Biography[]
Pokémon the Series: XY[]
Wikstrom and Diantha had a battle in a stadium in front of masses of spectators with their Pokémon, with Diantha choosing her Gardevoir, which Mega Evolved at the beginning of the battle with Scizor. Mega Scizor attacked with Night Slash, but Mega Gardevoir used its psychic powers to dodge it by gliding across the ground. Mega Gardevoir used the chance to use Moonblast, which defeated Mega Scizor and made Mega Gardevoir and Diantha the winners of the match.[1]
Pokémon Journeys: The Series[]
When Ash and Goh flew to the Kalos region after hearing about a training camp for Pokémon, Wikstrom greeted Ash and Goh at the Hall of Chivalry, a place where Ash and Goh's Pokémon could train. During their training, Ash, Goh, and their Pokémon were given armor and traversed the hall, occasionally fighting Wikstrom's Pokémon. Once the participants completed the trial successfully, they were each given medals. Wikstrom also helped Goh evolved his Scyther into a Scizor by giving it a Metal Coat and temporarily trading it.[2]
Later on, when Drasna was revealed to be facing Ash in a World Coronation Series match, she trained with Wikstrom at his Castle of Chivalry.[3]
Both Drasna and Wikstrom met up with Ash before the match began and took note that Ash's Farfetch'd is now Sirfetch'd. He watched Ash's showdown against Drasna where Ash was able to defeat the Dragon-type user of the Kalos Elite Four.[4]
Wikstrom later watched Ash's showdown against Leon impressed with Sirfetch'd's performance in battle.[5]
