Biology

Celebi sensing a temporal anomaly (from its perspective)

Celebi is a green,fairy-likePokémon. It has round toeless feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. It has a round head that comes to a curved point. It has large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae with blue tips.

Often found inforests, Celebi is known inlegends as the "Voice of the Forest." It is able totravel through time and exist simultaneously throughout time, and plant life flourishes wherever it has been. As seen inCelebi: The Voice of the Forest, said plant life is able to heal Celebi when it is dying and restore the flora around it to perfect health. Celebi also has the ability to heal wounds, and can release a telekinetic energy wave to defend itself. It was shown inPokémon Colosseum that Celebi has the power to instantlypurifyShadow Pokémon and can be summoned atRelic Forest with the melody of aTime Flute. Despite living in forests as its guardian, Celebi only shows itself in areas and times of peace. It has been regarded that as long as it is seen throughout the world, a prosperous and bright future is still in store for thePokémon world. As depicted inA Timeless Encounter!, Celebi can sense if something is a temporal anomaly in the current timeline and will bring them back to their original timeline. It has been referred to as a forest deity.

Other appearances

Celebi inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When aPoké 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.

Trophy information

"Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a deity by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in unimaginable abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers."

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 493 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops collectible items; in Celebi's case, it drops trophies.

Trophy information

"A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses itsFuture Sight move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Celebi trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Celebi appears as a trophy in the 3DS version only.

Trophy information

This Pokémon has the unique ability to travel through time to the past or future. However, the only times Celebi wants to visit are those of peace, so catching sight of Celebi in one of the beautiful forests it frequents is a good sign indeed. Perhaps it's mankind's responsibility to create the kind of time Celebi would want to visit.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Celebi appears as aSpirit.

Trivia

Concept and development

Celebi was designed byHironobu Yoshida.[4][5]

Origin

Celebi has a natural theme.[6] Specifically, it might be related to the natural worship ofShintoism. It also may be based on afairy,dryad, orkodama, mixed with a plantbulb.

Celebi's beta designs, and to a lesser extent its final design, appear to draw inspiration fromKokopelli, a god of fertility and music from the cultures of some southwestern Native American peoples.

Name origin

Celebi may be a combination of 精霊seirei (spirit),Ceres (Roman goddess of fertility),celebrate orcelestial,serenity, and 美bi (beauty) orbeing.
