'''Ash's 30 Tauros''' (Japanese: '''サトシの30匹のケンタロス''' ''Satoshi's 30 Kentauros'') | '''Ash's 30 Tauros''' (Japanese: '''サトシの30匹のケンタロス''' ''Satoshi's 30 Kentauros'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} during his travels in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Collectively, they are the eleventh overall species of Pokémon obtained by Ash in the Kanto region. | ||
==History== | ==In the anime== | ||
===Original series=== | ===History=== | ||
====Kanto==== | ====[[Original series]]==== | ||
=====Kanto===== | |||
Ash spent some time in the {{safari|Kanto}} in the episode [[EP035]]. He was attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} as many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as possible, though all he ended up with were thirty Tauros | Ash spent some time in the {{safari|Kanto}} in the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP035]]. He was attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} as many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as possible, though all he ended up with were thirty Tauros, since they always ran in front of his [[Safari Ball]]s whenever he tried to make a catch. At the end of Ash's adventures in the Safari Zone, all thirty Tauros were sent to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. This episode has not been aired outside of Japan, {{pmin|Greater China}}, and {{pmin|South Korea}} due to the [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|firearms]] being a plot point. The [[dub]] merely mentioned in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' that Ash caught the Tauros in the Safari Zone without the captures ever being depicted. | ||
=====Orange Islands===== | |||
[[File:Ash Tauros Dragonite.png|thumb|220px|Tauros lifting Drake's Dragonite]] | |||
Ash began using Tauros when he needed a replacement for {{AP|Snorlax}} in his battle for the [[Winner's Cup]] of the [[Orange League]] in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. He sent the now-sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s for one of his Tauros to see if the "beginner's luck" strategy he had used in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] with {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} would work again. Tauros seemed shocked but very pleased when Ash chose him. | |||
Ash initially sent Tauros out to face against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Gengar}}, but as he got hit by Gengar's {{m|Confuse Ray}}, Ash chose to [[recall]] him. Tauros was later sent out again to face Drake's {{p|Venusaur}}. Although the sandy field used for this portion of the match made Tauros's {{m|Fissure}} attack ineffective, he was able to survive Venusaur's {{m|Solar Beam}} and eventually defeat it. As Tauros was getting tired out, Ash then recalled him again. He was later sent out one last time to face [[Drake's Dragonite]] after it had defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] and {{AP|Squirtle}}. Although Tauros too was eventually defeated, he still managed to tire Dragonite out enough for {{AP|Pikachu}} to finish it off afterward and win Ash the championship. | |||
In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tauros was reunited with the herd when Ash and {{ashfr}} returned to [[Pallet Town]]. | |||
[[File:Ash and Tauros.png|thumb|220px|left|Tauros and Ash]] | |||
[[File:Ash Tauros | =====Johto===== | ||
In ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', Tauros crowded into Ash's screen with Kingler, Muk, and Snorlax to wish him luck for his next [[Gym]] battle with [[Whitney]]. | |||
Tauros was used again in early [[Johto]] during the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]], in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''. Ash exchanged {{AP|Heracross}} for Tauros so he could compete in a Tauros battling competition. Ash then sprinted into the stadium to challenge [[Fernando]], the undefeated champion with ten straight wins. Ash's Tauros locked horns with Fernando's own Tauros, and managed to overpower his opponent with a Take Down before tossing him into the arena wall, winning Ash the tournament. Ash then received multiple [[trade]] offers from other Trainers, though he explained that he wasn't there to trade and sent Tauros back to Professor Oak in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''. | |||
Ash later used a Tauros in the [[Silver Conference]], in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''. He fought {{Gary}}'s {{p|Nidoqueen}}, managing to push through the rocks thrown by {{m|Rock Smash}} and charge with a Horn Attack. Nidoqueen blocked Tauros by catching his horns and then launched a close range Hyper Beam, easily knocking Tauros out of the match. | |||
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and [[Pokémon Chronicles]]==== | |||
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', the Tauros herd made a cameo appearance, telling the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]]. | |||
In the | In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', a string of events caused by {{AP|Kingler}} caused the Tauros to stampede through Professor Oak's lab and allowed a group of [[first partner Pokémon]] to escape. | ||
[[File:Ash Tauros vs Anabel Metagross.png|thumb|220px|Tauros clashing with Anabel's Metagross]] | |||
On Ash's return from [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', the Tauros were seen running towards him with his other Pokémon. However, they were so pleased to see him that they got carried away and stampeded off with Ash on their backs, and Ash had to be retrieved by his {{AP|Bayleef}} before he could be reunited with his other Pokémon. | |||
Ash used Tauros in his battle against [[Anabel]] in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', first against her {{p|Alakazam}}. He went on an offensive charge, but was easily defeated by a combination of {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Psybeam}}. | |||
After training the next | After training the next day—and being so spooked by a {{p|Beedrill}}'s {{m|Twineedle}} that he managed to hurl Ash, Anabel, Pikachu, and {{AP|Corphish}} flying into a lake—he was used in the [[rematch]] in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. Tauros took on Anabel's {{p|Metagross}}, matching brute force with brute force. The matchup eventually led to a collision of Take Down and {{m|Meteor Mash}}, which took out both Pokémon. | ||
=== | ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''==== | ||
The Tauros were reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' after his travels through [[Unova]] and the [[Decolore Islands]]. They greeted him by trampling him, much to the surprise of [[Alexa]]. Later on, they and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him. | |||
== | ====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''==== | ||
[[ | The Tauros reappeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' during Ash and {{ashcl}}' visit to Oak's laboratory. Excited to see him again, they ran into Ash and knocked him into the air. | ||
==Moves used== | ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''==== | ||
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', the Tauros reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]], knocking him into the air out of excitement. | |||
The Tauros, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, one of them posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him. | |||
In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', one of the Tauros watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. | |||
In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', one of the Tauros watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', the Tauros appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, multiple Tauros joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory. | |||
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', one of the Tauros assisted Ash in looking for a missing {{p|Charmander}} around Oak's lab, but to no avail. Two of them were later seen playing with Ash during his time in Pallet Town. | |||
===Personality and characteristics=== | |||
[[File:Ash Tauros overjoyed.png|thumb|left|250px|The Tauros showing their delight at seeing Ash again]] | |||
[[File:Tauros Herd.png|thumb|220px|The Tauros stampeding]] | |||
The Tauros' main characteristic is stampeding. Luckily, [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] includes large open plains, making it a perfect place for the Tauros to freely roam around. They have proved useful at the laboratory, stampeding to wake up [[Ash's Snorlax]] in times of crisis. However, their stampeding has caused mishaps. The first time {{Ash}} returned to [[Pallet Town]] in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', they stampeded through a fence and sent {{TRT}} blasting off. Later, they stampeded through the lab, leaving a mess and a large hole in the wall. | |||
Due to the large number of Tauros, it is impossible to determine the personalities of each and every one. However, the Tauros seem to share a very enthusiastic personality and a love of exercise. In terms of battle, despite their limited move set, they are all extremely strong, capable of throwing large opponents like {{p|Metagross}} or {{p|Venusaur}} into the air from a standing position, using only their large horns and strong neck muscles. It has been shown multiple times that they get very excited when they see Ash, as they often catch him up in their stampedes when he returns home. | |||

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu=== | |||
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Tauros was briefly seen during Ash's battle with {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]''. It is unknown whether Ash has multiple Tauros like he does in the anime. | |||

All thirty Tauros appeared in ''[[JNM20|Advice to Goh!]]'' at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* {{ | * The Tauros are {{Ash}}'s only: | ||

* | ** Non-temporary Pokémon he has {{pkmn2|caught}} more than one of. | ||
* The Tauros are Ash's first Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|not be part of an evolutionary line]]. | |||
* | * Ash's Tauros are the only Pokémon belonging to a main character to have been caught in an internationally [[banned episodes|banned episode]]. | ||
* It has never been revealed whether Ash uses the same Tauros whenever one of them is transferred to him or if Professor Oak simply sends him a random one each time. | |||
* The Tauros are the first Pokémon in the anime to have been caught in a {{i|Poké Ball}} variant. However, despite the Tauros all being captured in green [[Safari Ball]]s, they all have regular Poké Balls when Ash calls them into {{pkmn|battle}}. | |||
* {{an|Brock}} caught a Tauros at the same time that Ash caught his first Tauros. Because of this, some believe that Brock actually owned a Tauros, and the writers simply forgot about him in subsequent episodes. However, the Tauros was caught by Brock in one of Ash's Safari Balls, therefore making him one of the thirty owned by Ash. | |||
* In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Ash was offered a {{p|Rhyhorn}} in exchange for his Tauros after winning the {{DL|Pokémon Swap Meet|Rock and Tumble One-on-One Tauros Competition}}. Despite having tried to catch a Rhyhorn in the Safari Zone, only to end up catching another Tauros (along with having multiple Tauros), Ash chooses to keep his Tauros. | |||
* Starting in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', the Tauros appear to be darker in color, resembling their model in {{g|HOME}}. | |||
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, and LeafGreen}}, Tauros's encounter rate is 1% or 4%, depending on the area, whereas in {{game|Yellow}}, which was influenced by the anime, the encounter rate at the Safari Zone was raised to 10%, possibly as a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to Ash's Tauros. | |||
