With one of Ash's plans, he conquered his fear and [[IShallTauntYou enraged Mankey on purpose to lead him on a chase]] before [[DeadlyDodging tricking him into breaking the cage holding AJ's Sandshrew]].
** He's also scared at first when he sees what Lt. Surge's Raichu did to one of his opponents, but by the time he got to the Gym, he was ready for battle.
** He [[RunOrDie flees]] when Team Rocket attacks at Porta Vista, since there was a very real chance that he could've gotten captured if he didn't get back to Ash.
* ElementalAbsorption: Has the power to absorb electricity, as shown when [[TakingTheBullet he intercepts James's shot of electricity at Pidgeotto [[spoiler:when he was evolving]]]].
* EyelidPullTaunt: How he manages to trick Mankey into chasing him.
* LightningBruiser: Relies on speed, but can also take a bit of punishment as well. Unlike in canon, he was forced to train his body much earlier and became more balanced instead of becoming a GlassCannon.

!!Butterfree
->Gender: M

** Most prevalent when he was a Caterpie and uses [[AllWebbedUp String Shot]] to defeat Ekans and Koffing by blinding and immobilizing them, respectively, and does the same to Meowth when he steps forward.
** When Mankey and Spearow step forward, he keeps them at bay with his [[EvolutionPowerUp evolution]], spraying String Shot straight up to form the cocoon of his next stage, Metapod. With that form, he uses [[StatusBuff Harden]] to make Mankey [[AgonyOfTheFeet injure his foot trying to kick him]]. It bought enough time for Pikachu to recover from Koffing's Sludge attack and defeat Spearow shortly afterward.
* LifeDrain: Mega Drain allows him to sap energy from the opponent and add it to his own.

* DeclarationOfProtection: Back when he was a Pidgeotto during the attack at Porta Vista, after realizing that [[NearVillainVictory they could lose and Pikachu would be taken if they did]] and [[DespairEventHorizon how devastated Ash would be]], he refused to let that happen.
-->I won't lose! I ''can't'' lose! I'll protect Pikachu! I'll protect Ash!
* LightningBruiser: Fastest in the air on Ash's team and hits hard with his Clothesline Dash and Quick Attack.
* WindFromBeneathMyWings: Primary method of attack, using it to generate powerful gales to blow the opponent away or form small cyclones.
* TornadoMove: In order to form larger tornadoes (which he's able to make even more giant and self-sustaining after he evolves) Pidgeot flies in a circle instead of blowing it from his wings.
** This is what [[spoiler:helps defeat Misty at Cerulean Gym when he uses one as a Pidgeotto to vacuum Staryu out of the water]].
** After evolving to Pidgeot, [[spoiler:he circles around Team Rocket, creating his first giant tornado which carries them away over the ocean.]]

* StaringDownCthulhu: Fearlessly stands her ground and battles against the likes of [[SnakesAreSinister Jessie's Ekans]], despite the fact that she's one of her ''natural predators''.

[[folder:Ash Ketchum]]
* CatchAFallingStar: He's usually ready to catch one of his Pokémon if they're falling from the sky, whether by hand or recalling them into their Poké Ball.
* DumbassNoMore: Ash is forced to learn and mature at a much more rapid pace than in canon. Having the TerribleTrio following him for Pikachu meant he needed to train and come up with new strategies quickly or lose.
* AFatherToHisMen: Even when training them as often as he can to fend off attacks, Ash never pushes his Pokémon too hard and is always kind to them.
* HadToBeSharp: With Team Rocket after Pikachu, it was learn fast or lose. Extends to his Pokémon too.
* TheOnlyOne: After the incident with [[spoiler:Team Rocket taking the [[MagicMeteor Moon Stone]]]], Ash realized that he's the only one that can reliably stop Team Rocket. And he assumes the responsibility because [[ItsAllMyFault he feels that he's the reason that they continue getting stronger]].
* TaughtByExperience: Unlike canon, he learns from his past battles and comes up with innovative strategies to correct past mistakes.
