* {{Determinator}}: Ash's biggest defining trait is his unwillingness to give up. It doesn't matter if he's facing a powerful trainer, [[PhysicalGod Legendary Pokemon]], or TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, he'll keep going until he succeeds. Even when faced with the embodiments of the Legendary Birds' powers, Ash manages to overcome and avoid being assimilated/possessed.

* FantasticallyIndifferent: By the time Ash meets a talking Slowking, he's seen ''far'' too much to feel much surprise, let alone awe, over it.

* NoSell: Thank to Air Lock, Infernus is able to negate almost any electric type move. This is so powerful, it allows Infernus to completely curbstomp [[spoiler: Michael's Jolteon]] in their battle, despite it being his strongest Pokemon.



* TheDitz: Tangrowth is... not Ash's smartest Pokémon. At one point, Ash tries to give Tangrowth a name. Despite agreeing to it, and helping choose the name, Tangrowth is unable to understand that the name it just chose for itself was its name.

* FragileSpeedster: Sneasel is fast, and can do a lot of damage with its claws, but one good hit can knock it completely unconscious.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sneasel may act like a spoiled brat most of the time, and is easily the nastiest of Ash's Pokémon, but at the end of the day, he's still a aprt of the team, and cares about Ash just as much as the other members of his team

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Upon accidentally triggering the evolution of the ancient Rhydon, who'd been so determined not to evolve that it embedded ''five'' everstones in it's chest, Ash almost throws up, thinking of it as "the Rhydon that should have stayed a Rhydon".

Added DiffLines:

* WorthyOpponent: Ash has great respect for the gym leaders and (barring Erika) enjoys fighting them in rematches. After his second match with Erika, Ash agreed with her that he probably wouldn't bother doing so again. Likewise, the gym leaders all enjoy battling Ash and almost all of them invite him back for a rematch whenever he wants.

* TheAce: Ash is one of, if not the most, skilled Pokemon Trainers of his generation. He's an incredibly accomplished trainer with an incredibly powerful team, and most of his losses are due to fights with people far beyond his current level of skill.

* BloodKnight: Infernus' main concern is always battle and growing stronger. While some of Ash's Pokémon laze about and relax while at Oak's Lab, he's always challenging any strong Pokémon he can find, especially fellow fire types.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's initially quite hostile to just about everyone and picks a fight with basically every Pokémon he sees. Later Infernus develops into JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* RageBreakingPoint: While he has lots of problems with Golduck, Ash remains hopeful that they can work together. But when Golduck fires a full force Water Gun at him (which would be fatal for humans) and badly injures Seeker, Ash declares he'll never use Golduck again and has his Pokeball sent to Seafoam Islands to be released into the wild there.

to:

* TheApprentice: [[spoiler:To Lance and to Steven. While it's technically so he can one day enter the Elite Four, the unspoken truth is that Lance is training him to one day succeed him as Champion]].
* BornWinner: It's vaguely implied that this is partially why Ash is so talented. His extensive knowledge of Pokémon and their abilities came from his mother, who was a student of Professor Oak's and a Pokémon researcher, while his inborn battling instincts came from his father, [[spoiler:who, prior to his identity as Team Rocket's leader being exposed, was the strongest gym leader of the Kanto League]].
* ChildProdigy: Almost certainly. [[spoiler:In his very first conference, he made runner-up -- that's all but unheard of, as that meant he had beaten several trainers who had years of experience over him and had faced several League Conferences of their own. Even if most League personnel weren't familiar with his exploits, that feat alone would've been enough to catch their eye. With that familiarity, he was apprenticed to Lance and is now on the fast track to the Elite Four]]. Considering everything that he's accomplished on his journey, Ash is quite possibly the most talented trainer of his generation, bar none.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Mewtwo reveals to him that he is Giovanni's son, which was eventually confirmed by Professor Oak and then Delia herself]].

* ViolentlyProtectiveBigBrother: Of a sort. Ash has referred to Nidoking as his "brother", and Nidoking is certainly the most violently protective of Ash's Pokémon. He views almost any Pokémon that aren't part of the team with distrust at best, and Ash has to talk to him to forgive Oz for attacking Ash before she was caught, as Nidoking had been nursing a nasty grudge.

* DishingOutDirt: Nidoking gains ground typing after evolving. In particular, Nidoking likes to creatively use Earth Power to open up a crevice below him to drop into, allowing him to travel underground and avoid attacks.

JackOfAllTrades: In regards to the team, Nidoking serves this role. He isn't as absurdly strong and durable as Infernus, doesn't have immense strength behind him as Torrent, and isn't nearly as skilled with his own elemental powers as Dazed. However, he's durable enough to weather most attacks, fairly skilled with earth manipulation, reasonably physically strong, and has a wide enough move pool that he can counter most Pokemon he fights.

*PoisonousPerson: Nidoking's body is covered in poisonous barbs during battle, and his favorite method of injecting it in battle is to ram an opponent with his horn.
