Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a dual-type Psychic/Grass Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It serves as the guardian of Ilex Forest.

Celebi was officially revealed in the July 2000 issue of CoroCoro.[1]

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the Johto Pokédex and Hoenn Pokédex in Generation III, although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.

Biology

Celebi sensing a temporal anomaly (from Celebi's perspective)

Celebi is a green, fairy-like Pokémon. It has round toeless feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. It has a round head that comes to a curved point. It has large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae with blue tips.

Often found in forests, Celebi is a Mythical Pokémon, known in legend as the "Voice of the Forest." It is able to travel through time and exist simultaneously throughout time, and plant life flourishes wherever it has been. As seen in Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, said plant life is able to heal Celebi when it is dying and restore the flora around it to perfect health. Celebi also has the ability to heal wounds, and can release a telekinetic energy wave to defend itself. It was shown in Pokémon Colosseum that Celebi has the power to instantly cause the Purification of any Shadow Pokémon and can be summoned at Relic Forest with the melody of a Time Flute.

Despite living in forests as its guardian, Celebi only shows itself in areas and times of peace. It has been regarded that as long as Celebi are seen throughout the world, a prosperous and bright future is still in store for the Pokémon world. As depicted in A Timeless Encounter!, Celebi can sense if something is a temporal anomaly in the current timeline and will bring them back to their original timeline. Celebi has been referred to as a forest deity.

Major appearances

Celebi (M04)

Celebi debuted in Celebi: The Voice of the Forest. In the beginning, a Pokémon poacher was after a it, and it traveled 40 years into the future to escape from him, taking Sam along with it by accident. The Iron-Masked Marauder eventually caught the Time Travel Pokémon in a Dark Ball and used it to destroy the forest. However, Ash and Sam managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron-Masked Marauder's spell.

Celebi (M13)

In Zoroark: Master of Illusions, Grings Kodai was after Celebi's Time Ripple in order to restore his ability to see the future, which he got on a previous encounter with it. It befriended Zorua and helped save Zoroark after she was mortally injured by Kodai.

Celebi (recurring)

In A Timeless Encounter!, a Celebi was disturbed by the battle between Ash's Lycanroc and Torracat. In response, it accidentally caused Ash and Torracat to travel back to the past. Later, Celebi transported them back to the present, which was seen again in Pikachu's Exciting Adventure! from the perspective of Ash's other Pokémon.

Celebi made its debut in The Last Battle IX. The Masked Man aimed to catch it and use its time-traveling powers to reunite one of his Pokémon with its deceased parents. Although the Masked Man managed to catch Celebi, the GS Ball holding it was destroyed by Gold, freeing it from the villain's control.

In It All Ends Now VIII, Celebi was revealed to have chosen Ruby as its new Trainer before he moved from Johto to Hoenn, though Ruby had no idea of how rare of a Pokémon it was. Remaining unseen for almost the entire Ruby & Sapphire arc, it appeared at the end of the arc to destroy the Red and Blue Orbs and revive Steven, Norman, and Courtney, who had died during the conflict involving Groudon and Kyogre, before returning to the wild.

In the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, Celebi agreed to cure Giovanni of his long-time illness in exchange for him helping to prevent the destruction of the Sinjoh Ruins.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:

  • Unlock all 25 characters
  • Unlock all 29 stages
  • Beat all 51 events
  • Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs)

It does not affect the battle, but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Trophy information

"Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a deity by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in unimaginable abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers."

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 493 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops collectible items; in Celebi's case, it drops trophies.

Trophy information

"A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses its Future Sight move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Celebi trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Celebi appears as a trophy in the 3DS version only.

Trophy information

This Pokémon has the unique ability to travel through time to the past or future. However, the only times Celebi wants to visit are those of peace, so catching sight of Celebi in one of the beautiful forests it frequents is a good sign indeed. Perhaps it's mankind's responsibility to create the kind of time Celebi would want to visit.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Celebi appears as a Spirit.

Trivia

Concept and development

Celebi was designed by Hironobu Yoshida.[4][5]

Origin

Celebi has a natural theme.[6] Specifically, it might be related to the natural worship of Shintoism. It also may be based on a fairy, dryad, or kodama, mixed with a plant bulb.

Celebi's beta designs, and to a lesser extent its final design, appear to draw inspiration from Kokopelli, a god of fertility and music from the cultures of some southwestern Native American peoples.

Name origin

Celebi may be a combination of 精霊 seirei (spirit), Ceres (Roman goddess of fertility), celebrate or celestial, serenity, and 美 bi (beauty) or being.
