Greta appeared in one episode of the {{pkmn|anime}}. She's a spirited, tomboyish young girl who, much like Ash, is very passionate about Pokémon battles. She also runs a karate dojo as a parallel activity. According to [[Scott]], her role models are [[Chuck]] and [[Brawly]].
Greta's [[Character of the day|sole appearance]] was in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. Much like [[Ash Ketchum]], she's high-spirited and very passionate about Pokémon battles. As in the Emerald Version, she's the Frontier Brain of the Battle Arena, and runs a karate dojo. Unlike in the game, she's a {{type|Fighting|Fighting-type}} [[Type expert|expert]]. According to [[Scott]], her role models are [[Chuck]] and [[Brawly]]. Before the battle, a wheel is spun to decide how many Pokémon will be used. While battles are Single Battles, the other Pokémon intended to be used remain outside of their [[Poké Ball]] until they faint. She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]].

When [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] interrupted the battle, she was already aware of who they were. She used her Medicham to send them flying after one attack.

* She's the only female Frontier Brain of the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Hoenn Battle Frontier]] who did not gain a crush on one of the main characters in the anime.
* In the anime, she is shown to be teaching students karate skills, suggesting she could be a karate expert.
 
* Unlike her in-game counterpart, Greta's anime depiction takes her shoes off inside the Battle Arena and goes barefoot. Her sneakers merely streetwear, not part of her fighting attire, immediately ditched upon entering her dojo. Likewise, no one is allowed to enter the arena until they, too, are barefoot, in respect to dojo customs. [[Maylene]], another Fighting-type Gym Leader, hailing from the Sinnoh region, also goes barefoot in karate attire. However, Maylene is always barefoot, even outdoors.

"Hey! Howdy! ...Wait, are you the challenger?"
"Is this right? Hmm... Hmhm..."
"I don't know how to say it, but... To put it bluntly, you look pretty weak. Are you sure you're up for me? Hmm... Well, all right! We'll take things easy to start with! Okay! Let's see you ignite my passion for battle!"
  • Being defeated
"No way! Good job!"
  • If the player is defeated
"Oh, come on! You have to try harder than that!
  • After being defeated

Rematch

  • Before battle
"Hey! Howdy! You finally won your way up to me! I was getting worried waiting for you! I was really looking forward to seeing you again!"
"... ... ... So, are you ready?"
"I won't allow a halfhearted effort! Be ready for a thrashing! Come on, referee! Let's get this started!"
  • Being defeated
"Huh? Are you serious?!"
  • If the player is defeated
"Heheh! What did you expect?"
  • After being defeated
"Gaaah! Blown away! Let's see your Frontier Pass!"
"Arrrgh! This is so infuriating! If we ever battle again, I won't lose! Don't you forget it! Bye-bye!"

Greta in the anime

Greta's sole appearance was in Wheel of Frontier. Much like Ash Ketchum, she's high-spirited and very passionate about Pokémon battles. As in the Emerald Version, she's the Frontier Brain of the Battle Arena, and runs a karate dojo. Unlike in the game, she's a Fighting-type expert. According to Scott, her role models are Chuck and Brawly. Before the battle, a wheel is spun to decide how many Pokémon will be used. While battles are Single Battles, the other Pokémon intended to be used remain outside of their Poké Ball until they faint. She reappeared in a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!.

Greta used a Hariyama and Medicham in her battle against Ash. After a hard fought battle, Ash was able to win the Guts Symbol.

Pokémon

This listing is of Greta's known Pokémon in the anime:

Greta's Hariyama
Hariyama
Hariyama was the first Pokémon used by Greta in her battle with Ash, where it first battled with Ash's Grovyle. Despite that Grovyle managed to outmatch Hariyama in speed and deal some damage on it, Greta was finally able to use Grovyle's momentum as her own advantage, and land a critical hit on the Wood Gecko Pokémon, knocking it out.

Ash next used his Snorlax against the Arm Thrust Pokémon. Despite having disadvantage in type, Snorlax was able to keep itself safe from Hariyama's attacks by using Harden. Eventually, Hariyama was knocked out with an Ice Punch.

Hariyama's known moves are Arm Thrust and Focus Punch.

Greta's Medicham
Medicham
Greta chose Medicham, along with her Hariyama to battle Ash in Wheel of Frontier. It was the second to go up after Hariyama was defeated by Ash's Snorlax. Medicham overwhelmed Snorlax with its astounding speed and agility. With Ice Punch, Medicham was able to freeze Snorlax giving Greta a huge advantage.

Ash then commanded Snorlax to use Rest, and Greta told Medicham to attack Snorlax with repeated Focus Punches in order to break the ice. Greta told Medicham to use High Jump Kick but Snorlax managed to dodge it, causing Medicham to take some damage. Snorlax then tried to attack it with a Hyper Beam, but Medicham dodged it and hit it with Focus Punch.

Just when it seemed it was all over for Ash, he commanded Snorlax to use Hyper Beam on the ground which catapulted it into the air. Using its altitude to his advantage, Ash told it to attack with a full-on Body Slam, defeating Medicham and earning Ash the Guts Symbol.

It reappeared in a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!.

Medicham's known moves are Focus Punch, Ice Punch, and High Jump Kick.

Greta in the Pokémon Adventures manga

As in the games and other media, Greta is the leader of Battle Arena. She owns a Heracross, a Shedinja and an Umbreon. She is also an animator in the Battle Frontier. At first, she was antagonistic toward Emerald because he focused more of his attention to capturing Jirachi than fighting Guile Hideout, who had earlier attacked Noland. Believing he had no "guts," she rebuked him and said that her camaraderie toward fellow Brains mattered much more than some Phantom Pokémon, and charged at Guile. Before fighting the villain in the Artisan Cave, though, she insisted that she be the next Brain Emerald faces, and thus fought him in the Battle Arena shortly after the fight. Her Heracross succeeding in fighting Emerald's Sceptile evenly, and out-scored it, only to be defeated by the Fighting-type-immune Dusclops. Afterward, she called out her Umbreon, and defeated Dusclops before it, too, was beaten by a combination of the ghost's Will-O-Wisp and Sudowoodo's super-effective Low Kick. With there being one Pokémon left on each side, Greta sent out her final Pokémon, Shedinja, and commanded it to Endure in spite of knowing she would get outscored, because she believed battles should be finished the old-fashioned way. In the end, Sudowoodo was able to withstand Shedinja's final Solar Beam, and outscored, winning the battle. Greta handed out the Guts Symbol, having a shift in opinions of the boy.
