Pokémon/Characters/Phoebe

Phoebe is a character in the Pokémon video game series. She is a member of Hoenn's Elite Four and the second member the protagonist faces. She is an expert on Ghost-type Pokémon, drawing obvious parallels to Agatha in Pokémon Red and Blue and Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green. She wears two flowers in her hair and a blue boob tube that exposes her lower belly and a blue sarong patterned with Pokéballs. She is also related to the elderly couple that live on Mt. Pyre.

English: Phoebe

French: Spectra

German: Antonia

Italian: Ester

Spanish: Fátima

Her name means "bright one", but was problably chosen because it's similar to "phobia" or to "phantom". Her German name comes from "phantom"("ghost"). Her French name is similar to "spectre"("ghost"). As regards her Italian name, it could derive from "spettro"("spectre"), "esoterico"("esoteric") or "esper"("extra sensorial perception"). Her Spanish name is very similar to "fantasma" ("ghost").

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald, Phoebe's Pokémon are as follows:

• Dusclops Lv 48: Confuse ray, Curse, Future sight, Shadow punch
• Dusclops Lv 50: Earthquake, Ice beam, Shadow ball, Confuse ray
• Banette Lv 49: Faint attack, Spite, Will-o-wisp, Shadow ball
• Banette Lv 49: Shadow ball, Psychic, Toxic, Skill swap
• Sableye Lv 50: Shadow ball, Psychic, Faint attack, Attract

As with all Ghost-type Pokémon, Dark-types are effective against Phoebe's team and Psychic-types are weak against them. Normal- and Fighting-type attacks are not effective and their use should be avoided.

Phoebe is a leader of the Hoenn league. This is her Pokémon team:
