Ash's Poipole (Japanese: サトシのベベノム Satoshi's Bevenom) is the fourth Pokémon that Ash caught in the Alola region, and his fiftieth overall.
History
As a wild Pokémon
Poipole first appeared towards the end of The Professors' New Adventure!, when it was seen traversing through an Ultra Wormhole. It reappeared in A Mission of Ultra Urgency!, where it emerged from the wormhole on Melemele Island and started roaming around. Soon it came to witness Ash and his classmates battling a Buzzwole during their first Ultra Guardians mission, and became fascinated by the light produced by Pikachu's attacks, excitedly approaching him while the rest of the group had their attention on whether Buzzwole's capture was successful or not.
In SM067, Poipole recalled Pikachu's Thunderbolt after encountering a wild Chinchou, and went looking for him, eventually finding him at the Pokémon School. While Ash and his classmates were focusing on their lesson, Poipole attracted Pikachu's attention and lured him away, wanting to see Pikachu's Electric-type moves again. After Pikachu had shared an apple with it, Poipole started showing its affection towards him with constant nuzzling. Ash's Rowlet, who was looking for Pikachu, mistook this as Pikachu being in trouble and tried to attack Poipole, only for Poipole to panic and spray some of its poison at Rowlet, poisoning it. After Pikachu scolded Poipole, it understood its mistake and offered to help carry Rowlet. While going through Hau'oli City, the two were attacked by Team Rocket, who tried to capture them, but were saved when Ash showed up.
Later, Poipole was brought to the Ultra Guardians base where Lusamine contacted the group and, since Rotom had been unable to recognize it, told them the species name they had chosen to give for Poipole. Lusamine also suggested that Ash should catch Poipole to take care of it until they could figure out the location of the wormhole it had appeared from, which he agreed to. However, Poipole happily evaded all the Beast Balls that Ash tried to throw at it, thinking that Ash was playing with it. Lillie suggested that they'd demonstrate to Poipole what going into and being let out of a Poké Ball would be like, which Ash did by repeatedly recalling and sending out Rowlet. With the demonstration done and Poipole now understanding his intentions, Ash prepared to throw another Beast Ball, only for Poipole to touch the ball and be caught voluntarily, much to everyone's surprise. Later, Poipole was seen playing with Ash and his other Pokémon at Professor Kukui's house, even painting a picture of Pikachu on the wall.
With Ash
Personality and characteristics
Poipole is shown to be quite playful with other Pokémon. In one instance of this in A Mission of Ultra Urgency!, whilst Ash and his classmates were waiting to see if Buzzwole had been captured, Poipole attempted to play with Pikachu before flying off. It has also been shown to have a fascination with light, as shown how it tends to stop to admire Pikachu's Electric-type moves, much like how Ash's Goodra admired Pikachu's strength. In addition, Poipole is known to laugh even when attacked. Poipole took an instant liking to Ash after he helped saved it from Team Rocket. This was also seen when Ash showed it how Poké Balls work. Equally, it also became quick friends with its teammates. Despite being a playful trickster, Poipole never seems to intend any serious harm, as it clearly felt sorry when Pikachu scolded it for poisoning Rowlet, and offered to help carry Rowlet.
Poipole has a habit of spinning on its head when feeling happy. It also likes to express its affection for Pikachu by nuzzling him. Despite Poipole's playfulness, it was shown to be there for its friends in SM075, when it rescued and brought back Rowlet after it flew out of Ash's backpack and into the harsh winds blowing through the Haina Desert.
Being an Ultra Beast, Poipole is quite unfamiliar with Ash and company's world, and is driven by a great sense of curiosity, as seen in SM068, when it began to play with an Alolan Exeggutor's extra head. This act caused the Exeggutor to send Ash rolling out of the Pokémon Center he was in. This same curiosity almost got it in trouble with a Tauros on Kiawe's family's farm.
