'''Tyler''' (Japanese: '''タイセイ''' ''Taisei'') is a beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]] and the [[character of the day]] in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''. He is voiced by 斎藤千和 ''Chiwa Saito'' in Japanese and by [[Zoe Martin]] in English.

Tyler was trying desperately to catch a {{p|Yanma}} when he met {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|crew}}. Like {{an|Dawn}}, his [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{p|Piplup}}. It was nicknamed ''Pippy'' (Japanese: チャッピー Chappy), and it wore a tiara on its head that was a gift from Tyler's mother. After finally weakening a {{TP|Jessie|Yanma|Yanmega}}, he was about to catch it until [[Team Rocket]] showed up. [[Jessie]] threw a [[Poké Ball]] at it and caught it herself.

Dismayed by this, Tyler began to feel that he would never catch a Yanma, but Ash encouraged him and he found the confidence to try again. The next day, he attempts to catch another Yanma but Team Rocket interfered once again and the Yanma got away. A little bit later he put out some of {{an|Brock}}'s [[Pokémon food]] and another Yanma started to eat it. Team Rocket tried to interfere again but Ash sent them blasting off. It took a couple of attempts but Tyler managed to catch this Yanma.

|desc=When he started his Pokémon journey, Tyler's [[starter Pokémon]] was a female {{p|Piplup}} that he [[nickname]]d Pippy (チャッピー ''Chappy''). Despite the fact their journey together had only just started, Pippy was very loyal to Tyler and also very friendly towards other people despite the fact Piplup are normally known for being distrusting of strangers. Pippy was also a skilled battler, as she not only was able to swim faster than [[Dawn's Piplup]] but was also instrumental in Tyler's successful campaign to capture a Yanma.

Pippy's known moves are {{m|Pound}}, {{m|Peck}} and {{m|Bubble}}.}}

|desc=Upon starting his journey, Tyler made a vow to capture the first Pokémon he saw, and that was a {{p|Yanma}}. Although the {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} he saw was later captured by [[Jessie]], Tyler didn't give up and decided that although he couldn't capture that particular Yanma he would still attempt to capture another. After a few attempts (which only failed thanks to [[Team Rocket]]'s interference), Tyler and Pippy finally succeeded in catching another passing Yanma.

Yanma's known moves are {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|SonicBoom}}.}}
