===Quotes===

{{main|Gordie/Quotes}}

Gordie debuted in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}. 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.  

Later, 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 developed a fever from waiting in the cold too long and passed out.
