Trent's Snivy

Trent's Snivy (Japanese:Hatshuki's Tsutarja) is Trent's main Starter Pokemon. He was obtained from Professor Juniper in Nuvema Town.

History
Snivy first made his appearance in PBG001 as one of the Starter Pokemon that Professor Juniper was giving away. By the time, Trent and his friends Bianca and Cheren arrive, Snivy gets in a fight with Tepig, chasing after it as he escaped through the window of the lab.

After Trent finally found him stuck in a tree, he realizes that a couple of Herdier were trying to attack him. Trent then distracts them only getting attacked instead and the Grass Snake used Leaf Tornado to save his new friend. After being obtained, Trent challenges his friends Bianca and Cheren to a battle. After much strength in both battles, despite their type-advantages, Snivy defeats Bianca's Oshawott, but ultimately ties with Cheren's Tepig.

He then joins his partner toward Route 1 in PBG002 where he helps his trainer capture a wild Pidove using his confidence and quick speed instead of depending on Normal-type attacks which lead to his first win in a wild battle. He is then kidnapped by Team Plasma while trying to relax from battling. Trent had his friends Pidove and Zorua save him before defeating them with Leaf Tornado, thinking his partners for trying hard.

He was also used to battle against the mysterious trainer named N in PBG005 where he fought his quick and fast Purrloin. Despite their equal levels of skill and power, Snivy activated its ability Overgrow and defeated Purrlion, winning the battle. N described Snivy as a calm, cool, and collected Pokemon filled with battling confidence.

In its first Gym battle at the Striaton Gym, Snivy fought against Chili and his Pansear. Despite the type-disadvantage, he almost lost the battle. But when he used the Oran Berry it found in the Gym, he ate it, and then finished the High Temp off with a Overgrow-boosted Leaf Tornado, winning his partner the Trio Badge.
