Gordie/Quotes

These are Gordie's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Sword

Circhester Stadium

• During the Gym mission

"Can you hear me?"

"Try to feel your way through... Trust your senses..."

"That's it... That's the ticket..."

"Take a deep breath. Focus."

"It might get a bit harder to see, now..."

"You have to carry on, not knowing what lies before you."

"Tsk, tsk! No rubbing your eyes!"

"No hesitation. Your only choice is forward."

"Failure opens your eyes to things you couldn't see before."

"Don't let yourself slip up now. Not this close to the end."

"You did... wonderfully. Just wonderfully."

"Now, Gym Challenger. Join me on the pitch."

• Before battle

"Hey there. The name's Gordie. I admit I feel a little bad for doing this to a Gym Challenger, but... I'm going to use this match to show the crowd that my Pokémon are unbeatable! / So you managed to reach me without falling into any of the holes... Of course, you'd stand no chance against me if you let a few holes get in your way. So, let's get this over with, Challenger!"

• In battle

Upon sending out last Pokémon: "Not yet! I'm not crumbling to dust just yet. We can still battle!"

Upon Gigantamaxing Coalossal: "Like a giant mountain boulder! Hiyah! Gigantamax!"

Upon first using Coalossal's G-Max Volcalith: "Size means strength! Savor this pain!"

Upon being defeated: "I just want to climb into a hole... Well, I guess it'd be more like falling from here."

• After being defeated

"That was...impressive. Rules are rules. Here, take this Rock Badge."

"Oh, don't worry about me. I just need to train harder, that's all."

Wyndon Stadium

• During the Champion Cup

• If talked to in the locker room

"I'll be bringing my matches to an end in a heartbeat—you'll see. No one who sees them will ever forget me."

• During Champion Cup rematches

• Before battle

"I've got nothing to say. I'm here to win."

• In battle

Upon being defeated: "I've been crushed! I pride myself on my solid Pokémon, and yet this..."

• After being defeated

"Sorry to lose my cool... I'll be sure to challenge you again."

Circhester Stadium

• In the post-game

"Get to safety, you three!"

"Oh, actually... I didn't realize who I was talking to."

"I was just thinking over how to handle all the Dynamax Pokémon..."

"With all of you here, we can each take one of them on!"

"Let's hurry to the pitch."

• After defeating Dynamax Gigalith

"Nice work, everyone. No one's hurt, are they?"

"Hehe. I expected nothing less from you, <player>. You seem like quite the reliable Trainer, too, Hop."

"I'll take care of the Pokémon we battled, so there's no need for any of you to worry, all right?"

"<player>. It's hardly a reward for what you've done for me, but please take a copy of my League Card."

"If anything comes up, please contact me."

"All right then. I wish you all the best of luck for the future!"

Isle of Armor

• When first spoken to

"Fancy meeting you here, Champion!"

"We're trying out some tricky movements geared to bring out Coalossal's full power. So don't get too comfortable being Champion!"

• If found in the Fields of Honor

"An acquaintance of mine gave me an Armor Pass. I figured it'd be nice to have a change of scenery once in a while for our training."

• If found in the Forest of Focus

"The air's so damp in here! Makes it quite hot and humid, doesn't it? If my mum were here, she'd never stop complaining about it. That's for sure..."

• If found on Challenge Road

"Quite the view up here, isn't it? Look how far you can see! Too bad you can't make out Circhester, but that's to be expected, I guess."

• If found in the Courageous Cavern

"Coalossal seems to perk up a bit when we head into a cave. I suppose it must feel like being back home in Galar Mine."

• If found on Challenge Beach or the Training Lowlands

"Coalossal may be weak to Water, but its Ability makes it grow much speedier when it gets wet!"

• If found in the Potbottom Desert

"Watch out—there's a chance Coalossal might tip over! It's about three times my weight, so be careful!"

• During harsh sunlight or clear skies

"Daytime here on the Isle of Armor's hot enough to get me all sweaty. Not like Circhester, where I'm grateful for every bit of heat Coalossal gives off."

• During overcast conditions

"What a thick blanket of clouds! Seems like we're in for some showers. And no, it's not smoke from Coalossal."

• During rain or thunderstorms

"I slipped in the mud and nearly fell... But I managed to turn that into a backward somersault and land safely!"

• During a sandstorm

"Being able to walk around in sandstorms like this unbothered is one of the greatest things about wearing sunglasses!"

• During foggy conditions

"No matter how many times I wipe my lenses, they just fog back up and I can't see a thing... Training's on hold until this fog clears!"

Wyndon Stadium (Galarian Star Tournament)

• In the lobby before the invitational tournament

"Having you battling beside me would be as heartening as anything could be... But I'd rather face you as a rival, Champion."

Partnered with Gordie

• If talked to in the locker room

• Before the first round

"You may be the Champion and all, but I don't plan to sit back and let that decide this match. I'm going to show everyone the brilliance of the Rock-type—in that sense, I'll even beat you."

• Before the second round

"That last battle... Well, you conducted yourself just as I would have expected, Champion. If you hadn't, you wouldn't have been worthy as my partner."

• Before the final round

"Hah... So we come to the end at last. Be careful you don't slip up. All it takes is one pitfall for a battle to end in disaster. Let's finish this up before it comes to that."

• On the field

• Before the first round, randomly selected

"Don't worry—If things get too dicey, I'll back you up."

"We're going to absolutely rock this crowd!"

• Before the second round, randomly selected

"Whew! Doing a backflip takes quite a bit of focus, you know."

"We're going to win this one, too. You got that, Champion?"

• Before the final round, randomly selected

"Just battle like you always do. Victory will come naturally!"

"Let's grab first place for all our fans!"

• Upon winning the tournament

• First time

"I enjoyed that tournament quite a bit. The way that you battled, <player>... That's what makes you worthy to be my partner."

• Subsequent victories

"Nothing surprising about this outcome, when you consider how strong the two of us are. If you want, I don't mind continuing to help you out with racking up these wins."

Facing against Gordie

• In battle

After sending out first Pokémon

With Bea: "Let's use our rock-solid moves to crush the willpower of any opponent!"

With Klara: "Um, do be careful. A lot of my fans can get a little wild sometimes..."

With Nessa: "Water helps push rocks forward... The opponent doesn't stand a chance!"

With Raihan: "Remember our plan, Raihan! I'm counting on you to get that weather going!"

Upon sending out his last Pokémon: "All it takes it one pitfall to defeat you. How shall I start digging...?"

Upon Gigantamaxing Coalossal: "You're unbreakable, Coalossal! I've got absolute faith in you!"

Upon first using Coalossal's G-Max Volcalith: "Rise up, G-Max Volcalith! Can you escape from the prison of stone?"

Upon being defeated: "We may fight as one, but it looks like we're still a ways off from being a true monolith."

• After being defeated

• In the first round

"This new tournament is something else! You never know what to expect!"

• In the second round

"I wanted to at least make it to the final match, but...your teamwork was better than ours."

• In the final round

"I thought we had it in the bag! You can definitely be proud of defeating Team Gordie!"

Field conversations (invitational tournament, against the player)

• With Bea

"What an ideal matchup for letting both of us show our strength."

"Between us, we make a monolith that won't easily be crushed!"

Field conversations (subsequent tournaments, with or against the player)

• Against Bea

"Fighting types can be trouble... But I won't let you shatter us so easily!"

• Against Raihan

"I think it's about time that I inherit the title of the strongest Gym Leader in Galar."

"Oh, hello, <player>. What did you think of my battle?"

It was fun!: "Thank you!"

It was very stylish!: "Of course—that's how I do it."

"I aim to battle in a way the crowd can enjoy."

"I think that's one way I can show people how great Pokémon are."

"Although some people think I don't take battling seriously."

"It's a shame people think that, but I don't plan to change anytime soon."

"I'll show them how strong I am by battling my own way."

I think you're already quite strong.: "No—not enough."

You've got my support!: "Thank you very much!"

Sounds like hard work.: "Yes, it is."

"It's going to be a tough road, but I don't plan on stopping."

"I'll show you our determination to reach our ideals through battle—just like climbing a steep cliff."

Pokemon Center

• During sync background preview

"Not yet! I'm not crumbling to dust just yet. We can still battle!"

• Random conversation

"Are you interested in backward somersaults, too?"

"The key is to concentrate, but at the beginning, you just have to go for it."

• If spoken to again

"Grant and Roxanne both use Rock-type Pokémon, but the way they operate is totally different."

"There's no correct way to battle, but with Brock's style..."

"I feel like he brings out the strength of Rock-type Pokémon."

• Random conversation

"My mum is an Ice-type Pokémon user, but I chose to use Rock-type Pokémon."

"I have zero intention of following my mum's style, even if we're family."

"I've clashed with my mum over this, but I have no regrets."
