If you were looking for the Pokémon Ranger character, see Larry (Ranger).
If you were looking for the anime character with the Japanese name of Larry, see Ridley.
Larry is depicted as a middle-aged man of average height and build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones, grey eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square gray eyebrows, and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it.
Larry wears a light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. Beneath his suit is a gray long-sleeve button-downed shirt with a pale-blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member.
As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them.
Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Website Blurb:This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.
Larry is a serious, brooding man who works for Paldea's Pokémon League under Geeta, who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. He is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.[1] According to Iono in Pokémon: Paldean Winds, Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years.
He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image. In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out TM025 (Facade) when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.
Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the Treasure Eatery of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles.
The Indigo Disk
After completing the main story, Larry can be invited to Unova's Blueberry Academy as a special coach. When challenged to a rematch, he battles as a Gym Leader, though he retains some Flying-type Pokémon from his team when battled as one of the Elite Four.
Larry was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Raging Surf subset and the English Paradox Rift expansion, with artwork by Akira Komayama. A Full Artultra rare version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows players to flip a coin and search their deck for up to 2 Pokémon of any kind if they flip heads, or 1 Basic Pokémon if they flip tails.
Trivia
Larry's Japanese Gym Leader title is 非凡サラリーマンExtraordinary Salaryman.
As both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, Larry is the first character in the games to fill two different positions in the same Pokémon League simultaneously.
Larry's specialization in Flying types is hinted at by the cloud patterns on his tie and his ace Pokémon as a Gym Leader being part Flying-type.
Him specializing in both Normal and Flying types is likely a reference to how the Normal/Flying type combination is the most common type combination amongst dual-type Pokémon.
Larry is the only Paldean Gym Leader to:
Terastallize a Pokémon already of his type specialization.
Terastallize more than one Pokémon.
Battle inside a building instead of outdoors.
During the Champion Assessment, Larry's Altaria does not know any Flying-type moves, making Larry the only member of the Paldean Elite Four to use a Pokémon that does not know any moves with the specialty type of its Trainer.
During his Gym battle, Larry's Dudunsparce is female, but during the rematch, it is male.
