Fearow's first appearance was the [[EP001|first episode of the anime]], where it appeared as a {{p|Spearow}}. It attacked Ash and Pikachu after Ash threw a rock at it. Its second and final appearance was in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', where it was shown to have evolved into a Fearow. It battled against Ash's Pidgeotto, who soon evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}, Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks. It was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.

The second recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made three appearances.


After Ash and Pikachu were exhausted from fighting a flock of Spearow, Ash saw a glimpse of Ho-Oh flying over a rainbow. The Pokédex couldn't record the data of Ho-Oh as it was unknown at the time. Since then, it would often fly around.

===Hoenn===
{{main|Jigglypuff (anime)}}
{{Recurring|Hoenn}}
The third recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made the most appearances, is {{an|Jigglypuff}}.
{{Recurring/Body|Dewford Island Loudred|{{OBP|Loudred|recurring}}|[[AG022]], [[AG026]]-[[AG027]], [[AG066]] (flashback)|java=[[Kōichi Sakaguchi]]|enva=[[Darren Dunstan]]}}

{{Recurring/Foot|Hoenn}}


Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. At first it couldn't {{m|sing}}, but that changed once {{an|Brock}} gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Jigglypuff followed the gang throughout their journey until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep.
===Kanto===

{{Recurring/Main|Noland Articuno|{{p|Articuno}}|Noland's Articuno}}
{{Recurring/Main|Solana Deoxys Attack Forme|{{p|Deoxys}}|Deoxys (anime)}}
{{Recurring/Foot|Kanto}}


Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker.

This {{pkmn2|talking}} Slowking lived on [[Shamouti Island]], and was the guardian of the shrine located on the island. He gave {{Ash}} advice on where to find the Ice, Thunder and Fire Spheres. He later praised the [[Team Rocket trio]], upset that no-one saw them being heroes, telling them that their heroic actions [[Breaking the fourth wall|did not go unnoticed]].

{{p|Suicune}} first appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as a form of energy. When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} were lost in a forest, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} sensed something and led the trio to a lake. Suicune was standing on a small island in the lake. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to capture it. However, Suicune ran away towards the direction of [[New Bark Town]] as soon as Ash made an attempt to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Ash and group chased it to New Bark from where they began their [[Johto]] [[S03|adventure]].

{{Recurring/Foot|Alola}}


Suicune appeared once again in the episode, ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. After {{TRT}} had removed a [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]] from {{Ci|Ecruteak}}'s [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a web by using {{m|String Shot}} and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. The bugs even attacked Ash, Misty, Brock, [[Morty]] and [[Eusine]] when they wanted to go to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared, calming down the Pokémon and freeing the Rocket trio as well as the city from the webs of the bugs. Eusine wanted to capture Suicune and sent out his {{p|Alakazam}} to battle it. Alakazam used a {{m|Disable}}, but Suicune easily blocked it with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. It then used {{m|Roar}} to send Alakazam back into its [[Poké Ball]] and fled from the place before Eusine could even react.

{{p|Snubbull}} first appeared in ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'' in the possession of a rich woman named [[Madame Muchmoney]], engaged to another Snubbull named Winthrop. She was not happy with her life of luxury, and preferred playing to pampering and {{an|Brock}}'s [[rice ball]]s to gourmet food. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} helped Madame to realize this, and so she started making changes just for the sake of Snubbull's happiness. However, Snubbull still felt something missing from her life, specifically {{MTR}}'s tail which she loves to bite down on. Thus, Snubbull ran away from home to follow {{TRT}}.

Her final appearance was in ''[[EP175|The Trouble With Snubbull]]'', where she [[evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Granbull}} and returned to her owner, who had been searching for her since she first left.

Lugia first appeared in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' as a silhouette swimming underwater. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} who were clinging on their Pokémon, as they were being dragged into a whirlpool (after another mishap involving {{TRT}}), when it suddenly disappeared, which was followed by Lugia's mysterious silhouette and its strange call.
In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', it appeared when [[Oliver]], Ash, and his friends were playing with the child Lugia, {{jo|Silver}}. Lugia and Silver played with the group underwater.
In ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Lugia looked for the child after it was told that it was kidnapped by some members of Team Rocket. Lugia became enraged after finding out what happened until Ash mentioned that the group will find and rescue Silver. When Lugia found Silver in a cage, it went for the cage. Despite the group warning Lugia not to get closer, the parent Lugia was caught alongside its child.
In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Lugia was taken captive to Team Rocket's base. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} attempt to free it until they got interrupted by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. Their battle accidentally freed the adult Lugia and it went on a rampage until it reunited with Silver. Although doing so, pieces of the ceiling were falling down and Lugia protected Silver and the group with {{m|Safeguard}}. After escaping from Team Rocket's base, Silver stayed with the adult Lugia with Oliver saying goodbye to them both.
====Personality and characteristics====
Lugia is very protective of its {{jo|Silver|child}}, as shown when people it hasn't seen before were near it. Following Team Rocket's attack, Lugia and Silver left, with Silver having to separate from Oliver.

{{p|Wynaut}} is a wild Pokémon who followed {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} around in [[Blackthorn City]]. Even though it followed them everywhere, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} were the only ones to see it.
Wynaut first appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'' where it was briefly seen taking some food from Team Rocket. Wobbuffet only saw it doing so.
In ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'', Wynaut popped its arm out of the bushes while Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Clair]], and {{jo|Liza}} returned to the [[Blackthorn Gym]] for Ash's Gym battle.
While [[Charla]] was about to eat some {{pkmn|food}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Liza provided to her, Wynaut quickly snatched the food from Charla, unbeknownst to her.
In ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. While Team Rocket were spying on Ash and his friends, Wynaut sneaked over and took their snack, putting the blame on Wobbuffet. Wynaut went for Ash's [[badge]]s but Wobbuffet caught Wynaut this time. However, despite doing so, it was unable to tell Team Rocket that Wynaut took the badges. Later, Wynaut met Ash's Bayleef and Noctowl while they were searching for Ash's stolen badges. After finishing the berries Wynaut found, Wynaut went back inside a bush. When Team Rocket attacked {{p|Wooper}} and Bayleef, Wynaut jumped out and {{m|counter}}ed {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} and went back hiding in the bush. After defeating Team Rocket, Wynaut found the Rising Badge that Ash needed and gave it to Bayleef secretly. Wynaut left before Ash found out.
====Personality and characteristics====
Wynaut had a tendency to pop up out of nowhere at random moments, especially in its final appearance ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]'' when it popped out of nowhere and took the case containing Ash's badges (which Team Rocket had stolen from him) away from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} who was guarding the case while its teammates were away. Wobbuffet was very confused and startled to see Wynaut, and panicked even more once Wynaut took the case away just as its teammates came back.
Later on in the episode after the case got open and the badges went all over the place, Ash and his friends as well as {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} searched everywhere for the badges. At first they found seven of them, and then Noctowl and Bayleef set out to find the one they had missed, and that's when they saw Wynaut who gave the badge to them, and then Bayleef called to Ash and gave him back his badge and he thanked her and asked her if it had just been lying on the ground. Bayleef tried to explain to her trainer about Wynaut, but it was already gone, causing both Bayleef and Noctowl to become confused, so Wynaut has a tendency to appear out of nowhere when a Pokémon is nearby and then disappear when people come around, showing that there's a possibility Wynaut either doesn't want to be seen by humans, or just likes playing a little joke leaving those who did see it very confused.

{{p|Loudred}} first appeared in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', where it ran by and stepped on [[Jessie]] when she was climbing up to the next floor or [[Granite Cave]]. In the [[AG023|next episode]], Jessie fell on top of it while it was sleeping when she hastily ran to catch [[Ash's Corphish|whatever was attacking]] {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Loudred then sent her, [[James]] and {{MTR}} flying with an extremely loud {{m|Screech}} attack.
It reappeared again in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', where it was pinched on the ear by Ash's Corphish. Loudred ran around in pain, screeching, causing the {{TP|May|Silcoon}} to fall from {{an|May}}'s arms and roll off, separating it and the other Pokémon that went to its rescue to become separated from their Trainers. Loudred's last appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' where [[Professor Birch]] fell from a {{p|Wingull}}'s nest on to it, waking it from its sleep. Loudred screeched at him before leaving.
====Personality and Characteristics====
Loudred does not like to be disturbed while it's sleeping, which it does most of the time, and this could mean that it's a lazy Pokémon. If it gets disturbed while it's sleeping, it'll become very angry and chase after the person or people that woke it up.

{{p|Spoink}} first appeared in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. It had lost its pearl, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were trying to find it. As it turns out, {{TRT}} had found it and had traded it to the [[Magikarp salesman]] for a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}}. After learning this, the travelers confronted the salesman and demanded he give back the pearl. Team Rocket also demanded he give them the pearl back as well. In the ensuing battle, Spoink's pearl was returned and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.
It made its second, and final, appearance in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. Like the previous time, it had lost its pearl. This time, it was lost in the ocean without any way of retrieving it. But the travelers learned from a scientist named [[Isaiah]] that Spoink's pearls come from {{p|Clamperl}}. Eventually, they found a Clamperl who was willing to give its pearl to Spoink. They said goodbye to Spoink, and it hasn't been seen since that episode.
====Personality and characteristics====
After losing its pearl, Spoink has a habit of using {{m|Psychic}} to move any round objects (and after a while, even not-so-round objects) on its head, including an angry {{p|Electrode}}, much to the dismay of those around it. It developed a friendship with [[Ash's Torkoal]] during its adventures with the group.

{{p|Groudon}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' sleeping in its containment chamber.
In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}}, who became possessed by the Blue Orb, awakened Groudon. It broke out of the chamber and destroyed Team Aqua's ship. Groudon nullified Kyogre's Drizzle with its own Ability, {{a|Drought}}. Groudon fought Kyogre in the ocean. Because of Brock and May's interference with Kyogre, Groudon was able to defeat Kyogre with {{m|Solar Beam}}. After the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky, Groudon went back in a volcano.
====Personality and characteristics====
Groudon's personality is unknown as it was only seen awakened once. However, Groudon may be somewhat helpful, as it awoke in order to stop Kyogre from drowning Monsu Island into the sea.

{{p|Kyogre}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' sleeping in the containment room of Team Magma's ship. It was freed by [[Shelly]] who infiltrated the ship in disguise as a member of Team Magma. After being freed, Kyogre escaped Team Magma's ship and destroyed it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Kyogre was later seen sleeping in its containment chamber on Team Aqua's ship. Kyogre once again escaped after {{TRT}} failed to catch it with their net electrified.
In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Kyogre was out in the ocean near [[Monsu Island]] where its appearance caused a {{a|Drizzle|heavy downpour}} and strong winds. Using the Red Orb, Archie took control of Kyogre where he had it attack [[Lance's Dragonite]] which Dragonite narrowly dodged the attack and then fought [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]]. After Groudon appeared which nullified the weather, Kyogre fought Groudon. Because of the interference with [[May's Beautifly]] and [[Brock's Mudkip]], Kyogre was defeated by Groudon's {{m|Solar Beam}} which separated the orbs from Archie and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Despite Archie being saved by Dragonite, Pikachu fell in the ocean and Kyogre, released from the Red Orb, swam underwater to rescue both {{Ash}} and Pikachu. Kyogre resurfaced with the two and both the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky. With that done, Kyogre returned deep in the ocean.
====Personality and characteristics====
Kyogre's personality is unknown as it was only seen under the control of Archie. However, it is shown to be immensely powerful, causing large storms and almost able to drown [[Monsu Island]]. However, outside of Archie's control, it was shown to save Ash and Pikachu from drowning, which may suggest that it is somewhat helpful.

Deoxys first appeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'' where it emerged from a portal in the sky. As [[Max]] saw Deoxys, he experienced a vision as soon as it went back into a portal.
Later, [[Solana]] investigated a cave as it was where the source of the geomagnetic disturbances that have been going on. She went on her own originally but ended up allowing {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to tag along since she spotted [[Max]] behind some bushes. At the end of the cave, Deoxys emerged from a portal above a meteorite. It ended up battling Ash, his friends, and Solana. Solana tried capturing Deoxys with her [[Capture Styler]] but failed as it had to be in Normal Forme. Everyone finds out from {{MTR}} that Deoxys was in pain. Max climbed up the meteorite with Meowth and Deoxys up there. Deoxys creates a {{m|Safeguard}} around it, Max, and Meowth. Max found out that during the space flight, it was cold and scared. Deoxys then took the two to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|its world]].
In ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'', Deoxys continued telling Max its story. After Ash and the others returned to the cave, Deoxys came out of its world. Everyone evacuated the cave as the meteorite was overloading with energy while Deoxys went back in its dimension. Deoxys emerged from the portal with Max and Meowth still inside. The group had another battle with it in an attempt for Solana to recatch it. During the battle, Meowth and Max were able to escape the alternate dimension. {{AP|Sceptile}} battled Deoxys to get it to change into Normal Forme. Solana used her Capture Styler to capture Deoxys as it was in its Normal Forme and succeeded. Solana has it use {{m|Recover}} to heal itself and then protects the group from the meteorite's strong blast of energy. With the disturbance gone, Deoxys leaves, hoping to visit the planet even more.

It seems to be similar to {{an|Jigglypuff}}, as like Jigglypuff, it is also offended as its listeners fall asleep and it inflates itself in anger.
====Personality and Characteristics====
As stated before, this Marill is very similar to the recurring Jigglypuff as it loves to sing for an audience and gets furious when it's audience falls asleep on it. The only difference between Marill and Jigglypuff is that Jigglypuff scribbles on the audience, whereas Marill uses Tail Whip on the audience.

{{p|Hippopotas}} made his first appearance in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', where {{Ash}}, with the aid of {{ashfr}}, rescued the Pokémon from being trapped upon a high ledge. It was then discovered that Hippopotas was lost and he was separated from the rest of the Hippopotas and Hippowdon. Ash and friends helped Hippopotas find his way back to the herd. Like a few other Pokémon, Hippopotas seemed to like to be carried on top of Ash's head.
[[Jessie]] had trouble saying the Pokémon's species name; she and her {{TRT}} fellows attempted to steal Hippopotas for their boss.
Hippopotas's final appearance was in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' with his father {{p|Hippowdon}}. In this episode, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also wanted to kidnap the Hippo Pokémon but they failed.
====Personality and characteristics====
Hippopotas was shown to be extremely friendly and trusting of Ash and his friends when he first appeared in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'', and the reason is because Ash saved Hippopotas when he was stuck on the ledge of a cliff and then gave Hippopotas some food that he had been trying to reach. After Hippopotas was safe and full Ash and his friends continued on, but stopped when they noticed Hippopotas had been following them, and both Brock and Dawn noticed Hippopotas had taken a liking to Ash. In Hippopotas' next appearance ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]'' Hippopotas met up with Ash and his friends once again after getting separated from his friend {{p|Hippowdon}} and he was really sad showing that Hippopotas loves hanging out with his friends.

===Azelf===

Azelf appeared in spirit form (much like {{p|Mesprit}} did to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'') to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.
Azelf first appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it was the first to be captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]]. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Zekrom appeared once more and caused a thunderstorm. The storm hit Pikachu again and he regained his Electric powers.

{{p|Reshiram}} first appeared in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' in a flashback {{an|N}} had during his time in his [[N's Castle|castle]]. It flew away when the castle was on fire.
It reappeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' in another flashback while N revealed that he was once a member of [[Team Plasma]]. It was revealed that Reshiram was responsible for burning the castle.
Reshiram made another flashback appearance in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.
Reshiram was revived from the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Following the revival, [[Colress]] zapped it with his machine and [[Ghetsis]] took control of it. Because of {{AP|Pikachu}} and Reshiram rebelling against the machine, Colress and Ghetsis lost control of Reshiram. Before Reshiram flies off, N stopped it and said that he always wanted to meet it. N asks Reshiram how it felt when it saw everyone battle against evil in the ruins and silently responded to him by looking at him.
N also asked if it could believe in humans as they believe in Pokémon. The world of truth that Reshiram wants and the ideal world for humans. N tells Reshiram that just like it, he will keep fighting for the ideal world that everyone can live in. Reshiram accepted N's request and flew away peacefully into the sky.
====Personality and characteristics====
Reshiram's personality is largely a mystery as it was only seen in flashbacks and under the control of Ghetsis. However, it appears to have a close association with N, and it is able to effectively commune with him.

{{p|Malamar}} first appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. Unlike most [[wild Pokémon]], this Malamar is an independently evil being who conspires to change the face of [[Pokémon world|the world]]. It hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] who went to investigate at a radio observatory. As a result, she became Madame X. Together, the two went to a dark cave where {{TRT}} were and hypnotized them, save for {{MTR}}, who quickly slashed up his own face with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Ash, his friends, and Meowth arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar cruelly took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. The [[List of Clemont's inventions|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Officer Jenny went back to normal and explained what happened. Malamar revealed that it tricked them into believing that Madame X was a real person and it was using her as its pawn. Malamar also revealed that Madame X's goal of taking over the world was a lie and hopes to reconstruct the world using a mind control machine. Angered at Malamar's lies and dishonesty, Ash, Officer Jenny, and the gang went after Malamar who led them to a room containing the system of great significance. Since everyone saw what Malamar was doing, it destroyed the weapon that it was building and fled.
[[File:Malamar XY054.png|thumb|250px|left|Malamar with its two fellow Malamar]]
Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'' where it had recruited two other Malamar in a plan to distort the world using energy crystals. Malamar and the other two hypnotized the top scientists in Kalos to build the energy crystals. Afterwards, they stole three delivery trucks and recklessly drove them with the crystals to the [[Grace Tower]] to get their plan in action. When Team Rocket went to the top of Grace Tower, the Malamar trio spotted them after {{TP|James|Inkay}} became furious at the one particular Malamar for what it did to them previously. Malamar was unable to find the Team Rocket trio after they fled.
Malamar discovered the trio along with Ash, his friends, and the Officer Jenny who it had hypnotized before. The three of them caught Ash, his friends (with the exception of Clemont), [[Jessie]], and Officer Jenny by keeping them frozen in the air through {{m|Psychic}}, leaving Clemont, Meowth, [[James]] and Inkay to save the day. Malamar and the other two were defeated after being subdued by James's Inkay, a group of good Malamar and other wild Inkay who James and Clemont had brought to help, their crystals were deactivated by [[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]. Despite their defeat and Officer Jenny pointing it out, all of the crystals combined into one and the evil Malamar went in them as a method of escape, allowing all three of them to avoid capture, thus destroying any evidence of their plan. Before they left, they claim their heading into the future but swore they will return to fight once more and their plan will succeed someday.
====Personality and characteristics====
Unlike most Pokémon, Malamar is a cruel and evil Pokémon with a mysterious dark past. Though there have been many mischievous, manipulative and misunderstood Pokémon in the series, the wild Malamar are unique for being one of the only to seek world dominion without any known human influence. Malamar had no trouble with its plans for world domination as it hypnotized people and Pokémon to do its bidding. However, Trainers with a strong bond with their Pokémon such as {{Ash}} with {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[James]] with {{TP|James|Inkay}} are able to break free of Malamar's hypnotic control, or by pain as seen in Meowth's case, snapping out of it by {{m|Fury Swipes|scratching}} himself - or others such as Ash - repeatedly in the face. The three evil Malamar are shown to be psychopaths for they showed no signs of remorse, guilt, or redemption after their plans were stopped by Ash and his friends. They're also shown to be very merciless when their leader brainwashed several Pokémon, Ash's friends, Team Rocket, Pikachu and Officer Jenny and forced them to attack Ash and Meowth without any decency or mercy. They even lack the sense of honor and morality when they refused to accept defeat or learn from their previous mistakes.

{{p|Rayquaza}} first appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' where its slumber was disturbed by [[Alain]] and the gang when they excavated a giant megalith. It appears in a fit of rage and violently attacked, fighting against [[Alain]] and [[Steven]] with their [[Alain's Charizard|Mega Charizard X]] and {{shiny}} [[Steven's Metagross|Mega Metagross]], gaining the upper hand before destroying the megalith with {{m|Draco Meteor}}. It then left and returned to the ozone layer.
It reappeared in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' where it stopped a battle between Primal {{p|Kyogre}} and Primal {{p|Groudon}}.
====Personality and characteristics====
Not much was seen of Rayquaza's personality as it was mostly seen in a fit of rage. However, it was shown to stop the violent clash between Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon when the two clashed.

current=[[Kalos Route 14]]|
java1=[[Hitomi Nabatame]]|
}}
Prior to the events of ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Wooper was close friends with a lone {{AP|Goomy}} who lived in [[Kalos Route 14|the wetlands]]. The two were very happy together and often played with the rest of the Pokémon in the wetlands. One day, while Wooper and {{p|Goomy}} were playing together in a lake, the wetlands were invaded by a {{p|Florges}} and her {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} army. During the chaos, Wooper became separated from its friend Goomy as Goomy landed on a fleeing {{p|Swanna}}.
Wooper made its first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' where it got to reunite with Goomy who was now a {{p|Goodra}}. When Goodra, who remembered all the good times it had with it, called loudly for its friends, Wooper recognized its voice and was the first to go find it. When it saw Goodra, it approached Goodra and was happy when Goodra recognized it. The other Pokémon then came out to greet Goodra. Wooper had a happy reunion with Goodra, but this was cut short when Swanna warned then about Florges's arrival.
Florges's army attacked once again. Goodra was able to get Wooper and its friends to fight back, and Goodra bested Florges in the battle. After the fight, when Goodra was recovering from a surprise attack, Wooper stayed with Goodra to watch it recover. During the nighttime, an {{p|Ariados}} kidnapped Wooper, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} while they were sleeping.
In ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', Wooper was placed in a special cage. It saw that Florges was holding her weakened child. Wooper, along with Pikachu and Dedenne tried convincing Florges that {{TRT}} was lying but {{MTR}} cutted them off by accusation. After Ash, {{an|Bonnie}}, and Goodra found and confronted Team Rocket, Florges attempted to attack after hearing the truth but Team Rocket escaped on their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] taking with them the cages containing Wooper, Pikachu, and Dedenne, and the stolen spring water. Wooper was found on the back of Team Rocket's airship. It was freed after {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} accidentally slammed into the panel. After defeating Team Rocket, Goodra placed Wooper on a {{p|Yanmega}} to escape the falling airship.
Wooper was then seen interacting with the other Pokémon after {{p|Floette}} became fully healed. Goodra was then told to stay behind with Wooper and the other Pokémon in the wetlands since it belonged there and it was no longer a Goomy. Thus, it could protect the other Pokémon from future dangers.
Wooper made a brief appearance in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching {{an|Serena}}'s Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Keanan and the other wetland Pokémon.
====Personality and characteristics====
Wooper was a very close friend of a single Goomy and was almost always with it during its time in the wetlands. It appeared to be the closest friend of Goomy, as the two would often happily play together along with the other Pokémon in the wetlands. Much like Goomy, Wooper is very playful and friendly.
Due to it being especially close to Goomy, Wooper was the first to recognize {{AP|Goodra}} when it had returned, now fully evolved. It was also the first to approach it, despite warning from the other Pokémon in the wetlands. It also stayed with Goodra while it was recovering from a surprise attack caused by Team Rocket.

Shortly prior to the events of ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', this [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Flabébé, Floette, and Florges|Blue Flower]] Florges invaded [[Kalos Route 14|the wetlands]] with an army of {{p|Yanmega}}, {{p|Ariados}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, and {{p|Seviper}}. When they arrived near the Pokémon living peacefully, Florges ordered all of her army to attack the Pokémon. A Goomy along with its close friend Wooper ran around panicking, and when the two were seen together, Florges confronted the two as they stared at her in utter fear. Florges then fired a {{m|Moonblast}} at the Goomy, which sent it flying and caused it to land on a fleeing Swanna.
Later, Florges made her first on-screen appearance in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]''. She and her army lived in one corner of the wetlands, while the inhabitants were chased over to a secluded area. In this episode, the same Goomy she attacked returned to the homeland, now a Goodra under the ownership of {{Ash}}. When Goodra called for its friends after remembering the good times it had with Wooper, some of the Pokémon under the ownership of Florges recognized it. They alerted Florges about this, who was sitting in a cave where a spring was. Florges then attacked once again along with her army, and Goodra and its friends confronted it. While Goodra and Florges were leading their respective armies of Pokémon and having a showdown, Florges recognized the Goodra as the same Goomy she attacked before and smirked. Soon, it became a showdown between Goodra and Florges. While the two battled well, Goodra learned {{m|Ice Beam}} and defeated Florges. However, Goodra was struck by a {{m|Psybeam}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}} and fainted, and Florges and her army were able to escape. Back at the cave, it is revealed that Florges is bathing her weakened friend, a {{p|Floette}}, in the spring, and after Team Rocket sees this, they call a temporary truce with Florges. As Florges is given commands by Team Rocket, she order one of her Ariados to kidnap {{AP|Pikachu}}, Dedenne, and Wooper.
In ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', a direct continuation of the previous episode, Goodra, Ash, and Bonnie confront Florges in her cave to rescue their friends. While they confront Florges, she reveals she is taking care of a weakened Floette. Team Rocket later appears and betrays her and decides to take away all of the water in the wetlands. Seeing as Florges's intentions were not truly malicious, Goodra, Ash, and {{an|Bonnie}} ally with Florges and together, they save the Pokémon from Team Rocket's grasp, doing so with the help of the inhabitants as well as Florges's own army, who ally with each other as well.
After Team Rocket is dealt with, Florges helps Goodra restore the wetlands by using Grassy Terrain to restore it while Goodra uses Rain Dance. Florges later sees Floette fully recover in the water, much to Florges's own joy. Floette, happy to have recovered, is grateful to Goodra for saving it. After Ash decides Goodra should stay in the wetlands, Florges and her army make amends with the inhabitants of the wetlands, and they become good friends. Florges, along with her Yanmega, Ariados, Pinsir, Beedrill, and Seviper remain in the wetlands and live peacefully with the rest of the Pokémon.
Florges made a brief appearance in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching {{an|Serena}}'s Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] from [[Gloire City]] along with [[Keanan]] and the other wetland Pokémon.
====Personality and characteristics====
When she first appeared in the wetlands, Florges attacked the Pokémon living there with her army of Bug-types and Poison-types. She appears to be a figure of great authority, as she was seen commanding several Yanmega, Ariados, Pinsir, Seviper, and Beedrill. Her aggressive attacks on the wetlands made her appear to be malicious.
However, it turned out that Florges was only after the spring water, which was said to have a rejuvenating effect on Pokémon, in order to heal her ailing Floette. Seeing this, the wetlands' inhabitants soon made amends with her and she lived peacefully with them along with her army. She appears to be a very caring Pokémon to her Floette, showing much concern over her condition and joy over her recovery. After all ended well, Florges was shown to be friendly, making good friends with the Pokémon in the wetlands.
The reason Florges attacked the Pokémon in the wetlands is because Team Rocket told her that the Pokémon were the reason Floette wasn't healing, keeping her unaware that they were draining the water Floette needed. After learning Team Rocket lied to her, Florges and her Pokémon army switched allegiances and joined up with Ash and Goodra to defeat Team Rocket.

===Zygarde===
[[File:Squishy.png|220px|thumb|[[Squishy]]]]
'''Zygarde''' (Japanese: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a recurring Pokémon character in the anime that first appeared in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', and is a central figure in the ''XY&Z'' arc of the {{series|XY}}. Currently, it is comprised of two major entities, both being pursued by [[Team Flare]].
====Squishy====
{{main|Squishy}}
The first entity, a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|Zygarde Core]] named [[Squishy]] (Japanese: '''プニちゃん''' ''Puni-chan'') currently travelling with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, under the care of {{an|Bonnie}}.  It is known by Team Flare by the code name '''Z1'''. It has a red core.

The other entity, known by [[Team Flare]] by the code name '''Z2''', first appeared in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', where it was attacked by [[Mable]], a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, and their Pokémon. Z2 countered their attacks with {{m|Land's Wrath}}, and escaped its pursuers. It was later seen outside [[Terminus Cave]], watching the sun rise.
It reappeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'' in Core Forme where [[Squishy]] contacted it.
In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Z2 was cornered by Mable, [[Aliana]], and a trio of Grunts under their command. When it tried to escape via camouflage, it was hit by Team Flare's special ray gun, stunning it and disabling its cloaking. To overcome this, Z2 entered 10% Forme and used {{m|Extreme Speed}} to fend off the scientists' {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Druddigon}}, and make its escape. After reverting to its Core Forme, Z2 ran into {{TRT}}, who had recently set their sights on Squishy. Discovering that there were two Cores, the trio tried to capture Z2 themselves, but were stopped by Team Flare. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} protected Z2 from Team Flare's ray gun, which was then destroyed by {{TP|James|Inkay}}. Jessie then used {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}'s {{m|Seed Bomb}} to escape with the Core.
Exhausted from their escape, Team Rocket let Z2 recover by allowing it to take energy from the sun. Soon after recovering, however, they were once again found by Team Flare. Although the trio fought hard, Gourgeist and Inkay were eventually defeated. Left with little options, Z2 transformed into its 50% Forme and fought back with {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and Land's Wrath, overpowering Team Flare's Pokémon. Before Z2 could finish off Team Flare, it was stopped by a {{m|Flamethrower}} from [[Alain's Charizard]]. [[Alain]] and his Mega Charizard X battled against Z2, covering for Mable and Aliana. While able to fend off Charizard, it was eventually surrounded by the two scientists, who proceeded to stun it with full-power blasts from their ray guns and sapping its strength. After blasting away Team Rocket, Z2 was secured by Mable, who deemed the operation a success. Z2 was later seen at [[Lysandre Labs]], glaring at [[Lysandre]].
Z2 reappeared in ''[[XY111|Unlocking Some Respect]]'', where [[Xerosic]] began experimenting on it and in [[XY118]] where Xerosic and Lysandre were observing it.
It reappeared in [[XY119]] where it watched [[Xerosic]] perform an experiment somewhere in a forest, using multiple Zygarde Cells, from the Lysandre Labs, along with Lysandre himself.
It also reappeared in [[XY121]] where it was listening to Squishy talk about Ash and his Greninja.
=====Personality and characteristics=====
Unlike Squishy, Z2 greatly distrusts humans. In ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Z2 suggested that it and Squishy completely seclude themselves from humankind. When Squishy disagreed, Z2 asserted that humans disrupt the order they exist to maintain, and are a threat to [[Kalos]]. It has a blue core, as opposed to Squishy's red core.

==Recurring Pokémon that have been caught==
Six Pokémon that recurred in the anime were later caught, five by {{Ash}} and one by {{an|Clemont}}.
* An {{AP|Aipom}} began following the group through the [[Kanto]] region, and was caught three episodes later by Ash in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. She had a habit of taking [[Ash's hat]] from him making him chase her around, sometimes lowering her eyelid and sticking out her tongue at him when he tried to get it back. She was eventually traded to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' and evolved into an Ambipom in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' under her care.
* Ash also caught a {{AP|Gible}} in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' after helping him to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
* Later on, Ash caught an {{AP|Oshawott}} that followed him from [[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''.
* Ash later caught the {{AP|Sunglasses Krokorok|Krokorok}} (which debuted as a Sandile) that had been following him since ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' in ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]''. He evolved into a Krookodile in ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three]]'' during his battle against [[Iris's Dragonite]].
* Ash also caught a {{AP|Froakie}} in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' that helped save {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}} in [[XY001|the previous episode]]. It evolved into a Frogadier in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge]]'', and then into a Greninja in ''[[XY099|A Festival of Decisions!]]''.
* Clemont caught a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} that was following the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' which he gave to {{an|Bonnie}} to take care of.
