You knew this was coming eventually. Meet Tanya Shard, Geo's mother and a retired Top Coordinator, dubbed the "Contest Queen of Sinnoh", having won 12 Grand Festivals in Sinnoh and five in Hoenn (her native region). This is her while in Alola. She's your typical anime-style mother, but unlike most she's fully capable of showing off her battling skills, proving that retirement didn't dull her abilities at all. As such she's still able to go toe-to-toe with younger generations, especially in Contest Battles where she shows a more devious and cunning side. But she's a supportive mother who wants her son to excel and achieve greatness in his ambitions.
