Trivia

  • Chuck was the last Johto Gym Leader to become playable in Pokémon Masters EX, over three years after the second-to-last Johto Gym Leader, Falkner, was added to the game.
    • His addition to the roster of playable characters made Johto the third region to have all its Gym Leaders playable in the game, behind Kanto and Kalos.
  • All versions of Chuck use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Bruno, Brawly, Marshal, and Hala.

Origin

Chuck's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Poliwrath is Chuck's signature Pokémon in the core series games. Poliwrath's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
