Iris' Emolga is a very sly and sneak Pokémon who likes to think things through before it decides upon taking any action. It uses its
Attract move to its advantage as it's a good way to convince other Pokémon to agree with it once they have fallen under the influence of the attack.
Iris and friends first encountered it when
Iris' Axew lost one of the apples it was eating and chased it down the hill.
Iris ran after get Kibago only to come across the Emonga who had picked up the apple
Iris' Axew was chasing after.
Iris' Emolga noticed that
Iris was carrying a lot more apples and realized that if it returned the one apple to
Iris' Axew that
Iris might reward it by giving it a lot more of the apples she was carrying.
Bianca who was with
Iris and friends at the time, quickly fell in love with the Emonga and wanted to catch it but after an uncomfortable hug, Emonga quickly learned that it didn't want to be caught by
Bianca and it shocked her. Still determined to capture it,
Bianca followed it for a while until Emonga finally made its intentions clear that it wanted to be caught by
Iris.
Iris' Emolga jumped into
Iris's arms and then allowed itself to be caught by her Poké Ball.

Volt Switch which knocked it out.
