'''Clemont's Dedenne''' (Japanese: '''シトロンのデデンネ''' ''Citron's Dedenne'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{an|Clemont}} caught during his journey through [[Kalos]], and his fifth overall. He captured it by {{an|Bonnie}}'s request so she can care for it as she is not yet a [[Pokémon Trainer]].


==History==
'''Clemont's Dedenne''' (Japanese: '''シトロンのデデンネ''' ''Citron's Dedenne'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Clemont}} {{pkmn2|caught}} during his {{pkmn|journey}} through the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his fifth overall. He caught him at {{an|Bonnie}}'s request so she can care for him, as she is not old enough yet to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]].
====As a wild Pokémon====
[[File:Clemont and Dedenne.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont and Dedenne]]
{{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} first encountered Dedenne in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility]]'' during their journey to [[Santalune City]]. Bonnie was eager to care for the cute Pokémon, and asked Clemont if he would catch it for her to allow her to raise and take with her when she was old enough to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Clemont agreed, and Ash helped her; however, Dedenne ran off crying when a {{AP|Fletchling}} stole the berry it had harvested from the tree. After the same Fletchling was captured by Ash, Dedenne was last seen watching the group as they leave.


Soon after, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Dedenne reappeared to the group and stole some food and the gang gave chase. This resulted in {{AP|Pikachu}} getting lost alongside Dedenne. The two became friends, and managed to save each other from {{TRT}}. After reuniting with the group and defeating Team Rocket, Clemont captured Dedenne and then allowed it out of its [[Poké Ball]] so it could stay with Bonnie in her satchel.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} first encountered Dedenne in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility]]'' during their journey to [[Santalune City]]. Bonnie was eager to care for the cute Pokémon, and asked Clemont if he would catch him for her to allow her to raise and take with her when she was old enough to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Clemont agreed, and Ash helped her; however, Dedenne ran off crying when a {{AP|Fletchling}} stole the berry he had harvested from the tree. After Ash caught the same Fletchling, Dedenne was last seen watching the group as they left.


====With Clemont and Bonnie====
Soon after, in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Dedenne reappeared to the group and stole some food, prompting the gang to give chase. This resulted in {{AP|Pikachu}} getting lost alongside Dedenne. The two became friends, and managed to save each other from {{TRT}}. After reuniting with the group and defeating Team Rocket, Clemont caught Dedenne and allowed him out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} to stay with Bonnie in her satchel.
In ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', it used its ability to detect electricity from Pikachu to find him, {{AP|Froakie}}, {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} when the four were separated from their Trainers.


In ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'', {{an|Serena}} gave it a {{p|Spewpa}} disguise to use as bait for [[Dolan]], a [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon buyer]] that the group was trying to take down. However, it proved too small to pass for a Spewpa, so Chespin was volunteered instead.
=====With Clemont and Bonnie=====
In ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', Bonnie used him in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Clemont's Chespin. Due to Chespin being overweight at the time, it tripped during its attack, falling near Dedenne where a single Thunder Shock defeated the {{t|Grass}} type, giving him and Bonnie the win.


In ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', Bonnie used it in a battle against Clemont's Chespin. Due to Chespin being overweight at the time, it tripped during its attack, falling near Dedenne where a single {{m|Thunder Shock}} defeated the {{t|Grass}} type, giving it and Bonnie the win.
In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', while the group was resting at a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Lyn]] took Bonnie's bag, mistaking it for her own since the two bags looked so similar. Since he was resting inside earlier, Dedenne was accidentally taken by Lyn and her older sister [[Lena]]. When he woke up, he accompanied Lyn while she tried to find her {{p|Pichu}}. Lyn also gave him a red ribbon, which was used for identification when she lost Dedenne. When Clemont used his "Radiowave Amplification Device" to amplify Pikachu's energy waves, Dedenne found them and began to follow them to a vineyard where they were both attacked by {{p|Beedrill}}. Though he fought off one of the Beedrill with Thunder Shock, he was attacked by several more. Eventually, he was saved by Pikachu and reunited with Bonnie. He later had dinner with Ash, {{ashfr}}, Lyn and Lena but he was not hungry as Lyn gave him lots of snacks during the day.
[[File:Ash Goodra Clemont Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Dedenne and Goodra]]
In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', Dedenne tried to be friendly to [[Ash's Goomy]], but it was afraid of Dedenne as Goomy, a {{type|Dragon}}, was weak against {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon. Team Rocket showed up and attempted to capture everyone's Pokémon, and were attacked by startled {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Lombre}}, and Dedenne was separated along with Goomy, {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, {{an|Serena}}, and Bonnie. Dedenne tried to give Goomy leaves on the way to help regain its energy, but it was still scared. Later, when Serena was battling Team Rocket with Pancham, he used Nuzzle on Pancham after he got {{status|Confusion|confused}} and, under Bonnie's command, teamed up with Pancham to defeat Team Rocket. Afterwards, he followed Goomy's slimy trail after it ran away, due to the battle reminding it how its original home was destroyed by {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. He traveled through a small hole to reach Goomy, who was about to be captured by Team Rocket. He battled them again, but was almost defeated until Goomy, who saw that Dedenne was trying to help it, used {{m|Rain Dance}}, distracting them long enough for Ash and friends to find them, leading to Team Rocket being defeated once more. Overcoming its fear of Dedenne, Goomy affectionately nibbled on Dedenne's ear, which made Dedenne happy.


In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', while the group was resting at a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Lyn]] took Bonnie's bag, mistaking it for her own since the two bags looked so similar. Since it was resting inside earlier, Dedenne was accidentally taken by Lyn and her older sister [[Lena]]. When it woke up, it accompanied Lyn while she tried to find her {{p|Pichu}}. Lyn also gave it a ribbon, which was used for identification when Lyn lost Dedenne. When Clemont used his "Radiowave Amplification Device" to amplify Pikachu's energy waves, Dedenne found them and began to follow them to a vineyard where they were both attacked by {{p|Beedrill}}. Though it fought off one of the Beedrill with Thunder Shock, it was attacked by several more. Eventually, it was saved by Pikachu and reunited with Bonnie. It later had dinner with Ash, {{ashfr}}, Lyn and Lena but it was not hungry as it was given lots of snacks by Lyn during the day.
Despite officially belonging to Clemont, in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Dedenne stayed with Bonnie when Clemont left for Lumiose City alone.
[[File:Bonnie and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|left|Dedenne and Bonnie]]
In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', Ash and the gang reunited with Goodra at the wetlands. Dedenne was shown to be very excited, as he was the first one to reach Goodra. Later, when Team Rocket trapped six {{p|Carbink}} in one of their cages used to capture Pokémon and was discussing over what to do with them, Dedenne, who was eavesdropping, attempted to free them. He first tried nibbling on the corners of the cage, and when that didn't work, he used Nuzzle to break the cage. Not only did that not work, but the ruckus also attracted the attention of Team Rocket. Team Rocket promptly sent out their Pokémon to chase Dedenne away. Dedenne ran right into Bonnie, who was looking for Dedenne, and upon seeing Team Rocket's Pokémon chasing Dedenne, she ran away and followed Dedenne back to the group. With this, Team Rocket began attacking the wetlands with their Carbink mecha. After defeating Team Rocket and retreating to relax in a cavern pool, Dedenne was shown happily diving off Goodra's head and into the water.


==Personality and characteristics==
In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Dedenne and the rest of Clemont's Pokémon received medals from [[Professor Sycamore]] for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.
[[File:Bonnie and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Bonnie taking care of Dedenne]]
It was made clear in its very first appearance that Dedenne is a gluttonous Pokémon. In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', its desire for a berry was strong enough that it was willing to fight Pikachu over it, and it only approached Bonnie because she had the berry in her hand. It reappeared to the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' to steal food.  Dedenne is also a bit timid, as shown in its debut when it got scared off by Fletchling swooping in. In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Dedenne develops a sibling relationship with Pikachu, whom it looks up to and is impressed by, and it also becomes close to Bonnie, as it is often seen in either her hair or satchel. Dedenne is also prone to sleep while it is conserving its electrical energy, although it does so at the most inconvenient times, such as when it slept during attacks by {{TRT}} in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]'' and ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]''. Dedenne can sometimes be an affectionate Pokémon as shown in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' and ''[[XY022|Going For the Gold!]]'', when Bonnie nuzzles Dedenne, she causes it to use {{m|Nuzzle}}, giving Bonnie a shock. In ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'' it has been shown to be affectionate to others as well.


==Moves used==
In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Dedenne noticed Bonnie feeling sad since the group would soon go on their separate ways. At the airport, while everyone said their goodbyes, Dedenne became upset and ran off. He was eventually located by Pikachu, who used his electricity to track him down and was comforted by Bonnie. Afterward, Dedenne bade farewell to Ash, Pikachu, and Serena.
 
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Dedenne reappeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where he met Ash, his Pokémon, and [[Goh]]. In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Dedenne watched Ash's [[World Coronation Series]] match against [[Drasna]].
 
Dedenne appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.
 
In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'' and ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Dedenne watched Ash's match against {{an|Leon}}.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Pikachu and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Dedenne using his whiskers to communicate with Pikachu]]
[[File:Clemont Dedenne sleeping.png|thumb|left|250px|Dedenne's habit of sleeping]]
His first appearance made it clear that Dedenne is a gluttonous Pokémon. In ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', his desire for a berry was strong enough that he was willing to fight Pikachu over it, and he only approached Bonnie because she had the berry in her hand. He reappeared to the group in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' to steal food. Dedenne is also a bit timid, as shown in his debut when he got upset when Fletchling swooped in and ate the berry Bonnie had for it. In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', although initially unresponsive to her, Dedenne becomes very close to Bonnie, as he is often seen in either her hair or satchel. Dedenne is also prone to sleep while he is conserving his electrical energy. However, he does so at the most inconvenient times, such as when he slept during attacks by {{TRT}} in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]'' and ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]''. However, Dedenne is a competent battler when focused and has no problem taking commands from either his Trainer or carer. Dedenne can sometimes be an affectionate Pokémon as shown in ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'' and ''[[XY022|Going For the Gold!]]'', when Bonnie nuzzles Dedenne, she causes him to use {{m|Nuzzle}}, giving Bonnie a shock. In ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', he is affectionate to others as well.
 
Dedenne has special relationships with a few specific Pokémon. In particular, he has a sibling-like relationship with [[Ash's Pikachu]], looking up to and respecting him. The two of them often communicate using the electrical energy from their cheeks, such as in ''One for the Goomy!''. Since that episode, Dedenne has also had a remarkably strong friendship with [[Ash's Goodra]]. Although the latter was frightened of Dedenne [[XY055|at first]], they became friends once Goodra, as a Goomy, realized how much Dedenne cared about it and was willing to go to any lengths to keep it from harm. Their bond was also shown in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'' when Dedenne hugged Sliggoo after they were reunited, ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', when Goodra shared its food with Dedenne,  ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', when the two of them had to say goodbye to each other, and ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', where the two reunited after Goodra's long absence.

Clemont's Dedenne (Japanese: シトロンのデデンネ Citron's Dedenne) was the first Pokémon that Clemont caught during his journey through the Kalos region, and his fifth overall. He caught him at Bonnie's request so she can care for him, as she is not old enough yet to be a Pokémon Trainer.

History

Pokémon the Series: XY

As a wild Pokémon
Dedenne and Clemont

Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie first encountered Dedenne in A Battle of Aerial Mobility during their journey to Santalune City. Bonnie was eager to care for the cute Pokémon, and asked Clemont if he would catch him for her to allow her to raise and take with her when she was old enough to be a Pokémon Trainer. Clemont agreed, and Ash helped her; however, Dedenne ran off crying when a Fletchling stole the berry he had harvested from the tree. After Ash caught the same Fletchling, Dedenne was last seen watching the group as they left.

Soon after, in A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!, Dedenne reappeared to the group and stole some food, prompting the gang to give chase. This resulted in Pikachu getting lost alongside Dedenne. The two became friends, and managed to save each other from Team Rocket. After reuniting with the group and defeating Team Rocket, Clemont caught Dedenne and allowed him out of his Poké Ball to stay with Bonnie in her satchel.

With Clemont and Bonnie

In An Appetite for Battle!, Bonnie used him in a battle against Clemont's Chespin. Due to Chespin being overweight at the time, it tripped during its attack, falling near Dedenne where a single Thunder Shock defeated the Grass type, giving him and Bonnie the win.

In A Jolting Switcheroo!, while the group was resting at a Pokémon Center, Lyn took Bonnie's bag, mistaking it for her own since the two bags looked so similar. Since he was resting inside earlier, Dedenne was accidentally taken by Lyn and her older sister Lena. When he woke up, he accompanied Lyn while she tried to find her Pichu. Lyn also gave him a red ribbon, which was used for identification when she lost Dedenne. When Clemont used his "Radiowave Amplification Device" to amplify Pikachu's energy waves, Dedenne found them and began to follow them to a vineyard where they were both attacked by Beedrill. Though he fought off one of the Beedrill with Thunder Shock, he was attacked by several more. Eventually, he was saved by Pikachu and reunited with Bonnie. He later had dinner with Ash, his friends, Lyn and Lena but he was not hungry as Lyn gave him lots of snacks during the day.

Dedenne and Goodra

In One for the Goomy!, Dedenne tried to be friendly to Ash's Goomy, but it was afraid of Dedenne as Goomy, a Dragon-type, was weak against Fairy-type Pokémon. Team Rocket showed up and attempted to capture everyone's Pokémon, and were attacked by startled Lotad and Lombre, and Dedenne was separated along with Goomy, Pancham, Serena, and Bonnie. Dedenne tried to give Goomy leaves on the way to help regain its energy, but it was still scared. Later, when Serena was battling Team Rocket with Pancham, he used Nuzzle on Pancham after he got confused and, under Bonnie's command, teamed up with Pancham to defeat Team Rocket. Afterwards, he followed Goomy's slimy trail after it ran away, due to the battle reminding it how its original home was destroyed by Bug-type and Poison-type Pokémon. He traveled through a small hole to reach Goomy, who was about to be captured by Team Rocket. He battled them again, but was almost defeated until Goomy, who saw that Dedenne was trying to help it, used Rain Dance, distracting them long enough for Ash and friends to find them, leading to Team Rocket being defeated once more. Overcoming its fear of Dedenne, Goomy affectionately nibbled on Dedenne's ear, which made Dedenne happy.

Despite officially belonging to Clemont, in The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!, Dedenne stayed with Bonnie when Clemont left for Lumiose City alone.

Dedenne and Bonnie

In A Diamond in the Rough!, Ash and the gang reunited with Goodra at the wetlands. Dedenne was shown to be very excited, as he was the first one to reach Goodra. Later, when Team Rocket trapped six Carbink in one of their cages used to capture Pokémon and was discussing over what to do with them, Dedenne, who was eavesdropping, attempted to free them. He first tried nibbling on the corners of the cage, and when that didn't work, he used Nuzzle to break the cage. Not only did that not work, but the ruckus also attracted the attention of Team Rocket. Team Rocket promptly sent out their Pokémon to chase Dedenne away. Dedenne ran right into Bonnie, who was looking for Dedenne, and upon seeing Team Rocket's Pokémon chasing Dedenne, she ran away and followed Dedenne back to the group. With this, Team Rocket began attacking the wetlands with their Carbink mecha. After defeating Team Rocket and retreating to relax in a cavern pool, Dedenne was shown happily diving off Goodra's head and into the water.

In Battling With a Clean Slate!, Dedenne and the rest of Clemont's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In Till We Compete Again!, Dedenne noticed Bonnie feeling sad since the group would soon go on their separate ways. At the airport, while everyone said their goodbyes, Dedenne became upset and ran off. He was eventually located by Pikachu, who used his electricity to track him down and was comforted by Bonnie. Afterward, Dedenne bade farewell to Ash, Pikachu, and Serena.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Personality and characteristics

Dedenne's habit of sleeping

His first appearance made it clear that Dedenne is a gluttonous Pokémon. In A Battle of Aerial Mobility!, his desire for a berry was strong enough that he was willing to fight Pikachu over it, and he only approached Bonnie because she had the berry in her hand. He reappeared to the group in A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship! to steal food. Dedenne is also a bit timid, as shown in his debut when he got upset when Fletchling swooped in and ate the berry Bonnie had for it. In A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!, although initially unresponsive to her, Dedenne becomes very close to Bonnie, as he is often seen in either her hair or satchel. Dedenne is also prone to sleep while he is conserving his electrical energy. However, he does so at the most inconvenient times, such as when he slept during attacks by Team Rocket in Grooming Furfrou! and Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!. However, Dedenne is a competent battler when focused and has no problem taking commands from either his Trainer or carer. Dedenne can sometimes be an affectionate Pokémon as shown in A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship! and Going For the Gold!, when Bonnie nuzzles Dedenne, she causes him to use Nuzzle, giving Bonnie a shock. In Bonnie for the Defense! and One for the Goomy!, he is affectionate to others as well.

Dedenne has special relationships with a few specific Pokémon. In particular, he has a sibling-like relationship with Ash's Pikachu, looking up to and respecting him. The two of them often communicate using the electrical energy from their cheeks, such as in One for the Goomy!. Since that episode, Dedenne has also had a remarkably strong friendship with Ash's Goodra. Although the latter was frightened of Dedenne at first, they became friends once Goodra, as a Goomy, realized how much Dedenne cared about it and was willing to go to any lengths to keep it from harm. Their bond was also shown in Good Friends, Great Training! when Dedenne hugged Sliggoo after they were reunited, Defending the Homeland!, when Goodra shared its food with Dedenne, Beyond the Rainbow!, when the two of them had to say goodbye to each other, and A Diamond in the Rough!, where the two reunited after Goodra's long absence.
