(I know Sophocles doesn't have three Pokémon or a full party but I decided that he should at least have a sentence on his Pokémon section.)

Sophocles is an intelligent young boy with a knack for inventing helpful devices and machinery. He is also a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, often using them to power his inventions. While at times rude and prone to absorbing himself in his technological activities, he is friendly and greatly cares for his Pokémon and classmates. In ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', it was revealed that Sophocles likes to collect information on all sort of things, such as the best ice cream in Alola. In the same episode, it is also revealed that he has {{wp|Fear of the dark|scotophobia}}, but is never scared at night as long as he has his Togedemaru with him. Sophocles tends to get bashful when people complement him on his knowledge, responding with a shy "{{tt|Mā, ne...|'Yeah, well.'}}" in the original Japanese version of the {{pkmn|anime}} – a pun on his Japanese name, "Māmane".

Much like {{an|Clemont}}, Sophocles is not very athletic, and often fails to do tasks that require physical activity as shown in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', when he needed help to climb over a log, and in ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', during the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. He also has an interest in robotics. In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', it is revealed he converted the car he got for Charjabug in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'' into a miniature mecha that can dock with Togedemaru, named '''TogeCharja Perfect Form Robot Deluxe''' (Japanese: '''トゲデンヂロボットパーフェクトフォルムデラックス''' ''TogeDendi Robot Perfect Form Deluxe''). The mecha was seen again in ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]''.

Sophocles also has a defensive side, which was seen in ''Mounting an Electrifying Charge!'', when he stood up for himself and his Charjabug after being mocked by [[Horacio]]. Sophocles is a gracious loser, as shown in ''[[SM113|This Magik Moment!]]'', where despite being sad after losing in the preliminary round of Alola Pokémon Quiz on [[Alola TV]], he happily congratulated his former fellow contestant [[Noah]] on getting yet another correct answer in the final round when he saw him next.

Like {{an|Clemont}}, Sophocles mostly specializes in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. Sophocles also uses his Pokémon to power up his inventions. In addition, Sophocles doesn't have a full party. When battling, Sophocles analyzes his opponents and uses a certain move or strategy against them. His {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}} is his strongest Pokémon for battles.
