Pokémon Poacher Brothers

The Pokémon Poacher Brothers (left to right): Chico, Braggo and Blurt

The Pokémon Poacher Brothers are a gang of three poacher brothers.

Their respective names are Braggo (Japanese: グルー Glue), Chico (Japanese: チーコ Chico) and Blurt (Japanese: ハンポ Hampo).

Braggo is the leader, and he may be the oldest. He always speaks in rhyme, and orders his two brothers around. Chico is the inventor of the three. He is responsible for creating all of the machines the gang uses to poach Pokémon. The third brother is Blurt. He is self-described as quiet, but he is also clumsy and tends to break things.

They were the ones responsible for stealing Ash's Larvitar when it was just an egg. In the process of stealing the egg, they shot at and severely wounded the mother Tyranitar.

They were first seen in Larvitar's mind during Address Unown, when an injured Unown gave Ash and the others a look inside the young Pokémon's mind. They appeared in person in Mother of All Battles. When Ash and his friends tried to return Larvitar, the Poacher Brothers once again tried to kidnap the mother, and they would have stolen Ash's Pikachu and Ranger Mason's Croconaw if they had time. Thanks to the help of Ranger Mason and Larvitar, their plan was thwarted and the gang was arrested.
