Ash's Buizel: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', he was used in battle against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Steelix}}, but he could only use his Water Gun attack, which was easily countered by Steelix's {{m|Screech}}. The Iron Snake Pokémon, having Buizel unable to move due to the loud noise, trapped him with {{m|Bind}}, threw him into the air, and defeated him with an {{m|Iron Tail}} since he was unable to dodge, slamming him to the ground. When the dust caused by the impact cleared, Buizel was still standing, but ultimately collapsed, and was unable to battle.  

In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', Buizel was the first Pokémon used by Ash in his full battle against [[Paul]] (which was also the first time Buizel had battled Paul since being traded to Ash). However, he was immediately recalled by Ash when Paul chose to start with his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. Buizel was later sent out against [[Paul's Magmortar]], but despite the type advantage, he struggled against the Blast Pokémon, and was {{status|poison}}ed by its {{m|Smog}} before Paul recalled it. Paul then sent out his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and Buizel again found himself up against a stronger opponent. Nevertheless, Buizel put up a good fight, and was able to use the [[Counter Shield]] technique developed for the Gym battle against Fantina to hurt Ursaring. When Buizel started to lose strength, Ash wished to recall him; however, the Sea Weasel Pokémon requested to stay in the battle, and Ash agreed. This proved to be a mistake, as Buizel was instantly knocked out by Ursaring's following {{m|Focus Blast}}.
