Petrel serves as a Team Rocket Executive within the Pokémon universe. Stationed in Mahogany Town's control room during an infiltration by Lance and Ethan, he coordinates base security and deploys subordinates against the intruders. When Lance reaches the control room, Petrel confronts him directly, sending out his Weezing to attack with Poison Gas. Lance's Dragonite counters with Thunderbolt, swiftly defeating both Petrel and Weezing. Incapacitated by the attack, Petrel remains helpless while Dragonite destroys the control room equipment. This destruction frees captive Electrode forcibly powering radio wave generators; the liberated Electrode retaliate by electrocuting Petrel with Thunderbolt. Petrel possesses bright purple hair styled with a prominent curl, a short purple beard, and matching eyebrows. He wears the standardized Team Rocket Executive uniform: a black jumpsuit accented with gold-yellow lines and a large chest emblem, silver-gray gloves and boots featuring red stripes, and a silver belt. In broader media, such as the games *Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver*, Petrel is characterized as Team Rocket's "master of disguise," impersonating figures like Giovanni and the Goldenrod Radio Tower director. His personality is comparatively mild-mannered for a Team Rocket Executive; he willingly divulges operational details like passwords and hostage locations while considering himself a "nice guy" who underestimates opponents, inadvertently contributing to Team Rocket's operational failures.
