'''Damion''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is one of the two [[rival]] characters in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], along with either [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]] or [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]].

The character [[Pearl (Special)|Pearl]] from the [[Pokémon Special |Pokémon Special]] manga is based off of Damion.

This listing is for Damion's [[Pokémon]] in the video games in which he has appeared.

=Optional names for Damion=

* The song that plays when battling against Damion is a remix of the "Neo Tokyo" theme from [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman]]

* Strangely, among the default names for him in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Diamond]] is Shigeru, one of the names that are default in both [[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed]] for [[Blue (game)|Blue]]. Another point of similarity can perhaps be found in the fact that a relative of theirs is well-known in the Pokémon world, being [[Palmer|the leader]] of [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)|Sinnoh's Battle Tower]] in Damion's case, and being [[Professor Oak|a]] [[Pokémon professor]] in the case of Blue. Furthermore, both rivals are childhood acquaintances of the [[playable character|playable characters]] who go on to compete against them in collecting [[Gym]] badges, unlike [[Silver (game)|Silver]] and [[Wally]]. Finally, Damion uses the {{p|Starly|Starly}} line, while Blue uses the {{p|Pidgey|Pidgey}} line; they both use {{p|Heracross|Heracross}} at some point in their respective games.
