Iris's Axew (Japanese: アイリスのキバゴ Iris's Kibago) is the first Pokémon that Iris was known to have. He debuted alongside his Trainer in In The Shadow of Zekrom!.

History

Axew upon meeting Iris for the first time

Axew is the first Pokémon that Iris is known to have obtained, although it was then revealed to be her second. She obtained Axew from the matriarch of her hometown when Axew was just a few days old. She was given the task of journeying with Axew in order to help raise it into a great Haxorus.

Axew was the first Pokémon that Ash scanned with his new Pokédex in Enter Iris and Axew!, though he was actually aiming it at Iris's hair and wondering why Axew looked nothing like what the Pokédex showed. Axew appears to be a friendly Pokémon, making quick friends with Ash's Pikachu. They are shown to have a strong relationship such as in A Sandile Gusher of Change! where a Sandile had caught him in its jaws, Iris tried everything to get it out.

In Triple Leaders, Team Threats!, Cilan tells the two that Iris and Axew have perfect compatibility. He also adds that Axew is a rather rare Pokémon. In Dreams by the Yard Full! it was revealed through the Dream Mist that Axew wants to evolve to his final stage, unlike most of the other walking Pokémon in the anime.

In The Bloom Is on Axew!, it was shown that Axew has not had much experience in battling, crying when he was hit by weakened attacks from Cilan's Pansage; however, he was shown to be able to produce an extremely powerful Dragon Rage that can cause massive destruction, but is uncontrollable and has a tendency to explode in all directions rather than beam at a specific target as is meant to. Both Ash and Cilan playfully refer to it as a "Dragon Sneeze", much to Iris's annoyance.

In Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!, Axew seemed excited about Ash's Pokémon egg being ready to hatch; so much so that he accidentally sends it rolling down a hill. After it hatches into Scraggy, Axew becomes afraid of it after seeing how aggressive it was with the other Pokémon. Even so, he kept his eye on it and was the first to notice that it ran off in the middle of the night. Axew assisted Iris in finding a plant that would help Scraggy recover after it was paralyzed by a wild Galvantula. The next day when Scraggy felt better, Axew battled it. Both Pokémon ended up knocking each other out thanks to another failed Dragon Rage. The two have another battle in Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!, however it is stopped after Axew attempts, again, to use Dragon Rage.

In BW027, when fighting Team Rocket alongside Pikachu and Amy's Druddigon, Axew finally mastered Dragon Rage, sending out a stream of energy instead of exploding right on the spot, defeating Team Rocket.

In BW033, Axew battled Langley's Beartic briefly, but was defeated even with Dragon Rage.

Like Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup, Axew appears to prefer being outside of his Poké Ball (if Axew even has a Poké Ball), but unlike them, he likes to travel inside Iris's long hair, while Pikachu and Piplup usually go on their Trainer's shoulder.

Personality

Though lacking superior battle skills, Axew makes up for it with a kind personality as mentioned by Cilan. If Iris feels sad, he will go off to collect fruit in order to cheer her up. Axew is also somewhat of a pacifist and often hides or panics when the other Pokémon who accompany him start to fight each other. Though he has been shown to have some childish traits, such as in Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!, where he fought Pikachu when he thought Pikachu was the one who ate all the food.

Axew will often express concern for other Pokémon. In BW024, he was grateful when an Emolga stopped his apple from rolling down a hill and wanted to share some of it with her. When she left after being smothered by Bianca, he was desperate to find her again.
