Dawn's Pachirisu: Difference between revisions

==History==

{{an|Dawn}} captured {{p|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy!]]'', where it was shown to have a very hyperactive and mischievous personality. She had much trouble catching it, having to accept help from {{Ash}} and his Pokémon. She was looking forward to using it in {{pkmn|Contest}}s, but due to its behavior and her inability to control it, she felt she had failed Pachirisu as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{pkmn2|released}} it. However, she soon realized her mistake and went back to get it, only to find that [[Jessie]] also wanted it. {{TRT}} grabbed Pachirisu and took it away, but Pachirisu managed to defeat Team Rocket with a powerful {{m|Discharge}} attack and Dawn recaptured it, willing to give it another chance.

At the beginning of ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Pachirisu was seen practicing electricity storage with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It gathered static electricity on its cheeks before releasing it to create a beautiful sparkling show. It then asked Dawn for a reward and she gave it a [[Poffin]], but it was not satisfied and begged for some more. When Dawn refused, Pachirisu used Discharge to give her a bad hair day.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Dawn learned from [[Zoey]] that the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest was going to be held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. She paired up Pachirisu and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in order to train for this kind of performance and develop some new [[Contest combination]]s. She told Pachirisu to use Sweet Kiss and Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}}, but things didn't go quite as planned as the large whirlpool covered all the hearts from the Sweet Kiss. She also tried to combine Discharge and Whirlpool, but Pachirisu's Discharge was too powerful and it evaporated Piplup's Whirlpool.

In ''[[DP042|The Electrike Company!]]'', Pachirisu was called out to demonstrate how to use {{type|Electric}} attacks properly and help an {{p|Electrike}} that was having trouble controlling its electricity. Dawn asked it to store electricity before using Discharge, but it overcharged and the attack hit Ash instead of the target. Dawn then gave it a Poffin in order to motivate it and this time Pachirisu succeeded, completely destroying the target.

Pachirisu was used in the Appeals Round of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest along with Piplup in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. The hearts of its Sweet Kiss were encased by Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam}} and it used Discharge to dissipate Piplup's Whirlpool in a flash of sparkles. Their performance received positive reviews from the judges but it wasn't impressive enough to advance Dawn to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Pachirisu was briefly seen battling a {{p|Tauros}} and a {{p|Granbull}} alongside [[Conway]]'s {{p|Aggron}} in the second round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance their Trainers to the semifinal round.

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Pachirisu was seen practicing for the upcoming [[Chocovine Town]] Pokémon Contest. When it got tired, Dawn decided to give it and her other Pokémon some Poffins. However, {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} tackled her and sent her flying into the air along with all the snacks. While Pachirisu and the others were trying to cushion Dawn's fall, Mamoswine ate the falling Poffins. The loss of {{pkmn|food}} saddened Pachirisu, but it luckily found one Poffin Mamoswine didn't eat. It rushed over to grab it, but a {{p|Gabite}} appeared and stepped on the Poffin. This infuriated Pachirisu, causing it to learn {{m|Super Fang}} and start a rivalry with [[Ursula]]'s {{TP|Ursula|Gabite}}.

Pachirisu was used in the Battle Round of the Chocovine Contest. It quickly made its way to the finals, where it faced Ursula's Gabite. It was hit several times by Gabite's {{m|Dragon Claw}} because its spinning dodge technique wasn't working against the speedy Cave Pokémon. It tried to attack using Super Fang, but Gabite managed to get past its defense by using {{m|Aerial Ace}}. It then used Sweet Kiss, only to Gabite go through the hearts with another Aerial Ace. With two minutes left on the clock, however, Pachirisu was able to make a comeback. It used Discharge from the tip of its tail to completely destroy the {{m|Stone Edge}} shards and went up against a {{m|Dragon Rage}} with a Spark attack, breaking the move. It countered a Dragon Claw with its tail—which was filled with Discharge's electricity—and defended itself from Stone Edge by putting its tail up and creating an electric shield. It went rolling towards Gabite while using Super Fang and cut through Dragon Rage, reaching Gabite and hitting her with its fang. Gabite covered herself with her fins to prevent major damage and the time ran out. Pachirisu won the match by points, giving Dawn her fourth {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Pachirisu was used alongside Piplup in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Johanna]]'s {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}}. They started the battle by using a combination of Whirlpool and Discharge. However, the combination didn't last long as Johanna's Pokémon were able to gracefully dodge it with a double {{m|Quick Attack}} and destroy it with a double {{m|Shadow Ball}}. After that, Dawn had Piplup using BubbleBeam, but Glameow and Umbreon dodged once again. This was part of Dawn's plan, though, as BubbleBeam was meant to build a barrier of bubbles and hide Pachirisu. When Pachirisu came out from behind the barrier, it caught Glameow and Umbreon by surprise and attacked them with a spinning Super Fang. Johanna's Pokémon quickly fought back with a double {{m|Attract}}, {{status|infatuating}} both Pachirisu and Piplup before attacking them with a double {{m|Swift}} and knocking them out.

Pachirisu was temporarily paired up with Mamoswine in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' in order to make a Double Performance using its Discharge and Mamoswine's {{m|Ice Shard}}. However, it was unsuccessful and their combination failed.

In ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', Dawn used Pachirisu to lead a {{p|Metagross}} and a {{p|Magnezone}} that were fighting away from the town that was feeling the wrath of their battle.

In [[SS024]], Pachirisu was called out to help fight off the {{p|Ariados}} that were attacking Dawn. However, it was caught in {{m|String Shot}} and couldn't do anything until {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}} and saved it.

In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Pachirisu was introduced to {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}'s Pokémon. It excitedly approached the group and kicked [[Ash's Oshawott]]'s [[scalchop]] away due to its curiosity.
