Dolan

Dolan (Japanese: ダズ Daz) is a character of the day who appeared in To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!. He is a Pokémon smuggler who specializes in capturing and selling Vivillon to the highest bidder.

Dolan drove by with his Diggersby, on the run from Officer Jenny and her Manectric, with a stolen Scatterbug that he was planning to sell. However, while swerving, the cage accidentally fell down and Dolan drove off since he was still being chased. Later, Ash and his friends searched for Dolan with the help of Officer Jenny. Dolan returned to where the cage fell and found out that Scatterbug had evolved into Spewpa. Unbeknownst to him, the Spewpa was Chespin in disguise. He eventually found out sometime after driving off as the disguise fell off.

The group tracked Dolan down to an abandoned building, and everyone except for Ash got trapped in a net that was set. After Dolan threatened to also sell Chespin, Ash called on his Froakie to battle him, but it was weakened by Diggersby. Spewpa took over and was able to defeat Diggersby while evolving into Vivillon. Dolan tried to catch this Vivillon with a net, but Officer Jenny arrested him. Dolan was about to fight back, but Vivillon's scales made him calm, and he got dragged away by Officer Jenny.
