'''Visquez''' (Japanese: '''ビスケス''' ''Visquez'') is the [[Vermilion City]] [[Gym Leader]] in the absence of [[Lt. Surge]]. She gives the {{badge|Thunder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In animation==
Visquez is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]''.

She first battled a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and his {{p|Hypno}} with her {{p|Raichu}}, eventually emerging victorious. While cleaning up the mess left by the {{pkmn|battle}}, she received word that a challenger was coming to battle her for the [[World Coronation Series]], who turned out to be {{Ash}}. Visquez remembered Ash from his battle against Lt. Surge, and they had a two-on-two battle, with Visquez using her Raichu and {{p|Electrode}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Gengar}}. The battle ended in Visquez's loss, causing her rank to go down.

Afterwards, Visquez said goodbye to Ash and [[Goh]]. She promised Ash that she would tell Lt. Surge about the battle they had and how Ash had evolved as a Trainer since then.

===Character===
Although she is tough, Visquez encourages all of the Trainers she faces to do their best in battle. Despite being a replacement Gym Leader, Visquez is well-respected in [[Vermilion City]].
