Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a dual-type Psychic/Grass legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It serves as the guardian of Ilex Forest, and is only able to be caught from the wild in Pokémon Crystal with an event activated by the GS Ball.
Celebi is the last Pokémon in the Johto Pokédex and Hoenn Pokédex, although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.
Biology
Physiology
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round toe-less feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back. It has large baby-blue eyes, similar to that of Mew, with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.
Gender differences
Celebi is genderless, but a shiny one is referred to as female in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
Special abilities
Celebi's main ability is the power to travel through time. Celebi also can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to Meganium). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful Grass and Psychic attacks.
Behavior
Celebi, like Mew, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, not wanting to show themselves despite their power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine exactly how many Celebi exist. Celebi also is very protective of itself, others and its home. For this reason, it has been referred to by some as a guardian of the forest. Celebi has also been shown to have the power of bringing the dead back to life.
Habitat
Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and voice of the forest.
Diet

Celebi feed on berries.
In the anime
Major appearances
Celebi first appeared in Celebi: Voice of the Forest. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking young Sam along with it accidentally. The Iron-Masked Marauder eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a Dark Ball and used it to destroy the forest. Ash and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.
Celebi appeared in a central role again in Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark. Grings Kodai was after the Pokémon in order to restore his ability to see the future, which he got on a previous encounter with it.
Other
Celebi also made an appearance in Pokémon Chronicles. In Celebi and Joy, Celebi took Ritchie back in time to help stop the destruction of a Pokémon Center.
In The Green Guardian, the Pokémon Ranger Solana accompanied Ash and friends in helping the Pokémon.
Minor appearances
A Celebi appeared in the boss fantasy of A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine.
Celebi makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of The Rise of Darkrai.
A Celebi appeared in another fantasy in An Egg Scramble!.

In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures, Pryce aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two Lapras, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga. He failed numerous times throughout his reign (lacking a GS Ball that would allow him to properly capture it), and would injure himself on each day of the month in which Celebi would show itself in the Ilex shrine, so Green and Silver took this opportunity to steal his Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing items and escape.
Near the end of the RS Saga, Ruby is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from Maxie and Archie, to prevent them from ever controlling Groudon and Kyogre again. Then, it revived Norman, Steven, and Courtney by sending them through an altered future. It left Ruby's side right afterwards, and upon waking up two days later and glancing into the now-empty Poké Ball that once contained the time-traveling Pokémon, Ruby realizes that this was the reason Celebi was with him the whole time.
In the TCG

Other appearances
When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
- Unlock all 25 characters
- Unlock all 29 stages
- Beat all 51 events
- Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs)
It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Trivia
- Celebi is the mascot of Serebii.net.
- Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 Generation II Pokémon that wasn't used in the Johto Pokérap.
- In a deleted scene of the movie Austin Powers in Goldmember, a person in a Celebi suit can be seen dancing.
- Celebi is notably the hardest Pokémon to obtain, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside of Japan.
- Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Snover, and Abomasnow, all of which are part Grass-type.
- Unlike most legendaries, Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with Mew and Shaymin.
- During the main story of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Celebi is referred to as a female, while it is genderless in the main series.
- A 2008 interview done with Masamitsu Hidaka by the webmaster of PokéBeach revealed that the GS Ball was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea, however, was shelved, and Celebi became a co-star of Celebi: Voice of the Forest with Suicune.
- Celebi's number in the National Pokédex and the New Pokédex are the same: 251. This makes it one of fifteen Pokémon to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing. The other fourteen are all members of the Bulbasaur, Ralts, Goldeen, and Beldum evolutionary families and the legendary beasts.
Origin
Celebi has a natural theme.[1] It may be based on a fairy, dryad, or the kodama. Its fierce protectiveness for its forest home resembles that of of the Curupira. It may have been based on the Dr. Seuss story, The Lorax. The story is about a small creature, known as the Lorax, who spoke for the trees and tried to protect them as well as the environment from being destroyed by industrialization. It has a feminine, fairy-like appearance, as well as a color scheme that is very similar to Disney's Tinker Bell.
Name origin
There are many theories as to the origin of Celebi's name. It may be a combination of celestial and being, or it may be a combination of the English serenity and the Japanese bii, which translates to beautiful.
There is also the possibility its name originates from "cerebral", referring to its psychic powers.
It may have orginated from from earth goddess Cybele.
