Young Johanna along with her Glameow

Johanna made her debut appearance in the anime in Following A Maiden's Voyage!.

She used to be a great Pokémon Coordinator, having won a Ribbon Cup from the Grand Festival and earning the title of Top Coordinator. Dawn wanted to follow in her footsteps and become a great coordinator as well. When Dawn left on her journey, Johanna gave her the ribbon she first received, which both of them carried for good luck.

In The Bells are Singing!, it was revealed that she sewed Buneary's vest. As a young girl, she was shown participating in a Contest in a flashback in Battling the Generation Gap! against her childhood rival, Lila.

In Battling a Cute Drama! Ash, Brock, and Dawn received their new outfits from her.

Johanna appeared in Strategy Begins at Home! and met Ash and Brock in person for the first time. She used Glameow and an Umbreon in a double battle with her daughter, which she quickly won. While one might think that her skills might have gotten rusty since she became a mom, it turns out that she teaches a Coordinator class out of her home, and even has a battlefield behind her house for instructing her students. As a result, her skills are still as sharp as ever.

In Challenging a Towering Figure!, Johanna was the hostess for the tournament which was a part of the Twinleaf Festival. She wore a gown during the occasion.

In Teaching the Student Teacher!, Johanna was suppose to teach several children, but she had to fill in for a Nurse Joy who was taking care of too many Pokémon as a judge in the Neighborly Town Contest. Dawn volunteered to teach in her place. At the end of the episode, Johanna gave Dawn a new outfit to wear at the Grand Festival.

She appeared in a brief cameo in Last Call, First Round!, Opposites Interact! and Coming Full Festival Circle! watching Dawn compete in the Sinnoh Grand Festival, then again in person in A Grand Fight for Winning! in the audience. She also made a cameo appearance in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Her latest appearance was in SS024 when Dawn returned home, she decided to have a battle her Piplup and Cyndaquil. But after Piplup and Cyndaquil started squabbling, the battle was stopped. She is lastly seen saying her farewells to Dawn on her journey to Hoenn.

In the manga

Diamond and Johanna

Johanna first makes an appearance as a figment of Diamond's thought after the boy reminisced about the bonds that families share in VS. Vespiquen & Mothim II. She made her first official debut in VS. Sableye when Diamond realizes that she'd gone to gather some berries near Lake Verity, but instead she finds herself held hostage by Mars' Zubat and barely escapes with the boy's help. After returning home alongside Sebastian (Platinum's butler) and Roseanne, she realizes that the jacket and shoes that she ordered for Diamond were gone, and conjures the idea to call him on the phone she left in a pocket. Soon, though, after he receives her call, she hears from him that he's infiltrated their flying shuttle and will be having a final showdown with Team Galactic, much to her shock.
