Leader of Cerulean Gym
Badge Cascade Badge
Specializes in Water-Type-Pokemon-Sword-and-Shield Water

Hailing from the very first generation of Pokémon, Misty is the Gym Leader of Cerulean City, and is typically the second Gym Leader you encounter in Kanto. Her type specialty is Water, which makes the game very easy if you picked Bulbasaur as your Starter; since the previous Leader specialized in Rock, that's two Gyms in a row weak to Grass.

Her badge is the Cascade Badge. Her prize TM is:

  • TM 11 in the original games
  • TM 03 in FireRed/LeafGreen
  • TM 29 in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee

The youngest of four sisters, Misty absolutely hates being thought of as a "beach bum" like Lily, Violet, and Daisy, and is ridiculously competitive as well as short-tempered.

Misty and the girls discover they are destined for marvelous things and Misty is the descendant of "Aquania" a priestess who is to help return Princess Justis to the throne.

St. Clair Publications universe[]

Misty appeared in The World of Nintendo, functioning mostly like she did in the animé. She was initially a traveling companion with Ash, but left him right around the time the Advanced Generation series premiered in the U.S..

Misty appears in Tropes vs. Women in Pokémon Training, as a Trainer you can fight on the Battle Turnpike. While her portrayal here sticks mostly to her portrayals in the games, she does sneak in a few animé references; the fact that Lily, Violet, and Daisy are Gym Leaders in this game helps her case.

Her team in this game is as follows:

As a reference to the animé, Golduck "pops out" before the "Kanto Gym Leader Misty sent out..." text can finish, and it's heavily implied that Misty wanted to lead off with one of her other team members. Misty then laments that her Golduck still does that even after it evolved from a Psyduck, before deciding that it's "what I like about you, I guess!"
