Candice (スズナ Suzuna) serves as the Gym Leader at the Snowpoint City Gym. She specializes in Ice-type Pokémon and holds the Icicle Badge for the trainers that can defeat her.

In Anime

Candice appeared in Pokémon Galactic Battles episode 21 as a teacher. Zoey calls her Ms Senior, because she is Zoey's senior to her junior, and She calls Zoey by the nickname "Zo-zo." When Zoey told Dawn, Ash, and Brock about when she got her Glameow, she mentioned that Candice helped her take care of Glameow when she was too young to have a Pokémon.

In Episode 22 She had her Gym Battle with Ash, in traditional 4-on-4 style with her Snover, Sneasel, Medicham and Abomasnow, her partner. In the end however she lost and gave Ash the Icicle Badge.

Sometime later, Candice can be seen again at the Snowpoint Temple. Candice and Veilstone City's Maylene are best friends.
