May's Beautifly (Japanese: ハルカのアゲハント Haruka's Agehunt) was the second Pokémon acquired by May in her travels through Hoenn, and the first she caught in the wild.

History

While watching a Rustboro City Pokémon Contest in All Things Bright and Beautifly, May saw a Trainer's Beautifly perform and decided that she wanted one. In the next episode, All in a Day's Wurmple, May caught a Wurmple, as did Jessie. Several episodes later, in Which Wurmple's Which?, both Wurmple were temporarily switched, but were returned to their proper Trainers by the episode's end.

In the episode A Corphish Out of Water, May's Wurmple evolved into Silcoon while Jessie's evolved into Cascoon; Jessie believed hers was a Silcoon as well.

Four episodes later, in Seeing is Believing!, Jessie's Cascoon evolved into Dustox, while May's Silcoon evolved into Beautifly.

In the episode That's Just Swellow, May used Beautifly as her Pokémon in a PokéRinger competition. James, using Dustox, defeated Beautifly in the competition, but Dustox eventually succumbed to a last-minute defeat when Ash's Taillow evolved into a Swellow.

Before heading off to the Battle Frontier, May left her Beautifly at her home in Petalburg City. It returned temporarily in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, and was seen again in A Full Course Tag Battle!. Beautifly was used in the Wallace Cup, defeating Zoey's Glameow.

Personality

As a Wurmple, it would gorge itself on food and then fall asleep, unlike Jessie's more sedate and well-behaved Wurmple. When it evolved to both its latter stages, however, it became more calm and mellow.

Moves used

Moves Improvised

• Psychic Power-Up was first uses in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing! Beautifly uses Psychic to power-up a move making it faster and powerful like Combusken's Fire Spin or Skitty's Blizzard.

Trivia

• In a similar fashion to Misty's Corsola fascination in the Whirl Islands and Ash fishing a Corphish a couple of episodes before catching their own, May had had a Beautifly fascination and later got one. This is later followed by Dawn wanting to catch a Buneary before actually catching her own.
• May's Beautifly seems to be a parallel to Dawn's Buneary:
  • Both were their Trainers' first capture.
  • Both were used in the battle round of their first Pokémon Contest.
  • Both were desired by their Trainer after first seeing another one.
  • Both were used in a different kind of Pokémon Contest (Beautifly in the PokéRinger competition and Buneary in the Hearthome Collection).
  • Both were used in the battle round of the Wallace Cup once.
• May's Beautifly also seems to parallel Ash's Butterfree, as a first capture and a Butterfly Pokémon. However, whether this is intentional is unknown.
• Beautifly is May's only Pokémon that is not a Starter Pokémon in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
• Despite weighing over 62 lbs., Beautifly has been seen landing on May's head without any ill effects, similar to Ash and Hippopotas.
• Beautifly is May's only Pokémon with an even gender ratio.
