Cilan's Pansage: Difference between revisions

===History===

[[File:CilanBW3.png|thumb|130px|left|Cilan and Pansage in the official artwork]]

Pansage was the third and final Pokémon Ash faced in his [[Striaton City]] Gym battle, where he went up against [[Ash's Oshawott]]. However, Pansage dodged all of his attacks with ease and hit Oshawott quite hard with {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks. After Oshawott finally hit a midair Pansage with {{m|Water Gun}}, Pansage started charging {{m|SolarBeam}}, which petrified Oshawott with fear. He appeared again in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' where Oshawott deflected the SolarBeam and Pansage was soon defeated by Oshawott, earning Ash his [[Badge#Trio Badge|first Badge]] in the [[Unova]] region. At the end of the episode, Cilan takes Pansage with him while he travels with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', Cilan used Pansage in a battle against [[Iris's Axew]] to help Axew gain some battle experience. Even though Pansage significantly lowered his own attack power (twenty percent lower, according to Cilan), Axew was thrown off by his attacks. The battle ended when Axew used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but he accidentally misfired it, which caused a massive explosion that took Pansage, as well as everyone else, by surprise.

Pansage's abilities as a swimmer were shown in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]''. Cilan used him in a fishing competition to battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Basculin}} both in and out of the water. He was able to subdue it with SolarBeam and Cilan was able to capture it. However, it was later released. Later, Pansage was used to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing the Pokémon that were captured by the fishing competition contestants.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Pansage appeared in [[Luke]]'s movie alongside Cilan, as the main antagonists of the film. Later when Team Rocket had stolen {{TP|Luke|Zorua}} he switched roles and helped save Zorua when Cilan began to ad-lib his part, claiming to be a Magician now freed by Team Rocket's evil influence.  

In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Pansage teamed up with {{AP|Tepig}} when his Trainer Cilan and {{Ash}} won a battle against {{tc|Subway Boss}}es {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}. Battling their {{p|Eelektross}} and {{p|Chandelure}}, Pansage performed well, making use of the railings around the battle field. He and his partner battled well but were eventually defeated.

Much like his Trainer, Pansage is kind and cheerful to others. He was patient and gentle when battling the severely disadvantaged {{TP|Iris|Axew}} in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'' as well as on the wild {{p|Venipede}} in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He had no problem with adjusting his own attack power on these Pokémon. He is also shown to be very forgiving in ''[[BW011|A Home For Dwebble!]]'' as he held no grudge against {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} despite being injured by it and eventually made ill. However, he can also be very competitive as seen in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' when he battled against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Sawsbuck}}, as well as quick tempered as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' when he was suddenly attacked while taking a nap and knocked out {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} without being given orders.
