In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Caitlin appears as a member of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Unova]]; she traveled to the [[region]] alone in order to develop her skills further. It is revealed that she possesses some sort of psychic powers, and that in the past, she had an explosive temper that would erupt if she lost a battle causing her psychic powers to cause a lot of damage. This is the reason why [[Darach]] fought in her place in [[Generation IV]].<ref>Caitlin: "''In the past, when I battled, the force of my emotions shook me greatly. When my power awoke, I came close to destroying everything around me. That weak person no longer exists...

Caitlin first appeared alongside her valet [[Darach]] when she misheard {{adv|Looker}} referring to {{adv|Platinum}} as "Lady" as talking to her. When Looker tried to tell her about the mistake, Darach's Gallade immediately attacked him, stripping him down to his underwear. She later watched Platinum and Darach battle at the Battle Castle and scolded Darach when he was defeated. It is later revealed that Caitlin has gained a desire to battle after watching Platinum's battle against Darach. This desire to fight causes her latent psychic powers to awaken and go out of control while Caitlin crazily mutters the word "fight" over and over. She is calmed down by Darach when he offers her some tea.

It is revealed that she has become a member of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. She reappears in the {{un|Pokémon League}}, when the Elite Four assemble before the tournament started. As they discuss [[Alder]]'s recent defeat by the hands of {{adv|N}}, the Elite Four inquire what to do about [[Team Plasma]]. Caitlin chooses to let Team Plasma continue their speeches, as they're technically not doing anything wrong. Despite defending Team Plasma's freedom of speech, Caitlin feels that their kidnapping of the Gym Leaders is too much and needs to be stopped. By using the ability of her Gothitelle and her own psychic powers, Caitlin begins to communicate with the Gym Leaders to try and find their current location. She is unable to determine the Gym Leader's location, but Caitlin is able to find out that they are alright. She travels to the location of {{adv|Black}}'s Gym battle against [[Drayden]] to relay a message to Black from the Gym Leaders.

The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by Black, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's {{p|Golurk}} to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by [[Colress|Hood Man]], who uses {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}, {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}}, and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}} against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. During the commotion, Black accidentally crashes onto Golurk and lands on the Elite Four. Caitlin reveals to Black that she had encountered his {{p|Munna}}, [[Musha]], right before they went to prepare for the Elite Four battles. Black was told by N that Musha had left because he no longer liked the taste of Black's dreams, but Caitlin reveals that Musha had really left to find some way to evolve and get stronger. With the Moon Stone received from Caitlin, Musha evolved into its final form, {{p|Musharna}} right before it returned to Black.

Caitlin (Japanese: カトレア Cattleya) is a Psychic-type Trainer and member of the Unova Elite Four. She is also the head of the Battle Castle in the Battle Frontier that appeared in Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the core series games

Generation IV

In HeartGold, SoulSilver, and Platinum, Caitlin is the employer of Darach and oversees his Battle Castle battles. She is responsible for determining how many CP the player should receive depending on the outcome of the battle. She is said to be the most important person in the Battle Castle and acts like its princess.

Generation V

In Pokémon Black and White, Caitlin appears as a member of the Elite Four of Unova; she traveled to the region alone in order to develop her skills further. It is revealed that she possesses some sort of psychic powers, and that in the past, she had an explosive temper that would erupt if she lost a battle causing her psychic powers to cause a lot of damage. This is the reason why Darach fought in her place in Generation IV.[4] It may also explain why she was quite impatient, as she demanded that Darach give the player Castle Points "at once!" after each victory in the Battle Castle.

She later appears in a villa that she is lending to Cynthia, as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members. She also mentions her time at the Battle Castle while in the villa.

In Pokémon Masters EX, in which she uses her Generation V design, she is stated to be an adult.

History

Platinum arc

Caitlin first appeared alongside her valet Darach when she misheard Looker referring to Platinum as "Lady" as talking to her. When Looker tried to tell her about the mistake, Darach's Gallade immediately attacked him, stripping him down to his underwear. She later watched Platinum and Darach battle at the Battle Castle and scolded Darach when he was defeated. It is later revealed that Caitlin has gained a desire to battle after watching Platinum's battle against Darach. This desire to fight causes her latent psychic powers to awaken and go out of control while Caitlin crazily mutters the word "fight" over and over. She is calmed down by Darach when he offers her some tea.

Black & White arc
Caitlin in the Black & White arc

It is revealed that she has become a member of the Unova Elite Four. She reappears in the Pokémon League, when the Elite Four assemble before the tournament started. As they discuss Alder's recent defeat by the hands of N, the Elite Four inquire what to do about Team Plasma. Caitlin chooses to let Team Plasma continue their speeches, as they're technically not doing anything wrong. Despite defending Team Plasma's freedom of speech, Caitlin feels that their kidnapping of the Gym Leaders is too much and needs to be stopped. By using the ability of her Gothitelle and her own psychic powers, Caitlin begins to communicate with the Gym Leaders to try and find their current location. She is unable to determine the Gym Leader's location, but Caitlin is able to find out that they are alright. She travels to the location of Black's Gym battle against Drayden to relay a message to Black from the Gym Leaders.

The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by Black, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with N's Castle. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's Golurk to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by Hood Man, who uses Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. During the commotion, Black accidentally crashes onto Golurk and lands on the Elite Four. Caitlin reveals to Black that she had encountered his Munna, Musha, right before they went to prepare for the Elite Four battles. Black was told by N that Musha had left because he no longer liked the taste of Black's dreams, but Caitlin reveals that Musha had really left to find some way to evolve and get stronger. With the Moon Stone received from Caitlin, Musha evolved into its final form, Musharna right before it returned to Black.

Pokémon

Gothitelle
Caitlin's Gothitelle

Gothitelle's known moves are Telekinesis and Psyshock, and its Ability is Frisk.
