Character Sheet: Gardenia

GARDENIA

Next up, we have Gardenia, the Grass-type gym leader of Eterna Gym, and protector of the nearby Eterna Forest. On top of her gym and game appearances, she has an especially notable role in the anime, becoming the owner of James’s Cacnea in one of the more emotional episodes.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Roserade

It will perform a small Solar Beam.

 

Side B: Honey

A common thing to do in Gen IV specifically, she will use that to draw in opponents.

 

Up B: Giant Flower

A giant flower like the one in her Platinum gym will rise up underneath her.

 

Down B: Shrubbery

She will hide behind a tree or bush, just like the trainers in her Diamond and Pearl gym.

 

Final Smash: Eterna Gym Forest Guardians

She will send out Roserade, Cherrim, and Torterra, and they will make Eterna Forest pop up on the stage itself.

 

Entrance: Her opening pose and line.

 

Taunts: Up, her little spin that accidentally erased her top for one frame in the anime. Side, she will hug and snuggle a Cacnea. Down, she will smile as her Turtwig runs around her feet.

 

Kirby Hat: Her hair

 

Kart: Based on Turtwig

Special Move: Shrubbery

 

Spirit Battle: On Spear Pillar (omega form), with her original team.

 

Victory Screen: She will dance around excitedly and strike a pose.

Losing Screen: She will hand over her badge.

 

Color Swaps: Her original look, a dress like Cheryl’s, based on Roserade, based on Cherrim, based on Turtwig, based on Cacnea, based on Carnivine, based on Shaymin.

 

Thanks for reading! Next up, Maylene joins the battle!
