} explains how she and {{mas|Professor Oak|Oak}} met. Oak was always friendly and open when he was young and would talk to Agatha and try to help her. Though he was only trying to be nice, it still annoyed Agatha because she wanted to be left alone. Agatha would battle Oak to try and get him to go away, but he was always better than her, and so she would battle him again and again. Eventually, the time they spent together began to mean a lot to Agatha. As a result, when Oak got the idea to invent the [[Pokédex]] and subsequently stopped battling, Agatha felt betrayed.


She has a very short temper.
By the events of the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, Agatha is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and [[Bruno]] has assumed her position. Her absence is never explained, but an old portrait with younger versions of her, Professor Oak, and [[Kurt]] can be seen in the latter's house.

[[File:Agatha anime.png|thumb|220px|Agatha in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Agatha appeared in the anime in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', acting as a temporary [[Gym Leader]] for the [[Viridian Gym]], until the true new Gym Leader would arrive.
Agatha appeared in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. {{Ash}} met her while traveling through [[Viridian City]] during his journey home to [[Pallet Town]]. [[Scott]] formally introduced her to Ash, and Agatha explained that she was acting as the temporary [[Gym Leader]] for the [[Viridian Gym]] until the true new Gym Leader would arrive. She uses {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon for the Gym.


While {{Ash}} was going through Viridian City on the way back to [[Pallet Town]], he met up with [[Scott]]. Wanting to show Scott how strong he was, Ash challenged Agatha to a Gym battle. Despite maintaining top eight of the [[Ever Grande Conference]], Ash lost to her Gengar with his {{AP|Pikachu}}.
Ash then challenged Agatha to a {{pkmn|battle}}, hoping to demonstrate his strength to Scott. Despite being in the Top 8 of the recent [[Ever Grande Conference]] and putting up a good fight against Agatha, Ash lost to her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}}. Despite that, both Agatha and Scott were impressed by Ash's technique, and Agatha revealed to Ash that she is a member of the [[Elite Four]]. She and Scott both recommended Ash to challenge the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and the [[Frontier Brain]]s.


Although he lost, both Agatha and Scott were impressed. It was then that Agatha revealed to Ash that she is a member of the Elite Four. She and Scott both recommended Ash to challenge the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and the [[Frontier Brain]]s.
{{TRT}} soon arrived, hoping to kidnap Pikachu, but Ash worked together with Agatha and her {{p|Golbat}} to send the trio blasting off. She then wished Ash the best for his upcoming Battle Frontier challenge and said that she would be rooting for him.
 
====Character====
Agatha is confident in {{pkmn|battle}} and always looks forward to challenging a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In her match against {{Ash}}, she bade her time to observe {{AP|Pikachu}}'s movements before having her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} attack. Over time, she has developed an array of strategies to counter an opponent, such as when she used her {{p|Golbat}}'s {{m|Supersonic}} to reflect {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}} rather than {{status|confusion|confusing}} it.

[[File:Agatha Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Agatha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Agatha Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Agatha in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
She was first seen as a cameo when {{adv|Professor Oak}} talked about his first championship win, which appeared to be against her in the finals. Agatha was one of the main villains in the {{chap|Yellow}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga; she was one of the [[Elite Four]] who tried to destroy most of humanity from their base on [[Cerise Island]].
====History====
=====Past=====
When Agatha and {{adv|Professor Oak}} were younger, Agatha met up with Oak during the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] and asked why he quit their "research group". He explained that he disagreed with their methods and wanted to create the [[Pokédex]], which she thought was a stupid idea that would never be complete, and a battle ensued which Oak won. Agatha would soon face Oak again in the finals of the Pokémon League, which Oak barely won after a battle that lasted over eight hours. Agatha would end up developing a personal vendetta against him and anyone who associates with him.


She was first seen trying to take away {{tc|Super Nerd}} Miles after he was defeated by Yellow and the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto. She was then seen in a flashback during the events of the previous chapter where she battled Blue and attempted to kill him due to his relation to Professor Oak by having her Gengar use Dream Eater to suck away his energy. He managed to escape though and a Haunter she stole from a Trainer named Ivan was also taken back. She then had her Haunter lead an army of Gastly to attack [[Cerulean City]] to delay [[Misty]].
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Agatha debuted in a cameo when Professor Oak talked about his first championship win, which was against her in the finals. Agatha, along with the rest of the original [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], physically debuted in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', where they were seen observing {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle at [[Indigo Plateau]].


She fought against {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]], revealing an Arbok with the ability to change the pattern on its belly and use different corresponding abilities. She decided to divide Koga and Blue using her Arbok's Rock Slide and she had her Golbat attack Blue. After battling Koga's Arbok for a while Koga started throwing shuriken balls out of nowhere, which Agatha believed was a pitiful attempt to harm her, but was really an attempt to heal Blue's paralysis that Agatha caused using her Haunter's {{m|Lick}}. After that Blue rejoined the battle and Koga used his Golbat's {{m|Leech Life}} to collect his own blood and smeared it on Arbok's pattern, preventing it from changing anymore. While Agatha was presumably beaten, a second Arbok of hers attacked an unknowing Koga from behind, only to be stopped by Blue before it could land a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. Agatha was subsequently defeated and seemingly vanished after her defeat, but not before she had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly drain their energy, which was defeated as well. She then revealed that she was the one controlling the Pokémon armies of her peers by using special wrist bands to control them and she used these same bands to force Bruno to join the Elite Four as well.

Agatha was one of the main villains in this chapter; she was one of the Elite Four who tried to destroy most of humanity from their base on [[Cerise Island]].
 
She was first seen trying to take away {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}} after he was defeated by Yellow and the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto. She was then seen in a flashback during the events of the previous chapter where she battled Blue and attempted to kill him by having her Gengar use Dream Eater to suck away his energy. While encased in the Dream Eater's coffin, she told him of her vendetta against Professor Oak and anyone associated with him, which included Blue.
He managed to escape with help from his Golduck, and a Haunter she stole from {{tc|Camper}} [[Evan]] was also taken back. She then had her Gengar lead an army of Haunter to attack [[Cerulean City]] to delay [[Misty]].
 
She fought {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]], revealing an Arbok with the ability to change the pattern on its belly and use different corresponding abilities. She decided to divide Koga and Blue using her Arbok's Rock Slide and she had her Golbat attack Blue. While  Blue was distracted fighting Golbat, she had her Gengar use {{m|Lick}} on Blue's eyes, causing temporary blindness. After battling Koga's Arbok for a while Koga started throwing shuriken balls out of nowhere, which Agatha believed was a pitiful attempt to harm her but was really Koga's attempt to get a Paralyze Heal to Blue. After that Blue rejoined the battle and Koga used his Golbat's {{m|Leech Life}} to collect his own blood and smeared it on Arbok's pattern, preventing it from changing anymore. While Agatha was presumably beaten, her Arbok was reading itself to attack an unknowing Koga from behind, only to be stopped by Blue before it could land a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. Agatha was subsequently defeated and seemingly vanished after her defeat, but not before she had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly drain their energy, which was defeated as well. She then revealed that she was the one controlling the Pokémon armies of her peers by using special wrist bands to control them.


Agatha used the mind-controlling powers of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to control [[Bruno]] against his will. It is shown that she was the one who also recruited Lorelei by healing her Seel and then figuring out they have a common distaste of humans.

However, all of this turned out to be fake as Agatha only became interested in Clefairy was his health looked tasty. After sucking away Clefairy's health, Red finds out who she is and transforms into a Golbat. However, the health that Agatha drained from Clefairy turned out to not taste good and miniature versions of Clefairy escape Agatha's Golbat body.

==In the TCG==
[[File:AgathaChillingReign186.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Agatha]]
{{main|Agatha (Chilling Reign 129)}}
'''Agatha''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Jet-Black Spirit}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Chilling Reign}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by [[NC Empire]]. It allows the player to move up to three damage counters from their Active Pokémon to their opponent's.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Though she claims to specialize in the Ghost type, the common type shared by all her Pokémon in the main series games (except {{p|Misdreavus}}) is {{t|Poison}}. This is most likely because the only Ghost-type Pokémon in [[Generation I]] were in the {{p|Gastly}} line.  
* As noted by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} in the form of a quote from her novel during the {{player}}'s post-[[National Pokédex]] challenge, Agatha and [[Bertha]] are very similar in appearance and name (both in English and Japanese).
** This makes her the only member of the Generation I Elite Four whose team is made up of Pokémon that all share a common type.
** Furthermore, they both are part of their [[region]]s's Elite Four, and their Japanese names both contain 菊 ''kiku'' (chrysanthemum).
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four mentions Agatha's resemblance to [[Bertha]] of the [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four as a quote from her novel during the player's post-National Pokédex challenge.
** This is further corroborated by {{hi|Charm}} of the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]], who herself bears a resemblance to both of them and whose [[Party|team]] is composed of {{p|Rhydon}} (from the same evolutionary family as Bertha's ace in {{game|Platinum}}) and {{p|Gengar}} (Agatha's main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in essentially every [[canon]]).
* Though Agatha is stated to [[Type specialist|specialize]] in the {{type|Ghost}}, {{t|Poison}} is actually the most common [[type]] among all of her Pokémon in the [[core series]] games, present in all but two of her Pokémon: {{p|Misdreavus}} and {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}} due to the lack of Ghost type Pokémon at the time.
** In her [[Generation I]] and initial [[Generation VII]] teams, all of her Pokémon are either pure or partly Poison-types, making Agatha the only member of the [[Kanto]] Elite Four to have ever had a team in which all members share a common type.
*** This distinction is shared with [[Lance]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. However, Lance is considered the Champion in those generations rather than an Elite Four member and this distinction only applies to his team in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where all his Pokémon are also {{t|Flying|Flying-types}} and has more Flying-types than {{t|Dragon|Dragon-types}}, despite being a Dragon-type specialist.
* In the Generation I {{pkmn|games}}, the {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and Agatha use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.
* As Agatha's name in Japanese includes "chrysanthemum", the design of the shawl she wears in her [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] concept art is based on chrysanthemum leaves.<ref name=Guide>''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!: Official Trainer's Guide & Pokédex]]'', p. 373</ref>

Agatha (Japanese: キクコ Kikuko) is a Ghost-type Trainer who serves as a member of the Indigo Elite Four in Generations I, III, and VII.

In the core series games

Agatha is an elderly woman who is the third Trainer of the Kanto Elite Four in Generations I, III, and VII, and the oldest such known to date. As such, she serves as an inspiration for senior Pokémon Trainers all around the region. She uses Ghost-type Pokémon and other Pokémon with horrifying appearances. She has a very short temper and believes Pokémon should primarily be used for battling.

Agatha and Professor Oak were once friendly rivals in their youth. However, their relationship has grown bitter and strained over the years because Agatha believes he was too weak to continue competing. In Pokémon Masters EX, during her Sync Pair Story "A Day with Agatha", Agatha explains how she and Oak met. Oak was always friendly and open when he was young and would talk to Agatha and try to help her. Though he was only trying to be nice, it still annoyed Agatha because she wanted to be left alone. Agatha would battle Oak to try and get him to go away, but he was always better than her, and so she would battle him again and again. Eventually, the time they spent together began to mean a lot to Agatha. As a result, when Oak got the idea to invent the Pokédex and subsequently stopped battling, Agatha felt betrayed.

By the events of the Generation II and IV games, Agatha is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and Bruno has assumed her position. Her absence is never explained, but an old portrait with younger versions of her, Professor Oak, and Kurt can be seen in the latter's house.

In the anime

Main series

Agatha in the anime

Agatha appeared in The Scheme Team. Ash met her while traveling through Viridian City during his journey home to Pallet Town. Scott formally introduced her to Ash, and Agatha explained that she was acting as the temporary Gym Leader for the Viridian Gym until the true new Gym Leader would arrive. She uses Ghost Pokémon for the Gym.

Ash then challenged Agatha to a battle, hoping to demonstrate his strength to Scott. Despite being in the Top 8 of the recent Ever Grande Conference and putting up a good fight against Agatha, Ash lost to her Gengar. Despite that, both Agatha and Scott were impressed by Ash's technique, and Agatha revealed to Ash that she is a member of the Elite Four. She and Scott both recommended Ash to challenge the Battle Frontier and the Frontier Brains.

Team Rocket soon arrived, hoping to kidnap Pikachu, but Ash worked together with Agatha and her Golbat to send the trio blasting off. She then wished Ash the best for his upcoming Battle Frontier challenge and said that she would be rooting for him.

Character

Agatha is confident in battle and always looks forward to challenging a strong Trainer. In her match against Ash, she bade her time to observe Pikachu's movements before having her Gengar attack. Over time, she has developed an array of strategies to counter an opponent, such as when she used her Golbat's Supersonic to reflect Cacnea's Pin Missile rather than confusing it.

History

Past

When Agatha and Professor Oak were younger, Agatha met up with Oak during the Pokémon League and asked why he quit their "research group". He explained that he disagreed with their methods and wanted to create the Pokédex, which she thought was a stupid idea that would never be complete, and a battle ensued which Oak won. Agatha would soon face Oak again in the finals of the Pokémon League, which Oak barely won after a battle that lasted over eight hours. Agatha would end up developing a personal vendetta against him and anyone who associates with him.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Agatha debuted in a cameo when Professor Oak talked about his first championship win, which was against her in the finals. Agatha, along with the rest of the original Kanto Elite Four, physically debuted in A Charizard...and a Champion, where they were seen observing Red and Blue's battle at Indigo Plateau.

Yellow arc

Agatha was one of the main villains in this chapter; she was one of the Elite Four who tried to destroy most of humanity from their base on Cerise Island.

She was first seen trying to take away Super Nerd Miles after he was defeated by Yellow and the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto. She was then seen in a flashback during the events of the previous chapter where she battled Blue and attempted to kill him by having her Gengar use Dream Eater to suck away his energy. While encased in the Dream Eater's coffin, she told him of her vendetta against Professor Oak and anyone associated with him, which included Blue. He managed to escape with help from his Golduck, and a Haunter she stole from Camper Evan was also taken back. She then had her Gengar lead an army of Haunter to attack Cerulean City to delay Misty.

She fought Blue and Koga, revealing an Arbok with the ability to change the pattern on its belly and use different corresponding abilities. She decided to divide Koga and Blue using her Arbok's Rock Slide and she had her Golbat attack Blue. While Blue was distracted fighting Golbat, she had her Gengar use Lick on Blue's eyes, causing temporary blindness. After battling Koga's Arbok for a while Koga started throwing shuriken balls out of nowhere, which Agatha believed was a pitiful attempt to harm her but was really Koga's attempt to get a Paralyze Heal to Blue. After that Blue rejoined the battle and Koga used his Golbat's Leech Life to collect his own blood and smeared it on Arbok's pattern, preventing it from changing anymore. While Agatha was presumably beaten, her Arbok was reading itself to attack an unknowing Koga from behind, only to be stopped by Blue before it could land a Poison Sting attack. Agatha was subsequently defeated and seemingly vanished after her defeat, but not before she had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly drain their energy, which was defeated as well. She then revealed that she was the one controlling the Pokémon armies of her peers by using special wrist bands to control them.

Agatha used the mind-controlling powers of her Ghost-type Pokémon to control Bruno against his will. It is shown that she was the one who also recruited Lorelei by healing her Seel and then figuring out they have a common distaste of humans.

In said battle, Blue's Scyther was used to Slash Gastly into pieces.

None of Gastly's moves are known.

She is first seen as a Golbat, spying on Red as he boarded the Luxury Liner. After they boarded, Agatha transformed into a human. She took an interest in Clefairy. She does everything to get Clefairy to obey her. While on the ship, she caused the captain to collapse and made Clefairy the new captain. However, all of this turned out to be fake as Agatha was only interested in Clefairy because his blood seemed tasty. After she sucked Clefairy's blood, Red found out who she was as she transformed into a Golbat. However, the blood Agatha drained from Clefairy turned out to taste bad, and miniature versions of Clefairy escaped Agatha's Golbat body. She was last seen in the water after the Luxury Liner got destroyed.
