'''Liko's Floragato''' (Japanese: '''リコのニャローテ''' ''Liko's Nyarote'') was the [[first partner Pokémon]] that [[Liko]] obtained at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, given to her as a {{p|Sprigatito}} at [[Indigo Academy]]. She is usually seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] her {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Liko Sprigatito past incident.png|thumb|250px|The incident that made Sprigatito wary of using Leafage]]
Prior to ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', {{p|Floragato}}, still as a {{p|Sprigatito}} was raised by [[Manya]] at her [[Manya's house|home]] among other {{wp|Felidae|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as seen in [[HZ040]]. During this time, Sprigatito was usually alone, preferring to stay by herself rather than playing with others, until she impressed her fellow Pokémon with her skills in using {{m|Leafage}} and became close friends with a group of other Sprigatito. One day, she witnessed her friends in trouble after they were snatched by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spidops}}. Although she managed to scare the attacker away, she ended up hurting her friends in the process. From this point onwards, they started avoiding her, afraid of what could happen to them. Thus, Sprigatito felt lonely again, sitting alone on the roof as the others found partners for themselves, and stopped using the [[move]] that once was a source of admiration.

Later on, she was among a variety of [[first partner Pokémon]] being introduced to a [[Liko|beginning Trainer]] from [[Indigo Academy]]. As Manya noted at the moment, Sprigatito saw something in her, something that made her think they were made for one another.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Liko choosing Sprigatito.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito being picked to be Liko's [[first partner Pokémon]]]]
Floragato debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'' as a Sprigatito, when [[Liko]] received her as her first partner Pokémon from Indigo Academy. At first, Sprigatito and Liko didn't get along well, with the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}} scratching her Trainer's hand and running off to mind her own business. In her {{pkmn|battle}} debut against [[Ann]]'s {{p|Oshawott}}, Sprigatito didn't listen to Liko's instructions, which led to her getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}.

During the next days, Liko worked hard to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito by learning more about her and make her listen to her instructions in battle, but to little avail. When [[Amethio]] first approached Liko, Sprigatito immediately got suspicious of him and led her Trainer to the school's rooftop. She then went up against [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} and won after subduing it with her aroma.

After being rescued by [[Friede]] in the [[HZ002|next episode]], they were taken aboard his [[Brave Olivine|airship]] with the other members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], but were soon confronted by Amethio and his teammates. Liko was about to give herself up, but after some encouragement from Sprigatito, she stood tall and had her partner unleash a Leafage so strong it broke the forcefield around the Wing Deck, exposing everyone to the unrelenting weather going on. In the process, however, she got blown overboard, which allowed the [[Explorers]] to kidnap her before fleeing.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Sprigatito was kept in a warehouse with [[Onia]], who had taken a liking to Sprigatito and was giving her food and toys. With the help of [[Murdock's Rockruff]], Liko located Sprigatito and took her back from the Explorers, only to be confronted by Onia and her {{p|Skarmory}}. Sprigatito was able to blind Onia and Skarmory with Leafage, allowing them to escape. At the end of the day, Sprigatito and Liko joined the Rising Volt Tacklers as official members.
[[File:Liko Floragato Roy Fuecoco Dot Quaxly.png|thumb|250px|Floragato and her friends]]
In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', Sprigatito battled Onia and her {{p|Golduck}}, and quickly defeated them. However, Sprigatito and Liko were almost ambushed by Amethio and his {{p|Corviknight}}. Fortunately, they were [[HZ006|saved by Liko's pendant]] once again. Sprigatito then teamed up with [[Roy]]'s soon-to-be {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in order to battle against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. Despite the numerical advantage, Ceruledge was clearly dominating the battle, which ultimately came to a halt when a [[Black Rayquaza]] emerged from [[Roy]]'s {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} and started attacking, forcing the Explorers to retreat.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Sprigatito briefly sparred against Roy's Fuecoco. However, they didn't make much progress, as both Pokémon tired themselves into a draw after consecutive uses of Leafage and {{m|Ember}}. Later, after being unable to talk to [[Dot]], Liko and Roy's determination to get stronger convinced Friede into holding a special training session for the rookies: this time, Sprigatito and Fuecoco faced off against [[Captain Pikachu]] and needed to land only a single hit on the Mouse Pokémon to win the match. While they initially struggled against his {{m|Double Team}}, Sprigatito managed to almost score a {{m|Scratch}} after her Trainer figured out Pikachu's behavior. After a lunch break, Sprigatito battled against Fuecoco once more in order to see how much the special training paid off. In the end, despite being at a [[type]] disadvantage, Sprigatito knocked Fuecoco out with her newly-learned {{m|Quick Attack}}, giving Liko the win. This battle was the first step for the new Rising Volt Tacklers to get closer to Dot, who let them know that the Black Rayquaza was in [[Paldea]].
[[File:Sprigatito retrieves Liko's pendant.png|thumb|250px|left|Sprigatito retrieving Liko's pendant]]
In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Sprigatito and Liko went to [[Levincia]] after her Trainer saw an advertisement for the [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] that [[Murdock]] had wanted. However, unbeknownst to both of them, this was a trap set up by [[Spinel]] in order to steal Liko's pendant. After arriving in a dark alley, Sprigatito was put in a trance by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}} as he easily stole the pendant. It was later revealed in the [[HZ015|next episode]] that Sprigatito went through a memory wipe thanks to Beheeyem, but regained her memory piece by piece. After jumping off a building with Liko, Sprigatito reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon and [[Dot's Quaxly]] to battle Spinel's Pokémon. Although they were able to defeat his {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, they nearly lost to his {{p|Umbreon}}. However, Sprigatito was able to get Liko's pedant back from Spinel.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Sprigatito participated in a Gym challenge set up by [[Motostoke]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Kabu]]. Sprigatito's role was to extinguish the {{p|Litwick}} flames while Fuecoco attempted to keep them lit. Sprigatito ended up gaining the advantage, only for Liko to give up on the challenge when she noticed Roy's improvement, upsetting Sprigatito. She then went on to battle alongside Fuecoco against Kabu's {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}'s {{p|Rolycoly}}. The two were unable to defeat Centiskorch and, when faced off against Rolycoly, Liko forfeited against Sprigatito's wishes so Wakaba could win, which greatly upset both Wakaba and Sprigatito.
[[File:Liko Sprigatito Overgrow.png|thumb|250px|Overgrow activated]]
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Sprigatito battled against the Explorers alongside Fuecoco until they encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball. After Moltres overwhelmed everyone and left Captain Pikachu injured, Sprigatito left the [[Galar Mine]] with Liko, Roy, and the Mouse Pokémon. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Sprigatito was brought to the Motostoke [[Pokémon Center]] in order to recover. After recovering, Sprigatito battled Moltres again in an attempt to calm down the angry Pokémon. With the help of {{p|Arboliva}}'s {{a|Seed Sower}}, it increased the power of Sprigatito's Leafage in order to have its sweet scent reach Moltres. This calmed the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down, and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, which allowed Liko to take it under her care.

In ''[[HZ028|The Stolen Treasure]]'', Sprigatito teamed up with Roy's Pokémon to battle against [[Tepen]] in order to get the Ancient Poké Ball back that he stole from them, but was put to sleep by the special {{m|Sleep Powder}} that his {{p|Foongus}} had.

In [[HZ040]], Sprigatito ran away from the Brave Olivine, after she accidentally injured Liko during a practice battle against Fuecoco. She went to Manya's home, as she saw her home nearby earlier while Liko was giving Hatenna and Terapagos a bath. When Liko arrived to claim her, Sprigatito refused to leave as she believed that she would hurt her Trainer again. However, Sprigatito was convinced by Liko that what happen before was an accident and knew that she would never want to hurt her on purpose. After understanding Liko's words, Sprigatito saw Hatenna and Terapagos snatched by a wild {{p|Spidops}}. She initially hesitated to use Leafage again to hurt her friends, but Liko encouraged her to use it, and she used it again. This time, she learned {{m|Magical Leaf}} to save them. After returning to the Brave Olivine, Sprigatito continued her practice battle against Fuecoco and won.

In [[HZ043]], Sprigatito was used to battle against [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}}. Despite her best efforts, none of her attacks seemed to faze the opposing Pokémon, who eventually used her Magical Leaf as a smokescreen to bind her and unleash a point-blank {{m|Salt Cure}}. This was enough to activate her {{a|Overgrow}} [[Ability]], giving her a power boost in a pinch, but the battle was called off early due to new developments on the Explorers's plan.

In [[HZ044]], Sprigatito played a part in stalling the Explorers until Dot arrived to deactivate the machine they were using. In the [[HZ045|next episode]], Sprigatito teamed up with Fuecoco, Quaxly, Captain Pikachu, and [[Friede's Charizard]] in order to battle against the Black Rayquaza. Collectively, they manage to create an opening for Fuecoco to unleash his {{m|Disarming Voice}}, but the Legendary Pokémon counterattacked with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}, almost hitting Sprigatito if not by the sudden arrival of Amethio. Then, fueled up by her Trainer's determination, Sprigatito evolved into Floragato and was able to land a hit on the Legendary Pokémon, but collapsed from exhaustion.

In [[HZ046]], Floragato traveled with Liko to [[Naranja Academy]]. After a tour and being introduced to some of the teachers, Floragato had a [[rematch]] against Ann's {{p|Dewott}}, mirroring the first battle she had under Liko's ownership. This time, Floragato was able to win the battle by using her type advantage and newfound dexterity to her advantage.

In [[HZ047]], Floragato headed to [[Cortondo]] with her Trainer for their [[Terastal Training]]'s test. She assisted Liko with successfully baking a matcha cake. In the subsequent battle against [[Katy]], Floragato struggled to attack her {{p|Teddiursa}} due to {{m|Sweet Scent}} and {{m|Charm}} distracting her constantly. Liko swifty ordered her to use Magical Leaf to blow away the Sweet Scent and to land a hit on her opponent. Floragato then Terastallized into a Grass Tera Type to deal more damage to Teddiursa with a boosted Magical Leaf flurry. However, Teddiursa Terastallized into a {{t|Bug}} type, rendering the move [[Type#Type effectiveness|not very effective]] and followed up with a powered-up, super-effective {{m|Fury Cutter}}, beating Floragato. Despite the loss, Liko and Floragato both passed the test due to their strong bond, efforts, and use of Terastallization at an appropriate time.

In [[HZ056]], Floragato was used in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside Katy and her {{p|Lokix}} against [[Rika]] and her {{p|Clodsire}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}. Initially, Liko and Floragato struggled against Rika's move combinations, but thanks to both her and Katy reminding Liko of the importance of enjoying herself while battling, she regained her composure and Floragato started to battle more effectively. After Lokix gets knocked out, Floragato was left to battle both Clodsire and Dugtrio on her own. Despite her best efforts, even learning a new move in {{m|Acrobatics}}, Floragato was defeated after her Tera-boosted Magical Leaf was overpowered by Clodsire's Tera-boosted {{m|Earth Power}}, resulting in Rika's victory.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Liko Sprigatito angry.png|thumb|left|250px|Sprigatito being easily provoked]]
Floragato has shown to be brave, headstrong, and somewhat reckless. As a Sprigatito, she was not the affectionate type nor an attention-seeker, both traits common of her {{p|Sprigatito|species}}, to the point of being hostile to humans if they tried to display affection. As the time passed, specially since the events of ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', her initial coldness and hostility towards those around her has mellowed out as she became friendlier with people and Pokémon alike, but has not outright disappeared: when she first met [[Diana]] in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle]]'', she tried to scratch her, probably in response to what she was saying. Much like her Trainer, she can be cautious of trusting others, a trait first seen when [[Amethio]] presented himself to them in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', but otherwise has no reservations and can easily make friends.

She has shown to be relaxed and overall unimpressed with various things. She enjoys sunbathing and, as revealed in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', dry-flavored food, with a special liking to matcha, but has been seen enjoying sweets in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]''. In addition, she is easily startled by loud noises and has shown to be easily provokable, as seen during her first training match against [[Captain Pikachu]], in which his {{m|Double Team}} strategy frustrated her. Despite being a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, she doesn't like water.
[[File:Liko and Floragato.png|thumb|250px|Floragato and Liko]]
Initially, Sprigatito was a lot more free-spirited and did not seem interested in [[Liko]] at all, scratching her hand during their first meeting and running off to mind her own business. However, after witnessing the effort her Trainer was putting in order to actually understand her habits, she started to break out of her shell and eventually came to appreciate her affection, allowing Liko to carry her on her arms or taking the initiative to sit on her shoulder or atop her head. Furthermore, upon witnessing the lengths her Trainer was willing to go in order to protect her, even during their initial hardships, such as when they were [[HZ002|falling from a height at the Indigo Academy]] or when [[HZ003|Liko rescued her from the Explorers]], she became very loyal to Liko. Although their bond is pretty strong, she gets upset with her Trainer at times, specially if Liko does something she doesn't like or approve of, but does understand her well-meaning intentions to help their friends.

Ever since her time at [[Manya's house]], Sprigatito was insecure and afraid of her own strength, as she feared causing serious harm to her friends. Liko attributed this reasoning to explain Sprigatito's initial aversion to using Leafage when they first met. However, through Liko's support and encouragement, she let go of her fear and became more confident in herself, coming around to enjoy battling and developing a desire to become stronger.
[[File:Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos.png|thumb|left|250px|Floragato with Hatenna and Terapagos]]
Sprigatito has shown to get jealous of other Pokémon taking or winning Liko's affection and getting along with her, as seen with [[Alex]]'s {{p|Fidough}} in ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'' and {{an|Terapagos}} in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure]]''. However, Sprigatito quickly let go of her envy after she befriended them. Although, when Liko met a wild {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} and took care of her in ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she didn't show any sign of jealousy towards her, as she helped her Trainer look after the Calm Pokémon, which led them to form a close friendship and become teammates when her Trainer {{pkmn2|caught}} her, after encouraging her to stay with them. Ever since Hatenna joined the group, Sprigatito became protective of her, as she came to see her as her little sister and would get concerned when she would wander off on her own, as shown in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she ran away from [[Dot]]'s strong emotions, but was relieved that she was safe when the group found her. They maintain their friendship after they both evolved at differet points.
[[File:Liko Floragato Sharp Fur.png|thumb|250px|Floragato's fur becoming sharp]]
As a Sprigatito, Floragato was capable of releasing a sweet scent from her paws that relaxed those who smelled it. Sunbathing strengthen the power of her sweet scent, as noted by Liko herself. This aroma was strong enough to put [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}} to sleep in the middle of their battle in ''The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)'' and to calm Lucius's {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} down in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''. Moreover, Floragato has shown to be a tactic battler and was specially adept at using her Leafage, and later {{m|Magical Leaf}}, for various purposes. In [[HZ040]], it was revealed that her proficiency with the move had garnered her some popularity around Manya's house even before partnering with Liko. Since becoming her Pokémon, however, Sprigatito gained even more control over Leafage: as of ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', she became able to control its speed, quantity, and power to better suit the situation. Her Leafage can also be used to spread her sweet scent over large areas, as seen in ''Fiery Galarian Moltres'', and to blind opponents, usually in preparation for a sneak attack or for escaping—both applications point to Floragato's natural ingenuity, which matches perfectly with Liko's observational skills, allowing her to circumvent her lack of raw strength.
