Ryme (Japanese: ライム Lime) is a Gym Leader of Montenevera's Gym, known officially as the Montenevera Gym. She specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon.

In the core series games

Ryme is the younger sister of Tyme, the math instructor of Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V, who was previously the Montenevera Gym Leader. Ryme is also a renowned hip-hop artist who often partakes in rap battles. She puts great emotions and passions into both her rapping and her Pokémon battles. She has been a legendary rapper for four decades. As a teen, she wrote a song to express her grief over the death of her Puppy Pokémon. Her singing revived it as a ghost Pokémon. She is still said to "bring the dead to their feet" as the "MC of RIP" thanks to the themes of death in her rap music. It is for these reasons that she decided to become a Ghost-type Pokémon Trainer.

In addition to her Gym Badge, Ryme gives out TM114 (Shadow Ball) after defeating her.

In The Indigo Disk, Ryme can be invited to Blueberry Academy as a special coach.

Pokémon

Ryme is always faced in a Double Battle. She will Terastallize her Toxtricity at the first opportunity.

Gym battle

Certain actions during the Gym battle will cause the spectators to cheer for either Trainer. This causes the Pokémon from the supported side to receive stat boosts in one or more of their stats.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Ryme in Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Ryme first appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders of Paldea in HZ046 during Clavell's explanation of how Terastal Training works.

Ryme appeared in HZ052, where she was wandering around the woods looking for an Annihilape when she was led up to Roy by the sound of his singing. Both Trainers expressed their common interest in singing, and Ryme even rapped to encourage Roy's Wattrel to overcome its fears and insecurities to move forward. She also displayed an interest in Roy's Fuecoco before leaving with her Houndstone.

In HZ061, Ryme was in charge of Roy's second Terastal Training test. After having a short rap battle against Roy, she was impressed by his rapping skills and both went on to start their battle. Ryme was impressed that Roy's Wattrel had evolved, but still easily defeated Kilowattrel with her Houndstone. After Fuecoco defeated Houndstone, Ryme sent out Toxtricity. Using it, she was able to easily defeat Roy's Terastallized Fuecoco. After the battle, Ryme explained to Roy that he and his Pokémon were clearly not in sync and he had only Terastallized out of desperation, and on that basis, she judged that he had failed the test.

In HZ062, Ryme was having another concert at night, when Roy challenged her to a rematch. Ryme agreed upon seeing that something had improved about him and Fuecoco, so she offered him an exceptional second chance in a one-on-one match, Roy's Fuecoco versus her Toxtricity. In the rematch, Roy and his partner's newfound passion for singing and battle tactics were enough for Ryme to Terastallize Toxtricity. Fuecoco Terastalized as well and managed to defeat Toxtricity afterwards, winning Roy the rematch and passing his test. Ryme noted how whether Fuecoco will reach his full potential is dependent on Roy.

Pokémon

Houndstone

Debut	HZ052
Voice actors
Japanese	Kenta Miyake

Houndstone is Ryme's first known Pokémon. It happily greeted Roy upon meeting him and later joined Ryme's rap number. In HZ061, it was used as Ryme's first Pokemon against Roy in his Terastal Training test, where it defeated Roy's Kilowattrel before losing to Fuecoco.

Houndstone's known moves are Phantom Force, Crunch, and Scary Face.

Toxtricity

Debut	HZ061
Voice actors
Japanese	Taku Yashiro

Low Key Form Toxtricity is Ryme's second known Pokémon. It was used against Roy's Fuecoco during his Terastal Training test, where it defeated Fuecoco easily, despite the latter Terastalizing.

In HZ062, Toxtricity was used against Fuecoco in a one-on-one rematch. This time, Fuecoco was able to deal significant damage to it thanks to his newfound singing and battle tactics, forcing Toxtricity to Terastallize. Fuecoco Terastalized soon after and managed to defeat Toxtricity, winning Roy the rematch and passing his test.

Toxtricity's known moves are Overdrive, Boomburst, Hex, and Venoshock, and its Ability is Punk Rock.

Songs

Ultra rare print of Ryme

Main article: Ryme (Obsidian Flames 194)

Ryme was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame expansion and the English Obsidian Flames expansion, with artwork by nagimiso. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows players to draw 3 cards, and then switch out their opponent's Active Pokémon to the Bench (the new Active Pokémon is chosen by the opponent).

Trivia

• Ryme's Japanese Gym Leader title is ソウルフルビート.
• Befitting her status as a Ghost-type specialist, Ryme's front-falling dreadlocks resemble a skeleton's arm and her central back one ends in a shape resembling a simplified representation of a pelvis.
• Ryme's ace and Terastallized Pokémon being Toxtricity alludes to their shared trait of music.
