She uses Ghost Pokémon for the Gym.

Ash then challenged Agatha to a Gym, hoping to demonstrate his strength to Scott. Despite achieving a top eight position in the recent Ever Grande Conference and putting up a good fight, Ash lost to her. Despite that, both Agatha and Scott were impressed by Ash's technique, and Agatha revealed to Ash that she is a member of the Elite Four.

In I Choose You!
Agatha briefly appeared in I Choose You!, which is set in a timeline separate from the main series. She appeared in 's nightmare, in which he lived in a world where Pokémon never existed and attended school like a normal child. In this nightmare, she was seen teaching Ash's class.

In Pokémon Origins
Agatha appeared briefly in File 4: Charizard. She was seen being challenged and defeated by, allowing Red move on to challenge Lance.

In Pokémon Generations
Agatha appeared in The Challenger, where she was first seen talking about, the first in a long time to collect eight Gym Badges, with the rest of the Kanto Elite Four. Later, she was the third Elite Four member challenged by Blue. After her was defeated, Agatha admitted to Blue that she had expected him, as the grandson of Professor Oak, to focus on completing the Pokédex, but Blue responded that, for him, filling the Pokédex was just a tool to become stronger. Blue managed to defeat Agatha and her off-screen, allowing him to move on to Lance's room.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
She was first seen as a cameo when talked about his first championship win, which appeared to be against her in the finals. Agatha was one of the main villains in the of the Pokémon Adventures manga; she was one of the Elite Four who tried to destroy most of humanity from their base on Cerise Island.

She was first seen trying to take away Miles after he was defeated by Yellow and the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto. She was then seen in a flashback during the events of the previous chapter where she battled Blue and attempted to kill him due to his relation to Professor Oak by having her Gengar use Dream Eater to suck away his energy. He managed to escape though and a Haunter she stole from a Trainer named Ivan was also taken back. She then had her Haunter lead an army of Gastly to attack Cerulean City to delay Misty.

She fought against and Koga, revealing an Arbok with the ability to change the pattern on its belly and use different corresponding abilities. She decided to divide Koga and Blue using her Arbok's Rock Slide and she had her Golbat attack Blue. After battling Koga's Arbok for a while Koga started throwing shuriken balls out of nowhere, which Agatha believed was a pitiful attempt to harm her, but was really an attempt to heal Blue's paralysis that Agatha caused using her Haunter's. After that Blue rejoined the battle and Koga used his Golbat's to collect his own blood and smeared it on Arbok's pattern, preventing it from changing anymore. While Agatha was presumably beaten, a second Arbok of hers attacked an unknowing Koga from behind, only to be stopped by Blue before it could land a attack. Agatha was subsequently defeated and seemingly vanished after her defeat, but not before she had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly drain their energy, which was defeated as well. She then revealed that she was the one controlling the Pokémon armies of her peers by using special wrist bands to control them and she used these same bands to force Bruno to join the Elite Four as well.

Agatha used the mind-controlling powers of her Pokémon to control Bruno against his will. It is shown that she was the one who also recruited Lorelei by healing her Seel and then figuring out they have a common distaste of humans.

Her relationship with Professor Oak was also revealed when the two were younger. Oak defeated her in the finals for the Pokémon Championship and Agatha met him after the battle and asked why he quit their "research group". He explained that he wanted to create the Pokédex, which she thought was a stupid idea that would never be complete, and a battle ensued. Oak barely won after a battle that lasted several hours, with Agatha swearing a personal vendetta over him and anyone who associates with him.

 * This makes her the only member of the Generation I Elite Four whose team is made up of Pokémon that all share a common type.
 * In, Shauntal of the Unova Elite Four mentions Agatha's resemblance to Bertha of the Sinnoh Elite Four as a quote from her novel during the player's post-National Pokédex challenge.
 * In the Generation I, the battles against Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against Lance. In , the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.
