In the anime

History

Roy debuted in HZ003. In the morning after a storm, he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the Rising Volt Tacklers's airship.

In HZ004, it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that the mysterious Poké Ball was given to him by his grandfather. After attending a virtual class, Roy came across a Fuecoco and befriended it. After hearing Liko scream, he found and saved her from a group of wild Pokémon that were chasing her.

During the next episode, Roy snuck on the Brave Asagi wanting to meet Fuecoco again, but he got shocked by Captain Pikachu, waking up everyone on the aircraft. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings of wanting him as its Trainer. Roy sang trying to find Fuecoco on the aircraft with Liko and, after not being able to find it, that night Roy left it some Oran berries. Later, Roy stumbled upon Fuecoco, who told him that there was a trouble, so the boy called the other Pokémon to help him, with the wild Pokémon helping fixing up the holes in the aircraft. Roy partnered with Fuecoco, who was having difficulty using its move Ember, encouraging it by chanting with it.

Character

Roy is an upbeat, energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen, and battle Legendary Pokémon just like the fabled Ancient Trainer he has heard about from his grandfather. Although he is inexperienced about the fundamental Pokémon practices such as catching, Roy is nonetheless adept at other related activities such as building Secret Bases. He is shown to be an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles into cutting Berries from trees.

Trivia

  • Roy was originally designed by Ken Sugimori before being adapted for the anime by the series' character designers.[3][4]
  • Roy has a stylized Unown R on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
  • Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the anime, presumably due to a naming conflict with Raihan, one of the Gym Leaders in Pokémon Sword and Shield, who is named "Roy" in those languages.
