'''Duskull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨマワル''' ''Yomawaru'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dusclops}} starting at [[level]] 37, which evolves into {{p|Dusknoir}} when [[trade]]d while holding a [[Reaper Cloth]].

==Biology==
Duskull is a stylized personification of the {{wp|Grim Reaper}}. Its body is a black robe with two bones on its back. It has a mask that resembles a skull and has a single eye that floats between the eye sockets.

Duskull is also able to become invisible to sneak up on its prey and go through walls. Duskull is primarily a [[nocturnal Pokémon]] and has been shown to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|thick forests}}. It is said that this Pokémon will spirit away disobedient children, and it has been described to enjoy the crying of children. Once Duskull chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn.

==Trivia==
* Duskull can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shuppet}}. Both are [[Generation III]] Ghost-type Pokémon. Both evolve into their evolved forms starting at level 37. Both also have the same base stat total.

===Origin===
Duskull may be based on the {{wp|Death (personification)|Grim Reaper}} or the {{wp|bogeyman}}. The Japanese equivalent of the bogeyman is called the {{wp|Namahage}}. Its shape is similar to a {{wp|Hitodama}}, the Japanese representation of a human soul.

====Name origin====
Duskull is a combination of ''dusk'' and ''skull''.

Yomawaru is a combination of 妖魔 ''yōma'' ({{wp|ghost}}) and 悪 ''waru'' (bad thing/person). It may also derive from 夜回り ''yomawari'' (night watch[man]) or 夜回る ''yomawaru'' (night wanderer). It is also similar to {{jwp|山童|Yamawarawa}} (a hairy, one-eyed spirit, sometimes considered a kappa), present in ''{{wp|Gazu Hyakki Yagyō|The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons}}''.

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Magikarp is a fish Pokémon with large, heavy reddish-orange scales. It has large, vacant eyes and pink lips. Its {{wp|fish fin|pectoral}} and tail fins are white. On its back is stiff, three-peaked yellow fin; there is an identical fin on its underside. It also has long {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}. The barbels are white on a female and tan on a male. A long-lived Magikarp is able to utilize its immense splashing power to leap high enough to scale mountains. It also has a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters. However, it is usually overlooked by Trainers because of its perceived weakness: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than modern Magikarp, and this led scientists to research this species.

Magikarp is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|many bodies of water}}, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. It is normally seen using its former [[signature move]], {{m|Splash}}, to leap out of the water, which makes it an easy target for predators such as {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Pidgeot}}.

==Trivia==
* Magikarp is tied with {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Regigigas}} for being the lowest level Pokémon encountered in the wild, as well as also tied with Gyarados for the highest level Pokémon encountered in the wild. In {{v2|Platinum}}, Magikarp can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Resort Area]], and in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, it can be found at the same levels in the [[Nature Preserve]]; both require a [[Super Rod]].
* Magikarp and its evolution require the fewest [[Egg cycles]] to hatch, with five.
** Magikarp and its evolution are the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by base Egg cycles|unique base Egg cycle]].
* Magikarp was the first Pokémon featured in [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] in [[EP061]].
* Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados|its evolution}}'s [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares several notable similarities to {{p|Feebas}}:
** Its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Feebas.
*** However, Feebas can learn moves from [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an Egg with [[Egg Move]]s, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.
** Magikarp shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with Feebas. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
** Magikarp and Feebas have almost identical stats. However, Magikarp has a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}, while Feebas has a higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. Both Attack and Defense stats for Magikarp and Feebas are reversed.
** They share the largest base stat total increase of all Pokémon when they evolve: 340 (from 200 to 540).
** They both change appearances drastically after evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon which can be found in every course in the game [[Pokémon Snap]] except Rainbow Cloud (which features only {{p|Mew}}).
* Together with {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Magikarp is tied with {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, and {{p|Weedle}} for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Conquest]] that uses a move that would not give it [[same-type attack bonus]] in the main series games, as it uses {{m|Splash}}.
* On July 28, 2016 and May 12, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] respectively posted a Magikarp-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[the Magikarp Song]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Magikarp}}
Magikarp is based on the {{wp|Asian carp}}, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m.) in the air.

Magikarp's evolution into Gyarados is based on a legend about how carp that leaped over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in {{g|Snap}} where, after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves.

====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'', possibly mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with "magic" powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not (though carp are said to be able to transform into dragons, which is magical in its own way).

Koiking is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'' (carp) and ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gyarados''' using the [[Gyaradosite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Gyarados Mouth Closed.png|thumb|left|230px|Gyarados with its mouth closed]]
Gyarados is a serpentine Pokémon with a long body covered in slightly overlapping scales. It is mostly blue with a yellow underbelly and a row of yellow spots down each side. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four pointed teeth and yellow lips. It has one {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbel}} and a small white fin on each side of its face. The barbels are white on a female and tan on a male. It has small, red eyes, a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head, and four white, spiky {{wp|dorsal fin}}s. Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points.

The process of evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. It appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. Gyarados lives in both {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh and salty waters}}. Both Gyarados and its Mega form have demonstrated in the anime that it can leap huge distances both [[SS002|from the water]] and [[XY133|from the ground]], usually several times its own body length.

When it Mega Evolves, Gyarados becomes bulkier. The fins on its cheeks become longer and gain a yellow tint. Its crest is larger and black, and its barbels also gain considerable length. A large spike extends downward underneath its chin, and it now has a black underside with a red stripe around the edges. The yellow spots along its body are replaced by raised red scales, which propel Mega Gyarados through the water. Two large yellow fins with blue spines appear on its back. Most of the other fins along its back disappear, replaced by two rows of blue spikes. There are now four yellowish, spiky fins near is tail: two on its back and two on its underside. While its brain it has a powerful destructive instinct, it will obey a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusts. Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Unbound]] as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gyarados' name was ''Skulkraken'', a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'' (a mythological sea monster).
* Gyarados's original design resembled a massive leech-like creature without eyes.<ref>https://www.newsweek.com/pokemon-beta-designs-red-green-1265710</ref>
* Gyarados is tied with {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Regigigas}} for being the lowest level Pokémon encountered in the wild, as well as also tied with Magikarp for the highest level Pokémon encountered in the wild. In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, Gyarados can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Nature Preserve]] by using a [[Super Rod]] in rippling water.
* In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Gyarados is the first of only two [[Shiny Pokémon]] to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}).
* Gyarados is tied with {{p|Milotic}} for the greatest increase in base stat total after evolving, at 340 points.
* As of [[Generation VII]], Gyarados and its pre-evolution's [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* As of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Gyarados is used by three of the nine Pokémon League Champions, being used by {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and [[Wallace]], making it the most popular Pokémon among Pokémon League Champions thus far (although Blue does not always have a Gyarados, depending on the player's starter Pokémon). However, Blue is the only one to use it in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** Gyarados is also a popular Pokémon among [[Gym Leader]]s, being used by [[Misty]], Blue, [[Clair]], and [[Crasher Wake]]. However, Misty doesn't use Gyarados during the Gym battle.
** Gyarados has also been used twice by two {{cat|villainous team leaders}}. The first instance was [[Cyrus]] and the second instance was [[Lysandre]].
* In many ways, Gyarados is the counterpart of {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the serpentine evolved forms of weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats.
* Mega Gyarados has highest Attack stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Unbound]] and {{p|Umbreon}} for having the highest Special Defense of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}} and {{wp|chinese dragon}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This is referenced by [[Pokémon Snap]], as the player needs to get a Magikarp into a waterfall to evolve it into Gyarados. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).

Its {{type|Flying}} may be a reference of {{wp|koinobori}}, a carp-shaped {{wp|wind sock}} traditionally flown to celebrate the {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan, formerly called ''Tango no Sekku'' (端午の節句). It could also be inspired by the {{wp|Inkanyamba}}, a giant, winged, eel that causes storms when angry - a trait Gyarados is famous for.

====Name origin====
Gyarados may derive from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (massacre/slaughter) or 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (hardship/adversity)—both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. In addition, 逆 ''gyaku'' means "reverse" or "contrary", possibly referring to how Gyarados evolves from a weak Pokémon to one capable of destroying entire cities, and, in legend, how the carp goes against the flow of the waterfall in order to reach the top. It may also involve 嵐 ''arashi'' (storm) or 争い ''arasoi'' (conflict, referencing on how it appeared during wars). The last part may be from 脅す ''odosu'' (to threaten), again owing to Gyarados' violent nature.

[[File:479Rotom-Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|[[Rotom Pokédex]] in Pokémon Sun and Moon]]

The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is a digital encyclopedia created by [[Professor Oak]] as an invaluable tool to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, cry, footprint (prior to [[Generation VI]]), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.

==Functions==
The Pokédex is a handheld electronic encyclopedia device; one which is capable of recording and retaining information of the various Pokémon of the world. In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete Pokémon database, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the Trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle or, sometimes, by seeing a picture of the Pokémon. However, detailed entries are not recorded until the player catches the Pokémon, receives it as a prize/gift or acquires it in a trade.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide details that would otherwise be unexplored in the games. Complete entries can only be seen for captured Pokémon, while uncaptured Pokémon only have limited information.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries are simple and each individual section can be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main option—"Data"—includes an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, {{pkmn|category}}, height, weight, and a short blurb. The second option—"[[Cry]]"—does not open a new screen; selecting it simply plays the Pokémon's cry. The last option—"Area"—displays the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon can be found; in cases where the Pokémon is not available in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, is only available {{pkmn2|Legendary|once}}, or can only be found by [[fishing]] or in the [[Cerulean Cave|Unknown Dungeon]], the message "Area Unknown" will be displayed over the center of the map instead. {{game|Yellow}} allows players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].

====Generation II====
[[Generation II]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY808) retains the same elements as its predecessor, while adding the Pokémon's [[footprint]] to the information and, like Yellow, allows players to print entries. Unlike Generation I, selecting a Pokémon displays the entry in a new screen from which the other sections can be selected. This became the norm for subsequent generations. International versions also have a "Page" button for long Pokédex entries (in Generation I player simply had to press A button instead); Japanese versions did not have multi-page Pokédex entries.

In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply display an unmarked map.

====Generation III====
[[Generation III]]'s Pokédex did not add anything to the main entry; however, Cry was given its own page, which displays the sound wave as it played. In addition, the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of just marking them and can now display the locations of Pokémon obtainable by [[fishing]]. A Size section was added, which displays silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} only, there is a Page button to switch between pages of multi-page Pokédex entries.

{{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displays entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its menu sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen. Additionally, in the international versions, it is the first Pokédex to show long Pokédex entries in full, instead of splitting them into two pages. This was carried over to later games, including Emerald.

====Generation IV====
[[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only type. Area now changes its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found normally or exclusively using [[Honey]], and the player can view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which puts the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allows players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they have already seen. Males and females of all Pokémon with differing gender are shown separately under in the Forms section even if there is no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]]. For a small list of Pokémon, if the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can [[Foreign Pokédex entries|change the language]] of that Pokémon's entry after meeting Meister. In Platinum, this function was expanded to all Pokémon, although it still requires Meister to update the Pokédex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting "view details", players can view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaults to the current time or differentiated for Honey due to it no longer being a mechanic, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Players can collect foreign Pokédex entries without the need to update their Pokédex. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this.

====Generation V====
[[File:Key Pokédex m Sprite.png|thumb|Male Unova Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
[[File:Key Pokédex f Sprite.png|thumb|Female Unova Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
The [[Generation V]] Pokédex is similar to the Pokédex from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is displayed as a list on the right side of the lower screen with the selected Pokémon's sprite occupying the left side. Most of its functions are also similar to [[Generation IV]]'s. Instead of showing the time of day that a Pokémon can be caught, as in Generation IV, the Pokédex shows the seasons in which it can be found. Areas in which the Pokémon can be found flash red, and touching an area will show the methods by which it can be caught (walking in [[tall grass]], {{m|surf}}ing, or [[fishing]]). The height and weight comparison feature has been removed, but a section showing form differences and a search feature are added by [[Cedric Juniper]] when the player visits [[Mistralton City]]. The form difference section will now show [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well as form differences. The last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. The ability to collect foreign Pokédex entries now only applies to the first 493 Pokémon, but the player can now also collect Korean Pokédex entries. The cry page has been added again as well.

In Black 2 and White 2, after defeating [[Cheren]] for the first time, [[Bianca]] will upgrade the player's Pokédex with the [[Habitat List]], showing which Pokémon the player has already seen in the selected location, either normally, by finding in the water or via fishing rod (the latter two available later). If all Pokémon available in that place that are available via one of these three ways are seen (such as {{p|Purrloin}} and {{p|Patrat}} for tall grass on {{rt|19|Unova}}), the reference to the location in such way is marked with a Poké Ball-like stamp; after catching all Pokémon that are found via one of these three ways in current place, it gets marked with a colored Poké Ball-like stamp.

In all four games, extra Pokédex skins can also be downloaded through the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

====Generation VI====
The [[Generation VI]] Pokédex is card-shaped and has a holographic center that is visible when the two ends are separated. It is also separated into three categories: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos, and each category has a different icon in the Pokédex menu. The Coastal Pokédex is represented by a blue stripe on the left side of a pentagon, the Central Pokédex is represented by a white stripe down the middle of a pentagon, and the Mountain Pokédex is represented by a red stripe on the right side of a pentagon. The symbol for the National Pokédex is a [[Poké Ball]].

If the player obtains a Pokémon that was created in Generation VI, the symbol in the Pokédex indicating it has been caught is a combination of the three Kalos Pokédex symbols: a pentagon with vertical blue, white, and red stripes. This resembles the {{wp|flag of France}}, the region on which Kalos is based. If a Pokémon is transferred from a previous generation, the symbol will instead be a Poké Ball. The latter symbol can be updated to the former symbol if the player obtains a Pokémon of that species originating from Generation VI. If all Pokémon are obtained from Generation VI games, the Pokédex will be marked with a crown on the selection screen.

In the [[National Pokédex]], there are color codes used to represent Pokémon introduced in each [[generation]]: red for [[Generation I]], yellow for {{gen|II}}, green for {{gen|III}}, blue for {{gen|IV}}, pink for {{gen|V}}, and silver for {{gen|VI}}. Like in Generation V, players may choose the default entry image for each Pokémon species, as long as they have seen that gender, coloration, or form of that species before. Like in previous games, acquiring Pokémon from foreign-language games will unlock the ability to view entries in those languages, so long as the player owns or has owned a Pokémon from that language. This time, all Pokémon entries can be obtained, allowing for both Generation V and VI entries for the first time.

[[File:Key Rotom Pokédex Sprite.png|thumb|Rotom Pokédex sprite when obtaining it]]
====Generation VII====
The [[Generation VII]] Pokédex consists of a device specially-designed to be inhabited by a {{p|Rotom}}, an innovation that gives the Pokédex its own personality and is intended as a new way for humans and Pokémon to communicate. In addition to a standard Pokédex function, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] includes a detailed map that can point out nearby locations of interest, and remind the player of the next objective based on recent conversations with NPCs. The Rotom Pokédex is a rare model even in the [[Alola]] region where it was created.

Like the Kalos Pokédex, the Alola Pokédex is divided into several categories, with a section for each of the four main islands of the region. Unlike the Kalos Pokédex, Pokémon in Alola can be found in more than one section of the Pokédex. In addition to the number of Pokémon seen and owned, it also displays the total percentage of Pokédex completion. Event-exclusive [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], [[regional variant]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s have separate entries from the rest of their species. Unlike previous generations, a Pokémon's gender is only shown separately under the Forms section if there is a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|visible gender difference]]. The player can also scan QR codes to add Pokémon they haven't encountered yet to the Pokédex, allowing them to check the Pokémon's location in Alola.

====Generation VIII====
The [[Generation VIII]] Pokedex is the [[Rotom Phone]], which is similar to the Rotom Dex.

===Search and order===
The original Pokédex had no search function.

In [[Generation II]], the ability to search for Pokémon by [[type]] was added, as well as the ability to sort by [[New Pokédex]] mode, Old Pokédex mode, [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]] mode and [[Unown Mode]].

In [[Generation III|Ruby and Sapphire]], the search function was expanded to allow searches by name and [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Players were also given the option to order Pokémon by Heaviest, Lightest, Tallest, or Smallest. Two modes were available, [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]]. National mode was unlocked via a trade with [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]], or, in {{game3|Emerald|Emerald}}, defeating the [[Elite Four]].

However, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the search function was dropped altogether, instead choosing to expand the sort functions by adding lists of Pokémon by type and [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat]]. Heaviest and Tallest orders were also removed. National Mode was unlocked by having obtained 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex, beating the Elite Four and completing the Sevii Island's sidequest.

[[Generation IV]] brought the Search function back, as well as Heaviest and Tallest orders. Habitat was dropped. Searches could now be conducted by [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]], but not by Color. The two Pokédex modes were [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]] and National. National mode was unlocked by seeing every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} added the ability to search by Height and Weight (instead of simply sorting by them), and also allowed search by Area ([[Johto]], [[Kanto]], or Unknown). National Mode was added by talking with [[Professor Oak]] in the [[S.S. Aqua]] port in [[Olivine City]] after defeating the Elite Four.

In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex for {{4v|Black|White}} allows the player to search for Pokémon with the following criteria: Order ([[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Number]], [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Heavy to Light]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Light to Heavy]], [[List of Pokémon by height|Tall to Short]], and [[List of Pokémon by height|Short to Tall]]), [[List of Pokémon by name|Name]] (All letters of the alphabet), Type, [[List of Pokémon by color|Color]], which was returned to the search after being dropped in [[Generation IV]], and [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]]. Unlike in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the ability to search for Pokémon by area was dropped. By changing the Pokédex type, the player can search for [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Pokémon native to the Unova Region]] or from other regions, but in order to search for other Pokémon, the player must have first been obtained the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] upgrade from [[Cedric Juniper]] after the defeat of [[Ghetsis]]{{sup/5|BW}}/[[Iris]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. After obtaining the upgrade, the player can switch the Pokédex type from the National Pokédex to the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] at will by simply tapping "SELECT" in the lower portion of the touch screen or by pressing the SELECT button on the DS System. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, it is not possible to use the Search Function in the Habitat List mode of the Pokédex.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the ability to search for Pokémon that are not caught was added. Furthermore, only the currently set form of a Pokémon will be considered by the Pokédex when sorting and searching. All other forms will be ignored, and the form setting will not change to make the Pokémon match the search criteria. If the form is changed in the entry and the Pokémon either no longer matches the search criteria or belongs in a different place in the list, its entry will vanish or move according to its new form. The regional Pokédex is divided into three categories, each with separate Pokémon and search functions: Central Kalos (the first one unlocked), Coastal Kalos (unlocked by [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] upon entering {{rt|8|Kalos}}), and Mountain Kalos (unlocked by Sina and Dexio in the gate between [[Coumarine City]] and {{rt|13|Kalos}}, after beating [[Ramos]]). The National Pokédex upgrade is obtained from Dexio after entering the Hall of Fame, upon entering Lumiose Station.

[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] kept all the search features from {{2v2|X|Y}}, with some new additions. This time, all forms of a Pokémon registered will be taken in account when sorting and searching, even if they aren't the currently set form. There is also an option to search for Pokémon whose [[Mega Evolution]] form or {{shiny}} appearance have been registered.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Pokédex is divided into 4 Island Pokédexes, which feature the Pokémon found in each island of [[Alola]] (thus sharing species). Combined, they form the Alola Pokédex, which gathers all the Pokémon present in the Island Pokédexes, plus some others, like [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s. The search/sorting function is only present in the Alola Pokédex proper. In addition to the features available in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a new option is present, that allows to search for Pokémon whose [[Alola Form]] has been seen. There is no National Pokédex mode in these games.


==Evaluation==
There are various mechanisms to evaluate the number of Pokémon in the Pokédex. These mechanisms will display a quote relating to the number of Pokémon seen or caught, often including a hint to the player of how to progress.

In all games in which [[Professor Oak]] appears, he will evaluate the player's Pokédex according to the number of Pokémon they have caught. In games which feature the [[National Pokédex]], Oak's evaluation takes this into account, but in a different way according to the game:
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Oak gives specific quotes according to the number of Pokémon caught in the regional Pokédex, and a general quote according to whether they have completed the National Pokédex or not
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Oak will only comment on the National Pokédex, according to the number of Pokémon caught
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Oak will comment on both the regional and National Pokédexes, according to the number of Pokémon caught

In [[Hoenn]]-based games, [[Professor Birch]] will evaluate the player's Pokédex:
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Birch comments on the regional Pokédex, according to the number of Pokémon caught, but only after [[Wally]] catches a {{p|Ralts}}. He will also give the number of Pokémon caught in the National dex, after it is obtained
* In {{game|Emerald}}, it works the same as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, except that Birch will start to evaluate after the player gets the [[PokéNav]]
* In {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, Birch will comment on the regional Pokédex according to the number of Pokémon seen, and the national Pokédex according to the number caught

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as Oak evaluating the National dex as noted above, [[Professor Rowan]] will also evaluate the regional dex according to the number seen.

In {{game4|Black|White|Black 2|White 2}}, [[Professor Juniper]] will evaluate the regional Pokédex according to both seen and caught Pokémon.

In {{g|X and Y}}, [[Professor Sycamore]] will evaluate all three regional Pokédexes according to seen Pokémon, and the National Pokédex according to caught Pokémon.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] itself will evaluate according to the number of Pokémon seen in each of the four islands as well as in [[Alola]] as a whole.

==Completion==
[[File:Diploma RB.png|thumb|Diploma awarded in Red and Blue]]
:''See also: [[Diploma]]''
Completing the Pokédex is a common goal of Trainers and carries with it much esteem due to its difficulty, which has gradually escalated due to the fact that around 100 new Pokémon are introduced with each new generation. However, this is mitigated to a degree by new features added to the games, such as Wi-Fi and the [[Global Trade System]] in [[Generation IV]], and a less restrictive trading system (between PC boxes instead of only active teams) in [[Generation V]]. The exclusion of event Pokémon as a requirement for completing the Pokédex also makes it possible for people with no access to event distributions to complete the Pokédex.

[[File:XY National Diploma.png|thumb|left|250px|The diploma awarded for the completion of the [[National Pokédex]] in {{pkmn|X and Y}}]]
The in-game rewards are usually a congratulations from the director's avatar and a [[diploma]], usually one for completing the regional Pokédex and one for the National Pokédex. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the player could choose from one of the Johto [[starter Pokémon]] for completing the Hoenn Dex. The completion of the Pokédex also usually allows the player to upgrade his/her {{ga|Trainer Card}}. Also, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the diploma will appear on the shelf in the player's bedroom.

In Generations I to III, the completion of the regional Pokédex is tracked by how many Pokémon the player has caught. However, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}, the regional Pokédex is tracked simply by how many Pokémon the player has seen. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though, it again registers only Pokémon that have been caught. In Generation V, though [[Professor Juniper]] originally evaluates the player's regional Pokédex based on the Pokémon the player has seen, they may still only receive a diploma after having caught all regional Pokémon. Completion of the National Pokédex is always based only on the number of Pokémon caught.

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, the system is revised to give the player more in-game recognition of their achievements. Once all the Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex have been seen, Professor Juniper presents the player a [[Permit]], allowing access to the [[Nature Preserve]]. Once the player has caught all of the Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex, Professor Juniper will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] which increases the chances of finding [[Pokémon Egg]]s at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. When the player completes the [[National Pokédex]], Professor Juniper gives the player a [[Shiny Charm]], which increases the chances of encountering and hatching [[Shiny Pokémon]].

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Professor Sycamore]] will reward the player with an [[Oval Charm]] upon seeing all Pokémon in the Kalos Pokédex, except for {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}. Upon completing the [[National Pokédex]], the player will receive a [[Shiny Charm]] from Sycamore.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Professor Birch]] will reward the player with an [[Oval Charm]] upon seeing all Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, except for {{p|Jirachi}}. Should the player complete the [[National Pokédex]], Birch will also reward the player with a [[Shiny Charm]]. Also in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the diplomas given by the director can be displayed in the player's [[Secret Base]] and can be viewed in the same way when obtaining it from the director. Other players visiting the secret base cannot see the full image on the diplomas, but instead will view it as an "impressive certificate".

==In the anime==
[[File:Zoey Glameow Pokédex scan.png|thumb|220px|A Pokédex scanning a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}]]
===In the main series===
When a young [[Sam]], who later turned out to be {{an|Professor Oak}}'s younger self, was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. This is an example of a {{wp|causal loop}}, meaning the idea for the Pokédex came out of nowhere.

In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash receives his first Pokédex, apparently nicknamed "Dexter". Throughout the series, Ash uses it to either identify {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he is not familiar with, check a Pokémon's moves, or identify Pokémon on request. Occasionally, though, Ash will scan Pokémon he has already seen, likely to either refresh his memory or out of curiosity.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] tells Ash that the Pokédex can be used as an {{wp|Identity document|ID card}}. Since then, Ash has used his Pokédex to register for the various [[Pokémon League]]s he has participated in. As shown in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', the Pokédex can also be used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s registering to obtain a [[Contest Pass]] for entering [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Brock}} tells Ash that a [[Pokémon Trainer]] can use their Pokédex to exchange their Pokémon.

[[File:Ash Dawn Pokédexes.png|thumb|left|220px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} using the Pokédex]]
In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as a true encyclopedia than a data recording device. However, it should be noted that information relayed to the user may vary from time to time. This may happen even if the Pokédex remains unchanged in any way.

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. The image displayed will be [[Ken Sugimori]]'s official artwork. In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', however, a stylized art of {{p|Raikou}} was shown when {{jo|Jimmy}} looked it up.

In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, it was revealed that it can identify the Pokémon's [[level]] and learned [[move]]s, even for [[wild Pokémon]]. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information.

[[File:Pokédex no data.png|thumb|220px|A Pokédex displaying the "no data" message]]
Attempting to identify an unknown Pokémon, usually one not native to the region the Pokédex was designed for, yields the message "no data". This message may also appear when scanning a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} or [[Legendary Pokémon]].

In [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Unova]], the Pokédex has a male voice, while in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]] it has a female voice. The upgraded Pokédex Ash and {{an|Serena}} received at the end of ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'' also has a male voice in the Japanese version. The gender of the voice may vary in some international dubs.

Like in the games, the Pokédex has gone through various designs. This includes its shape and way of opening, display, as well as the aforementioned voice. The Unova Pokédex redesign in the anime is significant, as it shows all the viewing angles from the Pokémon, with the exception of the back.

Trainers without the luxury of a Pokédex may have access to other means of finding information. Some use high-tech computers, like {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' or [[Shingo]] in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. In several episodes, [[James]] used a deck of cards, which slightly resemble {{Trading Card Game}} cards. In the {{series|XY}}, the deck of cards was replaced with a hologram laptop, and in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} with a book.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Pokédex PO.png|thumb|250px|Kanto Pokédex in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The Kanto Pokédex appeared during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries, where they served the same purpose as in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}} games. They recorded basic info of any Pokémon encountered, and detailed info of any Pokémon caught. Much like in the games, one was given to both {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} by [[Professor Oak]]. By the end of the [[PO04|last episode]] of the miniseries, Red had managed to capture all 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon, excluding only {{p|Mew}}. Blue's Pokédex was later crushed when his {{p|Blastoise}} accidentally crashed onto it while he was battling {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Cerulean Cave]].

Besides listing all the caught Pokémon in numerical order, the Pokédex was also able to sort the recorded Pokémon data by other factors, such as the type, as seen when Professor Oak tried to identify the Pokémon Blue had fought by going through the list of {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in Red's Pokédex.

In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low {{stat|HP}}. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's license.

Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} gives {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Pokédex Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Pokédexes of the holders from the {{chap|Emerald}}]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], only a [[Pokédex holder|select group of people]] have Pokédexes and they are highly respected as a result. The Pokédexes come in groups of three per region, and are generally given out along with a starter Pokémon from the region's Professor. The only exceptions to this rule are the second set of Unova Pokédexes and the Alola Pokédexes, both of which only have two. Each Pokédex has a holder registration system, meaning when it is assigned, the holder must register his or her name and fingerprints, which means each of the Pokédexes is only allowed to have one rightful owner. However, it is possible to transfer data from one Pokédex to an upgraded version, leaving the Pokédex that had its data transferred with no rightful owner, and thus, the Pokédex would be able to be reassigned to a new owner. It is shown that when the three Pokédexes from the same region are put together, a Pokédex will make a beeping sound as a signal to indicate that another Pokédex is nearby. This only works when held by their rightful owner, as seen in ''[[PS085|Gimme Shellder]]''. This signal seems to apply for all models of the Pokédex, and the Sinnoh Pokédex holder trio refers to it as the "morning sound" (Japanese: '''朝の音'''), due to it being used to wake the trio up every morning while they were together.

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves of an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, its cry, its current moves, and can even track them. Unlike in the anime, the Pokédex entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text rather than having the information spoken out loud. The Pikachu interaction feature from {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the {{chap|Yellow}}, and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the feature added in {{game|Crystal}} allows one to view a Pokémon's origin. In addition to these functions, the Pokédex is able to record and project hologram images and can serve as a portable transporter with the assistance of a [[Pokégear]] and Mobile Adapter cable.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{adv|Professor Oak}} asks {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} to return their Pokédexes to him, so that he could upgrade them to National Dex. Though in the process, they get stolen by [[Orm]] and used by [[Carr]] to create a "black Pokédex" (Japanese: '''黒い図鑑'''). Later in the story, the new Pokédexes are received by the trio, and Red's old one is given to Yellow, while Blue and Green's old Pokédexes are destroyed by {{adv|Deoxys}}. In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, the Johto Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well, though it is unknown what happened to their original Pokédexes. In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, the Hoenn Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well, though it is unknown what happened to their original Pokédexes. In addition, the Pokédex formerly held by Cheren was later given back to Cedric Juniper, and eventually destroyed. The third Kalos Pokédex was found by [[Malva]] along with {{p|Fennekin}}, but it was destroyed after she deemed it worthless.

There are currently 21 Pokédexes in operation, 4 Pokédexes destroyed, and 6 Pokédexes that have their statuses unknown, coming in ten models based on region and mode. In addition, there is Team Rocket's black Pokédex, which is also currently missing.

While most of the holders have red Pokédexes, the Pokédex can also come in a variety of colors. Crystal, White, and Whitley have pink Pokédexes, while Diamond and Pearl carry a blue Pokédex and an orange Pokédex, respectively.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PokédexHANDY910isDiamondPearl111.jpg|thumb|220px|Pokédex HANDY910is]]
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. The Generation V Pokédex has no model number even in the Japanese card; it also has the same effect and English name as the Generation I Pokédex. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Pokédex in two of his lectures:
** For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん」 ''"When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."''
** For ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「こまったらけんさくいっぱつポケモンずかん」 ''"If you are stuck, one search of the Pokédex is all you need."''
* Many Pokédexes appear similar to one of Nintendo's handhelds.
** The Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]].
** The Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], whilst the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]].
** Both versions of the Hoenn Pokédex appear similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]].
** The Sinnoh Pokédex resembles a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
* In most canons, the Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:
** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught, and if captured, its number will be listed as "???" (or not listed at all in the case of Sun and Moon) in the [[Party|summary]] screen.
** Similarly, {{Gary}}'s Pokédex failed to identify {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} at the [[Viridian Gym]], displaying only static interference.
* All of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, as are all of the Pokédexes for male player characters in the games, while other characters have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex, Dawn has a pink Pokédex, [[Rhyanna]] has an ice blue Pokédex, [[Narissa]] has an orange Pokédex, and [[Mamie]] has a lavender Pokédex.
* The only Pokédex Ash has never owned is the Pokédex introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, but such has been owned by {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]].
* The Kanto regional Pokédex and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex ({{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Kalos regional Pokédex, with 454 members.
* The Pokédex models of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} rounded the weights of all Pokémon to full pounds except for {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, despite the Japanese games' use of tenths of kilograms since the start. From [[Generation III]] onward, all weights have been given to the nearest tenth of a pound.
* The Pokédex has usually lost several buttons with every new model, due to various upgrades: Kanto's first model has twenty-two buttons; Kanto's third model has nine; Johto's original model has five; Kanto's second model, both of Hoenn's models, and Sinnoh's only have three; and Johto's second model, both of Unova's models, the Kalos model, and the Alola model all apparently have no buttons whatsoever, solely using the touch-screen interface.
* Numerous toy Pokédexes have been manufactured by companies like {{wp|Tiger Electronics}} and [[Jakks Pacific]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear]]'s map displays the hat of Ethan's icon in its updated Generation IV design; however, the Pokédex map displays the icon's hat in its Generation II design.
* The Pokédex entries in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] for Pokémon not native to [[Unova]] are the same as those from [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a highly accomplished {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the original {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as their [[remake]]s, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], awarding the {{Badge|Rain}} to those who defeat him. In {{v2|Emerald}}, he becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] after passing down the Gym to [[Juan]], his former instructor.

Wallace also excels in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, can be encountered in [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty Contests]]. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Sootopolitan''' (Japanese: '''ルネのたみ''' ''Citizen of {{tt|Rune|Sootopolis}}'') and the only character in the {{pkmn|anime}} to be referred to as a '''Contest Master''' (Japanese: '''コンテストマスター''' ''Contest Master'').

==In the games==
In Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, he runs the Sootopolis City Gym where he gives out the Rain Badge as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}{{sup/3|RS}} or {{HM|05|Waterfall}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}. In Emerald, the storyline was revised so that he passes down the Gym to his mentor, and Wallace instead maintains a position as the Champion of the Pokémon League. {{Steven}}, who was the Champion in the previous versions, is instead a legendary wandering Trainer.

In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Wallace participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], joining Steven in representing Hoenn in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Wallace occasionally enters [[Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s. The {{player}} may compete against him in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] of the [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty category]] after entering the [[Pokémon League]]'s [[Hall of Fame]].

But there aren't just two super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc>. There is one more somewhere. Somewhere, there is a super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc> named <sc>Rayquaza</sc>. It's said that it was <sc>Rayquaza</sc> that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past. But even I have no clue as to <sc>Rayquaza</sc>'s wherabouts…"''
:''"<Player>, do you perhaps know where <sc>Rayquaza</sc> is now? If you do, please tell me."''
::'''Cave of Origin''': ''"The <sc>Cave of Origin</sc>? But that's right here! I need you to do better than that! Please, I need you to think about where <sc>Rayquaza</sc> might be right now."''
::'''Mt. Pyre''': "''<sc>[[Mt. Pyre]]</sc>? But when I met the old lady there earlier, she made no mention of it. I very much doubt that the old lady would try to hide something from me… <player>, could you think about this more carefully for me?"''
::'''Sky Pillar''': ''"The <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>? That's it! It must be the <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>! <player>, there's no a moment to lose! We'll head to the <sc>Sky Pillar</sc> right away!"''
::'''Don't remember''': "''Huh? You don't remember? Hmm… That's a problem… Can't you remember somehow?"''

* After solving crisis
:''"<player>… The leaders of <sc>Team Magma</sc> and <sc>Aqua</sc>, I don't think they meant harm. It wouldn't hurt to hear what they have to say for themselves."''
* After solving crisis and talking to both Archie and Maxie.
:''"<player>… My eyes didn't deceive me. Thanks to your help, <sc>Sootopolis</sc>… No, all of <sc>Hoenn</sc> was saved. On behalf of the people, I thank you. This is a gift from me. Please accept it."''
:''"That <sc>[[HM|Hidden Machine]]</sc> contains <sc>{{m|Waterfall}}</sc>. If you have the <sc>Rain Badge</sc>, a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that has learned that HM move can force its way up waterfalls.

* If talked to again
:''"I'm sure that you will be dazzled by my mentor's breathtakingly elegant battle style."''

;[[Sky Pillar]]
:"''Oh, my, I'm terribly sorry! In my haste, I didn't noticed that I'd left you behind! I've opened the locked door of <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>. <player>, let's be on our way!"''
:"''It's an earthquake! There's not a moment to waste! We've got to hurry!"''
:"''Hmm… The situation is getting worse… This isn't good… The weather distortion is spreading even here… <player>. <sc>Rayquaza</sc> should be farther up from here. I'm worried about <sc>Sootopolis</sc>. I've got to go back. Everything is in your hands now. Don't fail us!"''

;[[Ever Grande City]]
* Before battle
:''"Welcome, <player>. That incident in <sc>Sootopolis City</sc>… That was superb work, putting an end to that crisis all by yourself. Oops! It wouldn't be fair to say that you alone ended the crisis. You overcame that difficult situation by working as one with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. We <sc>Trainers</sc> raise <sc>Pokémon</sc> by giving them items and by teaching them new techniques for battle. But we ourselves also learn many things from <sc>Pokémon</sc>. And this is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved. Now! Who can most elegantly dance with their <sc>Pokémon</sc> in <sc>Hoenn</sc>? Show me right here and now!"''

* Being defeated
:''"I, the <sc>Champion</sc>, fall in defeat… That was wonderful work. You were elegant, infuriatingly so. And yet it was utterly glorious! Kudos to you, <player>! You are a truly noble <sc>Pokémon Trainer</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"The <sc>Pokémon</sc> you sent into battle… At times they danced like a spring breeze, and at times they struck like lightning. It was with light, yet surefooted, elegance that you led your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Even I felt bedazzled by your masterful performance! You now stand at the glorious peak of the <sc>Pokémon League</sc>. I now proclaim you to be the new <sc>Hoenn</sc> region…"''
:''"<Player>! No, let me rephrase that properly. The new <sc>Champion</sc>! Come with me."''
:''"I'm sorry, but… From here on, only those <sc>Trainers</sc> who have become <sc>Champions</sc> may enter. You'll have to wait outside with <sc>[[Professor Birch|Prof. Birch]]</sc>."''

* [[Hall of Fame]]
:''"This room… This is where we keep records of <sc>Pokémon</sc> that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the <sc>League Champions</sc> are honored."''
:''"Come on, let's record your name as a <sc>Trainer</sc> who triumphed over the <sc>Pokémon League</sc>, and the names of the partners who battled with you."''

;Match Call
:''"Hello, <player>. Have you met <sc>Steven</sc>? He is… Actually incredibly skilled. However, he's an odd soul who rarely battles. Instead, he would rather look for rare stones. I'm sure he's digging in a cave or a craggy mountain somewhere. But what is a rare stone exactly? All I can think of is a <sc>Meteorite</sc>…"''

;[[Pokémon World Tournament]]
* Before battle (first round)
:''"At times your Pokémon should dance like a spring breeze, and at times they should strike like lightning. I want to feel bedazzled by your masterful performance!"''

* Before battle (second round)
:''"You have overcome challenges and made it this far because you worked as one with your Pokémon. Show me that strength here and now!"''

* Before battle (final round)
:''"Who can most elegantly dance with their Pokémon? Show me right here and now!"''

* Being defeated
:''That was wonderful work. You were elegant--infuriatingly so. And you know, it was utterly glorious!"''

* If the player is defeated
:''"I've shown you plenty of the water illusions performed by me and my Pokémon!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Bravo! I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon."''

* After winning
:''"When you think there's a difference in your demeanor, let's meet again!"''

:''"The reason for my defeat… It's… The grand illusion of water! It wasn't enough!"''

:''"'''Here…'''"''
:''"The [[HM]] I have given you contains {{m|Waterfall}}. It allows you to smash into an opponent with the force required to climb a waterfall itself. Yes, it is a mighty move… And yet it also has a certain elegance and can sometimes cause opponents to flinch. Now, with the power of the Rain Badge, you will become able to use this HM move, Waterfall, to scale walls of cascading water. Many paths are open to you now. One path would take you to the Pokémon League. It is the goal that all Trainers in Hoenn aspire to reach after obtaining all eight Gym Badges. If that is the path you chose, then you must find your way to the island said to be the most remote in Hoenn: {{color|00BFFF|Ever Grande}}. But if it is a different path you seek, and you would rather pursue Pokémon and a completed Pokédex… The rumors that reach me on the wind whisper that Professor Birch in {{color2|00BFFF|Littleroot Town|Littleroot}} has created a more powerful Pokédex. Visit him, obtain this new technology, and I have little doubt you will encounter more diverse Pokémon than ever before. …I will hope that a bright future waits for you, whatever path it is you choose."''

* After becoming Champion
:''"You have even surpassed Steven… I am disappointed at my inability to find any fitting words to offer you—you, standing now at the summit of all Hoenn Trainers. I look forward to the day when we battle once again."''

:''"No, no, you're too modest. Hah hah hah… Now then…"''
:''"Welcome again to Sootopolis, our new {{pkmn|Champion}}, <player>. Steven has told me everything. Do you wish to go to the Sky Pillar? It is true the cave that leads to the Sky Pillar can only be opened by the hand of someone descended from the ancient people of Sootopolis…as, indeed, am I. Or by one of the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], who have also lived in Hoenn since ancient times… The Sky Pillar is in fact an altar built for the ascension of Rayquaza—that Legendary Pokémon long said to be the protector of the Hoenn region. Only the ancient Draconid people know how to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar. Steven has told me of the woman [[Zinnia]]. She must be trying to revive Rayquaza for some purpose. I shall go first to the Sky Pillar. When your preparations are complete, come join me. The Sky Pillar towers over everything upon one of {{color|00BFFF|Route 131}}'s {{color|00BFFF|small islands}}."''

:''"So, you've come, <player>."''
:''"As you can see, I have undone the seal on the entrance to the Sky Pillar. Follow the path within, and you will reach the pillar in time."''
:''"However… To go beyond this point… There is one more trial you must overcome. This is my duty as one of the ancient Sootopolitans, a duty passed down to me by my former master. You must battle me. Here and now. Prove to me that your power is great enough to face what lies ahead! Now tell me… Are you prepared?"''
::'''No''': ''"I see. I will wait. Prepare yourself."''
::'''Yes''': ''"Then let us begin… Champion of Hoenn. You, who should exhibit the most graceful art in battle with your Pokémon… I would have you show me your true strength!"''

* Being defeated
:''"To defeat me, a descendant of the ancient Sootopolis people, and even when I was holding nothing back…"''

* After being defeated
:''"As I have come to expect from you, <player>… You are an excellent Pokémon Trainer. The Pokémon that you sent out in that battle… At times dancing as lightly as an elusive spring breeze… Yet striking with the sudden surety of lightning from the blue. Watching you command the battle with such ease and grace… Even I might succumb to your charm. Now go forth. Find the truth that you seek. As one of the ancient people of Sootopolis, I cannot intrude upon this holy place. I will return to Sootopolis for now and try to lay plans in case the worst should come to pass despite all our efforts. I'm sorry that we always seem to be leaving the fate of all the world in your hands. Yet there it lies once again. Good luck to you, young Champion!"''

No matter whether you stand in a Pokémon Gym or a Contest Hall, a Trainer who holds to {{tt|his|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|her|If the player is a girl}} belief in the Pokémon beside {{tt|him|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|her|If the player is a girl}}… The Pokémon that battles on, believing in the Trainer with whom it stands together… The settings may differ, but their labors come to fruition in a way that honors their bond! There is equal beauty in both!"''
:''"Yes… And confoundingly elegant!"''
:''"…Glorious!"''
:''"You two have shown yourselves to be fine Trainers, with bright futures ahead of you."''

* If talked to again
:''"What is it?"''
::'''Tell me about Lisia.''': ''"Lisia is the daughter of my elder sister and does not live in Sootopolis any longer. She was tucked safely away during that infamous incident, so she would probably be quite shocked to learn your part in it."''
::'''So you did contests?''': ''"Yes, I once tried my hand at contests. But Lisia has a natural talent for them that greatly surpasses mine. She became an idol almost overnight. As a result, I was able to apply myself fully to my role as Gym Leader. After this, I almost feel as though I should give Contests another try. Or perhaps I should steal the title of Pokémon League Champion from you. That could be quite amusing…"''

* After exhausting both options
:''"I imagine Steven must be gnashing his teeth over missing today's Contest Spectacular."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Wallace anime.png|thumb|220px|Wallace in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Wallace Contest Outfit.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace's stage clothing]]
Wallace debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''. He was first seen on the ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' [[television]] program when {{si|Rhonda}} advertised the [[Wallace Cup]] taking place on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were looking for Wallace and found him relaxing near a lake with his {{p|Milotic}}. Even though Wallace had his day off from his busy schedule, he allowed the group to stay. Wallace had {{an|Dawn}} show off her Contest moves to him. She did so by having a practice [[Contest Battle]] with Ash. He praised the two for their match while {{an|Brock}} explained that {{AP|Buizel}} used to belong to Dawn and he was [[trade]]d to Ash in exchange for {{AP|Aipom}}. After watching Ash and Dawn's practice match against each other, he asked Ash to enter the Wallace Cup with his Buizel.

{{TRT}} show up in their disguises. Despite having more company, he did a practice [[appeal]] with his Milotic for them to prove what relaxing and playing with Pokémon can do during his time off. When Milotic finished with {{m|Twister}}, Wallace left in a wave formed by the appeal. Wallace was then seen on TV being interviewed by [[Marian]].

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', during the beginning of the Wallace Cup, Wallace made a speech on stage and held out the audience and participants the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. He concluded the speech by having Milotic perform as part of his appearance. He then acted as a [[Contest Judge]] for the Performance Stage.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Wallace welcomed back the participants as the Wallace Cup was resumed. He judged the battles of the Battle Stage, including the one with Ash and {{si|Kyle}}.

Wallace continued acting as judge for the Battle Stage in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. When {{an|May}} and Dawn were in the finals and were about to begin their battle, Wallace gave some encouraging words to the two. After Dawn was able to defeat May and win the Contest, Wallace awarded Dawn the Aqua Ribbon. Wallace then closed the Wallace Cup by having Milotic use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the air.

It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the outfit he wore in the Top Coordinator Carnival was designed by the renowned [[Pokémon Stylist]] [[Lila]]. The outfit is currently on display at Lila's fashion store in [[Celestic Town]], next to a signed photo of Wallace.

He made a brief cameo in [[SS024]] when Dawn told [[Johanna]] that she was planning to travel to [[Hoenn]], since it is Wallace's home region, as well as the place where Pokémon Contests originated.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Wallace made another cameo in a fantasy, when Dawn revealed that she would soon leave [[Unova]] and head to [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup once again. When Dawn was taking the plane to [[Blackthorn City]], [[Cynthia]] told her to send Wallace her regards.

In ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{Steven}} was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, indicating that Wallace no longer holds the title.

===Character===
[[File:Wallace press conference.png|thumb|220px|Wallace holding a press conference]]
Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, Wallace was said to be the former [[Sootopolis City]] [[Gym Leader]] who eventually moved up to the position of [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Hoenn League]]. He is also an accomplished [[Pokémon Coordinator]], having won the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] after winning the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] with his {{p|Milotic}}. For his achievements in the [[Pokémon Contest]] world, he was labeled as a Contest Master and has been described as the pride and joy of every Coordinator.

Wallace regularly travels to promote the competition bearing his name, the {{cat|Multiregional competitions|multiregional}} [[Wallace Cup]], and thus has a tight schedule. He often makes appearances in talk shows and other {{cat|Pokémon world media|media outlets}}, such as [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]] and [[Radio in the Pokémon world|radio]]. Nonetheless, he will reserve time to spend with his Pokémon, as he greatly values the [[Friendship|bond]] between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Due to his accomplishments, Wallace attained celebrity status and amassed a strong fan following. His fans will wait for him outside hotels and wear caps similar to the one he wears. Despite this, Wallace is shown to be a humble and modest person who likes his privacy. However, he will still treat others kindly if they happen to encounter him when he is not working.

|desc={{p|Milotic}} is Wallace's only known Pokémon in the anime. It first appeared with its Trainer at "Sinnoh Now", when Dawn was watching TV. Previously, Milotic had helped Wallace become a Contest Master with the help of its beauty and skill. It first debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' when Wallace had a secret training session with it out on a lake. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came across them and were impressed with its beauty and graceful moves. Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back. Later, Wallace did a practice appeal with his Pokémon for the gang and the Team Rocket trio.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It is clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the Ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

Its latest appearance was in a fantasy in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''.

Milotic's known moves are {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}.}}

[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Wallace in Pokémon Adventures]]

====History====

=====Past=====
He and Winona 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 constantly around her to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

====={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Wallace first showed up when [[Flannery]] called all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to having business elsewhere, Wallace was forced to attend via video rather than be there in person. When the other Gym Leaders began taking sides on whether one team is evil and the other on the side of good, Wallace sided with Team Aqua due to him being a Water-type Trainer. After the discussion ended, Wallace talked to [[Winona]] about the death of [[Mt. Chimney]] causing the sea levels to rise. Wallace revealed that he was heading to [[Fallarbor Town]] to discuss the changes in climate with [[Professor Cozmo]]. In addition to his quest, Wallace also participated in a Pokémon Contest. He managed to win easily, which gained the attention of {{adv|Ruby}}, who challenged Wallace to show off his skills. Ruby was defeated, but he was so impressed by Wallace that he demanded that Wallace become his master and train him in the art of Pokémon Contests. Wallace initially refused, but changed his mind after seeing how strong Ruby was and finding out that he was the son of a Gym Leader. Once Wallace had finished his mission in Fallarbor Town, he went to Fortree City to meet with the other Gym Leaders and took Ruby there with him.

After some discussions occurred, Wallace saw Ruby suddenly running away. He follows after, only to find [[Slateport City]] flooded. Wallace helps the rescue the populace and eventually finds Ruby participating in a Pokémon Contest. Wallace enters the Contest as a mystery competitor and has it rigged so that Ruby would lose. Ruby is angered by this and takes his frustrations out on his {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Wallace reveals himself and berates Ruby for his horrible behavior. When Ruby realizes his mistake, he finds that Feefee had run away and that it was too late for him to apologize. Wallace continues to tell Ruby how horrible his behavior was, but the stress causes Ruby to pass out crying as he apologizes to his runaway Pokémon.
[[File:Wallace appeal Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace in an appeal with his Pokémon]]
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wallace decides to help battle against one of the Legendary Pokémon, but Winona informs him that the people behind the attacks are controlling Kyogre and Groudon at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. After deciding to join in the fight, Ruby reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. After Ruby and Sapphire leave, Wallace heads off to help [[Brawly]] and [[Roxanne]] combat Groudon. Soon after arriving, all three are interrupted by the Three Fires of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}. The three grab Wallace, Brawly, and Roxanne and takes each of them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Wallace is taken by Tabitha to the top of the [[Lilycove Department Store]].

Wallace manages to nearly defeat Tabitha, but an earlier exposure to the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to temporarily go crazy. Tabitha starts attacking Wallace in an unpredictable frenzy, forcing Wallace to try and escape. At the last second, {{Steven}} arrives to save Wallace and take his place in fighting Tabitha. Steven reveals that he has a plan to stop Groudon and Kyogre and has gathered all of the Hoenn Elite Four to enact it. Steven gives up his title as Champion and hands Wallace the Champion's Cloak.

With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Wallace and Winona both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When he arrives, Wallace finds Ruby beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Wallace snaps Ruby out of it by reminding him that he is fighting for the people he loves. Ruby thanks Wallace for helping bring back his confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Sapphire. Together, Ruby and Sapphire force the Red and Blue Orbs out of [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]'s bodies, but the explosion caused by the attack sends them to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, where they are trained by [[Juan]]. In the meantime, Wallace, Steven, and the Elite Four use the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to contain the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre clashing with each other. After Ruby and Sapphire return, Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their long slumber. However, the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon put too much strain on Steven, and he eventually dies from exhaustion. Despite the loss of Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie come out of hiding to kill Ruby and retrieving the Red and Blue Orbs to reenact their plans. Wallace and Sapphire head inside the battleground to stop the villains.

[[File:Tate Liza Juan Wallace ORAS Adventures.png|thumb|right|170px|Wallace in the thirteenth chapter]]
Once they arrive, Wallace realizes that Steven gave him the Champion's Cloak because he knew he would die after his plan succeeded. Wallace puts on the cloak and proceeds to attack Archie and Maxie. He manages to easily defeat them, but they reveal they had captured Winona and hold her hostage. Having no choice, Wallace is forced to lay down his Poké Balls and allow the villains to defeat him. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Wallace celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle. With the help of Ruby's {{p|Celebi}}, those who died in the battle were revived.

====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
Wallace appears at the wedding between [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} alongside Winona, Ruby, and Sapphire. He and Winona stay behind to attend the reception while Ruby and Sapphire go to their mission at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Wallace, along with the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the planet.

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only [[Gym Leader]] to have only appeared in the anime outside of his home region.
** Prior to Emerald's creation, artwork existed promoting Wallace as the Sootopolis Gym Leader. He was later replaced by Juan before the Sootopolis episodes.
* Wallace is also the only Gym Leader to hand out a [[HM|Hidden Machine]] as a prize for defeating him.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by Juan against {{Ash}} in the anime.
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during, and after the player's battle with him in Pokémon Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]] canon, Wallace and [[Iris]] are very similar: they were both trained by Gym Leaders, and both were the eighth [[Gym Leader]] in their respective regions, and afterwards, became the Champion, while their mentors took their places in their Gyms.
** However, this is not true in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] canon, where, despite having been trained by a Gym Leader, Iris was never one herself before becoming the Champion.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when he is battled in the Delta Episode, he uses his Champion team from Emerald, with almost the exact same levels.
**Additionally, after completing the Delta Episode, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, referencing their roles in Emerald.
* Wallace is the only {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the {{pkmn|games}} who does not [[nickname|name]] his Pokémon.

'''Kagetomo''' (Japanese: '''カゲトモ''' ''Kagetomo'') is a recurring character who first appeared in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Kagetomo mask.png|thumb|left|220px|Kagetomo with his Haxorus mask on]]
Kagetomo appeared in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'' and ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]''. He was a former member of [[Ninja Village]], having been an extremely competent ninja who was marked the most eligible to be crowned chief after {{kal|Hanzo}}. However, due to his excessive thirst of power and self-assertion, he disagreed with Hanzo's ideas of using one's ninja power for the welfare of people and Pokémon. He was estranged from Hanzo and trained rigorously in exile. He returned, after some years, and abducted Hanzo, in order to use him as a hostage so that he could force the residents of the Ninja village to obey him as the new chief, instead of [[Ippei]].

He was first seen coordinating the attack in the village alongside his partners [[Heidayu]] and the rest of Ninja Army.

Later, when the attack began, he personally attacked and captured the village elder in front of [[Sanpei]], [[Shinobu]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

He battled Ippei's {{p|Greninja}}, using a {{p|Weavile}} with excellent potential and showed a remarkable command over ninja tactics. However, in the end, Greninja emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle.

Realizing his mistake after receiving some pearls of wisdom from Hanzo, he decided to leave the Ninja Village in order to train harder, and focused his attention on exploring the true meaning of a ninja's life. Heidayu followed him, while Ippei waited for his return.

[[File:LGPE Elite Four.png|thumb|300px|Artwork of {{ga|Chase}} and {{ga|Elaine}} confronting the Kanto Elite Four in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''Elite Four''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|四天王|してんのう}}''' ''The Big Four'', lit. ''{{wp|Four Heavenly Kings}}'') are four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who are regarded as the toughest in their [[region]]al [[Pokémon League]], just short of the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight [[Badge]]s from that region (or, for Trainers in [[Alola]], must have completed all of their [[island challenge]] trials). To become Champion, Trainers must face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them.

One group resides at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Kanto]] and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and [[Johto]]. Another group is located in [[Ever Grande City]] in [[Hoenn]], while another is located on [[Mount Lanakila]] in [[Alola]]. Three more groups reside at the Pokémon Leagues in {{si|Pokémon League|Sinnoh}}, {{un|Pokémon League|Unova}}, and {{kal|Pokémon League|Kalos}}.

In the games, they use strong {{cat|medicine}} items in battles. In [[Generation II]], they use [[Max Potion]]s, and from [[Generation III]] onwards, they use [[Full Restore]]s.

==In the games==
===Indigo Elite Four===
At the [[Indigo Plateau]] — the site of the Pokémon League in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] — the Elite Four must be battled in a fixed order.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|250px|The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} infrequently meet the members of the Elite Four, who then impart them with battle strategies.

In [[Kanto]], Ash has met the entire Elite Four roster:
* [[Bruno]] appeared in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected]]''.
* [[Lorelei]] appeared in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', but she is named "Prima" in the English [[dub]].
* [[Lance]] debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was mentioned to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} rather than a regular member of the Elite Four.
* [[Agatha]] appeared in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', where she was acting as a temporary [[Gym Leader]] for the [[Viridian Gym]].

In [[Hoenn]], Ash has met only one Elite Four member:
* [[Drake]] appeared in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', where he invited Ash and his friends to his boat, where he had a battle with Ash.

In [[Sinnoh]], Ash has also met the entire Elite Four roster:
* [[Lucian]] debuted in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', where he had a battle with {{an|Dawn}}, using his {{p|Bronzong}} against her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}.
* {{EF|Aaron}} debuted in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', where he was seen training to challenge [[Cynthia]].
* {{EF|Flint}} debuted in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', where he had a battle with Ash, using his {{TP|Flint|Infernape}} against his {{AP|Buizel}}, {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* [[Bertha]] appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', where she taught Ash and Dawn how observation skills can be useful in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

In [[Unova]], Ash has also met only one Elite Four member:
* [[Caitlin]] debuted in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', where she faced off against [[Cynthia]] during an exhibition match of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]].

In [[Kalos]], Ash has only met Malva, although two other Elite Four members have appeared as well:
* [[Siebold]] appeared in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where he used his {{me|Blastoise}} to battle [[Alain]] and his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X.
* [[Wikstrom]] appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', in which he was seen battling [[Diantha]], using his Mega {{p|Scizor}} against her Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}.
* [[Malva]] debuted in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'' in a video transmission. Ash didn't meet her until ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where he was interviewed by her.

In [[Alola]], Ash has met the entire Elite Four rosters from both the {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} paired versions, though none of them presented themselves as such, because the Alola League has not yet been established in the anime:
* [[Hala]] debuted in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', where he led Ash to [[Verdant Cavern]] so he could start his [[island challenge]].
* [[Olivia]] debuted in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she took Ash and his classmates to [[Akala Island]] and began hosting them during their stay there.
* [[Acerola]] debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', though Ash didn't meet her until the [[SM074|next episode]], where she assisted him in his grand trial battle against [[Nanu]].
* [[Molayne]] debuted in ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', where he showed Ash and his classmates around the [[Hokulani Observatory]].
* [[Kahili]] appeared in ''[[SM110|Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!]]'', where she took Ash and his classmates to a PokéGolf course and taught them the sport.

It has been stated by Lucian in ''An Elite Meet and Greet!'' that when a Trainer wins their respective region's {{pkmn|League Conference}}, they can participate in the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}}, fighting the members of that region's Elite Four, and then the Champion as well. It has also been shown that an Elite Four member can challenge the Champion and obtain the title from him or her in battle.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Elite Four PO.png|thumb|250px|The Kanto Elite Four in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The members of the Kanto Elite Four made brief appearances in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was shown defeating all four members, allowing him to move on to face the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.
{{-}}

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Kanto Elite Four PG.png|thumb|250px|The Kanto Elite Four in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The members of the Kanto Elite Four made brief appearances in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. {{ga|Blue}} was shown defeating all four members, allowing him to become the {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}. Later in the episode, {{ga|Red}} was revealed to have defeated them as well.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Needs other manga}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Kanto Elite Four Adventures.png|110px|thumb|Kanto Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Kanto Elite Four, consisting of [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], [[Lance]] and [[Agatha]], made their debut in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'' watching the final battle between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} before serving as the primary antagonists for the {{chap|Yellow}} of the manga. They are each said to be so powerful that triad leaders of [[Team Rocket]], [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]] all had to (begrudgingly) team up with the protagonists and [[Blaine]] to take just a single one of them.

The Johto Elite Four is formed at the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. It consists of accomplished Pokémon Trainers that were formerly part of criminal organizations, who would eventually rise as the official Elite Four of [[Indigo Plateau]]. [[Will]], Bruno, [[Karen]], and Koga united to train together after they were no longer being controlled. They reappeared in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} participating on the [[Pokéathlon]] and later fighting against [[Lance's Dragonite]].
[[File:Hoenn Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Hoenn Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Hoenn Elite Four, consisting of [[Sidney]], [[Phoebe]], [[Glacia]] and [[Drake]], made an appearance in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, helping to find and catch the [[legendary titans]] in order to contain the massive surge of energy created by the clash of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} alongside {{Steven}} and [[Wallace]], their two regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s. It is also during the Hoenn Elite Four's appearance that the challenge of the Elite Four and Champion was mentioned as having replaced a knockout tournament to determine the best Trainer in the region.

The first Sinnoh Elite Four member to debut in the series was {{EF|Flint}}, who made a cameo appearance in the last round of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. {{EF|Aaron}}, [[Bertha]] and [[Lucian]] appeared in the {{chap|Platinum}}, where they were enlisted by the [[Pokémon Association]] Chairman to decode the ancient writings in [[Charon]]'s memobook.

The Unova Elite Four first appeared in the {{chap|Black & White}} as {{adv|Black}} cites them during his daily pledge. However, they haven't appeared to the main characters as a group yet. Besides [[Caitlin]], who already appeared in the ''Platinum'' chapter, [[Grimsley]] meets Black, [[Shauntal]] meets {{adv|White}}, and [[Marshal]] meets both on different occasions. All four converge for the duration of the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Unova League]] tournament that would have determined the Trainer that would challenge them.

The first Kalos Elite Four member to appear is [[Malva]], who appeared in person in {{chap|X & Y}}. [[Drasna]], [[Wikstrom]], and [[Siebold]] were mentioned by [[Diantha]] during her conversation with [[Gurkinn]] and [[Korrina]]. Siebold later appeared in the [[Lost Hotel]], cooking a meal for {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}'s friends, as a way of apologizing for his lack of participation against [[Team Flare]]. Wikstrom and Drasna later appeared in person, assisting X and Y's group in their quest to stop Team Flare. Drasna gave them information about {{p|Zygarde}} and Wikstrom used his {{p|Probopass}} to guide them to Team Flare's hideout.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
The Kanto Elite Four members appeared in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'', where all of them were defeated by {{Zensho|Satoshi}}, allowing him to face the Champion, {{Zensho|Shigeru}}.
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, the battles against [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and [[Agatha]] use the standard Trainer battle theme, while the Gym Leader battle theme is played only against [[Lance]]. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Gym Leader battle theme plays during the battles against all four members of the Elite Four.
* In the Kanto-based games:
** The Elite Four's specialty types are the types that were the least common types in Generation I.
** Every Elite Four member has at least one Pokémon not of their specialty type during the first battle.
* The Kalos Elite Four members are the only ones that don't have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
** Additionally, they are the only ones who use just four Pokémon in rematches with them. All other Elite Four members use either five or six Pokémon during rematches.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], the Elite Four typically progressed in level with their Pokémon in the games. Starting in Generation V, all members of the Elite Four (except in remakes) use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order.
* The Sinnoh Elite Four and Generation I Elite Four are the only Elite Four of which all members have appeared in the anime.
* [[Pokémon Puzzle League]] features its own Elite Four: [[Ritchie]], [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and {{Gary}}. Gary serves as the leader of the Elite Four and the Puzzle League Champion.
* The Alola Elite Four is the only Elite Four with more female members than male members.
* There have been more {{type|Ghost}} Elite Four members than any other type, with four.
* [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are the only games to date in which the player can change their Pokémon [[party]] between Elite Four matches, due to the presence of the [[Pokémon Box]] in the player's [[Bag]].

{{bulbanews/2|New smartphone game Pokémon Co-Master announced for Japan|Pokémon Duel released internationally for iOS, Android}}
'''Pokémon Duel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコマスター''' ''Pokémon Comaster'') is a spin-off Pokémon board game for {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android}}. It was released in Japan for Android devices on April 12, 2016 and for iOS on April 19, 2016, and was later released in English in North America, Europe (only UK), and Australia on January 24, 2017. The game is {{wp|Freemium|free-to-start}}. In order to give the game the world's strongest AI, The Pokémon Company has partnered with [https://heroz.co.jp/ HEROZ], whose app [http://shogiwars.heroz.jp/ Shogi Wars] is known for being able to challenge and defeat professional players.

Pokémon Duel is a single-player game that features online battles.

==Blurb==
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game that uses Pokémon figures. Build a deck with your favorite figures and then leap into a League Match! Compete with players from around the world for a chance to enter the top League rankings in League Matches. You'll fight your rivals in real time! Win duels, get all kinds of cool figures and items, and make your deck stronger!

The rules are simple! The object is to be the first player to get one of your figures to your opponent's goal. How will you get to the goal? You'll need to carefully choose your route! In duels, you and your opponent take turns moving your figures. Set up a strategic formation and attack your opponent, or simply block their path—it's all about tactics! Plan your strategy and defeat your opponents in this game of cat and mouse!

In duels, your deck is composed of 6 Pokémon figures. There are all kinds of figures, each with different moves and abilities. Keep this in mind as you build your own custom deck!

Make use of your custom deck and the AI! The AI is a reliable ally who will determine good moves and take your turn for you. Make full use of the AI and crush your opponents!

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game based on the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. Players collect and build their own deck from a large range of Figures with different characteristics. For the basic rules of the game, see [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game#Mechanics|Pokémon Trading Figure Game→Mechanics]].

Players are given a Deck Case that holds their Figures (including fusion materials), Plates, and saved deck configurations. Decks and Figures have a maximum on their capacity that can be expanded by spending Gems. The deck limit will increase by one and the Figure limit by 10 for 10 Gems each. There is a {{tt|2,000|1,000 before update 4.0}} limit on Figures.

Players may transfer their game data to another device. Within the Options menu, setting a transfer password will generate a transfer ID; when the password and ID are entered into the Game Data Transfer option of another device, the player's save data and Gems will be moved to the new device. After data is transferred from a device, a new save file under a new account must be made. If data is transferred from iOS to Android or vice versa, Gems will not be transferred.

===Changes from the Trading Figure Game===
* {{TFG|Trainer card}}s are replaced by Plates, which have no chance of failing; Trainer figures are removed because of this.
* Figures of evolved Pokémon may be evolved, increasing the damage of the evolved Pokemon's moves.
* Figures use the Pokémon's types from the Pokémon games rather than the types from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* {{TFG|Pokémon Power}}s have been renamed {{Abilities}}.
* A figure's action wheel can be altered by leveling up the figure. The size of actions can be increased, thus decreasing the size of the Miss section of that figure.
* Version 5.0.6 added Ultra Space, an out-of-play area that acts differently than the normal area where figures removed from play go. Figures in Ultra Space retain any markers and Special Conditions and do not decrease the number of turns left for Wait or Mega Evolution.

===Fusion===
Fusion is the process by which Figures are leveled up. Fusing a Figure with fusion materials or other Figures will increase the fused Figure's experience and/or chain level. Fusion costs Coins, which are obtained from beating opponents or selling Figures, Plates, and fusion materials to the Shop.

There are four types of fusion materials: Rare Metals [[File:Pokemon Duel Rare Metal R.png|25px]], Cubes [[File:Pokemon Duel Cube R.png|25px]], Ingots [[File:Pokemon Duel Ingot R.png|25px]], and Carmonites [[File:Pokemon Duel Carmonite.png|25px]].
* Rare Metals are used to grant large sums of experience points to Figures to level them up, up to Level 5. The higher the rarity of the Rare Metal, the more experience points it will grant:
** Common Rare Metals give 500 EXP
** Uncommon Rare Metals give 1,000 EXP
** Rare Rare Metals give 4,500 EXP
** EX Rare Metals give 10,500 EXP
** UX Rare Metals give 51,000 EXP
* Cubes are used to grant Chain Points, otherwise available only by fusing Figures with the same ID. Cubes can only be used on Figures with the same rarity (for example, EX Figures need EX Cubes).
* Ingots are intended to be sold directly to the Exchange Coins section of the shop. The higher the rarity of the Ingot, the higher value for which it can be sold. If used for fusion, all rarities give only one EXP.
* Carmonites can only be used on Figures that are at least Level 5. Using Carmonite unlocks the Level cap to Level 10. Each additional Level gained in this way allows for a wheel piece to be increased by 1 while another wheel piece (that is greater than 4) is decreased by 1. The greater the rarity of the Figure, the greater the amount of Carmonite needed to level up (10, 20, 50, 100 and 150 needed for Common, Uncommon, Rare, EX and UX Figures, respectively).

===Shop===
A shop run by Luca's sister [[Tia]] sells Boosters, Plates, and Figures.

====Gem Counter====
Gems can be purchased with real money from the Gem Counter run by [[Marabelle]]. Each pack of Gems has a point value that is deducted from a 50000 point pool. Gems cannot be purchased if the player does not have enough points and the pool is reset at the beginning of every month.

===League Match===
Players may challenge other players in the League Match in real time. Unlike other battle formats, there is no Energy cost to battling in the League Match. Winning a match awards points that go toward both the monthly ranking and League promotion (if not at the highest League already), a Time Booster, and 3 Key Fragments that go toward a Locked Booster. Losing a match will provide the player only 1 Key Fragment towards a Locked Booster — this may only happen up to three times per day. Each Locked Booster requires 10 Key Fragments to open, and contains two Figures and one Cube, Rare Metal, or Ingot (prior to Version 3.0.7, it gave contents of a Purple or better Booster). The Figures available are based on the League that the player is at. If the player is promoted to a new League and is awarded a Booster Ticket, the contents of the Booster are based on the League the player was at previously.

Time Boosters come in different colors; each color gives a certain reward.  Although the player needs to wait for a certain period of time to open the Booster, the player may choose to instead spend Gems equivalent to 10 times the amount of time (in hours) to open the Booster immediately.

[a] Orange (and Moss as of Version 3.0.6) Boosters are unique from the other Boosters in that they are available for a short period of time and offer rewards relevant to the Gym Event that is underway.

===Gym Cups===
An alternative to the League match, Gym Cups slightly change the rules of the game to make different figures more powerful than they would be in league play. Typically a gym boosts two different types, one type is given an MP boost, which increases movement of all figures of that type (up to a max of 3 MP), and another type that is "super effective" against the first type is given a damage boost of +20 to all white and gold attacks. Gyms last for a set amount of time during which players have an opportunity to win rewards for each victory. There is also a "win-streak" bonus where players also get additional random rewards for win streaks of 1 to 11 wins in a row. If a player reaches an 11 win streak they get an "invincible trophy".

===Room Match===
Another alternative to the League Match, the Room Match allows for players to challenge nearby opponents by turning on their location services on their mobile device. Players may choose to participate in a public or private match. Private matches require the guest to know the 3-number passcode that the host sets. Previously, Room Matches do not reward any experience. However, starting in Version 4.0.0, depending on the hall selected, battles may award experience and points, even if the player loses.

From version 5.0.6 on, League restrictions are available to the Room creator. Same League Only allows only players within the same League as the creator into the Room, while Same League or Lower also allows players in lower Leagues.

==Plot==
[[File:Carmonte Island.png|thumb|Carmonte Island]]
Aiming to become the Hotel King, the player arrives on [[Carmonte Island]], an artificial island housing a city of resorts. The island hosts the Pokémon Figure Games (PFG) World Tournament, where its top prize is the symbol of Carmonte Island, [[Jewel Tower]]. The tournament is hosted by the tower's current owner, [[Master Rosé]].

Along their way to the island, the player encounters and befriends [[Luca]], the scion of a prestigious family. During the tournament, the player collects figures and plates, partners with an AI named [[Carlo]], and challenges various NPCs to a duel in order to reach the boss in the highest level. In the defeat of each boss, the player will receive an emblem as a testimony to their victory.

After befriending a popular idol named [[Sharon]], the player is stalked by members of the Roger family, an influential organization on Carmonte Island.

GyaradosBreak: /* Burning Shadows Theme Decks */

{{MerchPrevNext | prev=XY BREAK | next=None }}

With the start of every TCG Series, promotional merchandise for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is released. Beginning in November 2016, the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the start of [[Generation VII]], and the start of the Sun & Moon TCG Series allowed for a large number of promotional material and items to be made available to fans to purchase, collect, earn, and trade. The following is a chronological list of all TCG related merchandise made available during this Series of the card game.

==Alola Collection==
The first product of the Sun & Moon TCG Series is the '''Alola Collection'''. Released exclusively early to {{wp|Target}} stores November 13, 2016, it was made available elsewhere in North America on November 18, 2016, and November 23, 2016 in Europe, the same day as the [[Pokémon Sun & Moon]] video games in each region. The Alola Collection comes in 2 varieties, each featuring one of the two [[game mascot]] [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}. Also featured are the three [[Alola]] [[starter Pokémon]] {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, and {{p|Popplio}}.

The two regional pairs of promotional boxes differ in contents. All four iterations of this product contain a {{TCG|Jumbo cards|Jumbo card}} of either one of the two {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} representing {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Solgaleo-GX|89}} and {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Lunala-GX|66}}, as well as one additional {{TCG|SM Black Star Promos|SM Black Star Promotional card}} for each of the three starter Pokémon and a code card for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]].

'''Ash's Talonflame''' (Japanese: '''サトシのファイアロー''' ''Satoshi's Fiarrow'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-third overall.

==History==
[[File:Ash Fletchling.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Fletchling]]
As a Fletchling, it made its first appearance stealing a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was trying to feed to a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Having made Bonnie cry, [[Ash's Froakie]] attempted to battle Fletchling, only to be repeatedly knocked out of the air. After Fletchling left, {{an|Clemont}} tried to attract it with one of his [[List of Clemont's inventions|Clemontic Gears]], only for Fletchling to set them up into being attacked by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}. The chase led Ash and {{ashfr}} to a canyon, where Froakie challenged Fletchling to another battle. Using the terrain to its advantage, Froakie managed to defeat Fletchling and this resulted in its catch by Ash. Fletchling was soon sent out again to be introduced to everyone else where it shared an Oran Berry with Froakie and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Fletchling was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[Santalune Gym]] battle against [[Viola]], it went up against her {{p|Surskit}}. It was unaffected by the slippery field caused by {{m|Ice Beam}} as well as having a type-advantage. Fletchling used {{m|Peck}} which was dodged and avoided an Ice Beam attack, Surskit used {{m|Sticky Web}}, which Fletchling dodged by using {{m|Double Team}}. It used {{m|Razor Wind}} hitting Surskit knocking it out. It then went up against her {{p|Vivillon}}, its Peck was countered with {{m|Psychic}} and it was smashed on the ground, it was then hit with {{m|Gust}} and was pushed into the Sticky Web Surskit set before, it was unable to escape and hit with {{m|Solar Beam}}, knocking it out causing Ash to lose the Gym Battle. After it was healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], it trained with Pikachu for their rematch by using [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Noivern}} using Gust to help them withstand Vivillon's Gust.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', while continuing its training along with Pikachu, it was able to withstand Noivern's Gust well, later using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's Sticky Web, after it broke, they used Froakie and its frubbles instead to practice. Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon in his Gym battle rematch against Viola, it went up against her Vivillon. Its {{m|Steel Wing}} was countered with Psychic, dealing damage to Fletchling. It hit with a second Steel Wing but its Peck was dodged. Vivillon used Gust, but using its training it was able to withstand it and use a spinning Razor Wind, but Vivillon used its final move, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, to put Fletchling to {{status|sleep}} and it was defeated by Solar Beam.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon during his battle against [[Grant]] at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Fletchling went up against {{p|Tyrunt}}. It used Razor Wind but Tyrunt used its powerful mouth and fangs with {{m|Crunch}} to bite and block the move. Ash changed strategy and trying to confuse Tyrunt, he had Fletchling used Double Team, it used Steel Wing and aimed for its chest, but Tyrunt jumped and dodged the attacks and then used {{m|Dragon Tail}} to destroy the copies but the real Fletchling hit Tyrunt with a [[super effective]] Steel Wing, but the Royal Heir Pokémon hit back with Dragon Tail again, knocking Fletchling out.
[[File:Ash Fletchinder.png|thumb|250px|As a Fletchinder]]
In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Ash and his friends met a Trainer named [[Moria]], a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, and her {{p|Talonflame}}. She offered to have a [[Sky Battle]] with Ash and took them to a place where they could test out the Sky Battle gear. Ash sent out Fletchling and {{AP|Hawlucha}} to join them while they practiced. When Fletchling met Talonflame, it wished to battle it, but Talonflame was not impressed and Moria chose to battle Hawlucha instead, which upset Fletchling. Fletchling stayed with Bonnie while Ash and Hawlucha battled Talonflame, studying how Talonflame moved and attacked. After Hawlucha was defeated it helped rescue Talonflame from Team Rocket, earning Talonflame's respect. Afterwards Talonflame decided it wanted to battle against Fletchling after all. Fletchling was able to dodge many of Talonflame's attacks due to its small size and using what it learned from watching Hawlucha's battle. Fletchling was eventually hit by a powerful {{m|Fire Blast}} and evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}} in the process. It successfully defeated Talonflame with its newly learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, using the speed increase from the new move three times to easily follow it and attack.

As a Fletchinder, it was used during Ash's battle against [[Korrina]] at the [[Shalour Gym]] in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''. It was his second Pokémon and went up against Korrina's {{p|Machoke}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Machoke used its incredible running and jumping ability to dodge and hit Fletchinder with {{m|Brick Break}}. Fletchinder was then hit by a speedy {{m|Low Kick}}. Fletchinder went for Steel Wing but it was caught by Machoke who threw it. Fletchinder recovered and used Razor Wind. Machoke then went for {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Fletchinder used Flame Charge and hit Machoke after it dodged Focus Blast, knocking it out. Korrina then sent out her final Pokémon, her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, she immediately [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] it into {{me|Lucario}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Mega Lucario used {{m|Metal Sound}}, blocking Flame Charge and lowering Fletchinder's Special Defense. Fletchinder broke through and hit Mega Lucario with Flame Charge, which was super-effective. Mega Lucario then used {{m|Aura Sphere}} but Fletchinder countered with Steel Wing, blocking the attack. Mega Lucario then quickly came from behind and used {{m|Power-Up Punch}}, knocking Fletchinder out.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Fletchinder was called out to battle [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} at the [[Coumarine Gym]]. It used Flame Charge but Jumpluff was able to protect itself by using {{m|Cotton Guard}}. Jumpluff then used {{m|Sunny Day}}, creating [[harsh sunlight]]. Fletchinder then used Steel Wing, but Jumpluff managed to dodge thanks to its {{a|Chlorophyll}} [[Ability]]. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but its attack was once again dodged. However, the effect of Flame Charge increased its {{stat|Speed}}, allowing it to hit with a second one. Although Jumpluff used Cotton Guard, it was not enough and Fletchinder defeated the Cottonweed Pokémon. It then went up against Ramos's {{p|Weepinbell}}, Fletchinder used Flame Charge but it was dodged, as Weepinbell activated its Chlorophyll Ability using the harsh sunlight from Jumpluff. It used Flame Charge again but Weepinbell used its {{m|Poison Powder}} to escape, {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Fletchinder in the process. While it was down, it was hit by Weepinbell's {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Fletchinder got up and used Flame Charge, but the Flycatcher Pokémon dodged and used the vines above the battlefield to climb on top of Fletchinder and launch {{m|Slam}}, rendering Fletchinder [[Fainting|unable to battle]].
[[File:Ash Fletchinder Flame Body.png|thumb|left|250px|Flame Body activated, as a Fletchinder]]
In ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', Fletchinder was the first Pokémon sent out by Ash during his battle against [[Valerie]] at the [[Laverre Gym]]. It went up against her {{p|Sylveon}}. Fletchinder landed a successful super-effective Steel Wing on Sylveon, but it was hit with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Fletchinder attempted to use {{m|Peck}}, but it got caught in Sylveon's feelers and was spun around, While being hit with {{m|Fairy Wind}}. Sylveon attempted to crash Flecthinder into the ground, but it was able to break free with Flame Charge and hit Sylveon. Sylveon used {{m|Giga Impact}} while Fletchinder used Steel Wing, both attacks hit, but only Fletchinder was able to remain up, defeating the Intertwining Pokémon. Valerie then used {{p|Spritzee}}, Fletchinder went for a Steel Wing but the Perfume Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Trick Room}}, meaning that the slowest Pokémon attacks first. Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge but Clemont realized it was a bad idea, since Trick Room meant that faster Pokémon normally, would be slower inside the Trick Room. With this Spritzee easily dodged the attacks. Despite this Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge and Spritzee hit Fletchinder with {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge again, which was dodged and was hit by {{m|Gyro Ball}}. After having another Flame Charge dodged, Trick Room ended and Fletchinder hit Spritzee with a speedy Steel Wing, which caused the other to realize Ash's strategy was to wait until Trick Room ended and then use speed. However Fletchinder was hit by {{m|Moonblast}} and knocked out.

In ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'', it was training until Hawlucha found an Egg and brought it back to Ash. While it was hatching, Fletchinder used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to keep it warm until it hatched into a {{AP|Noibat}}. Later after Noibat was frustrated by its inability to fly, it and Hawlucha offered to help to teach it to fly, Fletchinder flew while Noibat tried to trail it by flying but failed and almost crashed into the ground until it was caught by Ash. After failing with Hawlucha, they went to the hills to make practicing easier, however Hawlucha and Noibat were captured by Team Rocket. Fletchinder tried to rescue them with Steel Wing, but {{TP|James|Inkay}} used its Ink Spray, blinding Fletchinder and stopping its attack. It was caught by Ash and then followed Team Rocket to a cave where it lead Ash and the other to them, where Pikachu and {{AP|Frogadier}} defeated Team Rocket. After Ash caught Noibat, it continued training with Noibat and Hawlucha, to help teach Noibat to fly.

In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', it continued to train Noibat how to fly along with Hawlucha. Afterwards they noticed a {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. They went to the source of this, the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]], where they discovered that the birds came from the Sky Relay Champion, [[Orson]]. Later Ash used Fletchinder, Hawlucha and Noibat in the relay. Fletchinder was used in the first part of the race. It had a good lead initially and did well when it got into the forest, but when a {{p|Hydreigon}} crashed into a tree, apples fell down, forcing Fletchinder to dodge them, causing it to lose its first position. It ended up being third at the end of the first segment when it passed the baton onto Hawlucha, behind Staravia and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, which was hiding inside an Altaria. They eventually ended up second after Noibat barely lost to Starly, but it and the others were pleased with Noibat, who had successfully learned to fly.
[[File:Ash Talonflame vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|Battling Moltres as a newly evolved Talonflame]]
In ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it was used in a battle against {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charmeleon}}. It used its speedy movements to dodge a {{m|Fire Spin}} and block {{m|Flamethrower}} with a spinning Steel Wing. After knocking Charmeleon back with Flame Charge, Fletchinder barely managed to avoid a Dragon Claw. Charmeleon then used Flamethrower again, but this was dodged again and Fletchinder struck the Flame Pokémon with a Steel Wing, knocking it out. Shortly after, Ash called upon Fletchinder to battle Team Rocket and later, a wild {{p|Moltres}}. However, it was soon overwhelmed by the power of the Legendary Pokémon. When Ash tried to tell Fletchinder to wait for him, Moltres noticed the group and attacked them instead. Fletchinder, determined to save the group, sped ahead of Moltres's Flamethrower and, during the fast-paced flight, suddenly evolved into {{p|Talonflame}} and successfully blocked the attack, also learning {{m|Brave Bird}} as a result. Though it evolved and learned a new move, Moltres was just too strong and knocked Talonflame out with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. Falling towards the lava, Talonflame looked doomed, but Ash plunged to help it, risking his own life in the process. They avoided being incinerated when {{AP|Frogadier}} saved them with its Frubbles. Once Ash and Talonflame were safely pulled up, Ash's friends scolded him for almost getting himself killed, but Moltres was impressed by Ash's courage and flew away into the sky.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', Talonflame was used along with Frogadier in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the [[Anistar Gym]]. After Olympia's Meowstic used a {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}}, Talonflame and Frogadier headed in for the attack. Both Meowstic simply dodged the attacks and began levitating. Ash then had Talonflame attack the male Meowstic with Flame Charge and scored a successful hit, after Meowstic set up his {{m|Light Screen}}, which protected his partner against Frogadier's Water Pulse. Talonflame was then hit by Olympia's female Meowstic, but was caught by Frogadier before hitting the ground. Both Meowstic then fired off their {{m|Psyshock}}, which kept following their targets due to the female Meowstic's ability {{a|Keen Eye}}, and were able to hit their opponents. As Talonflame and Frogadier stood up and were about to counterattack, wormholes appeared and Future Sight struck Talonflame, knocking it into Frogadier. Ash then came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. Ash then had Talonflame use Brave Bird and Frogadier use Double Team to cover Talonflame. After the female Meowstic wiped the clones out with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, its Dark Pulse was cancelled out by Frogadier's {{m|Cut}}, giving Talonflame the chance to hit her hard with Brave Bird. She, however, immediately recovered and launched a {{m|Thunder Wave}} at Talonflame, but Frogadier jumped in and took the attack, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} it. Meowstic then used Future Sight once again and fired off a double Psyshock. Knowing dodging wouldn't work, Ash had Talonflame charge in, slicing through their attacks with Steel Wing. As the Psyshock headed back towards Talonflame, they were stopped by Frogadier's Water Pulse and Talonflame struck the male Meowstic with a spinning Steel Wing. It later caught Frogadier, who just got hit, but was then struck by Future Sight again. After Future Sight was used again, Talonflame carried Frogadier and charged towards the Meowstic. The {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon attacked with Psyshock and Dark Pulse, which kept following their marks again. Talonflame, however, led the attack towards the Meowstic and flew off at the last moment, causing them to get hit by their own attacks. Talonflame and Frogadier then grabbed onto the Meowstic. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. Talonflame then saved the paralyzed Frogadier from Psyshock and used Flame Charge to shield itself and Frogadier from Meowstic's attacks. Talonflame then knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, while Frogadier defeated the male with Water Pulse. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', Ash sent out Talonflame to try to distract a wild {{p|Zapdos}} that was attacking him, so he could reach [[Joule Town]] and deliver medicine to the town's hospital. Talonflame once more managed to hold its own against a Legendary bird, using its great speed to dodge Zapdos's attacks. Zapdos, however, eventually struck it down with {{m|Charge Beam}}, followed up by a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, forcing Ash to recall it.

In ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', Ash chose to use Talonflame as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], facing his {{p|Avalugg}}. Talonflame made a strong opening with Flame Charge, also increasing his speed. Wulfric, however, used Talonflame's great Speed to his advantage, and had Avalugg use {{m|Avalanche}}, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent. Additionally, any attacks made by Talonflame were quickly healed because of Avalugg's {{a|Ice Body}}, due to the {{weather|Hail|hailstorm}} set up previously. Talonflame narrowly dodged the incoming {{m|Stone Edge}}, and hit Avalugg with another Flame Charge, but this proved to be a repeated mistake as Avalugg simply knocked it out with another Avalanche.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Talonflame was used in Ash's rematch with Wulfric, where it faced his Avalugg again. Just like last time, it managed to land a hit with Flame Charge. Avalugg then retaliated with Stone Edge and while Talonflame managed to dodge most of the stone pillars emerging from the ground, it got struck by the last one. Talonflame, however, shook it off and cut into Avalugg's back with Steel Wing. Talonflame was then hit by a powered-up Avalanche, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to melt the falling chunks of ice and hit Avalugg hard, finally defeating the Iceberg Pokémon. It then faced Wulfric's last Pokémon, his {{p|Abomasnow}}, who set up a hailstorm upon entry using his {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability. While continuously being damaged by the Hail, Talonflame flew towards Abomasnow using Steel Wing, but Abomasnow countered with {{m|Wood Hammer}}, overpowering it. Talonflame then went for Flame Charge, but its attack was stopped once again as it got struck by {{m|Ice Shard}} and immediately after slammed to the ground with another Wood Hammer, knocking it out.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', Talonflame was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in Ash's [[Full Battle]] against [[Sawyer]] as his second Pokémon, where it faced Sawyer's {{p|Slaking}}. Just like in Slaking's battle against Hawlucha, Slaking was able to take a hit from Talonflame's Steel Wing and restore its health with {{m|Slack Off}}. Talonflame then used Flame Charge which {{p|Slaking}} countered with {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Weakened by all the damage it had taken, Slaking fell to its knee, allowing Talonflame to overpower it. Talonflame then proceeded to finally defeat its opponent with a strong Brave Bird. Talonflame then faced Sawyer's {{p|Clawitzer}}, who was able to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} for greater aerial mobility, forcing Talonflame to take evasive actions. Clawitzer was then able to partially freeze Talonflame's wing with Ice Beam, but the Scorching Pokémon used Flame Charge to melt the ice and head towards Clawitzer. A collision between Flame Charge and Aqua Jet, however, knocked Talonflame out while Clawitzer remained standing.

Talonflame was used in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]] as Ash's fourth Pokémon, in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''. It went up against {{p|Unfezant}}. The two Flying-Types immediately engaged in a high-speed aerial duel as both attacked each other with Steel Wing, after which they clashed. Talonflame sped itself up with Flame Charge, but Unfezant countered with {{m|Sky Attack}}. Talonflame was then struck by an {{m|Air Slash}}, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to increase its Speed to catch up to Unfezant and strike him back. The two bird Pokémon then collided with Brave Bird and Sky Attack, knocking both out simultaneously.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Talonflame, along with Ash and Ash's other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]]. It could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Talonflame and the other Pokémon free with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and a {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} together. Talonflame continued battling Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', but while charging towards it using Flame Charge, it was knocked into the air by Stone Edge along with Ash's Greninja. They were then caught by Charizard, but Gyarados slammed them down with Dragon Tail, knocking Talonflame out. In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Talonflame and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from [[Professor Sycamore]] for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

Ash left Talonflame at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Alola]].

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Talonflame.png|thumb|left|250px|Talonflame and Ash]]
Prior to being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Fletchling would steal {{pkmn|food}} from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as shown when it took a [[Berry]] from {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. It was also shown to be mischievous as it led the group to a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm. Fletchling also showed a sense of humor by laughing at them after being attacked. After Ash caught Fletchling, it warmed up to the group and became friendly towards them. Compared to the more subdued {{AP|Greninja}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}}, Fletchling tends to be more animated and emotional, puffing its chest out when confident and showing visible shock and tears when upset. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Fletchling became dejected after [[Moria]]'s {{p|Talonflame}} dismissed it as weak. It was also shown in the same episode to be intelligent and resourceful; while Talonflame battled Hawlucha, it studied how Talonflame battled, and used what it learned to evade and defeat the evolved Pokémon later.

Talonflame is usually used as a scout, in a manner similar to that of [[Ash's Staraptor]] and {{AP|Noctowl}}. However, despite not usually being used in battles against other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Talonflame is frequently used in [[Gym]] battles, fighting in all except for Ash's fifth badge. This shows the confidence Ash places in Talonflame's speed and strength. It is safe to assume therefore, that Talonflame is an accomplished battler. Talonflame hasn't shown the same enthusiasm as Hawlucha or Greninja, but when in battle, it becomes focused and determined to defeat its opponent, no matter what the opponent may be, even if at a type disadvantage. Talonflame has also adopted Ash's never give up mentality, as it has taken many hard hitting blows in the past, and always gotten back up. This shows that Talonflame is quite the resilient Pokémon. It also seems to want to prove itself against other Flying types, as it wished to fight Moria's Talonflame to the point of crying in frustration when rejected by it. Both of its evolutions occurring in battles against other Flying-types is further indication of this. In addition, Talonflame is willing to put itself in harm's way to protect its friends. As a Fletchinder in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it intercepted {{p|Moltres}}'s powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to protect Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Greninja as a Frogadier, Trevor, and Trevor's Charmeleon. After evolving, it fought to the point of exhaustion to calm the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', during a [[Double Battle]] with [[Olympia]], Talonflame voluntarily stepped up to cover Greninja as a Frogadier and provide an offensive push for Ash after Greninja was {{status|paralyzed}} by Olympia's {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}}.

Talonflame is also humble in defeat. After losing to Greninja as a Froakie when it was a Fletchling, which resulted in its subsequent catch, Talonflame did not sulk or feel sorry for itself. Rather, it shared an [[Oran Berry]] snack with Pikachu and Froakie, symbolizing their new found friendship. Talonflame is loyal to its friends as well, which is show by its constant willingness to search for its friends whenever they get separated from {{ashfr|the group}}. Talonflame seems to have a good relationship with {{an|Bonnie}}, as it took inspiration from her words, which helped it to evolve when a Fletchling. This also shows that Talonflame is not too proud as to refuse advice when given it, and will persist to improve itself. It has also been hinted that Talonflame has become more moralistic, as it showed remorse after being scolded by Bonnie for stealing food from [[wild Pokémon]]. It also enjoys having its wings cleaned by Bonnie, as stated by Ash.

As shown in ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' Talonflame also has good parental instincts. Upon discovering a [[Pokémon Egg]], Talonflame, as a Fletchinder, used its Flame Body Ability to keep the Egg warm. Once the Egg hatched, and was revealed to be a Noibat, Fletchinder, along with Hawlucha, became Noibat's mentors and began to teach it how to fly. It continued to help Noibat with its flying abilities in ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]''.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of the [[Pokémon anime]], and the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that {{Ash}} obtained on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], given to him by {{an|Professor Oak}}.

==History==
{{cleanup|section}}
===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, {{an|Professor Oak}} gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well, and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of an {{an|Ho-Oh|unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to [[Viridian City]] in order to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had been badly injured during the fight.

[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|220px|Pikachu and Ash meeting for the first time]]
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, who was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric-type attacks dealt quite some damage. However, despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} managed to turn on the Gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu wounded.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash rushing Pikachu to the Pokémon Center]]
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Indeed, Raichu turned out to be more powerful than Pikachu, and a combination of attacks from it resulted in so much damage to Pikachu that he had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms. During the subsequent rematch with Lt. Surge, Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Using moves like {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which Raichu didn't know, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand and dodge Raichu's attacks. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack, but Pikachu used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock, and Raichu then ran out of electricity. Pikachu then used his tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.

In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Eventually, Kadabra used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and repeatedly smash him into the ceiling. Unwilling to see his friend suffer even more, Ash forfeited the match. In Ash's subsequent rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu fought Kadabra again, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Eventually, Haunter appeared and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh, leaving them incapacitated. As a result, Ash was declared the winner by [[Sabrina's father]], which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.

In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Pikachu entered the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] with {{AP|Squirtle}}. The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs, and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way, this helped as they managed to escape an {{p|Electrode}} self-destructing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, {{an|Misty}} and [[Dario]]. However, intervention from Team Rocket forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu, which was a very rare encounter. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. Ash was overjoyed by this at first, but soon began to feel sad, because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. However, Pikachu refused to leave Ash, and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Pikachu was borrowed by Misty, so she could use him in the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]]. During the competition, he was seen defeating a {{p|Fearow}}. In the finals, Pikachu was Misty's first Pokémon used against [[Jessie]]. Pikachu easily managed to defeat Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}} and {{MTR}} in succession with a single Thunder Shock. Pikachu then faced [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. He tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but was then licked by Lickitung and knocking him out.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]], whose attacks eventually almost caused Pikachu to fall off the battlefield and into the lava below. Seeing that, Ash then decided to forfeit the match.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all of the opposing Pokémon at once, causing {{p|Machamp}}, Rhydon and {{p|Kingler}} to run away in fear, and defeating Arbok and Weezing. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got his eighth Gym Badge, the {{badge|Earth}}.

Pikachu made friends with another Pikachu, [[nickname|named]] [[Puka]], in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This particular Pikachu had blue eyes, and was an excellent surfer. Ash and his friends had to save both Pikachu when Team Rocket tried to steal them both using their submarine.

Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu fought [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}} and defeated it by using the water made from the melted ice battlefield to conduct his powerful Thunderbolt. In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he fought [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}.

Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to participate in the battle. Pikachu started off with {{m|Double-Edge}}, knocking Happy to the ground. As Happy tried flying up, he held on to it, and defeated the Butterfly Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by its {{m|Tackle}}.

In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with some of his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Archipelago]] with him.

====Orange Archipelago====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a {{p|Drowzee}} to take over the minds of many Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]], including Pikachu. In order to rescue the Pokémon, Ash taunted Pikachu into using Thunderbolt on him, which also hit the machine that Drowzee was wired to, freeing all of the Pokémon from its control.

In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Ash called Pikachu to help mold a block of ice into a sled, as part of his competition against [[Danny]]. He later rode in the sled along with his Bulbasaur and Squirtle in a race against Danny and his team. In the end, Ash managed to win the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Eventually, Pikachu lost.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Electabuzz absorbed the attack. He and Electabuzz then both used Quick Attack, but Electabuzz was able to overpower him. Pikachu was then defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.

[[File:PikaMeowthOffer.png|thumb|230px|Pikachu offering {{MTR}} an apple]]
In [[EP104|the following episode]], Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and [[James]]. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon, and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first, and separated them from each other.

In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other right before the battle, affecting their teamwork negatively. However, after seeing Charizard being repeatedly attacked by Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}}, Pikachu decided to help his partner, cementing their cooperation. As Alakazam was about to unleash its {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Charizard, it got hit by Marowak's Bonemerang, causing Hyper Beam to be launched at Marowak, knocking both Pokémon out. This gave Ash the victory, winning him the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in good shape as Pikachu was. After continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. Eventually, Pikachu managed to jump on Dragonite's head by using his tail as a spring board to dodge the attack, and finally defeat it with a powerful Thunder, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Orange League Hall of Fame]].

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled [[Gary's Eevee]] and was eventually defeated after Eevee used a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}. Later on in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.

====Johto====
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle against {{an|Casey}}, where he faced her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}. Despite Casey having only recently obtained {{p|Chikorita}}, it quickly gained the upper hand. Just then, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal their Pokémon. Their plan failed, however, when Pikachu and Chikorita were reunited with their Trainers, and teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.

In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled and defeated Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but since he was already tired from his previous matches, he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} and defeated it. He then went up against Bugsy's last, and most powerful Pokémon, {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. Despite having the type advantage, Pikachu's Thunderbolt attacks constantly missed because of {{p|Scyther}}'s Double Team. The real Scyther appeared behind Pikachu and hit him with a series of {{m|Fury Cutter}}, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Pikachu was used to battle Misty for the ownership of {{AP|Totodile}}. He went up against {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, but, because he did not want to hurt his friend, he forfeited the match by running away.

In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried up, making Thunderbolt useless. Pikachu then tried attacking with Agility, but he was overpowered and defeated by two Rollout attacks, causing Ash to lose the battle.

In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch. Due to Ash's strategy with Cyndaquil and Totodile, Miltank lost her balance. This gave Pikachu the opportunity to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches, and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Pikachu and Ash entered the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The two encountered a {{p|Weedle}}, but before Pikachu could attack it, Casey's Chikorita intervened, and Casey caught the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Later, Ash and Pikachu chased after a Scyther, but accidentally disturbed a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} in the process. Pikachu managed to shock one of the Beedrill with Thunderbolt, giving Ash the chance to catch it. With this capture, Ash managed to win the contest, winning him a [[Sun Stone]].

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his Pokémon to assist him in the [[Seaking Catching Day]]. After Ash managed to reel in a {{p|Seaking}}, Pikachu weakened it with Thunderbolt so Ash could catch it.

Pikachu befriended a bunch of {{p|Pichu}} in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first, they framed Pikachu for eating some apples, but when the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu warded it off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu was kidnapped by Team Rocket after they sucked away its electricity. However, the Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity, and together, they blasted Team Rocket off.

In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]]. He faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}}, but was defeated by a single {{m|Night Shade}}.

In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}, but his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack did not defeat it. Afterwards, it hit Pikachu with a series of powerful {{m|Double Slap}} attacks, knocking him out.

In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed by constantly dodging each other's attacks. Finally, Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite, so Magnemite could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. Pikachu then finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next, Pikachu faced off against Jasmine's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and was quickly defeated by a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In [[EP238|the following episode]], Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who had already defeated Ash's Cyndaquil. Though the battle was well-fought, Pikachu wound up receiving more damage. Despite this, he refused to give up and was about to attack again when [[Pryce]] forfeited, giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.

In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], pitting him against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Since Ash was unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Pikachu's Electric attacks and [[physical move]]s didn't affect the Dragon Pokémon, forcing him to follow Misty and Brock's advice and recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped stop the rampage of a {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old {{gy|Blackthorn}} {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}}.

In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's last Johto Gym battle against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite Pikachu having the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be powerful and initially gained the upper hand. Eventually, Ash had Pikachu use Agility to get onto Gyarados's Hydro Pump, allowing him to defeat the Atrocious Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu, who managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knock him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.

In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', Pikachu was used by Ash in the Athlete's Round of the [[Silver Conference]], going up against [[Salvador]] and his {{p|Furret}}. Furret proved to be a tough opponent by repeatedly using {{m|Dig}} to confuse and attack Pikachu. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab Furret's back, and as it dove back into one of its holes, Pikachu defeated it with a powerful combination of Thunderbolt and Quick Attack.

Pikachu was used again in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where he faced off against [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}. After a while, Pikachu defeated Azumarill with a super-effective Thunder. Next, Pikachu went up against Jackson's {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. After exchanging hits from each other's Thunderbolt, Magneton dodged Pikachu's Quick Attack, and stunned Pikachu with Thunder Wave, before defeating him with Tri Attack.

In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}. Pikachu battled Harrison's {{p|Kecleon}}, which used its {{a|Color Change}} [[Ability]] to hide itself in the tall grass while hitting Pikachu with its tongue. Eventually, Pikachu managed to grab Kecleon's tongue, and defeated it with Thunderbolt. Harrison then sent out his {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}, who managed to avoid Pikachu's Thunderbolt using its speed, and then defeated him with a single {{m|Metal Claw}}.

After saying farewell to Misty and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]], and left [[Pallet Town]] with him at the end of the episode. In [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu were attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it and drain his electricity. Eventually, thanks to some wild Pokémon, and Officer Jenny, Pikachu was saved. The next day, Ash tried to wake Pikachu up, but soon noticed that he was suffering from a severe illness caused by the electromagnet.

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash was willing to get Pikachu some help regarding taking care of the illness. He met up with [[Professor Birch]], who took Pikachu to his lab. Even though they were able to strap him to the machine to drain out the overload electricity he received, the machine exploded as the electricity levels were too high. Pikachu then ran off, with Ash and Professor Birch chasing after him. Eventually, Ash managed to find Pikachu, but in his confused state, Pikachu attacked him, and fled towards the end of a cliff. As Pikachu fell off the cliff, Ash fearlessly jumped after him, and managed to catch him, and grab a branch. Pikachu tried resisting, but Ash was able to get through, and calm him down. When Ash and Pikachu were pulled up to safety, Team Rocket arrived. Their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] accidentally cured Pikachu of his illness, and he was able to blast them off, destroying {{an|May}}'s bike in the process.

In ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]'', Ash used Pikachu in an unofficial 1-on-1 battle against [[Norman]], since Ash only had one Pokémon at the time instead of the three required. In the end, Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated Pikachu with a series of {{m|Scratch}} attacks. After their match, Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu and Vigoroth, but accidentally stole {{TP|May|Torchic}} instead. Later, Pikachu was used alongside Vigoroth to battle Team Rocket, and blasted them off in addition to rescuing Torchic.

In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Ash began teaching Pikachu Iron Tail in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle, a {{type|Rock}} Gym, and got help from a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named {{an|Chaz}} and his {{p|Sentret}}. Despite their effort and training, Pikachu was still unable to fully master Iron Tail.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Roxanne]], where he went up against her {{p|Geodude}} and eventually defeated it. Pikachu then faced [[Roxanne's Nosepass]], who took advantage of his difficulties in mastering Iron Tail and managed to impair his sight with {{m|Sandstorm}}. Eventually, Ash had Pikachu charge towards Nosepass and let him take its {{m|Zap Cannon}}, causing Pikachu to absorb the electricity. Pikachu then tackled Nosepass, releasing the electricity at Nosepass and causing it to become {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}. Afterwards, Pikachu defeated Nosepass with one final Iron Tail, finally mastering the move in the process, as well as earning Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.

In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash and his friends arrived at [[Mauville City]] and immediately proceeded to the [[Mauville Gym]]. Inside the group encountered a robot {{p|Raikou}}. Thinking it would attack, Ash ordered Pikachu to attack the robot with Iron Tail, causing an explosion. This destroyed the robot, but also overcharged Pikachu with electricity, unbeknownst to the rest, however. Later, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Wattson]]. Due to being overcharged, Pikachu defeated Wattson's Magnemite, {{p|Voltorb}}, and Magneton with one attack each, earning Ash the {{badge|Dynamo}}.

In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Lavaridge Gym]] battle. He was sent out against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}} after it had {{status|Burn|burned}} {{AP|Treecko}} and put {{AP|Corphish}} to {{status|sleep}}. During the battle, he finally broke {{p|Magcargo}}'s Reflect that was affecting previous battles. When Pikachu started to gain the upper hand, Flannery called for a {{m|Yawn}}, but Ash had Pikachu use Quick Attack, hitting it before Yawn could be executed, and then finished Slugma off with Thunder. Ash kept Pikachu in when Flannery used her last Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}. After repeatedly alternating between {{m|Iron Defense}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to keep the upper hand, Torkoal used {{m|Overheat}} to defeat Pikachu.

In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his official [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against Norman, and he went up against {{p|Slakoth}}. Eventually, Slakoth's {{m|Blizzard}} temporary disabled Pikachu, forcing him to be recalled. Later, Pikachu was sent out against Norman's Vigoroth. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Vigoroth swiftly dodged the attack, and launched a Scratch attack. However, Pikachu successfully blocked the attack with Iron Tail, but Vigoroth quickly recovered, and launched a Flamethrower, dealing much damage. Pikachu's electricity then inspired Ash to order Pikachu to use Quick Attack in order to dodge Vigoroth's Flamethrower. When Vigoroth launched another Scratch, Ash told Pikachu to stop where he was, and let him get hit. This activated Pikachu's Ability {{a|Static}}, paralyzing Vigoroth. This allowed Pikachu to defeat Vigoroth with Iron Tail. However, all this battling took its toll, as Pikachu fainted as well, ending the battle in a draw.

In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Fortree Gym]] battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled Winona's {{p|Pelipper}}, and despite having major type advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent, being able to use {{m|Steel Wing}} as a lightning rod to conduct Pikachu's Electric-type attacks to the ground, thus preventing damage. After Pikachu got hit by a Quick Attack, Ash decided Pikachu should fight at close range, and told him to use Quick Attack to get closer. However, this gave Pelipper the opportunity to hit Pikachu hard with a Hydro Pump. In spite of this, Pikachu stood his ground, and when Pelipper lifted its wing from the ground for a moment, Ash had Pikachu use Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both fainted.

In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this, and tricked Pikachu into joining them. He was then ordered to attack the group. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash fearlessly jumped on their balloon. Team Rocket ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt, causing them to get blasted off and causing Ash and Pikachu to fall down in a river. With Ash protecting Pikachu, Pikachu managed to regain his memory, and got rid of Team Rocket once again.

In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Ash and the group got on a submarine owned by [[Team Magma]], where they met Team Magma's leader, [[Maxie]]. An explosion caused by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}}, caused the [[Blue Orb]] to fly off Maxie's desk. Pikachu managed to catch the orb before Team Magma could regain it. However, the orb soon started to glow, and melted into Pikachu's body, greatly increasing his power, but also making him lose control over himself. In [[AG098|the next episode]], Pikachu awakened {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (AG)|Groudon}}, and aided it in its battle with {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to everyone's teamwork, {{p|Groudon}} was able to defeat Kyogre, causing the Blue Orb to emerge from Pikachu's body. Pikachu was then saved from drowning by Kyogre, and later bade it and Groudon farewell.

In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Ash used Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}} in the [[Double Battle]] against [[Tate and Liza]] with their respective {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}. However, Tate and Liza's teamwork began to crumble when Solrock's {{m|Solar Beam}} and Liza's {{m|Ice Beam}} accidentally collided with one another and canceled each other out, causing the twins to quarrel. Ash used this chance to recover, and had Pikachu and Swellow strike the opposing Pokémon with a respective Iron Tail and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Both Meteorite Pokémon then charged towards Pikachu using Tackle, but Swellow was able to save him in time, causing Solrock and Lunatone to crash into each other. The battle then got interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the Gym using their machine. Following Team Rocket's defeat, they all agreed to resume their battle outdoors. This time, the twins managed to put their differences aside and worked together as a team. At one point, Swellow dove down from the sky, with Pikachu onboard, to attack, but Solrock and Lunatone hit them with Solar Beam and Ice Beam. Ash thought about how to negate the dual attacks, and then had Pikachu use Thunder on the clouds. Lightning struck Pikachu and Swellow, which the two managed to endure. Once clear, Pikachu and Swellow were coated in a "Thunder Armor". Using this technique, Pikachu and Swellow managed to pierce through Solrock's Solar Beam and Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, and managed to defeat them using Iron Tail and Aerial Ace, earning Ash the {{badge|Mind}}.

In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]]. Pikachu battled against his {{p|Shelgon}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit. As Pikachu went for a second Thunderbolt, Shelgon used Double-Edge and managed to dodge the attack. Due to Shelgon's low {{stat|Speed}}, Pikachu easily dodged the attack with Quick Attack. When Pikachu was about to finish Shelgon off with Iron Tail, Shelgon had Pikachu come close, and then hit him hard with Dragon Breath. Shelgon then followed up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Pikachu used his Thunderbolt on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it to Snorunt. Pikachu used Thunder, but Seaking once again used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again. However, this time, Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo used Blizzard on the two, dealing much damage to Pikachu. Then, Ash had Snorunt use its Icy Wind to freeze the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar, which blocked Juan's view. Sealeo and Seaking destroyed the pillar with their Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam respectively. This created ice shards, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on. Snorunt then used {{m|Headbutt}}, while Pikachu used Iron Tail. Seaking and Sealeo responded using Hyper Beam and Aurora Beam. While Pikachu was able to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt wasn't able to avoid the Hyper Beam and was knocked out.

Ash then sent out his Corphish. After dodging Corphish's Bubble Beam, both of Juan's Pokémon attacked from below with Sealeo using Aurora Beam on Pikachu's platform, which he was able to dodge. Seaking attacked Corphish with {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Corphish was able to grab its horn. However, Seaking used Horn Drill, sending Corphish flying. Ash then had Pikachu use Iron Tail on Seaking. Despite Sealeo trying to stop Pikachu using Aurora Beam, Pikachu was able to defeat Seaking, as well as avoid the attack in time. Pikachu then rode on Corphish's back, heading towards Sealeo. Sealeo tried stopping them using {{m|Ice Ball}}, which got stronger with each attack. While Pikachu and Corphish managed to destroy the first three Ice Balls, the fourth one managed to hit them both. Sealeo then launched a fifth Ice Ball at them both. Pikachu launched a Thunder at the Ice Ball, and after increasing its power, he was able to break it. While the falling ice shards were hurting Sealeo, Corphish was able to defeat it with its {{m|Crabhammer}}, knocking it out, and ending the first round of the Sootopolis Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled.

In [[AG111|the next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunder, and although it dealt a lot of damage, Milotic nullified the damage by using Recover. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, in which Milotic's overpowered Pikachu's. Milotic quickly followed up with Twister, which was powered up by the water. Much to Juan's surprise, Pikachu was able to break through with Thunder, and followed up with a powerful Quick Attack. Milotic then used Hydro Pump, which Pikachu dodged, and used a super-effective Thunderbolt. However, Milotic shook the attack off, and used Recover, healing itself once again. Milotic then went underwater, making both Ash and Pikachu unable to see it. Milotic then tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail, but he dodged it and climbed onto Milotic's body. Milotic tried stopping him using Hydro Pump, but he dodged the attack. Pikachu then grabbed onto its eyebrows and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water. While underwater, Pikachu used Thunder, dealing major damage to Milotic, as water was an excellent conductor of electricity. This knocked out Milotic, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Rain}}.

In ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a 1-on-1 battle against his new rival [[Morrison]]. He faced [[Morrison's Beldum]]. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as the only move Beldum knew was Take Down, which he easily dodged before retaliating with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then dodged another Take Down, but this time Beldum reversed, and finally managed to hit Pikachu with its attack. After getting hit by a second Take Down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter another one, causing a big explosion which knocked both Pokémon out.

In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', Ash used Pikachu for the first round in the [[Ever Grande Conference]], he went up against {{OBP|Gilbert|AG126}} and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Hitmonlee used {{m|Rolling Kick}}, but Pikachu managed to avoid the attack, and hit Hitmonlee with Iron Tail. Hitmonlee then went for {{m|High Jump Kick}}, which Pikachu managed to dodge as well using Quick Attack, causing Hitmonlee to crash, and take major damage. As Pikachu charged in for one final attack, Hitmonlee hit him with Mega Kick. While heading towards the ground, Pikachu managed to escape Hitmonlee's kick, and hit him with Iron Tail, knocking it out, and causing Ash to advance to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament, part of the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against Katie's {{p|Golduck}}, and was sent out due to the type advantage he had. However, Katie immediately switched to her {{p|Dugtrio}}, who had a type-advantage of its own. Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Dugtrio used Dig to dodge the attack. Then, Dugtrio used {{m|Sand Tomb}}, creating a huge patch of quicksand. Pikachu tried to escape, but couldn't and got pulled by the sand. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt, which had no effect on Dugtrio since it was a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. Dugtrio used Double-Edge, and Pikachu attempted to block it with Iron Tail, but when both moves collided, Pikachu was knocked out, while Dugtrio emerged unharmed.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his Full Battle against Morrison in the Ever Grande Conference. He went up against his {{p|Steelix}}. Steelix used Dragon Breath, but Pikachu dodged it, and used Quick Attack. Steelix countered with Iron Tail, hitting Pikachu hard. Steelix then used Dig, hitting Pikachu from underneath the ground. Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, but Steelix quickly dodged that with another Dig. Pikachu managed to dodge Dig, and hit Steelix with Quick Attack. Then, both Pokémon used Iron Tail, but Steelix's managed to overpower Pikachu's, knocking him out.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his sixth and last Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}. He went up against Tyson's {{p|Metagross}}, who had already defeated Swellow and Grovyle, but had a crack in its armor as a result. Pikachu used Thunderbolt on the crack, but it didn't do much to Metagross. Metagross then used Psychic on Pikachu, but he was able to dodge it, and hit Metagross with Iron Tail. Pikachu then climbed onto Metagross, and as Metagross was unable to shake him off, Pikachu finally defeated the Iron Leg Pokémon with Thunder. After, Pikachu went up against Tyson's last Pokémon, his {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}}.
Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Thunder attacks soon proved to be useless, as Meowth each time defended itself against Pikachu's Electric-type attacks with its Thunderbolt. After realizing this, Ash had Pikachu fight close-range, and ordered him to use Quick Attack. However, Meowth dodged this with Double Team, and followed up with Iron Tail. Pikachu countered with his own Iron Tail, causing the moves to collide. Pikachu and Meowth started attacking unceasing, with each time their attacks colliding. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, with both Pokémon taking the hit, knocking them both down. Though initially both of them got up, Pikachu fainted from exhaustion, causing Ash to end up in the Top 8 of the Ever Grande Conference.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against [[Elite Four]] [[Agatha]], and her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but failed since Gengar was a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It was too fast for Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but after dodging a Shadow Ball, Pikachu was able to hit Gengar with an Iron Tail. Gengar then countered, and hit Pikachu with Shadow Ball, but Pikachu was able to climb on the Shadow Ball and went for Iron Tail. However, Gengar was able to prevent Pikachu from using Iron Tail with Double Team. Pikachu was able to destroy all the copies with Thunderbolt, as well as hit Gengar with it. Then, he dodged a Shadow Ball, and hit Gengar with Iron Tail. When Pikachu was about to finish Gengar off with Thunder, Gengar used {{m|Hypnosis}}, putting him to sleep. Gengar then proceeded to defeat him with {{m|Dream Eater}}. Afterwards, he helped to defeat Team Rocket along with Agatha's {{p|Golbat}}. Later on, Ash decided to enter the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} along with Pikachu, and his other Pokémon. He was later reunited with Misty, when he and Ash returned to Pallet Town.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', while battling Team Rocket's mecha, he used Quick Attack, which morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, easily destroying the mecha and blasting Team Rocket off. Despite this, Pikachu couldn't master the move. After lots of {{pkmn|training}}, Pikachu was finally able to master Volt Tackle in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', using the move to blast Team Rocket off, and saving a wild {{p|Celebi}}.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', when going to the [[Battle Pike]], Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket using their fake Battle Pike until rescued by {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, and her {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}} from the real Battle Pike. Later, Ash used Pikachu as his second and last Pokémon in his Battle Pike challenge against Lucy and her Milotic. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Lucy had Milotic take the attack, and countered with Hydro Pump. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but Milotic managed to overpower Pikachu. Pikachu's Quick Attack was then countered by Twister, and he was then hit by Hydro Pump. Milotic used Iron Tail, but Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, blocking Iron Tail, and paralyzing Milotic. Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but Milotic countered with a {{m|Facade}}, and since Milotic was paralyzed, its power was doubled, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Ash then had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on himself. As Milotic was about to end the match with Twister, Ash had Pikachu, who was boosted by Thunderbolt, jump into the Twister. Inside the Twister, Pikachu began spinning and used Volt Tackle, increasing his power, and proceeded to knock Milotic out, winning Ash the battle and earning him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Luck Symbol]].

In ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', Pikachu was chosen as Ash's partner in the [[Pokémon Orienteering]] held in [[Potpourri Island]]. In the end, however, the competition was won by James and his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}.

In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon to battle against {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. He went up against her Alakazam, who had already defeated Ash's previous two Pokémon. Pikachu managed to hit Alakazam with Thunderbolt, but Alakazam nullified the damage using Recover. Then, both Pokémon started exchanging Iron Tail and {{m|Focus Punch}} attacks, and then hit each other with Thunderbolt and Psybeam. Ash then ordered Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, but Pikachu ran straight towards the wall due to Psybeam's confusion effect. However, Pikachu managed to snap out of the confusion, after Ash had saved it, and managed to overpower Alakazam's Psybeam with Thunderbolt, defeating it. He went up against Metagross next. Metagross managed to sent Pikachu's Thunderbolt back at him using Psychic, dealing major damage. As Pikachu went for Quick Attack, Metagross used Iron Defense to deflect the attack, and hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Metagross fired a Hyper Beam, which defeated Pikachu, losing Ash the battle.

In [[AG170|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Anabel, this time facing her {{p|Espeon}}. Espeon proved to have great speed and power, dodging Pikachu's attacks, and afterwards, immediately hit Pikachu with its own attacks. After getting hit by Espeon's Quick Attack and Iron Tail, Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt. Espeon's Zap Cannon managed to overpower Pikachu's attack, and hit him hard. Pikachu tried Thunderbolt once again, but it was avoided. Espeon countered with Psychic, smashing Pikachu to the ceiling, causing Pikachu to fall down hard. However, Pikachu managed to land on his feet, and used Quick Attack. Espeon used Psychic again to stop Pikachu, and lifted him in the air. Pikachu managed to bounce off the ceiling, and landed on one of the stadium's lights. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, causing the lights to turn off, blocking Espeon's vision. Unable to see anything, Espeon was hit by Pikachu's next Thunderbolt. Pikachu then managed to avoid several Zap Cannon attacks, and hit Espeon again with Thunderbolt. Just as the lights turned on again, Pikachu jumped down and hit Espeon hard with his Iron Tail. He then rushed towards Espeon using Volt Tackle. Despite trying to stop Pikachu using Zap Cannon, the attack missed and Espeon got [[Fainting|knocked out]] by the powerful attack. This gave Ash the win, and earned him the [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Ability Symbol]].

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', in preparation for Ash's rematch against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} for his final frontier symbol, Pikachu reunited with Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard. Using Quick Attack to round up leaves created by Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}, they were able to make a den to sleep. Although he got in a fight with the other Pokémon, they later calmed down. The next day, they all continued to train. Pikachu was later captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued thanks to the efforts of Ash and the other Pokémon. They then combined their attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, they met up with Brandon again, and he agreed to have a four-on-four rematch with Pikachu and the other Pokémon at the [[Battle Pyramid]].

Pikachu was the fourth and final Pokémon used in Ash's Battle Pyramid challenge against Pyramid King Brandon in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. After Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Brandon's first three Pokémon were eliminated from the match, Pikachu was pitted against [[Brandon's Regice]]. Ash first had Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Regice seemed unfazed by the attack. Then, Regice countered with Blizzard. Pikachu quickly recovered, and used Iron Tail, but was unable to land since he had to dodge the Iceberg Pokémon's Ice Beam. Regice used Ice Beam again to counter Pikachu's Quick Attack, and despite Pikachu managing to dodge the attack again, the whole battle field got frozen in the process. This made Regice to move even quicker, while making it harder for Pikachu to move. As Regice was about to hit Pikachu with a Focus Punch, Pikachu was able to hit Regice with Thunderbolt, stunning it. This allowed Pikachu to hit Regice with a super-effective Iron Tail. However, Regice quickly recovered and used Ice Beam, creating ice pillars, which trapped Pikachu. With Pikachu being unable to do anything, Regice used Rest to heal itself completely. Despite Pikachu managing to escape using Iron Tail, Regice was able to wake up before Pikachu could attack it and hit him with an Ice Beam, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} him. While Ash was yelling words of encouragement, the referee began to declare Pikachu unable to battle. However, Pikachu managed to thaw out using Thunderbolt, while also hitting Regice in the process. Regice then hit Pikachu with Focus Punch, sending Pikachu bouncing across the ice field. However, Pikachu used this to his advantage and bounced back to Regice to hit it with two consecutive Iron Tails. However, Regice was still standing, and managed to trap Pikachu again between ice pillars using Ice Beam, and started to rest up again. Pikachu escaped again using Iron Tail, and charged towards Regice using Volt Tackle. Regice managed to awake in time again, and started using Ice Beam to stop Pikachu. However, Pikachu was alert, and dodged the attack, hitting Regice with a powerful Volt Tackle, finally knocking the {{pkmn|category|Iceberg Pokémon}} out. This gave Ash the win, and finally earned him his last Symbol, [[Symbol#List of Symbols|Brave Symbol]].

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Terracotta Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]], an informal event not sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]. He used Quick Attack and Thunderbolt at the same time to create electrical rings, and then sent them off with Iron Tail. When they collided, it created a firework-like effect. This performance allowed Ash to proceed to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]].

In ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a friendly battle against {{Gary}}, who used his powerful {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}, a Pokémon from the [[Sinnoh]] region. Both Pokémon used Thunderbolt and were evenly matched.Then, Pikachu used Quick Attack, but it was avoided by Electivire. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, but they were evenly matched. Pikachu used a close range Thunderbolt, which Electivire dodged by jumping. However, this was what Ash wanted, and had Pikachu use Volt Tackle since it was now defenseless. Suddenly, Electivire blocked the attack with {{m|Protect}}, damaging Pikachu due to recoil. Electivire then launched its powerful Thunder Punch, defeating Pikachu. Later, Pikachu went with Ash to Sinnoh, intending for him to be the only Pokémon to go with him, as he left his other Pokémon at Professor Oak's laboratory. However, {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on their ship, and Ash surprised at first, allowed her to accompany them to Sinnoh.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Pikachu was temporarily separated from Ash thanks to yet another plot by Team Rocket. Eventually, in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} found Pikachu and tried to catch him, but failed since he already had a Trainer. She also protected him from Team Rocket and managed to blast Team Rocket off alongside with him. Pikachu was eventually reunited with Ash in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Later, he was used as Ash's final Pokémon in a battle against Ash's new rival, [[Paul]], and his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Elekid simply absorbed the attack and then launched a powerful Thunder at him. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, but Elekid blocked the attack using Protect, causing him to take recoil damage. Pikachu, however, managed to get up and used Iron Tail, which was countered by Elekid's {{m|Brick Break}}. As the two moves were colliding, Paul mentioned Elekid still had one free arm and ordered it to hit Pikachu with Thunder Punch. Pikachu, however, managed to block Thunder Punch with Iron Tail and then hit Elekid hard. Elekid then managed to hit Pikachu with one more Brick Break, but as both Pokémon were exhausted they both fell down, resulting the battle in a tie.

In ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', Ash used Pikachu to battle [[Nando's Budew]]. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack. Budew tried countering with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Pikachu avoided the attack and hit Budew hard. Pikachu then got hit by Budew's {{m|Mega Drain}}, restoring some of Budew's health. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, dealing much damage to Budew. Budew then surprised everyone by evolving into {{p|Roselia}}. Roselia used {{m|Sunny Day}} and followed up with Solar Beam. Pikachu, however, managed to dodge Solar Beam and defeated Roselia with a powerful Iron Tail.

In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his second Pokémon in his first Sinnoh Gym battle against [[Roark]] and his {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but Cranidos dodged it and used {{m|Zen Headbutt}}. Pikachu stopped the attack with Iron Tail. However, Cranidos was able to withstand the attack and used Headbutt. Although Pikachu managed to dodge and attempted to use Thunderbolt, Cranidos still managed to score a direct hit on him. Pikachu then tried to use Thunderbolt again, but Cranidos used Zen Headbutt to stop him and then used another Headbutt to knock him to the ground. When Paul got up to leave, believing Ash had already lost, Pikachu suddenly showed his strength by letting off a powerful electric attack in the air, causing Paul to stay. As the battle continued, Pikachu used Quick Attack, while Cranidos used Flamethrower. Pikachu dodged the attack and hit Cranidos with Iron Tail. Cranidos then used {{m|Head Smash}}, while Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle. The collision of these attacks caused much damage to both Pokémon. Not wanting Pikachu to take any more damage, Ash recalled him.
Later, Pikachu was sent out again to battle Roark's Onix. Pikachu used Iron Tail, which was countered by Onix's Slam. Ash then came up with an idea and had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on the battlefield, causing rocks to be launched in the air. Onix tried heading forwards using Double-Edge, but couldn't due to the rocks. Pikachu then headed towards Onix using Quick Attack, but Onix quickly recovered and countered with {{m|Screech}}. Despite trying to still move forwards, Pikachu was overwhelmed by the attack and was blasted away, knocking him out and making Ash lose the battle.

In ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his rematch against Roark, where he faced Roark's Onix again. Pikachu used Quick Attack to climb onto Onix's body, after dodging a Slam. Onix tried to stop Pikachu using Screech, but failed and Pikachu managed to reach Onix's head. Despite trying to shake Pikachu off, Onix got hit by a super-effective Iron Tail. Onix then went for Double-Edge with Pikachu heading straight towards Onix. At the last moment, however, Pikachu used his newly learned spin technique to dodge the attack and went for another Iron Tail. Onix, however, managed to dodge and hit Pikachu hard with Slam. Onix then used {{m|Stealth Rock}}, but the move was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, preventing it from being executed as well as damaging Onix. Pikachu then used Iron Tail and while Onix tried countering with Screech, he managed to outspeed the Rock Snake Pokémon and defeated it. Pikachu was recalled when Roark sent out his Geodude.
Pikachu was later sent out to battle Roark's {{p|Rampardos}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but Rampardos dodged and went for Zen Headbutt. Pikachu tried dodging the attack using his spin technique again, but still got hurt in the process. He then used Quick Attack, while Rampardos countered with Headbutt. Pikachu managed to avoid Headbutt by spinning head over heels, but got thrown in the air by Rampardos's tail. Pikachu then headed down using Iron Tail with Rampardos countering with Zen Headbutt. This caused Pikachu's Static to activate, but it was cancelled out by Rampardos's {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Rampardos then hit Pikachu hard with Zen Headbutt, knocking him out.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt, but the attack was blocked by Prinplup's Metal Claw. Prinplup then used Drill Peck, but Pikachu managed to dodge the attack by spinning and hit Prinplup with Iron Tail, sending it to the ground.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Ash entered Pikachu in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. Pikachu was able to imitate several Pokémon and, as a result, advanced to the finals. However, he ended up losing to [[Brock's Croagunk]].

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Pikachu was used in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where he battled alongside [[Paul's Chimchar]]. Pikachu and Chimchar faced a Rhydon and a Magmar. Pikachu started off using Thunderbolt on Magmar, but the attack got redirected to Rhydon due to its {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability. Unharmed by the Electric-type attack, Rhydon proceeded to hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Megahorn}}. Magmar then used {{m|Lava Plume}}, dealing minor damage Rhydon. While Pikachu managed to dodge the attack, Paul had Chimchar jump right in to power up its {{type|Fire}} moves. Despite this, Chimchar's Flamethrower did little damage to Rhydon and Chimchar got hit by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Pikachu then managed to hit Rhydon with a super-effective Iron Tail, dealing much damage. Rhydon then used {{m|Surf}}, while Magmar protected itself with Protect. Pikachu, however, managed to break through the Surf and defeat Rhydon using Iron Tail. Pikachu then used Volt Tackle, while Magmar countered with Fire Punch. This gave Chimchar the opportunity to hit Magmar with a super-effective Dig, knocking it out and causing Ash and Paul to proceed to the next round of the tournament.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Ash and Pikachu tried stopping a wild {{p|Spiritomb}} from rampaging, after the gang accidentally destroyed the [[Hallowed Tower]], thus freeing Spiritomb from the [[Odd Keystone]].

In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Pikachu encountered Paul's Electabuzz again at [[Reggie]]'s home, where the two started fighting. The Pokémon got separated by [[Maylene's Lucario]].

Pikachu tried dodging using his spin technique, but failed to do so and got hit hard. Pikachu then managed to dodge Staraptor's Steel Wing, by using Iron Tail on the ground to jump high in the air. He then used Volt Tackle, which was countered by Staraptor's {{m|Wing Attack}}, causing both Pokémon to fall down. In the end however, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type trainer named [[Sho]] wished Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a Pichu and {{p|Raichu}} and wanted to have the full evolution line in his team. Ash obviously refused, so Sho challenged him to a battle against his powerful Raichu. Unlike Lt. Surge's Raichu, this particular Raichu was fast as well as knew powerful attacks. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was easily taken by Raichu, who then proceeded to launch Thunder at Pikachu. Pikachu unwilling to dodge, took the attack and charged in using Volt Tackle. Raichu countered with its own Volt Tackle, sending both Pokémon flying back. Raichu managed to land back on its feet, while Pikachu crashed into a rock. Both Pokémon then clashed with Iron Tail. Raichu then managed to take Pikachu's Quick Attack and started using Hyper Beam. As Pikachu was trying to get away, Raichu used its tail to trap Pikachu and proceeded to hit him with a close-range Hyper Beam, defeating him as well as seriously injuring him.
During his recovery, Pikachu began to reconsider his earlier decision not to evolve since there would always be attacks and abilities that he simply couldn't learn otherwise. When Ash went to check on Pikachu he found both Pikachu and his Thunder Stone missing, causing him to think Pikachu may had evolved into Raichu. However, he soon found Pikachu training in the forest, trying to get stronger without evolving.

After some hard training, Ash and Pikachu re-challenged Sho and Raichu. Raichu started off using Iron Tail, but Pikachu managed to constantly dodge its attacks by circling around. However, Raichu eventually managed to hit Pikachu and threw him in the air. While he was heading down Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Raichu's Volt Tackle. Raichu then went for another Volt Tackle, but Pikachu dodged it by spinning. Pikachu then circled around again to avoid Raichu's Iron Tail attacks, causing Raichu to lose its footing. This gave Pikachu the opportunity to hit it hard with a Quick Attack. Pikachu then proceeded to dodge Raichu's attacks and immediately after hit it with its own moves, dealing much damage. Raichu, however, was still standing and managed to trap Pikachu with its tail again, while charging Hyper Beam. As Hyper Beam was launched, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to block Hyper Beam, decreasing its power. As Raichu had to recharge, Pikachu proceeded to hit Raichu with a Volt Tackle-Iron Tail combination, dealing major damage. Pikachu and Raichu then clashed with Volt Tackle, proving to be equal in power. Pikachu then avoided Raichu's Iron Tail and flung it into a tree using Iron Tail. Raichu then tried trapping Pikachu again while using Hyper Beam, but Pikachu dodged its tail and used Hyper Beam's power to jump high in the air. Pikachu then headed down using a spinning Iron Tail and finally knocked Raichu out, proving he had once again made the right decision not to evolve.

In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', Pikachu and {{AP|Buizel}} got into a fight after Buizel got accidentally hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while training. Later, Pikachu was the first Pokémon used in Ash's [[Pastoria Gym]] battle. He went up against [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit on Gyarados, but despite the super-effective attack, Gyarados was unharmed. Gyarados used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Pikachu blocked it with Iron Tail and used the strike to jump above Gyarados. Gyarados charged in with Bite, but Pikachu, while still in mid-air, used Volt Tackle, hitting Gyarados to the face and knocking it out. He was recalled after Crasher Wake sent out {{p|Quagsire}}.
Later, after Buizel was recalled, Pikachu went up again against {{p|Floatzel}}. He used Thunderbolt, but Floatzel countered with {{m|Whirlpool}}. The collision caused electrified water droplets to fall on Buizel, curing his confusion. Pikachu used Volt Tackle, but Floatzel overpowered it and damaged him with {{m|Razor Wind}}. Pikachu then got hit by {{m|Ice Fang}}, causing a part of his back to get frozen. Pikachu was then recalled after Buizel wanted to fight again. As they passed each other they exchanged high-fives and Buizel broke the ice on Pikachu's back with Water Gun, settling their quarrel.

[[File:Hearthome Collection Pikachu.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu in the Hearthome Collection]]
In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', Pikachu was used in the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their Pokémon whose winner would get the chance to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. At first, Pikachu was shy to go on stage wearing the outfit Ash had designed for him, but after hearing some encouraging words from Ash, he overcame his moment of shyness and went on stage to perform. He used his Thunderbolt attack to light up the [[Contest Hall|hall]], captivating the judges' attention. [[Hermione]] commented that, although Ash didn't quite get it what it means to be a Pokémon Stylist, he was at least making an effort to show off his Pokémon, instead of focusing solely on the clothing aspect. For this reason, Pikachu was among the three finalists, along with [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and Pikachu ended up in third place, receiving the Unique Award for their original costumes and performance.

In ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', Pikachu was used in an unofficial battle against the [[Hearthome City]] Gym Leader [[Fantina]]. Pikachu faced her {{TP|Fantina|Drifloon}}, who had already defeated Buizel and put Chimchar to sleep. After getting hit by {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, Pikachu hit Drifloon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then used Volt Tackle, but Drifloon countered with {{m|Ominous Wind}}, stopping Pikachu and blowing him back. He then managed to hit Drifloon with another Thunderbolt, but this triggered Drifloon to evolve into {{p|Drifblim}}. Drifblim managed to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt and followed up with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep. With two of his Pokémon sleeping Ash decided to forfeit the match.

In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his final Pokémon in a three-on-three battle against {{an|Barry}}, where he faced [[Barry's Empoleon]]. Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Pikachu was forced to dodge Empoleon's {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. Empoleon then used Steel Wing, which clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. While continuously exchanging Steel Wings and Iron Tails, Pikachu eventually got hit, knocking him back. While struggling to get back up, Empoleon fired a Hyper Beam at Pikachu, launching him in the air. When it seemed to be over, Ash's words of encouragement managed to get through and Pikachu was able to hit Empoleon with a super-effective Thunderbolt. He then hit Empoleon with a powerful Volt Tackle, knocking it out.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's third Pokémon in his [[Hearthome Gym]] battle. He went up against Fantina's Drifblim. Pikachu used a Thunderbolt [[Counter Shield]], hurting Drifblim as well as paralyzing it. Drifblim, however, immediately blew the electricity away with Psychic. Drifblim then used a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Psychic to create a Counter Shield of its own. Pikachu used Counter Shield again, but it was overwhelmed as Drifblim's lasted longer due to it being supported by Psychic. Drifblim's Counter Shield then surrounded Pikachu, causing him to be unable to use Thunderbolt. Drifblim then proceeded to hit Pikachu with Hypnosis, putting him to sleep, and finished him off with Ominous Wind.

In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's partner in a [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. In the first round they faced [[Wilkinson]] and his {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Despite putting up a good match, Ash and Pikachu got eliminated.

Pikachu managed to hit Magmortar with Quick Attack. However, upon making contact, he was burned by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}}. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, which was countered by Magmortar's Flamethrower. He then went for Volt Tackle, which was countered by Magmortar's Rock Tomb. Despite managing to push through and destroy multiple rocks, Pikachu was eventually thrown back after crashing in one of the rocks and got immediately after damaged by his burn. Magmortar then used Smog, but Pikachu blocked it using his Thunderbolt Counter Shield. After taking more burn damage, Pikachu dodged Magmortar's Flamethrower and struck Magmortar with an Iron Tail, only to take burn damage again after. He was then recalled.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|thumb|left|250px|Static activated]]
Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. Pikachu hit Ursaring with Quick Attack, but the Hibernator Pokémon managed to take it and hit Pikachu hard with Hammer Arm. The physical contact activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Ursaring, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit it with Iron Tail. The paralysis, however, activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, greatly increasing Ursaring's Attack. Pikachu tried stopping Ursaring with Thunderbolt, but it managed to push through and slammed him into [[Lake Acuity]] with an extremely powerful Hammer Arm, taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only Chimchar.

In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against Barry's {{p|Heracross}}. Pikachu started off using Quick Attack, but Heracross endured the hit and hit him with Horn Attack. Their battle was stopped, when Barry saw a {{p|Xatu}} flying and decided to follow it.

Pikachu and {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}}'s {{p|Snorlax}} quickly managed to take the lead and after racing neck-to-neck with Snorlax, Snorlax's large belly passed the finish line first. This meant Daniel had won the Pokéathlon with Ash ending up in second place.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Sinnoh Elite Four]] member {{ef|Flint}}. He faced [[Flint's Infernape]], who had already defeated Ash's Buizel and his Infernape. Pikachu first used Quick Attack, but Infernape simply took the attack and used {{m|Flare Blitz}}. Pikachu countered with Volt Tackle, causing an explosion. Infernape and Pikachu then clashed with {{m|Mach Punch}} and Iron Tail, but Infernape overpowered Pikachu sending him flying into a wall. Infernape then hit Pikachu hard with {{m|Close Combat}} and slammed him down to the ground. Before hitting the ground, Pikachu still managed to hit Infernape with Thunderbolt. Infernape then headed downwards using Flare Blitz, being unable to dodge Pikachu was hit hard by the Fire-type move. Pikachu, however, still didn't give up and used Quick Attack. Infernape took the attack again and used this chance to knock him back with Close Combat. Pikachu then used Thunderbolt, but Infernape countered with Flare Blitz, breaking through the attack and hitting him hard. Pikachu and Infernape then clashed with Volt Tackle and Mach Punch, causing an explosion, knocking Pikachu to the ground. As Pikachu went for one more Volt Tackle, Infernape countered with Thunder Punch, causing another explosion. As the smoke cleared both Pokémon were still standing, but eventually Pikachu fell down, giving Flint the win.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Pikachu first launched a Quick Attack, which Electivire dodged. Electivire then launched a Fire Punch and {{m|Ice Punch}}, both of which were dodged. After dodging these attacks Pikachu had hit Electivire with two Thunderbolts, which Electivire absorbed due to its Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}, increasing its Speed. Due to its increased Speed, it dodged Iron Tail with ease and managed to hit Pikachu with Fire Punch. Electivire then hit Pikachu with Ice Punch, which activated Pikachu's Static, paralyzing Electivire as well as slowing it down. Due to Electivire's paralysis, Pikachu was able to dodge an Ice Punch and countered another one with Iron Tail. As Electivire went for another Ice Punch, Pikachu managed to outspeed the Thunderbolt Pokémon and defeat it with Iron Tail. Pikachu was then recalled. He later went up against Volkern's {{p|Luxray}}. His Quick Attack was stopped by {{m|Shock Wave}}, knocking him back. Pikachu then launched three successful Iron Tails but the fourth was countered by {{m|Thunder Fang}}, which overpowered Pikachu. He was then knocked out by Luxray's Shock Wave.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}. First he and Aggron clashed with Iron Tail and Metal Claw, proving to be equal in power. Aggron then countered with {{m|Metal Sound}}, hurting Pikachu's ears. Pikachu managed to stop Aggron with Thunderbolt and headed forwards using Volt Tackle. This attack, however, was stopped by Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, dealing much damage. Pikachu was then recalled in place of Infernape. [[DP187|Later]] Pikachu was used again in Ash's battle against Paul, this time facing Paul's {{p|Froslass}}. Froslass started off using {{m|Hail}}, activating her {{a|Snow Cloak}} Ability, making it hard to keep track of Froslass's movements. As Pikachu kept getting attacked by his opponent, he tried countering with Thunderbolt. The falling hail, however, protected Froslass from Thunderbolt, giving Froslass the chance to hit Pikachu hard with an {{m|Ice Shard}}. Pikachu then tried attacking with Volt Tackle, only to be easily dodged by the Snow Land Pokémon. As Froslass went for another Ice Shard to finish Pikachu off, Pikachu managed to avoid it by jumping and hit Froslass with a super-effective Iron Tail. Due to the large amount of damage Froslass had taken, the hail disappeared. Froslass then went for an Ice Beam, freezing Pikachu. As Froslass was about to finish Pikachu off with Ice Shard, Pikachu managed to thaw out with Volt Tackle and knocked the Snow Land Pokémon out. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. He was then once again recalled. During [[DP188|the continuation of their battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to battle Paul's Electivire. Electivire started off by using Thunder on the battle field, launching rocks at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, managed to maneuver through the rocks with Quick Attack and strike Electivire with a direct hit on the head. Electivire, however, quickly recovered and grabbed Pikachu with its tails. As Pikachu tried using Iron Tail, Electivire smacked him to the ground. Using these movements however, Pikachu managed to escape from Electivire's grip. Pikachu and Electivire then clashed with Quick Attack and Brick Break, pushing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then went for Volt Tackle. Electivire blocked the attack, activating its Motor Drive Ability. It then went for a speedy Thunder Punch, but this was countered by Pikachu's Iron Tail. Both attacks, however, proved to be equal in power making Pikachu unable to move. This gave Electivire the opportunity to use Brick Break with its other arm, knocking Pikachu out.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. In the beginning almost none of his attacks hit or did any damage to Latios and his attacks got easily overwhelmed by Latios's powerful attacks. However, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt to severely damage Latios. Latios then used Light Screen, reducing the damage caused by Thunderbolt. Despite this Pikachu kept using Thunderbolt until he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge, causing a massive explosion. In the end, however, both he and Latios fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon had fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle, placing Ash in the Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Pikachu helped search for {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, when he had run away.

Then Team Rocket appeared, but Pikachu and Piplup managed to blast them off with a Volt Tackle and Hydro Pump combination. Later, Pikachu said goodbye to Dawn and Piplup, before he, Ash and Brock boarded the ship heading to [[Kanto]]. Upon arriving in Kanto, Pikachu and Ash finally bade farewell to Brock too and the two continued on towards Pallet Town.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
====Unova====
Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just as he did in Hoenn. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu joined Ash, [[Delia]] and Professor Oak on a trip to the Unova region. Upon arriving in Unova, Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused him to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this during his battle against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}. After scoring a direct hit with Quick Attack and avoiding Snivy's Tackle, Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but was unable to and got hit by a Tackle. Unable to use Thunderbolt again, he went for Volt Tackle, but failed to use this move as well, wearing Pikachu out greatly. Noticing Pikachu's inability of using Electric-type moves, Ash ordered Pikachu to use Iron Tail. This attack, however, was dodged by Snivy, who then proceeded to defeat the exhausted Pikachu with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. In [[BW002|the next episode]], Pikachu recovered his Electric-type moves.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{TP|Cress|Panpour}}.

He then threw Tranquill in the air and defeated it with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who had evolved into Servine.

After both Pokémon got blown back by the collision, only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win.

In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of troublemaking {{p|Ducklett}} stole [[Ash's hat]] and [[Sunglasses Sandile|Sandile]]'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. After unintentionally shocking himself with Thunderbolt, because he was stuck in a beach umbrella, Pikachu couldn't use Electric-type attacks. Eventually his anger caused him to learn {{m|Electro Ball}} and blasted the Ducklett off with his new move as well as recovering his ability to use Electric-type moves. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Pikachu got hit by {{m|Stone Edge}}, but immediately countered with Quick Attack. As Pikachu used Iron Tail, Sandile used Dig to avoid getting hit and hit Pikachu hard. Sandile then used another Dig, hitting Pikachu again. As Pikachu had trouble getting up, Sandile suddenly evolved into {{p|Krokorok}}. Krokorok then went for Stone Edge, but Pikachu used Electro Ball to deflect Stone Edge back at Krokorok, defeating it and blasting it off.

In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his last Pokémon in his [[Castelia Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was dodged. He then used Iron Tail, but this was blocked by Leavanny's Protect. Leavanny's {{m|Leaf Storm}} was countered by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but it then used {{m|String Shot}} on Pikachu, binding him, making him unable to dodge Leaf Storm and causing him to lose his balance. Unable to break free from the strings he was hit by Leaf Storm again. He then tried a Thunderbolt but missed due to his loss of balance. He was then hit by a powerful Hyper Beam, but refused to give up. When Leavanny used Leaf Storm, Pikachu spun and charged into the Leaf Storm, cutting the threads. Pikachu then dodged Leavanny's String Shot's with Quick Attack. After countering another String Shot with Thunderbolt, he hit Leavanny with Iron Tail and finished the Nurturing Pokémon off with Electro Ball, earning Ash the {{badge|Insect}}.

In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the final round of the [[Club Battle]] against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Ash had Pikachu start off with an ineffective Thunderbolt to show they were getting serious. Pikachu and Excadrill then collided with Quick Attack and {{m|Drill Run}}, but Excadrill immediately turned and grabbed Pikachu's tail. He then threw Pikachu in the air and hit him hard with Metal Claw. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail. Excadrill tried countering with Metal Claw, but Pikachu managed to dodge it and hit him hard. After a collision between Pikachu's Electro Ball and Excadrill's {{m|Focus Blast}}, Excadrill used Dig to hit Pikachu from beneath, launching him in the air spinning. Pikachu, however, kept spinning and used this to hit Excadrill with an extra powerful Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Iron Tail, but got overpowered by Drill Run. He then barely dodged a Dig, but was then unable to dodge Excadrill's Focus Blast, knocking him out, making Iris the winner of the tournament.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash was in doubt for what Pokémon he should use after his two Pokémon were defeated in his Gym battle against [[Elesa]], Pikachu shocked Ash to convince him to use him. He went up against Elesa's powerful {{p|Emolga}}. After both Pokémon's Electro Balls collided, Pikachu defeated the Sky Squirrel Pokémon with a single Quick Attack. Pikachu then faced Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}. Despite her not looking very strong, Tynamo proved to be a tough opponent, using speedy and strong Tackles to hit Pikachu hard. Tynamo managed to slam Pikachu into the ground. While stuck in the ground he was unable to defend himself against Tynamo's countless Tackles. Pikachu eventually managed to break free and started using Thunderbolt on the battle field. The now rocky field forced Tynamo to face Pikachu head on only. Tynamo then dashed forwards using Tackle. Pikachu had Tynamo come close and then launched a powerful Iron Tail, defeating her thus winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Pikachu was used in a battle against the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]], where he faced his {{p|Bouffalant}}.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}.

As Unfezant then headed towards Pikachu using Aerial Ace, Pikachu lured him in to hit him hard with Iron Tail. Unfezant was then finished off by Electro Ball. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}. Despite Swanna major Electric weakness, Pikachu's Electric-type moves proved to be useless, as Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to protect itself against them. Pikachu then used Iron Tail, but Swanna ascended and dodged the attack. Ash then had the idea to have Pikachu jump on the rings above the battle field, while using Quick Attack, to get close to Swanna and managed to hit the White Bird Pokémon hard. Swanna, however, quickly recovered and hit Pikachu with Bubble Beam, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was then hit by a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and got finished off by a brutal Brave Bird.

In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', Ash and Pikachu entered the [[Wishing Bell Festival]]. By working together they managed to reach the final round, where they had to climb [[Mistralton Tower]] while protecting the flame of their {{p|Litwick}} candle.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]]. He faced Roxie's strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}, who had already beaten Ash's Pignite and {{AP|Palpitoad}}. Garbodor started off using Double Slap, but Pikachu used his swift movements to dodge Garbodor's long arms, causing them to tangle up. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor hard with Quick Attack. Garbodor then attacked by swinging its arms at Pikachu, but he managed to dodge again and shocked the Trash Heap Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. As Pikachu went for an Iron Tail, Garbodor knocked him back with its arms and followed up with several {{m|Gunk Shot}}s. Cornered by these attacks, Pikachu got caught by Garbodor's arms and was then hit by a series of Double Slaps. He was then hit by Gunk Shot, {{status|poison}}ing him. Roxie then ordered Garbodor to finish Pikachu off with {{m|Venoshock}}, but due to all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu had made with Garbodor, Pikachu's Static Ability had activated, paralyzing Garbodor. Pikachu used this opportunity to hit Garbodor with Thunderbolt, but it was able to withstand it and used Venoshock. Pikachu, however, overpowered the attack with Electro Ball and hit Garbodor, knocking it out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the Unova League.

Giovanni then successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a Thunder attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself.

While in Serperior's grasp, Pikachu hit him with Thunderbolt, but Trip quickly had Serperior anchor his tail in the ground, conducting the electricity to the ground, preventing damage. Serperior then tightened his grip, causing Pikachu to lose consciousness. When Serperior was about to finish Pikachu off by slamming him to the ground, Pikachu was awoken by Ash's voice and managed to escape from Serperior's grip by using Iron Tail on the ground. Pikachu's Iron Tail was then countered and overpowered by Serperior's Dragon Tail. Pikachu, however, still didn't give in and used an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combination, which clashed with Dragon Tail, causing a huge explosion. After the smoke cleared only Pikachu remained standing, giving Ash the win as well as his first win against Trip.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Razor Shell}}.

Pikachu then managed to avoid Force Palm, but Lucario chased after him and threw him in the air using {{m|Circle Throw}}. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and struck Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt, followed up by a Quick Attack. He then went for Iron Tail, but Lucario used {{m|Copycat}} to counter his attack, causing a big explosion. Despite the large amount of damage both Pokémon had taken, they still managed to stand up. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere, however, overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon, controlled by [[Colress]], trying to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control over Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head and ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves, Ash begged Pikachu to fight the control. Fighting against the control, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokémon fought against Team Plasma's Pokémon in order to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}.

This time however, Ash's voice didn't get through to Pikachu's control and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the [[Light Stone]] in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, to which they agreed. In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his own electricity to fight off Ghetsis's control, and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram in an attempt to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting and together with Reshiram destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all Pokémon from Team Plasma's control, thus defeating the team.

==={{series|XY}}===
In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Ash and Pikachu arrived in Kalos by plane along with Alexa. After being thrown out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] for not having enough Gym Badges, Ash was saved by {{an|Clemont}} while Pikachu was saved by {{an|Bonnie}}. Bonnie was excited to be holding Pikachu, leading to him shocking her because she was holding him too tightly. After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to.

In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig. Pikachu tried to confuse Bunnelby with his speedy movements, but the Digging Pokémon was able to hit him. Pikachu then scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from. Bunnelby then used Double Slap, hitting him several times before knocking him back. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which Bunnelby easily caught with his ears. Now, however, Bunnelby was unable to use his ears, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit the Digging Pokémon with Electro Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her Wobbuffet reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded Pikachu with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu was used to blast off the villains. Froakie soon collapsed from its injuries, so Ash, Pikachu, and their new friends went to [[Professor Sycamore]] to heal Froakie back to health.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed. When Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend, to the shock of many including {{an|Serena}}. They were both saved by a {{me|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}. Despite the type-advantage, Surskit proved to be a tough opponent, using its speedy movements to dodge Pikachu's attacks. Pikachu's Quick Attack was blocked by Protect and his Iron Tail was dodged. After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. While Pikachu slipped on the ice, Surskit was able to skate on it. Although Pikachu did get a successful hit with Iron Tail, his Thunderbolt was overpowered by Ice Beam and he was then knocked out by {{m|Signal Beam}}. After he was healed at the Pokémon Center, he trained with {{AP|Fletchling}} for their rematch by using Alexa's {{p|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}} to help them withstand {{p|Vivillon}}'s Gust, who beat Fletchling in the first battle.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his Gym Battle rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit. Using his training he was able to dodge Sticky Web, and after having his Thunderbolt blocked by Surskit's Protect and dodging its Signal Beam, he was able to hit Surskit with Iron Tail. Afterwards, Pikachu tried to stop Surskit from using Ice Beam on the field by climbing on it and using Thunderbolt, but Surskit was able to shake him off and managed to create the ice field as well as freezing the area. This time, however, using his tail, Pikachu was able to stabilize himself on the ice field. His Thunderbolt then overpowered Surskit's Signal Beam, defeating the Pond Skater Pokémon. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. Vivillon attacked with Gust, but as Pikachu was still damaged from battling Surskit, he wasn't able to withstand attack. As Vivillon went for another Gust, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail to anchor himself to the ice field to withstand the attack. Vivillon then used Solar Beam, which was countered with Thunderbolt. In his current position, however, Pikachu was left vulnerable to Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and got hit. While he was struggling to stay awake, Vivillon charged its Solar Beam. Thinking back to their training, Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to repel Sleep Powder, thus keeping him awake. Vivillon then launched the Solar Beam, but Pikachu was able to overpower it with Electro Ball, causing Vivillon to crash into the lamps which were frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam misfire, freezing its wing. This allowed Pikachu to defeat the Scale Pokémon with Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}.

[[File:Officer Jenny Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu hypnotized by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}}]]
In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', after overhearing one of Team Rocket's conversations, [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Malamar}} captured Pikachu. After Clemont attempted to use his "Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device" to find Pikachu, it was revealed that Malamar had hypnotized Pikachu, making him one of Madame X's subordinates. While searching for Pikachu, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena were also hypnotized by Malamar. Once Ash and Meowth finally found Pikachu, Team Rocket, and Madame X, Madame X forced Pikachu to attack Ash. Ash attempted to get through to Pikachu, which works and Pikachu starts to fight Malamar control. Pikachu electricity did get the Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device to bursted in and rammed into Malamar, causing it to lose its control over everyone. After Malamar revealed his plans through Meowth, Pikachu attempted to attack it, but Malamar managed to escape.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] battle against [[Grant]]. He went up against his {{p|Tyrunt}}. Pikachu was at a type-disadvantage since Tyrunt was part {{type|Dragon}}. Pikachu used Quick Attack and jumped to attack from above to avoid {{m|Crunch}} and hit Tyrunt. Tyrunt then used its signature {{m|Draco Meteor}}, but Pikachu dodged and struck it with a super-effective Iron Tail. As the meteor shower from Draco Meteor rained down, Pikachu used Iron Tail to jump on the meteors and perform the Draco Meteor Climb, which was based on the Rock Tomb Climb Froakie previously used. Tyrunt then used its jumping abilities to jump high and use Dragon Tail and clashed with Pikachu's Iron Tail. Grant then had Tyrunt use his favorite move, Rock Tomb, but Pikachu deflected the projectiles with Iron Tail, knocking one into Tyrunt's mouth. While Tyrunt was now unable to use Crunch, Pikachu had the opportunity to move close and finish with Ash's favorite move, Thunderbolt, defeating Tyrunt, winning the battle and earning Ash the {{badge|Cliff}}.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', Pikachu was used in the Ash's battle against [[Diantha]], the [[Kalos League]] Champion, where he faced her {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} managed to dodge all of Pikachu's attacks and hit him hard with a Shadow Ball. The battle was then interrupted by Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Pikachu's Quick Attack was easily taken by Lucario and his Iron Tail was blocked. Lucario used its great speed to dodge an Iron Tail and then raised its Attack using {{m|Swords Dance}}. Pikachu was then unable to dodge Lucario's speedy attacks and got hit by several {{m|Bone Rush}}es and was then finished off by a powerful {{m|Power-Up Punch}}.

Pikachu battled Lucario again in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', but this time against Lucario's [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form. Mega Lucario used Bone Rush, but Pikachu managed to knock the bone away with Iron Tail. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack and managed to dodge a Power-Up Punch. Lucario, however, started to go out of control and chased after him before kicking him into a rock. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but it dodged it and now started to attack Pikachu aggressively, forcing Ash to protect Pikachu. As Lucario went to attack Ash and Pikachu, [[Gurkinn]] sent out his {{p|Lucario}} to block the attack. Lucario then lost its conscious and the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Pikachu was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} alongside with [[Serena's Fennekin]] and [[Clemont's Chespin]] against [[Tierno's Squirtle]], [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]], and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. Pikachu and the others were having a hard time due to their opponents great teamwork, which led to Fennekin being defeated by Squirtle. When Pikachu used Quick Attack, Squirtle used Rapid Spin to block and send Pikachu flying. He also took some damage from the embers from Charmander's {{m|Flame Burst}} and he and the others were then hit by Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf. Pikachu then jumped to dodge a Flamethrower, but was then targeted by Bulbasaur's Solar Beam. Much to Shauna and her friends's surprise, Chespin used Vine Whip to pull Pikachu up, giving Pikachu the perfect opportunity to defeat Charmander with Thunderbolt. When Squirtle used Rapid Spin, Chespin used Vine Whip to stop it, while Pikachu managed to defeat Bulbasaur with Electro Ball. After avoiding Squirtle's {{m|Aqua Tail}}, Pikachu also defeated it with Thunderbolt giving Ash, Serena and Clemont the win {{tt|and the spot on the Hall of Fame|Despite having one point less than Team Chikorita, as the final scores were inconsistent with the points given on screen}}.

In ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon Ash used during his [[Shalour Gym]] battle with [[Korrina]], sending him out to face Korrina's Mega Lucario. Ash was convinced that Korrina wasn't the only one who trained, both Pokémon stared off as this was going to be the final battle. Pikachu used Quick Attack and combined it with Electro Ball, launching a fast Electro Ball, but this was deflected by Bone Rush. Pikachu's Iron Tail was blocked and Lucario kicked him into the air. While in mid-air, Pikachu hit Lucario with Thunderbolt, but it immediately countered with Aura Sphere, knocking him to the ground. Pikachu was able to get to up and showed his strength by unleashing his electricity. Lucario then used Metal Sound, which Pikachu drowned out using his Thunderbolt hitting Lucario as well. Then Lucario used Aura Sphere, but Pikachu used Iron Tail to bounce off it and jump, similar to the Draco Meteor Climb. Lucario jumped towards Pikachu and used Bone Rush, but Pikachu countered with Iron Tail. While both Pokémon were clashing with their attacks, they both crashed down on the ground. Both Pokémon, however, were still standing. Lucario's Power-Up Punch was then countered with Iron Tail, and its Aura Sphere then collided with Pikachu's Electro Ball. Pikachu was able to recover first from the collision and struck Lucario with Thunderbolt, finally defeating the Aura Pokémon, thus giving Ash the victory and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. As the group prepared to depart for [[Coumarine City]], Pikachu and Lucario bumped fists as a promise to battle again someday.

In ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Pikachu helped out a {{AP|Goomy}}, after they were stolen by Team Rocket. Knowing that his Thunderbolt wouldn't break their cage, Pikachu kept ramming it and managed to bend the bars. While Goomy managed to escape, Pikachu couldn't fit through until Goomy used its slime on its body to make him slip right through the bars. After getting out, they both ran off until they were noticed by Team Rocket, who gave chase. When Pikachu and Goomy were about to be hit by Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}'s Shadow Ball, Ash arrived with Fletchinder to protect them. When Team Rocket were about to capture Pikachu again, Ash told him to use Iron Tail, destroying the cage. While battling their foes, Pikachu used Electro Ball, countering Pumpkaboo's Shadow Ball. Then {{TP|James|Inkay}} used Psybeam, which managed to confuse Pikachu and Fletchinder, causing them to attack each other instead. As they were about to be finished off by Pumpkaboo and Inkay's {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, Goomy shielded them with its body and used {{m|Bide}} to attack Team Rocket's Pokémon. As the confusion wore off, Ash had Pikachu finish Team Rocket off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu informed to Ash that Goomy wanted to go with them, allowing him to capture it.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Pikachu alongside Sliggoo was used in a Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu. Before the battle could start, he was grabbed by a mecha created by Team Rocket, but Sliggoo was able to save Pikachu with Dragon Breath. After the mecha took Sliggoo, along with Wartortle and Raichu, Pikachu split up with Ash and Serena to look for them. After Sliggoo evolved into Goodra to save Ash and Pikachu, they restarted their battle. Pikachu hit Wartortle with Quick Attack and then quickly backed off to avoid a Rapid Spin. While Goodra was charging its Bide, Raichu fired a Focus Blast at it. Pikachu tried blocking the attack with Electro Ball, but got hit by Wartortle's Rapid Spin. Goodra, however, withstood the attack and fired off its Bide. Wartortle tried countering with Hydro Pump, but Pikachu blocked the attack with Iron Tail, causing Bide to hit its mark. Pikachu then countered Raichu's Focus Blast with Electro Ball to protect Goodra and after Goodra managed to daze both Pokémon by throwing Wartortle into Raichu, Pikachu and Goodra defeated them with a Thunderbolt and {{m|Dragon Pulse}} combo.

In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Lumiose Gym Battle against Clemont and went up against his Bunnelby. Pikachu used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Bunnelby, who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig, which was too fast for Pikachu to evade. Pikachu hit Bunnelby with Quick Attack, which Bunnelby quickly recovered from and managed to hit Pikachu several times with Double Slap. Pikachu then used Iron Tail which the Digging Pokémon caught with his ears. This reminded Bonnie of their first battle. Instead of letting Pikachu counter with Electro Ball, Bunnelby used his new move, {{m|Wild Charge}}, dealing major damage to Pikachu. Bunnelby then hit Pikachu with another Dig. He then responded with Quick Attack, but Bunnelby used Dig again. However, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, forcing Bunnelby to emerge and dealing major damage. Pikachu then used another Iron Tail, defeating Bunnelby. When Clemont sent out {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, Ash recalled Pikachu. He was later sent out to battle Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. Pikachu could take advantage of Luxray's {{m|Electric Terrain}}, which increased the power of Electric-type moves. Pikachu first used Thunderbolt, which was blocked by Luxray's Thunder Fang. He then used Wild Charge on Pikachu, dealing a lot of damage. Luxray followed up with Swift, but Pikachu was able to deflect it back to Luxray with Iron Tail. However, the Gleam Eyes Pokémon countered with Wild Charge, defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his three-round battle against [[Sawyer]]. He went up against {{p|Bagon}}, although he had a type-disadvantage. Pikachu's speedy Quick Attack was able to outmaneuver Bagon's Headbutt. After Thunderbolt and Dragon Breath collided in a draw, Pikachu jumped into the air and prepared to use Iron Tail. Sawyer had Bagon use Dragon Claw, but it was overpowered by Iron Tail and Pikachu knocked the Rock Head Pokémon out.

In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Pikachu, along with Ash and his friends, visited the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. There, they were tricked by Team Rocket, who separated the group from their Poké Balls, with only Pikachu managing to escape. During a battle against his enemies, Pikachu avoided being recalled into his Poké Ball and hid in one of the vent shafts without them knowing. He then first tried to free Ash and his friends with Iron Tail, but when that failed and Team Rocket discovered him, Pikachu attempted to get the briefcase that held the group's Poké Balls. Meowth then chased after Pikachu, being the only one small enough to squeeze through the factory equipment and ventilation shafts that Pikachu escaped through, and continuously attempted to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. In the end, the Team Rocket trio attempted to escape with all the Poké Balls they stole, though in the process of doing so, they saw Ash and Pikachu were after them. Pikachu managed to stop their van with his Thunderbolt and Meowth challenged Pikachu to a one-on-one battle, which he accepted. Pikachu managed to defeat his foe despite the Scratch Cat Pokémon attempting to use Pikachu's Poké Ball on him. After Team Rocket got blasted off again, the group was invited by the grateful factory staff to a genuine tour of the factory.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Pikachu was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Serena's Eevee]] and Shauna's Ivysaur with Tierno's Blastoise as his partner. Pikachu started the battle by firing an Electro Ball, which was countered by Ivysaur's Energy Ball. Then Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Eevee, but Ivysaur protected Eevee by using Razor Leaf. While Blastoise was struggling with Eevee, Pikachu scored a hit on Ivysaur with Iron Tail. Ivysaur retaliated with Vine Whip, but Pikachu dodged it. The battle was later called off by Serena. Ash and Tierno then decided to battle against each other and Pikachu faced Blastoise. A collision between Thunderbolt and Hydro Pump took place, but the outcome of the battle remains unknown.

In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', while he wasn't chosen for Ash's Double Battle with [[Olympia]], Pikachu did help Ash keep track of when the {{m|Future Sight}} from Olympia's two {{p|Meowstic}} would strike by using his tail as a makeshift timer. This eventually allowed Frogadier and Talonflame to turn the attack against them, and ultimately win the battle.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the gang viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Pikachu got pulled into [[Squishy]]'s dream by a {{p|Darkrai}}. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved form and could speak human language, while humans spoke like Pokémon. Freaked out by this, Pikachu fled and ran into Meowth, who had also been pulled into the dream. Pikachu and Meowth then encountered a talking Squishy. Suddenly a flaming ghost appeared, who attacked them. They eventually managed to escape from it and Squishy then revealed a glimpse of its true strength to Pikachu and Meowth. Pikachu and Meowth tried to help Squishy getting to its home so it could gain this strength. On their way they got attacked by the flaming ghost again and Pikachu decided to battle it. Pikachu's attacks, however, couldn't land, but he was soon aided by the group's Pokémon and together managed to defeat the creature. In the end, Pikachu, Meowth and Squishy were woken by Clemont's invention.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Pikachu partnered up with [[Miette]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}} in a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. Later, Pikachu was used in a Tag Battle along with Serena's Eevee, where he faced James's Inkay and Miette's Slurpuff. Pikachu scored a direct hit on Slurpuff with Quick Attack, who then quickly recovered and fired off an Energy Ball. Pikachu, however, got saved by Eevee's Swift and after dodging a Psybeam from Inkay, he hit the Revolving Pokémon with Iron Tail. Pikachu and Eevee were then forced to jump in order to avoid another Psybeam, but got trapped after landing in Slurpuff's {{m|Cotton Spore}}. Unable to escape, Pikachu and Eevee were vulnerable to Inkay's Psybeam and got hit hard. Pikachu then stepped in and got hit by Inkay's Tackle meant for Eevee. Later, while Eevee struggled to get up, Pikachu continued to battle using Electro Ball and then blocked Slurpuff's Energy Ball with Thunderbolt. After Eevee's Evolution into Sylveon, Sylveon managed to defeat both Inkay and Slurpuff with {{m|Fairy Wind}}, giving Ash and Serena the win.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon used in another three round battle against Sawyer, where he faced Sawyer's {{p|Honedge}}. Pikachu used Iron Tail to counter Honedge's Fury Cutter and then defeated it with a Thunderbolt.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Pikachu was very worried as Ash had left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone, and spent most of the episode trying to find Ash. Eventually, Team Rocket tried to catch Pikachu but when Pikachu tried to fend them off, they were actually underwhelmed by his power, implying that without Ash's friendship motivating him Pikachu was not able to perform as strong as usual. After Ash returned at the end of the episode, an overjoyed Pikachu was able to quickly send Team Rocket blasting off.

In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Bergmite}}. Bergmite was able to move at a high speed by skating on the icy battlefield, allowing it to dodge an incoming Electro Ball. After jumping in the air to avoid Bergmite, Pikachu was hit by its Icy Wind, numbing his legs, slowing him down. As a result, Bergmite was able to easily dodge his Quick Attack, but was then hit from behind by a Thunderbolt. Bergmite then used {{m|Sharpen}}, encasing it in a diamond-shaped block of ice. It then rushed forwards using Rapid Spin, hurling Pikachu into an ice stalactite. Ash then had Pikachu run around to get rid of the numbness in his legs. Now having regained his Speed, Pikachu was able to knock Bergmite over with Quick Attack and hit it with Iron Tail, breaking through the block of ice and defeating it. Next, Pikachu faced Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. He immediately scored a hit with Thunderbolt, but Avalugg withstood the attack and retaliated with an extra powerful {{m|Avalanche}}. Avalugg then went after Pikachu using {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Pikachu created a hole in the battlefield with Iron Tail, causing Avalugg to get caught in it, stopping its movements. Avalugg, however, was able to use Stone Edge while spinning and despite Pikachu's attempt to destroy the rocks with Thunderbolt, he was hit hard and got knocked out.

Pikachu was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', where Ash chose him as his third Pokémon in his battle against Sawyer. He was sent out against Sawyer's powerful {{p|Clawitzer}}. Pikachu used the forest battle field to his advantage by climbing into the trees and jump from branch to branch in order to confuse Clawitzer. Despite this, Clawitzer was still able to dodge his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack by launching itself in the air. After dodging an Ice Beam, Pikachu launched an Electro Ball which collided with Clawitzer's Dragon Pulse. Clawitzer then chased after him with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but Pikachu was able lose it in the forest, allowing him to attack with a surprise Iron Tail. Clawitzer, however, reacted in time and was able to grab Pikachu's tail with its pincer and prepared to launch a {{m|Water Pulse}}. Ash then had Pikachu use Electro Ball to break free from Clawitzer's grip and finish the Howitzer Pokémon off with Thunderbolt. Pikachu then faced Sawyer's next Pokémon, his {{p|Aegislash}}. Pikachu tried to use the forest again, but Aegislash prevented him from doing so by chopping down the trees using {{m|Sacred Sword}}. [[XY128|Continuing their battle]], Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, but Aegislash protected itself from the attack with {{m|King's Shield}}, which also lowered Pikachu's Attack. He was then unable to keep up with Aegislash's fast moves and was hit twice by powerful Sacred Sword attacks. Pikachu then tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but Aegislash once again used King's Shield to protect itself. Ash then noticed that Aegislash had to attach itself to its shield in order to use King's Shield. Using this knowledge, he had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, which caused the chopped down logs to fly up in the air. Pikachu then used its great speed to jump on the logs, confusing Aegislash and avoiding its attacks. As Aegislash tried going for King's Shield again, Pikachu knocked one of the wooden chunks between Aegislash's shield, making it unable to defend itself properly. With his opponent left vulnerable, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to defeat Aegislash. As Sawyer had lost three of his Pokémon the battlefield was changed and Ash decided to recall Pikachu. He was later used again to face [[Sawyer's Sceptile]]. Pikachu started off with a Quick Attack, but Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, throwing him in the air. He, however, was able to break through the leaves and strike Sceptile with Thunderbolt. After a clash between Iron Tail and {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Pikachu was unable to dodge Sceptile's {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and was knocked out.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]. He went up against Alain's {{p|Tyranitar}}, who summoned a {{weather|sandstorm}} upon entering the battlefield due to its {{a|Sand Stream}} Ability which deteriorated Pikachu's sight. Despite this, Pikachu was able to avoid a Dark Pulse. Ash then had Pikachu slam its tail into the field's water stream with Iron Tail to splash the water in the air which cancelled out the sandstorm as well as wetted Tyranitar. This allowed Pikachu to strike Tyranitar with Thunderbolt, dealing major damage due to Tyranitar's wet body. Pikachu then went for Electro Ball, but Tyranitar blocked the attack with Stone Edge and then proceeded to slam the stone pillars with its tail to send multiple stone shards flying at Pikachu. Pikachu, however, deflected all of the shards with Iron Tail and then used the attack once again to counter Tyranitar's Crunch. Tyranitar, however, threw Pikachu in the air, but he was able to launch an Electro Ball in mid-air which defeated Tyranitar. Pikachu was then recalled. He was later used again to face Alain's Metagross. Pikachu started off with Thunderbolt, but Metagross used Agility to dodge the attack and corner Pikachu. Due to this, Pikachu was hit hard by powerful Metal Claw, {{m|Rock Slide}} and Meteor Mash attacks. As Metagross charged another Meteor Mash to finish him off, Pikachu was able to obstruct it with Electro Ball, allowing him to jump on top Metagross. Now he was able to continuously use Thunderbolt, dealing serious damage to the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross was eventually able to shake Pikachu off, throwing him in the air, but Pikachu headed downwards and dealt a decisive hit with Iron Tail, knocking Metagross out. Pikachu then faced Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. Pikachu managed to hit Charizard with a speedy Quick Attack, followed up by a super effective Thunderbolt. The battle continued in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', where Pikachu once again hit Charizard with Thunderbolt. Afterwards Ash ordered him to use Quick Attack, but he was too exhausted to use the attack and ended up getting hit by Charizard's Flamethrower. When Charizard repeated its attack, Pikachu used Iron Tail on the ground to create a shield of dirt to block it. He then used Iron Tail again to intercept Charizard's Dragon Claw, but was overpowered and got knocked out.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', he and Ash went with Alain to go look for [[Mairin]], but once they found her they were obstructed by the giant roots. They were then ambushed by [[Celosia]] before her {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}} hit them and knocked Ash unconscious. Pikachu attempted to protect his Trainer but eventually fell to the Confuse Ray's effects as well and passed out. Pikachu, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was then taken captive by [[Lysandre]] on the top of Prism Tower. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. Alain's Charizard broke him and the other Pokémon free with Dragon Claw, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and Shiny Mega Gyarados together. During the battle, Pikachu and Goodra combined their Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse to defend against {{p|Pyroar}} and Gyarados's {{m|Incinerate}}. After {{AP|Hawlucha}} was able to hit Pyroar with a super-effective {{m|Karate Chop}}, Pikachu manages to defeat the Royal Pokémon with Thunderbolt. [[XY134|Continuing the battle]], Pikachu and Noivern fired off their Thunderbolt and {{m|Boomburst}} which were countered by Gyarados's Hyper Beam. Pikachu was then targeted by a Dragon Tail, but Noivern pushed him aside, taking the attack in his place which knocked Noivern out. In the end, Pikachu, Greninja and Charizard were the only ones left facing Lysandre's Gyarados, although now aided by [[Malva]]'s Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', where Pikachu hit Gyarados with Quick Attack after avoiding its Hyper Beam and then finished it off with a Thunderbolt.

Pikachu later helped Serena's Braixen, [[Steven's Metagross]] and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. He, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the creature's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Gym Leaders of Kalos and Diantha. After strategizing, in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Pikachu, Greninja and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against Serena and her Braixen. At first, Pikachu had the upper hand as he was able to hit Braixen with a speedy Quick Attack and break through her defenses with Iron Tail before hitting her with a second one. After dodging a Flamethrower, he clashed with Braixen's Scratch using his Iron Tail, knocking both Pokémon back. Braixen was then able to use Fire Blast, successfully hitting Pikachu. The battle was then called off by Ash.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Pikachu had to say goodbye to Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and their Pokémon, since he and Ash would soon return to Kanto. While everyone said their goodbyes, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} ran off since he didn't want the group to split apart. Using his electricity, Pikachu and the group were able to find Dedenne and calm it down. After Serena had departed, Pikachu participated in one final battle between Ash and Clemont, in which he faced Clemont's Bunnelby, just like in their first batttle. During the battle, both Pokémon's moves proved to be equal in power, but the end result of the battle was left unknown. Ash and Pikachu then separated from Clemont and Bonnie, and finally arrived in Pallet Town.

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
Pikachu joined Ash, Delia and Mimey on a vacation to the [[Alola]] region in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. On their way to the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], Pikachu and Ash followed a wild {{p|Grubbin}} into a forest, where the two noticed {{an|Kiawe|a Trainer}} riding a {{p|Charizard}}. They followed him and arrived at the Pokémon School, where they met some of the school's students as well as {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Oak's cousin, [[Samson Oak]]. Ash later used Pikachu to battle a trio of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who were harassing Kiawe, and their trio of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Salandit}}, and {{p|Yungoos}}. Pikachu was able to dodge their Salandit's attacks with ease and seriously damage them with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Kiawe then had his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} which knocked [[Team Skull]]'s Pokémon out in one shot. That evening, Pikachu and Ash followed {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele Island, who handed Ash a [[Z-Ring]] and an [[Electrium Z]]. Pikachu remained in Alola with Ash, when he decided to study at the Pokémon School.

In [[SM002|the next episode]], Ash's classmates had a surprise welcome party for him, where he and Pikachu participated in several challenges. During their lunch break, Tapu Koko appeared again and stole Ash's hat, prompting Ash and his classmates to follow it. Arriving in a forest, Tapu Koko challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. Pikachu was overwhelmed by Tapu Koko's fast moves and despite Electric Terrain being created by Tapu Koko's Ability {{a|Electric Surge}}, Pikachu's Thunderbolt didn't faze it. Tapu Koko then tapped Ash's Z-Ring, activating it and allowing Pikachu to perform {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}, which destroyed a large part of the area but also caused Ash's Electrium Z to shatter. Afterwards, Tapu Koko flew off again.

In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside {{AP|Rowlet}}, he first fought a Yungoos and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Pikachu and Rowlet's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using Rowlet's {{m|Leafage}}, allowing Pikachu to knock Gumshoos out with Iron Tail, while Rowlet defeated Yungoos. Afterwards, Pikachu and Rowlet had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. This Gumshoos proved to be extremely powerful, being able to endure Pikachu's Thunderbolt and knock him to the ground, after which it defeated Rowlet. After his Electro Ball got redirected by Sand Attack, Pikachu was hit hard once again. Pikachu then used Gumshoos's Sand Attack against it by hiding in the sand while using Quick Attack, allowing him confuse and repeatedly attack Gumshoos before finishing it off with a Thunderbolt. This win earned Ash a [[Normalium Z]].

Pikachu was used as Ash's final Pokémon in his battle against [[Hala]] during the Melemele Island grand trial in ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]''. He faced Hala's {{p|Hariyama}}, who was able to block his attacks using its big hands and hit him afterwards. While repeatedly getting hit by Hariyama's {{m|Arm Thrust}}, Pikachu eventually managed to slip past Hariyama and strike it with Thunderbolt. Hariyama, however, was not fazed by this attack and proceeded to use {{m|Belly Drum}}, maximizing its Attack but also halving its health. Pikachu then used Quick Attack in an attempt to dodge Hariyama's Z-Move {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}, but was ultimately hit by the attack. After getting up, Pikachu circled around Hariyama using Quick Attack and managed to knock it off its feet using Iron Tail. Ash used this opportunity to have Pikachu perform {{m|Breakneck Blitz}}, which sent Hariyama flying and knocked it out. Having cleared the Melemele Island grand trial, Ash was rewarded a new Electrium Z.

In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Ash and Pikachu trained for a rematch against Tapu Koko. The next day, the two were greeted by Tapu Koko again and were challenged to another battle. Unlike their last battle, Pikachu managed get a few hits on the guardian deity, but was eventually struck by its powerful attacks. Ash and Pikachu showed their improvements by performing Gigavolt Havoc, which was this time powerful enough to sent Tapu Koko flying. A clash between Pikachu and Tapu Koko, however, blasted the former off a cliff, prompting Ash to jump after him. The two were saved in time by Tapu Koko, who flew off afterwards.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Professor Kukui tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else. As a result, Pikachu was given to {{an|Lillie}}, whilst [[Snowy]] went to Ash. Because of her fear of Pokémon, Lillie decided to have a battle with [[Hobbes]] and his {{p|Oricorio}} to help conquer her fear where despite her lack of battle experience, Lillie was able to defeat Oricorio and was able to touch Pikachu. Ash then proposed a battle against Lillie and Pikachu, to show them how strong he and Snowy had gotten together.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty in which he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. The two started with a collision of Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then rushed towards Gyarados and scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, sending Gyarados flying. Pikachu then started charging up Electro Ball as Gyarados used {{m|Rain Dance}}, confusing everyone. Ash told Pikachu to ignore the rain and attack. Gyarados, however, countered with a Rain Dance powered Hurricane, which destroyed the Electro Ball and sent Pikachu flying. Deciding it was time to get serious, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Gyarados into Mega Gyarados. Gyarados launched a Hydro Pump that destroyed the rock Pikachu was standing on and sent him flying into the water. Not letting up, Gyarados tried to attack Pikachu with Crunch, but was struck by Iron Tail after Pikachu managed to climb onto its body. Gyarados then dove underwater and used Hurricane, creating a cyclone of water around Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break it, but failed. Ash soon came up with the idea to have Pikachu run on Thunderbolt's electricity with Quick Attack, allowing Pikachu to escape from the cyclone. The two then preformed their Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc, which hit Gyarados head on, defeating it and giving Ash the win.

During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}. Eventually, Pikachu and Ash prepared to perform Gigavolt Havoc, until Ash's Electrium Z mysteriously turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]]. This allowed the two to perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for the first time; the Z-Move defeated Nihilego, weakening it enough for Lillie and {{an|Gladion}} to pull Lusamine free from its hold.

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Mimikyu's barrage of attacks, eventually leaving him open for Mimikyu's Z-Move, {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. However, Pikachu was able to survive the attack by protecting itself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. Using his new move, Pikachu was also able to trap Mimikyu, which allowed him and Ash to perform a Z-Move of their own. Ash's Electrium Z then turned into a Pikashunium Z again, allowing Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once more and defeat Mimikyu. This allowed Ash to qualify for a chance to challenge [[Nanu]]'s grand trial.

In ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', Ash and Pikachu encountered Tapu Koko again and had another rematch against it. During a clash between Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Tapu Koko's {{m|Discharge}}, a {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Shiny Tapu Koko}} in another dimension unleashed its own attack, creating a rift which transported Ash and Pikachu to the [[Ultra Ruin]]. They soon encountered a wild {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Guzzlord}} which started chasing after the duo. However, they were saved in time by {{al|Dia}} and {{p|Zeraora}}. After learning about Guzzlord and the Ultra Ruin, Ash challenged Dia to a battle to prove his capability of helping Dia. Pikachu faced off against Zeraora, but found himself overwhelmed by Zeraora's fast moves and was quickly defeated.

[[SM101|Later]], at Dia's base, Pikachu and Ash began to do some training and managed to convince Dia and Zeraora to join them. Pikachu and Zeraora engaged in another battle, which attracted the attention of Guzzlord. After the [[Ultra Beast]]'s arrival, the group lured it to the [[Ultra Wormhole]] that it had emerged from in the past. After trapping Guzzlord with Electroweb, Pikachu, alongside Zeraora, attacked the immobilized Ultra Beast in an attempt to send it back through the Ultra Wormhole, but failed. However, thanks to the arrival of the Shiny Tapu Koko, Ash and Dia were able to activate their Z-Rings and had Pikachu and Zeraora perform a double Gigavolt Havoc to successfully push Guzzlord into the wormhole. Afterwards, Pikachu and Zeraora had one more battle in order to create another dimensional rift which took Pikachu and Ash back home.

In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his [[Poni Island]] grand trial against [[Hapu]], where he went up against her {{p|Mudsdale}}. Due to the type disadvantage and Mudsdale's {{a|Stamina}} Ability, Pikachu initially struggled to inflict damage on his opponent. After Pikachu endured a hit from Mudsdale's {{m|Tectonic Rage}}, the battle turned to Pikachu's favor when one of the battlefield's pillars crashed into the ocean. This splashed Musdale with seawater, which induced the effects of {{m|Soak}} and allowed Pikachu to knock the Draft Horse Pokémon out with Gigavolt Havoc. Afterwards, Hapu offered Ash a choice of type-specific Z-Crystals; Pikachu opted for a [[Steelium Z]], which Hapu awarded to Ash for his victory.

In [[SM115]], Pikachu battled [[Team Skull]]'s leader [[Guzma]] and his {{p|Golisopod}}. The match ended prematurely when Golisopod returned to its [[Poké Ball]] due to its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]].

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' and ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
It was revealed that Pikachu also loves drinking orange juice, most likely because of its sourness in ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]''.

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Pikachu was shown to have a distaste towards [[Poni Island]] {{wp|daikon}}. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to destroy a female companion's bike or shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships. Though rare, the two can still butt heads at times. When they first met, Pikachu would shock Ash with electricity out of vitriol. While being zapped by Pikachu still happens regularly for poor Ash, it's usually when he angers his buddy (such as when Ash rubs and pulls Pikachu's cheeks), or by accident (when Ash grabs Pikachu's tail by mistake).

[[File:ZappedAgain.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu does not like having his cheeks rubbed]]
In general, Pikachu as a species is not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Metagross}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second of Ash's Pokémon to defeat a legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating [[Brandon's legendary titans#Regice|Brandon's Regice]] to win the Brave Symbol. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s Latios to a draw in [[DP189|the semi-finals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but it smacked the stone away with his tail, choosing to become stronger as it is, and defeated Raichu using its superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] a Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were evenly matched, until Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve, and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed and spinning techniques learned from {{an|Dawn}}. In the interim, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also liked Pikachu to stay as he is.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles, where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having a type advantage with Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, Panpour, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior. In addition, Pikachu tends to struggle when his mobility is hindered, such as when the aforementioned Panpour weakened Volt Tackle with {{m|Mud Sport}}, or when his legs were numbed by [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Bergmite}} and its {{m|Icy Wind}}, preventing him from using Quick Attack.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}. It was able to beat {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu and Dawn Piplup.png|thumb|left|250px|Pikachu walking along Dawn's Piplup]]
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Pikachu is always becoming a constant target whenever he gets captured by Team Rocket. Sometimes, they succeed with nets, cages, capsules or different devices, but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket blasting off with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of time in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into Volt Tackle which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves, in which Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball, which it learned while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

===Pikachu's imitations===
Pikachu has demonstrated a great talent for mimicking Pokémon, altering the look of his physical features to match another Pokémon's appearance. He will occasionally use this talent to specify what Pokémon or person he is talking about. These imitation skills were notably put to use during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], where Pikachu was able to thrill the audience without the need for a costume or make-up.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," but this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in [[SS028]].
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from [[Professor Oak]] after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at [[Mt. Silver]], and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

====Pikachu in a cap====

{{bulbanews/3|Cap Pikachu, Pikashunium Z to be available in Japan|I Choose You Cap Pikachu to appear in Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon|Ash hat Pikachu distribution announced for American, PAL region games}}
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and were distributed in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.

In Japan, the Pikachu were distributed via single-use [[serial code]] to those who pre-ordered tickets to the 20th movie, with one code per ticket. The Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeemed the code. The codes only worked on Japanese region games. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

In American, PAL, and Taiwanese region games, the Pikachu were distributed through a single-use public serial code released via the Pokémon website and in a similar vein to the Japanese event—the Pikachu received depended on the date the player redeems the code. The first time the player uses one of these serial codes, they also received a complimentary Pikashunium Z.

A seventh Cap Pikachu, wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attend screenings of the 20th movie.

The [[Trainer ID number]] is based on the original air date of [[SM001|the first episode in the ''Sun & Moon'' series]], November 17, 2016, whereas the Western number is based on the air date of the episode in the United States, December 5, 2016.

Due to an error, PAL region copies of Pokémon Moon set to Spanish could receive this gift early in place of the Unova Cap Pikachu. It was fixed after 11 hours on October 10, 2017, but the erroneous gift could still be received due to a caching issue until October 12, 2017.

==Trivia==
[[File:Surfing Pikachu BW087.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu {{DL|Pikachu variants|Surfing Pikachu|surfing}}]]
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]
* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[Legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary titans|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[Legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (where he used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (Pikachu was shown when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as being "those guys" when touched by their loyalty.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every Gym battle in [[Johto|a region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon capable of evolving by use of an evolutionary stone, not counting {{AP|Snorunt}} who could not evolve through use of an evolution stone at the time of its capture and normal evolution.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the anime to defeat a Mega Evolved Pokémon without Mega Evolving, defeating [[Korrina]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.
* As Pikachu hates being in his [[Poké Ball]], it is rarely ever seen, with a known total of only six confirmed appearances throughout the whole series (flashbacks not included). These being in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.

'''Bonnie''' (Japanese: '''ユリーカ''' ''Eureka'') is an aspiring young [[Pokémon Trainer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She made her debut appearance in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' along with her older brother, {{an|Clemont}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Before traveling with Ash====
Bonnie was first seen with her brother Clemont in [[Lumiose City]]. Both were standing outside the Prism Tower when they watched Ash go inside to challenge the Lumiose Gym. When Ash was ejected out of the building, Clemont saved Ash with his Clemontic Gear while Bonnie saved [[Ash's Pikachu]] by catching him before he hit the ground. Thinking that he was cute, Bonnie hugged Pikachu, who shocked her in retaliation. Bonnie quickly apologized and explained that she is too young to have her own Pokémon and therefore always becomes excited when she meets one. Though she cannot own a Pokémon, she participates in other activities when she can. When Clemont and Ash had a {{pkmn|battle}} against each other, she refereed the match for them. She later led them to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab when {{AP|Froakie}} was injured by {{TRT}}.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Bonnie met Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} and played with the professor's other Pokémon, before Team Rocket infiltrated the lab. Bonnie tagged along with Ash and Clemont to help free the enraged Garchomp from the machine controlling her, and Bonnie watched her brother use one of his inventions to break in to the Prism Tower.

====As Ash's traveling companion====
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Bonnie and Clemont officially decided to accompany Ash on his journey through [[Kalos]]. Later in the episode, the group encountered a wild {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Bonnie asked Clemont to allow her to keep Dedenne, and Ash agreed, Bonnie tried to offer a berry to Dedenne, but a wild {{p|Fletchling}} stole the berry, scaring off Dedenne in the process. She later watched with her brother as Ash caught the {{AP|Fletchling}}. After it was caught, Bonnie scolded Fletchling for stealing Dedenne's food but quickly forgave the Pokémon. Dedenne was later seen following Bonnie and the others.

[[File:Bonnie and Clemont.png|thumb|left|250px|Bonnie and Clemont]]
Then, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Bonnie met the Dedenne from the previous episode when he stole the food she was trying to feed to Pikachu and Fletchling. She begged Clemont to capture him for her, but Dedenne forced the group to chase him in several holes in the ground, which caused Dedenne and Pikachu to get lost together. Eventually, Pikachu and Dedenne returned, but a previous encounter with Team Rocket left Dedenne exhausted to the point of fainting, much to Bonnie's horror. After Dedenne was rejuvenated by one of Clemont's inventions, he bonded with Clemont and helped defeat Team Rocket. Afterward, Dedenne allowed Clemont to capture him so that Bonnie could keep him in her satchel.

In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Bonnie discovered [[Squishy|a strange, green Pokémon]] (unbeknownst to her or her friends, a {{p|Zygarde}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Zygarde|Core]]) resting in her satchel. The Pokémon panicked upon seeing Bonnie and attempted to escape, to no avail. Although baffled as to what it was, as Ash and {{an|Serena}}'s attempts to scan it with their [[Pokédex]]es had proven futile, Bonnie [[nickname]]d it '''Squishy''' (Japanese: '''プニちゃん''' ''Puni-chan'') in the absence of a species name, dead set on looking after it. Unfortunately, Squishy was quickly lost because of a {{p|Dodrio}} stampede caused by [[Sawyer]]'s {{TP|Sawyer|Grovyle}}. Although they quickly caught up to it, it had been captured by a group of [[Team Flare]] {{tc|Team Flare Grunt|Grunts}} led by [[Celosia]]. Ash and Sawyer were able to rescue Squishy from Team Flare, Bonnie catching it after it was dropped by Celosia's {{p|Drapion}}.

Later, Bonnie was unable to get Squishy to eat, not understanding why until it crawled over to a rock to rest and absorb sunlight. Afterwards, when it saw [[Terminus Cave]] on Serena's [[Town Map]], it attacked the device, apparently thinking it was a portal to the cave; as a result, the group decided that was their next destination. That night, Squishy, detecting that Celosia was still searching for it, woke the group. The group once again defended it, Serena and Clemont falling back to escape with Bonnie and Squishy as Ash and Sawyer covered their escape. However, Bonnie lost her balance and fell while crossing a river; although she didn't seem hurt, she had lost Squishy again. By the time she reunited with Squishy, it was exhausted from having defended itself against another group of Team Flare Grunts led by [[Bryony]], but it absorbed light to recover, much to Bonnie's relief.

During ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Bonnie brought Squishy back to Terminus Cave, where it started meditating in the water. When Team Flare attacked, Bonnie nearly got hit by {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}} but was saved by Ash. Greninja eventually recovered Squishy and gave it to Bonnie, but Squishy ultimately decided to battle Team Flare itself. In doing so, Bonnie and her friends learned that Squishy had the ability to access stronger formes. In this act of bravery, however, Squishy got separated from the rest of Ash's group, which left Bonnie very worried.

During the events of ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Bonnie wanted to go look for Squishy even though Clemont explicitly forbade her from doing so, out of concern that she would get hurt. When the group eventually got chased by a group of wild {{p|Toxicroak}} as a result of Bonnie's recklessness, {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} got hurt saving her from a nasty fall. Bunnelby was admitted to a [[Pokémon Center]], which left Bonnie feeling very guilty about it, and she promptly went to look for the herbs necessary to cure him. By the end of the episode Bunnelby had recovered. Squishy had overseen Bonnie's efforts, and as a result returned to the group once more, as it believed humans and Pokémon could live together thanks to Bonnie.

During [[XY106|the]] [[XY116|following]] [[XY119|episodes]], Bonnie would often be able to tell whenever Squishy was worried, and would sing a song to calm it. During ''[[XY114|A Keeper for Keeps?]]'', Bonnie's attempts to get Clemont a wife actually got a girl interested in him, to her own surprise. She was very displeased as she feared this meant Clemont would stop caring for her. She made several attepts to break them up, all of which backfired. At the end of the episode, however, Clemont revealed that he intended to continue looking after Bonnie. Having learned nothing from the whole ordeal, Bonnie immediately resumed her attempts to get Clemont a wife.

During the events of ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', she was the one who told Diantha about Ash and Greninja's unique transformation. [[XY120|Later on]], she would be the one to dub the forme "Ash-Greninja".

[[XY131|After watching Ash at the Lumiose Conference]], Bonnie was shocked when Squishy fled after the stadium was attacked by weird vines. In [[XY132|the following episode]], despite the protests of [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]], she went after Squishy along with Clemont and Serena. After she finally sense exactly where Squishy was, she was amazed when it transformed into a Zygarde to confront the one under Team Flare's control. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', She watched as Squishy and [[Z2]] were battling each other throughout Lumiose City, until the former was subdued by the latter. She sensed Squishy's pain and fell to her knees and after she stood back up, she was rescued by Blaziken Mask's Mega Blaziken when one of the giant roots almost attacked her. Despite Blaziken Mask's attempt to comfort her, she couldn't help but to scream out as she kept feeling Squishy's pain.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Bonnie kept trying to reach out to Squishy, who in return attacked her with vines. After Blaziken Mask took a hit for her, a desperate Bonnie began to tear up and, with no other options left, began singing Squishy's song. This managed to snap Squishy out of its mind control, and Bonnie was overjoyed when Squishy came to her side. Soon after, however, Squishy left after it sensed Z2 being freed from Team Flare's control. In [[XY135|the following episode]], Bonnie followed Squishy who searched for Z2. Z2 initially was very skeptical and hostile with Squishy and Bonnie, but Bonnie reached out to Z2 and it allowed Bonnie to carry it. After that, Bonnie along with Squishy, Z2, and Blaziken Mask were brought along in the helicopter with Ash, [[Alain]], Clemont, and [[Malva]], who's chasing after the [[Giant Rock]].

For most of the fight with the Giant Rock, Bonnie stayed with Squishy and Z2 at the side lines watching the event with [[Mairin]] and Serena who was tasked to protect the two young girls. In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after a devastating attack from the Giant Rock, Bonnie and Clemont finally discovered the true identity of Blaziken Mask as their father, whose mask fell off during the attack. When Squishy and Z2 both left her to stop the Giant Rock for good, Bonnie tried to chase them but she was stopped by Meyer. Soon after, Squishy and Z2 joined hands and transformed into Zygarde's Perfect Forme, and Bonnie was shown to be very excited, cheering the [[Legendary Pokémon]] stopping [[Lysandre]], destroying the Giant Rock, and restoring Kalos's environment back to normal. However, after reverting into the cores, both Squishy and Z2 had to leave her, as they were slightly exhausted from the battle and requires some rest. Before leaving, Squishy expressed its deep gratitude towards Bonnie for protecting it all this time and showing it that humans and Pokémon may have hope and determination to never give up. As Squishy and Z2 fades away, Bonnie tearfully proclaimed her love to the Legendary Pokémon once again.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Bonnie helped Ash, Serena, and her father clean up the gym to prepare for the gym's reopening. At Professor Sycamore's lab, she and the others helped Mairin prepare for the welcome party for Alain. Bonnie made a decoration of Squishy and said that she missed him, wondering what he was up to ever since the Team Flare incident ended. Ash reassured that Squishy was doing fine, and Bonnie agreed. The next day, she watched the Gym battle between [[Alvin]] and Clembot, which ended with Alvin being the victor. After the Gym battle, Professor Sycamore gave medals to Bonnie and Dedenne, as well as Ash, Serena, Clemont, Mairin, Alain, and all of their Pokémon, for all of their heroic efforts against Team Flare. The group then posed for a photo. At night, she watched the fireworks and Prism Tower lighting up with Ash, Serena, and Clemont.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Bonnie went after Xerosic along with Ash, Serena, and Ash's Greninja to rescue her brother Clemont from Xerosic, but when they got there, Clemont was being put under control by Xerosic. After Xerosic was arrested by Officer Jenny, Bonnie reunited with Squishy and Zygarde, who told the gang that Zygarde needed Greninja's powers as Ash-Greninja. After when Greninja left with Squishy and Zygarde, Bonnie made a promise to Squishy that once she becomes a trainer, she will go on another adventure with Squishy in the future.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during Ash's video call to {{Delia|his mother}} and {{an|Professor Oak}}, Delia tells Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena they are free to stop by Pallet Town sometime for a visit. After the video call, Bonnie realizes that their Kalos journey is definitely coming to a close for sure. Bonnie was upset, in which she barely ate anything and claimed she had too many sweets earlier. Clemont reminded her not to do so before meals. Later, Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin stop by to bid them a final farewell before the gang heads to the airport. After Professor Sycamore, Alain, and Mairin left, Ash and the others head to the airport, which caused Bonnie to be sad again.

When the gang arrived at the airport, the Pokémon started bidding many farewells among each other. However, Dedenne was unable to bear the goodbyes and runs off around the airport. After Bonnie found Dedenne, she tells him that they need to say their goodbyes. She explains to Dedenne that Ash and Serena need to go on and pursue their dreams, the same as she wants to become a Trainer someday with her partner Dedenne. She told him that she will hopefully defeat Serena and Ash in a Pokémon Showcase and Pokémon Battle respectively, and have a gym battle against her brother Clemont. Dedenne jumps back into Bonnie's arms, although still upset, but understands what Bonnie is saying and begins to cheer up along with her.

After Serena's flight left for Hoenn, Clemont and Ash have one final battle before Ash's flight leaves for Kanto, just like how their Kalos adventure all started. Bonnie watches the battle between Clemont's Bunnelby and Ash's Pikachu. After the battle during the sunset, she and Clemont watch as Ash's flight leaves Kalos for Kanto. Later, Bonnie and Clemont return to Prism Tower while she recalls all the amazing Pokémon she has met and befriended throughout her journey with Clemont, Ash, and Serena, such as having a {{p|Flabébé}} in Bonnie's ponytail in ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]'', meeting a {{p|Lapras}} and taking care of it along with The Lapras Defense Crew ([[Jay]], [[Heidi]], and [[Kye]]) in ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'', looking after and having fun with a {{p|Tyrunt}} from the fossil research lab in ''[[XY086|The Tiny Caretaker!]]'', and finally [[Squishy]]. She also recalls playing Ninja along with Dedenne and Pikachu, proposing to [[Lilia]] to be a keeper for her brother Clemont, and finally promising Squishy that she will go on a brand new adventure with him as soon as she becomes a Trainer someday.

====Other appearances====
In [[SS037]], Clemont attended a [[fishing]] competition and brought Bonnie along with him. A short while later, they met {{an|Cilan}}, a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Cilan told Bonnie and Clemont that he wanted to visit Prism Tower, so she and her brother accompanied him there. When they decided to take the subway to get there, Bonnie however, ended up boarding the train all by herself and she did not realize that the train she boarded had a problem. Cilan and Clemont both managed to rescue Bonnie from the runaway malfunctioned train. However, just before the two reached the train, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Eelektross}} got the train to move again with Bonnie still on board. After she got rescued before the train crashed, they took Cilan to check out Prism Tower before he splits up with Bonnie and Clemont.

Bonnie made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' alongside Clemont.

===Character===
[[File:Bonnie Proposal.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie trying to find a wife for her brother]]
Bonnie is a young and cheerful girl who is always excited to meet new Pokémon. At times, she gets too invasive with Pokémon, similar to {{an|Iris}}, [[Burgundy]] and {{an|Bianca}}, causing them to attack her. She is very proud of her brother's accomplishments as an inventor, but sometimes criticizes him if his inventions do not work. For reasons currently unknown, she tries to find a wife for Clemont, first seen when she asks [[Viola]] and {{OBP|Jessica|XY008}} if they could marry her brother. This causes him to get embarrassed and remove her with his {{p|Aipom}} arm.

Bonnie seems to see Serena as a big sister, and they actively take part in several activities together, like baking [[Poké Puff]]s, or clothes shopping. They also sleep together and play games as well. In fact, the majority of the time, if she isn't clinging on to Clemont, she's attached herself to Serena. On the rare occasion she's scared or troubled, if Clemont isn't nearby, Bonnie will hug Serena for comfort. She is also one of the few characters aware that Serena has [[AmourShipping|a crush]] on Ash.

Bonnie doesn't interact with Ash as often as she does with Serena or her brother, but it is evident that she looks upon him favorably, and respects him. She almost always supports Ash in battle, the only exception being when he battles her brother. Ash in turn cares for Bonnie like a little sister, and does his best to help protect her, though he is quite lenient about it compared to Clemont. Being relatively immature himself, Ash is usually the first to support Bonnie's pleas for fun activities, even when Clemont is reluctant. She also views Ash as being quite dense, being unable to see the obvious affection Serena has for him.

Bonnie dislikes feeling left out. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', she got upset because she was too small to glide in a wing suit and in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', where she naively asks Ash's [[Evolution|newly evolved]] {{AP|Frogadier}} to change back into {{p|Froakie}} so she could see his evolution, in which Clemont replied that her request was obviously impossible. Though she cannot own her own Pokémon, she participates in things that she can still do, such as refereeing unofficial matches. She also asks her brother permission to "keep" Pokémon that she one day wants to train, when she is old enough to be a Trainer. She enjoys taking care of her friend's Pokémon and particularly likes brushing their fur, similar to a {{pkmn|groomer}}. She always likes to be able to participate in the same activities the rest of the group are taking part in, and not being able to (such as in ''Battles in the Sky!'' when she was denied entry to the indoor sky diving facility), or otherwise being unable to get her own way, causes her to pout. These accomplishments may seem small but they are a way for Bonnie to occupy herself and continuously learn more about being a Trainer.

[[File:Bonnie Drawing.png|thumb|left|250px|Bonnie's drawing of the group's Pokémon]]
Bonnie is shown to be innocently ignorant of scary things, seeing them more as being 'interesting' or 'fun'. This is seen in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'' and ''[[XY072|Scary Hospitality!]]'', where, when facing supernatural phenomenon that scares her elder travelling companions, Bonnie is seen happily looking around for the source of it. That's not to say that Bonnie can't be scared. Though she has no problem watching Pokémon battles, Bonnie does not like bullying or one-sided violence, and is often seen burying her face in her brother's or Serena's clothes in such situations.

All in all, Bonnie is still a child. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she became tired easily and had to be put to bed early. In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', she began to cry after she lost track of Dedenne. Ash and Serena had to help calm her down and encouraged her not to give up. In ''[[XY045|Splitting Heirs!]]'', it was revealed that she dislikes carrots. In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', Bonnie drew a portrait of {{ashfr|the gang}}'s Pokémon during the [[Coumarine City]] Pledging Tree Festival.

Bonnie's love for Pokémon can be seen in her clothing and other gear, having a {{p|Tyrantrum}} pajamas, a {{p|Slowbro}} swimsuit, a {{p|Snubbull}} apron set and {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Slurpuff}} winter outfits. She also sleeps in a {{p|Shellder}} tent.

After healing, Lapras started to cry out for the sky. Clemont figured it wanted to return to its friends in the sea. Although the children were initially against the idea of letting Lapras return to its natural habitat, they decided that if they really loved it, they would help in returning it.

Moments later, {{TRT}} appeared, wanting to steal Lapras. While {{Ash}}, Clemont, and {{an|Serena}} fought them, the children ensured Lapras was guided safely to the sea. Although it got confused by [[James's Inkay]]'s {{m|Psybeam}}, Heidi made it remember the good times they had with it.

When Team Rocket let Bonnie fall from their balloon, Tyrunt evolved into Tyrantrum and saved Bonnie before sending Team Rocket blasting off again. Afterwards Bonnie asked Clemont to catch Tyrantrum, but he failed due to it already belonging to someone. It turned out that Tyrantrum was a restored [[fossil]] Pokémon from a nearby research center, and was returned to be with its kind there, but not before having one final good-bye with Bonnie.

==In the manga==

===In the movie adaptations===
Bonnie appeared in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}'' and ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''.
{{sectionstub}}


==Trivia==
* Bonnie is the youngest female protagonist.
* Bonnie serves as an antithesis to {{an|Brock}}'s {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}} as she is the one who requests any older female character that the group encounters to marry {{an|Clemont}} and is subsequently removed by him instead of the other way around.
** One noticeable difference is that Bonnie does not ask any [[Nurse Joy]]s or [[Officer Jenny]]s to marry Clemont; these are the most common targets of Brock's affection.
* Much like {{an|Iris}} at the beginning of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Bonnie (along with Ash and Clemont) was shocked by Pikachu when first meeting Ash. This follows the running gag in the anime, which involves Pikachu accidentally frying all of Ash's female traveling companions' [[bicycle]]s, or, if they do not have one, shocking the girls themselves; with Serena being the only exception.
* In the Japanese version, Bonnie refers to herself in the third person. This is also carried over to the dub in some occasions.

'''Ash's Goodra''' (Japanese: '''サトシのヌメルゴン''' ''Satoshi's Numelgon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-fifth overall.

==History==
Prior to its debut, Goodra was a Goomy that lived peacefully in its homeland, {{rt|14|Kalos|the wetlands}}, as the only Goomy that lived there. It often played with a {{an|Wooper}}, which it was close friends with. One day, while it was playing with Wooper, a large swarm of {{p|Ariados}}, {{p|Yanmega}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, and {{p|Seviper}} began to invade the homeland under the command of a {{an|Florges}}. Goomy, being exceptionally weak and fearful, ran around and panicked, and could do nothing to defend itself or the fellow inhabitants from the intruders except cry. It and Wooper were then confronted by Florges and was struck by a Moonblast, which sent Goomy flying and caused it to land on a fleeing {{p|Swanna}}. Due to this frightening and unusual experience, Goomy developed an immense fear of {{t|Bug}}-and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

Goodra first appeared as Goomy in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', where it dropped from the same Swanna onto {{Ash}}'s head. It looked weak and tired, so Ash and {{ashfr}} took it to a nearby river to heal him. After having water poured on it, Goomy quickly recovered its health. When {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} popped out of {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag to greet him, it hid behind Ash, as it is weak to Fairy-types. After traveling for a while, Goomy was frightened once more by a disturbed {{p|Ariados}} whose tree had been attacked by {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. Confused, {{an|Clemont}} decided to use one of his inventions to see why Goomy was so terrified of Bug-type Pokémon; this revealed Goomy's backstory.
[[File:Ash Goomy.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Goomy]]
When Goomy and {{AP|Pikachu}} were captured by {{TRT}}, Goomy watched as Pikachu tried to escape. The cage absorbed Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, so Pikachu rammed into the side of the cage until he made a hole big enough for them to squeeze out of. Goomy was able to slip through, but it was too tight for Pikachu. Seeing Pikachu's predicament, Goomy slipped back into the cage and used its slimy body to help Pikachu squeeze through.

While escaping Team Rocket, Goomy managed to slow [[James]] down with {{m|Rain Dance}}, giving Ash and his friends enough time to battle the trio. However, when {{AP|Fletchinder}} and Pikachu tried to fend off Team Rocket, they ended up getting {{status|Confusion|confused}} by {{TP|James|Inkay}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, making them attack each other. As Ash grabbed onto both of his Pokémon to try and calm them, Goomy began to admire the lengths Ash would go to in order to protect his Pokémon, motivating it to fight. After intercepting {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} and Inkay's combined {{m|Dark Pulse}} and Psybeam, it used Bide to absorb the hits and eventually defeat Team Rocket. Later, Goomy indicated to Pikachu that it wanted to go with Ash, allowing Ash to capture it in a [[Poké Ball]].

In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Goomy was sent out to meet the rest of the Pokémon. It was initially intimidated by the group, especially Dedenne; however, it warmed up to them as they were playing. When they were interrupted by Team Rocket's attempt to capture everyone's Pokémon, Goomy, Dedenne, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, {{an|Serena}}, and Bonnie were separated from the group. While Serena was battling Team Rocket, Goomy remembered what happened to its old home and fled. Team Rocket found Goomy and attempted to capture him, but they were stopped by Dedenne. Once Goomy saw how much Dedenne cared for him, it battled against Team Rocket long enough for Ash and the others to find them. After the battle, Goomy started affectionately nibbling on Dedenne's ear, no longer afraid of him.

[[File:Ash Sliggoo.png|thumb|250px|As a Sliggoo]]
In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Ash had Goomy watch his [[Coumarine Gym]] battle against [[Ramos]], in order to help it get stronger. [[XY061|Later on]], Goomy had a practice battle against Pikachu, but was interrupted by an injured {{p|Spoink}}. After Spoink recovered, they followed it to its home, where they found a {{p|Grumpig}} bullying all of the Spoink. Ash and the other tried to stop Grumpig, but it hypnotized the Spoink into attacking them and forced them into Team Rocket's trap. Goomy and Dedenne later sneaked out of the cage and attempted to get the key, but ended up getting caught by Grumpig. Dedenne battled Grumpig and lost, which encouraged Goomy to fight. Goomy used Bide to counter all of Grumpig's attacks, but couldn't do much without any offensive moves. Right when Goomy was about to be hit by {{m|Iron Tail}}, Ash jumped in the way and defended it from harm. Seeing how much Ash cared for it allowed Goomy to evolve into Sliggoo and learn Dragon Breath, and was easily able to defeat Grumpig and Team Rocket.

In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Ash showed Sliggoo to his [[rival]] {{an|Tierno}}. They agreed to have a [[Double Battle]], with Ash using Sliggoo and Pikachu against [[Tierno's Wartortle]] and {{p|Raichu}}. Before the battle could begin, Team Rocket appeared with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] and tried to capture Pikachu. Sliggoo was able to rescue Pikachu by using Dragon Breath on the machine, but Team Rocket managed to grab it, Wartortle, and Raichu. After Raichu attacked James and Wartortle attacked Jessie, Jessie used Pumpkaboo to attack the cage in retaliation with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, which caused it to fall down a cliff and shatter at the bottom, freeing the Pokémon.

When they encountered a rock in the way, Sliggoo tried to destroy it by ramming into it. Though it initially failed, together with Wartortle and Raichu, it was able to destroy the rock. Just before Pikachu was about to be captured by Team Rocket's mecha, Sliggoo rammed into the mecha, destroying it and rescuing Pikachu. A Shadow Ball launched by [[Jessie]]'s Pumpkaboo then accidentally hit the remains of the mecha. This started a fire, which surrounded Ash, Serena, and Pikachu. Sliggoo remembered how, when it was a Goomy, there was a group of Pokémon trapped in a similar situation. Bolstered by the memory, Sliggoo used Rain Dance to protect its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and put out the fire, and evolved into Goodra in the process. It then used its new move, Dragon Pulse, to send Team Rocket blasting off. Later on, it and Pikachu resumed the Double Battle against Tierno's Wartortle and Raichu. As Pikachu struggled against Wartortle, Goodra used Bide to counter Raichu's {{m|Charge Beam}} and {{m|Focus Blast}}, and hit Wartortle and Raichu after Pikachu used Iron Tail to block a countering {{m|Hydro Pump}}. After Goodra and Pikachu blocked another attack by Wartortle and Raichu, they defeated them with a Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse, winning Ash the battle.
[[File:Ash Goodra Hydration.png|thumb|left|250px|Hydration activated]]
In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash used Goodra as his second Pokémon in his [[Lumiose Gym]] battle against Clemont, first sending it out to face {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}. Eventually, Heliolisk used {{m|Thunder Wave}} to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Goodra, forcing Ash to recall him. He later sent out Goodra as his last Pokémon, and it went up against Clemont's last Pokémon, {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. At first, Goodra was at a disadvantage, since it was still paralyzed and Luxray had {{m|Electric Terrain}} active, making all of its {{type|Electric}} moves more powerful. However, upon remembering how Goomy had regained its energy when water was poured onto him, Ash had Goodra use Rain Dance, which both nullified Electric Terrain and activated Goodra's {{a|Hydration}} [[Ability]], curing it from its paralysis. Midway into the battle, Ash told Goodra to use Bide, forcing it to endure Luxray's attacks. Clemont intended to defeat Goodra before Bide was finished charging, but Luxray's attacks were incapable of dealing enough damage, and Goodra released the gathered energy at Luxray, defeating it and winning the Gym battle for Ash, thus earning him the {{badge|Voltage}}.

In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', Ash and his friends came across [[Keanan]], the caretaker of Goodra's homeland. Goodra became hesitant to return to its home, remembering how it was forced out. However, Wooper and many other residents encountered Goodra instead, allowing them to reunite. When the Pokémon noted that Florges and her army were attacking more Pokémon, Goodra decided to intervene, motivating the other Pokémon to fight back and draw Florges out, and in the process overcoming its fear. During the battle with Florges, Goodra was forced to defend its fellow Pokémon, using its body to shield them from her attacks, heavily damaging it in the process. As Florges was about to finish Goodra off with a {{m|Moonblast}}, Goodra managed to stand up at Ash's encouragement, learning {{m|Ice Beam}} in the process. Goodra's Ice Beam managed to overpower Florges's Moonblast, defeating her. Just then, Goodra was knocked out by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Psybeam}} surreptitiously fired by Jessie's Pumpkaboo and James's Inkay, forcing both sides to retreat and recuperate. While Goodra slept, Pikachu, Dedenne, and Wooper were abducted by an {{p|Ariados}} under the orders of Florges, who had been blackmailed by Team Rocket.
[[File:Ash and Goodra.png|thumb|250px|Goodra and Ash]]
In ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', the group pursued Pikachu, Dedenne, and Wooper despite Goodra's injuries. Eventully, only Ash, Bonnie, and Goodra reached Florges's hideout, where they found Florges holding a weak {{p|Floette}}. At that moment, Team Rocket betrayed Florges, draining the mystical water inside the cave and revealing Florges's true motives about saving Floette. After escaping, Goodra changed its opinion of Florges and joined forces with her to rescue Pikachu, Dedenne, and Wooper and send Team Rocket blasting off. Goodra then used Rain Dance, restoring the mystical water and saving Floette. With Floette nursed back to health, Florges and Goodra made a truce and Florges was forgiven for all of the trouble she caused. Ash then decided that Goodra should stay behind at its homeland when he saw Goodra happy with its friends. They had a tearful goodbye and promised to meet again someday.

After a long absence, Goodra made brief appearances in ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching the [[Gloire City]] Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] on [[television]] along with Keanan and the other wetland Pokémon. Goodra reappeared in ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', where it was happy to meet up with Ash and the group, who visited the wetlands again on their way to [[Lumiose City]]. In the process, Goodra also made acquaintance with [[Ash's Noivern]] and [[Squishy]]. Goodra later helped a group of {{p|Carbink}} search for one of their friends, who was somewhere in the wetlands playing pranks on the other wetland Pokémon. When the Carbink was finally found, Team Rocket appeared in a mecha with the other Carbink trapped in it. Goodra, however, had its friends use {{m|Water Gun}} to blast the Carbink through the arms of the mecha, freeing the others. After everyone was freed, Goodra managed to destroy the mecha and blast Team Rocket off. Afterwards, Goodra, the other Pokémon, Ash and his friends were seen relaxing and playing in the wetlands' spring, where Ash promised it to win the [[Kalos League]]. It was [[XY126|later]] revealed that Ash had also asked Goodra to return for the [[Lumiose Conference]] to which it had happily agreed. Subsequently, Goodra was driven to Lumiose City by Keanan and, for the first time among Ash's released Pokémon, rejoined his party to fill up the last spot of his Kalos team, in order to prepare for the upcoming [[Full Battle]] in the Lumiose Conference semi-finals.

Goodra was used as Ash's fifth Pokémon in the semi-finals in ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', where it faced [[Sawyer]]'s {{p|Slurpuff}}. After a collision between Goodra's Ice Beam and Slurpuff's {{m|Flamethrower}}, Goodra once again showed its great bulk by withstanding a super effective {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} and {{m|Fairy Wind}}, while charging its Bide. Slurpuff, however, used {{m|Cotton Guard}} to increase his {{stat|Defense}} and greatly reduce the damage from Goodra's Bide. Another collision between Ice Beam and Flamethower created a cloud of smoke. Unlike Goodra, Slurpuff was able to locate his opponent due to his great sense of smell and proceeded to hit Goodra with another Fairy Wind. Goodra was then engulfed by the flames of Slurpuff's Flamethrower, but it was able to endure the attack much to Sawyer's surprise. It then fired off another Bide which Slurpuff countered with Fairy Wind. The explosion caused by the collision of their attacks knocked both Pokémon out.

In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Goodra was used in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]], where it had to battle Alain's {{p|Bisharp}}. Goodra started the battle with Rain Dance and then launched an Ice Beam. Bisharp, however, dodged the attack and attacked with {{m|Iron Head}}, but Goodra used its antennae to stop Bisharp and throw it in the air. Goodra then launched a Dragon Pulse which collided with Bisharp's Focus Blast. Goodra was then hit in succession by Bisharp's Iron Head and Focus Blast attacks, but it was able to withstand the attacks and hit Bisharp with a powerful Bide. Despite this, Bisharp was still able to battle and managed to score another hit with Iron Head. As Goodra fell to its knees, Ash had it use one last Dragon Pulse, but Bisharp used {{m|Guillotine}} to cut through the attack and defeat the Dragon Pokémon.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'' Goodra, along with Ash and Ash's other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]]. It could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Goodra and the other Pokémon free with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and his {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} together. During the battle, Goodra and Pikachu combined their Dragon Pulse and Thunderbolt to defend against {{p|Pyroar}} and Gyarados's {{m|Incinerate}}. Goodra continued battling Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', where it managed to hit it with Dragon Pulse. Gyarados, however, retaliated with {{m|Hyper Beam}} which defeated it. In ''[[XY137|Battling with a Clean Slate!]]'', Goodra and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from [[Professor Sycamore]] for their heroic efforts against Team Flare. Goodra finally returned to the wetlands in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', where it had a tearful goodbye with its Trainer and Dedenne.

It appeared again in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', where it settled a dispute between a Wooper and a Lotad.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Goodra Clemont Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Goodra and Dedenne]]
As a Goomy, it was a very friendly Pokémon, as it liked to show its affection to others by nibbling on their ears. Even after it had become a Goodra, it maintained its affection, hugging Ash shortly after evolving. It had also proven to be a capable fighter, but was initially scared until it decided to help Ash. Goomy was easily frightened and was afraid of {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon such as {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} because {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon are weak against Fairy-type Pokémon. In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', after Dedenne was protecting it from Team Rocket, Goomy was pleased and it was no longer afraid of Dedenne. It was also afraid of {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon such as {{p|Ariados}} as they destroyed Goomy's original home. When depressed or insulted, Goomy tended to use Rain Dance on the offender, as seen when it used the move on {{an|Serena}} for calling it icky, and in ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'' where it used the move on [[Jessie]]. It views Pikachu as a role model, and wants to become strong like it and its Trainer.

As shown in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Goomy had a slimy body, which can help reflect attacks without it taking damage or it can put slime on others, making them slimy, as shown when it used this on {{AP|Pikachu}} to help it escape from {{TRT}}'s cage. It also used to dry out easily causing it to become weak or tired, but could stop it by absorbing water.

[[File:Goodra and Wooper.png|thumb|250px|left|Goodra and Wooper]]
The invasion of Goomy's home was a clearly traumatic event in its life. In the beginning, whenever it encountered dangerous situations, it tended to flashback to the scene of Bug-type Pokémon attacking its home, and would freeze from the shock. However, it is capable of overcoming its fears to help its friends, as seen in its debut episode and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]''. It also leads it to sympathize with others, as seen in ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]'', where it became determined to help a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spoink}}, who had also been driven away from its home by a wild {{p|Grumpig}}. After evolving, some signs of trauma were still present in Sliggoo. In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', an explosion from one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]] caused a fire that reminded it of a group of stranded, young Pokémon surrounded by the fires of the invasion. However, the memory lead Sliggoo to take action, using Rain Dance to put out the flames, and trigger its evolution.

After evolving, Goodra's power and endurance became substantially higher, as it was not only able to deal large amounts of damage, but take hits as well without being knocked out, such as Team Rocket's Pumpkaboo's Dark Pulse and Inkay's Psybeam, Tierno's Raichu's Charge Beam and Focus Blast, and Clemont's Luxray's Thunder Fang, Wild Charge, and Swift. This endurance was usually followed up with a Bide attack against the opponents to deal massive damage. Goodra grew into a brave, strong, and kind Pokémon under Ash's care; in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', Goodra completely overcame its fear of Bug-types, Fairy-types, and Poison-types to defend its homeland against {{p|Florges}}'s Bug-type army. Although it still faltered for a moment after seeing the Blue Flower Florges, it successfully defended itself with encouragement from Ash and {{ashfr}}. Even after a long absence, Goodra's endurance was shown to be as strong as ever, seen when it took consecutive hits from Dazzling Gleam, Fairy Wind, and Flamethrower in the Full Battle against Sawyer's Slurpuff without being knocked out.

It was also shown in ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'' that when it wins a battle and Ash thanks it for the hard work, it blushes; however, it means that Ash's promise was fulfilled as in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Ash promised to help Goodra get stronger and he succeeded.

==Blurb==
With the ascension of their king and the fall of the Pokémon League, Team Plasma is poised to take control—until the Gym Leaders arrive!

==Plot==
Outside the {{un|Pokémon League}}, [[Iris]] and her {{p|Druddigon}} are rushing ahead as they witness a giant lightning bolt striking down from the storm clouds above and into the ground below. From the cracks left behind, [[N's Castle|Team Plasma's castle]] starts emerging, tower by tower. At the top of the rising towers are six of the [[Seven Sages]], who recite pieces of philosophy as the castle finally completes itself. Multiple staircases then erupt from the castle walls and land on the plateau below, completing the castle's encirclement of the Pokémon League, which dwarfs in comparison to the giant structure that now stands around it.

From the top of his tower, [[Giallo]] declares that they will now reveal [[Ghetsis]]'s plan to the {{pkmn|world}}, intending to bring the entire [[Unova]] [[region]] under [[Team Plasma]]'s control. As hordes of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s and their Pokémon start pouring down the multiple staircases, Iris finally takes action and has her Druddigon use {{m|Flamethrower}}, blasting a gaping hole in one of the staircases. She directly addresses Giallo, saying that what they are saying doesn't make any sense at all, but Giallo just tells her to know her place. As Iris prepares to stop the advancing assault, a pair of {{p|Liepard}} suddenly launch a surprise attack from behind. Iris braces herself, but before the Liepard can even reach her, an {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}} emerges from the ground and uses {{m|Drill Run}} on the Liepard, instantly felling them. For a moment, Iris is confused, until [[Clay]] steps up next to her and compliments her skills.

The Seven Sages immediately recognize Clay as the {{ci|Driftveil}} [[Gym Leader]], and tell their forces to crush him, but Clay smugly reveals that he didn't come alone. This is immediately revealed to be true, as {{ci|Nacrene}} Gym Leader [[Lenora]]'s {{p|Herdier}} charges past and attacks a Grunt's {{p|Krokorok}}, knocking it back. The next Gym Leader to appear is the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Gym Leader [[Elesa]], who, while riding on her {{p|Zebstrika}} and using its {{m|Discharge}} to shock the Grunts and their Pokémon around her, says that it would be terrible for the Gym Leaders to just ignore Team Plasma. [[Burgh]], the Gym Leader of [[Castelia City]], while attacking Team Plasma's Pokémon with her {{p|Leavanny}}'s {{m|Leaf Blade}}, states that they must do everything in their power to protect each and every Pokémon. On one of the staircases, [[Brycen]] of the [[Icirrus Gym]] is engaged in a direct fist fight with a Team Plasma Grunt, easily knocking the Grunt around with his martial art skills, while on another staircase, his {{p|Beartic}} picks up a {{p|Gigalith}} and flings it at the castle wall with a roar. Soaring above the battlefield, {{ci|Mistralton}} Gym Leader [[Skyla]]'s {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}} attacks Team Plasma's forces with {{m|Air Slash}}, and Skyla herself swears to protect Unova's skies. A pair of {{p|Whirlipede}} {{m|Rollout|charge}} at the {{ci|Opelucid}} Gym Leader, [[Drayden]], who is unfazed as his {{p|Haxorus}} leaps down and easily smacks the two {{t|Bug}} types aside with {{m|Dragon Tail}}. Drayden states that while he can empathize with some of Team Plasma's philosophy, he's never going to forgive them for rejecting everything else.

As Team Plasma's Pokémon approach the now-united row of Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, Giallo reveals how Ghetsis had made them the Chosen Ones and given them the duty to alter the world for the better and change Unova. [[Rood]] proclaims to the Gym Leaders that they shall not interfere with Team Plasma or [[N|their king]]. On Drayden's call, the Gym Leaders roar and charge at the army of Team Plasma Grunts, preparing for the final clash.

==Major events==

'''Iris''' (Japanese: '''アイリス''' ''Iris'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. She was one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Opelucid City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Opelucid Gym]], giving out the {{badge|Legend}}, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}. Two years later, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, she is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova]] region's [[Unova League|Pokémon League]].

==In the games==
Iris appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In both versions, she shows up in [[Castelia City]] to aid the player, [[Burgh]], and [[Bianca]] when Bianca's Munna is stolen; during this time, she acts as Bianca's bodyguard.

In {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, she is the [[Gym Leader]] of Opelucid City's Gym. This Gym is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}}. She also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. In the summer, she visits [[Cynthia]] at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.

In {{game3|Black and White|Black|s}}, she will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to the player's {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon if they have full [[friendship]]. She can be found on the first floor of [[Drayden]]'s home in Opelucid City.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later makes another appearance in Opelucid City, but leaves shortly after meeting the player. Iris's primary role in these games is finally revealed to be that of the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, replacing [[Alder]]. After training extensively under Drayden, she battled and defeated Alder after he retired as Champion, gaining the title for herself. As a gift for her victory, Drayden gave her new clothes to replace the ones he had given her after bringing her to Unova.

* Prime Pier
:''"I heard this lady's scream and ran after the thief as fast as I could. But this city is so big and so crowded... I'm afraid I lost them."''
:''"But that's so bad! Taking people's Pokémon is really bad! 'Cause it's really nice when people and Pokémon are together! They each have something the other doesn't, and they help each other!"''
:''"I'm gonna be [[Bianca]]'s bodyguard. So you go after those bad guys, OK?"''

* Gym Street
:''"Phew, we got lost. Even with the directions from the [[Xtransceiver]], I couldn't figure it out!"''
:''"OK! This time, I'll join the fight! Come on, Bianca. You too!"''

* [[Team Plasma]]'s hideout
:''"I am! It's the {{p|Zekrom|black}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Reshiram|white}}{{sup/5|W}} {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, right?"''
:''"Bianca! Why are you thanking them? They take people's precious Pokémon!"''
:''"What are you doing? Why are you letting them get away?!"''
:''"OK, if you're happy..."''
:''"Don't worry! I'll keep being your bodyguard!"''
:''"Also, thanks for looking for the Pokémon! Here, this is for you! See you!"''

;[[Opelucid City]]
* After [[Ghetsis]]'s speech
:''"What was that about? That speech was off-the-charts strange!"''
:''"Oh! Mr. [[Alder]]! ...And the {{tt|guy|If the player character is male}}/{{tt|girl|If the player character is female}} who helped out that time."''
:''"Are you talking about {{p|Reshiram}}? Or {{p|Zekrom}}? What's the sudden interest?"''
:''"Oh, no! The {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon get along so well!"''
:''"Aww... He's gone. Is he OK? He looked kinda scary."''
:''"You bet! If it's Opelucid City, I can take you anywhere. As for the story of Reshiram and Zekrom, we'll tell you all we know about it! This way!"''
:''"That way!"''

* Near [[Drayden]]'s house
:''"Just a little farther!"''

* In front of Drayden's house
:''"This is it!"''

* In Drayden's house
:''"That single Dragon Pokémon, along with twin heroes, brought a new region into being. And people and Pokémon had happy lives!"''
:''"In its pursuit of truth, the white Dragon-type Pokémon sought to usher in a new and better world... Its name was Reshiram. And the other, the black Dragon-type Pokémon, sought ideals and to usher in a new world--a world of hope. Its name was Zekrom."''
:''"But, but... The two heroes' sons started the battle again! And an instant later, Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed Unova with fire and lightning! Then, they disappeared! But, but... If people work with Pokémon in the right way, we don't have to worry anymore about the world being destroyed. I mean, Reshiram and Zekrom worked hard for everyone and made a new region! So, it should be all right, I think."''
:''"Yeah! So I'm never gonna forgive Team Plasma for trying to separate Pokémon and us!"''
:''"Everyone, people and Pokémon can get along and be happy. That's awesome!"''{{sup/5|Bl}}
:''"Yay! Look out! I'm really, really strong, just like Drayden!"''{{sup/5|W}}

:::''"Let me see... Well, this Pokémon can learn the move, but you need to have a really strong bond of friendship first. I don't think I can teach it yet."''
:* Yes; if player has no Dragon-type Pokémon in the party
:::''"OK, great! Oh, but... You don't seem to have a Pokémon that can learn this move."''
:* No

===In the main series===
{{main|Iris (anime)}}
Iris was a {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of [[Ash Ketchum]] for the duration of the {{series|Best Wishes}}. She was assigned to go on a {{pkmn|journey}} of growth and maturity, and left her home in the [[Village of Dragons]] to raise an {{TP|Iris|Axew}} as well as achieve emotional growth herself. When she met Ash near [[Nuvema Town]], she allegedly decided to travel with him as a sort of guide since he was considered new to the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Eventually, she officially decided to accompany him after {{an|Cilan}} suggested the three of them should stick together. Her ultimate goal is to become a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]].

===In Pokémon Generations===
Iris appeared in ''[[PG13|The Uprising]]'', where she was seen outside [[N's Castle]] trying to stop the [[Seven Sages]]. Together with several other [[Unova]] [[Gym Leader]]s, she battled the many {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s to prevent them from achieving [[Team Plasma]]'s goals.

[[File:Iris Drayden Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Iris in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
In this series, Iris is not the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym, but is simply the apprentice of Drayden. She originally lived in [[Blackthorn City]], also known as the [[Village of Dragons]], where she trained to become a master of Dragon-types. Much to Iris's chagrin, the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan}} of the Dragon Tamer clan had Drayden come to take her to Unova so that he could tutor her. After arriving in Unova, Drayden introduced Iris to [[Alder]], who would also become her teacher and teaches her about spirituality.

====={{chap|Black & White}}=====
Iris first appears at the Studio Castelia to inform [[Burgh]] that {{adv|Black|a challenger}} had arrived at his Gym. When Burgh shows Iris his newest art piece, Iris insults it by saying his previous paintings were better, causing Burgh to into a slump. To cheer him back up, Iris compliments the smell of honey on Burgh's body. After Black and Burgh's Gym battle had finished, Iris barges into the Gym with an unconscious {{adv|Bianca}}. She reveals that Bianca was attacked and had Pokémon stolen by thieves. With Black's detective abilities, they find out that the thieves were [[Team Plasma]], find out their hiding place, and retrieve all of the Pokémon they had stolen.

At the [[Tubeline Bridge]], Iris meets up with Black again while he trains with [[Brycen]]. There, she reveals that Drayden is her master and is training her to become a Dragon-type expert. Black had a hard time believing these claims, which got Iris annoyed at him. To prove that she is telling the truth, Iris requests a battle with Drayden, only to be easily swatted away and defeated. Later, Drayden leaves to go on his own business and has Iris stay with Black for the duration of his training to liven things up. After Black and Brycen's Gym battle ends, Iris reluctantly informs Black that the Pokémon League's start time had been moved up from three months to one week.

At the Unova Pokémon League, Iris appears as one of the competitors that made it to the top 8. There, Iris reveals that she had already gained all eight Badges before she met up with Black at the Tubeline Bridge. In the quarterfinal match, Iris is paired up against [[Zinzolin|Gray]]. Eventually she manages to win, allowing her to advance to the semifinal rounds. In the next round, Iris faces Black as her opponent. She reveals that she intends to avenge Alder's hurt pride by getting even with {{adv|N}}. Although she proves to be a powerful Trainer, Black's determination to beat N proves stronger and he manages to win the battle. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Iris helps protect the bystanders from the Team Plasma Grunts.

====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Iris has been made the Opelucid Gym Leader so that Drayden can focus on solving the problems that happened after the League.

====Badges obtained====

* At least eight unknown Badges (prior to ''[[PS498|Decisions, Decisions]]'')

==In the TCG==
[[File:IrisPlasmaBlast101.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Iris]]
{{main|Iris (Plasma Blast 81)}}
'''Iris''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Megalo Cannon}} expansion, it later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the [[Yusuke Ohmura]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}}, with an illustration by [[Kagemaru Himeno]]. Iris causes all attacks by the player's Pokémon to deal 10 more damage against the opponent's {{TCG|Active Pokémon}} for each {{TCG|Prize Card}} the opponent has taken.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|竜の心を　知る　娘|The girl who knows the hearts of dragons}}.
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the only differences between Iris and [[Drayden]]'s teams are the genders of their Pokémon and their {{p|Druddigon}}'s and {{p|Haxorus}}'s Abilities: Iris has an all-female team and her Druddigon has {{a|Sheer Force}} and her Haxorus has {{a|Mold Breaker}}, while Drayden has an all-male team and his Druddigon has {{a|Rough Skin}} and his Haxorus has {{a|Rivalry}}.
** In White, Iris's Druddigon has no moves that take advantage of Sheer Force.
* Iris and [[Clair]] are both female Gym Leaders that train Dragon-type Pokémon. Additionally, they are both the eighth Gym Leader the player challenges in Unova and Johto, respectively.
* Iris is the first {{pkmn|Champion}} to keep her Japanese name.
* Iris is the only Unova Gym Leader who does not have a secondary occupation.
* In the Pokémon White canon, Iris and [[Wallace]] have many similarities: both were trained by Gym Leaders, were the eighth [[Gym Leader]] in their respective regions, and later became the Champion, at which point their mentors took their places in their Gyms.
** However, this is not the case in the Pokémon Black canon, because unlike [[Juan]], [[Drayden]] was always the Leader of [[Opelucid Gym]] in Black, and Iris never was.
** Also, in the Pokémon White canon, Iris's transition from being the eighth Gym Leader to becoming the Champion is the opposite of {{ga|Blue}}'s transition from being the Champion in [[Generation I]] and its remakes to becoming the eighth Gym Leader in [[Generation II]] and its remakes.
* Iris considers Drayden to be her grandfather despite the two of them not being biologically related, affectionately referring to him as "Grandpa."
* Iris is the only Champion prior to [[Generation VI]] to not participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Iris is the first character in any [[core series]] game to have a full-body challenge sprite.
* Iris is the only Champion to not use any Pokémon that evolve from ones that take 21 [[egg cycles]] to hatch, with the lowest being 31 (for Druddigon and Archeops).

GyaradosBreak: /* In the anime */

{{search|property of Pokémon|the Trainer level in Pokémon GO|Trainer level}} ''For the level of Gyms in Pokémon GO, see [[Gym (GO)]].''
----
{{incomplete|needs=In the TCG}}
The '''level''' (Japanese: '''レベル''' ''level'') is a measurement of how strong a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} currently is. It is portrayed differently in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==In the games==
===In the core series===
[[File:Level.png|thumb|right|Level bar in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In the Pokémon games, a Pokémon's level is determined by how much [[experience]] it has. A Pokémon's level will range from 1 to 100. When a Pokémon gains a level, its stats increase by a small amount. Depending on the exact level, it may also learn a new [[move]] or [[evolution|evolve]]. A Pokémon's level is usually used to determine [[damage]] when the Pokémon uses an attacking move. Opponent's levels may be viewed in-battle, and {{player}}s may see their own Pokémon's levels in-battle, in the [[PC]] or by using the [[menu]].

Using a [[Rare Candy]] will increase a Pokémon's level by 1 (and increase its experience accordingly).

When a Pokémon levels up, it becomes more [[friendship|friendly]]. This way, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}} may eventually evolve by training.

In [[Generation IV]], during battle, if a Pokémon almost has enough experience to level up, its [[Poké Ball]] will shake in the player's team summary.

In [[Generation I]], if a Pokémon gains enough experience to gain more than one level, it will grow straight to the new level, and is unable to learn any move learned at a skipped level. In [[Generation II]], the active Pokémon grows level by level, whereas [[recall|switched out]] Pokémon grow straight to the new level (but are able to learn any moves regardless). From [[Generation III]] onwards, all Pokémon grow level by level.

====Level cap====
In the [[Pokémon games]], the level cap is level 100. When a Pokémon has reached level 100, it cannot gain any more [[experience]] or level up. Due to this, level 100 Pokémon cannot [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolve in any way which requires leveling up]].

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} only, when a Pokémon has reached level 100, even if it has not gained maximum {{EV}}s, it cannot continue gaining EVs through battle (except {{p|Deoxys}}). [[Vitamin]]s can still be used to raise EVs. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} as well as from Generation {{gen|V}} onwards, EVs can be gained even by level 100 Pokémon (although the [[Box trick]] is required in Generations I and II for the [[statistic|stats]] to update).

By exploiting the [[old man glitch]] in Generation I, a Pokémon can be acquired at a level higher than 100. Also in Generation I, any Pokémon can also be raised to a level above 100 via the [[Pokémon merge glitch]]; however, Pokémon in the Slow experience group need to be merged with a [[glitch Pokémon]] who requires even more experience at level 100. These Pokémon can continue to be leveled up with [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] until level 255. Whenever a Pokémon over level 100 gains any [[experience]], its level will revert to 100. If a Rare Candy is used on a level 255 Pokémon, it will revert to level 0 due to an overflow.

In Generations I and II, Pokémon were not legitimately available at a level below 2. This could be related to the fact that in Generations I and II, Pokémon in the [[Experience#Medium Slow|Medium Slow experience group]] had a ''negative'' experience value at level 1, causing them to level up instantly to level 100 if they were to gain less than 54 experience points in battle (a high possibility on the games' early routes). Instead, Pokémon on the games' earliest routes were found level 2 or level 3, and starter Pokémon are given out at level 5. Likewise, Pokémon hatch from [[Pokémon Egg]]s at level 5.

From Generation III onwards, experience required to level up is taken from a lookup table, rather than by using a programmed equation as in Generations I and II; in Generation III, however, Pokémon still hatch from Eggs at level 5, and no wild Pokémon can be found at a level below 2. From Generation IV onwards, Pokémon hatch from Eggs at level 1 and some Pokémon are available in the wild at level 1 (however, [[starter Pokémon]] are still received at level 5).

====Underleveled Pokémon====

Through some unique circumstances, it is possible to have Pokémon at a lower level than they are usually available via [[evolution]]. Underleveled Pokémon appeared as early as {{v2|Red and Green|s}}, with level 4-6 {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Metapod}} available in [[Viridian Forest]]. Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7.

Prior to Generation V, Pokémon obtained in [[in-game trade]]s are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades. For example, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, it is possible to obtain an {{p|Electrode}} as low as level 3, even though the species evolves from {{p|Voltorb}} only at level 30 or above. This Electrode can be obtained by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]] at level 3, evolving it with the [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], and trading it on [[Cinnabar Island]].

Some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, [[Lance]] has three underleveled {{p|Dragonite}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with one being at level 50 and two at level 49 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} (Dragonite does not evolve naturally from {{p|Dragonair}} until level 55). Many other in-game Trainers, such as [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], also possess underleveled Pokémon.

An application of the [[Pomeg glitch]] in {{v2|Emerald}} makes it possible to evolve a Pokémon while it is still inside an Egg, allowing any such evolved forms to be obtained at level 5. In [[Generation IV]], this particular exploit of the Pomeg glitch was fixed; the Pomeg glitch was removed entirely in [[Generation V]].

====Disobedience====
{{main|Obedience}}
[[Outsider Pokémon]] (Pokémon obtained via [[trade]] or {{pkmn2|event}} distribution) occasionally disobey the player's commands if they are above a certain level. The [[Badge]]s the player owns determine the maximum level outsider Pokémon can be before there is a possibility for them to disobey. Not owning the region's second Badge means that no traded Pokémon whose level is above 10 (level 20 since Generation V) will obey the player; if the player has the region's eighth Badge, Pokémon will always obey.

===In the spin-off games===
====In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], level functions similarly to the core series. Like in the core series, each Pokémon's level, ranging from 1 to 100, depends on how much {{DL|Experience|In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|experience}} it has. When a Pokémon gains a level, its stats increase slightly and it may try to learn a new move. The moves that can be learned by each Pokémon, and the exact levels they will try to learn them, are the same as contemporaneous core series games. In order for some Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]], a minimum level is also required. However, evolution does not occur automatically, requiring access to specific places instead.

In the Mystery Dungeon games preceding [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Pokémon require significantly more experience to level up than in the core series games, while in Super Mystery Dungeon, experience is gained the same way as in the core series games.

A number of dungeons across the series temporarily set the team's levels to 1 or 5 when entered. Their levels are restored to normal once the dungeon is exited.

A {{DL|Seed|Joy Seed}} or {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Golden Banana}} can be used to increase a Pokémon's level. A {{DL|Seed|Doom Seed}} can be used to decrease a Pokémon's level. A Pokémon holding a {{DL|Ribbon|Joy Ribbon}} or {{DL|Looplet|Joy Looplet}} will gain experience points whenever it takes damage (the amount of experience gained this way varies between games).

====In Pokémon Shuffle====
Each Pokémon in [[Pokémon Shuffle]] has a level, which increases when it gains enough [[experience]]. As a Pokémon's level increases, its {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Attack power, Level, and XP|Attack power}} increases as well, with how much it increases per level determined by the Pokémon's {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Attack power table|Attack power at level 1}}. All Pokémon begin at level 1, with a maximum level of 10. However, Raise Max Level {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}} are able to increase this cap for specific Pokémon, potentially up to level 20.

====In Pokémon GO====
{{main|Power Up}}
Pokémon levels in {{g|GO}} are hidden values that may be increased by Powering Up with {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} and [[Candy]]. Each Power Up increases the level by one half, capped based on the [[Trainer level|Trainer's level]]. Each time a Pokémon is Powered Up, its CP (determined by HP, Attack, and Defense) is increased.

==In the anime==
The concept of levels of Pokémon is not as detailed, nor as frequently mentioned, in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Unlike the games, the term appears to be applied more loosely, with higher levels correlating with increased strength of the Pokémon and its moves. This can be seen in several instances throughout the anime:
* The first time levels were referred to was briefly by {{MTR}} during the [[EP002|second episode]] when he said [[Ash's Pikachu]] was "powerful beyond its evolutionary level."
* At a [[Pokémon Academy]] in Kanto, several [[Schoolkids]] mention a [[Pidgey]] evolving when it reaches level 18.
* {{an|Misty}} mentions levels in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' where she says "That {{p|Rhyhorn}} must be at a ''high level''!" referring to a {{tc|Hiker}}'s Rhyhorn's formidable strength as it uses {{m|Take Down}} on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], severely injuring it.
* {{an|Gary}} mentions taking the opponent's level into account before beginning a battle in the Japanese version of ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''.
* In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', when Ash chose Bulbasaur to battle {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Electabuzz}}, Tracey reminded Ash that level had to be taken into account as well as type despite Grass Pokémon being resistant to Electric-type moves. After Bulbasaur was defeated, Drake comments that [[Ash's Charizard]] is at a higher level than he thought, as it was able to withstand a series of super-effective Electric attacks from Electabuzz.
* In ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'', {{Ash}}'s [[Pokédex]] mentions that the length of a {{p|Donphan}}'s tusks indicates its level, allowing Brock to deduce that the short-tusked Donphan they encountered was a young and low-level one.
* Brock mentions in ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally!]]'' that moves become more powerful as a Pokémon's level is raised; and Ash adds that the best way to raise levels is by battling.
* In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', Brock comments how {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}'s {{p|Milotic}} is at a high level after it defeated [[Ash's Donphan]] with a single hit.
* In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', {{an|Brock}} mentions [[Barry's Empoleon]] has leveled up a ton since last seeing it, referring to how its battle against a {{p|Mothim}} went.
* In ''[[DP173|Dealing with a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', when teaching [[Narissa]], Brock says "Now let's level you up. And the only way to do that is to get [[experience]] from battling."

There are few instances in the anime where the concept of levels more closely resembles that of the games. In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', {{OBP|Joe|EP009|one of the students}} at [[Pokémon Tech]] was able to quote the levels at which {{p|Pidgey}} and the rest of its family [[evolution|evolve]] and learn certain [[move]]s. Furthermore, [[Giselle|another student]] stated that Pikachu should be at least level 25. Another time was during a quiz in ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]'', when [[Nurse Joy]] asks {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[James]] (disguised as Professor Oak) what move {{p|Slowbro}} learns at level 46. When James fails to know the answer, he says that he has Amnesia. For his luck, however, {{m|Amnesia}} was the correct answer.

Levels are also mentioned in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] special episodes ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' and ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', but are not explained.

==In the manga==
The concept of levels appears to be present within some manga (but not all of them).

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
The concept of levels appears rarely in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga; however, in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', [[Samurai]] specifically mentions level 99 {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Magikarp}} which can be found in the [[Hidden Village]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
At the end of every {{adv|volume}}, or starting from {{PAV|15}}, at the end of certain {{adv|round}}s, the current levels of at least one of the main characters' Pokémon are given in a Pokédex or Adventure Map section.

The level mechanic appears in the plot twice. In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, [[Orm]]'s black [[Pokédex]] was able to deduce the power of {{adv|Yellow}}'s Pokémon in terms of level; Yellow then used her own mysterious power to sharply raise her team members' levels. In the {{chap|Emerald}}, {{adv|Emerald}} found out that the {{p|Sceptile}} he used during his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge, and later smuggled out, was able to survive an opposing {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Sheer Cold}}; Sceptile was Level 51, even though Emerald's challenge was in the Level 50, Single Battle mode, meaning that the rest of the rental Pokémon were Level 50.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
The concept of levels seems to exist in [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], as in ''[[GDZ17|Catch Bellsprout!]]'', [[Shu]] comments that the {{p|Bellsprout}} he is battling against is at a higher level than his {{p|Ponyta}}.

==Trivia==
* Before [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to get a Pokémon at level 1 without the aid of a glitch or cheating device. The lowest level Pokémon would be at level 2 in the wild, and Eggs would hatch at level 5. In Generation IV, however, Eggs are hatched at level 1, {{p|Regigigas}} and {{p|Magikarp}} can be caught at level 1 in {{game|Platinum}}, and {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} can be obtained at level 1 in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to encounter and catch Pokémon at levels over 100 through the [[old man glitch]], and encounter them in [[glitch Trainer]]s' parties through the [[Mew glitch]].

GyaradosBreak: /* In the anime */

{{search|property of Pokémon|the Trainer level in Pokémon GO|Trainer level}} ''For the level of Gyms in Pokémon GO, see [[Gym (GO)]].''
----
{{incomplete|needs=In the TCG}}
The '''level''' (Japanese: '''レベル''' ''level'') is a measurement of how strong a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} currently is. It is portrayed differently in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==In the games==
===In the core series===
[[File:Level.png|thumb|right|Level bar in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In the Pokémon games, a Pokémon's level is determined by how much [[experience]] it has. A Pokémon's level will range from 1 to 100. When a Pokémon gains a level, its stats increase by a small amount. Depending on the exact level, it may also learn a new [[move]] or [[evolution|evolve]]. A Pokémon's level is usually used to determine [[damage]] when the Pokémon uses an attacking move. Opponent's levels may be viewed in-battle, and {{player}}s may see their own Pokémon's levels in-battle, in the [[PC]] or by using the [[menu]].

Using a [[Rare Candy]] will increase a Pokémon's level by 1 (and increase its experience accordingly).

When a Pokémon levels up, it becomes more [[friendship|friendly]]. This way, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}} may eventually evolve by training.

In [[Generation IV]], during battle, if a Pokémon almost has enough experience to level up, its [[Poké Ball]] will shake in the player's team summary.

In [[Generation I]], if a Pokémon gains enough experience to gain more than one level, it will grow straight to the new level, and is unable to learn any move learned at a skipped level. In [[Generation II]], the active Pokémon grows level by level, whereas [[recall|switched out]] Pokémon grow straight to the new level (but are able to learn any moves regardless). From [[Generation III]] onwards, all Pokémon grow level by level.

====Level cap====
In the [[Pokémon games]], the level cap is level 100. When a Pokémon has reached level 100, it cannot gain any more [[experience]] or level up. Due to this, level 100 Pokémon cannot [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolve in any way which requires leveling up]].

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} only, when a Pokémon has reached level 100, even if it has not gained maximum {{EV}}s, it cannot continue gaining EVs through battle (except {{p|Deoxys}}). [[Vitamin]]s can still be used to raise EVs. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} as well as from Generation {{gen|V}} onwards, EVs can be gained even by level 100 Pokémon (although the [[Box trick]] is required in Generations I and II for the [[statistic|stats]] to update).

By exploiting the [[old man glitch]] in Generation I, a Pokémon can be acquired at a level higher than 100. Also in Generation I, any Pokémon can also be raised to a level above 100 via the [[Pokémon merge glitch]]; however, Pokémon in the Slow experience group need to be merged with a [[glitch Pokémon]] who requires even more experience at level 100. These Pokémon can continue to be leveled up with [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] until level 255. Whenever a Pokémon over level 100 gains any [[experience]], its level will revert to 100. If a Rare Candy is used on a level 255 Pokémon, it will revert to level 0 due to an overflow.

In Generations I and II, Pokémon were not legitimately available at a level below 2. This could be related to the fact that in Generations I and II, Pokémon in the [[Experience#Medium Slow|Medium Slow experience group]] had a ''negative'' experience value at level 1, causing them to level up instantly to level 100 if they were to gain less than 54 experience points in battle (a high possibility on the games' early routes). Instead, Pokémon on the games' earliest routes were found level 2 or level 3, and starter Pokémon are given out at level 5. Likewise, Pokémon hatch from [[Pokémon Egg]]s at level 5.

From Generation III onwards, experience required to level up is taken from a lookup table, rather than by using a programmed equation as in Generations I and II; in Generation III, however, Pokémon still hatch from Eggs at level 5, and no wild Pokémon can be found at a level below 2. From Generation IV onwards, Pokémon hatch from Eggs at level 1 and some Pokémon are available in the wild at level 1 (however, [[starter Pokémon]] are still received at level 5).

====Underleveled Pokémon====

Through some unique circumstances, it is possible to have Pokémon at a lower level than they are usually available via [[evolution]]. Underleveled Pokémon appeared as early as {{v2|Red and Green|s}}, with level 4-6 {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Metapod}} available in [[Viridian Forest]]. Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7.

Prior to Generation V, Pokémon obtained in [[in-game trade]]s are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades. For example, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, it is possible to obtain an {{p|Electrode}} as low as level 3, even though the species evolves from {{p|Voltorb}} only at level 30 or above. This Electrode can be obtained by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]] at level 3, evolving it with the [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], and trading it on [[Cinnabar Island]].

Some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, [[Lance]] has three underleveled {{p|Dragonite}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with one being at level 50 and two at level 49 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} (Dragonite does not evolve naturally from {{p|Dragonair}} until level 55). Many other in-game Trainers, such as [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], also possess underleveled Pokémon.

An application of the [[Pomeg glitch]] in {{v2|Emerald}} makes it possible to evolve a Pokémon while it is still inside an Egg, allowing any such evolved forms to be obtained at level 5. In [[Generation IV]], this particular exploit of the Pomeg glitch was fixed; the Pomeg glitch was removed entirely in [[Generation V]].

'''Ash's Lycanroc''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルガルガン''' ''Satoshi's Lugarugan'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-eighth overall. Before being caught by Ash, it lived with {{an|Professor Kukui}}, although it was never officially Kukui's Pokémon.

==History==
===Under Professor Kukui's care===
[[File:Ash Rockruff.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Rockruff]]
Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was a [[wild Pokémon]] that one day stumbled across {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. It was starving and left confused from another Pokémon's {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Professor Kukui gave it some [[Pokémon food]], which made Rockruff decide to stay at Kukui's house. From then on, Rockruff lived with Kukui, although he never {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Poké Ball]].

Rockruff first appeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', where it had dinner and played with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was later seen the following day with Professor Kukui, watching the welcoming party {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}} had prepared for him. Kukui had planned to battle Ash and Pikachu with Rockruff, but the party was interrupted by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who challenged Ash to a battle instead.

In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff came home injured, causing Ash and Professor Kukui to investigate the reason behind its injuries. This led them to [[Clawmark Hill]], where they discovered that Rockruff had been fighting with other wild Pokémon, including a {{p|Magmar}}. With Ash's help, Rockruff was able to master {{m|Rock Throw}}, which helped it defeat Magmar. At the end of the episode, Professor Kukui encouraged Ash to catch Rockruff after seeing the bond the two had developed.

===With Ash===
In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was used in its first official battle, in which it faced [[Hiroki]] and his {{p|Mudbray}}. During the battle, Rockruff performed {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} for the first time, which was able to defeat Mudbray.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', Rockruff was seen training with [[Ash's Rowlet]] and {{AP|Litten}}. Later, it witnessed its evolved form {{p|Lycanroc}} winning a battle against a {{p|Blastoise}}, which greatly impressed it. Ash later used Rockruff in his battle against {{an|Gladion}} in which it battled Lycanroc. Rockruff got quickly overwhelmed by Lycanroc's great speed and fierce moves, but was still able to battle. The battle was then interrupted by {{TRT}}, who captured Pikachu and Lycanroc.
[[File:Ash and Lycanroc.png|thumb|right|250px|Lycanroc and Ash]]
In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rockruff was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rowlet, battling [[Olivia]]'s Lycanroc and {{p|Probopass}}. Despite their opponents giving them tough times with their combination tactics, Rowlet eventually managed to defeat Probopass with {{m|Bloom Doom}}. Unfortunately, Rockruff, who was acting aggressively, was so desperate to battle Lycanroc by itself that it impulsively used {{m|Bite}} against Rowlet, accidentally knocking it out. Despite this setback, Ash encouraged Rockruff to use its fighting spirit, allowing it to outspeed and defeat Lycanroc, earning Ash a [[Rockium Z]]. Professor Kukui and Olivia then revealed to Ash that Rockruff's behavior was a sign that it was going to [[evolution|evolve]] soon.

In ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', Rockruff went off by itself to train after remembering the aggression it demonstrated during Olivia's grand trial. While training, it encountered {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}}, who challenged it to a battle. Rockruff was no match for the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], however, and was easily beaten. When Ash found Rockruff, he tried to stop it from running away again, but failed. The next day, Rockruff was walking on a cliffside when it got startled by a {{p|Fearow}}, causing it to fall down into a river. The injured Puppy Pokémon was later found by Olivia and Gladion's Lycanroc, who brought it to the [[Ruins of Life]], where Tapu Lele resided. When Ash, Professor Kukui, and Olivia arrived at the ruins, Tapu Lele used {{m|Draining Kiss}} to drain Ash and the two Lycanroc's energy, which it then used to heal Rockruff's wounds. Afterwards, Rockruff went to the edge of a cliff and began to howl as the setting sun {{wp|Green flash|turned green}}. It then evolved into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} Lycanroc, after which it got happily embraced by its Trainer and the rest of Ash's party.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Ash had Lycanroc use {{m|Continental Crush}} against Team Rocket, but the attack failed. After another attempt, Professor Kukui gave him some advice, which led to Ash training with {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. When Team Rocket showed up again and [[Jessie]] challenged Ash to a battle with her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, Lycanroc mastered Continental Crush and sent Team Rocket blasting off, much to their surprise.
[[File:Ash Lycanroc berserk.png|thumb|left|250px|Lycanroc going berserk after discovering it's fur is dirty]]
In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Ash discovered while washing Lycanroc that it was so proud of its appearance that it would fly into a rage and attack if its fur got dirty. Lycanroc attacked {{AP|Litten}} and Litten fought back, with Ash placing himself between his two errant Pokémon. This helped Lycanroc to calm down, and it was very apologetic towards Ash. Later, Ash used Lycanroc to battle Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}}, nicknamed Silvally, where it was outmatched by its opponent sheer power. During the battle Lycanroc was thrown into a nearby lake which drenched its fur, causing another rage during which it refused to listen to Ash's commands. Despite this, Silvally was still the stronger opponent and Lycanroc was easily held at bay before it could regain control of itself. After Lycanroc recovered, Ash and Gladion decided to continue the battle, but despite its best efforts, Lycanroc couldn't stand up to the power of Silvally's {{m|Crush Claw}} and was defeated.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Lycanroc fought alongside {{an|Lillie}}'s {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]], against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Clefable}}, which was under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control. It saved Lillie from Clefable's {{m|Moonblast}} with an {{m|Accelerock}}. After Lycanroc knocked back Clefable with a {{m|Rock Throw}}, Lillie reminded Clefable of the Clefairy doll they used to play with together, in order to free it from Nihilego's command. When Clefable began powering up a move, Lillie gestured Lycanroc and Snowy not to attack before freeing Clefable with a simple embrace.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was used to battle [[Nanu]], going up against his {{p|Krookodile}}. During the battle, Nanu had Krookodile deliberately anger Lycanroc, even going so far as to make it go berserk by dirtying its fur with {{m|Mud-Slap}}. Despite the furious attacks in its angered state, Lycanroc was defeated after Krookodile used {{m|Counter}} to send it flying before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}. Afterwards, at [[Acerola]]'s library, Lycanroc sulked over its defeat. It was cheered up after Ash asked Acerola to help him find a place where he could train for a rematch with Nanu.

In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Acerola took Ash to see {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]] so it could help him train. After some time, the duo managed to meet with Tapu Bulu and convince it to help them. At one point during their stay, it began raining, so Tapu Bulu decided to knock Lycanroc into a nearby pond, dirtying its fur and making it go berserk. By reminding Lycanroc of its time as a Rockruff and the bond they share, Ash finally managed to calm Lycanroc down. Impressed by this act, Tapu Bulu decided to battle Lycanroc. Though Tapu Bulu proved to be a powerful opponent, Lycanroc learned {{m|Stone Edge}} during the battle, after which Tapu Bulu called the battle off.

In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Ash faced Nanu in a grand trial battle, but was only allowed to use Lycanroc against all three of Nanu's Pokémon. After managing to defeat Nanu's Krookodile and {{p|Sableye}}, it went up against Nanu's {{alo|Persian}}. Throughout the battle, Nanu used his previous strategy of angering Lycanroc so that it would go into its red-eyed state. Ash, worried that Lycanroc could go berserk again, kept telling it to keep calm throughout the battle. Nanu, realizing the truth of the situation, decided to anger Ash himself by mocking his skill as a Trainer. In order to calm its Trainer down, Lycanroc chose to tackle Ash, revealing that it was in complete control of itself the entire time. Realizing that he let his anger and frustration from Nanu's insults go to his head, Ash apologized to Lycanroc and continued the battle. After an exchange of Z-Moves with Persian as well as its newly learned {{m|Counter}}, Lycanroc won the battle, allowing Ash to win a [[Lycanium Z]].

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the [[Ultra Beast]]s they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon. After the successfully executed {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} had left the two Ultra Beasts momentarily vulnerable, {{an|Lana}} and Lillie were able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them and thus complete the mission.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Lycanroc joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc during his battle against Gladion and his own Lycanroc. Gladion's Lycanroc was able to withstand Splintered Stormshards before defeating Ash's Lycanroc with {{m|Devastating Drake}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Lycanroc red eyes.png|thumb|250px|Lycanroc in full control of it's red-eyed state]]
Lycanroc is normally a playful, affectionate Pokémon that gets along well with both Ash and its previous caretaker, Professor Kukui. The first night Ash stayed with the Professor, Rockruff, Pikachu, and Ash were quickly able to befriend each other. As a Rockruff, like other members of its species, it likes to greet and show affection to others by rubbing up against them with the rocks on its neck, although it doesn't seem to be aware that it stings the recipient. Its affectionate personality was also shown in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where, despite the fact that {{AP|Litten}} was angry toward it whilst eating and whilst relaxing at home, it continued to eat and smiled back at Litten respectively. Lycanroc appears to take its failures rather personally. As a Rockruff in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', after knocking out {{AP|Rowlet}} in a fit of anger, it immediately came to its senses and regretted what it had done, and, despite ultimately winning against [[Olivia]], was still visibly upset in [[SM037|the next episode]]. At the end of ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was seen sulking in the corner of [[Acerola]]'s house after losing its battle with [[Nanu]]'s {{p|Krookodile}}, prompting Ash to give it a pep talk.

Although Rockruff lived with Professor Kukui before being caught by Ash, it was actually a wild Pokémon that Professor Kukui was taking care of. When Ash revealed this to his classmates at the [[Pokémon School]], {{Rotom}} added that Rockruff readily bond with humans even if they are not captured by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. After evolving, Lycanroc started taking great pride in its fur, as shown in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', and is shown to enjoy being groomed and taking baths despite being a {{type|Rock}}, as observed by Rotom. However, if angered enough, such as when its fur gets dirty, Lycanroc's eyes turned red, and it would fly into a rage, lashing out at whomever it thought was responsible. When this happened, Lycanroc became [[obedience|disobedient]] and ignored Ash's commands. This weakness caused problems later during Ash's battle with Gladion and {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}, and was later the cause of its defeat at the hands of Nanu and his Krookodile in ''Tough Guy Trials!''. In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Lycanroc was able to overcome this destructive habit with the help of Ash and the bond the two shared, remembering a memory it had when it played in the mud happily with Ash and Pikachu when it was still a Rockruff. After this, Lycanroc no longer goes berserk when its fur is dirtied, as seen in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', where it got a bit of mud on its face and only reacted with disappointment. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Lycanroc was revealed to have gained full control of its red-eyed state, allowing it to use it as a boost of power.

Lycanroc has a strong sense of smell as a Rockruff, which has been used to help find {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, Ash's missing [[Electrium Z]] and [[DJ Leo]]'s {{p|Dugtrio}}. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', it is revealed that Ash and Pikachu had to rely on Lycanroc's nose to guide them back from [[Ten Carat Hill]] after [[Nebby]] had fallen asleep. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Lycanroc is shown to spar with Litten on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

{{p|Rockruff}} first appeared in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'' under the ownership of [[Professor Kukui]]. It was first used to battle {{adv|Sun}}'s {{adv|Dollar}} at the [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. Initially, Rockruff had the advantage over Dollar due to Sun lacking the motivation to battle. Once Sun was given the proper motivation, he and Dollar easily defeated Rockruff, forcing Kukui to switch for {{p|Munchlax}}. Sometime later, it evolved into a Midday Form Lycanroc, and was used to try and prevent a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], only to be defeated.

'''Ash's Lycanroc''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルガルガン''' ''Satoshi's Lugarugan'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-eighth overall. Before being caught by Ash, it lived with {{an|Professor Kukui}}, although it was never officially Kukui's Pokémon.

==History==
===Under Professor Kukui's care===
[[File:Ash Rockruff.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Rockruff]]
Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was a [[wild Pokémon]] that one day stumbled across {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. It was starving and left confused from another Pokémon's {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Professor Kukui gave it some [[Pokémon food]], which made Rockruff decide to stay at Kukui's house. From then on, Rockruff lived with Kukui, although he never {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Poké Ball]].

Rockruff first appeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', where it had dinner and played with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was later seen the following day with Professor Kukui, watching the welcoming party {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}} had prepared for him. Kukui had planned to battle Ash and Pikachu with Rockruff, but the party was interrupted by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who challenged Ash to a battle instead.

In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff came home injured, causing Ash and Professor Kukui to investigate the reason behind its injuries. This led them to [[Clawmark Hill]], where they discovered that Rockruff had been fighting with other wild Pokémon, including a {{p|Magmar}}. With Ash's help, Rockruff was able to master {{m|Rock Throw}}, which helped it defeat Magmar. At the end of the episode, Professor Kukui encouraged Ash to catch Rockruff after seeing the bond the two had developed.

===With Ash===
In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was used in its first official battle, in which it faced [[Hiroki]] and his {{p|Mudbray}}. During the battle, Rockruff performed {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} for the first time, which was able to defeat Mudbray.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', Rockruff was seen training with [[Ash's Rowlet]] and {{AP|Litten}}. Later, it witnessed its evolved form {{p|Lycanroc}} winning a battle against a {{p|Blastoise}}, which greatly impressed it. Ash later used Rockruff in his battle against {{an|Gladion}} in which it battled Lycanroc. Rockruff got quickly overwhelmed by Lycanroc's great speed and fierce moves, but was still able to battle. The battle was then interrupted by {{TRT}}, who captured Pikachu and Lycanroc.
[[File:Ash and Lycanroc.png|thumb|right|250px|Lycanroc and Ash]]
In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rockruff was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rowlet, battling [[Olivia]]'s Lycanroc and {{p|Probopass}}. Despite their opponents giving them tough times with their combination tactics, Rowlet eventually managed to defeat Probopass with {{m|Bloom Doom}}. Unfortunately, Rockruff, who was acting aggressively, was so desperate to battle Lycanroc by itself that it impulsively used {{m|Bite}} against Rowlet, accidentally knocking it out. Despite this setback, Ash encouraged Rockruff to use its fighting spirit, allowing it to outspeed and defeat Lycanroc, earning Ash a [[Rockium Z]]. Professor Kukui and Olivia then revealed to Ash that Rockruff's behavior was a sign that it was going to [[evolution|evolve]] soon.

In ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', Rockruff went off by itself to train after remembering the aggression it demonstrated during Olivia's grand trial. While training, it encountered {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}}, who challenged it to a battle. Rockruff was no match for the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], however, and was easily beaten. When Ash found Rockruff, he tried to stop it from running away again, but failed. The next day, Rockruff was walking on a cliffside when it got startled by a {{p|Fearow}}, causing it to fall down into a river. The injured Puppy Pokémon was later found by Olivia and Gladion's Lycanroc, who brought it to the [[Ruins of Life]], where Tapu Lele resided. When Ash, Professor Kukui, and Olivia arrived at the ruins, Tapu Lele used {{m|Draining Kiss}} to drain Ash and the two Lycanroc's energy, which it then used to heal Rockruff's wounds. Afterwards, Rockruff went to the edge of a cliff and began to howl as the setting sun {{wp|Green flash|turned green}}. It then evolved into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} Lycanroc, after which it got happily embraced by its Trainer and the rest of Ash's party.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Ash had Lycanroc use {{m|Continental Crush}} against Team Rocket, but the attack failed. After another attempt, Professor Kukui gave him some advice, which led to Ash training with {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. When Team Rocket showed up again and [[Jessie]] challenged Ash to a battle with her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, Lycanroc mastered Continental Crush and sent Team Rocket blasting off, much to their surprise.
[[File:Ash Lycanroc berserk.png|thumb|left|250px|Lycanroc going berserk after discovering it's fur is dirty]]
In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Ash discovered while washing Lycanroc that it was so proud of its appearance that it would fly into a rage and attack if its fur got dirty. Lycanroc attacked {{AP|Litten}} and Litten fought back, with Ash placing himself between his two errant Pokémon. This helped Lycanroc to calm down, and it was very apologetic towards Ash. Later, Ash used Lycanroc to battle Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}}, nicknamed Silvally, where it was outmatched by its opponent sheer power. During the battle Lycanroc was thrown into a nearby lake which drenched its fur, causing another rage during which it refused to listen to Ash's commands. Despite this, Silvally was still the stronger opponent and Lycanroc was easily held at bay before it could regain control of itself. After Lycanroc recovered, Ash and Gladion decided to continue the battle, but despite its best efforts, Lycanroc couldn't stand up to the power of Silvally's {{m|Crush Claw}} and was defeated.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Lycanroc fought alongside {{an|Lillie}}'s {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]], against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Clefable}}, which was under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control. It saved Lillie from Clefable's {{m|Moonblast}} with an {{m|Accelerock}}. After Lycanroc knocked back Clefable with a {{m|Rock Throw}}, Lillie reminded Clefable of the Clefairy doll they used to play with together, in order to free it from Nihilego's command. When Clefable began powering up a move, Lillie gestured Lycanroc and Snowy not to attack before freeing Clefable with a simple embrace.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was used to battle [[Nanu]], going up against his {{p|Krookodile}}. During the battle, Nanu had Krookodile deliberately anger Lycanroc, even going so far as to make it go berserk by dirtying its fur with {{m|Mud-Slap}}. Despite the furious attacks in its angered state, Lycanroc was defeated after Krookodile used {{m|Counter}} to send it flying before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}. Afterwards, at [[Acerola]]'s library, Lycanroc sulked over its defeat. It was cheered up after Ash asked Acerola to help him find a place where he could train for a rematch with Nanu.

In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Acerola took Ash to see {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]] so it could help him train. After some time, the duo managed to meet with Tapu Bulu and convince it to help them. At one point during their stay, it began raining, so Tapu Bulu decided to knock Lycanroc into a nearby pond, dirtying its fur and making it go berserk. By reminding Lycanroc of its time as a Rockruff and the bond they share, Ash finally managed to calm Lycanroc down. Impressed by this act, Tapu Bulu decided to battle Lycanroc. Though Tapu Bulu proved to be a powerful opponent, Lycanroc learned {{m|Stone Edge}} during the battle, after which Tapu Bulu called the battle off.

In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Ash faced Nanu in a grand trial battle, but was only allowed to use Lycanroc against all three of Nanu's Pokémon. After managing to defeat Nanu's Krookodile and {{p|Sableye}}, it went up against Nanu's {{alo|Persian}}. Throughout the battle, Nanu used his previous strategy of angering Lycanroc so that it would go into its red-eyed state. Ash, worried that Lycanroc could go berserk again, kept telling it to keep calm throughout the battle. Nanu, realizing the truth of the situation, decided to anger Ash himself by mocking his skill as a Trainer. In order to calm its Trainer down, Lycanroc chose to tackle Ash, revealing that it was in complete control of itself the entire time. Realizing that he let his anger and frustration from Nanu's insults go to his head, Ash apologized to Lycanroc and continued the battle. After an exchange of Z-Moves with Persian as well as its newly learned {{m|Counter}}, Lycanroc won the battle, allowing Ash to win a [[Lycanium Z]].

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the [[Ultra Beast]]s they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon. After the successfully executed {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} had left the two Ultra Beasts momentarily vulnerable, {{an|Lana}} and Lillie were able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them and thus complete the mission.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Lycanroc joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc during his battle against Gladion and his own Lycanroc. Gladion's Lycanroc was able to withstand Splintered Stormshards before defeating Ash's Lycanroc with {{m|Devastating Drake}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Lycanroc red eyes.png|thumb|250px|Lycanroc in full control of it's red-eyed state]]
Lycanroc is normally a playful, affectionate Pokémon that gets along well with both Ash and its previous caretaker, Professor Kukui. The first night Ash stayed with the Professor, Rockruff, Pikachu, and Ash were quickly able to befriend each other. As a Rockruff, like other members of its species, it likes to greet and show affection to others by rubbing up against them with the rocks on its neck, although it doesn't seem to be aware that it stings the recipient. Its affectionate personality was also shown in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where, despite the fact that {{AP|Litten}} was angry toward it whilst eating and whilst relaxing at home, it continued to eat and smiled back at Litten respectively. Lycanroc appears to take its failures rather personally. As a Rockruff in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', after knocking out {{AP|Rowlet}} in a fit of anger, it immediately came to its senses and regretted what it had done, and, despite ultimately winning against [[Olivia]], was still visibly upset in [[SM037|the next episode]]. At the end of ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was seen sulking in the corner of [[Acerola]]'s house after losing its battle with [[Nanu]]'s {{p|Krookodile}}, prompting Ash to give it a pep talk.

Although Rockruff lived with Professor Kukui before being caught by Ash, it was actually a wild Pokémon that Professor Kukui was taking care of. When Ash revealed this to his classmates at the [[Pokémon School]], {{Rotom}} added that Rockruff readily bond with humans even if they are not captured by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. After evolving, Lycanroc started taking great pride in its fur, as shown in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', and is shown to enjoy being groomed and taking baths despite being a {{type|Rock}}, as observed by Rotom. However, if angered enough, such as when its fur gets dirty, Lycanroc's eyes turned red, and it would fly into a rage, lashing out at whomever it thought was responsible. When this happened, Lycanroc became [[obedience|disobedient]] and ignored Ash's commands. This weakness caused problems later during Ash's battle with Gladion and {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}, and was later the cause of its defeat at the hands of Nanu and his Krookodile in ''Tough Guy Trials!''. In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Lycanroc was able to overcome this destructive habit with the help of Ash and the bond the two shared, remembering a memory it had when it played in the mud happily with Ash and Pikachu when it was still a Rockruff. After this, Lycanroc no longer goes berserk when its fur is dirtied, as seen in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', where it got a bit of mud on its face and only reacted with disappointment. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Lycanroc was revealed to have gained full control of its red-eyed state, allowing it to use it as a boost of power.

Lycanroc has a strong sense of smell as a Rockruff, which has been used to help find {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, Ash's missing [[Electrium Z]] and [[DJ Leo]]'s {{p|Dugtrio}}. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', it is revealed that Ash and Pikachu had to rely on Lycanroc's nose to guide them back from [[Ten Carat Hill]] after [[Nebby]] had fallen asleep. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Lycanroc is shown to spar with Litten on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

{{p|Rockruff}} first appeared in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'' under the ownership of [[Professor Kukui]]. It was first used to battle {{adv|Sun}}'s {{adv|Dollar}} at the [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. Initially, Rockruff had the advantage over Dollar due to Sun lacking the motivation to battle. Once Sun was given the proper motivation, he and Dollar easily defeated Rockruff, forcing Kukui to switch for {{p|Munchlax}}. Sometime later, it evolved into a Midday Form Lycanroc, and was used to try and prevent a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], only to be defeated.

'''Ash's Lycanroc''' (Japanese: '''サトシのルガルガン''' ''Satoshi's Lugarugan'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his forty-eighth overall. Before being caught by Ash, it lived with {{an|Professor Kukui}}, although it was never officially Kukui's Pokémon.

==History==
===Under Professor Kukui's care===
[[File:Ash Rockruff.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Rockruff]]
Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was a [[wild Pokémon]] that one day stumbled across {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. It was starving and left confused from another Pokémon's {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Professor Kukui gave it some [[Pokémon food]], which made Rockruff decide to stay at Kukui's house. From then on, Rockruff lived with Kukui, although he never {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a [[Poké Ball]].

Rockruff first appeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', where it had dinner and played with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was later seen the following day with Professor Kukui, watching the welcoming party {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}} had prepared for him. Kukui had planned to battle Ash and Pikachu with Rockruff, but the party was interrupted by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who challenged Ash to a battle instead.

In ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]'', Rockruff came home injured, causing Ash and Professor Kukui to investigate the reason behind its injuries. This led them to [[Clawmark Hill]], where they discovered that Rockruff had been fighting with other wild Pokémon, including a {{p|Magmar}}. With Ash's help, Rockruff was able to master {{m|Rock Throw}}, which helped it defeat Magmar. At the end of the episode, Professor Kukui encouraged Ash to catch Rockruff after seeing the bond the two had developed.

===With Ash===
In ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]'', Lycanroc, as a Rockruff, was used in its first official battle, in which it faced [[Hiroki]] and his {{p|Mudbray}}. During the battle, Rockruff performed {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} for the first time, which was able to defeat Mudbray.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', Rockruff was seen training with [[Ash's Rowlet]] and {{AP|Litten}}. Later, it witnessed its evolved form {{p|Lycanroc}} winning a battle against a {{p|Blastoise}}, which greatly impressed it. Ash later used Rockruff in his battle against {{an|Gladion}} in which it battled Lycanroc. Rockruff got quickly overwhelmed by Lycanroc's great speed and fierce moves, but was still able to battle. The battle was then interrupted by {{TRT}}, who captured Pikachu and Lycanroc.
[[File:Ash and Lycanroc.png|thumb|right|250px|Lycanroc and Ash]]
In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rockruff was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rowlet, battling [[Olivia]]'s Lycanroc and {{p|Probopass}}. Despite their opponents giving them tough times with their combination tactics, Rowlet eventually managed to defeat Probopass with {{m|Bloom Doom}}. Unfortunately, Rockruff, who was acting aggressively, was so desperate to battle Lycanroc by itself that it impulsively used {{m|Bite}} against Rowlet, accidentally knocking it out. Despite this setback, Ash encouraged Rockruff to use its fighting spirit, allowing it to outspeed and defeat Lycanroc, earning Ash a [[Rockium Z]]. Professor Kukui and Olivia then revealed to Ash that Rockruff's behavior was a sign that it was going to [[evolution|evolve]] soon.

In ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'', Rockruff went off by itself to train after remembering the aggression it demonstrated during Olivia's grand trial. While training, it encountered {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}}, who challenged it to a battle. Rockruff was no match for the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]], however, and was easily beaten. When Ash found Rockruff, he tried to stop it from running away again, but failed. The next day, Rockruff was walking on a cliffside when it got startled by a {{p|Fearow}}, causing it to fall down into a river. The injured Puppy Pokémon was later found by Olivia and Gladion's Lycanroc, who brought it to the [[Ruins of Life]], where Tapu Lele resided. When Ash, Professor Kukui, and Olivia arrived at the ruins, Tapu Lele used {{m|Draining Kiss}} to drain Ash and the two Lycanroc's energy, which it then used to heal Rockruff's wounds. Afterwards, Rockruff went to the edge of a cliff and began to howl as the setting sun {{wp|Green flash|turned green}}. It then evolved into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} Lycanroc, after which it got happily embraced by its Trainer and the rest of Ash's party.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Ash had Lycanroc use {{m|Continental Crush}} against Team Rocket, but the attack failed. After another attempt, Professor Kukui gave him some advice, which led to Ash training with {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. When Team Rocket showed up again and [[Jessie]] challenged Ash to a battle with her {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, Lycanroc mastered Continental Crush and sent Team Rocket blasting off, much to their surprise.
[[File:Ash Lycanroc berserk.png|thumb|left|250px|Lycanroc going berserk after discovering it's fur is dirty]]
In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', Ash discovered while washing Lycanroc that it was so proud of its appearance that it would fly into a rage and attack if its fur got dirty. Lycanroc attacked {{AP|Litten}} and Litten fought back, with Ash placing himself between his two errant Pokémon. This helped Lycanroc to calm down, and it was very apologetic towards Ash. Later, Ash used Lycanroc to battle Gladion's {{p|Type: Null}}, nicknamed Silvally, where it was outmatched by its opponent sheer power. During the battle Lycanroc was thrown into a nearby lake which drenched its fur, causing another rage during which it refused to listen to Ash's commands. Despite this, Silvally was still the stronger opponent and Lycanroc was easily held at bay before it could regain control of itself. After Lycanroc recovered, Ash and Gladion decided to continue the battle, but despite its best efforts, Lycanroc couldn't stand up to the power of Silvally's {{m|Crush Claw}} and was defeated.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Lycanroc fought alongside {{an|Lillie}}'s {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]], against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Clefable}}, which was under {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}'s control. It saved Lillie from Clefable's {{m|Moonblast}} with an {{m|Accelerock}}. After Lycanroc knocked back Clefable with a {{m|Rock Throw}}, Lillie reminded Clefable of the Clefairy doll they used to play with together, in order to free it from Nihilego's command. When Clefable began powering up a move, Lillie gestured Lycanroc and Snowy not to attack before freeing Clefable with a simple embrace.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', Lycanroc was used to battle [[Nanu]], going up against his {{p|Krookodile}}. During the battle, Nanu had Krookodile deliberately anger Lycanroc, even going so far as to make it go berserk by dirtying its fur with {{m|Mud-Slap}}. Despite the furious attacks in its angered state, Lycanroc was defeated after Krookodile used {{m|Counter}} to send it flying before finishing it off with {{m|Crunch}}. Afterwards, at [[Acerola]]'s library, Lycanroc sulked over its defeat. It was cheered up after Ash asked Acerola to help him find a place where he could train for a rematch with Nanu.

In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Acerola took Ash to see {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} at the [[Ruins of Abundance]] so it could help him train. After some time, the duo managed to meet with Tapu Bulu and convince it to help them. At one point during their stay, it began raining, so Tapu Bulu decided to knock Lycanroc into a nearby pond, dirtying its fur and making it go berserk. By reminding Lycanroc of its time as a Rockruff and the bond they share, Ash finally managed to calm Lycanroc down. Impressed by this act, Tapu Bulu decided to battle Lycanroc. Though Tapu Bulu proved to be a powerful opponent, Lycanroc learned {{m|Stone Edge}} during the battle, after which Tapu Bulu called the battle off.

In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Ash faced Nanu in a grand trial battle, but was only allowed to use Lycanroc against all three of Nanu's Pokémon. After managing to defeat Nanu's Krookodile and {{p|Sableye}}, it went up against Nanu's {{alo|Persian}}. Throughout the battle, Nanu used his previous strategy of angering Lycanroc so that it would go into its red-eyed state. Ash, worried that Lycanroc could go berserk again, kept telling it to keep calm throughout the battle. Nanu, realizing the truth of the situation, decided to anger Ash himself by mocking his skill as a Trainer. In order to calm its Trainer down, Lycanroc chose to tackle Ash, revealing that it was in complete control of itself the entire time. Realizing that he let his anger and frustration from Nanu's insults go to his head, Ash apologized to Lycanroc and continued the battle. After an exchange of Z-Moves with Persian as well as its newly learned {{m|Counter}}, Lycanroc won the battle, allowing Ash to win a [[Lycanium Z]].

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', while on the group's third [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, Ash decided to use Lycanroc's new Z-Move to weaken the [[Ultra Beast]]s they were facing, {{p|Blacephalon}} and {{p|Xurkitree}}, while they were distracted by the performance provided by the group's other Pokémon. After the successfully executed {{m|Splintered Stormshards}} had left the two Ultra Beasts momentarily vulnerable, {{an|Lana}} and Lillie were able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} them and thus complete the mission.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Lycanroc joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]'', Ash used Lycanroc during his battle against Gladion and his own Lycanroc. Gladion's Lycanroc was able to withstand Splintered Stormshards before defeating Ash's Lycanroc with {{m|Devastating Drake}}.

In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Lycanroc was revealed to have gained full control of its red-eyed state, allowing it to use it as a boost of power.

Lycanroc has a strong sense of smell as a Rockruff, which has been used to help find {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, Ash's missing [[Electrium Z]] and [[DJ Leo]]'s {{p|Dugtrio}}. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', it is revealed that Ash and Pikachu had to rely on Lycanroc's nose to guide them back from [[Ten Carat Hill]] after [[Nebby]] had fallen asleep. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Lycanroc is shown to spar with Litten on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer.

{{p|Rockruff}} first appeared in ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'' under the ownership of [[Professor Kukui]]. It was first used to battle {{adv|Sun}}'s {{adv|Dollar}} at the [[Iki Town]] festival tournament. Initially, Rockruff had the advantage over Dollar due to Sun lacking the motivation to battle. Once Sun was given the proper motivation, he and Dollar easily defeated Rockruff, forcing Kukui to switch for {{p|Munchlax}}. Sometime later, it evolved into a Midday Form Lycanroc, and was used to try and prevent a {{p|Celesteela}} and {{p|Guzzlord}} from reaching [[Hokulani Observatory]], only to be defeated.

==Blurb==

It’s a beautiful day on Melemele Island in the Alola region. Ash and his mom are on vacation there, along with Pikachu and Mimey, and having a great time!

Our hero is thrilled to meet so many new Pokémon, and his exploration leads him to Professor Oak’s cousin Samson, the principal of the Pokémon School. It’s a beautiful, sprawling campus where students work with Pokémon and learn alongside them! As Ash learns more about Alola region tradition from new friends Mallow and Professor Kukui, his interest grows. When vacation is over and his mom heads home, he decides to stay behind and become a Pokémon School student himself!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are in the middle of enjoying their vacation in the [[Alola]] [[region]], riding on a {{p|Sharpedo}}. They speed across and under the water, seeing many {{pkmn2|wild}} {{type|Water}} Pokémon, including a {{p|Pyukumuku}} that greets them with a friendly peace sign. After running out of air, they both resurface, but are immediately face-to-face with a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, which surprises Ash and causes him to fall into the water. Ash is relieved to have made it back to the surface, but is soon laughing along with {{an|Lana|a girl}} and her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} who saw amusement in his reaction. Ash is asked by a woman in charge of the [[Poké Ride|Pokémon Jet Ski]] if he enjoyed it, and she is relieved when he tells her it was fun, thanking the Sharpedo. On the beach, a {{AP|Litten}} is relaxing on the sand, washing itself, only to notice Ash and Pikachu racing in its direction. Failing to see the Litten, Ash steps on Litten's tail, annoying it as it hits him with {{m|Ember}} before leaving.

At the hotel, {{Delia}} is relaxing with [[Mimey]], drinking some Pinap Juice. Ash returns to them and tells Delia everything he and Pikachu did, which makes Delia happy to know they had fun. She says they have Mimey to thank for winning them their Alola vacation. Ash remembers them winning, leaving his Pokémon with {{an|Professor Oak}}, and flying to the Alola region. Delia tells them that they should get going, which confuses Ash until she reminds him that Professor Oak asked them to deliver an {{pkmn|Egg}} to his cousin in Alola.

Ash and Delia take a Pokémon Taxi and learn about Ride Pokémon from the driver. Ash remembers the Sharpedo he used earlier and figures out it was a Water Ride Pokémon. Ash then asks Delia where they are taking the egg, to which Delia tells him they're taking it to a place called the [[Pokémon School]]. Mimey then notices some {{Berries}}, informing Delia and they all stop off to take a look. Delia and Mimey are occupied with the berries, so Ash decides to look around and finds a {{p|Grubbin|Pokémon}} with its head sticking out from a hole. Ash crouches down, wondering what its name is, but it gets angry and pinches Ash's nose. After shaking it off, Ash and Pikachu, wanting to catch the Pokémon, give chase as it escapes underground through the town. Delia turns to show Ash the Berries, but notices he has disappeared.

Still chasing after the Pokémon, another {{p|Tapu Koko|strange Pokémon}} darts from tree to tree behind them. After chasing the Pokémon deep into the forest, Ash and Pikachu finally reach the hole in the ground, but find that it is empty. Suddenly, a [[Sitrus Berry]] falls from the sky. Looking up to the sky, Ash wonders where they are and where they were supposed to take the Pokémon egg. The mysterious Pokémon throws another berry down, but it hits something in the bushes. Ash and Pikachu look around the forest and suddenly hear a noise. They continue hearing the noise until they see {{p|Bewear|the Pokémon responsible for the noise}} emerge from the bushes and see it waving at them. It is large and friendly and Ash starts to wave back, calling it cute and approaching it, but his opinion changes immediately once he sees it effortlessly smashing down various tall trees in joy. As the Pokémon then approaches them for a hug, Ash and Pikachu rush off in the opposite direction, but it begins to chase after them, coming close to catching them until it is distracted by the mysterious Pokémon from earlier. Ash and Pikachu, after escaping the rampaging Pokémon, spot a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}} in the air and decide to follow it. Emerging from the forest, Ash and Pikachu arrive at a area with a huge building. Ash spots a {{an|Lillie|girl}} next to some new Pokémon, so he jumps over the fence and heads towards them, but the girl warns Ash to look out as, unknowingly to Ash, various {{p|Tauros}} being ridden by Trainers head straight for him, but before he can get out of the way, they all crash into him. {{an|Mallow|One Trainer}} orders her Tauros to stop, but it is too late as Ash has been trampled by the Tauros. The girl rushes over to Ash to ask how he is, to which Ash tells her that he is used to Tauros as he has caught {{AP|some|Tauros}} before. As one of the Tauros approaches Ash and the girl, only for the latter to back off in fear. It is revealed by a boy that Lillie is scared of Pokémon and can't touch them. After recognizing the girl who was fishing earlier, Ash is informed that he is at the Pokémon School and is shown around.

As Ash and Mallow are looking around the school, Ash is brought to the principal's office, being mistaken as a new student, but as Ash tries to clear things up, he sees his mother and meets the school's principal, [[Samson Oak]], Professor Oak's cousin. The meeting leaves Ash stunned as he learns of Samson's habit of making jokes using Pokémon names. Inside the office, Ash clears things up with Mallow as Samson calls Professor Oak to tell him he has received the egg safely, to which he thanks Delia. Mallow asks Samson if she can show Ash around the campus and shows Ash to the classroom first. Ash is introduced to the class teacher, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, who welcomes them happily. Ash then hears a roar from outside as he sees a group of strange people gathering.

{{an|Kiawe|A boy}} and his Charizard are approached by a group of people. Ash learns that they're part of a group known as [[Team Skull]], who bully people into battling them. [[Tupp]] makes a deal that the boy can leave if he wins their battle, but if he loses, they will get his Charizard and send out their Pokémon, {{DL|Zipp|Yungoos}}, {{DL|Tupper|Salandit}}, and {{DL|Rapp|Zubat}} to begin their battle, ordering him to tell Charizard to fight. Just then, Ash steps in to confront the group, telling them how unfair the battle is and joins the battle himself, introducing himself to the boy, who introduces himself as Kiawe, but tells Ash he doesn't need any help. As Ash sends in Pikachu, Kiawe sends out his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, and reveals that it is a Fire and Dragon type, and also a trusted friend of his. The members of Team Skull command their Pokémon to use {{m|Venoshock}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Leech Life}} respectively, but Pikachu successfully dodges the Venoshock with {{m|Quick Attack}}, as Kiawe comments on Pikachu's speed. The Yungoos and Zubat bite down on Turtonator's shell, them to be attacked by Turtonator's {{m|Shell Trap}}. [[Tupp]]'s Salandit is ordered to use {{m|Flame Burst}}, but Ash tells Pikachu to dodge and use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which connects with the three Salandit, which impresses the students, as well as the mysterious Pokémon watching from a tree. Kiawe tells Ash to leave the rest to him as he powers up his Turtonator using a crystal on his wrist, which allows his Turtonator to use a move known as {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which is strong enough to defeat the villain's Pokémon at once, causing them to retreat. Ash asks Kiawe what he just did, but Professor Kukui steps in to explain that they're known as [[Z-Move]]s, which are moves passed down in Alola after completing the [[island challenge]] on the four islands of Alola. Ash gets excited by all the things he has just learned, but suddenly sees a flying Pokémon, and once describing it to the group, they identify the Pokémon as {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian]] of [[Melemele Island]].

Later that night, Ash, Delia, Pikachu, and Mimey are enjoying a meal at a restaurant. Delia comments on the food, but Ash is thinking about everything that had happened earlier, which is noticed by Delia as she asks him if there was anything that happened to distract him. Ash then hears a noise echoing and recognizes the Pokémon in a tree, leaving the restaurant and immediately chasing after it. Searching around, he encounters it again, following and meeting it at a viewing point where he remembers it as Tapu Koko receives an object that he recognizes as what Kiawe was wearing. After approval from Tapu Koko, Ash puts the object on his wrist before watching Tapu Koko fly off away from him. Ash then stares at the [[Z-Ring]].

The next day, Ash is at Professor Kukui's house talking to Delia, who is back in [[Pallet Town]], over the video phone. Ash then remembers that he starts his first day of Pokémon School today and hurries off after saying goodbye to Delia. As Ash races up the road with Pikachu, the two of them look out to the ocean before they both have a race to the Pokémon School campus.

* When the Watch Disney XD site and Disney XD app were updated to include episodes from [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] on February 11, 2017, the final version of this and the following episode were made available, replacing the special preview previously available through the service.

===Errors===

* When Ash learns about Z-Moves and the island challenge, for a split second Pikachu is missing the red circles on his cheeks.
* When Ash goes helping Kiawe fight Team Skull, both his Japanese line {{tt|「まって！」|”Matte!”}} ("Wait!") and the dubbed line play simultaneously in the English and Italian dubs.
* The flashback to when Mimey won the ticket to Alola was not dubbed in the Russian dub, but was rather left in English.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text depicting {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}'s name when {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} is about to use the move is edited out in the dub.
* In the official debut of this episode's dub, a large portion of the original music is replaced with dub music. However, this was not the case in the preview airing, in which the episode used all of the original music.
* All of Pikachu's lines were re-dubbed.

'''Serena''' (Japanese: '''セレナ''' ''Serena'') is a [[Pokémon Performer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}, who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. Her {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was a {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} that she received from [[Professor Sycamore]].

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Serena]]
As a young child, Serena was sent to [[Kanto]], against her will, to attend a Pokémon Summer Camp, which was hosted by {{an|Professor Oak}}. One day, while at the camp, she got lost in a nearby forest and was startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, falling over and hurting her knee. Then, she met [[Ash Ketchum]], who was looking for the same Poliwag and spotted Serena. Noticing her knee injury, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her wounded knee, saying that it is a good-luck charm and that the pain would go away. However, when Serena's knee continued to hurt, Ash told her "Don't give up till it's over" and helped her up before escorting her out of the forest. Afterwards, she returned to [[Kalos]], bringing along the handkerchief and the memory of her meeting with Ash.

==={{series|XY}}===
Serena made her first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where she was forcibly woken up by her {{kal|Grace|mother}}'s {{p|Fletchling}}. In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', she attempted to practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing after being encouraged by her mother, a famous Rhyhorn racer herself. However, Serena's attempts at controlling her mother's Rhyhorn ended with her being sent crashing into the ground.

Later that evening, Serena complained about her earlier practice leaving several scratches on her face. She sat down to watch a news report on an incident that was occurring in [[Lumiose City]]. On the screen, she saw Ash trying to calm down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at Prism Tower and recognized Ash as a boy she had known in her childhood. The next day, while feeding Rhyhorn, Serena thought aloud that something interesting was going to happen and that it involved Ash.

She began her Pokémon journey in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' when she set off to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in Lumiose City. Immediately upon arriving, Serena questioned the Professor about the boy on television and he confirmed that it was indeed Ash Ketchum. However, to Serena's disappointment, Ash had already left Lumiose City for the [[Santalune City]] [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] the previous day. Serena was then offered to choose her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Serena chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, received a [[Pokédex]], and started her journey. Later that day, she continued to travel with Fennekin, but didn't want to camp out for the night after seeing some wild {{p|Venipede}}. She was attacked by a wild {{p|Vespiquen}} that she mistook for a person, only for Fennekin to scare Vespiquen away. Afterward, Serena met a [[Nurse Joy]], who told her where to find the nearest Pokémon Center.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', she finally reached Santalune City and found Ash during his [[Gym]] battle with [[Viola]]. She introduced herself to him, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}, after returning his backpack when it was left behind at the Gym. At the end of the episode, she asks Ash if he remembers her, at which point the episode abruptly ends.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she revealed that the two of them met at the Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger. Although Ash remembered the camp, he didn't specifically remember meeting Serena, much to her disappointment. Serena quickly regained her composure and reminded him that he once told her to never give up. Hearing these words helped Ash continue his training in order to win the rematch against Viola. During the rematch, Ash was visibly becoming overwhelmed by Viola's battling strategy, but Serena yelled at him to never give up. The inspiration that he had once given Serena was now being given to him, and these words encouraged him to continue the battle. At the end of the episode, after winning the Bug Badge, Ash asked Serena what her plans for the future were.

Serena officially began traveling with Ash and his friends in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''. This was when Serena revealed why she began her journey in the first place. After seeing Ash on TV, she decided that she would begin a Pokémon journey in order to return the handkerchief he used to mend her knee injury. After she returned the handkerchief, Ash remembered their encounter and called her the "girl with the straw hat".

Later on, Serena helped teach Ash how to ride and race on a Rhyhorn when he expressed an interest in Rhyhorn racing. While doing so, Serena's opinion on Rhyhorn and Rhyhorn riding quickly changed when the Rhyhorn were very friendly towards her. Later, while she was helping Ash learn to ride, she called out similar words Serena's mother had yelled to her during her Rhyhorn riding lessons at home. At that moment, Serena realized that she had misjudged the sport of Rhyhorn racing and that perhaps she did not hate it as much as she thought. Serena expressed in the same episode that she did not dislike Rhyhorn racing but that she wanted to find a goal that she likes even more.

The next day, Ash was captured by {{TRT}} and Serena had to help rescue him. This was when Serena had her first Pokémon battle, commanding Fennekin to use {{m|Ember}} on the criminals. At the end of the episode, she gave Ash a pouch of cookies, saying it was her way of thanking him for all he had done for her.

In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Serena learned from Clemont's father, [[Meyer]], that Clemont is the Lumiose City [[Gym Leader]]. Although initially angry with Clemont for keeping this secret from her along with Ash, she helped take back the [[Gym]] from the malfunctioning [[Clembot]]. She battled [[Clemont's Magneton]] with her Fennekin, but it managed to avoid Fennekin's attack, forcing {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Froakie}} to step in and defeat it. Later, she watched Clemont battle and defeat Clembot for the control of the [[Lumiose Gym]].

[[File:Miette and Serena.png|thumb|220px|Serena and Miette]]
In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Serena decided to make a [[Pokévision]] video. After watching some sample Pokévision videos in the Pokémon Center, Serena decided to make one of her own with her Fennekin. She rented a camera and began filming with Fennekin. The two of them dressed up in multiple outfits and the video featured them posing and baking together. However, during the filming of the video, Fennekin was captured by Team Rocket. Serena was able to rescue Fennekin, and in the process she remembered all that they had been through together. Her feelings of [[friendship]] were conveyed to her Pokémon, and Fennekin was able to learn {{m|Flamethrower}} in the battle against Team Rocket. After this event, Serena was able to finish her filming and was proud of her final product.

In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', Serena participated in the [[Poké Puff Contest]], but she did not emerge victorious. Before the event, she met another competitor named [[Miette]]. The two of them compared their [[Poké Puff]]s to see whose were superior, which led to a spark of rivalry between them. After comparing the two Poké Puffs, the group realized that Serena's Poké Puffs were more suited for [[human]]'s tastes than Pokémon's. This was part of the reason that Serena was not able to win the Poké Puff competition.

Serena had her first official Pokémon battle in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' against {{an|Shauna}}. Shauna and her friends, {{an|Tierno}} and {{an|Trevor}}, had seen the Pokévision video that Serena filmed in Lumiose City and recognized her from it. Serena accepted Shauna's challenge, and alongside Fennekin she faced off against Shauna and her {{p|Bulbasaur}}. Despite having a type advantage, Serena was unable to win. Serena talked with Shauna throughout the episode, and learned that Shauna was aiming to be someone who could put on performances with Pokémon. Her conversations with Shauna were a catalyst in helping her realize that she was the only one of her friends that didn't have a set goal. At the end of the episode, Serena sat alone brushing Fennekin's tail and wondering what her dream was.

In ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', Shauna informed Serena about [[Pokémon Showcase]]s and told her that she was planning on becoming a [[Pokémon Performer]], and this inspired Serena to become one as well. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Serena witnessed her first Pokémon Showcase. She saw a performance by {{an|Aria}}, the current Kalos Queen, and witnessed a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pancham}} causing a ruckus on stage. Later, outside, the Pancham stole Ash and Clemont's belongings. Serena managed to track Pancham down and witnessed how he put on a performance with no one around. This made her realize Pancham loved performing and wanted to show this to everyone. With this in mind she announced to her friends she wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. Battling with Fennekin, she managed to weaken and successfully catch it. After that, Serena gave Pancham a pair of her favorite sunglasses.

In ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', she met up with her mother, but at first didn't dare to tell her about her intention to be a Performer. Later, Serena finally told her mother about her dream and challenged her to a Rhyhorn race in order to prove her determination under the condition that if she lost she would go back home and train to become a Rhyhorn racer. However, her mother suggested that they race on {{p|Skiddo}}, knowing that Skiddo could sense the rider's feelings. Serena managed to beat her mother in the race when the Skiddo she was riding sensed her determination, and thus her mother gave her permission to become a Pokémon Performer.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', after helping her friends thwart Team Rocket's plot to crash the Pledging Tree festival and returning the stolen presents to their rightful owners, Serena gave a ribbon to Fennekin and new sunglasses to {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} in honor of the event. The group then found a present not addressed to a Pokémon, but to Serena herself. The present was a new dress for the upcoming Coumarine Showcase from her mother, care of Nurse Joy. At the end of the episode, Ash gave Serena the blue ribbon he had won in a giveaway from the Coumarine Monorail staff.

[[File:Serena Showcase debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Serena's Showcase debut]]
In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', she made her debut as a Pokémon Performer in the [[Coumarine City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Rookie Class, along with Shauna and Jessie. However, during the Theme Performance, Fennekin tripped over a bow that Serena had decorated her with. This eliminated her from the competition, and she watched as Shauna went on to win the Showcase. Although Serena first acted like she took the loss well, in private she was very upset. Early in the next morning, she walked out to a pier with Fennekin and Pancham, finally releasing her bottled up feelings and began to cry inconsolably. Having comfort and reassurance from her two partners, she drew scissors from her [[Bag|backpack]] and cut her hair to her shoulders after a reflection on her journey so far. Later, she donned a new outfit, featuring the ribbon she received from Ash, signifying her resolve.

After this, Serena continued to practice for her next Pokémon Showcase. However, in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', one of these training sessions went wrong and Serena ended up yelling at Fennekin and Pancham after they were fighting and Fennekin accidentally hit her with Flamethrower. Realizing what she had done and feeling useless as a Performer, Serena ran off in shame. She was later approached by a {{an|Aria|young woman calling herself Ariana}} and the two spent the rest of the day shopping together. During this time, Ariana, after hearing what Serena had been through, encouraged her to make up with her Pokémon and to remember the close bond they had, which Serena did later that evening. The two girls later had a [[Double Battle]], during which Fennekin evolved into Braixen, but the match was called off after Ariana was forced to leave when she got a call. The next day, Serena discovered that "Ariana" was in fact Aria all along (having previously felt she looked familiar) and secretly thanked her for all her help.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Serena participated in her second Pokémon Showcase, competing against Miette and a disguised Jessie. She passed through the first round, the Poké Puff Baking competition, with flying colors. However, prior to her Freestyle Performance, Jessie bumped into her, ripping her dress. Due to the never-give-up attitude she learned from Ash, as well as her own quick thinking and skill at tailoring, Serena was able to modify the dress just before she was called up. During the second round, she delivered a performance that left the audience very impressed. As a result, she was the most voted Performer, winning the competition and receiving her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}} despite the anxiety she still felt from her debut performance.

After arriving in [[Anistar City]] in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', Serena participated in her third Pokémon Showcase. In the Theme Performance, she was able to beat Nini and {{kal|Lily}} in the Pokémon Quiz segment, earning her a spot in the second round. However, before she could go on stage, her {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} had gone missing after being scared by the performance Jessie had delivered and she left to find her, almost missing her performance in the process. After reuniting with her and receiving her support, Serena gave her performance using choreography based on Eevee's dancing, which gave her enough votes to win the Showcase and obtain her second Princess Key.

In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', Serena participated in her fourth Pokémon Showcase. During the Theme Performance, she and her Pancham were able to bake a Poké Puff while entertaining the audience in the process. Thanks to their performance, Serena received enough votes to advance to the second round. In the Free Performance, Serena used her Braixen and Eevee. Everything was going smoothly until Eevee got distracted by the crowd and fell to the ground. Eevee was discouraged until Serena motivated her to keep on dancing. Serena and her Pokémon finished their performance without any more problems, but Eevee's mishap caused Serena to lose the Showcase. Later, Serena was seen comforting Eevee and assuring her they will do better next time.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena and Eevee attended a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]] with Clemont and Bunnelby as their partners. She was upset, because she couldn't go dancing with Ash. But when she battled alongside Ash against Miette and James, her Eevee began to evolve into Sylveon.

In ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', Serena entered the {{ci|Fleurrh}} Showcase Rookie Class in hopes of winning her third and final Princess Key. In the Theme Performance, in which Performers had to lure as many Rhyhorn as possible to their part of the field before time ran out, Serena easily defeated [[Concetta]] and [[Kazalie]] and advanced to the Freestyle Performance. There, she performed along with Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon. Their performance was well received by the audience and she was the most voted Performer of the round. As a result, she was declared the winner of the event, receiving the Fleurrh City Princess Key and qualifying for the Master Class.

[[File:Serena Master Class.png|thumb|250px|Serena in the Master Class]]
Serena entered the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' where she met up with all of her [[rival]]s. In the first round, she was grouped with [[Miette]] and [[Sara Lee]]. Her performance received the highest number of votes and she quickly made her way to the semifinals of the competition, where she found herself up against {{an|Shauna}} and [[Jessie|Jessilee]]. In [[XY113|the following episode]], she tried a risky move and ended up bruising her wrist. She was about to fall but Sylveon helped Serena using her feelers, saving the performance. She was the most voted Performer of the round and as such was allowed to move on to the finals, where she faced the reigning {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} {{an|Aria}}. Despite her best efforts, Serena couldn't defeat Aria, who retained her title. After that, Serena was approached by Palermo to become her protégé so she could become a better performer to have a chance at being the next Kalos Queen. Serena, however, declined the offer, telling her that her journey with her friends has helped her develop and until she finishes she can't go with her. Palermo told Serena to call her after she finishes her journey and gives Serena her card before leaving off.

In ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', Serena decided to pose as Ash who had gotten a cold from training with Greninja and Pikachu, to face off against an eccentric {{tc|guitarist}} named [[Jimmy (XY115)|Jimmy]] with Ash's Pikachu against his Pikachu, Spike. Her disguise pulls through and they ended up battling well against each other before almost getting exposed by Clemont and Bonnie. As she continued the battle, Pikachu and Spike were captured by Team Rocket, by which then Jessie managed to see through her disguise to her dismay. Upon Ash's recovery, she discarded her disguise and commanded her Pokémon to simultaneously attack Team Rocket, who were eventually sent blasting off by Pikachu and Spike in the end. She apologized to Jimmy for deceiving him and invited him to join her and the others for lunch.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Serena became concerned about Ash when he became depressed after his defeat in a Gym battle with [[Wulfric]]. When he ran off into the woods, she ran off on her own to find him. Serena found Ash in the middle of the woods, still despondent over his defeat. Serena began to talk with Ash, telling him she was helped by the advice he gave her when they were young, during their journey together, and while she was training for her Showcases. However, the agitated Ash yells at her, causing Serena to become furious at him for not being himself. In response, she throws a few snowballs at Ash before leaving. When it begins to snow, Serena grows concerned about Ash again and leads the others to go find him. Meanwhile, Ash reflects on his actions and Serena's words. Later in the episode, Ash apologizes to Serena for yelling at her and also tells her that he was able to "figure things out" thanks to her words of encouragement.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', she helped destroy some of the giant roots that were attacking Lumiose City, which [[Z2]] was causing. In [[XY133|the following episode]], she spearheaded a mission to rescue [[Chespie]] from [[Lysandre Labs]] with the help of [[Mairin]] and Professor Sycamore. While on their way to Lysandre Labs, a friendly news crew offered to take them there in their helicopter.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', she initially fought [[Mable]] when the latter attacked their helicopter using her {{p|Weavile}}, although {{Steven}} eventually came to help them. When [[Celosia]] attempted to stop them, the news crew revealed themselves to be Team Rocket and faced Celosia in battle, allowing Serena and the rest to save Chespie. She then battled multiple grunts with difficulty, but Steven managed to catch up and help take them out.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', she called Ash using the device Clemont gave them, asking him to find Clemont inside the gym. She, along with Mairin, Steven and Sycamore started investigating the research conducted by Team Flare. Before Steven could explain what he found, the [[Giant Rock]] was activated and absorbed Chespie, causing the building to collapse. The four of them tailed the Giant Rock towards [[Anistar City]] while Serena informed Ash, Alain, Clemont, Blaziken Mask and Bonnie about the current situation of Chespie. She, along with Sycamore and Steven then fought the Giant Rock using Braixen, Garchomp and Metagross. Her Braixen was thrown off Metagross by some of the vines from the Giant Rock, but Alain's Charizard managed to save her in time. After Ash managed to get Greninja launch a {{m|Water Shuriken}} at Chespie's location in the Giant Rock, she assisted Steven, Sycamore and Alain to fight their way through, but none of their attacks were able to hold it off.

[[File:Serena and Aria.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena and Aria]]
In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after all the Gym Leaders, including [[Diantha]], arrived to help Ash and his friends, Serena stayed behind to protect Mairin and Bonnie while the rest used their Pokémon's abilities to fight their way through the Giant Rock. A few large vines surrounded the three of them but Serena managed to have Braixen, Pancham and Sylveon to prevent them from getting hurt. Serena then rushed to protect Mairin as a vine was heading towards her direction, but was saved by Ash and Alain managing to rescue Chespie in time. All of them then tried to attack the Giant Rock but ended up injuring themselves instead. Squishy and Z2 managed to transform into the Complete Forme and battled the Giant Rock and defeat [[Lysandre]]. Serena then reunites with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie and watches Bonnie say goodbye to Squishy as it leaves along with Z2.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Serena helped Bonnie to clean the Lumiose Gym in preparation for the relighting of Prism Tower. Later, she went with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie to Professor Sycamore's Lab when they heard Alain was returning, only to find Mairin on the floor with decorations all over her. She helped Mairin bake the cake for the welcome party that Mairin decided to host. When Alain entered the lab, they all welcomed him and had a feast together with Professor Sycamore. Later, along with Ash, Alain and Clemont, Serena battled and managed to defeat Team Rocket who were trying to steal Pikachu again. The next day, she watched the battle between [[Clembot]] and [[Alvin]], with Alvin coming out as the winner. After the gym battle, Professor Sycamore gave out medals to Serena, her Pokémon, as well as to Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, Mairin, Alain and their Pokémon. All of them gathered and posed for the group photo with the medals.

At night, Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie watched as Prism Tower relights. Clemont asks what Serena is going to do to which she was hesitating to accept the offer Palermo gave earlier. Ash cheered her on and Serena happily thanks him for his constant support.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Serena saw on the news that the residents of Lumiose City were still recovering from injuries and decided to ask Professor Sycamore to help host a Pokémon Showcase event. Serena, Shauna, and even Jessilee put up a collaboration performance which made the residents smile and enjoy themselves. By witnessing how everyone started dancing along and smiling, Serena realized how much she actually loves performing and wants to do more. The next day, after saying goodbye to her mother, Ash asked Serena for a battle after seeing her lost in thoughts. Serena agreed as Ash said by battling, she would be able to decide what's next for her. During the battle, Serena was able to work well with Braixen and use her techniques well against Ash's Pikachu. Ash called off the battle and encouraged Serena that she always has her Pokémon by her side and he would be rooting for her. After the battle, Serena called Palermo, making her final answer to reject Palermo's offer. Serena told her seeing how everyone was smiling during her performance earlier that made her want to travel more and make more people smile like Aria and improve her skills. Palermo advised her to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s in [[Hoenn]] and Serena happily agreed. After that, she announced to the group that she will be going to visit other regions to further develop her skills as a Performer, starting with Hoenn.

[[File:Serena arriving in Hoenn.png|thumb|250px|Serena arriving in Hoenn]]
In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', just before she, Ash, and the others were heading back to the Lumiose airport, a big plant pops up. After Xerosic captures Clemont and when the van drives away, Ash-Greninja jumps in front of the van, which frightens Serena. Later, Serena goes with Ash and Bonnie to rescue Clemont by jumping from the top of a cliff and then getting rescued by Ash-Greninja's tongue. After Clemont gets rescued and Xerosic arrested, she, along with the others bid farewell to Ash's Greninja, which goes along with Squishy and Z2 to find the negative energy where those roots were spawning.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Serena officially left the group to follow Palermo's advice and travel the Hoenn region. At the airport, Serena told Ash she vowed to become better, especially for him the next time they met. She then leaned towards him, and the scene implies that she gave him a kiss, with Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, and Dedenne all shocked and Ash left momentarily stunned. Serena then thanked him for the journey and his guidance before leaving. She was last seen happily arriving in Hoenn.

===Other appearances===
Serena made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

==Character==
[[File:Grace and Serena.png|thumb|250px|Serena with her mother]]
Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious towards her [[mother]], {{kal|Grace}}. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Grace made her practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} riding, an activity Serena had hated doing. However, their relationship is also very loving as shown in later episodes. Although shown to have a strong will, Serena can be sensitive and insecure at times as seen in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. When she was frustrated with her Pokémon, she lashes out when at her limit and leaves to cool off in shame. She is also shown to lose her composure when pushed to a wall, becoming unsure of herself. Despite this however, Serena manages to pick herself back up by reminding herself to not give up, bringing up her confidence and also encouraging her Pokémon to do their best despite the odds. This is shown when two of [[Serena's Braixen|her]] [[Serena's Sylveon|Pokémon]] evolve from responding to her resolve. While battling isn't her primary focus, Serena has shown herself to be a competent battler, at least partially due to picking up Ash's battling style after seeing him battle countless times.

Serena was uncertain what paths or career to pursue in life and expressed little ambition towards becoming a full-time [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the early stages of her journey. However, in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', she began to think that not having an established goal was a problem for her future as a Trainer. During her time in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], she began seriously considering what she wanted to do with herself and {{cat|Serena's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} after seeing how passionate the Trainers around her were. It was in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'' that she decided that her goal was to be a [[Pokémon Performer]] and she has been diligently training both herself and her Pokémon ever since. After losing her first [[Pokémon Showcase]], Serena strengthened her resolve to do even better, and to symbolize this she cut her hair short.

Unlike with {{an|Dawn}}, Serena chose to not follow in her mother's footsteps as a Rhyhorn racer. However, she is shown to be a competent Rhyhorn racer and is quite knowledgeable about them. She possesses a unique charm when it comes to Rhyhorn, possibly due to her upbringing, as nearly all of those that she encounters gravitate towards her playfully as seen in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' and ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]''. Due to her mother's training, she is able to easily tame Rhyhorn and manage them well. Additionally because of those skills, she is also able to calmly guide a Mamoswine through a steep hill in ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]''.

Serena has been shown to have a phobia of the supernatural. When {{ashfr|the group}} entered an abandoned house where a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Espurr}} was staying in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'', she would assume the worst or that a supernatural being was in play whenever the group was spooked by anything. Likewise, in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', when {{Ash}} had been kidnapped by a {{p|Trevenant}}, she became worried that Ash would be eaten after {{an|Clemont}} told her the rumors surrounding the forest. This is seen again in ''[[XY072|Scary Hospitality!]]''. In such occasions, she often speaks without thinking, continually making assumptions about the scary houses that made Ash or Clemont cringe, and she would promptly cover her mouth when she realized what she had said. She has also been shown to be afraid of crossing unstable bridges across high ravines.

Serena seems to have a sisterly bond with {{an|Bonnie}}, as she is shown caring for her similar to the way Clemont does, such as protecting her in dangerous situations, comforting her, and cheering her up when she is sad. She also allows her to help her with various tasks, such as baking and grooming. Serena also gets along pretty well with Clemont, and they are normally seen taking care of the table together during meal times, with Clemont making the main dishes while Serena provides dessert. However, when it comes to his inventions, Serena has shown both a bit of marvel as well as caution, due to the usual end result being an explosion.
[[File:Serena Bonnie Pochette.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie's pochette modified by Serena]]
Serena has shown a deep [[AmourShipping|affection]] for Ash, having remembered how he found her when she was lost and alone in a forest when she was young, and how he kindly guided her out. After several years, she still recognized him after seeing him on [[television]]. After picking her [[starter Pokémon]] and starting her {{pkmn|journey}}, her first order of business was to meet up with him to return the handkerchief he once used to bandage her leg at the Pokémon Summer Camp all those years ago. Ash proved to be a source of inspiration for her with his never-give-up attitude and love for Pokémon.

Serena has a love for fashion and [[clothing]]. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent time carefully selecting an outfit and was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret. However, she promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother did not choose was certain to be the cuter one. She has also expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', she was eager to dress up in many different outfits while making her [[Pokévision]] video. Despite her love for fashion and performances, she rarely displays vanity or over confidence. She usually acts somewhat subdued and humble in both of these areas, though she is not above commenting that she thinks something she has done is "cute," usually when dressing up her Pokémon for a Showcase.

Serena has displayed some skill in tailoring, slightly altering her Rhyhorn racing gear in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', as well as being able to modify the furisode she wore in her second Showcase on-the-fly in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', when it was accidentally torn before her Free Performance. Serena also likes baking and is quite skilled at it. An example of this was demonstrated in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', when she stayed up late at night to bake cookies for Ash and the gang, which they seemed to enjoy. Also, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', she had baked some macarons for the group, but they were stolen by a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', she also participated in [[Poké Puff Contest|a Poké Puff baking competition]]. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', Serena showed that she knows how to dance when she attempted to help Ash with his training. This skill would later come in handy as she decided to become a Performer, having to choreograph the moves of both her Pokémon and herself when training for Showcases.

Serena's catchphrase is '''Ta-da!''' (Japanese: ジャジャーン! ''Ja-jān!''), which she usually says whenever she is presenting something.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Serena Party.png|thumb|250px|Serena and {{cat|Serena's Pokémon|her Pokémon}}]]
Serena and her Pokémon are shown to have a tight-knit bond with each other, as she cares for them greatly and likewise. Like {{an|Iris}}, Serena does not have a full [[party]] by the end of the series unlike the {{an|Misty|previous}} {{an|May|female}} {{an|Dawn|companions}}. Although she manages to gain her Pokémon’s obedience, it took time for Serena to fully utilize Eevee to her potential due to her shyness around others. After the events of ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'' Serena is able to manage her team effectively.

Serena frequently cares for her Pokémon's appearance as seen in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', by grooming their coats with her brush. She also {{pkmn|training|trains}} her Pokémon to execute their [[move]]s creatively for their routines in the Freestyle Performances for [[Pokémon Showcase]]s. While Serena does not regularly participate in {{pkmn|battle}}s, her Pokémon are somewhat skilled in battles against other Trainers as seen in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''.

==Trivia==

* Out of all of {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|traveling companions}}, Serena took the longest time to officially join Ash's group after being introduced, taking [[XY007|seven episodes]] to do so.
** She also took the longest time to reveal her goal in life, choosing to become a [[Pokémon Performer]] [[XY047|47 episodes]] after her debut.
* Serena is the first female traveling partner to not get herself or her bike shocked by {{AP|Pikachu}} at the start of the series.
** {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} all had their bikes electrocuted, while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Bonnie}} were directly shocked by Pikachu.
* Serena is the first character to have been invited into the group by Ash.
* Serena is the first of Ash's friends to have known him prior to the [[EP001|beginning of the series]].
* Serena is the first of Ash's companions who, as a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}, did not set out to obtain her first Pokémon at the introduction of the series. It took until ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' before she set out to Professor Sycamore's lab.
* Serena is the first of Ash's female companions to show some form of infatuation towards him.
* Serena is the only one of Ash's friends who has not met any of Ash's other friends that she did not travel with herself.
* Serena is the only main character to indefinitely change her outfit in the middle of a series, and the only one to permanently change her hairstyle at all.
* Serena's new appearance was first teased in preliminary images of a {{pkmn|Tretta}} [[Pancham (U1-01)|puck]] featuring her and her Pancham, which featured her in a silhouette.
** It was first teased for the dub in the trailer for ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.
* Serena's current outfit resembles clothing and a hairstyle from the [[Trainer customization]] feature found in Pokémon X and Y. The clothing Serena currently wears resembles the Red Fedora, Brown Riding Boots, and Black Knee Socks; and her hairstyle resembles the short hair with bangs.
* Serena's second [[Bag]] is designed after a {{ball|Heal}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, Serena is the first of Ash's friends to catch a Pokémon that another one of his friends also had: both Serena and {{an|May}} obtained an {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
** Had Serena succeeded in catching a {{p|Corsola}} in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', she would have achieved this status as well, since {{TP|Misty|another Corsola|Corsola}} is owned by Misty.

'''Serena''' (Japanese: '''セレナ''' ''Serena'') is a [[Pokémon Performer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}, who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. Her {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was a {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} that she received from [[Professor Sycamore]].

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Young Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Serena]]
As a young child, Serena was sent to [[Kanto]], against her will, to attend a Pokémon Summer Camp, which was hosted by {{an|Professor Oak}}. One day, while at the camp, she got lost in a nearby forest and was startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, falling over and hurting her knee. Then, she met [[Ash Ketchum]], who was looking for the same Poliwag and spotted Serena. Noticing her knee injury, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her wounded knee, saying that it is a good-luck charm and that the pain would go away. However, when Serena's knee continued to hurt, Ash told her "Don't give up till it's over" and helped her up before escorting her out of the forest. Afterwards, she returned to [[Kalos]], bringing along the handkerchief and the memory of her meeting with Ash.

==={{series|XY}}===
Serena made her first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where she was forcibly woken up by her {{kal|Grace|mother}}'s {{p|Fletchling}}. In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', she attempted to practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing after being encouraged by her mother, a famous Rhyhorn racer herself. However, Serena's attempts at controlling her mother's Rhyhorn ended with her being sent crashing into the ground.

Later that evening, Serena complained about her earlier practice leaving several scratches on her face. She sat down to watch a news report on an incident that was occurring in [[Lumiose City]]. On the screen, she saw Ash trying to calm down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at Prism Tower and recognized Ash as a boy she had known in her childhood. The next day, while feeding Rhyhorn, Serena thought aloud that something interesting was going to happen and that it involved Ash.

She began her Pokémon journey in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' when she set off to [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in Lumiose City. Immediately upon arriving, Serena questioned the Professor about the boy on television and he confirmed that it was indeed Ash Ketchum. However, to Serena's disappointment, Ash had already left Lumiose City for the [[Santalune City]] [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] the previous day. Serena was then offered to choose her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Serena chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, received a [[Pokédex]], and started her journey. Later that day, she continued to travel with Fennekin, but didn't want to camp out for the night after seeing some wild {{p|Venipede}}. She was attacked by a wild {{p|Vespiquen}} that she mistook for a person, only for Fennekin to scare Vespiquen away. Afterward, Serena met a [[Nurse Joy]], who told her where to find the nearest Pokémon Center.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', she finally reached Santalune City and found Ash during his [[Gym]] battle with [[Viola]]. She introduced herself to him, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}, after returning his backpack when it was left behind at the Gym. At the end of the episode, she asks Ash if he remembers her, at which point the episode abruptly ends.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she revealed that the two of them met at the Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger. Although Ash remembered the camp, he didn't specifically remember meeting Serena, much to her disappointment. Serena quickly regained her composure and reminded him that he once told her to never give up. Hearing these words helped Ash continue his training in order to win the rematch against Viola. During the rematch, Ash was visibly becoming overwhelmed by Viola's battling strategy, but Serena yelled at him to never give up. The inspiration that he had once given Serena was now being given to him, and these words encouraged him to continue the battle. At the end of the episode, after winning the Bug Badge, Ash asked Serena what her plans for the future were.

Serena officially began traveling with Ash and his friends in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''. This was when Serena revealed why she began her journey in the first place. After seeing Ash on TV, she decided that she would begin a Pokémon journey in order to return the handkerchief he used to mend her knee injury. After she returned the handkerchief, Ash remembered their encounter and called her the "girl with the straw hat".

Later on, Serena helped teach Ash how to ride and race on a Rhyhorn when he expressed an interest in Rhyhorn racing. While doing so, Serena's opinion on Rhyhorn and Rhyhorn riding quickly changed when the Rhyhorn were very friendly towards her. Later, while she was helping Ash learn to ride, she called out similar words Serena's mother had yelled to her during her Rhyhorn riding lessons at home. At that moment, Serena realized that she had misjudged the sport of Rhyhorn racing and that perhaps she did not hate it as much as she thought. Serena expressed in the same episode that she did not dislike Rhyhorn racing but that she wanted to find a goal that she likes even more.

The next day, Ash was captured by {{TRT}} and Serena had to help rescue him. This was when Serena had her first Pokémon battle, commanding Fennekin to use {{m|Ember}} on the criminals. At the end of the episode, she gave Ash a pouch of cookies, saying it was her way of thanking him for all he had done for her.

In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Serena learned from Clemont's father, [[Meyer]], that Clemont is the Lumiose City [[Gym Leader]]. Although initially angry with Clemont for keeping this secret from her along with Ash, she helped take back the [[Gym]] from the malfunctioning [[Clembot]]. She battled [[Clemont's Magneton]] with her Fennekin, but it managed to avoid Fennekin's attack, forcing {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Froakie}} to step in and defeat it. Later, she watched Clemont battle and defeat Clembot for the control of the [[Lumiose Gym]].

[[File:Miette and Serena.png|thumb|220px|Serena and Miette]]
In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Serena decided to make a [[Pokévision]] video. After watching some sample Pokévision videos in the Pokémon Center, Serena decided to make one of her own with her Fennekin. She rented a camera and began filming with Fennekin. The two of them dressed up in multiple outfits and the video featured them posing and baking together. However, during the filming of the video, Fennekin was captured by Team Rocket. Serena was able to rescue Fennekin, and in the process she remembered all that they had been through together. Her feelings of [[friendship]] were conveyed to her Pokémon, and Fennekin was able to learn {{m|Flamethrower}} in the battle against Team Rocket. After this event, Serena was able to finish her filming and was proud of her final product.

In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', Serena participated in the [[Poké Puff Contest]], but she did not emerge victorious. Before the event, she met another competitor named [[Miette]]. The two of them compared their [[Poké Puff]]s to see whose were superior, which led to a spark of rivalry between them. After comparing the two Poké Puffs, the group realized that Serena's Poké Puffs were more suited for [[human]]'s tastes than Pokémon's. This was part of the reason that Serena was not able to win the Poké Puff competition.

Serena had her first official Pokémon battle in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' against {{an|Shauna}}. Shauna and her friends, {{an|Tierno}} and {{an|Trevor}}, had seen the Pokévision video that Serena filmed in Lumiose City and recognized her from it. Serena accepted Shauna's challenge, and alongside Fennekin she faced off against Shauna and her {{p|Bulbasaur}}. Despite having a type advantage, Serena was unable to win. Serena talked with Shauna throughout the episode, and learned that Shauna was aiming to be someone who could put on performances with Pokémon. Her conversations with Shauna were a catalyst in helping her realize that she was the only one of her friends that didn't have a set goal. At the end of the episode, Serena sat alone brushing Fennekin's tail and wondering what her dream was.

In ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', Shauna informed Serena about [[Pokémon Showcase]]s and told her that she was planning on becoming a [[Pokémon Performer]], and this inspired Serena to become one as well. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Serena witnessed her first Pokémon Showcase. She saw a performance by {{an|Aria}}, the current Kalos Queen, and witnessed a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pancham}} causing a ruckus on stage. Later, outside, the Pancham stole Ash and Clemont's belongings. Serena managed to track Pancham down and witnessed how he put on a performance with no one around. This made her realize Pancham loved performing and wanted to show this to everyone. With this in mind she announced to her friends she wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. Battling with Fennekin, she managed to weaken and successfully catch it. After that, Serena gave Pancham a pair of her favorite sunglasses.

In ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', she met up with her mother, but at first didn't dare to tell her about her intention to be a Performer. Later, Serena finally told her mother about her dream and challenged her to a Rhyhorn race in order to prove her determination under the condition that if she lost she would go back home and train to become a Rhyhorn racer. However, her mother suggested that they race on {{p|Skiddo}}, knowing that Skiddo could sense the rider's feelings. Serena managed to beat her mother in the race when the Skiddo she was riding sensed her determination, and thus her mother gave her permission to become a Pokémon Performer.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', after helping her friends thwart Team Rocket's plot to crash the Pledging Tree festival and returning the stolen presents to their rightful owners, Serena gave a ribbon to Fennekin and new sunglasses to {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} in honor of the event. The group then found a present not addressed to a Pokémon, but to Serena herself. The present was a new dress for the upcoming Coumarine Showcase from her mother, care of Nurse Joy. At the end of the episode, Ash gave Serena the blue ribbon he had won in a giveaway from the Coumarine Monorail staff.

[[File:Serena Showcase debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Serena's Showcase debut]]
In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', she made her debut as a Pokémon Performer in the [[Coumarine City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Rookie Class, along with Shauna and Jessie. However, during the Theme Performance, Fennekin tripped over a bow that Serena had decorated her with. This eliminated her from the competition, and she watched as Shauna went on to win the Showcase. Although Serena first acted like she took the loss well, in private she was very upset. Early in the next morning, she walked out to a pier with Fennekin and Pancham, finally releasing her bottled up feelings and began to cry inconsolably. Having comfort and reassurance from her two partners, she drew scissors from her [[Bag|backpack]] and cut her hair to her shoulders after a reflection on her journey so far. Later, she donned a new outfit, featuring the ribbon she received from Ash, signifying her resolve.

After this, Serena continued to practice for her next Pokémon Showcase. However, in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', one of these training sessions went wrong and Serena ended up yelling at Fennekin and Pancham after they were fighting and Fennekin accidentally hit her with Flamethrower. Realizing what she had done and feeling useless as a Performer, Serena ran off in shame. She was later approached by a {{an|Aria|young woman calling herself Ariana}} and the two spent the rest of the day shopping together. During this time, Ariana, after hearing what Serena had been through, encouraged her to make up with her Pokémon and to remember the close bond they had, which Serena did later that evening. The two girls later had a [[Double Battle]], during which Fennekin evolved into Braixen, but the match was called off after Ariana was forced to leave when she got a call. The next day, Serena discovered that "Ariana" was in fact Aria all along (having previously felt she looked familiar) and secretly thanked her for all her help.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Serena participated in her second Pokémon Showcase, competing against Miette and a disguised Jessie. She passed through the first round, the Poké Puff Baking competition, with flying colors. However, prior to her Freestyle Performance, Jessie bumped into her, ripping her dress. Due to the never-give-up attitude she learned from Ash, as well as her own quick thinking and skill at tailoring, Serena was able to modify the dress just before she was called up. During the second round, she delivered a performance that left the audience very impressed. As a result, she was the most voted Performer, winning the competition and receiving her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}} despite the anxiety she still felt from her debut performance.

After arriving in [[Anistar City]] in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', Serena participated in her third Pokémon Showcase. In the Theme Performance, she was able to beat Nini and {{kal|Lily}} in the Pokémon Quiz segment, earning her a spot in the second round. However, before she could go on stage, her {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} had gone missing after being scared by the performance Jessie had delivered and she left to find her, almost missing her performance in the process. After reuniting with her and receiving her support, Serena gave her performance using choreography based on Eevee's dancing, which gave her enough votes to win the Showcase and obtain her second Princess Key.

In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', Serena participated in her fourth Pokémon Showcase. During the Theme Performance, she and her Pancham were able to bake a Poké Puff while entertaining the audience in the process. Thanks to their performance, Serena received enough votes to advance to the second round. In the Free Performance, Serena used her Braixen and Eevee. Everything was going smoothly until Eevee got distracted by the crowd and fell to the ground. Eevee was discouraged until Serena motivated her to keep on dancing. Serena and her Pokémon finished their performance without any more problems, but Eevee's mishap caused Serena to lose the Showcase. Later, Serena was seen comforting Eevee and assuring her they will do better next time.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena and Eevee attended a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]] with Clemont and Bunnelby as their partners. She was upset, because she couldn't go dancing with Ash. But when she battled alongside Ash against Miette and James, her Eevee began to evolve into Sylveon.

In ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', Serena entered the {{ci|Fleurrh}} Showcase Rookie Class in hopes of winning her third and final Princess Key. In the Theme Performance, in which Performers had to lure as many Rhyhorn as possible to their part of the field before time ran out, Serena easily defeated [[Concetta]] and [[Kazalie]] and advanced to the Freestyle Performance. There, she performed along with Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon. Their performance was well received by the audience and she was the most voted Performer of the round. As a result, she was declared the winner of the event, receiving the Fleurrh City Princess Key and qualifying for the Master Class.

[[File:Serena Master Class.png|thumb|250px|Serena in the Master Class]]
Serena entered the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' where she met up with all of her [[rival]]s. In the first round, she was grouped with [[Miette]] and [[Sara Lee]]. Her performance received the highest number of votes and she quickly made her way to the semifinals of the competition, where she found herself up against {{an|Shauna}} and [[Jessie|Jessilee]]. In [[XY113|the following episode]], she tried a risky move and ended up bruising her wrist. She was about to fall but Sylveon helped Serena using her feelers, saving the performance. She was the most voted Performer of the round and as such was allowed to move on to the finals, where she faced the reigning {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} {{an|Aria}}. Despite her best efforts, Serena couldn't defeat Aria, who retained her title. After that, Serena was approached by Palermo to become her protégé so she could become a better performer to have a chance at being the next Kalos Queen. Serena, however, declined the offer, telling her that her journey with her friends has helped her develop and until she finishes she can't go with her. Palermo told Serena to call her after she finishes her journey and gives Serena her card before leaving off.

In ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', Serena decided to pose as Ash who had gotten a cold from training with Greninja and Pikachu, to face off against an eccentric {{tc|guitarist}} named [[Jimmy (XY115)|Jimmy]] with Ash's Pikachu against his Pikachu, Spike. Her disguise pulls through and they ended up battling well against each other before almost getting exposed by Clemont and Bonnie. As she continued the battle, Pikachu and Spike were captured by Team Rocket, by which then Jessie managed to see through her disguise to her dismay. Upon Ash's recovery, she discarded her disguise and commanded her Pokémon to simultaneously attack Team Rocket, who were eventually sent blasting off by Pikachu and Spike in the end. She apologized to Jimmy for deceiving him and invited him to join her and the others for lunch.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Serena became concerned about Ash when he became depressed after his defeat in a Gym battle with [[Wulfric]]. When he ran off into the woods, she ran off on her own to find him. Serena found Ash in the middle of the woods, still despondent over his defeat. Serena began to talk with Ash, telling him she was helped by the advice he gave her when they were young, during their journey together, and while she was training for her Showcases. However, the agitated Ash yells at her, causing Serena to become furious at him for not being himself. In response, she throws a few snowballs at Ash before leaving. When it begins to snow, Serena grows concerned about Ash again and leads the others to go find him. Meanwhile, Ash reflects on his actions and Serena's words. Later in the episode, Ash apologizes to Serena for yelling at her and also tells her that he was able to "figure things out" thanks to her words of encouragement.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', she helped destroy some of the giant roots that were attacking Lumiose City, which [[Z2]] was causing. In [[XY133|the following episode]], she spearheaded a mission to rescue [[Chespie]] from [[Lysandre Labs]] with the help of [[Mairin]] and Professor Sycamore. While on their way to Lysandre Labs, a friendly news crew offered to take them there in their helicopter.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', she initially fought [[Mable]] when the latter attacked their helicopter using her {{p|Weavile}}, although {{Steven}} eventually came to help them. When [[Celosia]] attempted to stop them, the news crew revealed themselves to be Team Rocket and faced Celosia in battle, allowing Serena and the rest to save Chespie. She then battled multiple grunts with difficulty, but Steven managed to catch up and help take them out.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', she called Ash using the device Clemont gave them, asking him to find Clemont inside the gym. She, along with Mairin, Steven and Sycamore started investigating the research conducted by Team Flare. Before Steven could explain what he found, the [[Giant Rock]] was activated and absorbed Chespie, causing the building to collapse. The four of them tailed the Giant Rock towards [[Anistar City]] while Serena informed Ash, Alain, Clemont, Blaziken Mask and Bonnie about the current situation of Chespie. She, along with Sycamore and Steven then fought the Giant Rock using Braixen, Garchomp and Metagross. Her Braixen was thrown off Metagross by some of the vines from the Giant Rock, but Alain's Charizard managed to save her in time. After Ash managed to get Greninja launch a {{m|Water Shuriken}} at Chespie's location in the Giant Rock, she assisted Steven, Sycamore and Alain to fight their way through, but none of their attacks were able to hold it off.

[[File:Serena and Aria.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena and Aria]]
In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after all the Gym Leaders, including [[Diantha]], arrived to help Ash and his friends, Serena stayed behind to protect Mairin and Bonnie while the rest used their Pokémon's abilities to fight their way through the Giant Rock. A few large vines surrounded the three of them but Serena managed to have Braixen, Pancham and Sylveon to prevent them from getting hurt. Serena then rushed to protect Mairin as a vine was heading towards her direction, but was saved by Ash and Alain managing to rescue Chespie in time. All of them then tried to attack the Giant Rock but ended up injuring themselves instead. Squishy and Z2 managed to transform into the Complete Forme and battled the Giant Rock and defeat [[Lysandre]]. Serena then reunites with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie and watches Bonnie say goodbye to Squishy as it leaves along with Z2.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Serena helped Bonnie to clean the Lumiose Gym in preparation for the relighting of Prism Tower. Later, she went with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie to Professor Sycamore's Lab when they heard Alain was returning, only to find Mairin on the floor with decorations all over her. She helped Mairin bake the cake for the welcome party that Mairin decided to host. When Alain entered the lab, they all welcomed him and had a feast together with Professor Sycamore. Later, along with Ash, Alain and Clemont, Serena battled and managed to defeat Team Rocket who were trying to steal Pikachu again. The next day, she watched the battle between [[Clembot]] and [[Alvin]], with Alvin coming out as the winner. After the gym battle, Professor Sycamore gave out medals to Serena, her Pokémon, as well as to Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, Mairin, Alain and their Pokémon. All of them gathered and posed for the group photo with the medals.

At night, Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie watched as Prism Tower relights. Clemont asks what Serena is going to do to which she was hesitating to accept the offer Palermo gave earlier. Ash cheered her on and Serena happily thanks him for his constant support.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Serena saw on the news that the residents of Lumiose City were still recovering from injuries and decided to ask Professor Sycamore to help host a Pokémon Showcase event. Serena, Shauna, and even Jessilee put up a collaboration performance which made the residents smile and enjoy themselves. By witnessing how everyone started dancing along and smiling, Serena realized how much she actually loves performing and wants to do more. The next day, after saying goodbye to her mother, Ash asked Serena for a battle after seeing her lost in thoughts. Serena agreed as Ash said by battling, she would be able to decide what's next for her. During the battle, Serena was able to work well with Braixen and use her techniques well against Ash's Pikachu. Ash called off the battle and encouraged Serena that she always has her Pokémon by her side and he would be rooting for her. After the battle, Serena called Palermo, making her final answer to reject Palermo's offer. Serena told her seeing how everyone was smiling during her performance earlier that made her want to travel more and make more people smile like Aria and improve her skills. Palermo advised her to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s in [[Hoenn]] and Serena happily agreed. After that, she announced to the group that she will be going to visit other regions to further develop her skills as a Performer, starting with Hoenn.

[[File:Serena arriving in Hoenn.png|thumb|250px|Serena arriving in Hoenn]]
In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', just before she, Ash, and the others were heading back to the Lumiose airport, a big plant pops up. After Xerosic captures Clemont and when the van drives away, Ash-Greninja jumps in front of the van, which frightens Serena. Later, Serena goes with Ash and Bonnie to rescue Clemont by jumping from the top of a cliff and then getting rescued by Ash-Greninja's tongue. After Clemont gets rescued and Xerosic arrested, she, along with the others bid farewell to Ash's Greninja, which goes along with Squishy and Z2 to find the negative energy where those roots were spawning.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Serena officially left the group to follow Palermo's advice and travel the Hoenn region. At the airport, Serena told Ash she vowed to become better, especially for him the next time they met. She then leaned towards him, and the scene implies that she gave him a kiss, with Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, and Dedenne all shocked and Ash left momentarily stunned. Serena then thanked him for the journey and his guidance before leaving. She was last seen happily arriving in Hoenn.

===Other appearances===
Serena made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

==Character==
[[File:Grace and Serena.png|thumb|250px|Serena with her mother]]
Serena has proven to be a kind and polite girl but she can also be openly rebellious towards her [[mother]], {{kal|Grace}}. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to, and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Grace made her practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} riding, an activity Serena had hated doing. However, their relationship is also very loving as shown in later episodes. Although shown to have a strong will, Serena can be sensitive and insecure at times as seen in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. When she was frustrated with her Pokémon, she lashes out when at her limit and leaves to cool off in shame. She is also shown to lose her composure when pushed to a wall, becoming unsure of herself. Despite this however, Serena manages to pick herself back up by reminding herself to not give up, bringing up her confidence and also encouraging her Pokémon to do their best despite the odds. This is shown when two of [[Serena's Braixen|her]] [[Serena's Sylveon|Pokémon]] evolve from responding to her resolve. While battling isn't her primary focus, Serena has shown herself to be a competent battler, at least partially due to picking up Ash's battling style after seeing him battle countless times.

Serena was uncertain what paths or career to pursue in life and expressed little ambition towards becoming a full-time [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the early stages of her journey. However, in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', she began to think that not having an established goal was a problem for her future as a Trainer. During her time in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], she began seriously considering what she wanted to do with herself and {{cat|Serena's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} after seeing how passionate the Trainers around her were. It was in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'' that she decided that her goal was to be a [[Pokémon Performer]] and she has been diligently training both herself and her Pokémon ever since. After losing her first [[Pokémon Showcase]], Serena strengthened her resolve to do even better, and to symbolize this she cut her hair short.

[[File:Sky Trainer Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena's {{tc|Sky Trainer}} outfit]]
Unlike with {{an|Dawn}}, Serena chose to not follow in her mother's footsteps as a Rhyhorn racer. However, she is shown to be a competent Rhyhorn racer and is quite knowledgeable about them. She possesses a unique charm when it comes to Rhyhorn, possibly due to her upbringing, as nearly all of those that she encounters gravitate towards her playfully as seen in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' and ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]''. Due to her mother's training, she is able to easily tame Rhyhorn and manage them well. Additionally because of those skills, she is also able to calmly guide a Mamoswine through a steep hill in ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]''.

Serena has been shown to have a phobia of the supernatural. When {{ashfr|the group}} entered an abandoned house where a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Espurr}} was staying in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'', she would assume the worst or that a supernatural being was in play whenever the group was spooked by anything. Likewise, in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', when {{Ash}} had been kidnapped by a {{p|Trevenant}}, she became worried that Ash would be eaten after {{an|Clemont}} told her the rumors surrounding the forest. This is seen again in ''[[XY072|Scary Hospitality!]]''. In such occasions, she often speaks without thinking, continually making assumptions about the scary houses that made Ash or Clemont cringe, and she would promptly cover her mouth when she realized what she had said. She has also been shown to be afraid of crossing unstable bridges across high ravines.

Serena seems to have a sisterly bond with {{an|Bonnie}}, as she is shown caring for her similar to the way Clemont does, such as protecting her in dangerous situations, comforting her, and cheering her up when she is sad. She also allows her to help her with various tasks, such as baking and grooming. Serena also gets along pretty well with Clemont, and they are normally seen taking care of the table together during meal times, with Clemont making the main dishes while Serena provides dessert. However, when it comes to his inventions, Serena has shown both a bit of marvel as well as caution, due to the usual end result being an explosion.
[[File:Serena Bonnie Pochette.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie's pochette modified by Serena]]
Serena has shown a deep [[AmourShipping|affection]] for Ash, having remembered how he found her when she was lost and alone in a forest when she was young, and how he kindly guided her out. After several years, she still recognized him after seeing him on [[television]]. After picking her [[starter Pokémon]] and starting her {{pkmn|journey}}, her first order of business was to meet up with him to return the handkerchief he once used to bandage her leg at the Pokémon Summer Camp all those years ago. Ash proved to be a source of inspiration for her with his never-give-up attitude and love for Pokémon.

Serena has a love for fashion and [[clothing]]. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent time carefully selecting an outfit and was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret. However, she promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother did not choose was certain to be the cuter one. She has also expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', she was eager to dress up in many different outfits while making her [[Pokévision]] video. Despite her love for fashion and performances, she rarely displays vanity or over confidence. She usually acts somewhat subdued and humble in both of these areas, though she is not above commenting that she thinks something she has done is "cute," usually when dressing up her Pokémon for a Showcase.

Serena has displayed some skill in tailoring, slightly altering her Rhyhorn racing gear in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', as well as being able to modify the furisode she wore in her second Showcase on-the-fly in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', when it was accidentally torn before her Free Performance. Serena also likes baking and is quite skilled at it. An example of this was demonstrated in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', when she stayed up late at night to bake cookies for Ash and the gang, which they seemed to enjoy. Also, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', she had baked some macarons for the group, but they were stolen by a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', she also participated in [[Poké Puff Contest|a Poké Puff baking competition]]. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', Serena showed that she knows how to dance when she attempted to help Ash with his training. This skill would later come in handy as she decided to become a Performer, having to choreograph the moves of both her Pokémon and herself when training for Showcases.

Serena's catchphrase is '''Ta-da!''' (Japanese: ジャジャーン! ''Ja-jān!''), which she usually says whenever she is presenting something.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Serena Party.png|thumb|250px|Serena and {{cat|Serena's Pokémon|her Pokémon}}]]
Serena and her Pokémon are shown to have a tight-knit bond with each other, as she cares for them greatly and likewise. Like {{an|Iris}}, Serena does not have a full [[party]] by the end of the series unlike the {{an|Misty|previous}} {{an|May|female}} {{an|Dawn|companions}}. Although she manages to gain her Pokémon’s obedience, it took time for Serena to fully utilize Eevee to her potential due to her shyness around others. After the events of ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'' Serena is able to manage her team effectively.

Serena frequently cares for her Pokémon's appearance as seen in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', by grooming their coats with her brush. She also {{pkmn|training|trains}} her Pokémon to execute their [[move]]s creatively for their routines in the Freestyle Performances for [[Pokémon Showcase]]s. While Serena does not regularly participate in {{pkmn|battle}}s, her Pokémon are somewhat skilled in battles against other Trainers as seen in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''.

She and Rhyhorn quickly ran past the racers on the track, before going off-track and riding inside a forest.

==Trivia==

* Out of all of {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|traveling companions}}, Serena took the longest time to officially join Ash's group after being introduced, taking [[XY007|seven episodes]] to do so.
** She also took the longest time to reveal her goal in life, choosing to become a [[Pokémon Performer]] [[XY047|47 episodes]] after her debut.
* Serena is the first female traveling partner to not get herself or her bike shocked by {{AP|Pikachu}} at the start of the series.
** {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} all had their bikes electrocuted, while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Bonnie}} were directly shocked by Pikachu.
* Serena is the first character to have been invited into the group by Ash.
* Serena is the first of Ash's friends to have known him prior to the [[EP001|beginning of the series]].
* Serena is the first of Ash's companions who, as a new {{pkmn|Trainer}}, did not set out to obtain her first Pokémon at the introduction of the series. It took until ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' before she set out to Professor Sycamore's lab.
* Serena is the first of Ash's female companions to show some form of infatuation towards him.
* Serena is the only one of Ash's friends who has not met any of Ash's other friends that she did not travel with herself.
* Serena is the only main character to indefinitely change her outfit in the middle of a series, and the only one to permanently change her hairstyle at all.
* Serena's new appearance was first teased in preliminary images of a {{pkmn|Tretta}} [[Pancham (U1-01)|puck]] featuring her and her Pancham, which featured her in a silhouette.
** It was first teased for the dub in the trailer for ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.
* Serena's current outfit resembles clothing and a hairstyle from the [[Trainer customization]] feature found in Pokémon X and Y. The clothing Serena currently wears resembles the Red Fedora, Brown Riding Boots, and Black Knee Socks; and her hairstyle resembles the short hair with bangs.
* Serena's second [[Bag]] is designed after a {{ball|Heal}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, Serena is the first of Ash's friends to catch a Pokémon that another one of his friends also had: both Serena and {{an|May}} obtained an {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
** Had Serena succeeded in catching a {{p|Corsola}} in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', she would have achieved this status as well, since {{TP|Misty|another Corsola|Corsola}} is owned by Misty.

Ash's friends

2019-05-03T06:50:34Z

GyaradosBreak: /* Lillie */

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''
----
[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Misty===
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|170px|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and again from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' until ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' to "escort" her back home. She met up with her friends [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon|one more time]]. She and Brock also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where Ash and his classmates from [[Pokémon School]] visited Kanto, and returned in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', where she and Brock visited [[Alola]].

===Brock===
[[File:Brock SM.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Brock}}]]
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' to ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where Ash and his classmates from [[Pokémon School]] visited Kanto, and returned in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', where he and Misty visited [[Alola]].

{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===

{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', after which she went off to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests there. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] from ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' until ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}, the daughter of a [[Top Coordinator]] wishing to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]]. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Meowth===

{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{an|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

===Nebby===
[[File:Nebby Solgaleo anime.png|thumb|250px|[[Nebby]]]]
{{main|Nebby}}
Nebby was a {{p|Cosmog}} that was briefly entrusted to Ash from ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'' by {{p|Lunala}}, {{p|Solgaleo}} and the [[Guardian deities]]. It was targeted by [[Faba]] due to its ability to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and then in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', with the help of the Guardian deities, it evolved once more into {{p|Solgaleo}}. After Ash and his friends' adventures in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] it disappeared in ''10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!'', making a short reappearance in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Nebby would later appear in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', being pursued by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}. In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Nebby temporarily reunited with the [[Ultra Guardians]], but after freeing {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} from Necrozma's absorption, Nebby was absorbed instead. It was freed during the final confrontation in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it combined its power with Ash, {{an|Gladion}}, and Lunala to give enough Ultra Aura to Necrozma to return it to its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra form]]. After Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} said goodbye to {{AP|Poipole}}, Nebby and Lunala traveled back to Alola with the Ultra Guardians.

{{main|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Shaymin|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime → Shaymin}}
Shaymin is a [[wild Pokémon]] that {{an|Mallow}} is presently caring for. It first appeared in [[SM108]], where it encountered Mallow after being drawn to her strong feelings of gratitude towards [[Mallow's mother|her late mother]]. Mallow then decided to take it in until the time came for it to turn into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} and fly away.

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''

[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Misty===
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|170px|{{an|Misty}}]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty joined Ash in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', traveling with him because she wanted him to replace her [[Bicycle|bike]], which was destroyed by his {{AP|Pikachu}}. She would continuously travel with him until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', when she returned to [[Cerulean City]] nearly full-time to lead [[Cerulean Gym|her family's Gym]], though she briefly traveled to [[Hoenn]] and met up with Ash's {{series2|Advanced Generation}} group in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' and ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', and again from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' until ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' to "escort" her back home. She met up with her friends [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon|one more time]]. She and Brock also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where Ash and his classmates from [[Pokémon School]] visited Kanto, and returned in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', where she and Brock visited [[Alola]].

===Brock===
[[File:Brock SM.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Brock}}]]
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' to ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where Ash and his classmates from [[Pokémon School]] visited Kanto, and returned in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', where he and Misty visited [[Alola]].

===Tracey Sketchit===
[[File:TraceyEP.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}]]
{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===
[[File:May AG 2.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', after which she went off to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests there. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] from ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' until ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

===Max===
[[File:MaxAG.png|thumb|200px|[[Max]]]]
{{main|Max}}
Max is {{an|May}}'s younger brother. He does not have any Pokémon of his own because he is too young, but he often befriends certain Pokémon. He traveled with the group from ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]'', when he went home to [[Petalburg City]]. However, he made a promise to Ash that as soon as he got his own Pokémon, he would {{pkmn|battle}} Ash.

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}, the daughter of a [[Top Coordinator]] wishing to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]]. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

===Meowth===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}}]]
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{an|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

===Nebby===
[[File:Nebby Solgaleo anime.png|thumb|250px|[[Nebby]]]]
{{main|Nebby}}
Nebby was a {{p|Cosmog}} that was briefly entrusted to Ash from ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'' by {{p|Lunala}}, {{p|Solgaleo}} and the [[Guardian deities]]. It was targeted by [[Faba]] due to its ability to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and then in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', with the help of the Guardian deities, it evolved once more into {{p|Solgaleo}}. After Ash and his friends' adventures in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] it disappeared in ''10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!'', making a short reappearance in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Nebby would later appear in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', being pursued by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}. In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Nebby temporarily reunited with the [[Ultra Guardians]], but after freeing {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} from Necrozma's absorption, Nebby was absorbed instead. It was freed during the final confrontation in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it combined its power with Ash, {{an|Gladion}}, and Lunala to give enough Ultra Aura to Necrozma to return it to its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra form]]. After Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} said goodbye to {{AP|Poipole}}, Nebby and Lunala traveled back to Alola with the Ultra Guardians.

''This article is about Ash's main and temporary traveling companions. If you were looking for a general list of people Ash has met on his journey, see [[Character of the day]].''

[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|270px|thumb|{{Ash}} and his classmates from the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, (clockwise from bottom left) {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Lillie}}.]]
'''Ash's friends''' are the traveling companions that [[Ash Ketchum]] has had with him on his journey on his quest to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. While he started his journey alone, many people have joined his party while touring the [[Pokémon world]]; usually at least one new companion joins—and another leaves—every time a new region is visited.

[[Johto]] is the only region where Ash did not acquire a new friend that would travel with him, excluding {{an|Brock}}, who came back after his [[S02|absence]].

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, Ash's friends are not traveling companions, but rather classmates, since Ash is attending the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. Later in the series, Ash and his Alolan friends form a team under the supervision of [[Aether Foundation]], known as the [[Ultra Guardians]].

===Brock===
[[File:Brock SM.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Brock}}]]
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
Brock first joined Ash in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' after Ash {{pkmn|battle}}d him in the [[Pewter City]] [[Pewter Gym|Gym]]. After his father {{ka|Flint}} offered to take over the duties of [[Gym Leader]], Brock followed Ash through [[Kanto]], leaving briefly from ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' to ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' to work for [[Professor Ivy]]. In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Brock returned to be with Ash and {{an|Misty}} until ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', though he, unlike Misty, would return shortly, in ''[[AG004|You Can Never Taillow]]'', sticking with Ash until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start is!]]''. He would again return in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and so traveled through [[Sinnoh]] with Ash until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. He and Misty also appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where Ash and his classmates from [[Pokémon School]] visited Kanto, and returned in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'' and ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', where he and Misty visited [[Alola]].

{{main|Tracey Sketchit}}
After {{an|Brock}} left to work for Professor Ivy, Ash's traveling group was down to two, as it had been for the first five episodes of [[Kanto]]. However, this would not last very long, as in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' Ash met a [[Pokémon watcher]] named {{Tracey}} who essentially invited himself along for the rest of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. Traveling with Ash, he wished to attain his ultimate goal of meeting {{an|Professor Oak}}, which he did when Ash returned to Kanto in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. After this, he remained in [[Pallet Town]] to be Professor Oak's assistant in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]''.

===May===
[[File:May AG 2.png|thumb|{{an|May}}]]
{{main|May (anime)}}
Ash may have traveled to [[Hoenn]] alone; however, shortly after his arrival, he met {{an|May}}, a young girl who desired to travel around the world and a fellow Trainer who was just starting her journey, and then ended up destroying her bike just like that of Misty. Though she initially did not care for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she eventually found [[Pokémon Contest]]s, in which she competed while in Hoenn and then later in [[Kanto]]. May traveled with Ash through the entire {{series2|Advanced Generation}} saga, from ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', after which she went off to [[Johto]] to compete in Contests there. She, like {{an|Misty}}, reappeared briefly during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] from ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' until ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

Max is {{an|May}}'s younger brother. He does not have any Pokémon of his own because he is too young, but he often befriends certain Pokémon. He traveled with the group from ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]'' until ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]'', when he went home to [[Petalburg City]]. However, he made a promise to Ash that as soon as he got his own Pokémon, he would {{pkmn|battle}} Ash.

Like his journey into [[Hoenn]], Ash ventured to [[Sinnoh]] alone, where, in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', he would meet {{an|Dawn}}, the daughter of a [[Top Coordinator]] wishing to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]]. From that point, after saving [[Ash's Pikachu]] and having her bike fried in a similar way to May's and Misty's, Dawn would travel with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh, which she did until ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' when all three friends split up.

Dawn rejoins Ash's group in the {{series|Best Wishes}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' to compete in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Dawn would leave the group in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and travel to Johto to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]].

{{main|Sorrel}}
Sorrel is one of {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s traveling companions in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a continuity different from the main anime. He is a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose goal is to become a [[Pokémon Professor]]. He is interested in [[Legendary Pokémon]]. He met Ash and Verity when he chased after an {{p|Entei}}. Although he initially had no interest in interacting with them, he later met them again in a cave to shelter from a rain. The three Trainers became friends and decided to travel to the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] together, where {{an|Ho-Oh}} was said to reside. After meeting Ho-Oh, Sorrel left Ash and Verity to go on his journey and meet more Legendary Pokémon.

===Meowth===
[[File:Meowth Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}}]]
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
After reportedly being "disbanded" from Team Rocket in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found unconscious by [[Ash's Tepig]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. The group nursed him back to health and invited him to accompany them so as to protect him from Trainers wanting to capture the only talking {{p|Meowth}} in Unova. He used his ability to speak to humans and Pokémon many times during their travels together.

He later revealed their travels to be a facade to gain their trust for a mission, and reunited with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]''.

He would later team up with Ash and his friends for real in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'' after losing the rest of Team Rocket to the control of the mysterious [[Officer Jenny|Madame X]] and her {{an|Malamar}}, though the team was initially distrusting of him until seeing Madame X in action for themselves. Ash and Meowth were eventually the only ones not {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} by Malamar, thanks to Meowth using {{m|Fury Swipes}} on both their faces. After the Malamar was revealed to be the true mastermind and was soon after defeated, Meowth returned to the newly freed Team Rocket.

Nebby would later appear in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', being pursued by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}. In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Nebby temporarily reunited with the [[Ultra Guardians]], but after freeing {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} from Necrozma's absorption, Nebby was absorbed instead. It was freed during the final confrontation in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it combined its power with Ash, {{an|Gladion}}, and Lunala to give enough Ultra Aura to Necrozma to return it to its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra form]]. After Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} said goodbye to {{AP|Poipole}}, Nebby and Lunala traveled back to Alola with the Ultra Guardians.

AmourShipping

2019-05-03T06:35:53Z

GyaradosBreak: /* Similarities */

{{ship}}
----
[[File:Satosere.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Serena meet up for the first time in years]]
'''AmourShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere'') is the belief that {{an|Serena}} and {{Ash}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name is derived from the French word "''amour''", meaning "love". It was chosen as the name because the [[Kalos]] region is inspired by {{wp|France}} (known for its romantic atmosphere) and Serena has a [[Canon|canonical]] crush on Ash.

This [[Shipping|ship]] is one of the most popular in the [[anime|Pokémon anime]], much like other ships involving Ash and one of his female [[Ash's friends|friends]], such as {{s|Poké}}, {{s|Advance}}, and {{s|Pearl}}. However, AmourShipping is unique compared to many shippings because of the confirmation of Serena's crush on Ash, rather than fans presuming each other's feelings based on hints and inconclusive evidence. One other thing that sets it apart is the fact that Serena is the only one of Ash's traveling companions to ever kiss him. The shipping's popularity began before the premiere of the {{series|XY}} due to the revelation that Serena knew Ash in their childhood.

==Anime evidence==
===Serena's hints===
*''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''
:*When Serena sees a live news report of Ash trying to calm a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} on [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], she silently looks on, seemingly in awe at Ash's bravery. When Ash jumps off the tower to rescue {{AP|Pikachu}}, she gasps in fear for his safety. However, this may have been merely general concern, since the news camera never showed Ash's face in full until he was safely on the ground.
:*Upon seeing Ash's face on TV, she ponders whether she recognizes him, having a flashback scene of a younger Ash at the end of the episode.

*''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''
:*Serena decides to begin her journey after seeing Ash on television. Upon arriving at [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and before choosing her [[starter Pokémon]], Serena tells the professor that she is looking for the boy who was on the news. Her eyes seem to light up considerably when Sycamore identifies him as Ash.

*''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''
:*After Serena and her Fennekin finished eating breakfast, she says she will be soon in Santalune City and is excited to finally get to see Ash.
:*When Serena is walking down the steps in [[Santalune City]], she thinks about how she cannot wait to see the look on Ash's face when he sees her. Then, she has a flashback of a young Ash extending his arm, as if he was offering her his hand. When the flashback ends, she is seen blushing slightly.
:*When she sees Ash battling [[Viola]], she is so overcome with excitement that she runs toward the battlefield, seemingly planning on going ''directly'' on there to greet Ash without noticing that the battle is still in progress.
:*Later, when Ash loses the battle, Serena is obviously remorseful and attempts to speak to him, but is further saddened when he runs past her without noticing her, since he is concentrating on his injured Pokémon.
:*While Ash wonders how he is going to compensate for Viola's strategies, Serena looks nervous before she returns his backpack to him. When Serena returns Ash's [[bag|backpack]] to him (which Ash had left behind at the [[Gym]]), she starts to ask Ash something while blushing a little, only to be interrupted by the [[Pokémon Center]] bell.
:*When Ash falls to the ground while catching Pikachu and Fletchling, Serena is the only person to call out his name in worry.
:*When Ash is on the ground from the intense {{pkmn|training}}, dirty after falling to the ground while catching Pikachu and {{AP|Fletchling}}, Serena walks up to him and hands him a handkerchief to clean himself up with, showing her thoughtfulness towards him.
:*Serena looks nervous before she asks him if he remembers her. It is interesting to note that when she is seen interacting with [[Grace (Kalos)|her mother]], Serena has a sassy and rebellious attitude towards her, but whenever she is around Ash, she seems to be extremely hesitant and nervous, contradicting the personality that viewers have seen from her in prior episodes.

*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After she asks Ash if he remembers her, Serena mentions that they met in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp in [[Pallet Town]]. When Ash remembers attending the camp, she is overjoyed and tells him that she went there as well. However, when he says that he does not remember her specifically, she is visibly disappointed, but instantly cheers up, obviously not wanting to be upset or angry with him.
:*When Ash says that his battle was a disaster, Serena says she thinks he was awesome and reminds him that he once told her to never give up till the end, and that he hasn't changed at all since they met. These words helped Ash continue his training in order to win the rematch against Viola.
:*When the group is having dinner after the training session, Serena glances at Ash and smiles at him while he is eating. Since this is directly after him saying that he is sure to win the rematch, this strongly implies that she is admiring his determination and is impressed by it.
:*When Surskit starts skating around Pikachu, just like before, Serena assures the others that Ash will be fine.
:*After Vivillon knocks Fletchling out, Ash's friends wonder if he can win, Serena reassures them with her unwavering confidence in Ash's abilities.
:*When Sleep Powder hits Pikachu, Ash begins to lose hope in his chances of winning, Serena is the only one that cheers him on.
:*When Ash tells Viola that he is not going to lose because he will keep battling until the very end, Serena has a flashback of a younger Ash telling her those words.
:*Throughout the entire Gym battle, her cheering for Ash seems to be in a more enthusiastic way than {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. She also keeps reassuring Clemont, Bonnie, and [[Alexa]] that everything is going to be okay and that Ash would win, showing that she strongly believes in him. Later, when Ash becomes overwhelmed by Viola's new battling strategies, Serena cries out to Ash that he should not give up (echoing a motto Ash had told her in their childhood). In that scene, the emotions are seemingly emphasized. Her encouragement snaps him out of his panic and helps him win the battle.

*''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''
:*After Ash asks Serena to join them in their travels, she puts a hand over her heart and smiles before winking at him and accepting the invitation.
:*When Clemont asks Serena why she started her journey, she pulls out the same handkerchief Ash used to bandage her, and shows it to Ash in a second attempt to get him to remember their past. This shows that Serena has kept the same handkerchief Ash used to tie up her knee with after all these years.
:*In a flashback of when Ash and Serena first met as children, Serena is lost in a forest and is suddenly scared by a wild Poliwag, which causes her to trip and injure her leg. Ash finds Serena, bandages her knee and then pulls her up from the ground. She ends up falling into his arms in some sort of hug, and the camera zooms on her surprised face. Then, she quickly pulls away and looks at him, a surprised expression on her face. When Ash is showing her the way out of the forest, she is wide-eyed and blushing. This flashback indicates that Serena developed feelings for Ash after that incident.
:*When Ash identifies Serena as the same girl he helped when he was younger, she blushes.
[[File:Young Ash and Serena.png|thumb|300px|Flashback of Ash and Serena]]
:*Ash asks Serena why she went through all the trouble of returning the handkerchief to him and she replies with "Not just that. You see, I also really wanted to see you again". Serena then pouts, blushing, when she complains about Ash failing to remember her.
:*Serena puts on a pink outfit for {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing and then asks Ash what he thinks of it with a blush on her face.
:*When Ash wears the outfit for Rhyhorn racing and ask how does he look, Serena says that he looks perfect.
:*When Serena is on top of the Rhyhorn and demonstrating for Ash how to ride one, she is blushing.
:*At the end of the day, Ash is still trying to ride Rhyhorn properly and Serena gives him the same advice her mother gave her about not trying to talk lest you bite your tongue and to be one with Rhyhorn. Serena is impressed after seeing Ash's hard training and that he didn't give up, Serena realizes that maybe she has misjudged Rhyhorn racing.
:*After the cameras broadcasting the race get disrupted and the group can't see what is happening, Serena calls Ash's name in a worried tone.
:*When Ash tells Grace about Serena teaching him to ride a Rhyhorn, Serena is embarrassed and blushes.
:*When it is nighttime and everyone is sleeping, there is a view of the whole room with Serena's bed shown to be empty. It is then revealed that Serena is in the kitchen baking. At the end of the episode, she hands to Ash a pouch filled with cookies. She blushes and tells him that it is because she is thankful towards him. Then, she has a flashback of her and Ash when they were younger holding hands. After the flashback ends, she winks at him.

*''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]''
:*The group is amazed at how Pikachu manages to dodge attacks and battle effectively, despite being unable to see due to the strong bond between Ash and Pikachu, Clemont and Bonnie talk with Jessica about it while Serena is only looking at Ash.

*''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]
:*When Ash falls down, everybody else worries about Pikachu, but only Serena yells Ash's name.

*''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''
:*After Clemont uses his machine "Pokémon Translator Device" to translate what the Pancham are saying, Serena still believes what Ash said was correct.
:*As Ash voices his anger, Serena joins in while Bonnie and Clemont remain quiet.

*''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]
:*When Ash blushes after he mistakes his stomach growling for a strange sound, Serena looks at him and smiles.

*''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]''
:*When a teacher named {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} challenges Ash to a battle and states that if she wins, he would have to come with her, Serena freaks out and begins to blush. After Ash loses the battle, as promised, he will be with Penelope for a while, making Serena even more shocked. Later on, when Penelope takes the group to the kindergarten she works at and Serena realizes she misunderstood her, she puts a hand over her heart in relief.
:*When Ash is pushed out of the truck by {{TRT}}, Serena quickly runs towards him while shouting his name and asks if he is all right.
:*After Penelope's car come into the warehouse where Team Rocket was hiding, Serena is relieved when she sees Ash is alright.

*''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]''
:*In the beginning of the episode, while Ash is training with his Froakie, Serena is taking care of his Pikachu, instead of carrying her Fennekin.

*''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]''
:*When Ash and his friends hear the towns people talking they cannot sleep because of Snorlax's loud noise and they won't celebrate the Harvest Festival. Ash decides that they will ask Lord Shabboneau to play his Poké Flute to resolve the problem, Serena looks at him and smiles.
:*When Princess Allie offers Ash jewels in exchange for Pikachu, Serena says that he won't do it while Bonnie and Clemont remain quiet.

*''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''
:*When Ash and Clemont follow after the "Pika-bot" and left behind Serena, Bonnie and Meowth. Serena is the only one that yells Ash's name.
:*It can be noted that while Serena is hypnotized, she goes after only Ash while ignoring {{MTR}}.

*''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]''
:*In the beginning of the episode, Serena and Bonnie are both excited to introduce the idea of the [[Battle Chateau]] to Ash. While Bonnie blushes over the possibility of cake, Serena is blushing because she is sure that he would like it and suggests him that they should go there. After they arrive there, Serena asks if this is something Ash's interested in, which he answers in the affirmative.
:*When Ash is battling Chester, Serena is the only one who is cheering for Ash while Clemont and Bonnie only give compliments about Chester's Fletchling.

*''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''
:*Serena is visibly worried when Ash mentions that the video of {{an|Aria}} looks cute before he clarifies that he's talking about [[Aria's Fennekin]]. Once the clarification is made, Serena's expression softens.
:*When Serena asks Ash for help with her video and he declines, she is upset. Note that she asks Ash before everyone else.
:*Serena convinces Ash to help with the filming telling him that if he doesn't take a break, his training won't be productive.
:*At the end of the episode, Serena specifically asks Ash what he thought of her video with a blush on her face.

:*After seeing the [[Shiny|golden]] {{p|Magikarp}} for real, Serena high fived with Ash.

:*When Grant's Onix is going to use Rock Tomb, Serena is shown to be growing worried about Ash and calls his name in concern. Later when Ash is having trouble she clasps her hands together.

*''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''
:*When [[Miette]] offers Poké Puffs to the group as an apology, Serena is shown to be upset and angry when Ash says he would like to eat them.

:*At the end of the episode, after Ash calls Serena's name, Miette teases Serena about him and says that if Serena doesn't tell Ash how she feels about him, then she will.

*''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]''
:*After Serena throws a snowball at Ash for yelling at her and leaves after telling him "He isn't the Ash she knows", Ash is shown to be questioning whether he is the person she knows, then gets madder at himself for yelling at Serena and upsetting her.

:*Before Ash reunites with Greninja he is shown to be thinking about what Serena said before he yelled at her.

*''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''
:*While watching the reopening of the Lumiose Gym, Serena tells the group she's hesitant on what she's going to do next. After hearing this, Ash assures her that she will be fine and that he believes in her.

*''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''
:*After their rivals go their separate ways and Clemont and Bonnie return to Lumiose Gym, Ash asks Serena what she plans on doing, then suggests that the two of them go out together.
:*While they are walking around Lumiose City, Ash takes Serena to a clothing store and shows her an outfit he'd think she'd like, (something atypical of Ash to do given how he feels about such activity)
:*While Pikachu and Serena are looking at the dress Ash showed her, Ash is shown to be smiling at her before replacing his smile with a look of concern.
:*Ash is constantly looking at Serena with a look of worry while they were walking around in Lumiose City.
:*Ash asks Serena to battle with him then grabs her by the hand and runs to the battlefield while still holding her hand. After arriving at the battlefield he tells her he wants to battle her to cheer her up and resolves the confusion he sees that she's having.
:*After their battle Ash compliments Serena for her bond with Braixen and the rest of her Pokémon telling her that the bond she has with her Pokémon is the same as his bond with Greninja while scratching his nose nervously.
:*After their battle Ash gives Serena more encouragement for the sake of her future telling her she'll never be alone as long as she has her Pokémon with her and that he will always be supporting her no matter what she decides to do which resolves Serena's confusion and helps her decide on which path she wants to take next on her journey.
:*After Serena informs the group of her decision to travel to [[Hoenn]] alone Ash is the only one who congratulates her for figuring out what she wants to do next and gives her further encouragement for the next step in her journey.

*''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''
:*While the group is eating breakfast before they leave to go to the airport, they notice Bonnie looking sad and after she halfheartedly assures the others she's fine, Ash and Serena look at each other with a worried expression for Bonnie.
:*After Serena says to Ash: "You are my goal!" and that she's going to get better for him and the next time they meet, Ash initially is surprised but quickly smiles at her and expresses confidence in her.
:*When Serena starts down the escalator the first time, Ash is the only one among himself, Clemont and Bonnie to step forward and follow her.
:*After Serena kisses Ash, he is seen standing at the top of the escalator, momentarily stunned in awe and his eyes glimmering, but smiles afterwards and waves her goodbye. Serena's dialogue also suggests Ash knew what Serena was doing and allowed it.
:*After Serena's plane takes off, Ash assures Clemont that she's stronger than she appears and that they have nothing to worry about just as he did after her first Showcase. Ash then tells him that when they see her again, she'll be stronger than ever.
:*While Ash is on his plane back to Kanto he's shown to be remembering his adventures in Kalos, when thinking about his friends in Kalos most of his thoughts were primarily focused on Serena alone opposed to Clemont and Bonnie were mostly present in group moments rather than individually. Those memories included:
::*Serena speculating a mansion they were staying in being haunted
::*Saving Serena from Clemont's "Pokéstar Shooter".
::*Teaching Serena how to fish and how happy she was at having caught something.
::*Serena being angered by Jessie who was impersonating her.
::*Serena nursing his foot when they were stranded in a ravine together while they were at Professor Sycamore's Summer Camp.
::*Giving her the ribbon he won in Coumarine City and her happily accepting it.
::*Falling into her arms while he was sick and collapsing while still holding her hand, (interesting about this particular memory, Ash specifically remembers only Serena calling out to him in worry after he collapses, while in the actual episode Clemont and Bonnie did as well. Also interesting about this memory that Ash was supposed to be delirious from being sick in the episode but he vividly remembers what happened).
::*Serena telling him "He isn't the Ash she knows" after arguing with her in the Winding Woods.

===Other hints===
[[File:Entertainment Kiss.png|thumb|200px|Valentine's Day poster with Ash and Serena]]
[[File:Ash and Serena Animedia.png|thumb|200px|The poster from Animedia Magazine]]
*On the second promotional poster for the series, Serena is depicted blushing while looking at Ash.
*''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]''
:*After Serena asks Ash if he remembers her, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} run to {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} in response, implying that the two Pokémon sense that this is a sensitive moment between Ash and Serena and that they should be left alone.
:*As Serena and Ash talk, [[Alexa]] is seen smiling at the two of them, suggesting that she enjoys seeing the two of them together and even senses a spark between them. However, she could also be smiling as a response to Serena restoring Ash's motivation to train, by quoting a sentence he once said in his childhood, about "never giving up".
:*Before the start of the rematch between Ash and Viola, Alexa tells Serena when she heard Ash and her talking, he needed some inspiration, but she didn't think it would be from her. This sentence implies that Ash would not be as inspired and determined to win the battle if Serena had not appeared.
*On the first official character connection table, an arrow is shown from Serena to Ash with the phrase "I love ...?".
**In the March 2014 issue of ''Onnanoko to Tame no Kuchikomi & Tōkō Magazine'', there is a summary of Serena where among her character description it says that she has special feelings towards Ash. There is also another character connection table with an arrow from Serena to Ash that says "very interested in".
***The aforementioned magazine also includes a poster with Ash and Serena (Clemont and Bonnie are clearly missing) surrounded by Pokémon and hearts. Serena is holding a heart while looking up at Ash.
*There is another official poster from Animedia Magazine of only Serena and Ash sitting next to each other and holding drinks.
*There is an official poster for the movie ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' of Ash, Serena, Pikachu and Hoopa, in the poster Serena is seen feeding Pikachu, Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*On the official Pokémon movie website for Japan, there is a quiz where one question asks what the dialogue from Serena was at the end of ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' and one of the options is Serena saying, "My dream is, to become Satoshi's bride... AH! I am embarrassed!"
*''[[V (Volt)|Mega V]]''
:*In the second opening of the XY series (Mega V), Serena looks sad about something and Ash is the only one that notices and calls her to be with him to try to make Serena happy.
*''[[X Strait Y Scenery]]''
:*The first Pokemon XY ending theme only shows Ash and Serena's hats, Ash's Pokédex and Serena's guide book.
*''[[DreamDream]]''
:*At the end of the third Pokemon XY ending theme, while Serena is sleeping, Ash places a blanket over her. This is interesting since the most likely person to do that would be Bonnie, considering their closeness.
::*Many fans are intrigued by the ending theme since there is a line that says "two people finding a new love" followed by the scene of Ash placing a blanket over Serena.
*During the intros, Ash usually appears first, followed by Serena.
*During the Pokemon Special that aired between ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Ash and Serena were the only ones narrating their progress in Kalos while Clemont and Bonnie were noticeably absent.
*The Japanese title of ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' is "Satoshi and Serena's First Date!? The Vow Tree and the Present!!"
**In this episode, Ash gives Serena a ribbon, which is one of the very few times Ash has ever given a gift to one of his female friends (he gave a {{p|Beedrill}} to {{an|Casey}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' and a flower to {{an|Iris}} in ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]''). It can be noted that unlike when he gave those gifts to Casey and Iris, he gave Serena the ribbon without any advice from another person.
*''[[XY71|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]''
:*When the group is separated, Ash's Frogadier acts as bodyguard for Serena, scouting ahead for danger and protecting her. Pokémon represent the feelings of their masters, Ash is always concerned about Serena's safety and tries to protect her when they are in danger or in trouble.
*When Ash and his traveling companions split up to go look for something, he tends to partner up with Serena.
*Serena looks to Ash for guidance and advice on occasion, and she usually takes his recommendations seriously.
*Ash and Serena are often eating and sitting next to each other.
*So far in the series, four recurring female characters have noted Serena's crush on Ash: [[Miette]], Bonnie, {{an|Shauna}} and [[Nini]]. Every time it has been openly discussed with her, rather than attempting to deny it, Serena instead blushes and acts embarrassed.
*To date, Serena is the only female traveling companion to ever dress up as and impersonate Ash.
*Serena is the only female companion who hasn't either argued or fought with nor insulted Ash on a regular basis or be easily irritated by his actions, Misty, May, Dawn (to a smaller extent) and Iris have all been easily irritated by his recklessness and have argued, fought and insulted Ash during their travels with him.
**However the only time both Ash and Serena had a conflict, it was over something serious instead of childish; to snap Ash back to his senses.
*''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''
:*At the last scene of ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'' when Ash is shown entering his house the white flowers in the foreground are Baby Breath flowers which symbolize everlasting love. It's a hint from the writers that shows their content with the ending of XY&Z having Ash and Serena kiss.
:*The flight Serena was going to board to head to Hoenn was H71 Latias. "H71" can be interpreted as the #071 in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation VI)|Hoenn Pokédex]], which is {{p|Mawile}}, or Kucheet (クチート) in Japanese. This can be read as a corruption of 口と, meaning "with the mouth", suggesting that Serena kissed Ash on the mouth.

==Movie evidence==

===Serena's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**During the night after Ash and [[Diancie (anime)|Diancie]] make a wish on a star, it shows Serena awake in her tent gazing at Ash adoringly from a distance without him being aware.
**When Ash is separated from Diancie and the rest of his friends, Diancie expresses her worry for him, but Serena instantly speaks up, believing that he will be fine.
**After Ash reunites with his friends when they are battling Riot's Greninja, Serena is relieved when she sees Ash is alright.

**When Ash and Volcanion get electrocuted by Dohga and Ether's atacks, Serena calls out Ash's name in worry.

===Ash's hints===
*''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
**When Ash is telling {{an|Diancie}} about friends, Ash turns his head to Serena, then turns back to Diancie. Although {{an|Bonnie}} was standing behind Serena, Ash was making full eye contact with the latter.
**Ash holds Serena's hand as they cross a log together even though the help was most likely unnecessary. This indicates that Ash is always concerned about Serena.
**In the ending credits, when Ash and the others see a shooting star, Serena is making a wish and Ash is the only one who is looking at her while Clemont and Bonnie start sleeping.

*''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''
**After Ash tries on the secondary outfit Serena got him, Ash is shown to be excited about it and says he really likes it.
**When Serena returns Ash's normal outfit after mending it, Ash compliments Serena as he thanks her.

===Other hints===
*''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''
**During the credits, every travelling companion of Ash is seen, presumably from his point of view. When Serena is shown, her hat falls off, is caught from the camera's point of view, and handed to her. She takes it back and smiles.

'''Dia''' (Japanese: '''ディア''' ''Dia'') is a recurring character who first appeared in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]''. He is a {{tc|Veteran}} and resident of the [[Ultra Ruin]], a world that was devastated by the appearance of the [[Ultra Beast]] {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Guzzlord}}, and a former member of the [[Ultra Rangers]].

==History==
Dia encountered {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} when they found themselves transported to his home world from an alternate [[Melemele Island]] by a {{Shiny}} {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Shiny Tapu Koko|Tapu Koko}} and the {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} of Ash's world. Ash and Pikachu were attacked by a Guzzlord, but Dia saved them using his friend {{p|Zeraora}}. After introducing himself, he explained to Ash what had happened to his world and then had a battle against Ash, which Dia was able to win. Dia eventually took Ash to some ruins, which Ash recognized as the [[Pokémon School]].

In ''[[SM101|Parallel Friendships!]]'', Dia explained to Ash and Pikachu how his universe is different compared to his. He later explained that the reason Ash was unable to use a [[Z-Ring]] is because his Tapu Koko left the [[Alola]] [[region]] and all life was destroyed by Guzzlord. Since that time, Dia became disillusioned with Tapu Koko and believed that his efforts of stopping the [[Ultra Beast]] were hopeless. However, all of that changed when he witnessed Ash and Pikachu's {{pkmn|training}}, which turned into a competitive battle against Zeraora. While Pikachu won the match, it reinvigorated Dia and Zeraora's ambitions.

The battle also attracted Guzzlord's attention, so Dia, Ash, Pikachu, and Zeraora were forced to put a new plan into action, luring Guzzlord to the [[Ultra Wormhole]] below the debris. When they attempted to ensnare the Ultra Beast in Pikachu's {{m|Electroweb}}, Guzzlord fought back. Dia wanted to retreat, but Ash refused to give up. Just when they were about to be consumed by Guzzlord, Tapu Koko appeared and trapped it with its electricity. Tapu Koko reactivated Ash and Dia's Z-Rings, and together, they used their [[Z-Move]]s to push Guzzlord through the Ultra Wormhole. Dia thanked Ash for his help, and realized that it was time for Ash to return to his home world. He and Zeraora battled Ash again, which caused a dimensional rift to open up and allow Ash and Pikachu to return to their home world. The pair said goodbye to Dia and Zeraora and promised to battle them again one day before going their separate ways.

==Character==
Ten years of unending crisis and watching [[Melemele Island]] being devastated by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Guzzlord}} made Dia gruff and stoic. However, his kindhearted and generous nature soon shone through, as he was eager to share his story with {{Ash}}, in addition to offering him food and shelter. Dia was also shown to be competitive in {{pkmn|battle}}. He used {{p|Zeraora}}'s strong will and power to overwhelm his opponents.

He was shown to be incredibly optimistic and maintained a clear focus on his goal; to send Guzzlord back to its home world. Dia was well aware of the dangers of the situation, hence his initial hesitance and opposition to Ash's assistance. After seeing Ash's performance in battle and strong [[friendship]] with {{AP|Pikachu}}, he allowed Ash to join his mission. Ash served as a catalyst and helped reinvigorate Dia and Zeraora's focus and ambitions.

It was first used to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from Guzzlord. It then {{pkmn|battle}}d Pikachu and won.

Zeraora has been shown to be a solitary Pokémon. Its close companionship with Dia and the fact that it offered a [[Sitrus Berry]] to Pikachu is evidence of its kind nature.

Zeraora's known moves are {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Plasma Fists}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, and {{m|Slash}}. 
Zeraora can perform the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}.}}

==Blurb==
The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

==Plot==
After his father, [[Harry Goodman]], disappears in a past automobile accident, [[Tim Goodman]] travels to [[Ryme City]] to look for clues, and meets the gruff, talkative {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}}, who was partnered with Tim's father.

==Trivia==
* The rights to distribute the film outside Japan were initially won by {{wp|Universal Studios|Universal Pictures}}, but were eventually taken over by Warner Bros., a distributor of previous Pokémon films.
* This is one of two Pokémon-related movies to be released in 2019, with the other being the [[M22|twenty-second anime movie]]. Coincidentally, both movies prominently feature a Mewtwo.
* The Jigglypuff shown in the coffee place wielding a microphone/marker is a reference to the {{an|Jigglypuff}} in the [[Pokémon anime]].
* The Greninja uses water swords just like [[Greninja (Super Smash Bros.)|the one in Super Smash Bros.]] does.

'''Hobbes''' (Japanese: '''ジェイムズ''' ''James'') is a recurring character who appears in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a butler to {{an|Lillie}} and her family at their mansion in [[Hau'oli City]]. He first appeared in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]''.

==History==
Hobbes debuted in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', where he was shown welcoming {{an|Lillie}} at her mansion. He later had a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Ash}}, using his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Oricorio|Pom-Pom Style}} {{p|Oricorio}} against [[Ash's Rowlet]]. He also helped to fight off a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Salandit}} that had entered Lillie's room.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', Hobbes visited the [[Pokémon School]] as part of the Visiting Day.

In ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]'', Hobbes and Lillie arrived at where {{an|Gladion}} was. He asked him to spend some time at the mansion but Gladion left. He later explained to Ash that in the past, he was cleaning at the Mansion when Gladion came to him having found an injured {{p|Eevee}} and was asked to help it. Hobbes said he took the Eevee to [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', Hobbes had a battle with Lillie to help her get over her fear of touching {{AP|Pikachu}}.

[[File:Lillie and Hobbes.png|thumb|left|250px|Hobbes and Lillie]]
Hobbes appeared during a flashback in ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'' and physically in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'', ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', and ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]''. In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', he attended the wedding of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and [[Professor Burnet]].

In ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', Hobbes helped protect Lillie from {{Rotom}} when it took on the form of a {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|Mow Rotom}}; and in a fantasy in ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]''.

Hobbes made a brief appearance in [[SM078]] in the [[Poké Problem]] segment, where he was watching Lillie practice her [[Poké Ball]] throwing.

In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Hobbes was watching the [[Battle Royal]] along with Lillie.

Hobbes briefly appeared during a flashback in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', where Lillie revealed he suddenly fell asleep due to the effects of a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}, which happened while he was seeing her off to school.

In ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', Hobbes watched Lillie perform in the school play and recorded it on camera.

In ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', Hobbes arrived at Professor Kukui's house to pick up Ash.

In [[SM110]], Hobbes was watching Kahili play a round of PokéGolf on TV.

Hobbes reappeared in [[SM114]].

==Character==
Hobbes is a loyal butler, happily serving Lillie and her family as well as her friends who visit. Lillie has stated he is the best battler among the staff which is evident in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'' and ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'' when he battled Ash and Lillie. He is shown as supportive of Lillie over her fears of touching Pokémon as evident in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'' when he asked that {{AP|Pikachu}} remained outside before apologizing when Lillie said it was OK.

'''Sophocles''' (Japanese: '''マーマネ''' ''Māmane'') is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}}. He debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Younger Sophocles.png|thumb|left|250px|Sophocles when he was younger]]
Prior to enrolling in the [[Pokémon School]], Sophocles and his family often took trips to [[Ula'ula Island]] in order to visit his cousin [[Molayne]], who works at [[Hokulani Observatory]]. During one visit, he befriended a {{p|Minior}} that fell from space. A few days later, the Minior, without a shell to protect it, faded into dust. The experience was traumatic enough for Sophocles to block it from his memory.

Sophocles debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where he, {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} accidentally trampled {{Ash}} on his first visit to [[Samson Oak]]'s Pokémon School. He later watched along with the rest of the class as Ash fought a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s alongside {{an|Kiawe}}. Shortly after the battle, Ash claimed to see the [[guardian deity]] {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} in the sky, but neither Sophocles nor the rest of the class could see the guardian.

In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', Sophocles participated in Ash's surprise welcome party to the school by challenging him to a balloon-popping contest. Sophocles won the challenge with ease by bursting the balloons on {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}'s spikes, and then using her {{a|Lightning Rod}} [[Ability]] to absorb {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity to charge her attacks.

In ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', Sophocles met Ash in [[Hau'oli City]]'s mall, where the two ate some ice cream. Later, the mall's fire shutters separated Sophocles and Ash from Togedemaru, Pikachu, and {{Rotom}} due to a system malfunction caused by {{TRT}}. Using his knowledge of machinery, Sophocles was able to find out the solution to the problem. While on their way to the mall's power switch room, he and Ash got into an argument, but settled their dispute after Ash saved Sophocles from being locked up. Eventually the two made their way up to the mall's roof, where they encountered their Pokémon battling Team Rocket. Sophocles had his Togedemaru absorb Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} using her Lightning Rod Ability, allowing Togedemaru to turn the tides of the battle before the Team Rocket trio got carried away by {{an|Bewear}}. After solving the power problem, Sophocles went to have dinner with Ash and {{an|Professor Kukui}}.

In ''[[SM026|So Long, Sophocles!]]'', [[Sophocles's parents|his father and mother]] informed Sophocles that they were moving house which left him very upset. He later discovered that it was all a big misunderstanding as they were only moving a few houses away but was terrified of explaining this to his friends who were throwing a leaving party. Ash even got him a {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}} as a going away present which he caught. After capturing Charjabug, Sophocles tearfully apologized to his friends for accidentally misleading them. Although Sophocles was reluctant on revealing the truth because he feared that everyone would be mad at him for lying, everyone was happy he wasn't actually moving away.

[[File:Sophocles with his parents.png|thumb|left|250px|Sophocles with his parents]]
In ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'', Sophocles, along with Ash and Kiawe, decided to enter the [[Charjabug race]] with his Charjabug. His Charjabug struggled at first, but he and the others trained with him so they could win. On the day of the race, he was confronted with [[Horacio]], the leader of the Red Comet team, and was teased on, but he didn't back down. For the race, Sophocles took the role of the team {{wp|director}}, with Kiawe acting as the {{wp|mechanic}} and Ash as the support runner. When the race began, Charjabug moved slowly. On the rocky course, Ash and Charjabug became stuck, but Sophocles found a way to get around the obstacle. During the final stretch, Ash was rendered unconscious so he couldn't finish the race. Sophocles eventually found a way to use Charjabug's {{m|String Shot}} to go up the slippery slope and come out victorious.

From the episodes ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Sophocles was among those who helped {{an|Lillie}} and [[Gladion]] in their mission to rescue their mother [[Lusamine]] after Lusamine was kidnapped by the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Nihilego}}. In [[Ultra Deep Sea]], his Charjabug and Togedemaru, along with [[Ash's Litten]] and Rowlet, and Lana and Mallow's Pokémon, fought and overcame Lusamine's {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under Nihilego's control. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Sophocles attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]]. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Sophocles and his classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.

[[File:Sophocles Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Sophocles in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Sophocles and his classmates set out on their first Ultra Guardians mission. They were tasked with capturing a {{p|Buzzwole}} that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] onto Melemele Island, where it began causing havoc. During the mission, Sophocles helped heal a wild {{p|Snorlax}} that was drained of its energy by the Ultra Beast. Eventually, Buzzwole was distracted by Kiawe's flexing long enough for Ash to capture it in a {{ball|Beast}}. Afterward, Buzzwole was released and returned to its [[Ultra Jungle|home]] thanks to a wormhole opened by Lusamine's team.

In ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', Sophocles was out camping with his parents and Pokémon at [[Bamboo Hill]] when he came across a creature buried in the ground, which he believed to be '''Celestial Starship''' (Japanese '''星舟かぐや''' ''Starship Kaguya''), a character from a folktale. After telling his classmates about it, they went to the Bamboo Hill and unsuccessfully tried to dig it up. The next day, Lusamine revealed the creature was actually an Ultra Beast they named {{p|Celesteela}}, and set the Ultra Guardians off to return it back home. Attempts to catch Celesteela in a Beast Ball proved unsuccessful as it was firmly rooted down. Team Rocket later attempted to catch Celesteela, forcing the Ultra Guardians to protect it as Celesteela began to launch into the air. After creating an area for Celesteela to launch safely without setting the immediate area ablaze, they watched it fly home.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', Sophocles and his classmates watched a fireworks show. The show was interrupted by a strange creature that used its exploding head to create a fireworks show of its own. The next day, the Ultra Guardians were called down by Lusamine, who revealed the creature from before was the Ultra Beast {{p|Blacephalon}}. The Ultra Guardians set off to find Blacephalon, but their efforts to track it down only led to a different Ultra Beast, later named {{p|Xurkitree}} by Lusamine. When Blacephalon and Xurkitree met, they began doing flashy performances in an attempt to outdo the other. Worried that serious trouble could arise if the competition kept escalating, the Ultra Guardians combined the attacks of their partner and Ride Pokémon into a giant firework that distracted the Ultra Beasts long enough for Ash to make them flinch with Lycanroc's {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}. After Blacephalon and Xurkitree were caught, they were released back to their respective homes.

In ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', Sophocles and his classmates were sent on an Ultra Guardians mission to capture the Ultra Beast {{p|Stakataka}}. They found it lying motionless in the middle of a field at the Pokémon School. The Ultra Guardians' attempts to capture Stakataka all failed as it easily dodged all of their thrown Beast Balls, forcing them to give up and try again later. The next day, they found that Stakataka had left the Pokémon School and moved to the construction site of a resort [[Viren]] was building. Viren, mistaking the Rampart Pokémon for a statue stand, glued a golden statue of himself onto Stakataka, causing it to go berserk in an attempt to get the statue off. With the assistance of Kiawe's {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, Ash made it on top of Stakataka and had Pikachu knock the statue off, calming it down. Afterwards, Stakataka happily agreed to be captured and was then returned to its home.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, Sophocles and his classmates embarked on their fifth mission to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that Gladion would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the {{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}. Before any attempt to translate the mural could be done, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} chasing after it.

In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Lusamine's group came to the conclusion that Necrozma was the cause of the Alolan adults' loss of energy. Realizing that Necrozma intended on draining Lunala's Ultra Aura in order to possess it, Lusamine sent the Ultra Guardians off to protect Lunala. The Ultra Guardians chased Necrozma to Melemele Island, where they fought alongside Lunala to drive Necrozma away. Despite their best efforts, Necrozma easily shrugged off the Ultra Guardians' attacks and eventually took over Lunala's body to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. Soon afterwards, an elite [[Team Rocket]] group known as the [[Matori]] Matrix appeared and attempted to capture Necrozma, only for it to easily break free from their electrified net.

After the Matori Matrix retreated, Nebby appeared from a wormhole and fought alongside the Ultra Guardians to free Lunala. With its {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, Nebby successfully knocked Necrozma off of Lunala, causing it the former to fall into the ocean below. The Matori Matrix returned in order to capture Nebby and Lunala, though the two Legendary Pokémon were freed by Ash's Pikachu and [[Gladion's Silvally]]. The distraction allowed Necrozma to return and possess Nebby instead, causing it to become Dusk Mane Necrozma. Ash tried to free Nebby, but was unable to stop Necrozma from escaping into an Ultra Wormhole. With Necrozma gone, the adults of Alola were restored to their normal selves and the injured Lunala was taken to the Ultra Guardians base to recuperate. When the Ultra Guardians expressed their determination to rescue Nebby, their Z-Rings began shining a light that went into Lunala, healing it in the process.

In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', the Ultra Guardians and Lunala traveled through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at {{AP|Poipole}}'s home world. While Lunala went off ahead to face Necrozma, the others stayed behind and were introduced to Poipole's friends and the leader of its hive, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}}. With its telepathy, Naganadel revealed to everyone how Necrozma lost its light protecting the world from a meteor, causing everything to become barren and shrouded in darkness. Realizing that Necrozma is actually the Blinding One, the group decided to help Necrozma by giving it their Z-Power in the hopes that it would release Nebby, regain its true form, and bring light back to Poipole's world. After heading to where Lunala and Necrozma were fighting, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion fired simultaneous Z-Moves at the Prism Pokémon.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', the combined Z-Moves were absorbed by Necrozma, but it wasn't enough to get it to release Nebby. After informing Lusamine's group of the situation, the Ultra Guardians learned that, in the tale of Alola's creation, the people and Pokémon of Alola assisted Solgaleo and Lunala in restoring Necrozma's light by sharing their Z-Power with it. Together, the Ultra Guardians, their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's comrades, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing to release Nebby. Afterwards, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma, and restore Poipole's home world back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.

In [[SM104]], Sophocles and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their individual research projects for school. His research project involved him evolving his Charjabug into {{p|Vikavolt}} at [[Vast Poni Canyon]].

In [[SM106]], Sophocles, Ash, [[Hapu]], and Kiawe headed over to Vast Poni Canyon. After arriving, Sophocles challenged [[Horacio]] to a contest when the latter expressed his own plans to evolve his Charjabug with the "Bug Stone", a purported special [[evolutionary stone]] said to be located somewhere in the canyon. Sophocles, Horacio, and their Charjabug ventured to an old bridge that they had to cross. Sophocles feared that it was going to collapse, but Horacio stubbornly rebuffed his concerns and crossed. Indeed, the bridge did collapse, leaving him and his Chariabug hanging on for dear life. Sophocles's Charjabug subsequently evolved into Vikavolt, saved them, and retrieved the Bug Stone. When Horacio realized the Bug Stone didn't work, Sophocles informed him that Charjabug evolve into Vikavolt due to the canyon's [[special magnetic field]]. Meeting back up with his friends, Sophocles showed off his newly evolved Pokémon before being challenged to a Vikavolt race by Horacio, which he accepted.

In [[SM114]], Sophocles and his classmates were sent on an Ultra Guardians mission to capture the Ultra Beast {{p|Pheromosa}}, which had been stealing [[Z-Crystal]]s from various Trainers. {{MTR}}, who had fallen in love with Pheromosa, lured the Ultra Guardians to it, allowing Pheromosa to take one of Ash's Z-Crystals. After consulting Lusamine's group, the Ultra Guardians tried to capture Pheromosa with a glue trap, only for Meowth to see through the plan and get caught himself. {{an|Bewear}}, angry that Pheromosa hurt Team Rocket during the battle, fought and easily defeated the Lissome Pokémon, allowing the Ultra Guardians to catch it. After Pheromosa was released back to its home world, the Ultra Guardians returned the stolen Z-Crystals back to their owners.

==Character==
[[File:Poké Problem extra scene SM006.png|thumb|250px|Sophocles sleeping with Togedemaru by his side]]
Sophocles is an intelligent young boy with a knack for inventing helpful devices and machinery. He is also a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, often using them to power his inventions. While at times rude and prone to absorbing himself in his technological activities, he is friendly and greatly cares for his Pokémon and classmates. In ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', it was revealed that Sophocles likes to collect information on all sort of things, such as the best ice cream in Alola. In the same episode, it is also revealed that he has a fear of dark places, but is never scared at night as long as he has his Togedemaru with him. Sophocles tends to get bashful when people complement him on his knowledge, responding with a shy "{{tt|Mā, ne...|'Yeah, well.'}}" in the original Japanese version of the anime – a pun on his Japanese name, "Māmane".

[[File:Sophocles and his Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|left|Sophocles's team from ''[[SM026|So Long, Sophocles!]]'' to [[SM105]].]]
Much like {{an|Clemont}}, Sophocles is not very athletic, and often fails to do tasks that require physical activity as shown in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', when he needed help to climb over a log, and in ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', during the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. He also shows an interest in robotics. In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', it is revealed he converted the car he got for Charjabug in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'' into a miniature mecha that can dock with Togedemaru, named '''TogeCharja Perfect Form Robot Deluxe''' (Japanese: '''トゲデンヂロボットパーフェクトフォルムデラックス''' ''TogeDendi Robot Perfect Form Deluxe''). The mecha was seen again in ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]''.

Sophocles also has a defensive side, which was seen in ''Mounting an Electrifying Charge!'', when he stood up for himself and his Charjabug after being mocked by [[Horacio]]. Sophocles has shown to be a gracious loser, as shown in [[SM113]], where despite being sad after losing in the preliminary round of (Japanese: '''アローラポケモンクイズ''' ''Alola Pokémon Quiz''), he happily congratulated his former fellow contestant [[Kuwashi]] on getting yet another correct answer in the final round when he saw him next.

Sophocles is shown to be a fan of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', the Pokémon he wanted to see the most whilst in [[Kanto]] was revealed to be a local {{p|Raichu}}.

'''Sophocles''' (Japanese: '''マーマネ''' ''Māmane'') is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}}. He debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Younger Sophocles.png|thumb|left|250px|Sophocles when he was younger]]
Prior to enrolling in the [[Pokémon School]], Sophocles and his family often took trips to [[Ula'ula Island]] in order to visit his cousin [[Molayne]], who works at [[Hokulani Observatory]]. During one visit, he befriended a {{p|Minior}} that fell from space. A few days later, the Minior, without a shell to protect it, faded into dust. The experience was traumatic enough for Sophocles to block it from his memory.

Sophocles debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where he, {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} accidentally trampled {{Ash}} on his first visit to [[Samson Oak]]'s Pokémon School. He later watched along with the rest of the class as Ash fought a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s alongside {{an|Kiawe}}. Shortly after the battle, Ash claimed to see the [[guardian deity]] {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} in the sky, but neither Sophocles nor the rest of the class could see the guardian.

In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', Sophocles participated in Ash's surprise welcome party to the school by challenging him to a balloon-popping contest. Sophocles won the challenge with ease by bursting the balloons on {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}'s spikes, and then using her {{a|Lightning Rod}} [[Ability]] to absorb {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity to charge her attacks.

In ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', Sophocles met Ash in [[Hau'oli City]]'s mall, where the two ate some ice cream. Later, the mall's fire shutters separated Sophocles and Ash from Togedemaru, Pikachu, and {{Rotom}} due to a system malfunction caused by {{TRT}}. Using his knowledge of machinery, Sophocles was able to find out the solution to the problem. While on their way to the mall's power switch room, he and Ash got into an argument, but settled their dispute after Ash saved Sophocles from being locked up. Eventually the two made their way up to the mall's roof, where they encountered their Pokémon battling Team Rocket. Sophocles had his Togedemaru absorb Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} using her Lightning Rod Ability, allowing Togedemaru to turn the tides of the battle before the Team Rocket trio got carried away by {{an|Bewear}}. After solving the power problem, Sophocles went to have dinner with Ash and {{an|Professor Kukui}}.

In ''[[SM026|So Long, Sophocles!]]'', [[Sophocles's parents|his father and mother]] informed Sophocles that they were moving house which left him very upset. He later discovered that it was all a big misunderstanding as they were only moving a few houses away but was terrified of explaining this to his friends who were throwing a leaving party. Ash even got him a {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}} as a going away present which he caught. After capturing Charjabug, Sophocles tearfully apologized to his friends for accidentally misleading them. Although Sophocles was reluctant on revealing the truth because he feared that everyone would be mad at him for lying, everyone was happy he wasn't actually moving away.

[[File:Sophocles with his parents.png|thumb|left|250px|Sophocles with his parents]]
In ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'', Sophocles, along with Ash and Kiawe, decided to enter the [[Charjabug race]] with his Charjabug. His Charjabug struggled at first, but he and the others trained with him so they could win. On the day of the race, he was confronted with [[Horacio]], the leader of the Red Comet team, and was teased on, but he didn't back down. For the race, Sophocles took the role of the team {{wp|director}}, with Kiawe acting as the {{wp|mechanic}} and Ash as the support runner. When the race began, Charjabug moved slowly. On the rocky course, Ash and Charjabug became stuck, but Sophocles found a way to get around the obstacle. During the final stretch, Ash was rendered unconscious so he couldn't finish the race. Sophocles eventually found a way to use Charjabug's {{m|String Shot}} to go up the slippery slope and come out victorious.

From the episodes''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Sophocles was among those who helped {{an|Lillie}} and [[Gladion]] in their mission to rescue their mother [[Lusamine]] after Lusamine was kidnapped by the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Nihilego}}. In [[Ultra Deep Sea]], his Charjabug and Togedemaru, along with [[Ash's Litten]] and Rowlet, and Lana and Mallow's Pokémon, fought and overcame Lusamine's {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were under Nihilego's control. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Sophocles attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and [[Professor Burnet]]. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Sophocles and his classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.

[[File:Sophocles Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Sophocles in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Sophocles and his classmates set out on their first Ultra Guardians mission. They were tasked with capturing a {{p|Buzzwole}} that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] onto Melemele Island, where it began causing havoc. During the mission, Sophocles helped heal a wild {{p|Snorlax}} that was drained of its energy by the Ultra Beast. Eventually, Buzzwole was distracted by Kiawe's flexing long enough for Ash to capture it in a {{ball|Beast}}. Afterward, Buzzwole was released and returned to its [[Ultra Jungle|home]] thanks to a wormhole opened by Lusamine's team.

In ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', Sophocles was out camping with his parents and Pokémon at [[Bamboo Hill]] when he came across a creature buried in the ground, which he believed to be '''Celestial Starship''' (Japanese '''星舟かぐや''' ''Starship Kaguya''), a character from a folktale. After telling his classmates about it, they went to the Bamboo Hill and unsuccessfully tried to dig it up. The next day, Lusamine revealed the creature was actually an Ultra Beast they named {{p|Celesteela}}, and set the Ultra Guardians off to return it back home. Attempts to catch Celesteela in a Beast Ball proved unsuccessful as it was firmly rooted down. Team Rocket later attempted to catch Celesteela, forcing the Ultra Guardians to protect it as Celesteela began to launch into the air. After creating an area for Celesteela to launch safely without setting the immediate area ablaze, they watched it fly home.

In ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]'', Sophocles and his classmates watched a fireworks show. The show was interrupted by a strange creature that used its exploding head to create a fireworks show of its own. The next day, the Ultra Guardians were called down by Lusamine, who revealed the creature from before was the Ultra Beast {{p|Blacephalon}}. The Ultra Guardians set off to find Blacephalon, but their efforts to track it down only led to a different Ultra Beast, later named {{p|Xurkitree}} by Lusamine. When Blacephalon and Xurkitree met, they began doing flashy performances in an attempt to outdo the other. Worried that serious trouble could arise if the competition kept escalating, the Ultra Guardians combined the attacks of their partner and Ride Pokémon into a giant firework that distracted the Ultra Beasts long enough for Ash to make them flinch with Lycanroc's {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}. After Blacephalon and Xurkitree were caught, they were released back to their respective homes.

In ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]'', Sophocles and his classmates were sent on an Ultra Guardians mission to capture the Ultra Beast {{p|Stakataka}}. They found it lying motionless in the middle of a field at the Pokémon School. The Ultra Guardians' attempts to capture Stakataka all failed as it easily dodged all of their thrown Beast Balls, forcing them to give up and try again later. The next day, they found that Stakataka had left the Pokémon School and moved to the construction site of a resort [[Viren]] was building. Viren, mistaking the Rampart Pokémon for a statue stand, glued a golden statue of himself onto Stakataka, causing it to go berserk in an attempt to get the statue off. With the assistance of Kiawe's {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, Ash made it on top of Stakataka and had Pikachu knock the statue off, calming it down. Afterwards, Stakataka happily agreed to be captured and was then returned to its home.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, Sophocles and his classmates embarked on their fifth mission to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that Gladion would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the {{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}. Before any attempt to translate the mural could be done, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} chasing after it.

In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Lusamine's group came to the conclusion that Necrozma was the cause of the Alolan adults' loss of energy. Realizing that Necrozma intended on draining Lunala's Ultra Aura in order to possess it, Lusamine sent the Ultra Guardians off to protect Lunala. The Ultra Guardians chased Necrozma to Melemele Island, where they fought alongside Lunala to drive Necrozma away. Despite their best efforts, Necrozma easily shrugged off the Ultra Guardians' attacks and eventually took over Lunala's body to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. Soon afterwards, an elite [[Team Rocket]] group known as the [[Matori]] Matrix appeared and attempted to capture Necrozma, only for it to easily break free from their electrified net.

After the Matori Matrix retreated, Nebby appeared from a wormhole and fought alongside the Ultra Guardians to free Lunala. With its {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, Nebby successfully knocked Necrozma off of Lunala, causing it the former to fall into the ocean below. The Matori Matrix returned in order to capture Nebby and Lunala, though the two Legendary Pokémon were freed by Ash's Pikachu and [[Gladion's Silvally]]. The distraction allowed Necrozma to return and possess Nebby instead, causing it to become Dusk Mane Necrozma. Ash tried to free Nebby, but was unable to stop Necrozma from escaping into an Ultra Wormhole. With Necrozma gone, the adults of Alola were restored to their normal selves and the injured Lunala was taken to the Ultra Guardians base to recuperate. When the Ultra Guardians expressed their determination to rescue Nebby, their Z-Rings began shining a light that went into Lunala, healing it in the process.

In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', the Ultra Guardians and Lunala traveled through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at {{AP|Poipole}}'s home world. While Lunala went off ahead to face Necrozma, the others stayed behind and were introduced to Poipole's friends and the leader of its hive, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Naganadel}}. With its telepathy, Naganadel revealed to everyone how Necrozma lost its light protecting the world from a meteor, causing everything to become barren and shrouded in darkness. Realizing that Necrozma is actually the Blinding One, the group decided to help Necrozma by giving it their Z-Power in the hopes that it would release Nebby, regain its true form, and bring light back to Poipole's world. After heading to where Lunala and Necrozma were fighting, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion fired simultaneous Z-Moves at the Prism Pokémon.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', the combined Z-Moves were absorbed by Necrozma, but it wasn't enough to get it to release Nebby. After informing Lusamine's group of the situation, the Ultra Guardians learned that, in the tale of Alola's creation, the people and Pokémon of Alola assisted Solgaleo and Lunala in restoring Necrozma's light by sharing their Z-Power with it. Together, the Ultra Guardians, their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's comrades, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing to release Nebby. Afterwards, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma, and restore Poipole's home world back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.

In [[SM104]], Sophocles and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their individual research projects for school. His research project involved him evolving his Charjabug into {{p|Vikavolt}} at [[Vast Poni Canyon]].

In [[SM106]], Sophocles, Ash, [[Hapu]], and Kiawe headed over to Vast Poni Canyon. After arriving, Sophocles challenged [[Horacio]] to a contest when the latter expressed his own plans to evolve his Charjabug with the "Bug Stone", a purported special [[evolutionary stone]] said to be located somewhere in the canyon. Sophocles, Horacio, and their Charjabug ventured to an old bridge that they had to cross. Sophocles feared that it was going to collapse, but Horacio stubbornly rebuffed his concerns and crossed. Indeed, the bridge did collapse, leaving him and his Chariabug hanging on for dear life. Sophocles's Charjabug subsequently evolved into Vikavolt, saved them, and retrieved the Bug Stone. When Horacio realized the Bug Stone didn't work, Sophocles informed him that Charjabug evolve into Vikavolt due to the canyon's [[special magnetic field]]. Meeting back up with his friends, Sophocles showed off his newly evolved Pokémon before being challenged to a Vikavolt race by Horacio, which he accepted.

In [[SM114]], Sophocles and his classmates were sent on an Ultra Guardians mission to capture the Ultra Beast {{p|Pheromosa}}, which had been stealing [[Z-Crystal]]s from various Trainers. {{MTR}}, who had fallen in love with Pheromosa, lured the Ultra Guardians to it, allowing Pheromosa to take one of Ash's Z-Crystals. After consulting Lusamine's group, the Ultra Guardians tried to capture Pheromosa with a glue trap, only for Meowth to see through the plan and get caught himself. {{an|Bewear}}, angry that Pheromosa hurt Team Rocket during the battle, fought and easily defeated the Lissome Pokémon, allowing the Ultra Guardians to catch it. After Pheromosa was released back to its home world, the Ultra Guardians returned the stolen Z-Crystals back to their owners.

==Character==
[[File:Poké Problem extra scene SM006.png|thumb|250px|Sophocles sleeping with Togedemaru by his side]]
Sophocles is an intelligent young boy with a knack for inventing helpful devices and machinery. He is also a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, often using them to power his inventions. While at times rude and prone to absorbing himself in his technological activities, he is friendly and greatly cares for his Pokémon and classmates. In ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', it was revealed that Sophocles likes to collect information on all sort of things, such as the best ice cream in Alola. In the same episode, it is also revealed that he has a fear of dark places, but is never scared at night as long as he has his Togedemaru with him. Sophocles tends to get bashful when people complement him on his knowledge, responding with a shy "{{tt|Mā, ne...|'Yeah, well.'}}" in the original Japanese version of the anime – a pun on his Japanese name, "Māmane".

[[File:Sophocles and his Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|left|Sophocles's team from ''[[SM026|So Long, Sophocles!]]'' to [[SM105]].]]
Much like {{an|Clemont}}, Sophocles is not very athletic, and often fails to do tasks that require physical activity as shown in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', when he needed help to climb over a log, and in ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', during the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. He also shows an interest in robotics. In ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]'', it is revealed he converted the car he got for Charjabug in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'' into a miniature mecha that can dock with Togedemaru, named '''TogeCharja Perfect Form Robot Deluxe''' (Japanese: '''トゲデンヂロボットパーフェクトフォルムデラックス''' ''TogeDendi Robot Perfect Form Deluxe''). The mecha was seen again in ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]''.

Sophocles also has a defensive side, which was seen in ''Mounting an Electrifying Charge!'', when he stood up for himself and his Charjabug after being mocked by [[Horacio]]. Sophocles has shown to be a gracious loser, as shown in [[SM113]], where despite being sad after losing in the preliminary round of (Japanese: '''アローラポケモンクイズ''' ''Alola Pokémon Quiz''), he happily congratulated his former fellow contestant [[Kuwashi]] on getting yet another correct answer in the final round when he saw him next.

Sophocles is shown to be a fan of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', the Pokémon he wanted to see the most whilst in [[Kanto]] was revealed to be a local {{p|Raichu}}.

GyaradosBreak: /* In spin-off games */

[[File:RegionsMoviesMap.jpg|thumb|350px|A map of the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions, and the Sevii Islands and Orange Archipelago from the {{pkmn|anime}}'s [[M10|10th anniversary]]]]
A '''region''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|地方|chihō}}''' ''region'') is an organized area of the [[Pokémon world]]. There are at most sixteen known regions that have appeared in the various Pokémon [[canon]]s.

==In the core series==
Seven regions have appeared in the [[core series]] of [[Pokémon games]]. They are, in order of appearance, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]. Each region has been the setting of at least two games in the generation in which it debuts.

Most regions are structured similarly. Typically, a region has its own [[Pokémon League]] which includes eight [[Gym Leader]]s. Once these eight are defeated, Trainers can challenge the regional [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except Johto, which shares the [[Indigo League]] with Kanto). Alola does not have Gyms but instead hosts the [[island challenge]] and only recently created a {{al|Pokémon League}}. Each region also has a [[Pokémon Professor]] who teaches new Trainers about Pokémon and typically gives out [[starter Pokémon]] to them. There is usually a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] operating within the region that uses Pokémon to further its goals.

Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what [[Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon|legends]] there are waiting to be uncovered. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, distance and location; and in the culture of the people there.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Professor Oak]] explains that [[Sinnoh]], [[Kanto]], and [[Hoenn]] (and probably [[Johto]] and others) are part of a larger [[Pokémon nation|country]], whose name has yet to be revealed. This concept is similar to the {{wp|regions of Japan}}, which the Pokémon world has been [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|modeled after]], and from which the Pokémon nation's Kanto region takes its name. Unova, Kalos, and Alola are known to be located far away from Kanto and Johto, and as such they may not be part of this country.

==In the side series==
The region of the [[Generation III]] side series games, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Orre]] has similar characteristics to the core series regions but lacks some basic core series features. There are mostly [[Pokémon Trainer]]s inhabiting the region. There are very few [[List of cities and towns|settlements]] and no [[Routes|routes]]. There is no official [[Pokémon League]], but rather a variety of facilities which offer consecutive battles. There is a regional professor, [[Professor Krane]] and regional villains, [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]]. [[Wild Pokémon]] only appear in rare areas called [[Poké Spots]].

==In spin-off games==
In the [[Pokémon Ranger]] series, the regions of [[Fiore]], [[Almia]] and [[Oblivia]] are much smaller and have different cultures. [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are not present in the regions. Pokémon are not kept inside [[Poké Ball]]s and wild Pokémon can be seen wandering cities as well as routes. Pokémon Rangers act as authority, helping Pokémon and people in need. There are no individual Gyms, an Elite Four or a Champion. However, Rangers can take the Capture Challenge to test their skills. Despite their peaceful natures, there are [[villainous teams]] that operate within both regions that capture and use Pokémon to further their goals of world domination. [[Team Dim Sun|One such villainous team]] has been known to brainwash Pokémon using their [[Gigaremo units|advanced technology]], causing them to lose their memories and wreak havoc. There is an associated federation similar to the Ranger Union in Fiore and Almia that organizes all activities for rescue and exploration teams.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in a world that is populated solely by Pokémon; humans do not live there. The world has six continents, with many Pokémon found in dungeons, but also towns in which Pokémon live, including [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]], [[Post Town]], and [[Lively Town]]. Some of the Pokémon within them form exploration teams that explore dungeons and help Pokémon in need. The [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]] is where beginning [[team|exploration teams]] live and learn the basics, while the [[Expedition Society]] serves a similar role for expedition teams. The [[Makuhita Dojo]] and [[Marowak Dojo]]s are places somewhat similar to Gyms in the main regions where exploration teams hone their skills.

[[Pokémon Snap]] is set on [[Pokémon Island]], an isolated reserve home to many species of Pokémon. It appears to have a relationship with the [[Kanto]] region of the core series, as [[Professor Oak]] appears to have some authority over the island. [[Pokkén Tournament]] takes place in the [[Ferrum]] region, which seems to be located somewhere in the core series Pokémon world, as [[Cinnabar Island]] is mentioned in the game. {{ga|Detective Pikachu}}'s main setting is [[Ryme City]], a big city where people and Pokémon live together. It likely has some kind of connections to the core series regions, as [[Regional variant|Alola Forms]] are both mentioned and shown to exist in the game. [[Pokémon Quest]] takes place on [[Tumblecube Island]], which is inhabitited by numerous cube-shaped Pokémon. It seems to have connections to the core series Pokémon world, as the [[Silph Co.]] is mentioned at one point. [[Pokémon Channel]] is set in [[Mintale Town]], which is inhabited by many species of Pokémon. Humans may live there too; there is at least one suburban area. [[Holon]] and the [[Trading Card Game Islands]] appear in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|eponymous video games]]. The relationship of these regions with the others is unclear.

In [[Pokémon legends]], The game takes place in the [[Orden region]].

==In the anime==
The protagonists of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Ash Ketchum]] and his {{ashfr|traveling companions}}, have visited all seven of the core series regions in the same order the games have been released. To accommodate plots, story arcs, and episode numbers, regions in the anime are much larger than their game counterparts. The regions are shown to have a number of cities and towns that are [[List of anime-exclusive locations|not present in the games]]. In some cases, some areas are moved to a different region from their game counterparts; for example, the [[Hoenn]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in {{game|Emerald}} was not in [[Hoenn]] in the anime, but instead in [[Kanto]] with the different facilities scattered all over the region rather being located on an island. Additionally, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[Sevii Islands]] appeared in one [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episode, ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

Additionally, two regions exist in the anime that do not exist in any video game:

* [[Orange Archipelago]], the tropical setting for the second season, [[S02|Adventures in the Orange Islands]]. Located south of Kanto and Johto, it differs from the standard region formula, with only four [[Gym]]s.
* [[Decolore Islands]], the setting of the final arc of the {{series|Best Wishes}}. It is located between Kanto and Unova, and it has no Pokémon Professor, no Pokémon Gyms, and no Pokémon League.

==Trivia==
* Both anime-exclusive regions are archipelagoes.
* Each core series region has the letter 'o' present in its English name (Kant'''o''', J'''o'''ht'''o''', H'''o'''enn, Sinn'''o'''h, Un'''o'''va, Kal'''o'''s, and Al'''o'''la). The anime-exclusive regions also have the letter present ('''O'''range Archipelag'''o''' and Dec'''o'''l'''o'''re Islands).
* Out of all regions in game, [[Unova]] has the highest population of 949. [[Kanto]] has the lowest with 391 in [[Generation III]] and 364 in [[Generation IV]].
