Ash's Unfezant: Difference between revisions

===History===

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====

In prior [[region|regions]], Ash always caught a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon early in his {{pkmn|journey}}. He continued this trend with Pidove, who was captured soon after his arrival in Unova. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', shortly after a flock of Pidove escaped when Ash failed to capture one of them, he noticed her pecking at the ground and engaged her in a battle. She managed to put up a good fight against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until the {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon used his powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks, which caused her to faint. Ash threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} and successfully caught her. Later on, for the first time, Pidove was sent out in an effort to save Pikachu and [[Iris's Axew]] from {{TRT}}'s capture. However, as she was still weak from her battle with Pikachu, she was quickly defeated by a powerful Gust attack from [[Jessie's Woobat]]. She was later healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], along with Pikachu and Axew.

In ''[[BW018|Seawaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', Pidove was transferred to [[Professor Juniper]] shortly after Ash captured Sewaddle, although it would not be revealed until the [[BW019|following episode]]. She would return to his team three episodes later.

In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', Ash used her to help send the {{p|Venipede}} that took over [[Castelia City]] to the park in the center of the city. Although things started well, she was almost hit by a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and was only just saved by an Air Cutter from Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}. She then helped remove a few more and then suddenly evolved into Tranquill herself. As a result of her stronger form, Tranquill was able to clear out the last Venipede with a powerful Gust alongside help from Trip's Tranquill and its Aerial Ace attacks.

In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', Tranquill was used to help a newly revived {{p|Archen}} learn how to fly. After Archen evolved into {{p|Archeops}}, Tranquill defended her from Team Rocket and they said their goodbyes, up in the air, once Archeops found some others.

Ash used Tranquill to battle [[Skyla]] in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]''. She was first sent out to battle {{p|Swoobat}} who had already defeated {{AP|Krokorok}} before her. After their Gust and Air Cutter attacks proved to be dead even, the battle took to the sky, where Tranquill tried to get the upper hand with her recently learned move, Wing Attack. However, Swoobat was able to swiftly dodge the barrage of Wing Attacks until it was finally beaten by Tranquill's powerful Air Cutter attacks, as they descended to the ground. She then fought Skyla's {{p|Unfezant}}, but with none of her attacks even touching Unfezant due to her lack of speed, Tranquill started to show signs of tiring after narrowly escaping a barrage of {{m|Air Slash}} attacks and was called back to her Poké Ball, while {{AP|Pikachu}} took her place. She was brought back out again after Pikachu had lost to [[Skyla's Swanna]] despite having the type advantage. During the battle with Swanna, she was able to hit it with a powerful Quick Attack and Air Cutter, causing Swanna to fall towards the Gym; she then rushed past Swanna and tried to hit it with Gust, however, Gust was vastly overpowered by Swanna's {{m|Hurricane}} attack. While it seemed as if Tranquill had been knocked out, she began to glow and evolved into Unfezant. With her newfound power and speed, she was easily able to dodge Swanna's powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attacks and with the help of her newly learned Aerial Ace attack, was able to defeat Swanna with one extremely powerful hit, winning her the battle and earning Ash his sixth Unova {{Badge|Jet|Badge}}.
