The Pokémon Center Ladies are a trio of non-player characters that appear in Pokémon Emerald. They are all located in the Lilycove City Pokémon Center, but only one will ever appear in a player's game. The lady that appears is determined by the ID number of the game.

Each lady will ask for something of the player. Once this is accomplished, she may give a reward.

Determination

The Lady who initially appears is determined by the player's Trainer ID number modulo 6.

  • If the Trainer ID mod 6 is 0 or 1, the Quiz Lady will appear.
  • If the Trainer ID mod 6 is 2 or 3, the Favor Lady will appear.
  • If the Trainer ID mod 6 is 4 or 5, the Contest Lady will appear.

If two or more players of Pokémon Emerald mix records with each other, the ladies that were in those players' games will be transferred.

Contest Lady

The Contest Lady will ask for a Pokéblock to give to her Pokémon. The flavor of the Pokéblock needs to fit her Pokémon's preference. After being gifted five Pokéblocks of the desired flavor, or five Pokéblocks that don't match the desired flavor, she will say that she and her Pokémon are ready to enter some contests. After this, a TV show will air detailing her contest results based on the number of correct Pokéblocks given to her by the players whose games she appeared in. If she wins her contest, she will thank the player who gave her the Pokéblock with the most points in her desired flavor by name.

Favor Lady

The Favor Lady will ask for an item. However, she is cryptic and will only hint at the kind of item she wants using a description of what it looks like. The player will ordinarily need to give her an item in the specified category for five days to receive a vitamin as a prize. However, every time records are mixed, one item in the specified category will be randomly assigned as the "best" item, and giving the Favor Lady this item will instantly result in her awarding the player the prize.

Although there are many other items that also fit the descriptions the Favor Lady asks for, she will only accept those listed below. If a wrong item is given to her, she will not accept another until the next day.

Quiz Lady

The Quiz Lady only appears after mixing records with a friend. She will ask the player a question; if it is answered correctly, they will receive an item.

The Quiz Lady will also offer the player the chance to create their own quiz using nine words or phrases. In this event, the player must also select an item from their Bag as the prize for those who answer the quiz correctly.
