Celebi

Description
Celebi is a plot-relevant Pokemon that was added in version 4.0. Celebi appears in Celadon Gym, both as an ally Pokemon and as a foe.

In the game, there are two different types of Celebi. One is a good Celebi from the future and the other is a present-day Celebi, who is controlled by Mewthree.

Ally Celebi
The good Celebi first appears in the cutscene for Celadon Gym. It came from the future--one year after the events of the game--to help free its past self. Celebi knows the protagonist from an encounter in Johto, claiming that the region will also be saved by the main character, thus hinting at a Johto sequel. This Celebi helps you in the level by healing your Pokemon with Celebi's Heal. In Rocket Hideout it went with the other Celebi back to the future.

Foe Celebi
The evil, mind-controlled Celebi is an enemy Pokemon in Celadon Gym. Like all the other Pokemon in the gym, it cannot be caught. It will attack your towers by using Solar Beam. If you see it coming, remove your Pokemon from the map until it is out of range as it is very powerful and difficult to defeat.

However, it is possible to defeat if you have either Charizard with Fire Blast, Butterfree or Venomoth with Bug Buzz, Victini with Fire Blast, or a Gengar (a Pokemon with Roar, Whirlwind, or Dragon Tail may help as well so you can get more hits off it). Perhaps the easiest way to defeat Celebi is by using a pokemon that knows Perish Song. Attempting to defeat Celebi isn't recommended if you're trying to beat the level for the first time, as its Solar Beam can kill most pokemon in two to five hits.

Trivia

 * Celebi is not currently obtainable, although if you have one of your pokemon use transform on Celebi it will become a Celebi.
 * Mystery Gift in V4.0 to V4.2 was Celebi Hoodie Avatar. It is one of the few avatars (along with Haunter and Duskull) that doesn't have seperate versions for Boy and Girl.
 * Celebi was one of the available choices of Sam's Birthday Mystery Gift, along with Jirachi, Victini, and Shaymin. Sam announced that none of the remaining pokemon will ever be a Mystery Gift when the winner is chosen, so it is highly unlikely that Celebi will be available in the future, Until the sequel is made.
