- Human Achievements (Ethan is a decent Pokemon Trainer, having already gotten two gym badges on his journey)
- Psychological Resilience (Ethan is able to enter areas full of dead bodies without psychologically breaking[1], seeing a body torn in two halfs[1])
- Supernatural Protection (While not outright stated it is likely that Ethan is protected by Celebi. Earlier scenes note how Ethan somehow made it through Ilex Forest without running into a single undead which Dave notes is impossible as Ilex Forest is filled with zombies[1], which is further shown in the prequel Pokemon Dusk Chronicles: Dave[6]. In the best ending, Celebi sends Ethan back in time to a world where the zombie plague never happened[7])
- Healing (With Berry, regenerates 5 HP for Brando[1]. With Potion, heals 10 HP for Brando[1])
- Purification (With Antidote, cures Brando of the poison status effect[1])
- Undead Physiology if killed without damage to the brain (It's noted by Professor Elm that every single person and Pokemon in the country is infected regardless of whether they were bitten or not, so if they die they will turn into a zombie[1])

In the middle of his Pokemon journey, Ethan makes it through Ilex Forest with Brando, wanting to find a Pokemon Center in Goldenrod City. Upon reaching Goldenrod City, the Pokemon Center is strangely closed, Ethan questions why this is before going forward to try to ask someone for help. He comes across a woman acting strangely with blood on her, coming closer to him. Before she can reach him, she his shot by a man with sunglasses, Ethan questions the man for why he did this before passing out and waking up in a safe house. Ethan learns that all of Goldenrod has been hit with a massive plague, turning people into the undead, and that to survive in the city he needs to use his Brando to fight his way through the zombies and find potential ways to get out of the city. It is eventually revealed by Whitney that the reason for the plague is due to Team Rocket using the Goldenrod Tower to enhance the waves of an artifact causing the infection to spread all across Johto. |

This can even work in situations of type disadvantages[4]. Elemental Attacks can allow Pokemon to take down far larger Pokemon overtime causing massive earthquakes[5])

- Fire Manipulation (Quilava naturally has fire around its back. Can shoots out a fire attack with ember[1])
- Non-Standard Damage (Just like how Water Gun is considered a special attack[8], ember & flamethrower should also be considered a special attack. This is further proven as during the infected Golem fight, Melee attacks won't work and only ember and flamethrower can[8]).

- Disease Manipulation & Zombification (Brando can take bites and scratches from the infected[1], with it being acknowledged that if Brando misses attacks the zombie will attack them[1], without turning into a zombie.

In the bad ending where Brando dies due to its wounds[9] it only comes back as a zombie a long while after the plague is mostly gone[9])

Notable Techniques
Scratch
A physical attack used by Brando against the zombies, it causes knockback when the opponent is hit[1].
Slash
This technique was found through a TM that was in between the heart pills given to Walter[1].
It deals double damage against enemies[1].
Ember
A special attack used by Brandoa gainst the zombies, it is a ranged attack that does not cause knockback[1].
Flamethrower
This technique is taught to Brando by Harold as he used to be a firebreather[1]. This attack can actually knockback enemies and deals double damage[1].
Other
Standard Tactics: Ethan utilizes Brando to fight against enemies, standing behind Brando while letting Brando lead the way[1]; if Brando at all dies/is fainted, then Ethan effectively has no battle strategies left and will lose himself[1].
Weaknesses
- Ethan Weaknesses: Ethan effectively cannot fight against the zombies if Brando dies[1]. If Ethan's voice cannot come out, he cannot give commands to Brando[1]. Ethan has a hard time sleeping due to the apocalypse[1] constantly having nightmares while trying to sleep[1].
- Brando Weaknesses: Brando cannot use attacks one after the other[1], Brando needs to wait for the blue "PP" bar to be full again[1], which an in-universe thing would simply be Brando needs a quick rest before he can throw out the next attack[1]. Brando can only attack if given orders to, such as when a Rocket Grunt was choking Ethan to death and it did not attack until Ethan commanded Brando to[1].
Explanations
The Infection
The infection is a disease that spread across Johto due to the incompetence of Team Rocket.
The infection was caused by an artifact which Team Rocket stole[1]. Team Rocket read the text saying "The power to make everyone weak-willed and dangerous" and interpreted this as they would be able to mind control people[1].
Team Rocket raided the Goldenrod City Radio Tower to link up the artifact to the radio tower and spread its waves across all of Johto[1].
These effects started reviving recently deceased humans and Pokemon[1].
It's noted by Professor Elm that every single person and Pokemon in the country is infected regardless of whether they were bitten or not, so if they die they will turn into a zombie[1].
Trivia
- While the game is effectively assuming Ethan went throught he saame journey as he does in game, there are some minor inconsistencies with the game.
- For one, Ethan notes he got out of the Ilex Forest[1], but his Quilava does not know Cut. Cut is needed to progress through the Ilex Forest[10].
- For two, Ethan is surprised to see an egg hatch, stating it's his first time seeing an egg hatch[1]. When in canon Elm calls him to tell him about the Pokemon egg they discovered and has an AIDE give it to Ethan to carry.
