Rika is one of the Paldea Elite Four, working under Geeta, and has a laid-back, tomboyish personality. She calls the player "kiddo" as a nickname. Aside from her duties in the Elite Four, she also serves as the receptionist for the Pokémon League, interviewing the player during the first part of the Champion Assessment. She is the first of the Elite Four to be faced. Later, after the player becomes a Champion, she observes their battle against Nemona in Mesagoza.

The player must answer the interview questions correctly in the Champion Assessment in order to be able to challenge the Elite Four. Any incorrect answer results in the player being kicked out immediately, and the player must restart the interview from the beginning.

The Indigo Disk

Rika accompanies Geeta to Blueberry Academy in Unova, where they reunite with the player. Rika angrily chastises them for having gone into Area Zero previously without permission, before Geeta asks her to calm down. Rika can eventually return to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be rebattled.
