In the anime, Bertha has a [[Bertha's Golem|Golem]], a [[Bertha's Gliscor|Gliscor]], and her signature Pokemon, Hippodown . She used her Hippodown to battle Ash's recently evolved Torterra, which put up a decent fight but lost in the end. She didn't want at first for [[Ash]] and [[Dawn]] to know that she was an Elite Four Member. [[Brock]] recognized her right away.

Revision as of 07:03, 19 September 2014

Template:EliteFour Bertha (Japanese: キクノ Kikuno) is the second Elite Four member fought in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. Her team is comprised of Ground-type Pokémon (some are part Water). With this said, it is best to avoid using Electric-type Pokémon against her, as they will not last long in the battle. The best alternative is to have either a Water or most recommended Grass-type Pokémon because she has part-water type Pokémon, such as Empoleon or Torterra, when fighting her. The strongest Pokémon on her team is Hippowdon. Her Pokémon levels range in the 50's, so it is wise to be prepared with Potions, Revives, etc., and leveled up properly. In Platinum, her Pokémon will get stronger the more you battle her.
