Oscar and Andi

For the character who appeared in Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening, see Oscar.
For the 4Kids voice actress, see Andi Whaley.

Oscar (Japanese: オスカー Oscar) and Andi (Japanese: アンドリュー Andrew) are a young couple from Hoenn who are deeply in love with each other. They are characters of the day who appeared in The Bicker the Better. They may have been based on the Young Couple Trainer class, though they are dressed much more formally than the game class.

Oscar and Andi

Oscar and Andi love taking part in Tag Battles with their Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They also claim to have a knack for spotting couples in love. When they spotted Ash and May arguing, they claimed that each had romantic feelings for the other. Ash and May's persistent arguing at the time, combined with this accusation, diminished their concentration, and the enamored couple were able to defeat them without a problem. Similarly, they saw Jessie and James, and claimed that they too were a couple. Even though Team Rocket was able to look past this, they were still defeated.
