Trivia

• Cheren's rival is Hilbert, as Hilbert is based on the Pokémon Black and White player character.
• Cheren & Stoutland were the last 5★ sync pair to have their sync grid expanded.
• All versions of Cheren use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Hilbert, Hilda, Bianca, Nate, Rosa, Hugh, Alder, and Marshal.
  • Cheren also uses special voice-over lines upon winning a battle with Hilbert, Hilda, Bianca, Nate, Rosa, or Hugh in the same team.

Origin

Cheren's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Stoutland is Cheren's signature Pokémon in Black 2 and White 2. Stoutland's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Moon.

Cheren uses a Purrloin on his team during his second and third battles against the player and a Liepard in all subsequent battles in Pokémon Black and White. Purrloin's Dex entry comes from Pokémon White, and Liepard's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

Cheren is not seen owning a Tornadus outside this game, but it was introduced in Generation V like Cheren was. Tornadus's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Black.
