(Japanese: スピネル Spinel) is one of the Admins of the Explorers and a recurring character in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.
History
Spinel first appeared in HZ006, in a meeting with the other Explorers Admins. Upon seeing Amethio's flaws, he started mocking him, doubting whether or not he actually saw the black Rayquaza. Amethio and Spinel's squabbles were interrupted by Hamber before Gibeon decided to give Spinel the mission to investigate the Rising Volt Tacklers.
In HZ011, an electrical interference prevented the Rising Volt Tacklers from communicating with their Rotom Phones. In the following episode, it was revealed that Spinel used his Magneton to jam their phone signals. Later, Spinel was shown spying on the Brave Asagi in order to analyze the Rising Volt Tacklers' skills as Trainers.
In HZ013, Spinel used a large amount of Magneton to create another electrical interference, preventing the Brave Asagi from updating its flight systems, leaving it stranded near Levincia.
In HZ014, Spinel had his Magneton and Beheeyem lead Friede into an ambush in Levincia, but had them retreat once Charizard Terastallized into a Dark type. Later, he lured Liko into the city with a false advertisement for a spice Murdock was looking to purchase. He cornered her in an alley and had his Beheeyem put Liko and her Sprigatito and Rotom Phone in a trance, allowing him to take her pendant without difficulty. In the following episode, Spinel was seen at his base of operations studying the pendant and tracking the movement of the Rising Volt Tacklers and Liko.
Character
Spinel is shown to be snarky and dismissive towards others, especially with Amethio, easily irritating him, which results in him becoming unprofessional around his associates. He is formal around other Explorer members, as well as, in front of his superiors. He happily obliges and obeys orders from Gibeon. Spinel is shown to be very confident on his abilities, and looks down on everyone, including his adversaries to whom he displays a condescending attitude, while keeping a seemingly unflinching sense of level-headness, rarely if ever seen losing his cool.
Spinel is shown to gather intelligence on his targets before acting, and relies on deception and subterfuge in conducting his operations. He tends to keep himself hidden and instructs his Pokémon through radio transmitters, allowing for them to easily escape with minimal risk once their tasks are finished. He also prefers to divide and entrap his targets so his ambush attacks will prove more effective. When out in public, he wears a disguise and changes his personality in order to keep his true identity a secret.
