Cilan's Stunfisk: Difference between revisions

'''Cilan's Stunfisk''' (Japanese: '''デントのマッギョ''' ''Dent's Maggyo'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Cilan}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his third overall.

In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', Stunfisk was inhabiting a lake with its friend {{AP|Palpitoad}} and a group of {{p|Tympole}}. Palpitoad asked for Stunfisk's help to get rid of {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} as it viewed them as intruders. Stunfisk managed to get them out of the lake and planned to guard against them, but {{an|Cilan}} used his [[fishing]] skills with his special lure to catch and pull Stunfisk to shore. Palpitoad then appeared before the group and had Stunfisk fire {{m|Mud Bomb}} at the [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] but he managed to evade it. Cilan then lifted his fishing rod in the air and started to spin Stunfisk around, keeping it at bay until Ash was able to defeat Palpitoad. Once he did, Cilan dropped the Trap Pokémon to the ground which, with the combination of dizziness, knocked it out and Cilan captured it.

In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Stunfisk battled [[Horatio]]'s {{p|Cinccino}} during the second round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Stunfisk won the battle with its newly learned {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack, allowing Cilan to advance to the semi-final round.

Stunfisk was called out in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'' by Cilan to find out how its Thunder Shock attack would taste to a trio of {{p|Rotom}}. Much to Stunfisk's embarrassment, the Plasma Pokémon disliked the electricity it produced. When {{TRT}} began their plan to capture the Rotom by feeding them electricity, Stunfisk volunteered to help by feeding them its own, but was shot down by Cilan. However, Stunfisk managed to rescue the Rotom alongside {{AP|Krookodile}} and {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} by shielding them from the electricity, absorbing it as a {{type|Ground}}.

In [[BWS01]], Stunfisk helped [[Ayumi]] perfect her partner {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After a few attempts, they finally landed a hit on Stunfisk, who giddily enjoyed absorbing the electricity. Stunfisk was later seen playing with Pikachu while Cilan, {{an|Brock}}, and Ayumi ate lunch.

In [[XYS06]], Stunfisk defended {{an|Bonnie}} from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Clawitzer}}.

In its debut, Stunfisk was quite aggressive, like the other Pokémon living in the lake. However strong Stunfisk was, it still obeyed {{AP|Palpitoad}}, proving it doesn't function well in a group without being a 'follower'. After Cilan caught Stunfisk, its personality did not change; as shown in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'' where after being brought out by {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}'s {{m|Volt Switch}} it attacked a newly revived curious {{p|Archen}} with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack when Archen bit it and subsequently laughed. However, it seems to have completely accepted Cilan as its Trainer, and new leader figure. In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', Stunfisk did not show any aggression towards the other Pokémon, even smiling as it watched {{AP|Oshawott}} flirt with Emolga, showing that it is satisfied with its group. Stunfisk also dislikes being stepped on, and cries whenever it happens as seen in ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'' and ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''.
