Candice is the seventh gym leader of the Sinnoh region who appears in Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions. She specializes in Ice-Type Pokémon.

Background

The gym leader of Snowpoint Gym, Candice was known for her studious nature. She believed that focus was the key to everything from Pokémon to fashion to romance, and that her mastery of focus was what made her tough. In Platinum, Maylene is shown to admire Candice for her studiousness and travels to Snowpoint to challenge Candice at her request, as Candice wanted to study Fighting-type Pokémon.

In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, she is challenged and defeated by Lucas/Dawn. She developed a respect for the player trainer for their victory, saying that their focus and will bowled her over completely. Candice rewarded the trainer with the Icicle Badge and TM72: Avalanche. Afterwards she would muse acting more cool and distant like other Ice-type trainers, but believed herself incapable of that because of her spirit burning hot and bright. Candice would later appear after Lucas/Dawn defeated the Elite Four to grant them permission to enter the Snowpoint Temple at Cynthia's request. In Platinum, she would also occasionally appear at the Battleground, whereshe could be challenged to a rematch.
