Pokémon/Characters/Diamond

Diamond (ダイヤモンド, Daiyamondo) is a character in the latest series of the Pokémon Special manga in Japan, based on the main male character from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. His appearance is based off the Diamond and Pearl Male character, Lucas. He started out with a Munchlax named Be;. He is twelve years old.

Diamond is a good friend of Pearl and the pair form a Pokémon trainer duo. Though seemingly dim-witted at first and possessing a perpetual habit of eating wherever he goes, Diamond is somewhat smarter than he looks. He stands up to foes in times of distress, and has been shown to be observant in a mishap involving wild Bidoof.

Due to a mix-up, Diamond believes that he and Pearl are on a reality television series; if they successfully escort Ms. Berlitz to Mt. Coronet, they will receive a prize. Berlitz, believing the duo to be her bodyguards, gives them Pokédexes, Pokétches, and starter Pokémon from Professor Rowan. Diamond receives a Turtwig from her and nicknames it Rū. Rū has now evolved into a Grotle.
