Nebby (Japanese: ほしぐもち Hoshigumo) is a recurring wild Pokémon in the anime's Sun & Moon series. It is a Legendary Pokémon believed to be an Ultra Beast.

History

Nebby as a Cosmog

Nebby debuted as a Cosmog in SM044. It first appeared in Ash's dream, in which it was created by Solgaleo and Lunala at the Altar of the Sunne. It was taken to Melemele Island by the guardian deities of Alola, where Tapu Koko led Ash to where it was sleeping. Taking it to the Pokémon School, Ash and his classmates found that the unusual Pokémon emitted a high-pitched scream whenever it cried. Eventually calming it down, Ash decided to take care of Cosmog, which Lillie nicknamed Nebby. When Ash brought it home with Lillie, he met Professor Burnet, Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba, who revealed that Nebby could be an Ultra Beast. Lusamine later offered to take Nebby with her to Aether Paradise, but Ash declined because of his promise to take care of Nebby. Lusamine gave in and entrusted Nebby's safety with Ash.

In SM050, it was lured out of Ash's bag by Faba, who convinced it to teleport him back to Aether Foundation's sealed lab. After arriving, Faba captured it in a device designed to keep it from teleporting. Faba intended to use Nebby's power to open an Ultra Wormhole, but he was stopped by Ash's Pikachu and Gladion's Umbreon. However, after being released, Nebby evolved into Cosmoem, and the residual energy from the evolution caused a Wormhole to appear anyway.

In SM052, after being brought to the Altar of the Sunne by Ash in the previous episode, Ash gave it to the Tapu, asking for their help. After being blessed by Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini, the four deities sung at the Altar, opening the mechanism within and causing Nebby to evolve into Solgaleo, much to the surprise of everyone present. After greeting the others warmly, Nebby accepted Ash, Lillie, and Gladion's plea to help Lusamine, giving Ash a Solganium Z. After having his Z-Ring upgraded to a Z-Power Ring by the Tapu, Ash and the others climbed on Nebby's back, and using the power of the Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash, created an Ultra Wormhole to travel to the place Lusamine awaited them.

In the following episode, Nebby, with Ash and the others, arrived in the Ultra Deep Sea. It traveled through with the group through the new world, mainly only attacking when it was needed. For example, when Lusamine, fused with Nihilego, summoned a stone wall to block the group, Nebby broke through with Sunsteel Strike. As members of the group started staying behind to fight Lusamine's Pokémon, Nebby remained with Ash. In the next episode, it and Ash had cornered Lusamine, who then flooded their island with a poisonous liquid. Due to Nebby's Steel-type giving it immunity to poison, it protected Ash from the liquid, and then carried him across it, dodging Lusamine's attacks along the way. After that, it went back with Ash's Lycanroc to help the others fight off Lusamine's Pokémon, who continued to heal themselves due to the Nihilego's energy. Everyone later succeeded after Lusamine was freed from Nihilego's control by Ash. Nebby then carried the group, now joined by the revived Lusamine, back to the Altar of the Sunne. After the conclusion of the episode, it parted from the group.

In SM055, Nebby appeared above the site of Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's wedding. The class thanked it for its help in Ultra Space, to which it smiled back at them.

Personality and characteristics

Nebby as a Cosmoem

In the original Japanese version of the anime, Nebby's official nickname is simply ほしぐも Hoshigumo as opposed to Hoshigumo-chan. The -chan honorific is still used occasionally. In SM045, Team Rocket caught sight of the unidentified Pokémon while Ash was buying donuts from their food truck. James surmised that the unknown Pokémon was the pre-evolved form of Koffing, and named it プチドガース PuchiDogars. This lead to confusion when the trio saw Cosmoem in SM052, causing James to assume that there was an intermediary phase it evolves into in Alola, which he dubbed カタドガース KataDogars, but this was ultimately debunked when they witnessed "KataDogars" evolve into the Legendary Solgaleo.

As a Cosmog, Nebby shared many traits with human babies. It slept and cried a lot, but was easy to amuse and was naturally curious. Its cries were quite powerful, and they caused nearby people and Pokémon to cover their ears. In SM047, its cries were so powerful, it sent Pikachu flying back into a tree. Nebby was a very fussy eater and appears to have a preference for the Japanese star-shaped candy konpeitō. It was also ticklish and enjoys playing hide-and-seek, as shown respectively in SM044 and SM048.

In SM045, it was shown that Nebby tends to teleport people to places they are thinking or talking about. Rotom surmises this is because it knew little about the world around it, so it had to depend on telepathy and other people to develop its abilities. By the end of the episode, it had become attached enough to Ash, to the point where it would willingly teleport to him on its own whenever they are separated.

After evolving into Cosmoem, Nebby hardly spoke, moved, or emoted, reflective of its coccoon-like state. However, after evolving into Solgaleo, it appears to have grown into a more mature version of itself physically and mentally, letting Lillie hug it, happily accepting konpeitō from Ash, and licking him affectionately. As a Solgaleo, Nebby can create Ultra Wormholes at will with the help of a Trainer with a Z-Power Ring, a Solganium Z, and its Z-Move, Searing Sunraze Smash.
