'''Poppy''' (Japanese: '''ポピー''' ''Poppy'') is a member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] region. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Appearance==
Poppy is a young female child with fair skin, onyx black eyes, black hair, and an average build. Her attire is mostly in a grayish-blue color, involving the visor on her head, her trenchcoat, and dress shoes. She also wears black gloves on both hands and faded cream white tights on her legs. Additionally, she carries a key-shaped purse that she wears around her neck like a necklace. In ''Pokémon Masters EX'', an alternate palette of her default appearance shows her visor, trenchcoat, and dress shows being bright azalea pink. Her key-shaped purse is purple, while the gloves and tights are pink.

==In the core series games==
Poppy is first introduced to the {{player}} by [[Rika]] after they have won seven [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. Although she is far younger than the rest of the Elite Four, as well as Paldea's [[Gym Leader]]s, Poppy is considered one of the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[region]]. She is normally sweet and good-natured, but becomes competitive during {{pkmn|battle}}s. Because of her age, she refers to her Pokémon with childlike nicknames, referring to Copperajah as "Rajah" and Tinkaton as "Tinkie". After the player becomes a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Poppy watches their battle against [[Nemona]] in [[Mesagoza]]. Additionally, Poppy looks up to [[Rika]] as a mentor, despite Rika claiming Poppy is a better Trainer than she is, and [[Larry]], whom she speaks highly of.

===The Indigo Disk===
Poppy can be invited to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. There, she decides to start attending classes at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in the following school year. When talking with [[Geeta]] in the [[League Club Room]], Poppy reveals that she's trying to draw a picture of her superior, which is a nod to Geeta's [[Appendix:Glossary (Production)|settei]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231217021830/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736207644665221229 Poppy's dialogue in the new Pokemon DLC references Geeta's concept art - Twitter]</ref> When interacting with Larry, Poppy asks if she is his best friend, but Larry, unable to answer, changes the subject, annoying Poppy. When conversing with Rika, Poppy is annoyed that the students mistake her for a lost kid, prompting her friend to reply with a remark on how adorable she is, which quickly cheers her up.

===Pokémon===
Poppy will {{Tera}}stallize her {{p|Tinkaton}} at the first opportunity.
