In the Anime

In the Anime, Tate and Liza's father owns the Mosdeep Space Centre and often goes into space to search for space Pokémon. This means that they often spend time at the Space Centre, and even have battles in zero-gravity.

Liza is the older of the two, and more experienced in battle, allowing Tate to relate with Max.

Liza's Japanese seiyuu is Takahiro Mizushima 水島大宙, and Tate is voiced by Chisa Yokoyama 横山智佐.

Tate and Liza

In Pokémon Special, Liza and Tate are the guardians of Mt. Pyre. When they somehow sensed someone had intruded into Mt. Pyre, they went all the way to Lilycove from Mossdeep in order to protect the two Orbs. However, they fell into Hokage's fire illusion until Juan rescued them. Afterwards, they become Ruby's and Sapphire's teachers in double battling on the Mirage Island. They stayed on the island to ensure Ruby and Sapphire can leave for Sootopolis safely, and were not seen since then.
