Character Sheet: Brock

BROCK

For the next . . . while, we’ll be going over the gym leaders of the Pokemon series, using their gym challenges and general themes to help us build a moveset, something I realized was a perfectly reasonable possibility to do with them. A few have very basic gym challenges, but thankfully, the anime helps fill in some for them. The Trial Captains will also be included, as their trials functionally act as gym challenges. The only ones who won’t be included at the moments are the rivals who become gym leaders, as the rivals are a bit more complicated, and I’m not quite ready to parse them all out yet.

Brock is a Rock-type specialist and the very first gym leader of the Kanto region, making him the very first gym leader ever faced by a Pokemon player. As such, his gym is extremely basic and has mostly remained so in every iteration, basically just having a bunch of scattered boulders in the path to get to him and little more. As such, we’ll probably have to rely on the anime to fill in for him more than anyone else. Thankfully, he is one of the most prolifically featured in said anime.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Geodude

This slot will be reserved on all Gym Leaders for an attack from one of their most notable Pokemon. As such, Brock’s Geodude is the obvious one here, and will fly forward, striking opponents with a rocky punch.

 

Side B: Lovestruck!

Brock will immediately latch onto an opponent and start proclaiming his love. Will last longer with female characters.

 

Up B: Onix Surge

Onix will burst up from the ground beneath him, carrying him upward.

 

Down B: Drying Pan

He will hold up his frying pan and use it as a shield to protect himself.

 

Final Smash: Pewter Gym Rockstars

He will send out a Golem, Onix, and Aerodactyl to perform an ultimate Rock-type attack.

 

Entrance: His starting pose and line.

 

Taunts: Up, doing a little twirl with hearts in his eyes. Side, crossing his arms over his chest like his original pose. Down, kneeling and examining a Pokemon.

 

Kirby Hat: His hair and eyes.

 

Kart: Based on an Onix

Special Move: Drying Pan

 

Spirit Battle: On Mt. Moon (omega form), with Geodude and Onix.

 

Victory Screen: Proclaiming rock types victorious.

Losing Screen: Handing over his badge.

 

Color Swaps: His Red and Blue version, his original anime version, his Gold and Silver version, his Advanced anime look, his FRLG look, his Diamond & Pearl anime look, his Let’s Go look, a wedding look from his fantasies.

 

Thanks for reading! Next up, Misty makes a splash!
