History Characters / PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers

* EatTheDog: Wurmple's greatest fear is that Swellow would eat him one day. And with Swellow constantly thinking of food, poor Wurmple gets scared very often.

* AntiHero: Not afraid to beat anyone that opposes him on his quest to get the Time Gears.

* ButtMonkey: Before your team comes along, he was pretty clumsy and was always getting yelled at by Loudred and Chatot. He even unknowingly ruins the "surprise" of the Grandmaster of all things bad, much to Chatot's annoyance.

* BrutalHonesty: Especially evident during "Bidoof's Wish", where he tells Bidoof right to his face that he's horrified of how badly the rookie might mess up his first expedition.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Snover pulls one on Bidoof.

* BitchInSheep’sClothing: He appears to be nice and a very friendly Pokémon who is willing to help anyone in need but is later revealed that his nice and friendly side is just a façade.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: When he believes that you and your partner have to die, he teleports to where you are sleeping before you have any chance to react, and drags you off to the Spacial Rift to weaken you before fighting you at the end of the dungeon.

* CatchPhrase: "YOOM-TAH!" *flashflash*

* CatchPhrase: "Yup yup!" and "Oof!"

* CatchPhrase: "Eek!" and especially "Oh my gosh!" Her special episode is named after the latter, and for a very good reason. [[note]]She says "Oh my gosh!" 29 times in said episode, excluding two seen in flashbacks and one single use of "gosh".[[/note]]

* CatchPhrase: Subverted, he's one of the few apprentices to ''not'' have one.

* CatchPhrase: "Hey, hey!"

* CatchPhrase: "Kwee- Kwee KWAH!...Kwah-'' '''HAH!!'' '''"

* CatchPhrase: "Hopes and dreams..."

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike most ''Pokémon villains, he proved himself to be quite the careful player by using psychological traps into either convincing the main characters to commit suicide, or deceiving them to join his side, and when he realizes before the final battle that his [[BreakingSpeech speeches]] are fooling nobody it's quite clear his only thought is to obliterate them immediately.

* BondVillainStupidity: Averted. He proved himself to be quite the careful player by using psychological traps into either convincing the main characters to commit suicide, or deceiving them to join his side, and when he realizes before the final battle that his [[BreakingSpeech speeches]] are fooling nobody it's quite clear his only thought is to obliterate them immediately.

* TheSociopath: [[TheUnapologetic Feels no remorse]], has a complete LackOfEmpathy, uses emotional blackmail and manipulation to get what he wants (at one point, while disguised as Cresselia, he almost convinces the hero and their partner to commit suicide), he couldn't care less about others and sees them as just tools for him to use and then dispose of (trapping Palkia in a nightmare after he fails to kill the heroes), he has a grandiose sense of self-importance (if him wanting to take over the world and plunge it into darkness is any indication) and he is cruel and {{sadist}}ic.

* TheSociopath: Feels no remorse, has a complete LackOfEmpathy, uses emotional blackmail and manipulation to get what he wants (at one point, while disguised as Cresselia, he almost convinces the hero and their partner to commit suicide), he couldn't care less about others and sees them as just tools for him to use and then dispose of (trapping Palkia in a nightmare after he fails to kill the heroes), he has a grandiose sense of self-importance (if him wanting to take over the world and plunge it into darkness is any indication) and he is cruel and sadistic.

* HeroAntagonist: He only fights you because he thinks you are the one who distorted space when it was actually Darkrai.

* TragicTimeTraveler: The reason he's stealing the Time Gears is to [[spoiler:get them to Temporal Tower to stop the collapse of the tower and the time paralysis of the planet. He was branded a criminal by the entirety of Treasure Town and eventually captured by Dusknoir and his goons, who actually benefited from the dystopian future and were tricking everyone. He does escape thanks to you and your partner Pokémon, but is ultimately erased when the day is saved.]]

* MessiahCreep: He starts off as a villain willing to kill the Lake Guardians and the player Team even when it won't make a difference, then is gradually revealed as more heroic. In his episode, he's regarded as an idealist and [[spoiler:manages to talk his opposite number into reforming.]]

* WideEyedIdealist: He's convinced that no one in the future is truly evil - they are either misguided or desperate due to the CrapsackWorld they live in. This comes to bite him a few times, where he was attacked when off-guard. [[spoiler: He's ultimately proven right, at least where Dusknoir and his Sableye are considered, but it is a ''very'' close call.]]

* OnlyOneName: They're all just called "Poochyena."

* OnlyOneName: They don't have unique names to set them apart.

* OnlyOneName: There are six of them, but they're all just called Sableye.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Grovyle are supposed to be Pokémon ''heavily'' associated with heroes or protagonists just like other starters. In this case, he's built up as a dreaded and horrifying criminal and the BigBad causing the world's eventual stasis. Actually {{Subverted|Trope}}; he was just trying to get the Time Gears back to Temporal Tower, and he turns out to be GoodAllAlong.

* KirkSummation: In his special episode, he [[spoiler:uses one on Dusknoir after falling for his trap.]]

* TheWorfEffect: Their {{cameo}} in the first ''Time/Darkness'' anime adaptation was simply to demonstrate Wigglytuff's strength by having him whup their tails offscreen, as well as Gabite's by having him do the same.
