One of Steve's two Rocket obtained starters. Steve's overuse of the word 'buttsnack' resulted in this once Mudkip responding to it as though it were his name. Buttsnack is stern with Steve. He's a little bossy, but not too mean. He currently feels reluctantly fond of his trainer. He saw him as a chore at first, but although he still feels very loyal towards Team Rocket he does like Steve. Secretly. He does his best to strike the right balance of keeping him on track without making him totally miserable, but since evolving into Swampert he comes off as much more intimidating. He does try to come off friendlier as a sort of 'public persona' when around non-Rockets. Steve doesn't distinguish between his team for Rocket or general purposes, so he does his best to appear more relaxed when not on business. He isn't necessarily the best at it though.

He held back on evolving for a while to avoid freaking Steve out (Buttsnack's noticed he can be a touch dramatic), and learn moves he'd miss out on if he evolved too soon. Despite this, he's still annoyed at Beaky for upstaging him and evolving before he did. Twice.

He wants to be the strongest Pokémon he can be, and knows Steve isn't smart enough to strategize effectively, so he tries to play the role of leader. Unfortunately, not all of Steve's Pokémon listen to him as much as he'd like. He's also pretty resentful of Steve's obvious favoritism when it comes to Bessie.

Now he's level 100, he reluctantly allows other Pokémon take his spot on Steve's team in the name of allowing others to be strong enough to be a good asset for Team Rocket. That is, so long as Steve remembers to update him between towns and include him on Rocket missions. He gets grumpy if Steve neglects to comply with either of these things.
