Blanche (Japanese: ブランシェ Blanche) is the leader of Team Mystic (Japanese: チームミスティック Team Mystic) in Pokémon GO. Team Mystic is researching Pokémon Evolution and is represented by Articuno. Team Mystic Trainers believe that by staying calm and analyzing every situation, they can't lose.

Blanche is one of Professor Willow's assistants, along with Spark and Candela. Highly analytical, Blanche often losing track of time when doing research. Blanche tends to get embarrassed when proven wrong and does not take jokes well.[1][2]

On November 7, 2019[3], Blanche sent the following message to Team GO Rocket Leader Cliff:

"Your impression of me is out of date, Cliff. I don’t need to think hard to know that your attempts to take over will fail. I suggest you rethink before you choose to approach me."'
