Chili

Chili (Japanese: ポッド Poddo) is a member of the Striaton City Gym Leader trio, along with Cilan and Cress. The boy considers himself the strongest of the Trio of brothers. If Snivy is chosen as the starter Pokemon, he will battle the player at the Striaton City Gym with his Pansear. He will award the player the Trio Badge if you defeat him.

Chili is the first gym leader to be encountered in Unova if Snivy is chosen at the beginning.

Strategy
All of this is true in the anime but not in the game.

Chili is strong and passionate in battle and will do anything to win. He loves his Pansear and thinks battling is spicy. He likes to use Dig and Fire Punch a lot. His Pansear can use Flamethrower but it only uses it rarely. He will let you attack at the start and then use these moves. To keep the battle fair, he will give you a chance to attack in between his attacks, but he puts up a good fight. It will also take courage to fight him with a fire type as said in the anime.

Anime
In the Anime, just like the other trios, they first asked which of the three gym leaders Ash will choose to battle, but Ash says that he wants to battle all three. Although Chili loses with his Pansear, he congratulates Ash.
