'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]] to warn the {{player}} of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She will also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type|Ghost}}s and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to [[Generation VI]].

;[[Eterna City]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's [[Gym Leader]]! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my [[Gym]], no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

;[[Eterna Gym]]
* At the entrance of the Gym's maze{{sup/4|DP}}
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

* Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the {{type|Grass}} master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"''

* After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''
:''"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the [[HM|hidden move]] {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym [[Badge]]s, all Pokémon you received in [[trade]]s will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"''
:''"That [[TM86]] contains the [[move]] {{m|Grass Knot}}. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."''

* If talked to again
:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

;[[Eterna Forest]]
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"''
:''"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the [[Old Chateau]]. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

;[[Resort Area]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes! No time to waste!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, right. You must have plans already."''

;[[Villa]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
* Any of the following
:''"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."''
:''"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."''
:''"I could tell you ten good things about Grass-type Pokémon. Which kind of Pokémon can you say good things about? Ooh, maybe ten won't be enough."''
:''"Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"''
:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

* After buying Houseplants
:''"Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."''

;[[Battleground]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
'''Scenario 1'''
* Before battle
:''"Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"''
::'''No''': ''"You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"Oh? You do want to battle?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."''

'''Scenario 2'''
* Before battle
:''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"''
::'''No''': ''"Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"By the way... Have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... ...I'm here just for fun. Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|200px|Gardenia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gardenia debuted in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. She was first seen unsuccessfully attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} in the [[Eterna Forest]]. She then ran off to see [[Ash's Turtwig]], which she complimented. After that, Gardenia had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the [[Eterna City]] [[Gym Leader]] specialized in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but she refrained from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon [[recall]]ed it. She then sent out her own {{p|Turtwig}}, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and {{AP|Staravia}}.

Gardenia informed Ash, {{ashfr}}, and [[Cheryl]] that she knew about a {{p|Combee}} wall near some [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers, and she joined them during their search for the [[Amber Castle]]. The group was confronted by {{TRT}}, but instead of being horrified to learn they were thieves, Gardenia became infatuated with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} instead. She eventually decided to battle the trio after seeing [[Jessie's Seviper]], and also rescued [[Cheryl's Mothim]]. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a {{p|Nuzleaf}} regarding some urgent business.

Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia again at the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Gardenia instantly recognized [[Nando]], who had been apprehended by [[Officer Jenny]] on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped recover the stolen item in question, the [[Adamant Orb]], which had actually been stolen by Team Rocket.

Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. {{AP|Turtwig}} went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was recalled. Staravia then defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}}, Ash defeated it with his own Turtwig. Next, {{p|Roserade}} defeated Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later, it was defeated by {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} combination, thus earning Ash the {{Badge|Forest}}.

Gardenia visited [[Emeragrove Town]] to promote Pokémon battling in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''. She took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]], where they went up against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea as it used {{m|Drain Punch}} for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon, Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where {{an|Barry}} revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Character===
Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on [[harsh sunlight]], which increases the power of [[move]]s like {{m|Solar Beam}} or {{m|Weather Ball}}, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.

Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to the [[Eterna Forest]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} new Pokémon that she could train. She is also prepared to [[trade]] for {{type|Grass}}s she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to such an extent that she did not take {{TRT}} seriously, due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.

|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} was first seen in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'' when Gardenia used it in an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]]. It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's [[Gym]] battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its {{a|Chlorophyll|high speed}} and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Solar Beam}}, and its Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|vajp=Miyako Itō
|vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach
|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}} was first seen when it battled [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia}}. It had great speed and power, especially in regards to its Leech Seed attack. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the match. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

During Ash's [[Gym]] battle, Gardenia used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's own Turtwig after a fierce round. Turtwig reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', where it was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James's Cacnea]], but it was defeated by [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]'s {{m|Spark}}.

[[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

|desc={{p|Roserade}} was the final Pokémon used by Gardenia against {{Ash}}. It was able to easily knock out Turtwig using a {{m|Weather Ball}} powered by the bright sun. When it went up against Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, it was unable to keep up with the active Pokémon. It was eventually knocked out with a combination of {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Swift}}.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Roserade briefly appeared alongside Gardenia during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Roserade's known moves are {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, and {{m|Flash}}.}}

|desc=Gardenia first met {{p|Cacnea}} in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', when it was sent out by [[James]]. Gardenia was automatically attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Later, in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against {{an|Barry}}, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.}}

====Mentioned====
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Gardenia mentioned that she has a {{p|Bellossom}}, a {{p|Vileplume}}, and a {{p|Victreebel}} when she wanted to [[trade]] one of her Pokémon for [[James's Carnivine]].

==In the manga==
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a [[Double Battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.

Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced [[Mars]] and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by [[Cyrus]], Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

Since the opponent's chosen Pokémon could use Fire and Ice attacks, Gardenia used the wide area of her plain grass Gym to not being hit by those type of attacks. As a distance-attack technique, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly injured Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's {{m|Grass Knot}} (which was more powerful upon {{p|Piplup}}'s evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her {{m|Blizzard}} in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at-distance attack.

Cherubi's only known move is {{m|Grass Knot}}, and her Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

====Pokémon====

It went up against his {{TP|Hareta|Shinx}} and was able to put up a great fight as it was finished off with {{p|Shinx}}'s {{m|Bite}}. It was revealed that Cherubi used Leech Seed as part of the laid-out traps when [[Hareta's Piplup]] got to battle.

Cherubi's only known move is {{m|Leech Seed}}.}}

|desc={{p|Roserade}} is Gardenia's strongest Pokémon. It was the third Pokémon used in the Gym battle. It managed to defeat Hareta's Shinx due to the trap that her Turtwig set up. It also battled with {{p|Misdreavus}} where Misdreavus used {{m|Spite}} to lower the PP of Magical Leaf. Misdreavus too got defeated by Roserade which left {{TP|Hareta|Piplup}} as the last Pokémon. After narrowly dodging Roserade's attacks, Piplup won the battle with an airborne {{m|Peck}} as Roserade could no longer use Magical Leaf to protect itself.

Roserade's only known move is {{m|Magical Leaf}}.}}

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
Gardenia makes an appearance in a flashback in [[PMDP07]] of the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga.

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] {{m|Grass Knot|move}} when battled in the [[Battleground]].
* Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the series that uses a fully evolved stage three Pokémon. Misty and Lenora [[Misty's Starmie|both]] {{p|Watchog|have}} fully evolved Pokémon as well, though both have only two stages.
* Gardenia is said to be afraid of the possibility of the existence of a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], four Pokémon with this type combination were introduced: {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, {{p|Gourgeist}}, {{p|Phantump}}, and {{p|Trevenant}}. [[Generation VII]] introduced two more with {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Dhelmise}}.
* Gardenia is the only [[Gym Leader]] who battles using a [[starter Pokémon]] that is available to the player in the same game.

== Voice actors ==

Hey! Please do not remove or replace voice actors without a source. To get one, you can contact a voice actor directly via social media, if they have any. Simply going by credits or playing by ear, as well as Behind the Voice Actors and IMDb, are not valid sources. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

:Playing by ear does count when COMPARING BOTH DUBS of the show. Cause if you don't you'll make dumb mistakes. Need I mention Tobias' Latios? {{unsigned|Marvelfan2011}}

::That's still unconfirmed. Have you contacted Knotz about this? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:41, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

:::If it's unconfirmed, why put it there?

== Signature policy ==

Hey! Whenever you post on any kind of talk page, please sign your post by typing in four tildes (~). It's policy to do so. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:32, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

:You're ''still'' not signing your posts. Please do so. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:41, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

== Linking to stream sites ==

Please don't link full episodes on stream sites, they breach copyright and could land us in trouble if we were to link to them. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:37, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

== Source? ==

Why are you changing Gardenia's Cherubi's English voice actor constantly without providing a source? And what is your source. Just because you think it sounds like that isn't enough. You must have a reliable source to back up your claim. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:40, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

:Fine. Here's my sources. Compare the Cherubi voices from both dubs and then say I'm wrong. {{unsigned|Marvelfan2011}}

:And just because Knotz voiced a Cherubi in a future episode does not mean she voiced another in a past episode. This is why I prefer watching the Japanese dub for voice actor comparison. {{unsigned|Marvelfan2011}}

::Doing voice comparisons by ear isn't considered reliable enough here. So no. Also, remember to sign your talk page posts. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

:::Yes it does. Otherwise you'll make dumb mistakes. Like Knotz voicing Tobias' Latios in the English dub. Which she didn't. {{unsigned|Marvelfan2011}}

::::Well, that's not how we do things here. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

:::::Well you guys should. If a voice does not sound right compare both voices of the dub. Otherwise you made a dumb mistake. {{unsigned|Marvelfan2011}}

::::::Nope. Your way is completely unreliable and could lead to even more dumb mistakes. We need verification from the VAs themselves. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:43, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

:::::::You want dumb? Cruise originally under the Take Down anime section when it was a dub error. My way is perfect. Because if it doesn't sound right, I compare both dubs. You guys just rely on the facts. {{unsigned|Marvelfan2011}}

::::::::Yes, we rely on the facts...because they're the ''facts''... Also, for the last time, PLEASE SIGN YOUR POSTS. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:49, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

== A few things ==

*Firstly, we do '''''NOT''''' play by ear. That method is way too prone for error, as other voice actors can make voices that sound very similar to the original. You '''''MUST'''''' contact a voice actor via social media (if they have any), otherwise do '''''NOT''''' change them.
*Secondly, abide by the {{bp|Code of Conduct}}, be civil with other users and do not call them "dumb". Users are expected to be resolve conflicts without resorting to name calling.
*Thirdly, do '''''NOT''''' link to stream sites that host Pokémon episodes as they are '''''ILLEGAL'''''' and breach '''''copyright''''', which could land us in trouble.
*Fourth, please sign your comments with four tildes (`), or by clicking on the signature button above the edit box.
If you continue to change voice actors and citing "it sounds the same", link to stream sites, or be aggressive to other users, you will be given an indefinite block. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:30, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]] to warn the {{player}} of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She will also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type|Ghost}}s and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to [[Generation VI]].

;[[Eterna City]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's [[Gym Leader]]! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my [[Gym]], no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

;[[Eterna Gym]]
* At the entrance of the Gym's maze{{sup/4|DP}}
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

* Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the {{type|Grass}} master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"''

* After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''
:''"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the [[HM|hidden move]] {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym [[Badge]]s, all Pokémon you received in [[trade]]s will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"''
:''"That [[TM86]] contains the [[move]] {{m|Grass Knot}}. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."''

* If talked to again
:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

;[[Eterna Forest]]
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"''
:''"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the [[Old Chateau]]. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

;[[Resort Area]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes! No time to waste!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, right. You must have plans already."''

;[[Villa]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
* Any of the following
:''"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."''
:''"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."''
:''"I could tell you ten good things about Grass-type Pokémon. Which kind of Pokémon can you say good things about? Ooh, maybe ten won't be enough."''
:''"Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"''
:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

* After buying Houseplants
:''"Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."''

;[[Battleground]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
'''Scenario 1'''
* Before battle
:''"Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"''
::'''No''': ''"You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"Oh? You do want to battle?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."''

'''Scenario 2'''
* Before battle
:''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"''
::'''No''': ''"Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"By the way... Have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... ...I'm here just for fun. Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|200px|Gardenia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gardenia debuted in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. She was first seen unsuccessfully attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} in the [[Eterna Forest]]. She then ran off to see [[Ash's Turtwig]], which she complimented. After that, Gardenia had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the [[Eterna City]] [[Gym Leader]] specialized in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but she refrained from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon [[recall]]ed it. She then sent out her own {{p|Turtwig}}, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and {{AP|Staravia}}.

Gardenia informed Ash, {{ashfr}}, and [[Cheryl]] that she knew about a {{p|Combee}} wall near some [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers, and she joined them during their search for the [[Amber Castle]]. The group was confronted by {{TRT}}, but instead of being horrified to learn they were thieves, Gardenia became infatuated with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} instead. She eventually decided to battle the trio after seeing [[Jessie's Seviper]], and also rescued [[Cheryl's Mothim]]. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a {{p|Nuzleaf}} regarding some urgent business.

Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia again at the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Gardenia instantly recognized [[Nando]], who had been apprehended by [[Officer Jenny]] on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped recover the stolen item in question, the [[Adamant Orb]], which had actually been stolen by Team Rocket.

Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. {{AP|Turtwig}} went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was recalled. Staravia then defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}}, Ash defeated it with his own Turtwig. Next, {{p|Roserade}} defeated Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later, it was defeated by {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} combination, thus earning Ash the {{Badge|Forest}}.

Gardenia visited [[Emeragrove Town]] to promote Pokémon battling in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''. She took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]], where they went up against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea as it used {{m|Drain Punch}} for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon, Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where {{an|Barry}} revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Character===
Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on [[harsh sunlight]], which increases the power of [[move]]s like {{m|Solar Beam}} or {{m|Weather Ball}}, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.

Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to the [[Eterna Forest]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} new Pokémon that she could train. She is also prepared to [[trade]] for {{type|Grass}}s she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to such an extent that she did not take {{TRT}} seriously, due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.

|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} was first seen in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'' when Gardenia used it in an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]]. It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's [[Gym]] battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its {{a|Chlorophyll|high speed}} and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Solar Beam}}, and its Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

|vajp=Miyako Itō
|vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach
|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}} was first seen when it battled [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia}}. It had great speed and power, especially in regards to its Leech Seed attack. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the match. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

During Ash's [[Gym]] battle, Gardenia used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's own Turtwig after a fierce round. Turtwig reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', where it was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James's Cacnea]], but it was defeated by [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]'s {{m|Spark}}.

[[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

|desc={{p|Roserade}} was the final Pokémon used by Gardenia against {{Ash}}. It was able to easily knock out Turtwig using a {{m|Weather Ball}} powered by the bright sun. When it went up against Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, it was unable to keep up with the active Pokémon. It was eventually knocked out with a combination of {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Swift}}.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Roserade briefly appeared alongside Gardenia during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Roserade's known moves are {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, and {{m|Flash}}.}}

|desc=Gardenia first met {{p|Cacnea}} in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', when it was sent out by [[James]]. Gardenia was automatically attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Later, in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against {{an|Barry}}, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.}}

====Mentioned====
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Gardenia mentioned that she has a {{p|Bellossom}}, a {{p|Vileplume}}, and a {{p|Victreebel}} when she wanted to [[trade]] one of her Pokémon for [[James's Carnivine]].

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a [[Double Battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.

Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced [[Mars]] and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by [[Cyrus]], Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

After being attacked by Cherubi's {{m|Grass Knot}} (which was more powerful upon {{p|Piplup}}'s evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her {{m|Blizzard}} in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at-distance attack.

Cherubi's only known move is {{m|Grass Knot}}, and her Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

It also battled with {{p|Misdreavus}} where Misdreavus used {{m|Spite}} to lower the PP of Magical Leaf. Misdreavus too got defeated by Roserade which left {{TP|Hareta|Piplup}} as the last Pokémon. After narrowly dodging Roserade's attacks, Piplup won the battle with an airborne {{m|Peck}} as Roserade could no longer use Magical Leaf to protect itself.

Roserade's only known move is {{m|Magical Leaf}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] {{m|Grass Knot|move}} when battled in the [[Battleground]].
* Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the series that uses a fully evolved stage three Pokémon. Misty and Lenora [[Misty's Starmie|both]] {{p|Watchog|have}} fully evolved Pokémon as well, though both have only two stages.
* Gardenia is said to be afraid of the possibility of the existence of a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], four Pokémon with this type combination were introduced: {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, {{p|Gourgeist}}, {{p|Phantump}}, and {{p|Trevenant}}. [[Generation VII]] introduced two more with {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Dhelmise}}.
* Gardenia is the only [[Gym Leader]] who battles using a [[starter Pokémon]] that is available to the player in the same game.

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]] to warn the {{player}} of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She will also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type|Ghost}}s and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to [[Generation VI]].

;[[Eterna City]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's [[Gym Leader]]! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my [[Gym]], no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

;[[Eterna Gym]]
* At the entrance of the Gym's maze{{sup/4|DP}}
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

* Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the {{type|Grass}} master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"''

* After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''
:''"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the [[HM|hidden move]] {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym [[Badge]]s, all Pokémon you received in [[trade]]s will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"''
:''"That [[TM86]] contains the [[move]] {{m|Grass Knot}}. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."''

* If talked to again
:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

;[[Eterna Forest]]
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"''
:''"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the [[Old Chateau]]. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

;[[Resort Area]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes! No time to waste!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, right. You must have plans already."''

;[[Villa]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
* Any of the following
:''"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."''
:''"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."''
:''"I could tell you ten good things about Grass-type Pokémon. Which kind of Pokémon can you say good things about? Ooh, maybe ten won't be enough."''
:''"Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"''
:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

* After buying Houseplants
:''"Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."''

;[[Battleground]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
'''Scenario 1'''
* Before battle
:''"Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"''
::'''No''': ''"You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"Oh? You do want to battle?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."''

'''Scenario 2'''
* Before battle
:''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"''
::'''No''': ''"Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"By the way... Have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... ...I'm here just for fun. Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|200px|Gardenia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gardenia debuted in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. She was first seen unsuccessfully attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} in the [[Eterna Forest]]. She then ran off to see [[Ash's Turtwig]], which she complimented. After that, Gardenia had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the [[Eterna City]] [[Gym Leader]] specialized in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but she refrained from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon [[recall]]ed it. She then sent out her own {{p|Turtwig}}, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and {{AP|Staravia}}.

Gardenia informed Ash, {{ashfr}}, and [[Cheryl]] that she knew about a {{p|Combee}} wall near some [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers, and she joined them during their search for the [[Amber Castle]]. The group was confronted by {{TRT}}, but instead of being horrified to learn they were thieves, Gardenia became infatuated with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} instead. She eventually decided to battle the trio after seeing [[Jessie's Seviper]], and also rescued [[Cheryl's Mothim]]. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a {{p|Nuzleaf}} regarding some urgent business.

Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia again at the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Gardenia instantly recognized [[Nando]], who had been apprehended by [[Officer Jenny]] on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped recover the stolen item in question, the [[Adamant Orb]], which had actually been stolen by Team Rocket.

[[File:James and Gardenia.png|thumb|left|220px|James giving Cacnea to Gardenia]]
Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. {{AP|Turtwig}} went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was recalled. Staravia then defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}}, Ash defeated it with his own Turtwig. Next, {{p|Roserade}} defeated Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later, it was defeated by {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} combination, thus earning Ash the {{Badge|Forest}}.

Gardenia visited [[Emeragrove Town]] to promote Pokémon battling in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''. She took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]], where they went up against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea as it used {{m|Drain Punch}} for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon, Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where {{an|Barry}} revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Character===
Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on [[harsh sunlight]], which increases the power of [[move]]s like {{m|Solar Beam}} or {{m|Weather Ball}}, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.

Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to the [[Eterna Forest]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} new Pokémon that she could train. She is also prepared to [[trade]] for {{type|Grass}}s she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to such an extent that she did not take {{TRT}} seriously, due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.

|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} was first seen in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'' when Gardenia used it in an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]]. It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's [[Gym]] battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its {{a|Chlorophyll|high speed}} and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Solar Beam}}, and its Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

|vajp=Miyako Itō
|vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach
|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}} was first seen when it battled [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia}}. It had great speed and power, especially in regards to its Leech Seed attack. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the match. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

During Ash's [[Gym]] battle, Gardenia used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's own Turtwig after a fierce round. Turtwig reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', where it was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James's Cacnea]], but it was defeated by [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]'s {{m|Spark}}.

[[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

When it went up against Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, it was unable to keep up with the active Pokémon. It was eventually knocked out with a combination of {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Swift}}.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Roserade briefly appeared alongside Gardenia during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Roserade's known moves are {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, and {{m|Flash}}.}}

|desc=Gardenia first met {{p|Cacnea}} in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', when it was sent out by [[James]]. Gardenia was automatically attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Later, in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against {{an|Barry}}, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.}}

====Mentioned====
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Gardenia mentioned that she has a {{p|Bellossom}}, a {{p|Vileplume}}, and a {{p|Victreebel}} when she wanted to [[trade]] one of her Pokémon for [[James's Carnivine]].

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a [[Double Battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.

Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced [[Mars]] and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by [[Cyrus]], Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] {{m|Grass Knot|move}} when battled in the [[Battleground]].
* Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the series that uses a fully evolved stage three Pokémon. Misty and Lenora [[Misty's Starmie|both]] {{p|Watchog|have}} fully evolved Pokémon as well, though both have only two stages.
* Gardenia is said to be afraid of the possibility of the existence of a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], four Pokémon with this type combination were introduced: {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, {{p|Gourgeist}}, {{p|Phantump}}, and {{p|Trevenant}}. [[Generation VII]] introduced two more with {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Dhelmise}}.
* Gardenia is the only [[Gym Leader]] who battles using a [[starter Pokémon]] that is available to the player in the same game.

'''Take Down''' (Japanese: '''とっしん''' ''Charge'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM09]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Take Down does damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to 25% of the damage done to the opponent.

If the user of Take Down attacks first and faints due to recoil damage, the opponent will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

Self-inflicted recoil damage from Take Down from the previous turn can be countered if the opponent does not make a move on the following turn. If Take Down breaks a substitute, the user will take no recoil damage.

In Stadium, no recoil damage is taken if Take Down knocks out an opponent.

===Generation II onwards===
The user now receives recoil damage even if a substitute breaks.

Take Down can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra six appeal points if either {{m|Focus Energy}} or {{m|Harden}} was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Take Down inflicts damage to the enemy and the user receives recoil. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] and {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the recoil damage is 10% of the user's max HP, rather than being affected by the damage dealt to the enemy.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In [[Super Smash Bros.]], a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} will fly diagonally across the screen using Take Down when summoned from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The Beedrill are replaced by {{p|Unown}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]; the Unown can fly across the screen from any direction.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], {{p|Eevee}} is a Poké Ball Pokémon that uses Take Down by running back and forth across the stage, throwing itself at fighters.

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]] to warn the {{player}} of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She will also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type|Ghost}}s and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to [[Generation VI]].

;[[Eterna City]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's [[Gym Leader]]! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my [[Gym]], no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

;[[Eterna Gym]]
* At the entrance of the Gym's maze{{sup/4|DP}}
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

* Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the {{type|Grass}} master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"''

* After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''
:''"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the [[HM|hidden move]] {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym [[Badge]]s, all Pokémon you received in [[trade]]s will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"''
:''"That [[TM86]] contains the [[move]] {{m|Grass Knot}}. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."''

* If talked to again
:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

;[[Eterna Forest]]
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"''
:''"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the [[Old Chateau]]. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

;[[Resort Area]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes! No time to waste!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, right. You must have plans already."''

;[[Villa]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
* Any of the following
:''"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."''
:''"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."''
:''"I could tell you ten good things about Grass-type Pokémon. Which kind of Pokémon can you say good things about? Ooh, maybe ten won't be enough."''
:''"Do you remember those rumors about the Old Chateau? They say there really were ghost Pokémon there in the old days. ...That's so scary. What if they suddenly came back?"''
:''"...I'm in a dilemma now. You see, I don't like ghost Pokémon very much. But, what if... What if there was a Grass-type ghost Pokémon? What then?"''

* After buying Houseplants
:''"Oh, hey! A Houseplant! It's really nice. Maybe I'll get some for my Gym. The green coloring and the aroma... It's very nice."''

;[[Battleground]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
'''Scenario 1'''
* Before battle
:''"Hi, have you been keeping well? Let's cut to the good stuff! Let's get down to battle!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that's right! A battle will tell you if someone you haven't seen's been keeping well!"''
::'''No''': ''"You won't battle? You're not in the mood, huh? Well, why not polish your Badges, then? That might put a shine on your day, too."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"Oh? You do want to battle?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"Out of the Gym, a Gym Leader is just another Trainer. But wherever I go, I still try to be as tough as I can. It's not fair to my Pokémon if we were to lose because of me."''

'''Scenario 2'''
* Before battle
:''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. I'm kind of interested in what Pokémon you have, too. Want to battle? A real quick one?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I can't deny that Grass-type Pokémon have many weak points. But I'll show you that's not the only factor in deciding who wins!"''
::'''No''': ''"Aww, really? My grass Pokémon are growing good and strong too..."''
::'''If talked to again after the player answered "No"''': ''"My Grass-type Pokémon are growing good and strong. Come on, let's battle! A real quick one, OK?"''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"By the way... Have you been to the Old Chateau? Me? Uh, well, you know, I have my Gym Leader job and all, so... Well, actually, I'm here training... ...I'm here just for fun. Ahahaha! Don't mind me!"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|200px|Gardenia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gardenia debuted in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. She was first seen unsuccessfully attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} in the [[Eterna Forest]]. She then ran off to see [[Ash's Turtwig]], which she complimented. After that, Gardenia had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the [[Eterna City]] [[Gym Leader]] specialized in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but she refrained from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon [[recall]]ed it. She then sent out her own {{p|Turtwig}}, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and {{AP|Staravia}}.

Gardenia informed Ash, {{ashfr}}, and [[Cheryl]] that she knew about a {{p|Combee}} wall near some [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers, and she joined them during their search for the [[Amber Castle]]. The group was confronted by {{TRT}}, but instead of being horrified to learn they were thieves, Gardenia became infatuated with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}} instead. She eventually decided to battle the trio after seeing [[Jessie's Seviper]], and also rescued [[Cheryl's Mothim]]. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a {{p|Nuzleaf}} regarding some urgent business.

Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia again at the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Gardenia instantly recognized [[Nando]], who had been apprehended by [[Officer Jenny]] on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped recover the stolen item in question, the [[Adamant Orb]], which had actually been stolen by Team Rocket.

[[File:James and Gardenia.png|thumb|left|220px|James giving Cacnea to Gardenia]]
Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. {{AP|Turtwig}} went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was recalled. Staravia then defeated Cherubi. After Staravia was defeated by Gardenia's Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}}, Ash defeated it with his own Turtwig. Next, {{p|Roserade}} defeated Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later, it was defeated by {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} combination, thus earning Ash the {{Badge|Forest}}.

Gardenia visited [[Emeragrove Town]] to promote Pokémon battling in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]''. She took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]], where they went up against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea as it used {{m|Drain Punch}} for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon, Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where {{an|Barry}} revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Character===
Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on [[harsh sunlight]], which increases the power of [[move]]s like {{m|Solar Beam}} or {{m|Weather Ball}}, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.

Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to the [[Eterna Forest]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} new Pokémon that she could train. She is also prepared to [[trade]] for {{type|Grass}}s she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to such an extent that she did not take {{TRT}} seriously, due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.

|epname=The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!
|vajp=Chinami Nishimura
|vaen=Chinami Nishimura
|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} was first seen in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'' when Gardenia used it in an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]]. It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's [[Gym]] battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its {{a|Chlorophyll|high speed}} and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Solar Beam}}, and its Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|img=Gardenia Turtwig.png
|epnum=DP031
|epname=The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!
|vajp=Miyako Itō
|vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach
|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}} was first seen when it battled [[Ash's Turtwig]] and {{AP|Staravia}}. It had great speed and power, especially in regards to its Leech Seed attack. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the match. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

During Ash's [[Gym]] battle, Gardenia used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's own Turtwig after a fierce round. Turtwig reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', where it was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James's Cacnea]], but it was defeated by [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]'s {{m|Spark}}.

[[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

Later, in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against {{an|Barry}}, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.}}

====Mentioned====
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Gardenia mentioned that she has a {{p|Bellossom}}, a {{p|Vileplume}}, and a {{p|Victreebel}} when she wanted to [[trade]] one of her Pokémon for [[James's Carnivine]].

==In the manga==
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a [[Double Battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.

Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced [[Mars]] and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by [[Cyrus]], Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

As a distance-attack technique, Roserade used her poisonous vines under the arena, who defeated Ponyta and badly injured Prinplup. After being attacked by Cherubi's {{m|Grass Knot}} (which was more powerful upon {{p|Piplup}}'s evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her {{m|Blizzard}} in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at-distance attack.

Cherubi's only known move is {{m|Grass Knot}}, and her Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

After narrowly dodging Roserade's attacks, Piplup won the battle with an airborne {{m|Peck}} as Roserade could no longer use Magical Leaf to protect itself.

Roserade's only known move is {{m|Magical Leaf}}.}}

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
Gardenia makes an appearance in a flashback in [[PMDP07]] of the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga.

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] {{m|Grass Knot|move}} when battled in the [[Battleground]].
* Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the series that uses a fully evolved stage three Pokémon. Misty and Lenora [[Misty's Starmie|both]] {{p|Watchog|have}} fully evolved Pokémon as well, though both have only two stages.
* Gardenia is said to be afraid of the possibility of the existence of a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], four Pokémon with this type combination were introduced: {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, {{p|Gourgeist}}, {{p|Phantump}}, and {{p|Trevenant}}. [[Generation VII]] introduced two more with {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Dhelmise}}.
* Gardenia is the only [[Gym Leader]] who battles using a [[starter Pokémon]] that is available to the player in the same game.

== Signing ==
Please remember to always sign your comments. You can sign your comments with 4 tildes (~) or clicking the signature stamp ([[File:Signature button.png]]) on the top of the edit box. It should also be noted that once your comment has been marked as unsigned, you cannot replace it with your signature as it will give off the wrong time stamp. Thank you for taking your time to read this message, have a good day. {{unsigned|Force Fire}}
:Again, please sign your comments with four tildes or by clicking the signature button above the edit box. Thank you. {{unsigned|Force Fire}}

== Sources ==

== Unsigned ==

Please don't re-sign and unsigned signature, it will give off the wrong timestamp. Manually typing in the correst timestamp won't do either.

== VA sources ==

Once more, if you are adding English voice actors, you must attest a source, ''always''. Please try not to forget. Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:14, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

== English actor suggestion ==

If you find the English actor of Sliggoo and Heliolisk, let me know which website to go.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 17:32, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 20:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

== Succeed ==

Thanks for finding the English actor for Sliggoo and Goodra. I knew it was Tom Wayland, but nobody didn't believe. And I was having trouble finding a source and contacting him.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 12:56, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
:You're welcome, I had a feeling it was Tom Wayland as well but thought I would wait until Goodra's return before enquiring with Lisa Ortiz--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Hello! I noticed you have a list of voice actors in your user page, and while this is not at all a problem, I thought I'd inform you that you can create subpages of your user page for things like this--e.g., [[User:BigDocFan/List of VAs]] would be a good place to put a list of voice actors, if you'd prefer not to clutter up your userpage. User subpages, if intended to be put in the mainspace, are also ''candidates'' for exemption from the userspace edit limit (though they are only candidates, and you have to get permission from an editorial board member, I believe, for exemption). Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't! --[[User:Xolroc|Felthry]] (F.K.A. Xolroc) ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:34, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
:I didn't know how to create subpages, thank you so much, I would hate to get in trouble with admin--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:35, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
::Hey, that's fine. You're not in any trouble now--just remember those subpages count towards your three-edit limit too unless you talk to an editorial board member and get an exemption! --[[User:Xolroc|Felthry]] (F.K.A. Xolroc) ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:54, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

I've seen you using link templates before, so I think you already know what they are. I just wanted to remind you to make use of them when appropriate (<code><nowiki>{{p|Dragonite}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Dragonite]]</nowiki></code>), and to let you know about templates that you might not be aware of: {{template|Ash}} for linking directly to [[Ash Ketchum]], {{template|MTR}} for linking directly to [[Meowth (Team Rocket)]] (no TR template needed!), and {{template|an}} for linking to character pages with the (anime) suffix.

== Re:Cleanup ==

For example, you don't use commas when they would be needed, you tend to make quite a lot of grammatical errors, and overall, the synopsis you write tend to be in pretty rough English. You should ALWAYS use the preview button to make sure you don't do any mistakes you could avoid. For example, earlier today you wrote that Gladion kept his Umbreon inside an Ultra Ball, even thought its ''Lycanroc'' seen coming out of the ball. Also, your edit at {{m|Continental Crush}} felt rushed and incomplete. Don't start making edits you know you can't do properly or fully. PS. I may be rambling a bit here, the quality of your edits has just gotten on my nerves multiple times. But I guess you're still just learning. Let's hope you'll get better as time goes on. Hopefully... --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:15, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

== Characters ==

Please don't create pages of characters that have not debuted yet, even if you aren't around to create them. That is not a good enough reason. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 08:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

== Notability requirements ==

Please familiarize yourself with the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime#Notability requirements|notability requirements]]. A Pokémon needs to do more than just appear twice to be noted, it must have some sort of impact on the plot. The Garden Pokémon had no impact on the plot, they just appeared.

== Who voiced Chesnaught in M19? ==

Hi BigDoc, I was making a list of characters/actors for [[M19]] and I noticed that you put both [[Suzy Myers]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] as {{p|Chesnaught}}. Did they both voice Chesnaught, or was this a mistake?

== Episode airing times ==

::User pages are usually create by people who wish for them to be main spaced or who think they are important enough to get a page under a user, so creating one for a character who we know nothing about or if the character will appear again is kind of weird.

:::I do so will remember for future reference--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

== Character pages ==

Hey. Please don't create pages for anime characters unless you have some info to add. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dana_(SM041) This] is really too barebones. Redlinks aren't necessarily a bad thing. It's better to have a redlink than a page that contains almost nothing. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 12:50, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

== Episode Plots ==

The plot you wrote are awesome. Sometimes however, the sentence you wrote are too long and difficult to read. Just like when you read, too long of a sentence takes the breath out of you. "When", "As", "Because" are some phrases you often use to join these sentences but making them too long. If I make sense. XD

An example would be "Inside the school grounds, Ash asks Rotom what kind of Pokémon live on Akala Island but as Rotom does a search, he is hit by a Tauros which sends him flying as Charizard lands in front of Tauros to stop him as its trainer and Kiawe arrive with Kiawe telling Charizard to keep holding on as his classmates look on as Ash lands on the ground."

You can instead write it as "Inside the school grounds, Ash asks Rotom what kind of Pokémon live on Akala Island (period) As Rotom does a search, he is hit by a Tauros which sends him flying (period) As Charizard lands in front of Tauros to stop him, its Trainer and Kiawe arrive (period) Kiawe tells Charizard to keep holding on as his classmates look on as Ash lands on the ground (period)"

This is so much more comfortable to read. Haha, you can what I mean? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 11:29, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

:Agreed. The sentences are overly long and can benefit from being split off into multiple sentences. Also, I think I might've seen some grammatical errors along the way, but I cannot recall any specific examples. Whatever the case, I gave up trying to improve the plot of [[SM030]] and tagged it, along with other episodes' plot sections you had a significant amount of contributions to, with a cleanup template. Hopefully you and/or other users can resume where I left off. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:49, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

== A Theory on Clemont's Heliolisk's voice ==

Hey BigDoc, I have something I want to share with you, and It's about Clemont's Heliolisk. We now it was voiced by Ryan William Downey, but I think it previous might have been voiced by Tom Wayland. On your page for him, it mentions Ryan joined the series during season 18, which makes sense as all his characters appeared in season 18 or after that, EXCEPT Clemont's Heliolisk (who first appeared in season 17). And if it was someone else, there would be no reason to recast them (the only other actor who left in season 18 was [[Jennifer Forziati-DaCosta]]). [[User:Super10ZX|Super10ZX]] ([[User talk:Super10ZX|talk]]) 17:26, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
:As far as I can tell, [[S18]] was Downey's debut unless I'm mistaken, Tom Wayland could have voiced Heliolisk before he was sacked but sadly this can't be confirmed.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

== Preview button ==

Please make sure to use the preview button, even when adding multiple images to a section. I'm sure you're excited to back on the wiki again, but [[Special:Diff/2718873/2719669|this]] shouldn't take 10 edits. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 11:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

== Pre-airing edits ==

Hi. I want to let you know, I've been asking people not to hide information about an episode on any page except the episode page before it airs. So that means refraining from [[Special:Diff/2769612|your edit here]] adding hidden templates for Nanu's Pokemon that were expected for SM073/74. That hidden info has just now resulted in a minor edit war, and that's a pattern that has happened several times previously as well. As far as I'm concerned, that all adds up to more of a hassle than it's otherwise worth. It'll be much cleaner if people just add the info fully and with much less room for argument once the episode airs.

So, please confine pre-airing edits of hidden information to an episode's page. Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:44, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

== Annice Moriarty ==

hello
I am currently working on fixing a mistake that has been made in regards to the Ugandan-American voice actress {{red link|Annice Moriarty}}, a woman that some in the anime communities have mistaken for a similar sounding voice actress named [[Kether Donohue]]
I'm wondering if you can help me migrate the page over to {{red link|Annice Moriarty}} as they are not the same person at all.
I've looked all over the internet, and I am unable to find any sources at all, even if she was not my sister.
Can I ask for help in correcting this mistake?
We actually did a parody of this on a youtube channel we created called Kether Ketchup, which was meant to make fun of the internet's mistake about Annie.
I would deeply appreciate help in fixing this error, and would like to know what sources people claim to have so we can address them.
thanks.

== Kether Donohue and Annice Moriarty ==

Hello
I am going to make some edits based purely on two things:
*The knowledge that Annice Moriarty is most definitely not [[Kether Donohue]], and
*The episode credits.
We know that both Donohue and Moriarty voice [[Lila]], that was what Tom Wayland said.
In fact it was Lila that was the source of the belief that Donohue and MOriarty were the same person, due to them both being credited and them both voicing the same character, albeit during different stages in her life.
I will not add any biographic info on Ann.
here's an easy way to gage my edits:
If Kether Donohue's name appears in the episode, then we can credit her. If Annice Moriarty's name is there, then we must put Annice Moriarty.

I also want to remind you of something:
I got 3 names for you:
*Allyson Johnson ([[Agatha]])
*Kathleen Delaney (Rouge the Bat)
*Caren Manuel (previously believed to have voiced both [[Agatha]] and Rough due to her similar voice to Johnson and Delaney)

Remember that?
That's the other reason why you have to be careful with pseudonyms.
thanks.
So my edits are based on the credits and what Wayland had actually said. thanks

I don't know who is an admin. FF believes that MOriarty is a pseudony mdespite no proof existing, so I need you to be partly envolved due to your experience with voice actors.

Perhaps you guys do need to examine where it came from, that Annice Moriarty was Kether Donohue. It appears all your guys's efforts are punishing me, rather than maybe figuring out where this belief came from, like I am.
Yes it was uncontested for ages, so was Kathleen Delaney/Allyson Johnson/Caren Manuel.
I have been asking the same question over and over and over again with no answer, and it is quite frustrating. Where did you get the information from that Kether Donohue was Annice Moriarty?
I'm disregarding the fact that she is my sister, because I can't use that for sources.
However I can challenge Bulbapedia, and I am.
thanks.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 22:07, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm asking just for the same.

I will talk to them.
To basically sum it up quickly, as I have to go for a bit, [[Agatha]] used to list Caren Manuel as her english VA.
For Sonic, Manuel was credit for Rouge in 4kids.
Later, it turned out that Kathleen Delaney did Rouge and Allyson Johnson did [[Agatha]].
that's the lowdown on that.
I'll talk to the admins in a bit, I have to eat and I'm going bowling for a bit.
thanks.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 22:30, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

:Okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Update, I posted to Abcboy's page.
On it I mentioned two other examples of long-held beliefs on Bulbapedia and other websites that got destroyed.
[[Megan Hollingshead]] vs. [[Lee Quick]] (Officer Jenny]], and [[Megan Hollingshead]] vs. [[Emily Niebo]] (computer from [[M02|Pokemon 2000]]). Both rolls (Officer Jenny and the palice computer) were credited both on and off Bulbapedia to Hollingshead, until it turned out (just like with [[Agatha]] and Rouge the Bat), that the long-held credit was incorrect.
So be careful with pseudonyms if they are indeed pseudonyms, because it may turn out not to be a pseudonym after all. There has to be a way not just for administrators to identify where pseudonym information comes from, but also ordinary editors and readers, so they can say, "Ok, I know where they got that."
I will also caution you about IMDB, Wikipedia doesn't like it, and when it comes to pseudonyms, there's no way to check where it gets the info from.
thanks.

== pseudonym identifications ==

Hello
The Annice Moriarty thing brings to light the issue of verification of pseudonyms.
Fore example, nobody has identified where it is they got the idea that Annice Moriarty was a pseudonym of New York-born Caucasian voice actress [[Kether Donohue]].
Even though no source has been given for even the IMDB entries, it is still widely believed. However, nothing in the wayback machine of Kether's website shows anything.

What steps should Bulbapedia and other websites do to verify VA pseudonyms, in order to prevent cases like the Annice Moriarty/Kether Donohue or the Caren Manuel/Allyson Johnson/Kathleen Delaney incidents? I would like to see some concreet ideas in verifying tha tpseudonyms are true, rather than false.

E.G. if somebody claims "Kether Donohue did this roll under Annice Moriarty!", then they should have to prove that Kether Donohue used Annice Moriarty as a pseudonym. It shouldn't be a challenger like me saying "where's the proof?" having the burden of proof on them, as we only want to prevent potential mistakes.
Let's say a pseudonym is true, E.G. John Smith uses David Jones as a pseudonym. How would we verify that John Smith and David Jones are the same person?
What has been done to me would be the person coming along and saying, "hey, where did you get that John Smith and David Jones are the same person?" and Bulbapedia responding, "you better prove that David Jones is not John Smith or else consequences."
In other words, we should assume that David Jones and John Smith are different people until a good source is able to be shown that says for sure that John Smith used David Jones.

How will we do this to prevent more Annice Moriartys or Caren Manuels?

:This is something that is best left up to admin, not me. I'm trying not to get involved but if I was you, I would speak to {{user|Force Fire}} about it, post on his talk page and await a response before doing anything.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 08:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Remember, I am not talking specifically about the Annice Moriarty thing, rather about pseudonym verification in general.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 12:31, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
:I have experience dealing with voice actor pages, nothing about pseudonym's I admit but I always wait for admin to approve any information I have before adding it.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:16, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Ok, but then the admin has to identify a source. and I have contacted Force Fire about a few things and either he hasn't seen them or is ignoring them.
I don't know and I won't say either way.
Hence why I hesitate to contact him again.
I think we should identify a source for the specific claim about Annice Moriarty being Kether Donohue as I'm not the only one who brought this up on the internet. You have to be able to tell people where you get information from no matter how believable it is.
We can use the Annice Moriarty case as an example to go by for future VA info such as pseudonyms.
I also wish to remind you of the Megan Hollingshead thing, where people for the longest time thought she voiced Officer Jenny.
Remember that? I did research into that and Lee Quick wasn't credited.
That's another reason to once in a while go back and double check things, even if you feel there's no need to, and even if it is uncontested for a while.
You never know, it may turn out to be unexpectedly incorrect, just like with Ann and just like with Megan Hollingshead.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 13:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
:All I can say is wait for admin to respond, last time you acted before waiting, the page was protected. If you think Force Fire is ignoring you, maybe confer with other admin about it--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 13:38, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I don't feel that FF is ignorning me, but I feel he just isn't seeing what I write. I like to view it that way so it's not so harsh. I mean being an admin is likely a busy thing.
That said, should pseudonyms come up again, please have both you and an admin discuss where it came from.
I suggest if you find pseudonyms, question them and confirm them. You add lots of awesome stuff about voice actors, and I am in love with your voice actor predictions page, it'sreally cool.
So please, even if you don't comment on the Annice Moriarty case, it can be used as an example of why pseudonyms need verification. The proof has to be viewable for Bulbapedia's readers, so we can say, "ok you got it from here." I used to get flack on Wikipedia for adding unsourced material so I only ask that everybody else be held to the same standards as me.
thanks.

== Tobias' Latios' Voice ==

Hey. I need some help. It says Tobias' Latios was voiced by Michele Knotz. But it's not Michele. I've listened to both dubs of the episode and they're both the same voices. But unfortunately I need more "documented proof"... If you can help me get in contact with Knotz that would be great.

Okay, so Tobias was victor of this particular tournament.

'''Tobias''' (Japanese: '''タクト''' ''Takuto'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He made his debut appearance in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Tobias.png|thumb|left|250px|Tobias and Ash]]
Tobias first appeared in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', where he was obscured in shadows the entire time. {{an|Barry}} passed him in a hallway and was scared by the way he came off. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', while {{Ash}} and Barry were looking up information about their next League opponents, [[Conway]] told them that Tobias managed to easily obtain his eight [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and advance through the first two rounds of the Lily of the Valley Conference using just his {{p|Darkrai}}. Barry was amazed by his shadowy and mysterious presence.

In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Tobias appeared unshadowed for the first time, and he was shown to have advanced into the quarterfinals. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', it was shown that he had advanced yet again, now moving onto the semifinals of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', he had a [[Full Battle]] against Ash in the semifinals. Although he was able to gain an early lead as his Darkrai alone defeated three of Ash's Pokémon, he eventually had to send out another Pokémon when [[Ash's Sceptile]] managed to overcome Darkrai's attacks and knock it out. Tobias then called out his Latios, who managed to defeat the remainder of Ash's team while [[fainting]] itself, winning the match for Tobias.

Later, Tobias defeated his final round opponent with just his {{p|Darkrai}}, thus winning the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] and earning the right to participate in the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}}. During the closing ceremonies, he was seen posing alongside [[Cynthia]] and [[Charles Goodshow]] while holding his trophy.

==Character==
Tobias appeared as a very mysterious person at first; his appearance and manner visibly disturbed {{an|Barry}} when they first passed each other in a hallway. He takes battling very seriously, but also has a sportsmanlike side, as seen when he complimented Ash for defeating his Darkrai and putting up a good fight against him. Because of his serious dedication to battling, he could also become rather impatient when the end of a battle was near, such as when his Latios battled Ash's Pikachu.

==Pokémon==
{{MissingInfo|2|enva|java}}
This listing is of Tobias's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:
{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Tobias
|pkmn=Darkrai
|type1=Dark
|img=Tobias Darkrai.png
|epnum=DP183
|epname=League Unleashed!
|desc={{p|Darkrai}} is Tobias's main Pokémon. Using only Darkrai, Tobias easily won eight Badges in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and quickly advanced through the first four rounds of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Darkrai was first seen defeating a Trainer's {{p|Machamp}} despite the type-disadvantage. It faced {{Ash}} and his Pokémon in the semi-finals of the tournament. Darkrai managed to defeat his {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Torkoal}} and {{AP|Gible}}. Darkrai faced [[Ash's Sceptile]] next and despite using the Dark Void/Dream Eater combo, it fell to Sceptile's {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Darkrai was later seen defeating a {{p|Magmortar}} in the finals, earning Tobias the victory and making him the winner of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Dark Void}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, and {{m|Dark Pulse}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc={{p|Latios}} was the second Pokémon that Tobias used in his battle against Ash. He was able to easily defeat Sceptile and {{AP|Swellow}} in a row. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, was able to either endure or evade some attacks from Latios. Despite that, both Pokémon were knocked out at the same time. However, as this left Ash with no Pokémon remaining, Tobias was declared the victor and continued to the final round.

Latios's known moves are {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Luster Purge}}, and {{m|Light Screen}}.}}

It is assumed that Tobias has at least four other Pokémon, as he participated in a Full Battle with Ash, which requires six Pokémon.

==Achievements==

* At least eight Badges (prior to ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'')

==Trivia==
* Tobias's design, from his color scheme to his physical features, was most probably based on his main Pokémon, {{p|Darkrai}}.
* He is the first character in the anime to participate in a [[Pokémon League Conference]] using a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and/or [[Mythical Pokémon]], although another Trainer did attempt to enter the League with his {{p|Heatran}}; however, it is unknown whether this Trainer actually participated or how far he made it in the League.
** Tobias is the only Trainer known to enter a Pokémon League using a Pokémon that is generally banned in competitive battling environments.
* Tobias is the only Trainer in the anime to have owned both a Legendary and a Mythical Pokémon.
* Even though his face is covered in his debut in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', Tobias still appears in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' on the match up board for the upcoming battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in the bottom right corner with a clear image of his face.
** Despite this, Tobias was not shown among the 64 Trainers that attended the opening ceremony in this episode.

'''Ramona''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones!]]''. She and her younger brother [[Keegan]] run a courier business with the help of their {{p|Arcanine}}.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first met Ramona when she and Keegan saved them from a rockslide with the help of their {{p|Arcanine}}. {{an|Brock}} was impressed that Ramona could control a tough {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so easily and began flirting with her immediately after.

Ramona and her brother were traveling to a city near [[Olivine City]] to deliver [[Fire Stone]]s which were to be handed out as prizes for a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon competition. However, the Fire Stones were soon stolen by {{TRT}}. To recover the stones, Ramona, Brock, and {{an|Misty}} went after [[James]], while Ash and Keegan pursued [[Jessie]]. However, Ramona, Misty and Brock were led into a pitfall trap and remained there until Brock used his {{TP|Brock|Onix}} to get them out.

They soon found Team Rocket again and Ramona commanded her two Arcanine to use {{m|Flame Wheel}} on their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] sending them crashing to the ground. Ramona got the Fire Stones back and she and Keegan delivered them to the competition headquarters on time.

The group got Pikachu back, but Team Rocket quickly got away with the stones on their newly acquired fast bikes. The Arcanine gave chase, but fell down one of Team Rocket's holes.

Ramona continued her search, but she, the Arcanine, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} were later caught in another hole trap. Later they found Team Rocket with Keegan and Ash and the Arcanine were able to destroy their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]], allowing [[Ash's Pikachu]] to send them blasting off.

Arcanine's known moves are {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Extreme Speed}}.}}

'''Keegan''' (Japanese: '''ユタカ''' ''Yutaka'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones!]]''. He and his older sister [[Ramona]] run a courier business with the help of their {{p|Arcanine}}.

While he and his sister were traveling to deliver some [[Fire Stone]]s for an upcoming {{type|Fire}} Pokémon contest, they rescued {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a rockslide. After becoming acquainted with the group, Keegan and Ramona offered them a lift aboard their Arcanine as they were heading towards a city near [[Olivine City]]. which was going to be held in a city near [[Olivine City]].

Keegan later tried to teach Ash how to command and ride on his Arcanine after Ash showed a lot of interest. However, he had a hard time learning how to be one with the Arcanine. Soon, the Fire Stones that he and his sister had to deliver were stolen by {{TRT}}. The group split up, with Keegan and Ash deciding to pursue [[Jessie]]. They followed her right to a battlefield. She gave her word that she would give the stones back if Ash defeated her in a {{pkmn|battle}}. {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} easily defeated her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and she seemingly handed the stones over. However, at the moment they went to retrieve them, they fell into a pitfall trap and found out that the Fire Stones they received from Jessie were fake. Even worse, Keegan had hurt his arm in the fall.

Once out of the hole, Keegan and Ash attempted to go after Jessie once again to get the stones and Pikachu back. But as soon as Arcanine tried to take off, Keegan cringed in pain. Ash suggested that he should lead Arcanine, to which Keegan agreed. Ash still had trouble leading Arcanine, but Keegan said that Ash had to become one with Arcanine like he did with Pikachu. Soon, Ash learned to lead Arcanine perfectly.

They ultimately found Team Rocket and got the stones back. Keegan and Ramona then delivered them to the competition.

Arcanine first appeared when it saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a rockslide with the help of [[Ramona]]'s two Arcanine. Ash and his friends later joined Keegan and Ramona, who were heading towards [[Olivine City]]. The joyride inspired Ash to want to ride Arcanine by himself, though Ash eventually fell off during the practice session. Suddenly, {{TRT}} arrived and stole the [[Fire Stone]]s along with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The group got Pikachu back but Team Rocket quickly got away on their newly acquired fast bikes. The Arcanine gave chase, only for them to fall down one of Team Rocket's holes.

Ash, Keegan and Arcanine searched for Team Rocket and eventually found them. They defeated [[Jessie's Arbok]] and went on to grab the stones, but fell down a huge pitfall. [[Jessie]] then grabbed Pikachu once again. Later, they managed to get out and Ash had to ride Keegan's Arcanine as Keegan himself had hurt his arm. Arcanine's was able to track Pikachu's scent, leading Ash and Keegan directly to Team Rocket. Arcanine was ordered to attack the trio, but its attack was {{m|Counter}}ed by [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]. Ramona and the group then arrived and Ramona's Arcanine blew up [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]], causing it to fall down to the ground. Ash was determined to chase after Team Rocket, and used Arcky's lightning speed to reach the evil trio. Pikachu went on to send them blasting off.

Arcanine's known moves are {{m|Take Down}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Extreme Speed}}.}}

[[File:Ramona.png|thumb|250px|Ramona]]
'''Ramona''' (Japanese: '''ハルカ''' ''Haruka'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones!]]''. She and her younger brother [[Keegan]] run a courier business with the help of their {{p|Arcanine}}.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first met Ramona when she and Keegan saved them from a rockslide with the help of their {{p|Arcanine}}. {{an|Brock}} was impressed that Ramona could control a tough {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so easily and began flirting with her immediately after.

Ramona and her brother were traveling to a city near [[Olivine City]] to deliver [[Fire Stone]]s which were to be handed out as prizes for a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon competition. However, the Fire Stones were soon stolen by {{TRT}}. To recover the stones, Ramona, Brock, and {{an|Misty}} went after [[James]], while Ash and Keegan pursued [[Jessie]]. However, Ramona, Misty and Brock were led into a pitfall trap and remained there until Brock used his {{TP|Brock|Onix}} to get them out.

They soon found Team Rocket again and Ramona commanded her two Arcanine to use {{m|Fire Spin}} on their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] sending them crashing to the ground. Ramona got the Fire Stones back and she and Keegan delivered them to the competition headquarters on time.

'''Gardenia''' (Japanese: '''ナタネ''' ''Natane'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Eterna City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Eterna Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Forest}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Gardenia uses {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TM|86|Grass Knot}}, and the ability to use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Gardenia likes to explore the [[Eterna Forest]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, challengers are required to beat all of her students to challenge her.

She appears in front of the [[Old Chateau]] to warn the {{player}} of the mysterious stories of hauntings surrounding it. She hints at herself being afraid of ghosts. Later, in {{v2|Platinum}}, she will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]]. She will also sometimes visit the [[Villa]] and will always arrive when the Houseplant is purchased. One of her lines of dialog at the Villa confirms her dislike of {{type|Ghost}}s and she notes that she is worried about what would happen if there was a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} Pokémon, a type combination that had never materialized prior to [[Generation VI]].

:''"Hi! I'm Gardenia! I'm this town's [[Gym Leader]]! My last challenger was this awfully speedy young guy. ...Actually, his name was <rival>. He told me about you. He said that another challenger's on the way, so that made me antsy! At my [[Gym]], no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader, me, until the end. The challenger has to beat all the other Gym {{pkmn|Trainer}}s first. I'll be waiting for you in the back, Trainer. Don't disappoint me!"''

;[[Eterna Gym]]
* At the entrance of the Gym's maze{{sup/4|DP}}
:''"At my Gym, no one gets to battle with the Gym Leader--me--until they've beaten all the other Trainers. I'll be waiting for you in the back. Good luck, challenger!"''

* Before battle
:''"You kept me waiting! I'm Eterna's Gym Leader, Gardenia, the {{type|Grass}} master! When I first saw you, I was convinced you'd find your way to me. My hunch was right on the money. You have a winning aura about you. So, anyway, this will be fun. Let's have our battle!"''

* After the opponent sends out their last Pokémon
:''"It's not the end yet."''

* When the opponent's last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"Are you saying something? You think you have me cornered?"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Amazing! You're very good, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I might've said it before, but you're really tough! Wasn't it hard for you to raise your Pokémon to be so good? I guess that's a measure of how much you love your Pokémon. In recognition of that, I proudly grant you this!"''
:''"With the Forest Badge, your Pokémon can use the [[HM|hidden move]] {{m|Cut}} outside of battle. Now that you have two Gym [[Badge]]s, all Pokémon you received in [[trade]]s will obey you up to Lv. 30. I've also got something else. It's a gift from me!"''
:''"That [[TM86]] contains the [[move]] {{m|Grass Knot}}. It's one of my favorite moves. The heavier the foe, the more damage this move will cause."''

* If talked to again
:''"Yup! If there's one thing I can tell about you, it's this! You and your Pokémon are gonna get even tougher, and I mean seriously!"''

;[[Old Chateau]]
:''"Hiya! Were you intrigued by the rumors going around, too?"''
:''"You know, people've been talking about the ghost Pokémon of the Old Chateau. I've been hearing rumors about sinister shadows, too. I should check it out myself, but going in there is... ...Well, you know, being that I'm a Gym Leader, I'm always busy. So, since I'm so busy, I can't go in. It's not because I'm s-scared! S-so, good luck with your investigation!"''

;[[Resort Area]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
:''"Listen, listen! I came for a visit! Can I go in?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Yes! No time to waste!"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, right. You must have plans already."''

;[[Villa]]{{sup/4|Pt}}
* Any of the following
:''"Sigh... This is so dreamy... The Resort Area's a nice place. Of course, Eterna is a good place, too. We have the huge forest, first of all."''
:''"I know it's a little abrupt, but don't you think Grass-type Pokémon smell nice? It makes me happy just being around them."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Gardenia anime.png|thumb|200px|Gardenia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gardenia debuted in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener]]''. She was first seen attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gloom}} in [[Eterna Forest]], but failed before running off to see [[Ash's Turtwig]], which she complimented. She then had a short {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, revealing to him that the [[Eterna City]] [[Gym Leader]] specialized in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but refraining from identifying herself as the Gym Leader. During the battle, she sent out {{p|Cherubi}} first, though she soon [[recall]]ed it. She then sent out her own {{p|Turtwig}}, which defeated both Ash's Turtwig and {{AP|Staravia}}.

Gardenia informed Ash, {{ashfr}} and [[Cheryl]] that she knew about a {{p|Combee}} wall near some [[Pomeg Berry]] flowers, and she joined their search for the [[Amber Castle]]. The group were confronted by {{TRT}}, but Gardenia was infatuated with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Gardenia eventually decided to battle the evil trio after seeing [[Jessie's Seviper]], and also rescued [[Cheryl's Mothim]]. Gardenia later left the group after receiving a message from a {{p|Nuzleaf}} regarding some urgent business.

Ash and his friends encountered Gardenia at the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''. Gardenia instantly recognized [[Nando]], who had been apprehended by [[Officer Jenny]] on suspicion of theft, from his recent Gym match victory against her. Ash and the others were surprised to learn that Gardenia was in fact the Eterna Gym Leader. Later, Gardenia and her Turtwig helped to recover the stolen [[Adamant Orb]] from Team Rocket.

[[File:James and Gardenia.png|thumb|left|220px|James giving Cacnea to Gardenia]]
Gardenia had a Gym battle with Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. {{AP|Turtwig}} went up against {{p|Cherubi}} first, but it was returned. Staravia then defeated {{p|Cherubi}}. After Staravia was defeated by Turtwig's {{m|Leech Seed}}, Ash went on to defeat Gardenia's Turtwig with his own Turtwig. {{p|Roserade}} beat Ash's Turtwig with its {{m|Weather Ball}}, but later was defeated by {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} combo. Ash succeeded in defeating Gardenia and earned himself the {{Badge|Forest}}.

Gardenia visited [[Emeragrove Town]] to promote Pokémon battling in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', in which she took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]] against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. Gardenia's Turtwig and James's Cacnea went up against Ash's Aipom and [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Following Gardenia's instructions, James witnessed Cacnea use {{m|Drain Punch}} for the first time. Turtwig was taken out first because Gardenia was paying closer attention to Cacnea, and soon Ash and Dawn emerged victorious. After the battle, she offered to train James's Cacnea and make it stronger, and James reluctantly accepted.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where {{an|Barry}} revealed that he had earned the Forest Badge from her. Gardenia also made a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Character===
Gardenia is an optimist and overly cheery. Her battle style is reliant on [[harsh sunlight]], which increases the power of [[moves]] like {{m|Solar Beam}} or {{m|Weather Ball}}, and her Pokémon's incredible speed.

Gardenia actively seeks out new challenges, so she often ventures to [[Eterna Forest]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} new Pokémon to train and is also prepared to [[trade]] for {{type|Grass}}s she feels have potential. Her obsession with Grass Pokémon is overwhelming and causes her to become flustered to the extent that she did not take {{TRT}} seriously due to her fascination with [[James's Carnivine]] and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.

This listing is of Gardenia's known Pokémon in the anime:

|vaen=Chinami Nishimura
|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Cherubi}} was first seen in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'' when Gardenia used it in an unofficial {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Turtwig]]. It displayed its high speed, however it emerged that Gardenia was just trying to get a read on Turtwig's abilities before she recalled it.

It later appeared during Ash and Gardenia's [[Gym]] battle during ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'', where it was able to outspeed Turtwig's attacks using its {{a|Chlorophyll|high speed}} and forced Ash to recall it. It then went up against {{AP|Staravia}} where Ash was able to blind it using the sunlight and then Staravia was able to knock it out.

Cherubi's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Solar Beam}}, and its Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.}}

|desc=Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}} appears to be her main Pokémon, and it was first seen when it {{pkmn|battle}}d against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Staravia}}. It was shown to be great in speed and very powerful, especially its Leech Seed attack. It was untouchable by any of Ash's Pokémon and won the match. It helped protect the [[Adamant Orb]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

In Ash's [[Gym]] battle, it used its impressive speed to once again defeat Ash's Staravia. However, it lost to Ash's Turtwig after a fierce round. Gardenia reappeared in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields!]]'', and Turtwig was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James's Cacnea]], but was defeated by [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]'s {{m|Spark}}. [[Nando's Roselia]] is known to have defeated Turtwig in an earlier battle.

Turtwig's known moves are {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Tackle}}.}}

|desc={{p|Roserade}} was the final Pokémon used by Gardenia against {{Ash}}. It was able to easily knock out Turtwig using a {{m|Weather Ball}} powered by the bright sun. When it went up against Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}, it was unable to keep up with the active Pokémon. It was eventually knocked out with a combination of {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Swift}}.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Roserade briefly appeared alongside Gardenia during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Roserade's known moves are {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, and {{m|Flash}}.}}

|desc=Gardenia first met {{p|Cacnea}} in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type Is Always Greener!]]'', when it was sent out by [[James]]. Gardenia was automatically attracted to it, and she asked it to scratch her back by using {{m|Pin Missile}}.

Later, in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', after battling alongside James and Cacnea in a Tag Battle, Gardenia knew that Cacnea had the ability to learn {{m|Drain Punch}}, so she offered to take on Cacnea to help it reach its full potential. After much soul searching James agreed and handed Cacnea over. Gardenia soon helped Cacnea master Drain Punch and she used it in a Gym battle against {{an|Barry}}, where it proved to be a strong opponent, unlike its many battles under James's command.}}

====Mentioned====
In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]'', Gardenia mentioned that she has a {{p|Bellossom}}, a {{p|Vileplume}}, and a {{p|Victreebel}} when she wanted to [[trade]] one of her Pokémon for [[James's Carnivine]].

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Roark Gardenia Adventures.png|thumb|225px|[[Roark]] and his {{p|Cranidos}} with Gardenia and her {{p|Roserade}}]]
Gardenia made her debut when she took a walk in the Eterna Forest with her Cherubi and Roserade. She was enjoying the fresh air and the scent of the forest when she recognized the scent of Gastly in the forest. Following the scent, she met the trio ({{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}). She called out to the group, only to be ignored by them. Becoming annoyed with their attitude, she had her {{p|Roserade}} use {{m|Grass Knot}} to get their attention. She was surprised to hear that the trio had been to [[Old Chateau]] and fought the Ghost Pokémon in the place. Gardenia was supposed to investigate the place as a Gym Leader, but apparently was scared of ghosts. Revealing that she is a [[Gym Leader]], she challenged the trio to a Gym battle.

Gardenia was the second [[Gym Leader]] that Platinum had battled against, and the first to have a [[Double Battle]] against. Gardenia sent out {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Cherubi}} against [[Platinum's Empoleon|Platinum's Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. To avoid Ice- and Fire-type attacks, Gardenia and her Pokémon kept a great distance away from their challenger. But the distance didn't trouble them. Her {{p|Roserade}} used poisonous vines to attack, sending vines from the ground. This move easily knocked out Ponyta with a single shot. {{p|Cherubi}} on the other hand used {{m|Grass Knot}}. The attacks seemed to corner Prinplup, especially because after its evolution, Prinplup was prone to heavier damage from Grass Knot attacks. But the battle resulted as Platinum's victory, after she used the holes in the ground (made from Roserade's vines) to her advantage by having Prinplup blow a {{m|Blizzard}} into the holes. The holes led the ice move directly to Gardenia's two Pokémon, making them unable to battle. Recognizing her defeat, Gardenia gave Platinum the Forest Badge.

Gardenia would eventually join Roark, Fantina, Maylene, Crasher Wake and Candice in the battle against Team Galactic's commanders on the Spear Pillar. Gardenia and Crasher Wake faced [[Mars]] and won. After the Gym Leaders broke one of the Red Chains and were defeated by [[Cyrus]], Gardenia gave her Cherrim to Platinum.

After being attacked by Cherubi's {{m|Grass Knot}} (which was more powerful upon {{p|Piplup}}'s evolution, since her weight had increased), she used her {{m|Blizzard}} in the tunnels the vines had dug, to deliver an underground at-distance attack.

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[Hareta]] first met Gardenia in [[Eterna Forest]], both mistaking the other to be part of [[Team Galactic]]. After resolving their misunderstanding and learning that Gardenia was [[Eterna City]]'s Gym Leader, Hareta asked Gardenia for a Gym battle but was promptly turned down, as Gardenia hadn't been impressed by Hareta's abilities so far. However after being attacked by {{p|Piplup}} she changed her mind and agreed to battle.

After narrowly dodging Roserade's attacks, Piplup won the battle with an airborne {{m|Peck}} as Roserade could no longer use Magical Leaf to protect itself.

Roserade's only known move is {{m|Magical Leaf}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Gardenia is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader who does not have a Pokémon with their signature [[TM]] {{m|Grass Knot|move}} when battled in the [[Battleground]].
* Gardenia is the only second Gym Leader in the series that uses a fully evolved stage three Pokémon. Misty and Lenora [[Misty's Starmie|both]] {{p|Watchog|have}} fully evolved Pokémon as well, though both have only two stages.
* Gardenia is said to be afraid of the possibility of the existence of a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon. In [[Generation VI]], four Pokémon with this type combination were introduced: {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, {{p|Gourgeist}}, {{p|Phantump}}, and {{p|Trevenant}}. [[Generation VII]] introduced two more with {{p|Decidueye}} and {{p|Dhelmise}}.
* Gardenia is the only [[Gym Leader]] who battles using a [[starter Pokémon]] that is available to the player in the same game.
