Regular League Card

Milo's regular League Card.

This Trainer was born as the son of farmers. He has honed his strength, stamina, and skill as a Pokémon Trainer from a young age by working together with his Pokémon. Because of his gentle nature, he has trouble going all out on weaker opponents, which is why his Gym is the first one for challengers to attempt during the Gym Challenge. He always wears his boots, as apparently they let him dig in his heels when he needs to.

Too small

Milo's rare League Card.

Though his record isn't the best due to his focus on simply having fun in battles, Milo himself is incredibly strong. The rolls of hay used in his Gym Challenge each weigh over 770 pounds, yet Milo can roll them around easily. Wooloo tend to roll around, too, and sometimes they can get carried away and roll out of the Gym Stadium. It has become common in Turffield to see the whole town chasing after Milo, who is in turn chasing after a stray Wooloo, along with Yamper.

Trivia

• Milo's uniform number, 831, can be read in Japanese as "yasai," meaning "vegetable."
• During the story in The Crown Tundra, Peony claims that Regirock has a striking resemblance to him.
• Milo's name likely comes from a portmanteau of "mill" and "silo," structures used in the processing and storage of grain, as he's a farmer. It may also come from Achillea millefolium, the scientific name for the yarrow plant.
• Yarō, his Japanese name, likely comes from yarrow and 野 (ya, plains).
• During his initial battle with the player, his Eldegoss is level 20, making it the highest level Pokémon owned by a first Gym Leader.
