The '''Village of Dragons''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|竜|りゅう}}の{{tt|里|さと}}''' ''Village of Dragons'') is a location which is in the [[Unova]] region in the anime. It is located near [[Opelucid City]] and is also the [[hometown]] of {{an|Iris}}.

[[File:Young Iris farewell.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Iris leaving the ''Village of Dragons'' for ''Opelucid School'']]
The Village of Dragons is a place where people raise and admire {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. An [[elder]] who lives there will also give out {{p|Axew}} for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to raise into {{p|Haxorus}}. It was first mentioned by Iris in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'' when she explained how she obtained her {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.

Statues of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} were built in the center of the village to commemorate them.

Dragon Pokémon roam around the village freely, such as Axew and its evolved form, {{p|Fraxure}}. Not all the Pokémon here are Dragon-type though: other Pokémon such as {{p|Drilbur}} live here as well.

Every year, there is a Pokémon battle tournament that Iris and her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} were seen competing at. Iris competed in it one time and did very well. She felt confident enough to challenge Dragon Master [[Drayden]] to a battle, but Drayden and his {{p|Haxorus}} easily overpowered her and won.

According to Iris, most people from the village dream to become a Dragon Master.

The village was first seen live in ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]''.

==Synopsis==
As the episode begins, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are out behind the local [[Pokémon Center]], preparing for their next challenges. Ash is training for the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Palace}}, and {{an|May}} is training with {{TP|May|Eevee}} for her upcoming {{Pkmn|Contest}}. May calls for a {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and Eevee shows off its new move. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} is bottle-feeding {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} as he and [[Max]] watch their friends train and comment on how excited they are. Now Ash has his Pokémon practice their attacks. {{AP|Donphan}}'s {{m|Rollout}} smashes through a boulder. Corphish's {{m|BubbleBeam}} splits the flying rocks from the smashed boulder into smaller pieces. Swellow practices its {{m|Quick Attack}}, and Sceptile attempts a {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but fails! Sceptile is both astonished and angry at itself for still not being able to attack.

Sceptile continues to try and fail, and falls to its knees in despair. Ash's other Pokémon attempt to comfort it, as do Ash and Pikachu, but their attempts don't seem to have any effect. Sceptile suddenly gets up and runs off into the woods in anguish. Ash and Pikachu immediately run off after it, while the other Pokémon and humans are worried about Sceptile. Brock comments that maybe the best thing for Sceptile would be for it to have some time alone with Ash and reestablish their bond. Ahead, Sceptile continues to run on, blindly, then reaches a tree and begins beating its head against it. After several hits, it backs up in pain, and drops to its hands and knees in despair. Ash then catches up, and tries again to encourage Sceptile. But both Sceptile and Pikachu quickly hear something approaching, and we then see a swarm of Beedrill emerge! They dive down to attack, and Ash desperately has Pikachu Thunderbolt them. But as soon as the attack drives off a group of them, another group appears to take its place! There are far too many here for Pikachu alone to deal with, so Ash turns to Sceptile and says they have to go. The group flees, with the Beedrill in pursuit. But they haven't run very far when they find themselves cornered on the edge of a cliff! There's a raging river in front of them, and an angry swarm of Beedrill behind them. As the Beedrill approach, Sceptile steps in front of Ash. Sceptile cringes as it takes a barrage of attacks! Ash holds up Sceptile's [[Poké Ball]] to recall it, but before he can, the Beedrill knock Sceptile back into Ash, causing him to drop the Poké Ball, and causing the three of them to fall into the river! Ash grabs hold of a rock in the river and calls out for Pikachu and Sceptile. Sceptile is carried towards him, and Ash grabs its arm before it goes past. Just then, the river also carries Pikachu past, but neither Ash nor Sceptile can reach it! The river carries Pikachu off as Ash cries out to it, swearing to find it as soon as he can.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} hides under a box, also worried about the Beedrill. A swarm of them appear and dive for Team Rocket, who quickly withdraws inside their box/shield. They gloat that they're safe now, as they seem protected, but just then, the Beedrill manage to puncture the box and tear it apart! Team Rocket flees in fear, with the swarm in pursuit.

Back at the Pokémon Center, May, Max, and Brock are worried because Ash, Pikachu, and Sceptile still haven't returned. They hear a voice behind them, and are greeted by Scott, who wonders where Ash is. May tells Scott what happened, and this alarms him. He explains that this is the time when the local Kakuna normally evolve into Beedrill, and there are a lot of them in the area. Now that they realize Ash and the others may be in danger, they decide to go look for them.

Presently, Ash and his injured Sceptile are walking along, with Ash supporting Sceptile. Ash says that they have to get back to the Pokémon Center to get Sceptile some help. Suddenly, Sceptile falters, and falls to its knees in pain. Ash realizes that Sceptile is hurt worse than he thought, and says that they should rest now. Sceptile shakes its head no, but Ash assures it that Pikachu will be okay, but what's important now is to get some rest so they can continue.

Scott is now leading the others into the woods in search of their missing friends. Scott shows the others the [[Repel]] he'd brought along to keep the Beedrill away. Bonsly then sees something ahead, which turns out to be Sceptile's Poké Ball! The group looks down at the raging river below them and fears for the worst. Scott says they should follow the river, so they hurry off.

Ahead, Ash has put together a meal for himself and Sceptile using some Berries from the area. Sceptile now lies down to go to sleep. Ash apologizes to it, since it would've been more comfortable in its Poké Ball, but this is the best they can do. Ash looks up at the moon and thinks about Pikachu, hoping that Pikachu is okay.

Somewhere downriver, a very weak Pikachu struggles ashore and collapses, lacking even the strength to remain standing. Heavy approaching footsteps can be heard. They turn out to be coming from a Venusaur, with an old man riding on it.

Elsewhere, Scott's group is still following the river in search of Ash, Pikachu, and Sceptile. They see a column of smoke in the distance, guessing it's from a campfire. At this fire, the old man sits next to his Venusaur, mixing something in a bowl. He finishes, and tells Pikachu to drink it. It does, and it doesn't seem to like the taste. Just then, Scott and the others approach, and Scott greets the man. May and Max are happy to see Pikachu, and ask if it's OK. Pikachu semi-weakly responds, and the old man says that it will soon be fine. He then greets Scott and asks who his companions are. Scott then introduces them to one of the Frontier Brains, Palace Maven Spenser. Ash's friends are surprised to learn of his identity, and explain that this Pikachu belongs to their friend Ash, who is still missing. At first, they want to keep looking, but then May's and Max's stomachs both growl, and they all realize how late it is and that it's been a while since they've eaten. Venusaur extends a vine and offers them some fruit, and Spenser says that they'd best eat first before continuing the search.

Farther ahead, Ash is now talking in his sleep. Lying opposite him, Sceptile is still awake, and watches him. Now content that Ash is okay, Sceptile smiles and goes to sleep itself.

Back at the campsite, the group explains to Spenser as they eat about what has been happening with Ash and Sceptile, and about how since it evolved, Sceptile hasn't been able to use any attacks. Team Rocket overhears this from some nearby bushes. They conclude that since Sceptile can't attack, this is the perfect chance for them to steal both Pikachu and Sceptile. May, Max, and Brock are now finished their food, and thank Spenser. Spenser tells them a bit about himself and the healing medicines he makes. Pikachu, who had been asleep, now wakes up, and is fully healed. Brock, May, and Max are of course happy to see this, and this shows that Spenser's medicines do work. The old man stands up now, and says that since they've eaten and rested, they should now resume searching, as dawn begins to break over the land.

Ash and Sceptile are now walking again, with Ash supporting his Pokémon as before. Ash calls out for Pikachu, but then trips over a rock, and falls flat because of Sceptile's added weight. Sceptile is concerned, but Ash says he's okay. Still, when Ash tries to get up, he finds that he has hurt his knee. Still, he gets up and continues to walk and support Sceptile, determined to get to the Pokémon Center and get them both healed. Before long, they come to a group of Kakuna, who may be about to evolve. Ash says that they've got to be quiet as they go through here so the Kakuna don't evolve and start attacking. They proceed forward, but suddenly a swam of Beedrill catches up to them! Ash and Sceptile increase their pace as they see that they will soon emerge from the thick forest...but they emerge into a dead end! Now they're trapped! Ash turns around and picks up a stick, ready to fight a battle that he cannot possibly win. Ash fights bravely to protect himself and Sceptile, and yells that he won't let anything happen to it. But then one of the Beedrill hits Ash hard, knocking him back. The swarm closes in, and Sceptile steps in front of Ash. It tries to use Bullet Seed, but again fails. Ash calls out to Sceptile, but suddenly the swarm's attack is stopped by a {{m|Thunderbolt}}! Pikachu runs forward, closely followed by May, Max, and Brock. Ash is happy to see them, but then the Beedrill quickly turn on the new arrivals. Pikachu is ready to fight, but suddenly some sort of powder or something calms them down. It turns out to be Venusaur's {{m|Sweet Scent}}, as Venusaur, Spenser, and Scott now approach. Brock thanks Spenser, who turns to the swarm and asks them to leave, which they do. Brock and May now tell Ash who Spenser is. Ash thanks him, but suddenly two claws grab Pikachu and Sceptile!

Team Rocket gloat at their success, and Spenser demands to know who they are, so they go into their motto. Ash calls for a Thunderbolt, but it doesn't work! Team Rocket has shielded the claws from electricity. They gloat that since Pikachu's attacks won't work, and Sceptile can't attack anyway, there's nothing Ash can do. They wave goodbye as they start to leave in their balloon. Giving chase, Ash spots a dead tree, climbs it, and prepares to jump. He cringes with the pressure on his injured knee, but ignores it and jumps, managing to grab the arm that holds Sceptile, much to Team Rocket's surprise. Meowth works the controls, trying to shake Ash off, but he hangs on, while everyone on the ground watches and cries out anxiously. Jessie, angry that Ash is still there, now sends out Dustox, who attacks Ash with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Ash yells in pain at the barrage of pins, and those on the ground worry about how high the balloon is getting. Ash hangs on and yells about not letting Team Rocket get away with this, as Sceptile anxiously looks on. Jessie now tells Dustox to knock Ash away with Tackle, and it does, causing Ash to fall! Everyone cries out, and Sceptile screams, as the blade on its right arm grows and energizes! With a shout, it successfully uses {{m|Leaf Blade}} to free itself and Pikachu. Pikachu quickly jumps onto its back, and Sceptile uses Quick Attack to catch up to Ash's descent. In the same motion, Sceptile catches Ash and immediately fires a Bullet Seed to soften their landing. Sceptile sets Ash down, Pikachu gets off, and Ash congratulates Sceptile on its success. Sceptile then falters, as it is overcome by its injuries. Spenser now steps in, and sends out...a Chansey! It uses {{m|Heal Bell}} and heals Sceptile, who promptly reaches into a bush and picks out a new twig. Ash and friends are elated to see that Sceptile is finally all right.

But Team Rocket won't give up that easily. They land their balloon and prepare for battle. Spenser interrupts and says that they should almost be thanked, since it was their interference that allowed Sceptile to regain its confidence. Jessie angrily cuts him off and calls for a {{m|Tackle}} from Dustox, as James calls for a {{m|Needle Arm}}. Ash calls for a Leaf Blade, and one strike is enough to send Cacnea and Dustox reeling, much to Jessie and James' surprise. Ash now calls for Bullet Seed, which sends them blasting off.

Later, Scott tells Ash about the Battle Palace, and Ash officially challenges Spenser, who accepts. So now that Sceptile has regained its moves and confidence, Ash can focus on his upcoming battle with Spenser for the Spirit Symbol.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode begins with Ash training his {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Snivy}}, and {{AP|Tepig}} for their upcoming Gym battle against [[Driftveil City]] Gym Leader, [[Clay]]. A voice suddenly calls out to Cilan, and they turn to find [[Chili]] standing in the doorway. Cilan inquires his brother's reason for being there, and Chili responds that he decided to take after Cilan and travel, leaving [[Cress]] solely in charge of the Gym. He then asks Cilan to battle against him to see how much he's improved since they last met. Cilan accepts the challenge, and Ash volunteers to be referee. Chili wastes no time sending out {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} and Cilan greets the High Temp Pokémon and sends out {{TP|Cilan|his Pansage|Pansage}}. The two Pokémon shake hands and exchange friendly greetings, and Ash wishes them both good luck, which Iris remarks that he should focus as a referee. Chili comments that Cilan is at a disadvantage, but Cilan states that it was how [[Striaton Gym|their Gym's]] functioned, and Chili reminds him that he's a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] and that he should enforce type efficiency. Cilan tells him to save his comments for the end of the battle, and Chili orders Pansear to launch a {{m|Flamethrower}}. Pansage dodges, and Pansear uses {{m|Fire Punch}}, which Pansage again dodges. Chili accuses Cilan of running away, and orders another Flamethrower that is dodged. Pansear then uses {{m|Flame Charge}} and charges toward Pansage, when Cilan orders Pansage to use {{m|Rock Tomb}}. This knocks Pansear back, and Chili orders it to use {{m|Fire Blast}}. Pansage dodges with {{m|Dig}}, knocks Pansear off its feet, then finishes it with {{m|SolarBeam}}. Ash declares Cilan the winner, and Pansage quickly runs over and helps Pansear to its feet. Chili recalls Pansear, who evades the Poké Ball's light and shouts angrily at Chili. Chili blames Fire Blast's miss for their loss, which further enrages Pansear. Ash and Iris comment that the two of them fighting is shameful, and Cilan states that Chili is the one at fault for their loss. Chili begins to pin the blame on Pansear once again, but he is scorched by Pansear's Flamethrower. He shouts angrily at the Pokémon, who then runs away. Fed up, Chili leaves the battlefield. Iris states that Cilan should go after Chili, but he feels the best course of action would be to get information from Cress first.

The trio travel to the Pokémon Center and Cilan calls Cress on the video phone, where he learns that Chili ran away from the Gym. Cilan informs Cress that Chili claimed to have left to study, and Cress reveals that Chili had been grieving over his losing streak. Cress remarked that it's a Gym Leader's duty to lose to challengers in the end, but Chili wasn't satisfied by how quickly he is defeated. Cress contemplates the reason for Chili's loss, and decides that Chili is too aggressive in his style of battling. This angers Chili, who denounces their brotherly bond, and runs away. Cress grieves over angering Chili, but Cilan encourages him that he'll figure out how to help Chili, which brightens Cress's spirits. Iris comments on Chili's quick temper, but Cilan remarks that it's their differences as brothers that compliment each other, and that's how they're able to help each other with their troubles. With that knowledge, Cilan knows exactly where Chili has run away to after their battle.

They find Chili scarfing down a pile of doughnuts in a local doughnut shop, and Cilan says that he was informed by Cress that Chili ran away. Chili accuses Cress of being arrogant, but Cilan claims that Cress is very worried about him. Chili ignores Cilan's comment and states that Cress is probably relieved that he's gone. Cilan reminds him of their bond as triplets, and Chili remorsefully admits that he got frustrated since he didn't have any answers for his problems and decides to fill Cilan in completely. Chili admits that he's hasty and aggressive during battles, but wasn't willing to accept it after hearing it from Cress. After some time to think, he decided that he should change his style of battle. He learned from a [[Nurse Joy]] that Cilan was nearby and decided to seek out his advice. Cilan happily accepts to perform an evaluation of Chili and Pansear as a Pokémon Connoisseur. Iris comments that they don't know where Pansear went after it ran away, and Ash volunteers to split up to look for it. However, Chili states that he knows exactly where Pansear is.

They find Pansear sitting in a tree eating apples, and Ash comments on the similarities between Chili and Pansear. Chili calls out to Pansear, apologizing for his behavior earlier, but Pansear throws one of the apples at him. Cilan then decides Pansage should talk to it, and Pansage climbs up the tree and talks it over with Pansear. Iris is astonished by how alike Pansage and Pansear are to their Trainers, which embarrassed Chili. Pansear is still upset at Chili, so he climbed the tree and apologized once again, announcing that together with Pansear, he wants to start the first {{type|Fire}} Gym in Unova, pleading that Pansear forgive him so they can meet that goal. Pansear accepts Chili's apology, and the two join Cilan back on the ground for an evaluation.

Meanwhile on [[Milos Island]], {{TRT}} is getting their next scheme underway, vandalizing the shrine dedicated to {{p|Thundurus}}.

Back at Driftveil City, Cilan begins his evaluation by going over Pansear's traits; Since Pansear's Ability is {{a|Gluttony}}, and Chili himself is a glutton, he and Pansear compliment each other. Then the fact that Pansear's attacks get more powerful when enraged, it again fits well with Chili, and Cilan diagnoses that Chili and Pansear are the perfect combination. Next he evaluates Pansear's moves; Flamethrower, Fire Punch, Flame Charge, and Fire Blast. He states that the move set is too simple and is imbalanced. He then suggests Pansear learn a new move of a different [[type]] to replace Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Chili asks what his suggestion would be, and Cilan deducts that because of Pansear's weakness to {{type|Water}} moves, it should learn SolarBeam, a {{type|Grass}} move. Iris asked why he didn't suggest a defensive move, and Cilan responds that a defensive move would taint Chili and Pansear's battle style, and Chili remarks that the best defense is a good offense. Chili is completely satisfied with Cilan's deduction, and excited to get started with training. Cilan explains that it's thanks to his travels with Ash and Iris that he was able to come up with such an accurate deduction. With the evaluation over, Cilan announces it is time to begin training.

Cilan explains that a Pokémon must absorb the sun's energy, so the group and their Pokémon stand tall soaking up the sun's rays. He then explains that a Pokémon will focus that energy to a single point and then fire it in a powerful beam, as Pansage demonstrated. Pansear then attempted to mimic Pansage's actions, but fails. Cilan tells it not to be discouraged, as it wasn't sure to get it right the first time. Pansear then engages in rigorous training with the other Pokémon, after which it is able to successfully able to perform SolarBeam. Cilan then explains the pros of Pansear's other moves, and this pumps Chili up and makes him eager to try out Pansear's new attack in a battle. Ash offers to battle to get ready for his upcoming Gym match, and Chili accepts.

They make their way to the Battle Club and {{AP|Oshawott}} comes out of his Poké Ball before Ash could choose a Pokémon. Chili asks that Ash use Oshawott since he's trying to overcome Water's advantage of him, so Ash accepts. Pansear starts off with Fire Blast, which Oshawott evaporates with {{m|Water Gun}}. Pansear then immediately comes in with a Fire Punch, which is countered by {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pansear charges in with Flame Charge, and Oshawott attacks with {{m|Tackle}}, and then gets hit by Fire Punch. As he's flying through the air, Oshawott comes back with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, which Pansear manages to dodge, then dissolve with Fire Punch. Oshawott then attacks with a barrage of Razor Shells, which Pansear blocks again and again. Pansear endures the attacks until it becomes completely enraged and turns that rage into SolarBeam, which knocks out Oshawott. Overjoyed, Chili runs towards Pansear, who jumps into its Trainer's arms and the two embrace each other in a hug. That evening, Chili thanks Cilan for all his help and advice and announces that he'll return to the Striaton Gym to help Cress. The two brothers then bid each other farewell, and Pansage waves goodbye to Pansear who rides joyously on its Trainer's shoulder. Nurse Joy then comes out of the Pokémon Center and informs Ash that Clay has returned, so he looks forward to challenging him. The episode ends with a mysterious lightning storm brewing over Milos Island.

'''Ash's Pignite''' (Japanese: '''サトシのチャオブー''' ''Satoshi's Chaoboo'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Tepig Release.png|left|thumb|right|250px|As a Tepig, being abandoned by Shamus, his original Trainer]]
===With Shamus===
Pignite once belonged to a Trainer named [[Shamus]] as a Tepig, who abandoned him after he lost to a {{p|Deerling}} in battle. Shamus was disappointed in Tepig and so, Tepig was tied to a post. When [[Don George]] tried to untie him, Tepig broke free of his bonds and began searching for his Trainer, but to no avail.

When Ash visited the [[Accumula Town]] Pokémon [[Battle Club]] in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'', Ash mistook Tepig for an {{p|Umbreon}} when watching a security tape of him stealing food from the nearby warehouse. In an attempt to capture the 'Umbreon', Ash then met Tepig for the first time when he was trying to eat some bait. He realized that Tepig was covered in soot and was unable to eat as there was a rope tied around his mouth, making him extremely hungry and very skinny. Initially, Tepig tried to run away, but after being cornered by Ash and having his rope removed and fed, he was carried back to the Battle Club by Ash. Later on, Tepig volunteered to help Ash retrieve his {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}. Later, when {{an|Iris}} wanted to capture Tepig, he refused and decided he wanted to join Ash's team and Ash caught him in a [[Poké Ball]].

===With Ash===
Tepig fought for Ash during his [[Striaton Gym]] battle in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', against [[Chili]] and his {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}. Tepig's attacks didn't do much damage to Pansear, but Pansear managed to hit Tepig with powerful {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Dig}} attacks. One of Pansear's Dig attacks sent Tepig into the air. Ash then commanded him to dive into the hole that Pansear was in and he managed to bite Pansear's tail. Although Pansear threw Tepig onto the ground, he managed to get up and spin Pansear around, throwing him to the ground. He used {{m|Ember}} successfully and then knocked Pansear out with a powerful {{m|Tackle}}.

Tepig was revealed to be male in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'' when he battled a wild {{AP|Snivy}} that would eventually be caught by Ash. Although he managed to use an Ember attack, he was hit by the Snivy's {{m|Attract}} and became infatuated with her, causing him to be recalled.

[[File:Ash Tepig.png|thumb|250px|As a Tepig]]
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he was used to fight against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}}. Like {{AP|Oshawott}} before him, he was defeated by two consecutive {{m|Aerial Ace}}s due to Tranquill's {{a|Super Luck}} Ability, which increased Tranquill's chance of inflicting critical hits.

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', he battled [[Lenora]]'s {{p|Lillipup}}, which promptly used {{m|Roar}} to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball. After Lenora's {{p|Watchog}} defeated Oshawott, he fought Lillipup again and was defeated. In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', he trained alongside Ash at Don George's Battle Club. He ran on a treadmill and dodged black balls that symbolized {{m|Shadow Ball}} attacks. By training, Tepig became faster and stronger, and learned {{m|Flame Charge}}. Later on, he battled against Lenora's {{p|Herdier}}, which soon used Roar to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball again. After Watchog and Oshawott knocked each other out, Tepig battled Herdier again and won because of his faster, stronger attacks and his newly learned Flame Charge move.

He had his third Gym battle against the {{type|Bug}} Gym Leader [[Burgh]] in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' and despite Ash planning to win with a type advantage, Burgh sent out a {{p|Dwebble}} which had its own type advantage. Even though Tepig tried his best, Dwebble's superior speed and powerful {{type|Rock}} moves got the better of Tepig which lead to his eventual defeat.

Tepig was later used in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'' to battle Trip's {{p|Vanillite}}. Tepig defended himself from Vanillite's {{type|Ice}} attacks with Flame Charge but could not keep up with some of its faster moves and despite the type advantage, the match ended in a tie.

Tepig was used in ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'' to battle {{AP|Roggenrola}} after Oshawott was defeated, only to be defeated himself. He later helped Ash rescue all of the Roggenrola from the [[Team Rocket trio]]. He later had a rematch with Roggenrola and after a fierce battle, he weakened it enough for Ash to catch it.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Tepig was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Roggenrola using {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In the process, his {{m|Ember}} attack became {{m|Flamethrower}}.

[[File:Pignite and Shamus.png|thumb|left|250px|Pignite and Shamus]]
In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Tepig teamed up with [[Cilan's Pansage]] when his Trainer Ash and {{an|Cilan}} battled against {{tc|Subway Boss}}es {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}. Battling their {{p|Eelektross}} and {{p|Chandelure}}, Tepig and Pansage battled well but were eventually defeated.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', while eating with the other Pokémon in the Battle Club, Tepig recognized his previous Trainer, Shamus. Upon seeing him, Tepig happily ran over to Shamus, believing that he would be happy to see him. However, when Shamus threw Tepig at Ash and called him a useless Pokémon, he was very disheartened. Being angered by Shamus's actions, Ash accepted Shamus's challenge of a [[Double Battle]], pitting Tepig against his former Trainer's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night Tepig sat alone outside the Battle Club and got very upset while recounting his abandonment. Snivy slapped him with {{m|Vine Whip}} and talked sense into him, as they were preparing for the battle in the morning. Despite Snivy's encouragement, when faced with battling his estranged Trainer, he froze up and was unable to launch any attacks. Though Tepig had thought that abandoning him was a very hard thing for Shamus to do, he was crushed when Shamus revealed he was relieved to get rid of him. However, after watching his friend Snivy take two powerful hits when she was distracted with encouraging him further, Tepig finally hit both of his opponents with a powerful Flame Charge. However, Emboar and Heatmor were able to take the attack and on Shamus's command launched a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination move. Making no attempt to dodge, Tepig was pushed out of the way of the attack by his partner Snivy, who took major damage and was knocked out. Tepig became as motivated as his Trainer and Snivy continued to show faith in him, as he [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Pignite}}. With his new power, Pignite used {{m|Fire Pledge}}, impressing both his former and current Trainer and dealing major damage to Emboar and Heatmor. With a final Flame Charge attack, Pignite was able to knock out both of his opponents. After the battle, Shamus talked to Pignite, saying he was impressed with his new power, and asked him to rejoin the team, but Pignite refused, scorching his previous Trainer's face with a Flamethrower and sending him running away in anger.

In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', Pignite battled [[Brycen]]'s {{p|Cryogonal}}. The match started with Pignite's Flame Charge being blocked by {{m|Reflect}} and him being hit by fast {{m|Rapid Spin}}, unable to hit the speedy Cryogonal. After enduring Cryogonal's {{m|Frost Breath}}, Pignite was able to land a direct hit with Fire Pledge, stopping Cryogonal's Rapid Spin and knocking it out. Pignite next went up against Brycen's {{p|Beartic}} where his Flame Charge was stopped by Beartic's {{m|Brine}}. Pignite was soon knocked out after a powerful {{m|Icicle Crash}} and unavoidable {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]'', Ash sent out his Pignite as his fourth Pokémon during his Gym battle with [[Roxie]], facing her {{p|Scolipede}}. Despite her part {{type|Bug}} Pokémon being at a type disadvantage against {{type|Fire}}s, Roxie stood calm. Pignite started by trying a Flame Charge, which was blocked by Scolipede's {{m|Screech}}. The Megapede Pokémon next attacked with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which was also blocked by Pignite's Flamethrower, causing a big explosion and a cloud of smoke. Using the smoke to his advantage, Ash had Pignite use another Flame Charge, hitting Scolipede and dealing a lot of damage. As Pignite tried to finish the match with another Flamethrower, Scolipede dodged and used {{m|Toxic}} on Pignite, {{status|poison|badly poisoning}} him. However, Pignite was able to go on and unleash a Fire Pledge on Scolipede, defeating it. Roxie then gave Pignite a [[Pecha Berry]], curing him of the poison before sending out her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. The Trash Heap Pokémon was able to use its extendable arms to dodge Pignite's Flame Charge before hitting the Fire Pig Pokémon with {{m|DoubleSlap}} and doing the same again to dodge a Flamethrower. Pignite then used Tackle on Garbodor's arm, causing it to fall over. Pignite was about to use Fire Pledge, but Garbodor extended its arm under his hand, preventing him from using the move, grabbing him, and tossing him to the floor. After getting hit by a few DoubleSlap attacks, Pignite was finally able to unleash his Fire Pledge attack, but Garbodor countered with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which went right through Fire Pledge and hit Pignite, knocking him out.

In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Pignite battled [[Trip's Serperior]] in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] finals. Even though Pignite battled hard; had the type-advantage and managed to dodge many most of his opponent's attacks, Serperior was too fast and dodged every single one of Pignite's attacks, as well as landing a direct hit with {{m|Solarbeam}}. In the end, he became tired and was finished off with a powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Pignite.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash and Pignite]]
Pignite, as a Tepig, has been shown to not take losing very well, often getting sad when he loses, such as in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' where he fought and lost to [[Trip]]'s Tranquill. This was shown again during {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Lenora]], the Gym Leader of the [[Nacrene Gym]]. He fought against her {{p|Lillipup}} and lost; he got depressed again, and did not even cheer up when Ash told him he did a good job. He also felt upset when he drew to Trip's {{p|Vanillite}} in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', reacting the same way he does when he loses. However, in some cases, Tepig is happy to lose, but only in unofficial training battles, as seen in ''[[BW027|A Dragon Master's Path!]]''. Otherwise, Tepig is a rather sweet Pokémon, always looking to please Ash in battle.

Tepig has shown multiple times that he is always trying to please Ash. Lenora confirms this in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', where she says that Tepig is trying very hard for Ash. This could be because Tepig's [[Shamus|former Trainer]] abandoned him and out of fear that Ash will do the same, tries his best to prove he is worthy. Even though abandoned by his former Trainer, he was still happy to see him again in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'' and also didn't feel right battling against him. After his [[evolution]], he lost all respect for Shamus as shown when Pignite used {{m|Flamethrower}} on his former Trainer and stayed loyal to Ash.

Ash sends out his Tepig against Leeku's Samurott in {{ma|White—Victini and Zekrom}}. Tepig was having trouble handling Samurott as Samurott had both the advantage in being fully evolved and type. However, with Victini powering it up, Tepig defeated Samurott.

He later helped Ash rescue all of the Roggenrola from the [[Team Rocket trio]]. He later had a rematch with Roggenrola and after a fierce battle, he weakened it enough for Ash to catch it.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Tepig was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Roggenrola using {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In the process, his {{m|Ember}} attack became {{m|Flamethrower}}.

[[File:Pignite and Shamus.png|thumb|left|250px|Pignite and Shamus]]
In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Tepig teamed up with [[Cilan's Pansage]] when his Trainer Ash and {{an|Cilan}} battled against {{tc|Subway Boss}}es {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}. Battling their {{p|Eelektross}} and {{p|Chandelure}}, Tepig and Pansage battled well but were eventually defeated.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', while eating with the other Pokémon in the Battle Club, Tepig recognized his previous Trainer, Shamus. Upon seeing him, Tepig happily ran over to Shamus, believing that he would be happy to see him. However, when Shamus threw Tepig at Ash and called him a useless Pokémon, he was very disheartened. Being angered by Shamus's actions, Ash accepted Shamus's challenge of a [[Double Battle]], pitting Tepig against his former Trainer's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night Tepig sat alone outside the Battle Club and got very upset while recounting his abandonment. Snivy slapped him with {{m|Vine Whip}} and talked sense into him, as they were preparing for the battle in the morning. Despite Snivy's encouragement, when faced with battling his estranged Trainer, he froze up and was unable to launch any attacks. Though Tepig had thought that abandoning him was a very hard thing for Shamus to do, he was crushed when Shamus revealed he was relieved to get rid of him. However, after watching his friend Snivy take two powerful hits when she was distracted with encouraging him further, Tepig finally hit both of his opponents with a powerful Flame Charge. However, Emboar and Heatmor were able to take the attack and on Shamus's command launched a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination move. Making no attempt to dodge, Tepig was pushed out of the way of the attack by his partner Snivy, who took major damage and was knocked out. Tepig became as motivated as his Trainer and Snivy continued to show faith in him, as he [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Pignite}}. With his new power, Pignite used {{m|Fire Pledge}}, impressing both his former and current Trainer and dealing major damage to Emboar and Heatmor. With a final Flame Charge attack, Pignite was able to knock out both of his opponents. After the battle, Shamus talked to Pignite, saying he was impressed with his new power, and asked him to rejoin the team, but Pignite refused, scorching his previous Trainer's face with a Flamethrower and sending him running away in anger.

In ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', Pignite battled [[Brycen]]'s {{p|Cryogonal}}. The match started with Pignite's Flame Charge being blocked by {{m|Reflect}} and him being hit by fast {{m|Rapid Spin}}, unable to hit the speedy Cryogonal. After enduring Cryogonal's {{m|Frost Breath}}, Pignite was able to land a direct hit with Fire Pledge, stopping Cryogonal's Rapid Spin and knocking it out. Pignite next went up against Brycen's {{p|Beartic}} where his Flame Charge was stopped by Beartic's {{m|Brine}}. Pignite was soon knocked out after a powerful {{m|Icicle Crash}} and unavoidable {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]'', Ash sent out his Pignite as his fourth Pokémon during his Gym battle with [[Roxie]], facing her {{p|Scolipede}}. Despite her part {{type|Bug}} Pokémon being at a type disadvantage against {{type|Fire}}s, Roxie stood calm. Pignite started by trying a Flame Charge, which was blocked by Scolipede's {{m|Screech}}. The Megapede Pokémon next attacked with {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which was also blocked by Pignite's Flamethrower, causing a big explosion and a cloud of smoke. Using the smoke to his advantage, Ash had Pignite use another Flame Charge, hitting Scolipede and dealing a lot of damage. As Pignite tried to finish the match with another Flamethrower, Scolipede dodged and used {{m|Toxic}} on Pignite, {{status|poison|badly poisoning}} him. However, Pignite was able to go on and unleash a Fire Pledge on Scolipede, defeating it. Roxie then gave Pignite a [[Pecha Berry]], curing him of the poison before sending out her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. The Trash Heap Pokémon was able to use its extendable arms to dodge Pignite's Flame Charge before hitting the Fire Pig Pokémon with {{m|DoubleSlap}} and doing the same again to dodge a Flamethrower. Pignite then used Tackle on Garbodor's arm, causing it to fall over. Pignite was about to use Fire Pledge, but Garbodor extended its arm under his hand, preventing him from using the move, grabbing him, and tossing him to the floor. After getting hit by a few DoubleSlap attacks, Pignite was finally able to unleash his Fire Pledge attack, but Garbodor countered with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which went right through Fire Pledge and hit Pignite, knocking him out.

In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Pignite battled [[Trip's Serperior]] in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] finals. Even though Pignite battled hard; had the type-advantage and managed to dodge many most of his opponent's attacks, Serperior was too fast and dodged every single one of Pignite's attacks, as well as landing a direct hit with {{m|Solarbeam}}. In the end, he became tired and was finished off with a powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Pignite.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash and Pignite]]
Pignite, as a Tepig, has been shown to not take losing very well, often getting sad when he loses, such as in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' where he fought and lost to [[Trip]]'s Tranquill. This was shown again during {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Lenora]], the Gym Leader of the [[Nacrene Gym]]. He fought against her {{p|Lillipup}} and lost; he got depressed again, and did not even cheer up when Ash told him he did a good job. He also felt upset when he drew to Trip's {{p|Vanillite}} in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', reacting the same way he does when he loses. However, in some cases, Tepig is happy to lose, but only in unofficial training battles, as seen in ''[[BW027|A Dragon Master's Path!]]''. Otherwise, Tepig is a rather sweet Pokémon, always looking to please Ash in battle.

Tepig has shown multiple times that he is always trying to please Ash. Lenora confirms this in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', where she says that Tepig is trying very hard for Ash. This could be because Tepig's [[Shamus|former Trainer]] abandoned him and out of fear that Ash will do the same, tries his best to prove he is worthy. Even though abandoned by his former Trainer, he was still happy to see him again in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'' and also didn't feel right battling against him. After his [[evolution]], he lost all respect for Shamus as shown when Pignite used {{m|Flamethrower}} on his former Trainer and stayed loyal to Ash.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon

2012-07-28T07:41:15Z

TopCoordinatorAlex: /* Trivia */

'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, two [[type]]s, [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]], and a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than other non-[[legendary Pokémon]], possibly due to their high base stats.

==List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon==
There are six Pokémon considered to be pseudo-legendary Pokémon. The following shows the pseudo-legendary Pokémon by the generation of their introduction, as well as their types, and the Pokémon they evolve from.

==Characteristics==
With the exception of the {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Hydreigon}} evolutionary lines, pseudo-legendary Pokémon are usually situated adjacent to the [[legendary trio]]s in the [[Pokédex]]es of their respective [[generation]]s. In both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]], the evolutionary lines of {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} are located just after the [[legendary trio]] of their respective Generation (they are located next to each other in the Johto Pokédex). Similarly, the {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Metagross}} lines are located next to each other right before the [[legendary golems]] in both the National Pokédex and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. Oddly, this tradition was not upheld in [[Generation IV]], as the Garchomp [[evolution]] line is situated next to no notable Pokémon. In [[Generation V]], the Hydreigon line is located next to the {{p|Volcarona}} line, which is adjacent to the legendary Pokémon.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon usually have {{stat|Attack}} as their highest stat. This is not the case with Hydreigon, which has {{stat|Special Attack}} as its highest stat. Their respective base evolutions' base stat total are {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 300|300}}, while their second stage' base stat total are {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 420|420}}, excluding {{p|Pupitar}} and {{p|Gabite}}, which have {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 410|410}}.

===Statistical averages===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=94.33 |
Attack=128.83 |
Defense=100 |
SpAtk=100.83 |
SpDef=90.83 |
Speed=85.17 }}

===Individual characteristics===
====Dragonite====
Aside from being the first pseudo-legendary Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, Dragonite has the highest Special Defense tied with Tyranitar.

====Tyranitar====
Tyranitar is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that can neither fly nor levitate, as well as the slowest of the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. When a {{weather|sandstorm}} is raging, Tyranitar's {{stat|Special Defense}} becomes the highest of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

====Salamence====
Physically, Salamence is the shortest pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Salamence has the lowest defenses of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon. However, it has the highest Attack (tied with Metagross).

====Metagross====
Metagross has a large number of characteristics which are different from the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon. This is likely due to how it is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not appear to be based on a reptile; rather, it is a robotic life form. This is likely why Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon not to be used by [[Lance]] in any game, as he prefers {{type|Dragon}} and draconic Pokémon.

Metagross is the only genderless pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose first stage of evolution, {{p|Beldum}}, cannot be caught in the wild in its debut generation (one is received from [[Steven Stone]] instead). Metagross and its pre-evolutions have a [[catch rate]] of 3 (all the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon families have a catch rate of 45), and it has the highest base Defense of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Metagross is also the only pseudo-legendary in the super-heavyweight class.

====Garchomp====
Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], as well as having the fewest resistances. It is the fastest with a base {{stat|Speed}} stat of 102 and has the highest base {{stat|HP}}, with 108. It is also the lightest pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

====Hydreigon====
Due to being the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} stat than {{stat|Attack}}, Hydreigon's stats give it a number of unique characteristics from the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Consequently, it has the highest base Special Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and likewise, the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Similarly, it is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat over 125, but it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat under 90.

Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon with multiple elemental immunities (however its immunity to {{t|Ground}} is due to its Ability, {{a|Levitate}}). Of the {{type|Dragon}} pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it is the only one not to have a 4× weaknesses to {{type|Ice}} attacks.

====Other====
* Tyranitar and Hydreigon are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that have a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* {{p|Metagross}} and Hydreigon are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that do not have any 4× weaknesses.
* Salamence and Metagross have the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon with a base 135 stat.
* Tyranitar and Metagross are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that are not Dragon-type.

==In the games==
These Pokémon are used in-game often by the members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], the final Elite Four member in [[Generation I]] and {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; it is used again by Lance as the Champion in [[Generation II]] and {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance uses a {{p|Dragonite}}, but when he is [[rematch|battled again]], he replaces two of his three Dragonite with the two other {{type|Dragon}} pseudo-legendary Pokémon, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}}. {{p|Tyranitar}} is also used by Lance in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (both Round 1 and 2), as well as by {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion, but only in the second round of the Elite Four in FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Salamence}} is used by {{EF|Drake}}, the final Elite Four member in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Steven Stone]], the Champion in Ruby and Sapphire, and ex-Champion in {{v2|Emerald}}. It is also used by [[Caitlin]] during her rematch. {{p|Garchomp}} is used by [[Cynthia]], the Champion in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. {{p|Hydreigon}} is used by [[Ghetsis]], who serves as the final boss in {{2v2|Black|White}}, as well as [[Iris]], the Champion in {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}

Although pseudo-legendary Pokémon are used almost exclusively by the final members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s, there are three minor exceptions in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}: {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Felix on {{rt|229|Sinnoh}} uses {{p|Salamence}}, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Jamie on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} has {{p|Metagross}}, serving as cameo appearances for the movie characters [[Butler]] and {{mov|Rebecca}}, who used these pseudo-legendary Pokémon in their respective {{pkmn|movie}}s. {{tc|Dragon Tamer}} Darien, who is located outside of [[Stark Mountain]], uses a Dragonite, but is not related to any movies.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form for the first two games of their Generation. However, {{p|Dragonair}} is obtainable in the wild in most games where {{p|Dratini}} is (all but {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}). Likewise, {{p|Pupitar}} is available in the wild in {{v2|Crystal}} and {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. {{p|Gabite}} is also found in {{si|Victory Road}} in {{v2|Platinum}}. {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Shelgon}} can also be found in the {{safari|Johto}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Shelgon}}, {{p|Salamence}}, the entire {{p|Garchomp}} line, {{p|Zweilous}} and {{p|Hydreigon}} are the only stages that cannot be caught in the wild. For the first time, final stages of pseudo-legendary Pokémon can be caught in the wild.

===As Shadow Pokémon===
In story mode of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Nascour]] and Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by [[Evice]]; it is notable that the two [[Cipher]] leaders have positions comparable to those of the final [[Elite Four]] member and {{pkmn|Champion}}, respectively. {{Pokémon XD}} complemented the list of pseudo-legendarary Pokémon as of [[Generation III]] by featuring Shadow {{p|Salamence}} (used by [[Eldes]]) and Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} (used by [[Miror B.]]). Another commonality is that all four pseudo-legendary Pokémon have {{m|Shadow Rush}} as one of their Shadow moves.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia Garchomp.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in the anime]]
All pseudo-legendary Pokémon have appeared in the anime.
* {{p|Dragonite}} debuted [[Giant Pokémon|as a silhouette]] in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', but appeared physically in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
** Dragonite has also appeared {{TP|Drake|belonging to Drake|Dragonite}} and {{TP|Lance|to Lance|Dragonite}}, who are both regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s.
** {{an|Iris}} caught a {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} in [[BW089]].
* {{p|Tyranitar}} debuted in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.
* {{p|Salamence}} debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
* {{p|Metagross}} debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.
* {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', belonging to [[Cynthia]].
** Cynthia's Garchomp also appeared in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.
* {{p|Hydreigon}} debuted in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'' under the ownership of [[Carlita]]. It was a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in the former. It made its anime debut in [[BW089]].

==Trivia==
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation so far to have introduced more than one pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* All pseudo-legendary Pokémon that existed at the time were available as [[Shadow Pokémon]] in either [[Pokémon Colosseum]] (Tyranitar and Metagross) or {{Pokémon XD}} (Dragonite and Salamence).
* Among Pokémon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendary Pokémon are {{p|Slaking}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Haxorus}}. For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon. However, it lacks a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking's high stats are likely due to being hindered by its Ability, {{a|Truant}}.
* {{Ash}} is the first main character in the anime to own [[Ash's Gible|a member]] of a pseudo-legendary family; however, it could be considered his second if {{AP|Larvitar}} is counted, but he only cared for it temporarily.
* The first stage of the first five of six pseudo-legendary Pokémon are available in [[Generation IV]]'s [[Johto Safari Zone]].
* {{p|Tyranitar}} is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that is not the main Pokémon of a major boss at the end of the game it was introduced in: {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], {{p|Salamence}} by {{EF|Drake}}, Metagross by [[Steven Stone]], {{p|Garchomp}} by [[Cynthia]], and {{p|Hydreigon}} by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]].

* {{p|Metagross}} is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that doesn't share at least one type with another pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that cannot learn any {{type|Dragon}} moves.
* Every pseudo-legendary Pokémon is immune to at least one [[type]]: {{p|Dragonite}} to {{t|Ground}}, {{p|Tyranitar}} to {{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Metagross}} to {{t|Poison}}, {{p|Salamence}} to {{t|Ground}}, {{p|Garchomp}} to {{t|Electric}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} to {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Ground}}.
** However, Hydreigon's immunity to Ground-type moves is due to its Ability, {{a|Levitate}} rather than due to its type.

*Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary pokemon that doesn't apear in the movie, beside Pokemon World intro.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon

2012-07-28T07:38:09Z

TopCoordinatorAlex: /* Trivia */

'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, two [[type]]s, [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]], and a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than other non-[[legendary Pokémon]], possibly due to their high base stats.

==List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon==
There are six Pokémon considered to be pseudo-legendary Pokémon. The following shows the pseudo-legendary Pokémon by the generation of their introduction, as well as their types, and the Pokémon they evolve from.

==Characteristics==
With the exception of the {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Hydreigon}} evolutionary lines, pseudo-legendary Pokémon are usually situated adjacent to the [[legendary trio]]s in the [[Pokédex]]es of their respective [[generation]]s. In both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]], the evolutionary lines of {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} are located just after the [[legendary trio]] of their respective Generation (they are located next to each other in the Johto Pokédex). Similarly, the {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Metagross}} lines are located next to each other right before the [[legendary golems]] in both the National Pokédex and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. Oddly, this tradition was not upheld in [[Generation IV]], as the Garchomp [[evolution]] line is situated next to no notable Pokémon. In [[Generation V]], the Hydreigon line is located next to the {{p|Volcarona}} line, which is adjacent to the legendary Pokémon.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon usually have {{stat|Attack}} as their highest stat. This is not the case with Hydreigon, which has {{stat|Special Attack}} as its highest stat. Their respective base evolutions' base stat total are {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 300|300}}, while their second stage' base stat total are {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 420|420}}, excluding {{p|Pupitar}} and {{p|Gabite}}, which have {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 410|410}}.

===Statistical averages===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=94.33 |
Attack=128.83 |
Defense=100 |
SpAtk=100.83 |
SpDef=90.83 |
Speed=85.17 }}

===Individual characteristics===
====Dragonite====
Aside from being the first pseudo-legendary Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, Dragonite has the highest Special Defense tied with Tyranitar.

====Tyranitar====
Tyranitar is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that can neither fly nor levitate, as well as the slowest of the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. When a {{weather|sandstorm}} is raging, Tyranitar's {{stat|Special Defense}} becomes the highest of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

====Salamence====
Physically, Salamence is the shortest pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Salamence has the lowest defenses of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon. However, it has the highest Attack (tied with Metagross).

====Metagross====
Metagross has a large number of characteristics which are different from the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon. This is likely due to how it is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not appear to be based on a reptile; rather, it is a robotic life form. This is likely why Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon not to be used by [[Lance]] in any game, as he prefers {{type|Dragon}} and draconic Pokémon.

Metagross is the only genderless pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose first stage of evolution, {{p|Beldum}}, cannot be caught in the wild in its debut generation (one is received from [[Steven Stone]] instead). Metagross and its pre-evolutions have a [[catch rate]] of 3 (all the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon families have a catch rate of 45), and it has the highest base Defense of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Metagross is also the only pseudo-legendary in the super-heavyweight class.

====Garchomp====
Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], as well as having the fewest resistances. It is the fastest with a base {{stat|Speed}} stat of 102 and has the highest base {{stat|HP}}, with 108. It is also the lightest pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

====Hydreigon====
Due to being the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} stat than {{stat|Attack}}, Hydreigon's stats give it a number of unique characteristics from the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Consequently, it has the highest base Special Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and likewise, the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Similarly, it is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat over 125, but it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat under 90.

Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon with multiple elemental immunities (however its immunity to {{t|Ground}} is due to its Ability, {{a|Levitate}}). Of the {{type|Dragon}} pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it is the only one not to have a 4× weaknesses to {{type|Ice}} attacks.

====Other====
* Tyranitar and Hydreigon are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that have a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* {{p|Metagross}} and Hydreigon are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that do not have any 4× weaknesses.
* Salamence and Metagross have the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon with a base 135 stat.
* Tyranitar and Metagross are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that are not Dragon-type.

==In the games==
These Pokémon are used in-game often by the members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], the final Elite Four member in [[Generation I]] and {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; it is used again by Lance as the Champion in [[Generation II]] and {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance uses a {{p|Dragonite}}, but when he is [[rematch|battled again]], he replaces two of his three Dragonite with the two other {{type|Dragon}} pseudo-legendary Pokémon, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}}. {{p|Tyranitar}} is also used by Lance in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (both Round 1 and 2), as well as by {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion, but only in the second round of the Elite Four in FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Salamence}} is used by {{EF|Drake}}, the final Elite Four member in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Steven Stone]], the Champion in Ruby and Sapphire, and ex-Champion in {{v2|Emerald}}. It is also used by [[Caitlin]] during her rematch. {{p|Garchomp}} is used by [[Cynthia]], the Champion in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. {{p|Hydreigon}} is used by [[Ghetsis]], who serves as the final boss in {{2v2|Black|White}}, as well as [[Iris]], the Champion in {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}

Although pseudo-legendary Pokémon are used almost exclusively by the final members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s, there are three minor exceptions in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}: {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Felix on {{rt|229|Sinnoh}} uses {{p|Salamence}}, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Jamie on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}} has {{p|Metagross}}, serving as cameo appearances for the movie characters [[Butler]] and {{mov|Rebecca}}, who used these pseudo-legendary Pokémon in their respective {{pkmn|movie}}s. {{tc|Dragon Tamer}} Darien, who is located outside of [[Stark Mountain]], uses a Dragonite, but is not related to any movies.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form for the first two games of their Generation. However, {{p|Dragonair}} is obtainable in the wild in most games where {{p|Dratini}} is (all but {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}). Likewise, {{p|Pupitar}} is available in the wild in {{v2|Crystal}} and {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. {{p|Gabite}} is also found in {{si|Victory Road}} in {{v2|Platinum}}. {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Shelgon}} can also be found in the {{safari|Johto}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Shelgon}}, {{p|Salamence}}, the entire {{p|Garchomp}} line, {{p|Zweilous}} and {{p|Hydreigon}} are the only stages that cannot be caught in the wild. For the first time, final stages of pseudo-legendary Pokémon can be caught in the wild.

===As Shadow Pokémon===
In story mode of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Nascour]] and Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by [[Evice]]; it is notable that the two [[Cipher]] leaders have positions comparable to those of the final [[Elite Four]] member and {{pkmn|Champion}}, respectively. {{Pokémon XD}} complemented the list of pseudo-legendarary Pokémon as of [[Generation III]] by featuring Shadow {{p|Salamence}} (used by [[Eldes]]) and Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} (used by [[Miror B.]]). Another commonality is that all four pseudo-legendary Pokémon have {{m|Shadow Rush}} as one of their Shadow moves.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia Garchomp.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in the anime]]
All pseudo-legendary Pokémon have appeared in the anime.
* {{p|Dragonite}} debuted [[Giant Pokémon|as a silhouette]] in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', but appeared physically in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
** Dragonite has also appeared {{TP|Drake|belonging to Drake|Dragonite}} and {{TP|Lance|to Lance|Dragonite}}, who are both regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s.
** {{an|Iris}} caught a {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} in [[BW089]].
* {{p|Tyranitar}} debuted in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.
* {{p|Salamence}} debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
* {{p|Metagross}} debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.
* {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', belonging to [[Cynthia]].
** Cynthia's Garchomp also appeared in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.
* {{p|Hydreigon}} debuted in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'' under the ownership of [[Carlita]]. It was a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in the former. It made its anime debut in [[BW089]].

==Trivia==
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation so far to have introduced more than one pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* All pseudo-legendary Pokémon that existed at the time were available as [[Shadow Pokémon]] in either [[Pokémon Colosseum]] (Tyranitar and Metagross) or {{Pokémon XD}} (Dragonite and Salamence).
* Among Pokémon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendary Pokémon are {{p|Slaking}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Haxorus}}. For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon. However, it lacks a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking's high stats are likely due to being hindered by its Ability, {{a|Truant}}.
* {{Ash}} is the first main character in the anime to own [[Ash's Gible|a member]] of a pseudo-legendary family; however, it could be considered his second if {{AP|Larvitar}} is counted, but he only cared for it temporarily.
* The first stage of five of the six pseudo-legendary Pokémon are available in [[Generation IV]]'s [[Johto Safari Zone]].
* {{p|Tyranitar}} is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that is not the main Pokémon of a major boss at the end of the game it was introduced in: {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], {{p|Salamence}} by {{EF|Drake}}, Metagross by [[Steven Stone]], {{p|Garchomp}} by [[Cynthia]], and {{p|Hydreigon}} by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]].
** However, Tyranitar was used by {{ga|Blue}} in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], but only in the [[rematch]].
* {{p|Metagross}} is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that doesn't share at least one type with another pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that cannot learn any {{type|Dragon}} moves.
* Every pseudo-legendary Pokémon is immune to at least one [[type]]: {{p|Dragonite}} to {{t|Ground}}, {{p|Tyranitar}} to {{t|Psychic}}, {{p|Metagross}} to {{t|Poison}}, {{p|Salamence}} to {{t|Ground}}, {{p|Garchomp}} to {{t|Electric}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} to {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Ground}}.
** However, Hydreigon's immunity to Ground-type moves is due to its Ability, {{a|Levitate}} rather than due to its type.

*Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary pokemon that doesn't apear in the movie, beside Pokemon World intro.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} learn Hydro Pump only in [[Generation I]]. As of Generation II, they are no longer able to learn this move by any means.
* {{p|Lugia}} is the only non-{{type|Water}} to learn Hydro Pump by level-up, with the exception of {{p|Castform}} who ''can'' be a Water-type.
** Bagon is the only non-Water-type to learn Hydro Pump through breeding.
* In all 3D games, Hydro Pump is represented as a thick blast of water. When any Pokémon uses it, a single stream is shown, however, when {{p|Blastoise}} uses this move, two streams are fired at the target.

'''Samurott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダイケンキ''' ''Daikenki'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Unova starters evolution artwork.png|left|thumb|200px|Poster showing Samurott standing on its hind legs and carrying its unsheathed seamitar]]
===Physiology===
Samurott is a quadruped, blue sea lion-like Pokémon. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and on the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. Its underbelly is covered by a dull bluish gray seashell-like carapace, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, looking as if comprised of seashells with the forelimbs’ bracers being the swords called [[Scalchop|seamitars]] that it uses in battle. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords. The upper segment and spike make up the seamitar and its handle, respectively. Samurott possess three navy digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige like the seashell-like portions of its body.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Part of the armor on its forefeet is a sword; one swing of it can beat opponents. It can silence foes with its glare alone and can dominate foes simply by howling. When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight.

===Behavior===
It glares and howls at opponents to silence and dominate them.

===Habitat===
As Samurott is amphibious, it lives by the water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Leeku Samurott.png|thumb|right|Samurott in the anime]]

===Major appearances===

===Minor appearances===
A Samurott appeared in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', under the ownership of [[Leeku]]. It fought and lost to [[Ash's Tepig]] in a tournament in [[Eindoak Town]], after Tepig received a power boost from [[Victini (M14)|Victini]]'s powers.

==In the manga==
===In the Pocket Monsters BW: Meetings with the Legends manga===
{{OBP|Touya|MWL}} has a Samurott which evolved from his Dewott.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Samurott, {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Emboar}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* Samurott's evolutionary line and {{p|Turtwig}}'s evolutionary line are the only [[starter Pokémon]] evolutionary lines that share Hidden Abilities.
* Samurott is the only quadrupedal fully-evolved {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]].

===Origin===
Samurott is based on a {{wp|sea lion}} with characteristics of a {{wp|samurai}} or {{wp|shogun}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> Samurott's tail may be based on a {{wp|Japanese war fan}}. The "helmet" over its head is based on the ''{{wp|Murex altispira}}'' shell.

====Name origin====
Samurott is a combination of ''samurai'' and ''otter''.

Daikenki is the complete [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji#On.27yomi_.28Chinese_reading.29 on'yomi] (Chinese sound) reading of "大剣鬼", mean "big sword-wielding demon" (its Chinese and Korean names are based on this reading). This is a combination of 大 ''dai'' (meaning "big"), and 剣鬼 ''kenki'' (meaning "sword-wielding demon" or "swordmaster"; 剣 ''ken'' means "sword", and 鬼 ''ki'' means "demon"). 大 ''dai'' may refer to Samurott's place in the evolutionary line, as the 'biggest' and therefore the final evolution.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cress anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Cress in the anime]]
Cress makes his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow [[Gym Leader]]s {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]]. Along with Chili, he first makes his appearance when Cilan brings {{Ash}} to the Gym where he then proceeds to take his drink order. Ash declines saying he wants to battle the Gym Leader, and as he gets up to leave Cress and his brothers introduce themselves as the leaders. They then lead Ash to the battleground where they introduced their individual Pokémon.

He was the second to battle Ash, where he proceeded to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}}. He appears again at the beginning of ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' where he and his brothers present the {{Badge|Trio}} to Ash. Later he and Chili say goodbye to Cilan, who had decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' where he and Chili inform [[Burgundy]] that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again.

Cress reappeared in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' where he informed Cilan over the phone of the reason why Chili was not at the Gym. Contrary to what Chili had said, he had not left in order to study but had run away. Chili had asked him the night he ran away why he kept losing. Cress told him that he focused too much on offense while giving little consideration to defense. As he feared, Chili took it as an insult and ran away. Cress was pleased when Cilan told him he would help Chili with his battle style and help get his confidence back and thanked him for it.

He, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in this case, water. Unlike his brothers, Cress tends to speak about himself in third-person in the Japanese version. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors—in Cress's case, he tends to accentuate words with his fingers.

It was shown to be an extremely powerful Pokémon, able to defeat Pikachu without suffering any damage. It was the second Pokémon to face Ash in his Gym battle, Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}. Panpour's {{m|Double Team}} confused Pikachu, after which Panpour landed a powerful {{m|Scratch}}. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Panpour's {{m|Water Gun}} hit Pikachu before he could execute his move. Pikachu then tried a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Panpour's {{m|Mud Sport}} stopped Pikachu in his tracks, after which another Water Gun knocked him out.

Panpour's known moves are {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Scratch}}, {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Mud Sport}}.}}

===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga, Cress appears along with his brothers Cilan and Chili. They are seen in [[PMBW03]], where [[Isamu Akai]] and his Pokémon visit a restaurant owned by the three brothers. {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, but fails on many occasions.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Cress Adventures.png|right|thumb|140px|Cress in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cress, along with his brothers, are first seen when {{adv|Black}} sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Later, Cress appears at the Striaton Gym with his brothers where they serve tea to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger, Black.

After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Cress and his brothers prove powerful by using type advantages over their opponents Pokémon. Despite the strength they possess, Cress, Chili, and Cilan are defeated once Black has his [[Tep]] use Pansage's fallen leaves to revive {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}} and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}, allowing them to win the battle 3 to 2. Having lost the battle, Cress presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}.

He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position, in Cress's case, crossed in front of him.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon {{an|Misty}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
[[File:Togepi Egg.png|220px|thumb|left|Togepi's Egg]]
===Kanto===
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon Egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the Egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the Egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, even though Ash won the tournament, thinking that she was its mother.

===Orange Islands===
Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time it happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used Metronome to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack from a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Barrier}}.

===Johto===
Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, Togepi ended up defeating Pikachu.

In ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'', it used Metronome a third time to teleport [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Egg]] away from {{TRT}}.

In the Christmas specials, Togepi was seen running away from {{AP|Pikachu}} and brought the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} back to its family. It was also seen making the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman.

===Hoenn===
As Ash, Brock, May, and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen is an impure-hearted person, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the [[Togepi Paradise]].

Togepi later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and defeated Hansen's {{p|Shedinja}} with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty respected her Togetic's decision to stay behind and {{pkmn2|released}} it, so it could protect the Kingdom, the Togepi Paradise, and the Togepi who lived there.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Togetic}}
As a Togepi, it was sometimes mischievous. Despite being a baby, it would often wander away from the group and get itself and Pikachu into dangerous situations, usually resulting in Pikachu getting hurt but Togepi walking away unharmed. It was also very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and {{pkmn2|wild}}. The most notable were a {{p|Voltorb}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]'', a {{p|Sentret}} in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', and, much to Misty's dislike, a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

==Trivia==
* Before Misty hatched her {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, Togetic was the only Pokémon she owned that was not of the {{type|Water}}.
* Togetic is the first anime Pokémon hatched from an Egg that could evolve twice (later followed by [[Ash's Larvitar]], [[Brock's Chansey|Brock's Happiny]], [[Misty's Azurill]] and [[Dawn's Quilava|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]), though it was not able to do so when it was last seen, as Togekiss was not introduced until Generation IV.
* As a Togepi, it was the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the anime. As a Togetic, it is the most recent to make an anime debut.

TopCoordinatorAlex: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|right|250px|Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]

'''Legendary golems''' is the collective term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. They are also known as the '''Regi trio''' or just the '''Regis''', due to the beginnings of their names.

Unlike previous trios, the golems share very similar names, and their types are further estranged from the original {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} that the [[legendary birds|birds]] take on (two of the [[legendary beasts|beasts]] share types with the birds, while only {{p|Regice|one of the golems}} does). Like them, however, these three have a [[trio master|master]] (and like the beasts, a creator) in {{p|Regigigas}}.

Originally, their types could have been a reference to the three major ages in history, the {{wp|Stone Age}}, {{wp|Ice Age}}, and the {{wp|Iron Age}}, respectively. Their master, Regigigas, could also be a reference to the {{wp|Mesozoic Era}}, as it is famed by legend to have towed the continents in the Pokémon world.

Also shared among the members of this trio is a weakness to {{type|Fighting}} moves. Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the [[braille]] that is connected to their legend. Unlike the birds and beasts, the golems do not have {{a|Pressure}} as their Ability, though they do share the Ability {{a|Clear Body}}.

In the anime and outside ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', they appeared as somewhat less important than the previous two trios, even being trained, in [[Poké Ball]]s, no less, by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, while the birds are said to cause a cataclysm if even one is captured (as happened in [[M02|the second movie]]) and the beasts are unable to be captured by conventional means.

One of the many reasons why this trio is seen as "easily attainable" is because of the legends surrounding them. Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents into place, and then created the three from an icy mountain, rocks, and magma in its image. Regigigas was apparently worshiped at one time, alongside the other three, by ancient people. Due to it being so powerful, Regigigas was sealed away in the basement of the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while the ones it created were spirited to the far-off [[Hoenn]] region and locked away in three stone structures, which were then sealed themselves. A message was left in braille to whoever would come to discover the [[Sealed Chamber]], whose only access was via an [[underwater]] cavern, in the hopes that one day the Pokémon could be {{pkmn2|Caught|tamed}}.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald===
In the Hoenn [[Generation III]] games, Regirock is found in the [[Desert Ruins]], on Route 111. To encounter Regirock, the player must go two steps to the right, two steps down and then use {{m|Strength}}. In Emerald, the player must go two steps to the left, then two steps down and use {{m|Rock Smash}}. Regice is found in the [[Island Cave]], on Route 105 and to encounter it a clockwise lap around the walls of the cave must be taken. Registeel is found in the [[Ancient Tomb]], on Route 120 and it is required to go to the middle of the room and use {{m|Flash}} to open up Registeel's cave.

===Pokémon Platinum===
The three golems are only obtainable in Pokémon Platinum if the {{player}} has a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Regigigas}} in their party. Regirock is obtainable in the [[Rock Peak Ruins]] on Route 228, Regice is obtainable in the [[Iceberg Ruins]] in Mt. Coronet and Registeel is obtainable in the [[Iron Ruins]] on Iron Island.



==In the anime==
[[File:The Three Regis.png‎|thumb|250px|right|All three Regis in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
{{main|Legendary golems (M08)}}
The legendary golems made their debut in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] from intruders. They each followed {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], [[Kidd Summers|Kidd]], [[Jessie]], and [[James]] throughout the tunnel network beneath the Tree of Beginning. Once the intruders had all been consumed by the Tree, the legendary golems retreated.

{{main|Brandon's Regis}}
The legendary golems made their anime debuts under the ownership of [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]], each of which battled Ash's Pokémon throughout his journey to collect the [[Symbol]]s. When Ash had finally defeated Regice, he was awarded the Brave Symbol.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, the event needed to unlock the legendary golems is referenced in Battle Mode's Single Battle Mount Battle. The 90th Trainer, [[Area Leader]] Axley, has a party consisting of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Relicanth}}, and {{p|Wailord}}. Flygon is likely included because it can know {{m|Dig}}, required to unseal the golems.
* When the golems are encountered in {{game|Platinum}}, a remixed version of the music used in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} is played.
* The method used to catch the golems has changed in every game they have been obtainable in:
** The required party positions of {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}} are switched between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
** In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the three golems must be migrated from Generation III in order to capture {{p|Regigigas}}, while a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Regigigas}} is required to catch the other three in Platinum.
* Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are the only [[Generation III]] [[legendary Pokémon]] to not be featured in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* Regice, regirock and Registeel learn a new move every 8 levels.

Legendary beasts

2012-06-16T03:06:35Z

TopCoordinatorAlex: /* Trivia */

[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|300px|Raikou, Entei and Suicune]]The '''legendary beasts''' is the collective term used to refer to the [[Legendary trio|trio]] of {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}.

==History==
A direct counterpart to the [[legendary birds|Generation I trio]], the beasts find their [[trio master|master]] in {{p|Ho-Oh}}, who revived them when [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] burned. They are said to embody the three events that happened to the tower: the {{t|Electric|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{t|fire}} that burned in the tower, and the {{wp|wind}}s and {{t|Water|rain}} that put it out. It is unknown whether these three were already a Suicune, Raikou, and Entei before they were revived, or whether Ho-oh actually {{wp|reincarnated}} them from three non-legendary Pokémon. It is speculated, however, that the three that Ho-Oh created are not the only members of their respective species, but rather, are the original individuals that gave rise to their entire populations. In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} speaks about the Suicune in question as if the Pokémon was only part of a species. Pokédex entries also state that an Entei is born every time a volcano erupts, which clashes with the myth that Entei's roar can cause volcanoes to erupt. In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, an Entei statue was brought to life when the player completes all four challenges of the [[Jungle Relic]]. It was later captured by [[Gordor]], along with the other two beasts, showing that [[Fiore]] might have its own trio of beasts. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the legendary beasts play an important role in the game's progress as well.

Of the three beasts, Suicune finds the most independence, appearing as a [[version mascot]] on the box art of {{v2|Crystal}}, and taking an expanded role in that game. Suicune also appears in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' as a protagonist, while Entei was the first of the three to have a movie appearance, in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. Raikou was delegated to a more minor role, appearing as the central character in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', where {{Jo|Jimmy}}, not {{Ash}}, encountered it. However, [[Misty's Togepi]] and a {{p|Houndoom}} did see the silhouette of a Raikou in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. The Legendary Beasts made their first group appearance in the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', albeit in {{shiny}} form. By transferring the Shiny legendary beasts given away by promotional events to {{game|Black and White|s}}, players are able to battle and capture the Pokémon {{p|Zoroark}}, who will transform to a member of this trio during the battle.

==Availability==
[[File:Zoroark legendary beasts.png|thumb|left|The legendary beasts and Zoroark]]
The beasts are available in several of the Pokémon games. The three (reduced to just Raikou and Entei in {{v2|Crystal}}) are available [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Johto]] in [[Generation II]] and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions|remakes]]. Each has a [[base stats|base stat total]] of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 580|580}}, divided among the stats as 115-115-100-90-85-75, in different orders.

They are also found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, where one of the trio is roaming the [[Kanto]] region. The [[type]] of the one that happens to roam Kanto is the one that is [[super effective]] against the player's choice of a [[starter Pokémon]]. To be specific, Raikou appears to Trainers who chose {{p|Squirtle}}, Entei to those who took in {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and Suicune to those who chose to go with {{p|Charmander}}. They appear in the [[Generation III]] side series game, [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where they are transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] and owned by the admins [[Dakim]], [[Venus]], and [[Ein]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], each of them is the boss of one of the three sacred fields, requiring the Clear Wing to enter this trial in the first place. After the player defeats Entei at [[Fiery Field]] the Clear Wing becomes the Red Wing, allowing access to Raikou's [[Lightning Field]], defeating it turns the Red Wing into the Silver Wing, Suicune can then be fought at [[Northwind Field]] and defeating it will change the Silver Wing into the Rainbow Wing allowing access to [[Mt. Faraway]] so the player can battle the beast's trio master, {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Beasts HGSS Intro.png|200px|thumb|right|The legendary beasts and [[Eusine]], as seen in the intro of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
* Many refer to them as '''legendary cats''' or '''legendary dogs''', depending on if they personally see feline or canine features in the individual Pokémon. However, they are more likely based on many different creatures and mythological deities, such as {{wp|Raijū}}, the {{wp|Chinese guardian lions}}, and the {{wp|qilin}}. On top of that, they also seem to have been stylized to fit the classic idea of three '''jungle cats''' or '''jungle beasts'''-- the {{wp|tiger}}, {{wp|lion}}, and {{wp|cheetah}} (or {{wp|leopard}}).
* The legendary beasts are the first legendary Pokémon to get a special battle theme. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each legendary beast was given their own remixed version of the original legendary beast music from [[Generation II]]. The three songs are similar, but use different instruments: Suicune's uses bells, Entei's uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's uses synthesized music.
* A representation of the legendary beasts was used as the set symbol for the {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} card expansion.
* {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Raikou}} are the only pure {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}} [[legendary Pokémon]], respectively.
* The initials for the three beasts are the same as the initials for the three [[Hoenn]]-based games: {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In addition, their battle theme [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|exists]] in Ruby and Sapphire coding.
* All of the Legendary Dogs learn a new move every 7 levels.

'''Ash's Gliscor''' (Japanese: '''サトシのグライオン''' ''Satoshi's Glion'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught|caught}} by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==History==
===Sinnoh===
[[File:Ash Gligar.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Gligar, with Ash]]
Ash caught Gliscor as a Gligar in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' It, along with many other {{p|Gligar}} and a {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}, had become trapped in a city after being blown there by a violent windstorm. Gliscor's attempts at using sonar to navigate out of the city were blocked by the tall buildings, and only served to attract more Gligar and the Pokémon soon formed a pack.

The pack survived by picking fruit from trees and stealing food from humans. After Ash and his friends helped the pack, Gligar decided to travel with Ash, allowing him to capture it.

Gligar seems to have a habit of sticking out its tongue and winking when appearing. It also has the tendency to crash land on top of Ash due to its inability to glide properly. It would also cry when scolded by Ash as shown in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' and ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]''. Not only that, Gligar seems to be a crybaby of sorts, tearing up very often, especially in fear. As a Gligar, it was terribly afraid of heights. Additionally, Gligar seems to be extremely eager to win Ash's attention and approval.

It evolved into a Gliscor in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'' in order to save Ash from a fall. It used the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} Ash received from {{Gary}} after Gligar had a practice battle with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}. It appears to have kept its personality traits even after evolution, as it still cries when scolded by Ash and also winks and sticks its tongue out.

Since evolution, Gliscor has been used in more battles. In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', Gliscor was used as a sparring partner by {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} to help illustrate how {{AP|Grotle}} could deal with its reduced speed. In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Gliscor battled {{an|Barry}}'s {{p|Roserade}} and the battle ended in a tie, with both Pokémon knocking each other out at the same time. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Gliscor learned {{m|Fire Fang}} after being hit by an {{m|Ice Shard}} from {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}}, and is revealed to have learned {{m|Screech}} some time off-screen. In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' it was used in its first gym battle, against [[Byron]], defeating his {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}, earning Ash his {{Badge|Mine}}. In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' it was used in the gym battle against [[Candice]], where it was easily defeated by her {{p|Snover}}.
[[File:Ash and Gliscor.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash and Gliscor]]
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', Gliscor battled {{TP|Paul|Paul's Torterra|Torterra}} in Ash's full battle against [[Paul]]. Although it was able to cause a good amount of damage as well as using its speed to dodge Torterra's attacks, it couldn't escape {{m|Giga Drain}}, as a result being weakened while Torterra's health was restored. Ash then decided to recall Gliscor, only to use it again against Torterra later on where it was defeated after being hit with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

In ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]'', Gliscor battled against [[McCann]]'s {{p|Scizor}} and lost. After training with {{Ash}} it challenged Scizor to a rematch. During the battle, Gliscor learned {{m|Giga Impact}}, and although it improved overnight, it eventually lost. Ash then left Gliscor with McCann for further training. It returned to Ash's party in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' for its Trainer's battle against Paul in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

It was seen training alongside Ash for his upcoming battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', where it was revealed to have grown significantly during its time with McCann. It was also shown to have perfected {{m|Giga Impact}} in a practice match with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. In ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'', it battled [[Paul#Ninjask|Paul's Ninjask]] and was shown to have learned {{m|Stone Edge}} while training with McCann. Unfortunately, it was not enough to defeat Ninjask, and so was recalled when it began to show signs of tiring. Ash sent it out again against [[Paul#Drapion|Paul's Drapion]] later in the battle, where it was shown to do quite well, hitting Drapion with a powerful {{m|Giga Impact}}, then attempting to strike it with {{m|X-Scissor}}. McCann's training showed in this battle.

In the [[DP188|following episode]], Gliscor put up a tough fight against Paul's Drapion. Even though Drapion had knocked out three of Ash's Pokémon, Gliscor was able to defeat it by {{DL|Status ailment|burn|burning|}} it with a Fire Fang. It continued battling against [[Paul's Electivire]]. Although it had a type advantage Gliscor had taken a lot of damage after battling Ninjask and Drapion, so it was quickly defeated.

Following the Lily of the Valley Conference, it is currently unknown if Gliscor was sent to Professor Oak's laboratory or if it has returned to train with McCann.

==Moves Improvised==
*'''Shrouded Giga Impact''' It was first used in [[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser]] in the battle with Ash vs Paul. Paul commands Drapion to use Cross Poison and Ash told Gliscor to use Stone Edge and when the two moves collided a big smoke cloud in its place Glisor used Giga Impact to confuse it's opponent about were it was going to land the blow, and when Gliscor successfully landed the blow it rolled to get out of range quickly.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash riding Gliscor.png|200px|Gliscor carrying Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}|thumb|right]]
* In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Gligar.
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States. The same thing happened to Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}}.
* Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon that has evolved via an item ({{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}}).
* Gliscor was {{Ash}}'s first Pokémon on his [[Sinnoh]] team to reach its final evolutionary form.
* Out of all Ash's Pokémon, Gliscor has used the most different types of moves, at 6 different types used.

'''Snivy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツタージャ''' ''Tsutarja'') is a {{type2|Grass}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It evolves into {{p|Servine}} starting at level 17, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, Snivy is one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] region, able to be chosen at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snivy is a reptilian Grass-type Pokémon. Most of its body is green in coloration, while it has a cream-colored underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail, and it also has yellow markings around its large eyes. Yellow, curved structures protrude from its shoulders and bend backwards. These structures resemble leaves or small wings, as well as a {{wp|fleur-de-lis}} when viewed from the back, and give Snivy the appearance of wearing a collar. In spite of being snake-like in appearance, it has fully-developed limbs. Its slender arms are the same green color as the rest of its body and have three fingers, while its tiny feet match its underside in coloration and have no digits whatsoever. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It absorbs energy in the sunlight via photosynthesis through the leaf on its tail to grow more powerful, which also sharpens its movements and agility.

===Behavior===
It is a smart Pokémon with a cool demeanor. It is very calm and doesn't panic even when faced with a bigger foe. It usually basks in the sun and undergoes photosynthesis with its tail, which droops when it loses energy.

===Habitat===
Mostly they live in tall grass in forests, or in trees.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====Trip's Snivy====
{{main|Trip's Servine}}
In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', [[Professor Juniper]] gave [[Trip]] a {{TP|Trip|Snivy|Servine}} as his [[starter Pokémon]]. He was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}.

====Ash's Snivy====
{{main|Ash's Snivy}}
Ash's {{AP|Snivy}} first appeared in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She knows {{m|Attract}}, much to the dismay of Ash, who tried to catch her with most of his team being male. She was defeated by [[Ash's Tranquill|Pidove]] due to both of them having the same gender and Ash successfully captured her.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' multiple Trainers' Snivy were seen at a [[Poké Mart]].

Snivy is also featured along with the other starter Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as one of the starters in Professor Juniper's lab. While talking on the phone to Fennel, Tepig spilled some [[Berry Juice]] on Snivy, causing it to fight with Tepig. Eventually Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three starter Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their [[Poké Ball]]s, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers. Snivy was given to {{adv|Cheren}} by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought it resembled him.

==Trivia==
*Snivy learn a new move every 3 levels.
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Snivy and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Shortly after its release, much like many other [[Generation V]] Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on video gaming-focused blog [http://kotaku.com/5538319/pokemons-smugleaf-a-meme-in-the-making/ Kotaku] and later in an issue of [[a:File:NZAU Magazine Scan.jpg|Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand]], as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.
* [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy's personality was meant to be similar to that of European (particularly French) royalty, specifically mentioning ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' anime as inspiration. ''The Rose of Versailles'' was also the inspiration for [[Oscar and Andi|two characters of the day]] in the anime.
* Snivy is the first {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its [[regional Pokédex]], although it is still #001. It is also the only Grass-type starter Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Snivy has the lowest base stats of all Grass-type starter Pokémon.
* Snivy is the only Grass-type starter Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Monster}} and the first to be classified in the {{egg3|Field}}.
* Despite what its Pokédex entry for Black says, it cannot have the ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

===Origin===
Snivy may be based on the Green Vine Snake (''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}''), a slender snake with a pointed head that inhabits Central America and South America. Its color scheme resembles ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'' (Rough Green Snake), the North American grass snake that is likely the namesake of Snivy's species designation. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to that of the {{wp|skink}}, more specifically the {{wp|Neoseps}}. Neoseps heavily resemble snakes but have small, stubby legs. Its head and general body shape, as well as its protrusions on its shoulders, may be based on the {{wp|birds of paradise flowers}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false birds of paradise}}.

Snivy is likely a combination of ''snake'' and ''ivy''. It may also possibly invoke ''snide'', ''sly'', ''snark'', a snide remark, or ''snicker'', a sly or snide laugh.

Tsutarja is possibly derived from ツタ ''tsuta'', {{wp|Parthenocissus tricuspidata|Japanese ivy}}, and 蛇 ''ja'', snake.

'''Snivy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツタージャ''' ''Tsutarja'') is a {{type2|Grass}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It evolves into {{p|Servine}} starting at level 17, which evolves into {{p|Serperior}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, Snivy is one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] region, able to be chosen at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snivy is a reptilian Grass-type Pokémon. Most of its body is green in coloration, while it has a cream-colored underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail, and it also has yellow markings around its large eyes. Yellow, curved structures protrude from its shoulders and bend backwards. These structures resemble leaves or small wings, as well as a {{wp|fleur-de-lis}} when viewed from the back, and give Snivy the appearance of wearing a collar. In spite of being snake-like in appearance, it has fully-developed limbs. Its slender arms are the same green color as the rest of its body and have three fingers, while its tiny feet match its underside in coloration and have no digits whatsoever. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It absorbs energy in the sunlight via photosynthesis through the leaf on its tail to grow more powerful, which also sharpens its movements and agility.

===Behavior===
It is a smart Pokémon with a cool demeanor. It is very calm and doesn't panic even when faced with a bigger foe. It usually basks in the sun and undergoes photosynthesis with its tail, which droops when it loses energy.

===Habitat===
Mostly they live in tall grass in forests, or in trees.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Juniper Snivy.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Trip's Snivy====
{{main|Trip's Servine}}
In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', [[Professor Juniper]] gave [[Trip]] a {{TP|Trip|Snivy|Servine}} as his [[starter Pokémon]]. He was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}.

====Ash's Snivy====
{{main|Ash's Snivy}}
Ash's {{AP|Snivy}} first appeared in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She knows {{m|Attract}}, much to the dismay of Ash, who tried to catch her with most of his team being male. She was defeated by [[Ash's Tranquill|Pidove]] due to both of them having the same gender and Ash successfully captured her.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' multiple Trainers' Snivy were seen at a [[Poké Mart]].

{{main|Cheren's Snivy}}
Snivy is also featured along with the other starter Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga as one of the starters in Professor Juniper's lab. While talking on the phone to Fennel, Tepig spilled some [[Berry Juice]] on Snivy, causing it to fight with Tepig. Eventually Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three starter Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their [[Poké Ball]]s, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers. Snivy was given to {{adv|Cheren}} by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought it resembled him.

[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Snivy and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Shortly after its release, much like many other [[Generation V]] Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on video gaming-focused blog [http://kotaku.com/5538319/pokemons-smugleaf-a-meme-in-the-making/ Kotaku] and later in an issue of [[a:File:NZAU Magazine Scan.jpg|Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand]], as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.
* [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy's personality was meant to be similar to that of European (particularly French) royalty, specifically mentioning ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' anime as inspiration. ''The Rose of Versailles'' was also the inspiration for [[Oscar and Andi|two characters of the day]] in the anime.
* Snivy is the first {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its [[regional Pokédex]], although it is still #001. It is also the only Grass-type starter Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Snivy has the lowest base stats of all Grass-type starter Pokémon.
* Snivy is the only Grass-type starter Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Monster}} and the first to be classified in the {{egg3|Field}}.
* Despite what its Pokédex entry for Black says, it cannot have the ability {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

===Origin===
Snivy may be based on the Green Vine Snake (''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}''), a slender snake with a pointed head that inhabits Central America and South America. Its color scheme resembles ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'' (Rough Green Snake), the North American grass snake that is likely the namesake of Snivy's species designation. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to that of the {{wp|skink}}, more specifically the {{wp|Neoseps}}. Neoseps heavily resemble snakes but have small, stubby legs. Its head and general body shape, as well as its protrusions on its shoulders, may be based on the {{wp|birds of paradise flowers}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false birds of paradise}}.

====Name origin====
Snivy is likely a combination of ''snake'' and ''ivy''. It may also possibly invoke ''snide'', ''sly'', ''snark'', a snide remark, or ''snicker'', a sly or snide laugh.

Tsutarja is possibly derived from ツタ ''tsuta'', {{wp|Parthenocissus tricuspidata|Japanese ivy}}, and 蛇 ''ja'', snake.

[[File:PenguinShipping.png|right|thumb|220px|Dawn flirting with Kenny]]
'''PenguinShipping''' (Japanese: '''ケンヒカ''' ''KenHika'') is the belief of a romantic relationship between {{an|Dawn}} and {{si|Kenny}}. Kenny and Dawn are childhood friends, who are now [[Contest]] rivals. This Shipping is called PenguinShipping due to the fact that both of them have members of the {{p|Piplup}} [[evolution]] family. Even though not many hints exist due to Kenny's lack of appearances, it has been shown that he and Dawn know each other well. As a running gag in the series, Kenny calls Dawn ''Dee-Dee'' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). It can be considered to be one-sided canon on Kenny's side.

==Evidence==
===Kenny's hints===
* ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]''
: Kenny seems jealous of {{Ash}} and Dawn supposedly {{s|Pearl|being together}}. He promises to Dawn after [[Jessie]]'s appeal that he would make "that {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} lady look bad."
* ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''
: When Dawn is being lifted into the [[Solaceon Ruins]] due to the confused {{p|Unown}}, Kenny calls out her name. He does this again when Dawn falls, later in the episode. He is the only one who does this on both occasions. Towards the end of the episode, he wants to make sure Dawn did not find out how scared he was inside the ruins. When Brock says, "Everyone has secrets hidden in their closet," Kenny gets embarrassed.
* ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''
:When Dawn doesn't make it through the appeal round, Kenny says, "Oh, c'mon!" indicating that he wants Dawn to be there with him in the Contest. Also, when saying goodbye to her, Kenny shouts that he won't let Dawn quit Contests no matter what; when walking away, he sees that Dawn isn't waving goodbye like the rest, and looks upset.
* ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]''
: Kenny tells Dawn that her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} began to evolve because of what a great {{pkmn|Trainer}} she is. When Piplup runs away, Dawn runs over to Kenny and the rest of the group, and Kenny is the one to ask her what is wrong.
* ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]''
: Kenny wants Dawn to travel back to [[Twinleaf Town]] with him so that they can start training for the next [[Grand Festival]] together. But Dawn's not sure about going with him because she wants to root for Ash in the [[Sinnoh League]]. Kenny then tells her that he will battle Ash, and if he won, she would have to travel back home with him. He also says, "I just ''had'' to tell you how I feel." Even though Kenny won, he lets Dawn go with Ash, thinking that she would be happier that way.
: Brock approaches Kenny when Kenny wanted to have Dawn go on a journey with him, and offers to tell Kenny the secret of love. Even when Kenny said he isn't interested, Brock tells him the secret anyway: to keep putting his heart on the line. Kenny then admits Brock has given him hope.

===Dawn's hints===
* ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''
: Kenny, after making his appeal, talks alone with Dawn about watching her at the [[Wallace Cup]] and how he's going to follow, win, and get ahead of Dawn. In response, she blushes, holding her heart, and says, "Please, you're embarrassing me!" Also while waiting for the results of the appeal rounds, Dawn is nervous and tells Ash about her worries about Kenny. She blushes while doing this.
* ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]''
: When Kenny tells Dawn that he wants to go on a journey with her, he says, "I know this is a bit sudden, but I ''had'' to tell you how I feel!" He then runs off, and Dawn seems to be conflicted about Kenny's offer to go back to Twinleaf Town with him or going to the Sinnoh League with Ash. When Dawn sees how upset Kenny is after agreeing to let her go with Ash, she becomes saddened. Later, she leaves a note—as well as a Piplup figurine—behind at the [[Vista Lighthouse]], wishing Kenny luck in the future. She then waves goodbye to Kenny while she's on the boat heading to [[Lily of the Valley Island]] as he stands at the lighthouse.
: At the end of the letter she left at the [[Vista Lighthouse]], it reads, "P.S: One more thing, and I hope you don't mind, you looked kind of {{tt|handsome|'cool' in Japanese}} when you beat Ash."

===Other hints===
[[File:Kenny Blushing.png|190px|thumb|Kenny blushing]]
* ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]''
: When Kenny sees Dawn in her Contest dress, he is momentarily speechless. She starts flirting with Kenny and asks him if he thinks she's pretty. (Though she may have done this to make him embarrassed or was just playing around.) He blushes and quickly tries to change the subject.
*''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''
: At the end of the episode, Dawn seems concerned about Kenny leaving the Grand Festival so soon. Kenny then tells her, "Make sure that you don't lose to [[Ursula|that girl]] with the {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}, 'kay Dee-Dee?" Dawn replies, "It's Dawn", smiling then giggling. Kenny responds with, "Finally, a smile," and she laughs some more.

'''Dawn's Ambipom''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのエテボース''' ''Hikari's Eteboth'') is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be captured by {{ash}} in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Much later, she was traded to {{an|Dawn}} in exchange for {{AP|Buizel}}.

==History==
[[Image:AshAipom.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with Aipom]]
===With Ash===
Aipom was first seen in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong!]]'', worshiping a giant {{p|Slaking}} with several other mountain-dwelling Pokémon. She also stole [[Ash's hat]], much like [[Ash's Primeape]] did [[EP025|428 episodes earlier]], with a group of Aipom getting food to offer the Slaking. Later, Aipom joined the other Aipom, as well as several {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Vigoroth}} and {{p|Slaking}}, to attack the giant Slaking, which turned out to be a mechanical robot made by [[Team Rocket]]. She then helped in returning the stolen berries to {{ka|Taylor}}. Later, after Ash and his friends left Taylor's home, the group sees Ash's hat on a rock. After wondering who placed it there, they found out that it was Aipom, due to an apple and a flower she left with the hat. The group then continues their journey as Ash says Aipom is a cool Pokémon after all. Unknown to them, the happy Aipom was watching them from a nearby tree.

Aipom soon reappeared in the next episode, ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again.

In ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard]]'', due to her causing too much trouble, Ash attempted to catch her. After {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Quick Attack}} to get Ash's hat back and {{m|Thunderbolt}} to weaken her more, she was still able to foil Ash's capture attempt.

In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', as well as the previous episode, after watching {{an|May}} in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Aipom became thrilled with {{pkmn|battle|battling}} and challenged {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} for a battle; as he won, Ash finally {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} her in front of a huge crowd.

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance!]]'', Aipom became jealous of Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headgear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. The members of a crowd who wanted to crown, as well as Ash and his friends, attempted to remove the crown from her head so she would not become their king for a year. With the help of a [[Belue Berry]]'s sourness, the crown was finally taken off. Ash then hugged Aipom and told her not to get into trouble all the time. As Ash laughed a bit when he told her this, Aipom blushed.

Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of the said episode while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers. {{an|May}} said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 ''Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?''. In [[DP048]], Dawn also explicitly calls Aipom a girl, and in the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', both Aipom and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are referred to as girls, confirming them to be female.

Aipom enjoys participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Her interest was first perked in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' where she took an interest in May's battle with [[Harley]]. Aipom also watched her battle with [[Drew]] before enticing Ash into catching her. While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her [[Poké Ball]], in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.

In order to bring back {{AP|Torkoal}} to battle {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}} in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Ash sent Aipom to {{an|Professor Oak}}, where Aipom had trouble adjusting to the new environment and Ash's absence, even attacking the Professor. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.

When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], he wanted to leave all of his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]]. However, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey. As soon as they arrived, Team Rocket kidnapped Pikachu, and Aipom helped find them. During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom defeated {{AP|Paul's Chimchar|Infernape}} in battle and helped Ash capture his {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}}. Ash also used her in his first two [[Gym]] battles in the region.

In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Aipom entered her first contest with Ash. They got through the [[Appeals round]] but lost the first battle round to [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. After the battle, Zoey suggested that Ash should let Dawn raise Aipom.

In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', Aipom put up a fight against [[Roark]]'s {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}} in Ash's first gym match in [[Sinnoh]], but lost. In their rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', she defeated {{p|Geodude}}.

In ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', Aipom entered an unofficial contest under [[Jessie]]'s command and won against [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].

She was used in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym Battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' as well, going against [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Roserade}}, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his {{badge|Forest}}.

===With Dawn===
[[Image:DawnAipom.png|Dawn and Aipom|thumb|right|200px]]
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Ash began the training for his next Gym battle in [[Veilstone City]]. However, {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set his mind on Dawn's training; meanwhile Ash's Aipom appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because she tended to be more interested in Dawn's {{pkmn|Contest}} {{pkmn|training}}. Then Zoey proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s agreed, and the trade took place.

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Aipom managed to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. {{an|Brock}} told Dawn that Aipom would evolve soon. Later in the episode, when Dawn was being attacked by a group of {{p|Unown}}, Aipom jumped in front of Dawn to protect her and evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her appeal for the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, but failed to pass the [[Appeals round]]. [[Zoey]] explained to Dawn that she failed due to an overuse of {{m|Swift}}, blocking {{p|Ambipom}} from view. Ambipom also learned how to break dance, by spinning her tail to make waves of Swift attacks.

[[Image:D-Ambipom.png|Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Ambipom|thumb|left|250px]]
In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her gym battle against [[Maylene]]. She was chosen for her extensive battling experience with Ash. Ambipom proved her strength in the battle by defeating Maylene's {{p|Meditite}}, making her the only Pokémon Dawn used in the match who managed to defeat one of Maylene's team. Despite this Ambipom found herself unable to stand up to the strength of [[Maylene's Lucario]] and was quickly knocked out.

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', Dawn once again used Ambipom for the appeal round in the [[Wallace Cup]]. She managed to pass the round by dazzling the judges with {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Double Hit}}.
[[File:AshDawnAmbipom.png|Ambipom saying goodbye to Ash and Dawn|thumb|250px]]
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' Dawn used her in the {{to|Celestic}} Contest Battle Rounds. Ambipom was able to easily defeat her first two opponents and then went up against [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}}. Ambipom won the Contest by using combinations of {{m|Double Hit}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Swift}}.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', Ambipom was used in a Contest in [[Sandalstraw Town]], and was defeated by [[Kenny's Prinplup]] in the finals. During the Contest, she discovered a love and talent for {{wp|table tennis|ping pong}}. She used this talent to compete in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True]]'''s [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Due to her obvious natural ability, fellow competitor [[O]] offered her a place at his Ping Pong Training Center in [[Vermilion City]]. Dawn left the decision to Ambipom. After deciding to pursue Ping Pong over her love of Contests, Ambipom bid farewell to Dawn and Ash and left the group in order to follow her talent.

===Move improvised===
* '''Double Team-Swift''' was used in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'' when Aipom wanted to express her wish for performing in contest. Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}}, before jumping between them and using {{m|Swift}} to create a large glowing star and then lands on its tail. A variation of this was used in [[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]] when Aipom was used in an unofficial [[Pokemon Contest]] under Jessie's command, Aipom uses Double Team and forms into a circle and starts "dancing" and uses Swift and the Swift spins around the audience and then disperses into sparkles or Aipom would use Double Team and grab it's tail and form into a circle and use swift while spinning.
* '''Spin''' was used by Ambipom, when it was still an Aipom under Ash's command. The move was used to evade [[Roark]]'s {{p|Geodude}}'s {{m|Rollout}} in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]''.
* '''Spinning Swift''' was first used in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' where Aipom released a Swift that spun around Gardenia's Roserade. It was later used again in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'' (after Aipom evolved into Ambipom) where it was used against Maylene's Meditite.
*'''Rainbow Swift''' Ambipom balances herself with her hand and starts spinning her tails glow and the stars shoot out of it. Ambipom then spins on her back (break-dances) the stars then collide making spurts of rainbows.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Aipom. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about her: エイパムが　しっぽでつかむ　サトシのハート ''{{tt|Eipam|Aipom}}, it seizes with its tail, {{tt|Satoshi's|Ash's}} heart.''
* For ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', Professor Oak's lecture is about Dawn's Ambipom. This makes her the first Pokémon character to be the focus of the lecture twice.
* Due to now being Dawn's Pokémon, Aipom was the only Pokémon owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character. 
* Ambipom was the first Pokémon belonging to Dawn that evolved and her first fully evolved Pokémon.
* Ambipom is the only Pokémon of Dawn's that shares an English voice actress with her.
* Despite being given away in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Ambipom, unlike other Pokémon that left the main cast, was not removed from the [[High Touch!|opening sequence]] until the sequence itself was replaced over eight months later.

* Due to now being Dawn's Pokémon, Aipom was the only Pokémon owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character. 
* Ambipom was the first Pokémon belonging to Dawn that evolved and her first fully evolved Pokémon.
* Ambipom is the only Pokémon of Dawn's that shares an English voice actress with her.
* Despite being given away in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Ambipom, unlike other Pokémon that left the main cast, was not removed from the [[High Touch!|opening sequence]] until the sequence itself was replaced over eight months later.

TopCoordinatorAlex: /* Trivia */

A '''symbol''' (Japanese: '''シンボル''' ''symbol'') is an [[item]] which denotes a [[Pokémon Trainer]] as having defeated one of Hoenn's [[Frontier Brain]]s. They are the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Hoenn and Kanto Battle Frontier}}'s equivalent of a [[badge]]. There are two levels of them for each: silver and gold. The [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] equivalent is a [[commemorative print]]. Unlike badges, they do not allow new items to be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s.

==Trivia==
*Some of the patterns in the Symbols have similarities to the Frontier Brain's Battle Facility or the [[Frontier Brain]]'s Pokémon.
**The pattern on the Luck Symbol seems to represent the diamond patterns from Seviper.
**The pattern on the Tactics Symbol seems to be the Battle Dome if seen from above or is could stand for the first letter in Tucker's Japanese name ''Heath''.
**The pattern on the Brave Symbol seems to be the Battle Pyramid if seen from above.
**The pattern on the Ability Symbol seems to be the Battle Tower seen from below.

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]].

==History==
[[File:May Torchic.png|As a {{p|Torchic}}|thumb|left]]
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was creepy and scary (though she later called them cute in ''[[AG007|Trees a Crowd]]''), while the starter {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} in the face. However, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature. Early on in the journey, Torchic was very inexperienced and ditzy. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}}, and tended to wander around obliviously; it also tended to panic when in dangerous situations. On the group's first encounter with [[Jessie's Seviper]] (still wild at the time), the {{type2|Poison}} frightened Torchic by trying to eat it.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her new {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Torchic's personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} during ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', where it learned both {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Sky Uppercut}}. Combusken itself had a period of being highly aggressive, but this seems to have passed and its personality seems to have evened out more now that it apparently feels that it no longer has to overcompensate.

Combusken proved to be very useful for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. The first time it took part of one was in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' and ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove!]]'', when May used it in the [[Lilycove City]] Contest. Even though its Fire Spin caused problems during the appeal round, Combusken managed to get a score of 23.6, which helped May to reach the battle rounds. After defeating [[Jessie]] and [[James's Chimecho|Chimecho]], May had to battle [[Kelly]], a coordinator who she met prior to entering the Contest. Kelly and her {{p|Grumpig}} showed great talent and effort, but May and Combusken turned out as the winners, earning them the Lilycove Ribbon.

When May got enough ribbons, she participated on the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Combusken was used in her quarter-finals battle round against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} and [[Drew's Roselia|Roselia]], alongside [[May's Skitty|Skitty]], in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. Together, they managed to put up a great fight, but they were defeated, leaving May within the Top 8 coordinators of the Festival.

During [[Kanto]], Combusken had more appearances, due to the Pokémon Contests allowing coordinators to use different Pokémon for each round. In ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', Combusken was only used for the appeal round of the [[Saffron City]] Contest, where it used Fire Spin and Sky Uppercut on May's untied bandana to knot it back to her head. Later on, in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', it was used for the battle rounds of the [[Silver Town]] Pokémon contest. May and Combusken faced coordinator {{an|Jeremy}} and his {{p|Venusaur}} in the final match; after a really close battle, where the Grass-type used the strong move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, May and Combusken ended as the winners, earning them the ribbon.

In ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', it was used once again for the battle rounds, this time in the [[Chrysanthemum Island]] Convention. May and Combusken first faced Jessie and [[James's Mime Jr.|Mime Jr.]]: even though Mime Jr. used {{m|Mimic}} and the highly appealing {{m|Tickle}}, Combusken managed to win the match. On the final battle, May faced [[Brianna]] and her {{p|Vibrava}}; when Vibrava started to get the upper hand, Combusken learned {{m|Mega Kick}} and turned things around, defeating it in the end and granting May her third Kanto ribbon.
[[File:May Combusken.png|As a {{p|Combusken}}|thumb|left]]
Finally, in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', Combusken was used for the appeal round of the [[Mulberry City]] Pokémon Contest. Team Rocket, who banded together with May's rival [[Harley]], attempted to ruin her performance: Harley loaned James and Meowth his {{p|Ariados}} to sabotage May's appeal and kick her out of the Contest, so she would not get the last ribbon she needed to get into the Grand Festival; however, surprisingly, their plan backfired when Combusken's Fire Spin started enveloping Ariados' web, going upwards in a spiral manner, not only setting Combusken free from it, but also surprising all three judges in the process. May managed to advance to the battle rounds (narrowly, though), and went on to defeat Jessie, who this time had borrowed Harley's {{p|Banette}}, in the final round.

For the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Combusken was used for one of the appeal rounds and two of the battle rounds. Its appeal performance during ''[[May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', just like the one in the Mulberry Contest, involved a frisbee, and easily led her to the next round. Combusken was then used for May's battle against Drew, which started in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' and ended in the following episode, ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. It battled against Drew's Flygon and {{p|Absol}}, alongside [[May's Squirtle|Squirtle]]; however, the fierce battle left only Combusken and Absol on stage after the first half of the five minutes. Just when Absol started to get the advantage, Combusken learned {{m|Overheat}} and gave its very best until the end of the match; by an extremely narrow difference, May and Combusken were announced as the winners of the round, and May moved on to the semi-finals. Combusken then faced [[Solidad]]'s {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}}, battling along with [[May's Munchlax|Munchlax]]; they were defeated with relative ease, leaving May at the Top 4 of the Grand Festival.

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', during the break of a Pokémon Contest, Ash and co. were trying to stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon. In the midst of the ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into {{p|Blaziken}}, and used its {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying, upon which Ash remarked "would I love to battle you". Afterwards, May used Blaziken in the Battle Phase against [[Ash's Sceptile]]. Although it had a type advantage over Sceptile and its Blaze ability activated at the same time Sceptile's Overgrow did, the battle ended in a tie. Later, it left for Hoenn with the rest of May's Pokémon, along with May herself and Max.
[[File:Blaziken Blaze.png|thumb|right|With {{a|Blaze}} activated]]
Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. It was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] tag battles, in which it battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]]. When it was first called out, Ash seemed to be pleased at seeing it again, and Brock remarked that it had gotten stronger as well.

===Moves Improvised===
*'''Friction Uppercut''' as a Combusken it would use Sky Uppercut on the ground while charging toward an opponent and sparks from it would charge and make it more powerful. The most noticeable appearance was in the battle with May verses Drew in [[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]
*'''Water and Fire Whirlwind''' Combusken uses Fire Spin and Squirle uses Bubble and the two moves fuse together and blue sparks appear were the Bubbles touch the Fire Spin and traps the target inside it. This is based off of the Battle Dome's Frontier Brain, Tucker's Fusion of Fire and Water which appeared in [[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]

==Trivia==
* May's Blaziken is the only Hoenn starter belonging to a main character that did not fall in love.
* Both [[AG082|its first battle]] as a Combusken and [[AG191|its first official battle]] as a Blaziken resulted in a tie. Coincidentally, in both instances it fought against a fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Combusken evolved into Blaziken [[AG191|exactly 100 episodes]] after its [[AG091|first Contest victory]] (in [[Lilycove City]]).
* Like [[Ash's Sceptile]], Blaziken was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in its second stage followed by [[Bill Rogers]] after the [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|voice switch]], and Bill Rogers in its final form.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The magnificent cup shines and glimmers in the middle of the arena, giving our hero, {{an|May}}, great confidence required to conquer her awaiting foes just around the corner. Through May's prior strategic efforts, we are thrown into the next part of the exuberant [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

As a brilliant array of bubbles from {{TP|May|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble}} [[Move|attack]] shimmers throughout the stadium, {{TP|May|Combusken}} glides through with {{m|Sky Uppercut}} towards {{P|Absol}} but is met with a {{m|Razor Wind}} from Absol. One twentieth of May's score is deducted as Squirtle and Combusken struggle to recover. {{p|Flygon}} continues the attack with a ferocious {{m|Flamethrower}} closing in on Combusken and Squirtle at a high rate. Combusken counterattacks with his own {{m|Fire Spin}} with the two attacks fusing and exploding throwing both Pokémon back and deducting one-twentieth from both contestants scores. [[Drew]] doesn't hesitate to continue the attack as Absol launches another Razor Wind and Flygon releases its {{m|DragonBreath}} on Absol's attack. Both Combusken and Squirtle attempt to evade but manage to take direct damage from the attack and are thrust towards the ground. One-tenth of May's score is removed in the effort. Flygon and Absol explode forward with a {{m|Steel Wing}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} attacks. As the two opponents close in, May evaluates the situation and directs Combusken and Squirtle to launch their Fire Spin and Bubble attacks. The two attacks fuse creating an electrical effect colliding and making for a direct hit with Flygon and Absol enveloping them in shards of electricity and heat. Only five percent of Drew's score is reduced. {{Ash}} recalls [[AG153|his prior battle]] with {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}'s strategic effort using {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Swampert}}'s attacks to create the same effect. Both Flygon and Absol are thrown backwards removing ten percent of Drew's score. Meanwhile, Drew displays his anger with May out loud as a group of children stand in amazement.

The {{pkmn|battle}} timer slides to just below four minutes while Drew and May continue the attack. Squirtle {{m|withdraw}}s into its shell and uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Absol uses {{m|Flash}}, blinding Combusken but having no effect on Squirtle. Flygon attempts to use its Steel Wing attack to divert Squirtle but only manages to knock him above the arena. With Flygon's back turned, Squirtle launches a devastating array of bubbles towards Flygon. Absol responds to divert the attack with Razor Wind but Combusken blocks Absol's attack with his Fire Spin. The Bubble attack makes direct contact with Flygon removing another ten percent of Drew's score. Upon Squirtle's decent, he strikes down with a finishing {{m|Ice Beam}} just inches away from Flygon, [[fainting|knocking it out]]. As Squirtle begins its final descent, Absol takes advantage of the time and uses its Iron Tail to harshly knock Squirtle into a stadium wall, rendering Squirtle unable to battle. Both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s return their unconscious Pokémon. The battle now resides between May's Combusken and Drew's Absol. Combusken uses {{m|Mega Kick}} and Absol uses Iron Tail. Both attacks hit one another. As Combusken manages to recover, Absol manages to strike with an additional Razor Wind hitting Combusken for a direct hit before he is able to recover from the prior attack removing twenty percent of May's score. Combusken launches another ferocious Fire Spin but Absol manages to gain the type advantage with a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack. The gigantic wall of water crashes onto Combusken removing another twenty percent of her score leaving her with only forty percent of her original score. As the water dissipates, Combusken's body begins glowing red as steam begins forming around his body. Drew doesn't hesitate to attempt to gain the battle advantage directing Absol to launch another Razor Wind towards Combusken. As the attack beings its descent, Combusken uses {{m|Overheat}}, launching a extraordinary amount of fire power dissipating Absol's attack and hitting for direct damage. Absol's entire body is engulfed in flames. The battle timer moves to just under 1:30. Both trainers attempt to guess the other's strategy but May makes the first move directing Combusken with Overheat. Another devastating ball of energy is launched towards Absol but Absol counterattacks with its Water Pulse attack dissipating the flame attack. Another fifth of May's score is removed reducing her score to only twenty percent of her original. Absol glides forward attempting to blind Combusken as he rotates forward striking Absol but managing to make no damage. Combusken uses the advantage of the close range launching another devastating Overheat attack engulfing Absol in the magnificent flames. After the continuous Overheat attacks, Combusken begins showing fatigue. Absol disperses the flames from the previous Overheat attack. Drew notices Combusken's fatigue from the continual Overheat attacks and takes advantage with Absol striking forward with a Razor Wind hitting Combusken for direct damage. Combusken is thrown backwards reducing May's score to only five percent of her original. Absol strikes forward with another Water Pulse attack as Combusken manages to use other Overheat attack with much weaker force proving no effect on the Water-type attack. The water engulfs Combusken, causing steam to rise from Combusken's body. Absol launches forward with a last Iron Tail propelling into the air. Combusken attempts to take advantage of the airborne attack and uses Sky Uppercut. The attack manages to make contact just as the battle timer expires. May is announced as the winner of the round between herself and Drew advancing her to the semifinals.

The contest music begins playing majestically in the background while Combusken begins his battle stance moving up and down in excitement. Drew thanks Absol for his effort and turns around approving May of her effort with a simple eye gesture. May grasps onto Combusken's body thanking him greatly. In the confusion, {{an|Aipom}} manages to snatch [[Ash's hat]] once more and begins escaping outside of the arena. After running a few seconds, Aipom rotates around and throws Ash's hat back to him. {{Ash}}, confused, stands as Aipom jumps up and down in its battle stance. Ash begins his second attempt to try to {{pkmn2|caught|capture}} Aipom as {{AP|Pikachu}} blazes forward with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Aipom evades the attack and uses {{m|Swift}} making direct damage. Pikachu recovers and counterattacks with his Iron Tail but Aipom manages to recover from the attack and counterattacks with {{m|Focus Punch}} striking Pikachu towards the ground.

Aipom continues jumping up and down in excitement. Ash finally decides to attack long-range with Pikachu's devastating {{m|Thunderbolt}} enveloping Aipom's body with electricity. As Aipom manages to recover from the attack, Ash launches a [[Poké Ball]] which opens and captures Aipom's energy within. The two forces collide with the Poké Ball's brilliant red light shining off and on and off and on. After a few moments, the red light finally disappears confirming {{AP|Aipom}}'s capture. As Ash goes to collect his newly captured {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, an audience of people around him begins applauding.

[[Scott]] arrives obtaining Ash's attention. Above our two rivals, [[Solidad]] is featured on the screen above and is finally announced as the winner with her {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Lapras}}. We are taken deep into the semifinal round between Solidad and May leaving Solidad with ninety percent of her original score and May with only twenty percent as the battle timer moves to just below two minutes. Solidad has chosen her {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}} as May has chosen {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and Combusken. Munchlax launches forward with a {{m|Focus Punch}} while Slowbro uses its {{m|Psychic}} to rotate around and counterattacks, dissipating Munchlax's attack and knocking him backwards. Combusken's devastating Fire Spin envelops Pidgeot but after a few seconds, Pidgeot manages to recover and counterattacks with {{m|FeatherDance}}. The extraordinary feathers dissipate the flame attack and being raining down on Combusken and Munchlax with a flame effect. Slowbro uses {{m|Yawn}} creating a gigantic bubble which manages to collide with Combusken causing him to fall into a deep sleep. Munchlax collects energy for his {{m|SolarBeam}} attack but is only evaded by his opponents and met with Slowbro's Psychic and Pidgeot using {{m|Double Team}} to create illusionary copies of himself and striking for direct damage. Slowbro launches a finishing {{m|Hyper Beam}} as Pidgeot blasts forward with an {{m|Aerial Ace}} making contact with both targets knocking both opponents unconscious, advancing Solidad to the next round. May shows her support for Solidad and greatly thanks Munchlax and Combusken for their effort and making it to the top four. May walks away in a saddened state while our heroes Ash and Brock attempt to comfort her. Solidad is presented with the magnificent cup as our contestants applaud for her victory.

Later that night, an after-party is held for all the participating contestants. Drew begins to leave as May manages to catch up to him holding a solitary rose. She wishes him an exuberant parting as he walks off dispersing into the distance. May, as confident as ever, is now ready to head towards the artful {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. [[Max]] reviews his [[PokéNav]] as our heroes prepare for travel to the devious Battle Pyramid. They finally advance into the final stretch of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} with the Flames of Courage brighter than ever.

'''Dawn's Quilava''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマグマラシ''' ''Hikari's Magmarashi'') is the seventh {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{an|Dawn}}.

==History==
[[File:Dawn Cyndaquil.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Cyndaquil]]
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Dawn battled {{an|Lyra}} in the Johto Festival and defeated her. As a prize, Dawn was given an {{pkmn|egg}}, which was soon abducted by [[Team Rocket]]. While it was in Team Rocket's possession, it showed signs of hatching. When Dawn finally got it back, it hatched right in front of her eyes, revealing it to be a Cyndaquil.

It has a tendency to flare up its back when it's happy or when it's showing affection, which Dawn usually ends up getting caught in in the process.

[[Dawn's Piplup]] appears to be jealous over the attention that it gets, though this may be attributed to the fact that Cyndaquil wasn't very responsive to Piplup at first. Piplup often attacks it and it in turn fights back, causing frequent squabbles between the two. They seem to be trying to compete for superiority over the other. These fights have stopped in subsequent episodes.

In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', it battled {{AP|Ash's Grotle|Torterra}} and proved to be a strong opponent even though it had just hatched.

In'' [[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', it showed its interest in Contests after watching Dawn practice with her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} by trying to mimic it with the flames on its back.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', it was used in Dawn's and Ash's tag battle against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. It was able to defeat Chikorita with a Flame Wheel combined with {{AP|Ash's Monferno|Infernape}}'s Flamethrower.

[[File:Flame Ice combo.png|thumb|250px|right|Cyndaquil using its {{m|Flame Wheel}} and Mamoswine using {{m|Ice Shard}} making a Flame-Ice Cuboid]]
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was used in a double battle together with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. After using the "Flame Ice" combo, it failed to execute it all of the way and [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Leafeon}} defeated it, along with Mamoswine with a {{m|Magical Leaf}} combined with {{p|Kirlia}}'s {{m|Psychic}}.
[[File:Dawn Cyndaquil affection.png|thumb|left|As a Cyndaquil showing affection|250px]]
Quilava, as a Cyndaquil, along with Mamoswine, were used in the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest Double Battle Round along with {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]''. Both of them managed to defeat [[Ursula]]'s {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} in the finals earning Dawn her fifth and final ribbon.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', it was used in the Appeal Round of the Sinnoh Grand Festival. Together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, they made an excellent combination that put Dawn through to the next round. Later in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' it battled [[Jessie]] in the semi-finals along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and got Dawn to the finals.

In [[SS024]], it was used in a battle against [[Johanna]]'s {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, but when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination; the battle was stopped due to them fighting. Cyndaquil then helped Dawn rescue a {{p|Piplup}} and a {{p|Chimchar}} that had escaped from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab from a group of {{p|Ariados}}. It became injured when it took a {{m|Poison Sting}} meant for Shinko. It was able to overcome its injury by [[evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Quilava}}. It was able to defeat the leader of the group, a {{Shiny}} Ariados, with its newly learned move, {{m|Eruption}}.

===Moves improvised===
* '''Flame-thrower Wheel''' Used in the tag battle with Khoury and Lyra and Ash and Dawn, It starts off with Cyndaquil running ahead and using Flame Wheel and while Cyndaquil somersaultes into the Flame Wheel, Ash's Monferno uses Flamethrower towards Cyndaquil causing more flames to gather and a speed boost towards the target.
* '''Flame Ice''' is a combination which was created by Mamoswine and Cyndaquil when they were training with Dawn in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]''. It involves Cyndaquil being trapped by Mamoswine's Ice Shard while it uses Flame Wheel.
* '''Flame Wheel-Swift''' is a combination Cyndaquil developed while training with Dawn in [[Twinleaf Town]]. Cyndaquil would perform it by firing a ring of {{m|Swift}} into the air, then jumping into the center and charging {{m|Flame Wheel}}, causing the two moves to mix.
* '''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination worked on by Dawn involving both Cyndaquil and Piplup. For the move, Piplup would surround Cyndaquil's Flame Wheel with a {{m|Whirlpool}}, which created the effect of a sphere of water with flames inside. Dawn attempted to use this during her second battle against [[Johanna|her mother]], however the combination failed throwing both Piplup and Cyndaquil to the ground.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cyndaquil egg.png|250px|Cyndaquil's {{pkmn|egg}}|thumb]]
* Of all Pokémon eggs owned by main characters, Quilava took the least amount of time to hatch, hatching in the same episode it was obtained in.
* Quilava is the eighth Pokémon to follow the pattern of premiering in a movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases, the premiered Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species. Dawn's Cyndaquil comes after ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. This is only a technical premiere, as Cyndaquil was featured during the original Johto series as well.
* Quilava is the only Pokémon belonging to a main character to evolve in a side story episode.

== Synopsis ==
The episode begins where the previous one left off, just after the start of {{Ash}}'s third battle against [[Pyramid King Brandon]]. [[Ash's Charizard]] has already lost a close battle to Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}}, and now Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Dusclops fires {{m|Shadow Punch}}, and Bulbasaur takes it. Bulbasaur's {{m|Razor Leaf}} hits home, and Dusclops uses {{m|Mean Look}}. Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}} misses and it takes another Shadow Punch, sending Bulbasaur flying. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Leech Seed}}, which wraps Dusclops and saps energy. Dusclops uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but Razor Leaf negates it. Ash orders {{m|SolarBeam}}, but Dusclops fires a {{m|Confuse Ray}}, disorienting Bulbasaur and causing SolarBeam to fire towards the roof, catching Team Rocket and sending them blasting off.

Bulbasaur takes another Will-O-Wisp, and tries to use Vine Whip, but the vines are out of its control and begin whipping Bulbasaur itself. Another Will-O-Wisp sends Bulbasaur flying, and Ash catches it. The vines attacks itself and Ash. Ash yells out to Bulbasaur, and Bulbasaur snaps out of its confusion. With Bulbasaur no longer confused, Ash orders Bulbasaur to try Solarbeam again. While Bulbasaur is charging the attack, Dusclops tries to defeat it by firing Will-O-Wisp, but this time Bulbasaur dodges and fires SolarBeam, knocking out Dusclops.

Brandon summons {{p|Ninjask}}, and Ash swaps for {{AP|Squirtle}}. Ninjask uses {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} repels the attack. Ninjask uses {{m|Sandstorm}} to send Squirtle flying before using {{m|Double Team}} to surround it. Squirtle fires {{m|Water Gun}} at all of them, revealing Ninjask. Ninjask dodges Water Gun and strikes with Aerial Ace. Ninjask uses Sandstorm, but Squirtle's {{m|Hydro Pump}} neutralises it. Ninjask then uses {{m|Sand-Attack}} to blind Squirtle. Ninjask uses another Aerial Ace, but Squirtle can't see in order to evade. Ash tells Squirtle to listen for it. Squirtle dodges and uses Hydro Pump, but the attack goes high. Ninjask executes another Aerial Ace, but the Hydro Pump attack comes down and clears Squirtle's eyes, allowing it to counter with {{m|Skull Bash}} and knock out Ninjask.

Brandon sends out {{p|Solrock}}. Squirtle uses Hydro Pump, but Solrock's {{m|Psywave}} pushes it back. {{m|Confusion}} stops Skull Bash and sends Squirtle back. Solrock fires {{m|Shadow Ball}} but Squirtle uses Hydro Pump against the wall to dodge. Squirtle attempts a Rapid Spin, but Solrock dodges. Squirtle crashes into the wall and takes Solrock's SolarBeam, an attack which takes out Squirtle.

Ash sends Bulbasaur back out. Solrock uses Psywave, but Bulbasaur dodges and fires Razor Leaf. Solrock uses Confusion to stop the attack, and sends the leaves back at Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur charges with Vine Whip, but Solrock uses Confusion again to sends Bulbasaur flying, but it bounces off the wall. Solrock fires Shadow Ball, but Bulbasaur dodges. It fires Leech Seed, hitting Solrock and begins sapping away its energy. Solrock fires another Psywave, hitting Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur fires SolarBeam, which Solrock matches with its own. Both attacks collide, and the force causes a double knockout.

Underneath, Team Rocket digs into the chamber where {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regirock}} and {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}} are kept. They use {{m|Lock-On}} to target Team Rocket, before firing dual {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks that send Team Rocket flying.

Ash sends {{AP|Pikachu}} out, and Brandon calls upon {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}}. Pikachu fires {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which Regice endures easily. Regice uses {{m|Blizzard}}, which Pikachu takes. Pikachu attacks with {{m|Iron Tail}}, with Regice countering with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Pikachu dodges, but the attack freezes one half of the field and negates the attack. Pikachu uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Regice negates it with another Ice Beam, which freezes the other half of the field. With the field covered in ice, Regice can move quicker, but Pikachu ends up slipping. Regice attempts to use {{m|Focus Punch}}, but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to [[Status ailment#Paralysis|paralyze]] Regice, and then strikes the Iceberg Pokémon with Iron Tail. Regice uses Ice Beam to freeze the stadium more, creating a tomb of ice pillars that trap Pikachu.

With Pikachu immobilized, Regice uses {{m|Rest}}. Pikachu uses Iron Tail to free itself. Pikachu races towards Regice, but it wakes up and fires Ice Beam, this time making a direct hit and freezing Pikachu in an ice pillar. Ash orders Thunderbolt, but Pikachu seems unable to. The referee begins to declare Pikachu [[fainting|unable to battle]], but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to shatter the ice and paralyze Regice again. Regice fires another Focus Punch to send Pikachu bouncing across the ice field. Ash manages to get Pikachu to use two Iron Tails in the row due to the ice. Regice uses Ice Beam to trap Pikachu in another icy tomb before using Rest again. Pikachu frees itself with Iron Tail and starts charging forward with {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Regice wakes up and uses Ice Beam to try to freeze it again, but Pikachu dodges and hits Regice before it can launch another attack, knocking it out. Ash wins the match.

Brandon gives Ash the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]], completing Ash's {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} quest. [[Scott]] hands Ash a plaque with all seven symbols on it, acknowledging his position in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Scott offers Ash a [[Frontier Brain]] position, but Ash declines, stating that he wants to travel more. Brandon and the pyramid takes off. Bulbasaur heads back to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Squirtle returns to the [[Squirtle Squad]], and Charizard returns to the [[Charicific Valley]].

'''Misty Meets Her Match''' (Japanese: '''ユズジム！タイプバトル３ＶＳ３！！''' ''{{tt|Yuzu|Trovita}} Gym! Type Battle 3 VS 3!!'') is the 103rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 1, 1999 and in the United States on September 9, 2000.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
Getting a [[Transportation in the Pokémon world#Water|ferry]] from [[Trovitopolis]], {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, and {{Tracey}} are finally going to make it to [[Trovita Island]], which is surrounded by {{m|whirlpool}}s and huge spiked rocks. Ash is determined to get his third [[Orange League]] [[badge|Gym Badge]]. Suddenly, Pikachu spots a little girl and a {{p|Seel}} caught in the strong current, crying for help. Misty jumps into action by sending out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and then swims down to rescue the girl. Ash joins in by sending out {{AP|Lapras}} and helping Misty bring the girl up onto the surface. Meanwhile, a young man has been watching the whole thing, and is impressed by Misty's actions.

[[Team Rocket]] are not too far behind, and their submarine gets caught in one of the whirlpools.

While riding Lapras the rest of the way to Trovita Island, Ash and Misty ask the girl what she was doing out on the current. The girl, who introduces herself as [[Mahri]], says that she and her Seel were just playing when the current sucked them in. Misty then tells Mahri to always be careful next time she goes swimming. As Lapras and the ship both arrive in port, the young man, who later introduces himself as [[Rudy]], arrives to embrace Mahri, who is revealed to be his sister, and thank Misty for rescuing her by offering plenty of flowers. Rudy hands Togepi to Ash, and then dances with Misty. He compliments the young {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]] on her daring rescue of Mahri, and asks if she could train the other Pokémon trainers at his gym. Misty and Ash are both awestruck that Rudy is the Trovita Island Gym Leader. Ash wastes no time in challenging Rudy. After a war of words, Rudy tells Ash that if he wants to challenge him, he has to pass a small attack test.

The group head off to Rudy's speedboat, and Ash must knock down all the targets in order to challenge Rudy. Ash is successful with Pikachu on the first target, but Rudy is too preoccupied with looking at Misty instead of paying attention. Ash sends out {{AP|Charizard}}. Ash, Pikachu and Tracey manage to dodge a Flamethrower, but Misty isn't as lucky, and she gets blasted. Ash quickly returns Charizard, apologizes to Misty and continues.

Team Rocket show up again, meanwhile, Ash sees another target appear in front of them, and {{AP|Squirtle}} destroys it with a {{m|Water Gun}}, causing a tree to fall and send Team Rocket flying. Ash then has an easy time using Pikachu, Squirtle, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to destroy the remaining targets, and eventually passes the test. As night falls, Rudy schedules the gym {{pkmn|battle}} for tomorrow, and invites Misty to join him and Mahri for dinner, leaving Ash, Pikachu, and Tracey high and dry.

A few minutes later, Ash is talking to {{an|Professor Oak}} on the telephone, and Oak wishes Ash good luck in his match with Rudy tomorrow. Tracey then butts in and shows Oak his latest Pokémon sketches, while Ash and Pikachu sit down to eat a takeaway meal.

Meanwhile, Rudy, Mahri, and Misty finish an exquisite dinner and head down to the gym to see Rudy's Pokémon working out by dancing to music as a way of improving their skills. Rudy and Misty get out on the dance floor, shortly followed by Mahri and Togepi. Rudy asks Misty if she would stay with him and Mahri forever. Given food for thought by those words, Misty stops dancing to think about it, while Rudy tells her to make her decision after the match tomorrow.

The next morning, Ash and Rudy are both ready to battle each other on top of one of the island's huge spikes. The spectators, Misty, Togepi, Tracey, and Mahri included, watch from a hot-air balloon, and one of Rudy's friends does commentary while riding a {{p|Pidgeot}}. As the match begins, Ash sends out Pikachu, and Rudy sends out {{p|Electabuzz}}, since both are {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. Pikachu tries to take down Electabuzz with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} and a {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Electabuzz defeats Pikachu with a {{m|ThunderPunch}}, giving the first victory to Rudy.

Meanwhile, Mahri asks Misty what Rudy said to her last night. Misty uneasily answers that it was nothing important, but obviously, she's still thinking about the offer from Rudy.

For the next round, both trainers will use {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, so Ash sends out Bulbasaur, and Rudy sends out {{p|Exeggutor}}, and asks for some music. Exeggutor easily avoids Bulbasaur's {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack by dancing to avoid the leaves, then knocks Bulbasaur down with an {{m|Egg Bomb}}. As it looks like Exeggutor is about to deliver the finishing blow, Ash quickly orders Bulbasaur to use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which successfully puts Exeggutor to sleep, as well as cause it to fall off the cliff, knocking Team Rocket back down into the sea below. Bulbasaur rescues Exeggutor with its {{m|Vine Whip|vines}}, and the second victory goes to Ash.

Now, in the third and final round, Water Pokémon will be used, so Ash sends out Squirtle, and Rudy sends out {{p|Starmie}}, as well as dedicating the final victory to Misty. Squirtle and Starmie both attack each other with Water Guns, and Rudy quickly plays some more music, causing Starmie to {{m|Rapid Spin|spin}} so much, it uses a Thunderbolt attack to knock Squirtle into submission, leaving Ash horrified. After thinking over the chance of a lifetime from Rudy, Misty finally makes her choice: she yells at Ash to win since he can release Squirtle's hidden power. Mahri is shocked, while Rudy loses his confidence after hearing Misty's words. Ash orders Squirtle to fight back. Squirtle escapes the Thunderbolt with another Water Gun, {{m|Withdraw}}s inside its shell as it's about to fall off the cliff, then {{m|Hydro Pump|releases huge jets of water from its shell}} to fly back onto the battlefield. Misty realizes that Squirtle has now learned Hydro Pump! Squirtle uses its new attack and a {{m|Skull Bash}} to defeat Starmie, giving the final victory to Ash, who celebrates by dancing with Squirtle and Pikachu about how they need one more badge to get into the [[Orange League]].

As the sun sets, Ash receives his {{Badge|Spike Shell}} from Rudy, who also offers Misty one more bunch of flowers. Rudy is now convinced that [[PokéShipping|Misty wants Ash]], who doesn't seem to have a clue about it. And so, Ash, Misty, Tracey, Pikachu, and Togepi board Lapras and sail off into the sunset.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Tracey drawing Elekid.png|right|thumb|Tracey's sketch of Elekid]]
* The mystery Pokémon in Tracey's sketch that he was showing to Prof. Oak is {{p|Elekid}}. Tracey asks if it could be a new Pokémon and Prof. Oak laughingly disagrees. The short ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', featuring the anime debut of Elekid, aired weeks later in Japan, but had aired three months before in the United States. Rudy uses an {{p|Electabuzz}} during his battle against Ash (however, it was hinted in the previous episode's Oak lecture that Oak might have known about its existence, since he referred to it in the lecture about ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'').
* The song used by Rudy to train his Pokémon is [[Pokémon (Dance Mix)]] (English dub only). The same song is also played at the background of Starmie and Squirtle's battle.
*[[Professor Oak's lecture]]: ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. Oak talks a little about the movie. He introduces [[Lawrence III]], and then talks about the tablet (the one containing the legend). However he says he cannot read the tablet, and he then tells viewers to watch the movie.
*The book ''[[The Four Star Challenge]]'' is based on this episode.

=== Errors ===
* When Ash is speaking to Mahri on Lapras after rescuing her, the lower jaw of {{AP|Lapras}} is blue instead of cream.
* When Tracey yells at Ash for choosing {{AP|Charizard}}, Tracey is tanner than usual.
* Rudy says that Ash must knock down ''all'' the targets during the attack test in order to battle him, but even though Charizard fails to hit a target, Ash still passes the test.
:*This may have been because Rudy was paying more attention to Misty than to Ash's test.
* When Rudy's {{p|Starmie}} is knocked out, the point that droops down to symbolize its loss of power is colored gold like its middle part rather than purple.
* After Meowth sneezes and knocks Team Rocket's submarine into the water, they start spinning around and Jessie's boot isn't colored in.
* When Squirtle used Hydro Pump on Starmie its stomach is mis-colored sky blue.

=== Dub edits ===
* ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills!]]'', ''[[EP106|Pokémon Water War]]'', and ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight]]'' were all aired before this episode in the U.S. This caused mass confusion to many American fans. The main one being is to why in the episode before, ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', the group was so close to arriving to Trovita Island and then, all of a sudden, Ash has his badge and is heading off somewhere else without the episode in which he fought the Trovita Island Gym Leader. However once the saga came out on {{wp|DVD}}, they were put in the correct order.

'''Zoey's Glameow''' (Japanese: '''ノゾミのニャルマー''' ''Nozomi's Nyarmar'') was [[Zoey]]'s first [[Pokémon]] seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also her main Pokémon, similar to the way {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} is to [[Drew]].

==History==
[[File:Zoey glameow young.png|Glameow first meeting Zoey|thumb|250px|left]]
Glameow was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'' when it approached {{an|Dawn}} with her missing choker around its tail. It wasn't until the [[DP012|next episode]], however, that it showed just how strong it really was. During the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest, it managed to take out {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Dawn's Buneary]], and [[Jessie]]'s borrowed {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, earning Zoey the {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Ribbon]]. Later on it was revealed that it defeated [[Kenny's Empoleon|Kenny's Prinplup]] as well.

It appeared again in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]'' where it battled a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{AP|Buizel}}, Zoey was attempting to catch. However after an impressive battle it was knocked out by Buizel's {{m|Aqua Jet}}. In ''[[DP041|The Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' along with {{TP|Zoey|Misdreavus}} it found {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} so they could help Zoey. Later, along with {{TP|Zoey|Shellos|Gastrodon}} it showed Dawn a Double Performance using its {{m|Shock Wave}} with Shellos's {{m|Mud Bomb}} to create a dazzling performance. Then [[Jessie|Jessilina]] appears and uses her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} in a double battle with Glameow and Shellos. Jessilina had some good combinations but was no match for Zoey and was defeated.

Zoey uses Glameow in the [[Hearthome City]] Contest were along with Shellos is used in the first round creating an astonishing performance. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch!]]'', Glameow is used in a battle against Dawn's Buizel to gain its experience in contests.

Zoey used it again to battle [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', but it was defeated by a combination of {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Psywave}}.

Zoey used Glameow in the [[Wallace Cup]]'s semifinal round against {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition.

It also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where it was revealed how it was caught by Zoey. She found {{p|Glameow}} abandoned in a box in an alley one cold day. Her parents wouldn't let her keep it, saying she was too young to be a Pokémon Trainer. They told her to take it to a [[Pokémon Center]], but she decided to hide it in a shed and take care of it in secret as well. Zoey and [[Candice]] both raised Glameow together until Zoey became a Trainer, at which point Glameow joined Zoey on her journey as her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' it helped Zoey to the Semi-finals alongside her {{p|Gastrodon}}, and in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was a key Pokémon in Zoey's victory in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] final against {{an|Dawn}} and alongside {{p|Gallade}}.

[[File:Signal Tail.png|Signal-Tail combination from ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''|thumb|right|250px]]

===Moves improvised===
*'''Mud Bomb-Shock Wave combination''' Zoey had her {{TP|Zoey|Shellos|Gastrodon}} fire a {{m|Mud Bomb}} into the air, which Glameow used {{m|Shock Wave}} on, dotting up Shellos's attack.
*'''Shadow Claw-Blizzard combination''' Zoey had her Glameow use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, and then Shellos would use {{m|Blizzard}} on the Shadow Claw,making it look like the blizzard is coming out of Glameow's paw, making it a much more powerful and beautiful attack.
*'''Signal-Tail''' was a move used by Zoey during her battle against {{an|Dawn}} in the [[DP177|final]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. For the move, Zoey's {{p|Gallade}} would fire a {{m|Signal Beam}} at Glameow while it was using {{m|Iron Tail}}. By twirling its tail around, Glameow could capture the Signal Beam and create a spiral effect, which it would then fire at the opponent.
*'''Electrified-Psycho Cut''' was the final attack against Dawn, it starts off with {{p|Gallade}} doing a flip while using {{m|Psycho Cut}},then Glameow puts its tail up and Gallade jumps onto Glameow's tail. Glameow uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Gallade. His blades are now charged with electricity and they start to glow yellow, and he fires his Electrified Psycho-Cut toward Dawn's Sky Attack-Peck Combination, ending her battle with Dawn and thus giving Zoey the win.
*'''Shadow Claw Bluff''' it first appeared in [[DP012|Arrival of A Rival]] with the battle with Zoey vs Ash at the Jubilife Contest, Zoey instructs Glameow to used Shadow Claw to counter Aipom's Focus Punch but, it's real objective was to use Iron Tail from above. Later in that episode it was used in the battle with Dawn to grab Buneary's Ice Beam and use it to her advantage. It appeared once again in the Wallace Cup episode [[DP079| Strategy With a Smile]] when Zoey and May battled, once Beautifly dodged the Shadow Claw hit the water and created a curtian of water, its real objective was to block Beautifly and hit with a Shock Wave. It's last known appearance was in a [[DP177|Grand Fight for Winning]] when Glameow used it once again to confuse Dawn into a trap when the flash of Gallade and Piplup's attacks collided, Glameow sprung it's tail to jump onto Togekiss' back.

'''Second Time's the Charm!''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー！以心伝心バトル!! ''' ''Battle Tower! Telepathy Battle!!'') is the 170th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 444th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on March 30, 2006 and in the United States on November 27, 2006.


{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The episode starts in the [[Pokémon Center]] the next day after {{Ash}}'s defeat at the hands of {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}. Ash decides that he wants to challenge Anabel again, this time without using just brute strength and power. Ash's training regime consists of him running along a dirt path with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, trying to build a friendship with them.

At a nearby tree, the Pokémon send out their individual attacks -- {{AP|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{AP|Tauros}} uses {{m|Take Down}}, and {{AP|Corphish}} uses {{m|Crabhammer}}. Unfortunately for Ash, he had forgotten about the nest of {{p|Beedrill}} in those trees. The swarm began to chase Ash, Corphish, Pikachu, and Tauros when Ash finally ran into Anabel. He asked if she could calm them down, but Anabel claims that she is unable to do so when they attack in a swarm like that.

When Tauros gets its behind picked at by the Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack, he is forced to build more speed, and he slams right into Anabel and Ash, sending them and Ash's Pokémon off into a lake. Fortunately, they were able to get out and proceeded to laugh at each other.

Ash decided to clean up Tauros before any kind of battle and Anabel offered to help. During the course, Anabel, Ash, and Corphish began to play around in the river.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] has dug a tunnel underneath the gang, trying to get at Pikachu. Unfortunately for them, {{TP|May|Munchlax}} was right above them, causing the ground to collapse on top of them. However, they were quickly back on their feet and threw away their plans to capture Pikachu when they saw the food. After being caught stealing their food and accused of being there for Pikachu, they realized that Munchlax had run off with the food. In a rage, they got out their new mecha -- a giant {{p|Wobbuffet}}.

{{an|May}} sent out her {{TP|May|Eevee|Glaceon}} to use {{m|Tackle}} on the mecha. Team Rocket, thinking it wouldn't do a thing, laughed at their attempts. However, {{MTR}} saw that Eevee's head had poked a hole in the mecha, which was made out of old tires. Team Rocket, again, went blasting off.

After Team Rocket had gone, May let out her {{TP|May|Combusken|Blaziken}}, saying that they should all try to give commands to their Pokémon through telepathy. Ash agrees and gets down to Corphish's level, telling Corphish to use {{m|Harden}} with his mind. May, on the other hand, began to tell Combusken to use {{m|Peck}}. Corphish seemed to get nervous and frustrated, as did Combusken. FInally, both Ash and May gave up. Ash asked Anabel how she was able to communicate that way, to which Anbel replied that she didn't quite know how herself. She said that she was always able to use telepathy to talk to Pokémon, grass, flowers, and trees.

Anabel told Ash to try and sense what was in her heart; however, Ash was unable to. Anabel reassured him that it really didn't matter.

Later that day, Ash was ready and raring to battle Anabel the second time. The match started off with {{p|Alakazam}} and Corphish. The fight began when Corphish used Crabhammer. Anabel fought using her mind right from the start, commanding Alakazam to use {{m|Focus Punch}}. The attacks collided, and neither Pokémon were injured. Ash countered with a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, to which Alakazam used {{m|Psybeam}}. The attacks causing a miniature explosion. Ash wasn't detered and made Corphish use {{m|ViceGrip}}; however, Anabel made Alakazam use {{m|Psychic}} to throw Corphish backwards.
Corphish, despite being in mid-air was able to use BubbleBeam, which successfully made contact with Alakazam. Anabel wasn't fazed and told Alakazam to use {{m|Recover}}. Without giving an inch, Ash told Corphish to use Crabhammer, which Anabel counter-attacked with Focus Punch. However, Corphish dodged the Focus Punch and slammed its Crabhammer attack into Alakazam's jaw.
Alakazam used Psybeam again, confusing Corphish. Luckily for Ash, Corphish was still able to use Crabhammer and use it well. Immediately, Ash returned Corphish, snapping it out of confusion, and threw Corphish right back into battle, where it instantly used BubbleBeam and knocked out Alakazam. Anabel's next Pokémon was her {{p|Metagross}}. Corphish used BubbleBeam, but Metagross evaded the attack and slammed into Corphish with a {{m|Meteor Mash}}, knocking Corphish out.

Despite the type-disadvantage, Ash sent out his Tauros. Tauros' first attack was Take Down, to which Metagross countered with {{m|Iron Defense}}. Ash then told Tauros to use {{m|Horn Attack}} and Anabel told Metagross to use Meteor Mash. Tauros was able to dodge Meteor Mash and slam his horn into Metagross' underside, sending it flying. However, Metagross used {{m|Hyper Beam}}, to which Ash countered with {{m|Double Team}}. Anabel told Metagross to just attack them all and Metagross ended up hitting the real Tauros. Tauros didn't take too much damage and ran at Metagross with Horn Attack. Metagross had to just take the attack, being unable to move after Hyper Beam. Finally, Metagross was able to use Meteor Mash, which Tauros used Take Down against. The attacks collided, knocking out both Pokémon.

Anabel's final Pokémon was {{p|Espeon}}, and Ash's was Pikachu. May checks Espeon on her [[Pokédex]]. Pikachu started off by using {{m|Quick Attack}}, to which Espeon dodged and also used Quick Attack. Pikachu was unable to dodge this, getting hit spot-on. Pikachu countered with Iron Tail and Espeon intercepted with an Iron Tail of its own. Pikachu took on damage, but was able to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, Espeon's {{m|Zap Cannon}} was too much for the Thunderbolt to take. The following explosion sent Pikachu flying. However, Ash was determined and made Pikachu use Thunderbolt once again. Espeon jumped out of the way of the attack and used Psychic to slam Pikachu into the ceiling. Pikachu recovered quickly and used Quick Attack. Espeon repeated its last attack and sent Pikachu into the ceiling. This time, however, Pikachu was able to compose itself and bounce off the ceiling and onto one of the lights. The proceeding Thunderbolt knocked out the power, making the whole floor go pitch black. Once again, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, landing its first hit on Espeon. Espeon used Zap Cannon, forcing the electricity back. Pikachu dodged the attack and jumped from light to light, avoiding all the Zap Cannons thrown at it.

Espeon was unable to relax, making all mental communication null and void. Again, Espeon was hit with a Thunderbolt. When the lights came back on, Espeon was hit again with Iron Tail. Without wasting any time, Pikachu used {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Espeon tried to counter attack with Zap Cannon, but it simply flew off Pikachu. Espeon was hit with Volt Tackle and was ultimately defeated, making Ash the victor and earning him the Ability Symbol.

Ash's next destination, the Battle Pyramind, was right near [[Pewter City]]. After shaking Anabel's hand, Ash and friends made their way to the Battle Pyramid for Ash's final symbol. Anabel blushed, holding onto the hand Ash had shaken.

*The English title is based off the phrase, ''Third time's the Charm!''
* During the battle against Anabel, Ash recalls his {{AP|Corphish}} to rid it of its {{status|confusion}} and then immediately sends it back out, something which [[Anime physics|isn't possible in the games]].

=== Errors ===
* Ash tells Team Rocket to get their hands off Pikachu, even though Pikachu is right beside him and Team Rocket is stealing Ash's friends' food.
* For a split second Tauros black out-line around its eyes were thicker and darker than normal.
* When May takes out her Pokédex the camera zooms in on Espeon and half of Anabel's arm is missing.
* When Anabel called out Espeon you can hear it Japanese name Eifie, also through-out the battle too.

'''Ash's Buizel''' (Japanese: '''サトシのブイゼル''' ''Satoshi's Buoysel'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} captured by {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]'', and was traded to [[Ash Ketchum]] for his Aipom after Buizel showed a love for battling and Aipom a love for contests in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]''.

==History==
[[File:Ash Buizel DP034.png|left|thumb|200px|Buizel in its debut]]
===With Dawn===
Buizel has a vastly different type of personality than Dawn's other Pokémon. He purposely looks for {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Pokémon and loves to show off his amazing strength. He first took out [[Dawn's Piplup]], then [[Zoey's Glameow]], and finally [[Ash's Pikachu]] by using his incredible speed and moves like {{m|Aqua Jet}}. He showed bitterness towards humans, but gained respect for Dawn after she saved him from a nasty fall. Afterwards, Buizel found her worthy enough for a second battle, where she was able to capture him.
Since then, though, he still gets along poorly with most other Pokémon. In particular, he seems to have a rivalry developing with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, [[Brock's Croagunk]]. However, they may have started to get along with each other as they are with each other in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' while the others play.

===With Ash===
[[File:Buizel Ele-Seal.png|200px|thumb|right|Buizel in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Dawn began the Contest training for the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}; however, Buizel seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set his mind on Dawn's training. Meanwhile, [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]] appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because she tended to be more interested in Dawn's Contest training. Then [[Zoey]] proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the trainers agreed, and the trade took place.

In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', during a battle between Ash and Dawn, Buizel's {{m|SonicBoom}} was deflected by Aipom, hitting a stone tower and freeing a {{p|Spiritomb}}.

In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', he fought [[Maylene's Lucario]] in a Gym Battle, resulting in a Double KO and a tied match. During the battle, Buizel learned {{m|Water Pulse}}. Buizel's version is unique, as Buizel's Water Pulse retains its spherical shape, which is presumably inspired by the {{m|Aura Sphere}} of Maylene's Lucario. Buizel also revealed his ability, {{a|Swift Swim}} for the first time, which became critcal to Ash's performance.

In a ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Buizel participated in his first contest-style competition as Ash's entry for the Wallace Cup. Buizel succeeded in the appeal rounds due to a dazzling combination of {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|SonicBoom}}, and the utilization of his inflatable tube around its neck, but lost in the second round of battles to a {{p|Lanturn}}, after defeating a {{p|Kecleon}} in the first battle round. He perfected an {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Aqua Jet}} combination that Dawn had tried to teach him in [[DP041|an earlier episode]].
[[File:Ash and Buizel.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Buizel]]
In ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', Buizel was training for Ash's Gym battle and was accidentally shocked by {{AP|Pikachu}}. Buizel angrily jumped at Pikachu but was restrained by {{AP|Turtwig}}. Buizel continued to hold a grudge against Pikachu during the battle. Buizel defeated [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}} using his "Ice Aqua Jet" combination and stayed on to battle {{TP|Crasher Wake|Floatzel}}. Floatzel managed to use most of Buizel's attacks against him and eventually confused him with his own {{m|Water Pulse}}. Buizel was recalled and Pikachu was sent out. Buizel eventually shook off the confusion to see Pikachu valiantly fighting a losing battle against Floatzel. Floatzel eventually partially froze Pikachu's back and Buizel wanted to get back in the fight. As Pikachu and Buizel tagged out, they exchanged a high five and Buizel broke the ice on Pikachu's back with a Water Gun. Buizel went on to defeat Floatzel by using a Water Pulse at close range, defeating Floatzel and earning Ash his {{badge|Fen}}.

In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Buizel defeated [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}}, marking the debut of his own [[Counter Shield]] strategy, but lost to her {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was used in battle against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Steelix}}, but he could only use a Water Gun attack, which was easily countered by Steelix's {{m|Screech}}. The Iron Snake Pokémon, having Buizel unable to move due to the loud noise, trapped him with {{m|Bind}}, threw him into the air and finally defeated him with an {{m|Iron Tail}} straight on his head, slamming him to the ground. When the dust caused by the impact cleared, Buizel was still standing, but ultimately collapsed and was unable to battle. When Ash went to see if he was severely injured, he looked at him with a smile, then Ash thanked him and returned him to his [[Poké Ball]].
[[File:Buizel Swift Swim.png|thumb|250px|Buizel's ability activated]]
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Buizel was the first Pokémon used by Ash in his full battle against [[Paul]] (which was also the first time Buizel had battled Paul since being traded to Ash), however he was immediately recalled by Ash when Paul chose to start with his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. Buizel was later sent out against Paul's {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}, but despite the type advantage he struggled against the Blast Pokémon and was {{status|poison}}ed by its {{m|Smog}} before Paul recalled it. Paul then sent out his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and Buizel again found himself up against a stronger opponent. Nevertheless, Buizel put up a good fight and was able to use the [[Counter Shield]] technique developed for the Gym battle against [[Fantina]] to hurt Ursaring. When Buizel started to lose strength Ash wished to recall him; however, the Sea Weasel Pokémon requested to stay in the battle and Ash agreed. This proved to be a mistake, as Buizel was instantly knocked out by Ursaring's following {{m|Focus Blast}}.

In ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'', Buizel battled a {{p|Mr. Mime}} belonging to [[Clayton]] and lost, which eventually led to Buizel learning {{m|Ice Punch}}. In battle, Buizel's ability {{a|Swift Swim}} activated once again.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Ash used Buizel in a battle against {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}}'s {{p|Infernape}}, but lost easily.

In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', he trained late at night with Ash and formed a rivalry with [[Kenny's Empoleon]] after having his own {{m|SonicBoom}} attack hit back at him. The next morning Buizel battled Empoleon and lost, despite putting up a good fight.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Buizel was brought out to battle Paul's {{p|Gastrodon}}. Buizel was able to use Ice Aqua Jet and managed to finish off Paul's second Pokémon with {{m|Ice Punch}}, leaving Paul with four Pokémon while Ash still had all six of his. Buizel stayed in to fight [[Paul's Drapion]], and despite using his own Counter Shield, he was caught off guard by Drapion's power and flexibility, which led to him being Ash's first Pokémon to fall in his full battle with [[Paul]].

It is assumed that Ash left Buizel at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].

==Personality==
Earlier on, Buizel's personality was similar to {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}}'s; preferring to look cool than playing with the other Pokémon. Buizel also got into conflict quite easily, disputing with [[Brock's Croagunk]]. After being with Ash for a long while, Buizel seemed to mellow, yet it still show great determination in its battles and other hurdles, notably in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' when he attempts to learn {{m|Ice Punch}}. Despite becoming generally mellow, Buizel still got into conflicts with Pokémon it didn't know very quickly, such as [[Kenny's Empoleon]].

* '''Ice Aqua Jet''', also known as just "Ice Jet", is a combination of Buizel's {{m|Aqua Jet}} and another Pokémon's {{m|Ice Beam}}. It was first attempted in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit Down!]]'' by {{an|Dawn}}, but was later successfully used by {{Ash}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'' against [[Crasher Wake]]'s Quagsire. It was used again in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' and ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''.
*'''Under-water Pulse''' was only used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'' Buizel uses Water Pulse and when it attacks it's arms spin causing more water to gather and it explodes on contact. In this case with Floatzel causing it to hit the ceiling and do more damage.

* '''[[Counter Shield]]''' was used in ''[[DP102|Shield With a Twist!]]'', ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'' and ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. Buizel uses {{m|Water Gun}} while spinning, releasing water everywhere, disallowing movement for the opponent. It is a means of defending and attacking at the same time.

* '''Aqua Pulse''' was seen in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''; Buizel used a spinning {{m|Aqua Jet}} with {{m|Water Pulse}} resulting in a tie with [[Maylene's Lucario]].

==Trivia==
* Buizel is the seventh Pokémon to follow the pattern of premiering in a movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases, the premiered Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species. In some cases, this may be a result of the writers deciding a Pokémon works well with the group after they are shown together. Ash's Buizel comes after ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.
* Buizel is Ash's third Pokémon received in a trade.
* Buizel and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} are the first two Pokémon to be traded between main characters.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Buizel is that his eyes briefly turn the same color as his Water Gun. This is almost always seen when Buizel uses Water Gun up close.
* In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Buizel.

'''May's Blaziken''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのバシャーモ''' ''Haruka's Bursyamo'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} at the beginning of her travels in [[Hoenn]].

==History==
[[File:May Torchic.png|As a {{p|Torchic}}|thumb|left]]
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Blaziken was given to May by [[Professor Birch]] in [[Littleroot Town]] when it was still a {{p|Torchic}}. She chose it as her [[starter Pokémon]] because she thought {{p|Treecko}} was creepy and scary (though she later called them cute in ''[[AG007|Trees a Crowd]]''), while the starter {{p|Mudkip}} had attacked her earlier with a {{m|Water Gun}} to the face. However, she seemed to like Torchic's cute appearance and sweet nature. Early on in the journey, Torchic was very inexperienced and ditzy. It did not know how to {{pkmn|battle}}, and tended to wander around obliviously; it also tended to panic when in dangerous situations. On the group's first encounter with [[Jessie's Seviper]] (still wild at the time), the {{type2|Poison}} frightened Torchic by trying to eat it.

When May started to ignore Torchic in favor of her new {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, Torchic's personality began to change: it grew more determined to improve itself and recapture May's attention. Its competitive streak continued to grow as it lost most of its childishness and confusion; this culminated in its [[evolution]] into {{p|Combusken}} during ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]'', where it learned both {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Sky Uppercut}}. Combusken itself had a period of being highly aggressive, but this seems to have passed and its personality seems to have evened out more now that it apparently feels that it no longer has to overcompensate.

Combusken proved to be very useful for [[Pokémon Contest]]s. The first time it took part of one was in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' and ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove!]]'', when May used it in the [[Lilycove City]] Contest. Even though its Fire Spin caused problems during the appeal round, Combusken managed to get a score of 23.6, which helped May to reach the battle rounds. After defeating [[Jessie]] and [[James's Chimecho|Chimecho]], May had to battle [[Kelly]], a coordinator who she met prior to entering the Contest. Kelly and her {{p|Grumpig}} showed great talent and effort, but May and Combusken turned out as the winners, earning them the Lilycove Ribbon.

When May got enough ribbons, she participated on the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Combusken was used in her quarter-finals battle round against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} and [[Drew's Roselia|Roselia]], alongside [[May's Skitty|Skitty]], in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. Together, they managed to put up a great fight, but they were defeated, leaving May within the Top 8 coordinators of the Festival.

During [[Kanto]], Combusken had more appearances, due to the Pokémon Contests allowing coordinators to use different Pokémon for each round. In ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', Combusken was only used for the appeal round of the [[Saffron City]] Contest, where it used Fire Spin and Sky Uppercut on May's untied bandana to knot it back to her head. Later on, in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', it was used for the battle rounds of the [[Silver Town]] Pokémon contest. May and Combusken faced coordinator {{an|Jeremy}} and his {{p|Venusaur}} in the final match; after a really close battle, where the Grass-type used the strong move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, May and Combusken ended as the winners, earning them the ribbon.

In ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]'', it was used once again for the battle rounds, this time in the [[Chrysanthemum Island]] Convention. May and Combusken first faced Jessie and [[James's Mime Jr.|Mime Jr.]]: even though Mime Jr. used {{m|Mimic}} and the highly appealing {{m|Tickle}}, Combusken managed to win the match. On the final battle, May faced [[Brianna]] and her {{p|Vibrava}}; when Vibrava started to get the upper hand, Combusken learned {{m|Mega Kick}} and turned things around, defeating it in the end and granting May her third Kanto ribbon.
[[File:May Combusken.png|As a {{p|Combusken}}|thumb|left]]
Finally, in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', Combusken was used for the appeal round of the [[Mulberry City]] Pokémon Contest. Team Rocket, who banded together with May's rival [[Harley]], attempted to ruin her performance: Harley loaned James and Meowth his {{p|Ariados}} to sabotage May's appeal and kick her out of the Contest, so she would not get the last ribbon she needed to get into the Grand Festival; however, surprisingly, their plan backfired when Combusken's Fire Spin started enveloping Ariados' web, going upwards in a spiral manner, not only setting Combusken free from it, but also surprising all three judges in the process. May managed to advance to the battle rounds (narrowly, though), and went on to defeat Jessie, who this time had borrowed Harley's {{p|Banette}}, in the final round.

For the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Combusken was used for one of the appeal rounds and two of the battle rounds. Its appeal performance during ''[[May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', just like the one in the Mulberry Contest, involved a frisbee, and easily led her to the next round. Combusken was then used for May's battle against Drew, which started in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' and ended in the following episode, ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]''. It battled against Drew's Flygon and {{p|Absol}}, alongside [[May's Squirtle|Squirtle]]; however, the fierce battle left only Combusken and Absol on stage after the first half of the five minutes. Just when Absol started to get the advantage, Combusken learned {{m|Overheat}} and gave his very best until the end of the match; by an extremely narrow difference, May and Combusken were announced as the winners of the round, and May moved on to the semi-finals. Combusken then faced [[Solidad]]'s {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Slowbro}}, battling along with [[May's Munchlax|Munchlax]]; they were defeated with relative ease, leaving May at the Top 4 of the Grand Festival.

In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', during the break of a Pokémon Contest, Ash and co. were trying to stop [[Team Rocket]] from stealing {{AP|Pikachu}} and other Pokémon. In the midst of the ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into {{p|Blaziken}}, and used its {{m|Blaze Kick}} to send Team Rocket flying, upon which Ash remarked "would I love to battle you". Afterwards, May used Blaziken in the Battle Phase against [[Ash's Sceptile]]. Although it had a type advantage over Sceptile and its Blaze ability activated at the same time Sceptile's Overgrow did, the battle ended in a tie. Later, it left for Hoenn with the rest of May's Pokémon, along with May herself and Max.
[[File:Blaziken Blaze.png|thumb|right|With {{a|Blaze}} activated]]
Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. It was used in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] tag battles, in which it battled alongside [[Dawn's Piplup]]. When it was first called out, Ash seemed to be pleased at seeing it again, and Brock remarked that it had gotten stronger as well.

*'''Friction Uppercut''' as a Combusken it would use Sky Uppercut on the ground while charging toward an opponent and sparks from it would charge and make it more powerful. The most noticeable appearance was in the battle with May verses Drew in [[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]

==Trivia==
* May's Blaziken is the only Hoenn starter belonging to a main character that did not fall in love.
* Both [[AG082|its first battle]] as a Combusken and [[AG191|its first official battle]] as a Blaziken resulted in a tie. Coincidentally, in both instances it fought against a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Combusken evolved into Blaziken [[AG191|exactly 100 episodes]] after its [[AG091|first Contest victory]] (in [[Lilycove City]]).
* Like [[Ash's Sceptile]], Blaziken was voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in its second stage followed by [[Bill Rogers]] after the [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|voice switch]], and Bill Rogers in its final form.

'''Dawn's Togekiss''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのトゲキッス''' ''Hikari's Togekiss'') is the eighth Pokémon obtained by {{an|Dawn}}.
==History==
[[File:Dawn and Togekiss.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn and Togekiss]]
Togekiss originally belonged to [[Princess Salvia]], a [[doppelgänger]] of Dawn, who wished to compete in a [[Pokémon Contest]] to see what it was like. As the two had a near-identical appearance, they switched lives for a time, with Dawn secretly becoming Salvia, and Salvia, dressed as Dawn, using Togekiss in the [[Arrowroot Town]] contest. Doing very well for her first contest, Salvia managed to win the ribbon from the contest, but gave it to her opponent, [[Jessie|Jessilina]], instead, as Dawn already had the required ribbons for entry into the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]]. To allow it to continue competing in contests, Salvia gave Togekiss to Dawn.

In ''[[DP172|With the Easiest of Grace!]]'', Dawn began training Togekiss for the Grand Festival, during which she became fast friends with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Ash volunteered to used {{AP|Gible}} against Togekiss for a training match, and while the two were evenly-matched, Togekiss's motherly instincts came to the fore when she shielded Piplup from Gible's still unreliable {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Togekiss then talked with Gible, warning him to be more careful with his moves which made Gible regret his past carelessness.
[[File:Togekiss Motherly.png|thumb|right|250px|Togekiss being motherly]]
Dawn initially had difficulties battling with Togekiss, as she only would use graceful moves in battle. However Dawn soon realized that instead of Togekiss changing to suit Dawn, Dawn should instead change her strategy to suit Togekiss's strengths. This new strategy was later used to win against [[Jessie]] and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, who were looking for revenge on Dawn and Togekiss for their defeat in the contest. Togekiss continued her training in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' and ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'' alongside Dawn's other Pokémon.

Togekiss was used alongside Piplup in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against [[Zoey]]'s Glameow and Gallade in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Togekiss used her best moves, and managed to surprise Zoey that had never had the opportunity to know the potential of the Jubilee Pokémon. However, Togekiss was unable to hit Zoey's Pokémon directly, because of their elusiveness and speed, but still managed to bring down Zoey's points thanks to its grace, such as when dodging with elegance Gallade's {{m|Vacuum Wave}}. In the end, even after using a wonderful {{m|Sky Attack}}-{{m|Peck}} combination with the help of Piplup, the two Pokémon lost the final.

Togekiss reappeared in ''[[DP178|For The Love Of Meowth]]'', where she searched for [[Mamie]]'s Glameow and where it battled (and lost) against an over-powered {{MTR}} who had fallen in love with the same Glameow.

Togekiss's final appearance as of yet was in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' where she consoled {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} when he became heart-broken over {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Brock}} leaving.

===Moves improvised===
*'''Aura Whirlpool''' was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey. For the move, after Piplup launched a Whirlpool Togekiss would then fire an Aura Sphere inside, causing the Whirlpool to turn blue. Using this move, Piplup and Togekiss were able to successfully counter Glameow and Gallade's Signal-Tail combination
*'''Rocket Formation''' was also used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Dawn orders Togekiss to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results in a crimson aura surrounding both the Pokémon resembling a Rocket.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Salvia Togekiss.png|thumb|right|250px|Togekiss appearing larger in its debut.]]
* Togekiss was first revealed in the Japanese opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]''.
* Togekiss is the second Pokémon obtained by Dawn from another Trainer specifically for competition in Contests. The first was {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.
** Interestingly, both are female {{type2|Normal}} {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that are part of a [[Generation II]] evolutionary family. Both were also used by their [[original Trainer]]s in a Contest before becoming Dawn's Pokémon.
* Togekiss has a [[Size discrepancies in the Pokémon anime|size inconsistency]] in between its debut episode in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'' to ''[[DP172|With the Easiest of Grace!]]''.
* Togekiss is the first Pokémon obtained by a main character while in a third evolutionary stage.

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] [[Pokémon]]. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

==History==
[[Image:Dawn and Piplup2.png|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|200px|left]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn—as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when Dawn said that Ash's Gible did not have ill intent when it was practicing its Draco Meteor in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', when a Chimchar stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', or when it repeatedly missed out on eating a berry and starts a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, he was fairly weak at first. [[Jessie's Seviper]] easily defeated the starter Pokémon in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', as well as {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''. However, he was easily defeated by [[Dawn's Piloswine]] in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two [[ribbon]]s in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; he will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, and also often tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen for example in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Piplup helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face. Two episodes later in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was again the same.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', Piplup began the [[evolution]] process. However, it soon became clear that Piplup was unwilling to undergo the transformation to {{p|Prinplup}}. After an encounter with [[Team Rocket]], {{an|Dawn}} gave Piplup her full support and acquired an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent his evolution for as long as he wants.

[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn admiring Piplup in his new costume]]
In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with a Marill; however, a wild {{p|Elekid}} is competing for the Marill's affections. When the three Pokémon get separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid work together to save Marill. Once Marill was saved, she decided to go with Elekid, and left Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', he battled Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} together with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a [[double battle]]. Despite him and Pachirisu trying their best, they just weren't powerful enough to defeat Glameow and Umbreon, which resulted in a loss for Dawn.

Ever since [[Ash's Gible]] made its debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of Gible's {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a running gag. ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'' expanded on this event in which Piplup ran away from the {{ashfr|group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped Piplup learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', it implies that {{m|Draco Meteor}} can be used to differentiate Piplup from other {{p|Piplup}}.

Piplup was used in the appeal rounds of {{town|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, along with Buneary. They managed to get Dawn to the battle round.

In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' Piplup was used along with Togekiss in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against Zoey's Gallade and Glameow. Despite coming up with a new combination and trying their best they lost at the last second.

For {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn made Piplup a new costume to wear instead of the usual cheerleader outfit.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when it realized {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were leaving since it couldn't accept the fact. However Dawn and everyone else consoled it saying that they would always be friends to the end.

Its latest appearance was in [[SS024]] where it was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside Cyndaquil. But when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination; the battle was stopped due to them fighting.

*'''Spin''' was first used in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'' where Piplup, together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, battled an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He spun around and used {{m|BubbleBeam}}. In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he span while using {{m|Bide}}, absorbing a {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack and turning purple. A spinning variation of {{m|Peck}} was used in its contest appeal in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. It was used again in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' to dodge [[Zoey|Zoey's Gallade]]'s {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.
[[Image:SkyAttack Peck Combination.png|Rocket Formation from ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''|thumb|right|250px]]

*'''Sweet Kiss-Bubble Beam''' was used in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' First {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} uses {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, and then Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and the two moves combine making the hearts go inside the bubbles.

*'''Bubble Sphere''' was used in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was the first attack made by Dawn, it starts off with Piplup using {{m|BubbleBeam}} and it forms into a circle and then Togekiss uses Aura Sphere in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because Zoey destroyed it with her Glameow and Gallade in a matter of seconds.

*'''Aura Whirlpool''' was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey. For the move, after Piplup launched a {{m|Whirlpool}} Togekiss would then fire an {{m|Aura Sphere}} inside, causing the Whirlpool to turn blue. Using this move, Piplup and Togekiss were able to successfully counter {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and Gallade's Signal-Tail combination.

*'''Rocket Formation''' was also used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Dawn orders [[Dawn's Togekiss|her Togekiss]] to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results on a crimson aerial attack which resembles a Rocket, that Dawn uses to concludes her battle.

*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against [[Team Rocket]] in [[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]. It is a combination of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

*'''Bubble-Swift Combination''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]] it starts off with Piplup jumping on top of Cyndaquil and forming BubbleBeam into a circle then Cyndaquil uses Swift in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because [[Johanna]] destroyed it with her Glameow and Umbreon in a matter of seconds.

*'''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]]. For the combination, Piplup would cover a {{m|Flame Wheel}} created by Cyndaquil with a Whirlpool which created a sphere of water with fire inside. However, when Dawn attempted to use it during the her practice battle against [[Johanna]] the combination failed throwing both Pokémon to the ground.

==Trivia==
*For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''Potchama ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto'' "{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} jumps into the water with a splash."
*The opening sequence of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a star seal with Piplup's Poké Ball until ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', three seasons later.
*Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of his ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never directly expressed that he did not like being inside of the ball.
**Piplup was unwilling to obey Dawn when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends after Pikachu and Piplup saved their respective trainers from an attacking group of Pokémon; Pikachu saved Ash from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} while Piplup saved Dawn from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
***Also, he has expressed reluctance to evolve and chose to stay in his base form for the time being, and Dawn was given an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup from evolving.
*Piplup's gender was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.
*Piplup has battled his two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup will probably not evolve very soon, referring to his evolutions as "ugly" or not good for contests.
* Of all of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup was only completely absent from 17 of the 191 episodes.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

'''Dawn's Mamoswine''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマンムー''' ''Hikari's Mammoo'') was the fourth [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} by {{an|Dawn}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and her sixth Pokémon in all.

==History==
[[Image:DP084.png|As a {{p|Swinub}}|thumb|200px|left]]
Mamoswine's debut was in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' as a stray and hungry Swinub. It appeared at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion from a nearby forest and always came over for something to eat. It caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's [[Poffin]]s showing a liking to them, but caused much displeasure to Dawn's other {{DL|Dawn (anime)|Pokémon}}. However, after helping take down [[Team Rocket]] and rescue the other Pokémon, Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her. It had a very cheerful, happy personality and would often jump up and down in excitement.

While still a Swinub, it was not used very much due to its relative lack of battling and contest experience. In ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', Swinub watched its first {{pkmn|Contest}} when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. Swinub evolved into Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. After evolving Piloswine was initially still very affectionate towards Dawn, as seen in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' where it tackled her to the ground out of affection. This affection would be short lived, however.

Its personality drastically changed in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''. Just two episodes after evolving, Piloswine started to develop an indifference towards Dawn and became prone to disobedience. Knowing numerous powerful attacks, Piloswine felt much stronger and more confident than it did as a Swinub. It felt that it wasn't weak and was very powerful. On numerous occasions it tried to attack Dawn or her Pokémon. It attacked {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} for touching its fur presumptuously, and tried to attack Dawn with {{m|Ice Shard}}, instead freezing half the body of {{AP|Grotle}} who tried to stop it from rampaging. Dawn agreed to have a battle with her Piloswine and Grotle. However, it ignored Dawn's commands and used {{m|AncientPower}} instead.

It later evolved again into {{p|Mamoswine}} after being attacked by Team Rocket. Unfortunately, it has kept its bad behavior from when it was a Piloswine. Despite this, Dawn is still eager to train Mamoswine well.
[[Image:Piloswine.png|As a {{p|Piloswine}}|thumb|200px|right]]
In battle, {{P|Mamoswine}} had shown to be incredibly powerful thanks to its large and powerful physique. It was shown to take {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Whirlpool}} ''and'' {{m|Peck}} in quick succession with no resistance at all as well as knocking it out for the third time in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

Mamoswine wasn't interested to watch Dawn in contests initially. Instead, it just slept with a pompom on its head. Later on, during Dawn's battle with [[Ursula]] in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Mamoswine sparked an interest after seeing Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} use Pachirisu's {{m|Super Fang|new move}} to the fullest.
{{left clear}}

In ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'', Mamoswine was injured during a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Aggron}}. Dawn and her Pokémon used the first aid skills taught to her by Brock in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' to help Mamoswine recover, and later attempted to protect Mamoswine against Team Rocket. As a result, Mamoswine gained respect for Dawn and under her instructions, it was able to defeat Aggron. From then on, Mamoswine still has a tiny bit of a rebellious attitude, but when Dawn is in danger it does not hesitate to help her.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', although it pretended not to be interested, Mamoswine helped {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} train for the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Later during the contest it tried to sleep instead of cheerleading, as usual. Although when Ambipom started battling [[Kenny's Prinplup]], it started to watch and eventually got completely drawn into the excitement with wide eyes.

In ''[[DP134|Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!]]'', Dawn decided to train the Twin Tusk Pokémon for her upcoming Contest. All was going well until Mamoswine causes an accident and runs off into a jungle, angry and embarrassed, causing Dawn to go after it. A wild {{p|Tangrowth}} appears and attacks Mamoswine, defeating it with {{m|Absorb}}. Team Rocket later appears to cause havoc, and Mamoswine successfully learns {{m|Hidden Power}} in the process of attacking Team Rocket.

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Dawn used Mamoswine in its first contest during the battle round of the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest. Earlier in the episode, Dawn taught it a trick that utilizes swallowing {{m|Ice Shard}} to create ice spikes on its back, inspired by {{AP|Grotle|Torterra}} swallowing its own {{m|Energy Ball}}. Unfortunately however, during the Contest battle against {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, it lost its temper and began rampaging out of control, resulting in a loss. However, Mamoswine was sadden by the loss, it was eager to begin training again.
[[File:Mamoswine Cyndaquil DP165.png|thumb|left|250px|Mamoswine and Cyndaquil's Quadruple Combination]]
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Mamoswine was training to find its contest partner. It failed to sync with both {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. It finally found its partner after it worked well with [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]] after a successful Flame-Ice. Though the new partners were defeated during their practice battle against [[Zoey]], after Zoey's {{p|Kirlia}} used {{m|Psychic}} to control her {{p|Leafeon}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}.

In ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', Mamoswine and Cyndaquil were used for the [[battle round]] of the {{town|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. The Flame-Ice combination was used by Dawn in the battle against her first foe's {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Mightyena}}, but it failed due to the ice melting. In the battle with [[Ursula]], Dawn started using both of Mamoswine and Cyndaquil's capabilities. Mamoswine swallowed Ice Shard which made the fur on Mamoswine's back and head freeze into large spears of ice which cause extra damage when {{m|Take Down}} is used. It was also used with the double contest battle against Ursula's Minun and Plusle when Cyndaquil used {{m|Swift}} to surround Mamoswine. Cyndaquil then turned the flame on its back on as the two charged for Ursula's {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Despite Ursula losing some points, the move failed to hit the two Pokémon. After managing to work together to both attack and defend against Ursula's Pokémon's attacks, as well as mastering the Flame-Ice combo, Dawn managed to win the battle, earning her fifth ribbon.

In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', Mamoswine was used alongside {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in the first battle round of the Grand Festival against {{TP|Ursula|Gabite}} and {{p|Flareon}}. Despite a good start, Mamoswine and Pachirisu soon found themselves struggling and Mamoswine found itself overpowered by {{p|Flareon}}'s {{type2|Fire}} moves as well as a powerful {{m|Scary Face}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However Pachirisu and Mamoswine were able to pull off Dawn's newest improvised move, ''Ice Chandelier'', despite Pachirisu having originally practiced with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. As a result, both Gabite and Flareon were defeated.

Mamoswine's final appearance in the series came in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', where it was briefly seen helping [[Ash's Gliscor]] train its {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Moves improvised===
*'''Ice Armour''': By swallowing its own Ice Shard, Mamoswine can create ice spikes on its back.
*'''Flame Ice''' is a combination which was created by Mamoswine and Cyndaquil when they were training with Dawn in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]''. It involves Cyndaquil being trapped by Mamoswine's Ice Shard while utilizing Flame Wheel. It was perfected in the battle against [[Ursula]] in ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]''.
*'''Quadruple Combination''' was first used in a battle with [[Ursula]] in [[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]] Mamoswine uses the Swallowing Ice Shard Technique to create the Ice Armour. Cyndaquil then uses Swift in a Circle around Mamoswine. Then Cyndaquil makes the flame on it's back split into two. Mamoswine then uses Take Down while Cyndaquil is on the top part of the Ice Armour.
*'''Ice Chandelier''' was used first used with Mamoswine in ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', once again against Ursula. It involves Mamoswine using Ice Shard to trap {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a ball of ice, after which it uses {{m|Discharge}}. Using {{m|AncientPower}} on it allows it to float while still under Pachirisu's control while {{m|Hidden Power}} adds power to the combination.

==Trivia==
* ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle]]'', the episode in which {{p|Swinub}} evolves into {{p|Piloswine}}, first aired in Japan in the same week that ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]'', the episode in which Swinub is captured, first aired in the United States. The same thing happened to [[Ash's Gliscor]] and Gligar.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, was the first capture Dawn made since {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, exactly [[DP034|50 episodes before]]. It is also her only capture in which she didn't {{pkmn|battle}} the Pokémon twice, or even at all.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, has some similarities with [[May's Munchlax]]: Mamoswine loves to eat mass quantities of [[Poffin]]; likewise, May's Munchlax enjoys mass quantities of [[Pokéblock]] (the [[Generation III]] counterpart of the Poffin).
* Mamoswine is similar to [[Ash's Charizard]] in several aspects. Both Pokémon began disobeying their respective trainers after evolution, only to begin following orders after each facing another Pokémon who severely injured them. However, Mamoswine took at least 13 episodes ([[DP106]]-[[DP119]]) to start obeying Dawn, while Charizard, not counting it's time as a Charmeleon, took a full ''59'' episodes ([[EP046]]-[[EP105]]) to start obeying Ash once again. It was also captured in an episode featuring a character sharing an English voice actress with {{jo|Liza}}, whom Ash left Charizard with.
* Mamoswine is Dawn's second evolved Pokémon, the first being {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}. Both are final forms of a [[Generation II]] evolution family. Coincidentally, both need to know a specific move to evolve.
* Mamoswine is the only Pokémon in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to appear evolved in an opening prior to its actual evolution being shown.
* Both of Mamoswine's evolutions happened during a battle with [[Team Rocket]].
* Mamoswine is similar to Ash's Gliscor in a couple of ways. Both of them were their Trainer's fourth capture in Sinnoh, both are part of a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Generation II evolution family}} and are both [[Ground (type)|Ground]] types. They also sat out of exactly three Contests/Gym battles before finally participating.

'''Zoey's Glameow''' (Japanese: '''ノゾミのニャルマー''' ''Nozomi's Nyarmar'') was [[Zoey]]'s first [[Pokémon]] seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also her main Pokémon, similar to the way {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} is to [[Drew]].

==History==
[[File:Zoey glameow young.png|Glameow first meeting Zoey|thumb|250px|left]]
Glameow was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'' when it approached {{an|Dawn}} with her missing choker around its tail. It wasn't until the [[DP012|next episode]], however, that it showed just how strong it really was. During the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest, it managed to take out {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Dawn's Buneary]], and [[Jessie]]'s borrowed {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, earning Zoey the {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Ribbon]]. Later on it was revealed that it defeated [[Kenny's Empoleon|Kenny's Prinplup]] as well.

It appeared again in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]'' where it battled a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{AP|Buizel}}, Zoey was attempting to catch. However after an impressive battle it was knocked out by Buizel's {{m|Aqua Jet}}. In ''[[DP041|The Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' along with {{TP|Zoey|Misdreavus}} it found {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} so they could help Zoey. Later, along with {{TP|Zoey|Shellos|Gastrodon}} it showed Dawn a Double Performance using its {{m|Shock Wave}} with Shellos's {{m|Mud Bomb}} to create a dazzling performance. Then [[Jessie|Jessalina]] appears and uses her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} in a double battle with Glameow and Shellos. Jessalina had some good combinations but was no match for Zoey and was defeated.

Zoey uses Glameow in the [[Hearthome City]] Contest were along with Shellos is used in the first round creating an astonishing performance. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch!]]'', Glameow is used in a battle against Dawn's Buizel to gain its experience in contests.

Zoey used it again to battle [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', but it was defeated by a combination of {{m|Magical Leaf}} and {{m|Psywave}}.

Zoey used Glameow in the [[Wallace Cup]]'s semifinal round against {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition.

It also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where it was revealed how it was caught by Zoey. She found {{p|Glameow}} abandoned in a box in an alley one cold day. Her parents wouldn't let her keep it, saying she was too young to be a Pokémon Trainer. They told her to take it to a [[Pokémon Center]], but she decided to hide it in a shed and take care of it in secret as well. Zoey and [[Candice]] both raised Glameow together until Zoey became a Trainer, at which point Glameow joined Zoey on her journey as her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' it helped Zoey to the Semi-finals alongside her {{p|Gastrodon}}, and in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was a key Pokémon in Zoey's victory in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] final against {{an|Dawn}} and alongside {{p|Gallade}}.

===Moves improvised===
*'''Mud Bomb-Shock Wave combination''' Zoey had her {{TP|Zoey|Shellos|Gastrodon}} fire a {{m|Mud Bomb}} into the air, which Glameow used {{m|Shock Wave}} on, dotting up Shellos's attack.
*'''Shadow Claw-Blizzard combination''' Zoey had her Glameow use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, and then Shellos would use {{m|Blizzard}} on the Shadow Claw,making it look like the blizzard is coming out of Glameow's paw, making it a much more powerful and beautiful attack.
*'''Signal-Tail''' was a move used by Zoey during her battle against {{an|Dawn}} in the [[DP177|final]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. For the move, Zoey's {{p|Gallade}} would fire a {{m|Signal Beam}} at Glameow while it was using {{m|Iron Tail}}. By twirling its tail around, Glameow could capture the Signal Beam and create a spiral effect, which it would then fire at the opponent.
*'''Electrified-Psycho Cut''' it was the final attack against Dawn, it starts off with Gallade doing a flip while using Psycho Cut. Glameow then puts it's tail up, Gallade then jumps into Glameow's tail Glameow then uses Thunderbolt on Gallade, his blades are now charged with electricity and then fires his Electrified Psycho-Cut toward Dawn's Sky Attack-Peck Combination ending her battle with Dawn giving Zoey the win.

==Trivia==
*Glameow is one of two signature Pokémon belonging to rival a that is unevolved, the other one being [[Tyson's Meowth]].
**Interestingly, they are both based on cats.
*Glameow is Zoey's only known Pokémon that is unevolved.

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] [[Pokémon]]. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

==History==
[[Image:Dawn and Piplup2.png|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|200px|left]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn—as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when Dawn said that Ash's Gible did not have ill intent when it was practicing its Draco Meteor in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', when a Chimchar stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', or when it repeatedly missed out on eating a berry and starts a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, he was fairly weak at first. [[Jessie's Seviper]] easily defeated the starter Pokémon in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', as well as {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''. However, he was easily defeated by [[Dawn's Piloswine]] in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two [[ribbon]]s in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; he will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, and also often tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen for example in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Piplup helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face. Two episodes later in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was again the same.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', Piplup began the [[evolution]] process. However, it soon became clear that Piplup was unwilling to undergo the transformation to {{p|Prinplup}}. After an encounter with [[Team Rocket]], {{an|Dawn}} gave Piplup her full support and acquired an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent his evolution for as long as he wants.

[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn admiring Piplup in his new costume]]
In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with a Marill; however, a wild {{p|Elekid}} is competing for the Marill's affections. When the three Pokémon get separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid work together to save Marill. Once Marill was saved, she decided to go with Elekid, and left Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', he battled Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} together with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a [[double battle]]. Despite him and Pachirisu trying their best, they just weren't powerful enough to defeat Glameow and Umbreon, which resulted in a loss for Dawn.

Ever since [[Ash's Gible]] made its debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of Gible's {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a running gag. ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'' expanded on this event in which Piplup ran away from the {{ashfr|group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped Piplup learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', it implies that {{m|Draco Meteor}} can be used to differentiate Piplup from other {{p|Piplup}}.

Piplup was used in the appeal rounds of {{town|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, along with Buneary. They managed to get Dawn to the battle round.

In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' Piplup was used along with Togekiss in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against Zoey's Gallade and Glameow. Despite coming up with a new combination and trying their best they lost at the last second.

For {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn made Piplup a new costume to wear instead of the usual cheerleader outfit.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when it realized {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were leaving since it couldn't accept the fact. However Dawn and everyone else consoled it saying that they would always be friends to the end.

Its latest appearance was in [[SS024]] where it was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside Cyndaquil. But when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination; the battle was stopped due to them fighting.

*'''Spin''' was first used in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'' where Piplup, together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, battled an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He spun around and used {{m|BubbleBeam}}. In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he span while using {{m|Bide}}, absorbing a {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack and turning purple. A spinning variation of {{m|Peck}} was used in its contest appeal in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. It was used again in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' to dodge [[Zoey|Zoey's Gallade]]'s {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.
[[Image:SkyAttack Peck Combination.png|Sky Attack-Peck combination from ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''|thumb|right|250px]]

*'''Sweet Kiss-Bubble Beam''' was used in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' First {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} uses {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, and then Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and the two moves combine making the hearts go inside the bubbles.

*'''BubbleBeam-Aura Sphere''' was used in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was the first attack made by Dawn, it starts off with Piplup using {{m|BubbleBeam}} and it forms into a circle and then Togekiss uses Aura Sphere in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because Zoey destroyed it with her Glameow and Gallade in a matter of seconds.

*'''Aura Whirlpool''' was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey. For the move, after Piplup launched a {{m|Whirlpool}} Togekiss would then fire an {{m|Aura Sphere}} inside, causing the Whirlpool to turn blue. Using this move, Piplup and Togekiss were able to successfully counter {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and Gallade's Signal-Tail combination.

*'''Sky Attack-Peck Combination''' was also used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Dawn orders [[Dawn's Togekiss|her Togekiss]] to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results on a crimson aerial attack with which Dawn concludes her battle.

*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against [[Team Rocket]] in [[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]. It is a combination of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

*'''Bubble-Swift Formation''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]] it starts off with Piplup jumping on top of Cyndaquil and forming BubbleBeam into a circle then Cyndaquil uses Swift in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because [[Johanna]] destroyed it with her Glameow and Umbreon in a matter of seconds.

*'''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]]. For the combination, Piplup would cover a {{m|Flame Wheel}} created by Cyndaquil with a Whirlpool which created a sphere of water with fire inside. However, when Dawn attempted to use it during the her practice battle against [[Johanna]] the combination failed throwing both Pokémon to the ground.

==Trivia==
*For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''Potchama ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto'' "{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} jumps into the water with a splash."
*The opening sequence of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a star seal with Piplup's Poké Ball until ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', three seasons later.
*Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of his ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never directly expressed that he did not like being inside of the ball.
**Piplup was unwilling to obey Dawn when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends after Pikachu and Piplup saved their respective trainers from an attacking group of Pokémon; Pikachu saved Ash from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} while Piplup saved Dawn from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
***Also, he has expressed reluctance to evolve and chose to stay in his base form for the time being, and Dawn was given an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup from evolving.
*Piplup's gender was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.
*Piplup has battled his two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup will probably not evolve very soon, referring to his evolutions as "ugly" or not good for contests.
* Of all of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup was only completely absent from 17 of the 191 episodes.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] [[Pokémon]]. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

==History==
[[Image:Dawn and Piplup2.png|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|200px|left]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn—as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when Dawn said that Ash's Gible did not have ill intent when it was practicing its Draco Meteor in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', when a Chimchar stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', or when it repeatedly missed out on eating a berry and starts a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when Dawn said that Ash's Gible did not have ill intent when it was practicing its Draco Meteor in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', when a Chimchar stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', or when it repeatedly missed out on eating a berry and starts a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, he was fairly weak at first. [[Jessie's Seviper]] easily defeated the starter Pokémon in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', as well as {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''. However, he was easily defeated by [[Dawn's Piloswine]] in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two [[ribbon]]s in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; he will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, and also often tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen for example in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Piplup helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face. Two episodes later in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was again the same.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', Piplup began the [[evolution]] process. However, it soon became clear that Piplup was unwilling to undergo the transformation to {{p|Prinplup}}. After an encounter with [[Team Rocket]], {{an|Dawn}} gave Piplup her full support and acquired an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent his evolution for as long as he wants.

[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|left|250px|Dawn admiring Piplup in his new costume]]
In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with a Marill; however, a wild {{p|Elekid}} is competing for the Marill's affections. When the three Pokémon get separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid work together to save Marill. Once Marill was saved, she decided to go with Elekid, and left Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', he battled Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} together with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a [[double battle]]. Despite him and Pachirisu trying their best, they just weren't powerful enough to defeat Glameow and Umbreon, which resulted in a loss for Dawn.

Ever since [[Ash's Gible]] made its debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of Gible's {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a running gag. ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'' expanded on this event in which Piplup ran away from the {{ashfr|group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped Piplup learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', it implies that {{m|Draco Meteor}} can be used to differentiate Piplup from other {{p|Piplup}}.

Piplup was used in the appeal rounds of {{town|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, along with Buneary. They managed to get Dawn to the battle round.

In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' Piplup was used along with Togekiss in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against Zoey's Gallade and Glameow. Despite coming up with a new combination and trying their best they lost at the last second.

For {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn made Piplup a new costume to wear instead of the usual cheerleader outfit.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when it realized {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were leaving since it couldn't accept the fact. However Dawn and everyone else consoled it saying that they would always be friends to the end.

Its latest appearance was in [[SS024]] where it was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside Cyndaquil. But when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination; the battle was stopped due to them fighting.

===Moves improvised===
*'''Spin''' was first used in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'' where Piplup, together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, battled an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He spun around and used {{m|BubbleBeam}}. In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he span while using {{m|Bide}}, absorbing a {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack and turning purple. A spinning variation of {{m|Peck}} was used in its contest appeal in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. It was used again in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' to dodge [[Zoey|Zoey's Gallade]]'s {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.
[[Image:SkyAttack Peck Combination.png|Sky Attack-Peck combination from ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''|thumb|right|250px]]

*'''Sweet Kiss-Bubble Beam''' was used in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' First {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} uses {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, and then Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and the two moves combine making the hearts go inside the bubbles.

*'''BubbleBeam-Aura Sphere''' was used in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was the first attack made by Dawn, it starts off with Piplup using {{m|BubbleBeam}} and it forms into a circle and then Togekiss uses Aura Sphere in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to use with this, because Zoey destroyed it with Glameow and Gallade in a matter of seconds.

*'''Aura Whirlpool''' was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey. For the move, after Piplup launched a {{m|Whirlpool}} Togekiss would then fire an {{m|Aura Sphere}} inside, causing the Whirlpool to turn blue. Using this move, Piplup and Togekiss were able to successfully counter {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and Gallade's Signal-Tail combination.

*'''Sky Attack-Peck Combination''' was also used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Dawn orders [[Dawn's Togekiss|her Togekiss]] to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results on a crimson aerial attack with which Dawn concludes her battle.

*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against [[Team Rocket]] in [[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]. It is a combination of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

*'''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]]. For the combination, Piplup would cover a {{m|Flame Wheel}} created by Cyndaquil with a Whirlpool which created a sphere of water with fire inside. However, when Dawn attempted to use it during the her practice battle against [[Johanna]] the combination failed throwing both Pokémon to the ground.

==Trivia==
*For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''Potchama ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto'' "{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} jumps into the water with a splash."
*The opening sequence of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a star seal with Piplup's Poké Ball until ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', three seasons later.
*Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of his ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never directly expressed that he did not like being inside of the ball.
**Piplup was unwilling to obey Dawn when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends after Pikachu and Piplup saved their respective trainers from an attacking group of Pokémon; Pikachu saved Ash from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} while Piplup saved Dawn from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
***Also, he has expressed reluctance to evolve and chose to stay in his base form for the time being, and Dawn was given an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup from evolving.
*Piplup's gender was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.
*Piplup has battled his two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup will probably not evolve very soon, referring to his evolutions as "ugly" or not good for contests.
* Of all of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup was only completely absent from 17 of the 191 episodes.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

[[File:Yuri Unova.png|250px|thumb|Yuri]]
(Japanese: '''ユリ''' ''Yuri'') is a [[character of the day|one-time character]] who appeared in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]''. She is voiced by 折笠富美子 ''[[Fumiko Orikasa]]'' in Japanese.

Daniela is a {{tc|Nursery Aide|kindergarten teacher}} who runs a {{pkmn|Day Care}}, alongside her grandmother [[Kikuyo]], close to [[Nacrene City]]. One day, the children in her kindergarten class befriended a {{p|Trubbish}}; however, she didn't allow them to keep it due to her fearing that it would live up to its reputation and eat the children's toys. As a result, her students rebelled against her and kept Trubbish in their self-made secret base, not allowing anyone to approach it.

Even after Trubbish saved the kids from a [[Sunglasses Krokorok|Sandile]] that attacked them, she still wished to get rid of it until the secret base started to collapse (caused by her {{p|Deerling}}). She tried to save [[Hirota]], but Trubbish saved all the children. As a result, her attitude towards it softened, and she allowed Trubbish to stay.

* Foongus, along with its evolution, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a [[Poké Ball]].
** However, unlike Voltorb and Electrode, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
** Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolution line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
** Foongus's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with {{p|Amoonguss|its evolved form}}.
* Foongus and its evolved form {{p|Morobareru}} share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** In addition, all of the above Pokémon debut in an odd numbered generation: Paras and Parasect in Generation I, Shroomish and Breloom in Generation III, and Foongus and Amoonguss in Generation V.
* Despite being based on a mushroom, Foongus and its evolution can learn and use {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Synthesis}}. They share this degree of similarity with {{p|Vileplume}}, who is based on the ''{{wp|rafflesia}}'', which cannot perform photosynthesis, like the mushroom.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on ''{{wp|amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type|Poison}}. The cap is designed to look like the front of a Poké Ball.

====Name origin====
Its name may be derived from 茸 ''take'', {{wp|mushroom}} (or, more specifically, the ''{{wp|Shiitake}}'' mushroom), and 玉 ''tama'', sphere, referencing the design of its cap. Another possible origin is the word 魂消る ''tamageru'', "to be astonished." Foongus along with it's evolution may be based on the corruption of the phrase '''Fungus Among Us'''.

==Trivia==
* Foongus, along with its evolution, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a [[Poké Ball]].
** However, unlike Voltorb and Electrode, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
** Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolution line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
** Foongus's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with {{p|Amoonguss|its evolved form}}.
* Foongus and its evolved form {{p|Morobareru}} share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** In addition, all of the above Pokémon debut in an odd numbered generation: Paras and Parasect in Generation I, Shroomish and Breloom in Generation III, and Foongus and Amoonguss in Generation V.
* Despite being based on a mushroom, Foongus and its evolution can learn and use {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Synthesis}}. They share this degree of similarity with {{p|Vileplume}}, who is based on the ''{{wp|rafflesia}}'', which cannot perform photosynthesis, like the mushroom.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on ''{{wp|amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type|Poison}}. The cap is designed to look like the front of a Poké Ball. Foongus along with it's evolution may be based on the phrase '''Fungus Among Us'''.

====Name origin====
Its name may be derived from 茸 ''take'', {{wp|mushroom}} (or, more specifically, the ''{{wp|Shiitake}}'' mushroom), and 玉 ''tama'', sphere, referencing the design of its cap. Another possible origin is the word 魂消る ''tamageru'', "to be astonished."

'''Dawn's Ambipom''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのエテボース''' ''Hikari's Eteboth'') is the only Pokémon to be captured by {{ash}} in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Much later, she was traded to {{an|Dawn}} in exchange for {{AP|Buizel}}.

==History==
[[Image:AshAipom.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with Aipom]]
===With Ash===
Aipom was first seen in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong!]]'', worshiping a giant {{p|Slaking}} with several other mountain-dwelling Pokémon. She also stole [[Ash's hat]], much like [[Ash's Primeape]] did [[EP025|428 episodes earlier]], with a group of Aipom getting food to offer the Slaking. Later, Aipom joined the other Aipom, as well as several {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Vigoroth}} and {{p|Slaking}}, to attack the giant Slaking, which turned out to be a mechanical robot made by [[Team Rocket]]. She then helped in returning the stolen berries to {{ka|Taylor}}. Later, after Ash and his friends left Taylor's home, the group sees Ash's hat on a rock. After wondering who placed it there, they found out that it was Aipom, due to an apple and a flower she left with the hat. The group then continues their journey as Ash says Aipom is a cool Pokémon after all. Unknown to them, the happy Aipom was watching them from a nearby tree.

Aipom soon reappeared in the next episode, ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again.

In ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard]]'', due to her causing too much trouble, Ash attempted to catch her. After {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Quick Attack}} to get Ash's hat back and {{m|Thunderbolt}} to weaken her more, she was still able to foil Ash's capture attempt.

In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', as well as the previous episode, after watching {{an|May}} in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Aipom became thrilled with {{pkmn|battle|battling}} and challenged {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} for a battle; as he won, Ash finally {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} her in front of a huge crowd.

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance!]]'', Aipom became jealous of Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headgear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. The members of a crowd who wanted to crown, as well as Ash and his friends, attempted to remove the crown from her head so she would not become their king for a year. With the help of a [[Belue Berry]]'s sourness, the crown was finally taken off. Ash then hugged Aipom and told her not to get into trouble all the time. As Ash laughed a bit when he told her this, Aipom blushed.

Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of the said episode while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers. {{an|May}} said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 ''Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?''. In [[DP048]], Dawn also explicitly calls Aipom a girl, and in the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', both Aipom and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are referred to as girls, confirming them to be female.

Aipom enjoys participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Her interest was first perked in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' where she took an interest in May's battle with [[Harley]]. Aipom also watched her battle with [[Drew]] before enticing Ash into catching her. While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her [[Poké Ball]], in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.

In order to bring back {{AP|Torkoal}} to battle {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Registeel}} in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Ash sent Aipom to {{an|Professor Oak}}, where Aipom had trouble adjusting to the new environment and Ash's absence, even attacking the Professor. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.

When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], he wanted to leave all of his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]]. However, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey. During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom defeated {{AP|Paul's Chimchar|Infernape}} in battle and helped Ash capture his {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}}. Ash also used her in his first two [[Gym]] battles in the region.

In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Aipom entered her first contest with Ash. They got through the [[Appeals round]] but lost the first battle round to [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. After the battle, Zoey suggested that Ash should let Dawn raise Aipom.

In ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]'', Aipom put up a fight against [[Roark]]'s {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}} in Ash's first gym match in [[Sinnoh]], but lost. In their rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'', she defeated {{p|Geodude}}.

In ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', Aipom entered an unofficial contest under [[Jessie]]'s command and won against [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].

She was used in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym Battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' as well, going against [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Roserade}}, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his {{badge|Forest}}.

===With Dawn===
[[Image:DawnAipom.png|Dawn and Aipom|thumb|right|200px]]
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Ash began the training for his next Gym battle in [[Veilstone City]]. However, {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set his mind on Dawn's training; meanwhile Ash's Aipom appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because she tended to be more interested in Dawn's {{pkmn|Contest}} {{pkmn|training}}. Then Zoey proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s agreed, and the trade took place.

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Aipom managed to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. {{an|Brock}} told Dawn that Aipom would evolve soon. Later in the episode, when Dawn was being attacked by a group of {{p|Unown}}, Aipom jumped in front of Dawn to protect her and evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her appeal for the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, but failed to pass the [[Appeals round]]. [[Zoey]] explained to Dawn that she failed due to an overuse of {{m|Swift}}, blocking {{p|Ambipom}} from view. Ambipom also learned how to break dance, by spinning her tail to make waves of Swift attacks.

[[Image:D-Ambipom.png|Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Ambipom|thumb|left|250px]]
In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her gym battle against [[Maylene]]. She was chosen for her extensive battling experience with Ash. Ambipom proved her strength in the battle by defeating Maylene's {{p|Meditite}}, making her the only Pokémon Dawn used in the match who managed to defeat one of Maylene's team. Despite this Ambipom found herself unable to stand up to the strength of [[Maylene's Lucario]] and was quickly knocked out.

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', Dawn once again used Ambipom for the appeal round in the [[Wallace Cup]]. She managed to pass the round by dazzling the judges with {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Double Hit}}.
[[File:AshDawnAmbipom.png|Ambipom saying goodbye to Ash and Dawn|thumb|250px]]
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' Dawn used her in the {{to|Celestic}} Contest Battle Rounds. Ambipom was able to easily defeat her first two opponents and then went up against [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}}. Ambipom won the Contest by using combinations of {{m|Double Hit}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Swift}}.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', Ambipom was used in a Contest in [[Sandalstraw Town]], and was defeated by [[Kenny's Prinplup]] in the finals. During the Contest, she discovered a love and talent for {{wp|table tennis|ping pong}}. She used this talent to compete in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True]]'''s [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Due to her obvious natural ability, fellow competitor [[O]] offered her a place at his Ping Pong Training Center in [[Vermilion City]]. Dawn left the decision to Ambipom. After deciding to pursue Ping Pong over her love of Contests, Ambipom bid farewell to Dawn and Ash and left the group in order to follow her talent.

===Move improvised===
* '''Spin''' was used by Ambipom, when it was still an Aipom under Ash's command. The move was used to evade [[Roark]]'s {{p|Geodude}}'s {{m|Rollout}} in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]''.
* '''Spinning Swift''' was first used in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' where Aipom released a Swift that spun around Gardenia's Roserade. It was later used again in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'' (after Aipom evolved into Ambipom) where it was used against Maylene's Meditite.
*'''Rainbow Swift''' Ambipom balances herself with her hand and starts spinning her tails glow and the stars shoot out of it Ambipom then spins on her back (break-dances) the stars then collide making spurts of rainbows.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Aipom. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about her: エイパムが　しっぽでつかむ　サトシのハート ''{{tt|Eipam|Aipom}}, it seizes with its tail, {{tt|Satoshi's|Ash's}} heart.''
* For ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', Professor Oak's lecture is about Dawn's Ambipom. This makes her the first Pokémon character to be the focus of the lecture twice.
* Aipom is one of the few Pokémon on the show to have its gender explicitly stated via dialog multiple times, including the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]''.
* Aipom is one of the few main characters' Pokémon to be traded, along with [[Jessie's Lickitung]] and [[Ash's Butterfree]].
** However she is the only one to be traded from one main character to another.
* Aipom shares some similarities with Ash's Butterfree. Both were caught, evolved, traded, and released (although, unlike Butterfree, Aipom evolved ''after'' being traded). Both had their genders confirmed (Aipom being female, and Butterfree being male).
** In the Brazilian dub, however, Ambipom is referred to as male.
* Aipom shares some similarities with another of Ash's primate Pokémon, {{AP|Primeape}}. Both evolved while not owned by him - Primeape in the wild and Ambipom with Dawn. Both of these Pokémon have also annoyed Ash by stealing his {{AP|hat}}, and both were later released by their Trainer to pursue another kind of training. In addition, the Trainers both were given to participated in a competition where both Pokémon participated respectively, and are based in Kanto ({{Ka|Anthony}} was given Primeape in Kanto, while O was based in Vermilion City).
* Aipom is the fourth Pokémon to take Ash's hat, after the aforementioned {{AP|Primeape}}, then {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}.
* Due to now being Dawn's Pokémon, Aipom is the only Pokémon owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character.
* Ambipom was the first Pokémon belonging to Dawn that evolved, and her first fully evolved Pokémon.
* Ambipom is the second traded Pokémon in the anime to evolve, after [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|James's second Victreebel]].
* Aipom was the first of six {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, followed by {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanma|Yanmega}}, {{TP|Dawn|Swinub|Mamoswine}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} (second if one counts {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}).
* Ambipom, under Dawn's ownership, and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} both evolved quickly from their previous stages. Ambipom spent about five episodes as an Aipom with Dawn while Mamoswine only spent two as a Piloswine.
* Ambipom, along with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, another {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, are Dawn's only Pokémon to have never disobeyed her at any point.
* Ambipom is the only Pokémon of Dawn's that shares an English voice actress with her.
* Despite being given away in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Ambipom, unlike other Pokémon that left the main cast, was not removed from the [[High Touch!|opening sequence]] until the sequence itself was replaced over eight months later.

Rival

----
[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the Pokémon [[games]] that is well known to the [[protagonist]] and has similar skills, goals and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the hero's quest, having a role in several of the games' events, and often challenges him or her in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.

==In the games==
In the [[Version|main series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This class of characters has appeared beginning in [[Generation I]], and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon, and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, always being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]]. After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that weakens the one the player chose at the beginning of the game, though [[Wally]], {{ga|Bianca}}, and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Yellow}} are exceptions.

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' [[trainer class]]; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer]]s''. Additionally, for one battle in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue".

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his rival Paul]]
Various rivals for the {{Ashfr|main characters}} have also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*{{Ash}} has had [[Gary Oak]], [[Paul]], {{an|Barry}}, and [[Trip]] as his major rivals. Minor rivals include [[Nando]] and [[Conway]], who, while they battled Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other four. Many other characters also collect badges and may be counted as rivals in the future.
*{{an|May}} has [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]].
*{{an|Dawn}} has [[Zoey]], {{si|Kenny}}, [[Ursula]], and [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. A minor rival included [[Nando]].
*[[Johanna]] had a childhood rivalry with [[Lila]].
*{{an|Brock}} had a friendly (and short-lived) rivalry with [[Suzy]].
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] have a rivalry with [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{cleanup|section}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Red}}'s first rivalry blossomed when, just as their game counterparts did, he and {{adv|Blue}} were each given the first two [[Pokédex]], as well as starter Pokémon to compliment their already growing parties (somewhat unlike in the games). Red received [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], while Blue acquired the starter that weakens his, and both times his [[Blue's Charizard|Charmander]] evolved before Red's. As would become a tradition in the manga, {{adv|Green}}, hearing of these two fellow [[Pallet Town]] Trainers' big send offs on journeys, stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] (weakened by Red's) and proved to be a somewhat irritating obstacle for Red at times, stealing two of his badges and shrewdly taking his {{evostone|Moon Stone}} for later use before using the boy as a pawn to gather the seven known badges at the time to create [[Zapmolcuno]] (not knowing at the time that it would create a three-headed bird monster, a kind which she fears above all else). She also competed in the [[Pokémon League]] after Red's excursions in the [[Viridian Gym]] against [[Giovanni]], as well as his capture of {{adv|Mewtwo}}. She finally faced the then-disguised [[Professor Oak|Professor]] in the semi-finals, but after her phobia of bird Pokémon was exploited, she lost, and after Oak's forfeit, Red defeated his rival in the final match.

{{adv|Yellow}}, who took over as the protagonist two years later, had no real rival, but as both she and [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] had the psychic healing powers of [[Viridian Forest]], he would most closely match this description.

One year later, the tradition of the rival character acquiring a starter that weakens the protagonist's would again be revisited when {{adv|Silver}} steals his [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] while {{adv|Gold}} took a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]]. Once again, the rival would evolve his starter before the boy when his Totodile became a {{p|Croconaw}} before Gold's evolved to {{p|Quilava}}, but after they were horribly defeated and narrowly saved by {{p|Entei}}, they would fall into a coma lasting for several weeks, during which a third protagonist, {{adv|Crystal}}, is given a {{p|Chikorita}}, the last remaining starter (along with the final Pokédex), and it too evolved to a {{p|Bayleef}}. The three then were reunited in the [[Whirl Islands]], and evolved to the final stages simultaneously.

Years after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} would be given opposite starters, but unlike before (possibly attributed to the fact that Sapphire is female), Ruby would now acquire a [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] and Sapphire would be given the disadvantaged [[Toro|Torchic]]. Both evolved to their final stage similarly, though again the rival of the main playable character, Ruby, would evolve his first both times.

Ironically, {{p|Treecko|the Grass-type starter}} would again meet the fate of being partnered after its chums when it at last becomes {{p|Grovyle}} with [[Wally]], and is revealed to have been smuggled into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] after evolving to its [[Emerald's Sceptile|final stage]] in the wild. As originally intended, it ended up with {{adv|Emerald}}.

The protagonists for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} received the same type starters as the RGB seniors years before, when {{adv|Diamond}} (based on {{ga|Lucas}}) ended up with a [[Tru|Turtwig]], {{adv|Pearl}} (based on the rival character) with a [[Chimler|Chimchar]], and {{adv|Platinum}} (based on {{ga|Dawn}}) was given a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]]. However, unlike the first protagonists, their starters evolved almost exactly at the same time, with Diamond and Pearl's starters evolving simultaneously both times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Trip.png|thumb|235px|right|Ash and his rival Trip]]
* Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a {{p|Krabby}}, Paul uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, Barry uses a {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heracross}}, and [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Servine}}.
* Ash also has at least one species of Pokémon that some of his minor rivals own. [[Ritchie]] owns a Pikachu, Charmeleon and a Taillow while [[Morrison]] owns a Gligar and [[Tyson (Hoenn)|Tyson]] owns a Sceptile and a Donphan.
* Almost all of the rivals in the games are from the protagonist's hometown. Only Silver and Wally come from other places, with Silver's hometown being unknown and Wally hailing from Petalburg City.
* Brendan and May are the only rivals who can also be player characters.

Its forelimbs sport three fingers on each black-colored paw. Around its waist is a large, blue, fringed adornment, with seashells—like those Dewott possessed as an Oshawott—on the thighs. Its feet are tipped in black and its somewhat plank-shaped tail is also black-colored.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Dewott can detach the two shells from its hips and use them as bladed weapons. Swordshell-wielding attacks differ between Dewott.

===Behavior===

==Trivia==
* Futachimaru was first seen on [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] from the {{series|Best Wishes}} along with {{p|Janovy}}, {{p|Woobat}}, and {{p|Axew}}.

===Origin===
Futachimaru is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref>. Its trait of fighting with its two shells may be based on {{wp|Tessenjutsu}}, a type of martial arts involving the {{wp|Japanese war fan}}.

====Name origin====
Futachimaru's name seems to come from 二つ ''futatsu'' meaning two, 太刀 ''tachi'' meaning long sword, and 丸 ''maru'', a common ending in a boy's name, especially in the time of samurai. The 二 ''futa'' in Futachimaru's name may imply a lineage within the evolutionary line, with Futachimaru being second in line.

==Trivia==
* Futachimaru was first seen on [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] from the {{series|Best Wishes}} along with {{p|Janovy}}, {{p|Woobat}}, and {{p|Axew}}.

===Origin===
Futachimaru is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref>. Its trait of fighting with its two shells may be based on {{wp|Tessenjutsu}}, a type of martial arts involving the {{wp|Japanese war fan}}.

====Name origin====
Futachimaru's name seems to come from 二つ ''futatsu'' meaning two, 太刀 ''tachi'' meaning long sword, and 丸 ''maru'', a common ending in a boy's name, especially in the time of samurai. The 二 ''futa'' in Futachimaru's name may imply a lineage within the evolutionary line, with Futachimaru being second in line.

'''Dawn's Pachirisu''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのパチリス''' ''Hikari's Pachirisu'') was the second Pokémon captured by {{an|Dawn}}, and her third Pokémon overall.

==History==
[[Image:Dawn and Pachirisu.png|thumb|left|200px|Dawn and Pachirisu]]
Dawn captured {{p|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy]]'', where it was shown to have a very hyperactive and mischievous personality. Due to its behavior and her inability to control it, Dawn felt that she had failed Pachirisu as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and released it. However, she realized her mistake and went back to get it, only to find that [[Jessie]] also wanted it. It managed to defeat [[Team Rocket]] and Dawn recaptured it.

At the beginning, Pachirisu had difficulty in controlling its {{t|electric}} moves and often used {{m|Discharge}} to give Dawn a bad hair day. However, after some training with Dawn, it was gradually able to use them effectively and has stopped ruining Dawn's hair. This new control was seen in its first {{pkmn|contest}}, where it was used in the appeal round of the {{to|Floaroma}} contest. It earned Dawn a place in the battle rounds. It was also used in the {{ci|Hearthome}} contest double appeal rounds with {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. However, this time Dawn was not able to make it past the appeal round.

Pachirisu became ill in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' from storing too much electricity, similar to {{AP|Pikachu}} did in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', but it soon recovered with the help of Ash, Dawn, Brock and the rest of their team of Pokémon.

Like [[May's Munchlax]]'s obsession with [[Pokéblock]]s, Pachirisu loved [[Poffin]]s and [[DP114|once]] started a rivalry with [[Ursula's Gabite]] because the {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon had stepped on its Poffin. It avenged its Poffin's memory by defeating Gabite in the final round of the [[Chocovine Town]] contest with its newly learned {{m|Super Fang}}. This also gave Dawn her fourth [[ribbon]].

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', it battled alongside Piplup against [[Johanna's Glameow]] and {{p|Umbreon}}. However, it was defeated by Johanna's powerful strategy.
[[File:Ice Chandelier.png|thumb|250px|Ice Chandelier]]
Pachirisu appears to have a fear of ice, as seen in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', where it was temporarily paired up with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] in order to make a Double Performance using its Discharge and Mamoswine's {{m|Ice Shard}} but failed in making it work due to its fear.

In ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', Dawn used Pachirisu to lead a {{p|Metagross}} and a {{p|Magnezone}} that were fighting away from the town that was feeling the wrath of their battle.

In ''[[DP167|Teaching The Student Teacher!]]'', Dawn perfects a new combination move called '''Ice Chandelier''' with the help of her Pachirisu and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. Pachirisu used Discharge while running around inside an ice globe created with the help of Buneary's {{m|Ice Beam}} which resulted in a new beautiful combination move.

In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', along with Mamoswine, it once again faced Ursula's Gabite as well as her new Flareon. Although Mamoswine and Pachirisu were very nearly defeated, they got Dawn her third victory over Ursula with the help of their Ice Chandelier move.

===Moves improvised===
* '''Discharged Whirlpool''' has two variations one is were Piplup uses Whirlpool above Pachirisu and Pachirisu uses Discharge. The other is when Piplup uses Whirlpool and Pachirisu jumps on top of it and uses Discharge causing the moves to join and fuse with water and electrical energy.
* '''Spin''' used in [[DP138|Another One Gabites the Dust!]] Pachirisu spins around the opponent.
* '''Plan A''' used in [[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]] Piplup uses BubbleBeam towards the ground the bubbles build into a wall of bubbles and Pachirisu jumps up from the top and uses Super Fang.
* '''Electrified Take Down''' Used in [[DP175|Opposites Interact!]] Pachirisu uses Discharges as front so it can also hit Mamoswine. Mamoswine then uses Take Down. Causing anything it hits to be hit with the power of the Discharge as well the power of the Take Down.
* '''Ice Chandelier''' is a combination that was created by {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and Pachirisu when they were training with {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP167|Teaching The Student Teacher!]]''. It involves Buneary using {{m|Ice Beam}} around Pachirisu, trapping it in a ball of ice. The move also works with {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}'s {{m|Ice Shard}}, as first seen in the same episode; however, this was only successfully pulled off the first time in ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]''. Pachirisu then runs around in the ball while using {{m|Discharge}}. The end result is a chandelier of ice that glows in a beautiful blue hue. Pachirisu can run inside the chandelier to hit foes. Using {{m|AncientPower}} on it allows it to float while still under Pachirisu's control while {{m|Hidden Power}} adds power to the combination. This combination may have been based on the failed combination tried by Dawn in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', the one that eventually lead to the ''Flame Ice'' combo.

==Trivia==
* Dawn's capture of Pachirisu marks the first time since {{AP|Pikachu}} that a main character has ever owned an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
** It is also, by default, the first time a main character has ever captured an Electric Pokémon, as Ash received his Pikachu from Professor Oak.
** Notably, both of these Pokémon are based on a species of {{wp|rodent}}.
* For ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Pachirisu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パチリスが　おめめさめたよ　パッチリス ''Pachirisu ga, omeme sameta yo, pacchiri su'' "Pachirisu woke up, eyes shining bright."
* In the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', it is revealed that Pachirisu is the youngest of Dawn's Pokémon. This remained true until the hatching of {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.
* Pachirisu seems to be almost a parallel to [[May's Skitty]].
** Both were the third Pokémon obtained by their trainer.
** Jessie had her heart set on catching them and using them for contest purposes.
** Both share a similar attitude and habits. These would include chasing their tails, having a lot of energy, and running away from their trainers.
** Both use their Japanese voice actresses in both the Japanese and English versions.
** Both were used once in the [[Wallace Cup]].
* Pachirisu's illness in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' is similar to that of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]''.
* Pachirisu is Dawn's only Pokémon that {{cat|Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|is not part of an evolutionary line}}.

'''Jessie's Seviper''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのハブネーク''' ''Musashi's Habunake'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] during her travels through [[Hoenn]], presumably as a replacement for her recently released {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

==History==
[[Image:Jessie and Seviper.png|Jessie and Seviper|thumb|left|200px]]
Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated [[Ash's Sceptile|Ash's Treecko]] earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "{{m|Fury Swipes}}" and "{{m|Mega Kick}}".

Seviper is, along with {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Jessie's primary [[Pokémon battle|battling]] Pokémon, often seen battling alongside [[James's Cacnea]] in [[Hoenn]] and later [[James's Carnivine]] in [[Sinnoh]]. While shown to be fairly powerful before being caught by Jessie, after it fell into her command, it suffered the inevitable fate that all Team Rocket Pokémon face- defeat by {{Ash}} or another good character. In the episode ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', Jessie and Seviper were determined to win a battle against Seviper's mortal enemy, a {{p|Zangoose}} belonging to the trainer [[Nicholai]].

Seviper has also entered a few {{Pkmn|Contest}}s. In ''Mademoiselle Jessica'''s contest debut, in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Seviper was Jessie's chosen Pokémon to enter the contest, but miserably failed to pass the Appeal Round, as Jessie didn't prepare herself to the contest, and ordered Seviper to use attacks that Seviper can't learn, such as {{m|Blaze Kick}}. She is then seen apologizing to it, meaning she does care about Seviper. In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', ''Jessilina'' used Seviper in the Appeal Round. Not much of the Appeal was seen, because while Seviper was performing it, {{an|Dawn}} was thinking about her {{tP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}'s Appeal, focusing the attention on her, not in Jessie. However, {{si|Kenny}} stated that Seviper was being quite good. The appeal ends with Jessie ordering Seviper to perform {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Bite}} on Jessie herself, and thus, amazing the crowd.

In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', ''Jessilina'' decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to "practice" for the [[Hearthome City]] contest. However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and her idea was to make Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}} and then to make Seviper use {{m|Poison Tail}} on Dustox's {{m|Poison Sting}}, making it spin and added extra-power to it. {{an|Brock}} even said that that was a smart combination. However, that didn't work as [[Zoey's Glameow]] countered with {{m|Iron Tail}}, making the combination going to other side around and then Zoey's {{p|Shellos}} used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of {{m|Poison Sting}} and {{m|Poison Tail}}. Seviper and Dustox both were then easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow.
In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' Seviper and Dustox were used in the Battle Round of the [[Hearthome City]] contest and lost against [[Nando]]. Not much of the battle was seen. In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'' it was also used in the battle round of a Contest and it was quite successful until it lost to {{an|Dawn}}.

[[File:Jessalina Seviper.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina and Seviper]]
Since Jessie has caught {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Seviper wasn't seen in as many battles as before. It was also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in {{m|Haze}}, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon under the shrouded premises.

In ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee it's Dawn!]]'' and ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore]]'', Jessie used Seviper for the [[Daybreak Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. In the appeals round, it made an entrance by coming out of its [[Poké Ball]], which was placed inside [[James's Carnivine]]'s mouth. In the next episode, it battled alongside Yanmega.

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Jessie used it this time for the [[Neighborly Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, where it was used for the appeals round, aiding her win her fourth [[ribbon]]. In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', Jessie used again for the [[Arrowroot Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} in the battle round, where it fought [[Princess Salvia]] (disguised as Dawn) and her [[Dawn's Togekiss|Togekiss]]. After a fierce battle it lost, but Salvia gave her the ribbon for the performance she gave during their battle, allowing her to enter in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

In the Grand Festival, Jessie used Seviper multiple times, including the Appeals Round, a battle with {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} as well as a battle alongside{{TP|James| Carnivine}}. However, Jessie lost her final battle to {{an|Dawn}}.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Seviper at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native to the [[Unova]] region and thus would attract unwanted attention to the trio.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[DP023|Faced with Steelix Determination!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Jessie's Seviper. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: あかいキバ　わわるとアブネー　ハブネーク ''The red fangs, it's dangerous to touch them; Habunake''.
*In Jessie's first encounter with Seviper, she was taller than Seviper. However, in recent episodes, Seviper is much taller than her. This could be an error on the animator's part, or could just simply mean it has grown during its time under Jessie's ownership.
** It should be noted that in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' Seviper was its original size when it was in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''.
*Seviper also makes a second, low sound which sounds like purring. It usually does this when searching or surprised.
*Like its trainer, Seviper is "bossy", as shown in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'' when James insulted it and it hissed at him, in which James got scared and bowed to Seviper instead. It also hissed at {{MTR}} when he called it a big overgrown Caterpie and slapped him with its tail.
*In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', its Japanese voice could be heard during the brawls with {{p|Zangoose}}.
*Aside from [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{MTR}}, and her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, Seviper has been a part of a main character's [[party]] for longer than any other Pokémon, having been Jessie's main battler throughout all of {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and all of {{series2|Diamond & Pearl}}.
*Seviper is one of only two Pokémon in the anime (the other being [[Ash's Kingler]]) that was caught while battling a human, somehow, Jessie managed to defeat Seviper.
*In the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub, some of the noises made by Satō are retained along with Sinterniklaas's voice. When {{PUSA}} took over the dub, they stopped retaining Satō's voice.
