The instructor

The Pokémon League entrance exam instructor is a character of the day who appeared in The Ultimate Test. Because he was not given an official name, this article will refer to him by his title. He is voiced by Ted Lewis in English and 小西克幸 Katsuyuki Konishi in Japanese.

His job is to oversee the entrance exam for the Pokémon League. He also gives Poké Balls to the test-takers during the final portion of the test to compete in a battle against him.
