A '''nickname''' (Japanese: '''ニックネーム''' ''nickname'') is a name given to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by its Trainer.

In addition to the games, nicknamed Pokémon have also appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}} and several {{pkmn|manga}} series.

==In the core series games==
===Setting nicknames===
====Initial nickname====
{{incomplete|section|needs=All instances in which the player is given the opportunity to nickname a Pokémon after receiving it}}
In all [[core series]] games except [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the player is given the option to nickname their Pokémon immediately after obtaining them: upon catching a Pokémon, receiving a Pokémon as a gift from an NPC, or hatching a Pokémon from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. In [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX|IX]], the player can disable being prompted to nickname Pokémon in the settings menu. However, in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, if the player catches a Pokémon that is not in the [[Paldea]], [[Kitakami]], or [[Blueberry Academy|Blueberry]] [[Pokédex]]es (such as [[regional form]]s available through [[Poké Portal News]] events), they are not given the opportunity to nickname it immediately. This is due to the nickname prompt appearing while the Pokémon's Pokédex entry is displayed, so if the Pokémon has no Pokédex entry, the nickname prompt is also skipped.

In some games, the player receives a Pokémon but is only given the opportunity to set its nickname after some amount of gameplay:
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, the player cannot nickname their [[first partner Pokémon]] when they first take it from Professor Birch's bag; instead, they are given the opportunity to give it a nickname after returning to [[Professor Birch]]'s lab.
* In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, the player cannot nickname their [[first partner Pokémon]] when they first receive it; instead, they are given the opportunity to give it a nickname after showing it to [[Professor Rowan]] in [[Sandgem Town]]. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, this is because the player initially took the Pokémon from a suitcase to defend themselves from a wild Starly.
* In Pokémon Black and White, the player cannot nickname their [[first partner Pokémon]] when they first receive it; instead, they are given the opportunity to give it a nickname after showing it to [[Professor Juniper]] within her lab.
* In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, the player cannot nickname a [[Shadow Pokémon]] when it is [[Snagging|snagged]]; instead, the player is given the opportunity to nickname the Pokémon when it is [[purification|purified]].

====Changing nicknames====
In most games, the player can change a Pokémon's nickname by taking it to the [[Name Rater]]. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, Legends: Arceus, [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]], a Pokémon can be given a nickname or have its nickname changed at any time on its [[summary]] screen.

If the player is a Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]], they can change or give it a nickname. To validate this, the game checks the Original Trainer's name, [[gender]] (Generation V onward), [[Trainer ID number]], Secret ID number (Generation III onward), and the Pokémon's [[language of origin]] (Generation VIII onward, except in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]])—except in [[Generation IV]], in which only the Trainer ID is checked. Starting in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the player cannot change the nicknames of any Pokémon met in a [[fateful encounter]].

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], Scarlet, and Violet, the player can also give a nickname to an unnicknamed [[outsider Pokémon]], as long as the Pokémon's language of origin is the same as the current Trainer's game language—and starting in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, if it was not met in a fateful encounter. However, once an outsider Pokémon is given a nickname this way, it becomes a nicknamed Pokémon, so its name cannot be changed without trading it back to its Original Trainer.

===Entering nicknames===
{{main|Text entry}}
In Generation I to V, nicknames have a maximum length of 10 characters in Western languages and 5 characters in Japanese and Korean. Starting in Generation VI, nicknames have a maximum length of 12 characters in Western languages and 6 characters in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Generation VII onward).

These characters are in turn limited by the character palette of the game's [[text entry]] system, which varies between game languages. The characters available have expanded over the generations: for example, numbers were not available to be added to nicknames in Generation I, while later generations allow them. Originally, Pokémon games always used a proprietary text encoding system; however, games released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] or mobile use that system's native text-entry system.

In Generation I, a name consisting of only spaces can be used. In subsequent generations, submitting such a name is treated as exiting without entering a nickname; if such a name is submitted, a newly obtained Pokémon will use its species name, and a Pokémon at the [[Name Rater]] will keep its current name.

From Generation V onward, the game will recognize when a nickname contains inappropriate text, and will not allow the player to use this as a nickname. The Generation V games contain an internal [[List of censored words in Generation V|list of censored words]] which only censors case-insensitive matches. From Generation VI onward, the game system ([[Nintendo 3DS]] or [[Nintendo Switch]]) has its own built-in [[List of censored words|profanity filter]] which is used instead; these filters use {{wp|regular expression}}s to censor a wide range of attempts to circumvent it. If a Pokémon transferred via [[Poké Transporter]] has a nickname that would not be permitted to be entered in Generation V (when transferring from a Generation V game) or on the Nintendo 3DS system (when transferring from a Generation I or II game), the Pokémon's nickname is removed and it uses its species name instead.

In Generation V, nicknames the player enters can only contain up to 4 numeric characters. From Generation VI onward, nicknames the player enters can only contain up to 5 numeric characters. However, Pokémon transferred from previous generations can violate these limits, and their names will not be changed upon transfer.

In [[Generation V]] and {{gen|VII}}, tapping the Pokémon's sprite on the nickname screen replaces the currently entered text with the Pokémon's species name. In Generation VI, this replaces the currently entered text with the Pokémon's current nickname, or its species name if it has not been nicknamed.

===Displaying nicknames===
[[File:Gen III nickname limit.png|frame|Comparison of the same English Mewtwo in Japanese and English Generation III games]]
{{incomplete|section|needs=Details on the specific battle modes and competitions during which nicknames are hidden}}
In the [[Generation III]] games, a Pokémon named in a Western game traded to a Japanese game will have its name rendered in {{wp|Halfwidth and fullwidth forms|fullwidth}} characters, making it impossible to display the full name if it is longer than five characters.

In the 1.0 release of the English versions of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the nickname flag of Japanese Pokémon is not set when they evolve, so the Pokémon's species name will be adjusted accordingly (e.g. {{p|Pichu}}'s Japanese species name is {{j|ピチュー}} and the player nicknames it {{j|ＰＩＣＨＵ}}, then trades it to an English version and evolves it, causing its name to become PIKACHU). However, since the English games still render the name in the Japanese font, an evolved Japanese Pokémon that has a name longer than five characters will cause a crash while attempting to load the [[Party|Pokémon List]] or send it out to battle (in the aforementioned case, the game will try to render it as {{j|ＰＩＫＡＣＨＵ}} instead of PIKACHU). This was fixed in the 1.1 release by adding an additional check to the name function used during [[Evolution]] so that the Japanese Pokémon's name is not altered, effectively treating it as if it were a nickname. The European releases and subsequent Generation III games also have this check.

From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the same font is used for all Pokémon names regardless of the Pokémon's language of origin. In [[Generation IV]], Pokémon with nicknames deemed "inappropriate" may show up in [[Battle Video]]s as Pokémon without a nickname (i.e. a {{p|Staraptor}} named inappropriately would have its nickname reverted to "STARAPTOR"). It is unknown if this censoring was automatic or done on a case-by-case basis by employees. From [[Generation V]] onward, there is instead a [[List of censored words in Generation V|profanity filter]] applied when attempting to nickname Pokémon or when transporting them using [[Poké Transporter]].

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], due to [[List of glitches in Generation VII#Emoticon display bug|a bug]], the fullwidth emoticons that can be entered in Japanese and Chinese games are displayed incorrectly in the game's main font, which is used on the nickname screen (among other places). The small font used to display nicknames in battle does not have this issue, so a Pokémon whose nickname includes these characters will display a different nickname between these two interfaces. Likewise, Pokémon transferred from older games to these games whose names include these characters will also appear to have their names change in the main font. For example, a Pokémon nicknamed {{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}} (neutral face, happy face, sad face, angry face) in a Japanese-language [[Generation VI]] game will have its name displayed as {{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}}{{ding|}} (happy face, angry face, sad face, neutral face) in the game's main font.

Starting in {{LGPE}}, [[Character encoding (Generation V-present)|four fonts]] are used for Pokémon names depending on its [[language of origin]]: one for Japanese, one for Western languages, one for Korean, one for Simplified Chinese, and one for Traditional Chinese. Due to a bug, unnicknamed [[event Pokémon]] whose language of origin was locked to a specific language were still assigned their species name in the language of the game they were received. Since their Korean and Chinese names can contain characters not present in the font used for Japanese or English text, their nicknames will display as question marks when redeemed in these languages. This bug was fixed in version 1.3.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, where they are instead assigned their species name in their language of origin.

===Unnicknamed Pokémon===
{{incomplete|section|needs=How unnicknamed Pokémon from different language games are treated in Gen 1-3 Details on how the renamed Simplified Chinese Pokémon function when unnicknamed}}
Unnicknamed Pokémon use their species name in place of a nickname. The language and capitalization of this name can vary depending on the generation and language of the current game, as well as the generation and language of the games they were obtained, hatched and evolved in.

If an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves or a Pokémon is hatched without being nicknamed, its name is set to its current species name. From Generation IV to VII, it uses its species name in the language of its current game (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). In Generation VIII, its name is set to its species name in its language of origin (regardless of the language of the game it is currently in).

From Generation I to IV, unnicknamed Pokémon from Western language games have their names displayed in ALLCAPS. When transferred to Generation V, the names of unnicknamed Pokémon transferred from previous generations continue to be displayed in ALLCAPS (in contrast to unnicknamed Pokémon caught in the Generation V games, which are displayed in title case); however, if an unnicknamed Pokémon is evolved in Generation V, its new species name will always be displayed in title case (in the language of the game in which it was evolved).

When transferred to [[Pokémon Bank]] via [[Poké Transporter]], or from Pokémon Bank to [[Pokémon HOME]], unnicknamed Pokémon have their name reset to their species name in their language of origin (in title case for Western languages).

====Detecting unnicknamed Pokémon====
From Generation I to III, unnicknamed Pokémon are simply Pokémon whose current name matches their species name in their current game's language; as a result, in these games, an unnicknamed Pokémon traded to a game of a different language will be treated as nicknamed if its species name is different in that language. From Generation IV onward, nicknamed Pokémon are distinguished from unnicknamed Pokémon by an internal flag; this allows Pokémon to be recognized as unnicknamed regardless of the language of the game they are in.

When a Pokémon is migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game via [[Pal Park]], if the migrated Pokémon's current name exactly matches its species name in the Generation IV game's language, it is flagged as being unnicknamed; otherwise, its current name is permanently treated as a nickname. This can result in a Pokémon's species name being permanently treated as a nickname, if it is migrated to a game in a language in which its species name differs from its current name. Since there are no Korean Generation III games (and it is not possible to enter Hangul in any Generation III game), using Pal Park in a Korean Generation IV game will always cause the transferred Pokémon to be treated as having nicknames. Pal Park otherwise requires that both games be the same language, so this is otherwise only a problem for Pokémon traded between languages in Generation III. Pokémon that are [[language of origin|Japanese in origin]] always have Latin letters in their names converted to fullwidth characters, which are considered distinct from regular Latin letters, so cannot be treated as unnicknamed when migrated to a Western language Generation IV game.

When a Pokémon is migrated from a Generation I or II Virtual Console game to {{g|Bank}} via [[Poké Transporter]], if the migrated Pokémon's current name exactly matches its species name in the language of the game it was transferred from, it is flagged as being unnicknamed; otherwise, its current name is permanently treated as a nickname. Due to [[List of glitches in Generation VII#Poké Transporter name encoding glitch|bugs in how Poké Transporter detects unnicknamed Pokémon]], some unnicknamed Pokémon can have their names turned into nicknames upon transfer. Unnicknamed {{p|Mr. Mime}} (in English, French, Italian, and Spanish) becomes nicknamed "MR.MIME" instead; prior to Version 1.3, it became nicknamed "MR-MIME". Prior to Version 1.3, English unnicknamed {{p|Farfetch'd}} became nicknamed "FARFETCH D" upon transfer. Due to Poké Transporter not accounting for the fact that French Generation I and II games do not use {{wp|diacritic}}s or {{wp|Typographic ligature|ligature}}s in Pokémon species names, unnicknamed French Pokémon whose names include those characters are also treated as being nicknamed.

===Transferring nicknamed Pokémon===
Different Pokémon games have different character encodings, so some nicknames may be slightly altered during the transfer process.

====Pal Park====
Quotation marks are transcoded to the appropriate opening and closing quotation marks for the Pokémon's language of origin, even if it has been traded to a different language game where they are displayed differently.

In the Spanish Generation III games, some characters that normally cannot be entered by the player appear in some preset player names, and in the nicknames and Original Trainers of some [[in-game trade]] Pokémon. When migrated via [[Pal Park]], if a Pokémon has a nickname or [[Original Trainer]] that has one of these characters, it will be [[List of glitches in Generation IV#Pal Park name encoding glitch|turned into]] a kana character instead.

====Poké Transporter====
{{main|Poké Transporter#Character transcoding|Poké Transporter → Character transcoding}}
The Generation I and II games use substantially different character encodings to Pokémon Bank, so nicknames from these games need to be transcoded. Some characters that can be entered in nicknames in these games cannot be in later games, so are converted to approximate equivalents; for example, the multiplication sign (×) is converted to a lowercase x, and {{PK}} is converted to capital P.

If a Pokémon is transferred to {{g|Bank}} via [[Poké Transporter]], a profanity filter is applied to its nickname, with its nickname being deleted if the filter deems the name unacceptable. If a Pokémon is transferred from a [[Generation V]] game, the [[List of censored words in Generation V|Generation V filter]] is used; if transferred from a Generation I or II [[Virtual Console]] game, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] filter is used. No filter is applied when transferring from Pokémon Bank to {{g|HOME}}, however.

====Pokémon HOME====
The face characters, arrows, and sleeping symbol that have been present since Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are no longer supported in [[Nintendo Switch]] games. If they appear in a Pokémon's nickname, they are replaced with spaces (fullwidth spaces for the characters that can be entered in Japanese or Chinese, halfwidth spaces otherwise).

The halfwidth ellipsis, gender symbols, suits, shapes, music note, sun, cloud, umbrella, and snowman are replaced with the corresponding Unicode code point that was used only for their fullwidth counterparts in previous games.

If either of these replacements are made anywhere in the string, any leading or trailing halfwidth spaces are trimmed from the resulting string. This makes it possible to have a Pokémon whose nickname or Original Trainer name is an empty string, or consists entirely of fullwidth spaces (which cannot normally be entered after Generation I).

====Pokémon GO====
Any Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon GO]] (either via [[GO Park]] or [[GO Transporter]]) has its nickname erased. However, its original nickname can be viewed in GO Park before catching it.

===Outcomes of nicknaming===
Nicknaming Pokémon rarely has any effect on gameplay, and is simply an element of customization that players are free to use or ignore. However, there are some cases where nicknames have some small effect on the game.

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, if the player has changed the nickname of a Pokémon at the Name Rater, the [[Hoenn TV]] network will sometimes report the nickname chosen. The host will always commend the player on their choice of name, even if the player decides to leave the Pokémon's name as it was. If the player [[Record mixing|mixes records]] with another player, the television network may report on the other player's choice of nicknames as well.

In {{B2W2}}, there is a {{OBP|Medal|Black 2 and White 2}} awarded for having nicknamed Pokémon 10 times.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}} program called {{DL|TV Mauville|The Name Rater Show}} tells a Pokémon's fortune based upon the first letter of its nickname. Additionally, one of the requirements for encountering {{p|Regigigas}} at [[Island Cave]] is having a nicknamed {{p|Regice}} that was caught in these games in the party.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Ingo]] will use the nickname of a Pokémon on its respective [[Path of Solitude]]. This is purely cosmetic, and he will still grant a special mark on the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] page.

===Nicknames used by NPCs===
Nicknamed Pokémon are very rarely used by [[Non-player character|NPC]]s in battles in the core series games. However, NPCs are often shown to have nicknamed Pokémon in other contexts.
* Trainers' Pokémon in the overworld often have nicknames.
* Pokémon used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s used by [[List of Contest opponents|NPC Coordinators]] almost always have nicknames, with the exception of [[Wallace]]'s {{p|Milotic}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Pokémon received from [[in-game trade]]s usually have nicknames

In Pokémon {{4v|Black|White}}, for some [[in-game trade]] NPCs, after trading with them the player can battle these Trainers, who use the Pokémon that the player traded them, now fully evolved. If this Pokémon was given a nickname by the player before being traded, it will keep that nickname for the battle with the player.
* In Pokémon Black and White, in [[Nacrene City]], the player can trade Lass Dye a {{p|Petilil}}{{sup/5|W}} or {{p|Cottonee}}{{sup/5|B}} for the other Pokémon. After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can battle her, in a battle in which she uses the evolved form of the Pokémon that the player traded her.
* In Pokémon Black and White, in [[Driftveil City]], the player can trade Youngster Kyle a {{p|Minccino}} for a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Basculin|Red-Striped]]{{sup/5|B}} or [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Basculin|Blue-Striped]]{{sup/5|W}} {{p|Basculin}}. After entering the [[Hall of Fame]], the player can battle him, in a battle in which he uses {{p|Cinccino}}.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, in [[Accumula Town]], the player can trade Lass Diana an {{p|Excadrill}} for an {{p|Ambipom}} and a {{p|Hippowdon}} for an {{p|Alakazam}}. After each trade, the player can battle her, in which she will use the traded Pokémon.

In {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, in the [[Battle Arcade]], one of the special events swaps the player's Pokémon with the opponent's Pokémon. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]]'s Mix Tournament swaps the player's Pokémon with the NPC's Pokémon. In both cases, if the player's Pokémon have nicknames, they continue to use these nicknames while controlled by an NPC, making it possible to fight an NPC using nicknamed Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Lillie]] carries around a {{p|Cosmog}} that she calls "[[Nebby]]". However, when the player battles it, after it has evolved into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}} or {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}}, it does not have a nickname, although the player can give it one upon catching it.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Beauregard of the [[Galaxy Team]] Security Corps, who is posted outside of [[Galaxy Hall]], asks for a {{p|Wurmple}} as part of [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|Request]] 1: "Wurmple Can Evolve". After receiving a Wurmple, he asks the player to nickname it for him, prompting them three options to choose from: "Beauticia", "Beautifred", or "Beaugene". Beauregard will continue to refer to the Wurmple using the nickname the player chose, even after it evolves.

===Nicknames for the player===
{{incomplete|needs=Needs info from USUM}}
In {{g|X and Y}}, the player is referred to by a nickname by {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}}, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]], and [[Trevor]]. The player can choose from three suggestions (based on the first two characters of the player's name if playing in Japanese or the first character if playing in other languages) or enter a nickname of their own choice. For example, in English a male player named "Calem" could choose from "Li'l C", "C-Meister", "Big C", or entering their own nickname.

In the table below, <char> represents the first character of the player's name (<chars> represents the first two characters).

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
[[File:Alternate Color Pokemon Stad.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Gloom}} nicknamed FruitSalad and an {{p|Ekans}} nicknamed KANS-E, sporting modified colorations (yellow petals instead of the usual red, red eyes instead of yellow)]]
In [[Pokémon Stadium]], [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], as well as the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, nicknaming a Pokémon causes it to be recolored. This feature has not been included in any later games. Possibly to emphasize this color change effect, most [[Non-player character|NPC]] Trainers' Pokémon have nicknames in this series.

A Pokémon's coloration is determined by the 8-bit sum, {{wp|modulo}} 256, of the {{wp|byte}}s corresponding to its nickname as well as its [[Original Trainer]]'s name and [[Trainer ID number|ID number]]. Note that the values used for both pieces of user-entered text are in the [[Character encoding (Stadium)|ISO 8859-1 or EUC-JP character encodings]] used by the Pokémon Stadium games, rather than the proprietary encoding used by the handheld games. The resulting sum (Value) is mapped to a {{wp|hue}} rotation bounded by a minimum (Min) and maximum (Max) hue rotation programmed for each Pokémon species using the following equation:

<math>Hue = \left( \frac{Value \times \left(Max - Min \right)}{255} \right) + Min</math> <ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u4PDIfP9VerQSQibzHPzQh5oRNBUhmEi10F4kZ2uuho</ref><ref>https://bluemoonfalls.com/pages/general/stadium-hues</ref>

This effect is applied like normal on any typographical characters that aren't available to the player through [[text entry]]. These characters are all converted to the equivalent bytes like any other. This can be seen with several NPC Trainers including {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket}}s whose nicknames include numbers, {{tc|Twins}}, whose names are separated by an ampersand (&), and various Trainers in other language versions of the games whose name includes an accent mark.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Channel===
In [[Pokémon Channel]], the player has the option to nickname their companion, {{p|Pikachu}}, once they become familiar enough with each other.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
[[File:Dungeon Shedinja.jpg|thumb|200px|The exclusive nickname option for Shedinja]]
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], the player has the option to name the player and their partner at the beginning of the games, the latter of which defaults to their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Later in-game the player and partner form a [[team]] which they name; this name cannot be changed in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], but starting from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] can be changed at any time from the [[Main menu#Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|main menu]].

Prior to [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], the player can name any Pokémon that joins their [[team]] upon [[recruitment]]. In Explorers of Time, Darkness, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], they can also name a Pokémon when it [[Evolution|evolves]]; this includes the player character and partner, but only if their name is exactly the same as their species name. In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, the player and partner's names will automatically update upon Evolution if their previous name was exactly the same as their species name. In both generations, {{p|Shedinja}} can be nicknamed at any time if its current name is "Shedinja", a property unique to it.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, only the player and partner can be named. Their names can be changed at any time, along with their team name, from the [[Main menu#Super Mystery Dungeon|main menu]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], all Pokémon's nicknames can be changed from their respective [[rescue team camp]]. The name of the player, partner and team can still be changed from the main menu.

Other than the cases specifically mentioned, there is no way to change nicknames.

===Pokémon GO===
{{incomplete|section|are there any characters that Pokémon GO does not support?}}
Caught Pokémon can have a nickname assigned or changed on the Pokémon's summary screen by tapping its name. Nicknames can be up to twelve characters long. Nicknames are not visible to other players. Pokémon GO uses rich text entry, which allows bold tags (<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>) and italic tags (<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>) to be used; other tags supported by {{wp|Unity (game engine)|Unity}}'s rich text system are too long to enclose any text. However, these tags are considered inappropriate words by the game, and cannot be used in nicknames as a result.

All text entry uses the keyboard of the device the game is played on.

Giving the nicknames Rainer, Sparky, or Pyro to an {{p|Eevee}} will guarantee it evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} respectively, while typically one of the three is chosen at random. The nicknames Sakura and Tamao will evolve an Eevee into {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} regardless of the time of day, Linnea and Rea will evolve an Eevee into {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} without the presence of a [[Mossy Lure Module|Mossy]] or [[Glacial Lure Module]], and Kira will evolve an Eevee into {{p|Sylveon}} without needing the required amount of {{pkmn2|Buddy}} Hearts. The effects of these nicknames can only be used once each, and any future Eevee with these nicknames will still evolve randomly into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon if the requirements are not met for its other Evolutions.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
As in the games, nicknaming Pokémon is optional in {{aniseries|PTS}}. It is very seldom that main characters have nicknamed their Pokémon, leaving nicknaming largely unique to [[Character of the day|characters of the day]]. Often, these characters possess more than one of a species of Pokémon, and nicknaming is to provide a distinction, such as in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]''. At other times, the nicknames help to drive the plot, like in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''.

The only main characters to possess a nicknamed Pokémon are {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, [[James]], {{an|Lillie}}, and {{an|Lana}}, who have a {{p|Mr. Mime}} called [[Mimey]] and a {{p|Solgaleo}} called [[Nebby]], a {{p|Luvdisc}} called [[Caserin and Luverin|Caserin]], a {{p|Growlithe}} called [[Growlie]], an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}} called [[Snowy]], and an {{p|Eevee}} called [[Sandy]], respectively. [[Ritchie]], {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Mairin]] also nickname their Pokémon.

Nicknamed Pokémon still say their species name as their [[cry]] instead of their nickname. For example, [[Sparky]] still says "Pikachu" and variants of it.

Ash's mother {{Delia}} was the one who gave Mimey its nickname. She also gave several of Ash's [[Alola]] Pokémon nicknames in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'' and ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]''.

===Pokémon Origins===
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', after {{OBP|Red|Origins}} chose {{TP|Red|Charmander}} as his [[first partner Pokémon]], [[Professor Oak]] told him he could nickname it if he wanted to. However, Red chose to leave Charmander without a nickname, although he did consider giving it the nickname [[Sepultura]] in the Japanese version.

===POKÉTOON===
In ''[[PT03|Blossom's Dream]]'', [[Blossom's parents|Blossom's dad]] owns a {{p|Charizard}} nicknamed Char-ly.

==In the novels==
===Pocket Monsters: The Animation===
In [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]], it is implied at first that individual Pokémon are expected to have [[nicknames]] instead of being called by their own species, as Professor Oak says that humans are not called "Human". However, there are no known nicknamed Pokémon in the novels. [[Ash's Pikachu]] rejects all the nicknames suggested by Ash and prefers to be referred to as simply "Pikachu", and all other known Trainers such as Jessie, James, Bug Catcher, Misty, and Brock also refer to their Pokémon by their species names.

==In the manga==
Some Pokémon manga series use nicknames as a way to differentiate and individualize Pokémon characters.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Usually, at least one [[Pokédex holder]] in each region nicknames their Pokémon. Quite often, the Trainer will nickname their Pokémon with a particular pattern, such as how {{adv|Crystal}} ends most of her Pokémon's nicknames with the "ee" sound, and {{adv|Gold}} ends most of his Pokémon's names with "bo". Several other characters nickname their Pokémon as well; for example, [[Brock]]'s six {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} are each named after a number, from "Geoone" to "Geosix".

Unlike in the games, nicknames of owned Pokémon can be changed when the owner of the Pokémon is changed. Examples of this include [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} being named [[Fofo]] by {{adv|Ruby}}, [[Gurkinn]]'s {{p|Gengar}} being named Garma by {{adv|X}}, and {{kal|Grace}}'s Rhyhorn being named Rhyrhy by {{adv|Y}}. Also, nicknames may be removed by the new Trainer, as {{adv|Silver}}'s Kingdra was nicknamed ''Tat-chan'' when she was under {{adv|Green}}'s ownership.

In addition, a Trainer can change their Pokémon's nickname at any time. For example, {{adv|Black}} changed the nickname of his {{p|Tepig}} from Tep to Nite to [[Bo]] as it evolved, and {{adv|Casey}} only nicknamed [[Bit]] after she had found all her missing Pokémon.

'''Winona''' (Japanese: '''ナギ''' ''Nagi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fortree City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Fortree Gym]]. She gives out the {{Badge|Feather}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Winona ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Winona challenging the player]]
Winona is the sixth Gym Leader to be fought in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. Known as the "Bird User Taking Flight Into the World", she is in charge of the Fortree City Gym and specializes in {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Upon defeat, Winona rewards the {{Badge|Feather}} as well as {{TM|40|Aerial Ace}} in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or {{TM|19|Roost}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} to the triumphant {{player}}. She can later be battled again multiple times in {{game|Emerald}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], using teams that progressively become stronger the more she is fought.

Winona also makes an appearance in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}, participating in the [[Hoenn Leaders Tournament|Hoenn Leaders]], [[Type Expert Tournament|Type Expert]], [[World Leaders Tournament|World Leaders]], and [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]] tournaments.

Winona is a very passionate Pokémon Trainer. She loves Flying types, and has developed a bond so close to them that she claims she has "become one with Bird Pokémon." She also taught how to battle to young trainers such as {{tc|Picnicker}} Kylee. After entering the Hall of Fame in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Winona can be found atop one of the four {{wp|transmission tower}}s on the roof level of [[Mauville City]], feeling the wind in her hair. The player cannot interact with her, but can speak to an old woman watching her directly beneath the tower. She asks what could have possibly motivated Winona to do something so reckless and dangerous.

Winona uses two [[Hyper Potion]]s in the Gym battle and three [[Full Restore]]s in the rematches. All rematches are double battles. Winona is the only trainer to use the risky AI flag, which prioritizes using moves such as {{m|Perish Song}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, and moves causing confusion.

====History====
Winona debuted in the {{aniseries|RS}} episode ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]''. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first arrived in the [[Fortree Gym]], they learned that Winona was away from the [[Gym]] to help out at {{ci|Fortree}}'s annual [[Feather Carnival]]. She was busy taking the attendants, including [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, for joyrides on her {{p|Skarmory}} during the festival.

She eventually agreed to battle Ash. Suddenly, {{TRT}} struck the festival as Winona was showing the group the Gym's battlefield. Winona flew to the scene on her Skarmory, and she went on to rescue the stolen Pokémon before sending Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, Winona led the nighttime flying display to commemorate the Feather Carnival's grand finale.

Ash and Winona had their Gym {{pkmn|battle}} the following day in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle]]''. [[Ash's Grovyle]] managed to defeat [[Winona's Altaria]] during the first round, after landing a direct {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Ash then sent out {{AP|Pikachu}} to fight {{p|Pelipper}}, but both Pokémon ended up fainting after an exchange of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. Afterwards, Winona's {{Shiny}} {{p|Swellow}} took out Grovyle with a single {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and Ash subsequently called out his own {{AP|Swellow}}. After a long aerial battle, Ash prevailed and won the {{Badge|Feather}}.

====Character====
Winona has a deep respect for the sky, and prays to it for good luck prior to taking on a challenger.

Winona is confident in her abilities, and is regarded as a master of {{t|Flying}} Pokémon by the citizens of [[Fortree City]]. She commands her Pokémon's flight paths and even the degree angle of their attacks. Her defense strategy in {{pkmn|battle}} is reliant on her Pokémon's ability to fly, but she has trained her Pokémon to fly accurately and cope in all [[weather]] conditions. Winona enjoys her [[Fortree Gym|Gym]]'s open air layout because it adds an element of unpredictability and challenge to the battle.

Winona's Swellow was the first Shiny Pokémon owned by a [[Gym Leader]].

Swellow's known moves are {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Peck}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

===GOTCHA!===
Winona briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|right|275px|Winona in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
She and Wallace had a romantic relationship in the past. When Wallace beat the Pokémon League, he turned down the position of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master, [[Juan]]. However, he also had the intention of staying close to Winona. Winona was opposed to this act, as she found the idea of a man much stronger than her being constantly around to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Winona is tasked by the [[Pokémon Association]] with supervising the other Hoenn Gym Leaders. It is her job to guide new Gym Leaders and make sure they keep their Gyms running smoothly.

She debuts in ''[[PS211|Hanging Around With Slaking III]]'' at the [[Weather Institute]]. She stops {{adv|Norman}} from battling his {{adv|Ruby|son}} to inform him that he had been spending too much time away from his Gym. She asks Norman to come with her so that he may return to his proper Gym Leader duties. Later, she watches [[Flannery]] build up a win streak in her Gym. Winona informs Flannery about {{adv|Sapphire}}, a young challenger that has already managed to defeat three other Gym Leaders.

Later, Flannery calls all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. The group gets into an argument about which team is the villains and which is on the side of good. When Flannery decides to choose Team Magma as the heroes and Team Aqua as the villains, Winona chooses to trust her friend's judgment and picks the same choice.

Winona meets Sapphire in person when the latter arrives at Fortree City. They have a Gym battle, but not even the Evolution of Sapphire's [[Chic]] into {{p|Blaziken}} is enough to beat Winona. Although she lost, Sapphire gladly accepts Winona's offer to be trained by her. Winona also reveals that the Legendary Pokémon {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} will be awakened soon, and she and the other Gym Leaders want Sapphire to help them prevent chaos from spreading throughout Hoenn. The other Gym Leaders question Winona telling Sapphire all that, since in reality only she and Flannery had actually agreed to Sapphire joining them. Later, Winona agrees to a training session with Sapphire. Due to being angry from a previous argument with Ruby, Sapphire's fury gives her the strength to defeat Winona. Winona praises Sapphire and awards her the Feather Badge for her good work.

When {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and Kyogre are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Flannery and [[Brawly]] are sent to deal with Groudon while [[Roxanne]] and [[Wattson]] are sent to deal with Kyogre. Winona is tasked with evaluating the situation and directing the two teams from the sidelines so that they can succeed in their goals. As Winona and Sapphire assist the wild Pokémon caught in the crossfire, they are approached by the former guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]]. The guardians reveal that the culprits behind Groudon and Kyogre's awakening are at the [[Seafloor Cavern]], but they have no way of going there to stop them. Ruby also arrives and reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. Although initially finding Ruby's claims ridiculous, Winona allows the two to go through with it when Sapphire says she trusts Ruby's words.

With Ruby and Sapphire gone, Wallace states that he will go to assist Roxanne and Brawly in stopping Groudon. The Pokémon Association Director tells Winona that he will be taking over her supervising duties, which allows her to go and assist her fellow Gym Leaders. Winona goes to help Flannery and Wattson deal with Kyogre, but they are interrupted by the [[Aqua Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Subleaders of the Sea Scheme]] of Team Aqua, {{adv|Amber}}, [[Shelly]], and [[Matt]]. The Subleaders all face one of the Gym Leaders to make sure they can't stop Kyogre from advancing any further. Winona is paired up against Matt, but she manages to easily defeat him. Although defeated, Matt and the other Subleaders manage to keep their opponents occupied long enough for Kyogre to advance to [[Sootopolis City]] to battle with Groudon.

[[File:ORAS Gym Leaders Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Winona in the thirteenth chapter]]
With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Winona and Wallace both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When she arrives, Winona finds Sapphire beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Winona snaps Sapphire out of it by reminding her that she is fighting for the one she loves. Sapphire thanks Winona for helping bring back her confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Ruby. After Groudon and Kyogre were defeated and returned to their long slumber, [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] came out of hiding to attack the heroes and make sure they won't be able to stop their plans again. Wallace attempts to face the two villains, but they reveal that they have kidnapped Winona. With Winona held hostage, Wallace is forced to give up and allows himself to be defeated. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Winona celebrated the victory with her allies and thanked Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.

Mirror Serena

2025-12-20T01:19:34Z

GoMegaGreninja:

[[File:Mirror Serena Image XY037.png|200px|thumb|Mirror Serena]]
'''Mirror Serena''' (Japanese: '''鏡の国セレナ''' ''Mirror World Serena'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. She is {{an|Serena}}'s counterpart from the [[Mirror World]]. In the original version, she speaks in a {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.

==History==
Before the regular Ash stumbled upon the Mirror World, Mirror Serena had a battle with [[Mirror Ash]], which she won. After this, Mirror Serena bragged about it and called Mirror Ash a crybaby. This caused Mirror Ash to run off and decide to travel by himself. The Mirror World counterparts of Serena, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} lost sight of him. They later found him again just outside [[Reflection Cave]], but were not aware that this was the {{Ash}} from the regular world instead.
[[File:Mirror Serena Bullying Ash.png|250px|thumb|left|Mirror Serena makes fun of Mirror Ash after defeating him]]
As both the regular Ash and the Mirror World counterparts of {{ashfr}} started to notice the different personalities, [[Mirror Clemont]] deduced this was not the Ash they knew. Mirror Serena refused to believe this, and challenged Ash to a battle, stating she would believe it if he managed to win. Ash accepted with excitement, making [[Mirror Bonnie]] even more surprised of "[[Mirror Ash]]'s" sudden change in personality. Mirror Serena used her {{p|Fennekin}} against [[Ash's Froakie]], Mirror Serena filled with confidence proceeds to lose the match brutally. Stating she would never lose to Mirror Ash, Mirror Serena now believed this Ash was a counterpart version of the Ash she knew.

After the battle, Mirror Ash showed up, having watched the battle from behind a tree. He explained how he had lost his own {{p|Pikachu}}, and the group decided to go look for him. They ultimately found out he was encaged by {{TRT}} of the regular world. Team Rocket also managed to encage the regular world [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While both Ashes battled Team Rocket, Mirror Clemont snagged the cages and threw them towards Mirror Serena, who freed them with her Fennekin.

After they blasted Team Rocket off, Mirror Serena helped in getting the regular Ash back to his own world, as he needed to get back before sunset to prevent getting trapped in the Mirror World forever. They found the mirror through which the regular Ash had come, and managed to get the portal to appear. As the portals of the regular world and the Mirror World started to drift further apart, Mirror Serena encouraged her regular counterpart, who was at the other portal, to wish strongly for Ash to return. The regular Ash ultimately managed to get back, and Mirror Serena said her farewells as the portals closed.

==Character==
Her personality is opposite to that of the regular {{an|Serena}}, as she is arrogant and takes battling very seriously. Mirror Serena also has the ability to make fun of [[Mirror Ash]], him being slightly weak emotionally made her relationship between Ash rather poor compared to the Regular Ash and Serena friendship. She is also easily annoyed of Ash's constant crying, especially for stupid reasons, making sarcastic comments of his crying.

Before the regular {{Ash}} stumbled into the [[Mirror World]], Fennekin was used in a battle against [[Mirror Ash]]'s {{p|Froakie}} and managed to win. She was later used again in battle, now against the Ash of the regular world and his {{AP|Froakie}}. This time, however, she was easily defeated with one {{m|Bubble}} attack. Later, Mirror Serena sent her out to break the glass cages in which the {{TRT}} of the regular world had captured the {{p|Pikachu}} of both Ashes.

Fennekin's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Hidden Power}}.}}

==Blurb==

While our heroes are in Lumiose City, Serena suggests they visit Professor Sycamore before they continue their journey, and she’s even made a batch of delicious macarons for the occasion. At the professor’s lab, they settle in with a nice cup of tea, only to discover the macarons are missing! They find the basket of treats in a corner, guarded by a very hungry Chespin who isn’t interested in sharing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been researching Professor Sycamore’s studies on Mega Evolution, and the villains decide that stealing his data would be a big boost to their schemes. They break into the lab grounds, grab the professor, and throw him in the back of their truck. He’s not alone, however—Bonnie and Serena manage to sneak aboard before they drive away. The girls get locked inside by accident, but Serena manages to leave a trail of broken macarons—which Chespin quickly sniffs out, leading Clemont and Ash to the villains’ hideout!

In the meantime, James has plugged Professor Sycamore’s data into a mechanical Mega-Mega Meowth, which attacks our heroes! Chespin lets Clemont know it wants to battle, but neither Chespin nor Pikachu can make a dent in the mighty machine. But then, the Mega Blaziken that rescued Ash when he fell from Prism Tower reappears, along with its Trainer, a mysterious man in a Blaziken mask. Mega Blaziken’s incredibly powerful Flamethrower leaves Mega-Mega Meowth charbroiled, along with the actual Meowth who’s been controlling it, and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. As our heroes head back to the lab with the professor, Mega Blaziken’s Trainer is watching over them—now without his mask. It’s Meyer, Clemont and Bonnie’s dad!

At the lab, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are saying their farewells when Bonnie notices Chespin watching them. Clemont thanks the Pokémon for its help against Team Rocket and says they’ll meet again soon, but it seems clear that Chespin wants to come along! And so, with Clemont’s friend Chespin now part of the group, the journey to Cyllage City continues!

==Plot==
{{ashfr|The group}} are preparing to leave [[Lumiose City]] for [[Cyllage City]] and {{Ash}}’s next [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. {{an|Serena}} makes a suggestion that they first visit {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, and everyone accepts the idea. Serena adds that she has a basket of freshly baked macarons for them all to enjoy together.

Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse, {{TRT}} is reviewing their next scheme by watching a recording of Ash on [[Prism Tower]] and notices the Pokémon that saves him to be none other than a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. Team Rocket then plans on making {{MTR}} "Mega Evolve" to get [[Ash's Pikachu]], while planning on stealing the research data from the Professor. While Meowth questions being able to Mega Evolve, [[James]] corrects Meowth that if they are successful in stealing the Professor's data, they can implement it into their new mecha, the "[[Team Rocket's mechas|Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha Meowth]]".

Having arrived at the lab, Professor Sycamore learns that Ash and friends are traveling together now. Serena recommends Professor Sycamore try one of her macarons, and [[Sophie]], one of the Professor's assistants, says that they should have tea. Professor Sycamore goes back to studying the Pokémon at his lab, saying that he will be back to have tea and macarons as soon as possible. As Sophie announces the tea is ready, Serena goes to take the macarons out when everyone notices they're gone. As everyone wonders where they went, Sophie notices a {{p|Chespin}} behind a plant eating all of the macarons. As she calls Chespin out for stealing them, Chespin stabs {{an|Clemont}} in the hand with his spikes, takes a handful of macarons and runs out. Sophie explains to the group that that Chespin is very gluttonous.

Outside the lab, Team Rocket pulls up in their van and ram their way inside. As Ash and friends hear the loud noise of the van breaking through the glass, Serena and {{an|Bonnie}} rush out to check on the Professor. As Team Rocket confronts the Professor, he remembers them from [[XY002|before]], specifically the "talking Meowth." [[Jessie]] ends up trapping the Professor in a net before bundling him inside the van. Serena and Bonnie rush to the Professor’s rescue, though the van door shuts behind them and also traps them inside. Serena starts leaving a macaron crumb trail, allowing Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Clemont, and Chespin to follow the path directly to Team Rocket's hideout. Team Rocket open up their van, but are unimpressed to find the girls inside, and equally annoyed that about their copycat {{motto}} recital. Jessie and [[James]] immediately tie them up. Bonnie orders {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} to attack, but he is too busy sleeping. Meowth cuts to the chase, ordering Sycamore to hand over his [[Mega Evolution]] research. The Professor relents after suffering from headaches because of Meowth's claws scratching a glass pane. He directs Meowth to search his lab coat pocket, and inside Meowth finds a memory card.

As Ash and Clemont continue to follow the crumb trail, they pass [[Meyer]] riding on his motorcycle. Seeing his son in a panic, Meyer instantly suspects that something is amiss. As Ash and Clemont are going in to rescue the others, Chespin accidentally alerts Team Rocket to their presence when he tries to grab the basket of macarons. Team Rocket perform their motto, however they went ignored by the boys who turned their attention to saving their friends. The data from Professor Sycamore finally finishes downloading before Meowth steps inside the now activated Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha-Meowth. Sycamore and Clemont are impressed by the technology, but Serena reminds them that they need to escape. Chespin lags behind before tripping and dropping all the macarons on the ground. He puts his stomach first as the mechas continues to roll ahead. Luckily Clemont snatches Chespin to safety, taking shelter near the abandoned warehouse. Chespin offers him a macaron for his troubles, which Clemont accepts. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but to no avail and the attack is reflected back at them. As Clemont tries to come up with a solution, Chespin directs his attention to the robot’s electrical plug. Chespin and Clemont manage to pull the plug from the socket, causing a temporary black out. James gives an order, and Meowth then activates the auxiliary energy supply. Team Rocket regains the advantage, until the mysterious Blaziken Mask has his Mega Blaziken turn the tables with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash and Clemont take care of the rest with Pikachu and Chespin, finishing the machine off with a combination of {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Pin Missile}} to blast Team Rocket off and foil their latest scheme. Blaziken Mask and Mega Blaziken leap away just as quickly as they arrived, where it is revealed that the caped crusader is in fact Clemont and Bonnie's father, Meyer.

Back at Sycamore's lab, Sycamore thanks the group for their help. While [[Officer Jenny]] inspects the crime scene, the staff are already cleaning up the lab. Before the group can leave, Bonnie notices that the same Chespin has been spying on them the entire time. Professor Sycamore then tells Clemont that Chespin wants to travel with him, which Chespin confirms. Professor Sycamore gives him Chespin's {{i|Poké Ball}}, and Clemont [[recall]]s it inside, allowing {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to travel with them. The friends say their goodbyes to the Professor, promising to meet up again, before resuming their journey towards Cyllage City.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Bonnie.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Bonnie for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Fletchling}}
** Instead of Pokémon Holo Caster, Serena and Bonnie in a Santa Claus costume presents the quiz for the [[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]], ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]'' DVDs, Pokédex toy and Poké Ball toy giveaway. This is an event where you dial a number next to the answer of the question. The lucky 10 will be given the following items.
* {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitate {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket motto#Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!|motto]] in this episode.
* This is one of the very few ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' episodes where the [[title card]] is focused on someone else than {{Ash}} in the English dub.

===Errors===
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} looks with perplexity at {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} while it is hiding behind a plant, his tail is missing.
* When {{TRT}} gets through {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s laboratory, while breaking the wall, {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s eyes disappear when they close, only leaving its mask there.
* When Ash and {{an|Clemont}} approach Chespin, the lower-left spike on its head is colored brown.
* When Chespin picks up a piece of macaron, its left arm and tail are briefly colored green.
* In the scene where [[James]] is slamming on the computer, the keyboard is drastically oversized and its touch-pad is missing.
* When James turns [[Team Rocket's mechas#Pokémon the Series: XY|Mega Mega Meowth]] on, half of [[Jessie]]'s glove is colored as her skin, making her glove appear shorter.
* After Mega Mega Meowth is hit by {{m|Flamethrower}}, Chespin's arms are colored light-brown.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, the [[Pokédex]] uses a different voice filter than usual.

===Dub edits===
[[File:XY Title Card Ash.png|thumb|200px|The Polish and Greek dub's title card segment]]
* The {{pmin|Poland|Polish}}, {{pmin|Greece|Greek}}, and {{pmin|Russia}}n dubs' title card focuses on Ash instead of Bonnie.
** Also, the title card lacks the characters' shadows in the Greek dub.
* James is not cut off by the opening like he is in the original version.

==Blurb==

While our heroes are in Lumiose City, Serena suggests they visit Professor Sycamore before they continue their journey, and she’s even made a batch of delicious macarons for the occasion. At the professor’s lab, they settle in with a nice cup of tea, only to discover the macarons are missing! They find the basket of treats in a corner, guarded by a very hungry Chespin who isn’t interested in sharing.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has been researching Professor Sycamore’s studies on Mega Evolution, and the villains decide that stealing his data would be a big boost to their schemes. They break into the lab grounds, grab the professor, and throw him in the back of their truck. He’s not alone, however—Bonnie and Serena manage to sneak aboard before they drive away. The girls get locked inside by accident, but Serena manages to leave a trail of broken macarons—which Chespin quickly sniffs out, leading Clemont and Ash to the villains’ hideout!

In the meantime, James has plugged Professor Sycamore’s data into a mechanical Mega-Mega Meowth, which attacks our heroes! Chespin lets Clemont know it wants to battle, but neither Chespin nor Pikachu can make a dent in the mighty machine. But then, the Mega Blaziken that rescued Ash when he fell from Prism Tower reappears, along with its Trainer, a mysterious man in a Blaziken mask. Mega Blaziken’s incredibly powerful Flamethrower leaves Mega-Mega Meowth charbroiled, along with the actual Meowth who’s been controlling it, and Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. As our heroes head back to the lab with the professor, Mega Blaziken’s Trainer is watching over them—now without his mask. It’s Meyer, Clemont and Bonnie’s dad!

At the lab, Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are saying their farewells when Bonnie notices Chespin watching them. Clemont thanks the Pokémon for its help against Team Rocket and says they’ll meet again soon, but it seems clear that Chespin wants to come along! And so, with Clemont’s friend Chespin now part of the group, the journey to Cyllage City continues!

==Plot==
{{ashfr|The group}} are preparing to leave [[Lumiose City]] for [[Cyllage City]] and {{Ash}}’s next [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. {{an|Serena}} makes a suggestion that they first visit {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, and everyone accepts the idea. Serena adds that she has a basket of freshly baked macarons for them all to enjoy together.

Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse, {{TRT}} is reviewing their next scheme by watching a recording of Ash on [[Prism Tower]] and notices the Pokémon that saves him to be none other than a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. Team Rocket then plans on making {{MTR}} "Mega Evolve" to get [[Ash's Pikachu]], while planning on stealing the research data from the Professor. While Meowth questions being able to Mega Evolve, [[James]] corrects Meowth that if they are successful in stealing the Professor's data, they can implement it into their new mecha, the "[[Team Rocket's mechas|Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha Meowth]]".

Having arrived at the lab, Professor Sycamore learns that Ash and friends are traveling together now. Serena recommends Professor Sycamore try one of her macarons, and [[Sophie]], one of the Professor's assistants, says that they should have tea. Professor Sycamore goes back to studying the Pokémon at his lab, saying that he will be back to have tea and macarons as soon as possible. As Sophie announces the tea is ready, Serena goes to take the macarons out when everyone notices they're gone. As everyone wonders where they went, Sophie notices a {{p|Chespin}} behind a plant eating all of the macarons. As she calls Chespin out for stealing them, Chespin stabs {{an|Clemont}} in the hand with his spikes, takes a handful of macarons and runs out. Sophie explains to the group that that Chespin is very gluttonous.

Outside the lab, Team Rocket pulls up in their van and ram their way inside. As Ash and friends hear the loud noise of the van breaking through the glass, Serena and {{an|Bonnie}} rush out to check on the Professor. As Team Rocket confronts the Professor, he remembers them from [[XY002|before]], specifically the "talking Meowth." [[Jessie]] ends up trapping the Professor in a net before bundling him inside the van. Serena and Bonnie rush to the Professor’s rescue, though the van door shuts behind them and also traps them inside. Serena starts leaving a macaron crumb trail, allowing Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Clemont, and Chespin to follow the path directly to Team Rocket's hideout. Team Rocket open up their van, but are unimpressed to find the girls inside, and equally annoyed that about their copycat {{motto}} recital. Jessie and [[James]] immediately tie them up. Bonnie orders {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} to attack, but he is too busy sleeping. Meowth cuts to the chase, ordering Sycamore to hand over his [[Mega Evolution]] research. The Professor relents after suffering from headaches because of Meowth's claws scratching a glass pane. He directs Meowth to search his lab coat pocket, and inside Meowth finds a memory card.

As Ash and Clemont continue to follow the crumb trail, they pass [[Meyer]] riding on his motorcycle. Seeing his son in a panic, Meyer instantly suspects that something is amiss. As Ash and Clemont are going in to rescue the others, Chespin accidentally alerts Team Rocket to their presence when he tries to grab the basket of macarons. Team Rocket perform their motto, however they went ignored by the boys who turned their attention to saving their friends. The data from Professor Sycamore finally finishes downloading before Meowth steps inside the now activated Mega-Mega-Mega Mecha-Meowth. Sycamore and Clemont are impressed by the technology, but Serena reminds them that they need to escape. Chespin lags behind before tripping and dropping all the macarons on the ground. He puts his stomach first as the mechas continues to roll ahead. Luckily Clemont snatches Chespin to safety, taking shelter near the abandoned warehouse. Chespin offers him a macaron for his troubles, which Clemont accepts. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but to no avail and the attack is reflected back at them. As Clemont tries to come up with a solution, Chespin directs his attention to the robot’s electrical plug. Chespin and Clemont manage to pull the plug from the socket, causing a temporary black out. James gives an order, and Meowth then activates the auxiliary energy supply. Team Rocket regains the advantage, until the mysterious Blaziken Mask has his Mega Blaziken turn the tables with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash and Clemont take care of the rest with Pikachu and Chespin, finishing the machine off with a combination of {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Pin Missile}} to blast Team Rocket off and foil their latest scheme. Blaziken Mask and Mega Blaziken leap away just as quickly as they arrived, where it is revealed that the caped crusader is in fact Clemont and Bonnie's father, Meyer.

Back at Sycamore's lab, Sycamore thanks the group for their help. While [[Officer Jenny]] inspects the crime scene, the staff are already cleaning up the lab. Before the group can leave, Bonnie notices that the same Chespin has been spying on them the entire time. Professor Sycamore then tells Clemont that Chespin wants to travel with him, which Chespin confirms. Professor Sycamore gives him Chespin's {{i|Poké Ball}}, and Clemont [[recall]]s it inside, allowing {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to travel with them. The friends say their goodbyes to the Professor, promising to meet up again, before resuming their journey towards Cyllage City.

* After Mega Mega Meowth is hit by {{m|Flamethrower}}, Chespin's arms are colored light-brown.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, the [[Pokédex]] uses a different voice filter than usual.

===Dub edits===
[[File:XY Title Card Ash.png|thumb|200px|The Polish and Greek dub's title card segment]]

Back at Sycamore's lab, Sycamore thanks the group for their help. While [[Officer Jenny]] inspects the crime scene, the staff are already cleaning up the lab. Before the group can leave, Bonnie notices that the same Chespin has been spying on them the entire time. Professor Sycamore then tells Clemont that Chespin wants to travel with him, which Chespin confirms. Professor Sycamore gives him Chespin's {{i|Poké Ball}}, and Clemont [[recall]]s it inside, allowing {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to travel with them. The friends say their goodbyes to the Professor, promising to meet up again, before resuming their journey towards Cyllage City.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Bonnie.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Bonnie for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Fletchling}}
** Instead of Pokémon Holo Caster, the quiz for ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]'' DVDs, Pokédex toy and Poké Ball toy giveaway was shown.
* {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Serena}} imitate {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket motto#Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!|motto]] in this episode.
* This is one of the very few ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' episodes where the [[title card]] is focused on someone else than {{Ash}} in the English dub.

===Errors===
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} looks with perplexity at {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} while it is hiding behind a plant, his tail is missing.
* When {{TRT}} gets through {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s laboratory, while breaking the wall, {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s eyes disappear when they close, only leaving its mask there.
* When Ash and {{an|Clemont}} approach Chespin, the lower-left spike on its head is colored brown.
* When Chespin picks up a piece of macaron, its left arm and tail are briefly colored green.
* In the scene where [[James]] is slamming on the computer, the keyboard is drastically oversized and its touch-pad is missing.
* When James turns [[Team Rocket's mechas#Pokémon the Series: XY|Mega Mega Meowth]] on, half of [[Jessie]]'s glove is colored as her skin, making her glove appear shorter.
* After Mega Mega Meowth is hit by {{m|Flamethrower}}, Chespin's arms are colored light-brown.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, the [[Pokédex]] uses a different voice filter than usual.

===Dub edits===
[[File:XY Title Card Ash.png|thumb|200px|The Polish and Greek dub's title card segment]]
* The {{pmin|Poland|Polish}}, {{pmin|Greece|Greek}}, and {{pmin|Russia}}n dubs' title card focuses on Ash instead of Bonnie.
** Also, the title card lacks the characters' shadows in the Greek dub.
* James is not cut off by the opening like he is in the original version.

==Blurb==

While our heroes are exploring Reflection Cave, named for its mirrorlike crystal walls, Ash's own reflection pulls Pikachu through one of the mirrors! Ash leaps after it and finds himself in another world, with a Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena very different from the ones he knows.

After our Ash helps Mirror Ash drive off Team Rocket and reclaim his own Pikachu, Mirror Clemont tells him of a frightening legend—people who pass through one of the mirrors in Reflection Cave must return to their own world before sunset or risk being stuck on the wrong side of the mirror forever! Ash hurries back to the mirror he first stepped through, where his friends are waiting on the other side, and all of them focus on reuniting with each other.

Thanks to the strong bonds of friendship, Ash and Pikachu are pulled back to their own world just in time!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} make their way to [[Shalour City]], {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Bonnie}} rush off to a cave, but when {{an|Clemont}} asks what is so special about the cave, Serena says that they will have to wait until they get inside to find out. Once everyone is inside the cave, they all admire the particularly reflective cave walls, and Serena tells them that the cave is called [[Reflection Cave]]. Ash rushes ahead to discover more of the cave to explore. Not wanting to get left behind, the others run after Ash. While Ash wanders around the cave, he sees a bright light coming from behind him from one of the rocks, but just as he approaches the rock, the light disappears and he stares at it in confusion. Ash then approaches another mirror-like rock, which starts to shine like the one from earlier, but this time Ash sees [[Mirror Ash|his reflection]] reach out and grab {{AP|Pikachu}}, causing him to shout out, alerting his friends as they rush to his location, but they only see him as he disappears through the opening in the mirror before it closes.
[[File:XY037 Ash VS Mirror Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash facing Mirror Serena]]
Following a bright flash of light, Ash exits the cave to find himself in a forest that looks much different than ones he has seen before. Running down the path looking for Pikachu, Ash is stopped by [[Mirror Serena|Serena]], who is different than the Serena he knows. [[Mirror Bonnie|Bonnie]] also appears, informing [[Mirror Clemont|Clemont]], who races past them, then stops before running back. As Ash explains what has happened to Pikachu, Serena does not believe him when he tells them that another him grabbed Pikachu, and she and Bonnie mock him. The three are not convinced by Ash's story, but Serena does admit there is something different about him compared to the Ash she knows, and Mirror Clemont tells them of a legend about Reflection Cave. As Ash tells the three of them that they are different to his friends back in the world he came from, Serena gets annoyed and challenges him to a battle, telling Ash she will believe him if he manages to beat her, to which he accepts.

[[File:Mirror Serena Bullying Ash.png|240px|thumb|Mirror Serena Makes Fun of Mirror Ash After his Recent Defeat]]
Mirror Serena sends out {{p|Fennekin}} as Ash chooses his {{AP|Froakie}}. Fennekin starts off with {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is countered by Froakie's {{m|Water Pulse}}. Serena then tells Fennekin to use {{m|Scratch}}, but Froakie uses {{m|Double Team}} to avoid it, making Mirror Serena panic, as the battle finishes with Fennekin being knocked out by {{m|Bubble}}. Since Ash won the battle, Serena has no choice but to believe he is telling the truth. Mirror Ash then reveals himself with Ash's Pikachu. Mirror Clemont asks what happened for Mirror Ash to get in this situation, to which he explains that after losing to Serena, he ran into Reflection Cave, but shortly lost sight of Pikachu, so when he saw Ash's Pikachu, he grabbed him thinking he was his. Ash then asks what Mirror Ash's Pikachu is like, to which he explains he is wild and aggressive as the scene cuts to {{TRT}} trying to capture Mirror Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to send {{MTR}} flying into [[James]] as [[Jessie]] catches the device and captures Pikachu in it.

Ash tells Mirror Ash that he cannot leave him knowing he is in trouble and offers to help him find his Pikachu while Mirror Serena wonders how they are going to find Pikachu, to which Mirror Clemont laughs to himself. Back with Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena of the main world, they wonder how they are going to get Ash back, with Clemont revealing his new [[Clemontic Gear|invention]] called the "Other Dimension Converter", though it does not work and ends up blowing up. Back in the [[Mirror World]], Mirror Clemont reveals he has a magic spell prepared for the situation and draws a lightning bolt shape on the ground as he proceeds to put his staff in the middle and says that whichever direction it falls in will be the direction they need to search for Pikachu in. As Mirror Bonnie compliments her brother, the real world's Bonnie shouts at Clemont for his failed invention as a clearly upset Serena wonders if Ash has disappeared forever.

Back with Team Rocket, Mirror Ash's Pikachu continuously uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on his cage as he tries to break free, just as James notices there are people approaching the area. Ash reveals that they have reached a dead end, to which Mirror Serena wonders where Pikachu could be as Team Rocket observe them and Pikachu as they plan to capture him as well. Mirror Ash then starts to get upset at the thought of never seeing Pikachu again, but Ash offers him some comfort. Just then, Ash's Pikachu is captured as everyone looks in shock. Ash recognizes the group as Team Rocket, but the others do not know who they are, claiming that they are known as "The Heroes of Justice", which confuses Ash, as Mirror Ash notices that Team Rocket also have his Pikachu.

[[File:Mirror Ash Crying XY037.png|270px|thumb|left|Mirror Ash Crying After Losing His Hawlucha]]
Ash orders Team Rocket to let the Pikachu go, but instead, they send out {{TP|James|Inkay}} and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}. Ash then tells Mirror Ash that they should battle too, to which both send out their {{p|Hawlucha}}. The two Ash order their Hawlucha to use {{m|Karate Chop}} on Pumpkaboo and Inkay, but as Ash's Hawlucha charges in forcefully and hits Inkay, Mirror Ash's Hawlucha jogs slowly and worriedly, missing Pumpkaboo as it is tackled by it. James orders Inkay to fire {{m|Psybeam}} at Hawlucha, but Ash's Hawlucha steps in and takes the hit, only to become confused in the process and forcing Ash to [[recall]] it. Pumpkaboo hits Mirror Ash's Hawlucha into Mirror Ash before being returned too. Mirror Ash then starts to cry, but Ash tells him nothing will be solved by him crying and that they have not lost yet. As Mirror Clemont picks up the two cages containing the Pikachu, he is spotted by Meowth. Panicking, Clemont stands on Meowth and dodges Jessie and James's attempts to stop him as he throws the cages into the air, at which Serena has her Fennekin use {{m|Hidden Power}} on them, freeing the two Pikachu before they land in front of their Trainers. Ash and Mirror Ash promptly order their Pikachu to blast Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt.

After Ash is praised by the Mirror World group, Mirror Serena tells them it will be dark soon, which makes Mirror Clemont remember about the legend of Reflection Cave and that anyone stuck in the Mirror World after sunset will be stuck there forever. As Ash and the Mirror World group return to Reflection Cave, Mirror Ash explains how he opened up the portal to the other world. Ash then starts wishing hard to travel with his friends again, with Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena doing the same until a portal opens up on both sides, allowing the groups to see one another between the two worlds. As they wish for Ash's return, the portals move closer. Ash, with Pikachu in hand, steps in, only for the portals to begin moving away from each other again. As Ash starts to fall, Serena grabs his hand and his friends all pull him up. Everyone says goodbye to their doppelgangers as they promise to meet again, and once the two portals close, Ash states that the group from the Mirror World are going to continue their journey together and that they should do the same.

As they exit Reflection Cave, it is starting to get dark in this world too. Serena asks Ash if they will always be together on their journey, too, and Ash tells her that he would not want it to be any other way, to which Bonnie and Clemont chime in that they will always be a team. The group makes a stopover at a local [[Pokémon Center]] on the road to Shalour City. Meanwhile, Team Rocket find themselves marooned in the Mirror World following their earlier blast off. They look up at a rock and see [[Mirror Team Rocket]], who are the real Heroes of Justice, leaving the real Team Rocket shocked at what they had just seen.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Noivern}}
** For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] segment, a quiz of the released ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' was shown with the exclusive [[Nintendo 3DS]] viewers can win.
* The regular opening sequence is replaced with clips from ''[[M17|Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. Although this is a standard practice with some Japanese shows when a tie-in movie is released, this marks the first time it has occurred in the [[Pokémon animated series]].
* {{an|Clemont}}, {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} narrate the preview for the [[XY038|next episode]].
** This preview is a parody of {{wp|radio drama}}s. Unlike most previews narrated by several characters, Clemont is the only one actually reciting a synopsis, while Ash, Bonnie and Serena provide reactions according to his narration. Also, just like in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'', no background music plays during the preview.
* It is never revealed how Team Rocket ended up in the [[Mirror World]], or how they later escaped as [[Mirror Clemont]] stated that people from another world cannot return to their own world after sunset.
** However, Mirror Clemont notably claims it to be "according to the legend", which may lack truth within.
** This legend can still be proven to be true if Team Rocket attempted something not used before which therefore disapproves the myth regardless if it was true or false previously.
* The symbol Mirror Clemont drew to find both Pikachu resembles the Screw Attack symbol from {{wp|Metroid}}.
* [[Ash's Hawlucha]]'s {{m|Karate Chop}} was animated differently in this episode, making it look more similar to {{m|Wing Attack}}, and resumed its usual appearance in subsequent episodes. The reason for this is unknown.
* The [[Mirror Serena]]'s {{DL|Mirror Serena|Fennekin}} in the Mirror World knows the [[move]] {{m|Scratch}}, a move that the real Serena's {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} had never used until the next episode.

===Errors===
* After {{TRT}} captures [[Mirror Ash]]'s Pikachu, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} can be heard before the sound of his Poké Ball opening.
* When Ash jumps into his dimension, Mirror Ash's Pikachu disappears, but when regular Ash gets to his dimension, Mirror Pikachu reappears on Mirror Ash's shoulder.
** Also, at the same time his Pikachu disappears, [[Mirror Serena]] is to the right of Mirror Ash, but a few seconds later, Serena is to the left of him.
* In one shot, the front of [[Ash's hat]] is colored white instead of red.

Mirror Ash

[[File:Mirror Ash.png|250px|thumb|Mirror Ash]]
'''Mirror Ash''' (Japanese: '''鏡の国のサトシ''' ''Mirror World Satoshi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s mirror version from the [[Mirror World]].

===History===

[[File:Mirror Serena Bullying Ash.png|250px|thumb|left|Mirror Ash Crying After Losing his Match Against Mirror Serena]]
Before the regular Ash stumbled upon the Mirror World, Mirror Ash had a battle with [[Mirror Serena]], which he lost. After this, Mirror Serena bragged about it and called Mirror Ash a crybaby. This caused Mirror Ash to run off and decide to travel by himself. He ran towards [[Reflection Cave]] but lost his {{p|Pikachu}}, which led to the Regular Team Rocket plotting their next mission to snag, Pikachu, unaware that it's not the Pikachu they needed. While looking for him, Mirror Ash came across a mirror, in which he saw Pikachu. He managed to pull through the mirror and grab Pikachu, unaware that this was the {{AP|Pikachu}} from the regular world, which he just pulled from the regular Ash's shoulder. Though initially happy he had found Pikachu, he later realized this wasn't his Pikachu.

Later, Mirror Ash found his way back to his friends and witnessed a battle from behind a tree between Mirror Serena and Ash from the regular world, who had followed Mirror Ash to get his Pikachu back. After the battle, he showed himself and Mirror Ash told what happened to the group after he had left them. Mirror Ash had still not found his own Pikachu, so the group decided to look for him with help of [[Mirror Clemont]]'s magic. They ended up at a dead end however, causing Mirror Ash to start crying again, in the Japanese Dub, it was due to him thinking Pikachu was truly gone and in the English Dub, he was scared he's never the same.

[[File:Mirror Ash Crying XY037.png|250px|thumb|Mirror Ash has a Meltdown after Losing Against Team Rocket]]
Right at that moment, the [[Team Rocket trio]] of the regular world showed up, revealing they had found Mirror Ash's Pikachu and caged it. They also managed to get the regular Ash's Pikachu. To get both Pikachu back, the group battled them, with regular Ash and Mirror Ash teaming up and both using their {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Team Rocket ended up defeating them, however, causing Mirror Ash to give up and cry. A speech from the regular Ash convinced him to continue again. Mirror Clemont used this moment to steal the cages with the Pikachu and Mirror Serena managed to free them with her {{p|Fennekin}}. Both Ashes used their freed Pikachu to blast Team Rocket off. Mirror Ash now decided to still continue traveling with his friends instead of traveling alone.

Afterwards, the group enjoyed the sunset. However, this caused Mirror Clemont to remember that anyone not from the Mirror World would be trapped inside the Mirror World forever once the sun had set. They hurried to Reflection Cave to ensure the regular Ash would go back to his own world in time. Although they found the mirror through which the regular Ash had come, the portal wasn't there. Then Mirror Ash remembered what caused the portal to appear when he grabbed the regular Ash's Pikachu. Eventually, the portal appeared as the regular Ash wished strongly to return to his own world. The regular Ash managed to go back, and Mirror Ash and his friends said their goodbyes as the portals closed again.

===Personality===

He is {{Ash}}'s counterpart from the [[Mirror World]], whose personality is opposite to that of the regular Ash, as he is very timid and quick to panic, because of this, he is very sensitive to crying from losing, bullying and losing Pokémon which annoys everyone especially Mirror Serena.

After losing a battle against [[Mirror Serena]], Mirror Ash ran off crying inside [[Reflection Cave]]. There, Mirror Ash and his Pikachu lost each other and Pikachu ultimately wandered outside Reflection Cave again. He stumbled upon {{TRT}} from the regular world, who wanted to catch him. Although he defended himself, Team Rocket eventually managed to catch him in a glass cage.

Later, Mirror Ash accompanied by his friends and the regular Ash, found Team Rocket and battled them to get Pikachu back. Team Rocket also managed to get the regular Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, however. While both Ashes were busy battling Team Rocket, [[Mirror Clemont]] managed to snatch the cages. He threw them towards Mirror Serena, who freed both Pikachu with her {{p|Fennekin}}.

==Blurb==

While our heroes are exploring Reflection Cave, named for its mirrorlike crystal walls, Ash's own reflection pulls Pikachu through one of the mirrors! Ash leaps after it and finds himself in another world, with a Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena very different from the ones he knows.

After our Ash helps Mirror Ash drive off Team Rocket and reclaim his own Pikachu, Mirror Clemont tells him of a frightening legend—people who pass through one of the mirrors in Reflection Cave must return to their own world before sunset or risk being stuck on the wrong side of the mirror forever! Ash hurries back to the mirror he first stepped through, where his friends are waiting on the other side, and all of them focus on reuniting with each other.

Thanks to the strong bonds of friendship, Ash and Pikachu are pulled back to their own world just in time!

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} make their way to [[Shalour City]], {{an|Serena}} and {{an|Bonnie}} rush off to a cave, but when {{an|Clemont}} asks what is so special about the cave, Serena says that they will have to wait until they get inside to find out. Once everyone is inside the cave, they all admire the particularly reflective cave walls, and Serena tells them that the cave is called [[Reflection Cave]]. Ash rushes ahead to discover more of the cave to explore. Not wanting to get left behind, the others run after Ash. While Ash wanders around the cave, he sees a bright light coming from behind him from one of the rocks, but just as he approaches the rock, the light disappears and he stares at it in confusion. Ash then approaches another mirror-like rock, which starts to shine like the one from earlier, but this time Ash sees [[Mirror Ash|his reflection]] reach out and grab {{AP|Pikachu}}, causing him to shout out, alerting his friends as they rush to his location, but they only see him as he disappears through the opening in the mirror before it closes.
[[File:XY037 Ash VS Mirror Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash facing Mirror Serena]]
Following a bright flash of light, Ash exits the cave to find himself in a forest that looks much different than ones he has seen before. Running down the path looking for Pikachu, Ash is stopped by [[Mirror Serena|Serena]], who is different than the Serena he knows. [[Mirror Bonnie|Bonnie]] also appears, informing [[Mirror Clemont|Clemont]], who races past them, then stops before running back. As Ash explains what has happened to Pikachu, Serena does not believe him when he tells them that another him grabbed Pikachu, and she and Bonnie mock him. The three are not convinced by Ash's story, but Serena does admit there is something different about him compared to the Ash she knows, and Mirror Clemont tells them of a legend about Reflection Cave. As Ash tells the three of them that they are different to his friends back in the world he came from, Serena gets annoyed and challenges him to a battle, telling Ash she will believe him if he manages to beat her, to which he accepts. Mirror Serena sends out {{p|Fennekin}} as Ash chooses his {{AP|Froakie}}. Fennekin starts off with {{m|Flamethrower}}, which is countered by Froakie's {{m|Water Pulse}}. Serena then tells Fennekin to use {{m|Scratch}}, but Froakie uses {{m|Double Team}} to avoid it, making Mirror Serena panic, as the battle finishes with Fennekin being knocked out by {{m|Bubble}}. Since Ash won the battle, Serena has no choice but to believe he is telling the truth. Mirror Ash then reveals himself with Ash's Pikachu. Mirror Clemont asks what happened for Mirror Ash to get in this situation, to which he explains that after losing to Serena, he ran into Reflection Cave, but shortly lost sight of Pikachu, so when he saw Ash's Pikachu, he grabbed him thinking he was his. Ash then asks what Mirror Ash's Pikachu is like, to which he explains he is wild and aggressive as the scene cuts to {{TRT}} trying to capture Mirror Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to send {{MTR}} flying into [[James]] as [[Jessie]] catches the device and captures Pikachu in it.

Ash tells Mirror Ash that he cannot leave him knowing he is in trouble and offers to help him find his Pikachu while Mirror Serena wonders how they are going to find Pikachu, to which Mirror Clemont laughs to himself. Back with Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena of the main world, they wonder how they are going to get Ash back, with Clemont revealing his new [[Clemontic Gear|invention]] called the "Other Dimension Converter", though it does not work and ends up blowing up. Back in the [[Mirror World]], Mirror Clemont reveals he has a magic spell prepared for the situation and draws a lightning bolt shape on the ground as he proceeds to put his staff in the middle and says that whichever direction it falls in will be the direction they need to search for Pikachu in. As Mirror Bonnie compliments her brother, the real world's Bonnie shouts at Clemont for his failed invention as a clearly upset Serena wonders if Ash has disappeared forever.

Back with Team Rocket, Mirror Ash's Pikachu continuously uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on his cage as he tries to break free, just as James notices there are people approaching the area. Ash reveals that they have reached a dead end, to which Mirror Serena wonders where Pikachu could be as Team Rocket observe them and Pikachu as they plan to capture him as well. Mirror Ash then starts to get upset at the thought of never seeing Pikachu again, but Ash offers him some comfort. Just then, Ash's Pikachu is captured as everyone looks in shock. Ash recognizes the group as Team Rocket, but the others do not know who they are, claiming that they are known as "The Heroes of Justice", which confuses Ash, as Mirror Ash notices that Team Rocket also have his Pikachu. Ash orders Team Rocket to let the Pikachu go, but instead, they send out {{TP|James|Inkay}} and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}. Ash then tells Mirror Ash that they should battle too, to which both send out their {{p|Hawlucha}}. The two Ash order their Hawlucha to use {{m|Karate Chop}} on Pumpkaboo and Inkay, but as Ash's Hawlucha charges in forcefully and hits Inkay, Mirror Ash's Hawlucha jogs slowly and worriedly, missing Pumpkaboo as it is tackled by it. James orders Inkay to fire {{m|Psybeam}} at Hawlucha, but Ash's Hawlucha steps in and takes the hit, only to become confused in the process and forcing Ash to [[recall]] it. Pumpkaboo hits Mirror Ash's Hawlucha into Mirror Ash before being returned too. Mirror Ash then starts to cry, but Ash tells him nothing will be solved by him crying and that they have not lost yet. As Mirror Clemont picks up the two cages containing the Pikachu, he is spotted by Meowth. Panicking, Clemont stands on Meowth and dodges Jessie and James's attempts to stop him as he throws the cages into the air, at which Serena has her Fennekin use {{m|Hidden Power}} on them, freeing the two Pikachu before they land in front of their Trainers. Ash and Mirror Ash promptly order their Pikachu to blast Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt.

After Ash is praised by the Mirror World group, Mirror Serena tells them it will be dark soon, which makes Mirror Clemont remember about the legend of Reflection Cave and that anyone stuck in the Mirror World after sunset will be stuck there forever. As Ash and the Mirror World group return to Reflection Cave, Mirror Ash explains how he opened up the portal to the other world. Ash then starts wishing hard to travel with his friends again, with Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena doing the same until a portal opens up on both sides, allowing the groups to see one another between the two worlds. As they wish for Ash's return, the portals move closer. Ash, with Pikachu in hand, steps in, only for the portals to begin moving away from each other again. As Ash starts to fall, Serena grabs his hand and his friends all pull him up. Everyone says goodbye to their doppelgangers as they promise to meet again, and once the two portals close, Ash states that the group from the Mirror World are going to continue their journey together and that they should do the same.

As they exit Reflection Cave, it is starting to get dark in this world too. Serena asks Ash if they will always be together on their journey, too, and Ash tells her that he would not want it to be any other way, to which Bonnie and Clemont chime in that they will always be a team. The group makes a stopover at a local [[Pokémon Center]] on the road to Shalour City. Meanwhile, Team Rocket find themselves marooned in the Mirror World following their earlier blast off. They look up at a rock and see [[Mirror Team Rocket]], who are the real Heroes of Justice, leaving the real Team Rocket shocked at what they had just seen.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Title Card Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Noivern}}
** For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] segment, a quiz of the released ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' was shown with the exclusive [[Nintendo 3DS]] viewers can win.
* The regular opening sequence is replaced with clips from ''[[M17|Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. Although this is a standard practice with some Japanese shows when a tie-in movie is released, this marks the first time it has occurred in the [[Pokémon animated series]].
* {{an|Clemont}}, {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} narrate the preview for the [[XY038|next episode]].
** This preview is a parody of {{wp|radio drama}}s. Unlike most previews narrated by several characters, Clemont is the only one actually reciting a synopsis, while Ash, Bonnie and Serena provide reactions according to his narration. Also, just like in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'', no background music plays during the preview.
* It is never revealed how Team Rocket ended up in the [[Mirror World]], or how they later escaped as [[Mirror Clemont]] stated that people from another world cannot return to their own world after sunset.
** However, Mirror Clemont notably claims it to be "according to the legend", which may lack truth within.
** This legend can still be proven to be true if Team Rocket attempted something not used before which therefore disapproves the myth regardless if it was true or false previously.
* The symbol Mirror Clemont drew to find both Pikachu resembles the Screw Attack symbol from {{wp|Metroid}}.
* [[Ash's Hawlucha]]'s {{m|Karate Chop}} was animated differently in this episode, making it look more similar to {{m|Wing Attack}}, and resumed its usual appearance in subsequent episodes. The reason for this is unknown.
* The [[Mirror Serena]]'s {{DL|Mirror Serena|Fennekin}} in the Mirror World knows the [[move]] {{m|Scratch}}, a move that the real Serena's {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} had never used until the next episode.

===Errors===
* After {{TRT}} captures [[Mirror Ash]]'s Pikachu, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} can be heard before the sound of his Poké Ball opening.
* When Ash jumps into his dimension, Mirror Ash's Pikachu disappears, but when regular Ash gets to his dimension, Mirror Pikachu reappears on Mirror Ash's shoulder.
** Also, at the same time his Pikachu disappears, [[Mirror Serena]] is to the right of Mirror Ash, but a few seconds later, Serena is to the left of him.
* In one shot, the front of [[Ash's hat]] is colored white instead of red.

Mirror Serena

[[File:Mirror Serena Image XY037.png|250px|thumb|Mirror Serena]]
'''Mirror Serena''' (Japanese: '''鏡の国セレナ''' ''Mirror World Serena'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. She is {{an|Serena}}'s counterpart from the [[Mirror World]]. In the original version, she speaks in a {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.

===History===

Before the regular Ash stumbled upon the Mirror World, Mirror Serena had a battle with [[Mirror Ash]], which she won. After this, Mirror Serena bragged about it and called Mirror Ash a crybaby. This caused Mirror Ash to run off and decide to travel by himself. The Mirror World counterparts of Serena, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} lost sight of him. They later found him again just outside [[Reflection Cave]], but were not aware that this was the {{Ash}} from the regular world instead.

As both the regular Ash and the Mirror World counterparts of {{ashfr}} started to notice the different personalities, [[Mirror Clemont]] deduced this was not the Ash they knew. Mirror Serena refused to believe this, and challenged Ash to a battle, stating she would believe it if he managed to win. Ash accepted with excitement, making [[Mirror Bonnie]] even more surprised of "[[Mirror Ash]]'s" sudden change in personality. Mirror Serena used her {{p|Fennekin}} against [[Ash's Froakie]], Mirror Serena filled with confidence proceeds to lose the match brutally. Stating she would never lose to Mirror Ash, Mirror Serena now believed this Ash was a counterpart version of the Ash she knew.

[[File:Mirror Serena Bullying Ash.png|240px|thumb|left|Mirror Serena Makes Fun of Mirror Ash After his Recent Defeat]]
After the battle, Mirror Ash showed up, having watched the battle from behind a tree. He explained how he had lost his own {{p|Pikachu}}, and the group decided to go look for him. They ultimately found out he was encaged by {{TRT}} of the regular world. Team Rocket also managed to encage the regular world [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While both Ashes battled Team Rocket, Mirror Clemont snagged the cages and threw them towards Mirror Serena, who freed them with her Fennekin.

After they blasted Team Rocket off, Mirror Serena helped in getting the regular Ash back to his own world, as he needed to get back before sunset to prevent getting trapped in the Mirror World forever. They found the mirror through which the regular Ash had come, and managed to get the portal to appear. As the portals of the regular world and the Mirror World started to drift further apart, Mirror Serena encouraged her regular counterpart, who was at the other portal, to wish strongly for Ash to return. The regular Ash ultimately managed to get back, and Mirror Serena said her farewells as the portals closed.

===Personality===

Her personality is opposite to that of the regular [[Serena (anime)|Serena]], as she is arrogant and takes battling very seriously. Mirror Serena also has the ability to make fun of [[Mirror Ash]], him being slightly weak emotionally made her relationship between Ash rather poor compared to the Regular Ash and Serena friendship. She is also easily annoyed of Ash's constant crying, especially for stupid reasons, making sarcastic comments of his crying.

She was later used again in battle, now against the Ash of the regular world and his {{AP|Froakie}}. This time, however, she was easily defeated with one {{m|Bubble}} attack.

'''Mirror Ash''' (Japanese: '''鏡の国のサトシ''' ''Mirror World Satoshi'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s mirror version from the [[Mirror World]].

===History===

[[File:Mirror Serena Bullying Ash.png|250px|thumb|left|Mirror Ash Crying After Losing his Match Against Mirror Serena]]
Before the regular Ash stumbled upon the Mirror World, Mirror Ash had a battle with [[Mirror Serena]], which he lost. After this, Mirror Serena bragged about it and called Mirror Ash a crybaby. This caused Mirror Ash to run off and decide to travel by himself. He ran towards [[Reflection Cave]] but lost his {{p|Pikachu}}, which led to the Regular Team Rocket plotting their next mission to snag, Pikachu, unaware that it's not the Pikachu they needed. While looking for him, Mirror Ash came across a mirror, in which he saw Pikachu. He managed to pull through the mirror and grab Pikachu, unaware that this was the {{AP|Pikachu}} from the regular world, which he just pulled from the regular Ash's shoulder. Though initially happy he had found Pikachu, he later realized this wasn't his Pikachu.

Later, Mirror Ash found his way back to his friends and witnessed a battle from behind a tree between Mirror Serena and Ash from the regular world, who had followed Mirror Ash to get his Pikachu back. After the battle, he showed himself and Mirror Ash told what happened to the group after he had left them. Mirror Ash had still not found his own Pikachu, so the group decided to look for him with help of [[Mirror Clemont]]'s magic. They ended up at a dead end however, causing Mirror Ash to start crying again, in the Japanese Dub, it was due to him thinking Pikachu was truly gone and in the English Dub, he was scared he's never the same.

Right at that moment, the [[Team Rocket trio]] of the regular world showed up, revealing they had found Mirror Ash's Pikachu and caged it. They also managed to get the regular Ash's Pikachu. To get both Pikachu back, the group battled them, with regular Ash and Mirror Ash teaming up and both using their {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Team Rocket ended up defeating them, however, causing Mirror Ash to give up and cry. A speech from the regular Ash convinced him to continue again. Mirror Clemont used this moment to steal the cages with the Pikachu and Mirror Serena managed to free them with her {{p|Fennekin}}. Both Ashes used their freed Pikachu to blast Team Rocket off. Mirror Ash now decided to still continue traveling with his friends instead of traveling alone.

Afterwards, the group enjoyed the sunset. However, this caused Mirror Clemont to remember that anyone not from the Mirror World would be trapped inside the Mirror World forever once the sun had set. They hurried to Reflection Cave to ensure the regular Ash would go back to his own world in time. Although they found the mirror through which the regular Ash had come, the portal wasn't there. Then Mirror Ash remembered what caused the portal to appear when he grabbed the regular Ash's Pikachu. Eventually, the portal appeared as the regular Ash wished strongly to return to his own world. The regular Ash managed to go back, and Mirror Ash and his friends said their goodbyes as the portals closed again.

===Personality===

He is {{Ash}}'s counterpart from the [[Mirror World]], whose personality is opposite to that of the regular Ash, as he is very timid and quick to panic, because of this, he is very sensitive to crying from losing, bullying and losing Pokémon which annoys everyone especially Mirror Serena.

Mirror Serena

2025-12-10T00:22:24Z

GoMegaGreninja:

[[File:Mirror Serena Image XY037.png|250px|thumb|Mirror Serena]]
'''Mirror Serena''' (Japanese: '''鏡の国セレナ''' ''Mirror World Serena'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY037|The Cave of Mirrors!]]''. She is {{an|Serena}}'s counterpart from the [[Mirror World]]. In the original version, she speaks in a {{wp|Kansai dialect}}.

===History===

Before the regular Ash stumbled upon the Mirror World, Mirror Serena had a battle with [[Mirror Ash]], which she won. After this, Mirror Serena bragged about it and called Mirror Ash a crybaby. This caused Mirror Ash to run off and decide to travel by himself. The Mirror World counterparts of Serena, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} lost sight of him. They later found him again just outside [[Reflection Cave]], but were not aware that this was the {{Ash}} from the regular world instead.

As both the regular Ash and the Mirror World counterparts of {{ashfr}} started to notice the different personalities, [[Mirror Clemont]] deduced this was not the Ash they knew. Mirror Serena refused to believe this, and challenged Ash to a battle, stating she would believe it if he managed to win, which Ash accepted with excitement, making [[Mirror Bonnie]] even more surprised of "[[Mirror Ash]]'s" sudden change in personality. Mirror Serena used her {{p|Fennekin}} against [[Ash's Froakie]], Mirror Serena filled with confidence proceeds to lose the match brutally. Stating she would never lose to Mirror Ash, Mirror Serena now believed this Ash was a counterpart version of the Ash she knew.

[[File:Mirror Serena Bullying Ash.png|240px|thumb|left|Mirror Serena Makes Fun of Mirror Ash After his Recent Defeat]]
After the battle, Mirror Ash showed up, having watched the battle from behind a tree. He explained how he had lost his own {{p|Pikachu}}, and the group decided to go look for him. They ultimately found out he was encaged by {{TRT}} of the regular world. Team Rocket also managed to encage the regular world [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While both Ashes battled Team Rocket, Mirror Clemont snagged the cages and threw them towards Mirror Serena, who freed them with her Fennekin.

After they blasted Team Rocket off, Mirror Serena helped in getting the regular Ash back to his own world, as he needed to get back before sunset to prevent getting trapped in the Mirror World forever. They found the mirror through which the regular Ash had come, and managed to get the portal to appear. As the portals of the regular world and the Mirror World started to drift further apart, Mirror Serena encouraged her regular counterpart, who was at the other portal, to wish strongly for Ash to return. The regular Ash ultimately managed to get back, and Mirror Serena said her farewells as the portals closed.

===Personality===

Her personality is opposite to that of the regular [[Serena (anime)|Serena]], as she is arrogant and takes battling very seriously. Mirror Serena also has the ability to make fun of [[Mirror Ash]], him being slightly weak emotionally made her relationship between Ash rather poor compared to the Regular Ash and Serena friendship. She is also easily annoyed of Ash's constant crying, especially for stupid reasons, making sarcastic comments of his crying.

She was later used again in battle, now against the Ash of the regular world and his {{AP|Froakie}}. This time, however, she was easily defeated with one {{m|Bubble}} attack. Later, Mirror Serena sent her out to break the glass cages in which the {{TRT}} of the regular world had captured the {{p|Pikachu}} of both Ashes.

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{an|Dawn}} obtained at the beginning of her travels in [[Sinnoh]], given to her by [[Professor Rowan]]. Piplup travels [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Dawn choosing Piplup.png|thumb|220px|left|Piplup being picked to be Dawn's [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
Piplup debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', where he got into a fight with the {{p|Chimchar}} after it stole the last of his {{pkmn|food}}. He caused chaos by using {{m|Bubble Beam}} inside [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab and then fled in hot pursuit of the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. While chasing Chimchar, Piplup got stuck in a web that was weaved by an {{p|Ariados}}. Seeing the situation, {{an|Dawn}}, who had been tasked with finding the runaway Pokémon, devised a plan to make Ariados destroy its own web, freeing Piplup and making him land safely in her arms. However, Ariados returned accompanied by several of its species and attacked them, leading Dawn and Piplup to work as a team to escape from the attack. Having fought the {{pkmn2|wild}} Ariados off and returned to the lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first Pokémon saying their {{pkmn|journey}} together had already begun.

In ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]'', Piplup battled [[Nando's Budew]]. He started the {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{m|Peck}} attack but {{p|Budew}} dodged easily and used {{m|Bullet Seed}}. He managed to avoid the glowing yellow seeds and use Bubble Beam, getting a clean hit. However, the {{type|Water}} [[move]] had little effect on the Bud Pokémon. When [[Nando]] ordered Budew to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, Dawn thought the move would take a while to charge and had Piplup using Peck. To her surprise, the {{m|Sunny Day}} Budew used before the battle was still in effect and Solar Beam charged immediately, hitting Piplup and rendering him [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', Piplup started practicing for the upcoming [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He had a hard time using Bubble Beam while spinning around in the air, getting dizzy, and falling to the ground in each of his attempts. However, after being motivated by Dawn when helping a group of Water-type Pokémon that had their food stolen by {{TRT}}, he managed to perfect the technique. During {{aniseries|BW}}, this technique was used again as a variation of [[Counter Shield]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.

Piplup made his stage debut in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', where he was used in the Performance Stage of the Jubilife Contest. He came out of a [[Seal|Foamy Seal]] and used Bubble Beam to keep the bubbles from the Seal suspended in the air before storing up energy for a Peck. The stored energy made his beak extend and he used the {{type|Flying}} attack to explode all the bubbles. With this simple yet remarkable performance, Piplup managed to advance Dawn to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Piplup learned {{m|Whirlpool}} upon seeing Team Rocket escaping with [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. He used the new move to absorb {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s {{m|Bullet Seed}} before launching it towards them, restoring {{p|Prinplup}}'s energy and allowing it to free itself. After that, he and Prinplup forgot the rivalry they started earlier in the episode and became friends, working together to send Team Rocket blasting off again.

[[File:Dawn with Piplup.png|thumb|220px|With Dawn at the Jubilife Contest]]
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', Piplup was used in the Battle Stage of the {{to|Floaroma}} Contest. His first battle in the event was against [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Dustox}}, during which he used {{m|Bide}} to return double the damage he took from {{m|Poison Sting}} before knocking the Poison Moth Pokémon out with a Peck attack. After that he was seen defeating a {{p|Bagon}} to advance to the finals of the competition. There he went up against {{si|Kenny}}'s Prinplup. They both used Bubble Beam to start the battle and their moves collided in the center of [[Contest Hall|the stadium]], creating a shower of sparkles. Piplup proceeded with Peck but Prinplup intercepted with {{m|Metal Claw}}, catching and tossing him into the air. Prinplup then used {{m|Drill Peck}} and Piplup countered the attack with Bide. After recovering, Prinplup used Metal Claw but Piplup dodged and used Whirlpool. The large water vortex engulfed Prinplup, costing Kenny precious points, but was ultimately destroyed by a powerful Bubble Beam. Prinplup followed with {{m|Mist}} to cloak the stage before using Drill Peck and Piplup answered with another Whirlpool. The two Pokémon jumped into the vortex and faced off inside it, with Piplup using Peck and Prinplup using Metal Claw. They then used Bubble Beam again and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, giving Dawn her first [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Dawn entered Piplup as a {{p|Weedle}} in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], an annual competition organized by the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] where Pokémon try to imitate other Pokémon. During his impression, Piplup got a little too excited and used Bubble Beam, a move Weedle cannot learn, thus ruining his chances of winning the event.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Dawn learned from [[Zoey]] that the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest was going to be held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. She paired up Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in order to train for this kind of performance and develop some new [[Contest combination]]s. She told Pachirisu to use {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and Piplup to use Whirlpool, but things didn't go quite as planned as the large whirlpool covered all the hearts from the Sweet Kiss. She also tried to combine Whirlpool and {{m|Discharge}}, but Pachirisu's Discharge was too powerful and it evaporated Piplup's Whirlpool.

In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Piplup was used in the Performance Stage of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest along with Pachirisu. He used Bubble Beam to encase the hearts of Pachirisu's Sweet Kiss and his Whirlpool was dissipated in a flash of sparkles by Pachirisu's Discharge. Their performance received positive reviews from the [[Contest Judge]]s but it wasn't impressive enough to advance Dawn to the Contest Battles.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Piplup was seen battling alongside [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}} against {{OBP|Giant|DP050}}'s {{p|Koffing}} and his partner's {{p|Scyther}} in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Together they defeated their opponents and advanced their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to the second round.

In ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', Piplup battled alongside [[Leona]]'s {{p|Swinub}} against [[Ash's Chimchar]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. The battle ended in a draw when all four Pokémon were {{status|freeze|frozen solid}}. In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he battled [[Roman]]'s {{p|Girafarig}} and [[Kylie]]'s {{p|Drifloon}} along with [[May's Blaziken]] in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] challenge. Using a combination of Bubble Beam and {{m|Fire Spin}} that trapped their opponents inside it, they were able to win the battle.
[[File:Piplup versus Glaceon.png|thumb|220px|left|Battling May's Glaceon]]
Piplup was used twice in the [[Wallace Cup]] battling stage. He was first used to battle {{si|Kyle}}'s {{p|Crawdaunt}} in the semifinal round. Their battle began in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' with a collision of Bubble Beam and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} that cost their {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s some points. As the battle continued in the [[DP079|following episode]], the two Pokémon jumped in the pool and charged at each other, with Piplup using his Whirlpool to trap Crawdaunt in a vortex. However, his move was taken advantage of when Crawdaunt used {{m|Surf}}, sending him backwards. Crawdaunt proceeded with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but Piplup avoided the attack with his spinning dodge technique and used Bide to absorb the energy from the two purple beams. When Crawdaunt jumped in the air to strike Piplup with a {{m|Crabhammer}}, Piplup released the absorbed energy, hitting the Rogue Pokémon and causing it to fall into the water just as the time ran out. Piplup won the battle on points, allowing Dawn to advance to the final round.

Dawn used Piplup again in the finals of the Wallace Cup, where he went up against [[May's Glaceon]]. Glaceon got a head start by hitting Piplup with {{m|Secret Power}}. Because it was used indoors, Piplup was {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}. Piplup shook it off by getting into the water and the two engaged in a fierce battle of moves. It ultimately ended with Piplup using Bubble Beam and Glaceon reflecting it with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Both Pokémon were hit by the water from the Whirlpool as time ran out. Piplup ended up winning by points, securing the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} for Dawn, her second {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] overall.
[[File:Dawn Piplup no evolution.png|thumb|250px|Using Bide to prevent Evolution]]
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', when Piplup was about to train with {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|Dawn's other Pokémon}}, he collapsed from exhaustion, worrying his Trainer. Soon after, he started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Prinplup}}. However, he used Bide to stop the process and collapsed again. As a result, {{an|Brock}} rushed him to the [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] explained he just needed some rest. Later, when Dawn talked to him, he started evolving again. She told him to let it happen this time, but he used Bide to discontinue the process. As she questioned his motives and spoke to him about the benefits of evolving, he got angry and fled the room. Dawn followed him through the woods, but he kept running away from her, angry at her for not understanding his unwillingness to evolve. While running, he got caught in a web. Dawn tried to help him, but an Ariados appeared and attacked her. The attack destroyed the web and freed Piplup, who landed in Dawn's arms. After that, several Ariados appeared and attacked them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Piplup used Bide to send them flying, just like the day he and Dawn first met. Making matters worse, Team Rocket appeared and captured Piplup. While trying to retrieve her Pokémon, Dawn learned that past events have motivated Piplup to stay the way he is. This made Dawn realize that on the day she chose Piplup, he chose her as well. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they returned to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy gave Dawn an [[Everstone]] to prevent Piplup's Evolution for as long as he wants.

In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with {{OBP|Lulu|DP137}}'s {{p|Marill}}. However, a wild {{p|Elekid}} was also competing for its affections. When the three Pokémon got separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid worked together to save it. Once Marill was saved, it decided to go with Elekid, leaving Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Piplup was used alongside Pachirisu in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Johanna's Glameow]] and {{p|Umbreon}}. They started the battle by using a combination of Whirlpool and Discharge. However, the combination didn't last long as [[Johanna]]'s Pokémon were able to gracefully dodge it with a double {{m|Quick Attack}} and destroy it with a double Shadow Ball. After that, Dawn had Piplup use Bubble Beam, but Glameow and Umbreon dodged again. This was part of Dawn's plan, though, as Bubble Beam was meant to build a barrier of bubbles and hide Pachirisu. When Pachirisu came out from behind the barrier, it caught Glameow and Umbreon by surprise and attacked them with a spinning {{m|Super Fang}}. Johanna's Pokémon quickly fought back with a double {{m|Attract}}, {{status|infatuation|infatuating}} both Pachirisu and Piplup before attacking them with a double {{m|Swift}} and knocking them out.

[[File:Piplup Buneary Daybreak Contest.png|thumb|250px|left|At the Daybreak Contest with Buneary]]
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Piplup was used to battle {{an|Lyra}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} in the [[Johto Festival]] battling exhibition. Despite the [[type]] disadvantage, he was still able to defeat the {{pkmn|category|Leaf Pokémon}}, earning Dawn a [[Pokémon Egg]].

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Piplup was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Lilypad Town]] Pokémon Contest. For his performance, he used Whirlpool and then Bide. His Whirlpool came straight down on him and joined forces with Bide, causing him to glow an intense blue from the energy reaction. Judges praised his appeal and allowed Dawn to advance to the Battle Stage.

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Piplup teamed up with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to perform at the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest, which was being held under the Double Performance rule. They finished a stunning performance by exploding the frozen bubbles and sending a shower of sparkles down to the crowd, assuring Dawn's progression to the next round.

In ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', Piplup kept getting hit by [[Ash's Gible]]'s then faulty {{m|Draco Meteor}}. He thought that Dawn was going to stick up for him, but when she didn't he decided he'd had enough and started to walk back to Professor Rowan's lab. Several times he imagined Dawn coming to comfort him, but he got even more discouraged when he found out she wasn't really there. At one point he came across Team Rocket, who were [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as Pokémon therapists, and told them his problem. They were very moved by his story, so much so that they scolded Dawn for not noticing Piplup's feelings. Later on, Piplup brought Pikachu over to Team Rocket, unaware of their plot to capture them both, which was successful until a wild {{p|Rhyperior}} came and freed them. Piplup then jumped into Dawn's arms and she apologized to him for not knowing how he felt, as did Ash. He then battled Team Rocket along with [[Ash's Grotle]], learning {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the process.

[[File:Piplup Togekiss DP177.png|thumb|250px|At the Grand Festival with Togekiss]]
As in the Wallace Cup, Piplup was used twice in the battling stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', he was revealed to have helped Dawn defeat her quarterfinal round opponent with Pachirisu, thus allowing her to advance further in the competition. In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', he went up against [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}} alongside {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} in the finals. Despite putting several techniques he perfected during his training sessions to good use and combining his moves with Togekiss's in many different ways, he was unable to earn Dawn the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn gave Piplup a new cheering uniform for him to wear during Ash's [[Full Battle]] against [[Paul]] in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when he realized that Ash, Brock, and Pikachu were leaving, since he couldn't accept the fact. However, Dawn and everyone else consoled him saying they would always be friends to the end.

In [[DPS01]], he was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. However, when they unleashed their Whirlpool-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination, the battle had to be stopped due to their fighting.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
[[File:Dawn Piplup and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup's rivalry with Ash's Oshawott]]
Piplup accompanied Dawn to [[Unova]] prior to ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In [[BW086|the following episode]], he was able to reunite with {{Ash}} and meet {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and his new object of affection—a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since they were in [[Virbank City]]. He also socialized with all of the group's other Pokémon when they were brought out of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, and found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had feelings for Meloetta too. Later on, he had a battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]], during which he used {{m|Drill Peck}} to send Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} back at him. When the Grass Monkey Pokémon used {{m|Rock Tomb}}, he negated the move using a variation of [[Counter Shield]]. After that, Pansage used {{m|Solar Beam}}, but Piplup countered with {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the two beams collided, they rose into the sky and exploded, creating a beautiful fireworks display. This left Meloetta greatly impressed, causing it to disrupt the battle and start dancing with Piplup.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Piplup was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], going up against [[Ramone]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Using Drill Peck, he was able to defeat his opponent, thus allowing Dawn to proceed to the second round.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Piplup grew sad while saying goodbye to Meloetta before leaving for [[Johto]] with Dawn. Oshawott then confronted him one more time, but their contempt soon turned into sadness and they bade each other a teary farewell. After that, Piplup jumped onto the plane and departed.

He reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====

Although it didn't appear in the entire series, it was briefly mentioned in [[XY022|Going for the Gold]] by Ash when they were in the aquarium.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Dawn and Chloe battling.png|thumb|250px|Piplup and Dawn joining forces with Eevee and Chloe]]
Piplup appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'' with Dawn in Sinnoh, where he helped to protect a {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}} from Team Rocket.

In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'', Piplup was taken away by [[Alternate World Dawn]], but he was reunited with his real Trainer when she later entered the Alternate World as well. In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Piplup was reverted into an {{pkmn|Egg}} as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal and Spatial Pokémon}} repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.

In ''[[JNS03|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3)]]'', Piplup helped in an attempt to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} from reaching [[Spear Pillar]].

Piplup appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.

In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Piplup and Dawn traveled to [[Wyndon]] to watch Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Dawn Piplup angry.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup getting ready to lose his temper]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup as a {{p|Piplup|species}} is very proud and dislike accepting food from [[human|people]]. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when a {{p|Chimchar}} stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', when he repeatedly missed out on eating a [[Berry]] and started a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', or when Dawn said [[Ash's Gible]] did not have ill intent when he was practicing his {{m|Draco Meteor}} in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, Piplup was fairly weak at first, being easily defeated by [[Nando's Budew]] in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'' and a {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''. As time passed, Piplup became Dawn's most used Pokémon in battle, as he became one of her strongest and best Pokémon.
[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|250px|Piplup in his cheer outfit]]
Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, being used more than any of {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} and having helped her win her first two {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. He seems to be very competitive and will always try to overcome the odds to impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, which has been successful, but there have been times that he didn't, which upsets him. However, despite this, Piplup has shown to be understanding and would often support his teammates in Pokémon Contests.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in him being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was the same. Despite this, Piplup does commonly try to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.
[[File:Dawn and Piplup.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup and Dawn]]
It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a [[Friendship|close bond]] with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', he helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|Bubble Beam}} at her face. Two episodes later, in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', he barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only half a point to help Dawn win the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. Piplup's close bond with Dawn is one of the main reasons he refused to evolve in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', along with also wanting to become stronger as a Piplup. Also, in the same episode, Dawn was given an [[Everstone]] by the [[Sandalstraw Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]] so Piplup won’t ever have to evolve, as he was using {{m|Bide}} to prevent his Evolution.
[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|250px|Piplup and Ash's Pikachu]]
Piplup has a close relationship with [[Ash's Pikachu]], as they are often seen hanging out together. Throughout their time traveling together, Piplup would spar against Pikachu as part of their training, even though what they do is different because the Mouse Pokémon focuses in battling Gyms while the latter focuses on showing off his moves in Pokémon contests. Despite this, Piplup and Pikachu seem to take inspiration from each other, which has help them in their goals for their Trainers. However, when it was time to part ways with Pikachu in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup was upset in being separated from him, but cheered up with the help of his friends.
[[File:Piplup Cyndaquil rivalry.png|thumb|250px|left|Piplup's rivalry with Cyndaquil]]
When [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]] joined the group and it was unresponsive to him when he tried to befriend it, Piplup developed a rivalry with the Fire Mouse Pokémon and spent a lot of time fighting. Piplup also gets jealous of the attention Cyndaquil gets from Dawn, as shown in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', when he got upset that his Trainer and friends were praising Cyndaquil in its effort in its first battle, even taking a [[Poffin]] that the Fire Mouse Pokémon was going to receive as a reward for its hard work. This was shown again in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', when Piplup got upset that Dawn was comforting Cyndaquil when it attempted to show their Trainer that it wanted to be in [[Lilypad Town]] Pokémon Contest. However, Piplup's rivalry with Cyndaquil have stopped after it evolved into Quilava.

Ever since Ash's Gible made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of his {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a {{cat|Animated series running gags|running gag}}. This event was expanded in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', where Piplup ran away from {{ashfr|the group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped him learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically, it was implied in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' that Draco Meteor can be used to differentiate Piplup from other members of its species.

* Piplup is the second Pokémon in {{aniseries|PTS}} to stop [[Evolution|evolving]] while the process was happening, the first being [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].
** During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of [[Pokémon animation]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup would likely not [[Evolution|evolve]] very soon, referring to his {{p|Prinplup|evolved}} {{p|Empoleon|forms}} as "ugly" or not good for [[Pokémon Contests]].<ref>https://www.pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points</ref>
* Piplup was referenced by Ash in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', when he and his friends met a troop of many Piplup at the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}. Ash recalled that Dawn's Piplup had been rather prideful and stubborn.

Season 2]]''.
* Dawn's Piplup has been given a redesign since his return in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', now having blue eyes like in the games, instead of having black eyes as his depiction from {{aniseries|DP}} and {{aniseries|BW}}.

'''Forest's Curse''' (Japanese: '''もりののろい''' ''Forest's Curse'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Phantump}} and {{p|Trevenant}}.

==Effect==
Forest's Curse [[type change|adds]] the {{t|Grass}} type to the target, in addition to the Pokémon's original type(s). Forest's Curse will fail if the target is already Grass-type. If it is used against a dual-type Pokémon, that Pokémon will have three types at once. If the target already has an additional type added to it by {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}, that type is replaced with the Grass type. This additional type can be copied by {{m|Reflect Type}}.

If powered up by a [[Grassium Z]] into Z-Forest's Curse, the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are raised by one stage each.

Forest's Curse will always fail if the target is {{Tera}}stallized, regardless of its type, and its effect is removed upon Terastallizing.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Forest's Curse cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===
Forest's Curse is usable in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A|Legends Z-A]]. The effect remained the same.

==Blurb==

After defeating the Elite Four at the Indigo Plateau, Red is finally ready to challenge the Champion and take his strength to the next level. Little does he realize that the new Champion is his old rival Blue! The battle that ensues is the fiercest they’ve had yet. And even more surprises lie ahead for Red as he searches for a mysterious new Pokémon and challenges new frontiers!

==Plot==
[[File:Elite Four PO.png|thumb|200px|left|The Elite Four]]
After going through {{ka|Victory Road}}, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} makes it to the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he fights the [[Elite Four]]. He eventually defeats the last member of the Elite Four, [[Lance]], who tells Red that he still has to face one more challenge in order to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}: the current Pokémon League Champion. Red enters the final arena and is surprised to find out that the Champion is none other than {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who is also surprised that Red made it, but remarks that it was expected - after all, he's been one step ahead of Red since the very beginning. Blue recounts how during his search to complete the [[Pokédex]], he also spent a great deal of time searching for the perfect Pokémon [[Party|team]], capable of defeating their opposition no matter the [[type]]. And now, standing at the pinnacle of the Pokémon League, he declares that he is finally the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the world, before sending out his first Pokémon and initiating the final {{pkmn|battle}} between the two [[rival]]s.

The ensuing fight is intense, with both Trainers' teams trading [[Fainting|K.O.]]s left and right. Eventually, Red is down to his last Pokémon after Blue's {{p|Blastoise}} sends his {{p|Jolteon}} rocketing into one of the walls of the arena. Blue smirks, confident that Red will never be able to beat him, but Red declares otherwise, revealing his ace in the hole: {{TP|Red|Charizard}}. Seeing Charizard makes Blue remember [[PO01|the first Pokémon battle they had]], in which his Squirtle easily took down Red's Charmander. Red refutes this, stating that things will be different this time, while Blue only hopes that Charmander's newfound [[Evolution]] will make things somewhat challenging.
[[File:Red Charizard Fire Blast PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard using Fire Blast]]
Charizard makes the first move by striking Blastoise point-blank with {{m|Mega Punch}}, but Blastoise readily tanks the blow, not even flinching from being hit. Realizing he got set up, Red orders Charizard to retreat, but Charizard is caught by a [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] {{m|Hydro Pump}} from the {{pkmn|category|Shellfish Pokémon}}, barely hanging onto a sliver of its health. Deciding against a direct approach, Red has Charizard use {{m|Fire Spin}}, [[Bound|trapping Blastoise in the fiery vortex]], which is able to slowly whittle down its health, leaving Blue worried. Blastoise dispels the Fire Spin with a sweep of its hand, but it is too late - Red calls for one last {{m|Fire Blast}}, and Charizard's attack delivers a clean hit, reducing Blastoise's [[HP]] to zero. Red congratulates Charizard on their victory, while Blue [[recall]]s his Blastoise and starts wondering how he could have lost, having only just become the Champion, and complains that his reign is over already. Reluctantly, he admits to Red that he is the new League Champion.

Suddenly, [[Professor Oak]] shows up, congratulating Red on his victory. He admires how much he has grown since he set on his quest with {{p|Charmander}}, and then turns to Blue, explaining that he had departed for the Pokémon League as soon as he had heard that his grandson had defeated the Elite Four, but by the time he arrived, Blue had already lost his Champion title to Red. Blue complains that he just took too long, but Professor Oak ignores this, instead asking Blue if he understands why he lost. When Blue tries to explain that Red's victory was just a fluke, Professor Oak snaps at him, telling him that he lost because he didn't treat his Pokémon with trust and love. Professor Oak turns to Red again and asks him to follow him. They enter the next room, the [[Hall of Fame]], where all the Pokémon League Champions and their Pokémon are recorded and honored. Red places his {{i|Poké Ball}}s on the recording device, and a portrait of his Pokémon and himself appears on the wall. Red wonders if it is okay for a person like him to be called a Champion, but Professor Oak says that he fought with great honor, and he should be proud of that. Red agrees and promises to not bring shame to the title of Pokémon League Champion.
[[File:Red Charizard Moltres Flamethrower PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red fighting Moltres]]
Even though Red is now the Pokémon League Champion, his journey isn't over yet, as he still has plenty of Pokémon to catch in order to complete the Pokédex. During his travels, he even encounters the three [[Legendary birds|Legendary bird Pokémon]]; {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. With his skills, Red manages to catch even these powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]], adding their data to the Pokédex.

Finally, Red returns to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], calling out that he has managed to complete the Pokédex. However, the lab is completely empty, save for one of [[Professor's assistant|Professor Oak's aides]], who tells him that Oak is at Blue's house. Red quickly rushes there, finding Professor Oak with Blue, who is lying in his bed, covered with bandages. Professor Oak assures him that Blue will be okay with some rest, and Red asks what happened to him. Blue explains that he was battling a [[Mewtwo (Pokémon)|wild Pokémon]] in [[Cerulean Cave]], when his Blastoise was sent flying and landed right on top of him. Red is shocked at the information and asks for further details about the Pokémon. Unfortunately, Blue is unable to provide any detailed info, as he had never seen that Pokémon before, and his Pokédex was also crushed when Blastoise crashed on top of him. Red tells him to look for the Pokémon from his own Pokédex, and Professor Oak is astonished to hear that Red has actually managed to collect all 149 known species of Pokémon. Professor Oak congratulates Red on completing his lifelong dream and starts going through the Pokédex. Blue is depressed to hear of Red's achievement, as he was just one Pokémon short of having collected 149 Pokémon too, but now he's unable to do that because his Pokédex is broken.

Professor Oak asks Blue to name the Pokémon's [[move|attacks]] in order to narrow down its [[type]], and Blue says that it used {{m|Confusion}} and {{m|Barrier}}, preventing any of his attacks from landing a single hit on it. Professor Oak deduces that the Pokémon was possibly a {{t|Psychic}} type, and shows images of various Psychic Pokémon from the Pokédex. However, none of them matches the Pokémon Blue saw, leaving all three confused. As this Pokémon is not in the Pokédex, Professor Oak deduces that the Pokémon Blue battled was actually a previously unknown [[Pokémon (species)|species]], meaning that there are actually 150 different kinds of Pokémon. He turns to Red and asks him if he could go to Cerulean Cave to catch this Pokémon for the Pokédex. Red accepts the request, but Blue tells him not to do it, for the Pokémon's strength is so far beyond him that even Red couldn't stand a chance against it. Suddenly, Red has a {{wp|déjà vu}} moment, as Blue's words remind him of something he had heard somewhere before. After snapping out of his daze, Red says that he has to try to catch the Pokémon before he can know anything for sure. Blue admits that he's right, then confessing that he had heard rumors of the incredibly powerful Pokémon and wanted to catch it just so he could use it to defeat Red the next time they battled. Understanding that this Pokémon is very powerful, Professor Oak invites Red to his laboratory to make preparations for his departure to Cerulean Cave.

In [[Lavender Town]], [[Mr. Fuji]] is feeding a {{p|Vulpix}} at the Pokémon House, when [[Reina]] shows up with {{p|Cubone}}, asking him if he has heard of the rumors about Cerulean Cave. When Mr. Fuji says he has not, Reina explains that a monstrously strong wild Pokémon has been sighted there, and it just defeated a former Pokémon League Champion. When Reina says that the Pokémon is probably a Psychic type, Mr. Fuji glances out of the window, saying, ''"So then… it's still out there."''
[[File:Mewtwo backstory PO.png|thumb|250px|Red recalling Mewtwo's backstory]]
Back in [[Pallet Town]], Professor Oak's aide takes Red's Pokémon to be checked out. While she is gone, Professor Oak asks Red about [[Key Stone|the]] [[Charizardite X|stones]] he [[PO02|received]] in Lavender Town. Red explains that he does not know what they are for, and when he mentions he got them from Mr. Fuji, Oak is surprised to hear the name. Red goes out [[fishing]] in order to get some time for his thinking, trying to remember why Blue's words sounded so familiar. Finally, he remembers and rushes back to the laboratory, telling Professor Oak that he finally remembered where he had read the same words that Blue had said before: at the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. He explains how he had found a [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal]] in the mansion, which had described the discovery of a previously unknown Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}, and how an entirely new Pokémon, which came to be known as {{p|Mewtwo}}, was [[Artificial Pokémon|created]] from Mew. Mewtwo had, however, gotten far too strong to control, thus resulting in its escape.

Professor Oak agrees with Red's idea of the mysterious Pokémon that beat Blue being Mewtwo. He also adds that the diary Red had read could be the notes of Dr. Fuji, a formerly well-known Pokémon researcher whose studies were dismissed after they started to grow darker due to his discovery of a new species of Pokémon and his attempts to create a new, powerful Pokémon. Professor Oak says that while Mewtwo's connection to this is only possible, the man who gave Red the mysterious stones could actually be Dr. Fuji, even though Red suspects that they might just have the same last name. Professor Oak goes further to explain that he bases his theory on the stones: when he had studied them, he had discovered an energy flow in between them, and that one of them had reacted strongly when put near Charizard. Red is a bit confused about this, but keeps listening as Professor Oak recalls having a faint memory of Dr. Fuji researching something like this in his earlier days. Given the mentioned facts, Professor Oak suggests that Red should give one of the stones to Charizard and keep the other one for himself. With the preparations complete, Red departs for Cerulean Cave to catch the 150th Pokémon.
[[File:Red Mewtwo Confusion 2 PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard being overwhelmed by Mewtwo]]
Back in Lavender Town, Reina has heard of Red heading to Cerulean Cave and rushes to tell the news to Mr. Fuji. Upon hearing the news, Mr. Fuji gets worried, knowing very well what kind of a monster Red is about to face. Within Cerulean Cave, Red {{m|surf}}s across the water with his {{p|Lapras}}, and finally notices Mewtwo, standing in the deepest corner of the cave. Upon noticing him, the Genetic Pokémon leaps forward and lets out a fierce [[Cry|roar]], ready for battle. As soon as he makes land, Red sends out his {{p|Gengar}} to face Mewtwo. Mr. Fuji's worries back at Lavender Town start to show their authenticity, as, one by one, Red's Pokémon end up easily defeated. Even Articuno's {{m|Blizzard}} is countered by Mewtwo's {{m|Recover}}, and the Legendary Pokémon gets knocked out with a single hit. Mr. Fuji understands that Red has only one glimmer of hope on his side, and it lies within the stones he gave him. With all of his other Pokémon defeated, Red calls out his Charizard, who immediately starts battling Mewtwo. While Mewtwo counters Charizard's Fire Blast with Barrier and {{m|Swift}}, downing the Flame Pokémon, Mr. Fuji tells Reina about the legend behind the stones, an ancient tale passed down from the faraway [[Kalos]] [[region]], which tells that if a Charizard and its human partner share a close enough bond, these stones would bring out a great power. Recovering from its fall, Charizard charges in with a {{m|Slash}} attack, but Mewtwo easily counters it, sending both Charizard and Red flying off the isle and into the depths of the cave's waters.

While sinking, Red begins to lose all hope, but when he sees Charizard's determined face, he regains his confidence and starts swimming towards his partner. Just then, the two stones start to glow, and the power of the legend Mr. Fuji spoke of is finally revealed: [[Mega Evolution]]. A bright burst of energy occurs, and a monstrous form emerges from the depths of the cavern pool, spouting blue flames and massive black and blue wings: Mega Charizard X. Red is surprised that Charizard managed to tap into a greater Evolution, to which Charizard nods and flies them back to the isle.
[[File:Red Mega Charizard X Fire Blast PO.png|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X using Fire Blast]]
Ready to initiate round two, Red orders another Fire Blast from Mega Charizard X, whose newfound strength causes the attack to burn light blue, surprising even Mewtwo, who takes a direct hit and heavy [[damage]] despite blocking the move at the last second. Impressed by the power-up, Red wonders if the attack was enough and flings an [[Ultra Ball]] at Mewtwo. The Ball ensnares the Genetic Pokémon, but only shakes once before bursting apart as Mewtwo breaks free. Now roaring in ferocious rage, Mewtwo charges up energy before launching Swift at Charizard, who uses its wings to mitigate most of the damage before retaliating with a Swift of its own. Despite its best efforts to evade the incoming stars, Mewtwo {{cat|Moves that cannot miss|cannot dodge them forever}} and is eventually bombarded, granting Red an opening for Mega Charizard X to close the distance with repeated Slashes. As Red watches, he sees an image of his Charmander in Charizard, admiring how strong it has become and reflecting on how far they've come. Deciding to finish the battle once and for all, Red yells for one last Mega Punch, to which Charizard roars in agreement, charging its fist with glowing yellow energy before delivering a sickening blow to Mewtwo's torso. The damage is devastating and sends Mewtwo flying straight into a nearby stalagmite. Despite remaining conscious, the Legendary Pokémon can barely remain standing, and Red seizes the chance by throwing another Ultra Ball at it. Mewtwo is sucked into the Ball, which shakes for a couple of intense seconds before finally stopping, signaling that the capture was successful. Overjoyed at finally capturing the 150th Pokémon, Red picks up the Ultra Ball and raises it into the air. Charizard roars in victory, reverting to its normal form before it and Red rush at each other, celebrating their success.

Once again back in Pallet Town, Professor Oak holds a small party at his laboratory, celebrating both Red and Blue, for thanks to them, the Pokédex is finally complete. Blue rants about how he should have been the one to catch Mewtwo, as he's supposed to be the Champion. Red suddenly realizes something, and Professor Oak asks what he's thinking. Red explains that he just understood that Mewtwo was created from a Pokémon named Mew, which means that there is still one more Pokémon out there for him to catch. Everyone gasps at the revelation, and Red stands up, ready to start his search for the 151st Pokémon. Unnoticed by anyone, a Mew suddenly appears outside of the window. Apparently having heard Red's words, it smiles teasingly before flying away.

==Trivia==
[[File:Hall of Fame Slowking Jynx PO.png|thumb|250px|Jynx's original design and Slowking in the Hall of Fame]]
* This episode was the first public appearance of {{me|Charizard}} X and served as its official reveal.
* A {{p|Growlithe}} plays with a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}-like plush toy in [[Mr. Fuji]]'s {{DL|Lavender Town|Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House}}.
* Some of the pictures in the [[Hall of Fame]] feature {{p|Jynx}} with black skin instead of the purple that has been present since [[Generation III]] ([[Generation II]] internationally).
* A {{p|Slowking}} is seen in a photo of a previous {{pkmn|Champion}} in the Hall of Fame, despite being a [[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* {{TP|Red|Charizard}}'s tail flame is not extinguished when it falls into Cerulean Cave's water, likely because it is generated by the Pokémon itself.
* When {{OBP|Red|Origins}} shows Professor Oak his completed Pokédex (sans {{p|Mewtwo}}), {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} exclaims that had he caught Mewtwo, he would have obtained "all 149 Pokémon". Since Mewtwo is actually the 150th Pokémon, this means that there was still one other species that Blue had not caught. This is not addressed by Red or [[Professor Oak]], and the remaining Pokémon that Blue did not catch is not specified.
* This episode is the only instance that {{m|Barrage}} is used in {{pkmn|animation}}.

===Errors===
* {{p|Lapras}}'s lower jaw is blue instead of cream during Red and Blue's battle.
* After catching Mewtwo, the yellow H on its [[Ultra Ball]] is missing when Red runs towards Charizard.
* Mega Charizard X's lower jaw is miscolored as black instead of light blue when Mewtwo breaks out of its Ultra Ball and just before Charizard reverts back into its normal state.

===Dub edits===
* In the Japanese version, the texts of the journals remain the same as in the games. In the dub, they were altered, much like in the localizations of the games.
** The reference to [[Guyana]] in the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|Pokémon Mansion journal]] was left out of the English dub, instead referring to Mew's finding place simply as "the jungle."

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, all three Lumiose first partner Pokémon can be caught and encountered.


==Trivia==
* You can attempt to choose [[Pancham (Pokémon)|Pancham]] as your starter Pokémon if you walk over to it. Unfortunately, it ends up being completely unobtainable as you get scolded for trying to 'steal'.
* Like the [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partners]] of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], this trio features Pokémon from multiple different regions outside the game's setting.
** Incidentally, both [[Core series#Pokémon Legends|Pokémon Legends]] games have trios that include first partners from [[Johto first partner Pokémon|Johto]] and [[Unova first partner Pokémon|Unova]].
