[[File:Valerie anime.png|thumb|250px|Valerie in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Valerie is the [[Laverre City]] [[Gym Leader]], as well as a famous fashion designer. She operates her fashion retail store and hosts fashion shows inside the [[Laverre Gym]].
 
She debuted in ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]''. After {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Laverre City, {{an|Serena}} became excited about the prospect of meeting her. When a fashion show was about to start, Valerie became unsure of what to do while preparing for the fashion show. [[Blossom]] and {{kal|Katherine}} brought over Serena and {{an|Bonnie}}, and Valerie recommended them to replace two participants who didn't show up for her fashion show. During the event, Valerie had a Gym battle, to showcase her designs, against [[Sawyer]] and easily defeated his {{p|Bagon}} with the help of her {{p|Spritzee}}'s speed. This battle caused Ash to realize that Valerie was going to be tough to deal with.
 
In ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', Valerie got to battle Ash next. When Ash and his friends arrived in the Laverre Gym, they initially noticed that Valerie was absent. She then made a grand entrance with flower petals to welcome Ash to the Gym. Beginning their two-on-two match, Valerie called out {{p|Sylveon}} first. After {{AP|Fletchinder}} defeated Valerie's Sylveon, Valerie sent out Spritzee next. Her strategy was revealed when she had Spritzee use {{m|Trick Room}}. This managed to defeat Fletchinder, as Fletchinder took too long with the multiple {{m|Flame Charge}}s during the stage Trick Room was active. Valerie dealt with Hawlucha next. By treating it as a wrestling ring, Hawlucha withheld Spritzee's attacks and then {{m|X-Scissor}}ed the Trick Room, shattering it. Spritzee was defeated by Hawlucha, thus defeating Valerie. The {{tc|Furisode Girl}}s commented that Valerie hadn't lost to anybody in a while. She then gave Ash the {{badge|Fairy}} as proof for defeating her. She reappeared in a flashback in [[XY075|the next episode]].
 
She appeared in a fantasy in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', when Ash was talking to [[Everett]] about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated in Kalos, in order for him to be able to compete in the [[Lumiose Conference]].
 
In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Valerie was seen in her Gym, watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from [[Lumiose City]] along with her Pokémon. In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Valerie and Spritzee were among those who helped to destroy the [[Giant Rock]].
 
She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.
 
====Character====
Valerie is always poised and polite. Behind this, however, Valerie is bold and confident in how she conducts herself on the battlefield. Her Fairy Pokémon are trained with beauty and power, or what she calls "hidden fangs", in mind. Valerie is incredibly empathetic and revealed that she wishes to be a Pokémon. As a result, she has developed the unique ability to speak to some Pokémon, which allows her to use them to their full abilities in battle such as her {{p|Sylveon}}'s ribbons.
 
She is also creative and has an eye for detail. Valerie believes that only nature represents true beauty, and often incorporates floral and Pokémon motifs in her fashion designs. Her designs are best showcased in battle, where their intricate details and the free-flowing movement of the materials come to life.

'''[[Laverre Gym]]'''
[[File:Valerie Olympia Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Valerie in Pokémon Adventures]]
Valerie debuted in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''. She, alongside [[Grant]] and [[Olympia]], went to visit [[Korrina]], who was in a [[Laverre City]] hospital recuperating from injuries she sustained in a battle with [[Team Flare]]. They soon left to have a meeting with the other [[Kalos]] Gym Leaders to decide on how to deal with Team Flare. In ''[[PS579|Pyroar Breathes]]'', {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} joined the Gym Leaders and traveled to [[Geosenge Town]] to confront Team Flare. Shortly after they arrived, the group witnessed the [[ultimate weapon]] emerging from underground like a flower bud. To prevent the weapon from blooming, the Gym Leaders and Y used their bodies to keep the petals in place by force, but were met with interference by [[Bryony]].


*Before battle
The ultimate weapon eventually fired anyway, but the combined efforts of the Gym Leaders and their allies successfully weakened the weapon enough to make it unable to take any innocent lives. Using her newly-obtained {{p|Xerneas}}, [[Xerxer]], Y tried to destroy the ultimate weapon, but was interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, [[Xerosic]] announced that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.
:''"Oh, if it isn't a young Trainer... So you've flown all the way through my Gym, fluttering down to me on a fortunate wind. Then I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. I am Valerie, who leads this Fairy-type Gym. I hope your visit will prove entertaining to you. The elusive Fairy types may appear frail as a breeze and delicate as a bloom, but they are strong."''


*Being defeated
In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', [[Ramos]] revealed that Team Flare blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on the Gym Leaders and the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] children. {{adv|X}} and his friends were advised to keep out of the public's eye while the Gym Leaders helped rebuild the damaged areas. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Valerie, Grant, [[Ramos]], Olympia, and [[Wulfric]] helped stop Team Flare's attempt to reactivate the ultimate weapon by defeating a group of Grunts that were stationed around Cyllage City. After Team Flare was fully defeated, Valerie and her allies met with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory.  
:''"I hope the sun is shining tomorrow... That would be reason enough to smile."''

Main series

Valerie in the anime

Valerie is the Laverre City Gym Leader, as well as a famous fashion designer. She operates her fashion retail store and hosts fashion shows inside the Laverre Gym.

She debuted in A Fashionable Battle!. After Ash and his friends arrived in Laverre City, Serena became excited about the prospect of meeting her. When a fashion show was about to start, Valerie became unsure of what to do while preparing for the fashion show. Blossom and Katherine brought over Serena and Bonnie, and Valerie recommended them to replace two participants who didn't show up for her fashion show. During the event, Valerie had a Gym battle, to showcase her designs, against Sawyer and easily defeated his Bagon with the help of her Spritzee's speed. This battle caused Ash to realize that Valerie was going to be tough to deal with.

In Fairy-Type Trickery!, Valerie got to battle Ash next. When Ash and his friends arrived in the Laverre Gym, they initially noticed that Valerie was absent. She then made a grand entrance with flower petals to welcome Ash to the Gym. Beginning their two-on-two match, Valerie called out Sylveon first. After Fletchinder defeated Valerie's Sylveon, Valerie sent out Spritzee next. Her strategy was revealed when she had Spritzee use Trick Room. This managed to defeat Fletchinder, as Fletchinder took too long with the multiple Flame Charges during the stage Trick Room was active. Valerie dealt with Hawlucha next. By treating it as a wrestling ring, Hawlucha withheld Spritzee's attacks and then X-Scissored the Trick Room, shattering it. Spritzee was defeated by Hawlucha, thus defeating Valerie. The Furisode Girls commented that Valerie hadn't lost to anybody in a while. She then gave Ash the Fairy Badge as proof for defeating her. She reappeared in a flashback in the next episode.

She appeared in a fantasy in A League of His Own!, when Ash was talking to Everett about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated in Kalos, in order for him to be able to compete in the Lumiose Conference.

In A Towering Takeover!, Valerie was seen in her Gym, watching Lysandre's broadcast from Lumiose City along with her Pokémon. In Rocking Kalos Defenses! and Forming a More Perfect Union!, Valerie and Spritzee were among those who helped to destroy the Giant Rock.

She reappeared in a flashback in Till We Compete Again!.

Character

Valerie is always poised and polite. Behind this, however, Valerie is bold and confident in how she conducts herself on the battlefield. Her Fairy Pokémon are trained with beauty and power, or what she calls "hidden fangs", in mind. Valerie is incredibly empathetic and revealed that she wishes to be a Pokémon. As a result, she has developed the unique ability to speak to some Pokémon, which allows her to use them to their full abilities in battle such as her Sylveon's ribbons.

She is also creative and has an eye for detail. Valerie believes that only nature represents true beauty, and often incorporates floral and Pokémon motifs in her fashion designs. Her designs are best showcased in battle, where their intricate details and the free-flowing movement of the materials come to life.
