Trivia

Origin

Noland's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Emerald. Despite Noland being capable of using a multitude of different rental Pokémon in the core series, Pinsir is not among the Pokémon he can use. He does, however, own a Pinsir in the anime. Pinsir's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Moon.
