Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a dual-type Psychic/Grass legendary Pokémon.

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

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

Biology

Physiology

Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round toe-less feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes, similar to that of Mew, with deep black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

Gender differences

Celebi is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Celebi's main ability is the power to travel through time. Celebi also can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to Meganium). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful Grass and Psychic attacks.

Behavior

Celebi, like Mew, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, not wanting to show themselves despite their power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to determine exactly how many Celebi exist. Celebi also is very protective of itself, others and its home. For this reason, it has been referred to by some as a guardian of the forest.

Habitat

Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and voice of the forest.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Celebi feed on berries.

Major appearances

Celebi (movie 4)

Celebi first appeared in Celebi: Voice of the Forest. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking young Sam along with it accidentally. The Iron-Masked Marauder eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a Dark Ball and used it to destroy the forest. Ash and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

Other

Celebi also made an appearance in Pokémon Chronicles. In Celebi and Joy, Celebi took Ritchie back in time to help stop the destruction of a Pokémon Center.

In The Green Guardian, the Pokémon Ranger Solana accompanied Ash and friends in helping the Pokémon.

A Celebi will appear in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark. Due to it appearing on the promotional poster it is likely that it will be of a central role and will be appearing alongside Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.

Minor appearances

A Celebi appeared in the boss fantasy of A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine.

Celebi makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of The Rise of Darkrai.

A Celebi appeared in another fantasy in An Egg Scramble!.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
AG155 Celebi May's Pokédex Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi wanders across time as guardian of the forest. Where ever it appears, trees and grass flourish.

In the manga

In Pokémon Adventures, Pryce aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two Lapras, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga.

Near the end of the RS Saga, Ruby is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from Maxie and Archie, to prevent them from ever controlling Groudon and Kyogre again. Then, it revived Norman, Steven, and Courtney by sending them through an altered future.

In the TCG

Main article: Celebi (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl

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.

Celebi returns as a rare Pokémon in Brawl as well; the chance of it appearing is decreased to 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Celebi's case, the items are Trophies.

Trivia

Origin

It may be based on a fairy or dryad.

Name origin

There are many theories as to the origin of Celebi's name. It may be a combination of celestial and being, or it may be a combination of the English serenity and the Japanese bii, which translates to beautiful. It may also come from celery, due to the fact that Celebi is a Grass-type.

Celebi's name may also come from the Indonesian island Sulawesi, whose former name is Celebes. The island is also shaped similarly to Celebi, which is most likely a coincidence.

Celebi's name may also be based on Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture. There is also the possibility its name originates from "cerebral", referring to its psychic powers.
