Introduced in the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass, specifically The Isle of Armor, Mustard is a sagely figure who guides the player character through rigorous training at his dojo.

His training methods emphasize the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, focusing on developing their innate strengths. Mustard is particularly associated with the Legendary Pokémon Urshifu, a powerful fighting-type Pokémon that can master either the Single Strike Style or the Rapid Strike Style, reflecting different approaches to combat. His influence extends beyond the dojo, as he is also the father of Peony and the husband of Honey, both significant characters in the Galar region. His presence highlights the deep traditions and diverse martial arts philosophies embedded within the Pokémon world, offering a unique perspective on battling and growth.
