Larry is a serious, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who has assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image. In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced, and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request.
