Every trainer in the world of Pokémon aims to be one thing: The very best that no one ever was. Hundreds of candidates may go against each other in fierce battles for the number one spot… but only a scarce few come out on top.
The ladies of the Pokémon universe are no exception, these battlers are notorious in the community and looked up to by many. However, the question still stands: Who’s the strongest female Pokémon trainer of all? Many are competent enough for the podium but only a select few can be powerful enough to reach the top.
Updated on January 3rd, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman: With hundreds of pokémon and many continents to explore, this expansive world of pocket monsters is home to many mighty trainers. The strongest are those who not only control powerful pokémon but understand them as well. For a strong bond between trainer and pokémon results in better strategies, communication, and a wealth of other boons born from true cooperation.
15 Lorelei
This cool trainer hails from the Kanto region and specializes in Ice-type Pokémon …and Slowbro. She uses bitterly cold Blizzard and Ice Beam attacks unleashed by wintery pokémon such as majestic Lapras and the fortified Cloyster. In battle, Lorelei will attempt to freeze her opponent’s Pokémon, rendering them helpless against further icy assaults.
She is the first member of the Elite Four in her homeland that the player can face in the Generation I Pokémon games. As such, she acts as the gatekeeper to the realms of the mightiest trainers in the whole region. Be sure to bring some fire and electricity to deal with her Ice-type and Water-type team.
14 Agatha
Another from the Kanto Elite Four, Agatha is one of the most experienced Pokémon trainers in the franchise. She has been raising and battling since she was a child; over half a century ago. She also has known professor Oak for a very long time, at one point they were quite close.
She uses Poison-type Pokémon, though her more prominent team members are her Ghost-type Pokémon Haunter and Gengar. Agatha’s team will poison and confuse enemies until they are rendered inert. Her tactics are even scarier when one learns that she might possibly be able to communicate with the dead.
13 Phoebe
Phoebe is an Elite Four member who also specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon, though she lives in the Hoenn region. Don’t take her casual appearance and relaxed nature as a sign of weakness, however, as her Dusclops and Sableye can curse one into oblivion.
Though, if that doesn’t work, she’ll use a flurry of heavy-hitting Ghost-type attacks like Shadow Punch and Shadow Ball. The only counter to her team is Dark-type pocket monsters or over-leveled ones of a type that takes neutral damage from her ethereal attacks.
12 Flannery
A fiery femme fatale from the Hoenn region’s Lavaridge Town is one of the fiercest trainers in the region. Flannery scorches foes to ashes with her burning passion for battle as well as for her Fire-type Pokémon. Her Torkoal is a resilient opponent who can unleash a devastating Overheat attack if left unchecked.
Even Water-type Pokémon may not quench her flames, as her Torkoal’s Drought renders aquatic attacks half as effective as they normally would be while boosting Fire-type attacks by a similar amount. Her Slugma and Magcargo are also tough adversaries who have great defensive bulk and powerful plumes of fire.
11 Karen
Famous for her line claiming that the truly strong trainers of the world only battle using their favorite Pokémon, Karen has become known as one of the mightiest Dark-type trainers in the series since her appearance in the Generation II games. She has a surprisingly well-rounded lineup for a team that consists mostly of one type.
Her Umbreon is a stalwart wall that can take, and dish out, many blows. Her Houndoom is a brutal foe with great damage output. She also has a Murkrow known to easily confound any enemy Pokémon with Confuse Ray before setting forth with a barrage of shadowy strikes.
10 Jessie
This Team Rocket member is one of the most recognizable characters in the franchise. She and her partner-in-crime James have been trying to steal Pikachu away from our protagonist Ash for the past twenty-three seasons of the anime, but this isn’t about them. In your average episode, she may seem like a pushover, but in reality, she’s quite the formidable foe.
Jessie has trained many powerful ‘mons, including her recognizable Wobbuffet and her Mimikyu, a recent but important ally. Additionally, she’s to be commended for her resilience, considering she has not given up her goal of snatching that electric creature for over twenty years!
9 Acerola
This little child may not look like a big deal, but she’s one of the strongest trainers in the Alolan region! One of the Elite Four for Generation VII and also a Trial Captain, Acerola poses a big threat to those who come unprepared. If you’re gonna fight her, be sure to bring some Full Restores!
Considered by some to be the most dangerous trainer of Alola, she commands Powerful Ghost-type pokémon. Some examples are Palossand, Froslass, and Dhelmise, all of which will cause trouble to beginners and pros alike if they don’t take enough precautions. Be wary of this little ghostly child!
8 Pokémon Trainer (Smash Ultimate)
While this may come as a surprise, this trainer very much deserves her spot on the top. This character is very popular within the Smash Bros community and is considered to be one of the strongest in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. Some players shun the character for its complexity since she has three Pokémon to choose from and can swap between them in real-time.
Her Squirtle is amazing at combos, Ivysaur has some of the best game-ending moves, and Charizard is a heavy (but still considerably fast) fighter with a very versatile set. Dedicated players won’t be disappointed to find that she’s very rewarding to play once you learn.
7 May
As much as May from the Anime is a strong contender, this is about her appearance in the games Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald. She fills the role of the rival for the main character and she’s very much feared by the speedrunning community because of her encounter on Route 110.
This battle, the second one against her, can be a real run-ender if the RNG isn’t on your side. No matter what starter you choose, she has a counter for each one. This is an infamous battle and you can see many speedrunners ragequit because of how unfair it is. Even as a casual player, if she catches you off-guard, you’re going to have it tough!
6 Honey
Straight from the newest DLC for Pokémon Sword & Shield, Honey is the Matron of the Isle of Armor Dojo. Married to Mustard, former champion of the Galar region, she’s just as powerful as he is when you battle them. No wonder they decided to open up a Dojo to train new Gym Challengers!
Honey’s team is incredibly strong and balanced, with something to counter almost every type. Additionally, her ace Pokémon can be a Gigantamax Venusaur or Blastoise, which can be a pain to take down with all your Pokémon weakened from battle. Don’t underestimate this pretty face!
5 Whitney
This fearsome trainer makes her debut in Pokémon Gold & Silver, as the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City. Despite only having a few Pokémon, her team is strong enough to stomp any challengers and she’s remarkably difficult to beat.
Her Milktank is particularly tough, with a move that heals half its hit points and one that can deal massive damage if left unwatched. She’s ended many Pokémon journeys because of how much of a challenge this Normal-Type Gym poses, and many question why she has to be so difficult to beat. All in all, only the best end up receiving her Plain Badge!
4 Argenta
One of the least well-known characters here, Argenta is the Frontier Brain in Sinnoh and Johto. She’s the only trainer to sport the title “Hall Matron” and she deserves it. She has an array of over 200 Pokémon to choose from, making it impossible to ever be well prepared for her battle.
Argenta is one of those trainers you have to go through to actually prove your worth as a battler. The thing is: You have to win FIFTY consecutive battles in the Battle Hall to even get the right to fight her, which is a considerable feat in itself! Either way, given how hard her fight is, people who’ve beaten her have all the bragging rights.
3 Bea
Bea, also known as the “Galar Karate Prodigy” by many, is the Fighting Type Gym Leader in Pokémon Sword. She may not look very flamboyant, but the Leader of the Stow-on-Side Stadium is one of the most powerful in the Galarian gym challenge.
In one of the shorts for the new Pokémon miniseries Twilight Wings, Bea can be seen training alongside her Machop, Machoke, and Machamp, all extremely fit Pokémon able to lift boulders and punch through mountains. Despite this, Bea can be seen outperforming them and even taking hits from Machamp like it was nothing! It truly takes extreme dedication to hone her body and mind to that extent!
2 Iris
Many citizens of Unova have heard of Iris and know her as “The Girl Who Knows The Heart Of Dragons.” A fitting epithet, considering that this trainer has more than just affinity for Dragon-Type Pokémon!
The adventures of this wild child don’t end there! In Pokémon Black 2 & White 2, Iris is the Champion of Unova, and her fearsome Haxorus is a threat to keep in mind. In challenge mode, she’s almost impossible to beat, and even seasoned players will struggle trying to beat this draconic maiden.
1 Cynthia
Cynthia is a Champion of great renown, waiting atop the Sinnoh Elite Four to test the mettle of only the crème de la crème of Pokémon trainers. She and her Garchomp are images of respect and power, known all across the Pokémon world and the community as well.
She doesn’t focus on a specific type, giving her a way to retaliate against any competition. Additionally, all her Pokémon have perfect stats and natures that directly help them, making the end of this journey a very painful one. All in all, Cynthia deserves the gold medal, declaring her the strongest of trainers.
