Plumeria (Japanese: プルメリ Plumeri) is the Admin of Team Skull. She is considered the "big sister" of the team, due to how she runs operations strictly but also cares for her underlings. She specializes in Poison-type Pokémon. She is the only character in the games to have the Trainer class Team Skull Admin (Japanese: スカルだんかんぶ Team Skull Executive).
In the games
Plumeria appears in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon as the sole Admin of Team Skull. She is first encountered and battled at the Akala Outskirts before Olivia's grand trial, where she expresses her anger at the player for them having defeated many Team Skull Grunts. Her next appearance is in front of the Aether House on Route 15, where she will also battle the player for the second time. While the player is taking down Team Skull at Po Town, Plumeria returns to the Aether House, taking Lillie and Nebby to Aether Paradise. She makes her final main game appearance at the Ancient Poni Path, first observing the player battling multiple Team Skull Grunts, after which she asks the player to bring Guzma back after he disappeared into an Ultra Wormhole with Lusamine. She also gives them a Poisonium Z as a sign of apology.
Following the disbandment of Team Skull during the post-game, Plumeria is one of the possible Trainers who will challenge the player in a Title Defense battle at the Pokémon League, having been convinced to do so by Nanu and Molayne. In Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun, she also appears as a Trainer at the Battle Tree.

Quotes
Pokémon Sun and Moon
- Before battle
- "So, you're the one Gladion was talking about? ...Hmph. You don't look like anything special to me."
- "I'm Plumeria."
- "I help keep Team Skull together. I'm like a big sister to all these numskulls. You have realized what idiots all these guys are, right?"
- "But don't you think some dummies are cute in their dumbness? You know what I mean, right? You picking on my cute, dumb brothers and sisters is really annoying me!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Phooey."
- After being defeated
- "Hmmph! You're pretty strong. I'll give you that. But mess with anyone in Team Skull again, and I'll show you how serious I can get."
- Before battle
- "Back so soon, hmm? I wasn't expecting you just yet."
- "It takes these dumb Grunts way too long to deal with you kids..."
- "So I guess it's my turn now!"
- "What? I told you before. Next time you get in our way, I'm not holding anything back!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Hmmph! I can't even stand myself right now!"
- After being defeated
- "Hmmph. Guess you are pretty tough. Now I understand why my Grunts waste so much time battling kids."
- "But if you want us to return the Pokémon, then you'll have to come to us. Alone. The boss is dying to meet you, hmmph! See you at our base in Po Town!"
- Aether House (flashback)
- "Not gonna disappear this time, huh? Seems like maybe the tall tales we heard about you were wrong."
- "It's fine. There's nothing more for us to take from you."
- "Which reminds me..."
- "Maybe we're not the only ones around here who could be called Pokémon thieves. Is that what you are, huh? A thief?"
- Ancient Poni Path
- "That's enough. No one wants to see a sore loser."
- "Hmmph. You, girlie... Lillie, right?"
- "You really ready to do this finally?"
- "To be honest, I've treated you really badly. Even if I was just doing the work the president told me to do, I shouldn't have done all that. Even if I apologize now, I know it's probably too late for you to forgive me, though."
- "See, Guzma... he really likes the president. She's the only adult who ever seemed to see how strong he was."
- "You know...deep down, you're kind of like the president. You've gone in a different direction, but I can tell you have the same strength in your convictions."
- "Bring Guzma back, if you can. I know you've got no reason to help... but no one can make up for what they've done if they're gone."
- "And you, <player>. Looks like you were special after all. You didn't just stand up to Team Skull. You even took on the darkness inside Aether. Looks like you're the real deal. The realest Pokémon Trainer I've seen around. Take good care of our little princess here. This is my way of saying sorry, OK? Take it. It's Poisonium Z."
- "Oh yeah... you got your first stone directly from Tapu Koko, didn't you, <player>? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them. If you ever forget that, you'll bring the wrath of the tapu down upon yourself. You should be fine, though."
- "I'm out of here."
- Pokémon League
- First challenge
- Before battle
- "Those old dudes Molayne and Nanu somehow talked me into doing this. I'm starting from scratch as a Pokémon Trainer and doing it right this time. I've got a Z-Ring and everything, so I might actually be able to live up to their expectations."
- Upon being defeated
- "Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"
- After being defeated
- "Even when I give it my all, I'm nothing compared to you! Maybe my Pokémon and I need to go through more together to deepen our friendship. I'm out of here, Champ."
- Subsequent challenges
- Before battle
- "My team and I are battling for all the Pokémon we took out on our way here!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"
- After being defeated
- "I failed again...like I always do. I promised myself I wouldn't! I told myself I would never fail again! It's all right to feel a little jealous, right? How else am I supposed to get stronger? My team and I really did take out so many Pokémon to make it here!"
- Before battle
- "I don't believe that people understand each other if they battle, but I'll face you anyway."
- Upon being defeated
- "Yeah, yeah, you win... You're really a big deal!"
- If the player is defeated
- "I've got pride, too. I mean, I was in Team Skull."
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

- "Not gonna disappear this time, huh? Seems like maybe the tall tales we heard about you were wrong."
- "Leave her be. I like a girl who's not afraid to stand up for herself."
- "And besides..."
- "I don't know about calling someone a Pokémon thief just 'cause she wanted to help out a Pokémon when it was suffering..."
- Ancient Poni Path
- "You dummies. They're trying to save the boss, so what do you wanna get in their way for?!"
- "Hmmph. You, girlie... Lillie, right?"
- "You really ready to do this finally?"
- "To be honest, I've treated you really badly. Even if I was just doing the work the president told me to do, I shouldn't have done all that. Even if I apologize now, I know it's probably too late for you to forgive me, though."

- "You know...deep down, you're kind of like the president. You've gone in a different direction, but I can tell you have the same strength in your convictions."
- "<Player>... Lillie... I know you've got no reason to help, but... But could you help us save Guzma?"
- "That big dummy... I don't think he's even aware of it, but... Alola really means a lot to him. That's why he's doing something so reckless to try to save it. The Poison-type Z-Crystal... Maybe it'll help you somehow."
- "I guess giving you this Z-Crystal is also kind of, what did you call it, helping each other? Oh yeah... You got your first stone directly from Tapu Koko, didn't you, <player>? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Power Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them.

Plumeria debuted in That's Some Spicy Island Research!, where she confronted Team Skull Grunts Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp at Poni Beach following their defeat at the hands of Hapu. Plumeria wasn't pleased that they weren't following her orders to capture a group of Oricorio and made them leave with her.
In The Dealer of Destruction!, Plumeria arrived at the Shady House alongside Guzma. Upon learning from the Team Skull Grunts about Professor Kukui's announcement of the first-ever Alola League, she visited Melemele Island's Pokémon School alongside Guzma, Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp. Plumeria watched as Guzma confronted Professor Kukui and then battled Ash. After the battle prematurely ended with Golisopod activating Emergency Exit, Plumeria suggested that Ash join Team Skull, which he refused to do. Back at the Shady House, she informed Tupp that Guzma was planning the destruction of the Alola League.
In League Offenders and Defenders!, Plumeria arrived to see Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp being confronted by Ash and Hau. She also witnessed Guzma's confrontation with Professor Kukui. Plumeria was later seen among the crowd of competitors preparing to join the Alola League.
In Battle Royal 151, Plumeria participated in the Manalo Conference, where she focused all of her attention on Ilima, the crowd favorite who was expected to win the Alola League. Using her Salazzle in the Battle Royal preliminary round, Plumeria battled Ilima and his Eevee after they had defeated the participating Team Skull Grunts. Although Plumeria was defeated herself, she managed to seriously injure Eevee, thus accomplishing what she had set out to do in the first place.
In SM134, Plumeria supported Guzma during his battle against Lana, standing alongside Tupp, Zipp, Rapp, and the other Team Skull Grunts as they cheered him on.
In SM135, Plumeria spoke to Guzma prior to his battle against Ash during the Manalo Conference, advicing him not to let his guard down only to be brushed off by Guzma.
In SM136 and SM137, Plumeria cheered for Guzma during his battle against Ash and spoke to him following his loss. Though Guzma was ready to disband Team Skull, Rapp and the others were so fired up by the battle that they wanted stay by his side and learn to battle as well as he did.
Much like in the games, Plumeria is referred to as "Big Sis" by the grunts.

Plumeria debuted in Flash and Cosmog's Secret, where she attacked Gladion after he arrived in Po Town in order to see if he was skilled enough to be Team Skull's Enforcer. Though Gladion proved himself, his negative attitude annoyed Plumeria, who refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull.
In PASM17, Po Town was infiltrated by five of Alola's Trial Captains and Hau. Their presence alerted Plumeria and Guzma, who demanded to know why their based was being invaded. When the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned a Pheromosa, Celesteela, and Guzzlord and had them attack the Captains and Hau, who were completely outmatched by the rampaging beasts. Annoyed the Captains were still fighting, Guzma used a Cosmog and had it open more wormholes to summon more beasts. Gladion appeared and battled the beasts Guzma summoned with his Type: Null. Gladion also revealed the Aether Foundation's president, Lusamine, was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. To Plumeria and Guzma's surprise, a Xurkitree appeared from a wormhole and attacked them, knocking Plumeria unconscious.
In PASM23, Plumeria confronted Faba at Vast Poni Canyon, demanding that he tell her where Guzma was taken to after he was kidnapped by a Nihilego that appeared from a wormhole. When Faba tried to feign ignorance, Plumeria revealed she had a Cosmoem that evolved from the Cosmog Guzma received from the Aether Foundation. Faba tried to take Cosmoem by attacking Plumeria, but his Hypno was defeated by her Salazzle. Immediately after, Moon and Anabel, a member of the International Police, arrived. Faba, worried that his plans could be jeopardized, had the Aether Foundation Employees with him battle Moon and Anabel as a distraction. During the commotion, Cosmoem flew out of Plumeria's hands and into the air, where it encountered Nebby. While Faba chased after the two Cosmoem, Plumeria, Moon, and Anabel traveled by air and secretly followed his movements. Near the Poni Altar, Faba revealed he knew he was being followed and attacked his pursuers. While Moon and Anabel dealt with the Employees, Faba told Plumeria that he help her find Guzma if she assisted him in taking over the Aether Foundation.
Six months later, Faba had successfully taken over the Aether Foundation, running it like a dictatorship. Later, Faba was informed by an Employee that Lusamine had returned to Alola after going into Ultra Space. Worried that Lusamine may have successfully captured Necrozma, Faba requested Plumeria help him fight her. Disguised as Moon, Plumeria was sent to Mount Lanakila in order to assassinate Lusamine with poison arrows, but her attempts were blocked by Lillie, Sina, and Dexio.
