Twiggy (Japanese:スティックンSutikkun) is aRillaboom thatHenry Sword owns inPokémon Adventures and his secondPokémon overall. He is at leastlevel 34.

History

Prior to the start of theSword & Shield arc,Henry received Grookey fromProfessor Magnolia.

Twiggy first appeared inWow!! That's One Big Pokémon as a Grookey, where he got his stick repaired by Henry.Later that day, he was used in a mockMax Raid Battle to help teachMarvin about battling. Grookey attacked a holographicDynamaxedPangoro withLeafage alongside anEmber fromCasey'sScorbunny. This showed Marvin how to look for openings in battles.

InChomp!! Defeat Drednaw, while traveling, the group's truck accidentally ran over a group ofDrednaw, resulting in a flat tire. While trying to find the cause of it, the Drednaw attacked. Scorbunny was able to distract two of them, though one chomped down on Grookey's stick. Grookey refused to let go, resulting in a tug of war. Grookey eventually won when another Drednaw charged into the one holding Grookey's stick, allowing theChimp Pokémon to knock them both out.

InZap!! A Rising Beam of Light, Henry decided to give his teamnicknames in order to distinguish them from other Pokémon of the same species. Choosing to name them after the gear they used, Grookey was called Twiggy. Later during the day, a pair ofTeam Yell Grunts tried to destroy the new uniforms that Henry and Casey received. WhileLancelot and Scorbunny distracted them, Twiggy snuck behind the fight and directly attacked the Grunts, driving them towards aPokémon Den. This allowed his Trainer to push the Grunts into it and force them into aMax Raid Battle against a wildGurdurr.

InToasty!! Battle Against Toxapex, to prepare for his gym battle againstNessa, Henry used Twiggy to battle against Marvin andSniffler, where they practiced Twiggy's strategy of drumming its stick off the ground to agitate his opponent. Sniffler responding by using its tears to become invisible, though Twiggy countered it with aBranch Poke and won. After the battle, Twiggyevolved into Thwackey. Henry later used Twiggy as his first Pokémon against Nessa and herToxapex. Twiggy started the battle by drumming his branches on the ground but quickly became frustrated when Toxapex was unaffected by the noise. Twiggy then attacked the Brutal Star Pokémon directly and waspoisoned by Toxapex'sBaneful Bunker. Realizing that temperature had something to do with how Toxapex protected itself, Henry had Twiggy useSunny Day, opening up Toxapex and allowing Twiggy to defeat the Brutal Star Pokémon. Nessa then sent out her Drednaw, which she immediatelyGigantamaxed.

Due to its large size, Gigantamax Drednaw easily overwhelmed Twiggy with itsMax Moves. Henry countered by Dynamaxing Twiggy, determined to win the fight with only him. The two exchanged a few blows, though Twiggy's speed wasn't enough to match the Bite Pokémon's defense. He finally managed to land the finishing blow when Drednaw extended its neck out to bite Twiggy, earning them the victory.

InGulp!! Gulp Pokémon, Twiggy was one of the three Pokémon Henry brought to use in his gym battle againstKabu.

InCrunch!! Snowy Battle, Twiggy, under Casey's command, joinedRaboot and Sniffler to defeatGordie'sStonjourner. Twiggy used Branch Poke on the ground to create holes for Sniffler to fill withWater Gun, soaking the Big Rock Pokémon. Afterward, Henry tried to get Twiggy to stop a herd ofEiscue from stealingMelony'sMr. Rime, but they froze him solid and knocked him out.

InBAAM!! Incredible Evolution of the Three Pokémon, while Henry was trainingKubfu, it got overwhelmed by a group of wildSkwovet andGreedent. Twiggy, alongside Bit and Sniffler, protected it from the Greedy Pokémon. All three evolved during the fight.

InRumble!! The Darkest Day Returns, Twiggy battled against a GigantamaxedButterfree andCorviknight to protectCalyrex until it couldrideSpectrier.

InShing!! Final Form, Twiggy was givenMax Soup and gained the ability to Gigantamax. He wassoon after Gigantamaxed to battle a GigantamaxedKingler,Orbeetle, andSandaconda that were protectingEternatus. With the help of Bit, Sniffler, andBede'sHatterene, they were able to distract them long enough forZacian andZamazenta to attack the Gigantic Pokémon directly.

Personality and characteristics

Twiggy is an upbeat Pokémon, often seen smiling and excited at the idea of battling. He is very protective of his stick, refusing to give it up even in the face of danger. Using its sticks, Twiggy is able to beat them off the ground to create a rhythmic drumming that can agitate opponents. After evolving into a Thwackey, Twiggy is shown to get irritated when things don't go his way. Twiggy is able to give orders to other Pokemon in battle with instructions using its sticks and is able to coordinate at least eight Pokemon at a time.
