|vaen=Unshō Ishizuka

|desc=The first Pokémon used by Crasher Wake during the Gym battle against {{Ash}} was his {{p|Gyarados}} which went up against {{AP|Pikachu}}. Gyarados showed its strength by standing up to {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but was defeated when Pikachu combined the speed it picked up by falling alongside a {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Gyarados's known moves are {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Bite}}.}}

|desc=Crasher Wake used {{p|Quagsire}} as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against Ash, and it proved itself to be very tricky, able to counteract {{AP|Turtwig}}'s high speed with its excellent hearing and as Quagsire had attacks perfectly suited to battle {{type|Grass}}s, Ash was forced to recall it.

Quagsire's known moves are {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He also knows a variety of different and powerful moves. Crasher Wake claimed that {{p|Floatzel}} is powerful enough to endure even a {{m|Giga Impact}} by using his flotation sac. At one point he used his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's {{m|Water Pulse}} back at him, confusing him. Later in the battle he used Ice Fang to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a Water Pulse attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.

Floatzel's known moves are {{m|Razor Wind}}, {{m|Bulk Up}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Ice Fang}}.}}

|epname=A Skuffle with Skorupi

|desc={{p|Floatzel}} was the first Pokémon sent against Platinum. Since his opponent was {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}}, a {{type|Water}}, he proposed, and Platinum agreed, that the battle take place in the pool. After the initial part was just a struggle, with hits and bites from both parts, they then jumped into the water to demonstrate their speed underwater. Following an extremely fast chase, Empoleon was able to hit Floatzel with her {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, sending him flying away, knocking him out.

Floatzel's known moves are {{m|Aqua Jet}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, and his Ability is {{a|Swift Swim}}.}}

|epname=A Skuffle with Skorupi

|desc={{p|Quagsire}} was the second and last Pokémon chosen by Wake. Upon being released, he delivered a powerful {{m|Blizzard}} to Empoleon, to which the Emperor Pokémon responded with the same attack. The cluster of both snowstorms eventually caused Empoleon to hold back and faint. Then she sent {{adv|Diamond}}'s [[Tru]]. After what looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed his skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite his height and weight) and threw him to the water. However, what he didn't notice (and was ready knock Torterra with a Blizzard) was that Platinum had her [[Great Marsh]] overalls attached to Tru's spikes, and therefore was thrown too. Upon noticing it, Wake send his {{tc|Sailor}}s to rescue her, but just the overalls was underwater. With this, the Water Fish Pokémon didn't shoot the Blizzard and was finished off with a {{m|Giga Drain}}.

Quagsire's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, and his Ability is {{a|Damp}}.}}
