The Go-Rock Quads (Japanese: ゴーゴー４兄弟 Four GoGo Siblings) are recurring characters in Pokémon Ranger. They are a musical quartet and the admins of the Go-Rock Squad. Together, they are the children of Gordor, the leader of the Go-Rock Squad. In their first appearance, they were villains, but after the team's disbandment, they travel the world playing their music.
Members
Tiffany
Tiffany (ミライ Mirai) is the only female sibling. Her favorite activity is shopping in Fall City where she makes her brothers or the grunts of the Go-Rock Squad carry her purchases. She was put in charge of searching for the legendary Pokémon in the Krokka Tunnel, so she blocked the entrance with rocks, making Aria and the player arrive to clear the rocks. Aria soon left and the player had to beat all the grunts while clearing the rockfalls and then had to face off against Tiffany, who summoned one Camerupt with a violin styler to try to beat the player. Then Spenser arrived and Tiffany fled. The second time the player encounters her she is in the Go-Rock Squad's main base and battles the player again, still with her favorite Pokémon, two Camerupt.
Clyde
Clyde (ヨウジ Youji) is a very "cool" person that likes to "stay with the trends" and is always hip and popular. Despite this, he oftentimes comes across as very lazy. He is put in charge of guarding the Jungle Relic while Gordor captures Entei. When the player meets him, he has just defeated Aria and battles the player with a Slaking, summoned by playing his instrument, a drum that appears to be of the 'ashiko' variety. When the player defeats him, he lets the player battle Gordor. The second time the player faces him, in the Go-Rock Squad main base, he has a Slakoth, Vigoroth and Slaking.
Garret
Garret (ユウキ Yuki) is a smooth, polite person that can "Put people down with the simplest of words". He is left to watch over the Dusk Factory in the seventh numbered mission of the game while it creates the new Power Stylers. When the player meets him he uses a Scizor (summoned by a bass guitar) to try to defeat the player but to no avail. When the player meets him in the Go-Rock Base his Scizor is joined by two Scyther.
Billy
Billy (ヤライ Yarai) is the eldest and assumed leader of the four. He is clever and comes up with all of their plans. He is not faced until his siblings have been defeated a second time in the Go-Rock Squad Base and when that happens he gets very angry and attacks with more ferocity than all of the others. Billy uses a Larvitar, Pupitar and Tyranitar that he summons with an electric guitar.
History
After Billy is defeated, the Go-Rock Quads leave the Go-Rock Squad in shame and concentrate on their musical act. They do one last performance under the Joy Clock Tower before leaving Fiore to bring their music to distant lands.
The Go-Rock Quads also appeared in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia as performers for Altru's seventieth anniversary. They are first seen rehearsing at Altru Park but are disrupted by Blake Hall at one time. Clyde storms out of the park first to think of a new song to replace the horrible song Dream Energy by Blake Hall (effectively providing some character development as well). He goes to Brook's grandmother and hears a folktale. He then comes up with the song The Song of Vatonage and returns to the group at the park. They reappear there once Team Dim Sun takes over Altru Tower and make their final appearance performing outside the tower during the last scenes of the game.
They reappear once again in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, where they are the subject of a Quest. The player must track down Billy, Garret and Clyde and return them to Tiffany. Once reunited, the siblings perform a concert, with Ukulele Pichu as a special guest.
Motto
Each time the Go-Rock Quads appear in the game, they recite a musical motto as an introduction:
All: Pokémon a go-go!
Garret: Even if you're in a hurry, stop in your tracks!
(bass solo)
Tiffany: Open your ears to our melodic attacks!
(violin solo)
Clyde: The rhythm of rage pounds the ground!
(ashiko solo)
Billy: Let the melody of ambition rise to the skies!
(guitar solo)
All: If you don't know us, we'll cure your ignorance!
Billy! Garret! Clyde! Tiffany!
The Go-Rock Squad's hot prospect band
of key-shaker-and-taker celebrities!
A name once heard and never forgotten!
The Go-Rock Quads!
(All play at once and confetti comes down)
In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Billy, Garret and Tiffany perform a new motto in Altru Park during one of their rehearsals based on the old one. Clyde is absent for this performance, as he is off searching for a new song to replace Dream Energy.
All: Pokémon a go-go!
Garret: From across the sea, the Fiore-born quadruplets have arrived!
Tiffany: If you know us, you're a beloved fan! You knew us as a criminal quartet then!
Billy: But that's all in the past! We've had a change of heart and direction! We've transformed into purveyors of theatrical rock!
All: What's the name of our band?! Go-Rock Quads! We can't hear you! Go-Rock Quads!! Don't be shy! Shout it, loud and proud! GO-ROCK QUADS!!!
Tiffany: The quadruplet family band, Go-Rock Quads! Four is the magic number for any band!
Billy: Four instead of three! Four rather than five!

In the manga
The Go-Rock Quads appear in Pokémon Ranger - the Comic where they attempt to steal the Manaphy egg to use for Team Go-Rock's evil plans using a Deoxys they have captured, They managed to defeat the four Ranger leaders and steal the Manaphy egg but the rank 10 rangers Lunick and Solana managed to defeat them, retrieve the Manaphy egg, and free Deoxys.
Trivia
- The way the four of them recite their motto every time they are encountered is somewhat similar to Jessie and James of Team Rocket in the anime.
- In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, one of the audience members calls the group the Go-Rock Squad, in which they quickly correct them. They are possibly showing that they no longer wish to be affiliated with the Go-Rock Squad.
- In the manga, they are a part of the Go-Rock Squad even though in the games both the Manaphy and Deoxys events (which the manga is based on) take place after they quit. In fact, they seem to have never met Solana or Lunick before.
