Cilan's Pansage (Japanese: デントのヤナップ Dent's Yanappu) is the first Pokémon Cilan was known to have and is considered his "premium brand Pokémon". He first appeared in Triple Leaders, Team Threats!.
History
Cilan and Pansage in the official artwork
Pansage is Cilan's first known Pokémon; he made his first appearance in Triple Leaders, Team Threats! where he showed it to Ash who scanned him on his Pokédex before battling.
Pansage was the third and final Pokémon Ash faced in his Striaton City Gym battle, where he went up against Ash's Oshawott. However, Pansage dodged all of his attacks with ease and hit Oshawott quite hard with Bullet Seed and Bite attacks. After Oshawott finally hit a midair Pansage with Water Gun, Pansage started charging SolarBeam, which petrified Oshawott with fear. He appeared again in Dreams by the Yard Full! where Oshawott deflected the Solarbeam and Pansage was soon defeated by Oshawott, earning Ash his first badge in the Unova region. At the end of the episode, Cilan takes Pansage with him while he travels with Ash and Iris.
In The Bloom Is on Axew!, Cilan used Pansage in a battle against Iris's Axew to help Axew gain some battle experience. Even though Pansage significantly lowered his own attack power (twenty percent lower, according to Cilan), Axew was thrown off by his attacks. The battle ended when Axew used Dragon Rage, but he accidentaly misfired it, which caused a massive explosion that took Pansage, as well as everyone else, by surprise.
In A Home for Dwebble!, Pansage was used to help track down a group of Dwebble by using Dig. He was accidentally injured by the one Dwebble that it was trying to help. He was hit in the head by a small rock. Dwebble apologized and a friendship was formed between the two Pokémon. He later fell ill because of the injury and was given an herbal remedy made by Iris. In the morning, after Pansage recovered, he assisted Dwebble in getting its rock back. Pansage was very happy when Dwebble decided to travel with Cilan and himself, so that their friendship could continue.
Pansage battled against Burgundy, another Pokémon Connoisseur in A Connoisseur's Revenge!. Cilan chose him to battle her Sawsbuck, which it defeated after confusing it with Dig and hitting it with strong Bullet Seed and SolarBeam attacks, not taking a single hit in the process, showing that Pansage was a better battler than Ash and Iris originally thought.
In "Emolga and the New Volt Switch", Pansage was called out of his pokéball after Iris's Emolga used Volt Switch. Since he was sleeping and was "woken up" with one of Bianca's Minccino's Hyper Voices, he became angered and knocked him out with his powerful Solarbeam.
Pansage's abilities as a swimmer were shown in BW037. Cilan used him in a fishing competition to battle a wild Basculin both in and out of the water. He was able to subdue it with SolarBeam and Cilan was able to capture it. However, it was later released. Later, Pansage was used to help stop Team Rocket from stealing the Pokémon that were captured by the fishing competition contestants.
In BW038, Pansage appeared in Luke's movie alongside Cilan, who was the main villian. Pansage played the role of Cilan's assistant.
Personality
Much like his Trainer, Pansage is kind and cheerful to others. He is patient and gentle when battling the severely disadvantaged Axew in The Bloom Is on Axew! as well as on the wild Venipede in A Venipede Stampede!. He had no problem with adjusting his own attack power on these Pokémon. He is also shown to be very forgiving in A Home For Dwebble! as he held no grudge against Dwebble despite being injured by it and eventually made ill. However, he can also be very competitive as seen in A Connoisseur's Revenge! when he battles against Burgundy's Sawsbuck, as well as quick tempered as seen in Emolga and the New Volt Switch! when he is suddenly attacked while taking a nap and knocks out Minccino without being given orders.
