!!! Slowpoke -> Slowking
One of the many victims of Team Rocket's Slowpoke Tail schemes, Slowpoke was caught by Kris following her and Gold stopping Team Rocket at the Slowpoke Well. It evolved into Slowking after fusing with Kris' Shellder during a battle against Euisine.
* FusionDance: Slowpoke evolves into Slowking via Kris's Shellder clamping down on its head. While that's not accurate to the game mechanics (Trading a Slowpoke holding a King's Rock), it is accurate to the pokedex lore for Slowking, as is Slowpoke's earlier lamentations about Slowbro (Shellder has to bite the tail, which doesn't exist).
* [[IJustWantToBeSpecial I Just Want to Evolve]]: Prior to episode 22, Slowpoke spends a lot of time lamenting that its lost tail means it'll never be able to evolve into Slowbro. Serves as foreshadowing of what it ultimately does instead.
* ShoutOut: Just like with Red's Charizard in the prequel, its evolution is a massive one to ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.

[[folder: Silver]]
TheRival. A Pokemon thief who has a vendetta against Team Rocket.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. He's still as antagonistic as in the original games, and is still a {{Jerkass}} and a thief. However, the web animation highlights that working for Team Rocket when he was a child has left a big trauma, even eight years later, [[FreudianExcuse which explains his behaviour]]. While he steals Totodile, a scene later shows he's not proud of his action. In the original game, there is no indication Silver has a past trauma related to being conscripted in Team Rocket or is regretful of his theft. He's also shown actively fighting against Team Rocket, [[AloofAlly even though he refuses to cooperate with Gold and Kris - or even to be seen by them]]. He also has feelings for Kris, but again, [[{{Tsundere}} he doesn't want to be seen by her]].
* AgeLift: See Gold's folder above.
* AloofAlly: When it comes to Team Rocket, Silver shares the same goal as Gold and Kris: To stop their criminal actions. However, he prefers to stay on his own - though when they're in the same area, such as during the battle of Slowpoke Well, he helps them from the shadows.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Silver treats his Pokémon very harshly. When Kris runs into him at Sprout Tower, he's kicking his own Zubat at another trainer's Hoothoot and has left his battered, unconscious Totodile to lie on the floor instead of returning it to its Poké Ball or tending to its injuries. This callousness shocks Kris and earns Silver a tongue-lashing.
* BerserkButton: Team Rocket's criminal actions, especially the maiming of Pokémon, for Silver. He may be an aloof and callous jerk to his own Pokémon, but when a hiker tries to sell him some Slowpoke tails, Silver—who has seen firsthand the horrible way in which these tails are harvested—begins trembling with barely-repressed rage.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Silver is an aloof {{Jerkass}} who [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals treats his Pokémon harshly, even kicking them]], but he hates Team Rocket with a passion for its criminal actions. The Slowpoke tails trafficking particularly revolts him.
* ForegoneConclusion: We know from the ''Red'' series that Silver is going to [[TookALevelInKindness warm up]] at least to [[LoveRedeems Kris, who he will marry]].
* FreudianExcuse: Silver's rude and brutal personality stems from his past negative experiences as a child, when he was working for Team Rocket because of his parents, and from the emotional burden of being Giovanni's son.
* GaveUpTooSoon: Subverted; he believes he can't have a chance on Kris because she appears to be intimate with Falkner, but right as Silver gave up, Kris let down Falkner. And even then, we know [[spoiler: Silver and Kris are going to be married with a child in the future]], so we know Silver will open up to Kris.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Silver is a {{Jerkass}} that [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals treats his Pokémon horribly]] and refuses to associate himself with Gold and Kris despite them sharing his goal of stopping Team Rocket. However, when his MeleeATrois with Kris and Eusine gets interrupted by the temple collapsing, Silver shows no hesitation of [[HeroicSacrifice using his own body to soften Kris's fall]], showing that he does care about her, but is all {{Tsundere}} about it.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's the son of Ariana and the younger brother of [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Mars]]. Neither of them are confirmed to be related to him in any way in canon (though with Ariana, [[AmbiguouslyRelated there are suspicions]]).
* {{Tsundere}}: ''Extremely'' harsh type. He's mean to both [[{{Jerkass}} people]] and Pokémon, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he shows no hesitation]] [[HeroicSacrifice to cushion Kris' fall]], showing that deep down he cares about her. His Pokémon also show UndyingLoyalty towards him, fighting a huge load of Koffings while he was unconscious; with the implication beint that they know Silver cares about her deep down, but has huge trouble expressing it. And, to complete the package, he has [[FreudianExcuse an utterly heartbreaking reason]] to be so harsh.

* BreatherBoss: In-universe, Gold has a much easier time beating Chuck than he did with Whitney or Morty. He beats him on his first try, and their battle doesn't even last a whole episode.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: He's a hulking wall of muscle and is strong enough to lift a giant boulder over his head, crack it, and throw it across the room.
* SingleStrokeBattle: His Poliwrath gets into one of these with Gold's Noctowl. Poliwrath is the one who collapses.

[[folder: Eusine]]
* AdaptationalJerkass: He's more antagonistic towards Kris. During their first fight, he mocks her Slowpoke because it has lost its tail, which will prevent it from becoming a Slowbro. He also causes the Legendary Beasts to run away because he wants to catch them when, as stated by the Unowns, only the pure of heart trainers can catch them (with canon stating that Ethan, Kris, Lyra and, surprisingly enough, ''[[{{Jerkass}} Silver]]'' are trainers pure of heart).
