About
Matis is the Gym Leader of Kuchiba City's Gym, known officially as the Kuchiba Gym. He hands out the Thunder Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Electric-type Pokémon.
An intimidating person, Matis surrounds himself with other tough-looking Trainers. He is arrogant, loud, and crude; and refers to all challengers as "babies" until they manage to defeat him. Matis generally looks down on unevolved Pokémon, preferring to evolve them as soon as possible. He also seems to be an extremely brutal battler, as nearly every Trainer that faced him ended up with their Pokémon being seriously injured.
