'''Vincent's Meganium''' (Japanese: '''ジュンイチのメガニウム''' ''Jun'ichi's Meganium'') was [[Vincent]]'s [[starter Pokémon]].

==History==
[[File:LoT starters.png|thumb|left|As a Chikorita]]
In a flashback of the special's Japanese theme sequence ''[[A New Oath]]'', Vincent obtained {{p|Meganium}} as a {{p|Chikorita}} on the same day that {{jo|Jimmy}} got his {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil}} and {{jo|Marina}} got her [[Wani-Wani|Totodile]]. It had already fully evolved by the time ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' aired.

During ''The Legend of Thunder'', when Vincent suddenly arrived on the scene to stop [[Team Rocket]], Meganium saved Jimmy and Marina by using a {{m|Solar Beam}} on a big rock coming from {{p|Steelix}}'s {{m|Rock Throw}} that was heading for them. Meganium attacked Steelix with Solar Beam but it was proven ineffective{{tt|*|Even though it should have been normal effective.}}. Later, Meganium became one of the Pokémon who was helping to save {{OBP|Raikou|The Legend of Thunder!}} from [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] as Vincent had it use Solar Beam on the crystal-generated field along with [[Little Miss]]'s {{m|Psybeam}}, as any non-{{type|Electric}} move could neither absorb or reflect it. Later, it worked together with Typhlosion to take on Attila's and Hun's Pokémon. Around the end of the battle, Steelix was about to finish them off with {{m|Crunch}} but was stopped by Raikou when it escaped the Team Rocket's Crystal System.

Meganium reappeared in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'' of the [[Silver Conference]] arc. Jackson first wanted to save Meganium for the Victory Tournament, but realized that it was a mistake for him to do that. Outside, Meganium, along with Azumarill, got into a rivalry with [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} respectively as they wanted to have the one apple that was hanging on the tree. {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Miltank}} arrived and stopped them however with {{m|Heal Bell}}.

During the battle Jackson had with {{Ash}}, he sent out Meganium when two of his Pokémon were already defeated. Meganium was tied up against {{p|Bulbasaur}}. Both of the {{type|Grass}} were still upset about each other for what happened before. They recklessly used their attacks on each other, not bothering to evade any of them. As they both used {{m|Solar Beam}}, both of them were knocked out, ending the battle in a draw. Despite that, the Grass-type Pokémon started to get along, shaking vines.

It appeared again in a flashback in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' when Ash was remembering it battling Bulbasaur in memories from past.

==Trivia==
* Meganium is the only one of the trio of starters belonging to Vincent, {{jo|Jimmy}}, and {{jo|Marina}} that was never seen in its middle form; {{TP|Jimmy|Quilava|Typhlosion}} was seen briefly in ''[[A New Oath]]'', while [[Wani-Wani]] appeared as {{p|Croconaw}} in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.
