'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], based on the [[Piers|character of the same name]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}. He forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Obstagoon}}. The sync pair can be obtained through the [[Sync pair#Sync pair scout|sync pair scout]], starting from February 18, 2021. The pair's potential can be upgraded to {{6EX}} since it was first released, which unlocks Piers's EX Style.<br />
<br />
Piers in his [[Sygna Suit]] forms a sync pair with {{form|Toxtricity|Low Key Form}} {{p|Toxtricity}}. This pair can be obtained through a Poké Fair sync pair scout beginning on November 2, 2023. This pair can be raised to {{6EX}} since it first released.<br />
<br />
==Obstagoon==<br />
Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 08001, which allows "Battle! (Piers) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the {{mas|Jukebox}}.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Piers shares his Japanese voice actor, Kishō Taniyama, with his counterpart from the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] miniseries.<br />
* Excluding {{mas|Grimsley}} & {{p|Liepard}}, whose banner had to be ended early and restarted to fix a glitch, Piers & Obstagoon are the sync pair with the shortest gap between their initial run and first rerun, at 88 days.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Piers's design is based on his appearance in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Obstagoon is Piers's signature Pokémon in the [[core series]] games. Obstagoon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Sword.<br />
<br />
Low Key Form Toxtricity is one of the Pokémon Piers uses in [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournaments]] and in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]. Low Key Form Toxtricity's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Shield.<br />

'''Giacomo''' (Japanese: '''ピーニャ''' ''Piña'') is the boss of [[Team Star]]'s Dark crew, the Segin Squad. He specializes in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Giacomo is a wannabe DJ and the creator of Team Star's theme songs.<br />
<br />
==In the core series==<br />
Before the formation of [[Team Star]], Giacomo was elected the president of the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} student council, but the student conduct policies he proposed were so unintuitive and strict that he lost all support. After only a short time in office, he was forced out by the students, who elected [[Nemona]] as his replacement. Humiliated and alone, Giacomo found solace and companionship among a group of students who were similarly victims of bullying and ostracism at the school, and they went on to create Team Star.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Star Badge, Giacomo gives out {{TM|062|Foul Play}} after defeating him.<br />

==Plot==<br />
In a locker room at [[Wyndon Stadium]], [[Marnie]] is looking forward to her one-on-one [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. Ash, however, has instead just arrived at [[Spikemuth]] with [[Goh]], a group of people calling themselves [[Team Yell]] having told them that the battle would be held there. They enter the local [[Gym]], where they find [[Piers]] rehearsing with the Maximizers band. He is dissatisfied with the interruption, but nevertheless proceeds to introduce himself, the local {{type|Dark}} [[Gym Leader]], and the band members. When Ash introduces himself, Piers recognizes him, since Ash's next World Coronation Series opponent, Marnie, is actually his sister. He's also confused of why Ash is here instead of Wyndon Stadium, where Marnie is waiting for him. This revelation causes Ash to realize that Team Yell had lied to him, and grows all the more alarmed when Goh tells him that they don't have much time to get to [[Wyndon]].<br />
<br />
Fortunately for Ash, Piers is ready to take full responsibility for Team Yell's actions and agrees to take Ash to Wyndon on his motorcycle. However, he also proceeds to drive quite slowly for safety reasons. As they approach Wyndon, Piers reveals to Ash that Team Yell is made up of Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s who are fans of Marnie and ready to support her in any way they can, like how they had lied to Ash regarding the location of his and Marnie's battle. While Ash says he'd be happy to battle at the Spikemuth Gym, Piers explains that Marnie can't use her full potential there, since the Spikemuth Gym lacks a {{cat|Power Spots|Power Spot}} required for [[Dynamax]]ing. This suits Piers just fine, since he prefers regular battles and doesn't use Dynamax, but it has also made the Spikemuth Gym unpopular and led to the town becoming almost completely deserted. Marnie had entered the World Coronation Series in the hopes of winning it to make Spikemuth more famous and revitalize it. Team Yell is hoping for this as well, but Piers blames himself for not taking on the duty himself.<br />
<br />
At Wyndon Stadium, the scheduled battle time has come and gone, but Marnie refuses the idea of winning by default. Fortunately, Ash enters the battlefield just in time to avoid being disqualified. Team Yell, being part of the audience, berates Ash for making Marnie wait, but he snaps back at them for being the reason behind his lateness in the first place. Learning this, Marnie berates her fans, since winning through default wouldn't be a real victory in her eyes. Piers also appears next to Team Yell and makes his presence known by shouting out encouragements to his sister. Both Ash and Marnie express their resolve to win, with Ash taking his place at his own end of the battlefield just as Goh joins Piers in the audience, having made it here just in time thanks to a [[Flying Taxi]].<br />
<br />
At the {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}}'s signal, Ash and Marnie send out their respective Pokémon, {{AP|Gengar}} and {{p|Grimmsnarl}}, the latter of which Piers acknowledges as Marnie's ace. Marnie makes the first move by ordering a {{m|Spirit Break}}, which powers through Gengar's {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}, but still ends up missing and being countered by an {{m|Ice Punch}}, which sends Grimmsnarl crashing to the ground. When Gengar prepares to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Grimmsnarl suddenly bows before it, catching Gengar off-guard and leaving it open for Grimmsnarl's [[signature move]], {{m|False Surrender}}, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]] on Gengar. Marnie then takes the battle to the next phase by [[recall]]ing Grimmsnarl and using her [[Dynamax Band]] on his [[Dusk Ball]], calling forth [[Gigantamax]] Grimmsnarl. In the audience, Piers explains to Goh that Dynamax battles, the one thing that cannot be done at the Spikemuth Gym, are Marnie's specialty, showing that both she and Piers have their own ways of helping their hometown. Marnie calls out for Grimmsnarl's [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Snooze}}, which Gengar, through much effort, manages to block with Dazzling Gleam. G-Max Snooze's secondary effect causes Gengar to grow drowsy, but it manages to resist falling {{status|asleep}}, to Marnie's surprise. <br />
<br />
Gengar starts phasing in and out of shadows around Grimmsnarl, which Marnie responds to by telling her Gigantamaxed partner to use {{m|Max Quake}}. The [[Max Move]] strikes Gengar, whose attempted {{m|Sludge Bomb}} counterattack ends up doing next to nothing to Gigantamax Grimmsnarl. Ash decides to even the odds and Gigantamaxes Gengar as well. Following a clash between {{m|Max Ooze}} and {{m|Max Starfall}}, Grimmsnarl's time in his Gigantamax form runs out and he reverts to his normal size. Despite this, he still successfully avoids a {{m|Max Hailstorm}} and strikes Gengar with Spirit Break, before charging in with {{m|Darkest Lariat}}. Gengar attacks with {{m|G-Max Terror}}, but the Darkest Lariat protects Grimmsnarl as he keeps charging in. Not wanting to leave Gengar vulnerable as its Gigantamax wears off, Ash has it swallow Grimmsnarl, trapping the {{pkmn|category|Bulk Up Pokémon}} in Gengar's mouth as it reverts to normal size and spits him back out. Marnie orders Grimmsnarl to use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, a [[move]] that grows in power if the user's previous move failed to hit. Ash has Gengar counterattack with Shadow Ball, which powers through Stomping Tantrum and strikes Grimmsnarl, taking him out of the fight and making Ash the winner. Both Ash and Marnie compliment their respective partners for a good fight, which the audience also joins in, congratulating Marnie's performance as well, despite her loss. With this victory, Ash climbs to rank 15 in the World Coronation Series.<br />
<br />
Later, outside the stadium, as both Ash and Marnie compliment each other, Team Yell approaches Marnie and excitedly tells her that many people were so impressed by her performance that they're now wanting to visit Spikemuth, providing hope in revitalizing their hometown. Marnie pulls up a wide smile to celebrate the occasion and shakes hands with Ash, promising to do her best in the future as well. Ash happily agrees, his victory having brought him closer to the Master Class than ever before.<br />

<br />
'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the boss of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, so Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211129041948/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/ Sword and Shield official website]</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments and the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />

In ''[[TW05|Assistant]]'', Piers was walking on the streets of [[Wyndon]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', Piers refused to take part in an interview about [[Leon]] in [[Wyndon]]. Later, he, [[Marnie]], and her {{p|Morpeko}} watched the battle between Leon and [[Raihan]] on her phone in [[Spikemuth]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', Piers was seen with the rock band Maximizers onstage. He was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]'s opening ceremony.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Piers debuted in [[PASS22]]. At [[Spikemuth]], [[Raihan]] met with Piers to discuss [[Rose]]'s decision to disqualify [[Bede]] from the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. A loud sound coming from [[Route 9 Tunnel]] interrupted their conversation, and when Piers and Raihan went to investigate, they encountered a crashed [[Flying Taxi]] and [[Leon]], who rescued the driver and the passenger, [[Sonia]]. While Raihan and Leon took the victims to a hospital in [[Hammerlocke]], Piers was entrusted with a camera Sonia meant for [[Casey Shield]]. Piers later found Casey and her friends being attacked by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who were after Sonia's camera.<br />
<br />
Piers gave the camera up but secretly removed its memory card, tricking the brothers into leaving empty handed. When Sordward and Shielbert later returned for the card, Piers, {{Henry}}, and Casey successfully uncovered their faces. The brothers attacked Henry and Casey, but were stopped by Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}}. Before Piers could finish them off, [[Marnie]] arrived and told him to avoid going too far, allowing Sordward and Shielbert to flee. Later, after regrouping with Henry's group and [[Hop]], Piers and Marnie revealed to everyone that they were siblings.<br />
<br />
In [[PASS25]], Piers and the other Galar Gym Leaders were informed by Leon and Sonia that Rose, Sordward, and Shielbert were working together. Hoping to discover whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar, the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]], only to be stopped by [[Oleana]]. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Marnie, Henry, Casey, Bede, and Hop headed up an elevator to meet Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose announced his intention to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Piers and the others traveled to the Hammerlocke [[Energy Plant]], where they ran into Leon's group and found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.<br />

[[File:PiersDarknessAblaze187.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Piers]]<br />
{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the first [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum {{EV}}s invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, so Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211129041948/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/ Sword and Shield official website]</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments and the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

<br />
In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', Piers was seen with the rock band Maximizers onstage. He was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]'s opening ceremony.<br />

Piers debuted in [[PASS22]]. At [[Spikemuth]], [[Raihan]] met with Piers to discuss [[Rose]]'s decision to disqualify [[Bede]] from the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. A loud sound coming from [[Route 9 Tunnel]] interrupted their conversation, and when Piers and Raihan went to investigate, they encountered a crashed [[Flying Taxi]] and [[Leon]], who rescued the driver and the passenger, [[Sonia]]. While Raihan and Leon took the victims to a hospital in [[Hammerlocke]], Piers was entrusted with a camera Sonia meant for [[Casey Shield]]. Piers later found Casey and her friends being attacked by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who were after Sonia's camera.<br />
<br />
Piers gave the camera up but secretly removed its memory card, tricking the brothers into leaving empty handed. When Sordward and Shielbert later returned for the card, Piers, {{Henry}}, and Casey successfully uncovered their faces. The brothers attacked Henry and Casey, but were stopped by Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}}. Before Piers could finish them off, [[Marnie]] arrived and told him to avoid going too far, allowing Sordward and Shielbert to flee. Later, after regrouping with Henry's group and [[Hop]], Piers and Marnie revealed to everyone that they were siblings.<br />
<br />
In [[PASS25]], Piers and the other Galar Gym Leaders were informed by Leon and Sonia that Rose, Sordward, and Shielbert were working together. Hoping to discover whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar, the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]], only to be stopped by [[Oleana]]. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Marnie, Henry, Casey, Bede, and Hop headed up an elevator to meet Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose announced his intention to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Piers and the others traveled to the Hammerlocke [[Energy Plant]], where they ran into Leon's group and found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:PiersDarknessAblaze187.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Piers]]<br />
{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the first [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum {{EV}}s invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

'''Marnie''' (Japanese: '''マリィ''' ''Mary'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Bede]], and [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She eventually replaces her older brother [[Piers]] as the [[Gym Leader]] of her [[hometown]] [[Spikemuth]]. As the Spikemuth Gym Leader, she gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Marnie is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. She is a stoic but well-mannered girl who wants to become {{pkmn|Champion}} to support her hometown [[Spikemuth]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] is her {{p|Morpeko}}, who can be seen [[walking Pokémon|following her around]] outside of battle. She is constantly followed by her fan club, [[Team Yell]]. She can first be seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] while the player and [[Hop]] register for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. The player first meets Marnie in the lobby of [[Motostoke]]'s Budew Drop Inn, where she scolds a group of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s for causing trouble for the player, Hop, and other participants before introducing herself and apologizing on her behalf. After the player returns to Motostoke, the player has their first battle with her in the same lobby. The next day, Marnie will give them a copy of [[Kabu]]'s [[League Card]] and two [[Burn Heal]]s before seeing them off. The player later meets Marnie and Morpeko at [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where she learns her Morpeko has taken a liking to the player, and she gives them a copy of her League Card before officially acknowledging them as a rival.<br />
<br />
Later, on the outskirts of Spikemuth on {{rt|9|Galar}}, Marnie will show the player an alternate way into town but insist on a battle before they can enter. After being defeated, Marnie gives them [[Piers]]'s League Card and leads them inside, claiming she'll get her revenge in the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]]. During their Spikemuth Gym Mission, the player will learn that Team Yell consists of the Gym's {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, and that they blocked the main entrance to cut down on Marnie's competition. They also learn that the Gym Leader, Piers, is Marnie's older brother. After Piers is defeated, Marnie arrives to congratulate both her brother and her rival on the match and tells Piers she knows he plans to retire his title after the Champion Cup. Piers planned on offering the position to her, but Marnie refuses, telling him she can't be a Gym Leader if she becomes Champion. The player leaves Spikemuth while Marnie and Piers have their Gym Battle.<br />
<br />
The player next meets Marnie as their first opponent in the semi-finals of the [[Wyndon Stadium]] Champion Cup. Marnie says she was expecting them, and that despite what they've been through together, she declares she's going to go all-out. Marnie is revealed to have a [[Dynamax Band]], unlike her brother, and uses it to [[Gigantamax]] the newest addition to her team, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}. After being defeated, Marnie thanks the player for the battle, saying that she enjoyed putting on a show for the crowd, but tells the player she hasn't yet decided who to root for just yet. After the semi-finals, the player and Hop meet Marnie, Piers, and Team Yell in front of the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel, who agree to help them look for [[Leon]]. While the player battles {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} Eric, Marnie will lead Team Yell in cheering for the player, boosting their Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]]. As the player and the others reach [[Rose Tower]], Marnie and Piers will stay behind to hold off any other interlopers. Marnie later appears in the waiting room of Wyndon Stadium after Piers loses his match with [[Raihan]] in the Champion Cup finals, telling the player she'll be cheering for them.<br />
<br />
After the player becomes Champion, they'll find Marnie in one of the rooms of the Budew Drop Inn, talking to her Morpeko. She attempts to practice smiling by pushing up the corners of her mouth, but when she is caught by the player, she runs off embarrassed. The player can then find her in Spikemuth, where she reveals she did take up Piers's offer, taking his place as Gym Leader. The player can train with her in a [[rematch]] here once daily. After being defeated for the first time, she will give the player a copy of her rare League Card. After obtaining this Card, they can encounter her in rematches in {{DL|Wyndon Stadium|Champion tournaments}} at [[Wyndon Stadium]], as well. Here, she will use the same team, only she will also Gigantamax her Grimmsnarl once more.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Marnie's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"As a child, she was timid and a bit of a crybaby. However, she became more cheerful as she played with {{p|Morpeko|the Pokémon}} she received from [[Piers|her brother]], and her talents as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} also grew greatly. She joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] because she wishes to breathe life back into her dilapidated hometown, but she says she has been somewhat distracted by the boutiques throughout Galar. Though many in [[Spikemuth]] see her as a local celebrity, she herself has no interest in pursuing fame. However, she says she does appreciate the support of [[Team Yell]], her personal cheering squad."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"She was appointed as the new [[Gym Leader]] of Spikemuth by her brother Piers. Piers caught Morpeko and gave it to her when she was five. She still finds herself at the mercy of Morpeko's {{a|Hunger Switch|mood swings}} even now. The local dialect of Spikemuth has a distinct kick to it, and many of Marnie's fans have started mimicking her. Marnie won't change her expression even when she gets angry, but once something sets her off, she stays angry for a long time."<br />

===Main series===<br />
Marnie first appeared in [[JN099]], where she was revealed to be {{Ash}}'s next opponent in the [[World Coronation Series]]. Once Ash arrived after going to see her in [[Spikemuth]], the battle got underway with Marnie using her {{p|Grimmsnarl}} to battle {{AP|Gengar}}. After a tough battle, Ash emerged the winner, causing Marnie's ranking to go down.<br />
====Character====<br />
As revealed by Piers, one of Marnie's goals for entering the [[World Coronation Series]] is to help popularize [[Spikemuth]] and demonstrate to the world that it has great Trainers. Marnie's personality is somewhat similar to her counterpart in the games. She is also shown to be an excellent Trainer, being able to reach one of the highest ranks in the championship.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Marnie debuted in ''[[PASS06|Watch Out!! Strong Rivals]]''. She was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. Marnie, {{Casey}}, and [[Hop]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.<br />
<br />
In [[PASS18]], Marnie appeared at the [[Ballonlea Stadium]] to explain Casey's absence during the [[Route 9 Tunnel]] [[Dynamax]] incident to clear her of suspicion. She also mentioned that due to [[Allister]]'s absence, she had been forced to battle against [[Bea]] instead for her fourth Badge. Later, after obtaining her sixth Gym Badge, Marnie met with Hop in front of [[Circhester Stadium]]. She asked Hop to come with her to [[Spikemuth]], stating that it would be too dangerous for them and [[Henry Sword|Henry]] to enter the town by themselves. <br />
<br />
In [[PASS24]], after arriving in Spikemuth, Marnie and Hop found [[Piers]] battling [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Marnie stopped her brother from finishing Sordward and Shielbert off, allowing them to escape. After regrouping with Henry's group, Piers was informed by [[Leon]] and [[Sonia]] that [[Rose]], Sordward, and Shielbert were working together. Hoping to discover whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar, the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]], but were stopped by [[Oleana]]. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Marnie, Henry, Casey, [[Bede]], and Hop headed up an elevator to meet Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose announced his intention to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random.<br />

<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game based on the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. Players collect and build their own deck from a large range of Figures with different characteristics. For the basic rules of the game, see [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game#Mechanics|Pokémon Trading Figure Game→Mechanics]].<br />
<br />
Players are given a Deck Case that holds their Figures (including fusion materials), Plates, and saved deck configurations. Decks and Figures have a maximum on their capacity that can be expanded by spending Gems. The deck limit will increase by one and the Figure limit by 10 for 10 Gems each. There is a {{tt|2,000|1,000 before update 4.0}} limit on Figures.<br />
<br />
Players may transfer their game data to another device. Within the Options menu, setting a transfer password will generate a transfer ID; when the password and ID are entered into the Game Data Transfer option of another device, the player's save data and Gems will be moved to the new device. After data is transferred from a device, a new save file under a new account must be made. If data is transferred from iOS to Android or vice versa, Gems will not be transferred.<br />
<br />
===Changes from the Trading Figure Game===<br />
* {{TFG|Trainer card}}s are replaced by Plates, which have no chance of failing; Trainer figures are removed because of this.<br />
* Figures of evolved Pokémon may be evolved, increasing the damage of the evolved Pokemon's moves.<br />
* Figures use the Pokémon's types from the Pokémon games rather than the types from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br />
* {{TFG|Pokémon Power}}s have been renamed {{Abilities}}.<br />
* A figure's action wheel can be altered by leveling up the figure. The size of actions can be increased, thus decreasing the size of the Miss section of that figure.<br />
* Version 5.0.6 added Ultra Space, an out-of-play area that acts differently than the normal area where figures removed from play go. Figures in Ultra Space retain any markers and Special Conditions and do not decrease the number of turns left for Wait or Mega Evolution.<br />
<br />
===Fusion===<br />
Fusion is the process by which Figures are leveled up. Fusing a Figure with fusion materials or other Figures will increase the fused Figure's experience and/or chain level. Fusion costs Coins, which are obtained from beating opponents or selling Figures, Plates, and fusion materials to the Shop.<br />
<br />
There are four types of fusion materials: Rare Metals [[File:Pokemon Duel Rare Metal R.png|25px]], Cubes [[File:Pokemon Duel Cube R.png|25px]], Ingots [[File:Pokemon Duel Ingot R.png|25px]], and Carmonites [[File:Pokemon Duel Carmonite.png|25px]].<br />
* Rare Metals are used to grant large sums of experience points to Figures to level them up, up to Level 5. The higher the rarity of the Rare Metal, the more experience points it will grant:<br />
** Common Rare Metals give 500 EXP<br />
** Uncommon Rare Metals give 1,000 EXP<br />
** Rare Rare Metals give 4,500 EXP<br />
** EX Rare Metals give 10,500 EXP<br />
** UX Rare Metals give 51,000 EXP<br />
* Cubes are used to grant Chain Points, otherwise available only by fusing Figures with the same ID. Cubes can only be used on Figures with the same rarity (for example, EX Figures need EX Cubes).<br />
* Ingots are intended to be sold directly to the Exchange Coins section of the shop. The higher the rarity of the Ingot, the higher value for which it can be sold. If used for fusion, all rarities give only one EXP.<br />
* Carmonites can only be used on Figures that are at least Level 5. Using Carmonite unlocks the Level cap to Level 10. Each additional Level gained in this way allows for a wheel piece to be increased by 1 while another wheel piece (that is greater than 4) is decreased by 1. The greater the rarity of the Figure, the greater the amount of Carmonite needed to level up (10, 20, 50, 100 and 150 needed for Common, Uncommon, Rare, EX and UX Figures, respectively).<br />

===League Match===<br />
Players may challenge other players in the League Match in real time. Unlike other battle formats, there is no Energy cost to battling in the League Match. Winning a match awards points that go toward both the monthly ranking and League promotion (if not at the highest League already), a Time Booster, and 3 Key Fragments that go toward a Locked Booster. Losing a match will provide the player only 1 Key Fragment towards a Locked Booster — this may only happen up to three times per day. Each Locked Booster requires 10 Key Fragments to open, and contains two Figures and one Cube, Rare Metal, or Ingot (prior to Version 3.0.7, it gave contents of a Purple or better Booster). The Figures available are based on the League that the player is at. If the player is promoted to a new League and is awarded a Booster Ticket, the contents of the Booster are based on the League the player was at previously.<br />
<br />
Time Boosters come in different colors; each color gives a certain reward. <!--As of Version 4.0.0, White, Blue, Orange, Moss, Gold, Rainbow, and Black Boosters are available. Black Boosters were released in Version 4.0.0.--> Although the player needs to wait for a certain period of time to open the Booster, the player may choose to instead spend Gems equivalent to 10 times the amount of time (in hours) to open the Booster immediately.<br />

<sup>[a]</sup> Orange (and Moss as of Version 3.0.6) Boosters are unique from the other Boosters in that they are available for a short period of time and offer rewards relevant to the Gym Event that is underway.<br />
<br />
===Gym Cups===<br />
An alternative to the League match, Gym Cups slightly change the rules of the game to make different figures more powerful than they would be in league play. Typically a gym boosts two different types, one type is given an MP boost, which increases movement of all figures of that type (up to a max of 3 MP), and another type that is "super effective" against the first type is given a damage boost of +20 to all white and gold attacks. Gyms last for a set amount of time during which players have an opportunity to win rewards for each victory. There is also a "win-streak" bonus where players also get additional random rewards for win streaks of 1 to 11 wins in a row. If a player reaches an 11 win streak they get an "invincible trophy".<br />

===Room Match===<br />
Another alternative to the League Match, the Room Match allows for players to challenge nearby opponents by turning on their location services on their mobile device. Players may choose to participate in a public or private match. Private matches require the guest to know the 3-number passcode that the host sets. Previously, Room Matches do not reward any experience. However, starting in Version 4.0.0, depending on the hall selected, battles may award experience and points, even if the player loses.<br />
<br />
From version 5.0.6 on, League restrictions are available to the Room creator. Same League Only allows only players within the same League as the creator into the Room, while Same League or Lower also allows players in lower Leagues.<br />

==Plot==<br />
[[File:Carmonte Island.png|thumb|Carmonte Island]]<br />
Aiming to become the Hotel King, the player arrives on [[Carmonte Island]], an artificial island housing a city of resorts. The island hosts the Pokémon Figure Games (PFG) World Tournament, where its top prize is the symbol of Carmonte Island, [[Jewel Tower]]. The tournament is hosted by the tower's current owner, [[Master Rosé]].<br />
<br />
Along their way to the island, the player encounters and befriends [[Luca]], the scion of a prestigious family. During the tournament, the player collects figures and plates, partners with an AI named [[Carlo]], and challenges various NPCs to a duel in order to reach the boss in the highest level. In the defeat of each boss, the player will receive an emblem as a testimony to their victory.<br />
<br />
After befriending a popular idol named [[Sharon]], the player is stalked by members of the Roger family, an influential organization on Carmonte Island.<br />
<br />
Only the first six hotels were released prior to the game's discontinuation.<br />

<br />
'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the boss of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, so Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211129041948/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/ Sword and Shield official website]</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments and the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Piers debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}<!--[[PASS22]]-->. At [[Spikemuth]], [[Raihan]] met with Piers to discuss [[Rose]]'s decision to disqualify [[Bede]] from the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. A loud sound coming from [[Route 9 Tunnel]] interrupted their conversation, and when Piers and Raihan went to investigate, they encountered a crashed [[Flying Taxi]] and [[Leon]], who rescued the driver and the passenger, [[Sonia]]. While Raihan and Leon took the victims to a hospital in [[Hammerlocke]], Piers was entrusted with a camera Sonia meant for [[Casey Shield]]. Piers later found Casey and her friends being attacked by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who were after Sonia's camera.<br />
<br />
Piers gave the camera up but secretly removed its memory card, tricking the brothers into leaving empty handed. When Sordward and Shielbert later returned for the card, Piers, {{Henry}}, and Casey successfully uncovered their faces. The brothers attacked Henry and Casey, but were stopped by Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}}. Before Piers could finish them off, [[Marnie]] arrived and told him to avoid going too far, allowing Sordward and Shielbert to flee. Later, after regrouping with Henry's group and [[Hop]], Piers and Marnie revealed to everyone that they were siblings.<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:PiersDarknessAblaze187.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Piers]]<br />
{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the first [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum {{EV}}s invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, so Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments and the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the first [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum {{EV}}s invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

'''Marnie''' (Japanese: '''マリィ''' ''Mary'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Bede]], and [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She eventually replaces her older brother [[Piers]] as the [[Gym Leader]] of her [[hometown]] [[Spikemuth]]. As the Spikemuth Gym Leader, she gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Marnie is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. She is a stoic but well-mannered girl who wants to become {{pkmn|Champion}} to support her hometown [[Spikemuth]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] is her {{p|Morpeko}}, who can be seen [[walking Pokémon|following her around]] outside of battle. She is constantly followed by her fan club, [[Team Yell]]. She can first be seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] while the player and [[Hop]] register for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. The player first meets Marnie in the lobby of [[Motostoke]]'s Budew Drop Inn, where she scolds a group of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s for causing trouble for the player, Hop, and other participants before introducing herself and apologizing on her behalf. After the player returns to Motostoke, the player has their first battle with her in the same lobby. The next day, Marnie will give them a copy of [[Kabu]]'s [[League Card]] and two [[Burn Heal]]s before seeing them off. The player later meets Marnie and Morpeko at [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where she learns her Morpeko has taken a liking to the player, and she gives them a copy of her League Card before officially acknowledging them as a rival.<br />
<br />
Later, on the outskirts of Spikemuth on {{rt|9|Galar}}, Marnie will show the player an alternate way into town but insist on a battle before they can enter. After being defeated, Marnie gives them [[Piers]]'s League Card and leads them inside, claiming she'll get her revenge in the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]]. During their Spikemuth Gym Mission, the player will learn that Team Yell consists of the Gym's {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, and that they blocked the main entrance to cut down on Marnie's competition. They also learn that the Gym Leader, Piers, is Marnie's older brother. After Piers is defeated, Marnie arrives to congratulate both her brother and her rival on the match and tells Piers she knows he plans to retire his title after the Champion Cup. Piers planned on offering the position to her, but Marnie refuses, telling him she can't be a Gym Leader if she becomes Champion. The player leaves Spikemuth while Marnie and Piers have their Gym Battle.<br />
<br />
The player next meets Marnie as their first opponent in the semi-finals of the [[Wyndon Stadium]] Champion Cup. Marnie says she was expecting them, and that despite what they've been through together, she declares she's going to go all-out. Marnie is revealed to have a [[Dynamax Band]], unlike her brother, and uses it to [[Gigantamax]] the newest addition to her team, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}. After being defeated, Marnie thanks the player for the battle, saying that she enjoyed putting on a show for the crowd, but tells the player she hasn't yet decided who to root for just yet. After the semi-finals, the player and Hop meet Marnie, Piers, and Team Yell in front of the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel, who agree to help them look for [[Leon]]. While the player battles {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} Eric, Marnie will lead Team Yell in cheering for the player, boosting their Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]]. As the player and the others reach [[Rose Tower]], Marnie and Piers will stay behind to hold off any other interlopers. Marnie later appears in the waiting room of Wyndon Stadium after Piers loses his match with [[Raihan]] in the Champion Cup finals, telling the player she'll be cheering for them.<br />
<br />
After the player becomes Champion, they'll find Marnie in one of the rooms of the Budew Drop Inn, talking to her Morpeko. She attempts to practice smiling by pushing up the corners of her mouth, but when she is caught by the player, she runs off embarrassed. The player can then find her in Spikemuth, where she reveals she did take up Piers's offer, taking his place as Gym Leader. The player can train with her in a [[rematch]] here once daily. After being defeated for the first time, she will give the player a copy of her rare League Card. After obtaining this Card, they can encounter her in rematches in {{DL|Wyndon Stadium|Champion tournaments}} at [[Wyndon Stadium]], as well. Here, she will use the same team, only she will also Gigantamax her Grimmsnarl once more.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Marnie's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"As a child, she was timid and a bit of a crybaby. However, she became more cheerful as she played with {{p|Morpeko|the Pokémon}} she received from [[Piers|her brother]], and her talents as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} also grew greatly. She joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] because she wishes to breathe life back into her dilapidated hometown, but she says she has been somewhat distracted by the boutiques throughout Galar. Though many in [[Spikemuth]] see her as a local celebrity, she herself has no interest in pursuing fame. However, she says she does appreciate the support of [[Team Yell]], her personal cheering squad."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"She was appointed as the new [[Gym Leader]] of Spikemuth by her brother Piers. Piers caught Morpeko and gave it to her when she was five. She still finds herself at the mercy of Morpeko's {{a|Hunger Switch|mood swings}} even now. The local dialect of Spikemuth has a distinct kick to it, and many of Marnie's fans have started mimicking her. Marnie won't change her expression even when she gets angry, but once something sets her off, she stays angry for a long time."<br />

[[File:MarnieSwordShield200.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Marnie]]<br />
{{main|Marnie (Sword & Shield 169)}}<br />
'''Marnie''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}}. It later appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Shield}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows both players to shuffle their hands to the bottom of their decks. If so, the card user draws five cards and their opponent draws four.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Marnie's uniform number is "960", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 苦労 ''kurō'', meaning "hardship", or 黒 ''kuro'', meaning "black".<br />
* Marnie and [[Piers]] are the first [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Marnie is the only Gym Leader who doesn't use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Leader" or "Gym Leader" when battled at a [[Gym]].<br />

[[File:Bandai Jumbo2 Back.jpg|thumb|230px|{{ga|Red}} battling his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]<br />
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the [[Pokémon games]] that is well known to the {{player|protagonist}} and has similar skills, goals, and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the protagonist's quest, having a role in several of the games' events and often challenges them in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===Core series===<br />
[[File:Rivals Masters Trailer.png|thumb|250px|From left to right: Hugh, Silver, and Wally]]<br />
In the [[core series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This character class appeared beginning in [[Generation I]] and in every core series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, often being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually, they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]].<br />
<br />
After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that is strong against the one the player chose at the beginning of the game.<br />
<br />
Players are able to choose a different name for Blue, Silver, Barry, Hugh, and Trace. In [[Hoenn]]- and [[Kalos]]-based games, the player character not chosen will serve as a rival.<br />
<br />
The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer|{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer]]s'' (Generations III-V) or ''Pokémon Trainers'' (Generation VI onward).<br />
<br />
Additionally, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue" during the Champion battle and [[rematch]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{ga|Trace}} will also use the "Champion" Trainer class during the Champion battle, but, unlike Blue, does not use it in the rematch. In addition to the main characters, [[Raihan]] and [[Leon]] have a long-standing rivalry relationship, this rivalry is carried over to several other medias.<br />
<br />

==In the anime==<br />
===Main series===<br />
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Paul, his main ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' rival]]<br />
Various rivals for the main characters have also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.<br />
<br />
;Ash's rivals<br />
* {{Ash}}'s main rival in the [[original series]] was {{Gary}}. They were close when they were younger, but their friendship ended when they argued over an old {{i|Poké Ball}} and broke it. Eventually, Gary gained some respect for Ash, and after losing to him in the [[Silver Conference]], they became friends again altogether.<br />
[[File:Ash and Gladion.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Gladion, his main ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' rival]]<br />
* [[Paul]] was Ash's main rival for the duration of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. When they met, Paul despised Ash due to his approach to [[Pokémon training]] and [[friendship]], constantly insulting him every time they crossed paths. However, like Gary, he eventually grew to respect Ash after losing to him in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].<br />
** {{an|Barry}} was Ash's secondary Sinnoh rival. Unlike Ash's other major rivals, the two have a friendly rivalry, though Barry would frequently comment that he believed he was much stronger than Ash would ever be.<br />
** Ash's minor rivals include [[Nando]] and [[Conway]] who, while they battled Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other rivals.<br />
* [[Trip]] was Ash's only unfriendly rival in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. The rivalry formed when Trip found out that Ash was from Kanto, a region Trip thinks very little of. Trip believed Ash to be a redneck from the boonies who needed to go back to the basics of Pokémon, causing a heated rivalry. However, they were shown to respect each other to some extent in various episodes. Like with Gary and Paul, the two became friends when Ash beat Trip at the [[Vertress Conference]].<br />
* {{an|Tierno}} was Ash's primary rival for the first part of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', with {{an|Trevor}} serving as a minor secondary rival. During the second part of his Kalos journey, however, Ash struck up serious rivalries with [[Alain]] and [[Sawyer]]. Alain wished to test the unique power of Ash and his {{AP|Greninja}}, while Sawyer looked up to Ash and made it his goal to surpass him.<br />
* {{an|Gladion}} was Ash's main rival in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. Ash and Gladion's rivalry was mutually respectful from the start, with Gladion recognizing Ash's strength almost immediately. Gladion eventually became more dedicated to surpassing Ash after witnessing his and his Pikachu's aptitude for [[Z-Move]]s, leading him to undertake the [[island challenge]]. Though Gladion is much calmer than Ash, he and Ash both share a deep, internal passion for intense battling.<br />
* Ash also has friendly rivalries with [[Ritchie]], {{jo|Harrison}}, [[Morrison]], {{ho|Tyson}}, {{si|Tobias}}, [[Stephan]], {{an|Bianca}}, [[Virgil]], {{un|Cameron}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, [[Hau]], and [[Bea]].<br />
* In the {{pkmn|movie}}s, Ash has had rivalries with [[Rafe]] and [[Cross]].<br />
<br />
;Other characters' rivals<br />
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] have unfriendly rivalries with [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively.<br />
* {{an|May}} has friendly rivalries with [[Drew]] and [[Solidad]], and an unfriendly rivalry with [[Harley]].<br />
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|370px|Dawn's recurring rivals]]<br />
* {{an|Dawn}} has friendly rivalries with [[Zoey]] and {{si|Kenny}}, and unfriendly rivalries with [[Ursula]] and [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. She also has [[Nando]] as a minor rival.<br />
* [[Johanna]] had a friendly rivalry with [[Lila]] when they were younger. Lila was the first person to defeat Johanna in a [[Contest Battle]], but she eventually gave up {{pkmn|Coordinator|coordinating}} and became a {{pkmn|Stylist}}.<br />
* {{an|Iris}} has an unfriendly rivalry with [[Georgia]], which comes from the fact that Iris wants to become a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]] while Georgia focuses on defeating {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.<br />
* {{an|Cilan}} has an unfriendly rivalry with [[Burgundy]], which comes from when he defeated her at the [[Striaton Gym]], and also from Cilan's better reputation as a {{pkmn|Connoisseur}}, though Cilan frequently comments on how he looks forward to seeing Burgundy's growth the next time they meet.<br />
* [[Stephan]] engaged in an unfriendly rivalry with [[Montgomery]] during the [[Clubsplosion]].<br />
* {{an|Serena}} has friendly rivalries with {{an|Shauna}}, [[Miette]], [[Nini]], and {{an|Aria}}.<br />
* {{an|Sophocles}} has a rivalry with [[Horacio]]. While they were initially unfriendly, they became more respectful towards each other after an encounter in the [[Vast Poni Canyon]].<br />
* The rivalry between [[Leon]] and [[Raihan]] is introduced from the battle of the two Trainers in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]''.<br />
<br />
===I Choose You!===<br />
[[Cross]] could be said to be {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s rival in the alternate storyline depicted in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. In a similar manner to Paul, Cross abandoned his {{AP|Charmander}}, deeming it to be too weak, and allowing Ash to catch it. Their relationship could even be said to be antagonistic, with Cross being even more aggressive than Paul. Cross's aggressiveness and thirst for power is derived from an inferiority complex, from being able to see {{p|Ho-Oh}}, but not being chosen as the Rainbow Hero. In the end, despite losing to Ash and his former Charmander, who by that point had evolved into Charizard, he still attempted to steal the [[Rainbow Wing]] in order to battle Ho-Oh and prove himself as the strongest Trainer.<br />

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===<br />
[[File:Hop Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Hop in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* {{Ash}} has at least one species of Pokémon from the same [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] as each of his major rivals. {{Gary}} captured a {{p|Krabby}} and uses a {{p|Blastoise}}, [[Paul]] uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Tranquill}}, [[Alain]] uses a {{p|Charizard}} and an {{p|Unfezant}}, and {{an|Gladion}} uses a {{p|Lycanroc}}. At various times in the anime, this is used as part of the plot, such as the comparison between Ash's Krabby and Gary's Krabby in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' and Paul's Torterra serving as mentor to Ash's Grotle in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.<br />
* Powerful enemies in the [[Battle Royale]]s of {{g|Rumble}} and {{g|Rumble Blast}}&mdash;chosen from Miis&mdash;are called rivals as well.<br />
* In every [[generation]], at least one of the player's rivals can be battled at the [[Pokémon League]] and/or [[Victory Road]].<br />
* According to an interview with [[Junichi Masuda]], the rivals have become less antagonistic due to the following reason: ''"I think the biggest reason that rivals were more of a jerk in the early days is that we were just limited in what we could express with the pixel graphics. There's not much that you can do with that kind of little sprite on the screen, so we worked harder to characterize them through dialogue and give them certain personalities. Also, because it's just dialogue and there's not a whole lot going on on the screen, it doesn't give as harsh of an impression even if they're jerks, I think. Now we have HD graphics and the visuals are much more impressive. If you also made him a jerk, the impression would be a lot stronger on players. Another thing, just my own personal take, is that it feels that people with those kinds of personalities these days are just not as accepted by players as they were back then."''<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-dev-explains-why-your-rivals-arent-jerks-a/1100-6462397/ GameSpot interview about rivals]</ref><br />

:''"*sigh*... So you're finally here, huh?"''<br />
:''"See, I'm...I'm really not a great Gym Leader. Figured that's why nobody was comin' to challenge me."''<br />
:''"I have good ears, so I overheard the whole thing about the city bein' shut up. When I was alone, it was like my soul was weepin'."''<br />
:''"This is a simple Gym Stadium. We can't even [[Dynamax]] our Pokémon, but well... I still hope you enjoy the battle."''<br />
:''"Now then..."''<br />
:''"I'm the Gym Leader of Spikemuth, Piers, the {{type|Dark}} [[Type expert|user]]!"''<br />
:''"You wanna challenge me, even though you know you'll lose? Then this song's for you, foolish Trainer!"''<br />
:''"Get ready for a mosh pit with me and my party! Spikemuth, it's time to rock!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out {{p|Scrafty}}<br />
:''"Everyone, cheer on my Pokémon! Let's do it, Scrafty! {{a|Intimidate}} the opponent!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out {{p|Malamar}}<br />
:''"Malamar's gonna mess you all up with its {{a|Contrary}} Ability!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out {{p|Skuntank}}<br />
:''"Everyone's gonna stink, but who cares! Go, Skuntank! Use your {{m|Sucker Punch}} and {{m|Toxic}}!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out {{p|Obstagoon}}<br />
:''"Time to meet another member of my crew! Face the {{m|Obstruct|proud, high roar}} of my Obstagoon!"''<br />
<br />
* Before sending out his last Pokémon<br />
:''"I don't do encores, get it? Not songs... Not moves... Not Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* Commanding Obstagoon to use {{m|Throat Chop}}<br />
:''"Here's a number I had saved just for this! You lot in the stands better cheer me on!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"Me an' my team gave it our best. Let's meet up again for a battle some time..."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"I'm glad we were able to battle. Seems like my Pokémon feel the same way."''<br />
:''"Here's your {{badge|Dark}}."''<br />
:''"Here's a uniform, too... I’ve actually been thinkin' about just sellin' them at my concerts."''<br />
:''"My little sis [[Marnie]]'s gonna challenge me next, I bet."''<br />
:''"Do you want to go back to the reception area?"''<br />
:''"So you were watchin', Sis... You won't learn anythin' from seein' me lose."''<br />
:''"That right? That reminds me. Marnie, there's somethin' I wanted to tell you."''<br />
:''"I want you to take over the Gym here in Spikemuth as its Gym Leader."''<br />
:''"Good point. In that case, let your big bro see if you have the skill to be a {{pkmn|Champion}}!"''<br />

:''"Kid's sure got a mouth on him, huh? If you were that noisy durin' battle, you'd unleash a whole new level of power, you know."''<br />
:''"Judgin' by appearances? No wonder you lost to {{player|your mate}}."''<br />
:''"If you're lookin' for [[Leon|the Champion]], I saw him headin' to [[Rose Tower]]."''<br />
:''"Dunno what he's up to, but I ran into him at the monorail platform. He said to tell you that he had somethin' to do at Rose Tower, so he'd be late to your dinner."''<br />
:''"Sheesh... What rude siblings, always so demandin' of others."''<br />
:''"Though I s'ppose... It's a real problem for me, too, if the Finals are held up for any reason. And I don't really hate the two of you little runts. You were good enough to beat me, after all."''<br />
:''"So I think I'll invite [[Team Yell]] along, and we'll all have ourselves a bit of fun. Shall we?"''<br />
<br />
* Outside the hotel<br />
:''"We decided that Team Yell will cheer you on, <player>. Let's help out together."''<br />
:''"Tch. This isn't good! But I got this one!"''<br />
:''"<player>! Team Yell's yellin' will handle this!"''<br />
:''"For now, we should try to head to the plaza together, right?"''<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"All right, let's all work together and head for Rose Tower."''<br />
::'''No''': ''"Hmm. You should be able to get to the plaza yourself, right?"''<br />
<br />
* Upon arriving at the plaza<br />
:''"Let's find Oleana's League staff member. That bad one was wearin' those lame shades, right?"''<br />
<br />
* If talked to before finding the League staff member<br />
:''"That bad League staff member was wearin' some awful shades. And the key to findin’ anyone is to just ask everyone you meet!"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} Eric for the first time<br />
:''"Seems like nobody's seen that bad League staff member anywhere else. I bet they're hidin' somewhere nearby."''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Eric for the second time<br />
:''"Makes sense for a cornered person to seek out the tightest hidin' place, I guess. Don’t s'ppose you got a box lyin' around?"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Eric for the third time<br />
:''"Guess that wraps up [[Oleana]]'s little game. Course, I’m not one to talk, I guess. Team Yell did their fair share of lame tricks... Anyway, let's head to the station."''<br />
:''"Team Yell, go find [[Hop]]! We'll corner that League staff member at the station together!"''<br />
<br />
* {{DL|Wyndon|Wyndon Station}}<br />
:''"You did a crackin' job of cornerin’ that bad League staff member, <player>. Let me sing you a song fittin' of your rockin' deeds!"''<br />
:''"The only thing a humble singer can do is sing a humble song. ♪"''<br />
:''"Maybe I can't cheer someone on just with the tunes I play. ♪"''<br />
:''"Maybe my songs don't make anyone happy. Maybe I can't help. ♪"''<br />
:''"But still the only thing I can do is sing—sing my humble song. ♪"''<br />
:''"<player>! Hop! Now’s your chance! Go! Get outta here!"''<br />
<br />
* Outside [[Rose Tower]]<br />
:''"Times like this—when tension and passion run high—remind me of Spikemuth in the old days. Some right wild concerts we had back then. But no encores!"''<br />
:''"Wait, you're still here?"''<br />
:''"You better get goin'! I'll send some support your way with a yell!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Wyndon Stadium]] (Champion Cup Locker Room)<br />
:''"I'd say I aim to win this thing... And I'll do it without usin' Dynamax, to help everyone in Spikemuth reclaim their pride... and to see'em smile once again."''<br />
<br />
;[[Wyndon Stadium]] (Champion Cup Locker Room)<br />
* After losing to [[Raihan]]<br />
:''"Sis. You shouldn't be forcin' your way in here."''<br />
:''"You got it wrong, Sis. Raihan's just that strong. But I was able to show everyone in the audience how amazin' a proper battle without usin' Dynamax can be."''<br />
:''"Sorry to come in for a chin-wag just before the final match. Raihan's waiting for you on the pitch. We're lookin' forward to a right good battle."''<br />

:''"Hm? You're..."''<br />
::'''"What's going on here?"''' : ''"Hah! How carefree can you be? You're the new Champion. You're bigger than a Dynamax Pokémon right now."<br />
:''"The audience and staff already took shelter."''<br />
:''"I'll lend a hand, too. I don't blame the Pokémon, of course, but I'm still just a bit miffed they upstaged me. You come too, bro of the old Champion."''<br />
:''"I don't really know the guy, but I don't think Leon'd be all lost about this. Though he does get actually lost a lot... You comin'?"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating [[Dynamax]] {{p|Tsareena}}<br />
:''"This Dynamax stuff... No matter how many times I see it, I still don't like it."''<br />
:''"Seems there was some discord in the harmony between Trainer and Pokémon."''<br />
<br />
* After [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] appears<br />
:''"Who are these guys? Spectators and staff should've been evacuated."''<br />
:''"What?"''<br />
:''"You think I'd put ay faith in words from rude little punks like you?"''<br />
<br />
* After [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] leaves<br />
:''"Calm down, Hop. You don't gotta act so hard."''<br />
:''"Yeah, and they could be leadin' us to a trap. It's a bad idea to run in unprepared."''<br />
:''"Good. Let's all calm down for a sec. Thanks to them runnin' their mouths, we know their goal is to force Pokémon to Dynamax."''<br />
<br />
* If talked to again<br />
:''"How're those two makin' Pokémon Dynamax without any Dynamax Bands? "''<br />
<br />
;[[Turffield]] ([[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]])<br />
:''"I'm an ex-Gym Leader. I can be wherever I want. It's not that weird! More importantly, you said there were Dynamax Pokémon at other stadiums?"''<br />
:''"I'm worried about Marnie!"''<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<i>Galar is a region where Pokémon battles have developed into a cultural sensation. Over the span of seven episodes, “Pokémon: Twilight Wings” will show in detail the dreams of Galar’s residents, the realities they face, the challenges they must overcome and the conflicts they must resolve. In addition to these new stories, fans can expect to see a variety of Pokémon originally discovered in the Galar region appearing in the capsule series.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Each episode focuses on a different character and is connected by a {{tc|Cabbie|Taxi Driver}} and his [[Flying Taxi]]. {{gal|John}}, a boy who has been in the hospital since childhood, is a fan of {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Leon]] and dreams of watching him battle live. The story begins when John is visited by [[Rose]].<br />
<br />
The plot of the series takes place right before the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], ending with Leon's exhibition match against [[Raihan]] seen during the game's introduction.{{fact}}<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

In ''[[TW05|Assistant]]'', Piers was walking on the streets of [[Wyndon]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', Piers refused to take part in an interview about [[Leon]] in [[Wyndon]]. Later, he, [[Marnie]], and her {{p|Morpeko}} watched the battle between Leon and [[Raihan]] on her phone in [[Spikemuth]].<br />

'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum EVs invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<i>Galar is a region where Pokémon battles have developed into a cultural sensation. Over the span of seven episodes, “Pokémon: Twilight Wings” will show in detail the dreams of Galar’s residents, the realities they face, the challenges they must overcome and the conflicts they must resolve. In addition to these new stories, fans can expect to see a variety of Pokémon originally discovered in the Galar region appearing in the capsule series.</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Each episode focuses on a different character and is connected by a {{tc|Cabbie|Taxi Driver}} and his [[Flying Taxi]]. {{gal|John}}, a boy who has been in the hospital since childhood, is a fan of {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Leon]] and dreams of watching him battle live. The story begins when John is visited by [[Rose]].<br />
<br />
The plot of the series takes place right before the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], ending with Leon's exhibition match against [[Raihan]] seen during the game's introduction.{{fact}}<br />

<br />
'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

In ''[[TW05|Assistant]]'', Piers was walking on the streets of [[Wyndon]].<br />
<br />

{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum EVs invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

'''Ryuki''' (Japanese: '''リュウキ''' ''Ryūki'') is a [[non-player character]] in the [[Generation VII]] {{pkmn|games}}. He is a rock guitarist and a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Ryuki is a rock musician who has traveled to [[Alola]] from another [[region]] beyond the sea in order to spread his fame. He's also one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|challenges]] the {{player}} for the title of [[Pokémon Champion]].<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Ryuki also sometimes appears at the [[Kantonian Gym]] in [[Malie City]], where he can be battled, although defeating him isn't necessary in clearing the Kantonian Gym challenge. After being defeated for the first time, he gives the player a [[Dragon Scale]]. He also promises to become a {{type|Dragon}} [[Gym Leader]] once real [[Gym]]s start appearing in Alola.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Ryuki's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Ryuki anime.png|thumb|250px|Ryuki in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br />
Ryuki appeared in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'' as the leader of the [[Kantonian Gym]]. He first had a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Kiawe}}, easily defeating his {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} when it became distracted by Ryuki's music. Next, he battled {{Ash}}, but when {{AP|Rowlet}} was losing to Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}}, {{AP|Meltan}} became infuriated and ate some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit in retaliation. Ryuki then changed the match into a [[Double Battle]], with Ash using Rowlet and Meltan against Ryuki's {{p|Druddigon}} and Zweilous. Thanks to Rowlet learning {{m|Brave Bird}}, Ash was able to win the match. Ryuki then gave him a [[Badge]] bearing a picture of his own face as a proof of his victory.<br />
<br />
===Character===<br />
Ryuki considers himself a star, and his stage persona tends to take over the battlefield. He tends to shout into his microphone to ensure that he gets his way. He insists on being called "Leader", as he feels anything less disregards his individuality and undermines his authority.<br />

[[File:Ryuki Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Ryuki in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Ryuki debuted in [[PASM32]]. He considers himself a battling superstar, so he traveled to [[Alola]] in hopes of fighting the powerful [[Ultra Beast]]s. He was hired by [[Faba]], who agreed to help Ryuki in exchange for his services. Ryuki was sent to [[Mount Lanakila]], where he found {{adv|Moon}} lying unconscious in the snow after she returned to Alola via an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. He picked the girl up and took her to [[Aether Paradise]], where Faba had her locked in a cell.<br />
<br />
Moon was later freed by [[Gladion]], who teamed up with her to stop Faba. Cornered, Faba tricked Ryuki into helping him by revealing [[Gladion's Silvally]] was created to defeat the Ultra Beasts. This subsequently prompted Ryuki to battle Gladion and Moon in order to defend his place in the spotlight. After losing his first Pokémon, Ryuki sent out two more, only for Gladion to stop him and call off the battle, revealing Faba was using it as a distraction so he could flee Aether Paradise. After learning that others were fighting the Ultra Beasts elsewhere in Alola, Ryuki ran off to join them.<br />
<br />
Months later, Gladion and Dulse set off to rescue Faba, who had been dragged into [[Ultra Space]] by several {{p|Nihilego}}. Ryuki chose to accompany them, much to Gladion's annoyance.<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />

Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===<br />
In ''[[TW05|Assistant]]'', Piers was walking on the streets of [[Wyndon]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', Piers refused to take part in an interview about [[Leon]] in [[Wyndon]]. Later, he, [[Marnie]], and her {{p|Morpeko}} watched the battle between Leon and [[Raihan]] on her phone in [[Spikemuth]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', Piers was seen with the rock band Maximizers onstage. He was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the tournament's opening ceremony.<br />
<br />
===In the GOTCHA! music video===<br />

{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum EVs invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

[[File:Sword Shield Gym Challenge artwork.png|thumb|250px|Artwork from {{g|Sword and Shield}} of {{ga|Victor}} facing Gym Leader [[Milo]]]]<br />
A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so that they are strong and resourceful enough to take the [[Pokémon League]] challenge. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in {{pkmn|battle}}, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].<br />
<br />
Gym Leaders are also responsible for overseeing how their respective Gym is run and maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the [[type]] they [[Type expert|specialize]] in, such as swimming pools in a {{type|Water}} Gym or trees and flowering plants in a {{type|Grass}} Gym. According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader. Unlike regular Pokémon Trainers, a Gym Leader has the right to directly challenge the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}, as revealed by [[Brock]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].<br />
<br />
It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym. Some of them founded their Gym and are self-appointed<!--who?-->; others, such as [[Whitney]], are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. A few appear to be passed on through families: [[Janine]], [[Falkner]], and [[Flannery]] all take over their respective Gyms from a close family member. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family; [[Roark]] and his father [[Byron]] are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position; examples include [[Koga]], [[Giovanni]], and [[Wallace]].<br />
<br />
==Pokémon used==<br />
Nearly all Leaders rely on a single [[type]] of Pokémon. For example, [[Erika]] uses only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in official Gym {{pkmn|battle}}s. Some Leaders, however, stray from this mold, albeit rarely. This is evidenced by the different types used by {{ga|Blue}} during his reign as the Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Generations II, IV, and VII, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so. However, many Gym Leaders have one or two Pokémon that stray from their type theme.<br />
<br />
Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader, [[Crasher Wake]], uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon, a direct allusion to the flooded marsh that surrounds the area and the constant downpour that plagues [[Pastoria City]]. Another example of this is the [[Cinnabar Gym]] Leader, [[Blaine]], who uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and lives in a volcanic area.<br />
<br />
The character archetype can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses. For example, [[Roark]] and [[Byron]], who are both miners, use the related {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. [[Tate and Liza]] could be based on the archetype of twins who can communicate telepathically, and thus train {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and being twins, they also battle opposing Trainers in Double Battles.<br />
<br />
==In the core series==<br />
[[File:SwSh Prerelease VS Milo.png|thumb|250px|Gym Leader [[Milo]] challenges the player]]<br />
A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader''), or '''Leader''' prior to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], is the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} name given to the Gym Leaders when they are battled in the [[Pokémon games]]. Despite Gym Leaders themselves being introduced in [[Generation I]], the Trainer class did not appear onscreen until [[Generation II]], and it has been incorporated into every game since. Gym Leaders are integral within the Pokémon universe. Occasionally, in order for one to advance in the game, the player must challenge and defeat the leader of a [[Gym]]. Each game is designed in such a way that the player will not be able to move forward until they receive a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] which will, in turn, either allow them to use an [[HM]] to overcome natural obstacles or trigger a necessary event to continue with the game. It is one of the player's main objectives to collect eight Gym Badges, allowing them to challenge the [[Elite Four]].<br />
<br />
Leaders do not seem to be required to be in their Gyms at all times. [[Giovanni]], for example, could keep his title as a Gym Leader despite not being at the [[Viridian Gym]] during the majority of the events of [[Generation I]], and his successor, {{ga|Blue}}, was also absent from the Gym several times. Beginning in [[Generation IV]], Leaders are increasingly encountered outside of their Gyms, evident in the remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the Leaders have to be found in different locations at specific times before they can {{DL|Pokégear|Gym Leader phone listing|exchange phone numbers}} with the player for a {{DL|Rematch|Gym Leader rematch schedule|rematch at the Fighting Dojo}}. Some Leaders even appear across regions, such as [[Jasmine]] appearing in [[Sunyshore City]], [[Crasher Wake]] on {{rt|47|Johto}}, and [[Maylene]] in [[Celadon City]]. Leaders can even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do). In later games, it is made apparent that Gym Leaders know each other and are acquainted with Gym Leaders from other regions, as well as with members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. Examples of this are Jasmine being friends with [[Erika]], Volkner being friends with {{EF|Flint}}, [[Brawly]] training with [[Bruno]], and most [[Unova]] Gym Leaders coming together to fight [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].<br />
<br />
In addition, some Gym Leaders may be required to use Pokémon different than their usual team, such as [[Cheren]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. Due to their higher AI compared to regular trainers, Gym Leaders are also one of the few Trainers to employ the use of {{cat|Potions}} when battling.<br />
<br />
As revealed in [[The Crown Tundra]], Gym Leaders in Galar have two divisions: major and minor. Upon completion of the main story, during the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}} reveals that they has become a minor division {{t|Poison}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{t|Psychic}}{{sup/8|Sh}} Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===Gym Trainers===<br />
<!--Wouldn't this go better on the page for Gym, if anything?-->In addition to Gym Leaders, there are also {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s. They are Trainers that are either a devotee or apprentice to the Gym Leader, who follow the same type theme as the Leader does. It is usually necessary to defeat multiple Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leader. Some Gyms in the game require the player to solve a puzzle, and one must often use Gym Trainers as obstacles to reach the solution. They have no direct impact on the overall plot, other than rarely offering the player helpful advice. It is also worth noting that the type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} appearing in a Gym will depend on the Gym itself. For instance, [[Gardenia]] employs {{tc|Aroma Lady|Aroma Ladies}} and {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}, exclusively, while [[Misty]] recruits {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Swimmer}}s; these Gym Leaders represent the [[type]]s {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively. However, starting in [[Generation VIII]], they only have the Trainer class "Gym Trainer", as well as a special introduction featuring their Badge.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===Pokémon Puzzle series===<br />
In the "1P Stadium" mode of [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], [[Ash Ketchum]] battles the eight [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders. In the "Challenge" mode of [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], {{ga|Ethan}} battles the eight [[Johto]] Gym Leaders.<br />
<br />
===Trading Card Game===<br />
In {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, the [[Club Master]]s have a role similar to Gym Leaders, giving out [[Medal]]s to duelists who defeat them.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===In the main series===<br />
[[File:Kalos Gym Leaders anime.png|thumb|400px|The Gym Leaders of Kalos in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s challenge Gym Leaders at their respective [[Gym]]s in order to earn [[Badge]]s. If a Trainer earns eight Badges from one [[region]], they become eligible to enter that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]].<br />
<br />
There are more than eight Gyms, and thus Gym Leaders, in each region. Many Trainers in the anime been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as {{Gary}} earning ten Badges in [[Kanto]]. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. 11 Gyms have been shown on-screen in Unova.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', {{an|May}} mentioned that the [[Sootopolis Gym]] is the last Gym of the [[Hoenn League]], implying that there is a fixed order of Gyms. However, in the next episode, ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]'', [[Juan]] is surprised to hear that the {{Badge|Rain}} was Ash's eighth Badge.<br />
<br />
All Gym Leaders since [[Flannery]] have appeared in at least one episode before Ash earned a Badge from them. Several other characters have become or were Gym Leaders in that canon at some point, such as {{an|Brock}}'s brother [[Forrest]], [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]], [[Mr. Moore|Flannery's grandfather]], and Kanto Elite Four member [[Agatha]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', some Gym Leaders from different regions were seen participating in the [[World Coronation Series]], such as [[Visquez]], {{an|Korrina}}, and [[Raihan]].<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===In Pokémon Origins===<br />
[[File:Brock Poké Balls PO.png|thumb|250px|Brock in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
All of the [[Generation I]] Gym Leaders appeared in [[Pokémon Origins]], but only [[Brock]] and [[Giovanni]] had spoken lines and key roles in the miniseries' plot. In this canon, it is revealed that Leaders have different teams to take on challengers, depending on how many Badges they have.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===In Pokémon Generations===<br />
[[File:Unova Gym Leaders Generations.png|thumb|250px|Most of the Unova Gym Leaders in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
[[Giovanni]] is the only Kanto Gym Leader to appear in the miniseries, specifically in ''[[PG03|The Chase]]'' and ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PG13|The Uprising]]'', most of the [[Unova]] Gym Leaders battled [[Team Plasma]] at the {{un|Pokémon League}}. In ''[[PG14|The Frozen World]]'', [[Drayden]] tried and failed to stop Team Plasma from stealing the [[DNA Splicers]].<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===<br />
[[File:Bea Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Bea in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]<br />
All [[Galar]] Gym Leaders appeared in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]. The first one to appear was [[Bea]], who battled [[Leon]] in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'' and lost. [[Milo]], [[Nessa]], and [[Allister]] also made cameo appearances at the end of the same episode. ''[[TW02|Training]]'' focused mainly on Bea.<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', Nessa's story was told after a defeat in the [[Galar League|Champions Cup]]. [[Raihan]] was also seen on a magazine cover during the episode, and [[Marnie]] was seen eating at a [[Battle Café]].<br />
<br />
[[Kabu]], [[Gordie]], [[Melony]], and [[Piers]] all appeared in ''[[TW05|Assistant]]''.<br />
<br />
[[Opal]] and [[Bede]] appeared in ''[[TW07|Sky]]''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Kanto Gym Leaders JBA.png|thumb|230px|Kanto Gym Leaders in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]<br />
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===<br />
Throughout his {{pkmn|journey}}, [[Jō]] faced the Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. All of them except for [[Falkner]] appeared only as silhouettes.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in Adventures, one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills.<br />
<br />
Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly probable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it:<br />
<br />
* All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]'s Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses, and one draw.<br />
* Seven of [[Hoenn]]'s Gym Leaders gathered at [[Fortree City]] during the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team — [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] — they should support. When the crisis escalated, the Gym Leaders turned their attention towards the {{adv|super-ancient Pokémon}} instead, although they were also forced to battle the [[Admin]]s of both aforementioned teams in the process.<br />
* Six of [[Sinnoh]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to fight [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.<br />
* Six of [[Unova]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to protect the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]] from [[Team Plasma]]'s advance during the {{chap|Black & White}}. Their plan ultimately failed, and Team Plasma took them hostage.<br />
* Five of [[Kalos]]'s Gym Leaders gathered to stop [[Team Flare]] from activating the [[ultimate weapon]] in the {{chap|X & Y}}.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===<br />
{{GnB|Gold}} met many of the Johto Gym Leaders over the course of the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga, on his quest to earn eight Badges. However, due to the manga ending in [[Cianwood City]], [[Pryce]] and [[Clair]] never appeared in it.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
The [[Generation I]] Gym Leaders of Kanto appeared in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. {{zensho|Satoshi}} earned a Badge from each of them, although he got the {{badge|Cascade}} from [[Misty]] by defending her Gym from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} and the {{badge|Marsh}} from [[Sabrina]] by helping to save [[Silph Co.]] from [[Team Rocket]], instead of defeating them.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Newspaper Strip===<br />
The [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]] is based on the [[original series]], but the concept of Gym Leader is not mentioned. {{an|Brock}}; {{OBP|Misty|Pokémon Newspaper Strip}}; and her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]] {{an|Daisy}}, [[Violet]], and {{ka|Lily}} are recurring characters. However, unlike the anime and the games, they do not have any connection with the position of Gym Leader.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* For [[DP009]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「ジムリーダー いのちをかけて かかってこい」 ''"Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me."''<br />
* The {{t|Dark}} type did not get a Gym until [[Generation VIII]], twenty years after the type debuted in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Previously, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members ([[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]) as well as an [[Island Kahuna]] ([[Nanu]]) who specialize in Dark types. The other seventeen types have at least one Gym associated with them, with the new types {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Fairy}} getting gyms in their debut generations.<br />
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.<br />
* In the Johto saga of the anime, none of the Gym Leaders had exactly the same lineups as they do in the games.<br />
* The Sinnoh saga marks the only time in the anime that all Gym Leaders in a region have used exactly the same teams as in the games.<br />
** However, Volkner only used three of his four Pokémon in his battle with Ash.<br />
* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in their party that knows the [[TM]] move they give out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.<br />
* From Generations I to V (not counting remakes), every move that was in a TM given out by a Gym Leader was a new move for that generation, and many of them were rarely (if ever) seen on any other Pokémon in the generation they were introduced. This trend has been broken in Generation VI, where only three Gym Leaders—Viola, Korrina, and Valerie—hand out TMs with moves new to the generation.<br />
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player can continue the game without defeating [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] until attempting to battle the Elite Four.<br />
* The Orange League is the only one so far in which Ash has successfully defeated all the Gym Leaders without a rematch.<br />
* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was mentioned that the position of Gym Leaders was very unforgiving, as it had a three-strike rule stating that if a Gym Leader lost three times in a row, the Gym will be disqualified. It also revealed that being a Gym Leader was costly, leaving little pay, and the government can't provide for them. It also revealed that the rather brutal nature of Gym leading was one of the reasons why {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|Brock}}'s parents ended up abandoning them to Gym duties.<br />
* Prior to the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Gym Leaders were referred to as Gym Masters in a since deleted tweet by the official Nintendo of America account.<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the only Gym Leaders who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum EVs invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

'''Team Yell''' (Japanese: '''{{j|エール{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Yell-dan'', literally ''Yell Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] living in the [[Galar]] region. They are fans of [[Marnie]] who want her to become {{pkmn|Champion}} and get more publicity for their hometown [[Spikemuth]]. However, despite their good intentions to form a fan club of sorts, the grunts begin to take things too far by rudely obstructing Marnie's rivals in their Gym Challenges and doing anything to prevent them from becoming Champion instead, without their leader [[Piers]] knowing.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
===In Pokémon Sword and Shield===<br />
Team Yell obstructs Marnie's rivals by taking over hotel lobbies, preventing challengers from accessing transportation, and even shouting and distracting opponents during battle. When the player reaches [[Spikemuth]], it is revealed that Team Yell grunts are actually Spikemuth [[Gym Trainer (Trainer class)|Gym Trainer]]s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers.<br />

Team Yell debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}. Two Grunts attacked [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] and [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]] in an attempt to destroy their Gym Challenge uniforms. Their plot was foiled when Sōdo and Shirudomiria dragged the Grunts into a nearby [[Pokémon Den]], forcing the four to team up in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Gurdurr}}.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Team Yell is the first villainous team with no specific evil intentions or goals. Instead, their only desire is for Marnie to become Champion.<br />
* Team Yell's methods may be based on {{wp|football hooliganism}}, a real-life phenomenon in England.<br />

<div>{{incomplete|needs=This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.}}<br />
'''Villainous teams''', referred to officially as '''villainous organizations''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|悪|あく}}の{{tt|組織|きそしき}}''' ''villainous organizations'') or '''sinister organizations''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|敵組織|てきそしき}}''' ''villainous organizations''; officially ''secret teams''), are {{wp|organized crime}} groups which serve as the main antagonists in the storylines of [[Pokémon games]]. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing they all have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Their names generally follow the pattern '''Team ~''' (Japanese: '''{{j|～団}}''' ''-dan'').<br />
<br />
==Comparisons==<br />
Villainous teams in the [[core series]] have many aspects in common. Their structure generally includes, in order of rank, a leader, one or more admins and a number of anonymous grunts. Some teams have additional levels of authority within them, such as [[Team Flare]]'s scientists, as well as additional members and associated individuals who do not fit into the hierarchy at all, such as [[Gladion]], who works with [[Team Skull]].<br />
<br />
Aside from {{game|Emerald}}, each core series game has only one team acting in a villainous capacity. Typically, the player character encounters the villainous team many times over the course of their adventure. Typically, they first encounter grunts early in the game, often involved in a small act of villainy unrelated to the team's broader goals. As the player's adventure continues, they meet more of the team's members and uncover more of its secrets and aims, culminating in one or more encounters with the team's boss. Finally, toward the end of the game, the player foils the team's scheme. In most games — with the exception of {{game|Black and White|s}} — this happens before the end of the player's journey to the [[Pokémon League]].<br />
<br />
The above refers to the core series games; however, other canons, such as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, have created very different interpretations of villainous teams.<br />
<br />

===[[Team Rocket]]===<br />
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket Grunts]]<br />
Team Rocket is the villainous team of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions. The grunts wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling [[Fossil]]s. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]]. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of the [[Celadon Game Corner]].<br />
<br />
Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train further. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the [[Sevii Islands]] until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.<br />
<br />
For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the [[Johto]] region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money, such as selling {{p|Slowpoke}} tails at outrageous prices.<br />
<br />
As the Johto Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the {{p|Magikarp}} at the [[Lake of Rage]], causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by [[Lance]], Team Rocket soon took over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide.<br />
<br />
Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and return. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Some time later, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fought Giovanni while their present-day counterpart watched the fight. Giovanni vanished after the fight, and Ethan/Lyra returned to their time.<br />
<br />
====In the anime====<br />
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times {{an|Giovanni}} as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], have appeared. Giovanni made separate attempts to take over [[Kanto]] and [[Unova]], failing both times.<br />
<br />
====In the manga====<br />
{{incomplete|section|other manga}}<br />
=====Pokémon Adventures=====<br />
{{main|Team Rocket#In the Pokémon Adventures manga}}<br />
Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.<br />
<br />
This canon's depiction of Gym Leaders is different from that of the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant. In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.<br />
<br />
For a short time, [[Blaine]] worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket-affiliated at some point in their life.<br />
<br />
As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point, his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the [[Three Beasts]] of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through the use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it.<br />
<br />
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] would cause the destruction of both Johto and [[Sinnoh]], as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms down the Legendary Pokémon, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward of his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself.<br />
<br />
===[[Team Aqua]]===<br />
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Aqua Grunts]]<br />
Team Aqua is one of two villainous teams of the [[Hoenn]] region. The grunts wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have a skull-and-bones-like "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]]), their main goal is to reduce the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]] and a grunt is fought. After earning the {{Badge|Stone}}, the same grunt is seen fleeing to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], and had kidnapped [[Peeko]]. Later, they are seen [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to become dormant. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Shelly]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Red Orb]] (Blue Orb in Alpha Sapphire). They then return to [[Slateport City]] to steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] near [[Lilycove City]], which cannot be accessed until after earning the {{Badge|Mind}} in Sapphire, and they then travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the orb to awaken Kyogre.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], they help the player defeat Team Magma.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, a single grunt is encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]] with a second encounter ending in [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. As a group, they are first seen at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. At [[Meteor Falls]] they cause [[Team Magma]] to flee. They are seen fighting Team Magma at Mt. Chimney. Later, they are seen again when the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Shelly]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Red Orb]]. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] near [[Lilycove City]]. After many grunts and [[Matt]] are defeated, they are seen traveling to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Red Orb to awaken Kyogre. After defeating many grunts and [[Shelly]], Archie is seen awakening Kyogre, but it flees, and is fought and defeated by the player. Archie and [[Maxie]] are seen in [[Sootopolis City]] until {{p|Rayquaza}} stops the fight between Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}}. After this, the two leaders are seen returning the respective orbs to Mt. Pyre.<br />
<br />

===[[Team Magma]]===<br />
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Magma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Magma Grunts]]<br />
Team Magma is one of two villainous teams of the [[Hoenn]] region. The grunts wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]]), their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]], and a grunt is fought. After earning the {{Badge|Stone}}, the same grunt is seen fleeing to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]] and had kidnapped Peeko. Later, they are encountered at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Courtney]] in Ruby or [[Tabitha]] in Omega Ruby are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Blue Orb]] (Red Orb in Omega Ruby). They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Magma Hideout|hideout]] in [[Lilycove City]], which cannot be accessed after earning the {{Badge|Mind}} in Ruby, and they then travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the orb to awaken Groudon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] (and its remake, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]]), they help the player defeat Team Aqua.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Emerald}}, Team Magma is first seen in Meteor Falls, but flee when [[Archie]] and [[Team Aqua]] appear. Like in Ruby and Omega Ruby, they steal the meteorite. They are first fought at Mt. Chimney, and this is the first time [[Tabitha]] and [[Maxie]] are fought. After fighting Team Aqua, who successfully stole the Red Orb, at Mt. Pyre, the player obtains the [[Magma Emblem]], which was dropped by a grunt when Team Magma stole the Blue Orb, and accesses the [[Magma Hideout (Jagged Pass)|hideout]]. However, in this game, it's located in [[Jagged Pass]] instead of being near Lilycove City in Ruby and Omega Ruby. After defeating many grunts and Tabitha, the player witnesses Maxie awaken Groudon, but it flees, and they then fight Maxie for the second time. After earning the Mind Badge, they are fought at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] for the last time. After defeating a few grunts, the player teams up with [[Steven Stone]] and defeat Maxie and Tabitha in a Double Battle. They are also seen after Archie awakens Kyogre in the Seafloor Cavern and is defeated by the player. The two leaders are in [[Sootopolis City]] until {{p|Rayquaza}} stops the fight between Kyogre and Groudon. After that, they are seen returning the respective orbs to Mt. Pyre.<br />
<br />

===[[Team Galactic]]===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Galactic Grunts]]<br />
Team Galactic is the villainous team of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} and{{tt|*|Pokémon Platinum Version}}/or{{tt|*|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions}} {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (possibly resembling a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Cyrus wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit. In Platinum, [[Charon]] is also present.<br />
<br />
In Platinum, once the player has access to [[Stark Mountain]], [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] are seen at Stark Mountain with Charon attempting to use the power of {{p|Heatran}}, but after being defeated, they leave the team, and Charon is arrested, leaving [[Saturn]] as the only Team Galactic Commander still part of the team.<br />
<br />
====In the anime====<br />
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the [[Adamant Orb]] and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, Team Galactic commented that Team Rocket did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tried to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.<br />
<br />
====In the manga====<br />
=====Pokémon Adventures=====<br />
{{main|Team Galactic#In the Pokémon Adventures manga}}<br />
<br />
=====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====<br />
Like in the games, the team is led by [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but it was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of its life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] became the new leader and tried to capture {{p|Heatran}}. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.<br />
<br />
One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.<br />
<br />
===[[Team Plasma]]===<br />
[[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|250px|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White, as well as the ones who follow N in Black 2 and White 2]]<br />
[[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|250px|The Team Plasma Grunts following Colress as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]<br />
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the [[Unova]] region. Originally, the grunts wore a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wore robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his adoptive father, [[Ghetsis]]. After this is discovered, the members of Team Plasma that support Ghetsis change their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that support N remain in the old uniform. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].<br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by [[Colress]]. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions.<br />
<br />
The reformed members and N help the player against new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.<br />
<br />
====In the anime====<br />
Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|debut]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] were postponed due to the {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan and were later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc, but in their new outfits.<br />
<br />
N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance <!--(in person)--> in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode rescuing N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the [[Unova]] region.<br />

<br />
===[[Team Flare]]===<br />
[[File:XY Team Flare Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Team Flare Grunts]]<br />
Team Flare is the villainous team of the Kalos region. The grunts' uniform is a mafia styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits and Scientists wear red suits of varying designs. Their leader is [[Lysandre]]. Their symbol is a flaming letter F.<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite their claims, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world benefiting only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare attempted to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossil]]s. They also siphoned energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on stole [[Poké Ball]]s from the [[Poké Ball Factory]].<br />
<br />
It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves and start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations to this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and the large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies.<br />
<br />
After the player has defeated the Elite Four and the Champion, the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.<br />
<br />
====In the anime====<br />
The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, monitoring the Mega Evolution energy [[Alain]] had accumulated. He appears again in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he interrupted Alain and {{Steven}}'s battle.<br />
<br />
In the anime, Team Flare hatches a plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. However, they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team are after two of the Zygarde Cores, code-named [[Squishy|Z1]] and [[Z2]]. In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Team Flare were able to locate Z2 while it and Z1 were communicating, and Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 had joined {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who had nicknamed it Squishy, they began following the group to capture it, and were seen on numerous occasions. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]], began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, which Xerosic declared was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 with the help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, allowing Xerosic to later experiment on it.<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', on the night before the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, made their way to the [[Lumiose Gym]] to begin setting up their equipment. At the end of ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre arrived at the Lumiose Gym and ordered Z2 to show him its power as he put his plan into motion. In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre televised a message to the citizens of Kalos, describing his plan to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in. Team Flare's plot was ultimately foiled in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after Z2 was freed from its control and Team Flare's [[Giant Rock]] destroyed.

===[[Team Skull]]===<br />
[[File:Sun Moon Team Skull Grunt.png|thumb|250px|Team Skull Grunts]]<br />
Team Skull is the primary villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. The grunts' black-and-white uniforms are inspired by street gangs, and consist of sneakers, shorts, wrist bands, tank tops, bandannas used to cover the lower face, and berets that resemble the tops of skulls. Their symbol is a stylized letter S in the shape of a skull, which is worn as a medallion. Their leader is [[Guzma]].<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
Team Skull's intentions are to simply make enough money to survive. They have a history of disrupting [[island challenge]] events. The team's leader, [[Guzma]], once attempted the island challenge and failed. He is acquainted with [[Professor Kukui]]. [[Plumeria]], an Admin, is considered the "big sister" of the team and cares for the grunts, calling them her "cute, dumb brothers and sisters". It is eventually revealed by some of their members that the organization is composed of other people who also failed their island challenge. Their enforcer, [[Gladion]], is the son of Aether President [[Lusamine]] and joined their team to become stronger, though the grunts do not consider him a real member of their team. Their base is located in [[Po Town]].<br />
<br />
====In the anime====<br />
Team Skull debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where three of their grunts, [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]], challenged [[Kiawe]] to a Pokémon battle, threatening to steal his {{p|Charizard}}. {{Ash}} and {{an|Kiawe}} teamed up to defeat the grunts, with Kiawe defeating all of the grunts' Pokémon with his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}'s Z-Move. Since then, they have made semi-regular appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', especially Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp.<br />

===[[Team Rainbow Rocket]]===<br />
[[File:Rainbow Rocket Grunts Concept.png|thumb|250px|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts]]<br />
Team Rainbow Rocket is a villainous team that appears in the [[Alola]] region. Members wear black uniforms that are similar to those worn by the original [[Team Rocket]], but the red "R" logo on the uniform's front has been replaced by a rainbow "R" logo. Their leader is Giovanni.<br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
Team Rainbow Rocket's intentions are to create an army of [[Ultra Beast]]s in order to conquer all the worlds. The group is led by [[Giovanni]], who has recruited the leaders of other villainous teams from alternate universes where they were successful in their plans, including [[Archie]] of [[Team Aqua]], [[Maxie]] of [[Team Magma]], [[Cyrus]] of [[Team Galactic]], [[Ghetsis]] of [[Team Plasma]], and [[Lysandre]] of [[Team Flare]].

===[[Team Yell]]===<br />
[[File:Sword Shield Team Yell Grunt.png|thumb|250px|Team Yell Grunts]]<br />
Team Yell is the villainous team of the [[Galar]] region. The grunts' black-and-pink uniforms are inspired by {{wp|Football hooliganism|football hooligans}} and punks; and consist of sneakers, pranks, tank tops, vests, and gloves. Many of their clothing articles are ripped/torn or embellished with spikes and studs. The grunts also wear face paint and dyed or painted hair. Their symbol is a stylized, upside-down Y, forming an eye tattoo or a claw, though it also closely resembles their signature Y-shaped {{wp|vuvuzela}}. In reality, Team Yell grunts are [[Spikemuth]] [[Gym Trainer (Trainer class)|Gym Trainer]]s in disguise, under their captain and Gym Leader [[Piers]]. <br />
<br />
====In the games====<br />
Unlike most evil teams, Team Yell's intentions, while similar to those of Team Skull (who also have a history of disrupting events), are not entirely evil; they are simply devoted fans of Piers' younger sister [[Marnie]]. Team Yell was formed when Marnie entered the [[Gym Challenge]], several Gym Trainers from the Spikemuth Gym came together to form Team Yell and act as a fan club for her, but also began vandalizing and obstructing her competitors to help her win the Gym Challenge and get publicity for their dilapidating hometown.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*In [[Generation VI]], the final battle against a villainous team's Boss takes place on a background that differs from the actual location and reflects the Team's name.<br />
**For [[Lysandre]], the background is a fiery area resembling a Sun's corona, whereas the actual location was [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].<br />
**For [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the background resembles a whirlpool or a volcano, respectively, while both battles take place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Even if water and magma are featured in the chamber they are faced, they are battled on solid land. For the purposes of {{cat|moves that vary with environment}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is treated as the default plain terrain.<br />
*So far, [[Team Break]] is the only villainous team (excluding [[Team Meanies]] and [[Team Skull (Mystery Dungeon)|Team Skull]]) without a leader and/or admins.<br />
*In [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]]{{sup|5|B2W2}}, and [[Kalos]], the evil team puts their plan into action right after the player defeats the seventh [[Gym]].<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

[[File:PiersDarknessAblaze187.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Piers]]<br />
{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the only Gym Leaders who specialize in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum EVs invested in both {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}.<br />

'''Marnie''' (Japanese: '''マリィ''' ''Mary'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Bede]], and [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She eventually replaces her older brother [[Piers]] as the [[Gym Leader]] of her [[hometown]] [[Spikemuth]]. As the Spikemuth Gym Leader, she gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Marnie is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. She is a stoic, but well-mannered girl who wants to become {{pkmn|Champion}} to support her hometown [[Spikemuth]]. Her [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] is her {{p|Morpeko}}, who can be seen [[walking Pokémon|following her around]] outside of battle. She is constantly followed by her fan club, [[Team Yell]]. She can first be seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] while the player and [[Hop]] register for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. The player first meets Marnie in the lobby of [[Motostoke]]'s Budew Drop Inn, where she scolds a group of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s for causing trouble for the player, Hop, and other participants before introducing herself and apologizing on her behalf. After the player returns to Motostoke, the player has their first battle with her in the same lobby. The next day, Marnie will give them a copy of [[Kabu]]'s [[League Card]] and two [[Burn Heal]]s before seeing them off. The player later meets Marnie and Morpeko at [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where she learns her Morpeko has taken a liking to the player, and she gives them a copy of her League Card before officially acknowledging them as a rival.<br />
<br />
Later, on the outskirts of Spikemuth on {{rt|9|Galar}}, Marnie will show the player an alternate way into town but insist on a battle before they can enter. After being defeated, Marnie gives them [[Piers]]'s League Card and leads them inside, claiming she'll get her revenge in the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]]. During their Spikemuth Gym Mission, the player will learn that Team Yell consists of the Gym's {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, and that they blocked the main entrance to cut down on Marnie's competition. They also learn that the Gym Leader, Piers, is Marnie's older brother. After Piers is defeated, Marnie arrives to congratulate both her brother and her rival on the match and tells Piers she knows he plans to retire his title after the Champion Cup. Piers planned on offering the position to her, but Marnie refuses, telling him she can't be a Gym Leader if she becomes Champion. The player leaves Spikemuth while Marnie and Piers have their Gym Battle.<br />
<br />
The player next meets Marnie as their first opponent in the semi-finals of the [[Wyndon Stadium]] Champion Cup. Marnie says she was expecting them, and that despite what they've been through together, she declares she's going to go all-out. Marnie is revealed to have a [[Dynamax Band]], unlike her brother, and uses it to [[Gigantamax]] the newest addition to her team, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}. After being defeated, Marnie thanks the player for the battle, saying that she enjoyed putting on a show for the crowd, but tells the player she hasn't yet decided who to root for just yet. After the semi-finals, the player and Hop meet Marnie, Piers, and Team Yell in front of the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel, who agree to help them look for [[Leon]]. While the player battles {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} Eric, Marnie will lead Team Yell in cheering for the player, boosting their Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]]. As the player and the others reach [[Rose Tower]], Marnie and Piers will stay behind to hold off any other interlopers. Marnie later appears in the waiting room of Wyndon Stadium after Piers loses his match with [[Raihan]] in the Champion Cup finals, telling the player she'll be cheering for them.<br />
<br />
After the player becomes Champion, they'll find Marnie in one of the rooms of the Budew Drop Inn, talking to her Morpeko. She attempts to practice smiling by pushing up the corners of her mouth, but when she is caught by the player, she runs off embarrassed. The player can then find her in Spikemuth, where she reveals she did take up Piers's offer, taking his place as Gym Leader. The player can train with her in a [[rematch]] here once daily. After being defeated for the first time, she will give the player a copy of her rare League Card. After obtaining this Card, they can encounter her in rematches in {{DL|Wyndon Stadium|Champion tournaments}} at [[Wyndon Stadium]], as well. Here, she will use the same team, only she will also Gigantamax her Grimmsnarl once more.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Marnie's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"As a child, she was timid and a bit of a crybaby. However, she became more cheerful as she played with {{p|Morpeko|the Pokémon}} she received from [[Piers|her brother]], and her talents as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} also grew greatly. She joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] because she wishes to breathe life back into her dilapidated hometown, but she says she has been somewhat distracted by the boutiques throughout Galar. Though many in [[Spikemuth]] see her as a local celebrity, she herself has no interest in pursuing fame. However, she says she does appreciate the support of [[Team Yell]], her personal cheering squad."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"She was appointed as the new [[Gym Leader]] of Spikemuth by her brother Piers. Piers caught Morpeko and gave it to her when she was five. She still finds herself at the mercy of Morpeko's {{a|Hunger Switch|mood swings}} even now. The local dialect of Spikemuth has a distinct kick to it, and many of Marnie's fans have started mimicking her. Marnie won't change her expression even when she gets angry, but once something sets her off, she stays angry for a long time."<br />
<br />

Marnie keeps her Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

[[File:MarnieSwordShield200.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Marnie]]<br />
{{main|Marnie (Sword & Shield 169)}}<br />
'''Marnie''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}}. It later appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Shield}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows both players to shuffle their hands to the bottom of their decks. If so, the card user draws five cards and their opponent draws four.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Marnie's uniform number is "960", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 苦労 ''kurō'', meaning "hardship", or 黒 ''kuro'', meaning "black".<br />
* Marnie and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.<br />
* Marnie is the only Gym Leader in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} who doesn't use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Gym Leader" when battled at a [[Gym]].<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

[[File:PiersDarknessAblaze187.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Piers]]<br />
{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Darkness}}-type Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers and [[Marnie]] are the only Gym Leaders who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />
* Piers's {{p|Obstagoon}} has maximum EVs invested in both Defense and Special Defense. This is presumably to make up for Piers's lack of Dynamax usage in his battles.<br />

'''Olivia''' (Japanese: '''ライチ''' ''Lychee'') is a character introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. She is the [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]] of [[Akala Island]] and a member of the [[Alola]] [[Elite Four]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She grants the [[Trainer Card (game)#Stamps|Akala stamp]] to Trainers who defeat her.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
In addition to being Akala's Kahuna, Olivia owns a jewelry and accessory store in her hometown of [[Konikoni City]]. Despite being chosen as a Kahuna at such a young age, Olivia maintains that she is just an average girl. The {{player}} eventually battles her in the grand trial of the Akala [[island challenge]].<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], after {{p|Necrozma}} unleashes several [[Ultra Beast]]s around [[Alola]], Olivia is briefly seen facing a {{p|Buzzwole}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Pheromosa}}{{sup/7|UM}} at the [[Ruins of Life]].<br />
<br />
Olivia is later revealed to be one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s [[Professor Kukui]] invited to act as the [[Elite Four]] of the {{al|Pokémon League}} of Alola.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Olivia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />

====Pokémon Sun and Moon====<br />
;[[Heahea City]]<br />
:''"Still haven't managed to find a shirt that goes with your lab coat, hmm, {{prof|Kukui}}?"''<br />
:''"I've told you you're gonna scare off strangers looking like that..."''<br />
:''"Why hello there. Nice to meet you all—I'm Olivia."''<br />
:''"I was on my way to see who was pulling into port and ran into [[Mallow]] here while she was out on a delivery."''<br />
:''"And Mallow isn't the only captain here on [[Akala Island]], of course."''<br />
:''"So? What's the plan, kids?"''<br />
:''"Yes...I suppose so."''<br />
:''"OK, then. Enjoy your time on your island challenge, kids, along with your Pokémon. I'll be waiting for my chance to face you in battle when the time comes."''<br />
:''"I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got!"''<br />
:''"Let's go, Mallow."''<br />
<br />
;[[Diglett's Tunnel]]<br />
:''"Hmm? Oh, <player>, wasn't it?"''<br />
:''"This cave really is something, y'know? It's overflowing with these Pokémon called {{p|Diglett}}, and they are getting really out of hand. Mediocre Trainers can't even get through!"''<br />
:''"So, how's your island challenge going? Let me see which crystals you've earned."''<br />
* Before battling Lana<br />
:''"Couldn't wait to come see me, hmm? But tackle [[Brooklet Hill]] first. It's right past [[Paniola Town]]."''<br />
* Before battling Kiawe<br />
:''"OK, you're doing all right! How's that [[Waterium Z]] working out for you? Judging by how well you and your team get along, I bet you guys can do some real damage with it! OK, <player>, Kiawe's trial is next! Off to [[Wela Volcano Park]] you go!"''<br />
* Before battling Mallow<br />
:''"It looks like you've tackled everything but Akala Island's last trial in Lush Jungle! Just relax and have fun with it. Your Pokémon will be happier that way, too."''<br />
* Before heading to the Dimensional Research Lab<br />
:''"Oh hey, since you're here on Akala... Have you made it out to our [[Dimensional Research Lab]] yet? Traveling about for your island challenge is about more than just trials, you know. Have a look around while you're at it."''<br />
* After battling Lana, Kiawe and Mallow and visited the Dimensional Research Lab<br />
:''"Ooh, look at you, <player>! Nice work! I see you've even passed Mallow's trial. It's about time you had some fun with me! The Diglett have settled down, too. If you are as strong as you appear, you should be able to make it through this cave."''<br />
:''"At the other end of it, you'll find [[Konikoni City]]. That's where my shop is. I'll see you there!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Ruins of Life]]<br />
:''"Oh, haven't I seen you with Kukui?"''<br />
:''"Oh! Sorry, I never even asked your name before, did I? {{p|Tapu Lele}} summoned me here to clean up the ruins."''<br />
:''"<Player>...thanks for getting to know the people and Pokémon of Alola."''<br />
<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"All right, then! You've completed the trials of all three captains here on Akala Island. Now you face the grand trial of the kahuna—me! Get ready for your hardest [[Pokémon battle]] yet on Akala!"''<br />
::'''Not yet''': ''"Fine! I don't want to win just because you weren't prepared well enough."''<br />
::'''I'd love to!''': ''"Great! We're gonna give you guys everything we've got! And my partners are all adorable, rugged little {{t|Rock}} types!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"How lovely."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Diamonds only sparkle after coal is pushed to its absolute limit."''<br />
:''"You guys are the best! Here. The {{type|Rock}} [[Z-Crystal]]... The [[Rockium Z]] is all yours!"''<br />
:''"The Rock-type [[Z-Move|Z-Power]]...you have to move like this to draw it out! Watch carefully, because the hip movement is crucial!"''<br />
:''"Use it well. The Rock type... It's hard. Sturdy. Rugged and physically strong. So nothing like me at all! I guess opposites really do attract."''<br />
<br />
:''"By the way, [[Lillie]], this might be a weird question, but... Why even come to the Ruins of Life if you're not a {{pkmn|Trainer}}?"''<br />
:''"You certainly don't see Pokémon like that every day. Tapu Lele may be called the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of our island, but it can also run wild at times. Regular Pokémon normally avoid the guardians at all costs... Unless they are strong enough to face the tapu themselves, that is."''<br />
:''"Wait, that can't be right..."''<br />
:''"I think your journey will hold many surprises. And I hope it holds many joys."''<br />
:''"I'll take you back to town, Lillie. You're doing everything you can for your partner, even though you're not a Trainer. I like that kind of person, so I can't help but give you a hand!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Akala Outskirts]]<br />
:''"Ooh, the [[Aether Foundation]]? I'm not sure what he wants with you, <player>, but why not go find out? If you don't want to keep him waiting, then {{p|Charizard}} should get you there in no time. The Hano Grand Resort lies just over the bridge near the Dimensional Research Lab."''<br />
:''"You're just [[Hau]], right? And what's wrong with that! Who cares if you're [[Hala]]'s grandson? Now show me what Hau can do!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Hano Grand Resort]]<br />
:''"As a kahuna, I look after all the trial-goers who come to my island. They're like my own children. Not that I've got any—I've never even gotten married."''<br />
:''"Listen up, you two. Your greatest opponent is always yourself. Your greatest allies, the Pokémon beside you."''<br />
<br />
;{{al|Pokémon League}}<br />
* Upon entering the Rock Chamber<br />
:''"Welcome to the Rock Chamber!"''<br />
<br />
;First battle<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"No introduction needed here. Time to battle me, Olivia!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"Really lovely...both you and your Pokémon..."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"I don't see the same look in your eyes that I saw when we first met on Akala Island. Have you had some experiences that you'll carry with you in your heart forever? Well, it's time for you to move on."''<br />
<br />
;Upon entering the Hall of Fame for the first time<br />
:''"Yup! That's precisely why he/she and his/her Pokémon were able to combine that strength to emerge victorious!"''<br />
<br />
;Rematch battle<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"I won't be holding back! My Rock-type Pokémon will grind you to dust! Your puny little Pokémon are going to go down in one hit! Hah!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"Since you've become {{pkmn|Champion}}, both you and your Pokémon have a certain level of polish."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"What a spectacular Trainer you are! Now when the children of Alola finish their island challenge, they can visit the Pokémon League to try to become the Champion! The Trainers of Alola will become even stronger!"''<br />
<br />
* If talked to again...<br />
** If battled first<br />
::''"You should get moving. You still have three more rooms left, right?"''<br />
:* If battled second<br />
::''"Don't stop now. You still have two more rooms left, right?"''<br />
:* If battled third<br />
::''"I'll stay here and wonder why you left me waiting so long for your challenge..."''<br />
:* If battled last<br />
::''"Let me guess...you're the type who likes to save the most delicious bite for the end of the meal?"''<br />

:''"Hi, can I get a table?"''<br />
:''"Oh! Well, if it isn't little <player>! Well, as long as we're both here, why don't we sit together, hm? And I'll have whatever he/she is having."''<br />
:''"This right here! This is it! I may live on my own, but sometimes even I need that familiar taste of home cooking. Dig in, <player>, before it gets cold!"''<br />
:''"Ah... That was delicious. Maybe it's about time I find someone to cook for myself, huh? Oh! But look at your plate, <player>! You've barely touched a thing! Local flavors not your thing?"''<br />
:''"This one's on me. I like to see a boy/girl with a good appetite. Here, take these freebie [[Heart Scale]]s they're giving away."''<br />
:''"See you around, <player>. I do love a boy/girl with a good appetite!"''<br />

[[File:Olivia anime.png|thumb|220px|Olivia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br />
While not mentioned by name, in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge]]'', it is revealed that {{an|Kiawe}} completed Olivia's grand trial and received a [[Z-Ring]] from her prior to the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.<br />

===Character===<br />
Olivia is highly energetic and sweet by nature. However she is also very clumsy, constantly getting knocked to the ground during simple tasks like walking up the stairs or opening a door. She also possesses the unique ability to communicate with Pokémon on a different level than most people, giving her a natural affinity even with highly guarded and aggressive Pokémon such as [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Litten]].<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Olivia Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Olivia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Olivia debuted in ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]''. She was first seen with [[Hala]] and [[Nanu]] at [[Malie Garden]], where they discussed the sightings of the [[guardian deities]] around Alola. They speculated that the normally reclusive guardians appearing before people was a sign that they were angered by something.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'', Olivia and Nanu battled each other to test a stage for an upcoming festival in [[Iki Town]]. Nanu teased Olivia about her romance troubles, which angered her into using a [[Z-Move]]. Nanu tried retaliating with his own, but both were stopped by Hala. The three decided the festival would be used to test Alolan youths by having they battle each other. The strongest participants would travel around Alola's four islands, imitating the [[island challenge]], in order to calm the guardian deities' rage.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', Olivia was helped by {{adv|Moon}} in determining the festival tournament roster. At one point, they encountered [[Lillie]], a girl entered in the tournament due to a misunderstanding. When Lillie tried to explain the situation, [[Nebby]] escaped from her bag and ran off. Moon and Lillie chased after Nebby to [[Mahalo Trail]] while Olivia went to tell inform Hala. After returning, Olivia witnessed {{p|Tapu Koko}} rescuing Moon and Nebby from falling in the water before leaving. Olivia offered to have Lillie withdrawn from the tournament, but Moon decided to take her place instead. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM21|Thieving and Boss Crabominable]]'', Olivia, Hala, and Nanu met at Hala's house, where they decided to name [[Hapu]] the next Kahuna of [[Poni Island]]. Olivia and Nanu decided to head to their respective islands to help the [[Trial Captain]]s fend off the [[Ultra Beasts]] that appeared in Alola. Before they could leave, a {{p|Kartana}} and {{p|Buzzwole}} burst into the building and attacked. Hala decided to fight the two beasts alone and told Olivia and Nanu to go defend their islands. <br />
<br />
In [[PASM26]], the Island Kahunas and Trial Captains were revealed to have spent six months on [[Exeggutor Island]] {{pkmn|training}} to prepare for another clash with the Ultra Beasts. At some point, Olivia made a [[Z-Ring]] for [[Hau]]. Once the training was finished, Olivia and [[Kahili]] left to join the others and deliver a repaired Z-Ring [[Kiawe]]. While they traveled, Kahili revealed a suitcase full of [[Z-Crystal]]s she had spent the last six months gathering. One of the Z-Crystals was a [[Lycanium Z]], which Olivia had never seen before. <br />
<br />
After meeting with the others, [[Sophocles]] and [[Molayne]] took everyone to [[Mount Lanakila]], where a wormhole had opened up earlier. Shortly after they arrived, their ship was attacked by a group of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s and their Ultra Beasts. During the battle, Olivia was assisted by {{p|Tapu Koko}}, who transported her to [[Melemele Island]] in order to battle with {{p|Guzzlord}}.<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Chairman Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

:''"I have good ears, so I overheard the whole thing about the city bein' shut up. When I was alone, it was like my soul was weepin'."''<br />
:''"This is a simple Gym Stadium. We can't even [[Dynamax]] our Pokémon, but well... I still hope you enjoy the battle."''<br />
:''"Now then..."''<br />
:''"I'm the Gym Leader of Spikemuth, Piers, the {{type|Dark}} [[Type expert|user]]!"''<br />
:''"You wanna challenge me, even though you know you'll lose? Then this song's for you, foolish Trainer!"''<br />
:''"Get ready for a mosh pit with me and my party! Spikemuth, it's time to rock!"''<br />

:''"Kid's sure got a mouth on him, huh? If you were that noisy durin' battle, you'd unleash a whole new level of power, you know."''<br />
:''"Judgin' by appearances? No wonder you lost to {{player|your mate}}."''<br />
:''"If you're lookin' for [[Leon|the Champion]], I saw him headin' to [[Rose Tower]]."''<br />
:''"Dunno what he's up to, but I ran into him at the monorail platform. He said to tell you that he had somethin' to do at Rose Tower, so he'd be late to your dinner."''<br />
:''"Sheesh... What rude siblings, always so demandin' of others."''<br />
:''"Though I s'ppose... It's a real problem for me, too, if the Finals are held up for any reason. And I don't really hate the two of you little runts. You were good enough to beat me, after all."''<br />
:''"So I think I'll invite [[Team Yell]] along, and we'll all have ourselves a bit of fun. Shall we?"''<br />
<br />
* Outside the hotel<br />
:''"We decided that Team Yell will cheer you on, <player>. Let's help out together."''<br />
:''"Tch. This isn't good! But I got this one!"''<br />
:''"<player>! Team Yell's yellin' will handle this!"''<br />
:''"For now, we should try to head to the plaza together, right?"''<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"All right, let's all work together and head for Rose Tower."''<br />
::'''No''': ''"Hmm. You should be able to get to the plaza yourself, right?"''<br />
<br />
* Upon arriving at the plaza<br />
:''"Let's find Oleana's League staff member. That bad one was wearin' those lame shades, right?"''<br />
<br />
* If talked to before finding the League staff member<br />
:''"That bad League staff member was wearin' some awful shades. And the key to findin’ anyone is to just ask everyone you meet!"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} Eric for the first time<br />
:''"Seems like nobody's seen that bad League staff member anywhere else. I bet they're hidin' somewhere nearby."''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Eric for the second time<br />
:''"Makes sense for a cornered person to seek out the tightest hidin' place, I guess. Don’t s'ppose you got a box lyin' around?"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Eric for the third time<br />
:''"Guess that wraps up [[Oleana]]'s little game. Course, I’m not one to talk, I guess. Team Yell did their fair share of lame tricks... Anyway, let's head to the station."''<br />
:''"Team Yell, go find [[Hop]]! We'll corner that League staff member at the station together!"''<br />
<br />
* {{DL|Wyndon|Wyndon Station}}<br />
:''"You did a crackin' job of cornerin’ that bad League staff member, <player>. Let me sing you a song fittin' of your rockin' deeds!"''<br />
:''"The only thing a humble singer can do is sing a humble song. ♪"''<br />
:''"Maybe I can't cheer someone on just with the tunes I play. ♪"''<br />
:''"Maybe my songs don't make anyone happy. Maybe I can't help. ♪"''<br />
:''"But still the only thing I can do is sing—sing my humble song. ♪"''<br />
:''"<player>! Hop! Now’s your chance! Go! Get outta here!"''<br />
<br />
* Outside [[Rose Tower]]<br />
:''"Times like this—when tension and passion run high—remind me of Spikemuth in the old days. Some right wild concerts we had back then. But no encores!"''<br />
:''"Wait, you're still here?"''<br />
:''"You better get goin'! I'll send some support your way with a yell!"''<br />

[[File: PiersInfinityZone109.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Piers]]<br />
{{main|Piers (Darkness Ablaze 165)}}<br />
'''Piers''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Infinity Zone}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Darkness Ablaze}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[take]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[kirisAki]]. Piers allows the player to search their deck for an {{TCG|Energy card}} and a {{TCG|Dark type}} Pokémon card, reveal them, and put them into their hand. The player then shuffles their deck.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<!--Do not add that he is the only Dark-type Gym Leader. Marnie is also one.--><br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers is the second [[villainous team]] leader to be fought as a [[Gym Leader]], the first being [[Giovanni]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}.<br />
** Like Giovanni, Piers eventually passes on his Gym Leader status to another Trainer. Incidentally, both {{ga|Blue|Giovanni's}} and [[Marnie|Piers's successors]] were introduced as [[rival]]s before becoming Gym Leaders.<br />
** Interestingly, Piers is the first Dark-type Gym Leader, but also keeps with the long tradition of villainous team leaders using Dark-type Pokémon.<br />
* Unlike past villainous team leaders, Piers has no evil intentions or goals. Instead, his only intention is for his sister Marnie to take over his role as Gym Leader.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />

'''Chairman Rose''' (Japanese: '''ローズ''' ''Rose'') is the president of [[Macro Cosmos]] and the chairman of the [[Galar]] [[Pokémon League]]. He was the first person to endorse [[Leon]] as a {{pkmn|Champion}}, and is also currently sponsoring [[Bede]]'s Gym Challenge. He also designed and developed the metropolis of [[Wyndon]], which houses the headquarters for both the Galar Pokémon League and Macro Cosmos.<br />
<!-- Please do not put spoilers in the opening paragraph! --><br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Chairman Rose first appears in the games' introduction movie, where he narrates the "World of Pokémon" presentation alongside his {{p|Cufant}}. He then hosts the opening ceremony for the League Challenge at [[Motostoke Stadium]]. Following the ceremony, he and his secretary [[Oleana]] approach the {{player}} and [[Hop]] to further speak about the challenge.<br />
<br />
Later, the player and [[Sonia]] meet up with Rose and Oleana in [[Hulbury]]. Despite being dressed in casual clothing and sunglasses as a form of disguise, Rose is still surrounded by fans seeking his autograph, much to Oleana's annoyance. After the player defeats [[Nessa]] at [[Hulbury Stadium]], they go with Sonia to meet Rose for dinner at the Captain's Table, a local seafood restaurant.<br />
<br />
Rose next appears in front of [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], discussing his plans with [[Bede]]. He then greets the player and invites them into the stadium to give a short lecture about Galar's energy production, as well as his goal to harness the power in Wishing Stars. Afterwards, Rose suggests that the player visit the vault before leaving to return to work.<br />
<br />
Bede later takes Rose's {{p|Copperajah}} to demolish the mural in [[Stow-on-Side]], looking for Wishing Stars. After he is stopped by the player, Rose shows up to voice his disapproval and disqualify Bede from the Gym Challenge.<br />
<br />
During the player's travels, Rose discusses with [[Leon]] a plan to secure an energy source for Galar that can avert a projected energy crisis 1,000 years in the future. When Hop and the player head to Rose Tower to confront Leon for failing to appear for dinner, they catch a discussion between the two, with Leon arguing that Rose's plan can wait until after the Championship Match and Rose insisting on taking action immediately. He then apologizes for delaying them, but after Leon departs, Rose begins to enact his scheme. He releases {{p|Eternatus}}, which he had been energizing with the Wishing Stars collected by Bede, to enact a second [[Darkest Day]] in order to provide Galar with a near-infinite supply of energy. <br />
<br />
However, Eternatus proves to be impossible to control, and Rose is forced to interrupt the Championship Match between the player and Leon to enlist Leon's help to defeat and catch Eternatus. Hop and the player follow Leon to the [[Energy Plant]] to confront Rose, with Hop being defeated by Rose's Pokémon and Rose in turn losing to the player. After his defeat, Rose applauds the player and invites them and Hop to join Leon at the Tower Summit, confident in Leon's chances of capturing Eternatus. However, while Leon had worn down the Pokémon, he was unable to catch it; and it is only stopped by the combined strength of the player, Hop, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Zamazenta}} before being captured by the player. Rose is not seen again after Eternatus's capture, having turned himself over to the authorities.<br />
<br />
According to Oleana, Rose once worked in a coal mine a long time ago.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Rose's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Mr. Rose is in fact a talented {{pkmn|Trainer}}, coming in second place for a past [[Galar League|Champion Cup]]. As the chairman of the [[Pokémon League]], and as the president of [[Macro Cosmos|a large business conglomerate]], he is truly a hero to the [[Galar]] region, working tirelessly to ensure its prosperity. His thoughts and words don't always match, and thus many say it's hard to tell what he's talking about. In fact, it is said that only [[Oleana|his secretary]] can tell what his true intent is. (NOTE: The above text was submitted by his secretary.)"<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Chairman Rose is a dedicated philanthropist who spent much of his own time and money researching the ancient disaster known as the [[Darkest Day]], all in order to solve Galar's energy issues. He firmly believes that actions speak louder than words and will often make decisions without revealing his thinking to others. For better or for worse, it is this style of leadership that has allowed the Macro Cosmos conglomerate to grow to where it is today. (NOTE: The above text was submitted by his secretary.)"<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Chairman Rose's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />
<br />
===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====<br />
Chairman Rose will [[Gigantamax]] his Copperajah at the first opportunity.<br />

:''"Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokémon!"''<br />
:''"Our beloved Galar region is a wonderful place, with thriving nature..."''<br />
:''"beautiful cities, and many Pokémon with which we share our lives!"''<br />
:''"As you know, our society is able to thrive..."''<br />
:''"thanks to help from these mysterious creatures that we call Pokémon."''<br />
:''"Yes, Pokémon are all around us—in the sea, in the sky, and even with us in our towns!"''<br />
:''"And those of us who choose to raise and train Pokémon to do battle and compete..."''<br />
:''"we call Pokémon Trainers!"''<br />
:''"Oh! But I’m getting carried away. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rose, and it is a pleasure to be here."''<br />
:''"Now turn your gaze to the Galar region’s greatest Pokémon Trainer, your undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}}..."''<br />
:''"It’s time for Champion [[Leon]]’s exhibition match!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Motostoke Stadium]]<br />
* Opening ceremony<br />
:''"Ladies and gentlemen!"''<br />
:''"I am Rose, chairman of the [[Galar League|Pokémon League]]!"''<br />
:''"I know that everyone gathered here..."''<br />
:''"And everyone watching from home have all been waiting for this big moment!"''<br />
:''"It is my pleasure to announce that finally— the Galar region [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] will now begin!"''<br />
:''"Yes, the Gym Challenge!"''<br />
:''"Participants must defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s..."''<br />
:''"And gather the eight Gym [[Badge]]s to prove their skills as a Trainer!"''<br />
:''"Only the most worthy will have the honor of challenging the greatest Champion in history!"''<br />
:''"Now, I would like to invite the Gym Leaders to show themselves!"''<br />
:''"The fighting farmer! Here’s the {{type|Grass}} expert, [[Milo]]!"''<br />
:''"The raging wave! It’s the master of {{t|Water}} types, [[Nessa]]!"''<br />
:''"The ever-burning man of fire! Here comes the {{type|Fire}} veteran, [[Kabu]]!"''<br />

:''"Unfortunately, we’re missing [[Piers|one]], but..."''<br />
:''"These are the Gym Leaders that we in the Galar region are proud to call our own!"''<br />
<br />
* After opening ceremony<br />
:''"So you’re the two Trainers our Champion endorsed himself! Welcome, and it’s a delight to meet you! I’m Rose, of course."''<br />
:''"Oh, and what’s this?! I see you both already possess [[Dynamax Band]]s! How wonderful! It seems you two have been led here by the guiding light of the [[Wishing Star]]s. By the way, it was my wonderful company that invented those Dynamax Bands, you know!"''<br />
:''"I daresay this year's Gym Challenge is looking to be an absolute blast! Very good—very good indeed! That means the whole Galar region is in for some excitement!"''<br />
:''"The Gym Challenge is an excellent opportunity to show off your [[Dynamax]] Pokémon! Now, I’m terribly sorry, but there is some urgent business I need to attend to, so I must be on my way. The best of luck to both of you!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Hulbury]]<br />
:''"No need to rush off! I can still do more autographs! I’ll even give you my [[League Card|Pokémon League Card]]!"''<br />
:''"We need the support of our fans to keep doing what we’re doing. Chasing them off like that... Aren’t you being a bit too harsh, [[Oleana]]?"''<br />
:''"Oh, and you were...?"''<br />
:''"That’s right! [[Bede]]! I daresay I’m impressed how far you’ve come since I gave you that Pokémon all those years ago."''<br />
:''"Will you be the one to win the Gym Challenge? Or perhaps it will be one of the Trainers endorsed by the Champion."''<br />
:''"Ah, your name was...<player>, right? We were just talking about you! I admit I’m curious about Leon’s reasons for endorsing you."''<br />
:''"Ah! I just had a good idea, as I tend to do!"''<br />
:''"You’re going to face Gym Leader Nessa soon, yes? If you get a Gym Badge from her, I’ll hold a celebration. I’d like to get to know you a little better, after all!"''<br />
:''"Please do your best, for the sake of Galar’s future!"''<br />
<br />
;Captain's Table<br />
:''"<player>! Let’s celebrate your recent victory!"''<br />
:''"You two know each other? That’s great! Come now—please be seated."''<br />
:''"Hulbury is a seafood town. Naturally, if one is going to eat here, the obvious choice is the local cuisine! Everything on the menu is delicious."''<br />
:''"By the way, how is Professor Magnolia getting on?"''<br />
:''"I’m quite indebted to her, you know. She was the one who figured out how to unleash the power of Wishing Stars and use that power to Dynamax Pokémon. We would never have been able to create Dynamax Bands without her."''<br />
:''"A Power Spot Detector! That’s the device that allowed me to discover the Power Spots... Locations that emit Galar particles and allow Pokémon to Dynamax!"''<br />
:''"I don’t like hearing that Professor Magnolia is so worried, though. If only there were something I could do..."''<br />
:''"[[Sonia]], it may be good for you to visit the vault in Hammerlocke. I believe the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dynamax phenomenon lies in the history preserved there."''<br />
:''"Hm? But I’ve hardly had a chance to speak with <player>! It’s regrettable, but I suppose it can’t be helped. If something needs to get done, there’s no time like the present, after all! In any case, I bid you all farewell!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Hammerlocke]]<br />
:''"Oh, it’s not just about me. It’s for the future of the whole Galar region."''<br />
:''"And we’ll need more than just Wishing Stars. We need a powerful Pokémon Trainer, too— someone like the Champion."''<br />
:''"That’s the spirit! It takes healthy competition to really keep the Gym Challenge energized!"''<br />
:''"I hope you were listening, <player>."''<br />
:''"As you know, Wishing Stars are those mysterious stones that are even attached to your Dynamax Bands."''<br />
:''"There’s more to Wishing Stars than just making your Pokémon into giants, though! They hold far more energy than that!"''<br />
:''"If you’re curious, you should head to the stadium. In fact, we should head inside right away! I’ll even give you a little lesson on how the Galar region gets its energy!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Hammerlocke Stadium]]<br />
:''"Hammerlocke’s stadium doubles as an Energy Plant."''<br />
:''"Now, have a look at my tablet. I’ve got all the information you need on it."''<br />
:''"See? An easy-to-understand description of the Energy Plant!"''<br />
:''"First, energy is absorbed from Hammerlocke Stadium’s tower..."''<br />
:''"Then, it's changed into electricity in the underground power plant and delivered to people throughout the region!"''<br />
:''"Our lives and society require various types of energy sources, such as electricity, natural gas, and water."''<br />
:''"My associate groups aim to improve everyone’s lives by harnessing the power stored in Wishing Stars!"''<br />
:''"Oh! It's time for me to get to work. I should get a move on before Oleana decides to give me another earful."''<br />
:''"<player>, I suggest you head over to the vault next. Just head toward {{rt|6|Galar}} from the stadium, and you should find the vault without any issues!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Stow-on-Side]]<br />
:''"Young Bede..."''<br />
:''"It pains me to have to say this, but... I am truly disappointed. It’s true that I am the one who found you, back when you were all alone..."''<br />
:''"I saw talent in you. You reminded me a little bit of myself, back when I was young. That’s why I sent you to a Trainers’ school, to give you a chance at success."''<br />
:''"But trying to destroy the mural—part of Galar’s history! You show no love toward Galar! You are clearly not a worthy challenger for the Gym Challenge."''<br />
:''"We will decide what to do with you later. For now, you will return to Hammerlocke."''<br />
:''"Ah, Sonia! And <player>, too. Terrible shame, all this. An absolute disaster. I never wish to see us lose challengers for this sort of reason. Yet we do what we must do to keep things fair and sportsmanlike."''<br />
<br />
;[[Rose Tower]]<br />
:''"Leon. We’ve discussed this a hundred times already. And still you fail to understand what’s at stake? You, who is supposed to be our Champion..."''<br />
:''"No, you don’t understand... You still don’t understand a thing!"''<br />
:''"Look around us, Leon! Look at the Galar region stretched out before us. And know that the energy required to keep this brilliant, glittering world alive will be exhausted a millennium from now! The people of Galar today will no longer even exist. What Galar wants today hardly matters!"''<br />
:''"The future is more important than just one day! We must act as quickly as we possibly can! We must take action in order to avert tragedy! So that all can look forward to a better future!"''<br />
:''"I must apologize to you, [[Hop]], if we've made you worry at all. There are times when adults just can’t seem to have an honest discussion with one another. Sometimes our pride just gets in the way."''<br />
:''"One for the history books... You still don’t understand, young Champion... We... No, I am going to change the course of history!"''<br />
<br />
;Wyndon Stadium (broadcast)<br />
:''"Hello there, Leon and <player>! Just letting you know..."''<br />
:''"I think it’s time I brought about the [[Darkest Day]]. For the sake of Galar's future, of course!"''<br />
:''"But I’m in a bit of a pickle. The energy released by the Darkest Day is too much for us to contain."''<br />
:''"I’m sorry it’s come to this. But it’s you who forced my hand, Leon. You refused to listen!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Energy Plant]]<br />
:''"And what do you plan on doing, Gym Challenger?"''<br />
::'''Stopping the Darkest Day!''': ''"Uh, pardon? What are you talking about? There’s nothing to stop now. We’ve already brought about the Darkest Day...or should I say, the ultimate Pokémon—{{p|Eternatus}}!"''<br />
::'''Helping the Champion''': ''"I’m afraid I can’t allow that. The Champion is the one who needs to control Eternatus."''<br />
:''"Must I explain myself? From your perspective, I suppose it must seem that I am doing something terrible. I don’t expect you to understand. But I must provide the Galar region with limitless energy to ensure everlasting prosperity. It is my purpose, my duty, my destiny!"''<br />
:''"That’s why we’ve been giving the Wishing Stars to Eternatus! Surely you remember the red light that caused a ruckus around Hammerlocke. That was all part of our experiments to awaken Eternatus! You must understand. I can’t let you interfere with my plan to protect the future of Galar!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon receiving first attack<br />
:''"You're pretty tough... Yes, entirely too tough. Don’t you think that's unfair?"''<br />
<br />
* Before sending out final Pokémon<br />
:''"Oh, oh? Down to my last Pokémon... Hmm, this isn't looking too good..."''<br />
<br />
* Before [[Gigantamax]]ing {{p|Copperajah}}<br />
: ''"I'll show you a move that'll hit so hard, you'll be speechless!"''<br />
<br />
* Before using {{m|G-Max Steelsurge}}<br />
:''"All right, then... Hopefully, this move will turn things around for me."''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
: ''"I'd forgotten how great Pokémon battles are! It's been so long since I battled... That sure was satisfying."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Most impressive, <player>!"''<br />
:''"I wouldn’t expect any less from a challenger endorsed by the strongest Champion ever to grace our beloved Galar region!"''<br />
:''"I really do wish I could have seen the Championship Match between you two. And I’m terribly sorry to have ruined the whole Gym Challenge and everything!"''<br />
:''"It’s too bad, but it can’t be helped... In order to solve the energy issue as soon as possible, we awakened Eternatus. But we couldn’t control it. The Champion came to aid me, even at the cost of abandoning the match."''<br />
:''"Indeed, just like a knight in shining armor coming to rescue a princess from a dragon!"''<br />
:''"I do tend to ramble on, I know. I love to make speeches. But I think I can stop talking now."''<br />
:''"I think the Champion should have captured Eternatus by now. If you’re curious, you can take the lift up."''<br />
:''"And I trust you’ll be going too, right, Hop? I certainly hope losing to me didn’t discourage you too much. Go on now, both of you! Go see how our Champion is doing!"''<br />
<br />
* If talked to again<br />
:''"Of course I won’t stop you. Head up via the lift, if you wish!"''<br />

[[File:Rose Twilight Wings.png|thumb|250px|Chairman Rose in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]<br />
Chairman Rose debuted in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he was first seen watching a [[Pokémon League]] tournament battle between [[Leon]] and [[Bea]]. Afterwards, he visited a hospital and signed some children's shirts. Rose was then about to leave when he was approached by {{gal|John}}, a fan of Leon's who wanted him to give Leon a letter. Since John reminded him of Leon, Rose agreed to fulfill his request. Later, he saw the letter contained a drawing of Leon and his {{p|Charizard}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW02|Training]]'', Rose was informed by [[Oleana]] that Bea was going to be {{pkmn|training}} at the [[Wild Area]] for a while and thus be away from her [[Gym]] for the time being. He approved of Bea's decision and expressed his hope that she wouldn't push herself too hard.<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', Rose approached [[Nessa]] following her loss to [[Milo]] during the [[Galar League|Champions Cup]]. He implied to Nessa that her competing duties as a [[Gym Leader]] and a model were responsible for her loss, and that she should stop modeling if she wanted to reach higher.<br />
<br />
In ''[[TW05|Assistant]]'', Rose's past with Oleana is explored, revealing how her research won his admiration. In the present day, he called Oleana over to accompany him after an intense day of work.<br />

He praised Sōdo's potential as a Gym Challenger and showed the boys a video of Hulbury's [[Gym Leader]], [[Nessa]]. Later, Rose ate with Sōdo and [[Sonia]] at the Captain's Table restaurant. Noting Sonia's investigation of the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon, Rose suggested she should investigate the vault in [[Hammerlocke]].<br />

'''Piers''' (Japanese: '''ネズ''' ''Nezu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Spikemuth]] and the captain of [[Team Yell]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Dark}} to Trainers who defeat him. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he retires from his position as a Gym Leader and passes the title on to his little sister, [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Piers is the seventh Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. He is well known for writing songs and singing as he regularly does so in [[Spikemuth]]. More often he tends to reveal his strategy to his opponents, yet he has the strength and skills to win regardless. Spikemuth is the only Gym in Galar not built over a Power Spot; previously, [[Chairman Rose]] had asked Piers to relocate his Gym to a faraway Power Spot, but Piers refused and opted to be the only Gym Leader not to use [[Dynamax]]. As a result, the town is rarely visited by fans, which Piers blames himself for letting his home fall into obscurity and dilapidation. He has been desperately trying to support the town with his {{type|Dark}} Pokémon but often gets frustrated with the limits of his strength<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/dark-type-gym-leader-piers/</ref>.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Piers is the only Gym Leader absent from the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony in [[Motostoke]]. He makes his first appearance once the player clears the [[Spikemuth]] Gym Challenge, where it is revealed that the {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s are actually Spikemuth {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in disguise, and that their leader is Piers. After the player defeats Piers, Marnie approaches him for her turn at the Gym Challenge. Their conversation reveals that Piers had previously planned to stand down as Gym Leader after the [[Champion Cup]] ended and pass down the role to his little sister. However, Marnie refused the offer, stating that she could not be a Gym Leader if she succeeds in becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. <br />
<br />
After the player defeats Marnie in the Champion Cup Semifinals in [[Wyndon]], Piers rededicates Team Yell to cheering on the player instead. He and Team Yell assist the player and [[Hop]] in accessing [[Rose Tower]] by helping them find the {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} League staff hiding the monorail key needed to reach the tower.<br />
<br />
Piers plays a vital role in helping to stop the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon created by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Having now stepped down as a Gym Leader following the Champion Cup's conclusion, he accompanies the player and Hop to all the stadiums in [[Galar]] to help their Gym Leaders defeat the Dynamax Pokémon. After the player captures {{p|Zacian}}{{sup/8|Sw}}/{{p|Zamazenta}}{{sup/8|Sh}}, Piers gives them his rare League Card and returns to Spikemuth, where he can be found giving a concert to the members of Team Yell. He can also appear as an opponent in the player's Champion tournaments despite no longer being a Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Piers's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"[[Spikemuth]] lacks a Power Spot that would allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]], and thus not many fans come to visit the town. Piers feels responsible for allowing his town to fall into obscurity and dilapidation. Once in battle, Piers tends to get riled up and will often reveal his strategy early on, but he has the strength and skill to triumph regardless. However, his true passions are singing and song writing, and his talents in these fields are well-known. As such, he currently hopes that his [[Marnie|younger sister]] will take over as [[Gym Leader]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Here are some words from Piers when he first became the Gym Leader of Spikemuth. "Uh... ... ... The name's Piers. It's too bad we can't Dynamax our Pokémon in Spikemuth, but you could say we have a more authentic style of [[Pokémon battle]]s. And I plan on showin' that off. And well... I have a younger sister, and she's got way more talent than me. But until she's old enough to become Gym Leader, I'll keep rockin' with my crew and make sure Spikemuth stays lively!""<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Piers keeps his Pokémon in [[Dusk Ball]]s.<br />

;[[Spikemuth]]<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"*sigh*... So you're finally here, huh?"''<br />
:''"See, I'm...I'm really not a great Gym Leader. Figured that's why nobody was comin' to challenge me."''<br />
:''"I have good ears, so I overheard the whole thing about the city bein' shut up. When I was alone, it was like my soul was weepin'."''<br />
:''"This is a simple Gym Stadium. We can't even [[Dynamax]] our Pokémon, but well... I still hope you enjoy the battle."''<br />
:''"Now then..."''<br />
:''"I'm the Gym Leader of Spikemuth, Piers, the {{type|Dark}} [[Type expert|user]]!"''<br />
:''"You wanna challenge me, even though you know you'll lose? Then this song's for you, foolish Trainer!"''<br />
:''"Get ready for a mosh pit with me and my party! Spikemuth, it's time to rock!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out {{p|Scrafty}}<br />
:''"Everyone, cheer on my Pokémon! Let's do it, Scrafty! {{a|Intimidate}} the opponent!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out {{p|Malamar}}<br />

:''"Time to meet another member of my crew! Face the proud, high roar of my Obstagoon!"''<br />
<br />
* Before sending out his last Pokémon<br />
:''"I don't do encores, get it? Not songs... Not moves... Not Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* Commanding Obstagoon to use {{m|Throat Chop}}<br />
:''"Here's a number I had saved just for this! You lot in the stands better cheer me on!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"Me an' my team gave it our best. Let's meet up again for a battle some time..."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"I'm glad we were able to battle. Seems like my Pokémon feel the same way."''<br />
:''"Here's your {{badge|Dark}}."''<br />
:''"Here's a uniform, too... I’ve actually been thinkin' about just sellin' them at my concerts."''<br />
:''"My little sis [[Marnie]]'s gonna challenge me next, I bet."''<br />
:''"Do you want to go back to the reception area?"''<br />
:''"So you were watchin', Sis... You won't learn anythin' from seein' me lose."''<br />
:''"That right? That reminds me. Marnie, there's somethin' I wanted to tell you."''<br />
:''"I want you to take over the Gym here in Spikemuth as its Gym Leader."''<br />
:''"Good point. In that case, let your big bro see if you have the skill to be a {{pkmn|Champion}}!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Wyndon]]<br />
* {{DL|Wyndon|Rose of the Rondelands}}<br />
:''"Kid's sure got a mouth on him, huh? If you were that noisy durin' battle, you'd unleash a whole new level of power, you know."''<br />
:''"Judgin' by appearances? No wonder you lost to {{player|your mate}}."''<br />
:''"If you're lookin' for [[Leon|the Champion]], I saw him headin' to [[Rose Tower]]."''<br />
:''"Dunno what he's up to, but I ran into him at the monorail platform. He said to tell you that he had somethin' to do at Rose Tower, so he'd be late to your dinner."''<br />
:''"Sheesh... What rude siblings, always so demandin' of others."''<br />
:''"Though I s'ppose... It's a real problem for me, too, if the Finals are held up for any reason. And I don't really hate the two of you little runts. You were good enough to beat me, after all."''<br />
:''"So I think I'll invite [[Team Yell]] along, and we'll all have ourselves a bit of fun. Shall we?"''<br />
<br />
* Outside the hotel<br />
:''"We decided that Team Yell will cheer you on, <player>. Let's help out together."''<br />
:''"Tch. This isn't good! But I got this one!"''<br />
:''"<player>! Team Yell's yellin' will handle this!"''<br />
:''"For now, we should try to head to the plaza together, right?"''<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"All right, let's all work together and head for Rose Tower."''<br />
::'''No''': ''"Hmm. You should be able to get to the plaza yourself, right?"''<br />
<br />
* Upon arriving at the plaza<br />
:''"Let's find Oleana's League staff member. That bad one was wearin' those lame shades, right?"''<br />
<br />
* If talked to before finding the League staff member<br />
:''"That bad League staff member was wearin' some awful shades. And the key to findin’ anyone is to just ask everyone you meet!"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} Eric for the first time<br />
:''"Seems like nobody's seen that bad League staff member anywhere else. I bet they're hidin' somewhere nearby."''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Eric for the second time<br />
:''"Makes sense for a cornered person to seek out the tightest hidin' place, I guess. Don’t s'ppose you got a box lyin' around?"''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Eric for the third time<br />
:''"Guess that wraps up [[Oleana]]'s little game. Course, I’m not one to talk, I guess. Team Yell did their fair share of lame tricks... Anyway, let's head to the station."''<br />
:''"Team Yell, go find [[Hop]]! We'll corner that League staff member at the station together!"''<br />
<br />
* {{DL|Wyndon|Wyndon Station}}<br />
:''"You did a crackin' job of cornerin’ that bad League staff member, <player>. Let me sing you a song fittin' of your rockin' deeds!"''<br />
:''"The only thing a humble singer can do is sing a humble song. ♪"''<br />
:''"Maybe I can't cheer someone on just with the tunes I play. ♪"''<br />
:''"Maybe my songs don't make anyone happy. Maybe I can't help. ♪"''<br />
:''"But still the only thing I can do is sing—sing my humble song. ♪"''<br />
:''"<player>! Hop! Now’s your chance! Go! Get outta here!"''<br />
<br />
* Outside [[Rose Tower]]<br />
:''"Times like this—when tension and passion run high—remind me of Spikemuth in the old days. Some right wild concerts we had back then. But no encores!"''<br />
:''"Wait, you're still here?"''<br />
:''"You better get goin'! I'll send some support your way with a yell!"''<br />

<!--<br />
==In the manga==--><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<!--Do not add that he is the only Dark-type Gym Leader. Marnie is also one.--><br />
* Piers's uniform number is "061", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 悪い ''warui'', meaning "bad".<br />
* Piers is the second [[villainous team]] leader to be fought as a [[Gym Leader]], the first being [[Giovanni]] in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}.<br />
** Like Giovanni, Piers eventually passes on his Gym Leader status to another Trainer. Incidentally, both {{ga|Blue|Giovanni's}} and [[Marnie|Piers's]] successors were introduced as [[rival]]s before becoming Gym Leaders.<br />
** Interestingly, Piers is the first Dark-type Gym Leader, but also keeps with the long tradition of villainous team leaders using Dark-type Pokémon.<br />
* Unlike past villainous team leaders, Piers has no evil intentions or goals. Instead, his only intention is for his sister Marnie to take over his role as Gym Leader.<br />
* Piers's battle music contains remixed parts from [[N]]'s final battle theme from {{game|Black and White|s}} and the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] theme.<br />

'''Melony''' (Japanese: '''メロン''' ''Melon'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Circhester]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Circhester Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Ice}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], her son [[Gordie]] takes her place as Circhester's Gym Leader instead.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Melony is the sixth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in Pokémon Shield. She has been the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]] since her twenties. She is also the only known Gym Leader to have ever defeated [[Raihan]], who is said to be the strongest Gym Leader in the [[Galar League]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/ice-type-gym-leader-melony/</ref> At one point, she wanted her son [[Gordie]] to run the [[Circhester Stadium|Gym]] as her successor. However, her son wanted to be a {{type|Rock}} user instead. This led to a {{pkmn|battle}} that caused the whole town to split, with the two never speaking to each other again. Despite this, Melony somehow became the first member of Gordie's fan club.<br />
<br />
While normally generous and bighearted, she loves to battle hard, along with hitting the opponent's weak spot with unflinching accuracy. Her battle style is described as severe and stoic. It is believed her harsh battle style was influenced by the fight she had with her son. Melony's Gym is considered a major roadblock by many Gym Challengers who visits it. The reason is due to the powerful {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s having been trained by her strict and very effective coaching.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Melony's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Melony has been a [[Gym Leader]] since she was in her twenties. She is also known as a very effective coach, but her coaching style is incredibly strict. Her battle style is fittingly severe and stoic, as well. Any {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s who manage to remain under Melony are sure to be powerful opponents. Thus many see [[Circhester Stadium]] as a major roadblock for Gym Challengers. Many quietly speculate that Melony's harsh battle style is due to a fight she had with [[Gordie|her son]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Melony wanted Gordie to take over as the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]], while Gordie wanted to dedicate himself to {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. The [[Pokémon battle]] between the two ended up dividing the whole town. Ever since that day, Melony and Gordie hardly ever see each other. That being said, Melony supposedly managed to become the first member of Gordie's fan club. Gordie seems to have a complicated expression in their photo together, but then again, that may just be one's own imagination..."<br />

'''Melony''' (Japanese: '''メロン''' ''Melon'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Circhester]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Circhester Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Ice}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], her son [[Gordie]] takes her place as Circhester's Gym Leader instead.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Melony is the sixth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in Pokémon Shield. She has been the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]] since her twenties. She is also the only known Gym Leader to have ever defeated [[Raihan]], who is said to be the strongest Gym Leader in the [[Galar League]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/ice-type-gym-leader-melony/</ref> At one point, she wanted her son [[Gordie]] to run the [[Circhester Stadium|Gym]] as her successor. However, her son wanted to be a {{type|Rock}} user instead. This led to a {{pkmn|battle}} that caused the whole town to split, with the two never speaking to each other again. Despite this, Melony somehow became the first member of Gordie's fan club.<br />
<br />
While normally generous and bighearted, she loves to battle hard, along with hitting the opponent's weak spot with unflinching accuracy. Her battle style is described as severe and stoic. It is believed her harsh battle style was influenced by the fight she had with her son. Melony's Gym is considered a major roadblock by many Gym Challengers who visits it. The reason is due to the powerful {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s having been trained by her strict and very effective coaching.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Melony's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Melony has been a [[Gym Leader]] since she was in her twenties. She is also known as a very effective coach, but her coaching style is incredibly strict. Her battle style is fittingly severe and stoic, as well. Any {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s who manage to remain under Melony are sure to be powerful opponents. Thus many see [[Circhester Stadium]] as a major roadblock for Gym Challengers. Many quietly speculate that Melony's harsh battle style is due to a fight she had with [[Gordie|her son]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Melony wanted Gordie to take over as the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]], while Gordie wanted to dedicate himself to {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. The [[Pokémon battle]] between the two ended up dividing the whole town. Ever since that day, Melony and Gordie hardly ever see each other. That being said, Melony supposedly managed to become the first member of Gordie's fan club. Gordie seems to have a complicated expression in their photo together, but then again, that may just be one's own imagination..."<br />

Gordie is the sixth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in Pokémon Sword. He is believed to have received his education from his mother [[Melony]] who was the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/rock-type-gym-leader-gordie/</ref> However instead of becoming an {{type|Ice}} user like his mom, he chose to apprentice at a {{type|Rock}} due him admiring that type more and find his own path to greatness. This resulted in two having a fall out after a heated battle, which neither seeing each other since. There are few {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in his Gym due to his strict training style.<br />
<br />
As a rising star, many believed he has the potential of becoming the [[Galar League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Gordie uses {{type|Rock}} Pokémon to achieve victory through refined and graceful battle style, despite the type's rough and unrelenting reputation. He is considered one of the strongest Galar Trainers in terms of popularity and skills. He has tendency to shut himself away in locker room should he lose, making it hard to get an interview from him. Most of his fans find this trait to be endearing regardless. He has quite the fanbase, and he tries his best to make the fans happy by either giving out autographs or hosting events. Currently, there are three photo albums on Gordie that were created by his fanbase.<br />

===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Gordie's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Gordie is a young rising star that many suspect will be the {{pkmn|Champion}} someday. Though {{type|Rock}} Pokémon are typically known for being rough and unrelenting, Gordie has worked hard to achieve victory through a refined and graceful battle style. He always tries to keep his fans happy and thus is very popular among the audience. On the other hand, he has the surprising tendency of shutting himself away in the locker room when he is defeated, making postdefeat interviews a rarity. This doesn't bother most of his fans, though, and they see this behavior as endearing."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Gordie is one of the top {{pkmn|Trainers}} of the [[Galar]] region, both in terms of popularity and skill. His strict training style means that his Gym has few {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, but he does have quite a fan base. Gordie does his best to make sure his fans are happy, often seen giving out autographs or hosting events. There are currently three photo albums of Gordie, all published through the support of his fan base. This card shows another special photo, taken specifically for this purpose at a photo studio."<br />

'''Opal''' (Japanese: '''ポプラ''' ''Poplar'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat her. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], she chooses [[Bede]] as her successor and passes her Gym Leader title on to him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Opal is designated the fifth Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Opal became the [[Ballonlea]] [[Gym Leader]] at the age of 18, inheriting the position from her mother, and she has held it for 70 years. As revealed in [[The Isle of Armor]], 50 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], she battled against [[Mustard]] for the title of [[Galar League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was defeated, despite her {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon having a type advantage over Mustard's {{t|Fighting}} types. Opal is also known by her nickname, "wizard", due to her supposed ability to predict her opponents' moves in battle.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fairy-type-gym-leader-opal/</ref> Due to her old age by the time of Sword and Shield, her Gym mission doubles as an audition to seek a successor for herself.<br />
<br />
Opal is first seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] for the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony. She later appears on {{rt|6|Galar}}, watching as the player and [[Hop]] battle a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s, and at [[Stow-on-Side]] to observe the player's battle with Hop. After being defeated in a Gym battle, she offers to escort the player to [[Hammerlocke]] so that they can get to their next Gym sooner. In Hammerlocke, she notices [[Bede]] and instantly sees him as a worthy successor, taking him with her back to Ballonlea. By the time of the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon]], Opal has officially passed her mantle as a Fairy-type Gym Leader to Bede, although she still occasionally shows up at the Gym to give him advice. Due to her retirement, Opal does not participate in the post-game [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournaments]].<br />
<br />
===League Cards=== <br />
This is a transcript of the back of Opal's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Opal is the oldest [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] region. She took over for her mother 70 years ago and has kept the position since. However, she feels that her own values have reached their limits, and thus she is currently looking for a worthy successor. She claims that she gives deliberately tricky quizzes because people reveal their true colors when in a pinch, but many speculate that in reality, she does it out of pure spite."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Opal has thrust the duties of Gym Leader onto [[Bede]], who had his [[Galar League|Gym Challenger]] status revoked. That being said, she still shows up at the Gym Stadium every day, giving unsolicited advice, coming up with new quiz questions, and practicing various performances. What is this "pink" she insisted others show her? Maybe a clue lies in a comment she made during an old interview. "Keep thinking about the right answer, and eventually you'll create the right answer.""<br />

===Pokémon===<br />
Opal keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />

:''"You're one of the Gym Challengers endorsed by [[Leon]], aren't you?"''<br />
:''"My name's Opal. If you want to know more, have a look at my [[League Card]]."''<br />
:''"I'll keep an eye on you, child. I want to see what you can do when you go all out."''<br />
<br />
;[[Stow-on-Side]]<br />
:''"[[Hop|That child]]... Gym Challengers should battle for the sake of their own Pokémon. Why worry about saving the Champion's name? We all know he's unbeatable."''<br />
:''"Anyway, here’s something for letting me watch your battle."''<br />
:''"Now, on you go, child. You're headed to the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium|Stow-on-Side Gym]] next, no? The Gym Challenge is about having fun."''<br />
<br />
;[[Ballonlea Stadium]]<br />
* Before [[Gym]] mission<br />
:''"Ah, there you are, my dear Gym Challenger. Though you are really lacking in the color pink. See, I'm looking for a successor to take on the role of Gym Leader here. So my Gym mission serves as an audition of sorts, too. Oh, don't worry. It's simple enough. All you need to do is battle my {{tc|Gym Trainer|Trainers}} and answer the questions they ask along the way. Think carefully before answering, though, child. If you get the wrong answer, the [[statistic|stats]] of your Pokémon will get lowered. Oh, but if you answer correctly, your Pokémon will get a stat boost. Just think of it as a little {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon magic to make things interesting. Now, I want you to go all out. Show me what you can do!"''<br />
<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"I suppose it's a bit late to introduce myself, but... I'm Opal, the Gym Leader. I've gotten a good look at how you handled those quizzes. The last part of the mission is me... Let me have a look at how you and your partner Pokémon behave!"''<br />
<br />
* First question<br />
:''"Question! You... Do you know my nickname?"''<br />
::'''The magic-user''': ''"Bzzzt! Too bad."''<br />
::'''The wizard''': ''"Ding ding ding! Congratulations, you're correct."''<br />
<br />
* Second question<br />
:''"Question! What is my favorite color?"''<br />
::'''Pink''': ''"That's what I like to see in other people, but it's not what I like for myself."''<br />
::'''Purple''': ''"Yes, a nice, deep purple... Truly grand, don't you think?"''<br />
<br />
* Third question<br />
:''"Question! All righty then... How old am I?"''<br />
::'''16 years old''': ''"Hah! I like your answer!"''<br />
::'''88 years old''': ''"Well, you're not wrong. But you could've been a little more sensitive."''<br />
<br />
* Upon sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"My morning tea is finally kicking in, and not a moment too soon!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon activating [[Gigantamax]]<br />
:''"Are you prepared? I'm going to have some fun with this."''<br />
<br />
* Upon using {{m|G-Max Finale}}<br />
:''"You lack pink! Here, let us give you some."''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"Your pink is still lacking, but you're an excellent Trainer with {{tt|an|If the player has only one Pokémon in their party}}/{{tt|some|If the player has more than one Pokémon in their party}} excellent Pokémon."''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"Well, good try. Not bad, not bad at all. Still, not what I'm looking for... Oh, don’t worry yourself about it, child. It's just a matter of my preference. I'll find the next Gym Leader elsewhere. In fact, I've already got an idea about where to look. Too bad about the audition, but here's a {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} for your efforts."''<br />
:''"Take [[TM87|this TM]] with you, too. A little bonus from this old lady."''<br />
:''"Lastly, here's a little something for humoring me. This might help add a little more pink to you!"''<br />
:''"Of course it's not good to neglect your elders, but old folk like me should also know when it's time to step out of the spotlight."''<br />
<br />
;[[Ballonlea]]<br />
:''"Hold on now."''<br />
:''"I’ve got a few errands to run in Hammerlocke. Care to join me for the journey? If you're headed for [[Circhester Stadium|the next Gym Stadium]], you'll need to get to Hammerlocke, too, after all."''<br />
::'''With pleasure!''': ''"They say two's company, after all."''<br />
::'''I'll find my own way''': ''"I like that attitude, child. Still, you're in the middle of the Gym Challenge, are you not? You'll need to head back to Hammerlocke either way if you want to get to [[Circhester]]."''<br />
<br />
;[[Hammerlocke]]<br />
* Upon arriving, if traveled with Opal<br />
:''"Hammerlocke—always such a dusty town. Though I suppose some Pokémon prefer it that way."''<br />
<br />
* Upon encountering [[Bede]]<br />
:''"Hm? That boy..."''<br />
:''"Now that's what I would call pink! So sincere and straightforward and yet so twisted and misguided... I like it! That's the kind of thing that gives people some depth!"''<br />
:''"Time for my Gym mission, child!"''<br />
:''"Pink!"''<br />
:''"Pink!"''<br />
:''"And pink!"''<br />
:''"Congratulations, child!"''<br />
:''"You were used by [[Oleana]]—am I right? You worked hard to gather [[Wishing Star]]s for her, only to have her throw you away like rubbish once she was done with you..."''<br />
:''"Come with me, child. I might be able to help you out. Of course, it all depends on how much hard work you're willing to put in, too."''<br />
:''"Farewell for now, {{player|child}}. You should head to Circhester. I take it you know how to get to {{rt|7|Galar}}."''<br />
<br />
;Ballonlea Stadium ([[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]])<br />
* Upon arriving<br />
:''"Don't always be in such a hurry, [[Hop|boy]]. You aced my quiz, so show a little composure."''<br />
:''"Bede has already quieted three [[Dynamax]] Pokémon. He's given you the luxury of some extra time."''<br />
:''"Bede's life won't be bound by what other people say any longer. Although I certainly influenced a few of his decisions not too long ago."''<br />
<br />
* After defeating Bede<br />
:''"Now, that's what I would call a perfectly pink [[Pokémon battle]]!"''<br />

{{-}}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Opal's uniform number is "910", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for キュート ''kyūto'', meaning "cute".<br />
* Due to her retirement, Opal is the only [[Gym Leader]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] who cannot be [[rematch]]ed.<br />
** Opal is also the only [[Galar]] Gym Leader to not appear on the [[Isle of Armor]].<br />
* The in-game model of Opal has the logo of {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|HIJIKI OKA}} printed on its uniform, similar to those of [[Ballonlea Stadium]] {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s and Gym Leader [[Bede]]. However, it is almost never visible during actual gameplay.<br />
* Opal has failed both [[Leon]] and [[Sonia]] for the audition of Gym Leader. Leon only got one answer correct, while Sonia answered all three questions correctly. Opal noted that while both were talented {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Leon was hard to read, and Sonia gave up a little too quickly.<br />

'''Kabu''' (Japanese: '''カブ''' ''Kabu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Motostoke]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Motostoke Stadium]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Fire}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
{{incomplete|section|Kabu's biography}}<br />
Kabu is designated the thrid Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. However, Kabu is also known to be the first real challenge in the Gym Challenge. Often, Trainers give up due to being unable to defeat him. Kabu was originally a Trainer from [[Hoenn]] who was invited to the [[Galar League]]. He is the current Leader of the [[Motostoke Stadium|Motostoke Gym]]. He lost the Gym position at one point but regained back several years later in glorious fashion.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fire-gym-leader-kabu/</ref> He made several attempts to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} but could never reach it. He attempted a no-holds-barred approach to winning his fights, but was not satisfied with the results. He even dropped to the minor division of Galar League. However after facing off against [[Leon]], he regained faith in his potential. He also develops a more unrelentingly positive outlook on life as a result, battling to win with every intention with his {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Kabu's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Kabu is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who was invited from the [[Hoenn]] region. There were a few times where he was very close to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, but victory always seemed to elude him at the last moment. Because of this, he adopted a no-holds-barred approach to {{pkmn|battle|battling}} for a time, but even that did not bring the results he wanted. He even dropped to the minor division at one point, but after a fantastic battle with [[Leon]], he regained faith in his own potential. His motto is to keep learning and training as long as he is alive."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Interview with Challenger Kabu<br>Q: How do you see your own battle style?<br>Kabu: "Just, straightforward, direct. I'm still young, so I try to keep things simple. Just burn as hot as I can, you know? Still, I've hit a bit of a losing streak, so I've tried incorporating {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} into my Pokémon's move set. That's one thing I want to tell everyone—experiment with every possibility of your Pokémon. [[Move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], [[item]]s... Try everything, and there's sure to be a path forward!"<br />
<br />

Kabu keeps his Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />

'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Marnie]]. He initially [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by [[Opal]] to succeed her as a {{type|Fairy}} [[Gym Leader]], and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], he gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is a prideful young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Chairman Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his {{p|Hatterene}}, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, he has been gathering [[Wishing Star]]s in large quantities to help the Chairman realize his ambition. However, in his zealous pursuit of Wishing Stars, Bede brings harm to a historic landmark in [[Stow-on-Side]], and he is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.<br />
<br />
After the player returns from [[Ballonlea]] to [[Hammerlocke]] with the [[Badge#Fairy Badge Galar|Fairy Badge]], Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interrupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] and demanding to battle the player, staking his career on his victory. After losing, Bede, who had begun to regret accepting Opal's offer, reveals he was planning on using the result of the battle as an excuse to get away from his mentor. However, after hearing the crowd cheer him on despite his loss, he feels obligated to continue training, figuring he will be able to completely take over for Opal soon.<br />
<br />
After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader [[Piers]] head to [[Ballonlea Stadium]] while trying to stop [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Bede's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Bede spent some time living in an orphanage after his family ran into some trouble when he was young. He always had difficulty getting along with others and would constantly get into fights. That is until one day [[Chairman Rose]] visited the facility. Rose gave Bede a Pokémon, which changed Bede's life forever. He showed talent as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and threw himself into [[Pokémon battle]]s, becoming stronger by the day. He has joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with an endorsement from the chairman himself, and Bede plans to prove that the chairman's faith was not misplaced."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"He was appointed by the former [[Gym Leader]] [[Opal]] to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. The general consensus is that Opal's harsh training has in fact mellowed him out. Though he himself has never confirmed nor denied this, it should be noted that he no longer refuses to give autographs. Additionally, it seems his skills as a Pokémon Trainer have also increased rather dramatically. Recently, his intrusion during the Finals of the Champion Cup has gained popularity, and fans wish to see that kind of performance again. Bede himself is not sure how to react."<br />

Bede debuted in [[PASS06]]. He was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. After the others went inside, [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.<br />

{{main|Bede (Sword & Shield 157)}}<br />
'''Bede''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets|V Starter Set Lightning}}. It later appeared in the Japanese {{TCG|Sword}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Naoki Saito]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows the player to attach a basic {{TCG|Energy card}} from their hand to one of their Benched Pokémon.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Bede's uniform number is "908", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for クレバー ''kurebā'', meaning "clever".<br />
* Bede is left-handed.<br />
* The logo of [[Rose Tower]] can be seen on the back of Bede's jacket. The same logo is printed on the uniforms of certain [[Macro Cosmos's (Trainer_class)|Macro Cosmos employees]].<br />
* Bede is the only notable male {{type|Fairy}} [[Type expert|expert]].<br />
* Bede is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} to change his type specialization during a game, going from {{type|Psychic}} to Fairy-type.<br />
** He is also the second Trainer known to have changed his type specialization overall, following [[Jasmine]], who used to train {{type|Rock}} before becoming the {{type|Steel}} expert she currently is.<br />
* A portion of Bede's battle theme is remixed from the music used during the final battle of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.<br />

'''Melony''' (Japanese: '''メロン''' ''Melon'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Circhester]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Circhester Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Ice}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], her son [[Gordie]] takes her place as Circhester's Gym Leader instead.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Melony is the sixth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in Pokémon Shield. She has been the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]] since her twenties. She is also the only known Gym Leader to have ever defeated [[Raihan]], who is said to be the strongest Gym Leader in the [[Galar League]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/ice-type-gym-leader-melony/</ref> At one point, she wanted her son [[Gordie]] to run the [[Circhester Stadium|Gym]] as her successor. However, her son wanted to be a {{type|Rock}} user instead. This led to a battle that caused the whole town to split, with the two never speaking to each other again. Despite this, Melony somehow became the first member of Gordie's fan club.<br />
<br />
While normally generous and bighearted, she loves to battle hard along with hitting the opponent's weak spot with unflinching accuracy. Her battle style is described as severe and stoic. It is believed her harsh battle style was influenced by the fight she had with her son. Melony's Gym is considered a major roadblock by many Gym Challengers who visits it. The reason is due to the powerful {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s having been trained by her strict and very effective coaching.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Melony's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Melony has been a [[Gym Leader]] since she was in her twenties. She is also known as a very effective coach, but her coaching style is incredibly strict. Her battle style is fittingly severe and stoic, as well. Any {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s who manage to remain under Melony are sure to be powerful opponents. Thus many see [[Circhester Stadium]] as a major roadblock for Gym Challengers. Many quietly speculate that Melony's harsh battle style is due to a fight she had with [[Gordie|her son]]."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"Melony wanted Gordie to take over as the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]], while Gordie wanted to dedicate himself to {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. The [[Pokémon battle]] between the two ended up dividing the whole town. Ever since that day, Melony and Gordie hardly ever see each other. That being said, Melony supposedly managed to become the first member of Gordie's fan club. Gordie seems to have a complicated expression in their photo together, but then again, that may just be one's own imagination..."<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Melony keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />

'''Bede''' (Japanese: '''ビート''' ''Beet'') is one of the [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the others being [[Hop]] and [[Marnie]]. He initially [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but is eventually scouted by [[Opal]] to succeed her as a {{type|Fairy}} [[Gym Leader]], and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], he gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Bede is one of the {{player}}'s [[rival]]s. He is a prideful young man who had been personally sponsored by [[Chairman Rose]], who gave Bede his first Pokémon, later revealed to be his {{p|Hatterene}}, upon visiting his orphanage when he was a child. While he is competing in the Gym Challenge to become {{pkmn|Champion}}, he has been gathering [[Wishing Star]]s in large quantities to help the Chairman realize his ambition. However, in his zealous pursuit of Wishing Stars, Bede brings harm to a historic landmark in [[Stow-on-Side]], and he is disowned by Rose and disqualified from the Gym Challenge.<br />
<br />
After the player returns from [[Ballonlea]] to [[Hammerlocke]] with the [[Badge#Fairy Badge Galar|Fairy Badge]], Opal notices the sulking Bede and is struck with inspiration, asking him to become her successor. Bede reluctantly agrees, believing he will become stronger in the process. Bede eventually returns as a [[Gym Leader]], interrupting the finals of the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] and demanding to battle the player, staking his career on his victory. After losing, Bede, who had begun to regret accepting Opal's offer, reveals he was planning on using the result of the battle as an excuse to get away from his mentor. However, after hearing the crowd cheer him on despite his loss, he feels obligated to continue training, figuring he will be able to completely take over for Opal soon.<br />
<br />
After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player, Hop, and former Gym Leader [[Piers]] head to [[Ballonlea Stadium]] while trying to stop [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], but in the lobby, Bede confidently declares that he has taken care of the [[Dynamax]] Pokémon running rampant in his Stadium already. The player's group attempts to leave but Bede refuses to let them go until he has a battle with the new Champion. After some assurance from Opal, the group decides to indulge Bede. During the battle, Bede acknowledges the player's strength, and after being defeated, accepts them as Champion. A more humble Trainer now, Bede swears he'll overcome his weakness and, in his words, "reach the pinnacle of what Fairy types can do."<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Bede's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Bede spent some time living in an orphanage after his family ran into some trouble when he was young. He always had difficulty getting along with others and would constantly get into fights. That is until one day [[Chairman Rose]] visited the facility. Rose gave Bede a Pokémon, which changed Bede's life forever. He showed talent as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and threw himself into [[Pokémon battle]]s, becoming stronger by the day. He has joined the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] with an endorsement from the chairman himself, and Bede plans to prove that the chairman's faith was not misplaced."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"He was appointed by the former [[Gym Leader]] [[Opal]] to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. The general consensus is that Opal's harsh training has in fact mellowed him out. Though he himself has never confirmed nor denied this, it should be noted that he no longer refuses to give autographs. Additionally, it seems his skills as a Pokémon Trainer have also increased rather dramatically. Recently, his intrusion during the Finals of the Champion Cup has gained popularity, and fans wish to see that kind of performance again. Bede himself is not sure how to react."<br />

*After sending out last Pokémon<br />
:''"Excellent! Not everyone can corner my team like this!"''<br />

*Upon being defeated<br />

<br />
*After being defeated<br />
:''"Ah, pardon me. It seems I must take back my words."''<br />
:''"You're not weak—you just lack talent. Your chances of completing the Gym Challenge are pretty slim, I must say. Here, I'll give you this. Something to show you at least tried."''<br />

Bede debuted in [[PASS06]]. He was first seen in front of the [[Galar Mine]], unable to enter due to a large boulder blocking the entrance. [[Shirudomiria Tate|Shirudomiria]], [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] combined their Pokémon's attacks to move the boulder. After the others went inside, [[Sōdo Tsurugi|Sōdo]] pointed out that Bede was protecting the boulder and speculated his goal was to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s found inside the mine. Later, everyone gathered at [[Turffield Stadium]], where they each fought a Gym battle against [[Milo]] and won.<br />

'''Bede''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets|V Starter Set Lightning}}.

==Trivia==<br />
* Bede's uniform number is "908", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for クレバー ''kurebā'', meaning "clever".<br />
* Bede is left-handed.<br />
* The logo of [[Rose Tower]] can be seen on the back of Bede's jacket. The same logo is printed on the uniforms of certain [[Macro Cosmos's (Trainer_class)|Macro Cosmos employees]].<br />
* Bede is the only notable male {{type|Fairy}} [[Type expert|expert]].<br />
* Bede is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} to change his type specialization during a game, going from {{type|Psychic}} to Fairy-type.<br />
** He is also the second Trainer known to have changed his type specialization overall, following [[Jasmine]], who used to train {{type|Rock}} before becoming the {{type|Steel}} expert she currently is.<br />
* A portion of Bede's battle theme is remixed from the music used during the final battle of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.<br />

'''Bea''' (Japanese: '''サイトウ''' ''Saitō'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Stow-on-Side]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Fighting}} to Trainers who defeat her. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]], [[Allister]] takes her place as Stow-on-Side's Gym Leader instead.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
{{incomplete|section}}<br />
Bea is the fourth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}}. Bea is the known as the Galar karate prodigy, having inherit the century-old traditions and techniques from her parents.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fighting-gym-leader-bea/</ref> She is also an expert on {{type|Fighting}}. As a result of special attention and strict training from her parents, she trained very hard with her Pokémon at a very young age. As a result she developed a stoic personality even during dire situations with [[Pokémon battle]]s. She tries her best to go all out even with the possibility of defeat. Many believe she has lost the ability to smile along with lacking emotions, but she doesn't want to show any weakness. She occasionally show her true feelings to her partners Pokémon while battling and does smile but rarely. She also has a secret love of various sweets. However, she has a hard time enjoying them in secret due to the attention from her fans.<br />
<br />
===League Cards===<br />
This is a transcript of the back of Bea's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]].<br />
;Normal League Card<br />
:"Given special attention from her parents, Bea trained hard with her partner Pokémon since a very young age. This has honed her judgment skills, and she is able to remain calm and collected even when facing dire situations in {{pkmn|battle}}. This leads many to think she lacks emotion, but the truth seems to be that she doesn't want to show weakness. She is sometimes known to show her true feelings to her partner Pokémon during battles. She is secretly a huge fan of various sweets, and this has recently been found out by her fans. The additional attention has made enjoying sweets a little difficult."<br />
;Rare League Card<br />
:"In order to become strong, one must face opponents who are stronger than oneself. Even if defeat seems inevitable, Bea will still go all out and try to at least draw. It's possible that the strict (one might even say too strict) training from her stern parents has left a burden on young Bea, taking away her smile. So, who has seen Bea smile? Her family? Her Pokémon? Or maybe someone else entirely..."<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Bea keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />

<br />
*After receiving her rare league card<br />

<br />
* Upon activating [[Gigantamax]]<br />

:''"I really enjoyed battling you and your team..."''<br />
:''"I'm upset that I lost, but I also feel so satisfied and so refreshed."''<br />
:''"In a way, I guess you could say it was the best sort of match anyone could ever hope for."''<br />
:''"I hope that you'll meet many more trainers and have many more matches in the future."''<br />
:''"And I hope that every one of those encounters will nourish your spirit."''<br />
<br />
;Wyndon Stadium Finals<br />
:''"Focusing too much on winning can cause one to make mistakes. I will face you with a clear head!"''<br />
<br />
* Upon being defeated<br />
:''"Your Pokémon... they're so strong, they're practically dizzying!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"I want to achieve so many different things during battles. It's hard to decide sometimes... I still have much to learn."''<br />
<br />
;[[The Isle of Armor]] <br />
<br />
* First Encounter<br />
:''"Oh, [player]! Here for some secret training?"''<br />

:''"I'll have to stay just as motivated with Machamp and the rest of my team."''<br />
<br />
;[[Workout Sea]]<br />
:''"I find swimming can be very effective when I want to build strength."''<br />
:''"That means [[Nessa]] must be getting quite a lot of training in every day!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Forest of Focus]] <br />
* Clear weather<br />
Bea may say one of the following quotes:<br />
:''"It feels to me like training in harsher weather is more effective on mild days like this."''<br />
:''"On the other hand, at least my bare feet get less muddy when it's nice and clear."''<br />
<br />
:''"You never quite know when an {{p|Emolga}} might swoop down..."''<br />
:''"Its difficult to plan your encounter for such an unpredictable Pokémon."''<br />
<br />
* Cloudy weather<br />
:''"When my thoughts get as murky and gloomy as the sky is right now, sparring with Machamp clears the clouds straight from my mind."''<br />
<br />
* Rainy weather<br />
:''"No matter how hard the rain pummels you, you've got to keep swinging those fists!"''<br />
:''"You must believe that every punch drives you one step closer to victory!"''<br />
<br />
;[[Potbottom Desert]]<br />
<br />
Bea may say one of the following quotes:<br />
:''"Doesn't the layout of this area remind you of a pitch surrounded by spectators' seats?"''<br />
:''"It's helpful for realizing a real battle scenario."''<br />
<br />
:''"This sandstorm is nothing to me. It's about as scary as the attack {{m|Splash}}!"''<br />
:''"Now that I'm trying to pick a fight with Nessa..."''<br />

She reappeared in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where [[Hop]] watched her match with Leon on television.<br />
<br />
Bea reappeared in ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', giving her thoughts about the Champion [[Leon]] in an interview.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Bea keeps all of her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.<br />
