* EstablishingCharacterMoment: First seen silently observing Chloe before coming to her rescue against Team Rocket, representing him ready to come to other people's rescue. His second moment is how he heavily denies that he's a huge ''[=LoliRock=]'' fan, as it depicts him to be dorky and into girly hobbies.
* FlowerMotifs: Astrantia flowers are about inner strength and resilience, which reflects his standing as a Rank 3 Cyber Warrior who can weather the storm despite not being on a Data Train.



* DarkIsNotEvil: His main attire is mostly black, but he's a heroic character and later becomes the third member of Team Neo.

* AliceAllusion: Admitted by the author to be one of the Cheshire Cat given her large grin and the pink-purple coloration akin to the Disney animated version.
* KindHeartedCatLover: She hopes to have a purple-pink cat Pokémon as a partner.
* LittleBitBeastly: Described as having purple and pink cat ears.

* BerserkButton: Played for laughs. He ''hates'' spoilers and is not happy when Chloe was about to give away two major twists to two ''Kamen Rider'' series he hasn't watched yet (specifically she was about to spoil [[spoiler:the deaths of both Kamen Rider Dragon Knight/Kit Taylor and Kamen Rider Fourze/Gentaro Kisaragi that coincidentally happened at Episode 31 in their shows, although they do come back to life later]]). In Chapter 12, he does ''not'' want to have any spoilers from ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'', particularly in regards to Kamen Rider Sting and if he dies to General Xaviax.[[labelnote:Spoiler]]Sting doesn't get [[NeverSayDie vented]] by General Xaviax, but rather a HeroicSacrifice to save Kamen Rider Knight from Kamen Rider Strike's Final Vent. Then it turns out being "vented" puts a person in a state of suspended animation.[[/labelnote]]

* DevelopmentGag: Patra explaining where her sister got the name for her bear trip is actually from the author herself also having debates on whether to call them Ziggy, then Zagreus, and then a combination of the two.



* {{Keet}}: Calling him hyperactive is an understatement, as it's near impossible to keep him still for long periods of time.



* ArbitrarySkepticism: Goh finds something suspicious over Daten, Ryu's Digimon, when Ryu insists that Daten is just a Ditto who loves different transformations, even though Ryu points out how Goh regularly fights a talking Meowth.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had Goh let Chloe take care of the Quagsire instead of fighting with her, Chloe wouldn't have flung her Poké ball and accidentally caught Suicune by mistake.



* TheTeamNormal: When compared to Ash (who has Aura powers) and Chloe (who has a telekinetic weapon and implied sixth sense), Goh is the normal one of the Cerise Institute trio as his main skill is his ability to (usually) a capture Pokémon with a single Poké ball without missing.

* FatalFlaw: Single-mindedness, particularly to friendship. Like in the anime, Goh has a skewed idea of what "Friendship" means after the incident with Tokio. Even after moving on from it, he gets prickly in regards to Chloe being friends with other Trainers but also how she's deliberately keeping secrets from him, blowing up when Chloe says she's trying to capture a Quagsire to impress Tommy's father (so she can get an application to be a Pokémon Ranger).



* HypocriticalHumor: Dislikes Hop for how he was able to become friends with Chloe so quickly all while ignoring how he and ''Ash'' became friends just as quick.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: When he introduces himself to Ash and Goh, he says he's from "Chloe's school", completely unaware that Goh ''also'' goes to that school. He then admits that he didn't know much about Goh since he's frequently skipping class for research expeditions.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In ''Seeker of Crocus'', his Digimon pal Daten is nearly squished by a tray thrown by Aoi. (His) Gloria notes this could be avoided if he shoves Daten into a bag, to which he points out that he didn't because the bag he wanted to purchase had people give one star reviews for "not being able to keep their Nebbies in place".[[note]]It's a reference to ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' in which Nebby (Cosmog) constantly escaped Lillie's bag.[[/note]]

* DramaPreservingHandicap: With the Eevee Partner Moves, it'd be a snap for her to get rid of any obstacles. To prevent this from being too overpowered, the moves are specifically kept in a brooch, and Chloe can only use three at a time. Plus, Chloe has chosen not to reveal them out in the open for fear of people questioning how Eevee got her moves.



* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have the ability to evolve -- whether due to uncertainty of who she wants to evolve to or she just can't -- but she has a variety of moves that she can use to make up for this.
