Burgundy (Japanese: カベルネ Cabernet) is a recurring character of the Pokémon anime. She is a C-class Pokémon Connaisseuse and a rival of Cilan.

In the Anime

Burgundy was first seen in A Connoisseur's Revenge! working in a lavish Poké Mart, where she reveals her hatred for Cilan and goal to become an S class Connaisseuse. Burgundy reappears in Reunion Battles In Nimbasa! to participate in the Club Battle tournament. She is put up against Ash in her first battle where she reveals her new premium-brand, a Stoutland.

Character

Burgundy and her rival, Cilan

Burgundy can be somewhat of a brat, but she does mean well and loves her Pokémon dearly. Her ultimate goal is to become a great Connaisseuse as a result of her loss to Cilan. She also wishes to defeat him in order to obtain her revenge. Though, the reason for her revenge is often blown out of proportion. She is shown not to take criticism very well on several different occasions, particularly criticism from Cilan.

Burgundy can also be slightly abrasive when it comes to her job as seen when she told Ash to replace all of his Pokémon. Also, she can be too invasive with the Pokémon she evaluates causing them to attack her. When speaking, she tends to use an array of French words and phrases, some of which are mispronounced. This may be her attempting to appear elegant and graceful.

Though she pretends that she does not wish to learn anything from Cilan, Burgundy always pays the most attention to him when begins to evaluate as seen during the Club Battle tournament.

Pokémon

		Oshawott → Dewott
		Burgundy obtained Dewott when it was just an Oshawott. It lost to Cilan's Pansage in a Gym battle a long time ago. She later used Dewott to battle Cilan once more, only this time it battled with his Dwebble. Burgundy was confident that she would win with a type advantage. Dewott had good offensive attacks but could not break through Dwebble's strong defense. It quickly became fatigued, and Dwebble defeated it with a Shell Smash and X-Scissor combo. Dewott's known moves are Water Gun, Fury Cutter, Water Pulse and Razor Shell.
