Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
AG110 Luvdisc May's Pokédex Luvdisc, the Rendezvous Pokémon. Luvdisc group together during breeding season, covering the surface of the ocean in a brilliant pink.

In the manga

Wallace has a Luvdisc nicknamed Elizabeth in Pokémon Special. She's usually shown out of her Poké Ball, floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, apparently, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a Lileep and Anorith to test Ruby's worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top contest Pokémon (excluding Mimi) in an unofficial contest in a matter of minutes.

Trivia

  • Luvdisc's Template:Shiny2 colors may be a reference to having a Heart of Gold, which signifies a person or being completely without malice, whose nature is loving or caring.
  • In the games, Luvdisc has an orange-pink tint, while in the anime and its official art, Luvdisc appears more reddish-pink.
  • Luvdisc is considered by many fans to be a novelty Pokémon due to the fact that it generally has very weak stats, and a very poor movepool. However, it is still desired to be caught by players because of its wild held item, Heart Scale, which can be used to teach Pokémon previously forgotten moves.

Origin

Luvdisc is based on the discus fish and certain other species of fish that appear to kiss each other (such as the kissing gourami).

Name origin

Lovecus is a combination of love and discus. Luvdisc is a play on luv (probably meaning love) and discus.
