|- | |desc={{p|Delibird}} is the Masked Man's most used Pokémon, typically assisting his ice-controlling abilities with its flight ability. It is so well-trained that, even with a type disadvantage, it was used for and succeeded in capturing the powerful, legendary {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, with quick thinking on Gold's part, it was taken down by [[Polibo]]'s {{m|Perish Song}}. Although it is very likely that it is the same Pokémon kept in Pryce's gym, the issue was never expounded upon. | ||

|desc={{p|Houndour}} is another one of the Masked Man's battlers. It first debuted in a round named after its species, and casually overwhelmed Gold's [[Exbo]] and its entire team with alacrity, as did its fellow team members. It is later seen again on the Masked Man's team in both the battles at the [[Lake of Rage]], as well as in the Rocket Hideout situated in [[Mahogany Town]] when [[Lt. Surge]] infiltrated the base. There, it displayed the ability to use its {{m|howl}} to call upon many wild Houndour for assistance when needed. | |||
Its known moves are {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and the aforementioned Howl.}} | |||

|desc={{p|Ariados}} is another one of the Masked Man's team members, typically used for battles that require its {{m|String Shot}}. Although it is kept on his main team, it hardly saw any action after Gold's first meeting with the villain, instead being shown once with Houndour in a group attack and deftly defeated by [[Aibo]]'s {{m|Double Team}} maneuver. | |||
Besides String Shot, Ariados also knows {{m|Spider Web}}, the signature move of its evolutionary line.}} | |||

|desc={{p|Gastly}} is technically the first member of the Masked Man's team to be seen on-screen, doing so when it unmasked itself and showed that it had possessed a trainer and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Because it is not as powerful as some of the other Pokémon that he trains, it uses its ghostly possession abilities to do its dirty work, and, when possible, uses surprise attacks while hiding in its trainer's ragged clothing. | |||
Its known moves are {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Curse}}.}} | |||

|desc=Although the appearance of this Pokémon was alluded to as early as flashbacks in the {{chap|Red, Green, & Blue}}, where it was described as being a huge bird Pokémon that kidnapped {{adv|Green}}, it wasn't until midway into the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal|GSC arc}} that it made its first true appearance. There, it clashed with its former master, who had earlier had a team of [[Grunt]]s demolish the [[Tin Tower]] and most of [[Ecruteak City]] to draw it out. Soon enough, its battle with "him" was shown to Gold and {{adv|Crystal}}, confounding them as the Masked Man's identity was narrowed down to those among the 16 Gym Leaders in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. Eventually, it was caught by the [[PokéGear]]-controlled dummy that was set up by Pryce, and rampaged in the [[Indigo Plateau]] alongside Lugia. Soon, after its [[Rainbow Wing]] had been extracted, both the legendary Pokémon were lent to [[Karen]] and [[Will]], and fought against Green's [[legendary birds]], and was eventually brought back to its senses. As it has yet to be shown upon it regaining freedom, it is not known where it and {{p|Lugia}} ended up settling in. | |||
Its known moves are {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}}.}} | |||

|epnum=PS146 | |||
|epname=Lugia (Part I) | |||
|desc={{p|Lugia}}'s first appearance dates back to the end of the {{chap|Yellow}}, where it was summoned by [[Lance]] to complete his plans of creating a utopia for Pokémon where humans that abuse Pokémon or destroy their habitats would be no more. Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. It was in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it made its proper debut, first identified as a Lugia for the first time. Although the resusciated Gold, Silver, and Crystal stood little chance against its might at first, their [[Exbo|starters]] [[Silver's Feraligatr|all]] [[Mega|evolved]] and helped deliver a critical blow by aiming straight for its forehead to maximize its [[catch rate]]. A bright flash of light soon followed, after which it seemed to have been trapped in the ball Crystal had kicked, the three young [[Pokédex Holder]]s were shocked to find that it was empty, and were led to assume that it ran. In reality, however, the Masked Man was behind the attack which caused its rampage all along, and was revealed to have caught it himself as he appeared at the Indigo Plateau and led an attack on the league alongside Ho-Oh, which he also had recaught. Eventually, after much turmoil, Lugia was freed and flied off with its fellow bird. | |||
Its known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Aeroblast}}.}} | |||

|epname=The Last Battle XIV | |||
|desc=This {{p|Celebi}} was the object of the Masked Man's longing, and, the only Pokémon he could never manage to capture on his own. His dedication to acquire it for his plans (later revealed to have been for the sake of reuniting his {{p|Lapras}} with its deceased parents) was so strong that he would visit the shrine in the [[Ilex Forest]] to attempt to catch it, not being aware of the existence of the [[GS Ball]]'s purpose or existence at the time. Nine years prior to the events of the series, he was in one of the weakened periods where he lay comatose from the wounds he received, and this allowed Green and Silver to make their escape. 12 years later, he would finally complete the GS Ball using the Rainbow and [[Silver Wing]]s he plucked from Ho-Oh and Lugia, and succeeds in capturing this ever-so-elusive legendary. However, though his Lapras, Glacier, succeeded in traveling to the past to meet its parents, the GS Ball was destroyed by {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Pichu}}, and he ended up stuck in the voids of time, where Celebi sends past memories of the song his old chums had wrote for him when his two Lapras died. It is worth noting that before {{adv|Ruby}} moved to [[Hoenn]], he had also acquired a Celebi that he rarely used, but it has never been confirmed whether the two are one and the same.}} | |||
