(Japanese: タッパ Tupper) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime. He is a member of Team Skull, who often appears alongside Zip and Wrap.
History
Tupper first appeared in Alola to New Adventure! in which he, Zip, and Wrap challenged Kiawe to a battle with his Charizard on the line. Tupper and the other Grunts took on his Turtonator nine against one, until Ash came to assist Kiawe with his Pikachu. After a short battle, Tupper and his partners were defeated by Turtonator's Z-Move Inferno Overdrive, forcing them to retreat.
Tupper reappeared in Young Kiawe Had a Farm! in which he, Zip, and Wrap attacked Kiawe and Ash, seeking revenge for their previous defeat. However, the trio was quickly defeated by Pikachu's Gigavolt Havoc.
In SM024, he, Zip, and Wrap visited the Pokémon School, where they stole some Ride Tauros and started wreaking havoc at the school. They were soon confronted by Delia, who took the Grunts on using Ash's Litten. When Ash and his classmates arrived, Team Skull was soon sent off again by Pikachu's Gigavolt Havoc.
He reappeared in SM025, where he encountered Team Rocket for the first time. Both teams were after a Darkinium Z which Team Rocket managed to take.
He reappeared again in SM027, where he had a battle with Gladion but was quickly defeated by Lycanroc's Stone Edge.
