Macy (Japanese: モエ Moe) is a Pokémon Trainer from Mahogany Town who entered the Silver Conference.
History
She first appeared in Love, Pokémon Style. Macy is a Fire-type enthusiast and owns at least three. She developed a crush on Ash when he saved her from injury when her Vulpix was stolen by Team Rocket, and it only grew when he returned it. She later faced Ash in the preliminary rounds of the Silver Conference, where she proved to be skilled at deflecting her type preference's weakness to Water-types. She lost to Ash when Squirtle defeated her Electabuzz and Quilava. After their battle, Macy said, due to it evolving in their battle, her Magcargo is a sign of their relationship.
Macy also appeared at the beginning of Tie One On! where she faced Jackson in the second match of the preliminary round. She won the match with the help of her Quilava, but due to Ash's draw with Jackson, she was eliminated from competing further. Her next appearances were cameos during Ash's battle with Gary where she cheered Ash on.

Trivia
- Macy has similarities with another one of Ash's Johto rivals, Casey: in the English dub, their names sound strikingly similar; they share the same voice actress in English; and Macy owns an Electabuzz, which happens to be the mascot of Casey's favorite baseball team. It is also the evolved form of one of her own Pokémon.
- Macy is one of the rare occasions a girl became attracted to Ash and even hoped to go on a date with him. Notably, she is the first girl to do so in the main series anime.
