Nebby (anime)

This Solgaleo, nicknamed Nebby, is a /-type Legendary Pokémon. It is the child of the older Solgaleo and Lunala.
==Personality==
Much like Ash's Noivern when it was a Noibat, Nebby unleashes a high pitch scream when it gets upset. Nebby is also very friendly to those around it and is very playful when using Teleport on its friends with a smile on its face. It is also very picky about food and only eats star-shaped candies. It sometimes Teleports away just to get its favorite food. As Nebby evolves, it still retains its likeness for the star-shaped candies.
Nebby has a close bond with Ash, seeing him as a parental figure. Their closeness is seen when Nebby uses its powers to teleport back to him on its own. It even has a close friendship with Pikachu and Rowlet, as it spends the most time with them, likes to sleep with both of them, and adores playing with them. Although, it takes turns on who to sleep with.
Nebby even took a liking to Lillie, forming a strong friendship with her as well. Nebby went to great lengths to help Lillie, as shown when it answered her desire to see her brother and when it tried to teleport them away from danger. Also, Nebby even granted Lillie's wish when she wanted to remember her past, which was related to the reason why she had her fear of touching Pokémon.
It is also very curious when reading the thoughts of others and teleporting Ash and his friends to various places, wishing to see the outside world even though if its aim is off. In the end of Now You See Them, Now You Don't!, Nebby was revealed to be mischievous, as it cried and teleported everyone at the top pillar of the Pokémon School to scare them.
Nebby is also helpful at times towards its friends. After becoming Solgaleo, Nebby became a strong, heroic, and independent Pokémon, as it was willing to help Ash and the gang rescue Lusamine from Ultra Space. Also, Nebby became very protective towards anyone it cares about, shown with Lunala and Ash, and would do anything to keep them safe from danger.
==Biography==
===As Cosmog===
Nebby first appeared in Ash's dream, where he witnessed it being created by Solgaleo and Lunala. Then, on his way to the Pokémon School, Ash and Pikachu saw Tapu Koko, who led them to a sleeping Cosmog. Once Ash arrived at the Pokémon School, he showed his classmates the little Pokémon, and they were amazed at the discovery. However, when it woke up, it let out a high-pitched scream whenever it cried. After calming it down, Lillie decided to name it Nebby, while Ash decided to take care of it, as he made a promise to Solgaleo and Lunala to take care of it.SM044: A Dream Encounter!

Nebby came with Ash and the gang as they visited the Aether Foundation. Faba wished to see Cosmog, but as he tried to come closer, it teleported away.

During a battle between the two trainers, Nebby woke up by all the commotion and let out a high-pitched scream, which knocked Pikachu back and got Lycanroc's fur clean.

Nebby was examined by Professor Burnet, who gave it a clean bill of health, and grew to like her. Then, at the sleepover, Nebby had fun playing a game of hide and seek with Ash and his friends.

Nebby tried to teleport them away from danger, but they were restrained by Faba's Hypno.

After what happened at Aether Foundation, Ash became worried about Nebby since it hadn't moved following its evolution. When Ash and his friends discovered that Lillie is nowhere to be found, they talked with Kahuna Hala and from him, they all headed over to Poni Island and the Altar of the Sunne in the hopes of finding Solgaleo, but they found all the Tapu Guardians there instead.SM051: Family Determination!
