'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[happiness]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is also the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game. It has also made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pikachu is a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. Pikachu's ears are long and come to a point with black tips. It has a small mouth which resembles a sideways 3, it has black eyes and two red circles on its cheeks. Its forearms are short and somewhat stubby, with 5 digits on each "hand" and its feet have three digits. It has two brown stripes on its back, and its tail is in the shape of Zigzag-styled lightning bolt, with a patch of brown fur at the base of the tail. It's technically a {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, but has been shown to be able to walk upright on its hind legs.

Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}} and the {{p|Marill}} {{p|Azurill|evolutionary}} {{p|Azumarill|family}} due to their many physical similarities.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.

====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a v-shaped "dent" at the end of its tail. Male Pikachu do not have this dent. However, both genders' tails resemble a lightning bolt, fitting their Electric typing. In Black and White, male Pikachu have less black covering their ear, this is only shown in frontal sprites. Also female Pikachu have slightly longer ears, this is also only shown in frontal sprites.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Move|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.

As Pikachu builds up energy in its electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to remove unneeded energy safely. A sure sign that a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electromagnetic forces, which severely affect the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to manipulate water and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}. Pikachu also have their own signature held item - the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}. This item boosts a Pikachu's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats, and, when held by a Pikachu in the daycare center, causes the offspring to know the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Pikachu is known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electromagnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well-being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite, which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region (specifically, the [[Viridian Forest]] and the [[Power Plant|Kanto Power Plant]]), although they have been introduced to the {{safari|Hoenn|Hoenn Safari Zone}} and to the [[Trophy Garden]] in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in forested areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berry|berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time. They especially like [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]], which wild Pikachu are often seen holding.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup. Pikachu is also occasionally seen eating apples.

==In the anime==
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. He has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu does not like being in his [[Poké Ball]].

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', as Pikachu seemed very happy with the other Pikachu. Even though he did attempt to, the bond between the two was too strong, so Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. [[Pikachutwo|This Pikachu]] can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Numerous other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

[[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} was once a Pikachu, as was [[Volkner]]'s Raichu when Volkner was younger.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|instructor]]'s {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

A Pikachu named [[Abigail|Sugar]] belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, Sugar returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

A Pikachu that belonged to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

{{main|Pika}}
{{main|Chuchu}}
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed "Pika", became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had. It also served on Yellow's team while Red was held captive by the [[Elite Four]] during the {{chap|Yellow}} before being returned to him, during which Yellow discovered that it can [[Surf]].

In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]] during the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] of her own nicknamed "Chuchu", that she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joined Yellow and Chuchu on their adventure to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. Later on, after Yellow and Wilton were brought to the Day Care after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} and {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|right|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:Coin Pikachu Holon Phantoms.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{tcg|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the [[Pokémon Play It!]] PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game [[Pokémon Card GB]], and is one of the coins that can be obtained in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], where it is given by [[Club Master Isaac]] to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
One Pikachu figure has been released.

'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|でんげき|Dengeki}}''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a blue sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|right|250px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|right|Pikachu's appearance in Pokémon Stadium.]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Pikachu as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Pikachu on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both the Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* There have been two Pikachu balloons in the {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its farewell appearance at the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in August of 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a [[Poké Ball]] balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon.
* Despite Pikachu's absence from the Unova Dex and not being native to [[Unova]], a Trainer's Pikachu can be seen in [[Castelia City]], and another Pikachu is depicted on a billboard. Also, there are several Pikachu-shaped hedges in [[Striaton City]], There is a large Pikachu-head balloon near the gym in [[Nimbasa City]], and Pikachu is depicted on clothing worn by male {{tc|PokéFan}}s.
* The earliest sketch of Pikachu had a white muzzle, but soon became yellow like the rest of its body.
*If the following link is used enough times Riot Games will make a League of Legends Character based off of Pikachu
http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=4f294c96a6caf680119263
==={{game|Yellow}}-related trivia===
[[File:Original-RedPika.png|thumb|Pikachu's status screen in Pokémon Yellow.]]
* Pikachu is the first [[starter Pokémon]] to not be {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type2|Water}}. The others are {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}.
* In the games, Pikachu is the only Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for. Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
* Pikachu is the only main series [[starter Pokémon]] that can be received by the {{player}} that can be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.
* Pikachu is the only starter that is an evolved form. However, this wasn't true during the [[Generation I|generation it was a starter on]], as its [[Pichu|pre-evolved form]] wasn't revealed until [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Its [[species]] suggests that it is based on a {{wp|mouse}}. Despite its name, however, it has no relation to the {{wp|pika}}, which is related to rabbits.

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'', which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and チューチュー ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[happiness]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is also the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game. It has also made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pikachu is a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. Pikachu's ears are long and come to a point with black tips. It has a small mouth which resembles a sideways 3, it has black eyes and two red circles on its cheeks. Its forearms are short and somewhat stubby, with 5 digits on each "hand" and its feet have three digits. It has two brown stripes on its back, and its tail is in the shape of Zigzag-styled lightning bolt, with a patch of brown fur at the base of the tail. It's technically a {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, but has been shown to be able to walk upright on its hind legs.

Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}} and the {{p|Marill}} {{p|Azurill|evolutionary}} {{p|Azumarill|family}} due to their many physical similarities.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.

====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a v-shaped "dent" at the end of its tail. Male Pikachu do not have this dent. However, both genders' tails resemble a lightning bolt, fitting their Electric typing. In Black and White, male Pikachu have less black covering their ear, this is only shown in frontal sprites. Also female Pikachu have slightly longer ears, this is also only shown in frontal sprites.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Move|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.

As Pikachu builds up energy in its electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to remove unneeded energy safely. A sure sign that a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electromagnetic forces, which severely affect the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to manipulate water and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}. Pikachu also have their own signature held item - the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}. This item boosts a Pikachu's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats, and, when held by a Pikachu in the daycare center, causes the offspring to know the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Pikachu is known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electromagnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well-being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite, which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region (specifically, the [[Viridian Forest]] and the [[Power Plant|Kanto Power Plant]]), although they have been introduced to the {{safari|Hoenn|Hoenn Safari Zone}} and to the [[Trophy Garden]] in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in forested areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berry|berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time. They especially like [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]], which wild Pikachu are often seen holding.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup. Pikachu is also occasionally seen eating apples.

==In the anime==
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|250px|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. He has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu does not like being in his [[Poké Ball]].

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', as Pikachu seemed very happy with the other Pikachu. Even though he did attempt to, the bond between the two was too strong, so Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. [[Pikachutwo|This Pikachu]] can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Numerous other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

[[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} was once a Pikachu, as was [[Volkner]]'s Raichu when Volkner was younger.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|instructor]]'s {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

A Pikachu named [[Abigail|Sugar]] belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, Sugar returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

A Pikachu that belonged to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Pika.png|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
{{main|Pika}}
{{main|Chuchu}}
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed "Pika", became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had. It also served on Yellow's team while Red was held captive by the [[Elite Four]] during the {{chap|Yellow}} before being returned to him, during which Yellow discovered that it can [[Surf]].

In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]] during the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] of her own nicknamed "Chuchu", that she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joined Yellow and Chuchu on their adventure to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. Later on, after Yellow and Wilton were brought to the Day Care after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} and {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|right|thumb|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:Coin Pikachu Holon Phantoms.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{tcg|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the [[Pokémon Play It!]] PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game [[Pokémon Card GB]], and is one of the coins that can be obtained in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], where it is given by [[Club Master Isaac]] to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
One Pikachu figure has been released.

'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|でんげき|Dengeki}}''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a blue sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|right|250px|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|right|Pikachu's appearance in Pokémon Stadium.]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Pikachu as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Pikachu on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both the Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* There have been two Pikachu balloons in the {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its farewell appearance at the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in August of 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a [[Poké Ball]] balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon.
* Despite Pikachu's absence from the Unova Dex and not being native to [[Unova]], a Trainer's Pikachu can be seen in [[Castelia City]], and another Pikachu is depicted on a billboard. Also, there are several Pikachu-shaped hedges in [[Striaton City]], There is a large Pikachu-head balloon near the gym in [[Nimbasa City]], and Pikachu is depicted on clothing worn by male {{tc|PokéFan}}s.
* The earliest sketch of Pikachu had a white muzzle, but soon became yellow like the rest of its body.
*If the following link is used enough times Riot Games will make a League
of Legends Character based off of Pikachu
==={{game|Yellow}}-related trivia===
[[File:Original-RedPika.png|thumb|Pikachu's status screen in Pokémon Yellow.]]
* Pikachu is the first [[starter Pokémon]] to not be {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type2|Water}}. The others are {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}.
* In the games, Pikachu is the only Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for. Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
* Pikachu is the only main series [[starter Pokémon]] that can be received by the {{player}} that can be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.
* Pikachu is the only starter that is an evolved form. However, this wasn't true during the [[Generation I|generation it was a starter on]], as its [[Pichu|pre-evolved form]] wasn't revealed until [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Its [[species]] suggests that it is based on a {{wp|mouse}}. Despite its name, however, it has no relation to the {{wp|pika}}, which is related to rabbits.

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'', which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle, and チューチュー ''chūchū'', which is the sound of squeaking.

==Trivia==
* Alongside its evolution {{p|Abomasnow}} as well as {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Celebi}}, Snover has the most weaknesses in the game, with 7 types super-effective against it.
* As of Generation IV, Snover is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* As of Generation IV, Snover learns {{m|Blizzard}} at the earliest level of all Pokémon at level 41.
===Origin===
Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

====Name origin====
Snover may be derived from ''snow'' and ''clover'' or ''cover'' – as in covered with snow. Alternatively, it could be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over."
Yukikaburi's name comes the Japanese words 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 頭 ''kaburi'', head. Alternatively, 蕪菁 ''kabu'' is Japanese for {{wp|turnip}}, and 被せる ''kabuseru'' means to cover – in this case, with snow.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Shnebedeck - From ''Schnee'' (snow) and ''bedeckt'' (covered).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Blizzi - From ''blizzard''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈쓰개 ''Nunsseugae''

==Trivia==
* It has a 5% chance of holding a NeverMeltIce in {{gameabbrev|D/P/Pt|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}
* Alongside its evolution {{p|Abomasnow}} as well as {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Celebi}}, Snover has the most weaknesses in the game, with 7 types super-effective against it.
* As of Generation IV, Snover is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* As of Generation IV, Snover learns {{m|Blizzard}} at the earliest level of all Pokémon at level 41.
===Origin===
Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

====Name origin====
Snover may be derived from ''snow'' and ''clover'' or ''cover'' – as in covered with snow. Alternatively, it could be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over."
Yukikaburi's name comes the Japanese words 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 頭 ''kaburi'', head. Alternatively, 蕪菁 ''kabu'' is Japanese for {{wp|turnip}}, and 被せる ''kabuseru'' means to cover – in this case, with snow.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Shnebedeck - From ''Schnee'' (snow) and ''bedeckt'' (covered).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Blizzi - From ''blizzard''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈쓰개 ''Nunsseugae''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 小雪人 ''Xiao Xue Ren''

'''Nosepass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノズパス''' ''Nosepass'') is a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Probopass}} when [[level]]ed up in the strong magnetic fields of [[Mt. Coronet]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nosepass are Pokémon composed of hard rock. They closely resemble statues of human heads. Their most famous feature are their bright red noses, which are highly magnetic. They also have arms and legs, but don't appear to have any joints.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Their noses can function as {{wp|electromagnet}}s that point north. They cannot face each other since they all have the same polarity.

===Behavior===
It usually stands in one spot with its nose pointing north. It's said to be unmoving, but it actually can shift slightly.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon apparently feeds on prey that are attracted by its magnetism. This may attract Magnemite (due to their documented liking for eletronics and magnetic sources) that may not be edible.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Nosepass1.JPG|190px|right|thumb|Nosepass in the anime]]
[[Roxanne]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Rustboro City]], has a Nosepass which appeared in ''[[AG016|A Winner By a Nosepass]]''. It was used in a gym battle against [[Ash Ketchum]].

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', a young man named [[Hank]] used his Nosepass to track down {{Ash}}'s missing {{AP|Aipom}}.

In ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round the Mountain!]]'', Ash battled a boy named [[Alan]] and his Nosepass at [[Mt. Coronet]]. The Nosepass then evolved into {{p|Probopass}}.

A Nosepass also appeared in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

A group of Nosepass appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' together with its evolution, {{p|Probopass}}.

==In the manga==
[[Roxanne]]'s main Pokémon is a Nosepass. During her battle against {{Special|Sapphire}} she used Nosepass' Magnet Pull so that her {{p|Aron}} cannot be switched. She saves its Poké Ball inside a hollowed-out book.

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=3
|rubydex=Nosepass's magnetic nose is always pointed to the north. If two of these Pokémon meet, they cannot turn their faces to each other when they are close because their magnetic noses repel one another.
|sapphiredex=Nosepass had been said to be completely unmoving, with its magnetic nose pointed due north. However, close observation has revealed that the Pokémon actually moves by a little over 3/8 of an inch every year.
|emeralddex=Its body emits a powerful magnetism. It feeds on prey that is pulled in by the force. Its magnetism is stronger in cold seasons.
|firereddex=Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check Nosepass to get their bearings.
|leafgreendex=Its magnetic nose consistently faces north. Travelers check Nosepass to get their bearings.
|diamonddex=Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
|pearldex=Its nose is a magnet. As a result, this Pokémon always keeps its face pointing north.
|platinumdex=When endangered, it may protect itself by raising its magnetism and drawing iron objects to its body.

==Trivia==
* Nosepass may hold a hard stone in the wild
* Nosepass is the only pure {{type2|Rock}} whose evolution is dual-type, as {{p|Probopass}} is {{2t|Rock|Steel}}.
* Nosepass's body was gray and its edges rounded during the [[Generation III]] games, but was changed to blue and more angular in [[Generation IV]].
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon that can be found through HM means other than {{m|Surf}}. This only applies to Generation III, and with the move {{m|Rock Smash}}.
* Nosepass is one of the three Pokémon to evolve at a certain area; the other two are {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Magneton}}.
** Out of the three, Magneton and Nosepass evolve at Mt. Coronet.
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon which undergoes evolution in a specific area that is catchable in that same area.
* Nosepass is the only Pokémon with {{a|Magnet Pull}} that is not itself a Steel-type, thus not affected by it.
===Origin===
It is probably based on the {{wp|Moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}}.
====Name origin====
Nosepass's name may be a combination of ''nose'' and ''{{wp|compass}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nasgnet - Derived from ''nase'' (nose) and ''magnet.''
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tarinor - From ''narine'' (nostril), and ''nord'' (north).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코코파스 ''Cocopass''

*Aron's name is an anagram of {{b|Oran}}; it is the only Pokémon whose name is an anagram of a Berry.
*Aron does not learn any Rock-type moves by leveling up, though it is part Rock. Its whole evolutionary family shares this trait.

===Origin===
Aron may have been based on an ''{{wp|armadillo}}''.

====Name origin====
Aron's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|armadillo}}'' and ''{{wp|iron}}''. ''Armor'' may also be a part of its name. Aron's Japanese name can be broken down into 子 ''ko'', child, and ''{{p|Lairon|Kodora}}''. Kodora is the Japanese name of Aron's evolution, {{p|Lairon}}, hence ''child Kodora''.

==Trivia==
* It has a 5% chance of holding a NeverMeltIce in {{gameabbrev|D/P/Pt|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}
* Alongside its evolution {{p|Abomasnow}} as well as {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Celebi}}, Snover has the most weaknesses in the game, with 7 types super-effective against it.
* As of Generation IV, Snover is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* As of Generation IV, Snover learns {{m|Blizzard}} at the earliest level of all Pokémon at level 41.
===Origin===
Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

====Name origin====
Snover may be derived from ''snow'' and ''clover'' or ''cover'' – as in covered with snow. Alternatively, it could be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over."
Yukikaburi's name comes the Japanese words 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 頭 ''kaburi'', head. Alternatively, 蕪菁 ''kabu'' is Japanese for {{wp|turnip}}, and 被せる ''kabuseru'' means to cover – in this case, with snow.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Shnebedeck - From ''Schnee'' (snow) and ''bedeckt'' (covered).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Blizzi - From ''blizzard''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈쓰개 ''Nunsseugae''

==Trivia==
* It has a 5% chance of holding a NeverMeltIce in {{g|Diamond}} {{g|Pearl}} and {{g|Platinum}}
* Alongside its evolution {{p|Abomasnow}} as well as {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Celebi}}, Snover has the most weaknesses in the game, with 7 types super-effective against it.
* As of Generation IV, Snover is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* As of Generation IV, Snover learns {{m|Blizzard}} at the earliest level of all Pokémon at level 41.
===Origin===
Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

====Name origin====
Snover may be derived from ''snow'' and ''clover'' or ''cover'' – as in covered with snow. Alternatively, it could be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over."
Yukikaburi's name comes the Japanese words 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 頭 ''kaburi'', head. Alternatively, 蕪菁 ''kabu'' is Japanese for {{wp|turnip}}, and 被せる ''kabuseru'' means to cover – in this case, with snow.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Shnebedeck - From ''Schnee'' (snow) and ''bedeckt'' (covered).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Blizzi - From ''blizzard''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈쓰개 ''Nunsseugae''

==Trivia==
* It has a 5% chance of holding a NeverMeltIce in {{p|Diamand}} {{p|Pearl}} and {{p|Platinum}}
* Alongside its evolution {{p|Abomasnow}} as well as {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Celebi}}, Snover has the most weaknesses in the game, with 7 types super-effective against it.
* As of Generation IV, Snover is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* As of Generation IV, Snover learns {{m|Blizzard}} at the earliest level of all Pokémon at level 41.
===Origin===
Snover appears to have been based on the {{wp|daikon radish}}, also known as the ''winter radish'', which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

====Name origin====
Snover may be derived from ''snow'' and ''clover'' or ''cover'' – as in covered with snow. Alternatively, it could be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over."
Yukikaburi's name comes the Japanese words 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 頭 ''kaburi'', head. Alternatively, 蕪菁 ''kabu'' is Japanese for {{wp|turnip}}, and 被せる ''kabuseru'' means to cover – in this case, with snow.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Shnebedeck - From ''Schnee'' (snow) and ''bedeckt'' (covered).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Blizzi - From ''blizzard''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈쓰개 ''Nunsseugae''

Plate

Akivalevi: /* File:Bag Sky Plate Sprite.png Sky Plate */

[[Image:Arceus Formes.gif|frame|Animation showing Arceus's forms]]
A '''Plate''' (Japanese: '''プレート''' ''Plate'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]], primarily for use in changing {{p|Arceus}}'s [[elemental type]] and form to the corresponding type of Plate. However, it will also increase the attack power of [[move]]s of the Plate's type used by any Pokémon holding it by 20%. The Plates also change the type of {{m|Judgment}}, and due to this, Judgment will always have effectively 120 power unless the user is not holding a Plate. There is a Plate available for every elemental type except {{t|Normal}}, and while there exists a {{type2|???}} Arceus, there is no associated ??? Plate, meaning there are 16 Plates in total.

The 16 Plates are spread far and wide across [[Sinnoh]], and can also be dug up in [[the Underground]]. What follows is a list of what effect a Plate has when held and where they can be found in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, besides in the Underground.

==Engravings==
Each Plate has a different engraving which reveals part of the myth of the creation of the Pokémon universe. No engraving is tied to a specific Plate; they will appear each one at a time depending on how many Plates the player has found so far, with the ninth Plate found using the same engraving as the first. In Platinum, after talking to Lucian at the Canalave Library with the event Arceus in the player's party, a book on the second floor with the engravings written in it will be left.
*''"When the universe was created, its [[shard]]s became this Plate."''

*''"The rightful bearer of a Plate {{a|Multitype|draws from}} the Plate it holds."''

==In the anime==
[[Image:ThreePlates.png|thumb|right|Three Plates placed in the Solaceon Ruins]]

[[File:Arceus Plates anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Arceus's Plates]]

[[File:Arceusanditsplates.JPG|thumb|left| Arceus using its Plates]]

Plates first appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where [[Saturn]] and two [[Galactic Grunt]]s placed them in a room of the [[Solaceon Ruins]] to awaken the {{p|Unown}} there. These Plates were specifically the Draco Plate, Iron Plate, and Splash Plate, which power up the three types of {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}} ({{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Water}}) combined.
The Plates appeared again in ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where {{an|Arceus}} used them to change its type, and almost died when it lost the Plates after having destroyed a meteor.



==Trivia==
*While the presence of hidden Plates can be determined with the [[Pokétch]] application [[Pokétch#Dowsing Machine|Dowsing Machine]], their exact location is difficult to ascertain. The Plate's exact location must be touched on the Dowsing Machine in order for it to be revealed.

Type-enhancing item

2009-09-30T17:55:23Z

Akivalevi: /* Image:Bag Black Belt Sprite.png Black Belt */

A '''type-enhancing item''', when [[held item|held]], enhances the potency of attacks whose type corresponds to the item. In [[Generation IV]], these items boost attacks by 20%; in previous generations, they only boost attacks by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a {{type2|Water}} move, the power of the Water-type move will be increased by 20%.

If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay {{PDollar}}50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay {{PDollar}}4,900, and the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer {{PDollar}}5,000.

In [[Generation II]], several of these items can only be obtained from the [[Week Siblings]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[plate]]. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a Plate.
* Also in Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[plate]]. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a Plate.
* Also in Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.

Type-enhancing item

2009-09-30T17:50:03Z

Akivalevi: /* Image:Bag Black Belt Sprite.png Black Belt */

A '''type-enhancing item''', when [[held item|held]], enhances the potency of attacks whose type corresponds to the item. In [[Generation IV]], these items boost attacks by 20%; in previous generations, they only boost attacks by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a {{type2|Water}} move, the power of the Water-type move will be increased by 20%.

If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay {{PDollar}}50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay {{PDollar}}4,900, and the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer {{PDollar}}5,000.

In [[Generation II]], several of these items can only be obtained from the [[Week Siblings]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[plate]]. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a Plate.
* Also in Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.

Type-enhancing item

2009-09-30T17:49:49Z

Akivalevi: /* Image:Bag Black Belt Sprite.png Black Belt */

A '''type-enhancing item''', when [[held item|held]], enhances the potency of attacks whose type corresponds to the item. In [[Generation IV]], these items boost attacks by 20%; in previous generations, they only boost attacks by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a {{type2|Water}} move, the power of the Water-type move will be increased by 20%.

If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay {{PDollar}}50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay {{PDollar}}4,900, and the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer {{PDollar}}5,000.

In [[Generation II]], several of these items can only be obtained from the [[Week Siblings]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[plate]]. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as the Silk Scarf is not joined by a Plate.
* Also in Generation II, Charcoal was the only item available for purchase in a regular store, though for a steep price. In later Generations, type-enhancing items can still be purchased, but only from a Game Corner.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team''' and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team''' are a matched pair of [[Pokémon games]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]], respectively. These two games were developed by Chunsoft and were published by [[Nintendo]]. They were released in Japan on November 17, 2005, and were released in the U.S. on September 18, 2006.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon starts with the player as a human who is turned into a [[Pokémon]]. A series of questions at the start of the game determines what Pokémon the player becomes.

When the player first discovers that they are a Pokémon, they will first meet their partner who also happens to be a Pokémon. The journey begins with the player going out to find a lost {{p|Caterpie}}. Once this first quest is done, the journey begins in earnest.

All Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}} are available in this game; all may be battled and befriended as the player ventures across the land and into various dungeons.

The games have received adaptations in other formats through the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

The game has been successful enough to have two sequels. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness]] were released on the Nintendo DS in 2007/2008 and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|a third game to the pair]] was released in 2009.

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is an adaptation of the {{wp|Fushigi no Dungeon}} games for Pokémon. Like the main Pokémon RPGs, it has two gameplay modes; unlike the main RPGs, battle mode and dungeon mode are not distinct. It is a semi-turn-based game, with each step, attack, or item use being counted as a single turn.

The size of a party is limited to four in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, compared to six in the main RPGs; furthermore, players are only able to directly control one Pokémon: their own character (or, later in the game, any other befriended Pokémon). The player's teammates are essentially autonomous, with player control being limited to general strategy such as avoiding Pokémon battles or not moving and staying in one place.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main story===
* The player wakes up one day in the Pokémon world, as a human turned into a Pokémon.
* This world is suffering an imbalance in nature, with natural disasters occurring everywhere.
* The player and their partner form a rescue team after successfully rescuing {{p|Caterpie}}.
* Soon after, they rescue two {{p|Magnemite}}, one of which joins the team.
* [[Team Meanies]] steal the requests for help from the player's mailbox. The team rescues a {{p|Metapod}} who is stuck at [[Sinister Woods]].
* A {{p|Jumpluff}} is stuck at [[Silent Chasm]]. {{p|Shiftry}} is asked to go. The team goes down to rescue {{p|Shiftry}}.
* After {{p|Zapdos}} kidnaps {{p|Shiftry}}, the player must fight it at the top of Mt. Thunder.
* The player consults {{p|Xatu}} for an explanation of their presence in this world as a Pokémon at Great Canyon.
* The player learns of the legend of {{p|Ninetales}}: one day, a human angered a {{p|Ninetales}} and was cursed, however, his/her {{p|Gardevoir}} took the curse upon herself to save her master. However, the human selfishly deserts the cursed {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{p|Ninetales}} prophesises that the selfish human would be reborn as a Pokémon, and when that happens, the balance of nature in the world would collapse.
* {{p|Gengar}} convinces the Pokémon that the player is the selfish human in the legend of {{p|Ninetales}}, and they decide to run them out of town.
* To escape their pursuers the team pass through [[Lapis Cave]] and then [[Mt. Blaze]], where they encounter {{p|Moltres}}.
* The team enters Frosty Forest and is attacked by {{p|Articuno}}, who blames the player for bringing natural disasters to its forest. An {{p|Absol}} steps in and stops the fighting, then joins the rescue team.
* The player reaches Mt. Freeze and meets the {{p|Ninetales}} of the legend. The player discovers that while part of the legend is true, and the selfish human from the legend is alive, and it is not the player.
* The player returns to the town, and {{p|Gengar}} is discredited. Meanwhile [[Team A.C.T.]] goes to the Magma Caverns to defeat {{p|Groudon}}.
* {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} ask the player to go defeat the {{p|Mankey}} gang in the [[Uproar Forest]]. In return, they offer a peeled Chestnut, which is in turn used to convince the {{p|Mankey}} gang to help renovate the Rescue Team Base.
* Team A.C.T. is defeated, and a new team, comprised of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Octillery}} and {{p|Golem}}, is formed to go rescue them.
* The new team is also defeated. The player goes to Magma Cavern themselves to rescue Team A.C.T.
* After defeating {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Xatu}} announces that a falling star is headed towards the planet, and that it is the meteor that is causing the imbalance in nature.
* {{p|Gardevoir}} reveals to the player, in a dream, the true reason for his/her transformation: the player was destined to be the savior of the [[Pokémon world]]; the player decided to erase the memories of being a human in order to cleanse the heart and mind.
* The player goes to find {{p|Rayquaza}} in order to convince it to destroy the falling star.
* {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} destroys the meteorite. However, the player ends up in the netherworld in the aftermath of the explosion; {{p|Gengar}} helps them return to the Pokémon world.
* As the Pokémon celebrate the end of the calamities, the player says farewell and leaves to return to the human world.
* After the credits roll, the player decides to remain in the Pokémon world, and reappears at the rescue base.

===Epilogue===
* After talking to {{p|Lombre}} and {{p|Whiscash}}, the player goes to [[Stormy Sea]] and defeats {{p|Kyogre}}.
* After getting mail about a [[Buried Relic|new dungeon]], the player talks to Lombre. Then Shiftry will let the player go to Buried Relic.
* After getting HM Surf in the Solar Cave, {{p|Spinda}} walks into Pokémon Square and collapses. The player and their partner take him back to their rescue base.
* Spinda reveals he was looking for the mirage Pokémon, but doesn't know what it is. He gives the player the Clear Wing, then leaves and stays in Pokémon Square for a while.
* The player's partner suggests that they go and speak to Xatu.
* Upon reaching the top of the Great Canyon, Xatu reveals that the player must first go to the three fields and face the Lords of those areas (the [[Legendary beasts]]).
* After clearing the [[Fiery Field]] and defeating Entei, {{p|Entei}} turns the Clear Wing into the Red Wing.
* After clearing the [[Lightning Field]] and defeating Raikou, {{p|Raikou}} turns the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing.
* After clearing the [[Northwind Field]] and defeating Suicune, {{p|Suicune}} turns the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing, and [[Mt. Faraway]] is unlocked.
* Once the player clears Mt. Faraway and defeat the Mirage Pokémon, revealed to be {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the player can go back to the Fields and Mt. Faraway to recruit the legendary beasts and Ho-Oh (if their friend areas have been opened).
* If the player goes back to Pokémon Square and talk to Spinda, it will leave, encouraged to go exploring again.
* Medicham and Ekans go to the [[Wish Cave]] to try to grant wishes for themselves.
* Ekans is defeated and places a rescue request for Medicham, who is still stuck in the cave.
* After rescuing Medicham, the player is rewarded with the Wish Stone.
* Medicham and Ekans reveal that Gengar is trying to climb [[Mt. Freeze]].
* Gengar asks the player to escort him up Mt. Freeze.
* Gengar reveals himself to be the selfish human in the legend of Ninetales, and is the master of Gardevoir.
* Ninetales gives Gengar the Nine Tail Crest, and sends him to [[Murky Cave]].
* The player and Gengar go rescue {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gardevoir then offers to join the player's rescue team, but it has lost all its memory relating to Gengar.
* Once the player goes back and recruits Ho-Oh, a cutscene will be shown showing Blastoise and Charizard being KO'd by an incredibly strong Pokémon in [[Western Cave|an extremely tough dungeon.]]
* When the player goes through the dungeon, the Pokémon is revealed as {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* If the player has the friend area Cryptic Cave, Mewtwo will ask to join the player's rescue team second time through the dungeon if the player defeats Mewtwo.
* After recruiting all of the [[legendary birds]], the player talks to {{p|Alakazam}}. The player then goes to [[friend area|Legendary Island]] and [[legendary birds|Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres]] will grant access to [[Silver Trench]].
*After recruiting {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Xatu}} will appear outside the Team base. After that, Blastoise will come and say that he saw a cave and saw "{{p|Deoxys|weird things}}". Xatu will then name the place [[Meteor Cave]]. Then, the player will gain access to it. The player may recruit {{p|Deoxys}} in the Meteor Cave.

==Dungeon tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
*Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they are {{type2|Fire}}).
*Not all Pokémon are able to be directly recruited. Pokémon that cannot be are mostly final form Pokémon.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team''' and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team''' are a matched pair of [[Pokémon games]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]], respectively. These two games were developed by Chunsoft and were published by [[Nintendo]]. They were released in Japan on November 17, 2005, and were released in the U.S. on September 18, 2006.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon starts with the player as a human who is turned into a [[Pokémon]]. A series of questions at the start of the game determines what Pokémon the player becomes.

When the player first discovers that they are a Pokémon, they will first meet their partner who also happens to be a Pokémon. The journey begins with the player going out to find a lost {{p|Caterpie}}. Once this first quest is done, the journey begins in earnest.

All Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}} are available in this game; all may be battled and befriended as the player ventures across the land and into various dungeons.

The games have received adaptations in other formats through the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

The game has been successful enough to have two sequels. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness]] were released on the Nintendo DS in 2007/2008 and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|a third game to the pair]] was released in 2009.

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is an adaptation of the {{wp|Fushigi no Dungeon}} games for Pokémon. Like the main Pokémon RPGs, it has two gameplay modes; unlike the main RPGs, battle mode and dungeon mode are not distinct. It is a semi-turn-based game, with each step, attack, or item use being counted as a single turn.

The size of a party is limited to four in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, compared to six in the main RPGs; furthermore, players are only able to directly control one Pokémon: their own character (or, later in the game, any other befriended Pokémon). The player's teammates are essentially autonomous, with player control being limited to general strategy such as avoiding Pokémon battles or not moving and staying in one place.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main story===
* The player wakes up one day in the Pokémon world, as a human turned into a Pokémon.
* This world is suffering an imbalance in nature, with natural disasters occurring everywhere.
* The player and their partner form a rescue team after successfully rescuing {{p|Caterpie}}.
* Soon after, they rescue two {{p|Magnemite}}, one of which joins the team.
* [[Team Meanies]] steal the requests for help from the player's mailbox. The team rescues a {{p|Metapod}} who is stuck at [[Sinister Woods]].
* A {{p|Jumpluff}} is stuck at [[Silent Chasm]]. {{p|Shiftry}} is asked to go. The team goes down to rescue {{p|Shiftry}}.
* After {{p|Zapdos}} kidnaps {{p|Shiftry}}, the player must fight it at the top of Mt. Thunder.
* The player consults {{p|Xatu}} for an explanation of their presence in this world as a Pokémon at Great Canyon.
* The player learns of the legend of {{p|Ninetales}}: one day, a human angered a {{p|Ninetales}} and was cursed, however, his/her {{p|Gardevoir}} took the curse upon herself to save her master. However, the human selfishly deserts the cursed {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{p|Ninetales}} prophesises that the selfish human would be reborn as a Pokémon, and when that happens, the balance of nature in the world would collapse.
* {{p|Gengar}} convinces the Pokémon that the player is the selfish human in the legend of {{p|Ninetales}}, and they decide to run them out of town.
* To escape their pursuers the team pass through [[Lapis Cave]] and then [[Mt. Blaze]], where they encounter {{p|Moltres}}.
* The team enters Frosty Forest and is attacked by {{p|Articuno}}, who blames the player for bringing natural disasters to its forest. An {{p|Absol}} steps in and stops the fighting, then joins the rescue team.
* The player reaches Mt. Freeze and meets the {{p|Ninetales}} of the legend. The player discovers that while part of the legend is true, and the selfish human from the legend is alive, and it is not the player.
* The player returns to the town, and {{p|Gengar}} is discredited. Meanwhile [[Team A.C.T.]] goes to the Magma Caverns to defeat {{p|Groudon}}.
* {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} ask the player to go defeat the {{p|Mankey}} gang in the [[Uproar Forest]]. In return, they offer a peeled Chestnut, which is in turn used to convince the {{p|Mankey}} gang to help renovate the Rescue Team Base.
* Team A.C.T. is defeated, and a new team, comprised of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Octillery}} and {{p|Golem}}, is formed to go rescue them.
* The new team is also defeated. The player goes to Magma Cavern themselves to rescue Team A.C.T.
* After defeating {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Xatu}} announces that a falling star is headed towards the planet, and that it is the meteor that is causing the imbalance in nature.
* {{p|Gardevoir}} reveals to the player, in a dream, the true reason for his/her transformation: the player was destined to be the savior of the [[Pokémon world]]; the player decided to erase the memories of being a human in order to cleanse the heart and mind.
* The player goes to find {{p|Rayquaza}} in order to convince it to destroy the falling star.
* {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} destroys the meteorite. However, the player ends up in the netherworld in the aftermath of the explosion; {{p|Gengar}} helps them return to the Pokémon world.
* As the Pokémon celebrate the end of the calamities, the player says farewell and leaves to return to the human world.
* After the credits roll, the player decides to remain in the Pokémon world, and reappears at the rescue base.

===Epilogue===
* After talking to {{p|Lombre}} and {{p|Whiscash}}, the player goes to [[Stormy Sea]] and defeats {{p|Kyogre}}.
* After getting mail about a [[Buried Relic|new dungeon]], the player talks to Lombre. Then Shiftry will let the player go to Buried Relic.
* After getting HM Surf in the Solar Cave, {{p|Spinda}} walks into Pokémon Square and collapses. The player and their partner take him back to their rescue base.
* Spinda reveals he was looking for the mirage Pokémon, but doesn't know what it is. He gives the player the Clear Wing, then leaves and stays in Pokémon Square for a while.
* The player's partner suggests that they go and speak to Xatu.
* Upon reaching the top of the Great Canyon, Xatu reveals that the player must first go to the three fields and face the Lords of those areas (the [[Legendary beasts]]).
* After clearing the [[Fiery Field]] and defeating Entei, {{p|Entei}} turns the Clear Wing into the Red Wing.
* After clearing the [[Lightning Field]] and defeating Raikou, {{p|Raikou}} turns the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing.
* After clearing the [[Northwind Field]] and defeating Suicune, {{p|Suicune}} turns the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing, and [[Mt. Faraway]] is unlocked.
* Once the player clears Mt. Faraway and defeat the Mirage Pokémon, revealed to be {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the player can go back to the Fields and Mt. Faraway to recruit the legendary beasts and Ho-Oh (if their friend areas have been opened).
* If the player goes back to Pokémon Square and talk to Spinda, it will leave, encouraged to go exploring again.
* Medicham and Ekans go to the [[Wish Cave]] to try to grant wishes for themselves.
* Ekans is defeated and places a rescue request for Medicham, who is still stuck in the cave.
* After rescuing Medicham, the player is rewarded with the Wish Stone.
* Medicham and Ekans reveal that Gengar is trying to climb [[Mt. Freeze]].
* Gengar asks the player to escort him up Mt. Freeze.
* Gengar reveals himself to be the selfish human in the legend of Ninetales, and is the master of Gardevoir.
* Ninetales gives Gengar the Nine Tail Crest, and sends him to [[Murky Cave]].
* The player and Gengar go rescue {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gardevoir then offers to join the player's rescue team, but it has lost all its memory relating to Gengar.
* Once the player goes back and recruits Ho-Oh, a cutscene will be shown showing Blastoise and Charizard being KO'd by an incredibly strong Pokémon in [[Western Cave|an extremely tough dungeon.]]
* When the player goes through the dungeon, the Pokémon is revealed as {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* If the player has the friend area Cryptic Cave, Mewtwo will ask to join the player's rescue team second time through the dungeon if the player defeats Mewtwo.
* After recruiting all of the [[legendary birds]], the player talks to {{p|Alakazam}}. The player then goes to [[friend area|Legendary Island]] and [[legendary birds|Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres]] will grant access to [[Silver Trench]].
*After recruiting {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Xatu}} will appear outside the Team base. After that, Blastoise will come and say that he saw a cave and saw "{{p|Deoxys|weird things}}". Xatu will then name the place [[Meteor Cave]]. Then, the player will gain access to it. The player may recruit {{p|Deoxys}} in the Meteor Cave.

==Dungeon tips==
*If the player remains on one floor of a dungeon for too long, this will happen:
**It will say "Something is stirring".
**It will say "Something is approaching".
**It will say "It's coming closer."
**It will say "It's right near! It's gusting hard!" Then the player's character will faint.
*Pokémon with the Float terrain ability who try to cross magma will get burned (unless they are {{type2|Fire}}).
*Not all Pokémon are able to be directly recruited. Pokémon that cannot be are mostly final form Pokémon.

===Physiology===
Ponyta's physiology is similar to that of a horse. However, its mane and tail are made of flame rather than the usual hair. Its fur is cream all over. It is capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. In order to withstand the force of landing, its hooves are ten times harder than diamond.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ponyta's [[ability]], {{a|Flash Fire}}, causes it to power up if it is hit by a {{type2|Fire}} move, and causes the move to have no effect.

===Behavior===

==Trivia==
*In Ponyta's [[Generation II]] {{shiny2}} sprite, its flames have a black shadow over the red flames, whereas in later Generations they are blue.
*Ponyta is able to learn the move {{m|Horn Drill}} via breeding despite it lacking an apparent horn. Its evolution, {{p|Rapidash}}, has a horn, however.
*Ponyta and Rapidash are the only {{type2|Fire}}s in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number#Diamond and Pearl edition|original Sinnoh Dex]] besides the region's [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Monferno}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. This is especially apparent when facing [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]], whose only Fire-type Pokémon are Rapidash and Infernape. More Fire-types were added in [[Sinnoh_Dex#Platinum_expansion|the Platinum expansion]].
*In August of 2007, employees of Game Freak put [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2007#Jun Psyduck, GTS, August 19-30, 2007|Japanese Psyduck]] up on [[Global Trade Station]] for American Ponyta.
*Ponyta is one of fourteen Pokémon that it is possible to collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

===Origin===
It would seem that Ponyta, along with its evolution Rapidash, are based on Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon, the "fiery steeds" that carried the Greek God Helios's Chariot of the Sun around the world each day. In jewish history Elijah rode on firey horeses
====Name origin====
Ponyta's name is derived from ''{{wp|pony}}''. It may also be partly based on the Spanish word "bonita", meaning "beautiful". It could also be a shortened form of the word ''ponytail''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ponita
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ponyta
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 포니타 ''Ponita''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 小火馬 - Literally "little fire horse".

The opening paragraph should then continue to give any basic information about the character, including their voice actor in the English and Japanese versions.

The second paragraph should give a detailed description, including their personality and any information that is provided in the episode. This should be taken from the perspective of their situation at the start of the episode.

The third paragraph should give a brief description of their role in the episode including any character development undergone.

After the text, a list of the character's Pokémon should be added where appropriate:
<nowiki>==Pokémon==
* {{p|(Pokémon)}}</nowiki>

Don't forget to categorise any new pages:
<nowiki>[[Category:Characters of the day]]</nowiki>
If the character has a surname, categorise it as such:
<nowiki>[[Category:Characters of the day|(Surname), (Other names)]]</nowiki>

===Goals===
# Identify characters deserving of articles on Bulbapedia.
# Create articles on each character.
# Ensure the project's standards are in place on each article.

===Infoboxes===

Infoboxes are not to be used on COD articles.

===Other templates===
* {{Template|Project COD notice}} - To be used at the bottom of each character of the day article.

'''Ponyta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポニータ''' ''Ponyta'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Rapidash}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ponyta's physiology is similar to that of a horse. However, its mane and tail are made of flame rather than the usual hair. Its fur is cream all over. It is capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. In order to withstand the force of landing, its hooves are ten times harder than diamond.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ponyta's [[ability]], {{a|Flash Fire}}, causes it to power up if it is hit by a {{type2|Fire}} move, and causes the move to have no effect.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

Ponyta was also a member of [[Stella]]'s circus in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.

In ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', [[Santa Claus]] had Ponyta to pull his sleigh at a time before {{p|Stantler}} was introduced.

[[Wings Alexander]] had two Ponyta in ''[[EP223|Throwing in the Noctowl]]''.

Little [[Nurse Joy|Joy]] owned a Ponyta in ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]''.

===Sprites===
{{Sprite|

name=Ponyta|
}}

==Trivia==
*In Ponyta's [[Generation II]] {{shiny2}} sprite, its flames have a black shadow over the red flames, whereas in later Generations they are blue.
*Ponyta is able to learn the move {{m|Horn Drill}} via breeding despite it lacking an apparent horn. Its evolution, {{p|Rapidash}}, has a horn, however.
*Ponyta and Rapidash are the only {{type2|Fire}}s in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number#Diamond and Pearl edition|original Sinnoh Dex]] besides the region's [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Monferno}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. This is especially apparent when facing [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]], whose only Fire-type Pokémon are Rapidash and Infernape. More Fire-types were added in [[Sinnoh_Dex#Platinum_expansion|the Platinum expansion]].
*In August of 2007, employees of Game Freak put [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon in 2007#Jun Psyduck, GTS, August 19-30, 2007|Japanese Psyduck]] up on [[Global Trade Station]] for American Ponyta.
*Ponyta is one of fourteen Pokémon that it is possible to collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

===Origin===
It would seem that Ponyta, along with its evolution Rapidash, are based on Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon, the "fiery steeds" that carried the Greek God Helios's Chariot of the Sun around the world each day. In Jewish history Elijah rode on a fiery horse.
====Name origin====
Ponyta's name is derived from ''{{wp|pony}}''. It may also be partly based on the Spanish word "bonita", meaning "beautiful". It could also be a shortened form of the word ''ponytail''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ponita
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ponyta
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 포니타 ''Ponita''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 小火馬 - Literally "little fire horse".

Bulbapedia:Project Custom Sprite

2009-03-19T23:01:01Z

Akivalevi: /* Participants */

<div class="usermessage" width="100%" align="center">Upload sprites somewhere else and display it on [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Custom Sprite|talk page]] before uploading them to the Archives.</div>
{{Project leader|{{u|Tavisource}}}}
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better represent unique characters in the Pokémon anime and games by creating custom sprites of the said Pokémon. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list|to-do list]].

==Project Custom Sprite==
Project Custom Sprite promotes the idea to conserve an organized system for the custom sprites we use on Bulbapedia.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* '''{{u|Tavisource}}''' - {{bp|Project Leaders|Project Leader}} and Founder

===Structure===
*'''All sprites must be used on the encyclopedia.'''
*Sprites should represent the Pokémon's regular character design or at least a significant aspect of its character. There is usually not a need for sprites of rarely worn costumes.
*Sprites should be edited versions of the official Pokémon sprites from the current generation of games.
*All sprites must have the correct dimensions. (80x80 pixels)
*All sprites must have a transparent background.
*After completing a sprite on the list, please delete it so that others won't re-do them.
*Ideas that seem to be unnecessary could be stroked-out. (Use these to strike out ideas: <nowiki><strike> </strike></nowiki>.) All stroked-out ideas must include an explanation placed besides the stroked-out idea.
*When uploading a new sprite, [[a:Category:Custom sprites|categorise it on the Archives]] and then add it to [[Bulbapedia:Project Custom Sprite/To-do list|this page]] along with its intended location on the mainspace.
*All sprites should have the artist's name visible on the image page and hidden on the project page. (Use these to write invisible text: <nowiki></nowiki>.) However, edits on the mainspace should not be signed.
*Spriters, if you decide to update a sprite, please replace the old one rather than uploading it to a new filename. This is so that the links to it don't have to be changed accordingly and to help prevent excess unused images on the Archives.
*If you feel a sprite is not good enough, consult the sprite's creator; do not overwrite their picture. If controversy takes place, discuss it on this page's talk page rather than engaging in a revert war.
*Most importantly, do NOT argue over sprites! Always contribute adequately according to what is best for EVERYONE.

===Goals===
* To complete all necessary alternate sprites and minisprites for all the unique Pokémon presented in the anime.

===Templates===

* {{Template|User Project Custom Sprite}} -- for project participants to place in their user profile.

{{User Custom Sprite}}

===History===
Custom sprites had caused many ups and downs to Bulbapedia. When this first started, it was not organized as a project, it was just something done for the sake of it. So one day, some people had gone against the sprites and declared that they did not like it. So in defense, some users defended the sprites, but used the wrong method, and instead, started a rebellion to force others in liking the sprites. It was later discovered that it was just one, big misunderstanding. So in result of this, {{u|Tavisource}} started the Custom Sprites Project to organize the making of the custom sprites. He had this project held under his user space. But when more people came and the page got too popular, the page was forced to move to a Bulbapedia project page. Things went smoothly from then on, until in October of 2008 when he went to the forums to ask about people's views on a certain sprite. At the end, the discussion turned out to be an argument about liking the sprites or not. The people who defended them used every method they could. And for the people against it, their reasons was that they were causing too much trouble. Seeing much trouble with the discussion itself, {{u|Tavisource}} and {{u|Kenji-girl}} closed the discussion with a compromise to settle the two sides. So then on, things went smoothly and more people came and joined the project. Now, the project has caught up with the current anime showings. As for the people who went against the sprites, most of them returned to apologize and admit their mistake. Now knowing that this problem had ended well, we still try to keep this issue down and ever from rising once again. As for the people who were for the sprites, they had not been on Bulbapedia lately to witness the growth of the custom sprite project. Many just hope that this project will come to a success and be included in the completion of Bulbapedia, one day.
====Avatar====
Some of you might be wondering why we use {{AP|Squirtle}} as our avatar. The answer is simple. Squirtle was the sprite that motivated this project in the first place, as well as the very first sprite that was worked on. It's that simple!

Bulbapedia:Project Music

2009-03-19T22:55:46Z

Akivalevi: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project Music logo.gif|right]]Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about '''music'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the {{red link|Bulbapedia:Project Music/To-do list}}.

==Project Music==
===Scope and aims===
Project Music covers all music-related articles. This include articles about songs, CDs and musicians.



===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* [[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]]
* [[User:CoolPikachu!|CoolPikachu!]]

* {{u|Akivalevi}}

===Structure===
====Article models====
=====Song articles=====
If the article is about an [[:Category:Opening themes|opening]]\[[:Category:Ending themes|ending]] theme of the {{pkmn|anime}}, then the article should start with the [[Template:EpicodePrevNextSpecial]] bar. Next is the song infobox (see below).

After these templates, an opening paragraph should follow, giving all basic information about the song, including the CD(s) it can be found on, in what episodes\movies it was used, etc.

If the song was used as an opening\ending theme in the anime, the next section should be '''Characters''', divided to ''Human'' and ''Pokémon''.

Other sections that should follow if relevant, in this order, are '''Lyrics''', '''Credits''', '''Trivia''', '''External links''' (including a link to a good-quality YouTube clip) and navigation templates. If the [[Template:EpicodePrevNextSpecial]] bar was used in the begining of the article, it should now be copied here as well. Last comes the project notice and (of course) the categorization.

=====CD articles=====

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon Trading Cards'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum].

==Project TCGdex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project TCGDex''' covers all entries and articles about every Pokémon cards, Trainer cards and Energy Cards from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon Trading Cards, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:
:A name in italics is for an active admin; a name in bold is for an active user. Also, active users who know a lot about the project are at the top under the founder.
* '''{{U|Plau}}''' - Founder; return from the dead, quite a few old cards. Adding anything that's missing.
* '''''{{U|Maverick Nate}}''''' - Various things that will hopefully get done soon. {{bp|Project Leaders|Project Leader}}.
* '''''{{U|Cipher}}''''' - Preparing articles for the release of {{TCG|Bonds to the End of Time}} in May 2009. PUI caught me out with Platinum.
* ''{{U|shiningpikablu252}}'' - Working on various odds and ends. Will hopefully work on card articles for future English sets when the time comes. Also does some of TTEchidna's dirty work. Given that most of my physical card collection consists of cards whose articles already have images, you won't be seeing many images from me...
* ''{{U|Politoed666}}'' - Working on occasional needed scans, occasionally writing articles.
* ''{{U|TTEchidna}}'' - Making sure everything runs smoothly.
* ''{{U|Kogoro}}'' - Tons of cards from {{TCG|Base Set}} to {{TCG|Stormfront}}, planning to scan as many as possible!
* '''{{U|JessTehSkox}}''' - Been working on a lot of older card articles....mostly the Origins sections, since it seemed odd to have such a section on all the TCG articles that's completely empty on 95% of them!
* '''{{U|Ultamatecharizard}}''' - I got a big drawer of cards and I'll help out little by little.
* {{U|Jason}}

===Structure===

===Goals===
# Create Pokémon Trading Card pages. The [[Dark Metal Energy (TCG)]] and [[Charizard (Base Set 4)]] page are good examples.

===Infoboxes===
* {{Template|PokémoncardInfobox}}
** {{Template|PokémoncardInfobox/Expansion}}
** {{Template|PokémoncardInfobox/Footer}}

* {{Template|TrainercardInfobox}}
** {{Template|TrainercardInfobox/ReleaseInfo}}
** {{Template|TrainercardInfobox/Expansion}}
** {{Template|TrainercardInfobox/Footer}}

* {{Template|EnergyCardInfobox}}
** {{Template|EnergyCardInfobox/Expansion}}
** {{Template|EnergyCardInfobox/Footer}}

===Other templates===
* {{Template|Project TCG notice}} - to be used at the bottom of every Pokémon article.
{{Project TCGDex notice}}

* {{Template|User Project TCGDex}} - for project participants to place in their user profile.
{{User Project TCGDex}}
 

====Link templates====
These link templates are particularly useful for making lists of the cards available in the different sets or theme decks.
* {{Template|TCG}} - This link template is for cards which appear widely in the game, such as energy cards. To use this link template, type in <nowiki>{{TCG|Card Name}}</nowiki>. For example, <nowiki>{{TCG|Dark Metal Energy}}</nowiki> would result in {{TCG|Dark Metal Energy}}.
* {{Template|TCG ID}} - This link template is for cards which appear in only certain sets, such as Pokémon cards and trainer cards. To use this link template, type in <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Set Name|Card Name|Number}}</nowiki>. For example, <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}</nowiki> would result in {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}}.
* {{Template|ct}} - This link template is to link to the TCG types, much like the {{template|type2}} template links to types from the handheld games.

[[Image:Kyogreanime.jpg|thumb|right|Kyogre in the anime]]
Kyogre's first appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Magma planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who have captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen.

The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

Kyogre showed up in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' just in time for the final showdown against [[The Phantom]].

A Kyogre makes a cameo in the introduction of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==In the manga==
Kyogre's first appearance was in VS. Kyogre & Groudon. It was awakened by Team Aqua so the waters will be expanded. Wattson, Flannery and Winona tried to stop it but failed due to Team Aqua's interference.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Kyogre opens its mouth and squirts out {{m|Hydro Pump|a stream of water}}. The water is non-damaging, but causes characters to be knocked back with extreme force. Touching Kyogre's body will do damage. Kyogre also appears as a trophy.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Kyogre is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Sapphire Field]]. Kyogre will first use {{m|Sheer Cold}} to freeze the ball in place. It will then create {{m|whirlpool}}s to trap the ball further. Finally, it will {{m|dive}} into the water to evade being hit completely. However, air bubbles will appear where it is about to rise out of the water. Kyogre must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Kyogre will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Kyogre is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Aqua-Monica]].

==Trivia==
* [[Palace Maven Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it, and [[Sir Aaron|Sir Aaron's]] gloves also have similar markings.
* Kyogre and its counterpart, {{p|Groudon}}, are the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Kyogre is shown flying in the [[Legends Awakened (TCG)|Diamond & Pearl: Legends Awakened]] commercial and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* Kyogre is the only non {{type2|Ice}} to naturally learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}.
===Origin===
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the {{wp|leviathan}}, the gigantic primeval master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile- or serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the {{wp|behemoth}}. Kyogre's appearance draws inspiration from various {{wp|whales}}, but it closely resembles an ''{{wp|orca}}''.
====Name origin====
Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 ''kai'', ocean, and ''{{wp|orca}}'', a species of dolphin. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ''ogre'', which are mythological land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, ''Kyogre'' spells out 海王 ''kaiō'', which means ''King of the Sea''. It is also worth noting that 海王 is the first two characters in 海王星 ''Kaiōsei'', {{wp|Neptune (mythology)|Neptune}}.

==Trivia==
* [[Palace Maven Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it, and [[Sir Aaron|Sir Aaron's]] gloves also have similar markings.
* Kyogre and its counterpart, {{p|Groudon}}, are the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Kyogre is shown flying in the [[Legends Awakened (TCG)|Diamond & Pearl: Legends Awakened]] commercial and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* Kyogre is the only non {{type2|Ice}} to naturally learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}.
===Origin===
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the {{wp|leviathan}}, the gigantic primeval master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile- or serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the {{wp|behemoth}}. Kyogre's appearance draws inspiration from various {{wp|whales}}, but it closely resembles an ''{{wp|orca}}''.
====Name origin====
Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 ''kai'', ocean, and ''{{wp|orca}}'', a species of dolphin. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ''ogre'', which are mythological land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, ''Kyogre'' spells out 海王 ''kaiō'', which means ''King of the Sea''. It is also worth noting that 海王 is the first two characters in 海王星 ''Kaiōsei'', {{wp|Neptune (mythology)|Neptune}}.

==Trivia==
* [[Palace Maven Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it, and [[Sir Aaron|Sir Aaron's]] gloves also have similar markings.
* Kyogre and its counterpart, {{p|Groudon}}, are the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Kyogre is shown flying in the [[Legends Awakened (TCG)|Diamond & Pearl: Legends Awakened]] commercial and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* Kyogre is the only non {{type2|Ice}} to naturally learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}.
===Origin===
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the {{wp|leviathan}}, the gigantic primeval master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile- or serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the {{wp|behemoth}}. Kyogre's appearance draws inspiration from various {{wp|whales}}, but it closely resembles an ''{{wp|orca}}''.
====Name origin====
Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 ''kai'', ocean, and ''{{wp|orca}}'', a species of dolphin. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ''ogre'', which are mythological land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, ''Kyogre'' spells out 海王 ''kaiō'', which means ''King of the Sea''. It is also worth noting that 海王 is the first two characters in 海王星 ''Kaiōsei'', {{wp|Neptune (mythology)|Neptune}}.

Kyogre is the version mascot of Pokémon Sapphire, appearing on the boxart.

[[Image:Kyogreanime.jpg|thumb|right|Kyogre in the anime]]
Kyogre's first appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Magma planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who have captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen.

The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

Kyogre showed up in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' just in time for the final showdown against [[The Phantom]].

A Kyogre makes a cameo in the introduction of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==In the manga==
Kyogre's first appearance was in VS. Kyogre & Groudon. It was awakened by Team Aqua so the waters will be expanded. Wattson, Flannery and Winona tried to stop it but failed due to Team Aqua's interference.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Kyogre opens its mouth and squirts out {{m|Hydro Pump|a stream of water}}. The water is non-damaging, but causes characters to be knocked back with extreme force. Touching Kyogre's body will do damage. Kyogre also appears as a trophy.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Kyogre is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Sapphire Field]]. Kyogre will first use {{m|Sheer Cold}} to freeze the ball in place.

However, air bubbles will appear where it is about to rise out of the water. Kyogre must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Kyogre will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Kyogre is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Aqua-Monica]].

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the heirarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be inlcuded in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|DP]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area. If it is a [[Shadow Pokémon]] found in Colosseum or XD, put <nowiki>[[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]]</nowiki> in parentheses after the area.

Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

Bulbapedia:Project Moves and Abilities

2009-03-18T22:53:38Z

Akivalevi: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project MoveDex logo.png|right]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about '''moves'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the {{red link|Bulbapedia:Project MoveDex/To-do list}}.

==Project MoveDex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Movedex''' covers all articles about moves, also known as "techniques" or "skills", that presently exist in the Pokémon universe. It encompasses all moves that exist in the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games plus any moves which are otherwise defined as legitimate outside of the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games. It does not, however, define moves that exist in the Trading Card Game, in the Anime alone, or in any other offshoots of the main franchise.

Poké Ball

2009-03-18T01:59:49Z

Akivalevi: /* In the games */

{{Featured}}
[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|thumb|right|A Poké Ball as seen in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] critical in any {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest. It is used for [[Captured Pokémon|capturing]] and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a {{pkmn|Trainer}} may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as they desire. However, a Trainer may only carry up to 6 [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a Trainer owns more than 6 Pokémon, they may be stored in [[Bill's PC|a Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any {{g|Center}}. There are 4 different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.

A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.

A Poké Ball also limits the strength of the Pokémon inside it.
==Mechanics==
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime.]]
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a {{pkmn|battle}}, once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the Trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the Trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be [[Captured Pokémon|captured]].

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.
[[Image:PokeballWrong.PNG|thumb|left|Common misspelling, "Pokéball", seen in an official Pokémon [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EB7Jhv8mS8 promotional video].]]
Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A Trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he or she can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and they will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a Trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and point it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. If this beam hits a person for any reason, that person will be momentarily stunned. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will, several examples being [[Jessie's Seviper]] (only when {{p|Zangoose}} are involved), [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[May's Skitty]], and more famously, [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[Brock's Croagunk]]. Also, if a Pokémon is being sent out, but does not wish to exit its Poké Ball, when the flash of light emerges from the Poké Ball, it will make a u-turn back to the open ball, turn red, and re-enter the Poké Ball. This happened in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', when [[Gary Oak]] attempted to send out several unnamed Pokémon to battle the wild {{p|Diglett}}. It also happened when {{Ash}} attempted to send out his {{AP|Squirtle}} (though before he threw the ball, {{AP|Pikachu}} yelled something to Squirtle), and when numerous Trainers attempted to send out their Pokémon.
[[Image:Chimchar release.jpg|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar}}.|thumb]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a miniature size, about the same size as a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.

Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the Trainer has on-hand. If the Trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the {{g|storage system}} they are using. They also have the ability to "mark" their captures - as shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', when Dawn attempts to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]] - so that they cannot be captured by other Poké Balls after captures. This has shown some inconsistency in the series, particularly in older episodes such as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'' when Jessie throws a Poké Ball at [[Otoshi]]'s Doduo which has to be reflected by Otoshi himself, like in the games.

When a Pokémon is released from its ball, it usually has a burst of light come out with it, which varies depending on the Ball the Pokémon is contained in (normally a white light in the anime).
[[Image:RealeasingPokemon.png|thumb|Sending out a Pokémon in [[Pokémon LeafGreen]].]]
However, when a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s are used, visual effects will accompany the Pokémon's release. It has also been shown that if a Pokémon is sent out with a blue light, that Pokémon will be released and will be able to go back into the wild (In the anime, one can also break the Poké Ball, like in the cases of [[Brock]] and [[Jessie]], while releasing {{p|Ninetales}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} respectively.)

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Poké Balls obviously do not always succeed in capturing the Pokémon (except where Master Balls are concerned), but in some cases, it's possible for a Poké Ball to not even come into contact with the wild Pokémon.

*In [[Generation I]], there was a chance that a Poké Ball could miss the target, the message coming up "You missed the Pokémon!". This usually happens within the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] or while battling {{p|Snorlax}} or a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
*In {{g|Tower}}, the [[Literal ghost|ghosts]] would dodge any thrown ball, as would the ghost of the {{p|Marowak}} (even after being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]).
*In [[Generation IV]], if in a [[double battle]] with two wild Pokémon and one of the five partners, the player needs to knock out one of the Pokémon before attempting to capture the other. If not, the game does not allow either to be captured, with the message of "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" This is a contradiction to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which it is possible to snag a Pokémon even when there are two on the opponent's side of the field, although it's possible that the abilities of the [[Snag Machine]] somehow negated this issue.

These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.

The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[Poké Spot]]s, however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.

The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found normally in each game (though it can be won in all other generations after the first; it is the grand prize for the [[Lucky Channel|Lucky Number show]], [[Lilycove Department Store|Lilycove City's Lottery]], and at [[Jubilife TV]], respectively). It could be sold for {{PDollar}}0 in Generations I and II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.

The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
 

=====Super Smash Bros. Series=====
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon.

======[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information======
These balls are used to capture and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be captured, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. Master Balls are the strongest type.

====In the anime====
[[Image:Masterballanime.jpg|right|thumb|[[Sullivan]]'s Master Ball.]]
Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades are very rare or even non-existent.

A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole and escaped back into the water. However, much time prior, a Master Ball sort of appeared, albeit as a beach ball in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', and after in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

Safari Balls were seen in [[EP035]]. In this episode, {{Ash}} received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]'', however in all subsequent airings they have been in regular Poké Balls.

[[Image:Rice Ball Poké Ball.jpg|right|thumb|A riceball inside Ash's Poké Ball.]]
Occasionally, an [[item]] will be caught instead of a [[Pokémon]], such as a [[rice ball]] or something else that would be smaller than the Poké Ball. The greatest example, if not the only, is when {{Ash}} tried catching [[Ash's Primeape|Mankey]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. These, however, are just jokes. For example, in a commercial for [[Kids' WB!]], Ash caught a talking sock singing that Ash couldn't catch him.

If a Poké Ball is used to try to capture a human, the human will get shocked with electricity instead of being captured.

Named in ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', the Poké Ball a Pokémon is temporarily held in before being given to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s is called a "starter Poké Ball". In the anime only, a Pokémon is held in one of these temporary containments which do not 'mark' the Pokémon, so it can then be assigned to one of the six regular Poké Balls given to the trainer. Starter Poké Balls look identical to regular Poké Balls, but are occasionally marked with some form of identification, such as a lightning-bolt or writing, such as the one which held [[Ash's Pikachu]]. In the games, however, the player is simply given 5 Poké Balls plus the Pokémon, already assigned a ball.

|}
 
The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Twenty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all thirty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.

Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.
 

====In the anime====
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Casey}} compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, but gives it to Casey instead.

The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture [[Brock's Forretress|a Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.

====In [[Pokémon Special]]====
Both {{Special|Gold}} and {{Special|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. Kurt says that the Poké Balls would work only where its life energy is most concentrated.

All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

In this generation, the type of Ball used to capture a Pokémon was kept track of by the game itself, so that when Trainers sent out their Pokémon, the type of effect could vary. In this way, two Balls with the same effectiveness, such as the Safari Ball and Great Ball, or Poké Ball and Premier Ball, would differ.

In Generation III, the Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball; however, it is available for normal purchase in Generation IV. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning {{g|Contests}}. It is also given by [[Selphy|Lady Selphy]] for showing her the Pokémon she asks for. Taking advantage of being able to track what kind of Ball a Pokémon is in, rather than applying a flat happiness bonus like the Friend Ball did, it heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.

The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten or more Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] Poké Marts. However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.

The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{type2|Water}}. It can also be obtained from the Fishing Guru's younger brother in [[Silence Bridge]] after showing him a {{p|Magikarp}}.

The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].

The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after going through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] from [[Verdanturf Town]] for the first time, or from [[Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island Market Stall]] after saving [[Lostelle]], beating the {{Ka|Elite Four}}, buying every item in the stall at least once and then leaving and returning to the area.

All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.
 

====In the anime====
The Luxury Ball and the Repeat Ball made a short cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', containing {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Shiftry}}.

===[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls===
====In the games====
Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.

All of the Generation I and Generation III Poké Balls are also available, though the Dive Ball can only be obtained randomly through the man in [[Solaceon Town]] upon showing him the Pokémon he asks for, or transferred ahead held by a Pokémon through [[Pal Park]]. This is due to a lack of use for it in Sinnoh. The Park Ball is colored [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|gold and silver]], with a [[Pokémon Crystal|light blue]] center, and is a temporary containment used for show. It is the only Poké Ball (aside from the [[Snag Ball]]) with the ability to override another Poké Ball's "mark" on a Pokémon. After capture, the Pokémon is put into the Poké Ball it was captured in. Whether the Park Ball would work on a regular [[wild Pokémon]] not already captured is not known.

Cherish Balls cannot be acquired for use without [[cheating]]; instead, they contain Pokémon distributed at [[event]]s.

Luxury Balls function differently in this generation: they can be bought, and the factor the happiness is increased by varies with the event. For detail, see [[Happiness#Generation IV|this page]].
 

===In the manga===
[[Image:Seadraspe.PNG|thumb|right|{{Special|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in {{g|Special}}.]]
[[Image:Pkballdengeki.PNG|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].]]
In {{g|Special}} manga, one can see the miniature of the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball; the type of ball doesn't matter. Already captured Pokémon can be re-captured, as shown when Red re-catches Misty's Gyarados.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, however, the center of a Poké Ball has a small number to differentiate it from others.
In one chapter of this series, Ash suggests to have a large Poké Ball built as a trap to capture a giant Haunter (Black Fog). The plan succeeded, but Haunter used Explosion from inside, destroying the trap in the process.

==Other Poké Balls==
These Poké Balls are found outside of the standard games. They are often too unusual to fit in with other groups of Poké Balls, and some are so unusual that it is questionable if they even qualify as Poké Balls. Most of these have separate articles, which describe their unique properties in greater detail.

===In the games===
; [[Pester Ball]]s
: Seen in {{g|Snap}}, this unusual Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it releases an irritating gas.

; [[GS Ball]]
: Seen in {{g|Crystal Version}}, this Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it is a special item that can be used to make {{p|Celebi}} appear in the [[Ilex Forest]].

; [[Snag Ball]]s
: Though not a Poké Ball in its own right, this is seen in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. It is a ball that has been modified using the [[Snag Machine]]. It is capable of [[snagging]] a [[captured Pokémon]] during a {{g|battle}} as if it were wild.

===In the anime===
; Pre-Poké Ball Objects
: There are multiple artifacts and antiques which have similar properties to modern Poké Balls but are not technically the same thing - some, in fact, are not even balls. These range from unusual artifacts found in the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] which contain [[Giant Pokémon]] inside (seen in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'') to antique Poké Balls which look similar to their modern-day equivalents but have an altered design and are made from a more fragile material (seen in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]''). Given that these were made before the development of the technology used in modern Poké Balls, the workings behind these objects are a mystery. Another early Poké Ball design is seen in {{g|4Ever}} when [[Professor Oak|Sammy]] uses a Poké Ball brought from his own time with a lock on its button to call out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. This model seems to be much closer to the modern design. Hollowed-out Apricorn berries, much like [[Kurt]]'s custom Poké Balls, may also have been used in the past to hold Pokémon.

[[Image:Green pokeball.JPG|thumb|200px|A green Poké Ball]]
; Green Poké Balls
: Official name unknown. In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', in the {{g|League}} {{pkmn|battle}} seen at the very start of the episode, one Trainer, presumably [[Bruno]], throws out a green Poké Ball which contains an {{p|Onix}}. This was the first Poké Ball seen in the anime. No details on this Poké Ball were given, and its color has never been explained; shortly after in the episode, regular red Poké Balls are used.
: It is possibly supposed to be some special sort of Poké Ball, like a Great Ball or Ultra Ball, to help show the elite status of the Trainers battling. Additionally, since some [[Generation II]] information was known at this point, it could be an early assumption of one of the [[apricorn]] balls. If this were the case, then it would be most likely a Friend Ball. It's also very similar to a Safari Ball anime design, except it doesn't have an "S" letter. It is interesting to note that in the Ruby/Sapphire artwork of [[Brendan]], he is shown with a Green Poké Ball. The reason for this is unknown.
: It may also simply be a customized Poké Ball, coloured green to make it easier for its Trainer to identify, or maybe even a regular Poké Ball coloured differently because of the lighting.

; Solid Gold Poké Balls
: There are not actually any solid gold Poké Balls in the Pokémon world. However, the idea is often used to fool greedy criminals like [[Brodie]] in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' or gullible consumers like [[James]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

; Mewtwo's Poké Balls/Clone Balls
: Marked by an eerie eye incorporated into their design, these Poké Balls were created and used by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. They can be moved around easily with Mewtwo's {{t|Psychic}} powers, and they can capture any Pokémon, including those which have already been captured by a Trainer, and Pokémon which are already inside their Poké Balls. Mewtwo used these to gather Pokémon to be cloned. Mewtwo's Poké Balls do not make the same sound as regular Poké Balls when they open, but otherwise their function is the same. Some Pokémon fans on the Internet refer to them as '''Shadow Balls''', but this is misleading because this type of Poké Ball has nothing to do with [[Shadow Pokémon]]; '''Shadow Ball''' is also the name of {{m|Shadow Ball|a Ghost-type Pokémon move}} first seen in the same movie.

; [[GS Ball]]
: This was in the possession of [[Professor Ivy]], who gave it to {{Ash}}, who in turn gave it to [[Kurt]] to study. Despite this, its purpose is completely unknown, since it was never mentioned again after being given to Kurt, and has most likely been forgotten. There is a large amount of fan speculation as to what purpose it holds. It bears a striking resemblance with the Park Ball (seen above).

; Lake Balls
[[Image:Lake_Ball.jpg|The Seaking Catching Competition announcer holding a Lake Ball|thumb]]
: These balls were used only in the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]], similar to the Park Balls used in the Bug-Catching Contest. They only appeared in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', and have not been seen since. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball.
[[Image:Vicious.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Vicious]] holding a Dark Ball]]
; [[Dark Ball]]s
: These were used by [[The Iron Masked Marauder]] in ''{{g|4Ever}}''. Presumably technology of [[Team Rocket]], these Poké Balls will take over the mind of any Pokémon caught by them, making them turn into mindless servants of whoever caught them, as well as raise them to the highest level. These were used to capture multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Celebi}}. The Poké Balls were quite powerful in the movie as one of them were used to catch a {{p|Tyranitar}} without any problem.
[[Image:Chansey PokeBall.PNG|right|200px|thumb|A disguised [[Nurse Joy]] holding [[Nurse Joy's Chansey|her Chansey's]] Poké Ball.]]

; Crystal Poké Balls
:These were created by the {{OBP|Unown|Spell of the Unown}} for [[Molly Hale|Molly]] to battle with during ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.

; Rocket Poké Balls
:These were used in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', and look like normal Poké Balls but black with a red "R" on them. Hundreds were used by the many Rockets in the special.

; {{p|Chansey}} Poké Balls
: Used by a [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''.

; Other Poké Balls
: In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}}'s Poké Ball has a small lightning bolt mark on the top half of the ball, presumably added by [[Professor Oak]] to differentiate it from the Pokémon he would usually hand out as [[starter Pokémon|starters]].

:[[Ritchie]]'s Poké Balls bear a star-shaped sticker on the top half, so that he knows which ones are his if needed.

; Other uses of Poké Balls in the anime
: When {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} break a rusty, old Poké Ball they fished out of a pond, they each keep a piece as a symbol of their rivalry.

:Poké Balls are used in several places to symbolize Pokémon; for example, the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} logo, either three entwined Poké Balls, or alternatively, half a stylized Poké Ball, as seen on Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} caps.

:A Poké Ball design marks the floor of most Pokémon Centers. Sometimes the roofs are also designed to look like a Poké Ball.

:The first Pokédex entry given in the anime was for the Poké Ball: "While being trained, a Pokémon usually stays inside its Poké Ball. However, there are many exceptions. [[Ash's Pikachu|Some Pokémon]] hate being confined. To capture a Pokémon, you ''usually'' have your own Pokémon battle with the other."
 

===In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]===
[[Image:Aqua - Aqua Ball.jpg|thumb|right|An Aqua Ball|150px]][[Image:Magma - Magma Ball.jpg|thumb|right|A Magma Ball|150px]]
; {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}, {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, and {{TCG|EX Crystal Guardians}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}.

* Also, on the card '''Lt. Surge's Secret Plan''', [[Lt. Surge]] is seen holding a Master Ball. The significance of this is unknown.

==Trivia==

*In the games, all opponents keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as opposed to the many other kinds of Balls. The reason for this is unknown.
*In the handheld games, items are found in what appear to be normal Poké Balls, however the console games choose to use large Poké Ball shaped chests for this purpose.
*Some [[Generation III]] Poké Balls are similar to some [[Generation II]] Poké Balls. The Nest Ball is similar to the Level Ball. The Dive Ball is similar to the Lure Ball. The Luxury Ball is similar to the Friend Ball.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[evolve]]s into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player can choose to start with at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] and is the first Pokémon numerically in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], the [[National Pokédex]], and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bulbasaur is a reptilian creature resembling a toad or dinosaur. Its most notable feature, though, is the bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back when it is born. The bulb is similar to {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}'s tochukaso mushrooms which are also planted at birth. However, Bulbasaur and its bulb share a symbiotic relationship rather than a parasitic one.

Bulbasaur usually walk around on four legs, but in this stage they also have the ability to rise up on their hind legs. However in its later stages it can't since the bulb on its back is to heavy.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, and {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal with the bulb.

The bulb also absorbs sunlight. The sunlight can be turned into health through {{m|Synthesis}} or launched at the opponent as a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Most Bulbasaur are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are often considered the easiest Pokémon to start with in [[Kanto]] since they are strong, not likely to misbehave, and have a type advantage over the first two Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s.

They can often have a strong loyalty streak. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the sewers, where it lived for many years. When it finally returned to the surface, it was not upset about being abandoned by its trainer. In fact, it was simply glad to see him again.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', it is shown that once a year, large groups of Bulbasaur gather together in a hidden garden and evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}.

Bulbasaur can also be found lying in the sun during the day for photosynthesis. They mainly do this during times of scarcity of food.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an {{wp|omnivore}}. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP010.png|thumb|right|[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] protecting a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Oddish}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur first debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]====
[[Image:Maybulbasaurvinewhip.jpg|thumb|right|[[May's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Vine Whip}}]]
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May too left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a Venusaur.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], [[Pistachio]] has a Bulbasaur named [[Danerina]]. She has a crush on him and is extremely jealous whenever she sees him talking to other females.

Ash's Bulbasaur is shown in several chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
In the {{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}}, {{Special|Red}} receives a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' after helping capture all the Pokémon he accidentally set free. Bulbasaur has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}. It has also been shown in the manga that Bulbasaur also has the ability to suck in air through its bulb (as seen in chapter 14 where it sucked up the mist in the ghost tower as well as the {{p|Gastly}} that made it).

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Bulbasaur only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Ivysaur.

==Trivia==
*Bulbasaur is the mascot of [[Bulbagarden|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]].
*Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
*In the initial games, Bulbasaur's body was light green in color. It was changed to blue-green in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
**However, it is still light green in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.
*Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order. By default, this also makes it the first {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Poison}} and dual-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
*Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
*Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 001. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
*Bulbasaur is the only dual-typed starter Pokémon, with {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}}, in its basic form, even in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
*Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head while Ash's does not, and has been confirmed female after its evolution.
**It's also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
*Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Petal Dance}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}, while {{p2|Venusaur|its final evolution}} learns it by leveling up.
*In Kanto, Bulbasaur has more advantages against Gym Leaders than the other starters. Its {{type2|Grass}} attacks make it effective against Pokémon in the Pewter City, Cerulean City, and Viridian City Gyms. Its {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} types also make it resistant to the Vermilion City and Celadon City Gyms' types. It only has weaknesses to the Cinnabar Island and Saffron City Gyms.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based on some form of ''{{wp|Dicynodont}}'', mammal-like reptiles from the {{wp|Permian}}. Its bulb resembles that of a {{wp|lily}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur's name is a combination of the words ''{{wp|bulb}}'' and ''saur'', which is {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name literally means ''it's strange, isn't it?'', and is a pun on, 不思議種 ''fushigidane'', strange seed.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bisasam - Derived from ''Bisamratte'' ({{wp|muskrat}}) and ''Samen'' ({{wp|seed}}).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Bulbizarre - A combination of ''bulb'' and ''bizarre'', reflected by the Japanese name, a pun on "Isn't it strange?".
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이상해씨 ''Isanghaessi'' - Translates to ''Strange Seed''.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 妙蛙種子 ''Mìao Wa Chóng Zí'' - "Weird frog seed".
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 奇異種子 ''Qí Yì Chóng Zí'' - "Unusual seed".
*Brazilian Portuguese (animé only): Bulbassauro - Adaptation of ''Bulbasaur''.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[evolve]]s into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player can choose to start with at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] and is the first Pokémon numerically in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], the [[National Pokédex]], and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bulbasaur is a reptilian creature resembling a toad or dinosaur. Its most notable feature, though, is the bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back when it is born. The bulb is similar to {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}'s tochukaso mushrooms which are also planted at birth. However, Bulbasaur and its bulb share a symbiotic relationship rather than a parasitic one.

Bulbasaur usually walk around on four legs, but in this stage they also have the ability to rise up on their hind legs. However
in its later stages it can't since the bulb on its back is to heavy.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, and {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal with the bulb.

The bulb also absorbs sunlight. The sunlight can be turned into health through {{m|Synthesis}} or launched at the opponent as a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Most Bulbasaur are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are often considered the easiest Pokémon to start with in [[Kanto]] since they are strong, not likely to misbehave, and have a type advantage over the first two Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s.

They can often have a strong loyalty streak. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the sewers, where it lived for many years. When it finally returned to the surface, it was not upset about being abandoned by its trainer. In fact, it was simply glad to see him again.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', it is shown that once a year, large groups of Bulbasaur gather together in a hidden garden and evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}.

Bulbasaur can also be found lying in the sun during the day for photosynthesis. They mainly do this during times of scarcity of food.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an {{wp|omnivore}}. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP010.png|thumb|right|[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] protecting a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Oddish}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur first debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]====
[[Image:Maybulbasaurvinewhip.jpg|thumb|right|[[May's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Vine Whip}}]]
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May too left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a Venusaur.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], [[Pistachio]] has a Bulbasaur named [[Danerina]]. She has a crush on him and is extremely jealous whenever she sees him talking to other females.

Ash's Bulbasaur is shown in several chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
In the {{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}}, {{Special|Red}} receives a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' after helping capture all the Pokémon he accidentally set free. Bulbasaur has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}. It has also been shown in the manga that Bulbasaur also has the ability to suck in air through its bulb (as seen in chapter 14 where it sucked up the mist in the ghost tower as well as the {{p|Gastly}} that made it).

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Bulbasaur only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Ivysaur.

==Trivia==
*Bulbasaur is the mascot of [[Bulbagarden|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]].
*Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
*In the initial games, Bulbasaur's body was light green in color. It was changed to blue-green in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
**However, it is still light green in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.
*Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order. By default, this also makes it the first {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Poison}} and dual-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
*Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
*Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 001. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
*Bulbasaur is the only dual-typed starter Pokémon, with {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}}, in its basic form, even in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
*Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head while Ash's does not, and has been confirmed female after its evolution.
**It's also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
*Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Petal Dance}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}, while {{p2|Venusaur|its final evolution}} learns it by leveling up.
*In Kanto, Bulbasaur has more advantages against Gym Leaders than the other starters. Its {{type2|Grass}} attacks make it effective against Pokémon in the Pewter City, Cerulean City, and Viridian City Gyms. Its {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} types also make it resistant to the Vermilion City and Celadon City Gyms' types. It only has weaknesses to the Cinnabar Island and Saffron City Gyms.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based on some form of ''{{wp|Dicynodont}}'', mammal-like reptiles from the {{wp|Permian}}. Its bulb resembles that of a {{wp|lily}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur's name is a combination of the words ''{{wp|bulb}}'' and ''saur'', which is {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''lizard''. Its Japanese name literally means ''it's strange, isn't it?'', and is a pun on, 不思議種 ''fushigidane'', strange seed.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bisasam - Derived from ''Bisamratte'' ({{wp|muskrat}}) and ''Samen'' ({{wp|seed}}).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Bulbizarre - A combination of ''bulb'' and ''bizarre'', reflected by the Japanese name, a pun on "Isn't it strange?".
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이상해씨 ''Isanghaessi'' - Translates to ''Strange Seed''.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 妙蛙種子 ''Mìao Wa Chóng Zí'' - "Weird frog seed".
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 奇異種子 ''Qí Yì Chóng Zí'' - "Unusual seed".
*Brazilian Portuguese (animé only): Bulbassauro - Adaptation of ''Bulbasaur''.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[evolve]]s into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player can choose to start with at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] and is the first Pokémon numerically in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], the [[National Pokédex]], and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bulbasaur is a reptilian creature resembling a toad or dinosaur. Its most notable feature, though, is the bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back when it is born. The bulb is similar to {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}'s tochukaso mushrooms which are also planted at birth. However, Bulbasaur and its bulb share a symbiotic relationship rather than a parasitic one.

Bulbasaur usually walk around on four legs, but in this stage they also have the ability to rise up on their hind legs. However
in its later stages it can't since the bulb on its back is to hevy.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, and {{m|Sweet Scent}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal with the bulb.

The bulb also absorbs sunlight. The sunlight can be turned into health through {{m|Synthesis}} or launched at the opponent as a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Most Bulbasaur are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are often considered the easiest Pokémon to start with in [[Kanto]] since they are strong, not likely to misbehave, and have a type advantage over the first two Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s.

They can often have a strong loyalty streak. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the sewers, where it lived for many years. When it finally returned to the surface, it was not upset about being abandoned by its trainer. In fact, it was simply glad to see him again.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', it is shown that once a year, large groups of Bulbasaur gather together in a hidden garden and evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}.

Bulbasaur can also be found lying in the sun during the day for photosynthesis. They mainly do this during times of scarcity of food.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an {{wp|omnivore}}. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP010.png|thumb|right|[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] protecting a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Oddish}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur first debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]====
[[Image:Maybulbasaurvinewhip.jpg|thumb|right|[[May's Bulbasaur]] using {{m|Vine Whip}}]]
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May too left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a Venusaur.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto Starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. [[Professor Oak]], {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], [[Pistachio]] has a Bulbasaur named [[Danerina]]. She has a crush on him and is extremely jealous whenever she sees him talking to other females.

Ash's Bulbasaur is shown in several chapters of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
In the {{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}}, {{Special|Red}} receives a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' after helping capture all the Pokémon he accidentally set free. Bulbasaur has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}. It has also been shown in the manga that Bulbasaur also has the ability to suck in air through its bulb (as seen in chapter 14 where it sucked up the mist in the ghost tower as well as the {{p|Gastly}} that made it).

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Bulbasaur only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Ivysaur.

==Trivia==
*Bulbasaur is the mascot of [[Bulbagarden|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]].
*Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
*In the initial games, Bulbasaur's body was light green in color. It was changed to blue-green in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
**However, it is still light green in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.
*Bulbasaur is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order. By default, this also makes it the first {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Poison}} and dual-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
*Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
*Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 001. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
*Bulbasaur is the only dual-typed starter Pokémon, with {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}}, in its basic form, even in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].
*Though Bulbasaur have no gender differences in the games, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head while Ash's does not, and has been confirmed female after its evolution.
**It's also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
*Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Petal Dance}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}, while {{p2|Venusaur|its final evolution}} learns it by leveling up.
*In Kanto, Bulbasaur has more advantages against Gym Leaders than the other starters. Its {{type2|Grass}} attacks make it effective against Pokémon in the Pewter City, Cerulean City, and Viridian City Gyms. Its {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} types also make it resistant to the Vermilion City and Celadon City Gyms' types. It only has weaknesses to the Cinnabar Island and Saffron City Gyms.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based on some form of ''{{wp|Dicynodont}}'', mammal-like reptiles from the {{wp|Permian}}. Its bulb resembles that of a {{wp|lily}}.
