Entei (Japanese:エンテイEntei) is a major character who appeared inSpell of the Unown: Entei.
In the movies
Entei was a physical manifestation created by the Unown of Molly's desire for her father to return. It is an illusionary Entei that appeared toMolly Hale after she made a wish to theUnown. It served as a replacement father for her while her real father,Spencer, was trapped in theUnown Dimension. Entei was able to speak in the humans' language because it was an illusion created by the Unown.

It did everything Molly asked for, even kidnappingDelia so she could be Molly's mother and providing her with illusory Pokémon for her to battleBrock andMisty with when they entered the tower that Entei had created to rescue Delia.
WhenAsh attempted to confront Entei to get his mother back, hisTotodile andCyndaquil were rapidly defeated, withPikachu only lasting longer without faring any better, and evenCharizard—who had witnessed the incident on television at theCharicific Valley and come to help—was only able to hold Entei off without actually defeating it. However, when Entei was about to break Charizard's neck, Molly finally decided that she wanted things to be real again.
Accepting Molly's decision, Entei helped Pikachu and Charizard defeat the now uncontrollable Unown which were sent back to their dimension while Entei disappeared after bidding Molly farewell and assuring her that it would always be in her dreams.
InThe Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, Entei was seen in Pikachu's memories. It also briefly reappeared in a montage inThe Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding ninemovies.
Personality and characteristics
Since Entei was created as a father forMolly by the Unown, it acted like one, giving Molly everything she wanted, though not real, for her to be happy, going so far as to stealAsh's mom to give Molly a mother. It is also very protective of Molly and her wishes, fighting Ash and his Pokémon to protect Molly and her "mama". However, despite its origin as an illusion, it still had a mind of its own, allowing it to accept Molly's decision to return to reality rather than live in the illusion it created, and even acting against the Unown who created it.
Although it was not actually him, Entei acted very similar to Molly's real father, Spencer Hale, loving her with a real father's love, and even bade her farewell with the same words as Spencer, telling Molly "Just keep me close in your dreams" before it vanished.
