Daisy Oak (Japanese: オーキド・ナナミ Nanami Okido) is the older sister of Blue, and the granddaughter of Professor Oak. She is known as May (Japanese: サツキ Satsuki) in the The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga.

In the games

In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, as well as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Daisy gives the player a Town Map (despite her brother telling her not to) if he or she visits her after receiving a starter Pokémon. She gives free grooming to one of the player's Pokémon in the Generation II games once per day between 3 and 4 PM, and in FireRed and LeafGreen after the player defeats the Elite Four. One must walk two step cycles, or 512 total steps, before Daisy will offer to groom a Pokémon again.

Also in FireRed and LeafGreen, after receiving the National Dex, Daisy will tell a player how happy their Pokémon are. She's well-known for being adored by all kinds of Pokémon. It is said that when she's around, even the most ferocious Pokémon calm down. Daisy enjoys tea every day, and buys hers from the Celadon Department Store. She's also a champion Pokémon Coordinator, having won the Spring Pokémon Contest some years back.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, she gives the player Blue's number so they can call and arrange a rematch with him at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City. She will only share this once she has given seven massages and been shown one Pokémon with maxed friendship (7 grooms in the English versions of HGSS).

Also returning from previous generations, Daisy, still located in her home of Pallet Town, will groom one of the player's Pokémon for free once daily between 3:01 and 4:00 PM. As in Generation II, it will raise a Pokémon's friendship greatly, however, it will also raise the Pokémon's Beauty stat. This is not displayed anywhere in-game, and the Pokémon must be seen from the point of view of Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to notice. Despite this, Feebas whose Beauty is maxed out this way can evolve into Milotic.

As a reference to her enjoyment of tea in Generation III, a large mug of tea sits on her table. She will also mention that she "usually has tea about this time" if she is visited between 15:01 and 16:00 in Generation IV.

In the manga

In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

May Oak

Daisy does not appear to exist in the anime, but in The Electric Tale of Pikachu, which is based on the anime, she appears as May (Japanese: サツキ Satsuki). Ash has a very obvious and powerful crush on her, and trying to impress May is one of Ash's biggest motivations to do well and not give up on his Pokémon journey.

Ash and May seem to be friends or at least acquainted, as he speaks with her before he leaves Pallet Town and she gives him a Town Map before he leaves, much like Daisy gives one to Red/Leaf in the games. He also writes her a letter with details on his progress as a Pokémon Trainer in Play Misty For Me.

She is drawn with an oversized bust in the original Japanese version, though it is heavily toned down in the English translations.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Daisy works as Professor Oak's research assistant and is in charge of the Kanto laboratory whenever Professor Oak goes to Johto. She owns a Chansey that her grandfather gave her and a Clefairy she uses for Pokémon Contests. She was also a close friend of Magma Admin Courtney when she was a Coordinator. At the end of Gold Silver & Crystal, she is working as Bill's assistant, her position being taken over by Crystal. By the Platinum arc, Daisy has become a famous doctor in her own right.

Pokémon

Lucky-tchi ♀

Debut	Punching Poliwrath

Daisy was given a Chansey who was nicknamed Lucky-tchi (Japanese: ラキっち Lucky-tchi) from her grandfather.

Lucky-tchi's only known move is Softboiled.

Clefairy

Clefairy only appeared in a flashback while Daisy was participating in a Contest with Courtney before the latter became a member of Team Magma.

Pokémon Zensho

The Pokémon Zensho manga depicts the scenario where Daisy gives Satoshi a Town Map. Later on, in Lavender Town with Shigeru, Oak tells Satoshi and Shigeru the story on how she and her brother lost their parents in a car accident when they were young, resulting in him raising them since.
