Agatha (Japanese: キクコ Kikuko) is a master Poison-type trainer.

She is an elderly woman who uses a cane. Despite her age, she is a formidable opponent in Pokémon battles, and in Generation I and Generation III, she is the third member of the Elite Four.

Agatha appears in the anime in AG132, acting as a temporary Gym Leader for the Viridian Gym.

In the Games

Agatha is a member of the Elite Four, and the oldest one to date. As such, she serves as an inspiration for senior Pokémon trainers all around the region. She uses Ghost-type Pokémon, and other Pokémon with horrifying appearances.

Agatha and Professor Oak were once friendly rivals in their youth, and it appears that Agatha may have once had a crush on Oak. However, their relationship has grown bitter and strained over the years because Agatha believes he was too weak to continue competing.

She has a very short temper.

By the events of the Generation II games, Agatha is no longer a member of the Elite Four, and Bruno has assumed her position. Her absence was never explained; in fact, she is not mentioned at all. It is fan speculation that in the three-year gap between games, she either finally retired due to old age or passed away.
