Nando's Kricketune: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Kricketune appeared on [[television]] during [[Marian]]'s news report about Pokémon Contests. It was revealed to have helped Nando win the {{to|Beach Rose}} Contest, which earned Nando his fourth [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', Kricketune was revealed to have helped Nando win his second match in the Battle Stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', Nando used Kricketune along with his {{p|Lopunny}} to battle [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} in the semifinals. He had devised an elaborate battle strategy for the pair in which Kricketune mimicked a violinist and Lopunny danced like a ballerina. In harmony with his music-themed battling style, he commanded Kricketune to use {{m|Sing}} while Lopunny posed elegantly by its side. However, Zoey had {{pkmn|training|trained}} her Mismagius specifically to use {{m|Lucky Chant}} to counter Sing, a plan which proved successful as it lowered Nando's score. Eventually, Zoey's powerful [[Contest combination|combinations]] forced Nando to fight more directly, and Kricketune performed a vicious exchange of blows with Leafeon before the time ran out, resulting in Zoey's victory.
