In the anime

Spenser appeared in the episodes Cutting the Ties that Bind and Ka Boom with a View. His Japanese voice actor is 野沢那智 Nachi Nozawa and his English voice actor is Eric Schussler. He is a kind old man who specialises in herbal medicines. While he usually rides on his Venusaur, he has a lot of stamina which is shown in battle. Spenser uses the whole of the island he lives on as a battlefield and so battles have an emphasis on nature and include a lot of running around.

Spenser used a Venusaur, Shiftry and Claydol in his battle against Ash Ketchum. He also has a Chansey, which he used to heal Ash's Sceptile.

In the Pokémon Special manga

Spenser fought alongside Lucy during the press show-off of the Battle Frontier during its grand opening. He fought using a Crobat, which uses Poison Fang. He witnessed the battle between Noland and Emerald. He also explains to Lucy that holding back your feelings contradicts the essence of the spirit. Spenser has some connection with Kyogre, being able to recognize Sapphire once held the Blue Orb.
