Anastasia is the Gym Leader of Kepler City's Gym, known officially as the Kepler Gym. She specializes in mostly Steel and Electric-type Pokémon. She gives the Circuit Badge to Trainers who defeat her.

In the game

Anastasia appears in Pokémon Insurgence as the Gym Leader of Kepler City's Gym. This Gym is the fifth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat her will be given the Circuit Badge, along with TM24 (Thunderbolt).

Anastasia first appears in the story when the player attempts to find her in the Kepler City observatory. Here, she accepts the player's challenge and then tells him or her not to worry about the possibility of her being a target of the cultists as she can take care of herself. As soon as Anastasia walks outside of the observatory, the sky appears dark and intense rainfall is plaguing the city. As she contemplates the cause of this phenomenon, Audrey appears while riding Lugia and explains that the weather is her doing. Audrey informs Anastasia that her final plan is going to be put into action now and that Anastasia cannot stop her so long as she still has a city to protect. After Audrey leaves, Anastasia confirms the truth of what she just said and asks the player to find someone who can put her Scuba Gear to good use and put a stop to Audrey's scheme.

After the player defeats Audrey and returns the city to normal, she then battles the player in her gym.

The player is invited to her Hidden Workshop once she has been defeated, which the player is prompted to visit immediately after noticing Taen enter it. Once inside, the protagonist discovers that Anastasia has been building armors that Taen commissioned while turning a blind eye to what he would use them for in the future. After Orion enters and the player defeats Taen, Anastasia insists that she didn't know that Taen was a cultist until that very same day and also invites the player to look at her wares in the shop.

This marks the end of Anastasia's role in the story at this point in the game's development
