Sugar

**Sugar** (Japanese: *Shugadorimu*) is a supporting character in Pokémon Legends. She is one of Dragonet's eternally infant babies (due to the immortality serum) and was born in episode 21, The Birth of Sugar, having been conceived prior to the first episode of the series. Along with Pudding and Carrot Cake, she is mostly a comic relief character who is also meant to appeal to younger viewers.

## Shugadorimu "Sugar"

### Relatives

Dragonet (mother)Pudding, Carrot Cake, Puddingtwo, Carrotcaketwo, Sugartwo (sisters)

### Affiliation

Pokémon Legends heroes (With her mother and Nijiko)

## Appearances

### Portrayed by

Hayashibara Megumi (Japanese)Gwendolyn Lau (English)

## Appearance

Sugar is a baby Ninja Dragonet with pastel pink skin, big magenta eyes and magenta fins (her tailfin is magenta as well, but her dorsal fin is colored like the rest of her skin), and thick white stripes on her back.

## Personality

Sugar serves as comic relief and to appeal to younger viewers. She speaks in a squeaky high-pitched voice and constantly mispronounces words while ending almost all of them with "-eey" (such as saying "politickeey" instead of "politician"), and is normally very cheerful and happy-go-lucky. However, she is also extremely naiive due to her young age, which means she is sometimes also overly trusting and gullible and can unintentionally get herself or others into trouble. This is best shown in *An Awkward Secret Revealed?!* when she just wanted to play with Yume's Èlèmen Bottle she found in her bag, but it ended up being found out by a group of kids and led to everyone's secret identities being revealed. She is also quite mischievious and a running gag consists of her transforming into an inanimate object that somebody is going to use (such as a plate or ÈlèChanMirror), and then said object the person is using will suddenly have a face and talk in Sugar's voice, causing them to scream and faint.

Like Pudding and Carrot Cake, despite lacking a Trainer due to her young age and being considered to belong to her mother, Nijiko also helps take care of her due to her species needing to interact with humans daily to not go insane and being unable to survive without human care anyways.

## Relationships

* Dragonet: Even though her mother is sometimes stern with her and has a short temper, Sugar loves her mother. Due to her being so young, she feels absolutely terrified without her mom and is usually seen sleeping in her fins at night. She also refuses to be put to sleep for a nap by anybody but her and nursing is the only thing that will fully calm her down.
* Nanettte: After Nanette (unreasonably) spanked her and yelled at her despite her mother's objections for unintentionally revealing everyone's secret identities (even though the public's memories were erased), Sugar is terrified of Nanette and tries to avoid her at all costs. They eventually make up and apologize, however.

## Trivia

* Despite being exclusively called Sugar in the 4Kids dub, it is confirmed that even in the 4Kids dub, "Sugar" is still a nickname for "Shugadorimu." This is also mentioned in her debut episode, where her mother clearly says "I've decided on the name **Shugadorimu**, but I'll call her **Sugar** for short." Clearly, as a running gag in the 4Kids dub, when her mother scolds her, she says "SHUGADORIMU!" in her voice actress's best attempt at pronouncing it as it is in Japanese.

* One one occasion, Sugar has used Transform to turn into a copy of Warrior Sparkle to help out, but since she is young and inexperienced, she had no idea how to use the powers and quickly dropped the idea.
* Since Pokémon talk in this series, when Sugar uses Sing, the same melody as the anime Jigglypuff is played but it singing its name is replaced with an instrumental. This is also true for every other Pokémon that uses Sing.
* What Pokémon is her father has never been mentioned or revealed - all that is known is that prior to the first episode of the series, Dragonet was already pregnant and already had two other babies.
* In the canon novelization, when Bianca uses the Herbe Èlèmen to help her mother give birth faster, Sugar is actually seen coming out onscreen.
