==History==
==In the anime==
Astrid debuted in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. She met up with [[Alain]] and started a battle with him. When Alain sent out his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, she noticed it wore a Mega Stone around its neck. Before Astrid sent out her Pokémon, she asked Alain for his name and then introduced herself. She then sent out her {{p|Absol}}, which she considers to be her strongest Pokémon. After having Charizard block a few attacks, Alain complimented Astrid on her Absol. After this he proposed to show each other's true power, and they proceeded to Mega Evolve their Pokémon.

In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Absol was the last Pokémon Astrid used in her battle against {{Ash}}. Ash brought out his {{AP|Hawlucha}} to battle it. Right after it was called out, Astrid Mega Evolved it. Hawlucha attacked with a {{m|High Jump Kick}}, but Mega Absol countered this with Shadow Claw. Hawlucha then tried using {{m|Karate Chop}}, but Mega Absol swiftly dodged this. Mega Absol then jumped on the roof of the nearby castle and used Dark Pulse from a distance. This completely overpowered Hawlucha, and it was knocked out.

==Trivia==
* Astrid's design is based on the female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Trainer class from {{pkmn|X and Y}}.
* Astrid owns the only two Pokémon introduced in Generation VI that have gender differences.
* Astrid's presence at the [[Lumiose Conference]] marks the first time in which Ash battles with an opponent who he has [[M17|already faced]] in a {{pkmn2|movie}}.
* In the [[Pokémon in Germany|German]] dub, her name is changed to Anabelle as not to clash with [[Olympia]], whose name is Astrid in that language.
** A similar thing occurs in the [[Pokémon in Spain|Castilian Spanish]] dub, although they keep the English name rather than renaming her.
