Plumeria (Japanese: プルメリ Plumeri) is an Admin of Team Skull. She is considered the "big sister" of the team, due to how she runs operations strictly but also cares for her underlings. She specializes in Poison-type Pokémon.

In the games

Plumeria appears in Pokémon Sun and Moon as the Admin of Team Skull. She first appears at the Akala Outskirts, angered by the player having defeated multiple Team Skull Grunts. Her next appearance is in front of the Aether House on Route 15. While the player is taking down Team Skull at Po Town, Plumeria returns to the Aether House, taking Lillie and Nebby to Aether Paradise. She makes her final main game appearance at the Ancient Poni Path, asking the player to bring Guzma back from Ultra Space and also giving them a Poisonium Z.

She is one of the possible Trainers who will challenge the player in a Title Defense battle post-game, having been convinced to do so by Nanu and Molayne.

Quotes

Pokémon Sun and Moon

Akala Outskirts
"So, you're the one Gladion was talking about? ...Hmph. You don't look like anything special to me. I'm Plumeria. I help keep Team Skull together. I'm like a big sister to all there numskulls. You have realized what idiots all there guys are, right? But don't you think some dummies are cute in their dumbness? You know what I mean, right? You picking on my cute, dumb brothers and sisters is really annoying me!"
  • Being defeated
"Phooey."
  • After being defeated
"Hmmph! You're pretty strong. I'll give you that. But mess with anyone in Team Skull again, and I'll show you how serious I can get."
Aether House (flashback)
"Not gonna disappear this time, huh? Seems like maybe the tall tales we heard about you were wrong."
"It's fine. There's nothing more for us to take from you. Which reminds me... Maybe we're not the only ones around here who could be called Pokémon thieves. Is that what you are, huh? A thief?"
Ancient Poni Path
"That's enough. No one wants to see a sore loser."
"Hmmph. You, girlie... Lillie, right? You really ready to do this finally? To be honest, I've treated you really badly. Even if I was just doing the work the president told me to do, I shouldn't have done all that. Even if I apologize now, I know it's probably too late for you to forgive me, though. See, Guzma... he really likes the president. She's the only adult who ever seemed to see how strong he was."
"You know... deep down, you're kind of like the president. You've gone in a different direction, but I can tell you have the same strength in your convictions. Bring Guzma back, if you can. I know you've got no reason to help... but no one can make up for what they've done if they're gone."
"And you, <player>. Looks like you were special after all. You didn't just stand up to Team Skull. You even took on the darkness inside Aether. Looks like you're the real deal. The realest Pokémon Trainer I've seen around. Take good care of our little princess here. This is my way of saying sorry, OK? Take it. It's Poisonium Z."
"Oh yeah... you got your first stone directly from Tapu Koko, didn't you, <player>? You'd better take care of it. That's one special Z-Ring you've got there. A Trainer is only a Trainer because of the Pokémon with them. If you ever forget that, you'll bring the wrath of the tapu down upon yourself. You should be fine, though."
"I'm out of here."
Pokémon League
First Title Defense challenge
  • Before battle
"Those old dudes Molayne and Nanu somehow talked me into doing this. I'm starting from scratch as a Pokémon Trainer and doing it right this time. I've got a Z-Ring and everything, so I might actually be able to live up to their expectations."
  • Upon being defeated
"Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"
  • After being defeated
"Even when I give it my all, I'm nothing compared to you! Maybe my Pokémon and I need to go through more together to deepen our friendship. I'm out of here, Champ."
Subsequent Title Defense challenge
  • Before battle
"My team and I are battling for all the Pokémon we took out on our way here!"
  • Upon being defeated
"Hunh! I can't even stand myself right now!"
  • After being defeated
"I failed again...like I always do. I promised myself I wouldn't! I told myself I would never fail again! It's all right to feel a little jealous, right? How else am I supposed to get stronger? My team and I really did take out so many Pokémon to make it here!"

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version

First adventure
  • Before battle
"I'm Plumeria-the Team Skull Admin. So you're Sun, huh? Hmmph. I guess you do look like a Trainer who can get things done."
"I got this! Settling the score for my cute little henchmen is part of my job!"
"If you're gonna give him advice, you better tell him how to deal with defeat! You really think you can take out my adorable Pokémon with your Z-Power?"
  • When defeated
"Hmmph! I guess I just have to hold that loss."
  • After being defeated
"What did you say your name was? Sun? You're quite the Trainer! You won't get off so easy next time, though! I hope you're looking forward to the next time we meet!"
