Dave is Kimberly Bond's Dubwool, and the tenth Pokemon she caught on her journey, as well as her fifth to be acquired in the Galar region.

Personality

On the surface, Dave seems to be the antithesis of all stereotypes surrounding Wooloo and Dubwool, being headstrong, a bit arrogant, and slightly profane, constantly throwing around the word "bloody" and tons of other Irish/Scottish slang insults. When Kim first caught him, he proclaimed himself to be the "strongest Wooloo on Route 2," being Lvl 12. Even after his evolution, he's quite proud of it. However, in reality, while Dave's tough exterior is absolutely genuine, he has a strong dislike for battling other Pokemon. Instead, he much prefers to tackle down trees in order to increase his strength-- upon making it to Route 7, he eagerly tackled down every tree in the area, which eventually lead to him both learning a new move (Headbutt) and his evolution into a Dubwool. He's just as much of a pacifist as all the other members of his species, but he is absolutely not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. He has a very strong sense of justice and believes that battling other Pokemon would cause them nothing except pain and suffering-- instead, his preferred method of battling is through a battle of wits, rather than straight-up using physical moves on Pokemon. He's tried- and is deliberately pulling punches. Despite his pacifistic nature, however, Dave won't hesitate to call out others for what he perceives as wrong behavior- and very loudly, for that matter. After his evolution into a Dubwool, none of Dave's personality has changed a bit, and he's still very much as profane, headstrong, and proud of himself as ever.

He has a very thick Scottish/Irish accent, befitting his namesake (see "Trivia").

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: DAVE THE WOOLOO. HE CLAIMS TO BE STRONG IN COMBAT, BUT REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANY POKEMON GET HURT. AS SUCH, HE ATTACKS THEM WITH AS LITTLE POWER AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. HIS MAIN BATTLE STRATEGY? WITS AND SNARK, AND IN THAT REGARD HE'S MORE OR LESS LIKE AN IRISH- ER, SCOTTISH?- VERSION OF REVER. WONDER HOW HE'LL SEE USE IN BATTLE AGAINST ALLISTER WHEN I USE HIM... UNLESS I CATCH MYSELF A DARK-TYPE..."
