Aipom

Aipom in the anime

In Slaking Kong!, an Aipom stole Ash's hat and began following his group after eventually returning it, and Ash caught her in Channeling the Battle Zone!. She was later traded to Dawn for Buizel in Throwing the Track Switch since Aipom preferred Pokémon Contests, and she evolved into Ambipom in Journey to the Unown! while battling an aggressive horde of Unown. Lisa's Aipom was also her primary battler in Spell of the Unown: Entei, going up against Noctowl and ultimately losing, while a different Aipom made off with one of Delibird's missing presents in Delibird's Dilemma before returning it.

Aipom on cards

Aipom's first card came from 2000's Neo Genesis, illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, followed by a Neo Revelation Common illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki. Majestic Dawn printed two separate Aipom cards illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya and Kouki Saitou, and Paradox Rift later gave Aipom both a Common and an illustration rare illustrated by aspara and Yuka Morii respectively.
