Phoebe (Japanese: フヨウ Fuyō) is a master Ghost-type trainer.

Contents

In the games

In Generation III, Phoebe is the second member of the Hoenn Elite Four.

Phoebe is the second of the Elite Four. Her strategy is to confuse and confound with Pokémon she considers undefinable.

Most of her five Pokémon are pure Ghosts, with the exception of Sableye. She apparently has a grandmother at Mt. Pyre and she hopes she's doing well. It is unknown who her grandmother is, but it is quite likely that she is the old lady the guards the Red Orb and the Blue Orb at the top of Mt. Pyre.

She also claims to have the ability to communicate with Ghost Pokémon, presumably in a similar fashion that Psychic trainers communicate with their Pokémon through telepathy (i.e. Anabel, Sabrina etc.)

Quotes

"Ahahaha! I'm Phoebe of the Elite Four. I did my training on Mt. Pyre. While I trained, I gained the ability to communicate 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!"

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

"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."

Trivia

  • Because of her skin tone and style of dress, there has been some fanon speculation over Phoebe's racial ancestry.
