'''Kabu''' (Japanese: '''カブ''' ''Kabu'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Motostoke]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as [[Motostoke Stadium]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Fire}} to Trainers who defeat him.
==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|Kabu's biography}}
Kabu is designated the third [[Gym Leader]] [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. However, Kabu is also known to be the first real challenge in the Gym Challenge. Often, Trainers give up due to being unable to defeat him. Kabu was originally a Trainer from [[Hoenn]] who was invited to the [[Galar League]]. He is the current Leader of the [[Motostoke Stadium|Motostoke Gym]]. He lost the Gym position at one point but regained back several years later in glorious fashion.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fire-gym-leader-kabu/</ref> He made several attempts to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} but could never reach it. He attempted a no-holds-barred approach to winning his fights but was not satisfied with the results. He even dropped to the minor division of Galar League. However, after facing off against [[Leon]], he regained faith in his potential. He also developed a more unrelentingly positive outlook on life as a result, battling to win with every intention with his {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.


'''Kabu''' (Japanese: '''カブ''' ''Kabu'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Galar]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
After Kabu's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the {{badge|Fire}}, {{TM|38|Will-O-Wisp}}, and the [[List of clothing (Sword and Shield)|Fire Uniform]].


==In the games==
===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Kabu's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"Kabu is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who was invited from the [[Hoenn]] region. There were a few times where he was very close to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, but victory always seemed to elude him at the last moment. Because of this, he adopted a no-holds-barred approach to {{pkmn|battle|battling}} for a time, but even that did not bring the results he wanted. He even dropped to the minor division at one point, but after a fantastic battle with [[Leon]], he regained faith in his own potential. His motto is to keep learning and training as long as he is alive."
;Rare League Card
:"Interview with Challenger Kabu<br>Q: How do you see your own battle style?<br>Kabu: "Just, straightforward, direct. I'm still young, so I try to keep things simple. Just burn as hot as I can, you know? Still, I've hit a bit of a losing streak, so I've tried incorporating {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} into my Pokémon's move set. That's one thing I want to tell everyone—experiment with every possibility of your Pokémon. [[Move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], [[item]]s... Try everything, and there's sure to be a path forward!"

===Main series===
[[File:Kabu anime.png|thumb|250px|Kabu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Kabu made his anime debut at the end of ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', where he was seen eating at the Motostoke [[Battle Café]]. In the [[HZ020|next episode]], he made his way to [[Motostoke Stadium]] where [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] joined him to ask about the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}. Wanting to assist the two young Trainers, he, Kabu had them undergo a {{pkmn|training}} session that helped them find new methods of using their Pokémon's most basic [[Move|attacks]] by using them to either light up or extinguish the flames of a group of {{p|Litwick}}.
After Roy had won the challenge, Kabu challenged the two to a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]], with his {{tc|Gym Trainer}} apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}} as his partner. Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} easily overwhelmed both {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, even when the latter learned {{m|Flamethrower}} mid-battle. Once Fuecoco had been defeated, Kabu left the battle against Liko to Wakaba. After Liko's unexpected surrender, Kabu told her that while being kind and compassionate is a good thing, being compassionate to this degree during a battle can be disrespectful toward both the opponent and the participating Pokémon, as both Wakaba and Sprigatito were disappointed in her not finishing the battle in earnest. When Liko and Roy later left, Kabu encouraged Liko to find her own path in life.
In ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]'', Kabu went to the [[Galar Mine]] to investigate the reports of a collapse that happened there. Upon arriving there, he found Liko, Roy, and [[Friede]], who revealed that the chaos had been caused by a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}}. When they left, Kabu realized that Friede was trying to hide {{an|Terapagos|something}}, but simply smiled and let them go.
Kabu appeared in a flashback to Liko and Roy's journey in [[HZ045]].

In ''[[TW05|Assistant]]'', Kabu was jogging at [[Wyndon Stadium]].
In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', he gave his thoughts about [[Leon]] in an interview while working out in a gym.
In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', he was seen jogging with his Centiskorch at [[Motostoke]] after receiving an invitation letter for the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]. He was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the tournament's opening ceremony.

===GOTCHA!===
Kabu briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

[[File:Kabu Adventures.png|thumb|120px|Kabu in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Kabu debuted in ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]''. He, along with various other Gym Leaders, was first seen reacting to the news that [[Leon]] had endorsed two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].


==Trivia==-->
In [[PASS10|Blazing!! Bede's Feelings]], Kabu was revealed to have faced [[Marnie]] in a Gym battle, but lost. He later faced [[Bede]], {{Henry}}, {{Casey}}, and [[Hop]] in Gym battles, which he also lost. After Hop's victory, Kabu, [[Milo]], and [[Nessa]] personally congratulated him and Casey for completing the first three Galar Gyms.
 
In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Galar Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if [[Rose]] intended on bringing harm to the region. While [[Oleana]] kept the Gym Leaders busy, Henry, Casey, Bede, Hop, and Marnie went up to meet Rose, only find he was elsewhere. 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. While some traveled to confront Rose at the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]], Kabu went back to Motostoke to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon.
 
In [[PASS29]], [[Macro Cosmos]] employees were dispatched to deal with the Dynamax Pokémon, allowing Kabu's group to provide backup for the others against {{p|Eternatus}}. By the time they arrived, Kabu's group found Eternatus had fled, leaving those who battled it unconscious and covered in poison. The injured were taken to a hospital to recover.
