Tate and Liza first appeared in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]''. Their father, [[Jin]], owns the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and often goes into space to search for space Pokémon. As a result, they often spend time at the Space Center, and even have battles in zero-gravity by using their {{p|Baltoy}}'s {{m|Confusion}} technique to levitate them.

In the anime, Liza is depicted as being more experienced in battle, and it is implied in their debut episode that she always defeats Tate whenever the two have a battle. Liza loves to annoy Tate by teasingly reminding him of such things, but what angers Tate even more is Liza's habit of referring to him as her "little" brother even though they are twins. This is because Liza is actually the older twin. Nevertheless, Liza seems to care for Tate anyway.

When [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} visited Mossdeep, Tate quickly befriended [[Max]] since they had quite a few things in common, including Max's issues with his own older sister, {{an|May}}. Said episode itself focuses primarily on Tate and Max, who spent nearly the entire time by themselves while having fun together. Likewise, Liza related with May, and took to showing her new friends around the facility.

Later, while Tate and Max were hanging out in the cockpit of the space shuttle, Team Rocket infiltrated the area with the intent of stealing the shuttle. Tate and Max were unaware of this until the trio reached the cockpit, whereupon Meowth tied the two boys up back-to-back with a rope. Fortunately, [[Ash's Corphish]] had been aboard the shuttle as well, and freed the duo, who promptly knocked the Rockets out. In the moments that followed, Tate and Max became the heroes of the day when they safely landed the shuttle. The Rockets then suffered the wrath of Liza and May, who attacked them with their Lunatone and Combusken, respectively, allowing [[Ash's Pikachu]] to send them flying.

In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Tate and Liza finally faced of against Ash in a [[Double Battle]], in which their Lunatone and Solrock, respectively, were up against Ash's Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}}. At first, they continuously argued with each other, which allowed their opponent to get hits in. However, after another attack by Team Rocket, the twins managed to work together. In the battle that followed, they showed an incredible ability to balance each other's Pokémon, becoming a seemingly unstoppable force that Ash had to resort to unorthodox tactics in order to defeat. Eventually, Pikachu and Swellow used Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}} attack as armor, and with this newfound power, they easily defeated Lunatone and Solrock, earning Ash the Mind Badge.

They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[AG120]]''.

===Pokémon===

This listing is of Liza and Tate's Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

====Liza's====

|trainer=Liza

|pkmn=Lunatone

|img=Liza Lunatone.png

|desc=Liza's {{p|Lunatone}} is the Pokémon she uses in all Gym battles. When the twins battled each other in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', Lunatone won the battle for Liza. She later also used it against {{TRT}} after they failed to steal a space shuttle from the Mossdeep Space Center.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[AG120]]''.

 

====Tate's====

|trainer=Tate

|pkmn=Solrock

|img=Tate Solrock.png

|desc=Tate's {{p|Solrock}} is the Pokémon he uses in all Gym battles. Although it lost to Liza's Lunatone when they battled, it proved to be just as powerful in {{Ash}}'s Gym battle.

 

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[AG120]]''.  

Solrock's known moves are {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Solar Beam}}, and {{m|Psychic}}.}}

====At Mossdeep Gym====

|desc=Tate and Liza's four {{p|Baltoy}} live at the [[Mossdeep Gym]] where, when Tate and Liza want a battle, they use {{m|Confusion}} to make a battlefield with zero gravity. When {{TRT}} wanted to steal the space shuttle for the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}, the Baltoy stopped the shuttle with Confusion.

[[File:Tate and Liza Adventures.png|right|right|thumb|225px|Tate and Liza in Adventures]]

Tate and Liza debut in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. They are the guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]], having taken over the position from their grandparents. When Flannery calls the Gym Leaders together for a meeting about [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], Tate and Liza are forced to ignore the call so that they can head over to Mt. Pyre. There, they encounter Team Magma, who aims on stealing the Red and Blue Orbs so that they can be used to control {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The attackers turn out to be illusions created by [[Blaise]]. By distracting Tate and Liza with his illusions, Blaise is able to easily sneak into the chamber holding the orbs and steal them.

Tate and Liza later appear on [[Mirage Island]] with [[Juan]]. They are tasked with training {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} so that they would be ready to face Groudon and Kyogre. They train Ruby and Sapphire in various forms of Double Battle styles so that they may work together and defeat their opponents. Once the time had come for Ruby and Sapphire to head off, Tate and Liza award Sapphire the Mind Badge.

After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Tate and Liza celebrated the victory with their allies and thanked Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.

|desc={{p|Solrock}} is Tate's main Pokémon. It was first seen traveling with its Trainer on [[Mt. Pyre]], where it used its abilities to sense intruders. Solrock was used in conjunction with Lunatone against the Team Magma Grunts that were aiming to steal the Red and Blue Orbs. Despite their best efforts, the Grunts were only illusions created by Blaise, who easily got past his opponents and stole the orbs.  

Solrock's known moves are {{m|Cosmic Power}}, {{m|Calm Mind}}, and {{m|Psywave}}, and its Ability is {{a|Levitate}}.}}

|desc={{p|Lunatone}} is Liza's main Pokémon. It was first seen traveling with its Trainer on [[Mt. Pyre]]. Lunatone was used in conjunction with Solrock against the Team Magma Grunts that were aiming to steal the Red and Blue Orbs. Despite their best efforts, the Grunts were only illusions created by Blaise, who easily got past his opponents and stole the orbs.

 

Lunatone's known moves are {{m|Cosmic Power}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}, and its Ability is {{a|Levitate}}.}}

|pkmn=Spoink (×2)

|desc=Tate and Liza each own a {{p|Spoink}}. They were first used to battle {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} on [[Mirage Island]]. The two were repeatedly used to help Ruby and Sapphire training for their upcoming battle against {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Spoink's known moves are {{m|Extrasensory}} and {{m|Bounce}}.}}

* Tate and Liza are the first, and only pair of [[Gym Leader]]s that are battled through a [[Double Battle]].

* Chuang Yi's translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga mistakenly refer to Tate as a girl.

* They are the only Gym Leaders to carry two {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}s in their first battle. This is likely due to them being a duo, with each of them holding a Hyper Potion.

* The game refers to them as "<sc>Leader Tate&Liza</sc>" due to the way their Trainer class is programmed.

* In Emerald, Solrock is the only Pokémon from the original team to keep its moveset in the rematches.

* Tate is the only male Psychic-type Gym Leader.
