History

File:Soudo Ransun Farfetch'd.png

As a Farfetch'd

One year prior to the start of the Sword & Shield arc, Sōdo owned Ransun as a Farfetch'd. While traveling to visit the Slumbering Weald, the two met Shirudomiria, who wanted to find a Wishing Star. Farfetch'd immediately took off to find it, and by the time the two Trainers caught up with him, the Wild Duck Pokémon had found two of them.

Ransun first appeared in PASS01, rescuing a young boy named Marvin from falling off a cliff. After Marvin recovers, Sirfetch'd was used in a mock Raid Battle to help teach Marvin about battling. After Sōdo's Grookey and Shirudomiria's Scorbunny's opened it up Marvin had Sirfetch'd attack with Meteor Assault, defeating the Daunting Pokémon. Later that day, Sirfetch'd was used to scare away an Obstagoon that was causing Wooloo to leave their pen. Sōdo hoped the battle was impressive enough to have Leon endorse him for the Gym Challenge.

In PASS04, Sōdo decided to give his team nicknames in order to distinguish them from other Pokémon of the same species. Choosing to name them after the gear they used, Sirfetch'd was called Ransun. Later during the day, a pair of Team Yell Grunts tried to destroy the new uniforms that Sōdo and Shirudomiria received. Ransun, along with Scorbunny, distracted them long enough for Sutikkun to drive them near a Pokémon Den. This allowed his Trainer to push the grunts into it and force them into a Max Raid Battle against a wild Gurdurr. Working together, the four were able to defeat the Gurdurr, where he was caught by Sōdo and named Tekkotsun.

Ransun Dynamaxed

Ransun was used as Sōdo's second Pokémon in his gym battle against Milo in PASS06, going up against his Dynamaxed Eldegoss. Ransun dodged a powerful Max Overgrowth before Dynamaxing himself. At first, Ransun struggled to damage the Cotton Bloom Pokémon, due to its cotton fluff protecting its head and the cotton spreading around the battlefield, reducing Ransun's field of vision. Using the fluff to his advantage, Ransun waited for the right chance to strike and defeated Eldegoss after it shrank back to its normal size.

Later, Sōdo arrived at Hammerlocke, where he was immediately challenged by the local Gym Leader, Raihan. Unable to avoid the fight, Sōdo sent out Ransun to battle Raihan's Sandaconda. Although he managed to block Sandaconda's Sandstorm, he was unable to outmaneuver the Sand Snake Pokémon and was quickly defeated.

In PASS13, Ransun was used as Sōdo's first Pokémon in his gym battle against Allister, where he quickly defeated his Galarian Yamask with Solar Blade. After a brief fight with Allistar's Cursola, Ransun was then switched out for Gunbain.

In preparation for his gym battle against Opal and her Alcremie, Sōdo has Ransun practice dodging a barrage of attacks by weaving through Namida-kun water balloons. During the battle, Ransun is used as Sōdo's first Pokémon, going up against her Galarian Weezing. Opal started the battle by lowering Ransun's Attack and Special Attack stat, due to Sōdo giving her the wrong answer to her question. Despite the setback, Ransun defeated Weezing with Steel Wing. He was then recalled, but was sent out again when it came time to fight Alcremie. Putting its training to use, he was able to dodge Gigantamax Alcremie's sweet missiles from G-Max Finale. This changed, however, when Alcremie increased the size of the missiles. With no choice left, the two Dynamaxed to counter it and attacked with an Expert Belt-enhanced Max Steelspike. After being hit by another G-Max Finale, Sōdo had Ransun raise his attack with Max Knuckle. Using his training, Ransun was able to counter the last G-Max Finale and defeated Alcremie with another Max Steelspike after she shrank back to her normal size.

Personality and characteristics

Ransun and Sōdo

Ransun is calm and collected, maintaining a noble air at all times. He is shown to have quick reflexes, using his leek to save a boy after he fell off a cliff and strong enough to support the weight of a child on his shield. Ransun is a powerful battler, taking on opponents like Milo’s Eldegoss and Raihan’s Sandaconda. He is Sōdo’s main battler and the current powerhouse of his team. Ransun is also quick to help others, shown when he ran headfirst into the Slumbering Weald to find the Wishing Star for Shirudomiria despite just meeting her.
