It is the final form of {{p|Torchic}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blaziken''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Blazikenite}}.<br /> <br /> ==Biology==<br /> Blaziken is a bipedal, chicken-like Pokémon. The majority of Blaziken's body is red with accents of beige, yellow, and gray. Behind its head, there are beige, hair-like feathers that continue downward and surround its chest and abdomen. It has a small red face with a V-shaped crest on its head. Blaziken's eyes are semicircular with yellow sclera and blue irises, and its mouth is similar to hooked beak. It has featherless, gray hands with three fingers each, and three clawed toes that are not normally visible due to the shaggy, yellow feathers on the bottom of its legs. A female has a shorter mask and hair than a male.<br /> <br /> Blaziken has strong, muscular legs that give it great lower body strength. This lower body strength helps its kicking and jumping abilities. Blaziken's wrists have gray wristband-like markings capable of producing a tuft of fire above them. Blaziken can also make flames spout from its ankles. This allows it to cloak its feet or fists, and it uses these abilities while practicing a form of {{wp |martial art}}. These combined abilities allow it to use its former [[signature move]], {{m|Blaze Kick}}. Its flames burn more intensely when it faces stronger opponents. Every several years, its old feathers burn off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place.<br /> <br /> As Mega Blaziken, it loses its yellow markings, and gains black markings on its upper legs and chest. Its hair like feathers take on a wing-like shape and point upward, and the portion around its chest is rough around its shoulders. The crest on its head changes into a flat horn that curves backward. The fire it creates on its wrists is now longer, as well.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:May and Blaziken.png|thumb|left|250px|Blaziken in the anime]]<br /> [[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> ====[[Harrison's Blaziken]]====<br /> {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} was first seen in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]''. {{jo|Harrison}} used it to defeat the {{p|Sneasel}} that was blocking access to the flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Harrison later used Blaziken in a climactic battle with [[Ash's Charizard]]. <br /> <br /> ====[[May's Blaziken]]====<br /> In ''[[AG191|Once More with Reeling]]'', {{an|May}}'s Combusken evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}. She brought it with her to [[Johto]], and it was one of the Pokémon she used when she returned in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.<br /> <br /> ====Other====<br /> Blaziken was also seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of [[Rafe]].<br /> <br /> Its [[Mega Evolution]] debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. It then reappeared in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'' and ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where its trainer, [[Blaziken Mask]], was revealed.<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> Another Blaziken appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]''.

Altaria]]'' when she met up with [[Winona]]. Although it was unable to win her the battle even with its increased power, subsequent training allowed it to earn her the Badge and back [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]'s Pokémon into a corner twice, the second time utilizing its newly learned {{m|Sky Uppercut}} in conjunction with [[Mumu]]'s {{m|Muddy Water}}.<br /> <br /> In the {{chap|Emerald}}, it was again seen in Sapphire's team being used to fight her way into the top floor of the {{ho|Battle Tower}}, and soon learned the ultimate {{type|Fire}} attack; {{m|Blast Burn}}.<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> {{main|Blaziken (TCG)}}<br /> <br /> ==Other appearances==<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros.

In the episode, several Heracross and {{p|Pinsir}} were having a territorial dispute. One of the Heracross followed Ash and {{ashfr}} as they tried to figure out a solution to stop the dispute, which, unsurprisingly, came in the form of Team Rocket. Team Rocket was stopped thanks to the Heracross, and the Pinsir were able to return to their forest, leaving the Butterfree and Heracross. However, the same Heracross was still intrigued by Ash and followed him for a little ways out of the forest. Eventually, Ash saw it following and the Heracross happily allowed itself to be captured.<br /> [[File:Shingo Scizor Ash Heracross.png|thumb|left|Heracross dodges Blade's attack.]]<br /> Heracross' battle debut came in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'' where it battled one of [[Rochelle]]'s {{p|Donphan}}, easily outclassing it before the battle was interrupted. Although it lost a subsequent battle to her most experienced Donphan, Ash was satisfied that it had gained significant battle experience. It scored a significant victory over Blade, [[Shingo]]'s {{p|Scizor}}, in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. Although it had trouble initially, with its {{m|Leer}} attack ineffective when Blade used {{m|Quick Attack}}, and then held in the air by its horn, Heracross' reaction time of 0.18 allowed it to pry out of Scizor's claws and then land a damaging {{m|Horn Attack}}. When Blade used {{m|Agility}}, Heracross sat and waited, forcing Shingo to choose between his laptop data and watching the battle. Eventually, Heracross managed to anticipate Blade and hit hard with {{m|Fury Attack}}. Shingo abandoned his laptop and began to order Blade's battle, where the two proved to be very powerful. However, Heracross managed to dodge Blade's Quick Attack, knocked it off balance when it attempted a {{m|False Swipe}}, and finished Blade off with Horn Attack.<br /> <br /> Heracross was sent to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' in exchange for one of [[Ash's Tauros]]. Ash sent Tauros back in the following episode, ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad]]'', but Professor Oak informed Ash that he wanted to study Heracross's behavior further. Ash agreed to allow Heracross to remain primarily at Oak's lab. It made an appearance in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador!]]'', where it was happy to see Bulbasaur (and more happy to see its bulb) at Oak's lab.<br /> [[File:Ash Heracross Gary Magmar.png|thumb|220px|Defeating Magmar with Megahorn]]<br /> Since then Heracross, like {{AP|Snorlax}}, has been called on by Ash for use in difficult battles. In the Johto League [[Silver Conference]], Ash used it in the league battle against {{Gary}}. Ash sent it out to fight Gary's {{p|Nidoqueen}}, but Gary quickly pulled Nidoqueen for his {{p|Magmar}}. Heracross fought Magmar regardless of the type disadvantage, sending Magmar flying with Fury Attack. Magmar launched a three pronged attack - {{m|Fire Blast}}, a point-blank {{m|Flamethrower}}, and its own body weight from the fall. However, Heracross overcame the flames by beating it away with its wings. It then broke through Magmar's defense with {{m|Megahorn}}, taking out the Spitfire Pokémon. However, {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}} proved to be a harder challenge, firing a {{m|Hydro Pump}} powerful enough to blow away Heracross' rock cover and take it out of the battle.<br /> <br /> In the special episodes, Heracross made a cameo appearance telling the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]]. <br /> <br /> ===Advanced Generation series===<br /> It appeared in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' where it met and shook hands with {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Ash used Heracross again in the battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser]]. Upon being sent out, Heracross immediately went to eat the sap on [[Spenser's Venusaur]]. It managed to knock aside the {{m|Razor Leaf}} with Horn Attack, before it was knocked back by a {{m|Vine Whip}}. The two Pokémon rammed into each other with {{m|Tackle}}, both proving to be extremely powerful physically. Heracross struck hard with a {{m|Megahorn}}, then took advantage of the {{m|SolarBeam}} charge-up time to hit again. However, SolarBeam then struck Heracross, knocking it out.<br /> <br /> ===Diamond &amp; Pearl series===<br /> [[File:Ash and Heracross.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash and Heracross]]<br /> Heracross reappeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where it was intended to be sent to Ash. However, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was sent instead. It did join Ash for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], where it was used for Ash's battle with [[Nando]] in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''. It was put up against [[Nando's Kricketune]], and sent flying by {{m|Silver Wind}}. Kricketune then used {{m|Sing}} to put Heracross to sleep. However, while asleep, it was able to dodge Kricketune's {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack, because of the newly learned {{m|Sleep Talk}} attack, and combine it with an also newly learned {{m|Focus Punch}}. After it woke up, it had a fierce clash with Kricketune, which Heracross ended with a powerful {{m|Megahorn}}/{{m|Horn Attack}} combo, just before Kricketune attempted another Sing. After the battle, Heracross showed its affection towards Ash by &quot;sucking on&quot; his head.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', it was the first Pokémon to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It seemed to be an excellent choice, with a double type advantage over the Dark type and a recently learned {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which collided with {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}. It tried to attack Darkrai with {{m|Horn Attack}} but was put to sleep by {{m|Dark Void}}. Due to Sleep Talk, it was able to hit the legendary Pokémon with a {{m|Megahorn}}, only to be defeated when Darkrai used {{m|Dream Eater}}, which allowed Darkrai to recover some damage dealt by Heracross.<br /> <br /> ===Best Wishes series===<br /> Heracross was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and characteristics==<br /> [[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]<br /> Heracross is an eager but easily distracted Pokémon, especially regarding sap. This was shown in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', where Meowth dropped a jar of sap to allow Team Rocket to escape with {{AP|Pikachu}}. It also likes to suck sap from plants or trees, as well as {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb whenever the two are together, annoying Bulbasaur enough to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to push it away. Again, this is distracting for it, as in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'' when it went for Bulbasaur's bulb before helping to rescue {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}. Heracross doesn't appear to care how much this annoys Bulbasaur.<br /> <br /> Despite these minor flaws, it is a powerful battler, and also extremely strong physically, capable of throwing {{TRT}}'s tank into the air in ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|bug|fighting|Ash Heracross {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Megahorn|1=Sleep Talk|2=Horn Attack|3=Hyper Beam|4=Focus Punch}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Megahorn|1=Sleep Talk|2=Horn Attack|3=Hyper Beam|4=Focus Punch}}|image2=Ash Heracross {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Tackle|1=Leer|2=Endure|3=Fury Attack|4=Take Down}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Tackle|1=Leer|2=Endure|3=Fury Attack|4=Take Down}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Horn Attack|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Endure|EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Leer|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Take Down|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Fury Attack|EP140|Wired for Battle!}}<br /> {{anmov|bug|Megahorn|EP269|The Ties That Bind|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Sleep Talk|DP183|League Unleashed!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|fighting|Focus Punch|DP183|League Unleashed!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Hyper Beam|DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|fighting}}<br /> * Ash told Heracross to use {{m|Fury Swipes}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''. This was a [[Anime move errors#Dub only|dubbing error]]. In the original, it was commanded to use {{m|Fury Attack}}.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Heracross's only {{t|Bug}} and {{type|Fighting}} moves, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}, are the moves with the highest base power of their types.<br /> * While Heracross's debut was prior to Generation IV, its horn pattern would indicate that its gender was male when it returned in Diamond and Pearl.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Animespecies|Heracross}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon|bug|fighting}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Heracross]]<br /> [[Category:Anime running gags]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Ashs Skaraborn]]<br /> [[fr:Scarhino de Sacha]]<br /> [[it:Heracross di Ash]]<br /> [[ja:サトシのヘラクロス]]<br /> [[pl:Heracross Asha]]<br /> [[pt:Heracross de Ash]]</div>

Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special breeding grounds for starter Pokémon. 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 starter Pokémon 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.<br /> <br /> Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:Starter Pokemon poster.png|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon<br /> File:LoT starters.png|[[Vincent]], {{jo|Marina}}, and {{jo|Jimmy}} with their starter Pokémon<br /> File:Hoenn starters anime.png|The Hoenn starter Pokémon;

however, it's unknown how she got them or which one she acquired first.<br /> * {{Gary}} started with a {{p|Squirtle}} whom he received from Professor Oak and who later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.<br /> * [[James]] started with his pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]];

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]]''.<br /> * Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.<br /> * Ash captured a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. 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}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.<br /> * {{an|May}} caught a 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}} and Squirtle evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.<br /> * In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.<br /> * Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} during her journey in Sinnoh. It later evolved into Quilava.<br /> * Ash reused his pattern from the [[original series]] of capturing all starter Pokémon in [[Unova]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. However this time around he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order rather than following it as he did in the original series, and Oshawott was in fact a starter Pokémon that Professor Juniper allowed Ash to have after it ran away to be with him. Of the three, only Tepig has evolved, becoming a {{p|Pignite}}.<br /> * 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 eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.<br /> * Ash returned in the XY series to catch a {{TP|Ash|Froakie}}, which used to belong to several other Trainers before being abandoned or abandoning the Trainer.<br /> * {{an|Clemont}} was given a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in [[XY010]] by [[Professor Sycamore]].<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédexes 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. In the Unova region, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow. The only starter given out by professors in the game but not in the manga is {{p|Eevee}}. However, it is shown to be the starter of an antagonist, [[Karen]]. Karen later evolved the Eevee into an Umbreon.<br /> <br /> 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 among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.<br /> <br /> ====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====<br /> * {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Poli]]wag he had since his childhood, which has evolved into a {{p|Poliwrath}}. His &quot;starter Pokémon&quot; was a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] given to him by Professor Oak, which became a '''{{p|Venusaur}}''' in his travels.<br /> * {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]], now a {{p|Scizor}}, he took to the training with [[Chuck]]. His &quot;starter Pokémon&quot; was a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}} given to him by his grandfather, which evolved twice into a '''{{p|Charizard}}'''.<br /> * {{adv|Green}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Jiggly]]puff, now a {{p|Wigglytuff}}, she received from the [[Masked Man]]. Her &quot;starter Pokémon&quot; was a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] she stole from Professor Oak, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Blastoise}}'''.<br /> * {{adv|Yellow}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her, which has evolved into a {{p|Raticate}}. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika]]chu, and after Red took him back, caught her &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a '''[[Chuchu|female Pikachu]]''' for herself. Like the Pikachu in {{v2|Yellow}}, neither evolved.<br /> * {{adv|Gold}}'s first Pokémon was his [[Aibo|Aipom]], now a {{p|Ambipom}}, that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep his &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a '''{{p|Typhlosion}}''' alongside the other two starter Pokémon.<br /> * {{adv|Silver}}'s first Pokémon was the [[Silver's Weavile|Sneasel]], now a {{p|Weavile}}, that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole his &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter Pokémon evolved twice into a '''{{p|Feraligatr}}'''.<br /> * {{adv|Crystal}}'s first Pokémon is officially her {{p|Smoochum}}, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Megaree|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became her &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;. It became a '''{{p|Meganium}}''' midway into their journey.<br /> [[File:Ruby and his starters.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Ruby}} and his first Pokémon from the left to the right: Rara, [[Kiki]] and [[Nana]]]]<br /> * {{adv|Ruby}}'s first Pokémon were the {{p|Ralts}}, [[Kiki|Skitty]] and [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, all of them having evolved into {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Delcatty}} and {{p|Mightyena}} respectively. Later, he got his &quot;starter&quot; from Professor Birch's [[Mumu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a '''{{p|Swampert}}''' from the concussive battles it underwent.<br /> * {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the [[Rono|Aron]], now a {{p|Aggron}} her father gave her. Later, he gave her her &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a [[Chic|Torchic]], which evolved twice under her care into '''{{p|Blaziken}}'''.<br /> * When {{adv|Emerald}} arrived in the Battle Frontier he had no Pokémon on hand. Then he challenged the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] using only Rental Pokémon, nearly at the end of the challenge, he noticed something suspicious about a '''{{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}''' so he decided to steal it from the facility and kept him afterwards, it is later is revealed that the Sceptile was supposed to be his in the first place, making it his &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.<br /> * {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his [[Lax (Adventures)|Munchlax]], and later he received his &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a [[Tru|Turtwig]] from Platinum because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to '''{{p|Torterra}}''' alongside the others.<br /> * {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chatler|Chatot]], and later he received his &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a [[Chimler|Chimchar]] from Platinum. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an '''{{p|Infernape}}'''.<br /> * {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], now a Rapidash, and later she received her &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an '''{{p|Empoleon}}''' under her care.<br /> * {{adv|Black}} started with a {{p|Rufflet}} that he captured with the help of a wild {{p|Munna}} he had befriended, and later acquired his &quot;starter Pokémon&quot;, a [[Bo|Tepig]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. It later evolved into an '''{{p|Emboar}}'''.<br /> * {{adv|White}}'s &quot;starter Pokémon&quot; was a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Serperior}}'''. This Servine was with [[N]] until [[Gigi]], the Tepig that White employed, went to his side. It was later revealed that Amanda was a Snivy that was going to be given out to new Trainers by Professor Cedric Juniper, but was liberated by N.<br /> * [[Lack-Two]]'s first known Pokémon is a {{p|Dewott}}.<br /> * [[Whi-Two]]'s first known Pokémon is a {{p|Foongus}}.<br /> * {{adv|X}}'s first known Pokémon is a {{p|Kangaskhan}}.<br /> * {{adv|Y}}'s first known Pokémon is a {{p|Fletchling}}.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * 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.<br /> * Two of the three Unova starter Pokémon, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter Pokémon or its evolutions with the shortest name.<br /> <br /> ===In the games===<br /> * All starter Pokémon in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.<br /> ** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a [[Shiny Pokémon]] could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.<br /> * The starter Pokémon from [[Generation I]] are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]. They appear in [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto's]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]], and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos's]].<br /> * In the main series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. This pattern is broken in {{game|X and Y|s}} when the starter at level 5 have both of these moves and one of their type.<br /> * All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.<br /> * Neither of the main series starter Pokémon that are based on birds ({{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}}) are neither {{type|Flying}} nor are able to {{m|fly}}.<br /> * {{p|Bulbasaur}} is the only unevolved dual type starter Pokémon.<br /> * {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved starter Pokémon with unique base stat totals.<br /> * The Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow is the only starter Pokémon that will not evolve unless traded to another game.<br /> * The Johto starter Pokémon are the only set of starter Pokémon that are a single type in all their evolutionary forms.<br /> * {{p|Chikorita}} is the tallest starter Pokémon at 2'11&quot; (0.9 m).<br /> * {{p|Froakie}} is the shortest starter Pokémon at 1'00&quot; (0.3 m).<br /> * {{p|Torchic}} is the lightest starter Pokémon weighing 5.5 lbs. (2.5 kg).<br /> * {{p|Turtwig}} is the heaviest starter Pokémon weighing 22.5 lbs. (10.2 kg).<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> * 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.'' &quot;In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon.&quot;<br /> * For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう ''Pātonā, mizu kusa honō, mayocchau.'' &quot;Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide.&quot;<br /> * Ash has owned the first five Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. All of them except Bulbasaur and Snivy have evolved since then.<br /> * Each {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], and Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].<br /> * {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. 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}}.<br /> * {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].<br /> * {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.<br /> * Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction, and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.<br /> * In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully evolved Sinnoh starter: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.<br /> <br /> {{Starter Pokémon|Arceus}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Starter Pokémon|*]]<br /> [[Category:Anime starter Pokémon|*]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Starter-Pokémon]]<br /> [[es:Pokémon inicial]]<br /> [[fr:Pokémon de départ]]<br /> [[it:Pokémon iniziale]]<br /> [[ja:御三家]]<br /> [[pl:Startery]]<br /> [[pt:Pokémon Iniciantes]]<br /> [[zh:初學者神奇寶貝]]</div>

It is light brown if male, and black if female. It has a dark gray back and muzzle with several holes in them. Sand often spills out of the ports on its back and its nostrils. This sand is stored internally, and is used to create twisters when attacking. It has a large, rounded snout, a mouth filled with peg-like teeth, and red eyes. Hippowdon has black feet with four blunt claws each. It is short-tempered, and may hold its mouth agape as a display of strength. Hippowdon's massive jaws are capable of crushing cars.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[Image:Bertha Hippowdon.png|left|thumb|250px|Hippowdon in the anime]]<br /> ===Major appearances===<br /> Hippowdon made its anime debut in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''. This Hippowdon was the father of the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}} that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} rescued in [[DP044|''Mass Hip-Po-Sis!'']]. [[Dr. Namba]] charged [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] with the job of obtaining a sample of the sand that Hippowdon shoots out.<br /> <br /> [[Jessie]] used a Hippowdon in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]<br /> <br /> [[Bertha]]'s Hippowdon appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' where it was used in a battle against [[Ash's Torterra]].<br /> <br /> ===Minor appearances===<br /> Multiple Hippowdon made cameo appearances in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.<br /> <br /> A Hippowdon briefly appeared in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' under the ownership of a Trainer where it was defeated in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] by another Trainer's {{p|Tangrowth}}.<br /> <br /> ===Pokédex entries===<br /> {{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|DP065|Hippowdon|Dawn's Pokédex|Hippowdon, the Heavyweight Pokémon.

This, however, earned the ire of the Pokémon, which proceeded to send him and the {{adv|Diamond|three}} {{adv|Pearl|Sinnoh}} {{adv|Platinum|trainers}} flying with its {{m|Sand Tomb}}. As a result, Diamond and Platinum landed in the outskirts of [[Lake Verity]], away from Pearl and Footstep, and promptly had to face two {{tc|Super Nerd}}s hired by [[Team Galactic]] to drive out intruders.<br /> <br /> Like in the games, [[Bertha]] has a Hippowdon.

It first saw Ash when he fell down from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. It continued to observe the gang until {{TRT}} intervened in Ash and {{an|Clemont}}'s friendly Pokémon battle. It volunteered to help out by successfully using its Frubbles to counter [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], but ended up receiving quite a bit of damage during the encounter. Ash then decided to take it to Professor Sycamore's lab, where it was treated and restored to full health. Upon asking about its Trainer, the professor told Ash that its Trainer had called to give Froakie back. He revealed that Froakie had gone through several Trainers, but came back either from leaving them or being returned for being [[Obedience|disobedient]].<br /> [[File:Ash and Froakie.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Froakie]]<br /> Later on, Team Rocket attempted to use a ring-type device against Froakie, but the lab's {{p|Garchomp}} got caught in the middle instead, causing her to go on a rampage after the machine malfunctioned. Ash, along with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and newly befriended Froakie, headed out to rescue Garchomp. In order to prevent her from falling down the Prism Tower, Froakie used its Frubbles on Garchomp's feet and Pikachu broke the device using {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br /> <br /> While leaving Professor Sycamore's laboratory the next day, Froakie threw a chunk of its Frubbles in Ash's face in order to get his attention. It was standing alongside a [[Poké Ball]] on the floor in front of it, expressing its desire to join his party. Froakie then happily pressed the Poké Ball's button and was {{pkmn2|caught|captured}}.<br /> <br /> In [[XY003]], Froakie was introduced to {{an|Professor Oak}}, who was fascinated by the Bubble Frog Pokémon. For most of the trip on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, Froakie was seen outside of its Poké Ball. After a wild {{AP|Fletchling}} took a Berry that {{an|Bonnie}} was going to give to a {{tp|Clemont|Dedenne}}, Froakie stubbornly attempted to fight Fletchling, only to lose. After Ash learned that it was only trying to get payback at Fletchling for making Bonnie sad, Ash and Froakie challenged Fletchling to one final battle, which ended in both its defeat and capture.<br /> <br /> In [[XY006]], Froakie helped train [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[Ash's Fletchling|Fletchling]] for the [[rematch]] against [[Viola]]. It used its Frubbles for Pikachu and Fletchling to dodge. In [[XY009]], it was used by Ash while he, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and Bonnie infiltrated the Lumiose City Gym in order to take it back from [[Citroid]]. It used its Frubbles to incapacitate a {{p|Magnemite}} and a {{p|Magneton}} belonging to Clemont, which were assigned to guard the Gym by Citroid.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and characteristics==<br /> Froakie is a stubborn Pokémon, displayed by the fact that it had several other Trainers that it refused to listen to, either forcing them to return it to Professor Sycamore or abandoning them and returning to the lab itself. It is also extremely similar to Ash personality wise&lt;!--, possibly more than {{AP|Pikachu}}--&gt;, as it is not afraid to leap into danger regardless of its own safety and doesn't back down from a fight. It is clear that it recognizes these traits in Ash, hence why it was finally willing to accept being taken into Ash's wing. It also has a sense of honor, as demonstrated when it attacked Fletchling just because it made Bonnie cry.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|water||Ash Froakie {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Water Pulse|1=Bubble}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Water Pulse|1=Bubble}}}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Pulse|XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Bubble|XY003}}<br /> {{anmov/f|water}}<br /> <br /> =====Moves improvised=====<br /> *'''Frubble''' (Japanese: '''ケロムース''' ''Keromousse'') — a physical characteristic of Froakie. It reaches into the bubbles on its neck, pulling out handfuls of bubbles and throwing them at its opponents much like an actual attack. This is used usually to subdue the opponent allowing for Froakie to strike while they are distracted. However, it can also be used as a kind of adhesive, and Froakie can also use the frubbles to make a copy of itself.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * With Froakie, this is the first time that Ash captures a [[starter Pokémon]] as his first Pokémon in a [[region]].<br /> ** Froakie is also Ash's first capture of a region that isn't a Flying-type since [[Ash's Heracross|Heracross]].<br /> * Froakie is Ash's first Pokémon to be owned by more than one Trainer before him.<br /> * Like Ash's Sceptile, his only Hoenn starter, Froakie is Ash's only Kalos starter.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Animespecies|Froakie}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon|water}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Anime Pokémon|water}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Froakie]]<br /> <br /> [[fr:Grenousse de Sacha]]<br /> [[it:Froakie di Ash]]<br /> [[ja:サトシのケロマツ]]</div>

Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.<br /> <br /> He originally trained {{type|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.<br /> <br /> One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This &quot;ability&quot; has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.<br /> <br /> Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{Badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a Contest there.<br /> <br /> Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Appearance==<br /> [[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|220px|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]<br /> Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time.<br /> <br /> He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime, until {{an|Iris}} in the {{series|Best Wishes}}.<br /> <br /> Brock, along with {{Tracey}} and {{an|Cilan}}, are the tallest of {{ashfr|Ash's traveling companions}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.<br /> <br /> Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes.<br /> <br /> ==Character==<br /> [[File:BrockAG.png|thumb|160px|left|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]<br /> [[File:Brock open eyes.png|thumb|right|220px|Brock with his eyes open in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]<br /> Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].<br /> <br /> Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.<br /> <br /> [[File:Max Brock ears.png|thumb|right|220px|Max pulling Brock's ears]]<br /> Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{si|Autumn}}, [[Narissa]] and [[Lizabeth]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women. <br /> <br /> His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> [[File:Brock family.png|thumb|right|220px|Brock's family]]<br /> Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.<br /> <br /> Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].<br /> <br /> [[File:Young Brock.png|thumb|220px|left|A young Brock]]<br /> Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.<br /> <br /> Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say &quot;that name&quot; whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]'' Brock mentions he participated in {{wp|Little League Baseball}} when he was younger.<br /> <br /> Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the Gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.<br /> <br /> [[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|245px|Some old memories of Brock with his traveling companions]]<br /> After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}}, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.<br /> <br /> Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', with the notable exception of the [[List of original series episodes#Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]], the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond &amp; Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked only under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode, and [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who have appeared in every episode except for the [[EP001|first]], [[AG120]] and a few episodes of the {{series|Best Wishes}}.<br /> <br /> [[File:BrockFantasy.png|thumb|right|250px|Brock as mentioned in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'']]<br /> Brock makes an appearance in [[SS025]] where it is revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he has been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the Pewter City [[Pokémon Center]]. In the episode, he plays a major role in helping [[Forrest]] to officially become the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the Pokémon League of the title change.<br /> <br /> Brock was mentioned in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' when Dawn learned that {{an|Cilan}} cooks for himself, Ash and Iris. She stated that this was similar to the way Brock used to for her and Ash before he decided to become a Pokémon Doctor. He also appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'' and in Ash's flashbacks of his memories with {{AP|Charizard}} in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.<br /> <br /> Brock returned in [[SS027]], where he met {{an|Cilan}}.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> As Gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock types. However, once he was able to leave his Gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.<br /> <br /> This is a listing of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As Brock has returned to Pewter City in order to study to become a Pokémon Doctor, most of his Pokémon are there and are not listed as &quot;on hand.&quot; <br /> <br /> ===On hand===<br /> {|width=&quot;30%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{ActivePoké|Brock|Croagunk|Brock Croagunk.png|poison|fighting|size=200px}} ♂<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===At Pewter Gym / Home===<br /> {| width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Steelix|Brock Steelix.png|steel|ground|fir=Onix|size=190px}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Geodude|Brock Geodude.png|rock|ground|size=190px}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Crobat|Brock Crobat.png|poison|flying|fir=Zubat|mid=Golbat|size=190px}} <br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Forretress|Brock Forretress.png|bug|steel|fir=Pineco|size=190px}}<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Ludicolo|Brock Ludicolo.png|water|grass|fir=Lotad|mid=Lombre|size=190px}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Marshtomp|Brock Marshtomp.png|water|ground|fir=Mudkip|size=190px}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Sudowoodo|Brock Sudowoodo.png|rock|fir=Bonsly|size=200px}} ♂<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Chansey|Brock Chansey.png|normal|fir=Egg|mid=Happiny|last=Chansey|size=200px}} ♀<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Returned===<br /> {| width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Brock|Vulpix|Brock Vulpix.png|fire|size=190px}}<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Caught for someone else===<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Ash<br /> |pkmn=Tauros<br /> |gender=male<br /> |type1=Normal<br /> |img=Tauros Herd.png<br /> |epnum=EP035<br /> |epname=<br /> |vajp=Katsuyuki Konishi<br /> |vaen=Katsuyuki Konishi<br /> |desc=Brock caught a {{p|Tauros}} in the {{safari|Kanto}}.

Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels.

However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed, and he stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.<br /> * Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''.<br /> * Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross-dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.<br /> * Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since evolved.<br /> * All of Brock's Sinnoh Pokémon have had their genders confirmed.<br /> ===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===<br /> There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a &quot;tall, Anglo-Saxon looking person to be on the safe side&quot;. They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character. However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.<br /> <br /> ==Names==<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;float:left; background: #{{rock color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{rock color}}&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;<br /> ! style=&quot;{{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | Language<br /> !

He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s first and main {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} rival.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> At the beginning, it was assumed that Paul was a Trainer just starting out. However, this was proven incorrect in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', in which he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Hoenn]], [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League}}s but didn't win anything before returning to [[Sinnoh]]. In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that Kanto was the very first region he traveled through.<br /> <br /> He first appeared in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Seperation]]'', although he only made a brief appearance at the ending of that episode; he was fully introduced in the next episode, ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', in which he challenged {{Ash}} to a 3-on-3 battle. After the battle resulted in a tie, Paul released one of the three {{p|Starly}} he caught, writing it off as weak, and walked off, and later appeared 3 episodes later in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]''; after exploring [[Bewilder Forest]] meeting Ash along the way, he then had a one-on-one battle with him and won. He caught his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} in the forest. During the episode, multiple times did he insult Ash and his {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}} by calling it pathetic, sparking their rivalry into motion. At this point did Ash begin to realize Paul's strategy of disregarding Pokémon and [[Release|releasing]] them would they not meet his expectations. He commented at the episode's end that he would not lose to Paul again.<br /> <br /> He then battled against the first [[Gym Leader]] [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|A Shape of Things to Come]]'' and creatively won, and although he stayed to watch Ash's first battle against him in the [[DP016|next episode]], he then walked off. His style of indiscriminately releasing weak Pokémon was shown again as after the {{p|Azumarill}} he was using failed to help him almost at all in the battle, he gave it away to some kid.<br /> <br /> He did not appear again until ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' in which he audaciously challenged the [[Sinnoh League]] champion [[Cynthia]] to a full 6-on-6 battle, but after his first four Pokémon were easily defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], he surrendered. He briefly appeared in ''[[DP046|A A-Maze-Ing Race]]''. He was then a participant in the [[Hearthome City]] Tag-Battle Tournament, in which he was ironically partnered with his rival Ash. After winning the quarter-final match, having been largely disappointed in his {{AP|Chimchar}}, released it (only to have it immediately claimed by Ash). He and Ash managed to win the tournament. He also revealed the story of how he captured Chimchar; he saw it, sometime in the past, use a highly impressive {{a|Blaze}} to counteract a horde of {{p|Zangoose}} that were violently attacking it. He captured Chimchar, but never while it was in his possession did he manage to reignite that Blaze. After winning the tournament, he, writing the tournament off as nothing more than an opportunity to boost his battling skills, gave his [[Soothe Bell]] prize to Ash.<br /> <br /> He also captured his {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. His next appearance was in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', in which he engaged in a best two out of three battle with Ash after engaging in an argument over Ash's true skills as a trainer. After using his Gliscor to easily defeat [[Ash's Gligar]], he then put his Ursaring against Chimchar. After having the lower hand for much of the battle, Chimchar activated its {{a|Blaze}} ability to easily defeat Ursaring. The battle was cancelled when Chimchar's Blaze couldn't be controlled since it was activated out of resentment and a determination to defeat Paul. Paul was impressed as the Blaze appeared much more powerful than the Blaze that drove him to initially capture Chimchar in the first place. He next appeared in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', in which he easily defeated Ash in a 1-on-1 battle with his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, who later helped [[Ash's Grotle]] handle the changes in it's evolution. He also participated in the [[PokéRinger]] challenge in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' with his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, and made it to the finals but lost to [[Ash's Staraptor]].<br /> <br /> In his next appearance, ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', much was revealed about Paul's motivation as a Pokémon Trainer and more about his character. When his older brother [[Reggie]] was a roaming Pokémon Trainer, he had lost to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. Reggie's loss to Brandon is what caused Paul to be so adamant about strength in battle. This single loss is also what caused Paul to become the callous person he was, and that was because of how his brother handled the loss. Instead of bearing the shame of his loss to Brandon, Reggie moved on with his life and put the loss behind him. Paul found this to be unacceptable, and he became disappointed of his brother. He challenged Brandon to a [[Full Battle]] in hopes that he would be able to do what his brother never could. However, Paul lost to Brandon without being able to [[fainting|knock out]] any of Brandon's Pokémon. Brandon said that this loss was because Paul was unable to control his emotions.<br /> <br /> Following Reggie's suggestion in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul battled {{Ash}} in a full battle in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. Here, he showed his true colors in battle and, despite Ash's {{p|Chimchar}} evolving into {{AP|Monferno}} and three of Ash's Pokémon using the [[Counter Shield]] strategy, Paul won the match easily with only at a loss of two Pokémon overall, {{TP|Paul|one of which|Ursaring}} defeated half of Ash's team nearly single-handedly. He had his Pokémon use a broad variety of strategies, which he kept up his sleeve until this battle, such as tempting Ash to send his {{AP|Staraptor}} up against his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} so he could attack it with {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} using {{m|Light Screen}} to aid its comrades, using his Ursaring against [[Ash's Pikachu]] so as to activate its {{a|Guts}} Ability, and his {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}} using {{m|Rock Tomb}} to protect itself against Water-type attacks. As a result, his strategy of completely overwhelming and outsmarting Ash with his more powerful Pokémon team succeeded with excellent results.<br /> [[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was revealed that Paul had earned the {{Badge|Mine}} from [[Canalave Gym]] and, by doing so, had collected the eight Badges he required to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].<br /> <br /> Paul reappeared in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', encountering Ash for the first time since their full battle. He also met his admirer {{an|Barry}} for the first time; however, Paul wasn't impressed by him and refused his offer for a battle, suggesting he battle Ash instead since he was denying all challenges to go into serious training. He later watched the battle between Ash's Monferno and [[Barry's Empoleon]] and when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Empoleon were nearly crushed by one of {{TRT}}'s damaged mechas, he saved the three with the help of his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}. He then witnessed Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}, who then saved Electabuzz and the other Pokémon from getting crushed. Paul was impressed by Infernape, and gained a little respect for Ash at how well he had raised it. When asked by Ash if they could have another full battle, Paul confirmed they would in the [[Sinnoh League]], and that Reggie was looking forward to seeing it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', he was shown in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', he passed the preliminary round. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', with his superior tactics and the superior power of his Pokémon, he defeated {{an|Barry}} in the third round. His next battle was against his rival Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', continuing into ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'' and ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. After a fierce battle, Paul was finally defeated, and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's respect. It also seemed Paul had decided to change somewhat, as when Electivire was defeated, he thanked it for a job well done, something that, up until that point, Paul never did, even if his Pokémon won. Afterwards, Paul stated that his next intention was to return to [[Snowpoint City]] and re-challenge Brandon. He briefly appeared in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', seeing Ash lose to Tobias.<br /> <br /> Privately commenting to Brock and Dawn on the battle between Ash and Paul, Cynthia predicted that they would both be entering the Champion League soon.<br /> <br /> Paul made a cameo appearance during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which he was seen visiting a ruin with statues of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and training==<br /> {{cleanup|section}}<br /> Paul's only concern in his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and {{pkmn|training|trains}} the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that [[friendship|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He also has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, especially Chimchar. He has also demonstrated similar behavior to {{p|Azumarill}}, {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} and {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. His catchphrase when calling out Pokémon is &quot;&lt;Pokémon&gt;, Battle Standby!&quot; in Japanese version and &quot;&lt;Pokémon&gt;, standby for battle!&quot; in English version.<br /> <br /> As a person, he is very callous at times and even brutal, especially in {{pkmn|battle}} and as a result, he has been shown to display very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile when dealing with Ash.<br /> [[File:Reggie and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Reggie and Paul]]<br /> Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. Paul also disagrees with his brother for giving up on being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. He feels his brother's approach and view on this to be wrong. Reggie cares about his brother and ultimately loves him as brother but has no illusions about Paul's character. He openly admitted sadly that Paul has always had a cruel streak.<br /> <br /> Paul has been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism. In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', he and {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} were seen to be able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near Bewilder Forest by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. This could indicate that Paul physically trains himself and not just his Pokémon.<br /> <br /> Paul originally felt that Ash was a weak Trainer when they first met, as shown with the capture of {{AP|Starly}} when he questioned Ash about how strong Starly was. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provided much fuel to their rivalry. Despite that, Paul barely recognized their rivalry and Ash as a Trainer and ignored his speeches about loving his Pokémon. However, Paul's first hint of respect for Ash was in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' when he was very surprised to hear that Ash had beaten Brandon in a Pokémon battle.<br /> <br /> Although Paul found most of the Pokémon in Ash's party at the time to be weak, he had shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as shown in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act To Follow!]]''. Paul was also angered by how Ash &quot;contradicts&quot; himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then uses similar ones, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being clearly different than Paul's.<br /> <br /> Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even bother to remember her name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. However, he talks to her about Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. Paul confesses his main problem with Ash is his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength through his bond with them and how any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of Reggie. Paul shows mild respect as well as distaste towards {{an|Brock}}, probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]], [[Nurse Joy]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. However it should be noted that keeping with his views of strong Pokémon and strong Trainers that he only respects actual Trainers with strong Pokémon. While he respects Professor Rowan and Nurse Joy for their wisdom and positions, he only respects Cynthia and Brandon for their abilities as Trainers. He is shown to have no respect for Gym Leaders who he feels are weak. While he was shown to respect [[Roark]] who he judged to be in the end a worthy opponent, he was openly rude and mean to [[Maylene]].<br /> <br /> After a fierce battle in the Sinnoh League Tournament, Paul was finally defeated and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's respect and ending their rivalry.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> {{incomplete|section|2=Japanese voice actors for Paul's Ninjask and Gastrodon}}<br /> As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. Whilst the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, and Ninjask's was revealed in a flashback during ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', his team has for the most part been captured off-screen. Several other Pokémon in his possession were captured on screen but later released.<br /> <br /> ===On hand===<br /> This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode and the ones used for the [[DP186|last]] [[DP187|full]] [[DP188|battle]] against Ash:<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Electivire<br /> |stage1=Elekid<br /> |stage2=Electabuzz<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |img=Paul Electivire.png<br /> |epnum=DP002<br /> |epname=Two Degrees of Separation! <br /> |vajp=Kenta Miyake<br /> |vaen=Bill Rogers<br /> |desc={{p|Electivire}} was the first of Paul's revealed Pokémon.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle in which it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Chimchar]]. It reappeared as an Electivire in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', having evolved off screen at a prior point. It was used by Paul to battle {{an|Barry}} and {{Ash}} in his league matches.

<p>Christiantm2: /* Evolution via trading */</p> <hr /> <div>There are numerous '''methods of evolution''' which define how and when Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]]. Most Pokémon will evolve by leveling up while others evolve through specific means, such as being traded, achieving a certain amount of friendship or leveling at certain times, among others.<br /> <br /> ==Triggers==<br /> Across all generations, Pokémon may only evolve after one of three events:<br /> *Gaining a [[level]]<br /> *{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone|Being exposed to an evolutionary stone}}<br /> *{{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Being traded}}<br /> <br /> Though these three are the activating events for evolution, there is always a catalyst required for the evolution to begin. If the catalyst is present and the evolutionary event is activated, the Pokémon will evolve at the end of the process that caused the activating event (at the end of a battle or after a trade has been completed). An {{evostone|Everstone}} held by the Pokémon will always prevent the evolution by level up or trade, but not by exposure to an evolutionary stone (except the evolution of {{p|Kadabra}} to {{p|Alakazam}} via trade in Generation IV and V, due to a glitch).<br /> <br /> ==Leveling up==<br /> Most Pokémon that evolve do so after leveling up. This can be triggered by gaining [[experience]] in battle or by using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Sometimes, several additional conditions must be met in addition to gaining a level for a Pokémon to evolve, such as being at or above a specific level, knowing a move, or being in a specific place. When these conditions are met, a Pokémon will attempt to evolve every time it gains a level unless the conditions are removed. A Pokémon left in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} will not evolve, though, even if the conditions are met. Pokémon will also not evolve if player loses the battle, no matter if the conditions are met.<br /> <br /> Note that if a Pokémon levels up under the conditions required for evolution and then faints before the battle is over, the Pokémon will still attempt to evolve at the end of the battle, but will not be revived from fainting.<br /> <br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{grass color}}; background: #{{grass color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot; | Leveling up<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{grass color light}}&quot; | [[File:152.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Chikorita|{{grass color dark}}}}<br /> | &amp;rarr;&lt;br&gt;Level up<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{grass color light}}&quot; | [[File:153.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Bayleef|{{grass color dark}}}}<br /> |}{{-}}<br /> <br /> ===At or above a certain level===<br /> {{Main|List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level}}<br /> Most Pokémon, with at least one in nearly every evolution family, will evolve when they reach or surpass a certain level. A Pokémon that levels up to this level or a higher level will attempt to evolve every time it does so, at the end of the battle in which it attained this level or after a Rare Candy has been used.<br /> <br /> ===When friendship is high===<br /> :''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}}''<br /> Some Pokémon will only evolve when their [[friendship]] reaches 220 or above and they are leveled up. This is most common with [[baby Pokémon]]; however, some others also evolve in this way. Like the friendship system itself, this method of evolution first debuted in [[Generation II]].

<p>Christiantm2: /* Evolution via trading */</p> <hr /> <div>There are numerous '''methods of evolution''' which define how and when Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]]. Most Pokémon will evolve by leveling up while others evolve through specific means, such as being traded, achieving a certain amount of friendship or leveling at certain times, among others.<br /> <br /> ==Triggers==<br /> Across all generations, Pokémon may only evolve after one of three events:<br /> *Gaining a [[level]]<br /> *{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone|Being exposed to an evolutionary stone}}<br /> *{{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Being traded}}<br /> <br /> Though these three are the activating events for evolution, there is always a catalyst required for the evolution to begin. If the catalyst is present and the evolutionary event is activated, the Pokémon will evolve at the end of the process that caused the activating event (at the end of a battle or after a trade has been completed). An {{evostone|Everstone}} held by the Pokémon will always prevent the evolution by level up or trade, but not by exposure to an evolutionary stone (except the evolution of {{p|Kadabra}} to {{p|Alakazam}} via trade in Generation IV and V, due to a glitch).<br /> <br /> ==Leveling up==<br /> Most Pokémon that evolve do so after leveling up. This can be triggered by gaining [[experience]] in battle or by using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. Sometimes, several additional conditions must be met in addition to gaining a level for a Pokémon to evolve, such as being at or above a specific level, knowing a move, or being in a specific place. When these conditions are met, a Pokémon will attempt to evolve every time it gains a level unless the conditions are removed. A Pokémon left in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} will not evolve, though, even if the conditions are met. Pokémon will also not evolve if player loses the battle, no matter if the conditions are met.<br /> <br /> Note that if a Pokémon levels up under the conditions required for evolution and then faints before the battle is over, the Pokémon will still attempt to evolve at the end of the battle, but will not be revived from fainting.<br /> <br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{grass color}}; background: #{{grass color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot; | Leveling up<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{grass color light}}&quot; | [[File:152.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Chikorita|{{grass color dark}}}}<br /> | &amp;rarr;&lt;br&gt;Level up<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{grass color light}}&quot; | [[File:153.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Bayleef|{{grass color dark}}}}<br /> |}{{-}}<br /> <br /> ===At or above a certain level===<br /> {{Main|List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level}}<br /> Most Pokémon, with at least one in nearly every evolution family, will evolve when they reach or surpass a certain level. A Pokémon that levels up to this level or a higher level will attempt to evolve every time it does so, at the end of the battle in which it attained this level or after a Rare Candy has been used.<br /> <br /> ===When friendship is high===<br /> :''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}}''<br /> Some Pokémon will only evolve when their [[friendship]] reaches 220 or above and they are leveled up. This is most common with [[baby Pokémon]]; however, some others also evolve in this way. Like the friendship system itself, this method of evolution first debuted in [[Generation II]]. Like those which evolve when at or above a certain level, a happy Pokémon will attempt to evolve every level until it hits level 100, unless its friendship is reduced.<br /> <br /> Although {{p|Pichu}} evolves when its friendship is high, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is an exception and will never evolve.<br /> <br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{flying color}}; background: #{{normal color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot; | Friendship<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{fairy color light}}&quot; | [[File:175.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Togepi|{{fairy color dark}}}}<br /> | &amp;rarr; &lt;br&gt; Friendship<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{flying color light}}&quot; | [[File:176.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Togetic|{{flying color dark}}}}<br /> |}{{-}}<br /> <br /> ===When the Pokémon knows a certain move===<br /> :''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve with certain moves}}''<br /> Some Pokémon evolve only if they currently know a certain move and are then leveled up. These moves are commonly available by leveling up (in which case the Pokémon will evolve at the end of the battle in which it learned the move), though some must be taught via [[Move Reminder]].

It is a hidden value determined when Pokémon is caught and cannot be affected by the player.<br /> <br /> ==Evolving by evolutionary stone==<br /> {{main|Evolutionary stone}}<br /> :''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}''<br /> Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to an [[evolutionary stone]]. The stone may be applied at any time and causes an instant evolution. The player can decide whether and when to evolve his or her Pokémon, but he or she must choose carefully as most Pokémon will no longer be able to learn certain moves when they evolve in this way, and some (like {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Togekiss}}) cannot learn any moves by leveling up, although there are {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale|exceptions}} to this rule and certain moves are exclusive to the stone-evolved Pokémon.<br /> <br /> The starter Pikachu on Pokémon Yellow (or any Pikachu with the same OT and ID number) will refuse to take the Thunderstone.<br /> <br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{fire color}}; background: #{{fire color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot; | Using a stone<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{fire color light}}&quot; | [[File:058.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Growlithe|{{fire color dark}}}}<br /> | &amp;rarr; &lt;br&gt; {{color2|000|Fire Stone}}<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{fire color light}}&quot; | [[File:059.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Arcanine|{{fire color dark}}}}<br /> |}{{-}}<br /> <br /> Usually there are no special requirements for stone-induced evolution, with only two exceptions: {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Snorunt}}. <br /> <br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | valign=&quot;top&quot; |<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{fighting color}}; background: #{{psychic color}};&quot;<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{psychic color light}}&quot; | [[File:281.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Kirlia|{{psychic color dark}}}}<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | &amp;rarr; &lt;br&gt; {{color2|000|Dawn Stone}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;(male)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{fighting color light}}&quot; | [[File:475.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Gallade|{{fighting color dark}}}}<br /> |}<br /> | valign=&quot;top&quot; |<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{ghost color}}; background: #{{ice color}};&quot;<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{ice color light}}&quot; | [[File:361.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Snorunt|{{ice color dark}}}}<br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | &amp;rarr; &lt;br&gt; {{color2|000|Dawn Stone}}&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;(female)&lt;/small&gt;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{ghost color light}}&quot; | [[File:478.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Froslass|{{ghost color dark}}}}<br /> |}<br /> |}{{-}}<br /> <br /> Note that sometimes the {{evostone|Oval Stone}} is said to be an evolutionary stone, because it is a stone and it is required for an evolution.

The evolution starts immediately after the trade is completed, regardless of the method of trading used. However, sometimes there are additional conditions. In the anime, Pokemon that evolve by trade sometimes evolve after being temporarily in a different person's possession, like Misty's Politoed and Brock's Steelix.<br /> <br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;{{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{poison color}}; background: #{{ghost color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot; | Trade <br /> |- align=&quot;center&quot;<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{poison color light}}&quot; | [[File:093.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Haunter|{{poison color dark}}}}<br /> | &amp;rarr; &lt;br&gt; Trade<br /> | style=&quot;{{roundy}} background: #{{poison color light}}&quot; | [[File:094.png]]&lt;br&gt;{{pcolor|Gengar|{{poison color dark}}}}<br /> |}{{-}}<br /> <br /> ===Holding a certain item===<br /> :''Main article: [[Evolution-inducing held item]]''<br /> :''See also: {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by trading with a held item}}''<br /> Some Pokémon evolve when traded only if they are holding a certain item.

<p>Christiantm2: /* Trivia */</p> <hr /> <div>{{EggGroups}}<br /> The '''Field Egg Group''' (Japanese: '''りくじょう''' ''Land''), known in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as the '''Ground Egg Group''', is one of the fifteen [[Egg Group]]s. As of [[Generation VI]], 200 Pokémon belong to this group, making it the largest Egg Group.<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> Pokémon in the Field Egg Group tend to be terrestrial creatures. Most are based on mammals, though there are several exceptions, such as {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, and {{p|Sandile}}, which are reptiles, and {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Torchic}}, which are birds.<br /> <br /> With the inclusion of {{p|Smeargle}}, a Pokémon {{m|Sketch|capable of learning}} almost every [[move]] in the game, this group has the most versatility in terms of bred movesets, unhindered by [[chain breeding]] or limited Egg Group partners which would render some combinations of moves illegal.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> ===Only in this Egg Group===<br /> {{egglist|E0C068|EBD69D}}<br

He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s first and main {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} rival.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> At the beginning, it was assumed that Paul was a Trainer just starting out. However, this was proven incorrect in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', in which he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Hoenn]], [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League}}s but didn't win anything before returning to [[Sinnoh]]. In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that Kanto was the very first region he traveled through.<br /> <br /> He first appeared in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Seperation]]'', although he only made a brief appearance at the ending of that episode; he was fully introduced in the next episode, ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', in which he challenged {{Ash}} to a 3-on-3 battle. After the battle resulted in a tie, Paul released one of the three {{p|Starly}} he caught, writing it off as weak, and walked off, and later appeared 3 episodes later in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]''; after exploring [[Bewilder Forest]] meeting Ash along the way, he then had a one-on-one battle with him and won. He caught his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} in the forest. During the episode, multiple times did he insult Ash and his {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}} by calling it pathetic, sparking their rivalry into motion. At this point did Ash begin to realize Paul's strategy of disregarding Pokémon and [[Release|releasing]] them would they not meet his expectations. He commented at the episode's end that he would not lose to Paul again.<br /> <br /> He then battled against the first [[Gym Leader]] [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|A Shape of Things to Come]]'' and creatively won, and although he stayed to watch Ash's first battle against him in the [[DP016|next episode]], he then walked off. His style of indiscriminately releasing weak Pokémon was shown again as after the {{p|Azumarill}} he was using failed to help him almost at all in the battle, he gave it away to some kid.<br /> <br /> He did not appear again until ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' in which he audaciously challenged the [[Sinnoh League]] champion [[Cynthia]] to a full 6-on-6 battle, but after his first four Pokémon were easily defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], he surrendered. He briefly appeared in ''[[DP046|A A-Maze-Ing Race]]''. He was then a participant in the [[Hearthome City]] Tag-Battle Tournament, in which he was ironically partnered with his rival Ash. After winning the quarter-final match, having been largely disappointed in his {{AP|Chimchar}}, released it (only to have it immediately claimed by Ash). He and Ash managed to win the tournament. He also revealed the story of how he captured Chimchar; he saw it, sometime in the past, use a highly impressive {{a|Blaze}} to counteract a horde of {{p|Zangoose}} that were violently attacking it. He captured Chimchar, but never while it was in his possession did he manage to reignite that Blaze. After winning the tournament, he, writing the tournament off as nothing more than an opportunity to boost his battling skills, gave his [[Soothe Bell]] prize to Ash.<br /> <br /> He also captured his {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]''. His next appearance was in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', in which he engaged in a best two out of three battle with Ash after engaging in an argument over Ash's true skills as a trainer. After using his Gliscor to easily defeat [[Ash's Gligar]], he then put his Ursaring against Chimchar. After having the lower hand for much of the battle, Chimchar activated its {{a|Blaze}} ability to easily defeat Ursaring. The battle was cancelled when Chimchar's Blaze couldn't be controlled since it was activated out of resentment and a determination to defeat Paul. Paul was impressed as the Blaze appeared much more powerful than the Blaze that drove him to initially capture Chimchar in the first place. He next appeared in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', in which he easily defeated Ash in a 1-on-1 battle with his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, who later helped [[Ash's Grotle]] handle the changes in it's evolution. He also participated in the [[PokéRinger]] challenge in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' with his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, and made it to the finals but lost to [[Ash's Staraptor]].<br /> <br /> In his next appearance, ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', much was revealed about Paul's motivation as a Pokémon Trainer and more about his character. When his older brother [[Reggie]] was a roaming Pokémon Trainer, he had lost to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. Reggie's loss to Brandon is what caused Paul to be so adamant about strength in battle. This single loss is also what caused Paul to become the callous person he was, and that was because of how his brother handled the loss. Instead of bearing the shame of his loss to Brandon, Reggie moved on with his life and put the loss behind him. Paul found this to be unacceptable, and he became disappointed of his brother. He challenged Brandon to a [[Full Battle]] in hopes that he would be able to do what his brother never could. However, Paul lost to Brandon without being able to [[fainting|knock out]] any of Brandon's Pokémon. Brandon said that this loss was because Paul was unable to control his emotions.<br /> <br /> Following Reggie's suggestion in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul battled {{Ash}} in a full battle in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. Here, he showed his true colors in battle and, despite Ash's {{p|Chimchar}} evolving into {{AP|Monferno}} and three of Ash's Pokémon using the [[Counter Shield]] strategy, Paul won the match easily with only at a loss of two Pokémon overall, {{TP|Paul|one of which|Ursaring}} defeated half of Ash's team nearly single-handedly. He had his Pokémon use a broad variety of strategies, which he kept up his sleeve until this battle, such as tempting Ash to send his {{AP|Staraptor}} up against his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} so he could attack it with {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} using {{m|Light Screen}} to aid its comrades, using his Ursaring against [[Ash's Pikachu]] so as to activate its {{a|Guts}} Ability, and his {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}} using {{m|Rock Tomb}} to protect itself against Water-type attacks. As a result, his strategy of completely overwhelming and outsmarting Ash with his more powerful Pokémon team succeeded with excellent results.<br /> [[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul and Ash]]<br /> In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was revealed that Paul had earned the {{Badge|Mine}} from [[Canalave Gym]] and, by doing so, had collected the eight Badges he required to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].<br /> <br /> Paul reappeared in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', encountering Ash for the first time since their full battle. He also met his admirer {{an|Barry}} for the first time; however, Paul wasn't impressed by him and refused his offer for a battle, suggesting he battle Ash instead since he was denying all challenges to go into serious training. He later watched the battle between Ash's Monferno and [[Barry's Empoleon]] and when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Empoleon were nearly crushed by one of {{TRT}}'s damaged mechas, he saved the three with the help of his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}. He then witnessed Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}, who then saved Electabuzz and the other Pokémon from getting crushed. Paul was impressed by Infernape, and gained a little respect for Ash at how well he had raised it. When asked by Ash if they could have another full battle, Paul confirmed they would in the [[Sinnoh League]], and that Reggie was looking forward to seeing it.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', he was shown in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', he passed the preliminary round. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', with his superior tactics and the superior power of his Pokémon, he defeated {{an|Barry}} in the third round. His next battle was against his rival Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', continuing into ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'' and ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. After a fierce battle, Paul was finally defeated, and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's respect. It also seemed Paul had decided to change somewhat, as when Electivire was defeated, he thanked it for a job well done, something that, up until that point, Paul never did, even if his Pokémon won. Afterwards, Paul stated that his next intention was to return to [[Snowpoint City]] and re-challenge Brandon. He briefly appeared in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', seeing Ash lose to Tobias.<br /> <br /> Privately commenting to Brock and Dawn on the battle between Ash and Paul, Cynthia predicted that they would both be entering the Champion League soon.<br /> <br /> Paul made a cameo appearance during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which he was seen visiting a ruin with statues of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and training==<br /> {{cleanup|section}}<br /> Paul's only concern in his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and {{pkmn|training|trains}} the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that [[friendship|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He also has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, especially Chimchar. He has also demonstrated similar behavior to {{p|Azumarill}}, {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} and {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}. His catchphrase when calling out Pokémon is &quot;&lt;Pokémon&gt;, Battle Standby!&quot; in Japanese version and &quot;&lt;Pokémon&gt;, standby for battle!&quot; in English version.<br /> <br /> As a person, he is very callous at times and even brutal, especially in {{pkmn|battle}} and as a result, he has been shown to display very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile when dealing with Ash.<br /> [[File:Reggie and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Reggie and Paul]]<br /> Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. Paul also disagrees with his brother for giving up on being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. He feels his brother's approach and view on this to be wrong. Reggie cares about his brother and ultimately loves him as brother but has no illusions about Paul's character. He openly admitted sadly that Paul has always had a cruel streak.<br /> <br /> Paul has been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism. In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', he and {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} were seen to be able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near Bewilder Forest by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. This could indicate that Paul physically trains himself and not just his Pokémon.<br /> <br /> Paul originally felt that Ash was a weak Trainer when they first met, as shown with the capture of {{AP|Starly}} when he questioned Ash about how strong Starly was. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provided much fuel to their rivalry. Despite that, Paul barely recognized their rivalry and Ash as a Trainer and ignored his speeches about loving his Pokémon. However, Paul's first hint of respect for Ash was in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' when he was very surprised to hear that Ash had beaten Brandon in a Pokémon battle.<br /> <br /> Although Paul found most of the Pokémon in Ash's party at the time to be weak, he had shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as shown in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act To Follow!]]''. Paul was also angered by how Ash &quot;contradicts&quot; himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then uses similar ones, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being clearly different than Paul's.<br /> <br /> Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even bother to remember her name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. However, he talks to her about Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. Paul confesses his main problem with Ash is his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength through his bond with them and how any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of Reggie. Paul shows mild respect as well as distaste towards {{an|Brock}}, probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]], [[Nurse Joy]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. However it should be noted that keeping with his views of strong Pokémon and strong Trainers that he only respects actual Trainers with strong Pokémon. While he respects Professor Rowan and Nurse Joy for their wisdom and positions, he only respects Cynthia and Brandon for their abilities as Trainers. He is shown to have no respect for Gym Leaders who he feels are weak. While he was shown to respect [[Roark]] who he judged to be in the end a worthy opponent, he was openly rude and mean to [[Maylene]].<br /> <br /> After a fierce battle in the Sinnoh League Tournament, Paul was finally defeated and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's respect and ending their rivalry.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> {{incomplete|section|2=Japanese voice actors for Paul's Ninjask and Gastrodon}}<br /> As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. Whilst the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, and Ninjask's was revealed in a flashback during ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', his team has for the most part been captured off-screen. Several other Pokémon in his possession were captured on screen but later released.<br /> <br /> ===On hand===<br /> This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode and the ones used for the [[DP186|last]] [[DP187|full]] [[DP188|battle]] against Ash:<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Electivire<br /> |stage1=Elekid<br /> |stage2=Electabuzz<br /> |type1=Electric<br /> |img=Paul Electivire.png<br /> |epnum=DP002<br /> |epname=Two Degrees of Separation! <br /> |vajp=Kenta Miyake<br /> |vaen=Bill Rogers<br /> |desc={{p|Electivire}} was the first of Paul's revealed Pokémon. Paul used it as an {{p|Elekid}} during his first appearance in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle in which it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Chimchar]]. It reappeared as an Electivire in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', having evolved off screen at a prior point. It was used by Paul to battle {{an|Barry}} and {{Ash}} in his league matches. It was the last Pokémon used against Ash in their full battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Ninjask<br /> |type1=Bug<br /> |type2=Flying<br /> |img=Paul Ninjask.png<br /> |epnum=DP051<br /> |epname=Glory Blaze!<br /> &lt;!--|vajp=--&gt;<br /> |vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach<br /> |desc=Paul's {{p|Ninjask}} was caught shortly before Paul met {{AP|Chimchar}}, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'', it was revealed that Paul still had Ninjask, and Paul chose it to battle against [[Ash's Gliscor]]. It fought hard against Gliscor but was eventually defeated after a hard battle with {{AP|Infernape}}. It was the fourth Pokémon used by Paul.<br /> <br /> Ninjask's known moves are {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and {{m|Giga Drain}}, and its Ability is {{a|Speed Boost}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Aggron<br /> |stage1=Lairon<br /> |type1=Steel<br /> |type2=Rock<br /> |img=Paul Lairon.png<br /> |cap=Paul's Lairon<br /> |img2=Paul Aggron.png<br /> |cap2=Paul's Aggron<br /> |epnum=DP128<br /> |epname=A Pyramiding Rage!<br /> |vajp=Kenta Miyake<br /> |vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach<br /> |desc=Paul's {{p|Aggron}} first appeared as a {{p|Lairon}} in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', in which it fought against [[Brandon's Regis#Regice|Brandon's Regice]]. Despite having a significant type advantage, it lost in a matter of seconds after only managing to use Iron Defense; Regice froze it solid with {{m|Ice Beam}} and then knocked it out with a single {{m|Zap Cannon}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' it was shown that Lairon had evolved into an Aggron and battled against Ash's Pikachu in the Lily of the Valley Conference. It managed to give Pikachu problems, but was eventually defeated by [[Ash's Infernape]]. It was the first Pokémon used by Paul in the Conference. It was one of the two Pokémon used by Paul to uncover Ash's strategy, the other being Gastrodon.<br /> <br /> Aggron's known moves are {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Metal Claw}}, {{m|Metal Sound}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{m|Double-Edge}}, and its Ability is {{a|Rock Head}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Gastrodon<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |type2=Ground<br /> |img=Paul Gastrodon.png<br /> |epnum=DP186<br /> |epname=Familiarity Breeds Strategy!<br /> |vaen=Tom Wayland<br /> |desc=Paul's {{p|Gastrodon}} battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]] and proved to be a tough opponent, even using Muddy Water as a [[Counter Shield]]. However, it was beaten by [[Ash's Buizel]] after Ash recalled Staraptor. It was the second Pokémon used by Paul and was one of the two Pokémon used by Paul to uncover Ash's strategy, the other being Aggron.<br /> <br /> Gastrodon's known moves are {{m|Muddy Water}}, {{m|Body Slam}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Drapion<br /> |type1=Poison<br /> |type2=Dark<br /> |img=Paul Drapion.png<br /> |epnum=DP186<br /> |epname=Familiarity Breeds Strategy!<br /> |vajp=Unshō Ishizuka<br /> |vaen=Unshō Ishizuka<br /> |desc={{p|Drapion}} was the third Pokémon used in the Lily of the Valley Conference match against Ash where it was sent out after Paul uncovered Ash's strategy. As a result, Drapion was able to defeat {{AP|Buizel}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Torterra}}. After defeating Torterra, Paul recalled Drapion, which was the only one that was recalled by him during the entire battle. Throughout the battle, Drapion's Toxic Spikes {{status|poison}}ed most of Ash's team, but eventually {{AP|Infernape}}'s {{m|Dig|Underground}} {{m|Flare Blitz}} technique managed to burn off the spikes. Later, Drapion went up against [[Ash's Gliscor]]. As Gliscor's speed and power was too much for Drapion to handle, it was knocked out after being {{status|burned}} from Gliscor's powerful {{m|Fire Fang}} attack.<br /> <br /> Drapion's known moves are {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Poison Fang}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Froslass<br /> |gender=female<br /> |type1=Ice<br /> |type2=Ghost<br /> |img=Paul Froslass.png<br /> |vajp=Satsuki Yukino<br /> |vaen=Bella Hudson<br /> |epnum=DP187<br /> |epname=A Real Rival Rouser!<br /> |desc={{p|Froslass}} was used by Paul in his second full battle against Ash in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], in which she went up against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Using Hail, Froslass was able to cause damage to Pikachu and restrict his {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The hail also gave her an opportunity to hide since it activated her [[Snow Cloak]] ability. Eventually, Pikachu was able to get the upper hand and defeated Froslass with {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}}. She was the fifth Pokémon used by Paul in the battle.<br /> <br /> Froslass's known moves are {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and her Ability is {{a|Snow Cloak}}.}}<br /> <br /> ===With Reggie===<br /> In [[Veilstone City]], [[Reggie]] told Ash that Paul's &quot;other Pokémon are here too&quot; which may include his reserves. In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Paul mentions that he wanted {{AP|Chimchar}} to become the most powerful out of all his {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

Weavile briefly appeared in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'' as {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}'s sparring partner. Weavile appeared again in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' where it went up against [[Ash's Staraptor]] in {{Ash}} and Paul's [[full battle]] and lost, despite the type-advantage. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'' it was at Reggie's house, where it, along with Paul's Torterra, Ursaring and Honchkrow, were unhappy to find out Paul had lost.<br /> <br /> Weavile's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}.}}<br /> <br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Magmortar<br /> |stage1=Magmar<br /> |type1=Fire<br /> |img=Paul Magmortar.png<br /> |epnum=DP066<br /> |epname=Lost Leader Strategy!<br /> |vajp=Yūji Ueda<br /> |vaen=Tom Wayland<br /> |desc=Paul chose {{p|Magmortar}} to replace his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} after he released it.

Gliscor made a brief appearance in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'' along with Paul's other Pokémon outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] while the [[Team Rocket trio]] took care of [[Paul's Torterra]].

This culminated in the tag battle tournament arc in which he was forced to battle alongside Ash.

Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion, and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend, {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s, help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly-mastered {{m|Aqua Jet}}, and was captured by Ash.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'', he was used in the [[Club Battle]] Tournament against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well, avoiding Stoutland's attacks and dealing out powerful blows. Eventually, Palpitoad was caught in Stoutland's mouth when it used {{m|Thunder Fang}}, though he avoided damage from the {{type|Electric}} move, being part {{type|Ground}}. However, Burgundy took the chance, and ordered an {{m|Ice Fang}} attack, which became a problem for Palpitoad until he used {{m|Supersonic}} to shatter the ice, and knock Stoutland back. After blocking Stoutland's {{m|Fire Fang}} with {{m|Mud Shot}}, Palpitoad won the match with a direct hit from {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Palpitoad battled [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} in the semifinals, and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being immune to {{type|Electric}} moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle, and was Ash's sole strategy for the battle. Palpitoad took many ineffective hits from Zebstrika's {{m|Flame Charge}} and a {{m|Double Kick}} attack, proving unable to dodge. As Zebstrika headed towards Palpitoad using {{m|Quick Attack}}, Ash commanded a Supersonic attack, which blocked and confused Zebstrika. Palpitoad then finished the match with a Mud Shot, followed by a Hydro Pump. Palpitoad showed signs of fatigue after Elesa recalled Zebstrika, so both Iris and Cilan suggested that Ash should recall him and switch to another Pokémon. Ash, however, decided to stick with Palpitoad when Elesa brought out Emolga. However, Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with {{p|Emolga}}'s fast moves, and was hit by an {{m|Acrobatics}} attack, and several {{m|Aerial Ace}} attacks before he was hit with Emolga's {{m|Attract}}, causing him to become immobilized by infatuation. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out, ruining Ash's strategy for the battle.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash used Palpitoad as his fifth Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Roxie]], and her final and strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Palpitoad first tried to use Mud Shot on the Trash Heap Pokémon, but Garbodor used its extendable arms to raise itself from the floor and dodge the attack. As Garbodor attacked with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Palpitoad used Hydro Pump to block it. Palpitoad then tried another Mud Shot, but it was blocked and countered by a {{m|Gunk Shot}} attack, which {{status|poison}}ed Palpitoad as it hit. Garbodor attacked Palpitoad two times with {{m|Venoshock}}, being twice as powerful because of the poison, and he was knocked out.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', Ash used Palpitoad in his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against [[Stephan]] and his Zebstrika. During the battle, Palpitoad was shown to have learned a new move, {{m|Sludge Wave}}, which caused Zebstrika to become poisoned when the attack hit. Despite of this, Zebstrika was able to fight back, even using the poison as an advantage while striking back with {{m|Facade}}, and eventually both Pokémon were knocked out, with Palpitoad managing to defeat his opponent with a Mud Shot just before fainting himself from the damage taken from Zebstrika's {{m|Giga Impact}}.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and characteristics==<br /> Palpitoad was once quite the rowdy Pokémon, and liked to be the boss over others, such as when he commanded a group of {{p|Tympole}} and a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} to attack Ash and his {{AP|Oshawott}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad is also very protective over what he claims as his own, such as territory, as shown in the same instance. In the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, Palpitoad has been shown to be quite the powerhouse. Since he shares a love for battling with Ash, Palpitoad seems satisfied to have Ash as his Trainer, and they were able to work well together, despite only recently being captured at the time and it being the first battle Palpitoad participated in with his Trainer. Palpitoad has also been shown to be physically tough, as he can endure attacks easily as shown in the Gym battle with [[Elesa]].<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|Water|Ground|Ash Palpitoad {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Hydro Pump|1=Mud Shot|2=Supersonic|3=Sludge Wave 1}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Hydro Pump|1=Mud Shot|2=Supersonic|3=Sludge Wave}}}}<br /> {{anmov|ground|Mud Shot|BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Hydro Pump|BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Supersonic|BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!}}<br /> {{anmov|poison|Sludge Wave|BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|Ground}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his [[BW032|debut appearance]], he was similar to the size of [[Ash's Oshawott]]. However, in his [[BW039|second appearance]], he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance.<br /> * Before Palpitoad, the last Pokémon which Ash had caught in its evolved state was his {{AP|Noctowl}}, which he caught over 530 episodes before him.<br /> ** Palpitoad is also the only evolved Pokémon Ash has obtained which, at this moment, still can evolve, if {{AP|Pikachu}} isn't counted.<br /> * Of all of Ash's Pokémon, Palpitoad has been absent from the greatest number of episodes in a row while still being in rotation at the time: 33 episodes, spanning from after ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'' to before ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]].''<br /> ** This is one episode fewer than [[Misty's Goldeen]], who holds the record for longest absence of any Pokémon belonging to a main character while on their team.<br /> * Palpitoad is Ash's only Pokémon that hasn't been seen interacting out of battle.<br /> * Palpitoad and {{AP|Leavanny}} are the only ones of Ash's Unova Pokémon that have not encountered {{TRT}}.<br /> * Palpitoad is the only dual-type {{type|Water}} Ash currently owns.<br /> * Palpitoad is Ash's only Water Type that has not known Water Gun.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{animespecies|Palpitoad}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon|water|ground}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Palpitoad]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Ashs Mebrana]]<br /> [[fr:Batracné de Sacha]]<br /> [[it:Palpitoad di Ash]]<br /> [[ja:サトシのガマガル]]<br /> [[pl:Palpitoad Asha]]</div>

When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu decided to stay by Ash's side.<br /> <br /> In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} (knocking it out of his Trainer's hand), and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. The same situation happened in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' where Pikachu reaffirmed his decision not to evolve. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power &quot;far exceeds its evolutionary level&quot;. Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash DP 2.png|thumb|120px|left|Ash and Pikachu, as seen in {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} artwork]]<br /> However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], and [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip]]'s Servine, despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Servine.<br /> <br /> Since Ash's first encounter with {{TRT}} in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present him to {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they have tried and continue to try hundreds of times, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, {{ashfr}}, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}).<br /> <br /> ====Advanced Generation series====<br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]<br /> Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].<br /> <br /> Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.<br /> <br /> Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning {{m|Iron Tail}} in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves. Also in the same episode, Pikachu learned {{m|Electro Ball}} while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.<br /> <br /> In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to punch from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].<br /> <br /> ====Diamond &amp; Pearl series====<br /> In Sinnoh, he defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Gyarados}} and defeated it with a Volt Tackle to the face. He also battled Crasher Wake's Floatzel for a moment, allowing {{AP|Buizel}} time to recover. In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png‎|250px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} Ability]]<br /> Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina, was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with Quick Attack, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.<br /> <br /> Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Flint's Infernape]], but he was defeated after a long fight.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} and won, giving him his first victory over a Pokémon in the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line. However, he was defeated by Volkner's {{p|Luxray}}.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu contest.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu performing in a Pokémon Contest]]<br /> In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he put up a good fight and weakened Aggron before he was recalled in place of Infernape. Pikachu was also used in the continuation of Ash's battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He went against Paul's {{p|Froslass}} where he was seen having some trouble at first, but by the end, he was able to pull through and defeat Froslass with a powerful Volt Tackle attack. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he battled [[Paul's Electivire]], but had trouble due to Electivire's {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability, and was soon defeated by a {{m|Brick Break}}. In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. Almost none of the attacks hit or did any damage to Latios in the beginning, however, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt several times before he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge. However, he was tied with Latios as both fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon also fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle.<br /> <br /> ====Best Wishes series====<br /> Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just like he did in [[Hoenn]]. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed during his battle against [[Trip]] and [[Trip's Serperior|his Snivy]], causing Ash to forfeit. In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his Gym battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit despite the type-advantage. In ''[[BW010|A Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. He took a beating from multiple {{m|Aerial Ace}}s, but showed Trip the power of his electrical attacks by defeating Tranquill with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into {{p|Servine}}. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Pignite with a powerful Volt Tackle.<br /> <br /> [[File:Ash and his Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and Pikachu]]<br /> In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of {{p|Ducklett}} stole Ash's {{AP|hat}} and {{p|Sandile}}'s sunglasses. Pikachu assisted Sandile in defeating them. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Even though Sandile evolved into {{AP|Krokorok}}, Pikachu used Electro Ball and sent {{m|Stone Edge}} right back at {{p|Krokorok}} to defeat him.<br /> <br /> Ash used Pikachu in his third Gym battle against Burgh at the [[Castelia Gym]] in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. Pikachu went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}} and after a tough battle, Pikachu was able to win it with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Electro Ball}} combo.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua and the Pokémon Knight!]]'' Pikachu played a movie role as Ash's assistant. He battled [[Iris's Axew]] in order to gain the power to defeat {{an|Cilan|the villain}} and his [[Cilan's Pansage|assistant]]. He succeeded with a Thunderbolt-Electro Ball combo. He later defeated the villain and rescued the princess.<br /> <br /> Ash used Pikachu in the final round in the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Pikachu did surprisingly well, but unfortunately, Pikachu fainted first, and Iris won the tournament.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu in his Gym Battle against [[Elesa]]. He went up against her powerful {{p|Emolga}}, who Pikachu defeated with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}. Later, Pikachu battled Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}, defeating him with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used his amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}—{{m|ThunderShock}} combination at the two legendary Pokémon. Later, in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Pikachu helped rescue the [[Forces of Nature]] from {{TRT}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}}, and Pikachu defeated him with an Electro Ball. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{p|Swanna}}, but was defeated with a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and a brutal {{m|Brave Bird}}.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]] and her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. It was a very hard fought battle, but to Ash's luck, all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu made with Garbodor, had caused Pikachu's Static Ability to activate and paralyze Garbodor. Despite still being able to withstand a Thunderbolt, the Trash Heap Pokémon was unable to take a hit from the following Electro Ball, and was knocked out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the [[Unova League]]. <br /> <br /> In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash battled {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but was defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]] Forces of Nature, as Thundurus aimed a {{m|Thunder}} attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip's {{p|Serperior}}, and Pikachu defeated him after a very hard fought battle with an Electro Ball-Iron Tail combo.<br /> <br /> In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against Cameron's {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked many attacks with his {{m|Razor Shell}}, but Pikachu eventually defeated him with an Iron Tail.Cameron then sent out his next Pokémon, Swanna, attempting to keep distance to Pikachu, but Pikachu ended it with an Electro Ball. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly-evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated Snivy, leaving Pikachu as Ash's last Pokémon. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere, and Aura Sphere overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in top 8.<br /> <br /> ===Personality and characteristics===<br /> [[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu in a bad mood]]<br /> Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.<br /> [[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]<br /> {{bulbanews|Personality &amp; Development: Ash's Pikachu}}<br /> <br /> During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an &quot;electric flu&quot; causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.<br /> <br /> As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bicycle|bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far, but did not happen to {{an|Iris}}, since she doesn't have a bike. Instead, Pikachu shocked Iris herself.<br /> <br /> Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another, and most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining relationship.<br /> <br /> ===Moves used===<br /> {{anmov/h|electric||Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Thunderbolt|1=Volt Tackle|2=Quick Attack|3=Iron Tail|4=Electro Ball}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Thunderbolt|1=Volt Tackle|2=Quick Attack|3=Iron Tail|4=Electro Ball}}|image2=Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=ThunderShock|1=Thunder|2=Leer|3=Double-Edge|4=Agility|5=Tackle}}.png|caption2=Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 6}}|0=ThunderShock|1=Thunder|2=Leer|3=Double-Edge|4=Agility|5=Tackle}}}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|ThunderShock|EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Thunderbolt|EP005|Showdown in Pewter City|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Agility|EP014|Electric Shock Showdown}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Quick Attack|EP014|Electric Shock Showdown|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Thunder|EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Double-Edge|EP079|Friend and Foe Alike}}&lt;!--During the Indigo Conference--&gt;<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP118|The Double Trouble Header|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Leer|EP150|Hour of the Houndour|x=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|steel|Iron Tail|AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Volt Tackle|AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Electro Ball|BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!|rec=yes}}<br /> {{anmov/f|electric|x=yes}}<br /> <br /> =====Moves improvised=====<br /> [[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Ash Pikachu Leer EP009|2=Ash Pikachu Rocket Punch|3=Thunder Armor}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=using &quot;Leer&quot;|2=using Rocket Punch|3=and Swellow using Thunder Armor}}]]<br /> *'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When [[Giselle]] called for {{p|Cubone}} to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to &quot;Leer right back&quot; by making funny faces. He later used Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''; however, this was the actual move, albeit, an [[Anime move errors|anime move error]] still. <br /> *An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as &quot;Shocking Tail&quot; by the MC, was used to defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.<br /> *'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while &quot;boxing&quot; {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.<br /> *'''[[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]]''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding [[Ash's Swellow]]. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.<br /> *'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom to avoid attacks in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the {{Badge|Coal}}.<br /> *'''Thunder-Volt Tackle''' is a move combination between Ash's Pikachu and Paul's Electabuzz. Pikachu starts by using Volt Tackle towards Paul's Electabuzz, who grabs him and uses Thunder on him to supercharge the Volt Tackle. This was used in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' to sever the cables with which Team Galactic's helicopters were carrying Veilstone City's meteorites.<br /> *'''Swift-Quick Attack''' was a combination of {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}'s twirling {{m|Swift}} and Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} that was used in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Aipom would use a twirling Swift that spins in the air and then Pikachu would jump in the Swift with Quick Attack and as he runs, the Swift stars would be surrounding the white light from the Quick Attack.<br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball}}]]<br /> *'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}}.<br /> *'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.<br /> *'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot that sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br /> *'''Thunderbolt-Electro Ball''' is a combination used to power up {{m|Electro Ball}}, first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in &quot;The Legend of the Pokémon Knight&quot;!]]''. Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball, then tells him to use Thunderbolt on it to significantly increase the size and power of Electro Ball.<br /> *'''Massive Electro Ball''' was a stronger variation of Electro Ball that Pikachu used in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. While blocking {{p|Thundurus}}'s {{m|Thunder}} attack to protect {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu absorbed some of its opponent's electricity. Later, when Ash told Pikachu use Electro Ball, it transferred Thundurus' excess energy into its attack, causing the Electro Ball to crackle with blue lightning and swell to incredibly massive proportions. This supercharged Electro Ball dealt great damage to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] after it was launched.<br /> *'''Electro Iron Tail''' was a move combination Pikachu used to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]] in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. First Pikachu forms an Electro Ball on his tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both the Electro Ball and Iron Tail into the opponent at the same time, dealing a notable amount of damage.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> {{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}<br /> {{bulbanews|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi}}<br /> {{bulbanews|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}<br /> In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release. Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.<br /> <br /> A Japanese event distributed an in-game representation of Ash's Pikachu via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and at participating Japanese {{wp|McDonald}}'s locations which was held from July 15 through August 10, 2010. This Pikachu was distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from January 30 to February 13, 2011, and Canadian Toys 'R' Us locations from February 9 to February 20, 2011. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, this Pikachu does not reject the Thunderstone, and can be evolved at any time.

Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.<br /> <br /> Like in the anime, Pikachu was {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from {{an|Professor Oak}} - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.<br /> <br /> Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}} and a {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu (Japanese '''ジャン＝リュック ピカチュウ''' ''Jean-Luc Pikachu'').<br /> <br /> Later on, when Ash is in a Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and does not battle, while in his Gym battle with [[Sabrina]], he is easily bested by her Abra.<br /> <br /> Pikachu likes Misty and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|electric||Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Swift|1=ThunderShock|2=Sparky Agility|3=Sparky Thunder|4=Quick Attack}} EToP.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Swift|1=ThunderShock|2=Agility|3=Thunder|4=Quick Attack}}}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|ThunderShock|ET01|Pikachu, I See You!}}<br /> {{anmov|psychic|Agility|ET04|Haunting My Dreams}}<br /> {{anmov|electric|Thunder|ET04|Haunting My Dreams}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Swift|ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Quick Attack|ET16|You Bet Your Wife}}<br /> {{anmov/f|electric}}<br /> <br /> ===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br /> [[File:Ash Pikachu MPJ.png|thumb|130px|Ash's Pikachu in Magical Pokémon Journey]]<br /> Ash's Pikachu, along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, makes a cameo appearance in the bonus chapters at the end of every volume of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] {{pkmn|manga}} series. In the bonus chapters, Ash and friends have mistakenly wandered into the Magical Pokémon Journey world and are trying to return back to the world of the {{pkmn|anime}}, encountering many unusual situations along the way, including encounters of aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which are different in anime canon.<br /> <br /> Ash's Pikachu shows a video to {{MPJ|Pikachu}} of him bouncing a [[Poké Ball]] on his head in [[One Hundred Fifty-One]].<br /> <br /> ===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond &amp; Pearl manga===<br /> Ash's Pikachu appears as a main character in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond &amp; Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}} manga, which is based on the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}} of the anime.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|electric||Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Quick Attack|1=Thunderbolt|2=Iron Tail}} PDP.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Quick Attack|1=Thunderbolt|2=Iron Tail}}}}<br /> {{anmov|Normal|Quick Attack|PDP03|Combine Power}}<br /> {{anmov|Electric|Thunderbolt|PDP04|Hurry Up!

He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.<br /> * Pikachu was the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.<br /> * Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.<br /> ** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a sacrificial win, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.<br /> * In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.<br /> ** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as &quot;he&quot; were used to refer to Pikachu.<br /> ** Pikachu's gender was also assumed male in the English translation of the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, in which Ash and other characters refer to Pikachu with male pronouns.<br /> ** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.<br /> * Pikachu is the only Pokémon of {{Ash}}'s to be used in every Gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].<br /> * In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a &quot;Biografía Toon&quot; (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.<br /> * ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.<br /> * Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others. This capability of Pikachu's was also featured during part of the credits of ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance]]''.<br /> * Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.<br /> * Pikachu has used moves introduced in every generation except for [[Generation IV]].<br /> <br /> ===Pikachu's language===<br /> Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as &quot;PikaSpeak,&quot; however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses &quot;Pikapi&quot; when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to &quot;Satoshi&quot;). Other speech includes:<br /> * Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)<br /> * Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)<br /> * Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)<br /> * Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)<br /> * PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)<br /> * Pikachu-Pika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)<br /> * PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) or '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad)<br /> * PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)<br /> * Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)<br /> ** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese).<br /> *When Pikachu uses Electro Ball, he says &quot;Pika-Pika-Chu-Pi&quot; when he throws it from his tail.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> * {{Animespecies|Pikachu}}<br /> * {{cat|Episodes focusing on Pikachu}}<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Ash's Pokémon|electric}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Misty's Pokémon|electric}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Dawn's Pokémon|electric}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Animecharacters}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Ash and Pikachu characters}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Electric Tale of Pikachu characters}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Ash's Pokémon|Pikachu]]<br /> [[Category:Ash and Pikachu characters|Pikachu]]<br /> [[Category:Anime starter Pokémon|Pikachu, Ash's]]<br /> [[Category:Pocket Monsters Diamond &amp; Pearl characters|Pikachu]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Ashs Pikachu]]<br /> [[es:Pikachu de Ash]]<br /> [[fr:Pikachu de Sacha]]<br /> [[it:Pikachu di Ash]]<br /> [[ja:サトシのピカチュウ]]<br /> [[pl:Pikachu Asha]]<br /> [[pt:Pikachu de Ash]]<br /> [[zh:小智的皮卡丘]]</div>

She is the second [[baby Pokémon]] Brock has {{pkmn2|caught}}, after {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and the second Egg he took care of after {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. She is the overall tenth Pokémon Brock has ever caught.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> [[File:Happiny Egg.png|thumb|200px|left|Happiny's Egg]]<br /> ===Sinnoh===<br /> Brock won Happiny's {{pkmn|Egg}} in a Pokémon cosplay contest in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'' by entering his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} dressed up as a {{p|Politoed}}. He was overjoyed to take care of the Egg, as he showed in [[DP034|the next episode]] when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', while traveling on [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]], the Egg began to glow. After taking it to a [[Pokémon Center]] and receiving assistance from [[Nurse Joy]], the Egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake Egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an Egg-like shape for her. {{TRT}} snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually Happiny was returned to Brock and received her &quot;Egg&quot;. Immediately after, she offered it back to Brock as a sign of friendship. He gave it back to her and then captured her in a [[Poké Ball]].<br /> <br /> Like most baby Pokémon, she became very attached to her {{pkmn|Trainer}} very quickly. She was upset when taken out of Brock's care, and refused to cooperate with Team Rocket completely. Unlike Bonsly, however, she did not cry and fuss; she actually fought back against {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} after Brock had been hurt: Happiny quickly knocked {{MTR}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} out of her way and flung [[Jessie's Seviper]] by the tail so she could get back to her Trainer, who she then launched several meters into the air.<br /> <br /> [[File:Brock Happiny.png|thumb|right|250px|As a Happiny]]<br /> Happiny has a cheerful personality, and is playful and energetic. Rather than walking, she is usually held in Brock's arms, much like {{an|Misty}} did with her Togepi. She also is sometimes seen sleeping or playing with {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Sometimes she was seen riding on {{AP|Pikachu}}'s back, as seen in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'' and ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. <br /> <br /> Happiny has extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. Examples of this appear in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', where she carried many heavy boulders, and in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'' and ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', where in both she lifted and threw a big boulder. She saved Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', and saved Brock and {{si|Autumn}} from falling off a bridge by hurling them high through the air to the other side of it in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. <br /> <br /> She was also seen walking in [[Canalave City]] whilst lifting {{AP|Ash's Grotle|Torterra}}—who was comically tired due to its new form—with one arm in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. She was also able to stop {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from rampaging in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' with help of her strength. Later, on ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', when {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} tossed Dawn up into the air, Happiny caught her just in time.<br /> <br /> [[File:Happiny strong.png|thumb|250px|left|Happiny's strength]]<br /> The only times where her strength was not enough were in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' (where she tried to pull off a tight manhole cover, but failed), and in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'' (where she tried lifting a massive boulder, but collapsed under the weight and was knocked out). Any other time, she successfully brought out her special and uncommon power.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' Happiny learned how to use {{m|Secret Power}} in order to save Autumn and Ilta from a group of Beedrill. She also used Secret Power later on in the episode to put Team Rocket to sleep so that Brock and Autumn could get away.<br /> <br /> Brock was going to use Happiny in her first battle against [[Marilyn]]'s {{p|Shellder}} in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', but right before the battle started, Team Rocket interrupted and tried to steal Marilyn's other Pokémon. Before they could, Happiny was able to send them flying with her powerful {{m|Pound}} attack.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'', a group of {{p|Tentacruel}} attacked the boat that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were taking back to [[Twinleaf Town]]. Their {{m|Poison Sting}} attack caused many of the [[Baby Pokémon]] to become poisoned. Despite all that Brock and the others were doing to help, they were not getting any better. After seeing this, Happiny evolved into {{p|Chansey}} in order to help the baby Pokémon. After she evolved into Chansey, she was able to heal {{p|Pichu}} and all of the baby Pokémon of the {{status|poison}} with her newly learned {{m|Softboiled}} move.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and characteristics==<br /> [[File:Brock and Happiny.png|thumb|150px|Brock and Happiny]]<br /> Happiny has shown to be a happy-go-lucky Pokémon and is very cheerful. Happiny is also cooperative towards her Trainer as seen when Brock was giving her a bath. Despite her size, Happiny has been known for lifting most heavy objects with the exception of two instances as the objects were either too heavy or could not be carried by any means necessary. She has retained the happy and cheerful personality after evolving.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|normal||Brock {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Happiny Secret Power|1=Happiny Pound|2=Chansey Softboiled}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 3}}|0=Secret Power&lt;br&gt;as a Happiny|1=Pound&lt;br&gt;as a Happiny|2=Softboiled}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Secret Power|DP062|Tanks for the Memories!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Pound|DP062|Tanks for the Memories!}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Softboiled|DP190|The Brockster Is In!}}<br /> {{anmov/f|normal}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[File:Brock Sudowoodo Happiny.png|thumb|200px|Happiny and Sudowoodo]]<br /> * Chansey was first revealed as a Happiny in a Japanese movie poster for ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.<br /> * For ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Brock's Happiny.<br /> * As a Happiny, she was the first among the main characters' Pokémon to have been given and kept a held item, in this case, an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}} made by Brock. <br /> * Although Chansey learned {{m|Secret Power}} as Happiny in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories]]'', she hasn't used the move since that episode.<br /> * Of Pokémon obtained during the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}, Happiny took the longest to evolve, at 152 episodes.<br /> ** Out of all Pokémon belonging to the main cast, Happiny also took the longest to evolve while her Trainer was continuously part of the main cast, with said Pokémon never leaving the Trainer's [[Party|possession]].<br /> * Chansey is Brock's only female Pokémon.<br /> *As a Happiny, she was the only one to appear in the anime. This trait is shared with {{TP|James|Carnivine}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}.<br /> * She is the only one of Brock's Pokémon that does not share a type with another Pokémon he currently owns.<br /> * Brock's Happiny egg is probably based on the Happiny egg that is obtainable in Hearthome City in the Diamond and Pearl games.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Animespeciesevo1|Happiny|Chansey}}<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=&quot;left&quot;&gt;<br /> {{Brock's Pokémon|normal}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> [[Category:Brock's Pokémon|Chansey]]<br /> [[Category:Anime Pokémon hatched from Eggs]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Rockos Chaneira]]<br /> [[fr:Leveinard de Pierre]]<br /> [[ja:タケシのラッキー]]<br /> [[pl:Chansey Brocka]]<br /> [[pt:Chansey de Brock]]</div>

It was first broadcast in Japan on July 29, 1997 and in the United States as a &quot;lost episode&quot; special on June 24, 2000. <br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally arrived in [[Porta Vista]], a beachside tourist town. Wasting no time, Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} change into swimsuits and jump into the ocean. {{an|Misty}} arrives a few minutes later, also in a swimsuit, and Ash and Brock stare at her. She asks why they're looking at her, and Ash cracks that ''It's unusual to see you looking like a girl!'' .This earns him a beach ball to the face by an angry Misty.<br /> <br /> {{TRT}}, still using their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]], spy on beachgoers from their vantage point underwater. They decide to steal the money of the wealthy tourists. Suddenly, [[Jessie]] notices a speeding boat heading in their direction. The boat is piloted by Brock, who thought Ash borrowed it because Pikachu was on the boat. The boat collides with the sub and eventually crashes into a dock. [[Moe]], the owner of the boat, comes out to survey the damage. Ash, Brock and Misty volunteer to work to help pay the cost of repairing the boat and the dock. Moe agrees to this.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Team Rocket's sub has washed up onto a private beach and they're greeted by a woman named [[Brutella]]. [[James]] asks if they can work for her restaurant to help pay for repairs to their sub, and she agrees. Later, it's revealed that both Moe and Brutella are restaurateurs and rivals. For a while, Brutella's restaurant has more customers and Team Rocket taunts Ash and his friends over this. Ash decides to have his Pokémon help out as well. {{AP|Squirtle}} and Pikachu are told to hand out fliers advertising Moe's; {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and {{AP|Charmander}} are to help keep the grill going in the kitchen, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} is assigned to help Misty do her waitress duties. This works well until {{MTR}} sabotages everything (sending fliers flying, spraying oil on the stove, and throwing banana peels on the floor to trip up Misty and Bulbasaur), causing the crowd to leave Moe's restaurant for Brutella's. Ash apologizes for messing everything up.<br /> <br /> Brutella arrives with Team Rocket a few minutes later and tells Moe that he needs to pay her the money he owes her. If he's unable to pay by the next day, she'll take his boat as payment. Moe is despondent, as he doesn't think he'll have the money by then. He explains that he'd planned to take a world cruise in his boat. Ash encourages him not to give up on his dream.<br /> <br /> Then, two familiar faces appear: {{an|Professor Oak}} and Ash's mother, [[Delia Ketchum]]. Ash is surprised to see both of them. Professor Oak explains that the Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest is set to start shortly, and he suggests handing out fliers to the audience. He also suggests that Misty enter and (hopefully) win some prize money to help out Moe. Ash sends out Pidgeotto, who blankets the beach and town with fliers. Soon, Moe's restaurant is full again, much to Brutella's dismay.<br /> <br /> As the contest begins, Moe sits with Delia and Professor Oak. He explains how Ash encouraged him not to give up on his dream. Delia says that she and the professor are in town with the [[Pallet Town]] Volunteer Patrol. The contest begins, with Brock as emcee. Misty is the first contestant, and she uses her Starmie and Ash's Squirtle to form a UFO. Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing are next, and they're costumed as an Omastar. They're kicked off the stage by [[Gary Oak]] and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]], who are apparently the next contestants. Gary grabs the microphone from Brock and insults Ash, who jumps out of his seat and heads for the stage.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Brutella tells Jessie and James that she knows they're Team Rocket members and that she's fixed their submarine. She blackmails them into stopping the contest and destroying Moe's restaurant so that the audience will come to her restaurant instead. Jessie tells Brutella that they can destroy things without even trying.<br /> <br /> Back onstage, Ash challenges the always-cocky Gary to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but Gary refuses, stating that he doesn't want to battle an amateur Trainer. Brock steps between the two rivals before Ash's anger gets the best of him. Just then, the Gyarados submarine explodes from the water, causing panic. People run away, thinking that it's a real {{p|Gyarados}} on a rampage. Ash grabs the microphone and tells the remaining frightened audience members that it's a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], not a Pokémon. Team Rocket then fires a heat-seeking missile from the sub. Under Gary's skeptical eye, Ash sends out Pidgeotto and Charmander. Charmander's {{m|Flamethrower}} attack hits the missile, which turns and changes course: straight for the submarine!

It was first broadcast in Japan on July 29, 1997 and in the United States as a &quot;lost episode&quot; special on June 24, 2000. <br /> <br /> {{spoilers}}<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally arrived in [[Porta Vista]], a beachside tourist town. Wasting no time, Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} change into swimsuits and jump into the ocean. {{an|Misty}} arrives a few minutes later, also in a swimsuit, and Ash and Brock stare at her. She asks why they're looking at her, and Ash cracks that ''It's unusual to see you looking like a girl!'' .This earns him a beach ball to the face by an angry Misty.<br /> <br /> {{TRT}}, still using their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]], spy on beachgoers from their vantage point underwater. They decide to steal the money of the wealthy tourists. Suddenly, [[Jessie]] notices a speeding boat heading in their direction. The boat is piloted by Brock, who thought Ash borrowed it because Pikachu was on the boat. The boat collides with the sub and eventually crashes into a dock. [[Moe]], the owner of the boat, comes out to survey the damage. Ash, Brock and Misty volunteer to work to help pay the cost of repairing the boat and the dock. Moe agrees to this.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Team Rocket's sub has washed up onto a private beach and they're greeted by a woman named [[Brutella]]. [[James]] asks if they can work for her restaurant to help pay for repairs to their sub, and she agrees. Later, it's revealed that both Moe and Brutella are restaurateurs and rivals. For a while, Brutella's restaurant has more customers and Team Rocket taunts Ash and his friends over this. Ash decides to have his Pokémon help out as well. {{AP|Squirtle}} and Pikachu are told to hand out fliers advertising Moe's; {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and {{AP|Charmander}} are to help keep the grill going in the kitchen, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} is assigned to help Misty do her waitress duties. This works well until {{MTR}} sabotages everything (sending fliers flying, spraying oil on the stove, and throwing banana peels on the floor to trip up Misty and Bulbasaur), causing the crowd to leave Moe's restaurant for Brutella's. Ash apologizes for messing everything up.<br /> <br /> Brutella arrives with Team Rocket a few minutes later and tells Moe that he needs to pay her the money he owes her. If he's unable to pay by the next day, she'll take his boat as payment. Moe is despondent, as he doesn't think he'll have the money by then. He explains that he'd planned to take a world cruise in his boat. Ash encourages him not to give up on his dream.<br /> <br /> Then, two familiar faces appear: {{an|Professor Oak}} and Ash's mother, [[Delia Ketchum]]. Ash is surprised to see both of them. Professor Oak explains that the Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest is set to start shortly, and he suggests handing out fliers to the audience. He also suggests that Misty enter and (hopefully) win some prize money to help out Moe. Ash sends out Pidgeotto, who blankets the beach and town with fliers. Soon, Moe's restaurant is full again, much to Brutella's dismay.<br /> <br /> As the contest begins, Moe sits with Delia and Professor Oak. He explains how Ash encouraged him not to give up on his dream. Delia says that she and the professor are in town with the [[Pallet Town]] Volunteer Patrol. The contest begins, with Brock as emcee. Misty is the first contestant, and she uses her Starmie and Ash's Squirtle to form a UFO. Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing are next, and they're costumed as an Omastar. They're kicked off the stage by [[Gary Oak]] and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]], who are apparently the next contestants. Gary grabs the microphone from Brock and insults Ash, who jumps out of his seat and heads for the stage.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Brutella tells Jessie and James that she knows they're Team Rocket members and that she's fixed their submarine. She blackmails them into stopping the contest and destroying Moe's restaurant so that the audience will come to her restaurant instead. Jessie tells Brutella that they can destroy things without even trying.<br /> <br /> Back onstage, Ash challenges the always-cocky Gary to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but Gary refuses, stating that he doesn't want to battle an amateur Trainer. Brock steps between the two rivals before Ash's anger gets the best of him. Just then, the Gyarados submarine explodes from the water, causing panic. People run away, thinking that it's a real {{p|Gyarados}} on a rampage. Ash grabs the microphone and tells the remaining frightened audience members that it's a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], not a Pokémon. Team Rocket then fires a heat-seeking missile from the sub. Under Gary's skeptical eye, Ash sends out Pidgeotto and Charmander. Charmander's {{m|Flamethrower}} attack hits the missile, which turns and changes course: straight for the submarine! Team Rocket pedal furiously to get away, but they crash into Brutella's restaurant, which is then destroyed by the missile.<br /> <br /> Ash and his friends say farewell to Moe, who is heading off on his long-awaited cruise. Ash also says goodbye to Professor Oak and his mother, who is holding a trophy inscribed with the words: &quot;First Place in Our Hearts: Ash Ketchum.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Major events==<br /> * {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} meet {{Gary}}{{tt|*|Japanese version}}<br /> * {{Ash}} wins the Beauty Contest {{tt|*|US version}}<br /> ** {{Delia}} takes possession of the Beauty Contest's trophy {{tt|*|confirmed in Japanese version}}&lt;!--Ash was still on his journey.

Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class.<br /> <br /> At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessiebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point but he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind.<br /> [[File:Trainer James.png|thumb|James as &quot;Trainer James&quot; when he was part of the bike bridge gang]]<br /> He then enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' school, where he met [[Jessie]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, as revealed in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where James was known for using training wheels, acquiring the nicknames &quot;Little Jim&quot; and &quot;Trainer James&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first appearance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]<br /> Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What is known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.<br /> <br /> In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by [[James's parents|his parents]], who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessiebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessiebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.<br /> <br /> [[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}} from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''|220px]]<br /> In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from {{an|Giovanni}} after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Now wearing black uniforms instead of their previous white ones, Jessie and James, along with Meowth, followed various missions given to them by Giovanni through other people. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow their other Pokémon to be sent to them, making them use only Pokémon native to Unova. Unknown to the trio, Giovanni was not certain they would be successful; however, he knew that their presence in the region would force [[Team Plasma]] to reveal themselves. In ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'', Jessie and James go back to their white uniforms. The trio seems to be more serious and are much less comedic than before, using thought-out methods of escape, such as jetpacks, and thus have not been sent blasting off in the ''Best Wishes'' series. They also appear much less often than in previous series.<br /> <br /> Along with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}, James reappeared in [[BW109]]. <br /> <br /> ===Character===<br /> [[File:James disguised as Juan.png|200px|thumb|right|James disguised as [[Juan]]]]<br /> James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]], among other things. It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child.<br /> <br /> James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and Jessie. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees. <br /> <br /> [[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]<br /> James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has &quot;drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier&quot;.<br /> <br /> At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named &quot;Hippopotas&quot; and not &quot;Hippopontas&quot; as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).<br /> <br /> Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three, and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however.<br /> <br /> James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.<br /> <br /> Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. However, in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, he, along with the rest of his team, has developed a more serious attitude in his work.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Cacnea}}, {{p|Carnivine}} and {{p|Amoonguss}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass-types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends, as shown in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' when he had to release his {{TP|James|Weezing}}.<br /> <br /> ====Pokémon currently owned====<br /> &lt;!--Do not put Mime Jr. and Carnivine into another section.--&gt;<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |{{ActivePoké|James|Mime Jr.|James Mime Jr.png|psychic}}<br /> |{{ActivePoké|James|Carnivine|James Carnivine.png|grass}}<br /> |{{ActivePoké|James|Yamask|James Yamask.png‎|Ghost}}<br /> |-<br /> |{{ActivePoké|James|Amoonguss|James Amoonguss.png|grass|poison}}<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====In training====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Cacnea|James Cacnea.png|grass}}<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====At home====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Growlithe|Growlie.png|fire|nick=Growlie|size=188px}}<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> =====With relatives=====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Chimecho|James Chimecho.png|psychic}}<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Traded away====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Victreebel|James Victreebel.png|grass|poison|fir=Weepinbell}}<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Released====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Weezing|James Weezing.png|poison|fir=Koffing}}<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Borrowed====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Jessie|Dustox|James Dustox.png|Bug|Poison}} ♀<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Jessie|Yanmega|James Yanmega.png|Bug|Flying}} ♀<br /> | <br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Escaped====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Gyarados|James Gyarados.png|water|flying|fir=Magikarp|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Victreebel|James Victreebel EP261.png|grass|poison|fir=Weepinbell|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Hoppip|James Hoppip.png|Grass|Flying|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Hoppip}}<br /> | <br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Temporary====<br /> {| align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Team Rocket|Porygon|Porygon Zero.png|Normal|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Porygon}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Pikachu|PLEEI Pikachu.png|Electric|link=Pokémon League entrance exam instructor#Pikachu}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Ivysaur|PLEEI Ivysaur.png|Grass|Poison|link=Pokémon League entrance exam instructor#Ivysaur}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Charizard|PLEEI Ivysaur and Charizard.png|Fire|Flying|link=Pokémon League entrance exam instructor#Charizard}}<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Team Rocket|Delibird|Team Rocket Delibird.png|Ice|Flying|link=Delibird (Team Rocket)|size=190px}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Venusaur|James Venusaur.png|Grass|Poison|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Venusaur}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Anthony|Pelipper|Anthony Pelipper.png|Water|Flying|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Pelipper}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Anthony|Bellsprout|Anthony Bellsprout.png|Grass|Poison|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Bellsprout}}<br /> |-<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Anthony|Magby|Anthony Magby.png|Fire|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Magby}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Anthony|Magnemite|Anthony Magnemite.png|Electric|Steel|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Magnemite}}<br /> | {{InactivePoké|Ash|Pikachu|Team Rocket Pikachu.png|Electric}} ♂<br /> | {{InactivePoké|James|Aggron|James Aggron.png|Steel|Rock|link=List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Aggron}}<br /> |<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ====Status unknown====<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |trainer=Team Rocket<br /> |pkmn=Pidgey<br /> |type1=Normal<br /> |type2=Flying<br /> |img=James Pidgey.png<br /> |epnum=EP133<br /> |epname=Tanks a Lot!<br /> |desc=Multiple {{p|Pidgey}} were seen in one of Team Rocket's mottos in the episode.

In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|James}}.<br /> <br /> It is rumored that James may also be on the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} set card {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Rocket's Secret Experiment|120}}, as there is a Rocket in the background, seen only from the back, who has his hairstyle.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:HereComesTeamRocketTeamRocket15.jpg|{{TCG|Team Rocket}} artwork<br /> File:EXTRR Here Comes Team Rocket.jpg|{{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} artwork<br /> File:RocketSecretExperimentGymChallenge120.jpg|Rocket's Secret Experiment<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|250px|James and Jessie]]<br /> * James is mostly a comedic parody of ''bishounen'' characters; the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub in particular tends to give him a melodramatic and even campy tone. <br /> * James at times uses the name Jameson.<br /> * James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.<br /> * He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. This was in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' during the brief moment after he released {{TP|James|Weezing}} and before he caught {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. The other characters were {{Ash}} briefly when he was traveling to [[Hoenn]], and [[Jessie]] at the beginning of Team Rocket's travels in [[Unova]].<br /> * James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].<br /> * James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].<br /> * A running gag in the anime involves James's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.<br /> * Victreebel would often try to swallow him when called from its PokéBall.<br /> * Cacnea will hug him around the neck or waist, driving the spikes on its arms into James.<br /> * Carnivine will nearly constantly get a death grip on James' head with its mouth.<br /> * In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.<br /> * In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of Mt. Battle references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.<br /> * He shares both his Japanese and Brazilian voice actors with Ryusuke Yamino, from {{wp|The Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Detective Loki}}.<br /> * Excluding Victreebel, James has never battled any of his Pokémon before catching them.<br /> * James has owned a Grass-type Pokémon from every other Generation but [[Generation II]], excluding the {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Hoppip}} he bought disguised as a {{p|Chimecho}} and possessed only for a short peroid of time, not even actually catching it inside of a [[Poké Ball]] before it flew away.<br /> <br /> ===Name origin===<br /> James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojirō, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning &quot;second son,&quot; while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means &quot;third son.&quot; Kojirō takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburō, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;float:left; background: #666; border: 3px solid #cc0000&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;<br /> ! style=&quot;{{roundytl|5px}}&quot; | Language<br /> !

It seems to be fairly powerful though, as it was able to carry Misty through a long Pokémon race using a combination of swimming and hovering. Despite being genderless, when called into battle it would utter a feminine 'Hoh' cry. Like its pre-evolution, Starmie's core would also flicker with a dull 'bing' sound when it was tired. Starmie was typically used in more of an instrumental capacity than its pre-evolved counterpart, akin to the in-game term [[HM slave]], being used to {{m|Surf|traverse water}} on many occasions.<br /> <br /> Starmie made its debut in Misty's Gym battle against Ash, in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. Misty had successfully beaten {{AP|Butterfree}} with {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and Starmie was called out against the higher level {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, suggesting that at this time Starmie was more powerful than Staryu. It dived underwater to dodge Pidgeotto's {{m|Whirlwind}}, and shot up into the air to land a {{m|Tackle}}. However, its second tackle was deflected by {{m|Wing Attack}}, and then it was blown into the Gym wall by a {{m|Gust}} attack, on the brink of losing before Team Rocket intervened. The battle was called off and Ash was given the Badge regardless.<br /> [[File:Giselle Graveler Misty Starmie.png|thumb|Starmie bested by Giselle's Graveler]]<br /> In ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', Misty was incensed by {{Ka|Joe}}'s insistence that he could easily defeat her Water Pokémon as he had done it countless times on the simulator, including once right in front of her. She promptly challenged him to a real battle, and sent out Starmie to fight his {{p|Weepinbell}}, most likely because Starmie had been so easily beaten in the simulation. Starmie used a single Water Gun and knocked out Weepinbell, leading to Joe's ridicule by [[Giselle]]. However, Misty then challenged Giselle, calling her out for not being a true friend. Giselle's {{p|Graveler}} proved to be a very powerful opponent, deflecting Water Gun by spinning and then smashing into Starmie, shattering the center gem and knocking it through the window and into the pool. It is one of the two instances a Starmie's core has been seen shattering, the other being owned by a young Trainer on the St. Anne. Starmie's regenerative abilities were also demonstrated, as by the next time it was seen, its central core was repaired.<br /> [[File:Misty and Starmie.png|thumb|left|Misty holding her Starmie, its gem shattered]]<br /> Starmie was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Oddish}} in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It successfully weakened Oddish with Water Gun and Tackle, but was knocked out in one Tackle from the {{AP|Bulbasaur}} that came to its defense. It later helped to rescue the trio from the sinking St. Anne in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', carrying {{an|Brock}} from the ship, and later towing the group's raft out of the range of James' raging {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool &amp; Tentacruel]]'', it rescued the sailors that had been attacked.<br /> <br /> It appeared to have an Ability similar to {{a|Water Absorb}}, even though Abilities did not exist when Misty was a main character. This was demonstrated when, in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', Starmie chased Team Rocket away with a Tackle, but was knocked out when [[Jessie]] smashed it with a hammer. However it seemed to regain its health when Misty jetted water on it. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', it helped Staryu and {{AP|Squirtle}} put out the fire at Celadon Gym with Water Gun.<br /> [[File:Misty Starmie Pikachu Squirtle Pokemon-athon.png|thumb|right|220px|Starmie bearing Misty across the water]]<br /> Starmie paired with Misty in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. It made the final four as it was able to {{m|Surf}} across the river, allowing it to reach the top four. However, like everyone else, it was sabotaged by Team Rocket and blinded by {{TP|James|Weezing}}, taking it out long enough to allow [[Dario]], the man who had encouraged Team Rocket, to make a break for the finish.<br /> <br /> Starmie was also one of Misty's Pokémon to be stolen by {{ka|Keith}} in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'', along with her Staryu, {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Horsea}}, and Psyduck (but Psyduck escaped later). It was later one of the Pokémon he offered to Jessie and James along with Staryu. However, the [[Poké Ball]]s supposedly containing them turned out to not exist, instead containing stones with ''Bii-da'' faces.<br /> <br /> Misty attempted to round off her team of four in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' with Starmie, but Psyduck popped out when it came to the actual battle. This happened quite commonly with Starmie and Psyduck.<br /> <br /> Near the end of the Kanto adventures, {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} was feeling sick due to lack of exercise, so Misty dropped it off at the [[Cerulean Gym]] so it could spend its time swimming in the aquariums there. Misty left Starmie there with it, because her sisters wanted to borrow it. Misty later reclaimed it when she became [[Gym Leader]] of Cerulean.<br /> <br /> It reappeared briefly in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' along with Horsea, being reunited with Misty. Both were quickly scared off, however, by {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. It appeared briefly again in ''[[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]]'' when Misty was feeding the Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and Characteristics==<br /> As Starmie wasn't given very much onscreen appearences, it has very little personality. When in battle, it has been shown to be quite obedient and loyal to Misty. Starmie has been known to sometimes droop and bend its points when in pain or disappointment.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|water|psychic|Misty Starmie {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Water Gun|1=Tackle}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Water Gun|1=Tackle}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|EP009|The School of Hard Knocks}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Starmie is the most regular Pokémon to appear on Misty's teams, making an appearance on all of them to date, as her signature Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]] and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]===<br /> {{Pokémon/1|game=Red|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=21|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Tackle|<br /> move1type=Normal|<br /> move2=Water Gun|<br /> move2type=Water|<br /> move3=Harden|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=BubbleBeam|<br /> move4type=Water}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game|Yellow}}===<br /> {{Pokémon/1|game=Yellow|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=21|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Tackle|<br /> move1type=Normal|<br /> move2=Water Gun|<br /> move2type=Water|<br /> move3=Harden|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=BubbleBeam|<br /> move4type=Water}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===<br /> {{Pokémon/2|game=Gold|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=47|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Surf|<br /> move1type=Water|<br /> move2=Confuse Ray|<br /> move2type=Ghost|<br /> move3=Recover|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=Ice Beam|<br /> move4type=Ice}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===<br /> {{Pokémon/3|game=FireRed|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=21|<br /> ability=Natural Cure|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Rapid Spin|<br /> move1type=Normal|<br /> move2=Swift|<br /> move2type=Normal|<br /> move3=Recover|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=Water Pulse|<br /> move4type=Water}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===<br /> ====First battle====<br /> {{Pokémon/4<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |game=HeartGold<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Natural Cure<br /> |level=54<br /> |held=Sitrus Berry<br /> |move1=Water Pulse|move1type=Water|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Confuse Ray|move2type=Ghost|move2cat=Status<br /> |move3=Ice Beam|move3type=Ice|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Recover|move4type=Normal|move4cat=Status}}<br /> <br /> ====Rematch====<br /> {{Pokémon/4<br /> |game=SoulSilver<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |level=60<br /> |held=Colbur Berry<br /> |type1=Water|type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Natural Cure<br /> |move1=Thunderbolt|move1type=Electric|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Ice Beam|move2type=Ice|move2cat=Special<br /> |move3=Psychic|move3type=Psychic|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Surf|move4type=Water|move4cat=Special}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]===<br /> ====[[Pokémon World Tournament]]====<br /> =====Kanto Leaders Tournament=====<br /> {{Pokémon/5<br /> |game=Black<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |level=50<br /> |type1=Water|type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Illuminate|ability2=Natural Cure<br /> |held=Petaya Berry<br /> |move1=Psychic|move1type=Psychic|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Hydro Pump|move2type=Water|move2cat=Special<br /> |move3=Ice Beam|move3type=Ice|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Thunderbolt|move4type=Electric|move4cat=Special}}<br /> <br /> =====Type Expert/World Leaders Tournament=====<br /> {{Pokémon/5<br /> |game=Black<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |level=50<br /> |type1=Water|type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Illuminate|ability2=Natural Cure<br /> |held=Choice Scarf<br /> |move1=Psychic|move1type=Psychic|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Grass Knot|move2type=Grass|move2cat=Special<br /> |move3=Ice Beam|move3type=Ice|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Thunderbolt|move4type=Electric|move4cat=Special}}<br /> <br /> =====Gathered!

It was also used to battle against {{TRT}} in [[ET08|the next chapter]].<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|water|psychic|}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> {{right clear}}<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[File:Misty Starmie Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Misty's Starmie in Pokémon Adventures]]<br /> Starmie appeared under the control of Misty in a [[Gym]] challenge against {{adv|Red}} in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'', the challenge didn't last long, however, as Starmie easily defeated [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] after a failed {{m|Vine Whip}} did little damage. However, she stated it wasn't strong enough in [[Mt. Moon]] to battle [[Koga]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}, in a way mirroring its anime counterpart in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. The battle between Bulbasaur and Starmie was merely a demonstration for Misty to show how ill-prepared Red was for facing the dangers that undoubtedly awaited them. She ended up giving him the Cascade Badge after a few days of training together.<br /> <br /> Misty sometimes uses this Starmie to float around, as shown in ''[[PS025|You Know... Articuno!]]'', after she traded her [[Gyara]]dos away to Red for him to surf with. It also has other powers, such as using the jewel on its center to inscribe mysterious, ancient characters for people to read with. This especially came in handy during the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] invasion, and later when {{p|Suicune}} wanted to join her to fight against the [[Masked Man]].<br /> <br /> Starmie was later seen defeating [[Whitney's Miltank]] in the Gym Leaders' exhibition match. It was last seen fighting against mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|water|psychic|Misty Starmie {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Water Gun|1=BubbleBeam|2=Flash|3=Rapid Spin|4=Hyper Beam}} Adventures.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Water Gun|1=BubbleBeam|2=Flash|3=Rapid Spin|4=Hyper Beam}}}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|PS008|Suddenly Starmie}}<br /> {{anmov|water|BubbleBeam|PS008|Suddenly Starmie}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Flash|PS079|Airing Out Aerodactyl}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Rapid Spin|PS156|Notorious Noctowl}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Hyper Beam|PS156|Notorious Noctowl}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Misty's Starmie in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {{cardlist/header|Related cards|Water|char=yes}}<br /> {{cardlist/entry|cardname={{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Starmie|56}}|type=Water|enset=Gym Heroes|enrarity=Uncommon|ennum=56/132|jpset=Hanada City Gym}}<br /> {{cardlist/footer|Water}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Starmie is the only {{type|Psychic}} (albeit as a secondary type) that has been owned by a main protagonist in the anime.

Starmie's regenerative abilities were also demonstrated, as by the next time it was seen, its central core was repaired.<br /> [[File:Misty and Starmie.png|thumb|left|Misty holding her Starmie, its gem shattered]]<br /> Starmie was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Oddish}} in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. It successfully weakened Oddish with Water Gun and Tackle, but was knocked out in one Tackle from the {{AP|Bulbasaur}} that came to its defense. It later helped to rescue the trio from the sinking St. Anne in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', carrying {{an|Brock}} from the ship, and later towing the group's raft out of the range of James' raging {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool &amp; Tentacruel]]'', it rescued the sailors that had been attacked.<br /> <br /> It appeared to have an Ability similar to {{a|Water Absorb}}, even though Abilities did not exist when Misty was a main character. This was demonstrated when, in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', Starmie chased Team Rocket away with a Tackle, but was knocked out when [[Jessie]] smashed it with a hammer. However it seemed to regain its health when Misty jetted water on it. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', it helped Staryu and {{AP|Squirtle}} put out the fire at Celadon Gym with Water Gun.<br /> [[File:Misty Starmie Pikachu Squirtle Pokemon-athon.png|thumb|right|220px|Starmie bearing Misty across the water]]<br /> Starmie paired with Misty in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. It made the final four as it was able to {{m|Surf}} across the river, allowing it to reach the top four. However, like everyone else, it was sabotaged by Team Rocket and blinded by {{TP|James|Weezing}}, taking it out long enough to allow [[Dario]], the man who had encouraged Team Rocket, to make a break for the finish.<br /> <br /> Starmie was also one of Misty's Pokémon to be stolen by {{ka|Keith}} in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'', along with her Staryu, {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Horsea}}, and Psyduck (but Psyduck escaped later). It was later one of the Pokémon he offered to Jessie and James along with Staryu. However, the [[Poké Ball]]s supposedly containing them turned out to not exist, instead containing stones with ''Bii-da'' faces.<br /> <br /> Misty attempted to round off her team of four in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' with Starmie, but Psyduck popped out when it came to the actual battle. This happened quite commonly with Starmie and Psyduck.<br /> <br /> Near the end of the Kanto adventures, {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} was feeling sick due to lack of exercise, so Misty dropped it off at the [[Cerulean Gym]] so it could spend its time swimming in the aquariums there. Misty left Starmie there with it, because her sisters wanted to borrow it. Misty later reclaimed it when she became [[Gym Leader]] of Cerulean.<br /> <br /> It reappeared briefly in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'' along with Horsea, being reunited with Misty. Both were quickly scared off, however, by {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. It appeared briefly again in ''[[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]]'' when Misty was feeding the Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ==Personality and Characteristics==<br /> As Starmie wasn't given very much onscreen appearences, it has very little personality. It when in battle, it has been shown to be quite obedient and loyal to Misty. Starmie has been known to sometimes droop and bend its points when in pain or disappointment.<br /> <br /> ==Moves used==<br /> {{anmov/h|water|psychic|Misty Starmie {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Water Gun|1=Tackle}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Water Gun|1=Tackle}}}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Tackle|EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|EP009|The School of Hard Knocks}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> Starmie is the most regular Pokémon to appear on Misty's teams, making an appearance on all of them to date, as her signature Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]] and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]===<br /> {{Pokémon/1|game=Red|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=21|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Tackle|<br /> move1type=Normal|<br /> move2=Water Gun|<br /> move2type=Water|<br /> move3=Harden|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=BubbleBeam|<br /> move4type=Water}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game|Yellow}}===<br /> {{Pokémon/1|game=Yellow|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=21|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Tackle|<br /> move1type=Normal|<br /> move2=Water Gun|<br /> move2type=Water|<br /> move3=Harden|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=BubbleBeam|<br /> move4type=Water}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===<br /> {{Pokémon/2|game=Gold|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=47|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Surf|<br /> move1type=Water|<br /> move2=Confuse Ray|<br /> move2type=Ghost|<br /> move3=Recover|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=Ice Beam|<br /> move4type=Ice}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===<br /> {{Pokémon/3|game=FireRed|<br /> ndex=121|<br /> pokemon=Starmie|<br /> level=21|<br /> ability=Natural Cure|<br /> type1=Water|<br /> type2=Psychic|<br /> move1=Rapid Spin|<br /> move1type=Normal|<br /> move2=Swift|<br /> move2type=Normal|<br /> move3=Recover|<br /> move3type=Normal|<br /> move4=Water Pulse|<br /> move4type=Water}}<br /> <br /> ==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===<br /> ====First battle====<br /> {{Pokémon/4<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |game=HeartGold<br /> |type1=Water<br /> |type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Natural Cure<br /> |level=54<br /> |held=Sitrus Berry<br /> |move1=Water Pulse|move1type=Water|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Confuse Ray|move2type=Ghost|move2cat=Status<br /> |move3=Ice Beam|move3type=Ice|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Recover|move4type=Normal|move4cat=Status}}<br /> <br /> ====Rematch====<br /> {{Pokémon/4<br /> |game=SoulSilver<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |level=60<br /> |held=Colbur Berry<br /> |type1=Water|type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Natural Cure<br /> |move1=Thunderbolt|move1type=Electric|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Ice Beam|move2type=Ice|move2cat=Special<br /> |move3=Psychic|move3type=Psychic|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Surf|move4type=Water|move4cat=Special}}<br /> <br /> ===[[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]===<br /> ====[[Pokémon World Tournament]]====<br /> =====Kanto Leaders Tournament=====<br /> {{Pokémon/5<br /> |game=Black<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |level=50<br /> |type1=Water|type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Illuminate|ability2=Natural Cure<br /> |held=Petaya Berry<br /> |move1=Psychic|move1type=Psychic|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Hydro Pump|move2type=Water|move2cat=Special<br /> |move3=Ice Beam|move3type=Ice|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Thunderbolt|move4type=Electric|move4cat=Special}}<br /> <br /> =====Type Expert/World Leaders Tournament=====<br /> {{Pokémon/5<br /> |game=Black<br /> |ndex=121<br /> |pokemon=Starmie<br /> |level=50<br /> |type1=Water|type2=Psychic<br /> |ability=Illuminate|ability2=Natural Cure<br /> |held=Choice Scarf<br /> |move1=Psychic|move1type=Psychic|move1cat=Special<br /> |move2=Grass Knot|move2type=Grass|move2cat=Special<br /> |move3=Ice Beam|move3type=Ice|move3cat=Special<br /> |move4=Thunderbolt|move4type=Electric|move4cat=Special}}<br /> <br /> =====Gathered!

It was also used to battle against {{TRT}} in [[ET08|the next chapter]].<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|water|psychic|}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> {{right clear}}<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[File:Misty Starmie Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Misty's Starmie in Pokémon Adventures]]<br /> Starmie appeared under the control of Misty in a [[Gym]] challenge against {{adv|Red}} in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'', the challenge didn't last long, however, as Starmie easily defeated [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] after a failed {{m|Vine Whip}} did little damage. However, she stated it wasn't strong enough in [[Mt. Moon]] to battle [[Koga]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}, in a way mirroring its anime counterpart in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. The battle between Bulbasaur and Starmie was merely a demonstration for Misty to show how ill-prepared Red was for facing the dangers that undoubtedly awaited them. She ended up giving him the Cascade Badge after a few days of training together.<br /> <br /> Misty sometimes uses this Starmie to float around, as shown in ''[[PS025|You Know... Articuno!]]'', after she traded her [[Gyara]]dos away to Red for him to surf with. It also has other powers, such as using the jewel on its center to inscribe mysterious, ancient characters for people to read with. This especially came in handy during the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] invasion, and later when {{p|Suicune}} wanted to join her to fight against the [[Masked Man]].<br /> <br /> Starmie was later seen defeating [[Whitney's Miltank]] in the Gym Leaders' exhibition match. It was last seen fighting against mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s.<br /> <br /> ====Moves used====<br /> {{anmov/h|water|psychic|Misty Starmie {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Water Gun|1=BubbleBeam|2=Flash|3=Rapid Spin|4=Hyper Beam}} Adventures.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 5}}|0=Water Gun|1=BubbleBeam|2=Flash|3=Rapid Spin|4=Hyper Beam}}}}<br /> {{anmov|water|Water Gun|PS008|Suddenly Starmie}}<br /> {{anmov|water|BubbleBeam|PS008|Suddenly Starmie}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Flash|PS079|Airing Out Aerodactyl}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Rapid Spin|PS156|Notorious Noctowl}}<br /> {{anmov|normal|Hyper Beam|PS156|Notorious Noctowl}}<br /> {{anmov/f|psychic}}<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Misty's Starmie in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].<br /> <br /> {{cardlist/header|Related cards|Water|char=yes}}<br /> {{cardlist/entry|cardname={{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Starmie|56}}|type=Water|enset=Gym Heroes|enrarity=Uncommon|ennum=56/132|jpset=Hanada City Gym}}<br /> {{cardlist/footer|Water}}<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *Starmie is the only {{type|Psychic}} (albeit as a secondary type) that has been owned by a main protagonist in the anime. Despite this, its psychic abilities were never shown. [[Misty's Psyduck|Another one of Misty's Pokémon]] actually showed more of its psychic attributes despite only being a pure {{type|Water}}.<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Animespecies|Starmie}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Misty's Pokémon|water|psychic}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Anime notice|no}}<br /> [[Category:Misty's Pokémon|Starmie]]<br /> <br /> [[pl:Starmie Misty]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Mistys Starmie]]<br /> [[fr:Staross d'Ondine]]<br /> [[it:Starmie di Misty]]<br /> [[ja:カスミのスターミー]]</div>
