Description
Geleca is the Brazilian Portuguese name for the Pokémon character known in English as Squishy and in Japanese as Puni-chan, a central figure in the XY&Z arc of the Pokémon XY anime series. This Pokémon is a Core of the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde, and it first appeared traveling with the main group under the care of the young character Bonnie.
In terms of background, Geleca is initially discovered as a small, gelatinous creature whose body feels squishy to the touch, a trait that inspired its various names across different languages. It is later revealed to be a Zygarde Core, an integral component of the Zygarde collective, and is instrumental in maintaining ecological balance. One of its primary motivations is to locate and reunite with its counterpart, another Zygarde Core designated as Z2, and to gather the scattered Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered across the Kalos region.
Geleca's personality is gentle and affectionate, particularly towards Bonnie, who keeps it safe in her small bag. Despite its cute and unassuming appearance, Geleca possesses a strong sense of duty and can become deeply distressed or worried when sensing danger to the ecosystem or when separated from its missing companion, Z2. Its role in the story becomes critical as the narrative shifts towards the threat posed by Team Flare, who actively hunts for Zygarde Cores and Cells to harness their power. Geleca is not merely a pet but a key participant in the climax of the XY&Z series.
Key relationships define much of Geleca's journey. Its bond with Bonnie is the most prominent, as the child takes on the responsibility of caring for it, and Geleca, in turn, shows great trust and protectiveness towards her. Another crucial relationship is with Z2, the other Zygarde Core, whose pursuit by antagonists like Lysandre creates significant tension and drives much of the plot. Throughout the series, Geleca demonstrates notable development, evolving from a seemingly simple, lost creature into a fully aware Legendary Pokémon that understands its purpose and is willing to take decisive action to protect Kalos.
Regarding its notable abilities, as a Zygarde Core, Geleca has the power to command and fuse with Zygarde Cells and other Cores. This ability allows it to transform into its 10% Forme, a dog-like shape, and ultimately its massive 50% Forme serpentine form to engage in battle. In these forms, it can wield powerful Ground and Dragon-type moves. The core itself is also highly resilient and can sense the presence of other Zygarde components from great distances, using this awareness to guide its actions and reunite with its counterparts to form the complete Zygarde.
