Lorelei's name was changed to '''Prima''' in the English version of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. According to [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]], this was to fit the amount of syllables; the English name "Lorelei" is three syllables while the Japanese name "Kanna" is only two.

While on [[Mandarin Island South]], {{Ash}} learned that Prima was going to be giving a lecture. {{an|Misty}} was very excited, as Prima was her idol.

 

Ash enthusiastically challenged her, but Prima didn't seem to take notice of him, unimpressed by the young Trainer. Prima did, however, invite them to her lecture and demonstration.

Prima had a sort of dreamy, spaced-out personality and often reacted slowly to things. Her strategy in life is to go with the flow, like water, but to become as hard as ice in battle.

 

She sells recordings of her lectures at high prices.

Lorelei appeared briefly in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]''. She was seen being challenged and defeated by {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, allowing Red to move on and challenge [[Bruno]].

Lorelei froze {{adv|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] in ice, causing them severe injuries that continued to harm them for several years. She later found {{adv|Yellow}} and Bill in Viridian Forest and attacked them with her Dewgong and Cloyster. She used their combined powers to make an "{{m|Icicle Spear|Ice Spike Cannon}}" to bury the two of them alive but Yellow used Pikachu to study the move from inside its Poké Ball. Yellow read Pikachu's mind and knocked out Cloyster, making the attack useless. Lorelei then gave chase to her and Bill and, once they jumped into a river, Lorelei froze it over. Lorelei then started asking questions about Yellow's power and if she could read Pika's past thoughts. Before these questions were answered, Yellow had [[Ratty]] use {{m|Hyper Fang}} through the iceberg and free them. When Lorelei was about to send out her Pokémon once again, Green deflected her Poké Ball and Yellow and Bill got away. Lorelei then contacted Agatha with her cosmetics case about Yellow's ability and proclaims that if Yellow's power grows she will be able to read the past memories of Pika and learn the details of Red and Bruno's battle. She then delegated Yellow as the new target of the Elite Four.

{{adv|Green}} and Sabrina battle Lorelei at [[Cerise Island]]. Lorelei used her voodoo dolls to chain Green and Sabrina together and eventually freeze them, just as she had done to Red. The lack of teamwork between Green and Sabrina got Green knocked out (Green was being targeted since she was the one who had humiliated Lorelei in her battle with Yellow). After a while Green woke up and was able to save the herself and Sabrina with [[Blasty]] before they fell of a cliff. She had her Clefable use Minimize to steal the dolls from Lorelei, having Blasty break the two dolls and inadvertently severing Green's arm in the process. It was then revealed that the whole time her arm was actually Ditty and that getting her arm "cut off" was part of her plans and had Ditty tie her up. Sabrina suffered from lasting injuries caused by Lorelei's ice cuffs. As a result, she and Red were forced to deal with painful wounds for a very long time (since Green's arm that was in the cuffs was Ditty, she did not suffer the same injuries).

Lorelei vanished for several years, and only recently made another appearance when she saved Red and {{adv|Blue}} from Team Rocket's [[Beast Warrior Trio]]. Lorelei decided to ally herself with Red and Blue because Team Rocket invaded her home, {{OBP|Four Island|town}} of the [[Sevii Islands]].

Jynx's known moves are {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Pound}}, {{m|Lovely Kiss}}, and {{m|Thrash}}.}}

They was first seen while Yellow and the others were flying on a Jigglypuff and Green used her special goggles to see through her {{DL|Green (Adventures)|Horsea}}'s {{m|SmokeScreen}}.

None of their moves are known.}}

|desc={{p|Slowbro}} is a Pokémon belonging to Lorelei that is not an {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. This specific Slowbro was used to battle against Green and Sabrina.

* Lorelei is the only member of the Kanto Elite Four, excluding the Champion, to not use two Pokémon of the same species at once. Bruno has two {{TP|Bruno|Onix}}, Agatha has two {{p|Gengar}}, and Lance has two {{p|Dragonair}}.

* Lorelei is the first Elite Four member other than the Champion to be seen outside of battle in the games. This is only true for Generation III.

* In the French localizations of [[Generation I]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, she's depicted with a stereotypical and prominent German accent.
