'''Luvdisc''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラブカス''' ''Lovecus'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.  


It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Luvdisc is a fishlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a relatively flat body in the shape of a heart. It is primarily light pink, with pale lips and circular markings on its cheeks. Its body is covered in heart-shaped scales.
Luvdisc are pink fish Pokémon that are shaped much like a heart. Their lips and cheeks are a lighter shade of pink.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
Luvdisc lives in shallow tropical {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|warm seas}}, where it makes its nest in the branches of {{p|Corsola}} or coral reefs. During its breeding season, it forms groups that turn the ocean's surface bright pink. As shown in ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', when two Luvdisc kiss, they are able to use their slender bodies as wings in order to fly for short periods of time. If a Luvdisc is left alone, it becomes disheartened and open to attacks from predators, such as {{p|Pelipper}}.
Like most fish Pokémon, Luvdisc is much more maneuverable in the water than on land. It is also able to {{status|Confusion|confuse}} would-be attackers with {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and {{m|Attract}}. A Luvdisc can point in the direction of its mate, like a compass. When two Luvdisc kiss, they can bond together and flutter like wings.


===Behavior===
Luvdisc is seen as symbol of love and romance; loving couples gave this Pokémon its name after spotting it in the ocean waters. It is said that any couple who sees a Luvdisc will be blessed with eternal love, thus honeymoon hotels usually release this Pokémon into their pools. A tradition in some places is to gift a Luvdisc to a person someone loves. At one point in the past, Luvdisc was overfished due to a rumor that its scales would allow one to find their sweetheart.
Luvdisc is often seen in groups, where they either have competitions as to who can jump the highest or try to attract mates.
===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Luvdisc live in nest made from {{p|Corsola}} branches. They live in warm or tropical seas.


===Diet===
==Game data==
{{main|Pokémon food}}
===NPC appearances===
{{-}}
* [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]: A Luvdisc may appear as part of the "Lost Luvdisc" {{DL|Pokémon: Magikarp Jump|Random encounter events|event}}, where it will give the player 4 Diamonds. Several Luvdisc also appear as part of the "Food Fever" event, swimming in and leaving food in the pond.
 
==In the anime==
[[File:Juan Luvdisc.png|right|thumb|210px|Luvdisc in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Caserin and Luverin====
Both {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Daisy}} have a Luvdisc, nicknamed [[Caserin and Luverin]]. They acquired the two Rendezvous Pokémon in ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]''.
 
====Other====
[[Juan]]'s Luvdisc was first seen in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. It was also used in the [[AG111|following episode]] in the [[Gym]] battle against {{Ash}}.
 
===Minor appearances===
Many wild Luvdisc appeared in multiple scenes of [[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]] and at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

[[Wallace]] has a Luvdisc nicknamed Elizabeth in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. She's usually shown out of her [[Poké Ball]], floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, apparently, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} to test {{Adventures|Ruby}}'s worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top contest Pokémon (excluding Mimi) in an unofficial contest in a matter of minutes.

==In the manga==
[[File:Wallace Elizabeth.png|200px|thumb|Luvdisc in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Wallace]] has a Luvdisc [[nickname]]d Elizabeth, which debuted in ''[[PS222|Short Shrift for Shiftry]]''. She is usually shown [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]], floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} to test {{adv|Ruby}}'s worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top Contest Pokémon, excluding [[Feefee]], in an unofficial Contest in a matter of minutes.
 
Wallace's mentor [[Juan]] uses a pair of Luvdisc that first appeared in ''[[PS256|With a Spoink in Your Step II]]''. They observe him as he trained Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Luvdisc (TCG)}}


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Luvdisc has no [[Egg Moves]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} prior to Version 2.0.1. This was presumably unintentional, as it regained them in said version. The same situation occurred with {{p|Cacnea}} and [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Grimer}}.


*Due to their similar appearance and identical typing, it was speculated that {{p|Alomomola}} would evolve from Luvdisc upon Alomomola's introduction to the public.
*In Generation V, the circles on Luvdisc's cheeks have been changed from white to pink.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Luvdisc is based on the {{wp|Discus (fish)|discus fish}} and certain other species of fish that appear to kiss each other (such as the {{wp|kissing gourami}}). It is shaped like a {{wp|Heart (symbol)|heart symbol}}. Its {{shiny}} colors may be a reference to having a heart of gold, which signifies a person or being completely without malice, whose nature is loving or caring.

====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Luvdisc may be a combination of ''love'' and ''{{wp|discus (fish)|discus}}''. It might also come from ''love'' and ''disc'', due to its thin body.
Luvdisc and Lovecus may be a combination of ''love'' and ''{{wp|Discus (fish)|discus}}''.
