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

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

====Name origin====

Both the ''sa'' and ''zan'' in Sazandra's name seem to come from 三 ''sa''/''san'', or three, a reference to its three heads. The ''dra'' in Sazandra's name comes from either ''dragon'' or ''hydra'', also a reference to its three heads in the form of a hydra's.

'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[trade]]d. It is {{p|Abra|Abra's}} final form.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Alakazam is characterized by its human-like structure and its large moustache. It has grown slightly since evolving from {{p|Kadabra}} and has become much more lanky. Alakazam now has brown sections over its forearms and knees. It has lost the {{wp|Zener cards|Zener markings}} and its tail which it had as a Kadabra, and its head (and more importantly, its brain) has become much larger, giving it extremely powerful mental powers. It is bipedal with three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw, and an extremely prominent mustache (which is less prominent in females - see below). It wields a silver spoon in each hand which acts as an amplifier for its {{stat|Special Attack|special abilities}}.

====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

===Special abilities===
It is said that Alakazam is known to have mastered every type and form of psychic ability, including, but not limited to, telekinesis, telepathy, ESP, psionic abilities, levitation, defensive techniques, mind control, and telekinetic blasts. Alakazam are said to have excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} upon hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000, making it the most intelligent non-legendary Pokémon. Upon possessing amazing psychic skills and knowledge, Alakazam is proficient with the use of the elemental punches, giving it the ability to cause serious damage on any foe that resist it's psychic moves. Although Alakazam is quite fragile and prefers to use it's psychic abilities for movement and battle, it is quite capable of learning a broad range of fighting moves. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Alakazam is capable of using the moves {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
Alakazam, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Each Alakazam carries two spoons everywhere it goes. These spoons are said to increase this Pokémon's psychic ability greatly.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Alakazam live in urban areas, close to humans. They are mostly found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. Its home range is the same as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Kadabra}}.

==Trivia==
*Alakazam has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Porygon-Z}} and Urugamoth.
*Alakazam weighs less than its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}. Its Pokédex entries offer a possible explanation as to why this is: Alakazam's brain increases in size upon evolution so that it has to move its body using psychic energy, which would cause its muscles to weaken and atrophy because it never uses them.
*Although it doesn't have a tail, Alakazam is able to learn the move {{m|Iron Tail}}, possibly due to its pre-evolutions having tails.
*Despite being said to have weak muscles (as well as a low {{stat|Attack|Attack stat}}), Alakazam has been seen using physical attacks, such as {{m|Focus Punch|punching}}, many times in the anime, [[Anime physics|usually to great effect]].
*Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. They are both in all regional Pokédexes. Their evolutionary families are next to each other in the national dex.
* Every other letter in Alakazam's name is a vowel; they are all A.
* Alakazam has the lowest average Performance of any fully-evolved Pokémon, and third lowest overall, only beaten by {{p|Gulpin}} (second) and {{p|Feebas}} (first).
*In {{2v|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* Despite its Pokédex entries saying that it remembers everything it learns, it is capable of forgeting moves it has learned in the games. However this is only due to the four move limit set in the games.

===Origin===
Alakazam's spoons are a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind. See the article on {{p|Kadabra}} for more information.
Like {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Kadabra}}, Alakazam shares physical traits with {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Alakazam's name is another incantation used in [[wp:magic (illusion)|stage magic]], similar to ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name can be spelled ''Houdin'', and is probably a reference to {{wp|Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin}} or {{wp|Harry Houdini}}, who were both famous magicians.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Simsala - In German, the phrase goes "Abra, Kadabra, Simsala(bim)" instead of Alakazam at the end.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Alakazam
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 후딘 ''Hudin''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 胡地 ''Hú Dì'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[trade]]d. It is {{p|Abra|Abra's}} final form.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Alakazam is characterized by its human-like structure and its large moustache. It has grown slightly since evolving from {{p|Kadabra}} and has become much more lanky. Alakazam now has brown sections over its forearms and knees. It has lost the {{wp|Zener cards|Zener markings}} and its tail which it had as a Kadabra, and its head (and more importantly, its brain) has become much larger, giving it extremely powerful mental powers. It is bipedal with three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw, and an extremely prominent mustache (which is less prominent in females - see below). It wields a silver spoon in each hand which acts as an amplifier for its {{stat|Special Attack|special abilities}}.

====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

===Special abilities===
It is said that Alakazam is known to have mastered every type and form of psychic ability, including, but not limited to, telekinesis, telepathy, ESP, psionic abilities, levitation, defensive techniques, mind control, and telekinetic blasts. Alakazam are said to have excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} upon hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000, making it the most intelligent non-legendary Pokémon. Upon possessing amazing psychic skills and knowledge, Alakazam is proficient with the use of the elemental punches, giving it the ability to cause serious damage on any foe that resist it's psychic moves. Although Alakazam is quite fragile and prefers to use it's psychic abilities for movement and battle, it is quite capable of learning a broad range of fighting moves. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Alakazam is capable of using the moves {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
Alakazam, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Each Alakazam carries two spoons everywhere it goes. These spoons are said to increase this Pokémon's psychic ability greatly.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Alakazam live in urban areas, close to humans. They are mostly found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. Its home range is the same as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Kadabra}}.

==Trivia==
*Alakazam has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
*Alakazam weighs less than its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}. Its Pokédex entries offer a possible explanation as to why this is: Alakazam's brain increases in size upon evolution so that it has to move its body using psychic energy, which would cause its muscles to weaken and atrophy because it never uses them.
*Although it doesn't have a tail, Alakazam is able to learn the move {{m|Iron Tail}}, possibly due to its pre-evolutions having tails.
*Despite being said to have weak muscles (as well as a low {{stat|Attack|Attack stat}}), Alakazam has been seen using physical attacks, such as {{m|Focus Punch|punching}}, many times in the anime, [[Anime physics|usually to great effect]].
*Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. They are both in all regional Pokédexes. Their evolutionary families are next to each other in the national dex.
* Every other letter in Alakazam's name is a vowel; they are all A.
* Alakazam has the lowest average Performance of any fully-evolved Pokémon, and third lowest overall, only beaten by {{p|Gulpin}} (second) and {{p|Feebas}} (first).
*In {{2v|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* Despite its Pokédex entries saying that it remembers everything it learns, it is capable of forgeting moves it has learned in the games. However this is only due to the four move limit set in the games.

===Origin===
Alakazam's spoons are a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind. See the article on {{p|Kadabra}} for more information.
Like {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Kadabra}}, Alakazam shares physical traits with {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Alakazam's name is another incantation used in [[wp:magic (illusion)|stage magic]], similar to ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name can be spelled ''Houdin'', and is probably a reference to {{wp|Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin}} or {{wp|Harry Houdini}}, who were both famous magicians.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Simsala - In German, the phrase goes "Abra, Kadabra, Simsala(bim)" instead of Alakazam at the end.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Alakazam
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 후딘 ''Hudin''

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{p|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{p|Magneton}} or {{p|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{p|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

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

====Special abilities====
Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{p|Alakazam}}. As a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, it can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together. Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Possessing four brains, Metagross is an extremely wise Pokemon. However, it is known to be a vicious predator-using its weight, it traps its prey under its body and devours them. Some are very aggressive and territorial of their homes and will not hesitate to attack intruders that trespass uninvited.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[File:MetagrossAnime.png|thumb|right|250px|Metagross in the anime]]
Metagross was first seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mo|Rebecca}}.

Metagross's anime debut was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

A wild {{shiny}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked [[Team Rocket]]. It [[Anime move errors|somehow knew]] how to {{m|Lock-On}} to its target, despite the species being incapable of knowing this move.

A wild Metagross appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Magnezone}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{p|Metang}} and many {{p|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

{{main|Metagross (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Metagross.png|220px|right|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta, however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

==Trivia==
* Metagross has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Metagross is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Metagross has several differences with other [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
** Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that does not have a 4× weakness.
** In addition, it also has the most type resistances out of the five pseudo-legendaries, with a total of 8.
** Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary that cannot learn any {{type2|Dragon}} moves.
** Unlike the other pseudo-legendaries, it does not resemble a reptilian lifeform.
** Metagross is the only genderless pseudo-legendary.
** Metagross's evolutionary line is the only pseudo-legendary that cannot be caught in the wild in the generation which it was introduced. It's also the only Pokémon whose first evolutionary stage (Beldum) has never been available before defeating the Champion.
* Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution the earliest of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Despite Metagross is known to levitate and move while airborne using its telekinesis powers, it does not possess the ability {{a|Levitate}}, nor can it learn {{m|Fly}}.
* Metagross has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of any Steel-type and the third highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}} (i.e. highest Attack of all non-legendary {{type2|Psychic}}).
*Metagross has the highest Attack out of all the pseudo-legendaries, tied with Salamence and has the highest base Defense.
* Metagross is the fifth heaviest Pokémon, and the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] of all non-legendary Pokémon.
* Metagross and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] with a [[catch rate]] of 3.

===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}.

====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its weight (1212 pounds), or the same German word that means ''big''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Metagross
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Metalosse
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메타그로스 ''Metagross''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨金怪 ''Jù Jīn Guài'' - Literally "Giant metal monster".

She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chansey}} via [[happiness]]. She is the final form of {{p|Happiny}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blissey has a large egg shaped body, one half pink and the other white. She has small fluffy ears and wing-like appendages at the end of her small arms, she seems she has lost her tail she had as a Chansey. She also has a pink pouch on her belly with an egg inside.

====Gender differences====
Blissey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
It is said that anyone who takes one bite of a Blissey's egg will become unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone.

Blissey, and her pre-evolved form, {{p|Chansey}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Softboiled}} naturally. However, {{p|Mew}} could learn it from a TM in [[Generation I]], while members of the {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Togepi}} families can be tutored the move in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Smeargle}} can also {{m|Sketch}} the move.

===Behavior===
Blissey is an extremely compassionate [[Pokémon]] by nature. If it sees a sick Pokémon, it will attempt to nurse the injured Pokémon back to health. Blissey's fluffy fur allows it to sense feelings of sadness. Upon sensing any sadness, this Pokémon will race to the source of the sadness, no matter the distance, and share its egg of happiness that instantly makes a person smile.

==Trivia==
* Of all Pokémon, Blissey's HP [[base stats|base stat]] is the highest, at 255, giving it the ability to have the highest HP of any other Pokémon in the games (with a total of 714 HP if 252 HP EVs are added and if it has 31 HP IVs).
** Blissey's HP base stat is the highest base single stat, out of all Pokémon.
*** Blissey's HP base stat of 255 is the highest base stat possible, as all base stats are a single byte, the maximum value of which is 255 (1111 1111).
* Blissey has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Arceus}} and Blissey's pre-evolutions, {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Chansey}}.
* Blissey, and its evolution family, Happiny and Chansey, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Lucky Punch}}, {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}, {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}} and the {{evostone|Oval Stone}}.
** Coincidentally, three of them have the word "luck" in their names, Possibly refering to the fact one needs luck to catch a Chansey in the wild.
* Blissey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Togetic}}. They are both known as Happiness Pokémon.
* In [[Generation III]], Blissey learns a move earlier than its pre-evolved form, Chansey. Chansey learns {{m|Egg Bomb}} at level 35, whilst Blissey learns it at level 28.
* Blissey has the highest Special Defense of all Normal-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
It may be based on a nurse. Design-wise, it appears to have some physical similarities to [[Nurse Joy]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} in both color and hair.

====Name origin====
Blissey's name comes from the word ''bliss'', as in happiness, and from the ending suffix of its pre-evolution, {{p|Chansey}}.

''Happinas'' may be a combination of ''happiness'' and ''nurse'' or just be a corruption of ''happiness''. "Nasu" also means {{wp|eggplant}} in Japanese, which may be a pun on the egg theme of this evolutionary line.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Heiteira - From ''heiter'' (happy) and ''Ei'' (egg).

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Deoxys is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it has four different forms. In [[Generation III]], its form depends on what game is being played. In [[Generation IV]], its form can be changed at will in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.

Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[National Pokédex]] within [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image: Deoxys regenerating.png|thumb|right|225px|Deoxys regenerating]]
Deoxys has four Formes, each with a different appearance. The main components that are constant for all four Formes are a dominant reddish orange color, with a bluish-green face and accents on the body. There is always a purple stripe on the face where a nose would be, its eyes are white and circular, and it has a purple crystalline organ in its chest. In the movie [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]], there is a second Deoxys that has a green crystalline organ and stripe on its face. Other color varieties, if any besides the green and purple varieties, are unknown.

The Normal Forme has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its abdomen. It has also been seen with two cord-like tentacles (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears" and a short tail. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the middle meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.
[[Image:Aurora.png|thumb|225px|The aurora that Deoxys lets off]]
The Attack Forme has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Forme, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the southeast meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.

The Defense Forme has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that can't be twisted and hang down to the ground when not defending Deoxys. Deoxys' head has been fused with its body, resembling a helmet. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the southwest meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.

The Speed Forme has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin," allowing for better aerodynamics and faster movement. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the northernmost meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.
====Gender differences====
Deoxys is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Aurora at Night.png|thumb|right|225px|The aurora at night]]
Deoxys mostly has the ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle. Deoxys can also regenerate any part of its body that it may have lost during a battle. It appears that as long as its crystal is intact, it can regenerate its whole body. In the anime, Deoxys took four years to regenerate its whole self after being completely wiped out by Rayquaza.

Deoxys can release an Aurora every time it changes its forme. In the Movie ''Destiny Deoxys'', it is shown that Deoxys can create an aurora at will without changing forme, and can communicate with other Deoxys with different aurora wavelengths.

In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes, have dulled-down colors, lack of the trademark crystal on the chest and appear to be unable to use other Formes besides Normal Forme. Unlike Normal Forme for a non-clone Deoxys, clones appear to only use its "tentacles" rather than the hands its tentacles can morph into. When these clones are defeated, they dissolve into shiny dust-like particles.

===Behavior===
Deoxys tend to keep to themselves, but befriend humans they trust.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Deoxys was a virus resting in a stray meteor, and while it flew through the atmosphere, the virus mutated into the first known Deoxys.

{{mov|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to [[LaRousse City]] to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's {{stat|Speed}} Forme debuted.

A Deoxys appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' in all of its formes.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Deoxys (Adventures)}}
Deoxys plays a major role in the events of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. During the disaster in the previous chapter, [[Team Rocket]] infiltrated the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and stole a virus that had been exposed to a laser beam while in space, then ended up attached to a meteorite. In their care, the virus split into two entities and developed into two separate Deoxys, appropriately named Entities 1 and 2. While the leaders of Team Rocket stayed on in [[Hoenn]], other members took the two Deoxys back to Kanto. The team transporting the Deoxys were startled when the Deoxys began to change forme (as Normal and Speed forms had been previously documented) and Entity Two took advantage of this and escaped, accidentally absorbing some of {{adv|Red}}'s blood in the escape. [[Giovanni]] used the weaker Entity One to capture {{adv|Green}}'s parents and [[Professor Oak]]. Red was tricked into battling Entity Two, who defeated him but was captured by Giovanni. Around this time, Team Rocket managed to duplicate the climate of [[Hoenn]] and allowed Deoxys to transform into all of its formes. Giovanni used Entity Two to locate his son, {{adv|Silver}} and set out for [[Viridian City]]. Red came to Giovanni, and challenged him with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Ultimately triumphing due to [[Bill]] shutting down the Hoenn climate machine on [[Chrono Island]], Giovanni revealed that he disposed of Entity One and {{adv|Yellow}} used her abilities to inform Red of his link to Deoxys. When one of the Team Rocket members tried to usurp control, Deoxys transported Giovanni, Silver, Yellow, and Mewtwo out of harm's way before helping Red to regain control of the ship. As the disaster ended and all of the protagonists reunited, [[Sird]] tried to capture Deoxys, but ended up turning the heroes to stone. Entity Two then sped towards a [[Sinnoh|distant region]] in hopes of being allowed to freely transfer between formes and locating Entity One.

===In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Deoxys plays a large part in a [[DPAS1|Special Chapter]] of Volume 3 in the series. [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] are in [[Veilstone City]]. They come upon the large meteorite, and Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a {{p|Drifloon}}. A {{p|Murkrow}} flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a {{p|Bibarel}}'s stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Mars]] and some grunts saw the crash, and begin to battle it. It, of course, defeats Team Galactic's puny Pokémon. [[Professor Rowan]] shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off what seems to be a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any madder, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks it what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Hyper Beam at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. {{P|Onix}} tries to {{M|Headbutt}} it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of {{P|Kricketune}} to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Hyper Beam, but it hits a {{P|Drifloon}}. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:SSBB Deoxys.png|220px|thumb|Deoxys in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
An Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes be released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It floats gently towards the top of the screen. It will spin gracefully and begin to glow. When fully facing the front, it will cast a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying.

====Trophy Information====
''A DNA Pokémon born through the mutation of the DNA of a space virus. It has multiple formes, and the abilities it possesses and the techniques it can remember change from form to form. It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].''

==Trivia==
* The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of any non-glitch Pokémon; although {{p|Marowak}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} achieves a higher absolute {{stat|Attack}} stat (504 vs. 568, respectively).
** Likewise, the Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon.
** Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Pokémon, on par with {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Carvanha}}.
* The Defense Forme of Deoxys has the highest base Defense and Special Defense of any Psychic-type Pokémon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Generation IV]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.
* Deoxys is the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], yet it was first found in the wild in a [[Kanto]]-based game. Likewise, the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], {{p|Mew}}, was first found (legitimately) wild in a {{game3|Emerald|Hoenn-based game}}.
* When recruited in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld, however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
* Although Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the National Pokédex in the Generation III, it was not the Pokémon with the highest [[index number]]: this was {{p|Chimecho}}.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music. The second Pokémon to have its own unique music was {{p|Arceus}}, followed by {{p|Giratina}}, the latter in Platinum only, which was then followed by {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver. All other [[legendary Pokémon]] share battle themes with at least one other.
** However, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou's battle music was done with different instruments; Suicune's uses bells, Entei's uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's is synthesized. This only applies in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} and in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
* Deoxys and {{p|Wormadam}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
* Using the first letter from the names of three of Deoxys' formes, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, '''A'''ttack). The letter "s" at the ending of Deoxys's name could stand for '''S'''peed
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
* Due to the cause of Forme change in Generation III being the game Deoxys is in, ''only'' Speed Forme Deoxys is banned from the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, as only Speed Forme Deoxys is obtainable in Emerald.
* The Attack Forme and Normal Forme of Deoxys are the only Pokemon in the game that surpass Arceus in more than 2 base stats. Both Formes surpass it in Attack, Speed, and Special Attack.

===Events===
* Because of the results of a poll among fans, Deoxys was given away along with pre-ordered tickets to Japanese theater showings of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}, a reference to the fact that Deoxys's first appearance in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' is at the north pole.
* In 2008, Deoxys was distributed in the United States at GameStop locations on June 20-22, and June 27-29. It knows {{m|Psycho Boost}}, {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, and {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} and holds a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}.
* A UK event in 2005 known as "The Hunt for Deoxys" was held at Vue cinemas for two days each across the country, where players of FireRed and LeafGreen were able to download the AuroraTicket. Players could also try out {{Pokémon XD}} and {{game|Emerald}}.

===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens and visual representations of the DNA double helix.

====Name origin====
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''{{wp|DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid}}'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms. It was also mentioned in [[M07|the 7th movie]] that [[Professor Lund]] gave it the name Deoxys.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Deoxys
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 테오키스 ''Teokis''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 代歐奇希斯 ''Dài Ōu Qí Xī Sī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which has not yet been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] and can currently only be obtained by cheating. However, Arceus itself was once distributed at {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} stores in the United States and Puerto Rico from November 7 to November 15, 2009.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body color is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

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

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is {{a|Multitype|multifarious}}; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates, but is seen in the games holding a Rowap Berry

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus' body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]'', along with the [[dragon trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Encounter Arceus HGSS Special.png|thumb|right|Gold encountering Arceus]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Exbo]]'s powerful {{m|Blast Burn}} attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

A few rounds later, it is revealed that it showed up in front of {{adv|Crystal}} and the [[Team Rocket]] Executives, and the former tried to catch it.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
*At level 80, Arceus is the second-highest level Pokémon available for capture, after the {{p|Magikarp}} in the [[Resort Area]] in {{game|Platinum}} (which can be caught at any level). However, the [[Azure Flute]] needed to encounter it has never been made officially available.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{t|???}} type. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{a|Color Change}} and {{m|Transform}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the moves ever obtainable as [[HM]]s. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that it "was no miracle" that they were saved, and that a "greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, of which Dialga is a member.

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) the bodhisattva {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a [[wp:Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation]] (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''. Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards. Zeus being the king of gods and ''Ra'' being the solar god and creator (albeit in different pantheons). Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a [[wp:creator deity|creator deity]] in Pokémon form.

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" (or "s" sound) by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" (or "k" sound) in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] as of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009.

Arceus is also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which has not yet been distributed [[Nintendo event|officially]] and can currently only be obtained by cheating. However, Arceus itself was once distributed at {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} stores in the United States and Puerto Rico from November 7 to November 15, 2009.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body color is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

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

====Special abilities====
[[File:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is {{a|Multitype|multifarious}}; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also the only non-Dragon-type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates, but is seen in the games holding a Rowap Berry

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen nor named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus' body to appear around their bodies.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]'', along with the [[dragon trio]].

==In the manga==
[[Image:Encounter Arceus HGSS Special.png|thumb|right|Gold encountering Arceus]]Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Exbo]]'s powerful {{m|Blast Burn}} attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

A few rounds later, it is revealed that it showed up in front of {{adv|Crystal}} and the [[Team Rocket]] Executives, and the former tried to catch it.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

[[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[File:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{pkmn2|Shiny}} sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
*At level 80, Arceus is the second-highest level Pokémon available for capture, after the {{p|Magikarp}} in the [[Resort Area]] in {{game|Platinum}} (which can be caught at any level). However, the [[Azure Flute]] needed to encounter it has never been made officially available.
* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon.
** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{t|???}} type. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all, nor can it learn hand-based or arm-based moves.
* Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{a|Color Change}} and {{m|Transform}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]], needing the [[Azure Flute]] to be encountered in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
* Arceus is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the moves ever obtainable as [[HM]]s. The two others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that it "was no miracle" that they were saved, and that a "greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, of which Dialga is a member.
* The Attack Forme and Normal Forme of Deoxys are the only Pokemon in the game that surpass Arceus in more than 2 base stats. Both Formes surpass it in Attack, Speed, and Special Attack.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) the bodhisattva {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavor text) or in a [[wp:Chenrezig|white four-armed manifestation]] (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).

Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''. Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest). Another theory may be the combination of Zeus and Ra spelled backwards. Zeus being the king of gods and ''Ra'' being the solar god and creator (albeit in different pantheons). Those two qualities are shared by the Pokémon. Nevertheless, Arceus's name origin and possible theories have led fans to believe that Arceus may be in fact a [[wp:creator deity|creator deity]] in Pokémon form.

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" (or "s" sound) by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" (or "k" sound) in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 阿爾宙斯 ''Ā Ěr Zhòu Sī'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name. 宙斯 also refers to {{wp|Zeus}}.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Deoxys is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it has four different forms. In [[Generation III]], its form depends on what game is being played. In [[Generation IV]], its form can be changed at will in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.

Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[National Pokédex]] within [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image: Deoxys regenerating.png|thumb|right|225px|Deoxys regenerating]]
Deoxys has four Formes, each with a different appearance. The main components that are constant for all four Formes are a dominant reddish orange color, with a bluish-green face and accents on the body. There is always a purple stripe on the face where a nose would be, its eyes are white and circular, and it has a purple crystalline organ in its chest. In the movie [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]], there is a second Deoxys that has a green crystalline organ and stripe on its face. Other color varieties, if any besides the green and purple varieties, are unknown.

The Normal Forme has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its abdomen. It has also been seen with two cord-like tentacles (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears" and a short tail. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the middle meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.
[[Image:Aurora.png|thumb|225px|The aurora that Deoxys lets off]]
The Attack Forme has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Forme, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the southeast meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.

The Defense Forme has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that can't be twisted and hang down to the ground when not defending Deoxys. Deoxys' head has been fused with its body, resembling a helmet. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the southwest meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.

The Speed Forme has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin," allowing for better aerodynamics and faster movement. In [[Generation IV]], this Forme is obtained by touching the northernmost meteorite in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.
====Gender differences====
Deoxys is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[File:Aurora at Night.png|thumb|right|225px|The aurora at night]]
Deoxys mostly has the ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle. Deoxys can also regenerate any part of its body that it may have lost during a battle. It appears that as long as its crystal is intact, it can regenerate its whole body. In the anime, Deoxys took four years to regenerate its whole self after being completely wiped out by Rayquaza.

Deoxys can release an Aurora every time it changes its forme. In the Movie ''Destiny Deoxys'', it is shown that Deoxys can create an aurora at will without changing forme, and can communicate with other Deoxys with different aurora wavelengths.

In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes, have dulled-down colors, lack of the trademark crystal on the chest and appear to be unable to use other Formes besides Normal Forme. Unlike Normal Forme for a non-clone Deoxys, clones appear to only use its "tentacles" rather than the hands its tentacles can morph into. When these clones are defeated, they dissolve into shiny dust-like particles.

===Behavior===
Deoxys tend to keep to themselves, but befriend humans they trust.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Deoxys was a virus resting in a stray meteor, and while it flew through the atmosphere, the virus mutated into the first known Deoxys.

{{mov|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to [[LaRousse City]] to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's {{stat|Speed}} Forme debuted.

A Deoxys appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' in all of its formes.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Deoxys (Adventures)}}
Deoxys plays a major role in the events of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. During the disaster in the previous chapter, [[Team Rocket]] infiltrated the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and stole a virus that had been exposed to a laser beam while in space, then ended up attached to a meteorite. In their care, the virus split into two entities and developed into two separate Deoxys, appropriately named Entities 1 and 2. While the leaders of Team Rocket stayed on in [[Hoenn]], other members took the two Deoxys back to Kanto. The team transporting the Deoxys were startled when the Deoxys began to change forme (as Normal and Speed forms had been previously documented) and Entity Two took advantage of this and escaped, accidentally absorbing some of {{adv|Red}}'s blood in the escape. [[Giovanni]] used the weaker Entity One to capture {{adv|Green}}'s parents and [[Professor Oak]]. Red was tricked into battling Entity Two, who defeated him but was captured by Giovanni. Around this time, Team Rocket managed to duplicate the climate of [[Hoenn]] and allowed Deoxys to transform into all of its formes. Giovanni used Entity Two to locate his son, {{adv|Silver}} and set out for [[Viridian City]]. Red came to Giovanni, and challenged him with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Ultimately triumphing due to [[Bill]] shutting down the Hoenn climate machine on [[Chrono Island]], Giovanni revealed that he disposed of Entity One and {{adv|Yellow}} used her abilities to inform Red of his link to Deoxys. When one of the Team Rocket members tried to usurp control, Deoxys transported Giovanni, Silver, Yellow, and Mewtwo out of harm's way before helping Red to regain control of the ship. As the disaster ended and all of the protagonists reunited, [[Sird]] tried to capture Deoxys, but ended up turning the heroes to stone. Entity Two then sped towards a [[Sinnoh|distant region]] in hopes of being allowed to freely transfer between formes and locating Entity One.

===In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Deoxys plays a large part in a [[DPAS1|Special Chapter]] of Volume 3 in the series. [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] are in [[Veilstone City]]. They come upon the large meteorite, and Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a {{p|Drifloon}}. A {{p|Murkrow}} flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a {{p|Bibarel}}'s stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Mars]] and some grunts saw the crash, and begin to battle it. It, of course, defeats Team Galactic's puny Pokémon. [[Professor Rowan]] shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off what seems to be a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any madder, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks it what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Hyper Beam at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. {{P|Onix}} tries to {{M|Headbutt}} it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of {{P|Kricketune}} to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Hyper Beam, but it hits a {{P|Drifloon}}. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

An Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes be released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It floats gently towards the top of the screen. It will spin gracefully and begin to glow. When fully facing the front, it will cast a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying.

====Trophy Information====

It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].''

==Trivia==
* The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of any non-glitch Pokémon; although {{p|Marowak}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} achieves a higher absolute {{stat|Attack}} stat (504 vs. 568, respectively).
** Likewise, the Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon.
** Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Pokémon, on par with {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Carvanha}}.
*The Defenses Forme of Deoxys has the highest base Defense and Special Defense of any Psychic-type Pokemon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Generation IV]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] or on {{rt|3}}.
* Deoxys is the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], yet it was first found in the wild in a [[Kanto]]-based game. Likewise, the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]], {{p|Mew}}, was first found (legitimately) wild in a {{game3|Emerald|Hoenn-based game}}.
* When recruited in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld, however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
* Although Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the National Pokédex in the Generation III, it was not the Pokémon with the highest [[index number]]: this was {{p|Chimecho}}.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music. The second Pokémon to have its own unique music was {{p|Arceus}}, followed by {{p|Giratina}}, the latter in Platinum only, which was then followed by {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver. All other [[legendary Pokémon]] share battle themes with at least one other.
** However, Suicune, Entei, and Raikou's battle music was done with different instruments; Suicune's uses bells, Entei's uses an electric guitar, and Raikou's is synthesized. This only applies in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} and in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
* Deoxys and {{p|Wormadam}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
* Using the first letter from the names of three of Deoxys' formes, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, '''A'''ttack). The letter "s" at the ending of Deoxys's name could stand for '''S'''peed
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
* Due to the cause of Forme change in Generation III being the game Deoxys is in, ''only'' Speed Forme Deoxys is banned from the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, as only Speed Forme Deoxys is obtainable in Emerald.

===Events===
* Because of the results of a poll among fans, Deoxys was given away along with pre-ordered tickets to Japanese theater showings of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}, a reference to the fact that Deoxys's first appearance in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' is at the north pole.
* In 2008, Deoxys was distributed in the United States at GameStop locations on June 20-22, and June 27-29. It knows {{m|Psycho Boost}}, {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, and {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} and holds a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}.
* A UK event in 2005 known as "The Hunt for Deoxys" was held at Vue cinemas for two days each across the country, where players of FireRed and LeafGreen were able to download the AuroraTicket. Players could also try out {{Pokémon XD}} and {{game|Emerald}}.

===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens and visual representations of the DNA double helix.

====Name origin====
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''{{wp|DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid}}'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms. It was also mentioned in [[M07|the 7th movie]] that [[Professor Lund]] gave it the name Deoxys.

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エルレイド''' ''Erlade'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from male {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to radiation from a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}}. It is one of
{{p|Ralts}}'s final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gallade have a white lower body that consists of bold rounded hips with strong legs. The torso is thin and colored in a balance between the green of its upper body, and the white of its lower body. Sharp red hornlike protrusions stick out of the chest and back similar to {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gallade's arms are shaped like {{wp|tonfa}}s, with extendable blades in the elbows. His head resembles a gladiator's helmet, with a white face and a light-teal colored head crest. Like his counterpart Gardevoir, Gallade has spikes on the sides of his face.

====Gender differences====
Gallade is male-only. His female counterpart would be Gardevoior though it could be either gender.

====Special abilities====
Gallade, thanks to its arm blades, which he can withdraw and extend to two lengths, can learn a variety of sword-like attacks in several types. These include {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, and the rarely known {{m|Psycho Cut}}. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Gallade can summon {{m|Earthquake}}s, and launch rocks at his opponents (in the forms of {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Rock Tomb}}). It can also learn punching attacks. Since Gallade is a fully-evolved Pokémon, he can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} or {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship, defending the weak from harm.

===Habitat===
Gallade hide up in very tall trees, waiting for trouble to ensue. When the time is right, they leap from their homes to forewarn civilians or fight enemies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gallade.png|thumb|right|210px|Gallade in the anime]]
Gallade made a minor appearance in the 10th movie, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. He led [[Alice]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and [[Brock]] to the area that [[Baron Alberto]] believed {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} had first "infected". He reappeared some time later.

Gallade is set to make his TV episode debut in the episodes featuring the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].



==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Gallade is a member of the legendary Exploration Team, [[Team Raider]], alongside {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Gallade is used by [[Sinis Trio#Ice|Ice]] to protect the blue circuit ball. It was in a three-way boss battle with Heath's {{p|Rhyperior}} and Lavana's {{p|Magmortar}} in the trio's efforts to thwart the player.

==Trivia==
* Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of Gardevoir's.
* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}} and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] is the same: 160. This makes him and his evolution family one of only four families of Pokémon (comprising eleven Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
* Gallade is the last {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Gallade has the same weight as {{p|Blaziken}}, another dual-typed final form {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon with the mentioned type being their secondary type.
* Gallade is the only Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Leaf Blade}} naturally that is not of the {{type|Grass}}.
* Gallade is capable of learning attacking moves of all 17 types.
===Origin===
The single fin on Gallade's head is reminiscent of the {{wp|Murmillo}} helmet worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) which is worn by Greek Hoplites. Therefore, Gallade may be based on a Roman {{wp|gladiator}} or a Greek {{wp|hoplite}}. It could also be reminiscent of a {{wp|knight}}.
====Name origin====
''Gallade'' may be a combination of ''{{wp|gladiator}}'', ''gallant'', and ''blade''. It may also be a reference to ''{{wp|Galahad|Sir Galahad}}''. ''Erlade'' might be a combination of ''{{wp|Earl}}'' (meaning chieftain), or ''elbow'', and ''blade'', referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms.

==In other languages==

* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Gallame - From ''gallant'' and ''lame'' (blade).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 엘레이드 ''Ellade''

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} and its remake, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. They have a somewhat beak-like, ridged mouths, although they have teeth on their lower jaw. Their head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue spikes on them. Lugia have long slender necks and their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has large wings that resemble hands.

====Gender differences====
Lugia is a genderless species. However, unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed (though only in the anime), suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia is the leader of the [[legendary birds]]. When the [[legendary Birds]] fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the second Pokémon movie. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. It can shoot incredibly powerful {{m|Aeroblast|beams}} from its mouth when in danger.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been on occassion observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. However, this is only shown in the anime, and whether or not they can breed in the games is still unknown. They are generally known to be peaceful, protective, calm, modest and benevolent; it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans and other Pokémon from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this, contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in controlling world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Lugia usually live very deep on the ocean floor, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto and, when disturbed, flying high in the sky.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Lugia anime.png‎|thumb|right|250px|Lugia in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Lugia (movie 2)]]====
A Lugia was featured in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. Its psychic powers allow it to communicate with humans.

====[[Silver (Johto)]]====
A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]''. and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. It is interesting to note that Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands.

====Other====


===Minor appearances===
Lugia had a very brief cameo in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

A Lugia also appeared in a [[Team Rocket]] fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

==In the manga==
The [[Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the {{chap|Yellow}}. The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item [[Silver Wing]] is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{Adv|Green}}), but both times it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

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

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

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Lugia|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
*Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive normal episodes of the anime.
*Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
*Before the introduction of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
*Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}.
*Despite having connections with water, Lugia is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
*Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
*Lugia was mentioned in the {{wp|And in the End|final episode}} of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}. A patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia."
*Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the highest base special defense of all flying-types.

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}, a dragon who was the Shinto god of the sea, and lived on the ocean's floor.

Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Plesiosaur}} (long neck and swimming ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|lutetium}}'', a silverish element, which in turn is named after ''Lutetia'', the Roman name for {{wp|Paris}}, the city of light. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

Lugia's name may be based off of the Beluga whale, a white whale of the Arctic Ocean whose white coloration, marine habitat, and body shape are similar to Lugia.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} and its remake, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. They have a somewhat beak-like, ridged mouths, although they have teeth on their lower jaw. Their head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue spikes on them. Lugia have long slender necks and their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has large wings that resemble hands.

====Gender differences====
Lugia is a genderless species. However, unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed (though only in the anime), suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia is the leader of the [[legendary birds]]. When the [[legendary Birds]] fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the second Pokémon movie. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. It can shoot incredibly powerful {{m|Aeroblast|beams}} from its mouth when in danger.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been on occassion observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. However, this is only shown in the anime, and whether or not they can breed in the games is still unknown. They are generally known to be peaceful, protective, calm, modest and benevolent; it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans and other Pokémon from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this, contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in controlling world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Lugia usually live very deep on the ocean floor, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto and, when disturbed, flying high in the sky.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Lugia anime.png‎|thumb|right|250px|Lugia in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Lugia (movie 2)]]====
A Lugia was featured in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. Its psychic powers allow it to communicate with humans.

====[[Silver (Johto)]]====
A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]''. and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. It is interesting to note that Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands.

====Other====


===Minor appearances===
Lugia had a very brief cameo in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

A Lugia also appeared in a [[Team Rocket]] fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

==In the manga==
The [[Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the {{chap|Yellow}}. The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item [[Silver Wing]] is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{Adv|Green}}), but both times it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

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

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

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Lugia|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
*Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive normal episodes of the anime.
*Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
*Before the introduction of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
*Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}.
*Despite having connections with water, Lugia is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
*Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
*Lugia was mentioned in the {{wp|And in the End|final episode}} of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}. A patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia."
*Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for highest base special defense of all flying-types.

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}, a dragon who was the Shinto god of the sea, and lived on the ocean's floor.

Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Plesiosaur}} (long neck and swimming ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|lutetium}}'', a silverish element, which in turn is named after ''Lutetia'', the Roman name for {{wp|Paris}}, the city of light. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

Lugia's name may be based off of the Beluga whale, a white whale of the Arctic Ocean whose white coloration, marine habitat, and body shape are similar to Lugia.

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous evolutions, {{P|Chikorita}} and {{P|Bayleef}}, it has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. Also unlike its previous evolutions, its irises are yellow instead of red, and its feet have three toes instead of a single one. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower, with a yellow central pattern and white tips. Meganium has also reverted back to the color it was as a Chikorita, whilst Bayleef's main body color had become a beige-yellow coloration.

====Gender differences====
A female Meganium has shorter stamen.

====Special abilities====
The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

===Behavior===
Meganium appear to be a very benevolent and docile species. In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', Nurse Joy's Meganium was a peacemaker and tried to stop the battle between {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} and a {{p|Tropius}}. It was also shown that Meganium could heal Grovyle prior to the battle, however this may be isolated to {{type2|Grass}}s as Meganium is able to heal hurt or dead plants.

* Meganium shares the same base stats with Venusaur, just in a different order.
===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] has the appearance of a {{wp|sauropod}}, particularly resembling an {{wp|apatosaurus}}, and its flowering counterpart to be a {{wp|Hibiscus}}. Like Tropius, it is clearly resemblant to the {{wp|mokele-mbembe}}.

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Ordile'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Totodile}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Feraligatr are big, bulky, bipedal crocodilian Pokémon, primarily blue in coloration with accentuations of red and yellow. In aspects of coloration, Feraligatr much resembles its preevolution {{P|Croconaw}} with the exception of the vanished ‘animal skin’ pattern. What is probably Feraligatr’s most notable feature, battle-wise, are its large, powerful toothy jaws which are able to cause heavy damage. Three teeth are visible when Feraligatr closes its mouth, two from the lower jaw and one from the upper. Feraligatr has three sets of spikes on its body, which differ in shape from those of Croconaw’s as all of them possess three prongs. The one on its back appears particularly prominent, due to its size and the bulk of Feraligatr’s shoulders. The bisected, V-shaped yellow pattern Feraligatr possessed as a Totodile has reappeared, except being on the lower portion of its body and between its thighs instead of the arms. Feraligatr also have large scales on their arms, tails, and legs, the latter of which give the appearance of pockets. A differing feature of Feraligatr in comparison to its pre-evolutions is that its irises are yellow instead of red and that all its digits have nails.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Along with the usual {{type2|Water}} abilities, Feraligatr's jaws have the ability to lock in place like its pre-evolutions. In combination with their large muscle power, this ability makes them extremely fearsome and brutal.

===Behavior===

Feraligatr are more used to swimming than to walking on land. When this Pokémon does venture out of water, it crawls on all fours in order to move faster. However, when they are hunting or fighting, they are surprisingly agile and fast, due to their powerful hind legs that are used to kick the ground hard and charge. The fact that Feraligatr are cold-blooded Pokémon means that they need to be where they can adjust their body temperatures accordingly. Feraligatr intimidates its foes by opening its huge mouth, although it lacks the actual ability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feraligatr are extremely rare in the wild. They live near water with the rest of their [[evolution]] family.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Feraligatr are card-carrying carnivores. Their preferred hunting method is to hide underwater with only eyes and nostrils above the surface, waiting for prey to come to the water's edge. They attack with a sudden burst of speed and clamp their powerful jaws down on a surprised victim before it has time to react. Once the Feraligatr bites it will lock its jaws, and the prey will be secured. Then, the Feraligatr will violently shake its head and begin to tear off chunks of its prey to swallow.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dp041_waniwani.jpg|thumb|right|[[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Wani-Wani]]====
Wani-Wani is a Feraligatr owned by {{jo|Marina}} which she recived in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' as a {{p|Totodile}}. Its most recent appearence was in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''.

====Other====

==Trivia==
* Feraligatr is the tallest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]], at 7 feet and 7 inches (2.3 meters).
** Feraligatr is also the starter that reaches its final form the earliest, doing so at level 30. Coincidentally, {{p|Totodile}} evolves into its secondary form, {{p|Croconaw}}, at level 18, the latest of any starter Pokémon, tied with {{p|Turtwig}} into {{p|Grotle}}.
*** Feraligatr is also the heaviest fully evolved {{type2|Water}} starter.
* The lack of a vowel between the T and R in Feraligatr is due to the ten character limit on Pokémon names, which also affects {{p|Victreebel}} and [[Sunyshore City]].
* Feraligatr is the only Pokémon to have more than four syllables in its name, with five.
* Feraligatr shares the same base stats with Blastoise, just in a different order.
===Origin===
Like {{p|Totodile}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, Feraligatr is a {{wp|crocodylia}}n. Appearance-wise, it's an {{wp|alligator}}. While {{p|Tyranitar}} vaguely resembles {{wp|Godzilla}}, Feraligatr resembles {{wp|Zilla}}.
====Name origin====
Feraligatr draws its name from a combination of ''feral'' (or possibly ''ferocious'') and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. Its Japanese name may contain 王 ''ō'', king, 皇 ''ō'', emperor, or 大 ''ō'', large, and ''dile'' is a reference to {{wp|crocodile}}s.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Impergator - Combination of ''imperial'' and ''alligator''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Aligatueur - From ''alligator'' and ''tueur'' (killer).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 장크로다일 ''Jangkeurodail''

Bogmire: /* Trivia */

[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|Kanto starter Pokémon artwork]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''beginning Pokémon''; known as '''御三家''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that the player's starter is weakest to, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in their [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-

| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto [[Route 1]] that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game.

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the starter Pokémon's held item is a Berry. This does not apply to the {{ga|Silver|Rival}} when battling him. This is the only series to do so.

In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]], the player is given a chance to acquire a Starter Pokémon from both the Kanto and Hoenn regions. After the player collects all 16 gym badges, Professor Oak will offer the player one Kanto Starter Pokémon at his lab in Pallet Town. After the player defeats {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver]], [[Steven Stone]] will appear in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]]. Talk to Steven and he will give the player one of the Hoenn Starter Pokémon.

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}} (R/S) or {{p|Zigzagoon}}, (E) he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

In Pokémon Emerald, after the player completes the Hoenn Pokédex (besides {{p|Jirachi}} and {{P|Deoxys}}), Professor Birch will allow the player to choose one of the Johto Starter Pokémon.

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

====Side series====
=====[[Orre]]=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{colo color dark}}; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{colo color}}"
|-

|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the double-battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} and {{m|Reflect}}.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]:

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] [[Generation III|(then)]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

===Special starters===
====[[Fiore]]====

{| align="center" style="background: #e04b0c; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #ff965e"
|-
! style="width:80px; background:#ffc2a2; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;" | [[Image:311.png]] '''{{pcolor|Plusle|e04b0c}}'''
! style="width:80px; background:#ffc2a2; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[Image:312.png]] '''{{pcolor|Minun|e04b0c}}'''
|-
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This is the only Pokémon that the player will keep throughout {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. Instead of being a choice based on which Pokémon is more appealing, it is dependent on the player's gender choice, Plusle belonging to [[Solana]] and Minun belonging to [[Lunick]]. Strangely, unlike the starter Pokémon of other regions, neither Plusle nor Minun appear at the start of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]]'s listing. There isn't any real difference between Plusle and Minun and both are used in the same way.

====[[Almia]]====

|}

In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, players accumulate 17 Partner Pokémon, one for each elemental type. The first partner is selected by capturing one of the above three during a mission at [[Vientown#Nabiki Beach|Nabiki Beach]]. The two not selected can be obtained through quests later in the game.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Starter Pokémon poster.jpg|thumb|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon]][[Image:DP starters.jpg|thumb|A postcard that Dawn received from Professor Rowan, depicting the Sinnoh starter Pokémon]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youth can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has starter breeders for each of their {{t|grass}}, {{t|water}}, and {{t|fire}} [[types]]. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starters for new trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* [[Brock]] received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. Her father received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with a {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which only Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Bayleef}}.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, while his rival [[Paul]] owned a {{TP|Ash|Chimchar|Monferno}} and a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, and {{an|Dawn}} herself has the third of Sinnoh's starters, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. This is an imitation of the games: the rival (Paul) has the starter strong against the main character's (Ash) while the partner (Dawn) has the starter weak against the main character's. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', however, Paul releases Chimchar, and Ash captures it, making it the first time since the Johto saga that Ash has had more than one of a region's starters.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is the highest level, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]].
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his Scyther. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her Jigglypuff. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak along with the third Pokédex.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a Rattata that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Ataro|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm later gave him a [[Explotaro|Cyndaquil]].
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Mega|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]].
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a Turtwig from Professor Rowan.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his Chatot, and later he received a Chimchar from Professor Rowan.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her Ponyta, and later she received a Piplup from Professor Rowan.

==Trivia==
*For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
* Of the four {{type2|Fire}} starters, three of them have a Japanese name beginning with ヒ ''hi'': ''Hitokage'', ''Hinoarashi'', and ''Hikozaru''. Those same three have names starting with a ''C'' in the English language versions: {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Chimchar}}, respectively. {{Ash}} also has captured all three, and in the games, all have the same [[base stat]] total: {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 309|309}}.
*Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, and Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s.
*When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
*{{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Chimchar}} are the only main series starters based off of mammals, an echidna, a mouse, and a chimpanzee, respectively.
*Starting in Generation II, all of the fully-evolved starters could learn {{m|Earthquake}}, (except for Venusaur, who could learn it from Generation III onwards), and this set precedent for all later fully-evolved starters.
*The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. Others have differences in either one or both evolutionary levels.
*All of the Generation I starters are based on reptilian creatures. Bulbasaur's family resemble dinosaurs, Charmander's family is based on lizards, and Squirtle's is based on turtles.
**Each set of starters also has at least one reptile.
*The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
*Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
*{{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Cut}}.
*All of the {{type2|Fire}} starters and their evolutions, except Torchic and Combusken, have fire visible on their bodies somewhere at least part of the time.
*All starter Pokémon in the main series besides Pikachu knows a [[Physical move]] and a [[Status move]] when the player first obtains it.
*Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the Player starts out with 2 Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
*{{v2|Diamond}}, {{v2|Pearl}} and {{v|Platinum}}s are the first games where all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.

===Anime similarities===
*Ash has owned all four Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}. All of them except Bulbasaur have evolved since then.
*{{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based off of lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
*{{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based off of turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
*{{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based off of birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

Bogmire: /* Trivia */

[[File:Sugimori Starter artwork.png|thumb|Kanto starter Pokémon artwork]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''beginning Pokémon''; known as '''御三家''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters.

In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that the player's starter is weakest to, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

|- align="center"

|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"

| style="background:#{{poison color}}" | [[Poison (type)|{{color|FFF|Poison}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| {{MS|003|Venusaur}}
| {{pcolor|Venusaur|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MS|006|Charizard}}
| {{pcolor|Charizard|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MS|009|Blastoise}}
| {{pcolor|Blastoise|{{kanto color dark}}}}
|- align="center"
| style="background:#{{grass color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;" | {{t|Grass|{{color|FFF|Grass}}}}
| style="background:#{{poison color}}" | [[Poison (type)|{{color|FFF|Poison}}]]
| style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| style="background:#{{flying color}}" | [[Flying (type)|{{color|FFF|Flying}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in their [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background: #{{kanto color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[Image:Spr_4h_025_m.png]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto [[Route 1]] that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game.

In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the starter Pokémon's held item is a Berry. This does not apply to the {{ga|Silver|Rival}} when battling him. This is the only series to do so.

In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]], the player is given a chance to acquire a Starter Pokémon from both the Kanto and Hoenn regions. After the player collects all 16 gym badges, Professor Oak will offer the player one Kanto Starter Pokémon at his lab in Pallet Town. After the player defeats {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver]], [[Steven Stone]] will appear in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]]. Talk to Steven and he will give the player one of the Hoenn Starter Pokémon.

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}} (R/S) or {{p|Zigzagoon}}, (E) he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

|}

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

In Pokémon Emerald, after the player completes the Hoenn Pokédex (besides {{p|Jirachi}} and {{P|Deoxys}}), Professor Birch will allow the player to choose one of the Johto Starter Pokémon.

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

|}

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

====Side series====
=====[[Orre]]=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{colo color dark}}; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{colo color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background:#{{colo color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;" | [[Image:196.png]] '''{{pcolor|Espeon|{{colo color dark}}}}'''

| style="background:#{{dark color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Dark (type)|{{color|FFF|Dark}}]]
|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the double-battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} and {{m|Reflect}}.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{xd color dark}}; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{xd color}}"
|-

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{dark color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px" | [[Dark (type)|{{color|FFF|Dark}}]]
|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] [[Generation III|(then)]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give him/her one of the Johto starters.

===Special starters===
====[[Fiore]]====

{| align="center" style="background: #e04b0c; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #ff965e"
|-
! style="width:80px; background:#ffc2a2; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;" | [[Image:311.png]] '''{{pcolor|Plusle|e04b0c}}'''
! style="width:80px; background:#ffc2a2; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[Image:312.png]] '''{{pcolor|Minun|e04b0c}}'''
|-
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This is the only Pokémon that the player will keep throughout {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. Instead of being a choice based on which Pokémon is more appealing, it is dependent on the player's gender choice, Plusle belonging to [[Solana]] and Minun belonging to [[Lunick]]. Strangely, unlike the starter Pokémon of other regions, neither Plusle nor Minun appear at the start of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]]'s listing. There isn't any real difference between Plusle and Minun and both are used in the same way.

====[[Almia]]====

{| align="center" style="background: #0c1e44; text-align: center; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #2d4b98"

| style="background:#{{normal color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Normal (type)|{{color|FFF|Normal}}]]
|}

In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, players accumulate 17 Partner Pokémon, one for each elemental type. The first partner is selected by capturing one of the above three during a mission at [[Vientown#Nabiki Beach|Nabiki Beach]]. The two not selected can be obtained through quests later in the game.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Starter Pokémon poster.jpg|thumb|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon]][[Image:DP starters.jpg|thumb|A postcard that Dawn received from Professor Rowan, depicting the Sinnoh starter Pokémon]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youth can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has starter breeders for each of their {{t|grass}}, {{t|water}}, and {{t|fire}} [[types]]. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starters for new trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* [[Brock]] received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. Her father received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with a {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which only Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Bayleef}}.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, while his rival [[Paul]] owned a {{TP|Ash|Chimchar|Monferno}} and a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, and {{an|Dawn}} herself has the third of Sinnoh's starters, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. This is an imitation of the games: the rival (Paul) has the starter strong against the main character's (Ash) while the partner (Dawn) has the starter weak against the main character's. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', however, Paul releases Chimchar, and Ash captures it, making it the first time since the Johto saga that Ash has had more than one of a region's starters.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is the highest level, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]].
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter was his Scyther. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter was her Jigglypuff. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak along with the third Pokédex.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter a Rattata that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter was his [[Ataro|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm later gave him a [[Explotaro|Cyndaquil]].
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Mega|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]].
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a Turtwig from Professor Rowan.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his Chatot, and later he received a Chimchar from Professor Rowan.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her Ponyta, and later she received a Piplup from Professor Rowan.

==Trivia==
*For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females.
* Of the four {{type2|Fire}} starters, three of them have a Japanese name beginning with ヒ ''hi'': ''Hitokage'', ''Hinoarashi'', and ''Hikozaru''. Those same three have names starting with a ''C'' in the English language versions: {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Chimchar}}, respectively. {{Ash}} also has captured all three, and in the games, all have the same [[base stat]] total: {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 309|309}}.
*Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, and Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s.
*When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starters received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starters were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
*{{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Chimchar}} are the only main series starters based off of mammals, an echidna, a mouse, and a chimpanzee, respectively.
*Starting in Generation II, all of the fully-evolved starters could learn {{m|Earthquake}}, (except for Venusaur, who could learn it from Generation III onwards), and this set precedent for all later fully-evolved starters.
*The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. Others have differences in either one or both evolutionary levels.
*All of the Generation I starters are based on reptilian creatures. Bulbasaur's family resemble dinosaurs, Charmander's family is based on lizards, and Squirtle's is based on turtles.
**Each set of starters also has at least one reptile.
*The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
*Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
*{{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Cut}}.
*All of the {{type2|Fire}} starters and their evolutions, except Torchic and Combusken, have fire visible on their bodies somewhere at least part of the time.
*All starter Pokémon in the main series besides Pikachu knows a [[Physical move]] and a [[Status move]] when the player first obtains it.
*Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the Player starts out with 2 Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
*{{v2|Diamond}}, {{v2|Pearl}} and {{v|Platinum}}s are the first games where all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
*Meganium and Feraligatr share the same base stats as Venusaur and Blastoise respectively just in a different order.
*Charizard and Typhlosion have the exact same base stats.

===Anime similarities===
*Ash has owned all four Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}. All of them except Bulbasaur have evolved since then.
*{{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based off of lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
*{{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based off of turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
*{{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based off of birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Deoxys is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it has four different forms. In [[Generation III]], its form depends on what game is being played. In [[Generation IV]], its form can be changed at will in [[Veilstone City]].

Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[National Pokédex]] within [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of {{wp|DNA}}.

===Physiology===
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance. The main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The Normal Forme has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its abdomen. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacles (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears". In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the middle meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Attack Forme has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Forme, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the southeast meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Defense Forme has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys' head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the southwest meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Speed Forme has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin," allowing for better aerodynamics and faster movement. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the northernmost meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].
====Gender differences====
Deoxys is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
[[Image:Aurora.png|thumb|225px|The aurora that Deoxys lets off]]
Deoxys mostly has the ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys can release aurora every time it changes its forme.

In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes and have dulled-down colors, and appear to be unable to use other formes besides Normal Forme.

===Behavior===
Deoxys tend to keep to themselves, but befriend humans they trust.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Deoxys was a virus resting in a stray meteor, and while it flew through the atmosphere, the virus mutated into the first known Deoxys.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=DeoxysSpeedAnime.png|1|5=DeoxysDefenseAnime.png|2|4=AG171.png|3=Deoxys anime.png}}|thumb|220px|{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Speed Forme|1|5=Defense Forme|2|4=Attack Forme|3=Normal Forme}} Deoxys in the anime]]
{{mov|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to [[LaRousse City]] to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's {{stat|Speed}} Forme debuted.

A Deoxys appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' in all of its formes.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Special===
Deoxys plays a major role in the events of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. During the disaster in the previous chapter, [[Team Rocket]] infiltrated the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and stole a virus that had been exposed to a laser beam while in space, then ended up attached to a meteorite. In their care, the virus split into two entities and developed into two separate Deoxys, appropriately named Entities 1 and 2. While the leaders of Team Rocket stayed on in [[Hoenn]], other members took the two Deoxys back to Kanto. The team transporting the Deoxys were startled when the Deoxys began to change forme (as Normal and Speed forms had been previously documented) and Entity Two took advantage of this and escaped, accidentally absorbing some of {{Special|Red}}'s blood in the escape. [[Giovanni]] used the weaker Entity One to capture {{Special|Blue}}'s parents and [[Professor Oak]]. Red was tricked into battling Entity Two, who defeated him but was captured by Giovanni. Around this time, Team Rocket managed to duplicate the climate of [[Hoenn]] and allowed Deoxys to transform into all of its formes. Giovanni used Entity Two to locate his son, {{Special|Silver}} and set out for [[Viridian City]]. Red came to Giovanni, and challenged him with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Ultimately triumphing due to [[Bill]] shutting down the Hoenn climate machine on [[Chrono Island]], Giovanni revealed that he disposed of Entity One and {{Special|Yellow}} used her abilities to inform Red of his link to Deoxys. When one of the Team Rocket members tried to usurp control, Deoxys transported Giovanni, Silver, Yellow, and Mewtwo out of harm's way before helping Red to regain control of the ship. As the disaster ended and all of the protagonists reunited, [[Sird]] tried to capture Deoxys, but ended up turning the heroes to stone. Entity Two then sped towards a [[Sinnoh|distant region]] in hopes of being allowed to freely transfer between formes and locating Entity One.

===In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Deoxys plays a large part in a [[DPAS1|Special Chapter]] of Volume 3 in the series. [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] are in [[Veilstone City]]. They come upon the large meteorite, and Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a {{p|Drifloon}}. A {{p|Murkrow}} flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a {{p|Bibarel}}'s stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Mars]] and some grunts saw the crash, and begin to battle it. It, of course, defeats Team Galactic's puny Pokémon. [[Prof. Rowan]] shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off what seems to be a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any madder, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks it what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Hyper Beam at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. Onix tries to Headbutt it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of Kricketune to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Hyper Beam, but it hits a Drifloon. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When unleashed from a [[Poké Ball]], an Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes appear. It floats gently towards the top of the screen. It will spin gracefully and begin to glow. When fully facing the front, it will cast a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying.

====Trophy Information====
''A DNA Pokémon born through the mutation of the DNA of a space virus. It has multiple formes, and the abilities it possesses and the techniques it can remember change from form to form. It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in Veilstone City.''

==Trivia==
* The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of any non-glitch Pokémon; although {{p|Marowak}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} achieves a higher absolute {{stat|Attack}} stat (504 vs. 568, respectively).
** Likewise, the Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon.
** Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Pokémon, on par with {{p|Magikarp}}.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
* Deoxys is the final Pokémon in the [[Hoenn Dex]], yet it was first in the wild in a [[Kanto]]-based game. Likewise, the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex|Kanto Pokédex]], {{p|Mew}}, was first found (legitimately) wild in a {{game3|Emerald|Hoenn-based game}}.
* When recruited in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld, however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
* Although Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the National Dex in the Generation III, it was not the Pokémon with the highest [[index number]]: this was {{p|Chimecho}}.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music. The second Pokémon to have its own unique music was {{p|Arceus}}, followed by {{p|Giratina}}, the latter in Platinum only. All other [[legendary Pokémon]] share battle themes with at least one other.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} and in {{g|Ranger}}, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
* Deoxys and {{p|Wormadam}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
* Using the first letter from the names of Deoxys' three original forms, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, and '''A'''ttack).
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
* Normal and Attack form Deoxys are the only Pokemon to surpass Arceus in 3 or more base stats. Both forms beat it in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.(150>120 150>120 150>120 for Normal Deoxys and 180>120 180>120 150>120 for Attack Deoxys. However, at the cost of having pitifully low HP and defenses.)

===Events===
* Because of the results of a poll among fans, Deoxys was given away along with pre-ordered tickets to Japanese theater showings of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}, a reference to the fact that Deoxys's first appearance in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' is at the North Pole.
* Deoxys was distributed at GameStop on June 20-22, and June 27-29. It knows {{m|Psycho Boost}}, {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, and {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} and is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}.
* A UK event (known as 'The Hunt for Deoxys') in 2005 was held at vue cinema's for 2 days each across the country, players of FireRed and LeafGreen were able to download the Aurora Ticket. Players could also try out {{Pokémon XD}} and {{game|Emerald}}.

===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens and visual representations of the DNA double helix.

====Name origin====
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''{{wp|DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid}}'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Deoxys is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it has four different forms. In [[Generation III]], its form depends on what game is being played. In [[Generation IV]], its form can be changed at will in [[Veilstone City]].

Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[National Pokédex]] within [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of {{wp|DNA}}.

===Physiology===
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance. The main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The Normal Forme has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its abdomen. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacles (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears". In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the middle meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Attack Forme has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Forme, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the southeast meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Defense Forme has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys' head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the southwest meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Speed Forme has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin," allowing for better aerodynamics and faster movement. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the northernmost meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].
====Gender differences====
Deoxys is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
[[Image:Aurora.png|thumb|225px|The aurora that Deoxys lets off]]
Deoxys mostly has the ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys can release aurora every time it changes its forme.

In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes and have dulled-down colors, and appear to be unable to use other formes besides Normal Forme.

===Behavior===
Deoxys tend to keep to themselves, but befriend humans they trust.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Deoxys was a virus resting in a stray meteor, and while it flew through the atmosphere, the virus mutated into the first known Deoxys.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=DeoxysSpeedAnime.png|1|5=DeoxysDefenseAnime.png|2|4=AG171.png|3=Deoxys anime.png}}|thumb|220px|{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Speed Forme|1|5=Defense Forme|2|4=Attack Forme|3=Normal Forme}} Deoxys in the anime]]
{{mov|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to [[LaRousse City]] to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's {{stat|Speed}} Forme debuted.

A Deoxys appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' in all of its formes.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Special===
Deoxys plays a major role in the events of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. During the disaster in the previous chapter, [[Team Rocket]] infiltrated the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and stole a virus that had been exposed to a laser beam while in space, then ended up attached to a meteorite. In their care, the virus split into two entities and developed into two separate Deoxys, appropriately named Entities 1 and 2. While the leaders of Team Rocket stayed on in [[Hoenn]], other members took the two Deoxys back to Kanto. The team transporting the Deoxys were startled when the Deoxys began to change forme (as Normal and Speed forms had been previously documented) and Entity Two took advantage of this and escaped, accidentally absorbing some of {{Special|Red}}'s blood in the escape. [[Giovanni]] used the weaker Entity One to capture {{Special|Blue}}'s parents and [[Professor Oak]]. Red was tricked into battling Entity Two, who defeated him but was captured by Giovanni. Around this time, Team Rocket managed to duplicate the climate of [[Hoenn]] and allowed Deoxys to transform into all of its formes. Giovanni used Entity Two to locate his son, {{Special|Silver}} and set out for [[Viridian City]]. Red came to Giovanni, and challenged him with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Ultimately triumphing due to [[Bill]] shutting down the Hoenn climate machine on [[Chrono Island]], Giovanni revealed that he disposed of Entity One and {{Special|Yellow}} used her abilities to inform Red of his link to Deoxys. When one of the Team Rocket members tried to usurp control, Deoxys transported Giovanni, Silver, Yellow, and Mewtwo out of harm's way before helping Red to regain control of the ship. As the disaster ended and all of the protagonists reunited, [[Sird]] tried to capture Deoxys, but ended up turning the heroes to stone. Entity Two then sped towards a [[Sinnoh|distant region]] in hopes of being allowed to freely transfer between formes and locating Entity One.

===In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Deoxys plays a large part in a [[DPAS1|Special Chapter]] of Volume 3 in the series. [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] are in [[Veilstone City]]. They come upon the large meteorite, and Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a {{p|Drifloon}}. A {{p|Murkrow}} flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a {{p|Bibarel}}'s stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Mars]] and some grunts saw the crash, and begin to battle it. It, of course, defeats Team Galactic's puny Pokémon. [[Prof. Rowan]] shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off what seems to be a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any madder, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks it what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Hyper Beam at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. Onix tries to Headbutt it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of Kricketune to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Hyper Beam, but it hits a Drifloon. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When unleashed from a [[Poké Ball]], an Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes appear. It floats gently towards the top of the screen. It will spin gracefully and begin to glow. When fully facing the front, it will cast a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying.

====Trophy Information====
''A DNA Pokémon born through the mutation of the DNA of a space virus. It has multiple formes, and the abilities it possesses and the techniques it can remember change from form to form. It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in Veilstone City.''

==Trivia==
* The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of any non-glitch Pokémon; although {{p|Marowak}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} achieves a higher absolute {{stat|Attack}} stat (504 vs. 568, respectively).
** Likewise, the Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon.
** Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Pokémon, on par with {{p|Magikarp}}.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
* Deoxys is the final Pokémon in the [[Hoenn Dex]], yet it was first in the wild in a [[Kanto]]-based game. Likewise, the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex|Kanto Pokédex]], {{p|Mew}}, was first found (legitimately) wild in a {{game3|Emerald|Hoenn-based game}}.
* When recruited in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld, however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
* Although Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the National Dex in the Generation III, it was not the Pokémon with the highest [[index number]]: this was {{p|Chimecho}}.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music. The second Pokémon to have its own unique music was {{p|Arceus}}, followed by {{p|Giratina}}, the latter in Platinum only. All other [[legendary Pokémon]] share battle themes with at least one other.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} and in {{g|Ranger}}, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
* Deoxys and {{p|Wormadam}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
* Using the first letter from the names of Deoxys' three original forms, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, and '''A'''ttack).
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
* Normal and Attack form Deoxys are the only Pokemon to surpass Arceus in 3 or more base stats (Both surpassing it in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. 150>120 150>120 150>120 for Normal Deoxys and 180>120 180>120 150>120 for Attack Deoxys.

===Events===
* Because of the results of a poll among fans, Deoxys was given away along with pre-ordered tickets to Japanese theater showings of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}, a reference to the fact that Deoxys's first appearance in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' is at the North Pole.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

Deoxys is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it has four different forms. In [[Generation III]], its form depends on what game is being played. In [[Generation IV]], its form can be changed at will in [[Veilstone City]].

Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[National Pokédex]] within [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of {{wp|DNA}}.

===Physiology===
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance. The main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The Normal Forme has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its abdomen. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacles (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears". In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the middle meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Attack Forme has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Forme, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the southeast meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Defense Forme has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys' head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the southwest meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].

The Speed Forme has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin," allowing for better aerodynamics and faster movement. In [[Generation IV]], this form is obtained by touching the northernmost meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].
====Gender differences====
Deoxys is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
[[Image:Aurora.png|thumb|225px|The aurora that Deoxys lets off]]
Deoxys mostly has the ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys can release aurora every time it changes its forme.

In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes and have dulled-down colors, and appear to be unable to use other formes besides Normal Forme.

===Behavior===
Deoxys tend to keep to themselves, but befriend humans they trust.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Deoxys was a virus resting in a stray meteor, and while it flew through the atmosphere, the virus mutated into the first known Deoxys.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=DeoxysSpeedAnime.png|1|5=DeoxysDefenseAnime.png|2|4=AG171.png|3=Deoxys anime.png}}|thumb|220px|{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Speed Forme|1|5=Defense Forme|2|4=Attack Forme|3=Normal Forme}} Deoxys in the anime]]
{{mov|Deoxys}} first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to [[LaRousse City]] to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's {{stat|Speed}} Forme debuted.

A Deoxys appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' in all of its formes.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Special===
Deoxys plays a major role in the events of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. During the disaster in the previous chapter, [[Team Rocket]] infiltrated the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and stole a virus that had been exposed to a laser beam while in space, then ended up attached to a meteorite. In their care, the virus split into two entities and developed into two separate Deoxys, appropriately named Entities 1 and 2. While the leaders of Team Rocket stayed on in [[Hoenn]], other members took the two Deoxys back to Kanto. The team transporting the Deoxys were startled when the Deoxys began to change forme (as Normal and Speed forms had been previously documented) and Entity Two took advantage of this and escaped, accidentally absorbing some of {{Special|Red}}'s blood in the escape. [[Giovanni]] used the weaker Entity One to capture {{Special|Blue}}'s parents and [[Professor Oak]]. Red was tricked into battling Entity Two, who defeated him but was captured by Giovanni. Around this time, Team Rocket managed to duplicate the climate of [[Hoenn]] and allowed Deoxys to transform into all of its formes. Giovanni used Entity Two to locate his son, {{Special|Silver}} and set out for [[Viridian City]]. Red came to Giovanni, and challenged him with {{p|Mewtwo}}. Ultimately triumphing due to [[Bill]] shutting down the Hoenn climate machine on [[Chrono Island]], Giovanni revealed that he disposed of Entity One and {{Special|Yellow}} used her abilities to inform Red of his link to Deoxys. When one of the Team Rocket members tried to usurp control, Deoxys transported Giovanni, Silver, Yellow, and Mewtwo out of harm's way before helping Red to regain control of the ship. As the disaster ended and all of the protagonists reunited, [[Sird]] tried to capture Deoxys, but ended up turning the heroes to stone. Entity Two then sped towards a [[Sinnoh|distant region]] in hopes of being allowed to freely transfer between formes and locating Entity One.

===In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Deoxys plays a large part in a [[DPAS1|Special Chapter]] of Volume 3 in the series. [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] are in [[Veilstone City]]. They come upon the large meteorite, and Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a {{p|Drifloon}}. A {{p|Murkrow}} flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a {{p|Bibarel}}'s stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Mars]] and some grunts saw the crash, and begin to battle it. It, of course, defeats Team Galactic's puny Pokémon. [[Prof. Rowan]] shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off what seems to be a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any madder, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks it what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Hyper Beam at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. Onix tries to Headbutt it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of Kricketune to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Hyper Beam, but it hits a Drifloon. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

==Trivia==
* The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of any non-glitch Pokémon; although {{p|Marowak}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} achieves a higher absolute {{stat|Attack}} stat (504 vs. 568, respectively).
** Likewise, the Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon.
** Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Pokémon, on par with {{p|Magikarp}}.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
* Deoxys is the final Pokémon in the [[Hoenn Dex]], yet it was first in the wild in a [[Kanto]]-based game. Likewise, the final Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex|Kanto Pokédex]], {{p|Mew}}, was first found (legitimately) wild in a {{game3|Emerald|Hoenn-based game}}.
* When recruited in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld, however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
* Although Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the National Dex in the Generation III, it was not the Pokémon with the highest [[index number]]: this was {{p|Chimecho}}.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music. The second Pokémon to have its own unique music was {{p|Arceus}}, followed by {{p|Giratina}}, the latter in Platinum only. All other [[legendary Pokémon]] share battle themes with at least one other.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} and in {{g|Ranger}}, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
* Deoxys and {{p|Wormadam}} are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
* Using the first letter from the names of Deoxys' three original forms, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, and '''A'''ttack).
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
* Normal and Attack form Deoxys are the only Pokemon to surpass Arceus in 3 or more base stats (Attack, Speed, and Special Attack)

===Events===
* Because of the results of a poll among fans, Deoxys was given away along with pre-ordered tickets to Japanese theater showings of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}, a reference to the fact that Deoxys's first appearance in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' is at the North Pole.
* Deoxys was distributed at GameStop on June 20-22, and June 27-29. It knows {{m|Psycho Boost}}, {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, and {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} and is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}}.
* A UK event (known as 'The Hunt for Deoxys') in 2005 was held at vue cinema's for 2 days each across the country, players of FireRed and LeafGreen were able to download the Aurora Ticket. Players could also try out {{Pokémon XD}} and {{game|Emerald}}.

===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens and visual representations of the DNA double helix.

====Name origin====
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''{{wp|DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid}}'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

'''Mamoswine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンムー''' ''Mammoo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Piloswine}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}. It is the final evolution of {{p|Swinub}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mamoswine resembles a fully grown mammoth with a pig-like nose. The tusks are much larger than those of Piloswine and seem to be shifted downward. The tusks are made from rock solid ice instead of ivory. Mamoswine were much more common during the {{wp|Ice Age}} but their numbers dwindled as the climate grew warmer.
====Gender differences====
A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

====Special abilities====
Mamoswine have immense physical strength. Their coat of fur is very thick and their skin is very rough, making them immune to the effects of both {{m|Sandstorm}} and {{m|Hail}}. Mamoswine's tusks are made of virtually indestructible ice.

Mamoswine is extremely hardy, and can even {{m|Endure}} cryogenic suspension for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen waking up much to the amazement of those who discovered it.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Mamoswine were populous during the last ice age, but at its end, the population thinned.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mamoswine.png|thumb|right|210px|{{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the anime]]
A herd of Mamoswine appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' with {{an|Regigigas}}.

{{an|Dawn}}'s {{p|Piloswine}} evolved into a {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|DP106|Mamoswine|Dawn's Pokédex|Mamoswine. The Twin Tusk Pokémon, and the evolved form of {{p|Piloswine}}. Distinguished by its large tusks, its weight is more than five times that of Piloswine, and is less commonly found since the end of the {{wp|Ice Age}}.}}

==Trivia==
*Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] if it had existed, as in both there was a possible way to get a {{p|Piloswine}} that had {{m|AncientPower}}. It shares this trait with {{p|Lickilicky}}.
*Mamoswine's Pokédex entry is a reference to how {{wp|woolly mammoth}}s became extinct.
*Not counting Pokémon who have an [[ability]] that negates weather effects or damage from them, Mamoswine's evolutionary chain are the only Pokémon that are immune to both {{m|Sandstorm}} and {{m|Hail}}.
*Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only {{type2|Ice}}s not weak to {{t|Rock}}, due to their part {{t|Ground}}-typing.
*Mamoswine is the last Ground-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order as of [[Generation IV]].
*Mamoswine's evolutionary chain is the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Grass}}.
*Mamoswine has the highest Attack of any Ice-type.

===Origin===
Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|woolly mammoth}} and a {{wp|boar}}.
====Name origin====
Mamoswine is a combination ''mammoth'' and ''swine''. Mammoo may be a combination of ''mammoth'' and ぶうぶう ''bū bū'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for oinking.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{P|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{P|Magneton}} or {{P|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{P|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network, which is nowadays a more accurate measure of the capacity for intelligence than the net amount of brain tissue. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{P|Alakazam}}. It can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together.

====Gender differences====
Metagross is a genderless species, as are its pre-evolutions, Beldum and Metang.

====Special abilities====
Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Metagross DP051.jpg|thumb|right| Metagross in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'']]
Metagross was first seen in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of [[Rebecca (movie)|Rebecca]].

Metagross's debut appearance was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of [[Tyson (Hoenn)|Tyson's]] Pokémon.

[[Anabel]]'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Special]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{P|Metang}} and many {{P|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta. It starts by hovering above the stage before crashing down and creating an {{m|Earthquake}}.

==Trivia==
* Metagross has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other Pseudo-legenary evolutions. Metagross is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Metagross bears a small resemblance to the {{wp|Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series#Tektite|Tektite}} enemy from The Legend of Zelda series.
* {{P|Magnezone}} is said to be related to Metagross due to their similar appearance and stats.
* Although it is said that Metagross is made up of two Metang, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Beldum evolution, ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of getting together with another Beldum. Likewise, if a Metang evolution is shown, it is highly unlikely it would involve two Metang evolving together. This is similar to the games.
* Metagross is the heaviest non-legendary Pokémon.
* Metagross is the only [[Pseudo-legendary]] whose types do not have a weakness that is 4x effective.
* Metagross evolves from its pre-evolution earliest of all [[Pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.
* Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary who cannot learn any {{type2|Dragon}} moves. However, it is the only one that resists Dragon-type moves.
*Metagross, as well as Beldum and Metang, has been seen to be able to float in the air though {{wp|magnetism}}. However, it does not have the {{a|Levitate}} ability. It, along with Metang, can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}} though.
*Metagross's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 192. This makes it and its evolution family one of only three families of Pokémon (comprising ten Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
*Metagross has the highest Attack stat of any Steel-type or Psychic-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}.
====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its size.

===Pokédex entries===
{{dex

==Trivia==
* Kingler has one claw much larger than the other, but in the Red/Blue sprite they are the same size and width. However, this may be due to Kingler holding one claw closer than the other.
* With the exception of the afformentioned Red/Blue sprite, Kingler's left claw (''right'' to viewers') is always the larger of the two, however, in Kingler's [[Generation I]] back sprite, the claws are reversed. Its right claw becomes the bigger one.
*Kingler shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Scizor}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
*Kingler and its pre-evolution {{p|Krabby}} are two of the four [[Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Crabhammer}} by level up ({{p|Corphish}} and {{p|Crawdaunt}} being the other two Pokémon).
*With a base attack of 130, Kingler has the highest attack stat of any water-type pokemon.

==Origin==
Kingler is very similar to a fiddler crab.
===Name origin===
Kingler's name might be a combination of ''{{wp|King crab|king}}'' and ''{{wp|Fiddler crab|fiddler}}'' - both species of {{wp|crab}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kingler
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Krabboss - From "crabe" that means crab, and "boss", the same word as in English.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 킹크랩 ''Kingkeuraep'' - A combination of translitterations of ''King'' and ''crab''

==Trivia==
*Heatran is the first legendary Pokémon that can either be male or female. Ironically, Heatran was created by a non-reproductive technique.
*No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Heatran.
*Heatran is the only Pokémon that is immune to both [[Status ailment#poison|poison]] and [[Status ailment#burn|burn]].
*Heatran is the only Pokémon that is not a {{type2|Rock}} that learns {{m|Stone Edge}} by level, not counting {{p|Steelix}} because it evolves from the {{type2|Rock}} {{p|Onix}}.
*Heatran is the last {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order, and also the last {{type2|Steel}}.
*Heatran has the highest Special Attack stat of any Fire-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
====Name origin====
Its name comes from the words ''{{wp|heat}}'' and possibly ''transfer''. The "doran" in its Japanese name can also be read as "dran", so it may be a combination of "heat" and "d'''ra'''go'''n'''".

'''Magnezone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジバコイル''' ''Jibacoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magneton}} by [[level]]-up in [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is the final form of {{p|Magnemite}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magnezone is the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at [[Mt. Coronet]]. One of the {{P|Magnemite}} that this Pokémon consists of has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color grey than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail. Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to {{p|Metagross}}, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.

====Gender differences====
Magnezone is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Magnezone use the same moves that {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton's. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn {{m|Barrier}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Magnezone can be found living in power plants, but they're much rarer than either {{p|Magnemite}} or {{p|Magneton}}. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at [[Mt. Coronet]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Magnezone feed of off electrical charges.

==In the anime==
Magnezone made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'' under the ownership of the main villain, [[Zero]].

==Trivia==
* {{P|Metagross}} is said to be related to Magnezone due to their similar appearance and stats.
* Magnezone and its evolutionary line has a spectacular thirteen resistances, two of those being doubly strong, and one immunity, making it the most resistant Pokémon ever. With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes Magnezone immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks for a short period of time, its only double weakness is negated. It is also one of the few Pokémon to resist both parts of "[[Metagame terminology#Boltbeam|Bolt Beam]]".
* Magnezone's [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork and menu sprite shows that the poles of its magnets have red and blue color on them, but in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, its magnets have no color on them at all. Also, the art shows a third magnet in the back of Magnezone, which is missing on the sprite, or possibly just hidden.
**In {{game|Platinum}} this oversight was corrected. The blue in its sprite is deeper than usual, however.
* Magnezone and its pre-evolution Magneton have National Dex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other Pokémon related by evolution.
* Magnezone has the highest Special Attack stat of any Electric-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
Magnezone bears a resemblance to a {{wp|flying saucer}} or a {{wp|UFO}}.
====Name origin====
Magnezone is derived from a shortening and portmanteau of "magnetic zone", an alternative name for a magnetic field. Jibacoil's name is from 磁場 ''jiba'', the Japanese word for magnetic field, and the ''coil'' part refers to an electro-magnetic coil.

==Trivia==
*In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], it is possible to get a transferable Electivire by entering one of the following codes - depending on region and language - at the "Self-Introduction" option in the Profile menu:
**US:
***<code>BA16-X4SH-E2AT</code>
**PAL:
***English: <code>tko3-9jwp-34kl</code>
***French: <code>jk4i-df87-dsf9</code>
***Spanish: <code>04in-1ynj-24fv</code>
***German: <code>0f9-ud0g-ughj</code>
***Italian: <code>t4oi-6j8d-sb5r</code>.
**The Electivire will be level 50, an [[Natures|Adamant]] male, inside a regular [[Poké Ball]] with a [[Magnet]] and will know the [[moves]] {{m|ThunderPunch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|Cross Chop}}, and {{m|Earthquake}}.
*Electivire has the highest base attack stat out of all {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
*Electivire is the currently the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Earthquake}}.
*Electivire has the highest base Attack stat of any Electric-type Pokemon.

===Origin===
Electivire seems to be based on a {{wp|yeti}}. It is also very likely to be based on a gorilla. However, its Motor Drive ability which boosts speed after being struck by an electric attack by stimulating its muscles to help move faster is similar to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein which was created by electricity.

====Name origin====
Elekibull is believed to be combination of エレキテル ''erekiteru'', electricity, and ブル ''buru'', bull, or ケーブル ''kēburu'', cable. ''Electivire'' is based off of the words ''electricity'' and ''wire'', as in the two cord-like tails it has. Its name could have also been based off of ''virus'', referring to computer viruses, or ''vampire'', because its ability "feeds" off of electric attacks. Its German name, Elevoltek, comes from ''Elektro-'', ''volt'' ''Technik''. Its French name, Elekable, comes from ''{{tt|électrique|electric}}'' and {{tt|câble|wire}}.

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Magikarp}} at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly is yellow and its fins are white. It has four such white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bares some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on the its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels.

====Special abilities====
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high attack stat, relying mostly on attacks than specials. {{M|Dragon Dance}} appears to be its signature move, increasing its already-high attack, and its speed. {{M|Dragon Rage}} also seems to be one of its older signature moves.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bares little resemblance to its docile pre-evolution. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed, this is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence, although this Pokémon is vary rarely seen in the wild. During times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Gyarados are rare, and normally not seen in the wild. They usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is a known nesting area for a [[red Gyarados]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|thumb|The [[Red Gyarados]].]][[Image:Gyaranime.jpg|thumb|left|{{OP|James|Gyarados}} and two other Gyarados starting to perform {{m|Dragon Rage}}]]
Gyarados had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' It was then seen in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp evolved into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}}.

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

A Gyarados was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a [[giant Pokémon|giant]] Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular sized as a Gyarados.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.

[[Trinity]] used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a [[red Gyarados]]. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' to stop the feuding of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Misty obtained a {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} after passing the [[PIA]] test in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

A Gyarados appears in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

A Gyarados was used in [[DP083]] under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Gyarados debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{Special|Red}} and supposedly gave it back to her. The drastic change of attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}}.

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] 3 years later, but it was caught by {{Special|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

When Red borrows {{Special|Green}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Green. It later appears as one of Green's Pokémon in {{PSV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}} and later, part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green returns Gyarados to Red.

Both Gyarados have remained on their {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s teams to this day.

==Trivia==
* According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "{{wp|kraken}}" (a mythological sea monster). This wouldn't have worked in the games though because the game only allows a maximum of 10 letters in a Pokémon's name.
* Oddly, despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which it can only learn from a [[move tutor]] in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]]. However it can learn many {{type2|Dragon}} moves, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Outrage}}. Due to this, many theorize that it was originally intended to be Water/Dragon.
* In Generation II, it became the first of only two {{shiny2}} Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot, along with being the only 100% certain shiny encounter.
* It is said in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'' that Gyarados's skin is harder than steel, yet in ''[[AG169|Talking A Good Game!]]'', Gyarados was angry because it has a twig penetrating through its skin.
* Gyarados has minor differences between all of its {{shiny2}} sprites, making it slightly unique to each game. In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Gyarados' shiny sprite is gold and red, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, its sprites have a pink hue to them. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, its sprites appear more orange. Lastly, in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the sprite loses most of its gold and becomes a standard red color. Why there have been so many changes is unknown.
** On a side note, Gyarados's normal colors during Gold and Silver showed it being dark blue. This was corrected in [[Pokémon Crystal]].
*In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados is one of nine non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
* Gyarados is the only non-{{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that learns {{m|Dragon Dance}} by level, not counting {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Seadra}} as they evolve into the {{type2|Dragon}} {{p|Kingdra}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Gyarados is the only non-legendary boss Pokémon to speak entirely in capital letters.
* Gyarados has the highest base Attack stat of any Water-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles.
====Name origin====
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 ''gyakkyō'', hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The ''dos'' may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp is a fierce and predatorial dragon, known for its scales that have medicinal properties that can heal most [[Status ailment|illnesses]].

Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its [[Gabite (Pokémon)|previous evolution]]. It's eyes have black {{wp|retina}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not. This may signify that male Garchomp fight more, leaving scars.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Garchompgliding.jpg|thumb|left|Garchomp "flying"]]
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.

===Behavior===
Garchomp has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest, which may be a reference to the fictional dragon {{wp|Smaug}}. It is also known to be very tempermental and violent.

===Habitat===
Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, {{p|Gible}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Garchomp-anime.jpg|thumb|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon, like in the games and anime, is a Garchomp.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|Pseudo-legendary evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
* Of the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at [[level]] 100, with a maximum of ''only'' 394.
** It is also the fastest among the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a maximum {{stat|Speed}} of 333.
* Garchomp is the fastest Ground-type Pokemon, with a base speed of 102.

===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between an {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', {{wp|Soil|earth}}.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and {{tt|Krach|crack}}. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and ''{{tt|croquer|to bite}}''.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is a dark-purple Pokémon with a roundish body. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it now has a pair of legs. Gengar has a spike-covered back. Gengar's eyes are red and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Gengar has the same abilities in battle as a Haunter, only stronger. The presence of a Gengar can cool the temperature of the surrounding area by 10°F. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

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

Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

This Pokémon eats dreams, which is a trait similar to {{p|Drowzee}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:TheAncientPuzzleofPokemopolis.gif|thumb|right|A giant Gengar.]]
Gengar first appeared in the opening of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar.

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a giant Gengar was awakened near the Ancient City of Pokémopolis where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

[[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A {{TP|Morty|Gengar}} appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''

A Gengar appeared in [[DP090]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team. One of them was used to attack {{Special|Green}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PSV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==
*"Phantom" was the original English name for Gengar.
*In earlier generations, Gengar was darker in color. This may have had to do with the limited color scheme of the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]], however.
*In [[Generation II]], Gengar gains a tuft of hair on its head.
*Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}} (who it battles in the beginning of Red, Blue Green, FireRed and LeafGreen) and probably other Pokémon, originate from the old manga, [[Capsule Monsters]] which is considered ancestor to the Pokémon franchise.
*By using the dongle method, Gengar is the first Pokémon that requires to be evolved through trading can be caught in the wild at the [[Old Chateau]]. Other Pokémon that evolve through trade still have to be done this way. The only other Pokémon that a player can get a final stage Pokémon without trading is {{p|Steelix}} which is also wild in [[Sinnoh]].
*Gengar's Sugimori artwork looks more similar to Gengar's shiny sprite rather than its regular sprite.
*As Gastly, Haunter and Gengar were the only {{type2|Ghost}}s in [[Generation I]], and as well part {{t|Poison}}, many assumed falsely that Ghost Pokémon were weak to {{type2|Psychic}} moves. This was cleared up by the introduction of {{p|Misdreavus}} in [[Generation II]] and other pure-Ghost Pokémon in subsequent generations.
*Even though Gengar is part {{type2|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves by level up.
*Gengar is the fastest Ghost-type Pokemon, with a base speed of 110.

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}. The overall appearance could also be an homage to the {{wp|Alice in Wonderland|Cheshire Cat}}. Gengar also has some similarities to {{wp|Gremlins}} with both looks and personality (violent, rude, and wild).
====Name origin====
Gengar's name is possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'' - a ghostly double of a person, which would be a fitting name for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻, which can be read "gen", can be used for words meaning "phantom" or "illusion".

Some also suspect that, like {{P|Kangaskhan}}, Gengar's name may be partially based on ''{{wp|Genghis Khan}}'', founder of the Mongol Empire, what with Gengar's chaotic and dangerous behavior towards others for its own amusement.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Gengar
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ectoplasma - From ''[[wp:Ectoplasm|ectoplasm]]'', the substance that supposedly emanates from the body of a spiritualistic medium when contacting the dead.

*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 팬텀 ''Paenteom'' - A transliteration of the English word ''phantom''.

'''Jirachi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジラーチ''' ''Jirachi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jirachi is a small, white humanoid Pokémon. Jirachi has short, stubby legs like {{P|Cleffa}} and arms that makes Jirachi look like it's wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Its short legs are most likely the reason for it floating most of the time, rather than having to walk. There is a curved line on Jirachi's stomach which conceals a third eye that it rarely opens. Jirachi has two yellow streamers on its back. Jirachi appears to be wearing a yellow headdress that resembles a star. Three of the points have a teal-colored tag on them. Jirachi has smooth skin that apparently has the hardness of {{t|steel}}.
====Gender differences====
Jirachi is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Jirachi has the ability to grant wishes.

Jirachi is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Doom Desire}}. It is also capable of some {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Grass}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Jirachi spends most of its time asleep and is only awake for seven days once every 1,000 years when a voice of purity sings to it. During this time, Jirachi has the power to grant wishes. It has a child-like personality.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
In the anime, Jirachi hibernates in [[Forina]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:JirachiAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Jirachi in the anime]]
[[Jirachi (anime)|Jirachi's only anime appearance]] was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Jirachi will only awaken during the week of the thousand-year comet and if there is a partner that can be its friend. [[Max]] filled that role in the movie. However, [[Butler|The Great Butler]] wanted to use Jirachi's powers to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. It is interesting to note that Jirachi appears to be a masculine Pokémon referred to as "he" in the English dub. It is referred as "she" in the Brazilian Portuguese dub. Jirachi is also in the opening sequence of [[The Rise of Darkrai]].

==In the manga==
The seven days Jirachi was awake coincided with the seven days of the opening ceremonies for the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. At the request of [[Professor Oak]], {{Special|Emerald}} tried to capture Jirachi while he was there. However, [[Guille Hideout]] managed to capture Jirachi first. Jirachi is supposed to be captured to revive the five petrified Pokédex Holders.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: While in the Ruins, one of the slot machine prizes is the chance to capture Jirachi. Jirachi will move around and must be hit three times in 30 seconds for the capture to be successful. There is only one chance per game.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Jirachi appears as a rare Poké Ball Pokémon in its first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. The chance of it appearing is 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Jirachi's case, the items are stickers.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=steel
|gen=3
|rubydex=A legend states that Jirachi will make true any {{M|wish}} that is written on the notes attached to head when it awakens. If this Pokémon senses danger, it will fight without awakening.
|sapphiredex=Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity. It is said to make true any {{M|wish}} that people desire.
|emeralddex=Jirachi is said to make {{M|wish}}es come true. While it sleeps, a tough crystalline shell envelops the body to protect it from enemies.
|firereddex=It is said to make any {{M|wish}} come true. It is only awake for only seven days out of a thousand years.
|leafgreendex=It is said to make any {{M|wish}} come true. It is only awake for only seven days out of a thousand years.

==Trivia==
* Jirachi shares similarities with the Beanstar from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', they both can only be awoken when sung to with a voice of purity, and both grant wishes.
* In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
* Jirachi and {{p|Manaphy}} have never been given an in-game location. As well, they were both stars in a [[Pokémon movie]] where they bonded with [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, respectively.
**Jirachi stars in the movie in which Groudon made its first movie appearence, while Manaphy is the star Pokémon in a later movie in which Kyogre made its first movie appearence.
* Jirachi's [[Generation III]] sprites show its ''true eye'' opened and blue streamers. However, in its Diamond and Pearl sprites, its ''true eye'' is closed and its streamers are teal instead of blue.
* Jirachi is the fastest Steel-type Pokemon, with a base speed of 100.

===Origin===
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that the wish will come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward {{wp|Tanabata}}.

====Name origin====
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire". It could also be from the Japanese word 幸 ''sachi,'' which means wish, happiness, or fortune.

'''Jirachi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジラーチ''' ''Jirachi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jirachi is a small, white humanoid Pokémon. Jirachi has short, stubby legs like {{P|Cleffa}} and arms that makes Jirachi look like it's wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Its short legs are most likely the reason for it floating most of the time, rather than having to walk. There is a curved line on Jirachi's stomach which conceals a third eye that it rarely opens. Jirachi has two yellow streamers on its back. Jirachi appears to be wearing a yellow headdress that resembles a star. Three of the points have a teal-colored tag on them. Jirachi has smooth skin that apparently has the hardness of {{t|steel}}.
====Gender differences====
Jirachi is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Jirachi has the ability to grant wishes.

Jirachi is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Doom Desire}}. It is also capable of some {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Grass}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Jirachi spends most of its time asleep and is only awake for seven days once every 1,000 years when a voice of purity sings to it. During this time, Jirachi has the power to grant wishes. It has a child-like personality.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
In the anime, Jirachi hibernates in [[Forina]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:JirachiAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Jirachi in the anime]]
[[Jirachi (anime)|Jirachi's only anime appearance]] was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Jirachi will only awaken during the week of the thousand-year comet and if there is a partner that can be its friend. [[Max]] filled that role in the movie. However, [[Butler|The Great Butler]] wanted to use Jirachi's powers to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. It is interesting to note that Jirachi appears to be a masculine Pokémon referred to as "he" in the English dub. It is referred as "she" in the Brazilian Portuguese dub. Jirachi is also in the opening sequence of [[The Rise of Darkrai]].

==In the manga==
The seven days Jirachi was awake coincided with the seven days of the opening ceremonies for the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. At the request of [[Professor Oak]], {{Special|Emerald}} tried to capture Jirachi while he was there. However, [[Guille Hideout]] managed to capture Jirachi first. Jirachi is supposed to be captured to revive the five petrified Pokédex Holders.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: While in the Ruins, one of the slot machine prizes is the chance to capture Jirachi. Jirachi will move around and must be hit three times in 30 seconds for the capture to be successful. There is only one chance per game.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Jirachi appears as a rare Poké Ball Pokémon in its first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. The chance of it appearing is 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Jirachi's case, the items are stickers.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
* Jirachi shares similarities with the Beanstar from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', they both can only be awoken when sung to with a voice of purity, and both grant wishes.
* In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
* Jirachi and {{p|Manaphy}} have never been given an in-game location. As well, they were both stars in a [[Pokémon movie]] where they bonded with [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, respectively.
**Jirachi stars in the movie in which Groudon made its first movie appearence, while Manaphy is the star Pokémon in a later movie in which Kyogre made its first movie appearence.
* Jirachi's [[Generation III]] sprites show its ''true eye'' opened and blue streamers. However, in its Diamond and Pearl sprites, its ''true eye'' is closed and its streamers are teal instead of blue.
* Jirachi is the fastest Steel-typ Pokemon, with a base speed of 100.

===Origin===
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that the wish will come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward {{wp|Tanabata}}.

====Name origin====
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire". It could also be from the Japanese word 幸 ''sachi,'' which means wish, happiness, or fortune.

==Trivia==
*Infernape is the shortest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]] standing at only 3 feet and 11 inches (1.2 meters).
*Chimchar and Monferno have a flame on their tail, but Infernape has the flame on its head instead.
*Infernape is the only final form [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to have a unique [[Elemental types|type combination]].
*Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters (second only to {{p|Sceptile}}). Because of this, some consider Infernape to be a stronger version of {{p|Blaziken}}. However, it does have a lower {{stat|Attack}} base stat than Blaziken.
*Infernape shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}} and {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Infernape is the only fully [[evolution|evolved]] [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] to be affected by {{m|Sandstorm}}, as {{p|Empoleon}} is part {{type2|Steel}} and {{p|Torterra}} is part {{type2|Ground}}.
* Infernape is the first fully evolved form of a [[starter Pokémon]] to be used by a member of any [[Elite Four]]. (not counting the champion)
* {{m|Ice Punch}} is the only Elemental Punch that is impossible for Infernape to learn without the use of a cheating or hacking device.
* Infernape is the fastest Fire-type Pokemon, with a base speed of 108.
===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. It is also possible that he is based on {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, the Chinese mythical "Monkey King". The gold elements in his design seem to indicate this, and his name can also be linked to Japanese interpretations of the character (e.g. Son '''Goku'''). Its appearance is similar to the Colobus Monkeys of Africa. Infernape is most likely based off the martial art Muay Thai which uses all the limbs.

====Name origin====
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'', hellfire or inferno, and 猿 ''saru'', ape. Infernape is a combination of "inferno" and "ape". Its German name, Panferno, comes from {{tt|Schimpanse|chimpanzee}} and ''inferno''. Its French name, Simiabraz, comes from ''simia'', latin for monkey, and ''braise'', ember.

Its short legs are most likely the reason for it floating most of the time, rather than having to walk. There is a curved line on Jirachi's stomach which conceals a third eye that it rarely opens. Jirachi has two yellow streamers on its back. Jirachi appears to be wearing a yellow headdress that resembles a star. Three of the points have a teal-colored tag on them. Jirachi has smooth skin that apparently has the hardness of {{t|steel}}.
====Gender differences====
Jirachi is a genderless species.
====Special abilities====
Jirachi has the ability to grant wishes.

Jirachi is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Doom Desire}}. It is also capable of some {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Grass}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Jirachi spends most of its time asleep and is only awake for seven days once every 1,000 years when a voice of purity sings to it. During this time, Jirachi has the power to grant wishes. It has a child-like personality.

===Habitat===

[[Jirachi (anime)|Jirachi's only anime appearance]] was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Jirachi will only awaken during the week of the thousand-year comet and if there is a partner that can be its friend. [[Max]] filled that role in the movie. However, [[Butler|The Great Butler]] wanted to use Jirachi's powers to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. It is interesting to note that Jirachi appears to be a masculine Pokémon referred to as "he" in the English dub. It is referred as "she" in the Brazilian Portuguese dub. Jirachi is also in the opening sequence of [[The Rise of Darkrai]].

==In the manga==
The seven days Jirachi was awake coincided with the seven days of the opening ceremonies for the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. At the request of [[Professor Oak]], {{Special|Emerald}} tried to capture Jirachi while he was there. However, [[Guille Hideout]] managed to capture Jirachi first. Jirachi is supposed to be captured to revive the five petrified Pokédex Holders.

==Trivia==
* Jirachi shares similarities with the Beanstar from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', they both can only be awoken when sung to with a voice of purity, and both grant wishes.
* In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
* Jirachi and {{p|Manaphy}} have never been given an in-game location. As well, they were both stars in a [[Pokémon movie]] where they bonded with [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, respectively.
**Jirachi stars in the movie in which Groudon made its first movie appearence, while Manaphy is the star Pokémon in a later movie in which Kyogre made its first movie appearence.
* Jirachi's [[Generation III]] sprites show its ''true eye'' opened and blue streamers. However, in its Diamond and Pearl sprites, its ''true eye'' is closed and its streamers are teal instead of blue.
* With a base speed of 100, Jirachi is the fastest Steel-type Pokemon in the game.

===Origin===
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that the wish will come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward {{wp|Tanabata}}.

====Name origin====
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire". It could also be from the Japanese word 幸 ''sachi,'' which means wish, happiness, or fortune.

==Trivia==
* Jirachi shares similarities with the Beanstar from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', they both can only be awoken when sung to with a voice of purity, and both grant wishes.
* In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
* Jirachi and {{p|Manaphy}} have never been given an in-game location. As well, they were both stars in a [[Pokémon movie]] where they bonded with [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, respectively.
**Jirachi stars in the movie in which Groudon made its first movie appearence, while Manaphy is the star Pokémon in a later movie in which Kyogre made its first movie appearence.
* Jirachi's [[Generation III]] sprites show its ''true eye'' opened and blue streamers. However, in its Diamond and Pearl sprites, its ''true eye'' is closed and its streamers are teal instead of blue.
* Jirachi is the fastest Steel-type Pokemon in the game, with a base speed of 100.

===Origin===
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that the wish will come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward {{wp|Tanabata}}.

====Name origin====
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire". It could also be from the Japanese word 幸 ''sachi,'' which means wish, happiness, or fortune.

'''Ho-Oh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Ho-Oh is the [[version mascot]] of Pokémon {{v|Gold}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
It can be speculated that Ho-Oh can [[breed]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] because its unofficial polar opposite (Lugia) can.
===Physiology===
Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with red being its dominant color. Ho-Oh also has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its eye and a peacock's feather-crest.

====Gender differences====
Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it. Ho-Oh can reincarnate the dead, which it did to create {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. Ho-Oh mostly has power over {{t|Fire}}, but it can control other elements (with the exception of {{t|Water}}).

Ho-Oh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Sacred Fire}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Ho-Oh used to perch at the top of [[Tin Tower]] until the [[Brass Tower]] was destroyed by fire. It now presumably flies through the world's skies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ho-Oh anime.PNG|thumb|Ho-Oh in the anime]]
{{an|Ho-Oh}} appeared at the end of [[EP001|the first episode]], flying across the sky, which had a rainbow. It was also the first [[Generation II]] {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon}} ever seen.

According to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ho-Oh lived in [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. But when war broke out, burning Tin Tower and Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. Also, a sacred flame burns in [[Dragon's Den]] which came from Ho-Oh in the same ancient war that burned Tin Tower; it still burns today, protected in a shrine.

After competing in the [[Silver Conference]], Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards [[Hoenn]]. This encouraged him to get over his depression and continue his own journey.

In the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]], {{p|Mew}} transforms into Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh was most recently seen flying into the sunset at the end of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. This time, Brock, May, Max, Scott and Brandon saw Ho-Oh as well.

===Pokédex entries===
* [[EP001]]: "There is no data. There are still Pokémon yet to be identified."

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Ho-Oh was used by [[Pryce]] to kidnap children in his plans to capture {{p|Celebi}}, including {{special|Blue}} and {{special|Silver}}, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked [[Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]]. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under Pryce's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ho-Oh (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Ho-Oh figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Ho-Oh|4}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Ho-Oh in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}} that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it.

==Trivia==
*Ho-Oh is one of the three legendary Pokémon whose location changed between generations.
*Ho-Oh was the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] ever seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*Ho-Oh is so far the only theoretical [[trio master]] to be part of the same Generation as its trio. Both the [[Legendary beasts]] and Ho-Oh are part of Generation II.
*Ho-Oh's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}, as is {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Girafarig}}.
*Ho-Oh's [[Generation IV]] sprite is similar to its [[Generation III]] sprite, except being bigger. It shares this trait with {{p|Steelix}}.
*Ho-Oh and {{p|Raikou}} are the only [[Generation II]] [[legendary Pokémon]] to not appear in their own {{g|movie}}.
**However, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', a {{OBP|Mew|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew}} did {{m|Transform}} into a Ho-Oh during the beginning of the said movie.
*Its backsprite is one of the few backsprites that has never changed its position.
*Ho-Oh is not the first Fire/Flying-type Pokémon in the National Dex; two other Pokémon ({{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Moltres}}) come first. Also, no other Fire/Flying-type Pokémon have been introduced since. It shares this trait with {{p|Lugia}}.
*In a [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points recent PokeBeach interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated that Ho-Oh's appearances to Ash are to signify how special he is. Ho-Oh was merely used to further the plot and, much to the dismay of some fans, nothing more. It should be noted that this was only stated by Hidaka and no other crew members.
*Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Mewtwo all share the same 106/130/90/110/154/90 base stat amounts. What differs among them is what amount is allotted to each stat.
===Origin===
Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal phoenix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from its own ashes and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}.

On another note, the colors it bears are somewhat similar to a {{wp|Scarlet Macaw}} or {{wp|adarna}}, a mythological Filipino bird that said to sing seven songs. Every time that the Adarna finishes a song, it defecates and turns to stone whomever it may land on. Its feathers change to a more beautiful shade, becoming more colorful and shiny just the same as Ho-Oh.
====Name origin====
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 ''Hōō'', which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically the Chinese phoenix, or ''[[wp:Fenghuang|Fènghuáng]]''.

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ho-Oh
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 칠색조 ''Chilsaekjo'' - Means "Seven-colored bird."

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] is Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], appearing on the boxart.

In [[Pokémon XD]], [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. Their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has five finger-like appendages at the end of its wings. Due to a somewhat similar appearance, they may be related to {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

====Gender differences====
None noticeable, however, this species is highly intelligent and one could possibly ask Lugia which gender it is (since the species can speak with humans in the same manner {{p|Mewtwo}} does). Unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia are thought to be the leaders of the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather, most notably it can calm storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow houses over. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as much as 40 days. They are highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. They are generally calm and benevolent, it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in regulating world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Lugia usually live deep in the ocean, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:LugiaAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Lugia in the intro of ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'']]A large {{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} was featured in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed {{jo|Silver}} by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==In the manga==
The Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the Yellow Saga. The [[Mask of Ice]] caught a Lugia, but subsequently released it.

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

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

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Lugia|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
* Lugia is one of the three legendary Pokémon whose location has changed between generations.
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive regular Pokémon episodes.
* The fins on Lugia's back, tail and around its eyes have been seen equally as black or blue.
* Lugia and Latias are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Before the introduction of Gold Version and Silver Version, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." Even in the anime, [[Dr. Namba]] refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia has the same music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same applies to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Lugia is not the first Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon in the National Dex: two other Pokémon ([[Natu]] and [[Xatu]]) come first. Also, no other {{t|Psychic}}/{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon have been introduced since. It shares this trait with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Even though Lugia is the "Diving Pokémon," and can effectively use {{t|Water}} and {{type2|Ice}} moves, it is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon itself.
* Lugia is the only non-Water type to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
* Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Mewtwo all share the same 106/90/130/90/154/110 base stat amounts. What differs among them is what amount is allotted to each stat.
===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}.
Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (Back Plates and Tail Spikes) and the {{wp|Pleisosaurus}} (Long Neck and Swimming Ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|Lutetium}}'', a silverish element. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon. It is the first known [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Despite being bulky, Dragonite are incredibly agile and fast. Unlike it's pre-evolutions, it is orange and possesses arms and legs. They resemble a European dragon, and have a pair of little wings that can increase in size while in flight. It has a taller stature than most humans.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Dragonite are very strong. They can cause a great deal of damage to most Pokémon. Dragonite's signature move (prior to Gen {{Gen|III}}) is {{m|Outrage}}, a powerful Dragon-type move. Although it is rather difficult compared to other Pokémon to level a Dragonite up, they gain much more power than most other Pokémon after they evolve.

===Behavior===
Dragonite has a kindhearted disposition. They have been said to save people from drowning and lead ships that have been trapped in storms to safety. Dragonite are said to have a human-matching intelligence. They are extremely fast, so fast that they are able to circle around the globe in sixteen hours.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]

[[Image:D Dragonite.jpg|right|thumb|[[Drake's Dragonite]]]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dragonite seemed to be an unknown Pokémon before ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', [[Bill]] is seen looking at the Pokémon and calling it unknown. That Dragonite was a [[giant Pokémon]].

The first time that Dragonite actually made an appearance was during ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].'' The orange dragon delivered an invitation to {{Ash}} and co. to come to New Island.

A {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} belonging to [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] was used to battle [[Ash Ketchum]] in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummello]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''.

[[Lance]] used his Dragonite to defeat the [[Red Gyarados]] in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]].'' Lance's Dragonite appeared again during ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

A Dragonite that belonged to the original [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Blackthorn Gym]] appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs For Nothing]]''. This Dragonite went on a rampage when [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in the following episode.

[[Professor Oak]] is revealed to own a very powerful Dragonite in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Lance]], leader of the [[Elite Four]], has a Dragonite.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Dragonite has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Dragonite is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Its stats are fairly similar to {{p|Salamence}}'s, with Salamence having lower defensive stats but higher Speed.
* In [[Generation I]] games, Dragonite didn't have a horn. One was added during Generation II.
* Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Dragonite evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* A Dragonite in Red, Blue, and Green has an illegal move, {{M|Barrier}}. This Dragonite belonged to [[Lance]]. Lance would later have another Pokémon with an illegal move: A [[Generation II]] {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} (Aerodactyl could not learn Rock Slide legally until [[Generation III]]).
* In Red and Blue, Dragonite's unevolved form Dratini has the lines on its stomach that it shares with Dragonite, the middle evolution, Dragonair, doesn't.
===Origin===
Appearance-wise, it is similar to {{wp|European dragon}}s. In regards to its friendly nature and high intelligence, it is closer to a ''lóng'', a traditional {{wp|Chinese dragon}} who brings good luck.
====Name origin====
Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}},'' "ignite," or ''night''. It could also refer to ''draconite'', a mythical stone of dragons. Its Japanese name is a combination of 海 ''kai'', ocean, or 破壊 ''hakai'', destruction, and 竜 ''ryū'', dragon.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracolosse - ''Draco'' is {{P|Dragonair}}'s name in French, and ''colosse'' means colossal.

'''Magnezone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ジバコイル ''Jibacoil'') is an {{2t|Electric|Steel}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Magnezone is the result of Magneton evolving in the presence a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at [[Mt. Coronet]]. One of the {{P|Magnemite}} that this Pokémon consists of has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color grey than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail. Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to {{p|Metagross}}, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.
===Gender differences===
Magnezone is genderless.
===Special abilities===
Magnezone can mostly the same moves that Magnemite and Magneton can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton's. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn {{m|Barrier}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}.

It can also cause blackouts on nearby cities due to its strong magnetism.

==Behavior==

==Habitat==
Magnezone can be found living in power plants, but they're much rarer than either Magnemite or Magneton. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at Mt. Coronet.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Magnezone feed of off electrical charges.

=In the manga=
==In Pokémon Special==
Cyrus took his Magneton to Mt. Coronet to evolve it. He ordered it and his {{p|Nosepass}} to attack {{Special|Diamond}}, {{Special|Pearl}}, and [[Berlitz]]; as they attacked, they evolved into Magnezone and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively.

'''Magnezone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ジバコイル ''Jibacoil'') is an {{2t|Electric|Steel}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Magnezone is the result of Magneton evolving in the presence a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at [[Mt. Coronet]]. One of the {{P|Magnemite}} that this Pokémon consists of has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color grey than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail. Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to {{p|Metagross}}, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.
===Gender differences===
Magnezone is genderless.
===Special abilities===
Magnezone can mostly the same moves that Magnemite and Magneton can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton's. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn {{m|Barrier}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}.

It can also cause blackouts on nearby cities due to its strong magnetism.

==Behavior==

==Habitat==
Magnezone can be found living in power plants, but they're much rarer than either Magnemite or Magneton. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at Mt. Coronet.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

Magnezone feed of off electrical charges.

==In Pokémon Special==
Cyrus took his Magneton to Mt. Coronet to evolve it. He ordered it and his {{p|Nosepass}} to attack {{Special|Diamond}}, {{Special|Pearl}}, and [[Berlitz]]; as they attacked, they evolved into Magnezone and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively.

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: バンギラス ''Bangiras'') is a {{t|Rock}}/{{t|Dark}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
Tyranitar resemble the Japanese creature [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]] and the dinosaur ''[[wp:Tyrannosaurus|Tyrannosaurus]]'', due to its short arms and powerful long tail. Also, two rows of spines make up its back, and its hide is known to make the Pokémon impenetrable. Tyranitar are known to go on month-long rampages that are usually catastrophic, as whole regions can be destroyed with a simple tail-swing. Tyranitar are located in mountainous regions, and create nests by breaking mountains apart.

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

===Special abilities===
Like some {{T|Dragon}} Pokémon, Tyranitar is capable of learning various elemental attacks, including {{M|Surf}}. Like all fully-evolved Pokémon, Tyranitar can know {{M|Hyper Beam}} or {{M|Giga Impact}}.

==Behavior==
Because of its Dark sub-type, Tyranitar are selfishly uncaring towards others and will challenge any Pokémon to a fight. When sent into a rage, it will obliterate the landscape around it, thus forcing maps to be redrawn.

==Habitat==
Tyranitar are mercifully rare in the wild. They normally live in the mountains.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Tyranitar first appeared in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. [[Vicious's Tyranitar|It]] was captured in a Dark Ball and used by [[Vicious]].

When [[Ash]] and company entered the mind of [[Ash's Larvitar]] during ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', they saw a vision of Larvitar being separated from its Tyranitar mother. That Tyranitar was seen during [[EP264|the following episode]].

A Pupitar belonging to a Pokémon Poacher evolved into Tyranitar in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

=Game data=
==NPC appearances==
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Tyranitar is a member of Team A.C.T.
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: [[Go-Rock Quads|Billy]] uses a Tyranitar in his attempts to stop the player.

'''Gravity''' is a {{t|Psychic}}-type move introduced in [[Generation IV]] that negates moves that levitate and fly for 5 turns.

=Effect=

Gravity is a move in the Other category that disables moves that require the user to go into the air, such as {{M|Fly}} and {{M|Bounce}}. It also disables moves that require levitation such as {{M|Magnet Rise}}. Along with that, it disables the {{t|Flying}}-type's immunity to ground, as well as the {{a|Levitate}} ability. It's also been shown to increase the accuracy of moves by 2 levels when in effect.

'''Porygon-Z''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ポリゴンZ ''PorygonZ'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{p|Porygon2}}. Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via [[trade|trading]] while [[held item|holding an item]].

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color, and most notably, with its head and body completely upside down, to go along with its status as a glitch. Its legs are attached oddly as well. The blue pattern on a Porygon2's stomach is also different; it now appears as a blue ring on Porygon-Z. Finally, its eyes are large and yellow with rings around the pupils, emphasizing the Pokémon being shocked.
===Gender differences===
Porygon-Z is genderless.
===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live absolutely anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
As with {{p|Porygon2}}, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not appear in the anime as a result of the ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'' incident.

Note: Porygon-Z can learn either {{M|Conversion}} or {{M|Conversion2}}, which can allow Porygon-Z to change its type.

Porygon-Z is capable of learning the following moves:
NOTE: Moves in bold are damage moves to which [[STAB]] apply, barring Porygon-Z changing type.

=Trivia=
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn Trick Room by level, so far.
* Porygon-Z is the only third stage Pokémon who can be legally obtained at level 1, since neither Porygon nor Porygon2's evolutions require gaining a level.
* Porygon-Z has the highest sp atk stat in the game excluding legendaries. It shares this title with Alakazam.
==Origin==
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it seems to be based on the concept of a bird created by computer graphics software. It is essentially a glitched Porygon2 with some minor differences.
===Name origin===
Its name is a misspelling of ''[[wp:polygon|polygon]]''. The "Z" could either refer to the [[wp:Z axis|Z axis]] in [[wp:Three-dimensional space|3D]] coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the [[wp:Latin alphabet|Latin alphabet]]).

'''Dusknoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヨノワール ''Yonoir'') is a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
Dusknoir is the evolution of Dusclops, appearing only in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Dusknoir's body is mostly black, with a yellow horizontal zigzag line on this Pokémon's torso which can open like a mouth (creating the illusion of a face). Dusknoir has now developed arms. Two yellow bands are near its wrists and its grey hands are similar to Dusclops'. Dusknoir has a grey, cylinder-shaped head with another yellow band near the top and a single black eye with a red pupil. Dusknoir has a yellow antenna on top of its head in which allows this Pokémon to receive transmissions from the spirit world, from where it receives commands to take people there. In addition, it may have ties to the Grim Reaper, as the player needs a Reaper Cloth in order for it to evolve. Dusknoir has a ghostly tail instead of feet like Dusclops, resembling the stereotypical depiction of a genie.

==Physiology==
On Dusknoir's torso there appears to be a face with two yellow eyes and a zig-zagged mouth.

It has lost the legs and wavy, cloth-like objects on its head and back that it had as a {{p|Dusclops}}. The neckband has turned into a double-neckband.

'''Dusknoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ヨノワール ''Yonoir'') is a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
Dusknoir is the evolution of Dusclops, appearing only in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Dusknoir's body is mostly black, with a yellow horizontal zigzag line on this Pokémon's torso which can open like a mouth (creating the illusion of a face). Dusknoir has now developed arms. Two yellow bands are near its wrists and its grey hands are similar to Dusclops'. Dusknoir has a grey, cylinder-shaped head with another yellow band near the top and a single black eye with a red pupil. Dusknoir has a yellow antenna on top of its head in which allows this Pokémon to receive transmissions from the spirit world, from where it receives commands to take people there. In addition, it may have ties to the Grim Reaper, as the player needs a Reaper Cloth in order for it to evolve. Dusknoir has a ghostly tail instead of feet like Dusclops, resembling the stereotypical depiction of a genie.

==Physiology==
On Dusknoir's torso there appears to be a face with two yellow eyes and a zig-zagged mouth.

It has lost the legs and wavy, cloth-like objects on its head and back that it had as a {{p|Dusclops}}. The neckband has turned into a double-neckband.

=Trivia=
==Origin==
Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly [[wp:cyclops|cyclops]]. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the Yamawarawa may have been the inspiration for this Pokémon.

===Name origin===
Yonoir is a combination of ''yo'' (another form of yoru--''night'') and ''noir'' (french word for ''black'').

Dusknoir's name is the same as above with ''dusk'' replacing ''yo''.
