Celebi (Pokémon)

Celebi sensing a temporal anomaly (from Celebi's perspective)

Celebi is a green, fairy-like Pokémon. 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 in forests, Celebi is a Mythical Pokémon, known in legend as the "Voice of the Forest." It is able to travel through time and exist simultaneously throughout time, and plant life flourishes wherever it has been. As seen in Celebi: 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 in Pokémon Colosseum that Celebi has the power to instantly cause the Purification of any Shadow Pokémon and can be summoned at Relic Forest with the melody of a Time 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 Celebi are seen throughout the world, a prosperous and bright future is still in store for the Pokémon world. As depicted in A Timeless Encounter!, Celebi can sense if something is a temporal anomaly in the current timeline and will bring them back to their original timeline. Celebi has been referred to as a forest deity.

NPC appearances

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

• Pokémon Colosseum: Celebi has a connection with the Relic Stone in Agate Village, which holds the power to purify Shadow Pokémon. Playing a Time Flute at the Relic Stone can briefly summon Celebi to directly purify any single Shadow Pokémon, regardless of the status of its Heart Gauge.
• Pokémon Ranger: Celebi is in a Ranger Net mission. In the mission, the player must capture the Celebi to save it from the Go-Rock Squad. It is found wandering in Lyra Forest.
• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: A Shiny Celebi is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline. When the player and partner are sent to the future by Dusknoir, the player, partner, and Grovyle work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the Pokémon who sent Grovyle and the player to the past before, and the trio receive her help to go back again.
• Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs: Celebi is the first boss of the game and a main Pokémon in the storyline. It has the power to time travel and can send the player (without the Ukulele Pichu) into the past. It can also send specific Pokémon to the present if the player uses the correct Ranger Signs.
• Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: A Celebi appears as an ally to Ampharos and Jirachi of the Expedition Society, researching the past to find out information about the Dark Matter and the previous battle against it. Celebi also assists the player and partner in reaching the Tree of Life at the end of the Road to Primeval Forest.

Pokédex entries

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, Celebi's Pokédex entry states: "もりのかみさま として まつられる" (worshipped as a deity of the forest). This was adapted in English as "revered as a guardian of the forest".
