==In the core series games==

Crasher Wake uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon in his battles. For defeating him, Trainers receive the {{Badge|Fen}}, {{TM|55|Brine}}, and are able to use {{m|Defog}}{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}}/{{m|Surf}}{{sup/4|Pt}} outside of battle. In addition, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, if he is the fourth Gym Leader defeated, all Pokémon up to level 50 will obey their Trainer. Crasher Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Crasher Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone to not take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use Defog to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he appears in the [[Celadon Department Store]] to give the player some Sinnoh [[first partner Pokémon]] accessories. He can be found again later, on {{rt|47|Johto}}.

The [[DP083|following day]], Ash had a three-on-three [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Crasher Wake. Much to Crasher Wake's surprise, Pikachu quickly took his {{p|Gyarados}} out with a midair {{m|Volt Tackle}}. He sent out {{p|Quagsire}} next, while Ash substituted Pikachu for {{AP|Turtwig}} to overcome Quagsire's immunity to {{type|Electric}} attacks. Ash quickly recalled Turtwig to avoid a second {{m|Mud Bomb}} and sent out {{AP|Buizel}}. Quagsire was soon defeated after its {{m|Ice Beam}} froze Buizel's {{m|Aqua Jet}} into a hardened projectile. Buizel then took on Crasher Wake's final Pokémon, {{p|Floatzel}}, in a match of speed and power. Ash later recalled Buizel after it became {{status|Confusion|confused}} from a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack, so Pikachu was called back out. Pikachu was soon partially frozen by Floatzel's {{m|Ice Fang}}. Buizel then returned to the battlefield after recovering from its confusion, and it knocked Floatzel out with a close-range Water Pulse, earning Ash the {{Badge|Fen}}.

Quagsire's known moves are {{m|Mud Bomb}}{{tt|*|Sludge Bomb in the dub}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====

Later, he reappears in [[Lake Valor]] to save [[Rad Rickshaw]] and {{adv|Pearl}} after the Galactic Bomb's explosion dried the lake, and [[Saturn]] defeated the latter. He then had his {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Floatzel}} to refill the lake using {{m|Rain Dance}}. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him ''his''), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker {{p|Buizel}}, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him. Once Pearl managed to catch two more Pokémon, Crasher Wake promised to make him his own theme song.

 

Later, Wake, along with [[Candice]] and [[Maylene]], joins the fight against the Team Galactic Commanders on the [[Spear Pillar]]. Wake and [[Gardenia]] team up to face [[Mars]], emerging victorious and attempting to fight [[Cyrus]] before he can finish his ritual. Due to a rift in space-time, they are forced to use the Sinnoh Underground to get to Cyrus, but they manage to come up right at the exact spot he was in.

All the Gym Leaders attempt to stop Cyrus's plan by breaking one of his [[Red Chain]]s. Though a difficult struggle, they manage to succeed, but they bring upon Cyrus's wrath in the process and are defeated. After the final battle with Cyrus ends, Wake and the other Gym Leaders were taken to a hospital due to their heavy injuries.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====

While Wake recovered from his injuries, Pearl finally managed to hear a theme song he made for him through a music player.

|desc={{p|Gyarados}} was very briefly seen during his presentation, where he was riding on it. It was not used in the Gym match against Platinum.

|desc={{p|Floatzel}} was the first Pokémon sent against Platinum, going up against her {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}} in the Gym's pool. Both Pokémon demonstrated great speed, but Floatzel was eventually hit by a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, sending him flying and defeating him.

He later reappeared with Quagsire in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]'', where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up [[Lake Valor]].

|desc={{p|Quagsire}} was the second and last Pokémon chosen by Wake to go against Platinum and her {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}}. Both Pokémon started by using Blizzard, and kept using it until Empoleon collapsed from exhaustion. Quagsire next faced {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{p|Torterra}}, [[Tru]]. After tossing it into the pool, Quagsire prepared to attack Tru as soon as he surfaced. However, Platinum surprised Wake by swimming behind him before surfacing, allowing Tru to defeat Quagsire with {{m|Giga Drain}}, thus making Platinum the winner.

Quagsire later reppeared with Floatzel in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]'', where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up [[Lake Valor]].

|desc=As a young Trainer, Crasher Wake was shown using a {{p|Lumineon}} in a battle against [[Palmer]]. It is unknown if he still has it.

* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} as well as {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, a non-player character claims that Crasher Wake uses {{m|Defog}} for [[Pastoria City]]. However, none of the Pokémon he uses in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battles can learn this move.

** Some of his other Pokémon introduced from [[Generation V]] onwards would be able to learn Defog: the {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Lumineon}} he used in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] from [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], as well as the {{p|Pelipper}} and {{p|Scizor}} that he used in the {{si|Battle Tower}} from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].

* With the release of {{game|Platinum}}, the order of three Gym battles in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is shifted: instead of being fourth, Crasher Wake is now fifth in the lineup.
