Avery (Galar)

Avery is a rival appearing in the Shield - The Isle of Armor Expansion Pass. He only appears in Pokémon Shield, and his Pokémon Sword counterpart is Klara. He specializes in types.
==Appearance==
Avery is a young man with blue eyes and long straight blonde hair. He is usually seen wearing round glasses. Floating Poké Balls can be seen levitating around his hat.
==Personality==
Although outwardly gentlemanly and well-mannered, Avery has a prideful heart and regards his opponents as formidable. His catchphrase is "elegant" and he has a tendency of using metaphors that involve Psychic-type moves and Pokémon. Thanks to Mustard and Honey's guidance, he appears to have mellowed out and become a kinder person. However, there are times when he would deploy underhanded tactics, which led to Mustard sentencing him to look after the Dojo's Pokémon for six months.
Avery looks down on Bede in part due to him abandoning Psychic-types for Fairy-types.
Avery sometimes has difficulty accepting losses, as shown through his defeat animation where he stops levitating the Poké Balls on his head as he looks down in complete shock.
==Biography==
Avery is a Psychic-type master, being a psychic himself. It is mentioned on his League Card that he was a "disappointment" due to not being able to master all the skills of a psychic, such as telepathy or teleportation. Later, he became a Gym Leader, but his position was taken after levitating any opponent who defeated him. He then migrated to the Master Dojo, training with Mustard before being granted the position as Gym Leader once more.
