Marnie: Difference between revisions

'''Marnie''' (Japanese: '''マリィ''' ''Mary'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Bede]], and [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She eventually replaces her older brother [[Piers]] as the [[Gym Leader]] of her [[hometown]] [[Spikemuth]]. As the Spikemuth Gym Leader, she gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat her.

Marnie is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. She is a stoic but well-mannered girl who wants to become {{pkmn|Champion}} to support her hometown [[Spikemuth]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] is her {{p|Morpeko}}, who can be seen [[walking Pokémon|following her around]] outside of battle. She is constantly followed by her fan club, [[Team Yell]]. She can first be seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] while the player and [[Hop]] register for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. The player first meets Marnie in the lobby of [[Motostoke]]'s Budew Drop Inn, where she scolds a group of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s for causing trouble for the player, Hop, and other participants before introducing herself and apologizing on her behalf. After the player returns to Motostoke, the player has their first battle with her in the same lobby. The next day, Marnie will give them a copy of [[Kabu]]'s [[League Card]] and two [[Burn Heal]]s before seeing them off. The player later meets Marnie and Morpeko at [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where she learns her Morpeko has taken a liking to the player, and she gives them a copy of her League Card before officially acknowledging them as a rival.
