[[File:Ronald Pokémon Card GB The Comix.png|thumb|150px|Ronald in [[Pokémon Card GB The Comix]]]]
Ronald appears as the main character in [[Pokémon Card GB The Comix]], a one-shot manga based on the video game of the same name. In Pokémon Card GB The Comix, Ronald duels his rival {{GB||Mark}}, but ultimately loses.
 
====Pokémon====
Ronald uses the following Pokémon cards in his duel against Mark:

Magmar was placed on the Bench on Ronald's fourth turn, and became the Active Pokémon on his fifth turn after Dewgong was Knocked Out. Magmar had the advantage over Mark's Ivysaur (and then Venusaur after it Evolved) due to the type advantage of Fire over Grass. However, it was Knocked Out by Mark's Charizard after it was swapped out from Venusaur.}}

==Trivia==
* In {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, Ronald is the only duelist [[non-player character]] without a class (such as "[[Club Master]]" or "[[Club Member]]"). At the start of all duels against Ronald, there is a space behind Ronald's name, which would be the space normally located between the duelist class and the character name. This happens since the Japanese version, and was not fixed in any of the localized versions.

In the games

Once Ronald appears and talks to the player, the player does not have the chance to perform common tasks like editing the deck or saving the game before dueling Ronald.

In Pokémon Trading Card Game

As the player character's rival, he fights the player from time to time during the normal course of the gameplay. He plays four different decks as the player progresses through the game.

I'm Ronald Deck

After the player obtains the second Master Medal, Ronald will appear in the lobby of the club and battle the player with the I'm Ronald Deck. The player only has one chance to win this duel. Should the player be successful, the player will earn a promotional Jigglypuff card.

In Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!

Duelling against Ronald alias GRX

Ronald appears several times during the game. In the beginning of the game, when the player enters a club building for the first time, Ronald talks about Team Great Rocket, and uses the Card Pop! function with the player. He also appears after the player has earned two pieces of GR Coin, and if defeated, he gives the player a rare Super Energy Retrieval card.

Ronald is met again on the GR Island when entering Game Center for first time, as Ronald appears and gives away the Bill's PC card. Shortly after that, he may be seen again at the GR Grass Fort, now belonging to Team Great Rocket as member GRX. He then challenges the player to a 6-prize match, in which he uses a deck focusing on Grass Pokémon. When defeated, he reveals his identity and mission to recover the cards stolen by Team Great Rocket and gives one of both Team Rocket's Ambition and We Are Team Rocket booster packs.

When the player has defeated the Fort Leader at the GR Fire Fort or at the GR Water Fort, based on which event happens before, Ronald appears once again. If the player defeats him in a 6-prize duel, Ronald awards him with a Computer Error card.

Ronald is met again at the Team GR Castle. He has just been defeated by King Biruritchi, and he wants to test the player. If the player wins the match, Ronald gives another copy of the Super Energy Retrieval.

After the defeat of King Biruritchi, Ronald can be seen in Mason Laboratory. He's working on a new deck and won't duel the player. If the player take part in the Grand Master Cup, Ronald challenges the player with his Ronald's Ultra Deck.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Card GB The Comix manga

Ronald appears as the main character in Pokémon Card GB The Comix, a one-shot manga based on the video game of the same name. In Pokémon Card GB The Comix, Ronald duels his rival Mark, but ultimately loses.

Pokémon

Ronald uses the following Pokémon cards in his duel against Mark:

Ronald's Dewgong
Seel → Dewgong
Dewgong is a Water-type card used by Ronald in his deck. Ronald began the duel with Seel as his Active Pokémon. On his second turn, Ronald Evolved Seel into Dewgong. As Dewgong, it Knocked Out Mark's Scyther using a combination of its Aurora Beam attack and PlusPower. Eventually, Dewgong was Knocked Out by Mark's Ivysaur.
Debut Pokémon Card GB The Comix
Ronald's Magmar
Magmar
Magmar is a Fire-type card used by Ronald in his deck. Magmar was placed on the Bench on Ronald's fourth turn, and became the Active Pokémon on his fifth turn after Dewgong was Knocked Out. Magmar had the advantage over Mark's Ivysaur (and then Venusaur after it Evolved) due to the type advantage of Fire over Grass. However, it was Knocked Out by Mark's Charizard after it was swapped out from Venusaur.
Debut Pokémon Card GB The Comix
Ronald's Hitmonchan
Hitmonchan
Hitmonchan is a Fighting-type card used by Ronald in his deck. On his fourth turn, Ronald placed Hitmonchan on the Bench at the same time as Magmar, but it never became the Active Pokémon.
Debut Pokémon Card GB The Comix

Trivia

  • In Pokémon Trading Card Game, Ronald is the only duelist non-player character without a class (such as "Club Master" or "Club Member"). At the start of all duels against Ronald, there is a space behind Ronald's name, which would be the space normally located between the duelist class and the character name. This happens since the Japanese version, and was not fixed in any of the localized versions.
