'''Tower Tycoon Palmer''' (Japanese: '''タワータイクーンクロツグ''' ''Tower Tycoon Kurotsugu'') is the leader of the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and the Frontier Brain of the same facility in {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==In the games==
He is {{ga|Barry}}'s father. Palmer is very similar to his son in look and character, as he's always in a rush. Just like the {{player}} and Barry did, he once went to a lake with the player's father, got his [[starter Pokémon]] there, and was attacked by [[wild Pokémon]].

====={{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}=====
Before the battle: 
''"Hi! My name's Palmer. I remember you from when you were in [[Twinleaf Town|Twinleaf]], [[Player character|[name]]]. You were always playing with my son {{ga|Barry|[name]}}, right? You’ve grown up since then, and most impressively, too! So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you’ve built with your Pokémon. Show me the skill you've acquired as a Trainer!"

*After the battle: 
''"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."

''"Bravo! One day, I imagine my son will come challenge me just as you have. That’s something I look forward to a great deal. You will become even more skilled the very same way your father did. Keep battling Trainers from around the world and keep growing greater in stature!"

====Second battle====
Before the battle: 
''"So, you've come this so far! As the Tower Tycoon, I'll have to give you my best effort. That's how the best Trainers show respect to each other. By Battling all out as dedicated students of Pokémon!"

After the battle: 
''"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."

''"Bravo! I feel inspired in my heart! It brings back a memory of that day long ago... I went out to the lake with your father that day... We were attacked by a wild Pokémon. We fended it off, but I don't recall how. It was that desperate. That was my first step as a Trainer. I wonder if the professor is doing well? ...That's enough reminiscing. My young friend, the world and your future hold infinite promise. Go on, you can be all that you desire! There is no limit to where you can go!"

====={{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}=====
Before the battle: 
''"Hi! My name's Palmer. I heard a lot about you. You are [[Player character|[name]]] from [[New Bark Town]], right? You are much younger than I though. So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you’ve built with your Pokémon. Show me what you've learned through battles with Trainers!"

After the battle: 
''"I have no problem losing to a spectacular trainer like you!"

''"Bravo! I imagine many great Trainers will come to challenge me as you have just done. That's something I look forward to a great deal. You will become even more skilled. Keep battling Trainers from around the world and keep growing greater in stature!"

==In the anime==
[[File:Palmeranime.png|thumb|275px|left|Palmer in the anime]]
Palmer has a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', in a battle against [[Cynthia]]. He made his debut appearance in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' where he meets up with his son, {{an|Barry}}.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', a tournament was held in order to see which {{pkmn|Trainer}} was strong enough to battle him. Ash won the tournament and had his battle with Palmer. Even though Ash lost the battle, Palmer still gave him a trophy as recognition for winning the tournament.

Palmer later told Ash about the next gym being at [[Sunyshore City]] and hinted about the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore Gym]], [[Volkner]].

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Palmer's known Pokémon in the anime:

|trainer=Palmer
|pkmn=Rhyperior
|type1=Ground
|type2=Rock
|img=Rhyperior anime.png
|epnum=DP141
|epname=Challenging a Towering Figure!
|desc=After winning the Twinleaf Festival's annual tournament, Ash was given, as well as a trophy, the chance to battle Palmer in an exhibition match. The match was one-on-one and Palmer chose his powerhouse {{p|Rhyperior}} to battle. In response, Ash chose {{AP|Grotle}} as he realized that Palmer would be ready to counter his normal strategy of using speed attacks and decided to focus on power instead.

Rhyperior proved to be a very tough opponent, being able to withstand Grotle's attacks due to its [[ability]] and giving the Grove Pokémon a very tough time. However the tables seemed to turn when Rhyperior forced Grotle to swallow an {{m|Energy Ball}}, giving it a major power boost. Using this Grotle was able to cause significant damage to Rhyperior, but Grotle was simply unable to stand up to the massive attack power of Rhyperior and was defeated.

Rhyperior's known attacks are {{m|Rock Polish}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Rock Wrecker}} and its ability is {{a|Solid Rock}}.}}

|desc=Palmer's {{p|Dragonite}} has only made a brief appearance in the anime. In its scene it only appeared to help announce Palmer's arrival in [[Twinleaf Town]] when he arrived for the annual festival. Nothing is known about Dragonite's attacks.

Milotic's known attacks are {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Palmer is described as a very skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who passed some of his abilities on to his son, {{adv|Pearl}}. However, he left Twinleaf Town a few years before Pearl's journey began and even Pearl does not know Palmer's current location.

Palmer has recently appeared in the Platinum chapter where he, along with his son's friend {{adv|Platinum}}, head off to the [[Distortion World]].

==Trivia==
* Palmer is the only Trainer to be animated in Platinum in his appearance at the end of the battle (his hair and coattails blow in the "wind").
* Palmer's battle music in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} is the same as [[Cynthia]]'s battle theme. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it changes to match the other four [[Frontier Brains]].
** Interestingly, he was battling Cynthia herself in his first anime appearance, in the cameo at the beginning of the twelfth movie.
* Palmer's hair is vaguely similar to that of the final Sinnoh Gym Leader, [[Volkner]].
