Who is Cassiopeia in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Mystery solved.

Before we even begin this article, we want to obviously advise people that there are massive spoiler warnings for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet ahead where we will be explaining one of the games’ big storylines. As such, if you don’t want to be spoiled about anything about the game, no matter how small, we advise you not to continue.

Still here? Good. Then let’s begin.

Cassiopeia is introduced to players as quite a mystery character. She somehow hacks into the player’s phone and has you go along with her plan to destroy Team Star from the very beginning as you work on Mission Starfall together to defeat the five bosses. But who exactly is she?

Cassiopeia’s identity revealed in Scarlet and Violet

If it wasn’t obvious, Cassiopeia’s identity is one of two things.

First, she is the big boss of Team Star, the team you are trying to beat in the first place.

Second, it turns out that she is Penny, the shy trainer wearing the big plush Eevee backpack that has been giving you supplies all this time and was caught being bulled by Team Star at the very beginning of the game.

We won’t go into much detail on how this is revealed or what her motivations are, as we want to leave it to people to experience in the game itself. It still makes for an interesting (if a bit obvious) reveal considering she was the only other main character revealed during the story to not have a big reveal up to that point.
