Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is a character from Pokémon Gold and Silver and their remakes. He acts as the rival of the game, occasionally challenging, taunting and arriving just in time to stop whatever the player was doing. He is the son of Giovanni, who was long rumored to be his father. He also has a deep hatred for Team Rocket due to his father leaving him to go do strenuous training after his loss to Red.

In the Anime



File:SilverAnimeScreenshot.PNG

Silver appears briefly in the anime when Jimmy has a flashback of a battle he lost against him. He is shown with only a Nidoking.

In the Manga

Silver appears in the manga under the same name. He is one of the Pokédex holders. He appears in the Gold, Silver and Crystal Arc; the FireRed and LeafGreen Arc; the Emerald Arc; and the HeartGold and SoulSilver Arc.

Training Techniques

Silver seems to favor the strong Pokémon and likes to use the Dragon's Den as his training ground. He also hates weak Pokémon and weak trainers. After many defeats at the hands of the player, he starts to train his Pokémon with kindness.

At first, Silver likes to steal other trainers' Pokémon rather than capture his own, like the starter that has a type advantage to the player's and a Sneasel from Cianwood City, but he eventually learns to take care of his Pokémon properly, as seen by the fact that he has a Crobat.

Trivia

  • Some hackers know how to play as Silver, though it is not recommended as it is hacking and it may cause damage to the game.
  • Despite Magneton and Sneasel gaining evolutions in Generation IV, Silver's Magneton and Sneasel do not evolve into their final forms when battled at their highest levels. This may be due to Magneton needing Mt. Coronet to evolve and Sneasel needing a Razor Claw.
  • Silver's team in Pokémon Stadium 2 consisted of Mewtwo, Lugia, and Ho-Oh, all of them being legendary Pokémon.
  • Silver's eye color in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver differs between the artwork and the game. In the artwork, his eyes are grey, while in the game opening, his eyes are red.
  • During the special Celebi event, Silver is found in the past arguing with his Father.
  • Before it was revealed that Silver is Giovanni's son, in FireRed and LeafGreen, when Red confronts a Rocket Scientist, he mistook the former for Giovanni's son, only to remember that his son had red hair.
  • In the game and Pokémon Adventures, Silver is Giovanni's son. However, in the anime, Silver (the rival who appeared in the Japanese opening of Legend of Thunder) was never mentioned to be Giovanni's son and neither Giovanni did mention about his son in the anime series.
  • It is unclear if Silver hates Team Rocket in the anime.
