Kofu is a cook who is popular among his people for the innovative dishes he creates at his restaurant, often sourcing high-quality and/or rare ingredients for his dishes from Porto Marinada . However, he is occasionally careless and tends to forgets something when in a rush. He often uses the term "Vaultin' Veluza !" to express surprise or shock.
He is also a proficient Gym Leader and places confidence in his Water-type Pokémon to overwhelm his opponents.


Pokémon

Koga is a man with black spiky hair. He usually wears dark ninja outfits, along with a red scarf.

Koga shows himself as an intimidating foe, using Poison-type Pokémon, whose moves poison or lull the opponent to sleep, despite him trying to seem intimidating and telling his opponent that they rather had no chance on winning, upon defeat Koga shows himself disposed to embrace defeat and glorifyes his foe's victory by telling them that "You have proven your worth" , but also promising to looking forward to have another battle with them soon, where he promises to raise victorious.


Pokémon

Koga's personality is first depicted to be cruel and merciless, as shown during his battle against Blue and Red in Pokémon Tower, as he uses Articuno to nearly freeze the pair to death. However, after their conflict, Koga returns once more to face off against the Elite Four member Agatha, teaming up with his nemesis, Blue to defeat her, and displays more admirable characteristics such as bravery and concern for others.


Pokémon

Koga's appearance is based on his game counterpart who had blue green short spiked hair and black eyes. In the anime, his hair is shown to be dark blue and his brow is black but in flashbacks in the BW series it was reverted to his natural hair color.
His primary appearance is a blue long sleeve ninja suit with a black mesh shirt underneath and black boots.

The name Koga originates from Kōga-ryū, a school of ninjutsu that focused on, among other techniques, poisoning.
His Japanese name, Kyō, may originate from 凶 (kyō, misfortune), 戮 (kyō, kill), or 杏 (kyō, apricot, as apricot seeds are poisonous).

Pokémon

He also wears a pendent necklace which belongs to his late mother: Phossa Molybdenum.
Koko also bears a very strong resemblance to his late father: Chrom Molybdenum .

Due to his upbringing by Zarude, Koko often speaks in Pokémon speech such as Zarude and was unfamiliar with human vocabulary until later on he learned how to speak both Pokémon speech and Human vocabulary. His behavior mirrored that of a Zarude; often running on fours, growling when startled, using his heightened senses to locate objects, swinging from tree branches and vines.
Koko initially was uncertain with his identity as he noticed the difference between himself and other Zarude.


Pokémon

Koya has blond hair, a black vest and black pants on. His clothes resemble the player rival's from Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver . Koya is usually seen frowning.

Hareta first meets Koya in the stands of the Sinnoh Tournament. Hareta attempts to touch Koya's Absol, but gets smacked by its owner. Hareta then tries to battle Koya in the stands with his Empoleon, but is stopped by Mitsumi. Before he leaves, Koya says that Hareta is an inexperienced trainer. Jun then battles Koya in the first round, but his Staraptor, Torterra, and Dragonite are all one hit K-Oed by Koya's Absol. Later, when Hareta is battling Flint, he sees Koya and gets pumped up. After defeating Flint, Koya defeats a man and his Ambipom in the second round. Hareta defeats a girl's Heracross. Before the Semi-Finals, Mitsumi spots Koya talking to his...briefcase?! After the conversation, Koya leaves for his battle. Hareta and Koya must face each other in the Semi-Finals, and Hareta starts off with Luxio while Koya has Absol.

After beating Metagross, Hareta says that this battle is fun. Koya gets mad and sends out his Mamoswine, which destroys Regigigas with one Take Down. Koya then tells a story about his childhood. He had a Growlithe who never gave up. They always fought for fun, but one day, Koya challenged a Gyarados and badly lost. When Growlithe was taken to the doctor, it had lost its fighting spirit. Koya then abbandoned it and joined the Police. The battle resumes after that, and Hareta's Empoleon defeats Mamoswine before some Team Galactic Grunts attack the stadium. Turns out they're now lead by Charon, and they go by Neo Team Galactic. They place a bomb in the stadium, and working together with Hareta, Cynthia, Flint, Jun and others, Koya destroys the bomb.

Pokémon

Kurt is an old man with gray hair and eyes. He wears a short-sleeved blue two-piece suit, tightened with a white stripe tied into a knot. He also wears white shoes.

Kurt is a gruff, serious man who talks straight to the point. He is shown to be protective of Pokémon, sometimes to the point of doing reckless acts, hurting his back while trying to chase a grunt. To show his appreciation when one defeats Proton , stopping the sale of Slowpoke Tails, he makes custom Poké Balls once a day.


Pokémon

Lance is a tall, thin man with bright scarlet red spiked hair, pale skin, and dark eyes.

Lance is a very noble and respectful person. He is serious about his training and will not hold back his strength when it comes to battling any challengers. He is an expert at training Dragon-Pokémon, and is extremely skilled at battling. He believes that his inner-strength lies in his ability to professionally train Dragons, and he believes deeply in his Pokémon, that they are strong and superior. Despite this, he is a good sport, and will not become angry if he loses to the player character, but will instead gracefully accept defeat, and will happily congratulate them on defeating the Elite Four and becoming the new Champion.


Pokémon

Having witnessed many Pokémon, including his own, suffered at the hands of humans' greed, Lance lost faith in humanity and believed wholeheartedly that all humans should be eradicated minus those who have shown compassion towards Pokémon. To achieve his ideal world, Lance would resort to any means necessary, mercilessly getting rid of anybody who he views getting in his way. While claiming that he wishes to create a world where Pokémon can live freely, Lance's hatred made him subconsciously ignorant of his Pokémon's feelings and took them for granted without him realizing. Additionally, in spite of his compassion for Pokémon, it didn't stop Lance from hurting Pokémon who belongs to his enemies.
After he was defeated by Yellow, Lance regretted what he did and completely let go of his previous goal. Instead, he now does his best to protect the world for both the humans and Pokémon's sake, even convincing his old enemies to work together with him. His battle against Yellow also seemed to have made him sharper in sensing the bond between trainers and their Pokémon, as shown when he advised Silver and Gold. His battle with Yellow also left him with an admiration for her, a person who shared the same birthplace and powers as him.


Pokémon

Lance is an honorable man, who fights against criminal organizations and will not let innocent people get involved, fearing they would be in danger. Lance also wears disguises and tries his best to fit into the group to learn more about the plans.


Pokémon

He wears a medieval-looking navy blue tunic with red-orange trim, a brown belt around his waist, and large black boots with orange two rings around the top of each boot. The cuffs of his long sleeves are black with orange zigzagging trim separating the cuff from the navy blue part of the sleeve. He sports a long, flowing cape around his neck which is black on the outside and crimson red on the inside.


Pokémon

Larry is a tall man in business attire, wearing a black suit with a gray dress shirt underneath and a blue cloud-print tie. There are 2 dark notches on each side of the suit lapels. He has very thick eyebrows and square eyes. In his role as an Elite Four member, he also wears black gloves with what appears to be a gray compass-like pattern engraved on them. He also carries a suitcase with him.
His preference for Normal -types is reflected in his very generic and square appearance, indicating that he is very formal in what he does, just as Normal types have nothing remarkable about them. Incidentally, his bird-like hairstyle and cloud-print tie and unusually piercing gaze also reflect/hint at his Flying-type coverage and how he does use them as a secondary preferred type. That and his suitcase implies that he travels a lot, something associated with flying airplanes usually. His hair and expression vaguely resembles a combination of Pidgeot's hair and Staraptor's face, further foreshadowing his flying -type affinity.

Larry constantly works overtime as a salaryman and is often left completely drained of energy as a result. He sees himself as a normal person, thus he prefers Normal -types as like him, they have nothing special, though he does not disobey his boss' orders. Thus, Larry has fairly poor self-esteem, expressing surprise and confusion should the player pick him as their favorite Gym Leader.
Although mostly having a morose outlook on life, Larry does have a huge appetite, always frequenting the Treasure Eatery of Medali inside his Gym.


Pokémon

Larry is a rather haggard and indifferent individual, due to always overworking himself. However, he is also no-nonsense, emphasizing the importance of fairness in battles.


Pokémon

Lear has purplish gray hair that spike up on the ends. He also wears red glasses that cover his eyes.

Lear is a very arrogant and disdainful trainer, mainly because he's the founder of Pasio. He also says that Pokémon are tools and not friends. Despite making the PML where you work with other Sync Pairs, he claims that others only hold him back. It is later revealed that Sawyer made the rules.


Pokémon

Leo is a short kid, with short black hair that he wears under a backwards green hat. He wears a green t-shirt, and an orange Pokémon suit similar to that of a PokéManiac .

Leo is an easily flustered kid who believes in his friends and Pokémon, caring for them deeply. He believes that there are no bad Pokémon, only bad trainers who can make Pokémon do bad things. He gets flustered when seeing anyone cute, to the point of being practically unable to talk. He enjoys being around his friends.


Pokémon

Leon is a tall man, with long, purple hair and amber eyes. He wears a baseball cap tilted upwards to show off the crown design on the brim, a red fur-lined cape that has logos of sponsors on the back, and a black striped shirt that has a sword and shield on it. He also wears white shorts with white tights underneath with a black and gold diamond pattern down the side.

Leon is a well-known Trainer among Galar as the Champion. This lets him be featured in Pokémon magazines, where his pictures appear, posing as his ace Pokémon, Charizard. Like his Champion status, he is a very honorable, heroic Trainer, who would do much to prevent ordinary citizens from harm. However, he has a poor sense of direction. He is Sonia's friend, and accompanied her during their Gym Challenge. After her loss, Leon became sad as he worried about her, but carried on and became a Champion. Listening to Chairman Rose's speeches, he realized that having the region grow stronger meant having help people in need, rather than having strong Pokémon Trainers.


Pokémon

Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the World Coronation Series and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Although Leon comes across as unstoppable, he revealed to Ash that since Darkest Day he felt powerless to deal with the threat. This made him question if there are people stronger than him and how far the strength limit of each one goes. Sonia is apparently the only person who can see this side of Leon, unlike most people, to her, Leon is more child-like in his relationship with Pokémon.
Leon is also a good sportsman, when he complimented Lance after their battle and shook his hand and again in all his battles in the World Coronation Series, acting the same way after his battles with Raihan and Flint. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow Chairman Rose's orders to capture Eternatus for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the Darkest Day from occurring.
Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the Gigantamaxing phenomenon, as seen in The Climb to Be the Very Best! , when he advised Ash on how to battle with his Gigantamax Pikachu in order to deal with a Drednaw that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against Opal, he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of G-Max Finale. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how Mega Evolution works, being able to recognize the great bond Lucario has with Ash.
As stated by some people, Leon and Ash have a lot in common, mainly in the way they take care of Pokémon. During the course of the anime it is shown that Leon takes a keen interest in Ash's battles and more than once, Leon declared to Ash his desire to face him in an official battle. This even made Rose offer the same offer he made to Leon to be trained by him, but Ash refused even before knowing Rose's real intentions.
In his battles, Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as seen in Toughing It Out! , where Charizard used three different moves than what it had used previously and always battles on equal terms with the opponent, always Gigantamaxing his Pokémon only after the opponent has the initiative to use it first.
Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the Glimwood Tangle and needing wild Pokémon to show him the way to Ballonlea and later getting lost while traveling with Ash through the Wild Area.


Pokémon

Leon is a very confident person, even to the point where he can sometimes come off as self-centered. During his champion battle against the player, he is still very focused on himself and his winning streak, not even considering the possibility that he may lose. He also only has pictures of himself in his house, and, strangely enough, none of his brother Hop. However, he is still a kind and compassionate human being, as shown when he shields Hop and the protagonist with his Charizard from a blast from Eternatus .
He is also poor with directions, getting lost quite easily.


Pokémon

Leon's name may be derived from the plant dandelion, hence his Japanese name, "Dande". It may also come from "lion", which is a symbol of English royalty that ties into Leon's regal attire and status as the Champion.


Pokémon

Lian is a young boy with light brown curly hair, which cover the top of his eyes. He is shown wearing the Pearl Clan outfit bearing the symbol and covered in dirt, and wears a hat much like Clay's, suggesting that they may be related in some way. He also wears a small brown bracelet depicting an image of Kleavor .

He is described by Mai as a brilliant boy, although he was unsure of what to do when finding a solution to approach Kleavor without getting hurt (even Mai doubts his brilliance before the player meets him). He opened to the player after accepting the balms of Kleavor's favorite foods.
He finds many things fascinating such as the process of capturing and comfortably placing Pokémon inside Poké Balls, and how Kleavor had calmed down after the player threw enough food balms to quench its berserk rage.


Pokémon

Looker wears black penny loafers, brown suit pants, white shirt with pink tie, lighter brown vest and an investigator coat. He has brown eyes, dark hair, wrinkle marks around his mouth, black eyebrows and an inquisitive look.

Looker is very creative and figures out things at any risk being held. He is also a caring man with a good heart, caring for those who cannot take care of themselves , and values the friends he makes. But most the time, he is a little strict, holding cases for one thing, and prefers pondering a lot rather than expressing himself through words. He is quite dedicated to his job, and becomes serious when it comes to crime fighting.


Pokémon

Though known as an Interpol officer, Looker is an underperforming man, who gets into all sorts of funny situations. Still, he is still determined to serve the Interpol organization, no matter which task they order him.


Pokémon

Looker was on a train near Team Rocket in disguise, in which the heroes were after Ash's loss to Paul. Ash yelled out of excitement, startling Looker, who dropped a sandwich. The heroes apologized, and introduced themselves to Looker, who went on to pass more sandwiches to the train's staff. In that moment, the train stopped, confusing people as they could continue traveling, and there was no command from higher-ups that prevented them from going on. Looker believed to be trouble ahead, and had the driver accompany him. Looker followed the tracks, seeing someone had changed the controls so they would take the other route. Following the tracks to the other route, Looker encountered an abandoned building, near Lake Acuity. Using his gear, Looker saw someone was here. He returned to the train, happy to see the heroes, and asked of them to enjoy their youth. He went out of the train, making a call to report that Team Galactic used tracks to transport something to Lake Acuity. [1]
Looker went to the Pokémon Center near Mt. Coronet, where he saw the heroes once more, who were to take a Western Coast Shellos. He went undercover, tracking Team Galactic's movements to find a secret entrance. He noted that Team Galactic had dug out ruins beneath Mt. Coronet, and took a glance to see the heroes confronting Team Galactic. He took on a disguise as a Team Galactic grunt to infiltrate, and at a close range, took off his disguise and saved the heroes. He then proceeded to combat, attacking the grunts while the rest caused chaos around the ruins. Saturn had Toxicroak bash the wall, causing water to leek out, so Looker took out an inflatable boat to save himself and the heroes. With everyone out, the heroes thanked Looker for rescuing them, but were also surprised to see he was a member of the International Police. Looker helped them out by showing a location, where they could release Shellos. [2]
Looker took on the disguise as a Team Galactic member, but was discovered by Jupiter, who had her Golbat attack him. Team Rocket saw him, and believed they could gain a favor from the International Police if they save him. They went on to attack, but were quickly stopped by Jupiter, who blasted Meowth away. Jessie and James were locked away with Looker, who warned them about traps. He was displeased he had these people involved, even if Team Rocket claimed they were just battling the enemy organization. Either way, Looker warned them that the Team Galactic leader has not shown up yet. The heroes eventually went to the location the group was trapped in - Fuego Ironworks - and rescued Looker, Jessie and James. Before leaving, Looker heard a noise underneath: he pushed a lever, finding a room with a gem. Trying to learn more about it, Looker activated the gem, causing all the data he had collected on Team Galactic to be erased. Looker noted this was a trap, and was determined to battle Team Galactic. [3]
Looker went to Mt. Coronet once more, to find more about Team Galactic. He was spotted by Team Rocket, and much to his surprise, they offered an alliance. In order to enter the hideout, Team Rocket disguised themselves, which gave Looker an idea. [4] They attempted to enter, but were stopped by Jupiter once more, and locked away. After the crisis was over, Looker was rescued, but he did not see Team Rocket, who fled away already. [5]

Pokémon

Lt. Surge is a man with a muscular physique. He has short, spiky blonde hair.

His military training received in the Army can be used as an example to show his violent and militaristic nature.

Lt. Surge is an arrogant, rude, and vulgar gym leader who belittles others as "babies" if they do not meet his qualities, similar to his own Raichu. In battle, Lt. Surge unleashes offensive, brutal attacks on his opponent. However, after Ash defeated him, Lt. Surge recognized the challenger's strength. He is very short-sighted as he evolved his Pikachu into a Raichu too fast without taking into account that Raichu cannot learn any fast moves such as Quick Attack and Agility, as it's only capable of learning it in its Pikachu stage.

Pokémon

Paul has mid-length purple hair that has one big strand hanging over the middle of his face, small dark eyes and he almost never smiles, except for the occasional smirk and a small chuckle whenever he deals with Ash Ketchum .
He wears a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves, a blue undershirt, dark purple pants and purple and navy sneakers with white soles.

Paul is perceived as a grumpy, cold, callous, cantankerous, abusive, grim, heartless, merciless, rude, mean, and rather arrogant Trainer, who has no interest in being friends with anybody (especially not his Pokémon ) and simply sees his Pokémon as tools to win battles and often not caring if they are hurt. These actions of his was because due to Pyramid King Brandon who defeated Paul's older brother, Reggie .
He is often annoyed and exasperated by Ash Ketchum 's actions, advice to treat his Pokémon nicely and tendency to act like a child to the point that Paul seems to barely see their rivalry. He dislikes Ash's philosophies such as friendship and trust because he believes that they are a sign of weakness, and he also dislikes training Pokémon hard to get stronger, preferring to only train ones that are naturally strong. Paul rarely shows any emotions, especially not positive ones, and this affects his dealings with his Pokémon, which can be very harsh. However, some occasions, he has been shown to lose his temper. One example was when he let his anger get out of control during his battle with Brandon when he wasn't able to beat Brandon's Pokémon.
Although Paul maintained a bitter rivalry with Ash for the duration of the Sinnoh series, his hatred of Ash as a person (rather than as a Trainer ) peaked at the end of the first season of the Diamond and Pearl series, where the two were forced to team up in the Hearthome City Tag Battle tournament. He treated Ash as a detriment rather than an ally, constantly telling him to stay out of his way and even having his Chimchar attack Ash's Turtwig at one point out of spite. When Paul released Chimchar and Ash subsequently caught it, he rudely told them that they deserved no better than each other: both were pathetic scum. After they won the tournament, Paul had no desire to keep the Soothe Bell prize due to his refusal to treat his Pokémon with basic decency. He gave it to Ash, but he violently threw it at Ash in a fit of anger rather than simply handing the bell over.
Despite his intense hatred of Ash, he does not necessarily wish harm on him, and helped him against Team Rocket multiple times even while he and Ash were enemies.
Paul knowingly abused his Pokémon both physically and emotionally, the prime example being Chimchar. He at one point had all of his Pokémon attack it at once in hopes of activating Blaze. He would constantly tell it that it was "worthless" and "pathetic", which left a strong negative impression on Chimchar.
While Gary Oak (Ash's previous major rival) and Trip (his next one) would directly insult Ash and call him immature names like "loser" or (in Trip's case) say he was "from the boonies", Paul would simply rudely say how poor of a Trainer Ash was. Instead of being a bully, he is only rude to Ash due to viewing him as an inferior Trainer, rather than as an inferior person like Gary and Trip. Despite this, his rivalry with Ash was overall much more bitter than Gary's and Trip's--whereas Gary and Trip simply didn't like Ash and enjoyed dissing him, Paul absolutely loathed Ash and, unlike with Trip, the feeling was mutual on Ash's part as Paul reminded Ash of Damian, the original trainer of his Charizard, a view that peaked after Paul ditched Chimchar.
Despite his seemingly cruel nature, Paul understands that he cannot treat everyone as horribly as he treats Ash, and can be polite whenever he wants to—especially towards authority figures like Cynthia , Nurse Joy , and Professor Rowan . He also can acknowledge his opponent if he considers them to be a worthy opponent as an example of this is Roark , who he was very impressed by and he also seems to think a lot of Reggie (Paul's older brother), despite once saying he had 'a big mouth'. After his defeat by Brandon, he obliged to the latter when he told him they'll have a rematch one day once he controlled his emotions.
Paul's dislike of Ash stems-at least partially-from his disappointment in Reggie. Ash is known for treating his Pokémon as friends and equals, rather than as tools, much like Reggie does. Paul blames Reggie's philosophy as the reason he lost to Brandon, and thus he sees the same parallels in Ash. While he does not hold a grudge against Reggie for this because he is family, he does hold one against Ash. He also seems to enjoy seeing Ash getting angry, one example of which is when he chuckled and said to Ash "Man, you get worked up". Paul's "catchphrase" of sorts is 'Pathetic' who tends to direct it at Ash when Ash does or says something that Paul finds irritating or childish, and does not apologize for his actions, either.
Towards the end of the saga and especially after losing the battle to Ash in the Sinnoh League, Paul seems to reform somewhat and he is shown thanking his Electivire for a good battle- something that he had never done prior to the three-part final battle. Paul was also impressed by how Chimchar (Paul's former Pokémon) had become an Infernape and developed nicely after being in Ash's care and how well Ash had trained it and admitted as such after their final Sinnoh battle. Paul then decided to return to Snowpoint City to challenge Brandon again and he bids farewell to Ash, although on more friendly terms and he also seems sad when he sees Ash lose to Tobias . Later, Paul decided to help Ash against the competitors in the Master Class when training his Pokémon by using Pokémon reflecting of his opponents (such as Gyarados of Lance, Garchomp of Cynthia and last Metagross of Steven Stone). As it turned out later, this help was also his attempt to learn more about the connection between Pokemon and trainers, since he was offered to become a Gym Leader . The interest in this activity also speaks of the redemption of his character.

Following the plant-based naming of most Gym Leaders, it may also include 柳 (yanagi, Japanese name for the willow tree).


Pokémon

Pryce is an bald old man with short white hair with three upper spiked fringe on front and two spikes in each sides, brown eyes and pale skinned. He usually has a displeased look on his face. Pryce supports himself with a gray cane, which has a brown top.
As Masked Man, Pryce wears a black cloak, a mask of ice with two black eyes and a black mouth, and long white locks of hair.

When he was young, Pryce was adventurous like his friends and had fun with them. However, after the death of his Lapras, Pryce became cold and very distant from his friends.
To others, Pryce will often act humble and kind to others. He often apologizes and thinks himself inferior and cowardly. But this was merely a guise to prevent people from suspecting him as being the cold and ruthless Mask of Ice. Evidence shows as the Pokémon Chairman refuses to believe Pryce to be the Masked Man.
The Masked Man was ruthless and unsympathetic. He believes that Pokémon are nothing but mere tools to help him accomplish his goals. This was shown when he tells Gold that Pokémon are weapons of war or when he used the Gyarados in the Lake of Rage as an army. The Masked Man is also manipulative, commenting that children are much easier to influence as followers.
However, during the final battle and a flashback of Silver, the Masked Man was given a more sympathetic and human side. This is shown when he showed great rage when Crystal showed surprised when Pryce committed so many misdeeds just to save his two Lapras. He said that he lied about saying Pokémon being weapons, but instead that Pokémon should be loved and nurtured for. In Silver's flashback, after Green and Silver escape, Pryce had just finished an ice sculpture of him and the children he kidnapped as a family. This shows that the Masked Man captured children partly for pure intentions.

After finding his Piloswine, Pryce abandoned that philosophy, as his cold personality changed into a warm one that welcomes friendships with Pokémon. Pryce's battle strategy involves freezing his opponent's Pokémon.
