Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a legendary dual-typed Psychic/Grass Pokémon, first appearing in Generation II. It has only been officially available in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal (via Nintendo's Mobile System GB service, which was discontinued on December 14, 2002) and through the Japanese Pokémon Colosseum bonus disk, as well as various promotional events.

Celebi comes with the ability Natural Cure, which heals a status ailment when the Pokémon is withdrawn from battle.

Celebi does not evolve and is the last Pokémon in both the Johto Dex and National Dex within Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

Gender differences

Celebi is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Celebi has the power to travel through time. Celebi can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to Meganium). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful Grass and Psychic attacks.

Behavior

Celebi, like Mew, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, despite their awesome power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods.

Habitat

Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and guardian of the forest.

Diet

In the anime

File:Celebi anime.jpg
Celebi in the anime

Celebi first appeared in Pokémon 4Ever. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking the young Sammy Oak along with accidentally. Vicious eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a Dark Ball and used it to destroy the forest. Ash and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

Celebi also made an appearance in Pokémon Chronicles. In Celebi and Joy, Celebi took Ritchie back in time to help stop the destruction of a Pokémon Center.

In Green Guardian, the Pokémon Ranger, Solana accompanied Ash and friends in helping the time traveling Pokémon.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Pryce aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two Lapras, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga.

Near the end of the RS Saga, Ruby is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from Maxie and Archie, to prevent them from ever controlling Groudon and Kyogre again. Then, it revived Norman, Steven and Magma Admin Courtney by sending them through an altered future.

In the TCG

Main article: Celebi (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:

  • Unlock all 25 characters
  • Unlock all 29 stages
  • Beat all 51 events
  • Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs.)

It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Celebi returns as a rare Pokémon; the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Celebi's case, the items are Trophies.

Game data

NPC appearances

  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: A shiny Celebi is a character in the main story. When the player and partner are sent to the future by Dusknoir, the pair and Grovyle work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the one who sent Grovyle to the past before, and the trio uses her help to go back again.

Trivia

  • Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 Generation II Pokémon that wasn't used in the Johto Pokérap.
  • Celebi is notable as the hardest to obtain Pokémon, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside Japanese games, and even there, they are only obtainable in two games.
  • Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Snover and Abomasnow.
  • While Celebi has the power of time travel, it cannot control time, a power belonging to Dialga.
  • Unlike most legendaries, Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with Mew and Shaymin.
  • During the main story of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, the Shiny Celebi is referred to as a female.

Origin

It may be based on a fairy or dryad. It may also be based on an Aztec spirit. As for the wings, they might be reminiscent of a flying rainforest-dwelling insect.

Name origin

Celebi's name may be a combination of celestial and being. Celebi's Japanese name may be taken to be a combination of the English serenity and the Japanese bii, which translates to beautiful. It may also come from celery, due to the fact that Celebi is a Grass-type. It is interesting to note the similarity between "Celebi" and "telebi", the Japanese word for "television". Its name may have even originated from disco artist Celi Bee, and quite possibly, the Spanish word for onion, cebolla, since Celebi's head is shaped and looks slightly like an onion.

In Pokémon 4Ever, it seems to say its name "Reebee", which sounds like "Re-be". As shown later in the movie, time paradox duplicates appear, meaning that Celebi will "Re-be" forever; this could be another origin.
