Jessie's Pumpkaboo (Japanese: ムサシのバケッチャ Musashi's Bakeccha) is the first Pokémon that Jessie captured in the Kalos region.
History
Pumpkaboo made its first appearance in The Bamboozling Forest!. While walking through a forest, Jessie tripped over Pumpkaboo as it was emerging from underground. While it kept shining its light repeatedly, Jessie threw a Poké Ball at it, successfully catching Pumpkaboo, much to James's surprise. Later, it was used to battle Ash and his friends to prevent them from rescuing a Pangoro and Pancham that Team Rocket had captured. Using its Leech Seed, Pumpkaboo was able to prevent its opponents' Pokémon from moving. It was defeated after Ash gave Pangoro a leaf, allowing it to regain its confidence and easily send Team Rocket blasting off.
Since being caught Pumpkaboo has become Jessie's main battler in Kalos, replacing Wobbuffet. As is traditional for Pokémon owned by Team Rocket, Pumpkaboo has lost nearly every battle it has participated in.
Pumpkaboo appeared in The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!, using its flashlight ability to light up a cave for Jessie. They quickly ran into a wild Salamence, and Pumpkaboo and Jessie played dead in order to confuse it. While the Salamence tried to figure out what happened, Jessie put a device on its head. This caused Salamence to go into a rampage, sending Team Rocket blasting off. Pumpkaboo was later seen at the Pokémon Center, being healed of its injuries from Salamence.
Personality and characteristics
Little is currently known about Pumpkaboo's personality. It is shown to get excited and proud of itself when doing well in battle, seen in Forging Forest Friendships! when Ash's Hawlucha missed with Flying Press due to Pumpkaboo being a Ghost-type. It is also shown to have a tendency to flash its lights repeatedly. Pumpkaboo has no problem listening to its new Trainer.
