Each brother specializes in a different elemental type: Chili with Fire, Cilan with Grass, and Cress with Water. They are unique among Gym Leaders for their shared Gym and their role as "connoisseurs" who can evaluate the compatibility between a Trainer and their Pokémon. In the anime, Cilan travels with Ash and Iris for a significant portion of the Black & White series, showcasing his culinary skills and detective-like intuition, while Chili and Cress make occasional appearances. Their distinct personalities – Chili's fiery passion, Cilan's calm analytical nature, and Cress's cool confidence – make them a memorable and beloved trio. They represent a different approach to Gym challenges, emphasizing the bond between Trainer and Pokémon rather than just brute strength. Their presence adds a vibrant dynamic to the Unova region, and their individual types offer a diverse challenge to trainers seeking their first Gym Badge.
