History

As a Wurmple

While watching a Rustboro City Pokémon Contest in All Things Bright and Beautifly, May saw a Trainer's Beautifly perform and decided that she wanted one. Her wish came true in the following episode, and May caught a Wurmple in the episode All in a Day's Wurmple, as did Jessie. Several episodes later, in Which Wurmple's Which?, both Wurmple were temporarily switched, but were returned to their proper Trainers by the episode's end.

As a Silcoon

In the episode A Corphish Out of Water, May's Wurmple evolved into Silcoon while Jessie's evolved into Cascoon; Jessie believed hers was a Silcoon as well.

Four episodes later, in Seeing is Believing, Jessie's Cascoon evolved into Dustox, while May's Silcoon evolved into Beautifly.

In the episode That's Just Swellow, May used Beautifly as her Pokémon in a PokéRinger competition. James, using Dustox, defeated Beautifly in the competition, but Dustox eventually succumbed to a last-minute defeat when Ash's Taillow evolved into a Swellow.

Before heading off to the Battle Frontier, May left her Beautifly at her home in Petalburg City. It returned temporarily in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing, and was seen again in A Full Course Tag Battle!. Beautifly was used in the Wallace Cup, defeating Zoey's Glameow.

Personality

As a Wurmple, it was very greedy. It would gorge itself on food and then fall asleep, unlike Jessie's more sedate and well-behaved Wurmple. When it evolved to both its latter stages, however, it became more calm and mellow.

Trivia

• May's Beautifly follows a theme used by Misty's Corsola, that the Trainer wants a particular species of Pokémon long before actually capturing one.
• May's Beautifly seems to be a parallel to Dawn's Buneary:
  • Both were their Trainers' first capture.
  • Both were used in the battle round of their first Pokémon Contest.
  • Both were used in a different kind of Pokémon Contest (Beautifly in the PokéRinger competition and Buneary in the Hearthome Collection).
  • Both were used in the battle round of the Wallace Cup once.
• May's Beautifly also seems to parallel Ash's Butterfree, as a first capture and a Butterfly Pokémon. However, whether this is intentional is unknown.
