Personality
Diesel tends towards the down-to-earth, and is frequently the one to snap Ever or Breeze out of their stranger moments. However, he's also utterly obsessed with music, to the point of exerting a borderline dictatorial influence over Ever's choice in captures. He's also quite literal-minded, taking most statements at face value.
Abilities In Battle
As a Kricketune, Diesel doesn't have much by way of movepool. However, what he does have he makes good use of. A decent range of differently-typed cutting attacks allow him to strike for massive damage on most types, and when all else fails a Sing attack will frequently be used to put the opponent in a more agreeable state.
Known Moves:
- Sing, Slash, False Swipe, Perish Song, Giga Impact
- X-Scissor, Silver Wind, Bug Buzz, Fury Cutter
- Night Slash
- Aerial Ace
- Brick Break

Type | Move | Acquisition | Performance | ??? | Notes |
Sing | Natural | ★★★★★ | – | Diesel doesn't use this move in battle much, but is adept in its use in other scenarios. | |
X-Scissor | Natural | ★★★★ | – | Used as go-to physical attack. | |
Silver Wind | TM | ★★★ | – | While not Diesel's most powerful attack, it is very useful for quick self-buffing. | |
Bug Buzz | Natural | ★★ | – | Diesel hates this move since it sounds awful, but uses it sometimes when a more powerful ranged move than Silver Wind is necessary. | |
Giga Impact | TM | ★ | – | While powerful, Diesel uses this move exclusively as a finisher. | |

History
Diesel was caught on Route 202, when Ever stopped to eat lunch and Diesel stole it. After this, when Ever attempted to continue towards Rowan's Lab to get a starter, Diesel blocked the way and forced Ever to begin his Pokemon journey. This has set the tone for their relationship over the years.
