==In the core series games==
Gordie is the sixth Gym Leader [[Galar]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] in Pokémon Sword. He is believed to have received his education from his mother, [[Melony]], who was the Gym Leader of [[Circhester]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/rock-type-gym-leader-gordie/</ref> However, instead of becoming an {{type|Ice}} user like Melony did, he chose to use the {{t|Rock}} type due to him admiring that type more and wanting to find his own path to greatness. This resulted in the two falling out after a heated battle, which led to them almost never seeing each other since. There are few {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s in his Gym due to his strict training style.


==In the games==
As a rising star, many believed he has the potential of becoming the [[Galar League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Gordie uses {{type|Rock}} Pokémon to achieve victory through a refined and graceful battle style, despite the type's rough and unrelenting reputation. He is considered one of the strongest Galar Trainers in terms of popularity and skills. He has a tendency to shut himself away in a locker room when he loses, making it hard to get an interview from him. Most of his fans find this trait to be endearing regardless. He has quite a large fanbase, and he tries his best to make his fans happy by either giving out autographs or hosting events. Currently, there are three photo albums on Gordie that were created by his fanbase.

* During [[Gym]] mission
Gordie forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Coalossal}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Coalossal is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. Gordie became a playable sync pair on October 3, 2022.

:''"Failure opens your eyes to things you couldn't see before."''

* If found on [[Challenge Road]]
:''"Quite the view up here, isn't it? Look how far you can see! Too bad you can't make out [[Circhester]], but that's to be expected, I guess."''
* If found in [[Courageous Cavern]]
:''"Coalossal seems to perk up a bit when we head into a cave. I suppose it must feel like being back home in [[Galar Mine]]."''
* If found on [[Challenge Beach]] or [[Training Lowlands]]
:''"Coalossal may be weak to {{t|Water}}, but its [[Ability]] makes it grow much speedier when it gets wet!"''
* If found in [[Potbottom Desert]]
:''"Watch out — there's a chance Coalossal might tip over! It's about three times my weight, so be careful!"''
*During [[harsh sunlight]] or clear skies
:''"Daytime here on the Isle of Armor's hot enough to get me all sweaty. Not like Circhester, where I'm grateful for every bit of heat Coalossal gives off."''
*During overcast conditions
:''"What a thick blanket of clouds! Seems like we're in for some showers. And no, it's not smoke from Coalossal."''
*During [[rain]] or thunderstorms
:''"I slipped in the mud and nearly fell... But I managed to turn that into a backward somersault and land safely!"''

:''"Being able to walk around in sandstorms like this unbothered is one of the greatest things about wearing sunglasses!"''
*During [[Fog|foggy conditions]]

::'''Partnering with Gordie'''
*In the locker room before the first round
:''"You may be the Champion and all, but I don't plan to sit back and let that decide this match. I'm going to show everyone the brilliance of the Rock-type--in that sense, I'll even beat you."''
*In the locker room before the second round
:''"What did you think of our graceful Water-type moves? I've worked to refine them to their purest form. I'll be firing them off from beside you in the next match, too."''
*In the locker room before the last round
:''"When you and I team up together, there's no way we can do anything but win. So once you're ready, let's go and do just that."''
*On the field before the first round battle
:''"Don't worry-If things get too dicey, I'll back you up."''
*On the field before the second round battle
:''"Whew! Doing a backflip takes quite a bit of focus, you know."''
*On the field before the last round battle
:''"Just battle like you always do. Victory will come naturally!"''
*Winning the Tournament
:''"I enjoyed that tournament quite a bit. The way that you battled, <player>... That's what makes you worthy to be my partner."''

[[File:Gordie Adventures.png|thumb|130px|Gordie in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Gordie debuted in ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]''. Unlike in the games, he and [[Melony]] share the [[Circhester Stadium]] and alternate who acts as its Gym Leader. He was first seen at Circhester Stadium, where he took over Gym Leader duties after a {{tc|League Staff}} member informed him that Melony had left the building.
 
In ''[[PASS19|Crunch!! Snowy Battle]]'', Gordie met [[Henry Sword]] and [[Marvin]] on {{rt|8|Galar}}. He challenged Henry to a battle, but due to the latter being busy with work, he had Marvin face Gordie in his place. Their battle was interrupted by {{Casey}}, who attacked Gordie after mistaking him for a suspicious person. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Gordie passed out from a fever he developed from waiting in the cold for too long. After recovering, Gordie went back to his Gym Leader duties and faced [[Marnie]] in a Gym battle, which he lost.
 
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]], Gordie went back to Circhester to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon.
 
In [[PASS29]], [[Macro Cosmos]] employees were dispatched to deal with the Dynamax Pokémon, allowing Gordie's group to provide backup for the others against {{p|Eternatus}}. By the time they arrived, Gordie'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.

Gordie (Japanese: マクワ Makuwa) is the Gym Leader of Circhester's Gym, known officially as Circhester Stadium. He specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. He gives the Rock Badge to Trainers who defeat him. In Pokémon Shield, his mother, Melony, takes his place as Circhester's Gym Leader instead.

In the core series games

Gordie is the sixth Gym Leader Galar Trainers face in their Gym Challenge in Pokémon Sword. He is believed to have received his education from his mother, Melony, who was the Gym Leader of Circhester.[3] However, instead of becoming an Ice-type user like Melony did, he chose to use the Rock type due to him admiring that type more and wanting to find his own path to greatness. This resulted in the two falling out after a heated battle, which led to them almost never seeing each other since. There are few Gym Trainers in his Gym due to his strict training style.

As a rising star, many believed he has the potential of becoming the Galar League Champion. Gordie uses Rock-type Pokémon to achieve victory through a refined and graceful battle style, despite the type's rough and unrelenting reputation. He is considered one of the strongest Galar Trainers in terms of popularity and skills. He has a tendency to shut himself away in a locker room when he loses, making it hard to get an interview from him. Most of his fans find this trait to be endearing regardless. He has quite a large fanbase, and he tries his best to make his fans happy by either giving out autographs or hosting events. Currently, there are three photo albums on Gordie that were created by his fanbase.

After Gordie's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the Rock Badge, TM48 (Rock Tomb), and the Rock Uniform.

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Gordie's League Cards in Pokémon Sword.

Normal League Card
"Gordie is a young rising star that many suspect will be the Champion someday. Though Rock-type Pokémon are typically known for being rough and unrelenting, Gordie has worked hard to achieve victory through a refined and graceful battle style. He always tries to keep his fans happy and thus is very popular among the audience. On the other hand, he has the surprising tendency of shutting himself away in the locker room when he is defeated, making postdefeat interviews a rarity. This doesn't bother most of his fans, though, and they see this behavior as endearing."
Rare League Card
"Gordie is one of the top Trainers of the Galar region, both in terms of popularity and skill. His strict training style means that his Gym has few Gym Trainers, but he does have quite a fan base. Gordie does his best to make sure his fans are happy, often seen giving out autographs or hosting events. There are currently three photo albums of Gordie, all published through the support of his fan base. This card shows another special photo, taken specifically for this purpose at a photo studio."

Gordie in Pokémon Adventures

Gordie debuted in Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest. Unlike in the games, he and Melony share the Circhester Stadium and alternate who acts as its Gym Leader. He was first seen at Circhester Stadium, where he took over Gym Leader duties after a League Staff member informed him that Melony had left the building.

In Crunch!! Snowy Battle, Gordie met Henry Sword and Marvin on Route 8. He challenged Henry to a battle, but due to the latter being busy with work, he had Marvin face Gordie in his place. Their battle was interrupted by Casey, who attacked Gordie after mistaking him for a suspicious person. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Gordie passed out from a fever he developed from waiting in the cold for too long. After recovering, Gordie went back to his Gym Leader duties and faced Marnie in a Gym battle, which he lost.

In 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 Dynamaxing at random. While some traveled to confront Rose at the Hammerlocke Energy Plant, Gordie went back to Circhester to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon.

In PASS29, Macro Cosmos employees were dispatched to deal with the Dynamax Pokémon, allowing Gordie's group to provide backup for the others against Eternatus. By the time they arrived, Gordie'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.
