'''Serena's Pancham''' (Japanese: '''セレナのヤンチャム''' ''Serena's Yancham'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by {{an|Serena}} and her second overall.

==History==
[[File:Serena and Pancham.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena and Pancham]]
Pancham first appeared in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]''. It interrupted a performance by a Pokémon Performer called [[Kayleigh]], at a Rookie Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] in [[Lagoon Town]]. Serena, who was in the crowd, watched Pancham with interest. Pancham proceeded to jump to the ceiling, grabbing a stage lamp. However, the lamp broke and Pancham fell on the stage. Pancham proceeded to cause trouble, disabling the security personnel by pushing a freight trolly in to them. It then ran off, exiting the building. Outside, it threw a stick on [[Clemont's Chespin]]'s head, afterwards taunting it. This made Chespin angry, and it ran after Pancham, who ran towards a forest. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} also followed it. When Ash started calling for Pancham, it jumped out of a tree, stealing [[Ash's hat]]. Afterwards it also managed to steal {{an|Clemont}}'s glasses and ran off again.

Serena then spotted it at a river and watched how it danced and performed. As such she figured Pancham loved performing. Serena then showed herself to Pancham, but this caused it to run off again. Serena discovered its hideout, and found out it had collected many items it used for performing. Serena offered it a pair of her own sunglasses, but it acted indifferent to this. It ran off once more and later fell asleep in an open field. There, it was found by Ash, Clemont and {{an|Bonnie}}, who woke it up and forced it to return their belongings. However, Serena came running in, announcing she wanted to catch it. She told the group about Pancham's passion for performing, and thought it had just wanted to show its performance to the crowd at the Pokémon Showcase earlier. Pancham accepted Serena's request to battle it, so she could try to catch it.

Pancham battled against [[Serena's Fennekin]]. But just as the battle started, Fennekin was stolen by {{TRT}}. Pancham stood up and battled Team Rocket for interrupting its battle with Serena. It later saved Serena when [[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]] attacked her. After Team Rocket was blasted off, its battle against Serena's Fennekin continued. Fennekin managed to temporally stun it, and Serena then threw a [[Poké Ball]] at Pancham, but the capture was not successful. After weakening it some more, she tried again, and this time Pancham was successfully caught. Afterwards, Serena gave Pancham the sunglasses she had offered it earlier.

In ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', Pancham constantly quarreled with Clemont's Chespin, after Chespin ate all the Poképuffs. While fighting against each other they accidently disturbed [[Nini]] {{pkmn|training}} with her Smoochum and Farfetch'd for her upcoming [[Pokémon Showcase]]. When Nini learned Serena was a Pokémon Performer as well she wanted Serena to show her performance. Seeing Serena's Pancham dance and her Smoochum having a crush on Pancham, Nini wanted to [[trade]] a Pokémon for Pancham, but Serena declined. A disguised Team Rocket then appeared and managed to steal Pancham, Chespin, Fennekin, Smoochum and Farfetch'd. While trapped inside of a ball, Pancham and Chespin again quarreled causing them to escape from the ball. Team Rocket however quickly found them again and managed to injure Fennekin, Smoochum and Farfetch'd forcing Pancham and Chespin to work together. Eventually they got reunited with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and together Pancham and Chespin defeated Team Rocket. Although it seemed the two finally understood each other Pancham and Chespin quickly began to quarrel again after the battle.
[[File:Clemont Chespin and Serena Pancham.png|thumb|250px|right|Pancham's rivalry with Chespin]]

In [[XY064]], Serena began training Pancham and Fennekin for a new technique for their next Pokémon Showcase, it initially went well, however it failed when Pancham missed Fennekin's Fire Ring and burned itself, causing Pancham to become angry towards Fennekin who also became angry and they became ambivalent towards each other, another attempt at the Fire Ring failed, causing Pancham to crash into Fennekin, their fighting caused Fennekin to hit Serena with a Flamethrower. Serena became angry at them causing them to stop and in her frustration, she ran away, upsetting Fennekin and Pancham for most of the day. Pancham was happy when she returned. Serena and {{an|Aria}}, who Serena met when she was away, had a Performance Double Battle, using Fennekin and Pancham against Aria's {{p|Delphox}} and {{p|Aromatisse}}. Fennekin struggled with Aromatisse and its {{m|Reflect}} and Pancham was hit with {{m|Mystical Fire}}, after its {{m|Stone Edge}} was blocked by Reflect, after some advice from Aria, Serena decided to combine their moves with Fennekin using Pancham's Stone Edge to climb up and launch a Flamethrower from the air, but this was countered and overpowered by Delphox's Flamethrower, injuring her, Pancham tried to protect Fennekin, putting itself in danger and blocking Aromatisse's {{m|Charge Beam}} with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but it was being overpowered, after Fennekin evolved into {{p|Braixen}}, Pancham was able to destroy Charge Beam. Pancham launched Dark Pulse whilst Braixen launched Flamethrower, dealing major damage to Delphox and Aromatisse, but Aria was called away, cancelling their battle.

==Personality and characteristics==
At first, Pancham was shown to be very mischievous, causing chaos at a Pokémon Showcase, taunting Clemont's Chespin, and stealing Ash and Clemont's belongings. However, Serena discovered it acted this way because it loved performing. It also appeared indifferent at first at Serena's attempts to become friendly with it. Later, it was shown to be courageous, challenging Team Rocket because they interrupted its battle with Serena.

After Serena caught it, Pancham was shown to be friendly to her and looking forward to performing with her in Pokémon Showcases. Compared to {{TP|Serena|Braixen}}, however, Pancham tends to be more curt when showing affection to or receiving affection from its Trainer and others. In the latter case, Pancham will usually look away, embarrassed, and try to act cool and maintain its composure.

Pancham is easily annoyed, as shown in ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'' and ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'' where it quickly got into a fight with [[Clemont's Chespin]] and in ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'' where it was annoyed by [[Ash's Goomy]] nibbling on it and its sunglasses, it has also shown to be temperamental as in [[XY064]] Pancham got angry with Fennekin, after Pancham was burned during training despite it being an accident, though Pancham later got over this.

==In Tretta==
{{main|Pancham (U1-01)}}
In [[Pokémon Tretta]], Serena and her Pancham appear as a Master-class Tretta in the ''{{Tretta|Dragon Ascent! Black Mega Rayquaza Flight}}'' expansion. When Pancham is in play, it appears wearing its trademark sunglasses.

==Trivia==
* Pancham's capture marks the longest duration between one of [[Ash's friends]]' first and second captures, taking 43 episodes.
* Pancham is the first pure {{t|Fighting}} type to be caught by a main character since [[Ash's Primeape]]. Coincidentally, both of them stole [[Ash's hat]].
* The sunglasses that Pancham wears are based off of a red version of the sunglasses that {{ga|Serena}} wears in the games.

* [[Professor Oak's lecture|Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Pangoro}}
** For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the [[Professor Oak's lecture|Pokémon Holo Caster]] segment, a quiz of the released ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' was shown with the exclusive 3DS viewers can win.
* The regular opening sequence is replaced with clips from ''[[M17|Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. Although this is a standard practice with some Japanese shows when a tie-in movie is released, this marks the first time it has occured on ''[[Pokémon anime|Pokémon]]''.
* The [[XY038|next episode]] preview is narrated by {{an|Clemont}}, {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.
** This preview is a parody of {{wp|radio drama}}s. Unlike most previews narrated by several characters, Clemont is the only one actually reciting a synopsis, while Ash, Bonnie and Serena provide reactions according to his narration. Also, just like in [[XY014]], no background music plays during the preview.

===Errors===
* When Ash jumpes to his dimension, Altern Ash's Pikachu disappears but when Ash gets to his dimension, Altern Pikachu is seen on Altern Ash's shoulder.

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is a main character of [[Pokémon Origins]] and the rival of {{OBP|Red|Origins}}.
{{spoilers}}


==History==
[[File:Red-Blue rivalry PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Blue with his rival, Red]]
Blue made his first appearance in [[Pallet Town]], where he met up with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} on his way to receive a Pokémon from [[Professor Oak]]. After racing each other on their way to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]], Blue was given a Pokédex and chose a {{p|Squirtle}}, as it had a type-advantage to Red's {{p|Charmander}}. Afterward, he immediately left to start his journey to become the world's strongest Trainer. He met up with Red again near [[Viridian City]] and challenged his rival to a battle. Blue's Squirtle easily managed to dodge all of Charmander's attacks and deal heavy damage. Eventually, Red forfeited the match once he saw that Charmander was overwhelmed by Squirtle's power. Blue taunted Red for his loss and continued on his journey.

In [[PO02]], Blue decided to investigate the [[Pokémon Tower]] to get rid of [[Team Rocket]] and become a hero. However, once he got there, Blue encountered an actual {{OBP|ghost|literal}} and ran away terrified of it. He bumped into Red and stated that they needed to get away. Red decided to stay and fight, so Blue continued upstairs, where he found and defeated a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} with {{p|Wartortle}}. Upon defeating the Grunt, he obtained a [[Silph Scope]], which he gave to Red so that he could identify the ghost and stop it. Once Team Rocket had been driven out, Blue encountered Red leaving [[Lavender Town]]. He bragged about helping Red defeating Team Rocket, only for Red to point out that he was terrified the entire time.

In [[PO03]], Blue helped Red rescue the [[Silph Co.]] vice-president from Team Rocket. Despite learning about what Team Rocket had done to the wild Pokémon they captured and the threat of the [[Master Ball]] they were trying to create, Blue showed no interest in helping the captured employees. Angered, Red forced Blue to help by telling him to inform the authorities of what had been going on while he went on and saved everyone else.

In [[PO04]], Blue had become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. After defeating the Elite Four, Red faced Blue as his final challenge. Both parties battled hard, but Red eventually came out the victor. Professor Oak arrived to celebrate Red's victory and berated Blue for not putting his trust in his Pokémon. Sometime later, Red returned to Professor Oak's lab to evaluate his completed Pokédex. There, he found Blue, resting with heavy injuries that he got from battling a {{p|Mewtwo|powerful Pokémon}} in [[Cerulean Cave]].

Since the Pokémon he faced destroyed his Pokédex, any data it would have recorded was gone. Blue noticed that Red did not have the Pokémon in his Pokédex, meaning the one he faced was an undiscovered species. Despite Blue's warnings, Red decides to go and face the Pokémon, which he found was named Mewtwo and caught after a long battle. Once Red returned from the battle, Blue angrily mutters to himself about his loss of his Champion title and Red's capture of Mewtwo.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Ash and Snivy]]

Appearing in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Snivy was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}} who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.

Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}) succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's Ability, {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.

In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her [[Poké Ball]] by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-{{m|Leaf Storm}} combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball amongst those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine]]'s [[Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with Excadrill's {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Clay]] and his {{p|Palpitoad}}. She easily defeated the Vibration Pokémon after immobilizing him with Attract and hitting him with all her other moves, all without taking a single hit. She stayed in the battle to take on Clay's {{p|Excadrill}}, but all of her attacks were blocked by the Subterrene Pokémon's {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, even preventing her Attract, and she was eventually taken out by its [[one-hit knockout move]]: {{m|Horn Drill}}.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle with {{un|Cameron}}, sending her out to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. Riolu started the battle with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, quickly recovered and used {{m|Copycat}}, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use {{m|Force Palm}} on her. Before Snivy could recover from the hit, Riolu carried on with a {{m|Circle Throw}}, sending the Grass Snake Pokémon flying into the arena wall. Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which made a direct hit. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy used Leaf Storm to counter it. The {{type|Grass}} attack overpowered the {{type|Fighting}} move and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, this resulted that Riolu suddenly evolved into {{p|Lucario}}, a much more formidable opponent. When the battle continued in [[BW108|the next episode]], Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent, hitting it with Leaf Blade and Vine Whip. Despite of this, Lucario hit back with Force Palm, swung Snivy around by her own Vine Whip, and finally finished her off with its newly learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Snivy was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and {{an|N}} dig up to the surface of the [[White Ruins]] after they had fallen into a pit. While battling Team Plasma, Snivy dealt massive damage to two controlled {{p|Golurk}} with her Leaf Storm attack. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Snivy was quickly recalled to her Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is revealed that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer.

* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was Ash's last capture of the three Unova starters. To contrast, in the previous four regions, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash.
* Snivy is the only one of the three Unova starter Pokémon that Ash caught by battling, as the other two simply let him catch them.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Ash and Snivy]]

Appearing in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Snivy was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}} who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.

Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}) succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's Ability, {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.

Pao27: /* No picture with Ash */ new section

<big><big><big>Please don't post about Charizard's gender being unknown. It's very annoying. Our policy is that the gender stays unknown until someone in the anime calls it a male or female.</big></big></big>

==Archives==
*[[Talk:Ash's Charizard/Archive 1|Archive 1]] (discussions from January 14, 2007 – January 4, 2009)

__TOC__

==Ability==
I'm not sure if it should be editted in, but since Charizard DO only have {{a|Blaze|one ability}}, shouldn't Charizard's ability be listed as Blaze? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - [[User:Sk8torchic|Sk8torchic]]. 16:27, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Unlike [[May's Blaziken]] and [[Ash's Chimchar]], it has yet to show its ability in the anime. Yes, in the games, it has only one ability.. But since it's the anime, we are clueless of what the writers could do. D: '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 16:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

If Charizard comes back in the D&P League then maybe they could have ash mention it while he is there {{unsigned|MR115}}

==Steel Wing==
Text says it used it in the fight against Kevin, table says in battle against Brandon. What's right? --×[[User talk:Impoleon xy|'''Impoleon xy''']]× 16:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

==Protected?==
Why is this page protected? I was just going to add a bit of trivia about it. [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 07:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
:Someone keeps adding images. Try checking the article's history next time. :D [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 07:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
::Can an admin add that until ''Charizard Chills'', Charizard only seems to want to obey Ash while fighting another Fire Pokemon? (Blaine's Magmar, Mewtwo's cloned Charizard, and Richie's Charmander) [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 07:18, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

==Fly?==
Unlike the situation with Ash's squirtle and Surf (Ash's squirtle has never outright used or was issued to use the ''move'' Surf) Ash's Charizard actually learned to fly with ash on its back in Charizards Burning Ambition. Although it has never been used in battle Charizard did explicitly learn it so should it be counted as a move it knows? -- [[User:D558|D558]] 01:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
:I agree. Also, unless I'm mistaken, Ash has commanded charizard to "Use Fly!" on multiple occosions, especially in Fighting Flyer with Fire. I think someone should add it. --[[User:Gen1king|''GEN'']]1[[User talk:Gen1king|KING]] 01:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
::Nope, this issue has already been resolved before. See [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Charizard&diff=906293&oldid=906286 here]. --[[User:Rockersk08|rock]][[User talk:Rockersk08|ersk]][[Special:Contributions/Rockersk08|08]] 01:40, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
:::Actually if you watch "Charizard Chills" Ash says "Charizard Fly" which can be taken as Charizard using the fly move to get up out of range of attacks but(if it was in the game) missing with the next attack. Though truth be told a lot of the moves in the anime are way different to the games as in the anime Pikachu's Agility and Quick Attack are pretty much the same as Pikachu has always hit the opponent when using Agility. So in truth we probably shouldn't list attacks at all since they could be inaccurate.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 11:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Mega Punch ==

I think it should be noted in the moves section that Ash commanded Charizard to use Mega Punch in Charizard Chills, which implies that he had learned it. --[[User:Gen1king|''GEN'']]1[[User talk:Gen1king|KING]] 05:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== '''Fire Spin?''' ==

Episode 32 of the season 1 [[The Ninja Poké-Showdown]] during the battle between Koga's Golbat and Ash's Charmander, was the first time [[Fire Spin]] was used by Ash's Charmander, not as Charizard in Fighting Flyer with Fire. {{unsigned|Pookiemon}}

== Charizard Disobeying Ash ==
Can someone put a picture of Ash's CHarizard ingnoring his orders? I uploaded one but the admins removed it.

[[User:Pedraito|Pedraito]] 22:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
*I agree, Charizard either disobeying or attacking Ash has been a huge part of its character and would be appropriate for an image to be placed on here of either one. I have one from [[AG189]] that would work well, and it's in good quality... [[User:Johno1995|Johno1995]] 03:05, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Uh, Oh... ==

Who changed the main picture of Ash's Charizard? I like it a lot better, but there was already a debate about this. I '''seriously''' hope this doesn't lead to another edit-war... --[[User:Gen1king|'''GE''']][[User talk:Gen1king|'''N1''']][[Special:Contributions/Gen1king|'''KI''''''NG''']] 04:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== Charizard's Gender ==

Given that [[DP149]] confirmed without a doubt that Pokémon of the same gender cannot fall in love then doesn't this mean that, due to the romance with Charla, Charizard is ''definitely'' male? [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 16:57, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
:In that case, we do have proof that Ash's Torterra is a male Pokémon but we can't put it until or unless it is clearly said or mentioned in the anime. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
::Look at this big note on the top bar of this discussion page.
::''Please don't post about Charizard's gender being unknown. It's very annoying. Our policy is that the gender stays unknown until someone in the anime calls it a male or female.''
::So, discussion ends here. Thank you. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Charizard's voice in EP271 ==

I posted this at [[Talk:EP271]], but figured that it would probably get more notice/traffic here. I was watching the raw version of [[EP271]] (Ash's battle vs Harrison), and I noticed that the voice Charizard uses when it is sent out at the end is considerably different from the one used in the English dub in the same shot. As far as I'm aware Charizard's voice has been the same between the two versions throughout the series, with this one shot being the sole exception. Is there any information out there on who substituted Charizard's voice for this one shot, and why that change was made? It's probably worth noting in both articles if the information is out there. [[User:Matkin22|Matkin22]] 03:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

== Fly ==

So its not listed under moves anymore but there's a picture with a caption: "Using Fly". Should it stay there?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 02:55, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

== Can't Edit ==

Is there a reason Charizard's page is locked, I can't find the edit button, so that's what I'm assuming has happened. There's just a minor grammer problem I was going to fix, nothing major. - [[User:Ash1Ketchum4|Ash1Ketchum4]] 18:11, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:The page is not locked, and the Edit buttons are next to each section heading like they're supposed to be, along with the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 18:31, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

== Removed trivia? ==

I just noticed that [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash%27s_Charizard&diff=1437708&oldid=1430768 this (relatively) recent revision] removed a bunch of trivia that seems to be correct. Is there a reason why this was removed? [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 02:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
:The reason the said trivia was removed was because we did a clean-out of all comparison trivia in articles expecially articles having to do with the anime. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 02:25, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== Damian ==

On Damian's page the template of Charmander implies that it is male, despite on the main article, it says that Charizard's gender is unknown. Should I delete the male sign? --[[User:YoshisWorld|YoshisWorld]] 14:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)YoshisWorld

== Reopening the Fly discussion ==

Just a point of consistency on this website. Literally every single time a Pokemon is ordered to use its agility, this Wiki takes that to mean {{m|Agility}}, regardless of whether the Pokémon is able to use that move ([[Gary's Umbreon]]). However, in the battle between Charizard and Blastoise, Ash quite clearly ordered Charizard to "fly", which followed by Charizard flying into the air and then diving down to attack. Fly is obviously a hard one to place because of its status as a verb, but if we are classifying "agility" (which I maintain just means the same thing as "dodge it!") I believe that at least this instance should count for Fly. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 22:56, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

== Question ==

If Damian was Charmander's trainer, how does Ash was able to capture it? I mean, Damian was suppose to still have Charmander's pokéball, right? (and you can't capture a captured pokémon o.o --[[User:AfO|AfO]] 04:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
:IIRC, Damien released Charmander.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 04:27, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
::I don't recall Damian officially releasing Charmander, but I think Pokemon can release themselves. Like they hint {{AP|Snivy}} did, then the Frillish in [[BW037]] releasing the contest Pokémon on her own. That being said, I think Charmander made it clear he didn't want to be Damian's Pokémon anymore, and released himself.

== Charizard finally used a Flying-type move. Is it trivia worthy? ==

In [[BW116]], Charizard finally used a {{t|Flying|Flying-type}} move ({{m|Wing Attack}}) for the first time. Is it trivia worthy to mention that Charizard learned a Flying-type move almost 20 years and 727 episodes after his evolution back in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 17:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
:If we did this for Charizard, then we'd have to do it for every dual-typed Pokémon in the anime that hasn't used a move of one of their types. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 22:49, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

== Left the Valley? ==

Is it safe to say at some point in time, Charizard finished its training in Charizard Valley and then went to Prof. Oak? Or is "speculation not allowed on this wiki"? [[User:Mr.Char|Mr.Char]] ([[User talk:Mr.Char|talk]]) 22:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

'''Corey''' (Japanese: '''ソラオ''' ''Sorao'') is a character from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==History==

Corey was one of the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to make it to [[New Island]]. He made it by {{m|fly}}ing on the back of his {{p|Pidgeot}}. Along with [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, Corey witnessed the revelation that {{an|Mewtwo}} was trying to destroy the world.

Corey tried to defeat Mewtwo's clone Venusaur using Bruteroot, his {{p|Venusaur}}; however, Mewtwo's Venusaur easily defeated Bruteroot with a {{m|Vine Whip}}, sending it flying. He also tried using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} against Mewtwo.

==Trivia==
* In the Latin-American Spanish dub of the movie, he was referred to as [[Gary Oak]]. The dialogues were edited so the characters knew each other, and he was also portrayed by Gary Oak's voice actor.
* In the English dub of the movie, he mistakenly refers to his {{p|Pidgeot}} as {{p|Pidgeotto}}.
* The method as to how Mewtwo's Venusaur beat Bruteroot was [[EP037|similar]] to how [[Duplica's Ditto]] defeated Ash's Bulbasaur.
* Corey's appearance looks similar to the {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cool Trainers}} in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Though the book adaptation usually refers to him by his correct name, he is referred to as "[[Fergus|Umio]]" when he orders Bruteroot to attack Mewtwo.
* He's the only character who got to New Island by flying.

Corey was one of the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to make it to [[New Island]]. He made it by {{m|fly}}ing on the back of his {{p|Pidgeot}}. Along with [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, Corey witnessed the revelation that {{an|Mewtwo}} was trying to destroy the world.

Corey tried to defeat Mewtwo's clone Venusaur using Bruteroot, his {{p|Venusaur}}; however, Mewtwo's Venusaur easily defeated Bruteroot with a {{m|Vine Whip}}, sending it flying. He also tried using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} against Mewtwo.

==Trivia==
[[File:Corey Fearow.png|thumb|200px|Corey leaving for New Island on a Fearow]]
* Corey's Pidgeot is mistakenly shown as a {{p|Fearow}} when traveling to [[New Island]].
* In the Latin-American Spanish dub of the movie, he was referred to as [[Gary Oak]]. The dialogues were edited so the characters knew each other, and he was also portrayed by Gary Oak's voice actor.
* In the English dub of the movie, he mistakenly refers to his {{p|Pidgeot}} as {{p|Pidgeotto}}.
* The method as to how Mewtwo's Venusaur beat Bruteroot was [[EP037|similar]] to how [[Duplica's Ditto]] defeated Ash's Bulbasaur.
* Corey's appearance looks similar to the {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cool Trainers}} in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Though the book adaptation usually refers to him by his correct name, he is referred to as "[[Fergus|Umio]]" when he orders Bruteroot to attack Mewtwo.
* He's the only character who got to New Island by flying.

===Synopsis===
====Version 1====
The animation begins with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} running down a long corridor while multiple arrows of various colors fly in the direction they're running towards. A glowing arrow flies around the screen until it turns into Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} with an orange pillar in front of them. A second arrow swirls around and turns into Iris and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} with a purple pillar next to them. A third arrow turns into Cilan with a green pillar underneath him. Ash, Pikachu, Iris, Axew, and Cilan all pose in front of the Best Wishes! logo. The three Trainers jump out of view and the words "Season 2" are added onto the Best Wishes! logo.

The scene changes to several Pokémon from varying generations running through a grassy field. After changing to a different group of a Pokémon, Ash, Iris, and Cilan are seen running near a body of water with several Pokémon swimming near them. As they continue running, {{an|Meloetta}} enters the scene and playfully steals Ash's hat. The scene moves to Professor Oak's laboratory, where {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], and {{Tracey}} stand in the field of Ash's various Pokémon. When {{AP|Charizard}} is shown onscreen, it turns around to give a thumbs up.

Ash then runs into a area resembling some ruins. As he runs, multiple stone pillars suddenly erupt from the ground, forcing Ash to jump back. Ash looks back to see Pikachu jumping in to destroy the pillars with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Pikachu is successful, and gives Ash a peace sign to show his satisfaction. Elsewhere, a {{p|Keldeo}} begins glowing as it stands on top of a large block of ice with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}. A wall of ice breaks to reveal {{p|Kyurem}}, who then causes a split screen to show Black Kyurem and White Kyurem.

On top of a building, [[Alder]], [[Cynthia]], [[Caitlin]], [[Drayden]], and [[Marlon]] stand before Ash, Cilan, and Iris. {{an|Dawn}} enters the scene with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, who fires a {{m|Hydro Pump}}. After [[BW094]], Dawn is replaced by {{un|Cameron}}, who has his {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}} use {{m| Vacuum Wave}}. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TRM}} each get individual closeups.

[[Stephan]] and his {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} do several karate poses. [[Trip]] poses with his {{TP|Trip|Serperior}}. {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}} run through a city, only to clumsily fall onto their faces. Ash, Iris, Cilan, {{tt|Dawn|Replaced by Cameron in BW094}}, Trip, Stephan, and Bianca all pose with their Pokémon, only to quickly fly into the air as if they were using {{m|Quick Attack}}. They all fly towards a building and combine into a giant arrow that collides with it. The animation ends with a group shot of Ash, Pikachu, Iris, Axew, Cilan, and Ash's Pokémon.

====Version 2====
The animation begins with a background image of {{p|Reshiram}} with its eyes glowing blue. Ash, Cilan, Iris, and [[N]] all make dramatic poses as N's necklace glows. The scene changes to the Best Wishes! logo, which is then adorned with the Season 2 and Episode N pieces. At the Aspertia Gym, Iris, Cilan, and N watch as Ash and his {{AP|Oshawott}} face [[Cheren]] and his {{p|Herdier}}. A cloaked N walks in a snowy mountainous area with [[Anthea and Concordia]] in the background.

James smiles confidently with one eye closed while Jessie poses with a rose in her hand with Meowth standing behind her. A shot of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s pans to the side while a map is burned to reveal the Team Plasma logo behind it. The logo is revealed to be part of a helicopter that two Plasma Grunts ride in while their {{p|Liepard}} blasts a building in front of them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. The explosion causes Ash, Iris, and Cilan, to duck as they watch it from below. The {{p|Genesect}} [[M16|Army]] quickly shift into their High-Speed Flight Forms and races off into the sky.

Pikachu fires an {{m|Electro Ball}}; Ash's Oshawott dodges attacks while using {{m|Aqua Jet}}; Axew fires off a {{m|Dragon Rage}}; Dragonite attacks with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Colress is shown with several Pokémon under his control. In a ruins-like area, Pikachu fights off a {{p|Beartic}}. After Pikachu is knocked away, {{AP|Boldore}} steps in to combat Beartic as well. Beartic smacks Boldore away, who simply retaliates with a {{m|Rock Blast}}. Axew and Oshawott run away from an attacking {{p|Mienshao}}, but Oshawott stays behind and attacks it with {{m|Razor Shell}}.

Ash, Iris, Cilan, and N run on top of a bridge while being attacked by several {{m|Shadow Ball}}s. Several of Team Plasma's Pokémon are defeated by [[Looker]], Jessie, James, and Meowth. Ghetsis waves his arm, signaling Reshiram to burst out of the ground. As it hovers above Ash, Iris, Cilan, and N, Reshiram attacks with {{m|Blue Flare}}, only for it to be deflected by a Flamethrower. A surprised Ash looks up to see his {{AP|Charizard}}, who confidently looks back at him. Charizard attacks with another Flamethrower, while the scene changes to a group shot of Ash, Iris, Cilan, N, Colress, Team Plasma Grunts, Jessie, James, Meowth, Looker, and a large shot of Ghetsis looking down on them all.

Aim forward as an arrow!
Shine greater than even now as an arrow!
Thrust toward your dream!</ab>

Though there are times I get a shock and slow down
I find my feet taking the liberty and myself still running!

I wonder to myself under the night stars if we'll be alright
But honestly, that's not it at all!
"If you believe in your dreams, you will be definitely be fine"
I reflect on my companions' words!

An arrow stronger than the rock!
An arrow higher than the sky!
An arrow kinder than everything!
Yeah, someday that will be us!

Aim forward as an arrow!
Let a lot of arrows shine!
You are one of them too!! </ab>

|<ab>One swiftly running arrow!
One supple arrow!
One thinking arrow!
That's us now!

Cross the green mountain, remove the white clouds
Let's colorfully push through the wilderness, become an arrow!
Even if we suddenly turn around, twist, and shake
There's no way that we'll get separated!

If we can't come to an agreement and the day is ending
I'll sincerely apologize, let's show each other our hearts!

An arrow stronger than the rock!
An arrow higher than the sky!
An arrow kinder than everything!
Yeah, someday that will be us!

There are leisurely afternoons that cause yawns
But with one cheer from someone, we gather together!
Though there are times I get a shock and slow down
I find my feet taking the liberty and myself still running!

I wonder to myself under the night stars if we'll be alright
But honestly, that's not it at all!
"If you believe in your dreams, you will be definitely be fine"
I reflect on my companions' words!

One swiftly running arrow!
One supple arrow!
One thinking arrow!
That's us now!

Aim forward as an arrow!
Shine greater than even now as an arrow!
Thrust toward your dream!

Sometimes I can no longer see the road, and don't know where to go
But you will always be by my side!
Even the bright sun is hidden by the clouds sometimes
But meetings will always bring light!

One too hot arrow!
Two competitive arrows!
Three helpful arrows!
So the heart will never break!

Aim forward as an arrow!
Shine greater than even now as an arrow!
Aim forward as an arrow!
Let a lot of arrows shine!
You are one of them too!! </ab>

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Ash and Snivy]]

Appearing in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Snivy was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}} who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.

Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}) succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's Ability, {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her [[Poké Ball]] by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-{{m|Leaf Storm}} combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball amongst those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine]]'s [[Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with Excadrill's {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Clay]] and his {{p|Palpitoad}}. She defeated the Vibration Pokémon, after immobilizing it with Attract and hitting him with all her other moves, without taking a single hit. She stayed in the battle to take on Clay's {{p|Excadrill}}, but all of her attacks were blocked by the Subterrene Pokémon's {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, even preventing her Attract, and she was eventually taken out by its [[one-hit knockout move]]: {{m|Horn Drill}}.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is widely speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer.

==Trivia==
* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was Ash's last capture of the three Unova starters. To contrast, in the previous four regions, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.
* Snivy is Ash's only Unova Pokémon that hasn't learned any new moves since its capture.

Freeze (status condition)

2012-12-16T02:10:49Z

Pao27: /* In the anime */

:''Freeze redirects here. For the unexpected freezes which prevent the game from continuing, see [[game freeze]]. For the Badge given by [[Brycen]], see [[Badge#Freeze Badge|Badge → Freeze Badge]].''
----
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|[[Iris's Excadrill|Excadrill]] is frozen]]
The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese: '''こおり''' ''Ice'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is the only [[status ailment]] that does not have a move that will always cause it.

It is evidently associated with the {{t|Ice}} type, as the majority of moves that can freeze are of this type, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are immune to being frozen. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

==Effect==
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary between generations.

===Generation I===
Once frozen, a Pokémon can't be thawed out in battle other than via the use of items such as an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} or being hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move.

===Generation II onwards===
A frozen Pokémon has a 20% chance of being thawed out every turn. On the turn that a Pokémon defrosts, it cannot attack until the next turn, similar to {{status|Sleep}} in Generation I. In addition, several moves can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process); Pokémon can't be frozen in {{weather|intense sunlight}}, but they don't thaw out faster if already frozen, contrary to popular belief.

===Generation III onwards===
Same as Generation II, but Pokémon can attack on the turn that they defrost. Animation also shows up on every turn Pokémon is frozen (in contrast to previous generations, where animation showed up only when freeze was inflicted).

Freezing also disables the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.

===Generation IV onwards===
Same as Generation III. A frozen {{DL|Form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.
===Generation V onwards===
Pokémon glow blue and have their animation stopped when inflicted with freeze. It no longer stops {{a|Flash Fire}} from working.

===Appearance===

}}
{{movegen

{{movegen

|Stad2=Freeze Stad2}}

==Causes==
===Moves===
Unlike other major status ailments, there is nothing in battle that can cause freezing except for several moves, and even then those freeze rarely, with no move having freezing the opponent as a primary effect. This is likely due to freeze being a powerful effect. The following are the moves that can freeze their targets.

|}

===Other causes===
Pokémon can be frozen by the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{p|Dusclops}} in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, and by the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Arcade}}.

==Prevention and curing==
Being frozen can be cured with the use of an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} or an [[Aspear Berry]] ({{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Burnt Berry}} in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}}, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, [[Lum Berry]], {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Casteliacone}}, and [[Sacred Ash]]. {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} also removes it from all Pokémon in the party. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured while it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 30% chance of being cured every turn.

Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. (This includes {{m|Hidden Power}}, if its type is Fire). As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing—however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|Intense sunlight|sunny weather}}, but contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, and {{m|Fusion Flare}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{m|Scald}} works similarly, where if a frozen Pokémon is hit by this move it will thaw, but will not thaw if attempting to use this move while frozen. {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} Ability are completely immune to being frozen by Ice-type moves; however, Ice-type Pokémon can be frozen by {{m|Tri Attack}}.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
[[File:EP189.png|right|thumb|{{an|Jigglypuff}} is frozen|200px]]
In the anime, the frozen status is literally the same as in the games; once a Pokémon in frozen it can't move and is open to attacks. In some cases, a referee may call a frozen Pokémon unable to battle.

Freezing is one of the most common status ailments featured in the anime, resulting almost always when a Pokémon gets hit by an Ice-type attack like {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Blizzard}}.

*In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}} was frozen by an Ice Beam from [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, winning its Trainer the match. Ash stayed up all night with Charizard to treat its injuries, winning back its loyalty.
*In ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', {{an|Jigglypuff}} was frozen, but thawed by Ash's {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}}.
*In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', [[Ash's Pikachu]] was frozen by [[Brandon's Regis|Brandon's Regice]]'s Ice Beam. However, thanks to Ash's brave encouragements, Pikachu was able to break free from the ice with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', [[Paul]]'s {{p|Lairon}} is frozen when it is hit by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Regice's Ice Beam.
*In ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser]]'', Ash's Pikachu was frozen by Paul's {{p|Froslass}}'s Ice Beam, but thawed itself out by using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', [[Iris's Excadrill]] was frozen by an Ice Beam in a battle with [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Beartic}}.
*In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', [[Iris's Dragonite]] was frozen by Georgia's Beartic's Ice Beam.
*In ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', the three {{OBP|Swords of Justice|M15}} were frozen by {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}'s {{m|Ice Burn}}{{tt|*|causes a burn in the games}} and also froze {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}} with {{m|Freeze Shock}}.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Ash and Snivy]]

Appearing in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Snivy was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}} who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.

Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}) succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's Ability, {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her [[Poké Ball]] by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-{{m|Leaf Storm}} combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball amongst those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine]]'s [[Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with Excadrill's {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Clay]] and his {{p|Palpitoad}}. She defeated the Vibration Pokémon, after immobilizing it with Attract and hitting him with all her other moves, without taking a single hit. She stayed in the battle to take on Clay's {{p|Excadrill}}, but all of her attacks were blocked by the Subterrene Pokémon's {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, even preventing her Attract, and she was eventually taken out by its [[one-hit knockout move]]: {{m|Horn Drill}}.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is widely speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer.

==Trivia==
* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was Ash's last capture of the three Unova starters. To contrast, in the previous four regions, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.
* Snivy is Ash's only Unova Pokémon that hasn't learned any new moves since its capture.

Freeze (status condition)

2012-12-09T23:57:52Z

Pao27: /* In the anime */ +

:''Freeze redirects here. For the unexpected freezes which prevent the game from continuing, see [[game freeze]]. For the Badge given by [[Brycen]], see [[Badge#Freeze Badge|Badge → Freeze Badge]].''
----
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|[[Iris's Excadrill|Excadrill]] is frozen]]
The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese: '''こおり''' ''Ice'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is the only [[status ailment]] that does not have a move that will always cause it.

It is evidently associated with the {{t|Ice}} type, as the majority of moves that can freeze are of this type, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are immune to being frozen. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

==Effect==
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary between generations.

===Generation I===
Once frozen, a Pokémon can't be thawed out in battle other than via the use of items such as an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} or being hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move.

===Generation II onwards===
A frozen Pokémon has a 20% chance of being thawed out every turn. On the turn that a Pokémon defrosts, it cannot attack until the next turn, similar to {{status|Sleep}} in Generation I. In addition, several moves can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process); Pokémon can't be frozen in {{weather|intense sunlight}}, but they don't thaw out faster if already frozen, contrary to popular belief.

===Generation III onwards===
Same as Generation II, but Pokémon can attack on the turn that they defrost. Animation also shows up on every turn Pokémon is frozen (in contrast to previous generations, where animation showed up only when freeze was inflicted).

Freezing also disables the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.

===Generation IV onwards===
Same as Generation III. A frozen {{DL|Form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.
===Generation V onwards===
Pokémon glow blue and have their animation stopped when inflicted with freeze. It no longer stops {{a|Flash Fire}} from working.

{{movegen

==Causes==
===Moves===
Unlike other major status ailments, there is nothing in battle that can cause freezing except for several moves, and even then those freeze rarely, with no move having freezing the opponent as a primary effect. This is likely due to freeze being a powerful effect. The following are the moves that can freeze their targets.

|}
|}

===Other causes===
Pokémon can be frozen by the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{p|Dusclops}} in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, and by the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Arcade}}.

==Prevention and curing==
Being frozen can be cured with the use of an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} or an [[Aspear Berry]] ({{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Burnt Berry}} in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}}, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, [[Lum Berry]], {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Casteliacone}}, and [[Sacred Ash]]. {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} also removes it from all Pokémon in the party. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured while it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 30% chance of being cured every turn.

Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. (This includes {{m|Hidden Power}}, if its type is Fire). As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing—however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|Intense sunlight|sunny weather}}, but contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fusion Flare}}, and {{m|Scald}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} Ability are completely immune to being frozen by Ice-type moves; however, Ice-type Pokémon can be frozen by {{m|Tri Attack}}.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
[[File:EP189.png|right|thumb|{{an|Jigglypuff}} is frozen|200px]]
In the anime, the frozen status is literally the same as in the games; once a Pokémon in frozen it can't move and is open to attacks. In some cases, a referee may call a frozen Pokémon unable to battle.

*In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}} was frozen by an {{m|Ice Beam}} from [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, winning its Trainer the match. Ash stayed up all night with Charizard to treat its injuries, winning back its loyalty.
*In ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', {{an|Jigglypuff}} was frozen, but thawed by [[Ash's Cyndaquil]].
*In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', [[Paul]]'s {{p|Lairon}} is frozen when it is hit by [[Brandon's Regis|Brandon's Regice]]'s {{m|Ice Beam}}.
*In ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser]]'', [[Ash's Pikachu]] was frozen by [[Paul's Froslass]]'s Ice Beam, but thawed itself out by using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', [[Iris's Excadrill]] was frozen by an {{m|Ice Beam}} in a battle with [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Beartic}}.
*In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', [[Iris's Dragonite]] was frozen by Georgia's Beartic's {{m|Ice Beam}}.

'''Corey''' (Japanese: '''ソラオ''' ''Sorao'') is a character from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==History==

Corey was one of the only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to make it to [[New Island]]. He made it by {{m|fly}}ing on the back of his {{p|Pidgeot}}. Along with [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, Corey witnessed the revelation that {{an|Mewtwo}} was trying to destroy the world.

Corey tried to defeat Mewtwo's clone Venusaur using Bruteroot, his {{p|Venusaur}}; however, Mewtwo's Venusaur easily defeated Bruteroot with a {{m|Vine Whip}}, sending it flying. He also tried using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} against Mewtwo.

* In the English dub of the movie, he mistakenly refers to his {{p|Pidgeot}} as {{p|Pidgeotto}}.
* The method as to how Mewtwo's Venusaur beat Bruteroot was [[EP037|similar]] to how [[Duplica's Ditto]] defeated Ash's Bulbasaur.
* Corey's appearance looks similar to the {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cool Trainers}} in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Though the book adaptation usually refers to him by his correct name, he is referred to as "[[Fergus|Umio]]" when he orders Bruteroot to attack Mewtwo.
* He's the only character who got to New Island by flying.

'''Ash's Palpitoad''' (Japanese: '''サトシのガマガル''' ''Satoshi's Gamagaru'') is the seventh {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{Ash}} in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Palpitoad.png|left|250px|thumb|Palpitoad and Ash]]
Palpitoad was first seen in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', where he was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} had unknowingly invaded his territory while looking for an [[Remeyo weed|underwater plant]] to help his, {{an|Cilan}}'s, and {{an|Iris}}'s Pokémon heal after being {{status|poisoned}} by wild {{p|Foongus}} that were disturbed by [[Ash's Scraggy]]. Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly-mastered {{m|Aqua Jet}} and was captured by Ash.

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' he was used in the [[Club Battle]] Tournament against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well, avoiding Stoutland's attacks and dealing out powerful blows. Eventually Palpitoad was caught in Stoutland's mouth when it used {{m|Thunder Fang}}, though he avoided damage from the {{type|Electric}} move, being part {{type|Ground}}. However Burgundy took the chance and ordered an {{m|Ice Fang}} attack, which became a problem for Palpitoad until he used {{m|Supersonic}} to shatter the ice and knock Stoutland back. After blocking Stoutland's {{m|Fire Fang}} with {{m|Mud Shot}}, Palpitoad won the match with a direct hit from {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Palpitoad battled [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} in the semifinals, and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being immune to {{type|Electric}} moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle and was Ash's sole strategy for the battle. Palpitoad took many ineffective hits from Zebstrika's {{m|Flame Charge}} and a {{m|Double Kick}} attack, proving unable to dodge. As Zebstrika headed towards Palpitoad using {{m|Quick Attack}}, Ash commanded a Supersonic attack which blocked and confused Zebstrika, Palpitoad then finished the match with a Mud Shot followed by a Hydro Pump. Palpitoad showed signs of fatigue after Elesa recalled Zebstrika so both Iris and Cilan suggested that Ash should recall him and switch to another Pokémon but Ash decided to stick with Palpitoad when Elesa brought out Emolga, however Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with {{p|Emolga}}'s fast moves and was hit by an {{m|Acrobatics}} attack and several {{m|Aerial Ace}} attacks before he was hit with Emolga's {{m|Attract}} causing him to become immobilized by infatuation. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out, ruining Ash's strategy for the battle.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash used Palpitoad as his fifth Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Roxie]] and her final and strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Palpitoad first tried to use Mud Shot on the Trash Heap Pokémon, but Garbodor used its extendable arms to raise itself from the floor and dodge the attack. As Garbodor attacked with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Palpitoad used Hydro Pump to block it. Palpitoad then tried another Mud Shot, but it was blocked and countered by a {{m|Gunk Shot}} attack, which {{status|poison}}ed Palpitoad as it hit. Garbodor attacked Palpitoad two times with {{m|Venoshock}}, being twice as powerful because of the poison, and he was knocked out.

==Personality and characteristics==
Palpitoad was once quite the rowdy Pokémon, and liked to be the boss over others, such as when he commanded a group of {{p|Tympole}} and a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} to attack Ash and his {{AP|Oshawott}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad is also very protective over what he claims as his own, such as territory, as shown in the same instance. In the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, Palpitoad has been shown to be quite the powerhouse. Since he shares a love for battling with Ash, Palpitoad seems satisfied to have Ash as his Trainer and they were able to work well together despite only recently being captured and it being the first battle Palpitoad participated in. Palpitoad has been shown to be physically tough, as he can endure attacks easily as shown in the Gym battle with [[Elesa]].

==Trivia==
* Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his [[BW032|debut appearance]], he was similar to the size of [[Ash's Oshawott]], however, in his [[BW039|second appearance]], he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance.
* Before Palpitoad, the last Pokémon which Ash had caught in its evolved state was his {{AP|Noctowl}}, which he caught over 530 episodes before him.
**Palpitoad is also the only evolved Pokémon Ash has captured that can still evolve, if {{AP|Pikachu}} isn't counted.
* Palpitoad is currently Ash's only Unova Pokémon that hasn't used any new moves since its debut episode.
** Palpitoad is also the only one of Ash's [[Unova]] Pokémon to have fewer than four moves.
* Of all of Ash's Pokémon, Palpitoad has been absent from the greatest number of episodes in a row while still being in rotation at the time: 33 episodes, spanning from after ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'' to before ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]].''

** Palpitoad is also Ash's only Unova Pokémon to not make an appearance in [[Best Wishes series|''Best Wishes!'' Season 2]], as of yet.
* Palpitoad is Ash's only Pokémon that hasn't been seen interacting out of battle.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
As the battle between [[Trip]] and {{an|Bianca}} continues, {{TP|Trip|Conkeldurr}} uses {{m|Stone Edge}} on {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}}, who is trapped by several rocks from {{m|Rock Tomb}}. Stone Edge lands, creating a smoky explosion. Emboar is shown holding the rocks to everyone's surprise. [[Don George]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} observe that Bianca's strong bond and encouragement is what helped Emboar grab the Stone Edge rocks. Emboar {{m|Fling|Flings}} the rocks at Conkeldurr, who uses its concrete pillars to knock the rocks away. Emboar grabs the pillars and Flings the pillar at Conkeldurr, landing a [[critical hit]] and defeating it. Bianca moves on to the second round and calls Emboar the strongest Pokémon. Don George says that he liked seeing the unconventional use of Fling. Trip says that it will be a long time before he can defeat [[Alder]]. The announcer says that the second round will begin tomorrow.

Trip picks his fully healed Conkeldurr up from [[Nurse Joy]] at the [[Pokémon Center]]. Ash arrives and is disappointed that he could not face his Conkeldurr before he went down. Trip promises he will not lose to Ash the next time they battle. After he leaves, [[Georgia]] and [[Burgundy]] comment on how Trip cannot be prideful anymore after the loss. Cilan compliments [[Stephan]] and his {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} on their strength and Stephan's effort in having trained Sawk. Stephan tells Cilan that he pronounced his name wrong again. Bianca comes over to them, and says that she does not want to be left out of conversations about muscles. Ash and {{an|Iris}} are confident that they will win their next battles. [[Georgia]] comments on Iris's overconfidence, while a jealous Burgundy wants everyone to lose.

Ash tells {{AP|Scraggy}} they must perfect {{m|Focus Blast}}, entrusting {{AP|Pikachu}} to help him train Scraggy. Stephan offers to help them train. They notice an explosion in the distance, and find [[Montgomery]] and {{p|Throh}} practising for the second round. Throh uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}, throwing rocks to the ground. Ash and Montgomery offer Montgomery to join them in training, but he refuses. The next day, the second round begins. Don George announces {{an|Cilan}} and Stephan for the first battle. He wonders if Cilan will show off his [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] skills, or is here to expand his knowledge as a Gym Leader. Burgundy yells that Cilan must lose. Don George invites Stephan and his Sawk to the field, mispronouncing his name. Ash and his friends are excited, and Ash tells Scraggy to watch the battle closely. Burgundy thinks Cilan will suffer a crushing defeat, and that she cannot wait to see it happen.

{{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}, which Sawk uses {{m|Close Combat}} to block and move towards Pansage. Sawk finishes Close Combat to knock Pansage down to the ground. Don George calls it a head on match, while Burgundy yells to them that Cilan must be given a beating and suffer despair. Sawk uses {{m|Karate Chop}} and Pansage uses {{m|Bite}} to grab onto Sawk's hand. Cilan tries to do his evaluating time routine but Stephan stops him and says that Sawk isn't done yet. Sawk sends Pansage hard to the ground. Burgundy likes seeing the evaluation time get blocked. Pansage is able to stand up and Stephan comments that he is tough as Cilan says the same about Sawk. Burgundy is upset that Pansage didn't stay down. Sawk uses {{m|Low Sweep}} which Pansage tries to dodge, but Sawk makes contact and knocks him out. Stephan wins as his name is said wrong again, but he dances in victory. Ash and Iris comment on how Cilan didn't get to do his evaluation time this time. Burgundy is happy that Cilan lost because he is annoying and that his evaluation time was interrupted. The announcer says that Stephan will move on to the semi-finals and says his name wrong again. Cilan tells Pansage that he did a good job, congratulates Stephan on the win, and compliments his Sawk for being so strong. Burgundy says that a loss is still a loss, and Georgia gets annoyed by Burgundy's rantings that she asks her what Cilan did to make her so upset.

Don George announces the next two competitors for the second round. The only one of the three roughneck siblings who has made it to the second round is a girl named [[Betty]]. Betty's [[Angus|two]] [[Getty|brothers]] cheer her on. Betty brings out {{p|Simipour}} and Ash uses Scraggy. Ash scans Simipour with his Pokédex. Betty calls Scraggy a pipsqueak and wants to get the battle over with quickly. Simipour uses {{m|Aqua Tail}} but Scraggy blocks it with {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. They are shown to be on even ground. Betty comments that Scraggy is better than she thought. Simipour uses {{m|Brick Break}} as Scraggy pulls up his rubber pants to block the attack. Scraggy tries to use Focus Blast, but misses. Betty says that it is not focused at all, while Ash's friends are concerned. Simipour uses {{m|Acrobatics}} which hurts Scraggy, who uses {{m|Leer}} and scares Simipour. Betty tells it not to be a wuss. Simipour uses Brick Break while Scraggy uses {{m|Headbutt}}, as the two moves are even. Scraggy uses Headbutt to send Simipour to the ground, and knocks it out with a Hi Jump Kick. Ash thus moves on to the semi-finals. His friends notice that although Focus Blast was not perfected, Scraggy is happy to have won and gained experience in the battle. Burgundy is upset that Cilan is complimentary about Ash and Scraggy after he had lost.

Don George announces the next two competitors for the second round. He says that Georgia is a {{t|Dragon}} Buster and that her soul is very strong. He says that Bianca is the noisiest Trainer and that she has a great smile, as she acknowledges the crowd. Bianca uses Emboar and Georgia uses Bisharp. Ash and his friends wonder if Bianca's Emboar is going to be able to handle a close range battle with Georgia's {{p|Bisharp}}. Georgia asks Bianca how they will handle Bisharp and her sharp body. Bianca interrupts Georgia which upsets her. Emboar uses {{m|Flamethrower}} as Bisharp blocks it away. Emboar follows it up with {{m|Hammer Arm}} as Bisharp blocks with {{m|Guillotine}}. The two moves create a colorful clash as they create smoke and back away. Bisharp uses {{m|Metal Sound}} to lower Emboar's defense. Bisharp uses {{m|Iron Head}}, while Emboar uses Flamethrower to knock her out. Bianca wins the battle and moves on to the semi-finals. Bianca says to Emboar that it did an exceptional job and that she is very happy. Georgia says to her Bisharp that because she didn't lose to a Dragon-type Pokémon, that the loss doesn't count. Ash and his friends say that Emboar's brute force is how he was able to win.

Don George announces the last two competitors for the second round. He says that Montgomery is a red hot strong competitor, and asks whether his strength will be enough. He says that Iris' dream is to be a Dragon Master and that she has her heart linked with Dragon-type Pokémon. Georgia yells at everyone that he called her an expert on Dragon Pokémon when she is using {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} who isn't a Dragon-type Pokémon. Montgomery uses {{p|Throh}} and Iris uses Excadrill. Excadrill uses {{m|Drill Run}} but Throh throws him with {{m|Circle Throw}}. Excadrill uses {{m|Dig}}, but Throh uses {{m|Superpower}} to send Excadrill up from under the ground. Throh finishes Excadrill off with a Seismic Toss. Throh respectfully bows to Excadrill after the win. Iris tells Excadrill that they will work hard to get stronger together. Ash and his friends can't believe how powerful Throh really is, and wonder how anyone can't beat him. Bianca exclaims that they should not worry and that her Emboar will take Throh down. While they are surrounded by a purple aura, Georgia says that at the rate things are going it will be forever until Iris becomes a Dragon Master while Burgundy says that Throh should just take down everybody. Montgomery's win concludes the second round of the battle tournament.

The match ups for the semi-finals of the tournament are announced. Bianca will face Stephan, and Ash will face Montgomery. Bianca asks Stephan whether he will be able to stop their momentum. Ash tells Scraggy that they will be the ones to take down Montgomery and Throh, while Iris says she is counting on them to win. Burgundy again exclaims that everyone had better lose. The narrator ends the episode with the question of who will win the semi-finals and win it all.

'''Electric Shock Showdown''' (Japanese: '''でんげきたいけつ！クチバジム''' ''Electric Shock Showdown! {{tt|Kuchiba|Vermilion}} Gym'') is the 14th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 25, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
After two weeks of traveling, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} have finally made it to [[Vermilion City]]. Brock and Misty can't wait to get cleaned up, but Ash is more concerned about finding the [[Vermilion Gym]]. However, Brock stops Ash, and points out that {{AP|Pikachu}} is in no condition to battle. Pikachu and Ash are also very hungry, so first things first.

At the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Nurse Joy]] says she'll take good care of Pikachu. Noticing Ash and his friends staring, she guesses that they're surprised because all the Nurse Joys look the same. She explains that her first cousin works at [[Pewter City]], and her second cousin at [[Viridian City]]. She claims she believes she's the cutest one, though, and Brock agrees.

Suddenly, the doors open and a {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} and a {{pkmn|Trainer}} run in. On a roller table pushed by the Chansey is a badly beaten-up {{p|Rattata}}. Brock wonders what happened, and Nurse Joy mentions that this is the fifteenth one that month.

Ash and his friends are taken to a room where there are many badly injured Pokémon, including a {{p|Caterpie}}, an {{p|Oddish}}, a {{p|Sandshrew}}, and the previously seen Rattata. Nurse Joy explains that they have all lost to [[Lt. Surge]], the Vermilion City Gym Leader. Ash is starting to get worried that this Lt. Surge must be a great Trainer, and Misty taunts him for getting scared.

Misty reminds him that he only got his first two Badges out of pity, but Ash retorts that a Badge is a Badge. Misty gives him a nose-flick, and says that if he's so strong, why doesn't he prove it at the Vermilion Gym? Misty also reminds Ash that she and Brock gave him Badges, so how would they look if Ash got crushed by Lt. Surge? At this point Ash is about ready to hit her, but Nurse Joy stops him, reminding him that they're in a hospital. She then jokingly suggests that if two people fight, they must really care about each other. Ash and Misty angrily and hastily deny this.

Just then, the Pokémon Center jingle is heard, which means Ash's Pokémon are fully recovered. Pikachu is happily eating an apple, and Ash tells it that it's time to go take on the Gym. Suddenly, another Trainer with an injured {{p|Pidgey}} comes in. Misty speculates they must have come from the Gym, too.

Hearing this frightens Pikachu, who refuses to go to the Gym. Ash grows angry at it for being a coward, but Pikachu retorts, asking if Ash really cares that it could end up like that Pidgey. Ash admits that Pikachu had a point, but tells Pikachu not to worry, because they are going to win. Pikachu still refuses to go, even going far enough to {{m|ThunderShock}} Ash. Misty mentions that with the way they fight, they must really care about each other, too.

Soon enough, though, they are outside the Gym. Misty tells Ash it's not too late to back out, but Ash is still set on going in there and winning. They end up getting into another argument, but Brock cuts this one off by asking if they're ever going to go inside.

They enter the Gym, Ash declaring his intent to battle for the [[Badge#Thunder Badge|Thunder Badge]]. The two subordinates in the room call that there's another victim for the Emergency Room. The rather large Lt. Surge then steps into view. Brock and Misty are amazed by his size.

Lt. Surge expresses pleasure in his next challenger being a cutie, and hugs Misty. Misty clarifies that she's not the challenger, and Ash reveals that he is. Lt. Surge laughs, calling him a baby; Ash takes offense to this. Lt. Surge then sees his Pikachu, and quips, "The little baby brought a little [[baby Pokémon]]." Now Pikachu is angry as well. Ash asks why he's making fun of Pikachu, and Lt. Surge answered the question by showing off his {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}.

After Ash uses [[Pokédex|Dexter]] to scope out Raichu, Lt. Surge mentions that it's not too late to back out, his Raichu mirroring his poses. Ash refuses to back down, as does Pikachu. Lt. Surge laughs again, claiming that an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon is only useful if it is [[evolution|evolved]] quickly and taught all the Electric attacks. Ash counters, saying there's more to Pokémon than forcing evolution, and that he likes Pikachu the way it is.

Pikachu itself has had all it can take, and begins sparking, ready for battle. Brock is surprised by how ready Pikachu is to battle. Ash says he's counting on Pikachu for this. Lt. Surge accepts the challenge, saying he's going to show that fighting with the big boys can be a shocking experience.

Not long after, they are set up on the arena floor. Raichu and Pikachu charge each other, Pikachu using a ThunderShock. Raichu however, is unfazed, and counters with a ThunderShock of its own, knocking Pikachu for a loop. Brock tells Ash to recall Pikachu, saying that it can't match up to Raichu's electrical attacks. Ash orders Pikachu to return, but Pikachu gets up and refuses, charging in once more.

Lt. Surge gives Pikachu credit for guts, and orders Raichu to use {{m|Mega Punch}}, immediately followed by {{m|Mega Kick}}, hitting Pikachu hard.

Outside, [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] is looking in, seeing Pikachu getting knocked around. They begin to worry that if Pikachu is getting beat up like this, then maybe it isn't worth stealing after all, and all their efforts have been in vain. {{MTR}} suggests that they could steal Raichu instead, but [[Jessie]] and [[James]] give him a whack to the head and start rooting for Pikachu.

However, Lt. Surge orders the big finale, and Raichu complies instantly, unleashing a powerful {{m|ThunderShock}} that gives Pikachu the shock of its life.

Later, at the Pokémon Center, Pikachu awakens, and Ash is glad to see that it is okay. Pikachu, however, is upset to have been beaten so badly by Raichu. Ash is convinced they can win if Pikachu tries harder, but Misty opines that Pikachu was already trying as hard as it could the last time.

Nurse Joy interrupts, saying there might be a way Pikachu can win. She walks in, revealing that she has come across a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}. With it, Ash could evolve his Pikachu into a Raichu as well. Brock warns him to think hard about this, because once he evolves Pikachu, there's no way to change it back.

Ash is torn. He knows that if he evolves Pikachu into Raichu, he might be able to defeat Lt. Surge. But he also realizes that if he were to evolve Pikachu just to battle, he would be no better than Lt. Surge. Finally, he decides to let Pikachu choose. Outside, Team Rocket watch intently to see what choice Pikachu will make.

Pikachu stands up and whacks away the Thunderstone with its tail. Pikachu then goes into a tirade, which moves even Meowth to tears. Meowth explains that Pikachu doesn't want to change; it wants to battle Lt. Surge again, but as a Pikachu; it wants to win in the name of all Pikachu everywhere. This moves James to tears, who says that it is beautiful.

Ash promises that, together, they will win. Brock suggests a strategy change, but Ash is convinced they can find a way. Pikachu says it will fight to defend both its honor and Ash's, which moves James to tears again. Pikachu is ready to go, but ends up flopping back into the bed. Nurse Joy suggested they let it rest a little while longer.

Out in the lobby, Misty is worried. Ash inquires when she started caring about him, but Misty immediately argues she's not worried about Ash, but Pikachu. Brock suddenly pipes up, saying that if Lt. Surge evolved his Pikachu into a Raichu as soon as he got it, then there might be a way for Ash to win.

Later, Ash and the fully recovered Pikachu step out of the Pokémon Center. Ash boldly claims that their lucky star is shining today. Pikachu looks at the sky in confusion, and so does Misty. Ash says he didn't mean it that way, and they head off for the Gym again.

However, they are soon blocked by the disguised Team Rocket. Jessie and James start to say their {{motto}}, but are quickly cut off by Meowth. They proceed into a very strange cheer for Pikachu and Ash, then run off. Brock finds this disturbing, but Misty cheerily waves Team Rocket off. They are surprised that she recognized them, but they keep running. Ash chuckles at the humorous scene, but soon gets back to business.

Momentarily, they arrive at the Gym for the rematch. Once again, it is to be Lt. Surge's Raichu against Ash's Pikachu. The battle begins, and Ash tells Pikachu to stick to the strategy. Lt. Surge just laughs, "They've come up with a new way to lose!", and sends Raichu out. Raichu starts things off with a move similar to {{m|Tail Whip}}.

Lt. Surge then orders a {{m|Body Slam}}, which Raichu does, dropping all its weight on Pikachu. Lt. Surge orders a finish with another Body Slam, but this time, Pikachu jumps out of the way, and Raichu hits the arena floor hard, damaging itself.

Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Agility}}, and Pikachu accelerates to full speed. Repeated Body Slam attempts from Raichu all miss completely; Pikachu is just too fast. Brock then reveals the strategy: because Lt. Surge evolved his Pikachu into a Raichu too fast, it never had a chance to learn the speed attacks it can only learn in Pikachu form.

Lt. Surge, growing aggravated, orders Raichu to unleash a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack. Raichu rips up the arena floor and even blows out all the windows around the arena. Team Rocket, who are watching outside, are forced to duck so they don't get shocked. Lt. Surge declares the end of the match... but the smoke clears, revealing the unharmed Pikachu standing on its tail.

Brock explains that Pikachu used its tail as a ground to dodge the electric shocks. Lt. Surge orders another Thunderbolt, but Raichu can't muster up the electricity for it. Brock says that Raichu has run out of electricity.

Ash orders a {{m|Quick Attack}}, to which Lt. Surge responded by ordering a {{m|Take Down}}. The quicker Pikachu manages to strike first, slamming into the Raichu's stomach. It then adds to the punishment with what can be best described as an electric version of a {{m|Slam}} attack, sparking up its tail and hammering the Raichu with it. Raichu is down and out, and Pikachu wins the match.

Lt. Surge congratulates Ash and Pikachu on a job well done, and awards Ash the Thunder Badge. Ash gets a round of applause from everyone, and even the Raichu applauds Pikachu, which embarrasses it. Ash hugs Pikachu, saying this was its victory, and the happy Pikachu electrifies Ash, who claims now he can see lots of lucky stars.

The episode ends with Team Rocket walking off towards the sunset. James claims that that Pikachu really was special, which, Jessie adds, is why it's worth stealing. Meowth suggests that maybe once they capture the Pikachu, they can start earning their own Badges. Suddenly, it occurs to James that they wasted the whole episode cheering for the good guys; he points this out, [[breaking the fourth wall]].

==Trivia==
* This is one of the few episodes where [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] do not attempt to steal Pikachu, or anything else for that matter. Instead they decide to support Pikachu in its aim to beat {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}. In fact, this is the first time it happens.
* Pikachu's disliking of Raichu is revealed. However, it never appears to have this sort of animosity towards Raichu again until ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''.
* Pikachu won by hitting Raichu with its tail. This may or may not be related to the fact that there is a move that is performed like this introduced later, {{m|Iron Tail}}, learned by Pikachu.
*This was the first Gym Badge that Ash won for actually defeating the Gym Leader.
* This is one of the few times that at least one of the main characters were able to recognize Team Rocket in disguise completely. Misty even thanked Team Rocket for their support, much to Team Rocket's shock. Ironically, this is the first time they disguised themselves.
* In the original Japanese version, Lt. Surge uses English curse words such as "Goddamn".
* Ash keeps the Thunderstone until ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', where it is stolen by {{TRT}}.
* The book ''[[I Choose You!]]'' is partially based on this episode.
* James breaks the fourth wall in this episode at the end by saying "Drat, we wasted this episode cheering the good guys!"
* Perhaps in reference to Pikachu using its tail to ground Raichu's Thunderbolt, Pikachu gained the [[Hidden Ability]] [[Lightningrod]] in the [[Generation V]] games.

===Errors===
[[File:EP014 error.png|thumb||175px|Misty's discolored suspenders]]
* In the previous episode, {{p|Dragonite}} was a mysterious and unknown Pokémon. But in this episode, the Pokédex mentions how many of Raichu's volts it takes to knock out a Dragonite.
* In one of the Pokémon Center shots, Misty's suspenders are shown as light blue instead of red.
* During the scene in which [[Nurse Joy]] gives Ash the {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, the symbol on her hat changes from orange to light blue, then back to orange.
* In this episode, it is mentioned that Pikachu is faster than Raichu. In fact, Raichu's base Speed is higher than Pikachu's. However, this may be due to the fact that Pikachu used multiple {{m|Agility}} attacks.
* When [[Nurse Joy]] is explaining that all [[Nurse Joy]]s look alike, she says the one in [[Pewter City]] is her first cousin, and the one in [[Viridian City]] is her second cousin. In [[Pokémon Emergency!]], the [[Nurse Joy]] in Viridian City called the one in Pewter City her sister. If they were sisters they would both share the same relationship with the one in [[Vermilion City]], such as both being first cousins or second cousins.
* Misty asks "How can you see a star in the middle of the day?" The Sun, in fact, is a star, and its appearance in the sky traditionally defines the period as daytime.
* When Pikachu first battles Raichu, Meowth is seen polishing an extra coin. However, Meowth is later seen to not be able to use Pay Day.

===Dub edits===
* Raichu's Pokédex entry didn't actually state Dragonite in the Japanese version. Originally it mentioned an {{wp|Indian elephant}}.
* Lt. Surge says that he doesn't need to use {{t|Electric}} attacks, and would do fine with {{t|Normal}} attacks in the Japanese version which explains why Raichu didn't use any Electric attacks while battling Pikachu.
* Originally Lt. Surge told Raichu to finish Pikachu with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. In the dub, he just tells Raichu to "give us the big finale".
* Brock's stance on Pikachu evolving is more neutral in the original version than in the dubbed version. He also implied in the dub that Pokémon generally change completely upon evolution, while no such implication was present in the Japanese version.
* [[Rachael Lillis]] provided Pikachu's voice in the scene where it is shocking Ash.
* The shot of Raichu constantly trying to {{m|Body Slam}} but missing Pikachu is longer in the English dub than it is in the original Japanese version. Raichu tries to Body Slam Pikachu twice in the Japanese version, but in the English dub, Raichu tries ''three times''.
* Pikachu and Raichu's voices are removed in the English dub from the scene where Pikachu confuses Raichu with {{m|Agility}}.
* The shot where Raichu launches its final Thunderbolt is slightly shorter in the English dubbed version than in the Japanese one.
* The scene where {{TRT}} were commenting on how Pikachu grounded the attack was rewritten in the dub. In the original version, Jessie mentioned how Pikachu used its tail as an ''assu'', meaning ground. James replaces it with Dog''assu'', explaining why he's holding his {{TP|James|Koffing}}. Meowth then hits and scolds them for not taking them seriously. In the dub, Team Rocket recites one of the most infamous pun sequences of the early episodes. Jessie starts in with "What a ''shocking'' story!" James follows up with "That was quite a ''tale''!" Meowth finishes the sequence by hitting them while saying "And now you have both been ''PUN''-ished."
* During the original Japanese version of the scene where Pikachu was making its decision whether to evolve or not, there was no music playing in the background.

'''Lt. Surge's Raichu''' (Japanese: '''マチスのライチュウ''' ''Matis's Raichu'') is [[Lt. Surge]]'s main Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} and games.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Lt Surge and Raichu.png|thumb|220px|Lt. Surge and Raichu]]
Raichu made its appearance in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' where it was responsible for brutally defeating many opponents, as the Pokémon Center started to get crowded. This happened before Ash entered the Vermilion City Gym. Later during Ash's arrival, Lt. Surge sends it out to him and {{ashfr}}. Lt. Surge laughed at {{Ash}} for not evolving Pikachu, thinking evolved Pokémon are always better. This infuriated him and made Pikachu, also infuriated, want to battle Raichu.

In the battle, both sides start of with ThunderShock but Raichu's turns out to be powerful, which weakened Pikachu drastically. Raichu easily defeated Pikachu with a combination of Mega Punch and Mega Kick.

Ash returned to the gym for a rematch after Pikachu was healed. He ignored Lt. Surge's advice on evolving Pikachu into a Raichu. In the rematch, Raichu was able to hit Pikachu with Body Slam but Pikachu was able to use two new attacks, {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which were both learned before the rematch, before being finished off. As Raichu evolved too fast, it never learned any speed attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this by using his speed attacks to confuse Raichu. Lt. Surge decided to cancel them by having Raichu Thunderbolt the field. However, Pikachu dodged it by using his tail. When Raichu was about to use Thunderbolt again, it ran out of electricity which gave Pikachu the upper hand. Pikachu finished off Raichu with his tail attack before Raichu made full contact with Take Down. As Ash eventually defeated Lt. Surge in a rematch, it proved to him that evolved Pokémon are not always better.

Raichu was seen again in a flashback in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' when Ash was recalling the fun times he had with Pikachu, and in another one in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', where Raichu was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}.

Both Raichu and Lt. Surge reappeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' in a flashback.

===Personality and characteristics===
Raichu's attitude towards Ash's Pikachu almost completely mirrors Lt. Surge's attitude toward Ash. When they first meet Raichu, it doesn't have a high opinion of Pikachu. However, after being defeated, Raichu grows to respect Pikachu.

==In the games==
Raichu appears as Lt. Surge's Pokémon in the player's Gym battle against him in all games he appears in. In {{game|Yellow}}, it is his only Pokémon, much as in the anime. In other games it is not his only Pokémon, but it is always present. Lt. Surge's Pikachu that he has in the games is also shown below, since Surge said in the anime that he obtained his Raichu as a Pikachu.

==Big Error==
This [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztmn2O7WxRU video] I recorded with my dvr yesterday show the old 4kids logo appear near the end of the credits. Maybe this should be included. Is this considered an error? [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 17:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

::It's a running error. It happened with two episodes back in the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|Battle Dimension]] [[arc]], and has since recurred with nearly the entire [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|Galactic Battles]] arc to date. This is due to [[Cartoon Network]] using reformatted credits that fit in with their credits templates that also allow a commercial to be shown on the top half of the screen at the same time. For some unexplained reason, the reformatted credits call on the old 4Kids logo at the end, similar to presentations on the old Miguzi block.

'''Iris's Emolga''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのエモンガ ''' ''Iris's Emonga'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Iris}} obtained.

==History==
Emolga made her debut in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' where she used her {{m|Attract}} move to take apples from a group of {{p|Patrat}}. She later encountered [[Iris's Axew]] chasing an apple down a hill. She acted kind towards Axew so that she could have obtained [[Pokémon food|food]] from Iris; however, she ran off after being smothered and almost captured by {{an|Bianca}}. She was later reunited with Iris whose Axew wanted to share its fruit. The trio then ended up deep in a forest filled with hostile {{p|Swoobat}}. They teamed up to try to battle the Swoobat, but Emolga's {{m|Discharge}} and {{m|Hidden Power}} attacks weren't enough to defeat all of them. However, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were able to rescue them. Once they were safe, they returned to their camp, where Emolga flew into Iris's arms and accepted capture, much to Bianca's distaste.

In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Iris decided to give Emolga some training and she was sent out to battle with Bianca and her {{p|Pignite}}. With one Attract, Pignite became infatuated and was recalled to his [[Poké Ball]]. She then battled {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} but kept using {{m|Volt Switch}} to get other Pokémon, such as {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to battle for her. She got into a bit of a scrape with Ash's {{AP|Snivy}} who was not impressed by her laziness. However, the two end up settling their differences temporarily when they both worked together to stop a rampaging {{p|Simisear}} and also saved its life from a giant falling boulder.

In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', Iris sent out Emolga, alongside {{AP|Tranquill}}, to help a revived {{p|Archen}} learn to fly. She started off by using Attract which failed, revealing that Archen was also female. After being pecked on the head, Emolga used Volt Switch to leave and send out {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} while she slept in a tree.
[[File:Iris and Emolga.png|thumb|220px|Iris and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!!]]'', Iris used Emolga to battle [[Jimmy Ray]] in the [[Club Battle]] tournament. Using her powerful moves, she managed to defeat his {{p|Watchog}} and allowed Iris to advance in the competition. In the [[BW041|next episode]] Iris used Emolga again to battle [[Stephan]] and his {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}}. In the battle, Emolga's Attract was blocked by Sawk's powerful {{m|Close Combat}}, leaving her without her signature tactic. Sawk dominated the battle until he hit Emolga with {{m|Double Kick}}, activating her Ability {{a|Static}}. In order to stall Sawk until the paralysis from Static took effect, Emolga used a stream of Attract attacks, which Sawk was still able to easily knock down. However, while Sawk was deflecting Emolga's Attract, he was unable to let up his fast moves for a second and was stuck until its movements were halted by the paralysis. The side effect of {{m|Close Combat}}, dramatically weakened Sawk's defenses and Emolga was able to defeat him with a single {{m|Volt Switch}}, which she couldn't use previously in the battle because it was a one on one match, however being used to finish the battle would not have broken any rules.

In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Emolga helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from {{TRT}}. She repeatedly used Hidden Power on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter until she was joined by Pikachu, [[Ash's Roggenrola]], Axew and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

In ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', Emolga had a training battle with [[Ash's Swadloon]]. The battle seemed particularly even until Emolga got caught in Swadloon's {{m|String Shot}}, where Iris cleverly ordered Emolga to use Discharge, sending a powerful jolt straight down Swadloon's thread and caused him a lot of damage. Eventually, Swadloon evolved into {{p|Leavanny}} and after making many leaf-hoods for the other Pokémon, he turned his attention to Emolga and Snivy. Though Emolga wasn't too pleased with the hood, she still took the chance to poke fun at an obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable Snivy. When the gang awoke from a nap and found Axew to be missing, Emolga was sent to search for him from the skies. On her search, Emolga spied a {{p|Durant}} carrying Axew into a cave and flew back to lead the gang to the cave. Emolga later joined Pikachu, Leavanny and {{AP|Scraggy}} in battling a large swarm of Durant so that they could retrieve the still sleeping Axew but the Iron Ant Pokémon continuously defended with {{m|Protect}}. Emolga used Attract to infatuate all but one Durant, which she and the others were able to defeat on its own, allowing Iris to rescue Axew.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Gluttonous Emolga.png|thumb|220px|Emolga being gluttonous]]
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|left|200px|Emolga and Snivy]]
Emolga can be a strong battler but can also be lazy and gluttonous. She has a particular fondness for apples. She will often use her cute looks to manipulate those around her to get what she wants. Her conniving ways are shown when she uses {{m|Attract}} on Pokémon such as [[Ash's Oshawott]] and they willingly give up their food without realizing what they just did. She also uses {{m|Volt Switch}} regularly in an attempt to avoid doing any work, such as battling. Emolga can also be a drama queen as shown when she lied to {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} about three {{p|Watchog}} hurting her when she just wanted to get apples from the Watchog. However, she is still good at heart, as she tried to protect {{an|Iris}} and Axew from a group of {{p|Swoobat}} and thanked [[Ash's Snivy]] for helping her, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} get out of a scrape with a {{p|Simisear}} a little bit later. In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she was shown to still hold some animosity towards Snivy. Also in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting ''again'', and while fighting they dumped paint on both their Trainers by mistake with their tails.

==Trivia==
* Emolga is Iris's only Pokémon that doesn't have a weakness to one of its own [[type]]s.
* Emolga is the only Pokémon of Ash's Unova traveling companions that hasn't been seen being defeated in a battle.

'''Ash's Pidgeot''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピジョット''' ''Satoshi's Pigeot'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] during his travels through the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto.png|200px|thumb|left|As a Pidgeotto]]
===Kanto===
Ash caught Pidgeot as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]], in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Having [[EP001|previously]] failed to capture its pre-evolution, {{p|Pidgey}}, and a {{p|Spearow}}, Ash was prepared to fight the Pidgeotto before attempting a capture. However, his {{AP|Caterpie}} was easily defeated by the {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|ThunderShock}} to weaken Pidgeotto and Ash captured it. Its first battle was against [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]], but both it and Pikachu were defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}.

It reappeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', where it managed to weaken a wild {{p|Weedle}} for Ash to capture, but the small bug escaped when [[Samurai]] arrived and challenged Ash to a battle. Weakened by battle with Weedle, Pidgeotto battled Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}} and was defeated by a {{m|Tackle}}. It also battled {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} when Ash had a rematch with {{an|Brock}}, but its {{m|Gust}} proved ineffective on the [[Rock (type)|Rock]]/{{type|Ground}} Pokémon, and it was knocked out and recalled.
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto Gust.png|thumb|left|220px|Repelling [[Misty's Starmie]] with {{m|Gust}}]]
It had a much more successful battle in the [[Cerulean]] Gym, where it fought {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Although the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, Pidgeotto easily had the upper hand over Starmie, using Gust to propel Starmie with great force into the Gym's wall. However, it was defeated easily along with {{AP|Butterfree}} by [[A.J.]]'s powerful {{p|Sandshrew}}, despite the type advantage.

Pidgeotto was gradually weeded out as an everyday battler when Ash captured {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Charmander}}, used most often to blow away {{m|SmokeScreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]'s balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Pidgeotto bore Pikachu into battle with a giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, and was the only one of itself, {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} to avoid Tentacruel's attacks, allowing Pikachu to attempt to negotiate a truce with the colony.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto fought against [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly evolved into {{p|Venomoth}}, and its Stun Spore crippled Pidgeotto, forcing Ash to pull Pidgeotto for Charmander. It was also used by Ash as a shock attack whilst breaking into Team Rocket's hideout in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]''
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto Quick Attack.png|thumb|220px|Pidgeotto slamming Rhydon with Quick Attack]]
Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's Gym battle in ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]''. Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur were being brutalised by Giovanni's {{p|Kingler}} and {{p|Machamp}}, commanded by Jessie, but Pidgeotto turned the tables by using a {{m|Quick Attack}}/{{m|Double-Edge}} combination to inflict serious damage on the {{p|Rhydon}}.

It provided wind effects in [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion!]]'', and was also sent out to battle the [[giant]] {{p|Gengar}} in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. However, its {{m|Gust}} had no effect on Gengar, and it was absorbed by the monster. It reappeared after the giant {{p|Jigglypuff}} put the huge creature to sleep.

Pidgeotto towed Team Rocket's balloon all the way to the stadium in order to allow Ash to reach his battle with [[Ritchie]] in time. However, it was too exhausted to battle, leaving Ash with only his disobedient {{AP|Charizard}} to fight with once Squirtle and Pikachu were defeated.
[[File:Ash Pidgeot released.png|thumb|left|220px|Pidgeot leaving]]
In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] following the [[Indigo League]]. Here, he encountered an old enemy; the {{p|Spearow}} Ash had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]] had evolved into {{p|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local {{p|Pidgey}} flock.

Pidgeotto tried to lead the wild Pidgey to safety, but was badly injured. Desperate to help its fellow birds, Pidgeotto [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pidgeot and attacked Fearow with {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It then lead the other {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to defeat Fearow. Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a sneak attack.

He promised to return for it after he was finished in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], a sentiment that he still hoped he could do in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. However, Ash has yet to fulfill that promise, with its role as his Flying-type being filled by such new Pokémon as {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Unfezant}}.
{{-}}

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Pidgeot.png|left|thumb|Ash and Pidgeot]]
[[File:Ash and Pidgeotto.png|thumb|Ash holding a hurt Pidgeotto]]
Ash's Pidgeot did not undergo as much character development as his other five team members, as it had far less episodes focused on it. However, it was loyal and had an extremely strong relationship with Ash, the only one of his original six Pokémon he had never been on bad terms with before or after capture. It always followed his orders to the letter, even when this resulted in personal risk of self injury - taking on Fearow, Jessie's Arbok and the Ancient Giant Gengar are just three examples. Brock once stated that Pidgeotto would take any attack for Ash, and Misty lamented that {{AP|Charizard}} was not as loyal as Pidgeotto.

===Moves improvised===
'''Gust Counter Attack''' a variation of Gust, used to force the foe to evade. This technique was used only once by Ash's Pidgeotto in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Pidgeotto slams its wings together, creating a small air flow around his wings forcing [[Jessie's Ekans]] to jump away.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto EToP.png|thumb|right|200px|Pidgeotto in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]

[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] also owns a Pidgeotto in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. It is the fourth Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga. It first debuts in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. In that chapter, it was given the nickname {{wp|Walter Pidgeon|Walter Pidgeotto}} (Japanese: '''ビジョン''' ''Vision'').

Pidgeotto's capture is not shown, it is first seen when Ash is writing home to [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]] describing the Pokémon he has captured on his journey so far. Later, he tries to use it in his Gym battle against {{an|Misty}}, but it has disappeared from its [[Poké Ball]], leaving a note saying "I'm beat! Off to get some R&R. Don't forget to write! -Pidgeotto".

It is unknown if Pidgeotto has permanently left Ash's party following this. It does not appear in the manga since then, including when Ash brings his entire party out of their Poké Balls in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. The role of Ash's main Flying Pokémon is instead filled by [[Ash's Fearow]].

==Trivia==
* Pidgeot debuted long before the episode in which it evolved. Since the first episode of the series, Ash is shown throwing a Poké Ball containing Pidgeot and battling a Fearow in the opening ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.
* Pidgeot has since appeared in the tenth opening for the anime, ''[[Spurt!]]''. However, it did not return in any episodes aired with the opening.
** Pidgeot also appeared in the ''{{OBP|Battle Frontier|dub}}'' opening along with {{p|Tyranitar}} ({{AP|Larvitar}}'s mother). It was the only one of Ash's old Pokémon to have its Spurt! scene carried across to the dub opening.
* Pidgeot is the first evolved Pokémon caught by Ash.

I think it's a tad soon to be removing it entirely. It's not 100% confirmed that that egg hatches into Meguroco, although I admit it's entirely possible. But for all we know, the egg could hatch into Zuruggu and go to Iris, a'la Togepi, then Ash'll catch the sunglasses Meguroco. Or the egg hatches into something different that Ash Oaks for Meguroco. Or something. All I'm saying it, it's a bit too soon to be doing anything more than acknoweledging the possibility that the egg is Meguroco. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

== A little help? ==

Can someone that understands Japanese watch the episode and answer a question for me that I am curious about? I am wondering if Ash was specifically trying to capture Sandile during the battle before it evolved into Waruvile (before Pikachu sent it blasting off), or if Sandile/Waruvile just wanted to have a battle with Pikachu for some other reason (i.e. to see who was stronger, rivalry, etc.)? We never saw Ash bring out a Poké Ball to try to capture it, but that doesn't mean that wasn't his intent with the battle. Please and thank you. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 00:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

:Firstly, anime =/= games. Secondly, he wasn't really "knocked out". Knocked out emphasizes that the Pokémon was hurt and fainted, identified by the swirly eyes.

== Ash's Pokémon Template ==

For the record, I watched the episode and there is no reason that the wild Cottonee should be on there and Sandile not. They were both treated in the exact same way.

'''Iris's Excadrill''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのドリュウズ ''' ''Iris's Doryuzu'') is the first Pokémon that {{an|Iris}} caught, but made his first on-screen appearance in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Iris Drilbur.png|left|thumb|220px|As a Drilbur]]
Excadrill, as a {{p|Drilbur}}, first met Iris as a child after tormenting some {{p|Patrat}} and stealing their food. She challenged him and after being defeated countless times, Iris finally managed to get the better of the Drilbur and got him tangled in some vines. Unfortunately, he was dangling over a cliff. Iris saved him from a deadly fall and the two began training together. Drilbur won all of his matches through one-hit KOs, never taking a hit in the process. They eventually entered a tournament, where he evolved into Excadrill while battling a Trainer's {{p|Druddigon}} and won, earning Iris a streak of ninety-nine straight wins. Iris, looking to get her 100th win against a Dragon Master, challenged [[Drayden]] to a battle which he happily accepted. Excadrill put up a good fight against Drayden's powerful {{p|Haxorus}}, but he found himself taking hits for the first time. Haxorus soon knocked Excadrill out, and Excadrill, ashamed of having lost and thinking he let Iris down, closed himself off from her.

He was later introduced to {{Ash}} and {{an|Cilan}} in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'' when [[Iris's Axew]] got stuck in the horns of a wild {{p|Scolipede}}, and both [[Cilan's Pansage]] and [[Ash's Snivy]] tried and failed to stop it. Reluctantly, Iris sent out Excadrill to help. But as soon as he came out, he stayed in his inactive state and refused to do anything. After Iris rescued Axew herself, Excadrill came out of his inactive state and attacked Scolipede after Scolipede inadvertently kicked him. He easily defeated it and sent it flying off into the horizon. Excadrill cried out in victory before going back into his inactive state.

Iris sent out Excadrill to help out in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'' when {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} went missing after falling down a hole. However, Excadrill refused to help, remaining inactive and forcing Iris to recall him. He appeared again for a short time in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' to fend off a swarm of {{p|Swoobat}}, but as usual he just remained idle. He then fell for {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}'s {{m|Attract}} and was returned to his Poké Ball. Then in [[BW025|the next episode]] he was brought out by Emolga's {{m|Volt Switch}}, but still did nothing.
[[File:Excadrill covered.png|right|thumb|220px|Excadrill while inactive]]
In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', after Axew was knocked out by [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Beartic}}, Excadrill was sent out to battle. After intentionally being knocked into a tree, Excadrill came out of his stasis and battled the Freezing Pokémon. He was knocked out and returned to his idle state of being curled up. Later that night, he wandered off and managed to learn how to use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but could not perform it properly. Iris then trained with him, and together they managed to perfect the attack. With his confidence in his Trainer restored, Excadrill re-challenged Beartic, which resulted in a draw. Despite tying, Excadrill was still pleased with the results, embracing his Trainer in a hug.

Iris used Excadrill in the final round of the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' in her battle against {{Ash}}. He went up against [[Ash's Pikachu]], and after a long battle, managed to beat the Electric Mouse Pokémon, allowing Iris to win the tournament.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', he was let out of his Poké Ball by {{AP|Snivy}} when she found it amongst those that [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, to free Pikachu and Axew from their cages with {{m|Metal Claw}}. He later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, while the other Pokémon worked out an escape.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Excadrill battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. He landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining his {{m|Drill Run}} with Snivy's {{m|Leaf Storm}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

Iris chose Excadrill to participate in the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', he was sent out to battle [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Dewott}} and began battling it in the [[BW071|next episode]]. After withstanding an {{m|Ice Beam}} attack, Excadrill narrowly avoided Dewott's {{m|Water Pulse}} with Dig. However, after Dewott sent a Water Pulse into the hole, Excadrill took a lot of damage. He landed his first hit when he collided a short range Focus Blast with Dewott's {{m|Razor Shell}} and soon after, was able to knock its [[scalchop]]s away. Iris then ordered a barrage of Metal Claw attacks, but Dewott took the damage and countered with {{m|Revenge}}, heavily damaging Excadrill. After Dewott retrieved its scalchops, Excadrill met its Razor Shell with an equally powerful Drill Run, knocking Dewott back. The match ended with Excadrill overpowering Ice Beam with Focus Blast, hitting Dewott with a Dig attack and knocking it out with a final Drill Run. Later, in ''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]'', Iris and Excadrill faced [[Montgomery]] and his {{p|Throh}}. Excadrill tried to use Drill Run, but Throh countered by grabbing Excadrill and using {{m|Circle Throw}} on it. Next Excadrill tried to use Dig, but Throh used {{m|Superpower}} on the ground, forcing Excadrill to resurface. The Judo Pokémon then defeated the Subterrene Pokémon with a {{m|Seismic Toss}}, eliminating Iris from the tournament.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Iris and Excadrill.png|right|thumb|220px|Iris and Excadrill]]
Excadrill, just like [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] before him, did not listen to his Trainer in his debut. However, unlike the other two, this was not in disloyalty to his Trainer. In reality, Excadrill is a very proud Pokémon who was once very caring towards his Trainer. However, after a devastating defeat, he becomes very upset to the point of hiding his face from Iris for years and distrustful of her advice in battle, fearful that it would make him lose again. He later reassured himself after learning {{m|Focus Blast|a new attack}} and opens up to his {{an|Iris|Trainer}} once again.

Excadrill, as a Drilbur, was shown to be somewhat of a bully when it stole apples and abused a group of {{p|Patrat}}. Like [[Ash's Snivy]], Excadrill has a passion for battling and won't ever give up, no matter what the circumstances. He always looks for different ways to improve. He is most often used in tournaments.

'''Ash's Leavanny''' (Japanese: '''サトシのハハコモリ''' ''Satoshi's Hahakomori'') is the sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Sewaddle.png|left|200px|thumb|As a Sewaddle]]
Leavanny first appeared as a {{p|Sewaddle}} while {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. He randomly attacked [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash tried to catch him, but was not successful, since Sewaddle ran away. He later reappeared and knocked Ash to the ground when the trio met [[Burgh]], the Gym Leader of the [[Castelia Gym]], who revealed that he was accompanying Sewaddle through the forest, even though he was not his Pokémon. When Ash and his friends tried to say hello to Sewaddle by using the two sensory knobs on the top of his head, he {{m|Tackle}}d Ash, while he kindly said hello to {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Burgh. Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Burgh then followed Sewaddle throughout the forest, watching him eating, as well as watching his sleeping habits.

When Sewaddle started eating some fruit, two {{p|Woobat}} started to attack him. Ash protected Sewaddle from an {{m|Air Slash}} attack. Pikachu and Sewaddle then scared off the Woobat. Sewaddle then offered Ash some fruit, showing that he was slowly beginning to like him. Later that night, Sewaddle even went into Ash's sleeping bag with him. The next day, a {{p|Patrat}} kidnapped Sewaddle in order to heal its sick friend, as a leaf from a Sewaddle has healing properties. However, Sewaddle got away, just to get stuck on a {{p|Deerling}}'s neck, and to get thrown over a cliff into a river, with Ash diving in to save him. Burgh then used his {{p|Leavanny}} to save both Sewaddle and Ash from going over a waterfall. Sewaddle was very thankful, but his "clothes" got messed up during the fall. However, Burgh's Leavanny made him new clothes. Ash asked Sewaddle if he wanted to join him, and Sewaddle happily allowed Ash to capture him. But once he was captured, his [[Poké Ball]] became sealed, as Ash had seven Pokémon on him at the time. This meant Ash had to send over one of his Pokémon to [[Professor Juniper]] in order to retain Sewaddle in his party, to which he chose his {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}}.
[[File:Ash Sewaddle Rolled Up.png|200px|thumb|left|Sewaddle sleeping]]
In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', Ash wanted to have Sewaddle examined by a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] so he would know how compatible he was with him. He showed him to a C-class Connaisseuse by the name of [[Burgundy]]. She confirmed that his [[Ability]] is {{a|Swarm}}, which she thought was a bad thing, as she thought Ash would be better off with a Sewaddle with {{a|Chlorophyll}}, not doing anything to support her claim. When she said he should replace Sewaddle, he fired a String Shot at her in anger.
[[File:Ash Swadloon.png|thumb|right|220px|As a Swadloon]]
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Sewaddle was boldly sent out to fight Burgh and his {{p|Dwebble}}, after {{AP|Tepig}} had already been defeated. Like in Tepig's battle, Sewaddle's attacks were all countered by Dwebble's {{m|Protect}} and he got hit with a powerful {{m|X-Scissor}} attack. Faced with an approaching {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, Sewaddle used String Shot to dodge by pulling himself towards the ceiling along the thread. After using String Shot to redirect another Rock Wrecker from his path, Sewaddle met another X-Scissor attack with {{m|Tackle}} and knocked Dwebble out of its rock. While Dwebble wasn't able to defend itself, Sewaddle hit it with a powerful {{m|Razor Leaf}}, Tackle and a second Razor Leaf, defeating Dwebble. Sewaddle stayed in the battle to fight Burgh's {{p|Whirlipede}} next. He continued to make use of his dodging technique with String Shot and the wrapped Whirlipede up in the thread. However, Whirlipede effortlessly cut through the thread and hit Sewaddle with a strong {{m|Steamroller}} attack twice in a row, tearing through Razor Leaf in the process. Sewaddle next attempted {{m|Bug Bite}} but was knocked back by {{m|Iron Defense}} and hit by yet another Steamroller attack. Sewaddle was next hit by Whirlipede's {{m|SolarBeam}}, which seemed as if it would defeat him until Sewaddle evolved into {{p|Swadloon}}. Swadloon wrapped Whirlipede up with String Shot as it did before, however, despite the move appearing much stronger than before, Whirlipede was still able to cut through the thread and attack. Swadloon attempted his dodging technique once more but Whirlipede cut through the thread attached to the ceiling, letting Swadloon fall. Swadloon was still able to stop Whirlipede's attack with his newly learned {{m|Energy Ball}} and finish it of with Tackle. Swadloon's third opponent was Leavanny and he was wrapped up in a very think String Shot. Ash cleverly told Swadloon to hit himself with Razor Leaf, damaging himself but freeing him from the thread. However Swadloon was quickly defeated by powerful {{m|Leaf Storm}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks.

In ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', Swadloon battled against [[Iris's Emolga]] in a training battle. After being hit hard by a {{m|Discharge}} attack that Emolga sent down the thread of Swadloon's String Shot, he perked up and evolved into Leavanny. His innate caring nature came to force right away and Leavanny made leaf hoods for the young {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and {{AP|Scraggy}}, who were very pleased with them. Leavanny then noticed three wild Sewaddle who all had withered hoods. Not giving it a second thought, Leavanny made new hoods for the three Sewing Pokémon. After making more hoods for Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and Emolga, the gang sat down for a nap. While sleeping a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Durant}} came across the gang and took the leaf hoods for food as well as Axew, who was still wearing his outfit, because their poor eyesight led them to believe he was a pile of leaves. When the gang awoke, Leavanny helped search for the missing Pokémon. After Emolga led the gang to the entrance of the Durant's maze, Leavanny cleverly lined the cave with thread behind the group to mark the way out of the maze. Once they found the Durant's nest, Leavanny created leafy cocoons for Ash and Scraggy so they could retrieve the still sleeping Axew. Leavanny joined the others in fighting the Durant after Ash revealed himself, however the team's moves were all blocked by {{m|Protect}}. After Pikachu, Scraggy and Emolga managed to defeat the swarm, Leavanny led the gang back through the maze and to safety.

In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)]]'', Ash chose Leavanny as his third Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]], whose {{p|Koffing}} had already defeated [[Ash's Boldore]] and {{AP|Unfezant}}. Though Ash knew {{type|Grass}}s were at a disadvantage against {{type|Poison}}s, he was not discouraged. Leavanny first attacked Koffing with Energy Ball, which scored a direct hit. Koffing tried to counter with {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but it was quickly stopped by Leavanny's String Shot. Ash had Leavanny spin Koffing around with the thread, preventing it from attacking him, until he finally fired another Energy Ball, which was enough to finally defeat the Poison Gas Pokémon. Roxie next sent out her {{p|Scolipede}}. Leavanny's Razor Leaf didn't seem to do a thing against the giant {{t|Bug}}/Poison-type, and Roxie had Scolipede use {{m|Toxic}} on Leavanny, {{status|poison|badly poisoning}} him. In [[BW084|the next episode]], Leavanny fired an Energy Ball attack but Scolipede dodged it easily, before attacking Leavanny with {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which, with the damage caused the worsening poison, was enough to defeat the Nurturing Pokémon.

In [[BW090]], Leavanny was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Morishima]]'s {{p|Karrablast}} and won the battle. Thus, Ash advanced to the second round.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Swadloon sewing.png|thumb|250px|Swadloon sewing]]
As a Sewaddle, Leavanny was childish, often doing things without warning when Ash first met him, such as attacking {{AP|Pikachu}} for no reason other than to battle. He was stubborn, and wouldn't admit to his feelings for Ash right away, but after he had been saved a few times, he became more comfortable with Ash, and snuggled up to him. Since then, he had been very caring towards his Trainer, even to go so far as to wrap [[Burgundy]]'s head in a {{m|String Shot}} web when she suggested Ash get rid of him.

As a Swadloon, Leavanny had also been competitive since his debut, and has a strong passion for battling. He always tried his hardest, even when he was at a strong disadvantage during his battle against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}}, where he still refused to give up, and eventually evolved. Since he has evolved, Swadloon is a bit more mature, although he still got a bit childish when he believed {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Scraggy}} took his food in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]''. However, he still has a passion for battling. Swadloon also has some sewing skills, as seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', where he helped make costumes for [[Luke]]'s movie with [[Luke#Leavanny|his Leavanny]].

After evolving into Leavanny, he adopted a more caring nature and acts like a parent to the other Pokémon. He also became very independent, prancing off on his own to find leaves to use for clothes, taking a lot of pride in his work. He is also able to make good use of his newly acquired skills, cleverly lining the {{p|Durant}}'s maze with thread to mark the way out without being commanded to by his Trainer. As shown in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)]]'', he has also been able to use these new skills in battle to great effect.

Pao27: /* Relationship with Axew */

== incorrect history ==
You guys do know that Doryuzu was slacking off BEFORE it fought Pendra, right? and then it went back to slouching off [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:32, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
:All of the information of this article is based on what I've seen in the scan and the preview and the preview shows it coming out of its ball, attacking, and the slacking off. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 18:36, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Drill Liner? ==
Umm...Is it confirmed that the "Drill Liner" used by Doryuzu is actually a [[Drill Liner]]? It might just have been a "regular attack" if you know what i mean. The rushing used by [[Pendra]] could also be a [[Take down]]... [[User:TheBlackPokemonMaster]]
:"It strikes the opponent while rotating its body like a drill." Confirmed. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 22:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

== Level/badges and behavior? ==
Notwithstanding the fact that many specific game mechanics don't traditionally apply to the anime, considering the fact that Doryuzu do not exist below Level 31 naturally and the circumstances of its capture/ownership by Iris are relatively unknown, is it possible that her Doryuzu's behaviour can be attributed to its level and her apparently lacking the appropriate badges? (I'm basing that off the idea that game!Iris is future anime!Iris, considering in the anime she seems to be just starting her journey as a trainer, and Iris in the game seems to be Shaga's apprentice, but it seems just as likely that the anime could pull a Misty on us, except in a more... competent manner.) {{unsigned|Wohdin}}
:Definitely not the badges thingy here. If that's the case, even her Kibago won't listen to her since she has no badge. So, game mechanics are totally different then the anime. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 05:24, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== English name ==
is confirmed by the official Nintendo magazine... There's a scan on my Talk page. --- Misaki.
:Yeah, so why was this page protected against moving instead of actually getting moved? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 13:12, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Iris's first Pokémon? ==

In the preview for BW036, a child Iris is seen commanding a Drilbur in battle which later evolves into Excadrill. Wouldn't this make Excadrill her first Pokémon, because she was much older in the flashback in which she got Axew? [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 19:07, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:Waiting for the episode to air would be wise choice, it'll clear it up then. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 19:11, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Axew wasn't there for the whole flashback, could it be Drilbur was her first Pokemon? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 12:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
::: Given that we know Iris only got Axew recently and she hasn't shown any other Pokémon, I'd think it's safe to say that Drilbur was her starter, or at least the first Pokémon she considered hers given that she was playing with a lot of Pokémon. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 19:22, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

== drillbur episodes ==

Can someone fix "This pokemon spent less then one episode episodes as Drillbur." into "This pokemon spent less then 1 episodes as Drillbur."? --'''[[User:Branfili|Branfili]] [[User talk:Branfili|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Branfili|My edits]]''' 12:07, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== Slash/Fury Swipes ==

Iris said 'Midare Hikkaki' (Fury Swipes) not 'Kirisaku' (Slash). So you need to change this error. --- Misaki, 14:48 - 26 May 2011.

== Order Iris' team ==

In the box that appears with Iris' Pokémon, the Axew-Excadrill-Emolga line-up, isn't that line-up based on the moment the Pokémon was added to the team? In that case, shouldn't Excadrill be in front, and not behind Axew? {{unsigned|Gideon Kreeter}}
:I believe we're doing it based on debut order. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 14:50, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

== Unknown number of episodes ==

I don't think his 'number of episodes to evolve' section should be marked as unknown, as Drilbur evolved prior to the start of the Best Wishes series. If there is any way to list it as 'prior to debut', or something similar, I think it should be like that. [[User:Torngentleman2|Torngentleman2]] 18:19, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

==Relationship with Axew==
I have noticed that Excadrill doesn't mind Axew in Iris' hair or when it is standing nearby.Is it safe to say that Excadrill gets along with Axew? [[User:Gatogirl|Gatogirl]] 02:29, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

:::Thats probably it but still, its an enormous stretch. We don't note whether Ash's Charizard got along poorly with Misty's Poliwag after the Charizard Chills battle, or Snorlax's with Tracey's Scyther after its loss to Gary's Scizor.

One of Excadrill's characteristics implies he is the powerhouse of Iris's team. He is undoubtedly strong but now she has a clearly powerful [[Iris's Dragonite|Dragonite]], should it be changed or something? --[[User:Pao27|Pao27]] ([[User talk:Pao27|talk]]) 09:19, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

'''Seven-colored Arch''' (Japanese: '''七色アーチ''' ''Nanairo Āchi'') is the third ending theme of the [[Best Wishes series]]. It debuted as an ending song in [[BW061]], replacing ''[[Can You Name All the Pokémon? BW]]''.

==Ending animation: BW ED 3==

'''Iris's Emolga''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのエモンガ ''' ''Iris's Emonga'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Iris}} obtained.

==History==
[[File:Iris and Emolga.png|thumb|220px|Iris and Emolga|left]]
Emolga made her debut in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' where she used her {{m|Attract}} move to take apples from a group of {{p|Patrat}}. She later encountered {{TP|Iris|Iris's Axew|Axew}} chasing an apple down a hill. She acted kind towards Axew so that she could have obtained [[Pokémon food|food]] from Iris; however, she ran off after being smothered and almost captured by {{an|Bianca}}. She was later reunited with Iris whose Axew wanted to share its fruit. The trio then ended up deep in a forest filled with hostile {{p|Swoobat}}. They teamed up to try to battle the Swoobat, but Emolga's {{m|Discharge}} and {{m|Hidden Power}} attacks weren't enough to defeat all of them. However, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were able to rescue them. Once they were safe, they returned to their camp, where Emolga flew into Iris's arms and accepted capture, much to Bianca's distaste.

In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Iris decided to give Emolga some training and she was sent out to battle with Bianca and her {{p|Pignite}}. With one Attract, Pignite became infatuated and was recalled to his [[Poké Ball]]. She then battled {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} but kept using {{m|Volt Switch}} to get other Pokémon, such as {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to battle for her. She got into a bit of a scrape with Ash's {{AP|Snivy}} who was not impressed by her laziness. However, the two end up settling their differences temporarily when they both worked together to stop a rampaging {{p|Simisear}} and also saved its life from a giant falling boulder.

In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', Iris sent out Emolga, alongside {{AP|Tranquill}}, to help a revived {{p|Archen}} learn to fly. She started off by using {{m|Attract}} which failed, revealing that Archen was also female. After being pecked on the head, Emolga used Volt Switch to leave and send out {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} while she slept in a tree.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!!]]'', Iris used Emolga to battle [[Jimmy Ray]] in the [[Club Battle]] tournament. Using her powerful moves, she managed to defeat his {{p|Watchog}} and allowed Iris to advance in the competition. In the [[BW041|next episode]] Iris used Emolga again to battle [[Stephan]] and his {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}}. In the battle, Emolga's Attract was blocked by Sawk's powerful {{m|Close Combat}}, leaving her without her signature tactic. Sawk dominated the battle until he hit Emolga with {{m|Double Kick}}, activating her Ability {{a|Static}}. In order to stall Sawk until the paralysis from Static took effect, Emolga used a stream of Attract attacks, which Sawk was still able to easily knock down. However, while Sawk was deflecting Emolga's Attract, he was unable to let up his fast moves for a second and was stuck until its movements were halted by the paralysis. The side effect of {{m|Close Combat}}, dramatically weakened Sawk's defenses and Emolga was able to defeat him with a single {{m|Volt Switch}}, which she couldn't use previously in the battle because it was a one on one match, however being used to finish the battle would not have broken any rules.

In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Emolga helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from {{TRT}}. She repeatedly used Hidden Power on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter until she was joined by Pikachu, [[Ash's Roggenrola]], Axew and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

In ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', Emolga had a training battle with [[Ash's Swadloon]]. The battle seemed particularly even untill Emolga got caught in Swadloon's {{m|String Shot}}, where Iris cleverly ordered Emolga to use Discharge, sending a powerful jolt straight down Swadloon's thread and caused him a lot of damage. Eventually, Swadloon evolved into {{p|Leavanny}} and after making many leaf-hoods for the other Pokémon, he turned his attention to Emolga and Snivy. Though Emolga wasn't too pleased with the hood, she still took the chance to poke fun at an obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable Snivy. When the gang awoke from a nap and found Axew to be missing, Emolga was sent to search for him from the skies. On her search, Emolga spied a {{p|Durant}} carrying Axew into a cave and flew back to lead the gang to the cave. Emolga later joined Pikachu, Leavanny and {{AP|Scraggy}} in battling a large swarm of Durant so that they could retrieve the still sleeping Axew but the Iron Ant Pokémon continuously defended with {{m|Protect}}. Emolga used Attract to infatuate all but one Durant, which she and the others were able to defeat on its own, allowing Iris to rescue Axew.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Gluttonous Emolga.png|thumb|220px|Emolga being gluttonous]]
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|left|200px|Emolga and Snivy]]
Emolga can be a strong battler but can also be lazy and gluttonous. She has a particular fondness for apples. She will often use her cute looks to manipulate those around her to get what she wants. Her conniving ways are shown when she uses {{m|Attract}} on Pokémon such as [[Ash's Oshawott]] and they willingly give up their food without realizing what they just did. She also uses {{m|Volt Switch}} regularly in an attempt to avoid doing any work, such as battling. Emolga can also be a drama queen as shown when she lied to {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} about three {{p|Watchog}} hurting her when she just wanted to get apples from the Watchog. However, she is still good at heart, as she tried to protect {{an|Iris}} and Axew from a group of {{p|Swoobat}} and thanked [[Ash's Snivy]] for helping her, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} get out of a scrape with a {{p|Simisear}} a little bit later. In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she was shown to still hold some animosity towards Snivy. Also in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting ''again'', and while fighting they dumped paint on both their Trainers by mistake with their tails.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Ash and Snivy]]

Appearing in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Snivy was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}} who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.

Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}) succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's Ability, {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her [[Poké Ball]] by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-{{m|Leaf Storm}} combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball amongst those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine]]'s [[Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with Excadrill's {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Clay]] and his {{p|Palpitoad}}. She defeated the Vibration Pokémon, after immobilizing it with Attract and hitting him with all her other moves, without taking a single hit. She stayed in the battle to take on Clay's {{p|Excadrill}}, but all of her attacks were blocked by the Subterrene Pokémon's {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, even preventing her Attract, and she was eventually taken out by its [[one-hit knockout move]]: {{m|Horn Drill}}.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Suwama]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Suwama's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Suwama's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Suwama ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is widely speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer.

==Trivia==
* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was Ash's last capture of the three Unova starters. To contrast, in the previous four regions, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]."

===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. 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 the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his 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 {{AP|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 without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} 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:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] 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 [[Dawn's Ambipom|an 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 in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, 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 {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of 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 {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}}. In the English dub of the [[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. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as 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 {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. 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! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary 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 a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Ash competed in the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]] ''-'' [[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]''. He battled against [[Burgundy]] and her {{p|Stoutland}} in the first round and won using his {{AP|Palpitoad}}. He then battled [[Georgia]] and her {{p|Pawniard}} in ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]''. Ash used his {{AP|Snivy}}. Although she struggled at first, Snivy managed to defeat Pawniard and advance Ash to the next round. Next, in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Ash battled [[Dino]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} with his Palpitoad again and won easily. In the final round, Ash went up against {{an|Iris}} and her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost the match and became runner-up in the tournament. He didn't feel bad, though, and was happy to see Iris win the tournament.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father has not been introduced. The anime 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, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, 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.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. 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. He seems to 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.

====Currently in rotation====

In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, 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 own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every [[Pokémon movie]] to date, likewise, Ash is a main character in every Pokémon movie manga adaptations.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{2t|Water|Psychic}}.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* 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 has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (as {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and shown in several episodes throughout the series. He demonstrates this again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try and save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.

Talk:Ash's Snivy

Pao27: /* Recurring error */

== Grass Mixer/Leaf Storm ==
Looks like there is disagreement about Tsutarja's move. In my opinion, it can't be Grass Mixer. Just compare it with Shooti's Tsutarja's GM. Ash's move features bluish-green leaves, not yellow-green spiral.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 11:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:Just look at Mamepato's gust, did it look like that in the previous regions? No. They can change the animation. So, don't add anything till it's confirmed. Thank you. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 11:40, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah, I'm not adding anything until her first battle, I'm just saying that it definitely is not Grass Mixer; they can also change Leaf Storm's animation, which is more likely.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 11:43, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:::May be. So, I think we just have to wait for Tsutarja's next battle. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 11:51, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::: Did anyone consider "Grass Oath" and Adyniz, they aren't going to change the animation of a move only a few episodes later especially when it's of the same species. If this was Carnivine doing the attack (or insert grass Pokemon that can learn grass mixer if Carnivine can't) then I might be able to see the argument. But yeah two different Tsutarja's with the same move with different animations, doesn't quite make any sense. Personally it's either Grass Oath (since we have yet to see its animation, assuming this isn't it), and Leaf Storm (the only other grass attack that can be remotely redone in animation this "soon"). Air Cutter is a bad example since this is a new series so it likely changed, however a few episodes later and Grass Mixer changes drastically? Not only is the color different, so is its animation. Shooti's Tsutarja's tail controlled the attack Grass Mixer. It looked like Ash's Tsutarja's whole body was controlling this attack (assuming it didn't launch like a normal attack, it's not that fresh in my mind, if Tsutarja was in the swirling leaves as well when trying to hit Mamepato or it was an attack already launched) --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 12:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

::::: They have already changed the animation for Mamepato's Air Cutter from BW002, so it could be Grass Mixer, peromaly I think it is Grass oath, I dout they'd give her a move as powerful as Leaf Storm this early.

Here's an idea - why not label it "Unknown Grass-type Attack" until the name is given? That way, we won't be guessing.[[User:Burnpsy|Burnpsy]] 20:33, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

So wait, it's confirmed to be grass oath??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 01:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:no, but it's the most likely move since it's flavor text states it uses a pillar of leaves [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:46, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone else notice she looks darker when she uses Vine Whip? [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Ash_Tsutarja.png Here's her normally] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Tsutarja_Vine_Whip.png here's her using Vine Whip].

Should something be mentioned somewhere? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:This could be caused by plenty of other factors, most notably the methods and pieces of equipment used to obtain those images. Likely not worthy of note, really. '''[[User:Hexagon Theory|«hexagon]][[User_talk:Hexagon Theory|THEORY»]]''' 05:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

: Also, the previous version is normal colored, probably a small error [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:23, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

::I see. Thanks for pointing it out. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:34, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

== The BW015 Title suggests a Janovy battles Miruhog... Protect this Page ==

If the title is confirmed true, then Snivy's page should be protected. Since the episode has been added on this site, it should be protected in the meantime....[[User:BAC510|BAC510]] 20:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
:If it's not confirmed why lock users out? Plus it's like a month away so it's too early too tell I think we should hold off, but it's up to the admins. [[User:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] 20:49, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::It's autoconfirmed now. New users can't edit this page. Seem like a fair deal? —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 20:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

lol the title was confirmed fake, why is this still locked??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 03:25, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
:No, it's not protected and I can edit it. It's most probably semi-protected. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 04:40, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
::Yep, it's semi-protected. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 05:08, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Ya I know that but why is it still semi protected? I really don't see a reason.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 06:02, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok seriously why is this still semi protected?? the episode was fake lol.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 05:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

== Unknown ==
Hey, should we put "unknown" under its location, since it may be either with Ash or Juniper and that's too long to fit in that little box? --[[User:Chiramii|Chiramii]] 15:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

==Battling pokemon with evolved form==

Could you add Swadloon to the list of pokemon who battled their evolved form...? It did so in the gym battle against Leavenny (BW 25)...[[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 09:24, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== Dub errors for Snivy ==

In BW007, the voice-over claims Snivy was Ash's 5th Pokémon caught in Unova. However, Ash had brought along Pikachu, caught Pidove (BW002), obtained Oshawott (BW003) and captured Tepig (BW004). Snivy was therefore the 4th Pokémon caught in Unova {{unsigned|Chimchar821}}
:No, the narrator said: "Now, with this remarkable Snivy as his fifth Pokémon in the Unova region...". That obviously includes also Pikachu.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:36, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

== New variation ==

I could be wrong but didn't Snivy use a variation of Leaf Storm in the battle against Koharu and Gothita?? By variation I mean new animation. Is that trivia worthy??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 22:58, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
:New animation, not a variation, and it first showed up in the Maractus episode. Not notable since move animations change constantly throughout a series.. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:00, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Well not really, only three pokemon have had a move actually change the way it's used, Tranquil, Snivy, and Oshawott. It seems kinda rare if you ask me.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 23:17, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
:I was referring to all seasons in general. For example, Corphish's BubbleBeam. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:43, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

True but you guys left it on Tranquil's page so I don't see the harm. Makes more sense then some of the other trivia I've seen on here.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 23:49, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

We seem to have another new animation for Leaf Storm with Clay's Gym battle episode.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 21:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

== Ability ==
I find a lot of this with over Pokemon's abilities that it is currently unknown though Snivy can only have Overgrow {{unsigned|Lagomorph}}
:We do not add Abilities until they are confirmed in the actual show, regardless of the fact that they can only have a specific Ability in the games. Also, please sign your comments with four tildes. (~ <-- These things) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:11, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

== Possible Evolution? ==

I just noticed something in the Best Wishes! Season 2 Poster:

[[File:BWS2series.png|500px]]

You can see a Serperior, but Snivy is absent. Should we consider protecting for possible evolution? [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 01:28, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
:Umm, no. It's just a promotional poster. Ofcourse it's going to have all three fully evolved starters on it. By your reasoning, we might as well protect Pignite too. [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 01:42, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
::It has those Pokémon for a reason. And the previous poster did NOT have Samurott, Serperior, and Emboar on it. It's not like we're so sure, it's just that it's '''''possible'''''; it '''''might'''''. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ]] 01:49, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I don't think Pignite and Snivy will evolve. There are some other Pokémon that are not on the poster such as [[Iris's Excadrill]], [[Cilan's Crustle]] and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}. Besides, there hasn't been a Pokémon that belonged to a main character that evolved in a movie onscreen. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:54, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

== Recurring error ==
I've noticed that every time Snivy uses Leaf Blade with the animation she used it the first time, it appears to have a thirth arm and a green feet. And so with Buizel's Water Gun eyes color error, shouldn't this be mentioned too? --[[User:Pao27|Pao27]] ([[User talk:Pao27|talk]]) 08:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC) http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/es.pokemon/images/5/53/EP703_Error_en_Snivy_usando_hoja_aguda.png

::As I said "'''with the animation she used it the first time'''" (The image I show and [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/archive/a/aa/20110303112637!Ash_Snivy_Leaf_Blade.png this one]). My image is from [[BW40]] but I have seen this error also in [[BW10]] and so everytime she uses Leaf Blade that way. --[[User:Pao27|Pao27]] ([[User talk:Pao27|talk]]) 18:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
:::You are right, it is indeed an error in BW040, I couldn't check BW010 though. Anyway, yes, it should be mentioned.

[[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 18:54, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
::::My point is that it should be mentioned in Snivy's page just like Ash's Buizel's eyes color error when he used Water Gun up close. Because this error is visible every time Snivy uses Leaf Blade this way. --[[User:Pao27|Pao27]] ([[User talk:Pao27|talk]]) 21:55, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

'''Who's That Pokémon?''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|だれだ？|Dare da?}}''' ''Who is it?'') is a question-and-answer segment that is featured in numerous episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]].

==History==
===English dub===
In the English [[dub]], ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was originally used from the episodes of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson]]''; the segment later returned in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', after an almost seven year absence. It occurs before and after the main commercial break during the episode. The silhouette of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is shown, with someone usually asking the audience to guess the Pokémon that belongs to the given outline. After the commercial break, the name of the Pokémon is revealed with, usually, the current main characters shouting the name of the Pokémon, and the [[cry]] of the Pokémon shown can be heard. The segment was retired at the end of the [[Pokémon: Advanced|sixth season]] of the anime and was replaced with [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], which was dropped from the dub after two seasons. At the beginning of the [[Pokémon: Black & White]] series, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' began to be featured again. It initially did not feature the Pokémon's cry after being revealed, although this returned in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats]]''. For an unknown reason, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was removed from the [[CITV]] airings of the first two episodes of Pokémon: Black & White. All episodes following use a slight international variation, showing the silhouette of the Pokémon as would be expected at the mid-way point of the episode, and revealing the Pokémon just before the end credits.

Early in its run, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' would feature a Pokémon who played a major role in that episode. In late [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Kanto]] it switched to featuring a Pokémon that played a major role in the following episode, although this wasn't always the case. When [[Johto League Champions]] began, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' became random, with the Pokémon being featured usually not playing a prominent role in that episode, nor did it indicate a Pokémon being featured in a following episode. Also beginning with that [[season]], the dub added a short hint to the screen to aid in the identification of the Pokémon. When the feature returned in Pokémon: Black & White, it originally featured a Pokémon that played a prominent role in the following episode before quickly switching to a Pokémon with a prominent role in that episode beginning with ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]''.

===Original Japanese version===
[[File:PMTV EP222.png|thumb|250px|Pocket Monster TV]]
In the original Japanese version of the show, ''Who's That Pokémon?'' was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and then returned in [[BW061]]. In this version, it almost always featured a Pokémon that played a major role in that episode.

Starting in ''[[EP192|The Wayward Wobbuffet]]'', the segment was renamed '''Pocket Monster TV''' (written in English). There was no functional difference; however, the kids' voices were replaced with a computerized voice, the background was changed, and it showed the featured Pokémon's [[National Pokédex]] number.

The segment was retired at the end of the [[original series]], and was replaced in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} with a generic [[eyecatch]] showing the main characters. This continued into {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and long into the {{series|Best Wishes}}. ''Who's That Pokémon'' returned to Japanese television in ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]''. In this version, all of the [[type]]s that the Pokémon is weak against are listed along with its name. {{AP|Pikachu}} will use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to light up parts of the silhouetted Pokémon as a hint, as with Pocket Monster TV.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version, there are several occasions where the segment intentionally tricks the audience.
** In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', the silhouette is actually [[Brutella]] rather than a Pokémon.
** In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', the Pokémon is actually {{p|Jigglypuff}} from above rather than a perfectly spherical Pokémon like {{p|Voltorb}} or {{p|Electrode}}.
** In ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air]]'', the silhouette is actually a {{wp|Daruma doll}} rather than a Pokémon.
** In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', the silhouette appears to be {{p|Pikachu}}, but is actually just a {{m|transform}}ed {{p|Ditto}}.
** In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', the Pokémon was actually [[Jessie]] dressed as a {{p|Venomoth}}. When the "Pokémon" was revealed, the narrator says "Venomoth", but the children shout "Incorrect!"
* {{an|Mewtwo}} has made two distinct "Who's That Pokémon?" appearances. Its [[EP091|first]] treats it as a regular Pokémon while in [[EP164|the second]], it telepathically says "Prepare to battle", akin to {{an|Mewtwo|its depiction in the anime}}.
* ''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon!]]'' is the only episode, before the {{series|Best Wishes}}, to feature a ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the Italian dub.
* In versions outside of North America created from the American dub of Pokémon: Black & White, the second part of ''Who's That Pokémon?'' is shown at the end of the episode instead of straight after the commercial break. This is likely done to leave the viewers more time to think about what the Pokémon in question might be.

===Errors===
* In ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]'', {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s arm is missing.
* In ''[[EP197|The Art Of Pokémon]]'', {{p|Beedrill}} is stated as the evolved form of {{p|Weedle}}, when it is the final evolution of Weedle.
* In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', the word {{p|Magnemite}} uses the incorrect plural form of ''Magnemites''.
* In ''[[EP240|Some Like it Hot]]'', {{p|Mantine}} is stated to be the heaviest {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} which it is actually the second heaviest after {{p|Steelix}}.
* In ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd!]]'', tail is misspelled as ''tale''.
* In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', {{p|Sentret}}'s face is missing.
* In ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', balloon-like is misspelled as baloonlike.
* In ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', {{p|Vigoroth}} has its footprint included in the space between its left arm and its left leg.
* In ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing!]]'', {{p|Wurmple}} has a white square covering part of its body.
* In ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', the hint has an extra '''in'''.
* In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', {{p|Minccino}} is misspelled as ''Mincinno''.

==Synopsis==
The second round of the [[Ever Grande Conference]] is about to begin but his second round opponent is none other than [[Morrison]]. Now on an Ice Field, {{Ash}} battles at full power while Morrison is hesitant to fight and has finally become unable to move. As Morrison is delaying in selecting his next Pokémon the referee is ready to disqualify Morrison and announce Ash as the victor. Ash interrupts the coordinator stating that Morrison will still battle. Morrison finally sends out his {{p|Growlithe}} to take on [[Ash's Corphish]]. Corphish begins the battle by firing an array of {{m|BubbleBeam}}s at Growlithe. Morrison tells Growlithe to evade Corphish's barrage of BubbleBeams in using {{m|Agility}} continuously. Morrison is clearly still hesitating to fight his friend and rival and is now only commanding defensive moves and cannot bring himself to take any offensive action towards Ash. Corphish delivers a devastating {{m|Crabhammer}} to Growlithe, knocking it out. Morrison has now lost two Pokémon in a row to Ash and at this rate will easily lose the match. Morrison confirms to Growlithe that he did an excellent job while Ash questions Morrison with why he won't put up a serious fight. Ash harshly attacks Morrison's honor and confidence and explains that the pitiful battling strategy that Morrison is displaying is disgraceful and that he is just disrespecting his Pokémon by not allowing them to try their best. Morrison seems really upset telling Ash that he doesn't need to be told that and apologizes to Growlithe for his weak actions. Morrison unleashes in a fiery rage stating that he'll show Ash real battling spirit. {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, and {{ho|Tyson}} are relieved that Morrison has reclaimed his fighting spirit and honor. Morrison chooses Swampert as his 3rd Pokémon. Corphish delivers a Crabhammer to Swampert while Swampert launches a devastating {{m|Focus Punch}} as the two attacks clash together creating tremendous power. Ash is excited that Morrison is giving him a serious and honorable performance as Morrison states that if you don't put your heart into a battle then it isn't a battle at all. Corphish launches another barrage of BubbleBeam while Swampert releases its {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Both Pokémon seem to be evenly matched. Corphish delivers a "Crabhammer of Courage" while Swampert delivers a "Focus Punch with Spirit". Both attacks hit each Pokémon in the face, knocking them out. Both Swampert and Corphish are announced as unable to battle.

As Morrison has lost three Pokémon the battle goes into intermission. While Morrison is left with only three Pokémon Ash still has five to battle with. Max congratulates Ash telling him to keep doing his best. Ash confirms to Max that he can leave it to him. Morrison enters wanting to apologize to Ash for his prior actions while Ash is surprised that Morrison is apologizing. Morrison explodes saying that even he has times like this. Morrison continues on that up until now, he has always thought it'd be great to have fun battles as losing is painful but it'd be fine as long as he had fun with the Pokémon. When Morrison actually won his first round he started wanting to win the next one too! Ash agrees that winning a tournament battle is far different from winning a normal battle. Morrison explains that when he realized that Ash was his second round opponent he didn't know what to do. When Ash yelled at him but there in the battle it made Morrison realize that fighting with all you have is what a real friend would do! Ash confirms Morrison's statement by saying that they should finish the second round at full power. Both Trainers accept a handshake confirming to one another that they won't lose and regardless of what happens, they'll still be friends afterward.

The second half of the round starts as the announcer states that this round will be on a Grass Field. Ash chooses {{AP|Pikachu}} as his second Pokémon as Morrison then releases Steelix making it his fourth Pokémon choice. Steelix releases a spew of {{m|DragonBreath}} while Pikachu dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. Steelix delivers a devastating {{m|Iron Tail}} to Pikachu, which strikes for a direct hit. Morrison seems to be at the advantage in this battle since Pikachu is Electric-type while Steelix is Ground-type. Steelix {{m|dig}}s deep into the ground and comes above smashing Pikachu into the air. Ash tells Pikachu to not give up and respond with Iron Tail. Steelix performs Dig again dodging Pikachu's Iron Tail and smashing Pikachu from underground into the air again. Pikachu delivers a Quick Attack to Steelix which is a direct hit while Morrison shouts to Steelix to not give up and perform an "Iron Tail with Spirit" while Pikachu is commanded to unleash an "Iron Tail of Courage". The two Iron Tails clash creating an array of colors and sparks. Pikachu is blasted towards the ground and announced as unable to battle leaving Ash with four available Pokémon and Morrison with three.

The scene changes as [[James]], [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}} can now be seen walking down a pair of steps announcing that they are selling Rice Crackers, Caramel, Boxed Lunches, Juice, and Bubblegum. One fan asks for a cracker while another asks for ice cream. {{TRT}} seems to be now flooded with orders from various guests in the crowd as they scramble to complete all the orders of the hungry customers. Both Jessie and James are ecstatic as they vow to work as hard as they can as they can obtain an all-you-can eat buffet.

Ash releases {{AP|Torkoal}} as his third Pokémon choice, with the {{type|Fire}} a perfect match for Steelix. Morrison seems to be confident as he notes that he nor Steelix care about Ash's Pokémon Types. Steelix unleashes a barrage of DragonBreath while Torkoal uses {{m|Iron Defense}} to guard against Steelix's incoming attack. Torkoal performs {{m|Overheat}} while Steelix unleashes a second round of DragonBreath as both abilities clash together! The first shot of Overheat intensifies overcoming Steelix's attack and connecting for a direct hit. Torkoal unleashes a spew of {{m|Flamethrower}} while Steelix performs its acclaimed DragonBreath. Both abilities clash again but it results in a draw. Creating a huge cloud of smoke and dust, Steelix digs deep underground appearing to have vanished. Torkoal does into an defensive state going into Iron Defense while a second later Steelix's Dig attack strikes! Steelix launches a colorful array of DragonBreath which scorches Torkoal and scores for a direct hit. Torkoal is announced as unable to battle and Steelix is announced as the victor. This leaves Ash and Morrison tied with three usable Pokémon in the second round.

In a fury of might and strength Ash chooses {{AP|Grovyle}} as his fourth Pokémon. Steelix unleashes its Iron Tail at the beginning of the battle but Grovyle quickly dodges it. This is where stamina and agility meet each other in a battle of might and fury. Grovyle unleashes a load of bullet seeds towards Steelix but burrows into the ground once again in retreat. Just as Steelix comes from underground Grovyle dodges Steelix's dig attack but responds with DragonBreath. Grovyle using {{m|Leaf Blade}} goes directly into the DragonBreath shielding itself from Steelix's attack, dispersing it and then delivers a finishing blow to Steelix.

Morrison states that he won't lose in a battle of speed and releases {{p|Gligar}} as his fifth Pokémon choice. Grovyle performs Quick Attack but Gligar swiftly dodges it and performs {{m|Steel Wing}}. Grovyle just barely dodges Gligar's onslaught of attacks hiding in the deep grass on the field. Grovyle reveals itself from the grass jumping up into the air and unleashing a barrage of {{m|Bullet Seed}} at Gligar which is very effective. Grovyle once again retreats back into the grass while Gligar replies with trimming the grass and reducing Grovyle's hiding space with Steel Wing! Grovyle jumps onto Gligar to perform Leaf Blade but is shaken off by Gligar. Freefalling through the sky, Grovyle is unable to move leaving a perfect position for Gligar to unleash {{m|Guillotine}}. Grovyle attempts to defend itself with Bullet Seed but proves to be ineffective as Guillotine makes contact forcing Grovyle to the ground. Grovyle is announced as unable to battle leaving both Ash and Morrison with two usable Pokémon.

Ash releases {{AP|Swellow}} as his fifth Pokémon choice in this second round challenge. Gligar attempts to quickly end it with Guillotine but Swellow responds with a defensive {{m|Double Team}}. Gligar goes for the fake illusion while Swellow responds with a barrage of {{m|Peck}}s. Gligar dodges and tries to deliver an Iron Tail while Swellow evades with Quick Attack. Gligar unleashes {{m|Hidden Power}} which is a direct hit forcing Swellow uncontrollably towards the ground. Swellow just barely recovers and unleashes {{m|Aerial Ace}} while Gligar launches its total body at Swellow with Steel Wing. Both Pokémon collide in mid-air creating a giant plume of smoke and dust as their abilities are tied in power. Ash commands Swellow to perform an "Aerial Ace of Courage" while Morrison tells Gligar to unleash a "Steel Wing with Spirit". Another violent collision happens as this is a battle of wills! "Aerial Ace with all the courage" and "Steel Wing with True Spirit" are two attacks shouted from both Trainers, Ash and Morrison. The same abilities make a third collision creating the question on peoples minds of which Pokémon will be victorious. More smoke and dust is created as both Swellow and Gligar can be seen falling through the cloud towards the ground. Both Swellow and Gligar are announced as unable to battle. This leaves both Ash and Morrison with only one usable Pokémon making this a unbelievable match.

The announcer questions asking what will each {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s final Pokémon be? Ash chooses {{AP|Glalie}} while Morrison releases {{p|Metang}}. May is surprised that Morrison released Metang while Max states that Ash is at an overwhelming disadvantage! Glalie performs {{m|Headbutt}} while Metang unleashes {{m|Take Down}}. Both Pokémon smash right into each other but this time Glalie takes the bigger hit. Glalie responds with {{m|Ice Beam}} while Metang performs {{m|Confusion}} forcing Ice Beam right back towards Glalie. Metang unleashes Take Down which scores for a direct hit. Glalie unleashes another stream of Ice Beam but is yet returned again towards the source from Metang's Confusion. Glalie responds to the incoming Ice Beam with {{m|Icy Wind}} which reflects the Ice Beam once again back towards Metang. The reflected Ice Beam hits for a direct hit forming an icy aura around Metang. May is surprised by Ash's great idea while Glalie responds with Headbutt making a clean hit. Metang releases an intense {{m|Meteor Mash}} which scores for a direct hit! "Headbutt with all your courage" and "Meteor Mash with true spirit" are two phrases yelled out by opposing Trainers, Morrison and Ash. The match will be decided with this final clash of titans and claim who will move on to the third round of the Hoenn Tournament. Glalie uses its rotation to change direction and get a clear hit. Metang is announced as unable to battle and Glalie as the victor. Ash will now advance to the third round of the Hoenn Tournament. With a magnificent effort, Ash has beaten Morrison to move into the best 8!

The crowd cheers as Tyson is seen commanding Sceptile to fire {{m|SolarBeam}}. Rhydon takes an direct hit making SolarBeam super effective. Rhydon is announced as unable to battle making Sceptile the victor. With a flawless performance Tyson moves on to the best 8!

Morrison is viewing the brilliant flame of the Hoenn Tournament as he shouts out in disappointment that he lost to Ash but realizes that it can't be helped. Ash tells Morrison that he was really fired up during their battle while May states that it was a really great battle. Morrison then wishes Ash the best of luck in his next round but also confirms that the next time they meet, he won't lose! Ash responds back stating that he won't lose either. Tyson says they should all call it a day and rest their Pokémon. The two agree and are seen blazing towards the rest area. May, Max, and Brock are relieved that Morrison and Ash are back to their old selves.

A giant buffet can be seen containing of appetizers, the main course, and desserts are seen shouting out in glory and eating very fast. After James, Jessie, and Meowth have finished their meal the owner states that if they work a littler harder they can watch the store next time. They are overcome with joy with the idea of a temporary promotion to be store managers.

The next round is decided as a clash of titans between Ash and Tyson. Tyson confirms that he thought it would come to this eventually and to have a battle with no regrets. Ash states that he'll fight with his full power as May and Max wish him luck.

Both James and Jessie have fallen asleep after their big meal while Meowth is admiring the tournament pairings for round three. Meowth seems to be plotting some sort of plan towards being in charge of the store.

Tyson lectures his Pokémon to put their heart into the battle as they confirm back with various replies. Tyson tells his Pokémon that Ash is a strong opponent but they have trained hard and can't afford to lose. Tyson starts to prepare his team for tomorrow with some special training.

Meowth of Jessie and James starts to call Tyson's Meowth towards the bushes where he is hiding. Meowth of Jessie and James goes on to state that they say a strong Pokémon can tell when another one is strong and that he will give Tyson's Meowth some good advice. He goes on to state to stay away from Ash's Pikachu as he pretends to be cute but has unbelievable power! Pikachu has not only destroyed the mecha they built one after another, but he has also sent them flying through the air! Tyson's Meowth goes on to confirm that he will not lose to anyone and goes on to display his strength and power. Meowth is surprised at this display and wonders how he could be so confident. Two branches fall down from atop as Meowth quietly walks away. A tree then begins to fall as Tyson's Meowth's cut becomes visible.

Morrison and Ash are resting outside while Morrison questions Ash telling him that he has a big match tomorrow and should sleep inside. Ash states that he feels more relaxed sleeping outside while Morrison notices that Ash is unusually nervous. Ash is nervous because he will be facing Tyson tomorrow which is a powerful foe. Morrison says that they shouldn't worry over it and go to sleep and tells Ash to not lose. Ash confirms that he will not fall to Tyson in the third match.

The tournament flame can be seen flaming brightly and beautifully as the third match is about to begin. "The first match will be Ash from Pallet Town versus Tyson from Mauville City!" - Announcer. The first half of the battle will be fought on a grass battlefield. Ash chooses Glalie as his first Pokémon while Tyson's releases Sceptile. The match is quickly started as Glalie unleashes an array of Ice Beam while Sceptile releases SolarBeam. Both abilities clash creating a magnificent aura of light from within the stadium.

At last, Tyson and Ash must battle to advance to the Final 4.

'''Ash Catches a Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンゲットだぜ！''' ''I Caught a Pokémon!'') is the third episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 15, 1997 and in USA on September 10, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode picks up right where the [[EP002|previous one]] left off, as {{Ash}} plans to capture a {{p|Caterpie}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He immediately tosses a {{ball|Poké}} at the wild Pokémon, and the device pulls Caterpie inside. The ball hits the ground and begins to shake. Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} watch as Caterpie tries to break out.

After a few tense moments, the Poké Ball stops shaking, signifying that Ash caught {{AP|Caterpie}}. His excitement takes control as he celebrates catching his first Pokémon, holding the Poké Ball and running in circles with Misty, making Pikachu dizzy. When Ash holds the Poké Ball to Misty’s face, she reveals her fear of {{type|bug}}s, even if they are contained in a Poké Ball. However, Pikachu is happy to have Caterpie along, and Ash decides to bring Caterpie out, scaring Misty away.

As Caterpie appears, Misty scampers behind a tree. Ash asks Caterpie to crawl up onto his shoulder, but when Caterpie spots Misty, he immediately bolts over to Misty and rubs up on her leg despite her personal discomfort. Misty’s comments about Caterpie being a “disgusting bug” hurt the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Misty wants to befriend Pikachu instead, which somewhat irritates Ash as Pikachu warmed up to Misty more quickly than to Ash.

Misty continues to complain about Caterpie and to put “one of the three most disgusting things” back into the Poké Ball. When Ash asks about the others, Misty remarks “{{wp|Carrot}}s, {{wp|Bell pepper|Pepper}}s, and bugs.” Ash, however, is offended at how Misty’s discomforts are used to hurt Caterpie’s feelings. Ash reassures Caterpie and gets him to climb onto his shoulder. Ash decides to go on without Misty, prompting Pikachu to tag along.

Moments later, Pikachu notices Misty trying to keep up with Ash. Although Misty tries to hide, Ash spots her and questions why she is still following her. Misty brings up the [[Bicycle|bike]] he destroyed earlier and they continue to argue, upsetting Pikachu.

Later that night, Ash sets up for the night near a tree stump, setting a fire. Tucked into his sleeping bag, Ash prepares to retire for the night, with Pikachu and Caterpie on the stump. Misty, also set up on the other end of the stump, exchanges a few smart remarks with Ash before both go to sleep, upsetting Pikachu and Caterpie. While the humans sleep, Pikachu and Caterpie enjoy the starlight view and connect with each other. Caterpie looks up to the moon and envisions his desire to fly as a fully [[Evolution|evolved]] {{p|Butterfree}}.

The next day, Misty is the first to wake up, and the first thing she sees is Caterpie asleep, inches from her. She immediately screams in anguish, shocking Ash and Pikachu awake. Misty angrily demands Caterpie return to his Poké Ball, which upsets Caterpie so much that he crawls over and does just that. Ash demands Misty to apologize for being so mean and tries to coax Caterpie out. Then, a wild {{p|Pidgeotto}} swoops down and lands in a brush, feeding on a worm. Ash puts his hat back on and scans with his [[Pokédex]].

Wanting to catch it, Ash throws a Poké Ball, but Pidgeotto simply swats it away. Misty retorts that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to battle and weaken a wild Pokémon to capture it, but when she mentions that he caught Caterpie only because it was weak, the remark irritates Ash to the point where he blindly summons Caterpie to battle, without knowing that Caterpie is at a type disadvantage against Pidgeotto, though both Misty and Pikachu know. While Ash tries to figure out his mistake, Caterpie runs around, trying to avoid the Pidgeotto. Ash orders Caterpie to attack, but Pidgeotto is too strong and sends Caterpie spiraling into a tree, incapacitating it. Pidgeotto attempts to swoop in for another attack, but by Misty’s suggestion, Ash recalls Caterpie into its Poké Ball moments before Pidgeotto can strike, instead getting its beak lodged into the tree.

Ash sends Pikachu after Pidgeotto just as it frees itself. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} to hit Pidgeotto, weakening it and allowing Ash to toss a Poké Ball. The ball takes Pidgeotto in and drops to the ground, rocking. After a few moments, the ball ceases movement, and Ash catches the {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Despite the success, Misty continues to berate him about his lack of strategy knowledge.

The [[Team Rocket trio]] intrudes on their argument, reciting their {{motto}}. They decide to target his Pikachu, revealing its incredible power, causing an internal argument before they decide to attack. They send out {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} to battle, despite a [[Double Battle|double-team]] being unfair. Misty wants to jump in, but Ash doesn’t want to break the rules. Koffing’s {{m|Sludge}} attack blinds Pikachu, taking it out of the battle. While he hands Pikachu off to Misty, he decides to send out his newly caught Pidgeotto.

Pidgeotto dodges both Koffing and Ekans attacks before going into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Ekans avoids the attack by {{m|Dig|going underground}}, forcing Pidgeotto to come to a sudden stop. Koffing fires a {{m|Smog}} attack, which Pidgeotto splits with its wings before dodging multiple Sludge attacks and Ekans’s retaliation. Despite soaring high in the sky, both Ekans and Koffing keep up with Pidgeotto. It misses a {{m|Gust}} attack on Koffing, which results in a harsh double {{m|Tackle}} attack from both opponents, taking it out. Ash recalls Pidgeotto and tries to fight Team Rocket by hand, but [[James]] easily holds him back and swats him aside.

It looks bad for Ash, but he decides to send out Caterpie to battle. The sight of the bug simply amuses Team Rocket as they prepare to attack. Caterpie looks down, when Ash orders it to fire {{m|String Shot}}. The attack completely incapacitates Koffing before Caterpie muzzles Ekans. Caterpie rushes into a Tackle attack on Koffing, sending it into Ekans and thus taking them both out, shocking everyone. {{MTR}} tries to step in, but also gets wrapped up in String Shot. Team Rocket retreats.

Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, even from Misty. Ash asks Misty to simply pat Caterpie on the head, and despite initial discomfort, Misty goes ahead. Suddenly, Caterpie sprays mist from its mouth. Ash puts Caterpie down as the mist covers Caterpie, signaling evolution. Caterpie evolves into {{p|Metapod}} as Ash checks it on the Pokédex. Ash bonds with his Pokémon, which gets Misty’s approval. Despite a slight bond with {{AP|Metapod}}, the sight of a {{p|Beedrill}} scares Misty as she looks forward to quickly leaving the forest. Ash isn’t however, as he seeks to capture more Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* This is the first episode in which [[evolution]] is shown.
* This is so far the only episode in which a main character catches two Pokémon of different species.
* According to a quote from this episode, Misty cannot stand carrots, peppers and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
** Also, in regards to another quote from this episode, Misty mentions that she is ten years old. This was only said in the original.
* This was the first time a main character catches a Pokémon that would later evolve in the same episode, the second being more than 500 episodes later in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.
* This is the first episode where type advantages are mentioned: {{type|Flying}} moves are effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* A [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real animal]] appears in this episode, as Pidgeotto is seen eating a regular worm.
* In this episode when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, it shoots a shower of white silk string from its mouth onto itself and sheds its skin in the process, similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
* Misty owns a red sleeping bag decorated with bubbles, while Ash owns a blue sleeping bag. "Satoshi" (Ash's Japanese name) appears on the name tag of his sleeping bag.
* Ash mentions that the [[Pokémon League]] has regulations stating that Trainers may only use one Pokémon at a time in battles. This rule may have changed years later in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, in which [[Double Battle|two-on-two battles]] are not considered unusual.
* Despite the episode title saying "''a'' Pokémon", Ash catches ''two'' Pokémon.
* Both Pokémon Ash catches in this episode are released by the time Ash travels to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

===Errors===
* In the dub, Ash calls Misty by her name, even though she hasn't mentioned her name yet, since the scene in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' where she originally mentioned her name was in the Japanese version. Her name ''is'' mentioned in the English version, but Ash isn't anywhere near [[Nurse Joy]] when she says it.
* When Caterpie is about to attack Pidgeotto, his right 'paw' is green.
* When Ekans and Koffing were going in to attack Caterpie, Ekans's Japanese voice can be heard.

===Dub edits===
[[Image:Misty Slap2.png|thumb|200px|right|The cut shot]]
* In the English version, Misty reads the episode title at the start instead of Ash, while in the Japanese version, Ash reads the title.
** This is justified in that, in the dub at least, Ash is busy gloating over his caught {{p|Caterpie}}, and thus is unable to read the episode title like he usually does.
* When Caterpie is looking sad due to Misty telling it to stay in its Poké Ball, the katakana for "Ga~n" (a Japanese sound effect) moves across the screen. This was painted out for the dub.
* When Misty is telling Ash that birds eat worms, there is a shot where she slaps him for putting his Pokémon in danger. This was cut from the dub.
* How Misty and Ash commented on Caterpie is different between the versions (mostly due to religious censorship). In the English version, Ash was mentioning how he loves Caterpie, and Misty sarcastically responds how it doesn't take a lot to love a worm; whereas in the original version, Ash comments that he and Caterpie are the same kind of Heaven, and Misty retorts that their Heaven is ''her'' Hell.
* While Ash tells Caterpie "Counter", some have taken this to mean the {{m|Counter|move}}, which Caterpie cannot learn. In the original, Ash told it merely to "fight back".

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with the group on the deck of a ship, with [[Ever Grande City]] visible ahead. They've finally reached the site of the [[Hoenn League]]'s [[Ever Grande Conference]], where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who have earned their eight [[Badge]]s will test their abilities. There's one week to go until the tournament starts, and {{Ash}} has some serious training to do. But as {{an|May}} points out, there's something else to do first. Get something good to eat. Namely, ramen.

We now see that {{TRT}} is following the ship in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine}}. Inside, they're all moaning about the hard work of following the twerps, but when [[James]] suggests taking some time to rest, he is vetoed by [[Jessie]], who insists that if they stop now, they'll miss their chance at something big. She isn't sure what, but is quite certain there's something waiting for them.

Evidently, there's a very good ramen shop somewhere in Ever Grande City, one of the best three in all [[Hoenn]], called the ''Ever Grande Noodle Nosh''. This information, along with directions to get there, is in the Ever Grande Conference Shop and Restaurant Guide which May has. When she announces that she intends to hit all the good shops and restaurants in town while they're there, the males of the group appear somewhat taken aback.

Some time later, as the group makes its way down a narrow back street somewhere in the city, [[Max]] asks his sister if she's really sure the shop is in a place like this. As she expresses her certainty, and the others express their doubts, we see that the group is being watched by a flock of {{p|Murkrow}}. A few moments later, one Murkrow steals the guide book, and the rest of the flock attacks. {{AP|Pikachu}} drives them off temporarily, but more swoop down to take their place. The cycle continues until a {{TP|Tyson|Meowth}} - one wearing boots and a hat - comes to their rescue.

The Meowth, with help from {{ho|Tyson|its Trainer}}, drives off the current group of Murkrow, and for no apparent reason, no more come to take their place. Our heroes thank him for the help, and while he's saying it's no big deal, he sees the restaurant guide lying on the ground. It turns out he's also going to the same ramen shop.

Next comes a scene in the ramen shop, where the Trainer, named Tyson, tells Ash that he, too, will be in the tournament, and so they're rivals. Tyson and {{an|Brock}} exchange the standard set of compliments over how well the Meowth has been raised and the quality of Brock's Pokémon food. The conversation continues, with bonding between Tyson and the group, until Tyson notices the time. He has to get going, or he'll be late.

Tyson runs out of the shop, with Ash and the rest of the group close behind. Ash asks what the rush is, and Tyson replies that the sacred fire will be arriving soon. The sacred fire is the flame of {{p|Moltres}}, which will burn in the central torch of the tournament, and Tyson is one of the runners.

We cut to a scene where League President [[Charles Goodshow]], together with the local [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] and a small crowd of spectators, is waiting for the flame to arrive. In the bushes nearby, Team Rocket is listening. Jessie's intuition about something big was correct. Their next target is the flame. They'll be able to get a great price for it from a collector, and give part of it to the Boss.

The flame arrives by car, just as Tyson arrives and apologizes for being late. Then our heroes arrive, and when the League President greets Ash and Brock by name, May and Max are very impressed. Ash explains that they were torch runners once. May and Max are even more surprised than before when Goodshow knows May's name, too. He was impressed by her performance in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], which he watched on TV.

Tyson sets off running with the flame, with his Meowth running beside him. In the bushes, Team Rocket's {{MTR}} watches, and doesn't seem to like what he sees. Jessie and James tell him to get moving, and all three run off to get started on their plan. Our heroes are about to set off for the stadium when Goodshow's limo pulls up, and he invites them to join him for the ride, since they're all heading to the same place.

As Tyson runs along a route lined with people, the limo takes a back road. As it goes over a hill, the occupants get their first view of the stadium complex for the tournament. Goodshow points out the [[Pokémon Center]] where registration and announcements will take place. He also tells May and Max about the restaurants and shops nearby.

Ash registers for the competition, and receives the official guide to the tournament, of which Max takes possession. Meanwhile, Brock is doing exactly what would be expected of him in a place filled with so many Jennies and Joys, at least until Max drags him away. Ash asks the Joy in charge of registration if Morrison has registered yet. The answer is no. On a screen above the registration desk, we see Tyson arrive at the stadium complex, not visibly tired at all from the long run.

Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}}, who offers to send any of the [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] Ash left with him at any time. Ash declines, saying that he came to [[Hoenn]] to try a fresh start. Though he'd love to let his older Pokémon fight, his current team is ready and willing. He wants to do this tournament with just his Hoenn team. The call ends with some words of encouragement from Oak.

Moments later, an alarm goes off. The sacred flame has been stolen.

The group meets up with Tyson, who tells them what happened. As he delivered the flame to a group of Jennies and Joys, one Jenny caused a distraction by pointing into the distance and saying she thought she saw a real Moltres. As everyone was looking, she and one of the Joys ran off with the flame.

As he finishes the story, the thieves are found. The fake Jenny and Joy are speeding off on a police motorcycle (with sidecar), pursued by a couple of real Jennies. With a bit of fancy driving, one gets ahead and cuts them off, but they turn aside, going offroad and heading straight for a cliff. As the motorcycle goes off the cliff, the thieves jump off and into the basket of the Meowth balloon which has just risen into view. This is followed shortly by the recital of the motto and removal of disguises to reveal Team Rocket.

The balloon starts to leave, and Ash tries the usual Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}} tactic to stop them. As happens with some regularity, the attack is turned back on Pikachu by a device wielded by Meowth. The Jenny on the scene is about to use her {{p|Blastoise}}, but the Joy stops her, reminding her that they can't risk putting the fire out. Tyson sends out his {{p|Metagross}} to stop the balloon with its {{m|Confusion}}. Meowth turns up the flame to counter the pull. Neither side is making any progress, and Goodshow asks Ash if he has any {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. When Ash says he has a {{AP|Glalie}}, Goodshow tells him to freeze Team Rocket. An attack like that won't be enough to put out the flame of Moltres.

Things go exactly as planned. Glalie's {{m|Ice Beam}} freezes Team Rocket, but the flame keeps burning. Metagross pulls the balloon down, and Ash somehow manages to jump into the basket. He takes the flame, but before he can get away with it, Team Rocket breaks out of the ice and tries to take it back. In the struggle, the flame falls out of the balloon. Jessie throws Meowth after the flame to catch it. He grabs it, then realizes he's still falling and panics. Tyson sends his Meowth to get the flame. It jumps up, grabs the flame from Team Rocket's Meowth in midair, kicking Team Rocket's Meowth in the process.

Landing, Tyson's Meowth sets the flame safely on the ground, then turns and says something apparently rather insulting to Team Rocket's Meowth. Team Rocket's Meowth takes offense. In the balloon above, Ash and the human Team Rocket members are fighting, and Jessie yells to Meowth to get the flame back. Team Rocket's Meowth yells to Tyson's Meowth that if it doesn't want to get hurt, it should hand over the flame. The reply is a gesture unmistakably meaning "why don't you try to take it?"

Team Rocket's Meowth tries to attack, but Tyson's Meowth is the one who gets in a hit. Team Rocket's Meowth tries again, but is sent blasting off by an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack from Tyson's Meowth. Ash jumps from the balloon, and is caught by Metagross's Confusion. Tyson proceeds to have Meowth blow up the balloon and send Team Rocket blasting off with a Thunderbolt.

Back at the stadium complex, League President Goodshow thanks Ash and Tyson for their work in protecting the flame, without which the tournament could not start. Ash and Tyson are both looking forward to facing each other in the tournament, and on that note, the episode ends.

'''Tyson's Meowth''' (Japanese: '''テツヤのニャース''' ''Tetsuya's Nyarth'') is {{ho|Tyson}}'s signature {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It appeared during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] between the episodes ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' and ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. Its most notable features are the boots that it wears on its feet and its hat.

==History==
[[File:Tyson Meowth take care.png|thumb|left|225px|Tyson taking care of Meowth]]
Just some time after Tyson began his journey in [[Hoenn]], he first meets Meowth when it was in a pack of its kind in a forest near [[Ever Grande City]] on a snowy night. Their leader was a {{p|Persian}}, Meowth's evolved form. Meowth had a fierce {{pkmn|battle}} with the leader and was defeated by a combination of {{m|Fury Swipes}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. After the battle, the pack abandons the Meowth and leave. Tyson sees this and brings the hurt Pokémon to a cabin he was traveling to. In the cabin, he helps Meowth to return to full health. As the soles of Meowth's feet were painful to stand on, Tyson gave it boots to help it to walk again. Meowth then joined Tyson's [[Party|team]] and became one of his strongest Pokémon.

In ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'', Meowth rescues {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a flock of {{p|Murkrow}}. It became Tyson's walking Pokémon during the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Later, it has a battle with {{TRT}} after they steal the flame of {{p|Moltres}}. Team Rocket's {{MTR}} has a rivalry with the Meowth in boots after it tried to take back the torch from the trio. It was able to defeat Team Rocket's Meowth and finishes them with Thunderbolt, blasting them off.

In ''[[AG126|Saved By the Beldum]]'', Meowth has another battle with Team Rocket after they trapped Ash and Morrison when they were in a race. The Meowth in boots defeats Team Rocket with Iron Tail sending them crashing in some trees. Tyson and Meowth go with Ash, his friends and Morrison to the Pokémon Center in order for Morrison to register for the Pokémon League. Tyson and Meowth leave the center after a brief conversation with Ash and the others, meditating outside.

When it was Tyson's turn to battle in the preliminaries, he chooses Meowth while his opponent, [[Vivica]], chooses Persian. During the battle, Meowth becomes very determined to defeat Persian. Despite the fact that Vivica's Persian had the early advantage, Meowth was able to defeat it. After the battle, Meowth decides to continue the battle even though Persian was [[Fainting|unable to do so]] and Tyson had to hold Meowth back. Tyson recalls the Pokémon before it was able to attack. This made Team Rocket's Meowth soften towards Tyson's Meowth since they had the same hatred of their evolved form.

Meowth was not shown battling in the second round but made a cameo in ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'' where it was shown defeating a Trainer's {{p|Rhydon}}. In [[AG130|the next episode]], Tyson tells Meowth and his other Pokémon that Ash is a powerful opponent but Tyson trained them hard and they cannot afford to lose. Team Rocket's Meowth gives Tyson's Meowth advice but Tyson's Meowth had everything under control when it sliced a tree down, making it fall.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', it was the final Pokémon Tyson had left during his battle against Ash after both sides were down to one Pokémon. During the battle, its speed complements the power of its claws to produce a difficult opponent to beat. Ash ended up having further difficulties as Meowth's {{m|Thunderbolt}} defended itself every time {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Thunderbolt|electric}} {{m|Thunder|attacks}} while Meowth used {{m|Iron Tail}} to swordfight with Pikachu's Iron Tail and {{m|Double Team}} could be used against speed attacks such as {{m|Quick Attack}}. After a long battle, both sides started to feel worn out from the battle. They were able to stand up though. However, Pikachu wasn't able to keep up and fell back down, leaving Tyson and Meowth as the winners. After the battle, Team Rocket's Meowth was more proud to be a Meowth than ever before when Tyson's Meowth defeated Ash's Pikachu in battle.

==Personality and characteristics==
Due to Meowth's hatred of Persian, it refuses to [[Evolution|evolve]] into one despite the fact that Meowth is strong enough to do so. Since its first appearance, it has shown to be quite confident, inside and outside battles, as it refused to follow Meowth's advice about Ash's Pikachu and then assumed the consequences by almost losing the battle against him or when he battled itself its evolved form for leadership. Meowth is proud, determined and holds anxious senses of vengeance, as it refused to obey its own trainer when he tried to stop it from attacking a Persian.

==Trivia==
* Tyson's Meowth is loosely based on the fairytale character [[wp:Puss in Boots (fairy tale)|Puss in Boots]].
* The day Tyson met his Meowth is similar to the time [[Forsythia]] met her {{p|Budew}} in [[DP025|''Oh, Do you know the Poffin Plan!'']], when she gave her Budew her red scarf.
* {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} had to practice and learn how to walk on two legs, having had a natural inclination to walk on all fours. Tyson's Meowth, however, displays the ability to walk without similarly practicing.
** Also Tyson's Meowth and Team Rocket's Meowth both hate {{p|Persian}}.
*Meowth is one of two signature Pokémon belonging to rivals that is unevolved, the other is [[Zoey's Glameow]].
**Interestingly, both are based on cats.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub of ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'', it has the same voice actor as Team Rocket's Meowth. However, near the end of that episode and in all subsequent appearances, it has the same voice as all other Meowth in the anime.
** Also, in the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, during its debut episode, it has the same voice actor as Team Rocket's Meowth. In all later appearances, both the Finnish and English voice actors were heard.

'''Charmander – The Stray Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はぐれポケモン・ヒトカゲ''' ''Stray Pokémon - {{tt|Hitokage|Charmander}}'') is the 11th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 10, 1997 and in the United States on September 22, 1998.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} seem to have lost their way en route to [[Vermilion City]], making {{an|Misty}} very frustrated. The group stops to consult a map that {{an|Brock}} has unfolded, and Ash determines that -- while they are currently in the middle of nowhere -- the trail they are following intersects {{rt|24|Kanto}}, which in turn leads straight to Vermilion City. Brock, satisfied with how they must proceed, puts the map away. But as they move to leave a large shadow suddenly falls across their path, causing them to look up in alarm.

With the sunlight shining directly into their eyes, the source of the shadow manifests itself as the impossibly large silhouette of a Pokémon. Ash quickly orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to get ready, but it has other ideas and takes cover behind the group. Just as he begins to rebuke his Pokémon the sunlight's intensity dims, revealing a {{p|Charmander}} sitting upon a rock as having cast the shadow.

After checking [[Pokédex|Dexter]], Ash is happy that he finally got a chance to catch a Charmander. Brock points out how weak its tail flame is, and that it probably needs help. Ash throws a {{ball|Poké}} at it, but the Charmander whacks it back with its tail. Ash asks if Pikachu should weaken it first, but Misty suggests she try, because her {{type2|water}} Pokémon would help. Brock still doesn't think it is that strong because of its small flame, and suggests that Ash try again.

Ash throws the Poké Ball again, and this time it pulls the Charmander in. However, it breaks out quickly, which causes the Poké Ball to conk off Ash's head. They are surprised by how much spunk the Charmander is showing. "A little too much, if you ask me," was Ash's comment.

Pikachu climbs up onto the rock and talks to the Charmander. It then comes back down and puts on a charades display. Ash eventually figures out that what Pikachu is saying is that Charmander is waiting on the rock for someone else to come pick him up. Brock decides that if it belonged to someone else, it is best to leave it. Ash and friends leave.

Farther down the trail, Ash and friends discover the [[Pokémon Center]] that is on the map. Ash declares that Route 24 can't be far now. And they couldn't have found it at a better time, as it soon starts to rain, forcing Ash and friends to quickly race down to the Pokémon center.

A brief scene showes the Charmander still on the rock, vainly trying to protect its tail flame from the rain with a leaf (it'll die if its flame goes out). Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty is serving up some soup, but Brock is still worried about the Charmander. Ash points out that there's no way the Charmander would have waited around that long. Brock agrees, stating that the trainer surely would have gotten it by now.

However, they hear laughter nearby, and look over to see a trainer named [[Damian]] surrounded by a group of hanger-ons. They are awing over his Pokémon collection, which is pretty sizable, when one of them asks if he has a Charmander too. Damian reveals he did, but since it was so weak, he left it on a rock out in the middle of the woods promising to return for it, which he had and still has no intention of doing.

Ash and his friends realize that it must have been his Charmander they saw and that based on Damian's description of Charmander's loyalty to him, it must still be waiting on the rock. This pushes the normally calm Brock over the edge, and he stands up and makes his way over to Damian. While they continue to laugh about how the Charmander was probably still waiting, Brock confronts Damian, telling him to go get the Charmander.

Damien pushes him off, but Ash and Misty soon arrive to back up Brock. The argument almost escalates to a [[Pokémon battle]], but [[Nurse Joy]] breaks it up, saying Pokémon should never be used in personal battles. Damian and his crew leave, and Joy warns Ash, Misty and Brock about their bad reputation. Brock spaces out in his usual fashion, but Ash and Misty snap him out of it by reminding him about the Charmander.

The three race back through the pouring rain towards the rock where the Charmander is, only to find it has worse problems than the weather. A gang of {{p|Spearow}} attack it, and Ash tries to drive them off by throwing a rock at the Spearow, but this only makes the Spearow attack them. Ash orders a {{m|ThunderShock}} from Pikachu, and it obeys, scaring off the Spearow. Unfortunately, its ThunderShock also inadvertently zaps Ash, Misty, and Brock too.

They quickly wrap Charmander up in their rain coats, Ash volunteers to make sure its tail flame stays lit. They race their way back to the Pokémon Center, and ask Nurse Joy to help.

Nurse Joy is angry at Ash and Co., wondering how they could let the Charmander get into such bad shape. But Ash explains that it was Damian that left the Charmander out there, taking advantage of Charmander's loyalty. Brock pleads with Nurse Joy to save the Charmander, and she promises to do whatever she can.

From there, there is nothing they can do but wait. A montage of scenes show the three waiting, while Brock silently pleads for Charmander to hang on. Nurse Joy soon comes out, though, and reported success. The Charmander has pulled through, and it would be fine by morning.

When morning comes, Ash and Misty are asleep on couches in the lobby, Pikachu asleep below. Ash rolls over, causing his blanket to drop onto Pikachu. Suddenly, Brock shouts, causing Ash to crash off the couch. It turns out Charmander has disappeared from the ER.

Ash is certain that the Charmander simply went back to the rock. Brock wants to go after it again, but Misty points out that it was no use. Even if Damian was a jerk, the Charmander is still loyal to him, and nothing would change that. They couldn't just force Charmander to go with them if it didn't want to.

A scene shows Charmander on its way back, stopping long enough to look back at the Pokémon Center. Ash and friends were soon on their way as well, Brock still disappointed. Ash pointed out that Charmander knew they cared about it, but it couldn't forget about Damian. Misty then slaps Brock, saying that Route 24 was just ahead, and there would be plenty of Pokémon once they get to Vermilion City.

Up ahead, {{TRT}} is grouped around [[Team Rocket's Mechas|their newest mecha]]. They go into a dancing version of their [[Team Rocket's mottos|motto]], but {{MTR}} cuts in early. They declare they now had a foolproof plan to capture Pikachu, and they start up their "automatic super-duper high-speed whatchamacallit," which turns out to be an over glorified hole driller.

Meowth flips, saying they [[EP005|tried this already]], but James assures Meowth that this time, they'll remember where the hole was. They go to work covering the hole, and when Meowth asks if they were sure, Jessie said "Don't you think we're smarter than that?" to which Meowth replies with a face fault. Suddenly, he sees Ash and Co. coming, and alerts the others. They quickly hide, and Jessie orders the mecha to hide itself as well.

Pikachu comes up to the hole and walks right over it. It seems that Pikachu was too light to trigger the pitfall. Jessie and James argues over who blew it this time, until Meowth shuts them up with {{m|Fury Swipes|scratches}} to the face. Ash, Brock, and Misty, being a lot heavier, end up triggering the pitfall and fall into the hole.

Team Rocket then appear, laughing at the fact that their trap worked. Pikachu tries to shock them, but they are dressed in rubber uniforms that don't conduct electricity. Pikachu tries to make a break for it, but they fire the Anti-Pikachu Rubber Balloon Bazooka, which eventually catches Pikachu and traps it inside.

Ash realizes that Pikachu is in trouble. So he quickly tries to climb out of the pit, but fails. He tries to get Misty and Brock to get him up, but he is standing on them. Team Rocket gloats for a while, then turn to leave, but then Charmander steps in their way.

Charmander, as translated by Meowth, orders them to give Pikachu back to Ash and the others. Team Rocket naturally refuse, and warn the Charmander to beat it or else. The Charmander responds by closing its eyes, focusing hard, and it then unleashes a massive {{m|Flamethrower}} that roasts Team Rocket.

They drop the Pikachu balloon and run like crazy, and James screams, "Didn't I tell you we needed fireproof uniforms?!" Jessie tells him to keep running. "Some geniuses", says a despondent Meowth. Team Rocket are "blasting off again" by running off, much to Damian's surprise that Charmander beat them.

Ash, Misty, and Brock, having gotten out of the pit, thank Charmander for its help, and Ash asks Charmander if it wants to come along with them. However, Damian shows up, saying he came back for Charmander, "just as he promised". Ash is angry, saying he was just bragging about how he abandoned Charmander, but Damian laughs, saying it toughened him up. He later says "Besides, what's wrong with dumping off a weak Pokémon?"

Charmander seems to be taking exception to most of these statements, but Damian goes on about not even having to make Charmander tough himself. Brock angrily replies that raising a Pokémon is the best part of being a trainer, but Damian calls it the most boring part. Finally, Damian, having had enough talk, flings a Poké Ball at Charmander. The Charmander, realizing that Damian neither cares nor respects it, whacks the ball right back into Damian's face.

Damian is now furious, and attempts to crush Charmander with every Pokémon he has, but Charmander used Flamethrower on him. Pikachu added injury to injury by adding a ThunderShock of its own. The utterly scorched and fried Damian runs off crying, and the others cheer Charmander for its choice.

Brock tells Ash to go ahead and catch Charmander. Ash protests at first, but Brock convinces him that Ash will raise Charmander to be a great Pokémon. Ash accepts Brock's decision, and takes his opportunity throws a Poké Ball, which Charmander dives into for an easy catch. With a new Pokémon, and a new friend, Ash and friends continue on their way to Vermilion City.

==Trivia==
* This is the second episode in a three-episode arc in which Ash obtains each of [[Kanto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]].
* It is revealed in this episode that using a {{pkmn|battle}} to settle a personal argument is frowned upon, and that Pokémon battles are not supposed to occur in [[Pokémon Center]]s. Ironically, [[Generation IV]]'s {{v|Platinum}} introduces the concept of battling trainers in Pokémon Centers.
* This is the first episode that credits Izumi Shimura as an animation director.
* Damian is shown to be carrying around twenty [[Poké Ball]]s, all allegedly containing Pokémon; however, it is later established that a trainer can only carry six Pokémon at a time in their party, just like in the games. This may be because he wasn't shown to have a [[Pokédex]]; therefore, he is not forced to use the storage system.
*This episode is featured on the ''Volume 9: Charmander'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
*This is the first episode mentioning that Pokemon could die.

===Errors===
[[File:EP011 error.png|thumb|200px|right|The missing "Zs"]]
* In the English dub Ash says that {{rt|24|Kanto}} leads straight to [[Vermilion City]]. In the games, Route 24 is just ''north'' of [[Cerulean City]], which the gang left from four episodes (and, according to Misty, ten days) prior. The quickest way to get to Vermilion in the {{pkmn|games}} is through the underground path on {{rt|5|Kanto}}--just ''south'' of Cerulean. This probably shouldn't be written off as a character flaw, either, given that the gang meets [[Bill]] two episodes later (presumably on {{rt|25|Kanto}}), and this actually ''does'' get them to Vermilion, which they reach the following episode.
* When Ash and his friends rush up to the rock to get a closer look at the shady Pokémon, the "Zs" underneath Ash's eyes disappear.
* Charmander's eye shape changes to resemble that of a Charizard whenever zoomed in upon.
* After Nurse Joy stops running, two extra footsteps are heard.
* When Pikachu is running from Team Rocket's ballon, his feet have pads.

'''Ash's Scraggy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのズルッグ''' ''Satoshi's Zuruggu'') is the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Scraggy Egg.png|left|250px|thumb|Scraggy's {{pkmn|Egg}}]]
Ash received Scraggy's Egg in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' as a parting gift from [[Karena]] for helping her settle a conflict between her granddaughter [[Daniela]] and {{tc|Kindergartner|her students}}, who had befriended a {{p|Trubbish}}.

In ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to Be Wild!]]'', when the Egg started hatching, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} accidentally knocked it over in excitement, causing it to roll down a hill towards some sharp rocks, but {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Quick Attack}} to catch it in midair just in time.

Scraggy hatched from his Egg shortly after and he wasted no time showing off his headstrong nature. When {{AP|Pikachu}} tried to greet him, he used {{m|Leer}} on him and then attempted to {{m|Headbutt}} him, but missed. Ash and Pikachu decided to have a small battle with Scraggy as a "welcome gift". Scraggy was easily subdued by a weakened version of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, while his attacks hardly did anything on Pikachu. He later tried to pick fights with Ash's other Pokémon, {{AP|Pidove}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. Since he was newly hatched, he was easily subdued by their weak attacks. Ash attempted to catch him with his Poké Ball but Scraggy refused, wanting to explore the outside world a little longer.

Later, Scraggy wandered off and started headbutting a tree which was the home of a group of {{p|Galvantula}}. He became {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}, and was heavily injured by Galvantula's attacks and needed to be healed. With no [[Pokémon Center]]s around, {{an|Iris}} quickly made up a potion for him to cure his paralysis. He felt better the next morning and left to confront the Galvantula that attacked him. Again he was outmatched as the entire colony appeared to battle him and was saved by Ash and the rest of his Pokémon. Seeing what they were willing to do for him, Scraggy began to trust his new teammates.
[[File:Ash and Scraggy.png|right|250px|thumb|Ash and Scraggy]]
After returning to camp, {{an|Cilan}} suggested that Scraggy battle [[Iris's Axew]]. The battle ended in a draw when both Pokémon knocked each other out. After the battle, Scraggy happily agreed to go inside his Poké Ball.

Scraggy was used to battle Axew on [[BW020|two]] [[BW027|more]] occasions, but each had the same result as their first battle. Their [[BW029|third battle]] however, Scraggy lost because Axew was able to execute a perfect {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

In ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'', Scraggy met a wild {{p|Cottonee}} who tried to play with him. Like with every new Pokémon he meets, he tried to attack it but was distracted by its {{m|Cotton Spore}}. He eventually befriends the Cottonee after it was shot down by a female Cottonee it was trying to court. Scraggy helped it train in order to prove to its love interest that it was a capable battler. By the end of the episode, Scraggy was called out of his Poké Ball in order to say goodbye to Cottonee and chased it and its lover while waving.

In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', his aggressive attitude landed him and the other Pokémon in trouble when he attacked a group of wild {{p|Foongus}}. In retaliation, they engulfed the Pokémon in a cloud of {{m|PoisonPowder}}, poisoning them. Though, with the combined effort of Ash, {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{an|Cilan}}, everyone was cured of their poison.

In ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Scraggy was used to assist {{MTR}} in negotiating with a wild {{p|Scrafty}} to rescue Axew who Scrafty had kidnapped. In the process, the Scrafty taught him how to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Once Axew was rescued, Scraggy wished to assist Scrafty whose home had been taken by a {{p|Mandibuzz}} as a return favor. Using his new Hi Jump Kick, Scraggy was able to subdue Mandibuzz.

He battled with Axew once more in ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'' to play, untill they ran into a {{p|Gothita}} that took a liking to Scraggy. Gothita's [[Katharine|Trainer]] challenged Ash to a battle on the condition that if she won, he'd have to trade Scraggy away to her. After Ash won, they all stayed the night together in a cabin. Scraggy left with Gothita while everyone was sleeping for a mid-night snack, but Axew came out to bring him back. Gothita ended up disturbing a wild {{p|Garbodor}}. Scraggy attempted to stand up to the Trash Heap Pokémon, but they were only safe when Snivy turned up to defend them. The next day Scraggy was happy to see Gothita storm away after Snivy defeated her.

Scraggy was Ash's chosen Pokémon for the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''. He battled [[Akkie]]'s {{p|Simisage}} in the first round. While the match started of with both Pokémon avoiding each others attacks, Scraggy was eventually able to land a Hi Jump Kick on Simisage. However, Simisage countered by stepping on Scraggy's "pants", so that he couldn't defend with them again, and hit him with {{m|Low Sweep}}. After Scraggy's next Hi Jump Kick missed, he was hit by a barrage of Low Sweeps while he thrived in the pain of his unsuccessful Hi Jump Kick. Simisage was about to finish the match with {{m|Giga Impact}} when Scraggy formed a {{m|Focus Blast}} between his hands, learning a new move, and used it to shield himself from Simisage's attack. Unfortunately; when it came to launching his Focus Blast, Scraggy was unable to keep it on target, though he made up for it by using Leer on Simisage and with its effects, hit it with a Headbutt attack, winning the match. Scraggy continued to watch the first round matches in the [[BW071|next episode]]. While watching, he became annoyed by {{an|Bianca}}'s admiration of him and hit her with Headbutt. During the break between battles, he and Ash began practicing Focus Blast, however, not making any progress. In ''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]'', Scraggy battled [[Bakkie]]'s {{p|Simipour}}. After defending against Simipour's {{m|Aqua Tail}} and {{m|Brick Break}}, Scraggy once again attempted Focus Blast but to no result. After enduring an {{m|Acrobatics}} attack, Scraggy was able to hit Simipour with Leer, block a second Brick Break with Headbutt and win the match with Hi Jump Kick. In ''[[BW073|Commanding the Clubsplosion Crown!]]'', Scraggy faced off against [[Masaomi]]'s {{p|Throh}} during the semi-finals. After persistently trying to weaken Throh's defense with Leer, Scraggy was heavily damaged by Throh's {{m|Circle Throw}} and {{m|Seismic Toss}} attacks. Scraggy then released a barrage of Focus Blasts, all of which failed to hit his target. Scraggy was then defeated by another Seismic Toss, eliminating him and Ash from the tournament.

In ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', Scraggy watched a battle between [[Iris's Emolga]] and Ash's {{p|Swadloon}}, with his friend Axew and was excited to see Swadloon evolve into {{AP|Leavanny}}. When Leavanny first looked upon its young friends, he pranced of and made leaf hoods for them both, which Scraggy was very happy to receive. Whilst the gang were taking a nap, a group of {{p|Durant}} took Axew away, believing he was food, as he was still wearing his leaf outfit. When Scraggy first awoke and found that Axew was missing, he screamed and shouted for him, waking the others up and alerting them to the situation. The gang soon discovered a swarm of Durant's nest, where Scraggy and Ash were both wrapped up in leaves so that they'd be taken to the Durant's food pile so that they could retrieve Axew. However, they were noticed and a huge battle broke out between Scraggy, Pikachu, Emolga and Leavanny and the dozens of Durant. Scraggy was able to easily dodge the various {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Guillotine}} attacks that came his way but like his teammates, he was unable to land a hit on the Durant because of their excessive use of {{m|Protect}}. After all but one Durant was infatuated by Emolga's {{m|Attract}}, Scraggy and Pikachu were able to defeat her and allow Iris to rescue a still sleeping Axew. Leavanny led the gang back through the Durant maze and Scraggy stayed out his Poké Ball with the gang until Axew woke up.

Scraggy was used in his first Gym Battle in [[BW079]] when he was put up against [[Brycen]]'s {{p|Vanillish}}. After a lucky hit with Focus Blast, hitting Vanillish from behind while it used {{m|Blizzard}}, Scraggy won the battle by finishing Vanillish with a Headbutt. Scraggy was then put up against Brycen's {{p|Cryogonal}} but lost to its {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Axew Scraggy playing.png|thumb|right|250px|Scraggy and Axew playing together.]]
From the moment he hatched, Scraggy has been shown to be a headstrong Pokémon who views new Pokémon as opponents. He will {{m|Leer}} at his potential opponents to show his toughness before trying to {{m|Headbutt}} them. His overconfidence often gets him into trouble as he believes he is much stronger than he actually is. As seen in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' when he took on a whole group of {{p|Galvantula}} by himself or in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'' when he took on a group of angry {{p|Foongus}}. A stubborn Pokémon, Scraggy will not give up on trying to defeat an opponent even if he is injured. Despite disliking to do so, he knows when to accept help from his friends and Trainer. He is also shown to care about those who he considers his friends. This is shown in both ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'' and ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'' when Ash tried to recall him to his [[Poké Ball]] but he didn't want to go in because he wanted to help his new friends on both occasions.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', his relationship with Axew was shown to have become strong. Numerous training battles had led the two to become best friends. Both being very young, they are quite playful together, akin to human children.

A Japanese event distributed a game counterpart of Ash's Scraggy via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Interestingly, it always has {{a|Moxie}} as its Ability and knows {{m|Low Kick}} in addition to {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, since its anime counterpart currently only knows the latter three moves. This event started on January 28th, 2011 and ended on February 10, 2011.

'''Ash's Scraggy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのズルッグ''' ''Satoshi's Zuruggu'') is the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Scraggy Egg.png|left|250px|thumb|Scraggy's {{pkmn|Egg}}]]
Ash received Scraggy's Egg in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' as a parting gift from [[Karena]] for helping her settle a conflict between her granddaughter [[Daniela]] and {{tc|Kindergartner|her students}}, who had befriended a {{p|Trubbish}}.

In ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to Be Wild!]]'', when the Egg started hatching, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} accidentally knocked it over in excitement, causing it to roll down a hill towards some sharp rocks, but {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Quick Attack}} to catch it in midair just in time.

Scraggy hatched from his Egg shortly after and he wasted no time showing off his headstrong nature. When {{AP|Pikachu}} tried to greet him, he used {{m|Leer}} on him and then attempted to {{m|Headbutt}} him, but missed. Ash and Pikachu decided to have a small battle with Scraggy as a "welcome gift". Scraggy was easily subdued by a weakened version of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack, while his attacks hardly did anything on Pikachu. He later tried to pick fights with Ash's other Pokémon, {{AP|Pidove}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. Since he was newly hatched, he was easily subdued by their weak attacks. Ash attempted to catch him with his Poké Ball but Scraggy refused, wanting to explore the outside world a little longer.

Later, Scraggy wandered off and started headbutting a tree which was the home of a group of {{p|Galvantula}}. He became {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}}, and was heavily injured by Galvantula's attacks and needed to be healed. With no [[Pokémon Center]]s around, {{an|Iris}} quickly made up a potion for him to cure his paralysis. He felt better the next morning and left to confront the Galvantula that attacked him. Again he was outmatched as the entire colony appeared to battle him and was saved by Ash and the rest of his Pokémon. Seeing what they were willing to do for him, Scraggy began to trust his new teammates.
[[File:Ash and Scraggy.png|right|250px|thumb|Ash and Scraggy]]
After returning to camp, {{an|Cilan}} suggested that Scraggy battle [[Iris's Axew]]. The battle ended in a draw when both Pokémon knocked each other out. After the battle, Scraggy happily agreed to go inside his Poké Ball.

Scraggy was used to battle Axew on [[BW020|two]] [[BW027|more]] occasions, but each had the same result as their first battle. Their [[BW029|third battle]] however, Scraggy lost because Axew was able to execute a perfect {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

In ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'', Scraggy met a wild {{p|Cottonee}} who tried to play with him. Like with every new Pokémon he meets, he tried to attack it but was distracted by its {{m|Cotton Spore}}. He eventually befriends the Cottonee after it was shot down by a female Cottonee it was trying to court. Scraggy helped it train in order to prove to its love interest that it was a capable battler. By the end of the episode, Scraggy was called out of his Poké Ball in order to say goodbye to Cottonee and chased it and its lover while waving.

In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', his aggressive attitude landed him and the other Pokémon in trouble when he attacked a group of wild {{p|Foongus}}. In retaliation, they engulfed the Pokémon in a cloud of {{m|PoisonPowder}}, poisoning them. Though, with the combined effort of Ash, {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{an|Cilan}}, everyone was cured of their poison.

In ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Scraggy was used to assist {{MTR}} in negotiating with a wild {{p|Scrafty}} to rescue Axew who Scrafty had kidnapped. In the process, the Scrafty taught him how to use {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. Once Axew was rescued, Scraggy wished to assist Scrafty whose home had been taken by a {{p|Mandibuzz}} as a return favor. Using his new Hi Jump Kick, Scraggy was able to subdue Mandibuzz.

He battled with Axew once more in ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'' to play, untill they ran into a {{p|Gothita}} that took a liking to Scraggy. Gothita's [[Katharine|Trainer]] challenged Ash to a battle on the condition that if she won, he'd have to trade Scraggy away to her. After Ash won, they all stayed the night together in a cabin. Scraggy left with Gothita while everyone was sleeping for a mid-night snack, but Axew came out to bring him back. Gothita ended up disturbing a wild {{p|Garbodor}}. Scraggy attempted to stand up to the Trash Heap Pokémon, but they were only safe when Snivy turned up to defend them. The next day Scraggy was happy to see Gothita storm away after Snivy defeated her.

Scraggy was Ash's chosen Pokémon for the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''. He battled [[Akkie]]'s {{p|Simisage}} in the first round. While the match started of with both Pokémon avoiding each others attacks, Scraggy was eventually able to land a Hi Jump Kick on Simisage. However, Simisage countered by stepping on Scraggy's "pants", so that he couldn't defend with them again, and hit him with {{m|Low Sweep}}. After Scraggy's next Hi Jump Kick missed, he was hit by a barrage of Low Sweeps while he thrived in the pain of his unsuccessful Hi Jump Kick. Simisage was about to finish the match with {{m|Giga Impact}} when Scraggy formed a {{m|Focus Blast}} between his hands, learning a new move, and used it to shield himself from Simisage's attack. Unfortunately; when it came to launching his Focus Blast, Scraggy was unable to keep it on target, though he made up for it by using Leer on Simisage and with its effects, hit it with a Headbutt attack, winning the match. Scraggy continued to watch the first round matches in the [[BW071|next episode]]. While watching, he became annoyed by {{an|Bianca}}'s admiration of him and hit her with Headbutt. During the break between battles, he and Ash began practicing Focus Blast, however, not making any progress. In ''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]'', Scraggy battled [[Bakkie]]'s {{p|Simipour}}. After defending against Simipour's {{m|Aqua Tail}} and {{m|Brick Break}}, Scraggy once again attempted Focus Blast but to no result. After enduring an {{m|Acrobatics}} attack, Scraggy was able to hit Simipour with Leer, block a second Brick Break with Headbutt and win the match with Hi Jump Kick. In ''[[BW073|Commanding the Clubsplosion Crown!]]'', Scraggy faced off against [[Masaomi]]'s {{p|Throh}} during the semi-finals. After persistently trying to weaken Throh's defense with Leer, Scraggy was heavily damaged by Throh's {{m|Circle Throw}} and {{m|Seismic Toss}} attacks. Scraggy then released a barrage of Focus Blasts, all of which failed to hit his target. Scraggy was then defeated by another Seismic Toss, eliminating him and Ash from the tournament.

In ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', Scraggy watched a battle between [[Iris's Emolga]] and Ash's {{p|Swadloon}}, with his friend Axew and was excited to see Swadloon evolve into {{AP|Leavanny}}. When Leavanny first looked upon its young friends, he pranced of and made leaf hoods for them both, which Scraggy was very happy to receive. Whilst the gang were taking a nap, a group of {{p|Durant}} took Axew away, believing he was food, as he was still wearing his leaf outfit. When Scraggy first awoke and found that Axew was missing, he screamed and shouted for him, waking the others up and alerting them to the situation. The gang soon discovered a swarm of Durant's nest, where Scraggy and Ash were both wrapped up in leaves so that they'd be taken to the Durant's food pile so that they could retrieve Axew. However, they were noticed and a huge battle broke out between Scraggy, Pikachu, Emolga and Leavanny and the dozens of Durant. Scraggy was able to easily dodge the various {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Guillotine}} attacks that came his way but like his teammates, he was unable to land a hit on the Durant because of their excessive use of {{m|Protect}}. After all but one Durant was infatuated by Emolga's {{m|Attract}}, Scraggy and Pikachu were able to defeat her and allow Iris to rescue a still sleeping Axew. Leavanny led the gang back through the Durant maze and Scraggy stayed out his Poké Ball with the gang until Axew woke up.

Scraggy was used in his first Gym Battle in [[BW079]] when he was put up against [[Brycen]]'s {{p|Vanillish}}. After a lucky hit with Focus Blast, hitting Vanillish from behind while it used {{m|Blizzard}}, Scraggy won the battle by finishing Vanillish with a Headbutt. Scraggy was then put up against Brycen's {{p|Cryogonal}} but lost to its {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|AuroraBeam}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Axew Scraggy playing.png|thumb|right|250px|Scraggy and Axew playing together.]]
From the moment he hatched, Scraggy has been shown to be a headstrong Pokémon who views new Pokémon as opponents. He will {{m|Leer}} at his potential opponents to show his toughness before trying to {{m|Headbutt}} them. His overconfidence often gets him into trouble as he believes he is much stronger than he actually is. As seen in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' when he took on a whole group of {{p|Galvantula}} by himself or in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'' when he took on a group of angry {{p|Foongus}}. A stubborn Pokémon, Scraggy will not give up on trying to defeat an opponent even if he is injured. Despite disliking to do so, he knows when to accept help from his friends and Trainer. He is also shown to care about those who he considers his friends. This is shown in both ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'' and ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'' when Ash tried to recall him to his [[Poké Ball]] but he didn't want to go in because he wanted to help his new friends on both occasions.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', his relationship with Axew was shown to have become strong. Numerous training battles had led the two to become best friends. Both being very young, they are quite playful together, akin to human children.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The intense battle between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]] continues! The battle continues from where it left off, {{AP|Buizel}} locked in {{DL|Paul|Drapion}}'s tail. When Buizel tries to use {{m|SonicBoom}} with his free tail, Drapion just grabs it with a free arm, rendering it useless. Ash instructs Buizel to puff up the life preserver object on his neck and then let the air out in an instant. After freeing himself, Buizel uses {{m|Water Gun}} to lift himself into the air, away from Drapion. With Buizel still in the air, Drapion uses {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, littering the field with them and {{status|poison}}ing Buizel. Then, Drapion uses {{m|Pin Missile}} to finish off Buizel, thus leaving Ash with five Pokémon.

Ash then sends out {{AP|Staraptor}} to battle Drapion next. Drapion uses Pin Missile, which Staraptor effectively dodges with its high speed. It then comes down with an {{m|Aerial Ace}}, which Drapion manages to dodge at the last second, and captures Staraptor like it did with Buizel. Drapion uses {{m|Cross Poison}} on the trapped Staraptor, and then Drapion throws Staraptor onto the ground, poisoning it with the remnants of Toxic Spikes, thus knocking out Staraptor.

Ash then sends out {{AP|Torterra}} next, and Torterra feels the effect of the Toxic Spikes instantaneously. Drapion uses Cross Poison on Torterra, and Torterra sends Drapion away with {{m|Energy Ball}}. Ash quickly attacks again with {{m|Leaf Storm}}, hitting Drapion again. Paul instructs Drapion to use Pin Missile to counter the Leaf Storm, which end up neutralizing each other. Torterra comes out of the smoke with a {{m|Rock Climb}}, but is grabbed by Drapion when he is just about to attack and uses {{m|Poison Fang}} on Torterra. Torterra uses {{m|Synthesis}} to gain back some energy and Drapion comes to attack with Pin Missile, again, hitting Torterra and knocking it out, leaving Ash with three Pokémon. Paul asks Ash if he's planning to send out {{AP|Gliscor}} next, to which Ash responds that Paul is correct. Paul recalls Drapion as he tells Ash that he already knows all the Pokémon that Ash will be using because he purposely let him take out his {{DL|Paul|Aggron}}, and {{DL|Paul|Gastrodon}} so he could be certain of Ash's strategy and exactly which Pokémon he'd use. Paul then says that ever since he kept Drapion on the field, he had been able to predict every one of Ash's moves, but much to his shock, Ash is still willing to continue. Ash states there is nobody like Paul and he states that is why he is not losing to him that easily.

Ash sends out Gliscor and Paul sends out his fourth Pokémon, {{DL|Paul|Ninjask}}, which uses {{m|Agility}} right from the start. Ash tells Gliscor to use its newest attack, {{m|Stone Edge}}. However it is easily dodged by Ninjask, still using Agility (Its ability {{a|Speed Boost}} was also helping it move faster too as Brock noticed). Ninjask comes in with a quick {{m|Fury Cutter}}, hitting Gliscor countless times. While falling, Gliscor regains lift and tries to use {{m|Fire Fang}} on Ninjask, but is unsuccessful and Gliscor falls into the field and gains the effect from the Toxic Spikes Drapion had left. Ash recalls Gliscor and sends out {{AP|Infernape}}, who also gets poisoned from the Toxic Spikes. Ash realizes that he's at a major disadvantage while Toxic Spikes are active and tells Infernape to use {{m|Dig}} and leave Paul and Ninjask wondering where it is. Infernape uses {{m|Flare Blitz}} underground, illuminating the entire field in a bright red, alleviating the Toxic Spikes, and also damaging Ninjask. Paul tells Ninjask to use {{m|Giga Drain}} and begins to sap energy from Infernape. At this point everyone notices that Ninjask is not moving as fast as it originally was shown to be. Brock guesses that the damage from Flare Blitz must have canceled Speed Boost out for the time being. As Ninjask drains away its energy, Infernape scrutinizes Ninjask's movements carefully and lands a successful {{m|Mach Punch}}, knocking out Ninjask. Ash and Paul are now tied with three Pokémon each that are able to battle and Ash, knowing Infernape is starting to get tired, recalls it for some rest.

Paul sends out his next Pokémon, {{DL|Paul|Froslass}}. Knowing he's going up against in {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, Ash decides to send in {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul starts things off by having Froslass use {{m|Hail}}, and a thick cold mist soon surrounds the entire battlefield. Froslass begins fading in and out of view, preventing Pikachu from following her movements. Brock explains that Froslass's ability, {{a|Snow Cloak}} has come into effect. Pikachu tries to get an idea on where Froslass is but to no avail, and things become more urgent when Pikachu starts to take damage from the Hail. Ash commands a {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Pikachu tries to hit Froslass, however, the Hail severely restricts the attack and it doesn't even get close to its target. Paul commands Froslass to use {{m|Ice Shard}}, which scores a direct hit against Pikachu. As Thunderbolt isn't working, Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, however he passes right through Froslass without even hitting her. Froslass uses Ice Shard and Ash tells Pikachu to watch out and to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, destroying the Ice Shard and elevating Pikachu into the air. He uses Iron Tail again and finally lands an attack on Froslass, sending her flying into the ground suffering major damage from the super-effective hit. Hail finally subsides, leaving Froslass with nowhere to hide. Paul orders an {{m|Ice Beam}} which hits Pikachu encasing him in ice. Paul tells Froslass to use Ice Shard again, but Pikachu is one step ahead and uses Volt Tackle to escape the ice and hit Froslass before she can even release the Ice Shard. Pikachu suffers [[recoil]] from the attack, but it turns out to be worth it as Froslass is left unable to battle. Ash knows this battle took a lot out of Pikachu and recalls him back to the sidelines.

Paul sends Drapion back out and Ash sends Gliscor back out and encourages it, telling it to show Paul what it learned from [[McCann]]. Drapion uses Pin Missile to start things off and Gliscor quickly dodges the attack. Gliscor uses Stone Edge and Drapion uses Cross Poison to neutralize the Stone Edge. Gliscor is shielded by the remnants of the neutralization of Stone Edge, he then uses {{m|Giga Impact}} in the clouds and comes down to hit Drapion before he could use Poison Fang. Drapion turns around only to be shocked that Gliscor is not there despite that Gliscor hit it with Giga Impact. Paul and Drapion then find that Gliscor is rolling around in the sky, safe from Drapion while he recharges from the Giga Impact. [[Reggie]], who was watching the battle on TV, remarks that Paul's predictions have been crushed and he can no longer predict Ash's strategies. Drapion uses Pin Missile and Gliscor quickly dodges the attack like how Staraptor did earlier, and uses {{m|X-Scissor}} while falling towards Drapion. With the battle entering its final stages, both Ash and Paul are ready to battle to their fullest... however it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious!

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and [[Paul]] continue their [[Full Battle]].
* Paul is revealed to still own the {{p|Ninjask}} he had caught shortly before capturing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}.
* [[Ash's Gliscor]] is revealed to have learned {{m|Stone Edge}}.
* Paul is revealed to have obtained a {{p|Froslass}}.

* This episode marks the first time {{AP|Pikachu}} manages to defeat one of [[Paul]]'s Pokémon.
* The effect of {{m|Toxic Spikes}} is shown differently in this episode to how it works in the games. While in the games Toxic Spikes will {{status|poison}} any Pokémon sent into battle (with the exception of {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, {{type2|Poison}}, and {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon), in this episode it is shown to poison any Pokémon that touches the ground affected by Toxic Spikes regardless of type except for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, as Brock mentioned that Ash needed one because they are immune to the effect.
* This episode shows that Toxic Spikes could be removed without the aid of {{m|Rapid Spin}} or {{m|Defog}}. With some improvisation, {{AP|Infernape}} incinerated the field with {{m|Flare Blitz}} while {{m|Dig|underground}}, once again ignoring game mechanics and effectively removing its effect.
* A portion of the dub title is likely a play on "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rabble_rouser rabble rouser]".

===Errors===
[[File:DP187 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|Infernape's missing tail]]
* When Ash sends out Infernape to battle Ninjask, it took damage from the Toxic Spikes and in the next scene, Infernape's tail was missing. However, it could be due to the camera's angle.
* {{p|Drapion}} was able to dodge {{AP|Staraptor}}'s {{m|Aerial Ace}} easily despite the move having a 100% chance of hitting the target.
