Shamus: Difference between revisions

Shamus' personality somewhat resembles [[Paul]]'s, as both only sought and desired strong Pokémon, and refused to bond with them and treat them with respect. However, Shamus differs from Paul in the sense that he attempts to intimidate others into giving him their Pokémon as "winnings" from a battle, such as when Shamus was seen trying to force [[Kylan]] into giving him his Pokémon. This is in contrast to the markedly more fair and respectful Paul.

Shamus was also quite emotionally manipulative, faking concern and sympathy for his Pokémon at first, after which he would laugh at their reactions once his facade was done. His emotionally manipulative nature was further proven after he saw {{AP|Pignite}}'s strength; despite having previously released it due to deeming it weak, Shamus attempted to convince Pignite to rejoin his team, albeit unsuccessfully. In addition, Shamus is ruthless in battle, and this extends to his own Pokémon, as seen when he ordered his {{p|Heatmor}} to attack its partner {{p|Emboar}} after the latter was infatuated by {{AP|Snivy}}'s {{m|Attract}}, in order to snap it out of its effects.
