Description	This cautious Electric-type Gym Leader sets a lot of traps in his Gym. He excels at paralyzing his opponents in battle.

Lt. Surge (Japanese: マチス Matis) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series. He forms a sync pair with Voltorb, and its evolved form, Electrode. The sync pair can be obtained through the sync pair scout.

Lt. Surge also forms a sync pair with his Raichu. This pair can be obtained by exchanging BP Sync Pair Vouchers since May 31, 2021.
