[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Plusle (Japanese: プラスル Prasle) is an Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Plusle and Minun bear a remarkable resemblance to Pichu and Pikachu. Plusle have short tails with flat plus signs on the end of them, while their cheeks are circular with plus signs voided in the middle.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Plusle creates electrical pom-poms and sparks to cheer on its partners.

Plusle's abilities in battle are basically the same as its cousin Pikachu except that Plusle has more Special Attack power than Pikachu (without a Light Ball) and is slightly faster. However, Plusle is unable to use Volt Tackle and Slam. On the other hand, Plusle learns more support moves than Pikachu, such as Baton Pass, Fake Tears, and Copycat.

Behavior

Plusle is a cheerful and supportive Pokémon, always encouraging comrades in battle by using the spark pouches in its cheeks. It is very compassionate towards its friends, and is known to cry upon witnessing a friend lose a battle. They are commonly referred to as cheerleaders for these actions.

Diet

In the anime

Plusle, along with its counterpart, Minun, and Ash's Pikachu

Plusle first appeared alongside Minun in A Different Kind of Misty. Both Pokémon were owned by Thatcher, who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Plusle and Minun appear again in Cheer Pressure, where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

Elijah used Plusle and Minun as actors in Lights, Camerupt, Action. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess Kirlia from an evil Exploud.

Plusle and Minun also appear as supporting characters in the film Destiny Deoxys, serving as the story's comic relief. The pair helps Tory Lund to overcome his fear of Pokémon.

Solana's Plusle also appears with her each time she herself makes an appearance, except Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One and Two. It is the only one so far not to be seen with a Minun partner.

Trivia

  • Oddly, Plusle can learn Fake Tears at both Level 21 and 31, but its partner Minun can only learn it once, at level 31.
  • Plusle shares the same species name with its partner Minun. They are both known as Cheering Pokémon.
  • Despite being based on a rodent-like creature, it is unable to breed with Pokémon from the Ground Egg Group (common to mammals); it is exclusive to the Fairy Egg Group.
  • Pachirisu, Plusle, and Minun are the only non-Legendary Electric-type Pokémon with no evolutions or Form changes.
  • Plusle is considered by many fans to be a novelty Pokémon due to the fact its inclusion in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire appeared to be simply to showcase the double battle system which was introduced in Generation III.
  • Plusle's ability is useless in single battles, and is only useful in double battles if Plusle is partnered with Minun.

Origin

It seems to be based on a mouse or rabbit.

Name origin

Plusle's name is based on plus, as in something with a positive electrical charge. It also appears to have pulse in its name.

In other languages

  • German: Plusle
  • French: Posipi - Comes from positive and possibly pikapika, the Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkling.
  • Korean: 플러시 Plusie
