Palmer

Palmer has a cameo appearance at the beginning of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, in a battle against Cynthia. He made his debut appearance in Historical Mystery Tour! where he meets up with his son, Barry.

In Challenging a Towering Figure!, a tournament was held in order to see which Trainer was strong enough to battle him. Ash won the tournament and had his battle with Palmer. Even though Ash lost the battle, Palmer still gave him a trophy as recognition for winning the tournament.

Palmer later told Ash about the next Gym being at Sunyshore City and hinted about the Gym Leader of Sunyshore Gym, Volkner.

Palmer has a cameo appearance during the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
