Debut | Pokémon: Gold Version/Pokémon: Silver Version |
Morty is the third gym leader encountered in Pokémon: Gold, Silver and Pokémon: Crystal Versions. He is a Ghost-type trainer.
Background
Morty was the gym leader of the Ecruteak City gym. He was motivated in his quest to train Pokémon due to the town's belief that a legendary Pokémon would appear to a truly powerful trainer. He seemed particularly interested in meeting Ho-Oh. Because of this, he said he spent all his life secretly training in the gym.
In the Crystal version, he first was seen in the Burned Tower, where he was helping Eusine to investigate it as part of Eusine's quest to find Suicune. Afterwards he could be battled in the gym. In all three versions, he was challenged and defeated by Gold. He then surrendered the Fogbadge and TM30: Shadow Ball to Gold. He remarked that he was not yet good enough to meet a legendary Pokémon and said that he envied Gold because Gold seemed to travel alot and thus has experienced more, as opposed to Morty's own isolated lifestyle.
Pokémon Roster
In Gold, Silver and Crystal, Morty has the following Pokémon.
