'''Bo''' (Japanese: '''ブオウ''' ''Buoh'') is an {{p|Emboar}} that {{adv|Black}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} overall. He was given to Black from [[Professor Juniper]]. Originally, as a Tepig, his nickname was '''Tep''' (Japanese: '''ポカ''' ''Poka'') and as a Pignite, his nickname was '''Nite''' (Japanese: '''チャオ''' ''Chao''). As of ''[[PS521|The Power of Dreams]]'', he is at [[level]] 51, and his [[Characteristic]] is that he is "a little quick tempered." | |||
==History== | ==History== | ||
[[File:Black | ==={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=== | ||
[[File:Black and Bo.png|thumb|left|200px|Bo and Black]] | |||
Bo first appeared as a {{p|Tepig}} in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''. It was one of the Pokémon owned by [[Professor Juniper]] along with the other [[Unova]] [[first partner Pokémon|first partners]], {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}} and {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}. While he sloppily ate some {{Berries}} he roasted with his flames, Tepig got into a fight with {{p|Snivy}} after getting juice on his tail. The two fought each other until they were broken up by {{p|Oshawott}} who had gotten angry and easily knocked them away. | |||
After | In ''[[PS462|Choices]]'', they are delivered to an impatient {{adv|Black}} so they can be the Pokémon of the new upcoming {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. After being sent out of his {{i|Poké Ball}}, Tepig and Snivy get into a fight once more and are again stopped by an enraged Oshawott. Tepig runs off and Black follows him, leaving Snivy to suffer the wrath of Oshawott. Eventually Black finds Tepig stuck on a tree and rescues him from a wild {{p|Sewaddle}} and takes him as his own Pokémon. [[PS463|After]] this Black goes to a library to look up the [[evolution|evolved]] form of Tepig so he can decide an appropriate nickname for him. Tepig assumes that Black meant that he was not happy with his present form and runs away. Black follows him and after finding out the reason why he ran away, decides to give him the nickname "Tep" instead of a name based on his final form. | ||
In ''[[PS464|Black's First Trainer Battle]]'', Tep, along with [[Brav]] and [[Musha]], were used against {{tc|Hiker}} Andy, where they managed to defeat his three Pokémon in a [[Triple Battle]]. | |||
[[ | |||
In ''[[PS465|Lights, Camera...Action!]]'', Tep is introduced to the Tepig of {{adv|White}}, [[Gigi]], and becomes friends with her. White, needing a male Tepig to go with her female Tepig in her media shootings, decides to employ Black and Tep after the former runs up a huge bill that he now needs to pay off. Tep and Gigi are then paired up in several shootings, such as movies or commercials. Tep is [[PS467|later]] used against {{adv|N}} in [[Accumula Town]] where he is almost defeated by the young man's powerful Pokémon. With words of encouragement from Black, Tep manages to get back up and defeats his {{p|Tympole}}, allowing N to decide that the battle is over and leave. | |||
[[File:Striaton Gym Battle Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Tep during the Striaton Gym]] | |||
In ''[[PS469|Welcome To Striaton City!!]]'', Tep, alongside {{adv|Cheren}}'s Snivy and {{adv|Bianca}}'s Oshawott, are used in the [[Striaton Gym]] against the [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]. Due to the nature of the Triple Battle, the three are put at a disadvantage, and Snivy is eventually brought close to defeat. When [[Chili's Pansear]] attacks Oshawott he becomes enraged and defeats it, but is quickly knocked down by [[Cilan's Pansage]]. With the time limit almost up, the first partner trio eat the leaves that Pansage dropped, rejuvenating them. With it now being three to two after the time limit runs out Black, Cheren, and Bianca win. | |||
In ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', Tep was used in a [[Double Battle]] alongside [[Tula]] against a {{tc|Janitor}} named Geoff and his {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Cinccino}}. Trubbish begun the battle by attacking Tep with {{m|Acid Spray}}. When Black checked on how Tula was doing, he noticed that Cinccino was using its fur to make Tula's electricity slide by. Geoff then had his two Pokémon attack Tep and Tula, sending them flying. Despite thinking that he had won the battle, Tep got back up enraged and slammed into Trubbish with a fiery attack, having used some bottles to block his nostrils to prevent Trubbish's stench from reaching his nose. Tula then swung down from the bridge and used {{m|Slash}} on Cinccino, knocking it out and finishing the battle. | |||
[[File:White stopping Tep evolution.png|thumb|200px|White preventing Tep from evolving]] | |||
In ''[[PS477|Lost in the Big City]]'', Tep and Black encounter a lost boy crying in one of its buildings. When Black leaves to find help to find out why the boy is crying, Tep is left to watch over him. The boy quickly reveals himself to be a {{TP|N|Zorua}} in disguise and causes havoc for Tep all throughout the building. Eventually, Tep manages to attack the Pokémon, but {{p|Zorua}} escapes and one of his attacks hits Black instead. | |||
In ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]'', Tep begins his evolution process into his next stage. This causes White to freak out at the thought of losing her two Tepig duo between Tep and Gigi, causing her to grab Tep and shake him violently to get him to stop evolving. In his [[Gym]] battle against [[Burgh]], Black considers using Tep but decides against it when he remembers White's refusal against it. However, when Brav and Tula are defeated during the 3-on-3 Gym battle, Black was forced to use Tep as his last resort against Burgh's final Pokémon {{p|Dwebble}}. After nearly getting defeated by Dwebble's {{m|Smack Down}}, Tep was able to evolve into {{p|Pignite}} and quickly beat it by redirecting Dwebble's attack back at it. Afterwards, Black gave it a new nickname "Nite" to account for its recent evolution. | |||
== | In ''[[PS484|Battle on a Roller Coaster]]'', Nite is used in Black's Gym battle against [[Elesa]], and goes up against her {{p|Zebstrika}}. Due to Elesa's strategy of using {{m|Volt Switch}} to repeatedly switch out her team and attack, Nite struggles with hitting his opponents. Eventually, he manages to defeat Zebstrika as well as Elesa's {{p|Emolga}}, making Black the victor. | ||
[[File:Tep and Gigi.png|thumb | |||
In ''[[PS491|Fight in a Cold Climate]]'', Cheren was attacked by two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s and had Snivy taken from him. Black and Nite go with him to help reclaim Snivy. When Black and Nite become trapped in an ice wall, Nite manages to melt only the wall by igniting some berries and spreading them around. After Snivy was rescued the two defeated the Grunt's Pokémon with a {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Grass Pledge}} combination. | |||
In ''[[PS493|Underground Showdown]]'', Nite fights against [[Clay's Excadrill]]. After having trouble with {{p|Excadrill}}'s hole-digging tactics, Nite counters by making his own holes in the ground, allowing him to find his elusive opponent. After a short time, the two Pokémon knock each other out. | |||
In ''[[PS494|Up in the Air]]'', Nite is used in Black's Gym battle against [[Skyla]], where he faces against her {{p|Swoobat}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Nite comes out on top by crushing his opponent with a {{m|Heat Crash}}. Next, he faces Skyla's {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}, but is quickly defeated due to its {{t|Water}} attacks. | |||
[[File:Black chained by Brycen Cryogonal.png|thumb|left|150px|Bo and Black training under Brycen]] | |||
When the [[Shadow Triad]] attempt to steal the [[Dark Stone]] from the Nacrene City Museum in ''[[PS496|Museum Showdown]]'', Nite is used to attack the Team Plasma Grunts inside to protect the stone. Later, when the Shadow Triad use the {{adv|Forces of Nature}} to attack the Gym Leaders and Black, Nite attempts to protect his Trainer, but is easily stopped. He soon evolves into an {{p|Emboar}} and breaks free, but is still not strong enough to defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. | |||
[[PS498|After]] the defeat, Black is taken to the [[Tubeline Bridge]] for training under [[Brycen]]. Black is tasked with training Nite in fighting against Brycen's {{p|Cryogonal}}. Initially, they have trouble due to Nite's stubbornness, but they manage to defeat Cryogonal and break the ice chain it had around Black's ankle. During the training, Black gave him the nickname "Bo" now that he reached his final form. [[PS504|During]] Black's Gym battle against Brycen, Bo was used against Brycen's Cryogonal. Using the training it had before, Bo easily defeated Cryogonal, only to fall to Brycen's {{p|Vanillish}} next. | |||
[[PS510|After]] Musha left Black's team and Black fell unconscious for several days, he awoke to find the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament had already started. Feeling dejected that he did not obtain all eight Badges, Black decides to go back home to [[Nuvema Town]]. When he sees how sad his team is that they will not be able to join the League, Black decides to change his mind and challenge [[Drayden]] to a last-minute Gym battle for his final [[Badge]]. In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Bo is used to battle against Cheren in the finals. He fights against Cheren's {{p|Gigalith}}, but is nearly defeated due to a type-disadvantage. Eventually Bo is switched for Brav, who defeats Cheren's {{p|Unfezant}} and wins the battle for Black. | |||
During [[Team Plasma]]'s attack on the League in ''[[PS521|Triple Threat]]'', Bo, Musha, Tula, and [[Costa]] are sent out to help Black's allies fight against the Team Plasma Grunts causing havoc below. Once they finish, Bo and the rest of Black's team return to their Trainer after he defeated N. The reunion is cut short when [[Ghetsis]] attacks Black in order to prevent the public from learning about N's defeat. With a team specifically designed to counter Black's, Ghetsis has the immediate advantage. With Musha's help, Black defeats Ghetsis by defeating his secret weapon, a {{p|Volcarona}}, and then unleashes a powerful attacks on Ghetsis's team, with Bo delivering the final hit against his {{p|Eelektross}}. | |||
==={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=== | |||
In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Black had Bo memorize the scent of {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}'s {{m|Blue Flare}} so it could track the location of Black Kyurem, which had been previously hit by the same move. He was [[PS547|later]] used to try to keep Kyurem from destroying the [[Plasma Frigate]]. | |||
In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Bo, alongside the other eight Unova first partner Pokémon, fired their {{m|Fire Pledge|Pledge}} moves at [[N's Castle]] to stop the fire caused by the Plasma Frigate. | |||
==Personality and characteristics== | |||
[[File:Tep and Gigi.png|thumb|200px|Tep and Gigi]] | |||
Bo shares a love of [[Pokémon battle]]s and food with {{adv|Black}}, as seen in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''. Bo has a big heart and wants to be appreciated for who he is now, as opposed to what he can become—as seen in ''[[PS463|A Nickname for Tepig]]'' where he was determined to show {{adv|Black}} that he was great the way he was, thus his nickname reflecting his current stage as opposed to the [[evolution|evolved]] stage like the rest of Black's party. Bo is a bit of a romantic, almost instantly sparking a relationship with [[Gigi]]. He is also very clever as he used {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}'s leaves to heal himself, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}, winning the battle at the [[Striaton Gym]]. When in stressful situations, Bo has a tendency to become very angry and attack without thinking of a strategy. | |||
Through his evolutionary stages, Bo demonstrated a heightened sense of smell, allowing him to track people and Pokémon based on scents that can't usually be detected, ranging from pollen to the unique smell of {{m|Blue Flare}}. However, Bo's sensitive nose also made him susceptible to colds as a Tepig, and made it difficult for him to battle a {{p|Trubbish}} due to its {{a|Stench}}. | |||

==Filmography== | ==Filmography== | ||
Bo, as an actor, has starred in several films and television series. Black mentioned one in ''[[PS470|Their First Gym Battle]]''. | |||
====Films and Television titles==== | ====Films and Television titles==== | ||
* '''Days of our Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''マチ子の町''' ''Machiko's Town'') | |||
' | ==Trivia== | ||
* Bo is the only one of Black's Pokémon to be given a name based on his base form rather than his final form. However, his nickname was changed once he evolved into a {{p|Pignite}} and later into an {{p|Emboar}}. | |||
* If {{DL|Crystal (Adventures)|Natee}}'s name change currently only present in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translation isn't counted, then Bo's evolution marks the first and currently only time where a Pokémon belonging to a [[Pokédex holder]] has its name changed. | |||
* The series Bo acted in, Days of our Pokémon, is likely based on the soap opera "{{wp|Days of our Lives}}". | |||
