Nurse Joy

Like the Jennys there is very little difference in appearance of the Nurse Joys. Small differences can be noticed. A Joy in the Orange Islands had got tan from paddling around in canoe taking care of wild Pokemon.

Most of the Nurse Joy's tend to have Chanseys as helpers, who have been trained to care and work in Pokemon centers. One exception can be found where a Nurse Joy was working with its evolved form, a clumsy Blissey.

Nurse Joy is a very caring person and always willing to take care of sick or injured Pokemon. In the aformentioned Orange Islands episode, she cared so much for a Magikarp, that it evolved into a mighty Gyarados. The Gyarados still loved her and saved the gang from Team Rocket.

One exception to Nurse Joys caring side was found in Gringy City, a very polluted town. Ash brought Pikachu into the Pokemon center late at night and the Joy reluctantly explained it probably had a cold. The way she explained it made it sound as if she didn't care. On leaving, she told Ash she was going to try harder in future.
