== Then what happens to the trunk? ==

"{{p|Exeggutor}} originally came from the tropics. Its heads steadily grow larger from exposure to strong sunlight. It is said that when the heads fall off, they group together to form {{p|Exeggcute}}."

...so what does the trunk become if all the heads fall off? I wonder, could it survive without the heads? This is technically a form of devolving like if a [[Shellder]] detahces from a [[Slowpoke]].--[[User:JP585|JP585]] 22:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

== Heads ==

Exactly how many heads does it Exeggutor have? --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 11:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I've count sometimes 7 but mostly 6 and once in the manga one had 5 and some had 4.
sooo...
either 7,6,5,or 4 sometimes
(I'm sorry if I confuse)

==Faves?==
Should it be noted that one of the creators has named this his fave Pokemon (granted, it was before Generation II)? -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Chris]] 05:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:Um, do you have any proof??? --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 11:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
::I wish I could find it. It was listed as part of an interview in Nintendo Power long ago. He stated that his Exeggutor was his favorite and was at level 84. I'll poke around some more. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Chris]] 22:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't know how long it's been a part of the article, but apparently someone has already figured out that it was [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] I was speaking of. Would the exact quote from the Nintendo Power issues I was speaking of be a useful addition to the article? -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Bug Catcher Jam]] ([[User talk:Bug Catcher Jam|talk]]) 07:56, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

== Head facing player ==

Should it be noted that, up until Gen. 4, Exeggutor, like Mawile, is; in a sense; facing the player? {{unsigned|ShinyPikachu}}

== Barrage ==

I'm pretty sure Chancey can use Barrage, also any Pokemon that uses Metronome can use it.[[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 21:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
:Chansey has Egg bomb.Not barrage[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|DCM]]
::Said this on Exeggcute. Wasn't Barrage a TM from RBY? I can't remember correctly but I think it was in Safari Zone. [[User:Xanhawk|Xanhawk]] 00:02 Dec. 22, 2008
:::Nope. See [[Barrage|here]]. I highly doubt we've got it wrong. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

==Trivia about Melvin's Exeggutor==

The trivia section claims this:
:"While Melvin's Exeggutor waves goodbye to Ash and his friends at the end of The March of the Exeggutor Squad, additional heads can be seen in the back; this has, to date, appeared in no other media"

This is obviously bull, as ALL the Exeggutor throughout the episode are depicted as having additional heads, this is also the case for the Exeggutor in the episodes Round One Begin! & very briefly in Misty Meets Her Match. The back sprites for Gen I - III also show a fourth head.

Someone really needs to remove this from the trivia section, I would do it if this wasnt my first ever post... {{unsigned|Vuvuzela2010}}

Talk:Ribbon

2008-11-27T21:54:23Z

Bug Catcher Jam: /* Anime? */

I'm pretty sure there's a ribbon you can get in Colosseum from beating Mt. Battle ((story mode)) all in one go. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 02:17, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:Where do you get the Holiday Ribbons? [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 14:29, 20 January 2006 (CST)
:It's called the Earth Ribbon. This page reall yhad lots of wrong info. [[User:tc26|- tc26]] 03:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

How does everyone feel about pics? I have access to pics of most of the ribbons. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Unown Q]] 03:03, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

==About the ribbons...==

Does anyone know how exactly one obtains the holiday/tower ribbons? Also, there's another section from tower ribbons on "battle tower" ribbons, are these from the hoenn battle tower or the sinnoh one?
:For the holiday/tower ribbons, I'm not even sure they really exist. From what other sprite rippers have told me, the images for these ribbons aren't in any 3rd or 4th gen games. On battle tower, I'd treat it like we did for the Champ ribbon. Just combine the sections and place ribbons from both towers under it. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|BGJ]] 23:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
I noticed one ribbon that isn't here. It's the first ribbon that Dawn's mother, Johanna, ever won, which she gave to her in ''Following a Maiden's Voyage''. I'm not sure of the title of said ribbon, because where it is from is unsaid. [[User:Bulbapedian|Bulbapedian]] 19:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

== National Ribbon ==

Do Pokémon get it in Colosseum or just in XD? --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 19:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
:Both. It's a gift a Pokemon who has rid the shadow from their heart. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|BCJ]] 03:46, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

== Images ==

I'm not sure about having images aligned to the left, away from their descriptions. It can make it rather difficult to figure out which image goes with which description. This is aside from the fact that, as is, we have images aligned to different sides every other line. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|BCJ]] 03:57, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

== Anime? ==
What about anime ribbons? and the sun and lunar ribbons?--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:I don't see why they COULDN'T be added. Would images be hard to find? -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|BCJ]]''([[User talk:Bug Catcher Jam|talk]])'' 09:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I know this happened well before Ribbons were introduced, but wasn't Ash and a few others presented with a commemorative ribbon at the end of the Indigo League Conference? -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|BCJ]]''([[User talk:Bug Catcher Jam|talk]])'' 21:54, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Ability, huh? ==

"The Ability Ribbon and Great Ability Ribbon are awarded to Pokémon that have managed to beat the Tower Tycoon's team." Of course, Anabel was also the Tower Tycoon in Emerald, and gives out the Ability Symbol. Enough of a connection to mention? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

== [[AG013]] ==

Should this be counted as a ribbon? It takes place at Rustboro Contest Hall, but its outside of Rustboro City. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 18:36, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:Well, for right now I'll add it. If it doesn't work, you can remove it. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 18:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, I think so. As long as we know the city, its notable, right?--'''[[User:Mooites|Mooites]]''' [[User talk:Mooites|Talk to me, baby!]] 18:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::That's something I was thinking, but it said it took place outside the actually city but was counted as the city. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 18:39, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
==Hoenn and Sinnoh==
Wouldn't it be better to seperate the ribbons from Hoenn and Sinnoh?-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 10:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:Done. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 11:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Croagunk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''グレッグル''' ''Gureggru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Toxicroak}} at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighter, and its jutting teeth make it appear to be wearing a mouthguard. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to {{status|Poison|poison}} opponents by stabbing them.
====Gender differences====
The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.

====Special abilities====
Whenever its middle finger glows purple, it appears to be channeling its poison via its skin and onto its hand to use its {{t|Poison}} moves. Croagunk can have the ability {{a|Anticipation}} which makes the Croagunk shudder if the foe has a super effective, instant KOing move, or a move like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Croagunk live in moist areas close to bodies of water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock_gureggru.jpg|thumb|Croagunk in the anime]]
[[Brock]] captured a {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} in the episode ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]''.

Croagunk appears as a member of the [[Wigglytuff Guild]] in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]] special.

[[Pastoria City]] held a competition and festival for Croagunk in honor of their city mascot in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Saturn]] owns a Croagunk.

==In the TCG==

===NPC appearances===

==Trivia==
*Croagunk's English name, along with numerous others, was released on 13th February 2007. Due to the poor quality of the image, it was believed its name was "Croalurk". It was later officially revealed to be Croagunk.
*Croagunk is able to learn {{m|X-Scissor}} even though it doesn't have claws or scythes. Its evolution has claws though.
*Croagunk is the mascot of [[Pastoria City]].
*Croagunk and its evolution {{p|Toxicroak}} are the only Pokémon to have the {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Fighting}} type combination, and as such, they are the only Pokémon to have a double weakness to {{t|Psychic}} attacks.
*Despite being based on a frog, it is unable to breed with other frog Pokémon like {{p|Politoed}}, since it belongs to the [[Humanshape (egg group)|Humanshape egg group]] exclusively.

==Origin==
Croagunk may have been based on the {{wp|poison dart frog}}.
===Name origin===
Croagunk is probably a combination of ''croak'' and ''gunk''. The Japanese name comes ケロケロ ''kerokero'', the Japanese onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and げろげろ ''gerogero'', the Japanese word that's used to describe something disgusting. It may also be derived from 汚れ ''yogore'', filth.
Its German name, Glibunkel, comes from {{tt|Glibber|gunk}} and {{tt|Unke|fire-bellied toad}}. Its French name, Cradopaud, comes from {{tt|crapaud|toad}} and ''crado'', a familiar term for dirty.

==In other languages==

'''Croagunk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''グレッグル''' ''Gureggru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Toxicroak}} at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighter, and its jutting teeth make it appear to be wearing a mouthguard. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to {{status|Poison|poison}} opponents by stabbing them.
====Gender differences====
The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.

====Special abilities====
Whenever its middle finger glows purple, it appears to be channeling its poison via its skin and onto its hand to use its {{t|Poison}} moves. Croagunk can have the ability {{a|Anticipation}} which makes the Croagunk shudder if the foe has a super effective, instant KOing move, or a move like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Croagunk live in moist areas close to bodies of water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
*Croagunk's English name, along with numerous others, was released on 13th February 2007. Due to the poor quality of the image, it was believed its name was "Croalurk". It was later officially revealed to be Croagunk.
*Croagunk is able to learn {{m|X-Scissor}} even though it doesn't have claws or scythes. Its evolution has claws though.
*Croagunk is the mascot of [[Pastoria City]].
*Croagunk and its evolution {{p|Toxicroak}} are the only Pokémon to have the {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Fighting}} type combination, and as such, they are the only Pokémon to have a double weakness to {{t|Psychic}} attacks.
*Despite being based on a frog, It is unable to breed with other frog Pokémon like {{p|Politoed}}, since it belongs to the [[Humanshape (egg group)|Humanshape egg group]] exclusively.

==Origin==
Croagunk may have been based on the {{wp|poison dart frog}}.
===Name origin===
Croagunk is probably a combination of ''croak'' and ''gunk''. The Japanese name comes ケロケロ ''kerokero'', the Japanese onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and げろげろ ''gerogero'', the Japanese word that's used to describe something disgusting. It may also be derived from 汚れ ''yogore'', filth.
Its German name, Glibunkel, comes from {{tt|Glibber|gunk}} and {{tt|Unke|fire-bellied toad}}. Its French name, Cradopaud, comes from {{tt|crapaud|toad}} and ''crado'', a familiar term for dirty.

==In other languages==

== So featured articles... ==

Well, our current one's been up for more than a week, so I'm wondering...

#Ought we get a new one (aka, oh... Ash?) out there?
#Should we have some sort of regular schedule to the featuring?
#Will you guys ''ever'' nominate and vote on them quickly enough to feature them weekly? Monthly? Bi-monthly? How often?
#And if not... well, when should we go back to the normal MftE? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

:I think if it's simple enough to nominate articles, then we could see more use from this. I had to dig a bit through the links to find the other nominations... would a simple "Nominate an article" link next to the "read more" and "more featured articles" links be a good idea, perhaps? We could have an article with not only a list of nominations, but some simple instructions for how to nominate. Make it more accessible. We've got plenty of articles to nominate, not enough people looking for them.
:At this rate, a once-a-month nomination might work out nicely. With more activity, I'd say nominating faster then that would be nice. I personally think having featured articles is a fun thing, MftE makes for a good news feed, but that's about it. Featured articles give the front page more... appeal. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 08:35, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

::I completely agree. Monthly featuring would work great, and it makes the main page look much better. And if on one of the months we don't have a new one, we can use [[Poké Ball]] or [[Legendary Pokémon]], since they never made it to the main page, right? And there are already many good nominees. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 08:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
:::So we choose the next on the 21st? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:44, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
::::We can choose the next one whenever, I'd say. Then start up a cycle starting there. It's not a big deal if Brock gets featured for a little longer or shorter then the other featured articles we'll inevitably have. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 06:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

==Move updating==
We shouldn't count Struggle, Super Glitch, Secret Power (it doesn't need the template) and Vacuum-Cut as moves, so should we subtract 4 from that? However, we SHOULD count Wide Slash as a move, because in MD it's a TM. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] 16:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
:There are 467 moves minus Super Glitch, Vacuum-Cut, and Wide Slash. I went by the in-game DP number. Secret Power and Struggle... well, yeah. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:00, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

==The ads...==

I don't like the way they work. The ads-well, just look at them! They make this site seem less trustable, and especially since it's like "REGISTER OR BE FORCED TO LOOK AT WEIRD ADS!!!!" I like that I don't have to look at them, now I'm a member, but I don't think that this site should be sponsored by cleavage revelations. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 23:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

== Featuring ==

Why has the featured article been about Brock all the time? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 05:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

::The discussion's a few sections up on this page, and yep, seems to be about once-a-month. We don't really have a need to feature an article every day, besides, we'd run out of articles too quick if we did that. And featuring for a longer time gives the articles more "airtime". --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 16:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

==Can't create new page...==

I want to create a page for Rui Quintas and Peter Michael, our (Portugal) two James, but the way I use to create pages don't work... I have two ways: one is searching for the page, and then click on the button that says to begin that certain page. Another way I use is when the name of the page I want to create is red in another page, so I click on it and then I create the page...
However, this time, I can't create the page. Even if I put [[]] around their names, it redirects to the list of international voice actors. See for yourselves - [[Rui Quintas]]. And the same thing if I search.
Is there any other way to create pages? Or can you please resolve this little unwanted redirect, please?[[User:Portuguese Old Man|Portuguese Old Man]] 18:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Whether or not people consider right or wrong, it should still be allowed on the site. This is a Pokémon encyclopedia after all. If shipping in general is part of this encyclopedia, then homosexual ships should be included as well to make the site as complete as it can be. Just because some people find it offensive is no reason to remove it ({{p2|Jynx|though it does happen...}}). Some people find shipping in general to be offensive, while some disagree with having spoilers of things that have only been shown in Japan at the time. These aren't going to be removed, so why should this? {{Unsigned|Hyper Turtwig}}

While I'm definately not immersed in the shipping scene, I do notice a few trends that don't have articles yet, like Ash's Chikorita/Bayleef having her obsession over Ash, it's probably as significant as the Latias one. The side of me that likes to add articles started kicking in, but really, what does one do, just make an article and make up a name for the shipping?

:''This article is about the Pokémon Researcher. For the English voice actors, see [[Bill Rogers]] or [[Billy Regan]].''
----

[[Image:Bill.png|frame|right|'''Bill''', from a piece of [[Generation III]] artwork]]'''Bill''' (Japanese: '''ソネザキ・マサキ''' ''Masaki Sonezaki'') is a [[Pokémon]] Researcher, widely regarded as an expert in many fields, who makes many appearances in the games. Bill is most commonly found in his [[Sea Cottage]], which is north of [[Cerulean City]] at the end of {{rt|25}}. He is most notable for his first appearance in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} versions and for his [[Pokémon storage system]] that has been pertinent in the entire main series.

==In the games==
Bill is the talented and famous inventor. He invented the original [[Pokémon storage system]] and [[Time Capsule]].

People, including himself, call him Pokémaniac because of his large collection of both common and rare Pokémon. The first one he caught was an {{p|Abra}}; however, his favorite Pokémon are {{p|Eevee}} and the [[Eeveelutions]]. Bill also gives a free Eevee to {{ga|Gold}}/{{ga|Kris}} in [[Generation II]] and another one to [[Bebe]] in [[Generation IV]], which is later given to {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}.

Bill has friends among other computer experts. One of them is [[Celio]], his old friend from [[One Island (town)|One Island]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]. He is also close with [[Lanette]] and [[Bebe]], the storage system developers of [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], respectively.

Bill also has some fans, like [[Pokémaniac]] Brent of [[Generation II]] who calls the player with information about him. Most of his calls are trivia about Bill himself and his family, such as the fact that Bill's mother used to be a [[Kimono Girl]] and that Bill's younger sister can't wink. Brent also revealed the fact that Bill is lactose-intolerant, which was also stated by Celio in [[Generation III]].

Bill is shown to have a large family. In [[Fuchsia City]] lives his adult sister and grandpa, who in [[Generation II]] watches over Bill's cottage on Route 25 while he is visiting the rest of his family in [[Goldenrod City]].

In the Japanese versions of the games, Bill speaks in Kansai Dialect like most [[Goldenrod City]] natives.

===[[Generation I]]===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Bill is found at the [[Cerulean Cape]], initially performing an experiment on Pokémon teleportation. However, Bill is combined with the body of a Clefairy and requires the player's help to fix the problem. After things are back in order, he speaks about his Pokémon storage system and what was formerly on the PC menu as "Someone's PC" changes to "Bill's PC". He will also give away an [[S.S. Ticket]] so that the player can board the [[S.S. Anne]].

===[[Generation II]]===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Bill is visiting his family in [[Goldenrod City]]. After he gets the [[Time Capsule]] up and running in [[Ecruteak City]], players can visit him in Goldenrod and receive an {{p|Eevee}}.

===[[Generation III]]: [[Hoenn]]===
While visiting [[Lanette]], players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. The English translation of the E-mail makes it seem as if Bill is crediting Lanette for upgrading his system, whereas the Japanese text clearly establishes that he and Lanette are co-developers of the original system.

===[[Generation III]]: [[Kanto]]===
In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], Bill is in the same area as in the original games. However, he also appears on [[Cinnabar Island]] asking for help in the [[Sevii Islands]] shortly after [[Blaine]] is defeated. While on [[Knot Island]], he introduces the player to [[Celio]].

===[[Generation IV]]===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[Bebe]] mentions that Bill invented the original PC storage system, and that she tinkered with it to make it easier to use. Upon giving the player an Eevee, Bebe refers to Bill as a friend from Johto to whom the Eevee previously belonged.

==In the anime==
[[image:Bill.jpg|frame|'''Bill''' talking about the world of Pokémon.]]
{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] meet Bill at his lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', his Japanese voice actor was ''Masaya Onosaka'', his English voice actor was [[Maddie Blaustein]] and his Brazilian Portuguese voice actor was [[Marcelo Campos]].

Bill had previously been trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume for what he claims to have been hours (in the dub only; the original didn't state how long he had been in the costume) until Ash finally comes to press the release button for him. Afterwards, Bill fulfills a request made by Professor Oak to give Ash and his friends a lesson on the basics of Pokémon, during which Bill shares the idea that there may be many more than just 150 species of Pokémon. The remainder of his appearance is spent focused on explaining to Ash and company his recent project, involving a {{p2|Dragonite|mysterious Pokémon}} whose cry can be heard across the sea.

==In the TCG==
[[Image:Bill2.jpg|frame|right|'''Bill''', from a TCG illustration]]
[[Bill (Base Set)|Bill]] appears on his own card in the {{TCG|Base Set}}. It allows the player to draw 2 cards from their deck. In the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion, he appears on a card called {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Bill's Teleporter|91}}, that gives the player of chance of drawing 8 cards. In the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion, he appears on a card called {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mail from Bill|105}}, and in the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and {{TCG|EX Crystal Guardians}} expansions as well as {{TCG|POP Series 5}}, he appears on a card called {{TCG ID|Expedition|Bill's Maintenance|137}}.
{{Clear-right}}

==In the manga==

===In the How I Became a Pokémon Card Manga===
In the first chapter of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], a younger Bill rescues a lost {{p|Dratini}} from an angry crowd and it lives with him for a couple of days, until its father, an angry {{p|Dragonite}}, begins to go on a rampage. Dratini returns home, promising to always be friends with Bill.

Also, Bill makes appearances in [[Pokémon Zensho]] and [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
[[Image:Bill_manga.jpg|thumb|200px|In [[Pokémon Special]], Bill serves not just as a scientist and inventor, but as part of the [[Pokémon Association]].]]

Bill is being dragged into all sorts of misadventures in almost every chapter ever since [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] when he is turned into a mutated {{p|Rattata}} by his experiments and snatched up by a {{p|Fearow}} in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]''. In this same chapter Bill offers to help {{Special|Red}} with his Pokémon's storage problems, making allusion to his [[Pokémon storage system]]. His other exploits including helping Red find and capture an {{p|Eevee}} that had escaped from [[Team Rocket]]; facing [[Lorelei]] in combat with {{Special|Yellow}}; fighting alongside [[Lt. Surge]] against [[Bruno]] on [[Cerise Island]]; and being attacked by a group of playful {{p|Staryu}} after meeting {{Special|Crystal}}.

Bill not only designed the Pokémon storage system, he also maintains it from his home, and is the one who repairs it after the [[Mask of Ice]]'s [[Team Rocket]] sabotaged it, allowing trainers from all over to send their Pokémon to aid Red, {{Special|Green}}, {{Special|Blue}}, Yellow, {{Special|Gold}}, {{Special|Silver}} and Crystal in their battle against {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. He also creates a portable Pokémon Transfer system using a [[PokéGear]] and a [[Pokédex]], allowing Crystal to send [[Professor Oak]] the Pokémon she captured while the system is down.

At the end of Volume 15, he is showed working with [[Daisy Oak]], and they seem to be getting along well, hinting at a possible relationship between the two, although there is never any solid evidence provided later.

His Pokémon include {{p|Vulpix}} (which he keeps as a guard "fox"), {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Exeggcute}} (which evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}} during the chapters taking place in the [[Sevii Islands]]) and {{p|Farfetch'd}}. In the Japanese version, Bill speaks with an Osaka accent. However, as Osaka accent is impossible to render in English version, in English version he speaks with a Southern or Texan accent, which is commonly used when translating manga and anime to the similarity in perception of the two accents between the two cultures.

==Trivia==
* Bill being mixed with a Pokémon during a teleportation experiment seems to be a direct reference to the movie ''{{wp|The Fly}}'', in which a scientist experimenting with teleportation pods ends up combined with a fly.
* If a player declines to go to the [[Sevii Islands]] after defeating [[Blaine]], Bill will wait in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s Pokémon Center. During this period, he is both back at his home on [[Route 25]] and on Cinnabar Island at the same time.
* In the anime, Bill has green hair, and appears to be wearing something strangely formal. This is somewhat awkward compared to the TCG card image and his appearances in various manga, where he wears a t-shirt and his hair is a darker brown hue. It also contrasts with his in-game attitude, where he states that he "can't stand fancy dos."
*Many rumors sprouted up during the time of Generation I where if the player could travel to the gap which appeared at the back of Bill's House, they would encounter Mew. This proved to be false and to stop further rumors, the gap had been removed in the Generation III remakes.

==Name origin==
Bill's name may be derived from {{wp|Bill Gates}}, former head of Microsoft, and developer of the {{wp|Microsoft Windows}} operating system for PCs. His Japanese name, Masaki, means {{wp|Japanese Spindle}}. It is also similar to みさき ''misaki'', meaning cape, where he lives.

'''Ash's Torkoal''' (Japanese: '''サトシのコータス''' ''Satoshi's Cotoise'') was the fourth [[Pokémon]] caught by {{Ash}} during his travels through [[Hoenn]]. Its voice actor in Japanese is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'', and its English voice actors are [[Maddie Blaustein]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] ({{PUSA}} dub).
[[Image:Ash Torkoal.png|left|thumb|200px|Ash's Torkoal crying]]
Ash caught Torkoal in the episode ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]''. Ash and his friends were traveling through the [[Valley of Steel]] when they saw a lone Torkoal being attacked by a {{p|Skarmory}} and many {{p|Magneton}}. After Ash saved it, Torkoal burst into tears and then ran away after hearing the sound of a {{p|Steelix}}. Later, Ash helped it defeat the Steelix that ruled over the valley and Torkoal decided to join him.

Torkoal is very emotional. It bursts into tears for even the smallest of reasons. Torkoal gets along with everyone. It has only been used in one [[Gym]] battle, against [[Norman]] and his {{p|Slakoth}}. However, it has had many battles against other trainers and has been quite successful, such as when it defeated a {{p|Scizor}} in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''. Torkoal also seemed to have a friendship with the {{an|Spoink}} that appeared to Ash's group on a few occasions and also giving it assistance.

Ash also used Torkoal in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. After the Conference, Ash left Torkoal at [[Professor Oak]]'s Lab. Ash again used it in his second battle against [[Pyramid King Brandon]] where it returned for a battle against Brandon's {{p|Registeel}} with the newly learned move {{m|Heat Wave}}. Torkoal was able to put up a fight against Registeel but eventually it lost.
[[Image:Iron Defense Anime.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Torkoal using {{m|Iron Defense}}]]
When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], he left Torkoal with [[Professor Oak]].

==Moves used==
* {{m|Flamethrower}}
* {{m|Iron Defense}}
* {{m|Overheat}}
* {{m|Body Slam}}
* {{m|Heat Wave}}
 

==Trivia==
*This is [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] second Pokémon based on a turtle or tortoise, the first being [[Ash's Squirtle|Squirtle]] and the third being [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]].
*This is Ash's only {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon that is not a [[starter Pokémon]].
*Torkoal is the only one of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon not to be owned or attempted to be captured by another [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]]. But, like the other Fire-type Pokémon, Torkoal was saved by Ash.
*Torkoal was the 30th Pokémon species Ash ever owned, counting {{AP|Haunter}}, {{AP|Larvitar}}, and {{AP|Raticate}}.
*Torkoal was the first of Ash's Pokémon to be featured on [[Ash's Torkoal (7th Movie Half Deck 9)|a TCG card]].

'''Electivire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレキブル''' ''Elekibull'') is an {{Type2|Electric}} Pokémon. It is the final form in the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Electivire is a humanoid creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, and five black fingers on each of its hands. It lacks a neck, similarly to its baby form, {{p|Elekid}}, and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead and the same antennae as {{p|Electabuzz}}. There is a pattern on Electivire's back that resembles an electric outlet, and it has two black tails that each have a red tip. Electivire has black feet with three toes in the front.

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

====Special abilities====
Electivire can use attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, except that Electivire's attacks will be more powerful. However, Electivire is also capable of knowing {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. {{t|Electric}}al attacks are unable to do any damage to Electivire, but they will instead stimulate its muscles so it can move faster.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Electivire usually feed off of electric currents. In the last episode of the [[Advanced Generation series]], when [[Team Rocket]] first see Gary's Electivire, it was eating fruit that it got off of the trees.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gary's Electivire.jpg|thumb|right|Gary's Electivire]]
[[Gary Oak]] used an Electivire to battle against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

[[Gary's Electivire]] appeared once more in [[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]] It was used to protect {{p|Shieldon}} from being captured by [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

==Trivia==
* Despite being used to advertise Sinnoh to Ash by Gary in the anime, Electivire isn't obtainable in Sinnoh until after having beaten the Elite Four, and even then only by twice evolving a Pokémon caught via the [[dongle method]].

*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}}.

===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}}.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Rizaadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[ability]] {{a|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum [[HP]].

Charizard [[evolve]]s from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[Level]] 36.

Charizard is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the [[Pokémon Ranger]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] boxarts.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Because of the wings it has grown, Charizard can {{M|fly}} and can use many other {{Type2|Flying}} abilities. As its pre-evolutions could, it can use {{type2|Fire}} moves.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG136 022.jpeg|frame|left|Ash's Charizard using {{m|DragonBreath}}.]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]''.
[[Image:JnJCharizardAggron.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and James with their {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and {{TP|James|Aggron}}.]]
A trainer used a Charizard in the {{to|Verdanturf}} [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May]]''.

In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG176|Grating Spaces]]'', {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} gave [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a Charizard and {{p|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and James getting {{TP|James|Aggron}}, respectively. However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], one of {{Special|Green}}'s main Pokémon is a Charizard, evolved from his {{p|Charmander}}. [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] also has a Charizard in the [[Battle Frontier]] storyline.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].

In [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he received from Professor Oak.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and rereleased in the {{TCG|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} expansion.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Charizard to use {{m|Rock Smash}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Charizard makes an appearance as a Pokémon released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, Charizard will utilize {{m|Flamethrower}} alternating between the left and right. In Melee, the flames have more of a downward angle.

Charizard is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}} in the third game in the series, Brawl. It can use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}. It also uses {{m|Fly}} and has the ability to glide. Charizard is a Heavyweight and attacks with various physical attacks. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

====Melee trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

====Brawl trophy information====
A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, Flamethrower, is a reliable technique.

==Game data==

==Trivia==
* Even though Charizard is supposed to evolve from {{p|Charmeleon}} through leveling up, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Charmeleon evolves by falling into a pit of lava. This may be due to the fact that Snap based more on the anime than the handheld games.
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]], but it can't in Red and Blue. This was changed starting with Yellow, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games, by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.
* Charizard is the first {{t|Flying}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* Charizard is the only non-legendary Pokémon that is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon. The other known Pokémon with this combination are {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, both of which are legendary Pokémon and that resemble a phoenix.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard is one of a few Pokémon whose shiny form is of a vastly different palette from its previous forms. In this case, Charmander's and Charmeleon's shiny form are golden while Charizard's shiny form is black.
* Charizard and its pre-evolutions are similar to the Pokémon {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Shelgon}}, and {{p|Salamence}}, as both evolutionary lines end with the final being able to {{m|fly}} and being more draconic.
* Charizard is the first Pokémon in National Dex order to have a double weakness to a certain type, namely {{type2|Rock}}.
* Charizard, together with {{p|Gyarados}}, resembles a dragon, even though it is not a {{type2|Dragon}}.
* Charizard is the only non {{type2|Dragon}} to learn {{m|Dragon Claw}} by level-up.
===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, which had many forms in the legends that described it. Although it is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, it can learn {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

====Name origin====
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glurak - Comes from ''{{tt|Glut|ember}}'' and ''{{tt|Drache|dragon}}''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracaufeu - Effectively translates as ''Fire Dragon''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 리자몽 ''Rijamong'' (Lizamon)
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 噴火龍 Pēn Hǔo Lóng ("fire spurting dragon")

==In the anime==
In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', [[Paul]] battled [[Cynthia]] in a location called 自然公園 ''Natural Park'', which was called Amity Square in the [[dub]].

==Trivia==
*One of the few Pokémon allowed out from the [[Poké Ball]] is Pikachu, which did the same throughout the game {{game|Yellow}}.
*No {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are allowed in Amity Square.
*[[Ash Ketchum]] and most of his {{AP|friends}} have a Pokémon that can be used in Amity Square: Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Misty]] has {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, [[Brock]] has {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}, {{an|May}} has {{TP|May|Skitty}}, and had {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{an|Dawn}} has {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. The only ones who don't have an Amity Square Pokémon are [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] and [[Max]], and the latter because he doesn't have any Pokémon.
*There is also a small location in [[Fall City]], [[Fiore]] called Amity Square.
*It is revealed by a citizen of [[Hearthome City]] that Mr. Backlot, owner of the [[Trophy Garden]], owns Amity Square.
*There is a way to bring any Pokémon into Amity Square, although you won't be able to see it behind nor will it pick up items. If you use the walk through walls cheat the first Pokémon in your party will walk with you. Only in dialog (when talking to one of the women near the exits).

Feel free to speak with me here. However, I ask the following:

*1. When starting a new topic, please give it a title.

*4. Please assume good faith and remain civil.

Thank you and have a great day. -- Chris

__TOC__

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Tina|{{color|E75480|Tina}}]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|{{color|E75480|☆}}]][[User talk:Tina|{{color|E75480|♫}}]] 03:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

== Link Templates ==

Please use the link templates when linking to Pokémon names and other stuff. For example, <nowiki>{{p|Ivysaur}}</nowiki> instead of just <nowiki>[[Ivysaur]]</nowiki>. This way, you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

__TOC__

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! [[User:Tina|{{color|E75480|Tina}}]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|{{color|E75480|☆}}]][[User talk:Tina|{{color|E75480|♫}}]] 03:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

:Fix'd. Thanks for the heads up. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|Chris]] 16:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Link Templates ==

Please use the link templates when linking to Pokémon names and other stuff. For example, <nowiki>{{p|Ivysaur}}</nowiki> instead of just <nowiki>[[Ivysaur]]</nowiki>. This way, you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full course on how link templates work, look at the {{bp|shortlinks}}. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

== Link Templates ==

Please use the link templates when linking to Pokémon names and other stuff. For example, <nowiki>{{p|Ivysaur}}</nowiki> instead of just <nowiki>[[Ivysaur]]</nowiki>. This way, you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

For a full course on how link templates work, look at the {{bp|shortlinks}}. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

==Geography==
Turtleshell Pond is a small, clear, bubbly pond. It appears to have turtle shells floating in it, but they may very well be oddly-patterned rocks. It also has a very large rock, or possibly a small building, rising out of the water in its aproximate center. As opposed to walking on the water, the Pokémon there stay on the boardwalk between the grassy shore and the rock/building in the middle.
