Count Pumpk (Japanese: パンプ伯爵 Count Pump) is a character of the day from A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?.

During the Gourgeist Festival, Count Pumpk was looking at participants from his castle. He spotted Team Rocket and was impressed by Jessie's Pumpkaboo. When he showed her to his own Pumpkaboo, he fell in love with her immediately. Because of this, Count Pumpk had his steward invite Team Rocket for a meal at his castle. He introduced himself to the trio and told them he wanted Jessie's Pumpkaboo. Jessie saw a chance in this to swindle the count, and told him that her Pumpkaboo had been threatened by Ash's Pikachu. If Count Pumpk would be able to get Pikachu for them, Jessie would consider trading her Pumpkaboo to him. As such, he sent his steward after Ash and his friends.

Ash and his friends ultimately bursted into Count Pumpk's castle. Still thinking they were bad people, the count had his steward imprison them. Following this, the count proposed Jessie to trade her Pumpkaboo to him now. When she claimed she didn't want to trade it away, Count Pumpk offered her a Mawile. Imagining she could Mega Evolve the Mawile, she agreed. After the trade, Pumpkaboo evolved into Gourgeist. The count's own Pumpkbaoo suddenly lost all interest in her, and Jessie regretted the trade as she remembered the good times she had had with Pumpkaboo. Count Pumpk then agreed to reverse the trade. During all this, Ash and his friends managed to escape. They revealed to the count and his steward that Team Rocket were the bad people instead. After they managed to blast Team Rocket off, Count Pumpk and his steward apologized to them. He then invited them for dinner as they watched the fireworks of the Gourgeist Festival.

Prince Pumpkaboo

Prince Pumpkaboo (Japanese: バケッチャ王子) first appeared by his master's side as they were looking out onto the Gourgeist Festival. Prince Pumpkaboo, who was Small Sized, fell in love upon seeing Jessie's female Super Size Pumpkaboo. Count Pumpk, seeking to make his Pokémon happy, persuaded Jessie to trade Pumpkaboo to him. Since she had been traded, Jessie's Pumpkaboo evolved into a Gourgeist and Prince Pumpkaboo lost all interest. As a result, the trade was reversed.

None of Prince Pumpkaboo's moves are known.

Mawile
Main article: Jessie's Mawile

Count Pumpk offered his Mawile to Jessie in exchange for her Pumpkaboo. Jessie initially refused, but quickly changed her mind when Count Pumpk informed her that Mawile was one of the few species of Pokémon able to Mega Evolve. After the trade and Pumpkaboo's subsequent evolution into Gourgeist, Jessie changed her mind, wishing to trade back. Since Prince Pumpkaboo had lost all interest in Gourgeist after she evolved, Count Pumpk agreed to trade back.

None of Mawile's moves are known.

Count Pumpk convinced Jessie to trade her Pumpkaboo for his Mawile, as Pumpkaboo was not only a rare Super Size Pumpkaboo, but also the object of Prince Pumpkaboo's affections. Upon completion of the trade, Pumpkaboo promptly evolved into a Gourgeist, which in turn led to Prince Pumpkaboo losing all interest in her, having preferred her as a Pumpkaboo. Almost immediately afterwards, Jessie changed her mind about the trade and demanded that Count Pumpk trade back, and since Prince Pumpkaboo was no longer interested in Gourgeist, Count Pumpk agreed.
