Pearl 150px Pearl, as seen in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Comedian Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Pearl パール Pāru is a new character from Sinnoh and one of the three leading characters in the Diamond and Pearl arc of Pokémon Adventures. Pearl has a hasty personality and a habit of butting into coversations along with exploding with rage if a person does not give him eye contact when he speaks to them. He and Diamond are friends, though Pearl is known for frequently getting them into trouble. Together, they form a Pokémon comedy duo with Pearl acting as the tsukkomi (straight man) of their duo. Because of a mix-up, he and Diamond think that escorting Ms. Berlitz to Mt. Coronet is part of a reality television show and by accomplishing this task, they will win a prize. Berlitz, believing the duo to be her bodyguards, gives them Pokédexes, Pokétches, and starter Pokémon from Professor Rowan. Pearl receives a Chimchar from Berlitz, and nicknames him Saruhiko, which has evolved into a Monferno. Along with Saruhiko, he also has a Chatot named Perahiko. He is based on the rival character from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
