Pearl (Japanese: パール Pearl) is one of the male main characters for the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl story arc of Pokémon Adventures. He is impatient and is often accidentally getting himself and his friend, Diamond into trouble. He is the straight man (tsukkomi) of the comedy duo, with Diamond as the funny man. His appearance is based off that of Pearl from the video game series.
A mix-up has them thinking they will gain a prize for escorting Platinum to Mt. Coronet. Platinum, mistaking them for her bodyguards, has given them Pokédexes, Pokétches, and starter Pokémon from Professor Rowan. Pearl is eventually enlightened by Platinum's real bodyguards about her true identity, and is shocked when Diamond had figured it out already. Afterwards, Pearl convinced Diamond to set their dream of becoming great comedians aside for the time being to protect Platinum.
While Pearl does not have an active interest in battling, his father taught him a lot and so he has picked up a lot of useful techniques. He puts this into use by coaching Platinum for her Gym challenges. Pearl is fairly hyper and tends to overreact at times. His most useful skill is being able to tell what move a Pokémon will use next and counter accordingly. He eventually begins to seriously train his Pokémon after discovering Platinum's heritage.
Pearl is the unofficial leader of the party; he also composes battle strategies for Platinum's Gym challenges. Pearl and Diamond are practically as close as brothers, however, that doesn't mean Diamond doesn't get on Pearl's nerves, at which point Diamond receives a smack to the head. Pearl has a deep respect for Platinum, amazed at her level of skill in practically everything. But this is usually masked by Pearl's annoyance at her for being aloof.

- Chimhiko: Quite possibly the most used Pokémon by any of the three Sinnoh trainers. His speed and agility are often put to good use. Received from Platinum due to the mix-up.
- Chahiko: Pearl's first Pokémon. Resourceful Pokémon that Pearl occasionally uses for spying. A fairly strong battler.
- Luxray: Pearl befriended this Luxray as a Luxio, and helped it regain its "speech" after its claws had been broken. This Luxio later evolved and helped Diamond rescue Pearl and Platinum from a cave-in caused by Cyrus. It later appeared to Pearl at Fuego Ironworks, where he officially captured it.
- Buizel: Crasher Wake suggested that Pearl capture a Buizel, and after a few failed attempts, he finally captures one. However, it refuses to listen to him.
- Diglett and Tauros: Caught during Pearl's training with Wake.
Trivia
- Despite being the last of the Sinnoh Trainers to capture a third Pokémon, Pearl has managed to capture four in quick sucession and is the only trainer with a full team.
- Pearl uses a Buizel and has promised to protect Platinum; this is not unlike Platinum's real bodyguards, one of which also uses a Buizel.
