Tomio (Japanese: トミオ Tomio) is a character in Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All and a rival of Shū. Notably, he uses Poké Balls modified into yo-yos to capture Pokémon. He challenged Shū to a Pokémon capturing contest and won. However, after Shū befriends a herd of Nidoran, Tomio mistakes them for Shū's and decides to switch back to regular Poké Balls.

History

Tomio first appeared in Pokémon Get Match!! where he catches a Venomoth that Shū weakened using a Poké Ball attached to a string. This made Shū furious and demands to know who interrupted him. Tomio shows himself and explains to him that Shū could not capture the Venomoth. However, he ends up releasing the Venomoth as it was a Practice Zone for catching Pokémon. Shū ends up challenging him to a Pokémon catching contest where if he wins, he will receive Tomio's custom ball. By sundown, Tomio ends up having twenty Pokémon caught as opposed to Shū ending up with nineteen. However, a Nidoran♂ that Shū encountered before shows up along with his relatives which makes Shū the winner. Even though Shū won, he does not accept the prize that they promised in the beginning.

Personality and characteristics

Tomio is considered to be more of an advanced Trainer than Shū since he had no trouble in controlling his aim on throwing a Poké Ball at the Pokémon, something that Shū was constantly having trouble with.
