'''Ash's Unfezant''' (Japanese: '''サトシのケンホロウ''' ''Satoshi's Kenhallow'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] region.
'''Ash's Unfezant''' (Japanese: '''サトシのケンホロウ''' ''Satoshi's Kenhallow'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and his thirty-fifth overall.
 
==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
[[File:Ash Pidove being caught.png|thumb|left|250px|Pidove being caught]]  
In prior [[region|regions]], Ash always caught a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon early in his {{pkmn|journey}}. He continued this trend with Unfezant as a Pidove, who was captured soon after he arrived in Unova. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', shortly after a flock of Pidove escaped when Ash failed to capture one of them, he noticed her pecking at the ground and engaged her in a battle. She managed to put up a good fight against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until the {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon used his powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks, which caused her to faint. Ash threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} and successfully caught her. Later on, for the first time, Pidove was sent out to save Pikachu and [[Iris's Axew]] from {{TRT}}'s capture. However, as she was still weak from her battle with Pikachu, she was quickly defeated by a powerful Gust attack from [[Jessie's Woobat]]. She was later healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], along with Pikachu and Axew.
 
Ash occasionally used Pidove to find and track certain Pokémon. She helped Ash find two {{p|Darumaka}}  in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' and a wild {{AP|Snivy}} in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', playing a dominant role in the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon's capture. At the time, Pidove had followed Snivy after she escaped using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. As she witnessed all of Ash's other Pokémon (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}}) fall to the Grass Snake Pokémon's {{m|Attract}} technique, she volunteered to battle Snivy. When Snivy attempted to use Attract on Pidove, Pidove was unaffected as she was female (a fact of which Ash had been completely unaware, despite Iris and Cilan's assumptions that it was his strategy). After a hard-fought battle, Pidove weakened Snivy enough for her to be captured by Ash.
 
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', she was briefly used by Ash in a 5-on-5 battle against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Frillish}}. She tried her best, but after her Air Cutter attack was blocked by {{m|Protect}}, she was taken by surprise by his {{m|Water Pulse}} and got knocked out in the process.
[[File:Ash Tranquil teaching Archeops.png|thumb|250px|Tranquill teaching Archen how to fly]]
In ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', Pidove was transferred to [[Professor Juniper]] shortly after Ash captured {{AP|Sewaddle}}, although it would not be revealed until the [[BW019|following episode]]. She would return to his team three episodes later in a ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where Ash used her to help send the {{p|Venipede}} that took over [[Castelia City]] to the park in the center of the city. Although things started well, she was almost hit by a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and was only just saved by an Air Cutter from Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}. She then helped remove a few more and suddenly evolved into Tranquill herself. As a result of her stronger form, Tranquill cleared out the last Venipede with a powerful Gust alongside help from Trip's Tranquill and its Aerial Ace attacks.
 
In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', Tranquill was used to help a newly revived {{p|Archen}} learn how to fly. After Archen evolved into {{p|Archeops}}, Tranquill defended her from Team Rocket, and they said their goodbyes up in the air once Archeops found some others.
[[File:Ash Unfezant vs Skyla Swanna.png|thumb|left|250px|Unfezant battling Skyla's Swanna]]
Ash used Tranquill to battle [[Skyla]] in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]''. She was first sent out to battle {{p|Swoobat}} who had already defeated {{AP|Krokorok}} before her. After their Gust and Air Cutter attacks proved to be dead even, the battle took to the sky, where Tranquill tried to get the upper hand with her recently learned move, Wing Attack. However, Swoobat was able to swiftly dodge the barrage of Wing Attacks until Tranquill's powerful Air Cutter attacks finally beat it as they descended to the ground. She then fought Skyla's {{p|Unfezant}}. Still, with none of her attacks even touching Unfezant due to her lack of speed, Tranquill started to show signs of tiring after narrowly escaping a barrage of {{m|Air Slash}} attacks and was called back to her Poké Ball while {{AP|Pikachu}} took her place. She was brought back out again after Pikachu had lost to [[Skyla's Swanna]]. During the battle with Swanna, she was able to hit it with a powerful Quick Attack and Air Cutter, causing Swanna to fall towards the Gym; she then rushed past Swanna and tried to hit it with Gust. However, Gust was vastly overpowered by Swanna's {{m|Hurricane}} attack. While it seemed like Tranquill had been knocked out, she began to glow and evolved into Unfezant. With her newfound power and speed, she was easily able to dodge Swanna's powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attacks and, with the help of her newly learned Aerial Ace attack, was able to defeat Swanna with one extremely powerful hit, winning her the battle and earning Ash his sixth Unova {{Badge|Jet|Badge}}.


==History==
In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'', Ash sent Unfezant out as his second Pokémon in his 6-on-3 Gym battle against [[Roxie]], where she faced Roxie's {{p|Koffing}}. Unfezant started the round with a Quick Attack that made a direct hit. Koffing attacked with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, but Unfezant sent it back with a Gust before attacking with Air Cutter. Koffing, however, avoided the attack and launched a {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, which hit and {{status|poison}}ed Unfezant. Though she was weakened, Unfezant was able to withstand Koffing's {{m|Clear Smog}} and fight back. She was, however, unable to stand two consecutive {{m|Gyro Ball}}s and was finally taken down.

[[File:Ash and Unfezant.png|thumb|250px|Unfezant and Ash]]
As he has done in every other region he has traveled in before, Ash usually catches a {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon early in his journey. Pidove was caught soon after Ash's arrival in Unova. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', shortly after a flock of Pidove had escaped when Ash had failed to capture one of them, he noticed her pecking at the ground, and engaged her in a battle. She managed to put up a good fight against [[Ash's Pikachu]], until the {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon used his powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks, which caused her to faint. Ash threw a [[Poké Ball]] and successfully caught her. Later on, for the first time, Pidove was sent out in an effort to save Pikachu and [[Iris's Axew]] from {{TRT}}'s capture. However, as she was still weak from her battle with Pikachu, she was quickly defeated by [[Jessie's Woobat]]'s powerful {{m|Air Slash}} attack. She was later healed at the [[Pokémon Center]], along with Pikachu and Axew.
In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Ash used Unfezant along with Pikachu to battle the {{an|forces of nature}} after {{an|Giovanni}} took control of them to keep Ash and friends occupied. After [[Iris's Dragonite]] was injured and fell to the ground, Unfezant and Pikachu managed to save {{an|Iris}} and Dragonite from being attacked by {{DL|Forces of nature (anime)|Thundurus}}. When {{an|Meloetta}} was finally freed from the tomb, Unfezant grabbed it so it didn't fall and get hurt.


Tranquill is occasionally used by Ash to find and track certain Pokémon. She helped Ash find two {{p|Darumaka}}  in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' and a wild {{AP|Snivy}} in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', playing a dominant role in the {{t|Grass}} Pokémon's capture. At the time, Pidove had followed Snivy throughout from the time she escaped using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. As she witnessed all of Ash's other Pokémon ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Tepig}}) fall to the Grass Snake Pokémon's {{m|Attract}}, she volunteers to battle Snivy. When Snivy attempted to use Attract on Pidove, Pidove was unaffected as she was female (a fact of which Ash had been completely unaware of, despite Iris and Cilan's assumptions that it was his strategy). After a hard-fought battle, Pidove weakened Snivy enough for her to be captured by Ash.
In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Unfezant in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{un|Cameron}} and his {{TP|Cameron|Riolu}}. Despite Unfezant having the type advantage, Riolu proved to be a powerful opponent, being able to dodge both Gust and Quick Attack before landing on Unfezant's back and serving a close-range hit with {{m|Force Palm}}. Ash told Unfezant to shake Riolu off and strike back with an Air Cutter. However, the Emanation Pokémon was able to dodge the attack and then use {{m|Copycat}}, hitting Unfezant with her own move before serving another hit with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}. Unfezant tried to attack with Aerial Ace, but the Flying-type's last effort was avoided and countered by Riolu's {{m|Circle Throw}}, which sent Unfezant flying into the arena wall, knocking her out.


[[File:Ash Tranquill.png|thumb|220px|As a Tranquill]]
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash sent Unfezant to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to make room in his team for his returning {{AP|Charizard}}, rotating her out of the team for the rest of the series.
In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' she was briefly used by Ash in a 5-on-5 battle against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Frillish}}. She tried her best but was taken by surprise by his {{m|Water Pulse}}, and got knocked out in the process.


In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', Ash used her to help send the {{p|Venipede}} that took over [[Castelia City]] to the park in the center of the city. Although things started well, she was almost hit by a {{m|Sludge Bomb}} and was only just saved by an {{m|Air Cutter}} from Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}. She then helped remove a few more and then suddenly evolved into Tranquill herself. As a result of her new stronger form, Tranquill was able to clear out the last Venipede with a powerful {{m|Gust}} alongside help from Trip's Tranquill's {{m|Aerial Ace}} attacks.
She reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. Unfezant joined them to launch a group attack on Team Rocket, using Air Cutter to send them blasting off for the final time in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Unfezant later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region.


In ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', Tranquill was used to help a newly revived female {{p|Archen}} learn how to fly. After Archen evolved into {{p|Archeops}}, Tranquill defended her from Team Rocket and they said their goodbyes, up in the air, once Archeops found some others.
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Ash Unova Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|left|Unfezant encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]
Ash used Tranquill to battle [[Skyla]] in [[BW068]]. She was first sent out to battle {{p|Swoobat}} who had already defeated {{AP|Krokorok}} before her. After their {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Air Cutter}} attacks proved to be dead even, the battle took to the sky where Tranquill tried to get the upper hand with her newly learned {{m|Wing Attack}}, however Swoobat was able to swiftly dodge the barrage of Wing Attacks until finally it was beaten by Tranquill's powerful Air Cutter attacks, as they descended to the ground. She then fought Skyla's {{p|Unfezant}}, but with none of her attacks even touching Unfezant due to her lack of speed, Tranquill started to show signs of tiring after narrowingly escaping a barrage of {{m|Air Slash}} attacks and was called back to her Poké Ball, while {{AP|Pikachu}} took her place. She was brought back out again after Pikachu had lost to Skyla's {{p|Swanna}} despite having the type-advantage. During the battle with Swanna, she was able to hit Swanna with a powerful {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Air Cutter}} causing Swanna to fall towards the Gym; she then rushed passed Swanna and tried to hit it with {{m|Gust}}, however Gust was vastly overpowered by Swanna's {{m|Hurricane}} attack. While it seemed as if Tranquill had been knocked out, she began to glow and evolved into {{p|Unfezant}}. With her new found power and speed, she was easily able to dodge Swanna's powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attacks and with the help of her newly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}} attack, was able to defeat Swanna with one extremely powerful hit, winning her the battle and earning Ash his sixth Unova {{Badge|Jet|Badge}}.
Unfezant, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, she helped train [[Ash's Dragonite]] and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, she posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.


==Personality and characteristics==
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Unfezant watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} and {{an|Cynthia}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Unfezant appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]].
[[File:Ash and Tranquill.png|thumb|220px|Ash and Tranquill]]
Unfezant has been shown to be a helpful Pokémon such as when Ash needs help dealing with Team Rocket or when he needs her to search for a Pokémon. She also has been shown to go the extra mile when helping with training, such as when {{p|Archen}} needed help with her flying skills. Unfezant isn't a confrontational Pokémon, not even fighting back when attacked by [[Ash's Scraggy]] instead choosing to freak out and run away from him and, in the same instance, is shown to be rather sensitive. Unfezant is also shown to be quite confident, as shown in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where she took no hesitation in trying to clear [[Castelia City]] from the group of {{p|Venipede}}. After evolving into Unfezant and beating [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Swanna}} in [[BW068]], she excitedly celebrated by doing a couple of victory laps above the Gym.


==Moves used==
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Unfezant, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

History

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Pidove being caught

In prior regions, Ash always caught a Flying-type Pokémon early in his journey. He continued this trend with Unfezant as a Pidove, who was captured soon after he arrived in Unova. In Enter Iris and Axew!, shortly after a flock of Pidove escaped when Ash failed to capture one of them, he noticed her pecking at the ground and engaged her in a battle. She managed to put up a good fight against Ash's Pikachu until the Electric Mouse Pokémon used his powerful Iron Tail and Thunderbolt attacks, which caused her to faint. Ash threw a Poké Ball and successfully caught her. Later on, for the first time, Pidove was sent out to save Pikachu and Iris's Axew from Team Rocket's capture. However, as she was still weak from her battle with Pikachu, she was quickly defeated by a powerful Gust attack from Jessie's Woobat. She was later healed at the Pokémon Center, along with Pikachu and Axew.

Ash occasionally used Pidove to find and track certain Pokémon. She helped Ash find two Darumaka in Saving Darmanitan From the Bell! and a wild Snivy in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!, playing a dominant role in the Grass Pokémon's capture. At the time, Pidove had followed Snivy after she escaped using Leaf Storm. As she witnessed all of Ash's other Pokémon (Pikachu, Oshawott, and Tepig) fall to the Grass Snake Pokémon's Attract technique, she volunteered to battle Snivy. When Snivy attempted to use Attract on Pidove, Pidove was unaffected as she was female (a fact of which Ash had been completely unaware, despite Iris and Cilan's assumptions that it was his strategy). After a hard-fought battle, Pidove weakened Snivy enough for her to be captured by Ash.

In A Rival Battle for Club Champ!, she was briefly used by Ash in a 5-on-5 battle against Trip's Frillish. She tried her best, but after her Air Cutter attack was blocked by Protect, she was taken by surprise by his Water Pulse and got knocked out in the process.

Tranquill teaching Archen how to fly

In Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!, Pidove was transferred to Professor Juniper shortly after Ash captured Sewaddle, although it would not be revealed until the following episode. She would return to his team three episodes later in a A Venipede Stampede!, where Ash used her to help send the Venipede that took over Castelia City to the park in the center of the city. Although things started well, she was almost hit by a Sludge Bomb and was only just saved by an Air Cutter from Trip's Tranquill. She then helped remove a few more and suddenly evolved into Tranquill herself. As a result of her stronger form, Tranquill cleared out the last Venipede with a powerful Gust alongside help from Trip's Tranquill and its Aerial Ace attacks.

In Archeops In The Modern World!, Tranquill was used to help a newly revived Archen learn how to fly. After Archen evolved into Archeops, Tranquill defended her from Team Rocket, and they said their goodbyes up in the air once Archeops found some others.

Unfezant battling Skyla's Swanna

Ash used Tranquill to battle Skyla in An Amazing Aerial Battle!. She was first sent out to battle Swoobat who had already defeated Krokorok before her. After their Gust and Air Cutter attacks proved to be dead even, the battle took to the sky, where Tranquill tried to get the upper hand with her recently learned move, Wing Attack. However, Swoobat was able to swiftly dodge the barrage of Wing Attacks until Tranquill's powerful Air Cutter attacks finally beat it as they descended to the ground. She then fought Skyla's Unfezant. Still, with none of her attacks even touching Unfezant due to her lack of speed, Tranquill started to show signs of tiring after narrowly escaping a barrage of Air Slash attacks and was called back to her Poké Ball while Pikachu took her place. She was brought back out again after Pikachu had lost to Skyla's Swanna. During the battle with Swanna, she was able to hit it with a powerful Quick Attack and Air Cutter, causing Swanna to fall towards the Gym; she then rushed past Swanna and tried to hit it with Gust. However, Gust was vastly overpowered by Swanna's Hurricane attack. While it seemed like Tranquill had been knocked out, she began to glow and evolved into Unfezant. With her newfound power and speed, she was easily able to dodge Swanna's powerful Brave Bird attacks and, with the help of her newly learned Aerial Ace attack, was able to defeat Swanna with one extremely powerful hit, winning her the battle and earning Ash his sixth Unova Badge.

In Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1, Ash sent Unfezant out as his second Pokémon in his 6-on-3 Gym battle against Roxie, where she faced Roxie's Koffing. Unfezant started the round with a Quick Attack that made a direct hit. Koffing attacked with Will-O-Wisp, but Unfezant sent it back with a Gust before attacking with Air Cutter. Koffing, however, avoided the attack and launched a Sludge Bomb, which hit and poisoned Unfezant. Though she was weakened, Unfezant was able to withstand Koffing's Clear Smog and fight back. She was, however, unable to stand two consecutive Gyro Balls and was finally taken down.

Unfezant and Ash

In Unova's Survival Crisis!, Ash used Unfezant along with Pikachu to battle the forces of nature after Giovanni took control of them to keep Ash and friends occupied. After Iris's Dragonite was injured and fell to the ground, Unfezant and Pikachu managed to save Iris and Dragonite from being attacked by Thundurus. When Meloetta was finally freed from the tomb, Unfezant grabbed it so it didn't fall and get hurt.

In Cameron's Secret Weapon!, Ash used Unfezant in his Vertress Conference battle against Cameron and his Riolu. Despite Unfezant having the type advantage, Riolu proved to be a powerful opponent, being able to dodge both Gust and Quick Attack before landing on Unfezant's back and serving a close-range hit with Force Palm. Ash told Unfezant to shake Riolu off and strike back with an Air Cutter. However, the Emanation Pokémon was able to dodge the attack and then use Copycat, hitting Unfezant with her own move before serving another hit with Vacuum Wave. Unfezant tried to attack with Aerial Ace, but the Flying-type's last effort was avoided and countered by Riolu's Circle Throw, which sent Unfezant flying into the arena wall, knocking her out.

In The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!, Ash sent Unfezant to Professor Oak's Laboratory to make room in his team for his returning Charizard, rotating her out of the team for the rest of the series.

She reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in The Dream Continues!. Unfezant joined them to launch a group attack on Team Rocket, using Air Cutter to send them blasting off for the final time in Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Unfezant later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, she was left at the lab when Ash set off for the Kalos region.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Unfezant encouraging Pikachu in a vision

Unfezant, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!. During the visit, she helped train Ash's Dragonite and later watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, she posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

From Battling as Hard as Stone! onwards, Unfezant watched Ash's Masters Eight Tournament matches against Steven and Cynthia. In Partners in Time!, Unfezant appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's Charizard.

In Heroes Unite!, Unfezant, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

In The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Unfezant assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.

Personality and characteristics

Unfezant is a helpful Pokémon, such as when Ash needs help dealing with Team Rocket or when he needs her to search for a Pokémon. She also goes the extra mile when helping with training, such as when Archen needed help with her flying skills. Unfezant isn't a confrontational Pokémon, not even fighting back when attacked by Ash's Scraggy, instead choosing to freak out and run away from him and, in the same instance, is rather sensitive.

Unfezant is also quite confident, as shown in A Venipede Stampede!, where she took no hesitation in trying to clear Castelia City from the group of Venipede. After evolving into Unfezant and beating Skyla's Swanna in An Amazing Aerial Battle!, she celebrated by doing a couple of victory laps above the Gym. During her time at Professor Oak’s lab, Unfezant befriended Ash's Flying-type Pokémon and can usually be seen hanging out with them.
