'''Korrina''' (Japanese: '''コルニ''' ''Corni''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/awefawef_01lucario.jpg "Corni & Mega Lucario"] [[Pokémon Scale World]] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a character who appears in {{g|X and Y}} and the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Successor''' (Japanese: '''けいしょうしゃ''' ''Successor''), and [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

In Pokémon X and Y, she is also the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Shalour City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Shalour Gym]]. She gives the {{badge|Rumble}} to Trainers who defeat her.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, she [[Friend|befriends]] and joins [[Team MZ]], helping them solve the mystery of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===

==== Pokémon X and Y ====
Korrina is a young girl with a slender, athletic build and fair complexion. She has blue-gray eyes and very long, knee-length cream-blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She is noted to have powerful legs; the [[television]] show Gym Freaks mentions that her axe-kicks can shatter rocks.

Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the [[Mega Ring]] as it has a [[Key Stone]] embedded on it. She also wears white rollerskate boots with red decals.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
5 years later, Korrina's hair is noticeably longer, and she wears it into a bun and a ring, resembling the Mega Evolution symbol. She first appears wearing a thick white full-body coat, before she takes it off and reveals her current outfit: a zipper crop top with a tall collar, double-layered shorts, and a bandana, all of which are colored in various hues of yellow, green, blue, and purple. Her bandana has the Mega Evolution sigil printed on it. Korrina also wears white arm-length gloves and white boots with yellow-green laces and soles. Her boots have rollerskate wheels embedded in the soles, though they are much less noticeable than her previous appearance.

As part of her goal to master Mega Evolution, Korrina carries many [[Mega Stone]]s on her person, embedding them in bandolier-like straps that wrap around her torso and waist. Like her Pokémon X and Y appearance, Korrina still embeds her Key Stone on the back of her left glove.

===History===
==== Pokémon X and Y ====
[[File:Korrina Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Korrina about to battle the player]]
[[File:Korrina Tower of Mastery XY.png|thumb|250px|Korrina challenging the player at the Tower of Mastery]]
Korrina is a [[Gym Leader]] from [[Shalour City]]. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the {{badge|Rumble}}, along with {{TM|98|Power-Up Punch}}. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'' and an NPC at [[Café Action!]], she is a [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video]] star and often dresses up in costumes.

Korrina first appears on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when one of her Lucario comes up to the {{player}} while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's [[aura]], then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in [[Geosenge Town]], where she challenges the player to a battle with her two {{p|Lucario}}.

After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the [[Tower of Mastery]] with her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the [[Mega Ring]] against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.

After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the [[Battle Chateau]], Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for [[rematch]]es. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

:April: ''"Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She's cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costume-like clothing makes my heart go crazy! Lately, Korrina has been in the PR Video Studio! Following two years of planning and another year of shooting, her highly anticipated new PR Video is scheduled for release at the end of next year! Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''

So cute! The way she dresses up in costumes make my heart beat pit-a-pat! Her legs are so magnificent that her axe-kick move can shatter cave rocks into pieces! If I were her, I wouldn't need the HM.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
{{spoilers}}
Korrina is indirectly mentioned by [[AZ]] in a letter he wrote to the player after the credits of the game. In his letter, AZ revealed that prior to the game's events, Korrina had given away a Lucario to him in hopes that it might keep him safe. After AZ passes away, his Lucario and the letter are left in the player's room in [[Hotel Z]].

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
Korrina is called by [[Corbeau]] to [[Lumiose City]] to join [[Team MZ]] to help them solve the mysteries of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
Korrina and her Lucario appear in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. The other members of her team are [[Cynthia]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.

Korrina and her Lucario also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Korrina and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Korrina and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Korrina and her Lucario never use [[Holowear]].

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork (the normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used). This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[Eject Button]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Korrina debuted in ''[[PS556|Lucky Lucario Was Here]]''. She first appeared in [[Santalune City]] after being called there by [[Viola]]. As soon as she arrived, she helped {{adv|X}} defeat [[Celosia]], a [[Team Flare]] scientist, and retrieve a [[Kangaskhanite]] she stole. Later, Korrina gave {{adv|Tierno}} a pair of [[Roller Skates]] as a gift. Upon learning X received his [[Mega Ring]] without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.

In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'', Korrina returned to the [[Tower of Mastery]], where she demanded that [[Gurkinn]] explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina met [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on {{rt|9|Kalos}} to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by [[Malva]], while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. After a tough battle, Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} defeated Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the [[Key Stone]] in Korrina's Mega Glove.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to [[Shalour City]] to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.

'''Erika''' (Japanese: '''エリカ''' ''Erika'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Celadon City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Celadon Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}. She is a serene young woman who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She is always dressed in an elegant {{wp|Furisode|kimono}}, and seems to represent traditional Japanese beauty.

== Appearance ==
Erika is a young woman with short black hair and fair skin. She is often shown wearing a kimono, a hairband and other Japanese style clothing in many of her portrayals.

==== Pokemon Reb, Blue, Green and Yellow ====
Erika wears a blue hairband, a purple kimono, a blue hakama, white socks and black sandals with blue straps.

==== Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen ====
Erika wears a red hairband with a circle with a line on the center on it, a yellow kimono with blue squares with white Poke Ball patterns on it, a red hakama, white socks and black sandals.

==== Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver ====
Erika wears a yellow-orange kimono with Poke Ball and maple leaf patterns on the bottom, a red obi sash, a red hairband, white socks and beige sandals.

==== Pokemon Let's Go! Pikachu and Let's Go! Eevee ====
Erika wears a red hairband with a white flower with green leave symbol on it, a green kimono, a red hakama with its tie on the back have white and green flower patterns, white socks and beige sandals with green straps.

==In the core series games==
Erika's title is ''The Nature-Loving Princess''. She is ladylike, and a teacher of flower-arranging. She is a quiet girl, but she's well-known in Celadon City. Erika only collects Pokémon if she considers them attractive, though her definition of attractive seems to include varieties only a botanist could love. She also tends to doze off quite a bit, but will become inspired after a good match.

In addition to the Rainbow Badge, Erika gives out {{TM|21|Mega Drain}}, in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, she gives out {{TM|19|Giga Drain}}. In {{LGPE}}, the reward TM once again contains Mega Drain, but this time is [[TM53]].

She can be battled again in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after talking to her on Saturday or Sunday between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. She is found by [[Celadon City]]'s fountain. If she is called on Sunday morning, she will happily give a rematch at the Fighting Dojo.

Erika also appears in {{B2W2}}, taking part in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She can be faced in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament|Kanto Leaders]], [[Type Expert Tournament|Type Expert]], and [[World Leaders Tournament]]s.

[[File:Erika anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Erika in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
[[File:Child Erika and Gloom.png|thumb|left|220px|A young Erika]]
Erika’s love for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} all began when she was young with her {{p|Gloom}}. While wandering the streets of Celadon City, Erika was ambushed by a wild {{p|Grimer}}, but Gloom intervened and rescued its future Trainer from being attacked.

====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
Erika appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where she runs a perfumery in [[Celadon City]], which sells scents from essences extracted from her garden plants and her Pokémon. It also sells a special brand of perfume made from the essence of her favorite Pokémon, {{p|Gloom}}. {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} were enamored with the scents, but {{Ash}} insulted the perfume. In protest, Erika had him banned from her store and by extension the greenhouse, which also served as the location of the [[Celadon Gym]].

Later, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] were caught trying to steal perfume and were also banned from the Gym. Ash found them and untied them in exchange for help entering the Gym. Disguised as a girl named {{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}, with {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as Ashley's parents]], Ash signed up as a student at the Gym. While Erika was reading a fairytale to some Grass Pokémon, Pikachu noticed the eerily familiar Ashley and exposed Ash's disguise. Even so, Erika agreed to his request for a battle.

Erika sent out her {{p|Tangela}} against [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Ash quickly recalled Bulbasaur after it was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by a close-range {{m|Stun Spore}}. {{AP|Charmander}} then defeated Erika's {{p|Weepinbell}} before being overwhelmed by Gloom's scent. However, before the match could continue, it was interrupted when Team Rocket started a fire in the Gym as revenge for being thrown out. While Misty, Brock, and Erika's {{tc|Picnicker|Gym assistants}} worked together to douse the fire, Ash ran into the Gym and successfully rescued Gloom. Out of gratitude, Erika awarded the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash.

She reappeared in a flashback in the Japanese version of ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
Erika appeared in a flashback in the Japanese version of ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
Erika's silhouette appeared in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'' alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the [[narrator]] explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].

Erika reappeared in ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', where she was reunited with Ash. The Celadon Gym had been rebuilt since and Erika again thanked Ash for all his help. She hosted a [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]] class which Ash attended alongside [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]]. Erika’s class helped [[Goh's Pinsir]] and [[Chloe's Eevee]] improve their confidence.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Erika and Leafeon reappeared in a fantasy, alongside other Trainers Chloe and her Eevee met.

====Character====
Erika is kind-hearted and readily accepts students to teach them about being a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} and perfume manufacturing. However, she also possesses a temperamental side, particularly when her perfume is insulted.

She is confident and gracefully composed in {{pkmn|battle}}. Her key strategy to bring out the best in her Pokémon is empathy. She uses [[status move]]s like {{m|Stun Spore}} to overwhelm her opponent's Pokémon. She also used Gloom's stench to overcome [[Ash's Charmander]], a {{type|Fire}} with a type advantage against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

Though everyone else managed to escape, Gloom was trapped in the Gym and surrounded by flames. Ash rushed into the Gym and rescued Gloom. In gratitude for saving Gloom, Erika gave Ash the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Misty Erika Blaine Adventures.png|left|thumb|251x251px|Erika's (middle) current appearance in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
She debuted in ''[[PS019|Blame It on Eevee]]'', where she sent {{adv|Red}} out on a quest to capture an unusual [[Vee|Eevee]] that could [[Devolution|change at will between its three evolved forms]], due to being "modified" in a [[Team Rocket]] experiment. Erika threatened to kill Eevee by removing it from the healing machine Red had put it in; however, it turned out that she was just testing Red's character, and she then revealed her true alliance and saved the Eevee.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Erika then starts teaching at the [[Celadon University]], replacing a dangerous professor. In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', she goes to meet {{adv|Yellow}} after hearing about her from Misty, only to hear from one of her teammates that a Red look-alike has been spotted right outside of [[Celadon City]]. [[Pika]] races to him only to find out it was a disguise and the real Trainer, {{adv|Miles}}, was hired by the [[Elite Four]], who then beats her to the ground, threatens to take her life, and uses his {{p|Marowak}}'s {{m|Bonemerang}} laced with some of his {{p|Paras}}'s {{m|Spore}}s to disable Erika while Yellow chases him. She then figures out that to disguise himself as Red, he would've needed to encounter Red's scent in real life and has {{adv|Blaine}} call over for assistance.

She is next seen defending Celadon from [[Lorelei]] and her {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. She then realized that the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto were simply being stalled so [[Lance]] could carry out his real plan, and hoped that Yellow and Blaine had found out the same. She also realized that they were being targeted so the Elite Four could get their hands on the Gym Leader's [[Badge]]s, which one of the Shellder finally retrieved from her and Misty.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Erika is the supervisor of the Kanto Gym Leaders, meaning that she was automatically pitted against [[Pryce]], the Leader of the [[Johto]] Gym Leaders, in the exhibition tournament held at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. She lost that match and was later lured into the [[Magnet Train]] along with the other Gym Leaders to fight masked {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. She witnessed Misty's sudden burst of strength and gave her a flower brooch. Erika was on the front half of the train which later was about to crash into a dead end, but Red appeared out of nowhere to stop the train. Erika then lent Red her [[Pokégear]].

==== Character ====
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Erika is an elegant young princess who gives lectures at universities and practices archery. She is allied with the "good" [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]], and often assists [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] during crises.

Later, she appears in a performance on stage showing her {{p|Oddish}} in which it evolved into a {{p|Gloom}} and then into a {{p|Vileplume}}, which didn't please the judges.

===How I Became a Pokémon Card===
[[File:Allergicrocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Erika with [[Kaede]] in [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]]]
In [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], Erika appears in ''[[PW08|Erika and Kaede... and Dark Gloom]]''. She is a childhood friend of [[Kaede]], a [[Team Rocket]] operative with allergies to flowers. Kaede had an unfortunate reaction to a flower wreath Erika gave her at a party and ran off in shame. They met again later when Kaede invaded Erika's Gym on behalf of Team Rocket. Erika was overjoyed to see her old friend and seemed to disregard any and all ill plots.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===

Erika appeared as a silhouette in [[JBA5]] alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ErikaHospitalityTeamUp174.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Full Art]] by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, the card {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika|16}} allows each player to draw up to three cards. Another card, {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Kindness|103}}, demonstrates her kindness, depicting her as helping a {{p|Growlithe}} out of the rain. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika's Maids|109}} enables the player to trade two cards in a hand for two Pokémon in the deck, both with Erika in their names. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Charity|99}} is attached to the player's Active Pokémon, and if that Pokémon is not knocked out, the card returns to the owner's hand; it allows the player to reduce the damage their attacks inflict on the Defending Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika's Perfume|110}} allows the player to peek at the hand of the opponent and force them to summon any number of basic Pokémon from the hand to the Bench.

As in the animated series, she also appears to make fragrances, such as LeAF, depicted on Erika's perfume.

Erika has an {{TCG|Erika|eponymous}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}} in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. Its {{TCG|Tamamushi City Gym|Japanese counterpart}} is based on the Celadon Gym.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Erika|39}} was slated to be released as a {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}} of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Erika's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|自然を愛するお嬢様|Nature-loving Lady}}.
* Erika's {{game|Yellow}} sprite was altered from the original {{pkmn|games}}. The only other significant opponents to be changed were {{ga|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Misty]], based on their prominent {{pkmn|animated series}} counterparts.
** The change was made to correct an error with her kimono. In the original sprite, it is crossed right over left, a style reserved for the deceased at funerals; the updated sprite has it properly crossed left over right.
* In every {{pkmn|battle}} against Erika, at least one of her Pokémon knows a {{status|sleep}}-inducing move.
* Erika, along with [[Janine]], are the only [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s to give the {{player}} a TM upon their defeat in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* There were 1,153 episodes between Erika's [[EP026|first appearance]] and [[JN094|second appearance]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, which is the longest time between a particular [[human]] character's first and second physical appearances within the animated series.
* Erika's [[Generation III]] sprite is the only one of her sprites that does not have a {{i|Poké Ball}} in it.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Erika's {{p|Victreebel}} and {{p|Bellossom}} don't level up in her [[rematch]] team, both remaining at Level 56.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Erika's {{p|Gloom}} knows {{m|Petal Dance}} at level 32, but level 33 is the earliest that Gloom can learn that move in that generation.
* In Erika's HeartGold and SoulSilver artwork, the heart-shaped crest from the HeartGold logo can be seen in her hairband and obi.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Erika's hairband and obi are red in her official artwork, battle sprite, and VS sprite. However, in her overworld sprite, they are magenta instead.
* Erika is the only Kanto Gym Leader to have the same Japanese and English name, as the name Erika is common in both Japan and the western world.
** Also, Erika's [[Badge]], the Rainbow Badge, is the only Kanto Badge to have the same Japanese and English name.

'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}} who plays a major role in its post-game's side story. She is an orphaned young girl in [[Lumiose City]] who was found and taken care of by the detective [[Looker]].

In Pokémon X and Y, she is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), and '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss'').

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, she inherits the head role at her detective agency from Looker in Lumiose City and she is the only character in the game to have the Trainer class '''Detective''' (Japanese: '''探偵''' ''Detective'').

==Appearance==
In Pokemon X and Y, Emma is a young girl with tanned skin, blue eyes and black long hair that is split on the middle. Her attire consists of a blue sweater with a yellow M-shaped patch on her right hip, orange short skirt, black leggings and orange Mary Jane shoes.

As Essentia, she wears a bodysuit called Expansion Suit. The bodysuit is mostly black with the shoulder area being orange. She wears a black full-face helmet with the face part being covered by an orange visor. The visor have a glowing part that is in a shape of the E letter.

In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Emma is now older and her hair is cut into a bobcut. She now wears her Expansion Suit all the time with a beige trenchcoat over it. On the left side of her side is a yellow loop shaped hair ornament. The chest part of her Expansion Suit now have a Key Stone on it.

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Emma and Looker XY.png|left|250px|thumb|Looker offering Emma a place to stay]]
In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the [[Looker Bureau]] and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his [[Looker's Croagunk|only Pokémon]] died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually [[Lysandre Café]] and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for [[Xerosic]]'s invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.
[[File:Xerosic Essentia XY.png|250px|thumb|Xerosic controlling Essentia]]
The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the [[International Police]] and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.
{{endspoilers}}

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a [[rematch]] with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

=== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ===
Five years after Pokémon X and Y, Emma lives in [[Lumiose City]] and works as a detective. She is said to have inherited the head role at her detective agency in Lumiose, where the player assists her by tracking down missing Pokémon, locating lost items, and partaking in the occasional Pokémon battle. Her hair has been cut to a short bob, and she wears her Expansion Suit under a cropped trench coat. Her suit now has a [[Key Stone]] embedded in it.

[[File:Emma anime.png|thumb|250px|Emma in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Emma grew up in the streets of [[Lumiose City]] and never knew either of her parents. One day, she met a man named [[Looker]], who took her in and taught her how to read and write. Eventually, Looker left Lumiose City and allowed Emma to keep living in the building in which he owned. At some point, Emma met a young boy named [[Ult]] who, much like herself, lived in the streets of Lumiose City and she kindly decided to invite him to live with her, while also teaching him how to read and write, just as Looker had done for herself.

=====[[Episode: Mega Evolution]]=====
Emma first appeared in [[HZ113]], where she hosted Ult and his friend [[Roy]] at her home, cooking them a feast and kindly encouraging Roy to enjoy it as much as he can. After Ult left to challenge the [[Roy's Lucario|Yellow Blast]], Emma shared his past with Roy and asked him to become friends with Ult, noticing that he's never cared about anyone as much as he did currently, which Roy gladly complied.

In [[HZ114]], Emma said goodbye to Ult and Roy, during the farewell with Ult, Emma wished Ult a good trip and that he will always have a home with her, and that he is like family to her. With Roy, Emma thanked him for everything he did for Ult and then used Mimi to sense [[Captain Pikachu]]'s feelings for Roy and highlighted how much Roy was becoming like [[Friede]]. Some time later, Emma and Mimi found Roy's hat and placed it next to a picture of her with her Pokémon and Roy and Ult.
[[File:Emma and Ult.png|250px|thumb|Emma and Ult]]
====Character====
Emma is a good-natured young girl, allowing Ult to live with her and teaching him how to read and write, and finding his sharp-tongued demeanor quite amusing. She's also a good hostess, going to great lengths to make Roy feel welcomed at her home and even pushing herself a little too hard to serve him and Ult during dinner. Emma is also quite a klutz, almost dropping all of her plates (with the food still on) because of the heavy weight she was carrying. She's also quite forgetful, forgetting to mention to Roy that she dreamed of becoming a detective, so much so that her forgetful nature reminded [[Captain Pikachu]] of [[Friede]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cassius Grace Emma Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Emma in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Lumiose Gang Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp panel]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate with or control her.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}} at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out of the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move {{p|Xerneas}} to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained {{p|Gengar}}, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

Trevenant's known moves are {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.}}

During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.

Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}}. As it battled {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X had his [[Marisso]] smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde.

* In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Emma implies that her {{p|Malamar}} is the same one [[Xerosic]] gave her five years earlier,<ref>'''Emma:''' "I'll be using Pokémon that were given to me by a man who played an important role in my life. Malamar, everyone, let's go!" ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> although it is a lower level than its latest appearance in {{g|X and Y}}.
*Emma, [[Urbain]], [[Taunie]], and [[Korrina]] are the only non-player characters in the core series to have used multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon in a single battle.

'''Bewear''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キテルグマ''' ''Kiteruguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Stufful}} starting at [[level]] 27.

==Biology==
[[File:Bewear 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Bewear can snap trees in half with ease]]
Bewear is a black and pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a bipedal bear. Its legs and the front of its body are black, while its head, back, and tail are pink. Across the top of its head is a white band with two tufts of fur on each end. This white marking gives it the appearance of wearing a headband with decorative bear ears. It has a short, white muzzle with a triangular black nose and two small, black eyes. There are pink paw pads on its front paws consisting of the palm and three digital pads. The hind paws have three white digital pads on the front. It has a short tail with dark pink rings.

While Bewear may appear friendly, it is actually a very dangerous Pokémon — even considered to be the most dangerous Pokémon in [[Alola]]. It must never be approached carelessly, even if it is merely swinging its arms around in a friendly fashion, which is used as a warning. It shows affection with a fond embrace, but its hugs have incredible force. Trainers of this Pokémon must teach it how to restrain itself when showing affection.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180915002639mp_/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/bewear/Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Bewear] (Archived)</ref> Its hugs are powerful enough to shatter bones and have killed many Trainers. The reason Bewear hugs others is due to accepting that person as a friend. Bewear also uses its arms to subdue its prey before taking it back to its nest.

Bewear is capable of using amazing martial arts moves. Bewear is said to have learned them by observing Black Belts training in the woods. In [[Lental]], Bewear are known to hibernate during seasons when food is scarce. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Bewear on very rare occasions, is seen hugging a log while sleeping. The reason is due to it mistaking the log for a friend. However, these logs tend to be smashed to pieces accidentally due to Bewear's immense strength.

As depicted in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Bewear is highily intelligent and capable of preforming remarkable feats. Some of these feats are running fast on the ocean, build tools such as a wooden motorcycle, jumping very high in the air. Despite its size, Bewear can move very fast. It is very protective of its cub {{p|Stufful}}. Bewear also like sto eat [[Honey]] made by {{p|Combee}} and [[Berry|Berries]].

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Bewear and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Stufful}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Fluffy}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Bewear evolves from {{p|Stufful}}.

==Trivia==
* Bewear and its pre-evolution are the first Pokémon evolutionary line to make their [[Pokémon GO]] debut in a [[Community Day]].

===Origin===
Bewear seems to be based on a {{wp|red panda}} and a stuffed bear. It also has some similarities to a {{wp|mascot}} costume. It may also take inspiration from the use of {{wp|Animals in professional wrestling#Bears|wrestling bears}} in professional wrestling, as well as the {{wp|bear hug}}, a professional wrestling move used for submission. Bewear also looks like it's wearing an animal-ears headband.

====Name origin====
Bewear may be a combination of ''beware'', ''wear'', and ''bear''.

Kiteruguma may be a combination of 着てる ''kiteru'' (wearing), 着ぐるみ ''kigurumi'' (costume), and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

'''Dedenne''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デデンネ''' ''Dedenne'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:Pikachu and Dedenne.png|thumb|left|250px|Dedenne using its whiskers to communicate]]
Dedenne is a bipedal, orange, rodent-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a round body. It has round black ears with pale yellow interiors, black eyes, a tiny nose, and a prominent upper incisor with a slight point. On each cheek is a circular, dark orange electric sac with two black whiskers. The upper whiskers have branches and resemble antennae, while the lower whiskers are simple. There is a thick black stripe down its back and it has a pale yellow belly. It has stubby limbs with three digits on each paw and a long, thin black tail with a tuft of fur on the tip.

Dedenne's upper whiskers serve as antennae that can send and receive electrical waves. This allows it to communicate with others of its kind over great distances, sharing locations of food or electricity, and sense its surroundings. The simple, lower whiskers are organs that can fire electricity. However, Dedenne is small and its electricity-generating organ is under-developed, making it unable to generate a lot of electricity on its own. It absorbs electricity from other electric Pokémon, or from homes and buildings by plugging its tail into outlets; Dedenne are known to live near humans due to this behavior. When it is low on charge, it curls up and sleeps. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Dedenne will occasionally fall asleep while sucking its tail. It is believed that Dedenne does this to how happy it feels from absorbing all that electricity.

==Trivia==
* Dedenne is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 431.

===Origin===
Dedenne seems to be based on a {{wp|Mongolian gerbil|gerbil}}, a {{wp|Japanese dormouse}}, or a {{wp|hamster}}, combined with a {{wp|television antenna}}. Its Fairy type may reference the French version of the {{wp|tooth fairy}} (''La Petite Souris''; i.e. {{wp|The Little Mouse}}), which is described as a small mouse that exchanges baby teeth for coins.

====Name origin====
Dedenne may be a combination of 電気 ''denki'' (electricity) and ''antenne'' (French for antenna).

'''Pelipper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペリッパー''' ''Pelipper'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Wingull}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
Pelipper is a {{wp|pelican}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose head and bill make up the majority of its body. It has white feathers with a short, blue crest on top of its head. There are three blue digits on each of its wide wings, and it has blue feet with three webbed digits. Each eye is made of two black semicircles with a horizontal white line between them. Its large yellow bill appears to extend along its underside.

Inside Pelipper's bill is a throat pouch that it uses to carry {{pkmn|Egg}}s and small Pokémon such as its own young and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, and is large enough to fit a small child in. Due to this, Pelipper is often compared to a courier or a messenger. Skimming across the top of waves, it scoops food from the sea and swallows it in one gulp. It can swallow up to 30 {{p|Wishiwashi}} in one go, and loves to eat abandoned {{p|Luvdisc}} that are too despondent to be wary near the sea surface. It builds its nest on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|steep cliffs facing the sea}}. Young male Pelipper are in charge of gathering food and bringing it back to others at its nest. Pelipper rests its wings while floating in the ocean.

===Evolution===
Pelipper evolves from {{p|Wingull}}.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Pelipper perches in the Sapphire Field and will stand upright for a while if the ball hits the button in front of it. During this time, Pelipper will swallow the ball in its beak if the ball goes into the coin loop. It will then either drop the ball over the {{p|Seedot}} bumpers or, if the button was flashing, send the {{player}} to the {{p|Sealeo}} Bonus Field.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: The post office in [[Pokémon Square]] is run by a group of Pelipper. The Pelipper can also be seen delivering the mail.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]: A Pelipper awaits on [[Pelipper Island]] to take the player's team to a [[dungeon]] to complete a rescue mission received through [[Wonder Mail|SOS Mail]], or go on an adventure while awaiting rescue.
*{{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Pelipper is {{ra|Cameron}}'s partner Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Team Rocket Pelipper.png|thumb|250px|Pelipper in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Pelipper (Team Rocket)]]====
Starting in ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', a Pelipper owned by [[Team Rocket]] delivers the [[Rocket Prize Master]] to the Team Rocket trio. It was used in battle by [[James]] in ''[[JN049|To Train, or Not to Train!]]''.

====Other====
In ''[[AG010|You Said a Mouthful!]]'', {{OBP|Anthony|AG010}} used a Pelipper to challenge other Trainers to battle in an unofficial [[Gym]]. Anthony was exposed as a cheater because he stuffed several {{i|Poké Ball}}s containing smaller Pokémon into Pelipper's bill.

In ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]'', [[Georgio]] used a Pelipper to send a letter to {{an|Misty}} and chase [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', [[Winona]] used a Pelipper against {{Ash}} during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with her. It had a unique way handling its weakness to {{t|Electric}} attacks, with Winona having it strike the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}} and pass the electricity harmlessly into it. Despite this clever tactic, it was defeated by Pikachu, who was knocked out at the same time.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', [[Juan]]'s Pelipper was used in the [[Sootopolis City]] Water Exhibit. It and Juan's other Pokémon were captured by {{TRT}}, but they all worked together to escape.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'', a Pelipper was a mail deliverer. It reappeared in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

In the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|Flying in the Air}}'', a Pelipper was among the immense {{type|Flying}} Pokémon summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to create wind for Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}, but their combined {{m|Gust}} was too much for them and sent them blasting off.

In ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', Ash rode a [[Poké Ride]] Pelipper to join {{an|Kiawe}} and his Ride {{p|Charizard}}.

===Minor appearances===
Pelipper debuted in ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'', where it was seen flying above the ship that took {{Ash}} to [[Hoenn]].

In ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', a Pelipper competed in the [[Crossgate PokéRinger]].

In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', a Pelipper was featured in the [[Fortree City]] Feather Festival.

Multiple Pelipper appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Pelipper competed in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the [[Wallace Cup]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Company Icon Pelipper Couriers.png|thumb|150px|Icon for Pelipper Couriers]]
* Pelipper shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ducklett}}. They are both known as the Water Bird Pokémon.
* The company [[Poké Job|Pelipper Couriers]] is named after Pelipper, and its logo depicts a stylized Pelipper.

* Pelipper is tied with {{p|Gyarados}} as the most common Pokémon found amongst [[Gym Leader]]s, being used by seven of them.
** Coincidentally, both are [[Water (type)|Water]] and [[Flying (type)|Flying]]-types.

* Pelipper and {{p|Mudkip}} were featured in a music video as part of the Project Voltage collaboration with {{wp|Crypton Future Media}}. In the video, Mudkip soars the skies in Pelipper's beak, wondering about their approaching evolution.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwBImZgRnVU きみとそらをとぶ　/ feat. 初音ミク & 巡音ルカ]

====Origin====

Pelipper seems to be based on a {{wp|pelican}}, which are known for their large beaks and {{wp|gular skin|throat pouches}} used to scoop up prey. It also resembles a small {{wp|fishing vessel}} due to its body shape and its habit of floating on ocean waves and transporting small Pokémon in its beak. Its curved beak resembles the {{wp|hull (watercraft)|boat hull}}, its head resembles the {{wp|cabin (ship)|deckhouse}}, and its eyes resemble doors with windows.

====Name origin====
Pelipper may be a combination of ''{{wp|pelican}}'' and ''{{wp|sea captain#Skipper|skipper}}'' (boat captain), ''{{wp|flipper (anatomy)|flipper}}'', or possibly ''{{wp|propeller}}'' (device used for propulsion by both boats and planes). It may also involve ''lip'', referring to its large beak, or ''{{wp|clipper}}'', a type of boat.

'''Dudunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノココッチ''' ''Nokokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dunsparce}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

Dudunsparce has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Two-Segment Form''' and '''Three-Segment Form'''. When Dunsparce evolves, it has a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Inflated Dudunsparce.png|thumb|left|250px|Three-Segment Dudunsparce with an inflated first segment and deflated third segment]]
Dudunsparce is a serpentine Pokémon that looks nearly identical to its pre-evolution, {{p|Dunsparce}}. It has the same yellow body with a blue underside and blue and cream stripes on its back. It sports three "prongs" on its blue chin and its eyes are now partially opened up, revealing its two pupiless white colored scleras. It has a dark blue spiral pattern on the underside of its first body segment, and its tail has a blue "cap" on it.

The most notable change Dudunsparce has compared to its pre-evolution is that its body is longer, having gained segments that are similar to Dunsparce's original body. Two known variations are known to exist: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce. According to a study, Dudunsparce's number of segments is determined by its genes. Each segment has its own pair of wings and back pattern. Two-Segment Form Dudunsparce have two body segments, with two blue stripes and a pair of two-feathered wings on the first body segment, and one blue stripe and a pair of one-feathered wings on the second. Some Dudunsparce have the Three-Segment Form instead, which has an additional body segment after the head; this segment has three blue stripes and a pair of three-feathered wings.

Dudunsparce makes its nest, which can reach over six miles (10 km) long, by using its hard tail to bore holes into bedrock deep underground. It drives enemies out of its nest by inhaling air with its long, narrow lungs — enough to greatly inflate its first body segment — and then releasing it in an intense blast. However, it is also known to be gentle, and will carry Pokémon wandering into its nest on its back and guide them outside.

Dudunsparce and its pre-evolved form are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

===Form data===
Dudunsparce has two non-interchangeable forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. Aside from weight and height differences, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic. The form {{p|Dunsparce}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce (including those encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596550660241039360 Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter]</ref> Despite being visually different, these two forms share the same menu sprite (except in {{g|HOME}}).

Since [[Nature]]s were determined via [[personality value]] in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to [[Generation VI]]), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the [[Ability]] {{a|Serene Grace}} that is [[transfer]]red from Generations III or IV will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same [[generation]]s with other Natures or the Ability {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form.

===Major appearances===
{{form|Dudunsparce|Two-Segment Form}} Dudunsparce debuted in [[HZ059]], under the ownership of [[Larry]]. He used it in his {{Tera}}stal battle against [[Dot]] where it battled her {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Dudunsparce (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Normal-type Pokémon.
* Dudunsparce's [[cry]] is composed from Dunsparce's cry, pitched down and with a portion of it repeated multiple times.

===Origin===
Like its pre-evolution, Dudunsparce seems to be based primarily on the {{wp|Tsuchinoko}} (aka バチヘビ ''bachi hebi'' or bee snake, hence Dudunsparce's bee-like features), as well as the Nozuchi, a large caterpillar-like creature sometimes claimed to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko. It may draw inspiration from {{wp|Typhlopidae|blind snakes}}, {{wp|rattlesnake|rattlesnakes}}, and {{wp|Amphiptere}} or {{wp|flying snakes}}, as well as snake-mimicking {{wp|Sphingidae|sphinx moth caterpillars}} and gourd sake bottles.

The appearance of Dudunsparce's segmentation is similar to the {{wp|ultrabithorax}} genetic mutation, observed in the {{wp|Drosophila melanogaster|fruit fly}}. The mutation essentially results in the development of a second thorax directly behind the first, complete with its own extra set of wings.

====Name origin====
Dudunsparce may be derived from a partial repetition of ''{{p|Dunsparce}}'', in reference to the former's multi-segmented appearance as well as having an appearance nearly identical to its pre-evolution. It may also be a combination of ''double'' or ''dud'' (possibly referencing its pre-evolution's almost-useless wings and tendency to remain motionless and inactive, or Dudunsparce's aforementioned relative lack of visual changes from its pre-evolution) and ''Dunsparce''.

Nokokocchi may be derived from a partial repetition of ノコッチ ''Nokocchi'' (Dunsparce), for the same reasons mentioned above.

'''Gimmighoul''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コレクレー''' ''Collecurei'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gholdengo}} when [[level]]ed up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. After the evolution, the Gimmighoul Coins disappear. Gimmighoul's evolution cannot be canceled with the B button.

Gimmighoul has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Chest Form''' and '''Roaming Form'''. Only Chest Form Gimmighoul can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and {{pkmn2|caught}}, while Roaming Form Gimmighoul will flee when interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins. Roaming Form can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Transporter]].

==Biology==
[[File:Gimmighoul closed chest anime.png|250px|thumb|left|Chest Form Gimmighoul's closed chest]]
Gimmighoul is a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes present around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes. It has a pair of thin black antennae and a tail, which are bent near the base and tipped with small gold circles.

Gimmighoul are usually found in ancient [[Paldea]]n buildings, such as watchtowers and fort ruins, and even secluded islands. Its antennae vibrate when detecting something it deems notable, pointing at it. When Gimmighoul gathers 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s, it evolves into {{p|Gholdengo}}.

=== Forms===
Gimmighoul has two separate forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. The two Forms are virtually identical to each other, with the only differences being their habits and personalities.

;Chest Form
Chest Form Gimmighoul hides inside a red chest, decorated with black and golden accents and a silver buckle with an ornate oval pattern, resembling the number 1,000 when viewed from the side. The chest it resides in is full of the [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] that it collects.

Chest Form Gimmighoul was born inside a chest 1,500 years ago. [[Jacq]] is the one who discovered the Chest Form and coined its name. Its treasure chest provides defense but makes it hard for it to move due to the its weight. Its disguise and low movement speed cause it to be commonly mistaken for an antique and get left behind or taken away. When Chest Form Gimmighoul senses an approaching person or Pokémon, it uses ghost energy to control its target and force them to collect coins for its chest. It tends to hide in less frequented places such as warehouses and shop corners to ambush people and Pokémon while pretending to be an old treasure chest. Its control has notable persistence<ref name="SVsite">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gimmighoul/ Gimmighoul — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>; one old tale tells of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to gather 999 coins to fill its chest<ref name="GimmighoulYT" />. It is also known to drain the life out of anyone who attempts to steal its coins.

;Roaming Form
Roaming Form Gimmighoul, unlike its counterpart, doesn't hide in a chest and instead carries an [[Gimmighoul Coin|ancient coin]] on its back, being held by its tail. Since it lacks a chest, it is among the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] of all Pokémon.

Roaming Form Gimmighoul was born from passion that seeped into a coin. [[Professor Willow]] is the one who discovered the Roaming Form and coined its name. It is extremely timid, running away and dropping its coin as soon as anyone approaches.<ref name="SVsite" /> It does not manipulate people and Pokémon to give it coins like its Chest Form counterpart; instead, it is able to gather coins by itself.<ref name="GimmighoulYT" /> Despite being found in [[Paldea]], no one has ever been able to capture this form of Gimmighoul. It constantly wanders, believed to be searching for the chest it used to live in. For sustenance, it drains the life force of humans who try to steal its coin. This form of Gimmighoul has also been seen appearing where Professor Willow lives in, where it tags along near Trainers who pick up Gimmighoul Coins.<ref name="SVsite" /> Gimmighoul has also been observed being lured over through the [[Coin Bag]] and [[Golden Lure Module]]s.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon_go_gimmighoul/</ref>

===Form data===
Gimmighoul has two non-interchangeable forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. Both can be found in [[Paldea]]'s overworld, but only Chest Form can be {{pkmn|battle}}d and [[catching|caught]], while Roaming Form will flee upon being interacted with, leaving behind Gimmighoul Coins, which are necessary for Gimmighoul to evolve. Roaming Form can only be obtained by [[transfer]]ring it from {{g|GO}} via the [[GO Transporter]].

The forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with Chest Form having {{a|Rattled}} and Roaming Form having {{a|Run Away}}, as well as their [[base stats]], with Chest Form having higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but lower {{stat|Speed}} compared to Roaming Form.

==Trivia ==
*Gimmighoul's Chest Form was named by [[Jacq]], while its Roaming Form was named by [[Professor Willow]].<ref name="GimmighoulYT">"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nzi0S3NGzg Where are these mysterious coins coming from? 🤔 | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>
*Both forms of Gimmighoul are tied with {{p|Yamask}} and {{p|Litwick}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
*Chest Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
*Roaming Form Gimmighoul has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
*Roaming Form Gimmighoul is tied with {{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Poltchageist}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Ghost-type Pokémon, and tied with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}} as the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] Ghost-type Pokémon.
*Gimmighoul is the only Pokémon in {{g|GO}} that evolves without {{OBP|Candy|GO}}, even if it is not [[trade (GO)|traded]].
*Gimmighoul is heavily associated with the number 999:
**Its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] is #0999.
**It evolves when leveled up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s.
**It was first teased through a website with a counter that periodically counted to 999.
**A promotional video about Gimmighoul tells the tale of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to fill its chest with 999 coins.<ref name="GimmighoulYT" />
*Due to its Ghost type, Roaming Form Gimmighoul's {{a|Run Away}} [[Ability]] is redundant unless its type changes, such as via [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]] or {{m|Soak}}.
*Gimmighoul only learns 2 moves by level-up, the fewest of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
*It is not possible to flee from a Chest Form Gimmighoul; even if the player's Pokémon is faster. Attempting to flee via pressing the "Run" option or use a Pokémon with the {{a|Run Away}} Ability will give the "You can't escape." dialogue. Using the [[Poké Doll]] will give the same dialogue that a player would receive if they try to use certain [[Key Item]]s such as the [[Shiny Charm]]. Using the moves {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}} will fail.

===Pre-release teasers===
*Chest Form Gimmighoul was teased through a special website<ref name="Chest">[http://web.archive.org/web/0/https://chest.pokemon.com/ Earliest archive of https://chest.pokemon.com/]</ref> that went live on November 5, 2022 at 13:00 UTC. It showcased Gimmighoul's chest and a counter, which periodically ticked upwards every few hours as it was slowly filled with coins. The counter eventually capped out at 999 on November 6, 2022 at 14:00 UTC, and the site became a redirect to a new page on the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} website.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/chest-research/ Investigations into a Newly Discovered Pokémon Are Under Way!]" — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website</ref>
*Roaming Form Gimmighoul was also teased on November 5, 2022, appearing in Pokémon GO after the {{p|Dratini}} [[Community Day|Community Day Classic]] event ended. Golden [[PokéStop]]s were added to the game, and spinning one would cause a Roaming Form Gimmighoul to show up and follow the player for a short time, although it could not be properly encountered or caught.
*Prior to the release of its teasers, an obscured Roaming Form Gimmighoul could be seen very briefly in the English version of the "Jump into a Paldean Journey" trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, posted on October 6, 2022.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0&t=573s Jump into a Paldean Journey | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> It does not appear in the Japanese version of this trailer.

===Origin===
As indicated by its English name, Gimmighoul may be based on the {{wp|ghoul}}, a mythical creature from Arabic folklore known for luring people into deserted places before preying on them, and stealing coins. The word ''ghoul'' (Arabic: غُول ''ghūl'') stems from the Arabic word غَالَ ''ghāla'', meaning "to seize". Gimmighoul's antennae and tail resemble {{wp|dowsing|dowsing rods}}, which are believed to be able to help people locate buried treasures. The association of a ghost with coins, as well as its eyes resembling coins, may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Charon's obol}}, where the deceased are buried with coins as a preparation for the afterlife. The coins were frequently placed in the mouth or on the eyes.

Gimmighoul's Chest Form may be based on the {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs, known for disguising itself as treasure chests. Its Roaming Form may be based on the Catalan folktale of {{wp|Patufet}}, a tiny child who carries a coin. It may also be based on the {{wp|toyol}} (also known as ''tuyul''), an infant-like spirit from Indonesian and Malay folklore invoked to steal riches from people. Gimmighoul's association with the number 999 may be a reference to {{wp|Fineness#Gold|999 fine gold}}, equivalent to 24 karat gold.

Considering its evolution, Gimmighoul's design may also draw inspiration from {{wp|El Dorado}}, a legend now believed to originate in Spanish conception of {{wp|Muisca}} rituals performed in pre-colonial {{wp|Colombia}}. Its laminated body shape resembles {{wp|tunjo}}s, Muisca figurines made of molded gold in the shape of divine humans or animals. Its Ghost type could be based on the fact that tunjos are commonly found in burial places and places of worship.

====Name origin====
Gimmighoul may be a combination of ''gimme'' (informal pronunciation of "give me"), ''gimmick'', ''mimic'', and ''ghoul''. Altogether, it sounds like the phrase "Give me gold."

Collecurei may be a combination of ''collect'', 霊 ''rei'' (spirit), and a pun on the phrase これくれ ''kore kure'' ("Give me this").

==Blurb==


Team Rocket is increasingly weary of Morpeko constantly eating all of their food, and when the hunger becomes too much for them to endure, James agrees to lead Morpeko up into the mountains and leave it there alone. But, as usual, Morpeko will have none of it! After numerous failed attempts to try and get Goh to catch the ever-hungry Pokémon—including an impromptu eating contest rematch between Greedent and Morpeko—Team Rocket successfully ditches Morpeko. But when James hears Morpeko calling, his bighearted, empathetic nature compels him to catch Morpeko himself, making it the newest member of Team Rocket…and the hungriest, too!

==Plot==
In their secret base, {{TRT}} is dismayed to find {{p|Morpeko}} having eaten all of their food yet again, even breaking into a safe to get the snacks [[James]] had hidden in it. {{MTR}} suggests they should {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it to make it obey them, but [[Jessie]] rejects the idea and instead declares that they'll release it back into the wild.

James is chosen to carry out this task, but as he and Morpeko are walking away from the city together, he starts feeling uncomfortable with the idea, especially when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Morpeko|Full Belly Mode}} Morpeko actually shares some of its delicious seeds with him. He tries to lose it, but Morpeko keeps following him. Eventually, they wind up back in [[Vermilion City]], where Morpeko finally runs out of seeds and {{a|Hunger Switch|turns into its Hangry Mode}} as a result. James quickly rushes to a nearby food stall and buys everything they have. While Morpeko is eating, James runs away, and by the time Morpeko finishes the food and changes back into its Full Belly Mode, James is long gone. However, Morpeko had unintentionally left behind a trail of seeds, which it finds and follows back to Team Rocket's secret base. When the trio returns there with bagfuls of food, they're shocked to see Morpeko in its Hangry Mode, who swipes the bags from them before using {{m|Aura Wheel}} to send them blasting off.

The next day, while Team Rocket is out on a shopping trip for more food, with Morpeko right behind them, they notice {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] nearby. Seeing Goh catching himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Raticate}}, the trio gets the idea of having Goh catch Morpeko to stop it from troubling them anymore. They try various tactics to make this happen, like placing Morpeko right in the [[twerp]]s' path or having Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] herself as a fortune teller to point them towards it, but each plan fails for one reason or another. While the trio laments their failures at a park, Morpeko notices a [[Pokémon food]] delivery van nearby and sneaks into it. James tries to tell the car to stop, but Jessie says that this method works too and simply waves after the car. Inside the van, Morpeko has eaten its fill and falls asleep, falling into one of the delivery boxes as the car drives along.

The box containing Morpeko winds up at the [[Cerise Laboratory]], with Ash and Goh discovering it when they prepare to feed their Pokémon. Almost as soon as Morpeko wakes up, it turns into its Hangry Mode and starts devouring food from the boxes. [[Goh's Greedent]] also starts doing the same, and the two gluttonous Pokémon begin a fierce competition for food, with Morpeko even trying to rob food from Greedent's stash. The situation is resolved when [[Goh's Raichu]] starts bringing copious amounts of {{Berries}} for both of them to eat. Goh tries to catch Morpeko while it's distracted, but it immediately pops out of the {{i|Poké Ball}} and resumes eating without missing a beat. Goh is dismayed at having lost to Morpeko's appetite, but Ash tells him he could try catching it again later once it's calmed down. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is planning their next heist, intending to steal lots of Pokémon at the local shopping mall, but James keeps getting distracted by his worry about Morpeko's condition.

The next day, Ash and Goh head out again, not noticing Full Belly Mode Morpeko following them. When they come close to the shopping mall, they hear commotion and head inside to find Team Rocket using a big vacuum to steal loads of Pokémon. The trio boasts that they've eaten their fill for the first time in ages and are feeling great. While Ash and Goh prepare to confront the trio, Morpeko notices the cart of food the trio has bought. Jessie and James call down the [[Rocket Prize Master]], but the Pokémon they get, a {{p|Natu}} and a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, seem underwhelming to them. During the ensuing {{pkmn|battle}}, Natu gets hit by {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}'s {{m|Pyro Ball}} and is sent flying into Morpeko, who had just been about to dig into the contents of the food cart. As Team Rocket notices Morpeko, it turns into its Hangry Mode, and, enraged by its meal being interrupted, uses {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, which deals {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]] on both {{AP|Pikachu}} and Cinderace. Jessie is delighted to see such power on their side, but unfortunately, Morpeko next uses Aura Wheel on the trio and sends them blasting off again. The stolen Pokémon are freed, and Morpeko empties the food cart before walking away. Ash and Goh are left confused by what just happened, but their attention is quickly redirected elsewhere when they spot a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Pidgeotto}}. Goh quickly throws a Poké Ball at it, finally catching the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that's been eluding him for a while now.

Team Rocket has landed on a tree, hanging upside down from it, until they spot Morpeko nearby, calling out to them. Jessie and Meowth quickly hide and decide to let it pass by, but James, seeing how Morpeko came looking for them, climbs down and calls out to it. He then pulls out a Poké Ball and tosses it at the {{pkmn|category|Two-Sided Pokémon}}, catching it. He immediately lets {{TP|James|Morpeko}} back out and officially welcomes it to the team. As the trio prepares to head back, however, Morpeko's Hangry Mode is suddenly activated and it attacks the trio with Aura Wheel again, blasting them off once more.

'''Violet Lang''' (Japanese: '''バイオレット・ラング''' ''Violet Lang'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is a student at [[Uva Academy]].

==Character==
Calling himself [[Paldea]]'s "Prince of Speed," Violet aspires to be the fastest in the region. He is searching for [[Herba Mystica]] so he can help {{p|Miraidon}} increase its speed. Violet is enthusiastic about racing and is easily distracted whenever he assumes a race is about to begin.

Violet is well-intentioned and quite cheerful, often happy to try new things. He has a habit of accepting any request without hesitation, even agreeing to help [[Cassiopeia]] after they hacked [[Rotojī]]. However, Violet's pampered background and lack of proper socialization as a child has made him rather arrogant, sensitive, and overly dependent on others.

According to artist Satoshi Yamamoto, Violet was designed using his own customizable [[player character]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231009133706/https://twitter.com/satoshi_swalot/status/1711365261306343510</ref> At first, he used the {{ga|Florian|default hairstyle}}, but felt that it wouldn't be too distinguishable from [[Ortega]]. He showed the list of hairstyles in the game's strategy guide to members of his family, asking which one looked like a prince, and based Violet's design on their suggestions.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231009133714/https://twitter.com/satoshi_swalot/status/1711367199678751043</ref>

==History==
===Past===
Violet is heir to the prestigious Lang family. At the insistence of his parents, the butlers and maids serving the family always referred to Violet as "Prince", which led to him believing he was actually royalty. One butler that was especially close to Violet worried the boy's overly-pampered lifestyle would make it hard for him to integrate into regular society. The butler attempted to slowly convince Violet he wasn't actually a real prince, but passed away before he could accomplish this. To console their grieving son, Violet's parents commissioned a [[Rotom Phone]] containing an AI copy of the butler's personality onto it. This Rotom Phone was given the name [[Rotojī]] and a mustache to make it resemble its human counterpart.

Violet's parents later enrolled their son at Uva Academy in order to honor the butler's wishes. Shortly before attending school, Violet and Rotojī witnessed an injured {{p|Miraidon}} crash-landing on a beach near [[Cabo Poco]]. Violet went to check if Miraidon was alright, only for it to steal one of his [[sandwich]]es and begin following him around. Shortly afterward, Violet received a call from [[Professor Turo]], who informed him that Miraidon's condition could be cured if it was fed the [[Herba Mystica]]. At Turo's suggestion, Violet set out to find Turo's son [[Arven]], who had been doing research on the mysterious plants.

==={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}===
Violet debuted in [[PASV01]]. Shortly after arriving at Uva Academy, Violet and Rotojī began looking for Arven's whereabouts. Their search led to Violet crashing the school's opening ceremony and competing in a race against several teachers. All the commotion alerted Arven, who demanded to know how Violet came in contact with Miraidon. Violet ignored the question and instead dragged Arven along to assist in his quest to obtain the Herba Mystica.

In [[PASV02]], Violet and Arven traveled to [[Asado Desert]], home of {{p|Iron Treads}}, the Quaking Earth [[Titan Pokémon|Titan]]. Violet challenged Iron Treads to battle, but was easily defeated, allowing the Titan to flee. Recognizing that Iron Treads was too powerful at their current level, Violet and Arven decided to challenge the Titan again after they trained and caught more Pokémon. While battling wild Pokémon, Violet came across a pair of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s attempting to recruit a girl named [[Penny]] against her wishes. Violet used {{p|Fuecoco}} to defeat the Grunts and force them to retreat. Penny thanked Violet for helping her, only for him to react in confusion when she referred to him as "Prince" despite being a complete stranger.
[[File:Violet Party.png|220px|thumb|Violet and his Pokémon]]
In [[PASV04]], Penny explained that as a fellow Uva Academy student, she was present at the Treasure Hunt's opening ceremony. After Penny left, Rotojī was hacked by someone going by the name "[[Cassiopeia]]". The caller recruited Violet and Arven as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat each of Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. Days later, Violet and Arven arrived at the [[Segin Squad's Base]], where they were approached by [[Clavell]]. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to join Operation Starfall as well, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through his disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along.

In [[PASV05]], Violet and Arven battled through waves of Grunts while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. Once the Grunts were defeated, their boss [[Giacomo]] stepped out to face Violet. Using his DJ skills, Giacomo tricked Violet and his Pokémon into unconsciously following the beat of his background music, throwing their movements off. Once Violet saw through Giacomo's strategy, he immediately launched a counterattack and emerged victorious using a [[Tera Orb]] he received from Clavell. Accepting his defeat, Giacomo stepped down as a boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.

Later, at [[South Province (Area Three)]], Violet and Arven encountered {{p|Klawf}}, the Stony Cliff Titan. Despite their best efforts, the Titan kept dodging their Pokémon's attacks by using the area's terrain to its advantage. Realizing that a higher location would be the best way to find Klawf's whereabouts, Violet had Arven climb up the nearest watchtower. Once he reached the top, Arven found [[Nemona]], who desperately begged for an opportunity to also take on a Titan. Together, Arven and Nemona kept track of Klawf's movements, allowing them to launch a pincer attack and lead Klawf into the path of Violet's next attack, driving it off. With Klawf defeated, Arven used the [[Sweet Herba Mystica]] it was guarding to make sandwiches for everyone to enjoy. The sandwich successfully restored some of Miraidon's strength, giving it the ability to dash, much to Violet's delight.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

2024-06-28T02:16:12Z

IceThePokemonTrainer: /* Trivia */

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''}}
{{search|sixth [[series]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}|its eponymous first season|S20}} ''For the series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], see [[Pokémon Trading Card Game#Sun & Moon Series|Pokémon Trading Card Game → Sun & Moon Series]]. For other uses, see [[Sun & Moon]].''
----
[[File:Season 20 logo.png|thumb|English logo]]
[[File:SM series logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon'']]
'''''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　サン{{tt|＆|アンド}}ムーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon'') is the sixth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. It ran from November 17, 2016 to November 3, 2019 in Japan and from May 12, 2017 to March 7, 2020 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in the United States on December 5, 2016.

In this series, [[Ash Ketchum]] travels to the tropical [[region]] of [[Alola]], accompanied by his partner {{AP|Pikachu}} and wearing a new set of [[List of clothing (anime)|clothes]]. Unlike in the five previous series, however, Ash doesn't travel through the region. Instead, he becomes a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], where he meets his new {{ashfr|classmates}} {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Kiawe}}. After receiving a [[Z-Ring]] from the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} [[guardian deities|guardian deity]] {{p|Tapu Koko}}, Ash decides to take on the Alolan [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and master various [[Z-Move]]s. Later on in the series, the teacher of Ash's class, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, establishes the [[Alola League]], which the class decides to attend, with the title of Alola's first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}} awaiting whoever comes out on top. ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' is notable for not all of Ash's friends being present in every episode. Also, characters are usually seen keeping their Pokémon [[Walking Pokémon|out of their Poké Balls]] in this series.

A new art style is implemented for the third series in a row, this time more drastically than the series that preceded it. With this new style, characters are drawn with a much softer, more rounded style. In addition, the series has a larger focus on humor, with exaggerated visual gags and slapstick being far more common compared to other series. Despite this, ''Sun & Moon'' also took a more mature approach to storytelling on several occasions. The subject of [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]] was dealt with directly in multiple episodes, with some Pokémon being seen dying, as well as showing a main character dealing with the death of [[Mallow's mother|a parent]] (as opposed to the usual instance of absent parents almost never being mentioned). The show also had a large reduction in the amount of "[[Character of the day|characters of the day]]", with many apparent such characters reappearing commonly after their debuts.

Episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''SM''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episodes|list of ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
New adventure for Ash and Pikachu has started!

This new adventure takes place in the Alola region, full of nature. What awaits Ash and Pikachu in Alola, surrounded by an endless expanse of blue sky and seas? New Pokémon, new frinds, and new experiences… An adventure filled with aell sorts of new things begins at last! Ash also has a new look. Stay tuned for new adventures!

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

IceThePokemonTrainer: /* Trivia */

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''}}
{{search|sixth [[series]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}|its eponymous first season|S20}} ''For the series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], see [[Pokémon Trading Card Game#Sun & Moon Series|Pokémon Trading Card Game → Sun & Moon Series]]. For other uses, see [[Sun & Moon]].''
----
[[File:Season 20 logo.png|thumb|English logo]]
[[File:SM series logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon'']]
'''''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　サン{{tt|＆|アンド}}ムーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon'') is the sixth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. It ran from November 17, 2016 to November 3, 2019 in Japan and from May 12, 2017 to March 7, 2020 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in the United States on December 5, 2016.

In this series, [[Ash Ketchum]] travels to the tropical [[region]] of [[Alola]], accompanied by his partner {{AP|Pikachu}} and wearing a new set of [[List of clothing (anime)|clothes]]. Unlike in the five previous series, however, Ash doesn't travel through the region. Instead, he becomes a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], where he meets his new {{ashfr|classmates}} {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Kiawe}}. After receiving a [[Z-Ring]] from the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} [[guardian deities|guardian deity]] {{p|Tapu Koko}}, Ash decides to take on the Alolan [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and master various [[Z-Move]]s. Later on in the series, the teacher of Ash's class, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, establishes the [[Alola League]], which the class decides to attend, with the title of Alola's first-ever {{pkmn|Champion}} awaiting whoever comes out on top. ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' is notable for not all of Ash's friends being present in every episode. Also, characters are usually seen keeping their Pokémon [[Walking Pokémon|out of their Poké Balls]] in this series.

A new art style is implemented for the third series in a row, this time more drastically than the series that preceded it. With this new style, characters are drawn with a much softer, more rounded style. In addition, the series has a larger focus on humor, with exaggerated visual gags and slapstick being far more common compared to other series. Despite this, ''Sun & Moon'' also took a more mature approach to storytelling on several occasions. The subject of [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]] was dealt with directly in multiple episodes, with some Pokémon being seen dying, as well as showing a main character dealing with the death of [[Mallow's mother|a parent]] (as opposed to the usual instance of absent parents almost never being mentioned). The show also had a large reduction in the amount of "[[Character of the day|characters of the day]]", with many apparent such characters reappearing commonly after their debuts.

Episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''SM''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episodes|list of ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
New adventure for Ash and Pikachu has started!

New Pokémon, new frinds, and new experiences… An adventure filled with aell sorts of new things begins at last! Ash also has a new look. Stay tuned for new adventures!

Let’s go! Full power! On a great adventure!!

'''Penny''' (Japanese: '''ボタン''' ''Botan'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

==In the core series games==
===Appearance===
Penny is a slender girl with fair skin, black eyes, and short hair. Her hair is uniquely configured, with the front half being red and the back half being blue. She wears a black hoodie with a Poké Ball logo on the center with yellow characters above it. She wears black shorts with a transparent skirt over it. She wears long grey socks with a red plus and blue minus pattern. Meanwhile, her feet are protected by calf-length black boots with gray toes and white soles. She also wears round glasses and supports a large Eevee-styled bag on her back.

===Character profile===

{{incomplete|section|needs=Include information on their role in their [[Bonds|Bond]] story as of the Ver. 3.0.0 update.}}
Penny is a student at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, and is in the same grade as the [[player character]]. She has a shy personality, and is often absent from class. She always has her fluffy {{p|Eevee}} backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the {{wp|Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Tyme]].

Penny is first seen in [[Mesagoza]], where the player witnesses her being harassed by {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs. The player then defeated the Grunts. Afterwards, for each squad boss except for the last one defeated, Penny appears as Cassiopeia's supply unit rep and talks to the player, giving them [[TM Material]]s, and being licked by {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} every time after the first.

{{spoilers}}
===★ Starfall Street ★===
Penny first witnesses the player defeat two {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs who were harassing her to join Team Star. During Operation Starfall, Penny appears as a part of the supply unit to reward the player with various [[TM Material]]s after they defeat a Team Star base.

After the player has defeated all five Team Star bosses, [[Cassiopeia]] reveals that she was Team Star's "big boss" and invites the player to meet at the academy's schoolyard after dark, where she reveals her identity as Penny. None of the other members of Team Star knew of her true identity because she never left her room during her time with them. She came up with the idea of Operation Starfall and recruited the player to make the Team Star Bosses stand down as she is afraid that her fellow bosses will be expelled from the academy because of their involvement in the team but is unable to forcibly disband the group herself. Penny challenges the player to a battle and asks [[Clavell|Clive]] to record the battle with his [[Rotom Phone]] for the squad bosses to view the outcome. After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.

A flashback after her defeat shows her last conversation (a year and a half prior) with the squad bosses, via a Rotom Phone call. The squad bosses were worried about Penny's well-being and her sudden desire to disband Team Star and take sole responsibility for her actions. She thanked the squad bosses for their kindness and company. Penny was then revealed to be outside the room the squad bosses were in during their conversation, and she bid them farewell and temporarily left for Galar, her original home region.

After the flashback, Penny thanks the player and Clive for successfully helping her during Operation Starfall. When asked by Clive why she couldn’t forcibly disband Team Star on her own, Penny explains that the strict code she and the squad bosses created stated that no member of Team Star had the right to order anyone around and that the squad bosses had to accept challenges and give away their Star Badges when defeated, hence forcing them to step down as squad bosses. When asked by Clive what the squad bosses mean to her, Penny wholeheartedly replies that they are her "greatest treasure".

Seemingly touched by Penny's story, Clive thanks her for her appraisal of the situation with Team Star. Clive proceeds to reveal that he, too, was under a false persona, and is actually the Academy's director, [[Clavell]], much to Penny's shock. Clavell explains that he disguised as Clive in order to talk to the Team Star members on equal terms, without them feeling the pressure of speaking to a faculty member such as the academy's director.

Clavell proceeds to call all the squad bosses ([[Giacomo]], [[Mela]], [[Atticus]], [[Ortega]], and [[Eri]]) out onto the schoolyard, much to Penny's surprise, and she emotionally recalls their names as they greet her with equal emotion. The squad bosses perform Team Star's signature ''hasta la vistar'' ★ pose and happily exclaim in unison: "''Hasta la vistar'', Cassiopeia! ★ And hello, Penny!"

Clavell apologises to Team Star for his unawareness of the bullying they suffered from, since he joined the academy as its director without witnessing any incidents of bullying. He declares that Team Star may continue to exist should its bosses want it to, but that they should be punished for breaking multiple school rules during their period of truancy. As punishment, Clavell assigns Penny and the squad bosses to manage the newly founded Star Training Centers (STCs) as staff members. Upon hearing this, the squad bosses marvel over Team Star not disbanding and being able to spend time with their "big boss" and close friend at the Academy and STCs.

Clavell dismisses Team Star's bosses and calls the player to his office to thank them for allowing him to help resolve Team Star's situation. Penny arrives shortly thereafter to apologise for illegally hacking the [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]]'s [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward the player and Clavell for helping her during Operation Starfall, and feels that she should be punished more heavily than the others. Clavell decides that he should consult [[Geeta]], the Paldea Pokémon League's chairwoman, on the matter, and dismisses the player from his office.

Penny calls the player via Rotom Phone the next time they exit the academy building and tells them to meet her in front of the school stairs, where she was first encountered. She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that instead of her actual name.

When the player finds Penny in front of the school stairs, she explains how the squad bosses and she came up with the ''hasta la vistar'' ★ catchphrase. She also explains that she won't be badly punished for hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system if she does some volunteer engineering for them, which she agreed to do. Finally, she thanks the player for helping her save Team Star from being wrongfully expelled from the academy and gives them {{TM|169|Draco Meteor}} as a reward. She explains that she wants to repay the player and would be willing to help with any requests they may have. She bids the player farewell with a ''hasta la vistar'' ★ and runs up the stairs, concluding the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline.

===The Way Home===
After all three main stories of the game have been completed, Penny goes to the [[Zero Gate]] with the player, [[Arven]], and [[Nemona]] to traverse [[Area Zero]] with them and help them reach the [[Zero Lab]] in The Way Home, the game's final story. She battles alongside the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner twice during this. After the door to the Zero Lab is opened, a group of [[Paradox Pokémon]] escape, which are chased down by Penny and Nemona. Later, Penny returns to the Zero Lab with Nemona and Arven and watches the player battle against and defeat [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} with their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}.

===Post-game===
{{incomplete|section|needs bond interactions and when the first one unlocks}}
While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]], she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, this time using [[Pokémon Trainer]] as her Trainer class instead of {{tc|Team Star}}. Additionally, the player can develop a [[bond]] with Penny, which will trigger an event added with [[The Indigo Disk]] update where the player can tutor [[Mela]], [[Atticus]], and [[Ortega]].

===Mochi Mayhem===
Following the events of the [[Indigo Disk]], Penny accompanies the player, Arven and Nemona to a trip to the land of [[Kitakami]]. She ends up helping the player and their friends in dealing with {{p|Pecharunt}}’s curse. However, Pecharunt shoots [[Mochi#Toxic Mochi|Toxic Mochi]] into the mouths of Penny and Arven and they face the player and [[Kieran]] in a [[Multi Battle]]. After Pecharunt is defeated by the player, she returns to normal and stays in Kitakami for a day or two before returning to Paldea.

===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====

=====First battle and Multi Battle partner=====
The first battle takes place at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

As a [[Multi Battle]] partner in [[Area Zero]], Penny uses this team against a hostile {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, and then against an escaping {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PennyScarletViolet252.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Penny]]
{{main|Penny (Scarlet & Violet 183)}}
'''Penny''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era).

'''Rika''' (Japanese: '''チリ''' ''Chili''<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/images/top/img_mv_48.png "Chili & Dooh"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=A description of her character and role with cited quotes Her settei referencing her design}}
===Appearance===
Rika is a young slender woman with red eyed and long green hair in a low ponytail and a long cowlick. For clothing, she wears a gray button-up shirt, a black necktie with a brown tip, black pants with suspenders, brown shoes and matching black gloves with Paldea League's logo. She wears silver triangle-shaped ear piercing and earrings and is shown wearing black square glasses when she is working as the receptionist of Paldea League.
===Character profile===
Rika is one of the Paldea Elite Four, working under [[Geeta]], and has a laid-back, tomboyish personality. She calls the player "kiddo" as a nickname. Aside from her duties in the Elite Four, she also serves as the receptionist for the Pokémon League, interviewing the player during the first part of the Champion Assessment. She is the first of the Elite Four to be faced. Later, after the player becomes a Champion, she observes their battle against [[Nemona]] in [[Mesagoza]].

The player must answer the interview questions correctly in the Champion Assessment in order to be able to challenge the Elite Four. Any incorrect answer results in the player being kicked out immediately, and the player must restart the interview from the beginning.

===The Indigo Disk===
Rika accompanies Geeta to [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]], where they reunite with the player. Rika angrily chastises them for having gone into Area Zero previously without permission, before Geeta asks her to calm down. Rika can eventually return to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be rebattled.

===Pokémon===
Rika will {{Tera}}stallize her {{p|Clodsire}} at the first opportunity.

Rika first appeared in [[HZ046]]. Rika first appeared when she was introduced by [[Nemona]] to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. During the brief meeting, Rika commented that she expected great things from Liko as [[Indigo Academy]]'s representative. Later, she watched Liko's battle against [[Ann]] and noticed great potential in her.

During the meeting with Liko, she cited the high level that Trainers from the [[Kanto]] [[region]] tend to be at and later when she saw Liko in battle, realizing the enormous potential Liko has as a Trainer.

'''Rika''' (Japanese: '''チリ''' ''Chili''<ref>[https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/images/top/img_mv_48.png "Chili & Dooh"] [https://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/pokemonscaleworld/ Pokémon Scale World] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=A description of her character and role with cited quotes An Appearance section Her settei referencing her design}}
===Appearance===
Rika is a young slender woman with red eyed anf long green hair in a low ponytail and a long cowlick. For clothing, she wears a gray button-up shirt, a black necktie with a brown tip, black pants with suspenders, brown shoes and matching black gloves with Paldea League's logo. She wears silver triangle-shaped ear piercing and earrings and is shown wearing black square glasses when she is working as the receptionist of Paldea League.
===Character profile===
Rika is one of the Paldea Elite Four, working under [[Geeta]], and has a laid-back, tomboyish personality. She calls the player "kiddo" as a nickname. Aside from her duties in the Elite Four, she also serves as the receptionist for the Pokémon League, interviewing the player during the first part of the Champion Assessment. She is the first of the Elite Four to be faced. Later, after the player becomes a Champion, she observes their battle against [[Nemona]] in [[Mesagoza]].

The player must answer the interview questions correctly in the Champion Assessment in order to be able to challenge the Elite Four. Any incorrect answer results in the player being kicked out immediately, and the player must restart the interview from the beginning.

===The Indigo Disk===
Rika accompanies Geeta to [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]], where they reunite with the player. Rika angrily chastises them for having gone into Area Zero previously without permission, before Geeta asks her to calm down. Rika can eventually return to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be rebattled.

===Pokémon===
Rika will {{Tera}}stallize her {{p|Clodsire}} at the first opportunity.

'''Miraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it is said to be a descendant of {{p|Cyclizar}} from the distant future<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/futuristic{{sup/9|V}} form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> or a version of it from a different timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref>. It has an ancient counterpart called {{p|Koraidon}}.

Miraidon has five different {{form|Form-like transformations|transformations}} it can change between as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations. Its forms include:
*'''Low-Power Mode''' when it has little power.
*'''Drive Mode''' when traveling on land.
*'''Aquatic Mode''' when traveling in water.
*'''Glide Mode''' when traveling in the skies.
*'''Ultimate Mode''' during battle and full strength.

Miraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Ultimate Mode. It is also known as the "Iron Serpent" (Japanese: '''テツノオロチ''' ''Tetsuno'orochi''). Along with {{p|Koraidon}}, it is considered part of the [[Paradox duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Miraidon attacks anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Miraidon shooting electricity from its jet engines]]
[[File:Miraidon tongue Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Miraidon's robotic tongue]]
Ultimate Mode Miraidon is a large robotic reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is violet in color, although its face, claws, abdomen, and tail are silver. Additionally, there are light blue accents on its shoulders and legs, the latter of which resemble jet engines when folded and allow it to float in the air. Its head has a dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}}, circular purple cheeks, two pairs of antennae, and black eyes. The eyes have a pixelated display; they usually show yellow-cyan pupils, although Miraidon can simulate blinking by changing the display pattern. Inside Miraidon's body is what appears to be purplish-yellow energy, with light blue streaks accenting it. This energy is mostly concentrated on its throat (forming a prominent circular growth), tail, and antennae (which can emit the energy in a manner similar to electricity). When it falls asleep, it turns itself off, causing the blue and yellow energy on its throat, tail and antennae to turn turn silver, similar to what happens in its Low-Power Mode.

While apparently accustomed to humans, Miraidon uses its power of insight and observation to carefully judge a person's character before it decides whether to join them or not. It has a calm and collected disposition, and it is very difficult for others to tell what it is thinking or feeling due to its robotic nature, with the only available hints presented in its eyes. In its Ultimate Mode, it keeps itself afloat to maintain an advantageous position that applies pressure to grounded opponents, and it anticipates their moves before striking at their weak points. It uses the electricity generated in its internal organs to charge its claws, fangs, and tail. One strike from its charged tail is said to knock out even the sturdiest foe.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/ Miraidon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website] </ref> It is even powerful enough to use its lightning to turn the land into ash. Its lightning can be shot from its mouth, neck, or jet engines. Miraidon can also fly up in the air, and [[Electro Drift (move)|race forward at ultrafast speeds, piercing its target with futuristic electricity]].

According to [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]], Miraidon is a future Pokémon related to {{p|Cyclizar}}. However, according to a [[Professor Turo|Turo]] brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}}, Miraidon is a counterpart of Cyclizar from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Miraidon were brought to the depths of [[Area Zero]] by a [[time machine]] built by Professor Turo ten years ago. However, unlike other [[Paradox Pokémon]], he was capable of only bringing two of them: {{ga|Koraidon|a quirky, friendly one}} and [[Professor Turo#Second battle|an modest, territorial one]]. Professor Turo coined Miraidon's name, but it was formerly known as the "'''Iron Serpent'''" in the [[Violet Book]] due to its metallic and serpent-like body. According to [[Arven]], Miraidon's Ultimate Mode is its true form.<ref>[[Arven]]:"''. The form {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} takes in battle... That's its true form."''({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref>

The rest of Miraidon's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown.

Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Hadron Engine}} as an [[Ability]].

;Transformations
Aside from Ultimate Mode, Miraidon has four other [[form]]s it can transform into depending on the situation.

Low-Power Mode Miraidon walks on all fours, with the jet engine-like legs unfolding. The antennae become light silver along with the throat. The eyes are light blue. The other glowing parts of its body become violet. Miraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.

Miraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Drive Mode Miraidon can generate the energy in its tail and throat and turn them into wheel-like rings, which allow it to accelerate. Drive Mode Miraidon is capable of driving up cliffs. Aquatic Mode Miraidon is similar in appearance to Drive Mode and propels itself using both its rings and the jet engines on its legs. Glide Mode Miraidon moves its antennae in order to expand an energy membrane, allowing it to glide through the sky.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Glide Mode Miraidon can switch between gliding or unlimited flight.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

===NPC appearances===
{{main|Miraidon (game)}}
*'''[[Pokémon Violet]]: [[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]]''' is a major character in the game.
*'''[[Pokémon Violet]]: [[Professor Turo#Second battle|Another Miraidon]]''', also known as '''the Guardian of Paradise''', is the secondary antagonist and a boss in the game. It was brought to the [[Pokémon world]] sometime after the first one through [[Professor Turo]]'s "[[time machine]]" and is shown to be far more aggressive and belligerent than it, which eventually caused both to became rivals.
**At some point in [[Area Zero]], both Miraidon got into a territorial battle where the first one was defeated, but saved just in time by Professor Turo, who sacrificed his life to save it, after that, it was forced to escape Area Zero, traumatized by what happened there and leaving the second Miraidon as the strongest Pokémon in Area Zero and making it its territory.
**In The Way Home, the second Miraidon appears to the player, [[Nemona]], [[Penny]], [[Arven]] and the first [[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]], only to attempt to start another battle to kick Miraidon out of its territory once again, however, the [[Zero Lab]]'s is opened and instead of attacking, it walks inside it, leaving the first Miraidon even more scared of it. The player and Miraidon go inside after defeating some [[Paradox Pokémon]] and inside, they meet [[Professor Sada|AI Turo]], who calls the second Miraidon back inside its [[Master Ball]].
**After the player defeats the controlled AI Turo to deactivate the time machine, the Paradise Protection Protocol is activated, locking all of the heroes' [[Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] as a last resort to defend the time machine, sending out the the Guardian of Paradise, who's defeated once and for all by the player's Miraidon after [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] into a [[Dragon (type)|Dragon]] [[Type]].
**Later on in the post-game, the player can find the now trainer-less Miraidon out of the Zero Lab and catch it, supposedly due to its Master Ball being out of reach.

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
{{main|Miraidon (game)}}
Miraidon debuted in [[PASV01]] as {{adv|Violet}}'s ride. In [[PASV02]], Violet revealed to [[Arven]] that he had encountered Miraidon as it crashed down on a beach near [[Cabo Poco]] and started following him after eating his [[sandwich]]. [[Professor Turo]] had then contacted him, informing him that Miraidon had previously been in his possession, and told Violet that its current depowered state could be remedied with the help of the [[Herba Mystica]], inspiring Violet to find them in order to unlock Miraidon's full potential.

==Trivia==
* Miraidon and {{p|Koraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
** Whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
*** To not have different names between languages.
** To each have their own unique Abilities.
* Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex and the only known future Paradox Pokémon to be taller than both its {{p|Cyclizar|present-day}} and {{p|Koraidon|ancient}} relatives.
** It is also the only future Paradox Pokémon not to have the word “Iron” in its name. However, its previous name according to the Violet Book is “Iron Serpent”.
* Miraidon has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
** Curiously, the forms are fully usable in battle when hacked into the game, albeit with various glitches and oddities.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's Ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
*** In its unused Pokédex entry, the Ride forms of Miraidon are smaller than its Ultimate Mode, at 9'2" / 2.7m tall.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
* The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of {{p|Koraidon}} in the same languages use [[wikipedia:Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese]] and [[wikipedia:Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean]] words respectively, showing tradition and the past.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Miraidon was able to learn {{m|Power Gem}} at level 49. After updating the game, it can only learn it via [[TM]].
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Miraidon can't learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Koraidon}}.
* Miraidon has a V on the back that may allude to the fact that it is the Mascot of [[Pokémon Violet]].

===Origin===
Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic serpentine dragon and various lizards, such as the {{wp|anole}} or the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Its robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s (such as a {{wp|sport bike}} and other super bikes designed with maneuverability in mind for city streets and highways), with its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} resembling a motorcycle windshield, its shoulders being similar to handlebars, its rear looking like the backrest of a vehicle seat, its throat and tail resembling wheels when active, and its legs resembling {{wp|jet engine|jet engines}} or {{wp|exhaust pipes}}. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by {{wp|transforming robots}}. Miraidon’s color scheme, along with the name of the game it debuts in, possibly stemmed from violet being on the opposite side of the visible spectrum of light from red (a prominent color associated with Pokémon Scarlet and Koraidon) as well as violet occasionally being associated with space (which is often considered the “final frontier,” tying to Miraidon’s hypothetical future motifs).

Given its snake-like body and its Electric type, it may take inspiration from {{wp|Sugaar}} in {{wp|Basque mythology}}. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightning.

====Name origin====
Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally ''iron serpent''.

Tetsuno'orochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).

Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of [[Professor Turo]] [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Miraidon's name.

While not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it is said to be an ancestor of {{p|Cyclizar}} from the ancient past<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/futuristic{{sup/9|V}} form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> or a version of it from a different timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref>. It has a future counterpart called {{p|Miraidon}}.

Koraidon has five different {{form|Form-like transformations|transformations}} it can change between as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations. Its forms include:
*'''Limited Build''' when it has little power.
*'''Sprinting Build''' when traveling swiftly on land.
*'''Swimming Build''' when traveling in the water.
*'''Gliding Build''' when traveling in the skies.
*'''Apex Build''' during battle and full strength.

Koraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Apex Build. It is also known as the "Winged King" (Japanese: '''ツバサノオウ''' ''Tsubasano'ou''). Along with {{p|Miraidon}}, it is considered part of the [[Paradox duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
Apex Build Koraidon is a large reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is scarlet in color, with white accents on its cheeks, abdomen, legs, and tail. Its head features a large plume and a pair of long, thin, twisted antennae; its rear has a similar, much larger plume. These plumes and antennae are white in color and blue-purple at the base. It has yellow eyes with brown pupils, webbed feet, and blue features on its elbows and shoulders, as well as blue frills running down its neck. On its chest is a large circular protrusion which resembles a rubber tire. Its texture and black coloration are similar to the base of its tail, and it can inflate or deflate as needed.

Koraidon is aware of its own impressive strength and derives confidence from this fact, never feeling threatened by its opponents. It is capricious and curious enough to sometimes play with humans, despite usually being cautious of them. While fighting in its Apex Build, Koraidon dominates its opponents using its immense strength and the many natural weapons available to it, including its tough jaws and fangs, sharp claws, and thick, powerful tail. Its legs are strong enough that Koraidon can leap over 65 feet into the air, using both its own body weight and the momentum of falling from such a height to unleash crushing kicks and brutal body slams.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/koraidon/ Koraidon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> It is even powerful enough to break the land with just its bare fists. Koraidon can also transform to fly up in the air, and [[Collision Course (move)|crash to the ground, causing a massive prehistoric explosion]] on its adversary.

According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Koraidon is an ancient Pokémon related to {{p|Cyclizar}}. However, according to a [[Professor Sada|Sada]] brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}}, Koraidon is a counterpart of Cyclizar from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Koraidon were brought to the depths of [[Area Zero]] by a [[time machine]] built by Professor Sada ten years ago. However, unlike other [[Paradox Pokémon]], she was capable of only bringing two of them: {{ga|Koraidon|a quirky, friendly one}} and [[Professor Sada#Second battle|an adamant, territorial one]]. Professor Sada coined Koraidon's name, but it was formerly known as the "'''Winged King'''" in the [[Scarlet Book]] due to its wings and crown of feathers. According to [[Arven]], Koraidon's Apex Build is its true form.<ref>[[Arven]]:"''. The form {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} takes in battle... That's its true form."''({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref>

The rest of Koraidon's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown.

Koraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Collision Course}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}} as an [[Ability]].

;Transformations
Aside from Apex Build, Koraidon has four other [[form]]s it can transform into depending on the situation.

Limited Build Koraidon walks on all fours. The head and rear plumes are closed and folded. The chest throat is pulled in, leaving out the rubber tire-like protrusion. The membrane on all four legs is not visible as the central fingers and toes are kept in close contact with each other. Koraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.

Koraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Sprinting Build Koraidon tucks in its tail and runs on all fours, moving at very fast speeds using its powerful legs. This form also allows Koraidon to climb cliffs. Swimming Build Koraidon can float in the water by turning its throat into a flotation device and using the membrane between its feet to swim. Gliding Build Koraidon can fly by unravelling its twisted tendrils into wings, allowing it to glide through the sky.<ref name="SVsite">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Gliding Build Koraidon can switch between gliding or unlimited flight.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

===NPC appearances===
{{main|Koraidon (game)}}
* '''[[Pokémon Scarlet]]: [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]]''' is a major character in the game.
*'''[[Pokémon Scarlet]]: [[Professor Sada#Second battle|Another Koraidon]]''', also known as '''the Guardian of Paradise''', is the secondary antagonist and a boss in the game. It was brought to the [[Pokémon world]] sometime after the first one through [[Professor Sada]]'s "[[time machine]]" and is shown to be far more aggressive and belligerent than it, which eventually caused both to became rivals.
**At some point in [[Area Zero]], both Koraidon got into a territorial battle where the first one was defeated, but saved just in time by Professor Sada, who sacrificed her life to save it, after that, it was forced to escape Area Zero, traumatized by what happened there and leaving the second Koraidon as the strongest Pokémon in Area Zero and making it its territory.
** In The Way Home, the second Koraidon appears to the player, [[Nemona]], [[Penny]], [[Arven]] and the first [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]], only to attempt to start another battle to kick Koraidon out of its territory once again, however, the [[Zero Lab]] is opened and instead of attacking, it walks inside it, leaving the first Koraidon even more scared of it. The player and Koraidon go inside after defeating some [[Paradox Pokémon]] and inside, they meet [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], who calls the second Koraidon back inside its [[Master Ball]].
**After the player defeats the controlled AI Sada to deactivate the time machine, the Paradise Protection Protocol is activated, locking all of the heroes' [[Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] as a last resort to defend the time machine, sending out the the Guardian of Paradise, who's defeated once and for all by the player's Koraidon after [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] into a [[Dragon (type)|Dragon]] [[Type]].
**Later on in the post-game, the player can find the now trainerless Koraidon out of the Zero Lab and catch it, supposedly due to its Master Ball being out of reach.

==Trivia==
* Koraidon and {{p|Miraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
**Whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
***To not have different names between languages.
**To each have their own unique Abilities.
*Of all Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
** Curiously, the forms are fully usable in battle when hacked into the game, albeit with various glitches and oddities.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's Ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
***In its unused Pokédex entry, non-Apex Build Koraidon is 11'6" / 3.5m tall, the same height as Ultimate Mode {{p|Miraidon}}, and taller than Apex Build Koraidon.
**{{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
*The builds of Koraidon in Japanese and Korean use {{wp|Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese}} and {{wp|Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean}} words respectively, showing tradition and the past, while the modes of {{p|Miraidon}} in the same languages use borrowed words from English, showing modernity.
*Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Koraidon can't learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Miraidon}}.

===Origin===
Koraidon may be based on an amalgamation of various lizards, dinosaurs, and vague depictions of European fantasy dragons. It notably resembles the {{wp|Dactyloidae|anole}} and the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. It also has traits from other lizard species, namely the frills of the {{wp|iguana}}, the feet of the {{wp|gecko}}, and the prehensile tail of the {{wp|chameleon}}. Its feathers may be a reference to {{wp|feathered dinosaur}}s, while its bipedal stance in its Apex Build is reminiscent of older depictions of {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs. Furthermore, its signature move of {{m|Collision Course}} alludes to the asteroid that caused the {{wp|Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event}}, which eliminated most dinosaur species on Earth. Its head shape, its posture in its Apex Build and its alternate name, "Winged King", may be a reference to the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', colloquially known as the "King of the Dinosaurs" due to the only known species, ''T. rex'', being named with the Latin word for "king". As they're displayed mostly on the head and in the waist area, the colorful feathers might be reference to ancient cultures in general, as opposed to Miraidon's futuristic look. Ancient civilizations (notably Central and South American) and tribes often used bird feathers as ornaments and symbol of status. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of off road motorcycles (such as {{wp|chopper (motorcycle)|choppers}} or dirt bikes built for off road or natural terrains). This is shown by its antennae and shoulders which are similar to handlebars (especially longer ones known as “ape hangers”), and the protrusion on its chest together with its tail resemble rubber tires, the latter especially when curled. Koraidon may have conceptually been influenced by {{wp|cave paintings}}, as indicated by the ancient past motifs as well as its red color scheme; the oldest known cave painting is a red hand stencil found in the {{wp|caves of Maltravieso}} in Spain, one of the inspirations of the Paldea region.

====Name origin ====
Koraidon may be a combination of 古来 ''korai'' or 古代 ''kodai'' (ancient), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Its alternate name, Winged King, is literally ''winged king''.

Tsubasano'ou, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 翼の王 ''tsubasa no ō'' (winged king).

Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of [[Professor Sada]] [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Koraidon's name.

'''Gloria''' (Japanese: '''ユウリ''' ''Yuuri'') is the female [[player character]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Victor}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Gloria is a young girl who lives with her mother in the town of [[Postwick]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. One day, her friend [[Hop]] invites her to meet his big brother [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar League]], so that they both can receive a [[first partner Pokémon]] from him. After also receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon later on, as well as obtaining a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]], each of them sets out on their Gym Challenge, collecting eight [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the region, while also dealing with the troublesome actions of [[Team Yell]] along the way. During her Gym Challenge, she also develops a rivalry with [[Bede]], a pretentious boy endorsed by the Chairman of the Galar League, [[Rose]], and [[Marnie]], a quiet young girl from the rough streets of [[Spikemuth]].

Gloria eventually collects the eight required Badges and travels to [[Wyndon]], the biggest city in Galar and the setting of the Champion Cup, where she competes for the right to challenge Leon. Gloria wins the tournament, but her battle with Leon is interrupted before it can even begin by the actions of the Galar League Chairman Rose, who has awakened a Pokémon known as {{p|Eternatus}} and brought about an event called the [[Darkest Day]], which Galar had previously experienced thousands of years ago. Gloria teams up with Hop and the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to defeat Eternatus, before {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} it and ending the second Darkest Day. She then proceeds to battle Leon and defeat him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion of Galar and making Gloria the new Champion.

Later, Gloria and Hop are forced to deal with a group of rampaging [[Dynamax]] Pokémon let loose by a pair of rich brothers named [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who are trying to reinstate the monarchy of Galar and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Eventually, the brothers' plans are stopped, and both Gloria and Hop end up catching one of the two Legendary Pokémon.

===[[The Isle of Armor]]===
Sometime during her journey, Gloria travels to the [[Isle of Armor]], where she meets a new rival, [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}, and is taken under the wing of former Champion [[Mustard]] as a student of [[Master Dojo|his Dojo]]. Gloria competes in a series of trials with her new rival, eventually defeating them in a final battle, earning them the right to inheirit the Dojo's "secret armor", the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Kubfu}}. After growing close with her new Pokémon, Gloria and Kubfu challenge one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]], culminating in a battle between Master Mustard and his own Kubfu. The two are successful, and Kubfu learns the secret of the tower, allowing it to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike or Rapid Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}.

After resolving the incident with Sordward and Shielbert, Gloria returns to the dojo, where she finds Hop conducting research on [[Sonia]]'s behalf. Mustard tells her that Urshifu hates the taste of {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, so, in order for it to unlock its [[Gigantamax]] potential, a special ingredient is needed to make it drink the Max Soup. He doesn't reveal what this ingredient is, though, and leaves it to the duo to figure it out on their own. After a few bad guesses, Gloria and Hop travel to [[Honeycalm Island]], where Gloria gets thrusted into a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating it, she finds the missing ingredient; [[Max Honey]]. Upon returning to the dojo, Mustard informs Gloria that he wants to battle her in a no-holds-barred battle, where he uses his full power. In the battle, Mustard uses his own Gigantamax Urshifu. After being defeated, Mustard declares that he has nothing more to teach her.

===[[The Crown Tundra]]===
Sometime during her journey, Gloria travels to the [[Crown Tundra]], where she meets the retired Gym Leader [[Peony]], who recruits her as the leader of his exploration team, and tasks her with investigating three mysteries surrounding the tundra. In the [[Legendary Clue 1|first mystery]], Gloria meets {{p|Calyrex}}, the former king of the Crown Tundra, and helps it reunite with its steed, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} (as chosen by the player). In the [[Legendary Clue 2|second mystery]], she investigates ruins scattered around the tundra, encountering and [[caught Pokémon|catching]] the [[legendary giants]]. In the [[Legendary Clue 3|third mystery]], Gloria pursues the [[Galarian form|Galarian]] [[legendary birds]] across Galar. Upon solving these mysteries, Gloria finds a note describing a [[Legendary Clue?|fourth mystery]] that Peony does not recall writing. Upon bringing it to the [[Max Lair]], she learns about [[Ultra Beast]]s and {{p|Necrozma}}, and is eventually able to catch Necrozma in a [[Dynamax Adventure]].

Sometime after the events of the Sordward and Shielbert incident, The Isle of Armor, and The Crown Tundra, Gloria receives a call from Leon, receiving an invitation to a new type of competition called the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Gloria partners with [[Hop]] or [[Marnie]] in the inaugural [[Multi Battle]] tournament, and emerge victorious after defeating Leon and [[Raihan]] (if her partner is Hop) or Raihan and [[Piers]] (if her partner is Marnie), in the finals.
===Appearance===
Gloria is a short, slim young girl with fair skin, chin-length brown hair with a long strand on the left side, and brown eyes. She wears a gray hoodie with light grey connected diamond patterns and brown triangular buttons over a magenta pink button-up dress, tartan green socks, and brown boots with lighter brown laces. She also wears black modesty shorts and dons a dark green and white tam o' shanter on top of her head.

During official matches, Gloria wears a standard numbered Gym Challenger uniform. The initial one is a white striped collared shirt, which bears many logos. She also wears long white socks, as well as white shoes with red outlines, and striped shorts with logos. On her right arm, she wears a thumbless glove next to her Dynamax Band.

In The Isle of Armor, her hair is tied into a single bun. She wears a yellow jacket with a black undershirt. On her waist is a white karate belt and red and blue ends. She wears black shorts with yellow lines and black kneeguards with a yellow Poke Ball logo. She also wear white sneakers with yellow shoelaces and white socks.

In The Crown Tundra, she wears expedition clothing which consists of a red jacket and trousers with pockets and white zippers on them. She also wears black gloves, brown boots and a black hard hat with [[Peony]]'s logo on them. There's a red cloth tied to her right arm.

Her appearance can be customized during the game.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Style (GO)}}
For the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Gloria's outfit was released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]]. For each release of the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]], style options based on outfits from [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]] have also been made for free.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Gloria (Masters)}}
Gloria, who is based on the [[player character]] from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}}, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{form|Zacian|Crowned Sword}} {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Inteleon}}, {{form|Urshifu|Rapid Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Thwackey}}, and {{p|Cinderace}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Both her Urshifu and Cinderace are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. Gloria became a playable sync pair on November 30, 2020.

Gloria has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories, [[Legendary Adventures]] and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in the original game, both Gloria and {{mas|Victor}} coexist in this game.

==Trivia==
* Gloria, along with Victor, was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref name=MizutaniSWSHCharDesign>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1195496948221894656 Tweet about Victor and Gloria for Pokémon Sword & Shield]</ref>
* Even though the player can choose the player character's uniform number, [[:File:Sword Shield Female Trainer Gym Challenge Uniform.png|official artwork]] depicts their uniform number as "227", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 無事な ''bujina'', meaning "safely". It also could be a reference to [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], the release date of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. {{mas|Gloria}} also has this number on her uniform when she wears it in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
* Pre-release media referred to Gloria as both "Gloria" and "Shield" (Japanese: '''シールド''' ''Shield'').

Victor wins the tournament, but his battle with Leon is interrupted before it can even begin by the actions of the Galar League [[Rose|Chairman Rose]], who has awakened a Pokémon known as {{p|Eternatus}} and brought about an event called the [[Darkest Day]], which Galar had previously experienced thousands of years ago. Victor teams up with Hop and the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to defeat Eternatus, before {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} it and ending the second Darkest Day. He then proceeds to battle Leon and defeat him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion of Galar and making Victor the new Champion.

Later, Victor and Hop are forced to deal with a group of rampaging [[Dynamax]] Pokémon let loose by a pair of rich brothers named [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who are trying to reinstate the monarchy of Galar and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Eventually, the brothers' plans are stopped, and both Victor and Hop end up catching one of the two Legendary Pokémon.

===[[The Isle of Armor]]===
Sometime during his journey, Victor travels to the [[Isle of Armor]], where he meets a new rival, [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}, and is taken under the wing of former Champion [[Mustard]] as a student of [[Master Dojo|his Dojo]]. Victor competes in a series of trials with his new rival, eventually defeating them in a final battle, earning them the right to inheirit the Dojo's "secret armor", the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Kubfu}}. After growing close with his new Pokémon, Victor and Kubfu challenge one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]], culminating in a battle between Master Mustard and his own Kubfu. The two are successful, and Kubfu learns the secret of the tower, allowing it to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike or Rapid Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}.

After resolving the incident with Sordward and Shielbert, Victor returns to the dojo, where he finds Hop conducting research on [[Sonia]]'s behalf. Mustard tells him that Urshifu hates the taste of {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, so, in order for it to unlock its [[Gigantamax]] potential, a special ingredient is needed to make it drink the Max Soup. He doesn't reveal what this ingredient is, though, and leaves it to the duo to figure it out on their own. After a few bad guesses, Victor and Hop travel to [[Honeycalm Island]], where Victor gets thrusted into a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating it, he finds the missing ingredient; [[Max Honey]]. Upon returning to the dojo, Mustard informs Victor that he wants to battle him in a no-holds-barred battle, where he uses his full power. In the battle, Mustard uses his own Gigantamax Urshifu. After being defeated, Mustard declares that he has nothing more to teach him.

===[[The Crown Tundra]]===
Sometime during his journey, Victor travels to the [[Crown Tundra]], where he meets the retired Gym Leader [[Peony]], who recruits him as the leader of his exploration team, and tasks him with investigating three mysteries surrounding the tundra. In the [[Legendary Clue 1|first mystery]], Victor meets {{p|Calyrex}}, the former king of the Crown Tundra, and helps it reunite with its steed, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} (as chosen by the player). In the [[Legendary Clue 2|second mystery]], he investigates ruins scattered around the tundra, encountering and [[caught Pokémon|catching]] the [[legendary giants]]. In the [[Legendary Clue 3|third mystery]], Victor pursues the [[Galarian form|Galarian]] [[legendary birds]] across Galar. Upon solving these mysteries, Victor finds a note describing a [[Legendary Clue?|fourth mystery]] that Peony does not recall writing. Upon bringing it to the [[Max Lair]], he learns about [[Ultra Beast]]s and {{p|Necrozma}}, and is eventually able to catch Necrozma in a [[Dynamax Adventure]].

Sometime after the events of the Sordward and Shielbert incident, The Isle of Armor, and The Crown Tundra, Victor receives a call from Leon, receiving an invitation to a new type of competition called the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Victor partners with [[Hop]] or [[Marnie]] in the inaugural [[Multi Battle]] tournament, and emerges victorious after defeating Leon and [[Raihan]] (if his partner is Hop) or Raihan and [[Piers]] (if his partner is Marnie), in the finals.

He wears a gray beanie with circle patterns, a red T-shirt with a logo that resembles a [[Poké Ball]] and rolled-up sleeves, and blue jeans with a tartan green pattern for the pockets, along with brown running shoes.

==Trivia==
* Victor, along with Gloria, was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref name=MizutaniSWSHCharDesign>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1195496948221894656 Tweet about Victor and Gloria for Pokémon Sword & Shield]</ref>
* Even though the player can choose the [[player character]]'s uniform number, [[:File:Sword Shield Victor Gym Challenge Uniform.png|official artwork]] depicts their uniform number as "227", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 無事な ''bujina'', meaning "safely". It also could be a reference to [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], the release date of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
** Victor's uniform number in [[Pokémon Evolutions]] is 25, a reference to [[Pokémon 25th Anniversary|Pokémon's 25th anniversary]].
* Pre-release media referred to Victor as both "Victor" and "Sword" (Japanese: '''ソード''' ''Sword'', Korean: '''소드''' ''Sword'').
* Victor is the first [[player character]] to appear with a customized playable skin color outside the {{pkmn|games}}, appearing with a darker skin in Pokémon Evolutions.
*During a scene where the player, along with Sonia and Hop, are at Bob's Your Uncle at Circhester City, if the player picks the gag response to Sonia's question about the tapestry there, Victor/Gloria will actually speak and say "Exactly! Bob, with his brilliant smile must be part of the legend!", making Sonia react in disbelief. This makes it the only time Victor and Gloria can directly speak.
** Oddly, even though there is a speaking text box for this line, the smaller black box that usually displays the character speaking is absent.

'''Victor''' (Japanese: '''マサル''' ''Masaru'') is the male [[player character]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Gloria}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Victor is a young boy who lives with his mother in the town of [[Postwick]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. One day, his friend [[Hop]] invites him to meet his big brother [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar League]], so that they both can receive a [[first partner Pokémon]] from him. After also receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon later on, as well as obtaining a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]], each of them sets out on their Gym Challenge, collecting eight [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the region, while also dealing with the troublesome actions of [[Team Yell]] along the way.

Victor eventually collects the eight required Badges and travels to [[Wyndon]], the biggest city in Galar and the setting of the Champion Cup, where he competes for the right to challenge Leon. Victor wins the tournament, but his battle with Leon is interrupted before it can even begin by the actions of the Galar League [[Rose|Chairman Rose]], who has awakened a Pokémon known as {{p|Eternatus}} and brought about an event called the [[Darkest Day]], which Galar had previously experienced thousands of years ago. Victor teams up with Hop and the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to defeat Eternatus, before {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} it and ending the second Darkest Day. He then proceeds to battle Leon and defeat him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion of Galar and making Victor the new Champion.

Later, Victor and Hop are forced to deal with a group of rampaging [[Dynamax]] Pokémon let loose by a pair of rich brothers named [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who are trying to reinstate the monarchy of Galar and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Eventually, the brothers' plans are stopped, and both Victor and Hop end up catching one of the two Legendary Pokémon.

===[[The Isle of Armor]]===
Sometime during his journey, Victor travels to the [[Isle of Armor]], where he meets a new rival, [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}, and is taken under the wing of former Champion [[Mustard]] as a student of [[Master Dojo|his Dojo]]. Victor competes in a series of trials with his new rival, eventually defeating them in a final battle, earning them the right to inheirit the Dojo's "secret armor", the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Kubfu}}. After growing close with his new Pokémon, Victor and Kubfu challenge one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]], culminating in a battle between Master Mustard and his own Kubfu. The two are successful, and Kubfu learns the secret of the tower, allowing it to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike or Rapid Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}.

After resolving the incident with Sordward and Shielbert, Victor returns to the dojo, where he finds Hop conducting research on [[Sonia]]'s behalf. Mustard tells him that Urshifu hates the taste of {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, so, in order for it to unlock its [[Gigantamax]] potential, a special ingredient is needed to make it drink the Max Soup. He doesn't reveal what this ingredient is, though, and leaves it to the duo to figure it out on their own. After a few bad guesses, Victor and Hop travel to [[Honeycalm Island]], where Victor gets thrusted into a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating it, he finds the missing ingredient; [[Max Honey]]. Upon returning to the dojo, Mustard informs Victor that he wants to battle him in a no-holds-barred battle, where he uses his full power. In the battle, Mustard uses his own Gigantamax Urshifu. After being defeated, Mustard declares that he has nothing more to teach him.

===[[The Crown Tundra]]===
Sometime during his journey, Victor travels to the [[Crown Tundra]], where he meets the retired Gym Leader [[Peony]], who recruits him as the leader of his exploration team, and tasks him with investigating three mysteries surrounding the tundra. In the [[Legendary Clue 1|first mystery]], Victor meets {{p|Calyrex}}, the former king of the Crown Tundra, and helps it reunite with its steed, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} (as chosen by the player). In the [[Legendary Clue 2|second mystery]], he investigates ruins scattered around the tundra, encountering and [[caught Pokémon|catching]] the [[legendary giants]]. In the [[Legendary Clue 3|third mystery]], Victor pursues the [[Galarian form|Galarian]] [[legendary birds]] across Galar. Upon solving these mysteries, Victor finds a note describing a [[Legendary Clue?|fourth mystery]] that Peony does not recall writing. Upon bringing it to the [[Max Lair]], he learns about [[Ultra Beast]]s and {{p|Necrozma}}, and is eventually able to catch Necrozma in a [[Dynamax Adventure]].

Sometime after the events of the Sordward and Shielbert incident, The Isle of Armor, and The Crown Tundra, Victor receives a call from Leon, receiving an invitation to a new type of competition called the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. Victor partners with [[Hop]] or [[Marnie]] in the inaugural [[Multi Battle]] tournament, and emerges victorious after defeating Leon and [[Raihan]] (if his partner is Hop) or Raihan and [[Piers]] (if his partner is Marnie), in the finals.

==Trivia==
* Victor, along with Gloria, was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref name=MizutaniSWSHCharDesign>[https://twitter.com/megtany/status/1195496948221894656 Tweet about Victor and Gloria for Pokémon Sword & Shield]</ref>
* Even though the player can choose the [[player character]]'s uniform number, [[:File:Sword Shield Victor Gym Challenge Uniform.png|official artwork]] depicts their uniform number as "227", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 無事な ''bujina'', meaning "safely". It also could be a reference to [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], the release date of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
** Victor's uniform number in [[Pokémon Evolutions]] is 25, a reference to [[Pokémon 25th Anniversary|Pokémon's 25th anniversary]].
* Pre-release media referred to Victor as both "Victor" and "Sword" (Japanese: '''ソード''' ''Sword'', Korean: '''소드''' ''Sword'').
* Victor is the first [[player character]] to appear with a customized playable skin color outside the {{pkmn|games}}, appearing with a darker skin in Pokémon Evolutions.
*During a scene where the player, along with Sonia and Hop, are at Bob's Your Uncle at Circhester City, if the player picks the gag response to Sonia's question about the tapestry there, Victor/Gloria will actually speak and say "Exactly! Bob, with his brilliant smile must be part of the legend!", making Sonia react in disbelief. This makes it the only time Victor and Gloria can directly speak.
** Oddly, even though there is a speaking text box for this line, the smaller black box that usually displays the character speaking is absent.

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') is the head of [[Team Rocket]], who serves as the secretive [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]], in [[Generation I]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and {{LGPE}}. He hands out the {{Badge|Earth}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. As a Gym Leader, he [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but his master plan includes collecting rare Pokémon of all [[type]]s. After he disbands Team Rocket and abandons his Gym, his role as the Viridian Gym Leader is taken over by {{ga|Blue}}. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], he makes a return appearance as the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Boss'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}/'''Rocket Boss'''{{sup/4|HGSS}}/'''Team Rocket Boss'''{{sup/7|PE}} (Japanese: '''ロケットだんボス''' ''Team Rocket Boss'') and '''Team Rainbow Rocket''' (Japanese: '''{{j|Rロケットだん}}''' ''Team R Rocket'').

==Terminology==
In the English version of [[Pokémon Stadium]], his name is misspelled "'''Giovani'''" (with one n) to fit the game's seven-character limit for Trainer names. His name is correctly written as '''Giovanni''' in the ''[[Pokémon Stadium: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''.

In the Japanese version of the {{ga|Trainer Card}} from the [[Generation I]] games, he is unidentified and his name is written as '''???''', as opposed to other Gym Leaders who have their names written on the Trainer Card. However, the English version of the Generation I Trainer Card does not have any names of Gym Leaders. Giovanni appears as a silhouette in both language versions.

He is also unidentified and has his name is written as '''???''' on the list of Gym Leaders seen in Japanese and English manuals of the Generation I games and the English manual of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, even though he is identified normally in the Japanese manual of FireRed and LeafGreen.

==In the core series games==
=====Character profile=====
Giovanni is the primary antagonist of the games taking place in Kanto.

In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[Villainous team|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After the {{player}} defeated him and his team of Grunts at [[Silph Co.]], Giovanni fled to a hideout that the player is unaware of. Once the player returned to Viridian City, one of the major plot twists of these games revealed that Giovanni, in addition to his role as a criminal, was the final Gym Leader to be fought before the [[Elite Four]]—albeit one without a formal title. Here, he specializes in the {{t|Ground}} type. Once defeated, he disbanded Team Rocket and left the player with the {{Badge|Earth}} and {{TM|27|Fissure}}. If talked to again, he then vanishes and is not seen again for the rest of the game.

Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure). He also implies that he intends to return to power one day rather than being moved to dedicate his life to the study of Pokémon. There is a side-plot in the [[Sevii Islands]] that revolves around Giovanni; a group of Team Rocket members are trying to continue the aims of Team Rocket, but they abandon this when they realize that their leader has been defeated once and for all.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Giovanni's story is slightly expanded from his first appearance. During his first appearance, he is seen talking with [[Archer]] and giving him the permission to proceed with the plan to take over Silph Co. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player the [[Silph Scope]] as a token of apology for mocking them, as opposed to just leaving the device behind before leaving, like in previous games. At the Silph Co., a part of his conversation with the Silph Co. President is shown, with Giovanni demanding him to hand over the [[Master Ball]] like they had previously agreed. In the Gym battle, Giovanni's reward TM once again contains Earthquake, although now, it's [[TM41]], instead of TM26.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a group of Team Rocket members tries to relaunch the old team. They take over [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], and broadcast a radio announcement intended for Giovanni. Only in HeartGold and SoulSilver is it revealed that Giovanni does hear the broadcast, from his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]] - an event in the remakes involving a [[Time travel|time-traveling]] {{p|Celebi}} allows {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} to travel back in time and defeat Giovanni at the same time the rest of Team Rocket is being defeated at the Radio Tower. Upon defeat, he will begin ranting about how he keeps losing to children and, like before, Giovanni will leave the room and disappear. Later, in Kanto, it is revealed that {{ga|Blue}} took over the Viridian Gym after his disappearance.

The Celebi event also reveals some of Giovanni's background from the three years between Generation I/III and Generation II/IV. While it was mentioned by {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] in FireRed and LeafGreen that Giovanni has a son with red hair, the son's identity wasn't revealed until the time travel event in HeartGold and SoulSilver. As many fans speculated (and as was mentioned in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga series), this son is the [[rival]] of the Johto player character, {{ga|Silver}}. Much of Silver's personality is a result of the treatment he received from Giovanni, which includes abandonment. Like many of Giovanni's other actions throughout the games, this reflects on his selfishness.

Giovanni reappears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], replacing Blue, who instead participates in the [[Champions Tournament]]. Giovanni returns to using Ground types exclusively. While the announcer usually introduces Gym Leaders by their title, Giovanni, who does not have a title, is introduced as "The Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer" (Japanese: '''さいきょうのトレーナーとなのる''' ''Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer'').

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] Giovanni appears in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]] post-game story as the Boss of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. This version of Giovanni came from a universe where Team Rocket succeeded in taking over the world. He is first seen during the [[Aether Foundation]]'s broadcast from [[Aether Paradise]], where he seizes control of the organization from [[Lusamine]]. He uses an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to transform her mansion into [[Team Rocket's Castle]], fortifies himself inside it, and stations versions of [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]] from other worlds as his guards, along with an army of {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s. After battling through his army, the player and [[Lillie]] find Giovanni holding an unconscious Lusamine inside his control center deep within the castle. He introduces himself and reveals that he plans to create an army of [[Ultra Beast]]s in order to conquer all worlds. For that purpose, he needs the Aether Foundation's resources, and intends to brainwash Lusamine into serving him. Feeling nostalgic that a child would challenge him, Giovanni battles the player with a [[party]] that includes a {{p|Mewtwo}} capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], and is ultimately defeated. Accepting his loss, Giovanni abandons his plans for the Aether Foundation but swears that Team Rainbow Rocket will never fall. He leaves as [[Colress]] begins working to revert Team Rocket's Castle back into Lusamine's mansion, and is last seen reflecting on what world he should target for his schemes next before warping away.

After Episode RR has started, [[Sophocles]] creates a battle program based on Giovanni that appears as a boss in the [[Battle Agency]] within [[Festival Plaza]]. Giovanni is also implied to have stopped by at the [[Alola Photo Club]] to leave villainous team-based stickers for the player to use after he was defeated by them.

=====Appearance=====
In most of the games he appears in, Giovanni is depicted as a tall, medium built, middle aged man. He has very short, flat, dark hair and small dark eyes. He wears a long sleeved black shirt with a large V neck that shows off a white undershirt, black slightly baggy trousers and black shoes. On the left side of his shirt is a Team Rocket logo: A red capitalized R letter.

In {{game|Heart Gold and Soul Silver|s}}, he wears a black trench coat with a red triangular symbol on it instead of his usual black shirt. He also wears a black fedora hat on his head.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], He looks the same as his normal appearance, with the only difference being that his undershirt is red instead of white.

As for his alternate universe self in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, he looks the same as his original counterpart, with the only difference being that the Team Rocket logo on his shirt beig changed into Team Rainbow Rocket's logo: The capitalized R letter with rainbow colors.

{{main|Giovanni/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Giovanni BW142.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

===Main series===
{{main|Giovanni (anime)}}
Giovanni appears in the {{pkmn|anime}} as the head of [[Team Rocket]]. Unlike the members of other prominent criminal organizations, he is a recurring character from ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'' to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', usually keeping in contact with the [[Team Rocket trio]]. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', he also appears in person to take on the role of direct antagonist at times.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Origins.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Giovanni appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. They later encountered again at [[Silph Co.]] after Team Rocket had taken over the building. Seeing Red's arrogant and determined attitude to stop Team Rocket every time, Giovanni decided to put him in his place, and battled [[Red's Charizard]] with his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, winning easily before escaping with a helicopter, declaring that Red could never understand what he was hoping to achieve.
[[File:Young Giovanni PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Giovanni as a child]]
Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni accepted his Gym challenge, but Red claimed that he would battle him as the enemy of all Pokémon, instead of a Gym Leader. Hearing this, Giovanni put aside his usual Gym Leader battling [[party|team]] and took out his strongest pair of Pokémon, contained within [[Ultra Ball]]s. The first one was {{p|Rhyhorn}}, which single-handedly was able to defeat four of Red's Pokémon before drawing with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. During the {{pkmn|battle}}, Giovanni started actually feeling excited, and wondered why he was feeling that way. When he saw the pose Red took while sending out his Charizard, he finally remembered his childhood passion for Pokémon and battling, and wondered how he could have ever turned into a person who only treated Pokémon as tools for business. After Red's Charizard had defeated Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni offered him the Earth Badge as a proof of his victory. Red, however, refused to take a Badge from the Boss of Team Rocket. Seeing this, Giovanni turned to his minions, informing them that from that moment onward, Team Rocket would be officially disbanded. He then turned back to Red, now offering the Badge to him not as the Boss of Team Rocket but as the Viridian City Gym Leader. Red accepted the Earth Badge and left, heading for the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].

As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, without being the Boss of Team Rocket any longer.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Giovanni PG.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Giovanni first appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]''. After the [[International Police]] had failed to find him during a raid at the [[Viridian Gym]], he was seen standing on a hill near [[Viridian City]], declaring that Team Rocket would never fall, before walking away. Along with his disapparance, rumors about Team Rocket's disbandment began circling around.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. [[Looker]] approached Giovanni's son {{ga|Silver}}, hoping to find information on him as he had not been seen since his disappearance three years prior. However, all Silver could describe was his own last encounter with Giovanni three years ago, in which the two had a falling out that fractured their relationship.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Giovanni Zensho.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in Pokémon Zensho]]
Giovanni appears in [[PZ05]], where he is watching {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from the hidden cameras within the [[Silph Co.]] building. He orders one of his {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to try and stop Satoshi from reaching him. [[PZ07|Two chapters later]], he has taken the boss of Silph Co. hostage and threatens to harm him if he refuses to tell Giovanni where the [[Master Ball]] was. However, he is interrupted when Satoshi and [[Sabrina]] teleport their way to the top floor. Lapras uses {{m|Mist}} to blind {{p|Nidoqueen}}, but she launches a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. One of the needles from the attacks hits Giovanni. Satoshi and the others manage to escape afterwards. In ''[[PZ09|Viridian City]]'', Giovanni was revealed to be the final Gym Leader that Satoshi challenges. Satoshi manages to defeat him and earns the {{Badge|Earth}}.

==Trivia==
* Giovanni is the only [[Gym Leader]] in the {{pkmn|games}} to appear outside of his [[Gym]] in [[Generation I]], a feature that would become more and more common up to [[Generation IV]], during and after which all Gym Leaders in the featured regions appear outside of their Gym in one way or another.
** He is also the only Gym Leader not to use the "A Trainer Appears (Boy Version)" song.
* In the official Red and Blue guide from [[Nintendo Power]], Giovanni was labelled to be a regional boss of Team Rocket (implying he's not the absolute leader). This was invalidated in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, where it was made clear that Giovanni was the absolute leader of Team Rocket (even having an [[Team Rocket HQ|office in Johto]]).
* Giovanni is likely based on the boss of a {{wp|Yakuza}} faction, possibly more on the {{wp|bakuto}} factions than others, considering [[Team Rocket]]'s former ownership of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Outside of Japan, this reference is localized, making him more akin to a {{wp|Mafia}} boss (especially considering his English name being Italian in origin).
* In {{B2W2}}, Giovanni and [[Norman]] are tied for using more different species of Pokémon than any other Gym Leader at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], with a total of 10.
* Official material for the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] uses Giovanni's official artwork from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, even though he uses his design from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in the games themselves.
** He is the only character to appear in the Pokémon World Tournament who does not use his most recent official artwork in promotional material.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, he is the only Gym Leader who uses a Pokémon not of the type he specializes in during Gym battles.
* In his official {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} artwork, Giovanni has the same pose as {{me|Mewtwo}} X in [[:File:150Mewtwo-Mega X.png|its official artwork]], just mirrored.
* Artwork made by Ken Sugimori suggests that Giovanni was not originally going to be the Gym Leader of Viridian City.<ref>https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/611129653110026241</ref>
* Giovanni debuted in {{g|GO}} as a [[GO Snapshot]] photobomb at [[List of events (GO)|Pokémon GO Fest in Yokohama]].
* The teaser trailer for the debut of [[Team GO Rocket]] in GO contains the line "Earth is where I shall unleash my evil schemes next!" This is a reference to Giovanni's final line in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, in which he ponders "Now...what new world shall I unleash my evil schemes upon...?" before warping away from [[Aether Paradise]].
* Giovanni is the only character to be the leader of more than one [[villainous team]].

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') is the head of [[Team Rocket]], who serves as the secretive [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]], in [[Generation I]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and {{LGPE}}. He hands out the {{Badge|Earth}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. As a Gym Leader, he [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but his master plan includes collecting rare Pokémon of all [[type]]s. After he disbands Team Rocket and abandons his Gym, his role as the Viridian Gym Leader is taken over by {{ga|Blue}}. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], he makes a return appearance as the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Boss'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}/'''Rocket Boss'''{{sup/4|HGSS}}/'''Team Rocket Boss'''{{sup/7|PE}} (Japanese: '''ロケットだんボス''' ''Team Rocket Boss'') and '''Team Rainbow Rocket''' (Japanese: '''{{j|Rロケットだん}}''' ''Team R Rocket'').

==Terminology==
In the English version of [[Pokémon Stadium]], his name is misspelled "'''Giovani'''" (with one n) to fit the game's seven-character limit for Trainer names. His name is correctly written as '''Giovanni''' in the ''[[Pokémon Stadium: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''.

In the Japanese version of the {{ga|Trainer Card}} from the [[Generation I]] games, he is unidentified and his name is written as '''???''', as opposed to other Gym Leaders who have their names written on the Trainer Card. However, the English version of the Generation I Trainer Card does not have any names of Gym Leaders. Giovanni appears as a silhouette in both language versions.

He is also unidentified and has his name is written as '''???''' on the list of Gym Leaders seen in Japanese and English manuals of the Generation I games and the English manual of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, even though he is identified normally in the Japanese manual of FireRed and LeafGreen.

==In the core series games==
=====Character profile=====
Giovanni is the primary antagonist of the games taking place in Kanto.

In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[Villainous team|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After the {{player}} defeated him and his team of Grunts at [[Silph Co.]], Giovanni fled to a hideout that the player is unaware of. Once the player returned to Viridian City, one of the major plot twists of these games revealed that Giovanni, in addition to his role as a criminal, was the final Gym Leader to be fought before the [[Elite Four]]—albeit one without a formal title. Here, he specializes in the {{t|Ground}} type. Once defeated, he disbanded Team Rocket and left the player with the {{Badge|Earth}} and {{TM|27|Fissure}}. If talked to again, he then vanishes and is not seen again for the rest of the game.

Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure). He also implies that he intends to return to power one day rather than being moved to dedicate his life to the study of Pokémon. There is a side-plot in the [[Sevii Islands]] that revolves around Giovanni; a group of Team Rocket members are trying to continue the aims of Team Rocket, but they abandon this when they realize that their leader has been defeated once and for all.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Giovanni's story is slightly expanded from his first appearance. During his first appearance, he is seen talking with [[Archer]] and giving him the permission to proceed with the plan to take over Silph Co. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player the [[Silph Scope]] as a token of apology for mocking them, as opposed to just leaving the device behind before leaving, like in previous games. At the Silph Co., a part of his conversation with the Silph Co. President is shown, with Giovanni demanding him to hand over the [[Master Ball]] like they had previously agreed. In the Gym battle, Giovanni's reward TM once again contains Earthquake, although now, it's [[TM41]], instead of TM26.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a group of Team Rocket members tries to relaunch the old team. They take over [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], and broadcast a radio announcement intended for Giovanni. Only in HeartGold and SoulSilver is it revealed that Giovanni does hear the broadcast, from his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]] - an event in the remakes involving a [[Time travel|time-traveling]] {{p|Celebi}} allows {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} to travel back in time and defeat Giovanni at the same time the rest of Team Rocket is being defeated at the Radio Tower. Upon defeat, he will begin ranting about how he keeps losing to children and, like before, Giovanni will leave the room and disappear. Later, in Kanto, it is revealed that {{ga|Blue}} took over the Viridian Gym after his disappearance.

The Celebi event also reveals some of Giovanni's background from the three years between Generation I/III and Generation II/IV. While it was mentioned by {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] in FireRed and LeafGreen that Giovanni has a son with red hair, the son's identity wasn't revealed until the time travel event in HeartGold and SoulSilver. As many fans speculated (and as was mentioned in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga series), this son is the [[rival]] of the Johto player character, {{ga|Silver}}. Much of Silver's personality is a result of the treatment he received from Giovanni, which includes abandonment. Like many of Giovanni's other actions throughout the games, this reflects on his selfishness.

Giovanni reappears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], replacing Blue, who instead participates in the [[Champions Tournament]]. Giovanni returns to using Ground types exclusively. While the announcer usually introduces Gym Leaders by their title, Giovanni, who does not have a title, is introduced as "The Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer" (Japanese: '''さいきょうのトレーナーとなのる''' ''Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer'').

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] Giovanni appears in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]] post-game story as the Boss of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]. This version of Giovanni came from a universe where Team Rocket succeeded in taking over the world. He is first seen during the [[Aether Foundation]]'s broadcast from [[Aether Paradise]], where he seizes control of the organization from [[Lusamine]]. He uses an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to transform her mansion into [[Team Rocket's Castle]], fortifies himself inside it, and stations versions of [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]] from other worlds as his guards, along with an army of {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s. After battling through his army, the player and [[Lillie]] find Giovanni holding an unconscious Lusamine inside his control center deep within the castle. He introduces himself and reveals that he plans to create an army of [[Ultra Beast]]s in order to conquer all worlds. For that purpose, he needs the Aether Foundation's resources, and intends to brainwash Lusamine into serving him. Feeling nostalgic that a child would challenge him, Giovanni battles the player with a [[party]] that includes a {{p|Mewtwo}} capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], and is ultimately defeated. Accepting his loss, Giovanni abandons his plans for the Aether Foundation but swears that Team Rainbow Rocket will never fall. He leaves as [[Colress]] begins working to revert Team Rocket's Castle back into Lusamine's mansion, and is last seen reflecting on what world he should target for his schemes next before warping away.

After Episode RR has started, [[Sophocles]] creates a battle program based on Giovanni that appears as a boss in the [[Battle Agency]] within [[Festival Plaza]]. Giovanni is also implied to have stopped by at the [[Alola Photo Club]] to leave villainous team-based stickers for the player to use after he was defeated by them.

=====Appearance=====
In most of the games he appears in. Giovanni is depicted as a tall, medium built, middle aged man. He has very short, flat, dark hair and small dark eyes. He wears a long sleeved black shirt with a large V neck that shows off a white undershirt, black slightly baggy trousers and black shoes. On the left side of his shirt is a Team Rocket logo: A red capitalized R letter.

In {{game|Heart Gold and Soul Silver|s}}, he wears a black trench coat with a red triangular symbol on it instead of his usual black shirt. He also wears a black fedora hat on his head.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], He looks the same as his normal appearance, with the only difference being that his undershirt is red instead of white.

As for his alternate universe self in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, he looks the same as his original counterpart, with the only difference being that the Team Rocket logo on his shirt beig changed into Team Rainbow Rocket's logo: The capitalized R letter with rainbow colors.

==Quotes==
{{main|Giovanni/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Giovanni BW142.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

===Main series===
{{main|Giovanni (anime)}}
Giovanni appears in the {{pkmn|anime}} as the head of [[Team Rocket]]. Unlike the members of other prominent criminal organizations, he is a recurring character from ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'' to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', usually keeping in contact with the [[Team Rocket trio]]. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', he also appears in person to take on the role of direct antagonist at times.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Origins.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Giovanni appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. They later encountered again at [[Silph Co.]] after Team Rocket had taken over the building. Seeing Red's arrogant and determined attitude to stop Team Rocket every time, Giovanni decided to put him in his place, and battled [[Red's Charizard]] with his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, winning easily before escaping with a helicopter, declaring that Red could never understand what he was hoping to achieve.
[[File:Young Giovanni PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Giovanni as a child]]
Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni accepted his Gym challenge, but Red claimed that he would battle him as the enemy of all Pokémon, instead of a Gym Leader. Hearing this, Giovanni put aside his usual Gym Leader battling [[party|team]] and took out his strongest pair of Pokémon, contained within [[Ultra Ball]]s. The first one was {{p|Rhyhorn}}, which single-handedly was able to defeat four of Red's Pokémon before drawing with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. During the {{pkmn|battle}}, Giovanni started actually feeling excited, and wondered why he was feeling that way. When he saw the pose Red took while sending out his Charizard, he finally remembered his childhood passion for Pokémon and battling, and wondered how he could have ever turned into a person who only treated Pokémon as tools for business. After Red's Charizard had defeated Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni offered him the Earth Badge as a proof of his victory. Red, however, refused to take a Badge from the Boss of Team Rocket. Seeing this, Giovanni turned to his minions, informing them that from that moment onward, Team Rocket would be officially disbanded. He then turned back to Red, now offering the Badge to him not as the Boss of Team Rocket but as the Viridian City Gym Leader. Red accepted the Earth Badge and left, heading for the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].

As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, without being the Boss of Team Rocket any longer.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Giovanni PG.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Giovanni first appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]''. After the [[International Police]] had failed to find him during a raid at the [[Viridian Gym]], he was seen standing on a hill near [[Viridian City]], declaring that Team Rocket would never fall, before walking away. Along with his disapparance, rumors about Team Rocket's disbandment began circling around.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. [[Looker]] approached Giovanni's son {{ga|Silver}}, hoping to find information on him as he had not been seen since his disappearance three years prior. However, all Silver could describe was his own last encounter with Giovanni three years ago, in which the two had a falling out that fractured their relationship.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Giovanni (Adventures)}}

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giovanni serves much of the same role as he does in the games, although he now has [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Koga]] as subordinates. However, Giovanni is much more ruthless than his other counterparts.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Giovanni Zensho.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in Pokémon Zensho]]
Giovanni appears in [[PZ05]], where he is watching {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from the hidden cameras within the [[Silph Co.]] building. He orders one of his {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to try and stop Satoshi from reaching him. [[PZ07|Two chapters later]], he has taken the boss of Silph Co. hostage and threatens to harm him if he refuses to tell Giovanni where the [[Master Ball]] was. However, he is interrupted when Satoshi and [[Sabrina]] teleport their way to the top floor. Lapras uses {{m|Mist}} to blind {{p|Nidoqueen}}, but she launches a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. One of the needles from the attacks hits Giovanni. Satoshi and the others manage to escape afterwards. In ''[[PZ09|Viridian City]]'', Giovanni was revealed to be the final Gym Leader that Satoshi challenges. Satoshi manages to defeat him and earns the {{Badge|Earth}}.

==Trivia==
* Giovanni is the only [[Gym Leader]] in the {{pkmn|games}} to appear outside of his [[Gym]] in [[Generation I]], a feature that would become more and more common up to [[Generation IV]], during and after which all Gym Leaders in the featured regions appear outside of their Gym in one way or another.
** He is also the only Gym Leader not to use the "A Trainer Appears (Boy Version)" song.
* In the official Red and Blue guide from [[Nintendo Power]], Giovanni was labelled to be a regional boss of Team Rocket (implying he's not the absolute leader). This was invalidated in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, where it was made clear that Giovanni was the absolute leader of Team Rocket (even having an [[Team Rocket HQ|office in Johto]]).
* Giovanni is likely based on the boss of a {{wp|Yakuza}} faction, possibly more on the {{wp|bakuto}} factions than others, considering [[Team Rocket]]'s former ownership of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Outside of Japan, this reference is localized, making him more akin to a {{wp|Mafia}} boss (especially considering his English name being Italian in origin).
* In {{B2W2}}, Giovanni and [[Norman]] are tied for using more different species of Pokémon than any other Gym Leader at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], with a total of 10.
* Official material for the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] uses Giovanni's official artwork from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, even though he uses his design from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in the games themselves.
** He is the only character to appear in the Pokémon World Tournament who does not use his most recent official artwork in promotional material.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, he is the only Gym Leader who uses a Pokémon not of the type he specializes in during Gym battles.
* In his official {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} artwork, Giovanni has the same pose as {{me|Mewtwo}} X in [[:File:150Mewtwo-Mega X.png|its official artwork]], just mirrored.
* Artwork made by Ken Sugimori suggests that Giovanni was not originally going to be the Gym Leader of Viridian City.<ref>https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/611129653110026241</ref>
* Giovanni debuted in {{g|GO}} as a [[GO Snapshot]] photobomb at [[List of events (GO)|Pokémon GO Fest in Yokohama]].
* The teaser trailer for the debut of [[Team GO Rocket]] in GO contains the line "Earth is where I shall unleash my evil schemes next!" This is a reference to Giovanni's final line in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, in which he ponders "Now...what new world shall I unleash my evil schemes upon...?" before warping away from [[Aether Paradise]].
* Giovanni is the only character to be the leader of more than one [[villainous team]].

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. Originally, the only Swimmers to appear in-game were male—'''Swimmer ♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy'', shortened in [[Generation I]] to '''かいパン''' ''Swimsuit'')—but in [[Generation II]], female swimmers, '''Swimmer ♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') were introduced. Swimmers are found in the sea, usually just off the coast, and in some [[Gym]]s. From Generations II through IV, they were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. They specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

When female Swimmers are paired with male {{tc|Tuber}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as {{tc|Swimmers}}, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as {{tc|Swimmer Girls}}.

In {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}} from Generation I games on [[water route]]s were reassigned as Swimmer♀. This was reverted in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], though they now wear a swimsuit when encountered on these routes.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield}}, they keep their Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Swimmers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated.

==Appearance==
The male Swimmers are often depicted as slim or muscular men wearing swimming trunks or speedos. Their appearances from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VI]] games have them wear swimming hats and goggles. The female Swimmers are often depicted as slim young women wearing bikinis.

In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', multiple female Swimmers were among the audience spectating the [[Friendship Festival]].

In [[HZ042]], a male Swimmer was seen on a beach, dedicated to keeping it clean with his partner {{p|Trubbish}}. He followed [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] around the beach for most of the episode, giving them exposition on {{p|Palafin}} and the [[Ludlow|Mighty G]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Swimmer Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|A Swimmer in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
A Swimmer first appeared in ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You’re Snorlax!]]'', participating in the [[Bicycle]] race, during which he was impeded by a [[Snor]]lax sleeping in an inconvenient spot.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
A Swimmer appeared in ''[[PS060|Breath of the Dragonair Part 1]]'' and ''[[PS061|Breath of the Dragonair Part 2]]'', where he broke his leg before a surfing contest and lent {{adv|Yellow}} his {{p|Slowpoke}}. A Q&A section of the Netkun website once revealed this Swimmer's name as Akinori.

[[File:Swimmer F Adventures.png|thumb|100px|A female Swimmer in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
{{main|Jack (Adventures)}}
Swimmer {{adv|Jack}} debuted in this arc, trying to look for a {{p|Feebas}}.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} faced a virtual female Swimmer as his second battle at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
A male Swimmer was seen amongst the Trainers entering {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]''. In the [[PS512|following chapter]], he was shown with a {{p|Seismitoad}}, but was defeated by [[Leo]]'s {{p|Deino}}, eliminating him from the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament.

==Trivia==
* Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in [[Generation I]] are of the {{tc|Beauty}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} classes. Female Swimmers use unique models in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but are still referred to as Beauties.
* For the first time in [[Generation V]], male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Black and White|s}}, a female Swimmer claims that the place in her bikini where she stores her Poké Balls is a "woman's secret": 「ビキニのわたしがどこにモンスターボールをしまうのか？フフフ…… {{ruby|女|おんな}}の {{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 However, this was changed in the English version: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''
* In [[Pokémon GO]], a Swimmer refers to a Trainer who has caught at least 10 {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* The male and blond female swimmers from Alola were designed by [[TOKIYA]].<ref name=twitter> TOKIYA's deleted tweet [https://web.archive.org/web/20170613214429/https://twitter.com/TOKIYA/status/801625547100958720]</ref>

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. Originally, the only Swimmers to appear in-game were male—'''Swimmer ♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy'', shortened in [[Generation I]] to '''かいパン''' ''Swimsuit'')—but in [[Generation II]], female swimmers, '''Swimmer ♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') were introduced. Swimmers are found in the sea, usually just off the coast, and in some [[Gym]]s. From Generations II through IV, they were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. They specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

When female Swimmers are paired with male {{tc|Tuber}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as {{tc|Swimmers}}, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as {{tc|Swimmer Girls}}.

In {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}} from Generation I games on [[water route]]s were reassigned as Swimmer♀. This was reverted in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], though they now wear a swimsuit when encountered on these routes.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield}}, they keep their Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Swimmers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated.

==Appearance==
The male Swimmers are often depicted as slim or muscular men wearing swimming trunks or speedos. Their appearances from [[Generation I]]to [[Generation VI]] games have them wear swimming hats and goggles. The female Swimmers are often depicted as slim young women wearing bikinis.

In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', multiple female Swimmers were among the audience spectating the [[Friendship Festival]].

In [[HZ042]], a male Swimmer was seen on a beach, dedicated to keeping it clean with his partner {{p|Trubbish}}. He followed [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] around the beach for most of the episode, giving them exposition on {{p|Palafin}} and the [[Ludlow|Mighty G]].

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[File:Swimmer Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|A Swimmer in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
A Swimmer first appeared in ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You’re Snorlax!]]'', participating in the [[Bicycle]] race, during which he was impeded by a [[Snor]]lax sleeping in an inconvenient spot.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
A Swimmer appeared in ''[[PS060|Breath of the Dragonair Part 1]]'' and ''[[PS061|Breath of the Dragonair Part 2]]'', where he broke his leg before a surfing contest and lent {{adv|Yellow}} his {{p|Slowpoke}}. A Q&A section of the Netkun website once revealed this Swimmer's name as Akinori.

[[File:Swimmer F Adventures.png|thumb|100px|A female Swimmer in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
{{main|Jack (Adventures)}}
Swimmer {{adv|Jack}} debuted in this arc, trying to look for a {{p|Feebas}}.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} faced a virtual female Swimmer as his second battle at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
A male Swimmer was seen amongst the Trainers entering {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]''. In the [[PS512|following chapter]], he was shown with a {{p|Seismitoad}}, but was defeated by [[Leo]]'s {{p|Deino}}, eliminating him from the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament.

==Trivia==
* Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in [[Generation I]] are of the {{tc|Beauty}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} classes. Female Swimmers use unique models in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but are still referred to as Beauties.
* For the first time in [[Generation V]], male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Black and White|s}}, a female Swimmer claims that the place in her bikini where she stores her Poké Balls is a "woman's secret": 「ビキニのわたしがどこにモンスターボールをしまうのか？フフフ…… {{ruby|女|おんな}}の {{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 However, this was changed in the English version: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''
* In [[Pokémon GO]], a Swimmer refers to a Trainer who has caught at least 10 {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* The male and blond female swimmers from Alola were designed by [[TOKIYA]].<ref name=twitter> TOKIYA's deleted tweet [https://web.archive.org/web/20170613214429/https://twitter.com/TOKIYA/status/801625547100958720]</ref>

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

====Appearance====
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a cape in all of his outfits.
======Pokémon Red, Blue, Green and Yellow======
He wears a black shirt and a red jacket over it. On his shoulders is a cape that is red on the outside and black in the inside. He wears black jeans with red lines and a belt with a gold dragon-shaped buckle. He also wears red boots
======Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal======
He wears a black suit with red lines on them and a black-colored belt. His cape is now black on the outside and red inside. He wears black boots with red lines.
======Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green======
Lance has blue eyes and wears a blue suit with orange color around his sleeves and on the chest area. He also wears a dark belt around his waist, some brown boots with orange heels, and a brown cloak, which is red on the inside.
======Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver======
He wears a medieval-looking navy blue tunic with red-orange trim, a brown belt around his waist, and large black boots with orange two rings around the top of each boot. The cuffs of his long sleeves are black with orange zigzagging trim separating the cuff from the navy blue part of the sleeve. He sports a long, flowing cape around his neck which is black on the outside and crimson red on the inside.
======Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!======
Lance's attire is noticeably more casual than his previous outfits. He now wears a black shirt with a blue logo in the shape of a dragon on the front, with an open red jacket over it, and sports dark gray colored pants and brown boots. His cape lacks a high collar, is blue with gold trim at both the top and outside and gray on the inside.

===GOTCHA!===

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt. Surge|Trainers]] to fight the villain and free them. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia once again fled along with Ho-Oh.}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

After Aerodactyl got full, it could not fly, and one punch coming from Clefairy sent it packing afterward.

None of Aerodactyl's moves are known.}}

Lance appeared in [[PZ10]] as the final Elite Four member whom {{Zensho|Satoshi}} battled. Lance used his Dragonite, which was eventually defeated by {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charizard}}, allowing Satoshi to face his [[rival]], {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, in one final battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

====Appearance====
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a black cape in all of his outfits.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

After battling Lugia at the Whirl Islands, Tyranitar was returned to Lance as Silver was not able to fully control him.

Tyranitar's only known move is {{m|Sandstorm}}, his Ability is {{a|Sand Stream}} as a Tyranitar and {{a|Shed Skin}} as a Pupitar. He has a Quirky nature.}}

However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

[[File:Lance JBA.png|thumb|200px|Lance in Jō's Big Adventure]]
Lance meets [[Jō]] when he witnesses the [[Red Gyarados]] go on a rampage in the [[Lake of Rage]]. He assists Jō in fighting the Red Gyarados. After finding out that Ariana and Petrel were responsible for the incident in the Lake of Rage, Lance has a Tag Battle with them with Jō as his partner. Lance and Jō manage to defeat them with Dragonite's {{m|Twister}}. Lance is revealed to become the Champion of the Pokémon League and battles Jō, and Jō single-handedly defeats him with Totodile.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

Aerodactyl was very fast as it evaded an attack coming from Clefairy; however, Clefairy decided to trick Aerodactyl by luring it into a buffet. After Aerodactyl got full, it could not fly, and one punch coming from Clefairy sent it packing afterward.

None of Aerodactyl's moves are known.}}

Lance appeared in [[PZ10]] as the final Elite Four member whom {{Zensho|Satoshi}} battled. Lance used his Dragonite, which was eventually defeated by {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charizard}}, allowing Satoshi to face his [[rival]], {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, in one final battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

====Appearance====
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a black cape in all of his outfits.

===GOTCHA!===
Lance briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to.

Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

====Appearance====
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a black cape in all of his outfits.

===GOTCHA!===
Lance briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

After Aerodactyl got full, it could not fly, and one punch coming from Clefairy sent it packing afterward.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.

==In the anime==
===GOTCHA!===
Karen briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Karen in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Silver}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]], was one of the children raised by the [[Masked Man]] to be his servants. Unlike Silver and Green, Karen was not kidnapped and went to the Masked Man willingly out of boredom.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Karen debuted with Will at the [[Ilex Forest]], where they were tasked to guard the area. When Green arrived to stop the Masked Man's plan to capture {{p|Celebi}}, she was attacked by Karen and Will. With the {{adv|Tower duo|Ho-Oh and Lugia}} they borrowed from the Masked Man, Karen and Will exploited Green's fear of birds to torture her. When Green learned that Karen and Will also defeated and captured Silver, she overcame her fear of birds and sent out {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} to fight. Green and her allies, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, each used one of the legendary birds to battle Karen and Will. With the assistance of many Pokémon sent from all across [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], Ho-Oh and Lugia were freed from the Masked Man's control and fly away. Defeated, Karen made her escape.

After the Masked Man's defeat, Karen and Will were approached by [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], who offered to form an alliance since all four of them were once members of various criminal organizations.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
It is revealed that Karen, Will, Bruno, and Koga were all made members of the Johto [[Elite Four]] by the [[Pokémon Association]]. The Johto Elite Four went to the [[Pokéathlon]] as an act of promotion for the Pokémon League. There, they met {{adv|Gold}}, who they challenged to the Power Course. Karen was the only Elite Four member who didn't participate in the events.

====Pokémon====
This listing is of Karen's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

In ''[[PS268|The Escape]]'', it was revealed that Umbreon evolved from an {{p|Eevee}}.

Umbreon's known moves are {{m|Faint Attack}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, and {{m|Bite}}.}}

The Pokémon latched on to Ho-Oh and {{p|Lugia}}, and their combined power freed the two from the Masked Man's control. Now freed, Ho-Oh and Lugia flew off to parts unknown.}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Karen PM.png|thumb|200px|Karen in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} encounters Karen in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. Her role in this manga is similar to Lance's in the Generation II games and the remakes where she was the last one fought as Lance himself was absent.

When Red arrived in the Pokémon League, [[Will]], [[Koga]], and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemingly defeated by Karen. Red ask them what happened, but Koga asked him to ask Karen herself. Red manages to get to the top and finds Karen, along with hers, [[Koga]]'s, [[Bruno]]'s and [[Will]]'s Pokémon. Red asked Karen what happened between her and the rest of the Elite Four, but Karen says it is none of his business. However, with her teammates' Pokémon, Red is outnumbered. Clefairy then takes out a giant sieve to "sieve" out the opponents, leaving behind only Karen's {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon proves to be a tough opponent, but Clefairy succeeds in beating it.

After her defeat, Karen reveals to Red what actually happened. The Elite Four were exhausted from training, thus Karen decided to tell them a joke. After Karen shares the same joke to Red and his Pokémon, only Clefairy finds it funny and laugh, while Red and his other Pokémon fell down at the dumb joke. Apparently, Will, Koga and Bruno also fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

Later, Umbreon's Sand-Attack and Mean Look put Clefairy at a disadvantage. Tyrogue pointed out to a bright sun in which Clefairy can use to win. Clefairy uses {{m|Light Screen}} so that the sun's ray can reflect it and turns it into {{m|SolarBeam}}, which defeated Umbreon.

Umbreon's known moves are {{m|Sand-Attack}} and {{m|Mean Look}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Karen is the only [[Elite Four]] member in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} who does not use a Pokémon that is part of a three-stage evolutionary line in her rematch team.
** She is also the only one who, in her rematch with the player, uses a different final Pokémon from the one used in the initial battle. In her case, she replaces {{p|Houndoom}} with {{p|Umbreon}}, though Houndoom is still present in her party.
* Karen is the only Elite Four member in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} (and her initial team only in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}) where none of her Pokémon have a quadruple weakness.

===GOTCHA!===
Karen briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Karen in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Silver}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]], was one of the children raised by the [[Masked Man]] to be his servants. Unlike Silver and Green, Karen was not kidnapped and went to the Masked Man willingly out of boredom.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Karen debuted with Will at the [[Ilex Forest]], where they were tasked to guard the area. When Green arrived to stop the Masked Man's plan to capture {{p|Celebi}}, she was attacked by Karen and Will. With the {{adv|Tower duo|Ho-Oh and Lugia}} they borrowed from the Masked Man, Karen and Will exploited Green's fear of birds to torture her. When Green learned that Karen and Will also defeated and captured Silver, she overcame her fear of birds and sent out {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} to fight. Green and her allies, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, each used one of the legendary birds to battle Karen and Will. With the assistance of many Pokémon sent from all across [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], Ho-Oh and Lugia were freed from the Masked Man's control and fly away. Defeated, Karen made her escape.

After the Masked Man's defeat, Karen and Will were approached by [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], who offered to form an alliance since all four of them were once members of various criminal organizations.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
It is revealed that Karen, Will, Bruno, and Koga were all made members of the Johto [[Elite Four]] by the [[Pokémon Association]]. The Johto Elite Four went to the [[Pokéathlon]] as an act of promotion for the Pokémon League. There, they met {{adv|Gold}}, who they challenged to the Power Course. Karen was the only Elite Four member who didn't participate in the events.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Karen PM.png|thumb|200px|Karen in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} encounters Karen in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. Her role in this manga is similar to Lance's in the Generation II games and the remakes where she was the last one fought as Lance himself was absent.

When Red arrived in the Pokémon League, [[Will]], [[Koga]], and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemingly defeated by Karen. Red ask them what happened, but Koga asked him to ask Karen herself. Red manages to get to the top and finds Karen, along with hers, [[Koga]]'s, [[Bruno]]'s and [[Will]]'s Pokémon. Red asked Karen what happened between her and the rest of the Elite Four, but Karen says it is none of his business. However, with her teammates' Pokémon, Red is outnumbered. Clefairy then takes out a giant sieve to "sieve" out the opponents, leaving behind only Karen's {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon proves to be a tough opponent, but Clefairy succeeds in beating it.

After her defeat, Karen reveals to Red what actually happened. The Elite Four were exhausted from training, thus Karen decided to tell them a joke. After Karen shares the same joke to Red and his Pokémon, only Clefairy finds it funny and laugh, while Red and his other Pokémon fell down at the dumb joke. Apparently, Will, Koga and Bruno also fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

Clefairy uses {{m|Light Screen}} so that the sun's ray can reflect it and turns it into {{m|SolarBeam}}, which defeated Umbreon.

Umbreon's known moves are {{m|Sand-Attack}} and {{m|Mean Look}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Karen is the only [[Elite Four]] member in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} who does not use a Pokémon that is part of a three-stage evolutionary line in her rematch team.
** She is also the only one who, in her rematch with the player, uses a different final Pokémon from the one used in the initial battle. In her case, she replaces {{p|Houndoom}} with {{p|Umbreon}}, though Houndoom is still present in her party.
* Karen is the only Elite Four member in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} (and her initial team only in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}) where none of her Pokémon have a quadruple weakness.

====History====
=====Past=====
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Silver}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]], was one of the children raised by the [[Masked Man]] to be his servants. Unlike Silver and Green, Karen was not kidnapped and went to the Masked Man willingly out of boredom.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Karen debuted with Will at the [[Ilex Forest]], where they were tasked to guard the area. When Green arrived to stop the Masked Man's plan to capture {{p|Celebi}}, she was attacked by Karen and Will. With the {{adv|Tower duo|Ho-Oh and Lugia}} they borrowed from the Masked Man, Karen and Will exploited Green's fear of birds to torture her. When Green learned that Karen and Will also defeated and captured Silver, she overcame her fear of birds and sent out {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} to fight. Green and her allies, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, each used one of the legendary birds to battle Karen and Will. With the assistance of many Pokémon sent from all across [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], Ho-Oh and Lugia were freed from the Masked Man's control and fly away. Defeated, Karen made her escape.

After the Masked Man's defeat, Karen and Will were approached by [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], who offered to form an alliance since all four of them were once members of various criminal organizations.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
It is revealed that Karen, Will, Bruno, and Koga were all made members of the Johto [[Elite Four]] by the [[Pokémon Association]]. The Johto Elite Four went to the [[Pokéathlon]] as an act of promotion for the Pokémon League. There, they met {{adv|Gold}}, who they challenged to the Power Course. Karen was the only Elite Four member who didn't participate in the events.

In ''[[PS268|The Escape]]'', it was revealed that Umbreon evolved from an {{p|Eevee}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Karen PM.png|thumb|200px|Karen in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} encounters Karen in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. Her role in this manga is similar to Lance's in the Generation II games and the remakes where she was the last one fought as Lance himself was absent.

When Red arrived in the Pokémon League, [[Will]], [[Koga]], and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemingly defeated by Karen. Red ask them what happened, but Koga asked him to ask Karen herself. Red manages to get to the top and finds Karen, along with hers, [[Koga]]'s, [[Bruno]]'s and [[Will]]'s Pokémon. Red asked Karen what happened between her and the rest of the Elite Four, but Karen says it is none of his business. However, with her teammates' Pokémon, Red is outnumbered. Clefairy then takes out a giant sieve to "sieve" out the opponents, leaving behind only Karen's {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon proves to be a tough opponent, but Clefairy succeeds in beating it.

After her defeat, Karen reveals to Red what actually happened. The Elite Four were exhausted from training, thus Karen decided to tell them a joke. After Karen shares the same joke to Red and his Pokémon, only Clefairy finds it funny and laugh, while Red and his other Pokémon fell down at the dumb joke. Apparently, Will, Koga and Bruno also fell down the building after hearing her dumb joke.

Clefairy uses {{m|Light Screen}} so that the sun's ray can reflect it and turns it into {{m|SolarBeam}}, which defeated Umbreon.

Umbreon's known moves are {{m|Sand-Attack}} and {{m|Mean Look}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Karen is the only [[Elite Four]] member in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} who does not use a Pokémon that is part of a three-stage evolutionary line in her rematch team.
** She is also the only one who, in her rematch with the player, uses a different final Pokémon from the one used in the initial battle. In her case, she replaces {{p|Houndoom}} with {{p|Umbreon}}, though Houndoom is still present in her party.
* Karen is the only Elite Four member in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} (and her initial team only in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}) where none of her Pokémon have a quadruple weakness.

'''Bruno''' (Japanese: '''シバ''' ''Siba'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====
Bruno is the second member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He raises Fighting-type Pokémon, living with them and training with them. He joined the Elite Four out of a desire to challenge the best Trainers. Although he trains Fighting Pokémon, he also commonly uses {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix|its evolved form}}. His strongest Pokémon is always his signature Pokémon {{p|Machamp}}.

Bruno regularly visits the [[Sevii Islands]]. He and his Pokémon use the {{DL|Kindle Road|Ember Spa}} on [[One Island]], and he visits [[Two Island]] to buy [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]]. Bruno once used to train with [[Brawly]], a Fighting-type [[Gym Leader]] from [[Hoenn]], in [[Sevault Canyon]].

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Bruno continues to be a member of the Elite Four, having moved up in position by one level. Like the rest of the Elite Four, Bruno uses a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}; in Bruno's case, he now uses a {{p|Hitmontop}}.

====Appearance====
Bruno is a large muscular man with a black long spiky hair tied into a ponytail. He has black eyes and think eyebrows. He is always seen shirtless and barefoot. Bruno wears a white long pants and a black karate belt. He also wear black bracelets with silver metal parts on his wrists and ankles.

{{main|Bruno/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Bruno anime.png|thumb|250px|Bruno in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Bruno appeared in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''. While {{Ash}} was preparing for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], he found out that Bruno was {{pkmn|training}} at [[Mt. Hideaway]] near [[Pallet Town]]. {{an|Brock}} was enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting Bruno, believing that he possessed some kind of secret technique that was the key to his success, so Ash, Brock, and {{an|Misty}} headed out to meet him. Along the way, they learned that Mt. Hideaway was the home of a [[Giant Pokémon|larger-than-usual]] {{p|Onix}}.

After Bruno saved {{ashfr|the group}} from the giant Onix, Ash and Brock begged him to take them on as students. Bruno agreed, under the condition that Ash and Brock would do anything he said. Bruno then had them chop wood, carry water, and carve chopsticks, among other chores. During this "training", Misty began to suspect that Bruno was a phony.

Not wanting to believe that Bruno didn't have any kind of special talent, Brock decided to prove Bruno's power by surprising him with a sneak attack. He assumed that Bruno's reflexes would be so amazing, he would stop Brock with ease. However, this did not happen, and Brock nearly ended up knocking Bruno unconscious. Bruno admitted that he didn't know any secret techniques on how to train Pokémon and just wanted to have someone to do a myriad of chores for him, thus shattering Brock's image of him.

Later, the group was again chased by the giant Onix. With his athletic skills, Bruno was able to save Ash from being hit by it, and then tricked the Onix into knocking itself on the head with its own tail. Once Onix was calmed down, Bruno was able to examine it, and discovered that the reason for Onix's aggressive behavior had been a {{p|Sandslash}} stuck in-between its boulders. After Bruno removed the Sandslash, Onix became so grateful that it willingly let itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by him. Bruno then told the group that the only true secret behind Pokémon training is that Trainers and their Pokémon should care for each other.

====Character====
Bruno is regarded by his many fans as a stoic individual dedicated to hard work. Though {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came to learn that this image was in fact false, Bruno does possess superhuman physical strength and agility. The group also witnessed the [[Elite Four]] member's true strength, ambition, and set determination. He takes time to meditate in order to hone his skills, which adds clarity and wisdom to his character. Bruno admitted his strategy for success is simply {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} strong Pokémon. He went on to explain that the true secret behind [[Pokémon training]] is that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon should care for each other.

===GOTCHA!===
Bruno briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Bruno Adventures.png|thumb|260px|Bruno in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
=====Past=====
As in the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Bruno used to train with [[Brawly]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Dewford Town]].

====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Bruno, along with the rest of the original Kanto Elite Four, first appeared at ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', observing {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle at [[Indigo Plateau]].

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
He was properly introduced two years later in this chapter, where he was revealed to have sent a challenge letter to Red to come meet and battle him at [[Mt. Moon]]. The two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s met and started battling, with Red delightfully commenting on how this was the first exciting battle he had had in three years. However, in the middle of the battle, the rest of the Elite Four appeared, telling Red about their plan to wipe out humans from the face of the planet and create a utopia for Pokémon. Red refused the offer to join them, but was then attacked by the four together, with [[Agatha]] using the mind-controlling powers of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to force Bruno attack Red as well. Red was eventually frozen in ice by [[Lorelei]], with only his [[Pika]]chu managing to escape from the site.
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno with the Johto Elite Four]]
Later, at the Elite Four's base on [[Cerise Island]], {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] encountered Bruno near an acidic river, with two wild Onix acting as bridges. The battle took place with Bruno standing on one Onix, and his opponents standing on the other. When {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Blaine]] showed up, it was also revealed that Bruno had put up a soundproof barrier at the cave entrance to stop any intruders from entering and interrupting the battle. Bill and Lt. Surge eventually gained the upper hand by combining {{p|Exeggcute}}'s {{m|Egg Bomb}} and {{m|Barrage}} with {{p|Electrode}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing Bruno to fall off the Onix, while Lt. Surge had his {{p|Magneton}} create a force field for himself and Bill to float in. Bruno was saved by his {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s stretching limbs, and then briefly once again placed under Agatha's mind control, attempting to make Lt. Surge and Bill fall into the acid below. However, they were saved by the arrival of Red, whose precense snapped Bruno out of his mind control, and they chose to continue their previously interrupted battle. Using his [[Vee|Eevee]]'s power to [[Devolution|change]] between [[Eeveelution|its evolutions]], Red was eventually able to defeat Bruno. Despite his loss, Bruno was still satisfied, and chose to leave.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
It was revealed that Bruno had encountered [[Koga]] while leaving Cerise Island, and the two had chosen to train together. They first appeared underground while Red and Blue were digging a tunnel to [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, Bruno and Koga encountered two of the Masked Man's minions, [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who agreed to come with them. Over the coming years, they would become known as the new Kanto Elite Four.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Bruno and the three other Elite Four members met {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] and competed in a set of [[Pokéathlon]] events against him. Bruno competed against Gold in Block Smash, using only his {{p|Machamp}} while Gold used his entire team. Although Bruno eventually had the lead, Gold managed to pick up his pace and eventually win the event. When Gold at one point mentioned Lance, Bruno referred to Lance as an old friend of his. Gold also gave Bruno some treats before leaving, and Bruno immediately fell in love with the taste of [[Rage Candy Bar]]s. At the end of the chapter, [[Whitney]] was seen sending a Bruno a boxful of Rage Candy Bars, much to his delight.

====Character====
Bruno attaches his [[Poké Ball]]s to the ends of a nunchuck. The force of him using the weapon causes his Pokémon to be released at high speeds, giving him the advantage in battles. He also has a unique Hitmonlee with arms as flexible as its legs, something previously thought to be impossible.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Bruno's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

{{TrainerPoké

|epname=Ponyta Tale
|desc={{p|Hitmonlee}} is Bruno's main Pokémon that specializes in kicking. He was known to have very strong legs as he was able to destroy Bill's house in one single kick and in other violent activities. He was used in a battle against Red on [[Mt. Moon]]. During their battle, Hitmonlee was able to land hefty damage on Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], who was aiming for his knee but soon found that his elastic, spring-like legs made the feat virtually impossible. Soon afterward, after [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]] joined the fray (and the latter activated the mind-controlling wristbands that she had Bruno wear), he was used alongside the former's {{p|Jynx}} and the latter's {{p|Gastly}} to defeat [[Poli]], [[Saur]], and [[Gyara]]. Hitmonlee was later used in the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he fought with [[Koga]]'s Ekans against [[Lance's Dragonite]], but to no avail.

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only. Hitmonlee cannot legally learn Shadow Ball}}.}}

Despite a type disadvantage against Red's {{p|Gyarados}}, [[Gyara]], it was able to hold its own and deftly avoid super-effective hits from his {{type|Water}} attacks. Afterward, it used its {{m|Bind}} to keep Gyara from attacking, only to take damage from the latter's {{m|Bite}}. It then dug underground to launch a surprise attack, and this time faced off against [[Saur]]. However, before that fight could conclude, it was interrupted by a pack of {{p|Diglett}} crossing, and later Bruno's [[Elite Four]] comrades [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]]. A while later, it fought Bill and Lt. Surge on Cerise Island. He uses it this time to battle Red again. Onix was used to carry Red and the others off of Cerise Island as it was collapsing.}}

In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, he used Machamp in the [[Pokéathlon]], being able to break two sets of ten blocks really quickly without losing stamina in the Block Smash portion. However, he was soon overtaken when {{adv|Gold}}'s team consistently aimed for the blocks' weak spots.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Bruno PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Bruno PM 2.png|thumb|200px|Bruno as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Bruno debuted in ''[[PM034|Clefairy's Under Training!!]]''. When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} were out in a garden, they noticed Bruno training with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Bruno invited them over, and the first thing he had them do was go under a waterfall. After the waterfall training, he had them break some bricks. Afterwards, Bruno had them meditate. During meditation, Clefairy, for some odd reason, decided to disrupt the training, much to everyone's ire. Afterwards, Bruno revealed himself as one of the Elite Four. Clefairy then started to mess up his hair, which resulted in Clefairy getting kicked out of the dojo.

Bruno called out his Machamp and two Onix to handle Clefairy after forcing Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to fight each other. They almost managed to defeat Clefairy, only for Pikachu to intervene.

Bruno reappeared in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four]]'', where it was revealed that he was part of the Johto Elite Four. He, along with [[Koga]] and [[Will]], fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. It was later revealed that, after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a terrible joke, and they fell down the building after hearing it.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bruno EP001.png|thumb|230px|The shadowy person resembling Bruno from the first episode of the anime]]
* In [[EP001|the first episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], a shadowed person greatly resembling Bruno appears, using a {{p|Nidorino}} and an {{p|Onix}}. It has never been officially confirmed whether this person really is Bruno or not, although the similarities become especially apparent in higher-quality versions of the episode.
* Bruno's hair has changed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation III]] to a longer, darker style; his skin tone has become lighter as well.
* In Generation III, Bruno's overworld sprite always looks away from the {{player}} after being defeated.
* Bruno's original sprite in [[Generation I]] and overworld sprites in [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}} show him with remarkably closed eyes (somewhat similar to [[Brock]]'s), similar to his Pokémon Adventures version, but starting in the next generation, he looks the same way he did in the anime.
* Bruno was the first member of the [[Elite Four]] who was met in the anime, excluding [[Koga]], who was not a member at the time of his appearance.
* None of Bruno's sprites have ever shown him standing up.
* Bruno, [[Lance]], [[Koga]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Grimsley]] are the only Elite Four members who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
* Bruno is the only member of the Indigo Elite Four to retain that title between Generations I and II.
** Bruno, Lance, and Koga are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]]. Of the three, Bruno is the only one to always keep his status as an Elite Four member.
* Despite taking place three years later, Bruno's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing happens to [[Lance]] and {{ga|Blue}}.
* Bruno and [[Koga]] are the only Elite Four members to have the same type specialty as a Gym Leader of their specific regions.
* Bruno has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] Exeggutor in Pokémon Stadium 2: {{m|Ancient Power}} is an Egg move, while {{m|Explosion}} is a [[Generation I]] TM.
* In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against [[Lorelei]], Bruno, and [[Agatha]] use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.

'''Bruno''' (Japanese: '''シバ''' ''Siba'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====èÉ
Bruno is the second member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He raises Fighting-type Pokémon, living with them and training with them. He joined the Elite Four out of a desire to challenge the best Trainers. Although he trains Fighting Pokémon, he also commonly uses {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix|its evolved form}}. His strongest Pokémon is always his signature Pokémon {{p|Machamp}}.

Bruno regularly visits the [[Sevii Islands]]. He and his Pokémon use the {{DL|Kindle Road|Ember Spa}} on [[One Island]], and he visits [[Two Island]] to buy [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]]. Bruno once used to train with [[Brawly]], a Fighting-type [[Gym Leader]] from [[Hoenn]], in [[Sevault Canyon]].

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Bruno continues to be a member of the Elite Four, having moved up in position by one level. Like the rest of the Elite Four, Bruno uses a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}; in Bruno's case, he now uses a {{p|Hitmontop}}.

====Appearance====
Bruno is a large muscular man with a black long spiky hair tied into a ponytail. He has black eyes and think eyebrows. He is always seen shirtless and barefoot. Bruno wears a white long pants and a black karate belt. He also wear black bracelets with silver metal parts on his wrists and ankles.

===Main series===
[[File:Bruno anime.png|thumb|250px|Bruno in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Bruno appeared in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''. While {{Ash}} was preparing for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], he found out that Bruno was {{pkmn|training}} at [[Mt. Hideaway]] near [[Pallet Town]]. {{an|Brock}} was enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting Bruno, believing that he possessed some kind of secret technique that was the key to his success, so Ash, Brock, and {{an|Misty}} headed out to meet him. Along the way, they learned that Mt. Hideaway was the home of a [[Giant Pokémon|larger-than-usual]] {{p|Onix}}.

After Bruno saved {{ashfr|the group}} from the giant Onix, Ash and Brock begged him to take them on as students. Bruno agreed, under the condition that Ash and Brock would do anything he said. Bruno then had them chop wood, carry water, and carve chopsticks, among other chores. During this "training", Misty began to suspect that Bruno was a phony.

Not wanting to believe that Bruno didn't have any kind of special talent, Brock decided to prove Bruno's power by surprising him with a sneak attack. He assumed that Bruno's reflexes would be so amazing, he would stop Brock with ease. However, this did not happen, and Brock nearly ended up knocking Bruno unconscious. Bruno admitted that he didn't know any secret techniques on how to train Pokémon and just wanted to have someone to do a myriad of chores for him, thus shattering Brock's image of him.

Later, the group was again chased by the giant Onix. With his athletic skills, Bruno was able to save Ash from being hit by it, and then tricked the Onix into knocking itself on the head with its own tail. Once Onix was calmed down, Bruno was able to examine it, and discovered that the reason for Onix's aggressive behavior had been a {{p|Sandslash}} stuck in-between its boulders. After Bruno removed the Sandslash, Onix became so grateful that it willingly let itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by him. Bruno then told the group that the only true secret behind Pokémon training is that Trainers and their Pokémon should care for each other.

====Character====
Bruno is regarded by his many fans as a stoic individual dedicated to hard work. Though {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came to learn that this image was in fact false, Bruno does possess superhuman physical strength and agility. The group also witnessed the [[Elite Four]] member's true strength, ambition, and set determination. He takes time to meditate in order to hone his skills, which adds clarity and wisdom to his character. Bruno admitted his strategy for success is simply {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} strong Pokémon. He went on to explain that the true secret behind [[Pokémon training]] is that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon should care for each other.

===GOTCHA!===
Bruno briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Bruno Adventures.png|thumb|260px|Bruno in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
=====Past=====
As in the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Bruno used to train with [[Brawly]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Dewford Town]].

====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Bruno, along with the rest of the original Kanto Elite Four, first appeared at ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', observing {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle at [[Indigo Plateau]].

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
He was properly introduced two years later in this chapter, where he was revealed to have sent a challenge letter to Red to come meet and battle him at [[Mt. Moon]]. The two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s met and started battling, with Red delightfully commenting on how this was the first exciting battle he had had in three years. However, in the middle of the battle, the rest of the Elite Four appeared, telling Red about their plan to wipe out humans from the face of the planet and create a utopia for Pokémon. Red refused the offer to join them, but was then attacked by the four together, with [[Agatha]] using the mind-controlling powers of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to force Bruno attack Red as well. Red was eventually frozen in ice by [[Lorelei]], with only his [[Pika]]chu managing to escape from the site.
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno with the Johto Elite Four]]
Later, at the Elite Four's base on [[Cerise Island]], {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] encountered Bruno near an acidic river, with two wild Onix acting as bridges. The battle took place with Bruno standing on one Onix, and his opponents standing on the other. When {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Blaine]] showed up, it was also revealed that Bruno had put up a soundproof barrier at the cave entrance to stop any intruders from entering and interrupting the battle. Bill and Lt. Surge eventually gained the upper hand by combining {{p|Exeggcute}}'s {{m|Egg Bomb}} and {{m|Barrage}} with {{p|Electrode}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing Bruno to fall off the Onix, while Lt. Surge had his {{p|Magneton}} create a force field for himself and Bill to float in. Bruno was saved by his {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s stretching limbs, and then briefly once again placed under Agatha's mind control, attempting to make Lt. Surge and Bill fall into the acid below. However, they were saved by the arrival of Red, whose precense snapped Bruno out of his mind control, and they chose to continue their previously interrupted battle. Using his [[Vee|Eevee]]'s power to [[Devolution|change]] between [[Eeveelution|its evolutions]], Red was eventually able to defeat Bruno. Despite his loss, Bruno was still satisfied, and chose to leave.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
It was revealed that Bruno had encountered [[Koga]] while leaving Cerise Island, and the two had chosen to train together. They first appeared underground while Red and Blue were digging a tunnel to [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, Bruno and Koga encountered two of the Masked Man's minions, [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who agreed to come with them. Over the coming years, they would become known as the new Kanto Elite Four.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Bruno and the three other Elite Four members met {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] and competed in a set of [[Pokéathlon]] events against him. Bruno competed against Gold in Block Smash, using only his {{p|Machamp}} while Gold used his entire team. Although Bruno eventually had the lead, Gold managed to pick up his pace and eventually win the event. When Gold at one point mentioned Lance, Bruno referred to Lance as an old friend of his. Gold also gave Bruno some treats before leaving, and Bruno immediately fell in love with the taste of [[Rage Candy Bar]]s. At the end of the chapter, [[Whitney]] was seen sending a Bruno a boxful of Rage Candy Bars, much to his delight.

====Character====
Bruno attaches his [[Poké Ball]]s to the ends of a nunchuck. The force of him using the weapon causes his Pokémon to be released at high speeds, giving him the advantage in battles. He also has a unique Hitmonlee with arms as flexible as its legs, something previously thought to be impossible.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Bruno's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

|desc={{p|Hitmonlee}} is Bruno's main Pokémon that specializes in kicking. He was known to have very strong legs as he was able to destroy Bill's house in one single kick and in other violent activities. He was used in a battle against Red on [[Mt. Moon]]. During their battle, Hitmonlee was able to land hefty damage on Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], who was aiming for his knee but soon found that his elastic, spring-like legs made the feat virtually impossible. Soon afterward, after [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]] joined the fray (and the latter activated the mind-controlling wristbands that she had Bruno wear), he was used alongside the former's {{p|Jynx}} and the latter's {{p|Gastly}} to defeat [[Poli]], [[Saur]], and [[Gyara]]. Hitmonlee was later used in the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he fought with [[Koga]]'s Ekans against [[Lance's Dragonite]], but to no avail.

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only. Hitmonlee cannot legally learn Shadow Ball}}.}}

Afterward, it used its {{m|Bind}} to keep Gyara from attacking, only to take damage from the latter's {{m|Bite}}. It then dug underground to launch a surprise attack, and this time faced off against [[Saur]]. However, before that fight could conclude, it was interrupted by a pack of {{p|Diglett}} crossing, and later Bruno's [[Elite Four]] comrades [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]]. A while later, it fought Bill and Lt. Surge on Cerise Island. He uses it this time to battle Red again. Onix was used to carry Red and the others off of Cerise Island as it was collapsing.}}

In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, he used Machamp in the [[Pokéathlon]], being able to break two sets of ten blocks really quickly without losing stamina in the Block Smash portion. However, he was soon overtaken when {{adv|Gold}}'s team consistently aimed for the blocks' weak spots.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Bruno PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Bruno PM 2.png|thumb|200px|Bruno as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Bruno debuted in ''[[PM034|Clefairy's Under Training!!]]''. When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} were out in a garden, they noticed Bruno training with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Bruno invited them over, and the first thing he had them do was go under a waterfall. After the waterfall training, he had them break some bricks. Afterwards, Bruno had them meditate. During meditation, Clefairy, for some odd reason, decided to disrupt the training, much to everyone's ire. Afterwards, Bruno revealed himself as one of the Elite Four. Clefairy then started to mess up his hair, which resulted in Clefairy getting kicked out of the dojo.

Bruno called out his Machamp and two Onix to handle Clefairy after forcing Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to fight each other. They almost managed to defeat Clefairy, only for Pikachu to intervene.

Bruno reappeared in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four]]'', where it was revealed that he was part of the Johto Elite Four. He, along with [[Koga]] and [[Will]], fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. It was later revealed that, after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a terrible joke, and they fell down the building after hearing it.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bruno EP001.png|thumb|230px|The shadowy person resembling Bruno from the first episode of the anime]]
* In [[EP001|the first episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], a shadowed person greatly resembling Bruno appears, using a {{p|Nidorino}} and an {{p|Onix}}. It has never been officially confirmed whether this person really is Bruno or not, although the similarities become especially apparent in higher-quality versions of the episode.
* Bruno's hair has changed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation III]] to a longer, darker style; his skin tone has become lighter as well.
* In Generation III, Bruno's overworld sprite always looks away from the {{player}} after being defeated.
* Bruno's original sprite in [[Generation I]] and overworld sprites in [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}} show him with remarkably closed eyes (somewhat similar to [[Brock]]'s), similar to his Pokémon Adventures version, but starting in the next generation, he looks the same way he did in the anime.
* Bruno was the first member of the [[Elite Four]] who was met in the anime, excluding [[Koga]], who was not a member at the time of his appearance.
* None of Bruno's sprites have ever shown him standing up.
* Bruno, [[Lance]], [[Koga]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Grimsley]] are the only Elite Four members who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
* Bruno is the only member of the Indigo Elite Four to retain that title between Generations I and II.
** Bruno, Lance, and Koga are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]]. Of the three, Bruno is the only one to always keep his status as an Elite Four member.
* Despite taking place three years later, Bruno's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing happens to [[Lance]] and {{ga|Blue}}.
* Bruno and [[Koga]] are the only Elite Four members to have the same type specialty as a Gym Leader of their specific regions.
* Bruno has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] Exeggutor in Pokémon Stadium 2: {{m|Ancient Power}} is an Egg move, while {{m|Explosion}} is a [[Generation I]] TM.
* In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against [[Lorelei]], Bruno, and [[Agatha]] use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.

'''Bruno''' (Japanese: '''シバ''' ''Siba'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile===
Bruno is the second member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He raises Fighting-type Pokémon, living with them and training with them. He joined the Elite Four out of a desire to challenge the best Trainers. Although he trains Fighting Pokémon, he also commonly uses {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix|its evolved form}}. His strongest Pokémon is always his signature Pokémon {{p|Machamp}}.

Bruno regularly visits the [[Sevii Islands]]. He and his Pokémon use the {{DL|Kindle Road|Ember Spa}} on [[One Island]], and he visits [[Two Island]] to buy [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]]. Bruno once used to train with [[Brawly]], a Fighting-type [[Gym Leader]] from [[Hoenn]], in [[Sevault Canyon]].

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Bruno continues to be a member of the Elite Four, having moved up in position by one level. Like the rest of the Elite Four, Bruno uses a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}; in Bruno's case, he now uses a {{p|Hitmontop}}.

====Appearance====
Bruno is a large muscular man with a black long spiky hair tied into a ponytail. He has black eyes and think eyebrows. He is always seen shirtless and barefoot. Bruno wears a white long pants and a black karate belt. He also wear black bracelets with silver metal parts on his wrists and ankles.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Bruno anime.png|thumb|250px|Bruno in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Bruno appeared in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''. While {{Ash}} was preparing for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], he found out that Bruno was {{pkmn|training}} at [[Mt. Hideaway]] near [[Pallet Town]]. {{an|Brock}} was enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting Bruno, believing that he possessed some kind of secret technique that was the key to his success, so Ash, Brock, and {{an|Misty}} headed out to meet him. Along the way, they learned that Mt. Hideaway was the home of a [[Giant Pokémon|larger-than-usual]] {{p|Onix}}.

After Bruno saved {{ashfr|the group}} from the giant Onix, Ash and Brock begged him to take them on as students. Bruno agreed, under the condition that Ash and Brock would do anything he said. Bruno then had them chop wood, carry water, and carve chopsticks, among other chores. During this "training", Misty began to suspect that Bruno was a phony.

Not wanting to believe that Bruno didn't have any kind of special talent, Brock decided to prove Bruno's power by surprising him with a sneak attack. He assumed that Bruno's reflexes would be so amazing, he would stop Brock with ease. However, this did not happen, and Brock nearly ended up knocking Bruno unconscious. Bruno admitted that he didn't know any secret techniques on how to train Pokémon and just wanted to have someone to do a myriad of chores for him, thus shattering Brock's image of him.

Later, the group was again chased by the giant Onix. With his athletic skills, Bruno was able to save Ash from being hit by it, and then tricked the Onix into knocking itself on the head with its own tail. Once Onix was calmed down, Bruno was able to examine it, and discovered that the reason for Onix's aggressive behavior had been a {{p|Sandslash}} stuck in-between its boulders. After Bruno removed the Sandslash, Onix became so grateful that it willingly let itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by him. Bruno then told the group that the only true secret behind Pokémon training is that Trainers and their Pokémon should care for each other.

====Character====
Bruno is regarded by his many fans as a stoic individual dedicated to hard work. Though {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came to learn that this image was in fact false, Bruno does possess superhuman physical strength and agility. The group also witnessed the [[Elite Four]] member's true strength, ambition, and set determination. He takes time to meditate in order to hone his skills, which adds clarity and wisdom to his character. Bruno admitted his strategy for success is simply {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} strong Pokémon. He went on to explain that the true secret behind [[Pokémon training]] is that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon should care for each other.

===GOTCHA!===
Bruno briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Bruno Adventures.png|thumb|260px|Bruno in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
=====Past=====
As in the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Bruno used to train with [[Brawly]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Dewford Town]].

====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Bruno, along with the rest of the original Kanto Elite Four, first appeared at ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', observing {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle at [[Indigo Plateau]].

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
He was properly introduced two years later in this chapter, where he was revealed to have sent a challenge letter to Red to come meet and battle him at [[Mt. Moon]]. The two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s met and started battling, with Red delightfully commenting on how this was the first exciting battle he had had in three years. However, in the middle of the battle, the rest of the Elite Four appeared, telling Red about their plan to wipe out humans from the face of the planet and create a utopia for Pokémon. Red refused the offer to join them, but was then attacked by the four together, with [[Agatha]] using the mind-controlling powers of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to force Bruno attack Red as well. Red was eventually frozen in ice by [[Lorelei]], with only his [[Pika]]chu managing to escape from the site.
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno with the Johto Elite Four]]
Later, at the Elite Four's base on [[Cerise Island]], {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] encountered Bruno near an acidic river, with two wild Onix acting as bridges. The battle took place with Bruno standing on one Onix, and his opponents standing on the other. When {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Blaine]] showed up, it was also revealed that Bruno had put up a soundproof barrier at the cave entrance to stop any intruders from entering and interrupting the battle. Bill and Lt. Surge eventually gained the upper hand by combining {{p|Exeggcute}}'s {{m|Egg Bomb}} and {{m|Barrage}} with {{p|Electrode}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing Bruno to fall off the Onix, while Lt. Surge had his {{p|Magneton}} create a force field for himself and Bill to float in. Bruno was saved by his {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s stretching limbs, and then briefly once again placed under Agatha's mind control, attempting to make Lt. Surge and Bill fall into the acid below. However, they were saved by the arrival of Red, whose precense snapped Bruno out of his mind control, and they chose to continue their previously interrupted battle. Using his [[Vee|Eevee]]'s power to [[Devolution|change]] between [[Eeveelution|its evolutions]], Red was eventually able to defeat Bruno. Despite his loss, Bruno was still satisfied, and chose to leave.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
It was revealed that Bruno had encountered [[Koga]] while leaving Cerise Island, and the two had chosen to train together. They first appeared underground while Red and Blue were digging a tunnel to [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, Bruno and Koga encountered two of the Masked Man's minions, [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who agreed to come with them. Over the coming years, they would become known as the new Kanto Elite Four.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Bruno and the three other Elite Four members met {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] and competed in a set of [[Pokéathlon]] events against him. Bruno competed against Gold in Block Smash, using only his {{p|Machamp}} while Gold used his entire team. Although Bruno eventually had the lead, Gold managed to pick up his pace and eventually win the event. When Gold at one point mentioned Lance, Bruno referred to Lance as an old friend of his. Gold also gave Bruno some treats before leaving, and Bruno immediately fell in love with the taste of [[Rage Candy Bar]]s. At the end of the chapter, [[Whitney]] was seen sending a Bruno a boxful of Rage Candy Bars, much to his delight.

====Character====
Bruno attaches his [[Poké Ball]]s to the ends of a nunchuck. The force of him using the weapon causes his Pokémon to be released at high speeds, giving him the advantage in battles. He also has a unique Hitmonlee with arms as flexible as its legs, something previously thought to be impossible.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Bruno's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

|epname=Ponyta Tale
|desc={{p|Hitmonlee}} is Bruno's main Pokémon that specializes in kicking. He was known to have very strong legs as he was able to destroy Bill's house in one single kick and in other violent activities. He was used in a battle against Red on [[Mt. Moon]]. During their battle, Hitmonlee was able to land hefty damage on Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], who was aiming for his knee but soon found that his elastic, spring-like legs made the feat virtually impossible. Soon afterward, after [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]] joined the fray (and the latter activated the mind-controlling wristbands that she had Bruno wear), he was used alongside the former's {{p|Jynx}} and the latter's {{p|Gastly}} to defeat [[Poli]], [[Saur]], and [[Gyara]]. Hitmonlee was later used in the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he fought with [[Koga]]'s Ekans against [[Lance's Dragonite]], but to no avail.

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only. Hitmonlee cannot legally learn Shadow Ball}}.}}

Afterward, it used its {{m|Bind}} to keep Gyara from attacking, only to take damage from the latter's {{m|Bite}}. It then dug underground to launch a surprise attack, and this time faced off against [[Saur]]. However, before that fight could conclude, it was interrupted by a pack of {{p|Diglett}} crossing, and later Bruno's [[Elite Four]] comrades [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]]. A while later, it fought Bill and Lt. Surge on Cerise Island. He uses it this time to battle Red again. Onix was used to carry Red and the others off of Cerise Island as it was collapsing.}}

In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, he used Machamp in the [[Pokéathlon]], being able to break two sets of ten blocks really quickly without losing stamina in the Block Smash portion. However, he was soon overtaken when {{adv|Gold}}'s team consistently aimed for the blocks' weak spots.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Bruno PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Bruno PM 2.png|thumb|200px|Bruno as a Johto Elite Four member]]
Bruno debuted in ''[[PM034|Clefairy's Under Training!!]]''. When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} were out in a garden, they noticed Bruno training with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Bruno invited them over, and the first thing he had them do was go under a waterfall. After the waterfall training, he had them break some bricks. Afterwards, Bruno had them meditate. During meditation, Clefairy, for some odd reason, decided to disrupt the training, much to everyone's ire. Afterwards, Bruno revealed himself as one of the Elite Four. Clefairy then started to mess up his hair, which resulted in Clefairy getting kicked out of the dojo.

Bruno called out his Machamp and two Onix to handle Clefairy after forcing Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to fight each other. They almost managed to defeat Clefairy, only for Pikachu to intervene.

Bruno reappeared in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four]]'', where it was revealed that he was part of the Johto Elite Four. He, along with [[Koga]] and [[Will]], fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. It was later revealed that, after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a terrible joke, and they fell down the building after hearing it.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bruno EP001.png|thumb|230px|The shadowy person resembling Bruno from the first episode of the anime]]
* In [[EP001|the first episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], a shadowed person greatly resembling Bruno appears, using a {{p|Nidorino}} and an {{p|Onix}}. It has never been officially confirmed whether this person really is Bruno or not, although the similarities become especially apparent in higher-quality versions of the episode.
* Bruno's hair has changed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation III]] to a longer, darker style; his skin tone has become lighter as well.
* In Generation III, Bruno's overworld sprite always looks away from the {{player}} after being defeated.
* Bruno's original sprite in [[Generation I]] and overworld sprites in [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}} show him with remarkably closed eyes (somewhat similar to [[Brock]]'s), similar to his Pokémon Adventures version, but starting in the next generation, he looks the same way he did in the anime.
* Bruno was the first member of the [[Elite Four]] who was met in the anime, excluding [[Koga]], who was not a member at the time of his appearance.
* None of Bruno's sprites have ever shown him standing up.
* Bruno, [[Lance]], [[Koga]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Grimsley]] are the only Elite Four members who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
* Bruno is the only member of the Indigo Elite Four to retain that title between Generations I and II.
** Bruno, Lance, and Koga are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]]. Of the three, Bruno is the only one to always keep his status as an Elite Four member.
* Despite taking place three years later, Bruno's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing happens to [[Lance]] and {{ga|Blue}}.
* Bruno and [[Koga]] are the only Elite Four members to have the same type specialty as a Gym Leader of their specific regions.
* Bruno has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] Exeggutor in Pokémon Stadium 2: {{m|Ancient Power}} is an Egg move, while {{m|Explosion}} is a [[Generation I]] TM.
* In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against [[Lorelei]], Bruno, and [[Agatha]] use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.

'''Bruno''' (Japanese: '''シバ''' ''Siba'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile===
Bruno is the second member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He raises Fighting-type Pokémon, living with them and training with them. He joined the Elite Four out of a desire to challenge the best Trainers. Although he trains Fighting Pokémon, he also commonly uses {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix|its evolved form}}. His strongest Pokémon is always his signature Pokémon {{p|Machamp}}.

Bruno regularly visits the [[Sevii Islands]]. He and his Pokémon use the {{DL|Kindle Road|Ember Spa}} on [[One Island]], and he visits [[Two Island]] to buy [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBars]]. Bruno once used to train with [[Brawly]], a Fighting-type [[Gym Leader]] from [[Hoenn]], in [[Sevault Canyon]].

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Bruno continues to be a member of the Elite Four, having moved up in position by one level. Like the rest of the Elite Four, Bruno uses a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}; in Bruno's case, he now uses a {{p|Hitmontop}}.

====Appearance====
Bruno is a large muscular man with a black long spiky hair tied into a ponytail. He has black eyes and think eyebrows. He is always seen shirtless and barefoot. Bruno wears a white long pants and a black karate belt.

==Quotes==
{{main|Bruno/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Bruno anime.png|thumb|250px|Bruno in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Bruno appeared in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''. While {{Ash}} was preparing for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], he found out that Bruno was {{pkmn|training}} at [[Mt. Hideaway]] near [[Pallet Town]]. {{an|Brock}} was enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting Bruno, believing that he possessed some kind of secret technique that was the key to his success, so Ash, Brock, and {{an|Misty}} headed out to meet him. Along the way, they learned that Mt. Hideaway was the home of a [[Giant Pokémon|larger-than-usual]] {{p|Onix}}.

After Bruno saved {{ashfr|the group}} from the giant Onix, Ash and Brock begged him to take them on as students. Bruno agreed, under the condition that Ash and Brock would do anything he said. Bruno then had them chop wood, carry water, and carve chopsticks, among other chores. During this "training", Misty began to suspect that Bruno was a phony.

Not wanting to believe that Bruno didn't have any kind of special talent, Brock decided to prove Bruno's power by surprising him with a sneak attack. He assumed that Bruno's reflexes would be so amazing, he would stop Brock with ease. However, this did not happen, and Brock nearly ended up knocking Bruno unconscious. Bruno admitted that he didn't know any secret techniques on how to train Pokémon and just wanted to have someone to do a myriad of chores for him, thus shattering Brock's image of him.

Later, the group was again chased by the giant Onix. With his athletic skills, Bruno was able to save Ash from being hit by it, and then tricked the Onix into knocking itself on the head with its own tail. Once Onix was calmed down, Bruno was able to examine it, and discovered that the reason for Onix's aggressive behavior had been a {{p|Sandslash}} stuck in-between its boulders. After Bruno removed the Sandslash, Onix became so grateful that it willingly let itself be {{pkmn2|caught}} by him. Bruno then told the group that the only true secret behind Pokémon training is that Trainers and their Pokémon should care for each other.

====Character====
Bruno is regarded by his many fans as a stoic individual dedicated to hard work. Though {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came to learn that this image was in fact false, Bruno does possess superhuman physical strength and agility. The group also witnessed the [[Elite Four]] member's true strength, ambition, and set determination. He takes time to meditate in order to hone his skills, which adds clarity and wisdom to his character. Bruno admitted his strategy for success is simply {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} strong Pokémon. He went on to explain that the true secret behind [[Pokémon training]] is that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon should care for each other.

===GOTCHA!===
Bruno briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Bruno Adventures.png|thumb|260px|Bruno in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====History====
=====Past=====
As in the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Bruno used to train with [[Brawly]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Dewford Town]].

====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Bruno, along with the rest of the original Kanto Elite Four, first appeared at ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', observing {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}'s battle at [[Indigo Plateau]].

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
He was properly introduced two years later in this chapter, where he was revealed to have sent a challenge letter to Red to come meet and battle him at [[Mt. Moon]]. The two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s met and started battling, with Red delightfully commenting on how this was the first exciting battle he had had in three years. However, in the middle of the battle, the rest of the Elite Four appeared, telling Red about their plan to wipe out humans from the face of the planet and create a utopia for Pokémon. Red refused the offer to join them, but was then attacked by the four together, with [[Agatha]] using the mind-controlling powers of her {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to force Bruno attack Red as well. Red was eventually frozen in ice by [[Lorelei]], with only his [[Pika]]chu managing to escape from the site.
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Bruno with the Johto Elite Four]]
Later, at the Elite Four's base on [[Cerise Island]], {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] encountered Bruno near an acidic river, with two wild Onix acting as bridges. The battle took place with Bruno standing on one Onix, and his opponents standing on the other. When {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Blaine]] showed up, it was also revealed that Bruno had put up a soundproof barrier at the cave entrance to stop any intruders from entering and interrupting the battle. Bill and Lt. Surge eventually gained the upper hand by combining {{p|Exeggcute}}'s {{m|Egg Bomb}} and {{m|Barrage}} with {{p|Electrode}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing Bruno to fall off the Onix, while Lt. Surge had his {{p|Magneton}} create a force field for himself and Bill to float in. Bruno was saved by his {{p|Hitmonlee}}'s stretching limbs, and then briefly once again placed under Agatha's mind control, attempting to make Lt. Surge and Bill fall into the acid below. However, they were saved by the arrival of Red, whose precense snapped Bruno out of his mind control, and they chose to continue their previously interrupted battle. Using his [[Vee|Eevee]]'s power to [[Devolution|change]] between [[Eeveelution|its evolutions]], Red was eventually able to defeat Bruno. Despite his loss, Bruno was still satisfied, and chose to leave.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
It was revealed that Bruno had encountered [[Koga]] while leaving Cerise Island, and the two had chosen to train together. They first appeared underground while Red and Blue were digging a tunnel to [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, Bruno and Koga encountered two of the Masked Man's minions, [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who agreed to come with them. Over the coming years, they would become known as the new Kanto Elite Four.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Bruno and the three other Elite Four members met {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] and competed in a set of [[Pokéathlon]] events against him. Bruno competed against Gold in Block Smash, using only his {{p|Machamp}} while Gold used his entire team. Although Bruno eventually had the lead, Gold managed to pick up his pace and eventually win the event. When Gold at one point mentioned Lance, Bruno referred to Lance as an old friend of his. Gold also gave Bruno some treats before leaving, and Bruno immediately fell in love with the taste of [[Rage Candy Bar]]s. At the end of the chapter, [[Whitney]] was seen sending a Bruno a boxful of Rage Candy Bars, much to his delight.

====Character====
Bruno attaches his [[Poké Ball]]s to the ends of a nunchuck. The force of him using the weapon causes his Pokémon to be released at high speeds, giving him the advantage in battles. He also has a unique Hitmonlee with arms as flexible as its legs, something previously thought to be impossible.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Bruno's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

{{TrainerPoké

|type1=Fighting
|img=Bruno Hitmonlee Adventures.png
|epnum=PS041
|epname=Ponyta Tale
|desc={{p|Hitmonlee}} is Bruno's main Pokémon that specializes in kicking. He was known to have very strong legs as he was able to destroy Bill's house in one single kick and in other violent activities. He was used in a battle against Red on [[Mt. Moon]]. During their battle, Hitmonlee was able to land hefty damage on Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], who was aiming for his knee but soon found that his elastic, spring-like legs made the feat virtually impossible. Soon afterward, after [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]] joined the fray (and the latter activated the mind-controlling wristbands that she had Bruno wear), he was used alongside the former's {{p|Jynx}} and the latter's {{p|Gastly}} to defeat [[Poli]], [[Saur]], and [[Gyara]]. Hitmonlee was later used in the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where he fought with [[Koga]]'s Ekans against [[Lance's Dragonite]], but to no avail.

Hitmonlee's known moves are {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Jump Kick}}, {{m|Rolling Kick}}, {{m|Mega Kick}}, and {{m|Shadow Ball}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only. Hitmonlee cannot legally learn Shadow Ball}}.}}

Despite a type disadvantage against Red's {{p|Gyarados}}, [[Gyara]], it was able to hold its own and deftly avoid super-effective hits from his {{type|Water}} attacks. Afterward, it used its {{m|Bind}} to keep Gyara from attacking, only to take damage from the latter's {{m|Bite}}. It then dug underground to launch a surprise attack, and this time faced off against [[Saur]]. However, before that fight could conclude, it was interrupted by a pack of {{p|Diglett}} crossing, and later Bruno's [[Elite Four]] comrades [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]]. A while later, it fought Bill and Lt. Surge on Cerise Island. He uses it this time to battle Red again. Onix was used to carry Red and the others off of Cerise Island as it was collapsing.}}

Hitmonchan specializes in punching, mostly in his elemental punch moves.

Those powers came in handy when it was able to defeat [[Poli]] with them before being subdued by [[Vee]]'s {{m|Pin Missile}}. In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, he used Machamp in the [[Pokéathlon]], being able to break two sets of ten blocks really quickly without losing stamina in the Block Smash portion. However, he was soon overtaken when {{adv|Gold}}'s team consistently aimed for the blocks' weak spots.

Bruno debuted in ''[[PM034|Clefairy's Under Training!!]]''. When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} were out in a garden, they noticed Bruno training with his {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Bruno invited them over, and the first thing he had them do was go under a waterfall. After the waterfall training, he had them break some bricks. Afterwards, Bruno had them meditate. During meditation, Clefairy, for some odd reason, decided to disrupt the training, much to everyone's ire. Afterwards, Bruno revealed himself as one of the Elite Four. Clefairy then started to mess up his hair, which resulted in Clefairy getting kicked out of the dojo.

Bruno called out his Machamp and two Onix to handle Clefairy after forcing Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan to fight each other. They almost managed to defeat Clefairy, only for Pikachu to intervene.

Bruno reappeared in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four]]'', where it was revealed that he was part of the Johto Elite Four. He, along with [[Koga]] and [[Will]], fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. It was later revealed that, after being exhausted from training, Karen decided to tell them a terrible joke, and they fell down the building after hearing it.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bruno EP001.png|thumb|230px|The shadowy person resembling Bruno from the first episode of the anime]]
* In [[EP001|the first episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]], a shadowed person greatly resembling Bruno appears, using a {{p|Nidorino}} and an {{p|Onix}}. It has never been officially confirmed whether this person really is Bruno or not, although the similarities become especially apparent in higher-quality versions of the episode.
* Bruno's hair has changed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation III]] to a longer, darker style; his skin tone has become lighter as well.
* In Generation III, Bruno's overworld sprite always looks away from the {{player}} after being defeated.
* Bruno's original sprite in [[Generation I]] and overworld sprites in [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}} show him with remarkably closed eyes (somewhat similar to [[Brock]]'s), similar to his Pokémon Adventures version, but starting in the next generation, he looks the same way he did in the anime.
* Bruno was the first member of the [[Elite Four]] who was met in the anime, excluding [[Koga]], who was not a member at the time of his appearance.
* None of Bruno's sprites have ever shown him standing up.
* Bruno, [[Lance]], [[Koga]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Grimsley]] are the only Elite Four members who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
* Bruno is the only member of the Indigo Elite Four to retain that title between Generations I and II.
** Bruno, Lance, and Koga are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]]. Of the three, Bruno is the only one to always keep his status as an Elite Four member.
* Despite taking place three years later, Bruno's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing happens to [[Lance]] and {{ga|Blue}}.
* Bruno and [[Koga]] are the only Elite Four members to have the same type specialty as a Gym Leader of their specific regions.
* Bruno has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] Exeggutor in Pokémon Stadium 2: {{m|Ancient Power}} is an Egg move, while {{m|Explosion}} is a [[Generation I]] TM.
* In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against [[Lorelei]], Bruno, and [[Agatha]] use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
====Character Profile====
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

====Appearance====
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a black cape in all of his outfits.

===GOTCHA!===
Lance briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Lance's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga:

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

Aerodactyl's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Supersonic}}, and {{m|Wing Attack}}.}}

Tyranitar made his first official appearance when he was battling Gold and easily defeating Gold's entire team until he got subdued by [[Togebo]]'s {{m|Double-Edge}}. After battling Lugia at the Whirl Islands, Tyranitar was returned to Lance as Silver was not able to fully control him.

Tyranitar's only known move is {{m|Sandstorm}}, his Ability is {{a|Sand Stream}} as a Tyranitar and {{a|Shed Skin}} as a Pupitar. He has a Quirky nature.}}

|desc=Lance summoned {{p|Lugia}} to complete his plans of creating a utopia for Pokémon where humans that abuse Pokémon or destroy their habitats would be no more. However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt. Surge|Trainers]] to fight the villain and free them. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia once again fled along with Ho-Oh.}}

[[File:Lance JBA.png|thumb|200px|Lance in Jō's Big Adventure]]
Lance meets [[Jō]] when he witnesses the [[Red Gyarados]] go on a rampage in the [[Lake of Rage]]. He assists Jō in fighting the Red Gyarados. After finding out that Ariana and Petrel were responsible for the incident in the Lake of Rage, Lance has a Tag Battle with them with Jō as his partner. Lance and Jō manage to defeat them with Dragonite's {{m|Twister}}. Lance is revealed to become the Champion of the Pokémon League and battles Jō, and Jō single-handedly defeats him with Totodile.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

Aerodactyl was very fast as it evaded an attack coming from Clefairy; however, Clefairy decided to trick Aerodactyl by luring it into a buffet. After Aerodactyl got full, it could not fly, and one punch coming from Clefairy sent it packing afterward.

None of Aerodactyl's moves are known.}}

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Lance Zensho.png|thumb|150px|Lance in Pokémon Zensho]]
Lance appeared in [[PZ10]] as the final Elite Four member whom {{Zensho|Satoshi}} battled. Lance used his Dragonite, which was eventually defeated by {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charizard}}, allowing Satoshi to face his [[rival]], {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, in one final battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character Profile===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

====Appearance====
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a black cape in all of his outfits.

===GOTCHA!===
Lance briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

After Aerodactyl got full, it could not fly, and one punch coming from Clefairy sent it packing afterward.

[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}.

==In the core series games==
===Character Profile===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In the Generation II games and their [[remake]]s, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]], where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Afterwards, he appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the [[HM]] for {{m|Whirlpool}} for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans. In the remakes, he also teams up with the player in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Ariana]] during these events. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he and Clair can also be faced in another Multi Battle at [[Dragon's Den]] during the post-game.

In {{B2W2}}, Lance represents Johto at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], taking part in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]] reveals that he challenged Lance at one point, with [[Pokémon Masters EX]] specifying that Lance was the [[Indigo League]] Champion at that time. The end result of their battle is unknown, however.

===Appearance===
Lance is often depicted as a tall young man with athletic build, carmine-colored spiky hair and brown eyes. He often seen wearing a black cape in all of his outfits.

===GOTCHA!===
Lance briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Lance was briefly seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' with his fellow Elite Four, watching the finals of the Pokémon League.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner, then attacked and destroyed Vermilion City, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him, he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei, but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo, they could only battle together for about three minutes, and with time running out, Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls, only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow, as both of them were equally matched, Lance lured the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him. The Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals. Still, Yellow's Pokémon could drive Lugia away once they evolved, and Yellow could channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating {{p|Lugia}} and working behind the scenes. As seen in a flashback in ''[[PS159|Returning Pupitar]]'', he gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a {{p|Pupitar}}.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
{{adv|Silver}} eventually returned Lance's {{p|Pupitar}}, now evolved as a {{p|Tyranitar}}, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio. In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', it was revealed that he and Clair shared the same grandparents, but Lance's father had moved to [[Viridian City]] and married a woman there.

====={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', it was revealed that Lance looked into the mind of [[Silver's Sneasel]] for clues regarding Silver's roots, but to no avail.

====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to discover what happened to its Trainer.

Gold encounters an injured Lance thereafter chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and couldn't meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not connect with Arceus until he can connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how a coward like Petrel defeated Lance, who reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently, also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to communicate with Pokémon and heal their wounds telepathically. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. Lance brainwashes the Dragonair during the contest, and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados, were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Surf}}{{tt|*|revealed on an official site only}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

|desc=Lance summoned {{p|Lugia}} to complete his plans of creating a utopia for Pokémon where humans that abuse Pokémon or destroy their habitats would be no more. However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt. Surge|Trainers]] to fight the villain and free them. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia once again fled along with Ho-Oh.}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang were on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons he threw. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals how he met Lance, but the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance runs off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

After Aerodactyl got full, it could not fly, and one punch coming from Clefairy sent it packing afterward.

None of Aerodactyl's moves are known.}}

Lance appeared in [[PZ10]] as the final Elite Four member whom {{Zensho|Satoshi}} battled. Lance used his Dragonite, which was eventually defeated by {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charizard}}, allowing Satoshi to face his [[rival]], {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, in one final battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier RGB.png|frame|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide GSC.png|frame|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* As of [[Generation VII]], Lance uses the fewest Pokémon of his specialty type out of any Elite Four member in any one battle, using only one Dragon-type, his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}, in his first battle with the player. This distinction was previously held by [[Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] who only used two Fire-type Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while Aerodactyl only learns Rock Slide since [[Generation III]].
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.
* In Round 2 of the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Lance's {{p|Feraligatr}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} both hold [[Quick Claw]]s, despite the Item Clause being in effect in battles with him. The international versions correct this by having Feraligatr hold a [[Mystic Water]] instead.
* In every game in which he is fought except for {{B2W2}}, Lance uses at least one Pokémon that knows the move {{m|Hyper Beam}} during both his initial fight and his rematch.
** In addition to Black 2 and White 2, [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only other games in which Hyper Beam is not known by every member of Lance's party.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.
* With the exception of {{B2W2}}, all of Lance's teams feature just as many if not more {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, despite Lance being a {{type|Dragon}} specialist.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle as a partner in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create a utopia for Pokémon.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].
* In Lance's {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} [[rematch]], each of his Pokémon has a double weakness.
** Additionally, his initial Champion team and his team during his [[Dragon's Den]] [[Multi Battle]] match has more Flying-types than Dragon-types, despite specializing in Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Including spin-off games, Lance has used the most [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] in all his teams throughout the games, having used {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}}.
