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

History

As a wild Pokémon

Clemont and Dedenne

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 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 Fletchling stole the food it was being offered. After the same Fletchling was captured by Ash, Dedenne was last seen watching the group as they leave.

Soon after, in A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!, Dedenne reappeared to the group and stole some food and the gang gave 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 captured Dedenne and then allowed it out of its Poké Ball so it could stay with Bonnie in her satchel.

With Clemont and Bonnie

In The Bamboozling Forest!, it used its ability to detect electricity from Pikachu to find him, Froakie, Fennekin, and Chespin when the four were separated from their Trainers.

In To Catch a Pokémon Monster!, Serena gave it a Spewpa disguise to use as bait for Daz, a 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.

In XY015, 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 Thunder Shock defeated the grass-type, giving it and Bonnie the win.

Personality and characteristics

Bonnie taking care of Dedenne

It was made clear in its very first appearance that Dedenne is a gluttonous Pokémon. In 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 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 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 at the most inconvenient times, such as when it slept during attacks by Team Rocket in Grooming Furfrou! and Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!.
