'''Santa Claus''' (Japanese: '''サンタクロース''' ''Santa Claus'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is based on the {{wp|Santa Claus}} of Christmas holiday fame. He has the same tasks as that of the "real world": giving gifts to good children all over the {{pkmn|world}} with his sleigh. He lives at the [[North Pole]].


==History==
==History==
Santa Claus first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.
Santa Claus first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. {{TRT}} attacked Santa’s workshop and stole all the presents, namely because [[Jessie]] was left heartbroken and wanted revenge after her doll was “taken” by one of Santa’s {{p|Jynx}} during her childhood. While Santa presented Jessie with her now fixed doll, explaining that it was taken for repairs but they couldn’t return it as she had stopped believing in Christmas. Team Rocket still pressed ahead with their evil scheme, though Santa with the help of his Pokémon sent them blasting off.


He reappeared in the [[Pikachu short]]s, ''[[PK06|Stantler's Little Helpers]]'' and ''[[PK08|Delibird's Dilemma]]''.
He and his Ponyta-drawn sleigh made a cameo in ''[[PK02|Christmas Night]]'' as they delivered presents.
 
Santa's annual Christmas delivery came to a stop after his faithful {{p|Stantler}} came down with a fever in ''[[PK06|Stantler's Little Helpers]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}} and the other Pokémon located some berries needing to help Stantler recover, allowing for Christmas to go ahead without a hitch.
 
In ''[[PK08|Delibird's Dilemma]]'', Santa's {{p|Delibird}} was accidentally knocked out of the sky because of [[Ash's Totodile]], and its presents scattered across a town the day before Christmas. Pikachu and the others split up into two search parties and were able to return all the lost presents to Delibird, who later joined Santa Claus to deliver them in time.


==Character==
==Character==
He is the [[Pokémon world]]'s version of Santa Claus. He has the same tasks as that of the "real world": giving away gifts to all the good children all over the world with his sleigh. He lives at the [[North Pole]].
Santa Claus epitomizes the [[Christmas]] spirit. Characteristically jolly, Santa is focussed on delivering a good Christmas to all, and will also repair any broken toys. However, as revealed in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', a person must have an open heart and believe in Christmas for Santa to reach them.  
 
His sleigh was originally pulled by {{p|Ponyta}}, though this role was given to {{p|Stantler}} after its debut in [[Generation II]].
