Gordie/Quotes
These are Gordie's quotes in the Pokémon games.
In the core series games
Pokémon Sword
- 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."
- 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."
- 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!"
- 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
- 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!"
- 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 sending out first Pokémon
- 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."
