Ronald is met again on the [[GR Island]] when entering [[Game Center]] for first time, as Ronald appears and gives away the {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} card. Shortly after that, he may be seen again at the [[GR Grass Fort]], now belonging to Team Great Rocket as member GR-X. He then challenges the player to a 6-prize match, in which he uses a deck focusing on {{e|Grass}} Pokémon. When defeated, he reveals his identity and mission to recover the cards stolen by Team Great Rocket and gives one of both {{GB|2|Team Rocket's Ambition}} and {{GB|2|We Are Team Rocket}} booster packs.

Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!

Duelling against Ronald alias GRX

Ronald appears several times during the game. In the beginning of the game, when the player enters a club building for the first time, Ronald talks about Team Great Rocket, and uses the Card Pop! function with the player. He also appears after the player has earned two pieces of GR Coin, and if defeated, he gives the player a rare Super Energy Retrieval card.

Ronald is met again on the GR Island when entering Game Center for first time, as Ronald appears and gives away the Bill's PC card. Shortly after that, he may be seen again at the GR Grass Fort, now belonging to Team Great Rocket as member GRX. He then challenges the player to a 6-prize match, in which he uses a deck focusing on Grass Pokémon. When defeated, he reveals his identity and mission to recover the cards stolen by Team Great Rocket and gives one of both Team Rocket's Ambition and We Are Team Rocket booster packs.

When the player has defeated the Fort Leader at the GR Fire Fort or at the GR Water Fort, based on which event happens before, Ronald appears once again. If the player defeats him in a 6-prize duel, Ronald awards him with a Computer Error card.

Ronald is met again at the Team GR Castle. He has just been defeated by Biruritchi, and he wants to test the player. If the player wins the match, Ronald gives another copy of the Super Energy Retrieval.

After the defeat of Biruritchi, Ronald can be seen in Mason Laboratory. He's working on a new deck and won't duel the player. If the player takes part in the Grand Master Cup, Ronald challenges the player with his Ronald's Ultra Deck.

Pokémon Card GB The Comix

Ronald in Pokémon Card GB The Comix

Ronald appears as the main character in Pokémon Card GB The Comix, a one-shot manga based on the video game of the same name. In Pokémon Card GB The Comix, Ronald duels his rival Mark, but ultimately loses.

Pokémon

Ronald uses the following Pokémon cards in his duel against Mark:

Seel → Dewgong
Ronald's Dewgong

Dewgong is a Water-type card used by Ronald in his deck. Ronald began the duel with Seel as his Active Pokémon. On his second turn, Ronald Evolved Seel into Dewgong. As Dewgong, it Knocked Out Mark's Scyther using a combination of its Aurora Beam attack and PlusPower. Eventually, Dewgong was Knocked Out by Mark's Ivysaur.

Magmar
Ronald's Magmar

Magmar is a Fire-type card used by Ronald in his deck. Magmar was placed on the Bench on Ronald's fourth turn, and became the Active Pokémon on his fifth turn after Dewgong was Knocked Out. Magmar had the advantage over Mark's Ivysaur (and then Venusaur after it Evolved) due to the type advantage of Fire over Grass. However, it was Knocked Out by Mark's Charizard after it was swapped out from Venusaur.

Hitmonchan
Ronald's Hitmonchan

Hitmonchan is a Fighting-type card used by Ronald in his deck. On his fourth turn, Ronald placed Hitmonchan on the Bench at the same time as Magmar, but it never became the Active Pokémon.

Trivia

  • In Pokémon Trading Card Game, Ronald is the only duelist non-player character without a class (such as "Club Master" or "Club Member"). At the start of all duels against Ronald (in all language versions of this game), there is a space behind Ronald's name, which would be the space normally located between the duelist class and the character name.
  • According to the manual of the first game, Mark and Ronald are from the same neighborhood, and they used to trade Pokémon cards before Mark started his journey.
