Cilan's Pansage: Difference between revisions

enva1=[[Eli James]]|

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', Cilan used Pansage in a battle against [[Iris's Axew]] to help Axew gain some battle experience. Even though Pansage significantly lowered his own attack power (twenty percent lower, according to Cilan), Axew was thrown off by his attacks. The battle ended when Axew used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but he accidentally misfired it, which caused a massive explosion that took Pansage, as well as everyone else, by surprise.

In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', Cilan used Pansage to battle with [[Chili]]'s {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, after they were challenged. During the battle, Pansage was revealed to know {{m|Rock Tomb}}, which he used to defeat the High Temp Pokémon. He also calmed Pansear down after it had a fight with its Trainer. Pansage, Cilan and the others all later helped Chili and Pansear train and even learn his own most powerful attack: Solar Beam.

In ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'', Pansage was sent out to battle a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}'s {{p|Liepard}}, using Bullet Seed to prevent it from attacking. However, his Bullet Seed collided with [[Barret]]'s {{p|Magnezone}}'s {{m|Magnet Bomb}} and the resulting explosion knocked out [[Ash's Pignite]]. Pansage eventually defeated Liepard.

In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', Pansage helped his Trainer to gather fruit for lunch. When the gang encountered an {{p|Abomasnow}}, Pansage offered a piece of fruit to the Frost Tree Pokémon, only to be attacked instead. The Abomasnow was revealed to be owned by [[Morana]] who had come to challenge Cilan. Pansage briefly reunited with Chili's Pansear and [[Cress's Panpour]] before confronting Morana and her Abomasnow with his Trainer. When the battle started, Abomasnow's {{a|Snow Warning}} ability lay snow across their battle field. Both Pokémon collided their Bullet Seed attacks, with Abomasnow's overpowering Pansages's, but not before Pansage dodged and struck Abomasnow with Dig, only to take a hit from Abomasnow's {{m|Strength}}. Pansage's Solar Beam was then matched by Abomasnow's {{m|Blizzard}}. Pansage then managed to avoid {{m|Sheer Cold}} with Dig and strike his opponent with Bullet Seed from within the hole. Pansage readied a Rock Tomb to finish the battle but was frozen by Blizzard. As Abomasnow charged towards the frozen Pansage using Strength, Pansage managed to charge a Solar Beam which broke through the ice and stopped Abomasnow's attack. Pansage finally knocked out his opponent with Rock Tomb. After the battle, Pansage graciously healed Abomasnow with herbs from his head.

In [[JN132]], Pansage watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}.

In [[JN139]], Cilan used Pansage to battle [[Brock's Steelix]].

Much like his Trainer, Pansage is kind and cheerful to others. He was patient and gentle when battling the severely disadvantaged {{TP|Iris|Axew}} in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', as well as on the wild {{p|Venipede}} in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He had no problem with adjusting his own attack power on these Pokémon. He is also very forgiving in ''[[BW011|A Home For Dwebble!]]'' as he held no grudge against {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} despite being injured by it and eventually made ill. However, he can also be very competitive as seen in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' when he battled against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Sawsbuck}}, as well as quick tempered as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' when he was suddenly attacked while taking a nap and knocked out {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} without being given orders.
