Hodad Guy

(Japanese: 丘サーファー野郎 Hodad Guy) is a character of the day who appeared in HZ105. He is a man who hangs around beaches a lot, and is familiar with a Gholdengo who frequently shows up at a beach in Paldea. When Liko and Roy visited this beach, Hodad Guy informed them about Gholdengo and its popularity among the locals. When Gholdengo entered the water to surf, Hodad Guy encouraged all the surfers at the beach to go surf with it. Hodad Guy himself did not follow them however, and instead struck a surfing pose on his board at the beach.
