'''Allister''' (Japanese: '''オニオン''' ''Onion'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Stow-on-Side]]'s Gym, known officially as [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Ghost}} to Trainers who defeat him. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]], [[Bea]] takes his place as Stow-on-Side's Gym Leader instead.

Allister is the fourth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]]. This mysterious Trainer became the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Stow-on-Side Stadium|Stow-on-Side Gym]] at a very young age. He is known to be very shy and fearful around people which is why he wears a mask. The mask serves as a way of confronting his fears and insecurities. He never removes his mask in public. He also keeps about 100 masks with the same design needed in the event his mask falls off. He is rarely seen around in public, preferring to spend most this time alone in ruins and cemeteries.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211129040922/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/ghost-type-gym-leader-allister/ Sword and Shield official website]</ref> According to Allister, he claims to have the ability to see deceased {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon after a supposed accident at the age of four.

Allister reappeared in [[JN092]], where Ash and Goh learned that he was one of Stow-on-Side's Gym Leaders, although his Gym was much smaller than the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]]. Ash came to him to ask help in [[Gigantamax]]ing his Gengar, which he agreed to. However, when it turned out Gengar could only perform a standard [[Dynamax]], Allister told Ash and Goh about [[Max Mushrooms]] and the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} that can made from them and can make a Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing. Allister accompanied Ash and Goh to the forest where Max Mushrooms grow, warning them of the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon lurking in the woods. Once they had collected a sufficient amount of Max Mushrooms, Allister started cooking them and stayed awake overnight to watch over the stew pot. During the night, Allister had a talk with Gengar, understanding its desire to become stronger and its happiness of being with Ash. The next day, Gengar ate the Max Soup and was able to Gigantamax, making Allister happy. When Ash and Goh left Stow-on-Side, Allister came to see them off, hoping they would get to meet again.

In [[JN099]], Allister watched Ash's battle against [[Marnie]] on his [[Rotom Phone]].

In [[JN106]], Allister was shown listening to {{TRT}}'s radio show alongside his {{p|Cursola}}.

Allister debuted in [[PASS13]]. Unlike the games, he and [[Bea]] alternate on who runs the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]] as its Gym Leader. He was first seen facing [[Henry Sword]] in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} at [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], but he lost. Later, Allister, {{Casey}}, [[Marvin]], and [[Professor Magnolia]] went to investigate a loud sound coming from the Stow-on-Side mural. There, they found [[Bede]] trying to destroy the mural in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain [[Wishing Star]]s. Bede ignored Allister's pleas to stop, claiming his actions were a mission from [[Rose]] himself. Before he could continue, Bede was captured by several {{tc|League Staff}} members and approached by Rose, who disqualified him from the Gym Challenge as punishment for damaging a historic landmark.

In [[PASS15]], after learning Professor Magnolia found her {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Sinistea and Polteageist|Antique Form}} {{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Polteageist}} at [[Glimwood Tangle]], Allister went into the forest hoping to find some as well. Upon arriving, he and Casey found an injured {{p|Dreepy}} whose caretaker {{p|Drakloak}} was fighting Casey's missing {{p|Toxtricity}}, Tera. With quick thinking, Casey helped Tera win the battle, allowing her to retrieve her Pokémon. Allister then decided to catch the Dreepy and Drakloak for himself.

In [[PASS25]], the Galar Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to the region. Shortly after arriving, they were stopped by [[Oleana]]. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Henry, Casey, Bede, [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] headed up an elevator to meet Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose announced his intention to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Allister traveled to the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]] with the others, but decided to head back to Stow-on-Side with Bea to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon.
