'''Ash's Unfezant''' (Japanese: '''サトシのケンホロウ''' ''Satoshi's Kenhallow'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-fifth overall.


'''Ash's Mamepato''' (Japanese: '''サトシのマメパト''' ''Satoshi's Mamepato'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Isshu]] region.
==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Ash Pidove being caught.png|thumb|left|250px|Pidove being caught]]
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 he arrived 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 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.


==History==
Ash occasionally used Pidove to find and track certain Pokémon. She helped Ash find two {{p|Darumaka}} in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' and a wild {{AP|Snivy}} in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', playing a dominant role in the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon's capture. At the time, Pidove had followed Snivy after she escaped using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. As she witnessed all of Ash's other Pokémon (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}}) fall to the Grass Snake Pokémon's {{m|Attract}} technique, she volunteered to battle Snivy. When Snivy attempted to use Attract on Pidove, Pidove was unaffected as she was female (a fact of which Ash had been completely unaware, despite Iris and Cilan's assumptions that it was his strategy). After a hard-fought battle, Pidove weakened Snivy enough for her to be captured by Ash.
As he has done in every other region he has traveled through, Ash caught a {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon early in his journey through Isshu. Mamepato was caught soon after arrival in [[BW002]]. Mamepato managed to put up a good fight against [[Ash's Pikachu]]; the {{type2|Electric}} used {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}} to take down the Baby Pigeon Pokémon. After weakening it, Ash took the chance to catch Mamepato. Upon success, he then celebrated with Pikachu as {{an|Iris}} showed up.


==Moves==
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', she was briefly used by Ash in a 5-on-5 battle against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Frillish}}. She tried her best, but after her Air Cutter attack was blocked by {{m|Protect}}, she was taken by surprise by his {{m|Water Pulse}} and got knocked out in the process.

In ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', Pidove was transferred to [[Professor Juniper]] shortly after Ash captured {{AP|Sewaddle}}, although it would not be revealed until the [[BW019|following episode]]. She would return to his team three episodes later in a ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where 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 suddenly evolved into Tranquill herself. As a result of her stronger form, Tranquill cleared 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.
{{anmov/f|normal|flying}}
[[File:Ash Unfezant vs Skyla Swanna.png|thumb|left|250px|Unfezant battling Skyla's Swanna]]
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 Tranquill's powerful Air Cutter attacks finally beat it as they descended to the ground. She then fought Skyla's {{p|Unfezant}}. Still, 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]]. 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 like 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}}.
 
In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'', Ash sent Unfezant out as his second Pokémon in his 6-on-3 Gym battle against [[Roxie]], where she faced Roxie's {{p|Koffing}}. Unfezant started the round with a Quick Attack that made a direct hit. Koffing attacked with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but Unfezant sent it back with a Gust before attacking with Air Cutter. Koffing, however, avoided the attack and launched a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit and {{status|poison}}ed Unfezant. Though she was weakened, Unfezant was able to withstand Koffing's {{m|Clear Smog}} and fight back. She was, however, unable to stand two consecutive {{m|Gyro Ball}}s and was finally taken down.
[[File:Ash and Unfezant.png|thumb|250px|Unfezant and Ash]]
In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Ash used Unfezant along with Pikachu to battle the {{an|Forces of Nature}} after {{an|Giovanni}} took control of them to keep Ash and friends occupied. After [[Iris's Dragonite]] was injured and fell to the ground, Unfezant and Pikachu managed to save {{an|Iris}} and Dragonite from being attacked by {{DL|Forces of Nature (anime)|Thundurus}}. When {{an|Meloetta}} was finally freed from the tomb, Unfezant grabbed it so it didn't fall and get hurt.
 
In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Unfezant in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{un|Cameron}} and his {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}}. Despite Unfezant having the type advantage, Riolu proved to be a powerful opponent, being able to dodge both Gust and Quick Attack before landing on Unfezant's back and serving a close-range hit with {{m|Force Palm}}. Ash told Unfezant to shake Riolu off and strike back with an Air Cutter. However, the Emanation Pokémon was able to dodge the attack and then use {{m|Copycat}}, hitting Unfezant with her own move before serving another hit with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}. Unfezant tried to attack with Aerial Ace, but the Flying-type's last effort was avoided and countered by Riolu's {{m|Circle Throw}}, which sent Unfezant flying into the arena wall, knocking her out.
 
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash sent Unfezant to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to make room in his team for his returning {{AP|Charizard}}, rotating her out of the team for the rest of the series.
 
She reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. Unfezant joined them to launch a group attack on Team Rocket, using Air Cutter to send them blasting off for the final time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Unfezant later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.
 
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Unfezant, 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, she helped train [[Ash's Dragonite]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, she posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.
 
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Unfezant watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} and {{an|Cynthia}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Unfezant appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].
 
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Unfezant, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.
 
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Unfezant assisted Ash in looking for a missing {{p|Charmander}} around Oak's lab, but to no avail.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
Unfezant is a helpful Pokémon, such as when Ash needs help dealing with Team Rocket or when he needs her to search for a Pokémon. She also goes the extra mile when helping with training, such as when {{p|Archen}} needed help with her flying skills. Unfezant isn't a confrontational Pokémon, not even fighting back when attacked by [[Ash's Scraggy]], instead choosing to freak out and run away from him and, in the same instance, is rather sensitive.
 
Unfezant is also quite confident, as shown in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where she took no hesitation in trying to clear [[Castelia City]] from the group of {{p|Venipede}}. After evolving into Unfezant and beating [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Swanna}} in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', she celebrated by doing a couple of victory laps above the Gym. During her time at {{an|Professor Oak}}’s lab, Unfezant befriended Ash's {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and can usually be seen hanging out with them.
