In the anime
Charles debuted in The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!. He assumes an alter-ego known as The Mighty Accelguard (Japanese: 快傑ア☆ギルダー Kaiketsu A☆Gilder) to fight crime alongside his Accelgor.
With the help of Ash, Cilan, Iris, and Linda, they managed to defeat the evil Dr. Ferrara/Cryogonal Man and his henchmen.
Charles reappeared briefly in Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1 with Accelgor. He gave a tour of the Driftveil Market to Ash and his friends. He also told them that the market received its Revival Herbs from Milos Island.

Accelgor is Charles's partner when he is in his civilian identity, but when he transforms into The Mighty Accelguard, he becomes his trusted sidekick. Like all of its species, Accelgor is quick and swift and uses this to its advantage when fighting crime, despite Charles's usual clumsiness. During Cryogonal Man's attempt to rob the Cold Storage, Accelgor showed off its abilities and was able to defeat Cryogonal Man's powerful Vanillish in battle.
Accelgor's known moves are Agility, Double Team, Struggle Bug, and Swift.

Trivia
- Charles's alter-ego Kaiketsu A☆Gilder most likely draws inspiration from Kaiketsu Zubat, with certain other aspects, like his A☆Gilder Kick attack, from the titular characters of the Kamen Rider series.
- Unlike most bike-riding characters in Pokémon Black and White, Charles does not speed up when the player holds down the B button.
