In {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, Caitlin is the employer of [[Darach]] and oversees his [[Battle Castle]] {{pkmn|battle}}s. She is responsible for determining how many {{DL|Battle Castle|Castle Points|CP}} the {{player}} should receive depending on the outcome of the battle. She is said to be the most important person in the Battle Castle and acts like its princess.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Caitlin appears as a member of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Unova]]; she traveled to the [[region]] alone in order to develop her skills further. It is revealed that she possesses some sort of psychic powers, and that in the past, she had an explosive temper that would erupt if she lost a battle causing her psychic powers to cause a lot of damage. This is the reason why [[Darach]] fought in her place in [[Generation IV]].<ref>Caitlin: "''In the past, when I battled, the force of my emotions shook me greatly. When my power awoke, I came close to destroying everything around me. That weak person no longer exists... Still, sometimes, my determination fails.''"</ref> It may also explain why she was quite impatient, as she demanded that Darach give the player Castle Points "at once!" after each victory in the Battle Castle.

She later appears in a villa that she is lending to [[Cynthia]], as do the other female [[Gym Leader]]s and Elite Four members. She also mentions her time at the [[Battle Castle]] while in the villa.

Caitlin first appeared alongside her valet [[Darach]] when she misheard {{adv|Looker}} referring to {{adv|Platinum}} as "Lady" as talking to her. When Looker tried to tell her about the mistake, Darach's Gallade immediately attacked him, stripping him down to his underwear. She later watched Platinum and Darach battle at the Battle Castle and scolded Darach when he was defeated. It is later revealed that Caitlin has gained a desire to battle after watching Platinum's battle against Darach. This desire to fight causes her latent psychic powers to awaken and go out of control while Caitlin crazily mutters the word "fight" over and over. She is calmed down by Darach when he offers her some tea.

It is revealed that she has become a member of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. She reappears in the {{un|Pokémon League}}, when the Elite Four assemble before the tournament started. As they discuss [[Alder]]'s recent defeat by the hands of {{adv|N}}, the Elite Four inquire what to do about [[Team Plasma]]. Caitlin chooses to let Team Plasma continue their speeches, as they're technically not doing anything wrong. Despite defending Team Plasma's freedom of speech, Caitlin feels that their kidnapping of the Gym Leaders is too much and needs to be stopped. By using the ability of her Gothitelle and her own psychic powers, Caitlin begins to communicate with the Gym Leaders to try and find their current location. She is unable to determine the Gym Leader's location, but Caitlin is able to find out that they are alright. She travels to the location of {{adv|Black}}'s Gym battle against [[Drayden]] to relay a message to Black from the Gym Leaders.
