Candice (Japanese: スズナ Suzuna) is the Gym Leader of Snowpoint City's Gym, known officially as the Snowpoint Gym. She hands out the Icicle Badge to Trainers who defeat her. She specializes in Ice-type Pokémon.

In the games

Candice uses Ice-type Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the Icicle Badge, TM72 (Avalanche), and will be able to use Rock Climb outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of cold and distant. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.

She later allows the player entry into the Snowpoint Temple, and, in Platinum, will appear occasionally for rematches at the Battleground.

In Platinum, Maylene mentions in Snowpoint's Pokémon Center that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the Fighting-type because of it being a weakness of Ice-type Pokémon.

In the anime

Candice in the anime

In the Pokémon anime, Candice made her debut appearance in Classroom Training! where she was revealed to be a teacher in Snowpoint City's Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of Zoey and calls her by the nickname Zo-Zo (Japanese: ノゾチ Nozotchi).

Ash battled her in Sliding Into Seventh!, where he defeated her and earned the Icicle Badge. She also appeared in A Pyramiding Rage!. Paul challenged her to a Gym battle in A Pyramiding Rage! where it took place off-screen between the aforementioned episode and Pedal to the Mettle! The next episode confirmed that Paul had won the match.

She made another appearance in Double-Time Battle Training!, in which she watched as Zoey defeated Rebecca in the Brussel Town Pokémon Contest, earning her fifth Ribbon. Enthralled by Zoey's battle, she did not even realize that Ash, Dawn, and Brock were sitting next to her in the Contest Hall.

Later, Candice held a small party for Zoey to celebrate her victory and invited the group as well. They enjoyed a table of pastries and desserts as their meal, and Candice shared that her favorite dessert of all is Snowpoint City's Tamato Berry Ice Cream Sandwich. She described it as "hot and spicy on the inside and cold on the outside", saying that often times things that don't seem to go well together at first are sometimes the most compatible.

The next day, Candice's words were great inspiration for Dawn and they gave her the idea for the Flame Ice combination. When Dawn was practicing, Candice helped her by showing a variation of the move Ice Shard together with her Abomasnow.

She appeared again in Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn! she and Zoey watched Dawn's performance on TV where they saw Dawn's perfected Flame Ice combination in action. She also made another brief cameo in A Grand Fight for Winning!, watching the Contest Battle between Dawn and Zoey in the final round of the Sinnoh Grand Festival on television along with her students.

Her trademark is using the term "kiai" in regular speech (instead of as a sound effect), such as in the line, "Get your kiai on!"

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Candice and her Froslass with Volkner and his Electivire

Candice first appeared in Route 217 saving Platinum when she fell from her skis after angering a pack of Graveler. Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a Gym battle, where her Snover double-KO'd with Platinum's Empoleon, and her Froslass took over to fight Platinum's Rapidash. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective Ice attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the Gym Badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect Uxie at Lake Acuity. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a Wake-Up Slap and deal massive damage on the sleeping Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the Sinnoh Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, Lopunny, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used Healing Wish to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.

Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with Maylene to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by Jupiter's superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new Trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.

Pokémon

Candice's Abomasnow
Abomasnow
Abomasnow is one of Candice's main Pokémon. She was first seen when Platinum had bumped into a Graveler while skiing. She took her to the city so she could rest. Afterwards, she was used in her Gym match and was Candice's third Pokémon, against Platinum's newly caught Lopunny. She first successfully hit the Rabbit Pokémon with an Ice Shard, but it could stand it. Despite being an inexperienced member of her team, Lopunny was swiftly able to avoid the massive Pokémon's Focus Blasts, and to defeat her with a nimble Jump Kick.

Abomasnow's known moves are Ice Shard, Rock Climb, and Focus Blast, and its Ability is Snow Warning.

Debut Disagreeable Graveler
Candice's Snover
Snover
Snover was the first Pokémon used by Candice during her Gym battle against Platinum against her Empoleon. Due to her opponent's Steel-type advantage, she was quickly defeated by a powerful Metal Claw, however, before she fainted, she had fired a Seed Bomb, which hit the Emperor Pokémon in the head, defeating her.

Snover's only known move is Seed Bomb, and her Ability is Snow Warning.

Debut Striking Out Snover

Given away

Candice's Froslass
Froslass

With his speed, Rapidash was able to avoid Froslass's icy attack, but when it was finally hit, Rested to be saved for Candice's last Pokémon, only to be hit by a powerful Wake-Up Slap, nearly fainting him. After switching with Abomasnow, and the latter being defeated, she went against Lopunny, and stopped its jumping strategy and defeated it, but just before she could claim victory, she was defeated by Rapidash who had it energy restored by Lopunny's Healing Wish, earning Platinum the battle. After the Gym battle, she was taken to Lake Acuity where she was defeated by Jupiter. Later, at the Spear Pillar, Candice gave her to Platinum.

Froslass's known moves are Wake-Up Slap and Ice Shard, and her Ability is Snow Cloak.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Candice in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

Candice's first appearance was in A Novel Test!, where she provided Hareta with a challenge to see if he could defeat Team Galactic. Despite his initial reluctance, Candice was able to convince Hareta to battle her after sending out her Legendary titans, selecting Regice and Regirock to use in a Double Battle against Hareta's Luxio and Riolu. Making use of her titans's Clear Body Ability to negate Luxio's Intimidate, Candice was seemingly able to defeat both of Hareta's Pokémon with ease; however, as she began to walk away, Riolu evolved into Lucario, immediately defeating both Regice and Regirock and winning the battle. Impressed by Hareta's capabilities, Candice took him to Snowpoint Temple, revealing that the purpose of their battle had been to determine if he would be able to catch Regigigas.

After supervising Hareta's capture of Regigigas, Candice joined the attack on Team Galactic's headquarters, where she was defeated along with the other Gym Leaders.

Trivia

  • Candice lives in Snowpoint City, the coldest place in the Sinnoh region, so it is quite peculiar she has her sweater tied around her waist and has a relatively short skirt and socks.
  • Candice is an Ice-type Gym Leader and the seventh Gym Leader of her region; she shares both of these attributes with Pryce and Brycen.
  • Candice is the only Gym Leader from Sinnoh that Ash did not have a 3-on-3 battle with. Instead, it was a 4-on-4.
  • In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Candice is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader to use two Pokémon within the same evolutionary line on her team (Snover and Abomasnow).
  • All of Candice's Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl are Pokémon that have gender differences.
  • In the Generation IV games, the highest-leveled Pokémon in Candice's team differs between every battle.
  • In Platinum, Candice is one of two trainers, and the only Gym Leader, whose Battleground rematch team contains only Pokémon which are in the Sinnoh Dex, the other being Mira.
    • As of Generation VI, all of Candice's teams in the Core series contain only Pokémon which are in the Sinnoh Dex.
  • Candice's speaking of herself in the third person is somewhat a mistranslation: in Japanese, a person using their own name in place of "I" indicates femininity, whereas in English it is typically considered illeism.
  • Candice is the only female Ice-type Gym Leader.
