Ursula (Japanese: ウララ Urara) is a rival of Dawn's who first appeared in Another One Gabites the Dust!. She is voiced by 川澄綾子 Ayako Kawasumi in Japanese and Melissa Schoenberg in English.
She is a Coordinator who entered the Chocovine Contest along with Dawn. Ursula first met Dawn outside the Chocovine Contest Hall after her female Gabite got into a confrontation with Pachirisu after Gabite stepped on Pachirisu's Poffin. Ursula offered the Pokémon one of her Poffins but Pachirisu refused it, making her feel a little insulted.
It was revealed that she had also entered the Wallace Cup but lost in the first round. She said that she had lost many times in the first round, and as such could improve herself to be a better Coordinator and also mentioned that she had won 3 ribbons. She believed Dawn's win in the tournament was a fluke and developed a rivalry with her.
Throughout the Contest, she remained cynical of Dawn's performance. She managed to make it to the finals, along with Dawn, defeating Jessie and Carnivine in the process. She ultimately lost to Dawn, but she thought it was only the time limit that saved her.
She reappeared in DP161 and DP162 for the Contest in Asatsuki Town, where it was shown that she had obtained several new Pokémon.
Pokémon
This listing is of Ursula's known Pokémon:
Ursula's main Pokémon is a female Gabite which appears to share her bad attitude, happily stepping on Pachirisu's Poffin and then developing a rivalry with it similar to the one between Dawn and Ursula. Gabite was present when Ursula was knocked out of the Wallace Cup.
During the Chocovine Contest, Gabite knocked Jessie out of the Contest by defeating Carnivine and then faced Pachirisu in the final. Gabite completely dominated the first half of the battle, however Dawn was able to win by whittling down Gabite's points by having Pachirisu dodge Gabite's attacks. After losing, Gabite felt down but was comforted by her trainer.
It appeared again in DP161 as one of the Pokémon Ursula used for her appeal in the Asatsuki Town Contest.
Gabite's known moves are Dragon Claw, Aerial Ace, Stone Edge, Dragon Rage, Iron Tail and Sand Tomb.
Ursula used her Sandy Cloak Wormadam in the Appeal Round of the Chocovine Contest. Using its simple yet attractive moves, Wormadam easily ensured Ursula's progression to the second stage of the contest.
Wormadam's known moves are Confusion, Rock Blast, Sandstorm and Captivate.

Ursula plans to use Dawn's bad memories against her by using Plusle and Minun during the battle rounds of the contest.
