* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Parker tries to use one of Datchi's abilities to get Ogremon away from Chloe and Juliana...except the ability is not supposed to be used in conjunction with the virus currently possessing Ogremon, thus the Digimon gets out of his laptop ''and into the Cerise Institute''.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She's usually seen as barefoot. Whether that's a dryad thing or it's just how she doesn't like shoes in general is unknown.

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

* SaiGuy: His weapons are a pair of sai, both to relate to his name and also invoke Poseidon's trident.

* TheRedMage: Blake gives this analogy to Chloe when she asks him to make the ''Let's Go'' Partner Moves in that Eevee is basically learning a variety of black and white magic but doesn't really excel in high-level skills. Chloe even imagines Eevee wearing the traditional Red Mage garb.

* CompositeCharacter: He has the stoic nature of Ash's Squirtle yet he can use Bubblebeam like May's and uses it to help with Chloe's messy hair ala Dawn's Piplup.

* CompositeCharacter: Author notes reveal that they're based on [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Hunter/The Golden Guard and The Collector]].

He ''hates'' spoilers and is not happy when Chloe was about to give away twists to two ''Kamen Rider'' series he hasn't watched yet (specifically she was about to spoil [[spoiler:the deaths of Kamen Rider Dragon Knight/Kit Taylor and Kamen Rider Fourze/Gentaro Kisaragi, although they do come back to life later)]].

* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: When Chloe stares at her, she rolls her eyes and tells the girl to make comments on her pointed ears.

* RunningGag: He ''really'' wants to watch ''Series/SquidGame'' with Sai refusing to humor him.

* FatalFlaw: Impatience. Both of them are eager to jump into the fray and get stronger so that they can face all challenges, and get somewhat disappointed when they don't get them right away. Professor Oak and Birch have to remind them that they're still young and they need time to truly develop.

* MeaningfulName: She's named after a hamsa hand -- a symbol that's said to protect the wearer from evil.

* RealMenWearPink: He's a cool, badass, black-wearing trainer...and he's a huge fan of Lolirock, secretly squeeing at the selphie he took of him, Chloe and Hop with the band.

* BadlyBeatenBabysitter: He's usually Daga's caretaker, a job that is easier said than done.

* PunnyName: He's named after Poseidon and he wields a pair of sai. (The pronounciation of the "sei" in Poseidon is like the weapon).

* {{Youkai}}: Downplayed in that she's not one, but Chloe makes a reference to her being based on a ''tsukumogami'', a type of youkai that can only manifest if an item has lived to be a hundred. The commissioner also notes that Descendant's Shadow was created using personal items from Wakana Himika herself.
