Brandon is one of the seven Frontier Brains of Hoenn's Battle Frontier appearing in Pokémon: Emerald Version. He is the Pyramid King in charge of the Battle Pyramid.
Background
Brandon was a passionate explorer in his youth who considered explorations to be the grandest of adventures due to relying on one's one wits, strength, Pokémon and above all courage to succeed. He became the Pyramid King of Hoenn's Battle Frontier, considering himself its "chief', and designed the pyramid as a grand exploration in which trainers on each floor had to be defeated to light the floor and proceed onward. Additionally, items could not be brought into the pyramid although items found within the pyramid could be used.
In Emerald, Brendan/May could challenge Brandon after completing 21 and then 70 floors of the Battle Pyramid. Brandon was excited by both battles, and gave the Brave Symbol to the player upon his defeat. After the second battle, he gave a golden symbol instead.
Pokémon Roster
In the first challenge, Brandon uses the following Pokémon:
During the second battle, he instead uses the following team:
Other Appearances
- Brandon appears in the Battle Frontier episodes of the Pokémon anime, where he is the last of the seven Frontier Brains whom Ash faces, the location of his pyramid only being revealed after Ash collected the first six symbols. In the first episode his pyramid was located near Pewter City, and Brandon wound up having to defeat Ash to sav ehim after he had been possessed by the ghost of an ancient king. In later episodes of the Battle Frontier saga, Ash lost to Brandon again but eventually Ash defeated him in a four-on-four battle at the saga's end. Brandon reappeared in the Diamond & Pearl episodes, where he brought the Battle Pyramid to Sinnoh, defeated Paul in a battle and protected Regigigas from being disturbed by a Pokémon hunter. He eventually left his three Regi- Pokémon behind to protect Regigigas at Snowpoint's temple.
- Brandon appears in the Pokémon Adventures manga, where he is the third Frontier Brain whom Emerald battles. He has a penchant for self-destruction moves and looks down upon Emerald. However, Brandon's three Regis are defeated by Emerald with the aid of various Revives his Pokémon picked up as they explored the pyramid, which impresses Brandon. After the match he defended Emerald when the other Frontier Brains suspected him of having stolen a rental Pokémon.
