'''[[Canalave Gym]]'''

* Before battle

* After sending out last Pokémon

:''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

:''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

* After being defeated

'''[[Villa]]'''

:''"Guhahahaha! How's your Villa? Can you give me a tour?"''

:''"Gwahahahaha! I spent a long time living on Iron Island. A place this fancy, I feel a little out of place. Don't get me wrong, it's a great place. It's nothing like my son's!"''

:''"You're acquainted with a fellow named [[Riley]], aren't you? He's a mystifying sort, that one. I have no idea how old he is, to tell you the truth."''

:''"I've faced many a challenger at my Gym. I've trained on Iron Island while contemplating my worth for days... I have the confidence now to batter down your defenses. Could I ask you for a rematch?"''

:''"I have the confidence now to batter down your defenses. Could I ask you for a rematch?" (If ''No'' is the first answer)<br>

:''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

:''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon--defeated!"''

:''"Since we last lost to you, we've been in training. I think we've addressed our shortcomings. Could I ask you for another rematch?"''

:''"Could I ask you for another rematch?" (If ''No'' is the first answer)<br>

:''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

:''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon--defeated!"''

* After being defeated

:''"Argh... Came up short again... Do I talk to my son Roark to train together...? No, that's too embarrassing... Hmm... This is a dilemma..."''

==In the anime==

Byron is obsessed with digging and Fossils. When his Fossils were stolen by Team Rocket in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', Byron was too busy admiring the hole they dug into the building to notice.

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Byron was presumably defeated by [[Paul]], earning him his eighth Badge, and thereby making him eligible for the Sinnoh League.

===Pokémon===

This listing is of Byron's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

|epname=Ancient Family Matters!

|vajp=Unshō Ishizuka

|desc=Byron's main Pokémon, {{p|Bastiodon}}, first appeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' where Byron used it to battle against his son Roark and his {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. However, the match was interrupted due to {{TRT}} stealing all of Byron's Fossil collection. It then teamed up with {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} to send them blasting off and recover the Fossils.

Bastiodon also appeared alongside Byron during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Steelix's known moves are {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Bind}}, and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

[[File:Fantina Byron Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Byron and his {{p|Bronzong}} with [[Fantina]] and her {{p|Mismagius}}]]

The next day, Byron hands Platinum the {{Badge|Mine}} for his previous defeat and is tasked with protecting Professor Rowan and Professor Berlitz while they recuperate after escaping the cage. When Platinum and Pearl go to protect the three lakes from Team Galactic, Byron sends Diamond to go train on Iron Island with his friend, [[Riley]], to increase his battling skills.

Bronzong's known moves are {{m|Payback}} and {{m|Extrasensory}}.}}

|epnum=PS348

|epname=A Big Stink Over Stunky

Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance. Byron seemed to have a fondness for Hareta, possibly like a second son to him.

|epnum=DPA09

|epname=Challenge! The Fortress Of Steel!!

None of Steelix's moves are known.}}

Onix's known moves are {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}.}}

==In the TCG==

* Byron and [[Roark|his son]]'s Badges are references to coal mines. They both have mines in or near their respective towns ([[Oreburgh Mine]] and [[Iron Island]], which was once a mine).

* Byron and [[Winona]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}} to own a [[giant Pokémon]]; however, Byron's was only a [[Fossil]].

* He is the only Gym Leader to have an [[Roark|offspring]] who is a Gym Leader in the same region at the same time.
