==In the games==

Lear is an arrogant {{pkmn|Trainer}} who believes himself to be the strongest and is adamant he will win the PML. He insults others who believe that the bond between Trainer and Pokémon is the key to battling, and treats his Pokémon as tools for winning. This is evident when Lear replaces his {{p|Krookodile}} with {{p|Staraptor}} after the battle between Lear's Krookodile and {{mas|Iris}}'s {{p|Haxorus}} ends in a draw. His lack of bond with his Pokémon also means he cannot use [[sync move]]s, as the [[sync stone]] relies on the power found in the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. Lear also believes that teamwork or friendship is a weakness as it means one has to rely on another. He prefers to handle things himself and does not even consider his subordinates as friends despite their unending support. He also considers victory as the only purpose of battling and that other aspects, such as having fun, are worthless.

The {{player}} first meets Lear at the end of Chapter 2; he insults the player for wearing a shoddy hat. They next meet Lear in Chapter 5 who defeats {{mas|Skyla}} and earns a {{badge|Freedom}}. After learning that the player will join the PML, Lear has a one-on-one battle with the player and wins.

In Interlude 7, Lear remembers more of his past, and begins to realize the error of his ways. As Team Break demands Lear to announce the cancellation of the PML, Lear almost gives in, only for Hoopa to teleport him into safety. He is reunited with Sawyer, Rachel, and Cheren, and they formulate a plan to save Hoopa. Re-entering Team Break's hideout, Lear joins with Rachel and Sawyer to battle the team as a distraction while Cheren has his {{p|Stoutland}} get Hoopa away from them. As Lear expresses his re-established belief in friendship, his sync stone begins to glow, signifying that he's now formed a sync pair with Hoopa. As Lear and his team defeat the Team Break members opposing them, Cynthia arrives to tell everyone that the other members in the hideout have been defeated as well, causing the members present to surrender. Lear later learns that his PML partners succeeded in winning their latest battle without him, and their next opponent in the tournament is the player.

==Hoopa (Hoopa Confined)==

Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 00020, which allows "Battle! (Lear)" to be played in the {{mas|Jukebox}}.
