Agatha
Agatha (Japanese: キクコ Kikuko) is a trainer of Ghost-type Pokémon, althogh most of her Pokémon are also of the Poison-type.
She is an elderly woman who uses a cane. Despite her age, she is a formidable opponent in Pokémon battles.
Her English name means "good and kind". However, it was most likely chosen because it's regarded as a name that only elderly women would have. It's also possible that she's named after Agatha Christie - the famous murder mystery novelist.
In the 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 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 has a very short temper.
Agatha is no longer a member of the Elite Four in Generation II, and reasons for her abscence are not explained - she's not mentioned at all. It's widely believed that she either finally retired due to old age, or passed away in the three-year gap between games.
