Tate (Japanese: フウ Fū) and Liza (Japanese: ラン Lan) are the twin Gym Leaders of Mossdeep City's Gym, known officially as the Mossdeep Gym. They specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon. They give the Mind Badge to Trainers who defeat them. They are the only characters in the games to have the Trainer class Leaders (Japanese: ジムリーダー Gym Leader).
In the core series games
Tate and Liza run the Mossdeep City Gym. Both specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon and give out the Mind Badge once defeated. They also give TM04 (Calm Mind). The two of them engage in a Double Battle against the player when they challenge them.
In Black 2 and White 2, they participate in the Pokémon World Tournament. Unlike in Hoenn, Tate and Liza do not battle as a team, instead participating as individuals.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, besides the Mossdeep Gym, Tate and Liza can also be met at the Lilycove Department Store after becoming Champion, buying new toys on the fifth floor.

In the anime
Main series
Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire
Tate and Liza debuted in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!. Their father Jin is the director and an astronaut at the Mossdeep Space Center who often goes into space to search for extraterrestrial Pokémon. As a result, they often spend time at the Space Center, and they even have battles in simulated zero-gravity conditions, which they accomplish by using their Baltoy's Confusion technique to levitate them. In the anime, Liza is revealed to be the older of the twins (by around a few minutes).
When Ash and his friends visited Mossdeep City, Tate quickly befriended Max since they had a few things in common, including Max's issues with his own sister May. Likewise, Liza related with May, and showed the group around the facility.
Later, while Tate and Max were hanging out in the cockpit of the space shuttle, Team Rocket infiltrated the area with the intent of stealing it. Tate and Max were unaware of this until the trio reached the cockpit, whereupon Meowth tied the two boys up with rope. Fortunately, Ash's Corphish was aboard the shuttle as well and freed the duo, who promptly knocked the trio out. Afterwards, Tate and Max safely landed the airborne shuttle. Team Rocket was then attacked by a vengeful Liza and May, who used their Lunatone and Combusken, respectively, before Ash's Pikachu sent them blasting off.
In Solid as a Solrock, Tate and Liza faced off against Ash in a Double Battle, in which their Lunatone and Solrock, respectively, went up against Pikachu and Swellow. At first, the twins continuously argued with each other, which allowed their opponents to get hits in. However, after another attack by Team Rocket, the twins managed to work together and set aside their differences.
In the battle that followed, they showed an incredible ability to balance each other's Pokémon, forcing Ash to use unorthodox tactics in order to defeat them. Eventually, Pikachu and Swellow used the former's Thunder attack as a makeshift armor, and with this newfound power, they easily defeated Lunatone and Solrock, earning Ash the Mind Badge.
Character
Liza is depicted as being more experienced in battle, and it is implied in their debut episode that she always defeats Tate whenever the two have a battle. During a Gym challenge, Liza often defends her brother's Solrock. She is also the first to make a move and sometimes directs Tate's attack strategy to ensure that they are in sync.
Liza appears to be more independent and confident, whereas Tate is more jovial and focused on proving his own worth. Liza loves to annoy Tate by teasingly reminding him of things, and especially refers to him as her "little" brother even though they are twins, which proves to be her primary way of agitating Tate. Regardless of her teasing habits, Liza cares for Tate and will stand up for him against people antagonizing him.

History
Ruby & Sapphire arc
Tate and Liza are the guardians of Mt. Pyre, having taken over the position from their grandparents. When Flannery calls the Gym Leaders together for a meeting about Team Magma and Team Aqua, Tate and Liza are forced to ignore the call so that they can head over to Mt. Pyre. There, they encounter Team Magma, who aim to steal the Red and Blue Orbs so that they can be used to control Groudon and Kyogre. The attackers turn out to be illusions created by Blaise. By distracting Tate and Liza with his illusions, Blaise is able to easily sneak into the chamber holding the orbs and steal them.
Tate and Liza later appear on Mirage Island with Juan, who is revealed to have rescued them. They are tasked with training Ruby and Sapphire so that they would be ready to face Groudon and Kyogre. They train Ruby and Sapphire in various forms of Double Battle styles so that they may work together and defeat their opponents. Once the time has come for Ruby and Sapphire to head off, Tate and Liza award Sapphire the Mind Badge.
After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Tate and Liza celebrate the victory with their allies and thank Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
Using Wallace's aircar, Tate and Liza travel to Sootopolis City along with Juan and Lisia. They and several others are called to the city to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta, a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Tate, Liza, and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of Mega Rayquaza, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

Trivia
- Tate and Liza are two of four Gym Leaders that are battled in a Double Battle for a Gym Badge, the others being Raihan and Ryme.
- Tate and Liza are the only Gym Leaders who fight as a team in a Double Battle, as Raihan and Ryme both fight alone.
- In Black 2 and White 2, instead of serving as a team, Tate and Liza are shown and battled separately.
- Consequently, they are the only Gym Leaders whose battle is not in stereoscopic 3D in Generation VI, as only Single Battles support it.
- Chuang Yi's translations of Pokémon Adventures mistakenly refer to Tate as a girl.
- In Generation III games, they are the only Gym Leaders to carry more than two Hyper Potions in their first battle. This is likely due to them being a duo, with each of them holding two Hyper Potions.
- In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, they are referred to as "Leader Tate&Liza" due to the way their Trainer class is programmed. This is fixed in the remakes, where they are called "Leaders Liza & Tate".
- In Emerald, Solrock is the only Pokémon from their original team to keep its moveset in the rematches.
