[[File:Gold Silver Bugsy.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Bugsy from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Bugsy appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Azalea Gym]]. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until [[Team Rocket]] has been driven out of the [[Slowpoke Well]].
Bugsy appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Azalea Gym]]. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until [[Team Rocket]] has been driven out of the [[Slowpoke Well]].


Because of his research on {{t|Bug}} Pokémon, Bugsy's knowledge makes him an authority on them. He even discovered the move {{m|Fury Cutter}}, which is the signature move on his {{p|Scyther}}. This research has led to his given title, "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". He claims to never lose when it comes to Bug Pokémon, but&mdash;once defeated by the player&mdash;will admit his research isn't yet finished. Upon defeat he will hand out the {{Badge|Hive}}, and a {{type|Bug}} Technical Machine: {{tm|49|Fury Cutter}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{tm|89|U-turn}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Like all other Johto and Kanto Gym Leaders, Bugsy will leave his Gym from time to time. Every Thursday, Bugsy travels to [[Viridian Forest]] where he will hand out his [[Pokégear]] phone number to fellow travelers all day (12am-11:59pm). From here he will progress to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and, on Thursday afternoons (12pm-3pm), accept a rematch with a stronger team. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays&mdash;the days before the tri-weekly [[Bug-Catching Contest]] — Bugsy will appear at [[National Park]]. On Fridays, he will take photographs with the player and their first Pokémon. Bugsy elects not to compete in the Bug-Catching Contests as he has already won it many times.

Bugsy also has a room in the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. This is the only time he uses Pokémon that are not of the Bug-type.

* Before battle
Bugsy appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Kakuna}} to battle.
:''"I'm Bugsy! I never lose when it comes to bug Pokémon. My research is going to make me the authority on bug Pokémon! Let me demonstrate what I've learned from my studies."''


* When defeated
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
:''"Whoa, amazing! You're an expert on Pokémon! My research isn't complete yet. Ok, you win. Take this [[Badge]]."''
{{main|Bugsy (Masters)}}
Bugsy forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Beedrill}} and {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Beedrill is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Bugsy became a playable sync pair since the game's release.


* After being defeated
{{PairDex/h|Bug}}

=====[[Pokégear]] Phone=====
* Calling the player:
:''"Yeah, this is Bugsy... What's up? I think I've already mentioned this to you, but did you know I'm doing research on {{type|Bug}} Pokémon? There's so many different kinds, it's a bit difficult, you know? I'm just studying Bug-type Pokémon, and yet it's still this difficult. People like [[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Oak]] who study all the different types of Pokémon are really something else, you know?"''
:''"Yeah, this is Bugsy... What's up? You know, everyone's really into Bug-type Pokémon when they're kids. But then for some reason, as people grow up, at some point they all start to like Bug-type Pokémon less and less. How about you? Do you still like Bug-type Pokémon? Even if I grow up I'll never stop liking Bug-type Pokémon, no way!"''
 
* Calling him:
:''"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! There are so many stronger Gym Leaders than me out there. You're trying to visit every Gym around the region, aren't you? That's great! Keep up the good work!"''
 
:''"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! On Thursdays around noon, I'm usually free. If you want to see my Bug-type Pokémon again, you should call me then!"''
 
* On Thursday afternoons:
:''"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! Oh, you called at just the right time! I'm not doing anything right now. Wanna battle again?"''
::No: ''"I see... Well, there's no helping that..."''
::Yes: ''"All right! See you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City!"''
 
:''"Hello! How are you? I'm doing great as usual! All right, I’ll be waiting for you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City! Race you there!"''

Bugsy's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP144|Gettin' the Bugs Out]]''.
[[File:Bugsy anime.png|250px|thumb|Bugsy in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the [[Azalea Gym]] in ''[[EP144|Gettin' the Bugs Out]]''. When they first entered the facility, it appeared to be empty, but {{an|Misty}}'s screams after coming face-to-face with several {{t|Bug}} Pokémon alerted Bugsy to their presence. Being a passionate Bug-type expert, Bugsy was quick to criticize Misty for her ignorance towards them. Despite his harsh language, {{an|Brock}} and his friends quickly recognized Bugsy's expertise in all Bug Pokémon.
 
After helping Bugsy out of a tree, Ash's [[Gym]] challenge began. Bugsy first sent out his {{p|Spinarak}} against [[Ash's Cyndaquil]]. Ash soon recalled Cyndaquil after it became too exhausted and went on to defeat Spinarak with his {{AP|Chikorita}}. In the second round, Bugsy's {{p|Metapod}} defeated Chikorita, but {{AP|Pikachu}} was able to land a close-range {{m|Thunderbolt}} and beat Metapod. Bugsy was surprised by Ash's performance and sent out his faithful {{p|Scyther}}. Scyther's blinding speed overwhelmed and defeated Pikachu. Later, Cyndaquil's blazing {{m|Flamethrower}} was able to overcome Scyther's {{m|Swords Dance}} and earn Ash his second [[Johto League]] Badge, the {{Badge|Hive}}.
 
Bugsy appeared in [[Born to Be a Winner]], the opening for [[S04|Pokémon: Johto League Champions]]. He also appeared in a flashback in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.


Bugsy trains in a large, greenhouse-like Gym filled with trees and bugs. He has an affinity for Bug-type Pokémon.
====Character====
Bugsy's {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash showcased his passion and skills as a [[Gym Leader]]. He had developed a range of strategies to combat his Pokémon's type weakness to {{type|Fire}} attacks, such as his {{p|Scyther}}'s {{m|Swords Dance}}. Bugsy utilizes the forest battlefield, mimicking a Bug Pokémon's natural habitat, to his full advantage, having his {{p|Spinarak}} swing from the trees to evade attacks, while his {{p|Metapod}} uses the dust and leaves to camouflage itself to give it the upper hand.


His {{p|Scyther}} can use {{m|Swords Dance}} to deflect {{type|Fire}} attacks. However, {{Ash}} figured out it was vulnerable from above, and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was able to knock it out, winning Ash the Hive Badge.  
Bugsy is particularly competitive, noting that few challengers had recently made it to the final round against his Scyther before Ash's match. He was excited to see Ash overcome his crafted strategies and went on to offer Ash a [[rematch]] if he returned to [[Azalea Town]].

[[File:Bugsy GSC Adventures.png|thumb|Bugsy in the GSC chapter]]
[[File:Falkner Bugsy Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Bugsy in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Bugsy is a ruins explorer. He meets {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]], who at first mistakes the Gym Leader for a girl and asks him out on a date. After he reveals he is a boy, he tells Gold that he is looking for his missing companions who were helping him study the ruins. The two of them then run into Team Rocket, and accidentally awaken the Unown. After being cornered by a Spinarak's Spider Web, Gold's Exbo used Smokescreen to get the Unown in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Bugsy then left the cave with his companions, ecstatic about his new discovery.
Bugsy is equipped with a Capture Net, which is a regular bug-catching net outfitted with the same capture thread contained inside of a Poké Ball. Since the thread is on the outside, it drags the caught Pokémon into a Poké Ball. Bugsy often uses [[Kurt]]'s specialist Poké Balls to aid his capture attempts.
[[File:Bugsy HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|80px|left|Bugsy in the HGSS chapter]]
 
Bugsy is then seen with more research colleagues before Suicune appears to him. He fails to catch Suicune just like the rest, and it becomes the first Pokémon to break through his capture net. He does discover several inscriptions written in Unown, one saying "Rope Escape" and another saying "Ho-Oh".
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Bugsy debuts in ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]'' at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. {{adv|Gold}} initially mistakes Bugsy for a girl and asks him out on a date only to be disappointed when he finds out the truth. When Bugsy reveals that his colleagues have gone missing, Gold decides to help Bugsy find his missing friends. They enter the ruins, but are attacked by the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], who plan to capture the {{p|Unown}} sleeping inside. Gold accidentally awakens the Unown, which begin flying around the ruins. He tricks the Unown into attacking the trio, defeating them. Afterward, they manage to find Bugsy's friends. Bugsy thanks Gold for his help and the two go their separate ways.
 
In ''[[PS113|Delibird Delivery - 1]]'', Bugsy appeared in [[Professor Elm]]'s fantasy when informing Gold that the [[Masked Man]] may be a Gym Leader.
 
Later, Bugsy continues exploring the ruins and even manages to capture an Unown for study purposes. He is attacked by {{p|Suicune}}, who had been challenging all of the Gym Leaders in Johto. Bugsy fights hard, but is ultimately unable to defeat Suicune and is beaten. After Suicune escapes, Bugsy finds inscriptions on the wall mentioning the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Ho-Oh}}. He wonders if Suicune was also trying to leave a message in addition to its challenge.
 
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Bugsy arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the fifth round, he faces off against [[Sabrina]] of [[Saffron City]]. Due a type advantage, Bugsy has the advantage at the start of the round. Sabrina turns the match around by revealing that she had been stalling so that her {{p|Mr. Mime}} could create a room made of invisible walls. With no way of being able to see the room, Bugsy is left defenseless and quickly defeated. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Bugsy and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Bugsy returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.
 
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
[[File:Bugsy HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|130px|left|Bugsy in the ninth chapter]]
Bugsy, along with Chuck and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. Silver's clash ends when he is revealed to be a friend of Chuck's former student, {{adv|Blue}}. They decide to trust Silver and let him inside to meet with Morty, who had been helping Gold due to mistaking him for Silver. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{adv|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.


Later on, Bugsy loses an exhibition match to [[Sabrina]].
During the chaos, Gold finds Bugsy on the ground and picks him up while chasing after Arceus. Gold gives Bugsy a drawing from Morty about the whereabouts of [[Lance]], who he is currently searching for. Bugsy immediately deciphers the drawing as being the Ruins of Alph, which Arceus is also heading towards. After arriving and meeting Lance, Bugsy stays behind while Gold faces Arceus alone. Lance talks to Bugsy about the origins about the [[Pokéathlon]] and how a {{adv|Celebi|Pokémon}} saved a region after a Trainer cleared many obstacles with their Pokémon to meet with it. Lance reveals that he wanted Gold to compete in the Pokéathlon as a way to recreate the legend as a way to try and get close to Arceus. Bugsy expresses more interest in the Pokémon that saved the region. Bugsy is left alone when Lance goes off to get help.


Bugsy uses a special multi-[[Poké Ball]] capture net made for him by [[Kurt]].

Bugsy first appeared in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal]]'' when {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was watching a basketball game from above. He invited Gold to take part in it as the game celebrated the [[Ruins of Alph]]'s anniversary. When Gold agreed to take part, Bugsy formed a team with him and allowed Gold to take the prize if they won. They go up against a {{tc|Firebreather}} named Takeo. Despite his team having a type advantage against Bugsy's, Bugsy and Gold were able to defeat him and win the prize (with Gold actually keeping it).

They find out that {{OBP|Black|Golden Boys}} is also in the cave, who wants to capture the {{p|Lapras}} in there, no matter what it takes.

Bugsy (Japanese: ツクシ Tsukushi) is the Gym Leader of Azalea Town's Gym, known officially as the Azalea Gym. He hands out the Hive Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Bug-type Pokémon.

In the core series games

Bugsy appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver as the Gym Leader of the Azalea Gym. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until Team Rocket has been driven out of the Slowpoke Well.

Because of his research on Bug Pokémon, Bugsy's knowledge makes him an authority on them. He even discovered the move Fury Cutter, which is the signature move on his Scyther. This research has led to his given title, "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". He claims to never lose when it comes to Bug Pokémon, but—once defeated by the player—will admit his research isn't yet finished. Upon defeat he will hand out the Hive Badge, and a Bug-type Technical Machine: TM49 (Fury Cutter) in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and TM89 (U-turn) in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Like all other Johto and Kanto Gym Leaders, Bugsy will leave his Gym from time to time. Every Thursday, Bugsy travels to Viridian Forest where he will hand out his Pokégear phone number to fellow travelers all day (12am-11:59pm). From here he will progress to the Fighting Dojo and, on Thursday afternoons (12pm-3pm), accept a rematch with a stronger team. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—the days before the tri-weekly Bug-Catching Contest — Bugsy will appear at National Park. On Fridays, he will take photographs with the player and their first Pokémon. Bugsy elects not to compete in the Bug-Catching Contests as he has already won it many times.

Bugsy in the anime

Ash and his friends visited the Azalea Gym in Gettin' the Bugs Out. When they first entered the facility, it appeared to be empty, but Misty's screams after coming face-to-face with several Bug Pokémon alerted Bugsy to their presence. Being a passionate Bug-type expert, Bugsy was quick to criticize Misty for her ignorance towards them. Despite his harsh language, Brock and his friends quickly recognized Bugsy's expertise in all Bug Pokémon.

After helping Bugsy out of a tree, Ash's Gym challenge began. Bugsy first sent out his Spinarak against Ash's Cyndaquil. Ash soon recalled Cyndaquil after it became too exhausted and went on to defeat Spinarak with his Chikorita. In the second round, Bugsy's Metapod defeated Chikorita, but Pikachu was able to land a close-range Thunderbolt and beat Metapod. Bugsy was surprised by Ash's performance and sent out his faithful Scyther. Scyther's blinding speed overwhelmed and defeated Pikachu. Later, Cyndaquil's blazing Flamethrower was able to overcome Scyther's Swords Dance and earn Ash his second Johto League Badge, the Hive Badge.

Bugsy appeared in Born to Be a Winner, the opening for Pokémon: Johto League Champions. He also appeared in a flashback in Why? Wynaut!.

Character

Bugsy's battle against Ash showcased his passion and skills as a Gym Leader. He had developed a range of strategies to combat his Pokémon's type weakness to Fire-type attacks, such as his Scyther's Swords Dance. Bugsy utilizes the forest battlefield, mimicking a Bug Pokémon's natural habitat, to his full advantage, having his Spinarak swing from the trees to evade attacks, while his Metapod uses the dust and leaves to camouflage itself to give it the upper hand.

Bugsy is particularly competitive, noting that few challengers had recently made it to the final round against his Scyther before Ash's match. He was excited to see Ash overcome his crafted strategies and went on to offer Ash a rematch if he returned to Azalea Town.

This listing is of Bugsy's known Pokémon in the anime:

Bugsy's Spinarak
Spinarak
Spinarak is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against Ash, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled Cyndaquil and almost won with its String Shot and Poison Sting attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out Chikorita instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use Sweet Scent, enabling it to Tackle Spinarak and win the round.

Spinarak's known moves are String Shot and Poison Sting.

Metapod
Bugsy's second choice for his battle with Ash was Metapod. Metapod used Harden several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and tackle Chikorita. Ash decided to use Pikachu, and after dodging many more attacks, Pikachu managed to attack Metapod with Thunderbolt and win.

Metapod's known moves are Harden and Tackle.

Scyther
Main article: Bugsy's Scyther

The final and strongest of Bugsy's Pokémon was Scyther. It first battled Ash's Pikachu, which it easily defeated with a powerful combination of Slash and Fury Cutter attacks after dodging Pikachu's Thunderbolt with Double Team.

Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against Fire-types by using Swords Dance to counter Fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated Ash's Cyndaquil by deflecting all of its Fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy though, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above Scyther and used Flamethrower. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and was knocked out of the battle, allowing Ash to earn the Hive Badge.

Bugsy briefly appeared in GOTCHA!.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Bugsy in Pokémon Adventures

Bugsy is equipped with a Capture Net, which is a regular bug-catching net outfitted with the same capture thread contained inside of a Poké Ball. Since the thread is on the outside, it drags the caught Pokémon into a Poké Ball. Bugsy often uses Kurt's specialist Poké Balls to aid his capture attempts.

History

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Bugsy debuts in Into the Unown at the Ruins of Alph. Gold initially mistakes Bugsy for a girl and asks him out on a date only to be disappointed when he finds out the truth. When Bugsy reveals that his colleagues have gone missing, Gold decides to help Bugsy find his missing friends. They enter the ruins, but are attacked by the Team Rocket Elite Trio, who plan to capture the Unown sleeping inside. Gold accidentally awakens the Unown, which begin flying around the ruins. He tricks the Unown into attacking the trio, defeating them. Afterward, they manage to find Bugsy's friends. Bugsy thanks Gold for his help and the two go their separate ways.

In Delibird Delivery - 1, Bugsy appeared in Professor Elm's fantasy when informing Gold that the Masked Man may be a Gym Leader.

Later, Bugsy continues exploring the ruins and even manages to capture an Unown for study purposes. He is attacked by Suicune, who had been challenging all of the Gym Leaders in Johto. Bugsy fights hard, but is ultimately unable to defeat Suicune and is beaten. After Suicune escapes, Bugsy finds inscriptions on the wall mentioning the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. He wonders if Suicune was also trying to leave a message in addition to its challenge.

At the Indigo Plateau, Bugsy arrives with his fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the fifth round, he faces off against Sabrina of Saffron City. Due a type advantage, Bugsy has the advantage at the start of the round. Sabrina turns the match around by revealing that she had been stalling so that her Mr. Mime could create a room made of invisible walls. With no way of being able to see the room, Bugsy is left defenseless and quickly defeated. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Bugsy and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled Team Rocket Grunts. The fight takes them to the Magnet Train, which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Bugsy returned to his usual duties of being a Gym Leader.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
Bugsy in the ninth chapter

Bugsy, along with Chuck and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the Ecruteak Gym from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When Silver arrives to see Morty under Eusine's recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. Silver's clash ends when he is revealed to be a friend of Chuck's former student, Blue. They decide to trust Silver and let him inside to meet with Morty, who had been helping Gold due to mistaking him for Silver. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of Arceus, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.

During the chaos, Gold finds Bugsy on the ground and picks him up while chasing after Arceus. Gold gives Bugsy a drawing from Morty about the whereabouts of Lance, who he is currently searching for. Bugsy immediately deciphers the drawing as being the Ruins of Alph, which Arceus is also heading towards. After arriving and meeting Lance, Bugsy stays behind while Gold faces Arceus alone. Lance talks to Bugsy about the origins about the Pokéathlon and how a Pokémon saved a region after a Trainer cleared many obstacles with their Pokémon to meet with it. Lance reveals that he wanted Gold to compete in the Pokéathlon as a way to recreate the legend as a way to try and get close to Arceus. Bugsy expresses more interest in the Pokémon that saved the region. Bugsy is left alone when Lance goes off to get help.

Heracross faced the Legendary Pokémon, but was easily swatted away, forcing Bugsy to switch to another tactic. At the Pokémon League, Heracross was used to battle Sabrina's Mr. Mime. Due to its type, Heracross had the advantage, but Sabrina revealed she was deliberately holding back to create an invisible room made out of solidified air. Heracross was left defenseless due to Mr. Mime's Encore, which left it unable to dodge a Psybeam that knocked it out. Later, Heracross helped combat the Masked Man's army of Team Rocket Grunts.

Heracross's known moves are Horn Attack, Megahorn, Endure, and Take Down*.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

Bugsy in Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

Bugsy first appeared in Let's Aim For The Goal when Gold was watching a basketball game from above. He invited Gold to take part in it as the game celebrated the Ruins of Alph's anniversary. When Gold agreed to take part, Bugsy formed a team with him and allowed Gold to take the prize if they won. They go up against a Firebreather named Takeo. Despite his team having a type advantage against Bugsy's, Bugsy and Gold were able to defeat him and win the prize (with Gold actually keeping it).

During their time in the Ruins of Alph, they hear over the intercom that an incident happened in the Union Cave and Bugsy tells Gold to come with him. They find out that Black is also in the cave, who wants to capture the Lapras in there, no matter what it takes. After the events in the Union Cave, Bugsy reveals to Gold that he is the Leader of the Azalea Gym. Then, he challenges Gold using his Scyther while Gold sent out the Pokémon that Black released while in the Union Cave, a Bayleef. Despite having the type advantage, Scyther lost and Gold was awarded the Hive Badge.

Bugsy reunited with Gold in Gold And Black VS. Team Rocket, where he and Whitney were at the Tin Tower.

After the events relating with the Slowpoke, Red encountered Bugsy in The Hardest Insect Pokémon Wins?!.

The charcoal maker recommended Red and his Pokémon to see him in his Gym while he stayed behind. The group went to the Azalea Gym to do so. Bugsy showed them his collection of Bug-type. Afterwards, he had a Gym battle with Red. Even though his Pokémon appeared to be powerful, Clefairy's gag moves defeated them, which earned Red the Hive Badge. He gave them four Poké Balls, and unbeknownst to the group, an onion was hidden in one of them. The group ran off and gave Professor Oak the onion in the Poké Ball.

In PMHGSS05, Red had a rematch with him as part of the goal to collect all of the Johto Gym Badges. He was able to defeat him after a close call with Tyrogue.

Trivia

  • Bugsy's Japanese title is 歩く虫ポケ大百科.
  • There is data in Pokémon Crystal for the gender of every Trainer class in the game, with the exception of Eusine. This is used to select which dialogue pool to sample from when randomly choosing the opponent's dialogue. Interestingly, Bugsy is one of two male characters to be identified as female in this array. The other is Will.
    • Similarly to Saturn, Will, and Janine, his Pokémon are the opposite gender despite them having a 50-50 gender ratio.
    • Bugsy's Pokémon were all male in the original Johto games.
  • In Pokémon Stadium 2, Bugsy incorrectly refers to his Heracross's Megahorn as "Megaphone".
