Bianca's Emboar: Difference between revisions

'''Bianca's Emboar''' (Japanese: '''ベルのエンブオー''' ''Bel's Enbuoh'') is {{an|Bianca}}'s [[starter Pokémon]].

Sometime prior to ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', Bianca obtained Emboar as a Tepig and evolved into a Pignite. He first showed up in ''Minccino—Neat and Tidy!'' when Bianca attempted to use him to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} that had stolen the dirty Badge case that she had given to {{Ash}}. He fought with an impressive {{m|Flame Charge}} attack but Minccino managed to escape it. Though he had overwhelming power, he was taken down by Minccino with a combination of {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}.

Emboar was sent out to battle against [[Mikael]]'s {{p|Watchog}} in the first round of the [[Vertress Conference]] in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', and was able to easily defeat the {{type|Normal}} Pokémon. In [[BW104|the second round]], Emboar was the second Pokémon Bianca sent out to face {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}} in her two on two battle against him. Despite the type-disadvantage, Emboar was able to withstand an {{m|Aqua Jet}} attack and a {{m|Hydro Cannon}} before {{status|Infatuation|infatuating}} Samurott with Attract. Emboar then easily beat Samurott with a rapid Arm Thrust and a powerful Hammer Arm. Emboar then had to face [[Cameron's Riolu]]. He started with an Arm Thrust attack, however Riolu dodged it and when Emboar attempted a Hammer Arm, Riolu countered with {{m|Circle Throw}}. Emboar stood up, only to be knocked down by multiple {{m|Force Palm}} attacks. He then grabbed the much smaller Riolu and threw it across the battle field, although Riolu was able to recover and land on its feet. Emboar then used Flamethrower, only for it to be dodged and then used back at him through the use of Riolu's {{m|Copycat}}. Emboar was finally knocked out by {{m|Vacuum Wave}}; eliminating Bianca from the Vertress Conference.

Emboar is, undoubtedly, the powerhouse of Bianca's team. He alone was able to earn Bianca her first two Badges. As a Pignite, his personality was a lot like his Trainer's, as he can become pouty and throw a tantrum when his attacks fail to work as shown in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]].'' However, ever since he evolved into Emboar, he has shown to grow out of this behavior. He is now proud of his power, obedient to his Trainer, and able to take hits and defeats calmly, almost in the same way as Bianca has developed in her journey. He also has been shown to be clumsy like Bianca, seen in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'' when Bianca tripped on the battlefield and Emboar tried to catch her from falling, but to no avail.
