Freddie

Freddie is Kimberly Bond's Sobble, and the seventh Pokemon she acquired on her journey, as well as her second Pokemon that she caught in the Galar region.

Personality

As is expected from a Sobble, Freddie is timid, shy, and panicky- but more panicky than probably even a regular Sobble. Just about everything scares him, whether it be thunder and lightning, scary Pokemon, or even the idea of being caught by a Trainer. He's so terrified of the world around him that the vast majority of his time on-screen is spent either bawling his eyes out, shaking, or having full-blown panic attacks, which is very, very often. However, he does have two fellow teammates he can turn to for comfort: Elton, who is his partner and main cheerleader, and Geddy, who serves as his primary caretaker, comforting him whenever anything scares him. Much like other members of his species, Freddie is often seen crying, but doesn't seem to know he has camouflage powers yet. Freddie is also very self-conscious of himself, often lamenting his lack of confidence and obsessing over his flaws. He can sometimes be worried that other people don't like him, largely due to his shyness and his grippers, which are noticeably smaller than the grippers of other members of his species. Due to this, he has a desperate desire to be loved by people. Despite his timidity, however, Freddie is still a caring and kindhearted Pokemon who does care about his friends and fellow teammates, as seen in the Slumbering Weald when he didn't hesitate to raise his tail up in front of Geddy and Elton to protect them from the killer Scorbunny- even though he was absolutely terrified. Thus far, he hasn't been used in any official battles yet, but the very thought of battling other Pokemon freaks him out, despite Elton encouraging him to try and battle other Pokemon.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: FREDDIE THE SOBBLE. VERY PANICKY AND EXTREMELY FRAGILE. AFRAID OF JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, INCLUDING BATTLES, WEDDINGS, WILD POKEMON, AND LIKELY EVOLUTION. HE IS ELTON'S FOIL, AND APPEARS TO HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH GEDDY. FIGURES; THEIR NAMES RHYME. CRIES VERY OFTEN, AND IS NOT VERY CONFIDENT IN HIMSELF. PART OF ME WANTS TO SEE HIM GET MORE CONFIDENT, AND YET ALSO SOME PART OF ME WANTS TO SEE HIM STAY AS THE SHY AND ADORABLE CINNAMON ROLL THAT HE IS EVEN AS AN INTELEON. ALSO, I ONLY JUST NOW NOTICED THAT HIS CHAMELEON GRIPPERS ARE SMALLER THAN THOSE OF A REGULAR SOBBLE'S. I WON'T SAY ANYTHING, OF COURSE."

Trivia

• According to Goldenheart388, Freddie's character theme is "Somebody to Love" by Queen, and his Broadway character theme is "Being Alive" from Company.
