Voice actor Japanese English As Ampharos ???

Amphy (Japanese: アカリ Akari) is an Ampharos that illuminates the Glitter Lighthouse in Olivine City. Its Trainer is apparently Jasmine; however, it does not appear to be an active member of her party. It has also made appearances in the anime and manga series.

In the games

Amphy is at the top of Olivine's Glitter Lighthouse. However, it is sick when the player first arrives in Olivine City in the Generation II and IV games. After climbing the Lighthouse, Jasmine asks the player to travel across the sea to Cianwood City, to get the SecretPotion that will cure Amphy. After Amphy is cured, Jasmine may be battled in the Olivine Gym.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Trainers' walking Pokémon often react to Amphy's condition. While all Pokémon may greet Amphy or want to play with Amphy, any other Ampharos brought to the Lighthouse will "sparkle in concert" with it. Male Ampharos may occasionally act interested in Amphy.

In the anime

History

In the anime dub, Amphy was called Sparkle. It became sick shortly before Ash challenged Jasmine for the Mineral Badge in Fight for the Light!. He, his friends and Janina traveled to Cianwood City to buy the medicine for Amphy—like in the games, Jasmine would not take challengers until Amphy was healed. While Janina went back to Olivine City, Ash and his friends traveled through the Whirl Islands.

On the way back to Olivine in Throwing in the Noctowl, the plane flown by Wings Alexander that was carrying Ash and the others in was blown off course. Thanks to Amphy's flashes of light, Wings was able to get back on course and safely land his plane.

Amphy made a brief cameo in An Egg Scramble! during Lyra's introduction to Johto.

Amphy in Pokémon Adventures

Amphy appears in Pokémon Adventures, where it is owned by Jasmine. It helped Jasmine by sending a distress signal when Jasmine was trapped in the Tin Tower during an Earthquake caused by Team Rocket. Gold and Silver saw this signal and tried to save the two, but only succeeded in getting Jasmine out of the ground floor on Amphy's back before becoming trapped themselves. Jasmine later awakens, accompanied by some doctors at a refuge camp. Jasmine still recalled the two boys who risked their lives to rescue her, but was almost led to believe it had been her imagination.

Later, in the Gym Leaders' tournament at the Pokémon League, Amphy fights Brock's Kabutops, but is easily beat around by the swift Pokémon, and almost faints.

It is also notable that in the Chuang Yi translation of the manga, Amphy is called "Akari."
