Paul's only concern in his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a tendency of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they do not meet his expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and {{pkmn|training|trains}} the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that [[friendship|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, especially {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}. He has also demonstrated similar behavior to {{p|Azumarill}}, {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} and {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}.

Paul can be very callous and even brutal, especially in battle. As a result, he has been shown to display very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile when dealing with Ash. He has also been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism, as seen in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' when he and Chimchar were able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near [[Bewilder Forest]] by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. His catchphrase when calling out Pokémon is "<Pokémon>, standby for battle!".

|desc=Paul caught {{p|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' after hearing of its reputation as a powerful Pokémon, causing a lot of trouble along with its pack of Gligar. While easily standing up against {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and Weavile, it was finally caught by Paul, while Ash was trying to talk with it.

Gliscor made a brief appearance in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' along with Paul's other Pokémon outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] while the [[Team Rocket trio]] took care of [[Paul's Torterra]]. Gliscor was not seen again after this.

|desc=Paul caught {{p|Azumarill}} for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', attempting to use the [[Damage modification|type advantage]] over the {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon, deflecting Hydro Pump with {{m|Hidden Power}} and knocking it out with {{m|Rollout}}.

Unsatisfied with its loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', claiming it had no potential to improve and there was no point wasting his time on it. This infuriated Ash, pushing their rivalry even further.
