History

Ruby & Sapphire arc

As a Skitty

Prior to the start of the series Kiki was given to Ruby as a Skitty as a gift from his father, Norman. One day when Ruby was playing with Sapphire a Salamence attacked them and Ruby sent out Kiki, Nana, and Rara to fend it off. The three managed to scare it away, but Ruby got injured in the process, which scared Sapphire. Because of this incident Ruby decided to never battle in front of people again.

Kiki first appeared as a Skitty in Creeping Past Cacnea, where she was seen with Ruby on his trip to Hoenn. After running away from home Ruby was almost caught by his father while he was helping Wally catch a Pokémon, but was saved by Kiki's Safeguard.

In Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt II, Kiki was sent out when a wild Crawdaunt attacked Mr. Briney. His Peeko was unable to battle after her beak was shattered due to Crawdaunt's Shell Armor Ability. After Mr. Briney passed out Kiki was able to defeat the Crawdaunt by spinning around to avoid damage and increase the chance of activating her Cute Charm Ability. After Crawdaunt was infatuated Kiki slammed into it with a Double-Edge.

Cute Charm activated, as a Skitty

In Guile from Mawile, Ruby went into Granite Cave in order to find a Milotic. During the trip he is attacked by a group of Mawile and in the fight Kiki and Nana both evolve.

In Hanging Around With Slaking I, Kiki fought alongside Nana against Norman and his Slaking and Vigoroth. Nana fired a Hyper Beam while Kiki attacked with Iron Tail. Despite their strength, Kiki and Nana were easily swept away due to the fact that Norman knew all of Ruby's strategies, as he was the one to teach them to him.

In Mind-Boggling with Medicham, Kiki advanced Ruby through the Normal Rank of the Cuteness Contest. In Going to Eleven with Loudred & Exploud I, Kiki is used alongside Ruby's other Pokémon to battle against Courtney and her Ninetales. Although Ruby had a five to one advantage his team was beaten due to Ninetales having control of nine different fireballs.

In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X, Kiki, alongside Ruby and Sapphire's other Pokémon, are used to battle against Archie and Maxie. Kiki was seen charging at Maxie's Camerupt but was pushed back by Eruption.

In It All Ends Now VIII, Kiki is shown to have won the Master Rank of the Cuteness Contest, wearing a Pink Scarf.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

In Omega Alpha Adventure 7, Kiki appeared alongside the rest of Ruby's team when he was checking to make sure they all survived the crash caused by the Draconid people.

Personality and characteristics

Kiki has shown to have a naive and innocent personality, and as a Skitty was a little ditsy. Much like Ruby she is flashy, loves to show off her looks, and hates getting dirty. Despite Ruby's distaste towards battling Kiki is a very powerful battler. She has also been shown to get seasick and has a habit of chasing her tail.
