He is the Gym Leader of Sunyshore City and specializes in Electric-type Pokémon, making him the final Gym Leader players typically challenge before the Elite Four. Volkner is known for his cool demeanor and a certain ennui, often feeling unchallenged and bored with his role until the player character reignites his passion for battling. His gym is famous for its intricate electric puzzles, requiring trainers to navigate rotating gears to reach him. In the anime, Volkner appears in several episodes, notably befriending Ash and challenging him in a Gym Battle that showcases his powerful Electric-type Pokémon like Luxray and Electivire. His character arc often revolves around finding inspiration and purpose in his life, which resonates with many fans. As a human character, Volkner doesn't have a traditional "type" like Pokémon, but his association with Electric-types makes him a key figure in that aspect of the Pokémon world. His presence adds depth to the Sinnoh region's lore and provides a significant challenge for aspiring Pokémon Masters.
