TV Special
Description
Grovyle hails from a future timeline paralyzed after Temporal Tower's collapse. Allied with a human possessing the Dimensional Scream and Celebi, he journeys back in time to gather the Time Gears essential for repairing the tower and preventing global stagnation. A separation during their time-travel forces Grovyle to pursue the mission alone.
He arrives near Treeshroud Forest during a storm, securing the first Time Gear as merely the initial step in his quest. His actions in the past, particularly the theft of Time Gears compounded by Dusknoir's misinformation, earn him a criminal reputation, initially casting him as an antagonist.
His path intersects with a Piplup (a transformed human) and a Chimchar after they join Wigglytuff's Explorer Guild, during their first joint mission to retrieve a Gabite Scale from Labyrinth Cave for a sick Shinx, accompanied by Sunflora. Despite initial mistrust due to his alleged crimes, Grovyle ultimately forges an alliance with the player (Piplup) and partner (Chimchar) to locate the remaining Time Gears and avert the tower's collapse.
Grovyle's true motives emerge: the Time Gear thefts were vital to restore the future. He displays resilience and strategic thinking, maintaining composure during confrontations with Lake Guardians despite knowing the consequences. His resolve falters temporarily after Dusknoir captures him, leading to coldness toward the protagonists. Yet, he collaborates with them to escape, seizing opportunities like a Sableye's Fury Swipe attack to their advantage.
His sacrifice proves critical. Confronting Dusknoir, Grovyle forcibly returns them both to the future, accepting this prevents his own return to the past. He entrusts the protagonists with completing the mission, expressing confidence in their partnership as the "greatest of combinations".
Grovyle utilizes an exploration kit for carrying Time Gears and other items. His known moves include Leaf Blade, Dig (irreplaceable in key scenarios), Energy Ball, Bullet Seed, Pound, Quick Attack, and Solar Beam. His ability is Overgrow.
His relationship with Celebi involves mutual respect and cooperation, though Grovyle remains unaware of any romantic feelings attributed to her by external observers.
