In the anime

Caserin and Luverin

Both Misty and Daisy have a Luvdisc, nicknamed Caserin and Luverin. They acquired the two Rendezvous Pokémon in Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing.

Juan's Luvdisc was first seen in The Great Eight Fate. Then he used it against Ash in the following episode as one of his strongest Pokémon.

In the manga

Wallace has a Luvdisc nicknamed Elizabeth in Pokémon Special. She's usually shown out of her Poké Ball, floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, apparently, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a Lileep and Anorith to test Ruby's worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top contest Pokémon (excluding Mimi) in an unofficial contest in a matter of minutes.

Trivia

• Luvdisc's shiny colors may be a reference to having a Heart of Gold, which signifies a person or being completely without malice, whose nature is loving or caring.

Origin

Luvdisc is based on the discus fish and certain other species of fish that appear to kiss each other (such as the kissing gourami).

Name origin

Lovecus is a combination of love and discus. Luvdisc is a play on luv (probably meaning love) and discus.
