Larry is a serious, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. He is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>
 
===Appearance===
Larry is depicted as a middle-aged man of average height and build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones, grey eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square gray eyebrows, and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it.
 
Larry wears a light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. Beneath his suit is a gray long-sleeve button-downed shirt with a pale-blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member.
 
As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them.
 
Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.
 
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website Blurb:''' ''This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.''

He is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> According to [[Iono]] in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years.


He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image. In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.

Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the Treasure Eatery of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles.
