Matt (Japanese: ウシオ Ushio) is one of the Aqua Admins of Team Aqua.

In the games

Matt is a Team Aqua Admin in the Generation III games.

In Pokémon Ruby he makes only two cameos, at Meteor Falls and Seafloor Cavern, alongside Archie and Shelly. He doesn't have an active role in the storyline and can't be battled.

In Pokémon Sapphire the player confronts him twice; the first time is when he brings the Meteorite stolen from Meteor Falls to Mt. Chimney, and the player must battle him before battling Archie. He later assists the Aqua Leader in stealing the Submarine Explorer 1, and must then be battled at Aqua Hideout.

In Pokémon Emerald he is seen only once, at Aqua Hideout.

Quotes

Mt. Chimney

  • Before battle
"Hehehe! So you've come all the way here! But you're too late! I've already delivered the Meteorite from Meteor Falls to the Boss!"
  • When defeated
"Hehehe...so I lost... I'm sure glad I didn't take you on back at Meteor Falls!"
  • After being defeated
"Hehehe! you might have beaten me, but don't stand a chance against the Boss! If you get lost now, you won't have to face a sound whipping!"

Aqua Hideout

  • Before battle
"Hehehe...Got here already, did you? We underestimated you! But this is it! I'm a cut above the Grunts you've seen so far. I'm not stalling for time. I'm going to pulverize you!"
  • When defeated
"Hehehe...so I lost, too..."
  • After being defeated
"Hehehe! While I was toying with you, our boss got through his preparations!"
"Hehehe! Our Boss has already gone on his way to some cave under the sea! If you're going to give chase, you'd better search the big, wide sea beyond Lilycove. But will you find it then? Hehehe!"
