Greta appeared in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. Much like {{Ash}}, she is high-spirited and very passionate about Pokémon battles. As in the Emerald Version, she is the Frontier Brain of the Battle Arena, and runs a karate dojo. Unlike the games, however, she is a {{type|Fighting|Fighting-type}} [[Type expert|expert]]. According to [[Scott]], her role models are [[Chuck]] and [[Brawly]]. Before the battle, a wheel is spun to decide how many Pokémon will be used. While battles are Single Battles, the other Pokémon intended to be used remain outside of their [[Poké Ball]] until they faint. She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.

Greta used a {{p|Hariyama}} and {{p|Medicham}} in her battle against {{Ash}}. After a hard fought battle, Ash was able to win the [[Symbol|Guts Symbol]].

|desc={{p|Hariyama}} was the first Pokémon used by Greta in her battle with Ash, where it first battled with {{AP|Ash's Grovyle|Sceptile}}. Despite that {{p|Grovyle}} managed to outmatch Hariyama in speed and deal some damage on it, Greta was finally able to use Grovyle's momentum as her own advantage, and land a critical hit on the Wood Gecko Pokémon, knocking it out.

Ash next used his {{AP|Snorlax}} against the Arm Thrust Pokémon. Despite having disadvantage in type, {{p|Snorlax}} was able to keep itself safe from Hariyama's attacks by using {{m|Protect}}. Eventually, Hariyama was knocked out with an {{m|Ice Punch}}.

|desc=Greta chose {{p|Medicham}}, along with her {{p|Hariyama}} to battle {{Ash}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. It was the second to go up after Hariyama was defeated by Ash's Snorlax. Medicham overwhelmed Snorlax with its astounding speed and agility. With Ice Punch, Medicham was able to {{status|freeze}} Snorlax giving Greta a huge advantage.

Ash then commanded Snorlax to use {{m|Rest}}, and Greta told Medicham to attack Snorlax with repeated {{m|Focus Punch}}es in order to break the ice. Greta told Medicham to use {{m|High Jump Kick}} but Snorlax managed to dodge it, causing Medicham to take some damage. Snorlax then tried to attack it with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Medicham dodged it and hit it with {{m|Focus Punch}}.  

Just when it seemed it was all over for Ash, he commanded Snorlax to use Hyper Beam on the ground which catapulted it into the air. Using its altitude to his advantage, Ash told it to attack with a full-on {{m|Body Slam}}, defeating Medicham and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Guts Symbol]].

Greta debuts in the {{chap|Emerald}}. She is one of the seven Trainers hired by Scott to be a Frontier Brain at the Battle Frontier. Greta is first seen hosting the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony. The ceremony is interrupted by {{adv|Emerald}}, who announces that he wishes to conquer the Battle Frontier. The press mistakenly report the incident as allowing an ordinary Trainer to take part in the Battle Frontier before it officially opens a week later. The Frontier Brains decide to use this assumption as free publicity and allow Emerald to challenge the Battle Frontier under the condition that he completes it before it officially opens.

Later, while Emerald is challenging the Battle Pyramid, Noland is attacked by an unknown assailant and several rental Pokémon are stolen. After Noland is taken to a hospital, the other Frontier Brains begin to suspect Emerald as the culprit. They head to the Battle Pyramid to confront Emerald and find him after having defeated Brandon. When they ask him about what happened, Emerald reveals that he did not attack Noland and is actually after the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}}. The Frontier Brains find Emerald's explanation suspicious, but decide to follow him into [[Artisan Cave]], where Jirachi is currently located at. Upon arriving, everyone is attacked by a horde of wild {{p|Smeargle}} while Emerald continues inside to find Jirachi. After the Frontier Brains get past the Smeargle, they meet up with Emerald, who has managed to find Jirachi. Emerald attempts to capture Jirachi, but is attacked by [[Guile Hideout]], the actual culprit who attacked Noland.  

At the Battle Arena, Greta is Emerald's fourth opponent, and Emerald is allowed to battle her directly. Both sides fight hard, but Emerald eventually emerges as the victor, earning himself the Guts Symbol in the process. The battle leaves Emerald so exhausted that he and his Pokémon fall asleep. Greta brings Emerald and his Pokémon to the Battle Frontier's accommodations to sleep properly. When Greta and [[Todd Snap|reporter Todd]] undress Emerald to make his sleep more comfortable, they are shocked to find that Emerald is much shorter than he initially appears. Todd kicks Greta out of the room and asks her to pretend she saw nothing.  

The next day, Greta assists the other Frontier Brains in ushering people to the Battle Dome. During the tournament, Guile appears and manages to capture Jirachi. Guile uses the rental Pokémon to the attack innocent bystanders and heads to the Battle Tower to make his wish. Once he arrives at the Battle Tower, Guile uses Jirachi to wish for a gigantic Kyogre made of seawater to flood the entire Battle Frontier. Greta and the other Frontier Brains work together to get civilians to safety and fight off Guile's rental Pokémon while Emerald and the other Pokédex holders fight Guile. Eventually Emerald and the Pokédex holders manage to defeat Guile and destroy the gigantic Kyogre monster. The day after, an injured Greta and the other Frontier Brains congratulate Emerald for the hard work he put into saving everyone.  

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Greta and the other Hoenn Frontier Brains battle and defeat the Admins of Neo [[Team Magma]] and Neo [[Team Aqua]], who had interfered in the launch of a rocket that was made to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the world. Greta attempts to interrogate the Admins on the location of their accomplice, [[Zinnia]], only for the Admins to deny knowing where she had gone.

|desc={{p|Umbreon}} is Greta's first known Pokémon. It was first seen at the Battle Frontier's opening ceremony alongside its Trainer. At Artisan Cave, it was used to battle Guile's army of stolen rental Pokémon. At the Battle Arena, Greta used Umbreon as her second Pokémon. It managed to defeat [[Emerald's Dusclops]], but was defeated by his {{TP|Emerald|Sudowoodo}}.

Umbreon’s known moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Feint Attack}}, and {{m|Confuse Ray}}, and its Ability is {{a|Synchronize}}.}}

|desc={{p|Shedinja}} is Greta's second known Pokémon. It was first used at the Battle Arena to battle Emerald. There, it was the third Pokémon Greta used and battled Emerald's Sudowoodo. Despite its single hit point, Shedinja managed to defend against Sudowoodo's super-effective hits and fight back. Despite this, Sudowoodo survived Shedinja's attacks, allowing it to win via assessment.

|desc={{p|Heracross}} is Greta's third known Pokémon. It was first used at the Battle Arena to battle Emerald. There, it was the first Pokémon Greta used and battle [[Emerald's Sceptile]]. Although Sceptile survived Heracross's Megahorn, it was defeated via assessment afterward.

* Greta is the only female Frontier Brain of the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Hoenn Battle Frontier]] who did not gain a crush on one of the main characters in the anime.
