Serena's Pancham (Japanese: セレナのヤンチャム Serena's Yancham) is the first Pokémon caught by Serena and her second overall.
History
Pancham first appeared in Dreaming a Performer's Dream!. It interrupted a performance by a Pokémon Performer called Kayleigh, at a Rookie Class Pokémon Showcase. Serena, who was in the crowd, watched Pancham with interest. Pancham proceeded to jump to the ceiling, grabbing a stage lamp. However, the lamp broke and Pancham fell on the stage. Pancham proceeded to cause trouble, disabling the security personnel by pushing a freight trolly in to them. It then ran off, exiting the building. Outside, it threw a stick on Clemont's Chespin's head, afterwards taunting it. This made Chespin angry, and it ran after Pancham, who ran towards a forest. Ash and his friends also followed it. When Ash started calling for Pancham, it jumped out of a tree, stealing Ash's hat. Afterwards it also managed to steal Clemont's glasses and ran off again.
Serena then spotted it at a river and watched how it danced and performed. As such she figured Pancham loved performing. Serena then showed herself to Pancham, but this caused it to run off again. Serena discovered its hideout, and found out it had collected many items it used for performing. Serena offered it a pair of her own sunglasses, but it acted indifferent to this. It ran off once more and later fell asleep in an open field. There, it was found by Ash, Clemont and Bonnie, who woke it up and forced it to return their belongings. However, Serena came running in, announcing she wanted to catch it. She told the group about Pancham's passion for performing, and thought it had just wanted to show its performance to the crowd at the Pokémon Showcase earlier. Pancham accepted Serena's request to battle it, so she could try to catch it.
Pancham battled against Serena's Fennekin. But just as the battle started, Fennekin was stolen by Team Rocket. Pancham stood up and battled Team Rocket for interrupting its battle with Serena. It later saved Serena when Jessie's Pumpkaboo attacked her. After Team Rocket was blasted off, its battle against Serena's Fennekin continued. Fennekin managed to temporally stun it, and Serena then threw a Poké Ball at Pancham, but the capture was not successful. After weakening it some more, she tried again, and this time Pancham was successfully caught. Afterwards, Serena gave Pancham the sunglasses she had offered it earlier.
In Pathways to Performance Partnering!, Pancham constantly quarreled with Clemont's Chespin, after Chespin ate all the Poképuffs. While fighting against each other they accidently disturbed Nini training with her Smoochum and Farfetch'd for her upcoming Pokémon Showcase. When Nini learned Serena was a Pokémon Performer as well she wanted Serena to show her performance. Seeing Serena's Pancham dance and her Smoochum having a crush on Pancham, Nini wanted to trade a Pokémon for Pancham, but Serena declined. A disguised Team Rocket then appeared and managed to steal Pancham, Chespin, Fennekin, Smoochum and Farfetch'd. While trapped inside of a ball, Pancham and Chespin again quarreled causing them to escape from the ball. Team Rocket however quickly found them again and managed to injure Fennekin, Smoochum and Farfetch'd forcing Pancham and Chespin to work together. Eventually they got reunited with their Trainers and together Pancham and Chespin defeated Team Rocket. Although it seemed the two finally understood each other Pancham and Chespin quickly began to quarrel again after the battle.
In XY060 it watched its trainer, as well as Shauna at the Pokémon Showcase. It, Fennekin, and Serena were very excited for Shauna when she passed the first round. It then watched as its trainer and Fennekin did their first round performance, seeming very impressed with the way Serena styled Fennekin, and shocked when Fennekin tripped ruining her outfit. It was then seen backstage worried about Serena. The next morning Serena was seen out on the pier with Pancham and Fennekin, where she burst into tears, upset about her loss as her Pokémon jumped into her arms and comforted her. With the help of her Pokémon Serena cheered up and then began cutting her hair. Pancham and Fennekin were seen at the end of the episode presenting Serena's new style to Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, and Bonnie.
Personality and characteristics
At first, Pancham was shown to be very mischievous, causing chaos at a Pokémon Showcase, taunting Clemont's Chespin, and stealing Ash and Clemont's belongings. However, Serena discovered it acted this way because it loved performing. It also appeared indifferent at first at Serena's attempts to become friendly with it. Later, it was shown to be courageous, challenging Team Rocket because they interrupted its battle with Serena. After Serena caught it, Pancham was shown to be friendly to her and looking forward to performing with her in Pokémon Showcases.
Pancham is easily annoyed, as shown in Pathways to Performance Partnering! and A Race for Home! where it quickly got into a fight with Clemont's Chespin and in One for the Goomy! where it was annoyed by Ash's Goomy nibbling on it and its sunglasses.
