Ash's Aipom (Japanese: サトシのエイパム Satoshi's Eipam) is the only Pokémon to be captured by Ash Ketchum in Pokémon: Battle Frontier; it was captured on the Indigo Plateau. She is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō.

Aipom was first seen in Slaking Kong, worshipping a giant, mechanical Slaking. However, it also stole Ash's hat, much like another monkey Pokémon. Aipom soon reappeared in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In Channeling the Battle Zone, Ash finally captured it.

In Aipom and Circumstance, Aipom became jealous of Ash's Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headwear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on its head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of Aipom and Circumstance; while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers, May said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね?」 Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?. However, this may be disputed as Aipom is referred to in the English dub of the same episode as potentially becoming King, not Queen. In DP039, Aipom is seen wearing a dress along with Dawn's Buneary and Brock's Happiny, both of which have also been theorized (and in the case of Happiny, by her species, confirmed) to be female, furthering the theory that Aipom is as well.

Aipom enjoys participating in Pokémon Contests. Its interest was first perked in Thinning the Hoard where it took an interest in May's battle with Harley. Aipom also watched her battle with Drew before enticing Ash into catching it. In Mounting a Coordinator Assault, Aipom was entered into its first contest with Ash. They got through the Appeal Round but lost the first battle round to Zoey and her Glameow. In DP022, Aipom entered an unofficial contest under the command of Jessie and won against Dawn's Pachirisu. Zoey suggested that Ash give Aipom to Dawn but so far this has not happened.

Aipom, when out of the Poké Ball, usually sits on Ash's left shoulder, in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.

In order to bring back Torkoal to battle Brandon's Registeel, Ash sent Aipom to Professor Oak, where Aipom had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to the new environment and lack of Ash. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.

When Ash left for Sinnoh, leaving all his Pokémon but Pikachu behind as he did when leaving for Hoenn, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey.

During its journey through Sinnoh, Aipom has defeated Paul's Chimchar in battle and helped Ash capture his Starly. Ash also used it in both of his gym battles.

Aipom put up a fight against Roark's Cranidos in Ash's first match, however, it lost. In their rematch it fought Geodude. It also fought in Ash's second Gym Battle as well, going against Gardenia's Roserade, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his Forest Badge.

Trivia

  • For DP014, Professor Oak's lecture is about Ash's Aipom. He writes this Pokémon senryū about it: エイパムが しっぽでつかむ サトシのハート Eipam, it seizes with its tail, Satoshi's heart.
  • Aipom's habit of taking Ash's hat mimics the actions of Ash's Primeape, who coincidentally was also a primate.
