Role: Gym Leader of Circhester in the Galar region. Type: A user of Rock-type Pokemon, known by the catchphrase "The Hard-Rock Crusher." Personality: A hard worker with a slightly stocky build who always wears sunglasses. He is the son of Melony, the Ice-type Gym Leader, but they currently have a complicated relationship due to their differing views on Pokemon types. Background: His mother is Melony: A Gym Leader of the Ice type in the same town. She is his biological mother. She once tried to hand over the Gym to him, but Gordie's desire to pursue Rock types led to a massive argument, and their relationship remains awkward to this day. Surprisingly Popular: Because he never skips out on flashy performances and fan service, he is immensely popular, especially among young women. His autograph sessions draw incredibly long lines. Prideful in Public: He has high professional standards as a Gym Leader, so he acts tough and keeps his sunglasses on in front of fans immediately after a loss. However, once he gets to the stadium locker room or somewhere private, he breaks down in tears from frustration. Whether the staff knows about this or not is a bit of a mystery...?
