Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric," and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot." He prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.
Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric," and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot." He prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.


Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity.
Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity.  


In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
Wattson was the Project Leader of the [[Sea Mauville]] project under [[Greater Mauville Holdings]].  Based on [[Sea Mauville#History|documents in Sea Mauville]], Wattson ended up being involved in the closure of both [[New Mauville]] and [[Sea Mauville]] due to issues involving the environment and Pokémon.  Prior to the closure of [[Sea Mauville]], Wattson was under investigation by [[Dock]] for actions that Wattson took to close New Mauville.


If the player returns to Mauville after getting {{m|Surf}}, Wattson will ask him or her to go to [[New Mauville]] on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, as a sign of his appreciation.
In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he gives out {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}
 
If the player returns to Mauville after getting {{m|Surf}}{{sup/3|RSE}} or saving Hoenn from [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}, Wattson will ask him or her to go to New Mauville on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, as a sign of his appreciation.

*After being defeated
:''"I was electrified by you. Now, take this Badge!"''
:''"With the Dynamo Badge, Pokémon can use the [[HM]] {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle. One other thing—Pokémon up to Level 40 will obey you now, even if you got 'em from someone else! All righty then, this here's for you, too! Go on, take it with you!"''

;[[Mauville City]]
*In front of Square Tower
:''"Oh, <{{player}}>, eh? You got here just in time to give me a hand and take a look at this. This is Square Tower, an attraction here in Mauville City. It's not just for decoration, though. It has a purpose. It's monitoring how things are going in a place near here called New Mauville. To put it simply, it's a watchtower. The light's shining brightly now, see? It's warning us that something out of the ordinary may be going on in New Mauville. I've got something to ask of you, <player>. If we're going to keep standing around talking, could I get you to come to my place? I've got an apartment on the second floor at Mauville Hills. I'll let the security guy know, so how about you grab the elevator on the first floor? I sure am sorry to put you out like this, <player>, but please do come."''
 
*Through intercom
:''"Oh, <player>. Please come in. It's open."''
 
*In his apartment (before New Mauville sidequest)
:''"Oh, <player>, you made it! I'm sure sorry to call you all the way out here. Well, I've got a favor I need done right away. I've mentioned this before, but that bright, flashing light on top of that tower means something may have happened in New Mauville! That's why I called you here. I want you to go check on things in New Mauville. There's just one thing, though. New Mauville is usually a prohibited area. Back in my day, it was just locked up normally, but security has been evolving, too! Don't you go anywhere just yet... Hey, thanks! I just took a picture of your eyes. Now if we just use the computer to transmit this data... Now if you go to New Mauville, the doors will open automatically! The Basement Key has what they call "iris recognition." When you get inside, go press the button on the computer in the back. When that computer starts working right, come back here and report to me. I sure am sorry to bug you with all this, but I'm really counting on you!"''
:''"All righty then, I'm counting on you for that investigation of New Mauville! You can {{m|Surf}} from {{rt|110|Hoenn}} to get to New Mauville."''
 
*In his apartment (after New Mauvile sidequest)
:''"Oh, <player>! Sorry to make you come all this way. You went out to New Mauville, right? The results of your investigation have been sent here to my computer, too. The most important thing is that there don't appear to be any abnormalities for the time being. Let me give you this as a way to say sorry for causing you such a hassle."''
:''"By the way, there wasn't anything going on in New Mauville, right? That was supposed to be a new town, though... We should've been able to build a huge underground city stretching down into the depths. Things happened, and its development had to be suspended. Since then it's just been left to rot. All the equipment inside might have seen better days."''

[[File:Wattson Flannery Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Wattson in Pokémon Adventures]]
Wattson is the cheerful [[Gym Leader]] of {{ci|Mauville}}, who enjoys cracking jokes that include puns on people's names. His motto was "Be cheerful, no matter when or where". He doesn't care when or where the battles take place, every challenge to him qualifies as a Gym battle. He doesn't even care about the result, and would often give out Badges as long as his challengers do their best. Because of this attitude, {{adv|Sapphire}} was very annoyed with him.
Wattson debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He is a joke-loving Gym Leader who is friends with the [[Trick Master]]. When {{adv|Sapphire}} arrives at Mauville City to challenge her third Gym, she is attacked by one of the Trick Master's machines. When she is captured by it, Wattson and the Trick Master come out of hiding to celebrate their victory, only to realize their mistake. Wattson apologizes for the trouble he caused Sapphire and explained that he and the Trick Master were aiming to capture a wild trouble-making {{p|Donphan}} in the area. When Sapphire wondered if the trap-door she fell into earlier was another one of their gadgets, Wattson realizes that Sapphire had accidentally found the entrance to New Mauville. They attempt to open the entrance again, only for a group of children aiming to challenge Wattson arrive. Wattson easily defeats that children, but awards them Gym Badges anyway. This angers Sapphire, but Wattson explains that he does not really care about the results and enjoys giving Badges if his opponents do their best. He offers a Badge to Sapphire for finding the entrance to New Mauville, but she angrily rejects it on the pretense that wants to earn it in a battle.
 
Sapphire smacks the Badge away from Wattson, which lands on the Donphan and provokes it into chasing after the three. Wattson, Trick Master, Sapphire, and Donphan all end up crashing into New Mauville. Wattson ends up separated from the others and gets attacked by the New Muaville generator. The generator defeats and captures Wattson and continuously drains his Pokémon's electricity. Sapphire works together with Wattson's {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} and Donphan to stop the generator and free Wattson from its grip. When the generator is defeated, they find that New Mauville was created by the Trick Master's ancestor as a playground for children. They decide to renovate the place so that the children of Mauville City can have a place to play in. Wattson thanks Sapphire for her help and later awards her with the Dynamo Badge.


When Sapphire first met the elderly Gym leader, he and the Trick Master were trying to locate a rampaging {{p|Donphan}} with tricks developed by the latter. But they had mistaken Sapphire as the Donphan and trapped her and her Pokémon with the tricks. Sapphire inquired whether the turning door on the ground was also part of their traps. It was actually the secret entrance to [[New Mauville]], the secret underground city Wattson and Trick Master had been trying to find for some time.
Later, Wattson and the other Gym Leaders are called by [[Flannery]] to meet in [[Fortree City]]. They have a discussion on [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Wattson sides with Team Magma, as their goal is to expand the landmass meant that Mauville City could get more land for the children to play in.


Mauville had been having the problem of land shortage and overcrowding because of the growing number of children in the city. As both Wattson and Trick Master cherish children a lot, they hoped they could find this secret city for them. Later, Sapphire saved Wattson from an overcharged generator and got the New Mauville, which is a large amusement park, into operation. Thankful for her help, Wattson gave her the {{Badge|Dynamo}}.
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wattson and Flannery are sent to the rain-plagued areas to face Kyogre in battle. Despite their best efforts, Kyogre proves to be too powerful for any of their attacks to damage it. They are later assisted by [[Winona]], who also participates in the battle to stop Kyogre, but all three are interrupted by the Subleaders of the Sea Scheme of Team Aqua, {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}}, [[Shelly]], and {{FB|Aqua Admin|Matt}}. The Subleaders all face one of the Gym Leaders to make sure they can't stop Kyogre from advancing any further.


After being informed about [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s schemes, he sided with Team Magma because of his city's problem of land shortage. When the two ancient Pokémon were awakened, he was assigned to fight against {{p|Kyogre}}, and later [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]], one of the [[Subleaders of the Sea Scheme|Aqua Admins]]. He was knocked into the sea after being attacked from behind by a {{p|Shedinja}}, but Sapphire's {{p|Wailord}} saved his life. He was left on the [[Pokémon Association]]'s aircraft as he was too injured to continue fighting.
Wattson faces Amber in battle and easily defeats his single {{type|Water}} Pokémon, leaving his opponent without anything else to use. Shelly assists her ally by giving Amber her {{p|Nincada}} to use in battle. Wattson continues to have an easy time against his opponent, but Amber reveals he was stalling so that Nincada could evolve into {{p|Ninjask}}. With its newfound speed, Ninjask gains an advantage over Wattson's {{p|Manectric}}, forcing Wattson to sacrifice his Pokémon to knock it out. Wattson gloats over his victory since he still has more Pokémon to battle with, but he is struck from behind and knocked into the sea. As he sinks, Amber reveals that when his Nincada evolved, it also created a {{p|Shedinja}} that attacked Wattson when he was defenseless. Wattson is later rescued by Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}}, which brought him back to the surface using {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Water Spout}}.
 
After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Wattson celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Sapphire and {{adv|Ruby}} for their assistance in the battle.

Wattson (Japanese: テッセン Tessen) is the Gym Leader of Mauville City's Gym, known officially as the Mauville Gym. Trainers who defeat him receive the Dynamo Badge. He is a jolly old man who specializes in Electric-type Pokémon.

In the games

Wattson's title is "The cheerfully electrifying man!" The citizens of Mauville think of him as "eccentric," and one of his students affectionately referred to him as a "tough coot." He prefers to employ Electric-type Pokémon, and is a generally jovial man.

Wattson founded Mauville; he once had a desire to convert Mauville in an expansion project, but abandoned that plan. Instead, he installed switch-controlled dynamos in his Gym that create doors of electricity.

Wattson was the Project Leader of the Sea Mauville project under Greater Mauville Holdings. Based on documents in Sea Mauville, Wattson ended up being involved in the closure of both New Mauville and Sea Mauville due to issues involving the environment and Pokémon. Prior to the closure of Sea Mauville, Wattson was under investigation by Dock for actions that Wattson took to close New Mauville.

In addition to the Dynamo Badge, Wattson gives out TM34 (Shock Wave), in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he gives out TM72 (Volt Switch)

If the player returns to Mauville after getting SurfRSE or saving Hoenn from Primal GroudonOR/KyogreAS, Wattson will ask him or her to go to New Mauville on an errand for him. If the player completes the task, Wattson will give TM24 (Thunderbolt), as a sign of his appreciation.

Quotes

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald

Mauville Gym
  • Before battle
"I've given up on my plans to convert the city, I have. And so, I put my time into making door traps in my Gym. Oh? Now, what are you doing here? What's that? You say you've gotten past all my rigged doors? Wahahahah! Now, that is amusing! Then, I, Wattson, the Leader of Mauville Gym, shall electrify you!"
  • Being defeated
"Wahahahah! Fine, I lost! You ended up giving me a thrill! Take this Badge!"
  • After being defeated
"With this Dynamo Badge, Pokémon can use Rock Smash out of battle. And, it will make your Pokémon a little bit faster, too. Hmm... You should take this, too!"
"That TM34 there contains Shock Wave. It's a trustworthy move that never misses! You can count on it!"
"Wahahahah! Go forth and endeavor, youngster!"RS
"I swell with optimism, seeing a promising young Trainer like you!"E
Mauville City
  • Before New Mauville sidequest
"Oh, <player>! You look like you have a lot of zip! That's a good thing, wahahahaha! Fine, I've decided! I need a favor, <player>! Mauville City has an underground sector called New Mauville. <Player>, I'd like you to go there and switch off the Generator. The Generator has been running a bit haywire. It's getting unsafe. Here, this is the Key to get into New Mauville."
"Don't you worry about it. It won't be a challenge to you. The entrance to New Mauville is just a short Surf away from Route 110. That's it, then! You have my trust, wahahaha!"
  • After finishing New Mauville sidequest
"Wahahahaha! I knew it, <player>! I knew I'd made the right choice asking you! This is my thanks--a TM containing Thunderbolt! Go on, you've earned it!"
"Wahahahaha! It pleases me to no end to see the young step up and take charge!"

Mauville City
  • In front of Square Tower
"Oh, <player>, eh? You got here just in time to give me a hand and take a look at this. This is Square Tower, an attraction here in Mauville City. It's not just for decoration, though. It has a purpose. It's monitoring how things are going in a place near here called New Mauville. To put it simply, it's a watchtower. The light's shining brightly now, see? It's warning us that something out of the ordinary may be going on in New Mauville. I've got something to ask of you, <player>. If we're going to keep standing around talking, could I get you to come to my place? I've got an apartment on the second floor at Mauville Hills. I'll let the security guy know, so how about you grab the elevator on the first floor? I sure am sorry to put you out like this, <player>, but please do come."
  • Through intercom
"Oh, <player>. Please come in. It's open."
  • In his apartment (before New Mauville sidequest)
"Oh, <player>, you made it! I'm sure sorry to call you all the way out here. Well, I've got a favor I need done right away. I've mentioned this before, but that bright, flashing light on top of that tower means something may have happened in New Mauville! That's why I called you here. I want you to go check on things in New Mauville. There's just one thing, though. New Mauville is usually a prohibited area. Back in my day, it was just locked up normally, but security has been evolving, too! Don't you go anywhere just yet... Hey, thanks! I just took a picture of your eyes. Now if we just use the computer to transmit this data... Now if you go to New Mauville, the doors will open automatically! The Basement Key has what they call "iris recognition." When you get inside, go press the button on the computer in the back. When that computer starts working right, come back here and report to me. I sure am sorry to bug you with all this, but I'm really counting on you!"
"All righty then, I'm counting on you for that investigation of New Mauville! You can Surf from Route 110 to get to New Mauville."
  • In his apartment (after New Mauvile sidequest)
"Oh, <player>! Sorry to make you come all this way. You went out to New Mauville, right? The results of your investigation have been sent here to my computer, too. The most important thing is that there don't appear to be any abnormalities for the time being. Let me give you this as a way to say sorry for causing you such a hassle."
"By the way, there wasn't anything going on in New Mauville, right? That was supposed to be a new town, though... We should've been able to build a huge underground city stretching down into the depths. Things happened, and its development had to be suspended. Since then it's just been left to rot. All the equipment inside might have seen better days."

Wattson in the anime

Wattson first appeared in Watt's with Wattson?. He filled his Gym in Mauville City with many traps, pit-falls, roller coasters, and other tricks and pranks. Wattson believed his gadgetry was not only hilarious, but also kept Trainers on their toes. One of Wattson's tricks was a robotic Raikou that ended up overcharging Pikachu's electricity. As a result, Ash's Pikachu was able to completely wipe out Wattson's team on his own, using a series of super-powerful Thunderbolts.

Losing so easily really depressed the usually cheerful Gym Leader. As such, Wattson left everyone a note saying that he went away to think. Uncharacteristically glum, he wandered off to the local power plant and met a friendly Electrike. Soon after, Team Rocket stole all the Electric-type Pokémon from the power plant. Wattson, Ash, Brock, Max, and May pursued them. Wattson used the Raikou robot to stop them in their tracks, while Pikachu and Electrike used Iron Tail and Bite to free the wild Pokémon. Ash tried to return the Dynamo Badge, but Wattson told him to keep it. Electrike decided to stay with Wattson.

Wattson reappeared in Manectric Charge. He saved most of the group's Pokémon from another Team Rocket kidnapping attempt. The battle caused Electrike to evolve into Manectric. They were on their way back to Petalburg City, but Ash and his friends took time out for a battle. Ash's Torkoal fought against Wattson's Manectric in a fierce battle, which Manectric won.

He reappeared in a flashback in Whiscash and Ash.

Wattson in Pokémon Adventures

Wattson debuts in the Ruby & Sapphire arc. He is a joke-loving Gym Leader who is friends with the Trick Master. When Sapphire arrives at Mauville City to challenge her third Gym, she is attacked by one of the Trick Master's machines. When she is captured by it, Wattson and the Trick Master come out of hiding to celebrate their victory, only to realize their mistake. Wattson apologizes for the trouble he caused Sapphire and explained that he and the Trick Master were aiming to capture a wild trouble-making Donphan in the area. When Sapphire wondered if the trap-door she fell into earlier was another one of their gadgets, Wattson realizes that Sapphire had accidentally found the entrance to New Mauville. They attempt to open the entrance again, only for a group of children aiming to challenge Wattson arrive. Wattson easily defeats that children, but awards them Gym Badges anyway. This angers Sapphire, but Wattson explains that he does not really care about the results and enjoys giving Badges if his opponents do their best. He offers a Badge to Sapphire for finding the entrance to New Mauville, but she angrily rejects it on the pretense that wants to earn it in a battle.

Sapphire smacks the Badge away from Wattson, which lands on the Donphan and provokes it into chasing after the three. Wattson, Trick Master, Sapphire, and Donphan all end up crashing into New Mauville. Wattson ends up separated from the others and gets attacked by the New Muaville generator. The generator defeats and captures Wattson and continuously drains his Pokémon's electricity. Sapphire works together with Wattson's Electrike and Donphan to stop the generator and free Wattson from its grip. When the generator is defeated, they find that New Mauville was created by the Trick Master's ancestor as a playground for children. They decide to renovate the place so that the children of Mauville City can have a place to play in. Wattson thanks Sapphire for her help and later awards her with the Dynamo Badge.

Later, Wattson and the other Gym Leaders are called by Flannery to meet in Fortree City. They have a discussion on Team Magma and Team Aqua about whether or not one of the teams is evil and the other is good. Wattson sides with Team Magma, as their goal is to expand the landmass meant that Mauville City could get more land for the children to play in.

When Groudon and Kyogre are awakened, they begin causing droughts and downpours throughout Hoenn. Wattson and Flannery are sent to the rain-plagued areas to face Kyogre in battle. Despite their best efforts, Kyogre proves to be too powerful for any of their attacks to damage it. They are later assisted by Winona, who also participates in the battle to stop Kyogre, but all three are interrupted by the Subleaders of the Sea Scheme of Team Aqua, Amber, Shelly, and Matt. The Subleaders all face one of the Gym Leaders to make sure they can't stop Kyogre from advancing any further.

Wattson faces Amber in battle and easily defeats his single Water-type Pokémon, leaving his opponent without anything else to use. Shelly assists her ally by giving Amber her Nincada to use in battle. Wattson continues to have an easy time against his opponent, but Amber reveals he was stalling so that Nincada could evolve into Ninjask. With its newfound speed, Ninjask gains an advantage over Wattson's Manectric, forcing Wattson to sacrifice his Pokémon to knock it out. Wattson gloats over his victory since he still has more Pokémon to battle with, but he is struck from behind and knocked into the sea. As he sinks, Amber reveals that when his Nincada evolved, it also created a Shedinja that attacked Wattson when he was defenseless. Wattson is later rescued by Sapphire's Lorry, which brought him back to the surface using Dive and Water Spout.

After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Wattson celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.

Wattson in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire

Wattson appeared in Christmas Night Is Battle Night! of the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga.

Earlier, he told his Electrike to get food for him. Wattson revealed this to Red after Electrike led the group to him when it stole cake from Red. Wattson then gave out a business card. He hid inside a trash can and leaped out in order to surprise someone else and gave out the same card that was given to Red. Clefairy didn't like what Wattson was doing and Electrike growled at Clefairy for disagreeing. Later, Wattson takes the group to a Christmas tree shop and goes inside. While inside, he opened the door to his office which turned out to be empty and beaten up. Feeling sorry for what happened, Clefairy decided to deliver presents in order to cheer Wattson up again. Dragging a sleigh from house to house, Wattson and Clefairy went inside people's houses from the chimney and delivered the presents. When they got back, Wattson and the group discovered that the presents were from the items in the Christmas tree shop and Wattson chases Clefairy for stealing his stuff.

    • Additionally he is the only Gym Leader outside of Johto who doesn't have a Pokémon introduced in the generation he first appears as a Gym Leader.
  • Wattson is the only Electric-type specialist who is not shown with blond hair and blue eyes at least once in the games.
  • Wattson is the only Gym Leader who isn't one of Ash's friends whom Ash has battled after earning his Badge.
