Chuck intimidates his opponent before battle by telling how his Pokémon "will crush stones and shatter bones," then lifts and tosses a boulder.

He enjoys a good battle, but after losing Chuck vows to train 24 hours a day. After he is defeated, his wife will give the player HM02 (Fly). She also comments that she is grateful that her husband would be doing more training, since he was getting "a little flabby". Also, Chuck is known to spar with his fighting Pokémon.
