'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

==Biology==
Meganium is a pale green, {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with yellow eyes. It has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. These protrusions are shorter on the female. Its four feet have three toes. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower with a yellow central pattern and white tips.

Meganium's petals can release an aroma that can soothe anyone that comes in contact with it and can calm aggressive feelings, and its breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants. Its powerful and soothing regenerative powers can even come about by being around it, giving those who stand near the impression of being in a clean and lush forest. Meganium tend to be a very docile species and has been portrayed as a peacemaker in [[AG161|the anime]]. Meganium can rarely be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

'''Bayleef''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベイリーフ''' ''Bayleaf'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chikorita}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
Bayleef resembles a pale yellow {{wp|sauropod}} dinosaur or a {{wp|lizard}}. A large leaf shaped like a scythe protrudes from its head. It has red eyes, and has one large toenail on each of its four feet. It also has a small tail. It has curled leaf-like growths, stated to be buds with small tree shoots inside, sprouting in a ring around its neck.

The aroma wafting from the leaf-like growths around its neck has a spicy scent, and exhibits various beneficial effects on itself, nearby people, or Pokémon who inhale it. The fragrance has a combination of energizing, stimulating, and healing effects. Bayleef can be rarely found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} among other Bayleef and its evolutions.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Bayleef.png|thumb|left|210px|Bayleef in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bayleef]]====
{{Ash}}'s Chikorita evolved into Bayleef in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''. Ash's Bayleef still had the same personality it had when it was still a Chikorita, but it soon mellowed out.

====[[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Bayleef]]====
{{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} evolved into Bayleef in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. It evolved again into a {{p|Meganium}} off screen prior to the events of ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid!]]''.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Crystal}}'s Chikorita evolves into a Bayleef while defending his Trainer against an attack from an old foe, an impish wild {{p|Larvitar}}. Although it had been such a short while since it had evolved that it didn't know how to restrain the {{m|Sweet Scent}} it gave around it (causing wild {{p|Lickitung}} to gather around it), it evolved with its fellow (and newly reawakened) starter Pokémon in the fight against {{p|Lugia}} in the [[Whirl Islands]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{GnB|Gold}} has a Bayleef that used to belong to {{GnB|Black}}, but was released by its former Trainer for being too weak. After joining Gold's team, it has been able to defeat strong opponents such as [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}.

==Trivia==
* Bayleef is the tallest of the second-stage evolutions of starter Pokémon.
* Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real {{wp|bay leaves}} have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to {{wp|thyme}}.

===Origin===
Bayleef is based on a group of {{wp|dinosaurs}} called {{wp|sauropods}}, specifically the ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. However, the shape of its mouth, small tail, and relatively small size are reminiscent of the {{wp|Pinta Island tortoise}}. Its vegetable part is based on the leaves of the {{wp|bay laurel}}, which oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in aromatheraphy.

====Name origin====
Bayleef is a corruption of ''{{wp|bay leaf}}'', an herb.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Swirlix is based on {{wp|cotton candy}}, previously known as fairy floss (a name still used in Australia), which may be the inspiration for its type. Considering its lolling tongue, nose, ear-like circular "bumps" on its head, and its tail, it may also be based on a {{wp|dog}}, more specifically a {{wp|bichon}} or a {{wp|poodle}}.

====Name origin====
Swirlix may be a combination of ''swirl'' and a corruption of ''licks''.

Peroppafu may be a combination of ペロペロ ''peropero'' (onomatopoeic sound for licking) and ''puff''.

===Origin===
Slurpuff appears to be based on a {{wp|profiterole}} (cream puff), decorated in possibly a {{wp|whipped cream}} or {{wp|ganache}} and a {{wp|sauce}}, topped with a {{wp|maraschino cherry}}. It may also be based on other sweets or {{wp|pastry|pastries}}, such as {{wp|cupcake}}s or Japanese-style {{wp|mille-feuille}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Swirlix is based on {{wp|cotton candy}}, previously known as fairy floss (a name still used in Australia), which may be the inspiration for its type. Considering its lolling tongue, nose, ear-like circular "bumps" on its head, and its tail, it may also be based on a {{wp|dog}}, more specifically a {{wp|bichon frise}} or a {{wp|poodle}}.

====Name origin====
Swirlix may be a combination of ''swirl'' and a corruption of ''licks''.

Peroppafu may be a combination of ペロペロ ''peropero'' (onomatopoeic sound for licking) and ''puff''.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Spritzee seems to be based both on a bird, sharing some traits with {{wp|Hummingbird|hummingbirds}} and a possible coloration reference to {{wp|flamingo}}s, as well as a {{wp|perfume}} bottle's squeeze bulb. The shape of its beak is also reminiscent of parrots, more specifically {{wp|Major Mitchell's Cockatoo}}, which is pink and has a frilly feather crest while mature female has red eyes. Given the round white area on its face it may also draw inspiration from traditional {{wp|carnival}} masks used in central and southern parts of Europe, and masks worn at {{wp|masquerade ball}}s. Its fluffy body may be based on powder puffs or other cosmetics applicators. Its perfumes and avian qualities and origins may mean that Spritzee and Aromatisse could have possibly been based on {{wp|plague doctor}}s, who used various perfumes held in bird-like masks to drown out the scent of the plague and deceased.

====Name origin====
Spritzee is from ''spritz'' (a spray of liquid).

Shushupu may be from プシュー ''pushū'' (onomatopoeia for spraying).

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Spritzee seems to be based both on a bird, sharing some traits with {{wp|Hummingbird|hummingbirds}} and a possible coloration reference to {{wp|flamingo}}s, as well as a {{wp|perfume}} bottle's squeeze bulb. The shape of its beak is also reminiscent of parrots, more specifically {{wp|Major Mitchell's cockatoo}}, which is pink and has a frilly feather crest while mature female has red eyes. Given the round white area on its face it may also draw inspiration from traditional {{wp|carnival}} masks used in central and southern parts of Europe, and masks worn at {{wp|masquerade ball}}s. Its fluffy body may be based on powder puffs or other cosmetics applicators. Its perfumes and avian qualities and origins may mean that Spritzee and Aromatisse could have possibly been based on {{wp|plague doctor}}s, who used various perfumes held in bird-like masks to drown out the scent of the plague and deceased.

====Name origin====
Spritzee is from ''spritz'' (a spray of liquid).

Shushupu may be from プシュー ''pushū'' (onomatopoeia for spraying).

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Frogadier}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Froakie}}.

==Biology==
Greninja is a large, bipedal, frog-like Pokémon. Its body and legs are purple, with single large white bubbles on its legs and arms and white spots over its eyes. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Its feet are webbed, and it has a yellow chest and a yellow-and-purple face. It has eyes with white sclera, red irises, and white pupils. A large, projecting purple stripe runs down the middle of its head, with projecting blue stripes in between its large, yellow ears. Its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around Greninja's neck and extends outward behind its head.

Greninja moves with the speed and grace of a ninja, using swift movements to confuse its enemies while it slices them up with throwing stars made of compressed water; these throwing stars are sharp enough to split metal. Greninja is the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Water Shuriken}} and {{m|Mat Block}}.

==Trivia==
* Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of any fully evolved starter Pokémon and of any {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Greninja shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.

===Origin===
Greninja is based upon a frog, and, due to its spiked protrusions above its eyes, may have been inspired by horned frogs such {{wp|Megophrys}} and {{wp|Ceratophrys}}. Its coloration and body shape is similar to the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on toad {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True Toad|toad}}s causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frog foam. Greninja is also inspired by {{wp|ninja}}s.

====Name origin====
Greninja is a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga is a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

Avalugg is a large, heavy Ice-type Pokemon with a slightly symmetrical design, resembling to a large, four-legged iceberg. Its top half is flat, with three cracks, one before its stubby tail and two in between its four legs. These legs are cylindrical, and also sport purple cracks at its joints and in between its "toes", which each have a spike underneath, similar to cleats. Its underside has three spikes, which nearly touch the ground. Avalugg's head is similar to its body, a cracked wedge of ice with a flattened upper surface. Its mouth has a large underbite, which opens up to reveal a purple inside and a few small teeth. The head has two white diamond-shaped "ears." The underside of its head has three protrusions like its body, resembling an icy beard.

===Sprites===

==Trivia==
* Avalugg has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Avalugg appears to be based on an {{wp|iceberg}} or a {{wp|stalactite}}. It may be a representation of the submerged part of the iceberg, which is immense in comparison with the tip. It may also be based on an {{wp|aircraft carrier}}. Its body also somewhat resembles a tortoise, or perhaps a rhinoceros or cerapod.

====Name origin====
Avalugg may be a combination of ''avalanche'' and ''lug'' (to carry or drag heavy objects) or "lugg", which means 'pile' in Norwegian.

Kurebēsu may be a combination of ''{{wp|crevasse}}'' and ''base''.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans. In Pokémon {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}} Versions, Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is a part of the [[weather trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like creature with a gray underside and covered in red, segmented plates of thick skin which act as armor. There are also spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. It has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with grey coloration under its feet. Groudon also has blue marking stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

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

===Special abilities===
Groudon is thought to have been the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]]. It can heat up the air around it to cause static charge, enabling it to use some {{type|electric}} moves. It can also learn {{m|SolarBeam}}, which can be a reliable way to fight off {{type|Water}}s when combined with its constant sun. Groudon is also a natural burrower that can dig its way quickly into the land and can even bore through solid rock.

===Behavior===
Slow, stoic, and heavy ({{tt|2094 pounds|950 kilograms}}), this super-heavyweight created the land, according to Hoenn legend. It sleeps underground in large magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. It is said to appear before those with shining silver spirits. If it encounters its rival {{p|Kyogre}}, Groudon will engage Kyogre in a fight to the death.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rough-terrain Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Groudon sleeps miles below the ground (occasionally in deep, hot magma pockets), and is therefore nearly impossible to find in the wild without awakening it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.png|thumb|right|Groudon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Groudon (M06)]]====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wishes to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a {{mov|Groudon|manifestation of pure evil that had the appearance of a Groudon|6}}. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

====Other====
Groudon's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Aqua planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who have captured Kyogre. 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]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Groudon made its debut in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

Groudon makes a cameo during the introduction of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Maxie Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to battle {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled.

==In the TFG==

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Groudon.png|thumb|right|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it to receive damage and knockback. Its attack is similar to that of {{p|Moltres}}, except that Groudon is much larger and lasts longer. On the downside, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals much lower damage and knockback; making it very hard to KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In battle, it summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon:Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen, then Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. Team ACT will then go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, then a new team, comprised of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}. When they get defeated, the player's team have to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Fake Groudon.png|thumb|Fake or Virus Groudon]]
[[File:Terrel.png|thumb|Terrell's Groudon Costume]]
* Groudon is the heaviest of all Pokémon.
** It is also the only Pokémon that exceeds 1 {{wp|short ton}} (2000 lbs.).
* Groudon shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Torterra}}; they are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Groudon has the highest {{stat|Attack}} base stat and base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Although Groudon is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* In the anime it is portrayed as tall as a skyscraper, but in actual fact it's only 11'06".
** This was, however, in [[M06|the sixth movie]] only, in which case the "Groudon" in question wasn't a real Groudon, but merely a creature that resembled it. When an actual Groudon [[AG097|later]] [[AG098|appeared]] in the anime series, it was a lot smaller.
* A Groudon costume is worn by Terrell in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Groudon is one of two Pokémon that shares no types with other main series version mascots. The other is {{p|Venusaur}}.
* On the DVD cover of Jirachi: Wish Maker, Groudon is depicted in a normal state. However, the main storyline Groudon was not in a normal state at all, and was a [[Groudon (M06)|fake or "virus" Groudon]].
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], before [[Michael]] can get to [[Makan]], he has to fight [[Chobin]]. And, after defeating him, has to fight him again, only this time, Chobin is in a [[Robo Groudon]] which is a creation of Dr. Kaminko.
* Groudon is the only [[Generation III]] legendary Pokémon to have never appeared in any movie (only in introductions, though [[Groudon (M06)|a fake one]] appears in the sixth movie).

===Origin===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time, Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. However, the Behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way, {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the Leviathan.

Instead, Groudon is based on a dinosaur of some kind. Its appearance seems to have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'', such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''. Alternatively, it might be based on the {{wp|Pangolin}}, a ground-dwelling mammal with scales and large claws.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). ''Don'' also means ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek and is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, which Groudon somewhat resembles. It may also involve 土 ''do'' (ground) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise).

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒンバス''' ''Hinbass'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Milotic}} when [[level]]ed up with its [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition high enough or when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}} ([[Generation V]]).

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.

As their [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] increases, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamonds. This shows that {{p|Milotic|evolution}} is very near.

====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful {{type|Ice}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Water-type moves like {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Water Pulse}}. They can also learn {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as [[Egg move]]s through {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Behavior===
Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.

===Habitat===
[[File:Waters-edge Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, {{rt|119|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]] has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. In [[Sinnoh]], Feebas is only found in four of the hundreds of squares which comprise the lake in [[Mt. Coronet]]'s basement which change daily. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located. Feebas can also be found on any tile in {{rt|1|Unova}} from Unova.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Feebas anime.png|thumb|220px|Feebas in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
A Feebas appeared in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'' under the ownership of [[Haley]]. It was nicknamed the loveliest Feebas of all.

===Minor appearances===
Feebas first appeared biting [[Jessie]]'s hair in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.

The [[Magikarp salesman]] sold a Feebas to Jessie in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'' but it was actually a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}} in disguise.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas, which later evolved into a {{p|Milotic}}, appeared under the ownership of [[Johanna]]; however, it turned out to be an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

Another Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Feefee}}
{{adv|Ruby}} obtained a Feebas after it took a liking to him while he was fishing. It later evolved in a Milotic.

===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
{{OBP|Enta|CBF}} had a Feebas which evolved into a Milotic after the battle with [[Dome Ace Tucker]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[Mitsumi]] has a Milotic which evolved from Feebas.

==Trivia==
* Feebas has several similarities to {{p|Magikarp}}:
** Though its level-up moves are exactly the same as those of Magikarp, Feebas can learn moves from [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, hatch from an Egg with [[Egg move]]s, and learn new moves via Move Tutors, making it slightly more useful in battle.
** Feebas shares the same [[species]] name with Magikarp. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
** Feebas and Magikarp have almost identical stats. However, Feebas has a higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, while Magikarp has a higher {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}}. Both Attack and Defense stats for Feebas and Magikarp are reversed.
** They are also the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 200.
** Both change appearance drastically after evolution, evolving into serpentine, dragon-like Pokémon.
* Feebas is the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its Contest stats for it to evolve.
* Although Contest conditions are a hidden stat in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{game|Black and White|s}}, a Feebas that has maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] will still evolve in these games. The [[Prism Scale]], introduced in Generation V, was created due to the fact that there is no legitimate way to raise the Beauty of a Feebas created in the Generation V games, whereas with FireRed and LeafGreen, a trade to Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald was all that was required, and a haircut or grooming by [[Daisy Oak]] is all that is required in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* Feebas has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
* The probability of finding a [[water tile]] with Feebas in [[Mt. Coronet]] is 1/132, with four possible [[fishing]] spots on 528 water tiles.
** The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} is 1/72.66666..., with six possible fishing spots on 436 water tiles.
* Feebas has the lowest maximum Performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.
* Feebas is the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the [[version|main series]]. Feebas can evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] or when traded while holding the [[Prism Scale]].

===Origin===
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}, possibly the {{wp|largemouth bass}}. It also resembles the {{wp|marine hatchetfish}}. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic {{wp|fairy tale}}, {{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}, where a small and feeble "ugly duckling", treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful {{wp|swan}}.

====Name origin====
Feebas is a combination of ''feeble'' (weak) and ''{{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}''. ''Feebas'' is also phonetically similar to ''phoebus'' (Latin for ''shining one''), possibly alluding to {{p|Milotic}}, its evolved form.

Hinbass is a combination of 貧 ''hin'' (poor) and ''bass''. ''Hin'' may also come from the words ''hind'' (located at the rear) or ''hinder''.

'''Gulpin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴクリン''' ''Gokulin'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Swalot}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gulpin is a round, green, blob-like Pokémon. It has a black parallelogram on its back and a yellow feather-like appendage on its head. Gulpin's face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are always closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips.
====Gender differences====
A female Gulpin has a shorter feather-like appendage than a male's.

===Special abilities===
Gulpin can {{m|swallow}} anything its own size due to the fact that Gulpin is practically all stomach. Gulpin's stomach fluids have enough {{m|acid}}ity to melt scrap iron. Some of Gulpin's status move options include {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Amnesia}}, {{m|Curse}}, and {{m|Snatch}}. Gulpin is also capable of a small handful of elemental attacks. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Pain Split}} and {{m|Gunk Shot}}.

===Behavior===
Gulpin is known to eat in large quantities, most likely because its powerful stomach can handle anything.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Gulpin tend to live in grassy plains. However, they sometimes migrate into cities and eat practically anything in sight.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gulpin aren't what one would call "picky eaters". They will eat anything they can get into their mouths.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gulpin anime.png|right|thumb|Gulpin in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gulpin first appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]''. A bunch were eating all the food in the town {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} were in.

===Minor appearances===
A Gulpin also appeared in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|AG065|Gulpin|Ash's Pokédex|Gulpin, the Stomach Pokémon. Gulpin is able to {{m|swallow}} items of its own size whole, as its stomach compresses most of its body. Its unique {{m|Gastro Acid|stomach acid}} allows it to digest almost anything.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Swalot makes small and rather unimportant appearances in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, being owned by minor Trainer characters and being seen as one of the rampaging Pokémon in the {{chap|Emerald}} under [[Guile Hideout|Guile]]'s command.

{{main|Gulpin (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Gulpin.png|220px|thumb|Gulpin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from its [[Poké Ball]], Gulpin will wait until an opponent passes by, then will use {{m|Swallow}} to trap and constantly damage them. The opponent may also be beat on while in Gulpin's mouth for extra damage.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns {{m|Wring Out}}, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot."''

==Game data==

==Trivia==
* Gulpin is the only Pokémon to date with a base-stat total of 302.
* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Shadow PKMN Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.

===Origin===
Gulpin's appearance may be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid. It also shares similarities with some snake species known to swallow their prey whole.

====Name origin====
Gulpin is a shortening of ''gulping'' (swallowing). It may also be a combination of "gulp" and "sculpin", as its appearance vaguely resembles the related [[wp:blobfish|blobfish]].

Gokulin may be a combination of ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (the sound of gulping) and ''toxin''.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns {{m|Wring Out}}, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot."''

==Trivia==
* Gulpin is the only Pokémon to date with a base-stat total of 302.
* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Shadow PKMN Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.

===Origin===
Gulpin's appearance may be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid. It also shares similarities with some snake species known to swallow their prey whole.

====Name origin====
Gulpin is a shortening of ''gulping'' (swallowing). It may also be a combination of "gulp" and "sculpin", as its appearance vaguely resembles the related [[wp:blobfish]].

Gokulin may be a combination of ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (the sound of gulping) and ''toxin''.

Electrode are round Pokémon with {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|no arms or legs}}. They resemble an upside-down [[Poké Ball]]. For this reason, many Trainers try to pick them up in the [[Power Plant]], mistaking them for an item. Whereas their {{p|Voltorb|pre-evolution}} resembles a conventional [[Poké Ball]] in both shape and color, Electrode have the colors reversed (the red being on the bottom and white on top), and have a mouth.

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

===Special abilities===
The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster they moves. If agitated, they may randomly {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

They are known by the nickname "Bomb Ball".

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Electrode live in power plants. They may occasionally be found in other buildings, where they provide power for operational purposes.

They are quite rare, but have been encountered in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

[[File:Electrode anime.png|200px|thumb|right|Electrode in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

In ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', an Electrode that was painted like a {{wp|watermelon}} was guarding a patch of [[Watmel Berry|Watmel Berries]].

===Minor appearances===

In ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', an Electrode's explosion signaled the start of a swimming race between [[Ash's Squirtle]] and a {{p|Marill}}.

An Electrode under the ownership of the [[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Danny]] appeared in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', {{an|Spoink}} thought that an Electrode was a pearl. When the group tried to take it off its head, it {{m|Explosion|exploded}}.

Multiple Electrode appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally and indirectly caused an Electrode to fall and explode on a bus that a Poké-sitter was driving.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|EP114|Electrode|Ash's Pokédex|Electrode, the evolved form of Voltorb. Highly concentrated electric energy causes this Pokémon to {{m|Explosion|explode}} unpredictably. Also known as the Bomb-ball.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Orange}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Lt Surge Voltorb Electrode Adventures.png|thumb|right|[[Lt. Surge]]'s Electrode, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Electrode makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{adv|Red}}. Lt. Surge also possesses a cannon capable of firing Electrode at high speeds to attack, supplied by Team Rocket technology. Since the disbandment of [[Team Rocket]] at the end of {{PAV|7}}, Lt. Surge is technically no longer a member, and it is unconfirmed if he still possesses the weaponry.

The Team Rocket grunts use a Voltorb and an Electrode to attack {{adv|Yellow}} in the volume with the S.S. Anne. 

[[Eusine]], as seen in {{PAV|10}}, possesses an Electrode as well, allowing him to travel over large distances by riding it. Eusine's Electrode apparently uses {{m|Magnet Rise|electric charges}} to suspend itself in mid-air.

The author, [[Hidenori Kusaka]], used an Electrode in {{PAV|4}} (JP version) as self-portrait, continuing to do so ever since. Before that, he always depicted himself as a regular man.

[[Wattson]]'s Electrode was only seen in the Power Plant located in [[New Mauville]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
{{GnB|Black}} owns an Electrode as seen in ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]'' which he took it from [[Team Rocket]].

[[Eusine]] also has an Electrode in the manga.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[Lt. Surge]]'s Voltorb battled against {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and evolved into Electrode the same match.

Electrode also appeared in [[PM047]] where {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} was coming up with three grand schemes. Giovanni used multiple Electrode in [[PM099]].

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Electrode.png|200px|thumb|An Electrode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in Brawl in much the same way as in Melee, however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds.

====Melee trophy information====
''Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.''

====Brawl trophy information====

''"A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity stored in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in are {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Its love of electricity cause it to gather near power plants."''

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], Electrode had the highest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon. It was surpassed by {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Accelgor}}, and all formes of {{p|Deoxys}} except the Defense Forme. However, it still has the highest base Speed of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* In Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen, players can obtain an Electrode at a level as low as 3 by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]], evolving it, and [[List of in-game trades|trading]] it to an old man on [[Cinnabar Island]].
* Electrode has a [[Oh Electrode|short song]] dedicated to it, which is sung by [[Suzukisan]].
* Like Voltorb, some [[Poké Ball]] items in the [[Power Plant]] turn out to be Electrode. Electrode is nearly three times the size of Voltorb, which was already much bigger than the average baseball-sized Poké Ball, meaning this mix-up would be technically impossible.
* Despite being an Electric type, Electrode, and its pre-evolution Voltorb, did not learn any Electric-type moves via level-up until Generation III.
* Despite apparently gaining speed as it absorbs electricity, Electrode can not have the Ability {{a|Motor Drive}}.
* Voltorb and Electrode exist in [[Oblivia]]'s past, despite both Pokémon being brought into origin in more recent times. Whether this was an oversight or not is unknown. A similar situation occurs with {{p|Porygon-Z}}.

===Origin===
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]], and is often mistaken for one. Also, based off its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to land mines. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle. Like [[Voltorb]], it may be based on {{wp|ball lightning}} as well.

====Name origin====
Electrode may be a portmanteau of ''electric'' and ''explode'' or ''node'' (a computer or program), as well as a pun on {{wp|electrode}}, a device through which electrical currents pass, but it is usually in the shape of a rod.

Marumine may be a combination of 丸 ''maru'' (circle) and ''{{wp|mine}}'', as in {{wp|landmine}}.

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Voltorb are spherical Pokémon with {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|no arms or legs}}. They look like a [[Poké Ball]] with a face, minus the button; their top half is red, while their bottom half is white. They were first seen in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. Voltorb and their evolution, {{p|Electrode}}, could be forms of energy, but it is unknown where that energy came from or how it created them. Because of the similarities with the Poké Ball, it has been suggested that Voltorb are [[artificial Pokémon]], created with some form of human involvement.

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

===Special abilities===
If agitated, Voltorb may {{m|Explosion|explode}}. They can also wield powerful {{type|Electric}} moves.

===Behavior===
Voltorb are easily agitated, and are known to {{m|Selfdestruct|self-destruct}} due to anger.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Voltorb are generally found in power plants and other areas with electric fields, and due to their volatile temper and habit of {{m|Explosion|exploding}} out of anger are generally considered pests. They are also found on farms guarding the crops and fruit there, and are usually painted the same color as the fruits they guard. It is common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but it has been seen in [[Sinnoh]] from time to time.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Wattson Voltorb.png|200px|thumb|Voltorb in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Voltorb first appeared in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. [[Koga]] kept a bunch of these in [[Fuchsia Gym|his Gym]] as booby traps.

Voltorb also appeared in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. Team Rocket received them from the {{ka|Keith|Backpack-switching thief}}, thinking they were [[Poké Ball]]s with [[Rarity|rare]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in them, as well as their {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. When Team Rocket found out they were not, the Voltorb started to {{m|Explosion|explode}} in their balloon. They dumped most of the Voltorb on the thief, prompting him to quit his crime spree, but a single Voltorb sent them blasting off.

A sole Voltorb lived amongst the Electrode in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''. Although {{an|Misty}} was terrified of it, the {{type|Electric}} befriended her {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}, and the [[baby Pokémon]] was sad when it had to leave.

[[Wattson]] used a Voltorb in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Battle}} with {{Ash}} in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. It was easily defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]], which had become super-charged during an incident at the [[Mauville Gym]].

===Minor appearances===

A Voltorb was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Voltorb made a small appearance in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. {{an|Spoink}} mistook it for a pearl.

Multiple Voltorb appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', two Voltorb attack {{an|May}} as they are trained to do so when anyone steps foot on [[Nicolette]]'s property.

A Voltorb disguised as a watermelon appeared in the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It exploded when [[Jessie]] and [[James]] picked it up after falling for its disguise.

In ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend]]'', several Voltorb attacked Ash and his friends.

==Trivia==
* Although Voltorb is an {{type|Electric}}, it could not learn any Electric attacks via level-up until [[Generation III]].
* Though it is said that Voltorb are often mistaken for [[Poké Ball]]s, Voltorb is over one foot in height, far larger than any modern Poké Ball.
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper, and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the player to lose [[coin]]s when flipped.
* Voltorb and Electrode exist in [[Oblivia]]'s past, despite both Pokémon being brought into origin in more recent times. Whether this was an oversight or not is unknown. A similar situation occurs with {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Due to their almost identical appearance, Voltorb was often confused with Electrode by the dub voice actors. The same situation happened with {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}.
* Voltorb has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Electric-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]] (with its Shiny form possibly being based on a Great Ball). The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to "Mimic" monsters found in other RPGs. Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a bomb. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, may be a reference to {{wp|ball lightning}}.

====Name origin====
Voltorb is a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of びりびり ''biribiri'' (like an electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Voltorb are spherical Pokémon with {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|no arms or legs}}. They look like a [[Poké Ball]] with a face, minus the button; their top half is red, while their bottom half is white. They were first seen in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. Voltorb and their evolution, {{p|Electrode}}, could be forms of energy, but it is unknown where that energy came from or how it created them. Because of the similarities with the Poké Ball, it has been suggested that Voltorb are [[artificial Pokémon]], created with some form of human involvement.

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

===Special abilities===
If agitated, Voltorb may {{m|Explosion|explode}}. They can also wield powerful {{type|Electric}} moves.

===Behavior===
Voltorb are easily agitated, and are known to {{m|Selfdestruct|self-destruct}} due to anger.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Voltorb are generally found in power plants and other areas with electric fields, and due to their volatile temper and habit of {{m|Explosion|exploding}} out of anger are generally considered pests. They are also found on farms guarding the crops and fruit there, and are usually painted the same color as the fruits they guard. It is common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but it has been seen in [[Sinnoh]] from time to time.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Wattson Voltorb.png|200px|thumb|Voltorb in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Voltorb first appeared in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. [[Koga]] kept a bunch of these in [[Fuchsia Gym|his Gym]] as booby traps.

Voltorb also appeared in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. Team Rocket received them from the {{ka|Keith|Backpack-switching thief}}, thinking they were [[Poké Ball]]s with [[Rarity|rare]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in them, as well as their {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. When Team Rocket found out they were not, the Voltorb started to {{m|Explosion|explode}} in their balloon. They dumped most of the Voltorb on the thief, prompting him to quit his crime spree, but a single Voltorb sent them blasting off.

A sole Voltorb lived amongst the Electrode in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]''. Although {{an|Misty}} was terrified of it, the {{type|Electric}} befriended her {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}, and the [[baby Pokémon]] was sad when it had to leave.

[[Wattson]] used a Voltorb in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Battle}} with {{Ash}} in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. It was easily defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]], which had become super-charged during an incident at the [[Mauville Gym]].

A Voltorb was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Voltorb made a small appearance in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]''. {{an|Spoink}} mistook it for a pearl.

Multiple Voltorb appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', two Voltorb attack {{an|May}} as they are trained to do so when anyone steps foot on [[Nicolette]]'s property.

A Voltorb disguised as a watermelon appeared in the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It exploded when [[Jessie]] and [[James]] picked it up after falling for its disguise.

In ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend]]'', several Voltorb attacked Ash and his friends.

==Trivia==
* Although Voltorb is an {{type|Electric}}, it could not learn any Electric attacks via level-up until [[Generation III]].
* Though it is said that Voltorb are often mistaken for [[Poké Ball]]s, Voltorb is over one foot in height, far larger than any modern Poké Ball.
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper, and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the player to lose [[coin]]s when flipped.
* Voltorb and Electrode exist in [[Oblivia]]'s past, despite both Pokémon being brought into origin in more recent times. Whether this was an oversight or not is unknown. A similar situation occurs with {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Due to their almost identical appearance, Voltorb was often confused with Electrode by the dub voice actors. The same situation happened with {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}.
* Voltorb has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Electric-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]] (with its Shiny form possibly being based on a Great Ball). The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to "Mimic" monsters found in other RPGs. Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a bomb. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, made be a reference to {{wp|ball lightning}}.

====Name origin====
Voltorb is a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of びりびり ''biribiri'' (like an electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).

'''Paras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パラス ''' ''Paras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Parasect}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Paras Mushroom.png|thumb|left|200px|Paras removing its {{wp|tochukaso}}]]
Paras is an {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with an insectoid body|insectoid}} creature resembling the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}, with the unique feature of having mushrooms known as {{wp|Caterpillar fungus|tochukaso}} growing from its back. They grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its parent's back. The tochukaso can be removed at any time, although researchers suggest that Paras only do so under extreme measures.

They have six legs with the front pair being the largest. They have six dotted specks on their forehead and two teeth on either side of their mouth. The mouth appear to be vertical, similar to {{p|Pinsir}}'s.

Though tochukaso are parasitic in nature, Paras manages to make use of the mushrooms by creating a semi-symbiotic relationship; the mushrooms draw their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow, and Paras is able to use the mushrooms spores along with its own pincers for self-defense.

Paras may have long life spans, because the tochukaso is known for having properties that are beneficial for longevity.

The mushrooms on Paras's back are often prized by collectors.

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

===Special abilities===
The mushrooms growing out of its back will release irritating spores that can [[Status ailment|paralyze, poison, or induce sleep]] in its foes.

===Behavior===
The mushrooms on its back have a very commanding influence over Paras and order it to extract juice from tree trunks. It is also very timid as shown in the anime when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon|Charizard}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Paras can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in damp forests with high amounts of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi. It is most commonly found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but occasionally can be found in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
It is unknown if Paras eats regular food in the wild or if it gets all of its nutrients from the roots that it sucks, though most of the food is absorbed by the mushrooms on its back. However, they have been known to prey on {{p|Weedle}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cassandra Paras.png|thumb|250px|right|Paras in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Paras is featured in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' under the ownership of [[Cassandra]]. It is extremely weak, but Cassandra needed it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Parasect}} so she can use the giant mushroom to aid in her medical research. It does so towards the end of the episode.

===Minor appearances===
Paras made its debut in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', in which a group of Paras can be briefly seen removing the mushrooms on their backs. [[Seymour]] explained that this behavior was due to someone stringing lights in the caves of Mt. Moon, and implied that this was not good for them.

A Paras also appeared in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It was one of the Pokémon in [[Melanie]]'s care. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

A Paras appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

Two differently patterned Paras appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

A [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|pink]] Paras appeared on [[Pinkan Island]] in ''[[EP088|In The Pink]]''.

Paras had a small cameo in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' as one of the Bug Pokémon on [[Murcott Island]].

A Paras was one of the Pokémon stolen by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]''.

A Paras appeared in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'' where it was chased away by Misty after it scared her.

A Paras belonging to an unnamed competitor appeared in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'' competing in the {{type|Grass}} tournament.

A Paras was one of the inhabitants of an oasis just for Pokémon in ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]''.

Paras also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

A Paras appeared in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Paras's name was originally "Parasyte". The name was probably abandoned because it was also the official English name of an {{wp|Parasyte|extremely graphic Japanese horror comic}}.
* Paras is the only Pokémon with a total [[EV yield]] of 1 to evolve at a fixed [[level]] directly into a Pokémon with an EV yield of 3, {{p|Parasect}}. In [[Generation II]], the 1 EV yielding {{p|Slowpoke}}, who previously only evolved at Level 37 into the 2 EV yielding {{p|Slowbro}}, gained the ability to evolve directly into the 3 EV yielding {{p|Slowking}} when traded with a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}, and in [[Generation IV]] the 1 EV yielding {{p|Nosepass}} was given the 3 EV yielding direct evolution {{p|Probopass}} when gaining a level in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* In [[Generation I]], {{t|Poison}} attacks are super effective against {{t|Bug}}, making Paras and {{p|Parasect}} the only Pokémon to have ever had three 4× weaknesses or double weakness to Poison.
* Due to the Ability {{a|Dry Skin}}, Paras and {{p|Parasect}} are also the only Pokémon to have a 5× weakness (to {{t|Fire}}).
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Paras and {{p|Parasect|its evolution}}.
* Paras and its evolved form, {{p|Parasect}}, share their species name with {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
** These are also the only Pokémon that can have the Ability {{a|Effect Spore}} other than as a Hidden Ability.
* Paras can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shroomish}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], while Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak|Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Paras and Parasect}}
There are many forms of fungus that grow on insects, any one of which could have inspired Paras's design, like the ''{{wp|Entomophthora muscae}}'', which grows on the back of the common {{wp|housefly}}. As for the insect itself, it bears a resemblance to a {{wp|cicada}} nymph, more so than {{p|Nincada}}.

====Name origin====
Paras is a shortening of ''{{wp|parasite}}'', referring to the parasitic {{wp|mushroom}} growing on its back.

'''Sandshrew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンド''' ''Sand'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sandslash}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
[[File:Sandshrew Camouflage.png|thumb|200px|left|Sandshrew blending in with its surroundings]]
===Physiology===
Sandshrew is a {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed, bipedal}}, ground-dwelling [[wp:pangolin|pholidote]] notable for its defensive capabilities. Its body is mostly covered in a dry, tough hide, which is colored to blend in with the sands of the desert. It has two sharp claws on each foot and has three small but sharp claws on its paws, which are also useful for burrowing and can sometimes be poisonous. It can curl into a tight ball about the same size as a [[wp:Basketball#Equipment|basketball]] to protect its soft underbelly.

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

===Special abilities===
Sandshrew's special abilities are extremely limited compared to other Pokémon. It has a greater control over the ground and sand than the average Pokémon, mostly derived from adaptation to its habitat.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Sandshrew are mostly defensive by nature. They spend much of their time hidden underground in their burrows and will kick up sand or instantly roll into a ball to escape predators. They may venture out to hunt, taking advantage of the desert sands to hide themselves.

However, with the help of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a Sandshrew can become bolder and much more daring, and can even be trained to swim despite the fact that the water weakens them. They are still fond of curling up, though, even if not for defense. Although Sandshrew are usually bipedal, they are able to run on all fours.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Disliking water, Sandshrew are adapted to dry, arid areas. Thus, they can be commonly found in deserts and grasslands, and sometimes in river valleys or the upper levels of caves as well. For the cave varieties, they also dry up if exposed to concentrated doses of light, particularly lights strung together in the cave. Wherever they are, they live underground in deep burrows. It can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but it is hardy enough to survive in [[Orre]] and can occasionally be found in [[Sinnoh]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Sandshrew do not require a lot of water, due to a very efficient system of staying hydrated with minimal moisture. They hunt for prey in the wild.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
*Sandshrew is the first {{type|Ground}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
*Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon. However, neither shrews, armadillos nor pangolins (all of which Sandshrew has been based on) are actually rodents.
*Although Sandshrew was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type|Ground}}, it could not learn any Ground-type attacks via level-up until [[Generation II]] when {{m|Sand-Attack}} became a Ground-type move. Sandshrew first learned a damage-dealing Ground-type move by level-up in [[Generation III]].

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Sandshrew and Sandslash}}
Sandshrew is based on the {{wp|pangolin}}, a mammal that curls up into a ball, has sharp claws, and lives in desert regions. Both Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} are mentioned to have poisonous claws, similar to how some species of the {{wp|shrew}} are poisonous. Sandshrew also closely resembles an {{wp|armadillo}}.

====Name origin====
Sandshrew is a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|shrew}}'' (a small rodent-like mammal).

Sand is literally ''sand''.

'''Sandshrew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンド''' ''Sand'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sandslash}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
[[File:Sandshrew Camouflage.png|thumb|200px|left|Sandshrew blending in with its surroundings]]
===Physiology===
Sandshrew is a {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed, bipedal}}, ground-dwelling [[wp:pangolin|pholidote]] notable for its defensive capabilities. Its body is mostly covered in a dry, tough hide, which is colored to blend in with the sands of the desert. It has two sharp claws on each foot and has three small but sharp claws on its paws, which are also useful for burrowing and can sometimes be poisonous. It can curl into a tight ball about the same size as a [[wp:Basketball#Equipment|basketball]] to protect its soft underbelly.

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

===Special abilities===
Sandshrew's special abilities are extremely limited compared to other Pokémon. It has a greater control over the ground and sand than the average Pokémon, mostly derived from adaptation to its habitat.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Sandshrew are mostly defensive by nature. They spend much of their time hidden underground in their burrows and will kick up sand or instantly roll into a ball to escape predators. They may venture out to hunt, taking advantage of the desert sands to hide themselves.

However, with the help of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a Sandshrew can become bolder and much more daring, and can even be trained to swim despite the fact that the water weakens them. They are still fond of curling up, though, even if not for defense. Although Sandshrew are usually bipedal, they are able to run on all fours.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Disliking water, Sandshrew are adapted to dry, arid areas. Thus, they can be commonly found in deserts and grasslands, and sometimes in river valleys or the upper levels of caves as well. For the cave varieties, they also dry up if exposed to concentrated doses of light, particularly lights strung together in the cave. Wherever they are, they live underground in deep burrows. It can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but it is hardy enough to survive in [[Orre]] and can occasionally be found in [[Sinnoh]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Sandshrew do not require a lot of water, due to a very efficient system of staying hydrated with minimal moisture. They hunt for prey in the wild.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Sandshrew was first featured in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. It was owned by a Pokémon Trainer named [[A.J.]]. Despite A.J.'s seemly barbaric training methods (e.g. using a whip, training in a pool), it was very loyal to him.

==Trivia==
*Sandshrew is the first {{type|Ground}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
*Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon. However, neither shrews, armadillos nor pangolins (all of which Sandshrew has been based on) are actually rodents.
*Although Sandshrew was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type|Ground}}, it could not learn any Ground-type attacks via level-up until [[Generation II]] when {{m|Sand-Attack}} became a Ground-type move. Sandshrew first learned a damage-dealing Ground-type move by level-up in [[Generation III]].

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Sandshrew and Sandslash}}
Sandshrew is based on the {{wp|pangolin}}, a mammal that curls up into a ball, has sharp claws, and lives in desert regions. Both Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} are mentioned to have poisonous claws, similar to how some species of the {{wp|shrew}} are poisonous. Sandshrew also closely resembles an {{wp|armadillo}}

====Name origin====
Sandshrew is a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|shrew}}'' (a small rodent-like mammal).

Sand is literally ''sand''.

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] 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. Although it is technically a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, on multiple occasions it has been shown to be able to stand and walk upright on its hind legs.

Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}} and/or {{p|Emolga}} 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. In Black and White, male Pikachu have less black covering their ear, though this is 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, [[Viridian Forest]] and the [[Power Plant|Kanto Power Plant]]), although they have been introduced to the [[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.

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==
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|right|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 is the signature Pokémon of the anime series who 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]].

====[[Puka]]====
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 saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

====[[Pikachutwo]]====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. 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.

====Other====
[[James]] used a {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|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.

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!]]'' belonging to [[Nurse Joy]] to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time. They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.

Multiple Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

[[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.

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 appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' as a {{m|Transform|transformation}} of {{OBP|Mew|M08}}.

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|Aura Guardian]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|right|thumb|right|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:Coin Pikachu Holon Phantoms.png|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 {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!}}, where it is given by [[Club Master Isaac]] to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
Two Pikachu figures 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|250px|right|$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.
* Pikachu, along with {{p|Lapras}} are said to be [[Veronica Taylor]]'s favorite Pokémon.
* 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. This is still depicted in its front sprites from {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} as well as in the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon by National Dex order to be related to a Pokémon from another generation: Pichu.
* Pikachu is the first Electric type in the National Dex.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon by National Dex order who evolves via [[evolutionary stone]].
* According to [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]], Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.

==={{game|Yellow}}-related trivia===
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|thumb|right|Pikachu's status screen in Pokémon Yellow.]]
* Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} are the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to be {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}.
* 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 main series starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game in which it is a starter Pokémon.
* Pikachu is 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 also be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.
* Pikachu is the only main series starter Pokémon that is not in its base evolutionary form. However, this wasn't true during the [[Generation I|generation it was a starter in]], as {{p|Pichu}}, its pre-evolved form, wasn't revealed until [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Its [[species]] name suggests that it is based on a {{wp|mouse}}. Despite its name, it bears little resemblance to the {{wp|pika}}. Its ears do bear similarity to those of other {{wp|lagomorphs}}, however.

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

'''Ekans''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボ''' ''Arbo'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Arbok}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This reptilian Pokémon is {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}}. It has a rattle at the tip of its tail, and is mostly purple while its underbelly, eyes, rattle, and the "bands" on it are yellow.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Ekans are able to detach their jaws to {{m|swallow}} large prey whole, although this makes their bodies heavy. It can also use its tongue to sense danger, and can move quietly through the grass. Ekans was also shown in [[M02|the second movie]] to possess some swimming abilities.

===Behavior===
Like actual snakes, Ekans will lash out with a {{m|bite}} when frightened by anything it sees as a threat. If one happens to be bitten by a young Ekans, they are lucky. As an Ekans, it does not possess the ability to add venom to its bite until after it evolves into an Arbok, though this last bit of information clashes with Ekans's dungeon phrase.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Ekans live in grassy savannas and plains. It also inhabits cemeteries. It is normally found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but has been encountered in [[Sinnoh]] on rare occasions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Ekans' favorite food is Eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jessie Ekans.png|right|thumb|210px|Ekans in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Ekans]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Ekans, which for most of the {{series|Original}}, was her only Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} just to make her happy.

====Other====
[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Ekans in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''.

Ekans was part of "Team Meanies" in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' Special. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all the Berries Team Go-Getters collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities in the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reairings of the episode.

===Minor appearances===
An Ekans appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

Multiple Ekans also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

An Ekans was one of the sick Pokémon in a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[EP164|Carrying On!]]''.

Ekans made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Koga Ekans Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Ekans as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Jessie's Arbok}}
Jessie's Arbok appears as both an Ekans and as an {{p|Arbok}} in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It only appears as an Ekans in the seventh chapter of the manga, ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Ekans Brothers}}
A pair of Ekans, the [[Ekans Brothers]], are part of the supporting cast in the manga [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. Led by {{MPJ|Arbok}}, they are originally antagonists, but later they befriend the main characters when Arbok gets a crush on {{MPJ|Wigglytuff}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Koga]] has an Ekans in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. [[Harry]] of the Team Rocket Elite Trio also has one.

An Ekans was also one of the Pokémon pitted against {{adv|Gold}} when he offered to help out at the {{pkmn|Day Care}} near [[Goldenrod City]].

==Trivia==
[[File:023Ekans RG.png|thumb|200px|right|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of Ekans from {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Ekans was originally known as "Arbo". This is, of course, its romanized Japanese name.
* An Ekans was originally going to be featured in {{g|Snap}}, shown in an early test shot of an environment that was never featured in the final product. This is also true of its evolution, Arbok.
* Ekans is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* In early official art of Ekans, it was shown having all of the bands on its body being yellow, as opposed to just one. This was removed when later official artwork was released.
* The curving line in front of Ekans's eyes, when seen from above, looks like the pattern of the {{wp|Spectacled Cobra}}.
* Despite in-game text stating that young Ekans's bites are the least dangerous because they don't have any poison, in real-life, young snakes' bites are the most dangerous, because not only can they secrete venom, but they inject all of their venom in a single bite due to their inability to control their {{wp|Pulmonary alveolus|alveoli}}.
* Ekans is the first pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in the National Pokédex order.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon a boa and {{wp|rattlesnake}}. However, its lack of teeth or venom, ability to swallow large prey, reference to it eating Pokémon eggs and its reaction to threats may mean it might have been based on an {{wp|egg-eating snake}}. The yellow "band" at its neck may be a reference to the {{wp|ring-necked snake}}, whose venom is minimal.

===Name origin===
Ekans is ''snake'' spelled backwards.

Arbo is an anagram of ボア ''{{wp|boa}}''.

'''Fearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニドリル''' ''Onidrill'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Fearow is a large, mostly brown {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|bird}} Pokémon with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed beak that is pink in coloration, and a decorative red {{wp|coxcomb (ornithology)|coxcomb}} tops its head. Its intense-looking eyes have very small pupils, and do not appear to have colored irises. It has shaggy feathers on the base of its neck and in a vaguely cape-like pattern covering the upper portion of its wings. The cape itself is cream in color, as are the tips of its flight feathers. Its sharp-clawed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Fearow have large, strong beaks, allowing them to use strong attacks such as {{m|Drill Peck}}, {{m|Fury Attack}} and the rarely seen {{m|Drill Run}}, with the latter allowing it to fight off {{t|Electric}} types. Like most avian Pokémon, they can use a wide variety of {{m|Aerial Ace|aerial}} and {{m|Whirlwind|wind-based}} moves. They can also {{m|fly}} very quickly and elegantly when it senses danger. These birds have solid stamina, allowing them to fly for an entire day without rest.

===Behavior===
Fearow builds its nest on highly elevated areas; they are commonly seen on the peaks of rock spires near canyons. Very tall trees can make useful substitute positions for their nests. They are territorial and quick to anger, often attacking those who tread too near to their nests.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Fearow naturally live in badlands consisting of rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. Its natural range includes [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Fearow are vicious predators and swoop down from above, grabbing their prey and taking it to their nests. They generally eat bugs and rodents, as they prefer to avoid any type of plant. As Fearow have been known to attack {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Rattata}}, and {{p|Pidgey}}, it is presumed that they may prey on these Pokémon. Fearow also eat Pokémon food.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP081|Fearow|Ash's Pokédex|Fearow, the Beak Pokémon. The evolved form of {{p|Spearow}}. Its large, powerful wings allow it to {{m|fly}} for an entire day. The crushing power of its beak is tremendous.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Fearow EToP.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Ash's Fearow]] in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Fearow}}
{{Ash}} owns a Fearow in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It was given the nickname "Fearless" in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''.

Ash captured Fearow in the first chapter, ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''. It was his first capture (besides {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was not technically captured in a [[Poké Ball]] in the manga). Ash sometimes has trouble getting Fearow to obey him.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Fearow debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when a wild one kidnaps a mutated [[Bill]]. It was a tough old bird, able to swiftly dodge [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunder Wave}} and [[Poli]]'s {{m|Ice Beam}} (humorously causing Bill to get hit with the attacks), and even survived a {{m|Thunder}} from the former, after which it uses {{m|Drill Peck}}. Poli, however, was narrowly able to counter the move by using {{m|Double Team}} and landed a powerful {{t|Ice}} attack to incapacitate it at last. Red catches it afterwards, much to the shock of Bill.

{{adv|Professor Oak}} also owns a Fearow that evolved from his surprisingly formidable {{p|Spearow}} sometime prior to the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}.

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Rin and Ran|Ran]] has a pair of Fearow she used to attack [[Shū]] in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]]

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IV]], Fearow weighs as much as the {{ga|Lucas|male protagonist}} of the game, Lucas. It shares this characteristic with {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and {{p|Yanma}}.
* In [[Generation III]], it was the only Pokémon who could not learn {{m|Aerial Ace}} by leveling up while its pre-evolution could.
* The English names of the {{p|Spearow}} family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and Fearow, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
Fearow doesn't seem to be directly based on any particular bird species, instead taking inspiration from many soaring, predatory birds. It has traits similar to raptors such as {{wp|hawks}} and {{wp|vultures}}, as well as similarities with {{wp|storks}}. Its physical appearance may be vaguely based on a {{wp|cormorant}} or an {{wp|anhinga}}, despite the fact that they are water birds. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|chickens}} and {{wp|snipe}}, most notably its comb and long beak, respectively. Its coloration and size also resembles the {{wp|Goliath Heron}}, whose feathers when ruffled look superficially like a cockscomb.

====Name origin====
Fearow is a combination of ''fear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}'' or ''arrow''. It may also derive from ''feather''.

Onidrill is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and ''drill'', although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 ''onidori'' (demon bird).

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=normal|type2=flying
|ja=オニドリル ''Onidrill''|jameaning=From {{tt|鬼 ''oni''|demon}} and ''drill''
|fr=Rapasdepic|frmeaning=From ''{{tt|rapace|predatory}}'' and ''{{tt|piquer|to swoop}}''. Effectively translates as "Swooping predator"
