'''''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド＆パール''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl'') is the third [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the fourth series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in the West. The series is based on the events of the [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows {{aniseries|RS}} and was succeeded by {{aniseries|BW}}. It ran from September 28, 2006 to September 9, 2010 in Japan (with two [[DPS01|special]] [[DPS02|episodes]] on February 3, 2011) and from June 4, 2007 to February 5, 2011 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first three episodes aired as a sneak peak in the United States on April 20, 2007. It was not given an English name until after the release of {{aniseries|XY}}.

For the first time in the animated series, a second protagonist is introduced alongside [[Ash Ketchum]]. While previous series revolved around Ash and his {{pkmn|journey}} first and foremost, ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' follows Ash traveling through the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] alongside his new companion {{an|Dawn}}, a rookie [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Twinleaf Town]] who wishes to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]] and gain the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. Likewise, Ash continues his goal to be a [[Pokémon Master]] by aiming to conquer the [[Sinnoh League]], while both are joined by Ash's longtime companion {{an|Brock}}, who resumes his role of cooking for and advising his friends after reuniting with Ash.

Like with ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes. Similarly, their {{an|May|previous female companion}} returns for a few episodes, wearing new clothes based on that of her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} in {{game|Emerald}}.

Much like how the [[original series]] transitioned from cel-based coloring to digital coloring in its final few episodes, ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' featured the show's move from a standard definition 4:3 presentation to a high-definition 16:9 format around the middle of its run. Additionally, moves like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} started being rendered in CGI following this transition.

''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' is different from the previous two series in that it is more story driven. While there are fewer episodes dedicated to [[Gym]] battles or [[Pokémon Contest]]s than previous series had in the same amount of time, more captures, more departures, and more [[rival]]s have been introduced when compared to earlier series.

Additionally, this series is more violent and dramatic than its predecessors, in part stemming from the character [[Paul]] whose training method sharply contrasts with Ash's so much that he abuses [[Ash's Infernape|one of his Pokémon]] for not doing well, and likewise stemming from the cataclysmic nature of the plot of Sinnoh's resident [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], as well as the actions of the heartless mercenary [[J]].

Episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''DP''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl episodes|list of ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
If Gary Oak is headed for the Sinnoh region, then Ash Ketchum won’t be far behind! Ready to take on the Sinnoh League, Ash brings along Pikachu and meets up with Brock in Sinnoh, where the pair of Trainers are soon joined by a third—Dawn, a novice Pokémon Coordinator determined to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Both Ash and Dawn struggle with their respective paths, but it’s easy for them to make new friends, gaining new Pokémon like Turtwig and Piplup.

*** Ash has met all of the members of [[Kanto]]'s original Elite Four, but did not do so by the end of the original series.
*** He later went on to meet all of [[Alola]]'s Elite Four members, but none of them presented themselves as such due to the [[Manalo Conference|Alola League]] being a new establishment.

** Ash catches multiple of the current generation's [[first partner Pokémon]] and has up to two of them [[Evolution|evolve]] into their final forms.

==Plot==
[[Amethio]] meets with the younger members of [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] at the [[Brave Olivine]] to discuss their upcoming rescue mission. Having been kept up to date of the situation by [[Hamber]], [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]], Amethio reveals the [[Six Heroes]] are presently being kept in the [[Explorers HQ]], and with [[Spinel]] being at [[Exceed]], now would be the best time to strike. One thing that [[Liko]] noticed during [[HZ110|their]] [[HZ111|battle]] against the Six Heroes was that they hadn't attacked each other while under the influence of the [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]s, meaning they still recognize each other as allies. However, that recognition could be lost if they are exposed to the Strong Spheres again, making this mission even more dire. Amethio begins to explain the layout of the [[Explorers]] HQ to the determined Rising Volt Tacklers, with Liko noting {{p|Charcadet}}'s own determination. While [[Murdock]] navigates the Brave Olivine to its next destination, the younger members all spend their free time separately. [[Roy]] and {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} are asleep; {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} are also sleeping as [[Dot]] finalizes the plan; Liko assists Charcadet with the [[Auspicious Armor]] [[HZ123|given by]] [[Diana]] as {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and [[Pagogo]] watch. Meanwhile, [[Ult]] invites Amethio and {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} inside the observation deck, but the latter {{pkmn|Trainer}} refuses as he reminisces [[HZ002|the last time he boarded the airship]] and remarks the view that the Rising Volt Tacklers freely see from there instead. Unaware of the incident Amethio referenced in his musings, Ult tells him he’s willing to trust him, relying on the others' words, and Amethio accepts with a small smile.

Once they arrive at the Explorers HQ, the mission starts with Amethio, Zirc, Onia, Roy, and Ult acting as decoys to draw the attention of the Explorers keeping watch while Liko and Dot head to the cargo area and hack their way in. Unfortunately, they are caught by [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], who bring out their {{p|Salamence}}. Both Pokémon use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Meowscarada and Quaxwell, but Charcadet exits from its {{i|Poké Ball}} to take the hit, triggering its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]]. The two Explorers then use their Strong Spheres on Salamence, prompting Dot to step in when she realizes Charcadet can't handle both opponents at once. However, Amethio arrives just in time. Having completed his part of the mission, he steps in to {{pkmn|battle}} in her place, allowing her to focus on hacking while making Charcadet eager to battle alongside Ceruledge.

Rubina commands Salamence to attack their opponents, forcing them to dodge as Indi waits for an opening. When Charcadet gets knocked against a wall, Ceruledge uses {{m|Shadow Claw}} repeatedly, but Salamence's rampage is not stopping. Indi's Salamence uses Flamethrower, with Charcadet protecting Ceruledge by taking it. Powered-up, the {{pkmn|category|Fire Child Pokémon}} unleashes a rapid barrage against the Dragon Pokémon, but it's ineffective. Meanwhile, Ceruledge holds its ground with the other Salamence until it lands an attack that activates the Fire Blades Pokémon's [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Weak Armor}}. Having waited for Rubina's Salamence to be {{status|Confusion|confused}} as a result of {{m|Outrage}}, Amethio attempts to have Ceruledge retaliate, but Indi's Salamence intercepts it with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, so Charcadet uses {{m|Take Down}} instead, reducing its [[recoil]] with its armor. Both Explorers become annoyed with the flow of battle and call for Salamence to power up via {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Although they are nearing their limits, Charcadet and Ceruledge combine their attacks together to counter the two Salamence before Liko has the Fire Child Pokémon use {{m|Fire Spin}} to protect them. However, Indi and Rubina send Salamence into the vortex of flames since there is nowhere to run in there, which Liko notes also applies to Salamence as she and Amethio call for their partners to attack together again. Unseen by the Trainers outside, Charcadet's armor begins to glow in a [[Evolution|blue light]]. The combined {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Ember}} hits both Salamence and temporarily forces everyone outside to shield themselves as the vortex intensifies briefly. When the vortex subsides, not only are both Salamence severely weakened, but Ceruledge is standing alongside a newly evolved {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}}. Even though the outcome is clear, the Explorers refuse to admit defeat, so Liko has Armarouge use {{m|Clear Smog}} to remove the two Salamence's increased stats while Ceruledge attacks with {{m|Phantom Force}}. The Fire Blades Pokémon attacks with {{m|Bitter Blade}} next, hitting Armarouge when Indi's Salamence dodges it and triggers Flash Fire once more. With Ceruledge's support, Liko commands Armarouge to use its strongest Ember, which transforms into a new [[move]], {{m|Armor Cannon}}, that [[Fainting|defeats]] both Salamence and the Explorers retreat.

Liko [[recall]]s Armarouge and thanks Amethio and Ceruledge for allowing the Fire Warrior Pokémon to reach its full potential. Amethio, though, says it was all Liko's hard work in raising it before recalling Ceruledge. Dot congratulates Liko on the Evolution before revealing she managed to unlock the door. Roy and Ult then rejoin the trio, albeit with {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, {{p|Sableye}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]] down from their battle earlier. Amethio tasks Zirc and Onia with keeping watch of the building in the event things turn south before leading the group to the place where the Six Heroes are held. Upon arrival, each of them rush to a box containing one of the Six Heroes, not noticing some walls being erected until its too late. Now separated, they also find themselves face to face with an Explorers member, with Spinel watching them from his throne.

Talk:List of Pokémon by animated series debut

2026-04-24T09:53:32Z

Kon00712: /* Yes Mega Zygarde and Yes Mega Rayquaza in Episode HZ135 */ new section

Those that didn't debut yet: N/A for the episode box. Those which have debuted, but only in a movie: asterisk linking to the page of the movie in question. <s>Non-legendaries which debuted in a movie but later appeared in the main anime: main anime episode number only. Legendaries which debuted in a movie and later appeared in the main anime: episode number of anime debut followed by an asterisk linking to the movie debut.</s> '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:Current standard: Any Pokémon which debuts in a movie, special episode, or Pikachu short: main anime episode number followed by an asterisk linking to the movie, special episode, or Pikachu short. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:10, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

== Pikachu Shorts ==

Do they count too?--[[User:Gyarachu|Gyarachu]] 20:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Specials ==

What about the specials and made-for-TV movies, like Legend of Thunder? [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 20:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:That's where the issue lies. For Raikou, really. LOT kinda counts like a movie for this purpose, so make it the asterisk. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== Mewtwo ==

Does Mewtwo's appearance in ''[[EP063|Battle of the Badge]]'' count, as it was wearing armour? If not, when is it first seen without armour, [[EP065|when it destroys Team Rocket's headquaters]], or in the first movie? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 21:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:Not a flashback, not a TV, so yes. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== this is odd ==

If the title of the article is "List of Pokémon by anime debut" then why does it have a list of Pokémon with their anime debut right next to them??? "By" means "in order of" in this context. We need to re-order it or rename it. --[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 22:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:While the list is sortable, it appears to simply be a text sort. i.e. * for movies at the top, followed by AG, then DP, ''then'' EP for the original series. At least could that be fixed? (Sorry, I don't know how) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 08:29, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
::The only idea I have is to create a third "airing order" column with straight numerals for easy sorting. However, I've asked TTE for help; hopefully he'll be able to come up with something more streamlined. --[[User:Martonimos|Marton]]([[wp:Chanukah|I'm Jewish]])[[User talk:Martonimos|imos]] 08:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Hopefully, adding and commenting out the numerical order before the linked text will get it to sort properly. The thing is, someone'll have to go through and add them all. --[[User:Martonimos|Marton]]([[wp:Chanukah|I'm Jewish]])[[User talk:Martonimos|imos]] 23:42, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Chatot in AG183 ==

It says that Chatot was in AG183. I've seen that episode, and I don't remember a Chatot. I went to AG183's page. It doesn't say anything about a Chatot.--[[User:Pokelova|PokelovaAni393MS.png‎]] 09:18, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
: It's suppose to be [[AG184]]....--[[Charizard (Pokémon)|Force]] [[User:Force Fire|''Fire'']] [[User talk:Force Fire|''talk'']] 09:21, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

== Episode Pages ==

''Another'' question. Should the episode pages be updated to match this list, as many of them include Pokémon in different episodes, e.g. [[EP001]] lists {{p|Gengar}} in the debuts section (although it does point out that it debuted on TV) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 09:05, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

== Splitting ==

Anyone think the list should be divided into sub-sections? Its just too huge. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 20:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

== Mewtwo==
Wasn't the episode with the 8th gym battle Mewto`s debut? --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 16:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
:No, but it certainly was Mew''two'''s debut. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
::Haha. -.- Sorry for that little mistake. --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 17:08, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== would it count? ==

Of course they aren't real, but wouldn't the mechanical charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Pikachu, Rhydon, Zapdos, Moltres, Kabutops in EP017 count as an anime debut?--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 07:20, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

== I'm curious . . . ==

. . . I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start an article about Pokémon that debut before their respective generation. The page would be big enough. All we would have to do is gather the information in chronological order of course and make sort of a history page about it. If you think a whole page is unnecesarry we could implement it into this-> [[History of Pokémon|♫]] It would take time but it would probably become a decent sized article and we could make a few links to it {{p|Marill|h}}{{p|Azurill|e}}{{p|Wailmer|r}}{{p|Buizel|e}} {{p|Manaphy|a}}{{p|Donphan|n}}{{p|Kecleon|d}} {{p|Munchlax|t}}{{p|Electivire|h}}{{p|Ho-Oh|e}}{{p|Lugia|r}}{{p|Slowking|e}}.[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]7 21:20, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

== Sandile ==

He's listed twice, once with Waruvile's sprite. I'd fix it but its too long for my browser.--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 19:49, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

== How About Two Tables? ==

One for physical debuts, and one for actual debuts, I think this would be ''much'' better. Either like this, or similar, or one table listed in a different section:
<div style="float:left">
{| {{bluetable2|c sortable}} align="center"
|- style="background: #ccf;"
! #
! Icon
! Name
! Episode

:Perhaps instead of two tables, there could just be two columns? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
::I agree, that would be a lot better (why didn't I think of that...) '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 14:44, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I think it would be cool to have either another column or another page for the first time a Pokémon depiction appears on screen in the anime. For example, in ''[[EP001|Pokemon! I Choose You]]'' we see decorations in Ash's room of Pokémon like {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, and {{p|Clefairy}}. Another example is in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', we see Bill inside the {{p|Kabuto}} costume. [[User:Vi|Vi]] ([[User talk:Vi|talk]]) 21:00, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

==Order==
Since this page is a list of Pokémon by anime debut, shouldn't they be in that order rather than NDex order? I know it is sortable, but it would make more sense to sort them this way, since it says that it is in the title. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:32, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:Agree. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:08, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:It might also help to split the table into seasons/sagas, since a single giant table with a single column is a little unweldly...[[User:PDL|PDL]] 01:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC). I think Pokémon should be listed by their debut. [[User:ReaNintendo|ReaNintendo]] 13:14, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

==Does Haxours's appearence really count?==
Since it's been made clear at the top of the page that the list only counts actual physical appearences, Haxours's appearences have so far only been in dreams and imagine spots. Fraxure had the benefit of appearing in a flashback. I just want it to be consistant.[[User:PDL|PDL]] 01:30, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
:You're right, our current (ridiculous) definition means that they both shouldnt be there (flashbacks don't count either.)
:(user points to ''How About Two Tables?'' section above. : )
'''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 10:04, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
::1)I'd like to point out that both Fraxure and Haxuros appeared in a dream that was manufested into reality. 2)It was a good enough debute for them to start appearing in the opening. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 10:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Hmmm... I forgot about that. Having said that, the text on the page does state that:
:::''This list counts only actual appearances as official. Pokémon which appear on TV in the anime or in another manner before debuting in physical form, such as Nidorino and Gengar in EP001, count as debuting when they physically appear, not when they are first seen.''
:::Since as far as I can remember, they both only appeared in Iris's imagination, and in flashbacks, they are best kept hidden untill someone changes this rule (If an Admin is reading this, please do) '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 10:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Agreed, I am waiting for Kenji's word on a few things, this being one of them [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 10:22, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

== Menu sprites for Generation VI Pokémon needed ==

Anyone please replace these question mark menu sprites to menu sprites of Generation VI Pokémon please? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ([[User talk:Cinday123|talk]]) 10:18, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

== Fantasy ==

So that includes Pokémon debuted in an episode but only in a fantasy? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 07:39, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

== Gen7 form differences ==

All the individual forms are listed for some Gen7 Pokémon (Oricorio, Lycanroc, Wishiwashi, Minior and Magearna) but not for Silvally, Solgaleo or Lunala. Is there any reason for this? Should the others be added? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 21:50, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
:I think Silvally shouldn't be listed for pretty much the same reason as Arceus: there's about a dozen and a half forms that don't really differ significantly, and the odds are poor that the anime will go out of its way to show every last one of them. As for Solgaleo and Lunala, I dunno. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:24, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

== Inconsistency ==

I’ve been looking around a bit, and I've noticed this site is really inconsistent as to what counts as an actual Pokémon debut, primarily when it comes to physical appearance versus non-physical, fake, or fantasy appearances. For instance: {{p|Mew}}'s main anime debut is considered to be ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. While it previously appeared in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]'', we're apparently not counting that appearance because it was in a fantasy. Meanwhile, the English dub debut of {{p|Dratini}} is considered to be ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' rather than ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', despite the fact the former was in a fantasy. [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 13:54, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

:Agreed. I'd like to know what the standard is for this article as well. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:05, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
::In that case, Dratini had already appeared in EP035, which was banned in the US. The EP037 "debut" is noting that it's the first time it has appeared outside of Japan (another example is Porygon for EP047).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:14, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
:::Oh, okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:28, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

== Order by episode ==

Shouldn't this be ordered by episode and not just anime? [[User:FireLizard|FireLizard]] ([[User talk:FireLizard|talk]]) 21:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
: You'll need to be more descriptive in your question, if you click on the episode header it does sort by anime episode. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:06, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

==Dynamax and Totem==
I was looking through the list and I was wondering, should Dynamax and Totem Pokemon really be included here? Totem Pokemon are just slightly larger than their regular form, other than the Totem Togedemaru, they aren't much different. While Dynamaxing can be applied to all pokemon (well, those available in the galar games), sans Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus, and pokemon that do undergo this don't have drastic changes in their appearance, unlike the Mega and Gigantamax forms. [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 11:12, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
:Yes, I also agree that the Dynamax sections are unnecessary. At some point, every Pokémon may have a Dynamax section if this is continued. --[[User:TotallyTob|'''T'''otally'''T'''ob]] 21:42, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
::There's not ''that'' many Totem and Dynamax Pokémon that have appeared in the anime. Some users might find it interesting to see which ones have appeared and when they debuted. I think it could potentially do more harm than good to take them out. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 04:49, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

== [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]] ==

Why should there be a section on this especially when that’s not a different form unlike say Mega Evolution? [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 00:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:Not sure I understand. I don't see a section for Terastallization, and Megas ''are'' also listed on this page. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 13:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
::There is a section on Tera Bug {{p|Teddiursa}} and Tera Ice {{p|Altaria}}. [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 15:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
:::Pikmin is asking why Terastallized forms are counted as debuts, which I'm kinda 50/50 about. Unlike Megas which is a completely new design/appearance, Terastallization is the same form but with a nice hat. I also noticed Dynamax is also counted when its technically the same form but bigger, unlike Gigantamax forms which completely changes the Pokémon's appearance. Again, I'm 50/50, I can see why it would count (new appearance of a kind of form) but I can see why it wouldn't (not a new design).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
::::I think I would be for removing Terastallization and Dynamax as they are not technically considered forms/form changes in the games. I also think including Terastallization adds a bit too much bloat, as there are already 26 entries just for different types of Terastallization and that'll only continue to increase. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 11:27, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::That seems reasonable. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 04:14, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

== Missing Pokemon ==

For Pokemon without any animated series debuted, they are simply left off the page. Shouldn't they be included, but with a blank entry for the episode they debuted in? Otherwise, just scrolling quickly through the list gives the impression that ''every'' Pokemon has debuted in the animated series. has This would make it consistent with the [[List of moves by animated series debut]] page. It should also make it easier to see which Pokemon have not been shown in the animated series, as well as update the page. [[User:LuigiTKO|LuigiTKO]] ([[User talk:LuigiTKO|talk]]) 19:24, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

:I agree with this. Also if the table is not gonna be sorted by default, there should be a column with the actual date on which the episode aired so we could ACTUALLY sort the list by their anime debut [[User:PokemonSpears|PokemonSpears]] ([[User talk:PokemonSpears|talk]]) 23:24, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
::x3 I agree with both of these. The Pokémon without an anime debut should be there with a blank entry, or at the very least they should be named individually in the trivia (e.g. it just says Gen VIII is missing 14 Pokémon, but which Pokémon?). And I also agree there should be a column with the date on which the episode aired.
::I'd like to contribute with this myself, but I don't wanna act without permission. [[User:PokemonSpears|PokemonSpears]] ([[User talk:PokemonSpears|talk]]) 20:11, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

== Explanatory Notes ==

For Pokémon whose debut is debatable, I propose adding an explanatory note, such as the following:

{| class="roundtable sortable" style="border: 2px solid #{{bulba color}}; background-color: #{{bulba color light}}; margin:auto; text-align:center;"
! style="background-color: #{{bulba color light}}" | Ndex
! class="unsortable" style="background-color: #{{bulba color light}}" | Art
! style="background-color: #{{bulba color light}}" | Name
! style="background-color: #{{bulba color light}}" | Episode
! style="background-color: #{{bulba color light}}" | Debut prior to the series
{{Debut/5|0003|Venusaur|1|EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad<ref group=note>Venusaur's physical debut was in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. However, it appeared prior as a robot in ''[[EP017|The Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', and as an illusion in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.</ref>}}
|}

===Footnotes===
{{Reflist|group=note}}

This way, all of the possible debuts of a Pokémon can be included. [[User:Luan|Luan]] ([[User talk:Luan|talk]]) 00:51, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

Secret Mission'') is the 120th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,352nd episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on December 5, 2025, and is scheduled to air in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2026.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
After parting with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers, [[Dot]] meets with [[Penny]] somewhere, both wearing disguises to infiltrate [[Exceed]] Museum safely. As they're discussing their plans to obtain the data on [[Laquium]], {{p|Gimmighoul}} spills its [[Gimmighoul Coin|coin]]s, prompting the group to help the {{pkmn|category|Coin Chest Pokémon}} pick it up. In the process, Dot realizes how close Gimmighoul is to [[Evolution|evolving]] into its {{p|Gholdengo|idol}}. When it's near the museum's closing time, Dot and Penny begin to infiltrate the place. Once inside, they send out their partners to help defeat the guard Pokemon. With help from [[Cervantis]], the girls manage to get to the floor that's been concealed from the public. However, Gimmighoul decides to return to the previous floor to look for more coins and gets caught by [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], who are investigating the cause of the guards being [[Fainting|knocked out]]. While Dot and Penny succeed in obtaining the data, Gimmighoul controls the two [[Explorers]] into looking for coins until the girls arrive. In an attempt to escape, the girls also run into [[Chalce]], who was informed of the situation earlier.

Seeing the [[Rotom Phone]] in Dot's hand, Chalce orders Indi and Rubina to capture the girls, with the three Explorers calling out and using [[Strong Sphere]]s on their respective partners to {{pkmn|battle}} them. Dot faces off against Indi's {{p|Drapion}} and Rubina's {{p|Scolipede}} while Penny sends out her Jolteon to assist her Sylveon against Chalce's {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Xatu}}. Drapion and Scoliopede both use {{type|poison}} attacks, so {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} takes them since it has {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|no effect}} on her while {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} counters with {{m|Air Cutter}}. Meanwhile, Penny manages to land a supereffective [[Moonblast (move)|Moonblast]] and [[Thunder Fang (move)|Thunder Fang]] on Chalce's Pokémon, knocking them down and causing the latter to resort to other measures. Seeing Gimmighoul wandering around, Chalce has Xatu capture the Coin Chest Pokémon to use as a hostage. When Dot chases after Chalce to get Gimmighoul back, the latter presses a button to lower the shutters, not only to separate the girls from each other, but to also remove the type advantage they had. Even though Gimmighoul feels guilty for causing the situation, Dot reassures it they can still win, getting Tinkaton to charge up in preparation for {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}. Chalce immediately sees through this since [[HZ110|it's not the first time Dot pulled it off]] and has Xatu {{m|Teleport}} in front of Tinkaton before she can attack and attack with {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Quaxwell tries to counter, but a Teleport from Xatu results in him accidentally attacking Tinkaton instead. Tinkaton retaliates with another Gigaton Hammer when Xatu teleports behind it, only for the Mystic Pokémon to use {{m|Power Swap}} to switch their {{stat|Attack}} power, rendering the Hammer Pokémon unable to lift her hammer. Gimmighoul watches as both of Chalce's Pokémon deal severe [[damage]] to Dot's Pokémon and decides to no longer stand by, taking the attack meant to finish off its allies. However, Chalce also seizes the moment to snatch the Rotom Phone holding the data from Dot when she is stunned by Gimmighoul's action. Now desperate to get the phone back, Dot notices Gimmighoul reaching for a coin along with the brief glow it emanated. She realizes the implication of that and has Gimmighoul distract the unimpressed Chalce with {{m|Astonish}} while she goes for the coin. Once she retrieves the coin, Dot tosses it to Gimmighoul, allowing it to evolve into {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}.

Gholdengo uses its new surfboard to retrieve Dot's Rotom Phone, while Dot recalls Quaxwell and Tinkaton into their {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Dot then boards Gholdengo's surfboard and has the Coin Entity Pokémon break through the shutters with {{m|Make It Rain}}. When she reaches her friend, Dot is both surprised and relieved to see Penny had won her battle against Indi and Rubina. She calls out to Penny to recall her Pokemon, which she complies with, before scooping her up onto the surfboard. With another Make It Rain to shatter the window, Dot and Penny successfully escape from the museum, though Chalce assumes they wouldn't be able to change the situation much at this stage. Dot drops off Penny, who promises to give the data to [[Jacq]] for further analysis, before rejoining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and urging them to leave right away so that the Explorers won't come after them. In the daytime, as Dot examines the data, she gets a shocking call from [[Friede]], who reveals he is on his way back from space.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In [[Briar]]'s lab, she begins to reveal her findings as soon as the group assembles. By collating the information collected by various parties, Briar discovers that the key to ridding the world of [[Laquium]] lies in the special {{Tera}} [[Type]] only accessible in {{p|Terapagos}}'s {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}: {{type|Stellar}}. Briar questions the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] about the state of the [[Six Heroes]] when they [[HZ088|Terastallized in]] [[Laqua]] and [[Liko]] answers it appeared as though they resonated with [[Pagogo]]. Briar comes to the same conclusion that [[Diana]] did [[HZ108|some time ago]]: Pagogo didn't have enough power to purify the Laquium, even with the power of the Six Heroes. She also slightly amends Diana's theory; it's not the eighteen types in general that Pagogo needs to resonate with, but specifically the eighteen Tera Types of Pokémon on the same wavelength as the Six Heroes in order to use its full power. Despite the difficult path ahead of them, the Rising Volt Tacklers is determined to press on, starting with rescuing the Six Heroes from the [[Explorers]]. In order to do so, further research into Laquium is required and [[Dot]] decides to call [[Cervantis]] for help, having exchanged contact numbers a while ago. As Dot contacts the former director of [[Exceed]], [[Roy]] declares they'll leave [[Blueberry Academy]] right away, surprising Liko and [[Ult]] with his rush. [[Drayton]] watches the group take a deep breath which doesn't ease Roy's distress and decides to ask the younger boy for a {{pkmn|battle}}. Although he tries to decline the offer, Liko's words and {{p|Crocalor}}'s enthusiasm convinces Roy to accept and the group moves to the [[Polar Plaza]].
[[File:Roy Crocalor and Kilowattrel.png|thumb|left|250px|Crocalor and Kilowattrel battling together]]
Like their [[HZ116|previous battle]], Roy brings out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Crocalor while Drayton calls out {{p|Archaludon}} and {{p|Kingdra}}. As soon as [[Carmine]] starts the battle, Roy finds himself at a disadvantage when Drayton has Kingdra use {{m|Rain Dance}}. Archaludon shoots an {{m|Electro Shot}}, but Kilowattrel saves Crocalor in time. Kingdra follows up with {{m|Hurricane}}, but the wind generates electricity in Kilowattrel's wings thanks to its [[Ability]], {{a|Wind Power}}. Crocalor falls off from his teammate's back and panics momentarily before Roy has him charge at his opponent with {{m|Flame Charge}}. Despite using {{m|Snarl}} to stop them from approaching, Archaludon is still hit by Crocalor and Kilowattrel's combination attack. However, this results in the {{pkmn|category|Alloy Pokémon}}'s {{stat|Defense}} increasing due to {{a|Stamina}}. Archaludon retaliates with {{m|Metal Burst}} which successfully deals [[damage]] to Roy's Pokémon.

Roy becomes troubled on how to give it his all, but his Pokémon encourage him by taking their own initiative. Drayton has Kingdra use Hurricane to prevent the two Pokémon from getting any closer, but with an idea from Crocalor, Roy has him use {{m|Flamethrower}} to act as an accelerator for Kilowattrel, with the Fire Croc Pokémon falling off shortly after to give the Frigatebird Pokémon a boost in speed and a chance to land {{m|Spark}}. Kingdra becomes [[Fainting|knocked out]] once Crocalor uses {{m|Disarming Voice}} on it, leaving Drayton with only one Pokémon on his side. This prompts the {{tc|BB League Elite Four}} to take the battle more seriously, calling for Archaludon to use Electro Shot again and Kilowattrel once again saves Crocalor. When the clouds part to reveal the sun, Kilowattrel flies them into the sun, making Archaludon miss its second attempt to attack with Electro Shot. Roy, motivated to grow stronger alongside his Pokémon, orders Crocalor to use a Diving Flame Charge after the latter jumps off Kilowattrel's back. However, Archaludon catches Crocalor before the attack could land and counters with Metal Burst, resulting in Kilowattrel being defeated after taking the hit for its teammate.
[[File:Roy Skeledirge and Kilowattrel.png|thumb|250px|Skeledirge and Kilowattrel after winning the battle]]
Both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s become motivated to win now that it's come down to one Pokémon on each side. As Archaludon charges up, Roy reminisces the journey he and Crocalor went through since he was a {{p|Fuecoco}}. Once it gained the energy, Archaludon shoots an Electro Shot and Crocalor uses Flamethrower to meet it in the middle. While both attacks clash, Roy is determined to grow stronger with his partner, with Crocalor's fireball glowing brighter in response. When the attacks are let up, Crocalor uses {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, but Archaludon is able to stop the debris from hitting it, raising its Defense again. However, Crocalor persistently stomps to force the attack to land. Just as he lands the attack with a determined stomp, Crocalor's fireball transforms into a fiery bird that lands on the Fire Croc Pokémon's head and engulfs him in a light in the shape of a flame, [[Evolution|evolving]] him into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}. In response to this, Drayton pulls out his [[Tera Orb]] to Terastallize Archaludon, and Roy does the same with Skeledirge. The Pokémon unleash Terastallization-boosted attacks that fill the battlefield with smoke. When it clears up, both Archaludon and Skeledirge are on the ground with their Terastallization undone, but only the latter manages to get up while the former had fainted. As such, Carmine declares Roy the winner and everyone congratulates him and Skeledirge. Afterwards, Cervantis calls Dot while the others were giving their farewells. He reveals the existence of the Exceed Museum, which is actually a data center that most likely contains the data they need. Since it's impossible to hack from the outside, Dot enlists [[Penny]]'s help to retrieve the data from within the museum.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Liko]] and her Pokémon are having breakfast in the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria|cafeteria]] when [[Ann]] arrives with a suggestion they go look for {{p|Ditto}} Blocks for a [[Blueberry Quest]]. Liko agrees to the idea, wanting to find a training opponent for {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}. However, after seeing {{p|Hattrem}} give up her food to Charcadet and her {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s attention to {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, Ann frowns at the {{pkmn|category|Serene Pokémon}}'s consideration. Later, as Ann explains how hunting for Ditto Blocks work, Liko ends up finding one and Charcadet is fired up to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Meowscarada uses her flower stem to stop the Pokémon from escaping, but Hattrem pleads for the Magician Pokémon to let it go. Afterwards, the group splits up to find more Ditto Blocks around the [[Terarium]], with a {{shiny}} one being found by Meowscarada with Hattrem's help. Ann then proposes her {{p|Samurott}} as an opponent for Charcadet, leading to a battle where Liko thinks about how to help the Fire Child Pokémon improve. After some rounds, Ann asks for a break and Liko decides to ask Hattrem to assist her with making [[sandwich]]es. However, Meowscarada also enlists Hattrem's help in reining in their teammate, who still wants to battle, which the latter is all too happy to do. Before she goes, Liko tells Hattrem to do what makes her happy so that she would stop holding back, but Ann is bothered greatly by Liko's words.
[[File:Liko Charcadet Hatterene Meowscarada.png|thumb|250px|left|Meowscarada and Charcadet admiring Hatterene]]
While the Pokémon battle and the girls make sandwiches, Ann reveals since she is the middle child in her family, people often thought she doesn't get to do what she wants, much like how Liko assumed was the case with Hattrem earlier. She says it is not the case as she would do anything to make her siblings happy because she loves them, making Liko realize she had misunderstood Hattrem. Ann calls over Hattrem for Liko, and the Serene Pokémon helps her to make sandwiches as planned. As they were eating, Liko tells her partner how she feels. Ever since [[HZ021|they met]] when she was a {{p|Hatenna}}, Liko had been worried about her, but the latter had always found a way to make someone happy because she sensed their feelings until now. Liko is apologetic for not realizing it sooner, but expresses her own happiness at having Hattrem with her, causing the Pokémon to shed tears of happiness of her own before sharing a hug with her Trainer. Overwhelmed with happiness, Hattrem unexpectedly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}}.

[[File:Liko and Ann party HZ118.png|250px|thumb|Liko, Ann, and their Pokémon watching the diamond dust]]
Everyone enjoys the sandwiches while the girls talk about Hatterene, with Liko finding out more about her on the [[Pokédex]]. Hatterene returns with three Ditto Blocks hidden under her hair, to Liko's surprise as she didn't notice her leaving. This motivates Ann to try harder in finding Ditto Blocks and she leaves Liko to search for them. Liko tries to rally her Pokémon, but a Ditto that Hatterene caught earlier wanders into a cave, prompting the group to follow it. A cry from inside makes the group rush to Ditto's aid as {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Tynamo}} and {{p|Eelektrik}} close in on the Transform Pokémon. Charcadet steps up to the plate and Liko has it use {{m|Ember}} to negate an attack from an Eelektrik. Meowscarada and Hatterene support their teammate by warning the Fire Child Pokémon when many Tynamo try to sneak an attack from behind. In the process, Liko observes how Charcadet's firing speed has increased, allowing it to use Ember in rapid succession and defeat all the wild Pokémon inside the cave. Meowscarada also manages to rescue Ditto with her flower stem and gives it to Hatterene to comfort it. Before they could escape though, a wild {{p|Eelektross}} shows up and blocks their exit. Liko is worried about getting through, but Hatterene decides to confront the EleFish Pokémon. She intimidates Eelektross with her aura before attacking it with her newly learned {{m|Psycho Cut}} and healing it with {{m|Heal Pulse}}. Her repeated actions intimidate Eelektross even more and, out of fear, it allows Liko's group to exit the cave, where Ann is waiting.

Ann notes how possessive Meowscarada and Hatterene are of Liko now and refuses to back down, revealing she has a surprise for her close friend. From above, small specks of light fall, and Ann explains it is called {{wp|diamond dust}}. Having seen Liko hide her concerns before, Ann was worried but she feels Liko is fine now that she's surrounded by [[Rising Volt Tacklers|people]] and Pokémon who care for her, with Liko adding Ann to the mix. The next morning, [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] tell Liko about [[Briar]] finally finishing her research on [[Pagogo]], making the group curious as to what she found out.

What is {{tt|Uruto|Ult}}'s Training?'') is the 117th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,349th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Liko]] and [[Dot]] arrive at [[Briar]]'s lab, with [[Carmine]] and [[Penny]] already present. The two new arrivals are taken aback when Briar asks about [[Pagogo]]'s favorite food out of nowhere, which she explains it could help her understand more about {{p|Terapagos}} while researching. While Carmine becomes jealous at Liko for receiving Briar's full attention, [[Lacey]] proposes a {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Ult]] to help him train on the condition he studies with her if he loses. Ult eagerly agrees and starts the battle by having {{p|Sableye}} attack Lacey's {{p|Excadrill}} with {{m|Throat Chop}}, but it gets pushed back by the latter's {{m|X-Scissor}}. Sableye's {{m|Power Gem}} also becomes {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|mostly ineffective}} due to Excadrill's typing. Before Ult can command for an attack, Lacey stumps him with a question that he couldn't answer. As a result, Sableye takes a hit from Excadrill's {{m|Dig}}. Another question leaves Ult fumbling even with a hint, so Lacey {{Tera}}stallizes Excadrill into a {{type|Fairy}} to show the answer to her question, resulting in Ult watching Sableye being defeated by a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. Since he lost, Ult agrees to study with Lacey, making the girl pleased. Back in the lab, Carmine shows off how capable she is as Briar's assistant, but she becomes jealous again when Liko is able to handle Briar's needs just as well. Just then, {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} controls Carmine and makes her find a [[Gimmighoul Coin]], which leads to the girl chasing after the {{pkmn|category|Coin Chest Pokémon}} and Dot going after both of them.

Meanwhile, while looking for themes to question Ult about, the two come across [[Roy]] doing some "relaxing" training while following [[Drayton]]'s [[HZ116|advice]]. Seeing [[Captain Pikachu]], Lacey questions Ult on where a {{p|Pikachu}} stores its electricity. Unfortunately, not only does Ult not know the answer, he also gets electrocuted by an irritated Cap. After getting another question wrong though, Ult becomes fed up, but Lacey carries on by calling out her {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, theming her next question after them. Ult is unable to answer this question as well and Drayton gives the answer before Lacey could, both not noticing the look Ult has when he sees Drayton's own {{p|Dragonite}}. Once Drayton leaves on Dragonite, Ult muses how close they must be, bringing out his [[Dusk Ball]] while explaining how his own Dragonite doesn't come out. When he cries out how he wants to be close to Dragonite as well, Ult becomes surprised to see the Dragon Pokémon come out willingly. At the same time, Dot and Carmine successfully find Gimmighoul in the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria|cafeteria]], and the latter {{pkmn|Trainer}} decides to train the former. At the battlefield, the two Trainers end up having their Pokémon exchange {{m|Astonish}}, to {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}'s exasperation. When both Trainers become exhausted, Carmine notices how Dot resembles [[Kieran|her brother]].

In the [[Coastal Biome]], Ult tells Lacey about Dragonite's purpose and how it used to belong to [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]]. In return, she reveals she is inspired to have her own Excadrill thanks to [[Clay|her father]] having his own {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}. Ult is asked why he wants to become stronger, and when he says it's to be the best Trainer out there, Lacey calls out on his lie. She notes Ult's honesty until now and recites something her father likes to say before asking for the reason again. Reluctantly, Ult brings up [[HZ111|the battle against the]] [[Six Heroes]] where he felt powerless to help, and therefore unable to fight for others like he wanted. The {{tc|BB League Elite Four}} member points out Ult wanting to fight for others is already a kind act and asks what he wants to do with Dragonite. However, he couldn't answer when an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}} appears behind them, making Lacey realize they had trespassed into its territory and the group runs away. While escaping, Ult realizes what Dragonite wants to do and agrees to battle alongside it. Taking Lacey's advice into account, Ult manages to [[Fainting|defeat]] the Alolan Exeggutor. Afterwards, Ult admits he enjoys battling alongside Dragonite and reaffirms his decision to become closer to the Dragon Pokémon, realizing he was too lost in his father's words he never considered what Dragonite wanted as well. After everything they went through though, Ult is still unable to be honest with Lacey, to the latter's exasperation.

==Major events==

* [[Ult]] has a {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Lacey]] and loses.
* [[Dot]] has a battle with [[Carmine]], which is called off.

==Plot==
[[File:Dot team HZ116.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot and her Pokémon exploring]]
In the morning, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] discuss their plans at [[Blueberry Academy]] not only among themselves but also with their friends. Afterwards, they meet [[Briar]] and her assistant, [[Carmine]], who they had momentarily forgotten from the [[HZ069|last time they met]] in [[Kitakami]]. They explain the situation with the [[Strong Sphere]]s and she agrees to look further into it, excited with another aspect of {{p|Terapagos}} she has yet to discover. In the meantime, [[Lacey]] helps to train the Rising Volt Tacklers by recommending some Pokémon they could {{pkmn|battle}} and spots in each of the four areas in the [[Terarium]]. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] head off to the areas they decide to train in while Lacey tracks down [[Drayton]] and [[Ult]], who ran off while she was explaining the training plan. In the [[Savanna Biome]], Liko has {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pyroar}} before being joined by [[Ann]]. In the [[Coastal Biome]], Dot has {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} battle a {{p|Crabrawler}}, while Ult runs away from Lacey after she gives him some advice when he gets attacked by a sleeping {{p|Overqwil}} in the [[Polar Biome]]. In the [[Canyon Biome]], Roy trains his Pokémon, not noticing Drayton watching him from elsewhere.

After {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} saves {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} from falling off a bridge, Drayton appears and compliments their teamwork while wondering what Roy is up to. Roy asks the [[Elite Four]] member to train him and Drayton opts to do so via his [[Rotom Phone]]. While collecting [[Berry|berries]] according to Drayton's instructions, Lacey appears and becomes infuriated when she finds out what her fellow Elite Four member put Roy through. Lacey confronts Drayton in the [[League Club Room]] for using Roy to complete his [[Blueberry Quest]]s under the pretense of training. Director [[Cyrano]] appears in the room and mentions Director [[Clavell]] asking him to look after Roy and the others during their stay. The director even mentions [[HZ055|the time when Roy battled against]] [[Hassel]] in [[Elite Four Tag Battle|an event]], which piques Drayton's interest since [[Drayden|his grandfather]] is friends with the art teacher, resulting in him bringing Roy somewhere. Meanwhile, Ult traverses through the [[Chargestone Cavern]] and comes across a {{p|Galvantula}}. He decides to have {{p|Sableye}} battle it, ignoring Lacey's advice and winds up getting the {{pkmn|category|Darkness Pokémon}} trapped in the EleSpider Pokémon's {{m|Electroweb|webs}}. Lacey arrives to find Sableye just beating Galvantula and notices Ult not heeding her advice based on the presence of the eletric webs on Sableye, leading to him running away again. As Dot meets [[Penny]] again thanks to {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}}, Carmine informs Liko of Briar's request to meet her in the lab with Dot and [[Pagogo]]. She also reveals she knows about the visitors being part of the Rising Volt Tacklers from her teacher and encourages Liko to continue on regardless of what others think.

Drayton brings Roy to the [[Polar Plaza]] and the latter asks for a [[Double Battle]]. The Blueberry Academy student calls out {{p|Archaludon}} and {{p|Kingdra}} to battle against Crocalor and Kilowattrel, and he begins the battle by having the Dragon Pokémon use {{m|Hurricane}} while the Alloy Pokémon charges up. While unable to get close, Kilowattrel's wings are charged with electricity, resulting in Roy calling for it to use {{m|Electro Ball}} on Archaludon. The attack is negated by Archaludon using {{m|Electro Shot}}, but Kingdra is hit by a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Disarming Voice}} before the Alloy Pokémon uses {{m|Snarl}} to cancel the other [[sound-based move]]. Roy is forced to have Crocalor ride on Kilowattrel, and Drayton has Kingdra use {{m|Hydro Pump}} that the Frigatebird Pokémon is able to outmaneuver. Crocalor attacks with {{m|Flamethrower}}, only for {{m|Draco Meteor}} to force the two Pokémon to focus on avoiding the meteors, which prove to be even more difficult when Kingdra's Hurricane sends the meteors in unpredictable directions. Using Disarming Voice and {{m|Uproar}}, the meteors are pushed away from them. Drayton decides he needs to build up momentum and has Kingdra use {{m|Rain Dance}}, which not only increases its {{stat|speed}} thanks to {{a|Swift Swim}}, but also increases power to its {{type|Water}} attacks. Drayton has Archaludon use Electro Shot, which fires immediately due to the [[rain]] catching Roy off-guard. This[[Fainting| defeats]] Kilowattrel and renders Crocalor as the only Pokémon capable to battle. His attempt to use {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} fails due to the slippery surface and Kingdra seizes the chance to defeat the Fire Croc Pokémon with a powered-up {{m|Wave Crash}}, making Drayton the winner. Roy is desperate to grow stronger but is left confused when Drayton tells him to relax instead. In the Coastal Biome, Lacey catches up to Ult again and declares they shall study to help the latter become stronger.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
The episode begins with someone's {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} attacking with {{m|Swift}} in a [[Double Battle]] against {{p|Samurott}} and {{p|Sandslash}}. The {{pkmn|Trainer}} of the latter Pokémon, [[Ann]], has her Pokémon counter with {{m|Drill Run}}. Minun uses {{m|Helping Hand}} to power up Plusle's {{m|Grass Knot}}, allowing the attack to bind Samurott and Sandslash together. Sandslash quickly breaks the bind with {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and the Trainer of both {{pkmn|category|Cheering Pokémon}}, [[Lacey]], compliments Ann for being able to utilize what she has learned at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Ann has Samurott use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, but both Plusle and Minun negate with {{m|Discharge}}, which triggers their respective {{Abilities}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}} and {{a|Volt Absorb}}, in the process. Ann is left in awe at Lacey's skills, with {{an|Nemona}} getting excited from the audience seats. The school's director, [[Cyrano]], joins her and the two discuss Ann's presence as an exchange student. Meanwhile, the [[Brave Olivine]] approaches Blueberry Academy and the younger members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] are in awe of the school.

They leave the airship with the older members of the group and are greeted by Cyrano at the gate. While bringing them to [[Briar]], he allows the group to train at the school and even arranges their accommodation. However, Briar completely forgets about their arrival and asks the group to meet at her office tomorrow instead. While pondering what to do with their newfound free time, [[Dot]] asks Cyrano about how the school came to be in the middle of the ocean. The school's director is saved from answering by Lacey, who exchanges introductions with the Rising Volt Tacklers. Cyrano tasks Lacey with giving the school's visitors a tour, and she reluctantly accepts, knowing how he can't be trusted with giving tours due to his forgetful nature. Lacey brings the group to the [[Terarium]], where they are amazed to see a man-made environment that is split into four different areas — the [[Savanna Biome]], [[Coastal Biome]], [[Canyon Biome]], and [[Polar Biome]] — which allow Pokémon to thrive anywhere. While [[Ult]] chases after the distracted {{p|Sableye}}, the others spot a {{Tera}}stallized {{p|Tauros}}, which Lacey explains is due to the Terarium Core resting above them. Having briefly heard from Briar about doing maintenance on this, Lacey reveals [[Terastal energy]] coming out from the core is what allows the [[wild Pokémon]] to Terastallize. Lacey then brings the group to the [[Central Plaza]] where they reunite with Ann and Nemona. Nemona happily reveals she came to Blueberry Academy with [[Penny]], who is elsewhere at the moment, before challenging [[Roy]] to a Double Battle of their own. While Roy brings out {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} like [[HZ101|last time]], Nemona calls out {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Decidueye}}, having caught the latter as a {{p|Rowlet}} after arriving at the school. Lacey confirms the {{pkmn|battle}} will end once someone has two [[Fainting|knocked out]] Pokémon and begins the battle.

Decidueye avoids a {{m|Flamethrower}} from Crocalor by jumping into the air before entering a portal with {{m|Phantom Force}}. Upon exiting, Decidueye tries to attack Lucario, but it avoids the Arrow Quill Pokémon. Lucario manages to block a follow-up attack from Pawmot, resulting in Nemona getting her Pokémon to react defensively, with the Hands-On Pokémon using {{m|Dig}}. While it is underground, Roy calls for Crocalor and Lucario to focus their attacks on Decidueye, who is in the air. Lucario and Decidueye take on each other as Pawmot comes up from the ground, only for it to accidentally attack its ally when Lucario holds it in place from behind. While Crocalor attacks Pawmot, Lucario was forced to stop its attack midway when it [[Escape prevention|gets stuck in place]] as a result of its shadow getting struck by {{m|Spirit Shackle}} from Decidueye. Lucario is unable to escape the effect of the arrow and gets defeated by Nemona's Pokémon, leaving Roy with only Crocalor. To add on to Nemona's advantage, Pawmot is now a pure {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon thanks to {{m|Double Shock}}, which [[Type change|removes]] the user's {{t|Electric}} type, reducing the effectiveness of Crocalor's {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. However, Roy isn't fazed by this setback and Terastallizes Crocalor, with Nemona doing the same with Pawmot. Crocalor presses forward with {{m|Flame Charge}} to stop Pawmot before it finishes charging its power but gets caught in Decidueye's Spirit Shackle. Crocalor musters up the strength to escape Decidueye's Spirit Shackle, but it's too late and Pawmot's enhanced {{m|Focus Punch}} finishes off Crocalor, making Nemona the winner of the Double Battle.

Afterwards, the group compliments Roy and Nemona's battle before Ult, who joined the spectators earlier, asks Nemona for a battle. Unfortunately, Lacey reminds Nemona about her return to [[Paldea]], leaving Ult frustrated by another missed opportunity to battle. After Nemona leaves, the visiting Rising Volt Tacklers express their desire to grow stronger as Trainers. Ann suggests having the other {{tc|student}}s help, such as Lacey, who happens to be part of the {{tc|BB League Elite Four}}. Just then, she is joined by a fellow Elite Four member, [[Drayton]], whom she asks to help her. Despite the visitors also asking him to help, he casually turns them down, getting into an argument with Lacey. Nonetheless, [[Liko]], Roy, Dot, and Ult begin their training at Blueberry Academy.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Ash]]
Ash grew up in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his mother, {{Delia}}, as his father spent most of his time traveling. Eventually, Ash would meet {{an|Professor Oak}} and his grandson [[Gary Oak]].

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in a forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]].
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Ash and Gary watching a movie]]
[[JN001|At the age of six]], Ash learned that Professor Oak would be holding a Pokémon Summer Camp, and eagerly asked his mother {{Delia}} if he could attend. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, she signed him up but also told him that she had things to do outside of the home during the day the camp would take place, so he would have to get himself there in time on his own. Unfortunately for Ash, he ended up breaking his alarm clock in his sleep and overslept, missing the camp.

[[XY007|Later]], Ash managed to attend another one of Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camps. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

As seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', Ash and Gary used to be friends at one point in time and even went to watch movies together. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and Gary Oak both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the series. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', followed by a {{AP|Pidgeotto}} the next day.

In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's [[Brock's siblings|younger siblings]]. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.
[[File:Ash Kanto first partners.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Kanto first partner Pokémon]]
Ash would go on to obtain the remaining Kanto first partner Pokémon. In ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', Ash and friends found a [[Hidden Village]] protected by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Although hostile at first, Bulbasaur warmed up to Ash after he saved an {{p|Oddish}} from Team Rocket. Bulbasaur agreed to join Ash if he could defeat it in battle, which he did with Pikachu, adding Bulbasaur to his team. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by his former Trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught him. In ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', Ash and friends met the [[Squirtle Squad]], a rogue group of Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers. They were tricked by Team Rocket into capturing Pikachu, after which they betrayed and bombed them. Ash went back to rescue the {{AP|Squirtle}} leader, which touched it enough to join his team. The remaining members left with [[Officer Jenny]] to become firefighters.

Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
[[File:Ash and friends OS 2.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash with Misty and Tracey]]
Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.

Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16, his defeat coming in the form of his Charizard refusing to battle for him.

[[File:Ash Orange League Hall of Fame.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Orange League [[Hall of Fame]]]]
Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Islands]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Islands, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon Watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, becoming an Honorable Trainer and earning himself a spot in the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]]. Before leaving the Orange Islands, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and {{pkmn2|released}} it back into the wild.

Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with Bulbasaur. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.

Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 2-on-2; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Ash and friends AG.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash with Brock, May, and Max]]
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Petalburg Gym]] {{FB|Gym|Leader}} [[Norman]]'s children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], Brock rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu getting possessed by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s unintentional help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.

While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and traveled with him through Sinnoh as he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.

While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him, Paul would often come out the better in their battles as his Pokémon were very powerful, due to him only keeping Pokémon that were naturally really strong. Ash's Pokémon, though they grew under his command and became strong in their own right, could not yet equal those of Paul's. Later events would soon lead to a particularly crushing defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon in return, this being Ash's heaviest loss in any battle up to that point. Following the defeat, Ash acknowledged that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in the future.
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]
[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two official Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.

As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with the legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.

Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, notably using Paul's discarded {{p|Chimchar}}, now an {{p|Infernape}}, to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle at the same magnitude as his loss to Paul at Lake Acuity, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. After ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his later travels as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
[[File:Ash and friends BW.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Iris and Cilan]]
Shortly after returning home from his Sinnoh journey, Ash traveled with Delia and Professor Oak on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling to Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.

As they journeyed, Ash and his friends once again found themselves caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|forces of nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.

After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learned of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their dreams.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash as a {{tc|Baron}} at the [[Battle Chateau]]]]
After his brief visit to Pallet Town and having left his Pokémon in Professor Oak's care beside Pikachu, Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon [[Evolution]] he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.

Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the {{badge|Bug}}, after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his Gym by his invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.

Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader {{an|Korrina}} to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.
[[File:Ash and friends XY 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie]]
Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends came across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Some time afterward, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash also supported Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.

Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.

Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the villainous team [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their protective custody. Some time afterward, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|hometown]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.
[[File:Ash and Greninja Bond Phenomenon.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Greninja activating the Bond Phenomenon]]
Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful in mastering the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.

After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader [[Wulfric]] in a battle where all three of his Pokémon were unable to bring down Wulfric's second Pokémon, {{p|Avalugg}}. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back-and-forth battle that eventually came down to [[Alain's Charizard|Alain's Mega Charizard X]] against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.
[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. However, upon hearing Pikachu's voice, Ash resisted the machine's influence, even getting Greninja to do the same thing. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash and Greninja broke free from their bindings by using the Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.

Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bid farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate the remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well and returned to Pallet Town.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his classmates]]
Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.

Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.
[[File:Ash and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Z-Ring]]
Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Also, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.

One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed [[Ash's Solgaleo|Nebby]] by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.

Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby open up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.

During Kukui and Burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where {{an|Professor Burnet}} temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return home.
[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.

Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu "pre-trial". Afterward, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].

Ash led the Ultra Guardians' investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{an|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{an|Lunala}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their [[Z-Power]] with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterward, 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. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.

Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly appointed island kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].
[[File:Ash Champion.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after winning the Manalo Conference]]
Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{OBP|Meltan|recurring|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

After winning the Alola League championship, Ash was given the right to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal. However, during a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} invasion of the [[Manalo Stadium]], the Masked Royal's true identity as Professor Kukui was exposed. With his cover blown, Kukui decided to battle Ash as himself and make the exhibition match a Full Battle, which Ash agreed to. During the battle, Ash's Torracat was finally able to defeat its longtime rival, [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], and evolve into an {{AP|Incineroar}} itself. Before Kukui could send out his last Pokémon, Tapu Koko appeared and took its place in the battle. When Ash was down to his last Pokémon, Pikachu, Tapu Koko gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], while Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing both Pokémon to unleash their signature Z-Moves. In the end, Ash's Pikachu's Z-Move proved superior and defeated Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match with Ash's victory.

After the Manalo Conference had ended, Ash was left unsure of what to do next. However, after hearing [[Olivia]] mention how important knowing the "outside world" is, he decided to return home and start traveling around the world. After saying farewell to his classmates, Kukui, and Burnet, he boarded a plane back to Kanto, leaving all of his current [[party]] Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) under the two Professors' care.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Ash goal JN.png|thumb|250px|Ash's goal of battling Monarch Leon]]
Sometime after his return to Kanto, Ash joined Professor Oak in attending the opening of the new [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]]. During the opening ceremony, the head of the lab, [[Professor Cerise]], informed the attendees that a rare Pokémon would be appearing at the local port shortly. Ash eagerly rushed over there and found out the rare Pokémon was a Lugia. During this encounter, he also met a boy named [[Goh]], and the two shared a ride with Lugia throughout Kanto. When they later returned to the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise was amazed by the information they had gathered about Lugia, and he asked them to become his [[Professor's assistant|research assistants]]. They accepted the offer and were provided with their room to stay in. Delia also left Mimey at the lab to take care of Ash while he stayed there.

Later, Ash and Goh traveled to the [[Galar]] region to watch the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. The match ended in the victory of Galar's undefeated Champion {{an|Leon}}, thus making him the Monarch, the official strongest Trainer in the {{pkmn|world}}. Inspired by this, Ash decided he wanted to battle Leon himself. However, before he could challenge him, a [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} went on a rampage and started causing havoc. While Ash and Goh battled it, Pikachu ended up Gigantamaxing as well, therefore giving him enough power to defeat Drednaw. Leon, impressed by Ash's performance, accepted his challenge to a battle. Ash also received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Leon. After Ash lost, he decided to take part in the World Coronation Series as well and climb through its ranks to one day challenge Leon again.

Upon entering the World Coronation Series, Ash immediately started building up a winning streak, soon even reaching the Great Class after defeating Korrina. Ash's winning streak came to an end, however, when he encountered [[Bea]], a {{type|Fighting}} Gym Leader from Galar, who was also aiming to defeat Leon. In their two-on-two match at the [[Fighting Dojo]], Ash failed to defeat a single one of Bea's Pokémon, with her powerful {{p|Grapploct}} with its many limbs and {{m|Octolock}} proving especially troublesome. This crushing defeat caused Ash to start losing his self-confidence and led to him entering a losing streak, even resulting in him falling back into the Normal Class. This caused him to get depressed, until he was snapped back into his senses by a motivational speech from Goh. Thanks to this, he quickly fought his way back into the Great Class and challenged Bea to a rematch at the [[Cianwood Gym]], managing to tie with her this time.

One night, Ash's Dynamax Band began to glow. After learning about cases of Pokémon [[Dynamax]]ing in Galar outside of {{cat|Power Spots}}, Ash and Goh headed there to investigate. Soon after arriving in the region, Ash and Goh ended up getting separated while in the [[Slumbering Weald]], where Ash encountered {{OBP|Zacian|recurring}}, whereas Goh encountered {{OBP|Zamazenta|recurring}}. Later, Ash encountered Leon and joined him in taking care of the Dynamax Pokémon rampaging around Galar. During this quest, they ended up encountering [[Rose|Chairman Rose]] and [[Oleana]], and Ash accompanied them to dine and spend a night at [[Rose Tower]]. When he departed the next day to rendezvous with Goh, {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} emerged from the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]], starting the [[Darkest Day]] and prompting Ash to head there. At the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash re-encountered Rose and engaged him in a battle, eventually winning thanks to his newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}}. Reuniting with Goh, the two then engaged in a battle against Eternatus, after Leon had failed to stop it. With Zacian and Zamazenta's help, they successfully defeated Eternatus and sealed it away, ending the Darkest Day.
[[File:Ash Chloe Dawn Goh.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Dawn, Goh, and Chloe]]
Following his second battle with Bea, Ash entered another winning streak, steadily increasing his ranking. [[JN065|One day]], he received a letter from Iris, challenging him to a World Coronation Series battle. He happily accepted her invitation, but was later surprised to find out that Iris had succeeded [[Alder]] as the new Champion of Unova. After an intense battle, Ash defeated his former traveling companion and rose to the Ultra Class as a result. In his first Ultra Class battle, Ash was pitted against [[Volkner]] and succeeded in defeating him. Following the match, Volkner informed Ash that Cynthia was taking part in the World Coronation Series as well, and had managed to climb her way into the Master Class.

Knowing that he was going to be facing very strong opponents in the Ultra and Master Classes, Ash sought Korrina's help to Mega Evolve his Lucario. After receiving a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]] from Korrina, Ash traveled to [[Mega Island]] and managed to obtain himself a [[Lucarionite]], just in time to receive a message informing him that Bea was to be his next Ultra Class opponent. As such, Ash then traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]] to settle his score with Bea once and for all on her home turf. Using his newly acquired Mega Lucario, Ash was able to defeat Bea's Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}, finally earning him a victory against his rival.

After defeating Bea, Ash sought [[Allister]]'s help in Gigantamaxing his {{AP|Gengar}}. Thanks to the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} made by him, Gengar was able to unlock its Gigantamax potential, which proved useful in Ash's World Coronation Series battle against [[Marnie]].

His victories kept bringing Ash more and more fame as the rising star of Kanto, causing the news of his next Ultra Class battle, this one against [[Drasna]] of the Kalos [[Elite Four]], to gain widespread media attention. Following a reunion and a training session with Clemont and Bonnie, Ash took on Drasna and defeated her, putting him at the very top of the Ultra Class. As such, his next match was to be an entrance battle against [[Raihan]], the lowest-ranked Trainer in the Master Class. After briefly reuniting with Greninja in Kalos and having his Lucario train its [[Aura]] with it, Ash felt ready for the match. Raihan, Leon's long-time rival, gave Ash a very tough challenge, even forcing him to use Gengar's Gigantamax instead of Lucario's Mega Evolution to bypass his [[weather]] strategy. Eventually, however, Ash managed to win, officially putting him in the Master Class along with the other reigning regional Champions and Alain.

[[File:Ash accessories.png|thumb|250px|Ash wearing his Z-Power Ring, Dynamax Band, and Mega Glove]]
During a visit to the [[Crown Tundra]], Ash reunited with Lillie and her family just as they succeeded in finding Lillie's missing father, [[Mohn]]. He then proceeded to accompany them back to Alola, where he reunited with his Alolan family and friends. Ash also participated in a special [[Battle Royal]] that was organized to celebrate the homecoming of the Alola Champion. During the Battle Royal, the entire Alola region showed their support for Ash and encouraged him to win the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] as Alola's representative.

After some hard training with his Pokémon kept at Professor Oak's lab and Paul, Ash traveled to Galar once more to participate in the Masters Eight Tournament, along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Iris, Alain, and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. After watching the other quarterfinal battles, Ash and Steven began their battle. Although he had a tough time against the Hoenn Champion, Ash was eventually able to defeat him with the help of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, advancing him to the semifinals to face Cynthia. After witnessing Leon rather easily defeat Diantha, Ash took on Cynthia. Although Cynthia gained an early lead, Ash gradually evened the odds, until his Mega Lucario finally took home the victory, meaning that Ash and Leon's long-awaited battle was to finally happen.
[[File:Ash winner.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after becoming the new Monarch]]
At the start of the finals, Leon surprised everyone by allowing Ash to use all three of Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves during the battle, which Ash accepted. During the climax of the battle, Eternatus appeared above Wyndon Stadium and granted both Trainers an additional use of Dynamax. The climactic showdown ended with a clash between Ash's Pikachu and [[Leon's Charizard]]. Ultimately, Ash's partner emerged victorious against the undefeated Charizard, fulfilling Ash's dream of defeating Leon and making him the new Monarch.

Following the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash announced his intentions to set off on a new journey alone to continue learning more about Pokémon and achieve his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. After departing from the Cerise Laboratory, Ash parted ways with Goh, who wished to go his way to achieve his dream.
[[File:Ash Epilogue.png|thumb|250px|Ash resuming his journey with Pikachu]]
Shortly after parting ways with Goh, Ash met an injured wild {{an|Latias}}. He helped to treat her injuries and protected her from being stolen by Team Rocket. As a result, she started to secretly follow him. Soon after, Ash reunited with Misty and Brock, who joined him in his travels once more as they continued to help out Pokémon in need and reunite with Ash's other old friends like Cilan, the [[Squirtle Squad]], and his Lapras. Latias eventually reappeared before Ash and requested his help in saving a {{p|Latios}} from a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}}. Once the hunter had been stopped, the duo bid farewell to Ash and his friends. He decided to return to Pallet Town following this, with Brock and Misty also deciding to return to their respective hometowns, although not before expressing a desire to travel again in the future. After returning home, Ash reunited with Tracey and his Pidgeot, the latter of whom returned to his party. During an encounter with Gary, he was asked how close he was to becoming a Pokémon Master now that he had become the Monarch. After spending a while pondering the answer, Ash deduced that to him, a Pokémon Master is a person who can befriend any Pokémon. Since he had failed to truly befriend Latios despite helping him, he figured he still had to work more to achieve his dream. As such, he resolved to resume traveling and left Pallet Town with Pikachu once more.

===Character===
[[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his mother]]
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother {{Delia}} until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash has a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. As shown on several occasions, such as in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' and ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', he is even willing to put his own life in danger to help Pokémon. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers]], Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.

Despite this and previous dealings with villainous teams, Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent "sudden appearances" that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near-inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own, and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].

In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since {{aniseries|RS}}, Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.

In the beginning of the series, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about perfectly legal things, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his {{AP|Charizard}}'s disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Paul]]
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On the contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worthy of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.

In most episodes of the series, especially those during the [[Johto League]] arc, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu, but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

Ash has changed a great deal throughout the series, particularly regarding his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his Charizard defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can be without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head-on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous willpower, as seen when he took attacks for long periods and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.

Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the field of romance. Throughout the series, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the series have shown obvious affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}}'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.

Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movie}}s. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Ash possesses some special abilities as he has the rare ability to use [[Aura]]. He is said to have the same Aura as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient Aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost [[Aura Sphere Riolu|Riolu]] and read its mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', an unhatched {{p|Riolu}} reacted to Ash's Aura, and he was able to sense the Egg's response, leading him to it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]]. After he obtained a [[Key Stone]], Ash's Aura powers were enhanced significantly, allowing him and his {{AP|Lucario}} to sense each other from a great distance away. After training with {{AP|Greninja}}, Ash and Lucario were able to synchronize their Auras even better, allowing Lucario to make its {{m|Aura Sphere}} grow into massive proportions by drawing power from the Auras of its allies.

Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.
[[File:Ash Alolan Family.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Alolan family]]
His father has not been introduced. The series suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the series storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown. However, during his time in [[Alola]], Ash's family expanded with Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet, as shown in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', when [[Mina]] was making a family portrait of them and agreed with {{an|Lana}} when she called the Professors his Alolan family. Ash also gets an Alolan brother in Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's son, [[Lei]], as seen in ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]''.

Once he gained the title of {{pkmn|Champion}} in the Alola region, Ash became a local celebrity there, as seen in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'' and ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]''. After becoming the [[World Coronation Series]] Monarch, Ash became a more recognized figure in other regions, as seen in ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]''.

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ash with his Pokémon JN114.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash with his team and Pokémon at Oak's lab as of ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'']]
[[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the Pokémon Ash formerly traveled with (plus the [[Pink Butterfree]])]]
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} throughout his [[Pokémon journey]]. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals, and that a combination of trust, friendship, and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. Most of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu—ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]—however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.

Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He often ignores type advantages and has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during {{aniseries|DP}}, he incorporated a twisting-spinning maneuver into his Pokémon's attacks, which eventually led to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. He occasionally takes inspiration from other Trainers' battle styles, and has even used their strategies to enhance his own as shown with {{an|Dawn}}, [[Paul]], and {{an|Tierno}}, although he tends to be most comfortable using his own unique strategy and has stated it to be the one he can truly count on.

Ash is very attached to his Pokémon and prefers to [[Friendship|bond]] with them through battling and training. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue battling, even after receiving a great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will—if sometimes reluctantly—[[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they can train and get stronger. If Ash ever accidentally upsets his Pokémon, he will work hard to make amends and repair the bond with them.

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[series]], he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] or with other Trainers. He usually only does so for important battles (such as [[Pokémon League Conference]] or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} matches), or when attending certain events that require a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). He does allow his Pokémon to rejoin his team if they directly request it, such as when {{AP|Phanpy}} approached him after his [[Hoenn]] journey or when {{AP|Aipom}} stowed away on the boat to [[Sinnoh]]. He also added {{AP|Charizard}} to his [[Unova]] party after being reminded of it by the [[Kanto Fair]], but would not regularly rotate his full roster of Pokémon until ''[[To Be a Pokémon Master|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

At the end of each series, Ash will typically leave behind all of his current Pokémon (sans Pikachu) at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]], a trait inspired by {{Gary}} at the end of the [[Silver Conference]]. During {{aniseries|BW}}, Ash's Unova Pokémon were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]] when not in his party, but after Ash left Unova to travel through the [[Decolore Islands]], Professor Juniper transferred these Pokémon to Professor Oak. At the end of {{aniseries|SM}}, he chose to leave his [[Alola]] Pokémon with {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}.

Ash currently has ownership of 78 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolved forms, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has officially owned a total of 98 different Pokémon species (102 if Larvitar and Solgaleo are included).

==In the core series games==
[[File:Abandoned Megamart Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu riding on Ash's shoulder]]
Ash Ketchum is based on {{ga|Red}}, his counterpart from the games. Additionally, "Ash" is one of the suggested names for Red in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], for the rival character {{ga|Blue}} in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} (international) and LeafGreen, and for {{ga|Ethan}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

In {{game|Yellow}}, some elements are based on the [[Pokémon the Series|animated series]]. Red, the player character, starts with a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, which is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Red later receives the trio of Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] in similar circumstances as Ash: {{p|Bulbasaur}} from a girl based on [[Melanie]], {{p|Charmander}} from a boy based on [[Damian]], and {{p|Squirtle}} from an [[Officer Jenny]].

In the Spanish version of [[Pokémon X and Y]], a male {{tc|Rising Star}} in {{rt|21|Kalos}} says that his Pokémon is named "Ash Ketchum".

In the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player, {{ga|Elio|Sun}}, receives an unsigned letter from somebody heavily implied to be Ash. Included with this letter is a {{AP|Greninja}}, with "Ash" being listed as its [[Original Trainer]]. Like in the animated series, Ash's Greninja can transform into {{fd|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}} by using its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a photo of Ash and Pikachu can be seen in the back room of the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}.

==={{pkmn|event|Events}}===
Several [[event Pokémon]] based on Ash's Pokémon have been made throughout the franchise. In addition to the aforementioned Greninja, a special form of {{p|Pikachu}} [[Pikachu in a cap|wearing Ash's different hats]] up to {{aniseries|SM}} were made available in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Later games introduced Pikachu with Ash's hats from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and {{aniseries|JN}}.

Ash replaced the Experienced Trainer that offers consolation disks if no Pokémon were captured during Get by Battle mode. He, also appears as an opponent in Trainer and Battle Mode, which was available to challenge from February 24, 2020. This was considerably earlier into the set's duration compared to other sets—the {{ga-ole|Ultra Legend set 4|fourth Ultra Legend set}}, which also featured special opponents in Trainer and Battle Mode, shares this trait. Ash could be challenged after defeating the other Trainer and Battle Mode opponents. The lineup included 1 new Trainer class in addition to Ash and Goh, who had their [[hometown]] as part of their name instead of "Pokémon Trainer". Promotional disks could also be dispensed for an additional ¥100 following battles with Goh or Ash, with 'WINNER' versions available to players who successfully defeated their teams. Players facing Ash could receive a {{OBP|Mew|Trainer and Battle}} disk or a {{OBP|Lugia|Trainer and Battle}} disk.

{{main|Ash (Masters)}}
Ash, in his {{aniseries|JN}} design, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{AP|Pikachu}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Ash became a playable sync pair on August 28, 2022.

He first appeared as an NPC during the [[special event]] {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}}. Ash was also shown to pair alongside the other members of his ''Pokémon Journeys'' team, which could be battled during the {{DL|Special event|Challenge from Ash}} event.

==In the manga==
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is based on {{aniseries|OS}}.

[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Ash and Brock in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]]]
===Movie adaptations===
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every Pokémon movie to date, likewise, Ash is the main character in every movie manga adaptation. The same applies to Ash's team as they made similar appearances.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In them, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their world (of the animated series) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the animated series canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===The Strength of the Master===
In the Brazilian music video [[The Strength of the Master]], a boy and a girl appear dressed as Ash and Misty.

==In the TCG==
[[File:AshFriendshipAshvsTeamRocketDeck25.jpg|thumb|200px|right|{{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}, Ash's only Supporter card. Notice how it uses the Sun & Moon layout. This means no cards focusing on Ash himself were released in the first decade of Pokémon!]]
While Ash Ketchum was the main character of the primary Pokémon animation for the majority of the brand's existence, Ash makes vanishingly few appearances in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. This is especially notable when compared to the main antagonists of the [[Team Rocket trio]], which have received more cards than Ash has. The majority of cards relating to Ash have not been released outside of Japan.

Most of the time, it is the Pokémon that Ash uses that receive cards. Usually, these are released alongside [[Pokémon movie]]s. The first of these was a [[jumbo card|jumbo]] {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|promo card}} for his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] teamed up with the [[Pichu Brothers]], which was [[Pichu and Pikachu (CoroCoro promo)|Pichu and Pikachu]]. It was a tie in to ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'', one of the [[Pikachu short]]s. The first card released at normal size was {{TCG ID|ADV-P Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}}, released as a promotional card. Ash is present in the art of the card, although only as a mirage. {{TCG ID|Movie VS Pack|Ash's Torkoal|9}} heralded in the usual way Ash's Pokémon were released in the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#EX Series|EX Series]], by being released as part of the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration VS Pack: Sky-Splitting Deoxys}} {{TCG|deck kit}}. That kit was released to coincide with ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', and included many of the Pokémon seen in the movie as cards. Several more of Ash's Pokémon would receive cards in deck kits in this manner. As cards with "Ash's" as a prefix, they are mechanically [[Owner's Pokémon]].

[[File:StaraptorMMovieRandomPack18.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Staraptor M (Movie Random Pack 18)|Staraptor]] {{SP|M}}. This card does not say it is Ash's Staraptor, and its name only indicates it is from the movie. But the icon of Ash and the artwork make it clear that this is Ash's Staraptor.]]
As the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]] rolled around, cards featuring Pokémon that Ash possesses changed. They were instead [[Pokémon M]], a group of [[Pokémon SP]] based on the Pokémon seen in Pokémon movies which were released in the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}} to promote ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Two of them are Pokémon that Ash used, namely [[Pikachu M (Movie Random Pack 12)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} for Ash's Pikachu and [[Staraptor M (Movie Random Pack 18)|Staraptor]] {{SP|M}} for [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Ash is featured in the artwork of the cards. A third card, [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|LV.X]], was released as [[DPt-P Promotional cards|DPt-P Promotional card]] alongside the set and is a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|Level Up}} for the Pikachu {{SP|M}} card. After this, Ash Ketchum related cards made fewer appearances for a while.

Cards relating to Ash returned in the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Black & White Series|Black & White Series]]. An event tied to the distribution of [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Secret Eggs|Secret Eggs]] which had the possibility of hatching into a {{p|Pidove}} based on [[Ash's Pidove]] (among other main characters' Pokémon) also involved the release of a {{TCG|BW Black Star Promos|BW Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Pidove|15}}. This ties the card to Ash's Pidove as well. In the XY Series, an [[Ash-Greninja-EX (XY Promo 133)|Ash-Greninja]]{{EX}} was released. It showcased [[Ash-Greninja]], a new form that [[Ash's Greninja]] could take on in the show during [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that resembles Ash himself. Both of these cards received English releases.

[[File:AshPikachuGXAshVSTeamRocketDeckKit5.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}} has to be in play to get Ash's Friendship's full effect of drawing four cards. Otherwise, the Supporter just draws two cards.]]
The [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Sun & Moon Series|Sun & Moon Series]] has Ash's most prominent appearances in the TCG to date. The {{TCG|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit}} included a complete half deck themed around Ash Ketchum instead of having Ash only be included in a movie themed deck. Many of the Pokémon have artwork related to Ash's adventures in [[Alola]] during {{aniseries|SM}}. (Although these cards are not named after Ash, and therefore have no gameplay distinction, the context of their artwork and this product mean they very clearly represent the Pokémon that Ash meets.) Ash's Pikachu got another printing, this time as [[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}}. Most importantly, an Ash {{TCG|Supporter card}} was finally printed as {{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}. It causes the user to draw two cards, but instead draws four cards if that player also has Ash's Pikachu{{GX}} in play. Naturally, Ash is present in the art of Ash's Pikachu {{GX}}, as well as in the art of three of the other Pokémon in the Ash deck. A card for [[Ash's Litten]], {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Litten|59}}, was released as a promotional card alongside the deck kit, which also has Ash in its artwork.

Ash's Pikachu would be printed seven more times in the Sun & Moon Series, this time as {{TCG|SM Black Star Promos}} representing the various [[Pikachu in a cap|Ash's Pikachu forms]]. These cards, as with the entire promotion surrounding the forms, were a tie in to the movie ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Each one wears one of [[Ash's hat]]s from across {{aniseries|PTS}}. These cards also received an English language release.

Lastly, a card representing Ash's Pikachu, {{TCG ID|SM Promo|Pikachu|227}}, was printed as SM Black Star Promo, with its basis being the movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. While this card did receive an English printing, a printing with art including Ash Ketchum was only used in Japan.

This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|Concept art of Ash's hat from the original series]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Ash's height is around 4'7" (140 cm).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210219050737/https://pokemonday.pokemon.co.jp/tips/065/ Japanese Pokémon Day website tip #65] (Archived)</ref>
* [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] was similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Ash is still considered a 10-year-old in promotional materials and in mainline animated series episodes as recent as ''[[JN067|Sleuths for Truth!]]'', despite at least a year having been implied to have passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]''.
** [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], creative supervisor for {{aniseries|JN}} and executive director for prior series, has stated in an interview with {{wp|Daniel Arsham}} in ''Arsham's Pokédex'', a collection of Pokémon-related artwork, that Ash does not age because the animated series is set in an endless early summer.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash originally wanted a {{p|Squirtle}} to be his [[first partner Pokémon]], but {{an|Professor Oak}} told him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]].
* In the animated series, Ash is the first and, so far, only [[Pokémon Trainer]]:
** With a known [[hometown]] to not be native to any of the regions he is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of.
** With access to [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and [[Mega Evolution]] at the same time.
*** Who has used more than one of those in a single battle.
** Shown to have won two of the same Gym Badge, as he's earned a {{badge|Rain}} from both [[Juan]] and [[Wallace]].
* Ash is the only Champion in the animated series to own a [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Ash has never caught another Electric-type Pokémon other than Pikachu.
* Ash has never officially owned a {{cat|female-only Pokémon}}.
** While he has technically owned a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in {{AP|Solgaleo}}, he has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} one in a [[Poké Ball]].
* Ash has caught at least one of the [[first partner Pokémon]] of every [[region]] he has visited, except for [[Galar]].
* As of ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]'', Ash has caught at least one Pokémon belonging to all eighteen [[type]]s (this includes Pokémon he owns or has owned that have been retroactively made {{type|Fairy}}).
** Also, as of ''[[JN099|Battling Turned Up to Eleven!]]'', he has used at least one [[move]] of every type with his Pokémon.
* Ash has caught at least one {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in every [[series]].
** Moreover, Flying is the most common type among Ash's non-temporary Pokémon under his ownership, with a total of twelve representants.
* [[Alola]] is the only region in which Ash does not catch a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Similarly, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' is the only series in which he does not catch a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* All of Ash's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* Ash's favorite move is {{m|Thunderbolt}}, as revealed by himself in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''.
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, his drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber at various points in the animated series, such as in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', ''Climbing the Walls'', and ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', to the point of {{an|Misty}} saying "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}" in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', and {{an|Brock}} calling him a "human {{p|Aipom}}" in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

'''Ult''' (Japanese: '''ウルト''' ''Uruto''<ref>[https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1908820727832383946 Ult's name romanized as ''Uruto'' in an image from the official Japanese animated series Twitter/X account]</ref>) is a major supporting character in {{aniseries|HZ}}, introduced in the ''[[Mega Voltage]]'' arc. He is [[Roy]]'s [[rival]] and a [[HZ100|member]] of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==History==
[[File:Young Ult.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Ult]]
===Pre-series===
Ult grew up in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region. At some point during his childhood, Ult received a [[Dusk Ball]] from [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]], though he was oblivious to what Pokémon was contained inside.

Due to unknown events, Ult ended up homeless and was forced to live out his days in the Lumiose City alleys alongside his {{p|Sableye}}. One day, a young detective named [[Emma]] approached Ult and allowed him and Sableye a place to stay at her home, the [[Looker Bureau]]. During his stay, Emma taught Ult certain necessities, such as reading, writing, and how to study.

===''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''===
In the year following the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Ult [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Roy]] in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], which led to them becoming [[rival]]s, aquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].
[[File:Ult and Sableye.png|thumb|250px|Ult and {{p|Sableye}}]]
Ult debuted in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]''. He found Roy searching for a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Slaking}} and insisted on following him, despite the other's attempts of warding him off. Eventually, they found the Slaking and had their Pokémon battle and defeat it after discovering that it was being influenced by [[Laquium]]. In the following morning, Ult found out that Roy had woken up earlier and left him behind.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Ult tracked Roy down to an unknown town, discovering him with [[Liko]]. While continuing to follow them, he and his {{p|Sableye}} accidentally fell down a hole and investigated it, only to be caught by a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Steelix}}. Later, he found Roy and Liko fighting another afflicted Steelix. Seeing the severity of the situation, he Mega Evolved his Sableye and assisted the two in fighting the berserk Pokémon. After being introduced to Liko, his Sableye attempted to eat [[Pagogo]] due to the gems it had, but Ult managed to pull it away. Ult chastised Roy for abandoning him in the forest, leading to Roy realizing that Ult had been following him, though he denied the accusation. He then began a monologue claiming that the [[Black Rayquaza]] would be his, prompting Roy to drag Liko off, much to his frustration.
[[File:Ult Strong Sphere HZ095.png|thumb|250px|left|Ult renounces the power of [[Laquium]] and destroys his [[Strong Sphere]]]]
In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Ult ended up in the [[Exceed Testing Center]] near [[Mochew City]], where a live demonstration of the [[Strong Sphere]] was being held. He encountered Liko and Roy, but coldly shrugged off Roy's attempt to talk to him due to the motion sickness resulting from having ridden the bus. Ult contemplated using the Strong Sphere at first, but quickly made up his mind to not use it after seeing the effects on [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]'s Pokémon. He had his Sableye face off against them, but Coral's {{p|Glalie}} wrapped the battle early with a {{m|Self-Destruct}}, allowing Ult, Liko, and Roy to escape. Then, he decided to formally join the two of them on their journey.

In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', after learning from [[Dot]] about a [[Black Rayquaza]] sighting near [[Blackthorn City]], the trio decided to go there and investigate. While on the way, they were stopped by [[Team Dragon Rampage]], a trio of {{p|Cyclizar}}-riding {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s, who feigned ignorance about the Black Rayquaza and fled, accusing Ult's group of being [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon poacher]]s. Later, the group encountered [[Snake]], an actual poacher. Ult tried facing the man alone, but was scolded by Liko, who stated his reckless actions would never allow him to become strong. Taking Liko's critique to heart, Ult teamed up with Roy and defeated Snake, sending him running off. Impressed by their heroics, Team Dragon Rampage decided to take Liko and Roy, but not Ult, to the [[Dragon's Den]], where the Black Rayquaza was recovering from the events at [[Laqua]]. Ult, however, insisted and found his way there, where he met the [[Legendary Pokémon]] for the first time and told it to get better quickly, as he only wanted to face it at full strength, while also proclaiming his intention of becoming way stronger.
[[File:Ult Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|Ult joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Ult, Liko, Roy, and Dot, who had joined them in the [[HZ098|previous episode]], arrived at [[Karna's Poké Ball factory]], in [[Galar]], to meet up with [[Orla]], a former member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. While the others tried convincing Orla to aid them, Ult found out that [[Karna]] had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two [[Exceed]] employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the [[Explorers]] members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|next episode]], Ult, Liko, Roy, and Dot teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Ult and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Ult and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, [[Mollie]], [[Murdock]], and [[Ludlow]] arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member.

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', Ult got into an argument with Roy over the messy state of his living quarters. Frustrated, Ult ran away with Sableye to [[Manpūku Town]], where he met {{OBP|Ryan|HZ106}}, a street artist to whom he showed off his [[Dusk Ball]], claiming it housed a powerful Pokémon, though he didn't know exactly who. The next day, Ult realized Ryan had stolen his Dusk Ball and raced to the town, where he found the boy ready to trade it for a Strong Sphere with Indi and Rubina. He challenged them to a battle and managed to win after his willingness to fight for others resonated with the Pokémon in the Dusk Ball, who finally emerged, revealing itself as a {{p|Dragonite}}. The Explorers duo retreated, but Ult followed them. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], he arrived at an [[Explorers base]], but was quickly spotted and locked up. Fortunately, he managed to send Sableye away to get help, who was able to find Roy. The two of them soon fought against Indi and Rubina once more, but they were interrupted by four {{p|Rabsca}}, who were suppressing the battlefield with their {{m|Gravity}}. At this moment, remembering words from [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]], he called for Dragonite's strength in order to protect the ones he cared about. This time, Ult's determination allowed for Dragonite to Mega Evolve, which took out the Rabsca, allowing the two boys to defeat their opponents and escape. While Roy was pleased to see that Dragonite approved him, Ult felt that it wasn't genuine until he could protect the ones he cared about. He later met with Mollie, who gave him some advice and knew he had run off but did not tell anyone, which he appreciated, and he warmed up at the thought of belonging with the group.
[[File:Lacey and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Ult and Lacey]]
In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Ult joined Liko and Roy in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Ult's Sableye struggled to deal significant damage to {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, leaving Ult shocked at the sheer strength of the Six Heroes. Ult then sent out and Mega Evolved his Dragonite, but despite this Mega Dragonite still was not fully obedient to Ult, not listening to his commands and dodging Gouging Fire's attacks on its own. After Pagogo was defeated, Ult and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Ult and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by [[Amethio]] and [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]], the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Ult and the others received a call from [[Briar]], who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Ult and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers.

In [[HZ117]], Ult battled against [[Lacey]] with his Sableye, but lost the battle as well as failing her Pokémon knowledge quizzes. As a result of this loss, he went along to study Pokémon features and behavior to get better knowledge, struggling along the way. After seeing [[Drayton]] with his Dragonite, Ult opened up to Lacey about his own Dragonite and how his father gave it to him, with both Trainers bonding over their respective parents. After being attacked by an Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}, Ult followed Lacey's advice about observing Pokémon behavior in battle, working well with his Dragonite to defeat it. This victory resulted in Ult growing closer to his Pokémon as a result.

In [[HZ124]], Ult, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Amethio infiltrated the [[Explorers HQ]] to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Ult and Roy went up to the roof, where they lured out some Explorers Trainers as a distraction. Once their opponents were defeated, Ult and Roy headed down to meet with the others. All five entered the building, where they were led into a trap by Spinel and forced to battle the Super Strong Sphere-affected Six Heroes once again.

In [[HZ125]], Ult used Dragonite to battle Gouging Fire, but struggled against an opponent he knew nothing about. Remembering what Lacey taught him, Ult tried using his [[Pokédex]] to find information on his opponent, only for it to have nothing on a [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He looked up what moves Dragonite knew, and strategically used Dragonite's {{m|Twister}} to send Gouging Fire's {{m|Ancient Power}} attack back at it, overwhelming and defeating it. Eventually, all five of the Six Heroes were defeated and cured of the Laquium's effects by Pagogo's power. Ult and the others escaped the building, after which the Six Heroes left, promising to meet their friends again in Laqua. Unbeknownst to Ult and his friends, Spinel recorded their encounter and manipulated the events to make the Rising Volt Tacklers appear as the villains. He used this to forced the Rising Volt Tacklers into hiding from the public and advertise the Strong Sphere.

In [[HZ127]], in order to prepare for their upcoming final battle with the Explorers, Ult, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to get stronger by training with their friends. Due to a lack of a fourth person to battle, Ult was paired with [[Hassel]] and used Dragonite to battle the latter's {{p|Baxcalibur}}. Despite putting up a good fight, Ult failed to notice Hassel's tactics which left Dragonite trapped and frozen in ice. Dragonite was then defeated by a super effective {{m|Glaive Rush}}. Afterward, Hassel noted that Ult reminded him of someone he once knew, much to Ult's confusion.

In [[HZ129]], Ult, Roy, and Liko traveled back to the Dragon's Den and reunited with Team Dragon Rampage. Team Dragon Rampage recognized Ult's Dragonite as originally belonging to the famous adventurer, {{OBP|Salt|Horizons}}, revealing that he was Ult's father. They met with the Black Rayquaza, who was restored to full strength with the meteorite Friede gave to Roy. Rayquaza agreed to help the Rising Volt Tacklers put an end to the Laquium threat and with Pagogo's help, {{Terastal}}lized into a pure {{type|Dragon}}. Ult and Roy teamed up to take on Rayquaza, but its overwhelming strength slowly whittled their available Pokémon down, leaving only Roy's {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} remaining. Roy defeated Rayquaza, who accepted him as its new Trainer and allowed him to catch it. Although disappointed by his failure, Ult happily praised Roy for achieving his dream. Rayquaza then left to meet with the other Six Heroes in preparation for the final battle at Laqua.

==Character==
[[File:Ult and Black Rayquaza.png|250px|thumb|Ult and the Black Rayquaza]]
Ult is [[Roy]]'s self-proclaimed spirited rival, constantly seeking a battle. He's quick with a snarky comment and easily frustrated, especially when Roy leaves him behind. Despite his arrogant demeanor and sharp tongue, Ult is actually a skilled Trainer with a strong connection to his Pokémon, enabling them to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], as well as being good with battle tactics, as seen when battling [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] on even footing without using Mega Evolution. He can also be surprisingly supportive, encouraging Roy to overcome his fears and fight for his ambitions. Driven by their shared goal of catching the [[Black Rayquaza]], Ult's impulsive pursuit often leads him into trouble, as seen when he angered a flock of {{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Fearow}} by trespassing, and also leads to him persistently pursuing Roy to the latter's displeasure. These traits lead to his relationship with Roy being tenuous, as the latter sees him as a nuisance and a liability who will only get in his way and generally doesn't want to put up with him and his over-the-top behavior, always taking any opportunity to escape from his persistent presence. Despite this, Ult does get along with Roy and considers him a close friend. As time passed, Ult's friendship with Roy would steadily grow, as their arguments have toned down and are able to tolerate each other.
[[File:Diana and Ult.png|250px|thumb|left|Ult and Diana]]
Ult is shown to be shy and easily flustered around people, having a hard time interacting with anyone as a result, but is comfortable around Pokémon. Although he can come out of his shell around men after he gets to know them, Ult mostly shows his shy side around women, as seen with [[Emma]] and [[Liko]]. His ineptitude at interacting with girls is displayed when Ult initially mistook [[Dot]] for a boy until [[Murdock]] explained that she is his niece, which caused Ult to freak out because he briefly held her hand before finding out. However, after the events in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', Ult became comfortable around Liko and developed an admiration for her compassion for Pokémon, even seeing her as a very good friend. Ult also became friends with Dot and gets along well with her, only clashing with her [[HZ128|once]]. During the events in ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'' and ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Ult came to respect [[Mollie]], as she didn't tell their teammates about him running away and gave him some advice when he returned. Also, Ult quickly befriended [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, after finding out that she used the [[Brave Olivine]]'s observation deck as a room as well. All of these interactions show that his kind nature can effectively overtake his shyness towards women once a friendship or connection has been established with them. Although his relationship with Emma seems complicated, Ult does respect her and consider her family, as she took him in and taught him how to read and write.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|250px|Ult and his friends]]
At first, Ult had a hard time interacting with the older members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], due to not knowing them well and not spending time around people. However, after getting to know the older members, Ult comes to see them as his friends and is on good terms with them. Although, Ult mostly hangs out Roy, Liko, and Dot, as his strong friendship with them is part of the reason he [[HZ100|decided to join]] the Rising Volt Tacklers. As time passed, Ult comes to enjoy being a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and spends every chance he could to bond with his teammates. Upon meeting [[Friede]] formally in [[HZ122]] and hearing his story as to how he went to space, Ult started to admire him greatly, even going to the point of calling him "Master Friede". Ult is also impressed that Friede can use Mega Evolution with two of his Pokémon like he can with his partners. In addition, Ult decided that he wanted to be just like Friede someday, which has Roy, [[Orla]], Mollie, Liko, and Dot worried, due to the latter's tendencies to forget to give important details. Ult is even impressed with [[Wy-Yes]]'s accomplish when he meets him in [[HZ131]]. Through his friendship with his teammates, Ult easily trusts their allies and friends, such as [[Amethio]]. Ult even comes to enjoy the freedom of flying the open sky with his friends and teammates.

Ult has changed for the better during his time as a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, but his tendency of wanting to battle and his enthusiasm has remained. He has also learned to be a team player and that true strength comes from protecting others, especially his friends. In addition, Ult has come to understand that he can't do everything alone and he can relay on his friends for help. Ult is even mellowing out, becoming less arrogant, and to not rush into things, as seen in [[HZ119]] and [[HZ120]]. His social skills has shown improvement and is overcoming his shyness around people by interacting with them more. He is also able to speak his mind with those around him without getting too upset. In addition, Ult has shown to be aware of his flaws and is determined to not only correct them, but to rise above them all.

Ult deep down prefers to battle all out with his Pokémon and is a kind person at heart, and seemingly has an effective moral code, disgusted by the use of [[Laquium]] in battle and helping Roy and Liko battle the [[Explorers]] without hesitation. This is also shown when Ult tells the Black Rayquaza to get better soon, as he only wanted to battle it at full strength. He ends up getting his wish to battle the Black Rayquaza at full strength in [[HZ129]]. Ult's good heart mainly shines through for his compassion and passion for Pokémon, although his adventures with his friends and teammates has brought that part of himself out further for people. He even means well and would do what he could to help his friends whenever they needed it.

He also has a strong sense of justice and dislike those who mistreat Pokémon, such as the Explorers and Pokémon hunters. Ult even becomes determined to stop anyone who would hurt Pokémon, especially the Explorers. In addition, Ult can't stand see any Pokémon trap in cages, as he got angry with himself for not doing something when he saw two of [[Lucius]]'s [[Six Heroes|remaining Pokémon]] {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} and {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} trapped in boxes at the Explorers base in ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', but is [[HZ108|assured by his friends that his information]] is important for their mission in rescuing the remaining heroes. Ult has shown good intuition and is able to see through the Explorers lies, as seen in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'' and [[HZ125]], due to not only seeing them for who they truly are, but also because of his friends and teammates stories about them.

Similar to Roy, Ult has shown to be rather gluttonous, which has caused him trouble before, like when he [[HZ101|tried to eat all]] of the food in [[Naranja Academy]] despite it not being for him. Ult also enjoys Murodck's food, especially his sweets. As shown in ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'' and ''[[HZ097|The Prankster]]'', Ult suffers from a form of motion sickness, causing him to feel unwell when riding certain vehicles such as buses or boats. Because of this, he feels more confortable sleeping in the Brave Olivine's observation room where he can see the sky outside. Ult isn't afraid to try new things, as shown in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', when he decided to give surfing a try. He has even taken an interest of going into space after watching [[Ludlow]]'s Guy Silver's [[HZ121|space film]] and through Friede's experiences.

While Ult puts up a strong front, he can be intimidated by stronger opponents, as seen in ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'' where his Sableye was overpowered by [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] under the influence of a [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]. After losing to five of the Six Heroes in the [[HZ111|next episode]], Ult became depressed, but quickly shakes it off and became motivated to get stronger in order to help them. Ult has also shown an emotional side, as seen in [[HZ129]] when he breaks down in tears that he didn't catch the Black Rayquaza. However, Ult easily cheered up and with humility accepted that the Sky High Pokémon picked Roy to be its Trainer fair and square. Ult's acceptances in not catching the Black Rayquaza demonstrates his growth as a person and Trainer.
[[File:Emma and Ult.png|250px|left|thumb|Ult and [[Emma]]]]
Prior to the events of the series, Ult was given a {{p|Dragonite}} in a [[Dusk Ball]] by [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]]. As the time passed, however, Dragonite seemed unwilling to come out, which Ult may have taken as a sign that it did not recognize his strength. Since then, his goal was to become stronger in order to win its approval. It was once he displayed willingness to fight for others when Dragonite reacted and finally appeared before him. Despite this progress, Ult was still unsure if Dragonite truly approved of him, so he made it his goal to become the strongest in order to protect everyone. Since then, Dragonite has obediently come out of its Ball when asked, however, it has a [[Disobedience|tendency]] to act without its Trainer's commands. However, during the events in [[HZ117]], Ult and Dragonite start to work out their issues, which has them becoming on better terms.

Back in [[Kalos]] when he and Roy had their first battle with each other, Ult is shown to be impatient and reckless in battling as he continously told his Sableye to use Power Gem repeatedly not noticing it's getting overwhelmed by overusing the attack ultimately causing them to lost. After some advice from [[Master Mayonnaise]] and a battle with [[Count Hoisin]] and [[Shōyu]], he was able to battle effectively with his Sableye and trusts it more. However, he can still be prone to comedic outburst as observed in [[HZ116]] when he refuses to accept [[Lacey]]'s advice to observe a Pokémon first before approaching and battling, and in the [[HZ117|next episode]] constantly getting frustrated at getting all answers wrong in her quiz, while his Sableye takes damage from her {{p|Excadrill}}. Ult does eventually take Lacey's advice, as he used it to battle an Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Ult even used his [[Pokédex]] to help him in his time of need, as seen in [[HZ125]]. He also learned to develop new battling styles to help his Pokémon, as seen in [[HZ132]], when he worked on improving his Sableye's defense by using its giant gem in its Mega Evolved form to protect itself.

|desc={{p|Sableye}} is Ult's main partner. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into a Mega Sableye.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Sableye Mega Evolved in order to help [[Roy]]'s Pokémon defeat a [[Laquium]]-enhanced {{p|Slaking}}. In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Sableye was used to assist Roy and [[Liko]]'s Pokémon in battling two Laquium-enhanced {{p|Steelix}} by Mega Evolving. Sableye has also shown interest in eating [[Pagogo]], likely due to its crystalline body.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Sableye battled [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}}, with Sableye dominating the battle despite its opponent's use of Laquium. Glalie ended up using {{m|Self-Destruct}}, causing its own defeat and allowing Ult, Liko, and Roy to escape.

In ''[[HZ107|Friends as Two, Me and You]]'', Ult and Sableye were captured by [[Spinel]] and the Explorers at an [[Explorers base]]. After being saved by its Trainer, Sableye fled to meet Roy, who guided it there. Once there, Sableye battled with Roy's other Pokémon against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s Pokémon, and when all seemed lost, the group was saved by Ult's Dragonite, which used Mega Evolution for the first time under Ult's command.

In [[HZ117]], it was used to battle [[Lacey]]'s {{p|Excadrill}}, and was defeated.

In [[HZ124]], Sableye teamed up with Captain Pikachu and Roy's Lucario to help Ult, Roy, [[Amethio]], and the girls mission to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, as they battle the grunts. Despite the three defeating the grunts, Sableye came in no shape to continue the mission.

In [[HZ133]], Sableye Mega Evolved alongside Roy's Lucario and Instructor {{p|Starmie}} to battle against the Explorers Admin's Mega Evolved Pokemon. Sableye and Starmie focused on Aerodactyl and Glalie while Lucario focused on fighting Medicham.

Sableye's known moves are {{m|Power Gem}}, {{m|Throat Chop}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, and {{m|Shadow Sneak}}.}}

|desc={{p|Dragonite}} is Ult's second known Pokémon. It was given to him by [[Salt (Horizons)|his father]] and is kept in a [[Dusk Ball]]. It seems to only appear when Ult needs its help to protect others. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into a Mega Dragonite.

For a long time, Dragonite seemed unwilling to come out of its Dusk Ball, resulting in Ult forgetting the identity of the Pokémon inside.

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', reacting with Ult's willingness to fight for others, Dragonite appeared before him for the first time and quickly defeated [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Darmanitan}}. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], when Ult called for its strength in order to protect the ones he cares about, Dragonite appeared once again. This time, it Mega Evolved, allowing it to overpower the opposing {{p|Rabsca}}'s {{m|Gravity}} and defeat them. Alongside [[Roy]]'s Mega {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, it defeated the Explorers duo's {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}} Darmanitan.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Dragonite was used was used alongside the rest of Ult, [[Liko]], and [[Roy]]'s Pokémon to battle against five of the [[Six Heroes]], who were under the influence of the [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Spheres]]. Together, they stalled for time to allow [[Pagogo]] to purify the Laquium away from the heroes' bodies, but the Explorers used the Super Strong Spheres once more on them. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], despite its efforts, Dragonite gets knocked out by [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}}'s Laquium-afflicted {{m|Self-Destruct}}.

In [[HZ125]], Dragonite was used to battle [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]]. Desptie struggling at first, Dragonite was able to defeat Gouging Fire after Mega Evolving and using {{m|Twister}} to send it crashing into its cage.

Dragonite's known moves are {{m|Dragon Rush}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Twister}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Ult's catchphrase is "Mega".
* Ult was first revealed in the April 2025 issue of ''[[CoroCoro|CoroCoro Comic]]'' magazine (released March 14, 2025), and later in a [https://youtu.be/FEuWFupIma4 trailer] aired after [[HZ088]].
* Ult is the only younger member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] who:
** Doesn't own a Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]].
** Doesn't have access to {{Tera}}stallization.
** Owns a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** Only has two Pokémon in his [[Party|team]].
** Doesn't have Pokémon of the same type.
** Keeps a Pokémon in a non-standard [[Poké Ball]], i.e. a [[Dusk Ball]].
* Ult is the first original character in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] more than one Pokémon. He is also the second character overall in the animated series to have done so, after [[Gurkinn]].
** He is also the first to Mega Evolve multiple Pokémon within a single [[series]].
* As revealed in [[HZ129]], according to rumors that [[Team Dragon Rampage]] have heard, Ult has a heart-shaped mole on his butt. Although it wasn't seen, Ult's Sableye confirms its existence.
* In the Japanese version, Ult uses the pronoun "'''{{tt|俺様|おれさま}}''' (''ore-sama'')" meaning "my esteemed self" or "Mr. I", a highly informal way of referring to oneself, often used by fictional characters to express arrogance or self-importance.
* When Mega Evolving his Pokémon, Ult uses the phrase "Break through with outrageous power!" (Japanese: '''トンデモパワーで全開突破ァ！！''' ''Break through with outrageous power!!'').

She is a skilled programmer and a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Online, she is known as '''Nidothing''' (Japanese: '''ぐるみん''' ''Gurumin''), a popular content creator and streamer that makes videos on various topics of the [[Pokémon world]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Dot and Friede.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot meeting Friede for the first time]]
Dot grew up with her mother, [[Franka]], and has known her uncle, [[Murdock]], for a long time. Eventually, she became a popular video streamer known online as Nidothing, inspired by {{an|Iono}}, with whom she would form a friendship as her online career took off.

As revealed in ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', sometime before the events of the series, Dot struggled to find inspiration for her content, as she lacked the personal experience to properly discuss the topics she covered. One day, she met [[Friede]], a [[Pokémon Professor]] and friend of Murdock, who asked if she could develop an app for his band of adventurers, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Dot initially refused, but words of advice from Iono led her not only to accomplish Friede's request, but also to join his group on the [[Brave Olivine]], allowing her to go out and see what the world could offer, on the condition that she would have to return home if her mother felt she had been away for too long.

During her time on the Brave Olivine, Dot befriended a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that started making appearances on her streams.
{{-}}
====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Dot and Ludlow picnic.png|250px|thumb|Dot and Ludlow having fun on a picnic]]
Dot, as Nidothing, debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly.

She debuted as herself in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', where it was revealed she was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers as well as [[Murdock]]'s niece. [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] went to Dot's room hoping to gather information on the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s whereabouts, only to receive a drawing of Roy losing a battle. Later, after seeing Liko and Roy's dedication to becoming better Trainers, Dot gave them another drawing indicating that Rayquaza was in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

In the following [[HZ008|episode]], while Liko came to visit after Dot rebuffed her for her share of the food, Liko heard Nidothing's video theme from behind Dot's door and assumed Dot also enjoyed watching Nidothing's livestreams. Liko attempted to invite Dot to watch the livestream together, but was caught off guard upon hearing Dot abruptly shouting about something, leaving Liko confused. Liko told her how much she admires Nidothing, how knowledgeable she was about Pokémon, and how fun it was to watch her. Afterwards, while Liko was watching her video in real time, Dot read her comment, which made Liko flustered that someone she admired was reading her comment. The comment shared a similar description of Dot's personality, making Dot feel awkward. During the day, Murdock tried to get Dot out of her room by placing a tray of his donuts in a cabinet. Later that night, Dot, having been touched by Liko's kindness, sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed them for herself and Quaxly, making Murdock happy that his plan was successful.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', as soon as Liko arrived in Paldea, Dot began to open up a little more to her. Following [[Ludlow]]'s advice, Dot left an illustration on Liko's bedroom door and when she thanked her, Dot said on the other side that she would wait for her. Accidentally, Liko saw Dot laundering her Nidothing costume while on her way to her house to approach {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} again. However, in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', while Dot was trying to tell Liko the truth, Liko revealed that she just thought that Dot was just a Nidothing fan, leaving Liko without actually knowing the Nidothing's real identity.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', as Dot was in progress of making a new video about [[picnic]]s, she didn't have any idea on what to talk about, as she'd never been in a picnic before. After receiving a message from Liko, that she could make her own sandwich in the meeting room, causing Dot's stomach to growl. She decided to leave her room and to her surprise, she found table of [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s that she could use, though she didn't know how to make one. Ludlow explained to Dot that Liko wanted to share fun experiences with her to help build a better friendship. Considering Ludlow's words and with the help of her fellow members, she was able to create a video about picnicking. Afterwards, as thanks, Dot sent Liko a message of her wearing her Nidothing costume alongside with Quaxly and Ludlow, but Liko once again failed to make the connection. Ludlow and Friede decided to let Dot be the one to decide when to actually explain the truth to Liko.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot and her friends battling the Explorers]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when the Rising Volt Tacklers noticed Liko had been absent for a while, Dot pointed their search towards [[Artazon]], where sightings of a girl with a {{p|Sprigatito}} had been reported online; this, however, was only misinformation created by [[Spinel]] to delay them. Quickly after realizing this, Dot reached out for {{an|Iono}} in order to collab with her and reach a larger audience to search for Liko. Her plan was a success, as Liko was found in Levincia, but Iono suddenly turned this into a game of tag, leading the girl to run away. Now, with the Rising Volt Tacklers heading towards the right place, Dot asked Friede to take her there as well, partnering up with Quaxly in the process. In Levincia, using information from Iono's livestream, Dot and Roy were able to predict where Liko would be and reunited with her; in the process, Dot finally met Roy and Liko in person, after only communicating with them from inside her room.
[[File:Dot and Tinkatink.png|thumb|250px|Dot catches Tinkatink as her second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot {{pkmn2|caught}} Quaxly as her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] and officially became a Pokémon Trainer. Following this, the Rising Volt Tacklers started looking around Levincia for Liko's pendant, which had been taken by Spinel. Dot, Liko, and Roy split up when {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] begun glowing, as this meant the pendant was nearby. She and Quaxly found their way to a docked cargo ship, where they were ambushed by a {{p|Beheeyem}} and a {{p|Magneton}}. They held their ground and, despite the signal being jammed, managed to alert Liko and Roy to their location with a clever use of {{m|Water Gun}}. The three of them engaged in battle against Spinel's Pokémon, with this being Dot's first-ever battle, but they were quickly defeated once their opponent unleashed his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this loss, they were able to retrieve the pendant, which reacted with Liko's strong emotions, and made their escape with Arboliva. Later that night, encouraged by Quaxly, Dot revealed to Liko that she was Nidothing.

In ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'', Dot's microphone broke down during a Nidothing livestream. She, Liko, and Roy went on a trip to [[Steelbound Town]], where she purchased a replacement microphone and another to use as a prop. After getting separated from the others, Dot came across a wild {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} failing to take a man's hammer. To Dot's surprise, Tinkatink stole the prop microphone and immediately began working it into a new hammer. Later, Tinkatink climbed aboard the Brave Olivine in order to show Dot the hammer she made, only to be blamed for destroying the ship's supply of iron materials. The true culprit was a wild {{p|Orthworm}}, which Dot managed to defeat and drive off with Quaxly and Tinkatink's help. Upon realizing that Tinkatink wanted to stay with her, Dot accepted her wish and used a {{i|Poké Ball}} Quaxly gave her to catch her. Later, Dot introduced Tinkatink to her viewers in a livestream, only to nearly have her identity exposed when Tinkatink tried to steal the zipper off her Nidothing costume.
[[File:Dot and Franka.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot and Franka]]
In ''[[HZ041|A Wild Mom Appears!]]'', Dot's mother [[Franka]] came aboard the Brave Olivine, intending to take Dot home with her. Worried for how Dot felt about the situation, Liko and Roy asked her to tell them about how she came aboard the Brave Olivine. Later, when Franka realized her daughter had become a Trainer, she challenged Dot to a battle, much to the latter's confusion. During their battle, Dot conveyed to Franka how much she had grown as a person after joining the Rising Volt Tacklers. Her determination to win allowed Quaxly to learn {{m|Low Kick}} and defeat Franka's {{p|Lycanroc}}. Afterward, Dot asked if she could end the trial period and become a permanent member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which Franka readily agreed to.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the Explorers used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a kill program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts paid off, but after Dot shut the machine down, [[Coral]] lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}} directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.

In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Dot, Roy, Liko, and Friede challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Quaxly combined its strength with Sprigatito to launch attacks, but was quickly taken out by a stray {{m|Draco Meteor}}, leaving Dot unable to help with the rest of the battle. Eventually, only Liko and Roy were left, but, despite the best efforts of their Pokémon, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. Later, Dot, Liko, and Roy decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] module. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling a selected [[Gym Leader]] as part of their basic aptitude test—in Dot's case, Iono was chosen as her opponent.

The group arrived in Levincia for her test in ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', where they reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers and Iono. Right before a rehearsal match, Dot learned that Iono planned on streaming the upcoming test, resulting in her feeling anxious and being unable to properly focus on the battle, to which the Gym Leader offered that she could battle as Nidothing instead. Later, Dot hosted a Nidothing livestream touring through Levincia, though Liko and Quaxly were keen to notice that she seemed to be forcing herself to act cheerful. When asked if she was truly okay with taking the test as Nidothing, Dot snapped, insisting her decision was final, only for the conversation to be interrupted by a wild {{p|Varoom}} accidentally running off with the Nidothing costume. Dot chased after the Pokémon to the middle of the city and, despite being surrounded by onlookers and cameras, was able to overcome her anxiety, allowing her to effectively issue commands for Quaxly to defeat Varoom and retrieve the costume.
[[File:Dot and Iono HZ055.png|thumb|250px|Dot and Iono interacting with each other]]
Dot's battle against Iono began in the [[HZ050|following episode]]. Despite having studied her opponent's {{p|Bellibolt}} beforehand, Dot still struggled against the more experienced Pokémon, but she still managed to take advantage of an unexpected situation by Terastallizing Quaxly during a power outage, allowing him to damage his opponent while Iono's attention was elsewhere. Once the power was restored, however, Iono retaliated, Terastallizing her Bellibolt and defeating Quaxly with a supereffective move. Despite the loss, Dot and Quaxly still managed to pass their basics test for fully letting loose and having fun in battle, showing how their bond got improved.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the Gym Leaders they battled for their basic aptitude tests. Dot and Iono went up against [[Poppy]]'s {{p|Copperajah|Rajah}} and {{p|Tinkaton|Tinkie}} and, despite a initial struggle, managed to get the upper hand due to Dot's quick thinking: while her Quaxly Terastallized to distract Tinkie, Iono's Bellibolt defeated Rajah with an {{a|Electromorphosis}}-boosted {{m|Zap Cannon}}, winning the battle by default. In the [[HZ056|following episode]], Dot took care of Terapagos while Liko had her battle. At some point, the {{pkmn|category|Tera Pokémon}} wandered off, and she chased it to the academy's library, where she met [[Penny]] and learned that [[Chalce|Chive]] had somehow been registered as a teacher without Penny's knowing. After a brief encounter with Chive, Dot discovered and took out a copy of the [[Scarlet Book]], which Terapagos took an interest in.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Dot, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Medali]]'s {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}, where they met [[Larry]], the Gym Leader that Dot would have to battle for her Tera Training usage test. Despite her best tactics, the battle was not in her favor, with Larry managing to defeat Tinkatink and {{status|paralyze}} Quaxly while keeping both of his Pokémon. After realizing Quaxly had been imitating the movements of other Pokémon throughout the battle, Dot told him to incorporate those movements into his attacks, allowing him to deal a series of blows on {{p|Staraptor}}, which was the push necessary for Quaxly to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}. Dot followed it up with a Terastallization, but the paralysis persisted, leaving Quaxwell wide open to be defeated by his opponent. Although she lost, Larry praised Dot's ingenuity during the battle and awarded her a passing review.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Dot was contacted by Penny during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]], who informed her that someone on the inside was hacking into the academy's system. They quickly came to the conclusion that the Explorers, through Chalce, were trying to steal information about Terapagos. In order for the tournament to not be interrupted, they kept this under wraps and tried to solve it themselves, with Dot asking Liko and Roy for help to look out for the Explorers. Dot managed to find Chalce, but her {{p|Medicham}} alerted her and managed to keep Quaxwell at bay. Even with Penny trying to block her access to the system, Chalce managed to steal the data and {{m|Teleport}}ed away with her {{p|Xatu}}. In the [[HZ067|following episode]], Dot faced [[Rob]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} in the tournament and won after Terastallizing her Quaxwell.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Dot, Liko, and Roy reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Dot was challenged by Lucius's Lapras, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Dot Terastallized Quaxwell and had her use an enhanced Liquidation, which Lapras withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to her Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. In ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', Dot, Liko, Roy, and Friede traveled up [[Oni Mountain]] to meet with Briar at the [[Crystal Pool]], where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. Along the way, a wild {{p|Bombirdier}} pestered the group by dropping various objects on them and stole a metal plate that Tinkatink wanted to improve her hammer. Dot and her Pokémon chased Bombirdier to its nest, where Quaxwell was forced to confront it and its Terastallized partner while Tinkatink retrieved the plate. Once Tinkatink finished forging her new hammer, she evolved into {{p|Tinkatuff}} and turned the tide of battle, driving the Bombirdier off. In the [[HZ071|following episode]], the group arrived at the Crystal Pool and met with Briar, with whom they discussed about Terapagos, but ultimately left with no new leads. As the group returned to the Brave Olivine, Dot stayed behind in [[Mossui Town]] to record some footage for her channel and ended up meeting [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of a {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in [[Tengu Mountain]], though couldn't remember the exact location.

Dot, Liko, Roy, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with some a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Dot was separated from the others, but soon found Perrin and discovered that her inability to remember Kleavor's location was due to the effects of a wild {{p|Trevenant}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}}. With her skills, Dot was able to determine exactly where the photo had been taken, leading to the now reunited group successfully tracking down Kleavor in the [[HZ073|following episode]]. Despite Liko and Lapras's pleas, Kleavor did not go with them so easily, deciding to test the group's might first. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Dot, Liko, and Roy's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.
[[File:Dot and Penny.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot and Penny]]
The Rising Volt Tacklers's search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Dot, Liko, and Roy to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched all around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. After a long battle, they managed to weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza.

Dot, Liko, Roy, and Friede finally arrived at Laqua in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Dot faced off against Chalce and was able to level the playing field by resorting to some unpredictable tactics. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and, teaming up with Ceruledge, managed to knock Zygarde down. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza, which urged the Rising Volt Tacklers to flee the area. With [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] and [[Friede's Charizard]], the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Dot and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Dot returning home to her mother, where she continued making Nidothing videos.
[[File:Dot Tech Support.png|thumb|250px|Dot helping Roy from home]]
In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Dot contacted Roy for the first time in a year and asked him to seek out Pokémon affected by the Laquium mist. After Roy was joined by Liko on this journey, Dot remained in contact with them remotely, conveying information regarding Laquium Signs and the Black Rayquaza. In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', upon hearing of the Black Rayquaza's situation through Liko and Roy, Dot decided to meet up with them and Murdock in Cortondo.

Before heading to Cortondo, however, Dot was requested by Iono in ''[[HZ097|The Prankster]]'' to investigate a series of incidents where Pokémon were attacked by an unusually fast {{p|Stunfisk}} in Levincia. Noticing a pink mist surrounding the victims, Dot concluded the culprit was affected by Laquium. Later, she confronted the Stunfisk's Trainer, a boy named [[Stunner Fisk]] who deliberately pranked people to make content for his streaming channel. With the power boost provided by his [[Strong Sphere]], Stunner Fisk managed to take out Quaxwell, but was eventually defeated once Dot Terastallized Tinkatuff to strengthen its newly-learned {{m|Metal Claw}}. Afterward, Iono provided a Flying Taxi for Dot so she could go meet with Liko and the others. In the [[HZ098|following episode]], she reunited with Murdock, Liko, and Roy, met [[Ult]] in person, and joined them in their travel to meet with [[Orla]] in Galar.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Dot and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group found out that Karna had been hired to manufacture parts for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Due to their intervention, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take the order by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Dot and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Dot and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, [[Mollie]], Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They also talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Dot then reunited with Penny, who provided her a map with information about Laquium Signs across Paldea and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], inspired by Roy and Nemona's battle. The battle took place in the [[HZ102|following episode]] and ended up in Penny's victory.
[[File:Dot and Quaxwell.png|thumb|left|250px|Dot and Quaxwell surfing]]
In ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', Dot tried to stay on the Brave Olivine and away from the beach, but kept coming back because of the wild {{p|Gimmighoul}} that she and her friends encounterd before keeps controlling her into collecting [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] for it. However, upon seeing her Quaxwell's desire to go surfing, Dot decided to join in. While surfing, Dot saw that Gimmighoul stowed away on her board and ended up saving it from drifting away after it tried to save one of its coins when it dropped it into the ocean. Seeing that Gimmighoul wanted to become like a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gholdengo}} that enjoys surfing, Dot felt a kinship with the Coin Chest Pokémon and offered to help it make its dream come true, which {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} accepted, resulting in Dot adding it to her [[party|team]].

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Dot was searching for her Tinkatuff while her friends headed to an Exceed facility to search for [[Cervantis]]. Along the way, she encountered and battled against Coral and Sidian, who revealed the Rising Volt Tacklers were headed towards a trap. Dot had Quaxwell stall the Explorers while she and Gimmighoul helped Tinkatuff to forge her new hammer, helping her to evolve into {{p|Tinkaton}}. After her Evolution, Tinkaton defeated Glalie and had Coral and Sidian retreat. In the [[HZ110|next episode]], Dot met [[Hamber]] for the first time, both tracked down Cervantis's location but were attacked by Chalce. As Chalce pressured Hamber to not interfere, Dot battled Chalce alone, with Tinkaton eventually learning {{m|Gigaton Hammer}} to defeat Chalce's Medicham, causing the admin to retreat. Dot then helped free Cervantis, who revealed Spinel's experiment regarding the Super Strong Sphere on the Six Heroes. In the [[HZ111|following episode]], Dot with her group arrivied too late, as her friends and Amethio have been defeated by five of the Six Heroes. After biding farewell to Amethio, Cervantis and Hamber, Dot and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Dot and her friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann was there as an exchange student.

In [[HZ119]], Dot called Cervantis whom informed her of the Exceed Museum that was actually a data center where the data on Laquium was stored and it cut off from external connections. Knowing she had no choice but to get into the Museum personally, Dot enlisted Penny to help her, much to her shock and surprise. In the [[HZ120|next episode]], Dot and Penny were able to into the Exceed Museum and get the data on Laquium with Cervantis's help. Despite having to battle Chalce, Indi, and Rubina, Dot and Penny were able to escape thanks to her Gimmighoul evolving into {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}}. After escaping the Exceed Museum, Dot bid Penny farewell and head back to her friends.

In [[HZ124]], Dot and her friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Dot and Liko tried to hack through the back door but were caught by Indi and Rubina. After Amethio and his Ceruledge showed up in time, Dot hacks the door while he and Liko battle Indi and Rubina in a tag team. Dot goes in bewteen watching Amethio and Liko battle and hacking the door, even seeing Liko's {{p|Charcadet}} evolve into {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}} mid-battle, defeating the Explorers' two {{p|Salamence}} with its new {{m|Armor Cannon}} move, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Dot and her friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Dot and her friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Dot used her Quaxwell and Tinkaton against Lucius's Arboliva. After Dot's Quaxwell got knocked out, Dot brought out Gholdengo, as she had it distract Arboliva with Make It Rain while her Tinkaton charged up Gigaton Hammer, which led them to defeating the Olvie Pokémon.

In [[HZ127]], Dot had a battle against Penny, with Quaxwell against {{p|Vaporeon}}. Dot struggled at first due to Vaporeon's {{a|Water Absorb}} ability but had Quaxwell dodge and land attacks gracefully with his dancing skills. Penny suddenly fought dirty and had Vaporeon attack Tinkaton and Gholdengo, prompting Quaxwell to protect them, resulting in his defeat. Dot questioned Penny on her behavior but Penny pointed out that the Explorers will not fight fairly either, so she should not have been so naive. After her loss, Dot considered resigning from fighting on the front lines, as her self esteem has been being deeply affected.

In [[HZ128]], Dot was still researching Tera types, feeling solemn over her previous loss. Ult tried to forcibly persuade her to come back as a front line batter, with both trainers arguing as a result. However, Iono stepped in and showed Dot how Quaxwell has been training hard and calls her out on not understanding her partner. Dot then battled against Iono for the second time, determined to prove her wrong. After Quaxwell learn {{m|Wave Crash}} and evolved into {{p|Quaquaval}}, both trainers Terastallized their Pokémon, with Quaquaval defeating Bellibolt and Dot winning the battle. Dot then regained her confidence to battle as a front liner, while providing data support to Roy and Ult as they headed to battle the Black Rayquaza.

===Character===
[[File:Dot eyes.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot with her hair up]]
As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after becoming a Pokémon Trainer herself in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable. Dot also uses the experiences she gained from being a Trainer as inspiration for her videos, as seen in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to make a video about [[Multi Battle]]s. In addition, Dot learns more about Pokémon and to create bonds with them, especially with her own.
[[File:Dot and Iono.png|thumb|250px|Dot and Iono]]
As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, '''''What's up!''''' (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). Her Japanese catchphrase is a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name (Japanese: '''クワッス''' ''Kuwassu''). Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} as a messenger to communicate with them. While not necessarily shy, she is incredibly introverted and finds the other members too bothersome to interact with. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'' when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and Quaxly. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]]'s advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room.

Dot eventually grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Dot also went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', as she left her room and the Brave Olivine to find her. At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a [[Black Rayquaza]] inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. As time went on, Dot became close with Liko and Roy, as she mostly hangs out with them. Dot also has formed a friendship with Iono, who was a inspiration for her to begin her streaming career, and refers to her as (Japanese: '''ナンジャモお姉さん''' ''Big sister Nanjyamo'').
[[File:HZ049.png|250px|thumb|left|Dot's discomfort of cameras]]
Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]''. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being Nidothing in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Dot even told Roy that she is Nidothing, as she came to trust him to know the truth about her influencer and a video distributor identity. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Dot is shown to have some discomfort with being around cameras when she is not in her Nidothing costume, which cause her to freeze while trying to retrieve it from {{p|Varoom}}. Afterwards, the encouragement from Quaxly helped rid of her uneasiness of cameras from others.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|250px|thumb|Dot and her friends]]
Dot dislikes being misled, as seen in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', when she found out that the information she got about Liko's whereabouts was false. This was shown again in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she got misled in getting information about the Black Rayquaza. She also doesn't like the cold, as she freezes real easily whenever she thinks about it or is around it, as seen in ''[[HZ060|Roy and Fuecoco's First Snow!]]'' and ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]''. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room. In addition, Dot seems to be interacting with the rest of her teammates and Murdock. However, after returning from her [[Tera Training]] with Liko and Roy, Dot doesn't spend a lot of time in her room and is much more interactive, even joining the team meetings in person instead of using her Rotom Phone, as seen in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]''. She even joins Liko and Roy in traveling with Friede. Although she already respected Friede as a Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor]], Dot eventually comes to admire the latter for his generosity and understanding of others.

She appears to be tomboyish in appearance. In Japanese, she uses the {{wp|Japanese pronouns|first-person personal pronoun}} {{tt|僕|ぼく}} ''boku'', a pronoun which is primarily used by males; when used by females, it is associated with tomboys. Dot is a fan of a Monthly [[Occulture|Occulture]] book series, as shown in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]''. This was shown again in ''[[HZ076|Wynaut?! Wy-Yes!]]'', when Dot became excited to meet a journalist for the Occulture book series in Rising Volt Tackler member [[Wy-Yes]]. Also, in the same episode, Dot became excited that Wy-Yes put her, Liko, and Roy in a Occulture article. Dot even shows appreciation for science fiction movies, as seen in [[HZ121]], after Ludlow used Guy Silver's space film as an lecture about space travel to her, Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]].

Dot appears to have enjoyment for eating sweets, even coming to like Murdock's treats. Also, Dot and her friends take the time to try the popular sweets spot in various town they visit. Although, despite her sweet tooth, Dot has come to enjoy in trying various other foods. Dot does care about Pokémon greatly and would do her best to make them happy, especially her partners. She also shows support of a Pokémon's dream and would do what she can to help them make it happen, as shown in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', when she decided to help {{p|Gimmighoul}} collect the [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] it needs to evolve into {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}} and succeeded in doing so in [[HZ120]].

After the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanded following both the loss of Friede and being framed by [[Spinel]] for the Explorers' actions, Dot has gone back to spending her time in her room at home. However, unlike before Liko and Roy came into her life, Dot misses being out and traveling. Part of the reason she is still in her room is her work on making Nidothing videos and helping her best friends find Laquium signs. Despite this, Dot is much more ready to jump into action, as seen in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', when she decided to meet up with Liko, Roy, and Murdock in person in Paldea. Like Roy, Dot finds Ult annoying but comes to respect him as a friend, Trainer, and teammate.

Ever since the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Dot works with Liko, Roy, and [[Captain Pikachu]] in making decisions during Friede's absences, as she and the rest of her teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explores. Dot also helps with the team's finances, as seen in ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', when she and Iono did a collaboration event to raise funds for their travels. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Dot comes to [[HZ122|accept]] in being a founding member of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that Murdock, her best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of her teammates are there to guide her whenever she needed it.

Dot has shown to be much more confident in herself than she was before she started her adventures with the Rising Volt Tacklers, as being a member of the team changed her life for the better. She is also able to speak her mind a lot further and bravely faces the world head on. In addition, Dot has shown to be less stressed out in maintaining her schedule as Nidothing, but is still keeping her identity a secret from everyone, except for those she is closes to. Although, after having a battle with [[Penny]] in [[HZ127]], Dot's confidences have taken a hit and is beginning to consider being the support for her friends, as she comes to think that she is holding them back. However, after having a battle with Iono in the [[HZ128|next episode]] with her Quaxwell's evolving into {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}} in the process, Dot regains her confidences and her resolve to battle alongside her friends.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Dot team.png|thumb|250px|Dot's current [[party]]]]
Dot's team consists of Pokémon who are outgoing and enjoy doing various activities: [[Dot's Quaquaval|Quaquaval]] is relaxed, [[Dot's Tinkaton|Tinkaton]] has determination, and [[Dot's Gholdengo|Gholdengo]] is easy-going, which is the opposite of their Trainer. Also, Dot's Pokémon have been a good influence on their Trainer, as they inspired her to be friendly, determined, and see the world. Her Quaquaval and Tinkaton participate in her Nidothing videos, even when they were in their first stages, while her Gholdengo acts as transportation.

Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Quaquaval and Tinkaton are Dot's main {{pkmn|battle|battlers}} while Gholdengo is the secondary battler. Dot's Pokémon share a close bond with each other and act like siblings.

===Nidothing's videos===
[[File:Dot Chimecho Research.png|250px|thumb|Dot making external recordings for her channel]]
In some episodes, Nidothing replaces the role of the [[narrator]] from previous series, explaining some concepts of the [[Pokémon world]]. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', Dot revealed that she pre-recorded several videos between the events of ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'' and ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]''. This allowed her to still upload content while she went on a [[Pokémon journey]] with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] to participate in the [[Tera Training]].
[[File:Nidothing doll.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko with a doll created based on Nidothing made by [[Litten Smitten]]]]
After a long hiatus, Dot began recording videos again in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', this time reintroducing her partner, {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} after his [[Evolution]]. A year later, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', it was revealed that Dot was still making videos, this time warning about some cases involving Pokémon affected by [[Laquium]]. Dot's popularity as Nidothing spans across several regions of the [[Pokémon world]], with her videos being seen from [[Kanto]] to [[Paldea]] and with some subscribers such as [[Liko]], [[Zirc]], [[Penny]] and others.

==Trivia==
* Nidothing's costume resembles a {{p|Nidorina}}.

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of [[wild Pokémon]] heard him and followed him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended him. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Olivine, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave him some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted him to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a {{i|Poké Ball}} that Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} gave him, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with Captain Pikachu, they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', {{an|Nemona}} led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy and Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} as his second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wandered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]]. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Captain Pikachu to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel's lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Cap for a [[rematch]] but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Cap again.

In the [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up and they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends' curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. Eventually, [[Orla]] was able to convince Friede into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to him being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko received some training from Kabu before having a [[Multi Battle]] against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out from Kabu that the Black Rayquaza was at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Roy and Liko met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to its Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and [[Onia]], which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by Coral and Sidian, respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and {{an|Nemona}}]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's basic aptitude test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering the words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, evolving into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.
[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their basic aptitude tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third form of Terapagos. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} [[Ability]] to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her. Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom, to prevent the destruction of the students' artworks, while Coral followed in pursuit. After a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko [[HZ067|are set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both Kilowattrel and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Roy and Liko both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Roy, Liko, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After Liko received Lucius's belt back from Friede, Roy was challenged by Lucius's Moltres, who wanted to test his strength as a Trainer at the end of his Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Roy Terastallized Crocalor and had him use an enhanced Flame Charge, which Moltres withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a [[photo]] of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Roy, Liko Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Roy ended up separated from the others after he and Crocalor fell into an underground cave, but they managed to find their way out and counted on Kilowattrel to take them up the mountain. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the [[Black Rayquaza]] again]]
After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Roy, Liko, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. Having achieved his goal of catching Rayquaza, Roy decided to have the Legendary Pokémon acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Roy faced off against Coral, this time against her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and managed to win without resorting to Terastallization even when his opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of [[Laquium]], the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}} attack, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Once Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and managed to knock Zygarde down, the Legendary Pokémon forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.
[[File:Roy changing his look.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy changing his look]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Roy witnessed Lucius fading away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Roy and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Roy and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that [[Exceed]] had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, dropping him back to Kanto. In the year following these events, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and somehow caught a {{Shiny|yellow}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in his travels. In that same year, Roy [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Ult]] in [[Kalos]], which led to both becoming [[Rival|rivals]], acquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

[[HZ090|One year after]] ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Roy received a message from Dot informing him about Laquium effects still existing worldwide. Roy and his rival Ult both battled and defeated a Laquium-enhanced wild {{p|Slaking}} with their respective Pokémon, after which Roy left his rival behind to meet with Liko at [[Indigo Academy]]. Roy then showed up at Indigo Academy, [[HZ091|meeting up]] with Liko for the first time in a year. He then battled and defeated both Ann and Liko. After that, Liko then decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua and clearing the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Roy and Liko went to an Exceed facility after their battle with a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}} in the [[HZ094|last episode]], figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. Roy and Liko then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Roy and Liko, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy battling Ann]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Roy and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Roy, Ult, Dot, and Liko teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Roy and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Roy and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Later, after reuniting with Nemona, Roy faced her in a [[Double Battle]], using Crocalor and Lucario against Nemona's {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. During the climax of the battle, Roy Mega Evolved his Lucario and Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot into a {{T|Fighting}}-type, which ended the battle in a final clash between the two and the in the latter's defeat, resulting in Roy's victory.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Roy joined Liko and Ult in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Roy's Pokémon struggled to deal significant damage to the Six Heroes. After Pagogo was defeated, Roy and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Roy and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Roy and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Roy and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann is there as an exchange student.

In [[HZ116]], Roy started his training with one of the BB Elite 4 members, [[Drayton]], by doing some Blueberry quests. The "training" turned out to be false when [[Lacey]] discovered Drayton had tricked Roy into doing his quests for him. After Drayton heard Roy battled with Hassel, whom his grandfather was associated with, he began to train Roy seriously with a Double Battle. While Roy's Pokémon held their own, once Drayton used {{m|Rain Dance}} to his advantage, Crocalor and Kilowattrel were defeated easily, causing Roy to lose. After this loss, Drayton told Roy he should be more calm and less tense in battle, after which Roy and Crocalor chose to laze around next to a {{p|Slakoth}} in the [[Terarium]] to get an idea of what Drayton meant.

In [[HZ119]], Roy and Drayton had their rematch, with Crocalor and Kilowattrel facing off against {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Archaludon}} once again. This time Roy was more calm and composed, trusting his Pokémon better and using better strategies to counter his oppnent's weather tactics. Soon Kingdra was defeated with a combined attack, only for Archaludon to attack Crocalor, resulting in Kilowattrel protecting its teammate and getting knocked out afterwards. With Kilowattrel's defeat, Crocalor clashed with Archaludon, with Roy cheering him on, which resulted in his evolution into {{p|Skeledirge}}. After Roy and Drayton Terastallized their respective Pokémon, Skeledirge defeated Archaludon by powering through its Draco Meteor attack with Flamethrower, winning Roy the rematch. Roy thanked Drayton for his training, and Liko congratulated Roy on his victory.

In [[HZ122]], Roy and Skeledirge battled against Friede's Charizard for the first time. Thanks to a newly learned [[Torch Song (move)|Torch Song]], Skeledirge eventually managed to defeat Charizard.
[[File:Roy and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy after battling the Black Rayquaza]]
In [[HZ124]], Roy and his friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Roy and Ult went up the roof but were caught by the grunts and battle them. After defeating them, Roy and Ult meet up with the girls and Amethio, as Dot was able to get them in by hacking the door. Roy and his friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Roy and his friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Roy used his Skeledirge and Kilowattrel to battle Lucius's Moltres. Despite struggling, Roy is able to find an opening for his Pokémon to battle Moltres, but found one then combined his Kilowattrel use its newly learn {{m|Supercell Slam}} and Skeledirge's {{m|Torch Song}}, defeating the Malevolent Pokémon.

In [[HZ127]], Roy battled against Nemona with Lucario and Pawmot having a rematch. After a tough fight Roy Mega-evolved Lucario while Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot, with Lucario being defeated as a result, causing Roy to lose the battle.

In [[HZ129]], Roy, Liko, and Ult travelled to the Dragon's den to battle the Black Rayquaza, though not before feeding it a meteorite given by Friede. Rayquaza then Terastallized and battled Roy and Ult's Pokémon teams, defeating most of their Pokémon, with only Skeledirge remaining as a final battler. Roy encouraged Skeledirge with all his effort, allowing Skeledirge to slow down and take Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, and then defeated it with Flamethrower. Roy then officially caught Rayquaza, who acknowledged him as a Trainer, finally fufilling his dream. Rayquaza then exited its Poké Ball and started roaming the world until the time comes to gather the Six Heroes to get rid of Laquium once and for all.

In [[HZ131]], Roy is reunited with Master Mayonnaise whom came to the Kalos Region looking for him and Ult and ran into Friede being fascinated with his Mega Starmie. He receives the [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise for his Lucario. Soon, he and Lucario battle against Master Mayonnaise and his [[Hawlucha (Pokémon)|Hawlucha]]. At first, its showboat personality made it vulnerable to attack, however after it Mega Evolved, Lucario's attacks couldn't physically phase it. Roy tried to Mega Evolve Lucario with the new Mega Stone, however, it didn't respond to him nor Lucario before it was defeated. Master Mayonnaise revealed the reason why Roy and Lucario couldn't Master it is because their usage of Aura wasn't compatible to use the new Mega Evolution form. Roy vowed to learn and train his [[Aura]] until he could learn it alongside Lucario and asked Master Mayonnaise to train him again, which he agreed to.

In [[HZ132]], Roy and the group arrived at Diana's place to request her help, which she accepted. Roy trains his Lucario's Aura in order to use its new Mega Evovle form. However, realizing that Lucario isn't relax like him and the rest of his Pokémon are, Roy encourged the Aura Pokémon to join them and sang together. Roy and his Pokémon then watch Ult train with Diana and Master Mayonnaise. Through Ult's advice about finding a new battle style and has been using it for his Pokémon, Roy realize that he and Lucario need to do the same. Roy was then challenged to a rematch by Master Mayonnaise, which he accepted. During the battle, Roy and Lucario found a new battling style, even becoming in sync, leading to Lucario Mega Evolving into its Z form. Through their teamwork, Roy and Lucario won the rematch then bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise. Roy and the group head for Laqua.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|thumb|250px|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he's solved them. Due to growing up on an island, Roy struggles to navigate through large cities like [[Levincia]] and [[Lumiose City]] as all the buildings look the same to him, leading him to get lost easily as shown in ''[[Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!|''Someone We Can’t See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'' and ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]''.

He always keeps his head up and is looking ahead, which [[Emma]]'s points out in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]''. Those characteristic's seem to be an inspiration to those around him, such as [[Dot]] and [[Ult]]. He also has a way of cheering up his friends whenever they are sad or down and knows how to raise their spirts. In addition, Roy doesn't usually show downer emotions, such a depression and sadness. Although, Roy does show those emotions, but doesn't let them affect him very long and shakes it off quickly.

Roy is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems, especially his own. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the [[Brave Olivine]] his main place to do them.

Upon being assigned to hoist the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s flag in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy not only takes his job seriously, but also takes care of it. Roy is also fond of the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag, having found it in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', and symbolizes as to how he meet his friends, especially Fuecoco and Liko, and fond his ambitions. Through taking care of the Rising Volt Tackler's flag, Roy learned how to sew it back up whenever it got torn up, as seen in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''. Roy also enjoys watching the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag blow into the wind when he and his teammates are flying around the Brave Olivine.

[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and Dot, as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer {{an|Nemona}}, which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokémon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'' where he effortlessly commanded his {{p|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundred percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students' artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy connecting with his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} through [[aura]]]]
As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasized in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

Since losing Friede, the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival Ult is tenuous at best: while Roy can get along with him, respects Ult's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Ult to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Ult and teases him. Despite this, Roy does have a close friendship with Ult and tries to keep him out of trouble. Roy does show concern for Ult and doesn't want to see him get hurt. Although, as time passed, Roy's friendship with Ult has shown improvement, as they clash less and are more supportive to each other.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Roy helps Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absence, as he and the rest of his teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explorers. Roy also has help in Liko and Dot for making decisions for the group's destinations because the three of them are the reason the team reformed and Ult joining the group as their newest member. In addition, Roy has been flying the Brave Olivine, as Murdock taught him in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'' and has been doing so ever since. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Roy was willing to give leadership back to him and didn't have to worry about the burden of being in charge. However, after having a battle with Friede in the [[HZ122|next episode]], Roy has come to accept being the leader of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that his best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of his teammates are there to help him. He is also learning on how to maintain the Brave Olivine from [[Orla]], as seen in [[HZ123]].

During his training with [[Drayton]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Roy learned to become more relaxed even in the heat of battle as before he would get very worked up and thus leave him unable to think about the next move and he would panic slightly about what to do next. This trait partially lead to his defeat by Drayton in [[HZ116]], but using what he learned from Drayton he won the rematch in [[HZ119]] with his Crocalor evolving into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} in the process. Roy's development in being relax in battle is shown in [[HZ125]], when he stayed calm and found an opening during his battle against Moltres. He even used Drayton's lesson to help his Lucario be less frustrated and go with the flow more in [[HZ132]].

In [[HZ131]], it's revealed that Roy isn't able to properly use or harness Aura for his Lucario to have access to its new Mega Evolution, despite being able to read Lucario's movements in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'' though his and Crocalor's Aura. However, after bonding more, Roy and his Lucario were able to pull off the new Mega Evolution in their rematch against Master Mayonnaise.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's current [[party]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons, which is a trait their Trainer's also has, who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} was initially embarrassed of singing in front of others, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights, and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} would easily get frustrated. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. During Skeledirge and Kilowattrel's first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types. His Pokémon all share Roy's eagerness for battling, as they don't give up until the end.

Furthermore, his Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Skeledirge and {{p|Lucario}} are Roy's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, with Lucario's [[Mega Evolution]] in particular acting as the team's power equalizer against tougher opponents, while Kilowattrel is the secondary battler, although it mainly acts as aerial support. When Captain Pikachu was traveling with Roy, he often contributed in tough battles with his greater experience and power. Roy's Pokémon seem to have a tight knit bond with each other and especially work well together as a unit due to their extensive training in [[Kalos]].

==Trivia ==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the {{pkmn|animated series}} by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
* Roy is the first male main character:
** To keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
** To own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
* Roy is the first main human character since {{an|Cilan}} to not debut in the first episode of his series.
* Roy is the first main character to:
** Have obtained a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
** Catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
** Become the leader of an established team.
** Own more than one Shiny Pokémon.
* All of Roy's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} in [[Paldea]], {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in [[Kalos]], and [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] in [[Johto]].
** Additionally, all of Roy’s Pokémon were recurring [[wild Pokémon]] at some point, never being caught in the same episode that that he encountered them for the first time. While Lucario [[HZ089|debuted]] under his ownership, it later appeared in [[Episode: Mega Evolution|three episodes]] set in the past and depicting it as a wild Pokémon before its capture.
*** This makes Roy the only main character whose Pokémon have all chronologically appeared in at least one episode before being caught.
* Roy is the first main character other than {{Ash}} to be able to use more than one battle technique.
* Roy is the first [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
* Roy is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** Shiny Pokémon.
** A Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, Roy uses the phrase '''seize your true power and go above and beyond''' (Japanese: '''真なる力を掴んで超えろ！''' ''Grasp true power and go beyond!'').
* Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of [[wild Pokémon]] heard him and followed him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended him. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Olivine, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave him some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted him to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a {{i|Poké Ball}} that Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} gave him, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with Captain Pikachu, they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', {{an|Nemona}} led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy and Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} as his second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wandered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]]. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Captain Pikachu to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel's lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Cap for a [[rematch]] but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Cap again.

In the [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up and they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends' curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. Eventually, [[Orla]] was able to convince Friede into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to him being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko received some training from Kabu before having a [[Multi Battle]] against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out from Kabu that the Black Rayquaza was at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Roy and Liko met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to its Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and [[Onia]], which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by Coral and Sidian, respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and {{an|Nemona}}]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's basic aptitude test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering the words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, evolving into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.
[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their basic aptitude tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third form of Terapagos. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} [[Ability]] to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her. Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom, to prevent the destruction of the students' artworks, while Coral followed in pursuit. After a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko [[HZ067|are set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both Kilowattrel and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Roy and Liko both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Roy, Liko, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After Liko received Lucius's belt back from Friede, Roy was challenged by Lucius's Moltres, who wanted to test his strength as a Trainer at the end of his Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Roy Terastallized Crocalor and had him use an enhanced Flame Charge, which Moltres withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a [[photo]] of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Roy, Liko Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Roy ended up separated from the others after he and Crocalor fell into an underground cave, but they managed to find their way out and counted on Kilowattrel to take them up the mountain. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the [[Black Rayquaza]] again]]
After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Roy, Liko, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. Having achieved his goal of catching Rayquaza, Roy decided to have the Legendary Pokémon acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Roy faced off against Coral, this time against her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and managed to win without resorting to Terastallization even when his opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of [[Laquium]], the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}} attack, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Once Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and managed to knock Zygarde down, the Legendary Pokémon forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.
[[File:Roy changing his look.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy changing his look]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Roy witnessed Lucius fading away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Roy and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Roy and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that [[Exceed]] had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, dropping him back to Kanto. In the year following these events, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and somehow caught a {{Shiny|yellow}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in his travels. In that same year, Roy [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Ult]] in [[Kalos]], which led to both becoming [[Rival|rivals]], acquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

[[HZ090|One year after]] ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Roy received a message from Dot informing him about Laquium effects still existing worldwide. Roy and his rival Ult both battled and defeated a Laquium-enhanced wild {{p|Slaking}} with their respective Pokémon, after which Roy left his rival behind to meet with Liko at [[Indigo Academy]]. Roy then showed up at Indigo Academy, [[HZ091|meeting up]] with Liko for the first time in a year. He then battled and defeated both Ann and Liko. After that, Liko then decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua and clearing the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Roy and Liko went to an Exceed facility after their battle with a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}} in the [[HZ094|last episode]], figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. Roy and Liko then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Roy and Liko, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy battling Ann]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Roy and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Roy, Ult, Dot, and Liko teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Roy and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Roy and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Later, after reuniting with Nemona, Roy faced her in a [[Double Battle]], using Crocalor and Lucario against Nemona's {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. During the climax of the battle, Roy Mega Evolved his Lucario and Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot into a {{T|Fighting}}-type, which ended the battle in a final clash between the two and the in the latter's defeat, resulting in Roy's victory.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Roy joined Liko and Ult in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Roy's Pokémon struggled to deal significant damage to the Six Heroes. After Pagogo was defeated, Roy and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Roy and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Roy and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Roy and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann is there as an exchange student.

In [[HZ116]], Roy started his training with one of the BB Elite 4 members, [[Drayton]], by doing some Blueberry quests. The "training" turned out to be false when [[Lacey]] discovered Drayton had tricked Roy into doing his quests for him. After Drayton heard Roy battled with Hassel, whom his grandfather was associated with, he began to train Roy seriously with a Double Battle. While Roy's Pokémon held their own, once Drayton used {{m|Rain Dance}} to his advantage, Crocalor and Kilowattrel were defeated easily, causing Roy to lose. After this loss, Drayton told Roy he should be more calm and less tense in battle, after which Roy and Crocalor chose to laze around next to a {{p|Slakoth}} in the [[Terarium]] to get an idea of what Drayton meant.

In [[HZ119]], Roy and Drayton had their rematch, with Crocalor and Kilowattrel facing off against {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Archaludon}} once again. This time Roy was more calm and composed, trusting his Pokémon better and using better strategies to counter his oppnent's weather tactics. Soon Kingdra was defeated with a combined attack, only for Archaludon to attack Crocalor, resulting in Kilowattrel protecting its teammate and getting knocked out afterwards. With Kilowattrel's defeat, Crocalor clashed with Archaludon, with Roy cheering him on, which resulted in his evolution into {{p|Skeledirge}}. After Roy and Drayton Terastallized their respective Pokémon, Skeledirge defeated Archaludon by powering through its Draco Meteor attack with Flamethrower, winning Roy the rematch. Roy thanked Drayton for his training, and Liko congratulated Roy on his victory.

In [[HZ122]], Roy and Skeledirge battled against Friede's Charizard for the first time. Thanks to a newly learned [[Torch Song (move)|Torch Song]], Skeledirge eventually managed to defeat Charizard.
[[File:Roy and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy after battling the Black Rayquaza]]
In [[HZ124]], Roy and his friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Roy and Ult went up the roof but were caught by the grunts and battle them. After defeating them, Roy and Ult meet up with the girls and Amethio, as Dot was able to get them in by hacking the door. Roy and his friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Roy and his friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Roy used his Skeledirge and Kilowattrel to battle Lucius's Moltres. Despite struggling, Roy is able to find an opening for his Pokémon to battle Moltres, but found one then combined his Kilowattrel use its newly learn {{m|Supercell Slam}} and Skeledirge's {{m|Torch Song}}, defeating the Malevolent Pokémon.

In [[HZ127]], Roy battled against Nemona with Lucario and Pawmot having a rematch. After a tough fight Roy Mega-evolved Lucario while Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot, with Lucario being defeated as a result, causing Roy to lose the battle.

In [[HZ129]], Roy, Liko, and Ult travelled to the Dragon's den to battle the Black Rayquaza, though not before feeding it a meteorite given by Friede. Rayquaza then Terastallized and battled Roy and Ult's Pokémon teams, defeating most of their Pokémon, with only Skeledirge remaining as a final battler. Roy encouraged Skeledirge with all his effort, allowing Skeledirge to slow down and take Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, and then defeated it with Flamethrower. Roy then officially caught Rayquaza, who acknowledged him as a Trainer, finally fufilling his dream. Rayquaza then exited its Poké Ball and started roaming the world until the time comes to gather the Six Heroes to get rid of Laquium once and for all.

In [[HZ131]], Roy is reunited with Master Mayonnaise whom came to the Kalos Region looking for him and Ult and ran into Friede being fascinated with his Mega Starmie. He receives the [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise for his Lucario. Soon, he and Lucario battle against Master Mayonnaise and his [[Hawlucha (Pokémon)|Hawlucha]]. At first, its showboat personality made it vulnerable to attack, however after it Mega Evolved, Lucario's attacks couldn't physically phase it. Roy tried to Mega Evolve Lucario with the new Mega Stone, however, it didn't respond to him nor Lucario before it was defeated. Master Mayonnaise revealed the reason why Roy and Lucario couldn't Master it is because their usage of Aura wasn't compatible to use the new Mega Evolution form. Roy vowed to learn and train his [[Aura]] until he could learn it alongside Lucario and asked Master Mayonnaise to train him again, which he agreed to.

In [[HZ132]], Roy and the group arrived at Diana's place to request her help, which she accepted. Roy trains his Lucario's Aura in order to use its new Mega Evovle form. However, realizing that Lucario isn't relax like him and the rest of his Pokémon are, Roy encourged the Aura Pokémon to join them and sang together. Roy and his Pokémon then watch Ult train with Diana and Master Mayonnaise. Through Ult's advice about finding a new battle style and has been using it for his Pokémon, Roy realize that he and Lucario need to do the same. Roy was then challenged to a rematch by Master Mayonnaise, which he accepted. During the battle, Roy and Lucario found a new battling style, even becoming in sync, leading to Lucario Mega Evolving into its Z form. Through their teamwork, Roy and Lucario won the rematch then bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise. Roy and the group head for Laqua.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|thumb|250px|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he's solved them. Due to growing up on an island, Roy struggles to navigate through large cities like [[Levincia]] and [[Lumiose City]] as all the buildings look the same to him, leading him to get lost easily as shown in ''[[Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!|''Someone We Can’t See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'' and ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]''.

He always keeps his head up and is looking ahead, which [[Emma]]'s points out in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]''. Those characteristic's seem to be an inspiration to those around him, such as [[Dot]] and [[Ult]]. He also has a way of cheering up his friends whenever they are sad or down and knows how to raise their spirts. In addition, Roy doesn't usually show downer emotions, such a depression and sadness. Although, Roy does show those emotions, but doesn't let them affect him very long and shakes it off quickly.

Roy is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems, especially his own. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the [[Brave Olivine]] his main place to do them.

Upon being assigned to hoist the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s flag in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy not only takes his job seriously, but also takes care of it. Roy is also fond of the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag, having found it in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', and symbolizes as to how he meet his friends, especially Fuecoco and Liko, and fond his ambitions. Through taking care of the Rising Volt Tackler's flag, Roy learned how to sew it back up whenever it got torn up, as seen in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''. Roy also enjoys watching the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag blow into the wind when he and his teammates are flying around the Brave Olivine.

[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and Dot, as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer {{an|Nemona}}, which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokémon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'' where he effortlessly commanded his {{p|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundred percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students' artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy connecting with his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} through [[aura]]]]
As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasized in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

Since losing Friede, the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival Ult is tenuous at best: while Roy can get along with him, respects Ult's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Ult to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Ult and teases him. Despite this, Roy does have a close friendship with Ult and tries to keep him out of trouble. Roy does show concern for Ult and doesn't want to see him get hurt. Although, as time passed, Roy's friendship with Ult has shown improvement, as they clash less and are more supportive to each other.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Roy helps Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absence, as he and the rest of his teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explorers. Roy also has help in Liko and Dot for making decisions for the group's destinations because the three of them are the reason the team reformed and Ult joining the group as their newest member. In addition, Roy has been flying the Brave Olivine, as Murdock taught him in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'' and has been doing so ever since. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Roy was willing to give leadership back to him and didn't have to worry about the burden of being in charge. However, after having a battle with Friede in the [[HZ122|next episode]], Roy has come to accept being the leader of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that his best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of his teammates are there to help him. He is also learning on how to maintain the Brave Olivine from [[Orla]], as seen in [[HZ123]].

During his training with [[Drayton]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Roy learned to become more relaxed even in the heat of battle as before he would get very worked up and thus leave him unable to think about the next move and he would panic slightly about what to do next. This trait partially lead to his defeat by Drayton in [[HZ116]], but using what he learned from Drayton he won the rematch in [[HZ119]] with his Crocalor evolving into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} in the process. Roy's development in being relax in battle is shown in [[HZ125]], when he stayed calm and found an opening during his battle against Moltres. He even used Drayton's lesson to help his Lucario be less frustrated and go with the flow more in [[HZ132]].

In [[HZ131]], it's revealed that Roy isn't able to properly use or harness Aura for his Lucario to have access to its new Mega Evolution, despite being able to read Lucario's movements in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'' though his and Crocalor's Aura. However, after bonding more, Roy and his Lucario were able to pull off the new Mega Evolution in their rematch against Master Mayonnaise.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's current [[party]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons, which is a trait their Trainer's also has, who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} was initially embarrassed of singing in front of others, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights, and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} would easily get frustrated. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. During Skeledirge and Kilowattrel's first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types. His Pokémon all share Roy's eagerness for battling, as they don't give up until the end.

Furthermore, his Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Skeledirge and {{p|Lucario}} are Roy's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, with Lucario's [[Mega Evolution]] in particular acting as the team's power equalizer against tougher opponents, while Kilowattrel is the secondary battler, although it mainly acts as aerial support. When Captain Pikachu was traveling with Roy, he often contributed in tough battles with his greater experience and power. Roy's Pokémon seem to have a tight knit bond with each other and especially work well together as a unit due to their extensive training in [[Kalos]].

Roy, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Roy is seen using {{p|Quaxly}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Sprigatito}}, and {{p|Fuecoco}}, with Quaxly, Charizard, and Sprigatito being Pokémon that he was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Dot's Quaxly]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Liko's Sprigatito]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], Roy, [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia ==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the {{pkmn|animated series}} by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
* Roy is the first male main character:
** To keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
** To own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
* Roy is the first main human character since {{an|Cilan}} to not debut in the first episode of his series.
* Roy is the first main character to:
** Have obtained a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
** Catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
** Become the leader of an established team.
** Own more than one Shiny Pokémon.
* All of Roy's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} in [[Paldea]], {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in [[Kalos]], and [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] in [[Johto]].
** Additionally, all of Roy’s Pokémon were recurring [[wild Pokémon]] at some point, never being caught in the same episode that that he encountered them for the first time. While Lucario [[HZ089|debuted]] under his ownership, it later appeared in [[Episode: Mega Evolution|three episodes]] set in the past and depicting it as a wild Pokémon before its capture.
*** This makes Roy the only main character whose Pokémon have all chronologically appeared in at least one episode before being caught.
* Roy is the first main character other than {{Ash}} to be able to use more than one battle technique.
* Roy is the first [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
* Roy is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** Shiny Pokémon.
** A Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, Roy uses the phrase '''seize your true power and go above and beyond''' (Japanese: '''真なる力を掴んで超えろ！''' ''Grasp true power and go beyond!'').
* Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

She is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Cabo Poco]] whose goal is to understand Pokémon better. She owned a mysterious pendant that was given to her by [[Diana|her grandmother]] and was [[HZ024|later]] revealed to be a hibernating {{an|Terapagos}}. Her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} that she received at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko also [[HZ003|eventually]] becomes a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Liko.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Liko]]
Liko was born in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and grew up in [[Cabo Poco]] with her parents, [[Alex]] and [[Lucca]]. Her grandmother, [[Diana]], was also an important part of her childhood, with Liko hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. After being accepted into [[Indigo Academy]], Liko was given a mysterious pendant by Diana, which she said would be important to her in the future.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|250px|thumb|Liko awakening her [[Pagogo|pendant]] for the first time]]
Liko debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She enrolled in [[Indigo Academy]] at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} listen to her instructions in {{pkmn|battle}}, but to little avail.

One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the group, who called themselves [[Explorers]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had her partner unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but she got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture her before fleeing.
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that [[Murdock]] and Friede had found Onia. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for him. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visit [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her.

In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared interest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.
[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and [[Alex|her father]]]]
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{an|Nemona}} and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Rotom hypnotized.png|thumb|200px|Liko and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} having their memories erased by [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}}]]
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finished treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that Dot sent her a picture of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. In [[HZ015|the following episode]], Dot staged a collaboration with {{an|Iono}} in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a [[Multi Battle]] against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]].
[[File:Liko holding Hatenna.png|thumb|250px|Liko catches {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} as her second Pokémon]]
In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Liko and Roy met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] once more in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get her to come out, as she was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing her that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|transform}} in order to battle the Black Rayquaza after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Liko and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|Liko and [[Lucca|her mother]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a [[rematch]] against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy's {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}}, Teddy, used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.

In ''[[HZ053|Hatenna and the Otherworldly]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and used her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}} to defeat the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.
[[File:Liko and her friends.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann at Naranja Academy]]
In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Liko was paired with Katy for an aptitude match against [[Rika]] of the Paldea [[Elite Four]]. During the battle, Liko became frustrated, comparing herself with the other Trainers and thinking she couldn't keep up, a feeling that was building up inside her even before the battle begun. Katy and Rika supported her their own ways, pointing out her mind was seemingly everywhere at once. The Elite Four member also left her wondering about what Pokémon battles are about, and Liko found out her answer as the battle went on, recognizing that being immersed in a battle allows for a Trainer to know what their Pokémon feels and vowing to take battles as seriously as her Floragato has ever taken. In the end, Liko and Katy still lost, with the student becoming emotional and shedding bitter tears for having engaged more intimately with the battle. Later, she was approached by [[Grusha]], who briefly made a comment about her before leaving with [[Geeta]]. While she did not know who he was, she would eventually find out once the pairings for the next module of the Tera Training [[HZ057|were revealed]], as he was assigned as the Gym Leader she would have to face.

In ''[[HZ063|Ice Battle! Cold-Eyed Grusha]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived at [[Glaseado Gym]] for her Tera Training test against Grusha. After learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko was determined to receive approval from the Gym Leader. The battle, however, did not go according to her plans, as {{p|Cetitan}}'s bulk and {{p|Altaria}}'s aerial attacks, combined with a massive type disadvantage, proved to be too much for her team, leading to Liko failing her test, with Grusha not acknowledging her in spite of her loss and refusing to give her a second chance.
[[File:Liko and Amethio talking.png|250px|thumb|Liko and [[Amethio]] opening up to each other]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', the trio decided to visit {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}}, wanting to cheer Liko up. Along the way, she was unknowingly deviated from her friends by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} and ran by chance into Amethio, who seized the opportunity to take Terapagos. This time, however, Liko and Floragato put up a fight and even forced Amethio into Terastallizing Ceruledge, which made her think back to her recent loss and hesitate. The battle was interrupted by Spinel, who tested the effects of the [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]] on his {{p|Umbreon}}, causing it to enter a rampaging state that allowed it to easily triumph over Ceruledge. Angered, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and destroyed the crystal, purifying Umbreon in the process. Demanding answers as to what they just witnessed, Liko and Amethio chased after the fleeing Spinel, only to be lured into a nearby cave and be trapped inside. In the [[HZ065|following episode]], as the air grew colder, they gathered around a campfire and opened up to each other, learning about each other's goals and reflecting on the similarities of their journeys. Liko even pondered if the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers could work together to reach the end goal they shared, but Amethio quickly discarded the idea, claiming the paths they take are too different. Eventually, they managed to create an opening in the ceiling and escape, with him warning her about Spinel before parting ways. Later, Liko reunited with her friends and Friede and told them about the Treasure of Eternity. Before heading down the mountain, the children visited Paldea's Highest Peak and snapped a group [[photo]].
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko battling Roy in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', the trio returned to Naranja Academy, where the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] was announced, allowing those who failed the Tera Training to Terastallize one last time before the course officially ended. As the tournament was underway, Dot informed Liko and Roy that the Explorers had infiltrated the academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos. They split up, and Liko ended up finding and confronting Sidian at the academy's rooftop; unbeknownst to them, Grusha watched their battle from afar. In order to protect Terapagos and the school, Liko Terastallized Floragato, granting her enough power to defeat her opponent. Sidian acknowledged Liko's strength before leaving, and Grusha finally revealed himself, telling her to meet him at the principal's office, where [[Clavell]] and Geeta were also at. While Liko thought she was in trouble for Terastallizing outside of the Tera Training, they actually commended her for her actions, with the Gym Leader even changing his previous assessment to a passing grade. With one more student having passed their usage test, the tournament's battle pairings changed accordingly, with Liko and Roy [[HZ067|being set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Hattrem were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Roy's Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Liko and Roy both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Liko was challenged by Lucius's Arboliva, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Liko Terastallized Floragato and had her use an enhanced {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Liko was separated from the others and came across various scratches in the terrain, which she attributed to Kleavor. Using Hattrem's ability to sense emotions, Liko was able to ascertain that Kleavor wasn't angry and that the markings weren't meant as a warning sign. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Liko and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Liko, Roy, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Liko and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Liko, Roy, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Liko reunited with Diana, who had successfully obtained more information on Lucius. Before telling everyone what she had learned, Diana challenged her granddaughter to a battle, which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, Diana told the Rising Volt Tacklers about how Lucius founded the original Explorers alongside his comrades, [[Rystal]] and [[Gibeon]]. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede took Diana to the Crystal Pool, where they successfully used its power to summon Rystal's spirit. There, they learned that Terapagos was actually Rystal's partner Pokémon and that she and Lucius are Liko's great-great-grandparents. Rystal [[HZ075|then proceeded]] to tell everyone how she met Lucius, how the original Explorers came to be, and what happened after they made it to Laqua, which ended up with Gibeon seemingly falling to his death and Lucius being sealed inside Laqua to prevent the Laquium from threatening the world's balance. When it was time for Rystal to return to her original time, she entrusted Terapagos to Liko, stating that she was its partner now. Liko comforted Terapagos, who was sad to see its original Trainer leave. With a Poké Ball she received from Friede, Liko caught Terapagos and adopted the nickname "[[Pagogo]]" from Rystal. Afterward, Diana bid farewell to Liko and the others and went on her own travels.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Liko, Roy, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its Terastal Form, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Lucius and Liko HZ089.png|250px|thumb|Lucius entrusting his dream to Liko]]
With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Liko faced off against Sidian and was able to gain the upper hand without resorting to Terastallization even when her opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Liko encouraged Floragato to stand tall as well in order to protect their friends, which was the push necessary for her to evolve into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. For a final assault, she teamed up with Ceruledge, and managed to knock Zygarde down with her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}}. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Liko witnessed Lucius fading away and promised to keep looking after Pagogo. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Liko and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.
[[File:Liko new outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko deciding to go on a new journey with Roy]]
Liko and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Liko initially returning home. In the year following these events however, Liko couldn't stay at home in Paldea because of Spinel's actions, and she ended up returning to Indigo Academy in Kanto. Fortunately, Liko was able to have a regular life at Indigo Academy because nobody, except Ann, knew she was a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

[[HZ090|One]] [[HZ091|year]] after ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Liko reunited with Roy, who revealed that he and Dot discovered that Laquium was still affecting Pokémon worldwide, and told her that he needed her help. However, between being accustomed to Indigo Academy, Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball in the last year, and not wanting everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler, Liko refused, but apologized to Roy. Although, seeing Roy battling Ann and realizing that her three best friends were always moving ahead, Liko decided to have a battle with Roy. Liko gave it her all, but lost to Roy once again. Despite the loss, Liko with her newfound confidence decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua in order to clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', while Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]] battle two Laquium-enhanced {{P|Steelix}}, when Liko was about to be attacked by both, Pagogo finally awakened from its Poké Ball to protect her with its energy barrier, proceeding to change into its Terastal Form and purify the Laquium affecting the two Steelix, much to Liko's joy.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy met Mollie, who was working at her family's Pokémon Center. Liko then sent Meowscarada to battle a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}}, but she got badly poisoned, opting to switch for Hattrem instead. Liko Terastallized her for the first time to deal more powerful attacks, with Hattrem learning {{m|Healing Wish}} to cure Vileplume.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Liko and Roy went to an Exceed facility after their battle with Vileplume, figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. She and Roy then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Liko and Roy, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Liko and the others reunited with Murdock and Dot at the Patisserie Soapberry. Upon being told the children were reforming the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. To help relieve Murdock's worries, Katy challenged Liko to a rematch, using her {{p|Ursaring}}, Teddy, to battle Pagogo. Despite Katy using Terastallization again, Pagogo eventually emerged victorious, proving to Murdock how much Liko had grown over the past year. Liko, Roy, and Dot decided that if they wanted to prevent Strong Spheres from being released to the public, they would need the Brave Olivine as a faster means of transportation. Murdock explained that when everyone went their separate ways, [[Orla]] said she would dismantle the airship. Roy and Ult then suggested having her build a new Brave Olivine for them to fly on. With Dot joining the group, Liko and the others set off to meet with Orla in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Liko and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Liko and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Liko and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', while doing research on Laquium Signs in [[South Province (Area Three)]] with the others, Liko encountered a student named {{OBP|Pepper|HZ102}}, whose partner {{p|Scovillain}} had gone missing. Later, she came across a scared and injured group of Pokémon including a {{p|Charcadet}} she had met [[HZ057|one year earlier]]. The Pokémon were being terrorized by Pepper's Scovillain, which had been affected by Laquium and went on a rampage. After seeing Liko risk herself to protect its friends, Charcadet teamed up with Pagogo to battle and purify Scovillain, returning it to its senses. Once Scovillain and Pepper were reunited, Liko said goodbye to {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, only for it to request that she let it join her team, which Liko happily accepted.
[[File:Amethio and Liko HZ104.png|thumb|250px|Liko reunites with Amethio]]
In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Liko attended a Nidothing and Iono fan meeting in Levincia. While waiting for the event to begin, she and the others came across Zirc and Onia. Upon learning that Zirc was a fellow Nidothing fan but lost his ticket to the event, Liko agreed to help find it. Everyone tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck to a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}. Together, Liko and the others battled Wugtrio, giving Zirc's {{p|Rhydon}} the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, after the event finished, Zirc and Onia approached Liko and revealed that Amethio went missing sometime after the incident at Laqua. To Liko's surprise, Zirc and Onia personally requested that she help them locate Amethio's whereabouts.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', Liko accompanied Zirc and Onia to [[Amethio's mansion]] where she found out more about his past. With a picture of Amethio when he was younger and help from [[Cervantis]], Liko, Zirc and Onia found him on an island near Levincia. After telling Amethio everything that had happened in the past year, Liko had a battle with him when her Charcadet wanted to battle his Ceruledge, which was called off. In the end, Liko and Charcadet's determination motivated both Amethio and his Ceruledge to fight against Spinel once again, Liko and Amethio then parted ways.

In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', Liko was reunited with her grandmother Diana, who informed everyone about a possible method to have Pagogo fully eradicate the Laquium. After being informed about Spinel capturing the remaining Six Heroes, Diana noticed Liko's newly-caught Charcadet and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]] to test her skills. While Meowscarada was defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}} from Diana's Arcanine, Charcadet defeated Wash {{p|Rotom}} before falling to Arcanine shortly afterwards. Once the battle concluded, Diana discussed with the Rising Volt Tacklers about finding the location of the remaining Six Heroes at an Exceed facility, with Liko suggesting they get answers from Cervantis.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Liko received an email from Cervantis, who requested the Rising Volt Tacklers come meet him in person at an Exceed distribution center. Shortly after they arrived, Liko, Roy, and Ult found out the message was a fake sent by Spinel to lure them out. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], Indi and Rubina used Super Strong Spheres to further empower the captured Six Heroes and made them battle Liko and the others. Liko had Pagogo purify the Laquium afflicting the Six Heroes, only for it to be quickly taken out when the Explorers just used the Super Strong Spheres on the heroes a second time.

In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Liko and her friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and Cervantis, Liko and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Liko and her friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers.

In [[HZ118]], Liko and her Pokémon, except Pagogo, joined Ann and her party with Ditto Block Hunting [[Blueberry Quest]] in the [[Terarium]]. Liko previously thought Hattrem was holding herself back for the sake of Meowscarada and Charcadet, however, after Ann told Liko about her relationship with her older and younger sibling, Liko realized Hattrem wasn't holding herself back at all, but that she was doing what she wanted to do all along because it made her happy. After a heartfelt moment with Hattrem over making sandwiches, Liko confessed that she was happy she met Hattrem and apologized for not realizing Hattrem's intentions before, making her cry tears of joy and triggered her evolution into {{p|Hatterene}}. The next day, Liko and her party were having breakfast when Dot and Roy entered informing her that Briar had acquired new data on Terapagos.

In [[HZ124]], Liko and her friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Liko and Dot tried to hack through the back door but were caught by Indi and Rubina. After Amethio and his Ceruledge showed up in time, Liko battle alongside them in a tag team against Indi and Rubina. Liko and Amethio both worked well as a team, with her Charcadet eventually evolving into {{p|Armarouge}} mid-battle, defeating the Explorers' two {{p|Salamence}} with its new {{m|Armor Cannon}} move, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Liko and her friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Liko and her friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Liko used her Meowscarada and Hatterene against Lucius's Kleavor. After Hatterene got knocked out, Liko had Meowscarada use her invisible flower stems to trap Kleavor and unleashed a massive Magical Leaf, defeating the Axe Pokémon. In [[HZ127]], Liko used her Armarouge to battle against Ann's Samurott, with both trainers Terastallizing their Pokémon. After a series of attacks both Pokémon were knocked out, resulting in a draw.

===Character===
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko's social anxiety]]
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She has also been shown to be cautious about trusting others, as she quickly realized something was amiss when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and she was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without providing her with any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and help rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her intelligence, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she is told the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion.

Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan''). Although she now knows that Nidothing and Dot are the same person, Liko openly treats them both as individual people. She even goes to the point of trying to believe that Nidothing is just Nidothing and nobody is inside the costume, as seen in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'' and ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]''. She gets excited to meet others who are also Nidothing fans, such as [[Yuno]] and [[Litten Smitten]], and when she finds out that those she knows are a fan of her as well, such as [[Zirc]].

She appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes in her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. As revealed in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', Liko gets her drawing skills from her father, [[Alex]]. Liko is also good at painting, as seen in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'', when she makes a drawing of {{p|Arboliva}} with her Pokémon's help. In addition, Liko is a good observer and has been seen writing down her observations in her Rotom Phone.

Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other [[Indigo Academy]] students also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her thoughts. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, quickly befriending [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them. Liko's kindness, compassion, and her willingness to help others encourages many people around her and earns their friendship, as was seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', when she was able to get the initially reserved Dot to open up more by bringing her lunch and inviting her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. This was shown again in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', when Liko helped the often brash and awkward [[Ult]] to become more comfortable with the group, and understand the concept of working as a team. Even some former enemies have eventually been drawn in by her compassionate nature as time progressed, as seen during ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'' when Zirc and [[Onia]] asked her to help them find Amethio. In addition, Liko has shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems.

When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she has actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, and they enjoyed it. She is also able to make other food, as she made pancakes for the group in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]''. In addition, Liko has a habit of keeping her emotions to herself, which Ann pointed out in [[HZ118]]. However, Liko can be emotional, as seen in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', when she cries for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]]. Sometimes, Liko can be hard on herself when she doesn't accomplish something, which leads her to doubt herself, but quickly cheers up through the assurances and motivation from her friends.

[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and loves with them with all her heart. She has also shown to prioritize their safety, as demonstrated in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so that the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even to the point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save [[Pagogo]] from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. This was shown again in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', when she went to protect a wild {{p|Happiny}} from getting attacked by a [[Laquium]]-afflicted {{p|Scovillain}}, but both were saved by a wild {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} that she met a [[HZ057|year earlier]], as it decided to become one of her Pokémon partners after witnessing her compassion for them. She often feels happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people. Liko's appreciation for her Pokémon is shown when she at first misread {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s intentions in [[HZ118]] as she first thought she was holding herself back for the sake of the rest of her party and not doing what she wanted to do, but she soon realizes that wasn't the case at all and that Hattrem was doing what she wanted to do; helping other Pokémon as she had since she was a Hatenna, making Liko apologize for not realizing it sooner and thanking Hattrem, being grateful that she met her.

Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. However, throughout her journey, Liko becomes more confident in herself, showing more of her courageous side and less of her fearful side. Liko also developed a never-giving-up attitude, having took to heart Amethio's words of letting a setback stop her from achieving her goals in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', and even repeated them to Amethio himself in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'' when his own confidence was brought low by the last year's events.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult]]
Liko has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{p|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. She also has a stubborn streak, which her grandmother described to her Sprigatito in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her identity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.

Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is. In addition, Liko has come to enjoy battling and wants to become stronger in order to protect those she cares about. Liko's true strength shines through when she is fighting for others, especially for her friends and family, which [[Grusha]] points out in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]''.
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Ann]]
Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Ever since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Although, Liko seemed to have picked up Friede's tendency to forget to give important details, as seen in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]''. In addition to Friede, Liko has a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as they are her best friends and mostly hangs out with them. Liko also has a close friendship with Ann, even keeping in touch with her whenever she could, especially before or after class at Indigo Academy. Although, Liko tries to protect Ann and doesn't want her dear friend to get hurt, but eventually accepted her decision of wanting to help her, as shown in [[HZ127]].
[[File:Amethio and Liko.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Amethio]]
At first, Liko saw Amethio as her enemy due to being a member of the Explorers and his attempts to kidnap her. However, during the events in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Liko starts to see Amethio differently when he saved her from getting hurt during a battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Liko further sees Amethio differently in ''[[HZ067|Liko and Amethio]]'' when they opened up to each other, which led her to bonding with him. Ever since, Liko trusts Amethio and comes to care about him, even helping Onia and Zirc find him when they informed her about his disappearances after the events in Laqua. Upon being informed of the [[HZ075|Explorers origins]], Liko quickly accepted her great-great grandparents [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]]'s history with Amethio's grandfather [[Gibeon]]. Liko and Amethio have also shown to work well together in battle, as seen in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'' and [[HZ124]].

[[HZ089|Upon losing Friede]], Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball, and the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], Liko's confidence took a hit and she hid her affiliation from her classmates, with Ann being the only one who knew. Despite her own talent, she also lets Ann become the ace of Indigo Academy, contributing to her feelings of renewed stagnation over the year. In addition, Liko has avoided everything associated with the Rising Volt Tacklers to hide the pain of what she went through, even going to the point of not staying in contact with Roy and Dot or watching her Nidothing videos. However, upon reuniting with Roy and realizing that her best friends are always moving forward with their Pokémon partners, Liko becomes inspired to do the same, as she cuts loose in her battle against Roy in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and reveals to her classmates that she is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. With a newfound resolve to move forward for herself, Liko is now determined to reclaim her agency and clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name, while returning to traveling with both her best friends and Pokémon, in hopes of one day being able to soar the skies on the Brave Olivine with her friends once more. Her wish soon starts coming true not just when the Rising Volt Tacklers are officially re-formed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' with the addition of a new friend and teammate in Ult, but also with the discovery that Friede is still alive but in hiding. Liko also works with Roy, Dot, and Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absences. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Liko comes to [[HZ122|accept]] in being a founding member of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that her best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of her teammates are there to assist her in her time of need.

Although she still compassionate, Liko has become much serious in dealing with situations, especially in dealing with the Explorers, and less afraid of what people think of her. Liko is even more adventurous than she was when she first started out as a Trainer. During her training at [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko learns to get the facts before jumping to conclusions and open up in expressing her emotions.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|350px|Liko's current [[party]]]]
Liko's team mostly consist of Pokémon who are, in some way, related to strong emotions, tying it to her goal of learning more about the feelings of Pokémon. As Liko matured as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, so did her ability to recognize and deal with the emotional necessities of her Pokémon, which can be most clearly seen in her history with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Her team has also shown to have a strong bond with each other, as they look out for one another. In addition, Meowscarada has occasionally been seen carrying {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}} during her first two [[evolution]]ary stages, and [[Pagogo]], while {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}}, as a Charcadet, has shown a tendency to ride Pagogo. Her Pokémon all have Liko's compassion, loyalty, and reckless nature, as they would do anything to protect anyone in danger, especially their Trainer and each other.

Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Meowscarada and Pagogo are Liko's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, while Hatterene and Armarouge are the secondary battlers. Additionally, Hatterene can be seen as the healer, healing any Pokémon, even her own teammates, when they are injured and Pagogo can be seen as a protector, considering its ability to put up shields and purify [[Laquium]].

In battle, she shows great capability of using her Pokémon's unique traits, such as Meowscarada's invisible stem to confuse her opponents then tying them up and Hatterene's, while she was a Hattrem, psychic power to help detect enemies, as shown in ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', when she used her to guide Meowscarada around {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}'s attack. She also makes consistent use of her Armarouge's {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]] by letting it absorb fire attacks to strengthen itself while also protecting Meowscarada showcasing her talent in battle tactics as a Trainer. Furthermore, she is smart enough to counter her opponents strategy, demonstrated when she used her Armarouge's {{m|Clear Smog}} to eliminate the power up [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Salamence}} had with {{m|Dragon Dance}}.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
* Liko was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name="anipoke20230303">[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name="LikoRoyConcept">[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Liko's first hairpin bears resemblance to a stylized “L” in addition to the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] logo featured on [[Ash's hat]] in the {{aniseries|OS}}.

The second hairpin also looks similar to the logo on the first [[I Choose You! trilogy|''I Choose You!'' trilogy]] hat.
* Liko is the first female main character to:
** Be completely original to the animated series and not be based on any character from the games.
** Have obtained her first Pokémon outside her home region.

** Have obtained a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon and use an [[Evolution item]] since {{an|Misty}}.
** Have defeated a [[Gym Leader]] in a non-[[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]].
** Own a Fire-type that isn't a first partner Pokémon.

* All of Liko's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} in [[Galar]], [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] in [[Kitakami]], and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} in [[Paldea]].
* Liko's first main attire bears a resemblance to {{p|Oshawott}}, with her belt bag resembling Oshawott's [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]].
* Liko's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230414, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' and ''[[HZ002|(Part Two)]]'', the first two episodes of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.
* Liko is the only younger [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member that:
** Has a Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation VIII]].
** Doesn't own a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Hasn't caught a Pokémon she can use for transportation.
* Liko is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** A Grass-type Pokémon in her party.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Pikachu evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Pikachu has sixteen alternate [[#Form data|forms]] that fall into four groups: '''[[Cosplay Pikachu]]''', '''[[Pikachu in a cap]]''', the '''{{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu''', and '''Gigantamax Pikachu'''. Ordinary Pikachu can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Pikachu if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. An additional form of Pikachu, called '''Pale''', appears exclusively in [[Pokémon Pokopia]] (as a character named [[Peakychu]]). Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

Cosplay Pikachu, Pikachu in a cap, the partner Pikachu, and Pikachu with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve. The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{g|Yellow Version}} will refuse to evolve into Raichu unless it is [[trade]]d and evolved on another save file.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and one of [[Nintendo]]'s major mascots. It is also the [[game mascot]] and the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon: Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition]] and {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, as well as in {{g|Rumble Blast}} and {{g|Rumble World}}, and has made numerous appearances on the covers of spin-off games.

==Biology==
[[File:HOME0845Go.png|thumb|left|200px|A Pikachu who has been accidentally partially {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by a {{p|Cramorant}}]]
Pikachu is a short, chubby {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. A [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|female]] Pikachu has a "V"-shaped notch at the end of its tail, which looks like the top of a heart. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs; therefore, Pikachu is a facultative biped.

Pikachu stores electric energy using the small pouches in its cheeks in case it is attacked, so one might feel a small shock if it is touched. These pouches become electrically charged during the night as it sleeps, so a dozy Pikachu may occasionally discharge electricity after waking up. If it does not get enough sleep, it will not be able to release said electricity at its full power. When angered or threatened, Pikachu quickly unleashes the electric energy from its cheeks, which can reach the intensity of a lightning bolt. This also serves as a sign that it's wary, and it will feel stressed if it's unable to fully release the electricity. In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Pikachu is shown to accumulate energy in its glands, which it will need to eject to avoid complications. When several Pikachu form a group, they are capable of causing thunder storms by building up electricity. If one Pikachu sees another one who is weakened and in need of help, it revitalizes it by recharging it with an electric shock. However, as seen with [[Peakychu]], overusing this ability alters its physical structure, causing it to lose its ability to generate electricity and its fur to become pale, though it can still manipulate electricity from external sources. In [[Alola]], a plan was recently announced to help build an electric power plant by gathering many Pikachu. If its cheek sacs are very soft and stretchy, this means that it can generate powerful electricity. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Pikachu is known to emit electricity through its cheeks while sleeping, perhaps because it's dreaming of firing electric shots.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Pikachu is a curious, playful, and intelligent Pokémon who primarily eats fruits and roasts {{Berries}} with its electricity to make them tender enough to eat. However, it can end up accidentally burning them too much if it underestimates the intensity of its charge, as it has a tendency to blast new things it finds. In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], it is also depicted eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment. Pikachu raises its tail to monitor its surroundings and bites [[Human|people]] who yank it, as it does not like having it pulled. While doing this, its tail is sometimes struck by lightning. {{pkmn2|Wild}} Pikachu live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forested areas}} away from people and with others of its kind in nests, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Such forests are dangerous, though, as trees there are often struck by lightning. When Pikachu meet, their tails make contact and they exchange electricity through them to greet each other. Relatedly, in ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', it is shown that Pikachu from Alola are known to greet each other by sniffing one another and rubbing their tails together. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it is considered exceptionally rare, though it seems to be a quite common Pokémon in other forms of media. Many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s prefer Pikachu's cute appearance over {{p|Raichu}}'s, which is why the latter is not commonly seen among them. Because of the popularity of Pikachu-themed merchandise, {{p|Mimikyu}} dresses itself in a Pikachu cloth in an effort to look less scary and make friends and appease its loneliness.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Mimikyu | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160917171041/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ archived])</ref> Unfortunately, its creepy costume only ends up doing the opposite. By occasion, Pikachu can get unintentionally {{a|Gulp Missile|swallowed}} by {{p|Cramorant}}. While startled, it looks for ways to escape from the latter. Pikachu, along with {{p|Pichu}} and Raichu, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pikachu and its [[evolution]]ary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}. It is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Catastropika}}, as well as the only one who can use the [[Light Ball]] [[item]].

===Forms===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. Additionally, many other [[Pikachu variants]] have appeared in various media.

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is always [[Gender|female]], has a black heart-shaped spot at the end of its tail, and can be dressed in any of five outfits corresponding to the five [[Contest conditions]]: [[Cool]], [[Beautiful]], [[Cute]], [[Clever]], and [[Tough]].

</div>

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] is always male and has eight variants, each wearing one of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{AP|hat}}s from {{aniseries|PTS}}. This form of Pikachu is somewhat rare and wears the hat of its partner, who is its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The cap is a bit loose because it is not the right size, but brims with memories of Pikachu and its Trainer's first encounter and is proof that they have traveled through many [[region]]s together.

Pikachu in a cap is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, but cannot use {{m|Catastropika}} or [[Gigantamax]].

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu is the Pokémon the player starts with in {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!}}. It can be either gender and has higher [[base stat]]s than normal Pikachu. The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s [[Pokédex]], and it cannot be [[transfer]]red to other games.

The partner Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the moves {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Floaty Fall}}, and {{m|Splishy Splash}}, as well as the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)#Exclusive moves|Partner Power]] {{m|Pika Papow}}.

{{-}}

====Gigantamax Pikachu====
As [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu, it becomes larger and chubbier, and its tail becomes longer with three red clouds floating around it.

The Gigantamax phenomenon expands Pikachu's power and forms its massive body and tail. As a result, the might of Gigantamax Pikachu's electricity is equal to that of a power plant; despite this, it is difficult to use to power peoples' homes since it can only remain in this form for a short amount of time. All the electricity it produces in its cheek sacs goes to its tail, enabling it to attack foes in {{pkmn|battle}}s with electric jolts as powerful as lightning strikes.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-pikachu/ Gigantamax Pikachu | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Pikachu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Volt Crash}}.

|}

====Pale Pikachu====
A particular Pikachu, named [[Peakychu]], has a unique spin-off form called Pale.

This unique Pikachu is named for its distinct grey-white color. Its heart-shaped tail is notably smaller than that of a regular Pikachu. The red electrical sacs are a light red, while the black tips of its tail are light grey. Its ears are constantly drooping, giving it a sad appearance. Additionally, Pale Pikachu's eyes are slightly larger than those of a typical Pikachu. Notably, Pale Pikachu's body can emit a peculiar glow.<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/discover/ Official English website for Pokopia]</ref>

This Pikachu's unusual coloration resulted from sharing its own electricity with sick friends. As a consequence, its physical structure changed, and Pale Pikachu became unable to generate its own electricity. However, it can still manipulate electricity if it receives enough charge from an external source. With sufficient electricity, Pale Pikachu can illuminate its surroundings.

===Evolution===
Pikachu [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} and evolves into {{p|Raichu}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu.

[[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Partner Pikachu}}, and Pikachu with the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} cannot evolve.

[[File:Winds Waves Ms. Wavychu.png|thumb|200px|Ms. Wavychu]]
===As the player===
{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There, he goes on a quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark, which is being threatened by the ever-expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark, he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save it from danger.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
* [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]]: [[Mr. Windychu]] and [[Ms. Wavychu]] are characters in [[Pokémon Winds and Waves]]. They resemble tanned Pikachu with clothes similar to the [[player character]]s.
* These notable [[Pokémon Trainer]]s all use Pikachu:
** [[Lt. Surge]] uses a Pikachu in {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
** {{ga|Red}}, who makes NPC appearances in [[Generation II]], {{pkmn|HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, White 2}}, and [[Generation VII]], owns a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, typically as his highest [[level]]ed Pokémon. Usually, he represents the {{player}} from the [[Kanto]]-based games, particularly {{game|Yellow}} in which his [[first partner Pokémon]] was a Pikachu. Starting in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pikachu will always be holding a [[Light Ball]] when applicable.
** [[Wattson]] uses a Pikachu exclusively in his second rematch in {{game|Emerald}}. In subsequent {{pkmn|battle}}s, it has [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Raichu}}.
** [[Trevor]] uses his Pikachu during the main story of {{g|X and Y}}. In his second battle against the player, it has evolved into a Raichu.
** [[Hau]]'s main partner in {{game4|7}} is a Pikachu who eventually evolves into an {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu. It is first seen as a {{p|Pichu}}.
** {{ga|Trace}}'s main partner in {{LGPE|Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!}} is a Pikachu which later evolves into a Raichu.
** The player's [[friend]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, either {{ga|Rei}} or {{ga|Akari}} (depending on the player's [[gender]]), has a Pikachu. It is seen as their main partner and will often appear outside its {{hi|Poké Ball}}.
** The {{tc|Poké Kid}} {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} is known to use Pikachu. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, only male Poké Kids will use Pikachu as a parallel to the female Poké Kids, who use {{p|Eevee}}.
** [[Zach]] uses a Pikachu in all of his battles against the player in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
** [[Ikue Ohtani]], the voice of Pikachu, makes cameo appearances in Pokémon Gold, Silver, HeartGold and SoulSilver (all as [[Picknicker]] Brooke), in X and Y (as [[Breeder]] Mercy), and in all [[Generation VII]] games, where she owns a Pikachu. In {{LGPE}}, Ikue is the [[Master Trainer]] for Pikachu.
* Pikachu has appeared in the overworld in many titles as interactable NPCs.
* Several images of Pikachu show up in {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Mimikyu}}'s chamber, notably [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Pop Star]].

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to Red) who was recently taught how to interact with wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day, Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if it is [[transfer]]red from another game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball, but is sometimes helped by Pichu. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, this game focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.
* [[Pokémon Pokopia]]: A Pikachu named [[Peakychu]] is a supporting character in the game. Due to using up large amounts of her own electricity to aid her friends, she has become abnormally pale and can no longer generate electricity without outside assistance.

===Form data===
Pikachu has sixteen additional forms that fall into four groups: [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu, and [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu. All forms except the partner Pikachu are recognized by an in-game [[Pokédex]]; partner Pikachu has only been named in promotional materials.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ Experience the World of Pokémon | Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref>

====Cosplay Pikachu====
[[Cosplay Pikachu]] is the base form of a group of six interchangeable forms exclusive to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pikachu who has a black, heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail, obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. Cosplay Pikachu can change forms by dressing up in different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[contest condition]]s ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}); each form also automatically learns a [[move]] that Pikachu otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Unlike other Pikachu, Cosplay Pikachu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into {{g|Bank}}, and it does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]], despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

====Pikachu in a cap====
[[Pikachu in a cap]] are eight {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, non-interchangeable forms of Pikachu that debuted in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]], and they cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry|cries]] differ from that of regular Pikachu. They are not present in {{LGPE}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Six variants exist in Pokémon Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|SM}}. A seventh variant debuted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from {{aniseries|JN}}.

The original six Pikachu in a cap were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the 20th [[Pokémon movie]], and by extension, the 20th anniversary of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in a cap (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the TV show's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]].

====Partner Pikachu====
The {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Pikachu has a separate [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation VII|internal index]] from standard Pikachu. This allows it to have higher [[base stats]] than wild Pikachu.

The partner Pikachu is not differentiated from standard Pikachu in {{LGPE}}'s [[Pokédex]], and it cannot be [[transfer]]red to other games.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Pikachu]]=====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he obtained from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, which also marked the species' debut. He was the main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} character of the animated series from the [[original series]] to {{aniseries|JN}} and appeared in almost every non-special episode and every [[Pokémon movie]] released throughout that point. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', he was revealed to be capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing. He always [[Walking Pokémon|remains outside]] of his {{i|Poké Ball}}.

=====[[Pikachutwo]]=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} cloned Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be distinguished from Ash's due to the spikes in the black marks found on the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process. It reappeared in the sequel special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' and the remake movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.

=====[[Puka]]=====
A Pikachu [[nickname]]d Puka was owned by {{OBP|Victor|EP067}} on {{an|Seafoam Island}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

=====[[Sparky]]=====
[[Ritchie]] has a Pikachu nicknamed Sparky, who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head, and, unlike Ash's Pikachu, has no problem with living inside a Poké Ball.

=====[[Ashachu]]=====
Ash was [[Human–Pokémon transformation|turned into a Pikachu]] in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{OBP|Lily|EP241}}. He reverted to his human self at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

=====[[Cosplay Pikachu]]=====
All of the Cosplay Pikachu appeared in ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'', under the ownership of [[Frank]]. They reappeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were all summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} as part of a prank on Ash and his Pikachu.

=====[[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]]=====
In the ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' [[I Choose You! trilogy|alternate continuity]], {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}} has a Pikachu who is his first Pokémon and his main partner, almost always remaining outside of his Poké Ball.

=====[[Goh's Pikachu]]=====
[[Goh]] {{pkmn2|caught}} a Pikachu in [[JN035|''Gotta Catch a'' What?!]]. She, along with a few others of her kind, later evolved into Raichu during the episode.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.jpg|200px|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:GBML Bronze Pikachu Coin.png|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} cards featuring it. There are also various {{pkmn|Trainer}} cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, sometimes contained first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}}, where it is given by {{TCG GB|Isaac}} to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==Trivia==
* Pikachu and its evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has said Pikachu is her favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. [[Sarah Natochenny]] has as well, shared with {{p|Mew}}.
* In [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Pikachu is capable of learning {{m|Surf}} via [[TM]], when it was previously only obtainable through special means.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that serves as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] games that has a pre-evolved form. However, {{p|Pichu}} (its pre-evolved form) does not exist in either game in which it fills this role.
* Pikachu has the most {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[move]]s available to it.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon with two exclusive [[Z-Move]]s.
* Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon with exclusive Z-Moves.
* The Pikachu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to [[Mega Evolution]], exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].
* When starting a [[new game]] in {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's front sprite appears with a slightly different [[List of color palettes by index number in Generation I|color palette]] (the palette index number 0x10) than usual when it is introduced by [[Professor Oak]]. This is the same red/yellow palette used for {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Jynx}} (except the [[Virtual Console]] Jynx), as well as the {{pkmn|battle}} sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s.
** Due to the color palette used at the start of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has red cheeks (in the [[Game Boy Color]]) or pink cheeks (in the [[Super Game Boy]]). However, in this game's normal gameplay, Pikachu has dark orange cheeks instead.
* In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pikachu uses its {{pkmn|animated series}} [[cry]] ([[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]). Before Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it was the only Pokémon to do so in the core series games.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, only the [[First partner Pokémon|first partner]] Pikachu uses the animated series cry (technically, this applies to all Pikachu [[Original Trainer|originally received or caught]] by the player, but catching additional Pikachu is impossible without cheating) with [[Outsider Pokémon|outsider]] or NPC Pikachu using their original cries. In other games however all specimens of the species use the animated series cry.
** Its battle cry differs from status or [[Pokédex]] screens.
** The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has unique [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voice clips]] in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.
** From {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onward, Pikachu's cry switched to a slightly modified version of its pre-Gen VI cry.
* Pikachu is the only core series first partner Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 gender ratio.
* {{game4|BWB2W2}} are the only core series games in which Pikachu cannot be obtained without transporting or through an event.
* Pikachu is the only not fully evolved Pokémon whose [[base stats]] increased in Generation VI, as well as the only Pokémon to receive more than one stat increase: Defense and Special Defense.
* Pikachu is the 25th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Pikachu is the only usable Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]].
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon present in {{g|Champions}} that is not fully evolved.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can be caught in all three pinball titles: {{g|Pinball}}, {{g|Pinball mini}}, and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* According to ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'', Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* Pikachu is currently represented in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} by more cards than any other Pokémon, with {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} unique cards.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|200px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]

===Concept and development===
Pikachu was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]], a core designer at [[Game Freak]].<ref>[http://www.natsume.com/news/news_pdffiles/pid_129_HSBigNames0806.pdf THE TALENT BEHIND HOMETOWN STORY | Natsume]</ref><ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu had a short, stout design during the initial release of {{g|Red and Green}}, but its design was altered for ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and subsequent entries of the games, becoming slightly taller and skinnier. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Pikachu's design was altered to make animating its actions easier.<ref name=Pokemon.com /> Pikachu is depicted with a white belly similar to its evolved form, {{p|Raichu}}, in the [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]], {{file|Bandai Pikachu card.jpg|as seen here}}.

Pikachu also originally had a second-stage [[Evolution]] named [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]] (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ ピカチュウは大福？　初めて明かされる誕生秘話 (Is Pikachu Daifuku?

[[Gigantamax]] Pikachu was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559091292889497602</ref>

===Origin===
Pikachu was originally a {{wp|daifuku}}-like creature with ears sticking out. Its black ear tips are remnants of this original concept.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra/>

Nishida named Pikachu "without giving it much thought", and while it wasn't originally intended to be based on a {{wp|mouse}}, [[Game Freak]] CEO [[Satoshi Tajiri]] made the decision to base it on such. During the process of making Pikachu "cuter", as per the instructions of game designer [[Kōji Nishino]], Nishida added cheek pouches for it to store electricity in. These were inspired by {{wp|squirrel}}s, which store food in their cheeks. Pikachu's yellow coloration and lightning bolt-shaped tail were given to express Pikachu's electrical attributes and make its type easier to recognise and understand. According to Nishida, Pikachu's stripes aren't based on anything in particular, and were added to fill the empty space on Pikachu's back, as it is always visible during battle.<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref name=SiliconEra />

Pikachu's [[Gigantamax]] form is a reference to its earlier, more rotund design from [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}.<ref name=Chunkachu>https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1559317105798811648.</ref>

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' ({{wp|onomatopoeia}} for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of a mouse squeaking).<ref name=Pokemon.com /><ref>[http://edition.cnn.com/ASIANOW/time/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview2.html The Ultimate Game Freak | Time]</ref>

The '''Brave Olivine''' (Japanese: '''ブレイブアサギ号''' ''Brave Asagi'') is the base of operations of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], acting as both the group's airship and living quarters.

==History==
===Pre-series===
[[File:Brave Olivine ship.png|thumb|250px|The Olivine before being converted]]
Several years prior, the Brave Olivine was originally a fishing boat owned by [[Ludlow]] named the '''Olivine''' (Japanese: '''アサギ号''' ''Asagi''). When forming the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], [[Friede]] requested to be given ownership of the boat, which Ludlow accepted. Friede had [[Orla]] convert the Olivine into an airship and later renamed the vessel into the Brave Olivine. During their adventures, various Pokémon from different [[region]]s made the Brave Olivine their home, including a wild {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
The airship debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' when it was seen flying over [[Indigo Academy]] in the distance. It was first seen from up close in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' when Friede took [[Liko]] and her Pokémon partner {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to the airship to keep them safe from the [[Explorers]]. Once there, the airship headed towards a storm to avoid the Explorers, although the strategy failed and they managed to board the airship regardless. During a battle between Friede's [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], Liko's Sprigatito was taken by the Explorers, as well as the group's flag having flown away due to the storm. In [[HZ003|the next episode]], the airship landed at a port town to allow them to locate the Explorers. While the majority of the group was away, [[Zirc]] managed to place a tracker on the ship. Once Sprigatito was rescued, the ship departed from the town. Elsewhere, a boy named [[Roy]] found the missing flag and kept it for himself.

[[File:Brave Olivine damaged.png|thumb|left|250px|The Brave Olivine damaged along [[East Province (Area Two)]]'s shores]]
In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', the airship was shown to have suffered several ruptures, causing it to leak gas and lose altitude. As such, the group was forced to stop at [[Roy's hometown|an island]] off [[Kanto]]'s shore. Once there, Roy and Liko met after Fuecoco went missing, whom Roy found in the island. [[HZ005|That night]], Roy sneaked aboard the airship to try and find Fuecoco, but was caught by the group. Despite Roy's clandestine arrival, the group opted to remain on the island longer as the airship still hadn't been repaired. Later that day, the airship briefly took flight before the group was attacked by the Explorers once again. During the battle, Orla had the island's {{type|Bug}} [[wild Pokémon]] help repair the airship's balloon gasbag to allow it to regain flight. In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy returned the flag to the group and hoisted it.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the airship was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers to the [[Paldea]] region until they decided to head for the [[Galar]] region in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]''.

[[File:Levincia docks.png|thumb|250px|The Brave Olivine docked in [[Levincia]]]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', the airship took a rest stop and needed an inspection in order to fly safely. However, [[Spinel]]'s sabotage prevented their systems from rebooting while the Rising Volt Tacklers were having a [[picnic]]. Fortunately, they were able to figure out the problem and set off for the Galar region in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', arriving there in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'' until they decided to return to Paldea in ''[[HZ034|Respective Departures]]''. The group welcomed two new Pokémon in ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'' and one in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Friede had the airship sail on the ocean while searching for [[Lucius's Lapras]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers eventually found Lapras, only to learn it was leading a gang of Pokémon pirates. Ludlow used his boat piloting skills to keep the pirates from fleeing, but was stopped when Lapras froze the airship in place with {{m|Ice Beam}}. The ice was later melted by [[Diana]]'s {{p|Arcanine}}.
[[File:Brave Olivine Emergency Button.png|left|250px|thumb|The Brave Olivine's emergency button]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the airship was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers back to Paldea. In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', [[Murdock]] piloted the airship to the {{DL|East Province (Area Two)|Levincia Lighthouse}}, where the Explorers were battling the [[Black Rayquaza]] so that [[Dot]] could disable the machine that was affecting Rayquaza. In a fit of rage, [[Coral]] commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}} on Rayquaza, sending it reeling back into the Brave Olivine, severely damaging the airship. The airship made a successful emergency landing on water in [[HZ045|the next episode]], leaving every person and Pokémon aboard unharmed, though the ship itself was in no shape to fly more for the time being. In ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]'', the ship was shown to be docked in [[Levincia]], being repaired by Orla. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Orla revealed to Friede that the repairs were halfway done and that she was considering giving the airship an upgrade of some kind.

In ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'', the Brave Olivine was shown to have been fully repaired and taken flight once more as it picked up the junior members of the Rising Volt Tacklers from [[Naranja Academy]] following the conclusion of their [[Tera Training]] course. During the presentation of the ship's new features, Friede showed off a new button only meant to be used in emergencies. Also, in the same episode, the Brave Olivine gets the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Kitakami]] until they decided to meet with their former teammate [[Wy-Yes]] in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', as they meet up with him at a [[HZ076|savanna]].

In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Brave Olivine gets the Rising Volt Tacklers to the [[Johto]] region until they decided to return to Paldea in the [[HZ078|next episode]]. The Brave Olivine was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers back to Paldea in the [[HZ079|following episode]] until ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]'' when they follow the Black Rayquaza to [[Laqua]].

[[File:Brave Olivine Infinite Rising.png|thumb|250px|The Brave Olivine in its Infinite Rising mode]]
In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', the Black Rayquaza led the Rising Volt Tacklers to [[Mount Pericarp]], where Laqua was located. As Laqua itself was at too high an elevation for the Brave Olivine to fly, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede had to travel there on foot.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', when Laqua started collapsing due to Spinel's actions, the other Rising Volt Tacklers came to Liko and the others' rescue. Orla pressed the emergency button, transforming the Brave Olivine into the '''Brave Olivine: Infinite Rising''' (Japanese: '''ブレイブアサギ号　インフィニットライジング''' ''Brave Asagi: Infinite Rising''). Liko and the others managed to board the ship, but the speed at which it was flying sent Friede, Charizard, and Captain Pikachu overboard. Friede held on long enough to get Captain Pikachu to safety, but his grip eventually loosened, causing him and Charizard to be sent flying away from the ship while the others could only watch in horror.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', as the new Rising Volt Tacklers looked for their former teammates, they met with Murdock at Cortondo, where he revealed that after the events in Laqua, the ship was dismantled. However, in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', it was revealed that the ship was left intact in a forest, with Orla still maintaining the ship from time to time. It was also revealed that the ship was being used as a den for the wild Pokémon that had originally lived there.

[[File:Brave Olivine Rising Again.png|thumb|left|250px|The Brave Olivine in its Rising Again mode]]
In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', the Brave Olivine was cleaned up and repaired by Orla and the younger members. After Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned, [[Ult]] joined the group, and finding out that Friede was still alive but in hiding from the Explorers, the Brave Olvine took flight once again.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', the Brave Olivine was able to get the Rising Volt Tacklers back to Paldea until they decided to go to the [[Unova]] region in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', arriving there in [[HZ115]] until they left in [[HZ120]].

In [[HZ121]], the Brave Olivine was able to help the Rising Volt Tacklers get Friede back onto the ship safety after returning from space and his ship ran into trouble.

In [[HZ126]], after returning to Paldea, the Brave Olivine was kept hidden at a dockyard in Levincia to keep the general public from seeing it. Orla promised Liko and the others she would upgrade the Infinite Rising mode so that the airship could safely ascend Mount Pericarp once they returned to fully purify the Laquium Core. The upgraded mode, dubbed by Friede as (Japanese: '''ブレイブアサギ号　ライジングアゲイン''' ''Brave Asagi: Rising Again''), was finished in [[HZ131]] as the Rising Volt Tacklers, with returning member Wy-Yes and their allies, {{an|Nemona}}, [[Penny]], [[Ann]], [[Perrin]], and [[Master Mayonnaise]], headed for the Galar region to pick up Diana and her {{p|Pecharunt}}. After picking up Diana and dropping off Master Mayonnaise in [[HZ132|the following episode]], the airship took off once more and headed to Laqua.

'''Friede''' (Japanese: '''フリード''' ''Friede''<ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_pr/status/1717103709245821142 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on October 25, 2023.</ref>) is a [[Pokémon Professor]], one of the founders and the former leader of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] who appears in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede prior to forming the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the barrier around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to track down Sprigatito. After they found her, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence, which resulted in a [[Black Rayquaza]] being released from the Poké Ball and quickly forcing the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede, Liko, Roy, and [[Ludlow]] went to an island to check out a suspicious watchtower, after they [[HZ043|had just learned]] the Explorers were planning to summon and capture the Black Rayquaza. Friede went in first, only to realize it was a trap set by Spinel in order to keep him at bay while the plan rolled out somewhere else. Due to the small space, he sent out Captain Pikachu against his opponent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite initially struggling due to Umbreon's {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} countering Pikachu's physical attacks, they managed to escape after craftily forming a plan to use said moves in their favor. Friede arrived at the correct place in the [[HZ045|following episode]], only to witness as Rayquaza was sent crashing into the Brave Olivine after a Self-Destruct from Coral's Glalie. Once the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza. Amethio soon joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
While Liko, Roy, and Dot were undergoing [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] course, Friede followed a hunch back to his old workplace, [[Exceed]]. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he asked the company's director and his former boss, [[Cervantis]], about the "Treasure of Eternity", suspecting a connection to Terapagos, but the man was unable to give him satisfying answers. Upon reuniting with his old colleague [[Yanga]] and discovering that his access to the database had been blocked as he tried to look for the Treasure of Eternity, Friede decided to check on the vault where the mineral was being kept. He managed to barely sneak in, only to find an empty vault labeled "[[Laquium]]", and quickly made his escape. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Friede learned from Liko's first-hand experience about the actual power of Laquium and relayed the little information he had to the children.

Before leaving Naranja Academy, following the conclusion of their Tera Training, the children had been informed by [[Raifort]] about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. They arrived in Kitakami in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'' and participated in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]] while gathering information. While there, [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}} caught Friede's attention, which led to her constantly challenging him through the night, including to a battle, which ended in Friede's victory. Later, Carmine told the Rising Volt Tacklers that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Over the next days, Friede accompanied Liko, Roy, and Dot as they travelled to the Crystal Pool in ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', met Briar in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', searched around [[Tengu Mountain]] for [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'' and ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', and learned about the original Explorers through Diana and [[Rystal]] in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'' and ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of this World!]]''.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], Friede and the young Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a wild Pokémon unrelated to the Six Heroes. Their continued search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in [[Area Zero]]. While Friede was easily granted permission to enter, the children had to prove themselves in battle against [[Geeta]] first. Then, they searched around Area Zero for Entei until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Much like in the battle against Entei, Friede teamed up with Liko, Roy, and Dot to face off against Gouging Fire and, in the [[HZ082|following episode]], the Black Rayquaza.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Friede and the young members finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel, whose tricky strategy of swapping {{Abilities}} managed to throw off him for a while before he outsmarted him with pure intuition. Despite his victory, Captain Pikachu and Charizard were left exhausted, which allowed for the Laquium mist to affect them in [[HZ087|following episode]], forcing Friede to recall them and only watch from the sidelines as Liko, Roy, and Dot, later joined by Amethio, fought against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]].
[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon faded away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Urged to flee by Rayquaza, Friede aided the children in escaping, but they got caught in a heavy gust of wind as they attempted to board the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown.

The Rising Volt Tacklers searched for Friede before the area around Laqua got closed off by the Explorers, but did not manage to find him. His fate after this incident was only revealed in [[HZ122]], after he and his crew reunited, a year later. According to him, Charizard managed to save him from the fall, and, while in the air, he came to the realization that Laqua resembled the crater of a meteor crash. Friede collected some samples from the soil and then traveled all the way to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Devon Corporation]] to meet with {{an|Steven Stone}} and confirm his suspicions. Following this, he headed to [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] in order to go to space and learn about the extraterrestrial origin of Laquium first-hand. During his training period, he befriended and caught a {{p|Starmie}}, which he nicknamed "Instructor Starmie", obtained a [[Mega Ring]], and became a user of [[Mega Evolution]] with Charizard and Starmie. Before he left the planet, Friede sent a message to the Rising Volt Tacklers' app, but since the group was disbanded, the message wasn't found until ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', a month after it was sent, confirming to them that he and Charizard had managed to survive the fall, but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited]]
In [[HZ121]], Friede suddenly contacted the Rising Volt Tacklers, informing he was on his way back from space. His returning trip, however, did not go according to plan, with the returning module going off-trajectory and the built-in parachutes failing to work. The Rising Volt Tacklers at the Brave Olivine acted quickly, predicting the exact location of his fall and slowing the module down with [[move]]s from all Pokémon, but this inadvertently pushed it away from the airship. At this moment, Captain Pikachu rushed in and, due to Pagogo's [[Terastal energy]], Terastallized into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], allowing him to catch the module and bring it back. Friede reunited with Captain Pikachu and his friends. He also introduces Instructor Starmie to everyone.

In [[HZ122]], Friede learned about the Rising Volt Tacklers' temporary disbandment, met [[Ult]] for the first time, and got caught up in the new developments regarding Laquium and Pagogo. Then, Friede challenged Roy to a battle in order to test his resolve as the new founder of the Rising Volt Tacklers, claiming that, if Roy lost, the group would be disbanded. After both sides Terastallized, [[Roy's Skeledirge]] managed to win over his Charizard, which officially made Roy the leader of Rising Volt Tacklers. As night fell, Friede told his teammates he needed to travel to Hoenn, in order to pass by Mossdeep Space Center and have Devon Corporation analyze the data he gathered while in space, and gave Roy a briefcase containing something that would be useful to Rayquaza, before leaving on the back of his Mega Charizard Y. In [[HZ129]], it's revealed that the briefcase contains a [[meteorite]] from space for Rayquaza to eat.

In [[HZ130]], Friede contacted the team after leaving Devon Corporation once more, informing them that he was finished with his research and would be ready to reunite with them after one more errand. In [[HZ131|the next episode]], Friede showed and entrusted his Laquium research to Yanga before encountering [[Master Mayonnaise]], who had started following him out of fascination towards his Mega Starmie. After finding out they're both acquaintances of Roy, they went to meet with the team together. After observing a battle between Roy and Master Mayonnaise, Friede joined the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers aboard the newly upgraded Brave Olivine as they headed to Galar to meet Diana.

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name. However, Friede didn't mind being called "''Master'' Friede" by [[Ult]].

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.
[[File:Friede Mega Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede's [[Mega Ring]]]]
Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and [[Wy-Yes]]. However, Friede is very fond of the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, and does what he can to help them through their goals. Upon seeing Roy's growth in the past year and having a battle with him in [[HZ122]], Friede acknowledge him as the teams new leader and equal.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past. As time passed, Friede has become more open to his teammates.

===Pokémon===

Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon, typically viewed as leader figures by the younger Pokémon. He also has a tendency to give titles to his Pokemon, such as Captain Pikachu and Instructor Starmie.

|desc={{p|Starmie}}, also known as (Japanese: '''スターミー教官''' ''Instructor Starmie''), is Friede's third known Pokémon. It is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].

As revealed in [[HZ122]], Starmie resided at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], where it met Friede as he underwent astronaut training. Recognizing Starmie's desire to travel into space as well, Friede allowed it to train alongside him. The two became close, which led to Friede catching it and [[Nickname|nicknaming]] it "Instructor Starmie" due to how much he learnt from it during his training.

In [[HZ133]], Starmie Mega Evolved alongside Roy's Lucario and Ult's Sableye to battle against the Explorers Admin's Mega Evolved Pokemon. Starmie and Sableye focused on Aerodactyl and Glalie while Lucario focused on fighting Medicham.

Instructor Starmie's known moves are {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Agility}}, and {{m|Psybeam}}.}}

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Pokémon distribution map.png|250px|thumb|The Pokémon distribution map]]
As a [[Pokémon Professor]], Friede worked on some important {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reports.

* '''Pokémon distribution map''': Presented at academic conferences, and converted into an app on the [[Rotom Phone]], if the [[Trainer]] finds a Pokémon that is not listed on the map, the system generates a report on the species found.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Friede, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Friede is seen using {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, with Sprigatito, Metagross, and Fuecoco being Pokémon that he was not seen using in animation, although it could be a reference to [[Liko's Sprigatito]], {{DL|Orla|Metagross|Orla's Metagross}}, and [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Friede or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

She enrolled in [[Indigo Academy]] at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} listen to her instructions in {{pkmn|battle}}, but to little avail.

One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the group, who called themselves [[Explorers]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had her partner unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but she got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture her before fleeing.
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that [[Murdock]] and Friede had found Onia. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for him. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visit [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her.

In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared interest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.
[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and [[Alex|her father]]]]
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{an|Nemona}} and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Rotom hypnotized.png|thumb|200px|Liko and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} having their memories erased by [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}}]]
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finished treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that Dot sent her a picture of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. In [[HZ015|the following episode]], Dot staged a collaboration with {{an|Iono}} in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a [[Multi Battle]] against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]].
[[File:Liko holding Hatenna.png|thumb|250px|Liko catches {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} as her second Pokémon]]
In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Liko and Roy met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] once more in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get her to come out, as she was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing her that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|transform}} in order to battle the Black Rayquaza after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Liko and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|Liko and [[Lucca|her mother]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a [[rematch]] against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy's {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}}, Teddy, used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.

In ''[[HZ053|Hatenna and the Otherworldly]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and used her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}} to defeat the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.
[[File:Liko and her friends.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann at Naranja Academy]]
In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Liko was paired with Katy for an aptitude match against [[Rika]] of the Paldea [[Elite Four]]. During the battle, Liko became frustrated, comparing herself with the other Trainers and thinking she couldn't keep up, a feeling that was building up inside her even before the battle begun. Katy and Rika supported her their own ways, pointing out her mind was seemingly everywhere at once. The Elite Four member also left her wondering about what Pokémon battles are about, and Liko found out her answer as the battle went on, recognizing that being immersed in a battle allows for a Trainer to know what their Pokémon feels and vowing to take battles as seriously as her Floragato has ever taken. In the end, Liko and Katy still lost, with the student becoming emotional and shedding bitter tears for having engaged more intimately with the battle. Later, she was approached by [[Grusha]], who briefly made a comment about her before leaving with [[Geeta]]. While she did not know who he was, she would eventually find out once the pairings for the next module of the Tera Training [[HZ057|were revealed]], as he was assigned as the Gym Leader she would have to face.

In ''[[HZ063|Ice Battle! Cold-Eyed Grusha]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived at [[Glaseado Gym]] for her Tera Training test against Grusha. After learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko was determined to receive approval from the Gym Leader. The battle, however, did not go according to her plans, as {{p|Cetitan}}'s bulk and {{p|Altaria}}'s aerial attacks, combined with a massive type disadvantage, proved to be too much for her team, leading to Liko failing her test, with Grusha not acknowledging her in spite of her loss and refusing to give her a second chance.
[[File:Liko and Amethio talking.png|250px|thumb|Liko and [[Amethio]] opening up to each other]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', the trio decided to visit {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}}, wanting to cheer Liko up. Along the way, she was unknowingly deviated from her friends by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} and ran by chance into Amethio, who seized the opportunity to take Terapagos. This time, however, Liko and Floragato put up a fight and even forced Amethio into Terastallizing Ceruledge, which made her think back to her recent loss and hesitate. The battle was interrupted by Spinel, who tested the effects of the [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]] on his {{p|Umbreon}}, causing it to enter a rampaging state that allowed it to easily triumph over Ceruledge. Angered, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and destroyed the crystal, purifying Umbreon in the process. Demanding answers as to what they just witnessed, Liko and Amethio chased after the fleeing Spinel, only to be lured into a nearby cave and be trapped inside. In the [[HZ065|following episode]], as the air grew colder, they gathered around a campfire and opened up to each other, learning about each other's goals and reflecting on the similarities of their journeys. Liko even pondered if the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers could work together to reach the end goal they shared, but Amethio quickly discarded the idea, claiming the paths they take are too different. Eventually, they managed to create an opening in the ceiling and escape, with him warning her about Spinel before parting ways. Later, Liko reunited with her friends and Friede and told them about the Treasure of Eternity. Before heading down the mountain, the children visited Paldea's Highest Peak and snapped a group [[photo]].
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko battling Roy in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', the trio returned to Naranja Academy, where the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] was announced, allowing those who failed the Tera Training to Terastallize one last time before the course officially ended. As the tournament was underway, Dot informed Liko and Roy that the Explorers had infiltrated the academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos. They split up, and Liko ended up finding and confronting Sidian at the academy's rooftop; unbeknownst to them, Grusha watched their battle from afar. In order to protect Terapagos and the school, Liko Terastallized Floragato, granting her enough power to defeat her opponent. Sidian acknowledged Liko's strength before leaving, and Grusha finally revealed himself, telling her to meet him at the principal's office, where [[Clavell]] and Geeta were also at. While Liko thought she was in trouble for Terastallizing outside of the Tera Training, they actually commended her for her actions, with the Gym Leader even changing his previous assessment to a passing grade. With one more student having passed their usage test, the tournament's battle pairings changed accordingly, with Liko and Roy [[HZ067|being set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Hattrem were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Roy's Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Liko and Roy both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Liko was challenged by Lucius's Arboliva, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Liko Terastallized Floragato and had her use an enhanced {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Liko was separated from the others and came across various scratches in the terrain, which she attributed to Kleavor. Using Hattrem's ability to sense emotions, Liko was able to ascertain that Kleavor wasn't angry and that the markings weren't meant as a warning sign. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Liko and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Liko, Roy, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Liko and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Liko, Roy, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Liko reunited with Diana, who had successfully obtained more information on Lucius. Before telling everyone what she had learned, Diana challenged her granddaughter to a battle, which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, Diana told the Rising Volt Tacklers about how Lucius founded the original Explorers alongside his comrades, [[Rystal]] and [[Gibeon]]. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede took Diana to the Crystal Pool, where they successfully used its power to summon Rystal's spirit. There, they learned that Terapagos was actually Rystal's partner Pokémon and that she and Lucius are Liko's great-great-grandparents. Rystal [[HZ075|then proceeded]] to tell everyone how she met Lucius, how the original Explorers came to be, and what happened after they made it to Laqua, which ended up with Gibeon seemingly falling to his death and Lucius being sealed inside Laqua to prevent the Laquium from threatening the world's balance. When it was time for Rystal to return to her original time, she entrusted Terapagos to Liko, stating that she was its partner now. Liko comforted Terapagos, who was sad to see its original Trainer leave. With a Poké Ball she received from Friede, Liko caught Terapagos and adopted the nickname "[[Pagogo]]" from Rystal. Afterward, Diana bid farewell to Liko and the others and went on her own travels.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Liko, Roy, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its Terastal Form, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Lucius and Liko HZ089.png|250px|thumb|Lucius entrusting his dream to Liko]]
With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Liko faced off against Sidian and was able to gain the upper hand without resorting to Terastallization even when her opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Liko encouraged Floragato to stand tall as well in order to protect their friends, which was the push necessary for her to evolve into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. For a final assault, she teamed up with Ceruledge, and managed to knock Zygarde down with her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}}. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Liko witnessed Lucius fading away and promised to keep looking after Pagogo. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Liko and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.
[[File:Liko new outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko deciding to go on a new journey with Roy]]
Liko and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Liko initially returning home. In the year following these events however, Liko couldn't stay at home in Paldea because of Spinel's actions, and she ended up returning to Indigo Academy in Kanto. Fortunately, Liko was able to have a regular life at Indigo Academy because nobody, except Ann, knew she was a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

[[HZ090|One]] [[HZ091|year]] after ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Liko reunited with Roy, who revealed that he and Dot discovered that Laquium was still affecting Pokémon worldwide, and told her that he needed her help. However, between being accustomed to Indigo Academy, Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball in the last year, and not wanting everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler, Liko refused, but apologized to Roy. Although, seeing Roy battling Ann and realizing that her three best friends were always moving ahead, Liko decided to have a battle with Roy. Liko gave it her all, but lost to Roy once again. Despite the loss, Liko with her newfound confidence decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua in order to clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', while Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]] battle two Laquium-enhanced {{P|Steelix}}, when Liko was about to be attacked by both, Pagogo finally awakened from its Poké Ball to protect her with its energy barrier, proceeding to change into its Terastal Form and purify the Laquium affecting the two Steelix, much to Liko's joy.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy met Mollie, who was working at her family's Pokémon Center. Liko then sent Meowscarada to battle a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}}, but she got badly poisoned, opting to switch for Hattrem instead. Liko Terastallized her for the first time to deal more powerful attacks, with Hattrem learning {{m|Healing Wish}} to cure Vileplume.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Liko and Roy went to an Exceed facility after their battle with Vileplume, figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. She and Roy then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Liko and Roy, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Liko and the others reunited with Murdock and Dot at the Patisserie Soapberry. Upon being told the children were reforming the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. To help relieve Murdock's worries, Katy challenged Liko to a rematch, using her {{p|Ursaring}}, Teddy, to battle Pagogo. Despite Katy using Terastallization again, Pagogo eventually emerged victorious, proving to Murdock how much Liko had grown over the past year. Liko, Roy, and Dot decided that if they wanted to prevent Strong Spheres from being released to the public, they would need the Brave Olivine as a faster means of transportation. Murdock explained that when everyone went their separate ways, [[Orla]] said she would dismantle the airship. Roy and Ult then suggested having her build a new Brave Olivine for them to fly on. With Dot joining the group, Liko and the others set off to meet with Orla in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Liko and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Liko and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Liko and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', while doing research on Laquium Signs in [[South Province (Area Three)]] with the others, Liko encountered a student named {{OBP|Pepper|HZ102}}, whose partner {{p|Scovillain}} had gone missing. Later, she came across a scared and injured group of Pokémon including a {{p|Charcadet}} she had met [[HZ057|one year earlier]]. The Pokémon were being terrorized by Pepper's Scovillain, which had been affected by Laquium and went on a rampage. After seeing Liko risk herself to protect its friends, Charcadet teamed up with Pagogo to battle and purify Scovillain, returning it to its senses. Once Scovillain and Pepper were reunited, Liko said goodbye to {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, only for it to request that she let it join her team, which Liko happily accepted.
[[File:Amethio and Liko HZ104.png|thumb|250px|Liko reunites with Amethio]]
In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Liko attended a Nidothing and Iono fan meeting in Levincia. While waiting for the event to begin, she and the others came across Zirc and Onia. Upon learning that Zirc was a fellow Nidothing fan but lost his ticket to the event, Liko agreed to help find it. Everyone tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck to a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}. Together, Liko and the others battled Wugtrio, giving Zirc's {{p|Rhydon}} the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, after the event finished, Zirc and Onia approached Liko and revealed that Amethio went missing sometime after the incident at Laqua. To Liko's surprise, Zirc and Onia personally requested that she help them locate Amethio's whereabouts.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', Liko accompanied Zirc and Onia to [[Amethio's mansion]] where she found out more about his past. With a picture of Amethio when he was younger and help from [[Cervantis]], Liko, Zirc and Onia found him on an island near Levincia. After telling Amethio everything that had happened in the past year, Liko had a battle with him when her Charcadet wanted to battle his Ceruledge, which was called off. In the end, Liko and Charcadet's determination motivated both Amethio and his Ceruledge to fight against Spinel once again, Liko and Amethio then parted ways.

In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', Liko was reunited with her grandmother Diana, who informed everyone about a possible method to have Pagogo fully eradicate the Laquium. After being informed about Spinel capturing the remaining Six Heroes, Diana noticed Liko's newly-caught Charcadet and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]] to test her skills. While Meowscarada was defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}} from Diana's Arcanine, Charcadet defeated Wash {{p|Rotom}} before falling to Arcanine shortly afterwards. Once the battle concluded, Diana discussed with the Rising Volt Tacklers about finding the location of the remaining Six Heroes at an Exceed facility, with Liko suggesting they get answers from Cervantis.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Liko received an email from Cervantis, who requested the Rising Volt Tacklers come meet him in person at an Exceed distribution center. Shortly after they arrived, Liko, Roy, and Ult found out the message was a fake sent by Spinel to lure them out. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], Indi and Rubina used Super Strong Spheres to further empower the captured Six Heroes and made them battle Liko and the others. Liko had Pagogo purify the Laquium afflicting the Six Heroes, only for it to be quickly taken out when the Explorers just used the Super Strong Spheres on the heroes a second time.

In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Liko and her friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and Cervantis, Liko and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Liko and her friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers.

In [[HZ118]], Liko and her Pokémon, except Pagogo, joined Ann and her party with Ditto Block Hunting [[Blueberry Quest]] in the [[Terarium]]. Liko previously thought Hattrem was holding herself back for the sake of Meowscarada and Charcadet, however, after Ann told Liko about her relationship with her older and younger sibling, Liko realized Hattrem wasn't holding herself back at all, but that she was doing what she wanted to do all along because it made her happy. After a heartfelt moment with Hattrem over making sandwiches, Liko confessed that she was happy she met Hattrem and apologized for not realizing Hattrem's intentions before, making her cry tears of joy and triggered her evolution into {{p|Hatterene}}. The next day, Liko and her party were having breakfast when Dot and Roy entered informing her that Briar had acquired new data on Terapagos.

In [[HZ124]], Liko and her friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Liko and Dot tried to hack through the back door but were caught by Indi and Rubina. After Amethio and his Ceruledge showed up in time, Liko battle alongside them in a tag team against Indi and Rubina. Liko and Amethio both worked well as a team, with her Charcadet eventually evolving into {{p|Armarouge}} mid-battle, defeating the Explorers' two {{p|Salamence}} with its new {{m|Armor Cannon}} move, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Liko and her friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Liko and her friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Liko used her Meowscarada and Hatterene against Lucius's Kleavor. After Hatterene got knocked out, Liko had Meowscarada use her invisible flower stems to trap Kleavor and unleashed a massive Magical Leaf, defeating the Axe Pokémon. In [[HZ127]], Liko used her Armarouge to battle against Ann's Samurott, with both trainers Terastallizing their Pokémon. After a series of attacks both Pokémon were knocked out, resulting in a draw.

===Character===
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko's social anxiety]]
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She has also been shown to be cautious about trusting others, as she quickly realized something was amiss when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and she was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without providing her with any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and help rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her intelligence, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she is told the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion.

Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan''). Although she now knows that Nidothing and Dot are the same person, Liko openly treats them both as individual people. She even goes to the point of trying to believe that Nidothing is just Nidothing and nobody is inside the costume, as seen in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'' and ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]''. She gets excited to meet others who are also Nidothing fans, such as [[Yuno]] and [[Litten Smitten]], and when she finds out that those she knows are a fan of her as well, such as [[Zirc]].

She appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes in her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. As revealed in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', Liko gets her drawing skills from her father, [[Alex]]. Liko is also good at painting, as seen in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'', when she makes a drawing of {{p|Arboliva}} with her Pokémon's help. In addition, Liko is a good observer and has been seen writing down her observations in her Rotom Phone.

Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other [[Indigo Academy]] students also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her thoughts. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, quickly befriending [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them. Liko's kindness, compassion, and her willingness to help others encourages many people around her and earns their friendship, as was seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', when she was able to get the initially reserved Dot to open up more by bringing her lunch and inviting her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. This was shown again in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', when Liko helped the often brash and awkward [[Ult]] to become more comfortable with the group, and understand the concept of working as a team. Even some former enemies have eventually been drawn in by her compassionate nature as time progressed, as seen during ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'' when Zirc and [[Onia]] asked her to help them find Amethio. In addition, Liko has shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems.

When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she has actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, and they enjoyed it. She is also able to make other food, as she made pancakes for the group in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]''. In addition, Liko has a habit of keeping her emotions to herself, which Ann pointed out in [[HZ118]]. However, Liko can be emotional, as seen in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', when she cries for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]]. Sometimes, Liko can be hard on herself when she doesn't accomplish something, which leads her to doubt herself, but quickly cheers up through the assurances and motivation from her friends.

[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and loves with them with all her heart. She has also shown to prioritize their safety, as demonstrated in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so that the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even to the point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save [[Pagogo]] from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. This was shown again in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', when she went to protect a wild {{p|Happiny}} from getting attacked by a [[Laquium]]-afflicted {{p|Scovillain}}, but both were saved by a wild {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} that she met a [[HZ057|year earlier]], as it decided to become one of her Pokémon partners after witnessing her compassion for them. She often feels happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people. Liko's appreciation for her Pokémon is shown when she at first misread {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s intentions in [[HZ118]] as she first thought she was holding herself back for the sake of the rest of her party and not doing what she wanted to do, but she soon realizes that wasn't the case at all and that Hattrem was doing what she wanted to do; helping other Pokémon as she had since she was a Hatenna, making Liko apologize for not realizing it sooner and thanking Hattrem, being grateful that she met her.

Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. However, throughout her journey, Liko becomes more confident in herself, showing more of her courageous side and less of her fearful side. Liko also developed a never-giving-up attitude, having took to heart Amethio's words of letting a setback stop her from achieving her goals in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', and even repeated them to Amethio himself in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'' when his own confidence was brought low by the last year's events.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult]]
Liko has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{p|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. She also has a stubborn streak, which her grandmother described to her Sprigatito in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her identity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.

Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is. In addition, Liko has come to enjoy battling and wants to become stronger in order to protect those she cares about. Liko's true strength shines through when she is fighting for others, especially for her friends and family, which [[Grusha]] points out in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]''.
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Ann]]
Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Ever since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Although, Liko seemed to have picked up Friede's tendency to forget to give important details, as seen in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]''. In addition to Friede, Liko has a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as they are her best friends and mostly hangs out with them. Liko also has a close friendship with Ann, even keeping in touch with her whenever she could, especially before or after class at Indigo Academy. Although, Liko tries to protect Ann and doesn't want her dear friend to get hurt, but eventually accepted her decision of wanting to help her, as shown in [[HZ127]].
[[File:Amethio and Liko.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Amethio]]
At first, Liko saw Amethio as her enemy due to being a member of the Explorers and his attempts to kidnap her. However, during the events in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Liko starts to see Amethio differently when he saved her from getting hurt during a battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Liko further sees Amethio differently in ''[[HZ067|Liko and Amethio]]'' when they opened up to each other, which led her to bonding with him. Ever since, Liko trusts Amethio and comes to care about him, even helping Onia and Zirc find him when they informed her about his disappearances after the events in Laqua. Upon being informed of the [[HZ075|Explorers origins]], Liko quickly accepted her great-great grandparents [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]]'s history with Amethio's grandfather [[Gibeon]]. Liko and Amethio have also shown to work well together in battle, as seen in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'' and [[HZ124]].

[[HZ089|Upon losing Friede]], Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball, and the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], Liko's confidence took a hit and she hid her affiliation from her classmates, with Ann being the only one who knew. Despite her own talent, she also lets Ann become the ace of Indigo Academy, contributing to her feelings of renewed stagnation over the year. In addition, Liko has avoided everything associated with the Rising Volt Tacklers to hide the pain of what she went through, even going to the point of not staying in contact with Roy and Dot or watching her Nidothing videos. However, upon reuniting with Roy and realizing that her best friends are always moving forward with their Pokémon partners, Liko becomes inspired to do the same, as she cuts loose in her battle against Roy in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]'' and reveals to her classmates that she is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. With a newfound resolve to move forward for herself, Liko is now determined to reclaim her agency and clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name, while returning to traveling with both her best friends and Pokémon, in hopes of one day being able to soar the skies on the Brave Olivine with her friends once more. Her wish soon starts coming true not just when the Rising Volt Tacklers are officially re-formed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' with the addition of a new friend and teammate in Ult, but also with the discovery that Friede is still alive but in hiding. Liko also works with Roy, Dot, and Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absences. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Liko comes to [[HZ122|accept]] in being a founding member of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that her best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of her teammates are there to assist her in her time of need.

Although she still compassionate, Liko has become much serious in dealing with situations, especially in dealing with the Explorers, and less afraid of what people think of her. Liko is even more adventurous than she was when she first started out as a Trainer. During her training at [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko learns to get the facts before jumping to conclusions and open up in expressing her emotions.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|350px|Liko's current [[party]]]]
Liko's team mostly consist of Pokémon who are, in some way, related to strong emotions, tying it to her goal of learning more about the feelings of Pokémon. As Liko matured as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, so did her ability to recognize and deal with the emotional necessities of her Pokémon, which can be most clearly seen in her history with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Her team has also shown to have a strong bond with each other, as they look out for one another. In addition, Meowscarada has occasionally been seen carrying {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}} during her first two [[evolution]]ary stages, and [[Pagogo]], while {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}}, as a Charcadet, has shown a tendency to ride Pagogo. Her Pokémon all have Liko's compassion, loyalty, and reckless nature, as they would do anything to protect anyone in danger, especially their Trainer and each other.

Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Meowscarada and Pagogo are Liko's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, while Hatterene and Armarouge are the secondary battlers. Additionally, Hatterene can be seen as the healer, healing any Pokémon, even her own teammates, when they are injured and Pagogo can be seen as a protector, considering its ability to put up shields and purify [[Laquium]].

In battle, she shows great capability of using her Pokémon's unique traits, such as Meowscarada's invisible stem to confuse her opponents then tying them up and Hatterene's, while she was a Hattrem, psychic power to help detect enemies, as shown in ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', when she used her to guide Meowscarada around {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}'s attack. She also makes consistent use of her Armarouge's {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]] by letting it absorb fire attacks to strengthen itself while also protecting Meowscarada showcasing her talent in battle tactics as a Trainer. Furthermore, she is smart enough to counter her opponents strategy, demonstrated when she used her Armarouge's {{m|Clear Smog}} to eliminate the power up [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Salamence}} had with {{m|Dragon Dance}}.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
* Liko was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name="anipoke20230303">[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name="LikoRoyConcept">[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Liko's first hairpin bears resemblance to a stylized “L” in addition to the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] logo featured on [[Ash's hat]] in the {{aniseries|OS}}. Her second hairpin both resembles the katakana character リ ''ri'' and the hiragana character こ ''ko'', which spells out her name. The second hairpin also looks similar to the logo on the first [[I Choose You! trilogy|''I Choose You!'' trilogy]] hat.
* Liko is the first female main character to:
** Be completely original to the animated series and not be based on any character from the games.
** Have obtained her first Pokémon outside her home region.
** Own a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}}.
*** She is also the first main character to receive a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as her first Pokémon.

** Have obtained a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon and use an [[Evolution item]] since {{an|Misty}}.
** Have defeated a [[Gym Leader]] in a non-[[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]].
** Own a Fire-type that isn't a first partner Pokémon.

* All of Liko's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} in [[Galar]], [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] in [[Kitakami]], and {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} in [[Paldea]].
* Liko's first main attire bears a resemblance to {{p|Oshawott}}, with her belt bag resembling Oshawott's [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]].
* Liko's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230414, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' and ''[[HZ002|(Part Two)]]'', the first two episodes of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.
* Liko is the only younger [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member that:
** Has a Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation VIII]].
** Doesn't own a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Hasn't caught a Pokémon she can use for transportation.
* Liko is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** A Grass-type Pokémon in her party.
** {{Tera}}stallized all of her Pokémon.
* When Terastallizing her Pokémon, Liko uses the phrase '''shine in full bloom''' (Japanese: '''満開に輝いて''' ''shine in full bloom'').

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of [[wild Pokémon]] heard him and followed him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended him. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Olivine, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave him some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted him to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a {{i|Poké Ball}} that Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} gave him, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with Captain Pikachu, they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', {{an|Nemona}} led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy and Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} as his second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wandered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]]. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Captain Pikachu to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel's lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Cap for a [[rematch]] but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Cap again.

In the [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up and they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends' curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. Eventually, [[Orla]] was able to convince Friede into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to him being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko received some training from Kabu before having a [[Multi Battle]] against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out from Kabu that the Black Rayquaza was at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Roy and Liko met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to its Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and [[Onia]], which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by Coral and Sidian, respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and {{an|Nemona}}]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's basic aptitude test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering the words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, evolving into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.
[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their basic aptitude tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third form of Terapagos. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} [[Ability]] to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her. Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom, to prevent the destruction of the students' artworks, while Coral followed in pursuit. After a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko [[HZ067|are set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both Kilowattrel and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Roy and Liko both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Roy, Liko, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After Liko received Lucius's belt back from Friede, Roy was challenged by Lucius's Moltres, who wanted to test his strength as a Trainer at the end of his Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Roy Terastallized Crocalor and had him use an enhanced Flame Charge, which Moltres withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a [[photo]] of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Roy, Liko Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Roy ended up separated from the others after he and Crocalor fell into an underground cave, but they managed to find their way out and counted on Kilowattrel to take them up the mountain. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Roy, Liko, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. Having achieved his goal of catching Rayquaza, Roy decided to have the Legendary Pokémon acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Roy faced off against Coral, this time against her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and managed to win without resorting to Terastallization even when his opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of [[Laquium]], the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}} attack, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Once Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and managed to knock Zygarde down, the Legendary Pokémon forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.
[[File:Roy changing his look.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy changing his look]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Roy witnessed Lucius fading away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Roy and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Roy and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that [[Exceed]] had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, dropping him back to Kanto. In the year following these events, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and somehow caught a {{Shiny|yellow}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in his travels. In that same year, Roy [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Ult]] in [[Kalos]], which led to both becoming [[Rival|rivals]], acquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

[[HZ090|One year after]] ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Roy received a message from Dot informing him about Laquium effects still existing worldwide. Roy and his rival Ult both battled and defeated a Laquium-enhanced wild {{p|Slaking}} with their respective Pokémon, after which Roy left his rival behind to meet with Liko at [[Indigo Academy]]. Roy then showed up at Indigo Academy, [[HZ091|meeting up]] with Liko for the first time in a year. He then battled and defeated both Ann and Liko. After that, Liko then decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua and clearing the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Roy and Liko went to an Exceed facility after their battle with a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}} in the [[HZ094|last episode]], figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. Roy and Liko then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Roy and Liko, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy battling Ann]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Roy and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Roy, Ult, Dot, and Liko teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Roy and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Roy and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Later, after reuniting with Nemona, Roy faced her in a [[Double Battle]], using Crocalor and Lucario against Nemona's {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. During the climax of the battle, Roy Mega Evolved his Lucario and Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot into a {{T|Fighting}}-type, which ended the battle in a final clash between the two and the in the latter's defeat, resulting in Roy's victory.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Roy joined Liko and Ult in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Roy's Pokémon struggled to deal significant damage to the Six Heroes. After Pagogo was defeated, Roy and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Roy and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Roy and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Roy and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann is there as an exchange student.

In [[HZ116]], Roy started his training with one of the BB Elite 4 members, [[Drayton]], by doing some Blueberry quests. The "training" turned out to be false when [[Lacey]] discovered Drayton had tricked Roy into doing his quests for him. After Drayton heard Roy battled with Hassel, whom his grandfather was associated with, he began to train Roy seriously with a Double Battle. While Roy's Pokémon held their own, once Drayton used {{m|Rain Dance}} to his advantage, Crocalor and Kilowattrel were defeated easily, causing Roy to lose. After this loss, Drayton told Roy he should be more calm and less tense in battle, after which Roy and Crocalor chose to laze around next to a {{p|Slakoth}} in the [[Terarium]] to get an idea of what Drayton meant.

In [[HZ119]], Roy and Drayton had their rematch, with Crocalor and Kilowattrel facing off against {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Archaludon}} once again. This time Roy was more calm and composed, trusting his Pokémon better and using better strategies to counter his oppnent's weather tactics. Soon Kingdra was defeated with a combined attack, only for Archaludon to attack Crocalor, resulting in Kilowattrel protecting its teammate and getting knocked out afterwards. With Kilowattrel's defeat, Crocalor clashed with Archaludon, with Roy cheering him on, which resulted in his evolution into {{p|Skeledirge}}. After Roy and Drayton Terastallized their respective Pokémon, Skeledirge defeated Archaludon by powering through its Draco Meteor attack with Flamethrower, winning Roy the rematch. Roy thanked Drayton for his training, and Liko congratulated Roy on his victory.

In [[HZ122]], Roy and Skeledirge battled against Friede's Charizard for the first time. Thanks to a newly learned [[Torch Song (move)|Torch Song]], Skeledirge eventually managed to defeat Charizard.
[[File:Roy and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy after battling the Black Rayquaza]]
In [[HZ124]], Roy and his friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Roy and Ult went up the roof but were caught by the grunts and battle them. After defeating them, Roy and Ult meet up with the girls and Amethio, as Dot was able to get them in by hacking the door. Roy and his friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Roy and his friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Roy used his Skeledirge and Kilowattrel to battle Lucius's Moltres. Despite struggling, Roy is able to find an opening for his Pokémon to battle Moltres, but found one then combined his Kilowattrel use its newly learn {{m|Supercell Slam}} and Skeledirge's {{m|Torch Song}}, defeating the Malevolent Pokémon.

In [[HZ127]], Roy battled against Nemona with Lucario and Pawmot having a rematch. After a tough fight Roy Mega-evolved Lucario while Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot, with Lucario being defeated as a result, causing Roy to lose the battle.

In [[HZ129]], Roy, Liko, and Ult travelled to the Dragon's den to battle the Black Rayquaza, though not before feeding it a meteorite given by Friede. Rayquaza then Terastallized and battled Roy and Ult's Pokémon teams, defeating most of their Pokémon, with only Skeledirge remaining as a final battler. Roy encouraged Skeledirge with all his effort, allowing Skeledirge to slow down and take Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, and then defeated it with Flamethrower. Roy then officially caught Rayquaza, who acknowledged him as a Trainer, finally fufilling his dream. Rayquaza then exited its Poké Ball and started roaming the world until the time comes to gather the Six Heroes to get rid of Laquium once and for all.

In [[HZ131]], Roy is reunited with Master Mayonnaise whom came to the Kalos Region looking for him and Ult and ran into Friede being fascinated with his Mega Starmie. He receives the [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise for his Lucario. Soon, he and Lucario battle against Master Mayonnaise and his [[Hawlucha (Pokémon)|Hawlucha]]. At first, its showboat personality made it vulnerable to attack, however after it Mega Evolved, Lucario's attacks couldn't physically phase it. Roy tried to Mega Evolve Lucario with the new Mega Stone, however, it didn't respond to him nor Lucario before it was defeated. Master Mayonnaise revealed the reason why Roy and Lucario couldn't Master it is because their usage of Aura wasn't compatible to use the new Mega Evolution form. Roy vowed to learn and train his [[Aura]] until he could learn it alongside Lucario and asked Master Mayonnaise to train him again, which he agreed to.

In [[HZ132]], Roy and the group arrived at Diana's place to request her help, which she accepted. Roy trains his Lucario's Aura in order to use its new Mega Evovle form. However, realizing that Lucario isn't relax like him and the rest of his Pokémon are, Roy encourged the Aura Pokémon to join them and sang together. Roy and his Pokémon then watch Ult train with Diana and Master Mayonnaise. Through Ult's advice about finding a new battle style and has been using it for his Pokémon, Roy realize that he and Lucario need to do the same. Roy was then challenged to a rematch by Master Mayonnaise, which he accepted. During the battle, Roy and Lucario found a new battling style, even becoming in sync, leading to Lucario Mega Evolving into its Z form. Through their teamwork, Roy and Lucario won the rematch then bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise. Roy and the group head for Laqua.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|thumb|250px|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he's solved them. Due to growing up on an island, Roy struggles to navigate through large cities like [[Levincia]] and [[Lumiose City]] as all the buildings look the same to him, leading him to get lost easily as shown in ''[[Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!|''Someone We Can’t See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'' and ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]''.

He always keeps his head up and is looking ahead, which [[Emma]]'s points out in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]''. Those characteristic's seem to be an inspiration to those around him, such as [[Dot]] and [[Ult]]. He also has a way of cheering up his friends whenever they are sad or down and knows how to raise their spirts. In addition, Roy doesn't usually show downer emotions, such a depression and sadness. Although, Roy does show those emotions, but doesn't let them affect him very long and shakes it off quickly.

Roy is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems, especially his own. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the [[Brave Olivine]] his main place to do them.

Upon being assigned to hoist the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s flag in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy not only takes his job seriously, but also takes care of it. Roy is also fond of the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag, having found it in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', and symbolizes as to how he meet his friends, especially Fuecoco and Liko, and fond his ambitions. Through taking care of the Rising Volt Tackler's flag, Roy learned how to sew it back up whenever it got torn up, as seen in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''. Roy also enjoys watching the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag blow into the wind when he and his teammates are flying around the Brave Olivine.

[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and Dot, as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer {{an|Nemona}}, which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokémon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'' where he effortlessly commanded his {{p|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundred percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students' artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy connecting with his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} through [[aura]]]]
As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasized in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

Since losing Friede, the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival Ult is tenuous at best: while Roy can get along with him, respects Ult's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Ult to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Ult and teases him. Despite this, Roy does have a close friendship with Ult and tries to keep him out of trouble. Roy does show concern for Ult and doesn't want to see him get hurt. Although, as time passed, Roy's friendship with Ult has shown improvement, as they clash less and are more supportive to each other.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Roy helps Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absence, as he and the rest of his teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explorers. Roy also has help in Liko and Dot for making decisions for the group's destinations because the three of them are the reason the team reformed and Ult joining the group as their newest member. In addition, Roy has been flying the Brave Olivine, as Murdock taught him in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'' and has been doing so ever since. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Roy was willing to give leadership back to him and didn't have to worry about the burden of being in charge. However, after having a battle with Friede in the [[HZ122|next episode]], Roy has come to accept being the leader of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that his best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of his teammates are there to help him. He is also learning on how to maintain the Brave Olivine from [[Orla]], as seen in [[HZ123]].

During his training with [[Drayton]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Roy learned to become more relaxed even in the heat of battle as before he would get very worked up and thus leave him unable to think about the next move and he would panic slightly about what to do next. This trait partially lead to his defeat by Drayton in [[HZ116]], but using what he learned from Drayton he won the rematch in [[HZ119]] with his Crocalor evolving into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} in the process. Roy's development in being relax in battle is shown in [[HZ125]], when he stayed calm and found an opening during his battle against Moltres. He even used Drayton's lesson to help his Lucario be less frustrated and go with the flow more in [[HZ132]].

In [[HZ131]], it's revealed that Roy isn't able to properly use or harness Aura for his Lucario to have access to its new Mega Evolution, despite being able to read Lucario's movements in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'' though his and Crocalor's Aura. However, after bonding more, Roy and his Lucario were able to pull off the new Mega Evolution in their rematch against Master Mayonnaise.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's current [[party]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons, which is a trait their Trainer's also has, who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} was initially embarrassed of singing in front of others, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights, and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} would easily get frustrated. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. During Skeledirge and Kilowattrel's first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types. His Pokémon all share Roy's eagerness for battling, as they don't give up until the end.

Furthermore, his Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Skeledirge and {{p|Lucario}} are Roy's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, with Lucario's [[Mega Evolution]] in particular acting as the team's power equalizer against tougher opponents, while Kilowattrel is the secondary battler, although it mainly acts as aerial support. When Captain Pikachu was traveling with Roy, he often contributed in tough battles with his greater experience and power. Roy's Pokémon seem to have a tight knit bond with each other and especially work well together as a unit due to their extensive training in [[Kalos]].

==Trivia ==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the {{pkmn|animated series}} by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
* Roy is the first male main character:
** To keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
** To own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
* Roy is the first main human character since {{an|Cilan}} to not debut in the first episode of his series.
* Roy is the first main character to:
** Have obtained a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
** Catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
** Become the leader of an established team.
** Own more than one Shiny Pokémon.
* All of Roy's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} in [[Paldea]], {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in [[Kalos]], and [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] in [[Johto]].
** Additionally, all of Roy’s Pokémon were recurring [[wild Pokémon]] at some point, never being caught in the same episode that that he encountered them for the first time. While Lucario [[HZ089|debuted]] under his ownership, it later appeared in [[Episode: Mega Evolution|three episodes]] set in the past and depicting it as a wild Pokémon before its capture.
*** This makes Roy the only main character whose Pokémon have all chronologically appeared in at least one episode before being caught.
* Roy is the first main character other than {{Ash}} to be able to use more than one battle technique.
* Roy is the first [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
* Roy is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** Shiny Pokémon.
** A Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, Roy uses the phrase '''seize your true power and go above and beyond''' (Japanese: '''真なる力を掴んで超えろ！''' ''Grasp true power and go beyond!'').
* Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

The '''Rising Volt Tacklers''' (Japanese: '''ライジングボルテッカーズ''' ''Rising Volteccers'') is a team of adventurers led by [[Friede]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}. Initially, it was founded by Friede, [[Captain Pikachu]], [[Orla]], and [[Ludlow]] in [[Hoenn]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers travel around the {{pkmn|world}} aboard their airship and base of operations, the [[Brave Olivine]]. After [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] joined them at the beginning of the series, their main mission became to find and gather the [[Six Heroes]], which led them to become the archenemies of the [[Explorers]].

After Friede's disappearance in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', the Explorers framed the team as villains, which forced them to disband and its members to go their separate ways. In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', the team was re-formed with most of the original members rejoining at the Brave Olivine in [[Galar]], now with the goal to stop the Explorers' plans and reveal the truth about the Rising Volt Tacklers to the world. In [[HZ122]], because Roy re-formed the team during Friede's absence, he was acknowledged by Friede as the founder of the new Rising Volt Tacklers and officially became its new leader.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Pre-series===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers formed.png|thumb|250px|The formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Sometime prior to the events of the series, the [[Pokémon Professor]] [[Friede]] was [[fishing]] in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and his former mentor [[Ludlow]]. Friede met up with a teacher of his, [[Lucca]], who wanted him to meet someone. Upon meeting a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] trying to fly, Friede decided to do research on him and tried to befriend the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}}. Although he failed to befriend {{P|Pikachu}}, Friede didn't give up as he offered the Mouse Pokémon some food. Eventually, Friede decided to fly up to sky to see why Pikachu wanted to fly, realizing that he wanted to see the horizons. Seeing Pikachu falling, Friede and Charizard saved him, winning his friendship. Friede asked Pikachu to be his partner, which he accepted. Later, Friede asked Ludlow if he can have his boat and was okay with it. The two arrived in [[Slateport City]] in [[Hoenn]] where Friede met up with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and asked her to turn Ludlow's boat into an airship. Through her help, the boat turned into the [[Brave Olivine]] and the four of them formed the Rising Volt Tacklers. Also, Friede decided to [[nickname]] his partner Captain Pikachu.

Later, the four of them met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Wy-Yes eventually decided to leave the team in order to become a journalist for {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}}. Sometime after Wy-Yes left, Murdock's niece [[Dot]] (who is a well-known streamer known as Nidothing) joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. During their adventures, the Rising Volt Tacklers had various Pokémon from all the different regions settle in with them when they decided to make the Brave Olivine their home. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca, who was reached out by her mother, [[Diana]], as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] region, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Explorers.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Friede]] facing the [[Explorers]] for the first time]]
The Rising Volt Tacklers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. They first appeared looking for Liko at Indigo Academy, but they failed to find her because all the students were wearing the same uniforms. Despite this, they decided to try again in finding Liko during the school break with Friede going back to Indigo Academy by himself in order to find her. When Liko clashed with the members of the [[Explorers]], Friede appeared to help her. After nearly getting hit by {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} were protected by the power of her mysterious pendant.

In the [[HZ002|following episode]], Friede took Liko to the Rising Volt Tacklers' airship, where she had her first interaction with the rest of the group. Before Liko could ask more about them, the ship was intercepted by members of the Explorers and another battle between Friede and [[Amethio]] ensued. After Liko almost gave herself to the Explorers, her Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the force field around the Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, allowing Amethio to capture her before fleeing with his group.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede revealed that Liko's mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group went to the city where the Explorers were last seen, and [[Murdock's Rockruff]] managed to smell Sprigatito's scent in [[Onia]]. Friede, Liko, and Rockruff chased her back to their temporary base, where Friede engaged Amethio again in a battle to allow for Liko and Rockruff to find where Sprigatito was held captive. After being reunited with her Pokémon, Liko decided to trust in the Rising Volt Tacklers and became part of the group, whose next destination was Paldea.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] for the first time]]
[[HZ004|Throughout]] their [[HZ005|journey]] to get Liko to Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers met a boy named [[Roy]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he helped them repair their ship. Roy [[HZ006|eventually]] decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their adventures, after forming a bond with a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} that lived with them as he became his first Pokémon and an encounter with a [[Black Rayquaza]] that came out of his [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers helped Liko and Roy become [[HZ007|better at Pokémon battles]]. In addition, Liko and Roy learned of the existence of Dot (who was hiding in her room from the rest of the crew and Liko and Roy up until that point) as they [[HZ008|attempted]] to make friends with her.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Paldea. After Friede failed to reach Liko's mother, they decided to head over to her house as [[Alex]], her father, was home. However, Liko overheard Alex talking to Friede, as he expressed how worried he was about her being on her own and expressed a desire for her to attend school in Paldea. Liko decided to head back to the ship for the night, but was not able to fall sleep. Through Orla and Mollie's advice and a drawing Dot made for her, Liko made up her mind as she left the ship to go back home to tell Alex her decision. Upon arriving home, Liko told her father that she wanted to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers and attend online classes at the Indigo Academy, which he understood and accepted her decision.
[[File:Liko and Roy with Arboliva.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] with [[Lucius's Arboliva]]]]
Following a lead from Alex and [[Brassius]] [[HZ010|about]] the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers [[HZ011|investigated]] [[Arboliva's Forest]] where they met a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} that had another Ancient Poké Ball and saw the damage that a forest fire caused to it. The Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to restore the forest and eventually witnessed Liko's pendant reveal an [[Pagogo|unknown Pokémon]], which showed her and Roy a vision. After Arboliva decided to join them, Liko and Roy discovered that it and the Black Rayquaza belonged to [[Lucius]], the Ancient Adventurer. Friede also found out about this through Lucca as she told him that she knew the legend thanks to her mother. Liko [[HZ012|decided]] to meet with her grandmother in [[Galar]] to learn more about her pendant.

However, [[HZ013|before]] they could set off for Galar, they were ambushed by [[Spinel]] of the Explorers who was able to steal [[HZ014|Liko's pendant]] by using his {{p|Beheeyem}} to put her in a trance, which led her to lose part of her [[HZ015|memory]]. While most of the crew was searching for Liko, Dot had some help in streamer and [[Levincia]] [[Gym Leader]] {{an|Iono}} in finding her. Dot decided to leave the airship in order to find Liko, causing Roy to finally meet her in person. Meanwhile, Liko was able to recover the memories she lost while under Beheeyem's trance and met up with Roy and Dot, meeting the latter for the first time. After reuniting with Friede, Liko realized that her pendant was stolen, so the Rising Volt Tacklers made a plan to get it back from Spinel. Dot officially became a [[HZ016|Pokémon Trainer]] with the {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that have been living with the Rising Volt Tacklers as her first Pokémon. After they managed to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for the Galar region.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling [[Lucius's Moltres]]]]
During [[HZ017|their]] [[HZ018|journey]] to Galar, the younger members became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during a battle against Roy's Fuecoco and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}. After failing to get an answer from Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot asked the rest of the members, but no luck. However, their question did get the rest of the members curious as well, turning to Friede for answers. Although he was reluctant to answer their question, Friede decided to tell them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Galar. They decided that their first stop was at [[Motostoke]] before heading to [[Hammerlocke]] by train.

However, [[HZ020|after hearing from]] [[Kabu]] that he saw the Black Rayquaza flying to the west of Motostoke, they [[HZ021|decided]] to take a detour to the [[Galar Mine]]. Here, Liko, Roy, and Friede [[HZ022|encountered]] the Explorers again and they battle them. However, a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrived and attacked them, which led to Captain Pikachu getting injured. Fortunately, Liko and Roy managed to bring Captain Pikachu out of the mine while Friede continued his battle against Amethio. [[HZ023|After recovering]] at the Motostoke's [[Pokémon Center]], Liko and Roy reunited with Friede and the three of them decided to confront Moltres again in order to calm it down. Through their teamwork, they were able to do it. After Terapagos reappeared, they saw a vision and Moltres decided to join them, returning to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, Terapagos didn't return to its pendant form, as {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} sensed its presence and revealed it to her Trainer. Friede hid Terapagos while he, Liko, and Roy decided to take it to the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers properly meeting [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
[[HZ024|After showing the rest of their teammates Terapagos]], Liko, Roy, and Friede headed for Hammerlocke to find the [[ancient castle]] that Diana was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, they were able to meet with Diana, who explained her past and the history of Terapagos. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, who followed them to their location in order to take Terapagos. [[HZ025|Fortunately]], they were able to escape with Diana joining them as she showed Liko information about Lucius and his remaining Pokémon. [[HZ026|After Terapagos did some exploring of its surroundings]], Diana gave Liko a belt that was owned by Lucius to hold the Ancient Poké Balls. Liko then told her friends that she wanted to find Lucius's remaining Pokémon and look for [[Laqua]], which they agreed. However, due to not having a lot of information of the three remaining Pokémon, they decided to continue pursuing Black Rayquaza. [[HZ027|After Dot got misled in finding information about the Black Rayquaza's whereabouts]], Roy decided to ask someone if they knew anything about the Ancient Poké Balls, which Diana tells him that she knows someone who could help. [[HZ028|However]], Diana's friend [[Tepen]] turned out to have turned into stealing. Fortunately, Liko, Diana, and their friends helped Tepen realize the error of his ways. Although Tepen wasn't able to help them get information about the Ancient Poké Balls, Liko and her friends were able to get intel on a contact of his. [[HZ029|Through Tepen's information]], Liko and her friends met [[Karna]] as she designs Poké Balls, but couldn't help them with information about the Ancient Poké Balls either.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet with Lapras.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meeting with [[Lucius's Lapras]] and its "pirate crew"]]
Due to not getting the information they needed about the Ancient Poké Balls, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to continue their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. [[HZ030|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Polteageist}} and {{p|Sinistea}} that decided to live on the Brave Olivine. [[HZ031|Eventually]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got information about a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} and they realized that it had to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, so they decided to investigate. After finding it, they failed to see it because of the {{m|Mist}} covering it and the younger members witnessed two Pokémon appearing on the ship. However, through Friede's plan, the Rising Volt Tacklers were able to see Lapras with scars and they found out that it used the mist to cover any ship that went nearby to give to its fellow Pokémon the chance to steal the food cargo on them. After preventing the group from stealing anything, the Rising Volt Tacklers followed Lapras and its group. [[HZ032|However]], they were stopped when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on the ship. Liko, Roy, and Friede decided to confront Lapras on their own. Terapagos attempted to reason with Lapras, even bringing out Arboliva and Moltres for help. Liko, Roy, and Friede were then shown another vision of Lucius. After spending time with Lapras and its friends, the Rising Volt Tacklers got ready to leave. However, Lapras decided to join them as its friends encouraged to go with them and it returned into its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos facing the Black Rayquaza]]
[[HZ033|Before setting off]], the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving to their location. However, after Amethio battled and got defeated by the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed Terapagos transforming and battling the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unfortunately, Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left. Later, Diana told Friede that she was planning to travel alone again, which he understood and accepted her decision. The next day, Liko and Roy did a training battle with Diana, which led them to victory when Sprigatito landed a hit on Diana's {{p|Arcanine}}. After the battle, Liko and Roy thanked Diana for the experience, as it will help them be better Trainers. [[HZ034|Upon hearing of Diana's departure]], Liko and Roy decided to do a surprise farewell party. Through the rest of the members help, Liko and Roy were able to surprise Diana, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log. After dropping Diana off, the Rising Volt Tacklers agree to continue their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, before doing so, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea for information on Terapagos.

[[HZ035|During their return journey to Paldea]], the Rising Volt Tacklers began to run out of funds needed to pay for supplies, so the adults decided to take some jobs in order to raise money. After Friede got a job request from a [[Shine|friend]] of his, he took the assignment with Liko and Roy accompanying him. They were able to fulfill the job and stop a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}}. [[HZ037|Also]], Friede got another job assignment from another friend of his who is the leader of a group of {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}, as they were having trouble with a group of {{p|Sandile}} and its {{p|Krokorok|evolved}} {{p|Krookodile|forms}}. Fortunately, Roy found out the problem but, to their disappointment, for this reason the Rising Volt Tacklers were no longer needed to do the job. [[HZ038|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Maushold}} when it decided to come live on the Brave Olivine until [[HZ094|it eventually]] [[HZ121|decided to go with]] Mollie. [[HZ041|In addition]], Dot was reunited with her mother, as she came to bring her home because her time with the team was a trial period, but let her stay as a permanent member of the team, after seeing her friendship with her Pokémon partners, Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}, Liko, and Roy, and having a battle against each other.
[[File:HZ045.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the first time]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back in Paldea. [[HZ042|Sometime after returning to Paldea]], the [[HZ043|team]] [[HZ044|learned]] of the Explorers' plan to capture the Black Rayquaza and decided to investigate a mysterious tower they had built near Levincia. However, when Friede entered the tower, it turned out to actually be a trap set up by Spinel, locking Friede up inside while the rest of the Explorers admins started the capture operation at a lighthouse outside of Levincia. Liko, Roy, and Ludlow hurried to the site to stop them, with the rest of the team moving the Brave Olivine to the site as well to allow Dot to jump down to the lighthouse and use a shutdown program on the device the Explorers had used to summon Rayquaza. While Friede successfully escaped from Spinel's trap and Roy managed to stop [[Chalce]] from catching Rayquaza, things quickly took a turn for the worse when Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower started devastating the scenery and [[Coral]] made a reckless attack on Rayquaza in a rage by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, sending Rayquaza crashing straight into the Brave Olivine and severely damaging it. Fortunately, Murdock was able to safely land the Brave Olivine. [[HZ045|After the Explorers retreated]], Liko, Roy, Dot and Friede battled Rayquaza. Despite having help from Amethio, the four of them couldn't defeat Rayquaza, and the Legendary Pokémon left once again. In the aftermath of the battle, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon and be able to use it in battle. As such, they went to study at [[Naranja Academy]], while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers focused on repairing the Brave Olivine.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ074.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] battling [[Lucius's Kleavor]]]]
[[HZ046|During]] [[HZ049|their]] [[HZ050|time]] [[HZ054|doing]] [[HZ057|repairs]] to the airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers took a group of wild {{p|Tatsugiri}} as new traveling companions. After the repairs on the Brave Olivine were finished and the younger members were done with their studies at Naranja Academy, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off to search for the Six Heroes once more in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. Their first destination was the land of [[Kitakami]], planning to meet up with the Terapagos researcher [[Briar]]. After arriving in Kitakami and [[HZ069|spending an evening]] at the local [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], the team learned from [[Carmine]] that Briar was currently at the [[Crystal Pool]] on [[Oni Mountain]]. Friede and the junior members of the team [[HZ070|subsequently]] [[HZ071|traveled]] there, meeting Briar and exchanging information about Terapagos with her. While both sides learned a lot, the Rising Volt Tacklers didn't gain any new leads, so they decided to focus on finding the remaining three members of the Six Heroes for now.

Through an unexpected stroke of luck, Dot discovered that a photographer named [[Perrin]] had seen {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in Kitakami. [[HZ072|Through]] [[HZ073|Perrin's help]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede found Kleavor. After some convincing from Lapras, having a battle with the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers and seeing Liko's selfness for Pokémon, Kleavor showed her, Roy, Dot, and Friede a vision of Lucius of the day they meet. Kleavor then decided to join the group and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ076.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Diana]] summoning [[Rystal]] at the [[Crystal Pool]]]]
[[HZ074|The next day]], Liko and her friends reunite with Diana, as they exchanged information about the Explorers. After returning to the Crystal Pool and were able to summon [[Rystal]], a member of the original Explorers, Liko and the group found out that she and Lucius were her great-great grandparents. Liko and the group then [[HZ075|listened]] to Rystal telling everyone how she formed the Explorers with Lucius and [[Gibeon]] and they were able to reach Laqua. However, Liko and the group had to bid farewell to Rystal when she had to return to her proper time. Liko and the group then bid farewell to Diana, as she intended to continue traveling her own way. [[HZ076|Through Wy-Yes's help]], the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head to [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] region in order to search for {{p|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Johto. [[HZ078|After falling to find Entei in Johto]], the Rising Volt Tacklers head back to Paldea when Briar revealed that a Pokémon similar to Entei had been spotted in [[Area Zero]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|170px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the second time]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea. After Liko, Roy, and Dot defeated [[Geeta]], together with Friede, [[HZ080|they entered Area Zero]] and met up with Briar. [[HZ081|Upon finding the Pokémon similar to Entei]], they realized that it was a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. The four Rising Volt Tacklers battled Gouging Fire when it wanted to test their strength. Through their teamwork, they defeated Gouging Fire, who showed them a vision of when it first met Lucius. Gouging Fire then decided to join the group and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, it and the rest of the Six Heroes come out to summon the Black Rayquaza, who arrived at the group's location. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede [[HZ082|battled]] the Black Rayquaza once again and, after a tough battle, they were able to return Rayquaza to its Ancient Poké Ball. Rayquaza then showed them a vision of the original Explorers reaching Laqua. The group then bid farewell to Briar and, following Rayquaza, [[HZ083|made their way to the paradise]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Amethio]] battling [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]]]]
In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', after stopping at [[Pericarp Town]] near Laqua, Friede and the younger members journeyed to the paradise, with the Six Heroes helping along the way. [[HZ085|Upon entering Laqua]], Friede and the younger members explored until they came across the barrier, which Pagogo removed. [[HZ086|However]], Friede and the younger members were then confronted by the Explorers. [[HZ087|Although they were able to defeat the Explorers admins]], Friede and the younger members were too late to prevent Gibeon from reaching the [[Laquium]]. Fortunately, Gibeon's [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] was only trying to free Lucius from the Laquium. Friede and the younger members met Lucius, as he explained to them that he was able to see the outside world through Zygarde. Due to Friede's partners going berserk from the Laquium and knocking each other out, the younger members with Amethio battled Gibeon. [[HZ088|However]], Zygarde forfeited the battle because it was testing their strength and resolve, as it bid its Trainer farewell and disassembled itself.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Spinel released his own supply of Laquium that he had gathered after Pagogo and the Six Heroes purified the land. This act caused the Six Heroes, barring Rayquaza, to go berserk and indiscriminately attack anything in their sight. Rayquaza shielded the Rising Volt Tacklers from its comrades' attacks and ordered them to escape, but as the Brave Olivine attempted to leave, a strong gust of wind caught Friede and his Pokémon off-guard. Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the ship. Afterwards, the group started flying around the area looking for Friede, but couldn't find him. Meanwhile, Spinel had the entire area around Laqua closed off, and later publicly framed the Rising Volt Tacklers for the destruction at Laqua, casting them as a dangerous group to the public eye. With their original task completed and being unable to function without Friede, the group made the decision to disband; Liko returned to [[Indigo Academy]], Roy going on a [[HZ112|training]] [[HZ113|journey]] [[HZ114|in the]] [[Kalos]] region, and Dot returning to her home.
[[File:Re-formed Rising Volt Tacklers MV.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers re-formed by Roy, Dot, and Liko]]
A year after the events at Laqua, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Dot and Roy discovered a case of Laquium affecting a wild {{p|Slaking}}, and after the boy and [[Ult]] defeated it, Roy decided to visit the Indigo Academy to ask for Liko's help in finding more signs of Laquium. [[HZ091|After reuniting with her]], Roy explained the situation. At first, Liko refused to help him and Dot, as she was accustomed to being at Indigo Academy and didn't want everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler out of fear of bearing the group's tarnished reputation. However, after seeing Roy battling [[Ann]] and having a battle against him herself, Liko ultimately decided to join and assist in clearing the group's name while revealing the truth to the public.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Liko and Roy tracked down a Laquium sign that Dot found, and ended up battling a pair of Laquium affected {{p|Steelix}}, alongside Ult, who had been following Roy. In the process, Roy and Ult showcased [[Mega Evolution]], with Liko learning about it for the first time.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy reunited with Mollie, who had returned to the family Pokémon Center at [[Mochew City]]. Mollie disapproved of their decision to restart the team, but after working together to calm a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Vileplume}} down, ultimately respected their decision. The two offered her a spot back in the team, but she declined for the time being, as she knew that she needed to be at the Pokémon Center. Before they parted ways, she promised to them that she would return when the team was fully reunited.
[[File:Ult joins Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|[[Ult]] joining the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', after Ult saw the effects of the [[Strong Sphere]] on Pokémon, he saved Liko and Roy after their Pokémon were defeated in a [[Double Battle]] by Coral and Sidian. He proceeded to join the two on their journey. In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', after Liko and Roy reunited with the Black Rayquaza, which was under the protection of [[Team Dragon Rampage]], Dot called and informed the two that Murdock had returned to [[Cortondo]] to work with [[Katy]]. In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', the three and Ult met with Murdock at Cortondo. Like Mollie, Murdock disapproved of their decision to restart the team, despite Liko's insistence that they knew what they were getting into. Katy suggested a Pokémon battle to alleviate Murdock's concerns, and in the official rematch, Liko defeated Katy. Impressed by her growth, Murdock ultimately respected their decision and informed them that the Brave Olivine had been dismantled, with its parts being stored in Galar. With this knowledge in hand, the group decided to look for Orla and left Cortondo. Murdock confessed to Katy that he wanted to travel with them despite the fact that he suggested that they disband after the events in Laqua, fearing that he would hold them back. Katy told Murdock that the others had already done so despite their circumstances, causing him to realize the meaning of her words.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult went to Galar to look for Orla, and it was revealed that Orla had lied about the ship's condition. Rather than dismantling it, she had kept it hidden in a forest, maintaining it from time to time, and the wild Pokémon (apart from Maushold) remained onboard. [[HZ100|After Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult defeated two members of the Explorers]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], Orla decided to join them in officially re-forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as the five worked together to clean and rebuild the Brave Olivine. Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned to the team, with Ult deciding to become an official member of the group. Dot then discovered a message had been sent to their app a month prior. After decrypting it and showing it to everyone else, they found out that it was from Friede, who was revealed to be alive and well but in hiding from the Explorers.
[[File:Young Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult deciding to train at [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea through Dot's suggestion in going to Naranja Academy because everyone there knows the Explorers true nature. Although Dot is able to give Geeta and Clavell the information she had on Laquium and while they understand the situation, they aren't able to help them further without more evidence, but they recommended asking [[Jacq]] for help in their research, which he accepted. Dot also gets a map of Paldea from Penny that shows Laquium Signs around the region. [[HZ102|After returning to the Brave Olivine]], the younger members decided to check out a Laquium Sign near their location. During their investigation, Dot reminds everyone that they need funds to travel around if they want to spread the truth about Laquium, as Roy remembers that most of their funds came from Friede and Captain Pikachu doing various jobs. Later, after Liko, her Pokémon and a {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, who decided to become one of her partners, stopped the Laquium Sign, Dot gets a video message from Iono asking for a handshake event as their next collaboration, which she reluctantly agrees to hold it as a [[HZ103|means to earn some money]]. Also, a wild {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} stowed away on the Brave Olivine until Dot decided to [[HZ105|add it to her team]].

[[HZ106|After]] [[HZ107|Roy and Ult infiltrated an Explorers base]], Diana [[HZ108|comes]] for a visit to give the Rising Volt Tacklers information on how to eliminate Laquium once and for all. Also, Diana tells the Rising Volt Tacklers that Spinel has the remaining Six Heroes held captive with Ult backing up her claim, as he saw Lapras and Kleavor trapped in boxes when he was in the Explorers base. Wanting to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to find which Exceed building they are being held in, as they realized that Spinel moved them in order to prevent them from finding them. Liko suggests they ask [[Cervantis]], the former Exceed director and Amethio's father, which they agreed. [[HZ109|However]], Liko, Roy, and Ult walked into a trap the Explorers set up for them by faking an email sent by Cervantis. Liko, Roy, and Ult [[HZ110|were forced to battle]] five of the Six Heroes when they used a new improved Strong Sphere called Super Strong Sphere on them to turn them against them. Despite their efforts and help from Amethio, Liko, Roy, and Ult's Pokémon are knocked out by five of the Six Heroes with Coral and Sidian's help. However, the effects of the Super Strong Sphere on five of the Six Heroes wears off and the Explorers left with them. Despite the loss, Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot [[HZ112|decided]] to do battle training at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region after getting a call from Briar. Also, Liko revealed to Roy and Dot that their friend Ann is at Blueberry Academy as an exchange student.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited with Friede]]
In [[HZ115]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Unova, as the older members dropped off the junior members at Blueberry Academy while they docked near a town for repairs and supplies.

In [[HZ119]], the Rising Volt Tacklers, along with Penny and Carmine, attended a meeting with Briar whom explained that Diana's theory about Pagogo possibly needing to resonate with eighteen Pokémon Types was only half correct. Briar clarified that Pagogo needed to resonate with eighteen different Tera Types from Pokémon at the level of the Six Heroes in order to completely purify Laquium. After leaving Blueberry Academy and [[HZ120|Dot with Penny obtained data on Laquium]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got a message from Friede that he was coming back. Friede then revealed to his teammates that he was returning from space. [[HZ121|When Friede ran into trouble returning to Earth]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived to his rescue and were able to get him back onto the Brave Olivine safely. [[HZ122|After exchanging information]], Friede and Roy had a battle, which the latter won. Later, Friede decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region to give respect for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and go to the [[Devon Corporation]] to analyze the data on Laquium that he got from space. Friede decided to leave the Rising Volt Tacklers to Captain Pikachu and Roy, with the latter officially being recognised as the new leader.

In [[HZ124]], the younger members and Amethio staged a rescue mission for the reamning Six Heroes, as they were able to get into the Explorers HQ where they were being held in. However, the five end up walking into a trap set up by Spinel, as they face off a high ranking member of the Explorers and a Six Hero. [[HZ125|Through their efforts]], the five were able to save the remaining Six Heroes and let them the roam the world so they would be safe from the Explorers. Although, the remaining heroes promise Zygarde to lend their strength at Laqua when the time comes. However, Spinel used the confrontation with the younger members to frame them again, making things worse for their reputation and forcing them to go into hiding from the public.
[[File:Roy and his friends.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers setting off on the Brave Olivine once again]]
In [[HZ126]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea, but had to keep a low profile due to Spinel's lies. The younger members go back to Naranja Academy to stop them from selling Strong Spheres while the older members stay with the Brave Olivine in Levincia with Iono's help in keeping their airship hidden from the public. In [[HZ128]], Liko, Roy and Ult decided to return to Johto to reunite with the Black Rayquaza while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers stay at Paldea. In [[HZ129]], after arriving at the [[Dragon's Den]] and helping the Black Rayquaza recover, Roy and Ult battled the Legendary Pokémon as they gave everything they got to prove themselves to it. Eventually, Roy came on top and caught the Black Rayquaza with its approval. Roy then let Rayquaza go to gather the remaining Six Heroes while he, Ult, and Liko returned to their teammates at Paldea.

In [[HZ130]], Liko, Roy, and Ult saw that Strong Sphere has been released to the public, while Dot saw it through a battle at Levincia. The younger members discussed the eighteen Tera Types as they realized that they had seventeen, missing {{t|Poison}}. Upon getting mochi from Maushold, the younger members decided that Diana's {{p|Pecharunt}} would be perfect for the Poison Tera Type. Later, the Rising Volt Tacklers got a call from Friede, informing that he was almost finished with his own investigation and would be joining back up with them soon, much to their excitement. In [[HZ131]], the Rising Volt Tacklers were joined up by Wy-Yes and Perrin as they decided to join them in stopping the Explorers. After lending his Rotom Phone to [[Yanga]], Friede met [[Master Mayonnaise]], who decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their quest as well. Once the Brave Olivine was finished with the upgrades as Friedie dubbed it as its Rising Again mode, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for Galar to ask Diana for help. Upon arriving, the Rising Volt Tacklers asked Diana for her help, which she accepted. After spending some time training at Diana's place, the Rising Volt Tacklers bid farewell to Master Mayonnaise and the group head off for Laqua.

==Team roster==
===Active members===
This list is of the team members who are part of the team. Although they disbanded for a year after [[Friede]]'s disappearance, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Captain Pikachu]] have re-formed the Rising Volt Tacklers themselves in order to stop the influence of [[Laquium]] on Pokémon and clear the group's name in the public eye. Most of the adults returned in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' after being inspired by the younger members' determination while Friede returned in [[HZ121]] but left temporarily in the [[HZ122|next episode]] until [[HZ131]].

==Pokémon==
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|A majority of the Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon]]
Four of the older members of the Rising Volt Tacklers (except  Wy-Yes), and Ult have at least two Pokémon partners while Friede and Dot have three on their teams. Liko and Roy are the only members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who have four Pokémon partners on their teams, although Roy's {{p|Rayquaza}} is currently roaming the world. There are also thirteen individual wild Pokémon (of eleven species) who live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu and Friede's Charizard led both the Pokémon that belong to the rest of members on the team and the group who live on the Brave Olivine. Although, during Charizard's absences, Roy's Skeledirge stepped up in helping Captain Pikachu led both Pokémon groups.

So far, three of the Pokémon that originally lived on the Brave Olivine as [[wild]] Pokémon have since been caught by three members of the team, namely {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Maushold}}, which have been caught by Roy, Dot, and Mollie. Also, the majority of the Rising Volt Tacklers have a [[Rotom Phone]], the only exceptions being Ludlow, Wy-Yes and Friede (the latter is temporarily lending his Rotom Phone to [[Yanga]]). In addition, Dot and Liko can use {{Tera}}stallization while Ult can use [[Mega Evolution]]. Friede and Roy are the only members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who can use both Terastallization and Mega Evolution.

'''Captain Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''キャプテンピカチュウ''' ''Captain Pikachu''), simply referred to as '''Cap''' (Japanese: '''キャップ''' ''Cap''), is [[Friede]]'s partner Pokémon and his second known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He sits in the chair on the bridge of the [[Brave Olivine]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' ship, and is responsible for navigating it when Friede is not present. He is also co-leader of the Pokémon who belong to Friede's teammates and the group that live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu is almost always seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}. He is a founding member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which is named after his {{m|Volt Tackle|signature move}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Captain Pikachu was living in the [[Paldea]] region, but dreamt of flying and kept trying to do so using his {{m|Volt Tackle}}. One day, Pikachu met [[Friede]], who offered his friendship, but Pikachu didn't accept it. However, Pikachu changed his mind when Friede offered food and help in making his dream come true. After being able to fly successfully, Captain Pikachu accepted Friede's request to be his partner and was caught. Captain Pikachu's dream of flying using Volt Tackle inspired Friede to approach [[Ludlow]] and [[Orla]] about constructing the [[Brave Olivine]] and forming the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to fly around and explore the world, with Captain Pikachu being one of its founding members. Later, Captain Pikachu would meet [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Captain Pikachu met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as she joined the team.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|left|250px|Captain Pikachu and Friede]]
=====With Friede=====
In ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', Friede used Captain Pikachu to battle against [[Amethio]] after he and [[Explorers|his group]] had boarded the [[Brave Olivine]] to coerce [[Liko]] to come with them. He battled against {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, but the battle was ultimately halted by Liko, who felt responsible for all the trouble happening around her. In the [[HZ003|next episode]], he once went up against Amethio's Ceruledge. This time, however, it was merely a distraction so that Liko could sneak around the Explorers' hideout for the moment and find her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, who had been taken hostage by the group. Once they reunited, the battle ended with Friede and Captain Pikachu making their escape.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Captain Pikachu partook in a training battle against [[Roy]] and Liko, going up against {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and Sprigatito. By using {{m|Double Team}}, Captain Pikachu avoided getting hit as his opponents attacked his duplicates, tiring themselves out in the process until they became unable to battle.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Captain Pikachu battled against a {{OBP|Trainer|HZ016}}'s {{p|Bisharp}} aboard a ferry. He and Friede were looking for [[Spinel]] and Liko's pendant when this Trainer recognized and challenged them. Despite this, the two Rising Volt Tacklers did not take long to figure out that this Trainer and the one they were looking for were not one in the same, and Captain Pikachu finished off his opponent quickly.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Captain Pikachu participated in a battle against the Explorers. However, when a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared, Captain Pikachu battled it, but got injured. Fortunately, Captain Pikachu was rescued by Liko and Roy and left the [[Galar Mine]] in order for him to recover, while his Trainer and Charizard stayed behind to battle the Explorers. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Captain Pikachu meet up with Friede at the [[Motostoke]] [[Pokémon Center]], after recovering from his battle with Moltres. Captain Pikachu then battled Moltres again in order to calm it down, which they were able to do and the Legendary Pokémon return it to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Friede Charizard and Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Captain Pikachu and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Captain Pikachu stayed behind to guard the Brave Olivine while his Trainer, Liko, and Roy went to an [[ancient castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. In the [[HZ025|following episode]], he and the rest of the group arrived at the castle after Friede called upon them. Cap briefly battled [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} and set off [[Coral]]'s fury, which resulted in her commanding her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. He and his Trainer managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Captain Pikachu noticed an odd Pokémon, as he saw a strange purple liquid on the battlefield during his training with Roy's Fuecoco and Liko's Sprigatito. Later, Captain Pikachu found the Pokémon and discovered it to be a wild {{p|Polteageist}}. Hearing that Polteageist wanted to battle {{p|Shuckle}}, Captain Pikachu let them and invited some of the other Pokémon, including [[Murdock's Rockruff]] and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}}, to watch. However, the battle was called off, but Captain Pikachu and his friends welcomed Polteageist to the group, as they were joined by Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and [[Dot's Quaxly]] in the celebration.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Captain Pikachu fought against Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} after getting trapped in a tower with him. By allowing Umbreon to send Cap crashing into a wall and then hitting the wall with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Cap was able to create an opening that allowed Friede to escape.

In ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}}, winning the battle without much difficulty.

In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used alongside Charizard to fend off a pack of {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Houndour}} impeding the group's search for [[Lucius's Kleavor]].
[[File:Captain Pikachu Lightning Rod.png|thumb|250px|left|{{a|Lightning Rod}} activated]]
In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Captain Pikachu teamed up with {{p|Floragato}}, {{p|Crocalor}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} in order to battle an {{p|Entei}} the Rising Volt Tacklers believed to be one of the Six Heroes. Using his speed and agility, Captain Pikachu kept the other Pokémon protected from Entei's powerful attacks. Although everyone managed to prove their strength to Entei, neither Pagogo nor the other Heroes resonated with it, confirming that Entei was not the one that belonged to Lucius.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Captain Pikachu battled [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] and was able to help the rest of the younger members' Pokémon pass its trial, eventually earning Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|next episode]], Captain Pikachu joined the fight against Black Rayquaza, holding his own against the Legendary Pokemon and even managing to singlehandedly land a direct hit with Volt Tackle, but he was ultimately defeated by {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Captain Pikachu partnered with Charizard in a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel's Umbreon and {{p|Beheeyem}}. After Pikachu revealed his {{a|Lightning Rod}} [[Hidden Ability]], Spinel had his Beheeyem use {{m|Skill Swap}} to acquire it, effectively rendering Pikachu's damage-dealing moves useless; in the process, Pikachu received {{a|Telepathy}}. Knowing Lightning Rod would have Beheeyem teleporting in front of incoming {{type|Electric}} moves, Friede was able to create a plan: Pikachu targeted Umbreon with a Thunder Punch, luring Beheeyem into getting near, while Charizard {{Tera}}stallized and unleashed a {{type|Dark}} {{m|Tera Blast}} in their direction, which knocked out Beheeyem and left Umbreon barely standing. Due to Telepathy's effect, Pikachu was able to dodge its ally's attack and soon finished off the remaining opponent with a Volt Tackle. However, the battle left Friede's Pokémon exhausted, and in the [[HZ087|next episode]], the two weakened Pokémon went berserk due to the [[Laquium]]'s mist and attacked each other, knocking each other out and forcing Friede to [[recall]] them.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Captain Pikachu, Friede, and Charizard were caught in a heavy gust of wind as they were trying get aboard the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Cap to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the airship. Captain Pikachu and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways. One year later, it was revealed that Cap, now wearing Friede's goggles, was being taken care of by Roy.

=====Traveling with Roy=====
[[File:Captain Pikachu and Roy.png|250px|thumb|Captain Pikachu and Roy]]
As revealed in ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]'', Captain Pikachu accompanied Roy to his travels to [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region to learn about [[Mega Evolution]], and occasionally engaged in battle whenever Roy required him to, but mostly remained on the sidelines to allow Roy and his Pokémon to undergo their much-desired training.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Captain Pikachu battled alongside Roy and [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}} against a {{p|Slaking}} affected by Laquium.

In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Captain Pikachu discovered that [[Friede]] and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} were still alive, and soon joined the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in celebrating with renewed hope.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used alongside the rest of Roy, Liko, and [[Ult]]'s Pokémon to battle against five of the Six Heroes, who were under the influence of the Super [[Strong Sphere]]s. Together, they stalled for time to allow Pagogo to purify the Laquium away from the heroes' bodies, but the Explorers used the Super Strong Spheres once more on them. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], despite its efforts, Captian Pikachu gets knocked out by Gouging Fire when he attempted to protect Ult from the Paradox Pokémon.

In [[HZ121]], Captain Pikachu watched as the Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to stop Friede's spaceship from crash-landing on the ground after its parachute system failed. They failed, however, and just as the spaceship started to fall towards the ground, Captain Pikachu desperately rushed towards it with Volt Tackle in an attempt to catch it, but fell short of reaching it. Thankfully, Pagogo fired off a [[Terastal energy]] sphere towards Captain Pikachu that allowed him to {{Tera}}stallize into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], which in turn allowed him to fly towards Friede and catch the spaceship with his hands. With Roy's help, Captain Pikachu redirected the spaceship right into the Brave Olivine's invisible barrier. After Friede reunited with his friends, Captain Pikachu ran towards him with Volt Tackle, smashing him against the invisible barrier. With tears in his eyes, Cap reunited with his {{pkmn|Trainer}} after over a year. When Friede [[HZ122|revealed]] that he needed to return to [[Hoenn]] to finish his prior business, he left Captain Pikachu under Roy's care again.

In [[HZ124]], Captain Pikachu teamed up with Roy's Lucario and Ult's Sableye to help Roy, Ult, [[Amethio]], and the girls mission to save the reamning Six Heroes from the Explorers, as they battle the grunts. Despite the three defeating the grunts, Captain Pikachu came in no shape to continue the mission, as he watched their efforts, even into the [[HZ125|next episode]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Captain Pikachu allergy.png|thumb|left|250px|Captain Pikachu's "allergy" to being called cute]]
Captain Pikachu is often seen with [[Friede]] and shares a close bond with him. However, the two can disagree at times, which has led them to clash and butt heads with each other. Despite this, Captain Pikachu and Friede trust each other enough to know their intentions, as they would devise a plan, even though they would sometimes ad lib the plan. His closeness with Friede is shown again in [[HZ121]], when he used {{m|Volt Tackle}} on him and sent him crashing into the Brave Olivine's barrier, and almost cried with tears in his eyes seeing his trainer as Friede apologized to Cap for leaving him all alone, a complete contrast to his usual composed and mature demeanor. In addition to Friede, Captain Pikachu seems to be great friends with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, as he enjoys hanging out with it and would usually train with it whenever they could. Ever since he had been placed in [[Roy]]'s care, the Electric Mouse Pokémon has become close to him as well. Like Friede, Captain Pikachu is especially fond of Liko and Roy, often praising them and their Pokémon when they achieve a certain goal.
[[File:Captain Pikachu crying.png|thumb|250px|Captain Pikachu crying upon seeing Friede again for the first time in over a year]]
Captain Pikachu is shown to be diligent and responsible, as he seems to take his position of captain seriously, being easily distinguished from the rest of his {{p|Pikachu|species}} for wearing a captain's beret outside of battles. Captain Pikachu is also intelligent and powerful, and has been shown to battle on equal terms with [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] several times. In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', his intelligence was at full display, as Captain Pikachu managed to figure out from the battle style alone that his opponent was not the one he and Friede were looking for. Pikachu has also been shown to be independent, capable of battling competently without the need of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands. In his time with Roy, Pikachu had no problem listening to his temporary caretaker's commands, and proved to be reliable backup to Roy's Pokémon when fighting strong [[wild Pokémon]], such as ones afflicted by [[Laquium]]. Compared to other Pikachu like [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Captain Pikachu prefers using [[Physical move|physical]] {{t|Electric}} [[move]]s like {{m|Volt Tackle}} and fighting at close range. When cooperating with others, Pikachu is shown to be selfless and willing to shield his partners from harm, as shown in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'' when he took a direct hit from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Entei}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to protect [[Roy's Crocalor]]. In the same battle, Captain Pikachu was shown to have above-average stamina for his species, being able to withstand a {{status|burn}} from Sacred Fire and keep fighting.

As co-leader of both the Pokémon that belong to Friede's teammates and the group that live on the [[Brave Olivine]], Captain Pikachu usually keeps things in order with both groups. Captain Pikachu has been shown to be friendly with both people and Pokémon, and he is welcoming to new members, as shown in ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', when he, along with the Pokémon living on the Brave Olivine and some of his Trainer's teammates' Pokémon, welcomed a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Polteageist}} to the group. In addition, Captain Pikachu is protective of the airship, as seen in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when he attacked Roy after he caught him sneaking around it. With Friede absent, Captain Pikachu has served as a more mature voice of reason among the group, sometimes helping to calm tempers in an argument.

Captain Pikachu is characterized by usually wearing a sassy expression on his face, and has a habit of standing on his tail, especially when he is sitting on the chair at the captain's deck. As revealed in ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Captain Pikachu has a kind of "allergy" when he is called "cute" or when this characteristic is noticed, he starts sneezing and ends up losing focus on what he was doing. Despite his usual serious demeanor, Captain Pikachu does enjoys having fun and doing various activities with his friends, such as surfing with [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''.

Captain Pikachu also displayed great physical strength when he was able to lift Friede's spaceship with his new Tera Flying typing and managed to land it within the Brave Olivine's Force Field on the Battlefield, showing Captain Pikachu's strength is beyond that of a normal Pikachu. Captian Pikachu had a dream of flying, having used Volt Tackle to get up to the sky everyday [[HZ018|prior]] to meeting Friede and enjoys looking out on the Brave Olivine.

[[File:Terastal phenomenon.png|thumb|300px|{{ga|Juliana}} Terastallizing {{p|Eevee}}]]
The '''Terastal phenomenon''' or '''Terastallization''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') is a temporary transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that was introduced during [[Generation IX]], in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. It [[Type change|changes the type]] of a Pokémon into its Tera Type and grants it a crystallized appearance. Terastallization has also appeared in the {{spin-off games|spin-off game}} {{g|Masters EX}}, as well as in the [[side series]] title {{g|Champions}}.

==Etymology==
The name "Terastal" likely derives from the Japanese word '''照らす''' ''terasu'' (to illuminate; to shine) and the English word ''crystal''. It may also be derived from the prefix ''tera-'', possibly in reference to previously introduced temporary transformation mechanics, [[Gigantamax]] and [[Mega Evolution]], which are named after subsequent {{wp|SI prefixes}}.

==Terminology==
The following are terms related to this game mechanic.
* '''Terastal phenomenon''' or '''Terastallization''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') is the transformation.
* '''Terastallize''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルする''' ''Terastallize'') is the related verb for this transformation.
* '''Tera Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルポケモン''' ''Terastal Pokémon''), also known as '''Terastallized Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルしたポケモン''' ''Terastallized Pokémon''), are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} affected by this transformation.
* '''Terastallized state''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルした姿''' ''Terastallized appearance'') refers to the crystallized appearance of a Pokémon after Terastallizing. Two Pokémon ({{p|Ogerpon}} and {{p|Terapagos}}) have unique Terastallized states that further change their appearance.
* '''[[Terastal energy]]''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルエネルギー''' ''Terastal energy'') is the energy involved in this transformation.
* The '''[[#Tera Type|Tera Type]]''' (Japanese: '''テラスタイプ''' ''Teras Type'') is the [[type]] of the Terastallized Pokémon.
* The '''[[#Tera Jewels|Tera Jewel]]''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルジュエル''' ''Terastal Jewel'') is the jewel on top of the head of a Terastallized Pokémon.
* The '''[[Tera Orb]]''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルオーブ''' ''Terastal Orb'') is the [[Key Item]] that allows a Pokémon to Terastallize.
* A '''[[Tera Shard]]''' (Japanese: '''テラピース''' ''Tera Piece'') is an [[:Category:Tera Shards|item]] that changes a Pokémon's Tera Type. There are 19 Tera Shards, one for each type, including the {{t|Stellar}} type.
* A '''[[Tera Raid Battle]]''' (Japanese: '''テラレイドバトル''' ''Tera Raid Battle'') is a kind of [[Pokémon battle]] in which four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} Tera Pokémon.
* '''{{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}''' (Japanese: '''テラスタルフォーム''' ''Terastal Form'') is a form taken in battle by Terapagos through its Tera Shift Ability.
* There are two moves related to this phenomenon:
** '''{{m|Tera Blast}}''' (Japanese: '''テラバースト''' ''Tera Burst'') is a move that changes its type to match the user's Tera Type.
** '''{{m|Tera Starstorm}}''' (Japanese: '''テラクラスター''' ''Tera Cluster'') is Terapagos's [[signature move]]. It becomes Stellar-type when Terapagos changes into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}.
* There are three {{Abilities}} related to this phenomenon, all [[Signature Ability|exclusive]] to {{p|Terapagos}}:
** '''{{a|Tera Shift}}''' (Japanese: '''テラスチェンジ''' ''Tera Change'') is {{form|Terapagos|Normal Form}} Terapagos' Ability. It causes Terapagos to change into its Terastal Form when it enters battle.
** '''{{a|Tera Shell}}''' (Japanese: '''テラスシェル''' ''Tera Shell'') is Terastal Form Terapagos' Ability. It causes all [[damage]]-dealing moves to become [[Type#Type effectiveness|not very effective]] on Terapagos while its [[HP]] is full.
** '''{{a|Teraform Zero}}''' (Japanese: '''ゼロフォーミング''' ''Zero-Forming'') is exclusive Stellar Form Terapagos' Ability. It negates all effects of [[weather]] and [[terrain]].

Some examples of in-game dialogue from {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}:
* ''"When it is charged with energy, it can be used to cause Pokémon to '''Terastallize'''."'' (excerpt from the description of [[Tera Orb]])
* ''"If the user has '''Terastallized''', it unleashes energy of its '''Tera Type'''."'' (excerpt from the description of {{m|Tera Blast}})
* ''"If an opponent’s Pokémon '''Terastallizes''' during battle... observe a Pokémon's '''Tera Jewel''' closely to see which type it has become!"'' ([[Hassel]])
* ''"'''Terastallizing''' gives a real boost, see!"'' ([[Nemona]])

==Tera Jewels==
Tera Jewels are large crystal crowns that form atop a Terastallized {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s head. Each Tera Type possesses a different Tera Jewel to represent it, which contains two basic structures: the crown band that acts as the Tera Jewel's base, and the gem that stands above the band. Save for the {{t|Stellar}} type, each Tera Jewel's base has a hexagonal crystal on the front, with a pair of angry-looking eyes on it.

===Unique Terastallized states===
Some Pokémon species have unique Terastallized states which change their appearance significantly upon Terastallizing, beyond the standard crystallized appearance of Terastallization. Additionally, the Pokémon's [[Ability]] changes after Terastallization. There is no official name for this class of Terastallized state. Unlike other Pokémon, the few ones with a unique Terastallized state are the only ones which cannot have their Tera Types changed in [[Treasure Eatery]].

{{p|Ogerpon}} and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Pokémon known to have their own distinct Terastallized states. Ogerpon's Tera Type changes depending on the mask that it is currently holding. While Ogerpon's Terastallized states are not recognized as separate forms in the [[Pokédex]], Terapagos's Terastallized state is uniquely recognized as its Stellar Form.

===History===
{{spoilers}}
The Terastal pehnomenon originated in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], with a {{P|Terapagos}}, the {{Ga|Terapagos|last of its kind}}, being the source of [[Terastal energy]]. 2,000,000 years ago, in a bygone era, seismic shifts started to occur, which was said to have doomed the species to near extinction. Initially, this species was believed to have disappeared due to being caught up in these seismic shifts. However, it seems that this Terapagos protected itself by changing the energy in its body into hard crystals and going into hibernation in [[Area Zero Underdepths]]. The Terastal phenomenon was first discovered 140 years ago in the form of a Terastallized Pokémon in [[Area Zero]], in the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]. However, attempts to remove Terastallized Pokémon from the crater caused the light to disappear and it to transform back to normal. Further details of the Terastal phenomenon thus remained unclear for a while.

10 years prior the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, [[Professor Sada]]{{Sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{Sup/9|V}} began investigating the phenomenon, and discovered that the energy emitted from shining crystals in Area Zero is what triggers it. They also discover Terapagos slumbering in Area Zero Underdepths in the form of a crystal. The [[Tera Orb]]s were then created by the professor from the Terastal energy with support from [[Clavell|director Clavell]]. This allowed people to Terastallize their Pokémon outside of Area Zero. The Tera Orb was then shared to the [[Paldea League]] and [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}. At some point, the Terastal energy was used by the professor to create a [[time machine]], bringing in [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} or [[Multiverse|parallel timelines]], including a pair of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. They also used it to create an AI replica of themselves to help with their research.

It was later revealed that the Terastal phenomenon can also occur in [[Kitakami]] thanks to the [[Crystal Pool]], whose waters were infused in ancient times with foreign gems, likely Terastal crystals brought from Paldea. The phenomenon has been also replicated by technological means in the grounds of [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]], through the use of materials from Paldea and Kitakami.

The crystalline petals of {{p|Glimmora}} seem to resemble the Tera Jewels that appear during the Terastal phenomenon. It is unknown if there is a connection between Glimmora and the Terastal phenomenon, though many of them (along with its pre-[[Evolution]], {{p|Glimmet}}) can be found in Area Zero, the place where the phenomenon originated. Additionally, eight [[TM Material|Glimmet Crystal]]s are needed to make {{TM|171|Tera Blast}}, a move that changes its type when a Pokémon Terastallizes.

The [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} makes cryptic hints that it may be linked to an unknown Pokémon resembling a disk made of layers of overlapping hexagons. [[Area Zero journals|A journal in Research Station No. 1]] further implies its existence and relationship to the phenomenon. This Pokémon is ultimately confirmed to be Terapagos. A nineteenth Tera Type, the {{t|Stellar}} type, was later discovered and named by Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_tera_type/ A ''Nineteenth'' Tera Type Has Been Discovered! | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref>
{{endspoilers}}

===Effects===
[[Pokémon Trainer]]s who obtain a [[Tera Orb]] are able to use it to Terastallize their Pokémon, which makes a Tera Jewel appear above the Pokémon's head and causes the Pokémon's body to glisten like polished, faceted gemstones. This changes the Pokémon's defensive [[type]](s) to its Tera Type, removing all other types, but gives it a weakness to {{type|Stellar}} [[move]]s, which can only be used by Stellar-type Tera Pokémon. Terastallized Pokémon are identified by having "Tera" in front of their name.

While Terastallized, Pokémon receive [[STAB]] on moves matching their Tera Type, in addition to moves matching their original types. The original types are the types they had immediately before Terastallizing (taking type changes into account but ignoring {{m|Forest's Curse}}) or their base types if they were sent on the field while Terastallized. If the Pokémon's Tera Type is the same as one of its original types, moves of that type receive a ×2 damage boost instead of the usual ×1.5.<ref name="Terastal">[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/terastal_phenomenon/ Pokémon Shine and Glimmer Like Gems Thanks to the Terastal Phenomenon | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref>

Terastallization takes [[priority]] over all moves.

During this time, {{a|Adaptability}} works only for the Tera Type (with ×1.5 becoming ×2, and ×2 becoming ×2.25). Additionally, moves of the Tera Type that have a [[base power]] below 60 are increased to 60 base power; this is checked for after {{a|Technician}}'s boost <ref>https://twitter.com/skittyve/status/1599911349764571137</ref>. The boost does not apply to [[multistrike move]]s or moves with increased [[priority]]. [[:Category:Moves that power up|Moves that increase in power]] (such as {{m|Rollout}}) are boosted if its base power would be below 60 when used, but moves with [[:Category:Moves that have variable power|variable power based on other factors]] (such as {{m|Water Spout}}) are not boosted, regardless of what its base power would be when used. Pokémon can only have one Tera Type. The move {{m|Tera Blast}} changes type to the Pokémon's innate Tera Type upon Terastallizing.<ref>(August 21, 2022) "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/master_terastal/ Master Using the Terastal Phenomenon in Battle!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref>

Terastallized Pokémon cannot have their type changed from moves and Abilities such as {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, {{A|Imposter}}, {{a|Protean}}, or {{m|Transform}}. A Pokémon using {{m|Transform}} before Terastallizing will not copy its opponent's Tera Type and will instead keep its own.

Similar to [[Mega Evolution]], the Terastal phenomenon lasts until the battle ends or the Terastallized Pokémon faints. After being used once, the Tera Orb loses all its Terastal energy and has to be recharged by either touching crystals containing Terastal energy or by visiting a [[Pokémon Center]].<ref name=Terastal/> An exception to this can be found in Area Zero, where the Tera Orb will automatically recharge at the end of each battle after it is used. Upon capturing Terapagos at the end of [[The Indigo Disk]], the Tera Orb will be infused with Terapagos' energy and will no longer require charging.

After beating the [[Medali Gym]], the player can change their Pokémon's Tera Type at the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]] by exchanging 50 [[Tera Shard]]s of a given type with the chef. However, the Tera Type of {{p|Ogerpon}} and {{p|Terapagos}} cannot be changed.

The Terastal phenomenon is currently only known to be found in certain areas of the [[Pokémon world]]: [[Paldea]], due to the [[Terastal energy]] seeping from the ground of the region<ref name="Terastal" />, which was supposedly created by the {{ga|Terapagos}} slumbering within the [[Great Crater of Paldea]]; [[Kitakami]], due to the Terastal energy found in the [[Crystal Pool]], which creation is unknown; and [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]], due to the Core hanging from the roof of the [[Terarium]], which [[Briar]] created by using soil from Paldea and the water from Kitakami's Crystal Pool.

===Catching Tera Pokémon===
Normal wild Pokémon found in Paldea typically have a Tera Type that matches one of their regular types. This Tera Type does not reflect their potential [[Evolution]]s and cannot be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}}. For example, a {{p|Charcadet}} will always have a {{t|Fire}} Tera Type. Typically, there are only two ways to obtain a wild Tera Pokémon with unique typing: either catch a wild Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, or participate in a [[Tera Raid Battle]]. These Pokémon may know [[TM]] [[move]]s that match this set Tera Type.

====Wild Tera Pokémon====
''Main article: [[List of wild Tera Pokémon]]''

There are 68 {{pkmn2|wild}} Tera Pokémon scattered around Paldea, the majority with unique Tera Types. In [[Kitakami]], there are 22 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around the land. In the [[Terarium]], there are 21 wild Tera Pokémon scattered around the facility, the majority with unique Tera Types. They can be found in fixed locations and typically have Tera Types different from their base types, a notable exception being the eight [[Eeveelution]]s, who have Tera Types that match their base types, and would normally have a {{t|Normal}} Tera Type after [[Evolution|evolving]] from {{p|Eevee}}. The wild Tera Pokémon are indicated by a bright glow emitting from their bodies, which is different if the Tera Type is {{t|Stellar}}. Wild Tera Pokémon will always have a perfect 31 in at least three of their [[individual value|IVs]] and their scale value is always at least 200.

When battled against, they will immediately Terastallize. Wild Tera Pokémon cannot be caught while Terastallized. If an attack deals enough damage to drop them to 20% of maximum HP, all further damage from that attack (including from [[multistrike move]]s) will be prevented, their Tera Jewel will break, and if the Tera Pokémon has not already moved that turn, it will skip its turn. However, if indirect damage such as {{status|poison}} or {{status|burn}} reduces the Pokémon's HP below 20%, that damage will not be prevented, and a direct attack at that point has another chance to cause the Tera Jewel to break at 1 HP. Indirect damage can reduce the Pokémon to 0 HP while it still has its Tera Jewel, in which case it will faint without ever becoming catchable. When caught or defeated, the player is rewarded with [[League Point]]s, and with 10 [[Stellar Tera Shard]]s if their Tera Type is {{t|Stellar}} (other Tera Types do not reward any [[Tera Shard]]s).

Wild Tera Pokémon will eventually respawn at the same location after being caught or defeated: each real-time day, they have a chance to respawn. Contrary to other wild Tera Pokémon, {{t|Stellar}} ones do not always respawn as the same species: instead, the species is chosen at random in a pool specific for each one. Whether or not a Tera Pokémon respawns, and which species appears at Tera Stellar spawn spots, can be manipulated by soft resetting as long as the player did not get too close to the spawn spot when saving.

====Tera Raid Battle====
[[Tera Raid Battle]]s occur all over Paldea, with the locations changing at random each real-life day at midnight. These locations are indicated on the map, and in the overworld are indicated by a large, colored "shining crystal", with a beam of sparkling lights shooting into the sky.

In addition, more Tera Raid crystals spawn if the player clears out many of them and is running out of Tera Raid Battles to do. Therefore, the player can never be unable to participate in Tera Raid Battles.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
The Terastal phenomenon is embodied on [[Pasio]] in a phenomenon called '''Sync Terastal''' (Japanese: '''バディーズテラスタル'''). Through the power of bonds between Trainers and Pokémon, certain Trainers can Sync Terastallize their partner Pokémon using their [[sync stone]]. Sync pairs that can Sync Terastallize will do so as soon as they enter battle. This powers up the moves matching their Tera Type, changes one of their passive {{mas|skill}}s, and gives them access to the move {{m|Tera Blast}}. In addition, sync pairs capable of Sync Terastallization always have a variation of Tera Blast as their [[sync move]].

Sync Terastallization was introduced into the game with [[sync pair]] {{sync|Carmine|Sinistcha}}.

====Pagogo's purifying power====
{{Current event|section|anime|nocat=true}}
{{main|Laquium}}
In [[HZ119]], [[Briar]], based on [[Diana]] and [[Jacq]]'s research, theorized that [[Pagogo]]'s maximum power would be capable of eliminating [[Laquium]] from the planet. To achieve this, [[Liko]] and the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] would have to gather the power of Terastal generated by one Pokémon of each of the 18 known Tera Types.

In [[HZ125]], Liko and [[Amethio]] made a deal to meet in [[Laqua]] to unleash Pagogo's power with the help of the White Zygarde so that together they could put an end to this threat.

In [[HZ126]], Liko and her friends participated in training with the [[Elite Four]] members and began gathering allies for the final battle, among them {{an|Nemona}}, [[Ann]], and [[Penny]].

As of [[HZ132]], the following Pokémon were selected and invited for this mission:

===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
In ''[[PPW02|Breathe In]]'', during a [[rematch]] between [[Aliquis]] and [[Nemona]], both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s Terastallized their Pokémon, his {{TP|Aliquis|Meowscarada}} into a {{t|Grass}} type and her {{form|Tauros|Combat Breed}} {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} into a {{t|Fighting}} type, respectively.

In ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', a Trainer's Terastallized {{type|Electric}} {{p|Pawmot}} was seen battling against Aliquis's Terastallized Grass-type Meowscarada.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
Terastallization debuted in ''[[PASV01|Speeding! Paldea's Prince of Speed!!]]'', when {{adv|Nemona}} Terastallized her {{p|Pawmi}} into an {{t|Electric}} [[type]] to battle {{Scarlet}}, who in response, Terastallized her {{p|Pikachu}} into a {{t|Flying}} type.

In ''[[PASV05|Challenge! DJ Giacomo!!]]'', {{Violet}} used his newly-obtained [[Tera Orb]] to Terastallize his {{p|Nymble}} into a {{t|Bug}} type so it succeedes in defeating [[Giacomo]]'s Segin [[Starmobile]].

In ''[[PASV06|Skillful! The Mysterious Treasure Hunter!!]]'', [[Katy]] Terastallized her {{p|Teddiursa}} into a Bug type during her [[Gym]] battle with Scarlet.

In ''[[PASV09|Challenge! The Avant-Garde Gym Leader!!]]'', [[Brassius]] Terastallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}} into a {{t|Grass}} type during his Gym battle with Scarlet.

In [[PASV12]], [[Iono]] mentioned that her {{p|Mismagius}}'s Tera Type was {{t|Electric}}. Alongside its {{a|Levitate}} [[Ability]], she claimed it made the Magical Pokémon invincible.

In [[PASV20]], [[Larry]] Terastallized his {{p|Staraptor}} into a {{t|Normal}} type during his battle with Violet. Immediately after, Violet Terastallized his {{p|Clodsire}} into a {{t|Rock}} type.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CharizardexObsidianFlames125.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Tera {{TCG ID|Obsidian Flames|Charizard ex|125}} from {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} — note that it is {{ct|Darkness}} instead of {{ct|Fire}} like Charizard cards normally are.]]
[[File:TerapagosexStellarCrown128.jpg|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Stellar Crown|Terapagos ex|128}} from {{TCG|Stellar Crown}}, an example of a Tera Pokémon ex card in which the Terastallized Pokémon has the Stellar type.]]
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG)#Tera Pokémon ex|Pokémon ex (TCG) → Tera Pokémon ex}}

Terastallized Pokémon were first introduced in the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} and {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansions) as {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} cards. These Pokémon are known as '''Tera''' (Japanese: '''テラスタル''' ''Terastal'') Pokémon ex. While on the Bench, Tera Pokémon ex do not receive any damage from attacks done by either player.

Some Tera Pokémon ex can have {{TCG|type}}s that differ from their usual ones. These so-called "type-shifted" Tera Pokémon ex use the same Energy as their usual type for attacks, while their Weakness and Resistance change to the ones usually assigned to the shifted type. For example, {{TCG ID|Obsidian Flames|Charizard ex|125}} from {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} is a {{ct|Darkness}} Pokémon and is weak to {{ct|Grass}} (like most Darkness-type Pokémon and unlike other {{ct|Fire}} Pokémon), but its Burning Darkness attack still requires Fire-type {{TCG|Energy}}.

The English {{TCG|Stellar Crown}} expansion and the Japanese {{TCG|Stellar Miracle}} expansion introduce Terastallized Pokémon with the {{t|Stellar}} type. Cards of Terastallized Pokémon with the Stellar type have a unique distinction: each of these cards has a TCG type that follows their usual typing, as well as a uniquely powerful attack that requires three different Energy types to power it up. The Tera effect otherwise applies just the same as other Tera Pokémon ex cards.

{{cat|Cards that reference Tera Pokémon|Some cards}} have effects that reference or check for Tera Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* The Terastal phenomenon shares several similarities with [[Dynamax]]:
** Both of them were introduced in their respective [[region]]s ([[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]) due to the actions of ancient [[legendary Pokémon]] ({{p|Eternatus}} and {{p|Terapagos}}).
** Both of them make use of powerful energy sources ([[Galar particles]] and [[Terastal energy]]) and enable Pokémon to used powered-up [[move]]s ([[Max Move]]s and [[same-type attack bonus]]-enhanced attacks).
** Both of them have unique variations exclusive to certain Pokémon ([[Gigantamax]] and certain [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|special Terastalized states]]). However, Gigantamax is much more common among Pokémon in comparison to the two unique Terastallized forms used only by Terapagos and {{p|Ogerpon}}.
** Both of their progenitors are capable of taking on a special [[form]] related to them ([[Eternamax]] Eternatus and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} Terapagos).
* Similar to Dynamax, NPC {{pkmn|Trainer}}s don't freely Terastallize their Pokémon like a real player would; instead certain Trainers are programmed to Terastallize a particular Pokémon immediately.
* NPC partners in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s don't Terastallize their Pokémon.
* Prior to the introduction of [[Crispin]] in [[The Indigo Disk]], if the {{player}} chooses {{p|Fuecoco}}, no [[Non-player character|NPC]] Trainer in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} Terastallizes their Pokémon into the {{t|Fire}} [[type]].
* [[Katy]] is the only [[Non-player character|NPC]] Trainer to use a Terastallized Pokémon that is not fully [[Evolution|evolved]] in her final team, as {{p|Ursaring}} is unable to evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}} in Scarlet and Violet.
* The Tera Jewels for all Terastallized states (except Ogerpon's) possess a small hexagonal crystal on the front of the crown, with a pair of angry-looking eyes on it.
** For the Tera Jewels of the {{t|Stellar}} Tera Types Terastallized state and {{p|Terapagos}}'s Stellar Form, instead of the hexagonal crystal, there is a gem shaped like the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Terapagos|Normal Form}} of Terapagos on top of the crown, with the same pair of angry-looking eyes as in other Tera Jewels.
* During most of {{Aniseries|HZ}}, the [[Black Rayquaza]] had a distinct crystallized glow coating its body, which looked extremely similar to a Terastallized state, but without a Tera Jewel on its head. In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', a flashback revealed that this was due to it receiving some of [[Pagogo]]'s power during the [[Explorers]]'s adventure in [[Laqua]] 100 years prior to the series. This distinction disappeared when Rayquaza returned that power to Pagogo in ''[[HZ082|Beyond the Shining Rainbow]]''.
** Despite all of the [[Six Heroes]] having being given some of Pagogo's power, for some reason, Rayquaza was the only one to have this distinction.
* In ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'', [[Captain Pikachu]] was shown to be able to fly freely through the sky while Terastallized as a {{t|Flying}} type.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In the [[Lost Mayo Maze]], [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] find themselves meeting [[Count Hoisin]] and [[Shōyu]], who declare the two young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s must defeat them in a {{pkmn|battle}} before they can battle the [[Yellow Flash]] again. Ult becomes determined to battle, wanting to understand {{p|Sableye}} even more, and Roy prepares to have {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} battle alongside it. Ult has Sableye use {{m|Throat Chop}} on Count Hoisin's {{p|Escavalier}}, but it is blocked by {{m|Iron Defense}} while Shōyu's {{p|Accelgor}} comes up from behind with {{m|Skitter Smack}}. Crocalor uses {{m|Flamethrower}} on his opponents, but Escavalier uses {{m|Protect}} to stop it and Accelgor attacks the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}} with a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Water Shuriken}}. Seeing how their opponents work perfectly as a team, Roy suggests they work together too, but Ult is too agitated and calls for Sableye to use {{m|Shadow Sneak}}. Accelgor uses {{m|Double Team}} to throw off Sableye, allowing Escavalier to attack with {{m|Fell Stinger}}. Accelgor goes in for the finishing blow with Skitter Smack, only for Crocalor's {{m|Disarming Voice}} to send the Shell Out Pokémon back. Ult is frustrated by his inability to battle well, but he becomes confused when he hears laughing from Roy, who tells him he and Crocalor get excited when facing strong opponents. Crocalor uses Disarming Voice on Escavalier and Accelgor, who counterattack with Fell Stinger and Water Shuriken respectively. The Fire Croc Pokémon dodges the attacks at the last second and sends out Flamethrower that is once again negated by Protect. Ult watches Roy and Crocalor hold their own against Count Hoisin and Shōyu and, with Sableye's help, realizes the reason why he couldn't battle well. With his newfound realization, Ult resolves to make his Pokémon the strongest and is motivated to continue battling. Crocalor manages to trap Escavalier in a wall while it was cornering the Fire Croc Pokémon and [[Fainting|defeats]] it with Flamethrower. At Shōyu's call, Accelgor comes up from behind Crocalor and didn't notice Sableye doing the same with Shadow Sneak, defeating the Shell Out Pokémon.

As agreed, Roy and Ult are allowed to battle the Yellow Flash again, with Count Hoisin and Shōyu disappearing after bringing down the walls of the Lost Mayo Maze. Once [[Master Mayonnaise]], who is acting as [[Battle judge|referee]], begins the battle, the Yellow Flash immediately begins to move extremely fast, though Sableye and Crocalor were able to avoid getting hit compared to [[HZ112|last time]]. However, the Yellow Flash's high speed causes the two Pokémon to resort to dodging, rendering them unable to fight back. Eventually, Crocalor gets knocked down and the Yellow Flash turns its attention to Sableye. Roy realizes a possible plan for Ult to pull off with Sableye, believing they are capable of doing so now. When it gets attacked by the Yellow Flash, Ult completely trusts Sableye and is able to battle alongside it, resulting in Ult being able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sableye into Mega Sableye for the first time. The Yellow Flash unleashes a strong {{m|Flash Cannon}}, but Mega Sableye is able to stand back up, though it can't use {{m|Power Gem}} due to its gem being too heavy to lift. Instead, it uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} and follows up with a Throat Chop. Unfortunately, the Yellow Flash forces itself out of the confusion by using sheer willpower and defeats Mega Sableye, undoing its Mega Evolution.
[[File:Lucario choosing Roy.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario pleading to come with Roy]]
The Yellow Flash turns its back on Roy and Ult, deeming the battle over, when Crocalor stands back up with motivation to beat the Aura Pokémon. The two get into sync by singing and Roy is able to determine not only how the Yellow Flash would attack, allowing Crocalor to act accordingly, but also his opponent is feeling during the battle. In his excitement to battle even more, Roy Mega Evolves {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario, shocking everyone present. Despite the surprise at this turnout, Roy eagerly has Crocalor use Flamethrower while Mega Lucario uses Flash Cannon, and both attacks meet in the middle. However, with encouragement from his Trainer, Crocalor is able to overpower Mega Lucario and defeats it.

Afterwards, Master Mayonnaise congratulates the two young Trainers on mastering Mega Evolution while revealing Count Hoisin and Shōyu as his fellow allies who wished to help Trainers strengthen their bonds in pursuit of Mega Evolution, resulting in the construction of the Lost Mayo Maze. Even though Roy didn't Mega Evolve Crocalor, the fact that Lucario Mega Evolved thanks to its bond with Roy is proof that he managed to master Mega Evolution. To support this, Lucario comes up to Crocalor with respect and Roy with a plea to join his [[Party|team]]. Having come to the Lost Mayo Maze in search of strong opponents to improve itself, Lucario wishes to continue this goal by Roy's side, and Roy agrees to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. Later on, Roy is ready to leave [[Kalos]] and thanks [[Emma]] for all she did. He is surprised to hear Ult had left for his own journey earlier, which Emma thanks him for as Ult is able to find something he wants to do. She also reveals [[Captain Pikachu]]'s reason for following Roy is probably he looks at the road ahead like [[Friede]]. Hearing that, Roy decides to change his outfit a little to resemble the man he admires, not realizing the shop owner is Master Mayonnaise, and leaves his cap with Emma as he departs from Kalos. At some point down the road, Roy and Ult meet again while facing a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pangoro}} and {{p|Pyroar}}, and the two Mega Evolve their respective Pokémon for the upcoming battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ114 Title card.png|thumb|right|250px|Stylized title card for the episode]]
* This is the third and final episode of the [[Episode: Mega Evolution]] flashback arc. It takes place during the one-year timeskip in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]''.
* This is the first ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' episode to not feature [[Liko]] in any way.
* The title text for this episode is shown directly over the background, without a separate [[title card]] segment. As such, the title is not read aloud. Since there is no opening theme, the series logo (with the arc subtitle) is shown alongside the title text (unlike the previous two episodes of this mini-arc which featured the series logo separately from the title text).
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the series logo on a corner of the screen before and after the commercial break.
* This episode marks the first time that a Pokémon other than {{p|Greninja}} uses {{m|Water Shuriken}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* The {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin and {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese dubs of this episode were released on the Traditional Chinese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel at 6:30 PM (UTC+8), at the same time the Japanese version was released on the Japanese YouTube channel after its television airing. In the regular episode order, the Taiwanese Mandarin dub was midway through [[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua|the second season]], while the Hong Kong Cantonese dub was between the [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series (season)|first]] and second seasons.
* The {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} dub of this episode aired on October 28, 2025 (four days after the Japanese airing), before the Mega Voltage arc.
* [[Roy]], Liko, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, [[Ult]], {{TP|Ult|Sableye}}, [[Dot]], and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} narrate the preview for the [[HZ115|next episode]].
** The next episode preview is removed from the [[Prime Video]] VOD release.{{#tag: ref|''[[Episode: Mega Evolution]]'' is available for streaming exclusively on [[Prime Video]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1976830113057849820 アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR) on X/Twitter, Oct 11, 2025]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/afdPACmJcGo 『ポケットモンスターエピソード：メガシンカ』見放題《独占》配信決定！ | プライムビデオ] via [https://www.youtube.com/@PrimeVideoJP Prime Video JP - プライムビデオ] on [[YouTube]]</ref> and is thus considered a [https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0FQJHTQ8Y separate listing] than the [https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0BYTFJJK5/ rest] of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.|group=note}} It is however retained in the YouTube and TVer releases. The TVer release also includes a trailer for the ''[[Rising Again]]'' arc, which was originally [https://youtu.be/Mk_5cqjPTWY uploaded separately] to the [[TV Tokyo]] YouTube channel after this episode's initial TV broadcast.
* A character in this episode is a [[Animated series character recycling|recycling]] of [[Mitchell (HZ019)|Mitchell]].

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
*In the Korean dub, clips of Roy and Ult Mega Evolving Lucario and Sableye are used at the very beginning of the episode (before the recap) for an 8-second logo segment.
*The next episode preview is not included in the Taiwanese Mandarin, Hong Kong Cantonese, and Korean releases.
*The Hong Kong Cantonese release adds a clip of Lucario and Crocalor after the ending theme, with text saying to stay tuned for the next time.
*In the English and other dubs, the ending theme uses clips from all three variants of the Japanese version. This same animation is used for the other episodes of the arc, instead of different ones for each episode like in the original.

* For the initial airing of this episode, the Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution segment was replaced by a special trailer for the upcoming episodes, which was later [https://youtu.be/pNR0Y0zPhpQ uploaded] to the Japanese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel.
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Master Mayonnaise]] and his {{p|Hawlucha}}, and the second features [[Roy]] with his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Mega Lucario, and [[Captain Pikachu]].
* This is the first episode to feature Z [[Mega Evolution]].
* As of this episode, all nineteen {{Tera|Tera Types}} have appeared in the animated series.
* Roy, [[Pagogo]], [[Liko]], [[Dot]], [[Ult]], and Captain Pikachu narrate the preview for the [[HZ133|next episode]].

[[File:Young Liko.png|250px|thumb|left|Young Liko]]
Liko was born in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and grew up in [[Cabo Poco]] with her parents, [[Alex]] and [[Lucca]]. Her grandmother, [[Diana]], was also an important part of her childhood, with Liko hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. After being accepted into [[Indigo Academy]], Liko was given a mysterious pendant by Diana, which she said would be important to her in the future.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
[[File:Liko pendant power.png|250px|thumb|Liko awakening her [[Pagogo|pendant]] for the first time]]
Liko debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She enrolled in [[Indigo Academy]] at the [[Kanto]] region, where she formed a friendship with her roommate [[Ann]] and received her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], a {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. During the next few days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} listen to her instructions in {{pkmn|battle}}, but to little avail.

One day, a young man named [[Amethio]] introduced himself to her, supposedly as her grandmother's representative, and asked her for the pendant. Quickly distrusting his intentions, Liko attempted to run away from him and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]], but eventually got cornered by the group, who called themselves [[Explorers]]. However, before any violent confrontation could begin, [[Friede]] swooped in on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and started battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. A stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} nearly hit Liko as she tried to escape, but her pendant activated in time and protected her from the attack.

In the [[HZ002|next episode]], Liko noticed the presence of {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}} during the activation of the pendant's power. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Sprigatito were taken aboard his airship, the [[Brave Olivine]], where they were introduced to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Not long after, the ship was attacked by the Explorers, who almost coerced Liko to go with them, had Sprigatito not encouraged her to stand tall. Liko had her partner unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around the Wing Deck, but she got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the Explorers to capture her before fleeing.
[[File:Liko Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko discovered that [[Lucca|her mother]] had hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group soon reached the city where the Explorers were last seen. After running an errand for [[Mollie]] at the city's [[Pokémon Center]], she followed the sound of [[Murdock's Rockruff]]'s barking and discovered that [[Murdock]] and Friede had found Onia. She and Friede chased Onia back to the Explorers' hideout, where Friede engaged Amethio in a battle, allowing her and Rockruff to locate Sprigatito. Feeling she could trust them, Liko decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers in their travels to find out more about the mysteries surrounding her pendant and the Explorers, officially becoming a member of the group.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Liko had signed up for online classes and would be attending school virtually. After doing some chores, Liko found out that {{p|Fuecoco}} had fallen off the Brave Olivine and went out to look for him. During the search, they came upon an open tree stump with eaten {{Berries}} and were mistakenly accused of eating them by the [[wild Pokémon]]. As they were being chased, Liko's pendant started to glow, and soon they were found by [[Roy]], who helped them escape. The wild Pokémon, however, did not give up on their hunt and successfully captured them. After being rescued by Friede, Liko and Roy gathered Berries for the wild Pokémon as an apology gift, and she soon waved goodbye to her new friend.
[[File:Rayquaza staring at Liko.png|thumb|250px|Liko meeting the [[Black Rayquaza]]]]
They did not depart for long, however, as the Rising Volt Tacklers were startled awake [[HZ005|during the middle of the night]] when Roy snuck on the ship and got shocked by [[Captain Pikachu]]. He wanted to see his friend Fuecoco once more, but, despite searching all over the Brave Olivine, couldn't find it. In the next day, the Explorers launched an assault on the Rising Volt Tacklers. Despite her own nervousness, Liko managed to defeat Onia all by herself. As she arrived on the beach, she was assaulted by Amethio's {{p|Corviknight}}, nearly getting hit before [[HZ006|her pendant activated again]], projecting another barrier to protect her. Liko and Roy called Sprigatito and Fuecoco to fight Amethio's Ceruledge, but it proved to be too powerful for them. Then, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted in unison, and from the Poké Ball emerged a [[Black Rayquaza]]. After forcing the Explorers to retreat, Rayquaza briefly stared at Liko before flying away. She decided to keep looking into her pendant's mystery alongside Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers as they headed off towards [[Paldea]].

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko was challenged by Roy to a battle, but it was called off when their Pokémon tired themselves into a draw. Shortly after, Friede downloaded the Rising Volt Tacklers app on their [[Rotom Phone]]s and suggested they visit [[Dot]] to see if she had any info on the Black Rayquaza, but weren't able to talk to her. Frustrated, they asked Friede for some special training, which he accepted. In order for them to win, they had to land a hit on Captain Pikachu, but, despite figuring out the pattern of his {{m|Double Team}}, weren't able to. After a break, Liko and Roy battled against each other once more—this time, there was a clear winner, as Sprigatito managed to overcome the type disadvantage and defeat {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea. Realizing that Dot is just shy around others, like she is, Liko decided to learn more about her in hopes of becoming friends with her.

In the [[HZ008|next episode]], Liko accepted Roy's pleading to watch over the Brave Olivine in his place, as she already was planning to watch a livestream by Nidothing, her favorite content creator. By the time she had done her chores, she decided to bring Dot the lunch that Murdock had prepared for her. Once at her door, Liko faintly heard Nidothing's background music and, assuming Dot to be a Nidothing fan like herself, tried to bond with Dot over this shared interest, but to no avail. During the livestream, Nidothing—who, unbeknownst to Liko, was actually Dot in a costume—read and responded a comment about the whole situation left by her, who was quick to follow the streamer's advice.
[[File:Liko and Alex.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and [[Alex|her father]]]]
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{an|Nemona}} and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Rotom hypnotized.png|thumb|200px|Liko and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} having their memories erased by [[Spinel]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}}]]
As [[HZ011|they reached the forest]], Liko and Roy discovered that part of it had burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. After looking around, Liko found an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, but the local wild Pokémon were distrustful of her and took Wooper to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}}, which started attacking Liko and Roy until Mollie had finished treating the Poison Fish Pokémon's injuries. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], Liko led a successful group effort to replant the part of the forest that had burned down. Suddenly, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. At the end of the day, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother in the hopes of learning more about the pendant.

In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Liko and the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to have a [[picnic]] while the ship was undergoing an automatic inspection. During that leisure period, feeling that Dot and [[Ludlow]] were missing out, Liko enlisted Murdock's help in making an indoor picnic for them. Later, Liko was shocked to see that Dot sent her a picture of Nidothing and Ludlow having a good time. In her naivety, Liko did not correlate Dot and Nidothing as the same person, instead concluding that it was all part of Dot's plan to make her happy.

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] alone after seeing an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] spice that Murdock wanted. Unbeknownst to her, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] to lure her away. Spinel used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories, specifically the ones involving the Rising Volt Tacklers, and effortlessly stole her pendant. In [[HZ015|the following episode]], Dot staged a collaboration with {{an|Iono}} in order to find out Liko's whereabouts. By the time her memory fully recovered, Liko had reunited with Roy, Friede, and Dot, the latter she met in person for the first time. Realizing that Spinel was still in Paldea, the group was determined to retrieve the stolen pendant back.
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot went searching for Spinel in order to get the pendant back. Once Dot located Spinel's whereabouts, Liko and Roy teamed up with her to battle the Explorers Admin. They managed to take down Spinel's {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, only to be quickly overwhelmed by his {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite this, Liko's determination to keep battling caused the pendant to glow brightly, forcing Spinel out of his hiding spot and allowing Sprigatito the chance to retrieve it. Liko and the others escaped with Arboliva's help and reunited with the other Rising Volt Tacklers. Later, Dot finally confessed to Liko about her secret identity as Nidothing, much to Liko's shock.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Liko arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Roy in order to gather information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]]. Kabu tested their resolve through a training contest to master their Pokémon's basic moves, followed by a [[Multi Battle]] against himself and his apprentice {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. Although Liko did her best throughout her training, she yielded to Roy during their contest when she saw how he had improved, and felt it best to forfeit against Wakaba to help her qualify as a {{tc|Gym Trainer}}. When this only upset Sprigatito and Wakaba, however, Kabu helped Liko understand her lack of consideration for their feelings, and she apologized to them both. After the training, Liko and Roy learned from Kabu that Rayquaza was spotted heading towards the [[Galar Mine]].
[[File:Liko holding Hatenna.png|thumb|250px|Liko catches {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} as her second Pokémon]]
In the [[HZ021|next episode]], while heading to the Galar Mine, Liko, Roy, and Friede had to seek shelter from the rain and they found a wild {{p|Hatenna}}. Liko felt that something wasn't right with her and brought Hatenna back to the Brave Olivine so Mollie could check her out. Mollie deduced she was just feeling down, so Liko volunteered to look after Hatenna, but she ran away after sensing Dot's strong emotions. Liko, Roy, and Dot sought Hatenna all over the airship, with Liko eventually finding her on the observation deck. She told Hatenna that she also liked to come there as well because it was quiet and peaceful, which led them to bond. After the weather cleared up, Liko attempted to return Hatenna to the wild, but Sprigatito convinced the Calm Pokémon not to go and she ran back into Liko's arms. Realizing that Hatenna wanted to go with her, Friede gave her a Poké Ball and Liko happily {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, adding her to her [[party|team]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Liko and Roy met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got her to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy arrived at the Pokémon Center in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Liko battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] once more in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Liko's pendant started to glow and briefly transformed into the mysterious Pokémon again, following which the Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care.
[[File:Liko Lucius Belt.png|thumb|left|200px|Liko wearing [[Lucius]]'s belt]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Liko with Roy and Friede arrived in [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find the [[ancient castle]] that her grandmother was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Liko and her friends were able to find her grandmother. Liko introduced her grandmother to her friends Roy and Friede, as well as Sprigatito and Hatenna as her Pokémon partners. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Liko and Roy tried to escape the Explorers, but they were forced to battle Onia and Zirc, which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Liko, her grandmother and her friends were able to escape.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Liko joined her friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get her to come out, as she was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Liko and Roy stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, Liko and Roy saw it with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Liko joined Roy and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing her that they were friends, Lapras returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Liko and her friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Liko witnessed Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|transform}} in order to battle the Black Rayquaza after it defeated Amethio. After Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Liko stayed by its side while it recovered. Liko and Roy then had a training battle with Diana, and won when Sprigatito managed to land a hit on her {{p|Arcanine}}. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Liko and Roy overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Liko and Roy surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log and then the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Liko was informed by Friede that they were heading back to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Liko and Roy arrived at Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]]'s location in an attempt to stop them from using a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Liko and Roy used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Liko and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|Liko and [[Lucca|her mother]]]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Liko, Roy, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Liko and Roy confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Sprigatito evolving into Floragato and Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Liko, Roy and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Liko, Dot, and Roy were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Liko's surprise, [[Katy]] was chosen as her opponent. Liko then reunites with Ann and decided to have a [[rematch]] against her. Through her quick thinking, Liko was able to win the battle and promised Ann that they'll battle each other again one day. Later, Liko and her friends set off for her battle against Katy in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ047|Put Your Heart Into It!]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived in Cortondo, where they encountered Murdock working part-time at the Patisserie Soapberry. They also found Katy being yelled at by Coral, who was furious because she arrived too late to buy sweets. Katy only had time to take on one challenger that day, so she had Liko and Coral face off in a baking competition to see who she would battle. With the matcha cake they made, Liko and Floragato won the competition while Coral lost and was kicked out for her volatile behavior. Later, during her battle with Katy, Liko Terastallized Floragato into a {{type|Grass}}, but they were defeated when Katy's {{Tera}} {{t|Bug}} {{p|Teddiursa}}, Teddy, used a powered-up {{m|Fury Cutter}}. Despite the loss, Liko still passed her assessment for using Terastal at the appropriate moment. Afterwards, Liko and her friends prepared to head to Artazon for Roy's battle with Brassius.

In ''[[HZ053|Hatenna and the Otherworldly]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot encountered a group of the {{p|Mankey}} evolutionary line. While Liko and the others fended off the horde of angry Pokémon, Hatenna discovered that they were enraged after losing access to their food storage. By working with their Pokémon, Liko's group successfully built a rope bridge for their new friends to climb on. Overjoyed at being able to access their food again, the Mankey family accidentally caused a boulder to fall on their berry supply, angering them all over again. Tired of all the fighting, Hatenna evolved into {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} and used her newly learned {{m|Brutal Swing}} to defeat the three {{p|Annihilape}} that were attacking each other. Afterward, the Mankey family apologized for their actions and shared their food with Liko's group.
[[File:Liko and her friends.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann at Naranja Academy]]
In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', Liko was paired with Katy for an aptitude match against [[Rika]] of the Paldea [[Elite Four]]. During the battle, Liko became frustrated, comparing herself with the other Trainers and thinking she couldn't keep up, a feeling that was building up inside her even before the battle begun. Katy and Rika supported her their own ways, pointing out her mind was seemingly everywhere at once. The Elite Four member also left her wondering about what Pokémon battles are about, and Liko found out her answer as the battle went on, recognizing that being immersed in a battle allows for a Trainer to know what their Pokémon feels and vowing to take battles as seriously as her Floragato has ever taken. In the end, Liko and Katy still lost, with the student becoming emotional and shedding bitter tears for having engaged more intimately with the battle. Later, she was approached by [[Grusha]], who briefly made a comment about her before leaving with [[Geeta]]. While she did not know who he was, she would eventually find out once the pairings for the next module of the Tera Training [[HZ057|were revealed]], as he was assigned as the Gym Leader she would have to face.

In ''[[HZ063|Ice Battle! Cold-Eyed Grusha]]'', Liko, Roy, and Dot arrived at [[Glaseado Gym]] for her Tera Training test against Grusha. After learning about his past as a professional snowboarder, Liko was determined to receive approval from the Gym Leader. The battle, however, did not go according to her plans, as {{p|Cetitan}}'s bulk and {{p|Altaria}}'s aerial attacks, combined with a massive type disadvantage, proved to be too much for her team, leading to Liko failing her test, with Grusha not acknowledging her in spite of her loss and refusing to give her a second chance.
[[File:Liko and Amethio talking.png|250px|thumb|Liko and [[Amethio]] opening up to each other]]
In ''[[HZ064|The Approaching Shadow!]]'', the trio decided to visit {{DL|Ten Sights of Paldea|Paldea's Highest Peak}}, wanting to cheer Liko up. Along the way, she was unknowingly deviated from her friends by [[Chalce]]'s {{p|Medicham}} and ran by chance into Amethio, who seized the opportunity to take Terapagos. This time, however, Liko and Floragato put up a fight and even forced Amethio into Terastallizing Ceruledge, which made her think back to her recent loss and hesitate. The battle was interrupted by Spinel, who tested the effects of the [[Laquium|Treasure of Eternity]] on his {{p|Umbreon}}, causing it to enter a rampaging state that allowed it to easily triumph over Ceruledge. Angered, Terapagos transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} and destroyed the crystal, purifying Umbreon in the process. Demanding answers as to what they just witnessed, Liko and Amethio chased after the fleeing Spinel, only to be lured into a nearby cave and be trapped inside. In the [[HZ065|following episode]], as the air grew colder, they gathered around a campfire and opened up to each other, learning about each other's goals and reflecting on the similarities of their journeys. Liko even pondered if the Rising Volt Tacklers and the Explorers could work together to reach the end goal they shared, but Amethio quickly discarded the idea, claiming the paths they take are too different. Eventually, they managed to create an opening in the ceiling and escape, with him warning her about Spinel before parting ways. Later, Liko reunited with her friends and Friede and told them about the Treasure of Eternity. Before heading down the mountain, the children visited Paldea's Highest Peak and snapped a group [[photo]].
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Liko battling Roy in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', the trio returned to Naranja Academy, where the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] was announced, allowing those who failed the Tera Training to Terastallize one last time before the course officially ended. As the tournament was underway, Dot informed Liko and Roy that the Explorers had infiltrated the academy's systems to steal data on Terapagos. They split up, and Liko ended up finding and confronting Sidian at the academy's rooftop; unbeknownst to them, Grusha watched their battle from afar. In order to protect Terapagos and the school, Liko Terastallized Floragato, granting her enough power to defeat her opponent. Sidian acknowledged Liko's strength before leaving, and Grusha finally revealed himself, telling her to meet him at the principal's office, where [[Clavell]] and Geeta were also at. While Liko thought she was in trouble for Terastallizing outside of the Tera Training, they actually commended her for her actions, with the Gym Leader even changing his previous assessment to a passing grade. With one more student having passed their usage test, the tournament's battle pairings changed accordingly, with Liko and Roy [[HZ067|being set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} and Hattrem were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Roy's Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Liko and Roy both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Liko, Roy, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After receiving Lucius's belt back from Friede, Liko was challenged by Lucius's Arboliva, who wanted to test her strength as a Trainer at the end of her Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Liko Terastallized Floragato and had her use an enhanced {{m|Magical Leaf}}, which Arboliva withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a photo of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Liko, Roy, Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Following an encounter with a pack of wild {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}}, Liko was separated from the others and came across various scratches in the terrain, which she attributed to Kleavor. Using Hattrem's ability to sense emotions, Liko was able to ascertain that Kleavor wasn't angry and that the markings weren't meant as a warning sign. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Liko and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Liko, Roy, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Liko and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Liko, Roy, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon, but still acknowledged their strength and decided to return to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', Liko reunited with Diana, who had successfully obtained more information on Lucius. Before telling everyone what she had learned, Diana challenged her granddaughter to a battle, which eventually ended in Liko's victory. Afterward, Diana told the Rising Volt Tacklers about how Lucius founded the original Explorers alongside his comrades, [[Rystal]] and [[Gibeon]]. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede took Diana to the Crystal Pool, where they successfully used its power to summon Rystal's spirit. There, they learned that Terapagos was actually Rystal's partner Pokémon and that she and Lucius are Liko's great-great-grandparents. Rystal [[HZ075|then proceeded]] to tell everyone how she met Lucius, how the original Explorers came to be, and what happened after they made it to Laqua, which ended up with Gibeon seemingly falling to his death and Lucius being sealed inside Laqua to prevent the Laquium from threatening the world's balance. When it was time for Rystal to return to her original time, she entrusted Terapagos to Liko, stating that she was its partner now. Liko comforted Terapagos, who was sad to see its original Trainer leave. With a Poké Ball she received from Friede, Liko caught Terapagos and adopted the nickname "[[Pagogo]]" from Rystal. Afterward, Diana bid farewell to Liko and the others and went on her own travels.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Liko, Roy, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its Terastal Form, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Lucius and Liko HZ089.png|250px|thumb|Lucius entrusting his dream to Liko]]
With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Liko faced off against Sidian and was able to gain the upper hand without resorting to Terastallization even when her opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of Laquium, the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Refusing to give up, Liko encouraged Floragato to stand tall as well in order to protect their friends, which was the push necessary for her to evolve into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. For a final assault, she teamed up with Ceruledge, and managed to knock Zygarde down with her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}}. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Liko witnessed Lucius fading away and promised to keep looking after Pagogo. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Liko and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.
[[File:Liko new outfit.png|250px|thumb|left|Liko deciding to go on a new journey with Roy]]
Liko and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, with Liko initially returning home. In the year following these events however, Liko couldn't stay at home in Paldea because of Spinel's actions, and she ended up returning to Indigo Academy in Kanto. Fortunately, Liko was able to have a regular life at Indigo Academy because nobody, except Ann, knew she was a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

[[HZ090|One]] [[HZ091|year]] after ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Liko reunited with Roy, who revealed that he and Dot discovered that Laquium was still affecting Pokémon worldwide, and told her that he needed her help. However, between being accustomed to Indigo Academy, Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball in the last year, and not wanting everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler, Liko refused, but apologized to Roy. Although, seeing Roy battling Ann and realizing that her three best friends were always moving ahead, Liko decided to have a battle with Roy. Liko gave it her all, but lost to Roy once again. Despite the loss, Liko with her newfound confidence decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua in order to clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', while Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]] battle two Laquium-enhanced {{P|Steelix}}, when Liko was about to be attacked by both, Pagogo finally awakened from its Poké Ball to protect her with its energy barrier, proceeding to change into its Terastal Form and purify the Laquium affecting the two Steelix, much to Liko's joy.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy met Mollie, who was working at her family's Pokémon Center. Liko then sent Meowscarada to battle a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}}, but she got badly poisoned, opting to switch for Hattrem instead. Liko Terastallized her for the first time to deal more powerful attacks, with Hattrem learning {{m|Healing Wish}} to cure Vileplume.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Liko and Roy went to an Exceed facility after their battle with Vileplume, figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. She and Roy then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Liko and Roy, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.

In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', Liko and the others reunited with Murdock and Dot at the Patisserie Soapberry. Upon being told the children were reforming the Rising Volt Tacklers, Murdock grew concerned for their safety. To help relieve Murdock's worries, Katy challenged Liko to a rematch, using her {{p|Ursaring}}, Teddy, to battle Pagogo. Despite Katy using Terastallization again, Pagogo eventually emerged victorious, proving to Murdock how much Liko had grown over the past year. Liko, Roy, and Dot decided that if they wanted to prevent Strong Spheres from being released to the public, they would need the Brave Olivine as a faster means of transportation. Murdock explained that when everyone went their separate ways, [[Orla]] said she would dismantle the airship. Roy and Ult then suggested having her build a new Brave Olivine for them to fly on. With Dot joining the group, Liko and the others set off to meet with Orla in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Liko and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Liko and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Liko and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', while doing research on Laquium Signs in [[South Province (Area Three)]] with the others, Liko encountered a student named {{OBP|Pepper|HZ102}}, whose partner {{p|Scovillain}} had gone missing. Later, she came across a scared and injured group of Pokémon including a {{p|Charcadet}} she had met [[HZ057|one year earlier]]. The Pokémon were being terrorized by Pepper's Scovillain, which had been affected by Laquium and went on a rampage. After seeing Liko risk herself to protect its friends, Charcadet teamed up with Pagogo to battle and purify Scovillain, returning it to its senses. Once Scovillain and Pepper were reunited, Liko said goodbye to {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, only for it to request that she let it join her team, which Liko happily accepted.
[[File:Amethio and Liko HZ104.png|thumb|250px|Liko reunites with Amethio]]
In ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'', Liko attended a Nidothing and Iono fan meeting in Levincia. While waiting for the event to begin, she and the others came across Zirc and Onia. Upon learning that Zirc was a fellow Nidothing fan but lost his ticket to the event, Liko agreed to help find it. Everyone tracked the ticket to a nearby beach, where it ended up stuck to a wild {{p|Wugtrio}}. Together, Liko and the others battled Wugtrio, giving Zirc's {{p|Rhydon}} the opportunity to retrieve the ticket. Later, after the event finished, Zirc and Onia approached Liko and revealed that Amethio went missing sometime after the incident at Laqua. To Liko's surprise, Zirc and Onia personally requested that she help them locate Amethio's whereabouts.

In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish!]]'', Liko accompanied Zirc and Onia to [[Amethio's mansion]] where she found out more about his past. With a picture of Amethio when he was younger and help from [[Cervantis]], Liko, Zirc and Onia found him on an island near Levincia. After telling Amethio everything that had happened in the past year, Liko had a battle with him when her Charcadet wanted to battle his Ceruledge, which was called off. In the end, Liko and Charcadet's determination motivated both Amethio and his Ceruledge to fight against Spinel once again, Liko and Amethio then parted ways.

In ''[[HZ108|Taking the Next Steps]]'', Liko was reunited with her grandmother Diana, who informed everyone about a possible method to have Pagogo fully eradicate the Laquium. After being informed about Spinel capturing the remaining Six Heroes, Diana noticed Liko's newly-caught Charcadet and challenged her to a [[Double Battle]] to test her skills. While Meowscarada was defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}} from Diana's Arcanine, Charcadet defeated Wash {{p|Rotom}} before falling to Arcanine shortly afterwards. Once the battle concluded, Diana discussed with the Rising Volt Tacklers about finding the location of the remaining Six Heroes at an Exceed facility, with Liko suggesting they get answers from Cervantis.

In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Liko received an email from Cervantis, who requested the Rising Volt Tacklers come meet him in person at an Exceed distribution center. Shortly after they arrived, Liko, Roy, and Ult found out the message was a fake sent by Spinel to lure them out. In the [[HZ110|following episode]], Indi and Rubina used Super Strong Spheres to further empower the captured Six Heroes and made them battle Liko and the others. Liko had Pagogo purify the Laquium afflicting the Six Heroes, only for it to be quickly taken out when the Explorers just used the Super Strong Spheres on the heroes a second time.

In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Liko and her friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and Cervantis, Liko and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Liko and her friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers.

In [[HZ118]], Liko and her Pokémon, except Pagogo, joined Ann and her party with Ditto Block Hunting [[Blueberry Quest]] in the [[Terarium]]. Liko previously thought Hattrem was holding herself back for the sake of Meowscarada and Charcadet, however, after Ann told Liko about her relationship with her older and younger sibling, Liko realized Hattrem wasn't holding herself back at all, but that she was doing what she wanted to do all along because it made her happy. After a heartfelt moment with Hattrem over making sandwiches, Liko confessed that she was happy she met Hattrem and apologized for not realizing Hattrem's intentions before, making her cry tears of joy and triggered her evolution into {{p|Hatterene}}. The next day, Liko and her party were having breakfast when Dot and Roy entered informing her that Briar had acquired new data on Terapagos.

In [[HZ124]], Liko and her friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Liko and Dot tried to hack through the back door but were caught by Indi and Rubina. After Amethio and his Ceruledge showed up in time, Liko battle alongside them in a tag team against Indi and Rubina. Liko and Amethio both worked well as a team, with her Charcadet eventually evolving into {{p|Armarouge}} mid-battle, defeating the Explorers' two {{p|Salamence}} with its new {{m|Armor Cannon}} move, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat. Liko and her friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Liko and her friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Liko used her Meowscarada and Hatterene against Lucius's Kleavor. After Hatterene got knocked out, Liko had Meowscarada use her invisible flower stems to trap Kleavor and unleashed a massive Magical Leaf, defeating the Axe Pokémon. In [[HZ127]], Liko used her Armarouge to battle against Ann's Samurott, with both trainers Terastallizing their Pokémon. After a series of attacks both Pokémon were knocked out, resulting in a draw.

===Character===
[[File:Liko bashfulness.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko's social anxiety]]
Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She has also been shown to be cautious about trusting others, as she quickly realized something was amiss when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, [[Diana]], and she was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without providing her with any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and help rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her intelligence, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she is told the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion.

Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''Sprigatito Love''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan''). Although she now knows that Nidothing and Dot are the same person, Liko openly treats them both as individual people. She even goes to the point of trying to believe that Nidothing is just Nidothing and nobody is inside the costume, as seen in ''[[HZ039|Tinkatink's Ideal Hammer]]'' and ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]''. She gets excited to meet others who are also Nidothing fans, such as [[Yuno]] and [[Litten Smitten]], and when she finds out that those she knows are a fan of her as well, such as [[Zirc]].

She appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes in her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. As revealed in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', Liko gets her drawing skills from her father, [[Alex]]. Liko is also good at painting, as seen in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Flame and Art]]'', when she makes a drawing of {{p|Arboliva}} with her Pokémon's help. In addition, Liko is a good observer and has been seen writing down her observations in her Rotom Phone.

Liko has been shown to be a bit bashful and socially anxious around new people. In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', after seeing that other [[Indigo Academy]] students also liked Nidothing, Liko thought about striking up a conversation with them but was unable to voice her thoughts. On occasions when this initial barrier is overcome, however, Liko can easily make friends, quickly befriending [[Ann]] and [[Roy]] after meeting them. Liko's kindness, compassion, and her willingness to help others encourages many people around her and earns their friendship, as was seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', when she was able to get the initially reserved Dot to open up more by bringing her lunch and inviting her to watch Nidothing's livestream after hearing the streamer's background music from the other girl's room. This was shown again in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', when Liko helped the often brash and awkward [[Ult]] to become more comfortable with the group, and understand the concept of working as a team. Even some former enemies have eventually been drawn in by her compassionate nature as time progressed, as seen during ''[[HZ103|Nidothing Love!]]'' when Zirc and [[Onia]] asked her to help them find Amethio. In addition, Liko has shown an interest in helping people and Pokémon with their romantic problems.

When she hears or sees something that excites her, she claps her hands together, as shown in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', after discovering that she has actually met a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Liko is shown to not be a picky eater, telling [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'' that she'll eat anything. Liko also knows how to cook [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she made some for her friends to try, and they enjoyed it. She is also able to make other food, as she made pancakes for the group in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]''. In addition, Liko has a habit of keeping her emotions to herself, which Ann pointed out in [[HZ118]]. However, Liko can be emotional, as seen in ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', when she cries for the first time after losing a battle against [[Rika]]. Sometimes, Liko can be hard on herself when she doesn't accomplish something, which leads her to doubt herself, but quickly cheers up through the assurances and motivation from her friends.

[[File:Liko and Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Liko playing with Pokémon during a picnic]]
Liko cares very much about Pokémon and loves with them with all her heart. She has also shown to prioritize their safety, as demonstrated in ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', where she attempted to surrender herself to the Explorers so that the Rising Volt Tacklers' Pokémon wouldn't get hurt. Liko will do anything to protect Pokémon, especially her own, from danger, even to the point of being reckless in order to do so, as shown in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]'', when she attempted to save [[Pagogo]] from falling off the Brave Olivine, which would have led her to fall off as well if not for her grandmother and her {{p|Arcanine}}. This was shown again in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', when she went to protect a wild {{p|Happiny}} from getting attacked by a [[Laquium]]-afflicted {{p|Scovillain}}, but both were saved by a wild {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} that she met a [[HZ057|year earlier]], as it decided to become one of her Pokémon partners after witnessing her compassion for them. She often feels happy and excited when meeting new Pokémon in general, in stark contrast to her usual bashfulness with new people. Liko's appreciation for her Pokémon is shown when she at first misread {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s intentions in [[HZ118]] as she first thought she was holding herself back for the sake of the rest of her party and not doing what she wanted to do, but she soon realizes that wasn't the case at all and that Hattrem was doing what she wanted to do; helping other Pokémon as she had since she was a Hatenna, making Liko apologize for not realizing it sooner and thanking Hattrem, being grateful that she met her.

Though Liko can be timid and uncertain of her abilities, especially in dangerous situations, she has shown a brave side when supported by those around her, people and Pokémon alike, as seen in episodes such as ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'' and ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', after Sprigatito, and later Roy and Dot, encouraged her to stand tall against the Explorers, and ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when she reminded Roy and herself about what they as Trainers could do with Pokémon by their side. However, throughout her journey, Liko becomes more confident in herself, showing more of her courageous side and less of her fearful side. Liko also developed a never-giving-up attitude, having took to heart Amethio's words of letting a setback stop her from achieving her goals in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', and even repeated them to Amethio himself in ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish!]]'' when his own confidence was brought low by the last year's events.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult]]
Liko has a calm disposition and is very approachable, as shown in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', when she was able to approach a shy and seclusive {{p|Hatenna}} she met near the [[Galar Mine]], as it led them to bond and the Calm Pokémon becoming one of her Pokémon partners thanks to her calm emotions. She also has a stubborn streak, which her grandmother described to her Sprigatito in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In addition, Liko seems to be a good secret keeper, as she helps Dot maintain her identity as Nidothing and decided to not tell a group of [[Snap Boys|photographers]] that she saw a wild {{p|Palafin}} transform into its hero form in ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]''.

Ever since being assigned to the observation deck on the Brave Olivine in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Liko came to enjoy hanging out there because it was peaceful and quiet, as she would go there in order to get away from whatever was troubling her. Liko often tries to prioritize the happiness of other people before her own, but this sometimes ends up having the opposite effect due to her not properly considering their feelings. This tendency, along with a lack of a goal, resulted in Liko's own development and growth as a Trainer stagnating due to having very little ambition of her own. However, in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Liko decided that she wants to be a Trainer that understands how Pokémon feel. Liko has also learned to not hold back in a Pokémon battle and should give her all no matter who the opponent is. In addition, Liko has come to enjoy battling and wants to become stronger in order to protect those she cares about. Liko's true strength shines through when she is fighting for others, especially for her friends and family, which [[Grusha]] points out in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]''.
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Ann]]
Liko shares a great relationship with her family and is supportive of them. During her time with her grandmother, Liko became much closer with her, as she came to enjoy spending time with her. Liko is also used to having her family busy, due to her parents working and her grandmother traveling. Ever since the events in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Liko came to admire Friede for his selflessness and compassion for others, and is impressed with his skills as a Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Although, Liko seemed to have picked up Friede's tendency to forget to give important details, as seen in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]''. In addition to Friede, Liko has a close relationship with the rest of her teammates. However, out of all her teammates, Liko shares a remarkable relationship with Roy and Dot, as they are her best friends and mostly hangs out with them. Liko also has a close friendship with Ann, even keeping in touch with her whenever she could, especially before or after class at Indigo Academy. Although, Liko tries to protect Ann and doesn't want her dear friend to get hurt, but eventually accepted her decision of wanting to help her, as shown in [[HZ127]].
[[File:Amethio and Liko.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Amethio]]
At first, Liko saw Amethio as her enemy due to being a member of the Explorers and his attempts to kidnap her. However, during the events in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', Liko starts to see Amethio differently when he saved her from getting hurt during a battle against the [[Black Rayquaza]]. Liko further sees Amethio differently in ''[[HZ067|Liko and Amethio]]'' when they opened up to each other, which led her to bonding with him. Ever since, Liko trusts Amethio and comes to care about him, even helping Onia and Zirc find him when they informed her about his disappearances after the events in Laqua. Upon being informed of the [[HZ075|Explorers origins]], Liko quickly accepted her great-great grandparents [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]]'s history with Amethio's grandfather [[Gibeon]]. Liko and Amethio have also shown to work well together in battle, as seen in ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'' and [[HZ124]].

[[HZ089|Upon losing Friede]], Pagogo not coming out of its Poké Ball, and the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], Liko's confidence took a hit and she hid her affiliation from her classmates, with Ann being the only one who knew. Despite her own talent, she also lets Ann become the ace of Indigo Academy, contributing to her feelings of renewed stagnation over the year. In addition, Liko has avoided everything associated with the Rising Volt Tacklers to hide the pain of what she went through, even going to the point of not staying in contact with Roy and Dot or watching her Nidothing videos. However, upon reuniting with Roy and realizing that her best friends are always moving forward with their Pokémon partners, Liko becomes inspired to do the same, as she cuts loose in her battle against Roy in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 2]]'' and reveals to her classmates that she is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. With a newfound resolve to move forward for herself, Liko is now determined to reclaim her agency and clear the Rising Volt Tacklers' name, while returning to traveling with both her best friends and Pokémon, in hopes of one day being able to soar the skies on the Brave Olivine with her friends once more. Her wish soon starts coming true not just when the Rising Volt Tacklers are officially re-formed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' with the addition of a new friend and teammate in Ult, but also with the discovery that Friede is still alive but in hiding. Liko also works with Roy, Dot, and Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absences. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Liko comes to [[HZ122|accept]] in being a founding member of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that her best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of her teammates are there to assist her in her time of need.

Although she still compassionate, Liko has become much serious in dealing with situations, especially in dealing with the Explorers, and less afraid of what people think of her. Liko is even more adventurous than she was when she first started out as a Trainer. During her training at [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko learns to get the facts before jumping to conclusions and open up in expressing her emotions.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Liko team.png|thumb|350px|Liko's current [[party]]]]
Liko's team mostly consist of Pokémon who are, in some way, related to strong emotions, tying it to her goal of learning more about the feelings of Pokémon. As Liko matured as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, so did her ability to recognize and deal with the emotional necessities of her Pokémon, which can be most clearly seen in her history with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Her team has also shown to have a strong bond with each other, as they look out for one another. In addition, Meowscarada has occasionally been seen carrying {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}} during her first two [[evolution]]ary stages, and [[Pagogo]], while {{TP|Liko|Armarouge}}, as a Charcadet, has shown a tendency to ride Pagogo. Her Pokémon all have Liko's compassion, loyalty, and reckless nature, as they would do anything to protect anyone in danger, especially their Trainer and each other.

Furthermore, her Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Meowscarada and Pagogo are Liko's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, while Hatterene and Armarouge are the secondary battlers. Additionally, Hatterene can be seen as the healer, healing any Pokémon, even her own teammates, when they are injured and Pagogo can be seen as a protector, considering its ability to put up shields and purify [[Laquium]].

In battle, she shows great capability of using her Pokémon's unique traits, such as Meowscarada's invisible stem to confuse her opponents then tying them up and Hatterene's, while she was a Hattrem, psychic power to help detect enemies, as shown in ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', when she used her to guide Meowscarada around {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}'s attack. She also makes consistent use of her Armarouge's {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]] by letting it absorb fire attacks to strengthen itself while also protecting Meowscarada showcasing her talent in battle tactics as a Trainer. Furthermore, she is smart enough to counter her opponents strategy, demonstrated when she used her Armarouge's {{m|Clear Smog}} to eliminate the power up [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]]'s {{p|Salamence}} had with {{m|Dragon Dance}}.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Liko, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Liko is seen using {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Sprigatito}}, with Fuecoco, Charizard, and Quaxly being Pokémon that she was not seen using in the animated series, although it could be a reference to [[Roy's Fuecoco]], [[Friede's Charizard]], and [[Dot's Quaxly]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first
Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] Liko, [[Roy]], [[Friede]] or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==Trivia==
* Liko was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the animated series by the series' character designers.<ref name="anipoke20230303">[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name="LikoRoyConcept">[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Liko's first hairpin bears resemblance to a stylized “L” in addition to the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] logo featured on [[Ash's hat]] in the {{aniseries|OS}}. Her second hairpin both resembles the katakana character リ ''ri'' and the hiragana character こ ''ko'', which spells out her name. The second hairpin also looks similar to the logo on the first [[I Choose You! trilogy|''I Choose You!'' trilogy]] hat.
* Liko is the first female main character to:
** Be completely original to the animated series and not be based on any character from the games.
** Have obtained her first Pokémon outside her home region.
** Own a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}}.
*** She is also the first main character to receive a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as her first Pokémon.
** Have obtained a Pokémon in the first episode of a new series and battled a member of the [[Elite Four]] since {{an|Dawn}}.
** Own a [[Pokédex]] and a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon since {{an|Serena}}.
** Own a female-only Pokémon since {{an|Mallow}}.
** Own a single-stage Pokémon and have more than three in her [[party]] since {{an|Iris}}.
** Own a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Have obtained a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon and use an [[Evolution item]] since {{an|Misty}}.
** Have defeated a [[Gym Leader]] in a non-[[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]].
** Own a Fire-type that isn't a first partner Pokémon.

==Wild Pokémon==
{{incomplete|section|Needs info about First to 500 mode}}
Defeating wild Pokémon is the primary way of collecting Aeos energy. They will generally attack Trainers' Pokémon that come near or attack them and chase after them a limited distance. As the Unite Battle progresses, some will despawn while other, more powerful Pokémon will spawn. Pokémon marked with an asterisk (*) only appear at the Final Stretch or at the last minute of the match as the evolved form of previous wild Pokémon, while points marked with an asterisk are increased points during that stage. Pokémon in bold are playable in the Catch 'Em in Mer Stadium stage. The following is a list of wild Pokémon that can appear.

===Special wild Pokémon===
Special wild Pokémon will give the Pokémon that knocked them out buffs. These buffs include damage shields, increased damage against wild Pokémon with low HP, and decreasing the movement speed of enemies hit by the buffed Pokémon. Other wild Pokémon will assist the Pokémon that knocked them out by lowering the opposing team's goal's defenses. This allows goals to be scored faster. The following is a list of special wild Pokémon that can appear.

Banned episode

Kon00712: Removed redirect to Banned episodes

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Banned episode}}

'''Banned episode''' are episodes of the {{pkmn|animated series}} which have been deemed unsuitable for airing or reairing in a specific country.

== Banned episode internationally ==
There have been five confirmed episodes of Pokémon that have either aired once or never in {{pmin|Japan|Japan}}, nor the rest of the world.

=== List of Banned episode ===

; [[EP038]]
: This episode has been banned worldwide after airing only once in Japan. One particular scene of this episode had a series of flashing lights, which caused a total of approximately 685 Japanese children (375 girls and 310 boys) to be sent to the hospital with symptoms of epilepsy. The show went on hiatus for four months, delayed ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', and canceled the airing of the [[It's New Year's Eve! Pocket Monsters Encore|New Year's Eve special]]. The episode also forced the producers to go back through the previous episodes and dim the lighting on them so as not to cause an accident of this magnitude again. As a result of this episode, {{p|Porygon}} and its evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, have not made any appearances in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since EP038, except in brief cameos, with the latter only having made a cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.

=== List of unaired episodes ===

; [[It's New Year's Eve! Pocket Monsters Encore]]
: This episode was scheduled to be broadcast December 31, 1997, between ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]''. However, following the EP038 incident, the schedule was re-organized and this episode was never actually aired. No trailer for this episode has ever been seen, nor is any further information known apart from its Japanese title.
; [[AG101 (unaired)]]
: This episode was scheduled to be broadcast on November 4, 2004. However, not long before, a devastating {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake|earthquake}} struck Japan. Believing it would have been insensitive to air an episode where earthquakes were a plot element only mere weeks after the disaster, it was pulled from the air. The episode was never aired anywhere in the world, and the moves {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Magnitude}} have never been used in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since. Because the episode never aired, {{p|Barboach}} instead debuted in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', but only in a minor role, and {{Ash}} never learned the location of [[Sootopolis Gym|the final Hoenn League Gym]] onscreen.
; [[BW023 (unaired)]] and [[BW024 (unaired)]]
: This two-part saga of [[Team Rocket]] facing off with [[Team Plasma]] was postponed due to the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|earthquake and tsunami}} that devastated Japan almost a week before the first half was supposed to air. At the time, they were expected to air at a later date because of their significance to the series and TV Tokyo's word on the matter. While the episodes were simply skipped in Japan, The Pokémon Company International edited the dubbed version of ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' to remove the cliffhanger ending that set up the story, and all regions aired ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'' followed by ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' instead. As of ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', the episodes have been retconned out of continuity, making it unlikely that they will ever air or be shown in a normal manner. Their script was made public in May 2023, however, detailing the events that would've taken place in them.<ref>[[bmgf:bw023-bw024-unaired-scripts-found.297127/|BW023/BW024 (Unaired) Scripts FOUND. | Bulbagarden]]</ref>

== Banned episode in the English dub ==
Seven additional episodes have been banned in the {{pmin|the United States|United States}} and other regions that use the English dub. EP035, EP250, and SM064 are also banned in every other country outside of Asia as they have never been dubbed, due to most dubs being based on the English dub. EP018 was initially not dubbed, so it was never given to other countries to dub.

=== List of Banned episode ===
Note: the reasons given below may not have been corroborated officially.

; ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''
: This episode was initially banned when the episodes were first dubbed for airing in the United States. During 2000, the episode was finally dubbed and aired twice before disappearing once again. It was banned because [[James]] wore an inflatable body suit to give him large breasts in order to win a beauty contest (this scene was removed in the English version). An elderly man also stares at Misty's breasts, and in the original Japanese says that he will be looking forward to having fun with her in a few years. Some later episodes in the dub, particularly ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'', removed direct references to the events of this episode as a result of its initial removal.
; [[EP035]]
: This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode. [[Kaiser]], the {{safari|Kanto}} warden, points a gun at Ash's head a couple times, and even shoots the gun at {{TRT}} at one point. The banning of this episode left a major plot hole and a continuity error in the English dub, as this was the episode where Ash captured all 30 of his {{AP|Tauros}}. As this is the Safari Zone episode, it also makes the Safari Zone unseen in the English [[dub]], though it is mentioned in the two episodes that took place before it.
; ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''
: After this episode aired, a woman named {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}} wrote an article stating that {{p|Jynx}}, which was featured prominently in the episode, is a negative stereotype of African-Americans related to characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}''. Soon afterward, the episode was pulled from rotation and is not believed to have aired since 2000. Despite this, the episode was available [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|on VHS]], and was also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|the original Indigo DVD box set]] (however, it is not on the current box set). It is no longer mentioned on [[Pokémon.com]], but was (albeit lacking pictures of Jynx) before April 2013. Also, it was added to the rotation on {{wp|Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang}} in 2011, and still was included in Cartoon Network's online streaming services. Additionally, no restrictions were placed on this episode in other countries airing the English dub or a dub based on the English dub, but the episode isn't mentioned on any local versions of Pokémon.com. This episode has also been banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}. This episode is still banned even after the Japanese re-airing of the Christmas Eve episode of ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'', in which Jynx was recolored to match what she currently looks like in the Pokémon games. The Japanese versions of [[Prime Video]] and [[Netflix]] have the edited version while [[Hulu]] has the original version. This episode is also banned in [[Pokémon in South Asia|India]] after it first aired for unknown reasons. It was never re-aired on Hungama TV and Indian Disney XD reruns and was replaced by ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.
; ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' and ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''
: These [[Orange Islands]] episodes have been banned since April 2013 simply because of a small cameo by Jynx. They are not available on Netflix and are no longer even mentioned on [[Pokémon.com]]. They also are not available on the re-release of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 1)|the Orange Islands DVD box set]]. They were also never dubbed into local languages in [[Pokémon in South Asia|India]], only ever releasing in English dub on Jiocinema and were replaced in the TV airings by ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'' and ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'' respectively. The latter episode even marks the final time Jynx was ever shown in her original design in the English dub.
; [[EP250]]
: This episode was also banned due to the large focus on Jynx, whose purple redesign was not used in this episode. Unlike the previous episodes, this one has never aired in English. Because of this, it was banned and has never been seen outside of Japan, {{pmin|South Korea}}, {{pmin|Taiwan}}, and {{pmin|Hong Kong}}.
; [[SM064]]
: This ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' episode was banned due to Ash wearing dark face paint resembling {{wp|blackface}} during the second half of the episode in order to imitate the appearance of a {{p|Passimian}}. In the Korean dub on [[Netflix]], it was given the English title ''A Touchdown for the Team!''.

== Banned episode in Japan ==

; ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''
: The Japanese narrator of the short, Sakai Noriko, was arrested in 2009 and later convicted of possession and abuse of drugs. Because of this, the short was "banned" in Japan, and it hasn't been rerun or released on home video or VOD in Japan since then. As such, it was the only theatrical Pikachu short to be excluded from the ''Pikachu The Movie Premium Box: 1998-2010''.

== Banned episode in South Korea ==
These episodes were banned from airing in {{pmin|South Korea}}, causing frequent continuity errors in the South Korean [[dub]]'s run. Generally the Banned episode contained overt {{wp|Censorship of Japanese media in South Korea|references to Japanese culture}}; however, the last Banned episode occurred during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. Furthermore, episodes [[EP260]] to [[EP274]] were never aired; the [[Silver Conference]] episodes were later remastered and dubbed as ''[[Pokémon in South Korea#Pokémon anime|Pocket Monsters: Johto Region Story, The Final Chapter]]'' in 2024.

=== List of Banned episode ===

; ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|featuring a samurai}}. This creates a continuity error, as this episode features the evolved form of [[Ash's Butterfree|Ash's Metapod]].
; ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode featuring {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|several Japanese cultural events}}.
; ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''
: This episode has been banned likely due to [[Erika]]'s {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|traditional Japanese clothing}} worn in the perfume shop. This creates a continuity error, as Ash obtains the {{badge|Rainbow}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode featuring {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|several depictions of Japanese culture}}, including {{wp|ninja}}s and {{wp|kabuki}}. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Soul}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''
: Likely banned due to the depiction of traditional Japanese clothing and architecture. This creates a continuity error, as the [[EP059|very next episode]] continues from where this one left off.
; ''[[EP073|Bad To The Bone]]''
: Likely banned due to [[Otoshi]]'s samurai-like clothing.
; ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]''
: Likely banned due to [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s traditional Japanese clothing. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins his fourth [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]] match in this episode.
; ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]''
: Likely banned due to the [[Sprout Tower]]'s resemblance to traditional Japanese architecture.
; ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''
: Likely banned due to the traditional Japanese style of [[Falkner]]'s clothing. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Zephyr}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''
: Likely banned due to the episode's focus on Japanese culture, namely including a dojo and traditional Japanese archetecture.
; ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos]]''
: Likely banned due to the overt focus on Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''
; ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''
: Both likely banned due to the overt focus on Japanese culture featured in [[Ecruteak City]]. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Fog}} in the latter episode.
; ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''
: Likely banned due to the prominence of the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In animation|Kimono Sisters}}, whose outfits are based on those of Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]''
: Likely banned due to having Pokémon sumo wrestle, a Japanese style of fighting. This creates a continuity error in which Ash wins the [[King's Rock]], which {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} would later pick up to evolve into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.
; ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''
: Banned due to the fortune-telling show being similar to a {{wp|Shinto}} tradition.
; ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''
: Likely banned due to the prominence of the [[Kimono Girl#In animation|Kimono Sisters]], whose outfits are based on those of Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''
: These episodes generally covered elements of Japanese culture, such as sumo wrestling and geishas.
; ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]''
; ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]''
: These two episodes never aired in Korea, although this may have been an oversight, as they were released on DVD. On the other hand, they don't appear on the official {{tt|포켓몬스터 AG|Pokémon AG}} episode page<ref>[http://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=animation-series_view&IDX=15&page=1 포켓몬 공식 사이트; TV 애니메이션 - 포켓몬스터 AG]</ref>. This also creates a plot hole, since in the latter episode, Ash wins the {{badge|Heat}}.

== Banned episode in other countries ==
Occasionally there are episodes that are not banned in Japanese or English, but are banned in another country.

; ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''
: This episode was skipped in Turkey. The reason for this has never been officially revealed. This creates a continuity error, since the main characters first encounter {{an|Jigglypuff}} in this episode. When [[Netflix]] released the first season years later, the episode was not skipped this time.
; ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''
: This episode has been banned in several countries, including {{pmin|Ireland}} and Aruba. It has been alleged that the "battle of the sexes" format of the episode has caused those countries to ban the episode.

== Postponed episodes and temporary bans ==
Some episodes were pulled off the air for a period of time for various reasons but were aired on a later date.

; ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connossieur in a Fishy Competition!]]''
: This episode, originally meant to be the 26th episode of ''Best Wishes'', was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, but it was postponed because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. It later aired on June 23, 2011 in Japan and October 15, 2011 in the United States with a slightly altered storyline to make it seem like it took place between [[BW036]] and [[BW038]] rather than [[BW023]] and [[BW024]], the latter two episodes themselves originally meant to be the 25th and 27th episodes of ''Best Wishes''. All of the references of the episode taking place in [[Castelia City]] were removed, including a portion of the original Japanese title, and the ending of the episode was reanimated to have {{an|Bianca}} leave the group instead of begin traveling with them in the original episode's plot. This creates a continuity error in BW024, as Bianca is now revealed to have joined the group off-screen after BW023.

; ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
: This episode, which was set to debut {{p|Skrelp}} and {{p|Dragalge}} and prominently feature a sunken ship, was postponed due to the {{wp|Sinking of MV Sewol|sinking of the MV Sewol ferry in South Korea}} almost a week before the episode was scheduled to air in Japan.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sunma47/status/460501151461298176/photo/1 Sound director Masafumi Mima's Twitter account]</ref> Because of this, the episode was also skipped in the American dub. This caused a temporary continuity error, as this is the episode where Ash invented the "Rock Tomb Climb" technique, which he used to win his battle against [[Grant]]. {{wp|Cartoon Network}} {{n|Cartoon Network's schedule for June unveils new dub episode titles|listed the dub title}} along with ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', and ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''. Later, however, {{n|Turner Broadcasting press site removes 24th XY episode from the schedule|it was removed from the list}} and was replaced with ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''. The episode finally aired in Japan on November 20, 2014, and in the United States on February 7, 2015.

=== Temporarily Banned episode in the United States ===

; ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''
: After the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}, this episode was taken out of rotation. In the months following the attack, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} refused to air it due to the destruction of several buildings (particularly Tentacruel smashing a skyscraper) and the use of machine guns. When {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} started to air Pokémon, the episode was put back into rotation. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services. It was also temporarily banned for several weeks in 2005 following {{wp|Hurricane Katrina}}, due to it featuring a flooded city.
; ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: This episode was also temporarily banned after the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}. The official reason has never been confirmed, but many believe that the episode's title may have been the reason. The episode is no longer banned and continues to air. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services.
; ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]''
: This ten-minute short was originally added to the beginning of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' in television airings in Japan and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one onward as part of the kanzenban (Japanese: 完全版 full version) edition of the movie. Though the short was dubbed in English, it was ultimately excluded from all overseas versions of the film, most likely due to touching upon mature themes, such as cloning ethics and death. As a result, the short was never officially dubbed in any other language.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1998_pm_mewtwo_strikes_back/pm_mewtwo_strikes_back_kanzenban.html Dogasu's article on the Kanzenban release]</ref> The English dub of the short was eventually included as a special feature of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in Australia and on December 4, 2001 in the United States. Though the English dub of ''Mewtwo Returns'' has become available for digital stream overseas, such as through Disney Xfinity, the dub of the Origin short has only been included in the DVD release, which has since ceased production.<ref>[https://www.xfinity.com/stream/entity/9219255012595920112 Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns listing on Xfinity]</ref>

=== Postponed episodes in Japan ===

; [[JN023]]–[[JN029]]
: These episodes were temporarily postponed in Japan due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], but have all aired since.

==Banned episode internationally==
There have been five confirmed episodes of Pokémon that have either aired once or never in {{pmin|Japan|Japan}}, nor the rest of the world.

===List of Banned episode===
; [[EP038]]
: This episode has been banned worldwide after airing only once in Japan. One particular scene of this episode had a series of flashing lights, which caused a total of approximately 685 Japanese children (375 girls and 310 boys) to be sent to the hospital with symptoms of epilepsy. The show went on hiatus for four months, delayed ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', and canceled the airing of the [[It's New Year's Eve! Pocket Monsters Encore|New Year's Eve special]]. The episode also forced the producers to go back through the previous episodes and dim the lighting on them so as not to cause an accident of this magnitude again. As a result of this episode, {{p|Porygon}} and its evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, have not made any appearances in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since EP038, except in brief cameos, with the latter only having made a cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.

===List of unaired episodes===
; [[It's New Year's Eve! Pocket Monsters Encore]]
: This episode was scheduled to be broadcast December 31, 1997, between ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]''. However, following the EP038 incident, the schedule was re-organized and this episode was never actually aired. No trailer for this episode has ever been seen, nor is any further information known apart from its Japanese title.
; [[AG101 (unaired)]]
: This episode was scheduled to be broadcast on November 4, 2004. However, not long before, a devastating {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake|earthquake}} struck Japan. Believing it would have been insensitive to air an episode where earthquakes were a plot element only mere weeks after the disaster, it was pulled from the air. The episode was never aired anywhere in the world, and the moves {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Magnitude}} have never been used in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since. Because the episode never aired, {{p|Barboach}} instead debuted in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', but only in a minor role, and {{Ash}} never learned the location of [[Sootopolis Gym|the final Hoenn League Gym]] onscreen.
; [[BW023 (unaired)]] and [[BW024 (unaired)]]
: This two-part saga of [[Team Rocket]] facing off with [[Team Plasma]] was postponed due to the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|earthquake and tsunami}} that devastated Japan almost a week before the first half was supposed to air. At the time, they were expected to air at a later date because of their significance to the series and TV Tokyo's word on the matter. While the episodes were simply skipped in Japan, The Pokémon Company International edited the dubbed version of ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' to remove the cliffhanger ending that set up the story, and all regions aired ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'' followed by ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' instead. As of ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', the episodes have been retconned out of continuity, making it unlikely that they will ever air or be shown in a normal manner. Their script was made public in May 2023, however, detailing the events that would've taken place in them.<ref>[https://bulbagarden.net/threads/bw023-bw024-unaired-scripts-found.297127/ BW023/BW024 (Unaired) Scripts FOUND. | Bulbagarden]</ref>

==Banned episode in the English dub==
Seven additional episodes have been banned in the {{pmin|the United States|United States}} and other regions that use the English dub. EP035, EP250, and SM064 are also banned in every other country outside of Asia as they have never been dubbed, due to most dubs being based on the English dub. EP018 was initially not dubbed, so it was never given to other countries to dub.

===List of Banned episode===
Note: the reasons given below may not have been corroborated officially.
; ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''
: This episode was initially banned when the episodes were first dubbed for airing in the United States. During 2000, the episode was finally dubbed and aired twice before disappearing once again. It was banned because [[James]] wore an inflatable body suit to give him large breasts in order to win a beauty contest (this scene was removed in the English version). An elderly man also stares at Misty's breasts, and in the original Japanese says that he will be looking forward to having fun with her in a few years. Some later episodes in the dub, particularly ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'', removed direct references to the events of this episode as a result of its initial removal.
; [[EP035]]
: This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode. [[Kaiser]], the {{safari|Kanto}} warden, points a gun at Ash's head a couple times, and even shoots the gun at {{TRT}} at one point. The banning of this episode left a major plot hole and a continuity error in the English dub, as this was the episode where Ash captured all 30 of his {{AP|Tauros}}. As this is the Safari Zone episode, it also makes the Safari Zone unseen in the English [[dub]], though it is mentioned in the two episodes that took place before it.
; ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''
: After this episode aired, a woman named {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}} wrote an article stating that {{p|Jynx}}, which was featured prominently in the episode, is a negative stereotype of African-Americans related to characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}''. Soon afterward, the episode was pulled from rotation and is not believed to have aired since 2000. Despite this, the episode was available [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|on VHS]], and was also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|the original Indigo DVD box set]] (however, it is not on the current box set). It is no longer mentioned on [[Pokémon.com]], but was (albeit lacking pictures of Jynx) before April 2013. Also, it was added to the rotation on {{wp|Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang}} in 2011, and still was included in Cartoon Network's online streaming services. Additionally, no restrictions were placed on this episode in other countries airing the English dub or a dub based on the English dub, but the episode isn't mentioned on any local versions of Pokémon.com. This episode has also been banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}. This episode is still banned even after the Japanese re-airing of the Christmas Eve episode of ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'', in which Jynx was recolored to match what she currently looks like in the Pokémon games. The Japanese versions of [[Prime Video]] and [[Netflix]] have the edited version while [[Hulu]] has the original version. This episode is also banned in [[Pokémon in South Asia|India]] after it first aired for unknown reasons. It was never re-aired on Hungama TV and Indian Disney XD reruns and was replaced by ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.
; ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' and ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''
: These [[Orange Islands]] episodes have been banned since April 2013 simply because of a small cameo by Jynx. They are not available on Netflix and are no longer even mentioned on [[Pokémon.com]]. They also are not available on the re-release of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 1)|the Orange Islands DVD box set]]. They were also never dubbed into local languages in [[Pokémon in South Asia|India]], only ever releasing in English dub on Jiocinema and were replaced in the TV airings by ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'' and ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'' respectively. The latter episode even marks the final time Jynx was ever shown in her original design in the English dub.
; [[EP250]]
: This episode was also banned due to the large focus on Jynx, whose purple redesign was not used in this episode. Unlike the previous episodes, this one has never aired in English. Because of this, it was banned and has never been seen outside of Japan, {{pmin|South Korea}}, {{pmin|Taiwan}}, and {{pmin|Hong Kong}}.
; [[SM064]]
: This ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' episode was banned due to Ash wearing dark face paint resembling {{wp|blackface}} during the second half of the episode in order to imitate the appearance of a {{p|Passimian}}. In the Korean dub on [[Netflix]], it was given the English title ''A Touchdown for the Team!''.

==Banned episode in Japan==
;''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''
:The Japanese narrator of the short, Sakai Noriko, was arrested in 2009 and later convicted of possession and abuse of drugs. Because of this, the short was "banned" in Japan, and it hasn't been rerun or released on home video or VOD in Japan since then. As such, it was the only theatrical Pikachu short to be excluded from the ''Pikachu The Movie Premium Box: 1998-2010''.

==Banned episode in South Korea==
These episodes were banned from airing in {{pmin|South Korea}}, causing frequent continuity errors in the South Korean [[dub]]'s run. Generally the Banned episode contained overt {{wp|Censorship of Japanese media in South Korea|references to Japanese culture}}; however, the last Banned episode occurred during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''. Furthermore, episodes [[EP260]] to [[EP274]] were never aired; the [[Silver Conference]] episodes were later remastered and dubbed as ''[[Pokémon in South Korea#Pokémon anime|Pocket Monsters: Johto Region Story, The Final Chapter]]'' in 2024.

===List of Banned episode===
; ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|featuring a samurai}}. This creates a continuity error, as this episode features the evolved form of [[Ash's Butterfree|Ash's Metapod]].
; ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode featuring {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|several Japanese cultural events}}.
; ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''
: This episode has been banned likely due to [[Erika]]'s {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|traditional Japanese clothing}} worn in the perfume shop. This creates a continuity error, as Ash obtains the {{badge|Rainbow}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode featuring {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|several depictions of Japanese culture}}, including {{wp|ninja}}s and {{wp|kabuki}}. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Soul}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''
:Likely banned due to the depiction of traditional Japanese clothing and architecture. This creates a continuity error, as the [[EP059|very next episode]] continues from where this one left off.
; ''[[EP073|Bad To The Bone]]''
:Likely banned due to [[Otoshi]]'s samurai-like clothing.
; ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]''
:Likely banned due to [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s traditional Japanese clothing. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins his fourth [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]] match in this episode.
; ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]''
:Likely banned due to the [[Sprout Tower]]'s resemblance to traditional Japanese architecture.
; ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''
:Likely banned due to the traditional Japanese style of [[Falkner]]'s clothing. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Zephyr}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''
:Likely banned due to the episode's focus on Japanese culture, namely including a dojo and traditional Japanese archetecture.
; ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos]]''
:Likely banned due to the overt focus on Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''
; ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''
:Both likely banned due to the overt focus on Japanese culture featured in [[Ecruteak City]]. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Fog}} in the latter episode.
; ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''
:Likely banned due to the prominence of the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In animation|Kimono Sisters}}, whose outfits are based on those of Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]''
:Likely banned due to having Pokémon sumo wrestle, a Japanese style of fighting. This creates a continuity error in which Ash wins the [[King's Rock]], which {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} would later pick up to evolve into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.
; ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''
:Banned due to the fortune-telling show being similar to a {{wp|Shinto}} tradition.
; ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''
:Likely banned due to the prominence of the [[Kimono Girl#In animation|Kimono Sisters]], whose outfits are based on those of Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''
: These episodes generally covered elements of Japanese culture, such as sumo wrestling and geishas.
; ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]''
; ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]''
: These two episodes never aired in Korea, although this may have been an oversight, as they were released on DVD. On the other hand, they don't appear on the official {{tt|포켓몬스터 AG|Pokémon AG}} episode page<ref>[http://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=animation-series_view&IDX=15&page=1 포켓몬 공식 사이트; TV 애니메이션 - 포켓몬스터 AG]</ref>. This also creates a plot hole, since in the latter episode, Ash wins the {{badge|Heat}}.

==Banned episode in other countries==
Occasionally there are episodes that are not banned in Japanese or English, but are banned in another country.
; ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''
: This episode was skipped in Turkey. The reason for this has never been officially revealed. This creates a continuity error, since the main characters first encounter {{an|Jigglypuff}} in this episode. When [[Netflix]] released the first season years later, the episode was not skipped this time.
; ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''
: This episode has been banned in several countries, including {{pmin|Ireland}} and Aruba. It has been alleged that the "battle of the sexes" format of the episode has caused those countries to ban the episode.

==Postponed episodes and temporary bans==
Some episodes were pulled off the air for a period of time for various reasons but were aired on a later date.

; ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connossieur in a Fishy Competition!]]''
: This episode, originally meant to be the 26th episode of ''Best Wishes'', was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, but it was postponed because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. It later aired on June 23, 2011 in Japan and October 15, 2011 in the United States with a slightly altered storyline to make it seem like it took place between [[BW036]] and [[BW038]] rather than [[BW023]] and [[BW024]], the latter two episodes themselves originally meant to be the 25th and 27th episodes of ''Best Wishes''. All of the references of the episode taking place in [[Castelia City]] were removed, including a portion of the original Japanese title, and the ending of the episode was reanimated to have {{an|Bianca}} leave the group instead of begin traveling with them in the original episode's plot. This creates a continuity error in BW024, as Bianca is now revealed to have joined the group off-screen after BW023.

; ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
: This episode, which was set to debut {{p|Skrelp}} and {{p|Dragalge}} and prominently feature a sunken ship, was postponed due to the {{wp|Sinking of MV Sewol|sinking of the MV Sewol ferry in South Korea}} almost a week before the episode was scheduled to air in Japan.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sunma47/status/460501151461298176/photo/1 Sound director Masafumi Mima's Twitter account]</ref> Because of this, the episode was also skipped in the American dub. This caused a temporary continuity error, as this is the episode where Ash invented the "Rock Tomb Climb" technique, which he used to win his battle against [[Grant]]. {{wp|Cartoon Network}} {{n|Cartoon Network's schedule for June unveils new dub episode titles|listed the dub title}} along with ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', and ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''. Later, however, {{n|Turner Broadcasting press site removes 24th XY episode from the schedule|it was removed from the list}} and was replaced with ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''. The episode finally aired in Japan on November 20, 2014, and in the United States on February 7, 2015.

===Temporarily Banned episode in the United States===
; ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''
: After the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}, this episode was taken out of rotation. In the months following the attack, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} refused to air it due to the destruction of several buildings (particularly Tentacruel smashing a skyscraper) and the use of machine guns. When {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} started to air Pokémon, the episode was put back into rotation. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services. It was also temporarily banned for several weeks in 2005 following {{wp|Hurricane Katrina}}, due to it featuring a flooded city.
; ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
:This episode was also temporarily banned after the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}. The official reason has never been confirmed, but many believe that the episode's title may have been the reason. The episode is no longer banned and continues to air. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services.
; ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]
: This ten-minute short was originally added to the beginning of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' in television airings in Japan and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one onward as part of the kanzenban (Japanese: 完全版 full version) edition of the movie. Though the short was dubbed in English, it was ultimately excluded from all overseas versions of the film, most likely due to touching upon mature themes, such as cloning ethics and death. As a result, the short was never officially dubbed in any other language.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1998_pm_mewtwo_strikes_back/pm_mewtwo_strikes_back_kanzenban.html Dogasu's article on the Kanzenban release]</ref> The English dub of the short was eventually included as a special feature of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in Australia and on December 4, 2001 in the United States. Though the English dub of ''Mewtwo Returns'' has become available for digital stream overseas, such as through Disney Xfinity, the dub of the Origin short has only been included in the DVD release, which has since ceased production.<ref>[https://www.xfinity.com/stream/entity/9219255012595920112 Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns listing on Xfinity]</ref>

===Postponed episodes in Japan===
; [[JN023]]–[[JN029]]
: These episodes were temporarily postponed in Japan due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], but have all aired since.

: This episode has been banned likely due to [[Erika]]'s {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|traditional Japanese clothing}} worn in the perfume shop. This creates a continuity error, as Ash obtains the {{badge|Rainbow}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''
: This episode has been banned due to the episode featuring {{wp|Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea|several depictions of Japanese culture}}, including {{wp|ninja}}s and {{wp|kabuki}}. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Soul}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''
:Likely banned due to the depiction of traditional Japanese clothing and architecture. This creates a continuity error, as the [[EP059|very next episode]] continues from where this one left off.
; ''[[EP073|Bad To The Bone]]''
:Likely banned due to [[Otoshi]]'s samurai-like clothing.
; ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]''
:Likely banned due to [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s traditional Japanese clothing. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins his fourth [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]] match in this episode.
; ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]''
:Likely banned due to the [[Sprout Tower]]'s resemblance to traditional Japanese architecture.
; ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''
:Likely banned due to the traditional Japanese style of [[Falkner]]'s clothing. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Zephyr}} in this episode.
; ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''
:Likely banned due to the episode's focus on Japanese culture, namely including a dojo and traditional Japanese archetecture.
; ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos]]''
:Likely banned due to the overt focus on Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''
; ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''
:Both likely banned due to the overt focus on Japanese culture featured in [[Ecruteak City]]. This creates a continuity error, as Ash wins the {{badge|Fog}} in the latter episode.
; ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''
:Likely banned due to the prominence of the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In animation|Kimono Sisters}}, whose outfits are based on those of Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]''
:Likely banned due to having Pokémon sumo wrestle, a Japanese style of fighting. This creates a continuity error in which Ash wins the [[King's Rock]], which {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} would later pick up to evolve into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.
; ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''
:Banned due to the fortune-telling show being similar to a {{wp|Shinto}} tradition.
; ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]''
:Likely banned due to the prominence of the [[Kimono Girl#In animation|Kimono Sisters]], whose outfits are based on those of Japanese culture.
; ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''
: These episodes generally covered elements of Japanese culture, such as sumo wrestling and geishas.
; ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]''
; ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]''
: These two episodes never aired in Korea, although this may have been an oversight, as they were released on DVD. On the other hand, they don't appear on the official {{tt|포켓몬스터 AG|Pokémon AG}} episode page<ref>[http://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=animation-series_view&IDX=15&page=1 포켓몬 공식 사이트; TV 애니메이션 - 포켓몬스터 AG]</ref>. This also creates a plot hole, since in the latter episode, Ash wins the {{badge|Heat}}.

==Banned episodes in other countries==
Occasionally there are episodes that are not banned in Japanese or English, but are banned in another country.
; ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''
: This episode was skipped in Turkey. The reason for this has never been officially revealed. This creates a continuity error, since the main characters first encounter {{an|Jigglypuff}} in this episode. When [[Netflix]] released the first season years later, the episode was not skipped this time.
; ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''
: This episode has been banned in several countries, including {{pmin|Ireland}} and Aruba. It has been alleged that the "battle of the sexes" format of the episode has caused those countries to ban the episode.

==Postponed episodes and temporary bans==
Some episodes were pulled off the air for a period of time for various reasons but were aired on a later date.

; ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connossieur in a Fishy Competition!]]''
: This episode, originally meant to be the 26th episode of ''Best Wishes'', was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, but it was postponed because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. It later aired on June 23, 2011 in Japan and October 15, 2011 in the United States with a slightly altered storyline to make it seem like it took place between [[BW036]] and [[BW038]] rather than [[BW023]] and [[BW024]], the latter two episodes themselves originally meant to be the 25th and 27th episodes of ''Best Wishes''. All of the references of the episode taking place in [[Castelia City]] were removed, including a portion of the original Japanese title, and the ending of the episode was reanimated to have {{an|Bianca}} leave the group instead of begin traveling with them in the original episode's plot. This creates a continuity error in BW024, as Bianca is now revealed to have joined the group off-screen after BW023.

; ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]''
: This episode, which was set to debut {{p|Skrelp}} and {{p|Dragalge}} and prominently feature a sunken ship, was postponed due to the {{wp|Sinking of MV Sewol|sinking of the MV Sewol ferry in South Korea}} almost a week before the episode was scheduled to air in Japan.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sunma47/status/460501151461298176/photo/1 Sound director Masafumi Mima's Twitter account]</ref> Because of this, the episode was also skipped in the American dub. This caused a temporary continuity error, as this is the episode where Ash invented the "Rock Tomb Climb" technique, which he used to win his battle against [[Grant]]. {{wp|Cartoon Network}} {{n|Cartoon Network's schedule for June unveils new dub episode titles|listed the dub title}} along with ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', and ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''. Later, however, {{n|Turner Broadcasting press site removes 24th XY episode from the schedule|it was removed from the list}} and was replaced with ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''. The episode finally aired in Japan on November 20, 2014, and in the United States on February 7, 2015.

===Temporarily banned episodes in the United States===
; ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''
: After the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}, this episode was taken out of rotation. In the months following the attack, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} refused to air it due to the destruction of several buildings (particularly Tentacruel smashing a skyscraper) and the use of machine guns. When {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} started to air Pokémon, the episode was put back into rotation. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services. It was also temporarily banned for several weeks in 2005 following {{wp|Hurricane Katrina}}, due to it featuring a flooded city.
; ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
:This episode was also temporarily banned after the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}. The official reason has never been confirmed, but many believe that the episode's title may have been the reason. The episode is no longer banned and continues to air. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services.
; ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]
: This ten-minute short was originally added to the beginning of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' in television airings in Japan and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one onward as part of the kanzenban (Japanese: 完全版 full version) edition of the movie. Though the short was dubbed in English, it was ultimately excluded from all overseas versions of the film, most likely due to touching upon mature themes, such as cloning ethics and death. As a result, the short was never officially dubbed in any other language.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1998_pm_mewtwo_strikes_back/pm_mewtwo_strikes_back_kanzenban.html Dogasu's article on the Kanzenban release]</ref> The English dub of the short was eventually included as a special feature of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in Australia and on December 4, 2001 in the United States. Though the English dub of ''Mewtwo Returns'' has become available for digital stream overseas, such as through Disney Xfinity, the dub of the Origin short has only been included in the DVD release, which has since ceased production.<ref>[https://www.xfinity.com/stream/entity/9219255012595920112 Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns listing on Xfinity]</ref>

===Postponed episodes in Japan===
; [[JN023]]–[[JN029]]
: These episodes were temporarily postponed in Japan due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], but have all aired since.
