Zoey's Glameow: Difference between revisions

==History==

Glameow was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', when it approached {{an|Dawn}} with her missing choker around its tail. It wasn't until the next episode, however, that it showed just how strong it really is.

In the semifinal round, Glameow was matched against [[Dawn's Buneary]]. Their battle began with Buneary using {{m|Ice Beam}}, which was grabbed by Glameow's Shadow Claw and used to create a stunning contrast that cost Dawn a few points. After that, Buneary used {{m|Bounce}} and Glameow decided to jump too, using its tail to leap higher than her and surprise her with Fury Swipes. It then used Iron Tail, but Buneary managed to stop the attack using her ears. Seeing this, Zoey ordered Glameow to spin its tail, making Buneary spin and sending her flying. Buneary fought back with Ice Beam, which Glameow managed to dodge. However, the {{type|Ice}} move froze the stage, making Glameow slip up and allowing Buneary to attack it with {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and Bounce. When Glameow was about to be hit by another Dizzy Punch, it used Shadow Claw to break the ice covering the stage, sending shards towards Buneary before using Iron Tail to make her hit the ground. Time ran out after that and Glameow won the battle on points, granting Zoey a place in the finals.

In the Contest finals, Glameow battled [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Although it was shown being squeezed by Carnivine's {{m|Bind}}, it managed to free itself and escape from a {{m|Bite}} attack with a Shadow Claw. After that it displayed its incredible {{stat|speed}} by using Fury Swipes, scratching Carnivine's face in quick succession and making the move look like multiple flashes of white light. It then dodged {{m|Bullet Seed}} and used Iron Tail to reduce Jessilina's points to zero, winning the match and giving Zoey the prestigious {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Ribbon]], her second Contest Ribbon overall.

In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Glameow was used in a practice Contest Battle against [[Dawn's Buizel]]. Thanks to its Contest experience, it was able to use all of Buizel's moves to favor itself. It started by using Iron Tail to dissipate Buizel's Water Gun into glittering droplets. It then used Shadow Claw to defend itself from Buizel's Aqua Jet. However, contrasting the last time the two Pokémon clashed using these moves, Glameow emerged unharmed and looking appealing. The battle was called off after that as Zoey noticed that Buizel was paying more attention to {{Ash}}'s [[Gym]] {{pkmn|training}} than to Dawn's Contest preparation.

In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', Glameow was called out to battle [[May's Beautifly]] in the semifinals of the [[Wallace Cup]]. Even though it started the battle being hit by Beautifly's strong {{m|Silver Wind}}, Glameow managed to reduce May's points by using its spring-shaped tail to jump. It then evaded a {{m|Psychic}} attack and used Shadow Claw, which Beautifly gracefully dodged. However, the real objective of the {{type|Ghost}} move was to hit the pool and raise a curtain of water, taking advantage of the water battlefield. Following this, Glameow used the water surrounding Beautifly to conduct its Shock Wave and hit the Butterfly Pokémon hard. It proceeded with Iron Tail, but Beautifly used Silver Wind towards the pool and another curtain of water was raised, leading Glameow to be caught off guard and surprised with Psychic. Afterwards, Beautifly healed itself with a beautiful {{m|Morning Sun}} and used a speedy {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Glameow responded this with a Shadow Claw and the two Pokémon collided center stage just as the time ran out. Glameow lost the battle on points, eliminating Zoey from the competition.

In ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', Zoey told Dawn and her friends how she first met Glameow. She was on her way to school one cold morning when she found it in a cardboard box in an alley. She couldn't leave it that way so she took it home, but her parents said she couldn't have a Pokémon until she was a Trainer. They told her to take it to the [[Pokémon Center]], but Zoey decided to secretly raise Glameow in a shed at her school and promised she would make it her partner when she became a Trainer. [[Mr. Honcho]], the head teacher at the [[Snowpoint Trainers' School]], found out what she was doing, but she refused to give it up. At that moment, [[Candice]] appeared and helped Zoey. Mr. Honcho eventually gave in but was on condition that both Zoey and Candice would be raising Glameow. The two raised Glameow together until Zoey became a Pokémon Trainer, at which point Glameow joined Zoey on her {{pkmn|journey}} as her [[starter Pokémon]].

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Glameow was seen battling {{OBP|Rebecca|DP155}}'s {{p|Shuckle}} in the final stage of the [[Brussel Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. Although Glameow was unable to break through Shuckle's {{m|Withdraw}} with its Fury Swipes attack, it used Shadow Claw to send the Mold Pokémon flying in the air and take it out of its shell. It then used its powerful Iron Tail to lend a critical hit, knocking Rebecca's Pokémon out and giving Zoey her fifth Contest Ribbon.
