One of the most notable running gags in the anime is that Brock has a crush on virtually every girl his age or older he meets and is usually met by rejection, confusion, or forced retreat by Misty (and later on, May and Max), often by the ear. A mysterious exception was Professor Ivy, the Pokémon Professor from the Orange Islands, and her three assistants, with whom he spent some time away from the show. He later returns mysteriously but refuses to explain why he left, simply getting queasy at reminiscing about it. Many fans speculate that Brock's apparent love for Professor Ivy simply went unrequited, or worse yet, Professor Ivy simply did not appreciate the work he did for her.

Another one of the notable running gags is how Brock is forced to entertain an audience while other characters retrieve something (typically, a Pokémon that serves as the entertainer) stolen by Team Rocket, in which he does so by repeating one song ad nauseum to the point that he is either booed offstage or loses interest in singing. In Advanced Generation, he is often accompanied by Lombre in such a gag.

Brock is always well-equipped, and is sometimes the voice of reason when Ash and Misty (and later, May) get into an argument. He is also hardworking and is always willing to help others. Coupled with his experiences in taking care of others, Brock often prepares food and does most of the chores for the main characters.

Because of his ambition to be a breeder first and trainer second, Brock is often depicted as an easily beatable trainer, despite being a former Gym Leader. However, he often acts as a judge or coach to other main characters, and in Advanced Generation, offers May and Max insights into what Ash is thinking during some of his gym battles.

Its power varies between episodes, being able to hold its own against stronger Pokémon while being easily knocked out by weak Pokémon. Onix is also depicted as the largest or heaviest Pokémon on any of the main character's teams (prior to Ash acquiring Snorlax), and as such, used as a stepladder or a way to travel fast on rocky surfaces.
• Geodude - One of Brock's Pokémon that he had as a Gym Leader. Geodude is often depicted as a friendly and agreeable Pokémon, and was effectively the first Pokémon (other than Pikachu) that Larvitar opens up to.

• Vulpix - Given to him by Suzie, another Pokémon breeder, Vulpix is a powerful Fire Pokémon that Brock regularly grooms. However, Brock has always considered Vulpix to be Suzie's Pokémon that he is merely "borrowing." He gives it back to her when they meet again.

Among one of its frequently-used attacks is Rapid Spin, which is often used to clear away gases, to dry wet clothes, or to dig pitfall traps.
• Lotad - The first Pokémon that Brock captures in Hoenn, Lotad is an eccentric Pokémon who is constantly dreaming, to the point that it is often completely unaware of what is going on around it. Its arsenal of moves is also unconventional, knowing both Razor Leaf and Water Gun.
