Karen's Biography

There are two different sides to Karen in the games she is seen. She is a kind hearted and skilled pokemon trainer who specializes in dark types. Her policy was there's no such thing as weak or strong pokemon, people should try to win with their favorite, in her case, her Umbreon. She was the second strongest trainer in Johto. Her party was Umbreon, Vileplume, Gengar, Murkrow, and Houndoom. In the manga she was one of the masked children kidnapped at birth by the mask of ice and trained to do his bidding and she was cruel, mean and psychotic. Her only Pokemon were her Umbreon and two Murkrows. In HeartGold and SoulSilver she returned with the same attitude and same party but now had new moves and a new outfit, when defeated she will use a different team consisting of Umbreon, Houndoom, Spiritomb, Absol, Weavile, and Honchkrow.
