Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Serebii) is a Legendary Psychic/Grass-type Pokémon, first appearing in Generation II. It has only been officially available in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal (via Nintendo's Mobile System GB service, which was discontinued on December 14, 2002) and through the Japanese Pokémon Colosseum bonus disk, as well as various promotional events.

Celebi comes with the ability Natural Cure, which heals a status ailment when the Pokémon is withdrawn from battle.

Celebi does not evolve and is the last Pokémon in both the Johto Dex and National Dex within Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antenna that are tipped blue.

Gender differences

Celebi is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Celebi has the power to travel through time. Celebi can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to Meganium). Celebi mainly attacks with suprisingly powerful Grass and Psychic attacks.

Behavior

Celebi, like Mew, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, despite their awesome power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods.

Habitat

Forest Pokémon

Because Celebi travels time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and guardian of the forest.

Celebi in the anime

Celebi first appeared in Pokémon 4Ever. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him; taking the young Sammy Oak along with it. Vicious eventually captured the Time traveling Pokémon in a Dark Ball and used it to destroy the forest. Ash and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of The Iron Masked Maruader's control.

Celebi also made an appearance in Pokémon Chronicles. In Celebi and Joy, Celebi took Ritchie back in time to help stop the destruction of a Pokémon Center.

Celebi also appeared in Green Guardian. The Pokémon Ranger, Solana accompanied Ash and friends in helping the Time Traveling Pokémon.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Ruby has a Celebi that he tries to keep secret from everyone. Then, when relased in the end of RS Saga, it revives Norman and Steven.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:

• Unlock all 25 characters
• Unlock all 29 stages
• Beat all 51 events
• Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs.)

It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Trivia

• Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 Generation II Pokémon that wasn't used in the Johto Pokérap.

Origin

It may be based on a fairy or dryad.

Name origin

Celebi's name may be a combination of celestial and being. Celebi's Japanese name may be taken to be a combination of the English serenity and the Japanese bii, which translates to beautiful. It may also come from celery, due to the fact that Celebi is a Grass-type. It is interesting to note the similarity between "Celebi" and "telebi," the Japanese word for "television."
