Biography
Paul is a rather arrogant trainer. From Veilstone City, he headed to Sandgem to get his starter, he has since traveled through Kanto, Johto & Hoenn. However, he is not a caring trainer, what he wants from his Pokémon is pure power and the trainers he faces to be strong. When he first meets Ash, he demands a 3 on 3 Battle, however since Ash was still looking for Pikachu, Ash couldn't battle, this warranted some aggravation on Paul's part. Paul is also known to release his Pokémon if he deems them weak or useless. Some fans call him a "cold-hearted power monger" which seems somewhat appropriate due to his ambition and seeing his pokemon as tools for his own glory and not to mention he has a rather devilish grin.
Pokémon
As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in Different Strokes for Different Blokes and Riding the Winds of Change! respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen. The On-hand Pokemon List contains Paul's Pokemon whom are currently used by him in the Sinnoh League and against Ash. It was later revealed that his Torterra, Nidoking, Hariyama, Weavile, Froslass, Drapion and Electivire have a type of sentimental value to him as he captured these Pokemon when he first started his journey as a Pokemon trainer.
On hand
| Pokémon | Additional Information |
|
Having evolved into Electivire in preparation for the Sinnoh League, Electivire became the true powerhouse of Paul's team. It has many amazingly powerful attacks including Thunder, Brick Break, ThunderPunch and Giga Impact that allow it to inflict serious damage on its foes and has the moves Protect and Light Screen to allow it to be more defensive. | |
|
|
Aggron was the first of Paul's Pokémon that he used during his Sinnoh League battle against Ash. Aggron is a very strong Pokémon and has a powerful Metal Sound attack that even managed to incapacitate Pokémon in the stands. In addition to that, it has powerful Metal Claw, Double-Edge and Flash Cannon attacks which allowed it to hold its own against Ash's Pikachu. However, it eventually fell to Ash's Infernape. |
|
|
Paul's next Pokémon during the Sinnoh League battle against Ash was Gastrodon. Gastrodon is a very strong Pokémon and managed to trap Ash's Staraptor in battle with a strategy that involved using Water Pulse and Body Slam. It's also used a Counter Shield using Muddy Water. In addition to that, it has a powerful Ice Beam attack. It was soon defeated by Ash's Buizel's Ice Punch. |
|
Drapion is Paul's third Pokémon that he used during the Sinnoh League battle against Ash. Not much has been seen about Drapion's battle strengths yet, but it manages to use all its pincers defensively against fast Pokémon like Ash's Buizel. In addition to that, it has powerful Cross Poison and Pin Missile attacks that let it attack its foes. It also has and used the Toxic Spikes attack in order to poison any foe who comes in contact with the ground and Poison Fang. It used this strategy to poison 5 of Ash's Pokémon. | |
|
Paul captured Ninjask just before he met with Chimchar. He then later used it in his battle against Ash. Using its incredibly speed, it managed to evade most of the attacks from Ash's Gliscor. It has some powerful tackling attacks which it used to knock Gliscor to the ground, thus poisoning it. It has strong Fury Cutter to strike and Agility to defend. In addition to that, it has a Giga Drain attack which it used against Infernape, in combination with its Speed. However, Infernape managed to defeat it. | |
|
Froslass was the fifth of Paul's Pokémon seen during his battle with Ash. Shortly after sending it out, it used the move Hail, which coupled with its Snow Cloak ability, it managed to evade the attacks by Ash's Pikachu. However, Pikachu soon got the upper hand. It used its powerful attacks such as Ice Shard and Ice Beam to try and freeze Pikachu, but eventually fell in battle. |
At home
| Pokémon | Additional Information |
|
|
Torterra, evolved from the Turtwig that he obtained as a starter is one of Paul's strongest Pokémon whom Paul has used in his many league battles. It knows many strong attacks such as Frenzy Plant, it manages to hold its own in battle. However, it was defeated easily by Cynthia's Garchomp. This was a one off loss however as Paul used it in a variety of battles where it won easily. Despite its trainer being harsh, Torterra itself was eager to help Ash's Grotle get to terms with its new physique and loss of speed. |
|
|
While stuck in a forest, Ash & Co. got attacked by an Ursaring that chased them out. Deciding it was worthy of testing, Paul used his Chimchar to capture it. Paul was happy with the strength of the Ursaring and has thus kept it on his team. After its capture, Paul has used it in many battles and has managed to prove that the Ursaring is strong and Paul has used it in numerous battles. Normally, it ends up having its Guts ability activated to allow it to defeat its foes with ease. |
|
|
Before getting to the Veilstone Gym, Paul evolved his Murkrow into Honchkrow. Unlike Murkrow, Honchkrow is powerful and can hold its own in battle with attacks such as it's powerful Sky Attack and Dark Pulse. Using these attacks, it managed to defeat Ash's Grotle with little difficulty. It was also used in a PokéRinger contest where it managed to get to the final round, only to be beaten by Ash's newly evolved Staraptor. |
|
|
Paul's Weavile was first used in battle against Cynthia's Garchomp. It has a variety of Ice attacks at its disposal such as Blizzard as well as some strong physical attacks including Metal Claw. However, in both of the battles it has been seen in, against Cynthia's Garchomp and Ash's Staraptor, it has lost despite having the type advantage. |
|
|
Paul encountered Gliscor in a town near Veilstone City. It had become trapped in the town after being blown there by the wind and started causing trouble with a fleet of Gligar. In stopping it, Paul captured the Gliscor and after checking its stats, decided to keep it on his team. Gliscor has a range of powerful attacks including X-Scissor. |
|
|
Paul obtained a Magmar prior to getting to Veilstone City and successfully used it in his gym battle against Maylene. It has a variety of powerful attacks including Fire Spin & Fire Punch. Paul later used it in his battle against Brandon where it had troubles fighting Registeel before being defeated by Regirock. It evolved into Magmortar not long after this loss. |
|
|
Paul also utilised his Hariyama in his battle against the Pyramid King Brandon. Sending it against Regirock, Hariyama utilised a variety of fighting type volleys in order to try and defeat it. However, it wasn't too long before Hariyama was defeated. |
|
|
Paul utilised his Nidoking in his battle against the Pyramid King Brandon. Sending it against Registeel, Paul managed to get in a few attacks with Nidoking, including the use of it's powerful Earth Power attack, before it ended up being defeated. |
Released
| Pokémon | Additional Information |
|
This Starly was the Starly that Paul kept, due to it knowing Aerial Ace. It is a powerful Starly that was able to defeat Ash's Starly in a quick battle. However despite this win, Paul decided to let Starly go. | |
|
Paul caught these two Starly with the other one. However after learning that these two did not know Aerial Ace, Paul quickly released these two and kept the other one, for a short time. | |
|
While stuck in a forest, Paul discovered a Wild Stantler. Battling it with Chimchar, he capturesd it and decided, like usual, to check its strength with his Pokédex, he decided that Stantler was too weak to be on his team and thus released it back to the wild. | |
|
Chimchar is one of Paul's Weaker Pokémon. Knowing many fire attacks, Paul set it out against Ash's Aipom with whom it put up a decent fight. However it eventually got defeated, however this defeat did not disuade Paul's faith in Chimchar. After its defeat at the hands of Cynthia, Paul is worried that Chimchar is not striking its potential which continues into the Tag Battle Paul Enters. When it seems its not fulfilling its potential more, Paul decides to release it after leaving it in battle for Ash to command. Soon after it is released, Ash asks Chimchar to join him. |
Given away
| Pokémon | Additional Information |
|
It is unknown where Paul obtained his Azumarill, however Paul did use it in his battle against the Rock Gym Leader of Sinnoh, Roark. With a powerful Hydro Pump, Paul hoped it would help make quick work of Roark's team. However, Roark's Geodude made quick work of it. After it's pitiful defeat during the Gym Battle with Roark, Paul gave his Azumarill to a passing trainer. |

Trivia

- Paul has an older brother named Reggie.
- Even though Paul lost to Ash in the match that decided the semi-finalists, he soon after ended his rivalry with Ash.
- Intrestingly, out of all the battles Paul and Ash were in, Paul was the victor, making him a lot stronger than Ash, yet he couldn't defeat Brandon the Pyramid King but Ash could because Paul fought out of anger.
- He has lost to Ash in the Sinnoh League because Ash's Infernape got angry at him.
