Dawn's Aipom (Japanese: ヒカリのエイパム Hikari's Eipam) is the only Pokémon to be captured by Ash Ketchum in Pokémon: Battle Frontier; she was captured on the Indigo Plateau. Much later, she was traded to Dawn in exchange for Buizel. She is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō in both English and Japanese.

Aipom was first seen in Slaking Kong, worshiping a giant, mechanical Slaking. However, she also stole Ash's hat, much like Ash's Primeape. Aipom soon reappeared in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In Channeling the Battle Zone, Ash finally captured her.

In Aipom and Circumstance, Aipom became jealous of Ash's Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headwear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of Aipom and Circumstance; while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers, May said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?. In DP048, Dawn also explicitly calls Aipom a girl, and in the dub of Steamboat Willies, both Aipom and Buneary are refered to as girls, confirming them to be female.

Aipom enjoys participating in Pokémon Contests. Her interest was first perked in Thinning the Hoard where she took an interest in May's battle with Harley. Aipom also watched her battle with Drew before enticing Ash into catching her. In Mounting a Coordinator Assault, Aipom was entered into her first contest with Ash. They got through the Appeal Round but lost the first battle round to Zoey and her Glameow. In DP022, Aipom entered an unofficial contest under the command of Jessie and won against Dawn's Pachirisu. Zoey suggested that Ash give Aipom to Dawn.

While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her Poké Ball, in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.

In order to bring back Torkoal to battle Brandon's Registeel, Ash sent Aipom to Professor Oak, where Aipom had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to the new environment and lack of Ash. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.

When Ash left for Sinnoh, leaving all his Pokémon but Pikachu behind as he did when leaving for Hoenn, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey.

During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom has defeated Paul's Chimchar in battle and helped Ash capture his Starly. Ash also used her in both of his gym battles.

Aipom put up a fight against Roark's Cranidos in Ash's first match, however, she lost. In their rematch she fought Geodude. she also fought in Ash's second Gym Battle as well, going against Gardenia's Roserade, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his Forest Badge.

In DP055, Ash began the training for his next Gym Battle. However, Dawn's Buizel seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set its mind on Dawn's training; meanwhile Ash's Aipom appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because it tended to be more interested in Dawn's Contest training. Then Zoey proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the trainers agreed, and the trade took place.

It is speculated that in DP060, Aipom or Chimchar will evolve.
