Zoey (Japanese: ノゾミ Nozomi) is a Pokémon Coordinator and Dawn's rival. She first appeared in Mounting a Coordinator Assault.
History
Template:Spoiler Zoey first debuted in Mounting a Coordinator Assault! where she made fast friends with Dawn. In the next episode she would go on to defeat Dawn in the semifinals of the Jubilife City Contest before battling Jessie in the final round. Furthermore, it was revealed in Getting the Pre-Contest Titters that the first ribbon she won was in a battle with Kenny's Prinplup. She has a Contest Pass for the Sinnoh region.
Zoey is largely responsible for the trade of Ash's Aipom and Dawn's Buizel. In Arrival of a Rival, she first suggested that Ash should give Aipom to Dawn. In Throwing the Track Switch she brought it up again, but this time she suggested a trade after she saw how Buizel had more of a love for battling rather than contests. Ash and Dawn eventually agreed to it and traded their Pokémon.
In Strategy with a Smile! she lost the battle against May in the semi-finals of the Wallace Cup.
Zoey appeared again in Playing The Leveling Field! where she was shown battling Fantina. Zoey battled Fantina's Mismagius with her Glameow but lost. It was also revealed that Shellos helped her earn her third ribbon.
Zoey appeared in Classroom Training! where Ash and his friends learn about her childhood. It was revealed she had been childhood friends with Candice and also frequently calls her "Ms. Senior". She also appeared in Sliding Into Seventh! watching Ash's Gym battle with Candice, and again in A Pyramiding Rage! where she watched Paul's battle against Brandon. She left at the end of the episode with Candice. Zoey's next appeared in Double-Time Battle Training! where she was shown winning her fifth and final ribbon required for the Grand Festival. She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the Daybreak Contest and the two had a double battle with Zoey winning.
Zoey entered the Sinnoh Grand Festival and worked her way through the appeals and battles, eventually making it all the way to the final where she found herself up against Dawn once again. The two had a hard-fought battle, with Zoey's Glameow and Gallade against Dawn's Piplup and Togekiss. It was clear the battle could go either way, and eventually the time ran out and Zoey won by a few points. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the Ribbon Cup as well as the title of Top Coordinator. After the competition, she plans to go back to Snowpoint City to visit Candice.
Zoey made a cameo appearance in Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Character
Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it. However if one of her friends is being mistreated, she wastes no time sticking up for them. Such examples include her sticking up for Dawn when she was being made fun of by "Jessilina" in A Stand-Up Sit-Down!. Despite having an sprained ankle, she still battled in Dawn's defense. She also defended Ash after she felt Paul was being rude to him.
She initially had harsh opinions of people who competed in both contests and Gym battles, saying they needed to make up their minds. This is seen in her reactions to Ash in Arrival of a Rival and Nando in Dawn's Early Night. For that she apologized to Ash for her behavior in Staging a Heroes Welcome! after realizing that it was good to learn from both types of trainers. It was revealed in Classroom Training! that the reason for this trait in her character was that while she wanted to be a Top Coordinator, Candice wanted to be a champion Trainer. They promised each other to follow their goals and as such Zoey looked down on people who did both since she thought they weren't taking them seriously.
Zoey's tough demeanor suggests that she is a tomboy. This is further seen in her short haircut and her choice in Contest outfits, which are stylized suits rather than dresses.
Pokémon
The following are Zoey's known Pokémon:

- Main article: Zoey's Glameow
Glameow is Zoey's main Pokémon. It was first seen in Mounting a Coordinator Assault when it approached Dawn with her missing choker around its tail. In the next episode it was used in the Jubilife Contest, and managed to take out Ash's Aipom, Dawn's Buneary, and Jessie's borrowed Carnivine, earning Zoey the Jubilife Ribbon.
Zoey used Glameow again in the Wallace Cup's semifinal round against May and her Beautifly. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition.
It helped Zoey get to the Semi-finals alongside Gastrodon and was a key Pokémon on Zoey's victory in the Sinnoh Grand Festival final against Dawn.

Mismagius made its debut in the start of the Jubilife Contest in Mounting a Coordinator Assault! as a Misdreavus. It made its appeal by coming out of its Poké Ball covered in a purple fog. It was silhouetted in the mist making only its shadow visible, thus making it look much more ominous and frightening.
Misdreavus was later seen in A Stand-Up Sit-Down! searching for someone to help Zoey alongside Glameow. It was also seen defeating a Mothim in the Wallace Cup in Pruning a Passel of Pals!.
In Coming Full Festival Circle!, it was revealed to have evolved into a Mismagius since the Wallace Cup. Zoey used it along with her Leafeon against Nando in the Semi-Finals of the Sinnoh Grand Festival where they helped Zoey advance to the final round.

Shellos then made its first appearance in A Stand-Up Sit-Down!. It was seen at the Hearthome Contest in Dawn's Early Night.
In Last Call, First Round!, it was revealed to have evolved into a Gastrodon, used by Zoey in the Appeals Round and later the first battle round of the Grand Festival, where it easily helped her pass both stages.
Lumineon as a Finneon first appeared in Staging a Heroes' Welcome!. Zoey sent it out to perform in the appeal round of the Wallace Cup, and its performance was impressive enough to advance Zoey to the next round.

Although Leafeon was weakened by Kricketune's Bug Buzz it was eventually able to strike back thanks to an incredible Aerial Ace-Psywave combination move that allowed it to grow wings and hit back with Leaf Blade.
