(Japanese: シャガ Shaga) is one of the Gym Leaders of Souryuu City's Gym, known officially as the Souryuu Gym. He specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon and gives the Legend Badge to Trainers who manage to defeat him.

In the games

Shaga appears in Pokémon Black and White where he is the mayor of Souryuu City. In Pokémon Black, he is the Gym Leader of Souryuu City's gym, the last gym to be challenged by the player in the region.

In Pokémon White, he will teach Draco Meteor to the player's Dragon-type Pokémon. He can be found in his home in Souryuu City. However, in this game Iris takes his place as Gym Leader. The only differences between both the teams are the genders; Shaga's team consists only of male Pokémon, while Iris's team is made exclusively of female ones.

He also reappears at N's Castle where he and many of the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages.

Quotes

  • Before battle:

"Good, so you've come. I am Shaga, leader of the Souryuu Pokemon Gym. ..As a mayor, I have put my efforts into the city's growth.. And as a trainer, I have merely pursued strength.. What I seek now is a young trainer that can show me their bright future. Would I be right to hope that you can show me your future as Iris does?

  • During battle:

"..So you'd do that? Yes, you seem a tough opponent..."

  • After sending out last Pokemon:

"Well now! This is a do or die moment... May my ancestors' blood flow in me!"

  • After being defeated:

"Im worn out.. but boiling over with emotions.. What can I say?"


Trivia

  • His Japanese Leader title is スパルタン メイヤー.
