Gordie's Barbaracle - Pokémon Masters EX
During his training for the PML, Gordie decided to expand his team and vary his strategy, partnering with Barbaracle.
Gordie - Pokémon Masters EX
The current Rock-type Gym Leader from Galar's Circhester Gym, Gordie, is a very popular and talented trainer. He works hard to achieve victory through a refined battle style and dreams to help change the perception that Rock-types are "boorish" and inelegant.
He is the son of Melony, who co-owns/runs the Gym on alternate weeks. She is a prestigious Ice-type Gym Leader who wanted him to follow in her footsteps. She trained him from a young age to become an Ice-type trainer.
However, he did not like how she was pushing her severe, ruthless style on him, eventually leaving home after a massive disagreement. Since then, he has been training to be better than her on his own terms.
Gordie's decision to favour Rock-types only continued to widen the rift in their relationship, becoming something they would often butt heads about. Despite the tension, they still love one another.
He is very grateful for his large fan base, who support him. He tries to honour them with new and exciting battles.
His showmanship and larger-than-life personality have earned him some detractors, who believe he does not take his fights seriously. However, he tries to focus on the positives. He does not plan to change his style, wishing to battle authentically.
As of 2023, he has had three photo books of himself published, with a fourth in the works.
Among his fans is Melony, who was the first official member of his fan club.
Invited to Pasio to compete in the Pokémon Masters League, he was recruited to join Bettie and Scottie's team.
He was excited to meet his fellow Rock-type Gym leaders from the other regions.
Gordie is a real foodie and is proud of being a stockier guy.
One of his personal highlights while on Pasio was a battle with Alola's Masked Royal. After the fight, the Royal complimented him on both his skill, acrobatics and flair for showmanship, telling him that he had the makings of a great wrestler.
Gordie is inspired by Brock's fighting style and aspires to learn from him.

Milo's Eldegoss - Pokémon Masters EX
Partners for a long time, Milo loves his Eldegoss and is very grateful for all his help; both in his Gym battles and down on the farm.
Since arriving on Pasio, he noticed that Eldegoss's cotton was looking "more beautiful than ever." He believed this was due to the changes in environment between Galar and the island.
