Iris's Emolga: Difference between revisions

Emolga made her debut in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' where she used her {{m|Attract}} move to take apples from a group of {{p|Patrat}}. She later encountered [[Iris's Axew]] chasing an apple down a hill. She acted kind towards Axew so that she could have obtained [[Pokémon food|food]] from Iris; however, she ran off after being smothered and almost captured by {{an|Bianca}}. She was later reunited with Iris whose Axew wanted to share its fruit. The trio then ended up deep in a forest filled with hostile {{p|Swoobat}}. They teamed up to try to battle the Swoobat, but Emolga's {{m|Discharge}} and {{m|Hidden Power}} attacks weren't enough to defeat all of them. However, {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were able to rescue them. Once they were safe, they returned to their camp, where Emolga flew into Iris's arms and accepted capture, much to Bianca's distaste.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!!]]'', Iris used Emolga to battle [[Jimmy Ray]] in the [[Club Battle]] tournament. Using her powerful moves, she managed to defeat his {{p|Watchog}} and allowed Iris to advance in the competition. In the [[BW041|next episode]] Iris used Emolga again to battle [[Stephan]] and his {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}}. In the battle, Emolga's Attract was blocked by Sawk's powerful {{m|Close Combat}}, leaving her without her signature tactic. Sawk dominated the battle until he hit Emolga with {{m|Double Kick}}, activating her Ability {{a|Static}}. In order to stall Sawk until the paralysis from Static took effect, Emolga used a stream of Attract attacks, which Sawk was still able to easily knock down. However, while Sawk was deflecting Emolga's Attract, he was unable to let up his fast moves for a second and was stuck until its movements were halted by the paralysis. The side effect of {{m|Close Combat}}, dramatically weakened Sawk's defenses and Emolga was able to defeat him with a single {{m|Volt Switch}}, which she couldn't use previously in the battle because it was a one on one match, however being used to finish the battle would not have broken any rules.  

In ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', Emolga had a training battle with [[Ash's Swadloon]]. The battle seemed particularly even until Emolga got caught in Swadloon's {{m|String Shot}}, where Iris cleverly ordered Emolga to use Discharge, sending a powerful jolt straight down Swadloon's thread and caused him a lot of damage. Eventually, Swadloon evolved into {{p|Leavanny}} and after making many leaf-hoods for the other Pokémon, he turned his attention to Emolga and Snivy. Though Emolga wasn't too pleased with the hood, she still took the chance to poke fun at an obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable Snivy. When the gang awoke from a nap and found Axew to be missing, Emolga was sent to search for him from the skies. On her search, Emolga spied a {{p|Durant}} carrying Axew into a cave and flew back to lead the gang to the cave. Emolga later joined Pikachu, Leavanny and {{AP|Scraggy}} in battling a large swarm of Durant so that they could retrieve the still sleeping Axew but the Iron Ant Pokémon continuously defended with {{m|Protect}}. Emolga used Attract to infatuate all but one Durant, which she and the others were able to defeat on its own, allowing Iris to rescue Axew.

* Emolga is Iris's only Pokémon that doesn't have a weakness to one of its own [[type]]s.
