Katy (Japanese: カエデ Kaede) is a Gym Leader of Cortondo's Gym, known officially as the Cortondo Gym. She specializes in Bug-type Pokémon. She hands out the Bug Badge to Trainers who defeat her.
In the core series games
Besides being a Gym Leader, Katy runs a bakery named Patisserie Soapberry. She believes that both sweets and Bug-type Pokémon have great power despite their small sizes.[1] She was trained in the art of baking under the wing of Kofu.
Because her Gym is so close to Mesagoza, where many Trainers begin their Pokémon journey, Geeta urges Katy to keep her battle style light and easy despite her wanting to go more all out, as evident by her Gym having the lowest-leveled Pokémon in the Paldea League. After her post-game rematch with the player, she has a moment of reflection and decides to step up the difficulty of her Gym to fit her style more.
In addition to the Gym Badge, Katy gives out TM021 (Pounce) after defeating her.
In The Indigo Disk, Katy can be invited to act as a special coach at Blueberry Academy.

In the TCG
- Main article: Katy (Scarlet & Violet 177)
Katy was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Violet ex expansion and the English Scarlet & Violet expansion, with artwork by Akira Komayama. An ultra rare version of the card with artwork by the same illustrator was also included in these sets. It lets players shuffle their hand into their deck, and draw eight cards. This ends the player's turn.
Trivia
- Katy's Japanese Gym Leader title is お菓子の虫.
- The logo on Katy's apron is notably different in her concept art compared to her final design. An apron with the unused logo is shown prominently in the announcement trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.[2]
- Katy is the only Paldea Gym Leader whose Terastallized Pokémon changes between her initial Gym battle and her rematch battle (due to her Teddiursa having evolved into Ursaring).
- The fact that Katy's Terastallized Pokémon is Teddiursa (and later Ursaring) may allude to common depictions of bears enjoying honey. It may also be a pun on the bugbear, a mythical creature.
- She is also the only NPC Trainer to use a Terastallized Pokémon that is unevolved in her final team, as Ursaring is unable to evolve into Ursaluna in Scarlet and Violet.
