Nastina has a habit of posing and has hired many men in speedos to pose with her, and work as her servants/minions. She also has a habit of asking people when she offers a reward "Isn't Nastina generous?" She wanted to build a hotel/themepark in Porta Vista. However, it was destroying the habitat of the Tentacool that lived there. After hiring Team Rocket to get rid of the Jellyfish Pokémon, the plan went wrong. One of the Tentacool evolved into a Tentacruel and grew to an enormous size. The Tentacruel began destroying the city, as well as Nastina's hotel.

Misty was able to convince Tentacruel to stop attacking the city, and the Tentacruel sent Nastina (after she tried bargaining for it to be in on of her theme park's shows) flying.
