(Japanese: '''モクロー登場！アローラでポケモンゲットだぜ！！''' ''It's {{tt|Mokuroh|Rowlet}}! Catching Pokémon in Alola!!'') is the fourth episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]'', and the 943rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on November 24, 2016 as a one-hour special alongside [[SM003]], in Canada on April 8, 2017, in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2017, and in the United States on May 14, 2017.<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==Blurb==<br /> &lt;!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/20_04-first-catch-in-alola-Ketchum-Style/--&gt;<br /> &lt;i&gt;While Ash tries to catch his first Pokémon in the Alola region, Team Rocket is making friends with a Mimikyu and a Bewear, who carried them off to its cave so it could take care of them. When a flock of Pikipek steal Bewear’s food, the villains decide payback is in order!<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Ash has been sharing his lunch with a hungry Rowlet, and when he follows it back to its Pikipek friends, he runs right into Team Rocket catching the entire flock in a net! Rowlet frees its friends and sends Team Rocket packing (with help from Bewear), and then joins Ash on his journey!&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> In the [[Melemele Island]] marketplace, {{AP|Litten}} receives some {{Berries}} from [[Anela]]. As Litten eats, a flock of {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Pikipek}} fly overhead led by a {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Trumbeak}}. Behind them, a {{AP|Rowlet}} tries to keep up. They all swoop down on the market, taking berries and fruit from the stalls as the Rowlet spies a wind chime. The flock fly off with the fruit and berries as Rowlet takes the wind chime. Anela invites Litten to come back for food. In the forest, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are battling a {{p|Grubbin}}, which they hope to make their first capture in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. Pikachu attacks Grubbin as {{Rotom}} provides Ash with information about Grubbin as Pikachu weakens Grubbin with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Ash throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} which begins to shake only for Grubbin is able to escape. Grubbin goes underground as Pikachu gets ready to attack. Grubbin emerges from the ground and scares {{an|Lillie}}.<br /> <br /> The battle continues, but Pikachu is soon defeated and Grubbin escapes. After checking on Pikachu, {{an|Mallow}} shows Ash the way to the [[Pokémon Center]] as the others head back to school. {{an|Bewear}} is outside its {{TP|Bewear|den}} whilst {{TRT}} are inside. [[Jessie]] makes several attempts to capture {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}, but Mimikyu is able to swat the ball away. They fear that Bewear will eat them and Mimikyu is the only one they can use against it. This causes [[James]] to drop a [[Luxury Ball]] on the floor, which Jessie notices and decides to use it. Despite James's protests, Jessie throws the ball at Mimikyu and catches it. Before Jessie can pick it up, Bewear returns, but instead of eating them, Bewear feeds them some honey which they love. At a nearby Pokémon Center, Ash and Mallow are greeted by [[Nurse Joy]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}}, and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}}. Nurse Joy is happy to help Pikachu and Blissey takes Pikachu off for treatment. Ash notices Comfey, a Pokémon he hasn't seen before and asks Rotom for data which it provides along with data on Blissey. Ash and Mallow agree this makes them the perfect Pokémon to assist Nurse Joy.<br /> <br /> Pikachu soon returns after being treated where Nurse Joy informs Ash that Pikachu is now fully healed. Rotom decides to test Pikachu by pulling on its tail which results in everyone getting zapped with Thunderbolt. Later, Rowlet, Trumbeak and the Pikipek return to the nest with their haul. {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Toucannon}} and Trumbeak aren't impressed with the wind chime Rowlet brings back and Trumbeak gives a lecture but grows annoyed when Rowlet falls asleep before sending Rowlet off to bring back some food. The next day, whilst having breakfast, Ash vows that today he will capture a Pokémon. Rotom explains they have a strong chance of capturing Pokémon in the forest behind the school. Mallow confirms this, because that is where she caught {{TP|Mallow|Bounsweet}}, who releases a sweet smell. This catches the attention of Rowlet, who mistakes it for food and dives down to grab it, only for Bounsweet to fight back. As Rotom provides information on Rowlet, Mallow explains that Bounsweet is used to it as Rotom explains that the smell Bounsweet released tends to attract {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.<br /> <br /> At that moment, Rowlet comes back for another attack but is bounced back onto a power line and falls, but Ash saves it. When Rowlet comes round, Ash checks Rowlet and sees that it is okay, after which Rowlet notices some fruit and happily starts eating as Ash offers it a banana. Later, once Rowlet has finished, Ash gives its head a stroke before asking Rowlet if it would like to join his team, but Rowlet spots a watermelon and flies off with it. Ash and Mallow chase after it. Back at Bewear's den, Bewear is nowhere to be seen. Team Rocket, now feeling full thanks to Bewear's food, prepare to leave. Jessie grabs the Luxury Ball with Mimikyu inside, but as they go to leave, the Pikipek and Trumbeak swoop in and take Bewear's berries. They decide to get the berries back to thank Bewear for its generosity, which James and Meowth agree to do.<br /> <br /> Back at the nest, Toucannon awaits the return of Rowlet along with the return of Pikipek and Trumbeak and remembers hatching the Pikipek eggs which also include Rowlet's. Rowlet returns with the watermelon which Toucannon is pleased with. Trumbeak and the Pikipek return, also pleased, just as Ash and Mallow arrive and notice the family. As Rotom provides information on the evolutionary line, Ash is surprised on seeing how many friends Rowlet has. Suddenly, Team Rocket fires several nets which captures the Pikipek, Toucannon and Trumbeak and say their motto. Ash orders them to let the Pokémon go, but they won't after they stole Bewear's food. Meowth fires another net which grabs Bewear's berries, as Jessie sends out Mimikyu to battle Pikachu. As the battle progresses, Ash tells Rowlet to save its friends. Rowlet manages to cut through the net containing the Pikipek with one kick, which annoys Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> Rowlet goes to free Toucannon and Trumbeak, but after seeing Pikachu about to get hit, Rowlet launches its own attack before flying Pikachu out of the way. After making sure Pikachu is alright, the battle continues as Rowlet releases Toucannon and Trumbeak. The battle continues but is stopped when Bewear arrives and carries them away. Once they are gone, the Pikipek and Trumbeak thank Rowlet for saving them. Seeing Rowlet is happy with its family, Ash says goodbye to Rowlet and decides to leave without catching it. Rowlet looks upset about this but Toucannon nudges Rowlet, encouraging Rowlet to go with them. Rowlet flies into Ash's backpack. Ash is surprised but realizes Rowlet wishes to join his team much to Rotom's surprise. Rowlet flies into the air as Ash brings out a Poké Ball and throws it at Rowlet, successfully catching it, to the surprise of Rotom. Mallow is also surprised but guesses Ash has done this before. Ash brings Rowlet back out, who flies into his backpack, which Ash guesses Rowlet likes as Rotom updates its data on Rowlet.<br /> <br /> ==Major events==<br /> &lt;!-- This is not for summarizing everything that happens in this episode.

His major difference from other {{p|Meowth}}, and nearly all other Pokémon, is that he can [[Talking Pokémon|talk]] and walk on two legs like a [[human]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===Main series===<br /> ====History====<br /> =====Pre-series=====<br /> [[File:Young Meowth.png|thumb|220px|Meowth as a kitten]]<br /> In a flashback in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', {{p|Meowth}}'s earliest memory is being alone at [[Camp Pokéhearst]]. With no food, he was always starving and once tipped over a basket of baseballs believing it was food. As punishment for tipping the basket over, the baseball coach hung him from a tree; from this tree, he was able to see a movie called ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|That Darn Meowth!}}'', which depicted a Meowth in [[Hollywood]] being given delicious food by its family. Meowth instantly decided to go to Hollywood, which he believed would be a paradise.<br /> [[File:Meowth and Meowzie.png|thumb|220px|left|Meowth upon meeting Meowzie]]<br /> However, when he arrived in Hollywood, he was merely perceived as a stray Pokémon, and was constantly being chased for stealing food. Soon, a Meowth gang, led by a {{p|Persian}}, took him in. Meowth lived on the streets as a member of the gang for a long time; the gang annoyed the humans in town by stealing food and causing trouble, the town's local Butcher Shop Owner in particular. One day, Meowth came across a female Meowth named [[Meowzie]]. She rejected him, saying that he was poor and that she preferred [[human]]s, so Meowth attempted to make himself more human-like to make her love him. Thus, he painstakingly taught himself to speak human language and walk upright like a human. When he approached her after this transformation, she once again rejected him, calling him a freak. Heartbroken, Meowth remembered the first human word he understood—&quot;rocket&quot;—and was inspired to join Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', Meowth stated that he was {{an|Giovanni}}'s &quot;Top Cat&quot; in front of Giovanni with no objection (while noticing that {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} was now in that position). In ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'', however, he was shown to have been present at [[Team Rocket HQ]] for a short time, during which it is revealed that Persian is already there. During this time, Meowth became a servant to Giovanni, bringing him food and drinks; however, he was unsuccessful at this task because he tripped over a wire, spilled Giovanni's coffee, and got himself shocked. Giovanni didn't appear to be angry, but he assigned Meowth to [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s team.<br /> <br /> =====[[Original series]]=====<br /> ======Kanto======<br /> [[File:Team Rocket Meowth Earlier Design.png|thumb|left|220px|Meowth as seen in his debut episode]]<br /> Meowth made his debut in the anime in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. Alongside Jessie and James, they set their sights on the injured Pokémon in the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. As the two sent out their {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], they quickly overtook the Pokémon Center, which only had [[Nurse Joy]], {{Ash}}, and {{an|Misty}} inside. Before they could steal any of the Pokémon, however, [[Ash's Pikachu]], who teamed up with many other {{p|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon Center, used an electric attack, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode. It was here that {{TRT}} vowed to capture Pikachu, deeming Ash's one as an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, making it their lifelong goal to capture him.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', after hearing that Pikachu would fight to defend his own honor and Ash's, the trio were inspired to cheer on Pikachu before his rematch against {{gy|Vermilion}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', the Team Rocket trio worked together with other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s to steal the Pokémon of all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s on board the [[S.S. Anne]]. Out on the open ocean, Team Rocket began taking the Pokémon of everyone by force. Ash led a counterattack against the Rockets, leading to a large battle and many of the members of Team Rocket being blasted off through the side of the ship. Afterwards, the S.S. Anne started taking on water and sunk, trapping Team Rocket, Ash, and his friends underwater. [[EP016|When the two groups met up]], they initially fought, but Misty took charge and directed all of them in an emergency escape plan before the ship fell into the depths of the sea floor. They eventually found an exit, with Team Rocket nearly drowning due to having to rely on [[James's Magikarp]] to swim them to safety. After getting stranded, Magikarp evolved into {{p|Gyarados}} and sent them all flying with a cyclone made from {{m|Dragon Rage}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', following the events of the last episode, Team Rocket was swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]]. Meowth, Ekans, and Koffing were separated from Jessie and James in the chaos and landed on another part of the island. When Meowth found Pikachu without Ash, he ordered Koffing and Ekans to attack Pikachu, but they refused since Meowth was not their actual master. The following day, the trio found their way back to Jessie and James.<br /> [[File:Meowth Togepi Egg.png|thumb|220px|Meowth caring for Togepi's Egg]]<br /> In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', Meowth fell in love with a girl named [[Cassandra]] after she nursed him back to health. Meowth later tried to repay her by helping her {{p|Paras}} evolve. He, along with Arbok and Weezing, faked losing against Paras to fire it up. This boost in confidence allowed it to defeat [[Ash's Charmeleon]], though the Flame Pokémon went out of control and attacked the trio before he could be stopped. Meowth later asked Cassandra to become the company mascot, but was rejected when {{OBP|Lacy|EP044|her grandmother}} found a Persian to take the role.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', Meowth bonded with Ash's {{pkmn|Egg}} after the trio stole it. Ash and his friends later find them and fight for it, and during the squabble the egg hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Unable to decide who should raise it, Meowth, Ash, Misty, and Brock decide to battle for it. Meowth's first match was against [[Brock's Onix]], which Meowth was able to defeat by dumping buckets of water onto the Rock Snake Pokémon. Brock called him out for cheating, which Meowth countered by claiming it was his right to be a protective parent unhindered. He later battled Ash's Pikachu, which was cut short by one Thunderbolt from Pikachu. Meowth, charred to a crisp and sobbing, had to be dragged away by Jessie and James. In the end, Togepi chose to stay with Misty.<br /> [[File:Meowth defeating leader Persian.png|thumb|left|220px|The Persian leader being defeated by Meowth]]<br /> Jessie used Meowth during the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]] in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', though his lack of battle skills made him fairly useless.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James attempted another ploy to kidnap Pikachu, but ended up with a boy named {{OBP|Timmy|EP053}}. Realizing they could trick the kid, Jessie and James put on an act to look like they wanted to hurt Timmy. Meowth &quot;stopped them&quot; with Fury Swipes and ran back to the school with Timmy where Pikachu waited. The plan backfired, however, when Meowth accidentally spoke in front of Misty, forcing him to flee.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP063|The Battle Of The Badge]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James were made the temporary [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Giovanni's place. Having rigged the platforms so that the Trainer feels the pain their Pokémon feels, they battled against Ash. Despite using Giovanni's Pokémon and cheating, they ultimately lost and were sent blasting off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James returned to Hollywood while following Ash. While there, Meowth was reunited with Meowzie, who had since been abandoned by her mistress and was forced to join the gang of street Meowth. Meowth fought his former Persian leader to win Meowzie's love, and won, but Meowzie demonstrated that her loyalty was with Persian since he took care of her when she needed it (in addition to calling him a ''walking talking freak Meowth''). Meowth was, once again, left heartbroken.<br /> <br /> ======Orange Archipelago======<br /> The Team Rocket trio [[EP081|continued to follow]] Ash to the [[Orange Islands]], where they were ordered by Giovanni to operate a blimp in an attempt to get rid of them. The three performed their duty as wait staff before realizing no one was piloting the blimp, and because of this it drifted straight into a storm. They then found Ash and friends and started a battle, which tore a hole in the blimp. Meowth attempted to make a parachute from some of the broken fabric, but {{an|Jigglypuff}} landed on top of it and{{m|Sing|sang a song}}. Meowth, unable to stay awake, let go of the fabric, causing the trio to fall into the ocean and drift away.<br /> [[File:EP104.png|thumb|220px|Meowth stuck with Pikachu]]<br /> In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Meowth was put under the hypnotism of [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} and forced to attack Jessie and James. He was later freed by Ash and Pikachu.<br /> <br /> Because of the effort Meowth exerted while learning to speak and walk like a human, he has not learned the [[signature move]] of his species, {{m|Pay Day}}. In ''[[EP096|Meowth Rules!]]'', Meowth was worshiped by an island of people who believed that he could bring them riches with Pay Day. When he was caught in a battle meant to induce Pay Day, Jessie and James had to secretly bail him out by throwing the last of their spare change and some of James's prized bottle caps in order to appease the islanders.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'', Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and James. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty, and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first and separated them from each other.<br /> <br /> After Jessie fell ill from inhaling {{p|Vileplume}} {{m|Stun Spore}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'', Meowth and James attempted to find [[Salveyo weed]]. However, they had to contend with Misty and her newly befriended {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, also on a mission to heal her friends, for the rare medicinal plant. Despite their antics, Misty later gave them some Salveyo weed.<br /> <br /> ======Johto======<br /> [[File:Meowth and Snubbull.png|thumb|220px|left|Snubbull biting Meowth's tail]]<br /> In ''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]'', a [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull|Snubbull]] took interest in Meowth's tail, which they used to their advantage to lure the Fairy Pokémon to them. The plan ended up failing when they were found by Ash and his friends, but, unbeknownst to them, Snubbull followed the trio to stay with Meowth. Snubbull returned in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', biting down onto Meowth. The trio identified it as the same one and decided to keep it. Meowth demanded they pick him or the Snubbull, which backfired when his teammates happily welcomed Snubbull to the group. Dejected, Meowth left, though they later reconnected.<br /> <br /> Meowth dressed up as a {{p|Sunflora}} for the first time in ''[[EP135|Grin to Win!]]'', where he entered the [[Sunflora Festival]]. He repeated the costume in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', where he and Jessie entered the [[Grass Tournament]]. He did surprisingly well against [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] with his Fury Swipes, but ended up being eliminated when his disguise was shredded by {{m|Razor Leaf}}.<br /> [[File:Team Rocket Disguise EP135.png|thumb|220px|Meowth dressed as a Sunflora]]<br /> In ''[[EP175|The Trouble with Snubbull]]'', Team Rocket first tried using Meowth as bait for a newly evolved {{TP|Madame Muchmoney|Granbull}} so they could collect a reward from the Granbull's owner, [[Madame Muchmoney]]. This failed, and they subsequently used a Meowth-shaped mecha for their next attempt. Through a misunderstanding over Meowth trying to release Granbull from the mecha's tail, Team Rocket were mistakenly assumed to have tricked Madame Muchmoney. When Team Rocket was blasted off following a battle between the mecha and Granbull, Granbull returned home and no longer followed Meowth.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', Meowth met [[Simon]], a man who claimed to be able to speak with Pokémon. Although uncertain of his abilities when he failed to understand his conversation with Pikachu, he later came to respect his talent and helped save him when he was kidnapped by the [[Phony Pokémon interpreters]]. Later, Meowth staged a fake talking Pokémon encounter with Simon in order to encourage him to continue his operation.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]'', Meowth was separated from Jessie and James during an encounter with Ash and his friends. He ended up being taken to a Pokémon oasis, where he was treated by a {{p|Miltank}}. When Jessie and James later arrived, Meowth pleaded with them to leave, as the oasis did not welcome humans. Meowth convinced Team Rocket's Pokémon to not attack and tried his best to free Miltank after it was caught in a net by James, but was restrained by his teammates. Thankfully, Ash's Pokémon were able to stop Jessie and James and send them blasting off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'', Meowth befriended a {{p|Pidgey}} by the name of [[Orville]], who he sympathized with after he overheard Orville's plan of flying towards the sun. He gave the Tiny Bird Pokémon a headset so they could keep in contact during his flight. With support from Meowth, Orville was able to breach the outer atmosphere and achieve his dream.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', the Team Rocket trio learned they'd been disbanded from Team Rocket for unpaid dues. However, a [[Rocket Scout]] informed them she could get them back in if they prove themselves to her by defeating Ash and his friends. The three begged to borrow her {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} to help them, which she agreed to. Even with the support, they failed to complete the mission, but were reinstated anyway due to a labor shortage. Their signing bonus helped pay off their bills, but the Rocket Scout informed them Delibird would be following them to make sure it didn't happen again. By ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', Delibird stopped following them, satisfied with the money they earned during the [[Silver Conference]].<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====<br /> ======Hoenn======<br /> [[File:Boss fantasy EP104.png|thumb|220px|left|One of Meowth's boss fantasies]]<br /> The trio continued to follow Ash to [[Hoenn]]. It was during this time that Meowth also started having frequent [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] about presenting Giovanni with various Pokémon. These fantasies often involve whatever creature it happens to be assisting Giovanni in his daily routine.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', Team Rocket took on [[Rico]], a [[Pokémon poacher]] who had captured a herd of {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} in [[Petalburg Woods]]. Eventually, James and Jessie reluctantly ordered Weezing and Arbok to stay in the wild and guard the young Ekans and Koffing while they and Meowth stalled for time by battling Rico's {{p|Tyranitar}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG029|Ready, Willing, and Sableye]]'', Meowth found himself lost in a mine and teamed up with a prankster {{p|Sableye}} to play tricks on Ash and his friends. After a few pranks, Meowth convinced the Sableye to help him kidnap Pikachu and [[Ash's Corphish]], after which he escaped with Jessie and James. They were stopped by the twerps and Sableye, who sent them blasting off.<br /> [[File:Jessie Meowth Pacifidlog Contest.png|thumb|220px|Meowth in his first Contest]]<br /> In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this and tricked Pikachu into joining them. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash jumped on their balloon, and the trio ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt. This caused them to get blasted off, while Ash and Pikachu fell into a river. As Ash protected him, Pikachu managed to regain his memory and got rid of Team Rocket once again.<br /> <br /> Upon learning of his species' love for gathering coins and shiny objects from Ash's [[Pokédex]] in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'', Jessie criticized him for not doing so.<br /> <br /> Jessie, disguised as &quot;The Jester&quot;, used Meowth in the {{to|Pacifidlog}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. In the Appeals Round, he created an ice sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}}, [[Giovanni's Persian|his Persian]], and himself. [[AG116|During]] his [[Contest Battle]] against [[Erica]]'s {{p|Jynx}}, he used &quot;{{m|Transform}}&quot; by using the pouch attached to his belly. He transformed into a {{p|Sunflora}} first, using {{m|Razor Leaf}} against Jynx. Later, he transformed into a {{p|Kirlia}} and again into a {{p|Wailord}}. He popped the inflatable Wailord with his claws and Jessie was eventually disqualified.<br /> <br /> ======Battle Frontier======<br /> In ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', Meowth overheard [[Edna]]'s tragic backstory and how she lost her husband, {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}}, in the past. He headed to the train station where she last saw him to think it over and in the process ran into {{an|May}}. Her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} then found Edna's lost locket. The locket emitted a mysterious light and enveloped the three. They soon realized they'd been transported [[Time travel|back in time]] to when Edna's husband was about to make his departure. Working together, they delayed the train long enough for Edna to catch up to Jonathan and stop him from leaving. They then returned to the present, and due to their actions, found the couple living happily together.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', Meowth entered [[Potpourri Island]]'s [[Pokémon Orienteering]] with Jessie. The duo had trouble finding the checkpoints and decided to drop out of the competition. They planned on letting James and his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} collect the five stamps, thinking James would share the sample of [[Berry|fruit]] prize with them. To assure James's victory, they dug several pitfall traps throughout the island so as to slow down the other contestants. When James was declared the winner, they were certain they would get to eat some fruit. However, James was more interested in the Pokémon Teamwork Medal and he agreed to donate the fruit after [[Nurse Joy]] asked him to, much to their disappointment.<br /> [[File:AG176.png|thumb|220px|Meowth's temporary separation from Team Rocket]]<br /> In ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day!]]'', Meowth, along with Mime Jr., Pikachu, and [[Brock's Bonsly]], were blasted off after an encounter with Ash and his friends. After landing somewhere in the nearby town, the group was chased by three men in black suits. Escaping them a few times, they stumbled upon a casting crew, where it was revealed that a Bonsly and Mime Jr. had gone missing from the set. With no other choice, the {{OBP|Director|AG165}} decided to cast the two. Jessie and James, having found Meowth, interrupted the filming, causing a fight to break out. Mime Jr. and Bonsly attacked each other, and the battle was captured by the camera. The strange turn of events ended up satisfying the Director, who wrapped up the filming.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[AG172|2]]'', the trio head about a {{an|Deoxys}} and set their sights on capturing it. However, Meowth ended up being possessed and used as the DNA Pokémon's translator. He and {{an|Max}} were then taken to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|another dimension]], where Deoxys explained it was scared during the space flight and felt lonely. Ash and his friends later arrived and battled Deoxys, causing friction in the alternate dimension. With help from Jessie and May, Meowth and Max were able to escape. Deoxys possessed Meowth one last time to thank Max for everything before flying away, wanting to explore the planet even more.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'', following a failed attempt of getting Ash's Pikachu, Meowth separated with Jessie and James. He later got involved in a Team Rocket scheme and met up with the two again, where he was the first to stop their arguing and remind them of the good times they had together. The three quickly reunited and became a team again.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====<br /> [[File:Dress Up Contest Meowth.png|thumb|220px|left|Meowth dressed as a Weavile in the Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]<br /> In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', Giovanni approved the trio's plans to set up a Team Rocket branch in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Meowth and Jessie entered in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]]. During the event, Meowth was seen dressed as a {{p|Weavile}}, earning him perfect marks. In the second round, Meowth noticed the prize, an {{pkmn|Egg}}, was unguarded, and he and Jessie abandon the competition to steal it, greatly upsetting James.<br /> <br /> The trio were hired by [[Team Galactic]] to steal the [[Adamant Orb]] from the [[Eterna Historical Museum]] in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.  Team Rocket successfully made the theft, framing [[Nando]] in the process, but ultimately failed to get away with the orb.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', the trio argued with Butch and Cassidy over who would steal a {{p|Hippowdon}}. Their constant bickering made it easy for Ash and his friends to save the Heavyweight Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'', Jessie and James dressed Meowth up in a {{p|Croagunk}} costume and entered him in the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival]]. Meowth was thoroughly embarrassed, but the crowd and judges went wild for his appearance. In the brick-breaking contest, Meowth charged the pile of bricks, but since he couldn't learn {{m|Brick Break}}, the only thing he broke was his paw. Out of the festival, the trio settled for stealing the Croagunk. They were stopped by [[Nurse Joy]]'s Croagunk, Chrissy.<br /> [[File:Meowth noodles.png|thumb|220px|Working at Christopher's ramen shop]]<br /> In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', Meowth was separated from Jessie and James during an explosion and landed with Pikachu. Devising a plan to later kidnap him, he told Pikachu he no longer wanted to be with Team Rocket and wanted to instead travel with the twerps. Pikachu remained suspicious, which forced Meowth to run from Jessie and James when he found them. As the ruse continued, Meowth started to consider leaving and, following a suggestion to become a television personality, headed to the [[Pokémon Center]] to get in contact with [[Sinnoh Now]] host {{si|Rhonda}}. Along the way, however, the group falls into one of Team Rocket's pitfall traps. As the two groups battled, Meowth remembered his times with his friends and attacked [[Barry's Empoleon]] with Fury Swipes, claiming his heart always belonged to Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', {{OBP|Christopher|DP117}}, a former Team Rocket member and the owner of the ramen shop, saw Meowth use {{m|Fury Swipes}} to slice dough to make ramen and asked him to work in his restaurant as a noodle maker. After some thought, which included reflecting back on previous failures and the lack of appreciation and respect from Jessie and James, Meowth quit the Team Rocket Trio and accepted the offer. However, he eventually rejoined the group after hearing that James and Jessie were in danger.<br /> [[File:Jessilina and Meowth.png|thumb|250px|left|Meowth in the Lilypad Contest]]<br /> In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Jessie and Meowth were competing against another {{pkmn|Trainer}} and his {{p|Marowak}}. Although Jessie complained that Marowak's [[Thick Club]] would put her and Meowth at a huge disadvantage, the match continued. However, they were immediately disqualified from the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]], because Meowth accidentally sliced the ball with his Fury Swipes, instead of hitting it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', James disguised himself as Jessilina due to Jessie being sick. Meowth, following his promise in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', was used during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]], where he used his talent for slicing ramen noodles. The two then gave the [[Contest Judge|judges]] the ramen to taste, which was declared to be of excellent quality. The performance was impressive enough to advance Jessilina to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. Upon seeing the appeal on [[Television|TV]], Christopher became very proud.<br /> <br /> Meowth fell in love with a {{p|Glameow}} in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''. Determined to stay with his love, he convinced his teammates to steal it, which backfired when the two decided to send it to Giovanni. Late at night, Meowth left a note saying he resigned and was leaving to start a new life with Glameow. He took Glameow away by boat, hoping to woo it, but the cat remained skeptical of Meowth's intentions. The next day, Meowth was found by his former team and the twerps, who were determined to take Glameow away from him. Using his &quot;Fury Swipes of Love&quot;, Meowth defeated several of the group's Pokémon. However, after [[James's Carnivine]] managed to hit Glameow with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, it evolved into {{p|Purugly}}. Along with becoming much larger, Purugly developed a bossy personality and started to order Meowth about, as well as squishing him with its larger body. Meowth, in shock, lost interest in Purugly and was quickly defeated. He then allowed Purugly to return to [[Mamie|its Trainer]].<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''=====<br /> ======Unova======<br /> [[File:Meowth BW anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Meowth as seen in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]'']]<br /> Meowth, Jessie, and James were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow Jessie's and James's other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. This, however, made Meowth think of what would happen to him. Throughout most of the series, Meowth and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always failing in their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. In Unova, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in their work, as he had when first introduced, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before, using ingenious methods of escape and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat. He has also demonstrated better battling skills, being agile enough to land on his feet when blown back by Ash's {{TP|Ash|Pidove}}'s {{m|Gust}}, and unlike before, does not horribly injure himself in battle.<br /> <br /> The trio completed multiple missions for Giovanni in the early episodes of this series, with their first mission coming in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''. After arriving in [[Striaton City]], Giovanni ordered them to visit a former laboratory located at the nearby [[Dreamyard]], where they were tasked to take control of the area's mysterious ‘Future Energy'. [[BW006|They arrive]] and assemble a machine to collect data to be sent back to headquarters, though the machine ended up alerting Ash, his friends, and [[Officer Jenny]] of their plan. The machine is destroyed, but not before they transmitted the data back to HQ for analysis.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is On Axew!]]'', Giovanni instructed the trio to head to the [[Desert Resort]] and meet up with another Team Rocket agent to investigate a [[Meteonite|meteorite fragment]] located there. [[BW010|Upon arriving]] at the meetup location, the trio were surrounded by the police. As Officer Jenny prepared to arrest them, the agent-[[Pierce]]-arrived and rescued them. As they escaped, Pierce handed a briefcase to James with vital information.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW011|A Home for Dwebble!]]'', the trio succeeded in their mission to steal data concerning the Meteonite from the [[Antimony Research Lab]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', the trio was given a mission to break into the [[Nacrene Museum]] and swap out a fake meteorite with the real one, which they accomplished in the [[BW015|next episode]], and [[BW017|later]] handed it off to [[Dr. Zager]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', they located the Meteonite in the Desert Resort. This would be their final mission from Giovanni, and after this they were advised to act on their own in the best interest of Team Rocket. The three decided to focus on what they do best-trying to capture Ash's Pikachu.<br /> [[File:Iris catching Meowth attempt.png|thumb|250px|Meowth almost getting caught by Iris]]<br /> In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', while in [[Nimbasa City]], Team Rocket prepared to put their latest plan into action. Later, in the next episode, ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found injured by Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}. While recovering, Meowth explained that while in Nimbasa City, he had botched up Team Rocket's scheme badly and was fired by Giovanni, leading to Jessie and James turning their backs on him. Later, [[Iris's Axew]] was kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}, who wanted Axew's help to get its home back from a {{p|Mandibuzz}}. Using his ability to speak to both Pokémon and humans, Meowth not only helped get Axew back but also helped Scrafty get its home back and helped Mandibuzz return to her original nest.<br /> <br /> Afterwards, Meowth decided to travel with Ash and his friends, only for Iris to attempt to capture him in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The capture nearly succeeded but Meowth broke out and told her he was going to help her regardless. Ever since, it seems to have become a running gag that he ends up in a Poké Ball at one point in an episode, as Iris tried twice (one of which was because Meowth didn't want a {{p|Purrloin}} to get caught), and by {{OBP|Cliff|BW046}}. However, in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'', it was revealed that Meowth's being fired was fake and all just one of Team Rocket's schemes to steal all the Pokémon from Nimbasa City's Pokémon Center.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', [[BW057|after]] [[BW058|destroying]] the shrines of {{an|Forces of Nature|Tornadus}} and {{an|Forces of Nature|Thundurus}}, Team Rocket tried to capture the Forces of Nature, but were thwarted by Ash and his friends.<br /> [[File:Team Rocket saving Giovanni.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Rocket saving Giovanni]]<br /> In ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'', the trio were given a mission by Dr. Zager to obtain a [[Cover Fossil]] inside [[Twist Mountain]], which would be used to open a time gate to steal countless [[Fossil]] Pokémon from the past.  Once they stole one from [[Ferris]], they retreated to Dr. Zager's helicopter. The Cover Fossil was successfully revived into a {{p|Tirtouga}}, but it escaped from the group. Team Rocket chased it down-where it evolved into a {{p|Carracosta}}-and held it down in front of the Time Gate. As they were about to pass through the gate, Ash and his friends arrived to stop them. This, along with Carracosta from the past, forced Team Rocket to flee emptyhanded.<br /> <br /> The trio reappeared in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', where they tried to capture a {{an|Meloetta}} for a future job: Operation<br /> Tempest. The plan continued in ''[[BW085| All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', where they were able to injure Meloetta before it was found by Ash and {{an|Cynthia}}. In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', the operation began in full, with the trio capturing Ash, Pikachu, and Meloetta and bringing them to the [[Abyssal Ruins]].<br /> <br /> Once there, Giovanni used Meloetta's song to summon the [[Reveal Glass]] and the Forces of Nature. During the battle, Giovanni possessed by the Reveal Glass, and Meowth, Jessie, and James jumped in and removed him from its influence. He then ordered a full retreat from the Unova region, with the trio joining him.<br /> <br /> He, along with Jessie and James, returned to Unova starting in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', where they set their goals on Pikachu once again.<br /> [[File:Meowth under Colress control.png|thumb|250px|Meowth under Colress's control]]<br /> In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', the Team Rocket trio invaded [[Colress]]'s newest laboratory and drew his security into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', the extension of his battling skill was shown again; he took on multiple opponents, including several of [[Team Plasma]]'s {{p|Liepard}}.<br /> <br /> ======Decolore Islands======<br /> In ''[[BW124|Danger, Sweet as Honey!]]'', Meowth was separated from Jessie and James, getting stuck with Pikachu, [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Iris's Axew]]. During their journey to find their friends, Meowth formed a connection with the three, and upon returning to their separate groups, Meowth was unable to join in Jessie and James's attack due to the bonds he formed.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW126|Crowning the Scalchop King!]]'', Meowth, disguised as a {{p|Dewott}}, entered the [[Scalchop King Competition]]. He was able to make it through a few rounds before his costume was destroyed and he was eliminated.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', Meowth entered the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]] disguised as a {{p|Golem}}. He was easily pushed out of the ring by a {{p|Golurk}} and sent blasting off with Jessie and James.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====<br /> Meowth continued to travel with Jessie and James through Kalos in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Giovanni approved the trio's plan to steal as many rare and powerful Pokémon as they could in [[Kalos]].<br /> [[File:Meowth confronting evil Malamar.png|thumb|left|250px|Meowth confronting the evil Malamar]]<br /> In ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]'', Meowth, along with Jessie and James, encountered an evil {{an|Malamar}}, who managed to take control of Jessie and James, as well as their Pokémon, but Meowth used Fury Swipes on himself to endure the hypnotizing. After escaping, Meowth encountered Ash and his friends and warned them of the Malamar. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of Ash's group by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Meowth, Ash and his friends arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. Meowth and Ash managed to endure it by once again using Fury Swipes on their faces to keep focus. The [[Clemontic Gear|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Meowth translated Malamar's evil ambitions of conquering the world as part of an evil grand design to Ash and company and tried to stop it from doing so. But unfortunately for them, Malamar escaped. As Team Rocket recuperated from their ordeal with Malamar, Meowth revealed them that Malamar is the [[Evolution|evolved]] form of {{p|Inkay}}, causing them to react nervously when they looked at [[James's Inkay]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY023|Coming Back Into the Cold!]]'', Meowth tried to stop Serena, Bonnie, and [[Alexa]] from rescuing an {{p|Amaura}} that he stole alongside Jessie and James, even showing off his prehensile strategy of using Fury Swipes to block [[Serena's Fennekin]]'s {{m|Hidden Power}}. However, the parent {{p|Aurorus}} appeared in front of Meowth and froze him with {{m|Blizzard}}, allowing the three heroes to save Amaura.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', the Team Rocket trio entered the [[Poké Puff Contest]]. After failing the preliminary round, the three decided to instead steal all the food and Pokémon at the event. They are stopped by a combined attack from the twerps Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', Team Rocket, Ash, his friends, and [[Officer Jenny]] faced the evil Malamar from before. Meowth was scared of Inkay again because Inkay evolves into Malamar. They followed Inkay and met the evil Malamar again, who had now two Malamar allies. Clemont, Meowth, and James managed to escape, but the evil Malamar held Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Bonnie, Jessie, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and Officer Jenny with {{m|Psychic}}. However, thanks to the combined forces of the good Malamar and Inkay from the forest below [[Grace Tower]], they managed to stop the evil Malamar, rescue everyone and save the world from certain destruction. But the evil Malamar escaped into the future, swearing to fight again and their grand design will succeed someday once they return.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', Meowth became tethered to Bonnie after a failed attempt to capture the twerps Pokémon. The two bickered at first, but were eventually able to cooperate and later separate.<br /> [[File:XY079.png|thumb|250px|Meowth battling Pikachu in the Poké Ball Factory]]<br /> In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Team Rocket staged an ambush for Ash and his friends, tricking the heroes into giving them their Pokémon in their [[Poké Ball]]s before trapping them. However, after stealing some freshly made Poké Balls, the group discovered that Pikachu was still free. Meowth then chased Pikachu throughout the [[Poké Ball Factory]], attempting to [[recall]] the Mouse Pokémon into his Poké Ball. Failing to do so, Team Rocket attempted to escape with their stash of stolen Poké Balls in their getaway van, but got stopped in their tracks by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Meowth then challenged Pikachu to a duel, wagering Ash and his friends's Poké Balls, while at the same time trying to recall Pikachu again. However, the Scratch Cat Pokémon was defeated again by his enemy before being blasting off with the rest of his team.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', he performed with Jessie and {{p|Wobbuffet}} in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]]. They lost but they made it to the performing round.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', Meowth appeared with [[Jessie|other]] [[James|members]] of his group, apparently unable to sleep due to the loud snoring of Jessie and James, but successfully did so after putting in earplugs and counting {{p|Mareep}}. Later it woke up in a nightmare of [[Squishy]], caused by a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{a|Bad Dreams}}. He later woke up due to Clemont's alarm clock exploding. Meowth then returned to Jessie and James and explained his strange dream. James, however, claimed that Meowth has been working too much and is starting to hallucinate, and Jessie suggested that Meowth should go back to sleep, but the Normal-type Pokémon decided that he's never going to sleep again, because he didn't want that dream again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', he and his teammates reached [[Couriway Town]] and witnessed the Showcase venue. Later they sneaked up in the Showcase premises to learn the theme of the Theme Performance so that Jessie might prepare before hand. When Jessie revealed a sheet with an abstract drawing on it she stole rather hastily due to Meowth setting up the alarm, he deduced that Theme Performance is about fashion and making hats. However his intuition is proved wrong when they learn that the theme actually revolves around [[Poké Puff]] baking. Later, in Jessilee's performance, the Scratch Cat Pokémon was seen giving a 'paw massage' to the dough and later imprinted his charm on the Poké Puff. He then ended his part by using {{m|Fury Swipes}} to spread chocolate syrup on the Poké Puff. When the Showcase ended and Jessie is awarded the Princess Key, he was seen crying, happy that Jessie managed to win the Princess Key.<br /> [[File:XY107.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Rocket trying to stop Team Flare from taking Z2]]<br /> In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James were seen contacting Giovanni and informed them about [[Team Flare]] and [[Squishy|a powerful Pokémon which can exhibit various Formes]]. Intrigued, Giovanni assigned them with the task to catch the {{p|Zygarde|Pokémon}}. As the trio searched for Squishy, they met up with [[Z2|another Pokémon resembling Squishy but having a blue core]] and Team Flare scientists [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]]. After James's Inkay successfully damaged the device which was used by Team Flare to catch Z2, Jessie sent out her Gourgeist to attack [[Mable#Weavile|Mable's Weavile]] and [[Aliana#Druddigon|Aliana's Druddigon]] with {{m|Seed Bomb}}, which created smoke, successfully allowing Team Rocket to flee with Z2. She and her teammates were confronted once again by Team Flare, but despite putting up a good fight, her Gourgeist ended up being knocked out. Later, they witnessed Z2 transform into its 50% Forme to fight against Team Flare's Pokémon and later [[Alain's Charizard]]. When the Order Pokémon lost, she along with her teammates jumped in front of Z2 to rescue it from Team Flare but ended up being blasted off by Mable's {{p|Weavile}} and Aliana's {{p|Druddigon}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'', Meowth first appeared praising Jessie, who had entered the [[Gloire City]] Pokémon Showcase Master Class, as the future Kalos Queen. During the first round, he was seen with Wobbuffet in the waiting room, cheering on Jessilee as she performed with her {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}. He was Jessie's partner Pokémon in the quarter finals and semi-finals (along with {{p|Gourgeist}}). When Jessie lost the semi-finals, he and Gourgeist held on to each other, fearing Jessie's anger, but their fears were unfounded, as she seemed pretty delighted at her performance in the Master Class, happy that Kalos could see her beauty. When the Master Class was over, he, along with James, Inkay, Gourgeist, and Wobbuffet, were seen walking behind a silent Jessie through Gloire City, fearing her wrath on losing. However, she shrugged their fears and decided that she just wanted to give them a feast for supporting her, which caused them to be overjoyed and jump over her; Jessie then angrily declared that the feast shall be financed by James.<br /> <br /> He along with his teammates and Jessie's Wobbuffet worked as [[Malva]]'s assistants during the [[Lumiose Conference]] from ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' to ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', with the aim of earning money and capturing any strong Pokémon in the [[Lumiose Conference|Kalos League]]. However, they were not very pleased with their job and felt that they were over-working; despite this, they did not quit their jobs. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', they made it a point to steal the two finalists' Pokémon, Ash and [[Alain]]'s, after the battle, but could not execute their plan due to [[Team Flare]] wreaking havoc in [[Lumiose City]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', he, in disguise of a news reporter, set out with his teammates, Serena, [[Mairin]] and {{an|Professor Sycamore}} towards [[Lysandre Labs]] in an attempt to take over the base and bring Team Flare down. In [[XY135|the next episode]], he fled the building after the [[Giant Rock]] transformed into a Zygarde, along with his teammates, on their helicopter. He was in-charge of shooting footage of the entire incident surrounding the Rock as he followed it on their helicopter on its way towards [[Anistar City]], and like his teammates, was utterly surprised to see the seven [[Gym Leader]]s and Kalos {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Diantha]] arrive on the scene to deal with the Giant Rock.<br /> <br /> After the disaster, he and his teammates claimed sole credit for defeating Team Flare to Giovanni.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''=====<br /> [[File:Bewear rescuing Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket and Bewear]]<br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', the trio arrived in the [[Alola]] region to obtain some rare Alolan Pokémon for Giovanni. The first Pokémon they encountered was a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} on [[Melemele Island]]. After being scared by it, Meowth was the first to ascertain that it was not actually a {{p|Pikachu}}. He also refused to translate what Mimikyu was saying, determining it to be too scary. Since Jessie and James had left Gourgeist and Inkay at headquarters before going to Alola, Jessie threw Meowth at Mimikyu to try to capture it. Fury Swipes had no effect on it. Meowth then tried to remove its Pikachu costume. But when it looked within, Meowth was badly hexed, and fell unconscious. He had a vision of walking down a long tunnel, then ran into a light, finding visions of {{p|Glaceon}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, and {{p|Lopunny}} calling for him. They turned out to be projections cast by {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}}, and {{p|Gengar}}. Everything disappeared, and he fell into an abyss.<br /> <br /> In the real world, Jessie and James dumped water on Meowth, reviving him. After relating his apparent near-death experience, he blamed Mimikyu for it. They hid from the approaching {{Ash}} and his classmates from the [[Pokémon School]]. When Mimikyu battled Pikachu hard, Team Rocket decided to attempt to capture it, and stepped in to stop Ash. When Pikachu threw an {{m|Electro Ball}} at Meowth, Mimikyu used {{m|Shadow Ball}} to deflect it, aligning itself with Team Rocket. Before they could fight again, however, a {{an|Bewear}} stepped in and carried Jessie and James off. Meowth got Mimikyu to disengage from Pikachu so they could chase the {{p|Bewear}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Bewear looked after the trio, giving them food and shelter at her {{TP|Bewear|den}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'', Meowth participated in a battle against Ash, and, working with his teammates, was finally able to gain the upper-hand by {{status|poisoning}} his {{AP|Rowlet}} and dealing serious damage to Pikachu. As Mimikyu was about to launch one final attack, Bewear suddenly appeared from the water and took Team Rocket away with her.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', Meowth and Wobbuffet teamed up inside of a Bewear robot to compete in the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. Using the rocket thrusters, they shot towards the finish line, but were grabbed by Bewear right before winning.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Meowth attempted to catch Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]], who had been separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, but was defeated by a wild {{AP|Litten}}. Later, when {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, and {{p|Popplio}} were caught by Team Rocket, Meowth invited Litten to join them. The Fire Cat Pokémon apparently agreed, but it turned out to be a ruse to get itself and the other two free. Afterwards, they sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', the trio completed their secret base in Bewear's den.<br /> [[File:Meowth and Litten.png|thumb|250px|left|Meowth worried about Litten]]<br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Meowth became worried for Litten after its caretaker {{an|Stoutland}} came down with an illness. Later, he came across Ash and told him to protect Litten. Following {{p|Stoutland}}'s disappearance, Meowth visited Litten to try and get it to talk before leaving when Ash approached. Meowth later watched as Ash caught Litten, claiming that it was for the best, even though it turned them into enemies.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', the trio, upon learning about [[Z-Move]]s, began their search for a [[Z-Ring]]. They discovered a [[Darkinium Z]] in a nest of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}, led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Raticate, and attempted to retrieve it. However, they were intercepted by members of [[Team Skull]], who were after the same Z-Crystal. Ultimately, after a clash with the other team, and with the Totem Pokémon, the trio obtained the Z-Crystal for themselves.<br /> <br /> Meowth competed in the in [[Charjabug race]] in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]''. He hid inside a fake {{p|Charjabug}} racer, making it past the first pit stop before accidentally getting ejected and disqualified. In ''[[SM119|A High-Speed Awakening!]]'', he competed in the [[Vikavolt race]] and captured the competing {{p|Vikavolt}} in a net. [[Horacio]] had his {{p|Vikavolt}} destroy Meowth's mecha with {{m|Charge Beam}}, with Bewear coming to the rescue moments later.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Team Rocket was revealed to have flown to Kanto as per orders from the headquarters. At the airport, the trio noticed {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} meet up with Ash and his classmates, and after eavesdropping on the group's conversation, decided to steal Pokémon off of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to present them to Giovanni. However, their attempt to steal the group's Pokémon was thwarted, and they were carried back to Alola by Bewear in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.<br /> [[File:Matori Meowth and Meowth.png|thumb|250px|Meowth with Matori's Meowth]]<br /> In ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', Meowth became upset when Jessie stole his limited-edition ice cream and ran off, upset only to fall into some mud and encountered an {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth. Jessie and James came looking for him and mistook the Alolan Meowth for him. Returning to base, he discovered the Alolan Meowth was winning over Jessie and James and ignored his warnings about not trusting it. Later, the Alolan Meowth arrived at Team Rocket Headquarters and found itself the [[Matori's Meowth|assistant]] of [[Matori]]. It later contacted Meowth, stating its intentions to replace {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} on Giovanni's lap.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', [[James's Mareanie]] learned {{m|Knock Off}}, meaning the trio finally had a move that worked with their Darkinium Z. They reported this to Giovanni and Matori, who informed them they needed a Z-Ring to use it. Giovanni told them to head to [[Ula'ula Island]] to meet [[Nanu]], an old acquaintance of his who could help them out. They later arrived on the island and ran into a {{p|Gengar}}-nicknamed Greedy Rapooh-who stole their Darkinium Z. They chased it down, with Mimikyu attacking it with Shadow Ball. Greedy Rapooh jumps from body to body possessing them; James used the distraction to retrieve the Darkinium Z. As the battle continued, Nanu arrived and gave the trio a [[Z-Power Ring]]. The Greedy Rapooh is then defeated with Mareanie's {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}. Afterwards, Jessie was given a [[Mimikium Z]] from [[Acerola]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Team Rocket acted as Ash's opponent during his {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} [[Island challenge|trial]]. Mimikyu battled Pikachu, and eventually Mimikyu used {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}, with all of Team Rocket working together to provide the Z-Power. However, Pikachu was able to survive the Z-Move when he shielded himself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. When Ash's [[Electrium Z]] turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Pikachu was able to use {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, which defeated Mimikyu.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM114|Beauty is Only Crystal Deep!]]'', Meowth fell in love with a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Pheromosa}}. Meowth helped it search for Z-Crystals in an attempt to win its affection, but became heartbroken when he realized how little it cared for him.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM122|Spying for the Big Guy!]]'', Giovanni informed the trio that he wanted them to send Bewear to him, as they had earlier stated they had caught her. They attempted to catch her before realizing it would be impossible, after which Matorni and her Meowth appeared demanding the Strong Arm Pokémon. They managed to stall by promising other strong Pokémon-namely those belonging to Ash and his friends and [[Grandpa Forest]]. Both attempts failed, and Matori settled for taking {{p|Stufful}}. Unable to let their friend be taken, the trio tricked Matori into taking Meowth disgused as Stufful. When the ruse was discovered, Matori's Meowth attacked, which summoned Bewear to the rescue.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Team Rocket received a call from HQ to return to headquarters. Unable to believe Mimikyu and Mareanie would be happy there, they released the two Pokémon before returning to Kanto.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====<br /> In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Giovanni ordered Meowth, Jessie, James, and Wobbuffet to steal strong and rare Pokémon for the organization and make Team Rocket known and feared across the world. He then promised to deliver them a new secret weapon meant to help them achieve these objectives: The [[Rocket Prize Master]]. They used it for the first time against Ash and [[Goh]], receiving a {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite the powerful Pokémon, they lost to Ash's Pikachu.<br /> <br /> Sometime prior to ''[[JN017|Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!]]'', Team Rocket was revealed to have made a secret base in [[Vermilion City]].<br /> [[File:Team Rocket Kublock Ditto.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Rocket encouraging Ditto]]<br /> In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', Team Rocket encountered a movie-star {{p|Ditto}} who'd run away due to its inability to properly {{m|Transform}} and its [[Kublock|Trainer]]'s short temper. Deciding to make Ditto a new member of Team Rocket, the group worked to teach Ditto to control its nerves and transform properly. After learning that Ditto was needed back, however, Team Rocket pretended they'd kidnapped Ditto to cover up the fact it ran away. The trio provoked Ash and Pikachu to blast them off, and with that Ditto was returned to the studio.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN024|A Little Rocket R &amp; R!]]'', Team Rocket was ordered to go on vacation to the [[Resort Area]] in [[Sinnoh]]. However, the reward was a ploy by Matori and her agents, who planned to steal many Pokémon from the Resort Area. After overhearing her insulting them, the four decided to get their revenge by helping Ash and Goh free the Pokémon. The subsequent battle quickly turned against Matori and her unit, and when [[Officer Jenny]] arrived, they retreated.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]'', the trio were sent to [[Galar]] on Giovanni's command. During the trip, the [[Darkest Day]] began, and the trio planned on using the opportunity to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}. The plan failed, however, when Meowth was hit by a beam of [[Dynamax]] energy, causing him to [[Gigantamax]]. Unable to handle the energy, he began to attack his teammates. He [[JN045|eventually]] regained control of himself and went to attack Eternatus with {{m|G-Max Gold Rush}}, but was robbed of his [[Dynamax]] energy and subsequently sent blasting off by the Gigantic Pokémon.<br /> [[File:JN106.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket's radio show]]<br /> In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Meowth lost his ability to speak his human language as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the temporal and spacial Pokémon repairs the distortions their fighting had caused and grants the Jessie and James's wish in restoring the Pokémon when Meowth started talking again, reversing the [[devolution]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and Wobbuffet met up with Butch, who was running a bakery in a quiet coastal village alongside a female Meowth. The group helped Butch run his place as repayment for a few days; then Jessie and Wobbuffet continued their Team Rocket duties while persuading Meowth to stay, as he had taken interest in Butch's Meowth. A heartbroken Meowth eventually left Butch after realizing the female Meowth was in love with a Persian.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN106|Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!]]'', Team Rocket was ordered by Giovanni to recruit new members for Team Rocket. They figured radio was the best method, and as a result started a new late-night radio show. However, after their first episode, they discovered not a single person tuned in to listen. The second episode went no better, and as a result they gave the show a major overhaul. Through many changes, Team Rocket's radio program started to become more and more popular, but along the way they forgot about the goal of recruitment. They were later scolded by Giovanni for this, though they occasionally did the show for fun.<br /> <br /> In ''[[Team Rocket Expedition which stands by the evils of love and truth]]'', Meowth briefly travels alongside Jessie and James to the [[Paldea]] region.<br /> [[File:JN145.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Rocket with all of their current Pokémon]]<br /> In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Meowth, Jessie, and James reunited with Team Rocket's Pokémon that had been residing at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. Realizing the potential of such a large group, the team hatched a scheme to isolate Ash's Pikachu and capture him. Meowth was one of the many Pokémon that waited at the end of the trap, where he ambushed an isolated Pikachu. Despite their efforts, however, Pikachu was able to evade capture, and a wild {{an|Latias}} that had been following Ash intervened and sent the evil group blasting off. Upset over the failure, the trio decided it was time to go their separate ways.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]'', he returned to the headquarters and gained a job working in the cafeteria, though the work was harder than he imagined. He [[JN147|later]] snuck out to try and steal Pikachu once again, where he unexpectedly ran into Jessie and James, who had gotten the same idea. Tired of working at the cafeteria, the Team Rocket trio rekindled their friendship and decided to work together once more. They launched their attack, snatching Pikachu in a net and reciting their motto to celebrate their reunion. [[Ash's Pidgeot]] came to Ash and Pikachu's rescue, and Pikachu delivered the usual blast-off Thunderbolt. Despite failing once again, the Team Rocket trio were happy to be together again and vowed to never give up on chasing after Pikachu as a team as they disappeared into the distance.<br /> <br /> ====Personality and characteristics====<br /> {{bulbanews|Personality &amp; Development: Meowth}}<br /> [[File:Team Rocket and Z-Power Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Meowth, Jessie, and James]]<br /> Meowth has an ambitious, conniving, and idealistic personality. He has made it his life goal to please his boss, {{an|Giovanni}}, and will stop at nothing to capture or steal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, especially [[Ash's Pikachu]], which he has been pursuing since ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''.<br /> <br /> Meowth is a characteristically jealous individual, particularly towards other cat Pokémon such as [[Giovanni's Persian]] and [[Matori]]'s own {{TP|Matori|Meowth}}. He often clashes with them because they are equally as smug and conniving as he. Many of his personality traits are typical for other Meowth, where they have an affinity for affection, but he has an eye for sparkling objects. Unlike most other Pokémon, who are not truly evil and will only commit evil deeds when ordered to do so, as stated by [[Jessie's Ekans]] in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Meowth is both perfectly capable of and willing to commit evil deeds without the aid of others (and takes great pride in that fact). He is motivated by self-interest and greed, but also enjoys the thrill of taking advantage of others.<br /> <br /> His relationship with Jessie and James varies in quality; for example, in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'' they stated that they regarded Meowth as a friend, but in ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', having discovered Meowth and Pikachu after the two had been stuck together, they both stated that they had really been looking for Pikachu and Meowth was just 'part of the package'. Meowth seems to have aspects of each of his teammates in him; in arguments, he can often be seen siding with either Jessie (usually denouncing James' incompetence) or James (usually complaining about Jessie's overdramatic and rash behavior). Despite these fights, the three remain very close and loyal friends, although at one point in Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, they threatened to split up. However they realized they had over reacted, and became friends again, proving themselves very loyal to each other.<br /> [[File:Meowth learning to speak.png|thumb|220px|Meowth learning to speak the human language]]<br /> Despite his seemingly outgoing nature, Meowth also has a contemplative inner side that is not seen as often. In one of his image songs, [[Meowth's Song]], and in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', he is a philosopher. Meowth comforted [[Ash's Chimchar]] in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'' and even expressed some admiration for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. On a few occasions, Meowth has become stranded with Pikachu, and during these times, the two work together fairly well. Pikachu distrusts Meowth, but Meowth is more willing to let go of the past and work together. Usually, by the end of these episodes, Meowth will betray Pikachu once he and Pikachu find [[Jessie]] and [[James]].<br /> <br /> Meowth recognizes himself as a Pokémon, but has always felt at odds where he doesn't perfectly fit into the [[Pokémon world]] because of his ability to speak like a [[human]]. Despite his often self-interested nature, he is willing to support individuals with their own passions, and will go out of his way to ensure they achieve their goal. Examples include [[Simon]] from ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', who was certain he could understand the feelings of Pokémon, or [[Michelle]]'s {{p|Bagon}} who was keen on learning how to fly.<br /> [[File:Meowth in love.png|thumb|left|250px|Meowth in love]]<br /> Meowth is an amorous Pokémon, developing crushes on occasion, which often jeopardize Team Rocket's operations. He has also demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, like in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when he coddled {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'s {{pkmn|Egg}} before fighting for custody of it, only to lose it to {{an|Misty}}. To regain custody of Togepi, he even defeated [[Brock's Onix]] by throwing a bucket of water in its face and finishing it with a {{m|Fury Swipes}} attack to the head.<br /> <br /> Meowth normally does not battle unless there are extreme circumstances; his explanation is that his ability to talk and walk upright came at the expense of battling ability. However, when forced to fight, Meowth is fairly resourceful, such as dumping a bucket of water on an {{p|Onix}} to weaken it, most notably Brock's Onix in ''Who Gets to Keep Togepi?''. He has also used his claws to pick locks on several occasions, such as when he wanted to get into [[Canalave City]]'s [[Old Chateau]] in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''.<br /> [[File:PikaMeowthOffer.png|thumb|220px|Meowth and Pikachu]]<br /> Much like Ash's Pikachu, Meowth does not stay inside a {{i|Poké Ball}}, though he is technically a [[wild Pokémon]]. He remains a part of the trio because he feels he has a place with them. Meowth considers himself the brains of the trio's operations, namely because his ability to translate [[Pokémon language|Pokémon speech]] for Jessie and James, and also because of his extensive technical knowledge, which has helped construct many of [[Team Rocket's mechas]]. He utilizes [[Boss fantasy|fantasies]] to explain his schemes to his teammates, though these also expose Meowth's ambitions to be Giovanni's sole companion. On several occasions, Meowth's value has been questioned, and he has shown signs of having abandonment issues, for example in ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'' or in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''. He even had some tension towards [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] when he first joined the trio and kept taking his place in the Team Rocket {{motto}}, but the pair now gets along. His attachment to Jessie and James is more obvious when he finds himself separated or when the trio has decided to go their separate ways. Examples of this include ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone]]'' or ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', when he became sad after Jessie and James got swallowed up by the [[Tree of Beginning]]'s antibodies.<br /> <br /> During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]'', Meowth developed a bond with {{AP|Litten}}. In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Meowth was brought to tears when Litten explained its past. His concern for Litten grew in ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', when {{an|Stoutland}} began to grow ill before disappearing, and he even informed Ash that he had better protect Litten. Following Stoutland's disappearance, Meowth visited Litten to try and get it to talk before leaving when Ash approached.

If Meowth appears, it will attempt to steal 1 captured Pokémon. If successful, it will replace it with a fresh Pokémon. If the whole Team appears, they will steal all captured Pokémon and replace them with fresh ones, essentially causing the player to start over. Both actions will cause the player to lose potential combo bonuses involving the captured Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In Pokémon: Wobbuffet Fell Down!, players use medals to bring forth and control various Pokémon in order to reach a goal guarded by Meowth. He begins facing the tree chanting &quot;ソーナンスがころんだニャ!&quot;, ''&quot;Wobbuffet fell down, meow!&quot;'' at varying speeds.

When the game is won, he tells the player to try the next level of difficulty. Meowth also appears on the box art.<br /> <br /> ====[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]====<br /> Meowth appears as a trophy.

He is also one of the few talking Pokémon that do not do so telepathically.<br /> * While Meowth is able to interpret most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} speech, he cannot understand the &quot;space talk&quot; spoken by some [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] like the {{an|Deoxys}} featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! Part 1]]'' and ''[[AG172|Part 2]]'', as well as [[Ultra Beast]]s like [[Ash's Poipole]].<br /> * Meowth claims that he is unable to learn {{m|Pay Day}} as a trade off for learning to speak. He claims to have &quot;used up all [his] smarts&quot; doing so.<br /> * In the English dub, Meowth refers to his {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} as a charm.<br /> * {{p|Sunflora}} is Meowth's most frequently used Pokémon disguise in the anime, using the disguise seven times.<br /> * There is some inconsistency as to whether or not Meowth hates water. In ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', he wanted a hot spring, and in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', he is seen taking a bath with the Egg that will hatch into {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Meowth has suggested that he and his teammates go into the water in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' and again in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]'', while in episodes like ''[[BW129|The Pirates of Decolore!]]'', he prominently remains swimming in the sea without showing any displeasure. However, in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', and ''[[HS09|Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part 1)]]'', he hates water like a cat.<br /> * Meowth is the only known Pokémon to have been a [[Gym Leader]], briefly sharing the title with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' after they had to fill in for {{an|Giovanni}}.<br /> * Aside from [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth has appeared in the most episodes out of any Pokémon in the anime, at 1008 main series episodes.<br /> * In the original Japanese version of the anime, Meowth ends almost all of his sentences with &quot;ニャー (nya)&quot;, which is the Japanese equivalent to &quot;meow&quot;, the onomatopoeia for the sound cats make (such verbal tics are a common trait in anime). This gag was initially incorporated into the {{pmin|the United States|English}} [[dub]], but far less often, and it was eventually scrapped altogether (although it is sometimes present when Meowth recites the {{motto}}).<br /> * For [[DP022]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Meowth. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about him: 「ピカチュウに　いつかはかちたい　ニャースかな」 ''&quot;Wanting to beat Pikachu someday, is that {{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}}?&quot;''.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * {{Animespecies|Meowth}}<br /> * [[Talking Pokémon]]<br /> * {{cat|Episodes focusing on Team Rocket}}<br /> ** {{cat|Episodes focusing on Meowth}}<br /> * [[a:Category:Meowth (Team Rocket)|Images on the Bulbagarden Archives]]<br /> <br /> {{Team Rocket's Pokémon|normal}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Team Rocket}}<br /> {{Aether Foundation}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Animecharacters|normal}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Masterscharacters|normal}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Ash and Pikachu characters}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Electric Tale of Pikachu characters}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Team Rocket's Pokémon]]<br /> [[Category:Red, Blue and Yellow characters]]<br /> [[Category:Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! characters]]<br /> [[Category:Masters EX characters]]<br /> [[Category:Ash &amp; Pikachu characters]]<br /> [[Category:Electric Tale of Pikachu characters]]<br /> [[Category:Members of Team Rocket]]<br /> [[Category:Gym Leaders]]<br /> [[Category:Aether Foundation's Pokémon]]<br /> [[Category:Male characters (Pokémon)]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon with TCG move errors]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Team Rockets Mauzi]]<br /> [[es:Meowth (Equipo/Team Rocket)]]<br /> [[fr:Miaouss (Team Rocket)]]<br /> [[it:Meowth (Team Rocket)]]<br /> [[ja:ニャース (アニメ)]]<br /> [[zh:喵喵（火箭队）]]</div>

<p>Pikablu: /* Why does Leon&#039;s Charizard not have its own article? */</p> <hr /> <div>== Twilight Wings section ==<br /> <br /> Hi, BigDocFan. I was looking at the page, and I wanted to ask, is it relevant to keep the Twilight Wings section on it? I mean, they are two distant interpretations of the character. And the anime one has already shown that it will have content to keep on its own in the future. I thought about taking it out, but since the page is yours, I thought it would be a very drastic change on the page of others.<br /> Another thing I wanted to ask, don't you think it is interesting to put in the section of achievements, the scene where Lance and Leon join hands in winning the World Championship?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana |Hikaru Wazana ]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana |talk]]) 12:00, 29 October 2020 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Leon as a Rival ==<br /> <br /> Shouldn't we add Leon in the Rivals section of the Anime Characters template?

He made his debut in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. By the end of the series he decided to become [[Olivia]]'s apprentice in order to achieve his dream of becoming [[Akala Island]]'s [[Island kahuna|kahuna]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Pre-series===<br /> [[File:Young Kiawe.png|250px|thumb|left|Kiawe when he was younger]]<br /> Kiawe grew up on a farm at [[Paniola Ranch]] in the [[Alola]] region with his parents, [[Rango]] and [[Sima]], and his little sister [[Mimo]]. Prior to enrolling in the [[Pokémon School]], a younger Kiawe was encouraged to become a {{type|Fire}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} by his [[Kiawe's grandfather|grandfather]]. As such, Kiawe would go to [[Wela Volcano Park]] during the [[Wela Fire Festival]] to see his grandfather crown Fire-type Pokémon with his parents. Eventually, Kiawe's grandfather passed away for reasons unknown. <br /> [[File:Kiawe Akala Grand Trial.png|thumb|250px|Kiawe's Akala Grand Trial]]<br /> As revealed in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Kiawe was warned by his grandfather to never go near a shovel that was stuck on the beach, but didn't listen as he with some friends played with one. However, Kiawe was possessed by a {{p|Sandygast}} as he kept putting sand on it, but it was unknown as to how he was able to snap out of its control. Years later, Kiawe received his grandfathers {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}} as his [[Starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], and has it help him make deliveries for his family farm.<br /> <br /> As revealed in ''[[SM123|A Fiery Training Camp Trick!]]'', Kiawe was making a delivery where he came across a battle with a wild {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} and {{p|Crawdaunt}}. After witnessing Turtonator lose to Crawdaunt, Kiawe tried to help the Blast Turtle Pokémon, but he refused it. However, Kiawe came back day after day as Turtonator didn't give up on beating Crawdaunt. When Turtonator lost to Crawdaunt again, Kiawe offered some [[Moomoo Milk]] to him, which he accepted. Kiawe offered to train Turtonator to beat Crawdaunt, as he accepted his offer. Through the training, Kiawe helped Turtonator learn {{m|Shell Trap|a new move}} and won the battle against Crawdaunt. However, before leaving, Kiawe was surprised that Turtonator tried to fly with him and Charizard. Fortunately, Kiawe realized that Turtonator wanted to go with him and happily {{pkmn2|caught}} him.<br /> [[File:Kiawe Z-Ring anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Kiawe after receiving his Z-Ring]]<br /> Sometime later, Kiawe used Turtonator to complete [[Olivia]]'s [[Island challenge|grand trial]], and he inherited his grandfather's [[Z-Ring]] and [[Firium Z]] from her. Later, Kiawe had Olivia crown Turtonator during the Wela Fire Festival to help him become stronger. Kiawe also befriended the Crawdaunt that Turtonator had been battling, as the Rogue Pokémon had a change of heart after being defeated. Eventually, Kiawe enrolled at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]] where he met his classmates, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Mallow}}, as he befriended them. Kiawe also knew [[Ilima]] before he graduated from the Pokémon School and left to study in the [[Kalos]] region. Later, Kiawe met another classmate named {{an|Lillie}} and befriended her.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''===<br /> Kiawe debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where he was flying his {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}} to school. Later, he was seen in front of the school's entrance, being harassed by a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s. The grunts challenged him to a [[Pokémon battle]], and if they won, they would get his Charizard. Kiawe accepted the challenge, but was surprised to see {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} step in to assist him. Using his Turtonator, Kiawe was able to fend off Team Skull's {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Zubat}} with ease. He then had Turtonator unleash its [[Z-Move]], {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, wiping out Team Skull's Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', Kiawe noticed the Z-Ring on Ash's wrist and was surprised to discover that Ash got his Z-Ring from the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. Kiawe was uncertain if Ash had the resolve to use Z-Moves, but was satisfied to hear Ash answer that he would respect their power. The next day, Kiawe and the rest of Ash's classmates treated Ash to a surprise welcoming party. As part of Kiawe's surprise, he challenged Ash to a {{p|Tauros}} race and won. Kiawe and the others later followed Ash into the jungle, where he witnessed a battle between Ash and the guardian deity. After the battle, Kiawe noticed that Ash's [[Electrium Z]] had shattered, and told Ash that he was not yet ready to perform Z-Moves as he hadn't cleared trials yet. After everyone else agreed to help Ash, Kiawe reluctantly agreed to help as well.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', Kiawe agreed to take Ash with him on his deliveries. He later took Ash to his family's [[Paniola Ranch|ranch]] on Akala Island, where he introduced Ash to his family. After a day of farm working, Ash noticed Kiawe training with his Turtonator. Kiawe then revealed that his Z-Ring and his Charizard used to belong to his grandfather. He also told Ash that his grandfather had inspired him to master {{type|Fire}} Z-Moves. The next day, Kiawe and Ash went on a delivery for {{OBP|Harry|SM011}}, but were attacked by the Team Skull Grunts they had encountered previously. After Ash defeated the Grunts, the two finished their delivery and had a battle afterwards.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'', Kiawe showed his classmates the [[Wela Fire Festival]] as part of their field trip to Akala Island. However, Kiawe battled a wild Alolan Marowak when it stole the Wela Crown and lost when his and Turtonator Z-Move didn't knock it out so easily. Thanks to some training with Ash, Kiawe battled Marowak again and won when they used their Z-Move as the finishing move. After Marowak gave the Wela Crown back, Kiawe was surprised when Marowak asked if it can join his team but he accepted its request and caught it. Kiawe vows to work harder with both Turtonator and {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} as his partners.<br /> [[File:Kiawe milk delivery.png|thumb|250px|Kiawe making a milk delivery]]<br /> In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', during a trip to the [[Kanto]] [[region]], Kiawe had a battle with {{an|Brock}}. He lost after his and Turtonator's Z-Move wasn't strong enough to defeat Brock's [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.<br /> <br /> From ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Kiawe was among those who helped {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}} in their mission to rescue their mother {{an|Lusamine}} after she was kidnapped by the [[Ultra Beast]] {{an|Ultra Beasts|Nihilego}}. In [[Ultra Deep Sea]], he used his Turtonator and Marowak against Lusamine's {{p|Salazzle}}. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego, freeing Lusamine from its grasp.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Kiawe attended the wedding of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}}. During the post-nuptials, Lusamine asked Kiawe and his classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to dealing with any upcoming Ultra Beast incidents, which they accepted.<br /> <br /> As a part of the Ultra Guardians, Kiawe and his Pokémon have been critical to the success of the group's missions. In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Kiawe's flexing proved critical to the success of the Ultra Guardians' first mission, to capture a troublesome {{an|Ultra Beasts|Buzzwole}} that emerged from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] onto [[Melemele Island]]. During the confrontation, Kiawe accidentally made a flexing motion, which distracted Buzzwole and this allowed Ash to capture it in a [[Beast Ball]]. Afterwards, Buzzwole was released and returned to its home thanks to an Ultra Wormhole opened by Lusamine's team.<br /> [[File:Kiawe Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|left|Kiawe in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]<br /> In ''[[SM070|The Young Flame Strikes Back!]]'', Paniola Ranch came under threat by [[Viren]], who planned to turn it into a resort hotel. After he declined Viren's offer to buy the ranch, Viren resorted to intimidating Kiawe and his family. Turtonator was knocked out after protecting Mimo from {{p|Electivire}}'s {{m|Thunder}}, which left Kiawe battling Electivire with Marowak. Their first attempt at using a Z-Move together failed, resulting in Kiawe losing. The next day, Kiawe and Marowak tried again, and this time, they were able to defeat Electivire. Unfazed, Viren brought in excavators as Mimo, Sima, and Rango stood their ground. Fortunately, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived just in time to arrest Viren and [[Viren's henchmen|his henchmen]] on various charges, saving the farm.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, Kiawe and his classmates embarked on their fifth mission, to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that Gladion would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Kiawe, Ash, {{an|Lana}}, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the &quot;{{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}&quot;. Before they could translate the mural, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} chasing after it. The group was eventually able to solve the unfolding crisis in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where they, their Pokémon, Lunala, {{AP|Poipole}}'s friends, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. After Ash and Gladion used Nebby and Lunala to replenish Necrozma's strength to revert it to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}, it restored Poipole's home world back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Kiawe and his classmates headed over to [[Poni Island]] for their individual research projects for school. Kiawe's project was to train with his Pokémon. Kiawe traveled to the [[Ruins of Hope]] with Ash in ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]''. They were unable to find {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}, so Kiawe proceeded to have a battle against Ash, but it angered Tapu Fini, causing Ash, Pikachu, Turtonator, and Marowak to become trapped in a veil of water. In order to free them, Tapu Fini tasked Kiawe with retrieving scales from {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}} within a certain time-frame. Kiawe proceeded to Akala Island on Charizard and arrived at the [[Ruins of Life]], where he battled Tapu Lele and received some scales. Returning to the Ruins of Hope, Kiawe freed Ash and the others, then received a [[Flyinium Z]] from Tapu Fini, which Kiawe proceeded to use on Charizard.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', Kiawe was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Manalo Conference]]. Using Turtonator, Kiawe participated in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round and was among the 16 Trainers remaining at the end. In ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', he faced [[Acerola]] in his first round battle. Despite Acerola's tricky strategies with her newly-caught {{p|Gengar}}, [[nickname]]d the &quot;Greedy Rapooh&quot;, Kiawe eventually emerged victorious, advancing to the second round. Later, it was revealed his next opponent would be Sophocles.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]'', Kiawe faced Sophocles in the second round, and before their battle started, Sophocles revealed he started to enjoy battling and wished to defeat Kiawe one day despite knowing how strong he is. The battle continued in the [[SM134|next episode]], where, after a fierce exchange of attacks, Kiawe eventually emerged as the winner. After the second round ended, it was revealed Kiawe's next opponent would be Gladion.<br /> [[File:Kiawe and Mimo.png|thumb|250px|Kiawe and Mimo]]<br /> In ''[[SM135|The Final Four!]]'', Mimo arrived at the stadium, where she watched her brother battle Gladion. First, [[Gladion's Lycanroc]] defeated Marowak before falling to Turtonator's newly learned {{m|Focus Blast}}. The battle continued in the [[SM136|next episode]], with Gladion using {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} to face Turtonator. Noticing Turtonator's injuries, Kiawe decided to finish the battle in one shot with Inferno Overdrive, but his attempt failed when Gladion minimized the damage by giving Silvally a [[Fire Memory]], allowing it to easily defeat the exhausted Turtonator and eliminate Kiawe from the tournament. Afterwards, Kiawe congratulated Gladion for his victory and declared him as a [[rival]] in addition to Ash.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Kiawe attended the award ceremony for Ash's victory in the Manalo Conference, only for it to be interrupted when a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} arrived at the stadium through a wormhole. In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Kiawe helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety, only for a second, {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} to appear in the shopping area, forcing Kiawe, Gladion, [[Hau]], Lillie, Sophocles, Lana, and Mallow to battle it. By combining their Z-Moves into one giant attack, Kiawe and the others managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into Ultra Space.<br /> [[File:Ash and Kiawe.png|thumb|250px|left|Kiawe and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', with the Alola League over, Kiawe and his classmates returned to their usual routine at the Pokémon School. When asked what he planned on doing for the upcoming vacation, Kiawe stated that he wished to battle Ash to make up for not being able to during the League. Later, at the Ruins of Life, Olivia referred a battle between Kiawe and Ash that ended in the latter's victory. Afterwards, Kiawe revealed that he planned on finishing the island challenge in order to eventually become an [[island kahuna]] like his grandfather. Olivia suggested that in order for Kiawe to achieve his dream, he should broaden his horizons by exploring the world.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Kiawe told the others that he would be spending his vacation assisting and training with Olivia. When Lillie arrived, she revealed that she would be leaving on a journey with Gladion and Lusamine to find her missing father [[Mohn]] with the help of the {{DL|Mohn|Magearna}} she awakened. The next day, Kiawe and the others said farewell to Lillie, taking one last photo with her before she and her family left on a cruise ship. As he flew back home, Ash was greeted by his classmates and Alolan Pokémon, who flew by in their Ultra Guardians uniforms to give him one final farewell. Sometime later, Kiawe made one last delivery to [[Aina's Kitchen]] before leaving to begin his training with Olivia.<br /> <br /> ===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Kiawe attended the welcome party held to celebrate Ash and [[Goh]]'s visit to Alola. He was displeased upon hearing of how infrequently Ash and Goh battled each other, and as such, he later challenged Goh to battle to see if he was a worthy rival for Ash. During the battle, Goh snapped at Kiawe and told him that he wasn't Ash's rival, but rather just a friend and fellow [[Professors' aides|research fellow]]. Kiawe used Inferno Overdrive on [[Goh's Raboot]], but before the move could connect, he had Marowak pick it and Goh out of the way. Afterwards, Kiawe asked Goh to look after Ash, which he agreed to.<br /> <br /> Kiawe is mentioned and seen in a fantasy in ''[[JN096|Lighting the Way Home!]]'', where Sophocles told Goh that Kiawe was looking forward to battling Goh again.<br /> <br /> When Lillie's family returned to Alola in ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'' after finding Mohn, Kiawe was revealed to have gone off to train instead of attending the party to celebrate Mohn's homecoming. The next day, Kiawe participated in a Battle Royal with Ash, Professor Kukui, and Gladion. He was able to defeat Gladion, but lost to Kukui.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'' and ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Kiawe was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} at the [[Pokémon School]].<br /> <br /> ==Character==<br /> [[File:Kiawe and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|Kiawe and his Z-Ring]]<br /> Kiawe attends school while helping at his family's farm, delivering packages to faraway islands with his Charizard. Of {{ashcl|Ash's classmates}}, he is the most experienced Trainer, having been entrusted with a [[Z-Ring]], by [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]] [[Olivia]], that once belonged to his grandfather, a former kahuna himself. As a result, Kiawe holds a deep respect for the importance of Z-Rings and [[Z-Move]]s, to the point where, in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]'', he furiously chased {{Ash}} down and attempted to attack him with a Z-Move when he discovered that Ash had supposedly lost his [[Electrium Z]].<br /> [[File:Kiawe furious.png|thumb|250px|left|Kiawe's rage at Ash for losing his Electrium Z]]<br /> Kiawe is calm, collected, and confident in his abilities. When Ash stepped in to help Kiawe after he was outnumbered by [[Team Skull]], Kiawe insisted that he didn't need the newcomer's help. As shown in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', Kiawe did not so much as flinch after [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]] crashed into his face. Despite his stoic exterior, however, Kiawe is extremely hot-blooded and can be easily moved to tears. He is also wildly competitive, and becomes intensely motivated during competitions such as the [[Baseball|Pokémon Base]] match in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'' and the [[Charjabug race]] in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]''. Kiawe also appears to be overprotective of his younger sister, [[Mimo]], who does not take well to her brother's coddling. In addition, in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Kiawe was uncomfortable while flying on an airplane.<br /> [[File:Kiawe and his Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Kiawe with Marowak and Turtonator]]<br /> Kiawe is a fan of {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, as evident in ''Alola, Kanto!'', when the Pokémon he wanted to see were all Fire types. He tends to cry when he gets excited, such as in ''Alola, Kanto!'', when he rode on top of a {{p|Rapidash}} and in ''[[SM023|Getting the Band Back Together!]]'', after watching the [[DJ Leo]] concert.<br /> <br /> Kiawe has been shown to have a rivalry and a close friendship with Ash, often battling and training together. In addition, Kiawe respects Ash as a Trainer, as shown in ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', when he was impressed that he and the Masked Royal would still battle the [[Revengers]] fair and square, even though the latter were cheating. Since meeting {{an|Brock}} in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Kiawe became very good friends with him and respects him as a former [[Gym Leader]], which led him to want to battle him in the [[SM043|next episode]].<br /> <br /> Ever since the events in ''[[SM070|The Young Flame Strikes Back!]]'', Kiawe has held a deep grudge against [[Viren]], the president of Rainbow Happy Resorts and the leader of the Revengers. He would get enraged whenever he sees him or hears his name being spoken, as shown in ''[[SM085|The Long Vault Home!]]''.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> ===On hand===<br /> {| width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{ActivePoké|Kiawe|Charizard|Kiawe Charizard.png|fire|flying}}<br /> | {{ActivePoké|Kiawe|Turtonator|Kiawe Turtonator.png|fire|dragon}} ♂<br /> | {{ActivePoké|Kiawe|Marowak|Kiawe Marowak.png|fire|ghost}}<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Ride Pokémon===<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Kiawe<br /> |pkmn=Tauros<br /> |gender=male<br /> |type1=Normal<br /> |img=Ash Kiawe Tauros.png<br /> |cap=A Poké Ride Tauros<br /> |epnum=SM002<br /> |epname=The Guardian's Challenge!<br /> |vajp=<br /> |vaen=<br /> |desc=Kiawe was first seen riding a [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Tauros}} around the [[Pokémon School]].

It has a green torso with a small blue star on its stomach, and long black legs with two toes on each foot. Between its toes are sprouts with two leaves. A green, leafy cloak covers its arms, the neck of which appears to be a large, thorny vine. Two thorns stick out prominently from the top, resembling two large horns. Underneath the mask, Ogerpon has yellow eyes.<br /> <br /> It covers its face with its large, teal mask that has a mischievous expression. The mouth is tan, sporting two protrusions from the chin that resemble pincers. One both sides of the mouth are three large green leaves that are larger than each one below. On top of the mask are 5 teal leaves fanned out to form a kind of crown, with the outer four having holes cut out towards the center. A type of crystal that resembles those found in the depths of [[Area Zero]] adorns its mask, a 4 sided star in the center of its crown, 6 more in the center of each leaf on the side of its mask, and two more used in the center as eyes.<br /> <br /> The mask it wears is described as being fearsome&lt;ref&gt;https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_pokemon/&lt;/ref&gt;. &lt;!--It and its former companion were shunned by the people of [[Kitakami]] due to their strange appearance, and so they lived in a nearby mountain, isolated from the villagers. The village mask-maker took pity on the pair and crafted four beautiful masks for them, allowing them to blend in with the people during the village festival. However, their fame attracted three greedy Pokémon: {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}}, who attacked Ogrepon's companion in their cave while Ogrepon was away, stealing all but the Teal Mask and leaving no trace of the companion when Ogrepon returned. Filled with rage, Ogrepon attacked and defeated the three Pokémon in the village, but its anger caused the villagers to fear it even more. Thus, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti were immortalized by the unaware villagers as the [[Loyal Three]], while Ogrepon was left alone in its cave, saddened by the events that had transpired.--&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Ogerpon 2.png||Partially unmasked<br /> Ogerpon vines.png|Ogerpon's vines<br /> Ogerpon Terastallized.png|Special Terastallized Form<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Forms===<br /> Ogerpon has four forms, each with a unique [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized form]].<br /> <br /> In its Teal Mask Terastallized form, Ogerpon's mask becomes bigger, completely covering all but its legs. The Mask itself floats durning battle. The black part of mouth mask opens up more. The head crystal changes into having the Terastal Symbol at center along with two Ogre-like spikes on front of head. The lower three large green leaves change to bright green. Behind the mask is several bright green leaves and spit vines forming a fur like look for mask.<br /> &lt;!--<br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ===Minor appearances===<br />

Just because it has the male variant stripe, doesn't mean it is a male for the following reasons: 1)a female variant hasn't appeared in the anime 2)its gender difference is rather difficult to point out since it has to do with the length of a stripe and the animator may (unintentionally) make errors regarding its length (like making it too long for one scene and too short the next).

I just wanted to make sure our policy on adding moves for the anime is clear. It is our current policy that, as a rule, moves should not be assumed unless they were called or else explicitly identified after the fact. The only possible exceptions are, tentatively, the moves on [[User:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations|this list]].<br /> <br /> So even if you think a move looks the same as another example of Bite that can be reliabily identified, it's not okay to assume it is the same move. And while I know Hyper Beam is currently on the list I mentioned above, I think for the time being it would be best to discuss this case.<br /> <br /> I hope you can keep this in mind in the future.

Due to your consistent edit warring and rudeness towards other users, you have been blocked for a month. You are fully aware of how things are done on Bulbapedia, do not try to call foul. We do not assume moves are what they are based on animation, that is called speculation and you could be 100% wrong. We need a move to be explicitly said (or &quot;spoonfed&quot; by your definition) so that way, we '''cannot''' be incorrect. Yes, I have a page in my userspace detailing move we can assume based on animation. But if you actually care to notice, those are moves with '''consistent''' and '''unique''' animations. Hydro PUmp does not have a consistent and unique animation, regardless of Hydro Pump &quot;looking&quot; bigger than Water Gun. The animators can make Water Gun look bigger and powerful because '''plot convenience''', they can do whatever the hell they want. Next time, once you've come back, '''do not''' - I '''repeat''' - '''DO NOT''' run for that revert button and '''DISCUSS''' any issues you have on the talk page of the user or the conflicting articles.

After meeting up with Noland, he explained that he had been cruising with Articuno the previous night. [[Max]] was impressed on how Noland {{pkmn2|caught}} such a powerful Pokémon, but Noland further explained that Articuno is {{pkmn2|wild}}, and a friend of his. Noland revealed that, on his biplane's maiden voyage, he was surprised to find an Articuno flying beside him. The Legendary bird had trouble flying due to an injured wing. The Factory Head managed to get the Pokémon to land on top of his plane and brought it down. Noland helped it to heal, and ever since then, Articuno had been regularly visiting him.<br /> <br /> When Noland told Ash to select one of the Head's Pokémon to battle, Ash decided on Articuno. Noland asked it if it agreed to battle under his command, which it did. Soon after [[Ash's Charizard]] made a return from [[Charicific Valley]] to battle Articuno.<br /> <br /> Noland battled Ash and Charizard with Articuno in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''. Even though Charizard had the type advantage and had also learned {{m|Overheat}} prior to the battle, he still struggled against Articuno. Eventually, after a fierce battle, Charizard defeated Articuno with a devastating {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br /> [[File:AG136.png|thumb|220px|Articuno vs Charizard]]<br /> Articuno reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> Despite not being caught by Noland, Articuno formed a friendship with him after Noland treated its injured wing.

It is usually seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] its {{i|Poké Ball}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> [[File:Liko and Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito and Liko]]<br /> {{p|Sprigatito}} debuted in [[HZ001]], when [[Liko]] received it as her [[starter Pokémon]] by the [[Indigo Academy]]. At first, Sprigatito and Liko didn't get along well, with the Grass Cat Pokémon scratching its Trainer's hand and running off to mind its own business. In its battle debut against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Oshawott}}, Sprigatito didn't listen to Liko's instructions, which led to it getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}.<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito scent.png|thumb|250px|Sprigatito's scent putting Rhydon to sleep]]<br /> During the next days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about it and make it listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail. When [[Amethio]] first approached Liko, Sprigatito immediately got suspicious of him and led its Trainer to the school's rooftop. It then went up against [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} and won after subduing it with its aroma.<br /> <br /> [[HZ002|After being rescued]] by [[Friede]], they were taken aboard his [[Brave Asagi|airship]] with the other members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], but were soon confronted by Amethio and his teammates. Liko was about to give herself up, but after some encouragement from Sprigatito, Liko stood tall and had it unleash a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around Wing Deck, but it got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the [[Explorers]] to kidnap Sprigatito before fleeing.<br /> <br /> In [[HZ003]], Sprigatito was kept in a warehouse with [[Onia]], who had taken a liking to Sprigatito and was giving it food and toys. With the help of [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}}, Liko located Sprigatito and took it back from the Explorers, only to be confronted by Onia and her {{p|Skarmory}}. Sprigatito was able to blind Onia and Skarmory with Leafage, allowing them to escape. At the end of the day, Sprigatito and its Trainer joined the Rising Volt Tacklers as official members.<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito and Roy Fuecoco.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco]]<br /> In [[HZ005]], Sprigatito battled Onia and her {{p|Golduck}}, and quickly defeated them. However, Sprigatito and Liko were almost ambushed by Amethio and his {{p|Corviknight}}. Fortunately, they were [[HZ006|saved by Liko's pendant]] once again. Sprigatito then teamed up with {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in order to battle against Amethio's {{p|Ceruledge}}. Despite the numerical advantage, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}} emerged from Roy's Ancient Poké Ball and started attacking, forcing the Explorers to retreat.<br /> [[File:Sprigatito retrieves Liko's pendant.png|thumb|250px|Sprigatito retrieves Liko's pendant]]<br /> In [[HZ007]], Sprigatito briefly sparred against Roy's Fuecoco. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Leafage and {{m|Ember}}. Later, after being unable to talk to [[Dot]], Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede into holding a special training session for the rookies: this time, Sprigatito and Fuecoco faced off against [[Captain Pikachu]] and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his {{m|Double Team}}, Sprigatito managed to almost score a {{m|Scratch}} after its Trainer figured out Pikachu's behavior. After a lunch break, Sprigatito battled against Fuecoco once more in order to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a [[type]] disadvantage, Sprigatito knocked Fuecoco out with its newly-learned {{m|Quick Attack}}, giving Liko the win. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in Paldea.<br /> <br /> In [[HZ014]], Sprigatito and Liko went to [[Levincia]] after its Trainer saw an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] that Murdock had wanted. However, unbeknownst to both of them, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] in order to steal Liko's pendant. After arriving in a dark alley, Sprigatito was put in a trance by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} as he easily stole the pendant. It was later revealed in the [[HZ015|next episode]] that Sprigatito went through a memory wipe thanks to Beheeyem, but regained its memory piece by piece. After jumping off a building with Liko, Sprigatito reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers. In [[HZ016]], Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon and [[Dot's Quaxly]] to battle Spinel's Pokémon. Although they were able to defeat his {{p|Magneton}} and Beeheyem, they nearly lost to his {{p|Umbreon}}. However, Sprigatito was able to get Liko's pedant back from Spinel.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito angry.png|thumb|250px|Sprigatito being easily provoked]]<br /> Sprigatito has shown to be brave, headstrong, and somewhat reckless. However, unlike its species, Sprigatito isn't the affectionate type nor an attention-seeker. Sprigatito also does not like receiving affection. Despite its initial coldness towards those around it, Sprigatito has shown to be relaxed and enjoys sunbathing. Sprigatito has also shown to not be easily impressed with various things, such as [[Roy]]'s singing in [[HZ005]]. As revealed in [[HZ007]], Sprigatito is shown to like dry flavored food, like matcha cupcakes. Sprigatito also enjoys sweets, as seen in [[HZ019]], when it was shown to like the taste of [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Alcremie}}'s cream. In addition, Sprigatito is easily startled by loud noises, and is also easily provoked, seen during its training against [[Captain Pikachu]], in which its {{m|Double Team}} copies easily frustrated the Grass Cat Pokémon. Despite being a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, Sprigatito doesn't like water.<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito startled.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito startled by loud noises]]<br /> Initially, Sprigatito didn't listen to [[Liko]]'s commands as it wasn't interested in her, preferring to sit out on the roof of the [[Indigo Academy]] instead of hanging out with her. However, after witnessing its Trainer attempt to understand its habits, Sprigatito started to care about Liko and came to appreciate her affection, often sitting on her shoulder or head, or being held in its Trainer's arms. Ever since the events of [[HZ002]], Sprigatito mellowed out as it became friendly with both people and Pokémon. Much like its Trainer, Sprigatito can be cautious of trusting others, as seen in [[HZ001]], when it growled at [[Amethio]] after he presented himself as a representative of [[Diana (Horizons)|Liko's grandmother]]. Aside from this, Sprigatito has been shown to get jealous of other Pokemon winning Liko's affection, as seen in [[HZ009]], where it immediately grew jealous of {{OBP|Alex|Horizons}}'s Fidough getting along with its Trainer. However, Sprigatito quickly let go of its grudge against Fidough and befriended it.<br /> <br /> Sprigatito is capable of releasing a sweet scent from its paws that relaxes those who smell it. As shown in its battle against [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}, it is strong enough to put a Pokémon to sleep in the middle of a battle. Sunbathing will strengthen the power of its sweet scent. It has also been shown using {{m|Leafage}} to blind opponents on multiple occasions as a way to circumvent its lack of strength.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|grass||Liko Sprigatito {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Leafage|1=Scratch|2=Quick Attack}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Leafage|1=Scratch|2=Quick Attack}}}}<br /> {{anmov|grass|Leafage|HZ001|}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|HZ007|}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Quick Attack|HZ007|}}<br /> {{anmov/f|grass}}<br /> <br /> ===Artwork===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|20px}} border:2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background:#{{grass color}}; font-size:80%&quot;<br /> |style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background: #{{grass color light}}; width:auto&quot;| [[File:Liko Sprigatito anime.png|x150px]]<br /> |style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background: #{{grass color light}}; width:auto&quot;| [[File:Liko Sprigatito anime 2.png|x145px]] <br /> |-<br /> | Official artwork from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon Horizons: The Series}}''&lt;ref&gt;https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pocketmonster2023/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | Official artwork from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon Horizons: The Series}}''<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border:2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background:#{{grass color light}}&quot;| [[File:Pokemon 2023 Anime Promo Artwork.png|x150px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border:2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background:#{{grass color light}}&quot;| [[File:Pokemon 2023 Airdate Promo Artwork.png|x150px]]<br /> |-<br /> | Reveal artwork from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon Horizons: The Series}}''<br /> | Reveal artwork from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon Horizons: The Series}}''<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border:2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background:#{{grass color light}}&quot;| [[File:Pokemon 2023 First Broadcast Poster.jpg|x200px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border:2px solid #{{grass color dark}}; background:#{{grass color light}}&quot;| [[File:Pokemon Horizon Promotional Poster 2.jpg|x200px]]<br /> |-<br /> | First poster from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon Horizons: The Series}}''<br /> | Second poster from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon Horizons: The Series}}''<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito HZM.png|thumb|150px|Sprigatito in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|Kei Yamadaka}}]]<br /> ===Pocket Monsters===<br /> Sprigatito appears as a main character in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|Kei Yamadaka}}, which is based on ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|grass}}<br /> {{anmov|grass|Leafage|HZM1}}<br /> {{anmov/f|grass}}<br /> <br /> ===Pocket Monsters ~ Liko's Treasure ~===<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito PMLT.png|thumb|150px|Sprigatito in [[Pocket Monsters ~ Liko's Treasure ~]]]]<br /> Sprigatito appears as a main character in the [[Pocket Monsters ~ Liko's Treasure ~]] manga.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|grass}}<br /> {{anmov|grass|Leafage|PMLT01|}}<br /> {{anmov/f|grass}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Pocket Monsters ~The Detouring Volt Tacklers!!~===<br /> [[File:Liko Sprigatito PMTDVT.png|thumb|200px|Sprigatito in [[Pocket Monsters ~The Detouring Volt Tacklers!!~]]]]<br /> Sprigatito appears as a main character in the [[Pocket Monsters ~The Detouring Volt Tacklers!!~]] manga.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ==In the games==<br /> ====[[Pokémon Mezastar]]====<br /> Sprigatito appears in [[Pokémon Mezastar]] as one of Liko's Pokémon.

As a result, [[Ash's Froakie]] attempted to battle Fletchling, only to be repeatedly knocked out of the air. After Fletchling left, {{an|Clemont}} tried to attract it with one of his [[Clemontic Gear]]s, only for Fletchling to set them up into being attacked by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}. The chase led Ash and {{ashfr}} to a canyon, where Froakie challenged Fletchling to another battle. Using the terrain to its advantage, Froakie managed to defeat Fletchling and this resulted in its catch by Ash. Fletchling was soon sent out again to be introduced to everyone else where it shared an Oran Berry with Froakie and {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Fletchling was Ash's second and last Pokémon in his [[Santalune Gym]] battle against [[Viola]], being pitted against her {{p|Surskit}}. It was unaffected by the slippery field caused by {{m|Ice Beam}} as well as having a type advantage. Fletchling used {{m|Peck}} which was dodged and avoided an Ice Beam attack. Surskit used {{m|Sticky Web}}, which Fletchling dodged by using {{m|Double Team}}. It then used {{m|Razor Wind}}, hitting Surskit and knocking it out. It then went up against her {{p|Vivillon}}, who countered its Peck with {{m|Psychic}} and smashed it onto the ground. The {{pkmn|category|Tiny Robin Pokémon}} was then hit with {{m|Gust}} and was pushed into the Sticky Web that Surskit had set before, leaving it unable to escape and open to be hit with a powerful {{m|Solar Beam}}, knocking it out and causing Ash to lose the Gym battle. After it was healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], it trained with Pikachu for their rematch by using [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Noivern}} using Gust to help them withstand Vivillon's Gust.<br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu Fletchling training.png|thumb|250px|Fletchling training for the rematch against Viola]]<br /> In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', while continuing its training along with Pikachu, it was able to withstand Noivern's Gust well, before switching to using one of Clemont's inventions to practice avoiding Surskit's Sticky Web. After the machine broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon in his Gym battle rematch against Viola, going up against her Vivillon. Its {{m|Steel Wing}} was countered with Psychic, dealing damage to Fletchling. It hit with a second Steel Wing but its Peck was dodged. Vivillon used Gust, but using its training, it was able to withstand it and use a spinning Razor Wind, but Vivillon used its final move, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, to put Fletchling to {{status|sleep}} and it was defeated by Solar Beam.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon during his battle against [[Grant]] at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Fletchling went up against {{p|Tyrunt}}. It used Razor Wind but Tyrunt used its powerful mouth and fangs with {{m|Crunch}} to bite and block the move. Ash changed strategy and, trying to confuse Tyrunt, he had Fletchling use Double Team before then aiming a Steel Wing attack at its chest. Tyrunt jumped and dodged the attacks and then used {{m|Dragon Tail}} to destroy the copies but the real Fletchling hit Tyrunt with a [[Type#Type effectiveness|super-effective]] Steel Wing. Despite Fletchling's best efforts, the Royal Heir Pokémon hit back with another Dragon Tail attack, knocking Fletchling out.<br /> [[File:Ash Fletchling Sky Battle.png|thumb|250px|left|Fletchling and Ash in a Sky Battle]]<br /> In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Ash and his friends met a Trainer named [[Moria]], a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, and her {{p|Talonflame}}. She offered to have a [[Sky Battle]] with Ash and took them to a place where they could test out the Sky Battle gear. Ash sent out Fletchling and {{AP|Hawlucha}} to join them while they practiced. When Fletchling met Talonflame, it wished to battle it, but Talonflame was not impressed and Moria chose to battle Hawlucha instead, which upset Fletchling. Fletchling stayed with Bonnie while Ash and Hawlucha battled Talonflame, studying how Talonflame moved and attacked. After Hawlucha was defeated it helped rescue Talonflame from Team Rocket, earning Talonflame's respect. Afterward, Talonflame decided it wanted to battle against Fletchling after all. Fletchling was able to dodge many of Talonflame's attacks due to its small size and using what it learned from watching Hawlucha's battle. Fletchling was eventually hit by a powerful {{m|Fire Blast}} and evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}} in the process. It successfully defeated Talonflame with its newly learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, using the speed increase from the new move three times to easily follow it and attack.<br /> <br /> As a Fletchinder, it was used during Ash's battle against {{an|Korrina}} at the [[Shalour Gym]] in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''. It was his second Pokémon and went up against Korrina's {{p|Machoke}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Machoke used its incredible running and jumping ability to dodge and hit Fletchinder with {{m|Brick Break}}. Fletchinder was then hit by a speedy {{m|Low Sweep}}. Fletchinder went for Steel Wing but it was caught by Machoke who threw it. Fletchinder recovered and used Razor Wind. Machoke then went for {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Fletchinder used Flame Charge and hit Machoke after it dodged Focus Blast, knocking it out. Korrina then sent out her final Pokémon, her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}, and she immediately [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] it into {{me|Lucario}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but Mega Lucario used {{m|Metal Sound}}, blocking Flame Charge and lowering Fletchinder's Special Defense. Fletchinder broke through and hit Mega Lucario with Flame Charge, which was super-effective. Mega Lucario then used {{m|Aura Sphere}} but Fletchinder countered with Steel Wing, blocking the attack. Mega Lucario then quickly came from behind and used {{m|Power-Up Punch}}, knocking Fletchinder out.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Fletchinder was called out to battle [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} at the [[Coumarine Gym]]. It used Flame Charge but Jumpluff was able to protect itself by using {{m|Cotton Guard}}. Jumpluff then used {{m|Sunny Day}}, creating [[harsh sunlight]]. Fletchinder then used Steel Wing, but Jumpluff managed to dodge thanks to its {{a|Chlorophyll}} [[Ability]]. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but its attack was once again dodged. However, the effect of Flame Charge increased its {{stat|Speed}}, allowing it to hit with a second one. Although Jumpluff used Cotton Guard, it was not enough and Fletchinder defeated the Cottonweed Pokémon. It then went up against Ramos's {{p|Weepinbell}}, Fletchinder used Flame Charge but it was dodged, as Weepinbell activated its Chlorophyll Ability using the harsh sunlight from Jumpluff. It used Flame Charge again but Weepinbell used its {{m|Poison Powder}} to escape, {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Fletchinder in the process. While it was down, it was hit by Weepinbell's {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Fletchinder got up and used Flame Charge, but the Flycatcher Pokémon dodged and used the vines above the battlefield to climb on top of Fletchinder and launch {{m|Slam}}, rendering Fletchinder [[Fainting|unable to battle]].<br /> [[File:Ash Talonflame Flame Body.png|thumb|250px|Flame Body activated]]<br /> In ''[[XY074|Fairy-Type Trickery!]]'', Fletchinder was the first Pokémon sent out by Ash during his battle against [[Valerie]] at the [[Laverre Gym]]. It went up against her {{p|Sylveon}}. Fletchinder landed a successful super-effective Steel Wing on Sylveon, but it was hit with {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Fletchinder attempted to use {{m|Peck}}, but it got caught in Sylveon's feelers and was spun around while being hit with {{m|Fairy Wind}}. Sylveon attempted to crash Flecthinder into the ground, but it was able to break free with Flame Charge and hit Sylveon. Sylveon used {{m|Giga Impact}} while Fletchinder used Steel Wing, both attacks hit, but only Fletchinder was able to remain up, defeating the Intertwining Pokémon. Valerie then used {{p|Spritzee}}, Fletchinder went for a Steel Wing but the Perfume Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Trick Room}}, meaning that the slowest Pokémon attacks first. Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge but Clemont realized it was a bad idea since Trick Room meant that Pokémon that are normally fast would be slower inside the Trick Room. With this, Spritzee easily dodged the attacks. Despite this, Ash had Fletchinder use Flame Charge and Spritzee hit Fletchinder with {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Fletchinder used Flame Charge again, which was dodged, leaving it open to get hit by {{m|Gyro Ball}}. After having another Flame Charge dodged, Trick Room ended and Fletchinder hit Spritzee with a speedy Steel Wing, which caused the other to realize Ash's strategy was to wait until Trick Room ended and then use speed. However, Fletchinder was hit by {{m|Moonblast}} and knocked out.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'', it was training until Hawlucha found an Egg and brought it back to Ash. While it was hatching, Fletchinder used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to keep it warm until it hatched into a {{AP|Noibat}}. Later after Noibat was frustrated by its inability to fly, it and Hawlucha offered to help to teach it to fly, Fletchinder flew while Noibat tried to trail it by flying but failed and almost crashed into the ground until it was caught by Ash. After failing with Hawlucha, they went to the hills to make practicing easier; however, Hawlucha and Noibat were captured by Team Rocket. Fletchinder tried to rescue them with Steel Wing, but {{TP|James|Inkay}} used its Ink Spray, blinding Fletchinder and stopping its attack. It was caught by Ash and then followed Team Rocket to a cave where it led Ash and the others to them, where Pikachu and {{AP|Frogadier}} defeated Team Rocket. After Ash caught Noibat, Fletchinder continued training with Noibat and Hawlucha, to help teach Noibat to fly.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', it continued to train Noibat how to fly along with Hawlucha. Afterwards they noticed a {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. They went to the source of this, the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]], where they discovered that the birds came from the Sky Relay Champion, [[Orson]]. Later Ash used Fletchinder, Hawlucha, and Noibat in the relay. Fletchinder was used in the first part of the race. It had a good lead initially and did well when it got into the forest, but when a {{p|Hydreigon}} crashed into a tree, apples fell down, forcing Fletchinder to dodge them, causing it to lose its first position. It ended up being third at the end of the first segment when it passed the baton onto Hawlucha, behind Staravia and {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}, which was hiding inside an Altaria. They eventually ended up second after Noibat barely lost to Starly, but it and the others were pleased with Noibat, who had successfully learned to fly.<br /> [[File:Ash Talonflame vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|left|Battling Moltres as a newly-evolved Talonflame]]<br /> In ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it was used in a battle against {{an|Trevor}}'s {{TP|Trevor|Charmeleon}}. It used its speedy movements to dodge a {{m|Fire Spin}} and block {{m|Flamethrower}} with a spinning Steel Wing. After knocking Charmeleon back with Flame Charge, Fletchinder barely managed to avoid a Dragon Claw. Charmeleon then used Flamethrower again, but this was dodged again and Fletchinder struck the Flame Pokémon with Steel Wing, knocking it out. Shortly after, Ash called upon Fletchinder to battle Team Rocket and later, a wild {{p|Moltres}}. However, it was soon overwhelmed by the power of the Legendary Pokémon. When Ash tried to tell Fletchinder to wait for him, Moltres noticed the group and attacked them instead. Fletchinder, determined to save the group, sped ahead of Moltres's Flamethrower and, during the fast-paced flight, suddenly evolved into {{p|Talonflame}} and successfully blocked the attack, also learning {{m|Brave Bird}} as a result. Though it evolved and learned a new move, Moltres was just too strong and knocked Talonflame out with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. Falling toward the lava, Talonflame looked doomed, but Ash plunged to help it, risking his own life in the process. They avoided being incinerated when {{AP|Frogadier}} saved them with its Frubbles. Once Ash and Talonflame were safely pulled up, Ash's friends scolded him for almost getting himself killed, but Moltres was impressed by Ash's courage and flew away into the sky.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', Talonflame was used along with Frogadier in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the [[Anistar Gym]]. After Olympia's Meowstic used a {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}}, Talonflame and Frogadier headed in for the attack. Both Meowstic simply dodged the attacks and began levitating. Ash then had Talonflame attack the male Meowstic with Flame Charge and scored a successful hit, after Meowstic set up his {{m|Light Screen}}, which protected his partner against Frogadier's Water Pulse. Talonflame was then hit by Olympia's female Meowstic but was caught by Frogadier before hitting the ground. Both Meowstic then fired off their {{m|Psyshock}}, which kept following their targets due to the female Meowstic's {{a|Keen Eye}} Ability, and were able to hit their opponents. As Talonflame and Frogadier stood up and were about to counterattack, wormholes appeared and Future Sight struck Talonflame, knocking it into Frogadier. Ash then came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. Ash then had Talonflame use Brave Bird and Frogadier use Double Team to cover Talonflame. After the female Meowstic wiped the clones out with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, its Dark Pulse was canceled out by Frogadier's {{m|Cut}}, giving Talonflame the chance to hit her hard with Brave Bird. She, however, immediately recovered and launched a {{m|Thunder Wave}} at Talonflame, but Frogadier jumped in and took the attack, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} it. Meowstic then used Future Sight once again and fired off a double Psyshock. Knowing that dodging wouldn't work, Ash had Talonflame charge in, slicing through their attacks with Steel Wing. As the Psyshock headed back towards Talonflame, they were stopped by Frogadier's Water Pulse and Talonflame struck the male Meowstic with a spinning Steel Wing. It later caught Frogadier, who just got hit, but was then struck by Future Sight again. After Future Sight was used again, Talonflame carried Frogadier and charged toward the Meowstic. The {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon attacked with Psyshock and Dark Pulse, which kept following their marks again. Talonflame, however, led the attack toward the Meowstic and flew off at the last moment, causing them to get hit by their own attacks. Talonflame and Frogadier then grabbed onto the Meowstic. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. Talonflame then saved the paralyzed Frogadier from Psyshock and used Flame Charge to shield itself and Frogadier from Meowstic's attacks. Talonflame then knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, while Frogadier defeated the male with Water Pulse. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'', Ash sent out Talonflame to try to distract a wild {{p|Zapdos}} that was attacking him, so he could reach [[Joule Town]] and deliver medicine to the town's hospital. Talonflame once more managed to hold its own against a Legendary bird, using its great speed to dodge Zapdos's attacks. Zapdos, however, eventually struck it down with {{m|Charge Beam}}, followed up by a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, forcing Ash to recall it.<br /> [[File:Ash Talonflame vs Wulfric Avalugg.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame battling Wulfric's Avalugg]]<br /> In ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', Ash chose to use Talonflame as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], facing his {{p|Avalugg}}. Talonflame made a strong opening with Flame Charge, also increasing his speed. Wulfric, however, used Talonflame's great Speed to his advantage and had Avalugg use {{m|Avalanche}}, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent. Additionally, any attacks made by Talonflame were quickly healed because of Avalugg's {{a|Ice Body}} Ability, due to the {{weather|Hail|hailstorm}} set up previously. Talonflame narrowly dodged the incoming {{m|Stone Edge}}, and hit Avalugg with another Flame Charge, but this proved to be a repeated mistake as Avalugg simply knocked it out with another Avalanche.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Talonflame was used in Ash's rematch with Wulfric, where it faced his Avalugg again. Just like last time, it managed to land a hit with Flame Charge. Avalugg then retaliated with Stone Edge and while Talonflame managed to dodge most of the stone pillars emerging from the ground, it got struck by the last one. Talonflame, however, shook it off and cut into Avalugg's back with Steel Wing. Talonflame was then hit by a powered-up Avalanche, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to melt the falling chunks of ice and hit Avalugg hard, finally defeating the Iceberg Pokémon. It then faced Wulfric's last Pokémon, his {{p|Abomasnow}}, who set up a hailstorm upon entry using his {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability. While continuously being damaged by the Hail, Talonflame flew towards Abomasnow using Steel Wing, but Abomasnow countered with {{m|Wood Hammer}}, overpowering it. Talonflame then went for Flame Charge, but its attack was stopped once again as it got struck by {{m|Ice Shard}} and immediately after slammed to the ground with another Wood Hammer, knocking it out.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', Talonflame was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in Ash's [[Full Battle]] against [[Sawyer]] as his second Pokémon, where it faced Sawyer's {{p|Slaking}}. Just like in Slaking's battle against Hawlucha, Slaking was able to take a hit from Talonflame's Steel Wing and restore its health with {{m|Slack Off}}. Talonflame then used Flame Charge which {{p|Slaking}} countered with {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Weakened by all the damage it had taken, Slaking fell to its knee, allowing Talonflame to overpower it. Talonflame then proceeded to finally defeat its opponent with a strong Brave Bird. Talonflame then faced Sawyer's {{p|Clawitzer}}, who was able to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} for greater aerial mobility, forcing Talonflame to take evasive actions. Clawitzer was then able to partially freeze Talonflame's wing with Ice Beam, but the Scorching Pokémon used Flame Charge to melt the ice and head toward Clawitzer. A collision between Flame Charge and Aqua Jet, however, knocked Talonflame out while Clawitzer remained standing.<br /> [[File:Ash Talonflame vs Alain Unfezant.png|thumb|left|250px|Talonflame battling Alain's Unfezant]]<br /> Talonflame was used in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]] as Ash's fourth Pokémon, in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]''. It went up against {{p|Unfezant}}. The two Flying-types immediately engaged in a high-speed aerial duel as both attacked each other with Steel Wing, after which they clashed. Talonflame sped itself up with Flame Charge, but Unfezant countered with {{m|Sky Attack}}. Talonflame was then struck by an {{m|Air Slash}}, but it quickly recovered and used Flame Charge to increase its speed to catch up to Unfezant and strike him back. The two bird Pokémon then collided with Brave Bird and Sky Attack, knocking both out simultaneously.<br /> <br /> In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Talonflame, along with Ash and Ash's other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]]. It could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s miniature version of the Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Talonflame and the other Pokémon free with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and a {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} together. Talonflame continued battling Mega Gyarados in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', but while charging towards it using Flame Charge, it was knocked into the air by Stone Edge along with Ash's Greninja. They were then caught by Charizard, but Gyarados slammed them down with Dragon Tail, knocking Talonflame out. In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Talonflame and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received medals from {{an|Professor Sycamore}} for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.<br /> <br /> Ash left Talonflame at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Alola]].<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====<br /> [[File:Ash Gengar with Fire types.png|thumb|250px|Talonflame with Ash's Fire types and Gengar]]<br /> In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Talonflame reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Some time before, Talonflame had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle Moltres.<br /> <br /> Talonflame, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, it helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Talonflame watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Talonflame appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash won the battle, Talonflame joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Talonflame, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN140|Bearing Down Easy!]]'', Talonflame was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it used its Flame Body Ability to thaw Ash, Pikachu, and {{AP|Oshawott}} from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Beartic}}'s ice. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Talonflame assisted Ash in looking for a missing {{p|Charmander}} around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash and Talonflame.png|thumb|left|250px|Talonflame and Ash]]<br /> Prior to being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Fletchling would steal {{pkmn|food}} from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as shown when it took a [[Berry]] from {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. It was also shown to be mischievous as it led the group to a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm. Fletchling also showed a sense of humor by laughing at them after being attacked. After Ash caught Fletchling, it warmed up to the group and became friendly towards them. Compared to the more subdued {{AP|Greninja}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}}, Fletchling tends to be more animated and emotional, puffing its chest out when confident and showing visible shock and tears when upset. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Fletchling became dejected after [[Moria]]'s {{p|Talonflame}} dismissed it as weak. It was also shown in the same episode to be intelligent and resourceful; while Talonflame battled Hawlucha, it studied how Talonflame battled, and used what it learned to evade and defeat the evolved Pokémon later.<br /> <br /> Talonflame is usually used as a scout, in a manner similar to that of [[Ash's Staraptor]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} in previous [[series]]. However, despite not usually being used in battles against other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Talonflame is frequently used in [[Gym]] battles, fighting in all except for Ash's fifth badge. This shows the confidence Ash places in Talonflame's speed and strength. It is safe to assume therefore, that Talonflame is an accomplished battler. Talonflame hasn't shown the same enthusiasm as Hawlucha or Greninja, but when in battle, it becomes focused and determined to defeat its opponent, no matter what the opponent may be, even if at a type disadvantage. Talonflame has also adopted Ash's never give up mentality, as it has taken many hard hitting blows in the past, and always gotten back up. This shows that Talonflame is quite the resilient Pokémon. It also seems to want to prove itself against other Flying types, as it wished to fight Moria's Talonflame to the point of crying in frustration when rejected by it. Both of its evolutions occurring in battles against other Flying-types is further indication of this. In addition, Talonflame is willing to put itself in harm's way to protect its friends. As a Fletchinder in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it intercepted {{p|Moltres}}'s powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to protect Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Greninja as a Frogadier, Trevor, and Trevor's Charmeleon. After evolving, it fought to the point of exhaustion to calm the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', during a [[Double Battle]] with [[Olympia]], Talonflame voluntarily stepped up to cover Greninja as a Frogadier and provide an offensive push for Ash after Greninja was {{status|paralyzed}} by Olympia's {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Noibat flying.png|thumb|250px|Fletchinder teaching Noibat how to fly]]<br /> Talonflame is also humble in defeat. After losing to Greninja as a Froakie when it was a Fletchling, which resulted in its subsequent catch, Talonflame did not sulk or feel sorry for itself. Rather, it shared an [[Oran Berry]] snack with Pikachu and Froakie, symbolizing their new found friendship. Talonflame is loyal to its friends as well, which is show by its constant willingness to search for its friends whenever they get separated from {{ashfr|the group}}. Talonflame seems to have a good relationship with {{an|Bonnie}}, as it took inspiration from her words, which helped it to evolve when a Fletchling. This also shows that Talonflame is not too proud as to refuse advice when given it, and will persist to improve itself. It has also been hinted that Talonflame has become more moralistic, as it showed remorse after being scolded by Bonnie for stealing food from [[wild Pokémon]]. It also enjoys having its wings cleaned by Bonnie, as stated by Ash.<br /> <br /> As shown in ''[[XY076|A Not-So-Flying Start!]]'' Talonflame also has good parental instincts. Upon discovering a [[Pokémon Egg]], Talonflame, as a Fletchinder, used its Flame Body Ability to keep the Egg warm. Once the Egg hatched, and was revealed to be a Noibat, Fletchinder, along with Hawlucha, became Noibat's mentors and began to teach it how to fly. It continued to help Noibat with its flying abilities in ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', which led it to forming a friendship with the Sound Wave Pokémon. Since being left at Professor Oak's lab, Talonflame befriended Ash's Fire types.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Fletchling<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Fletchinder<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Fletchling.png|200px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Fletchinder.png|200px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|flying|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Fletchling Double Team|1=Fletchling Peck|2=Talonflame Steel Wing|3=Talonflame Brave Bird|4=Talonflame Flame Charge|5=Talonflame Razor Wind}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Double Team as a Fletchling|1=Peck as a Fletchling|2=Steel Wing|3=Brave Bird|4=Flame Charge|5=Razor Wind}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Fletchinder Flame Charge|1=Fletchinder Steel Wing|2=Fletchinder Razor Wind|3=Fletchinder Peck|4=Fletchling Steel Wing|5=Fletchling Razor Wind}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Flame Charge as a Fletchinder|1=Steel Wing as a Fletchinder|2=Razor Wind as a Fletchinder|3=Peck as a Fletchinder|4=Steel Wing as a Fletchling|5=Razor Wind as a Fletchling}}}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Double Team|XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!}}<br /> {{anmov|Flying|Peck|XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Razor Wind|XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Steel|Steel Wing|XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Fire|Flame Charge|XY036|Battles in the Sky!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Flying|Brave Bird|XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|flying}}<br /> &lt;!--Do NOT add Flamethrower.

It first aired in Japan on July 14, 2023&lt;!-- and is scheduled to air in the United States on *day*--&gt;.<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> ==Blurb==<br /> Official Blurb from Pokémon.com goes here, with source link--&gt;<br /> &lt;!--Please do not alter the blurb to fix any errors, they are meant to be presented as they are on the official site.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> Aboard the [[Brave Asagi]], [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] learn that their departure to the [[Galar]] [[region]] has been delayed by a system check, as the ship's tail fin is not responding in time. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] reassure the children that system checks like this are common and are made to ensure the ship flies safely. While waiting for the system to reboot, which is due to take about half a day, the team is going to spend time holding a [[picnic]] outside, while [[Ludlow]] stays behind to look after the ship.<br /> <br /> The team moves outside, setting up their picnic table on a seaside cliff near the city of [[Levincia]]. [[Murdock]] fills the table with loads of food, but when Roy tries to take some, [[Orla]] and [[Mollie]] reveal that the food isn't to be eaten as it is; instead, they'll be using the food to make [[sandwich]]es, allowing everyone to make the kind of sandwiches they want. Liko has a hard time deciding what [[ingredient]]s she wants for her sandwich; Roy tries to make a massive sandwich, which ends up falling apart; and [[Friede]] fills his sandwich with nothing but meat. Looking at the people around her, Liko starts reminiscing how she and Roy wound up with them, feeling thankful for having met them. While {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} play with Roy's Ancient [[Poké Ball]], Roy takes a selfie of himself with Liko and their Pokémon and sends it to [[Nidothing|Dot]]. While Liko respects Dot's desire for privacy, she feels Dot and Ludlow are missing out by not being with them. As such, while Roy rushes after a {{p|Wattrel}} that steals Fuecoco's sandwich, she asks Murdock's help in giving Dot and Ludlow a chance to enjoy picnicking too.<br /> <br /> Roy eventually catches up to Wattrel on a cliff, where it, instead of flying away, puts the sandwich down and challenges Roy and Fuecoco. After Fuecoco's {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} proves ineffective against the {{t|Flying}} type, Roy has Fuecoco counter its following {{m|Growl}} attack with its singing, but as the clash of voices just starts driving away the nearby [[wild Pokémon]] and remains in a stalemate, Roy calls off the confrontation. Realizing that Wattrel is hungry, he agrees to give it half the sandwich. Fuecoco also agrees to this, but once Wattrel has eaten its half, it promptly steals the other half too and eats it as well. While heading back, Roy notices a flock of Wattrel flying away, while the Wattrel he faced isn't going with them.<br /> <br /> Aboard the airship, Dot is trying to make a Nidothing video about picnics but fails to stay motivated, so she cuts off the shooting. Having never been on a picnic, she's having a hard time getting into the proper atmosphere. At that moment, she receives a message from Liko, saying they've prepared some sandwiches for her in the meeting room. Feeling hungry, Dot decides to head there, only to find just bread and ingredients, without a single prepared sandwich in sight. Ludlow also enters, having likewise been summoned for this indoor picnic by Liko. Dot is confused as to how just making sandwiches indoors could equate to a picnic, but Ludlow assures her that the setting is not what makes a picnic; it's about sharing experiences with others, and Liko wishes to share this happy experience with Dot. After Ludlow leaves the room, Dot smiles and blushes at not only Liko being kind to her again, but also that she considers Dot her friend.<br /> <br /> Back at the picnic table, Liko and Murdock reunite with the rest of the team after setting up Dot's indoor picnic. Almost immediately, Liko receives a message from Dot and is shocked to see a photo of Nidothing enjoying sandwiches with Ludlow. The rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers, well aware of Dot's internet persona, understand that this is Dot's way of saying thank you. Liko, though, is feeling nervous at the idea of Nidothing being on the ship, but then she remembers the Nidothing costume she saw hanging from the airship [[HZ009|the other day]] and deduces that Dot must've used the costume to make her happy. Friede is surprised that Liko still doesn't understand that Dot and Nidothing are the same person, but Murdock feels it's better to just wait until Dot tells the truth to her. Watching Nidothing's newest video about picnics, the two of them feel that both Dot and Liko have grown thanks to having their new friends. Roy returns to the site, so Friede tells everyone that they'll be heading back now. Along the way, Roy describes his encounter with Wattrel to Liko. He then suddenly stops; unable to stop thinking about Wattrel, he decides to go check on it again. Watching Roy leave, Friede muses to himself that Liko and Dot aren't the only ones who have grown.<br /> <br /> In the group's absence, [[Spinel]] of the [[Explorers]] has arrived near the Brave Asagi and surrounded it with a small army of {{p|Magneton}}. When Friede enters the bridge, he's surprised to notice that the progress bar for the system reboot hasn't advanced at all in their absence.

<p>Pikablu: /* Spinel */</p> <hr /> <div>:''This article is about the group from Pokémon Horizons. For the games, see [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]].''<br /> {{Team Infobox<br /> |teamname=Explorers<br /> |jpteamname=エクスプローラーズ<br /> |tmteamname=Explorers<br /> |image=Explorers Logo.png<br /> |caption=The Explorers logo<br /> |size=250px<br /> |leader=Gibeon<br /> |region=Worldwide<br /> |admins=[[Amethio]], [[Spinel]], [[Hamber]]<br /> |targets=[[Liko]], [[Friede]], [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]<br /> |epnum=HZ001<br /> |epname=<br /> |border color={{ghost color}}<br /> |background color={{ghost color light}}<br /> |lightened color={{ghost color}}<br /> }}<br /> The '''Explorers''' (Japanese: '''エクスプローラーズ''' ''Explorers'') is a mysterious organization that is after [[Liko]]'s pendant, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' sworn enemy, and the main antagonistic organization in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. Its real goals and motivations are currently unknown.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> [[File:Amethio HZ001.png|thumb|left|250px|Amethio battling Friede for the first time]]<br /> The Explorers were introduced in [[HZ001]]. With the goal of obtaining [[Liko]]'s pendant, [[Amethio]] introduced himself as a representative of [[Liko]]'s grandmother, requesting her to return the pendant. When Liko attempted to escape she was chased after, and eventually cornered by, Amethio, [[Zir]], and [[Conia]]. Upon the arrival of [[Friede]], the leader of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], Amethio engaged in a battle with him. Their battle was cut short after Liko's pendant displayed an unknown power that shielded her from an incoming attack, which Friede used as an opportunity to escape with her. Having witnessed the pendant's mysterious power, the Explorers shifted their objective to acquiring both Liko's pendant and Liko herself, believing her to play a key role in the pendant's secrets. <br /> <br /> Following an aerial chase of the Rising Volt Tacklers airship in [[HZ002|the following episode]], they managed to invade their enemy's ship, the [[Brave Asagi]], where another battle between Amethio and Friede ensued. Due to a powerful {{m|Leafage}} from [[Liko's Sprigatito]], the barrier around the battlefield broke, exposing everyone to the ongoing thunderstorm. This forced the Explorers to retreat, but not without taking Sprigatito as a hostage.<br /> <br /> In [[HZ003]], Zir managed to plant a tracker on the Brave Asagi while the ship was docked at the town where the Explorers were hiding out with Sprigatito. In the [[HZ004|next episode]], Amethio conferenced with [[Hamber]], his superior, from his team's submarine. When asked if he had informed [[Gibeon]], the Explorers' leader, about Liko's pendant, Amethio replied that he had not yet done so. The trio then set off to follow the Brave Asagi using the tracker's signal.<br /> <br /> Amethio, Zir and Conia attacked the Rising Volt Tacklers in [[HZ005]] and [[HZ006]], in another major operation meant to steal Liko's pendant. They were forced to retreat when a {{shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared from [[Roy]]'s ancient [[Poké Ball]] after the ball and pendant synced with each other. Later, Amethio was summoned to a meeting of the Explorers' leadership to give a report to Gibeon. Because of Amethio's acting on his own, Gibeon removed him from the mission and instead assigned [[Spinel]] to obtain the pendant. After the meeting, Amethio angrily decided to continue pursuing the Rayquaza, which had disappeared after his team's retreat.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> ===Leaders===<br /> ====Gibeon====<br /> Gibeon is the boss of the Explorers. He is mentioned for the first time in [[HZ004]] and his voice is first heard in [[HZ006]]. He has yet to make a physical appearance in the series.<br /> <br /> His subordinates hold him in high, almost reverential regard, typically referring to him as &quot;Master Gibeon,&quot; behaving in a highly deferential way when in his presence, and identifying the Explorers as &quot;only existing to fulfill&quot; his wishes.<br /> <br /> ====Hamber====<br /> [[File:Hanbell anime.png|thumb|250px|Hamber]]<br /> {{main|Hamber}}<br /> Hamber debuted in [[HZ004]], receiving progress reports from [[Amethio]] and his subordinates.<br /> <br /> ====Admins====<br /> [[File:Explorers Admins.png|250px|thumb|Explorers Administrators]]<br /> <br /> ======Amethio======<br /> {{main|Amethio}}<br /> The very first admin in the Explorers to be introduced in the series, appearing in [[HZ001]].<br /> <br /> ======Spinel======<br /> [[File:Spinel.png|250px|thumb|Spinel]]<br /> Spinel first appeared in HZ006 when he was in a meeting with the other Explorers Admins. Upon seeing Amethio's flaws, Spinel starts gaslighting him, believing whether or not he actually saw the black Rayquaza. Afterwards, both Amethio and Spinel's squabbles were interrupted by Hamber. Later, Gibeon decided to give Spinel the mission to investigate the Rising Volt Tacklers.<br /> <br /> &lt;!--The second admin in the Explorers to be introduced in the series, appearing in HZ000.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Agents===<br /> ====Conia====<br /> {{main|Conia}}<br /> <br /> ====Zir====<br /> {{main|Zir}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Technology==<br /> ===Gadgets===<br /> * In [[HZ002]], the trio used their watches to change into the organization's standard uniform.<br /> * In [[HZ003]], [[Zir]] planted an tracker in the husk of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' airship.

Delia refers to it by the affectionate [[nickname]] '''Mimey''' (Japanese: '''バリちゃん''' ''Barri-chan''). It is the twelfth overall {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that Ash obtained in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. During ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Mimey stayed with Ash at the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. It usually stays [[Walking Pokémon|outside its Poké Ball]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> ====[[Original series]]====<br /> [[File:Delia and Mimey.png|thumb|250px|left|Mimey and Delia]]<br /> Mimey debuted in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first saw Mimey using its {{t|Psychic}} powers to climb an invisible barrier that it created. Ash wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but a ringmaster named [[Stella]] wanted to catch it as well to inspire another {{p|Mr. Mime}} that worked on her circus. In the chaos, Mimey got away. {{an|Brock}} decided to help and had Ash dress as a Mr. Mime to help instead. When {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} went to the circus, they found out about the plan. When the {{pkmn2|wild}} Mr. Mime Ash and his friends saw earlier came to her door, Delia thought it was Ash in costume, and provided it with food. When the real Ash showed up, still in costume, she was quite puzzled. It then teamed up with Delia to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing all the Pokémon in Stella's circus. Ever since then, Delia has adopted it and affectionately [[nickname]]d it &quot;Mimey&quot;. It was officially captured by Ash sometime offscreen after this.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Mimey helped stop Team Rocket from getting away with {{AP|Pikachu}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... The Ambassador!]]'', Mimey served food to the Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] working on the construction of a new lake.<br /> <br /> From ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'' onwards, Mimey and Delia watched Ash's participation in the [[Silver Conference]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====<br /> [[File:Ash and Mimey.png|thumb|250px|Mimey and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Mimey helped ward off [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', Mimey helped save the life of a {{p|Charmander}} that had fallen into a lake using {{m|Psychic}} to pluck it and {{Tracey}} out of the water.<br /> <br /> An ill Mimey appeared in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', being tended to by Delia as they watched Ash's battles in the [[Ever Grande Conference]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', Mimey greeted Ash during his return to [[Pallet Town]] from [[Hoenn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Mimey was seen sweeping Ash's house before answering the door for {{an|May}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]'', Mimey welcomed Ash back to Oak's lab.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''====<br /> In ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', Mimey was overjoyed to see Ash and Pikachu return to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''====<br /> [[File:Mimey SM anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Mimey on vacation in [[Alola]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', Mimey joined Ash and Delia on their holiday to [[Alola]], where it was revealed that it was responsible for winning their tickets.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', Mimey accompanied Delia back to Alola. The two visited the [[Pokémon School]] during the Visiting Day.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', Mimey welcomed Ash back when he, {{ashcl}}, [[Samson Oak]], and {{an|Professor Kukui}} arrived in Pallet Town.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'', Mimey accompanied Delia to Alola so they could watch Ash perform in the school play and videoed the play.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'' and ''[[SM139|Enter the Champion!]]'', Mimey accompanied Delia and Professor Oak to Alola so they could watch and record Ash as he competed against {{an|Gladion}} during the [[Manalo Conference]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', the closing ceremony of the Manalo Conference was disrupted by the appearance of a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Mimey accompanied Delia and Professor Oak as they tried to leave, only for a {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} to block their way. However, it was quickly seen off by Professor Kukui and Ash.<br /> <br /> From ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' to ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]'', Mimey watched the full {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} between Ash and Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash Riolu training.png|thumb|250px|Mimey helping Riolu train]]<br /> In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', Mimey traveled with Delia, Ash, and Professor Oak to [[Vermilion City]] to attend the opening of the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. After Ash and his new friend [[Goh]] encountered a {{p|Lugia}} and reported this to [[Professor Cerise]], Cerise decided to make Ash and Goh his new research assistants and gave them a room at the lab. Delia then decided to leave Mimey at the lab so it could watch over Ash.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Mimey led a session of {{wp|Kung fu (term)|kung fu}} exercises for Goh, [[Chloe]], and Professor Cerise. Later, Ash was revealed to have added Mimey to his [[party]] in preparation for the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]], much to Goh's surprise. It was used to battle [[Hodge]]'s {{p|Hariyama}} in the finals and easily won. When Hodge sent out his {{p|Mightyena}} next, Mimey immediately refused to battle it, forcing Ash to switch it with Pikachu.<br /> <br /> Ash used Mimey as {{AP|Riolu}}'s {{pkmn|training}} partner in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'' and ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]''.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]'', Mimey was reunited with Delia when she came by to visit Ash. However, as Delia left, Mimey learned that Pikachu, who had been feeling neglected by Ash lately, was planning on leaving with her and tried to stop him. When Pikachu refused, Mimey decided to accompany him to Pallet Town. During their journey, Mimey was attacked by a group of {{p|Spearow}}, but Pikachu saved it by using Thunderbolt. By the time they arrived in Pallet Town, Pikachu had changed his mind and turned back to return to Ash, only to find out that Ash had come to Pallet Town looking for him.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Mimey was seen watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN119]], Mimey and [[Chrysa]] gave a presentation at [[Cerise Laboratory]] about the &quot;Seven Wonders of the Laboratory&quot;; the theme of the presentation was about [[Chloe's Eevee]] and [[Eeveelutions|her evolved forms]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Mimey appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN136|These Could be the Starts of Something Big!]]'', Mimey attended a surprise party hosted by the Lab members commemorating Ash and Goh's departure, during which it posed for a group photo. After the party, Mimey returned to Pallet Town with Delia.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Delia Mimey.png|thumb|left|220px|Delia taking care of a [[Illness in the Pokémon world|sick]] Mimey]]<br /> At first, Mimey only listened to Delia and if anyone else gave it orders or asked it to do something, it normally ignored them unless told otherwise by Delia. It greatly enjoys doing the household chores around the Ketchum home and does not like sharing its job with others. When Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} returned to Pallet Town following their journey through the [[Orange Archipelago]], it was revealed that {{an|Brock}} and Mimey had become rather competitive regarding household tasks while the two of them were sharing the house with Delia. It is also protective of Delia's property and will quickly spring into action to defend it, as seen in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' where it used {{m|Light Screen}} to keep {{TRT}} from trampling her garden. As shown in ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Mimey can perform tasks such as cleaning and vacuuming by pantomiming. It was later shown &quot;eating&quot; with Ash and Goh by pretending to peel and eat a banana.<br /> [[File:Mimey pantomiming.png|thumb|250px|Mimey &quot;eating&quot;]]<br /> Ash was somewhat envious of Delia's affection for Mimey; Delia once described it as more polite and helpful compared to Ash. He also became annoyed when Delia took its side after it had woken him up by using the vacuum on his face. Despite this, Ash and Mimey are on good terms, with Mimey happily accepting Ash's friendly greetings on his return trips to Pallet Town. Ash in particular is glad that Delia has Mimey as a housemate, as while he is on his journey, his mother will have company at home and will never be lonely.<br /> <br /> In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Ash was revealed to be a good partner for Mimey in [[Pokémon battle]]s as well. In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Ash was able to take advantage of Mimey's unusual flexibility and defensive capabilities to withstand the assault of [[Hodge]]'s {{p|Hariyama}} in the finals of the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. However, Mimey is not as reliable as some of Ash's regular Pokémon, as shown as when it immediately called it quits after their first victory as a team. As revealed in a caption in [[JN128]], Mimey sees [[Ash's Lucario]] as his pupil and prides himself for that, as they often trained together while the latter still was a newborn {{p|Riolu}}. In addition, Mimey tends to be the voice of reason whenever there is conflict.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|fairy|Mimey {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Barrier|1=Light Screen|2=DoubleSlap}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Barrier|1=Light Screen|2=Double Slap}}|image2=Mimey {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Psychic|1=Focus Punch|2=Reflect}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Psychic|1=Focus Punch|2=Reflect}}}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Barrier|EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Light Screen|EP116|The Rivalry Revival}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Double Slap|HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Psychic|HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!{{tt|*|First used in the main series in JN007}}|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Focus Punch|JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Reflect|JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|fairy}}<br /> <br /> ===Artwork===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{fairy color dark}}; background: #{{psychic color}}; font-size:80%;&quot;<br /> |- <br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{fairy color light}}&quot; | [[File:Pokémon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master poster.png|x250px]]<br /> |-<br /> | Poster for the Japanese version of&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master}}''<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> ====[[Pokémon Ga-Olé]]====<br /> Mimey appears in [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] as one of Ash's Pokémon.

It first aired in Japan on April 14, 2023 as a one-hour special alongside [[HZ001]]&lt;!-- and is scheduled to air in the United States on *day*--&gt;.<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> ==Blurb==<br /> Official Blurb from Pokémon.com goes here, with source link--&gt;<br /> &lt;!--Please do not alter the blurb to fix any errors, they are meant to be presented as they are on the official site.--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> Picking up from the end of the [[HZ001|previous episode]], [[Liko]] suddenly finds herself surrounded by a green sphere of energy created by her pendant. Looking around, she spots a strange Pokémon floating in the air in front of her. After a few seconds, the Pokémon transforms back into her pendant and the sphere disappears, causing Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} to start falling. Fortunately, [[Friede]] and his {{p|Charizard}} save her in the nick of time. With all the crazy things that have happened to her over the course of the night, Liko feels like a new chapter has just begun in her life. Friede tells [[Amethio]] that they have to continue their {{pkmn|battle}} some other time and has Charizard fly away. Looking at the endless night sky, Liko feels she was only able to take the leap of faith that led her to this moment thanks to Sprigatito being by her side and takes a moment to compliment her {{pkmn2|Starter|partner}}. Behind them, Amethio, [[Zir]], and [[Conia]] call out a {{p|Corviknight}} and a pair of {{p|Skarmory}} to continue their pursuit.<br /> <br /> With her initial rush of excitement wearing off, Liko starts freaking out with how many unexplained things have happened to her, including being saved by a man whom she doesn't even know yet. She tries to ask for him to drop her off, only for them to start approaching a massive airship named Brave Asagi. A battlefield-like structure called the Wing Deck comes together at the back of the ship, allowing Charizard to land. Friede is approached by [[Murdock]] and [[Mollie]]. When Liko questions who they are, they berate Friede for leaving her in the dark and bringing her along without telling her anything. They're then approached by a {{p|Fuecoco}} and a {{p|Pawmi}}, which Liko recognizes as being from her home [[region]] of [[Paldea]]. Murdock explains that these Pokémon settled down with them during their travels, along with a group of other Pokémon from other regions. Seeing that these Pokémon seem comfortable around these people, Liko figures they are most likely not bad guys. She's momentarily mesmerized by the cuteness of seeing Sprigatito playing with the other Pokémon but quickly refocuses her attention on what's important. However, before she can ask any questions, Friede learns that the three people from before are still after them, while Mollie informs him that [[Orla]] has detected a huge stormcloud on their path. Friede tells {{p|Noctowl}} to be on the lookout and asks Mollie to watch after Liko as he leaves for the wheelhouse and sends Charizard to help Orla in the engine room.<br /> <br /> Before Liko and Mollie can head downstairs, a blackout cuts the power to the elevator. Just then, Noctowl alerts them that their pursuers are approaching. Using a telescope, Mollie recognizes them as the notorious [[Explorers]] group. In the wheelhouse, Friede takes over the helm from the ship's captain, Captain {{p|Pikachu}}, and decides to steer them into the incoming stormcloud to hopefully shake off their pursuers. Amethio, however, refuses to give up and orders the Explorers to use the ship to shield themselves from the wind. They're soon at the Wing Deck, which Mollie is unable to retract due to the blackout, so she heads outside to try to retract it manually, leaving Liko to watch after the Pokémon. Leaving the wheel to Murdock, Friede, and Captain Pikachu head outside as well, picking up Charizard from the engine room along the way. Unfortunately for Mollie, she's unable to retract the Wing Deck before the Explorers break through the barrier surrounding it. Freaking out, Liko starts feeling like [[Breaking the fourth wall|she's the heroine in some story]]. Looking at the scared Pokémon, she feels guilty about them being caught in the crossfire, all because of the pendant her grandmother gave to her.<br /> <br /> The Explorers enter the airship and find Liko. Amethio asks her why she fled, along with if she can truly trust her rescuers, and what her pendant's glow was about. While she doesn't know the answer to any of those questions, she's sure that she can't trust the Explorers. Sprigatito lunges at them, but Zir easily holds it back. Liko tells them to let Sprigatito go, being ready to surrender herself to them as long as they leave the Pokémon alone. Amethio agrees to this, feeling that since Liko is clearly a part of the pendant's secret as well, they'll be taking her in addition to it. However, they don't make it further than the Wing Deck before Friede swoops in with Charizard, promising to protect Liko and Sprigatito. Friede and Amethio properly introduce themselves to each other, with Friede presenting himself as the leader of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Refusing to let them take Liko, Friede agrees to continue their earlier battle, though this time, instead of Charizard, he chooses to use Captain Pikachu against Amethio's {{p|Ceruledge}}, which Amethio scoffs at. Pikachu makes the first move with {{m|Thunder Punch}}, which Ceruledge blocks without issue. Pikachu follows up with {{m|Double Team}}. Ceruledge deals with the copies with a flurry of {{m|Psycho Cut}}s, before attempting to attack the real one with {{m|Bitter Blade}}, only for it to turn out to be a copy too. The real Pikachu is standing at the top of the airship and summons down a big thunderbolt to strike himself. Powered up thanks to the lightning bolt, Pikachu slams into Ceruledge with a powerful {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br /> <br /> When Amethio has Ceruledge fight back with Psycho Cut, the attack gets deflected and strikes the room where all the Pokémon are. Not wanting anyone to be hurt anymore, Liko tells them to stop the battle, ready to follow through with her surrender. She's sure Sprigatito is feeling the same way, until suddenly, the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} jumps off her arms and starts crying out to her in a determined manner. Seeing her partner's refusal to surrender, Liko realizes she's been lying to herself and stands up to Amethio. With all the confidence she can muster, she orders Sprigatito to use {{m|Leafage}}. The [[move|attack]] erupts out of Sprigatito with such intensity that both Friede and Amethio are left in shock at its power, while Liko feels happy to have finally succeeded in using a proper move with her partner. However, the attack also breaks the barrier surrounding the Wing Deck, allowing the stormy winds to blow in.

<p>Pikablu: Undo revision 3699427 by FinnishPokéFan92 (talk)that’s a fourth wall joke</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Rowlet Fourth Wall Break SM055.png|thumb|250px|{{AP|Rowlet}} literally breaking the fourth wall]]<br /> &quot;'''Breaking the {{wp|fourth wall}}'''&quot; refers to a point at which a character acknowledges that they are fictional. In the [[Pokémon|Pokémon franchise]], several characters appear to break the &quot;fourth wall&quot; in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and in the {{pkmn|games}}.<br /> <br /> There are several ways of breaking the fourth wall; examples include when characters refer to a particular episode or season, when characters stop others from performing an occult or criminal act by referring to the fact that it is a &quot;children's show&quot;, when characters respond to a real world person who is not physically present (such as the [[narrator]]), when characters talk to the viewer or player directly rather than to their in-game avatar, or when characters crash into the screen and either slide down from it or cause it to crack from impact.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> ===[[Core series]]===<br /> * [[Trainer Tips]] signs and message boards provide advice to the player in using the game's control scheme. Similar instructions are also given by NPCs, such as the player's [[mother]], the regional [[Pokémon Professor]], and NPCs telling the player that they are [[Save|saving]].<br /> * In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a sign on {{Rt|17|Kanto}} that says &quot;Don't throw the game, throw [[Poké Ball]]s instead!&quot;.<br /> * The [[Game Freak]] office can be found in [[Celadon City]], [[Castelia City]] and [[Heahea City]]. The characters there will announce their role in the game when the {{player}} speaks to them:<br /> ** &quot;I'm the game designer!&quot;<br /> ** &quot;I wrote the story!&quot;<br /> ** &quot;I'm the graphic artist! I drew you!&quot; or &quot;I'm the graphic designer! I'm a skilled dot artist!&quot;<br /> ** &quot;Me? I'm the programmer!&quot;.<br /> ** In addition, examining the computers gives the message &quot;It's the game program! [[Cheating|Messing with it]] could [[glitch|bug out]] the game!&quot;<br /> * In the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], a staff member receives an email stating Game Freak's desire of linking at worldwide level without link cable barriers.<br /> * In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a {{tc|Black Belt}} on {{rt|215|Sinnoh}} mentions real life before giving away a {{tm|66|Payback}}.<br /> * In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Game Freak designer and programmer [[Shigeki Morimoto]] appears as the NPC {{tc|GAME FREAK}} Morimoto in [[Circhester]]'s Hotel Ionia. A Game Freak director also appears in the hotel room next to Morimoto.<br /> <br /> ===Spin-off games===<br /> ====[[Pokémon Masters EX]]====<br /> * Upon reaching his maximum level, {{mas|James}} will say, &quot;Nothing can stop us now! Not even the writers!&quot;<br /> <br /> ====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]====<br /> * In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], both {{OBP|Sunflora|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and {{OBP|Bidoof|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} break the fourth wall at 4th entry of their diaries, mentioning the Y and A buttons, respectively.<br /> * During the post-game of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{OBP|Hydreigon|Gates to Infinity}} senses something and leans towards the screen, indicating he's sensing the player's presence. This is confirmed later at the [[Worldcore|Hill of Universal Order]], where Hydreigon and player's partner turn to look at the screen, realizing that the player has been watching them the whole time.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon Ranger series====<br /> * At the beginning of the first {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} game, when explaining the control style of the game, an NPC says that he uses the stylus instead of the D-pad because he is from the &quot;touch generation&quot;. This is a reference to [[Nintendo]]'s {{wp|Touch! Generations}} line of games for casual gamers, which were brand new at the time of Pokémon Ranger's release.<br /> * During the ending of the first official mission in the first Pokémon Ranger game, [[Professor Hastings]] knows the game options exist by saying, &quot;By options, I don't mean fooling with some text settings, I mean consider what we might do!&quot;<br /> * In the mission that introduces [[Sven]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] there are many [[Team Dim Sun]] goons taking Dark Shards from [[Chroma Ruins]]. Sven explains that to make them leave the place, a {{p|Skuntank|Pokémon that produces a horrible stench}} is needed. Then, he turns to the screen and says &quot;you know what I mean?&quot;<br /> ** Also, after capturing the hypnotized Pokémon of a couple of Dim Sun Admins in [[Almia Castle]], said Admins make a comment about how they were not given names, not even &quot;Admin A&quot; or &quot;Admin B&quot;.<br /> * At the end of the {{p|Heatran}} Mission in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the [[Capture Styler]] breaks the fourth wall, telling the player themselves to wait a moment during [[Nema]]'s explanation of how Heatran learned {{m|Eruption}}.<br /> <br /> ====[[Pokémon Rumble series]]====<br /> * In [[Pokémon Rumble World]], if the [[Toy Pokémon]] in use does not have a second move, pressing B will cause it to look up at the screen for a couple of seconds.<br /> ** In the castle courtyard, pressing A will cause it to look out at the screen as before, while pressing B will cause it to jump up and down.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon Play It!====<br /> In both [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} often talks directly to the player and explains various aspects of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the fourth wall has been broken numerous times. Most of these examples are from the English dub. The most common characters to do this are {{TRT}}.<br /> <br /> ===[[Original series]]===<br /> {| style=&quot;background: #{{red color light}}; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; {{roundy|10px}} border: 3px solid #{{red color light}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background: #{{green color light}}; {{roundytl|10px}}&quot;| Episode<br /> ! style=&quot;background: #{{green color light}}; {{roundytr|10px}}&quot;| Details<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #fff&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;|''[[EP009|School of Hard Knocks]]''<br /> | While breaking up an argument between {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}} comments that they're running late and have to start the show.<br /> |-style=&quot;background: #fff&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;|''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''<br /> |The [[narrator]] asks Ash to name his Pokémon, which Ash does.<br /> |-style=&quot;background: #fff&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;|''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''<br /> | [[James]] says ''&quot;Drat!

As soon as he and [[Goh]] encountered it, the latter attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it but failed, even when trying to battle it with his Kantonian {{TP|Goh|Farfetch'd}}. Afterwards, Ash battled the Galarian Farfetch'd with his {{AP|Riolu}} and managed to defeat it. After Farfetch'd had been healed in a [[Pokémon Center]], Ash saw its eagerness to have more battles and asked if it wanted to come along with him, which it agreed to.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Farfetch'd was the first Pokémon that Ash used in his [[World Coronation Series]] battle against [[Bea]] and her {{p|Hawlucha}} at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Despite putting up a tough fight, Farfetch'd found it difficult to keep up with Hawlucha's speed, and it was ultimately defeated.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', Ash used Farfetch'd in a World Coronation Series battle against [[Dozer]] and his {{p|Gurdurr}} at [[Rock Tunnel]]. Despite Gurdurr's formidable physical strength, Farfetch'd eventually emerged victorious, increasing Ash's ranking. Soon after, Ash was challenged by [[Rinto]] and his {{p|Gallade}}. Gallade easily dodged all of Farfetch'd attacks before using {{m|False Swipe}} on it, taking it down without actually making it [[fainting|faint]].<br /> [[File:Castle of Chivalry Knight Medals.png|thumb|250px|Farfetch'd and Ash with their Knight Medals]]<br /> In ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Farfetch'd accompanied Ash to [[Kalos]] in order to take on [[Elite Four]] member [[Wikstrom]]'s [[Castle of Chivalry]] training course, along with [[Goh]] and his {{TP|Goh|Scyther}}. During the course's second challenge, a booby-trapped maze, Farfetch'd fell into a trap hole, and although Ash pulled it up, it dropped its leek. Ash jumped down into the hole and managed to return the leek to Farfetch'd. In the third challenge, Farfetch'd took on Wikstrom's {{p|Aegislash}}, while Ash himself engaged Wikstrom in a swordfight. When Ash started to get overpowered, Farfetch'd remembered Ash's selflessness while retrieving its leek and defended him from Wikstrom's sword, at the cost of taking a hit from Aegislash's {{m|Sacred Sword}}. However, Farfetch'd was then able to evade a second Sacred Sword using its newly learned {{m|Detect}}. Farfetch'd then followed through by hitting Aegislash with {{m|Brutal Swing}} and was prepared to attack again when Ash told it to stop as Goh and Scyther were able to retrieve the key and win the challenge.<br /> [[File:Ash Farfetch'd leek shield.png|thumb|left|250px|Farfetch'd using its broken leek as a sword and shield]]<br /> In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', Farfetch'd battled Rinto and his Gallade in a World Coronation Series match. During the battle, Gallade sliced off the top of Farfetch'd's leek, shocking the Wild Duck Pokémon. Ash was able to overcome this setback by having Farfetch'd mimic Wikstrom's Aegislash and use the cut-off part of its leek as a shield and wielding the remaining part like a sword. With this tactic, Farfetch'd was eventually able to land several [[critical hit]]s on Gallade and evolve into Sirfetch'd as a result. Despite Rinto having Gallade activate {{a|Justified}} to boost his {{stat|attack}} power, Sirfetch'd was still able to overpower Gallade and defeat him, raising Ash's ranking.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the third Pokémon sent out to battle Bea during Ash's second World Coronation Series [[rematch]] against her. It briefly battled her {{p|Machamp}}, blocking a flurry of attacks before outmaneuvering it and dealing [[damage]]. Machamp was subsequently recalled for Hawlucha, who easily avoided Sirfetch'd's attacks and defeated it with {{m|Sky Attack}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the first Pokémon Ash used in the [[Raid Battle (GO)#In the anime|Raid Battle]] against {{p|Articuno}}, only for it to be immediately defeated by a {{m|Blizzard}} after being released from its {{i|Poké Ball}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', while Ash was visiting the [[Lumiose Gym]], Sirfetch'd was shown to be on the verge of mastering a new move, which {{an|Clemont}} identified as its [[signature move]], {{m|Meteor Assault}}. With inadvertent help from {{AP|Dracovish}}, Sirfetch'd was able to master the move, and subsequently used it to defeat [[Clemont's Luxray]] in a practice battle.<br /> [[File:Ash and Sirfetch'd.png|thumb|250px|Sirfetch'd and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Sirfetch'd was the first Pokémon Ash used in his World Coronation Series match against [[Drasna]]. Sirfetch'd was able to quickly land a Brutal Swing before temporarily losing its shield and sword. Sirfetch'd then proceeded to take powerful attacks from Noivern before it was able to reclaim its sword and shield and deal some damage to Drasna's {{p|Noivern}} with Meteor Assault before Ash chose to recall it. He later sent it back out to face Drasna's {{me|Altaria}}, whom it was able to defeat with Meteor Assault before succumbing to the damage it had already taken and fainting as well. Despite this, it still reemerged from its Poké Ball to cheer for Dracovish for the rest of the battle.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', Ash visited Pallet Town and introduced his Pokémon to his new friends that he caught during his journey around the world, including Sirfetch'd. During the visit, Sirfetch'd trained with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Sceptile}}, and {{AP|Oshawott}}. Sirfetch'd then watched Ash's battle against [[Paul]], where he emerged victorious. Before Ash left his hometown, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN124|Valor: A Strategic Part of Battling!]]'', Sirfetch'd was Ash's fifth Pokémon in his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Cynthia}}. It was sent out against {{p|Milotic}}, taking damage from {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}'s {{m|Stealth Rock}} immediately upon entering the battle. Ash cleverly had it use Brutal Swing to eliminate the Stealth Rocks, before proceeding to defeat Milotic with a powerful Meteor Assault. It subsequently clashed with Garchomp, but despite landing a powerful Meteor Assault to damage the opponent, it ended up fainting while still standing up.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN130|Toying With Your Motions!]]'', Ash chose Sirfetch'd as his third Pokémon in his Masters Eight Tournament battle against {{an|Leon}}. At first, the Wild Duck Pokémon couldn't do much against {{p|Mr. Rime}}, as it proved to be dexterous with its cane and agile in the ice-covered battlefield, even managing to land a super effective, [[terrain]]-boosted {{m|Expanding Force}}. Eventually, it managed to undo the {{m|Psychic Terrain}} by striking the ground continuously with Fury Cutter and was then recalled in favor of {{AP|Lucario}}. It was sent back out in [[JN131|the next episode]] to face Leon's {{p|Rillaboom}}. Despite fighting as hard as it could and landing Meteor Assault, Sirfetch'd was eventually defeated by the {{pkmn|category|Drummer Pokémon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Sirfetch'd appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash had won the battle, Sirfetch'd joined him and the rest of his team for the awards ceremony.<br /> <br /> Ash left Sirfetch'd along with the rest of his ''Journeys'' team at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] sometime prior to [[JN137]], as he decided he wanted to start rotating his team for his new journey.<br /> <br /> In [[JN143]], Sirfetch'd was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it helped in freeing a trapped {{p|Wailmer}}. Despite Wailmer evolving into a {{p|Wailord}} and getting stuck again, they were able to free the Float Whale Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash and Goh Farfetch'd.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Farfetch'd, facing its regional form]]<br /> Sirfetch'd is a very prideful Pokémon, tending to engage others in {{pkmn|battle}} in order to hone its skills. Even when it is at the brink of defeat, it refuses to give up, pushing its body to the absolute limit, which sometimes results in it fainting while still standing. Upon seeing {{Ash}} sharing the same battling spirit and passion, it agreed to join his [[Party|team]], after he offered to help it grow stronger, and it immediately resumed training with {{AP|Riolu}} after its capture.<br /> <br /> As shown in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', Sirfetch'd, as a Farfetch'd, generally acted cold and aloof towards its Trainer–even attacking Ash with its leek–and was only interested in working towards its goal of becoming a Leek Master. It was even seen rushing into battle against Ash's orders, particularly when it is engrossed in a fight. While its raw power was enough to defeat [[Dozer]]'s {{p|Gurdurr}}, it was completely outmatched by [[Rinto]] and {{p|Gallade}}, who were completely in sync with each other. <br /> [[File:Ash Dracovish biting leek.png|thumb|250px|Sirfetch'd and Dracovish]]<br /> However, during [[Wikstrom]]'s [[Castle of Chivalry]] challenge in ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', Farfetch'd started to bond with Ash when he saved it from falling and retrieved its leek for it. Seeing Ash's selflessness, Farfetch'd later defended him from Wikstrom's sword, choosing his safety over a battle victory. Upon evolving, Sirfetch'd began displaying a much more chivalrous and gallant demeanor, as seen when it protected its Trainer from a puddle being splashed by a passing truck while returning from their battle with Rinto. Its swordsmanship has also become much more precise, to the point where it could use the tip of its leek to slice open a letter, as seen in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]''.<br /> <br /> As a Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd appeared to have a mutual rivalry with [[Goh's Farfetch'd|Goh's Kantonian Farfetch'd]]. While the two are normally friendly to each other, they were prone to bickering, which leads to them clashing with their leeks. In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Sirfetch'd developed a close friendship with [[Ash's Dracovish]], after the Fossil Pokémon inadvertently helped it master {{m|Meteor Assault}}. This was shown again in the [[JN104|following episode]], where it came out of its Poké Ball to cheer Dracovish on during a tough battle.<br /> <br /> Sirfetch'd is able to utilize its shield in a variety of ways, the most common one being to block attacks. It has also been shown to throw it as a projectile, glide on it in the air, and surf on it in the water.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fighting||Ash Farfetch'd {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Night Slash|1=Brutal Swing|2=Fury Cutter|3=Focus Energy|4=Detect}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Night Slash|1=Brutal Swing|2=Fury Cutter|3=Focus Energy|4=Detect}}&lt;br&gt;as a Farfetch'd|image2=Ash Sirfetch'd {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Night Slash|1=Brutal Swing|2=Fury Cutter|3=Meteor Assault|4=Detect}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Night Slash|1=Brutal Swing|2=Fury Cutter|3=Meteor Assault|4=Detect}}}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Night Slash|JN027|Toughing It Out!}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Brutal Swing|JN027|Toughing It Out!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|bug|Fury Cutter|JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Focus Energy|JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Detect|JN056|Searching for Chivalry!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Meteor Assault|JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|fighting}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fighting color}}; border: 3px solid #{{fighting color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Ash Sirfetch'd Brutal Swing 2.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]''<br /> | {{m|Brutal Swing}}<br /> | None<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' Sirfetch'd uses Brutal Swing to throw its shield like a boomerang at the opponent, hitting the target from far away.

Later that night, he ran back to the carnival to buy it, but he was too late; the carnival was already packing up. He was very disappointed, believing he missed his chance at getting what he had called his &quot;first love&quot;.<br /> <br /> James finally {{pkmn2|caught}} himself a Chimecho in ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]''. While attending the [[Fortree City]] [[Feather Carnival]], James came across the [[Magikarp salesman]] selling strange-looking Chimecho. He was narrowly tricked into buying one, but it later turned out to be a {{p|Hoppip}} disguised as a Chimecho, and it flew away. Depressed by losing his chance again, James was instantly cheered up when a real Chimecho flew up to him, [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}}, using its {{m|Heal Bell}} technique on them. James asked Chimecho if it wanted to be his Pokémon, and it agreed, {{m|Wrap}}ping itself around his head in excitement. It later used its {{m|Heal Bell}} to restore Team Rocket's health during an encounter with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.<br /> [[File:James Chimecho Lilycove Contest..png|thumb|220px|Chimecho in the Lilycove Contest]]<br /> In ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove]]'', Jessie borrowed Chimecho to use in the [[Lilycove City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], it first used Heal Bell, but Jessie subsequently abused it by grabbing its tail, causing Chimecho to use {{m|Astonish}} instead. However, [[Contest Judge|the judges]] admired the contrast in sound and gave Jessie a perfect score, placing Jessie among the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s moving on to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, Chimecho was pitted against [[May's Combusken]], ultimately using {{m|Double-Edge}}, causing Chimecho to faint from [[recoil]] damage. Throughout the Contest, James was extremely worried about Chimecho and expressed much discontent over its suffering. [[AG114|Another time]], James whispered to Chimecho that it should have flown away when Team Rocket was about to stage an attack.<br /> <br /> =====Kanto=====<br /> In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', James left Chimecho with the housekeepers of his old vacation home near [[Saffron City]], [[Nanny and Pop-Pop]], after it came down with a bad {{DL|Illness in the Pokémon world|fever}}. He said he planned to return for it when it heals.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> Chimecho appeared in a fantasy in ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', after James saw [[Francesca]]'s {{p|Chingling}}. He even took one of the three stolen Bell Pokémon and battled it with {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} in order to make it evolve into a new Chimecho. Unfortunately for him, Ash and {{ashfr}} managed to get the Chingling back before that could happen.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> [[File:James worried about Chimecho.png|thumb|220px|James worried about Chimecho]]<br /> Chimecho appeared in a fantasy in [[JN145]] when Team Rocket reminisced about their old Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> James adored his Chimecho, and it was often seen out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}, either floating near James or being held in his arms. Its melodic voice instantly placated situations between the trio whenever they argued. It had a place in the Team Rocket {{motto}} after {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. Despite this, James refused to put Chimecho in any sort of danger, particularly battles. However, it did heal the trio's Pokémon, as well as [[Jessie]] and James, with {{m|Heal Bell}} during battles.<br /> <br /> Chimecho's personality is cheerful and upbeat. Though this irritated Jessie and {{MTR}}, James appreciated Chimecho's soothing nature. It was sometimes overly affectionate, like {{TP|James|Carnivine}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. In those cases, it would wrap its tail around James, making him unable to see. It deeply cares for James, as seen during its tearful goodbye in ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]''.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic||James Chimecho {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Heal Bell|1=Double-Edge|2=Astonish 1|3=Astonish 2|4=Wrap}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Heal Bell|1=Double-Edge|2=Astonish|3=Astonish|4=Wrap}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Wrap|AG084|Who's Flying Now?}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Heal Bell|AG084|Who's Flying Now?}}<br /> {{anmov|ghost|Astonish|AG091|Lessons in Lilycove}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Double-Edge|AG091|Lessons in Lilycove{{tt|*|First mentioned in AG084}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> <br /> ===Artwork===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{psychic color light}}; font-size:80%;&quot;<br /> |- <br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{psychic color light}}&quot;| [[File:PK14 JP poster.png|150px]]<br /> |-<br /> | Official artwork from&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire}}''<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:James Chimecho AP.png|thumb|200px|Chimecho in [[Ash &amp; Pikachu]]]]<br /> ===Ash &amp; Pikachu===<br /> Chimecho briefly appears along with {{TRT}} in ''[[SP30|The Birth Of The Invincible Team, Max And Ralts!!]]'', where they spy on [[Max]] as he is taking care of a sick {{p|Ralts}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Chimecho is the only Pokémon Jessie or James have kept in their active party to have never battled against {{Ash}}, though it did battle against one of {{ashfr}}.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Animespecies|Chimecho}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Team Rocket's Pokémon|psychic}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:James's Pokémon|Chimecho]]<br /> [[Category:Ash &amp; Pikachu characters]]<br /> <br /> [[de:James’ Palimpalim]]<br /> [[es:Chimecho de James]]<br /> [[fr:Éoko de James]]<br /> [[it:Chimecho di James]]<br /> [[ja:コジロウのチリーン]]<br /> [[zh:小次郎的风铃铃]]</div>

Additionally, the World Coronation Series page also lists &quot;Monarch&quot; as the term used in the Japanese version.<br /> <br /> However, I do know that Ash has been referred to as &quot;Champion&quot; in the Japanese version in regards to his win in the WCS (as opposed to his title of Alola Champion). Could it be that both terms are used interchangeably? [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 00:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)<br /> :Hi Hello. Well come on, I'm just using the pattern of the precedent created when they removed the Orange League Champion title from the page in favor of the Honored Trainer title (which supposedly appeared in the original Japanese). I put it that way because the term &quot;Monarch&quot; was only used on Bulbapedia after the airing of the dubbed version of [[JN012]], before that, the site used only the title of World Champion.<br /> :I thought it was worth putting this on the Champions page, because the anime explicitly uses the term Champion in the original Japanese (both to refer to Ash and Leon when referring to the world title). And personally I think that the information placed in the Japanese original should override what is shown in the United States. Since I don't watch the dubbed versions of the episodes, I'm not fully aware of how the West has addressed this issue generally.<br /> :Well, I think there must be a better way to solve this question, but I don't know what it is.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 01:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)<br /> ::&quot;Monarch&quot; ''isn't'' dub-exclusive, though; the announcer explicitly refers to Leon as &quot;oja&quot; (i.e. Monarch) in JN129. I'm aware that &quot;Champion&quot; has been used in regards to the title as well in Japanese, which is why I think both terms may have been used interchangeably. Also, &quot;Honored Trainer&quot; was indeed used in the original Japanese version; I watched both of the Orange League episodes for Ash vs. Drake in Japanese and the phrase &quot;Meiyo Trainer&quot; popped up several times, while &quot;Champion&quot; never popped up once.

Since they weren't officially owned, I'm not sure if I agree with that. What was your reasoning for saying &quot;yes&quot;? The Larvitar article could easily be retitled &quot;Larvitar (anime)&quot; if the opposite decision was made. Same with Shaymin in S&amp;M. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:44, 4 April 2023 (UTC)<br /> * Larvitar and Nebby were:<br /> ** Shown to have traveled with Ash over multiple episodes and bonded as Trainer and Pokémon, similar to other Pokémon not seen placed in a Poké Ball such as Misty's Togetic, Cameron's Lucario, Alexa's Helioptile, or Professor Burnet's Munchlax to name a few.<br /> ** They were both included in Pikachu's fantasy in JN132 showing all of Ash's Pokémon, as well as Ash's in JN135.<br /> ** Both appeared in the Aim to Be a Pokémon Master opening in JN139 (which showed released Pokémon) and JN146 (which showed Alola team).<br /> ** Both were included in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZccKUMgLRE8 final trailer] for the anime with the rest of Ash's team.<br /> ** The Aim To Be a Aim to Be a Pokémon Master promotion poster, which included all of Ash's Pokémon (the only ones not Ash's were Meowth and Wobbuffet, both main characters).<br /> At this point, why are you not convinced they are Ash's?

All I'll say is that Lucario, Helioptile, and Munchlax could easily have Poké Balls we never see. For example, Helioptile is not seen with Alexa when she and Ash travel to Kalos, implying it's in a Poké Ball. Though, with Togepi/Togetic, I don't really have an argument against that. Oh, and the fantasy in JN135 also featured the Pink Butterfree, which he definitely didn't own, but I admit, the evidence in support of this thing as a whole is very solid, so I can't really argue more against it. Hopefully there will be an outright statement of him owning them at some point to lay any doubts to rest. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)<br /> ::Oh, just remembered [https://web.archive.org/web/20180706073559/http://www.pokemon.jp/special/satoshi_pokemon/pm/ this old old official site].

While investigating the sewers, the Meltan were divided into two groups, and one ended up at the [[Ultra Guardians]] base under the [[Pokémon School]]. After being chased out by [[Lusamine's Clefable]], they encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}, who decided to study the newly discovered species. During their study, the Meltan scattered, save for a lone Meltan that decided to take a nap next to [[Ash's Rowlet]]. When Rowlet accidentally startled Meltan and caused its hex nut to fall off, Rowlet retrieved the nut before a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Murkrow}} could steal it. Taking a liking to Rowlet, Meltan chose to sneak inside Ash's [[bag|backpack]], causing Ash to unknowingly take it home with him.<br /> [[File:Meltan headless.png|thumb|250px|Meltan without its hex nut]]<br /> In [[SM112|the next episode]], another incident with a Murkrow caused Meltan's hex nut to land in {{TRT}}'s van. After a failed attempt to replace the nut, Meltan and Rowlet encountered Team Rocket, who tried to capture them. When {{MTR}} attacked, Rowlet defended Meltan by taking all of Meowth's attacks, leaving it unable to fight back. Rowlet's pain angered Meltan, who proceeded to defeat Team Rocket with a powerful {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Afterward, Ash arrived and brought Rowlet and Meltan back to the Pokémon School. Seeing how it bonded with Rowlet, Ash offered Meltan to join his [[party|team]], which it accepted after saying goodbye to its Meltan friends.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> In ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', Meltan rode [[Sandy]]'s back for the duration of the group's visit to [[Malie City]]. When {{an|Mallow}}'s hair ornament was blown away by the wind, {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} chased after it, and Sandy and Meltan followed Shaymin. After Sandy and Meltan helped Shaymin recover the hair ornament, the three Pokémon were imprisoned by Team Rocket. However, Meltan was able to eat a hole into the cage, allowing the three Pokémon to escape. Team Rocket then sent out their Pokémon, resulting in Sandy getting {{status|poison}}ed by {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} easily dodging Meltan's Flash Cannons. However, Ash, Mallow, and {{an|Lana}} showed up. Ash had Meltan attack Mareanie, whose Sludge Bomb was ineffective against it, allowing it to land a {{m|Headbutt}} on the [[Pokémon category|Brutal Star Pokémon]] before Sandy finished it off with {{m|Double-Edge}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Meltan eating.png|thumb|250px|left|Meltan eating Ash's Kantonian Badge]]<br /> In ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', while Ash was battling [[Ryuki]] at the [[Kantonian Gym]], and Rowlet was losing to Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}}, Meltan angrily retaliated by eating away some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit. Ryuki then changed the battle into a [[Double Battle]], with Ash using Rowlet and Meltan against Ryuki's Zweilous and {{p|Druddigon}}. Due to its slow movements, Meltan was unable to dodge Druddigon's {{m|Dragon Claw}}s and was forced to try to protect itself with {{m|Harden}}. As Meltan's endurance was running low, Rowlet's {{m|Peck}} suddenly evolved into {{m|Brave Bird}}, allowing it to save Meltan from being defeated. Rowlet and Meltan then launched a combination attack at Zweilous and Druddigon, defeating them and winning the battle for Ash. Meltan later ate Ash's reward for winning-a badge-because of how tasty it looked.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', when Ash intended to use {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle {{an|Faba}} in the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]], Faba had his {{p|Hypno}} secretly use {{m|Psychic}} to bring out Meltan instead, having spied upon Ash's team the previous night and assumed that Meltan would be the easiest opponent for him. However, during the battle, Meltan became fascinated by Hypno's pendulum, and eventually ended up latching onto it and eating a part of it, preventing Hypno from using {{m|Hypnosis}}. While Hypno was dismayed over losing its pendulum, Ash had Meltan attack it with Flash Cannon, defeating Hypno and advancing Ash to the second round.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Meltan watched Ash and Rowlet's battle against [[Hau]] and his {{p|Decidueye}}. After witnessing Rowlet's victory in [[SM133|the next episode]], a determined Meltan climbed to the top of the [[Manalo Stadium]] [[Pokémon Center]] and started calling for the other Meltan to meet up with it.<br /> [[File:Ash Meltan Evolution.png|thumb|250px|Meltan fusing with the other Meltan to evolve]]<br /> In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Meltan met up with its fellow Meltan at the Manalo Stadium docks. The wild Meltan subsequently fused with Ash's Meltan, resulting in it [[Evolution|evolving]] into Melmetal and learning {{m|Double Iron Bash}}. The next day, Melmetal was the first Pokémon Ash sent out during his battle against {{an|Gladion}}, facing off against {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. Melmetal managed to deal heavy [[damage]] on Silvally with its newfound power, but nevertheless, it was still defeated by a {{type|Fighting}} {{m|Multi-Attack}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', after withdrawing Pikachu, Ash sent Melmetal out to face {{p|Empoleon}} during his {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against {{an|Professor Kukui}}. Melmetal was easily able to endure Empoleon's attacks before defeating it with Double Iron Bash. Kukui next sent out his {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. Although Melmetal endured Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, its attempt to retaliate with Double Iron Bash backfired when Incineroar caught the attack. Although Melmetal seemingly overpowered Incineroar in the contest of raw strength that followed, Incineroar overwhelmed Melmetal and defeated it with a close-range super-effective {{m|Blast Burn}}.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Melmetal, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Melmetal greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Melmetal attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Melmetal watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Melmetal appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash Rowlet Melmetal.png|thumb|left|250px|Melmetal and Rowlet]]<br /> Melmetal is a naturally curious individual who is prone to wandering off on its own. It formed a very close friendship with [[Ash's Rowlet]] after it protected it from {{MTR}}'s {{m|Fury Swipes}} while it was still a Meltan. Also, Melmetal looks up to Rowlet and sees it as a mentor figure, much like [[Ash's Noivern]]'s relationship with {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Melmetal gets easily scared, as seen in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', where it was reluctant to follow its fellow {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} into the sewer, only following when it was forced. Despite being scared, Melmetal will help its friends in any way it can. After joining Ash's team, Melmetal easily became close to Ash and became friends with its teammates. Melmetal also becomes very upset whenever it loses its hex nut.<br /> [[File:Ash and Melmetal.png|thumb|250px|Melmetal and Ash]]<br /> Like many of its species, Melmetal consumes anything made of metal. Frying pans, in particular, appear to be Melmetal's favorite food, as seen in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', when {{an|Professor Burnet}} discovered a frying pan that had been partially eaten. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment for [[SM115]], Melmetal was seen happily consuming the frying pan Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were using for target practice. In ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]'', Rowlet had to stop it from eating another one of Burnet's pans. {{Rotom}} later mused that it had already ruined three pans. This tendency came in handy in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', when it, [[Sandy]], and {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} found themselves stuck in a cage made by Team Rocket. This was shown again in ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', when it ate the metal on a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}}'s ship to help free a {{p|Kyogre}}. Because of its liquid body as a Meltan, Melmetal could not move very fast and was often seen chasing after friends or other things that drew its curiosity or riding on Rowlet. Melmetal's slow movement prevents it from dodging well, causing it to rely on moves like {{m|Harden}} to endure enemy attacks.<br /> <br /> Inside and outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Melmetal has a tendency to act on its own without any input from its Trainer. This was showcased in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', where it attacked [[Ryuki]] because Rowlet was losing to his {{p|Zweilous}}. Later, while battling Ryuki's {{p|Druddigon}}, Melmetal followed up an unsuccessful {{m|Headbutt}} with an unprompted {{m|Flash Cannon}}, surprising Ash. In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Melmetal was revealed to enjoy the theatricality of battling, as it enjoyed the applause from the crowd at [[Manalo Stadium]] before its battle against {{an|Faba}}. In the same episode, it was also revealed to enjoy stretching after coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. After evolving, it gained a lot of physical strength and durability, but still retained its tendency to act on its own accord, and will cry if hit by a painful attack. As a Melmetal, it appears quite proud of its physique, flexing its body and allowing its Trainer and other Pokémon to climb on it.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|steel||Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Meltan Flash Cannon|1=Meltan Headbutt|2=Meltan Harden|3=Meltan Thunderbolt|4=Melmetal Double Iron Bash|5=Melmetal Flash Cannon}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Flash Cannon as a Meltan|1=Headbutt as a Meltan|2=Harden as a Meltan|3=Thunderbolt as a Meltan|4=Double Iron Bash|5=Flash Cannon}}}}<br /> {{anmov|Steel|Flash Cannon|SM111|Show Me the Metal!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Electric|Thunderbolt|SM111|Show Me the Metal!}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Headbutt|SM117|Drawn with the Wind!}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Harden|SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!}}<br /> {{anmov|Steel|Double Iron Bash|SM138|Final Rivals!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|steel}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{steel color}}; border: 3px solid #{{steel color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Brave Cannon.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]''<br /> | {{m|Brave Bird}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}<br /> | [[Ash's Rowlet]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' A combination of Flash Cannon and Brave Bird.

A {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}}, in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}, also lived in the same world, whose light would make the world a lush and green planet. Although it would often protect the Poipole and Naganadel, one day a meteorite came crashing down and in order to protect the world from its impact, Necrozma collided with it. But in destroying the meteorite, it turned into a different form with a black appearance and fell into a crevasse. After falling, the change in Necrozma's form caused it to be encased in a spiky and crystallized cocoon and turned the lush and bright world into a desolate and dark place. The Poipole and Naganadel would huddle together and take in the remnants of light left. Poipole later left the world with the intent of finding a better place to live.<br /> <br /> Poipole debuted towards the end of ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', where it was seen traversing through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. In ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', it emerged from the wormhole on [[Melemele Island]] and started roaming around. Soon, it witnessed {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} battling a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} during their first [[Ultra Guardians]] mission, and became fascinated by the light produced by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s [[move|attacks]]. It excitedly approached Pikachu while the rest of the group had their attention on whether Buzzwole's capture was successful or not.<br /> [[File:Poipole Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Playing with {{AP|Pikachu}} as a Poipole]]<br /> In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Poipole recalled Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} after encountering a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Chinchou}}, and went looking for him, eventually finding him at the [[Pokémon School]]. While Ash and his classmates were focusing on their lesson, Poipole attracted Pikachu's attention and lured him away, wanting to see Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} moves again. After Pikachu had shared an apple with it, Poipole started showing its affection towards him with constant nuzzling. [[Ash's Rowlet]], who was looking for Pikachu, mistook this as Pikachu being in trouble and tried to attack Poipole, only for Poipole to panic and use {{m|Toxic}} on Rowlet, {{status|poison}}ing it. After Pikachu scolded Poipole, it understood its mistake and offered to help carry Rowlet. While going through [[Hau'oli City]], the two were attacked by {{TRT}}, who tried to capture them, but were saved when Ash showed up.<br /> <br /> Later, Poipole was brought to the Ultra Guardians base, where {{an|Lusamine}} contacted the group and, since {{Rotom}} had been unable to recognize it, told them the {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} name they had chosen to give for Poipole. Lusamine also suggested that Ash should {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Poipole and take care of it until they could figure out the location of the wormhole it had appeared from, which he agreed to. However, Poipole happily evaded all the [[Beast Ball]]s that Ash tried to throw at it, thinking that Ash was playing with it. {{an|Lillie}} suggested that they'd demonstrate to Poipole what going into and being let out of a [[Poké Ball]] would be like, which Ash did by repeatedly [[recall]]ing and sending out Rowlet. With the demonstration done and Poipole now understanding his intentions, Ash prepared to throw another Beast Ball, only for Poipole to touch the ball and be caught voluntarily, much to everyone's surprise. Later, Poipole was seen playing with Ash and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} at {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, even painting a picture of Pikachu on the wall.<br /> <br /> ====With Ash====<br /> In ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', Ash and his classmates visited the [[Hokulani Observatory]] to witness {{p|Minior}} showers falling from the sky and then floating back into space. When the first Minior fell, Poipole immediately became fascinated by the shining light they emitted. One Minior, however, hadn't managed to break out of its shell like the rest, so Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} carried it to the observatory. At the observatory, Poipole kept examining the Minior until next morning, its shell finally broke, revealing an {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Orange Core}}. Poipole wanted to be friends with the Minior, but initially upset it by spraying some of its paint-like ooze on it. Poipole, however, understood that it had made Minior angry, and cheered it up by painting a picture of it on the wall. Over the course of the day, the two played a lot together, becoming good friends. The next night, another Minior shower came, reuniting Minior with its friends. However, as they started floating back up again, they began to fade away, as they couldn't survive too long without their shell. The same also happened to the Orange Core Minior that Poipole had become friends with, making Poipole sad, but it was calmed down by a gentle hug from Ash.<br /> [[File:Ash Poipole farewell.png|thumb|left|250px|Poipole waving goodbye]]<br /> In ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', Ash encountered [[Mina]], an artist whose {{p|Ribombee}} is capable of detecting the emotions of others. With Ribombee's help, Mina deciphered that Poipole expressed its emotions through its paintings and that it loves Ash and considered him and everyone who lives at Professor Kukui's house to be its family. During the following night, Poipole had a dream about a dark place filled with multiple sad Poipole and a tired Naganadel, causing it to wake up and go look at the moon while crying. The next day, Ash noticed that Poipole was sad and met with Mina again to help find out what Poipole was feeling. Mina accepted and discovered that Poipole was on a mission of some kind. Later that day, Ash noticed Poipole painting a picture of &quot;The Blinding One&quot;, which it had taken notice of in a book [[Acerola]] read to them [[SM074|previously]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', Poipole returned to its home world when the Ultra Guardians followed {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}} through an Ultra Wormhole. Poipole reunited with the other Poipole and Naganadel, who told the group about Poipole's motive for coming to Alola. Poipole [[SM090|later]] joined the rest of Alola in showering Necrozma with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}. After the Ultra Guardians helped return the light to its homeland, Naganadel informed the Ultra Guardians that Poipole wanted to stay behind. Thus, Poipole left Ash and returned to its hive, but not before drawing Ash and Pikachu's faces on the ground to express its goodbye to them.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM140|Z-Move Showdown!]]'', Poipole returned through an Ultra Wormhole, having evolved into a Naganadel and learned Thunderbolt since Ash last saw it. Temporarily teaming up with Professor Kukui, it helped Ash and Pikachu to attack a {{Shiny}} {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Shiny Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} that was threatening [[Manalo Stadium]]. Together, they sent it away through the Ultra Wormhole Naganadel had just come out of, using the force of two simultaneous {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}s. At the beginning of [[SM141|the next episode]], Naganadel officially rejoined Ash's [[party|team]] in preparation for his upcoming [[Full Battle]] against Professor Kukui.<br /> [[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|Naganadel in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]<br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash sent Naganadel out to face Professor Kukui's {{p|Lucario}} during their Full Battle. The battle between the two properly commenced in [[SM143|the next episode]], where Naganadel eventually managed to defeat its powerful opponent before being recalled. Ash later sent it back out to battle {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, who had decided to join the battle as Kukui's final Pokémon. The battle between the two Pokémon took place in [[SM144|the following episode]], where Naganadel, despite successfully dealing some [[damage]] on the {{an|Guardian deities|guardian deity}}, was eventually defeated.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', an Ultra Wormhole opened above Professor Kukui's house, and Ash, understanding that Naganadel had friends who needed it in its own world, decided to let it go. As a sign of their friendship, Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt for Naganadel to enjoy for one more time before it disappeared into the wormhole.<br /> <br /> ===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===<br /> In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Naganadel appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Naganadel appeared in a fantasy while Ash reminisced about the Pokémon he'd caught on his journey.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and characteristics==<br /> [[File:Ash Poipole drawing.png|thumb|left|250px|Poipole expressing itself with its drawings]]<br /> [[File:Ash and Naganadel.png|thumb|250px|Naganadel and Ash]]<br /> As a Poipole, Naganadel is quite playful with other Pokémon. In one instance of this in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', whilst Ash and his classmates were waiting to see if Buzzwole had been captured, Poipole attempted to play with {{AP|Pikachu}} before flying off. It has also been shown to have a fascination with light, as shown how it tends to stop to admire Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} moves, much like how [[Ash's Goodra]] admired Pikachu's strength. In addition, Poipole is known to laugh even when attacked. Poipole took an instant liking to Ash after he helped saved it from Team Rocket. This was also seen when Ash showed it how [[Poké Ball]]s work. Equally, it also became quick friends with its teammates. Despite being a playful trickster, Poipole never seems to intend any serious harm, as it clearly felt sorry when Pikachu scolded it for poisoning Rowlet, and offered to help carry Rowlet.<br /> <br /> Naganadel had a habit of spinning the tip of its stinger when when feeling happy. As a Poipole, it span on is head instead. It also likes to express its affection for Pikachu by nuzzling him. Despite Naganadel's playfulness, it has been shown to be there for its friends, like in ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', when it rescued and brought back {{AP|Rowlet}} after it was almost blown away by the harsh winds blowing through the [[Haina Desert]]. Nagandel has also been shown to love making paintings with its ooze, especially of those whom it wishes to be good friends with, like Pikachu and {{p|Minior}}. As revealed in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', Nagandel uses its drawings to express its feelings to others. It draws lighting bolt-shaped marks on or next to things that it likes or loves, and has been seen drawing teardrop shapes when feeling sad.<br /> <br /> Being an Ultra Beast, Naganadel is quite unfamiliar with the world of Ash and {{ashcl}}, and is driven by a great sense of curiosity, as seen in ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', when it began to play with an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}}'s tail head, unintentionally causing the Exeggutor to send Ash rolling out of the [[Pokémon Center]] he was in. This same curiosity almost got it in trouble with a {{p|Tauros}} on {{an|Kiawe}}'s family's farm. It appears to have retained some of its playful naïveté even after evolving, such as in ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', where it was seen watching [[Ash's Melmetal]] spin around so intently that it became dizzy, as well as enjoying being the center of attention when sent out in the middle of [[Manalo Stadium]] in ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]''. As a Poipole, Naganadel appeared to lack the ability to smell, as it was unaffected by the stench produced by Garbodor in ''Real Life...Inquire Within!'' and reacted with indifference to the aroma produced by the flowers grown by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} in ''Some Kind of Laziness!''.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|poison|dragon|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Poipole Toxic|1=Poipole Fury Attack|2=Naganadel Thunderbolt}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Toxic as a Poipole|1=Fury Attack as a Poipole|2=Thunderbolt}}|image2=Ash Naganadel {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=X-Scissor|1=Sludge Bomb|2=Dragon Pulse}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=X-Scissor|1=Sludge Bomb|2=Dragon Pulse}}}}<br /> {{anmov|poison|Toxic|SM067|Love at First Twirl!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Attack|SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Thunderbolt|SM140|Z-Move Showdown!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|bug|X-Scissor|SM143|Fiery Surprises!{{tt|*|First mentioned in SM142}}|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|poison|Sludge Bomb|SM143|Fiery Surprises!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dragon|Dragon Pulse|SM143|Fiery Surprises!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dragon}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Z-Move]]s used===<br /> {{anmov/h|poison|dragon|Ash Naganadel Gigavolt Havoc.png|Using Gigavolt Havoc}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Gigavolt Havoc|SM140|Z-Move Showdown!{{tt|*|Base move is Thunderbolt}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dragon}}<br /> <br /> ===Moves improvised===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{poison color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dragon color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Super Pokémon Fireworks.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM078|Twirling with a Bang!]]''<br /> | {{m|Electroweb}}, {{m|Zing Zap}}, {{m|Discharge}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, and {{m|Powder Snow}}<br /> | The [[Ultra Guardians]]' Pokémon<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' Super Pokémon Fireworks (Japanese: '''超特大ポケモン花火''' ''Super Special Pokémon Fireworks'') A combination move used by the Ultra Guardians' partner Pokémon and their [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]]. {{AP|Pikachu}} launches {{m|Electroweb}} into the air, followed by {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} and {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}} adding to it by creating a makeshift Electroweb with {{m|Zing Zap}} and {{m|Discharge}}, respectively. {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, and {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}} add to the combination with {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{m|Magical Leaf}}, and a double {{m|Flamethrower}}, respectively. {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Altaria}} then use a triple {{m|Fire Blast}}, followed by [[Snowy]]'s {{m|Powder Snow}} and Poipole's poison.

While investigating the sewers, the Meltan were divided into two groups, and one ended up at the [[Ultra Guardians]] base under the [[Pokémon School]]. After being chased out by [[Lusamine's Clefable]], they encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}, who decided to study the newly discovered species. During their study, the Meltan scattered, save for a lone Meltan that decided to take a nap next to [[Ash's Rowlet]]. When Rowlet accidentally startled Meltan and caused its hex nut to fall off, Rowlet retrieved the nut before a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Murkrow}} could steal it. Taking a liking to Rowlet, Meltan chose to sneak inside Ash's [[bag|backpack]], causing Ash to unknowingly take it home with him.<br /> [[File:Meltan headless.png|thumb|250px|Meltan without its hex nut]]<br /> In [[SM112|the next episode]], another incident with a Murkrow caused Meltan's hex nut to land in {{TRT}}'s van. After a failed attempt to replace the nut, Meltan and Rowlet encountered Team Rocket, who tried to capture them. When {{MTR}} attacked, Rowlet defended Meltan by taking all of Meowth's attacks, leaving it unable to fight back. Rowlet's pain angered Meltan, who proceeded to defeat Team Rocket with a powerful {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Afterward, Ash arrived and brought Rowlet and Meltan back to the Pokémon School. Seeing how it bonded with Rowlet, Ash offered Meltan to join his [[party|team]], which it accepted after saying goodbye to its Meltan friends.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> In ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', Meltan rode [[Sandy]]'s back for the duration of the group's visit to [[Malie City]]. When {{an|Mallow}}'s hair ornament was blown away by the wind, {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} chased after it, and Sandy and Meltan followed Shaymin. After Sandy and Meltan helped Shaymin recover the hair ornament, the three Pokémon were imprisoned by Team Rocket. However, Meltan was able to eat a hole into the cage, allowing the three Pokémon to escape. Team Rocket then sent out their Pokémon, resulting in Sandy getting {{status|poison}}ed by {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} easily dodging Meltan's Flash Cannons. However, Ash, Mallow, and {{an|Lana}} showed up. Ash had Meltan attack Mareanie, whose Sludge Bomb was ineffective against it, allowing it to land a {{m|Headbutt}} on the [[Pokémon category|Brutal Star Pokémon]] before Sandy finished it off with {{m|Double-Edge}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Meltan eating.png|thumb|250px|left|Meltan eating Ash's Kantonian Badge]]<br /> In ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', while Ash was battling [[Ryuki]] at the [[Kantonian Gym]], and Rowlet was losing to Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}}, Meltan angrily retaliated by eating away some of the decorations on Ryuki's suit. Ryuki then changed the battle into a [[Double Battle]], with Ash using Rowlet and Meltan against Ryuki's Zweilous and {{p|Druddigon}}. Due to its slow movements, Meltan was unable to dodge Druddigon's {{m|Dragon Claw}}s and was forced to try to protect itself with {{m|Harden}}. As Meltan's endurance was running low, Rowlet's {{m|Peck}} suddenly evolved into {{m|Brave Bird}}, allowing it to save Meltan from being defeated. Rowlet and Meltan then launched a combination attack at Zweilous and Druddigon, defeating them and winning the battle for Ash. Meltan later ate Ash's reward for winning-a badge-because of how tasty it looked.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', when Ash intended to use {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle {{an|Faba}} in the first round of the [[Manalo Conference]], Faba had his {{p|Hypno}} secretly use {{m|Psychic}} to bring out Meltan instead, having spied upon Ash's team the previous night and assumed that Meltan would be the easiest opponent for him. However, during the battle, Meltan became fascinated by Hypno's pendulum, and eventually ended up latching onto it and eating a part of it, preventing Hypno from using {{m|Hypnosis}}. While Hypno was dismayed over losing its pendulum, Ash had Meltan attack it with Flash Cannon, defeating Hypno and advancing Ash to the second round.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM132|Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!]]'', Meltan watched Ash and Rowlet's battle against [[Hau]] and his {{p|Decidueye}}. After witnessing Rowlet's victory in [[SM133|the next episode]], a determined Meltan climbed to the top of the [[Manalo Stadium]] [[Pokémon Center]] and started calling for the other Meltan to meet up with it.<br /> [[File:Ash Meltan Evolution.png|thumb|250px|Meltan fusing with the other Meltan to evolve]]<br /> In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Meltan met up with its fellow Meltan at the Manalo Stadium docks. The wild Meltan subsequently fused with Ash's Meltan, resulting in it [[Evolution|evolving]] into Melmetal and learning {{m|Double Iron Bash}}. The next day, Melmetal was the first Pokémon Ash sent out during his battle against {{an|Gladion}}, facing off against {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. Melmetal managed to deal heavy [[damage]] on Silvally with its newfound power, but nevertheless, it was still defeated by a {{type|Fighting}} {{m|Multi-Attack}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', after withdrawing Pikachu, Ash sent Melmetal out to face {{p|Empoleon}} during his {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against {{an|Professor Kukui}}. Melmetal was easily able to endure Empoleon's attacks before defeating it with Double Iron Bash. Kukui next sent out his {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. Although Melmetal endured Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, its attempt to retaliate with Double Iron Bash backfired when Incineroar caught the attack. Although Melmetal seemingly overpowered Incineroar in the contest of raw strength that followed, Incineroar overwhelmed Melmetal and defeated it with a close-range super-effective {{m|Blast Burn}}.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Melmetal, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Melmetal greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Melmetal attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Melmetal watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Melmetal appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash Rowlet Melmetal.png|thumb|left|250px|Melmetal and Rowlet]]<br /> Melmetal is a naturally curious individual who is prone to wandering off on its own. It formed a very close friendship with [[Ash's Rowlet]] after it protected it from {{MTR}}'s {{m|Fury Swipes}} while it was still a Meltan. Also, Melmetal looks up to Rowlet and sees it as a mentor figure, much like [[Ash's Noivern]]'s relationship with {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Melmetal gets easily scared, as seen in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', where it was reluctant to follow its fellow {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} into the sewer, only following when it was forced. Despite being scared, Melmetal will help its friends in any way it can. After joining Ash's team, Melmetal easily became close to Ash and became friends with its teammates. Melmetal also becomes very upset whenever it loses its hex nut.<br /> [[File:Ash and Melmetal.png|thumb|250px|Melmetal and Ash]]<br /> Like many of its species, Melmetal consumes anything made of metal. Frying pans, in particular, appear to be Melmetal's favorite food, as seen in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', when {{an|Professor Burnet}} discovered a frying pan that had been partially eaten. In the [[Poké Problem]] segment for [[SM115]], Melmetal was seen happily consuming the frying pan Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} were using for target practice. In ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]'', Rowlet had to stop it from eating another one of Burnet's pans. {{Rotom}} later mused that it had already ruined three pans. This tendency came in handy in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', when it, [[Sandy]], and {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} found themselves stuck in a cage made by Team Rocket. This was shown again in ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', when it ate the metal on a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}}'s ship to help free a {{p|Kyogre}}. Because of its liquid body as a Meltan, Melmetal could not move very fast and was often seen chasing after friends or other things that drew its curiosity or riding on Rowlet. Melmetal's slow movement prevents it from dodging well, causing it to rely on moves like {{m|Harden}} to endure enemy attacks.<br /> <br /> Inside and outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Melmetal has a tendency to act on its own without any input from its Trainer. This was showcased in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', where it attacked [[Ryuki]] because Rowlet was losing to his {{p|Zweilous}}. Later, while battling Ryuki's {{p|Druddigon}}, Melmetal followed up an unsuccessful {{m|Headbutt}} with an unprompted {{m|Flash Cannon}}, surprising Ash. In ''[[SM130|Battling Besties!]]'', Melmetal was revealed to enjoy the theatricality of battling, as it enjoyed the applause from the crowd at [[Manalo Stadium]] before its battle against {{an|Faba}}. In the same episode, it was also revealed to enjoy stretching after coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}}. After evolving, it gained a lot of physical strength and durability, but still retained its tendency to act on its own accord, and will cry if hit by a painful attack. As a Melmetal, it appears quite proud of its physique, flexing its body and allowing its Trainer and other Pokémon to climb on it.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|steel||Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Meltan Flash Cannon|1=Meltan Headbutt|2=Meltan Harden|3=Meltan Thunderbolt|4=Melmetal Double Iron Bash|5=Melmetal Flash Cannon}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=Flash Cannon as a Meltan|1=Headbutt as a Meltan|2=Harden as a Meltan|3=Thunderbolt as a Meltan|4=Double Iron Bash|5=Flash Cannon}}}}<br /> {{anmov|Steel|Flash Cannon|SM111|Show Me the Metal!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Electric|Thunderbolt|SM111|Show Me the Metal!}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Headbutt|SM117|Drawn with the Wind!}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Harden|SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!}}<br /> {{anmov|Steel|Double Iron Bash|SM138|Final Rivals!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|steel}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{steel color}}; border: 3px solid #{{steel color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Brave Cannon.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]''<br /> | {{m|Brave Bird}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}<br /> | [[Ash's Rowlet]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' A combination of Flash Cannon and Brave Bird.

It was first [[nickname]]d '''Nebby''' (Japanese: '''ほしぐもちゃん''' ''Hoshigumo-chan'') by {{an|Lillie}}.<br /> <br /> ===History===<br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''====<br /> [[File:Tapus and Nebby.png|thumb|250px|left|The guardian deities leaving Cosmog to be found by Ash]]<br /> Nebby debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. It first appeared in {{Ash}}'s dream, where it was created by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. It was taken to [[Melemele Island]] by the [[guardian deities]] of [[Alola]], where {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} led Ash to where it was sleeping. Taking it to the [[Pokémon School]], Ash and {{ashcl}} found that the unusual Pokémon emitted a high-pitched scream whenever it cried. Eventually calming it down, Ash decided to take care of Cosmog, which {{an|Lillie}} [[nickname]]d Nebby. When Ash brought it home with Lillie, he met {{an|Professor Burnet}} {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], and {{an|Faba}}, who revealed that Nebby could be an [[Ultra Beast]]. Lusamine later offered to take Nebby with her to [[Aether Paradise]], but Ash declined because of his promise to take care of Nebby. Lusamine gave in and entrusted Nebby's safety with Ash.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM048|Night of A Thousand Poses!]]'', Nebby teleported Lillie to Gladion, which prompted Lillie's fear of touching Pokémon to return. As a result, she couldn't even touch her {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', it was lured out of Ash's bag by Faba, who convinced it to teleport him back to Aether Foundation's sealed lab. After arriving, Faba captured it in a device designed to keep it from teleporting. Faba intended to use Nebby's power to open an [[Ultra Wormhole]], but he was stopped by Ash's Pikachu and {{an|Gladion}}'s {{p|Umbreon}}. However, after being released, Nebby evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}, and the residual energy from the evolution caused a Wormhole to appear anyway.<br /> [[File:Nebby Ultra Wormhole.png|thumb|250px|left|Nebby traveling through an Ultra Wormhole]]<br /> Nebby was brought to the Altar of the Sunne by Ash in ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]''. In [[SM052|the next episode]], Ash gave Nebby to the Tapu, asking for their help. After being blessed by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}} and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}, the four deities sung at the Altar, opening the mechanism within and causing Nebby to evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}, much to the surprise of everyone present. After greeting the others warmly, Solgaleo accepted Ash, Lillie, and Gladion's plea to help {{an|Lusamine}}, giving Ash a [[Solganium Z]]. After having his [[Z-Ring]] upgraded to a [[Z-Power Ring]] by the Tapu, Ash and the others climbed on Solgaleo's back, and using the power of the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, created an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to travel to the place Lusamine awaited them.<br /> <br /> After arriving in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Solgaleo and Ash cornered Lusamine during [[SM054|the following episode]]. As a result, Lusamine flooded their island with a poisonous liquid. Due to Solgaleo's {{type|Steel}} giving it immunity to poison, it protected Ash from the liquid, and then carried him across it, dodging Lusamine's attacks along the way. After that, it went back with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] to help the others fight off Lusamine's Pokémon, who continued to heal themselves due to the Nihilego's energy. Everyone later succeeded after Lusamine was freed from Nihilego's control by Ash. Solgaleo then carried the group, now joined by the revived Lusamine, back to the Altar of the Sunne. After the conclusion of the episode, it parted from the group.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Solgaleo appeared above the site of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Burnet's wedding. The class thanked it for its help in [[Ultra Space]], to which it smiled back at them.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Solgaleo and {{DL||Lunala}} were playing in an [[Ultra Wormhole]] when they were attacked by a {{DL||Necrozma}}. They fled as Necrozma pursued them through the Ultra Wormhole. It eventually wound up being injured by one of Necrozma's attacks and was left behind.<br /> [[File:Nebby vs Necrozma.png|thumb|250px|Nebby battling Necrozma]]<br /> In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Solgaleo arrived in Alola, where it met up with Ash again and fought {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}} in an effort to free Lunala from its control. With its {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, Solgaleo managed to knock Necrozma off of Lunala, causing it to break apart and fall into the sea. Shortly after, the elite [[Team Rocket]] unit, the [[Matori]] Matrix, attacked Solgaleo and Lunala by trapping them in an electrified net. After being freed by Ash's Pikachu and [[Gladion's Silvally]], Solgaleo retaliated by attacking the unit's aircraft, forcing them to retreat. Immediately after, Necrozma emerged from the sea and possessed Solgaleo, causing it become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}. Ash tried to free Solgaleo, but was unable to stop Necrozma, and it fled into an Ultra Wormhole.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', Solgaleo remained fused with Necrozma. The Ultra Guardians, with Lunala's help, pursued Necrozma to [[Ash's Poipole]]'s [[Poipole's world|home world]], and learned that Necrozma was preying on the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] in order to absorb their light and restore itself to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}. After being asked by {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nagandel}} to save Necrozma, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and Gladion attempted to use their Z-Moves to supply Necrozma with Ultra Aura and separate it from Solgaleo. [[SM090|However]], they were only successful in making it more powerful. Communication between the Guardians and their home base was soon reestablished. After Lusamine, Wicke, and Professor Burnet shared what they knew, they arranged for the people and Pokémon attending the [[Manalo Festival]] to follow the lead of the [[guardian deities]] and share a portion of their Ultra Aura with Necrozma. Combined with the Ultra Aura of the Ultra Guardians and their Pokémon, Necrozma received enough light to separate from Solgaleo. Solgaleo then joined forces with Ash, Gladion, and Lunala, giving Necrozma one last boost of power with the combined Ultra Aura of their [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]]s, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Through these efforts, Necrozma's strength was finally restored. After Ash and Pikachu bade farewell to Poipole, Solgaleo and Lunala led the Ultra Guardians back to Alola.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Solgaleo returned to Alola to say goodbye to Ash, before taking him on a trip through Ultra Space. There, they came across an {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|unknown Ultra Beast}} off-screen.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Nebby appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash and Nebby.png|thumb|250px|Nebby and Ash]]<br /> In the original Japanese version of the anime, Nebby's official nickname is simply '''ほしぐも''' ''Hoshigumo'', as opposed to ''Hoshigumo-chan''. The ''-chan'' {{wp|Japanese honorifics|honorific}} is still used occasionally, with &quot;Little Nebby&quot; being used instead of Hoshigumo-chan in the English [[dub]]. In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', {{TRT}} caught sight of the unidentified Pokémon while Ash was buying donuts from their food truck. [[James]] surmised that the unknown Pokémon was the [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolved]] form of {{p|Koffing}}, and named it '''Protokoffing''' (Japanse '''プチドガース''' ''Puchidogars''). This led to confusion when the trio saw Cosmoem in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', causing James to assume that there was an intermediary phase it evolves into in Alola, which he dubbed '''Nanokoffing''' (Japanese '''カタドガース''' ''Katadogas''), but this was ultimately debunked when they witnessed &quot;Nanokoffing&quot; evolve into the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Solgaleo. After its final evolution, Ash and his classmates typically refer to it by its proper name, Solgaleo.<br /> [[File:Nebby crying.png|thumb|250px|left|Nebby crying]]<br /> As a {{p|Cosmog}}, Nebby shared many traits with human babies. It slept and cried a lot, but was easy to amuse and was naturally curious. Its cries were quite powerful, and they caused nearby people and Pokémon to cover their ears. In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', its cries were so powerful, it sent Pikachu flying back into a tree. Nebby was a very fussy eater and appears to have a preference for '''star candy''' (Japanese '''コンペイト''' ''{{wp|konpeitō}}''). It was also ticklish and enjoys playing hide-and-seek, as shown respectively in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' and ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', it was shown that Nebby tends to {{m|teleport}} people to places they are thinking or talking about. {{Rotom}} surmises this is because it knew little about the world around it, so it had to depend on telepathy and other people to develop its abilities. By the end of the episode, it had become attached enough to Ash, to the point where it would willingly teleport to him on its own whenever they are separated.<br /> <br /> After evolving into {{p|Cosmoem}}, Nebby hardly spoke, moved, or emoted, reflective of its coccoon-like state. However, after evolving into {{p|Solgaleo}}, it appeared to have grown into a more mature version of itself physically and mentally, letting Lillie hug it, happily accepting the Star candy from Ash, and licking him affectionately. As a Solgaleo, it can create Ultra Wormholes at will with the help of a Trainer with a [[Z-Power Ring]], a Solganium Z, and its Z-Move, Searing Sunraze Smash.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> :''See also: [[Light trio]]''<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{steel color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{psychic color dark}}&quot;<br /> |- <br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{psychic color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Cosmog<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{psychic color light}};&quot; | As a Cosmoem<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{steel color light}};&quot; | Radiant Sun phase<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | Fused with Necrozma<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Nebby anime.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Nebby Cosmoem anime.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Nebby Raidant Sun Phase.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Dusk Mane Necrozma anime.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|steel|Nebby {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Teleport|1=Supersonic|2=Sunsteel Strike|3=Flash Cannon}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Teleport&lt;br&gt;as a Cosmog|1=Supersonic&lt;br&gt;as a Cosmog|2=Sunsteel Strike|3=Flash Cannon}}}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Teleport|SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Supersonic|SM047|A Masked Warning!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Sunsteel Strike|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!{{tt|*|Revealed to know the move in SM052}}}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Flash Cannon|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|steel|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|steel|Nebby Searing Sunraze Smash.png|Using Searing Sunraze Smash}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Searing Sunraze Smash|SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!{{tt|*|Base move is Sunsteel Strike}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|steel}}<br /> <br /> ===Artwork===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|10px}} border: 2px solid #{{steel color dark}}; background: #{{psychic color}}; font-size:80%;&quot;<br /> |- <br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|10px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{psychic color light}}&quot; | [[File:SM key visual 2.png|x200px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|10px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{psychic color light}}&quot; | [[File:S21 KV.png|x200px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|10px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{steel color light}}&quot; | [[File:SM key visual 3.png|x200px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; background: #{{steel color light}}&quot; | [[File:Pokémon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master poster.png|x250px]]<br /> |-<br /> | Japanese key visual featuring Nebby<br /> | English key visual featuring Nebby<br /> | Japanese key visual featuring Nebby<br /> | Poster for the Japanese version of&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master}}''<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Trivia===<br /> * Solgaleo is Ash’s first:<br /> *** [[gender unknown|Gender-unknown]] Pokémon.<br /> *** {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.<br /> *** [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br /> <br /> ===In other languages===<br /> ''Nebby''<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;background:#{{psychic color light}}; border:3px solid #{{psychic color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !

However, both of them soon found themselves being chased by {{DL||Necrozma}}. Lunala later emerged from the Ultra Wormhole at the [[Altar of the Sunne]], appearing before {{Ash}}, {{ashcl}}, {{an|Gladion}}, {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], {{an|Faba}}, and {{an|Professor Burnet}}, with Necrozma still chasing it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Necrozma continued to chase Lunala around [[Melemele Island]]. Despite the best efforts of {{p|Tapu Koko}}, Necrozma was able to merge with Lunala, becoming {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. Lunala was later freed when Solgaleo appeared and forced Necrozma to separate from it. Lunala was subsequently taken to the [[Ultra Guardians]] base below the [[Pokémon School]] to be healed. Later, Lunala was able to recover itself by using the energy emitted from Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and Gladion's [[Z-Ring]]s.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', Lunala turned into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Solgaleo and Lunala|Full Moon phase}} and traveled through an Ultra Wormhole with the [[Ultra Guardians]], whereupon they arrived at {{AP|Poipole}}'s [[Poipole's world|home world]]. While the Ultra Guardians stayed back to assist [[Ultra Beasts (anime)#Ultra Space Naganadel|Naganadel]] at Poipole's home, Lunala went ahead to face Necrozma. Later, Lunala was defeated by Necrozma, but was rescued by [[Gladion's Silvally]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Lunala helped Necrozma by giving it some of its Z-Power. The attempt was successful in getting Necrozma to let go of Solgaleo, but it also angered Necrozma into attacking everyone again. After giving Gladion a [[Lunalium Z]], Lunala and Gladion performed {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} while Ash and Solgaleo used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. The combined Z-Moves successfully gave Necrozma enough light to regain its true form and restore Poipole's home world back to normal. Afterwards, it, Solgaleo, and the Ultra Guardians went back to Alola.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> Lunala has a caring attitude towards humans, as evident in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', where it saved {{an|Lillie}}, a girl it barely knew, from falling when she was knocked off her [[Poké Ride|Ride]] {{p|Altaria}}. Lunala is also playful, as evident by the way it was chasing {{DL||Solgaleo}} through an Ultra Wormhole. After Necrozma took Solgaleo into Poipole's world in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', in the next episode, Lunala fully recovered, but it rampaged around the Ultra Guardians headquarters, determined to rescue Solgaleo. This goes to show that Lunala seems to love Solgaleo, and is always willing to rescue it, no matter what it takes.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> :''See also: [[Light trio]]''<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{psychic color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{psychic color dark}}&quot;<br /> |- <br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{ghost color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | Full Moon phase<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{ghost color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | Fused with Necrozma<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Lunala Full Moon phase anime.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Dawn Wings Necrozma anime.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|ghost|Lunala {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Moongeist Beam|1=Phantom Force|2=Air Slash|3=Moonblast}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Moongeist Beam|1=Phantom Force|2=Air Slash|3=Moonblast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|ghost|Moongeist Beam|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov|fairy|Moonblast|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov|flying|Air Slash|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov|ghost|Phantom Force|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|ghost}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|ghost|Lunala Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom.png|Using&lt;br&gt;Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}<br /> {{anmov|ghost|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom|SM090|Securing the Future!{{tt|*|Base move is Moongeist Beam}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|ghost}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Necrozma==<br /> {{MissingInfo|1|java}}<br /> {{AnimePokémonInfobox<br /> |type1=Psychic<br /> |type2=Dragon<br /> |ball=None<br /> |nickname=Necrozma<br /> |jnickname=ネクロズマ<br /> |tmnickname=Necrozma<br /> |image=[[File:Ultra Necrozma anime.png|250px]]<br /> |caption=Necrozma<br /> |caught=no<br /> |gender=Gender unknown<br /> |ability=Unknown<br /> |epnum=SM087<br /> |epname=Filling the Light with Darkness!<br /> |prevonum=800U<br /> |noevo=incap<br /> |pokemonname=Necrozma<br /> |current=[[Poipole's world]]<br /> |java1=Unknown<br /> |enva1=<br /> }}<br /> '''Necrozma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネクロズマ''' ''Necrozma'') is a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon character in the anime]].<br /> <br /> ===History===<br /> {{p|Necrozma}} first appeared in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', where it chased after {{DL||Solgaleo}} and {{DL||Lunala}} in an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. They emerged from the Ultra Wormhole at the [[Altar of the Sunne]], appearing before {{Ash}}, {{ashcl}}, {{an|Gladion}}, {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], {{an|Faba}}, and {{an|Professor Burnet}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', despite the best efforts of {{p|Tapu Koko}} and the [[Ultra Guardians]], Necrozma was able to merge with Lunala and form {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. In this state, a special unit from [[Team Rocket]] attempted to catch it, but it was able to break through the net easily. Solgaleo then appeared and attacked Necrozma with {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, forcing it to separate from Lunala. However, Necrozma then merged with Solgaleo to form Dusk Mane Necrozma, and left through another Ultra Wormhole.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', the Ultra Guardians and Lunala followed Necrozma through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at {{AP|Poipole}}'s [[Poipole's world|home world]]. While Lunala went ahead to face Necrozma again, the Ultra Guardians stayed behind with {{p|Naganadel}} and were told of how Necrozma lost its light saving the world from a meteor. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians found Lunala in the process of being defeated by Necrozma and rescued it. Intent on freeing Solgaleo and restoring Poipole's home world, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Gladion}} fired simultaneous Z-Moves at Necrozma, hoping that their Z-Power would restore Necrozma to its true self as the Blinding One.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Necrozma absorbed the Z-Moves, but that wasn't enough to get it to let go of Solgaleo. However, with the combined Z-Power of the Ultra Guardians and their allies back in Alola, Necrozma was filled with enough light to release Solgaleo from its grasp. Despite their success, Necrozma was only angered by the attempt and attacked everyone so it could absorb Solgaleo once again. With the Z-Crystals they received from Solgaleo and Lunala, Ash and Gladion performed {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}, respectively. The two Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma back to its original self, Ultra Necrozma. Necrozma then used its power to restore Poipole's home world back to its previous state. Afterwards, Necrozma appeared in Alola before dissipating into light.<br /> <br /> In the anime, the [[Aether Foundation]], assuming that Necrozma is an [[Ultra Beast]], gives it the codename '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> In its weakened, black state, Necrozma was shown to be a highly aggressive Pokémon. It had a strong desire to absorb the light emitted by Lunala, determinedly chasing it all the way to [[Alola]]. It also took out anything that stood in its way, such as {{DL||Solgaleo}} when it fought to protect Lunala. According to a legend regarding Necrozma, it was once a benevolent Pokémon that gave light to the Alola region along with the other members of the [[Light trio]]. This benevolent side was first seen in a flashback in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it stopped a meteor from crashing into Poipole's world.<br /> <br /> Upon being restored to its original form, Necrozma once again returned to being a benevolent being, using its regained power to restore Poipole's world back to its original lustrous, green state.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> :''See also: [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|List of Pokémon with form differences → Necrozma]]''<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{psychic color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{psychic color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{psychic color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | Necrozma<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{ghost color light}};&quot; | Dawn Wings<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{steel color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | Dusk Mane<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Necrozma anime.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Dawn Wings Necrozma anime.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Dusk Mane Necrozma anime.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> ====Necrozma====<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic||Necrozma {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Prismatic Laser|1=Psycho Cut|2=Metal Claw}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Prismatic Laser|1=Psycho Cut|2=Metal Claw}}}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Prismatic Laser|SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Psycho Cut|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Metal Claw|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> <br /> ====Dawn Wings Necrozma====<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|ghost|Dawn Wings Necrozma {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Psycho Cut|1=Prismatic Laser}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Psycho Cut|1=Prismatic Laser}}}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Psycho Cut|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Prismatic Laser|SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|ghost}}<br /> <br /> ====Dusk Mane Necrozma====<br /> {{anmov/h|psychic|steel|Dusk Mane Necrozma {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Prismatic Laser|1=Metal Claw|2=Psycho Cut}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Prismatic Laser|1=Metal Claw|2=Psycho Cut}}}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Prismatic Laser|SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Metal Claw|SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Psycho Cut|SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|steel}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===In other languages===<br /> {|<br /> |- style=&quot;vertical-align:top&quot;<br /> |<br /> ''Blinding One''<br /> {{langtable|color={{psychic color}}|bordercolor={{items color dark}}<br /> |ja=かがやきさま ''Radiant One''<br /> |fi=Sokaiseva valo<br /> |fr=Grand Radieux<br /> |de=Seine Lumineszenz<br /> |it=Splendente<br /> |pt_br=Reluzente<br /> |pt_eu=Resplandescente<br /> |es=El Refulgente<br /> }}<br /> |<br /> ''UB Black''<br /> {{langtable|color={{psychic color}}|bordercolor={{items color dark}}<br /> |ja= '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black''<br /> |fi=UP Musta<br /> |fr=UC Noire<br /> |de=UB:Schwarz<br /> |it=UC: Nera<br /> |pt_br=UC Negra<br /> |pt_eu=UF: Preto<br /> |es=UE Negro<br /> }}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> For more information on this Pokémon's species, see {{p|Cosmog}}, {{p|Cosmoem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}}.<br /> * [[Nebby]]<br /> * [[Light trio]]<br /> <br /> {{Anime Pokémon|psychic|alola}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon|psychic|steel}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Animecharacters|psychic}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Solgaleo]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring wild Pokémon]]<br /> [[Category:Legendary Pokémon (anime)]]<br /> [[Category:Pokémon with anime move errors]]<br /> [[Category:Nicknamed Pokémon]]<br /> <br /> [[it:Trio Luce (serie animata)]]<br /> [[zh:传说的宇宙宝可梦（动画）]]</div>

Ash battled it, but it managed to knock out both {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Tepig}}. It later met Ash again when they came to investigate a tunnel, where they found {{TRT}} harvesting wild Roggenrola for their cannon. It too was collected, and Ash managed to save it, but not before Team Rocket caused a cave-in with a powerful Flash Cannon created by all of the Roggenrola they had collected. After they escaped the tunnel, they found Team Rocket in a warehouse where Ash and Roggenrola managed to free the other Roggenrola. Once they were reunited, they sent Team Rocket blasting off with a combined Flash Cannon. After being cured at the [[Pokémon Center]], Roggenrola challenged Ash to a rematch, where it was eventually defeated by Tepig and captured.<br /> <br /> In the [[BW035|next episode]], Roggenrola was used to help locate where the missing {{p|Audino}} were going. Cilan stated that Roggenrola had sensitive hearing similar to Audino and could pick up sounds that were inaudible to humans. Thanks to it, they were able to find out where the Audino were being kept. It also made use of its Stone Edge by destroying Team Rocket's sound wave machine that controlled the Audino, thus setting them free.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Roggenrola was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Tepig using {{m|Ember}}, which soon became {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} using {{m|Dragon Rage}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Boldore Sturdy.png|thumb|250px|Sturdy activated]]<br /> In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Roggenrola helped rescue the members of the [[Forces of Nature]] from Team Rocket. It repeatedly used Flash Cannon on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter until it was joined by Pikachu, [[Iris's Axew]] and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}, and [[Cilan's Pansage]] to cause the force field prisons trapping the trio to break.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Roggenrola was Ash's final Pokémon in his [[Driftveil Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Clay and his {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}, despite the type disadvantage, Ash chose Roggenrola as he wanted it to endure {{p|Excadrill}}'s powerful attacks and then counterattack. Roggenrola used Sandstorm creating a {{weather|Sandstorm}}, but this did no visible damage to Excadrill, due to it being a part {{type|Ground}} and part {{type|Steel}}. Excadrill then used Drill Run underground, hitting Roggenrola multiple times by going in and out of the ground. Excadrill then used its [[one-hit knockout move]] {{m|Horn Drill}} on Roggenrola, and although Roggenrola endured it thanks to its {{a|Sturdy}} [[Ability]], it looked to be exhausted. Just when all seemed lost, Roggenrola immediately evolved into a {{p|Boldore}}. Excadrill used Horn Drill again but was blocked by Sturdy once more, and then went for another Drill Run. Boldore caught this and used its red stones to communicate with Ash about its new move, Rock Blast. Using Rock Blast, Boldore was able to deal damage to Excadrill and knock it back. It then communicated its other new move, Rock Smash, which it immediately used. Excadrill used Rock Smash as well and whilst both were powerful, Boldore's Rock Smash overpowered Excadrill's, defeating the Subterrene Pokémon and winning Ash the {{badge|Quake}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Boldore Cilan Crustle teamwork.png|thumb|left|250px|Boldore and Crustle blocking Escavalier's attack]]<br /> In ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', Ash used Boldore in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against {{an|Bianca}}'s newly evolved {{p|Escavalier}} and [[Professor Juniper]]'s newly evolved {{p|Accelgor}}, accompanied by Cilan and his {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}. Boldore was able to hit both of its opponents with Rock Smash at the start of the battle and alongside Crustle, held back Escavalier's {{m|Fury Attack}}. While Escavalier was dodging Crustle's {{m|Rock Slide}}, Boldore was able to hit it hard with Rock Blast until Accelgor came to Escavalier's defense with {{m|Substitute}}. Taking advantage of a weakened Accelgor, Ash ordered Boldore to use Flash Cannon on it, but Escavalier was able to deflect the attack. Boldore was knocked back into Crustle by Escavalier's Fury Attack and, protecting its partner, was knocked out by Escavalier and Accelgor's combined {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'', Ash used Boldore as his first Pokémon during his [[Gym]] battle against [[Roxie]], sending it out to face her {{p|Koffing}}. At first, Boldore attacked with Sandstorm, but Koffing endured it and countered with {{m|Clear Smog}}. Next Boldore used Rock Blast, but Koffing blocked it and attacked with {{m|Gyro Ball}}. The Ore Pokémon managed to endure it and overcome Koffing's following {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack with Flash Cannon, but then Boldore was defeated by the Poison Gas Pokémon when it attacked again with Gyro Ball, easily penetrating Boldore's Sandstorm defense.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Boldore was used in the second round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Geraldo]]'s {{p|Reuniclus}}. It was able to knock out Reuniclus with a powerful Rock Blast and won the battle. Thus, Ash advanced to the semi-finals.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Boldore as his first Pokémon in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{un|Cameron}} and his {{p|Hydreigon}}. The Brutal Pokémon proved itself a tough opponent for the Ore Pokémon, immediately scoring direct hits with {{m|Tri Attack}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Although Hydreigon was able to avoid Boldore's Rock Blast, it was unable to dodge a super-effective Rock Smash. However, this wasn't enough, as Hydreigon then attacked with {{m|Dragon Rush}}, another Tri Attack, and finally, Dragon Pulse, which easily overpowered Boldore's Flash Cannon, defeating the {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', [[Professor Juniper]] sent Boldore to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] before Ash left for [[Kanto]], touring through the [[Decolore Islands]]. It later reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. Boldore joined in with them to launch a group attack on Team Rocket, using Flash Cannon to send them blasting off for the final time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''. Boldore later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, it was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> Boldore, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, it watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Boldore watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, and {{an|Cynthia}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Boldore appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Boldore, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash and Boldore.png|thumb|250px|Boldore and Ash]]<br /> As a Roggenrola, Boldore has shown to be very resourceful, using a stand-alone bowl for defense, as well as using its Flash Cannon attack to destroy falling boulders, or its Sandstorm to put out a fire. It also appears to care deeply for others and goes out of its way to ensure their safety, such as the lengths it went to save the other Roggenrola, even to go as far as to risk its life facing Team Rocket's mecha head on. It also made sure other wild Pokémon in the general area knew of the impending danger, despite the issue not involving them. This is also seen in ''[[BW035|Where Did You Go, Audino?]]'' when it sought out the missing {{p|Audino}} with its hearing ability. It was also shown to get quite excitable, bouncing up and down, when helping to save the day in ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'' and ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]''. <br /> <br /> After evolving, Boldore was shown to retain its friendly personality, even affectionately climbing on top of Ash when he hugged it after he won his match against the Driftveil City [[Gym Leader]] [[Clay]].<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|Rock||Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Boldore Sandstorm|1=Roggenrola Stone Edge|2=Boldore Flash Cannon|3=Boldore Rock Blast|4=Boldore Rock Smash|5=Roggenrola Sandstorm|6=Roggenrola Flash Cannon}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Sandstorm|1=Stone Edge&lt;br&gt;as a Roggenrola|2=Flash Cannon|3=Rock Blast|4=Rock Smash|5=Sandstorm&lt;br&gt;as a Roggenrola|6=Flash Cannon&lt;br&gt;as a Roggenrola}}}}<br /> {{anmov|rock|Sandstorm|BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|rock|Stone Edge|BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Flash Cannon|BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|rock|Rock Blast|BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Rock Smash|BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|rock}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{rock color}}; border: 3px solid #{{rock color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Ash BW Team combination attack.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''<br /> | {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Air Cutter}}, {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, and {{m|Stone Edge}}<br /> | Ash's rotation for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' Boldore combines its Flash Cannon attack with a joint Flamethrower attack from {{AP|Pignite}} and {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Snivy}}'s Leaf Storm, {{AP|Oshawott}}'s Hydro Pump attack, {{AP|Unfezant}}'s Air Cutter attack, {{AP|Scraggy}}'s Focus Blast, {{AP|Leavanny}}'s Energy Ball, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s Thunderbolt, {{AP|Palpitoad}}'s Mud Shot, and {{AP|Krookodile}}'s Stone Edge attack to create a gigantic blast of energy.

Silver]]|<br /> }}<br /> '''Ash's Larvitar''' (Japanese: '''サトシのヨーギラス''' ''Satoshi's Yogiras'') was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} cared for briefly in the [[Johto]] [[region]]. Like {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, Ash did not {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} this Pokémon, and therefore, he did not officially own it.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> ====[[Original series]]====<br /> [[File:Larvitar Egg.png|thumb|left|220px|Larvitar's {{pkmn|Egg}}]]<br /> In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', Ash picked up an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Marine Pokémon Laboratory]] after he received a call from [[Professor Elm]]. [[Naomi]] revealed that the mysterious Egg was originally stolen by [[Pokémon poacher]]s from a Pokémon preserve on [[Mt. Silver]]. Later, a member of the public had found the Egg and brought it to Naomi's lab.<br /> <br /> In [[EP258|the next episode]], the Egg hatched into Larvitar. Ash and {{ashfr}} were forced to take it to a [[Pokémon Center]] when its skin temperature quickly fell. Overnight, Ash entered Larvitar's memories, which revealed that a motorcyclist fell onto the ground and Larvitar's Egg broke free of its crate in the process. Larvitar's Egg traveled downstream, where it was kicked around by a crowd of people and then narrowly avoided being hit by an oncoming truck. Later on, at [[New Bark Town]], Professor Elm tells Ash to return Larvitar to its home on Mt. Silver.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', a wild {{p|Elekid}} took an interest in Larvitar. Although it was uncomfortable at first, it slowly warmed up to the Electric Pokémon after they were both captured by Team Rocket. They were eventually saved by Ash and {{an|Casey}}, which the latter went on to capture Elekid. Larvitar expressed sadness over the loss of its new friend, with Casey assuring Larvitar that she would look after it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', {{TRT}} kidnapped a handful of Trainer's Pokémon, with Larvitar being the only one to avoid being captured. As Team Rocket attempted to escape with the Pokémon, Larvitar {{m|Bite|bit}} onto their rear tire and popped it. While the trio took time to fix it, Larvitar snuck into their base and freed Ash. After being told to help the others, it returned to the truck and popped the tire once again. This stalled the group long enough for the other Pokémon to make their escape and their Trainers to find them. With everyone safe, Team Rocket was sent blasting off.<br /> [[File:Ash and Larvitar SM042.png|thumb|250px|Larvitar and Ash]]<br /> [[File:Ash Larvitar released.png|thumb|220px|left|Larvitar saying goodbye]]<br /> In ''[[EP263|Address Unown!]]'', an {{p|Unown}} teleported Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Misty}} to a dimension that physically manifested images and experiences from Larvitar's life. Ash and his friends then reached a {{pkmn2|giant}} Larvitar Egg with holes in it, as well as a large crystalline thorn sticking out of it. Inside the holes were images of Ash, Misty, and Brock. Both Misty and Brock appeared in black and white, symbolizing Larvitar's distrust towards them. After Ash touched the thorn, he, Misty, Brock, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} were transported inside the Egg and into another dimension where Larvitar was seen sleeping. There, Ash and his friends received visions of Larvitar as an Egg. The group then heard Larvitar's voice as it was kidnapped by the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] and sensed its {{p|Tyranitar|mother}} being brutally attacked. It was later separated from the poachers and mistakenly kicked around. Larvitar's past manifested into thorny branches encasing it, developing into a block of crystal. Together, Ash, Misty, and Brock were able to destroy the branches around Larvitar and help it open up more.<br /> <br /> Since that incident, Larvitar became more comfortable around Misty and Brock, but it still hardened around other human beings. It was then reunited with its mother in ''[[EP264|Mother of All Battles!]]'', who at first believed Ash and his friends were harming her child. Tyranitar eventually calmed down once she realized Ash and his friends' peaceful and benevolent actions around Larvitar. However, the poachers that initially stolen Larvitar, the Pokémon Poacher Brothers, returned to capture her, but they were eventually captured through the teamwork of Ash, his friends, [[Ranger Mason]], and Larvitar. Afterward, Larvitar was left at Mt. Silver.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''====<br /> Larvitar reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' while Ash, Brock, and Misty were reminiscing about their travels together.<br /> [[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|Larvitar in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]<br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Larvitar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Larvitar appeared in a fantasy while Ash reminisced about the Pokémon he'd caught on his journey.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> Larvitar was particularly shy around humans after birth, and it would subsequently often {{m|Harden}} itself towards them. The trauma that Larvitar suffered as an {{pkmn|Egg}} was the main reason for its introverted nature.<br /> <br /> During its adventures with Ash, Larvitar gradually learned to appreciate life and everything around it. Larvitar became very close to Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and went on to make some friends with other Pokémon as well.<br /> <br /> Its impressive strength was first shown in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me if You Can]]'', after it defeated {{TRT}} with its powerful {{m|Hidden Power}}. Larvitar developed a very courageous attitude in ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', where it managed to rescue a group of Pokémon from Team Rocket by itself.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|Rock|Ground|Ash Larvitar {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Hidden Power|1=Harden|2=Screech|3=Bite|4=Dig}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Hidden Power|1=Harden|2=Screech|3=Bite|4=Dig}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Screech|EP258|Hatch Me if You Can|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Hidden Power|EP258|Hatch Me if You Can|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Harden|EP258|Hatch Me if You Can|rec=yes|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|Dark|Bite|EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!}}<br /> {{anmov|Ground|Dig|EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|Ground|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ===Artwork===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{ground color dark}}; background: #{{rock color}}; font-size:80%;&quot;<br /> |- <br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|20px}} border: 2px solid #{{rock color dark}}; background: #{{ground color light}}&quot; | [[File:Pokémon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master poster.png|x250px]]<br /> |-<br /> | Poster for the Japanese version of&lt;br&gt;''{{color2|000|Pokémon: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master}}''<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Ash Larvitar AP.png|thumb|200px|Larvitar in [[Ash &amp; Pikachu]]]]<br /> [[File:Ash Larvitar Egg AP.png|thumb|left|200px|Larvitar in its Egg]]<br /> ===Ash &amp; Pikachu===<br /> Larvitar first appeared in ''[[SP15|A Mysterious Egg!!]]'' as an Egg.

Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} wanted to catch him, and although Totodile was stunned briefly by {{AP|Pikachu}}, he managed to escape from their [[Poké Ball]]s and knock them down with a powerful Water Gun attack. Totodile then came across {{TRT}}, devoured their lunch himself, and sent them blasting off. Finally tracked down by Ash and Misty, Totodile jumped into the bushes just as they both threw their [[Lure Ball]]s at him. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had caught him. As both of them wanted Totodile for themselves, {{an|Brock}} declared a {{pkmn|battle}} to decide who would keep him. [[Ash's Chikorita]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeated [[Misty's Staryu]] and her newly-evolved {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, respectively, winning the battle and earning Ash the new Totodile.<br /> [[File:EP153.png|thumb|220px|Totodile in love]]<br /> Totodile was shown to be fairly romantic, as he quickly fell in love with an {{p|Azumarill}} in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''. Totodile's advances were spurned repeatedly by Azumarill, and Brock's decision to teach Totodile to be successful in love was no more successful. But when Azumarill and Pikachu were captured by Team Rocket, Totodile ignored Ash and Brock's orders for him to come back and single-handedly chased Team Rocket down, locating them in a log cabin. Totodile got captured himself but managed to cheer Azumarill up at least. When Azumarill's Trainer, [[Trixie]], arrived with Ash and his friends, Totodile blasted Team Rocket down to help rescue Azumarill but discovered that Azumarill was in love with Trixie's {{p|Golduck}}, who had defeated {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Brock consoled Totodile that although he can't win every time, love is worth fighting for. Totodile seemed to take this advice in stride, falling for a {{p|Quagsire}} before the end of the episode.<br /> <br /> Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]], but he was only used once in a Gym battle in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]''. He went up against [[Whitney's Miltank]], which proved to be far too powerful, and her {{m|Rollout}} attack, already powered up in the battle with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, knocked out Totodile in one hit. In the [[EP159|rematch]], Totodile performed better, launching himself into the air with Water Gun and landing on top of Miltank, but he was quickly shaken off and knocked out.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', he was initially used against [[Janina]], whom Ash believed to be [[Jasmine]], the Olivine City Gym Leader. Against her {{p|Onix}}, which had been coated in waterproof polish, Totodile was defeated by one {{m|Tackle}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Totodile battling in vain.png|thumb|left|220px|Totodile battling in vain against Miltank]]<br /> As one of Ash's only {{type|Water}} Pokémon, Totodile was the first choice for Ash's team in the [[Whirl Cup]], along with {{AP|Kingler}}. In the battle with {{OBP|Christopher|EP216}} and his {{p|Kingdra}} in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'', Totodile showed his skills by escaping a {{m|Twister}} and defeating Kingdra by using Bite on its snout while Kingdra used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and the result of having too much water in its body sent it off flying, and thus was defeated. In the head-to-head battle with {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', Totodile put up a good fight against her Poliwhirl by Headbutting it into a pillar, but was knocked out by a high-speed dive and {{m|Double Slap}}.<br /> <br /> Totodile was used briefly in the {{jo|Battle Park}} in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', where he defeated a powerful {{p|Charizard}} used by [[Jessie]] after using Scary Face for the first time. He also fought in the unofficial Coastline Gym in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', where he was revealed to know Slash. Totodile put up a very good fight in the underwater arena against [[Dorian]]'s {{p|Lanturn}}, but Ash's inexperience in such battles and a type disadvantage caused him to lose.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', Totodile was sent out to battle a wild {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}} that was preventing the retrieval of the {{m|Sacred Fire}} needed to begin the [[Silver Conference]]. However, through a combination of Slash and {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Totodile and Ash were sent flying back.<br /> [[File:Totodile Dance.png|thumb|220px|Totodile dancing in excitement after defeating Sneasel]]<br /> Totodile joined {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} in Ash's battle against [[Macy]] in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''. He squared off against her {{p|Slugma}}, who was quickly swapped with her surprise entrant, {{p|Electabuzz}}. Ash responded to this by [[recall]]ing Totodile in favor of Phanpy. Later in the battle, Totodile faced Electabuzz again, and the type disadvantage was evident - Totodile's water was blocked by {{m|Light Screen}}, and an attempt to Headbutt through resulted in a {{m|Thunder Punch}} knockout.<br /> <br /> Totodile redeemed himself in a battle against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', settling the score with Sneasel. Totodile bit down on Sneasel's arm to prevent a {{m|Metal Claw}} attack, and knocked it out with his tail. His victory dance was very well received by the audience. Totodile's Scary Face attack had no effect against Harrison's {{p|Hypno}}, and he was taken control of with a {{m|Hypnosis}} attack, before being defeated by {{m|Psychic}}.<br /> <br /> Ash left Totodile at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], along with his other Johto Pokémon, when he departed for the [[Hoenn]] region.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====<br /> In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Totodile was seen squirting [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] with a Water Gun attack, but he was fired back again. Totodile later had his revenge by squirting them again with Water Gun, this time landing a successful hit. Later, he was seen blasting Cassidy and Butch off and destroying their helicopter.<br /> <br /> In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', a string of events caused by {{AP|Kingler}} caused Totodile to land next to {{AP|Snorlax}}, which eventually led to to the {{AP|Tauros}} stampeding through Professor Oak's lab. This allowed a group of [[starter Pokémon]] to escape.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Totodile met and danced with {{AP|Glalie}}.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Totodile reunited with Ash. He was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being recalled to his Lure Ball. Later, he helped to put out the fire caused by Cyndaquil, together with {{AP|Corphish}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Totodile was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''====<br /> Totodile was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''====<br /> <br /> Totodile briefly appeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', swimming underwater at a pond near Oak's Laboratory with Corphish.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash Pokémon celebration.png|250px|thumb|Totodile celebrating Ash's win against Leon]]<br /> In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Totodile reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> Totodile, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he was seen relaxing with {{AP|Snorlax}} and {{AP|Krookodile}} and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Totodile watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Totodile appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash won the battle, Totodile joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Totodile, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> <br /> In [[JN138]], Totodile was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, he reunited with {{an|Misty}} and later watched as she and Ash battled over a wild {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}}. Totodile, along with Pikachu, was also seen greeting {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} when Misty chose it for battle.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash and Totodile.png|thumb|250px|left|Totodile and Ash]]<br /> Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. He is always happy and shows this by dancing, a theme that is focused on when he is released from his Lure Ball, even when being called into a battle. He also unabashedly introduced himself to {{AP|Larvitar}} first in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', energetically swinging Larvitar around in a circle. However, when times call for it, Totodile can be a powerful opponent, as seen when he managed to defeat [[Harrison's Sneasel]], who had been causing trouble for Ash and Harrison earlier on in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.<br /> [[File:Ash Krookodile Snorlax and Totodile.png|thumb|250px|Totodile with Krookodile and Snorlax]]<br /> Totodile also acts as a comic relief character, as his tendency to dance is shown in many important matches, frustrating Ash, and confusing his opponents. His most significant battle, defeating Harrison's Sneasel, depicted him biting Sneasel's hand and dancing around whilst thrashing Sneasel into the ground. His Scary Face attack has also been used as a joke a couple of times, one being in a battle with [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}}, Mini-Dit, where Totodile laughed at its {{m|Transform|imitation}} of the move before continuing the battle.<br /> <br /> Totodile likes to spend time with [[Ash's Corphish]], as shown in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where they were found near each other on [[Lily of the Valley Island]], and in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', where they were seen underwater together.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|water|| {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Ash Totodile Water Gun.png|1=Ash Totodile Bite.png|2=Ash Totodile Scratch.png}}|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Water Gun|1=Bite|2=Scratch}}|image2=Ash Totodile {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Slash|1=Scary Face|2=Headbutt}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Slash|1=Scary Face|2=Headbutt}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|EP151|The Totodile Duel}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Bite|EP151|The Totodile Duel|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|EP151|The Totodile Duel|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP174|Imitation Confrontation{{tt|*|Used by Duplica's Mini-Dit after it transformed into Totodile.}}|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Headbutt|EP213|A Corsola Caper!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scary Face|EP248|One Trick Phony!{{tt|*|Revealed to know in EP174 where it was used by Duplica's Mini-Dit while transform into Totodile}}|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|EP256|Just Add Water}}<br /> {{anmov/f|water|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> * Ash commanded Totodile to use {{m|Skull Bash}} in the English dub of ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'', a move which Totodile cannot legally learn.

One of the Heracross followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} as they tried to figure out a solution to stop a territorial dispute between the Heracross and {{p|Pinsir}}, which, unsurprisingly, came in the form of {{TRT}}. Team Rocket was stopped thanks to the Heracross and the Pinsir were able to return to their forest, leaving the {{p|Butterfree}} and Heracross. However, the same Heracross was still intrigued by Ash and followed him out of the forest. Eventually, Ash saw him following and the Heracross happily allowed himself to be caught.<br /> <br /> Heracross's battle debut came in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'', where he battled one of [[Rochelle]]'s {{p|Donphan}}, easily outclassing it before the battle was interrupted. Although he lost a subsequent battle to her most experienced Donphan, Ash was satisfied that he had gained significant battle experience. <br /> <br /> He scored a significant victory over [[Nickname|Blade]], [[Shingo]]'s {{p|Scizor}}, in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. He initially had trouble with his {{m|Leer}} attack being ineffective when Blade used {{m|Quick Attack}}. However, Heracross's reaction time of 0.18 gave him the advantage over Scizor's claws, and he soon learned to anticipate Blade's movements. Shingo abandoned his laptop analytics and began to order Blade's battle, where the two proved to be very powerful. However, Heracross managed to dodge Blade's Quick Attack, knocked it off balance when it attempted a {{m|False Swipe}} and finished Blade off with {{m|Horn Attack}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Heracross Gary Magmar.png|thumb|220px|Defeating Magmar with Megahorn]]<br /> Heracross was sent to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' in exchange for one of [[Ash's Tauros]]. Ash later sent Tauros back in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad]]'', and left Heracross in the Professor's care so he could study Heracross's behavior further. He made an appearance in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador!]]'', where he was happy to see {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb, having taken a liking to the nectar it contains, at Oak's lab.<br /> <br /> Ash had Heracross return to his team for his [[Silver Conference]] match against [[rival]] {{Gary}}. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash sent him out to fight Gary's {{p|Nidoqueen}}, but Gary quickly pulled Nidoqueen for his {{p|Magmar}}. Heracross fought Magmar regardless of the [[type]] disadvantage, sending Magmar flying with Fury Attack. Magmar launched a three-pronged attack - {{m|Fire Blast}}, a point-blank {{m|Flamethrower}}, and its own body weight from the fall. However, Heracross overcame the flames by beating them away with his wings. He then broke through Magmar's defense with Megahorn, taking out the Spitfire Pokémon. However, {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} proved to be a harder challenge, firing a {{m|Hydro Pump}} powerful enough to blow away Heracross's rock cover and take him out of the battle.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====<br /> In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Heracross warned the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Heracross met and shook hands with {{AP|Grovyle}} during Ash's brief return to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Ash used Heracross in the battle against [[Spenser]]. Upon being sent out, Heracross immediately went to eat the sap from Spenser's {{p|Venusaur}}. Heracross managed to knock aside the {{m|Razor Leaf}} with Horn Attack before he was knocked back by a {{m|Vine Whip}}. The two Pokémon rammed into each other with Tackle, both proving to be extremely powerful physically. Heracross struck hard with a Megahorn, then took advantage of the {{m|Solar Beam}} charge-up time to hit again. However, Solar Beam then struck Heracross, knocking him out.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash and Heracross.png|thumb|250px|left|Heracross and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Heracross was intended to be sent to Ash. However, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was sent instead. He did join Ash for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where he was used for Ash's battle with [[Nando]] in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''. Heracross was Ash's third and final Pokémon in the match and he was put up against {{TP|Nando|Kricketune}}, and sent flying by {{m|Silver Wind}}. Kricketune then used {{m|Sing}} to put Heracross to sleep. However, while asleep, he was able to dodge Kricketune's {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack because of his newly learned {{m|Sleep Talk}} attack, and combined his other new technique, {{m|Focus Punch}}. After Heracross woke up, he defeated Kricketune with a powerful Megahorn-Horn Attack combo, just before Kricketune attempted another Sing. After the battle, Heracross showed his affection towards Ash by suckling on his head.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Heracross was the first Pokémon to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semifinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He seemed to be an excellent choice, with a double type advantage over the {{type|Dark}} and a recently learned Hyper Beam, which collided with {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}. He tried to attack Darkrai with Horn Attack, but was put to sleep by {{m|Dark Void}}. Due to Sleep Talk, he was able to hit the [[Mythical Pokémon]] with a Megahorn, only to be defeated when Darkrai used {{m|Dream Eater}}, which allowed Darkrai to recover some damage dealt by Heracross.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''====<br /> Heracross was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Heracross reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> Heracross, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Lucario]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> [[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]<br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Heracross watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Heracross appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash won the battle, Heracross joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Heracross, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> <br /> In [[JN143]], Heracross was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it helped in freeing a trapped {{p|Wailmer}}. Despite Wailmer evolving into a {{p|Wailord}} and getting stuck again, they were able to free the Float Whale Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In [[JN147]], Heracross assisted Ash in looking for a missing {{p|Charmander}} from the lab, but to no avail.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> Heracross is an eager but easily distracted Pokémon, especially regarding sap. For example, in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', {{MTR}} dropped a jar of sap to allow {{TRT}} to escape with {{AP|Pikachu}}. He also likes to suck sap from plants or trees, as well as {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb whenever the two are together, annoying Bulbasaur enough to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to push him away. Again, this is distracting for him, as in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'' when he went for Bulbasaur's bulb before helping to rescue {{AP|Chikorita}}. Heracross doesn't appear to care how much this annoys Bulbasaur.<br /> <br /> Despite these minor flaws, he is a powerful battler, and also physically strong, capable of throwing {{TRT}}'s tank into the air in ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''. Hercross's strong wings bolster his powerful horn.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|bug|fighting|Ash Heracross {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Megahorn|1=Sleep Talk|2=Horn Attack|3=Hyper Beam|4=Focus Punch}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Megahorn|1=Sleep Talk|2=Horn Attack|3=Hyper Beam|4=Focus Punch}}|image2=Ash Heracross {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Tackle|1=Leer|2=Endure|3=Fury Attack|4=Take Down}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Tackle|1=Leer|2=Endure|3=Fury Attack|4=Take Down}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Horn Attack|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Endure|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Leer|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Take Down|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Attack|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|bug|Megahorn|EP269|The Ties That Bind|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Sleep Talk|DP183|League Unleashed!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Focus Punch|DP183|League Unleashed!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Hyper Beam|DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|fighting}}<br /> <br /> * Ash told Heracross to use {{m|Fury Swipes}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.

However, {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} proved to be a harder challenge, firing a {{m|Hydro Pump}} powerful enough to blow away Heracross's rock cover and take him out of the battle.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]====<br /> In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Heracross warned the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', Heracross met and shook hands with {{AP|Grovyle}} during Ash's brief return to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Ash used Heracross in the battle against [[Spenser]]. Upon being sent out, Heracross immediately went to eat the sap from Spenser's {{p|Venusaur}}. Heracross managed to knock aside the {{m|Razor Leaf}} with Horn Attack before he was knocked back by a {{m|Vine Whip}}. The two Pokémon rammed into each other with Tackle, both proving to be extremely powerful physically. Heracross struck hard with a Megahorn, then took advantage of the {{m|Solar Beam}} charge-up time to hit again. However, Solar Beam then struck Heracross, knocking him out.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash and Heracross.png|thumb|250px|left|Heracross and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Heracross was intended to be sent to Ash. However, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was sent instead. He did join Ash for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where he was used for Ash's battle with [[Nando]] in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''. Heracross was Ash's third and final Pokémon in the match and he was put up against {{TP|Nando|Kricketune}}, and sent flying by {{m|Silver Wind}}. Kricketune then used {{m|Sing}} to put Heracross to sleep. However, while asleep, he was able to dodge Kricketune's {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack because of his newly learned {{m|Sleep Talk}} attack, and combined his other new technique, {{m|Focus Punch}}. After Heracross woke up, he defeated Kricketune with a powerful Megahorn-Horn Attack combo, just before Kricketune attempted another Sing. After the battle, Heracross showed his affection towards Ash by suckling on his head.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Heracross was the first Pokémon to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semifinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. He seemed to be an excellent choice, with a double type advantage over the {{type|Dark}} and a recently learned Hyper Beam, which collided with {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}. He tried to attack Darkrai with Horn Attack, but was put to sleep by {{m|Dark Void}}. Due to Sleep Talk, he was able to hit the [[Mythical Pokémon]] with a Megahorn, only to be defeated when Darkrai used {{m|Dream Eater}}, which allowed Darkrai to recover some damage dealt by Heracross.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''====<br /> Heracross was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where he and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Heracross reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> Heracross, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Lucario]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> [[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]<br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Heracross watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Heracross appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash won the battle, Heracross joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Heracross, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> <br /> In [[JN143]], Heracross was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it helped in freeing a trapped {{p|Wailmer}}. Despite Wailmer evolving into a {{p|Wailord}} and getting stuck again, they were able to free the Float Whale Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In [[JN147]], Heracross assisted Ash in looking for a missing {{p|Charmander}} from the lab, but to no avail.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> Heracross is an eager but easily distracted Pokémon, especially regarding sap. For example, in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', {{MTR}} dropped a jar of sap to allow {{TRT}} to escape with {{AP|Pikachu}}. He also likes to suck sap from plants or trees, as well as {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb whenever the two are together, annoying Bulbasaur enough to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to push him away. Again, this is distracting for him, as in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'' when he went for Bulbasaur's bulb before helping to rescue {{AP|Chikorita}}. Heracross doesn't appear to care how much this annoys Bulbasaur.<br /> <br /> Despite these minor flaws, he is a powerful battler, and also physically strong, capable of throwing {{TRT}}'s tank into the air in ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''. Hercross's strong wings bolster his powerful horn.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|bug|fighting|Ash Heracross {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Megahorn|1=Sleep Talk|2=Horn Attack|3=Hyper Beam|4=Focus Punch}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Megahorn|1=Sleep Talk|2=Horn Attack|3=Hyper Beam|4=Focus Punch}}|image2=Ash Heracross {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Tackle|1=Leer|2=Endure|3=Fury Attack|4=Take Down}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Tackle|1=Leer|2=Endure|3=Fury Attack|4=Take Down}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Horn Attack|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Endure|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Leer|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Take Down|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Attack|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|bug|Megahorn|EP269|The Ties That Bind|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Sleep Talk|DP183|League Unleashed!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Focus Punch|DP183|League Unleashed!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Hyper Beam|DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|fighting}}<br /> <br /> * Ash told Heracross to use {{m|Fury Swipes}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.

It was the leader of a flock of {{pkmn2|wild}} Taillow in [[Petalburg Woods]]. It stole [[Max]]'s chocolate and challenged {{AP|Pikachu}} to a {{pkmn|battle}}. It also led the entire flock on a ceaseless attack until {{an|Brock}} and his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} intervened and used {{m|Explosion}} to drive them away. Taillow then showed up alone and challenged Pikachu, and even though it took countless {{m|Thunderbolt}}s and a {{m|Thunder}} from Pikachu, it still kept fighting. On Brock's advice, Ash captured Taillow to prevent it from getting hurt anymore. Ash then sent it out and Brock helped it recover.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', it had its first official battle was against [[Nicholai]] and his {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Taillow's impressive flying techniques allowed it to match Nicholai's newly-caught Pokémon well; however, the winner of the match is unknown. It also fought {{OBP|Anthony|AG010}}'s {{p|Pelipper}} in ''[[AG010|You Said a Mouthful!]]'', where it handled the battle well but lost when a {{p|Magby}} hidden inside Pelipper's bill used {{m|Flamethrower}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]'', Ash chose it to battle the {{type|Fighting}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brawly]]'s {{p|Machop}}. Taillow managed to land several Wing Attacks on Machop, but Brawly's Pokémon managed to weather the attacks to land a devastating {{m|Cross Chop}} at the vital moment, taking Taillow out in a single hit. Taillow, with {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Treecko}} and Pikachu, took up a meditation program to prepare for the [[rematch]]. However, Taillow was substituted for Corphish in the rematch in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers!]]''.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', Ash used Taillow to battle [[Drew]] and his {{TP|Drew|Roselia}}, mainly for the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]]. Taillow used Peck which hit Roselia, who quickly counterattacked with {{m|Magical Leaf}}. Taillow swiftly dodged it and Roselia used {{m|Petal Dance}}, which Taillow avoided by flying upwards. It then went for a Peck, flying directly into but a {{m|Stun Spore}} cloud, leaving it {{status|paralyzed}}. Roselia followed up with a {{m|Solar Beam}}, and due to the paralysis, Taillow was unable to dodge, knocking Taillow out.<br /> [[File:Ash Crossgate PokéRinger.png|thumb|220px|Swellow and Ash after winning the [[Crossgate PokéRinger]]]]<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', Ash entered Taillow in the [[Crossgate PokéRinger]] competition. Unbelievable determination allowed Taillow to shrug off {{type|Electric}} attacks from defending champion [[Volt]]'s {{p|Volbeat}}, before retaliating to fly to victory. In the final, Taillow went up against [[James]] and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, starting strongly until a sand tornado kicked up. Determined to win, Taillow flew into the storm but was too small against the gale. In its desperation, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into Swellow and easily broke through, using Wing Attack to flick the ring onto the goal and win the tournament, earning Ash {{wp|honorary citizenship}} of [[Crossgate Town]]. It then singlehandedly sent the sore losers {{TRT}} blasting off.<br /> [[File:Ash Swellow defeating Winona.png|thumb|left|220px|Defeating Winona's Swellow]]<br /> In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Swellow fought [[Winona]]'s {{shiny}} Swellow despite Winona's using more powerful attacks such as {{m|Hyper Beam}} and Aerial Ace. However, Ash quickly recovered from Hyper Beam and ordered Swellow to create a dust cloud to blind and slow Winona's Swellow down. It then struck with Wing Attack and knocked out Winona's Swellow, winning the battle for Ash. After this victory, Ash became determined to teach his Swellow Aerial Ace, beginning in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry]]''. Swellow initially struggled, but with the help of [[Vladimir]] and his {{p|Pidgeotto}}, Ash was able to teach Swellow the move in [[AG091|the next episode]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'' it teamed up with Pikachu in a Double Battle against [[Tate and Liza]], as Ash inspected the terrain and decided an aerial fighter would be necessary. The two of them struggled to defeat {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}} and {{TP|Tate|Solrock}}, with Swellow only landing a Peck on {{p|Lunatone}} with little damage inflicted. Swellow came to Pikachu's rescue, carrying him into the air and away from the pummelling it was taking. Pikachu's Thunderbolt was sent back onto the team by Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, but Swellow managed to shrug off most of the damage. Swellow then used a newly learned Double Team to distract the duo while it flew above them. Pikachu used Thunder on some thunder clouds above with the clouds spitting the electricity back at Pikachu and Swellow. What should have hurt Swellow and Pikachu powered them up instead and turned them a metallic golden color, called Thunder Armor. Swellow easily diverted {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} and then took Lunatone out with a supercharged Aerial Ace.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', Ash used Swellow in the second round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle, going up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Whiscash}}. Swellow used Quick Attack but was caught by Whiscash's barbels, and then used {{m|Tickle}} to weaken Swellow's {{stat|Defense}}. Whiscash then launched a Hyper Beam that Swellow could not dodge due to still being caught in Whiscash's barbels. Much to Juan's surprise Swellow got back up. Swellow then launched an Aerial Ace, diving underwater to strike Whiscash. Juan ordered another Hyper Beam which Swellow dodged using its Quick Attack. It then transitioned into Aerial Ace, knocking Whiscash out before it could dive for cover. Juan then used his last and most powerful Pokémon, {{p|Milotic}}. Milotic used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which Swellow was able to dodge and landed an Aerial Ace, but it didn't do much damage to the Tender Pokémon. Milotic used {{m|Iron Tail}} which Swellow dodged by using Double Team, but Milotic used {{m|Twister}}, destroying the copies and crashing Swellow into the roof, knocking Swellow out.<br /> [[File:Ash Swellow Katie Scizor.png|thumb|220px|Defeating Katie's Scizor]]<br /> In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', Ash used Swellow as his fifth Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament part of the [[Ever Grande Conference]], it went up against Katie's {{p|Venomoth}} since it had a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|type advantage}} against it. Venomoth used {{m|Stun Spore}}, but Swellow was able to dodge it successfully and hit Venomoth with Peck, but Venomoth countered with {{m|Disable}}, disabling Swellow's Peck for a while. Unconcerned as it had more {{type|Flying}} moves than Peck Ash had Swellow use Aerial Ace, making a direct hit. Venomoth countered with {{m|Supersonic}}, but Swellow used Quick Attack, dodging Supersonic and hitting Venomoth, knocking it out. It then went up against her {{p|Scizor}}. Both Pokémon used Quick Attack and clashed multiple times, but neither could gain an advantage over the other. Swellow used Peck but this was countered by Scizor's Double Team who dodged the attack. Scizor, with the Double Team copies, used {{m|Metal Claw}} and Swellow countered with a Double Team of its own and dodged. It then used Aerial Ace with the Double Team copies, but Scizor transitioned into {{m|Hidden Power}} and destroyed the copies, but Swellow was able to dodge and used Quick Attack. Scizor then used Metal Claw but that Swellow was just a Double Team copy and the real Swellow used its Aerial Ace which was sped up by Quick Attack, successfully hitting Scizor and knocking it out. Katie then sent out her last Pokémon, her {{p|Walrein}}. Swellow used Quick Attack but it did nothing to Walrein and was deflected. Walrein used {{m|Ice Beam}} and although it didn't make a direct hit it hit one of Swellow's wings. Swellow used Peck but Walrein dodged by going underwater, as it was a water field. Walrein then came from behind and used Ice Beam, knocking Swellow out.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Swellow as his fifth Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against [[Morrison]] in the Victory Tournament, it went up against Morrison's {{p|Gligar}}. Gligar started with {{m|Guillotine}}, which was a [[one-hit knockout move]], but Swellow used Double Team to avoid the attack. It used Peck but was dodged and Gligar used {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Swellow dodged with Quick Attack. Gligar then used {{m|Hidden Power}} instead and hit Swellow, but it was able to recover using Aerial Ace while Gligar used Steel Wing, with both of them taking the attack. They then repeated their attacks and dealt major damage. This is repeated a third time, with the collision ending their battle in a tie.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Swellow Tyson Donphan.png|thumb|left|220px|Catching Donphan at the last second]]<br /> In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Swellow as his fourth Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}} in the Victory Tournament, it went up against his powerful {{p|Hariyama}}, who had already defeated {{AP|Torkoal}} and Corphish. Swellow used Peck, which the Arm Thrust Pokémon was able to catch in its hands. It then used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, throwing Swellow into a rock. Hariyama followed up with {{m|Focus Punch}}, but Swellow used Aerial Ace to avoid Focus Punch and hit Hariyama to knock it out. It then went up against Tyson's {{p|Donphan}} who used {{m|Sandstorm}}, causing Ash to be unable to see Swellow. Swellow flapped its wings to remove the Sandstorm, but this allowed Donphan to use {{m|Rollout}} and knock Swellow to the ground. Donphan used multiple Rollout attacks hitting Swellow each time and getting more powerful with each successful attack. Donphan launched another Rollout, intending to finish Swellow off as it lay on the ground, but at the last second Swellow was able to catch Donphan using its legs. Swellow lifted off and then threw the Armor Pokémon into a rock, knocking it out. It then went up against Tyson's {{p|Metagross}}. The Iron Leg Pokémon used {{m|Psychic}}, dealing damage and trapping Swellow in the air, with it unable to break free until it used Quick Attack, but Metagross's high {{stat|Defense}} allowed it to deflect the attack and cause Swellow to take damage. Metagross then finished the battle with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, knocking Swellow out. Despite the loss Swellow was able to make a crack in Metagross's body during the battle that would later be used by {{AP|Grovyle}} and Pikachu, the latter managing to defeat it.<br /> {{-}}<br /> =====Kanto Battle Frontier=====<br /> [[File:Corphish and Swellow battling Tucker.png|thumb|220px|Swellow and Corphish paired up to take out Tucker's duo]]<br /> Swellow accompanied Ash on his Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} campaign, and fought well against several of the [[Frontier Brain]]s. In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]'', it teamed up with {{p|Corphish}} to battle [[Tucker]] and his {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Arcanine}}. Swellow launched a Quick Attack on Swampert, but Arcanine leapt forward and collided with Swellow, knocking it away from its intended target. It kept trying to attack Swampert, but Arcanine's speed proved too great and it continued to block it. Swellow managed to dodge Flamethrower with Double Team, but Arcanine powered up into a {{m|Fire Blast}} and hit Swellow dead on. After some maneuvering from Arcanine and Swampert, Swellow and Corphish were trapped inside a fire and water structure. After getting out, Swellow managed to smash Arcanine into Swampert for a direct hit on both, while Corphish protected Swellow from Fire Blast with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. The smoke from the clash between bubbles and fire blinded both of Tucker's Pokémon and Swellow managed to hit Swampert in its blind spot. Swampert fainted just as Corphish finished off Arcanine, winning Ash the Tactics Symbol.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Swellow went up against [[Spenser]]'s {{p|Venusaur}}, who had just flattened [[Ash's Heracross]]. Changing tactics, Ash ordered Swellow to fly towards the ocean. While flying, it could easily dodge Venusaur's {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}}. On the beach, the battle recommenced with Swellow dodging all of Venusaur's attacks with Double Team and striking hard with Quick Attack. A final Aerial Ace took down Venusaur and Spenser replaced it with {{p|Claydol}}. Swellow was noticeably worried but fought on anyway with Quick Attack. However, Claydol dodged with {{m|Teleport}} and then knocked Swellow out of the air with {{m|Rapid Spin}}. A follow-up Hyper Beam knocked Swellow out of the match.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', Swellow took on [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]] {{p|Slaking}} long enough for {{AP|Sceptile}} to rescue {{an|May}}. It then slammed it into the ground to permit others to attack it. In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', it took on a whole flock of mechanical {{p|Fearow}} despite being outnumbered and managed to cause serious damage.<br /> <br /> Ash left Swellow at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he set off for [[Sinnoh]] in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Swellow was brought back to Ash's team where it battled {{si|Tobias}} in the semifinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Swellow was Ash's second Pokémon to battle Tobias's {{p|Latios}} after Sceptile was defeated. It used Quick Attack on Latios, but the Eon Pokémon dodged it. Swellow then used Aerial Ace and flew from the sky towards Latios, coming down with great force. However, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}} on Swellow, knocking it out.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Dragonite training.png|thumb|250px|left|Swellow and Ash's other Flying types training Dragonite]]<br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''====<br /> It was mentioned in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' by Professor Oak that Swellow would sometimes have air races with {{AP|Staraptor}} at the lab, and {{AP|Unfezant}} would make a good addition to those races.<br /> <br /> Swellow was later reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> Swellow, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, it helped train [[Ash's Dragonite]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Swellow watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Swellow appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN135]], Swellow, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Ash and Swellow.png|thumb|220px|Swellow and Ash]]<br /> Right from its debut as a Taillow, Swellow has been tough and persistent. Characteristic of its species, Swellow is overly stubborn and would fight to its last breath in a battle, rather than give up. An example of Swellow's determination was in ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'' where Ash, knowing that Swellow would enjoy the challenge, ordered a {{m|Thunder}} attack on it. Swellow, determined to win their battle against [[Tate and Liza]], took the attack and used it to win the Double Battle.<br /> <br /> Swellow and Ash were immediately on good terms following its capture. It is loyal and friendly in nature. Swellow is also competitive and continues to improve its flying abilities and accuracy. Its aerial prowess was shown on several occasions, including the [[Crossgate PokéRinger]] competition and Ash's [[Fortree Gym]] match. During its time at Professor Oak's lab, Swellow became good friends with some of Ash's other Flying types, in particular engaging in many competitive races with {{AP|Staraptor}}.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|normal|flying|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 8}}|0=Swellow Peck|1=Swellow Wing Attack|2=Swellow Double Team|3=Swellow Aerial Ace|4=Swellow Quick Attack|5=Taillow Quick Attack|6=Taillow Wing Attack|7=Taillow Peck}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 8}}|0=Peck|1=Wing Attack|2=Double Team|3=Aerial Ace|4=Quick Attack|5=Quick Attack as a Taillow|6=Wing Attack as a Taillow|7=Peck as a Taillow}}}}<br /> {{anmov|flying|Peck|AG005|In the Knicker of Time!}}<br /> {{anmov|flying|Wing Attack|AG008|A Tail with a Twist}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Quick Attack|AG020|Brave the Wave}}<br /> {{anmov|flying|Aerial Ace|AG091|Lessons in Lilycove!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Double Team|AG100|Solid as a Solrock}}<br /> {{anmov|flying|Air Slash|JN145|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|flying}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{normal color}}; border: 3px solid #{{flying color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; |[[File:Thunder Armor.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]''<br /> | {{m|Thunder}}<br /> | [[Ash's Pikachu]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description''': {{AP|Pikachu}} attacked both himself and Swellow with Thunder.

Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.<br /> [[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]<br /> Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM016.png|thumb|250px|With {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.<br /> <br /> Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> [[File:Delia Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With {{Delia}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.<br /> [[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|Torracat reuniting with Stoutland]]<br /> In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were [[Time travel|sent to the past]] after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM143.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.<br /> [[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Incineroar attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Incineroar watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Incineroar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN140]], Incineroar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it destroyed some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]<br /> Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.<br /> <br /> Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.<br /> [[File:Ash Lycanroc Litten sparing.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Lycanroc sparring]]<br /> Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.<br /> <br /> Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.<br /> <br /> Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Litten<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Torracat<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Litten.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Torracat.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Litten Ember|1=Litten Fury Swipes|2=Litten Slash|3=Litten Fire Fang|4=Litten Scratch|5=Litten Flame Charge|6=Torracat Ember}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Ember as a Litten|1=Fury Swipes as a Litten|2=Slash as a Litten|3=Fire Fang as a Litten|4=Scratch as a Litten|5=Flame Charge as a Litten|6=Ember as a Torracat}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Torracat Flame Charge|1=Torracat Fire Fang|2=Torracat Revenge|3=Torracat Scratch|4=Torracat Fire Blast|5=Incineroar Darkest Lariat|6=Incineroar Fire Blast}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Flame Charge as a Torracat|1=Fire Fang as a Torracat|2=Revenge as a Torracat|3=Scratch as a Torracat|4=Fire Blast as a Torracat|5=Darkest Lariat|6=Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Ember|SM001|Alola to New Adventure!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Swipes|SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Fang|SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|SM024|Alolan Open House!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flame Charge|SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Revenge|SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Blast|SM108|Memories in the Mist!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Darkest Lariat|JN140|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Litten Breakneck Blitz|1=Torracat Inferno Overdrive}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Breakneck Blitz&lt;br&gt;as a Litten|1=Inferno Overdrive&lt;br&gt;as a Torracat}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Breakneck Blitz|SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!{{tt|*|Base move is Fury Swipes, Slash, or Scratch}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Inferno Overdrive|SM125|A Timeless Encounter!{{tt|*|Base move is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, or Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dark color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Blast Torracat.png|150px]]&lt;br&gt;[[File:Blast Torracat backfire.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]''<br /> | {{m|Blast Burn}}<br /> | [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' '''Blast Torracat''' (Japanese: '''ブラストニャヒート''' ''Blast Nyaheat'') Torracat absorbs the flames of [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]'s {{m|Blast Burn}}, powering itself up.

Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.<br /> [[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]<br /> Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM016.png|thumb|250px|With {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.<br /> <br /> Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> [[File:Delia Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With {{Delia}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.<br /> [[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|Torracat reuniting with Stoutland]]<br /> In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were [[Time travel|sent to the past]] after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM143.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.<br /> [[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Incineroar attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Incineroar watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Incineroar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN140]], Incineroar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it destroyed some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]<br /> Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.<br /> <br /> Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.<br /> [[File:Ash Lycanroc Litten sparing.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Lycanroc sparring]]<br /> Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.<br /> <br /> Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.<br /> <br /> Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Litten<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Torracat<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Litten.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Torracat.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Litten Ember|1=Litten Fury Swipes|2=Litten Slash|3=Litten Fire Fang|4=Litten Scratch|5=Litten Flame Charge|6=Torracat Ember}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Ember as a Litten|1=Fury Swipes as a Litten|2=Slash as a Litten|3=Fire Fang as a Litten|4=Scratch as a Litten|5=Flame Charge as a Litten|6=Ember as a Torracat}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Torracat Flame Charge|1=Torracat Fire Fang|2=Torracat Revenge|3=Torracat Scratch|4=Torracat Fire Blast|5=Incineroar Darkest Lariat|6=Incineroar Fire Blast}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Flame Charge as a Torracat|1=Fire Fang as a Torracat|2=Revenge as a Torracat|3=Scratch as a Torracat|4=Fire Blast as a Torracat|5=Darkest Lariat|6=Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Ember|SM001|Alola to New Adventure!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Swipes|SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Fang|SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|SM024|Alolan Open House!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flame Charge|SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Revenge|SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Blast|SM108|Memories in the Mist!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Darkest Lariat|JN140|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Litten Breakneck Blitz|1=Torracat Inferno Overdrive}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Breakneck Blitz&lt;br&gt;as a Litten|1=Inferno Overdrive&lt;br&gt;as a Torracat}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Breakneck Blitz|SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!{{tt|*|Base move is Fury Swipes, Slash, or Scratch}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Inferno Overdrive|SM125|A Timeless Encounter!{{tt|*|Base move is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, or Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dark color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Blast Torracat.png|150px]]&lt;br&gt;[[File:Blast Torracat backfire.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]''<br /> | {{m|Blast Burn}}<br /> | [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' '''Blast Torracat''' (Japanese: '''ブラストニャヒート''' ''Blast Nyaheat'') Torracat absorbs the flames of [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]'s {{m|Blast Burn}}, powering itself up.

He gave it to {{an|Leon}} in ''[[JN127|Just a Scone's Throw From Here!]]''. In the past, it was known as the '''Darkest Day''' (Japanese: '''ブラックナイト''' ''Black Night'').<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> [[File:Darkest Day anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Eternatus starting the Darkest Day]]<br /> Ancient people feared Eternatus and it came to be known as the [[Darkest Day]]. It was later given its proper name by [[Rose]] as an indication of the infinite amounts of [[Galar]] particles it could produce.<br /> <br /> Eternatus first appeared in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where it flew past a plane that {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] were riding to Galar.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: &quot;From Here to Eternatus!&quot;]]'', Eternatus was revealed to have been captured by [[Macro Cosmos]] and placed inside the [[Energy Plant]] core. Rose planned to strengthen it with Galar particles so it could serve as a source of infinite energy for the Galar region. In order to complete his agenda, Rose sponsored {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and specifically groomed {{an|Leon}} to become a modern-day hero figure who would ultimately subdue and catch Eternatus to ensure it could be kept as a power source. After a number of experiments in which Galar particles were injected into the reactor, Eternatus escaped from its containment field within [[Hammerlocke Stadium]]. <br /> [[File:Leon and Eternatus.png|thumb|250px|Eternatus and Leon]]<br /> Above the stadium, Eternatus began gathering massive amounts of energy from across the region, causing many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] and go on a rampage. Leon [[JN045|later]] tried to capture it with the help of his {{p|Charizard}} to seal away the Gigantic Pokémon but failed, and it subsequently turned into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} form. With the help of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, Ash and Goh defeated Eternatus, after which they threw one of Goh's {{i|Poké Ball}}s at it together, catching it. After it was captured, the Dynamaxed and Gigantamaxed Pokémon returned to normal. Eternatus's Poké Ball was subsequently sealed away in a safe by [[Professor Magnolia]].<br /> <br /> Eternamax Eternatus reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', where Leon revealed that being powerless against it helped motivate him to grow stronger.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN127|Just a Scone's Throw From Here!]]'', it was revealed that Eternatus had been unsealed by Professor Magnolia. Alongside Leon, the two had started to work to get Eternatus used to being around people. After reuniting with its Trainer, Goh agreed that was for the best and left it under Leon's care.<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Eternatus, while being observed by Professor Magnolia at [[Hammerlocke]]'s Energy Plant, reacted to the intense energy created by Ash and Leon's battle at [[Wyndon Stadium]] and escaped from its containment before flying to the Stadium. In the [[JN132|next episode]], it stabilized the immense amount of Galar particles that had appeared around the Stadium during the aforementioned battle before flying off. As a parting gift, Eternatus recharged Ash and Leon's [[Dynamax Band]]s, allowing them to be used once more.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> Eternatus was feared by people, giving it the name of the [[Darkest Day]]. It is very powerful, easily defeating [[Galar]]'s {{pkmn|Champion}} and was only defeated by strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. It is able to create and control Galar particles, which allow Pokémon to [[Dynamax]]. Through this, it can force or prevent a Pokémon from Dynamaxing.<br /> <br /> Eternatus was dangerously aggressive, violently lashing at everyone around it, causing major havoc across the region. It is later revealed that it was periodically unsealed so it could get used to human contact, becoming far more docile, although Leon reveals that it lashed at him repeatedly. It is stated that Eternatus has difficulty controlling its power. When Eternatus appeared at [[Wyndon Stadium]] during the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], it was shown to have gained control of its power and the will to protect Galar.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> ====Eternatus====<br /> {{anmov/h|poison|dragon|Eternatus Dynamax Cannon.png|Using Dynamax Cannon}}<br /> {{anmov|dragon|Dynamax Cannon|JN044|Sword and Shield: &quot;From Here to Eternatus!&quot;}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dragon}}<br /> <br /> ====Eternamax Eternatus====<br /> {{anmov/h|poison|dragon|Eternamax Eternatus Eternabeam.png|Using Eternabeam}}<br /> {{anmov|dragon|Eternabeam|JN045|Sword and Shield...

Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.<br /> [[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]<br /> Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM016.png|thumb|250px|With {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.<br /> <br /> Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> [[File:Delia Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With {{Delia}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.<br /> [[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|Torracat reuniting with Stoutland]]<br /> In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were [[Time travel|sent to the past]] after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM143.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.<br /> [[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Incineroar attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Incineroar watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Incineroar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN140]], Incineroar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it destroyed some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]<br /> Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.<br /> <br /> Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.<br /> [[File:Ash Lycanroc Litten sparing.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Lycanroc sparring]]<br /> Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.<br /> <br /> Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.<br /> <br /> Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Litten<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Torracat<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Litten.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Torracat.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Litten Ember|1=Litten Fury Swipes|2=Litten Slash|3=Litten Fire Fang|4=Litten Scratch|5=Litten Flame Charge|6=Torracat Ember}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Ember as a Litten|1=Fury Swipes as a Litten|2=Slash as a Litten|3=Fire Fang as a Litten|4=Scratch as a Litten|5=Flame Charge as a Litten|6=Ember as a Torracat}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Torracat Flame Charge|1=Torracat Fire Fang|2=Torracat Revenge|3=Torracat Scratch|4=Torracat Fire Blast|5=Incineroar Darkest Lariat|6=Incineroar Fire Blast}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Flame Charge as a Torracat|1=Fire Fang as a Torracat|2=Revenge as a Torracat|3=Scratch as a Torracat|4=Fire Blast as a Torracat|5=Darkest Lariat|6=Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Ember|SM001|Alola to New Adventure!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Swipes|SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Fang|SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|SM024|Alolan Open House!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flame Charge|SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Revenge|SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Blast|SM108|Memories in the Mist!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Darkest Lariat|JN140|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Litten Breakneck Blitz|1=Torracat Inferno Overdrive}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Breakneck Blitz&lt;br&gt;as a Litten|1=Inferno Overdrive&lt;br&gt;as a Torracat}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Breakneck Blitz|SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!{{tt|*|Base move is Fury Swipes, Slash, or Scratch}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Inferno Overdrive|SM125|A Timeless Encounter!{{tt|*|Base move is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, or Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dark color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Blast Torracat.png|150px]]&lt;br&gt;[[File:Blast Torracat backfire.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]''<br /> | {{m|Blast Burn}}<br /> | [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' '''Blast Torracat''' (Japanese: '''ブラストニャヒート''' ''Blast Nyaheat'') Torracat absorbs the flames of [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]'s {{m|Blast Burn}}, powering itself up.

Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.<br /> [[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]<br /> Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM016.png|thumb|250px|With {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.<br /> <br /> Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> [[File:Delia Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With {{Delia}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.<br /> [[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|Torracat reuniting with Stoutland]]<br /> In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were [[Time travel|sent to the past]] after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM143.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.<br /> [[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Incineroar attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Incineroar watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Incineroar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN140]], Incineroar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it destroyed some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]<br /> Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.<br /> <br /> Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.<br /> [[File:Ash Lycanroc Litten sparing.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Lycanroc sparring]]<br /> Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.<br /> <br /> Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.<br /> <br /> Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Litten<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Torracat<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Litten.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Torracat.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Litten Ember|1=Litten Fury Swipes|2=Litten Slash|3=Litten Fire Fang|4=Litten Scratch|5=Litten Flame Charge|6=Torracat Ember}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Ember as a Litten|1=Fury Swipes as a Litten|2=Slash as a Litten|3=Fire Fang as a Litten|4=Scratch as a Litten|5=Flame Charge as a Litten|6=Ember as a Torracat}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Torracat Flame Charge|1=Torracat Fire Fang|2=Torracat Revenge|3=Torracat Scratch|4=Torracat Fire Blast|5=Incineroar Darkest Lariat|6=Incineroar Fire Blast}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Flame Charge as a Torracat|1=Fire Fang as a Torracat|2=Revenge as a Torracat|3=Scratch as a Torracat|4=Fire Blast as a Torracat|5=Darkest Lariat|6=Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Ember|SM001|Alola to New Adventure!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Swipes|SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Fang|SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|SM024|Alolan Open House!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flame Charge|SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Revenge|SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Blast|SM108|Memories in the Mist!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Darkest Lariat|JN140|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Litten Breakneck Blitz|1=Torracat Inferno Overdrive}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Breakneck Blitz&lt;br&gt;as a Litten|1=Inferno Overdrive&lt;br&gt;as a Torracat}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Breakneck Blitz|SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!{{tt|*|Base move is Fury Swipes, Slash, or Scratch}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Inferno Overdrive|SM125|A Timeless Encounter!{{tt|*|Base move is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, or Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dark color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Blast Torracat.png|150px]]&lt;br&gt;[[File:Blast Torracat backfire.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]''<br /> | {{m|Blast Burn}}<br /> | [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' '''Blast Torracat''' (Japanese: '''ブラストニャヒート''' ''Blast Nyaheat'') Torracat absorbs the flames of [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]'s {{m|Blast Burn}}, powering itself up.

Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.<br /> [[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]<br /> Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM016.png|thumb|250px|With {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.<br /> <br /> Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> [[File:Delia Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With {{Delia}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.<br /> [[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|Torracat reuniting with Stoutland]]<br /> In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were [[Time travel|sent to the past]] after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM143.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.<br /> [[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Incineroar attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Incineroar watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Incineroar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN140]], Incineroar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it destroyed some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]<br /> Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.<br /> <br /> Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.<br /> [[File:Ash Lycanroc Litten sparing.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Lycanroc sparring]]<br /> Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.<br /> <br /> Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.<br /> <br /> Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Litten<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Torracat<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Litten.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Torracat.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Litten Ember|1=Litten Fury Swipes|2=Litten Slash|3=Litten Fire Fang|4=Litten Scratch|5=Litten Flame Charge|6=Torracat Ember}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Ember as a Litten|1=Fury Swipes as a Litten|2=Slash as a Litten|3=Fire Fang as a Litten|4=Scratch as a Litten|5=Flame Charge as a Litten|6=Ember as a Torracat}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Torracat Flame Charge|1=Torracat Fire Fang|2=Torracat Revenge|3=Torracat Scratch|4=Torracat Fire Blast|5=Incineroar Darkest Lariat|6=Incineroar Fire Blast}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Flame Charge as a Torracat|1=Fire Fang as a Torracat|2=Revenge as a Torracat|3=Scratch as a Torracat|4=Fire Blast as a Torracat|5=Darkest Lariat|6=Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Ember|SM001|Alola to New Adventure!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Swipes|SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Fang|SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|SM024|Alolan Open House!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flame Charge|SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Revenge|SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Blast|SM108|Memories in the Mist!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Darkest Lariat|JN140|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Litten Breakneck Blitz|1=Torracat Inferno Overdrive}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Breakneck Blitz&lt;br&gt;as a Litten|1=Inferno Overdrive&lt;br&gt;as a Torracat}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Breakneck Blitz|SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!{{tt|*|Base move is Fury Swipes, Slash, or Scratch}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Inferno Overdrive|SM125|A Timeless Encounter!{{tt|*|Base move is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, or Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dark color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Blast Torracat.png|150px]]&lt;br&gt;[[File:Blast Torracat backfire.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]''<br /> | {{m|Blast Burn}}<br /> | [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' '''Blast Torracat''' (Japanese: '''ブラストニャヒート''' ''Blast Nyaheat'') Torracat absorbs the flames of [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]'s {{m|Blast Burn}}, powering itself up.

Lickitung was the first Pokémon Jessie was shown to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}, and is the first Pokémon to have been caught by a member of {{TRT}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===[[Original series]]===<br /> ====Kanto====<br /> [[File:Jessie catches Lickitung.png|left|thumb|220px|Jessie catching Lickitung]]<br /> In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', {{TRT}} first encountered Lickitung while they were resting in a [[O-Hina Town|local park]] after [[Jessie]]'s [[Princess Festival]] shopping spree. Lickitung quickly snatched up the food with its tongue, so Jessie sent out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to deal with the glutton, only for it to be stunned after being licked by Lickitung. In a fit of rage, Jessie threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at the Lickitung, successfully catching it. <br /> <br /> Later, Lickitung was Jessie's forgotten weapon in the finals of the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]] contest against {{an|Misty}}. After stunning and defeating a borrowed {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} by licking them, Lickitung was defeated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}} after ignoring Jessie's command for Tackle due to hunger, resulting in Misty winning the contest. This was the only time Jessie used Lickitung in [[Kanto]].<br /> <br /> ====Orange Islands====<br /> Jessie used Lickitung rather sparingly for the rest of its time under her possession, making the pink Pokémon her second option after Arbok. Thus, it was one of the least used Pokémon that was owned by a main character. It most often appeared alongside all of the Rocket trio's other Pokémon in battles against the [[twerp]]s.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Lickitung was used for the first time since [[EP052|its capture]], being used to try to nab the Pokémon [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] stole. Lickitung, along with the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon, were hypnotized by Butch and Cassidy's {{p|Drowzee}} and forced to attack its Trainer. They were later freed by {{Ash}} and his Pikachu and joined together to battle Drowzee.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'', Lickitung was called out to help lick up all the rare pink Pokémon on [[Pinkan Island]]. James declared that Lickitung was pink, but Jessie corrected him by admitting that Lickitung had always been pink. Lickitung chased two Nidoran into a cave, but it quickly ran out after angering a pink {{p|Nidoking}}. Later the Nidoking sent Lickitung and all the rest blasting off.<br /> <br /> Lickitung had its first battle against Ash and {{ashfr}} in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', where it joined forces with the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon against [[Tracey's Scyther]]. The five ganged up on the elderly Pokémon, and its fatigue kicked in right as Arbok launched a {{m|Poison Sting}}. The new Scyther leader, unable to stand by, jumped in to protect it. Together, the two caused Team Rocket to flee.<br /> <br /> Jessie called on Lickitung to take on Ash and the others in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. However, [[Ash's Muk]] stepped in and was unaffected by Lickitung's immobilizing licks. It was then defeated by [[Gary Oak]] and his {{p|Nidoqueen}}.<br /> <br /> ====Johto====<br /> [[File:Jessie Lickitung Wobbuffet trade.png|thumb|220px|left|Jessie unaware that her Lickitung had been traded to Benny for his Wobbuffet]]<br /> [[File:Benny Lickitung.png|right|thumb|220px|Benny with his new Lickitung]]<br /> In ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', Lickitung battled Ash and {{ashfr}} for the final time. Lickitung used its tongue to keep {{OBP|Sylvester|EP145}}'s {{p|Farfetch'd}} captive while the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon took on Ash's team. During the battle Farfetch'd broke free and proceeded to beat up Lickitung and the others. Pikachu then blasted them off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Lickitung was accidentally [[trade]]d by Jessie to a Trainer named {{OBP|Benny|EP146}} for his {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} during the commotion at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]]. As Team Rocket's scheme to steal Pokémon with a rigged trading device was discovered by the crowd, Lickitung's {{i|Poké Ball}} was dropped into the [[trade machine]] when Jessie was knocked backwards by the fleeing [[Magikarp salesman]], and was swapped with Benny's Poké Ball already in the machine; the person Benny had been planning to trade with had changed his mind at the last minute. Jessie soon realized the trade when she sent Lickitung out to battle {{Ash}}, and the passive Wobbuffet emerged instead.<br /> <br /> Lickitung was later seen happily with Benny, who informed Ash and friends about the accidental trade. However, there was never any indication that Ash and his friends ever identified the Lickitung as Jessie's old Pokémon, nor that Jessie's new Wobbuffet was originally Benny's.<br /> <br /> ===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===<br /> Lickitung appeared in a fantasy in [[JN145]] when Team Rocket reminisced about their old Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and characteristics==<br /> [[File:Lickitung Ignores Jessie's Command.png|right|thumb|220px|Jessie upset at Lickitung ignoring her orders]]<br /> [[File:Jessie Lickitung Lick.png|left|thumb|220px|Lickitung using its tongue to paralyze Ash's Pikachu]]<br /> Lickitung and [[Jessie]] had a tumultuous relationship right from the beginning, where Lickitung ate all of the food Jessie bought for the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}, lasting all the way up to their last day together in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', where Jessie attacked Lickitung for licking her face just after she had washed up. Jessie used Lickitung infrequently in battle, namely because it ignored her instructions and was gluttonous. However, it was a strong battler, with its tongue capable of immobilizing an opponent with ease. <br /> <br /> Over time, Lickitung did attempt to open up to its {{pkmn|Trainer}} with affectionate licks to the face on several occasions, however Jessie found the habit to be disgusting and rejected it. As such it didn't appear to develop a deeper connection with Jessie, and it was seen happily licking its new Trainer, {{OBP|Benny|EP146}} after an accidental trade to him, who didn't seem to mind, all the while showing no outward distress from being traded away.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> &lt;!--DO NOT ADD LICK AS AN IMPROVISED MOVE.

Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.<br /> [[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]<br /> Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM016.png|thumb|250px|With {{AP|Rowlet}} and {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.<br /> <br /> Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.<br /> <br /> =====With Ash=====<br /> [[File:Delia Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With {{Delia}}]] <br /> In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.<br /> [[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|Torracat reuniting with Stoutland]]<br /> In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were [[Time travel|sent to the past]] after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.<br /> <br /> [[File:SM143.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]<br /> In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.<br /> <br /> In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.<br /> [[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.<br /> <br /> Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Incineroar attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]].<br /> <br /> In [[JN131]], Incineroar watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In [[JN132]], Incineroar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}.<br /> <br /> In [[JN140]], Incineroar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it destroyed some ice so Ash and his friends could chase after a {{p|Beartic}}. It later used its heat to protect everyone from the Beartic as it trained how to better control its powers.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|left|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]<br /> Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.<br /> <br /> Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.<br /> [[File:Ash Lycanroc Litten sparing.png|thumb|250px|Litten and Lycanroc sparring]]<br /> Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.<br /> <br /> Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.<br /> <br /> Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> ===Appearance===<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{fire color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Litten<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}&quot; | As a Torracat<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Litten.png|180px]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Torracat.png|180px]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Litten Ember|1=Litten Fury Swipes|2=Litten Slash|3=Litten Fire Fang|4=Litten Scratch|5=Litten Flame Charge|6=Torracat Ember}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Ember as a Litten|1=Fury Swipes as a Litten|2=Slash as a Litten|3=Fire Fang as a Litten|4=Scratch as a Litten|5=Flame Charge as a Litten|6=Ember as a Torracat}}|image2=Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Torracat Flame Charge|1=Torracat Fire Fang|2=Torracat Revenge|3=Torracat Scratch|4=Torracat Fire Blast|5=Incineroar Darkest Lariat|6=Incineroar Fire Blast}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 7}}|0=Flame Charge as a Torracat|1=Fire Fang as a Torracat|2=Revenge as a Torracat|3=Scratch as a Torracat|4=Fire Blast as a Torracat|5=Darkest Lariat|6=Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Ember|SM001|Alola to New Adventure!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Swipes|SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Fang|SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Scratch|SM024|Alolan Open House!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flame Charge|SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Revenge|SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Blast|SM108|Memories in the Mist!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|dark|Darkest Lariat|JN140|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> ====[[Z-Move]]s used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|dark|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Litten Breakneck Blitz|1=Torracat Inferno Overdrive}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Breakneck Blitz&lt;br&gt;as a Litten|1=Inferno Overdrive&lt;br&gt;as a Torracat}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Breakneck Blitz|SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!{{tt|*|Base move is Fury Swipes, Slash, or Scratch}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Inferno Overdrive|SM125|A Timeless Encounter!{{tt|*|Base move is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, or Fire Blast}}}}<br /> {{anmov/f|dark}}<br /> <br /> ====Moves improvised====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; border: 3px solid #{{dark color dark}}; {{roundy}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Picture}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|First Used In}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Moves Involved}}<br /> ! {{color|FFF|Partnered With}}<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | [[File:Blast Torracat.png|150px]]&lt;br&gt;[[File:Blast Torracat backfire.png|150px]]<br /> | ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]''<br /> | {{m|Blast Burn}}<br /> | [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#FFF&quot;<br /> | colspan=&quot;3&quot; style=&quot;text-align:left&quot; |'''Description:''' '''Blast Torracat''' (Japanese: '''ブラストニャヒート''' ''Blast Nyaheat'') Torracat absorbs the flames of [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]'s {{m|Blast Burn}}, powering itself up.

When it did not want to go in Professor Oak's {{i|Poké Ball}}, he allowed it to travel with May, so it went in her Poké Ball instead.<br /> <br /> May quickly introduced it to [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where it adapted well. It was first used in the Battle Stage of the {{ci|Saffron}} Contest, defeating [[Harley]]'s {{p|Ariados}}, which was its first major accomplishment on May's team.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', May was still deciding which Pokémon to use in the upcoming {{ka|Silver Town}} Pokémon Contest. She sent out Squirtle, but she was not very satisfied with the way it came out of its Poké Ball as she needed its entrance to be flashier. Squirtle took May's comments to heart and disappeared from her sight for a little while, only to return using accessories made out of flowers in order to look more appealing and impress its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.<br /> <br /> May reassured Squirtle that it would always look cute in her eyes, and when the Silver Contest got underway, she used it in the Appeals Round. Squirtle began by using Ice Beam while spinning around and then proceeded to use Bubble, creating one large bubble surrounded by several smaller ones. After that, it jumped on the large bubble and used its Ice Beam to destroy the surrounding bubbles. It then used Ice Beam once more, this time aiming on the large bubble. The splash resulting from the explosion was frozen solid, creating several ice pillars and Squirtle finished by posing atop one of them. The performance impressed the judges and placed May among the four {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s moving on to the Contest Battles.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', Squirtle was used in the [[Appeal|first round]] of the {{to|Wisteria}} Contest. Its performance started with it using {{m|Rapid Spin}} to spin across the stage rapidly. It proceeded with a {{m|Bubble}} attack, making a spiral of bubbles while still spinning around. After that, it used its {{m|Ice Beam}} to destroy the bubbles and create a frozen fountain. It received positive reviews from [[Raoul Contesta|all]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]], advancing May to the second round.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', Squirtle was used in a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] alongside [[May's Combusken]] against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Flygon}} in the {{wp|Single-elimination tournament|quarterfinals}} of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. It's various attacks were vital to May, using Rapid Spin to help Combusken jump and using Bubble to provide the water half of a Fire and Water combination attack. After Flygon was defeated, Drew's Absol would then defeat Squirtle, leaving the battle to a one on one battle between Combusken and Absol. <br /> [[File:May and Wartortle.png|thumb|220px|Wartortle and May]]<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Squirtle was revealed to have evolved into a Wartortle during May's travels through [[Johto]]. It was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Wallace Cup]]. Wartortle was sent out with a [[Seal|Foamy Seal]] and began by using {{m|Rapid Spin}} on the water field before finishing with its newly learned {{m|Aqua Tail}}. The performance was good enough to advance May to the next round.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> May's Squirtle is distinct from [[Ash's Squirtle]], as it is much younger and smaller, mainly because it was intended to be a [[starter Pokémon]]. Squirtle started out relatively shy and was a bit of a crybaby. It has considerably grown since its first appearance, crying less and competing in more Contests.

However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned that he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br /> [[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br /> Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with a bunch of Poké Balls and said that he had abandoned Charmander on purpose to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br /> <br /> ;With Ash<br /> Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined with a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br /> <br /> Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainers whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent by using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br /> [[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br /> The rise in Charmander's battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|loyal]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br /> <br /> Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When Jigglypuff began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br /> [[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br /> Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial Submission attack and then knocking it out with his powerful Seismic Toss.<br /> <br /> The costliest incidence of Charizard's disobedience was in the battle against [[Ritchie]] during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Indigo League]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to recall it and concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped his wings against the little Pikachu before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced to the next round.<br /> <br /> While confronting {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s original clones of the three Kanto starters in their final evolutions during ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Ash summoned Charizard to fight alongside [[Corey]]'s Bruteroot and [[Neesha]]'s Shellshocker against the clones, although not before Charizard, to Ash's surprise, attempted to preemptively attack Mewtwo. After Bruteroot and Shellshocker were quickly overpowered by their clones, Ash attempted to turn the tables by having Charizard focus on speed and evasion over raw power in his confrontation with the clone Charizard, but this strategy failed. Once Ash released the captured originals to confront the clones, Charizard battled the cloned Charizard once again but ended the battle to cry for Ash after his sacrifice to try and stop the battle between Mew and Mewtwo. After Mewtwo departed with Mew and the clones upon witnessing Ash's resurrection, it erased these actions from the memories of all people and Pokémon present, returning Charizard to his familiar disobedience. In the movie's remake, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', it largely had the same role as in the original, although its disobedience to Ash was largely downplayed.<br /> <br /> ======Orange Islands======<br /> Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br /> <br /> Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack, before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br /> [[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br /> In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite it having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted all of them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then encased in ice by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out, before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind, and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash himself worked throughout the entire night to help Charizard recover.<br /> <br /> The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br /> <br /> During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing Moltres from Lawrence III's clutches, and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen one alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part and even countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them, although he was ultimately forced to [[Recall|return to his Poké Ball]] after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to Ice Island.<br /> <br /> He participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Ash's Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}} attack. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the Jade Star Badge.<br /> <br /> Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the Orange Islands Hall of Fame with Ash's other Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ======Johto======<br /> [[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br /> Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br /> <br /> Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responding by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's single leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Charizard was recalled by Ash after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower back onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender but Ash refused and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin, before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out and Ash won the Zephyr Badge.<br /> [[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br /> In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power, but was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br /> <br /> In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw on Liza's TV news footage of [[Entei (M03)|Entei]] abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to briefly leave the Charicific Valley and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the [[Unown (M03)|Unown]] tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to break its neck, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br /> <br /> During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[rematch]]. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br /> [[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br /> Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite Golem's weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br /> <br /> Charizard was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Charizard's aerial advantage was negated by Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley, and it was later revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, which contributed to his later loss.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====<br /> ======Hoenn======<br /> Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br /> <br /> ======Kanto Battle Frontier======<br /> [[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br /> In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed that he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed, but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory.<br /> <br /> Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a single {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the Brave Symbol. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''=====<br /> ======Unova======<br /> In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[starter Pokémon]], involving a live action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called Professor Oak, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], sent Charizard over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{type|Dragon}}, upsetting her since she had wanted to train one as well.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', he was called out by Ash in order to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br /> [[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br /> In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], which had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up into the air and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br /> <br /> Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ======Decolore Islands======<br /> [[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the Decolore Archipelago. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group over to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to unsuccessfully act as a peacemaker; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a super-effective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br /> <br /> Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''=====<br /> Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br /> <br /> =====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====<br /> [[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br /> In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Some time before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br /> <br /> Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In [[JN132]], Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br /> <br /> In [[JN135]], Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br /> <br /> In [[JN141]], Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance, but were mislead by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel but Squirtle, upset over the idea that his friends no longer cared for him, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later on a fire broke at a warehouse, and the group found the Squirtle Squad giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterwards [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br /> <br /> ====Personality and characteristics====<br /> {{bulbanews|Personality &amp; Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br /> The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when in fact none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed to him the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br /> Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's evolution saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had grown to become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, just as Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing, and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br /> Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br /> <br /> Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime.

In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br /> [[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br /> As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br /> <br /> The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br /> <br /> Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br /> [[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br /> ====Personality and characteristics====<br /> Unlike his main anime counterpart, Charizard has always been loyal to Ash, as well as his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br /> <br /> Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br /> ====Appearance====<br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{fire color}}; {{roundy}}; border: 3px solid #{{flying color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | As a Charmander<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#{{fire color light}}&quot; | As a Charmeleon<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#fff&quot;<br /> | [[File:Ash Charmander M20.png|180px|As a Charmander]]<br /> | [[File:Ash Charmeleon M20.png|180px|As a Charmeleon]]<br /> |}<br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|flying|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Charmeleon Seismic Toss|1=Charmeleon Slash|2=Charizard Dragon Rage}} M20.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Seismic Toss&lt;br&gt;as a Charmeleon|1=Slash&lt;br&gt;as a Charmeleon|2=Dragon Rage}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flamethrower|M20|I Choose You!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Slash|M20|I Choose You!}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Seismic Toss|M20|I Choose You!}}<br /> {{anmov|dragon|Dragon Rage|M20|I Choose You!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|flying}}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> ===Core series games===<br /> A Charmander is given to the player in {{game|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]] — games which contain several references to the [[original series]] — from a [[Damian|boy]] on {{rt|24|Kanto}}.

It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|flying|Ash Charizard {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Overheat|1=DragonBreath|2=Flamethrower}} AP.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Overheat|1=Dragon Breath|2=Flamethrower}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flamethrower|SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!}}<br /> {{anmov|dragon|Dragon Breath|SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Overheat|SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|flying}}<br /> <br /> ===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br /> [[File:Ash Charmander EToP.png|thumb|140px|As a Charmander]]<br /> [[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br /> {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Charizard makes a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]; however, the circumstances of its capture seem to differ in the manga. While [[Damian]] appears in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunite in the [[Hidden Village]].<br /> <br /> Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, it is explained that &quot;Ash has been busy since the last comic!&quot; when Charmander first appears from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander is first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} is off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply sets Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzes}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br /> <br /> Later, at the 88th Pokémon League, Ash presents his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to Brock and Misty. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refuses to listen to him unless he holds a special flare that burns with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decides to not use it and use his other Pokémon instead.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br /> In the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sends out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against Ritchie. Ritchie counters with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard goes into a violent frenzy and mercilessly starts scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempts to stop this mauling with his flare but Charizard ignores it and continues to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere.<br /> <br /> Ash decides to return Charizard to its Poké Ball, forfeiting the match and making Ritchie the winner in the process. Overwhelmed with guilt, Ash leaves the arena and apologizes to Ritchie who states that it's alright and that his Charley will be fine after a trip to the Pokémon Center.<br /> <br /> Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br /> <br /> Charizard appeared one last time in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'' where it was used to battle {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in the [[Orange League]] finals. Charizard, now listening to Ash perfectly, battles against [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Despite being much larger and putting up a good fight, Charizard is eventually defeated, leaving Ash with only Pikachu left to use.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|flying|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Charmander Flamethrower|1=Charizard Flamethrower|2=Charizard Dragon Rage}} EToP.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Flamethrower&lt;br&gt;as a Charmander|1=Flamethrower|2=Dragon Rage}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flamethrower|ET08|You Gotta Have Friends}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Fire Spin|ET18|Pikachu's Plan{{tt|*|Used off-panel}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Seismic Toss|ET18|Pikachu's Plan{{tt|*|Used off-panel}}}}<br /> {{anmov|dragon|Dragon Rage|ET18|Pikachu's Plan}}<br /> {{anmov/f|flying}}<br /> <br /> ===Movie adaptations===<br /> [[File:Ash Charizard M16 manga.png|thumb|250px|Charizard in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}'']]<br /> ====Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth====<br /> Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}.

It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br /> <br /> The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br /> <br /> After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br /> <br /> =====Moves used=====<br /> {{anmov/h|fire|flying|Ash {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Charmeleon Flamethrower|1=Charmeleon Slash|2=Charizard Flamethrower}} M20 manga.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Flamethrower&lt;br/&gt;as a Charmeleon|1=Slash&lt;br/&gt;as a Charmeleon|2=Flamethrower}}}}<br /> {{anmov|fire|Flamethrower|I Choose You!

He is also the main character of various {{pkmn|manga}} based on the anime, including [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ash &amp; Pikachu]], and {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond &amp; Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}}.<br /> <br /> He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]] whose goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His [[starter Pokémon]] was a {{AP|Pikachu}} that he received from {{an|Professor Oak}} after arriving late at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]]. On his {{pkmn|journey}}s around the [[Pokémon world]], he's been accompanied by {{ashfr|a multitude of close friends}}. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]'', he becomes the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Alola]] [[region]]'s [[Alola League|Pokémon League]]. In ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'', he becomes the new Monarch of the [[World Coronation Series|Pokémon World Coronation Series]].<br /> <br /> He shares his Japanese name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun on the English motto, &quot;[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]&quot;<br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> ====Pre-series====<br /> [[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Ash]]<br /> In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in a forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]].<br /> [[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Ash and Gary watching a movie]]<br /> [[JN001|At the age of six]], Ash learned that {{an|Professor Oak}} would be holding a Pokémon Summer Camp, and eagerly asked his mother {{Delia}} if he could attend. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, she signed him up but also told him that she had things to do outside of home during the day the camp would take place, so he would have to get himself there in time on his own. Unfortunately for Ash, he ended up breaking his alarm clock in his sleep and overslept, missing the camp.<br /> <br /> [[XY007|Later]], Ash managed to attend another one of Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camps. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.<br /> <br /> As seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', Gary and Ash used to be friends at one point of time, and even went to watch movies together. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and [[Gary Oak]] both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.<br /> <br /> ====[[Original series]]====<br /> [[File:Ash fleeing Spearow.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br /> In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the anime. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had &quot;borrowed&quot; to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.<br /> <br /> Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''.<br /> <br /> In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's {{brocksib|younger siblings}}. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.<br /> [[File:Ash Kanto starters.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Kanto starters]]<br /> In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by its former trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught it.<br /> <br /> Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool &amp; Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.<br /> <br /> Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.<br /> <br /> Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].<br /> <br /> Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16, his defeat coming in the form of his Charizard refusing to battle for him.<br /> [[File:Ash Orange League Hall of Fame.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Orange League [[Hall of Fame]]]]<br /> Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Archipelago, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}. Before leaving the Orange Archipelago, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and {{pkmn2|released}} it back into the wild.<br /> <br /> Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].<br /> <br /> Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.<br /> <br /> Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 2-on-2; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{jo|Silver}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.<br /> <br /> Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash and friends AG.png|thumb|220px|Ash with his ''Ruby and Sapphire'' traveling companions]]<br /> After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Petalburg Gym]] {{FB|Gym|Leader}} [[Norman]]'s children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], Brock rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu actually getting possessed by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s unintentional help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.<br /> <br /> While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]<br /> Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and traveled with him through Sinnoh as he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.<br /> <br /> While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together, when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him, Paul would often come out the better in their battles as his Pokémon were very powerful, due to him only keeping Pokémon that were naturally really strong. Ash's Pokémon, though they grew under his command and became strong in their own right, could not yet equal those of Paul's. Later events would soon lead to a particularly crushing defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon in return, this being Ash's heaviest loss in any battle up to that point. Following the defeat, Ash acknowledged that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in the future.<br /> [[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]<br /> [[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]<br /> While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two official Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.<br /> <br /> As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.<br /> <br /> Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, notably using Paul's discarded {{p|Chimchar}}, now an {{p|Infernape}}, to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle at the same magnitude as his loss to Paul at Lake Acuity, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. At the conclusion of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his later travels as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]''====<br /> In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]'', Ash traveled with Delia and Professor Oak on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br /> [[File:BW040.png|thumb|250px|Ash facing [[Georgia]] in the Club Battle tournament]]<br /> Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.<br /> <br /> As they journeyed, Ash and friends ended up again being caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|Forces of Nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.<br /> <br /> After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br /> <br /> After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.<br /> <br /> As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learned of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their dreams.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====<br /> [[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash as a {{tc|Baron}} at the [[Battle Chateau]]]]<br /> In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.<br /> <br /> Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon evolution he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.<br /> <br /> Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the {{badge|Bug}}, after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his Gym by his own invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.<br /> <br /> Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader {{an|Korrina}} to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.<br /> <br /> Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.<br /> <br /> During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends came across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Some time afterward, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash would also support Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.<br /> <br /> Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.<br /> <br /> Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the villainous team [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their protective custody. Some time afterward, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|hometown]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.<br /> [[File:Ash and Greninja Bond Phenomenon.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Greninja activating the Bond Phenomenon]]<br /> Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful to master the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.<br /> <br /> After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader [[Wulfric]] in a battle where all three of his Pokémon were unable to bring down Wulfric's second Pokémon, {{p|Avalugg}}. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].<br /> <br /> After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory in, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back and forth battle that eventually came down to Alain's Mega Charizard X against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.<br /> [[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]<br /> During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. However, upon hearing Pikachu's voice, Ash resisted the machine's influence, even getting Greninja to do the same thing. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash and Greninja broke free from their bindings by using Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre, and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.<br /> <br /> Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bade farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, and his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate the remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well and returned to Pallet Town.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Z-Ring]]<br /> Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.<br /> <br /> Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.<br /> <br /> Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Also, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.<br /> <br /> One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}} by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.<br /> [[File:Ash and Z-Power Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Z-Power Ring]]<br /> Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby opened up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.<br /> [[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]<br /> During Kukui and Burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where {{an|Professor Burnet}} temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return home.<br /> <br /> Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.<br /> <br /> Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu &quot;pre-trial&quot;. Afterward, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].<br /> <br /> Ash led the Ultra Guardians investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Lunala}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterward, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.<br /> <br /> Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly-appointed island kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].<br /> [[File:Ash Champion.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after winning the Manalo Conference]]<br /> Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{OBP|Meltan|recurring|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br /> <br /> After winning the Alola League championship, Ash was given the right to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal. However, during a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} invasion of the [[Manalo Stadium]], the Masked Royal's true identity as Professor Kukui was exposed. With his cover blown, Kukui decided to battle Ash as himself and make the exhibition match a Full Battle, which Ash agreed to. During the battle, Ash's Torracat was finally able to defeat its longtime rival, [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], and evolve into an {{AP|Incineroar}} itself. Before Kukui could send out his last Pokémon, Tapu Koko appeared and took its place in the battle. When Ash was down to his last Pokémon, Pikachu, Tapu Koko gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], while Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing both Pokémon to unleash their signature Z-Moves. In the end, Ash's Pikachu's Z-Move proved superior and defeated Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match in Ash's victory.<br /> <br /> After the Manalo Conference had ended, Ash was left unsure of what to do next. However, after hearing [[Olivia]] mention how important knowing the &quot;outside world&quot; is, he decided to return home and start traveling around the world. After saying farewell to his classmates, Kukui, and Burnet, he boarded a plane back to Kanto, leaving all of his current [[party]] Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) under the two Professors' care.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> [[File:Ash and Goh.png|thumb|250px|Ash, [[Goh]], and their Pokémon]]<br /> Sometime after his return to Kanto, Ash joined Professor Oak in attending the opening of the new [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]]. During the opening ceremony, the head of the lab, [[Professor Cerise]], informed the attendees that a rare Pokémon would be appearing at the local port shortly. Ash eagerly rushed over there and found out the rare Pokémon was a Lugia. During this encounter, he also met a boy named [[Goh]], and the two shared a ride with Lugia throughout Kanto. When they later returned to the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise was amazed by the information they had gathered about Lugia, and he asked them to become his [[Professors' aides|research assistants]]. They accepted the offer and were provided with their own room to stay in. Delia also left Mimey at the lab to take care of Ash while he stayed there.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash goal JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash's goal of battling Monarch Leon]]<br /> Later, Ash and Goh traveled to the [[Galar]] region to watch the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. The match ended in the victory of Galar's undefeated Champion {{an|Leon}}, thus making him the Monarch, the official strongest Trainer in the {{pkmn|world}}. Inspired by this, Ash decided he wanted to battle Leon himself. However, before he could challenge him, a [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} went on a rampage and started causing havoc. While Ash and Goh battled it, Pikachu ended up Gigantamaxing as well, therefore giving him enough power to defeat Drednaw. Leon, impressed by Ash's performance, accepted his challenge to a battle. Ash also received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Leon. After Ash lost, he decided to take part in the World Coronation Series as well and climb through its ranks to one day challenge Leon again.<br /> <br /> Upon entering the World Coronation Series, Ash immediately started building up a winning streak, soon even reaching the Great Class after defeating Korrina. Ash's winning streak came to an end, however, when he encountered [[Bea]], a {{type|Fighting}} Gym Leader from Galar, who was also aiming to defeat Leon. In their two-on-two match at the [[Fighting Dojo]], Ash failed to defeat a single one of Bea's Pokémon, with her powerful {{p|Grapploct}} with its many limbs and {{m|Octolock}} proving especially troublesome. This crushing defeat caused Ash to start losing his self-confidence and led to him entering a losing streak, even resulting in him falling back into the Normal Class. This caused him to get depressed, until he was snapped back into his senses by a motivational speech from Goh. Thanks to this, he quickly fought his way back into the Great Class and challenged Bea to a rematch at the [[Cianwood Gym]], managing to tie with her this time.<br /> [[File:Ash and Dynamax Band.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Dynamax Band]]<br /> One night, Ash's Dynamax Band began to glow. After learning about cases of Pokémon [[Dynamax]]ing in Galar outside of {{cat|Power Spots}}, Ash and Goh headed there in order to investigate. Soon after arriving in the region, Ash and Goh ended up getting separated while in the [[Slumbering Weald]], where Ash encountered {{OBP|Zacian|recurring}}, whereas Goh encountered {{OBP|Zamazenta|recurring}}. Later, Ash encountered Leon and joined him in taking care of the Dynamax Pokémon rampaging around Galar. During this quest, they ended up encountering [[Rose|Chairman Rose]] and [[Oleana]], and Ash accompanied them to dine and spend a night at [[Rose Tower]]. When he departed the next day to rendezvous with Goh, {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} emerged from the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]], starting the [[Darkest Day]] and prompting Ash to head there. At the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash re-encountered Rose and engaged him in a battle, eventually winning thanks to his newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}}. Reuniting with Goh, the two then engaged in a battle against Eternatus, after Leon had failed to stop it. With Zacian and Zamazenta's help, they successfully defeated Eternatus and sealed it away, ending the Darkest Day.<br /> <br /> Following his second battle with Bea, Ash entered another winning streak, steadily increasing his ranking. [[JN065|One day]], he received a letter from Iris, challenging him to a World Coronation Series battle. He happily accepted her invitation, but was later surprised to find out that Iris had succeeded [[Alder]] as the new Champion of Unova. After an intense battle, Ash defeated his former traveling companion and rose to the Ultra Class as a result. In his first Ultra Class battle, Ash was pitted against [[Volkner]] and succeeded in defeating him. Following the match, Volkner informed Ash that Cynthia was taking part in the World Coronation Series as well, and had managed to climb her way into the Master Class.<br /> [[File:Ash showcasing his Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Mega Glove]]<br /> Knowing that he was going to be facing very strong opponents in the Ultra and Master Classes, Ash sought Korrina's help to Mega Evolve his Lucario. After receiving a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]] from Korrina, Ash traveled to [[Mega Island]] and managed to obtain himself a [[Lucarionite]], just in time to receive a message informing him that Bea was to be his next Ultra Class opponent. As such, Ash then traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]] to settle his score with Bea once and for all on her home turf. Using his newly acquired Mega Lucario, Ash was able defeat Bea's Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}, finally earning him a victory against his rival.<br /> <br /> After defeating Bea, Ash sought [[Allister]]'s help in Gigantamaxing his {{AP|Gengar}}. Thanks to the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} made by him, Gengar was able to unlock its Gigantamax potential, which proved useful in Ash's World Coronation Series battle against [[Marnie]].<br /> <br /> His victories kept bringing Ash more and more fame as the rising star of Kanto, causing the news of his next Ultra Class battle, this one against [[Drasna]] of the Kalos [[Elite Four]], to gain widespread media attention. Following a reunion and a training session with Clemont and Bonnie, Ash took on Drasna and defeated her, putting him at the very top of the Ultra Class. As such, his next match was to be a entrance battle against [[Raihan]], the lowest-ranked Trainer in the Master Class. After briefly reuniting with Greninja in Kalos and having his Lucario train its [[Aura]] with it, Ash felt ready for the match. Raihan, being Leon's long-time rival, gave Ash a very tough challenge, even forcing him to use Gengar's Gigantamax instead of Lucario's Mega Evolution in order to bypass his [[weather]] strategy. Eventually, however, Ash managed to win, officially putting him in the Master Class along with the other reigning regional Champions and Alain.<br /> [[File:Ash accessories.png|thumb|250px|Ash wearing all of his accessories during the Masters Eight Tournament]]<br /> During a visit to the [[Crown Tundra]], Ash reunited with Lillie and her family just as they succeeded in finding Lillie's missing father, [[Mohn]]. He then proceeded to accompany them back to Alola, where a special [[Battle Royal]] was organized to celebrate the homecoming of the Alola Champion. During the Battle Royal, the entire Alola region showed their support for Ash and encouraged him to win the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] as Alola's representative.<br /> [[File:JN123.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash facing Cynthia]]<br /> After some hard training with his Pokémon kept at Professor Oak's lab and Paul, Ash traveled to Galar once more to participate in the Masters Eight Tournament, along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Iris, Alain, and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. After watching the other quarterfinals battles, Ash and Steven began their battle. Although he had a tough time against the Hoenn Champion, Ash was eventually able defeat him with the help of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, advancing him to the semifinals to face Cynthia. After witnessing Leon rather easily defeat Diantha, Ash took on Cynthia. Although Cynthia gained an early lead, Ash gradually evened the odds, until his Mega Lucario finally took home the victory, meaning that Ash and Leon's long-awaited battle was to finally happen.<br /> <br /> At the start of the finals, Leon surprised everyone by allowing Ash to use all three of Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves during the battle, which Ash accepted. During the climax of the battle, Eternatus appeared above Wyndon Stadium and granted both Trainers an additional use of Dynamax. The climactic showdown ended with a clash between Ash's Pikachu and Leon's Charizard. Ultimately, Ash's partner emerged victorious against the undefeated Charizard, fulfilling Ash's dream of defeating Leon and making him the new Monarch.<br /> <br /> Following the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash announced his intentions to set off on a new journey alone to continue learning more about Pokémon and achieve his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. After departing from the Cerise Laboratory, Ash parted ways with Goh, who wished to go his own way to achieve his dream.<br /> <br /> Shortly after parting ways with Goh, Ash met an injured wild {{p|Latias}}. He helped to treat her injuries and protected her from being stolen by Team Rocket. As a result, she started to secretly follow him. Soon after, Ash reunited with Misty and Brock, who joined him in his travels once more as they continued to help out Pokémon in need and reuniting with Ash's other old friends like Cilan and the [[Squirtle Squad]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Character===<br /> [[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his mother]]<br /> Ash is an only child who lived with his mother {{Delia}}, until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the anime, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br /> <br /> Ash has a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers}}, Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.<br /> <br /> Despite this, and previous dealings with villainous teams, Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent &quot;sudden appearances&quot; that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near-inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].<br /> <br /> In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.<br /> <br /> In the beginning of the anime, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about perfectly legal things, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his Charizard's disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.<br /> <br /> [[File:DP131.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Paul]]<br /> Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On the contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worth of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.<br /> <br /> In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the [[Johto League]] arc, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of &quot;best friend&quot; is usually reserved for Pikachu, but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br /> <br /> Ash has changed a great deal throughout the anime, 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 his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{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}} 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.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash catches a Pokémon JN.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]<br /> Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments, while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head-on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous will power, as seen when he took attacks for long periods and keeps advancing, which also drives his &quot;never give up&quot; attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.<br /> <br /> Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the field of romance. Throughout the anime, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the anime have shown obvious (and subtle) affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}}'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.<br /> <br /> Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.<br /> <br /> Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movies}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be &quot;The Chosen One&quot; - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.<br /> [[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br /> Ash possesses some special abilities as he has the rare ability to use [[Aura]]. He is said to have the same Aura as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient Aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read it's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', an unhatched {{AP|Riolu}} reacted to Ash's Aura, and he was able to sense the Egg's response, leading him to it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]]. After he obtained a [[Key Stone]], Ash's Aura powers were enhanced significantly, allowing him and his {{AP|Lucario}} to sense each other from a great distance away. After training with Greninja, Ash and Lucario were able to synchronize their Auras even better, allowing Lucario to make its {{m|Aura Sphere}} grow into massive proportions by drawing power from the Auras of its allies.<br /> <br /> Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.<br /> <br /> 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, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the anime's storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the anime, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born, and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown.<br /> <br /> Once he gained the title of [[Champion]] in the [[Alola]] region, Ash became a local celebrity there, as seen in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'' and ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', and more recently after becoming Monarch in the [[World Coronation Series]], Ash became a more recognized figure in other regions as seen in [[JN141]].<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> &lt;!--Only confirmed genders are listed. Half-confirmed genders, such as dub only, do not count.--&gt;<br /> [[File:Ash with his Pokémon JN114.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash with his team and Pokémon at Oak's lab as of ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'']]<br /> [[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the Pokémon Ash formerly traveled with (plus the [[Pink Butterfree]])]]<br /> As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} throughout 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. Several of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.<br /> <br /> Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He often ignores type advantages and has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', he incorporated a twisting-spinning type maneuver in his Pokémon's offensive and defensive techniques, which eventually lead to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. Also, sometimes he will use someone else's battle strategies as shown with [[Paul]] and {{an|Tierno}}, though when using the latter's, Ash stated that his unique strategy is the one he can truly count on, instead of simply mimicking others.<br /> <br /> Ash is very attached to his Pokémon and prefers to battle and train with them personally. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue the battle, even after receiving a great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will (if sometimes reluctantly) [[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they could get stronger.<br /> <br /> Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[region]] (not including when he traveled through the [[Orange Archipelago]] and challenged the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in his second tour of [[Kanto]]), he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]]. He usually only does so when battling against powerful opponents (such as Trainers in the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, and [[Frontier Brain]]s), or when attending certain events that require a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). However, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black &amp; White]]'', Ash actively cycled through the nine Pokémon he managed to catch in [[Unova]], although these Pokémon, when not in his party, were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]]. Near the end of his journey in Unova, Professor Juniper transferred all of Ash's Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab. Ash did not use this system of training in the [[Pokémon the Series: XY|following series]], though he did leave his Alolan party with {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}} at the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''.<br /> <br /> Ash currently has ownership of 77 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolved forms, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has currently officially owned a total of 98 different Pokémon species.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Ash with his Pokémon.png|Ash with his Pokémon as of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' (excluding {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Primeape}}, and [[Mimey|Mr. Mime]]) at [[Professor Oak's lab|Oak's lab]]<br /> Ash Kalos Team.png|Ash with his [[Kalos]] Pokémon<br /> Ash Alolan Team.png|Ash with his [[Alola]] Pokémon (excluding {{AP|Naganadel}})<br /> Ash party JN.png|Ash with his ''Journeys'' Pokémon<br /> Pokémon Aim to Be a Pokémon Master poster.png|Every Pokémon Ash has traveled with<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ====On hand====<br /> As of [[JN137]], Ash has begun rotating his team with Pokémon from Professor Oak's Lab and Kukui's home.

Additionally, &quot;Ash&quot; is one of the suggested names for Red in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], for the rival character {{ga|Blue}} in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} (international) and LeafGreen, and for {{ga|Ethan}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Yellow}}, some elements are based on the anime. Red, the player character, starts with a {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (game)}}, which is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Red later receives the trio of Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] in similar circumstances as Ash: {{p|Bulbasaur}} from a girl based on [[Melanie]], {{p|Charmander}} from a boy based on [[Damian]], and {{p|Squirtle}} from an [[Officer Jenny]].<br /> <br /> In the Spanish version of [[Pokémon X and Y]], a male {{tc|Rising Star}} in {{rt|21|Kalos}} says that his Pokémon is named &quot;Ash Ketchum&quot;.<br /> <br /> In the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player, {{ga|Elio|Sun}}, receives an unsigned letter from somebody heavily implied to be Ash. Included with this letter is a {{AP|Greninja}}, with &quot;Ash&quot; being listed as its [[Original Trainer]]. Like in the anime, Ash's Greninja can transform into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|Ash-Greninja]] by using its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}.<br /> <br /> In Pokémon Sun, Moon, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a photo of Ash and Pikachu can be seen in the back room of the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}.<br /> <br /> ===={{pkmn|event|Events}}====<br /> Several [[event Pokémon]] based on Ash's Pokémon have been made over the course of the franchise. In addition to the aforementioned Greninja, a special form of {{p|Pikachu}} [[Pikachu in a cap|wearing Ash's different hats]] up to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]'' were made available in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Later games introduced Pikachu with Ash's hats from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]].<br /> <br /> =====List of events featuring Ash's Pokémon=====<br />

art of Ash's hat from the original series]]<br /> [[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br /> * [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] was similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.<br /> * Ash originally wanted a {{p|Squirtle}} to be his [[starter Pokémon]], but {{an|Professor Oak}} told him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]].<br /> * Ash has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} a female-only Pokémon or a [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br /> * Ash has caught at least one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of every [[region]] except [[Galar]].<br /> * Ash has caught at least one {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in every [[series]].<br /> ** However, he has never caught a Flying-type Pokémon introduced in the [[Generation VIII]] games.<br /> * As of ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]'', Ash has caught at least one Pokémon belonging to all eighteen [[type]]s (this includes Pokémon he owns or has owned that have been retroactively made {{type|Fairy}}).<br /> ** Also, as of ''[[JN099|Battling Turned Up to Eleven!]]'', he has used at least one [[move]] of every type with his Pokémon.<br /> * Ash's favorite move is {{m|Thunderbolt}}, as revealed by himself in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''.<br /> * According to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s {{pkmn|anime}} novelizations, Ash's birthday is exactly 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days before the day he began his [[Pokémon journey]]. However, in ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]'', {{Delia}} states that Ash started his journey on his tenth birthday.<br /> * Ash is still considered a 10-year-old in promotional materials and in main series episodes as recent as ''[[JN067|Sleuths for Truth!]]'', despite at least a year having been implied to have passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]''.<br /> ** [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], creative supervisor for ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and executive director for prior series, has stated in a interview with {{wp|Daniel Arsham}} in ''Arsham's Pokédex'', a collection of Pokémon-related artwork, that Ash does not age because the anime is set in an endless early summer.<br /> * When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary &quot;Adventures in Voice Acting&quot;, 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}}.<br /> * Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, his drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].<br /> * Ash has been shown to be a good climber at various points in the anime, such as in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', ''Climbing the Walls'', and ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', to the point of {{an|Misty}} saying &quot;He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}&quot; in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', and {{an|Brock}} calling him a &quot;human {{p|Aipom}}&quot; in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.<br /> * Ash has lost once to every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has met. Out of the four Normal-type Gym Leaders he has battled against, [[Cheren]] is the only one against whom Ash has never won.<br /> * The only region where Ash didn't lose any official Gym battles is the [[Orange Archipelago]].<br /> ** Also, Ash did not lose any official trials in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]'', although he has lost to [[Nanu]] in an [[SM074|unofficial battle]].<br /> * Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].<br /> * If only {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles are counted, Ash's longest winning streak lasted a total of 87 episodes, spanning from his loss to [[Rinto]] in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'' to his loss to Misty in [[JN138]].<br /> ** If not, as all of his eligible Pokémon were defeated in a {{DL|Raid Battle (GO)|In the anime|Raid Battle}} against an {{p|Articuno}} in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', the longest period Ash has been on a winning streak is exactly 70 episodes, going from ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]''.<br /> * Ash has defeated more regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s onscreen in the anime than any other Trainer, having won against {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}.<br /> ** Additionally, he has also defeated [[Wallace]], the former Hoenn Champion.<br /> * Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary family with one of his rivals in each series.<br /> * ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'' and [[JN133]] are the only main series episodes to not feature Ash in any capacity.<br /> * In promotional material for the [[Manalo Conference]], Ash was given the title of (Japanese: ゼンリョクチャレンジャ ''Full-force challenger'').<br /> * [[National Ash Ketchum Day]] is celebrated every September 15, the anniversary of Ash's first [[Pokémon League Conference]] [[SM139|victory]], first being celebrated on said victory's first-year anniversary in 2020.<br /> * Ash's height is around 4'7&quot; (140 cm).&lt;ref&gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20210219050737/https://pokemonday.pokemon.co.jp/tips/065/ Japanese Pokémon Day website tip #65] (Archived)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * In the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] episode ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', a Trainer who bears a resemblance to Ash can be seen at the entrance to [[Wyndon Stadium]] with a {{p|Pikachu}}.<br /> * In the anime, Ash is the first and, so far, only Trainer:<br /> ** With a known [[hometown]] to not be native to any of the regions he is the Champion of.<br /> ** With access to [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and [[Mega Evolution]] at the same time.<br /> *** Who has used more than one of those in a single battle.<br /> ** Shown to have won two of the same Gym Badge, as he's earned a {{badge|Rain}} from both [[Juan]] and Wallace.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;float:left; background:#{{X color light}}; border:3px solid #{{HP color light}}&quot;<br /> !

They are easily identifiable by the fact that they all wear sunglasses.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> ===History===<br /> ====[[Original series]]====<br /> =====Kanto=====<br /> [[File:Squirtle Squard firefighting.png|250px|thumb|The Squirtle Squad putting out a fire]]<br /> They debuted ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', where they wreaked havoc in a small town in Kanto, stealing things, writing graffiti, and causing trouble for travelers in the area. Once they were tricked by {{MTR}} of {{TRT}}, who made a deal for them to help himself, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] capture [[Ash's Pikachu]]. While chasing it, Pikachu sustained a nasty injury from a {{p|Goldeen}}. In order to help Pikachu recover, {{Ash}} convinced the Squirtle Squad to allow him to obtain a [[Super Potion]]; however, if he didn't return by noon the next day, they would kill Misty (in the English dub, they threatened to dye her hair purple). By the time Ash returned, Team Rocket had arrived and decided to bomb the Squirtle Squad, causing a forest fire. Everyone went to find cover in the Squirtle Squad's cave, but, [[Ash's Squirtle|the leader of the Squirtle Squad]] was stuck on its back, forcing Ash to go back to help it. Working together with Ash, the Squirtle Squad defeated Team Rocket and put out the fire; they were given the title of &quot;Town Firefighters&quot;, for their good work by [[Officer Jenny]]. However, the leader of the Squirtle Squad decided that it would rather travel with Ash; Ash's newly acquired Squirtle wanted to repay him for saving its life by joining Ash's team.<br /> <br /> =====Johto=====<br /> The Squirtle Squad entered a [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix|Pokémon firefighting competition]] in Johto in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', reunited with its leader. They were pitted against [[Team Wartortle]], a group Ash's Squirtle had [[EP106|encountered]] in the Orange Islands. Ash's Squirtle decided to rejoin the Squad and has continued with them ever since, with the exception of the [[Silver Conference]] and the final battle with [[Brandon]].<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====<br /> While appearing as a whole in ''[[HS06|Of Meowth and Pokémon Part 1]]'' and ''[[HS07|Part 2]]'', three of the members ambushed {{DL|Pichu Brothers|Smoochum}} and attacked her with a {{m|Water Gun}}, sending her flying. They were shown in a flashback in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''.<br /> [[File:Squirtle Squad SM042.png|250px|thumb|Squirtle Squad in Sun &amp; Moon]]<br /> The Squad helped Meowth set up his party in ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', but did not have their leader.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun &amp; Moon]]''====<br /> {{Rotom}} managed to take a picture of the Squirtle Squad in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====<br /> The Squirtle Squad reappeared in [[JN141]], where they were performers hired by Team Rocket. They assisted in putting out a warehouse fire before being reunited with Officer Jenny and returned to being firefighters once more.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> The Squirtle Squad were once troublemakers before [[Ash's Squirtle|their leader]] joined {{Ash}}. They stole food, vandalized properties, and caused trouble for people. However, after Ash saved their leader from a fire, the Squirtle Squad changed their ways and began fighting fires under the command of Officer Jenny.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> ====Ash's Squirtle====<br /> {{main|Ash's Squirtle#Moves used|Ash's Squirtle → Moves used}}<br /> <br /> ====Other members====<br /> {{anmov/h|water||Squirtle Squad Water Gun.png|Using Water Gun}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad}}<br /> {{anmov/f|water}}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> ===In the side series===<br /> ====[[Pokémon GO]]====<br /> For the July 8, 2018 [[Pokémon GO]] [[Community Day]], a special Squirtle could be caught wearing sunglasses. Although these glasses were of a different design, it is assumed this was a homage to the Squirtle Squad. This Squirtle can also evolve into {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Blastoise}} wearing sunglasses, and also have Shiny forms.<br /> <br /> The sunglasses-wearing Squirtle returned during the [[Ed Sheeran]] collaboration event, held on November 22-30, 2021.<br /> <br /> {| style=&quot;margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{water color}}; {{roundy|10px}} border: 3px solid #{{water color dark}}&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|96px}} border: 2px solid #{{water color dark}}; background: #{{water color light}}; width:96px; height:96px&quot;| [[File:GO007S.png|100px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|96px}} border: 2px solid #{{water color dark}}; background: #{{water color light}}; width:96px; height:96px&quot;| [[File:GO008S.png|100px]]<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy|96px}} border: 2px solid #{{water color dark}}; background: #{{water color light}}; width:96px; height:96px&quot;| [[File:GO009S.png|100px]]<br /> |- style=&quot;font-size:80%&quot;<br /> | Squirtle<br /> | Wartortle<br /> | Blastoise<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====[[Pokémon Channel]]====<br /> &lt;!--[[File:Shop n Squirtle.png|thumb|200px|Shop n Squirtle channel]]--&gt;<br /> In [[Pokémon Channel]], the Shop 'N Squirtle channel is hosted by a member of the Squirtle Squad, named Spencer the Squirtle. The anime special in which the Squirtle Squad appears, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', is also included in the game.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * {{AP|The Squirtle Squad's leader|Squirtle}} is referenced in {{game|Yellow}}, as well as in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], when an [[Officer Jenny]] tells the {{player}} that she {{pkmn2|caught}} a Squirtle that was constantly getting into mischief. She mentions it needed a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} to take care of it, and will give it to the player after they defeat [[Lt. Surge]]{{sup/1|Y}} or {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} over 60 Pokémon{{sup/7|PE}}.<br /> * All members of the Squirtle Squad appear to have heads that are a slightly different shape from all other Squirtle and each other.<br /> * In their [[EP012|debut appearance]], the Squirtle Squad's black jackets all had ゼ (from '''ゼ'''二ガメ; '''Ze'''nigame) printed on the back. This was edited out for the dub, and was removed completely when the jackets appeared in later episodes.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{Langtable|color={{water color}}|bordercolor={{water color dark}}<br /> |cs=Squirtlův gang<br /> |da=Squirtle Holdet<br /> |nl=Squirtle Bende<br /> |fi=Squirtle-jengi{{tt|*|EP012}}&lt;br&gt;Squirtle-ryhmä{{tt|*|AG189-AG190}}<br /> |fr=Gang des Carapuce<br /> |de=Schiggy-Meute<br /> |hu=Squirtlebanda<br /> |it=Squadra degli Squirtle<br /> |no=Squirtle-kompaniet&lt;br&gt;Squirtle-gjengen{{tt|*|Pokémon TV}}&lt;br&gt;Squirtle-laget{{tt|*|VHS description}}<br /> |pl=Drużyna Squirtla{{tt|*|EP267}}&lt;br&gt;Brygada Squirtli{{tt|*|EP106-EP147}}&lt;br&gt;Gang Squirtli{{tt|*|EP147}}&lt;br&gt;Brygada Squirtle/Gang Squirtle{{tt|*|EP012}}<br /> |pt_br=Esquadrão Squirtle<br /> |pt_eu=Pelotão do Squirtle<br /> |ro=Echipa Squirtle<br /> |sr=Skvirtl ekipa<br /> |es=Escuadrón Squirtle<br /> |sv=Squirtle gänget<br /> |tr=Squirtle takımı<br /> |uk=Банда Сквіртлів ''Banda Skvirtliv''<br /> |ru=Отряд Сквиртл ''Otryad Skvirtl''<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * {{Animespecies|Squirtle}}<br /> * [[Ash's Squirtle]]<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Jenny's Pokémon|water}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{animecharacters|water}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Jenny's Pokémon]]<br /> [[Category:Released Pokémon]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Schiggy-Meute]]<br /> [[es:Escuadrón Squirtle]]<br /> [[fr:Gang des Carapuce]]<br /> [[it:Squadra degli Squirtle]]<br /> [[ja:ゼニガメ消防団]]<br /> [[zh:杰尼龟军团]]</div>
