Ash's Solgaleo (Japanese: サトシのソルガレオ Satoshi's Solgaleo), nicknamed Nebby (Japanese: ほしぐもちゃん Hoshigumo-chan) by Lillie, is a recurring Pokémon character in the anime taken care of by Ash, and his fifty-second Pokémon overall.
History
Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon
Nebby debuted in A Dream Encounter!. It first appeared in Ash's dream, where it was created by Solgaleo and Lunala at the Altar of the Sunne. It was taken to Melemele Island by the guardian deities of Alola, where Tapu Koko led Ash to where it was sleeping. Taking it to the Pokémon School, Ash and his classmates 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 Lillie nicknamed Nebby. When Ash brought it home with Lillie, it met Professor Burnet, Lusamine, Wicke, and 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 Night of A Thousand Poses!, Nebby teleported Lillie to Gladion, which prompted Lillie's fear of touching Pokémon to return. As a result, she lost her ability to touch her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy.
In Faba's Revenge!, it was lured out of Ash's bag by Faba, who convinced it to teleport him back to Aether Foundation's sealed lab. After arriving, Faba captured it in a device designed to keep it from teleporting. Faba intended to use Nebby's power to open an Ultra Wormhole, but he was stopped by Ash's Pikachu and Gladion's Umbreon. However, after being released, Nebby evolved into Cosmoem, and the residual energy from the evolution caused a Wormhole to appear anyway.
Nebby was brought to the Altar of the Sunne by Ash in Family Determination!. In the next episode, Ash gave Nebby to the Tapu, asking for their help. After being blessed by Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini, the four deities sung at the Altar, opening the mechanism within and causing Nebby to evolve into Solgaleo, much to the surprise of everyone present. After greeting the others warmly, Solgaleo accepted Ash, Lillie, and Gladion's plea to help Lusamine, giving Ash a Solganium Z. After having his Z-Ring upgraded to a Z-Power Ring by the Tapu, Ash and the others climbed on Solgaleo's back, and using the power of the Z-Move Searing Sunraze Smash, created an Ultra Wormhole to travel to the place Lusamine awaited them.
After arriving in the Ultra Deep Sea in Rescuing the Unwilling!, Solgaleo and Ash cornered Lusamine during the following episode. As a result, Lusamine flooded their island with a poisonous liquid. Due to Solgaleo's Steel-type giving it immunity to poison, it protected Ash from the liquid, and then carried him across it, dodging Lusamine's attacks along the way. After that, it went back with Ash's Lycanroc to help the others fight off Lusamine's Pokémon, who continued to heal themselves due to the Nihilego's energy. Everyone later succeeded after Lusamine was freed from Nihilego's control by Ash. Solgaleo then carried the group, now joined by the revived Lusamine, back to the Altar of the Sunne. After the conclusion of the episode, it parted from the group.
In The Professors' New Adventure!, Solgaleo appeared above the site of Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's wedding. The class thanked it for its help in Ultra Space, to which it smiled back at them.
In Filling the Light with Darkness!, Solgaleo and Lunala were playing in an Ultra Wormhole when they were attacked by a Necrozma. They fled as Necrozma pursued them through the Ultra Wormhole. It eventually wound up being injured by one of Necrozma's attacks and was left behind.
In Full Moon and Many Arms!, Solgaleo arrived in Alola, where it met up with Ash again and fought Dawn Wings Necrozma in an effort to free Lunala from its control. With its Sunsteel Strike, Solgaleo managed to knock Necrozma off of Lunala, causing it to break apart and fall into the sea. Shortly after, the elite Team Rocket unit, the Matori Matrix, attacked Solgaleo and Lunala by trapping them in an electrified net. After being freed by Ash's Pikachu and Gladion's Silvally, Solgaleo retaliated by attacking the unit's aircraft, forcing them to retreat. Immediately after, Necrozma emerged from the sea and possessed Solgaleo, causing it become Dusk Mane Necrozma. Ash tried to free Solgaleo, but was unable to stop Necrozma, and it fled into an Ultra Wormhole.
In The Prism Between Light and Darkness!, Solgaleo remained fused with Necrozma. The Ultra Guardians, with Lunala's help, pursued Necrozma to Ash's Poipole's home world, and learned that Necrozma was preying on the two Legendary Pokémon in order to absorb their light and restore itself to its Ultra form. After being asked by Naganadel to save Necrozma, Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion attempted to use their Z-Moves to supply Necrozma with Ultra Aura and separate it from Solgaleo. However, they were only successful in making it more powerful. Communication between the Guardians and their home base was soon reestablished. After Lusamine, Wicke, and Professor Burnet shared what they knew, they arranged for the people and Pokémon attending the Manalo Festival to follow the lead of the guardian deities and share a portion of their Ultra Aura with Necrozma. Combined with the Ultra Aura of the Ultra Guardians and their Pokémon, Necrozma received enough light to separate from Solgaleo. Solgaleo then joined forces with Ash, Gladion, and Lunala, giving Necrozma one last boost of power with the combined Ultra Aura of their signature Z-Moves, Searing Sunraze Smash and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom. Through these efforts, Necrozma's strength was finally restored. After Ash and Pikachu bade farewell to Poipole, Solgaleo and Lunala led the Ultra Guardians back to Alola.
In Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Solgaleo returned to Alola to say goodbye to Ash, before taking him on a trip through Ultra Space. There, they came across an unknown Ultra Beast off-screen.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
In Partners in Time!, Solgaleo appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's Charizard.
Personality and characteristics
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 honorific is still used occasionally, with "Little Nebby" being used instead of Hoshigumo-chan in the English dub. In Now You See Them, Now You Don't!, Team Rocket caught sight of the unidentified Pokémon while Ash was buying donuts from their food truck. James surmised that the unknown Pokémon was the pre-evolved form of Koffing, and named it Protokoffing (Japanse プチドガース Puchidogars). This led to confusion when the trio saw Cosmoem in 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 Legendary Solgaleo. After its final evolution, Ash and his classmates typically refer to it by its proper name, Solgaleo.
As a 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 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 konpeitō). It was also ticklish and enjoys playing hide-and-seek, as shown respectively in A Dream Encounter! and Night of a Thousand Poses!.
In Now You See Them, Now You Don't!, it was shown that Nebby tends to 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.
After evolving into Cosmoem, Nebby hardly spoke, moved, or emoted, reflective of its cocoon-like state. However, after evolving into Solgaleo, it appeared to have grown into a more mature version of itself physically and mentally, letting Lillie hug it, happily accepting the Star candy from Ash, and licking him affectionately. As a Solgaleo, it can create Ultra Wormholes at will with the help of a Trainer with a Z-Power Ring, a Solganium Z, and its Z-Move, Searing Sunraze Smash.
