James's Carnivine
James's Carnivine (Japanese: コジロウのマスキッパ Kojiro's Muskippa) was the first Pokémon that James obtained in the Sinnoh region. Its Japanese voice actor is 阪口大助 Daisuke Sakaguchi.
James originally caught Carnivine long before its first appearance in DP002. In this episode, Team Rocket went to a vacation home belonging to James's parents, and James found Carnivine's Poké Ball among a collection of bottlecaps. He then decided to bring Carnivine with him.
Carnivine continues the series' running gag of James's Grass-type Pokémon showing affection for him by biting his head whenever they are released from their balls. This affection is probably due to the fact that James and Carnivine shared a close bond when James was a child.
Since James found it, Carnivine has taken Cacnea's place as his main battling Pokémon. It seems to be a strong battler.
