Like the other Rocket duos, his and his partner's names together form the name of a famous historical villain, in this case, [[wp:Attila the Hun|Attila the Hun]].
==History==
Attila briefly mentioned that he enjoyed ranching on his uncle's property.


==Basic information==
He was a [[Pokémon poacher]] prior to joining [[Team Rocket]] and becoming [[Hun]]'s new partner. In the original Japanese version of ''The Legend of Thunder!'', Hun stated that he and Attila are from the "Profit Expansion Division."

Attila and Hun both seem somewhat set in their rank, and approach missions casually. They seem to be keep their cool even when they lose. Even in these situations, they beat a calm retreat. Despite physical stereotypes, Hun is the dominant partner, telling Attila to do things that he could do himself. Attila doesn't object, or show any signs of aggravation over this role. One particular event where Attila loses his temper is when he finds that [[Marina (Legend of Thunder)|Marina]] has called for help. He yells through her [[PokéGear]], causing [[Vincent]] and [[Jimmy (Legend of Thunder)|Jimmy]] on the other end to nearly fall over, and then smashes it.

Raikou was quick to destroy Attila's mecha, but the Miracle Crystal unexpectedly reverted to its "auto-destruct" mode and sunk its electric hooks into Raikou. Attila called on his Muk and Skarmory to defeat Jimmy and the others, but they were kept at bay by a powerful Psybeam combo from Little Miss and Eugene's Alakazam.

They then run away, leaving becoming legends for another day.

Trivia

  • The origin of his Japanese name is Yosa Buson, considered one of the greatest haiku poets in history.

    • Additionally, Buson idolized Basho, and carefully followed in his footsteps in an attempt to perfect his own haiku. Seeing as Attila so unhesitatingly follows Hun's orders, this may be the reason for the selection of Buson's name over other influential poets of the time.
  • Like the other Rocket duos, his and his partner's names together form the name of a well-known historical person: in this case, Attila the Hun.
  • According to concept art, Attila's design is meant to evoke a raccoon-dog while Hun's design is meant to evoke a fox.
