Elton

Elton is Kimberly Bond's Raboot, and the sixth Pokemon she acquired on her journey, as well as the first one she acquired in the Galar region.

Personality

While not as excitable or hyper as Dio is, Elton is still very much a cheerful, fun-loving, and outgoing Pokemon who focuses on the positives of a situation more often than not. He absolutely loves his Trainer and his fellow teammates, especially his partner and foil Freddie, and would do anything for them. Elton serves as a cheerleader for the rest of the team, and is always there to offer encouragement and advice to anyone, most notably Freddie. If Freddie is upset or nervous about something (which is usually almost always), Elton will be there to cheer him up. He is especially ready to give advice regarding battling; he was the first one to try to get Freddie to battle the day Kim caught Orwell, and tried to teach Dave Double Kick upon seeing that the Wooloo wasn't putting enough power behind the move. Elton is also very accepting of other Pokemon's quirks or differences: neither Dio's scar nor Freddie's smaller grippers made him like them any less, and Elton was also- notably- the first Pokemon on Kim's team to fully accept and admire Orwell's use of Newspeak, finding it weird, but in a good way. In battle, Elton is probably the most hot-blooded Pokemon on Kim's team besides Dio and Peechee, always raring to go and refusing to give up, even when things seem hopeless. Notably, during Kim's first Gym Battle against Milo, he continued to fight Milo's Eldegoss even when he was down to just 14 HP, knocking the Eldegoss out with a Max Knuckle and in the process evolving into a Raboot- while still Dynamaxed. As a Raboot, his personality hasn't changed all that much, and he's still as cheerful as ever. Elton has a thick Cockney-style British accent.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: ELTON THE SCORBUNNY. VERY OPTIMISTIC, CHEERY, AND UNLIKE FREDDIE IS VERY MUCH A FIGHTER. SO HE SAYS, I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN HIM FIGHT YET, BUT ACCORDING TO THE POKEDEX SCORBUNNY HAVE GREAT KICKING SKILLS. IF FREDDIE IS UPSET OR FEARFUL ABOUT SOMETHING, ELTON IS USUALLY THERE TO CHEER HIM UP. THEY HAVE A RATHER SWEET DYNAMIC. ALSO ELTON HAS A PRETTY THICK COCKNEY ACCENT. FIGURES."

Trivia

• Elton was named after musician Elton John, due to the fact that he is a foil to Freddie the Sobble, who was named for Freddie Mercury; John and Mercury were two of the biggest gay rock stars of the 1970's and 1980's, and their respective biopic films, Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody, were released within a year of each other.
• Elton's chat handle is rocketbun, a pun on his namesake's hit song "Rocketman."
• According to Goldenheart388, Elton's character theme is "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John, his Broadway character theme is "Electricity" from Billy Elliot the Musical (which had music composed by John), and his headcanon voice, as a Scorbunny and as a Raboot, is Tom Holland. By the time he evolves into a Cinderace, the headcanon voice will have switched over to Taron Egerton, who played Elton John in the biopic movie "Rocketman."
