'''Shauna''' is a Pokémon trainer who appeared as a supporting character in ''[[Pokémon  X and Y]]''. She acts as a friendly rival to [[Calem/Serena|the protagonist]].

=Background=

Shauna was a friendly and energetic young girl who was very outgoing and easily excitable. She could also be absentminded and tended to talk in singsong. Unlike other trainers, she did not seem to have a clear goal and simply liked to make good memories with her friends. At one point, she befriended [[Clemont]] and [[Bonnie]], with Clemont giving her an invention that could solve puzzles. During the events of ''X'' and ''Y'', she was one of the trainers chosen by [[Professor Sycamore]] to travel around [[Kalos]] for him. She was first seen at Vaniville Town, where she and Serena/Calem had gone to retrieve the last of the new trainers who were called for, Calem/Serena. They then met up with [[Tierno]] and [[Trevor]] at Aquacorde Town, where the three new trainers each received a [[Pokédex]] and a Starter Pokémon . Shauna chose last and picked the Pokémon  that had a type disadvantage against the one chosen by the player. She then challenged Calem/Serena to her first Pokémon  battle and lost.

At Route 2, Shauna had Serena/Calem show her how to catch Pokémon, which served as the game's tutorial for catching Pokémon . She then accompanied Calem/Serena in the Santalune Forest, where she offered to heal their Pokémon and made observations. The group then met up at Professor Sycamore's lab in Lumiose City, where the professor explained to them that he wanted them to become the best trainers that they could and to look into the secrets of Mega Evolution. After Calem/Serena defeated the professor in battle, he allowed the three new trainers to each pick another Pokémon, out of the starters from [[Kanto]]. She then explored the city and took a quick liking to making PR Videos. Afterwards, she met up with Calem/Serena at Shabboneau Castle to look into secrets of Mega Evolution. They ended up traveling to Parfum Palace in search of the Poké Flute, and there the two trainers worked together to retrieve a runaway [[Furfrou]]. The two trainers then got to watch fireworks together.

The group met up again at the Tower of Mastery in Shalour City, where they learned about Mega Evolution from [[Gurkinn]]. Shauna stayed out of the competition for the [[Mega Ring]], and instead, she chose to cheer on both Calem/Serena and Serena/Calem. She then appeared in Lumiose City, where she celebrated the power returning to the city and took Calem/Serena to witness Prism Tower's reactivation. Shauna then told the trainer about Clemont and wished them luck at his gym. After that, the group met up at Route 14 and listened to a scary story being told at a house there. They then went ahead to Laverre City, where Shauna and Trevor went off to check out the Poké Ball Factory. However, it was guarded by [[Team Flare]], and one grunt chased the two of them around for a while. Later on, Shauna somehow found her way to Team Flare's Secret HQ at Geosenge Town, where she joined Calem/Serena and Serena/Calem in their efforts to deactivate the [[ultimate weapon]]. Shauna was determined that they should stick together despite her fears that she would slow them down, and she was able to use up her device from Clemont to open up a lock so that they could proceed. Shauna also attempted to reason with [[Lysandre]] by pointing out how his Pokémon  shared energy with him freely, but Lysandre would not listen to her. After Team Flare's defeat, she decided that they should resume their adventure.

At Route 19, Shauna showed up to confront Calem/Serena and challenged them to a Pokémon  battle. She lost, but found it exciting to battle with friends  and was reminded of their first battle at Aquacord Town. She then watched as Tierno and Trevor also challenged Calem/Serena in succession. Shauna expressed how grateful she was for this journey and the friends she had made, and she then gave HM 05: Waterfall to Calem/Serena before departing. After Calem/Serena had become champion, Shauna could be found at Vaniville Town. She had bred her Starter Pokémon and offered to trade the resulting Pokémon  to Calem/Serena for any Pokémon . She saw this as an equivalent of a friendship bracelet for them. She also mentioned wanting to visit a faraway region. Additionally, Shauna was available as a battle partner for Multi Battles at the Battle Maison.

==Pokémon Roster==

*[[Chespin]]/[[Quilladan]]/[[Chesnaught]], [[Fennekin]]/[[Braixen]]/[[Delphox]] or [[Froakie]]/[[Frogadier]]/[[Greninja]]: Shauna chooses a starter Pokémon  with a type disadvantage against the one chosen by a player (such as picking Froakie if the player chose Chespin). The starter Pokémon  is the only Pokémon  used during the first battle with her, and it evolves into its final form by the second battle with her. Her Pokémon  is never seen in its middle form.
*[[Delcatty]]: She uses this Pokémon only during the second battle.
*[[Goodra]]: She uses this Pokémon during the second battle and at the Battle Maison.
*[[Sylveon]]: She uses this only at the Battle Maison, along with her Goodra.

She also received one of Kanto starters from Sycamore ([[Bulbasaur]], [[Charmander]] and [[Squirtle]]), but it is never established which one she chooses, and she never uses it in battle. As mentioned above, she also hatches an egg containing the first form of her starter Pokémon and trades it to Calem/Serena for any of the player's Pokémon.

=In Other Pokémon Games=

In ''[[Pokémon Masters EX]]'', Shauna and Chesnaught appeared together as a playable sync pair that could be recruited at random through the game's Sync Pair Scout feature. A Special Costume variant of Shauna (wearing a dress patterned to resemble a detective's coat) was made available during limited time periods starting in April 2023. In the game's Main Story, she played a role in the Kalos chapter of the Villain Arc, in which she reunited with Calem, Serena, Tierno and Trevor for the first time since their journey in Kalos to see a play that [[Diantha]] was acting in as part of a peace ceremony. When Team Flare members disrupted the play, Shauna and [[Emma]] stepped up to help Calem and Serena battle them. Shauna and her Kalos companions later went off with [[Professor Sycamore]] to investigate rumors of an invisible Pokémon, and they ultimately came across Lysandre with his [[Volcanion]]. Shauna attempted to convince Lysandre to work with others to protect the world instead of destroying it, because he ends up relying on others anyway. This seemed to impress Lysandre and made him wish that the world had more purehearted people like her. Shauna was also featured in the Solo Event "With Beauty and Grace", in which she and [[Flannery]] went to various trainers seeking advice on how to mature into cool grown-ups, ultimately settling on declaring a reluctant [[Hapu]] as their mentor after misunderstanding her advice. She was also featured in the "Solve the Case!" Costume Event, in which she acted as the assistant to [[Steven Stone]]'s detective role during a mystery game. Shauna turned out to be the culprit and was commended for the act she put on. Afterwards, she helped to solve real mystery of Pokémon being stolen and was able to guess [[Zinnia]]'s motivation.

=Other Appearances=

==Other Media==

*In the ''Pokémon'' anime, Shauna was featured as a recurring character during the ''X''/''Y''-based series along with Tierno and Trevor. In this version, she was a Pokémon Performer who competed in Pokémon  Showcases in hopes of becoming the Kalos Queen. She acted as a friendly rival to Serena in the Showcases and ultimately lost to her in the semifinals of the Pokémon  Showcase Master Class. She later made a cameo appearance during the ''Pokémon Journeys'' series, in which she was seen watching [[Lance]] and [[Diantha]]'s battle of the Masters Eight Tournament on television alongside Tierno, Trevor and Sawyer. Shauna had a [[Bulbasaur]] as her starter Pokémon, which evolved into an [[Ivysaur]].
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Shauna appeared as one of the main characters of the ''X''/''Y'' arc. In this version, she was an aspiring Furfrou stylist who was childhood friends with X, Y, Tierno and Trevor. She became enemies with Celosia of Team Flare, who briefly possessed Shauna and turned her against her friends with her [[Honedge]]. In the arc's climax, Shauna was able to defeat Celosia in battle after [[Korrina]]'s [[Lucario]] protected her from another possession. She had lost her Furfrou in the beginning of the arc, but it was returned to her at the end.

=Trivia=

*Her Japanese name is Sana, with her English name likely having been chosen to sound similar. The name seems to come from a Latin word meaning "healthy" or an Arabic word meaning "brilliance".
*Her suggestion for a nickname for Calem/Serena is to use "Lil" followed by the first letter of the character's name.
*She is the rival character who is battled the least amount of times over the course of the game (tied with Trevor if he is counted as a rival), as she is only battled twice. She is also the only rival to trade Pokémon  with the player.
*The Pokémon  that Shauna trades to the player will have one perfect IV (Attack for Chespin, Special Attack for Fennekin and Speed for Froakie).
*Her Trainer ID number is 00037.
