Luvdisc is seen as symbol of love and romance; loving couples gave this Pokémon its name after spotting it in the ocean waters. It is said that any couple who sees a Luvdisc will be blessed with eternal love, thus honeymoon hotels usually release this Pokémon into their pools. A tradition in some places is to gift a Luvdisc to a person someone loves. At one point in the past, Luvdisc was overfished due to a rumor that its scales would allow one to find their sweetheart.

[[Wallace]] has a Luvdisc [[nickname]]d Elizabeth, which debuted in ''[[PS222|Short Shift for Shiftry]]''. She is usually shown [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]], floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} to test {{adv|Ruby}}'s worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top Contest Pokémon, excluding [[Feefee]], in an unofficial Contest in a matter of minutes.

[[Wallace]] has a Luvdisc [[nickname]]d Elizabeth, which debuted in ''[[PS222|Short Shrift for Shiftry]]''. She is usually shown [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]], floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Anorith}} to test {{adv|Ruby}}'s worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top Contest Pokémon, excluding [[Feefee]], in an unofficial Contest in a matter of minutes.
Wallace's mentor [[Juan]] uses a pair of Luvdisc that first appeared in ''[[PS256|With a Spoink in Your Step II]]''. They observe him as he trained Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}}.

* Luvdisc has no [[Egg Moves]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} prior to Version 2.0.1. This was presumably unintentional, as it regained them in said version. The same situation occurred with {{p|Cacnea}} and [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Grimer}}.

Luvdisc (Japanese: ラブカス Lovecus) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Luvdisc is a fishlike Pokémon with a relatively flat body in the shape of a heart. It is primarily light pink, with pale lips and circular markings on its cheeks. Its body is covered in heart-shaped scales.

Luvdisc lives in shallow tropical warm seas, where it makes its nest in the branches of Corsola or coral reefs. During its breeding season, it forms groups that turn the ocean's surface bright pink. As shown in Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!, when two Luvdisc kiss, they are able to use their slender bodies as wings in order to fly for short periods of time. If a Luvdisc is left alone, it becomes disheartened and open to attacks from predators, such as Pelipper.

Luvdisc is seen as symbol of love and romance; loving couples gave this Pokémon its name after spotting it in the ocean waters. It is said that any couple who sees a Luvdisc will be blessed with eternal love, thus honeymoon hotels usually release this Pokémon into their pools. A tradition in some places is to gift a Luvdisc to a person someone loves. At one point in the past, Luvdisc was overfished due to a rumor that its scales would allow one to find their sweetheart.

Pokémon Adventures

Wallace has a Luvdisc nicknamed Elizabeth, which debuted in Short Shrift for Shiftry. She is usually shown outside of her Poké Ball, floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a Lileep and Anorith to test Ruby's worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top Contest Pokémon, excluding Feefee, in an unofficial Contest in a matter of minutes.

Wallace's mentor Juan uses a pair of Luvdisc that first appeared in With a Spoink in Your Step II. They observe him as he trained Ruby and Sapphire.

Trivia

Origin

Luvdisc is based on the discus fish and certain other species of fish that appear to kiss each other, such as the kissing gourami. It is shaped like a heart symbol. Its Shiny coloration may reference the idiom "heart of gold", which describes a loving or caring attitude, being completely without malice.

Name origin

Luvdisc and Lovecus may be a combination of love and discus.
