In the anime

Tate and Liza

Tate and Liza first appeared in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me. Their father Jin owns the Mossdeep Space Center and often goes into space to search for space Pokémon. As a result, 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. Rachel, 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 since Liza sometimes loves to remind him of such facts. When fighting together in their double battle against Ash Ketchum in Solid as a Solrock, they 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 other's Pokémon, becoming a seemingly unstoppable force that Ash had to resort to unorthodox tactics to defeat.

In the Pokémon Special manga

Tate and Liza

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 Mack'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.
