Clemont's Chespin: Difference between revisions

==In the anime==

Chespin debuted in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} found it hiding behind a plant and eating macarons. Clemont tried to befriend it, only for Chespin to stab his hand with its spikes and run off with several macarons in its hands. Later, it witnessed [[Professor Sycamore]] being captured by {{TRT}} and helped Ash and Clemont track the kidnappers by following a trail of macaron pieces left by {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Once there, Chespin attempted to steal the macarons [[Jessie]] left lying around, only to fail and alert Team Rocket to Ash and Clemont's presence.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Chespin was sent out to battle Xerosic again, alongide Ash's Greninja. After countering Crobat's {{m|Air Slash}} with Pin Missile, it dodged Malamar's {{m|Signal Beam}} by having Greninja hurl it at their opponents, allowing it to hit Crobat with an extra powerful Tackle. After Greninja defeated Crobat, Xerosic recalled his Malamar and tried to escape, but was caught by Clemont's [[List of Clemont's inventions|Aipom Arm]].

[[File:Clemont Chespin gluttonous.png|thumb|250px|Chespin's gluttonous habit]]

Chespin is gluttonous and often goes after food, especially its favorite macarons. As a result, Chespin would keep the food for itself and refuse to give it back. When caught in the act, it is unrepentant, unless coaxed. Sometimes, it would eat so much food that it would become heavy, as evidenced in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]''. Its gluttony is usually the source of conflict between it and [[Serena's Pancham]], another trait it shares with Oshawott (who usually ends up butting heads with [[Ash's Pignite]]).  

Despite its gluttonous traits, it is also very courageous, going after {{TRT}} and respecting Clemont after he saved it from getting run over by [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mecha]]. It is also shown to be very determined when it repeatedly tries hitting Team Rocket's mecha despite its efforts being met with failure. Chespin tends to be the more vocal of the group and usually displays a very happy-go-lucky attitude. In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', Chespin was shown to enjoy the spotlight and is very confident on camera, unlike its Trainer. First shown in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Chespin has occasionally came out of its Poké Ball for various reasons, such as battling, meeting new Pokémon or wanting to do something. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'' and ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', Chespin has shown an interest in performing.

First shown in ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'' and later ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', Chespin developed a rivalry with [[Serena's Pancham]] and would later get into several quarrels with him. Though in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', it is shown that Chespin does get along with Pancham most of the time. Another time is when Chespin gave up its food willingly to Pancham in ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'' to congratulate him.

Chespin also shows an interest in being friends with [[Serena's Eevee]], but its outgoing, spontaneous personality clashes with Eevee's timidness, causing her to flee behind {{an|Serena}} or {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}, and leaving Chespin dejected. Chespin's approach is no longer rejected upon Eevee's evolution into Sylveon, making Chespin overjoyed when she accepted its encouragement for the {{pkmn|Showcase}}.
