Character
He has a strong hatred for what he considers to be "weak" Trainers, such as 🇬🇼, as well as Team Rocket, who calls him a traitor. Also, he wants strong Pokémon on his team and releases the ones he deems as weak.

Despite his low opinion of Gold, there are times where they are forced to work together, one of the cases happened in Gold and Black VS Team Rocket where radio waves coming from Team Rocket's hideout are causing the Pokémon to get weak.
