Casey's Meganium (Japanese: ナナコのメガニウム Nanako's Meganium) is Casey's first Pokémon. She obtained it as a Chikorita the day before Ash, Misty, and Brock arrived at Professor Elm's lab.
History
Original series
Casey first appeared with her Chikorita in The Double Trouble Header. It had just helped her to catch a Rattata when she met Ash and his friends. She challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. Ash defeated all three of her Pokémon including Chikorita with his Charizard. Later, Casey used Chikorita again to battle Ash's Pikachu and, thanks to the type advantage, Chikorita was able to resist Electric-type attacks. The battle ended without result because Team Rocket attacked both Trainers during the match and captured all the Pokémon. In the end, Chikorita joined Pidgey, Rattata and Ash's Pokémon to defeat Team Rocket for good.
It reappeared in a flashback in The Chikorita Rescue.
Casey and her Chikorita were next seen in The Bug Stops Here. She and Ash were competing in the Bug-Catching Contest, despite having one disadvantage in the competition, Chikorita went to the limit to help her Trainer to win. When Casey realized what she was doing, Chikorita showed how Casey was important to her.
When they were attacked by Team Rocket, Casey used her Chikorita again, and during the battle, it evolved into Bayleef and sent Team Rocket blasting off. Despite everything, Casey and Bayleef were unable to win the competition.
When Ash and his friends met up with Casey again in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!, her Bayleef was now fully evolved into a Meganium. During the search for Ash's Larvitar, Meganium was one of the Pokémon affected by the power of James' newly acquired Weepinbell. Casey uses Meganium to defeat Jessie's Arbok, but despite his efforts it was no match for Jessie's Pokémon.
Later, Casey used Meganium in a battle against a wild Elekid. Although Elekid was quite powerful, it was no match for the power of Meganium, who easily win the battle. This allowed Casey to capture a new Pokémon.
Advanced Generation series
Meganium reappeared in A Date with Delcatty, where it appeared all the time on Casey's side while trying to find out about a mysterious note that Misty received. Later, Meganium was used alongside Misty's Corsola in a Tag Battle against Butch's Mightyena and Cassidy's Sableye. Meganium and Corsola proved very powerful and easily beat their opponents, Meganium ending with a Solar Beam.
In Those Darn Electabuzz!, Meganium joines Casey's Beedrill and his Elekid to stop the runaway Charizard from advancing. Despite their strength, the trio couldn't keep the Fire-type Pokémon from advancing. Meganium later appeared with the other Pokémon to cheer and help train the Pokémon of their Trainer's idol.
Personality and characteristics
Meganium shares a close bond with Casey, often being seen outside of its Poké Ball. It appears to share Casey's fighting spirit and enjoys her renditions of the Electabuzz fight song. Meganium is also a fierce battler, evolving into a Bayleef so that it could help Casey during the Bug-Catching Contest.
