Bobby (Japanese: ボビー Bobby) is a character of the day who appeared in The Lonely Deino!. He met Ash and his friends in the Pokémon Day Care on Route 5 on their way to Driftveil City.

Bobby helped out at a Pokémon Day Care, where he looked after many Pokémon, including three Deino. Unfortunately for him, he had never taken care of Dragon-types before. As a result, he was overwhelmed with the amount of work involved taking care of the Irate Pokémon, which was made worse by the workload he already had with the other Pokémon at his Day Care.

Immediately, Iris volunteered to help him take care of Deino, as she was from the Village of Dragons and had a lot of experience with them. Bobby agreed to let her help, and also allowed Ash and Cilan to help take care of Deino and the other Pokémon. Bobby, Ash, and Cilan took care of all of the other Pokémon, while Iris took care of one of the Deino, which was shy. He thanked them for all their hard work after the last Deino was returned and the group left on their way to Driftveil City.

In the English dub, Bobby tends to speak in third person.




Bobby's Deino

Bobby's Deino
Deino (×3)
Three Deino were left at the Pokémon Day Care, which Bobby was looking after. Two of the Deino trained well, although one of them was shy and protective, so Iris decided to try and befriend it and train its courage. Meanwhile, Ash and Cilan had the task of taking care of the two other, more lively Deino. The Trainers of the two rambunctious Deino came on time to pick them up, but the Trainer who owned the shy Deino had not yet returned. He didn't come until the next day at sunset, claiming that he got lost in the Chargestone Cave. The last Deino was returned to its Trainer and it said goodbye to Iris one last time before going into its Poké Ball.

Two of them reappeared in flashbacks in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin! and Survival of the Striaton Gym!.

Deino's only known move is Headbutt.
