From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
James's Carnivine (Japanese: コジロウのマスキッパ Kojiro's Muskippa) was the first Pokémon that James obtained in the Sinnoh region. Its Japanese voice actor is 阪口大助 Daisuke Sakaguchi, and its English voice actor is Billy Beach.
James originally caught Carnivine long before its first appearance in Two Degrees of Separation. In this episode, Team Rocket went to James's parents' vacation home in Sinnoh and James found Carnivine's Poké Ball among a collection of bottlecaps. He then decided to bring Carnivine with him.
Carnivine continues the series' running gag of James's Template:Type2 Pokémon showing affection for him by hurting him whenever they are released from their balls. This affection is probably due to the fact that James and Carnivine shared a close bond when James was a child.
Since James found it, Carnivine has taken Cacnea's place as his main battling Pokémon. It seems to be a strong battler, even defeating a Rhydon for Jessie in a contest.
