In the core series games

Character Profile

Crispin enjoys cooking as well as battling and often cooks for the other members of the Elite Four after they finish their club activities. His parents run a restaurant that he plans to take over once he finishes school. He appears to have a crush on Lacey and is ranked as the lowest Elite Four member in Blueberry Academy, situated at the Savanna Plaza.

Crispin is first met at the Blueberry Academy Cafeteria, where he votes in favor of the player getting to enter the BB League. His Elite Trial consists of the player having to create a super spicy sandwich from ingredients gathered from League Club members. After the trial has been cleared, Crispin can be battled. He rewards the player with TM207 (Temper Flare) upon being beaten.

When Kieran is dethroned by the player as the BB League Champion and seemingly demoted to being the highest-ranked Elite Four member, Crispin is alarmed when told that he could lose his own Elite Four position as a result of that shift, being its lowest-ranked member, though Kieran later withdrawing from the League altogether and Lacey temporarily freezing the current BB League ranks saves him from this fate.

After the player has caught Terapagos, Crispin can occasionally be found in the League Club Room, where he offers to rematch the player once a day.

Appearance

Crispin is a young man with red and orange spiky short hair. He wears the BB Summer Uniform with an apron and yellow sash over it, as well as red and orange sneakers.

Pokémon

Crispin keeps his Pokémon in Quick Balls. He will always send out Blaziken last and Terastallize it at the first opportunity.

Ultra rare print of Crispin

Main article: Crispin (Stellar Crown 133)

Crispin is introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Stellar Miracle expansion and the English Stellar Crown expansion, with artwork by GIDORA. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows the player to search their deck for up to 2 Basic Energy cards of different types, put 1 of the cards into their hand, and attach the other card to their Pokémon in any way they like.

Trivia

• Crispin notices if the player does not put bread on top of their sandwich during his Elite Four trial and says, "I'm a bit surprised you didn't put bread on top, though. Is that a Paldean thing...?"
  • This may be a reference to the fact that players commonly move the top bread out of the way to intentionally miss the sandwich, because placing it in the center adds no value to Meal Powers, but carries the risk of knocking other ingredients off.
• As the lowest ranking member, all of Crispin's Pokémon are one level lower than the rest of the BB League Elite Four's.
• If the player chooses Fuecoco as their first partner Pokémon, Crispin is the only NPC Trainer in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet who Terastallizes their Pokémon into the Fire type.
• Crispin is the only BB League Elite Four member whose strongest Pokémon is not a Steel type.
• Crispin is in the same class as Kieran, as mentioned by Carmine in their League Club conversation.
