This is Rollo Nickelsen, a steel-type Perrserker and the owner of Nickelsen Training Solutions. He hatched as a wild Meowth in Denmark, was caught and traded to an American trainer, evolved into his current form, and was trained into a top-league battler all before the Liberation. Now he's a fearsome cat with many years of experience behind him, both in battling and in running his own gym.

But he's a nice guy if you talk to him! Perfectly civil and approachable. It's only his opponents in the arena who have to worry.

Rollo represents my effort at an original-flavor redesign of the Perrserker species. The most important thing to remember is that he's a little over four feet tall, not two feet tall. It was just crazy to me that Galarian Meowth would evolve into something that's only as tall as a Meowstic like Nicolaus, when both varieties of Persian are considerably larger.

I've tried a few times to come up with a suitable debut story for this character since I designed him, but only recently did I draft one that really fits the bill. Rollo will have his chance to join the rest of the Plaisir cast soon!
