'''Daisy Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・ナナミ''' ''Nanami Okido'') is the older sister of {{ga|Blue}}, and the granddaughter of [[Professor Oak]]. She is known as '''May''' (Japanese: '''サツキ''' ''Satsuki'') in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.

In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Daisy gives the player a [[Town Map]] (despite her brother telling her not to) if he or she visits her after receiving a [[starter Pokémon]]. She gives free [[Pokémon groomer|grooming]] to one of the player's Pokémon in the [[Generation II]] games once per day between 3 and 4 PM, and in FireRed and LeafGreen after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]].  One must walk two step cycles, or 512 total steps, before Daisy will offer to groom a Pokémon again.

Also in FireRed and LeafGreen, after receiving the National Dex, Daisy will tell a player how [[friendship|happy]] their Pokémon are. She's well-known for being adored by all kinds of Pokémon. It is said that when she's around, even the most ferocious Pokémon calm down. Daisy enjoys tea every day, and buys hers from the [[Celadon Department Store]]. She's also a champion [[Pokémon Coordinator]], having won the Spring [[Pokémon Contest]] some years back.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, she gives the player Blue's number so they can call and arrange a [[rematch#Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|rematch]] with him at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. She will only share this once she has given seven massages and been shown one Pokémon with maxed friendship (7 grooms in the English versions of HGSS).

Also returning from previous generations, Daisy, still located in her home of [[Pallet Town]], will groom one of the player's Pokémon for free once daily between 3:01 and 4:00 PM. As in Generation II, it will raise a Pokémon's friendship greatly, however, it will also raise the Pokémon's {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} stat. This is not displayed anywhere in-game, and the Pokémon must be seen from the point of view of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to notice. Despite this, {{p|Feebas}} whose Beauty is maxed out this way can [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}.

:I hope you’ll remain a good rival to my little brother."

:::''"OK, I'll get it looking nice in no time."''  

::'''No''':''"Really? You won’t? I see… How disappointing."''

::'''Yes''':''"Which one should I groom?"''

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Daisy works as Professor Oak's research assistant and is in charge of the [[Kanto]] laboratory whenever Professor Oak goes to [[Johto]]. She owns a {{p|Chansey}} that her grandfather gave her and a {{p|Clefairy}} she uses for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. She was also a close friend of the first [[Magma Admin Courtney]] when she was a Coordinator. At the end of Gold Silver & Crystal, she is working as Bill's assistant, her position being taken over by Crystal. By the {{chap|Platinum}}, Daisy has become a famous doctor in her own right.

|desc={{p|Clefairy}} only appeared in a flashback while Daisy was participating in a Contest with {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} before the latter became a member of Team Magma.

===Pokémon Zensho===

The [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga depicts the scenario where Daisy gives {{Zensho|Satoshi}} a [[Town Map]]. Later on, in [[Lavender Town]] with {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, [[Professor Oak|Oak]] tells Satoshi and Shigeru the story on how she and her brother lost their parents in a car accident when they were young, resulting in him raising them since.

 

*Coincidentally, the two different names she has in English are the same as {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]]'s older sisters, {{an|Daisy}} and {{an|May}} respectively.
