Harley: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he and {{p|Wigglytuff}} appeared in a flashback. Harley later made cameo appearance with Drew and Solidad in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' watching May on TV performing in the [[Wallace Cup]].

Harley has a rather peculiar personality. He is undeniably flamboyant, wearing an outfit similar in appearance to {{p|Cacturne}}. He has very effeminate mannerisms, which include wiggling his hips as he walks, talking with a high voice, and using アタシ ''atashi'', the Japanese feminine version of ''I''. He also has a tendency to use English words intermixed with his normal Japanese speech; for example, he calls {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} and {{p|Banette}} "my buddies" and tells {{an|May}} "good morning". In the Latin-American dub, this is replaced by using Latin-American slang and allusions to local urban culture; for example, he sings a song by the Mexican showman {{wp|Juan Gabriel}} in the Grand Festival, as his {{p|Octillery}} dances in the flames. Another example of his feminine side is seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', where he cross-dresses as May, calling himself "Mayley" (Japanese: '''ハリカ''' ''Harika''), much to May's embarrassment and [[Solidad]]'s amusement. He is old friends with Solidad, as she said so herself.  

Harley is a conniving character with little to no regard for anybody but himself and his Pokémon. He tends to get personal vendettas against people for the smallest of reasons. For example, his vendetta against May began after they first met, when she said she had never heard of Cacturne before, that Cacturne was "scary", and that his cookies were "not half bad"; however, the supposed "real" reason he started to dislike her was because she looks just like a classmate who stole his last snack when he was a small child. He keeps photos of people that he has grudges against in a photo album and tends to inflict humiliation to try to get the better of an opponent, showing sadistic pleasure when he does. This is evident when he pretended to be friends with [[Max]] in order to get him to tell an embarrassing story about May only to record it and play it during a Contest. Finally, as evidenced by his Contest performances, Harley shows no qualms in using dirty tactics to win.
