==Trivia==
* Chili, {{mas|Cilan}}, and {{mas|Cress}} were the last Trainers presented in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]] to become playable in the game, over six years after the game's release.
* All versions of Chili use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon) and victory with them. Those Trainers include {{mas|Cilan}}, {{mas|Cress}}, and {{mas|Arven}}.
* Chili is the only member of the {{gy|Striaton}} triplets to not match his artwork and [[sync pair scout]] pose for his {{6EX}} pose.

===Origin===
Chili's design is based on his appearance in {{pkmn|Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White}}, {{pkmn|Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2}}. Simisear is Chili's signature Pokémon in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Simisear's {{mas|Dex}} entry comes from Pokémon White.

'''Chili''' (Japanese: '''ポッド''' ''Pod'') is one of the three [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Striaton Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Trio}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
Chili appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as one of the Gym Leaders of the Striaton City Gym, alongside [[Cilan]] and [[Cress]]. This Gym is the first to be challenged by the {{player}}. Chili battles Trainers who choose {{p|Snivy}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Trainers who defeat Chili will receive the Trio Badge, along with {{TM|83|Work Up}}. At the beginning of the post-game, [[Bianca]] reveals that she intended to ask for Chili and his brothers to join the other Gym Leaders in opposing [[Team Plasma]] at [[N's Castle]], but by the time she got to them, the situation was already over.

During the two years between {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{B2W2}}, Chili, along with his brothers, retired from being Gym Leaders to train following a crushing defeat at the hands of the [[Shadow Triad]], as seen in the [[Memory Link]] flashback {{DL|Memory Link|A Triple Team}}. The three brothers can be found at their restaurant in Striaton City, where the player can, once per day, team up with one of them against the other two in a [[Multi Battle]]. Chili also participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in [[Driftveil City]].

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Chili anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Chili in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
Chili debuted in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow [[Gym Leader]]s {{an|Cilan}} and [[Cress]]. Along with Cress, he made his first appearance when Cilan brought {{Ash}} to the Gym. He began offering Ash various items off the lunch menu, who declined, exclaiming he wanted to battle the Gym Leader. Chili and his brothers introduced themselves as the Leaders and gave Ash the choice of who he wanted to battle. In a first, Ash decided to battle all three brothers. Chili was the first to battle Ash and lost against his {{AP|Tepig}}.

In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', Chili and his brothers presented Ash with the {{Badge|Trio}}. Later Chili and Cress said their goodbyes to Cilan, who decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

Cilan mentioned in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' that [[Trip]] had battled Chili and defeated his {{p|Pansear}} with his {{TP|Trip|Servine}}, earning himself the Trio Badge. He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', where he and Cress informed [[Burgundy]] that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again, so he battled her in Cilan's place and was defeated.

At some point, Chili left the Striaton Gym on a journey, after becoming frustrated with a series of consecutive losses. He met up with Cilan, Ash, and Iris in [[Driftveil City]] in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', where he challenged Cilan to a battle. However, his Pansear was quickly defeated by [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Angered, Chili blamed the loss on Pansear, and Pansear ran away. Chili left to relieve his frustration by stuffing his face when Cilan approached him and offered to help, after learning from Cress that Chili's role as Gym Leader has suffered because of his consecutive losses. Chili apologized to Pansear and helped it try to learn {{m|Solar Beam}}. After successfully learning the [[move]] and refining his techniques, his Pansear had a battle with Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} and won. Chili thanked his brother for his help and planned to return to the Striaton Gym.
[[file:Cilan Chili Cress young.png|thumb|250px|Young Chili with his brothers]]
Chili reappeared in a fantasy along with [[Cress]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]''. He also reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', and ''[[BW126|Crowning the Scalchop King!]]''. In addition, Chili made cameo appearances in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]].

In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', Chili and Cress journeyed to [[Paladin Island]] and appealed to Cilan to protect the Striaton Gym by defeating [[Morana]]. Chili had rashly wagered ownership of the Gym on Morana's victory over all three brothers in response to her accusations of his being afraid. He returned to Striaton City once Cilan had defeated Morana.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Chili also made a cameo appearances in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

====Character====
Chili, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element. In Chili's case, his element is {{t|Fire}} and so he often talks about his fiery passion when battling. His personality also fits this motif, as Chili can be described as hotheaded and reckless. In times of anger, Chili will always visit a donut shop to calm himself down. All the brothers use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors—Chili tends to accentuate words with his fists.

He is markedly confident and hopes to one day open a Fire-type [[Gym]]. However, ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' revealed that Chili had been struggling after suffering consecutive losses as [[Gym Leader]]. With the help of {{an|Cilan}}'s [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] evaluation, Chili was able to refine his battle style. He learned that his "offense is the best defense" techniques were perfectly suited for battle and went on to help {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} master {{m|Solar Beam}} for a wider [[move]] set. Chili was also able to tap into his anger as a source of strength.

==In the manga==
===Pocket Monsters BW===
In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, Chili appears along with his brothers Cilan and Cress. They are seen in [[PMBW02]], where {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon visit a restaurant owned by the three brothers. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, but fails on many occasions.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Chili's Pokémon in the Pocket Monsters BW manga.

|desc={{p|Pansear}} is the only known Pokémon of Chili's. It was sent out while he, Cilan and Cress were battling [[Red's Clefairy]]. Unfortunately, Clefairy takes the attacks the [[elemental monkeys]] were using and makes himself some green tea.}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cilan Cress Chili Adventures.png|right|thumb|260px|Chili in Pokémon Adventures]]
Chili, along with his brothers [[Cilan]] and [[Cress]], is one of the Leaders of the [[Striaton Gym]]. Despite each brother obtaining their job as Gym Leaders individually, they were all assigned to the same Gym. This decision was due to the types they specialized in being useful in teaching new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s about type matchups.

Like his brothers, Chili tends to keep his arms in a certain position. In his case, he keeps them held at his hips.

Chili debuted in ''[[PS469|Welcome to Striaton City!!]]'', where the Striaton Gym was visited by a young Trainer named {{adv|Black}}. Although only Black challenged the Gym, his friends {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} were allowed to participate as well. After completing the Gym puzzle, Black, Cheren, and Bianca faced the triplets in a three-on-three "Trio Battle". With their knowledge of type matchups, Chili and his brothers initially held the advantage, even after Chili's {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} was knocked out. Despite this, the battle ended in the Striaton Gym Leaders' loss when Black's [[Bo|Tep]] used {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}'s fallen leaves to revive its fallen teammates. With only two active Pokémon on the Striaton Gym Leaders' side when the time limit ended, Black and his friends were declared the winners by default and were each awarded a {{Badge|Trio}} as proof of their victory.

In ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', Chili, Cilan, and Cress confronted the [[Shadow Triad]] at the [[P2 Laboratory]]. The brothers were given the task of pursuing [[Team Plasma]] if the other Gym Leaders failed to protect the [[Dark Stone]] from them. The Shadow Triad proved to be very strong, and even after they [[Evolution|evolved]] their Pokémon, Chili and his brothers were unable to defeat their opponents. The brothers were rescued by [[Kelden|Keldeo]], who had been watching the battle and determined the Gym Leaders to be the better humans. The Shadow Triad took that opportunity to try and capture Keldeo, forcing its mentors, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Cobalion}}, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Virizion}}, and {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Terrakion}}, to step in and rescue it, using their swords to send both the Gym Leaders and Shadow Triad flying.
