Bugsy/Anime/Character

Bugsy's against Ash showcased his passion and skills as a Gym Leader. He had developed a range of strategies to combat his Pokémon's type weakness to attacks, such as his 's. Bugsy utilizes the forest battlefield, mimicking a Bug Pokémon's natural habitat, to his full advantage, having his swing from the trees to evade attacks, while his  uses the dust and leaves to camouflage itself to give it the upper hand.

Bugsy is particularly competitive, noting that few challengers had recently made it to the final round against his Scyther before Ash's match. He was excited to see Ash overcome his crafted strategies and went on to offer Ash a rematch if he returned to Azalea Town.
