* FatalFlaw: His absolute lack of teamwork. Although he already has a bad attitude, it is shown that when he and his Pokémon need to work with others they fail spectacularly, despite being strong individually. He views teamwork as something for weaklings to rely on because they can't accomplish anything themselves.
** He ends up losing Camp Everfree's double battle competition because he refused to cooperate with Trixie on anything, causing her Wizentice to get knocked out and his Chimplug to get double-teamed.
** In the Balance Battle Tournament, when three of his Pokémon need to battle together against three others, it is shown that his Pokémon have [[WeAreStrugglingTogether absolutely no teamwork together]], because he has not formed bonds with them they are all just strangers who happen to have the same trainer. This is opposed to Flash, who loves and respects all of his Pokémon like friends, and they have learned to work together and rely on each other. This results in [[spoiler:Lightning ''finally'' losing to Flash for the first time]].

He also attempts to steal Twilight from Flash, trying to get her to join him on his own journey after camp, not caring how much this would set Flash back or if he would end up traveling alone because of it. After Twilight rejects his offer, Timber becomes a lot more antagonistic to her and Flash, even openly insulting Flash at one point during their double battle. This is also hinted at when Shine first hatches. Her official Pokedex entry states she can see into the hearts of others and hides away if she sense evil in them. While Shine instantly accepts Twilight and Flash, she is terrified of Timber.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He acts like he is an expert on Pokémon, but he really is just repeating the info he learned off their Pokedex entries. He views both Shuckle and Clauncher as being weak and lazy, but is shocked when they show how competent in battle they are, with Clauncher even [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] a rampaging Gyarados.
* NotGoodWithRejection: On the last day of camp, Timber noticeable becomes a lot more hostile to Twilight and Flash after Twilight turns down his offer of traveling with him after camp.
* PyrrhicVictory: "Camp Town Races" has him just narrowly beating Flash in the race competition, but only because Flash stopped to save him from a fall. Also, Twilight ultimately decides to reject his offer of traveling with him and stay with Flash.

!!!Egg->Galarian Ponyta
Originally an egg that was given to Camp Everfree's as part of one of their activities, Shine was given to Sapphire Cabin to watch over until she hatched the next day.

!Peewee
!!!Terragon
The group met Peewee while traveling through a cave, where he was abandoned by the rest of his flock for being too small. He and Spike immediately became friends, but due to Spike being too young to be a trainer he was unable to catch Peewee himself. Twilight caught Peewee for him and is currently holding on to him for Spike until Spike becomes old enough for Peewee to be his starter Pokémon, but until then Peewee officially belongs to Twilight and can be used by her in any battle she chooses.
