Macy: Difference between revisions

Macy first appeared in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''. She is a {{type|Fire}} enthusiast. She developed a [[FireShipping|crush]] on {{Ash}} when he saved her from injury after her {{p|Vulpix}} was stolen by {{TRT}}, and it only grew when he returned it. She later faced off against {{Ash}} in the preliminary rounds of the [[Silver Conference]], where she proved to be skilled at deflecting her type preference's weakness to {{t|Water}} types. However, she lost to Ash when {{AP|Squirtle}} defeated her {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Quilava}}. After the battle Macy's {{p|Slugma}} had evolved into {{p|Magcargo}}, which Macy thought was a sign of the friendship between her and Ash.

Macy also appeared at the beginning of ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' where she faced [[Vincent|Jackson]] in the second match of the preliminary round. She won the match with the help of her {{p|Quilava}}, but due to Ash's draw with Jackson, she was eliminated from competing further. Her latest appearances were cameos in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' and ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' during the Victory Tournament rounds. She watched {{jo|Harrison}}'s battle against an unknown Trainer's {{p|Machamp}} and Ash's {{pkmn|battle}} with {{Gary}} from the grandstand, during which she cheered Ash on.

Macy is a passionate {{type|Fire}} trainer. Her criticism of {{type|Water}} Pokémon is only mentioned in an argument with Misty. She tends to take control of the situation, issuing the first attack. However, she is also shown to lack spontaneity, hesitating as Ash jumped down a cliff to rescue Pikachu and Macy's Vulpix from Team Rocket. Her confidence and loud personality can be abrasive. Her infatuation with Ash is the focus of most of her dialogue and appearances outside of the Silver League battles.

She is shown to be supportive of whomever she considers a friend. When her Slugma was hit with a Water Gun attack from Ash's Totodile, she maintained a determined composure. Macy was also shown to readily use Pokémon substitution in her match against Ash, in order to give her the upper hand in battle. She is fully aware of her team's weakness to Water-types, and uses both speed and her {{p|Electabuzz}} to combat these factors. Evasion techniques such as Slugma's {{m|Double Team}} and {{p|Quilava}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}} were also used. Her Pokemon's Fire attacks are shown to be incredibly powerful, knocking out Water Pokémon like [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}}.  

Her primary concern is her Pokémon's health and well-being, rather than a battle loss. She appeared unfazed by any of her recent losses, including those against Ash as well as her overall loss in Division H during the [[Silver Conference]] preliminary rounds.

|desc=Macy's {{p|Vulpix}} is often seen at her side, but has not been seen in battle. It appeared when {{TRT}} captured it but in the end {{Ash}} was able to save it.

|desc=Macy's {{p|Magcargo}} first appeared as a {{p|Slugma}}. It was first seen when it was sent out to fight [[Ash's Totodile]], but was soon recalled. It was brought out again to battle against [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]]. It was beaten by Phanpy's {{m|Take Down}}. It was shown to have evolved thanks to the training it got during Macy's match with Ash. It was later used during Macy's battle with [[Vincent|Jackson]]. However, its battle took place off-screen.

|desc={{p|Quilava}} was Macy's third and final Pokémon used against Ash. It was first sent out to fight Ash's {{p|Phanpy}}. Despite its type disadvantage, it took out the {{type|Ground}} Pokémon that Ash had used to counter Electabuzz. After this victory, it was recalled, but was sent back out to fight Ash's {{p|Squirtle}}. After a long fight, Quilava was knocked out by a {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

Quilava was later seen during Macy's battle against Jackson, facing his {{p|Poliwhirl}}. As Jackson tripped to his cape while trying to give an attack order, Quilava was able to defeat the Tadpole Pokémon, winning the battle for Macy.

|desc={{p|Electabuzz}} was Macy's second Pokémon used against Ash. Macy used it to cover her team's glaring weakness to {{type|Water}} Pokémon. However, thanks to {{an|Brock}}'s research on Macy's team, Ash had thought ahead and included his Phanpy. However, Electabuzz was quickly recalled and brought back out later on to fight Ash's {{p|Totodile}} after Quilava defeated Phanpy. It defeated Totodile, but lost to Ash's Squirtle, despite the type advantage.

* Macy is one of the rare occasions a girl became [[FireShipping|attracted]] to Ash and even hoped to go on a date with him. Notably, she is the first girl to do so in the main series anime.

* The [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/06_05-love-pokemon-style/ blurb from pokemon.com] in Macy's [[EP267|debut episode]] spells her name as '''Macey''' instead of '''Macy'''.
