Misty (anime) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

August 2024 · 25 minute read

Misty (Japanese: カスミ Kasumi) is an aspiring Water Pokémon Master and a former traveling partner of Ash. She is also the Gym Leader of the Cerulean Gym, handing out the Cascade Badge to Trainers who defeat her. She specializes in Water-type Pokémon.

Misty journeyed with Ash through Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the Masters Eight Tournament, she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master until she decided to return home.

History

Pre-series

Baby Misty

Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up in Cerulean City in the Kanto region with her three sisters. When she was very young, an encounter with a Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym led to her being frightened of them. In No Big Woop!, it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in Princess vs. Princess. Eventually, Misty became one of the Gym Leaders of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders before Pokémon, I Choose You!, choosing to prove herself as a Water-type Pokémon Master.

Original series

Misty carrying her burnt bike

Misty debuted in Pokémon, I Choose You!, fishing in a nearby river on Route 1. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a Water-type Pokémon, but Ash and his injured Pikachu, who were being chased by a flock of Spearow. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest Pokémon Center, the one in Viridian City, he borrowed her bicycle, saying that he would return it someday.

In Pokémon Emergency!, Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for Pewter City, telling him in Showdown in Pewter City that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the Kanto region, the Orange Archipelago, and the Johto region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the Indigo League, however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in Pokémon battles.

Ash and Misty were later joined by Brock, from Showdown in Pewter City to Poké Ball Peril and again from the end of The Rivalry Revival to the end of the original series, and Tracey from The Lost Lapras to The Rivalry Revival. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in The Bridge Bike Gang and Lights, Camera, Quack-tion, and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.

Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily

In The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, Misty challenged Ash to a Gym battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a Cascade Badge without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but Team Rocket interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its Thunderbolt, over Misty's objections.

In Tentacool & Tentacruel, while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of Tentacool and a giant Tentacruel attacking Porta Vista after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught a Horsea as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a baby Pokémon in Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, when the egg that Ash had found in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon hatches into a Togepi. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In Misty Meets Her Match, Misty was given a chance to stay in the Orange Islands when Rudy, the Gym Leader on Trovita Island, offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

In Hook, Line, and Stinker, Misty competed in the annual Seaking Catching Competition. After Misty and Andreas both caught Seaking that weighed 55 kg., Misty and Andreas battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her Poliwhirl defeated Andreas' Poliwrath.

Misty and Trinity

Misty participated in the Whirl Cup alongside Ash from Octillery the Outcast to The Perfect Match!. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she narrowly lost to Trinity.

In Just Add Water, Misty met a Water-type Trainer named Dorian, after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In Gotta Catch Ya Later!, Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's Nurse Joy. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters Daisy, Lily, and Violet, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of Pokémon gangsters. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean Gym Leader. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for Professor Oak.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Misty was first mentioned by Ash in Tree's a Crowd.

She reappeared from The Princess and the Togepi to A Togepi Mirage!, where she met up with Ash and Brock again in Hoenn, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. In A Togepi Mirage, her Togepi evolved into a Togetic and helped defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the Ever Grande Conference in Saved by the Beldum and Shocks and Bonds. She traveled with Ash from The Scheme Team to A Real Cleffa-Hanger, and was later invited to the Mirage Mansion by Dr. Yung in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon. She later appeared in flashbacks in Gathering the Gang of Four.

It was revealed in Cerulean Blues that Misty feared Gyarados, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her Gyarados from a Poison Sting assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Misty never physically appeared in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, but she was referenced a couple of times. Her special lure appeared in Buizel Your Way out of This!, and she appeared in a picture on Brock's memory wall in the special episode DPS02.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Misty appeared in a flashback in The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion! as Ash recalled the important moments of his and Charizard's friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in The Dream Continues!.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Misty and her Key Stone

Misty made recurring appearances during Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, starting with Alola, Kanto!. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and his classmates arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and Alolan Pokémon with the class at Professor Oak's lab. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat Team Rocket, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned from Professor Kukui that the class had plans to head to Cerulean City for a Gym battle.

In When Regions Collide!, the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the Pokémon League. Misty defeated Lana and Mallow in a Multi Battle, but she and her Mega Gyarados lost against Ash and his Pikachu. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.

Misty and Lana

During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In Alola, Alola!, Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in Alola after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that the Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to Treasure Island, where they enjoyed Mantine Surfing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the Mantine. However, with the help of Gyarados and several Z-Moves, she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to Akala Island where they visited Paniola Ranch and later met island kahuna Olivia. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In Destination: Coronation!, Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the Pokémon world.

Misty meeting Goh and his Inteleon

In Partners in Time!, Misty appeared watching Ash's Masters Eight Tournament match against Leon alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In This Could be the Start of Something Big!, Misty is seen meeting Goh and interacting with his Inteleon at the Cerulean Gym.

In A Fated Face-Off!, Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a Clauncher that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against Corphish and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.

Misty after catching a Pokémon

In Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!, Misty and Ash traveled to Galar. After reuniting with Brock, they were helped by Cilan to save Brock from the mind control of a wild Hatterene. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In Ride, Lapras, Ride!, Misty joined Ash to rescue a Wailmer that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a Wailord, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In Getting to the Heart of it All!, Misty joined Ash to give Banette a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to Banette. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In Rocket Revengers!, Misty attempted to aid James's Mime Jr., who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locating Officer Jenny to refer their latest plot. She held off James's Yamask and Jessie's Frillish with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed Latias' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend Latios escaping confinement.

In The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

Other appearances

Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of I Choose You!.

Misty reappeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, where she had largely the same role as in Mewtwo Strikes Back.

Character

Misty and her friends

Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever Ash got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the original series. In the Japanese version, she uses the pronoun Atashi in reference to herself.

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely Mikey, Sakura, and Max. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" (世界の美少女 the world's most beautiful girl) in introductions to others. It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the dub until Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.

Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest is training Water-type Pokémon with the dream of becoming a Water Pokémon Master. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in The School of Hard Knocks and when she first met Fire enthusiast Macy. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on Tentacool in Tentacool and Tentacruel divided Ash and Brock. Fishing is one of her hobbies, and she even has a special lure, which she designed to look like herself. In The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.

Misty holding a Cascade Badge

Misty's battle style was first showcased in The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, where she challenged Ash. She had her Staryu dive into the water to wash off Butterfree's status-inducing moves. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean Gym Leader. Cerulean Blues saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging Gyarados which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in The Blue Badge of Courage. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with Psyduck's mastery of Water Gun and her Corsola's strong defenses make for a tireless battle.

Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon

The one Pokémon type that Misty cannot stand are Bug-types, as shown in Ash Catches a Pokémon! and more recently in Alola, Alola!. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like Ledyba and Butterfree, some belonging to her friends, like Tracey's Venonat, or ones that don't look like bugs, such as Pineco. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being carrots and peppers. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as Dewpider, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is (いくわよ!マーイステディ! Go! My Steady!). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until Sun & Moon.

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch.

Pokémon

Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train Water-type Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in Some Like It Hot. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of Gyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the Cerulean Gym.

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as Mega Evolution. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like Dorian, Trinity, or Ash in equal conditions.

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon that are listed as "in rotation" in the anime.

In rotation

At Cerulean Gym

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the Gym, such as Dewgong, Luverin, Seaking, Goldeen, Shellder, and Seel, due to being the Gym Leader.
