• Candice made her debut appearance in Classroom Training! where she was revealed to be a teacher in Snowpoint City's Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of Zoey and calls her by the nickname "Zo-Zo" (Japanese: ノゾチ Nozotchi).
• Ash battled her in a 4 on 4 battle in Sliding Into Seventh! where he was able to defeat her an earn himself his seventh Badge.
• She first appeared in a Pokémon Adventures manga when she saved Platinum after she was skiing on Route 217 and angered a pack of Graveler. Platinum then challenged her to a Gym battle and won.
• Candice has appeared on two TCG cards in the Rising Rivals set. She has yet to have her own card.
• Candice is the only Gym Leader from Sinnoh that Ash did not have a 3-on-3 battle with. Instead, it was a 4-on-4.
