Pokémon World Coronation Series Participants
Masters Eight
As A Whole
As A Whole
- The Ace: With the exception of Alain (who even then was still a competition winner for Kalos) the series final eight are all the Champions of at least one region.
- The Bus Came Back: All of them, aside from Leon, are characters Ash met in previous series.
- Hero of Another Story: Like Ash, they fought long and hard to achieve their ranks, but we don't get to see any of it onscreen. All we know is that one of them had to beat Flint, since he was in the top eight in episode 100, but by 109 he's lost his position.
- Signature Mon: A piece of artwork depicting the final chosen eight, each with one Pokémon representing them:
- Lance: Shiny Gyarados (as opposed to the games' Dragonite)
- Steven: Shiny Metagross
- Cynthia: Garchomp
- Iris: Haxorus
- Diantha: Gardevoir
- Alain & Leon: Charizard
- Ash: Pikachu
- Technician Versus Performer: Leon, Cynthia, Steven, and Diantha are very strategic and methodical when they battle right from the start, very much being technicians. Lance, Ash, Iris, and Alain are more improvisational and prefer to figure out what they'll do after seeing their opponents in action, making them more performers. Coincidentally, the first round of the Masters' Tournament were all Performers vs Technicians.
- World's Best Warrior: They are recognised as the eight strongest trainers in the world note In the No.1 position, the very strongest is crowned Monarch. The tournament to challenge the World Champion is for those eight only. Anyone seeking an official battle for the title must advance into the Master Class before the end of the season, or find themselves Locked Out of the Fight.

Visquez
Visquez
Voiced in Japanese by: Risa Hayamizu
Voiced in English by: Rebekah Thomas
The substitute Vermilion City Gym Leader.
- Brawn Hilda: Her superior is the Lightning American, so with her build that's as good as her Pokemon battling she could be a downplayed version of this.
- Confusion Fu: Her Electrode has specifically been trained with this fighting style in mind, allowing it to easily counter her opponent's own Confusion Fu.
- Expy: She is named and modelled after Private Jenette Vasquez from Aliens.
- Human Hammer-Throw: The result of her Raichu grabbing Pikachu with its tail; though not referred to by any name, this could possibly be its execution of Seismic Toss- a potential type-coverage move that Raichu can learn in the games in which it's taught by a tutor or TM. Also unsuccessfully attempted on Gengar.
- Oh, Crap!: Her Raichu gets this expression when Ash's Gengar dodges its Thunderbolt, and remains that way for much of the battle as it becomes increasingly clear just how thoroughly outclassed it is.
- She herself gets this expression when she learns that being defeated by Ash her rank is now lower and she will have to tell Lt. Surge when he comes back.
- Shock and Awe: As the substitute gym leader she specializes in Electric types and is seen using Raichu and Electrode.
- Taking You with Me: Should her Electrode take enough damage, its ability Aftermath is triggered, resulting in an explosion meant to catch the opponent and knock them out with it.

- Animal Motif: Bugs. She even dresses up as a Kricketune.
- Berserk Button: She gets infuriated if people insult her cooking.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Despite her energetic character, Kylie holds a respectable ranking in Super Class of the World Coronation, so her status as a trainer is not to be taken lightly.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Her pokemon are all Bug-types.
- Cute Little Fangs: Has a slight prominent fang on the right side of her mouth.
- Genki Girl: Possibly the most energetic of Ash's Challengers barring Korrina, who moves around a lot with the aid of skates. This girl however, is bouncing around the place on her own power alone.

- Supreme Chef: With the help of her Heracross, is able to cook up a stew (that she calls Kricketina Treats) as bait to lure Pinsir. It is so good that it gets stolen by Team Rocket.

A trainer who meets with Ash and Goh after Ash's battle with Dozer, wanting to battle and evaluate his Farfetch'd. He later returns to battle Ash in a World Coronation Series battle.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: His Gallade is part Fighting-type and knows Close Combat.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Gives one to Farfetch'd in their first meeting. His Gallade is able to take it down in 2 hits while Farfetch'd is unable to even land one.
- Expy: To Tad from the Orange Islands. He battled Ash while he was dealing with an unruly Pokemon, sort of helping him reigning said Pokemon in, and then saying they'll have a rematch when Ash gets a better handle on the Pokemon. Unlike Tad however, he returns for a second episode.
- He can also be seen as a expy of Wally from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, albeit a slightly more jerkish expy, since both characters have similar hairstyles and hair colours and both use a Gallade as their ace.
- Flat Character: Appears to be tame compared to most of Ash's rival's. See Satellite Character below.
- Oh, Crap!: After Farfetch'd gets fully motivated by Ash and starts a come back, Rinto not only is visibly surprised, as his Gallade flinches and even shivers after being hit consecutively three times!
- Psychic Powers: Gallade is part Psychic-type and knows Psycho Cut.
- Satellite Character: Serves no purpose other than to develop Ash's Farfetch'd. While most World Coronation Series contests have some understanding motive to be competing, Rinto only appears to be competing just for a rematch against Ash and being an opponent to get him out of the Great Class faster.
- Small Role, Big Impact: His first appearance and battle with Ash and Farfetch'd, short and swift it was, is what encourages Ash to try to get more in sync with it so they can battle better next time.
- Stealth Mentor: Apparently, tries to point what's wrong about Ash & Farfetch'd's team work, but, he spent a good part of the battle being dismissive and not actually telling the problem.
- We Will Meet Again: He promises Ash they will meet again for a proper battle once he and Farfetch'd improve their teamwork. He does nine episodes later.

- Adaptational Late Appearance: She debuted during the Generation VI remakes of the Generation III games (Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) but never appeared in the anime until two generations later in Journeys.
- Dragon Tamer: Just like her in-game counterpart, she owns an Altaria, who's part Dragon-type and knows Draco Meteor.
- Friendly Rivalry: She is this to Serena. When they both tie for the Lilycove Contest, Lisia hugs her and congratulates her.
- Mythology Gag: Many of her quotes when inviting Chloe to Contest Spectacular were directly taken from her debut game.
