As revealed in the episode It Wasn't Always Like This..., Snivy once had a mother, Serperior, who took care of her with great love and care. All had gone very well, with little argument, until the arrival of a great earthquake that devastated the home; Serperior was unable to escape and thus perished in the disaster. This left Snivy extremely heartbroken and devastated, and led to her starting her life as an orphaned Pokémon. During this time, she became very nomadic, going places to gather her resources. One day, while she was trying to get some Oran Berries, she stumbled on a massive cavern containing a pot of gold. Astonished, Snivy began to search for more and more treasure, in the riskiest of places - this was the beginning of her indomitable love for exploration and her determination to join the highly renowned Expedition Society. Later on, a Pokémon named Carracosta had found her and took her in as his adoptive daughter, and later signed her up to the local school in Serene Village, where she is regularly the troublemaker there.
One day, while Nuzleaf first signed up and enrolled Riolu to school, the latter and Snivy first met after getting headbutted and knocked unconscious, although Snivy did apologize later.

The afterlife in the Pokémonworld refers to the various states, realms, and phenomena associated with the existence of souls after physical death. While the franchise does not present a single unified doctrine, multiple games, anime episodes, manga chapters, and Pokédex entries depict spirits, reincarnation, resurrection, and supernatural realms connected to death. Collectively, these portrayals imply that both humans and Pokémon continue to exist in some form after death. Bratty Bottom (talk) 21:31, 20 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Overview
Across the Pokémon franchise, death is portrayed not as an end but as a transition. Numerous characters—both human and Pokémon—appear as ghosts, return temporarily from the afterlife, or are reborn as Ghost-type Pokémon. Several species are described as interacting with souls, guiding them, or feeding on spiritual energy. These depictions collectively establish that the Pokémon world contains a functioning metaphysical system involving spirits and post-mortem existence.
Lingering spirits
Many deceased humans and Pokemon remain in the world as ghosts. These spirits typically retain their memories, personalities, and emotional attachments.
Examples include:
Human ghosts encountered in various games (e.g. the ghost in Pokemon Tower)
