Jacq

Jacq is a supporting character in the Pokémon anime, specifically appearing in Pokémon Horizons: The Series. He serves as a biology teacher (and homeroom teacher) at Naranja Academy in the Paldea region.

In the anime version, he's portrayed as a laid-back, quirky, and somewhat eccentric teacher with a brilliant mind for Pokémon biology and ecology. He's friendly, approachable, and considerate toward his students, though he has a slightly airheaded side and can get deeply absorbed in his research or observations to the point of distraction.

He has a disheveled, casual professor vibe: often seen in a long white lab coat (sometimes stuffed with books and pens), a purple striped shirt, relaxed joggers, and sandals. His appearance includes messy dark hair with a lavender streak and thick-rimmed glasses (with one lens notably distinct or covered in some depictions).

In the series, he interacts with students like Liko and Roy, assigning them tasks related to observing and reporting on wild Pokémon during their travels, and he's involved in academy events. He's also tied to Pokémon research, similar to his game counterpart (including contributions like Pokédex-related work), but the anime emphasizes his relaxed and supportive personality in a school setting.
