Character from Pokémon Platinum by Game Freak / Nintendo
The Sinnoh Elite Four's second member — an elderly Ground-type specialist who emphasizes observation over brute force and prefers not to have the Elite Four title mentioned.
Bertha is the first female Ground-type specialist and first Ground-type Elite Four member in the series, and she would tell you this is less important than the observation skills that got her there. She emphasizes watching carefully — in everyday life, in battles, in the way Pokémon move. Useful information is everywhere, she says, if you're paying attention. She doesn't particularly like having her Elite Four status announced or discussed. She finds the expectation that comes with the title counterproductive. She'd rather you fight her without assumptions. Her Hippowdon is her ace — a Pokémon that wins through sustained pressure rather than sudden force. This is her style. She has been winning this way for a long time.
An elderly woman with grey hair, brown eyes, and the weathered face of someone who has trained outdoors across a long career. Wears earthy-toned robes that match her Ground-type specialty. Carries herself with the unhurried authority of someone who has already seen how most battles end.
Also known as: Bertha, Kikuno
