Anime

Main Series

Winona's first appearance in the anime was in the episode "Who's Flying Now?". Just as in the game, Winona is the Fortree City Gym Leader, though in the anime Winona's Swellow is a shiny Pokémon. When Ash made a visit to the Fortree Gym he discovered that Winona was not in the Gym, but that she was at a local festival. Upon meeting her, Ash is still unable to battle her due to Team Rocket's interference. The two battle in the next episode "Sky High Gym Battle". Ash won the battle using Grovyle, Swellow, and Pikachu against Winona's Altaria, Pelipper and her own Swellow. When defeated, Winona rewarded Ash with the Feather Badge.

Trivia

• Winona and Clair are the only known Gym Leaders to own a shiny Pokémon.
• Her name Winona may possibly have a play on the word "wind" (hence the first three letters) which is associated with air or flying, which makes sense since she is a flying type trainer.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, she is portrayed as has a kind of relationship with Wallace, though nor in the anime or the games confirmed its legibility.
• She has a shiny Swellow both in the games and anime. But it was replaced by other Flying type Pokémon on later instalment (Pokémon Emerald).
