Tulip (Japanese: リップ Lip) is the Gym Leader of Alfornada's Gym, known officially as the Alfornada Gym. She specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon.
In the core series games
Besides being a Gym Leader, Tulip works as a model and a makeup artist. As such, she focuses on beauty and appearance a lot. Her Pokémon help her out in applying makeup which seems magical. She has a very busy schedule due to working on several businesses.[1]
Tulip is childhood friends with Dendra and has done a collaboration with fellow Gym Leader Iono. She doesn't like her boss, Geeta, very much, due to the latter's "bewitching aura" overlapping with the former's style.
Tulip enlists Dendra to help her with her Gym test of ESP exercise by defeating her in a Pokémon battle, in which the stakes were that the loser would do whatever the winner wanted. The Gym test requires the player to express different emotions as Dendra and a Medicham demonstrate them. Dendra also says that Tulip has always been an overachiever.
In addition to the Gym Badge, Tulip gives out TM120 (Psychic) after defeating her.

Quotes
- Before battle
- "I suppose you’re right. OK, I’ll get things moving here on my end."
- "Let’s keep the tag line simple— “Naturally Beautiful.”"
- "And order the new eye-shadow color too, would you?"
- "Thanks, you’re a doll. Gotta run now. Chat with you later."
- "Hello there."
- "I’m Tulip, the Gym Leader here. Though I must tell you that being a makeup artist is my main line of work."
- "Dendra had nothing but praise for you. She said you totally slayed out there."
- "Hehe. I must say, you are a cute challenger, ."
- "I’m sure my ESP exercise made you all the more beautiful. Doesn’t that make you happy?"
- "You keep your Pokémon beautiful and clean as well. I see you have quite the aesthetic sense."
- "Appearance is equally important for both people and Pokémon."
- "Makeup is like magic. Anyone can use it to change their appearance."
- "Allow me to put my skills to use to make your cute little Pokémon even more beautiful!"
- In battle
- "You’re quite a good base to test my makeup magic on. What shall I use on you?"
- Before sending out final Pokémon
- "You’re just as hard to get rid of as caked-on mascara, I see. I need a good makeup remover!"
- Upon Terastallizing her Florges
- "Come here, my little Florges! It’s time for a makeover. You’ll become a new you!"
- Upon using Florges' Psychic
- "My bewitching beauty methods will cleanse you right down to the depths of your pores!"
- Upon being defeated
- "Your strength has a magic to it that cannot be washed away."
- After being defeated
- "I lost the battle? And your beauty rivals even my own? I can’t believe it."
- "You are quite splendid. Yes, truly amazing!"
- "Perhaps I should take you under my wing before you make your big break elsewhere..."
- "But I suppose I need to work on myself a little more first before I run off and do such a thing."
- "You have earned my Gym Badge. Allow me to strike one of my best poses to give it to you. Congratulations, <player>."
- "With <number of Badges> Gym Badge/Badges, Pokémon of up to Lv. <level> will be easier to catch and will listen to the commands you give them." (If the player has less than eight Badges)
- "With all 8 Gym Badges, you’ll be able to catch Pokémon of any level. They’ll be good Pokémon and listen to your commands, too." (If the player has eight Badges)
- "If you train hard, you’ll be able to use this move in a totally perfect way."
- "Don’t go uploading that selfie we just took to social media, OK?"
- "I think my makeup has run a little with all the moving and sweating I did during our battle."
- "I need to fix it fast before my next appointment. My schedule is absolutely packed, you know. Farewell, then. You did splendidly today."
- Alfornada
- "Oh? If it isn't <player>. It's been so long."
- "Your beauty has become even more refined since the last time we met."
- You're too kind: "Oh! Accepting compliments with grace, I see. How wonderful. I hope you remain that way."
- Yours as well, Tulip: "Who taught you the art of flattery? Is my young friend all grown up now?"
- "So you're here in place of Geeta, are you?"
- "Just between you and me, I'm not exactly her biggest fan. That bewitching aura of hers overlaps too much with my own style."
- "So it may be for the best that she sent someone else for the job."
- "With you, I feel like I can really give this battle all I've got."
- "Without further ado, are you ready to pursue quintessential beauty together?"
- Yes: "Oh, wonderful. Let's head to the battle court."

- "A diamond in the rough that I helped to polish is now sparkling as bright as the finest of gems."
- "Seeing others working so hard allows me to work hard myself and never shed a tear."
- ""Sadness" is not in my vocabulary, after all. The closest emotion I allow is the beauty of surprise."
- "Allow me to teach you how to do true Emotional Spectrum Practice!"
- In battle
- "You want to know the secret to my beauty? I'll enroll you in my most difficult hands-on course."
- Before sending out final Pokémon

- "Don't fade away, <player>. I want to see just how far your talent can go."
