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.

Phoebe in Pokémon Adventures

Phoebe debuts in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. She and the other Elite Four members were called by Steven to help protect the Hoenn region from the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. While the other Elite Four are tasked with attempting to open the chambers containing the Legendary Pokémon Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, Phoebe goes to meet with a blind boy that holds a slab that has the secret to awaken the three Pokémon.

After the slab is translated and Steven manages to awaken the Legendary Pokémon, Phoebe is tasked with controlling Regice alongside Glacia. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Phoebe later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of Ruby's Celebi.
