Mary

Mary in the anime, Stadium 2 and the manga

Mary debuted in the anime episode Air Time!, where Ash appears on her show and she narrates a radio drama that Team Rocket hijacks from inside the studio. She hosts her own quiz show in Pokémon Stadium 2, and in the Pokémon Adventures manga she owns a Smeargle called Smea-Smea, a gift from Whitney.

Mary on cards: Mary's Impulse and Mary's Request

Our catalog lists 2 Mary cards in 2 sets, both Uncommon Supporters illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Mary's Impulse comes from Expedition Base Set (2002), the set that brought Supporter cards to the English game; it shows her broadcasting outdoors and has you flip a coin until tails, drawing 2 cards for each heads. Mary's Request, from Unseen Forces (2005), pictures her interviewing Olivine Gym Leader Jasmine beside what appears to be Amphy, the Ampharos from the Olivine Lighthouse. It draws 1 card, or 3 if you have no evolved Stage 2 Pokémon in play.

She had reached cards once before, on a Neo Genesis Trainer card titled simply Mary.
