Harley: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Banette}} debuted in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] when it was Harley's turn to perform on stage during the appeal round. Banette's entrance was one that horrifies the audience. Banette performed a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Thunder. As a result, Harley was able to move on to the Double Battle round. During that round, Banette was sent out along with {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}} to battle {{an|May}}, where they were defeated by both {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, eliminating Harley from the competition.

Banette reappeared in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'' where Harley lends it to Jessie for the [[Mulberry City]] {{pkmn|Contest}} in an attempt to prevent May from getting her final Ribbon. It was officially used in the battle round where it went up against [[May's Squirtle]] in the final match. As Banette was Harley's Pokémon, it was told to use Frustration continually. Since all Banette did was repeatedly use the attack, this resulted in a loss for Jessie and the plan of having May not get her fifth Ribbon failed.

|desc={{p|Ariados}} first appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' where it tried to stop {{TRT}} from getting away with the Pokémon caught in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. In the [[AG144|following episode]], Ariados was used in the battle round of where it went up against [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]. Even though Wobbuffet's {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} would have been successful on Ariados, Harley was reluctant to have Ariados attack first and Wobbuffet only had moves that would deflect attacks back at the opponent. Since neither of them made a move, both were issued a yellow card, decreasing the points by half. Before another one was issued, Ariados starts to launch a String Shot at Wobbuffet, rendering it useless. Ariados defeats Wobbuffet by controlling it to move like a puppet. It then went on to defeat various opponents such as a {{p|Walrein}}. In the final match, it went up against [[May's Squirtle]]. Even though it was Squirtle's first Contest, Ariados ends up getting defeated.

Ariados reappears in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', performing in the appeals round of the [[Wisteria Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. Harley gives Ariados to [[James]] and {{TRM}} in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'' to interfere with May's performance at the [[Mulberry City]] Contest. It shot an invisible web from above at both May and her {{TP|May|Combusken}} while they were appealing. However, this was proven to be unsuccessful as Combusken's {{m|Fire Spin}} went through the web and burned Ariados.

|desc={{p|Wigglytuff}}'s first appearance was in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]],'' where it was used in the Double Battle round of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. It battled alongside [[Harley's Cacturne]] against [[May's Eevee]] and {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. Even though Cacturne was defeated, Wigglytuff was still a match for Eevee and Munchlax as it had the capability to expand its rubber-like body. Their attacks were rendered useless on Wigglytuff. After learning from [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] that Wigglytuff was the Balloon Pokémon, May quickly thought of a plan to utilize this to her advantage. She had her Eevee shoot a {{m|Shadow Ball}} and Munchlax destroy the attack, which resulted in an explosion, making Wigglytuff lose its balance. Wigglytuff was eventually defeated by May's Munchlax's {{m|Focus Punch}}, with the help of Eevee.
