|desc={{p|Hoothoot}} was the first Pokémon sent out in the Gym battle between Falkner and Ash. Hoothoot managed to defeat [[Ash's Bayleef|Ash's Chikorita]] with ease, but was quickly defeated once Ash brought out his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Hoothoot was also sometimes [[Walking Pokémon|seen outside of its Poké Ball]] with Falkner when not in battle.

Hoothoot's known moves are {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Tackle}}, and {{m|Peck}}.}}

|desc={{p|Pidgeot}} appeared in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. When {{TRT}} tried to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], Falkner used Pidgeot to get {{AP|Pikachu}} back and send them blasting off again. Falkner later used it in a Gym battle against {{Ash}}. It was able to defeat a weakened {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} with a single {{m|Whirlwind}} attack.  

It was then put up against [[Ash's Charizard]] in the final round of the battle. With its impressive speed and power, Pidgeot was able to gain the upper hand and injure {{AP|Charizard}} making it unable to fly. But with {{Ash}}'s support and inspiration, {{AP|Charizard}} was able to fly again.  

Unfortunately, things still looked bad as Pidgeot used {{m|Agility}} to keep dodging {{AP|Charizard}}'s attacks and attack from behind. {{Ash}} luckily had {{AP|Charizard}} turn back and use {{m|Fire Spin}} trapping Pidgeot. It then finished it off with {{m|Seismic Toss}} making {{Ash}} the victor.

Falkner, along with his fellow Gym Leaders from Kanto and Johto, travels to the [[Indigo Plateau]] to take part in a tournament being held there. In the fight match ups, he is paired up against the [[Fuchsia City]] Gym Leader, [[Janine]]. In the third match, Falkner begins his battle against Janine and starts off with his {{p|Noctowl}}. The {{type|Poison}} Gym Leader proves too powerful for him and he is nearly defeated by her {{p|Ariados}}. Falkner eventually wins by default after Janine leaves the battle after seeing what she thought was her missing father, [[Koga]], in the crowd.  

Later, when the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Falkner and the other Gym Leaders battle his army of mind controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. They battle the Grunts on the [[Magnet Train]] and eventually manage to defeat them as they return to the stadium. After the defeat of the Masked Man, Falkner and the other Gym Leaders go back into their usual duties.  

Noctowl's known moves are {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Foresight}}.}}

Skarmory's known moves are {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Swift}} and {{m|Steel Wing}}, and its Ability is {{a|Keen Eye}}.}}

 

Natu's known moves are {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Teleport}}, and {{m|Peck}}.}}

* Falkner appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Pidgey}} to battle.
