'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}. | |||
==In the core series games== | |||
===Character profile=== | |||
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female, non-playable character Champion introduced in the [[core series]]. Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'' ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]])</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"'' ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins)</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". | |||
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. | |||
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon League, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up. | |||
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown. | |||
===Appearance=== | |||
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|right|200px|Cynthia's appearance without her coat can be seen in her concept art for {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}.]] | |||
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possessing similar facial structures and colors. | |||
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her hips. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs. Artwork without her coat and hair decorations are seen in concept art for Diamond and Pearl. | |||
Cynthia owns a [[Pokédex]] and, in [[Generation VII]], she has a [[Key Stone]]. Where these items are held are unknown. | |||
===Role=== | |||
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl==== | |||
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.'' | |||
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey. | |||
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle. | |||
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}. | |||
====Pokémon Platinum==== | |||
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events. | |||
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the [[Pokédex]]. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex. | |||
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. | |||
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}. | |||
During the post-game, she will appear at the [[Celestic Ruins]], explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. | |||
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano. | |||
====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver==== | |||
[[File:Cynthiasinjoh.png|thumb|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]] | |||
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia makes an appearance in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], doing further investigation on the origins of {{p|Arceus}} and the [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her. | |||
====Generation V==== | |||
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{season}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. | |||
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. | |||
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded. | |||
====Generation VII==== | |||
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit. | |||
===Pokémon=== | |||
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VIII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types. Her Pokémon usage from Platinum is reflected in [[Volo]]'s team in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, owning the exact same Pokémon with exception of {{p|Milotic}}. | |||
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with [[Red's Pikachu]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]]. | |||

It takes place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. Her Garchomp starts the battle as {{p|Gible}} and can evolve to {{p|Gabite}} and then {{p|Garchomp}} during the battle. The other members of her team are [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023. | |||
Cynthia and her Garchomp also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. It also takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Cynthia's team includes [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. On the Casual difficulty, all four of the other trainers are replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In a Leon themed event, Cythnia only appears on the Expert and Extreme difficulties, being replaced by an Ace Trainer on lower difficulties. In this mode, Cynthia and her Garchomp never use [[Holowear]]. | |||
Cynthia | |||
Her | Unlike other Trainers in this game, Cynthia and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Cynthia has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Garchomp with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[X Attack]]. | ||
Cynthia appears as a Background element for a Trainer's Unite Snapshot. This uses the same artwork as her own Unite Snapshot, but does not feature Garchomp. Her outfit can be worn as a Trainer Outfit by players. (It does not consist of separate items and cannot be worn with any additional items.) This outfit is rendered as a model, unlike Cynthia. | |||

==In the manga== | |||
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]] | |||
===Pokémon Adventures=== | |||
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. | |||
====History==== | |||
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===== | |||
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh. | |||
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}===== | |||
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade I]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. In the [[PS348|following chapter]], after laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]]. | |||
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210. | |||
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection. | |||
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans. | |||
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus. | |||
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh. | |||
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}===== | |||
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor. | |||
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training. | |||

** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself. | |||
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain. | |||
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}. The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; he instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Like Cynthia, Volo always begins the battle by sending out Spiritomb. | |||
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter and battle themes. | |||
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event. | |||

Latest revision as of 19:08, 15 September 2024
Cynthia (Japanese: シロナ Shirona) is an archeologist who is also the Champion of the Sinnoh region's Pokémon League in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.
In the core series games
Character profile
Cynthia is the Champion of the Sinnoh region, who makes her first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. She also the first female, non-playable character Champion introduced in the core series. Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with Legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.[4] Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.[5] Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon".
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by Caitlin and the player found in Unova and in Sinnoh's Battle Zone respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit.
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped Professor Rowan with his Pokédex, embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including Pokémon Eggs. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon League, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to Volo and Cogita, implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.
Appearance
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of Volo and Cogita, possessing similar facial structures and colors.
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her hips. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs. Artwork without her coat and hair decorations are seen in concept art for Diamond and Pearl.
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a Key Stone. Where these items are held are unknown.
Role
Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl
Website blurbBDSP: A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.
Cynthia makes her first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where she meets up with the player at various points during their journey.
She will first meet the player in Eterna City, where she takes an interest in them for owning a Pokédex given to them by Professor Rowan. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about Sinnoh's Pokémon of Myth, she then offers HM01 (Cut) to the player. After the player defeats Crasher Wake and Maylene, and follows a Team Galactic Grunt found in Pastoria City to Lake Valor, the player runs into Cynthia again at Valor Lakefront, where she is researching the Pokémon of the lake, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild Psyduck that appear at Route 210, giving them the SecretPotion that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the Old Charm to deliver to her grandmother at Celestic Town. In Hearthome City, Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated Fantina, making mention of Team Galactic and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the Pokémon League as the Champion, serving as the player's final obstacle.
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, she can also be battled against at the Battle Tower.
Pokémon Platinum
In Pokémon Platinum, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at Eterna City, where she takes notice of the Pokédex that Professor Rowan has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that Sinnoh has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the Pokémon of Myth, she provides the player with HM01 (Cut), and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After Jupiter's defeat in the Team Galactic Eterna Building, Cynthia meets the player at the cycle shop and happily gives the player a Togepi Egg, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.
After the player defeats Crasher Wake in Pastoria City and follows a Team Galactic Grunt towards Lake Valor, the player runs into Cynthia again at Valor Lakefront, where she is researching the Pokémon of the lake, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild Psyduck that appear at Route 210 and gives them the SecretPotion that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the Old Charm to deliver to her grandmother in Celestic Town. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by Team Galactic, having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards Canalave City and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex.
At the summit of Mount Coronet, Cynthia arrives at the Spear Pillar once Cyrus has been dragged into the Distortion World by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the Pokémon of Myth alongside Dialga and Palkia, a Pokémon named Giratina. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the Lake guardians have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the Sendoff Spring, where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the Champion of the Pokémon League.
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic Ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the Plates found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called the Original One. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off.
The player meets Cynthia again at Snowpoint City after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the Fight Area, and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the Resort Area, and takes mention of her love for the piano.
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Cynthia makes an appearance in the Sinjoh Ruins, doing further investigation on the origins of Arceus and the Pokémon of Myth. If the player has an Arceus with a fateful encounter marker or from the Hall of Origin when they visit the Ruins of Alph, the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.
Generation V
During Generation V, Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to Caitlin in Undella Town, where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer seasons. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, Shauntal and Caitlin can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in Pokémon Black and White only, Lenora, Elesa, Iris, and Skyla visit in the summer.
In Pokémon Black and White, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated Giratina, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Cynthia can also be battled in the Champions Tournament at the Pokémon World Tournament. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with Iris being excluded.
Generation VII
In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, Cynthia appears in Alola's Battle Tree as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.
Pokémon
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each generation between Generations IV and VIII, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in type and selection, between them all. In Pokémon Platinum and in rematches in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types. Her Pokémon usage from Platinum is reflected in Volo's team in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, owning the exact same Pokémon with exception of Milotic.
Her Garchomp has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with Red's Pikachu in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an NPC outside of battle facilities.

Pokémon UNITE
Cynthia and her Garchomp appear in Pokémon UNITE as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. Her Garchomp starts the battle as Gible and can evolve to Gabite and then Garchomp during the battle. The other members of her team are Korrina, Raihan, Leon, and Green. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.
Cynthia and her Garchomp also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring Solo Challenge event. It also takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Cynthia's team includes Korrina, Raihan, Leon, and Green. On the Casual difficulty, all four of the other trainers are replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In a Leon themed event, Cythnia only appears on the Expert and Extreme difficulties, being replaced by an Ace Trainer on lower difficulties. In this mode, Cynthia and her Garchomp never use Holowear.
Unlike other Trainers in this game, Cynthia and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Cynthia has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Garchomp with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her Battle Item is not shown. However, she uses X Attack.
Cynthia appears as a Background element for a Trainer's Unite Snapshot. This uses the same artwork as her own Unite Snapshot, but does not feature Garchomp. Her outfit can be worn as a Trainer Outfit by players. (It does not consist of separate items and cannot be worn with any additional items.) This outfit is rendered as a model, unlike Cynthia.

History
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
In All About Arceus IX, Cynthia is seen in the Johto region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by Palmer, a Frontier Brain who also hails from Sinnoh.
Diamond & Pearl arc
Cynthia first appears in Ring Around the Roserade I. She is first seen in Eterna City, where she correctly predicts the evolutions of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's Tru, Chimler, and Piplup. In the following chapter, after laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against Gardenia. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the Team Galactic Eterna Building in order to rescue Rad Rickshaw, who was kidnapped by Team Galactic.
In Suffering Psyduck, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the Pokémon Mansion. Cynthia reveals that Mr. Backlot, the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a Psyduck that went missing. She takes the three to Route 210, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a SecretPotion, Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's grandmother, who had been forced to stay at the Café Cabin due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to Celestic Town. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her Garchomp to her grandmother for protection.
In Halting Honchkrow, Cynthia appears at the Team Galactic HQ to confront Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with Draco Meteor, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's Gyarados, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the Spear Pillar to begin his plans.
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon Dialga and Palkia, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the Sinnoh region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.
Platinum arc
In The Final Dimensional Duel I, Cynthia is taken to Veilstone City by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.
In The Final Dimensional Duel X, Cynthia appears in Sunyshore City, where she defeats Charon and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the Distortion World left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.
Pokémon
- Main article: Cynthia's Garchomp
Garchomp is Cynthia's strongest Pokémon and her main battler. Garchomp is well trained enough to even battle without her Trainer giving commands. She battled Cyrus and his Pokémon in the Celestic Ruins but he managed to outsmart her and use her moves against her for his own gain. She was later used against him in the Galactic HQ holding a grudge from their last battle, despite using her strongest moves including the powerful Draco Meteor, her rage caused her moves to become weaker and Cyrus escaped, with neither her nor Cynthia strong enough to follow him.
Spiritomb was the second Pokémon seen in Cynthia's possession. With her powerful Psychic techniques she can lift objects with ease and played an important role in rescuing Rad Rickshaw from the clutches of Team Galactic. She was later used against Cyrus in the Galactic HQ and defeated his Honchkrow but was frozen by his Weavile and rendered unable to fight.
Spiritomb's known moves are Psychic and Shock Wave, and her Ability is Pressure.

Milotic was the third Pokémon seen in Cynthia's possession. Milotic was first used against the Galactic Boss Cyrus in the Team Galactic HQ, it defeated his Weavile after a tough battle but was knocked out by a Giga Impact from his Gyarados.
Milotic's known moves are Iron Tail, Brine, Twister, and Tackle.

Trivia
- After the player heads into the Distortion World in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.
- In the Sinnoh-based games, Milotic is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that generation.
- In Generation IV, it is also the only Pokémon used by her that is not a dual type.
- In Platinum, Cynthia's Togekiss has the Hustle Ability, despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.
- Cynthia shares many similarities with Volo:
- Mission 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.
- In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, Cogita's dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.
- In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's Pokémon Platinum team: Spiritomb, Garchomp, Togekiss, Roserade, and Lucario. The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is Milotic, as it is not present in Pokémon Legends: Arceus; he instead uses Hisuian Arcanine. Like Cynthia, Volo always begins the battle by sending out Spiritomb.
- The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter and battle themes.
- After his final battle, Volo vows to meet Arceus, and in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Cynthia meets Arceus during the Sinjoh Ruins event.
