Marnie (Japanese: マリィ Mary) is one of the rival characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the others being Hop and Bede, and specializes in Dark-type Pokémon. She eventually replaces her older brother Piers as the Gym Leader of her hometown Spikemuth. As the Spikemuth Gym Leader, she gives the Dark Badge to Trainers who defeat her.

In the games

Marnie is one of the player's rivals. She is a stoic, but well-mannered girl who wants to become Champion to support her hometown Spikemuth. Her first Pokémon is her Morpeko, who can be seen following her around outside of battle. She is constantly followed by her fan club, Team Yell. She can first be seen at Motostoke Stadium while the player and Hop register for the Gym Challenge. The player first meets Marnie in the lobby of Motostoke's Budew Drop Inn, where she scolds a group of Team Yell Grunts for causing trouble for the player, Hop, and other participants before introducing herself and apologizing on her behalf. After the player returns to Motostoke, the player has their first battle with her in the same lobby. The next day, Marnie will give them a copy of Kabu's League Card and two Burn Heals before seeing them off. The player later meets Marnie and Morpeko at Ballonlea Stadium, where she learns her Morpeko has taken a liking to the player, and she gives them a copy of her League Card before officially acknowledging them as a rival.

Later, on the outskirts of Spikemuth on Route 9, Marnie will show the player an alternate way into town but insist on a battle before they can enter. After being defeated, Marnie gives them Piers's League Card and leads them inside, claiming she'll get her revenge in the Champion Cup. During their Spikemuth Gym Mission, the player will learn that Team Yell consists of the Gym's Gym Trainers, and that they blocked the main entrance to cut down on Marnie's competition. They also learn that the Gym Leader, Piers, is Marnie's older brother. After Piers is defeated, Marnie arrives to congratulate both her brother and her rival on the match and tells Piers she knows he plans to retire his title after the Champion Cup. Piers planned on offering the position to her, but Marnie refuses, telling him she can't be a Gym Leader if she becomes Champion. The player leaves Spikemuth while Marnie and Piers have their Gym Battle.

The player next meets Marnie as their first opponent in the semi-finals of the Wyndon Stadium Champion Cup. Marnie says she was expecting them, and that despite what they've been through together, she declares she's going to go all-out. Marnie is revealed to have a Dynamax Band, unlike her brother, and uses it to Gigantamax the newest addition to her team, Grimmsnarl. After being defeated, Marnie thanks the player for the battle, saying that she enjoyed putting on a show for the crowd, but tells the player she hasn't yet decided who to root for just yet. After the semi-finals, the player and Hop meet Marnie, Piers, and Team Yell in front of the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel, who agree to help them look for Leon. While the player battles Macro Cosmos's Eric, Marnie will lead Team Yell in cheering for the player, boosting their Pokémon's stats. As the player and the others reach Rose Tower, Marnie and Piers will stay behind to hold off any other interlopers. Marnie later appears in the waiting room of Wyndon Stadium after Piers loses his match with Raihan in the Champion Cup finals, telling the player she'll be cheering for them.

After the player becomes Champion, they'll find Marnie in one of the rooms of the Budew Drop Inn, talking to her Morpeko. She attempts to practice smiling by pushing up the corners of her mouth, but when she is caught by the player, she runs off embarrassed. The player can then find her in Spikemuth, where she reveals she did take up Piers's offer, taking his place as Gym Leader. The player can train with her in a rematch here once daily. After being defeated for the first time, she will give the player a copy of her rare League Card. After obtaining this Card, they can encounter her in rematches in Champion tournaments at Wyndon Stadium, as well. Here, she will use the same team, only she will also Gigantamax her Grimmsnarl once more.

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Marnie's League Cards in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Normal League Card

"As a child, she was timid and a bit of a crybaby. However, she became more cheerful as she played with the Pokémon she received from her brother, and her talents as a Trainer also grew greatly. She joined the Gym Challenge because she wishes to breathe life back into her dilapidated hometown, but she says she has been somewhat distracted by the boutiques throughout Galar. Though many in Spikemuth see her as a local celebrity, she herself has no interest in pursuing fame. However, she says she does appreciate the support of Team Yell, her personal cheering squad."

Rare League Card

"She was appointed as the new Gym Leader of Spikemuth by her brother Piers. Piers caught Morpeko and gave it to her when she was five. She still finds herself at the mercy of Morpeko's mood swings even now. The local dialect of Spikemuth has a distinct kick to it, and many of Marnie's fans have started mimicking her. Marnie won't change her expression even when she gets angry, but once something sets her off, she stays angry for a long time."

Pokémon

Marnie keeps her Pokémon in Dusk Balls.

Motostoke

• Budew Drop Inn

"What are you lot doin' here?"

"I know you all are terribly curious 'bout the other Gym Challengers, but you gotta show a bit of restraint. Sorry 'bout them! They're just a bunch of my fans. Call themselves Team Yell and follow me around, cheerin' for me. I think they've let it all go to their heads a bit... Come on, you lot! Back home with you now!"

"They're just so caught up with wantin' to support me and all that they tend to get a bit shirty with other Gym Challengers. Sorry if they caused you any troubles."

• If spoken to again

"They're just so caught up with wantin' to support me and all that they tend to get a bit shirty with other Gym Challengers. Sorry if they caused you any troubles."

• The next day

"So the Gym Challenge is finally startin'. I'd wish you luck, but I'm afraid I'm goin' to be the one to win."

• Before challenging Kabu

• Budew Drop Inn

"Uhhh, Challenger <player>, right? Out givin' it your all, even this late, huh? Hey, help with somethin' for a sec. I want t'see if I'm ready for the next leg of the Gym Challenge."

All right : "Wicked! Got some fight in you, huh?"

• During battle

"Hmm, I think this move expresses my feelin's. What do you think?"

• Before sending out last Pokémon

"It'd be no fun if things ended just yet... That's why we aren't givin' up!"

• Upon being defeated

"You beat me... Guess you must not be too bad after all, huh?"

• After being defeated

"Guess I'd better get to bed and rest up for tomorrow. You'd better get to sleep, too."

• The next day

"Mornin', <player>."

"That friend of yours already went off to challenge the next Gym. Kabu's League Card is supposed to help against him, but I ended up with a few copies, so I'll give you one. Don't look so chuffed. It's no big deal."

"Take this, too... A little somethin' for our battle yesterday."

"Bet you'll have no trouble beatin' that "man of fire" Kabu chap, right? Why don'cha get over to Motostoke Stadium and get that Gym Badge already?"

Ballonlea Stadium

"Oh, Challenger <player>!"

"Hmm? You got four Gym Badges already? I'm gonna have to watch out for you, huh?"

"Look, even Morpeko is wary of you."

"Wait, Morpeko, don't tell me you actually like <player>?"

"Ugh! We've already had a serious battle with him. He's an opposin' Gym Challenger! Guess there's nothin' to it. Look, just take one of my League Cards, OK?"

"What's with that look, huh? This just means I'll think of you as my rival from now on, OK? There aren't too many Gym Challengers left, y'know. So we're meetin' in the Finals. You got that?"

Route 9

"Hey, <player>!"

"I was born 'ere so I know another way in. If you wanna get into the town, how 'bout I show you the way? But...you're my rival. So you'll have to beat me in a battle first, got it?"

With pleasure! : "You've had a pretty good win streak in the Gym Challenge, just like me! I respect you as my rival and all that, but I got too much at stake to go around losin' now!"

• After sending out first Pokémon

"I've powered up a whole lot! I'm gonna beat you lot into the ground, got it?"

• Before sending out last Pokémon

"As expected of my rival! You really know how to get me riled up!"

• Upon being defeated

"What's with that?! My Pokémon didn't get a chance to really do their thing at all. Ugh!"

• After being defeated

"My partner Morpeko has been interested in you and your strength, and I think I get it now. But I've got everyone in Spikemuth supportin' me! I'm definitely gonna get all eight Gym Badges just so I can have a rematch with you. Don'cha forget it! I'll get my revenge in the Champion Cup! Anyway, I promised I'd show you a way in, so follow me!"

Spikemuth

"With the shutter closed, nobody's gonna be able to challenge the Gym... I gotta look into this. I just happened to have too many of these, so I'll give you one, got it? You can handle yourself, right?"

"Shut your gob!"

"Oh, <player>! Uh... I'm really sorry! The lot from Spikemuth's tellin' me they locked down the city for my sake..."

"*sigh* That's no way to help someone at all! <player>, no need to bother with all the preparations, or whatever. Go on in and face the Gym Leader!"

"That was actually kinda sweet."

"I was watchin' YOUR battle, Bro. It's how I learned to battle an' all that."

"Yeah, I know. You'd planned to retire after the Champion Cup, right? I think you've really become a great Gym Leader, even if you don't Dynamax your Pokémon. I love you, but my answer is a big, fat "NO"! I mean, when I end up becomin' Champion, I won't be able to be a Gym Leader!"

"Hey, <player>, thanks for havin' an amazin' Pokémon battle with my brother. It's my turn next! So clear off for a bit, 'K?"

Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Lobby)

"This is it. I really made it. I made it through the Gym Challenge. There might be four remainin' in the Semifinals... But I'm the one who's gonna win through and battle the Champion."

Wyndon Stadium (Champion Cup Semifinals)

• Before battle

"Heh. I knew you'd get all the Badges and meet me here. I know that there's been a lot between us, what with my big brother, Team Yell, helpin' Spikemuth and all that... But the truth is, when all's said and done... I really just wanna become Champion for myself! So don't take it personal when I kick your butt!"

• After sending out first Pokémon

"I've gotta win this if I'm gonna be the Champion! I'm comin' at ya with everythin' I've got!"

• Before sending out last Pokémon

"I've got everyone's cheers backin' me! I'm really, really gonna win this time, got it?"

• Upon activating Gigantamax

"My bro might not use it... But I'll Gigantamax my Pokémon if it's to win!"

• Upon using G-Max Snooze

"I worked real hard trainin' my favorite move, just so I could use it in a battle against you!"

• Upon being defeated

"OK, so I lost... but I got to see a lot of the good points of you and your Pokémon!"

• After being defeated

"Everyone in the stadium was watchin' us durin' all that... I heard them cheerin' for me and my Pokémon. It was nice... I may have lost, but... At least we drove the audience wild! Guess that's not so bad! Think I'll join my brother in the stands, and we'll watch from the sidelines to see who ends up challengin' the Champion. Just so y'know... I still haven't decided if I'm gonna cheer for you... See ya!"'

Wyndon (Outside Rose of the Rondelands)

"Man, why am I here for this? I'm totally exhausted from that battle with you, <player>..."

"What should we do?"

"My cheers will really get you goin'!"

Wyndon (Outside Rose Tower)

"So what should we do?"

"Team Yell is gonna have their hands full holdin' up those bad League staff members. They won't be catchin' up anytime soon."

"<player>, you cleared the way to Rose Tower. Now all you gotta do is charge on ahead."

"An employee's an employee I guess... Seems that exec lady hid the monorail key to try and impress the chairman. Chairman Rose's been keepin' the Champion holed up inside. Wonder what he's plottin'."

"Gotta stick around to make sure my bro doesn't do anythin' too crazy, right? Come back if you need anythin'."
