==In the core series==

Lenora appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Nacrene City's Gym. This Gym is the second to be challenged by the {{player}}. Trainers who defeat Lenora will receive the Basic Badge, along with {{TM|67|Retaliate}}. She reappears in [[Pinwheel Forest]] after the player defeats [[Team Plasma]], where she gives the player a [[Moon Stone]]. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', it was sent out to battle [[Ash's Oshawott]], first using {{m|Mean Look}} to prevent it from returning to its {{i|Poké Ball}}. While Oshawott was initially able to withstand its {{m|Thunderbolt}} with its [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]], Watchog quickly separated Oshawott and its scalchop, allowing it to defeat Oshawott with its {{type|Electric}} attack.

In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a Herdier. Lenora decided to use it as her second Gym battle against Ash in order to test him against a different Pokémon after his hard training at the local [[Battle Club]]. It again used Roar to force Ash's Tepig to return into its Poké Ball, forcing Oshawott into the battle. After this, Herdier was recalled back into its Ball. It was called out again later to battle Tepig after Oshawott had tied with Watchog. Herdier proved to be far stronger than Lillipup, using the powerful {{m|Giga Impact}} to make things difficult for Tepig. However Tepig was faster and more powerful than before and battled hard, finally taking Herdier out with his newly-learned {{m|Flame Charge}}.

* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|ナチュラル　ボーン　ママ|Natural-born mama}}.

** In the original magazine printings of [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is shown wearing the apron in the first few panels she appears in before throwing it away to start her Gym battle with Black. Afterward, she is never seen wearing it again. When this round was collected into {{PAV|45}}, the apron was only seen slung over her shoulder before she threw it away to begin the Gym battle. In the international release by VIZ Media, the apron was removed altogether.

** In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not shown with an apron at all.

* Lenora is the only Gym Leader introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} that cannot be battled outside the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.
