Oh? Now, what are you doing here? What? You say you've gotten past all my rigged doors? Wahahahah! Now, that is amusing! The plans to reform Mauville are done for now.

Personality

Wattson is proficient at battling with Electric-type Pokémon, though he owns more Electric-type Pokémon that he does not use.

Etymology

The name Wattson comes from "watt" which is the SI unit of power (the amount of energy released per unit of time) and commonly associated with electricity.

His Japanese name, Tessen, translates into "steel wire", as wires conduct electricity. It may also come from "Tesla", referring to Nikola Tesla, inventor of the Tesla coil, and/or the tesla, the metric unit of magnetic induction, named after the aforementioned inventor.
