|desc={{p|Spinarak}} is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against {{Ash}}, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled against {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and almost won with its {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Poison Sting}} attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}} instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, enabling it to {{m|Tackle}} Spinarak and win the round.

|desc=Bugsy's second choice for his battle with Ash was {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used {{m|Harden}} several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and {{m|Tackle}} Chikorita. Ash decided to use {{AP|Pikachu}}, and after dodging many more attacks, Pikachu managed to attack Metapod with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and win.

|desc=The final and strongest of Bugsy's Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}. It first battled [[Ash's Pikachu]], which it easily defeated with a powerful combination of {{m|Slash}} and {{m|Fury Cutter}} attacks after dodging Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Double Team}}.

Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against {{type|Fire}}s by using {{m|Swords Dance}} to counter fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] by deflecting all of its fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy though, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above Scyther and used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and was knocked out of the battle, allowing Ash to earn the Hive Badge.

|pkmn=Caterpie

|desc=Bugsy has multiple {{p|Caterpie}} that live in the [[Azalea Gym]]; it is unknown if he uses them in Gym battles. One first appeared when it came down from the trees to greet {{an|Misty}}, who has a bug phobia. They later appear when {{TRT}} enter the Gym: the Bug Pokémon tie them up with silk. Their latest appearance also involved Team Rocket's infiltration and capture, this time at night.

 

 

|nick=Metapod (multiple)

|desc=Bugsy has multiple {{p|Metapod}} that live in the [[Azalea Gym]]; it is unknown if he uses them in Gym battles or just uses his stronger Metapod. They briefly appear when {{TRT}} enter the building, Metapod and the other Bug Pokémon tie them up with silk. Their latest appearance also involved Team Rocket's infiltration and capture, this time at night.

Metapod's only known move is {{m|String Shot}}.}}

|pkmn=Weedle and Kakuna

|nick=Weedle and Kakuna (multiple)

|desc=Bugsy has multiple {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Kakuna}} that live in the Azalea Gym; it is unknown if he uses them in Gym battles. Multiple Weedle appear briefly when Team Rocket enter the building, tying them up with silk. Their latest appearance also involved Team Rocket's infiltration and capture, this time at night.

Weedle and Kakuna's only known move is {{m|String Shot}}.}}

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Bugsy, along with Chuck and Falkner, is asked by Morty to guard the [[Ecruteak Gym]] from suspicious people asking to use Morty's clairvoyance. When {{adv|Silver}} arrives to see Morty under [[Eusine]]'s recommendation, the Gym Leaders mistake him for another suspicious person and stop his attempts to advance. Having no time to talk, Silver opts to battle the Gym Leaders and force his way inside. Silver's clash ends when he is revealed to be a friend of Chuck's former student, {{adv|Blue}}. They decide to trust Silver and let him inside to meet with Morty, who had been helping Gold due to mistaking him for Silver. The meeting is cut short by the sudden appearance of {{p|Arceus}}, who lands in front of the Ecruteak Gym and destroys it with a single blast. Falkner, Bugsy, and Chuck are caught in the blast and knocked unconscious.

During the chaos, Gold finds Bugsy on the ground and picks him up while chasing after Arceus. Gold gives Bugsy a drawing from Morty about the whereabouts of [[Lance]], who he is currently searching for. Bugsy immediately deciphers the drawing as being the Ruins of Alph, which Arceus is also heading towards. After arriving and meeting Lance, Bugsy stays behind while Gold faces Arceus alone. Lance talks to Bugsy about the origins about the [[Pokéathlon]] and how a {{p|Celebi|Pokémon}} saved a region after a Trainer cleared many obstacles with their Pokémon to meet with it. Lance reveals that he wanted Gold to compete in the Pokéathlon as a way to recreate the legend as a way to try and get close to Arceus. Bugsy expresses more interest in the Pokémon that saved the region. Bugsy is then left alone when Lance goes off to get help.

Kakuna's only known move is {{m|Harden}}, and their Ability is {{a|Shed Skin}}.}}

Heracross's known moves are {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Endure}}, and {{m|Take Down}}.}}

Bugsy first appears in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal]]'' when {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was watching a basketball game from above. He invites Gold to take part in it as the game celebrates the Ruins of Alph's anniversary. When Gold agreed to take part, Bugsy formed a team with him and allowed Gold to take the prize if they won. They go up against a {{tc|Firebreather}} named Takeo. Despite his team having a type-advantage against Bugsy's, Bugsy and Gold were able to defeat him and win the prize (with Gold actually keeping it). During their time in the Ruins of Alph, they hear over the intercom that an incident happened in the Union Cave and Bugsy tells Gold to come with him. They find out that {{OBP|Black|Golden Boys}} is also in the cave, who wants to capture the {{p|Lapras}} in there, no matter what it takes. After the events in the Union Cave, Bugsy reveals to Gold that he is the Leader of the Azalea Gym. Then, he challenges Gold using his {{p|Scyther}} while Gold sent out the Pokémon that Black released while in the Union Cave, a {{p|Bayleef}}. Despite the type-advantage, Scyther lost and Gold was awarded the {{Badge|Hive}}. Bugsy reunites with Gold in ''[[GB11|Gold And Black VS. Team Rocket]]'' where he and [[Whitney]] were at the Tin Tower.

|desc={{p|Butterfree}} appears to be Bugsy's main Pokémon. It was first seen as a {{p|Metapod}} in ''[[GB04|Let's Aim For The Goal]]''. Metapod participated in the basketball tournament that celebrated the anniversary of the Ruins of Alph along with Kakuna. Sometime before ''[[GB11|Gold And Black VS. Team Rocket]]'', it evolved into a Butterfree where Gold's {{p|Croconaw}} took an interest in it.

Butterfree's only known move is {{m|String Shot}}.}}

|img=Bugsy Metapod Kakuna String Shot Golden Boys.png

|desc=When Gold and Bugsy were having their Gym battle, Bugsy sent out {{p|Scyther}} while Gold sent out {{p|Bayleef}}. Despite Scyther having the type-advantage and Bayleef trying to get over being abandoned from its previous Trainer, Scyther ended up being defeated.

* The first frame of Bugsy's HeartGold and SoulSilver sprite's animation is almost identical to [[Sidney]]'s sprite in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
