Poppy (Japanese: ポピー Poppy) is a member of Elite Four of the Paldea region. She specializes in Steel-type Pokémon.

In the core series

Poppy is first introduced to the player by Rika after they have won seven Gym Badges. Although she is far younger than the rest of the Elite Four, as well as Paldea's Gym Leaders, Poppy is considered one of the strongest Pokémon Trainers in the region. She is normally sweet and good-natured, but becomes competitive during battles; because of her age, she refers to her Pokémon with childlike nicknames. After the player becomes a Champion, Poppy watches their battle against Nemona in Mesagoza.

"Oh wow! Did you lose, Rika?"

"You bet I will!"

  • "I can't wait for you to meet my friends, so...here they come!"
• In battle
  • "Go on, Rajah! Smush 'em!"
    • Before sending out her last Pokémon: "I'm not scared! My last Pokémon will turn things around!"
    • Before Terastallizing her Tinkaton: "It's time to get dressed up all pretty, Tinkie!"
    • After being defeated: "Uagh?! Mmmuuuggghhh..."
• After battle
  • "Waaaaaah! Waaaaaah! I wanted to take revenge on you, Rika!"
  • "Oh, that's right! I haven't had to do this in a long time!"
  • "It's your turn, Mr. Larry!"
• After Hassel is defeated
  • "Oh wow!"
  • "Awww, don't cry, Grandpa Hassel! There, there—wanna hug?"
  • "Yeeeaaah! You're tougher than steel!"

  • "So I'll cheer for you as hard as I can!"
