Quotes
- First battle:
"Hey! Howdy! ...Wait, are you the challenger? Is this right? Hmm... Hmhm... I don't know how to say it, but... To put it bluntly, you look pretty weak. Are you sure you're up for me? Hmm... Well, all right! We'll take things easy to start with! Okay! Let's see you ignite my passion for battle!"
"No way! Good job! Ow, wait a second! You are tough after all! I like you! Let's see your Frontier Pass. It's going to be fun the next time! I'm looking forward to it!"
- Second battle:
"Hey! Howdy! You finally won your way up to me! I was getting worried waiting for you! I was really looking forward to seeing you again! ... ... ... So, are you ready? I won't allow a halfhearted effort! Be ready for a thrashing! Come on, referee! Let's get this started!"
"Huh? Are you serious?! Gaaah! Blown away! Let's see your Frontier Pass! Arrrgh! This is so infuriating! If we ever battle again, I won't lose! Don't you forget it! Bye-bye!"
In the anime
Greta appeared in one episode of the anime. She's a spirited, tomboyish young girl who's very passionate about Pokémon battles. She also runs a karate dojo as a parallel activity. According to Scott, her role models are Chuck and Brawly.
Greta's sole appearance was in Wheel of Frontier. Before the battle, a wheel is spun to decide how many Pokémon will be used. While battles are single battles, the other Pokémon intended to be used remain outside of their Poké Ball until they faint. A running gag of the episode was that Ash and Greta were very similar in personality, both being fiery and passionate about battles.
Greta used a Hariyama and Medicham in her battle against Ash Ketchum. After a hard fought battle, Ash was able to win the Guts Symbol.
When Team Rocket interrupted the battle, she was already aware of who they were. She used her Medicham to send them flying after one attack.
Pokémon
This listing is of Greta's known Pokémon:
Greta's Hariyama defeated Ash's Grovyle, but it was defeated by Ash's Snorlax. It's known moves are Arm Thrust and Focus Punch. | ||

Greta chose Medicham, along with her Hariyama to battle Ash in Wheel... of Frontier!. It was the second to go up after Hariyama was defeated by Ash's Snorlax. Medicham overwhelmed Snorlax with its astounding speed and agility. With Ice Punch, Medicham was able to freeze Snorlax giving Greta a huge advantage.
Ash then commanded Snorlax to use Rest, and Greta told Medicham to attack Snorlax with repeated Focus Punches in order to break the ice. Greta told Medicham to use Hi Jump Kick but Snorlax managed to dodge it, causing Medicham to take some damage. Snorlax then tried to attack it with a Hyper Beam, but Medicham dodged it and hit it with Focus Punch. Just when it seemed it was all over for Ash, he commanded Snorlax to use Hyper Beam on the ground which catapulted it into the air. Using its altitude to his advantage, Ash told it to attack with a full-on Body Slam, defeating Medicham and earning Ash the Guts Symbol. Medicham's known moves are Focus Punch, Ice Punch and Hi Jump Kick. Medicham made a cameo in the form of a flashback in A Pyramiding Rage!. | ||

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
As in the games and other media, Greta is the leader of Battle Arena. She owns a Heracross, a Shedinja and an Umbreon. She is also an animator in the Battle Frontier. At first, she was antagonistic toward Emerald because he focused more of his attention to capturing Jirachi than fighting Guile Hideout, who had earlier attacked Noland. Believing he had no "guts," she rebuked him and said that her camaraderie toward fellow Brains mattered much more than some Phantom Pokémon, and charged at Guile. Before fighting the villain in the Artisan Cave, though, she insisted that she be the next Brain Emerald faces, and thus fought him in the Battle Arena shortly after the fight. Her Heracross succeeding in fighting Emerald's Sceptile evenly, and out-scored it, only to be defeated by the Fighting-type-immune Dusclops. Afterward, she called out her Umbreon, and defeated Dusclops before it, too, was beaten by a combination of the ghost's Will-O-Wisp and Sudowoodo's super-effective Low Kick. With there being one Pokémon left on each side, Greta sent out her final Pokémon, Shedinja, and commanded it to Endure in spite of knowing she would get outscored, because she believed battles should be finished the old-fashioned way. In the end, Sudowoodo was able to withstand Shedinja's final SolarBeam, and outscored, winning the battle. Greta handed out the Guts symbol, having a shift in opinions of the boy.
