Light trio (anime): Difference between revisions

===History===

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====

Nebby debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. It first appeared in {{Ash}}'s dream, where it was created by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. It was taken to [[Melemele Island]] by the [[guardian deities]] of [[Alola]], where {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} led Ash to where it was sleeping. Taking it to the [[Pokémon School]], Ash and {{ashcl}} found that the unusual Pokémon emitted a high-pitched scream whenever it cried. Eventually calming it down, Ash decided to take care of Cosmog, which {{an|Lillie}} [[nickname]]d Nebby. When Ash brought it home with Lillie, it met {{an|Professor Burnet}}, {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], and {{an|Faba}}, who revealed that Nebby could be an [[Ultra Beast]]. Lusamine later offered to take Nebby with her to [[Aether Paradise]], but Ash declined because of his promise to take care of Nebby. Lusamine gave in and entrusted Nebby's safety with Ash.

In the original Japanese version of the anime, Nebby's official nickname is simply '''ほしぐも''' ''Hoshigumo'', as opposed to ''Hoshigumo-chan''. The ''-chan'' {{wp|Japanese honorifics|honorific}} is still used occasionally, with "Little Nebby" being used instead of Hoshigumo-chan in the English [[dub]]. In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', {{TRT}} caught sight of the unidentified Pokémon while Ash was buying donuts from their food truck. [[James]] surmised that the unknown Pokémon was the [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolved]] form of {{p|Koffing}}, and named it '''Protokoffing''' (Japanse '''プチドガース''' ''Puchidogars''). This led to confusion when the trio saw Cosmoem in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', causing James to assume that there was an intermediary phase it evolves into in Alola, which he dubbed '''Nanokoffing''' (Japanese '''カタドガース''' ''Katadogas''), but this was ultimately debunked when they witnessed "Nanokoffing" evolve into the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} Solgaleo. After its final evolution, Ash and his classmates typically refer to it by its proper name, Solgaleo.

As a {{p|Cosmog}}, Nebby shared many traits with human babies. It slept and cried a lot, but was easy to amuse and was naturally curious. Its cries were quite powerful, and they caused nearby people and Pokémon to cover their ears. In ''[[SM047|A Masked Warning!]]'', its cries were so powerful, it sent Pikachu flying back into a tree. Nebby was a very fussy eater and appears to have a preference for '''star candy''' (Japanese '''コンペイト''' ''{{wp|konpeitō}}''). It was also ticklish and enjoys playing hide-and-seek, as shown respectively in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'' and ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''.

In ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', it was shown that Nebby tends to {{m|teleport}} people to places they are thinking or talking about. {{Rotom}} surmises this is because it knew little about the world around it, so it had to depend on telepathy and other people to develop its abilities. By the end of the episode, it had become attached enough to Ash, to the point where it would willingly teleport to him on its own whenever they are separated.
