Phoebe (Japanese: フヨウ Fuyō) is a Master Ghost-type Trainer and member of the Hoenn Elite Four.

In the games

In Generation III, Phoebe is the second member of the Hoenn Elite Four. Her strategy is to confuse and confound with Pokémon she considers indefinable.

Most of her Pokémon are pure Ghosts, with the exception of Sableye, which is half Dark-type. Her grandmother resides at Mt. Pyre, where she does most of her training, and Phoebe hopes she's doing well. While it is unknown who her grandmother is, it is quite likely that she is the old lady that guards the Red Orb and the Blue Orb at the top of the mountain.

She also claims to have the ability to communicate with Ghost Pokémon, presumably in a similar fashion that Psychic specialists like Anabel* and Sabrina communicate with their Pokémon through telepathy.

Quotes

• Before battle

"Ahahaha! I'm Phoebe of the Elite Four. I did my training on Mt. Pyre. While I trained, I gained the ability to commune with Ghost-type Pokémon. Yes, the bond I developed with Pokémon is extremely tight. So, come on, just try and see if you can even inflict damage on my Pokémon!"

• Being defeated

"Oh, darn. I've gone and lost."

• After being defeated

"There's a definite bond between you and your Pokémon, too. I didn't recognize it, so it's only natural that I lost. Yup, I'd like to see how far your bond will carry you. Go ahead, move to the next room."

• Over the PokéNav^E

"Hi, <player>. How about coming back here again sometime? I'd like to see much tighter your bond has grown with your Pokémon."

Training: "Hmmm, I see. I usually train here. Today I had planned to come see my grandma here, though. Well, good luck with your training! See you in the Pokémon League!"

Paying respects: "Oh, I see. That must be why my grandma was talking about you earlier. It looks like you made a lasting impression on my grandma. Well, I guess I'll be on my way. See you in the Pokémon League!"

Phoebe in Pokémon Adventures

Phoebe first appears with Steven and the other members of the Hoenn Elite Four. While the other Elite Four members are sent to awaken Registeel, Regirock, and Regice, Phoebe is sent to retrieve a blind boy that holds a slab that has the secret to awaken the three Pokémon. Later, she gives the slab to Steven, who manages to successfully unlock the secret of the slab and awaken the legendary Pokémon.

Later, Phoebe and Glacia control Regice in an attempt to restrain the power of Groudon and Kyogre that erupts from their great battle. When Steven dies from the strain of controlling the legendary golems, she mourns his death with the other Elite Four members.
