Nando's Kricketune (Japanese: ナオシのコロトックNaoshi's Korotock) is a Pokémon owned by Nando. It appears to be one of Nando's signature Pokémon, along with his Roserade.
In Coming Full-Festival Circle!, Nando used Kricketune as well as his Lopunny to battle Zoey's Mismagius and Leafeon. He had devised an elaborate battle strategy for the pair in which Kricketune mimicked a violinist while Lopunny danced like a ballerina. Zoey's powerful combinations forced him to fight her more directly, however, and Kricketune performed a vicious exchange of blows with Leafeon before the time ran out, resulting in Zoey's victory.
Kricketune was the final Pokémon used by Nando for his battle with Ash in League Unleashed!. It faced Ash's Heracross, and like in its battle with Leafeon, was evenly matched. After a fierce battle, Kricketune was defeated by Heracross's Horn Attack, resulting in Nando's elimination from the Lily of the Valley Conference.
Bug Buzz Dance was first used in Coming Full-Festival Circle! Kricketune uses Bug Buzz and Lopunny jumps into it and starts to dance causing the Bug Buzz to connect with Lopunny giving it the impression the Lopunny is a ballerina with streamers.
Kricketune is one of three rival's Pokémon to have been shown in a Double Performance appeal round and battle round, the others are Ursula's Gabite and Flareon.
