Acellutor: /* Height and weight */

==Species==
It's species is the Lone Flower Pokémon. [[User:MasterZ|MasterZ]] ([[User talk:MasterZ|talk]]) 19:08, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== Size ==
It's size is 0.1 meters. Which when converted to inches/feet comes out rounded up to 4 inches. {{unsigned|Hero11}}

== Origin ==

It appears to be based on fairies, pixies, and sprites, as well as the idea of pollination. Also, the fact that it lives and dies with the flower, could be a reference to dyrads and their trees.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 19:01, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

:I think some more or less obvious sources of inspiration are Tinkerbell and Thumbelina as they are both associated with flowers. Also, I think there is such a thing as tulip fairies but I'm not sure. {{unsigned|Fredhigh}}

::It could also be based off of a {{wp|Fairy Ring}}. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 16:18, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

:::Is there perhaps, at least a possibility, that part of its inspiration could be drawn from a [[wp:bee|bee]], as it is on top of a flower, is small, has growths from its head resembling insect wings, possesses what may represent a small [[wp:proboscis|proboscis]], and has a small stinger-like lobe dangling from its abdomen. Plus, it is also roughly the shape of a generic bee. I doubt this is its only inspiration, as I do believe Dialgafan1, Fredhigh, and CoolDudeAl have all brought up interesting origin points, however, I still feel that it may be based, at least in some part, off a generic bee.--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

== height and weight ==

the height and weight have already been confirmed. Add them already! [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 19:38, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

== name ==
Could "bebe" from his name come from the japanese transliteration of the english word "baby"? Bêbê is also baby in Portuguese and Bebé is baby in Spanish.I guess it have a kinda baby-like appearence... - [[User:Ishlishl]]
:"Flower" (フラワー ''furawā'') and ''bébé'' (French for "baby"), I'd wager.—[[User:Urutapu|urutapu]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]]) 22:59, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
English name confirmed. "Flabébé." I wonder what is it's name origin though.
-[[user:구미호 the Ninetales]] 12:24, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
::Is it worth mentioning in the Trivia section that this is the first English Pokémon name containing a letter with diacritics? [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 13:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== Height and weight ==

It is the smallest and lightest Pkmn in the same time,whereas Gastly+Haunter are only the lightest and Joltic is the smallest.
Do you get what I want to say,isn't this Trivia worthy? [[User:Rajjoaby|Rajjoaby]] ([[User talk:Rajjoaby|talk]]) 10:33, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Making it the tiniest Pokemon? I highly doubt gen IV will introduce any smaller Pokemon [[User:Acellutor|Acellutor]] ([[User talk:Acellutor|talk]]) 11:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC).

== Additional things we can note ==

We can note that the flowers carried by Flabebe are not all visually the same, and in trivia we can note this is the first Pokemon to have accent marks in it's name. {{unsigned|CoolDudeAl}}

== I could be mistaken, but ==

Unless I'm missing something, Flabébé might be the only Pokémon so far whose English name uses any sort of accented letter. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 16:15, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

:With loads of new information on Generation 6 being introduced, more important things are being focused on right now. Perhaps once things settle down, there may be more time to add such trivia to the articles. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 16:19, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
::@Landfish7 That response did nothing to address the question being asked and was borderline rude. @Schiffy Yes, that is the only Pokémon with an accented letter, I'll add the trivia now. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:44, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
:::I apologize for coming off as rude. @Schify Yes, Flabébé is the only Pokémon whose English name uses any sort of diacritical mark. I just wanted to be sure you understood that trivia is not a main priority on this wiki, and while trivia can be fun, it should not be prioritized over edits that will improve an article content-wise, or orthographically. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 20:08, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
::::Don't worry Landfish, I didn't perceive it as rude at all. I understand that it's not the top priority for a brand new Pokémon, but I figured it might be noteworthy to bring up for someone to add when they get the chance. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 20:47, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for understanding. Happy editing! --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:03, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== Color? ==

Is it true that one can encounter different colored flabébé with different colored flowers? [[User:Mesuxelf|'''Mes''']][[User talk:Mesuxelf|'''ux''''''elf''']] 18:50, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
:We haven't seen any examples of it so far, so it may just be dex entry fodder. Time will tell if Flabebe's got any variation in flower color. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 19:04, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== Behavior ==

Flabébé searches for a flower early in its life. It will then care for and protect this flower with life. It draws energy out of its flower that it uses in its attacks. [[User:Pokeprof1|Pokeprof1]] ([[User talk:Pokeprof1|talk]]) 05:00, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Korean name for Flabébé ==

Its Korean name is 플라베베 ''Peullabebe''.
* It's a transliteration of its Japanese name. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 18:31, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Is it just me or is it not very well- worded/structured? I'd be happy to make some changes to it, I just wanted to double check with other community members first. [[User:Volsak|Volsak]] 01:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia==
I think it's worth something that every generation has introduced an electric type pokemon based on rodents. Pikachu and Raichu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu [[User:Luord|Luord]] 00:11, 28 May 2010 (UTC)Luord

Can any one find out when the colour of electric attacks changed from yellow to blue? I think it was in Gen III however i also know that some older pokemon keep the yellow attack colour while im almost sure that the new ones have blue. [[User:Tonberry|Tonberry]] 15:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I realized a few things the other day. I'll mention them here for interest:
* Heat {{p|Rotom}} has the only type combination simultaneously resistant to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} attacks.
* Except for Electric itself, every elemental type that resists Electric atacks (i.e. {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ground}}, and {{t|Dragon}}) is vulnerable to {{t|Ice}}.

==Wild Bolt==
What the heck is Wild Bolt? Not a move I've ever heard of, and it's stats are all question-marked. Is this from some side-game? [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 01:59, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
:New move for Shimama, it's from Black and White so not much information has been released yet.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 02:01, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
::We probably shouldn't be adding new moves from Gen V though if we don't have any new information on them yet. Like how anime pages are protected from edits until the episode in question is released. But I'm no moderator or admin, so I'll avoid an edit war over this. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 02:03, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
:::I agree. However, we didn't have it there until today, even though it was released two months ago. However, a user keeps adding Generation V info to the pages. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 02:24, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
==Weakness to electric moves==
If I didn't make any mistake with figures, there should be more species weak to electric type moves, with 158, as compared to the ones weak to ground types moves, which should be 152 ( taking levitate into account ). This should be enough to consider the electric type one of the best offensively along with the classic ice, ground, fire, rock and fighting.

== Weak to Fairy type ==

[[File:Eeveelutions.png|200px]] Clockwise from Flareon and tell me what you think. Considering that Electric is one of only two types to have only one weakness up until now, there's no doubt that Fairy will counters it. Go on and tell me bull****, unconfirmed, unreliable prediction, but this is gonna happen.

The '''Johto''' region (Japanese: '''ジョウト地方''' ''Jōto-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located west of [[Kanto]], and as revealed by the {{DL|Pokégear|radio}} show {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Sinnoh Sound}}, is located south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the setting of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Johto and Kanto are part of a large landmass, with everything west of [[Indigo Plateau]] falling in the Johto region. Though it is unlike Kanto in that its name is not directly based on that of a region of Japan; [[Junichi Masuda]] has come forward in his director's column naming the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都)<ref>http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=218 2009/5/27</ref>; this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]].

First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were not present in [[Generation I|the previous games]]. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are also the names of plants or things related to plants.

Johto returns in [[Generation IV]]'s HeartGold and SoulSilver, with all areas from its Generation II iteration returning, and several new areas being accessible, such as the {{safari|Johto}}, with the new [[Route]]s {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading to it.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Johto}}
[[File:Pokemonworld.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Johto region as the {{wp|Kansai region}}.]]
Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan. This trait is most noticeable in its geography; however, the Kansai influence also defines the culture in Johto. Kansai residents are known for their attitudes against typical Japanese standards, mostly due to the historical rivalry between the region, once the major seat of political power, and the real {{wp|Kantō region}} where Tokyo, the current capital, is located. The soil of the Kansai region is rich, unlike the volcanic Kantō region, and this is perhaps referenced by the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[Berry]] crop in [[Generation III]]. People from Kansai are considered to be more relaxed. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Certain cultural aspects of the Johto region are deep-seated in Japanese history, as well. Kyoto, which is probably the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan. Kyoto and its many historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens and architecture have been preserved. This connection to history is reflected in many areas of Johto. However, Goldenrod City (like Osaka) is typically modern.

==History==
1500 years before modern times, the place now known as the Ruins of Alph was built in Johto, and the earliest known system for writing—the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}—was developed. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the people in question were an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic {{p|Unown}} that bear great similarity to the alphabet letters. Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls describing the Unown, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason.

At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the [[Spear Pillar]]. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of {{p|Arceus}}, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar; this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]; however, the ritual of honoring [[legendary Pokémon]] through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to [[Ecruteak City]].

Approximately 700 years before modern times, the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. They were the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon: {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, respectively. It is unknown what made the residents revere Lugia and Ho-Oh, but a separate tale indicates that Lugia had previously had an encounter with the people of Johto when it stopped a war on the [[Whirl Islands]], which were a single island at that time.
[[File:Brass Tower HGSS.png|thumb|left|The burned [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]]]
The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire, but Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The revived Pokémon were made to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into Johto's grassland. Similarly, both Lugia and Ho-Oh flew away at the sight of the growing distance between people and Pokémon; while they never returned to Ecruteak, they yearned for a person to touch the hearts and souls of Pokémon once more.

Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, the Cianwood City Pharmacy, the world's oldest pharmacy, was built. Around 400 years ago, [[Azalea Town]] in Johto was struck by a long-term drought wave; after bringing the rain back once again by {{m|yawn}}ing, {{p|Slowpoke}} gained an honorable position in that town.

{{Spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Ethan/Kris/Lyra's journey across Johto continues. A revived [[Team Rocket]] from Kanto, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]]; they then proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. When they are defeated and Giovanni fails to return due to {{p|Celebi}}'s intervention, the interim leader, [[Archer]], vows to never again re-form Team Rocket. Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto, later to defeat the [[Lance|current Champion]] and get into the [[Hall of Fame]].

But Ethan/Kris/Lyra's most notable effect on Johto lies in their ability to encounter all three of the [[legendary beasts]], as well as summon the Unown, Lugia and Ho-Oh after their long absence. A new chapter in the region's history begins.

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Johto.png|thumb|right|300px|In-game map of the Johto region from [[Generation IV]] games]]
Johto has ten [[List of cities and towns by name|cities and towns]]. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Safari Zone Gate]] and [[Frontier Access]] act as towns, but they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. As Johto has no autonomous [[Pokémon League]], Kanto shares a League with the region, which borders between Johto and Kanto. Because of this, the two regions share a connection with each other, and unlike any other region, they are able to be traversed to with relative ease. Due to this landmass connection, the geography of Johto is relatively similar to that of its neighbor region.

The Johto region has 20 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Johto and Kanto share the same route system, and therefor starts at {{rt|29|Johto}}, picking up from where Kanto's left off at {{rt|28|Kanto}}. The numbered routes count up to 48, with Routes {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading off into the far west only being accessible in [[Generation IV]]. Compared to the Kanto region, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. Some areas such as {{rt|33|Johto}} are constantly raining, or are purged with other [[weather conditions]]; however, this wasn't seen until [[Generation IV]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto doesn't appear to be a fine line; but more or less a blurry one. {{rt|28|Kanto}} is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes {{rtn|26|Kanto}} and {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

===Demographics===
The Johto region, including all the towns, cities, and other areas, the total population in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is 441.

[[File:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|300px|thumb|View of [[Ecruteak City]], with [[Mt. Silver]] towering over the region in the distance]]
Johto features some unique and scenic landmarks, whether they be natural or man-made. It prides itself towards mythology and tradition features, with most of the buildings, towers, caves, and locations holding a historical background. Some of the oldest places in Johto, even the Pokémon world, include the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Sprout Tower]], [[Bell Tower]], [[Burned Tower]], and the [[Slowpoke Well]]. The Ruin of Alph, located in central Johto, is the threshold to an ancient civilization that first contacted the Unown, and became the base of which the first system for writing was formed. The Ruins of Alph have said to have been around for at least 1500 year before modern times which makes it one of the first known structures built in the history of Pokémon. As of today, the ruins are being researched by scientists and are able to be visited as a tourist attraction by visitors. The two towers of Ecruteak City which include the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]] are oldest towers in the Pokémon world, dating back to 700 years ago. The two nine-tier towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people and the view from the top of the towers was said to be magnificent. The towers attracted many people to the city, until about 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the western tower, engulfing it in flames, burning the tower down. The towers are surrounded in mystery, and are said to be home to [[legendary Pokémon]], however, at this present point, only the ruins of the Burned Tower can be explored by Trainers, and the Bell Tower is off limits to most people.

Another famous historic location is the Sprout Tower, located in northern Violet City. The Sprout Tower is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, and much like the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]], it is constructed solely out of wood, creating a multi-story effect. Surrounding the tower is a beautiful lake in the center of Violet City, hosting several architectural bridges making its way across the water. Sprout Tower is dedicated to the gentle and peaceful nature of {{p|Bellsprout}}. The giant spine-like pillar located in the center of the tower acts as a support for the old tower structure, and it even protects the tall tower from sudden earthquakes. It is said that the main swaying pillar was, in fact, once a 100-foot-tall Bellsprout. Spout Tower is four stories tall. The ground floor is much like a visitors floor, where tourists come to see the unique style of which the tower was formed. There are three other upper levels, which are dedicated to Pokémon Training; monks who study diligently and train their gentle {{p|Bellsprout}} come to teach that all living beings coexist through cooperation.
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|250px|left|An unique map of Johto]]
Johto also features several different kinds of natural caves and mountains including [[Mt. Mortar]], [[Mt. Silver]], [[Dark Cave]], [[Ice Path]], [[Cliff Cave]], and [[Union Cave]]. Mt. Mortar is a cave complex that travels through Johto's north-most mountain range. It is known by Trainers to be a confusing maze-like area with an interior cave known as the Waterfall Cave. Mt. Mortar has three entrances and is huge inside, one of the largest of all caves in the Johto. It has four floors, and its high Pokémon-encounter rate makes getting lost very costly. It has {{m|Surf}}able waterways, {{m|Waterfall}}s, {{m|Strength}} puzzles, and multiple levels. Dark Cave travels through central Johto, and although the dark caves run beneath the surface of the region, the mountain range is large and a barrier between areas of the region. Mt. Silver, in the east, is also quite large and complex splitting the two regions of Kanto and Johto in half, housing many powerful Pokémon, and it is where the most skilled Trainers train their Pokémon. Another natural landmark in Johto is [[Ilex Forest]] located just west of Azalea Town. The forest's trees are so close together that all light is blocked out, and the forest seems to be in a perpetual night.

Some famous man-made landmarks include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}}. The Goldenrod Radio Tower is a five-story tower located next to the Magnet Train station in downtown Goldenrod City. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk and Buena's Password. For a short period time the tower fell victim to the clutches of Team Rocket, during which time none of the normal broadcasts were aired. The {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}} are all recently built attractions which provide entertainment and fun for tourists, allowing visitors to participate in activities and rides which require the help of Pokémon to complete.

Although the Johto region prides itself on the beach and some of its sea-side towns, the region has very few aquatic landmarks. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the region's most prominent water attraction, said to have been a smoking crater until it filled with rainwater. The lake is home to the world famous [[red Gyarados]]. Because of this irritable Pokémon, the lake was marked a dangerous place to go, since the Gyarados started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers. Another famous water landmark is the [[Whirl Islands]]. Named after the dangerous whirlpools that surround them, the Whirl Islands are four islands between Olivine and Cianwood City that are connected by a maze-like cavernous structure under the water's surface. It is said that at the heart of the caves a legendary Pokémon can be found.

==Geography==
The Johto region, like its neighboring region, [[Kanto]], has a temperate climate. However, Johto's climate is a bit wetter than Kanto's climate.

Johto is notably more rural than the Kanto region, which leans more towards to the urban side. The region has an abundance of water to the west and south, with [[Cianwood City]] most likely being on a separate landmass. However, Johto is still dominated by land. Johto's ultra-modern [[Goldenrod City]] is found in the heart of the region, on the coast. It is the technological, industrial, and economic area of the Johto region. Due to its centralized position in the region, many smaller but important cities and towns connect to the city. Johto has one large mountain range encompassing almost the entire eastern half of the region, which divides Kanto and Johto and contains [[Mt. Silver]]. [[Blackthorn City]] is nestled deep between the mountains and is very unique because it is a city for {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s.

==Johto League==
{{main|Johto League}}
The Johto League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Johto region. Johto and Kanto share a single [[Elite Four]], located at Indigo Plateau. Eight Johto League [[Badge]]s are required to participate in [[Pokémon League#Types of competitions|League competitions]]. The [[Indigo League]] and Johto League share a single group of Elite Four and {{pkmn|Champion}}; eight Badges from either region will allow a Trainer to battle the Elite Four at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Less commonly, it is known as the "Silver League", usually when referring to the {{pkmn|anime}}. The [[Silver Conference]] is the Johto League's annual [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|championship competition]]. It is held at the base of Mt. Silver.

==Trivia==
[[File:Johto Anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime-based map of the Johto region]]
* It is the only region in which [[Ash Ketchum]] did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
* Johto lacks many elements that all other regions have. Most of these omissions are due to both sharing them with [[Kanto]], which could be visited in the same games, and recycling old concepts not being the norm. Therefore, it is the only region without:
** a Pokémon burial ground
** its own set of [[Fossil]] Pokémon
** its own [[Victory Road]]
** a museum
** prior to Generation IV, Johto was also the only region without a [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|true regional Pokédex]].
* Johto shares its [[Pokémon League]], [[Bill|Storage System developer]], and [[Team Rocket|villainous team]] with Kanto.
* Johto is the only main series region that does not contain the letter 'n' in its English name.
* In Generation II and IV, between Johto and [[Kanto]], the Dark type and the Ground type are the only types not represented by an official Gym. [[Viridian City]], whose previous Gym Leader [[Giovanni]], had the Ground type. However, when Giovanni left the Gym after being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he was replaced by {{ga|Blue}}, who does not have a type specialty. [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon, making the Ground type the only type to not have a [[Gym Leader]] or Elite Four member specialized in it in Johto and Kanto for Generation II and IV.
* Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from "[[faraway place]]" when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]], much like Pokémon caught in a Platinum-exclusive location do when traded to Diamond or Pearl.
* Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
* Johto is the only main region in which all the [[starter Pokémon]], throughout their evolutions, stay one [[type]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Fire}}).
* Johto has the fewest [[route]]s of any region with 20; however, {{2v2|Black|White}} [[Unova]] has 18 routes, like [[Generation II]] Johto.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]] Johto is the only region in which no main characters challenged any of the Gyms, though {{adv|Silver}} stole the eight Gym Badges.

Weather

2012-06-02T05:33:40Z

Acellutor:

'''Weather conditions''' (Japanese: '''てんき''' ''Weather'') are mechanics of the Pokémon games, and have been included in every main series game since [[Generation II]]. The weather system was expanded on in [[Generation III]], and again further expanded in [[Generation IV]]. In each generation, the weather has been determined either by the location of the battle or the Pokémon involved. Only one weather condition may be present at one time, and only the most recent weather condition will take effect.

==Characteristics==
In all generations since [[Generation II]], some moves, such as {{m|Thunder}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}, take advantage of certain weather conditions and have increased power or accuracy. Other moves can directly cause or cease weather, such as {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Defog}}. Beginning in Generation III, some [[Ability|Abilities]] have revolved around weather effects: {{p|Groudon|two}} {{p|Kyogre|members}} of the [[weather trio]] can {{a|Drought|cause}} {{a|Drizzle|changes}} in the weather; while the {{p|Rayquaza|other}} {{a|Air Lock|neutralizes}} it.

===Weather-utilization===
{{main|Castform}}
One of the {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|Pokémon introduced in Generation III}} was designed to take full advantage of the varying weather conditions. In a battle, where no weather effects are present, Castform is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. However, when any of the effects besides a sandstorm or Shadow Sky are applied, Castform's type and shape change to match the weather, due to its Ability, {{a|Forecast}}. Also, when it is leveled up, it learns a move called {{m|Weather Ball}}, which also changes type with the weather, doubling its power when any weather was in effect. Unlike Forecast, Weather Ball's type differs even in a sandstorm, becoming a {{type|Rock}} move, and Shadow Sky, becoming a {{type|???}} move.

==History==
===Generation II===
In the Generation II games, three [[move]]s were introduced that could change the weather during a battle to alter the playing field slightly. These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which caused intense sunlight for five rounds, which allowed a Pokémon to attack with {{m|SolarBeam}} without waiting a turn; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which caused heavy rain for five rounds, which increased {{m|Thunder}}'s accuracy to 100%; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which caused a sandstorm. These three moves can change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{type|Water}} moves, and powering down the other, respectively, and a sandstorm slightly damaging any Pokémon that are not {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type|Steel}}.

Although weather conditions were introduced in this generation, they could not be seen in the overworld until the next generation.

===Generation III===
The Generation III games introduced a new weather condition: hail. Hail is caused by the identically titled move {{m|Hail}}, which, like {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}} before it, changes the weather for five turns. Hail, similar to sandstorm, slightly damages all Pokémon that are not {{type|Ice}} each turn.

The [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} have weather-related Abilities. Ruby's {{p|Groudon}}'s {{a|Drought}} causes intense sunlight until the battle ends or another weather effect takes its place; likewise, Sapphire's {{p|Kyogre}}'s {{a|Drizzle}} causes heavy rain until the battle ends or another weather effect takes its place. Emerald's {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{a|Air Lock}} suppresses the effect of all weather conditions, but the weather itself continues. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Golduck}} can also have the Ability {{a|Cloud Nine}}, which has the same effect as Air Lock.

During a specific part of the game, Groudon and Kyogre's weather effects can be seen out of battle, throughout the Hoenn region. Some routes are also naturally affected by the weather: {{rt|119|Hoenn}} is often covered in rain; {{rt|111|Hoenn}} has an area in which a sandstorm always blows. These field weather effects carry onto later games. A location in Hoenn, the [[Weather Institute]], is dedicated to the study of weather. The Weather Institute is said to have created {{p|Castform}}, a Pokémon that changes with the weather.

{{p|Tyranitar}} has the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}, which causes a sandstorm until the battle ends or another weather effect takes its place. Other Pokémon have abilities that benefit from weather that is already in effect, such as {{p|Lotad}}'s {{a|Rain Dish}}.

===Generation IV===
In the Generation IV games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there are routes which are constantly affected by rain, sandstorm, or snow. A new weather condition was also introduced: fog. Unlike the other conditions, fog cannot be caused by a move; instead it appears in certain areas, and {{m|Defog}} can remove it.

A new Ability is introduced that acts as a counterpart to some of the Abilities introduced in Generation III. {{a|Snow Warning}} causes a hailstorm for the duration of the battle, in the same way as {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Sand Stream}}. Four [[held item]]s were also introduced, which each correspond to a certain weather condition and will increase the duration of the weather condition, if caused by a move used by the holder, by three turns.

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, {{m|Gravity}} makes all Pokémon fall to the ground, enabling all Pokémon to be susceptible to things such as {{type2|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, and others; decreases the {{stat|Evasion}} of all Pokémon by two stages; as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. {{m|Trick Room}} makes slower Pokémon attack first, and {{m|Tailwind}} doubles the {{stat|Speed}} of the user's team for three turns.

[[Acid rain]], a weather-related glitch, is present in {{3v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, in which all weather conditions are present at once.

===Generation V===
Generation V introduced [[seasons]], which can affect the occurrence of weather in certain cities and routes. For instance, in [[Driftveil City]], hail and snow are present only during the winter, while rain is common during the spring and autumn. The Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} cause a storm on the route they are on, which is treated as rain in battle. Despite still being present on some routes, fog is no longer present in battles and cannot be removed via {{m|Defog}}.

Also introduced were several new abilities that make use of the weather. {{a|Sand Rush}} and {{a|Sand Force}} both benefit a Pokémon during a sandstorm, while {{a|Overcoat}} negates the damage taken in a hailstorm and sandstorm. With the addition of Hidden Abilities, many old Pokémon now have access to weather-related Abilities. Most notability, {{a|Drought}} and {{a|Drizzle}}, previously available only to {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, are now available to more Pokémon. Specifically, {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}} now have access to {{a|Drought}}, while {{p|Politoed}} now has access to {{a|Drizzle}}.

==Types of weathers==
There have been six different weather conditions that affect battling in the [[version|main series]] of Pokémon games, and six different conditions that have effects in the overworld.

It also occurs in the most western areas of the [[Unova]] region during the [[Seasons|wintertime]]. This overworld condition does not result in an in-battle condition.
** Heavy snow: Snow falls more quickly and heavily, falling diagonally from one of the top corners of the screen (leaving the impression that it is being carried by strong winds), and sometimes appears to be mixed with hail. Found on {{rt|216|Sinnoh}}, [[Acuity Lakefront]] and sometimes in [[Icirrus City]] and {{rt|8|Unova}} during the Winter. In battle this overworld condition results in a hailstorm.

Ice tile

2012-05-30T09:28:41Z

Acellutor:

An '''ice tile''' is a special type of tile introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and has appeared in all [[version|main series]] games since. There are two types.

==Types of ice tile==
===Slippery ice tile===
[[File:Slip ice demo.gif|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Ethan}} slides around the [[Ice Path]].]]
When the player moves onto this tile, they will slide in the direction which they walk. They will continue sliding in this direction until they hit an obstacle or land on another form of tile. This type of ice tile was first introduced in Generation II. Its most prominent use is in [[Mahogany Gym]] and [[Ice Path]]; it has continued to be featured in all generations since. The slippery ice tile is used to create maze-like puzzles, in which the player has to work out which way to slide and what obstacles to hit in order to continue. It has also been used in [[Shoal Cave]], [[Icefall Cave]], [[Snowpoint Gym]], [[Snowpoint Temple]], [[Cold Storage]], [[Icirrus Gym]] and one of the areas inside the Badge Check Gate on [[Unova Route 10]]. In [[seasons|winter]] in the [[Unova]] region, [[puddle]]s freeze over and act as slippery ice tiles; these puddles are found in [[Icirrus City]], {{rt|8|Unova}}, and the [[Moor of Icirrus]]. A similar slippery tile is used in the [[Trick House]], though it is not made of ice.

===Cracked ice tile===
This form of tile was first introduced in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} in [[Sootopolis Gym]]. If a player walks on the tile once, the ice becomes cracked. If the player walks over a cracked tile, the [[hole|ice will break]] and the player will fall through to a cavern below. This type of tile was also featured alongside the slippery variety in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in [[Icefall Cave]].

==In battle==
In Generation IV, ice gives {{m|Secret Power}} a 30% chance of {{stat|freezing}} its target and gives it the appearance of {{m|Avalanche}}; it causes {{m|Nature Power}} to become {{m|Blizzard}}.

In Generation V, ice gives {{m|Secret Power}} a 30% chance of {{stat|freezing}} its target and gives it the appearance of {{m|Avalanche}}; it causes {{m|Nature Power}} to become {{m|Ice Beam}}.

{{m|Camouflage}} makes the user {{type|Ice}} when used on ice.

Gym guide

2012-04-16T07:27:34Z

Acellutor: Sarcastic explanation.

[[File:Gym guide.png|thumb|right|240px|[[Castelia Gym]]'s guide, as seen in {{2v2|Black|White}}]]
The '''Gym guide''' is a title in the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]] belongs to at least five characters, each corresponding to a different [[region]]. In each case, the guide is usually found at the front of a Pokémon [[Gym]], ready to offer tactical advice to novice {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. He can occasionally be sarcastic in nature.

Some gyms are unique, in that their guide seems to roam outside its walls. The [[Celadon Gym]] guide is not seen in his Gym, and appears instead at the [[Rocket Game Corner]], where he plays the [[slot machine]]s. Similarly, the [[Cianwood Gym]] guide is found in the [[Cianwood City|city]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] instead of the Gym. The [[Petalburg Gym]] guide will vanish after the {{player}} has defeated [[Norman]], and, in [[Generation II]] only, the [[Cinnabar Gym]] guide will arrive after [[Blaine]] has been defeated.

No official name was released for the gym guide in the first four generations. This gave rise to the [[fanon]] name "Jim Gai"—a pun on "Gym guy".

In [[Generation V]], he is given the name '''Clyde''' (Japanese: '''ガイドー''' ''Gaido'') and if the player talks to him before their Gym battle, he will give a [[Fresh Water]]; at the [[Striaton Gym]] and [[Nacrene Gym]], he approaches the player and gives it, rather than requiring the player to approach him.

:''"Just as I thought! You're Pokémon champ material!"''

====[[Cerulean Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! Here's my advice! The Leader, Misty, is a pro who uses water Pokémon! You can drain all their water with plant Pokémon! Or, zap them with electricity!"''

====[[Vermilion Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! Lt.Surge has a nickname. People refer to him as the Lightning American! He's an expert on electric Pokémon! Birds and water Pokémon are at risk! Beware of paralysis too! Lt.Surge is very cautious! You'll have to break a code to get to him!"''

:''"Yo! Champ in making! Fuchsia Gym is a tricked up place. It's riddled with invisible walls! Koga might appear close, but he's blocked off. You have to find gaps in the walls to reach him."''
:''"It's amazing how ninja can terrify, even now!"''

====[[Saffron Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! Sabrina's Pokémon use psychic power instead of force! Fighting Pokémon are weak against psychic Pokémon! They get creamed before they can even aim a punch!"''

==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===
====[[Violet Gym]]====
:''"Hey! I'm no trainer but I can give some advice! Believe me! If you believe, a championship dream can come true. You believe? Then listen. The grass-type is weak against the flying-type. Keep this in mind."''
:''"Nice battle! Keep it up, and you'll be the champ in no time at all!"''

====[[Azalea Gym]]====
:''"Yo, challenger! Bugsy's young, but his knowledge of bug Pokémon is for real. It's going to be tough without my advice. Let's see... Bug Pokémon don't like fire. Flying-type moves are super-effective too."''
:''"Well done! That was a great clash of talented young trainers. With people like you, the future of Pokémon is bright!"''

====[[Goldenrod Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! This Gym is home to normal-type Pokémon trainers. I recommend you use fighting-type Pokémon."''
:''"You won? Great! I was busy admiring the ladies here."''

====[[Ecruteak Gym]]====
:''"The trainers here have secret motives. If you win, they may tell you some deep secrets about Ecruteak."''
:''"Whew, [[player character|<player>]]. You did great! I was cowering in the corner out of pure terror!"''

====[[Olivine Gym]]====
:''"Jasmine, the Gym Leader, is at the Lighthouse. She's been tending to a sick Pokémon. A strong trainer has to be compassionate. Jasmine uses the newly discovered steel-type. I don't know very much about it."''
:''"That was awesome. The steel-type, huh? That was a close encounter of an unknown kind!"''

====[[Mahogany Gym]]====
:''"Pryce is a veteran who has trained Pokémon for some 50 years. He's said to be good at freezing opponents with ice-type moves. That means you should melt him with your burning ambition!"''
:''"Pryce is something, but you're something else! That was a hot battle that bridged the generation gap!"''

====[[Blackthorn Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! It's been a long journey, but we are almost done! Count on me! Clair uses the mythical and sacred dragon-type Pokémon. You can't damage them very easily. But you know, they're supposed to be weak against ice-type moves."''
:''"You were great to beat Clair! All that's left is the Pokémon League challenge. You're on the way to becoming the Pokémon Champion!"''

====[[Vermilion Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! You lucked out this time. Lt.Surge is very cautious. He has traps set all over the Gym. But--he-heh--the traps aren't active right now. You'll have no problem getting to Lt.Surge."''
:''"Whew! That was an electrifying bout! It sure made me nervous."''

====[[Saffron Gym]]====
:''"Yo, Champ in making! A trainer as skilled as you doesn't need to be told how to deal with psychic-type Pokémon , right? I expect great things from you! Good luck!"''
:''"That was another fantastic battle!"''

====[[Cerulean Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! Since Misty was away, I went out for some fun too. He-he-he."''
:''"Hoo, you showed me how tough you are. As always, that was one heck of a great battle!"''

====[[Fuchsia Gym]]====
:''"Yo, Champ in making! Whoops! Take a good look around you. The trainers all look like the Leader, Janine. Which of them is the real Janine?"''
:''"That was a great battle, trainer from Johto!"''

====[[Pewter Gym]]====
:''"Yo! Champ in making! You're really rocking. Are you battling the Gym Leaders of Kanto? They're strong and dedicated people, just like Johto's Gym Leaders."''
:''"Yo! Champ in making! That Gym didn't give you much trouble. The way you took charge was really inspiring. I mean that seriously."''

====[[Cinnabar Gym]]====
:''"Yo! ... Huh? It's over already? Sorry, dude! Cinnabar Gym was gone, so I didn't know where to find you. But, hey, you're plenty strong even without my advice. I knew you'd win!"''
:''"A Pokémon Gym can be anywhere as long as the Gym Leader is there. They're no need for a building."''

====[[Viridian Gym]]====
:''"Yo, Champ in making! How's it going? Looks like you're on a roll. The Gym Leader is a guy who battled the Champion three years ago. He's no pushover. Give it everything you've got!"''
:''"Man, you are truly tough... That was a heck of an inspirational battle. It brought tears to my eyes."''

==={{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}===
====[[Rustboro Gym]]====
:''"Yo, how's it going? Listen, my friend! Would you like to become the CHAMPION? I'm no TRAINER, not me, but I can sure give you winning advice. That's settled, then! We'll aim for the POKéMON CHAMPIONSHIP together! It's your job as a TRAINER to collect GYM BADGES, am I right? But GYM LEADERS aren't pushovers! And that's where I come in! I'm here to provide expert advice! ROXANNE, the GYM LEADER, is a user of ROCK-type POKéMON. The ROCK type is very durable, but it can't stand WATER-type and GRASS-type moves. Come see me afterwards, if you beat the GYM LEADER. Well, go for it!"''
:''"Whoa! What a breathtaking victory! My cheering must've worked! Great! Check your TRAINER CARD. The STONE BADGE you got should be properly recorded on it. In other words... You've climbed the first step on the stairs to the CHAMPIONSHIP! That's got to feel awesome!"''

====[[Dewford Gym]]====
:''"Hey, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? DEWFORD's GYM LEADER BRAWLY commands FIGHTING-type POKéMON. Going against him with NORMAL-type POKéMON is asking for trouble. FIGHTING POKéMON will lay a serious smack down on NORMAL POKéMON, so be careful! What's worse, the GYM is as dark as the ocean floor. But it will get brighter after defeating the TRAINERS in your way. Hey, okay, go for it!"''
:''"Whoah! It's turned too bright in here! Your future is bright, too!"''

====[[Mauville Gym]]====
:''"Hey, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? WATTSON, the LEADER of MAUVILLE GYM, uses ELECTRIC-type POKéMON. If you challenge him with WATER-type POKéMON, he'll zap them! Bzzt! And, he's put in switch-controlled doors all over his GYM! Eccentric! Hey, go for it!"''
:''"Whoa, you're electrifying! You've powered the door open!"''

====[[Lavaridge Gym]]====
:''"Hey, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? LAVARIDGE's GYM LEADER FLANNERY uses FIRE-type POKéMON. Her passion for POKéMON burns stronger and hotter than a volcano. Don't get too close to her--you'll burn! Hose her down with water and then go for it!"''
:''"Yow! That was a scorching hot battle!"''

====[[Petalburg Gym]]====
:''"Hey, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? The doors in this GYM open when you beat the awaiting TRAINERS. Whoops! The doors in this room are already open, so don't attack me! The TRAINERS of PETALBURG GYM use all kinds of items. The door at the left leads to the SPEED ROOM. The door at the right leads to the ACCURACY ROOM. The room's name will be on the door, so choose carefully. Once you've chosen the door... Well, hey, go for it!"''
:''"<player>! Woah! You've overcome even your own father! Like, whoa! What a stunning turn of events!"''

====[[Fortree Gym]]====
:''"Yo, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? FORTREE GYM LEADER WINONA is a master of FLYING-type POKéMON. She's waiting at the back of this GYM, behind the rotating doors. She's waiting for new challengers who are trying to take wing! Okay, go for it!"''
:''"You did it! You've achieved liftoff!"''

====[[Mossdeep Gym]]====
:''"Yo, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? The GYM LEADERS here use PSYCHIC-type POKéMON. If you go up against them with FIGHTING-type or POISON-type POKéMON, they'll inflict horrible damage! Plus, they'll come at you with outstanding combination attacks. If you want to win, you'll need to show them how tight you are with your POKéMON. Go for it!"''
:''"Wow, you're astounding! You're one great TRAINER!"''

====[[Sootopolis Gym]]====
:''"Yo! How's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? SOOTOPOLIS's GYM LEADER {{tt|WALLACE|'Juan' in Emerald}} is a master of WATER-type POKéMON. And, to get to {{tt|WALLACE|'Juan' in Emerald}}, an icy floor will hamper your progress... Listen, I'm sorry, but that's all the advice that I have for you. The rest of the way, you have to go for it yourself!"''
:''"Yow! You've beaten even {{tt|WALLACE|'Juan' in Emerald}}, who was supposedly the best in all HOENN! Okay! Check out your {{tt|TRAINER's CARD|'TRAINER CARD' in Emerald}}. If you've gotten all the BADGES, you're set for the POKéMON LEAGUE challenge!"''

==={{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}===
====[[Oreburgh Gym]]====
:''"Howdy! How's it going, Champ-to-be? That's what I said to a really impatient boy earlier, too. The Gym Leader is a user of Rock-type Pokémon. Well, listen. Rock-type Pokémon really hate water, all right? They're also weak to Grass-type moves. Gee, they sure have weaknesses! But don't think it will be easy. You don't get to be a Gym Leader without covering for weaknesses. Going after a Rock-type Pokémon with a Fire-type Pokémon won't be easy, either. That's all the advice I can give. Thanks for listening!"''
:''"Oh! [[player character|<Player>]]! You've taken care of the Gym Leader! So, did my advice come in handy or what? If my advice was useful, it'd be great if you'd become my fan!"''

====[[Eterna Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Actually, that's what I said to some boy who zipped in here earlier, too! The Gym Leader, Gardenia, is a user of Grass-type Pokémon. It should be obvious, but Grass-type Pokémon really hate fire. They're also at a huge disadvantage against the Flying type, too. Oh, wait a second. I should tell you about the Gym itself first. You can't challenge the Gym Leader until you beat all the Gym's Trainers. It's a bit challenging, but just think of it as good training and go for it!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Your Pokémon look much tougher than when they went in, too! At least that's how I see it!"''

====[[Hearthome Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? This Gym is some kind of wicked! What's wicked about it? I'll tell you! First, it's pitch-black! Oh, no worries, though! I have a flashlight right for you. Also, there are the usual Gym Trainers. They have flashlights, too. If you cast a light on one, or they catch you in the light, the battle's on! OK, now this is really important! It's about the tiles on the floor. First, find the one blue tile in the room, and memorize the mark on it. Next, head for the red door with the same mark on it. Advance through the correct red doors to reach the Gym Leader. If you choose a wrong red door, you get sent back here, though. That's how this place is. Go get 'em, Champ-to-be!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! There seems to be no end to how tough you are getting! At least that's how I see it! ...You do realize I say that to everyone, right?"''

====[[Veilstone Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? The Gym Leader is a user of Fighting-type Pokémon. She'd be a terror against Normal-type Pokémon. But! And it's a big but! Just between you and me... Maylene, the Gym Leader, said Flying- and Psychic-type Pokémon could be real trouble for her! If you want to battle her, smack the punching bags along the rails. You have to hit those bags hard!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Of course, I thought you'd win."''

====[[Pastoria Gym]]====
:''"The Gym Leader Wake... Uh, I mean Crasher Wake, is a master of Water-type Pokémon. I'd say you've got guts if you try to face down Water types with Fire- or Ground-type Pokémon! But that part I'll leave up to you! Go and have some good battles!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! So, how was it? Did you enjoy your battle against Wake... I mean Crasher Wake? Sure, winning is important, but don't forget to have fun, too! I think Wake... I mean Crasher Wake, showed you what I mean by fun."''

====[[Canalave Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! Champ-to-be! The Gym Leader here uses Steel-type Pokémon. Steel-type Pokémon have high Defense, so you'd have to hit them hard!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Good going! That makes it six Gym Badges! I tell you what, you're really turning into one fine Trainer. If you were to say you're going to try to become the Pokémon Champ... No one'd laugh at you now! I'm in your corner, kiddo!"''

====[[Snowpoint Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Do you see the big snowballs placed here and there? You need to slide on the ice with enough momentum to crush them. The Gym Leader is a user of Ice-type Pokémon. Melt her defenses with scorching-hot Fire-type moves! It's all about focus with this Gym! Bear down and focus!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! You were more focused than her, and your Pokémon picked up on it!"''

====[[Sunyshore Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Let me check out your Trainer Case. Let's see how many Badges you have. One, two, three... Woah! Wow! You've already got seven! That means if you can beat this Gym Leader, you're on your way to the Pokémon League next. That also means this is the last time I get to give you advice. This is it, kiddo! Listen carefully... one last time! The Gym Leader here is a master of Electric-type Pokémon! That's all I have to say! The rest is up to you!"''

==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
====[[Striaton Gym]]====
:''"Hello! I'm Clyde. I'm the guide for Trainers challenging a Pokémon Gym. We appreciate your challenging the Gym. Take this to commemorate the occasion. One basic element of Pokémon battles is the relationship between types. If you choose Pokémon with effective types and effective moves, victory is just a step away! In this Gym, you progress by stepping on the switch with the type that is effective against the Pokémon type shown on the curtain."''
:''"I hope you'll always remember the incredible moment when you received this Gym Badge."''

====[[Nacrene Gym]]====
:''"A Pokémon Gym where a Leader waits for a challenger at the back of a museum... It has a great atmosphere, doesn't it? So... I will give this to you! All Trainers in this Gym use Normal-type Pokémon. This is just between you and me... Normal-type Pokémon are weak against Fighting-type Pokémon. Around here, Fighting-type Pokémon show up around Pinwheel Forest. Now, I will explain about the Gym itself! In this Pokémon Gym, if you answer questions hidden in books, you can move forward. For your information, the first book is "Nice to Meet You, Pokémon." If you don't know where the book is, please ask anyone!"'''
:''"Did you hear it? Strange people came charging through the museum... Oh! The Gym Badge!! Congratulations! So, the museum! Oh, no. What shall we do?!"''
:''"I love to compare the expressions when a Trainer comes here for the first time and when a Trainer wins the Gym Badge."''

====[[Castelia Gym]]====
:''"The Gym Leader said he was going to Prime Pier and left for a little bit. You're welcome to go track him down."''
:''"What do you think of Castelia City? I bet, with all of the bustling people, you started feeling worn down on your way to the Gym! Never mind! This will help. Take it! The theme of this Gym is walking through walls. At first glance, these funny honey walls may look impassible or even impossible. If you try hard, it'll work out. So I say. But...if it doesn't, here's a sweet tip: step on the switches on the floor!"''
:''"Wow! That's amazing. You swatted aside our Gym Leader Burgh's tricky attacks... I can barely imagine how much stronger you're going to get!"''

====[[Nimbasa Gym]]====

:''"How about it? I can see you're surprised! Would you ever have guessed that this Gym is a roller coaster? OK, let me fill you in... And take this, too! In this roller coaster Gym, the first step is to get in the car. Next comes the platform! There, you can change where the coaster is going! Sometimes you continue by riding the cars of opponents you defeat. That's how you aim for the Gym Leader! By the way, Electric-type Pokémon don't do well against Ground-type moves..."''
:''"Elesa uses sparkling bright Electric-type attacks! But the combination of you and your Pokémon was even more impressive! It was... It was... an emotional roller coaster."''

====[[Driftveil Gym]]====
:''"I'm sure it was tough dealing with all that right after you arrived here. For now, I'll just give you this! The Gym Leader Clay uses Ground-type Pokémon! Well, just between you and me, Ground-type Pokémon aren't good against Water-type attacks. Kinda makes me wonder why Clay is living next to water."''
:''"Every now and again, I hope you look at the Gym Badge you won here and remember the battle!"''

====[[Mistralton Gym]]====
:''"Skyla completed her cargo-plane run. She must gone somewhere after. Maybe to the Celestial Tower on Route 7?"''
:''"Please take this Fresh Water! Just between you and me... Rock, Electric, Ice... Flying types have more weaknesses than people know about. If you use Pokémon and moves of those types, victory is practically yours! By the way, to proceed in this Gym, you climb in the cannons to move forward. The cannons go up, down, left, and right. You can get in them from anywhere!"''
:''"Woo! Not many people look that good being shot out of a cannon... You make it look easy! And congratulations on your victory against the Gym Leader."''

====[[Icirrus Gym]]====
:''"Please take this Fresh Water! Ice can be melted with Fire or shattered with Fighting. Or you might want to smash it into dust with Rock or Steel."''
:''"From Brycen, I've learned how to say more with fewer words."''

====[[Opelucid Gym]]====
:''"Welcome to the Opelucid Gym, the Unova region's strongest and biggest trial! First off, please take this Fresh Water. It'll help you in the challenge ahead. Let me give you a brief explanation of the trick to the Opelucid Gym! The path around this Gym is shaped like two dragons. This path changes when you step on the switches on the dragons' arms. Pay attention to how the dragons' necks move!"''
:''"You beat the Gym Leader? Wow, that's amazing! Oh, by the way, since I gave you all that Fresh Water... Don't you owe me some of your winnings? ...I'm kidding! It's just a joke! No, seriously, congratulations!"''

A '''Pokémon movie''' is released in Japanese theaters in July, centering on [[Pokémon]] and following, as the [[Pokémon anime|main anime]], [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}}. Typically, the movies' animation is done by [[Team Koitabashi]] of OLM (''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' being the only one taken by another, [[Team Wasaki]]), and each has at least one hour of footage. The first six movies also have a [[Pikachu short]] that was shown before the movie.

Movies, with little exception, center around and feature [[legendary Pokémon]] which are either not at all or very rarely seen in the main anime, often with the legendary Pokémon causing some sort of disaster with its powers or being pursued by someone with less than noble tendencies. Ash and his friends will often befriend a Pokémon during the movie and must, at the end, say goodbye to their new friend.

The locations in which the movies take place have been, since ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', based on a real-world location outside of Japan. Topics explored are typically deeper than those explored in the [[List of anime episodes|episodes]] aired on TV, with the battle between greedy people who would use Pokémon for evil and those like Ash who are friends and partners to their Pokémon being a central issue in several movies.

When they open in Japan, they usually gross a large amount of money, typically ranking first for their premiere weekend. A few years ago, [[M11|one movie]] drew in a significant crowd despite the fact that it was released in the same weekend as a {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film. In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the [[original series]], were released in theaters, however, the movies continue to be dubbed, being released directly to home video and, since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', airing on [[Cartoon Network]] early in the year. Recently the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] saw a limited theatrical release as part of the "Pokémon Black Version and White Version Mall Tour". On December 3rd and 4th, 2011, ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' received a limited commercial release in US theaters, making it the first movie since ''Pokémon Heroes'' to receive a commercial theatrical release.

To date there have been fourteen theatrical Pokémon movies and three movie-length special episodes.

==Relation to the main anime==
Generally, Pokémon movies have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime and fans will argue as to whether or not they are considered true canon. Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the legendary Pokémon are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. Other details introduced in movies, such as Ash's [[aura]] abilities, have in fact been referenced by the main anime. As details of earlier episodes are sometimes contradicted by later ones, such as May claiming to have used {{TP|May|Skitty}} in the {{To|Fallarbor}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'' when she actually used {{TP|May|Beautifly}} in ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', this is generally presumed to carry over into the movies as well.

It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to be generally ambiguous in regard to their canon status, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' makes there no difference as to whether or not the movie is canon. As the series has progressed, however, more references to past movies have been made, with Ash recognizing a {{p|Latios}} immediately in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', despite having never seen another aside from the one which appeared in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime. The placement of the movies in the anime timeline will generally be between the episodes aired before and after the date of the movie's Japanese premiere, though often with earlier movies, this placement can vary with regard to events in the main anime.

==Long specials==
These special episodes, which run longer than the normal half hour and are not usually separated into more than one episode in either the original or the dub, are often considered TV Pokémon movies, not counting towards the running total. They never appear in theaters, but are instead broadcast on the same networks that the regular anime is broadcast for their premieres. Though they may air around the same time as other episodes of the anime, usually in the anime's normal timeslot, they are not assigned episode numbers.

===2000===
{{main|Mewtwo Returns}}

{{an|Mewtwo}}, who has been hiding out in the [[Johto]] region since last he was seen, has been located by {{an|Giovanni}}. Now the [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] Boss wants to recapture the powerful Pokémon to again use him for his own purposes. It was released directly to video in the United States and elsewhere.

===2001===
{{main|The Legend of Thunder!}}

In the first anime break from {{Ash}} and friends, three trainers, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]] must stop the evil [[Team Rocket]] duo [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] from capturing {{OBP|Raikou|Legend of Thunder}}. It was divided up into three parts to become the first three episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] when dubbed.

===2006===
{{main|The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon}}

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} meet up with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} to investigate [[Dr. Yung]]'s new Mirage Pokémon system. But when the mysterious Mirage Master appears with a Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}}, Ash is forced to fight him to stop his plans to dominate the world with his Mirage Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|list of locations where a Pokémon can be obtained]] in [[Generation IV]] games, unused data exists for every movie between [[M09|the ninth]] and the present, with space reserved for movies up to 2016 (what would be, assuming they continue to be released annually, the ''nineteenth'' movie). As events for the 14th movie and onward have been exclusive to Generation V, it is unlikely these will be used.

==Relation to the main anime==
Generally, Pokémon movies have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime and fans will argue as to whether or not they are considered true canon. Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the legendary Pokémon are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. Other details introduced in movies, such as Ash's [[aura]] abilities, have in fact been referenced by the main anime. As details of earlier episodes are sometimes contradicted by later ones, such as May claiming to have used {{TP|May|Skitty}} in the {{To|Fallarbor}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'' when she actually used {{TP|May|Beautifly}} in ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', this is generally presumed to carry over into the movies as well.

It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to be generally ambiguous in regard to their canon status, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' makes there no difference as to whether or not the movie is canon. As the series has progressed, however, more references to past movies have been made, with Ash recognizing a {{p|Latios}} immediately in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', despite having never seen another aside from the one which appeared in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime. The placement of the movies in the anime timeline will generally be between the episodes aired before and after the date of the movie's Japanese premiere, though often with earlier movies, this placement can vary with regard to events in the main anime.

==Long specials==
These special episodes, which run longer than the normal half hour and are not usually separated into more than one episode in either the original or the dub, are often considered TV Pokémon movies, not counting towards the running total. They never appear in theaters, but are instead broadcast on the same networks that the regular anime is broadcast for their premieres. Though they may air around the same time as other episodes of the anime, usually in the anime's normal timeslot, they are not assigned episode numbers.

===2000===
{{main|Mewtwo Returns}}

{{an|Mewtwo}}, who has been hiding out in the [[Johto]] region since last he was seen, has been located by {{an|Giovanni}}. Now the [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] Boss wants to recapture the powerful Pokémon to again use him for his own purposes. It was released directly to video in the United States and elsewhere.

===2001===
{{main|The Legend of Thunder!}}

In the first anime break from {{Ash}} and friends, three trainers, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]] must stop the evil [[Team Rocket]] duo [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] from capturing {{OBP|Raikou|Legend of Thunder}}. It was divided up into three parts to become the first three episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] when dubbed.

===2006===
{{main|The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon}}

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} meet up with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} to investigate [[Dr. Yung]]'s new Mirage Pokémon system. But when the mysterious Mirage Master appears with a Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}}, Ash is forced to fight him to stop his plans to dominate the world with his Mirage Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|list of locations where a Pokémon can be obtained]] in [[Generation IV]] games, unused data exists for every movie between [[M09|the ninth]] and the present, with space reserved for movies up to 2016 (what would be, assuming they continue to be released annually, the ''nineteenth'' movie). As events for the 14th movie and onward have been exclusive to Generation V, it is unlikely these will be used.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[Creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing space.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to {{P|Dialga}}, though it seems to be based on a theropod, the bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs. Palkia’s body is mainly a shade of light purple, although it has stripes and markings of a darker shade and a grayish-colored arm underside and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them and fins in their back. Palkia’s arms have somewhat gauntlet-like extended formations and a purple band of coloration at the wrist. Palkia has a long neck, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail.
====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species. It is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. An example of this was shown in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, in which Palkia was able to shuffle the landscape of [[Almia]] around at a whim, allowing doors to connect to places miles away and for large forests to fit inside tiny houses. In {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl Version|s}}, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that can learn the move {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that naturally learns {{m|Spacial Rend}}.

===Behavior===
Like {{P|Dialga}}, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study. However, Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with Dialga. It as well has been shown to be very protective of its home.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours." The [[M12|twelfth movie]] shows Palkia living in a pink-colored dimension containing floating pearls.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Palkia anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Palkia in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}}'s first appearances were in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{an|Dialga}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It was shown in a flashback in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Palkia's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]], and started a battle with them which awoke an {{an|Arceus|ancient power}}.

Palkia made its TV debut in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]], although a silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''. It is unknown if this is the same Palkia as that in the movies.

===Minor appearances===
Statues of Palkia have appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', and ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

Palkia also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[Image:Palkia Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|A Palkia summoned by Cyrus in Pokémon Adventures]]Two Palkia were seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]], one that [[Cyrus]] tried to take command of on the [[Spear Pillar]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} using the [[Red Chain]], and another that was destroyed by {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} before taking form in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]].

===Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
In the ''{{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}'' manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Palkia soon engaged in a battle with the other members of its trio along with {{an|Arceus}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Palkia (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper levels have a purple tinge to them. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use {{m|Spatial Rend}} to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's mascot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Palkia was injured from a battle with Dialga and entered [[Hippowdon Temple]]. In its pain, it warped the space of the Almia region and caused all of the locations of Almia to be shuffled together.

===Origin===
Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} combined with a {{wp|pearl}}. The presence of fins in their back, the fish-like head and the pearls are possibly the reason for its Water type. Its appearance may also be derived from the {{wp|Tyrannosaurus}} or other bipedal dinosaurs.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

'''Primal Dialga''' (Japanese: '''やみのディアルガ''' ''Dark Dialga'') is a Pokémon that appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. It is located at the pinnacle of [[Temporal Tower]], and is the final boss of the game's main story line.

Primal Dialga is actually {{p|Dialga}} that lost control over its ability to control time due to the collapse of the Temporal Tower and changed to this form. In this form, it is also incapable of logical reasoning or showing mercy, only seeking self-preservation and preventing time from flowing properly. The player must return the [[Time Gear]]s to the tower to restore the flow of time, calm down Dialga, and prevent the future where darkness rules.

Although normally genderless, this Dialga is referred to as a male.

==Physiology==
Primal Dialga has the body shape of a normal {{p|Dialga}} but the color scheme is different. The blue color in its body is changed to dark navy blue, the "streamers" are recolored to orange and the diamond in the chest is altered from blue to a cherry shade red which is a sign of its berserk and savage state. This is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "Primal Dialga".
{{left clear}}

==Background==
{{spoilers}}
The Primal Dialga state was from {{mdc|Darkrai|2}}'s doing who stole the [[Time Gear]]s, consequently outraging Dialga and disrupting the proper flow of time. In an alternate future, [[Temporal Tower]] collapses, sending Dialga into a primal rage, making him a being running on pure primal instinct and self-preservation, thus meaning he'd try to foil any attempt to alter the past to protect himself from being erased from existence. When {{p|Grovyle}} and the player go back in time, Dialga sends his follower {{p|Dusknoir}} back in time as well to stop them. He is not seen up until Dusknoir drags the player and their partner back to the future, where Primal Dialga orders Dusknoir to eliminate them. He then assists his six {{p|Sableye}} in trying to stop the group from going back in time once more but fails due to the partner's quick thinking. Once the player and partner reach the summit of [[Temporal Tower]], the present day Dialga attacks them, believing they've come to destroy the Tower due to being in the process of transforming into Primal Dialga. They manage to defeat him and save the tower, restoring time and Dialga to their normal states after which he thanks the player and their partner, grateful for all they've done. The future Primal Dialga, Grovyle, Dusknoir, and the player are all erased from existence due to being from a future which no longer exists but after the [[Temporal Tower]] incident, the present day Dialga returns the player to life as a show of gratitude for repairing the flow of time and the player's sacrifice, as well as the partner's sorrow at the loss of their friend.

[[File:Primal Dialga artwork.png|thumb|left|240px|Primal Dialga artwork]]
However, as revealed in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} [[In the Future of Darkness|special episode]], before they are erased from existence, Primal Dialga proceeds to punish Dusknoir for his failure, as well as Grovyle for trying to change the past. However, they escape and eventually it's revealed that it was a plot for Dusknoir to take over Grovyle's body and return to the past to alter it. What Primal Dialga didn't count on was Dusknoir befriending and saving Grovyle. Primal Dialga then battles Grovyle, Dusknoir, and Celebi but is beaten. After time is erased, Primal Dialga, Dusknoir, Grovyle, and Celebi are spared, and Primal Dialga being converted back into normal Dialga in the process. He then informs them they were saved by a being even more powerful than him: implied to be {{p|Arceus}}.

The Dialga battled is not actually the same as the one from the future Grovyle comes from, when battled, Dialga still has a shred of its self left, and thus was not completely "primal" yet. This is shown by the future Primal Dialga only able to communicate with a roar (which Dusknoir apparently understands). However, not-quite-Primal Dialga is able to speak to the player and their partner using broken words.

Primal Dialga made two very brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as a mere shadowy silhouette.

==Trivia==
* Primal Dialga is the second altered Pokémon to be named "Dark" in its Japanese appearance. The first was XD001 [[Shadow Lugia]], who was called Dark Lugia in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. Coincidentaly, both are [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Although Primal Dialga has lost control of its power, it can still warp through time and use its [[signature move]] {{m|Roar of Time}}.

== More Kyurem discussion... (MOVE PROPOSAL) ==

Quote from the little blurb above the article title as of 10/27/2010:
"As you update with Black and White information, make sure it is confirmed. '''Other fan sites are not reliable sources of information.'''" Boldface not mine.

Kyurem is not confirmed to be related to the other two; for all we know, the third member of the trio could be another Pokémon, or it could just be a duo. I say that the article be moved to "Yin-yang duo" or something else relating to just Reshiram and Zekrom, and Kyurem should be added to trivia as a popular fan candidate to be the third member. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 16:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:How much confirmation do you need? Look at their learnsets. Look at the Fire-Ice-Lightning motifs. Their theme music is also similar. There are slight dissimilarities between the two mascots and Kyurem, but you have to admit that there are a lot of parallels, just like there were with Rayquaza and Giratina previously. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 18:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::I'd like to add that, although it is VERY likely Kyurem is the third member, wasn't this discouraged with Platinum despite Giratina being all but 100% confirmed, as there was a small chance that it may not be Giratina? I'd say add a tag to the page explaining that this trio is not 100% confirmed, but is based on information we have now, just because it seems more professional that way --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 01:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

== Interesting trivia? ==

I noticed something. No two members have the same number of claws. Reshiram has four, Zekrom has three and Kyurem has two. [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 19:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Also, should it be noted that they share their types with the legendary birds, the first trio? ([[User:Divdax|Divdax]] 22:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC))
:They have them as their secondary type while the Birds have it as their primary type, though I think it can be said that the "Energy Dragon" trio share their secondary types with the Birds primary types? I also now noticed they're reversed too (Ice/Electric/Fire vs. Fire/Electric/Ice). [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 23:47, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

== Mythos or Myths? ==

Is it intentional for the subheading "Mythos" to be called that or is it a typo? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 22:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Why are we using Mythos rather than Myths or Mythology? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 17:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

== real or fandom ==

"Another claim is that Kyurem is the corpse of the original Dragon Pokémon after it had split into Reshiram and Zekrom."

Where does it say this I'm intrigued?
[[User:Vespitomb|Vespi]][[User Talk:Vespitomb|tomb>]] 17:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

::There's a story told in BW, which says, there were two kings of Unova, with a single royal dragon, which split into seperate dragons once they started to fight over their ideals. Look at Kyurem, not just is it weaker stat/moveset wise than Reshiram and Zekrom, it also looks weakened. While Reshiram and Zekrom have generators (producing warmth, hence Fire and Electric) on their tails, Kyurem does not. Instead his tail looks like a plug. No generator=cold, hence Ice. This is genious. --[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 14:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Some people say Kyurem came from a comet, some say that it's the corpse of the Original Dragon. I believe that both are true, and that the comet people believe to have brought Kyurem struck the leftover shell of the Original Dragon, infusing Kyurem with its Ice powers (comets are made from space dust and ice) and reviving it. [[User:Slate Orchid|Slate Orchid]] 21:44, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

== Eye Colors ==
Should it be added to the trivia that the eye colors of the Tao Trio allude to the three original versions' colors? (Red for Zekrom, Blue for Reshiram, and Yellow for Kyurem?)-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 22:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
:I wouldn't be so sure. The absolute original versions were Japanese Red and Green, with the third version being Blue. It might be worth a mention that they correspond to the colours of the original english/western versions though? [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 15:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
::There are 4 games, not 3. Maybe they did it referring to Outside of Japan games.
I added it to the trivia. It may be removed if it seems irrelevant at this point, but if Kyurem becomes the mascot of the third version in Gen V (as it most likely will) the yellow eyes will further prove a tie to the first gen colors, as Yellow was a third version.
-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 03:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think the eye colors are referencing each other in a circle at all. Remember that it is not really an all out trio; it's more like Reshiram and Zekrom are a duo, and Kyurem is more of a standout in the middle(this applies with the other 670 BST+ "trios" as wel as the "Kami trio"). If anything, Reshiram's blue iris and black(as opposed to white) sclera are a reference to Zekrom's blue electricity and black color, while Zekrom's red iris and white sclera (the pupil is still black, but I think the pupil always has to be black in most cases) reference Reshiram's white color and fire. It's unknown what Kyurem's yellow eyes allude to(note that parts of Kyurem glow yellow a little when it does it's animation in Pokedex 3D).[[User:SunFlareO0|SunFlareO0]] 15:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

== Similar Name Endings ==
Is it worth noting that the trio have 'Ram', 'Rom' and 'Rem' as the ends of their names? They seem too similar for it to be pure coincidence. Perhaps it shouldn't go into the Trivia without providing some sort of reason for this, but maybe it's worth researching? I've looked around and can't find any explanation myself. ----[[User:Valkyria|Valkyria]] ''([[User talk:Valkyria|Talk]])'' 23:00, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

[[File:Tao trio anime.png|thumb|250px|The Tao trio in [[M15]]]]
The '''Tao trio''', sometimes called the '''energy trio''', is the collective term used to refer to the three powerful [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. According to Unova myths, the trio was created during the war plaguing the region.

Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660.

Each of the members of the trio have control of their own types and sides. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}} and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom artwork.png|thumb|Artwork featuring Reshiram and Zekrom]]The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over who's side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched as they battled and neither conquered the other. As a result, the brothers set aside their differences, and equally declared there was no right side, either. But the sons of the heroes resumed the fight, and Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed the region with their fire and lightning powers. They subsequently disappeared afterward.

At the beginning of {{v2|Black and White|s}}, one of them resides in the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], who is called upon by [[N]] to create his ideal world. The {{player}} is tasked with finding the other dragon in its corresponding stone ({{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}} in Black and {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}} in White) and revive it to resolve the history the twins began in the past.


Kyurem's origins are much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to Earth from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called [[Giant Chasm]]. An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall.

==Trivia==
*Like the [[legendary beasts]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each member of the trio share battle music that is slightly remixed to match their secondary typing.
** Zekrom's theme has a crackling thunder effect and Reshiram has a burning fire effect. However, Kyurem does not have a special effect, but has an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* The Trio may refer to The {{wp|Three Pure Ones}}, due to their relations with Taoism.
* This legendary trio is the first since the [[legendary birds]] to return to the three types being {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Electric}}-, and {{type|Ice}}, even though these types are secondary to Dragon.
**Each of the three have [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combinations unique to themselves]].
* The Tao Trio have their own battle transition. A few lights will gather in the center of the screen and a swirl vortex will zoom in from the center.
* Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem are occasionally known as the "Blazing White Yang", "Electrifying Black Yin" or "Frozen Boundary" respectively. This is a reference to the concept of Yin and Yang of Taoism.
* Reshiram and Zekrom are the only legendary Pokémon to have more than one signature move.
* Kyurem is the only member of the Tao Trio to only have one signature move.
*All three members learn Imprison twice. Once at level 8 and again at level 64.

Palkia is the Space pokemon 
Dialga is the Time pokemon 
Arceus is the Alpha pokemon 

Wouldn't this technically be the trio; given that, well, aren't Palkia and Dialga technically made of Arceus, or something?

Although, if you took into account that Giratina is related to an "ancient cemetary in another dimension", you could technically consider it:
Arceus ; life ; Alpha
Giratina ; death ; Omega

Well it is possible. There is space and time. What else is there. Giratina is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours. This is possibly the afterlife. This place may neither be space nor time.

*They all have the same stats just mixed up.
*They have similar moves, as seen above.
*They look similar in appearance.
*They all were created at the same time, as said in the article about the History of the Pokémon world.
*I believe that Palkia controls space, Dialga controls time, and Giratina controls the only other thing, the afterlife.

Giratina cannot represent the afterlife, as the Lake trio have been stated to represent spirit. MATTER, on the other hand, is seperate from space and time, yet does not seem to be represented by Giratina. [[User:Noname|Noname]]

Maybe Giratina is part of the trio, opposing both Palkia and Dialga. I believe it's something like this: Palkia is space, Dialga is time, and Giratina would be the ''absence'' of space/time. If it's established that Giratina is "a Pokémon from another dimension", it's very easy to understand that the concept of time is different to Giratina. Also, his signature move being "Dark Void" tells us about the concept of space (also different from ours). Anyway, let's wait for the third game. I'm quite sure they'll explore Giratina as opposed to Dialga/Palkia, or maybe some collateral effect of Arceus' creation. --[[User:Rafaelpuff|Rafaelpuff]] 20:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

::Since this is speculation anyway, consider this: Giratina's Shadow Force makes it "suddenly vanish", making it completely untouchable.

Yes, sorry, my bad. I've written {{m|Dark Void}} with the ingame animation of {{m|Shadow Force}} in mind. Thanks for the correction. Now, what about the new rumours? About Giratina being the mascot of the third game? If these rumours are confirmed, I guess it's no doubt that there is a Dragon Trio. Also, Serebii.net announced that there'll be a new dual-type form to Arceus - maybe an ancient form of Arceus before he "created the Dragons from itself"? Well, anyway, this is only speculation.

Giratina controls an alternate dimension, parallel to the real world. The torn world-where the laws of physics in the real world don't apply. Giratina seems to control what is the reverse reality or the reverse dimension to the real Pokémon world. I don't think that calling it, and by it i mean a future game that probably won't even ever be considered to be produced, "DimensionPlatinum" is sensible. The only reason they had FRLG was because it was impossible to have your Ruby Version trade with your Blue version. Plus, with much better graphics, it was a really cool game to play if you are someone who loves the originals.
Anyway, Giratina does control something: an alternate dimension. Maybe even the dimension opposite of what we call the living world because it is mentioned in on of the Pokédex entries that it hangs around graveyards. Maybe that's what it does when it enters the natural world. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 21:40, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

So, with Platina Version released Japan-side, is it pretty much safe to say that this article no longer needs the "disputed" status? Giratina has had a confirmed role alongside Dialga and Palkia, and the status of the Dragon Trio is confirmed. Is it safe to remove the "disputed" label, or will doing so cause a bomb explosion of hate and flame? I won't do so until I'm granted confirmation people aren't going to flip out on me for doing so. Same goes for the Legendary Pokémon article, which is similarly out of date. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

*I agree. It's pretty freaking obvious from the start that Giratina goes along with Dialga and Palkia. I know having proof is important but seriously, it was so obvious that Giratina belongs in the dragon trio. That's just how Nintendo does things. If the Pokémon have similar move sets, and in this case, one type shared by all 3, then changes are, they are trios. Plus, with the way game mascots are assigned now (refering to Generation III), it gives you a little more proof. It's almost like people need Nintendo to just come out and say "hey guys, Giratina is in the dragon trio with Dialga and Palkia now so no more speculation, yeah!" for them to truly consider Giratina as a member of the dragon trio. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 21:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

==Dimensional Trio?==

Shouldn't it be called the Dimensional Trio? It's like Palkia rules the third dimension, Dialga rules the fourth dimension, and Giratina probably rules the fifth dimension. The place where they all live must be the SIXTH dimension, based on implications from the Darkrai and Shaymin movies, (you know, where all the Unown live) because they have to be in a dimension higher than theirs to warp them, and in the Shaymin movie Dialga and Palkia apparently trashed Giratina's place. (Giratina is probably the oddball in this, because he lives in the fifth dimension to guard it, but he probably moved at the beginning of everything, but Dialga and Palkia don't need to stay in their dimensions to guard it, and there are also Pokemon who guard their dimensions, like Celebi for Dialga, and every Pokemon and human in the universe for Palkia) Because of this, Dialga and Palkia can warp Giratina's dimension (although without having the power to control it) like they did in the Shaymin movie. I say the reason why Dialga and Palkia can't control each other's dimensions is:

1: They don't have the power to do so.
2. Arceus, who lives in the SEVENTH dimension, has made it impossible for them to even WARP each other's dimensions.

I also say the reason that Dialga and Palkia are apparently able to warp GIRATINA'S dimension is that Giratina's dimension is a parallel to the regular one, and you can't control one dimension without warping the parallel dimension in some way.

All this, however, is just my opinion, except for the fact that all this opinion backs up my statement that it should be called the DIMENSIONAL trio. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 17:12, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

==Greek Gods==
I was thinking, ever notice how the dragons seem to be like Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus of Greek mythology? Like, Palkia/Poseidon is the more substantial and more all-present of the three, Zeus/Dialga is the more ethereal and less reachable, and Giratina/Hades is the one who can't live with the others and guard a dimension which no one wants, and controls the afterlife.[[User:Hades666|Hades666]] 23:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Interesting theory, but considering that Zeus was the king of the gods, wouldn't that be Arceus instead of Dialga? I was thinking that same thing with Hades, seeing as Giratina is the Renegade pokemon, like he's defying Arceus and was sent to guard the dimension people would rather avoid... ARGH! I'm an atheist and I was about to go into a God/Satan thing... But in my opinion, just like Rayquaza in Emerald, Giratina will be added to The Original Story and whatever Giratina controls will be mentioned alongside Time and Space...

::Just to set things straight: Hades does not "cause earthquakes". In the myth of Persephone, all he did was make the ground open. That's not an earthquake. The earth might shake in result of the ground opening, but Poseidon is directly connected to the occurance of earthquakes, whereas for Hades, they are nothing but a side-effect. Not the same thing. He does not deliberately make it shake beneath your feet, so he is not the patron of them (like Poseidon is). Anyone trying to argue, in jest or in seriousness, that Groudon is Hades...bwahaha. Yer tring 2 herd. And that "goddess of the earth" is no such thing. Persephone's mother is Demeter, patron of the harvest. The myth is also slightly deeper than that. Amateurs.

I was looking at the page for heatran and, sorry to stir up this wierd argument even more, but it says something about it being created as an after effect of the creation of Dialga and Palkia.

:"Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the '''four-dimensional universe''' that the Pokémon world, like our own, is a part of. The final member, Giratina, apparently has control over other dimensions like the Distortion World, which may itself be a location with a '''fourth spacial dimension'''. "
Shouldn't that be the fifth dimension, since the Dialga and Palkia control the other four? I would've just changed it myself, but... well... I can't.[[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 15:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Well it is possible. There is space and time. What else is there. Giratina is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours. This is possibly the afterlife. This place may neither be space nor time. If these three pokémon are a trio, then it would mean that this trio would control Space, Time, and the Afterlife, which are the only places where anyone could possibly be.

Maybe Giratina is part of the trio, opposing both Palkia and Dialga. I believe it's something like this: Palkia is space, Dialga is time, and Giratina would be the ''absence'' of space/time. If it's established that Giratina is "a Pokémon from another dimension", it's very easy to understand that the concept of time is different to Giratina. Also, his signature move being "Dark Void" tells us about the concept of space (also different from ours). Anyway, let's wait for the third game. I'm quite sure they'll explore Giratina as opposed to Dialga/Palkia, or maybe some collateral effect of Arceus' creation. --[[User:Rafaelpuff|Rafaelpuff]] 20:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

::Since this is speculation anyway, consider this: Giratina's Shadow Force makes it "suddenly vanish", making it completely untouchable.

Yes, sorry, my bad. I've written {{m|Dark Void}} with the ingame animation of {{m|Shadow Force}} in mind. Thanks for the correction. Now, what about the new rumours? About Giratina being the mascot of the third game? If these rumours are confirmed, I guess it's no doubt that there is a Dragon Trio. Also, Serebii.net announced that there'll be a new dual-type form to Arceus - maybe an ancient form of Arceus before he "created the Dragons from itself"? Well, anyway, this is only speculation.

Giratina controls an alternate dimension, parallel to the real world. The torn world-where the laws of physics in the real world don't apply. Giratina seems to control what is the reverse reality or the reverse dimension to the real Pokémon world. I don't think that calling it, and by it i mean a future game that probably won't even ever be considered to be produced, "DimensionPlatinum" is sensible. The only reason they had FRLG was because it was impossible to have your Ruby Version trade with your Blue version. Plus, with much better graphics, it was a really cool game to play if you are someone who loves the originals.
Anyway, Giratina does control something: an alternate dimension. Maybe even the dimension opposite of what we call the living world because it is mentioned in on of the Pokédex entries that it hangs around graveyards. Maybe that's what it does when it enters the natural world. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 21:40, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

== Platina Version release, Dragon Trio status Confirmed ==

So, with Platina Version released Japan-side, is it pretty much safe to say that this article no longer needs the "disputed" status? Giratina has had a confirmed role alongside Dialga and Palkia, and the status of the Dragon Trio is confirmed. Is it safe to remove the "disputed" label, or will doing so cause a bomb explosion of hate and flame? I won't do so until I'm granted confirmation people aren't going to flip out on me for doing so. Same goes for the Legendary Pokémon article, which is similarly out of date. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

*I agree. It's pretty freaking obvious from the start that Giratina goes along with Dialga and Palkia. I know having proof is important but seriously, it was so obvious that Giratina belongs in the dragon trio. That's just how Nintendo does things. If the Pokémon have similar move sets, and in this case, one type shared by all 3, then changes are, they are trios. Plus, with the way game mascots are assigned now (refering to Generation III), it gives you a little more proof. It's almost like people need Nintendo to just come out and say "hey guys, Giratina is in the dragon trio with Dialga and Palkia now so no more speculation, yeah!" for them to truly consider Giratina as a member of the dragon trio. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 21:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

==Dimensional Trio?==

Shouldn't it be called the Dimensional Trio? It's like Palkia rules the third dimension, Dialga rules the fourth dimension, and Giratina probably rules the fifth dimension. The place where they all live must be the SIXTH dimension, based on implications from the Darkrai and Shaymin movies, (you know, where all the Unown live) because they have to be in a dimension higher than theirs to warp them, and in the Shaymin movie Dialga and Palkia apparently trashed Giratina's place. (Giratina is probably the oddball in this, because he lives in the fifth dimension to guard it, but he probably moved at the beginning of everything, but Dialga and Palkia don't need to stay in their dimensions to guard it, and there are also Pokemon who guard their dimensions, like Celebi for Dialga, and every Pokemon and human in the universe for Palkia) Because of this, Dialga and Palkia can warp Giratina's dimension (although without having the power to control it) like they did in the Shaymin movie. I say the reason why Dialga and Palkia can't control each other's dimensions is:

1: They don't have the power to do so.
2. Arceus, who lives in the SEVENTH dimension, has made it impossible for them to even WARP each other's dimensions.

I also say the reason that Dialga and Palkia are apparently able to warp GIRATINA'S dimension is that Giratina's dimension is a parallel to the regular one, and you can't control one dimension without warping the parallel dimension in some way.

All this, however, is just my opinion, except for the fact that all this opinion backs up my statement that it should be called the DIMENSIONAL trio. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 17:12, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

==Greek Gods==
I was thinking, ever notice how the dragons seem to be like Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus of Greek mythology? Like, Palkia/Poseidon is the more substantial and more all-present of the three, Zeus/Dialga is the more ethereal and less reachable, and Giratina/Hades is the one who can't live with the others and guard a dimension which no one wants, and controls the afterlife.[[User:Hades666|Hades666]] 23:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Interesting theory, but considering that Zeus was the king of the gods, wouldn't that be Arceus instead of Dialga? I was thinking that same thing with Hades, seeing as Giratina is the Renegade pokemon, like he's defying Arceus and was sent to guard the dimension people would rather avoid... ARGH! I'm an atheist and I was about to go into a God/Satan thing... But in my opinion, just like Rayquaza in Emerald, Giratina will be added to The Original Story and whatever Giratina controls will be mentioned alongside Time and Space...

::Just to set things straight: Hades does not "cause earthquakes". In the myth of Persephone, all he did was make the ground open. That's not an earthquake. The earth might shake in result of the ground opening, but Poseidon is directly connected to the occurance of earthquakes, whereas for Hades, they are nothing but a side-effect. Not the same thing. He does not deliberately make it shake beneath your feet, so he is not the patron of them (like Poseidon is). Anyone trying to argue, in jest or in seriousness, that Groudon is Hades...bwahaha. Yer tring 2 herd. And that "goddess of the earth" is no such thing. Persephone's mother is Demeter, patron of the harvest. The myth is also slightly deeper than that. Amateurs.

"Three beings were born to bind time and space."
It said this on the draco plate, but only Dialga and Palkia have anything to do with time/space.

I was looking at the page for heatran and, sorry to stir up this wierd argument even more, but it says something about it being created as an after effect of the creation of Dialga and Palkia.

I noticed it says this in the article:
:"Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the '''four-dimensional universe''' that the Pokémon world, like our own, is a part of. The final member, Giratina, apparently has control over other dimensions like the Distortion World, which may itself be a location with a '''fourth spacial dimension'''. "

We don't really know if it is Gen V, but the fact that it uses forms of a Gen V Pokemon as its mascot make if all but confirmed. The way it looks, at least for now, is that they decided to ditch the 3rd game idea for this Gen and instead do two full sequels to BW. If they say these are a new gen or we see completely new Pokemon then we can start talking about this being Gen VI, but as it stands I think we should just leave it be.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 16:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:What he trying to mean is, most people think that these games are the '"double" 3rd versions, like Platinum, Emerald and Crystal. But if that's so, you mean these are just the continued part of original B&W? There will be a real "third" version? That's almost impossible.

:From sources, Kyurem has two new forms, each resemblin to Zekrom and/or Reshiram. So it would still be within the Tao trio.

== May I ask you? ==

On the main series regions articles, why did you remove each region's location in correlation with the other regions in the intro of each article? I think that info should be there. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 04:50, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Pokémon D/P/Pl Maps ==

Where did the overworld maps, like the ones in the info boxes of the [[Sinnoh Route 209]] and [[Sinnoh Route 214]] pages, come from? I'm guessing it was partially ripped with a specialized utility uploaded to a site. It could have been done by someone here that took the time to do a nice quality rip that was very time consuming but stopped after mid-way through. I tried looking on [http://www.vgmaps.com The Video Game Atlas] and came up with nothing. I would like to see a replacement of that kind of quality for pages such as [[Sinnoh Route 210]] and [[Sinnoh Route 213]] and even pages such as [[Floaroma Meadow]] and [[Valor Lakefront]]. No more scans or snapshots.

If there is no way to know, I could help out any way I can. Just supply me with the right tools and I'll see what I can do!

::Heh, I thought through ROM hacking, you can easily get map data. Plus your explanation could have one complication to retain neatness.

==Do you know how the Egg Blackout Glitch is triggered?==

Hi. You seem to be really nice and helpful with the games. I don't mind that help at all. About 2 months ago I was attempting a glitch with Pokemon Gold and Silver or Silver and Crystal as Gold doesn't work and it was the egg blackout glitch. It wouldn't let me trade the egg during a link trade as I only had one Pokemon. Then I thought the glitch was triggered by beating Falkner, then receiving an Egg with only Cyndaquil or Totodile, very hard to beat Violet gym with Chikorita and still no infinite blackout glitch. Do you know any other methods to get it to work? Since I'm not actually playing my gen 2 games. I'm experimenting with them now. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 20:06, 3 February 2012 (UTC))
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Black_out&diff=1092423&oldid=1033092 This is where it came from]. Have you tried obtaining an egg, then entering a trade with just your starter and an egg, then trading the starter for an egg? It should work, since you have two Pokémon. Or is that what you were saying you already did? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:29, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
So I need to beat the gym leader in more than one version first, get the egg and only have my starter and egg in one version while in another version, I can have more than one Pokemon in the party? I asked this on Yahoo Answers and only got an answer that was chatting about something dumb instead of acknowledging the question. Also is the Brock Skip Gym side effects real or the side effects of using a cheating device? I got dumb answers for that too. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 11:35, 4 February 2012 (UTC))
:I have no guarantee that it works, it is just my guess of how it might work. Any information you can add about that glitch is appreciated.
:As for the Brock Gym skip, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl6DEJOMb88 this video shows the infinite walk down]. I've watched the whole run before (it's pretty cool), and they did not use any cheats, only glitches (as is mentioned in the credits). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
I was actually trying to do this instead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIEnl3wz6a8

The game kept freezing on me and it only works on Red or Blue. No one answered and they assumed that just because I was trying to get a glitch to work, it's the same as cheating in a video game. Do I do this at school too? No it's not and thanks to those jerks, it's none of their business what I do at school. It's one I've been having a problem with for a while. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 14:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC))
:There are glitches that sometimes freeze the game, sometimes don't. There are also sometimes variations between emulators and real games when it comes to glitches, but this is rare. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:15, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

No it doesn't work. I keep getting "Too bad. The trade was canceled." I now have eggs on 2 games instead of just one and I did all my other trading first before attempting this glitch. ([[User:MichaelXD|MichaelXD]] 19:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC))

== Hi ==

Do you have skype? I'd like to be able to talk about Pomeg sub-glitches in Gen IV without having to leave a huge trail of messages that take a long time between replies, if possible ;)

Thanks, [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 09:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
:Well, I do have Skype, but I only use it for personal purposes, rather than Bulbagarden/Pokémon stuff. If you have AIM, I'd prefer to use that, but I can make another Skype account (which may be useful at other times too). Bulbawiki staff communicate with AIM, while forums staff use Skype. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

::I don't have AIM, sorry :/. If you were planning on make another account then go ahead but if it's just to talk to me then it might not be worth your touble [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 22:03, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

== V-create ==

Well, list all examples if you can. If I have to remind you, only Arceus are able to obtain Judgement, and lots of Pokemon can learn Snarl though TM. Your agrument is invalid, if I'm correct. So please spare me while I undo your undo.

The small streams of fire then merge so that Victini's ears are covered in a red-yellow fire in the shape of a 'V'. The fire bursts off, leaving behind a blazing yellow fire around its ears. Victini's body also starts to glow red and its eyes glow blue. Victini then flies forward and slams its body into the opponent. When the attack makes contact, a huge explosion occurs.}}

Ability

2012-01-22T19:53:56Z

Acellutor:

'''Abilities''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''special characteristic'') are a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]]. Individual Pokémon may have just one of these special attributes at a time, which generally serve to assist them in battle. An Ability cannot be changed after a Pokémon is obtained except by [[evolution]], where the Ability it changes into is determined by the former Ability, and [[Form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is beneficial; some will hinder the user.

==Mechanics==
Some Pokémon have more than one possible Ability. In this case, the chances of obtaining a Pokémon with a particular Ability are equally likely. These Pokémon are known as "dual Ability" Pokémon; similarly, those with only one are known as "single Ability" Pokémon. Some single Ability Pokémon may have Abilities unique to themselves or their evolutionary lines: a signature Ability. However, in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, dual Ability Pokémon have both Abilities at the same time.

Pokémon that [[evolve]] and have a certain Ability in their pre-evolution (dual-Ability Pokémon only), but evolve into a dual-Ability Pokémon upon evolution (such as {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} or {{a|Quick Feet}} evolving into {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Quick Feet}}), the Pokémon will keep its Ability from its pre-evolution upon evolving (so a Poochyena with Quick Feet in [[Generation IV]] would keep its Ability upon evolving into a Mightyena, while one with Run Away would evolve into a Mightyena with Intimidate instead). If the Pokémon is a single-Ability Pokémon, then it will still have a 50% chance for each if its evolution is a dual-Ability (dependent on {{IV}}s).

In [[Generation IV]], several Pokémon obtainable in [[Generation III]] gained new Abilities, becoming dual-Ability Pokémon. These Pokémon will keep the Ability they had in Generation III unless they evolve, when their Ability will be recalculated. All Generation III Abilities were maintained, with the exception of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}. The only Ability listed after Cacophony in the game data, {{a|Air Lock}}, was renumbered, and the new Abilities followed after.

===Hidden Abilities===
{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities}}
[[Generation V]] introduced Hidden Abilities, providing {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|almost all Pokémon}} with another Ability. These Abilities are not found on Pokémon found randomly in the wild; only Pokémon obtained under special circumstances have these Abilities. All Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Global Link]], either via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] or a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|promotion]], will always have their Hidden Ability, if they have one. Certain [[event Pokémon]] may also have their Hidden Ability. In addition, two incidences of Pokémon found in-game, the four {{p|Darmanitan}} in the [[Resort Desert]] and the {{p|Musharna}} found every Friday in the [[Dreamyard]], also have their Hidden Ability.

If a female Pokémon has a Hidden Ability and is bred, it has a 60% chance to give that Ability to each of its children. Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, or when breeding with {{p|Ditto}}.

==In the anime==
Starting in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Abilities have been shown in the anime. [[Ash's Infernape]]'s {{a|Blaze}} Ability is mentioned quite often.

==In the TCG==
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers became Abilities, these distinctions were done away with.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], excluding Hidden Abilities, there are 106 Pokémon (almost exactly one-sixth of the total) who have unique Ability combinations.

==The Bird & ??? types==

I added Bird and ??? type to the template. Although they are not really conventional types. I do think they should be included, maybe you should seperate them a little? I really can't get my head round metawiki's silly table formatting code. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:26, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Disagree with including Bird, but the ??? I can concur with. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:28, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bird should probably be linked to in the [[Glitch]] article then. Can you take it out of the template? I'ld only screw it up. o_o - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:31, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying, and...well, screwing it up. XD

I think that the Bird type needs to come out of the table and for the ??? to go under the other special types so that the table is symmetrical. It's not really neccessary to make explicit reference to the Bird type in the table if its a type that isn't meant to appear in normal gameplay. Also, the ??? page doesn't exist and should it include the Missingno.s in RSE where they are repesented by the ? enclosed by a circle?

That's weird I had made the ??? page, look in my contributions. Looks like metaiwki doesn't like the question marks... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 08:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

k then what does "The '''(type) type''' is one of the seventeen [[elemental types]]." need to be changed to? Nineteen, eighteen, or leave it? --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 10:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Methinks they need to be separated from the main 17 and listed separately... -- [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 10:33, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, the BIRD type has been removed - it only needs to be mentioned in maybe one of the game mechanics pages or in a missingno. article.

I think that the ??? isn't a type to itself - its more a lack of a type. So really ??? shouldn't be classed as a type because it has no defining features like pokemon to represent it, no type weaknesses and resistances and the Curse changes effect with types and does no damage at all.

Curse does indirect damage when used by Ghost-types. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:46, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Exactly, '''indirect''' damage. ??? has no effect other than display. Curse could be grass type and still do the exact same thing.
--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 01:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This is minor, but shouldn't the "normal" elements be listed as "physical" elements? Is not that the generally accepted term for the opposite of the special elements?--[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 06:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The ??? type DOES have a Pokémon to represent it.*cough*Arceus*cough*--[[User:Frostagin|Frostagin]] 18:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Several people here have expressed (to greater or lesser degrees) that they think there should only be said to be a total of 17 types as they believe the ???-type isn't really a type. However, this wiki should really be based more on the fact (as opposed to people's beliefs) and the fact is ??? appears in the type category for pokémon eggs in gen III. It also has a move and Arceus can technically turn into it. Does that not make it a type? What else does it really need?

Therefore, based on all the evidence before us I reckon the page should state there are 18 types to include ???. Does anyone have any problems with that??? [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

:Meh, that was from practically a year ago, and it is one of my stupidest edits. And also, to future readers, please don't edit this conversation again, because bumps are bad.if a conversation is more than a month old, then adding would be a bump.Or so I've found through the site.[[User:Frostagin|Frost]][[User talk:Frostagin|agin]] 01:46, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

From the Pokemon Black and White page, "The ??? type has been removed, with Curse becoming a Ghost-type move," so shouldn't this be removed from the elemental types or put somewhere else like "Discontinued Type"? --[[User:ShawnFrost|ShawnFrost]] 04:07, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

:In Pokémon XD, there is one damage dealing ???-type move (Weather Ball during a shadow sky), so it should still be a type. [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]] 04:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

== Disambig? ==

Should this be moved to [[Elemental types (game)]], so that the main page can be converted into a disambig for the TCG one? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Even if you do that, it'd still be confusing because they're both games, persey . . . aren't types more often refered to as "Energy Types" in the TCG anyways? --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they are. --Paperfairy [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Paperfairy ☆] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Paperfairy ・] 23:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Then should [[Elemental types (TCG)]] move to [[Energy types (TCG)]]? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say... just "Type (TCG)" seems good enough. That's all it's actually called, anyway. Well, that and "Color." I'd just go with "Type (TCG)." -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 01:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, most just call the GB types types... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Added a little known fact ==

Ah yes, it appears this fact I added is not very widely known, so I figured I'd post a little comment to let everyone know I'm not making this up. ^__^

I was randomly paging through my Pokemon Gold/Silver Player's Guide: the official one released by Nintendo, it has this really cool drawing of Lugia and Ho-oh on the cover and- I digress. Anyway, on the last page it features the type chart, with next to it some explanation about attack damage multipliers. Among the obvious ones about effectiveness of the types, it also mentioned "Damage x 1.5 when the attack type is the same type as the Pokemon that's using it".

Since this is the official guide, I do assume this is indeed a confirmed fact for the Gold and Silver series; it'll likely also work in Crystal. I proceeded to test said finding in Ruby and Fire Red and found that it applied there too. For reference, in Ruby I used the example stated in the paragraph I added with the Aron. In Fire Red I used an Ekans with the Poison Sting and Wrap attacks.

Still requiring confirmation:
Japanese versions of the games
Original Red/Blue series
New Diamond and Pearl editions
Spinoffs such as Mystery Dungeon

I'll leave that spot of research to the real Pokémaniacs. (read: I'll leave checking this to the ones who DO own and/or can afford said games. ^__^;; )

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 18:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Items such as Metal Coat and Charcoal now boost moves of their designated type by 20%, an increase from the previous 10%. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 13:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That Damage x 1.5 thing is known among the fandom as [[STAB]], Same-Type Attack Bonus. If it wasn't in there already... I dunno why not.

And the Hold Item boost thing's now 20%? Is that as of DP? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I remembered that term for it just now, thanks for editing it into the text. ^__^ Haven't come across it a lot though; because of that I was mistaken into thinking it was a less known feature. =S My apologies for the sillyness. ^^;

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 23:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Nah, it's cool. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, as of D/P the type-specific items boost 20% instead of 10%. Makes them somewhat worthwhile on heavey hitters. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 14:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Singular over plural? ==

We do it with [[Plate]] and others, why's this still plural? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:Year-and-a-half-old bump. Any reason not to move it? --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 23:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

== A possible idea for dual types ==

Instead of making seperate lists for "Primary (type)-type Pokémon" and "Secondary (type)-type Pokémon", how about we have just one list? For example, with Normal, it'd be like this:

1.) This page is starting to look like a project's talk page. Would it be a bad idea to make a Bulbapedia project on the elemental types?

:In the order they are on the template, as far as I know. Go down the first column, the down the second. Don't count ???, I think that's last. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:29, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

== All the Combinations ==

This is mostly for reference in this talk page, and doesn't directly assist the actual page, but it is important information nevertheless.

Eventually we are going to get close to having every type combination covered. So, here's some information.

With the current amount types, there is a total of 272 + 17 different type combinations (counting Ground/Dragon Flygon and Dragon/Ground Garchomp as separate). If we are to ignore these duplications, there is only 136 + 17.

I won't list them all here (for sake of space!) but I think this is important. Do we have a page with all the possible type combinations yet?

BTW - The math used for this kind of thing is called a permutation. -- [[user:Pokémaniac John|PokémaniacJohn]] [[user talk:Pokémaniac John|(talk)]] 21:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== Origin of type match-ups ==

"Why are Bug-type moves super-effective towards Psychic-types?"
"Why is it that Steel-type moves don't do as much against Water-types?"

I'm sure many, many people wonder this. As a Wikia, it's our job to educate the public, so I think that each type-page should have its section of why its match-ups are what it is. I'd imagine it'd work nicely being set up like this in the Grass-type page:

==Type Match-up Origins==
===Offensive===
====Super-effective====
*''Plants'' often spread their root system throughout the ''ground''.
*In some cases, ''weeds'' will be able to grow through the thin layers of concrete or ''stones'', despite their density. Moss is also commonly found on rocks, completely covering them up.
*''Grass'' is known to absorb large amounts of ''rainwater'' and manage to stay healthy. To add, water is actually needed in the process of photosynthesis, and some plants can even live underwater.

====Not very effective====
*Very few ''plants'' manage to prey on ''insects'' or hinder the mobility of bugs, due to their habits of eating plants.
*Certain ''reptilian'' animals aren't at disadvantages when in their respective ''plant-filled'' environments.
**[[Dragon-type]]s are often considered to be reptilian in nature.
*Since ''plants'' create oxygen, ''flames'' are only stronger when around grassy and forest areas.
*Aside from several poisonous ''plants'', no known type of plant can actually hurt ''birds''. To add, birds often make nests inside of trees or on their branches.
**Birds are usually associated with [[Flying-type]]s.
*''Trees'' cannot be planted too close to eachother, or else their roots will absorb too much of the liquid in the ground, and therefore wilt.
**Explanation of why Grass-type moves are not very effective towards Grass-types.
*''Plant-life'' not not often found in ''noxious'' environments.
*Regardless of the strength of the ''plant'', roots cannot penetrate plates of ''steel''.

===Defensive===
====Resistances====
*''Wood'' is known to be nonconducting to ''electricity''.
*''Plants'' cannot move on their own, and therefore cannot attack other ''plants''.
**Explanation as to why Grass-types resist Grass-type attacks.
*Regardless if the ''ground'' is wet or dry, or hard or soft, ''plant-life'' can always grow if in the right climate conditions.
*''Rain'', if not acidic and in average amounts, cannot kill fields of grass.

====Weaknesses====
*''Insects'' often eat ''leaves'' and other plants in their diets.
*''Fire'' is stronger when provided with oxygen, which is exactly what ''flowers'' provide.
*''Birds'', such as crows, will often attack farm ''crops'' for food, often destroying said crops.
*''Cold'' environments are often unsuitable for ''plants'' to grow. Flowers will wilt and trees will lose their leaves in Winter.
*''Pesticides'', weed-killers, and other toxins, will poison and kill ''plants'' if not used in a proper manner.

::::One can just as easily say that the origin and name origin sections of Pokemon articles are speculation as well. There is reason behind many of the type match ups, so it should be added, even if it's just to cover a few of the match-up reasonings.

Of course, you having more authority than me, I accept your decision knowing that my opinion doesn't make much of a difference anyway. [[User:Frushil!|Frushil!]] 03:33, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

== Difference between Primary and Secondary types ==

I'm not 100% sure about what I'm about to say because I haven't confirmed it with the whole Pokémon list, but I'm bringing it here so others may comment.

I believe the only difference between Primary and Secondary types is mostly due to the basics of the Pokémon in question: Primary type is what it will always be, while Secondary type may change.

Example: Surskit is a Bug/Water type. It will always be a Bug, even after evolution, but as it evolves it's Secondary type no longer applies.

This would also explain why Flying types are always secondary, as they are only "flying" when in flight. Otherwise, when on land, they are simply what their Primary-type defines (Pidgeys are Normal, Zapdos is Electric, and so on).

I believe the games assume Flying-type Pokémon are always airborne when in battle, but it would be interesting to see if, in future generations, they add the option to tell a flying Pokémon to land, hence "losing" its Flying-type temporarily (for strategic reasons).

Anyway, this is just a theory. If I missed any evidence of it being otherwise, let me know :)

EDIT: Actually, I just noticed that there ARE some exceptions, where it's the Primary-type that changes in evolution, but so far that only seems to happen when you use an unusual form of evolution (like Onix losing its Rock-type into Steel-type when trading it with a particular item). This seems to hint that both types can change, but the Primary-type refers to the nature of the Pokémon (harder to change), while the Secondary-type is mostly a complementary part of its existence.

[[User:Raven-14|Raven-14]] 12:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, all of that is speculation, which means it doesn't belong on the wiki. You could bring it up on the forums, however. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 16:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

== Type Ordering ==

Can someone please explain why the types are listed in this order:

Normal
Fighting
Flying
Poison
Ground
Rock
Bug
Ghost
Steel
Fire
Water
Electric
Psychic
Ice
Dragon
Dark

The ordering is messed up & completely wrong, the ordering used in the manual of Red/Blue, & the Diamond/Pearl Poketch type matchup application, & probably other official sources is this:

Normal
Fire
Water
Electric
Grass
Ice
Fighting
Poison
Ground
Flying
Psychic
Bug
Rock
Ghost
Dragon
Dark
Steel

Since this is the official ordering, should this not be the order Bulbapedia uses? If it is due to the former Physical/Special split then it really needs to be changed as it is 4 years out of date. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:16, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:Go into the Pokédex in any Gen IV game and search by type. The list of selections comes up in the following order:
:#Normal

:#Steel
:#Fire
:#Water
:#Grass
:#Electric

== Any others? ==

I was just curious, are there any other types, that if mixed together into a duel-typed Pokémon together, would be like Dark/Ghost types in terms of resistance. If so, is it worth noting? --[[User:BeeBwakka|Bee]] [[Special:Random|§]] [[User talk:BeeBwakka|Bwakka]] 22:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

== Move ==

I don't see why this page is at [[elemental type]]. I have never heard it called this by any official source. I have always heard it called simply "type", or in the [[Official Pokémon Handbook]] (which is Generation I, and all subsequent Official Pokémon Handbooks use "type"), "element". I do hope that this is not the reason for the page title, since Generation I can't really be trusted for official terms anymore (Clefaries anyone?). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:40, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

:::Nice catch, Snorlax - I have never heard it referred even as element.

== Items and Abilities ==

Wouldn't it be a good idea to include a section on each individual type's page that lists all the items and abilities that boost or reduce the power of that type, and how much by. Also, it would be good to include abilities that prevent certain types of moves from working e.g. levitate. So fire's might look like:

===Offensive===

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It was not officially revealed until February of 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed, which takes on the {{type2|Flying}} as a secondary type.

It is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaymin and Gracideas]]
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower, several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex height of 0'08", it is also among the nearly smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}}, and {{p|Chingling}}, only surpassed by {{p|Joltik}}.
[[File:Shaymin revert.png|250px|thumb|{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} reverting back at night and in the cold]]
As first revealed by Japan's [[CoroCoro]] Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has [[Status ailment#Freeze|contact with ice]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canid-like appearance that also bears some resemblance to a small reindeer. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat, white ears that look like wings or antlers. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any polluted area of all unclean things in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. They take in the polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}}, their [[signature move]]. Its power varies on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others, hence its species classification, the ''Gratitude Pokémon''.

===Behavior===
[[File:Shaymin curled up.png|right|thumb|230px|Shaymin curled up]]
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing." Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form — Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful. If wet, Shaymin shake themselves to dry themselves off, and also may exhibit the behavior of scratching themselves with a hind leg.

===Habitat===
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by {{m|Defense Curl|curling itself up}}, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to {{p|Geodude}} on rocky terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Shaymin is seen liking sweet food such as [[Poffin]]s and pancakes. In Platinum, when caught at the [[Flower Paradise]], Shaymin have been observed to hold the [[Lum Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shaymin anime.png|thumb|190px|Shaymin in the anime]]
{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} made its debut in the 11th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from Giratina, after enraging it in the [[Reverse World]]. Shaymin thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, when the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin to utilize its Seed Flare to open a portal to the real world. It premiered both of its forms in the movie. Shaymin also makes a minor appearance in Arceus and the Jewel of Life's credits where it stands gazing upon the land on a tree.

Shaymin made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Like {{p|Darkrai}}, despite being an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, both the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] are able to allow the player to access the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event having been activated.
** This has been rectified in {{game|Platinum}}, as neither Pokémon will appear without the event, even if the player manages to access their area.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the first and, as of [[Generation V]], the only pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this trait with {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}}.
** Out of the four Pokémon listed above, Shaymin is also the only one who is genderless.
** Also out of the above four, Shaymin is the only one that doesn't [[Roaming Pokémon|roam around]].
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all after someone gave thanks for life's blessings. Additionally, the woman who gives the {{player}} a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower can be found in Floaroma Town.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if spoken with during the player's travel with her in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. Additionally, if a Shaymin is in the player's party, she will take notice.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]], Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 [[Experience]] to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since the [[player character]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
** Despite this, the only cry used in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] is the one of its Land Forme.
** Due to the Pokédex only registering the first forme's cry, it is impossible to listen to the Sky Forme's cry on it. This is because Shaymin traded in their Sky Forme revert to Land Forme, and wild Shaymin are always in their Land Forme. Also, Pokémon battled between players are not registered in the Pokédex, meaning that it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin before the Land Forme. It shares this trait with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|the starter Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow. In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex allows switching between which Forme is the primary one displayed, therefore allowing Sky Forme's cry to be listened to.
* Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
* Shaymin is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Giratina}}.
* Shaymin is tied with {{p|Celebi}} for highest [[base stat total]] of all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Platinum}} will be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon, making it the only Pokémon able to be caught from the wild that has this status. This is to allow it to transform into Sky Forme, as non-fateful Shaymin cannot transform.
** This may be part of the reason why [[Oak's Letter]] was never released for distribution to Diamond and Pearl, as the Shaymin in those games, even if it is caught legitimately, will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin and thus not be able to transform. The reason behind disallowing this was probably to disallow those who had [[cheating|cheated]] to get Shaymin and those who used the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] to do so from obtaining the otherwise-special Sky Forme Shaymin.
*Sky Forme Shaymin has the highest base Speed of all Grass-types.
*Fans have nicknamed Shaymin's Sky Forme 'Skymin'.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon.
*Shaymin learns one new move every nine levels.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.

====Name origin====
Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, the word "shaman" can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It was not officially revealed until February of 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed, which takes on the {{type2|Flying}} as a secondary type.

It is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon.

===Physiology===
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaymin and Gracideas]]
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower, several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex height of 0'08", it is also among the nearly smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}}, and {{p|Chingling}}, only surpassed by {{[p|Joltik}}.
[[File:Shaymin revert.png|250px|thumb|{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} reverting back at night and in the cold]]
As first revealed by Japan's [[CoroCoro]] Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has [[Status ailment#Freeze|contact with ice]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canid-like appearance that also bears some resemblance to a small reindeer. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat, white ears that look like wings or antlers. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any polluted area of all unclean things in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. They take in the polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}}, their [[signature move]]. Its power varies on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others, hence its species classification, the ''Gratitude Pokémon''.

===Behavior===
[[File:Shaymin curled up.png|right|thumb|230px|Shaymin curled up]]
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing." Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form — Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful. If wet, Shaymin shake themselves to dry themselves off, and also may exhibit the behavior of scratching themselves with a hind leg.

===Habitat===
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by {{m|Defense Curl|curling itself up}}, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to {{p|Geodude}} on rocky terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Shaymin is seen liking sweet food such as [[Poffin]]s and pancakes. In Platinum, when caught at the [[Flower Paradise]], Shaymin have been observed to hold the [[Lum Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shaymin anime.png|thumb|190px|Shaymin in the anime]]
{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} made its debut in the 11th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from Giratina, after enraging it in the [[Reverse World]]. Shaymin thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, when the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin to utilize its Seed Flare to open a portal to the real world. It premiered both of its forms in the movie. Shaymin also makes a minor appearance in Arceus and the Jewel of Life's credits where it stands gazing upon the land on a tree.

Shaymin made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Like {{p|Darkrai}}, despite being an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, both the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] are able to allow the player to access the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event having been activated.
** This has been rectified in {{game|Platinum}}, as neither Pokémon will appear without the event, even if the player manages to access their area.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the first and, as of [[Generation V]], the only pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this trait with {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}}.
** Out of the four Pokémon listed above, Shaymin is also the only one who is genderless.
** Also out of the above four, Shaymin is the only one that doesn't [[Roaming Pokémon|roam around]].
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all after someone gave thanks for life's blessings. Additionally, the woman who gives the {{player}} a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower can be found in Floaroma Town.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if spoken with during the player's travel with her in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. Additionally, if a Shaymin is in the player's party, she will take notice.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]], Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 [[Experience]] to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since the [[player character]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
** Despite this, the only cry used in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] is the one of its Land Forme.
** Due to the Pokédex only registering the first forme's cry, it is impossible to listen to the Sky Forme's cry on it. This is because Shaymin traded in their Sky Forme revert to Land Forme, and wild Shaymin are always in their Land Forme. Also, Pokémon battled between players are not registered in the Pokédex, meaning that it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin before the Land Forme. It shares this trait with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|the starter Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow. In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex allows switching between which Forme is the primary one displayed, therefore allowing Sky Forme's cry to be listened to.
* Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
* Shaymin is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Giratina}}.
* Shaymin is tied with {{p|Celebi}} for highest [[base stat total]] of all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Platinum}} will be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon, making it the only Pokémon able to be caught from the wild that has this status. This is to allow it to transform into Sky Forme, as non-fateful Shaymin cannot transform.
** This may be part of the reason why [[Oak's Letter]] was never released for distribution to Diamond and Pearl, as the Shaymin in those games, even if it is caught legitimately, will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin and thus not be able to transform. The reason behind disallowing this was probably to disallow those who had [[cheating|cheated]] to get Shaymin and those who used the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] to do so from obtaining the otherwise-special Sky Forme Shaymin.
*Sky Forme Shaymin has the highest base Speed of all Grass-types.
*Fans have nicknamed Shaymin's Sky Forme 'Skymin'.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon.
*Shaymin learns one new move every nine levels.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.

====Name origin====
Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, the word "shaman" can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It was not officially revealed until February of 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed, which takes on the {{type2|Flying}} as a secondary type.

It is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaymin and Gracideas]]
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower, several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex height of 0'08", it is also among the nearly smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}}, and {{p|Chingling}}, only surpassed by [p|Joltik].
[[File:Shaymin revert.png|250px|thumb|{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} reverting back at night and in the cold]]
As first revealed by Japan's [[CoroCoro]] Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has [[Status ailment#Freeze|contact with ice]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canid-like appearance that also bears some resemblance to a small reindeer. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat, white ears that look like wings or antlers. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any polluted area of all unclean things in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. They take in the polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}}, their [[signature move]]. Its power varies on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others, hence its species classification, the ''Gratitude Pokémon''.

===Behavior===
[[File:Shaymin curled up.png|right|thumb|230px|Shaymin curled up]]
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing." Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form — Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful. If wet, Shaymin shake themselves to dry themselves off, and also may exhibit the behavior of scratching themselves with a hind leg.

===Habitat===
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by {{m|Defense Curl|curling itself up}}, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to {{p|Geodude}} on rocky terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Shaymin is seen liking sweet food such as [[Poffin]]s and pancakes. In Platinum, when caught at the [[Flower Paradise]], Shaymin have been observed to hold the [[Lum Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shaymin anime.png|thumb|190px|Shaymin in the anime]]
{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} made its debut in the 11th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from Giratina, after enraging it in the [[Reverse World]]. Shaymin thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, when the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin to utilize its Seed Flare to open a portal to the real world. It premiered both of its forms in the movie. Shaymin also makes a minor appearance in Arceus and the Jewel of Life's credits where it stands gazing upon the land on a tree.

Shaymin made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Like {{p|Darkrai}}, despite being an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, both the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] are able to allow the player to access the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event having been activated.
** This has been rectified in {{game|Platinum}}, as neither Pokémon will appear without the event, even if the player manages to access their area.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the first and, as of [[Generation V]], the only pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this trait with {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}}.
** Out of the four Pokémon listed above, Shaymin is also the only one who is genderless.
** Also out of the above four, Shaymin is the only one that doesn't [[Roaming Pokémon|roam around]].
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all after someone gave thanks for life's blessings. Additionally, the woman who gives the {{player}} a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower can be found in Floaroma Town.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if spoken with during the player's travel with her in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. Additionally, if a Shaymin is in the player's party, she will take notice.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]], Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 [[Experience]] to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since the [[player character]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
** Despite this, the only cry used in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] is the one of its Land Forme.
** Due to the Pokédex only registering the first forme's cry, it is impossible to listen to the Sky Forme's cry on it. This is because Shaymin traded in their Sky Forme revert to Land Forme, and wild Shaymin are always in their Land Forme. Also, Pokémon battled between players are not registered in the Pokédex, meaning that it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin before the Land Forme. It shares this trait with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|the starter Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow. In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex allows switching between which Forme is the primary one displayed, therefore allowing Sky Forme's cry to be listened to.
* Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
* Shaymin is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Giratina}}.
* Shaymin is tied with {{p|Celebi}} for highest [[base stat total]] of all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Platinum}} will be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon, making it the only Pokémon able to be caught from the wild that has this status. This is to allow it to transform into Sky Forme, as non-fateful Shaymin cannot transform.
** This may be part of the reason why [[Oak's Letter]] was never released for distribution to Diamond and Pearl, as the Shaymin in those games, even if it is caught legitimately, will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin and thus not be able to transform. The reason behind disallowing this was probably to disallow those who had [[cheating|cheated]] to get Shaymin and those who used the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] to do so from obtaining the otherwise-special Sky Forme Shaymin.
*Sky Forme Shaymin has the highest base Speed of all Grass-types.
*Fans have nicknamed Shaymin's Sky Forme 'Skymin'.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon.
*Shaymin learns one new move every nine levels.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.

====Name origin====
Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, the word "shaman" can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It was not officially revealed until February of 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed, which takes on the {{type2|Flying}} as a secondary type.

It is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaymin and Gracideas]]
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower, several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date.
{{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}}, and {{p|Chingling}}.
[[File:Shaymin revert.png|250px|thumb|{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} reverting back at night and in the cold]]
As first revealed by Japan's [[CoroCoro]] Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has [[Status ailment#Freeze|contact with ice]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canid-like appearance that also bears some resemblance to a small reindeer. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat, white ears that look like wings or antlers. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any polluted area of all unclean things in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. They take in the polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}}, their [[signature move]]. Its power varies on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others, hence its species classification, the ''Gratitude Pokémon''.

===Behavior===
[[File:Shaymin curled up.png|right|thumb|230px|Shaymin curled up]]
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing." Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form — Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful. If wet, Shaymin shake themselves to dry themselves off, and also may exhibit the behavior of scratching themselves with a hind leg.

===Habitat===
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by {{m|Defense Curl|curling itself up}}, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to {{p|Geodude}} on rocky terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Shaymin is seen liking sweet food such as [[Poffin]]s and pancakes. In Platinum, when caught at the [[Flower Paradise]], Shaymin have been observed to hold the [[Lum Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shaymin anime.png|thumb|190px|Shaymin in the anime]]
{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} made its debut in the 11th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from Giratina, after enraging it in the [[Reverse World]]. Shaymin thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, when the Renegade Pokemon wanted to use Shaymin to utilize its Seed Flare to open a portal to the real world. It premiered both of its forms in the movie. Shaymin also makes a minor appearance in Arceus and the Jewel of Life's credits where it stands gazing upon the land on a tree.

Shaymin made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Like {{p|Darkrai}}, despite being an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, both the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] are able to allow the player to access the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event having been activated.
** This has been rectified in {{game|Platinum}}, as neither Pokémon will appear without the event, even if the player manages to access their area.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the first and, as of [[Generation V]], the only pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this trait with {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}}.
** Out of the four Pokémon listed above, Shaymin is also the only one who is genderless.
** Also out of the above four, Shaymin is the only one that doesn't [[Roaming Pokémon|roam around]].
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all after someone gave thanks for life's blessings. Additionally, the woman who gives the {{player}} a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower can be found in Floaroma Town.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if spoken with during the player's travel with her in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. Additionally, if a Shaymin is in the player's party, she will take notice.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]], Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 [[Experience]] to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since the [[player character]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
** Despite this, the only cry used in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] is the one of its Land Forme.
** Due to the Pokédex only registering the first forme's cry, it is impossible to listen to the Sky Forme's cry on it. This is because Shaymin traded in their Sky Forme revert to Land Forme, and wild Shaymin are always in their Land Forme. Also, Pokémon battled between players are not registered in the Pokédex, meaning that it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin before the Land Forme. It shares this trait with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|the starter Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow. In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex allows switching between which Forme is the primary one displayed, therefore allowing Sky Forme's cry to be listened to.
* Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
* Shaymin is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Giratina}}.
* Shaymin is tied with {{p|Celebi}} for highest [[base stat total]] of all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Platinum}} will be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon, making it the only Pokémon able to be caught from the wild that has this status. This is to allow it to transform into Sky Forme, as non-fateful Shaymin cannot transform.
** This may be part of the reason why [[Oak's Letter]] was never released for distribution to Diamond and Pearl, as the Shaymin in those games, even if it is caught legitimately, will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin and thus not be able to transform. The reasoning behind disallowing this, of course, was to disallow those who had [[cheating|cheated]] to get Shaymin and those who used the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] to do so from obtaining the otherwise-special Sky Forme Shaymin.
*Sky Forme Shaymin has the highest base Speed of all Grass-types.
*Fans have nicknamed Shaymin's Sky Forme 'Skymin'.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon.
*Shaymin learns one new move every nine levels.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. It as well shares traits with cats and is extremely fast like some sort of {{wp|feline}}.Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.

====Name origin====
Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, the word "shaman" can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon share its type combination with Sazando and its {{p|Monozu|evolutionary}} {{p|Jiheddo|line}}.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Sazando evolves from its pre-evolution later than any other Pokémon, at level 64.
* Sazando is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon to have a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} stat than {{stat|Attack}}.
** Sazando has the highest base Special Attack of all the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
** Sazando has the lowest base Attack of all the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Sazando is the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon with multiple elemental immunities; however, Sazando's immunity to Ground is due to its ability, {{a|Levitate}}.
* Sazando and {{p|Metagross}} are the only [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon that do not have any 4× weaknesses.
* Sazando is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat over 125.

===Origin===
Sazando and its evolutionary line may be based upon the [[wp:Lernaean Hydra|Lernaean Hydra]] of Greek Mythology, a beast that grew two more heads in its place if one was severed. It also brings to mind [[wp:King Ghidorah|King Ghidorah]], the three-headed archenemy of [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]]. Its type combination and ability support this connection.
