History

Pre-series

A young Brock

Not much is known about Brock's early childhood other than that he grew up at Pewter City in the Kanto region. In Having a Wailord of a Time, he revealed that his first Pokémon was an Onix he received as a tenth-birthday gift from his father Flint.

When he was younger, he participated in Little League Baseball, as mentioned in The Little Big Horn.

Prior to joining Ash at the end of Showdown in Pewter City, Flint left the family home to pursue his own ventures. As a result, Brock assumed the responsibility of running the Pewter Gym while also taking care of his nine younger siblings on his own.

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

In Showdown in Pewter City, after Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and Misty.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It was his dream to become a great Pokémon Breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream.

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as Officer Jenny in The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, and more modest as well, such as when he met Melanie in Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock leaving the group to stay with Professor Ivy

Brock took care of a Vulpix that belonged to a Breeder named Suzie.

Brock briefly left the show during the Orange Islands saga to work for Professor Ivy on Valencia Island and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the second movie. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. In the English dub of Destiny Deoxys, he mentioned his work for her. After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by Delia Ketchum, who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to Mimey until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to Johto.

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

In Beauty and the Breeder, Brock returned Vulpix to Suzie. Together, they entered Vulpix into the Pokémon Beauty Contest in Bonitaville.

At the end of Ash and his friends' journey in Johto, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Brock's family

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the Gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated Water-type den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock types and won, promising his brother Forrest that he would become Gym Leader someday. After getting some new clothes from his mother, Brock set off on a new journey as he goes to Hoenn region in the hopes of finding Ash there.

Brock after catching a Pokémon

In You Never Can Taillow, Brock arrived in Petalburg Woods as he was about to eat some lunch until he saw a Thunderbolt attack and hoped it was Ash's Pikachu as he rushed over to see. Brock ended up being right as he sees Ash and his new friends May and Max in trouble with a group of Taillow. After rescuing them, Brock formally meets May and Max then informs his intentions to travel with Ash again, which he happily accepts. After that, Brock traveled through Hoenn and Kanto Battle Frontier with his friends until he decided to return home.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

In Two Degrees of Separation!, Brock arrived in Sinnoh through Claudina as he meet up with Ash. Although he intended to travel with Claudina, Brock changed his mind when he found out that she has a boyfriend and decided to join Ash in his Sinnoh journey. After finding out that another one of Team Rocket's attempt to catch Pikachu got him separate from Ash, Brock joined him in finding the Mouse Pokémon. In the next episode, Brock meets Dawn, who was the one who found and saved Pikachu, as she joins him and Ash on their journey.

Near the end of his Sinnoh journey, Brock began to wonder if he was pursuing the same goal that he had been since he set off on his journey. However, after saving a group of Pokémon in The Brockster Is In!, Brock decided to use all the experiences he gained while traveling with Ash to become a Pokémon Doctor. Unfortunately, Brock realized that he won't be able to follow Ash to Unova to advise him, as he decided to remain in Kanto to study. After parting ways with Dawn and returning to Kanto, Brock parted ways from Ash once again and return home.

Brock made an appearance in DPS02, where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he had been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the Pewter City Pokémon Center. In the episode, he played a major role in helping Forrest to officially become the Pewter City Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the Pokémon League of the title change.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Brock meeting Cilan

Brock reappeared in a fantasy in Expedition to Onix Island!, when Dawn learned that Cilan cooks for himself, Ash, and Iris. She said this was similar to the way Brock used to for her and Ash before he decided to become a Pokémon Doctor. He also appeared in flashbacks in The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo! and The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!. In addition, he appeared in a fantasy in The Dream Continues!.

Brock appeared in person in BWS01, where it was revealed that he had attended the Pokémon medical school and had been sent to Johto to apprentice under a Pokémon Doctor as part of his training. While passing through the town he bumped into Pokémon Connoisseur Cilan briefly, then encountered him again when Cilan took his Pansage to be treated at the town's Pokémon Center after it was injured by a Gyarados. While waiting for it to recover, the two encountered the beginning Trainer Ayumi who was having trouble teaching her Pikachu to use Thunderbolt; Brock was very impressed with Cilan's talents as Cilan helped Pikachu master the move. Later, when the Gyarados that Cilan encountered earlier started to rampage due to being injured by the hunter Amer, Brock spotted that it was injured, so after Pansage's Grass Whistle put it to sleep, Brock was able to quickly treat it. Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other and continued their separate travels, having never learned their names or that Ash was a mutual friend of theirs.

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon

Brock checking on Snowy

Brock reappeared in several Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episodes, first reappearing with Alola, Kanto!. Brock reunited with Ash when he and his classmates arrived at the Kanto airport, where he also used his expertise as a Pokémon Doctor to diagnose Lillie's Snowy's airsickness as harmless. Brock and Misty then compared Kantonian and Alolan Pokémon with the class at Professor Oak's Laboratory. Later, Brock and the rest of the group worked together to defeat Team Rocket, who Brock was angry to find were still up to their old tactics of stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from Professor Kukui that the class had plans to head to Cerulean City for a Gym battle.

Brock and his Key Stone

In When Regions Collide!, the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Brock and Misty assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the Pokémon League. Brock had a two-on-one battle against Lillie and Sophocles where he maintained the advantage before it was called off. He then used his Mega Steelix to defeat Kiawe and his Turtonator. He and Misty then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.

In Alola, Alola!, Brock accompanied Misty to Alola and met up with Ash and his classmates. Stopping by the Pokémon Center, he flirted with Nurse Joy, only to be stopped by Misty. He remained behind to assist Nurse Joy as she treated a Yungoos.

In Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, Brock and Misty accompanied Ash and his classmates to Akala Island. They visited Paniola Ranch, where a Kangaskhan was threatening the Pokémon after its baby was injured. Using a Comfey that Nurse Joy had given him, Brock was able to treat the baby Kangaskhan's injury. Later, upon meeting Kahuna Olivia, Brock immediately fell in love with her and they agreed to a battle. Brock used Sudowoodo against her Lycanroc, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket attempted to steal the Pokémon. Brock teamed up with Olivia to turn Lycanroc's Continental Crush into the shape of a heart, which defeated Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Brock returned to Kanto alongside Misty.

Brock and Kiawe

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Brock's silhouette appeared in Destination: Coronation! alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the Pokémon world. Brock was briefly referenced by Dawn in Nightfall? Nightmares!, when she talked about her journeys to Chloe. He reappeared in a brief flashback in the following episode, when Dawn explained to Chloe how she got experience from him with treating injured Pokémon. Ash also called him out by name when he and Dawn were asked about how they know each other.

Brock reappeared in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2), where it was revealed he was working in the Oreburgh City Pokémon Center at the time, with Croagunk and Blissey as his assistants. He later joined Ash, Dawn, and Goh in helping to stop Team Galactic's plan to open a hole in space-time to retrieve Cyrus.

Ash, Brock, and Misty

In Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!, Brock was seen listening to Team Rocket's radio show while camping out in a forest. During the broadcast of the show, a letter he sent was read by Jessie. Due to Jessie using a nickname, Brock didn't recognize her, instead feeling happy that the host whose voice he had fallen in love with was reading his mail.

He reappeared in a flashback in Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!.

In Partners in Time!, Brock appeared alongside Cilan and Alexa watching Ash's Masters Eight Tournament match against Leon.

In Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!, it was revealed that Brock had started working in a diner. After reuniting with Ash, Misty, and Cilan, Brock was controlled by a wild Hatterene that absorbed the negative feelings he was experiencing after a heartbreak. With the help of his friends, Brock managed to free himself, and right after saying goodbye to Cilan, decided to once again accompany Ash and Misty on their journey.

In Ride, Lapras, Ride!, Brock helped Ash and Misty with the final part of rescuing a trapped Wailord. With everyone working together, they managed to free the Float Whale Pokémon.

In Getting to the Heart of it All!, Brock helped Ash discover what Banette was looking for by describing the image it gave. Brock also helped Ash search for Banette’s owner, knowing that it was Nurse Joy's Pokémon.

In Rocket Revengers!, Brock, Ludicolo, and Croagunk provided assistance to Ash and Misty by diverting the attention of Team Rocket's Pokémon to enable them to help Mime Jr. in accomplishing their objective.

In The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Brock separated from Ash and Misty to return to Pewter City.

Other appearances

Brock made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of I Choose You!.

Brock reappeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, where he had largely the same role as in Mewtwo Strikes Back.

Character

Brock preparing Pokémon food

Prior to joining Ash on his journey, Brock had become increasingly frustrated and harsh towards challengers as a result of his responsibilities as both the Pewter City Gym Leader and the main caretaker for his nine younger siblings. Even while traveling, he would think of his family, returning home on several occasions like in A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!.

Brock is noticeably mature, wise, and levelheaded, often acting as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before himself and will support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there. However, in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, this role was mostly taken over by Max, who owned a PokéNav.

Brock being pulled by the ear by Max

He is renowned for his domestic abilities like sewing, vacuuming, and, most notably, cooking, which Ash and the others always enjoy without fail. The capacity of Brock's Bag is endless, as seen in The School of Hard Knocks, where it is capable of containing full tea-sets, tables, and cooking utensils. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as Potions and Pokémon food, though he has to make pit stops in towns so he could restock the group's supplies.

Despite this, all of his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, and he is extremely passionate over the prospect of finding the girl of his dreams, though he is usually never successful in wooing a woman. Despite this, a few women have been known to show interest in him, such as Wilhomena, Temacu, Natalie, Lucy, Holly, Autumn, Narissa, Lizabeth, and Olivia. Despite his failures, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and Misty and Max have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. In addition, some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably Croagunk, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women. Brock has also been shown to be able to identify when women are actually cross-dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of "Ashley" was able to fool Brock.

Brock flirting with Nurse Joy

He also carries a small blue journal containing information on every girl he meets, referring to it in The Rise of Darkrai as his "Little Blue Book of Babes". It most recently appeared in Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone! and featured Kahuna Olivia. His love of the Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy family lines, in particular, can be overbearing and embarrassing for his friends. Brock can also tell whether they are real or impostors, as well as make out subtle physical differences between them. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series.

Brock holding a Boulder Badge

Brock was not shown to battle often in spite of his experience as a former Gym Leader, though he happily accepts challenges from girls like Miki, Molly Hale, and Olivia. Instead, he tended to advise Ash on battle strategies and keenly watched matches from the sidelines, seeing the knowledge as valuable to understanding a Pokémon in its entirety.

His goals have played a passive role in his development, and Brock's overall role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like Pokémon training and Pokémon Contests, his initial aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder was a quiet one and thus did not get showcased frequently. Brock's experience with Vulpix taught him a lot about conditioning and nutrition, while further knowledge came from raising Happiny and Bonsly. He questioned whether he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends near the end of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, and ultimately decided to become a Pokémon Doctor instead.

Pokémon

Brock and some of his Pokémon in Pokémon Journeys: The Series

As Gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon, Onix and Geodude, were Rock types. However, once he was able to leave the Pewter Gym and go on a journey, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. As he has stated in Battling A Cute Drama!, his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon.

His Pokémon thus tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and have been shown to be very capable battlers, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon. Brock grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels.

Main outfits

Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown, and orange.

  • Original series Original series
  • Ruby and Sapphire Ruby and Sapphire
  • Diamond and Pearl Diamond and Pearl
  • Sun & Moon Sun & Moon

Original series

One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. With it, he carried a large, blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

It is assumed he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from Showdown in Pewter City to A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!.

Ruby and Sapphire

Brock's second outfit was a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt. His clothing slightly mirrors that of his game counterpart in Generation III. His shoes are dark blue, and his new backpack is blue but has no bedroll.

Brock wore this outfit from A Family That Battles Together Stays Together! to Home is Where the Start Is!. In the main series, it was first seen in Brock's comeback episode You Never Can Taillow. This is the only one of Brock's main outfits to not appear outside of its debut series.

Diamond and Pearl

Brock's third outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt. His new shoes and backpack are still blue, and his backpack does not have a bedroll.

Brock wore this outfit from Two Degrees of Separation! to BWS01. He returned to wearing this outfit from The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2) to Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!.

Sun & Moon

Brock's fourth outfit looked almost identical to his original outfit. The only difference is his vest, which now has just two pockets instead of the original four. Brock also holds a Key Stone necklace inside his shirt and was seen without his vest in When Regions Collide!. Brock wore this outfit during his return in Alola, Kanto! and When Regions Collide!. He returned to wearing this outfit in Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!.

Other outfits

Costumes

  • Brock wore a Slowpoke costume in A Shadow of a Drought.
  • Brock wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for DJ Mary's radio show in Air Time!.
  • In Jirachi Wish Maker, Brock wore a clown costume.
  • Brock wore a prince outfit in Curbing the Crimson Tide.

Formal attire

  • Brock and Ash don party outfits in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of maracas with it.
  • Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premiere in Go West Young Meowth.
  • One of Brock's best known outfits is his "Takeshi's Paradise" outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large sombrero with it, and his maracas now look like Poké Balls. He wore a similar outfit in The Psyduck Stops Here!
  • Brock wears a white tuxedo in Beauty and the Breeder. He is seen in it again in Temacu's wedding fantasy in The Heartbreak of Brock with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
  • Brock and Misty both wore special outfits for the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink bow tie.
  • Brock wore a blue suit with white in the middle in Just Waiting On a Friend.
  • Brock wears a purple suit in fantasies in Berry, Berry Interesting and Hail to the Chef. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory and drinking milk from a wine glass.

The Electric Tale of Pikachu

Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu

Brock is a frequently recurring character in The Electric Tale of Pikachu. Like in the animated series, he is a traveling companion of Ash and Misty.

Brock first appears in Play Misty For Me, where Ash challenges him for the Boulder Badge. After defeating Brock and earning the Badge, Ash leaves Pewter City and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in Haunting My Dreams, meeting Ash by coincidence in Saffron City. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in The Human Race and the Pokémon Race, though he separates from Ash in Days of Gloom and Glory while he prepares for the Indigo Plateau Conference.

Like in the animated series, Brock is the Leader of the Pewter Gym, but he takes a break from his duties as Gym Leader to travel. Unlike in the animated series, however, he does not hand control of the Gym to his father or his siblings. Instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as the Sensational Sisters, and he is the only character that can tell the many Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys apart.

Trivia

  • Brock was designed by Atsuko Nishida.[6]
  • Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the Pokémon animated series, having been present in nearly every episode between Showdown in Pewter City and Memories are Made of Bliss!, with the notable exception of the Orange Islands saga, the final episode of Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver, the first three episodes of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, and the first episode of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl. His tenure is ranked under Ash, Pikachu, the Team Rocket trio, and Wobbuffet.
Some old memories of Brock with his traveling companions
  • Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the animated series, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of K-Zone Magazine, Eric Stuart was interviewed, and he said Brock's last name is Harrison.[7]
    • In Love, Totodile Style, Brock confirmed that he does indeed have a last name, although did not give it.
  • Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing Zubat in Clefairy and the Moon Stone, exactly one episode after his debut.
  • Brock has owned four Pokémon whose Evolutions debuted in a different generation than that Pokémon (Onix, Golbat, Bonsly, and Happiny). All of them have since evolved.
    • In addition to this, all of their final evolutionary stages debuted in Generation II.
  • Pokémon the Series: XY is the only series with Ash as a main character where Brock does not appear and is never mentioned.
    • However, the ear pull Misty and Max did on Brock was referenced by Shauna and Tierno in The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!.
  • Brock is the first of Ash's friends to have obtained a new Pokémon within the main series after retiring from the main cast.
  • Brock is the only one of Ash's male friends to have more than one main outfit.
  • Brock ranked first place in a 20th anniversary poll leading up to I Choose You! concerning former cast members viewers want to see return.[8]
  • In The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2), Brock is seen driving a mini-plane of sorts, an indication that at some point after his adventures with Ash, he may have acquired a driver's license.
  • Among the animated series characters, Brock has the most known family members, with a total of 11.
  • Brock's Pokémon have experienced the most Methods of Evolution of any main character, with his team having evolved at a certain level, known a certain move, evolved at a certain time, used an Evolution item, transfered ownership, had high friendship, and been exposed to an Evolution stone.
  • Brock was the first main character to use Mega Evolution.

Hidaka interview about Brock's short absence from the animated series

There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why Tracey Sketchit was created, and why Brock returned later. In an interview with former Pokémon animation director and storyboard artist Masamitsu Hidaka, he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, Anglo-Saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character. However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.
