Gladion is usually quiet, reserved, and serious. Due to the event that traumatized {{an|Lillie}} in the past, Gladion nurtured a resentfulness of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and began his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] to be able to defeat every one of them. As seen in [[SM027|his debut]], this event also made him grow distant from his sister, as he still blamed himself for {{an|Lillie}}'s inability to touch Pokémon. As a result, Gladion had a considerably more difficult time opening up to Ultra Beasts that were, in fact, peaceful, a trait first seen in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', when it immediately grew defensive after learning about {{DL|Nebby|In the anime|Nebby}}'s nature. He also had a similar reaction to [[Ash's Poipole]] in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'' and even ordered {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} to attack {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}}, the {{Shiny}} {{p|Nihilego}} his father had been living with, in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]''.

Despite his usual cold exterior, Gladion has a more temperamental side to him. For example, in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', he did not hesitate in scolding Ash for causing Lillie's fear of Pokémon to resurface due to his negligence with Nebby. He also is somewhat of an impatient person, as seen in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', when he demanded the {{an|guardian deities}} to hurry up as they waited to save {{an|Lusamine|his mother}}.

Nonetheless, he is a strong Trainer, able to advance with ease through the bracket of the first [[Alola League]] [[Manalo Conference]]. He quickly recognized Ash's potential as a Trainer, and after defeating [[Ash's Lycanroc]] in ''A Masked Warning!'', thanked Ash for giving {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} an opportunity to train. He was also motivated to take the island challenge after seeing Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

As shown in ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Gladion has enough faith in his Pokémon to let them battle each other to train, without giving them any kind of command. He also becomes happy whenever his Pokémon do well, as shown when he congratulated Lycanroc with a fist-bump upon their victory against Ash. When battling with Silvally, Gladion makes good use of its {{a|RKS System}} to keep it at an advantage. Gladion and his Pokémon began adapting more of Ash's unconventional strategies after Gladion acknowledged him as his [[rival]]. In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Gladion and Lycanroc countered [[James]] and {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} using the same strategy Ash and his Lycanroc used in their grand trial against [[Nanu]], despite not being there to see it. As shown in the ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Gladion and Lycanroc were also able to devise a counter to the {{status|confusion}} caused by {{m|Outrage}}.
