[[File:Mayley.png|200px|thumb|Harley crossdressing as {{an|May}}]]
Harley has a rather peculiar personality. He is undeniably flamboyant, wearing an outfit similar in appearance to {{p|Cacturne}}. He has very effeminate mannerisms, which include wiggling his hips as he walks and using アタシ ''atashi'', the Japanese feminine version of ''I''. He also has a tendency to use select English words intermixed with his normal Japanese speech; for example, he calls {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} and {{p|Banette}} ''my buddies'' or darling, sweeties, and honey and tells {{an|May}} ''good morning''. In the Latin-American dub, this is replaced by using Latin-American slang and allusions to local urban culture; for example, he sings a song by the Mexican showman Juan Gabriel in the Grand Festival, as his {{p|Octillery}} dances in the flames. He talks with a high voice, another sign of effeminacy.  Another example of his feminine side is in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' where Harley cross-dresses as May, calling himself "Mayley" (Japanese: ハリカ ''Harleyka''), much to May's embarrassment and [[Solidad]]'s amusement. He is apparently old friends with Solidad, as she said so herself.

Harley is a conniving character with little to no regard for anybody but himself and his [[Pokémon]]. He tends to get personal vendettas against people for the smallest of reasons. His vendetta against May began when she said she had never heard of Cacturne before and that his cookies were "not half bad", but the real reason he started to dislike her was because she looks just like a classmate who stole his last snack when he was a small child. He keeps photos of people that he has grudges against in a notebook. He also tends to inflict humiliation to try to get the better of an opponent, showing sadistic pleasure when he does. This is evident when he pretended to be friends with [[Max]] in order to get him to tell an embarrassing story about May only to record it and play it during a Contest. Finally as evidenced by his contest performances, Harley shows no qualms in using dirty tactics to win.
