Tate and Liza (Japanese: フウとラン Fū and Ran) are the Gym Leaders of Mossdeep City's Gym, known officially as the Mossdeep Gym. They specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon. They give the Mind Badge to trainers who defeat them.

In the anime

In the anime, Tate and Liza's father owns the Mossdeep Space Center and often goes into space to search for space Pokémon. This means that they often spend time at the Space Center, and even have battles in zero-gravity by using their Baltoy's Confusion technique to levitate them. Their mother is the judge for Gym Battles.

Liza is the older of the two, and is more experienced in battle, allowing Tate to relate with Max. When fighting together in their double battle against Ash, they kept initially kept bickering and allowing their opponent to get hits in. However, once they were able to work together they showed an incredible ability to balance each others Pokémon, becoming a seemingly unstoppable force that Ash had to resort to unorthodox tactics to defeat.

Liza is voiced by 横山智佐 Chisa Yokoyama in the original, Andi Whaley in the English version and Samira Fernandes in Brazilian Portuguese. Tate is voiced by 水島大宙 Takahiro Mizushima in the original, Jason Griffith in the English version and Dado Monteiro in Brazilian Portuguese.

In Pokémon Special, Liza and Tate are the guardians of Mt. Pyre. When they somehow sensed someone had intruded into Mt. Pyre, they went all the way to Lilycove from Mossdeep in order to protect the two Orbs. However, they fell into Hokage's fire illusion until Juan rescued them. Afterwards, they become Ruby's and Sapphire's teachers in double battling on the Mirage Island. They stayed on the island to ensure Ruby and Sapphire can leave for Sootopolis safely, and were not seen since then.
