From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Ash's Buizel (Japanese: サトシのブイゼル Satoshi's Buoysel) is the fourth Pokémon captured by Dawn in Buizel Your Way Out of This. His voice actor in both Japanese and English is 古島清孝 Kiyotaka Furushima.
History
Buizel seems to have a different type of personality than Dawn's other Pokémon. He purposely looks for battles with trainers' Pokémon and loves to show off his amazing strength. He first took out Dawn's Piplup, then Zoey's Glameow, and finally Ash's Pikachu by using his incredible speed and moves like Aqua Jet. He showed bitterness towards humans but has gained respect for Dawn after she saved him from a nasty fall. Afterwards, Buizel found her worthy enough for a second battle, where she was able to capture him.
Since then, though, he still gets along poorly with most other Pokémon. In particular, he seems to have a rivalry developing with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, Brock's Croagunk.
In DP055, Dawn began the Contest training for the Solaceon Town Contest. However, 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.
In DP056, During a battle between Ash and Dawn, Buizel's Sonic Boom was deflected by Aipom, hitting a stone tower and freeing a Spiritomb.

Trivia
- Buizel is the sixth Pokémon to follow the pattern of premiering in the latest movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases the premeried Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species. In some cases, this may be a result of the writers deciding a Pokémon works well with the group after they are shown together. Ash's Buizel comes after Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. Others include (in movie order):
- Buizel caused a degree of controversy in the Pokémon community, as many had hoped that he would belong to Ash instead of Dawn. One of the more common reasonings for this was that Ash had not yet captured a Template:Type2 Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, and Dawn had her Piplup already. But in DP055, one of the most highly-rumoured events came true, as Ash and Dawn traded Buizel and Aipom.
- In his entire time as one of Dawn's Pokémon, Buizel never actually participated in a contest.
- While Buizel may have a rivalry with Brock's Croagunk, Brock's Sudowoodo seems to admire Buizel and even follows him around and tries to mimic what he does.
- Buizel is one of the few main characters' Pokémon to be traded, along with Ash's Butterfree and Jessie's Lickitung.
- Buizel along with Aipom are the first two Pokémon to be traded between main characters.
- Buizel is the only one of Ash's current team that has not participated in a battle wih Paul.
