Ash's 30 Tauros (Japanese: サトシの３０匹のケンタロス Satoshi's 30 Kentauros) are a group of Pokémon that Ash caught during his travels in the Kanto region. Together, they are the tenth species of Pokémon caught by Ash in the Kanto region, and his eleventh overall.

In the anime

History

Original series

Kanto

Ash spent some time in the Safari Zone in the banned episode EP035. He was attempting to catch as many Pokémon as possible, though all he ended up with were thirty Tauros, since they always ran in front of his Safari Balls whenever he tried to make a catch. At the end of Ash's adventures in the Safari Zone, all thirty Tauros were sent to Professor Oak's Laboratory. This episode has not been aired outside of Japan, Greater China, and South Korea due to the firearms being a plot point. The dub merely mentioned in Showdown at the Po-ké Corral that Ash caught the Tauros in the Safari Zone without the captures ever being depicted.

Orange Islands

Ash's Tauros lifting Drake's Dragonite

Ash began using Tauros when he needed a replacement for Snorlax in his battle for the Winner's Cup of the Orange League in Hello, Pummelo! and Enter The Dragonite. He sent the now-sleeping Snorlax to Professor Oak's for one of his Tauros to see if the "beginner's luck" strategy he had used in the Indigo Plateau Conference with Kingler and Muk would work again. Tauros seemed shocked but very pleased when Ash chose him.

After an initial failure when hit with Gengar's Confuse Ray, Tauros went up against Drake's Venusaur. His Fissure and Take Down attacks caused him to become lodged in the sandy field, and he was helpless when Venusaur, who he had managed to hurl into the air, hit him with Solar Beam. However, this freed Tauros from the sand, and he defeated Venusaur with a powerful Take Down. He later fought Drake's Dragonite, managing to stand firm and catch Dragonite's Body Slam on his horns; Ash remembered the sand's cushioning effect and used it to his advantage this time. Tauros then slammed Dragonite into the ground, but Dragonite recovered and took down Tauros with a Thunder. Thanks to Tauros, Pikachu dealt the final blow and won Ash the tournament.

Tauros was reunited with the herd in A Tent Situation when Ash and his friends returned to Pallet Town.

Johto

Tauros and Ash

In A Farfetch'd Tale, Tauros crowded into Ash's screen with Kingler, Muk, and Snorlax to wish him luck for his next Gym battle with Whitney.

Tauros was used again in early Johto during the Pokémon Swap Meet, in Tricks of the Trade. Ash exchanged Heracross for Tauros so he could compete in a Tauros battling competition. Ash then sprinted into the stadium to challenge Fernando, the undefeated champion with ten straight wins. Ash's Tauros locked horns with Fernando's own Tauros, and managed to overpower his opponent with a Take Down before tossing him into the arena wall, winning Ash the tournament. Ash then received multiple trade offers from other Trainers, though he explained that he wasn't there to trade and sent Tauros back to Professor Oak in The Fire-ing Squad!.

Ash later used a Tauros in the Silver Conference, in The Ties That Bind. He fought Gary's Nidoqueen, managing to push through the rocks thrown by Rock Smash and charge with a Horn Attack. Nidoqueen blocked Tauros by catching his horns and then launched a close range Hyper Beam, easily knocking Tauros out of the match.

Advanced Generation series

In Showdown at the Oak Corral, the Tauros herd made a cameo appearance, telling the other Pokémon about Cassidy and Butch.

On Ash's return from Hoenn in The Right Place and the Right Mime, the Tauros were seen running towards him with his other Pokémon. However, they were so pleased to see him that they got carried away and stampeded off with Ash on their backs, and Ash had to be retrieved by his Bayleef before he could be reunited with his other Pokémon.

Ash used Tauros in his battle against Salon Maiden Anabel in Talking a Good Game!, first against her Alakazam. He went on an offensive charge, but was easily defeated by a combination of Focus Punch and Psybeam.

After training the next day, and being so spooked by a Beedrill's Twineedle that he managed to hurl Ash, Anabel, Pikachu and Corphish flying into a lake, he was used in the rematch in Second Time's the Charm. Tuaros took on Anabel's Metagross, using Horn Attack to throw Metagross into the air. Metagross's Hyper Beam was countered by Double Team, but the beam slashed through all of the duplicates and hit Tauros. He quickly recovered and struck the recharging Metagross hard. His final Take Down was countered by Meteor Mash, taking out both Pokémon.

Ash's Tauros showing their delight at seeing Ash again

Best Wishes series

The Tauros were reunited with Ash in The Dream Continues! after his travels through Unova and the Decolore Islands. They greeted him by trampling him, much to the surprise of Alexa. Later on, they and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

Sun & Moon series

The Tauros reappeared in Alola, Kanto! during Ash and his classmates' visit to Oak's laboratory. Excited to see him again, they ran into Ash and knocked him into the air.

Personality and characteristics

Ash's Tauros stampeding

The Tauros's main characteristic is stampeding. Luckily Professor Oak's Laboratory includes large open plains, making it a perfect place for the Tauros to freely roam around. They have proved useful at the laboratory, stampeding to wake up Ash's Snorlax in times of crisis. However, the stampeding has caused mishaps. The first time Ash returned to Pallet Town in Showdown at the Po-ké Corral, they stampeded through a fence and sent Team Rocket blasting off. Later, they stampeded through the lab, leaving a mess and a large hole in the wall.

Due to the large number of Tauros, it is impossible to determine each and every one's personality. However, the Tauros seem to share a very enthusiastic personality, and a love of exercise. In terms of battling, despite their limited move set, they are all extremely strong, capable of throwing large opponents like Metagross or Venusaur into the air from a standing position, using only their large horns and strong neck muscles. It has been shown multiple times that they get very excited when they see Ash, as they often stampede him when he returns home.

Trivia

Brock caught a Tauros at the same time that Ash caught his first Tauros. Because of this, some believe that Brock actually owned a Tauros, and the writers simply forgot about it in subsequent episodes. However, Brock caught him using one of Ash's Safari Balls, and therefore, it is counted as one of the thirty belonging to Ash.
Despite the Tauros all being captured in green Safari Balls, they all have regular Poké Balls when Ash calls them into battle.
It has never been revealed whether Ash uses the same Tauros whenever one of them is transferred to him or if Professor Oak simply sends him a random one each time.
Ash's Tauros are the only Pokémon belonging to a main character to have been caught in a banned episode.
Ash was offered a Rhyhorn in exchange for his Tauros after winning the Tauros battling competition. Ash had tried to capture a Rhyhorn in the Safari Zone, but a Tauros ran past and was captured instead. Despite this, Ash chooses to keep his Tauros.
Tauros is Ash's only Pokémon to have used a one-hit knockout move.
The Tauros are Ash's only gender-specific Pokémon.
The Tauros are the only Pokémon Ash has caught more than one of.
The Tauros are the only Pokémon that Ash has owned for more than one episode which were never used in battle during the journey they were obtained in.
In Pokémon Yellow, which is based on the anime series, Tauros's encounter rate at the Safari Zone is 10%, whereas in Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen, its encounter rate is only 1% or 4%, depending on the area. Making Tauros more common in the anime-based game may be a reference to Ash's Tauros.
