====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Greta appeared in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. As in {{game|Emerald}}, she is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the [[Battle Arena]], and runs a karate dojo where she trains alongside her dozens of apprentices. Unlike the {{pkmn|games}}, however, she is a {{type|Fighting}} [[Type expert|expert]]. Before a {{pkmn|battle}}, a wheel is spun to decide how many Pokémon will be used in the match. While the matches are Single Battles, the other Pokémon that are intended to be used remain outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s until they faint.
 
{{Ash}} spun a two-on-two match. His {{AP|Grovyle}} was defeated by Greta's {{p|Hariyama}} in the first round. [[Ash's Snorlax]], using its impressive endurance and equally powerful attacks, went on to defeat both of Greta's Pokémon despite the type disadvantage and earn Ash the [[Symbol|Guts Symbol]].
 
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.
 
====Character====
Greta, like {{Ash}}, is a high-spirited individual and very passionate about [[Pokémon battle]]s. Unlike her game counterpart, who has no specific [[type]] that she [[Type expert|specializes]] in, she is an expert in {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, like her role models [[Chuck]] and [[Brawly]], and continues to train her focus in order to improve her strength.
 
Speed-based strategies work poorly against Greta's team, and they actually help magnify her Pokémon's attacks. Her Pokémon's own speed and relentless [[physical move]]s make Greta a tough opponent. However, her Pokémon are weak to attacks from above or behind and can get hurt if their own attacks miss.
 
====Pokémon====
This listing is of Greta's known Pokémon in the anime:

|pkmn=Hariyama
|type1=Fighting
|epnum=AG149
|epname=Wheel of Frontier

|vaen=Bill Rogers

|desc={{p|Hariyama}} was the first Pokémon used by Greta in her {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, where it first battled with {{AP|Grovyle}}. Despite Grovyle managing to outmatch Hariyama in speed and dealing some damage on it, Greta was finally able to use Grovyle's momentum as her own advantage, and land a strong hit on the {{pkmn|category|Wood Gecko Pokémon}}, knocking it out.
 
Ash next used his {{AP|Snorlax}} against the Arm Thrust Pokémon. Despite having disadvantage in [[type]], {{p|Snorlax}} was able to keep itself safe from Hariyama's attacks by using {{m|Protect}}. Eventually, one of Hariyama's Focus Punches missed its opponent and it instead punched the battlefield, leaving it with a sore hand. It was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} solid and knocked out with an {{m|Ice Punch}}.
 
Hariyama's known moves are {{m|Arm Thrust}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}.}}

|desc={{p|Medicham}} was the second Pokémon Greta used in her battle against {{Ash}}, going up against his {{AP|Snorlax}}. With its great speed and offense, Medicham quickly overwhelmed Snorlax, even leaving it {{status|Freeze|frozen}} with Ice Punch. Although Snorlax was able to heal itself with {{m|Rest}} while frozen, it was subjected to another barrage of powerful attacks, especially when its {{m|Hyper Beam}} missing forced it to [[recharge]]. Once Snorlax had finished recharging, however, Ash had it use Hyper Beam on the ground, sending Snorlax flying and allowing it to defeat Medicham with an airborne {{m|Body Slam}}, earning Ash the [[Symbol|Guts Symbol]].
 
It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.
 
Medicham's known moves are {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, and {{m|High Jump Kick}}.}}
 
Greta has at least one other Pokémon, as one of the options for her battle wheel was to participate in a three-on-three battle.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Greta is one of the seven {{pkmn|Trainer}}s hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Greta is first seen hosting the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony. The ceremony is interrupted by {{adv|Emerald}}, who announces that he wishes to conquer the Battle Frontier. The press mistakenly report the incident as allowing an ordinary Trainer to take part in the Battle Frontier before it officially opens a week later. The Frontier Brains decide to use this assumption as free publicity and allow Emerald to challenge the Battle Frontier under the condition that he completes it before it officially opens.
 
Later, while Emerald is challenging the [[Battle Pyramid]], Noland is attacked by an unknown assailant and several rental Pokémon are stolen. After Noland is taken to a hospital, the other Frontier Brains begin to suspect Emerald as the culprit. They head to the Battle Pyramid to confront Emerald and find him after having defeated Brandon. When they ask him about what happened, Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon {{adv|Jirachi}}. The Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into [[Artisan Cave]], where Jirachi is currently located at. Upon arriving, everyone is attacked by a horde of wild {{p|Smeargle}} while Emerald continues inside to find Jirachi. After the Frontier Brains get past the Smeargle, they meet up with Emerald, who has managed to find Jirachi. Emerald attempts to capture Jirachi, but is attacked by [[Guile Hideout]], the actual culprit who attacked Noland.
 
Emerald is attacked by Guile's stolen rental Pokémon, but he refuses to fight them and continues to head after Jirachi. When Greta sees this, she angrily tells Emerald that stopping Guile is more important than Jirachi and goes off to help the others. When Spenser, Lucy, Tucker, and Brandon are defeated by Guile, Greta steps in to help and defeats the rental Pokémon. Eventually, Jirachi escapes, forcing Guile to leave to continue his pursuit of it. Injured from the battle, everyone decides to return to the Battle Frontier. Upon arriving, the press demand to know where the Frontier Brain's had gone and why they were injured. Tucker lies to everyone that they were all in training and sends Greta to have her battle with Emerald.
 
At the [[Battle Arena]], Greta is Emerald's fourth opponent, and Emerald is allowed to battle her directly. Both sides fight hard, but Emerald eventually emerges as the victor, earning himself the Guts Symbol in the process. The battle leaves Emerald so exhausted that he and his Pokémon fall asleep. Greta brings Emerald and his Pokémon to the Battle Frontier's accommodations to sleep properly. When Greta and [[Todd Snap|reporter Todd]] undress Emerald to make his sleep more comfortable, they are shocked to find that Emerald is much shorter than he initially appears. Todd kicks Greta out of the room and asks her to pretend she saw nothing.
 
The next day, Greta assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the [[Battle Dome]]. During the tournament, Guile appears and manages to capture Jirachi. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to the attack innocent bystanders and heads to the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} to make his wish. Once he arrives at the Battle Tower, Guile uses Jirachi to wish for a gigantic Kyogre made of seawater to flood the entire Battle Frontier. Greta and the other Frontier Brains work together to get civilians to safety and fight off Guile's rental Pokémon while Emerald and the other Pokédex holders fight Guile. Eventually Emerald and the Pokédex holders manage to defeat Guile and destroy the gigantic Kyogre monster. The day after, an injured Greta and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone.

Greta can be blunt, and if an opponent looks weak, she'll let them know. She likes tough trainers, and will gladly hand over the Guts Symbol if defeated.
Greta and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains battle and defeat the Admins of Neo [[Team Magma]] and Neo [[Team Aqua]], who had interfered in the launch of a rocket that was made to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the world. Greta attempts to interrogate the Admins on the location of their accomplice, [[Zinnia]], only for the Admins to deny knowing where she had gone.

Greta in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Greta appeared in Wheel of Frontier. As in Pokémon Emerald, she is the Frontier Brain of the Battle Arena, and runs a karate dojo where she trains alongside her dozens of apprentices. Unlike the games, however, she is a Fighting-type expert. Before a battle, a wheel is spun to decide how many Pokémon will be used in the match. While the matches are Single Battles, the other Pokémon that are intended to be used remain outside of their Poké Balls until they faint.

Ash spun a two-on-two match. His Grovyle was defeated by Greta's Hariyama in the first round. Ash's Snorlax, using its impressive endurance and equally powerful attacks, went on to defeat both of Greta's Pokémon despite the type disadvantage and earn Ash the Guts Symbol.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

She reappeared in a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!.

Character

Greta, like Ash, is a high-spirited individual and very passionate about Pokémon battles. Unlike her game counterpart, who has no specific type that she specializes in, she is an expert in Fighting Pokémon, like her role models Chuck and Brawly, and continues to train her focus in order to improve her strength.

Speed-based strategies work poorly against Greta's team, and they actually help magnify her Pokémon's attacks. Her Pokémon's own speed and relentless physical moves make Greta a tough opponent. However, her Pokémon are weak to attacks from above or behind and can get hurt if their own attacks miss.

Despite Grovyle managing to outmatch Hariyama in speed and dealing some damage on it, Greta was finally able to use Grovyle's momentum as her own advantage, and land a strong hit on the Wood Gecko Pokémon, knocking it out.

Ash next used his Snorlax against the Arm Thrust Pokémon. Despite having disadvantage in type, Snorlax was able to keep itself safe from Hariyama's attacks by using Protect. Eventually, one of Hariyama's Focus Punches missed its opponent and it instead punched the battlefield, leaving it with a sore hand. It was then frozen solid and knocked out with an Ice Punch.

Hariyama's known moves are Arm Thrust and Focus Punch.

Medicham was the second Pokémon Greta used in her battle against Ash, going up against his Snorlax. With its great speed and offense, Medicham quickly overwhelmed Snorlax, even leaving it frozen with Ice Punch. Although Snorlax was able to heal itself with Rest while frozen, it was subjected to another barrage of powerful attacks, especially when its Hyper Beam missing forced it to recharge. Once Snorlax had finished recharging, however, Ash had it use Hyper Beam on the ground, sending Snorlax flying and allowing it to defeat Medicham with an airborne Body Slam, earning Ash the Guts Symbol.

It reappeared in a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!.

Medicham's known moves are Focus Punch, Ice Punch, and High Jump Kick.

Greta has at least one other Pokémon, as one of the options for her battle wheel was to participate in a three-on-three battle.

History

Emerald arc

Greta is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Greta is first seen hosting the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony. The ceremony is interrupted by Emerald, who announces that he wishes to conquer the Battle Frontier. The press mistakenly report the incident as allowing an ordinary Trainer to take part in the Battle Frontier before it officially opens a week later. The Frontier Brains decide to use this assumption as free publicity and allow Emerald to challenge the Battle Frontier under the condition that he completes it before it officially opens.

Later, while Emerald is challenging the Battle Pyramid, Noland is attacked by an unknown assailant and several rental Pokémon are stolen. After Noland is taken to a hospital, the other Frontier Brains begin to suspect Emerald as the culprit. They head to the Battle Pyramid to confront Emerald and find him after having defeated Brandon. When they ask him about what happened, Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon Jirachi. The Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into Artisan Cave, where Jirachi is currently located at. Upon arriving, everyone is attacked by a horde of wild Smeargle while Emerald continues inside to find Jirachi. After the Frontier Brains get past the Smeargle, they meet up with Emerald, who has managed to find Jirachi. Emerald attempts to capture Jirachi, but is attacked by Guile Hideout, the actual culprit who attacked Noland.

Emerald is attacked by Guile's stolen rental Pokémon, but he refuses to fight them and continues to head after Jirachi. When Greta sees this, she angrily tells Emerald that stopping Guile is more important than Jirachi and goes off to help the others. When Spenser, Lucy, Tucker, and Brandon are defeated by Guile, Greta steps in to help and defeats the rental Pokémon. Eventually, Jirachi escapes, forcing Guile to leave to continue his pursuit of it. Injured from the battle, everyone decides to return to the Battle Frontier. Upon arriving, the press demand to know where the Frontier Brain's had gone and why they were injured. Tucker lies to everyone that they were all in training and sends Greta to have her battle with Emerald.

At the Battle Arena, Greta is Emerald's fourth opponent, and Emerald is allowed to battle her directly. Both sides fight hard, but Emerald eventually emerges as the victor, earning himself the Guts Symbol in the process. The battle leaves Emerald so exhausted that he and his Pokémon fall asleep. Greta brings Emerald and his Pokémon to the Battle Frontier's accommodations to sleep properly. When Greta and reporter Todd undress Emerald to make his sleep more comfortable, they are shocked to find that Emerald is much shorter than he initially appears. Todd kicks Greta out of the room and asks her to pretend she saw nothing.

The next day, Greta assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the Battle Dome. During the tournament, Guile appears and manages to capture Jirachi. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to the attack innocent bystanders and heads to the Battle Tower to make his wish. Once he arrives at the Battle Tower, Guile uses Jirachi to wish for a gigantic Kyogre made of seawater to flood the entire Battle Frontier. Greta and the other Frontier Brains work together to get civilians to safety and fight off Guile's rental Pokémon while Emerald and the other Pokédex holders fight Guile. Eventually Emerald and the Pokédex holders manage to defeat Guile and destroy the gigantic Kyogre monster. The day after, an injured Greta and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

Greta and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains battle and defeat the Admins of Neo Team Magma and Neo Team Aqua, who had interfered in the launch of a rocket that was made to stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world.
