'''Liko's Sprigatito''' (Japanese: '''リコのニャオハ''' ''Liko's Nyahoja'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] that [[Liko]] obtained at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, given to her in the [[Indigo Academy]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito and Liko]]
{{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 its own. 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}}.

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 [[Zir]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} and won after subduing it with its aroma.
[[HZ002|After being rescued]] by [[Friede]], they were taken aboard his airship with the other members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], but were soon confronted by Amethio and his teammates. When Liko was about to give herself up, Sprigatito started yelling at her, making her realize she has been lying to herself. Then, Sprigatito followed Liko's instructions and unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the forcefield around Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, which allowed the [[Explorers]] to capture it before fleeing.

In [[HZ003]], Sprigatito was kept in a warehouse with [[Conia]], 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, only to be confronted by Conia and her {{p|Skarmory}}. Sprigatito was able to blind Conia and Skarmory with Leafage, allowing them to escape. Sprigatito and its Trainer then joined the Rising Volt Tacklers as official members.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Liko Sprigatito scent.png|thumb|250px|Sprigatito's scent putting Rhydon to sleep]]
Sprigatito has shown to be brave, headstrong, and somewhat reckless. However, unlike its species, Sprigatito is neither the affectionate type nor an attention-seeker but can be only when it wants to be. Despite its initial coldness towards its Trainer and those around it, Sprigatito grew to care for Liko after she spent time to better understand its habits. Although caring, it does not like receiving affection, though it will be tolerant with Liko when she does so. It has also shown to be able to make new friends easily and likes to have fun. Sprigatito is shown to be unimpressed by [[Roy]]'s singing.

Sprigatito is capable of releasing a sweet scent from its paws that relaxes those who smell it. As shown in its battle against [[Zir]]'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 Leafage to blind opponents on multiple occasions.

The {{p|Zygarde}} known by [[Team Flare]] by the code name '''Z2''' (Japanese: '''Z2''' ''Z2'') is a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon character in the anime]] who was a central figure of the ''{{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

==History==
[[File:Lysandre Zygarde.png|thumb|left|250px|Z2 captured by [[Lysandre]]]]
Z2 first appeared in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50% Forme}}, where it was attacked by [[Mable]], a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, and their Pokémon in [[Terminus Cave]]. Z2 was able to overpower them and send them flying with ease using {{m|Land's Wrath}}, and escaped its pursuers. It was later seen outside [[Terminus Cave]], watching the sunrise.

In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'' and ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Z2, as a Zygarde Core, was contacted by [[Squishy]]. During one of their conversations, Z2 tried to convince Squishy to cut contact with [[human]]s, claiming them to be destructors of order. Squishy, however, disagreed with it, wanting to continue observing humans.

In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Z2 was cornered by Mable, [[Aliana]], and a trio of Grunts under their command. When it tried to escape via camouflage, it was hit by [[Team Flare]]'s special ray gun, stunning it and disabling its cloaking. To overcome this, Z2 entered 10% Forme and used {{m|Extreme Speed}} to fend off the scientists' {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Druddigon}}, and make its escape. After reverting to its Core Forme, Z2 ran into {{TRT}}, who had recently set their sights on Squishy. Discovering that there were two Zygarde Cores, the trio tried to capture Z2 themselves but were stopped by Team Flare. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} protected Z2 from Team Flare's ray gun, which was then destroyed by {{TP|James|Inkay}}. Jessie then used {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}'s {{m|Seed Bomb}} to escape with the Zygarde Core.
[[File:Lysandre Zygarde 50 Percent.png|thumb|250px|Z2 under Lysandre's control]]
Exhausted from their escape, Team Rocket let Z2 recover by allowing it to absorb sunlight. Soon after recovering, however, they were once again found by Team Flare. Although the trio fought hard, they were eventually defeated. Left with few options, Z2 transformed into its 50% Forme and fought back with {{m|Dragon Pulse}} and Land's Wrath, overpowering Team Flare's Pokémon. Before Z2 could finish off Team Flare, it was stopped by a {{m|Flamethrower}} from [[Alain's Charizard]]. [[Alain]] and his Mega Charizard X then battled Z2, covering for Mable and Aliana. After getting {{m|Dragon Claw}}ed, Z2 managed to blast Charizard into a rock with Extreme Speed. It was then struck by Dragon Claw again, but Z2 quickly retaliated with Land's Wrath, dealing serious damage to Charizard. Despite having gained the upper hand, it was eventually surrounded by the two scientists, who proceeded to stun it with full-power blasts from their ray guns and sapping its strength, causing it to revert back to its Core Forme. After blasting away Team Rocket, Z2 was secured by Mable, who deemed the operation a success. Z2 was later seen at [[Lysandre Labs]], glaring at [[Lysandre]].

Following these events, Z2 was seen several times, being observed and experimented on by Lysandre and [[Xerosic]]. It appeared again in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', where it was listening to Squishy talk about {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Greninja}}.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Z2 was moved into [[Lumiose Gym]] with several Zygarde Cells in preparation for the climax of Team Flare's plans. Team Flare's scheme was put into action in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', where Z2 was placed under influence of Team Flare by Xerosic's Mega Evolution energy weapon. After reaching the summit of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], it transformed into its 50% Forme and unleashed massive roots through the city and the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium, interrupting the ending ceremony. In the [[XY132|next episode]], Z2 continued to destroy [[Lumiose City]]. Even when Squishy confronted it atop Prism Tower, Z2 did not respond and launched a {{m|Dragon Pulse}} at Squishy which overpowered the latter's Dragon Pulse and knocked it down from the tower. After Squishy transformed into its 50% Forme, Z2 jumped down to battle it. During their battle in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Z2 took some harsh hits from Squishy, but was eventually able to constrict Squishy with its giant roots, allowing Xerosic to hit Squishy with the Mega Evolution energy weapon. With Squishy being controlled as well, both Zygarde continued their rampage.
[[File:Squishy and Z2 farewell.png|thumb|left|250px|Z2 and Squishy leaving together]]
Z2 was finally freed from Team Flare's control in the [[XY134|the following episode]], after {{an|Clemont}} and [[Clembot]] managed to destroy the machine. [[XY135|Later]], it reunited with Squishy and after listening to it talking about the things it had experienced during its travels with {{an|Bonnie}}, Z2 reluctantly began to trust humans. It later accompanied the group to the [[Giant Rock]]. After witnessing how hard everyone was fighting to protect [[Kalos]] and after a brief conversation with Squishy, Z2 finally came to an understanding that not all human beings are evil and decides to believe in them just like Squishy does. Z2 and Squishy stepped in and combined into their Complete Forme and used [[Core Enforcer]] to destroy the Giant Rock, causing Lysandre to vanish. Both Zygarde then said goodbye to everyone and disappeared with each other.

It appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Z2 and Squishy rescued Team Rocket from getting hit by a root. Ash and {{ashfr}} were later brought to Z2 by Squishy, and the two Zygarde Cores explained that they had been weeding out negative energy left over from the Team Flare crisis, with the energy spreading throughout Kalos in the form of the same roots that destroyed parts of Lumiose City. However, tracking down the source of the negative energy proved to be a difficult task for them to accomplish. Having witnessed Greninja's ability to locate the negative energy within the roots, Z2 and Squishy asked Greninja to lend them its strength to protect Kalos, which Ash agreed on. Z2 then left with Squishy and Greninja, bidding farewell to Ash and his friends.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Z2 appeared alongside Squishy as both oversaw Ash's Greninja destroying a root that was attacking the Kalos region.

==Personality and characteristics==
Unlike Squishy, Z2 greatly distrusts humans. In ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Z2 suggested that it and Squishy completely seclude themselves from humankind. When Squishy disagreed, Z2 asserted that humans disrupt the order they exist to maintain, and are a threat to [[Kalos]]. It has a blue core, as opposed to Squishy's red core. This distrust was exploited by Lysandre, who gained control over Z2 and used it to attack Lumiose City from the top of Prism Tower. Even after it was freed from Team Flare's control by {{an|Clemont}}, Z2 still showed a great amount of mistrust towards humans. It would take the combined efforts of Ash and his friends fighting alongside [[Alain]], [[Steven Stone]], [[Diantha]], the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Meyer]], and [[Malva]] to show Z2 that humans were not disruptions of order, but rather protectors of it.

'''Squishy''' (Japanese: '''プニちゃん''' ''Puni-chan'') is a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Core}}, a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon character in the anime]] that traveled with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} under the care of {{an|Bonnie}}. It is known by [[Team Flare]] by the code name '''Z1'''. It first appeared in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' and is the central figure of the ''{{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

==History==
Squishy, as a {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Core}}, first appeared in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', where [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], recovered it from an experiment being done in the [[Lysandre Labs]]. Although the Core escaped, Chespie fell into a coma. [[XY094|At some point]] after escaping [[Team Flare]], it found its way to a bag on a stump, which the tired Order Pokémon decided to sleep in. This bag turned out to belong to {{an|Bonnie}}, who became quickly enamored with the cute Pokémon. It attempted to escape to no avail. {{Ash}} and {{an|Serena}} attempted to scan it to learn what it was, but neither [[Pokédex]] recognized it. Bonnie then [[nickname]]d it Squishy in the absence of a species name and decided to take care of it despite {{an|Clemont}} pointing out that they knew nothing about this Pokémon.

Squishy was quickly separated from the group after [[Sawyer's Grovyle]] chased a group of {{p|Dodrio}} through the forest the group was in. The group, together with [[Sawyer]], soon caught up to it, only to find it being captured by Team Flare Scientist [[Celosia]] and a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s. Celosia referred to Squishy as theirs, but as her harsh treatment made Ash and {{ashfr}} skeptical of this claim, they went on to save Squishy. The five and their Pokémon were able to escape with Squishy none the worse for its ordeal.

After escaping, Squishy was introduced to the rest of the group's Pokémon. During dinner, the group was confused that Squishy was refusing to eat, but understood when it basked in the setting sun and absorbed sunlight. Soon after, it went berserk upon seeing [[Terminus Cave]] on Serena's Town Map and attacked the device, which the group interpreted to mean it wanted to go there.

That night, it detected through its cells that Celosia and the Team Flare Grunts were still searching for it, so it woke the group up. It was attacked by the Grunts again, but Ash and Sawyer, still unconvinced that Squishy belonged to them, defended it while Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie carried it away from Celosia's group. However, it was separated from the three after Bonnie fell while crossing a river, leading to it being cornered by [[Bryony]]. Out of desperation, it absorbed surrounding cells to transform into its 10% Forme, allowing it to use {{m|Land's Wrath}} to force Bryony and her subordinates to retreat. Although this exhausted it, it absorbed light to heal itself. It was then found by Bonnie who promised she wouldn't let it go again. Seeing that Ash and his friends meant no harm, Squishy began to trust them and decided to travel with them.
[[File:Bonnie and Squishy.png|thumb|left|250px|Squishy and Bonnie]]
In ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', Squishy was shown to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} who was informed that neither of the two Pokédexes recognized it. Sycamore then went on to say that it could be a new Pokémon. While resting in Bonnie's bag, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} wanted it to make space for it so that Dedenne could rest. Serena then decided that she would make an extension for Squishy to rest. While Serena was stitching Bonnie's bag, Squishy went to rest on a rock nearby and absorbed sunlight for itself to re-energize. When the stitching was done, both Squishy and Dedenne were happy as they could now rest in Bonnie's bag. Later, Squishy got kidnapped by {{TRT}}, along with [[Serena's Eevee]], [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], and Dedenne. They managed to escape, but were quickly found again. When Bunnelby and Dedenne got defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}, Squishy prepared to change its form and attack them, but stopped when Ash and the group arrived.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', after the gang viewed the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]], Squishy separated from the rest to sleep in a nearby tree. A {{p|Darkrai}} also happened to nestle in that same tree, and started showing Squishy a nightmare, pulling [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} into its dream. In the dream, the group's Pokémon were either in their evolved or pre-evolved form and could speak [[human]] language, while the humans spoke like Pokémon. Pikachu and Meowth met up with Squishy, who was getting chased by a flaming ghost. Squishy showed them a glimpse of its true strength, before attempting to escape to its home so it could access this power. After the defeat of the flaming ghost, it was woken from its dream by [[Clemontic Gear|Clemont's (failed) invention]], and promptly found by Ash and his friends.

When Ash and his friends finally arrived at Terminus Cave in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Squishy separated from the group and continued alone to an underground lake in the cave. When it arrived at the lake, it got detected by a sensor placed by Team Flare. In the waters, it began meditating and contacted [[Z2]]. When the group arrived at the lake, their conversation ended and Squishy camouflaged itself. Then Team Flare entered Terminus Cave who, after spotting Squishy using their special scopes, managed to injure Squishy by shooting it with their specialized laser guns. During a hard fought battle between Ash and his friends and Team Flare, Squishy transformed to its 10% Forme and proceeded to defeat Team Flare's Pokémon. Celosia and Bryony then sent out their {{p|Manectric}} and {{p|Liepard}} to try and stop Squishy, but they were stopped in their tracks by [[Ash's Greninja]] and Pikachu, giving Squishy the chance to escape. After Team Flare had retreated, Squishy was seen hiding behind a tree, watching the group.

Squishy was continuously seen watching the group in [[XY103|the following episode]]. It also contacted Z2 again, who tried to convince Squishy to cut contact with humans. Squishy, however, disagreed with Z2 and wanted to continue observing humans. Later, when Bonnie was trying to get the medicine for [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], who got injured earlier, Squishy helped Bonnie to reach it. At the end of the episode, Squishy returned to Bonnie's bag and had a tearful reunion with her.

In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Squishy sensed something was wrong with Z2, as it was getting chased by Team Flare, greatly worrying it. At the end of the episode, Squishy felt incredibly upset after realizing Z2 had been captured by Team Flare and vowed that it would come to rescue it.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Squishy used its cells to find a safe hiding spot for the group after they got stuck in a snowstorm looking for Ash. It later went out to look for Ash after his friends started getting really worried. While in its 10% Forme, it eventually met up with Greninja and told it of Ash's location, which it had tracked using its cells. At the end of the episode, when Ash and Greninja had returned, Squishy sent a message to Z2, telling it that Ash and Greninja truly embodied the unity between people and Pokémon.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Squishy turned into its 10% Forme to protect Pikachu from a {{me|Banette}}'s {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} by using {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to counter the move. Soon after, it aided Pikachu by allowing him to ride on its leash, to get in close to a Mega {{p|Aggron}} and hit it with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Later Squishy was seen fighting with a Mega {{p|Glalie}}, before turning into its Complete Forme from afar and firing a Dragon Pulse to counter the laser that [[Alva]] had shot from his airship at the [[Nebel Plateau]]. Neither Bonnie nor the rest saw Squishy turn into its Complete Forme. It then reverted to its Core form before rejoining the group.

During the [[Lumiose Conference]], Squishy typically hid in Bonnie's bag, but in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', it stayed out to watch Ash and [[Alain]] compete in the finals. During [[XY131|the awards ceremony]], the stadium was attacked by Team Flare and Z2, now under Team Flare's control. Squishy sensed Z2 going berserk, and left Bonnie and the others in the confusion. In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% Forme to make its way to [[Lumiose Gym]], while trying to reach out to Z2 telepathically. Z2, however, did not respond. As the sun began to set, Squishy climbed Prism Tower to confront Z2, but its Dragon Pulse was overpowered by Z2's own Dragon Pulse, sending it off the edge of the tower and causing it to revert to its original form. With no other choice, Squishy called for more Zygarde Cells and transformed into its 50% Forme to match Z2. In the process, Ash and his friends realized that Squishy is in fact a Zygarde like the one attacking the city. Squishy continued its battle against Z2 in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', where it used its {{m|Extreme Speed}} to dodge Z2's roots and slam into it with full force. Squishy, however, was eventually subdued by the roots, allowing [[Xerosic]] to hit it with the Mega Evolution energy-powered beam, controlling Squishy. Now being controlled by Team Flare as well, it proceeded to take part in Z2's destruction of [[Lumiose City]].

While continuing its destruction in [[XY134|the next episode]], Squishy was eventually confronted by Bonnie and [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]. Bonnie's attempts to calm it down didn't work, however, and Squishy attacked her with its roots, slamming Blaziken Mask into a wall, who stepped in to protect Bonnie. As Squishy neared Bonnie and prepared to attack her with Dragon Pulse, Bonnie made one last attempt to save Squishy by singing [[Puni-chan's Song]]. The song managed to get through to Squishy, freeing it from Team Flare's control. After reverting back to its Core form and reuniting with Bonnie, Squishy left to find Z2, who had been freed from Team Flare's control as well.
[[File:Squishy and Z2 farewell.png|thumb|250px|Squishy leaving with Z2]]
Upon finding Z2 in [[XY135|the following episode]], it tried to explain to the skeptical Core that humans and Pokémon are worthy to be trusted, telling it about the things it had experienced during its travels with Bonnie. It was then brought along with Bonnie when she and the others chased and tried to stop the advancing [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', while watching everyone fight the Giant Rock, Squishy once again talked with Z2 and convinced it that humans, along with Pokémon, were worthy to be trusted and saved. After gaining the trust of the other Core, both of them joined hands and transformed into their Complete Forme. With this Forme, they managed to stop [[Lysandre]], destroying the Giant Rock and thus returning [[Kalos]]' environment back to normal. After this, it had to properly rest and left the group, but not before expressing its gratitude towards Bonnie and her companions for protecting it all of this time and showing it that both humans and Pokémon may have the determination to never give up.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Squishy and Z2 rescued Team Rocket from getting hit by a root. Squishy later appeared before Ash and his friends, protecting them from another root. After having a tearful reunion with Bonnie, it told Ash's Greninja to follow it, and led the group to Z2. There, Squishy explained that it and Z2 had been weeding out the negative energy left over from the Team Flare crisis, energy of which was spreading throughout Kalos in the form of the same roots that destroyed parts of Lumiose City. However, tracking down the source of the negative energy proved to be a difficult task for them to accomplish. Having witnessed Greninja's ability to locate the negative energy within the roots, it asked Greninja to lend them its strength to protect Kalos, which Ash agreed on. Before Squishy left with Z2 and Greninja, Bonnie promised that she would come back for it when she was old enough to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

In [[XY140|the following episode]], Squishy and Z2 both oversaw Ash's Greninja destroying a root that was attacking the Kalos region.

==Personality and characteristics==
Squishy, being a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, keeps a regular check of nature through its other cells that are scattered throughout the region. Squishy uses these cells as surveillance cameras, and will always check with its cells before falling asleep. If it senses that enemies are approaching, it will wake any traveling companions up to warn them. When in danger, as shown in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', it calls upon these cells to change its form.

As shown when it tried to escape from the group, Squishy doesn't fully trust humans; this may stem from the experiments it was subjected to at the hands of [[Team Flare]]. It only warmed up to the group when they rescued it from [[Celosia]], and even then, it didn't fully trust them until they defended it a second time. In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', it showed a moment's hesitation before heading to the center of Terminus Cave, looking back at Ash's group before plunging down a chasm. While communicating with [[Z2]] in ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', Squishy disagreed with Z2's unfavorable opinion on humankind, and expressed the desire to continue observing them. However, through the journey with Bonnie and her friends, Squishy developed more belief in humans and Pokémon, as evidenced with its opinion on Ash and Greninja in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', and when it tries to convince Z2 to believe in them and save the Kalos region in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''.

As seen in the Japanese version of ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', it tends to refer to itself in collective, as it is a part of the bigger Zygarde. Squishy is highly ticklish, as shown on its first encounter with the group and in [[Puni-chan's Song]]. Its biggest fear is a fiery ghost who constantly tries to attack and capture it.

'''Ash's Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシのゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi's Gekkouga'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his forty-third overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====At Professor Sycamore's Laboratory====
Greninja's early life was first seen in a flashback in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]''. As a Froakie, it hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} and initially lived its life alongside other {{p|Froakie}} in a pond. While the other Froakie spent their time playing and dancing, it spent most of its time away from the others training itself. Due to this, it was seen as a disturbance to the group and was attacked. A [[Nurse Joy]] healed Froakie and gave it to {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to be given away as a [[starter Pokémon]]. It then learned that it could only get strong with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} it truly trusted, and thus became very selective of its Trainer. As a result, Froakie had gone through several Trainers, always returning to Sycamore after either leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].

In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', Froakie first saw Ash when he was kicked out of the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It continued to observe the group until {{TRT}} intervened in Ash and {{an|Clemont}}'s friendly Pokémon battle. It volunteered to help out by successfully using its Frubbles to counter [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], but ended up receiving quite a bit of damage during the encounter.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash decided to take Froakie to Sycamore's lab, where it was treated and restored to full health. Asking about its Trainer, Ash was informed, by Sycamore, that its Trainer had called to give Froakie back.

Later on, Team Rocket attempted to use a ring-type device against Froakie, but the lab's resident {{p|Garchomp}} got caught in it instead, causing her to go on a rampage after the machine malfunctioned. Ash, along with Froakie and his {{AP|Pikachu}}, headed out to rescue Garchomp. In order to prevent her from falling down the Prism Tower, Froakie used its Frubbles on Garchomp's feet, and Pikachu broke the device using {{m|Iron Tail}}.

While leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory the next day, Froakie threw a chunk of its Frubbles in Ash's face in order to get his attention. It motioned to a {{i|Poké Ball}} lying on the ground in front of it, expressing its desire to join his party. When Ash approved, Froakie happily pressed the Poké Ball's button and was {{pkmn2|caught}}.

====With Ash====
[[File:Ash Froakie past.png|thumb|left|250px|Froakie's previous Trainers]]
In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', Froakie was introduced to {{an|Professor Oak}}, who was fascinated by the Bubble Frog Pokémon. For most of the subsequent trip on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, Froakie was seen outside of its Poké Ball. After a wild {{AP|Fletchling}} took a [[Berry]] that {{an|Bonnie}} was going to give to a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, Froakie stubbornly attempted to fight Fletchling, only to lose. After Ash learned that it was only trying to get payback at Fletchling for making Bonnie sad, he and Froakie challenged Fletchling to one final battle by climbing the rocks to match Fletchling's speed. Although Fletchling escaped from Ash's Poké Ball once, Froakie later defeated it, which ended in both its defeat and catch.

In ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Froakie battled {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}}'s {{p|Sylveon}} and was about to finish Sylveon off when it was infatuated with {{m|Attract}} and defeated with a {{m|Draining Kiss}}. As the group arrived at the kindergarten where Penelope worked, Froakie was left embarrassed by its loss and stood alone while the other Pokémon played with the kindergartners. When Team Rocket appeared and stole Pikachu and Sylveon, Froakie and [[Randall]], one of the children, were accidentally trapped in Team Rocket's truck during the chaos. Later, when Ash entered the truck, the three worked together to break the glass containers holding Pikachu and Sylveon, helping Randall get over his fear for Pokémon in the process. Froakie and Pikachu then defeated Team Rocket, blasting them off. Afterwards, Froakie and Randall gave each other a fist bump as a sign of their new friendship, before the group said goodbye to everyone at the kindergarten.

In ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', Froakie battled [[Sanpei's Frogadier]]. During the battle, Frogadier used {{m|Quick Attack}} and was able to defeat Froakie, who was unable to keep up with Frogadier's moves despite its stubbornness about winning the battler. Impressed by Frogadier's Quick Attack, Ash wanted to teach it to Froakie with the help of [[Sanpei]]. However, despite lots of training, Froakie still wasn't able to perfect Quick Attack. Suddenly, Team Rocket attacked the group and caught Pikachu and Frogadier. Thanks to its training, Froakie managed to learn {{m|Double Team}} and used it to free Pikachu and Frogadier. Working with Frogadier, they both used Water Pulse to blast Team Rocket off.

In ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', Froakie, in order to save itself and a {{p|Skrelp}} from a whirlpool, jumped on boxes and debris to escape from the whirlpool and reach safety. This gave Ash the idea for the Rock Tomb Climb. In [[XY025|the next episode]], Ash used Froakie as his first Pokémon in his [[Cyllage Gym]] Battle against [[Grant]]. Froakie went up against his {{p|Onix}}. During the battle, Onix used its signature move {{m|Rock Tomb}}, but Froakie used this opportunity to perform Rock Tomb Climb by climbing on the falling rocks. After reaching the top, Froakie used Water Pulse, which dealt major damage to Onix. After narrowly dodging an Iron Tail, it climbed up Onix's large body and defeated it with Water Pulse. It then went up against Grant's last Pokémon, {{p|Tyrunt}}, during which Froakie performed Rock Tomb Climb again. However, Tyrunt jumped high and used {{m|Draco Meteor}}, knocking Froakie out.

In ''[[XY035|The Forest Champion!]]'', Froakie was used to battle a wild {{AP|Hawlucha}} Ash had befriended. After an exchange of multiple attacks, Hawlucha used {{m|Flying Press}}, but Froakie countered with Pound at the last minute, causing a collision that knocked out both Pokémon and ended the battle in a draw. Later, Froakie was seen when Ash caught Hawlucha. It would later have a conflict with Hawlucha in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]''. In the wake of learning {{m|Cut}}, Ash and Clemont decided to have a battle in which Froakie and Hawlucha battled against {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}. Ash commanded Hawlucha to use {{m|Karate Chop}} to counter Bunnelby's {{m|Mud Shot}}, but Froakie used Water Pulse on Bunnelby instead. This angered Hawlucha, who wanted to hit Bunnelby. The dispute later escalated, requiring them to be separated by Ash. In an attempt to defuse the tension, Ash decided to train the two in using a new move called "Super Flying Cut". During the training, Ash was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Trevenant}}, and both Froakie and Hawlucha got separated from the rest of the group in the process. After finding [[Ash's hat]], the two resolved their differences and sought to find their Trainer. After finding him, they battled Team Rocket, overcoming their Pokémon with their new special move and blasting them off. Froakie and Hawlucha then gave each other a fist bump, solidifying their new friendship.

In ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', Froakie was training with Ash and Pikachu when Bonnie noticed Sanpei in the water. It went rescued him and his {{p|Greninja}}, who were previously attacked by [[Saizo]] and his {{p|Barbaracle}}. After thwarting another attack, the group decided to help Sanpei find a mansion so he could deliver a secret document given to him by his mentor. Eventually, after they and their Trainers were separated from the rest of the group, Froakie and Greninja encountered Saizo once more and had a rematch. However, neither their joint attacks or the involvement of Pikachu gave them the upper hand. The three are eventually trapped in rocks by Barbaracle's {{m|Mud-Slap}}, which also blinded Pikachu and Greninja. Froakie managed to break free and evolve into a Frogadier; it weakened the Collective Pokémon with its newly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} before Saizo fled the battle. After reaching the mansion, it was revealed that Saizo was in fact Sanpei's mentor, who had been testing his student and that the document was actually blank. Frogadier and Greninja had a battle at the end of the episode, but the outcome was unknown.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Coumarine Gym]] Battle against [[Ramos]]. Despite being at a type disadvantage, it went up against {{p|Weepinbell}}, which had already defeated Fletchinder and Hawlucha. Frogadier was eventually able to defeat the Flycatcher Pokémon with Aerial Ace, which overcame and destroyed its {{m|Grass Knot}}. It then went up against Ramos's last Pokémon, his {{p|Gogoat}}. During the battle, Gogoat used {{m|Leech Seed}} on Frogadier, trapping it while draining Frogadier's health. Gogoat then used {{m|Razor Leaf}}, circling around Frogadier while launching leaves at it. As a result, neither Ash nor Frogadier were able to see Gogoat. Then, Ash remembered the advice that Ramos gave him; that getting flustered would only make matters worse, and that if he kept a level head he'd be able to see the important things. With the advice in mind, Ash had Frogadier listen for the sounds of Gogoat's movements. After getting hit by multiple leaves, it finally managed to sense Gogoat, cut through the Razor Leaf, and did major damage with Aerial Ace before using Double Team. Though the Mount Pokémon took out the copies with Vine Whip, this gave Frogadier an opening. It hit Gogoat with Water Pulse and knocked it out, giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Plant}}.

[[File:Ash Greninja Sawyer Sceptile.png|thumb|250px|Its rivalry with Sawyer's Sceptile]]
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', Ash used Frogadier and Hawlucha for his [[Double Battle]] against [[Sawyer]]. They went up against [[Sawyer's Treecko]] and {{p|Bagon}} and won. However, before Ash and Sawyer could continue their battle, but they were interrupted by the commotion caused by [[Valerie]]'s Fashion Show. Later, in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', Ash used Frogadier as his third Pokémon in his three-versus-three battle against Sawyer. It went up against {{p|Treecko}}, despite the type disadvantage. During the battle, Treecko suddenly evolved into {{p|Grovyle}}, learning {{m|Leaf Blade}} in the process. Despite this development, however, Frogadier took advantage of smoke, created by the collision of its Water Pulse and Grovyle's Bullet Seed, to get into the air and attack Grovyle with Water Pulse from behind, defeating the Wood Gecko Pokémon. After the battle, both Frogadier and Grovyle were impressed with the other's abilities and developed a rivalry with each other.

In ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', Frogadier's past was revealed by [[Olympia]], who also predicted it would gain a great power. In [[XY093|the next episode]], Frogadier was used along with Talonflame in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Olympia]]'s two {{p|Meowstic}} at the Anistar Gym. The two initially had a difficult time dodging their opponents' moves thanks to their {{m|Helping Hand}}-boosted {{m|Future Sight}} and the female Meowstic's Ability {{a|Keen Eye}}. However, Ash came up with a strategy to have Pikachu keep track of the time it took for Future Sight to hit its mark. During an exchange of attacks, Frogadier was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by the female Meowstic's {{m|Thunder Wave}}. Eventually, it and Talonflame charged at the Meowstic and managed to grab onto them. Thanks to Pikachu, they were able to let them go at the moment Future Sight was executed, causing it to hit Meowstic instead. As Talonflame knocked the female Meowstic out with Flame Charge, Frogadier prepared to defeat the male with Water Pulse. Despite initial difficulties its paralysis, Frogadier managed to overpower the male Meowstic's Psyshock, thanks to Ash's words of encouragement, and knocked Meowstic out. This gave Ash the victory, earning him the {{badge|Psychic}}.

In ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', Frogadier was seen training with Ash. It then met up with Sanpei and his Greninja again; they took the group to their hometown, the [[Ninja Village]]. Frogadier watched the battle between Sanpei's Greninja and [[Nihei]]'s {{p|Venusaur}} with great interest and was shocked when Greninja was defeated. It then followed Ash and his friends and saw the shrine dedicated to the Hero Greninja. When the village was attacked, Frogadier and Ash, along with Sanpei and Greninja, chased after the kidnappers of {{kal|Hanzo}}, the village elder, but were confronted by [[Heidayu]] and his {{p|Bisharp}}.

In [[XY100|the next episode]], Frogadier, along with Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja, began to battle Heidayu's Bisharp. Bisharp easily overcame their combined efforts, but it was defeated due to the intervention of Saizo and his Barbaracle. Later, Frogadier joined Pikachu and Sanpei's Greninja in a rematch with Bisharp, but they still struggled against the Sword Blade Pokémon. While the three Pokémon struggled to stand after being subjected to Bisharp's {{m|Snarl}}, Heidayu ordered Bisharp to finish Pikachu off with Shadow Claw. At the last moment, Frogadier got up and jumped in front of Pikachu to protect him, causing it to evolve into Greninja and learn {{m|Water Shuriken}}. Following its evolution, Greninja was matched with Bisharp due to its new powerful attack. Hearing Ash's words of encouragement, Greninja mysteriously transformed into a new form that would later be known as Ash-Greninja. With its new power, Greninja knocked Bisharp out with a powerful Cut. Afterwards, the torrent of water surrounding it dissipated and Greninja reverted to its normal form, leaving Ash confused over what just happened. After the Ninja Army was defeated, Greninja bade Sanpei and his Greninja farewell as Ash and his friends left the village.

In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Greninja was used by Ash to retrieve [[Squishy]], who was captured by Team Rocket at the time. Greninja quickly retrieved it and returned it to Bonnie. After Squishy defeated [[Team Flare]]'s Pokémon and ran away, Greninja battled [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Manectric}} and [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}}, who chased after Squishy. During the battle, it transformed into its Ash-Greninja form and easily beat Manectric and Liepard back with its great speed and power, forcing Team Flare to retreat. During the battle, it was shown that Ash and Greninja share each other's pain and exhaustion while Greninja was in its Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, Greninja and Ash fell to their knees in exhaustion.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Greninja was first used to battle Sawyer's Sceptile. It was eventually able to defeat Sceptile with Aerial Ace upon transforming into Ash-Greninja. Its transformation was noticed by [[Alain]], who was passing by. The next day, Alain requested a battle with Greninja, and Ash agreed. During the battle between Greninja and [[Alain's Charizard]], Charizard [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], while Greninja again evolved into Ash-Greninja. In the end, Charizard was able to defeat Greninja with {{m|Blast Burn}}.

In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', Clemont developed an invention that would monitor Ash and Greninja's pulse so the group would know more about Greninja's transformation ability. Greninja was sent out to spar with [[Clemont's Luxray]] to try and trigger the transformation. Despite multiple attacks being exchanged, the battle was eventually called off since both Pokémon became tired and Greninja's transformation still hadn't taken place. After Alain showed up, he and Ash agreed to have a rematch, with Greninja battling Alain's Charizard once more. During the battle, Charizard Mega Evolved and managed to hit Greninja with a powerful Thunder Punch. This triggered its transformation into Ash-Greninja, and it was able to match Charizard in combat with its increased power. However, the battle was called off when Ash collapsed from exhaustion. When Ash regained consciousness, he realized that he and Greninja would have to be more careful in using the transformation. Thus, he vowed to train harder in order to perfect it.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Ash and his friends met up with [[Diantha]], who battled Ash and Greninja with {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} after hearing of the latter's special power. Eventually, Greninja and Ash reached the point where they could transform into Ash-Greninja. Diantha was impressed by its special form, as Greninja started to gain the upper hand. It was able to keep up with Gardevoir's speed and strike it. Diantha finally had Gardevoir Mega Evolve and repel Greninja's attacks. With their power matched, Ash and Greninja reached Ash-Greninja's final form, and the water veil that surrounded Greninja turned into a massive, back-mounted shuriken, much to everyone's shock. Greninja then attacked with its new Water Shuriken, which proved to be stronger against Gardevoir's {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, before the battle could progress any further, both Greninja and Ash passed out again from exhaustion. As a result, Gardevoir had to fend off Team Rocket while the two regained consciousness. Greninja and Ash soon recovered, and vowed to fully master their newfound transformation.

[[File:Ash Greninja Lumiose Conference.png|thumb|250px|As Ash-Greninja in the Lumiose Conference]]
From ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'' to ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash and Greninja faced a major personal crisis in being able to perfect the Ash-Greninja form. Ash first started having doubts of himself after Greninja lost to Sawyer's Sceptile during their three-on-three battle, having been unable to transform. [[XY120|Later on]], Ash and Greninja finally managed to activate the form during the Gym battle against [[Wulfric]], but despite that, Greninja still lost due to being frozen by {{p|Avalugg}}'s attacks. Blaming himself for their loss, Ash decided to leave Greninja at the [[Pokémon Center]] and walked off into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] alone. It [[XY121|the following episode]], Greninja left to look for Ash. With Squishy's help, they reunited during a blizzard and worked together to save a bunch of {{p|Spewpa}} that were trapped on a tree branch hanging above a cliff. As a result, they were able to get their feelings in sync, and Greninja was able to perfect the Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, Ash and Greninja, along with some forest Pokémon, sought shelter in a cave, where the two promised to start over again. Later on, they reunited with the group and returned to the Pokémon Center. There, Greninja showed Ash its Poké Ball and rolled it over to him, just like the time when it was first caught, signifying their resolve to start over again.

In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon during the rematch against Wulfric, and it battled his {{p|Abomasnow}} this time, despite having a severe type disadvantage. During the battle, Greninja proved to hold its own against Abomasnow. As a result, Wulfric revealed his [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Abomasnow. Against Mega Abomasnow, Greninja had a much harder time, but after an exchange of attacks, it eventually finished Abomasnow off with a powerful Aerial Ace. This gave Ash the win and earning him his final [[Kalos]] Badge, the {{badge|Iceberg}}.

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', Ash used Greninja in the first round of the [[Lumiose Conference]], where it faced [[Titus]]'s {{p|Altaria}}. Greninja transformed into Ash-Greninja during the battle, shocking the spectators, and defeated Altaria with a single Water Shuriken. In ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Greninja was used as Ash's final Pokémon in the semifinals. It faced off against Sawyer's Sceptile again, during which both Pokémon transformed into their more powerful forms. Despite Sceptile's attempts to corner Greninja with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, Greninja was able to dodge every single Frenzy Plant and slice through them using Cut, thanks to its shared senses with Ash and its full trust in him. Greninja fired a massive Water Shuriken while Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, triggering a large explosion. After the smoke cleared, only Greninja remained standing, giving Ash the win and allowing him to advance to the finals.

In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Greninja was Ash's final Pokémon used in the finals against Alain. After defeating Alain's Bisharp, it faced off against Charizard. After several exchanges of attacks, Ash and Alain had their Pokémon use Water Shuriken and Blast Burn, respectively. As Greninja unleashed all of its power into the attack, its Shuriken grew to massive size and changed to a fiery red-orange color. Both Pokémon then fired off their attacks, with both scoring a direct hit on their opponent. Although initially both Pokémon were still standing, Greninja wasn't able to take the damage and soon fainted, causing Alain to win the Lumiose Conference.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Greninja, along with Ash and his other Pokémon, was taken captive at the top of Prism Tower by [[Lysandre]], who intended to use their [[Bond Phenomenon]] for his plans. In [[XY133|the next episode]], it and Ash were hit by a miniature version of the Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray, designed to control them, but they broke free using Bond Phenomenon. After Alain's Charizard broke Ash's other Pokémon free, Greninja, along with everyone else, battled [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}}. [[XY134|Later on]], Pyroar, Noivern, Hawlucha, and Goodra were defeated; and [[Malva]] appeared and decided to fight alongside Ash and Alain.

The battle finally concluded in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', when Greninja and Charizard hit Gyarados with a respective Cut and Dragon Claw, allowing Pikachu to finish the Atrocious Pokémon off with a Thunderbolt. Greninja later helped [[Serena's Braixen]], [[Steven's Metagross]], and Professor Sycamore's Garchomp fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. Greninja managed to sense [[Chespie]]'s location inside the Giant Rock and managed to throw a Water Shuriken into its body, marking the location. It, along with the other Pokémon, was eventually subdued by the Giant Rock's roots, but was freed by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the Kalos Gym Leaders and Diantha. After coming up with a strategy, everyone combined their powers to fend off the Giant Rock's roots, allowing Ash and Alain to reach its center and save Chespie, bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Giant Rock, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Greninja, Pikachu, and Alain's Charizard managed to destroy Lysandre's control device, allowing Squishy and [[Z2]] to destroy the Giant Rock.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Greninja detected the presence of one of the Giant Rock's remaining roots. After transforming into Ash-Greninja, it was able to see the root's underground source and used {{m|Water Shuriken}} on it, causing the root to wither away. After [[Xerosic]] revealed his plans to create Neo-[[Team Flare]] and kidnapped {{an|Clemont}}, Ash sent Greninja to follow him. It helped Ash and his friends defeat Xerosic in battle, leading to Xerosic's arrest. However, parts of the Giant Rock still remained. After [[Squishy]] appeared and saved {{an|Bonnie}} from another root, it led Greninja and the group to [[Z2]], who requested Greninja to help it and Squishy detect and destroy all of the Giant Rock's remnants. Greninja accepted Z2's request and bid farewell to Ash and his friends. In [[XY140|the following episode]], Greninja was seen destroying a root, with Squishy and Z2 watching nearby.

===Personality and characteristics===
As a Froakie, it was a stubborn, picky Pokémon, displayed by the fact that it had several other Trainers that it refused to listen to, either forcing them to return it to Professor Sycamore or abandoning them and returning to the lab itself. It is also extremely similar to Ash personality wise, as it is not afraid to leap into danger regardless of its own safety and doesn't back down from a fight. It is clear that it recognizes these traits in Ash, hence why it was finally willing to accept being taken into Ash's wing. It also has a sense of honor, as demonstrated when it attacked {{AP|Fletchling}} just because it made {{an|Bonnie}} cry. In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', it is shown to have a good judgment of character, as it became suspicious of Meowth when he pretended to side with it, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} under a temporary truce. Froakie is prone to blushing when praised, as shown when being thanked by Bonnie in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]''. As shown in ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Greninja as a Froakie gets embarrassed when losing in a bad way, such as when it lost because of Attract.

[[File:Ash-Greninja water veil.png|thumb|250px|Covered in a water veil as Ash-Greninja]]
Since evolving into a Frogadier, its personality remained largely the same. It is still shown to be loyal to Ash, as shown when it hugged him after its victory in the Coumarine City Gym battle. Greninja is a responsible Pokémon that can take initiative to protect its friends and allies. In ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', it volunteered to scout ahead to protect {{an|Serena}} and Chespin after they had gotten separated from the group. Greninja also appears to be good with younger Pokémon and children. As a Froakie, in addition to challenging Fletchling for making Bonnie cry, it was able to befriend the timid [[Randall]] during one of {{TRT}}'s schemes. As a Frogadier, it can be seen looking after {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} in ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'' while Ash and his friends were preparing gifts for their Pokémon. Greninja also seems to care deeply for its friends and would go to great lengths to keep them safe from danger, as seen when it acted as bodyguard for Serena and Chespin in ''[[XY071|So You're Having a Bad Day!]]'', and protected the two from a wild {{p|Pangoro}}.

Greninja seems to appreciate and respect bravery and selflessness, and as such, aims to be so itself. This is first shown when it took a hit for Pikachu during Team Rocket's attack despite not knowing Pikachu or his Trainer, and then proceeded to help them both in combat. It respects those with these traits, as it does Ash. Greninja was impressed and surprised by Ash's willingness to put himself in danger to help a Garchomp that wasn't his Pokémon and barely knew, and admired this show of self-sacrifice and selflessness to the point Greninja as a Froakie went alongside Ash to face Garchomp. It also showed genuine concern for Ash's safety when Ash jumped off the Prism Tower. A lack of these traits in its previous Trainers may be what caused Greninja to leave them.

Greninja has been shown to enjoy battling, and seems to enjoy the opportunity to fight a strong opponent. Once recognizing Sawyer's Grovyle's strength, it developed a rivalry with it. It also seems to relish at both the thought, and the action of defeating a strong opponent, as seen when it grinned before fighting Sawyer's Grovyle, and defeating Grant's Onix.

Greninja's close bond with Ash was also one of his greatest insecurities, as their repeated failure to master the Ash-Greninja form started to weigh heavily on trainer and Pokémon alike. When Ash left Greninja in the Pokémon center after the loss to Wulfric, out of a sense of guilt for Greninja's injuries, a saddened Greninja gave chase as soon as he recovered. It was revealed Greninja also felt responsible for their loss. After fully synchronizing their feelings to save a Spewpa, however, Ash explained to Greninja why he wanted to become a Pokémon Trainer, and that he saw his Pokémon as his closest friends. After that, Greninja and Ash came to fully understand each other.

===Ash-Greninja===
Shortly after evolving into Greninja, through its strong bond with Ash, it can call upon a transformation similar to [[Mega Evolution]], where it takes on an appearance resembling its Trainer while being covered in a water veil. In its final form, the water veil moves from around its body to its back and forms an "X" shape, which resemble wings, then the wings form into a small sphere shape of water on the middle of its back with a light blue ring in the middle of it and it then grows in size until it forms into a giant shuriken made of water. Its full capabilities were unknown, but it appears to give a significant boost in speed and power. In its completed form, it can rival the power of Mega Evolved Pokémon.

This form comes with a side-effect: whenever Greninja takes damage, the pain is shared with Ash in the same location where Greninja was hurt. Ash is also shown to be able to see from Greninja's point of view and will occasionally mimic Greninja's movements. Ash describes it as feeling like he "became" Greninja. It is revealed by Clemont's device that Ash and Greninja share exactly the same heartbeat while Greninja is in the form and that the form can be accessed when Ash and Greninja's feelings synchronize. If the form is pushed too hard, it is possible for Ash to pass out from the resulting exhaustion and pain.

The term '''Ash-Greninja''' (Japanese: '''サトシゲッコウガ''' ''Satoshi-Gekkouga'') was officially coined by Bonnie in ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]''. During the [[XY121|next episode]], Ash and Greninja made amends and were able to trigger the transformation at will. [[XY122|By the time of their rematch against Wulfric]], Ash and Greninja were able to use the form without passing out, and although they still shared each other's pain, it seemed to be more manageable for Ash to handle. [[XY129|During the Lumiose Conference]], it is soon revealed by Professor Sycamore that the transformation Greninja had been going through is known as [[Bond Phenomenon]].

==In the games==
===In the core series===
Ash's Greninja is featured in the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In it, {{ga|Elio}}, the [[player character]], is given a Greninja with Ash as his [[Original Trainer]] to take care of, met by Ash on [[XY002|October 17, 2013]] at level 5 in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. It has Hardy [[nature]], 31 {{IV}} in Attack, Special Attack, Speed and 20 {{IV}} in HP, Defense, Special Defense, 2 {{EV}}s in HP, 128 EVs in Attack, 128 EVs in Special Attack, and 252 EVs in Speed. Completing the demo allows the player to transfer the Greninja to the full game, which resets its nature while keeping its IVs and EVs the same.

Like in the anime, this Greninja can transform into {{form|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}} by defeating a Pokémon in a battle with two or more Pokémon, activating its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}. Internally, Battle Bond Greninja, before transforming, are treated as an alternate form separate from Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}.

* When Greninja evolved from Frogadier in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', it evolved in a similar situation to when it evolved from Froakie in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', with [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sanpei]]'s Greninja already hurt by the enemy and were laying down in defeat.
** The episode in which Frogadier evolved into Greninja aired in Japan almost exactly a year after the episode in which it evolved from Froakie to Frogadier (364 days later, one day shy of being a full year).
* Greninja is Ash's first starter Pokémon that he has {{pkmn2|released}}.
** It is also the first of his released Pokémon to physically appear outside of the [[series]] it was released in.
* Ash's Greninja was featured in a [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]].
* Greninja has been on Ash’s [[party|team]] for 137 episodes, the longest out of his released Pokémon.

'''James's Morpeko''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのモルペコ''' ''Kojirō's Morpeko'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[James]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and his fourteenth overall.

==History==
[[File:James Morpeko Hunger Switch.png|thumb|left|250px|{{a|Hunger Switch}} activated]]
Morpeko debuted in both of its modes in ''[[JN028|Sobbing Sobble!]]'', where it stole {{TRT}}'s food and fled while they were in the [[Galar]] region. It later encountered Team Rocket again and angrily sent them blasting off with {{m|Aura Wheel}} once they admitted they had no more food to give it.

In ''[[JN033|Trade, Borrow, and Steal!]]'', it was revealed to have followed Team Rocket back to their secret hideout. There, it ate the food that Team Rocket had been stockpiling for months, leaving them with nothing to eat. Later, Morpeko was seen eating some of the honey left by [[Kricketina Kylie]] while trying to capture a {{p|Pinsir}}.

In ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check...]]'', Morpeko showed up in Team Rocket's hideout, listening in on the conversation between [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.

In ''[[JN047|Crowning the Chow Crusher!]]'', Team Rocket entered Morpeko in the [[Vermilion City]] [[Pokémon Grand Eating Contest]]. It was forced to fast for several days in order to fuel its hunger and motivation to eat. In the finals, Morpeko faced off against [[Goh]]'s {{p|Skwovet}}, but eventually returned to its Full Belly Mode after satisfying its hunger. Team Rocket tried forcing it to eat more food, only for Morpeko to angrily send them blasting off with Aura Wheel. Afterward, Goh's Skwovet managed to surpass Morpeko's score after evolving into a {{TP|Goh|Greedent}}, winning the competition.

In [[JN067]], Morpeko had once again eaten all of Team Rocket's food supplies, so they decided to try stealing electricity from houses around Vermilion City and feeding Morpeko with it instead. However, it turned out that Morpeko's appetite is caused by it creating electricity, rendering the trio's attempted solution to their problem naught.

In [[JN070]], Team Rocket attempted to get rid of Morpeko by having [[Goh]] catch it. During its absence, James missed Morpeko, having grown fond of it, and after being reunited with Morpeko and seeing it battle, James opted to catch it.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Team Rocket Disguise JN047.png|thumb|250px|Morpeko and {{TRT}}]]
Morpeko is a greedy {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has caused trouble for Team Rocket multiple times with its raids on their food supply. If it is refused the food that it craves, it changes from its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Morpeko|Full Belly Mode}} to its Hangry Mode, becoming aggressive and more voracious.

In its Hangry Mode, Morpeko is quite violent, both with Team Rocket as well as with Pokémon from other Trainers. Immediately upon reverting to Full Belly Mode, Morpeko is shown to be somewhat docile, especially after having a particularly satisfying meal. However, it still has a short temper, and will lash out at anything that bothers it, as shown in ''[[JN047|Crowning the Chow Crusher!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, Morpeko is the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon owned by either Jessie or James.
* Morpeko is the first of James's Pokémon to use {{a|Hunger Switch|its}} [[Ability]].
* It took 42 episodes from Morpeko's debut to its capture, the longest of any of the {{TRT}} trio's Pokémon.
** In addition, it took the longest time for James to obtain a new Pokémon at 70 episodes.

'''Ash's Riolu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリオル''' ''Satoshi's Riolu'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[new series]], and his fifty-fifth overall.

==History==
[[File:Ash Riolu Egg.png|left|250px|thumb|Riolu's Egg]]
Riolu's {{pkmn|Egg}} originally came from the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Despite being passed from hand to hand for a long time, it seemed unwilling to hatch. Eventually, it came under the care of the [[Vermilion City]] [[Nurse Joy]].

When {{Ash}} battled [[Hashiba]], the Egg sensed the strong [[Aura]] emitted by him and reacted to it. Ash also felt the Egg calling for him. While {{AP|Pikachu}} was being treated at the [[Pokémon Center]], Ash followed the sensation to the room where the Egg was being kept. As the Egg reacted to Ash's presence by rolling towards him, Nurse Joy decided to entrust it to him.

The following night, the Egg hatched into a Riolu, who instantly fled from [[Sakuragi Institute]] and started attacking various [[wild Pokémon]], although all of them were too strong for it. Ash finally caught up to Riolu as it was getting attacked by an {{p|Onix}}. During the battle against the [[Pokémon category|Rock Snake Pokémon]], Riolu was impressed by Ash's Aura. With both Pikachu and Riolu attacking it, Ash was soon able to drive the Onix away, and then took Riolu to the Pokémon Center to be healed. After Nurse Joy had treated Riolu, it expressed willingness to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, which he agreed to.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Riolu.png|thumb|left|250px|Riolu and Ash]]
Riolu, like every other member of its species, responds to [[Aura]], and, as such, developed a subconscious connection to Ash before it even hatched. After hatching, it displayed a very headstrong personality, attacking [[wild Pokémon]] and even Ash, as if it had something to prove. Despite being a [[baby Pokémon]], it displays dislike towards being cared for and generally seems very independent.

==Trivia==
[[File:GO Egg 10 km.png|thumb|150px|A 10km Egg in {{g|GO}}]]
* Riolu is Ash's first:
** Capture of a [[Generation IV]] Pokémon since {{AP|Gible}}, 483 episodes earlier.
** [[Baby Pokémon]].
** Pokémon in the [[new series]] to not be obtained in its fully evolved form.
**Pure [[Fighting type]] captured since [[Primeape]].
* Riolu's Egg is a reference to the 10km Egg in [[Pokémon GO]]. At the time [[SS021]] aired in Japan, Riolu could be [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO|found]] in these Eggs.

The '''seventh generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第七世代|だいななせだい}}}}''' ''seventh generation'') of [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn|games}} is the seventh installment of the Pokémon video game series starting with {{g|Sun and Moon}}, continuing with {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and ending with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Unlike previous generations, the core series games of the seventh generation were released on two different Nintendo platforms, with the Alola-based games released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and the Kanto-based games released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It is the last generation released on the 3DS and the first one on the Switch.

==History==
The seventh generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Sun and Moon}} on February 27, 2016, the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]]. These are the first pair of games in the generation and were released worldwide on November 18, 2016, except in Europe where they were released on November 23, 2016.

The second pair of games in this generation, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, were revealed in a Pokémon Direct held on June 6, 2017. The games take place in Alola once again, but with a new story and includes Pokémon that cannot be found in Sun and Moon. The games were released worldwide on November 17, 2017.

The third and final pair of games, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], were revealed at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2018 Video Game Press Conference]] held on May 29, 2018. The games take place in [[Kanto]] and are inspired by {{game|Yellow}}. The games were released worldwide on November 16, 2018.

Some of the Generation VII games can communicate with games from previous generations. Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon can communicate with the application [[Pokémon Bank]], via which Pokémon from the [[Generation VI]] games can be received. By way of [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon Bank can also receive Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation I]] games, from which they can be moved to Generation VII games. Combined with other [[Template:Inter-gen transfer|inter-generational transfer]] methods, this makes the seventh generation the first generation since Generation II able to communicate with all previous games.

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] can communicate with the mobile app [[Pokémon GO]] and is able to receive Pokémon that originate from the app and can send a special Pokémon to Pokémon GO. It currently cannot communicate with any other [[core series]] games.

==In-game continuity==
{{spoilers}}
{{g|Sun and Moon}} occurs two years after the events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Various characters from previous generations such as: [[Sina]], [[Dexio]], [[Looker]], {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}, [[Colress]], {{ga|Red}}, and {{ga|Blue}} make appearances, with many of them looking significantly older than in previous games.

During the postgame missions in Sun and Moon, it is revealed that Anabel fell into an Ultra Wormhole prior to the events of Sun and Moon and became a {{DL|Ultra Wormhole|Fallers|Faller}}, which are individuals who have passed through Ultra Wormholes, and is hinted to be the same Anabel that appeared in [[Pokémon Emerald]]'s {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}, however, she suffers from {{wp|retrograde amnesia}}. [[Professor Burnet]] who originated from the side game, [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], is revealed to be living in Alola and is researching the phenomena surrounding Ultra Wormholes.

{{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} are set in an alternate universe similar, but slightly different, to Sun and Moon. The events of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon follow those of the first games, but slightly diverge in its details. Some of the worlds that the player may visit through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] are hinted at being alternate versions of Alola, such as: the [[Ultra Space Wilds]], and the [[Ultra Ruin]], the latter being a world that is thoroughly hinted at being a destroyed [[Hau'oli City]] from an alternate dimension. In [[Episode RR]], [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] takes over the [[Festival Plaza]] and [[Aether Paradise]] in hopes of taking over other worlds using the Ultra Wormhole technology developed by the Aether Foundation. Team Rainbow Rocket is later revealed to be composed of the [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] leaders from previous generations, with [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s leaders, [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], appearing as they did in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It is also revealed that each of the villainous team leaders are from alternate universes where they were able to successfully achieve their plans; further cementing the concept of alternate universes. Colress plays a major role in Episode RR by sending all of the villainous leaders back to their original dimensions; when Ghetsis is being confronted, he and Colress recognize each other, despite being from alternate dimensions, showing that Colress had involvements with [[Team Plasma]] in both universes.

{{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} seems to take place in an alternate universe from {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as Team Rocket was never disbanded, and Red and Blue have already defeated the [[Indigo League]] and are now renowned Pokémon Trainers. Because of this, the player characters are now composed of [[Chase]] and [[Elaine]] with Blue's role as rival being replaced by [[Trace]].

Since Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are remakes of {{game|Yellow}}, characters from the anime like [[Jessie]] and [[James]] make appearances and similar events from the anime occur.
The games seem to occur less than five years before Sun and Moon, as [[Mina]], albeit slightly younger, makes an appearance in [[Vermilion City]]. Despite this, the overall continuity between these games and those that precede them is not clear.

====Trial Captains and Totem Pokémon====
In Sun and Moon, there are seven [[Trial Captain]]s and eight [[Totem Pokémon]], Pokémon which are bigger than the rest of their species and have "auras" that increase one of their [[Statistic|stats]] at the beginning of battle.

==Alola thematic motif==
The seventh generation focuses on themes of nature, alternate dimensions, tradition, and relationships. This generation's starter Pokémon and main legendary trio designs and inspirations are heavily based on alchemical symbols and imagery. {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, and {{p|Popplio}}'s designs are based on the alchemical symbols for salt (body), sulfur (spirit), and mercury (mind), respectively and the later evolutions also seeming to based on symbol variants or other alchemical symbols. The legendary trio is mainly based on celestial bodies while taking influences from alchemical imagery, specifically the Azoth Mandala: {{p|Solgaleo}} takes inspiration from the {{wp|Suns in alchemy|alchemical lion}} and the Sun, which represents "anima" or "soul"; {{p|Lunala}} is based on the Moon, which represents "spiritus" or "spirit"; and {{p|Necrozma}} is based on the stars and prisms, which represents "corpus" or "body". The [[Aether Foundation]]'s name is also derived from the fifth alchemical element, {{wp|Aether (classical element)|aether}}.

Throughout the games, there is a major focus on relationships. First and foremost, [[Z-Moves]] are said to be the physical manifestation of the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, in a similar vein to [[Mega Evolution]]. The storylines of the Alolan games also focus various characters whose motives and story arcs revolve around family- or relationship-based issues.

'''''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　サン{{tt|＆|アンド}}ムーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon''), referred to by fans as the '''''Sun & Moon'' series''', is the sixth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows the {{series|XY}} and will be succeeded by the [[new series]]. It ran from November 17, 2016 to November 3, 2019 in Japan and premiered on May 12, 2017 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in the United States on December 5, 2016.

[[Ash Ketchum]] heads off to a new region, [[Alola]], wearing a new set of clothes with his partner {{AP|Pikachu}}. Unlike the five previous series, however, Ash doesn't travel through the region. Instead, he becomes a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], where he meets his new {{ashfr|classmates}} {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Kiawe}}. Ash receives a [[Z-Ring]] and takes on the [[island challenge]] to get new [[Z-Crystal]]s and qualify as a [[Z-Move]] user. The ''Sun & Moon'' series is notable for Ash's friends not being present in every episode. Also, characters are usually seen keeping their Pokémon [[Walking Pokémon|out of their Poké Balls]] in this series.

A new art style is implemented for the third series in a row, this time more drastically than the series that preceded it. With this new style, characters are drawn with a much more exaggerated, rounded, "cartoony" style. Despite the new style, ''Sun & Moon'' took a more mature approach to storytelling. The subject of death was dealt with directly, with some Pokémon being seen dying, as well as showing a main character dealing with the death of a parent (as opposed to the usual instance of absent parents almost never being mentioned). The show also had a large reduction in the amount of "[[Character of the day|characters of the day]]", with many apparent such characters reappearing commonly after their debuts.

Episodes in the ''Sun & Moon'' series are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''SM''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Sun & Moon series episodes|list of ''Sun & Moon'' series episodes]].

==Blurb==
New adventure for Ash and Pikachu has started!

This new adventure takes place in the Alola region, full of nature. What awaits Ash and Pikachu in Alola, surrounded by an endless expanse of blue sky and seas? New Pokémon, new frinds, and new experiences… An adventure filled with aell sorts of new things begins at last! Ash also has a new look. Stay tuned for new adventures!

Let’s go! Full power! On a great adventure!!

==Dub seasons==
Like the ''XY'' series, when the ''Sun & Moon'' series came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was localized as a whole. So far, while it is still divided into three seasons, they share a common title:
* [[S20|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]] ([[SM001]] - [[SM043]])
* [[S21|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures]] ([[SM044]] - [[SM063]], [[SM065]] - [[SM092]])
* [[S22|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Legends]] ([[SM093]] - present)

==Movies==
{{main|Pokémon movie#Sun & Moon series|Pokémon movie → Sun & Moon series}}
* ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''
* ''[[M21|Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us]]''
* ''[[M22|Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''

==Trivia==
* This is the only series in which:
** {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Ash|Ash's outfit}} doesn't consist of a jacket, hoodie, or gloves.
** {{Ash}} doesn't challenge [[Gym]]s for [[Badge]]s.
** Ash doesn't have a [[Gym Leader]] as a {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
** Ash keeps his [[Pokédex]] outside of his pocket.

** Not all of Ash's friends appear in every episode despite being a main character.
** All of Ash's friends own a walking Pokémon.
** Ash does not catch all of his [[starter Pokémon]] consecutively (of the series in which he catches more than one).
** [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] are not distributed by city, with only one Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny per island instead.
** None of its {{pkmn|movie}}s ([[M20]], [[M21]], and [[M22]]) take place in the same timeline or region as that of the {{pkmn|anime}}, or introduce any Pokémon from a future [[generation]].
** Other main characters besides Ash, members of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]], and a [[Pokémon Professor]] participate as competitors in a regional {{pkmn|League Conference}}.
** Ash is the winner of a {{pkmn|League Conference}}.
** Every Pokémon introduced in the concurrent generation has made an appearance in the series they were introduced in the main series of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
**One of Ash's Pokémon evolves off screen.
** All of Ash's Pokemon he had on hand besides Pikachu are left somewhere other than Professor Oak's Lab.
* Out of all the series, this has the most:
** Human protagonists, with a total of six.
** Walking Pokémon, with a total of eight.
** [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime‎|Recurring wild Pokémon‎]], with a total of 28.
* This is the first series:
** Where Ash has returned to [[Kanto]] in the middle of a regional {{pkmn|journey}}.
** To feature in-person appearances by {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Jigglypuff}} since the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and {{an|Brock}} since the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

** To contain more episodes than the previous series.
** In which a {{TP|Lana|starter Pokémon|Primarina}} owned by one of {{an|Lana|Ash's friends}} fully evolves before any of the starter Pokémon owned by Ash from the same [[region]].
* This is the last series:
** To feature [[Unshō Ishizuka]] prior to his death in August 2018.
** To have [[Shinji Miyazaki]] as the composer for the background music.
* Like the ''Advanced Generation'' series, one of Misty's reappearance arcs takes place in [[Kanto]] and one in the region that is the series' current setting.
* Two of Ash's Pokémon captures in this series marked three notable firsts for his team (not counting temporary captures):
** He caught his first [[gender]]less Pokémon with his {{AP|Poipole}}.
** He caught his first {{type|Steel}} Pokémon with his {{AP|Meltan}}.
** He caught his first [[Mythical Pokémon]], also his Meltan.
* Ash took longer to catch a full team of six Pokémon in this series than any other. He caught his sixth Pokémon when his previously released {{AP|Naganadel}}, then a {{p|Poipole}}, rejoined his team in [[SM141]].
* This is the last series to air in the {{wp|Heisei}} period, and the first series to air in the {{wp|Reiwa}} period.

==Events==
The March 2018 edition of [[CoroCoro]] revealed that the movie's special distribution to [[Generation VII]] games in Japan would be a {{p|Lugia}}. It is at level 100 and possesses its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Multiscale}}, as well as the moves {{m|Aeroblast}}, {{m|Defog}}, {{m|Tailwind}} and {{m|Hurricane}}, the latter of which it cannot normally learn. It is nicknamed "Wind Lugia" in reference to its role in the Wind Festival in the film. It was distributed via serial codes that were distributed from April 13 to July 12, 2018 by pre-booking tickets to the movie, with the codes themselves being redeemable until September 30.

The June 2018 edition of CoroCoro revealed that {{p|Zeraora}} would be distributed at showings of the movie from July 13 to September 30. It is at level 50 and possesses the moves {{m|Plasma Fists}}, {{m|Thunder Punch}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, and {{m|Thunder}}, and holds an [[Air Balloon]]. Its stats match the Zeraora shown in a special Battle Video in April. A disc for the [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] arcade game was also distributed.

==Trivia==
* This movie was released between [[SM081]] and [[SM082]] in Japan.
* {{Ash}} is seen using the fewest Pokémon in this movie than in any other, with Pikachu being his only known Pokémon under his ownership.
* This is the first Pokémon movie where:
** It is released on a Friday in Japan; all previous movies were released on a Saturday.
** [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] is not the director.
** Ash is not seen to be [[Ash's friends|traveling with anyone]].
** Ash is seen owning a Pokémon (temporary or main) that he didn't own in the main series.
** Any [[talking Pokémon]] other than {{MTR}} are not featured since ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

===Errors===
* When {{OBP|Lisa|M21}} is watching {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} chase a {{p|Tyranitar}} during the [[Get Race]], the shell on a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Squirtle}} is miscolored the same blue as the rest of its body.

'''Mimikyu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミミッキュ''' ''Mimikkyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Mimikyu|changes appearance}} when hit by an attack.

==Biology==
Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under a rag. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body appears to be visible under the hem of its rag. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a {{p|Pikachu}}. The cloth is yellow with black tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backwards, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within.

A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. Since this Pokémon is weakened by sunlight, it is rumored that the veil is used for protection. It is believed that seeing its true form will cause a mysterious illness or even a painful death. Mimikyu's disguise is modeled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise, thinking that its disguise would allow it to make friends with people.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/</ref> If its rag is damaged or its neck is broken, it spends all night patching it, and seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Mimikyu finds repairing its neck difficult, often causing it to cry inside. Mimikyu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Mimikyu]]====
Mimikyu debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. Though {{Ash}} tried to catch it, it decided to side with {{TRT}} instead. Mimikyu was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Jessie]] in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''.

====Other====
[[Acerola]]'s {{Shiny}} Mimikyu, [[nickname]]d "Mimi-tan", first appeared in [[SM073]]. Unlike regular Mimikyu, Mimi-tan is an actual ghost of a deceased Mimikyu, and thus can float in the air and pass through solid objects. It appeared again in [[SM074]] through [[SM077]]. In all of its appearnces, it was often seen outside its [[Poké Ball]].
===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Mimikyu appeared in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]''.

After befriending the Totem, Sun {{pkmn2|caught}} it and gave it the [[nickname]] Franc.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Mimikyu.
* On October 20, 2016, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Mimikyu-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Mimikyu's Song]].
* According to an official piece of merchandise, Mimikyu's height does not count the head of the disguise, only the body.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokeshopperVGC/status/956854089907924993 @PokeshopperVGC on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Mimikyu's disguise is based on {{p|Pikachu}}. The execution of the disguise is similar to ghost costumes made from bedsheets. Mimikyu also shares similarities with the {{wp|Bugul Noz}}, a {{wp|Breton mythology|Breton myth}} about a kind and gentle fairy spirit whose horrifying ugliness causes it to be perpetually alone.

====Name origin====

Mimikyu and Mimikkyu may be derived from ''mimic'' and ''Q'', ''you'', or きゅうきゅう ''kyūkyū'' (onomatopoeia for squeaking, similar to {{p|Pikachu}}).

Walking Pokémon

2018-07-16T13:51:54Z

Rockruff16: Update on Mimi-tan, and M21 Pokemon. Plus, Old Man's Chatot was unessescary

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon captured by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an [[Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu]] becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route.

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{OBP|Pearl|item}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around will return in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, such as {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, and {{p|Onix}}. In addition, their [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them.

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Since then, Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s Clone Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, most of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have walking Pokémon, including [[Snowy]], [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Mallow's Steenee]], and [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]].

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans. As seen in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Meowth resists attempts to be caught in a Poké Ball.

List of recurring wild Pokémon in the animated series

2017-04-06T12:01:25Z

Rockruff16: Stoutland's possibly dead and therefore its loaction is now unknown

{{split|their own articles}}
Several [[wild Pokémon]] had a recurring role in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==[[Original series]]==
===Fearow===
[[File:Ash Fearow.png|thumb|200px|Fearow]]
{{main|Ash's Fearow#In the anime|Ash's Fearow}}

{{p|Fearow}}'s first appearance was the [[EP001|first episode of the anime]], where it appeared as a {{p|Spearow}}. It attacked Ash and Pikachu after Ash threw a rock at it. Its second and final appearance was in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', where it was shown to have evolved into a Fearow. It battled against Ash's Pidgeotto, who soon evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}, Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks. It was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.
{{-}}

===Ho-Oh===
[[File:Ho-Oh M20.png|thumb|200px|Ho-Oh]]
{{main|Ho-Oh (anime)}}
The second recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made three appearances.

After Ash and Pikachu were exhausted from fighting a flock of Spearow, Ash saw a glimpse of {{p|Ho-Oh}} flying over a rainbow. The Pokédex couldn't record the data of Ho-Oh as it was unknown at the time. Since then, it would often fly around.
{{-}}

===Haunter===
[[File:Sabrina Haunter.png|thumb|200px|Haunter]]
{{main|Sabrina's Haunter}}
{{p|Haunter}} first appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. After {{Ash}} befriended it, he attempted to use it to battle [[Sabrina]], but Haunter decided to goof off. At the end of ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'', {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} decided to stay with Sabrina.
{{-}}

===Jigglypuff===
[[File:Jigglypuff anime.png|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff]]
{{main|Jigglypuff (anime)}}
The fourth recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made the most appearances, is {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. At first it couldn't {{m|sing}}, but that changed once {{an|Brock}} gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Jigglypuff followed the gang throughout their journey until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. It set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker.
{{-}}

===Slowking===
[[File:Slowking M02.png|thumb|250px|Slowking]]
{{main|Slowking (M02)}}
This {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Slowking}} lived on [[Shamouti Island]], and was the guardian of the shrine located on the island. He gave {{Ash}} advice on where to find the Ice, Thunder and Fire Spheres. He later praised the [[Team Rocket trio]], upset that no-one saw them being heroes, telling them that their heroic actions [[Breaking the fourth wall|did not go unnoticed]].

Slowking reappeared in [[Slowking's Day]].

{{p|Suicune}} first appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as a form of energy. When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} were lost in a forest, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} sensed something and led the trio to a lake. Suicune was standing on a small island in the lake. At first, Ash did not understand what Pokémon it was and wanted to capture it. However, Suicune ran away towards the direction of [[New Bark Town]] as soon as Ash made an attempt to {{pkmn|battle}} it. Ash and group chased it to New Bark from where they began their [[Johto]] [[S03|adventure]].

Suicune appeared once again in the episode, ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. After {{TRT}} had removed a [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bell]] from {{Ci|Ecruteak}}'s [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon invaded the city. They wrapped [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in a web by using {{m|String Shot}} and blocked off the entry to the Tin Tower. The bugs even attacked Ash, Misty, Brock, [[Morty]] and [[Eusine]] when they wanted to go to the Tin Tower. Suicune appeared, calming down the Pokémon and freeing the Rocket trio as well as the city from the webs of the bugs. Eusine wanted to capture Suicune and sent out his {{p|Alakazam}} to battle it. Alakazam used a {{m|Disable}}, but Suicune easily blocked it with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. It then used {{m|Roar}} to send Alakazam back into its [[Poké Ball]] and fled from the place before Eusine could even react.

====Personality and characteristics====
Suicune was a calm Pokémon as shown as it didn't get angry at anyone who tried to battle or capture it.

The {{p|Pichu}} Brothers were first introduced in the third mini-movie ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'', where they met [[Ash's Pikachu]] who was lost after falling off a nearby building, in which {{Ash}} was planning a party celebrating the anniversary of [[EP001|when he and Pikachu first met]].

{{p|Lugia}} first appeared in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]'' as a silhouette swimming underwater. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} who were clinging on their Pokémon, as they were being dragged into a whirlpool (after another mishap involving {{TRT}}), when it suddenly disappeared, which was followed by Lugia's mysterious silhouette and its strange call.

In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', it appeared when [[Oliver]], Ash, and his friends were playing with the child Lugia, {{jo|Silver}}. Lugia and Silver played with the group underwater.

In ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Lugia looked for the child after it was told that it was kidnapped by some members of Team Rocket. Lugia became enraged after finding out what happened until Ash mentioned that the group will find and rescue Silver. When Lugia found Silver in a cage, it went for the cage. Despite the group warning Lugia not to get closer, the parent Lugia was caught alongside its child.

In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Lugia was taken captive to Team Rocket's base. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} attempt to free it until they got interrupted by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. Their battle accidentally freed the adult Lugia and it went on a rampage until it reunited with Silver. Although doing so, pieces of the ceiling were falling down and Lugia protected Silver and the group with {{m|Safeguard}}. After escaping from Team Rocket's base, Silver stayed with the adult Lugia with Oliver saying goodbye to them both.

====Personality and characteristics====
Lugia is very protective of its {{jo|Silver|child}}, as shown when people it hasn't seen before were near it. Following Team Rocket's attack, Lugia and Silver left, with Silver having to separate from Oliver.

{{p|Wynaut}} is a wild Pokémon who followed {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} around in [[Blackthorn City]]. Even though it followed them everywhere, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Noctowl}} were the only ones to see it.

Wynaut first appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'' where it was briefly seen taking some food from Team Rocket. Wobbuffet only saw it doing so.

In ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'', Wynaut popped its arm out of the bushes while Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Clair]], and {{jo|Liza}} returned to the [[Blackthorn Gym]] for Ash's Gym battle.

While [[Charla]] was about to eat some {{pkmn|food}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Liza provided to her, Wynaut quickly snatched the food from Charla, unbeknownst to her.

In ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. While Team Rocket were spying on Ash and his friends, Wynaut sneaked over and took their snack, putting the blame on Wobbuffet. Wynaut went for Ash's [[Badge]]s but Wobbuffet caught Wynaut this time. However, despite doing so, it was unable to tell Team Rocket that Wynaut took the badges. Later, Wynaut met Ash's Bayleef and Noctowl while they were searching for Ash's stolen badges. After finishing the berries Wynaut found, Wynaut went back inside a bush. When Team Rocket attacked {{p|Wooper}} and Bayleef, Wynaut jumped out and {{m|counter}}ed {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}} and went back hiding in the bush. After defeating Team Rocket, Wynaut found the Rising Badge that Ash needed and gave it to Bayleef secretly. Wynaut left before Ash found out.

====Personality and characteristics====
Wynaut had a tendency to pop up out of nowhere at random moments, especially in its final appearance ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]'' when it popped out of nowhere and took the case containing Ash's badges (which Team Rocket had stolen from him) away from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} who was guarding the case while its teammates were away. Wobbuffet was very confused and startled to see Wynaut, and panicked even more once Wynaut took the case away just as its teammates came back.

Later on in the episode after the case got open and the badges went all over the place, Ash and his friends as well as {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Bayleef}} searched everywhere for the badges. At first they found seven of them, and then Noctowl and Bayleef set out to find the one they had missed, and that's when they saw Wynaut who gave the badge to them, and then Bayleef called to Ash and gave him back his badge and he thanked her and asked her if it had just been lying on the ground. Bayleef tried to explain to her trainer about Wynaut, but it was already gone, causing both Bayleef and Noctowl to become confused, so Wynaut has a tendency to appear out of nowhere when a Pokémon is nearby and then disappear when people come around, showing that there's a possibility Wynaut either doesn't want to be seen by humans, or just likes playing a little joke leaving those who did see it very confused.

{{p|Loudred}} first appeared in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', where it ran by and stepped on [[Jessie]] when she was climbing up to the next floor or [[Granite Cave]]. In the [[AG023|next episode]], Jessie fell on top of it while it was sleeping when she hastily ran to catch [[Ash's Corphish|whatever was attacking]] {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Loudred then sent her, [[James]] and {{MTR}} flying with an extremely loud {{m|Screech}} attack.

It reappeared again in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', where it was pinched on the ear by Ash's Corphish. Loudred ran around in pain, screeching, causing the {{TP|May|Silcoon}} to fall from {{an|May}}'s arms and roll off, separating it and the other Pokémon that went to its rescue to become separated from their Trainers. Loudred's last appearance was in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' where [[Professor Birch]] fell from a {{p|Wingull}}'s nest on to it, waking it from its sleep. Loudred screeched at him before leaving.

It appeared in a flashback in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear!]]''.

====Personality and characteristics====
Loudred does not like to be disturbed while it's sleeping, which it does most of the time, and this could mean that it's a lazy Pokémon. If it gets disturbed while it's sleeping, it'll become very angry and chase after the person or people that woke it up.

{{p|Spoink}} first appeared in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. It had lost its pearl, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were trying to find it. As it turns out, {{TRT}} had found it and had traded it to the [[Magikarp salesman]] for a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}}. After learning this, the travelers confronted the salesman and demanded he give back the pearl. Team Rocket also demanded he give them the pearl back as well. In the ensuing battle, Spoink's pearl was returned and Team Rocket was sent blasting off.

It made its second, and final, appearance in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. Like the previous time, it had lost its pearl. This time, it was lost in the ocean without any way of retrieving it. But the travelers learned from a scientist named [[Isaiah]] that Spoink's pearls come from {{p|Clamperl}}. Eventually, they found a Clamperl who was willing to give its pearl to Spoink. They said goodbye to Spoink, and it hasn't been seen since that episode.

====Personality and characteristics====
After losing its pearl, Spoink has a habit of using {{m|Psychic}} to move any round objects (and after a while, even not-so-round objects) on its head, including an angry {{p|Electrode}}, much to the dismay of those around it. It developed a friendship with [[Ash's Torkoal]] during its adventures with the group.

Groudon nullified Kyogre's Drizzle with its own Ability, {{a|Drought}}. Groudon fought Kyogre in the ocean. Because of Brock and May's interference with Kyogre, Groudon was able to defeat Kyogre with {{m|Solar Beam}}. After the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky, Groudon went back in a volcano.

{{p|Kyogre}} first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' sleeping in the containment room of Team Magma's ship. It was freed by [[Shelly]] who infiltrated the ship in disguise as a member of Team Magma. After being freed, Kyogre escaped Team Magma's ship and destroyed it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Kyogre was later seen sleeping in its containment chamber on Team Aqua's ship. Kyogre once again escaped after {{TRT}} failed to catch it with their net electrified.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Kyogre was out in the ocean near [[Monsu Island]] where its appearance caused a {{a|Drizzle|heavy downpour}} and strong winds. Using the Red Orb, Archie took control of Kyogre where he had it attack [[Lance's Dragonite]] which Dragonite narrowly dodged the attack and then fought [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]]. After Groudon appeared which nullified the weather, Kyogre fought Groudon. Because of the interference with [[May's Beautifly]] and [[Brock's Mudkip]], Kyogre was defeated by Groudon's {{m|Solar Beam}} which separated the orbs from Archie and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Despite Archie being saved by Dragonite, Pikachu fell in the ocean and Kyogre, released from the Red Orb, swam underwater to rescue both {{Ash}} and Pikachu. Kyogre resurfaced with the two and both the Blue and Red Orbs went in the sky. With that done, Kyogre returned deep in the ocean.

====Personality and characteristics====
Kyogre's personality is unknown as it was only seen under the control of Archie. However, it is shown to be immensely powerful, causing large storms and almost able to drown [[Monsu Island]]. However, outside of Archie's control, it was shown to save Ash and Pikachu from drowning, which may suggest that it is somewhat helpful.

{{p|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'' where it emerged from a portal in the sky. As [[Max]] saw Deoxys, he experienced a vision as soon as it went back into a portal.

Later, [[Solana]] investigated a cave as it was where the source of the geomagnetic disturbances that have been going on. She went on her own originally but ended up allowing {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to tag along since she spotted [[Max]] behind some bushes. At the end of the cave, Deoxys emerged from a portal above a meteorite. It ended up battling Ash, his friends, and Solana. Solana tried capturing Deoxys with her [[Capture Styler]] but failed as it had to be in Normal Forme. Everyone finds out from {{MTR}} that Deoxys was in pain. Max climbed up the meteorite with Meowth and Deoxys up there. Deoxys creates a {{m|Safeguard}} around it, Max, and Meowth. Max found out that during the space flight, it was cold and scared. Deoxys then took the two to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|its world]].

In ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'', Deoxys continued telling Max its story. After Ash and the others returned to the cave, Deoxys came out of its world. Everyone evacuated the cave as the meteorite was overloading with energy while Deoxys went back in its dimension. Deoxys emerged from the portal with Max and Meowth still inside. The group had another battle with it in an attempt for Solana to recatch it. During the battle, Meowth and Max were able to escape the alternate dimension. {{AP|Sceptile}} battled Deoxys to get it to change into Normal Forme. Solana used her Capture Styler to capture Deoxys as it was in its Normal Forme and succeeded. Solana has it use {{m|Recover}} to heal itself and then protects the group from the meteorite's strong blast of energy. With the disturbance gone, Deoxys leaves, hoping to visit the planet even more.

====Personality and characteristics====
As stated before, this Marill is very similar to the recurring Jigglypuff as it loves to sing for an audience and gets furious when it's audience falls asleep on it.

{{p|Hippopotas}} made his first appearance in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', where {{Ash}}, with the aid of {{ashfr}}, rescued the Pokémon from being trapped upon a high ledge. It was then discovered that Hippopotas was lost and he was separated from the rest of the Hippopotas and Hippowdon. Ash and friends helped Hippopotas find his way back to the herd. Like a few other Pokémon, Hippopotas seemed to like to be carried on top of Ash's head.

[[Jessie]] had trouble saying the Pokémon's species name; she and her {{TRT}} fellows attempted to steal Hippopotas for their boss.

Hippopotas's second and final appearance was in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' with his father {{p|Hippowdon}}. In this episode, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] also wanted to kidnap the Hippo Pokémon but they failed.

====Personality and characteristics====
Hippopotas was shown to be extremely friendly and trusting of Ash and his friends when he first appeared in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'', and the reason is because Ash saved Hippopotas when he was stuck on the ledge of a cliff and then gave Hippopotas some food that he had been trying to reach. After Hippopotas was safe and full Ash and his friends continued on, but stopped when they noticed Hippopotas had been following them, and both Brock and Dawn noticed Hippopotas had taken a liking to Ash. In Hippopotas' next appearance ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]'' Hippopotas met up with Ash and his friends once again after getting separated from his friend {{p|Hippowdon}} and he was really sad showing that Hippopotas loves hanging out with his friends.

Azelf appeared in spirit form (much like {{p|Mesprit}} did to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'') to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.

Azelf first appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it was the first to be captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]]. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Azelf also appeared in [[PK21]] with Uxie and Mesprit, serving {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends some apples.

Uxie's "soul" appeared to Brock, much in the same way those of {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appeared to {{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}}, in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''

Uxie appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it, along with Mesprit, came to [[Lake Valor]] after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]], but before it was captured, it used {{m|Future Sight}} with Mesprit, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Ash's Gliscor]], it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

{{p|Reshiram}} first appeared in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'' in a flashback {{an|N}} had during his time in his [[N's Castle|castle]]. It flew away when the castle was on fire.

It reappeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' in another flashback while N revealed that he was once a member of [[Team Plasma]]. It was revealed that Reshiram was responsible for burning the castle.

Reshiram made another flashback appearance in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.

Reshiram was revived from the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. Following the revival, [[Colress]] zapped it with his machine and [[Ghetsis]] took control of it. Because of {{AP|Pikachu}} and Reshiram rebelling against the machine, Colress and Ghetsis lost control of Reshiram. Before Reshiram flies off, N stopped it and said that he always wanted to meet it. N asks Reshiram how it felt when it saw everyone battle against evil in the ruins and silently responded to him by looking at him.

N also asked if it could believe in humans as they believe in Pokémon. The world of truth that Reshiram wants and the ideal world for humans. N tells Reshiram that just like it, he will keep fighting for the ideal world that everyone can live in. Reshiram accepted N's request and flew away peacefully into the sky.

====Personality and characteristics====
Reshiram's personality is largely a mystery as it was only seen in flashbacks and under the control of Ghetsis. However, it appears to have a close association with N, and it is able to effectively commune with him.

{{p|Malamar}} first appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. Unlike most [[wild Pokémon]], this Malamar is an independently evil being who conspires to change the face of [[Pokémon world|the world]]. It hypnotized an [[Officer Jenny]] who went to investigate at a radio observatory. As a result, she became Madame X. Together, the two went to a dark cave where {{TRT}} were and hypnotized them, save for {{MTR}}, who quickly slashed up his own face with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. With Team Rocket in tow, Malamar found the whereabouts of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} by a tree. It took Pikachu with them and forced him to be under their control. By the time Ash, his friends, and Meowth arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar cruelly took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. The [[List of Clemont's inventions|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashes into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it hypnotized. Officer Jenny went back to normal and explained what happened. Malamar revealed that it tricked them into believing that Madame X was a real person and it was using her as its pawn. Malamar also revealed that Madame X's goal of taking over the world was a lie and hopes to reconstruct the world using a mind control machine. Angered at Malamar's lies and dishonesty, Ash, Officer Jenny, and the gang went after Malamar who led them to a room containing the system of great significance. Since everyone saw what Malamar was doing, it destroyed the weapon that it was building and fled.
[[File:Malamar XY054.png|thumb|250px|left|Malamar with its two fellow Malamar]]
Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'' where it had recruited two other Malamar in a plan to distort the world using energy crystals. Malamar and the other two hypnotized the top scientists in Kalos to build the energy crystals. Afterwards, they stole three delivery trucks and recklessly drove them with the crystals to the [[Grace Tower]] to get their plan in action. When Team Rocket went to the top of Grace Tower, the Malamar trio spotted them after {{TP|James|Inkay}} became furious at the one particular Malamar for what it did to them previously. Malamar was unable to find the Team Rocket trio after they fled.

Malamar discovered the trio along with Ash, his friends, and the Officer Jenny who it had hypnotized before. The three of them caught Ash, his friends (with the exception of Clemont), [[Jessie]], and Officer Jenny by keeping them frozen in the air through {{m|Psychic}}, leaving Clemont, Meowth, [[James]] and Inkay to save the day. Malamar and the other two were defeated after being subdued by James's Inkay, a group of good Malamar and other wild Inkay who James and Clemont had brought to help, their crystals were deactivated by [[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]. Despite their defeat and Officer Jenny pointing it out, all of the crystals combined into one and the evil Malamar went in them as a method of escape, allowing all three of them to avoid capture and thus destroying any evidence of their plan. Before they left, they claimed they were heading into the future but swore they would return to fight once more and their plan would succeed someday.

====Personality and characteristics====
Unlike most Pokémon, Malamar is a cruel and evil Pokémon with a mysterious dark past. Though there have been many mischievous, manipulative and misunderstood Pokémon in the series, the wild Malamar are unique for being one of the only to seek world dominion without any known human influence. Malamar had no trouble with its plans for world domination as it hypnotized people and Pokémon to do its bidding. However, Trainers with a strong bond with their Pokémon such as {{Ash}} with {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[James]] with {{TP|James|Inkay}} are able to break free of Malamar's hypnotic control, or by pain as seen in Meowth's case, snapping out of it by {{m|Fury Swipes|scratching}} himself - or others such as Ash - repeatedly in the face. The three evil Malamar are shown to be psychopaths for they showed no signs of remorse, guilt, or redemption after their plans were stopped by Ash and his friends. They're also shown to be very merciless when their leader brainwashed several Pokémon, Ash's friends, Team Rocket, Pikachu and Officer Jenny and forced them to attack Ash and Meowth without any decency or mercy. They even lack the sense of honor and morality when they refused to accept defeat or learn from their previous mistakes.

[[File:Goodra and Wooper.png|thumb|250px|left|Wooper and Goodra]]
Prior to the events of ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', Wooper was close friends with a lone {{AP|Goomy}} who lived in [[Kalos Route 14|the wetlands]]. The two were very happy together and often played with the rest of the Pokémon in the wetlands. One day, while Wooper and {{p|Goomy}} were playing together in a lake, the wetlands were invaded by a {{p|Florges}} and her {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} army. During the chaos, Wooper became separated from its friend Goomy as Goomy landed on a fleeing {{p|Swanna}}.

Wooper made its first onscreen appearance in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' where it got to reunite with Goomy who was now a {{p|Goodra}}. When Goodra, who remembered all the good times it had with it, called loudly for its friends, Wooper recognized its voice and was the first to go find it. When it saw Goodra, it approached Goodra and was happy when Goodra recognized it. The other Pokémon then came out to greet Goodra. Wooper had a happy reunion with Goodra, but this was cut short when Swanna warned then about Florges's arrival.

Florges's army attacked once again. Goodra was able to get Wooper and its friends to fight back, and Goodra bested Florges in the battle. After the fight, when Goodra was recovering from a surprise attack, Wooper stayed with Goodra to watch it recover. During the nighttime, an {{p|Ariados}} kidnapped Wooper, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} while they were sleeping.

In ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', Wooper was placed in a special cage. It saw that Florges was holding her weakened child. Wooper, along with Pikachu and Dedenne tried convincing Florges that {{TRT}} was lying but {{MTR}} cutted them off by accusation. After Ash, {{an|Bonnie}}, and Goodra found and confronted Team Rocket, Florges attempted to attack after hearing the truth but Team Rocket escaped on their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] taking with them the cages containing Wooper, Pikachu, and Dedenne, and the stolen spring water. Wooper was found on the back of Team Rocket's airship. It was freed after {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} accidentally slammed into the panel. After defeating Team Rocket, Goodra placed Wooper on a {{p|Yanmega}} to escape the falling airship.

Wooper was then seen interacting with the other Pokémon after {{p|Floette}} became fully healed. Goodra was then told to stay behind with Wooper and the other Pokémon in the wetlands since it belonged there and it was no longer a Goomy. Thus, it could protect the other Pokémon from future dangers.

Wooper made a brief appearance in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching {{an|Serena}}'s Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Keanan and the other wetland Pokémon.

====Personality and characteristics====
Wooper was a very close friend of a single Goomy and was almost always with it during its time in the wetlands. It appeared to be the closest friend of Goomy, as the two would often happily play together along with the other Pokémon in the wetlands. Much like Goomy, Wooper is very playful and friendly.

Due to it being especially close to Goomy, Wooper was the first to recognize {{AP|Goodra}} when it had returned, now fully evolved. It was also the first to approach it, despite warning from the other Pokémon in the wetlands. It also stayed with Goodra while it was recovering from a surprise attack caused by Team Rocket.

In the end she was defeated by Goodra's Ice Beam. She did this to protect a {{p|Floette}}, and joined forces with Team Rocket. She reappeared in ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', where she learned of Team Rocket's deception and teamed up with Goodra to help defeat them.

It reappeared in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', in which it challenged Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} to a battle. It taught them how to use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} and fled after the Z-Crystal shattered from use.

Tapu Koko reappeared in [[SM009]], where [[Hala]] revealed that the Z-Ring it gave to Ash was stolen from him. It then watched Ash's battle against a {{p|Yungoos}}, a {{p|Gumshoos}}, and the [[Totem Pokémon|Totem Gumshoos]] at [[Verdant Cavern]]. The [[SM010|following day]], it watched Ash's Grand Trial Battle with Hala. After Ash won, Hala was about to give him a Fightinium Z as proof of his victory, but Tapu Koko quickly stole the Z-Crystal and replaced it with another Electrium Z.

Tapu Koko reappeared in [[SM019]] where it had a rematch against Pikachu and was able to withstand Gigavolt Havoc. The match ended with no clear winner after Pikachu fell off a cliff which Tapu Koko helped to save Ash and Pikachu from.

A group of Pikipek is part of a family led by a {{p|Trumbeak}} and a {{p|Toucannon}} that lives in a forest on Melemele Island. The Pikipek are bred from [[Pokémon Egg]]s by Toucannon. By mistake, a {{TP|Ash|Rowlet}} was born into the nest of Pikipek. The Rowlet would grow up alongside the Pikipek but would never be fully accepted by them, Trumbeak and Toucannon.

The Pikipek first appeared in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-style!]]'', taking fruit from the citizens of [[Hau'oli City]]. The people of Melemele Island allow the group of Pikipek to take their fruit so that people and Pokémon can live in harmony. Later, back at their nest, the group was attacked by {{TRT}}. Even though having been banished from the group earlier, Rowlet saved them. They thanked it and then watched as Rowlet left the group to join {{Ash}}.

Three of them reappeared in [[SM018]] where they were briefly reunited with Rowlet when Ash and {{an|Mallow}} visited its nest to see if its flock knew where to find [[Nectar|Yellow Nectar]].

Trumbeak is part of a family of {{p|Pikipek}} led by a {{p|Toucannon}} that lives in a forest on Melemele Island. Its exact position in the group is unknown, although it is the second-in-command after Toucannon. By mistake, a {{TP|Ash|Rowlet}} was born into the nest of Pikipek. The Rowlet would grow up alongside the Pikipek but would never be fully accepted by them, Trumbeak and Toucannon.

Trumbeak first appeared in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-style!]]'', leading the Pikipek in taking fruit from the citizens of [[Hau'oli City]]. The people of Melemele Island allow the group of Pikipek to take their fruit so that people and Pokémon can live in harmony. After taking the fruit back to their nest, it was discovered that Rowlet had accidentally brought a wind chime instead of fruit. Trumbeak scolded Rowlet for this and banished it from the group.

Later, the group was attacked by {{TRT}}. Even though having been banished from the group earlier, Rowlet saved them. They thanked it, with Trumbeak hugging Rowlet and then watched as Rowlet left the group to join {{Ash}}.

Trumbeak reappeared in [[SM018]] where it was briefly reunited with Rowlet when Ash and {{an|Mallow}} visited its nest to see if its flock knew where to find [[Nectar|Yellow Nectar]].

====Personality and characteristics====
Trumbeak has been shown to be rather stern, but caring all the same. It scolded Rowlet when it failed to bring food back to the nest, but was thankful when Rowlet helped save them from Team Rocket. It even gave Rowlet a hug as it left to join Ash's team.

Toucannon is the leader of a group of Pikipek and one Trumbeak that lives in a forest on Melemele Island. Toucannon is responsible for breeding the Pikipek from [[Pokémon Egg]]s, while it leaves the hunt for food to Trumbeak and the Pikipek. By mistake, a {{TP|Ash|Rowlet}} was born into the nest of Pikipek. The Rowlet would grow up alongside the Pikipek but would never be fully accepted by them, Trumbeak and Toucannon.

Toucannon first appeared in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-style!]]'', waiting at its nest for the Pikipek, Trumbeak and Rowlet to return with fruit. When it turned out Rowlet had accidentally brought a wind chime instead of fruit, Trumbeak gave it a scolding and banished it from the group. Later, the group was attacked by {{TRT}}. Even though having been banished from the group earlier, Rowlet saved them. Rowlet wanted to join {{Ash}} who it had met earlier, but hesitated about leaving the group for good. Toucannon however told Rowlet to join Ash, which it did.

Toucannon reappeared in [[SM018]] where it was briefly reunited with Rowlet when Ash and {{an|Mallow}} visited its nest to see if its flock knew where to find [[Nectar|Yellow Nectar]].

====Personality and characteristics====
Toucannon is shown to having a caring personality as shown when it was looking after the young Pikipek and Rowlet. Toucannon spotted that Rowlet wanted to join Ash's team and encouraged it to leave the nest and join his team.

[[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|Stoutland and Litten]]
Stoutland was a friend of a Litten that wanders around [[Melemele Island]]. It was an elderly Pokémon that Litten looks out for, by giving it food, and lives with.

{{Ash}} intended to catch Litten, but he gave up when he discovered the Pokémon giving food and company to Stoutland.

Stoutland reappeared in [[SM016]] where it and Litten had moved location to under a canal bridge. Stoutland seems keen on the idea of Litten joining Ash's team, something Litten wasn't keen on.

Stoutland reappeared once again in [[SM021]], visibly worse in condition and coughing constantly, with shots of it intertwined with that of a dying nearby tree that was losing its last leaves. It had attempted to teach Litten Fire Fang by demonstrating it, but Litten ended up hurting itself when it attempted to bite a rock. Stoutland later collapses, and Litten runs off to get Ash's help, the human proceeding to carry it to a Pokémon Center. Stoutland is taken into the center's emergency room and hooked up to an electrocardiogram as it is attended to by the center's Nurse Joy and her Blissey and Comfey. It is later discharged and returns home with Litten, unsuccessfully attempting to teach it Fire Fang again and falling asleep during Litten's turn. Having curled up into Stoutland afterwards, Litten awakes in fear after a dream where it is unable to keep up with Stoutland and discovers it has disappeared. Stoutland's disappearance and Litten's unsuccessful search for it coincides with a heavy rainstorm and the tree losing its last two leaves, with heavy implication that it had left Litten and died on its own somewhere else. After being found by Ash, Litten chases the tree's last leaf when it is blown away by the wind after the rain stops, where it discovers a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland smiling down upon it.

====Personality and characteristics====
Stoutland was shown to having a caring side where it got Litten to help return [[Ash's Rowlet]] and [[Lana's Popplio]] to its Trainers, despite Litten's reluctance.

==Recurring Pokémon that have been caught==
Seven Pokémon that recurred in the anime were later caught, five by {{Ash}}, one by {{an|Clemont}}, and one by [[Jessie]].
* An {{AP|Aipom}} began following the group through the [[Kanto]] region, and was caught three episodes later by Ash in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. She had a habit of taking [[Ash's hat]] from him making him chase her around, sometimes lowering her eyelid and sticking out her tongue at him when he tried to get it back. She was eventually traded to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' and evolved into an Ambipom in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' under her care.
* Ash also caught a {{AP|Gible}} in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'' after helping him to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
* Ash later caught the {{AP|Sunglasses Krokorok|Krokorok}} (which debuted as a Sandile) that had been following him since ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' in ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]''. He evolved into a Krookodile in ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three]]'' during his battle against [[Iris's Dragonite]].
* Clemont caught a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} that was following the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' which he gave to {{an|Bonnie}} to take care of.
* Jessie caught a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-style!]]'' after it helped {{TRT}} attack Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Rockruff}} in [[SM015]] that lived with him and [[Professor Kukui]] in Kukui's home. Although Kukui took care of it, it was never actually his Pokémon.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Litten}} in [[SM021]] that often wandered around [[Melemele Island]].

Rockruff16: Bounsweet may possibly evolve in SM018 or SM019

== Sweet Scent ==

Does Bounsweet know {{m|Sweet Scent}} or is that just an ability that Bounsweet can use? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 23:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
:We don't know, that's why the move was taken down. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 05:24, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

==Bounsweet Evolves?==
I saw in the article for [[SM019]] that a Steenee is set to appear. Does this mean Mallow's Bounsweet will evolve between [[SM018]] and [[SM019]]. We should have a protection page on this if this happens. [[User:Rockruff16|Rockruff16]] ([[User talk:Rockruff16|talk]]) 18:19, 15 March 2017 (UTC) Rockruff16

'''Black''' (Japanese: '''ブラック ''' ''Black'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]].

For his skills, he is given the title of '''"Dreamer"''' (夢みる者 ''Dreamer''), which he shares with {{adv|White}}.

==Character==
[[File:Black blank.png|thumb|left|125px|Black emptying his mind]]
Black is a young man who aspires to be the Champion of the Unova Pokémon League. He has been dreaming of this since childhood, nine years to be exact. However, these dreams fill his head to the point where he cannot think about anything else and any attempts to cause him to pass out from mental exhaustion. With his Munna, Black can have him {{m|Dream Eater|eat his dreams}}, which he refers to turning his mind from "blank white" to "solid black". Doing this allows him to think much more clearly, become smarter, and improve perception. Also, when he does this, he apparently sees in hexagons. Due to his dreams causing him to forget about other things, Black has the tendency to do things without considering the consequences of his actions and their effects on other people. As the series goes on, Black slowly begins to consider the feelings of others and even manages to be able to think about other things for brief periods of time.

He has been described as "hot blooded" by several characters due to his loud nature and tendency to do things on his own. He doesn't understand show business like White does and many aspects of it surprise him, such as [[Gigi]] and [[Tep]] getting to stay in a hotel room while he and White have to camp out. He is very familiar with libraries and went there frequently as a child, allowing him to complete [[Lenora]]'s Gym puzzle very quickly, setting a new record in the process. Black's tendency to dream also causes him to miss the things happening around him, such as when he completely forgot his promise with his friends {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} once he received the package holding the Pokémon and [[Pokédex]]es they were going to receive.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Black young Adventures.png|thumb|250px|left|Black at age five]]

Black is first seen waiting for a package that is being delivered to his house after waiting all night in the rain. After receiving the package from a mailman, he immediately opens it and finds three Pokémon, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Snivy}}, and three Pokédexes inside. He jumps in glee and accidentally releases the Pokémon from their Poké Balls after his cold causes him to sneeze and drop the box. The three Pokémon quickly get into a fight and Tepig runs off while Black follows it.

He eventually finds Tepig on a tree being attacked by an unknown Pokémon. Using his deduction skills, he has his {{p|Munna}}, Musha, {{m|Dream Eater|eat}} his dreams, allowing him to find out the attacking Pokémon. Using his abilities, Black and the Tepig defeat the Pokémon, a {{p|Sewaddle}}. Black is able to convince the Tepig to go with him and they set off to start their journey. Before leaving, Black flies to a library to find out the evolved form of Tepig so he can think of a proper name for him. Tepig, mistaking that Black isn't happy with his current form, runs off; Black follows him once more. Black finds Tepig in a cave, sulking and after trying to get him to calm down, accidentally causes a wild {{p|Woobat}} to attack them. Black manages to get Tepig to defeat the Woobat and decides to name him "Tep" instead of a name based on his final form; the two then set off to finally start their adventure.

On {{rt|1|Unova}}, Black meets {{tc|Hiker}} Andy and defeats him in his first Battle. Black finds out that Andy used to have the same dreams as he does, to beat the Pokémon League, but because of his weakness to heat, he had to give up. After putting out a fire, Black manages to convince the Hiker to restart his journey, even letting him join in his morning routine.

[[File:Black Cheren Bianca Gym Battle.png|thumb|200px|Black, Bianca, and Cheren in their first Gym battle]]
Later, when doing his normal routine, Black inadvertently interrupts a [[Xtransceiver]] commercial shooting. He meets {{adv|White}}, the representative of the [[BW Agency]] and she tries to convince him to help her by letting his male Tepig, Tep, be partnered with her female Tepig, Gigi, in a movie shooting. Suddenly, five crew members are knocked unconscious and Black is suspected of being the attacker. Black proves his innocence by finding the real culprit, a {{p|Galvantula}}, and defeating it. Black is then pointed out that he, in the process of defeating the Galvantula, destroyed all the camera equipment. He is prevented from getting in trouble for this by White who claims they just hired him and puts the cost for all the damages on the BW Agency. Black is forced to help White till he pays off his debt, fifty paychecks worth of commercials. He now refers to her as "Boss".

The night after, Black and White camp outside and are attacked by an unseen Pokémon. Using his abilities, Black finds out that the Pokémon attacking them is a {{p|Timburr}} that is helping a group of people in knight uniforms known as [[Team Plasma]] build a stage. The next day, Black and White witness one of Team Plasma's "sages", [[Ghetsis]], make a speech that causes the people around them to start releasing their Pokémon. Enraged, Black goes to try to stop Ghetsis from making any more speeches only to be stopped by a young man named [[N]] who has the ability to understand Pokémon by listening to their hearts. Black and N battle each other, only for Black to suffer a painful defeat while N uses the opportunity to listen to the hearts of Black's Pokémon to see if Pokémon and humans can truly be together.

Later, Black and White travel to [[Striaton City]] so Black can compete in his first Gym battle. There, he encounters Cheren and Bianca who are furious at him for leaving without them and breaking their Pokédexes, leaving his as the only working one. Their fighting causes the Gym Leaders to allow Cheren and Bianca to join the Gym battle along with Black. Together, they traverse through the Gym and face off against the Gym Leaders and succeed in defeating all three of them. After winning, Black apologizes to Cheren and Bianca by giving them a pair of [[Xtransceiver]]s so they can keep in touch.

Later, while traveling to the next town, Black is attacked by an unseen Pokémon after Musha flies off. He wakes up inside of the laboratory of [[Fennel]], a Professor researching Pokémon Trainers and powers that dreams possess. They decide to go look for the runaway Musha and Fennel decides to join them after learning that Musha is a Pokémon that can help with her research. They go to the [[Dreamyard]] and find Musha being held captive by some {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s. Black faces the Grunts in battle and manages to defeat them and regain Musha. After Fennel obtains some [[Dream Mist]] for her research, Black and White say their goodbyes.

Black and White soon arrive in [[Nacrene City]] to do BW Agency advertising. After dealing with a pair of trouble-making Pokémon, Black goes to the Nacrene Gym to battle its Gym Leader, [[Lenora]]. Despite her powerful Pokémon and smart tactics, Black manages to defeat Lenora, winning the Basic Badge in the process. Having finished everything they needed to do in Nacrene, a frustrated Black attempts to go to the next town but White keeps going into the various stores in town. They soon see Lenora's husband, [[Hawes]], running around in terror because someone had stolen the {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon Fossil at the museum. After using Musha to find clues, Black encounters the Gym Leader [[Burgh]] as he tries to find the thieves. With Burgh's help, Black defeats the Team Plasma members that stole the Fossil and gives it back to the museum. Afterwards, Black and Burgh say their goodbyes and promise to meet again in Castelia City for his Gym battle.

[[File:Black pledge Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|Black reciting his pledge]]
After going through [[Pinwheel Forest]], Black and White are attacked by another unseen Pokémon. After meeting the president of the Battle Company, Geoff, they find out the attacker was the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{adv|Virizion}}. Upon arriving in [[Castelia City]], Black and Tep encounter a lost boy crying inside of a building. Black leaves Tep to watch the child while he finds someone to help him. Unbeknownst to Black, the boy is actually a mischievous {{TP|N|Zorua}} in disguise that wreaks havoc throughout the city while Tep chases after it. Eventually, the Zorua escapes, while Black has no idea what really happened while he was away.

After doing more sightseeing, Black is informed by White that he has paid over half of what he owes to her and she intends to pay for his expenses as long as he advertises the BW Agency. After Black accepts, he notices that Tep is about to evolve, an action White refuses due to the possibility that it might affect Tep and Gigi's popularity and hurt sales. Black then goes to have his Gym battle against Burgh and quickly maneuvers through the Gym's honey walls and faces the Gym Leader in battle. Despite remembering White's protests, Black allows Tep to battle in the Gym, Tep evolving in the process and defeating Burgh's {{p|Dwebble}} and winning the battle for Black. After Black beats Burgh, [[Iris]] arrives with an unconscious Bianca who had her Pokémon stolen from her. Using Musha, Black finds the thieves—Team Plasma—and rescues Bianca's stolen {{p|Litwick}} from them. Afterwards, Black decides to rename Tep "Nite" since he evolved into a {{p|Pignite}}.

Upon the request of Professor Juniper, Black and White go to [[Liberty Garden]] to investigate a Pokémon called {{p|Victini}}. Using Musha, Black finds an injured Victini being chased by three members of Team Plasma, who claim to be trying to protect it from any potential attackers. With Victini's assistance, Black defeats the Team Plasma members and drives them away, allowing Victini to leave and move about freely.

Later, Black and White travel to the [[Desert Resort]] on their way to [[Nimbasa City]]. Due to the powerful sandstorm, Black is forced to wait until White comes back with clothes that will allow them to move about the sandstorm unharmed. As he waits, Black meets [[Grimsley]], one of the Unova Elite Four. Together, they uncover a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} sneaking around the area and capture him. Later, Grimsley gives Black the option of battling him at the cost of his hard-earned Gym Badges. Although Black wanted to battle Grimsley, the thought of losing his Badges if he loses the fight causes him to faint by exhausting his mind. Black later awakens in Nimbasa City, having been taken there by White on Brav's back. Black witnesses White put on the newest tourist attraction for Nimbasa City, the [[Pokémon Musical]], and is shocked to see her skills in management. There, Black meets [[Elesa]], the Nimbasa Gym Leader, who tells him to wait until they start their Gym battle.

After the Musical ends, Black and Elesa go to the [[Nimbasa Gym]], where they begin their battle. During the battle, Black gets stuck on the Gym's roller coaster cars, but he decides to continue battling despite being trapped inside. With the help of Tula, Musha, and Nite, Black defeats Elesa and earns the Bolt Badge. Before he can get his Badge, Black is sent to the roof of the Gym, where he encounters the Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Thundurus}}. Thundurus quickly shocks Black, freeing him from the roller coaster's car.

[[File:White Battle Subway Adventures.png|thumb|230px|right|Black saying farewell to White]]
Later, Black searches for White, who had gone missing. He quickly finds her being held in the arms of an older man, unconscious. Black immediately attacks the man to try and rescue White, but is easily defeated. He soon finds out that the man is [[Marshal]], one of the Unova Elite Four, who had found White unconscious near the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel. Black takes White off Marshal's hands and brings her to the hospital.

Later, White awakens in the hospital and reveals that earlier, she was attacked at the Ferris Wheel by [[N]], who convinced [[Gigi]] to join his side. Angry, Black tries to get answers from the {{adv|Amanda|Servine}} N gave to White, but is outsmarted at every turn. After getting out of the hospital, Black and White meet {{tc|Baker}} Chris, who reveals to them about the [[Battle Subway]], another recent Nimbasa tourist attraction. They go to the Battle Subway, where they find Marshal battling the Unova Champion, [[Alder]]. Learning about the Battle Subway gives White the idea to try and learn to battle by testing it out for the mayor. As she tries to capture her first Pokémon, Black helps White by capturing a wild {{p|Tirtouga}} as a demonstration. Later, Black learns that the Tirtouga was Marshal's, but was released due to it being hard to control for him. At the Battle Subway, Black and White are forced to separate with each other, but Black lends White his Brav so that she will have three Pokémon to battle with.

As Black prepares to head to [[Driftveil City]], he finds out that the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] is stuck, preventing anyone from crossing it. After getting help from Elesa, Black manages to cross the bridge, only to find the culprit who messed with the bridge, a wild {{p|Zorua}}, harassing him. Using its {{a|Illusion}} Ability, Zorua manages to confuse Black, but it is eventually defeated and runs away. Afterward, Black meets [[Clay]], the Driftveil Gym Leader, who explains that the Zorua had been causing trouble for him.

Upon arriving at Driftveil City, Black meets up with Cheren again. There, Cheren gets his Snivy stolen by Team Plasma, forcing the two to try and get it back. They go to the [[Cold Storage]], where they fight the Team Plasma Grunts that stole Snivy. With the moves they taught their Pokémon at the Move Tutor, Black and Cheren manage to defeat the Grunts. Later, Black goes to the Driftveil Gym to get his next Gym Badge, but finds out that Clay has closed the building because of his bad mood. As he waits for the Gym to reopen, Black tries to get his Tirtouga to listen to him, but it refuses to listen to his commands. Later, when the Gym opens up again, Black clears the challenge and meets up with Clay again. Clay tells Black that his Tirtouga will evolve into a {{p|Carracosta}}, giving Black the idea to name it "Costa."

Clay also states that he heard about Black from the other Gym Leaders, who gave praise to the boy. Clay reveals that earlier, he dug up a mysterious stone at [[Twist Mountain]]. When Black asks him about this, Clay reveals that the stone is the Dark Stone, also known as one of Unova's Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Zekrom}}. Clay promises to tell Black more about it if he can defeat him in battle. Although Clay's team proves to be strong, Black manages to defeat all of Clay's Pokémon, giving him the victory.

Defeated, Clay reveals to Black that Lenora had been spied upon by Team Plasma, who they believe is aiming to steal the Dark Stone. Clay also reveals that the other Gym Leaders know about this and have decided to gather together and face Team Plasma to prevent them from stealing the Dark Stone. They travel to Mistralton City where they meet up with Burgh, Elesa, [[Skyla]], and [[Brycen]] and prepare to wait for Lenora's signal. As they wait, Skyla takes Black to the [[Celestial Tower]] and forces him to ring the bell so that she could determine whether or not Black is good enough to help them. Dissatisfied with the sound of the bell's ringing, Skyla pushes Black off of the tower and takes him to the Mistralton Gym for a Gym battle. Due to Clay's warning that because of Team Plasma's actions, the League may be canceled this year, Black's ability to battle wanes due to him being stressed out. Black decides to take his stress and use it to face Team Plasma. After giving some encouragement to his team, Black defeats Skyla, earning him the Jet Badge. Skyla takes off with the other Gym Leaders to Nacrene City and has Black come along with them.

After arriving, Black is tasked with finding the Dark Stone while the Gym Leaders face the [[Shadow Triad]]. After defeating the Plasma Grunts inside the museum, a loud rumbling noise leads Black outside to investigate it. Much to his shock, the Shadow Triad have revealed that they have captured the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}}. The three Pokémon quickly overpower the Gym Leaders and knock them out. Despite Clay's protests, Black and his newly-evolved Nite try to save them, only to be easily swatted away. Although defeated, Lenora reveals that the battle destroyed the only key to where the Dark Stone is kept, which means that the Shadow Triad can't get the stone. Despite this, the Shadow Triad take the defeated Gym Leaders away while Black is forced to watch. However, he quickly finds out that [[Brycen]] managed to escape and has come to help him. Black, realizing that he already knows where the Dark Stone is being kept, takes Brycen to where he fought Lenora previously and finds the Dark Stone hidden there.

Although happy to have found the Dark Stone, Black is attacked by Ghetsis, revealing that the Brycen that had escaped earlier was a Plasma Grunt in disguise. Black is knocked unconscious, while Ghetsis takes the Dark Stone to N so that it can be revived into {{p|Zekrom}}. Later, Black is found by the real Brycen, who actually managed to escape from the Shadow Triad. Brycen calls [[Drayden]] and informs him of what had happened. They reveal that the Light Stone, which holds the other Dragon-type of Unova, {{p|Reshiram}}, was in the same location as the Dark Stone the entire time. The Light Stone quickly rolls over to Black and chooses him as the hero destined to awaken it. Brycen decides that Black will need to become stronger for future battles and he takes the unconscious boy to begin training.

Black is taken to the [[Tubeline Bridge]], where he is tasked with having to break free from the ice chain around his leg created by Brycen's {{p|Cryogonal}}. Together with Nite, now named Bo, Black manages to break free from the ice chain and complete the first step. After completing the second step, Black's final training is to defeat the {{tc|Biker|Black Empoleon}} biker gang. With the help of Costa, Black is able to fully complete his training. Afterward, {{tc|Doctor|Logan}} takes Black to the Icirrus Gym so that he can have a Gym battle with Brycen. During the Gym battle, Brycen reveals that he has the Light Stone with him, and that he intends on giving it to Black after the battle. The final battle ends when Costa evolves into a Carracosta, giving it the power its needs to defeat Brycen's Beartic and earn the Icicle Badge for its Trainer. Once the battle is over, Brycen hands the Light Stone to Black. Black attempts to summon Reshiram, only to get no response. Despite this victory, Black is shocked to learn that Drayden has pushed up the League's date from three months to a week. He begins panicking at the thought of not being able to complete in the League and runs off with Iris following after him.

Black's travels takes him to the [[Mistralton Cave]], where he decides to catch one of the Legendary Pokémon he heard about from Iris so that he could hopefully convince Drayden to allow him into the League. There, he meets [[Shoko]] of the {{p|Patrat}} show whose friend, Trish of {{tc|The Riches}}, was captured by Virizion, {{adv|Terrakion}}, and {{adv|Cobalion}} after she tried to capture them herself. Black manages to free Trish, but Shōko and Trish's Pokémon are captured and taken away to be freed from their Trainers. Black tracks Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion down and barely manages to convince them to release their captives.

[[File:Black awakens Reshiram Adventures.png|thumb|250px|right|Black awakens Reshiram]]
Black's travels take him to {{rt|6|Unova}}, where he reunites with White. They spot Marshal refereeing a battle between Alder and N, which ends with N as the winner. When Black sees that N has successfully awakened and controlled Zekrom, the Light Stone reacts and briefly transforms into Reshiram before reverting to its previous state. As N prepares to leave, he is attacked by Cedric Juniper. Cedric tells Black and White to help him get information from N about the whereabouts of the kidnapped Gym Leaders. With the power of the three Unova starter Pokémon, N is defeated, but he revives his other Pokémon and prevents Black from getting any info. Confused, Black resorts to Musha again, but the Munna only recoils in fear and ignores his orders. N reveals that Musha no longer considers Black's dreams tasty, and thus no longer has a reason to stay with his Trainer. As Musha floats away, Black faints from the shock that the bond between him and his longtime friend was all a lie.

Black later finds himself in the Entralink, where he spots Musha's silhouette. He attempts to call out to Musha, but gets no answer or a response. He eventually wakes up from the nightmare at a hospital, where he finds out that the League's opening ceremony has already begun while he slept. Feeling defeated, Black decides to return home to Nuvema Town, but chooses to stay when he sees the sad faces of his Pokémon from not being able to enter the League. Black goes up to Drayden and challenges him to a Gym battle, stating that until the tournament begins, he still has enough time to obtain his last Badge. Drayden accepts and the two have a quick one-on-one battle in a hallway. Black initially has trouble battling because of the shock of Musha's betrayal. The battle is interrupted by [[Caitlin]], who uses her psychic powers to relay a message from the kidnapped Gym Leaders confirming that they're alright but unaware of their current location. They give Black encouragement that allows him to beat Drayden, earning himself the Legend Badge and a place in the League tournament.

Black battles in the tournament, and advances to the Top 8, alongside [[Zinzolin|Gray]], Iris, Cheren, [[Leo]], [[Looker]], and [[Colress|Hood Man]]. His first opponent in the tournament is Looker, disguised as Lou Karr, who uses {{p|Croagunk}}, a Pokémon not native to Unova. As such, he has no idea how to fight it when the Pokédex can't recognize it. After a tough battle, Black defeats Looker's Croagunk with Tula and advances to the semifinals. For his next match, Black faces Iris in the semifinals. Due to her past with Alder, Iris wishes to defeat N and regain her former teacher's honor back. Black sympathizes with Iris's anger, but his proves stronger as he manages to defeat her and advance to the finals.

In the final match, Black faces Cheren, who he noticed had been acting strangely cold ever since the tournament started. Cheren reveals to Black that he had been convinced by Team Plasma into pursuing strength. Angered that Team Plasma would manipulate his childhood friend, Black's battle with Cheren takes them to the roof of the Pokémon League. They clash one last time, which causes the both of them to fall asleep as Dream Mist fills the sky. They share a dream to their childhood when Black wrote down his dream to win the League and Cheren wrote his dream to support Black's dream. Black is declared the winner with his Pokémon still standing. As he wakes up, Black forgives Cheren and states that they will always be friends. Now evolved into a Musharna, Musha returns to Black, who welcomes his friend with open arms. Furious over the manipulation of his friend, Black dares Team Plasma to come out of hiding as Reshiram fully awakens from the Light Stone.

During his battle with Cheren, White found out that Gray was actually Zinzolin and attempted to reveal this to Black before Hood Man had her taken away with {{m|Teleport}}. He attacks the bound Zinzolin and demands to know where White was taken to. Zinzolin instead pulls out a remote control and activates it, summoning Team Plasma's castle from the depths of the earth. The castle surrounds the League, and several Team Plasma Grunts come out and corner everyone. Black is approached by Ghetsis, the Seven Sages, and N. Seeing Zekrom agitates Reshiram, so it immediately flies off to battle with its counterpart, leaving Black alone. Ghetsis mocks Black as being completely unable to stop Team Plasma as his allies are too busy with other problems to lend their assistance. A voice denies this claim and reveals itself to belong to Hiker Andy. Andy, along with Chris, Geoffrey, Jeremy, Trish, Shōko, and Logan, decide to assist Black by him letting go on ahead while they battle the sages and rescue the kidnapped Gym Leaders.

[[File:Black Reshiram Light Stone Adventures.png|thumb|left|190px|White stares in shock as Black and Reshiram become the Light Stone]]
Black complies and gets on Reshiram's back while letting the rest of his team go to help with the chaos down below. On the top of N's Castle, Black and N have their final battle. Due to a lack of understanding of Reshiram's power, Black struggles against N. With Cedric Juniper's help, Black figures out how to utilize Reshiram's strength. By exploiting the power of {{m|Fusion Flare}}, Black deals heavy damage to Zekrom, but it and N escape to inside the castle with Black and Reshiram following after. Once inside, the two continue their battle, but a second Zekrom appears to assist the first. Black sees through the ruse and attacks the real Zekrom, defeating it. The second Zekrom reveals itself to be Zorua, who had remained to help N despite him releasing all of his friends prior to the attack on the League.

Black tells N that despite the release, Zorua truly cares for N and wants to stay with it. N understands Zorua's wishes, but quickly passes out. Black's team then returns with their job outside finished. Black reconciles with Musha and tears up knowing that it only left to get stronger for him. The reunion is interrupted by Ghetsis, who reveals himself to be N's father and plans on killing Black to make sure no one knows N was defeated. Ghetsis attacks Black with a team he states was specifically designed to counter Black's team after his repeated stopping of Team Plasma's plans. With Musha's help, Black figures out that Ghetsis is using a secret weapon, the Sun Pokémon {{p|Volcarona}}. Black turns the tables on Ghetsis and manages to defeat his entire team at once, finally putting an end to Team Plasma. Ghetsis attempts to escape, but Black traps him with Costa's Stone Edge.

With the battle finally over, Black finally reunites with White, who had found Gigi and rehired her into the BW Agency. N wakes up and thanks Black and White for helping him see the error of his ways. He decides to go on his own path and bids them farewell as he leaves on Zekrom's back, leaving Zorua behind. With its counterpart gone, Reshiram begins reverting itself back into the Light Stone. The pull is so strong that Black fears that he and White could be sucked in as well. This gives Ghetsis the idea to use Colress's {{p|Beheeyem}} to throw Black at Reshiram, preventing him from escaping the pull. Knowing he can't escape, Black reveals that he is wearing the BW Agency's logo underneath his jacket and asks if he paid off his debt. Before White can answer, Black is absorbed into the Light Stone. Heartbroken, White confirms that Black did pay off his debt and attempts to reach out to the Light Stone. Before she can grab it, the Light Stone floats into the air and flies away to parts unknown as White cries for Black to return.

==Pokémon==
When nicknaming his Pokémon, Black takes the name of the Pokémon's final evolution and makes a name from that. The only exceptions are Bo, whose name is based on his current form and changed every time he evolved and Reshiram, who doesn't have a name.

'''Black's Reshiram''' (Japanese: '''ブラックのレシラム''' ''Black's Reshiram'') is the light Dragon and [[Unova]]'s "truth" who is owned by {{adv|Black}} and his sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} overall.

===History===
[[File:Light Stone Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|As the Light Stone]]
[[File:Black awakens Reshiram Adventures.png|thumb|left|180px|Black and Reshiram]]
Prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, Reshiram was part of a single powerful Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] who created the [[Unova]] region. The two brothers argued over how to rule the Unova region. The elder brother pursued the truth while the younger brother pursued ideals. Unable to choose a side, the Dragon Pokémon split into two beings: Reshiram, who sided with the elder brother, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger. Sometime after the two brothers battled, Reshiram and Zekrom transformed into the [[Dragon Stones|Light and Dark Stones]], respectively.

In the present day, both stones were found at the [[Desert Resort]] by [[Clay]] and his mining crew. Feeling a strange surge of power every time he touched the stones, Clay became concerned and asked [[Lenora]] to study them. The Light and Dark Stones were taken to [[Nacrene Museum]] to be studied, but only the Dark Stone's discovery was made public knowledge. Lenora later discovered the both stones were actually the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom. As Lenora studied the stones, [[Team Plasma]] spied on her with the intent on stealing the stones.

In ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'', the Shadow Triad launched the operation to retrieve the Dark Stone. The Unova Gym Leaders each fought against the Shadow Triad to protect the Dark Stone. Eventually, the Gym Leaders won, but were defeated when the Shadow Triad revealed their trump card, the {{adv|Forces of Nature}}. Though the Gym Leaders were defeated and captured, the Shadow Triad were unable to break into the basement where the Dark Stone was kept. By disguising himself as [[Brycen]], a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} tricked Black into leading him into the basement, allowing [[Ghetsis]] to take the Dark Stone and knock Black unconscious. After Ghetsis had left, the real Brycen entered the basement and found the unconscious Black. He opened the lock to the Light Stone, which rolled towards Black, choosing him to be the next Hero of Truth. Brycen then decided to take Black and train him so that he may be able to wield Reshiram's power against Team Plasma.

In ''[[PS509|Will the Truth Come Out?]]'', Black stumbles across a battle between [[N]] and [[Alder]]. When he notices that N managed to get Zekrom to join him, the Light Stone glows brightly and Reshiram briefly emerges from it before retreating back inside.

In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Black, enraged that Team Plasma managed to manipulate his friend {{adv|Cheren}}, angrily demands Team Plasma to reveal themselves. This causes Reshiram to fully emerge from the Light Stone. After Team Plasma surrounds the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}} with [[N's Castle]], Reshiram senses Zekrom's presence and goes off to fight its counterpart alone. After catching up with it, Black rides on Reshiram's back as they face off against N and Zekrom in their final battle. Though initially fearful that he may not be able to live up to the previous Hero's legacy, Black musters up the courage to fight alongside Reshiram. Together, Black and Reshiram hit Zekrom with a powerful {{m|Fusion Flare}}, knocking Zekrom and N to the ground.

Zekrom quickly gets back up and flies to N's Castle with Black and Reshiram following after it. Upon arriving, Black is shocked to see a second Zekrom fighting alongside the original one. Though momentarily confused, Black sees through the ruse and has Reshiram attack the real Zekrom, defeating it. The battle left Reshiram exhausted, leaving it unable to help Black in his final battle against Ghetsis.

After N and Zekrom leave, Reshiram lets out a roar as it begins reverting back into the Light Stone. Black realizes that if he and {{adv|White}} stand near it, they will be absorbed into the Light Stone as well. Hearing this, Ghetsis uses [[Colress]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}} to throw Black onto Reshiram before making his escape. Black is unable to escape and is sealed into the Light Stone alongside Reshiram. When White attempts to grab the Light Stone, it flies off to parts unknown.

===Personality and characteristics===
Reshiram is a powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, easily competing with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. {{adv|Black}} was quickly overwhelmed by Reshiram's power, feeling as though his mind and body were being crushed by its presence. Reshiram has a close relationship with its [[Trainer]], choosing Black as its Hero of Truth. Black was also able to quickly connect his heart to Reshiram during their battle against [[N]] and {{p|Zekrom}}.

'''N's Zekrom''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｎ|エヌ}}のゼクロム''' ''N's Zekrom'') is the dark Dragon and [[Unova]]'s "ideals" who joined [[N]] in his goal to liberate all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===History===
[[File:Dark Stone Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|As the Dark Stone]]
Prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, Zekrom was part of a single powerful Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by twin heroes who created the [[Unova]] region. The two brothers argued over how to rule the Unova region. The younger brother pursued ideals while the elder brother pursued the truth. Unable to choose a side, the Dragon Pokémon split into two beings: Zekrom, who sided with the younger brother, and Zekrom, who sided with the elder. Sometime after the two brothers battled, Zekrom and Reshiram transformed into the [[Dragon Stones|Dark and Light Stones]], respectively.

In the present day, both stones were found at the [[Desert Resort]] by [[Clay]] and his mining crew. Feeling a strange surge of power every time he touched the stones, Clay became concerned and asked [[Lenora]] to study them. The Dark and Light Stones were taken to [[Nacrene Museum]] to be studied, but only the Dark Stone's discovery was made public knowledge. Lenora later discovered the both stones were actually the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom. As Lenora studied the stones, [[Team Plasma]] spied on her with the intent on stealing the stones.

By disguising himself as [[Brycen]], a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} tricked Black into leading him into the basement, allowing [[Ghetsis]] to take the Dark Stone and knock Black unconscious. Ghetsis took the stone to [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he presented it to [[N]], who awakened Zekrom. Though initially wary of N, Zekrom eventually decided to join N's side, choosing him to be the next Hero of Ideals.

In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', N is approached by [[Alder]], who recounts the legend of Unova's founding before challenging N to a battle. When Black arrives to see the battle, he notices that N managed to awaken Zekrom. The Light Stone glows brightly and Reshiram briefly emerges from it before retreating back inside. Though N is not surprised that Black possesses the Light Stone, he questions why Reshiram chose him. After the battle ends and N leaves, he hears Zekrom's voice, revealing that it wishes to fight against Black once he has fully become the Hero of Truth.

In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Black, enraged that Team Plasma managed to manipulate his friend {{adv|Cheren}}, angrily demands Team Plasma to reveal themselves, causing Reshiram to fully emerge from the Light Stone. Team Plasma soon attacks the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}}, surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. With both Dragons fully awakened, N and Black have their final battle in the skies above N's Castle. Though N initially has the advantage in the battle, Black exploits the connection between Zekrom and Reshiram to deal a powerful blow to Zekrom with {{m|Fusion Flare}}, knocking Zekrom and N to the ground. Zekrom quickly gets back up and flies to N's Castle with Black and Reshiram following after it.

Upon arriving, Black is shocked to see a second Zekrom fighting alongside the original one. Though momentarily confused, Black sees through the ruse and has Reshiram attack the real Zekrom, defeating it. The fake Zekrom soon reveals itself to be N's {{TP|N|Zorua}}, who wished to fight alongside N despite being released earlier. N scolds Zorua shortly before the two pass, leaving them unable to witness Black's final battle against Ghetsis. After Ghetsis is defeated, N wakes up. N, having his worldview changed, decides to leave Unova to follow his own path. Leaving Zorua behind, N and Zekrom fly off to parts unknown.

===Personality and characteristics===
Zekrom is a powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, easily competing with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. {{adv|Black}} was quickly overwhelmed by Zekrom's power, feeling as though his mind and body were being crushed by its presence. Zekrom has a close relationship with [[N]], choosing N to be his Hero of Ideals. N was also able to quickly connect with Zekrom because of his ideals.

'''Zinzolin's Kyurem''' (Japanese: '''ヴィオのキュレム''' ''Vio's Kyurem'') is the third Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the original Dragon who is owned by [[Zinzolin]].

===History===
Prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, Kyurem was part of a single powerful Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by twin heroes who created the [[Unova]] region. When the Dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third Dragon created from what remained was born. This Dragon Pokémon, named Kyurem, belonged to neither Truth nor Ideals.

Two years prior to the start of the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Kyurem was captured by [[Zinzolin]] at the [[Giant Chasm]]. Kyurem first appears in [[PS536]], appearing before Zinzolin and [[Colress]] in the [[Cold Storage]]. Colress is quickly impressed by the Boundary Pokémon and demands that Zinzolin give him Kyurem. Zinzolin refuses and has Kyurem attack Colress.

===Personality and characteristics===
Kyurem is a powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, able to keep the [[Cold Storage]] at freezing temperatures with just its presence. Kyurem is described by [[Zinzolin]] as an empty shell, that is not marred by truth and ideals.

'''''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　サン{{tt|＆|アンド}}ムーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon''), referred to by fans as the '''''Sun & Moon'' series''', is the sixth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]].

[[Ash Ketchum]] heads off to a new region, [[Alola]], wearing a new set of clothes with his partner {{AP|Pikachu}}. He receives a [[Z-Ring]] and becomes a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]].

A new art style is implemented for the third series in a row, this time more drastically than the series that preceded it, with characters being drawn with a much more exaggerated, rounded, "cartoony" style.

Episodes in the ''Sun & Moon'' series are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''SM''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Sun & Moon series episodes|list of ''Sun & Moon'' series episodes]].

==Dub seasons==

'''Clemont's Dedenne''' (Japanese: '''シトロンのデデンネ''' ''Citron's Dedenne'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{an|Clemont}} caught during his journey through [[Kalos]], and his fifth overall. He captured him at {{an|Bonnie}}'s request so she can care for him as she is not old enough yet to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

==History==
====As a wild Pokémon====
[[File:Clemont and Dedenne.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont and Dedenne]]
{{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} first encountered Dedenne in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility]]'' during their journey to [[Santalune City]]. Bonnie was eager to care for the cute Pokémon, and asked Clemont if he would catch him for her to allow her to raise and take with her when she was old enough to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Clemont agreed, and Ash helped her; however, Dedenne ran off crying when a {{AP|Fletchling}} stole the berry he had harvested from the tree. After the same Fletchling was captured by Ash, Dedenne was last seen watching the group as they leave.

Soon after, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Dedenne reappeared to the group and stole some food and the gang gave chase. This resulted in {{AP|Pikachu}} getting lost alongside Dedenne. The two became friends, and managed to save each other from {{TRT}}. After reuniting with the group and defeating Team Rocket, Clemont captured Dedenne and then allowed him out of his [[Poké Ball]] so he could stay with Bonnie in her satchel.

====With Clemont and Bonnie====
In ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', Bonnie used him in a battle against Clemont's Chespin. Due to Chespin being overweight at the time, it tripped during its attack, falling near Dedenne where a single Thunder Shock defeated the {{t|Grass}} type, giving him and Bonnie the win.

In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', while the group was resting at a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Lyn]] took Bonnie's bag, mistaking it for her own since the two bags looked so similar. Since he was resting inside earlier, Dedenne was accidentally taken by Lyn and her older sister [[Lena]]. When he woke up, he accompanied Lyn while she tried to find her {{p|Pichu}}. Lyn also gave him a red ribbon, which was used for identification when she lost Dedenne. When Clemont used his "Radiowave Amplification Device" to amplify Pikachu's energy waves, Dedenne found them and began to follow them to a vineyard where they were both attacked by {{p|Beedrill}}. Though he fought off one of the Beedrill with Thunder Shock, he was attacked by several more. Eventually, he was saved by Pikachu and reunited with Bonnie. He later had dinner with Ash, {{ashfr}}, Lyn and Lena but he was not hungry as he was given lots of snacks by Lyn during the day.
[[File:Ash Goodra Clemont Dedenne.png|thumb|left|250px|Dedenne and Goodra]]
In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Dedenne tried to be friendly to [[Ash's Goomy]], but it was afraid of Dedenne as Goomy, a {{type|Dragon}}, was weak against {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon. Team Rocket showed up and attempted to capture everyone's Pokémon, and were attacked by startled {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Lombre}}, and Dedenne was separated along with Goomy, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, {{an|Serena}}, and Bonnie. Dedenne tried to give Goomy leaves on the way to help regain its energy but it was still scared. Later when Serena was battling Team Rocket with Pancham, he used Nuzzle on Pancham after he got {{status|Confusion|confused}} and, under Bonnie's command, teamed up with Pancham to defeat Team Rocket. Afterwards he followed Goomy's slimy trail after it ran away, due to the battle reminding it how its original home was destroyed by {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. He traveled through a small hole to reach Goomy, who was about to be captured by Team Rocket. He battled them again, but was almost defeated until Goomy, who saw that Dedenne was trying to help it, used {{m|Rain Dance}}, distracting them long enough for Ash and friends to find them, leading to Team Rocket being defeated once more. Overcoming its fear of Dedenne, Goomy affectionately nibbled on Dedenne's ear, which made Dedenne happy.

Despite officially belonging to Clemont, in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Dedenne stayed with Bonnie when Clemont left for Lumiose City by himself.

In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', Ash and the gang reunited with Goodra at the wetlands. Dedenne was shown to be very excited, as he was the first one to reach Goodra. Later, when Team Rocket trapped six {{p|Carbink}} in one of their cages used to capture Pokémon and was discussing over what to do with them, Dedenne, who was eavesdropping, attempted to free them. He first tried nibbling on the corners of the cage, and when that didn't work, he used Nuzzle in attempt to break the cage. Not only did that not work, but the ruckus also attracted the attention of Team Rocket. Team Rocket promptly sent out their Pokémon to chase Dedenne away. Dedenne ran right into Bonnie, who was looking for Dedenne, and upon seeing Team Rocket's Pokémon chasing Dedenne, she ran away and followed Dedenne back to the group. With this, Team Rocket began attacking the wetlands with their Carbink mecha. After defeating Team Rocket and retreating to relax in a cavern pool, Dedenne was shown happily diving off of Goodra's head and into the water.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Dedenne and the rest of Clemont's Pokémon received medals from [[Professor Sycamore]] for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Dedenne noticed Bonnie feeling sad, since the group would soon separate. At the airport, while everyone said their goodbyes, Dedenne became upset and ran off. He was eventually located by Pikachu, who used his electricity, and was comforted by Bonnie. Afterwards, Dedenne bade farewell to Ash, Pikachu, and Serena.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Bonnie and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie taking care of Dedenne]]
[[File:Clemont Dedenne sleeping.png|thumb|left|250px|Dedenne's habit of sleeping]]
It was made clear in his very first appearance that Dedenne is a gluttonous Pokémon. In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', his desire for a berry was strong enough that he was willing to fight Pikachu over it, and he only approached Bonnie because she had the berry in her hand. He reappeared to the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' to steal food. Dedenne is also a bit timid, as shown in his debut when he got upset when Fletchling swooped in and ate the berry Bonnie had for it. In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', although initially unresponsive to her, Dedenne becomes very close to Bonnie, as he is often seen in either her hair or satchel. Dedenne is also prone to sleep while he is conserving his electrical energy, although he does so at the most inconvenient times, such as when he slept during attacks by {{TRT}} in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]'' and ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]''. However, Dedenne has been shown to be a competent battler when he is focused, and has no problem taking commands from either his Trainer or carer. Dedenne can sometimes be an affectionate Pokémon as shown in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' and ''[[XY022|Going For the Gold!]]'', when Bonnie nuzzles Dedenne, she causes him to use {{m|Nuzzle}}, giving Bonnie a shock. In ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', he has been shown to be affectionate to others as well.

Dedenne has special relationships with a few specific Pokémon. In particular, he has a sibling-like relationship with [[Ash's Pikachu]], looking up to and respecting him. The two of them often communicate using the electrical energy from their cheeks, such as in ''One for the Goomy!''. Ever since that episode, Dedenne has also had a remarkably strong friendship with [[Ash's Goodra]]. Although the latter was frightened of Dedenne [[XY055|at first]], they became friends once Goodra, as a Goomy, realized how much Dedenne cared about it and was willing to go to any lengths to keep it from harm. Their bond was also shown in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', when Dedenne gave Sliggoo a hug after they were reunited, ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', when Goodra shared its food with Dedenne, ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', when the two of them had to say goodbye to each other, and ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', where the two reunited after Goodra's long absence.

* Dedenne is incorrectly referred to as a female in the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese dub}} of ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]''.
** However, Dedenne was not yet confirmed to be male at this point.
*Dedenne is Clemont's only Pokémon not to have learned a new move since its capture.

'''Ash's Rowlet''' (Japanese: '''サトシのモクロー''' ''Satoshi's Mokuroh'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]].

==History==
[[File:Ash and Rowlet.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Rowlet]]
Rowlet was born into a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, led by a {{p|Toucannon}} and {{p|Trumbeak}}. In its [[SM004|debut episode]], it joined its flock to gather fruit from a town on [[Melemele Island]]. Rowlet mistook a wind chime for food, and brought its bounty to its nest, only to be scolded by Trumbeak that evening and being sent back to gather more.

The next day, a tired Rowlet noticed a sweet smell being produced by [[Mallow's Bounsweet]]. Believing it to be fruit, Rowlet tried to take Bounsweet, only to be deflected each time it tried. Eventually, an exhausted Rowlet fell out of the sky, but was caught in time by {{Ash}}. It was then given a bunch of fruit to eat and after finishing its meal, it took a watermelon and returned to its nest, prompting Ash and {{an|Mallow}} to follow it.

Ash and Mallow soon found Rowlet's nest, but their reunion was cut short by {{TRT}}, who arrived to take back the [[berry|berries]] the flock had taken from {{DL|List of recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Bewear}}. After trapping the flock in nets, Team Rocket set their sights on {{AP|Pikachu}}. While Pikachu battled [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], Rowlet freed its friends and then used {{m|Leafage}} to save Pikachu from Mimikyu's attack. Before the battle could go on any longer, Bewear returned and carried Team Rocket back to its den. Ash thanked Rowlet for saving the day before saying goodbye, not wanting to separate it from its family in its nest. Seeing how it wanted to join Ash, Toucannon gave Rowlet its permission to leave the nest. Rowlet happily dove into Ash's [[bag|backpack]] and waved goodbye to its family. Delighted, Ash threw a {{ball|Poké}} at Rowlet and caught it.

Rowlet participated in its first official {{pkmn|battle}} in [[SM008]], in which it battled {{OBP|James|SM008}} and his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Oricorio|Pom-Pom Style}} {{p|Oricorio}}. James showed his great battling skills by having Oricorio gracefully dodge Rowlet's attacks and shock it afterwards using {{m|Revelation Dance}}. Furthermore, Oricorio was able to counter Rowlet's moves with {{m|Mirror Move}}. Rowlet, however, was able to overpower Oricorio and knock it back using its sheer leg strength. Eventually, Oricorio used {{m|Teeter Dance}} which {{status|confusion|confused}} Rowlet, allowing the Dancing Pokémon to knock it out with {{m|Double Slap}}.

In [[SM009]], Rowlet was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside Pikachu, it first fought a {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Rowlet and Pikachu's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using its Leafage, allowing it to knock Yungoos out with {{m|Tackle}}, while Pikachu defeated Gumshoos. Afterwards, Rowlet and Pikachu had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. Rowlet attempted to assist Pikachu in battle, but was defeated by a single hit from Gumshoos's {{m|Rock Tomb}}.

In [[SM010]], Ash used Rowlet as his first Pokémon in the [[Melemele Island]] grand trial, where it battled against [[Hala]]'s {{p|Crabrawler}}. It managed to hit Crabrawler with a super effective {{m|Peck}} after dodging a {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Rowlet's attempt to hit a second Peck was stopped however, allowing Crabrawler to hurl it in the air using {{m|Brutal Swing}} followed by a hit from {{m|Power-Up Punch}}. Using a collision between Leafage and Bubble Beam, Rowlet turned the tables by sneaking up on Crabrawler and hit it with a series of Pecks. After barely dodging another Power-Up Punch, it managed to outmaneuver Crabrawler and defeat it with Tackle. Afterwards, Rowlet fell asleep, preventing Ash from using it for the next battle.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Rowlet personality.png|thumb|250px|Rowlet showing its personality]]
Rowlet is somewhat naive and inexperienced. In its [[SM004|debut episode]], Rowlet brought a wind chime from a market on [[Melemele Island]] to its nest, thinking it was {{pkmn|food}}. It also attempted to take [[Mallow's Bounsweet]] to its nest multiple times, despite being attacked by her every time it tried. Rowlet also seems to be a very relaxed Pokémon, as shown in [[SM005]], when it spent most of the episode not being bothered by what was going on around it, whether that includes being splashed by water or being kidnapped by {{TRT}}. Rowlet is often seen sleeping during the day, only waking up when it is needed by someone else, such as its Trainer. This character trait was shown in [[SM009]] when Ash called Rowlet out to battle against {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}}, only to find it sleeping, in need of awakening. In its time as a wild Pokémon, it was even seen nodding off while being lectured by its caretaker, {{p|Trumbeak}}.

Ash and Rowlet quickly bonded after meeting each other. Rowlet likes roosting and sleeping in his backpack. Like other members of its species, Rowlet is capable of flying silently, as first shown in [[SM009]]. In [[SM010]], Ash noticed this and used its ability to get the upper hand over [[Hala]] and his {{p|Crabrawler}}.

'''Ash's Bulbasaur''' (Japanese: '''サトシのフシギダネ''' ''Satoshi's Fushigidane'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] region, and his fourth overall as well as the first of the original [[starter Pokémon]] that Ash acquired.

==History==
===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur debut.png|thumb|200px|left|Bulbasaur in its debut]]
Bulbasaur first appearance was in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. When {{an|Misty}} tried to capture a wild {{p|Oddish}}, Bulbasaur rushed to Oddish's aid, easily defeating both her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} with {{m|Tackle}} and [[Ash's Butterfree]] by blowing his own {{m|Sleep Powder}} back onto him.

Later, the group met [[Melanie]], who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. She revealed that she had raised Bulbasaur, that it acted as the village's bodyguard, and was blatantly hostile to all {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

Later, {{TRT}} attacked the village and attempted to steal all of the Pokémon with an enormous vacuum. Bulbasaur managed to save Oddish at the last second, and was touched when Ash dashed out to help him get to safety. It then used {{m|Vine Whip}} to deflect the vacuum and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} drove Team Rocket away. After Team Rocket's defeat, Melanie encouraged Bulbasaur to join Ash, explaining that its growth was being stunted by staying too long in the village. Bulbasaur agreed to join him once Ash defeated it in battle. Bulbasaur put up an excellent fight against {{AP|Pikachu}}, using its vines to seize and smash Pikachu onto the ground repeatedly. However, a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} fried Bulbasaur and stunned it long enough for Ash to capture it.

Bulbasaur was first used in a battle to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where it joined a group of other Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip on the Grunts. Its vines were also used to help the gang and Team Rocket escape from the sinking ship in [[EP016|the next episode]].

Bulbasaur's Gym battle debut occurred in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where it fought [[Erika]]'s {{p|Tangela}}. It attempted to use Vine Whip, but Tangela used {{m|Constrict}} to pull it in close and defeated it with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle [[Koga]]'s sister, {{an|Aya}}, and her {{p|Venonat}}. After dodging Bulbasaur's Tackle, Venonat fired its Stun Spore. Bulbasaur, however, countered by {{m|Whirlwind|blowing away}} the spores and used Vine Whip. Venonat was able to dodge Bulbasaur's vines and hit Bulbasaur with a super-effective {{m|Psybeam}}. Bulbasaur, however, was able to endure the hit and after dodging another Psybeam it defeated Venonat with {{m|Leech Seed}}.

In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Bulbasaur was called out by Ash to battle [[Duplica's Ditto]]. Ditto immediately {{m|Transform|transformed}} into Bulbasaur and blocked an incoming {{m|Razor Leaf}} with Vine Whip. It then used Vine Whip to enwrap Bulbasaur. Unable to do anything, Ash forfeited the match.

In ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', Ash used Bulbasaur in the tournament to decide who got to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It faced Misty's unintentional entrant {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and easily defeated the Duck Pokémon by licking and tickling it. However, the win meant nothing as Togepi chose Misty as its Trainer anyway.
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur fight evolution.png|220px|thumb|Ash's Bulbasaur resisting evolution]]
Bulbasaur had the opportunity to [[Evolution|evolve]] in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''. Bulbasaur was used in a battle against a {{tc|Hiker}}'s {{p|Rhyhorn}}. While Rhyhorn headed forwards using {{m|Take Down}}, Bulbasaur tried stopping it with Leech Seed. Bulbasaur, however, failed to do so and was hit hard. Ash tried recalling Bulbasaur, but it refused to return to its Poké Ball, wanting to continue the battle. As Rhyhorn charged in for another attack, Bulbasaur struck it with Razor Leaf and followed up with Vine Whip, knocking it out. Ash then noticed Bulbasaur had collapsed and that its bulb had started glowing and immediately rushed to the [[Pokémon Center]]. At the Pokémon Center, [[Nurse Joy]] revealed Bulbasaur was almost ready to evolve and that the evolution of {{p|Bulbasaur}} takes place at a special festival in the Mysterious Garden. That night, Pikachu noticed Bulbasaur leaving the Pokémon Center and the two had a conversation. Suddenly, Bulbasaur was grabbed by multiple vines belonging to a group of Bulbasaur and was taken away. While Pikachu went to get the others, Bulbasaur was taken to the Mysterious Garden where the evolutionary festival was about to take place. While all other Bulbasaur evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, Ash's Bulbasaur refused to do so, despite facing the mass of Ivysaur as well as a {{p|Venusaur}}, who were angry at it for ruining the festival. Ash then intervened and stood up for Bulbasaur and its decision not to evolve. Then Team Rocket appeared and used a vacuum to try to capture all Ivysaur and Venusaur. Since Bulbasaur didn't evolve, it was able to learn {{m|Solar Beam}} and used its new move to free the Ivysaur and blast Team Rocket off. Venusaur then approached Bulbasaur and extended a vine to it as a gesture of respect. Bulbasaur, Ash and the others then left the garden, having made amends with the Ivysaur and Venusaur.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs Princess]]'', Bulbasaur, along with Pikachu and [[Brock's Vulpix]], was briefly lent to Misty to allow her to compete in the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]] with a more balanced team. In the first round of the tournament, Bulbasaur single-handedly defeated a Trainer's {{p|Kingler}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Cubone}} and {{p|Raticate}}. Later, it was also seen defeating a {{p|Graveler}}. Bulbasaur was called out again in the finals to battle [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. Bulbasaur tried attacking with Vine Whip, but its vines were tied by Lickitung's huge tongue got and licked, causing it to faint.

In ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]'', Bulbasaur was sent out to fight Team Rocket, who were fighting in {{an|Giovanni}}'s stead in the [[Viridian Gym]]. It faced Giovanni's {{p|Kingler}}. Despite the type-advantage, Bulbasaur was hit hard by Kingler, who blocked Vine Whip with {{m|Harden}} and then hit back with {{m|Bubble}}.

Bulbasaur had only one battle in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'' against [[Jeanette Fisher]]. Bulbasaur first faced Jeanette's {{p|Beedrill}}. Beedrill started off with Tackle, but Bulbasaur managed to dodge it and retaliated with Razor Leaf. Beedrill, however, used its great speed to dodge the attack and force Bulbasaur to take evasive actions by continuously attacking with {{m|Twineedle}} and {{m|Poison Sting}}. Eventually, Bulbasaur managed to fire off a Leech Seed, crippling Beedrill giving it the chance to finish the Poison Bee Pokémon off with Tackle. Jeanette's next Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}, which produced similar trouble for Ash as Bulbasaur was forced to dodge Scyther's speedy {{m|Slash}} and {{m|Swift}} attacks. Bulbasaur tried stopping Scyther with Vine Whip, but it simply knocked its vines away while continuing to attack. Scyther then went for {{m|Double Team}}, confusing Bulbasaur. Ash ordered Bulbasaur to attack with Vine Whip, but it only hit the clones, giving Scyther the chance to hit Bulbasaur with Slash. Scyther continued to use this strategy to constantly hit Bulbasaur, giving it no time to succesfully counterattack. As Bulbasaur was thrown in the air by another hit, Ash had Bulbasaur use Vine Whip to hit every single clone and knock out the real Scyther. Looking set to sweep the match with just Bulbasaur, Ash then took on Jeanette's {{p|Bellsprout}}. Bulbasaur used Tackle, but Bellsprout was able to absorb the attack using its flexible body, before seizing Bulbasaur and {{m|Slam|slamming}} it onto the ground until it fainted.

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

====Orange Archipelago====
In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Bulbasaur was used in the second round of Ash's Gym challenge against [[Danny]]. It attempted to help Pikachu carve a frozen geyser into an ice sled, but was unable to keep up with Danny's team until {{AP|Charizard}} completed it in a few short {{m|Flamethrower}}s. Bulbasaur was later used again in the final round, where it helped Ash, Pikachu and {{AP|Squirtle}} in the sled race down the cliff, using its vines to steer. Thanks to everyone's cooperation, Ash was able to cross the finish line first, winning Ash the challenge and earning him the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', due to one of Team Rocket's schemes, Ash and {{ashfr}} found themselves in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]], where they came across a giant vined creature. Ash sent out Bulbasaur to attack the creature, but it used its vines to deflect Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf and then proceeded to grab and take Bulbasaur underwater. After learning more about the vined creature from the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] as well as about his plans to exterminate it, the group decided to head back to the sewers to save the creature and Bulbasaur from the Mayor's personal SWAT team. With help from {{AP|Muk}}, Ash was able to find Bulbasaur and its captor, a mutated giant Bulbasaur that had been abandoned by the town's Mayor. Bulbasaur later saved its new friend by helping it sending the Mayor and the SWAT team flying.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Ash had Bulbasaur, alongside Pikachu and Squirtle, destroy a succession of targets in order to challenge [[Rudy]] to a Gym battle. The next day, Ash used Bulbasaur in the second round, the {{type|Grass}} round, of his Gym battle against Rudy, where it fought against Rudy's {{p|Exeggutor}}. Exeggutor was able to dodge Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf attacks using its dance moves and then knocked Bulbasaur down with {{m|Egg Bomb}}. While being cornered by Exeggutor, Bulbasaur quickly saved the battle by putting Exeggutor to sleep with Sleep Powder. As Exeggutor was unable to battle, the second round victory went to Ash.

In ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'', Ash used Bulbasaur as his fifth Pokémon in a [[Full Battle]] against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} for the [[Orange League]] championship. It faced off against Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}}. Bulbasaur managed to shake off a {{m|Thunder Shock}} and then hit Electabuzz with Razor Leaf. Its leaves, however, were then destroyed by Thunderbolt and although Bulbasaur managed to get a hit in with Tackle, it was struck by Electabuzz's {{m|Thunder Punch}}, knocking it out. Drake was eventually defeated and Bulbasaur joined the rest of Ash's team in the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]].

====Johto====
Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. This began the recurring joke of Heracross wanting to suck the pollen from Bulbasaur's bulb. Throughout the Johto journeys, Bulbasaur's oldest team members {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} both went into training with others, leaving Bulbasaur as Ash's only remaining Kanto starter. In ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle against a {{p|Chikorita}} that Ash had interest in catching. It was recalled after being hurt by the small Grass-type Pokémon and was congratulated by Ash for its effort. Bulbasaur was used in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', where Ash ordered it to find Chikorita. It would again be irritated by Heracross, who after getting deployed by Ash against Team Rocket, wasted no time in trying to suck the pollen out of Bulbasaur's bulb. Bulbasaur scolded its teammate and hit Heracross with its vines.
[[File:Ash and Bulbasaur.png|200px|thumb|Ash and Bulbasaur]]
It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''. Bulbasaur fought for Ash against Misty for the second time in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It seemingly defeated {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} with a Razor Leaf, but Poliwag evolved into {{p|Poliwhirl}} and fought back with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}. After taking damage from Bubble, Bulbasaur flattened Poliwhirl with Solar Beam, winning the match for Ash. It also had a rematch with {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos!]]'', using Tackle to defeat Venonat from above. In ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'', the Fighting Dojo Master [[Kenzo]] was impressed with Ash and Bulbasaur after Bulbasaur's swift defeat of a runaway Tauros, to the point that he contemplated making Ash his successor as master of the Dojo despite his current lack of Fighting Pokémon as Bulbasaur had all the skills of a Fighting-type. Bulbasaur was then used against [[Chigusa]]'s [[Hitmontop (Pokémon)|Hitmontop]] to determine whether Ash or Chigusa would be the successor, but Ash still rejected the offer and instead offered Chigusa some training pointers for the future. In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Bulbasaur was entered in the 45th annual [[Grass Tournament]], reaching the finals after Team Rocket was disqualified for dressing {{MTR}} up as a {{p|Sunflora}}. Bulbasaur looked set to win the final, but [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} learned Solar Beam and won the tournament.

Bulbasaur remained with Ash until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when it was sent back to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. It proved to be a natural leader, first solving the territorial disputes between the warring {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Jumpluff}} factions, and the {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Water}} Pokémon by ordering and leading the construction of a new lake. It came very close to peril when it saved an Oddish from an enormous falling boulder, but revealed that it had learned Dig just in time to save itself. Oak remarked to {{Tracey}} that Bulbasaur was a perfect example of a Pokémon being able to call on powers unheard of in extreme situations. After resolving this dispute, Ash and Oak agreed to allow Bulbasaur to reside at Oak's lab for an indefinite period, finally rotating it out of his team.

It was called on in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where it fought in the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Jackson]]'s {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. It quickly learned from Pikachu and {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s mistakes, instead using a spinning Vine Whip to mow through the afterimages from Double Team. It blocked Magneton's attacks with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, before taking it down with Leech Seed and Vine Whip. It then took on his {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}, with whom it had a bitter rivalry after the Herb Pokémon had mocked it earlier. Neither Pokémon attempted to dodge the other's attacks, both willing to be able to take as much as the other. It came down to a battle of Vine Whips and a double Solar Beam, which knocked out both Pokémon.

==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
[[File:High vine.png|200px|thumb|With [[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]|left]]
Bulbasaur was seen in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', and was one of the first Pokémon to realize there was something wrong. It later defeated [[Butch's Hitmontop]] and used a Solar Beam on the whole group.

In ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', May showed her [[May's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]] to Professor Oak, which made Ash decide to bring his Bulbasaur over for a visit. When the Poké Ball arrived though, it wouldn't open, making everyone believe that the Pokémon Center's balls had been stolen. It was revealed to be Team Rocket, who accidentally dropped Ash's Bulbasaur while escaping. The two Bulbasaur teamed up to stop Team Rocket, with Ash's Bulbasaur teaching May's along the way. Once they found Team Rocket, the Bulbasaur battled against them, with Ash's Bulbasaur protecting and teaching May's how to fight. After rescuing the Pokémon, Professor Oak called back and asked for Ash's Bulbasaur to return and stop the Water and Grass Pokémon from fighting. Ash sent his Bulbasaur back to Professor Oak's Laboratory as May's Bulbasaur appeared to have made a positive change from the experience.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
Bulbasaur later returned in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', where May decided to leave her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's so she could learn from Ash's Bulbasaur.

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', Ash brought it to his team alongside {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} to battle {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. After Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} took down Charizard, Ash's Bulbasaur was sent out to fight in [[AG190|the next episode]]. It took damage from the powerful Dusclops, including a {{m|Confuse Ray}} which sent the vines out of control and caused them to attack Bulbasaur and Ash. Bulbasaur responded to Ash's cries and broke out of confusion, leaping into the air and taking down Dusclops with Solar Beam. After {{p|Solrock}} took down Squirtle, Bulbasaur was sent back out. After taking damage from {{type|Psychic}} moves and responding with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, a double Solar Beam knocked both Pokémon out. After Ash won, Bulbasaur returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Bulbasaur and Pikachu.png|thumb|230px|right|Bulbasaur greeting Pikachu, in the {{series|BW}}]]
Bulbasaur made a cameo in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], where {{AP|Heracross}} was sucking sap from its bulb, much to Bulbasaur's annoyance. It used Vine Whip to shove Heracross away. Bulbasaur was not called upon for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
Bulbasaur appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

Bulbasaur later appeared in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's corral]], where it was being filmed by [[Alexa]]. It later had a happy reunion with Ash and Pikachu, before signalling to Ash's Unova Pokémon with its Solar Beam. It later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

==Personality and characteristics==

[[File:Ash Bulbasaur illusion Venusaur.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Bulbasaur terrified of a giant illusionary Venusaur]]
Bulbasaur is one of Ash's most mature Pokémon, and is frequently viewed as the responsible leader of Ash's Pokémon, especially due to its actions at both Melanie's Hidden Village and Professor Oak's lab. In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it showed that it had learned from its experiences by recognizing a trap that Ash's Johto starters could not.

Unlike its closest friend, the boisterous and immature {{AP|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur was cautious bordering on cynical of all Trainers when it joined Ash's team, going so far as to physically attack {{an|Misty}} when it thought she was trying to take an Oddish away. In ''[[EP017|Island of Giant Pokémon]]'', it alone assumed that Ash had abandoned them. Its views on Trainers were presumably colored by all the abandoned Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Over time, Bulbasaur grew to trust its new Trainer, but it retained a stubborn, surly, and eager-to-battle demeanor. For example, in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', it dodged Ash's call to return and insisted on finishing the battle. This hard personality was briefly softened during a visit to a garden full of exotic plants run by [[Florinda Showers]], where Bulbasaur developed a certain affection for her {{p|Gloom}}, but nothing apparently came of it.

Although Bulbasaur is one of Ash's most mature Pokémon, it has succumb to fits of immaturity when Squirtle is involved. This is seen multiple times in disagreements or quarrels between the two. In ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]'', after Squirtle accidentally eats Bulbasaur's Bulbasaur-shaped cookie, despite being apologetic, Bulbasaur still chases and attacks Squirtle. In ''[[PK03|Kanga Games]]'', Pikachu, Togepi and a baby Kangaskhan ride past Bulbasaur and Squirtle on a sled. Eager to join in, Bulbasaur flips Squirtle onto its back and uses Squirtle as an involuntary makeshift sled.

Its biggest fear appears to be of its fully evolved form, {{p|Venusaur}}, demonstrated in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', both times where it was paralyzed in fear by fake Venusaur. Interestingly enough, it defied the wishes of the first real Venusaur it encountered, demonstrating that Bulbasaur is a courageous Pokémon when standing up for something it believes in.

===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
Ash's Bulbasaur appears in ''[[SP11|Do Your Best Bulbasaur!!]]'' of the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga. Ash sent it over to {{an|Professor Oak}} when the Pokémon in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his lab]] were getting into a fight. With Bulbasaur's help, the Pokémon learned to work together.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's Bulbasaur in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Bulbasaur makes an appearance in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It first appears in the eighth chapter, ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Bulbasaur's capture is not depicted in the manga; it is simply stated when Bulbasaur appears out of its [[Poké Ball]] that "Ash has been busy since the last comic."

When on a walk with {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[ET09|I'm Your Venusaur]]'', Bulbasaur meets many other Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur. It learns of a local legend stating that a tree in the town was made from the guardian spirit of a 300-year-old Venusaur. Disbelieving the legend, Bulbasaur, Pikachu and a wild Ivysaur climb the tree and search for it. In this chapter, when the Pokémon dialogue is translated for readers, Bulbasaur states that Ash "uses me in battle all the time".

In ''[[ET10|Clefairy in Space]]'', Bulbasaur is used against Team Rocket and ties up Jessie with its Vine Whip.

In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', Bulbasaur faced off against Jeanette Fisher's {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. After defeating Beedrill, Bulbasaur was defeated by a powerful {{m|Slam}} attack from Bellsprout.

In ''[[ET15|Attack of the Demon Stomach]]'', Bulbasaur was used to stop a hungry {{p|Snorlax}} from eating all of the fruit on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]]. Its first few attacks had no effect; later, Bulbasaur saved Ash from being eaten with its Vine Whip.

Bulbasaur appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. Bulbasaur wiggled a little while swinging its vines around to dance. Later, it was used to battle Rudy's {{p|Exeggutor}} in the second round of their three-on-three battle. Due to Exeggutor's terrifying face, Bulbasaur was paralyzed with fear, unable to attack. Luckily it managed to use Sleep Powder to put Exeggutor to sleep, allowing Bulbasaur to win the match; afterwards, Bulbasaur cried in Ash's arms.

===In the movie adaptations===
Bulbasaur first appeared in ''{{ma|Mewtwo Strikes Back!}}'' where it fought [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}} and won easily. In ''{{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}'', Ash sent out Bulbasaur to free the prisons that were set up by [[Lawrence III]].

==Trivia==
* Its gender was hinted at in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. In the subtitles, it refers to itself as おれ ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|ore}}'', which is a pronoun normally used by males, which is also used by characters such as {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[James]] in the Japanese version.
** In the dub of ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', it was implied by Ash that Bulbasaur is male. When Melanie asked Ash if Bulbasaur would make a good addition to his team, Ash said "Would ''he'' ever," implying that it is male.
* Bulbasaur is Ash's only Pokémon who refused to [[Evolution|evolve]] after the process began.
* In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', Bulbasaur sings a song called "Bulbasaur's Bulbaby" in order to keep Togepi happy. [[Pokédex|Dexter]] reports this as the first recording of the song.
* Bulbasaur, after {{AP|Pikachu}}, is the Pokémon Ash has owned for the longest time period.
* The ''[[XY series]]'' is so far the only series where Bulbasaur does not appear in.

Pokémon the Series: XY

2016-10-27T13:46:30Z

Rockruff16: This is not the only series where the female returns. The original didn't have any at the time. Plus, James didn't catch a Grass type in Kalos.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''XY'' series}}
{{search|fifth [[series]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}|the series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]|Pokémon Trading Card Game#XY Series|Pokémon Trading Card Game → XY Series}} ''For other uses, see [[XY]].''

[[File:XY series logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters: XY'']]

'''''Pokémon the Series: XY''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{tt|ＸＹ|エックスワイ}}''' ''Pocket Monsters XY''), referred to by fans as the '''''XY'' series''', is the fifth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VI]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows the {{series|Best Wishes}} and was succeeded by the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. It ran from October 17, 2013 to October 27, 2016 in Japan, and premiered on January 18, 2014 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in the United States on October 19, 2013.

As with the previous three series, the ''XY'' series began with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new region with his {{AP|Pikachu}} while wearing a new set of clothes. His previous companions, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}, left the series. Joining him this time are {{an|Serena}}, a new Trainer who previously met Ash in her childhood; {{an|Clemont}}, an aspiring inventor and scientist who is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]]; and {{an|Bonnie}}, Clemont's younger sister. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} continue to follow Ash and his friends through the Kalos region, and have gone back to their more traditional methods of capturing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and other Pokémon, although their appearances are less frequent, just like in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] returns to her roster. This series also features a series of [[side story episodes]] following the adventures of a Trainer named [[Alain]], who is working to find [[Mega Stone]]s and defeat all [[Mega Evolution]]s using his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X. In the ''XY&Z'' season, Ash and his friends journey continues as their story merges with the plot of the Mega Evolution specials, with the group becoming involved with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Zygarde}} and the [[Villainous teams|villainous organization]] [[Team Flare]].

A new art style was instituted at the beginning of the series. A notable difference is that the stock 'effect' backgrounds have been almost entirely removed (only appearing so far in cases where a main character captures a Pokémon or whenever Ash wins a Gym Badge). The characters are consistently drawn with fingernails. Also, the character models (as seen in the artworks) are slightly taller in comparison to the previous four series. In addition, much like the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation III]] onwards, a [[a:Category:Anime versus screens|''VS.'' player overview screen]] appears before starting some battles and {{pkmn|Showcase}} rounds. Similarly to ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', {{Ash}} also receives a physical redesign, now having softer and slightly smaller birthmarks on his cheeks, his hair covers the top of his ears and is spikier, and he has more locks on his forehead.

So far, it has been divided into three [[season]]s for audiences outside of Japan.

Episodes in the ''XY'' series are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''XY''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of XY series episodes|list of ''XY'' series episodes]].

==Japanese seasons==
The ''XY'' series has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release, similar to the "chapters" of the {{series|original}} and {{series|Best Wishes}}.

* ''Pocket Monsters XY'' (ポケットモンスター{{tt|ＸＹ|エックスワイ}}) ([[XY001]] - [[XY093]])
* ''Pocket Monsters XY&Z'' (ポケットモンスター{{tt|ＸＹ＆Ｚ|エックスワイ　アンド　ゼット}}) ([[XY094]] - [[XY140]])

==Dub seasons==
Unlike what was previously done, when the ''XY'' series came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was localized as a whole. While it is still divided into seasons, they share a common title:
* [[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]] ([[XY001]] - [[XY023]], [[XY025]] - [[XY049]])
* [[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest]] ([[XY050]] - [[XY051]], [[XY024]], [[XY052]] - [[XY093]])
* [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] ([[XY094]] - ongoing)

==Movies==
* ''[[M17|Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''
* ''[[M18|Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''
* ''[[M19|Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''

==Trivia==
* This is the only series in which:
** {{Ash}} has two female [[Ash's friends|long-term traveling companions]].
** Ash and [[James]] do not use any {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
** The [[starter Pokémon]] that Ash and his friends obtain all come directly from the [[region]]'s major [[Pokémon Professor]].
** Ash begins with a companion from the previous series: he traveled to [[Kalos]] with [[Alexa]].
** Ash keeps three Pokémon of the same [[type]] in his [[party]] at one time, with three {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Ash fully [[Evolution|evolves]] all of the Pokémon he caught in the series.
** [[Ash's Goodra|One]] of Ash's [[released Pokémon]] returns in the same region it got released, and actually rejoins his party.
** Ash reaches the finals of the [[Pokémon League Conference]].
** Ash releases a [[starter Pokémon]].
** Ash does not [[Ashley|cross-dress]].
** Neither {{an|Brock}} or [[Tracey]] appear in the flesh or in flashbacks.
** The [[Magikarp salesman]] does not appear.
** {{an|Professor Oak}} does not meet Ash's {{ashfr|traveling companions}} in person.
** None of Ash's Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] appear.
* The ''XY'' series shares a few similarities with the {{series|Advanced Generation}}:
** Ash is traveling with three companions instead of two.
** Two of the traveling companions are siblings, with one of them being too young to have Pokémon of their own.
*** Both sets of siblings are related to the fifth [[Gym Leader]] of their respective region, and both older siblings tried to hide this fact at first.
**** This [[Gym]] is also the first one that Ash attempts to challenge in the region.
** Ash receives only one starter Pokémon in the region and fully evolves it.
** Ash's female companion does not have a specific goal in mind at the beginning of their {{pkmn|journey}}, but later becomes inspired to pursue a career that focuses more on displaying a Pokemon's style rather than its power: May aims to become a {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}, and Serena aims to become {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}.
*** Both were expected to pursue the same career as one of their parents: May was expected to become a Gym Leader like [[Norman|her father]], and Serena was expected to become a Rhyhorn racer like {{kal|Grace|her mother}}.
*** Both begin their journeys for unorthodox reasons: May to travel, and Serena to reunite with Ash.
*** Both start with the region's {{type|Fire}} starter Pokémon: May starts with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Serena starts with {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}. Both of their starter Pokémon evolved during the series.
*** Both obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, which later evolves into an [[Eeveelution]] native to the region they are currently in at the time of the Evolution.
*** Both had one last battle against Ash before departing.
** The three older main characters have one starter Pokémon each.
** At least one Gym features [[Double Battle]]s.
*** Both these Gyms specialized in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as well as being the seventh Gym Ash challenged in the respective regions.
** Both League Conferences started on the 125th episode and ended on the 131st episode of their respective series.
*** Ash uses only his current [[party]] Pokémon in the tournament instead of using any of his Pokémon from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
* This is the shortest completed series of the anime so far, with 140 episodes.
* The English dub of episodes from ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'' to ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'' were first aired in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}} before {{pmin|the United States}} (except the postponed episode ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'').
* The English dub of episodes from ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'' were first aired in {{pmin|Canada}} before the United States.
* In the Japanese version, the focus character in the title card segment changes depending on the episode, and usually that character also reads the title card. In the English dub, all episodes feature Ash as the focus character, except ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy]]'' (US airing only) which instead feature [[Bonnie]] as the focus character.
** In the Japanese version, starting in ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]'' the title card was updated to use Serena's new design. In the dub, the title card continued to use Serena's old design.
* This is the first series since the [[Original series]] in which Ash has lost two different Gym battles in the same region: he lost to [[Viola]] and [[Wulfric]].
** This is also the first series since the [[Original series]] where Ash's {{an|Iris|female companion}} from the previous series does not appear.
* Ash took longer to catch a full team of six Pokémon (including {{AP|Pikachu}}) in this series than any other series. He caught his sixth Pokémon when [[Ash's Goodra|his previously released Goodra]] returns for the [[Lumiose Conference]] in [[XY126|the 126th episode of this series]].
* This is the series in which Ash has caught the fewest number of Pokémon, having only caught five.

Talk:Talking Pokémon

2016-10-20T13:54:56Z

Rockruff16: /* Squishy, Dream Poke'mon, and Z2 */ new section

In PiPiPi, it's really only a handful that can speak human (Clefairy and Squirtle). The rest are presented in a different font, indicating that they're speaking their own language and that humans can just understand them. And Meowth's clone in the first movie and MR couldn't speak human. --BJG
:Did it ever really say that about the Pokemon in PiPiPi? It seems incongruous, especially since Almond keeps asking Hazel how she can understand Pikachu. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 21:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Should it be noted that Lucario's speach is granted through 'Aura?' The article points out when speach is a result of telepathy, so shouldn't aura recieve the same privalige?

also Deoxys talking through Meowth in Pokemon Ranger: Deoxys Crisis

What about noting that ash had to bring his squirtle out to translate what a wartortle was saying due to pikachu being unable to understand it in Beach Blank-Out Blastoise.

I vaguely remember I talking Dragonite at one point in the anime. Dose anyone else remember this?[[User:Ai Hikari|Ai Hikari]] 18:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

== [[EP090]] ==

Should this be mentioned? I know they aren't really talking but it does play on the idea of talking Pokémon. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

== Redirect ==

The article doesn't redirect to simply "Talking Pokemon". Since I don't really bother to type in the "é" when I'm searching for an article, I just started to type "Talking Pok" and when I put a normal "e", the articles under my typing that started the same disappeared. I started again and saw that "Talking Pokémon" and "Talking Pokmon" were the only ones. So... the article doesn't redirect to simple "e" titles, like other articles like [[Pokemon anime]] ([[Pokémon Anime]]). Somebody who knows how to redirect articles should really do that.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 03:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[articlenamehere]]</nowiki>
:There. Now you know how. '''~ [[User:Sol|s]][[User_talk:Sol|o]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|l]]''' 03:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

So, I got to "move" then I press this?

<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[articlenamehere]]</nowiki>

I'm thinking with also the "nowwiki".--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 03:44, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::...you like making things don't you? Or maybe I just didn't understand what you said. To make redirects, you ''only'' put down exactly as shown (not as written, as shown). So to redirect Pokemon anime to [[Pokémon anime]], you'd write "<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Pokémon anime]]</nowiki>" on the Pokemon anime page. But The Dark Fiddler already did that for Talking Pokemon so you don't need to worry about it anymore. '''~ [[User:Sol|s]][[User_talk:Sol|o]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|l]]''' 03:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

..... I'm not that good with template stuff..... I would make my own be keeping one on another tab then converting with how I'd want to make it look..... sorry..... thanks Fiddler.....--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 03:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

== Psychic ==

I've noticed that all Pokemon that talk in the Anime can learn psychic, except for Meowth, who learned to talk. Is this notable?--[[User:Skaisdead|Skaisdead]] 20:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:Lapras, Tentacruel, Gastly, and Shaymin beg to differ. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:55, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

In ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', Pikachu appears to be unable to understand Wartortle, and so brings out Squirtle, presumably to act as an interpreter.

== Human Language? ==

In the section where the article notes that "human language" is not clearly defined in the games it also points out that there are NPCs in generation 2 and 5 that speak foreign languages. I think it is also worthy to note the Rocket in generation 2 who stole the machine part from the Kanto power plant says that he comes from far away and doesn't know the local language very well, evidencing he speaks a foreign language, in generation 2.

== Frogadier's moves ==

With the new release of [[XY052]], Frogadier has learned Aerial Ace, and so far that was only move shown (possibly Cut as well, but I'm not sure about that one), so I changed it to only Aerial Ace being the recent move, however a user, JasonL changed it to Water Pulse, Bubble and Cut also being recent, since a Pokémon can only know four moves, I only put down Aerial Ace as recent since we cannot speculate on the other 3 moves kept until we see them in a episode (I wasn't sure what he meant by "Just think of the moves as so far" in his/her edit summary). Can anyone else confirm if I'm right or wrong since I don't want to start an edit war S 16:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC) - StephenWalker97

:: Not related to JasonL's post (and put :, ::, ::: when you add a new edit/discussion of text), but to those who keep adding Water Pulse and Double Team as recent, don't, even if its confirmed by other sources e.g. CoroCoro in a episode preview, you don't add it as recent until the episode in which Frogadier uses the new move airs.

:::I'm not involved, but...just wondering. If it's already known in the Japanese dub that, let's say, in [[XY055]] Frogadier uses Water Pulse (I'm not saying it does, I'm just saying let's assume it), why are we not putting that in now? Is it just something to do with waiting for the English dub to air before updating the article? The reason I ask is because articles on the various Pokémon are already updated based on happenings in episodes not aired in English; see [[Ash's Goomy]] for example. (And kind of a spoiler now.) So if we're trying to prevent spoilers, then Japanese airings should not update in here at all. Otherw3ise it's a double standard.

== Conflicting Perspective in Regards to Evolution ==

I remember that it was said that changes to articles of Pokemon evolving were "protected" and not changed to prevent speculation from getting rampant. But I don't see how its considered speculation when official sources straight out say that a main character's Pokemon is going to evolve. Like here, Frogadier is evolving into Greninja, there's no speculation here, it's been 110% confirmed by official sources. But then I thought about something else, is the actual reason why these type of articles remain the same until the evolution occurs because the evolution hasn't actually happened yet? I feel as if that makes more sense than because it doesn't change because it's cracking down on speculation that articles remain they way they are until the actual episode airs. I just realized now, how weird it is, to say that an article is protected because of speculation crackdown rather than maintaining the current (as of now) status of said Pokemon. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 17:30, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
:When you consider that the evolution is at an unspecified future time and nothing is known about the situation or the changes in personality, it would all be speculation. The only information (using Frogadier/Greninja as an example) that we know for a fact right now is that the evolution will occur in the future and that even further in the future it can take on a new form. So with that limited information, it is pretty pointless to post that an evolution will occur in the future, as it is going to be a very small amount of information that is very likely to provoke speculation (which it seems to have in the past). Of course I'm a newer member here, and this is just my view of it from glancing around, but it makes sense to call it speculation to me.[[User:ChE clarinetist|ChE clarinetist]] ([[User talk:ChE clarinetist|talk]]) 17:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Okay I think that piece of trivia is pointless.

The trivia directly implies that "it is not confirmed that Ash's other starter Pokémon have hatched from an Egg", which is very redundant statement to readers since all normal Pokémon hatch from an Egg.

:But on Ash's Primeape's and Ash's Krookodile's page it's mentioned in their infobox they had been a Mankey and a Sandile, despite not being Ash's at the time. This is because they have seen as a Mankey and a Sandile. Greninja has been seen as an Egg, so I think it's worth mentioning in the infobox.

::Like Mikuri and Rikeo said, attempting to shoehorn Greninja's Egg form (and also [[Iris's Axew]]) into the "Egg obtained" field is just ''bad''; Iris and Ash plainly never ''had''/"obtained" those Eggs.

::(FWIW) "Hatches in" is also a problematic field to use IMO; ''"Hatches in: prior to [the start of the series]"'' is just nothing but bad. [[James's Victreebel]] also has the same sort of problem with ''"Evolves in: Prior to The Breeding Center Secret"'', and probably others do. In these sort of places, y'all are again trying to shoehorn in flashback info where it plainly wasn't intended and doesn't strictly fit. Those fields are meant for when it happens in the normal course of the show, like [[Ash's Primeape]] or [[Misty's Togetic]].

:::I agree with this. {{unsigned|Flain}}

== Episodes spent as an Egg ==

The only logical number for "number of episodes Greninja spent as an Egg" is 0. (Given the rest of the infobox at this point, at least.)

The other parameters all count the number of episodes when a Pokemon ''has been seen''.

Froakie was caught in [[XY002]]. It evolved in [[XY052]]. 052 - 002 + 1 = 51 episdoes spent as Froakie, ''that were seen''. No accounting is allowed there for any vague amount of time before Froakie's debut.

So long as that remains the same, the ''only'' logical number for Greninja's time as an Egg is 0.

If, I suppose, you want to change the parameter for time spent as Froakie to allow that Greninja may have spent more than 51 episodes as Froakie (and likewise for every other Pokemon that has ''ever'' evolved since its Trainer captured it or it debuted), I suppose that's fine. But that solution seems rather the worse option to me. Especially since it's almost surely a larger set of Pokemon (i.e., changes required) than "those that were seen in earlier forms in flashbacks".

The infobox should say that Greninja spent 0 episodes as an Egg. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

::Secondly, that's also treating its time spent as an Egg differently from its time spent as Froakie. If you only want to count the episodes where it was ''explicitly'' seen for its time as Froakie, you must do the same for its Egg. And when you do that, the only logical answer for its time as an Egg is 0.
::And if someone makes the wrong conclusion as you suggest (especially in a case like this): who cares? There's a difference between what it means and what you think it means, and in this case I don't think the latter necessarily matters. Ultimately at any rate, the worse thing is to treat time-as-an-Egg and time-as-Froakie differently: that is ''purely'' wrong, not just subjectively (and maybe) wrong.

:::I do not understand why we are listing the time as an egg in the infobox in the first place honestly. From my understanding, I thought we've only listed the stages that appeared while under the trainer's possession. For example, on Ash's Noctowl's page, we don't list "this Pokémon spent an unknown amount of episodes as a HootHoot". I understand how the situations are technically different, since the egg was shown in a flashback, but this Pokemon was a Froakie when it first came into Ash's possession, which is what I think should be the start of the listing in the infobox. It's been established by this point in the series that Pokémon come from eggs, just like it's been established that Pokémon evolve to reach higher stages. Just like it's obvious that Ash's Noctowl evolved from Hoothoot that evolved from an egg at some point, I think it's just unnecessarily messy to try to calculate and list the time spent as an egg.

::::::FWIW, I get that, personally. Primeape was seen as Mankey in the normal course of the show (not in a flashback), so sure, it can fit in the infobox—the infobox is rather explicitly designed to handle that ("Debuts in"). What it's not designed to handle is flashback info...

== First of Ash's Pokémon To Know An HM Move ==

Is Greninja the first Pokémon that Ash owns to know an HM attack? And if so, is that trivia worthy?[[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] ([[User talk:Pikatwig|talk]]) 20:49, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

== "Form" versus "Forme" ==

I wanted to get some clarification and feedback on this point, since even the [[List of Pokémon with form differences]] page does not follow its own standards and conflicts with some of the specific Pokémon pages it links to. I was under the impression that a Pokémon that can change its appearance, as well as changing either its ability, type, or stats, on its own will gets "Forme" used to describe it. I know Ash's Greninja requires Ash in order to transform, but that is still able to be controlled, unlike {{p|Castform}} that requires weather, for example. What is the consensus for the word that should be used to describe Ash-Greninja, "form" or "Forme"?

== Ash-Greninja Water Shuriken Form/ Mode pic ==

Can some make and put a Pic of Ash-Greninja when he has his Giant Shuriken on it's back.
I know picture would be when he is in air but that is the closest pic we have in the anime. {{unsigned|Makarov5}}
:Done, the filename is: {{red link|File:Ash-Greninja water shuriken.png}}. I am not sure where to put it, though, because the article currently has one other picture of Ash-Greninja covered in the water veil. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 12:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

== Water "Fuma" Shuriken? ==

I may have missed something in XY118 or XY119, but when was it referred to as a "Water Fuma Shuriken"? As much as this would make sense, the title of XY122 says "Hatsudou kyodai Mizu Shuriken!", or Unleash (hatsudou) the Giant Water Shuriken (kyodai Mizu Shuriken). If there's a source for this then so be it, but I just wanna make sure because it seems like if Water Fuma Shuriken is just a fan name, Giant Water Shuriken would actually make more sense since I recall Bonnie calling it a big Water Shuriken in XY119 too. --[[User:TheMaskedMeowth|TheMaskedMeowth]] ([[User talk:TheMaskedMeowth|talk]]) 02:20, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

== Conclusions ==

For the past fews bads people have been saying greninja will be released based on a video clip we all saw and i am tired of it. Since goodra was another case but we need the bare facts first and even if greninja is released which i hope not there is one problem even with his power he can't protect kalos on his own and just because he saw a clip doesn't mean we have all the facts like how people claim it'll be released. For all i know it could mean greninja will sacrifice it's power to save ash {{unsigned|Pikastar}}
:I agree. I really hate it when people jump to conclusions like that. Seriously people see Ash and Greninja hug and they somehow come to the conclusion that he's being released.

Rockruff16: /* List of walking Pokémon in the anime */

{{incomplete|needs=Pokémon GO info}}
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger some expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}, Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Ethan Lyra.png|thumb|{{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} with their {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Marill}}, respectively]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon captured by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an [[Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu]] becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet.

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{DL|Valuable item|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty carrying Togepi]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Though Ash eventually insisted he go inside for protection as he defended them both from the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}} he encountered, Pikachu still did not, and has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s Clone Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

Like Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] has also become a walking Pokémon, though he was initially completely fine with staying inside at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with it, unlike Pikachu. Since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms much like Misty did Togepi. In some episodes, however, Piplup instead rides on either her head or her shoulder.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. It is unknown if Axew has any dislike of a Poké Ball, as the issue of if he even has one has not been raised in the series and also because when the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is the newest walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, and for comedic effect, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Wobbuffet is thus something of a fourth team member. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer.

==Trivia==
* Most of the recurring walking Pokémon in the anime have not evolved or refuse to do so. The only exceptions are Misty's Togetic, Cameron's Lucario, and Sanpei's Greninja, although Togetic was released soon after evolving. [[Iris's Axew]]'s dream in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' revealed that he wants to evolve into his final form.
* The ''{{series|AG}}'' is the only one to date not to have any walking Pokémon besides Pikachu in Ash's regular group.
* It is impossible to face an opposing Trainer with walking Pokémon, because all NPCs with walking Pokémon are either [[Multi Battle]] partners or do not battle, and in the communication part of the [[Pokémon Center]]s, walking Pokémon are not allowed.

'''Ash's Talonflame''' (Japanese: '''サトシのファイアロー''' ''Satoshi's Fiarrow'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kalos]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Fletchling.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Fletchling]]
As a Fletchling, it made its first appearance stealing a Berry that {{an|Bonnie}} was trying to feed to a wild {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Having made Bonnie cry, [[Ash's Froakie]] attempted to battle Fletchling, only to be repeatedly knocked out of the air. After Fletchling left, {{an|Clemont}} tried to attract it with one of his [[List of Clemont's inventions|Clemontic Gears]], only for Fletchling to set them up into being attacked by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}.

The chase led Ash and {{ashfr}} to a canyon, where Froakie challenged Fletchling to another battle. Using the terrain to its advantage, Froakie managed to defeat Fletchling and this resulted in its catch by Ash. Fletchling was soon sent out again to be introduced to everyone else where it shared an Oran Berry with Froakie and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Talonflame was taken captive by [[Lysandre]], alongside Ash and his other Pokémon in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]''. It could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s 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]], 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]], Talonflame and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received [[Honor of Kalos]] medals for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* As a Fletchling, its evolution into Fletchinder was first revealed in the Japanese opening ''[[V (Volt)|Mega V]]''. Fletchinder made its proper debut in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', before its evolution was shown on-screen in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]''.
* Talonflame is Ash's first Pokémon that:
** Changed one of its [[type]]s upon evolution.
** Evolved while battling a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
*** As a Fletchling, it is also Ash's first basic stage {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to get a win in a Gym battle prior to its evolution.
*** As a Fletchinder, it is also the first of Ash's Pokémon to fully evolve after defeating its evolved form.
* Both of Talonflame's evolutions occurred when it was battling a {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Flying}}-type Pokémon.
* Talonflame has battled two of the three [[Legendary Birds]]: a {{p|Moltres}} in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'' and a {{p|Zapdos}} in ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]''.
* Aside from {{AP|Pikachu}}, Talonflame has been used in the most Gym battles by Ash, with seven.
* As a Fletchling, Talonflame is the only Pokémon Ash caught in the Kalos region in an official battle; all of his other Kalos Pokémon joined him without a fight.
**Although, in the case of Ash's Hawlucha, Ash challenged it to a battle, with the condition that if he, Ash, won, Hawlucha would join his team. The battle that followed ended in a draw. Even though Hawlucha didn't exactly win, but didn't quite lose either, he freely chose to go with Ash.
* Talonflame is currently Ash's only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that does not know [[Flamethrower]].

'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mahoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Braixen}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

==Biology==
Delphox is a relatively tall bipedal Pokémon resembling a fox. It is covered in a coat of fur that resembles a robe; this "robe" is primarily dark red, with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees, as well as a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. It has three tufts of red-orange fur protruding out of each ear. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe". When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand; when in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its "wand" to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prior to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Delphox was the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Mystical Fire}}.

{{main|Malva's Delphox}}
After [[Trevor]] lost the {{p|Fennekin}} he was given from [[Professor Sycamore]], it was taken by [[Malva]] after finding its Poké Ball put into box filled with other Pokémon gathered from [[Vaniville Town]]. After some time, it evolved into a {{p|Braixen}}. Some time after its stay at the [[Pokémon Village]] it evolved into a Delphox. Due to the absence of a third [[Kalos]]-centered [[core series]] game, Delphox became the first fully-evolved starter to be owned by an antagonist in [[Pokémon Adventures]].
