'''Tad''' (Japanese: '''ヒデ''' ''Hide'') is a [[character of the day]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] who appeared in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
'''Tad''' (Japanese: '''ヒデ''' ''Hide'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} were riding on {{AP|Lapras}} when they met Tad. He almost ran them over with his boat, causing {{an|Misty}} to yell at him. Tad explained that he wanted to challenge Ash to a two-on-two battle, and Ash accepted.


Tad sent out his {{p|Poliwrath}}, and managed to defeat both [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}}, because Charizard refused to listen to Ash. Tad then told Ash that he would accept a rematch with him when he learned how to train his Charizard.
Prior to ''Charizard Chills'', Tad had competed against [[Trovita Island]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Rudy]] and won his hometown's most powerful Pokémon competition. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Tad after he almost ran them over with his boat, causing {{an|Misty}} to yell at him. Tad apologized and instantly recognized Ash, following Rudy's comments on his strength. At Tad's request, he and Ash competed in a two-on-two battle. Tad sent out his {{p|Poliwrath}}, and managed to defeat both [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}}, the latter instance being only because Charizard refused to listen to Ash. He then told Ash that he would accept a [[rematch]] with him when he learned how to train his Charizard.


The next day, Pikachu was stolen by [[Team Rocket]]. With Charizard now trusting him after the lengths he had gone to while trying to help him, Ash successfully rescued Pikachu. Tad, seeing what happened, asked Ash if he was ready for the rematch. Ash accepted, and was able to defeat Tad's Poliwrath with Charizard, thanks to Charizard using its ability to fly to knock Poliwrath off its feet and subsequently using its trademark {{m|Seismic Toss}} attack.
The next day, Pikachu was captured by {{TRT}}. With Charizard now trusting him after the lengths he had gone to while trying to help him, Ash successfully rescued Pikachu. Tad, seeing what had happened, asked Ash if he was ready for the rematch. Ash accepted, and was able to defeat Poliwrath with Charizard, who knocked Poliwrath off its feet and subsequently used {{m|Seismic Toss}} on it.


Tad told Ash that he hoped to meet him in the [[Orange League]], but he hasn't been seen since his only appearance.
He made a cameo appearance in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

*Tad also has at least one other Pokémon, as he had intended to use a total of two Pokémon against Ash. However, as Poliwrath had defeated both Pikachu and Charizard, this second Pokémon was never seen.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Tad has a striking resemblance to [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Also, both of their dub names begin with a ''T'' and both wear headbands.
* Tad's English name is a reference to his Pokémon, Poliwrath, who is referred to by the Pokédex as a "''''Tad'''pole Pokémon."
** In a scene of [[EP105|the episode Tad appears in]], Tracey's headband is colored green like Tad's, though his is usually pink.
* Tad has a [[Anime character recycling|striking resemblance]] to [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Also, both of their dub names begin with a ''T'' and both wear headbands.
* Tad mentions that he hopes to compete against Ash in the [[Orange League]], but it was later shown that the Orange League does not involve a {{DL|Pokémon League|championship competition}} like the [[Indigo League]]. This may be a dub error.

*Tad's English name is a reference to his Pokémon, Poliwrath, who is referred to by the Pokédex as a "''''Tad'''pole Pokémon."
* The belt that Tad's Poliwrath is wearing greatly resembles to the [[P1 Grand Prix]]'s belt that [[Ash's Primeape]] wears at the end of ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. It is very possible that Tad is born, or lives in the city where the P1 Grand Prix takes place, as he mentions it himself.
* Tad mentions that he hopes to compete against Ash in the Orange League, but it was later shown that the Orange League does not involve a [[Pokémon League Conference]]. In the Japanese version, he merely wishes they both work hard in Orange League.
