In the games

Crasher Wake uses Template:Type2 Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the Fen Badge, TM55 (Brine) and are able to use Defog outside of battle. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone not to take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use Defog to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

He later appears in the Battle Zone, talking to the player's rival, Pearl. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. This may mean he is simply from another region, but this has little evidence.

Quotes

Before battle
"Welcome! I don't get challenged very often! The glory you are now beholding is the Pastoria Gym Leader! That's right, I'm Crasher Wake! My Pokémon were toughened up by stormy white waters! They'll take everything you can throw at them and then pull you under! Victory will be ours! Come on, let's get it done!"

After sending out last Pokémon
"Hey! That there! That was a good move!"

During battle
"This is where it gets exciting!"

When defeated
"Hunwah! It's gone and ended! How will I say... I want more! I wanted to battle a lot more!"

After being defeated
"It seems the undertow pulled me under... But I had a great time battling with you! You've earned this!"

Trivia

• His Japanese Leader title is アントニオ・ザ・マキシマム仮面.
• Crasher Wake's use of his prize money to help the disadvantaged is a common cliché in tales of fictional luchadores, inspired by the real-life luchador Fray Tormenta.
• Crasher Wake is a Template:Type2 trainer with a pastime involving fighting, in comparison with Brawly, a Template:Type2 trainer with a pastime involving water.
• Crasher Wake has been featured in fewer episodes than any other Sinnoh Gym Leader so far.
• All of Wake's Pokémon are ones that have gender differences.
• Despite the game claiming that he uses Defog for Pastoria City, none of the Pokémon he uses in battle can learn it.
• Since Platinum switched up the gym order after Ash defeated Crasher Wake and earned the Fen badge, he is technically the fourth gym leader in the anime to be defeated out of order from the games. However, it should be noted that prior to Platinum's release, Ash fought him in the exact same order as the D/P Games did before Platinum's release.
