Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ Celebi) is a dual-type Psychic/Grass Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It serves as the guardian of Ilex Forest.
Celebi is the last Pokémon in the Johto Pokédex and Hoenn Pokédex in Generation III, although in the latter, Celebi is not shown.
Biology
Celebi sensing a temporal anomaly
Celebi is a green, fairy-like Pokémon. It has round toeless feet, three-fingered hands, and clear wings on its back. It has a round head that comes to a curved point. It has large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them, and a pair of green antennae with blue tips.
Often found in forests, Celebi is a Mythical Pokémon, known in legend as the "Voice of the Forest." It is able to travel through time and exist simultaneously throughout time, and plant life flourishes wherever it has been. As seen in the anime, it is able to heal sick Celebi and restore plants to perfect health. Celebi also has the ability to heal wounds. It was shown in Pokémon Colosseum that Celebi has the power to instantly cause the Purification of any Shadow Pokémon and can be summoned at Relic Forest with the melody of a Time Flute.
Despite living in forests as its guardian, Celebi only shows itself in areas and times of peace. It has been regarded that as long as Celebi are seen throughout the world, a prosperous and bright future is still in store for the Pokémon world. As shown in the anime, it can sense if something is a temporal anomaly in their current timeline and will bring them back to their original timeline. Celebi has been referred to as a forest creature.

In Celebi: The Voice of the Forest, a Pokémon poacher was after a Celebi, and it traveled 40 years into the future to escape from him, taking Sam along with it by accident. The Iron-Masked Marauder eventually captured the Time Travel Pokémon in a Dark Ball and used it to destroy the forest. However, Ash and Sam managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron-Masked Marauder's spell.
Celebi (M13)
In Zoroark: Master of Illusions, Grings Kodai was after Celebi's Time Ripple in order to restore his ability to hope for the future, which he got on a previous encounter with it. It befriended Zorua and helped save Zoroark after she was mortally injured by Kodai.
Celebi (recurring)
In A Timeless Encounter!, a Celebi was disturbed by the battle between Ash's Lycanroc and Torracat. In response, it accidentally caused Ash and Torracat to travel back to the past.

The Masked Man aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to reunite one of his Pokémon with its deceased parents. Although the Masked Man managed to capture Celebi, the GS Ball holding it was destroyed by Gold, freeing it from the villain's control. Afterwards, it would appear to help in the Ruby & Sapphire and HeartGold & SoulSilver chapters. Celebi made its debut in The Last Battle IX.

Other appearances
Celebi in
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
- Unlock all 25 characters
- Unlock all 29 stages
- Beat all 51 events
- Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs)
It does not affect the battle, but the thrower of the Poké Ball will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.
Trophy information
"Celebi has the power to travel through time, and thus wanders from one age to the next. It is considered a character by the forests: plants and trees are said to grow in unimaginable abundance wherever Celebi visits. Like Mew, Celebi is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. Its special techniques blend grass and psychic powers."
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
When a Poké Ball is thrown, there is a 1 in 493 chance of Celebi appearing. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops collectible items; in Celebi's case, it drops trophies.
Trophy information
"A Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi can travel throughout time and inhabit multiple places simultaneously. It is said that it appears only during times of peace, greeted by a flourishing of grass and trees. Two turns after Celebi uses its Future Sight move, the foe is bombarded with psychic energy. This proves to have a devastating impact on any Pokémon."
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS
Celebi appears as a trophy in the 3DS version only.
Trophy information
This Pokémon has the unique ability to travel through regions. However, the only times Celebi wants to visit are those of peace, so catching sight of Celebi in one of the beautiful forests it frequents is a good sign indeed. Perhaps it's mankind's responsibility to build the kind of time Celebi would want to visit.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Celebi appears as a Spirit.
Game data
NPC appearances
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
- Pokémon Ranger: Celebi is in a Ranger Net mission. In the mission, the player must capture the Celebi to save it from the Go-Rock Squad. It is found wandering in Lyra Forest.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: A Shiny Celebi is a supporting protagonist in the main storyline. When the player and partner are sent to the future by Dusknoir, the player, partner, and Grovyle work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the Pokémon who sent Grovyle and the player to the past before, and the trio receive her help to go back again.
- Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs: Celebi is the first boss of the game and a main Pokémon in the storyline. It has the power to time travel and can send the player (without the Ukulele Pichu) into the past. It can also send specific Pokémon to the present if the player uses the correct Ranger Signs.
- Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: A regular Celebi appears with Ampharos and Jirachi of the Expedition Society to transport the player and partner out of harm's way before Nuzleaf and Beheeyem get a second chance to petrify the player and partner after their return from the Voidlands. Celebi explains that Dark Matter once threatened to attack the Tree of Life which would have resulted in the planet's collision with the sun, but was stopped by the efforts of a human and a Pokémon. Celebi theorizes this same human was brought back to the present by the ancient Mew. Celebi also reveals that the Harmony Scarves worn by the player and partner were made using materials from the Tree of Life; their temporary evolutions were triggered as a result of the Tree's power. Later, Celebi helps assist many other Pokémon in stopping the ascent of the Tree of Life into the sun a second time. It, along with the Shiny Celebi from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, are recruitable after completion of the main story via the Connection Orb.

Trivia
- After Deoxys, Celebi is the second Mythical Pokémon to become legitimately available in-game without any sort of event or distribution, this time in the Virtual Console release of Pokémon Crystal on the 3DS.
- Prior to this, it was impossible to legitimately obtain a Shiny Celebi in a non-Japanese language game, as a Shiny Celebi was never distributed and wild Celebi can only be caught through Crystal's GS Ball event.
- Celebi is the only Pokémon of the 100 introduced in Generation II that wasn't used in Pokérap GS.
- However, it was used in the Hoenn Pokérap along with Mew, another Pokémon that wasn't used in its own generation's Pokérap.
- During the main story of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Celebi is referred to as a female, while it is genderless in the core series as well as on the Mystery Dungeon status screen.
- Also, this Celebi is the first Shiny Pokémon to appear in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
- A different non-Shiny Celebi appears in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, who is referred to as a male.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Celebi is the only obtainable Shiny Pokémon that does not appear as a Strong Foe; it is instead found in a Mystery House.
- A 2008 interview done with Masamitsu Hidaka revealed that the GS Ball was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea was shelved, however, and Celebi became the star of Celebi: The Voice of the Forest.
- Celebi is the only Pokémon whose number in the National Pokédex and the New Pokédex are the same: 251.
- According to a dead Nintendo of Japan page from the early 2000s, Celebi's Japanese name was initially romanized as Selbi as opposed to the later Celebi.[1][2]
- Celebi was the first event-exclusive Pokémon to appear in an episode of the anime.
Origin
Celebi has a natural theme.[3] Specifically, it might be related to the natural fake beliefs of Shintoism. It also may be based on a fairy, dryad, or kodama, mixed with a plant bulb.
Name origin
Celebi may be a combination of celestial and being, or it may be a combination of serenity and 美 bi (beauty).
