Chuck is a gym leader faced in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal versions. He specializes in fighting-type Pokémon.

Background

Chuck is the gym leader of the Cianwood City gym. He is very committed to his fighting-type Pokémon and, like Bruno, spars with them regularly. At the same time he keeps himself in peak physical condition. He is very loud and likes to boast of his feats of strength. He also has an unnamed wife who lives in Cianwood.

In Gold, Silver and Crystal he is challenged by Gold and first attempts to prove his strength by tossing a boulder with his bare hands, but after Gold reminds him that that has nothing to do with Pokémon, he engages Gold in battle. After being defeated, he relinquishes the Stormbadge as well as TM01: Dynamicpunch and promises to train 24 hours a day. This is welcome news to his wife, who thought he was getting flabby.

Pokémon Roster

In Gold, Silver and Crystal, Chuck has the following Pokémon:

• Primeape
• Poliwrath

Other Games

Chuck appears in Pokémon Stadium 2 as the fifth opponent in the Gym Leader's Castle. He uses Sandslash, Primeape, Poliwrath, Machoke, Hitmonchan and Granbull in R1, and Sandslash, Poliwrath, Hypno, Hitmonchan, Ampharos and Ursaring in R2.

Chuck also appears in Pokémon Puzzle Challenge as the sixth opponent (his spot having been switched with Jasmine's, using a Primeape as his partner.

Other Appearances

• He appeared in an episode of the Pokémon anime which showed him as a bit out-of-shape and moreso showed his wife teasing his flabbiness. In the episode Ash battles and defeats him for the Stormbadge. Later in the series Brawly, a Hoenn gym leader, is revealed to have been a student of Chuck's.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Stadium 2, all of his Pokémon in both rounds know Dynamicpunch (the move which Chuck gives out the TM of in Gold, Silver and Crystal).
