Ash's Tranquill (Japanese: サトシのハトーボー Satoshi's Hatoboh) is the first Pokémon that Ash Ketchum caught in the Unova region.
History
As he has done in every other region he has traveled, Ash usually catches a Template:Type2 Pokémon early in his journey. Pidove was caught soon after Ash's arrival in Unova. In Enter Iris and Axew!, shortly after a flock of Pidove had escaped when Ash had failed to capture one of them, he noticed her pecking at the ground, and engaged her in a battle. She managed to put up a good fight against Ash's Pikachu, until the Electric Mouse Pokémon finally used Thunderbolt, and caused her to faint. Ash threw a Poké Ball and successfully caught her. Later on, for the first time, Pidove was sent out in an effort to save Pikachu and Iris's Axew from Team Rocket's capture. However, as she was still weak from her last battle, she was quickly defeated by Jessie's Woobat. She was later healed at the Pokémon Center.
Tranquill is occasionally used by Ash to find and track certain Pokémon. She helped Ash find two Darumaka in Saving Darmanitan From the Bell! and a wild Snivy in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!, playing a dominant role in the Grass Pokémon's capture. At that time, Pidove had followed Snivy throughout from the time she escaped using Leaf Storm. As she witnessed all of Ash's other Pokémon (Oshawott, Tepig and Pikachu) fall to the Grass Snake Pokémon's Attract, she volunteers to battle Snivy. When Snivy attempted to use Attract on Pidove, Pidove was unaffected as she was female (a fact of which Ash had been completely unaware of, despite Iris and Cilan's assumptions that it was his strategy). After a hard-fought battle, Pidove weakened Snivy just enough for her to be captured by Ash.
In A Rival Battle for Club Champ! she was used by Ash in a 5-on-5 battle against Trip's Frillish. She tried her best but was taken by surprise by his Water Pulse, and got knocked out in the process.
In Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!, Ash sent Pidove to Professor Juniper, so that he could add his newly caught Sewaddle to his team and he has rotated them on several occasions.
In A Venipede Stampede!, Ash used her to help clear out the Venipede that took over Castelia City. Although things started well, she was almost hit by a Sludge Bomb and was only just saved by an Air Cutter from Trip's Tranquill. She then helped remove a few more and then suddenly evolved into Tranquill. As a result of her new stronger form, Tranquill was able to clear out the last Venipede with a powerful Gust alongside help from Trip's Tranquill.
In BW039, Tranquill was used to help a newly revived female Archen learn how to fly. After she evolved into Archeops, Tranquill defened her from Team Rocket and they said their goodbyes, up in the air, once Archeops found some others.

A Japanese event randomly distributed an egg that contained an in-game representation of Ash's Pidove, Iris's Axew, or Cilan's Pansage via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Like the anime counterpart, the Pidove is always female, and knows Gust, Quick Attack, and Air Cutter. This event started on December 17th, 2010, and ended on January 11, 2011. This egg was also distributed at participating American Toys 'R' Us locations from April 27 to May 31, 2011.
