'''Professor Tangrowth''' (Japanese: '''モジャンボはかせ''' ''Dr. Mojumbo'') is a supporting character of {{g|Pokopia}}. He is a {{p|Tangrowth}} and the last remaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Kanto]] before [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]] came along,<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/explore/ Explore | Pokémon Pokopia]</ref> and teaches Ditto the basics of life in town.<ref name=PokopiaTwitter>(November 13, 2025). [https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1989000303786512489 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] ([https://archive.ph/iKCKe archive])</ref> According to his [[Pokédex entry]], he is a Professor form Tangrowth.

Evoking the appearance of a [[Pokémon Professor]], Professor Tangrowth has a unique appearance compared to regular Tangrowth, with white vines covering the top half of his body. He wears and uses [[human]] tools,<ref name=PokopiaTwitter/> namely a broken pair of glasses, a stick, and a [[TM]] on top of his head that evokes a medical doctor's head mirror.

==History==
===Background===
Prior to the disappearance of [[human]]s, when Professor Tangrowth was still a young {{P|Tangela}}, he was found injured and weak by a [[Pokémon Professor]], who healed him with a [[Potion]], causing the Pokémon to take a liking to them and follow them home.<ref>Professor's diary #1</ref> Now living with the professor, he started playing with their grandchild and even other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who come to visit. During that time, he also became interested in [[human]] devices and activities, seeming intrigued by the professor working on a computer and looking enthralled by things such as [[Pokédex]]es and {{i|Poké Ball}}s.<ref>Professor's diary #2</ref> He would later demonstrate a strong understanding of the purpose and operation of most common human technology, ostensibly as a result of its observations.

While humanity is evacuated into space, all Pokémon, including Tangela, would be stored in a massive computer system as part of the "Pokémon Conservation Project". However, when the professor entrusted him to other project members to store him away, Tangela ran off, likely to try and get back home. The day of departure had arrived, but Tangela was nowhere to be found, leading to the professor leaving the Pokémon behind.<ref>Professor's diary #5</ref> After the humans' disappearance and his evolution into {{p|Tangrowth}}, he found and wore the professor's favorite glasses on his chest.<ref>''"When this Pokémon was still a Tangela, it lived with a human professor. It now wears that professor's favorite pair of glasses on its chest."'' - [[Pokédex entry]]</ref>

===[[Pokémon Pokopia]]===
As of the start of {{g|Pokopia}}, Professor Tangrowth lives in a cave in the [[Withered Wasteland]]. Upon meeting [[Ditto (Pokopia)|Ditto]], he encourages it to use its {{m|Transform|transformations}} to help other Pokémon and restore their habitats, and resolves to investigate the mystery of what happened to the humans with its help. He accompanies Ditto to each area it visits except [[Palette Town]], typically idling near the local [[Pokémon Center]].

===Personality and characteristics===
Professor Tangrowth has the Appraise [[Specialties|specialty]], which indicates that he can identify any [[lost relic]]s brought to him. Tangrowth possesses an intelligent, curious, and experimental mind, always looking for new clues to the past and new discoveries. This desire to learn is not purely academic, as it seemingly stems from wanting to know where his original Trainer went following humankind's disappearance, believing that he and Ditto can solve the mystery together. His knowledge of the human world and technology is impressive, but not encyclopedic, as he will regularly not know the function of lost relics brought to him, including [[Battle item|battle items]] which would normally be used by Pokémon. His unusual intelligence was noted by his Trainer back when they was raising him as a Tangela. Professor Tangrowth is also a friendly and jolly individual, always eager to find ways to help his fellow Pokémon, rebuild their habitats, and engage in the various parties they throw.

==Trivia==
* According to the Pokédex, Professor Tangrowth's ideal habitat type is humid, and his favorite items are those with "lots of nature", "complicated stuff", "letters and words", "strange stuff", "group activities", and "dry flavors".
* Professor Tangrowth is the only Pokémon in Pokopia that cannot appear on [[Cloud Islands]], as the Professor's treasure trove used to create its habitat cannot be replicated.
* Professor Tangrowth is seemingly the sole non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] to survive the end of the world, outside of those inside of Poké Balls and the Pokémon Conservation Project. How exactly he survived is left up to interpretation.

Ice Rock

2026-05-02T07:34:22Z

CuboneKing: /* In the core series games */

:''Not to be confused with [[Icy Rock]] or [[Ice Stone]].''
----
[[File:Ice Rock anime.png|thumb|220px|An Ice Rock in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
An '''Ice Rock''' (Japanese: '''こおりでおおわれたいわ''' ''Ice-covered rock'') is an ice-covered rock that enables {{p|Eevee}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Glaceon}}.

In the core series games, if an Eevee is [[Level|leveled up]] in an area containing an Ice Rock, it will evolve into Glaceon. Even if Eevee meets other [[Methods of Evolution|evolutionary conditions]] when leveled up, the Ice Rock will still cause it to evolve into Glaceon rather than {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, or {{p|Sylveon}}.

==In the core series games==
*In [[Sinnoh]], an Ice Rock is located a short way south from [[Snowpoint City]] on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}. It is located in an area where the blizzard is very rough, on the easternmost part of the route. It actually appears that the rock is located in the backyard of a house that is near a female {{tc|Skier}}. It is surrounded by tall grass.
*In [[Unova]], an Ice Rock is located in the basement of [[Twist Mountain]], just west of [[Icirrus City]]. It is located on the lowest floor, past an NPC who gives the player [[Fossil]]s of previous regions. Eevee must be leveled up in the room with the Ice Rock in order to evolve into Glaceon; it will not evolve into Glaceon by leveling up anywhere else in Twist Mountain.
*In [[Kalos]], an Ice Rock is located deep within [[Frost Cavern]]. {{m|Surf}} is required to access it.
*In [[Hoenn]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, an Ice Rock is located on the lowest floor of [[Shoal Cave]], accessible only when the tide is low.
*In [[Alola]], an Ice Rock is located inside the cave in [[Mount Lanakila]].
*In [[Hisui]], '''Ice Rock''' (Japanese: '''凍った石''' ''Frozen Rock'') is a distinct location within the [[Alabaster Icelands]], located in the [[Icepeak Cavern]] underneath [[Bonechill Wastes]]. It is not labeled on the map, and no Pokémon or items appear at this location.

There is no Ice Rock in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Galar]], or [[Paldea]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this means that Eevee cannot evolve into Glaceon at all—Glaceon can only be obtained by trading with {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

Starting in [[Generation VIII]], Eevee can also evolve into Glaceon using an [[Ice Stone]], even without an Ice Rock. The Ice Stone is the only way to evolve Eevee into Glaceon in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, Violet]], and {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], either the Ice Rock or an Ice Stone can be used, although the Ice Stone is not legitimately obtainable in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
Due to the Ice Rock's absence in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} through the use of the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}}, and the same method in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]].

===Pokémon Conquest===
In [[Pokémon Conquest]], {{p|Eevee}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Glaceon}} when it is deployed in [[Nixtorm]] while it has an {{stat|Attack}} stat of 91 or higher.

===Pokémon GO===
Because [[Pokémon GO]] uses real-world locations, being within range of a [[PokéStop]] outfitted with a [[Glacial Lure Module]] is required to induce [[Evolution]] in Eevee.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
An Ice Rock appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', where it was revealed that {{an|May}} had visited it in a cave near [[Snowpoint City]] in order to evolve her {{p|Eevee}}. Unlike the games, where an Eevee must be leveled up but can be anywhere in the area housing the Ice Rock, May's Eevee promptly evolved into a {{TP|May|Glaceon}} upon touching the Ice Rock, much like an [[Evolution stone]].

Moss Rock

2026-05-02T07:33:13Z

CuboneKing: /* In the core series games */

[[File:Moss Rock Adventures.png|thumb|210px|A Moss Rock in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
A '''Moss Rock''' (Japanese: '''コケでおおわれたいわ''' ''moss-covered rock'') is a moss-covered rock that enables {{p|Eevee}} to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Leafeon}}.

In the core series games, if an Eevee is [[Level|leveled up]] in an area containing a Moss Rock, it will evolve into Leafeon. Even if Eevee meets other [[Methods of Evolution|evolutionary conditions]] when leveled up, the Moss Rock will still cause it to evolve into Leafeon rather than {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, or {{p|Sylveon}}.

==In the core series games==
*In [[Sinnoh]], a Moss Rock is located in the southwestern section of [[Eterna Forest]], to the west of a formation of trees that resembles a sideways L. Eevee cannot evolve into Leafeon if the player is in the [[Old Chateau]] or the [[Eterna Forest#Additional path|path]] that encompasses the outskirts of Eterna Forest.
*In [[Unova]], a Moss Rock is located in the southwestern section of [[Pinwheel Forest]].
*In [[Kalos]], a Moss Rock is located on {{rt|20|Kalos}}.
*In [[Hoenn]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, a Moss Rock is located in the northeast of [[Petalburg Woods]], behind a tree that can be {{m|cut}}.
*In [[Alola]], a Moss Rock is located in the northern section of [[Lush Jungle]], directly north and slightly east of where the player enters.
*In [[Hisui]], '''Moss Rock''' (Japanese: '''苔むした岩''' ''Moss-covered Rock'') is a distinct location within the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] in the forest west of [[The Heartwood]]. It is not labeled on the map, and no Pokémon or items appear at this location.

There is no Moss Rock in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Galar]], or [[Paldea]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this means that Eevee cannot evolve into Leafeon at all—Leafeon can only be obtained by trading with {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

Starting in [[Generation VIII]], Eevee can also evolve into Leafeon using a [[Leaf Stone]], even without a Moss Rock. The Leaf Stone is the only way to evolve Eevee into Leafeon in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, Violet]], and {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl]], and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, either the Moss Rock or a Leaf Stone can be used.

Due to the Moss Rock's absence in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} through the use of the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}.

===Pokémon Conquest===
In [[Pokémon Conquest]], {{p|Eevee}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Leafeon}} when it is deployed in [[Greenleaf]] while it has a {{stat|Defense}} stat of 94 or higher.

===Pokémon GO===
Because [[Pokémon GO]] uses real-world locations, being within range of a [[PokéStop]] outfitted with a [[Mossy Lure Module]] is required to induce Evolution in Eevee.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
A Moss Rock appeared in ''[[PS346|Ring Around the Roserade I]]''. {{adv|Diamond}} found one as he, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} traveled through [[Eterna Forest]]. Liking how cool the stone felt, Diamond, {{adv|Lax}}, and [[Tru]] decided to take a nap on the Moss Rock, only for Pearl and [[Chatler]] to tell them to keep moving.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Platinum}}, the Moss Rock is missing when [[Eterna Forest]] appears in an [[game intro|intro]] cutscene.
* [[The Teal Mask]] has a similar landmark in [[Kitakami Hall]] called the [[Six Wonders of Kitakami#Fallen Horn|Mossened Boulder]], but it doesn't affect Eevee.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Cubone evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}} when leveled up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at level 28.

==Biology==
Cubone is a small, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a light brown hide that covers most of its body, except for its cream-colored belly. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. It has two small spikes on its back and a short tail. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. Because of this, much of its actual face has never been seen, except for its triangular, black (sometimes green or blue) eyes and a small area surrounding them, and in its [[Bandai Namco]] card a bit of its mouth, where it has a pair of a few sharp teeth and a long pink tongue. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head and a tooth-like point on the lower sides. Under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout. This small Pokémon survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding the bone it carries as a weapon.

It is called the {{pkmn|category|Lonely Pokémon}} because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, due to the trauma caused by the death of its {{p|Marowak}} mother. Cubone is said to have lost its mother shortly after being born. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits "a plaintive and mournful sound." On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize a likeness of its mother in the full moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness. Its cries attract {{p|Mandibuzz}}, its natural predator, who uses this Pokémon's bones to decorate itself and its nest. It is said a Cubone will evolve into a {{p|Marowak}} once it comes to terms with the pain of its mother's death. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cubone is known to cry while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is theorized that Cubone's dreams are about its deceased mother. The dreams Cubone have make it cry, but crying makes it stronger. Cubone lives in rocky areas, usually on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} or in caves. It also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. One such Cubone's mother is shown as a ghost there.

Cubone and its evolved form, {{p|Marowak}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Cubone and Marowak are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

===Evolution===
Cubone evolves into {{p|Marowak}}.

In [[Alola]], it evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak.

==Trivia==

[[File:Bandai Cubone card.jpg|thumb|200px|Cubone's face partially revealed]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon", a corruption of the word "orphan", based on its abandonment at birth.
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.
* Cubone is the only Pokémon that can [[Evolution|evolve]] into a dual-[[type]] Pokémon that doesn't share any types with its Evolution.
* A [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Japanese trading card]], which features Cubone using the move {{m|Growl}}, partially reveals Cubone's face.
* While {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak shares the {{a|Rock Head}} [[Ability]] with Cubone, Cubone is unable to retain this Ability after evolving in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. This is because Cubone's Rock Head is its first Ability, while Alolan Marowak's Rock Head is its Hidden Ability. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyrogue}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}'s Ability {{a|Steadfast}}.
* In the [[PO02|second episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]], a mother Marowak is shown protecting her child Cubone from [[Team Rocket]]. Even though the Marowak is alive, the Cubone is still wearing a skull.
* Despite the Pokédex saying that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother, Cubone are born wearing the skull when hatched from [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]].
* In ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook|The Official Pokémon Handbook: Deluxe Edition]]'', there is no mention of Cubone wearing the skull of its mother. Instead, this is said in Cubone's Pokédex entry from this book: ''"Cubone uses the bones of ancient Pokémon to make armor and crude weapons."''

===Origin===
Cubone was created out of the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die.<ref>Satoshi Tajiri: "There's also Cubone, who was born from the thought of how sad it would be for a Pokémon to die. The bone Cubone holds is actually the bone of its dead mother. Cubone treasures it." [http://lavacutcontent.com/satoshi-tajiri-1997-interview/ Translation: Satoshi Tajiri Cuts Loose (1997 Interview)]</ref> In its design, it is reptilian in nature and seems to be loosely based on bipedal {{wp|dinosaur}}s. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons. The use of its bone {{m|Bonemerang|as a boomerang and as a weapon at the same time}} seems to be a reference to the {{wp|boomerang}}'s original use for hunting in {{wp|Indigenous Australians|Indigenous Australian}} cultures.

====Name origin====
Cubone is a combination of ''cub'' and ''bone''.<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref>

Karakara may be derived from カラカラ ''karakara'' (onomatopoeia for light clattering), contrasting with the ガラガラ ''garagara'' (onomatopoeia for heavy clattering) in {{p|Marowak}}'s Japanese name.

'''Marowak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガラガラ''' ''Garagara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cubone}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Marowak has a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Cubone when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 28. All Cubone in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Marowak is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light brown skin and a cream-colored underside. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot makes up its toes. It has a short tail with a small spike near the tip. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. It can no longer remove the skull, which has become part of its body. The skull has two pointed horns on the back and tiny nostrils on the tip of the snout. Marowak's triangular, brown eyes are also located in the skull.

Marowak is well known for its ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden, unknown graveyard. Despite its small size, Marowak's body is as {{a|Battle Armor|sturdy as armor}}. Upon [[Evolution]], Marowak has overcome the grief of its mother's passing. Now ferocious and violent, Marowak is an adept combatant that uses the bone it carries as a weapon and a boomerang. Having evolved, it seeks vengeance on its natural enemy {{p|Mandibuzz}}, which prey on Cubone because of its naturally weak and timid demeanor. Marowak has also been recorded pounding on boulders with the bone club it carries to tap out messages to others. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} to test its skills. Rumor has it that somewhere in the world, there is a graveyard only for Marowak. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Marowak is known to sleep while using its bone similar to a pillow, possibly being at peace.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On occasion, it is seen affectionately holding onto the bone while sleeping.

Marowak and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Cubone}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Marowak and Cubone are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Marowak SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak for {{g|Sun & Moon}}]]
Marowak has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Marowak was faced with an abundance of its natural enemies, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. This harsh environment led it to bond closely with its friends, which is said to have created a sort of sixth sense and caused it to take a new form. Alolan Marowak's body is black and it has pale gray eyes. There is a dark, flamelike mark on its skull between the eyes. Compared to regular Marowak's squatter, thicker body, Alolan Marowak is relatively thin. White markings resembling shoulder blades, vertebrae, and hip bones are visible on its back. The bone Alolan Marowak uses is longer than the one regular Marowak uses. It customarily mourns its companions by burying them and dancing in mourning.

Alolan Marowak rubs the bone it wields against its forehead to light the ends in a green flame and then twirls the flaming bone. The flame is made from spirit of its deceased mother. The deceased mother has transformed into vengeful spirit that will protect Alolan Marowak. It specializes in an attack where it releases a weak ball of flame from its bone that will relentlessly pursue its foe. Alolans would fear it for a conjurer, due to its rarity and the fearful sight of it dancing with its bone.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202801mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-marowak/Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Marowak](Archived)</ref> The dance is also used as a way of mourning for its lost allies. Once its flames have spread onto an opponent, they are impossible to put out with water. The cursed flames are known to cause both mental and physical pain.

A special Alolan Marowak in [[Alola]] acts as the [[Totem Pokémon]] for [[Kiawe]]'s {{DL|Island challenge|trial}} in [[Wela Volcano Park]]. This Marowak possesses [[Z-Power]], an energy that originates from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Marowak and completing the trial is a [[Firium Z]].

Alolan Marowak is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Bone}}.

===Evolution===
Marowak evolves from {{p|Cubone}}.

In [[Alola]], Marowak has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Cubone.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Marowak was originally known as "Guardia". This is the Spanish word for ''guardian''.
* According to some of Marowak's [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} Pokédex entries, somewhere exists a legendary Marowak graveyard. This is a reference to the {{wp|elephants' graveyard}} of modern myth.
* {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak is the only dual-type Pokémon that shares no types with its pre-Evolution.
* Alolan Marowak is the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Though Alolan Marowak shares the [[Ability]] {{a|Rock Head}} with Cubone, a Cubone with Rock Head cannot evolve into an Alolan Marowak with the same Ability, as Rock Head is Cubone's first Ability and Alolan Marowak's Hidden Ability.
* In the [[PO02|second episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]], a mother Marowak is shown protecting her child Cubone from [[Team Rocket]]. Even though the Marowak is alive, the Cubone is still wearing a skull.

===Origin===
Marowak is reptilian in nature and may be loosely based on bipedal {{wp|dinosaur}}s. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons. The use of its bone {{m|Bonemerang|as a boomerang and as a weapon at the same time}} seems to be a reference to the {{wp|boomerang}}'s original use for hunting in {{wp|Indigenous Australians}} cultures.

Alolan Marowak's design may draw inspiration from a {{wp|fire performance|fire dancer}} holding a {{wp|fire staff}} or a {{wp|fire knife}}, a Samoan traditional dance implement. It may have also drawn inspiration from the Polynesian concept of {{wp|mana}}, a spiritual essence that exists in all objects and people. It also allows people to imbue their "spirit" into other people and objects for protection or vengeance. In addition, Alolan Marowak may have been inspired by {{wp|Nightmarchers}}, ghosts from {{wp|Hawaiian religion|Hawaiian mythology}} that march at night, are feared by the living, and traditionally are known for carrying torches as they march.

====Name origin====
Marowak may be a combination of ''{{wp|bone marrow}}'' and ''whack''.

Garagara may be derived from ガラガラ ''garagara'' (onomatopoeia for heavy clattering), contrasting with the カラカラ ''karakara'' (onomatopoeia for light clattering) in {{p|Cubone}}'s Japanese name.

'''Zeraora''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼラオラ''' ''Zeraora'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]], in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Zeraora''' using the [[Zeraorite]]. Mega Zeraora was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Zeraora was officially revealed on April 9, 2018, on [[Oha Suta]]. It is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hyperspace Pokédex number|Hyperspace Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|200px|thumb|left|Zeraora's claws glowing when attacking]]
Zeraora is a bipedal, feline {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with primarily yellow and black fur. The fur is thinner and black on its lower legs, lower body, upper arms, and face, and is thicker and yellow everywhere else. There is also a zigzagging black stripe on each thigh and two more stripes on each forearm. There are small tufts of light blue fur on its chest and a longer tuft on its forehead. Zeraora also has a single, lightning bolt-shaped blue whisker on each cheek. A long, ponytail-like or tail-like bunch of fur extends from between its shoulders. Zeraora has large ears with black insides and blue eyes. Its forepaws have four clawed fingers and light blue pads, while its hindpaws have only three clawed toes.

In [[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us: Zeraora's Story]], it is explained that Zeraora was supposedly born from an explosion caused by a bolt of lightning striking an erupting volcano. It lacks an electricity-generating organ, so it gathers and stores electricity from outside sources. Through the strong electric currents emitted from its paw pads, Zeraora can create a very powerful magnetic field that it can use to levitate and move at high speeds. Its fur is known to stand on end whenever it is using massive amounts of electricity.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon | Zeraora] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180813214028/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-19.html archived])</ref> Zeraora can tear its opponents apart limb from limb by electrifying its claws. Even if the opponent dodges, they can still get electrocuted by the flying sparks. Zeraora can travel as fast as a lightning strike, with lightning flashing and thunder echoing when it runs. According to the [[Pokécology]] book, it is the fastest known Pokémon, with a top speed of 720,000 miles per hour (1,158,727.68 kilometers per hour, or Mach 938.3930029155). Zeraora has occasionally shown in towns, either seeking out battles or serving as a bodyguard for humans.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Zeraora has occasionally turned up in towns, looking as if it's hungry for battle. I've heard it sometimes even acts like a body guard for people."'' ([[Mega Dimension]])</ref> It is said to be one of the mightiest {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to have existed.<ref>[[Korrina]]: ''"That's one of the mightiest Electric-type Pokémon there is..."'' ([[Mega Dimension]])</ref>

Zeraora is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Plasma Fists}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Zeraora Charging With Power.png|200px|thumb|left|Mega Zeraora's two tufts of fur rising while it attacks]]
Zeraora can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zeraora.

As Mega Zeraora, its fur becomes predominantly black, while the stripes on its thighs, the ends of the furs that extend from its nape, and the outlines on its facial fur remain yellow. Its face, neck, torso, upper arms, and the insides of its ears become gray. The fur that extends from its nape splits into two. Its lower legs become light blue, matching the larger tufts of fur on its chest. A blue spike extends from the back of each of its hands, and the tuft on its forehead sharpens into a horn. All of these light blue portions are where its electric energy is concentrated the most.

It is said that Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning. When it stops holding back, Mega Zeraora is said to become the strongest Electric-type Pokémon.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/251119_01/ メガゼラオラ｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Mega Zeraora | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref> It unleashes its full power and releases its energy at its own leisure, so its {{pkmn|Trainer}} needs to either trust its decision or be so in sync with Mega Zeraora that they can match its timing. Its stored energy is potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_zeraora A Shocking Reveal | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

====Other====
Zeraora made its animated series debut in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]''. {{al|Dia}}, a former member of the [[Ultra Rangers]], befriended it at some point prior to the episode's events. He used it to save {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}}. Afterwards, it battled Pikachu and won. It also appeared in [[SM101|the next episode]].

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Zeraora is the only {{type|Electric}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Zap Plate]].
* On April 26, 2018, [[The Pokémon Company]] released a special [[Battle Video]] for {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} {{DL|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Version history|version 1.2}} that allowed Zeraora to be legitimately used and battled against in-game prior to its official release, using the code <code>QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL</code>.
* [[Marshadow (Pokémon)|Marshadow]], Zeraora, and [[Zarude (Pokémon)|Zarude]] were each revealed in the [[I Choose You! trilogy|“I Choose You!” movie trilogy]], portrayed alongside Johto Pokémon [[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|Ho-Oh]], [[Lugia (Pokémon)|Lugia]], and [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]] respectively. Each member of the trio has a “Z” theme (Marshadow with its Zenith form & exclusive [[Z-Move]], and the names for the other two).
* In [[The Isle of Armor]] DLC for {{g|Sword and Shield}}, in order to obtain a {{Shiny}} Zeraora, a [[Dynamax]] Zeraora was required for one million players to battle, making it the only Mythical Pokémon that could be encountered in a [[Max Raid Battle]].
* Mega Zeraora has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all Electric-type Pokémon.
** Mega Zeraora also has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of all Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

===Origin===
Zeraora's feline appearance may take inspiration from {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|tiger}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may allude to {{wp|Kanehekili}}, the Hawaiian god of thunder. Its design may also reference the {{wp|oni}}, a supernatural creature often associated with tiger pelts and lightning; or even the ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a creature that is the embodiment of lightning in an animal form, which is sometimes represented as a cat. Based on its swift movement and slicing up of its opponents, it may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|kamaitachi}}. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on {{wp|white tiger}}s.

Because of its black and gray fur and massive amount of electrical energy, Mega Zeraora may be based on {{wp|thunderstorm}}s. The tail-like strip of fur on Zeraora's back splitting into two on Mega Zeraora may be a reference to the {{wp|nekomata}}, a cat {{wp|yōkai}} that has gained powers such that its tail is split into two.

====Name origin====
Zeraora's name may be derived from ''{{wp|Zeus}}'' (Greek god of thunder), زر ''zarra'' (Arabic for "to beam/glitter/shine", "to encroach upon one's enemy"), and 虎 ''tora'' (Japanese for tiger) or ''tora'' (Faroese for thunder).

'''Magearna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マギアナ''' ''Magearna'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Magearna has a second [[#Form data|form]] named '''Original Color''', which first appeared in {{game4|SMUSUM}} but was not made legitimately available until the release of {{g|HOME}} in [[Generation VIII]].

Magearna and Original Color Magearna can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Magearna''' using the [[Magearnite]], with a variant for both forms. Mega Magearna was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Magearna was leaked in the March issue of [[CoroCoro]] released on February 10, 2016, and it was officially revealed on February 14, 2016, making it the first [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public.

==Biology==
[[File:Magearna SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Magearna, detailing its intricate design]]
Magearna is a metallic, bipedal, and [[artificial Pokémon]]. Its body is primarily silver, made up of round shapes, and can be segmented into three sections: a medium-sized head, a small torso, and a large lower body that resembles a {{wp|ball gown}}. Its head has the shape of a horizontal teardrop, with the round bottom acting as its face, but its nape is perfectly straight instead of curved, as if cut off, making the back of its head look similar to a short ponytail. It has oval eyes, which are light pink with light red sclerae, have pupils in the shape of white crosses, and are outlined by a golden wiring that prongs upward into two eyelashes. It has a small, dot-like blue nose and pink mouth; two large, semicircular, rabbit-like ears with golden rims coming from a small nub on top of its head; and a gear with seven teeth around its head. On its forehead, thin, gray lines form the pattern of an eye; three lines run across the back of its head. Its torso is made of a spherical, silver frame. Attached to either side of its torso, there is a spherical shoulder which leads a thin upper arm and a claw-shaped lower arm with defined tips. Its lower body is mostly covered by the ball gown-like sphere, leaving only the tips of its thin legs with discs around the calfs exposed. This sphere is blunt and white at the top, where it connects to Magearna's torso, and is divided between a silver upper half and a white lower half by a bold, black stripe. The stripe does not meet at the front of the ball gown, instead connecting to halves of a broken gold ring with a pentagonal shield shape in the center; on the opposite side, there is a gold ring as well, but it is intact, thicker, and has a solid black center. The silver upper half has two rectangle shapes, defined by a thin, gray line, and each contain two golden, wavy patterns. The white lower half is made of four, retractable metal plates similar to the ruffles of a dress.

Magearna was created roughly 500 years ago by a scientist. Its body is actually nothing more than a vessel to its real self: the Soul-Heart held inside its chest. It consists of a light blue orb with four golden pins spread evenly around its vertical diameter and a heart split between blue and pink surrounded by golden speartips at the front. When attached to Magearna, the Soul-Heart is visible through the frame on its torso. It is described as an artificial soul and heart, created by collecting the life energy of other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/magearna/ Magearna | Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20181003152918/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/magearna/ archived])</ref> As seen in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', the Soul-Heart can be used as a power source, and if it is removed from {{OBP|Magearna|M19}}'s body, it is left unable to move but still conscious. When its vessel is not being powered by the Soul-Heart, Magearna's eyes turn off, becoming a dull gray. Magearna also has a number of other hidden features: it can open up the tip of its arms to reveal a cannon, a single flower or a bouquet of five pink flowers; additionally, the aforementioned movie depicts it as being able to water flowers with its arm and sing a calming lullaby. Magearna is a great caretaker, as it can synchronize its consciousness with people and Pokémon in order to understand their feelings; despite this, however, it is unable to [[Talking Pokémon|speak]] itself. When dormant or sad, it can also curl up into a sphere, taking on the appearance of a [[Poké Ball]], which it does by retracting its head, torso, arms, and legs into its ball gown. In order to reawaken, the power of Magearna's internal mechanisms must be restored, which can be achieved by a [[Key Stone]] sending energy to the [[Magearnite]] it holds.

Magearna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Fleur Cannon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Soul-Heart}} as an [[Ability]].

====Original Color====
Original Color Magearna has the same color scheme it had 500 years ago, at the time it was created. It has much vivid colors, with its head, torso frame, arms, and legs being painted gold. The center of the golden ring at the front has turned black, while the upper part of its ball gown was painted red, as well as its ears, more closely resembling a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Original Color Magearna's beautiful, vivid decoration was the color it had when it was first created 500 years ago. Magearna was created by a scientist as a gift to royalty, specifically to a king's daughter. In ''Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel'', the scientist who created {{OBP|Magearna|M19}} was a man named [[Nikola]], and the king's daughter who received it was an unnamed princess of the [[Azoth Kingdom]]. The magnificent, luxurious decoration of Original Color Magearna is said to have pleased the king's daughter, who admired its beauty. Magearna's current color scheme is a result of the original colors fading away over the centuries, leaving only the silver of its metallic body.

====Mega Magearna====
As a result of [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Magearna restores the colors it originally had. Its eyes became slightly tilted, are pink with even larger white crosses as pupils, and are outlined by red wiring. Its nose and mouth have also turned red. Mega Magearna no longer has a gear headband, left only with black stripe in its place; instead, its ears have moved forward and flipped upside-down, each with a smaller semicircle detaching from the center. A small, silver tiara with three spikes sits in between its ears. Its arms become straighter. The rings on its ball gown and the rectangles above each of them have folded upward, revealing more of Mega Magearna's legs and leading to the rings covering the front and back of its torso. The front ring features a pentagonal shield split between blue and pink, much like the Soul-Heart that now lies behind it. The lower half of its ball gown is much shorter and frillier in appearance, featuring heavy black outlines. Additionally, a pair of floating, four-toothed half-gears constantly orbit around Mega Magearna.

Depending on Magearna's form, there are some slight color variations. Regular Mega Magearna has red rings covering the front and back of its torso, with the front ring being golden at the center, and the color of its lower half of its ball gown and half-gears is dark gray. Original Color Mega Magearna, on the other hand, has rings that remain golden, with the center of the front ring being black, and the colors of the lower half of its ball gown and half-gears are white and silver, respectively.

The [[Mega Stone]] that triggers Magearna's Mega Evolution also activates a secret mechanism that was placed on it during its creation, removing its limitations but locking away its feelings in the process. Due to this, Mega Magearna becomes a heartless fighting machine that strives to defeat enemies endlessly. It can launch its floating gears at opponents and combine them into one giant gear around its flower-shaped cannon to unleash powerful beams.

===Form data===
Magearna has a separate form called Original Color Magearna. The two forms are non-interchangeable, and the difference between them is purely aesthetic: Original Color Magearna has its original red and gold color scheme instead of silver.

Prior to the launch of {{g|HOME}}, Original Color Magearna was not able to be legitimately obtained, and it only appeared in an official capacity in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. In Pokémon HOME, if a player completes the [[National Pokédex]] (up to {{p|Eternatus}}, including [[Mythical Pokémon]]), they will receive a [[Mystery Gift]] containing an Original Color Magearna.

====Mega Evolution====

==Trivia==
[[File:HOME801 s.png|thumb|150px|A {{Shiny}} Magearna as seen in {{g|HOME}}]]
* The concept of Magearna came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>
** This is not to be confused with the designer of Magearna, who is currently unknown.
* In [[Generation VII]], Magearna was the only Pokémon that was both able to learn new moves by [[TM]] yet was unable to learn {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}.
* Magearna is the first [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be made available in the core series through an [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Sun and Moon#QR Code Magearna|indefinitely active event]].
* {{Shiny}} Magearna is the only unobtainable Shiny Pokémon that has exclusively appeared in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* Until [[Generation VIII]], Magearna's Shiny color scheme was identical to the regular one. {{g|HOME}} is the first to include data for its updated palette, with {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s Version 1.2.0 update being the first to include its data in the [[core series]].
* Shiny Magearna's debut appearance in the animated series precedes its first appearance in a game, as ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]'' first aired in Japan on April 7, 2019, before the launch of Pokémon HOME on February 12, 2020.
* Magearna and {{p|Tatsugiri}} are the only Pokémon whose appearance while [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] differs depending on their form.
* Mega Magearna has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Magearna may be based on a {{wp|nursemaid}}, a young woman that would care for and look after children within the community of a large household, having historically worked in medieval castles. The gear around Magearna's head also resembles a maid's headdress as well as its central body looking similar to the common wear for a maid, such as its arms looking like long, puffed sleeves and the black divide near the end of its "gown" bearing resemblance to the end of an apron. It may also borrow from the idea of a {{wp|karakuri puppet}}, but does not resemble one. The rabbit ears and the yellow crescents on its body may reference the {{wp|moon rabbit}} legend. Magearna may also be inspired by {{wp|Mahina_(mythology)|Mahina}}, the Hawaiian goddess of the moon, due to her name resembling "machine" or "machina", and Magearna's color and lower body shape. Based on its name and access to {{m|Shift Gear}}, it might be a gear machine system.

====Name origin====
Magearna may be a combination of ''machina'' (Latin for ''machine''), ''{{wp|Mana (Oceanic cultures)|mana}}'', and ''gear''.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''' if it knows {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, but only if it is not holding a [[Z-Crystal]]. Mega Rayquaza was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, Rayquaza is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]], often viewed as their [[Legendary leader|leader]] by fans. It is also associated with {{p|Deoxys}}, with the two often being in conflict.

Rayquaza is the game mascot of {{g|Emerald Version}}, appearing on its boxart. It serves to end the raging {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon after they had been awakened by [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. Rayquaza plays an important role during {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}'s [[Delta Episode]], in which it is called upon to destroy a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteor]] threatening the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. It is also a central figure in the storyline of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}'s [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]].

==Biology==
[[File:Rayquaza Storybook.png|250px|thumb|right|Rayquaza and the [[Draconid people]] as depicted in a story book]]
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that also resembles a missile. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.

Rayquaza is said to be an equal to both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue The Legends of Hoenn Continue | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue archived])</ref> Befitting its righteous nature,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"Rayquaza has a never-ending appetite for doing what's right."''</ref> several millenia ago, it halted their clashes and forced them back into slumber, even in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] forms,<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named Rayquaza. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a Pokémon that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the world."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> and sealed them away in the [[Seafloor Cavern]],<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, all in an effort to keep any [[human]] or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> restoring order to nature in the process. For this, it was worshipped by the [[Draconid people]], who refer to it as "Lord Rayquaza" and their "Dragon Lord" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], as the savior of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. Thanks to its [[weather]] manipulation powers, it can {{a|Air Lock|cancel out weather effects}}. It has a strong and endless desire to do heroic deeds for the [[Pokémon world]].<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: ''"Rayquaza has a never-ending appetite for doing what's right."''</ref> Rayquaza has resided in the {{wp|ozone layer}} for millions of years, where it feeds on water, [[Meteorite|meteoroids]], and other particles. It is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. It is capable of breathing in outer space beyond the ozone layer. It loves [[Rayquaza Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. Rayquaza possesses a strong rivalry with the [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|extraterrestrial]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Deoxys}}, that repeatedly invades its territory on its way to the Pokémon world, with the two often clashing with each other in space. This is depicted in the movie ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and in the games [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], and {{pkmn|Masters EX}}.

Rayquaza is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Air Lock}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Rayquaza.
[[File:Destroying the meteoroid Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|right|Mega Rayquaza destroys [[Grand Meteor Delta|a large meteor]] on a collision course with the [[Pokémon world]]]]
As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the Δ (delta) symbol appearing on its forehead. Rayquaza's eyes now contain yellow pupils with red irises, and black, {{wp|shichishito}}-shaped markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing filaments that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these filaments have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. While in flight, these filaments give Mega Rayquaza a triangular profile. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing filament that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer.

According to the Draconid people, Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to ever [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of [[Mega Evolution]]—with the great lore of Lord Rayquaza, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and {{pkmn|battle}}—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> In its honor, they built the [[Sky Pillar]], where they guarded the rainbow stone that granted Rayquaza the power to Mega Evolve and recorded its many feats on the murals. Unlike other Pokémon, Rayquaza does not have a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve; instead, it has an internal organ that fills the same role. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named it the "'''mikado organ'''" (Japanese: '''ミカド{{tt|器官|きかん}}''') and proposed that the combination of its meteoroid diet and own internal energy creates an effect similar to a Mega Stone;<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: ''"It appears that within Rayquaza's body resides an organ with the same power as a [[Mega Stone]]. [...]. We believe Rayquaza usually inhabits the stratosphere, where its instincts prompt it to consume small meteoroids that fall into the atmosphere. The meteoroids merge with Rayquaza's internal energy to create an effect similar to a Mega Stone. We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution [...]."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> this effect, however, is not everlasting, and Rayquaza needs to keep eating meteorites in order to be able to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Swallowing meteorites allows it to store as much power as a Mega Stone. Your [[Meteorite]] summoned forth the power needed for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> The filaments sprouting from Mega Rayquaza's jutting jaw are made of particles that can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing it to manipulate the weather,<ref name="Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202050239/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza Mega Rayquaza]</ref> mainly in the form of {{a|Delta Stream|strong winds}} that fill the air and reduce the [[damage]] {{type|Flying}} Pokémon receive from super effective attacks. Mega Rayquaza is said to have been born from [[human]]ity's wish for salvation channeled through a huge meteorite. It is thought that occurrences of Rayquaza Mega Evolving led to the mechanism behind Mega Evolution to be known, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

Mega Rayquaza has enough power to repel the Primal forms of Groudon and Kyogre<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own [[Mega Evolution]], manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> by sapping up their power with a blazing light and whipping wind. It is also capable of destroying [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteors]] over six miles in diameter. It has been referred to as "Δ (Delta)". There have been sightings of Mega Rayquaza flying gracefully in the sky, resembling a shooting star streaking across the night sky after a meteoroid.

Mega Rayquaza is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Delta Stream}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==== In the core series ====

* In {{G|Black 2 and White 2}}, in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], during the downloadable tournament [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]], [[Winona]] will use a Rayquaza as part of her team.

==== In the side series games ====

* In {{G|Colosseum}}, during the [[Orre Colosseum]] [[Orre Colosseum/Lv. 100 Battle Mode Single|Level 100 Battle Mode Single]] format, [[Myth Trainer (Trainer class)|Myth Trainer]] [[Infin]] will use a Rayquaza as part of his team.

==== In the spin-off games ====
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. It must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world (Mystery Dungeon)|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-{{pkmn|battle}} Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Rayquaza is the leader of the [[Granite Zone|Granite]] and [[Flower Zone]]s. He's in charge of {{DL|Attraction (PokéPark)|Rayquaza's Balloon Panic}}.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Rayquaza first appears early into the game, fleeing to space in fear of [[Dark Matter]]'s influence. When Dark Matter attempts to take the [[Tree of Life]] to space, Rayquaza and Deoxys use their energy to try and slow its ascent from above, with Rayquaza even Mega Evolving. Ultimately, when Dark Matter regenerates itself for the first time, it unleashes even more energy, turning both Rayquaza and Deoxys to stone. At the conclusion of the event, Rayquaza turns back to normal and takes residence at [[Dragon Gate]] and guards the {{DL|Looplet|Wind Looplet}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]=====
Rayquaza debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fought {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it was invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza|Rayquaza (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Rayquaza showed up and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and [[Steven Stone]] tried to {{pkmn|battle}} it, but they were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it tried to stop the destructive battle between [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} as both were trying to obtain the [[Giant Rock]], and eventually succeeded.

=====[[Black Rayquaza]]=====
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', a {{Shiny}} Rayquaza emerged from [[Roy]]'s [[Ancient Poké Ball]] before flying away, motivating him to travel with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. It is one of the [[Six Heroes]], the [[Party|group]] of Pokémon that once belonged to the Ancient Adventurer, [[Lucius]]. In [[HZ129]], it was fed a [[Meteorite]], {{Tera}}stallized into a {{t|Dragon}} type due to [[Pagogo]]'s [[Terastal energy]], and was {{pkmn2|caught}} by Roy.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} appeared to own a Rayquaza, but it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. Whenever Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

Rayquaza made its physical animated series debut in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''. It used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} were on, presumably in order to protect its territory from them.

In [[BWS02]], {{an|Iris}} saw a Rayquaza and decided to follow it and see where it would go next.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Shiny Rayquaza capable of Mega Evolving was summoned alongside {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} by {{an|Hoopa}} to protect it from the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}}. The trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}, Primal {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}, in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, the battle ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], and Rayquaza departed for its home.

In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', a Rayquaza was battling {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space. The battle accidentally caused one of the meteors to head towards [[Alola]], though it was ultimately cut up by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}}, saving the [[region]] from harm.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a Rayquaza was captured by [[Team Rocket]] operatives and experimented on.

A Rayquaza appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', a Rayquaza fired a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at a {{p|Lucario}}.

A Rayquaza appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

In ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} saw a Rayquaza in the sky at [[Starfall Hill]] after saying goodbye to {{p|Minior}}.

A Rayquaza appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]''.

A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''.

A silhouetted Rayquaza appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

A Rayquaza appeared in a vision in ''[[JN134|In the Palms of our Hands!]]''.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
[[File:Mega Rayquaza PG.png|thumb|250px|Mega Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], a Rayquaza descended from the ozone layer and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]].

===Pokémon Generations===
In ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', a {{player|Trainer}}'s Mega Rayquaza destroyed the [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. It later battled a {{pkmn2|wild}} Deoxys that appeared from inside the Meteor, allowing its Trainer to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

===GOTCHA!===
A Rayquaza briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

[[File:May Mega Rayquaza Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Mega Rayquaza in Pokémon Evolutions]]
A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[PE06|The Wish]]''. It first appeared in a fantasy told by [[Zinnia]] as she recounted the history of the [[Draconid people]] to {{ga|May}}, and was later summoned by Zinnia to stop a meteorite. Understanding it chose May over her, Zinnia let May battle and catch it, allowing Rayquaza to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] under her ownership in her battle against Zinnia.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Rayquaza|Rayquaza (Adventures)}}
Rayquaza debuted in ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'', where [[Norman]] sought it out to stop the battle between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} in [[Sootopolis City]], using {{adv|Wally}}'s help to gain access to its sealed chamber inside [[Sky Pillar]]. While Rayquaza's power alone was insufficient to stop the battle, {{adv|Ruby}} was able to combine it with the powers of the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s, successfully stopping the conflict. Afterwards, Rayquaza broke free of the weakened Norman's control and fled.

In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Ruby and Norman once again sought to use Rayquaza to avert a crisis, this time to destroy a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that was threatening the planet. [[Zinnia]] also wanted to use Rayquaza for the same purpose, believing herself to be the one who should carry out the task. However, after Rayquaza rejected her, it befell to Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} to ride Rayquaza to space and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] it in order to destroy the meteoroid.

In this [[canon]], Rayquaza was once captured by the [[Pokémon Association]] in order to study it and create an artificial [[Jade Orb|Green Orb]] in order to control it, but the artifact was never fully completed before Rayquaza escaped its imprisonment.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Rayquaza Brawl.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong. Even though it is a very powerful [[Legendary Pokemon]], they still manage to defeat it.

Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}{{tt|*|Can't learn this in the core series games}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

Rayquaza being found/battled at the lake contrasts how it canonically is supposed to live in the ozone layer.

===={{sbw|Trophy}} information====
''A Sky High {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the [[ability]] {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all [[weather]]-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
[[File:Kalos Pokémon League Dragonmark Chamber SSB4WU.png|thumb|left|250px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Dragonmark Chamber}} of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.

====Trophy information====
''This {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Flying}} Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the [[Elite Four]]'s Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Rayquaza appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}, as well as retaining its rare appearance in the Dragonmark Chamber on the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Its Spirit Battle uses a Ridley puppet fighter and is fought on the Kalos Pokémon League stage's Dragonmark Chamber, which features Rayquaza as a stage element. During the battle, heavy winds are immediately in effect, referencing Mega Rayquaza's ability, Delta Stream, which creates strong winds.

==Trivia==
[[File:0384Rayquaza-Shiny.png|thumb|200x200px|Promotional artwork of Shiny Rayquaza]]
* Mega Rayquaza has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, and the highest base Attack stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Mega Evolved Pokémon.
** It is also the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Rayquaza's catch rate was raised from its original value of 3 to 45 in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. This is likely due to it being a required capture during the [[Delta Episode]] storyline of that game. Its catch rate was later reverted from 45 back to 3 in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|15th Anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[game mascot]]s of the [[core series]] games, making it Japan's favorite game mascot.
* {{Shiny}} Rayquaza is likely the most promoted Shiny Pokémon. Its Shiny form has been [[Mystery Gift|distributed]] via [[Event Pokémon|events]] 11 times, has appeared in 9 [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] prints, serves as a featured character in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' and a [[Black Rayquaza|recurring character]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}, and has made appearances in various [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] and {{pkmn|merchandise}}.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" at the {{player}} select screen of {{g|Team Turbo}}.
** However, this typo does not affect the minigames [[Charizard's Crossword Challenge]] and [[Mudkip's Word Finder]], because they don't use Rayquaza or any other Pokémon without evolutionary relatives as of [[Generation III]].
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to do so in the games.
** It is, therefore, the only Pokémon that can have a different held item (apart from [[Z-Crystal]]s) while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is also the only Pokémon not to have the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves. Instead, it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!".
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the non-playable Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}.
** This also makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn't require a specific held item.
* Rayquaza was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Rayquaza was voted the most popular [[Generation III]] Pokémon, receiving 60,939 votes. It was also the eighth-most popular Pokémon overall.
** It was also voted as the most popular [[Legendary Pokémon]], as well as being the only Legendary to make the top ten results.

===Origin===
Rayquaza's design may be based on the {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and the {{wp|Lindworm}}. Its role is similar to that of {{wp|Ziz}} in Hebrew legends. It matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. The markings on its body may be inspired from The Nazca Lines. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons, specifically Japanese dragons, who are commonly depicted with three claws, as opposed to four in Chinese dragons.

Rayquaza being a dragon coming from the cosmic space on earth might take inspiration from {{wp|meteorite}}s, the {{wp|Draconids}} meteor shower named after {{wp|Draco (constellaton)|Draco constellation}}, or the comet that gave the name {{wp|Uther Pendragon|Pendragon}} to the legendary King of the Britons. The yellow marking on Mega Rayquaza's head, as well as its overall appearance when its chains are linked to its tail when flying, is similar to the Greek letter {{wp|delta}}, likely signifying its connection to the [[Delta Episode]] from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza may be derived from 裂空 ''rekkū'' (sky-rending), a word appearing in various media and merchandise that featured Rayquaza. The latter half may be derived from 座 ''za'' (seat), relating to compounds such as 星座 ''seiza'' (constellation) and 王座 ''ōza'' (throne). It may also involve רָקִיעַ ''rāqī́aʿ'' (Hebrew for {{wp|firmament}}), ''{{wp|ray}}'', and ''{{wp|quasar}}''.

Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name for the {{wp|Emperor of Japan}}.

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the [[Red Orb]].

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Groudon is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Groudon is sought by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's landmass.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Groudon.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Groudon encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in red, segmented plates of thick, armor-like skin. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. Groudon has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with gray markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

Groudon is believed to be the personification of the land itself, and is described in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as a "maker of lands" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s continents and expanded the landmasses by generating magma formations. It is also capable of {{a|Drought|summoning intense sunlight}} that can dispel rain clouds, evaporate water, and weaken {{type|Water}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for stopping terrible floods. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], Groudon is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. It can walk on water by using magma to form a path beneath its feet. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|Rayquaza}}. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Groudon within [[Seafloor Cavern]]{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any human or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>/under [[Mt. Chimney]]{{sup/3|E}}, where it has since slumbered underneath the magma. During its sleep, its body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}. Groudon loves [[Groudon Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen in [[Hyperspace Desolate Land]], Groudon's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drought}} was its [[signature Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Groudon. Its appearance remains mostly the same, but it becomes larger and its skin color changes from dark red to deep crimson, with its underside, spikes, and teeth turning black. The blades on its tail are more separated from one another. The {{tt|Ω|Omega}} symbol can be seen on its arms, and its eyes, the inside of its mouth, and the enlarged openings between its armor plating glow bright yellow. Its irises are also red.

Primal Groudon is said to be Groudon's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon Primal Groudon | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062720/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon archived])</ref> Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought each other over the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatened to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy.

([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the [[Cave of Origin]], or the Red Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Groudon can outright {{a|Desolate Land|nullify}} Water-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY048|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to create new land with every step it takes.

Primal Groudon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Desolate Land}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==== In the main series games ====

* In {{G|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, during [[Episode RR]], [[Maxie]] will use a Groudon as part of his team.

==== In the side series games ====

* These notable Trainers all use Groudon:
** In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], during the [[Orre Colosseum]] [[Orre Colosseum/Lv. 100 Battle Mode Double|Level 100 Battle Mode Double]] format, [[Myth Trainer (Trainer class)|Myth Trainer]] [[Inity]] will use a Groudon as part of his team.
** In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], during the [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Masters Battle Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Groudon as part of his team if the player has not copied Pokémon from any save file, or has copied Pokémon from a save file of [[Pokémon Pearl]].

==== In the spin-off games ====
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. It will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fireballs at the [[Poké Ball]] to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, it will be captured.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen. Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. [[Team A.C.T.]] will go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, so a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}, is assembled. When they get defeated, the player's team has to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing [[Fogbound Lake]]'s existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

===Form data===
====Primal Groudon====
Primal Groudon is an additional form for Groudon that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Groudon is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Red Orb]], it will change into Primal Groudon; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Groudon is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Groudon is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Groudon inside a dungeon.

[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|250px|Primal Groudon in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Meta Groudon]]=====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', a former [[Team Magma]] scientist named [[Butler]], working as a magician at the [[Millennium Festival]], wished to use {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a manifestation of pure evil that simply had the appearance of a Groudon. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy Meta Groudon.

====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon|Groudon (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Groudon made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but did not have [[Blue Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who had captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred in ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon|Groudon (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Groudon was awakened by the presence of the [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it was shown in its [[Primal Reversion|primal state]], fighting with Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}} over the Giant Rock.

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

In the beginning of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Groudon was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to defeat it in the past. A Primal Groudon was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Groudon and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Groudon departed for its home.

====Minor appearances====
Groudon debuted in the opening sequence of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it was seen rising out of the lava in a volcanic area while being monitored by [[Team Magma]].

A Groudon appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]''.

A Groudon appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

A Groudon appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Primal Groudon PG.png|thumb|left|250px|Primal Groudon in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
In ''[[PG07|The Vision]]'', [[Courtney]] had a vision in which a Primal Groudon destroyed a chain of islands before attacking [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. While she was puzzled by the vision's meaning, this ultimately did not deter her from carrying on Team Magma's plans.

===GOTCHA!===
A Groudon briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].
{{-}}

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Primal Groudon Evolutions.png|thumb|right|250px|Primal Groudon in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
A [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Groudon appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PE06|The Wish]]''. It was shown battling Primal {{p|Kyogre}} before being defeated by {{p|Rayquaza}} as [[Zinnia]] told the story of the [[Draconid people]] to {{ga|May}}.

===Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!!===
Groudon appeared in [[PBK4]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Groudon|Groudon (Adventures)}}
Groudon's first appearance was in ''[[PS214|Assaulted by Pelipper I]]''. Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to {{pkmn|battle}} {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Blaise and {{adv|Amber}} tricked {{p|Hoopa}} into summoning Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places, with [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] making them both undergo [[Primal Reversion]] so that they could help defend the planet from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that was due to impact it in several days.

A Primal Groudon appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]''.

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

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Groudon appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Groudon is {{pkmn|category|called}} the Continent Pokémon, and that's not just because it lives on them. [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|Legend]] has it that Groudon actually created the continents. It has a rivalry with {{p|Kyogre}}, said to have created the oceans, and they apparently had an epic battle long ago. Perhaps our {{pkmn|world}} was born from this great battle between land and sea.''

'''PAL''': ''Groudon is called the Continent Pokémon, and that's not just because it lives on them. Legend has it that Groudon actually created the continents. It has a rivalry with Kyogre, said to have created the oceans, and they apparently had an epic battle long ago. Perhaps it was this battle of land and sea that created the world as we know it.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Both Groudon and Primal Groudon appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s. The former has a Spirit Battle against {{sbw|Bowser}} on the Battlefield from of {{sbw|Norfair}}, which has a lava floor hazard.

==Trivia==
[[File:Terrell.png|thumb|175px|[[Terrell]]'s Groudon costume]]
[[File:Groudon Beta.jpg|thumb|175px|Early Groudon design]]
* Groudon's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats are the reverse of Kyogre's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Groudon had a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Groudon is the only pure {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to not have an evolutionary relative.
* Groudon shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Primal Groudon is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Ground-type and Fire-type Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat, highest {{stat|Defense}} stat and base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* The [[Meta Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is [[Size discrepancies in the animated series|much taller]] than Groudon's game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon later appeared in the animated series in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', it was much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is gender unknown in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}'s story; it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay.
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* In its early design, Groudon's eyes were shaped differently, with the positioning of the spikes on its body being slightly different. Its head details became much more elongated in the final version, and the super-ancient Pokémon's signature body patterns are not present.
* When Groudon is caught in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it will have the {{t|Fire}} [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]].

===Origin===
Groudon may be modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and may be a personification of the land. Its conflict with Kyogre is similar to that of {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}} of Hebrew legend, who at the end of time would start a battle that would kill them both. Like Groudon, Behemoth is associated with the land. However, while Behemoth is usually depicted as a {{wp|Phacochoerus|warthog}}/{{wp|hippopotamus}}-like creature, Groudon resembles a {{wp|Therapoda|therapod}} dinosaur, with spikes resembling various species of {{wp|Ankylosauria}}.

The patterns on Groudon and Primal Groudon's legs and arms appear similar to the last letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|omega}}, which might signify the end of life, believed to happen with cataclysmic events such as volcano eruptions. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Kyogre}}'s {{wp|alpha}}.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). It may also involve 土 ''do'' (earth) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for booming or crashing sound).

'''Kyogre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイオーガ''' ''Kyogre'') is a {{type|Water}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Kyogre''' if it holds the [[Blue Orb]].

Along with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Kyogre is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Kyogre is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Kyogre is sought by [[Team Aqua]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's waters.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Kyogre.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kyogre encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Kyogre is a massive, {{wp|whale}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. Kyogre has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. It has a short, pointed tail. Near the tail are two small back fins tattered with four trailing parts, with the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.

Kyogre is believed to be the personification of the sea itself, and is described in in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as the "maker of oceans" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s oceans and expanded them by generating heavy tidal waves. It is also capable of {{a|Drizzle|summoning intense rainstorms}} to cloak the world's entire sky and weaken {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for quenching areas of the world plagued with droughts. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], it is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. Kyogre can fly when there is no water for it to swim in. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Groudon}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|Rayquaza}}. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Kyogre within [[Seafloor Cavern]],<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any [[human]] or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> where it has since slumbered in the marine trench. During its sleep, Kyogre's body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea}}. Kyogre loves [[Kyogre Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen with [[Hyperspace Primordial Sea]], Kyogre's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Kyogre is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Origin Pulse}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drizzle}} was its [[signature Ability]].

===Forms===
Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Kyogre. It retains its general body structure, but it grows larger and its main skin color becomes a darker shade of blue. The red markings along its body become light blue, and its eyes glow yellow with orange irises and orange-red pupils. The markings on its pectoral fins slightly change to form {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbols, which connect to its outer nails with red markings connecting the inner nails. Every part of its skin that was originally white becomes clear and translucent, with the large ovals on its head now connected to clear markings stretching from its tail to its forehead, where another {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbol is formed. The trailing parts of its tail grow longer and gain translucent webbing, and the areas between its pectoral fin markings also become clear. The translucent parts of its body reveal organ-like structures that glow with a mysterious light; it has a large "organ" at the center of its body, two smaller ones aligned with the large oval markings, and two more located in its pectoral fins.

Primal Kyogre is said to be Kyogre's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it spills forth as seawater, which its body composition is nearly identical to, while its skin glows similarly to that of sapphire.<ref name="Mega">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062721/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre archived])</ref> Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon fought each other over the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatened to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue The Legends of Hoenn Continue | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue archived])</ref> Research conducted by the [[Weather Institute]] reveals that Primal Kyogre can annihilate all life before resetting the planet.<ref>[[Maxie]]: ''"The "beginning" that Primal Kyogre brings about... The way that it resets the world... It starts by driving every living thing on this planet to death first! This path leads only to an inescapable despair that cannot be withstood. That is all you have brought us. This is what comes of the madness of thinking that you could ever control the super-ancient Pokémon's power!'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the Cave of Origin, or the Blue Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Kyogre can summon storms which drastically raise the sea level and outright {{a|Primordial Sea|nullify}} Fire-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY049|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to have widened the seas by a large margin simply by taking a swim.

Primal Kyogre is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Primordial Sea}} as an [[Ability]].

===Form data===
====Primal Kyogre====
Primal Kyogre is an additional form for Kyogre that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Kyogre is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Blue Orb]], it will change into Primal Kyogre; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Kyogre is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Kyogre is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Kyogre inside a dungeon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Kyogre made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have [[Red Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who had captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Kyogre was awakened by the presence of the [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it was shown in its [[Primal Reversion|primal state]], fighting with Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} over the Giant Rock.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a Kyogre was among countless other {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that arrived at [[Samiya]] when [[Ash Ketchum]] replaced all of the [[Sea Crown]]'s crystals. However, when [[the Phantom]] attempted to make all the Water-types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre was part of the ensuing commotion. {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} calmed them down using {{m|Heart Swap}} to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some {{p|Wailord}} broke open the Phantom's ship, followed by some {{p|Chinchou}} swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the ship, destroying it.

In the beginning scene of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Kyogre was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to defeat it in the past. A Primal Kyogre was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Kyogre and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Kyogre departed for its home.

In ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', a Kyogre had been {{status|poison}}ed and was being pursued by [[Hunter D]] and [[Hunter D's crew members|his crew members]]. However, {{an|Lana}} was able to feed it some bait laced with [[Antidote]], restoring its health and allowing it to defeat the hunter. However, Kyogre was still enraged because of the hunters' actions, forcing Lana to reel it in with her [[fishing|fishing rod]] and have her newly evolved {{TP|Lana|Primarina}} sing to it in order to calm it down. After Lana calmed Kyogre down, it thanked her for restoring its health and calming it down before leaving peacefully.

====Minor appearances====

In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} tricked {{p|Hoopa}} into summoning Kyogre and Groudon from their places of rest.

[[File:Marina.png|thumb|175px|{{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}}'s Kyogre costume]]
* Kyogre's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats are the reverse of Groudon's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Kyogre had a catch rate of 5.
* [[Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
* [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, {{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}} has a [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] based on Kyogre.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Surf}} will allow the {{player}} to surf more quickly than with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (except for {{p|Sharpedo}}). This action has its own animation and larger hitbox.
** Additionally, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Dive}} will allow the player to avoid underwater battles with [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. This action also has its own animation and a larger hitbox.

===Origin===
Kyogre may be a personification of the Earth's oceans. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|cetacean}}s, primarily {{wp|toothed whale}}s. However, Leviathan does not resemble Kyogre in traditional depictions.

The patterns on Kyogre and Primal Kyogre's fins appear similar to the first letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|alpha}}, which might signify the origin of life, believed to have started in the oceans. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Groudon}}'s {{wp|omega}}.

====Name origin====
Kyogre is a combination of 海 ''kai'' (sea) or 海王 ''kaiō'' (king of the sea) and ''{{wp|ogre}}''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSpN7TDmmm4 Interview] with [[Nob Ogasawara]] by [[TheSpeedGamers]].</ref> It may also involve ''{{wp|orca}}'' (killer whale).

'''Latios''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティオス''' ''Latios'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Latios can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latios''' using the [[Latiosite]]. Mega Latios was introduced with {{g|X and Y}}, and later made its official debut in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] along with {{p|Latias}}.

==Biology==
Latios is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a birdlike body stylized after a plane. Its body flows slowly into a thick neck, giving it a bulky appearance. It has no legs, usually floating instead. Most of its body is blue, with white areas near its arms and a white stripe on its back that extend up to its head. Jet-plane wings sit on top of its back, while two tall, jagged fins point behind it from its rear. A red triangle marks the center of its chest, while a blue mask partially covers its face. Long, ear-like fins extend from its jaws to over its head, and its eyes are red. It has three-fingered arms with a blue covering on the outer side of the lower arms. Latios is a male-only species, with {{p|Latias}} being its female counterpart.

Latios has a gentle nature and will avoid fighting whenever possible. In the anime, however, Latios has a grumpy attitude that can easily distrust humans sometimes. It can fly faster than a jet by tucking in its arms. [[Latios (M05)|In the fifth movie]], {{adv|Eon duo|in Pokémon Adventures}}, and in {{aniseries|JN}}, Latios had the ability "Sight Sharing", which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. [[Oakley]] also mentioned that it can shape-shift. It prefers compassionate Trainers, to whom it opens its heart. Latios uses telepathy to detect locations and the emotions of others and can understand human speech. It can summon {{m|Luster Purge|explosive light energy}} whenever an offensive situation is required. It lives by the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}. As seen in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', like other [[Legendary Pokémon]], Latios can be found in the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. Latios loves [[Latios Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and followed it to a secret spot in the past. Latios can be summoned by the [[Eon Flute]].

Latios is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Luster Purge}}.

===Forms===
Latios can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Latios.

As Mega Latios, the blue parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead of its chest. With the exception of its eyes and body size, Mega Latios is identical in appearance to Mega Latias.

Mega Latios is said to be one of the fastest Pokémon in the world to exist. Mega Latios is regarded as one of the best Pokémon for aerial combat. Due to Mega Evolving, Mega Latios can achieve even higher speed in flight. Mega Latios is both larger and faster than Mega Latias. It can reach a speed of Mach 4.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062726/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/the-eon-pokemon-appear Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Latios]</ref>

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If blue is selected Latios roams Hoenn and Latias is found at the island. If red is selected, Latios is found at the island and Latias roams Hoenn.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Latios (M05)]]=====
Latios debuted in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''. {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] captured Latios and used him to power the [[Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare]], along with the stolen [[Soul Dew]]. Latios ended up sacrificing himself to save [[Alto Mare]] from an enormous tidal wave.

=====Other=====
In ''[[PK16|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]'', a Latios and Latias used their powers to help {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{MTR}}, and the other Pokémon search for the legendary "{{p|Wailord}}'s Tear" that was said to be beneath the ocean.

Latios made his animated series debut in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', under the ownership of {{si|Tobias}}. He was used during Tobias's [[Full Battle]] against {{Ash}} in the semifinals of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. The Eon Pokémon defeated {{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Swellow}}, but was defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was knocked out at the same time.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Latios capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] was summoned alongside Latias and a {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} by {{an|Hoopa}} to protect it from the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}}.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Latios shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Latias}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.

===Origin===
Latios and Latias appear to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} (due to their wing shape and speedy flight), a {{wp|dragon}}, a {{wp|griffin}}, and a bird. In particular, their lack of feet and continuous levitation might be inspired by the {{wp|common swift}}, a bird with tiny feet (its Latin name ''Apus'' means ''without feet'') that spends most of its life in the air. Similarly, they might be inspired by the {{wp|martlet}}, a mythical bird in English heraldry that never roosts and is usually depicted with tufts of feathers in place of feet. Their red and blue plumage might be based on parrots in the genus {{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}. They could also be based on {{wp|junglefowl}} due to their possible {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}.

Due to their classification as ''Eon'' Pokémon and their connection to the [[Soul Dew]], Latios and Latias might be inspired by the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, which are said to be emanations of God. In {{wp|Valentinianism}}, these aeons form male/female pairs called syzygies. They may also be loosely based on the Chinese philosophical concept of {{wp|yin and yang}}, which are opposite but interconnected natural forces. Latios, being male and the more aggressive of the two, would represent yang. Their names and Latios's signature move {{m|Luster Purge}} might also be a reference to {{wp|Eos}}, the Greek goddess of dawn.

====Name origin====
Latios may be a combination of ''lateō'' (Latin for ''I conceal'', ''I lie hidden'') and ''-os'' (Latin masculine suffix). It might also reference ''{{wp|Eos}}'' (the Greek goddess of dawn) or ''{{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}'' (a genus of parrots with red and blue plumage). It's possible that its name is derived from {{wp|Plato}}'s dialogue {{wp|Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaios}}.

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Latias can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latias''' using the [[Latiasite]]. Mega Latias was introduced with {{g|X and Y}}, and later made its official debut in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] along with {{p|Latios}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Latias invisible anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Latias's invisibility powers]]
Latias is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a birdlike body stylized after a plane. Its long neck stretches forward from its squat body. It has no legs, usually floating instead. The rear half of its body is largely red and the upper half white, with jet-plane wings high on its rear and fins on the bottom near its tail. A blue triangle marks the center of its chest, while a red mask partially covers its face. Ear-like fins sit on top of its head and its eyes are yellow. It has short, three-fingered arms with a red covering on the outer side of the lower arms. Latias is a female-only species, with {{p|Latios}} being its male counterpart.

Latias ruffles its feathers and cries loudly when there is hostility toward it. Its glass-like, downy feathers can enfold its body and refract light, which allows it to become invisible or alter its appearance. It is gentle, highly intelligent, and can understand human speech. It is capable of using telepathy to communicate with others. [[Latias (M05)|In the fifth movie]], {{adv|Eon duo|in Pokémon Adventures}}, and in {{aniseries|JN}}, Latias had the ability "Sight Sharing", which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. It normally does not make contact with humans or other Pokémon and disappears when an enemy is nearby. It forms herds with several members and is usually found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}. As seen in [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|''Pokémon Horizons'']], like other [[Legendary Pokémon]], Latias can be found in the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. Latias loves [[Latias Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. Latias can be summoned by the [[Eon Flute]]. In numerous media, such as the movie Pokémon Heroes and the Pokémon Adventures manga, Latias is shown to be able to disguise itself as a human female.

Latias is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mist Ball}}.

===Forms===
Latias can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Latias.

As Mega Latias, the red parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead of its chest. With the exception of its eyes and body size, Mega Latias is identical in appearance to Mega Latios.

Mega Latias is said to be one of the fastest Pokémon in existence. Mega Latias reach a speed of Mach 4 while outpacing a jet in flight. Due to being smaller than Mega Latios, Mega Latias is much more agile and can make very sharp turns.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062726/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/the-eon-pokemon-appear Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Latias]</ref>Mega Latias has enhanced its flying capabilities and attack power, enabling it to scatter transparent particles to confuse its enemies quickly.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|thumb|200px|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
* Latias shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Latios}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
* A pre-alpha sketch depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.
* Latias is the last [[Generation III]] Pokémon to appear in a non-special {{pkmn|animated series}} episode, debuting in ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]''.

===Origin===
Latias and Latios appear to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} (due to their wing shape and speedy flight), a {{wp|dragon}}, a {{wp|griffin}}, and a bird. Like many birds, Latias is said to possess {{wp|down feathers}}. In particular, their lack of feet and continuous levitation might be inspired by the {{wp|common swift}}, a bird with tiny feet (its Latin name ''Apus'' means ''without feet'') that spends most of its life in the air. Similarly, they might be inspired by the {{wp|martlet}}, a mythical bird in English heraldry that never roosts and is usually depicted with tufts of feathers in place of feet. Their red and blue plumage might be based on parrots in the genus {{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}. They could also be based on {{wp|junglefowl}} due to their possible {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}.

Due to their classification as ''Eon'' Pokémon and their connection to the [[Soul Dew]], Latias and Latios might be inspired by the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, which are said to be emanations of God. In {{wp|Valentinianism}}, these aeons form male/female pairs called syzygies. They may also be loosely based on the Chinese philosophical concept of {{wp|yin and yang}}, which are opposite but interconnected natural forces. Latias, being female and the more passive of the two, would represent yin. Their names and Latias's ability to refract light might also be a reference to {{wp|Eos}}, the Greek goddess of dawn.

====Name origin====
Latias may be a combination of ''lateō'' (Latin for ''I conceal'', ''I lie hidden'') and ''-as'' (Latin feminine suffix). It might also reference ''{{wp|Eos}}'' (the Greek goddess of dawn) or ''{{wp|Eos (bird)|Eos}}'' (a genus of parrots with red and blue plumage). It's possible that its name is derived from {{wp|Plato}}'s dialogue {{wp|Critias (dialogue)|Critias}}.

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type|Dark}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Darkrai''' using the [[Darkranite]]. Mega Darkrai was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007. It and {{p|Cresselia}} are often collectively referred to as the [[lunar duo]] by fans, and it is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]. Darkrai plays a central role in [[Mega Dimension]], serving as one of the key figures in its storyline.

==Biology==
[[File:Darkrai legs ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|Darkrai's extendable legs]]
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. Darkrai generally stays afloat in the air and does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages similar to legs and stand on the ground. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

Darkrai resides in [[Newmoon Island]], where it is active during the new moon or moonless nights. Its main ability is to {{m|Dark Void|lull people to sleep and make them experience horrible nightmares}}. However, it is not intentionally malicious and only does this to as an act of self-defense or to chase [[Human|people]] and Pokémon away from its territory. One time, Darkrai caused an entire village to experience nightmares, with the villagers having reported seeing it in their dreams. It is [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] while inside dreams. As seen in ''[[DP101|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'', Darkrai not only creates nightmares, but is also attracted to them. Only Darkrai's counterpart, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cresselia}}, or one of its [[Lunar Feather]]s, can cure those afflicted by its power. It's also possible to fend off Darkrai's nightmares by combining [[Snorlax (Sleep)|Snorlax]]'s Drowsy Power with Cresselia's own. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it has attempted to use Dark Void while it is asleep, perhaps because it cannot contain its overflowing power.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The relationship between Darkrai and Cresselia can vary between different individuals and [[canon]]s, with some depicting it as antagonistic (''Sleepless In Pre-Battle!'' and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]), while others portray it as cooperative (''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'').

In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', Darkrai was shown to be capable of speech through telepathy. In the same movie, it is revealed to be capable of flying at high speeds and becoming a shadow in order to escape danger or avoid humans. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Darkrai can use an ability called Dark Power, in which it opens a large black portal on the ground to either trap people and Pokémon in a world of total darkness (referred to as Dark Void) or teleport them somewhere else. Darkrai's capacity to cause nightmares can be enhanced by absorbing tons of [[Mega Power]], creating a mélange of subconscious thoughts and memories from people and Pokémon, as seen with [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. If this isn't stopped, however, it will expand and cause distortions to appear in the real world. This also makes it lose control of itself and harms it to the point of triggering [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. The [[Eureka Seed]] can bring out the full power of Darkrai.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning and using the move {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Bad Dreams}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Darkrai Hidden Eye.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Darkrai's hidden eye]]
{{spoilers}}
Darkrai can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Darkrai.

When Mega-Evolved, Darkrai's entire body doubles in length and becomes almost five times heavier. Its upper body grows larger and more spherical, while its arms transform into long tentacles that gyrate. Six similar, wispy, swirling tatters protrude from it: five extend from the back, and one appears on the chest. From the longer, tattered skirt, two long, swirling legs emerge. Darkrai's ghostly plume lengthens, becoming pointier, with two locks on each side. The left eye is obscured by this "hair", revealing the right eye, which has an eerie hot pink hue. The previously red growth around its neck has turned black and now features eight new triangular shapes—three small triangles on two parallel sides and one large triangle on the opposite sides. In between these shapes, eight thin, white, vein-like lines appear. Darkrai can now open and close the neck growth when it retracts its head. When exposed, the growth appears dark gray and glows in shades from magenta to dark red as the head is retracted. Mega Darkrai hovers horizontally with its head pointing forward. From this angle, the new appendages, triangles, and lines resemble a vile eye with twisting spikes. When the head disappears, Mega Darkrai's neck reveals a white pupil and blue iris, which, combined with the magenta color change, creates an unsettling resemblance to a demonic eye. At the same time, its legs intertwine and the skirt wraps around them, giving the lower body the appearence of a single long tentacle.

Thanks to Mega Evolution, Darkrai's nightmare powers have significantly increased, to the point where it can block out the Sun and cast the entire area into total darkness. This allows it to seamlessly blend into its surroundings and disappear into the shadows. It is said that no one can escape the gaze of Mega Darkrai's large, menacing eye, which it can use for attacks. Mega Darkrai can create copies of itself to surround foes before attacking them with dark energy.

[[File:PP2 Darkrai.png|thumb|200px|Darkrai in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]]]
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]] and {{p|Dialga}}'s corruption into [[Primal Dialga]] in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist in the game. He resided in [[Wish Park]] and wants to merge the Wish Park with PokéPark. When the Dark Vortex threatens to destroy both [[dimension]]s, Darkrai sacrifices himself to stop it, but is later brought back by {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} during the post-game.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Darkrai is the final boss, summoned by [[Blake Hall]].
* [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]: [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare#Special encounters|Darkrai]] is the main antagonist and final boss of the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. About six months before the events of the game, Darkrai wandered into {{ci|Lumiose}} and settled on top of [[Prism Tower]] to stay away from the people and Pokémon down below. As a result, however, it got exposed to all the [[Mega Power]] leaking from [[Ange]], causing its nightmare powers to be enhanced and go out of control. This created a dimension composed of the subconcious thoughts and memories of the people and Pokémon of Lumiose, [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. After the creation of hyperspace, Darkrai hid in one of its pockets, one that takes the form of [[Newmoon Island]], [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]], accessable through the giant distortion above Prism Tower. With the help of [[Ansha]]'s [[Ansha#Befriended|Hoopa]], Team MZ succesfully reached Darkrai, defeated and caught it, calming it down in the process. With Darkrai no longer maintaining Hyperspace, the dimension would eventually cease to exist.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Darkrai anime.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Darkrai (M10)]]=====
Darkrai debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as a protagonist. It took the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the [[Space-Time Towers]] music player to calm the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. It reappeared in a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Darkrai (recurring)====
A Darkrai appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', where it was a target of [[Matori]] and the [[Matori Matrix]], along with {{OBP|Cresselia|recurring}}.

Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Dark Pulse}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, and its Ability is {{a|Bad Dreams}}.

=====Other=====
Darkrai made its animated series debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in ''The Rise of Darkrai'', this Darkrai was maliciously causing nightmares, much like the one in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured out by {{TRT}}'s machine, which was also causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it from giving nightmares, but due to Darkrai's early arrival, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}} competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] using only Darkrai. In the [[Sinnoh League]] semifinals, this Darkrai was used against Ash, where it easily defeated {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, and {{AP|Gible}}. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

In ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]'', {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and {{TP|James|Inkay}} visited a Darkrai courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys. Darkrai scared them out of a dark world in which it resided.

In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', a Darkrai was the source of {{AP|Pikachu}}, Meowth, and [[Squishy]]'s nightmare. Darkrai eventually left as soon as it was spotted by Ash and his friends.

====Minor appearances====
A Darkrai appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

====Pokédex entries====

When {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attack collided with the beam, it caused {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} to turn to stone. In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', the beam was revealed to have been Darkrai. In ''[[PS438|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII]]'', Sird was revealed to have {{pkmn2|released}} it into the [[Distortion World]], where it clashed with [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Cresselia}} and was briefly controlled by [[Charon]].

'''PAl''': ''A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep.''

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Darkrai's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 2 {{stat|Special Attack}} and 1 {{stat|Speed}} is unique.
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in both {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}.
* Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' in his sleep before the {{player}} cures him of his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[Surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* Darkrai was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, as well as {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Darkrai is the only non-{{type|Ghost}} Pokémon capable of traveling through walls and all other terrain types without the All-Terrain Hiker [[IQ#IQ Sill|IQ skill]].
* Despite being a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon, the {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky is referred to as a [[Gender|male]].
* Mega Darkrai is tied with Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for having the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Dread Plate]].

===Origin===
Darkrai appears to be the personification of {{wp|nightmare}}s, bearing resemblance to folklore creatures such as the {{wp|mare (folklore)|mare}} and other {{wp|night hag}}s. Similarly, some types of {{wp|jinn}}s are also associated with nightmares and {{wp|sleep paralysis}}. It may also draw some inspiration from sleep deities and/or personifications, such as {{wp|Morpheus}}.

Darkrai's appearance is that of a {{wp|ghost}}ly {{wp|shadow person|shadow}}, likely inspired by some popular descriptions of {{wp|bogeyman}} as a dark and formless figure. It may also be inspired by common hallucinations of shadowy figures during sleep paralysis episodes. In contrast to its counterpart Cresselia's association with the crescent moon, Darkrai also appears to represent the {{wp|new moon}}.

Darkrai shares some similarities with the {{wp|nocnitsa}} from Slavic folklore, a type of evil spirit that often torments children with nightmares, gradually draining their life energy. Its physical appearance has many distinct depictions, some of which strongly resemble Darkrai—the most notable ones being: disheveled white hair, a body made out of shadows, and the absence of legs. Furthermore, in some regions it's said the nocnitsa can be stopped if one possesses a knife or a stone with a hole, similar to how a [[Lunar Feather]] can dispel Darkrai's nightmares.

Given its fabric-like texture in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} and long and stilt-like legs, Darkrai appears to be inspired by a {{wp|scarecrow}}, forming a contrast to {{p|Cresselia}}'s bird-like design.

The black markings around its eyes could be seen to resemble eyebags, which could be caused by a lack of sleep resulting from nightmares.

Mega Darkrai seems to take inspiration from a [[wp:Beholder_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)|beholder]], a fantasy creature commonly depicted as a floating sphere with a big eyeball and tendrils that may contain other, smaller eyes. Given its powers over darkness that can cover the sun, it might also be based on a [[wp:Solar_eclipse|solar eclipse]]. It is also probably inspired by {{wp|Amatsu-Mikaboshi}}, the evil god of stars in Japanese mythology, whose name means "August Star of Heaven" or "Dread Star of Heaven", which explained its resemblance to a giant star. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a [[wp:Human_eye|human eye]], with the main body as the eye itself, the tendrils [[wp:Conjunctiva|blood vessels of the conjunctiva]], and the legs the [[wp:Optic_nerve|optic nerve]], likely referencing the [[wikipedia:Evil Eye|Evil Eye]]. This optical form, and the changing of the exposed eye on Darkrai's true face, could be in reference to the sacrifice of an eye by the Norse god [[wp:Odin|Odin]], who gave one of his eyes up to drink from a fountain which gave him great knowledge. Additionally, the design of Mega Darkrai may also be reminiscent of [[wikipedia:ja:バックベアード|Backbeard]], a recurring adversary from the ''[[wikipedia:GeGeGe no Kitarō|GeGeGe no Kitarō]]'' series.<ref>[https://en.namu.wiki/w/%EB%8B%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%9D%BC%EC%9D%B4 Darkrai] on Namu Wiki</ref><ref>[https://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%AC%E3%83%80%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4 メガダークライ] on Pixivpedia</ref><ref>ZangBerries, December 13, 2025, [https://x.com/ZangBerries/status/1999501666278600710 Backbeard is the basis of Mega Darkrai.]</ref>

====Name origin====
Darkrai may be a combination of ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark).

'''Melmetal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メルメタル''' ''Melmetal'') is a {{type|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It first appeared in {{g|GO}} and later made its [[core series]] debut in {{LGPE}}.

In {{g|GO}}, it [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Meltan}} when the player uses 400 Meltan {{OBP|Candy|GO}}. Meltan cannot evolve in the core series games.

Melmetal can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Melmetal''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Melmetal debuted with the release of Pokémon GO [[transfer]] compatibility with {{g|HOME}}.

Melmetal was officially revealed on October 24, 2018. It is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] in {{LGPE}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Melmetal LGPE Concept Art.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Melmetal is made up of several metallic nuts that it can move individually]]
Melmetal is a large, silver {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a vaguely humanoid build that consists mostly of liquid metal. Many dark-gray {{wp|Nut (hardware)|hexagonal nuts}} are embedded in or attached to its body: one around each shoulder, one around the center of each arm, one in each hand, one in each foot, and a small light gray one in the center of its torso. A large, golden hexagonal nut encircles its neck and a smaller one acts as its head. Floating in its head is a small, dark gray sphere which may be oscillated. It has a small red tail resembling an electrical wire.

According to [[Professor Willow]], Melmetal lived in a secluded area deep within a wooded land that was full of sedimentary rocks rich with magnetite, and its shed metal was used by ancient people to create unique metal tools. The process of [[Evolution]] has hardened its body, making it incredibly sturdy. However, it is still in a liquid state and has some flexibility, particularly in its heavy hex nut arms.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon Let's Go site | New Pokémon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220304212944/https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ archived copy])</ref> Melmetal applies centrifugal force on its arms, allowing it to have the strongest punches of all Pokémon. When it attacks, the nuts encircling its arms slide down as if to bulk up its fists.<ref name=Guide>''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!: Official Trainer's Guide & Pokédex]]'', p. 362</ref> It is said to be created when one strong {{p|Meltan}} [[Pokémon fusion|absorbs]] the group it lives with in order to evolve.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"Professor Oak and I have made a guess as to how Meltan can re-form back into Melmetal—because Meltan have bodies similar to molten metal, they have a unique ability to merge and trigger an Evolution into Melmetal! "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> When it reaches the end of its life, it will rust and break down into small shards, from which new Meltan will be born. In ancient times, Melmetal was worshiped for its ability to create metal from nothing.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"According to these records, Melmetal was once regarded as a sacred being in a secluded community deep inside a wooded land that was rich with magnetite-bearing sedimentary rock. People there developed ways to make unique tools out of metal shed by Melmetal. Without such metal, they couldn't have made these tools back then. "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> After its death 3,000 years ago, its worshippers placed the Meltan born from it inside [[Mystery Box]]es as a way for Melmetal to return in the future.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"Maybe the people who glorified and worshiped Melmetal decided to keep it safe when the Pokémon somehow split itself apart. Doing so could have been thought of as the only way for the people to ever meet Melmetal again. "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref>

Melmetal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Double Iron Bash}}.

===Forms===
Melmetal has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
[[File:MelmetalVMAXPokémonGO48.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Melmetal bringing the hex nuts on its fist together to punch harder]]
As Gigantamax Melmetal, it becomes a large cyclopean giant, told in legends. The dark-gray hexagonal nuts are now embedded as five fingers for its hands, two for the feet, two underneath the shoulder, and two connecting the shoulder to a large golden nut at the center of its chest. A silver hexagonal nut is located on its abdomen, and it has a large red tail resembling an electrical wire located behind it. The head is shaped like a knight's helmet with three red clouds surrounding it. Inside is a smaller golden hexagonal nut, with a glowing red and gray sphere floating in the center of it.

In its Gigantamax state, Melmetal can use its elastic and flexible body to land punches at foes while keeping its distance. By bringing the hex nuts on its fists together, it can create gigantic fists for an even bigger punch. Gigantamax Melmetal can release tremendous electric beams from its belly, capable of vaporizing opponents and even an entire hill. The electricity is generated by the flow of liquid metal stored in Gigantamax Melmetal's body.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-melmetal/ Gigantamax Melmetal | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220131231737/https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-melmetal/ archived copy])</ref>

Gigantamax Melmetal is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Meltdown}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Melmetal]]=====
Melmetal debuted in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', after {{Ash}}'s Meltan [[Pokémon fusion|fused]] with its fellow {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} in order to [[Evolution|evolve]] the night before the [[Manalo Conference]] finals.

====Minor appearances====

===GOTCHA!===
A Melmetal briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==

==In the TCG==
{{main|Melmetal (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Melmetal is the only Mythical Pokémon that learns {{M|Protect}} via level up.
* Melmetal and its pre-evolved form {{p|Meltan}} have several unique attributes:
** They are the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] to be part of an evolutionary line, and the only Mythical Pokémon that can be [[trade]]d or placed in a {{GO|Gym}} as a defender in {{g|GO}}.
** They are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{LGPE}} to not be introduced in [[Generation I]].
** They are the only Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! whose [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex numbers]] (152 and 153) are not the same as their [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex numbers]] (808 and 809). While Kanto Pokédex numbers are normally used throughout the game, the [[stats judge|judge]] screen displays National Pokédex numbers, which is evident for Meltan and Melmetal.
** They are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation VII]] that are not in any version of the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédex]].
** They are the only Pokémon in the National Pokédex of Pokémon GO and {{g|HOME}} ([[Nintendo Switch]] only) to not be [[Pokémon discovery|listed in a region section]]. Instead, they are put into "Unidentified" and "Unknown Origins" respectively.
* Melmetal is the only Mythical Pokémon to have a [[Gigantamax]] form.
** Melmetal is also the only Pokémon introduced in Generation VII to have a Gigantamax form.
** Moreover, Melmetal is the only Pokémon whose Gigantamax form cannot be obtained through the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}.
*** Although Melmetal's {{Shiny}} form is legitimately available, its Shiny Gigantamax form is not, as the Gigantamax Melmetal distributed in Pokémon HOME is not Shiny. Melmetal is the only Pokémon with this attribute.
* Melmetal is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Mythical Pokémon.
* Gigantamax Melmetal is the only Gigantamax form that is not listed as being [[Pokémon discovery|discovered]] in [[Galar]] on the [https://zukan.pokemon.co.jp/ official Japanese Pokédex website], with it instead considered to be of unknown origins like its base form.
* Melmetal is coded to learn the move {{m|Thunder Punch}} upon [[Evolution|evolving]]. However, this is impossible due to Meltan being unable to evolve in the [[core series]] games.
* In Generation VII, the levels at which Meltan and Melmetal can learn moves, aside from 1, are all divisible by 9. In [[Generation VIII]], they are divisible by 8 instead.
* Melmetal is the only Pokémon that cannot be obtained in [[Poké Ball]]s that its pre-evolved form can be obtained in.

===Origin===
Melmetal has similar design aesthetics to its pre-Evolution, Meltan. Its head and features resemble hexagonal {{wp|Nut (hardware)|nuts}}, and its tail resembles an exposed wire. Its body may be based on either {{wp|gallium}} or {{wp|Mercury (element)|mercury}}; both are metallic elements with relatively low melting points (gallium melting at 86 °F (30 °C) and mercury being liquid at room temperature), both can conduct electricity, and both can easily react with many other metals to form {{wp|alloy}}s and {{wp|Amalgam (chemistry)|amalgams}}.

Melmetal and its [[Gigantamax]] form may have been based on the {{wp|Cyclopes|Cyclops}}. Additionally, its Gigantamax form could be based on {{wp|Balor}}, described as a giant being with an eye that can destroy everything when opened.

====Name origin====
Melmetal may be a combination of ''melt'' and ''metal''.

'''Meltan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メルタン''' ''Meltan'') is a {{type|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]]. It first appeared in {{g|GO}} and later made its [[core series]] debut in {{LGPE}}.

In Pokémon GO, it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Melmetal}} when the player uses 400 Meltan {{GO|Candy}}. Meltan cannot evolve in the core series games.

Meltan's appearance was first teased during the September Pokémon GO [[Community Day]] on September 22, 2018, and it was officially revealed on September 25, 2018.

==Biology==
Meltan is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a silvery body of liquid metal. Its head is hard and resembles a golden {{wp|Nut (hardware)|hexagonal nut}}, with a small black sphere floating inside. This sphere serves as its eye. It has a red tail that resembles an electrical wire with two tiny protrusions at the end. According to official concept arts, Meltan's liquid body is made of {{wp|gallium}}, and it can cry gallium tears. Its arms can stretch to be longer or shorter.<ref name=Guide>''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!: Official Trainer's Guide & Pokédex]]'', p. 361</ref>

Meltan's body can corrode various metals, which it feeds on by absorbing them.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''" Given the Ditto's behavior, I believe Meltan is capable of assimilating metal by melting metal objects "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> The absorbed metals are circulated within Meltan's body to generate electricity, which it uses as an energy source. According to [[Professor Willow]], Meltan instinctively engages in this behavior when it encounters and absorbs metal.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ddxlXwEQ30 Meltan Research Update: Introducing Melmetal!]</ref>As a side effect, anything made of metal that Meltan absorbs will melt. Meltan can also use this electricity to attack by firing it from its eye.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon Let's Go site | New Pokémon]</ref> According to [[Professor Willow]], Meltan has been described in ancient texts in the same place the [[Mystery Box]] was found. The [[Mystery Box]] was created by {{p|Melmetal}}'s followers to store away the Meltan created after its death, until one day, they could create a new Melmetal.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"Maybe the people who glorified and worshiped {{p|Melmetal}} decided to keep it safe when the Pokémon somehow split itself apart. Doing so could have been thought of as the only way for the people to ever meet Melmetal again. "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> At the end of a Melmetal's life span, it'll rust and fall apart, however its shards will eventually be reborn as Meltan.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"With careful study of the Ditto that I sent him and the small amount of documented Meltan encounters, Professor Oak was able to solve more mysteries related to this Pokémon. Meltan very well may have split from a Pokémon named Melmetal, which has been recorded even less than Meltan."'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> It is known to live in groups, until the day comes where one strong Meltan absorbs the rest of the group to evolve. [[Professor Willow]] and [[Professor Oak]] theorize that Meltan's unique ability to evolve into Melmetal is due to its body resembling molten metal.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"Professor Oak and I have made a guess as to how Meltan can re-form back into Melmetal—because Meltan have bodies similar to molten metal, they have a unique ability to merge and trigger an Evolution into Melmetal!"'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref>

As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', the hexagonal nut on Meltan's body can be removed. It has also been seen working in packs. Meltan can spin its head, creating a sound that calls others of its kind. Its head-spinning can also be used as a sign of affection. In ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', it's revealed that it can be tamed if fed metal-like treats. In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', Meltan is shown multiplying in numbers overtime.

===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Melmetal|Ash's Meltan]]====
{{Ash}} encountered a Meltan that arrived on [[Melemele Island]] with its fellow Meltan in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]''. Ash eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it in [[SM112|the next episode]] after it befriended {{AP|Rowlet}}, who helped it recover its hex nut head. It later evolved into Melmetal in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'' by combining with its fellow Meltan shortly before the [[Manalo Conference]] finals.

====Meltan (recurring)====
Multiple Meltan have made a number of appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}. For a time being, they lived in the [[Ultra Guardians]]' base in the [[Pokémon School]], where they assisted [[Lusamine's Clefable]] in exchange for food and continued to multiply. They eventually combined with Ash's Meltan to evolve into Melmetal in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Meltan (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Meltan has several unique attributes:
** It is the only Pokémon capable of Evolution that cannot be evolved in the [[core series]] games. Because of this, it is not affected by [[Eviolite]].
*** As a result of not being able to be evolved in the core series games, Meltan is the only Pokémon that can be obtained in [[Poké Ball]]s that its evolved form cannot.
** It is the only Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Magnet Pull}} that cannot also have {{a|Sturdy}}.
** It is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that is capable of [[Evolution]].
* Meltan and its evolved form share several unique attributes:
** They are the only Pokémon in {{LGPE}} to not be introduced in [[Generation I]].
** They are the only Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! whose [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex number]] (152) is not the same as its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] (808). While [[Kanto]] [[Pokédex]] numbers are normally used throughout the game, the [[stats judge|judge]] screen displays National Pokédex numbers, which is evident for Meltan and Melmetal.
** They are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation VII]] that are not in the [[Alola]] Pokédex.
** They are the only Pokémon in the National Pokédex of Pokémon GO and {{g|HOME}} ([[Nintendo Switch]] only) to not be listed in a region section. Instead, they are put into "Unidentified" and "Unknown Origins", respectively.
** They are the only Mythical Pokémon that can be [[trade]]d or placed in a {{GO|Gym}} as a defender in Pokémon GO.
* Meltan is tied with {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Klefki}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, and tied with Land Forme {{p|Shaymin}} as the shortest Mythical Pokémon.
* Meltan has the lowest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
* Meltan is the first Mythical Pokémon caught by a {{Ash|main character}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In the animated series, {{an|Professor Oak}} is the person who gives Meltan its species name.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Meltan and its Evolution were created for Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! out of a "desire to build a bridge between players of the core Pokémon series and players of Pokémon GO", to make both groups happy.<ref name=Guide />
* In a 2018 GameSpot interview, Junichi Masuda mentioned that Meltan was designed by a [[Game Freak]] staff member "who was also a fan of the original games and played them as a kid", with setting directions from Masuda. The finished designs and assets were then given to [[Niantic]] in order to plan and launch the debut event.<ref name="GameSpot LGPE">[https://web.archive.org/web/20181020175530/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-lets-go-pikachu-eevee-update-pokemon-yellow-fo/1100-6462538/ GameSpot: How Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Update Pokemon Yellow For A New Generation]</ref>
** Two people were credited as "Pokémon Character Designers" in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!: [[Misaki Hashimoto]] and [[Hironobu Yoshida]]. However, Yoshida has worked on the Pokémon games since {{game|Yellow}}, implying that it was Hashimoto that designed Meltan.
* Meltan and {{p|Diancie}} are the only Pokémon in {{g|Sword and Shield}} unable to have the [[Origin mark|Galarian origin mark]].

===Origin===
Meltan is based on a hexagonal {{wp|Nut (hardware)|nut}},<ref name="GameSpot LGPE"/> and its tail resembles an exposed wire. Its lower body is based on {{wp|gallium}},<ref name=Guide /> a metallic element with a relatively low melting point of about 86 °F (30 °C). Gallium is used to make {{wp|semiconductor}}s, and can easily "attack" other metals, such as {{wp|aluminium|aluminum}} and {{wp|tin}}, to form {{wp|alloy}}s that are either very brittle or liquid at room temperature. These may be referenced with Meltan's liquid body, electric affinity, and ability to absorb metals.

Meltan may also be inspired by {{wp|Mercury (element)|mercury}}, a metallic element that is liquid at room temperature. Much like gallium, mercury can also conduct electricity, as well as react with many other metals to form alloys known as {{wp|Amalgam (chemistry)|amalgams}}.

====Name origin====
Meltan may be a combination of ''melt'', ''metal'', and たん ''-tan'' (diminutive Japanese suffix). It may also be derived from ''molten''.

'''Marshadow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マーシャドー''' ''Marshadow'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

Marshadow was officially revealed on April 7, 2017. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] before its expansion in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', it is associated with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==Biology==
{{incomplete|section|Image of Marshadow stretching out its arms in ''I Choose You!''}}
Marshadow is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears to be made of smoky gray shadows. The area around its face resembles headgear, such as a helmet. On top of the helmet are two curled horns or ears with a wispy horn between them. Its eyes are orange-red with yellow pupils, and above each eye is a yellow, oval marking. Each arm has a small bump on the wrist. Around its neck is a smoky collar, and there is a trail of shadows on each foot.

Very few people have ever seen Marshadow, having been left undiscovered for so long that its existence has been the stuff of [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]]. Marshadow is a cautious Pokémon and can sink into the shadows to ensure it is not noticed. While hiding in the shadows of others, it can understand their feelings and even copy their abilities. Through mimicry, it will eventually become more powerful than those it imitates. It can even learn the ultimate technique of martial arts masters it copies. In [[Lumiose City]], an online account called [[Hex Maniac (Trainer class)|Hex Maniac]] Channel discovered a Marshadow hiding in the shadow of [[Prism Tower]], but referred to it as a "ghostly child". As seen in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', Marshadow is also capable of causing nightmares. In the same movie, it is shown to be able to shapeshift and stretch out its arms like shadows. While corrupted by the [[Rainbow Feather]], it can even take control of countless Pokémon with the power of its shadows.

Marshadow is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Spectral Thief}}. It is also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}}.

===Forms===
When it is angered or attacking, Marshadow's fighting spirit will begin to burn,<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/marshadow/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Marshadow] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190216131710mp_/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/marshadow/ archived])</ref> and it will turn into '''Zenith Marshadow''' (Japanese: '''ぜんりょくのマーシャドー''' ''Full-Powered Marshadow'').<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2025/04/250425_to03.html 「Pokémon fit」シリーズに、アローラ地方のポケモンが新登場！| Pokémon.co.jp]</ref> In this state, its headgear, wrist bumps, and collar flare up and resemble green and yellow flames. Marshadow's eyes also flare up when in this state, but do not change in color.

Marshadow debuted in a major role in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was revealed to be a guide from the shadows who leads those chosen by {{an|Ho-Oh}} to be the Rainbow Hero.

===Minor appearances===
Marshadow made its animated series debut in ''[[SM057|The Dex Can't Help It!]]'', where {{Rotom}} wanted to record its data, but couldn't due to it not being inside its [[Rotom Pokédex|Pokédex]]. Another {{p|Rotom}} inhabiting the Pokédex managed to take a blurry picture of the Marshadow, but deleted it afterwards.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shiny Marshadow Comparison.png|thumb|250px|A normal Zenith Marshadow (left) and a Shiny Zenith Marshadow (right)]]
* Marshadow's {{Shiny}} coloration is distinct, only appearing during certain animations and attacks as Zenith Marshadow.
** In [[Generation VII]], without transforming, the difference between the two colorations in its normal state can be seen on the bulb of Marshadow's head, being either green leaning or purple leaning depending on the form.
** However, in {{g|HOME}}, Shiny Marshadow is always visually distinct, having slightly lighter colours than its regular counterpart. This can be most easily seen in its eyes.

</gallery>
* Marshadow's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of two {{stat|Attack}} and one {{stat|Speed}} is unique.
* Marshadow's Japanese name and its romanization were revealed on April 10, 2016 as a result of its trademark filing.{{fact}}
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Marshadow has a base [[experience]] yield of 120.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, {{p|Shiinotic}} is defined internally as a Mythical Pokémon instead of Marshadow. This is likely due to a typo between their internal names, with '''マシェード''' ''MASHEEDO'' (Shiinotic) being mistaken for '''マーシャドー''' ''MAASYADOO'' (Marshadow).<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1613414136079323137</ref> As neither Pokémon appear in the game, this has no effect on gameplay.
* Although Marshadow does not appear in Scarlet and Violet, [[Raifort]]'s hair pin resembles its face.

===Origin===
Marshadow may be based on the {{wp|shadowboxing}} exercise. It also shares traits with {{wp|Nightmarchers}} and {{wp|Menehune}} from {{wp|Hawaiian religion|Hawaiian mythology}}.

====Name origin====

Marshadow may be a combination of ''martial arts'', ''{{wp|nightmarchers|nightmarcher}}'', and ''shadow''.

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Hoopa has an alternate [[#Form data|form]], which it changes into by using the [[Prison Bottle]]. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become the dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Dark}} '''Hoopa Unbound'''. In Generation VI and [[Generation VII|VII]], Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined while in the player's [[party]] if three days have passed since changing to Hoopa Unbound. Other circumstances may also cause it to revert.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

Hoopa Confined was {{n|CoroCoro reveals Hoopa|leaked}} in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on January 10, 2015, and it was officially revealed on January 14, 2015. Hoopa Unbound was {{n|CoroCoro officially reveals Hoopa Unbound|leaked}} in the May 2015 issue of CoroCoro on April 13, 2015 and it was {{n|Hoopa Unbound officially revealed in English|officially revealed}} on April 14, 2015, introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

Hoopa plays a major role in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Hoopa Hole ORAS.png|thumb|left|A [[Mirage spot|ring-shaped portal]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
Hoopa Confined is a light-purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a vaguely humanoid appearance. It has green eyes with yellow sclerae, a yellow ring marking on its forehead, a small, pink dot under each eye, and dark pink hair tied into a short ponytail. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Its body has a dark pink, V-shaped marking on the chest and a small, golden spike on each shoulder. Its arms are not attached to its body and instead float next to it; each arm has a small golden spike similar to those on its shoulders. It has mitten-like hands and dark pink rings around each wrist. In place of actual legs, it has a wispy tail. Hoopa has three gold rings: a large one around its waist and one hanging freely on each of its horns.

In the past, Hoopa's true power is said to have been sealed away in the [[Prison Bottle]] for the destruction it used to cause, reducing Hoopa to its smaller, Confined form; opening the bottle grants Hoopa its true form once again, but for only three days.<ref>[[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]: ''"It seems like the [[Prison Bottle]] was used long ago to clamp down Hoopa's power so it wouldn't go rampaging over."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}}) [[Mega Dimension]]</ref><ref>[[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]: ''"The wild thing is, the [[Prison Bottle]] doesn't just seal Hoopa's powers-it can unseal'em too."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}}) [[Mega Dimension]]</ref> In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', the one who sealed {{an|Hoopa}}'s power in the Prison Bottle was a traveler named [[Ghris]]. Hoopa's rings can open {{M|Hyperspace Hole}}s, which warp space and allow it to transport objects, [[human]]s, and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, including even [[Legendary Pokémon]], by passing them through them. As seen in ''Hoopa and the Clash of Ages'', summoning too many Legendaries has the dangerous side effect of creating a space-time distortion that'll destroy the area where they were summoned. As seen in various media, these holes allow it to access other worlds such as the [[Distortion World]]/[[Reverse World]], {{P|Dialga}}'s world, {{P|Palkia}}'s world, [[Hyperspace Lumiose]], and even {{pkmn|multiverse|parallel timelines}}. With this power, it can cause mischief and take anything it wants for itself. Hoopa is connected to many strange events because of these mysterious powers. It is also said to have the power to bend dimensions. It is heavily implied to be the one causing many of the [[mirage spot]]s in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], specifically the ones featuring ring-shaped portals.

Hoopa is very fond of foods that have holes in them, especially [[Donut|donuts]].<ref name="ZAsite">(September 12, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> By consuming certain donuts, such as the [[Donut#Donut types|various types]] made by [[Ansha]], it is granted a great surge of power, enabling it to influence both humans and Pokémon in dimensions such as Hyperspace Lumiose.<ref>(November 6, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/new_allies THE POWER OF DONUTS] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> One of these influences is allowing Pokémon to be up to [[Level|Lv. 200]] in hyperspace. Despite not being able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], by eating a donut infused with the power of Mega Evolution, Hoopa can have some of the power of its original form awakened. This allows it to do feats seemingly beyond its Confined form's power and on par with Mega Evolved Pokémon.

Hoopa's lair is rumored to be located inside an hidden desert oasis.<ref>[[Backpacker (Trainer class)|Backpacker]]: ''"I hear that Hoopa's lair is in an oasis in the desert, but no one's been able to find the place!"'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> Its lair contains many objects and treasures Hoopa obtained over the years, claiming as its own. Hoopa's lair is believed to contain mountains of gold and silver treasures it stole from ancient kings and wealthy land barons.<ref>[[Backpacker (Trainer class)|Backpacker]]: ''"It's said that Hoopa's lair is overflowing with the objects and treasures it nabbed over the years, claiming them for its own. Ruumor has it that there are mountians of gold and sliver treasures that it took from ancient kings and waelthy land barons."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> To the present day, no one has ever found Hoopa's lair due to how well hidden it is. Hoopa stores all of its gathered loot in a secret spot only it knows, which appears to be its aforementioned lair. Hoopa can be very vengeful to those who attempt to manipulate it for its unique power. According to one tale, it punished an organization by transporting their individual objects before moving their headquarter to the middle of the desert. This incident terrified the organization to the point of disbanding.

Hoopa Confined is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}.

===Forms===
Hoopa has two forms: Hoopa Confined and Hoopa Unbound.
[[File:Hoopa Unbound Hidden Arms.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Hoopa Unbound's arms stored inside its body]]
Hoopa Unbound is a large, bipedal Pokémon with six arms. It is mostly light blue with purple hair. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier and held in place by two golden rings. Its hair now covers its chin, where it forms a pointed beard, and the back of its neck. The horns are less curved and have spiky purple hair around the bases. There are three gold rings on each horn: two around the base and one around the middle. It has yellow eyes white sclerae, a pointed, dark gray nose, a small hole inside of the ring-marking on its forehead, and prominent fangs in the back of its lower jaw. Similar to Hoopa Confined, its arms are disconnected and float next to its body. Instead of a small, gold spike the arms now have large, dark gray spikes and appear from holes along the sides of its body. Each arm has three fingers with dark gray claws, a gold ring around the wrist, and a gold ring around the base. Several tufts of purple hair surround its torso and a gold ring encircles a hole in the center of its chest. The hole in its chest is said to lead to another dimension. Another large gold ring encircles its waist and there are small tufts of hair poking out from underneath it. There is a purple stripe that widens at the knee down each leg and two gold rings around each ankle. The tips of its feet are gold and curl upward, resembling shoes. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and an arrow-shaped tip. Hoopa Unbound is tied with {{me|Gyarados}} as the tallest {{t|Dark}} type.

Hoopa Unbound is said to be Hoopa's true form and is said to have a humongous amount of power. Hoopa is at full power in its Unbound form, it can increase the size of its six rings to grow multiple miles in length. These massive rings are capable of transporting entire islands through its hoops.<ref>[[Backpacker (Trainer class)|Backpacker]]: ''"With such massive rings, apparently it can transport even entire islands!."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> Hoopa Unbound is capable of bending dimensions on an even more powerful scale.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160221061908/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/hoopa</ref> As depicted in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]],'' It can use its own rage to drive Legendary Pokémon berserk. One legend stated that it greedily teleported an entire castle from [[Kalos]] 3,000 years ago to obtain a treasure hidden within it. Hoopa can remain in its Unbound form for only three days, until its power is sealed back into the Prison Bottle, reverting itself to its Confined Form.

Hoopa Unbound is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning and using the move {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Hoopa appears as a special non-recruitable ally. He is the genie of the [[Djinn's Bottle]] found in [[Sahra Town]], and will "[[Connection Orb|connect]]" with the {{player}}'s team upon finding it for the first time. If the player has the Djinn's Bottle in their bag, they may summon him during an expedition in one of his two forms, chosen at random, and may also request he use his rings to randomly summon either a connected {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] as an ally for that floor only, a group of wild Pokémon that can appear on that floor, or nothing at all.
* [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]: [[Ansha#Befriended|Hoopa]] is a major character in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. It is a friend of [[Ansha]] and helps both her and [[Team MZ]] enter [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] through its {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}s to grant Ansha her dream of finding the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}}.

===Form data===
Hoopa has two forms it can change between using the [[Prison Bottle]]: Hoopa Confined and Hoopa Unbound

Hoopa Confined is Hoopa's default form, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type. When exposed to a Prison Bottle, Hoopa Confined transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}-type. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle. Hoopa also changes back to Hoopa Confined when deposited in a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] ([[Generation VI]]), when withdrawn from a Box ([[Generation VII]]), when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]], or when exposed to the Prison Bottle again.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]]. Additionally, the move {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} is usable only by Hoopa Unbound (or a Pokémon that has transformed into Hoopa Unbound with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}), and will fail if Hoopa Confined (or any other Pokémon) attempts to use it. In [[Generation IX]], when Hoopa becomes Hoopa Unbound, {{m|Hyperspace Hole}} is replaced with Hyperspace Fury and vice versa.

==Trivia==
* Hoopa Unbound has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Hoopa Unbound is tied with {{me|Gyarados}} for being the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
** It is also the tallest [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Hoopa is the only [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to have different [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] between {{g|X and Y}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Hoopa Unbound is the only Pokémon with a {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|base stat total of 680}} that is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the "mysterious rings" in [[mirage spot]]s, from which Pokémon jump out when interacted with, resemble rings used by Hoopa.
* Hoopa is the only Pokémon from Generation VI that has yet to be legitimately available {{Shiny}} in a later Pokémon game.

===Origin===
Hoopa Confined may have been inspired by common depictions of {{wp|jinn|djinn}}. The rings around its wrists could have been inspired by the djinn in the story of {{wp|Aladdin}}.

Hoopa Unbound could be specifically inspired by {{wp|Ifrit}}, powerful djinn or {{wp|demon}}s, which are often depicted as malicious, or {{wp|Marid}}, evil djinn or {{wp|devil}}s, which according to some stories do the exact opposite of what they are commanded to do. Its six arms may be drawn from certain {{wp|Hindu deities}}, who were often depicted with multiple arms. It may also be based on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}} in {{wp|Greek mythology}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons, the circle motif thus may be inspired by {{wp|magic circle|summoning circles}}.

Hoopa's relationship with the [[Prison Bottle]] is similar to the djinn's with its lamp in traditional Arabian stories, since its full power is sealed within its respective vessel. Hoopa only being able to maintain its Unbound state for three days parallels the limit to the number of wishes a djinn can grant to its current master.

Both forms of Hoopa could also be partly based on the legend of {{wp|Nezha}}, a deity worshiped in {{wp|Taoism}} and {{wp|Chinese folk religion}} and commonly referred to as a childish trickster deity and a worldly protector. Very much like Hoopa Unbound, Nezha is depicted holding rings and is sometimes depicted with multiple arms.

Hoopa's power may have been inspired by the Single Horned Rhinoceros King, a character in the classic Chinese novel ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}'' who wielded a golden jade ring that had the power to suck in anything. The true form of the Single Horned Rhinoceros King is also revealed to be a heavenly azure bull, which may be referenced by Hoopa's bull-like horns.

====Name origin====
Hoopa may be derived from ''hoop''. It may also involve ''hoopla'' (something loud, attention-grabbing, and possibly misleading); or ''OOPArt'' ({{wp|out-of-place artifact}}).

'''Genesect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲノセクト''' ''Genesect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Genesect has four other [[#Form data|forms]], which are activated by inserting a [[Drive]] in the cannon on its back. The Drive's light is visibly different depending on which one Genesect is [[Held item|holding]], and it also changes the [[type]] of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.
* When it is not holding any Drive (referred to in {{g|GO}} as its '''Normal''' form), the light is orange and Techno Blast is {{type|Normal}}.
* When it is holding the [[Douse Drive]], the light turns blue and Techno Blast is {{type|Water}}.
* When it is holding the [[Shock Drive]], the light turns yellow and Techno Blast is {{type|Electric}}.
* When it is holding the [[Burn Drive]], the light turns red and Techno Blast is {{type|Fire}}.
* When it is holding the [[Chill Drive]], the light turns white and Techno Blast is {{type|Ice}}.

Genesect was {{n|CoroCoro August issue reveals 'Genesect'|leaked}} in the August issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012. It is the last Pokémon in both versions of the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:Genesect Douse Drive High-speed.png|thumb|left|170px|{{form|Genesect|Douse Drive}} Genesect in its high-speed flight configuration]]
Genesect is a bipedal, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily purple with several gray markings. It has two large red eyes that are capable of glowing, and a small white part that could be either its mouth or a vent. It has thin arms with overlapping segments. Each arm ends with a single, pointed claw from which it can spin a sticky string to create structures. The claws are made of sharp steel. There is a gray circle on each shoulder and a gray band around its abdomen. Its segmented legs each end with a large, upward-curving claw.
[[File:Genesect silk.png|thumb|250px|Genesect producing a silk-like substance from its claw]]
Genesect is an [[artificial Pokémon]] that was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technologically enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] had the project canceled and the [[P2 Laboratory]] closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, {{tc|Scientist}} Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back. According to a {{tc|Hiker}} in [[Ambrette Town]]'s Fossil Lab, there is a rumor that Genesect can be found in [[Glittering Cave]].

By folding up its limbs and connecting its head to the cannon on its back, Genesect assumes a disk-like form known as the '''high-speed flight configuration''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|高|こう}}{{ruby|速|そく}}{{ruby|飛|ひ}}{{ruby|行|こう}}{{ruby|形|けい}}{{ruby|態|たい}}''' ''Kōsoku Hikō Keitai'', "high-speed flight configuration"),<ref>[[Top Secret Internal Team Plasma Genesect Video]]</ref> allowing it to fly at remarkable speeds. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', Genesect can breathe in outer space. In the movie, it can also produce a sticky silk-like substance that rapidly hardens into brownish stone-like substance. It uses that material to create its nest. The movie also shows that one Genesect may lead the others of its group, being even capable of controlling them to follow its orders. Genesect is known to be completely devoid of mercy towards its enemies. As depicted in [[Pokémon Adventures]], Genesect is capable of cutting down an entire building in half effortlessly.

Genesect is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Forms===
Genesect has four alternate forms determined by the [[Drive]] it holds: Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive.

The four Drives each contain different elements: water energy, electric energy, fire energy, and ice energy. When either of the Drives is attached to Gensect's cannon, it grants it different elemental powers for its {{M|Techno Blast|light beam}} attacks launched by its cannon. The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were added as part of the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. Gensect's cannon can fire off projectile energy blasts. Even before Team Plasma modified Genesect, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. Genesect was said to have lived in the Paleozoic era before going extinct.

===Form data===
Genesect has five interchangeable forms. Its form changes to match the [[Drive]] it [[held item|hold]]s, which also changes the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a [[Douse Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.
*If a [[Shock Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a [[Burn Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a [[Chill Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have a cyan Drive.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Genesect's alternate forms were not registered in the [[Pokédex]]. All of Genesect's forms originally used the form name "Genesect" in the Pokédex; in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], this was changed, with its default form lacking a form name while its other forms are named "Douse Drive", "Shock Drive", "Burn Drive", and "Chill Drive". These are also the names used for its alternate forms in [[Pokémon GO]], but its default form also has a name in that game, being called "Normal". The Pokémon GO Pokédex lists the drive forms in the order Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive, unlike the core series games where Douse Drive is listed before the others.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Genesect can select a Drive upon being selected as a team member.

====[[Genesect Army]]====
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, first appeared in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', where {{an|N}} found the ruins of a building and learned the Genesect Army was responsible for the destruction by using his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

The Genesect Army played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. They went on a rampage in [[New Tork City]] while attempting to search for [[Genesect's home|their ancient habitat]], thus bringing them into conflict with {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}.

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Genesect Army}}
The Genesect Army plays a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. Likewise, the group appears in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Momota Inoue]].

===Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~===
Genesect was a Pokémon created by [[Dr. Zeno]]. After it saved Dr. Zeno from being trapped in his lab, he decided to give it to [[Arata]] in order to bring out its full potential.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Blake's Genesect}}
A {{Shiny}} Genesect debuted as a silhouette at [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', where the [[Shadow Triad]] was seen testing its power. It reappeared at the {{un|Pokémon League}}, where it helped [[Colress|Hood Man]] escape. Later, in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed to be under the ownership of [[Colress]].

In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with another Genesect, where it came into contact with {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}}, the former of whom ultimately captured Genesect. Although Blake had initially reported Genesect to the [[International Police]], he was seen in possession of it in ''[[PS536|Cold Storage Battle]]'', riding it through the [[Relic Passage]]. In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', it was revealed that Blake had taken Genesect for his own use without permission, despite it having been under strict supervision, which was one of the reasons why he had been subsequently fired from the International Police.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Genesect_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Genesect trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Genesect appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. In the 3DS version of the game, it is unlocked after playing Endless Smash at least once. It jumps around the stage, repeatedly firing four {{m|Techno Blast}} attacks, followed up by a wide beam. Both shots can go through walls.

Genesect also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, Genesect was created from a 300-million-year-old fossil and later altered to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. It will follow up this attack with a long-range laser.''

'''PAL''': ''A Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon revived from a 300-million-year-old fossil, then modified to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. After using this attack mid-jump, it attacks its target with a long-range laser that passes through obstacles.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Genesect returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Genesect also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} when holding an [[Insect Plate]].
* Excluding [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon, Genesect has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s: both were created by a [[villainous team]] in at least one [[canon]], and they were genetically engineered to be more powerful than the Pokémon they were based on.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon whose [[Pokédex entry]] names a villainous team, in this case, [[Team Plasma]].
* Despite {{m|Techno Blast}} being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive {{STAB}} from it unless its type is changed.
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion ([[File:SetSymbolPlasma Blast.png|30px]]) resembles Genesect's head seen from above.
* There is some inconsistency in Genesect's Pokédex entries regarding whether or not Team Plasma ''upgraded'' the cannon on its back to be at least able to house the Drives, or if they ''attached'' the cannon, the latter of which implies Genesect's original appearance did not have said cannon.

===Origin===
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300,000,000 years, making it as old as the {{wp|cockroach}}. Its Steel-type features that give it a somewhat robotic appearance may be a reference to alien robots or cyborgs in {{wp|science fiction}} media, but this may be due to Team Plasma's modifications. Its design might also be inspired by the "artillery mech" vehicles in various {{wp|mecha anime and manga}} while also resembling the enlarged pronona of {{wp|treehopper}}s (family Membracidae). They also share a similar head shape with many treehoppers.

====Name origin====
Genesect may be a combination of ''{{wp|gene}}'', ''{{wp|genetics}}'', ''{{wp|genome}}'', or ''{{wp|genesis}}''; and ''{{wp|insect}}''.

'''Meloetta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メロエッタ''' ''Meloetta'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Meloetta has two [[#Form data|forms]]: its default form, '''Aria Forme''', and a second form, the {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type '''Pirouette Forme'''. Meloetta changes forms when it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}} during a {{pkmn|battle}} and reverts to Aria Forme when [[Recall|switched out]] or when the battle ends.

Meloetta was leaked on a poster for the fifteenth [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', on February 26, 2012, and was officially revealed by [[Oha Suta]] on March 1, 2012.

In {{aniseries|BW}}, it is associated with the [[forces of nature]].

==Biology==
Meloetta is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a femininely anthropomorphic figure with {{wp|Bar (music)|musical bar}}-style streaks in its hair, {{wp|quarter note}}s (crotchets) (♩) for its arms and hands and pupil-less eyes resembling {{wp|whole note}}s (semibreves). It has a jewel on its forehead and a black headpiece that seems to be shaped like a {{wp|clef|treble clef}}, which doubles as an attached microphone such as one often used by singers. Its ovular head seems to be a third of its body's height and about half its height in width. In its Aria Forme, Meloetta has light blue eyes and flowing, wavy hair with light-blue ovals that resemble whole notes. Its midriff and eyes match the Aria Forme's hair. It is a [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] species.

In its Aria Forme, Meloetta can sing beautiful songs. According to artists in [[Unova]], Meloetta's beautiful music and dance inspired many works of art, music, and songs. This made the Pokémon popular among both musicians and dancers. Meloetta's melody has a special vocalization method. Meloetta's melody can control the feelings of those who hear it. It can make both humans and Pokémon feel happy or sad through this method. The song can also [[BW096|unseal ancient ruins]] such as the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. At one point, Meloetta can lose its signature melody and ability to dance should the world be filled with sorrow. Like many other {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], Meloetta is capable of flying and temporarily turning invisible. Meloetta's song can be channeled to [[BW097|summon and control]] the original three [[forces of nature]] Pokémon in connection with the [[Reveal Glass]]. However, this process can cause Meloetta agonizing pain in the process.

Meloetta is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Relic Song}}, which allows it to change forms.

===Forms===
Meloetta has two forms it can change between: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme.

In its Pirouette Forme, it has {{wp|red hair|auburn hair}} that seems to be stylized in a high bun and red eyes. Its midriff and eyes match its hair. It also assumes a constant dance pose.

Pirouette Forme Meloetta can perform graceful dances instead of singing. This form of Meloetta can captivate anyone who watches its enchanting dance steps. Pirouette Forme Meloetta can change back to Aria Forme by using its singing voice or when the battle ends.

===Form data===
Meloetta has two interchangeable forms: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. The two forms have different [[type]]s, with Aria Forme being {{2t|Normal|Psychic}} and Pirouette Forme being {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}. Their [[base stats]] also differ, with Pirouette Forme having higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} but lower {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than Aria Forme.

Meloetta starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Aria Forme. If it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}}, it changes form, either from Aria Forme to Pirouette Forme or vice versa. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn. Outside of battle, Meloetta will always be in its Aria Forme.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}} and {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, if Meloetta has Relic Song learned, it will be able to select its Pirouette Forme upon entering a dungeon as opposed to its Aria Forme. Changing Formes modifies its type and applies a hidden +2 [[Stat (Mystery Dungeon)|stat]] stage modifier to its dominant attacking stat and a -2 modifier to its lesser attacking stat.

It stayed with the group for most of their stay in [[Undella Town]], during which it was targeted by [[Team Rocket]] for their Operation Tempest, due to its connection with the [[Abyssal Ruins]] and the [[Reveal Glass]].

====Minor appearances====
A Meloetta appeared in its Aria Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Meloetta debuted in ''[[PS500|With a Little Help from My Friends]]'', where it was attracted to the flute music made by {{adv|Bianca}} in [[Anville Town]]. After sneaking aboard the [[Battle Subway]] train, Meloetta found its way to {{DL|Castelia City|Café Sonata}}, only to be attacked by a group of wild {{p|Vullaby}}. After finding out what happened, {{adv|White}} protected Meloetta while Bianca decided to take a guitar and play with Meloetta in place of the {{tc|Guitarist}} who was injured in the chaos.

With her skills in music, Bianca helped Meloetta remember the {{m|Relic Song}} that it had long since forgotten. Meloetta used the attack to transform into its Pirouette Forme and defeat the wild Vullaby group. Afterward, it said its goodbyes to White and Bianca and left.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Meloetta in its Aria Forme appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon in the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game. In the games, it uses {{m|Echoed Voice}}, taking the form of orbs that bounce around the stage and reflect off of terrain. In the 3DS version, it will appear only after playing for at least eight hours while in the Wii U version, players must beat the 1P version of {{sbw|All-Star Mode}} as [[Lucario (Super Smash Bros.)|Lucario]] on Normal or Hard difficulty

[[File:Meloetta 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Meloetta trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Meloetta also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon, Meloetta can change its Forme by using Relic Song. In Smash Bros., Meloetta appears in its Aria Forme, using an attack called Echoed Voice to send waves of sound bouncing around the stage. The more walls and platforms, the harder this is to avoid. ''

'''PAL''': ''This Normal- and Psychic-type Pokémon has the ability to change Forme mid-battle by using Relic Song. Appearing this game in its Aria Forme, it uses Echoed Voice to send echoes shooting up and down the stage, reflecting off walls and platforms. The more obstacles there are on a stage, the harder it is to avoid! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Meloetta returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It attacks by singing notes that hurt opponents if they are touched by them. Meloetta also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} in Aria Forme.

==Trivia==
* Meloetta was leaked on a poster for ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' during the release of {{B2W2}}.
* The [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yields]] of each of Meloetta's [[#Form data|forms]]—1 Special Attack, 1 Special Defense, and 1 Speed in Aria Forme and 1 Attack, 1 Defense, and 1 Speed in Pirouette Forme—are both unique.
** Meloetta is also the only Pokémon to have more than one unique effort value yield.
* Meloetta is programmed to always hold a [[Star Piece]] when encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}. However, Meloetta cannot be found in the wild in those games.

===Origin===
Meloetta may be based on a {{wp|Muses|muse}}, a goddess in {{wp|Greek mythology}} with the ability to inspire artistic creation. Meloetta may also be seen as a personification of music since its design has multiple references to {{wp|musical notation}}: its headpiece resembles a stylized {{wp|clef|treble clef}}, its fingerless hands and slim arms are shaped after {{wp|musical note}}s, and its hair resembles {{wp|Staff (music)|staff lines}} with {{wp|Bar (music)|bar lines}}.

Meloetta's Aria Forme resembles a typical singer, with the black headpiece resembling a headset microphone.

Meloetta's Pirouette Forme resembles a ballerina wearing a tutu, with its "hair" curled up in a bun, or possibly the headdress worn by {{wp|Nefertiti}} in her namesake {{wp|Nefertiti Bust|sculpture}}. This form may also take inspiration from Spanish {{wp|Flamenco}} dancers.

Its transformation between forms, particularly in {{aniseries|PTS}}, is reminiscent of a {{wp|magical girl}} [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TransformationSequence transformation sequence].

The guitarist who teaches Meloetta {{m|Relic Song}} in the [[Generation V]] games mentions that it lost its red shoes at the same time that sorrow darkened the world and it lost the song it had danced to. This may be a reference to the {{wp|Hans Christian Andersen}} fairy tale ''{{wp|The Red Shoes (fairy tale)|The Red Shoes}}''.

====Name origin====
Meloetta may be a combination of ''{{wp|melody}}'', ''{{wp|pirouette}}'' (a type of movement in ballet), ''[[wp:Operetta|operetta]]'', ''[[wp:Aria|arietta]]'', and the Italian feminine diminutive suffix ''-etta''.

{{wp|Aria}} is a term now used almost exclusively to describe a self-contained piece for one voice usually with {{wp|orchestral accompaniment}}, and is commonly used in {{wp|opera}}.

A {{wp|pirouette}} (French for ''to whirl'') is a controlled turn on one leg, starting with one or both legs in plié and rising onto demi-pointe (usually for men) or pointe (usually for women).

'''Keldeo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケルディオ''' ''Keldeo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} [[ Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, Keldeo has a second [[#Form data|form]]. When it knows the move {{m|Secret Sword}}, it changes from its original form, '''Ordinary Form''', to its '''Resolute Form'''.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Keldeo was {{n|Keldeo to be revealed in upcoming CoroCoro|leaked}} in the March 2012 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on February 13, 2012, and it was [https://web.archive.org/web/20120220192756/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2012/02/120215_g01.html?a001=news officially revealed] on February 15, 2012. Keldeo's Resolute Form was officially revealed in the July 2012 issue of CoroCoro on June 13, 2012, and introduced in {{B2W2}}.

Along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}, Keldeo is a member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', they are also associated with {{p|Kyurem}}.

==Biology==
Keldeo is a quadrupedal, colt-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream-colored body. It has a short, rounded snout with large nostrils and blue eyes. It has a large, feathery red mane, long, dark blue, ridged eyebrow-like protrusions, and a single cream-colored horn that curves slightly. The back of its head, as well as its neck, is covered with fluffy, light blue fur. Keldeo has blue hooves placed backwards, which are capable of ejecting water. Its tail is light blue with white spots and resembles an elaborate feather in a cap.

Long ago, a fire started in the [[Moor of Icirrus]] because of a war between the [[human]]s. In this fire, Keldeo was separated from its parents, but the three [[Swords of Justice]]: {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} adopted and took care of Keldeo as one of their own. They acted as its parents, and they taught it knowledge and techniques for survival. Keldeo eventually grew and even surpassed its mentors. One day, Keldeo took off from the forest with no one knowing why. When the four met again in the Moor of Icirrus, they taught Keldeo the move {{m|Secret Sword}}. When Keldeo left, it started crossing the {{pkmn|world}} and often appeared at beautiful watersides. Keldeo possesses remarkable speed and travels in order to further improve itself through training. Like {{p|Suicune}}, Keldeo can also walk across the water by ejecting water from its hooves. Its movement on the water's surface is said to be similar to skating and gliding. Keldeo is skillful at using kicking moves during battle.

In [[Generation V]], {{m|Sacred Sword}} was one of its [[signature move]]s. Keldeo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Secret Sword}}.

===Forms===
Keldeo has two forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form.

The dark blue protrusions on its head become shorter and lighter in color, now resembling ears. Its horn becomes dark blue and grows larger and ridged. On the side of its head are three feathers colored aqua blue, green, and orange. Resolute Form Keldeo's magnificent horn is a testament to its growing strength, while the plume of feathers symbolizes the guidance and hopes of its allies.

Upon being taught the move {{m|Secret Sword}} by its [[Swords of Justice|former mentors]], Keldeo has its resolve for battle strengthened, filling its body with power, thus transforming from its Ordinary Form into its Resolute Form. Keldeo is at its full power when in Resolute Form. It is thought that when Keldeo becomes resolute, its body fills with power and its agility increases further. Keldeo's jumping capabilities become fast to the point where it is hard to follow. The horn on its forehead is filled with hidden power, and can manifest a {{m|Secret Sword|sword}} that can cut through anything. It is said Keldeo must endure harsh battles in order for the forehead horn to develop, which then awakens this true power.

===NPC appearance===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]: {{mdc|Keldeo|gti}} is an important character in the storyline. He was once a friend of {{mdc|Virizion|gti}}, and a [[Magnagate]] savant. He was imprisoned in [[Glacier Palace]], and there he wrote a letter to Virizion, telling her that they weren't friends anymore. This letter caused Virizion to stop believing in friends. After being rescued by {{mdc|Umbreon and Espeon|gti}}, he apologizes to Virizion for writing the letter. He joins the player's team after the player returns to the human world.

Resolute Form Keldeo cannot be [[Released Pokémon#Pokémon GO|transferred]], [[Trade (GO)|traded]], or transferred to {{g|HOME}} via the [[GO Transporter]].
|}

===Form data===
Keldeo has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in {{B2W2}}.

If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}}, it will change into its Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to its Ordinary Form. Keldeo knowing Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in its Ordinary Form when [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red to later games, though in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, an Ordinary Form Keldeo that knows Secret Sword will change to Resolute Form if it is in the [[party]] at the end of a {{pkmn|battle}}, or upon learning or forgetting any [[move]] other than Secret Sword.

In addition, Resolute Form Keldeo knowing Secret Sword in {{B2W2}} cannot be traded to Pokémon Black and White as there is no data for the form in those games. In order to be transferred to Pokémon Black and White, Keldeo must forget Secret Sword.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Keldeo can select its Resolute Form at the start of a dungeon if it knows Secret Sword.

Keldeo also appears in Resolute Form as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Water/Fighting-type Pokémon is a lot like a multicolored unicorn. In its Resolute Form, its horn will grow longer and its vision is keener. It is this Form that appears on the battlefields of Smash Bros. Be wary of its Secret Sword attack—Keldeo's charge will send anyone hit flying. ''

'''PAL''': ''The Mythical Pokémon Keldeo looks a lot like a multicoloured unicorn. In its Resolute Form, its horn grows longer and its vision improves. It can also use Secret Sword in that Form, and that's what it will do in this game. If Keldeo starts charging after you, watch out - that huge horn will send you flying!''

Keldeo returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Keldeo also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} in both its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Keldeo|Ordinary and Resolute Forms}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|220px|Keldeo in its Ordinary Form]]
* As the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]], Keldeo shares several traits with them, but is somewhat different in a number of ways:
** Unlike the others, Keldeo can't learn {{m|Quick Attack}}. Instead, it can learn {{m|Aqua Jet}}, a [[move variations|variation]] of Quick Attack.
** The moves that Keldeo learns by level have higher base powers than the moves learned by the other Swords of Justice.
** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Keldeo learned {{m|Sacred Sword}} at a higher level than the others.
** Its legs seem to be stylized after animal legs and hooves, unlike the others, which seem to have boots.
** Keldeo isn't listed near the other three in [[National Pokédex]] order.
** Keldeo's name doesn't end with -ion.
** Keldeo is a Mythical Pokémon, and not a Legendary.
** Keldeo does not have a [[Paradox Pokémon]] counterpart.
* Keldeo, along with {{p|Meloetta}}, are the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] to learn their [[signature move]]s from an external source.
* Keldeo shares its trait of running across water with {{p|Suicune}}, another quadrupedal {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Keldeo is the lightest and smallest of the Swords of Justice.
* Keldeo's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Terrakion}}'s, while their other stats are identical.

===Origin===
Keldeo is most likely based on the {{wp|Scotland|Scottish}} legend of the {{wp|kelpie}}, a supernatural water horse that sometimes appeared as a lost pony. This is evidenced by the fact that Keldeo appears in the [[Crown Tundra]], an area based on Scotland. Keldeo is also likely based on the {{wp|Qilin|kirin}}, also referred to as the "Chinese {{wp|unicorn}}", which are often depicted with a single backward curving horn and the ability to walk on water.

Story-wise, as the rest of the [[Swords of Justice]] draw inspiration from the main characters of ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', Keldeo may draw inspiration from the character of {{wp|d'Artagnan}} from the novel. Like d'Artagnan, Keldeo is the latest and youngest addition to the group. Keldeo's tail also resembles d'Artagnan's trademark feathered cap.

The three feathers on Resolute Form Keldeo's head symbolize its three companions and teachers: blue for {{p|Cobalion}}, yellow for {{p|Terrakion}}, and green for {{p|Virizion}}.

====Name origin====
Keldeo may be a combination of ''{{wp|kelpie}}'' (a water horse from Celtic folklore), 蹴る ''keru'' (to kick), ''kelda'' ({{wp|Old Norse}} for well or spring), and ''{{wp|rodeo}}'' (a sport involving skills with horses, cows, and other livestock). It may also involve ''dio'' (Italian for god).

'''Virizion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリジオン''' ''Virizion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Leaves}} is said to be either a future relative of Virizion or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Keldeo}}, Virizion is a member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', they are also associated with {{p|Kyurem}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Virizion Sacred Sword Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|Virizion creating a blade while using {{m|Sacred Sword}}]]
Virizion is a stag or {{wp|antelope}}-like, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily green. On the sides of its head are long horns that end in dull, curled points. It has a pointed snout with a black blaze running from its nose to the back of its head. Its face, hind legs, and underside are white. There is a pinked-tipped leaf on each side of its neck, and leafy tufts on its shoulders. On its back, there are pointed tufts of fur forming a medium-long tail. Its lower legs resemble knee-high boots with pink highlights at the knees, and it has black hooves.

According to legend, Virizion, alongside the other [[Swords of Justice]] had challenged the [[human]]s in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to humanity's expansion. During the battle, Virizion used its speed to shield the other Pokémon from sparks and embers. The three Swords distrust humans because of a war that resulted in a forest fire in [[Moor of Icirrus]]. Virizion attacks its opponents by first darting around them with whirlwind-like speed, before using its sharp, sword-like horns to swiftly cut them down. In ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', Virizion is depicted as the most intelligent member of the Swords of Justice. As seen in both [[Pokémon the Series]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]], it can create an {{m|Sacred Sword|energy blade}} out of its head. Virizion loves [[Virizion Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and talked to it in the past. {{p|Iron Leaves}} shares a resemblance to Virizion and is believed to be a futuristic Virizion.

In [[Generation V]], {{m|Sacred Sword}} was its [[signature move]].{{left clear}}

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]: {{mdc|Virizion|gti}} is a very popular Pokémon among the [[Post Town]] inhabitants, even though she has turned them all down at some point. The {{player}} first meets her after rescuing {{mdc|Dunsparce|gti}}. Dunsparce had gotten lost looking for a crystal to give to Virizion as a gift, because he wanted to be her friend. Virizion turns him down, saying she doesn't have friends. This hurts Dunsparce's feelings, causing him to run away. After rescuing Dunsparce again, she asks to join the team. The player's partner immediately accepts, much to {{mdc|Emolga|gti}}'s chagrin. Virizion proves to be a calm and collected addition to the team, rarely outwardly expressing her emotions, but she changes as more and more is revealed about her past with her last friend, {{mdc|Keldeo|gti}}. She later admits that she likes Emolga.

===Pokémon RéBURST===
Virizion, along with Cobalion and Terrakion, were captured by [[Great Gavel]]. Later, it was sealed into a Burst Heart and became the [[Burst]] form of [[Rovy]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Virizion appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} alongside {{p|Terrakion}} and {{p|Cobalion}}.

==Trivia==
* Virizion is the only member of the [[Swords of Justice]] that:
** Is not weak to the types of any of the other members.
** Has a type advantage over all of the other members.
** Has a double weakness.
* Virizion was the first [[Legendary Pokemon]] to be a {{Type|Grass}}.
* Virizion's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Cobalion}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Virizion, Cobalion, and Terrakion were all designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Virizion is based on the character of {{wp|Aramis}} from the novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}''.<ref name=ND204 /> Like Aramis, it is the best at swordplay. Aramis in the novels was also the most feminine, vain, and romantic — qualities that Virizion possesses relative to its comrades. The shape of its head overall resembles a {{wp|tricorne}} hat, commonly worn by Spanish and French musketeers in the 17th and 18th centuries. It physically resembles {{wp|antelope}}s, such as the {{wp|gerenuk}} or other species of {{wp|gazelle}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Deer|stag}}. Like its comrades, its nose resembles that of a sheep or a goat.

Virizion's Grass typing may reference Aramis's real name of "René d'Herblay", which contains ''herb''.

====Name origin====
Virizion may be a combination of ''{{wp|viridian}}'' (a bluish-green color) or ''viridis'' (Latin for green) and ''champion''.

'''Terrakion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラキオン''' ''Terrakion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Boulder}} is said to be either a future relative of Terrakion or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Keldeo}}, Terrakion is a member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', they are also associated with {{p|Kyurem}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Terrakion Sacred Sword Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|Terrakion creating a blade while using {{m|Sacred Sword}}]]
Terrakion is a bovine, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a black, rounded forehead adorned with two brown, axe-like horns that curve forward. Its face is beige with orange eyes and a short snout. On top of its head are several short spikes. Down its back are two brown ridges that join just past its humped shoulders. There are two orange protrusions on its shoulders. The bands around its legs are the same color as its face, and it has black hooves underneath these bands. Its striped underside is also beige. It has a short, stubby tail.

According to legend, Terrakion, alongside the other [[Swords of Justice]] had challenged the [[human]]s in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to humanity's expansion. During the battle, Terrakion shaped the earth and created a passage to escape. The three Swords distrust humans because of a war that resulted in a forest fire in [[Moor of Icirrus]]. It is said to possess phenomenal strength and can destroy a castle wall with a single blow. Should a small Pokémon be bullied by anyone or anything, Terrakion will crush them without mercy. As seen in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', like other [[Legendary Pokémon]], Terrakion can be found in the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. As seen in both [[Pokémon the Series]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]], it can create an {{m|Sacred Sword|energy blade}} out of its head. Terrakion loves [[Terrakion Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once sat and enjoyed some snacks with it in the past. {{p|Iron Boulder}} shares a resemblance to Terrakion and is believed to be a futuristic Terrakion that was modified by a [[Villainous team|villainous organization]].

In [[Generation V]], {{m|Sacred Sword}} was its [[signature move]].{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* Terrakion was the only member of the [[Swords of Justice]] to ever have a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Terrakion is similar to {{p|Moltres}} in three ways: it is a member of a non-mascot [[Legendary trio]], is found in its region's [[Victory Road]] in the first games that feature its region, and is found in a different location in all subsequent games.
* Terrakion takes supereffective damage from {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Fighting}}; the collective types of the other members of its quartet.
* Terrakion's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Keldeo}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion were all designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Terrakion is based on the character of {{wp|Porthos}} from the novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}''.<ref name=ND204 /> Like Porthos, Terrakion is the heaviest, largest, and strongest member of the trio. It also has traits of {{wp|bighorn sheep}} and {{wp|ox}}en, with the charging behavior of {{wp|bull}}s. Like the other members of its trio, its nose resembles that of a {{wp|sheep}}, {{wp|goat}}, or other hooved animal. Its horns are modeled after axes.<ref name=ND204 />

Terrakion's Rock typing may reference Porthos's surname of "du Vallon de Bracieux de Pierrefonds", which contains ''pierre'', French for stone.

====Name origin====
Terrakion may be a combination of ''terra'' (Latin for earth) or ''{{wp|terracotta}}'' (a {{wp|clay}}-based material, as well as its respective color), ''{{wp|takin}}'', and ''champion''.

'''Cobalion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コバルオン''' ''Cobalon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Crown}} is said to be either a future relative of Cobalion or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Along with {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Keldeo}}, Cobalion is a member of the [[Swords of Justice]] and is typically considered the group's [[Legendary leader|leader]]. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', they are also associated with {{p|Kyurem}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Cobalion Sacred Sword Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Cobalion creating a blade while using {{m|Sacred Sword}}]]
Cobalion is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that possesses traits of stags and goats. It is covered in aqua blue fur and has jagged yellow horns similar in shape to thunderbolts. Its snout is a lighter shade of blue than the rest of its fur, and there is a black blaze running from its nose to the back of its head. On its long neck and hind legs, there are small gray spots. It has a white tuft of fur under its neck, resembling a cravat. On its shoulder blades are yellow protrusions that resemble fins. Its tail resembles these protrusions, albeit in the same color as its snout. Cobalion's legs have black bands with lighter fur underneath and large black hooves. Cobalion's body is said to be made of steel.

Cobalion is said to have a heart of steel. According to legend, Cobalion, alongside the other [[Swords of Justice]] had challenged the [[human]]s in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to humanity's expansion. During the battle, Cobalion ushered the other Pokémon to safety. The three Swords distrust humans because of a war that resulted in a forest fire in [[Moor of Icirrus]]. Its glare can make even an unruly Pokémon obey it. Cobalion is said to have possessed the air of a leader since its birth, and is capable of calming even the most vicious of foes. As seen in both {{aniseries|PTS}} and [[Pokémon Adventures]], it can create an {{m|Sacred Sword|energy blade}} out of its head. Cobalion loves [[Cobalion Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and followed it in the past. Cobalion shares a resemblance to {{p|Iron Crown}}, which is believed to be a descendant of Cobalion or a cutting-edge weapon that merely resembles it.

In [[Generation V]], {{m|Sacred Sword}} was its [[signature move]].{{left clear}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==== In the core series ====

* In all [[Generation VI]] games, during the Super Rotation Battle challenge in the [[Battle Maison]], [[Battle Chatelaine]] [[Morgan]] will use a Cobalion as part of her team.

==== In the spin-off games ====
* [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]]: Cobalion is the main antagonist for most of the game as he and his forces have been going around stealing [[Glowdrop]]s from the towns for their own selfish reasons. It is later revealed he was gathering the Glowdrops to gain entrance into the now rusted World Axle, which takes a heavy toll on his legion as they all rust. With his forces now consumed by [[Dark Rust]], Cobalion teams up with the player to infiltrate the World Axle, and ultimately defeats Dark Rust. After the player has defeated {{p|Terrakion}} and {{p|Virizion}}, they will be rewarded with this Cobalion who will be {{pkmn2|Rusty}}.

==Trivia==
* Of the [[Swords of Justice]], Cobalion is the only one with:
** A type immunity.
** A double resistance.
** An English name that is different from the official romanization of its Japanese name.
** French and German names that differ from each other.
* Cobalion's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Virizion}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion were all designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Cobalion is based on the character of {{wp|Athos (character)|Athos}} from the novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}''.<ref name=ND204 /> Like Athos, Cobalion is the oldest and the ''de facto'' leader of the group. Appearance wise, like the others of its quartet, it resembles certain {{wp|ungulate}}s, most notably the {{wp|markhor}} (a type of goat), the {{wp|Deer|stag}}, and some species of antelopes such as the {{wp|greater kudu}} or {{wp|common eland}}. Like the other members of its trio, its nose is shaped like that of a {{wp|sheep}} or {{wp|goat}}.

Cobalion's Steel typing may reference Athos's title of "Count de la Fère", punning on ''fer'', French for iron.

====Name origin====
Cobalion and Cobalon may be combinations of ''cobalt'' (referring to {{wp|cobalt|the metal}} and the color of {{wp|cobalt blue}}) and ''stallion'' or ''champion''.

'''Volcanion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボルケニオン''' ''Volcanion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Water}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

Volcanion was leaked in the January 2016 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on December 12, 2015, and it was {{n|Volcanion has been officially revealed in English|officially revealed}} on December 14, 2015.

Volcanion is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]].

==Biology==
Volcanion is a primarily maroon, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has pointed ears with blue interiors, bright blue eyes, yellow markings over and behind its eyes that resemble eyebrows and eyelashes, a pointed, yellow mandible, and a spike-like protrusion on each cheek. Its body is divided into three segments: a considerably larger front portion that has a hunched back, a thin, blue waist, and smaller hips that resemble its front portion. On its chest are four yellow, diamond-shaped bumps. There is a thin, yellow band around each of its leg joints and the lower, maroon portions of its legs are larger than the thin, blue upper portions. Each ankle has a short, blunt growth, while each foot has three yellow claws. Volcanion has a short, tapering tail with a slightly shorter blue bump along the top. On the back of the front portion of its body are two arm-like cannons. These cannons are normally held together and form a ring around the back. Each cannon is separated into three segments by bright blue lines and each segment has a single blue dot and a short, blunt growth. The topmost segments also have four small, yellow bumps around the ends.

[[File:XY11 Booster Volcanion Art.png|250px|thumb|right|Volcanion's arms when opened]]
Volcanion has an organ that allows it to vaporize the water it absorbs instantly with extremely high temperatures. The arms on Volcanion's back expel the resulting steam from inside its body, allowing it to disappear into the dense fog. It can expel steam of superbly high pressure and has the ability to blow away mountains. Volcanion can run out of water within its body to use, as depicted in the movie ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. When it does, a sound similar to a bell is heard, the lines and dots on its cannons turn red, and it is unable to use any {{type|Water}} moves until it refills its water supply from another source. The movie also revealed that it can utilize its arm-like cannons for various purposes, such as flying through the air by launching water like rockets, blocking attacks, or grabbing objects. As depicted in {{g|Pokopia}}, Volcanion can use them to launch other objects as well, like fireworks.

It was also shown that Volcanion can live for several centuries. It's said to live in mountains where humans do not tread. Volcanion is capable of creating explosive shockwaves<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160220041348/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/volcanion Volcanion]</ref>. This power also allows Volcanion to gouge out the earth and changing the land by reshaping it. Volcanion is worshiped in several regions, such as [[Kalos]], as a "nation-building Pokémon" due to its ability to alter the landscape for people to live on.<ref>[[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]]: ''"On the XXth day of the XXth month at Café Kizuna in Lumiose City. In the southern part of the Kalos region, there seems to be a custom to revere Volcanion as a nation-building Pokémon. People seem to believe that a steam explosion caused by Volcanion created the plain where they live. As a matter of fact, a huge mountain range suddenly disappeared due to an unexplained explosion in that part of the region in the past..."''([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> Volcanion's power can potentially transform the world with its landscape-altering abilities.<ref>{{mas|Lysandre}}: ''"Volcanion's power can be used for more than just moving mountains. It could blow up towns and transform the world."''([[Pokémon Masters EX]])</ref>

Volcanion is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Steam Eruption}}.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Volcanion (M19)]]=====
Volcanion played a major role in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. It was portrayed as a Pokémon who had a hatred of humans, and was targeting the [[Azoth Kingdom]] to retrieve the man-made Pokémon {{OBP|Magearna|M19}}, of whom only it knew its true identity.

====Minor appearances====
{{-}}

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Volcanion appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Volcanion is the only {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon capable of learning {{Type|Water}} moves from level-up, excluding {{M|Hidden Power}} and {{M|Tera Blast}}.
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Volcanion.
* Volcanion is the only Pokémon from the first six [[generation]]s to not appear in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], as it was not yet officially introduced at the time of the game's release.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is revealed that Volcanion has been sighted in [[Kalos]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]], with [[Brandon]] having led expeditions to search for it in those regions.
* Volcanion is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]] to not have an additional [[form]].
* In Pokémon Pokopia, Volcanion is shown to dislike humans. However, its base Friendship is 100, which is above average.

===Origin===
Given Volcanion's mechanical appearance, type combination, and ability to boil water into steam, it may be based on {{wp|steam engine}}s and other {{wp|boiler}}s, while its "arms" function as {{wp|artillery}} weapons. It may draw inspiration from the {{wp|Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyuan}} ''{{wp|shisa}}'' and ''{{wp|komainu}}'', mythical creatures that resemble a mix between {{wp|lion}}s and {{wp|dog}}s, who are often depicted with dragon-like features. Its signature move may refer to {{wp|geyser}}s.

====Name origin====
Volcanion may be a combination of ''volcano'' or ''volcanic'' and ''lion'' or ''union'' (given how it is both Water-type and Fire-type). It may also involve ''canyon'' or ''cañón'' (Spanish for cannon).

'''Heatran''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒードラン''' ''Heatran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Steel}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Heatran can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Heatran''' using the [[Heatranite]]. Mega Heatran was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Heatran wall anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Heatran climbing on the ceiling of a cave]]
Heatran is a maroon, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is dotted with orange and gray spots, and it has metal bangles locked on its legs. Its four claws on each of its feet are in a cross formation. Heatran has a gray underside, and its face is covered by an iron mask, with red-orange eyes uncovered. Its eyes seem to remain open even when it is asleep. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow emanates from inside it. Boiling, magma-like blood circulates through its body. While its body is rugged steel, certain parts of it are partially melted, due to Heatran's own intense body heat.

Heatran is believed to the embodiment of the planet's boiling core. According to legends, Heatran is said to have been birthed from the boiling magma within volcanic mountains such as [[Mount Coronet]] and [[Reversal Mountain]]. A [[Magma Stone]] is capable of both controlling and sealing Heatran within its lair. Without the power of the stone, it would rampage and cause the volcanic crater where it dwells to erupt. Heatran's claws allow it to dig deep into walls. Its feet allow it to stick to surfaces so it can hang and climb on walls and ceilings. The body of Heatran is said to hold many unsolved mysteries. Heatran has the ability to form a shield around itself in order to protect itself from harm.

Heatran is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Magma Storm}}.

===Forms===
Heatran can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Heatran.

As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Heatran is much bigger and heavier, and its body temperature increases to extreme degrees. Overall, the reddish-brown on Heatran's body has turned into a more vivid reddish-orange. Mega Heatran's eyes are yellow, and its lower jaw seems to have partially melted or weakened from the more intense heat that it now generates, leaving its mouth hanging open. Inside of its mouth, only a bright yellow and orange glow is visible. The horns on its head have blobs dropping down. Its underside has grown in volume and turned dark red, with its magma-like blood visible from the folds, and its hind legs have completely melted into liquid metal. Its forelimbs are bulkier and kept more intact, though their layers melt over each other, acting as the sole anchor points for Mega Heatran's locomotion. Mega Heatran releases volcanic gases from its back; slightly closer to its head, two gray metal nubs poke out.

Mega Heatran can unleash extreme heat to keep enemies at bay, reaching temperatures over 1.8 million °F (approximately 1,000,000 °C) when it goes all-out.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====Heatran (recurring)=====
In ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', [[Saturn]] {{pkmn2|caught}} a Heatran to be used in [[Team Galactic]]'s plan to bring back [[Cyrus]], using it and a [[Flame Plate]] to power an energy cannon. However, in ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'', Saturn accidentally overloaded the cannon, causing it to backfire and send Heatran on a rampage when its {{a|Flash Fire}} Ability overloaded, melting its [[Dusk Ball]] and escaping. Its rampage was eventually stopped in ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]''.

Heatran's known moves are {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Magma Storm}}, and its [[Ability]] is {{a|Flash Fire}}.

=====Other=====
Heatran debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the ownership of [[Marcus]]. It was a powerful opponent, but it was eventually freed by {{AP|Pikachu}} after it chose to no longer fight for Marcus's cause.

Heatran made its animated series debut in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''. It was being followed by {{ra|Ben}}, who was on a mission to capture it and protect it from a collapsing mountain.

In the Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures short ''{{DL|Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures|Heated Battle}}'', a Heatran was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} alongside a {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, and {{p|Magmortar}}. They all used {{type|Fire}} attacks to set {{Ash}} and Pikachu on fire.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Heatran was seen entering the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. This made it the first Legendary Pokémon to be entered by a Trainer in a formal competition.

A Heatran appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP169|Heatran|Dawn's Pokédex|Heatran, the Lava Dome Pokémon. Heatran lives in volcanic caves, and uses its cross-shaped claws to maneuver across stone walls.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Sinnoh}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Heatran PG.png|thumb|250px|Heatran in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
In ''[[PG12|The Magma Stone]]'', a Heatran was awakened by [[Charon]] and subsequently began rampaging inside of [[Stark Mountain]], but was calmed by [[Buck]] and resealed when he returned the [[Magma Stone]] to its original resting place on a stone altar.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Charon Heatran Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Heatran in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Movie adaptations===
Heatran appeared in the manga adaptation of {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} as one of the Pokémon under [[Marcus]]'s control, along with {{p|Bronzong}}. Marcus used Heatran in an attempt to kill {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, [[Damos]], {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}}.

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
Heatran is one of the Pokémon a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} used while attacking [[Sun Sun]] in ''[[P7-09|A World Covered In Darkness]]''. It was bested by [[Hiori's Lucario]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
In Pokémon Adventures, Heatran is referred to as the "Lord of Stark Mountain." It first appeared in ''[[PS421|Clobbering Claydol]]'', where [[Buck]] sought to protect it from [[Team Galactic]] by taking the [[Magma Stone]] with him. However, him doing this caused Heatran to be unsealed, allowing [[Charon]] to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it for his own use. Throughout the {{MangaArc|Platinum}}, Charon used Heatran in his battles against Sinnoh's other [[Legendary Pokémon]], until he was finally defeated at the end of the arc. Following Charon's arrest, Buck agreed to take Heatran back to Stark Mountain.

A Heatran appeared as a silhouette in a fantasy in ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]''.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Heatran appeared in ''[[DPA29|A Clash! Hareta vs. Charon]]''. When [[Charon]] raided [[Stark Mountain]], he disturbed the [[Magma Stone]] and awakened Heatran, leaving [[Hareta]] to battle it until the Magma Stone was restored to its proper place.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Heatran.
** Heatran's type combination has the most double resistances of all combinations, with five: {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Fairy}}.
* Mega Heatran has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
** Mega Heatran ties with Mega {{p|Chandelure}} as having the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* In the Japanese version of {{g|X and Y}}, two women in [[Jaune Plaza]] mimic the sounds of Pokémon. One mimics the sound of a Heatran, while the other compliments her. However, this is mistranslated in the English version to say that there is a Lava Dome Pokémon in Jaune Plaza.
* Heatran is the only Pokémon introduced before [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]] that cannot be obtained with its Hidden Ability in any game without an [[Ability Patch]].
* Mega Heatran's Pokédex entry displays the highest temperature of all known Pokémon, at over 1.8 million °F (approximately 1,000,000 °C). This temperature is equal to that of the Sun's corona.

===Origin===
Heatran may be based on volcanic remains. Its {{t|Steel}} typing may reference how the {{wp|Earth's inner core}} is made of solid metal under immense pressure. It may be also based on a personification of magma. In the ancient mythologies of most cultures, the eruptions of volcanoes were explained by the presence of a fire monster living within it, often a {{wp|dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Heatran may be derived from ''{{wp|heat transfer}}''. Its Japanese name may involve ドラゴン ''dragon''.

'''Amoonguss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モロバレル''' ''Morobareru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Foongus}} starting at [[level]] 39.

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Brute Bonnet}} is said to be either an ancient relative of Amoonguss or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Amoonguss is a {{wp|mushroom}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a huge, gray, stem-like body; fierce-looking eyes; a tiny mouth with large pink lips; and two arms. It has large caps on its head and arms that resemble {{i|Poké Ball}}s. The cap on its head has a few warts.

Amoonguss is a carnivore, and uses the Poké Ball-like patterns on its arms to lure in prey, although it doesn't work too well in most cases. It also blows poisonous spores at its opponents. These spores can grow into mushrooms wherever they land if they are not washed off quickly. Amoonguss rarely moves, preferring to stand near any dropped Poké Balls. Amoonguss prefers damp places, and can be found mainly in long grass with only their mushroom cap head protruding from it, generally close to water. {{p|Brute Bonnet}} bears a resemblance to Amoonguss.

===Evolution===
Amoonguss evolves from {{p|Foongus}}.

==Trivia==
* Amoonguss, along with its pre-evolved form, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}}.
** Amoonguss's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of a [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form.
* Amoonguss and its pre-evolved form share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, and {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]], {{m|Spore}}, and [[Ability]], {{a|Effect Spore}}.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], they all give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]], {{p|Foongus}}, Amoonguss, {{p|Ferroseed}}, and {{p|Ferrothorn}} were all designed by the same designer.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Amoonguss may draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|Agaricus}}'' genus. Like {{p|Voltorb}} and its {{p|Electrode|evolved form}}, the idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.

====Name origin====
Amoonguss may be a combination of ''{{wp|amanita}}'' (a genus of mushroom) and ''fungus'' or ''humongous'' (huge). Together with {{p|Foongus|its pre-Evolution}}, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us." This is confirmed by Ali the [[Student (Trainer class)|Student]] in [[North Province (Area Two)]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Morobareru is a combination of もろに ''moro ni'' (completely) and ばれる ''bareru'' (slang for "[for a secret] to be exposed"), referring to how it no longer convincingly looks like a {{i|Poké Ball}}.<ref name=ND205/>

'''Foongus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タマゲタケ''' ''Tamagetake'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Amoonguss}} starting at [[level]] 39.

==Biology==
Foongus is a white, mushroom-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cap that looks quite similar to a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It has stubby, digit-less arms, a tiny mouth with large pink lips, and pinprick-like dark eyes. A theory suggests that the developer of modern Poké Balls actually modeled it after Foongus's cap due to liking the Pokémon, although this is supposition.

Foongus uses its Poké Ball-like pattern to lure people and Pokémon in grassy areas, before releasing a cloud of poisonous spores to defend itself. The spores can be used as a stomach medicine if thoroughly dried. Foongus moves by either hopping or turning on its side and rolling on its cap. It is one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. It prefers damp places, such as around trees.

===Evolution===
Foongus evolves into {{p|Amoonguss}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Foongus, along with its Evolution, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}}.
** However, unlike Voltorb and Electrode, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
** Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolutionary line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
** Foongus's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with its evolved form.
* Foongus and its evolved form share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, and {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]], {{m|Spore}}; and [[Ability]], {{a|Effect Spore}}.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], they all give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture.
* Foongus is tied with {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}} for the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
** It is also tied with {{p|Budew}} and {{p|Shroodle}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] Poison-type Pokémon.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Foongus, {{p|Amoonguss}}, {{p|Ferroseed}}, and {{p|Ferrothorn}} were all designed by the same designer.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Foongus appears to be based on ''{{wp|Amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|Agaricus}}'' genus, due to it being {{type|Poison}}. Like {{p|Voltorb}} and its {{p|Electrode|evolved form}}, the idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. It disguising as an useful object and its Poison-type could also generally be a reference to {{wp|mushroom poisoning|poisonous mushrooms}} which look like {{wp|edible mushroom}}s.

====Name origin====
Foongus may be a combination of ''fool'' (to deceive) and ''fungus''. Together with {{p|Amoonguss|its Evolution}}, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us." This is confirmed by Ali the [[Student (Trainer class)|Student]] in [[North Province (Area Two)]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Tamagetake may be a combination of 玉 ''tama'' (sphere), 魂消る ''tamageru'' (to be astonished), and 茸 ''take'' ({{wp|mushroom}}).

'''Mr. Rime''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バリコオル''' ''Barrikohru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is the final form of {{p|Mime Jr.}} in the [[Galar]] region.

==Biology==
Mr. Rime is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Like its pre-evolved form {{p|Mr. Mime}}, it has growths resembling clown hair, but they are now black rather than blue and they cover the top of its head, resembling a {{wp|bowler hat}}. It has yellow eyes and a moustache that covers its mouth. Its black-and-white torso resembles a coat or tuxedo and a face, with yellow {{wp|shirt stud}}s for its "eyes", a red lump as its "nose", and a white {{wp|cummerbund}} for its "mouth". While its actual face remains almost expressionless, the features on its torso will change to convey emotions. Its lower body is blue and it has black and blue feet that resemble large shoes, presumably capped with ice. It has black spherical shoulders and blue arms with white, mitten-like hands. It always carries a blue formal cane made of ice.

Mr. Rime is highly skilled in tap dancing and waves its ice cane while it moves gracefully. It is popular due to its amusing movements and has been known to influence the {{p|Mime Jr.}} of the [[Galar]] region to learn its dancing steps, leading them to evolve into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime. It can release psychic powers through the pattern on its belly. The comical dancing of Mr. Rime is said to be a calling card. The moment an enemy laughs at its amusing tap dancing, Mr. Rime quickly takes the chance to blast them with frigid air at −328 degrees Fahrenheit (−200 degrees Celsius).

Mr. Rime and its pre-Evolution, Galarian Mr. Mime, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Screen Cleaner}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mr. Rime evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}} and is the final form of {{p|Mime Jr.}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mr. Rime (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Despite its English name containing a male-exclusive {{wp|honorific}}, Mr. Rime's [[gender ratio]] is evenly split between male and female.
* Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that can know an [[Pokémon Sword and Shield#Unusable moves|unusable move in Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. Specifically, it can know {{m|Double Slap}}, {{m|Meditate}}, {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Barrier}}, {{m|Captivate}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Frustration}}, {{m|Return}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, {{m|Signal Beam}}, {{m|Snatch}}, {{m|Telekinesis}}, and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} by evolving from a Mime Jr. that learned these moves in a previous game.
** It is therefore also the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that can have a [[battle-ready symbol]].
*Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}} that can have the [[Origin mark|Sinnohan and Hisuian origin marks]], due to Mime Jr. being able to have them.

===Origin===
Mr. Rime seems to be based on a {{wp|mime}}, a {{wp|tap dance}}r, and silent film actor {{wp|Charlie Chaplin}}'s iconic {{wp|The Tramp|Tramp}} character. Like the Tramp, Mr. Rime appears to wear a {{wp|bowler hat}}, a black suit jacket, baggy trousers, and large dress shoes, along with carrying a cane and sporting a mustache. Mr. Rime is native to the [[Galar]] region, which is inspired by Charlie Chaplin's home country, the {{wp|United Kingdom}}. It could also be derived from the "city gent," a fashion style commonly associated with London businessmen during the 1970s, which prominently featured the bowler hat.

Mr. Rime may also be based on a {{wp|clown}}, since its feet resemble oversized clown shoes and the pattern on its round body resembles a clown face. It may also be inspired by the はらだし ''haradashi'', a humanoid {{wp|yōkai}} with a large face on its belly, which is known for visiting people who feel sad or lonely in order to cheer them up, sometimes by dancing.

Mr. Rime's desaturated {{Shiny}} coloration may reference the black-and-white color of {{wp|silent film}}s — Charlie Chaplin is considered to be one of the most famous silent film actors.

====Name origin====
Mr. Rime may be derived from the abbreviation of ''Mister'' and ''{{wp|Rime ice|rime}}'' (a type of frost) or ''{{wp|rhyme}}'' (since its name rhymes with {{p|Mr. Mime}}).

Barrikohru may be a combination of ''barrier'' (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and 凍る ''kōru'' (to freeze).

'''Mr. Mime''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バリヤード''' ''Barrierd'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Mime Jr.}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

In [[Galar]], Mr. Mime has a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42. All Mime Jr. in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin. [[Kanto]]nian Mr. Mime is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:MrMimeSupremeVictors37.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Mr. Mime rock climbing]]
Mr. Mime is a bipedal, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Blue growths resembling clown hair extend from the sides of its pale pink head, and there is a magenta circle on each cheek. Its jaw is curved inward, resembling the mouth of a wooden dummy. It has a round, white body with a magenta spot in the middle, light pink arms and legs that connect to its body via magenta spheres, and small white coverings over its knees. Its white hands resemble gloves with magenta pads on the tips of its white fingers and its dark blue feet curl upward at the tips.

From birth, this Pokémon is an excellent pantomime. As it matures, it gains the ability to solidify air molecules by vibrating its fingertips. This ability allows it to create invisible objects with its gestures. It punishes those who interrupt its act or are not impressed by slapping them. In the [[TCG]], Mr. Mime is [[Mr. Mime (Supreme Victors 37)|shown]] to be adept at rock climbing. Mr. Mime is usually very rare but can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|suburban areas}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is hard to tell whether Mr. Mime is either sleeping or pretending to be asleep due to its masterful pantomime skills.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Substitute}} was its [[signature move]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]] and in [[Generation VIII]], Mr. Mime and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Filter}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Mr. Mime has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime.

{{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime are mostly blue and white. It also has blue growths resembling clown hair on its pale head; however, these also extend and cover its cheeks, creating a mutton chop style sideburn effect resembling earmuffs. It has wider-shaped eyes and a small blue triangle for a nose. It has a suit-like body comprising a white top, blue shoulder spheres, blue bottom trousers, and a diamond-shaped crystal that resembles a tie. It has mitten-like hands and feet that are more defined, resembling blue shoes with light blue soles, presumably made out of ice.

Through its feet, it is able to control the temperature and create a floor of ice, which it can kick up to act as a barrier. It is widely known in the region for its talent in tap dancing (contrasting Kantonian Mr. Mime's talent in pantomiming) and is likely the result of {{p|Mr. Rime}}'s influence over {{p|Mime Jr.}} imitating their dance steps.

Galarian Mr. Mime and its evolved form, Mr. Rime, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Screen Cleaner}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mr. Mime evolves from {{p|Mime Jr.}}

{{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime evolves from Mime Jr. and evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}}.

===Specific appearances===
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Mr. Mime stars in its own minigame called "Barrier Ball", where they use {{m|Barrier}} to bounce {{i|Poké Ball}}s into opposing players' goals while defending their own.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: During the post-game, a few days after the graduation ceremony, Mr. Mime will appear in [[Treasure Town]], saying that a famous {{p|Scizor}} has been trapped in a dungeon called [[Blizzard Island]]. Afterwards, Mr. Mime will remain in Treasure Town. In Explorers of Sky, it also appears before the post-game as a regular visitor of [[Spinda's Cafe]].

====Major appearances====
=====[[Mimey]]=====
In ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came across a Mr. Mime while looking to replace another one meant to perform in [[Stella]]'s circus.

In {{aniseries|JN}}, Mimey was left at [[Cerise Laboratory]] to look after Ash and his new friend [[Goh]].

=====Other=====

In ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]'', a Mr. Mime is the sous-chef of {{OBP|Rhonda|AG141}}. She was competing with her sister [[Rhoda]] and her {{p|Sneasel}} for the ownership of her father's restaurant outside of [[Saffron City]]. Mr. Mime's cooking was not good, but improved under {{an|Brock}}'s tutelage.

In ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'', [[Clayton]]'s Mr. Mime battled {{AP|Buizel}} twice. It won the first time but lost during the [[rematch]] due to Buizel's {{m|Ice Punch}}.

A Mr. Mime appeared in {{DetPikMov}}, where it was encountered by {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} and [[Tim Goodman]] at [[Ryme Wharf]] while they were searching for the source of the [[R]] substance. Having previously been interrogated by Tim's father [[Harry Goodman|Harry]] and Detective Pikachu before, it tried to mime an escape but was unsuccessful. Tim and Pikachu then tried interrogating it, but it taunted them and used {{m|Barrier}} to shield itself from any other questioning. This prompted Tim to try and "get inside its head", and he mimed opening the door to Mr. Mime's "room", pouring gasoline on it, and threatening it by miming a lit match. Mr. Mime relented and revealed that it had gotten the R from the "roundhouse", an illegal fight club owned by {{OBP|Sebastian|Detective Pikachu}}. In their excitement, Tim accidentally dropped the "match", much to Mr. Mime's horror.

==Trivia==
* Despite its English and French names containing a male-exclusive {{wp|honorific}}, Mr. Mime's [[gender ratio]] is evenly split between male and female.
** This discrepancy is probably due to the fact that Mr. Mime's Japanese name, Barrierd, does not reference gender. Also, Mr. Mime was introduced in [[Generation I]], before the gender mechanic was introduced.
** Based on this, translator [[Nob Ogasawara]] was wary about Mr. Mime's English name during localization: "If they make sequels and they give genders to Pokemon, we're going to be hooped."<ref>[https://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html Lets Break PKMN Blue Thread Bits - SomethingAwful Forums]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/DougDinsdale/status/1269697794765279233 Nob Ogasawara on Twitter]</ref>
* Mr. Mime is the only Pokémon to have its English name changed between generations. Prior to [[Generation III]], it was known as Mr.Mime, without the space.
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game [[trade]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was [[nickname]]d Marcel. This may have been a homage to {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}, a French mime artist. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is [[nickname]]d Miles in Yellow, and Mimien in FireRed and LeafGreen.
** This is referenced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], where a boy in [[Wyndon]] says a nearby Galarian Mr. Mime is named Marcel.
* {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime is:
** The only [[regional form]] with an exclusive evolved form that evolves from a Pokémon without a regional form of its own.
** The only Pokémon evolved by {{m|Mimic|knowing a certain move}} that can evolve further.
** The only Galarian form that can have the [[Origin mark|Hisuian origin mark]], due to Mime Jr. being able to have it.
* Galarian Mr. Mime shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Oricorio}}. They are both known as the Dancing Pokémon.
* Galarian Mr. Mime has the highest [[base stat total]] of any Pokémon that can evolve by leveling up.
* Mr. Mime and {{p|Lycanroc}} are the only two Pokémon known to have six possible {{Abilities}} between their forms, the most of any Pokémon.
* Mr. Mime is the only wild Pokémon in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that can prevent players from battling it, as the barrier it sets up disrupts any Poké Balls that hit it.

===Design variations===

{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
In all official artwork and in-game [[#Sprites|sprites]] prior to the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as in early appearances in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Mr. Mime only has four fingers. However, Mr. Mime has always been depicted with five fingers in {{aniseries|PTS}}, including the [[original series]], and from FireRed and LeafGreen onward, it is consistently depicted with five fingers across media.

===Origin===
Mr. Mime seems to be based on a {{wp|mime artist}}, specifically the {{wp|pantomime}} of pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes. Its brightly colored body is also reminiscent of a {{wp|clown}} and a {{wp|court jester}}. The blue growths on its head resemble a {{wp|cap and bells|fool's cap}}, and its curled feet resemble a jester's hook-toed shoes. Its curled feet are also reminiscent of modern depictions of {{wp|elves}}. Elves are often portrayed as fairy-like beings and in some cases the terms are used interchangeably; this may explain why Mr. Mime was changed to be part-{{t|Fairy}} with the type's introduction in [[Generation VI]]. Its jerky animations cause it to resemble a jointed {{wp|puppet}} or {{wp|doll}}. In Japanese folklore, inanimate objects that are possessed by spirits and come to life are known as ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}''.

Galarian Mr. Mime appears to be based on both {{wp|tap dance}}rs and {{wp|ice skating|ice skaters}}. The soles of its feet resemble {{wp|tap dance#Tap shoes|tap shoes}}, the blue spots on the sides of its head resemble {{wp|earmuffs}}, its fingers resemble {{wp|Glove#Mittens|mittens}}, and the ice on its chest resembles a {{wp|necktie}}. Its round body is also reminiscent of a {{wp|snowman}}.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime consists of ''{{wp|Mr.}}'' (contraction of ''Mister'') and ''{{wp|mime}}''.

Barrierd may be a combination of ''barrier'' (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and ''weird''.

'''Mime Jr.''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マネネ''' ''Manene'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mr. Mime}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Mimic}}.

In [[Galar]], Mime Jr. evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime when leveled up while knowing Mimic, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}} starting at level 42. Kantonian Mr. Mime is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Mime Jr. is a small, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with dark-blue legs and a "hat", which appears crooked and has a white ball on it. A red bump appears on its stomach and a typical red clown nose appears on its face. It has slender arms and small hands.

Mime Jr. has a knack for imitating others, though is not very good at it; it can easily pick up the emotions of those around it and imitate them. It has been known to mimic its foes in order to create distractions. Once the foe is confused, it will quickly escape. Sometimes, when it startles an opponent with its mimic skills, Mime Jr. feels so confident that it sometimes forgets to keep up its act. In [[Galar]], Mime Jr. tends to idolize and imitate its final evolved form {{p|Mr. Rime}}, which are widely popular in the region for their talent in tap-dancing. By practicing their dance steps, they eventually evolve into a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}}. It likes places where many people gather and has often been seen visiting marketplaces filled with people. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Mime Jr. can found sleeping on a pantomimed bed on rare occasions. Even when sleeping, Mime Jr. puts a lot of effort into mimicking its Evolution Mr. Mime.

Prior to [[Generation VI]] and in [[Generation VIII]], Mime Jr. and its evolved form, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Filter}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mime Jr. evolves into {{p|Mr. Mime}}.

In [[Galar]], it evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime, which evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}}.

==Trivia==
* Mime Jr. is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a [[catch rate]] of 145.
* Mime Jr. has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Mime Jr. is the only [[baby Pokémon]] who was given the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]] that wasn't previously a {{t|Normal}} type.
** It is also the only Fairy type baby Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Mime Jr. is the only Pokemon with two types whose primary type becomes its Evolution's secondary type. This is only the case if it evolves into Galarian Mr. Mime, as regular Mr. Mime share their exact typing with Mime Jr.

===Origin===
Mime Jr. seems to be based on a {{wp|toddler}} and a {{wp|mime artist}} due to its {{wp|imitation|mimicking}} behavior. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|clown}} due to its bright colors and big, red nose. The blue growth on its head resembles a {{wp|knit cap}} with earflaps or a {{wp|cap and bells|fool's cap}} worn by {{wp|court jester}}s. Its {{t|Fairy}} type and pointed hat may be inspired by various humanoid {{wp|fairy tale}} creatures such as {{wp|gnome}}s, {{wp|Dwarf (mythology)|dwarves}}, and {{wp|elves}}. In folklore, the terms "elves" and "fairies" are sometimes used interchangeably. Its body shape also resembles a {{wp|hand puppet}} or a {{wp|doll}}. In Japanese folklore, inanimate objects that are possessed by spirits and come to life are known as ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}''.

Mime Jr. is also reminiscent of an {{wp|ice cream cone}}, with its pointy legs resembling a cone, its pink body and head resembling scoops of strawberry ice cream, its hat resembling a swirl of {{wp|whipped cream}}, and its red nose and button resembling {{wp|Maraschino cherry|maraschino cherries}}.

====Name origin====
Mime Jr. is derived from {{wp|mime}} and ''{{wp|Suffix_(name)#Generational_titles|Jr.}}'' (abbreviation of Junior).

Manene may be a combination of 真似 ''mane'' (mimicry) and ね ''ne'' (emphasis and question marker particle)—similar to {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s Japanese etymology (''fushigi da ne'')—or ''nene'' (Spanish for "baby").

'''Seviper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハブネーク''' ''Habunake'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Zangoose}}.

==Biology==
[[File:AG048.png|thumb|220px|left|A Seviper and Zangoose battling]]
Seviper is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. It is mostly covered in black scales, but it has several markings on its body. It has yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, small yellow bumps where it touches the ground, and various purple scar-like marks. It has elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape. Seviper sharpens its tail on rocks.

Seviper wraps around its opponents to render them unable to move. Its sharp tail and fangs are venomous and are used for striking and poisoning prey or enemies. It has been bitter enemies with {{p|Zangoose}} for many generations. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}. In [[New Pokémon Snap]], a Seviper can be seen attempting to prey on an {{p|Octillery}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Poison Tail}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Main series===
[[File:Keanan Seviper.png|thumb|250px|Seviper in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Seviper]]=====
Seviper debuted in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'', where [[Jessie]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it. It became Jessie's main battling partner, replacing her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. Jessie eventually left Seviper at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket Headquarters}} when she headed to the [[Unova]] [[region]] so they wouldn't attract attention by using Pokémon not native to Unova. Seviper returned to Jessie's party in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]''.

=====[[Lucy's Seviper]]=====
In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', [[Lucy]] first used a Seviper to fight off {{TRT}}, during which it clashed against Jessie's own Seviper. It was then used to battle [[Ash's Donphan]] at the [[Battle Pike]], and it lost.

=====Other=====
In ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', [[Schwarz and Weiss|Schwarz]] sent out a Seviper after he and Weiss caught {{an|N}} getting away with {{p|Braviary}}. It was then used to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and it was eventually defeated in a battle by [[Iris's Excadrill]].

In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', multiple Seviper were among {{an|Florges}}'s minions that were ordered to attack {{AP|Goodra}}'s homeland. Two of them reappeared in ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', and ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

A Seviper appeared in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', under the ownership of [[Snake]].

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Animated Trailer===
[[File:Team Plasma Seviper Animated Trailer.png|thumb|250px|Seviper in the animated trailer]]
In the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer]], a female {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}'s Seviper was ordered to attack {{ga|Nate}}, [[Hugh]], and [[Cheren]] with {{m|Bite}} aboard the [[Plasma Frigate]]. However, Nate's {{p|Arcanine}} intercepted with its own Bite before Hugh's {{p|Samurott}} attacked it with {{m|Ice Beam}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Lucy's Seviper}}
In ''[[PS183|Trying to Trounce Torchic]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Seviper attacked {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} after the latter took him to her [[Secret Base]]. Her {{p|Torchic}}, [[Chic]], was able to put it down for the time being with its {{m|Ember}} barrage, but it rose back up after Sapphire fainted from an earlier wound. Ruby, seeing that there was no one around to see him fight, knocked it out cold with his {{adv|Celebi|last resort Pokémon}} before leaving Sapphire a letter and a change of clothes.

Another wild Seviper appeared in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' and ''[[PS208|On the Loose and Hyper with Zangoose and Seviper II]]'' where it broke Ruby's {{i|Poké Ball}}s in unison with a wild {{p|Zangoose}}. The then-uncaptured [[Feefee]] was able to take them both out, resulting in it being forced into his team (which provided a sharp contrast between the well-groomed [[Nana]] and [[Kiki]], and [[Mumu]] and itself).

As in the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Lucy]] uses a Seviper as her main Pokémon, which was able to defeat two [[rental Pokémon]] in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}, and later fought {{adv|Emerald}} before losing. She first appeared in ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]''.

==Trivia==
* In an [[AG077|infamous]] [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], Seviper was incorrectly claimed to be an evolved form of {{p|Arbok}}.
* Seviper and its rival {{p|Zangoose}} share several characteristics, such as being in the Field Egg Group, residing in the same [[Friend Area]], and being the only two Pokémon with a base stat total of 458. They have also appeared adjacent to each other in all the [[regional Pokédex]]es they have been part of.
** Seviper and Zangoose also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Seviper being in the Fluctuating group and Zangoose being in the Erratic group.
* Seviper is the only pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon to not have an evolutionary relative.

===Origin===
Seviper appears to be based on a {{wp|viper}}; specifically, the {{wp|habu}}, a type of {{wp|venomous snake}}. Aside from its scars, the shape of its color pattern resembles that of the {{wp|Protobothrops elegans|elegant pitviper}}.

The rivalry Seviper shares with {{p|Zangoose}} is based on the real relationship between mongooses and {{wp|snake}}s. In many cultures the mongoose is depicted as an antagonist of snakes, likely due to it being their natural predator. In Japan (specifically Okinawa and Amami), it was common for the habu and the mongoose to be pitted against each other in roadside shows. This practice is now considered inhumane and is rarely seen today.

As seen only in their Generation III and Pokémon Pinball RS sprites, Seviper and Zangoose shared a color scheme that further reinforced their rivalry: Seviper's red tail blade and fangs matched Zangoose's red scar-like markings, while Zangoose's claws were originally purple, matching Seviper's purple scar-like markings. This color symmetry is also reflected in their shiny forms. The connection is not present in the official artwork and later generations, with Zangoose's claws changed to black.

====Name origin====
Seviper may be a combination of ''sever'' (to cut and detach), ''severe'' (intense) or ''{{wp|serpent}}'' and ''{{wp|viper}}''. Additionally, the use of ''S'' in Seviper mirrors the ''Z'' in Zangoose, possibly in reference to their rivalry.

Habunake may be a combination of 波布 ''{{wp|habu}}'' and ''snake''.

'''Zangoose''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザングース''' ''Zangoose'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

It is well known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Seviper}}.

==Biology==
[[File:ZangooseTeamUp132.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Zangoose on all fours]]
Zangoose is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a cross between a mongoose and a cat. Despite being classified as a bipedal Pokémon, it usually walks on all fours. Its fur is mostly white with deep red, scar-like markings on the face, chest, and forepaws. Its fur stands up on end when it smells its arch-enemy Seviper nearby. It has two long, black claws on its forepaws, which curl underneath the forepaws when not in use, and pink paw pads on its hind feet. It has pink eyes, long ears, and a small red nose. When it opens its mouth, two sharp fangs can be seen on its upper jaw. There are small tufts of white fur on its shoulders, and it has a large, fluffy tail.

Zangoose is bitter enemies with {{p|Seviper}}, which it has battled for many generations. Every hair on a Zangoose's body is known to stand up if it even smells a Seviper nearby. It is agile enough to easily dodge incoming threats, and it attacks foes with its sharp claws. It uses its sharp claws to tear foes apart. Despite its hot-blooded and brave nature, it has been known to enjoy peaceful activities, such as listening to ocean waves. Zangoose has a strong immune system and is {{a|Immunity|resistant to venom}}. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

Zangoose is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Toxic Boost}} as an [[Ability]]. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Crush Claw}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Main series===
[[File:Black Belt Zangoose.png|thumb|250px|Zangoose in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====Major appearances====
Zangoose debuted in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', under the ownership of [[Nicholai]]. It battled {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Treecko}}, but suddenly, Zangoose noticed [[Jessie's Seviper]] and started to battle it instead. Ash, {{ashfr}}, and even {{TRT}} did not know what was going on, but it was Zangoose and {{p|Seviper}}'s natural rivalry that got the two fighting. They were suddenly knocked into a river and Seviper then used {{m|Poison Tail}}, knocking Zangoose unconscious. {{an|Brock}} nursed Zangoose back to health with herbal medicine and left it to rest. Later, Seviper reappeared and engaged it in {{pkmn|battle}} again. After a long and fierce battle, Zangoose finally knocked out the Fang Snake Pokémon with a {{m|Crush Claw}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', a Zangoose was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Sandslash}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the Labyrinth Cave to get a {{p|Gabite}} Scale for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]]. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite beat them up. The team reappeared in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', it was revealed that [[Paul]] found {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} while it was being attacked by multiple Zangoose. Due to the {{a|Blaze|amazing power}} Chimchar used while fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. Also in this episode, Chimchar faced off against a {{tc|Black Belt}}'s Zangoose and nearly lost to it during the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]].

In ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]'', three Zangoose confronted {{TRT}} and fought [[Jessie's Seviper]]. Later, when their rivalry was endangering everyone else, Ash's Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.

In ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'', [[Crimson]] used a Zangoose in a battle against {{Ash}} and [[Officer Jenny]]. It was able to defeat {{AP|Buizel}} but then fell to {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Iron Tail}}.

In ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', [[Schwarz and Weiss|Weiss]] sent out a Zangoose after he and Schwarz caught {{an|N}} getting away with an injured {{p|Braviary}}. It was then used to battle {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and was eventually defeated in a battle by [[Ash's Pikachu]] with help from the same Braviary.

====Minor appearances====
In a flashback in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Zangoose was defeated by [[Dr. Abby]]'s {{p|Skitty}} during the [[Grand Festival]].

A Zangoose appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]''.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', a Trainer's Zangoose went up against Tobias during the Lily of the Valley Conference finals. It battled his Darkrai off-screen, but as with the other five Pokémon owned by its Trainer, it was easily defeated by the Pitch-Black Pokémon.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s used multiple Zangoose during Team Plasma's assault on the {{an|White Ruins}}.

A Trainer's Zangoose appeared in ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]''.

==In the TFG==

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Zangoose|25}}

==Trivia==
* Zangoose and its rival {{p|Seviper}} share several characteristics, such as being in the {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]], residing in the same [[Friend Area]], and being the only two Pokémon with a base stat total of 458. They have also appeared adjacent to each other in all the [[Regional Pokédex|regional Pokédexes]] they have been part of.
** Zangoose and Seviper also have the exact opposite [[Experience]] group, with Zangoose being in the Erratic group and Seviper being in the Fluctuating group.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], most of Zangoose's Egg Moves from previous generations are learned through the [[Move Reminder]], thus it learns no moves through breeding.

===Origin===
Zangoose appears to be based on the {{wp|mongoose}}, a cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill {{wp|venomous snake}}s. It also resembles cats, such as the {{wp|Turkish Angora}} and {{wp|Persian cat}}.

The rivalry Zangoose shares with {{p|Seviper}} is based on the relationship between mongooses and {{wp|snake}}s, with mongooses being predators of snakes. In many cultures, the mongoose is depicted as an antagonist of snakes, most notably the story of [[wp:Rikki-Tikki-Tavi|Rikki-Tikki-Tavi]] from ''[[wp:The_Jungle_Book|The Jungle Book]]''. In Japan (specifically Okinawa and Amami), it was common for a {{wp|habu}} (a type of snake) and a mongoose to be pitted against each other in roadside shows. This practice is now considered inhumane and is rarely seen today.

As seen only in their Generation III and Pokémon Pinball RS sprites, Zangoose and Seviper shared a color scheme that further reinforced their rivalry: Seviper's red tail blade and fangs matched Zangoose's red scar-like markings, while Zangoose's claws were originally purple, matching Seviper's purple scar-like markings. This color symmetry is also reflected in their shiny forms. The connection is not present in the official artwork and later generations, with Zangoose's claws changed to black.

====Name origin====
Zangoose may be a combination of 斬 ''zan'' (slash) and ''mongoose''. Additionally, the use of ''Z'' in Zangoose mirrors the ''S'' in Seviper, possibly in reference to their rivalry.

'''Grafaiai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タギングル''' ''Taggingru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shroodle}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
[[File:Grafaiai tree painting.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Grafaiai paints trees in its territory]]
Grafaiai is a short primate Pokémon resembling a {{wp|lemur}} — such as the {{wp|aye-aye}} — or a {{wp|loris}}. The top half of its body is mostly black and somewhat resembles a hoodie, while its forearms and the bottom half of its body are dark bluish-gray in color, with white stripes on its thighs and bushy tail, and two white toes on its feet. It has a white face with large ears, huge yellow-green eyes, purple eyelids, and a short snout with four nostrils and sharp incisors. It also has four tufts of blonde hair above its forehead. Grafaiai's most notable physical feature is its hands: they have three fingers each, with the middle finger being several times longer than the other two. These fingers are coated with Grafaiai's poisonous saliva, with the finger on its right hand always seen with two drops of the saliva hanging from it.

Grafaiai has a moody temperament and is attentive to detail. It is a solitary species, and often gets into territorial fights with other Pokémon, including other Grafaiai. Grafaiai's saliva is brightly colored and poisonous, and its color changes depending on Grafaiai's diet, which includes {{Berries}} and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.<ref name=SVYoutube>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPWSMyGx6OI Grafaiai makes its mark! | Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref><ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/grafaiai/ Grafaiai | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website]</ref> Grafaiai uses this poisonous saliva to attack foes, either by spitting the saliva at them or by coating its hands with the saliva before slashing at them. Should Grafaiai sense danger, its poison becomes more concentrated and can immobilize a victim for about three days once absorbed.<ref name=SVsite/>

Grafaiai is nocturnal. During the night, it licks its hands and fingers with its poisonous saliva, before using them to draw patterns on trees. This not only marks Grafaiai's territory, but it also draws in Bug-type Pokémon with its sweet scent. The poison causes Grafaiai's prey to be immobilized and trapped until Grafaiai goes to collect them at dawn.<ref name=SVsite/> Each Grafaiai has its own signature pattern, which it will paint over and over throughout its life.

Grafaiai is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Doodle}}.

===Evolution===
Grafaiai evolves from {{p|Shroodle}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Grafaiai and {{p|Shroodle|its pre-evolved form}}.
* Grafaiai was first teased on August 29, 2022, through the official Pokémon Twitter account by showing pictures of the patterns it paints.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1564236773986795521 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on August 29, 2022.</ref> It got a second teaser on August 30, 2022, revealing its name and showing it as an obscured shadow,<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1564599438236057602 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on August 30, 2022.</ref> before being properly revealed on September 1, 2022.<ref name=SVYoutube/><ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1565324120199495681 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on September 1, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Grafaiai, as evidenced by its name, seems to be based on the {{wp|aye-aye}}, a {{wp|lemur}} species with large eyes and ears. The aye-aye is known for its long, skinny middle fingers, which it uses to poke into the insides of trees and catch insects. It also seems to be based on another species of {{wp|primate}}: the {{wp|slow loris}}, which is the only known venomous primate. Like Grafaiai, the slow loris has large eyes and venom that it mixes with its saliva. Grafaiai's black, grey, and white coloration brings to mind the {{wp|ring-tailed lemur}}, which has scent glands on its wrists that allow it to mark its territories.

Grafaiai's behavior of painting trees with its saliva seems to be inspired by {{wp|graffiti}} art. With its connection to graffiti, along with its "hoodie" and hair sticking out of it, Grafaiai may also be partially inspired by stereotypes of various {{wp|youth subculture}}s, namely {{wp|hip-hop fashion|hip-hop}} and {{wp|punk fashion|punk}}. Additionally, the patterns it paints on trees may reference the {{wp|Oma forest}}, a public work of art by {{wp|Agustín Ibarrola}} consisting of trees painted with bright colors and elaborate patterns, located in the {{wp|Urdaibai estuary|Urdaibai}} natural reserve in {{wp|Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country}}, {{wp|Spain}}.

Grafaiai's evolutionary line may be inspired by the fact that the slow loris and certain species of shrews are among the few examples of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. Additionally, it may reference modern {{wp|phylogenetics}}: its Evolution from a {{wp|rodent}} or a {{wp|treeshrew}}-based Pokémon seems to be based on the fact that {{wp|primate}}s, rodents, and treeshrews are all members of the {{wp|Euarchontoglires}} superorder of mammals. It may also reference early naturalists mistakenly classifying the aye-aye as a rodent due to its continually growing incisors.

====Name origin====
Grafaiai may be a combination of ''graffiti'' and ''{{wp|aye-aye}}''. It may also be derived from ''Urdaibai'' (natural reserve home to the painted Oma forest).

Taggingru may be a combination of ''{{wp|Tag (graffiti)|tagging}}'' (form of graffiti signature) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey). It may also involve ジャングル ''janguru'' (jungle).

'''Shroodle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シルシュルー''' ''Shirushrew'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grafaiai}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
[[File:ShroodleMegaEvolution149.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Shroodle marking its territory]]
Shroodle is a tiny shrew-like Pokémon with an almost hemispherical body, having a stubby tail and four small white feet with gray paw pads. Its fur is gray on top and white on the underside, except for its black head, which takes up about half of its body. Shroodle's head contains large, yellow-green eyes with tiny black pupils; small semicircular ears on the sides; a single tuft of blonde hair on top; and a long, bulbous snout at the front. The snout contains a pair of big and sharp upper incisors, coated in a purple poison that can cause paralysis.

Shroodle has a mellow personality, but if angered, it will bite into the offender, inflicting them with its venom. It paints markings around its territory using a poisonous liquid with a strong, unpleasant smell, in order to ward off intruders.

===Evolution===
Shroodle evolves into {{p|Grafaiai}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Shroodle and {{p|Grafaiai|its Evolution}}.
* Shroodle is the only Pokémon to have {{a|Pickpocket}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Shroodle is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Shroodle is tied with {{p|Budew}} and {{p|Foongus}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{p|Azurill}} and Normal Form {{p|Terapagos}} for the shortest Normal-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Shroodle may be based on the {{wp|Iberian shrew}} or the {{wp|Pyrenean desman}}, two species of shrew found in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}. Its venomous bite may be inspired by the fact that certain shrew species are among the few {{wp|venomous mammal}}s, and have a venomous bite that is used to paralyze earthworms and other prey.

The shape of Shroodle's snout, combined with the fact that it evolves into a Pokémon based on an {{wp|aye-aye}}, suggests that it also may be based on a {{wp|treeshrew}}, a small mammal from Southeast Asia that is believed to be the closest evolutionary relative to primates. Its large eyes and evolutionary line could be inspired by the {{wp|mouse lemur}}.

Shroodle may also be based on any species of shrew tenrec in the genus ''{{wp|Microgale}}'', which are native to {{wp|Madagascar}} just like the aye-aye. {{wp|Tenrec}}s in general have the unique behavior of licking their paws and spreading their saliva around their territory as a method of scent marking.

Shroodle's overall body shape and Grafaiai's graffiti theme may pay homage to "{{wp|Kilroy was here}}," a popular graffiti.

====Name origin====
Shroodle may be a combination of ''{{wp|shrew}}'' (insectivore mammal), ''shrewd'', and ''doodle''.

Shirushrew may be a combination of 汁 ''shiru'' (juice), しるし ''shirushi'' (mark, sign), ''shrew'', and シュルシュル ''shurushuru'' (onomatopoeia for rustling or slithering).

'''Toxtricity''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストリンダー''' ''Strinder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Toxel}} starting at [[level]] 30. The [[#Form data|form]] it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s).
* Toxel evolves into '''Amped Form''' Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
* Toxel evolves into '''Low Key Form''' Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

Toxtricity has a [[Gigantamax]] form, which is the same regardless of its form. It can Gigantamax into '''Gigantamax Toxtricity''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
Toxtricity is a bipedal, lizard or salamander-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two forms. Both Amped Form and Low Key Form Toxtricity have purple-colored bodies and white eyes with black irises. Both forms also have four spikes on the back, four spikes on each wrist, and a crescent-shaped body part with six light purple spikes around the waist and a stubby tail.

By clawing at the organs on their chests, both forms of Toxtricity can generate over 15,000 volts of electricity, as well as sound. The sounds they make resemble those of electric string instruments: a standard guitar for Amped Form, and a bass guitar for Low Key Form. Toxtricity chugs stagnant water to absorb the dissolved toxins, which it then breaks down in order to generate electricity. Toxtricity is very popular with several youths who admire the way it listlessly picks fights with any foe it faces and keeps its cool no matter what.

Toxtricity is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Overdrive}}, as well as the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Punk Rock}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Toxtricity has three forms: Amped Form, Low Key Form, and [[Gigantamax]] Toxtricity.

;Amped Form Toxtricity
Amped Form Toxtricity has a slouched posture. It has a yellow underbelly, yellow stripes on its legs, and yellow accents on its back, palms, and soles. It also has a yellow electric frill that extends from its snout to its neck. Two additional electric spikes protrude from its back. It has four horns: two smaller ones above its eyes, and two larger ones on the sides of its head. Six purple organs protrude from its chest.

Amped Form Toxtricity are known to be short-tempered and extremely confident. This form aggressively attacks anything that makes eye contact with it.<ref name="Amped">[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/toxtricity-amped-form/ Toxtricity (Amped Form) | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Amped Form Toxtricity occasionally strumming its chest protrusion while it sleeps. If one hears intense guitar music at night, it is said to be the sound of a half-asleep Amped Form Toxtricity.

;Low Key Toxtricity
Low Key Form Toxtricity has an upright posture, with its neck standing tall. It has a light blue underbelly, light blue stripes on its legs, and light blue accents on its back, palms, and soles. It has a large fin-like horn in front of its face, and two smaller horns on the sides of its head. Its two light blue electric frills run from the base of its larger horn, and down to its neck. Four purple organs protrude from its chest.

Low Key Form Toxtricity are known to be selfish and dismissive of others and have high regard towards their strength. This form taunts its opponents into fighting it when making eye contact with them.<ref name="LowKey">[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/toxtricity-low-key-form/ Toxtricity (Low Key Form) | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> According to the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Low Key Form Toxtricity has been observed acting like it is strumming a musical instrument while it sleeps. It is speculated that this form of Toxtricity dreams of being on stage, performing with rhythmic bass guitar sounds while generating electricity.

;Gigantamax Toxtricity
[[File:849Toxtricity-Gigantamax 2.png|left|thumb|200px|Gigantamax Toxtricity using {{m|G-Max Stun Shock}}]]
Toxtricity's two forms share the same Gigantamax form. As Gigantamax Toxtricity, it has a larger appearance that resembles a combination of its two forms. It walks on all fours, but it is also capable of standing on its hind legs. It has a dark purple body with a dark pink underbelly and dark pink accents on its back, soles, and hind legs. Its spikes and the crescent-shaped body part on its waist turn bright pink, and from its waist grows a tail resembling a {{wp|transmission tower}}, and two protrusions that resemble conductor coils. Three red clouds surround its tail. It has four horns on its head, and three large electric frills that run from between its horns down to its back: a yellow one at the center, and two light blue ones flanking it on either side. Its eyes have light blue sclerae and yellow pupils, which extend outside of its sclerae, resembling stars. Its chest has two light blue and four yellow organs protruding.

Gigantamax Toxtricity's main weapon is its excessive electric energy, which contains more electricity than a thundercloud. It can store up to one million liters of poison. This poison penetrates Gigantamax Toxtricity's brain and causes it to go berserk, leaking toxic sweat all over its body like acid rain. To attack, Gigantamax Toxtricity uses its stored electricity to create a guitar-shaped mass and slams it down toward opponents, similar to the act of guitar smashing real rock singers do. The energy and momentum of this attack are powerful enough to create a giant crater.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-toxtricity/ Gigantamax Toxtricity | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Toxtricity is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Stun Shock}}.

===Form data===
Toxtricity has two non-interchangeable forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form.

When {{p|Toxel}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into Toxtricity, the form it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s):

*Toxel will evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
*Toxel will evolve into Low Key Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

Both forms of Toxtricity have the same [[base stats]], but they learn slightly different [[move]]s and have different possible {{Abilities}}. Both forms have access to the same [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Toxtricity and its {{p|Toxel|pre-Evolution}}.
* Toxtricity is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 502.
* All of the Natures that lower the Attack stat (Bold, Timid, Modest, Calm) only belong to Low Key Form Toxtricity; likewise, all of the Natures that lower the Special Defense stat (Naughty, Lax, Naive, Rash) only belong to Amped Form Toxtricity.
* Toxtricity, its pre-Evolution, and its Gigantamax form were all designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1525743204259098624 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on May 15th, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Visually, Toxtricity resembles {{wp|lizard}}s, especially the ones from the {{wp|Agama (lizard)|Agama}} genus, like the {{wp|Mwanza flat-headed rock agama}} and the {{wp|Agama planiceps|Namib rock agama}}. Like Toxtricity, this genus is known for displaying a variety of bright colors and possessing spikes on the region of the ear.

Alternatively, Toxtricity may be based on {{wp|newt}}s, which are a type of salamander. Newts are poisonous, have rounded toes, and lizard-like bodies. The {{wp|Northern crested newt}} in particular resembles Toxtricity, sharing its jagged crest, yellow underbelly, and spots resembling the chest protrusions. The spikes on the side of the Pokémon's head are reminiscent of the gills newts have in their larval stage.

Toxtricity also appears to be based on {{wp|punk rock}} {{wp|guitarist}}s. Its Amped and Low Key forms resemble {{wp|electric guitar}}s and {{wp|bass guitar}}s; the number of their chest organs equals the number of strings on each guitar (six and four, respectively), and they make sounds similar to those of the respective instruments when strummed.<ref name="Amped"/><ref name="LowKey"/> Its appearance features several fashion elements commonly associated with punk, such as the {{wp|mohawk|mohawk hairstyle}}, torn pants, and spiked bracelets and belts. Gigantamax Toxtricity's ability of generating a guitar-shaped spark to attack may be a reference to {{wp|Instrument destruction|guitar smashing}}, a common act by guitarists at the end of a concert set where they smash their guitar against the floor. The pink and yellow coloration of its shiny form when in Amped Form greatly resembles the colors used in the album art of seminal British punk rock band {{wp|Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols|Sex Pistols' debut record}}, commonly cited as one of the first full-length records of the UK punk movement.

====Name origin====
Toxtricity may be a combination of ''toxic'' or ''toxicity'' and ''electricity''.

Strinder may be a combination of ''strings'' (of a stringed instrument) and ''salamander''.

'''Toxel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレズン''' ''Eleson'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Toxtricity}} starting at [[level]] 30. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Toxtricity|form}} it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] ([[Mint]]s only change the effect of a Nature rather than changing the Nature, and therefore do not change the Evolution).
* Toxel evolves into Toxtricity '''Amped Form''' if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
* Toxel evolves into Toxtricity '''Low Key Form''' if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

==Biology==
Toxel is a small, quadrupedal, purple, lizard-like [[Baby Pokémon|baby]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a lightning bolt-like protrusion on its forehead, along with four conical spikes surrounding its head. It has violet eyes with black pupils and white sclerae. Toxel typically has its light purple tongue sticking out of its mouth. Its cheeks are marked with a very pale whitish lavender spot on each side. Its chest also has a pale lavender-white spot, heavily resembling a baby's bib. Its lower half is light purple with lines running down the sides, resembling a diaper and entirely covering its short, tapering tail. Its arms and legs have two stubby fingers and toes each, with pale white spots under the toes and palms. Toxel also has two white spots on its back, just below its head.

Toxel is able to drink dirty water and filter it into a poison that is harmless to it. By manipulating the chemical makeup of this poison, it can produce electricity, which, while having weak voltage, causes a tingling paralysis on whoever touches it. Toxel's poison and electricity are stored on two different sacs inside its body, but are both relayed through its skin. It has a selfish, attention-seeking nature. Toxel is known to throw tantrums as a result of this. As noted in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Toxel tends to throw tantrums even during its sleep. Some people might feel the urge to cradle and soothe Toxel, but it instinctively releases poison from its skin, which can cause a tingling sensation for anyone who hugs it. It is advisable to observe Toxel from a safe distance for this reason.

===Evolution===
Toxel evolves into {{p|Toxtricity}}.

==Trivia==
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Toxel and its evolved form.
* Toxel is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 242.
* Toxel is the first [[baby Pokémon]] introduced since [[Generation IV]], and is the only baby Pokémon to be introduced alone in a [[generation]].
* Among the natures Toxel can have, if it has one that lowers the Attack stat, it will always evolve into Low-Key Form Toxtricity; likewise, if Toxel has a nature that lowers the Special Defense stat, it will always evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity.
* Toxel and its Evolution were designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>

===Origin===
Toxel may be based on different {{wp|lizard}} and {{wp|frog}} species, mainly a {{wp|poison dart frog}} due to its {{t|Poison}} typing and toxic skin. It may also be based on a human baby as its bottom-half closely resembles a diaper, the white spot on its chest is similar to a bib, and it also crawls on its hands and has temper tantrums. The spikes on Toxel's head make it resemble an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}. The two white circles on its back are based on {{wp|Mongolian spot}}s.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1423593378059411458 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on August 6, 2021.</ref>

====Name origin====
Toxel may be a combination of ''toxic'', ''toddle'', ''cell'', ''electric'', and ''little''.

Eleson may be a combination of ''electric'' and ''poison''.

'''Mabosstiff''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフィティフ''' ''Mafitiff'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Maschiff}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Mabosstiff is a large, canine Pokémon. Its coat is primarily gray, with blackish gray colorations on its underside, back, and around its face and eyes. It also has a stripe of light gray fur running down its spine. The stripe starts at its forehead, which forms the appearance of slicked back hair; and ends at its rear, forming a long, brushy tail. According to [[Arven]], Mabosstiff is known to shed its fur frequently.

Mabosstiff's head is large with no discernible neck, and contains small orange beady eyes, light gray eyebrows, additional light gray accents under its eyes, a rounded triangular orange nose, and a mouth filled with sharp teeth. Mabosstiff has a large dewlap below its mouth, which allows it to store energy to drive back opponents.

Contrary to scary appearances, Mabosstiff has a kind and gentle heart. The gentle Mabosstiff loves playing with children. However, it will bare its teeth and take on an intimidating look when protecting its family. Mabosstiff will relentlessly chase down and permanently put down any foes that dare threaten its family.

===Evolution===
Mabosstiff evolves from {{p|Maschiff}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Mabosstiff seems to be based on the {{wp|mastiff}} breeds of dog. Considering that it was first introduced in the Iberian-based [[Paldea]], as well as its large build, coloration, and characteristically big dewlap, Mabosstiff particularly draws from the {{wp|Spanish Mastiff}}. Mabosstiff's dark color and intimidating appearance alongside its mafia theming could have been inspired by the {{wp|Cane Corso}} (an Italian mastiff), and it also seems to have traits derived from similar breeds such as the {{wp|Pyrenean Mastiff}} or the {{wp|Tibetan Mastiff}} (although the latter is not a real mastiff breed). Its friendly behavior around children and {{a|Guard Dog|Ability}} invoke the general image of {{wp|livestock guardian dog}}s, a type of dog known for their friendliness and bred to protect livestock from predators. Many livestock guardian dogs are mastiff breeds.

Mabosstiff's appearance, combined with its name, {{t|Dark}} type, and protective nature towards its family, may be derived from the archetypal looks and behaviors of leaders in organized crime families, such as the Italian {{wp|mafia}} and the Japanese {{wp|yakuza}}. It also slightly resembles an elderly person because of the grey eyebrows and fur on its head and back.

====Name origin====
Mabosstiff may be a combination of ''mafia'', ''mob'', ''boss'', and ''mastiff''.

Mafitiff may be a combination of ''mafia'' and ''mastiff''.

'''Maschiff''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オラチフ''' ''Orachifu'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Mabosstiff}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Maschiff is a brown, quadrupedal, canine Pokémon, with a dark gray snout and underside. It has a layer of thick fat under its skin that protects it from attacks. Its paws have four toes each. It has yellow tufts of fur on its head and back; the head fur makes the appearance of a crest. It also has a long, yellow, brushy tail. Its head has droopy triangular ears with yellow insides, and black beady eyes below two protuberances on its forehead that seemingly give it a constant anxious expression. Its snout contains a rounded triangular orange nose and a large mouth, with strong jaws and sharp fangs that can crush boulders.

Maschiff always tilts its head and makes a big scowl to appear threatening, although the display is highly ineffective even towards children. The Maschiff wears a grumpy expression as if to be taken seriously. Packs of Maschiff are said to be very close-knit.

===Evolution===
Maschiff evolves into {{p|Mabosstiff}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Maschiff seems to be based on a {{wp|puppy}} of the {{wp|mastiff}} breed of dogs, and more specifically the {{wp|Spanish Mastiff}}. The yellow fur on its back brings to mind youth or childhood, in contrast to the grey fur on its evolved form's back which brings to mind old age. The shape of the fur on its head resembles a {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}}, commonly associated with punk archetypes.

====Name origin====
Maschiff may be a combination of ''mastiff'' and ''mischief''.

Orachifu may be a combination of オラつく ''oratsuku'' (slang word to describe a rude or irreverent person) and マスチフ ''masuchifu'' (mastiff).

'''Ceruledge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソウブレイズ''' ''Soublades'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charcadet}} when exposed to a set of [[Malicious Armor]]. It is one of Charcadet's final forms, the other being {{p|Armarouge}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Ceruledge shorter blade.png|thumb|left|250px|Ceruledge's retracted blade]]
Ceruledge is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though some regions on its head, arms, and legs are dark blue. From each side of its head, a sharp pale blue protrusion extends outward, giving the impression of ears; from the back of its head, a blue and purple fire burns upward, resembling the plume on a knight's helmet. Its eyes have pink irises and wisps emanating from its white pupils. A plate with three pink indentations on its center covers its face. Instead of hands, Ceruledge wields purple-cyan blades created from both fire and spectral energy—specifically, the lingering regrets of the fallen. These blades can grow into great swords in battle, increasing Ceruledge's power in the process.<ref name=SVsite /> Almost all of Ceruledge's body is covered in an [[Malicious Armor|old set of purple and blue armor]].

Ceruledge is merciless and will do anything to win a battle. It prefers to do close-quarters combat, with a mix of sneak and surprise attacks. By using its quick speed to locate a foe's blind spots, it will then move closer before slashing them with its large swords. Any cuts from Ceruledge's swords will cause wounds that leak life energy, which the swords then absorb.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/ceruledge/ Ceruledge | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It can focus its bitter feelings into {{m|Bitter Blade|a fiery slashing attack}}, or imbue its sword strikes with {{m|Shadow Claw|darkness}} or {{m|Psycho Cut|magical energy}}. As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', the blades can emit heat even when retracted. Ceruledge is very loyal to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, pledging to protect and assist them. It is known to attack anyone who dares to show hostility towards its Trainer and will ruthlessly cut down the offender without a second thought.

Ceruledge is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Bitter Blade}}.

===Evolution===
Ceruledge evolves from {{p|Charcadet}} and is one of its final forms, the other being {{p|Armarouge}}.

==Trivia==
* Ceruledge and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231117163306/https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1725529436752326916 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on November 17, 2023 (archived).</ref>
* Ceruledge has the same base stat values as its counterpart {{p|Armarouge}}, but with their assignments reversed between HP and Speed, Attack and Special Attack, and Defense and Special Defense.

===Origin===
Ceruledge may be based on a possessed suit of armor. Its design could also be based on medieval heroic tales of European knights, specifically on the poem ''{{wp|Cantar de mio Cid|El Cantar de mio Cid}}''. The poem relates the legend of the Spanish knight {{wp|El Cid}}, known for wielding two famous swords, {{wp|Tizona}} and {{wp|Colada}}, and is said to have won his most important battle after death, which would explain Ceruledge's Ghost typing.

====Name origin====
Ceruledge may be a combination of ''{{wp|cerulean}}'' (a shade of dark blue), ''cruel'', and ''edge''.

Soublades may be a combination of 蒼 ''sō'' (azure) or ''soul'' and ''blades''. It may also involve ''blaze'' or レイス ''reisu'' (wraith).

'''Armarouge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グレンアルマ''' ''Gurenarma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charcadet}} when exposed to a set of [[Auspicious Armor]]. It is one of Charcadet's final forms, the other being {{p|Ceruledge}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Armarouge cannon.png|thumb|left|250px|Armarouge using its pauldrons as a cannon]]
Armarouge is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, with red colorations on its cylindrical legs and hands, the latter resembling oven mitts. Its head is also red, with yellow sharp "ears" protruding from either side. The top of its head is yellow and has a fire burning on top, resembling the plume on a knight's helmet. Its face is covered with a black mask with three holes at the center, and its eyes have red irises and wisps emanating from its yellow pupils. Armarouge's torso and shoulders are covered in an [[Auspicious Armor|old set of yellow and red armor]], along with levitating large yellow {{wp|pauldron}}s over its shoulders.

Armarouge's armor is said to have belonged to a distinguished warrior, and is the source of its psychic power. The armor allows Armarouge to control its inner fire energy and use attacks. Armarouge is loyal and believes in fighting fair, willing to fight head-on no matter how strong the foe is. It first focuses on using its sturdy armor for defense before using high firepower in order to take down opponents. When attacking, Armarouge moves its pauldrons to its hands and puts them together to form a cannon, which it uses to shoot {{m|Armor Cannon|blazing projectiles}}.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/armarouge/ Armarouge | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It is said to be very loyal to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, pledging to protect them. However, it is known to repeatedly leave on its own to train and strengthen its psychic energy.

Armarouge is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Armor Cannon}}.

===Evolution===
Armarouge evolves from {{p|Charcadet}} and is one of its final forms, the other being {{p|Ceruledge}}.

==Trivia==
* Armarouge and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231117163306/https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1725529436752326916 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on November 17, 2023 (archived).</ref>
* Armarouge's name was misspelled as "Arm'''o'''rouge" on the official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet website; specifically, in the section describing the move {{m|Armor Cannon}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/armarouge/ Earliest archive of Armarouge — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website] (September 7, 2022).</ref> This error has been corrected as of September 13, 2022.<ref name=SVsite/>
* Armarouge has the same base stat values as its counterpart {{p|Ceruledge}}, but with their assignments reversed between HP and Speed, Attack and Special Attack, and Defense and Special Defense.

===Origin===
Armarouge may be based on a possessed suit of armor. Its design could also be based on medieval heroic tales of European knights, as well as the idea of {{wp|chivalry}}. One specific point of origin may be the legend of the Spanish knight {{wp|Wilfred the Hairy|Guifré el Pilós}}, known for his golden armor and shield, on which was said the emperor {{wp|Charles the Bald}} painted with his fingers four red lines using the blood of the former, in honor of his bravery. This might explain the red colorations on Armarouge's armor and extremities.

Armarouge's ability to put its pauldrons together on its arms to form a cannon is reminiscent of depictions of arm cannons in fictional media. The shape the pauldrons take when in this form also resembles a {{wp|gas cylinder}}, a metal vessel that contains pressurized gases for uses such as combustion.

The [[Auspicious Armor]] required to evolve {{p|Charcadet}} into Armarouge may be inspired by ceremonial cannons cast from captured weapons and scrap metals, or cannons kept as {{wp|war trophies}} in early-modern warfare.

====Name origin====
Armarouge may be a combination of ''arma'' (Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian for weapon), ''armadura'' (Spanish and Portuguese for armor) or ''armatura'' (Italian for armor), and ''rouge'' (French for red).

Gurenarma may be a combination of 紅蓮 ''guren'' (crimson) and ''arma'', ''armadura'', or ''armatura''.

'''Charcadet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カルボウ''' ''Carbou'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Armarouge}} when exposed to a set of [[Auspicious Armor]] or {{p|Ceruledge}} when exposed to a set of [[Malicious Armor]].

==Biology==
Charcadet is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} said to have been born from burnt charcoal. Its body is mostly black, except for its torso and extremities, which are red; and its head, which, apart from the face, is orange with red colorations on the top and back. The head is large and has a fire-like plume above it, tipped with pink and dark blue colors. Charcadet's forehead is covered with a black plate-like mask with three holes at the center that becomes dark red while it attacks, and its eyes have wisps emanating from its red-and-yellow pupils. Charcadet's head is connected to its body by a very tiny neck. Its torso resembles a {{wp|tunic}}, with an orange protrusion at the front that seems to connect to its neck. Its hands and feet are cylindrical, and it has a fiery "cape" on its back. It has small, teardrop-shaped indents on its soles.

Charcadet has a fiery fighting spirit, and will {{pkmn|battle}} opponents tougher than itself. Its firepower increases as it fights, reaching temperatures of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius or 1,273 Kelvins). It enjoys eating {{Berries}} that are rich in fat. As revealed in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Charcadet lived in [[Paldea]]n lands since ancient times, where they formed bonds with [[human]]s because it was highly prized for its exceptional skill in manipulating flames. In the same episode, it is also said to have accompanied nobility and knights in the past. Charcadet's [[Evolution]] is influenced by old sets of armor: [[Auspicious Armor|one with auspicious wishes living within it]] and [[Malicious Armor|one with malicious will lurking within it]].

===Evolution===
Charcadet [[Evolution|evolves]] into either {{p|Armarouge}} or {{p|Ceruledge}}.

Charcadet debuted in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', where one quickly bonded with [[Pagogo|Terapagos]] at ancient [[Paldea]]n fort ruins. It reappeared in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Liko]]. It received a set of [[Auspicious Armor]] in [[HZ123]] and [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Armarouge}} in [[HZ124]].

====Minor appearances====

==Trivia==
* Charcadet and its [[Evolution]]s were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231117163306/https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1725529436752326916 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on November 17, 2023 (archived).</ref>
* Charcadet is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]] to have a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]].
* Charcadet was briefly shown in a pre-release trailer on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0 6 October 2022], though it remained officially unrevealed until the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
* In Japanese, Charcadet shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Simisear}} and {{p|Fletchinder}}, namely ひのこポケモン ''Hinoko Pokémon'' (Sparks Pokémon). For Charcadet specifically, the category can also be read as 火の子 ''hinoko'' (fire child), hence its English category.
* Charcadet is tied with {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, and {{p|Fuecoco}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Charcadet appears to be based on burning {{wp|charcoal}} and a {{wp|cadet}} or {{wp|squire}}, who are boys in training.

====Name origin====
Charcadet may be a combination of ''char'' (to burn), ''charcoal'', and ''cadet''.

Carbou may be a combination of ''carbón'' (Spanish for "charcoal"), ''{{wp|carbon}}'' (main constituent element of charcoal) and 坊 ''bō'' (boy).

'''Crobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クロバット''' ''Crobat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golbat}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]]. It is the final form of {{p|Zubat}}.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
[[File:CrobatSkyridge6.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Crobat hanging upside-down with their wings folded]]
Crobat is a purple, {{wp|bat|chiropteran}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a small, round body. It has long, pointed ears, yellow eyes with red pupils, and a small mouth that usually has its teeth bared. On its body are two pairs of wings: an upper pair that is slightly larger and a lower pair that developed from its hind legs. Both pairs have green-blue membranes, but the lower pair's membranes are only visible from the back. The upper wings have two claw-like fingers near the middle. On the bottom of its body are what appear to be a pair of stubby feet or tufts of fur.

Crobat is capable of flying long distances by alternating between its two sets of wings. The extra set of wings has also improved its flight speed without sacrificing its ability to fly silently. It can also travel through cramped caves without ever slowing. The combination of silent flight and sharp fangs allows it to bite down on prey without being noticed and drain their blood. If unable to consume blood, it becomes lethargic and unable to fly. Due to its lack of legs, it is clumsy on the ground and only able to crawl around with its wings. Crobat is rarely found in the wild, though it is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} or on tree branches, where it hangs upside-down by its rear wings. It is a nocturnal Pokémon.

===Evolution===
Crobat evolves from {{p|Golbat}} and is the final form of {{p|Zubat}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Brock's Crobat]]=====
In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'', {{an|Brock}}'s Crobat evolved from his Golbat, thus also marking the species' debut. After the [[Johto]] saga, he gave it to his younger brother [[Forrest]] but has since reclaimed it.

Suicune was able to see through this as well, however, due to the shadow cast by the real Crobat and Janine, and Crobat was frozen.

Crobat only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
''A Bat Pokémon that evolves from {{p|Golbat}}, Crobat's hind legs have evolved into a second pair of wings, which allows it to fly at great speeds but limits its ability to rest. The affection a Golbat has for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} is vital for the evolution process: if a novice Trainer has a Crobat, it shows that he or she cares for Pokémon well.''

==Trivia==
* Prior to its debut, Crobat's cry existed in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokemon Red/Blue's]] files and is one of the possible cries for [[MissingNo.|Missingno]].
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Crobat and its pre-[[Evolution|evolved]] forms. They are also the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon with a unique type combination.
** Crobat and its pre-evolved forms are the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Flying}}.
* Crobat and its pre-evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Crobat's color scheme is the reverse of {{p|Golbat}}'s. This also applies to its {{Shiny}} variation.
* Crobat's evolutionary line has several similarities with {{p|Swoobat}}'s. All of the members of both lines are based on bats and reach their respective final evolved form by [[friendship]].
* Crobat can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Noivern}}. Both are {{type|Flying}} Pokémon based on bats that have {{a|Infiltrator}} as a possible [[Ability]]. They have the same base stat total and the same base [[HP]], {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats.
* Although Crobat's Pokédex entries imply that its only pair of hindlegs have developed into wings, Crobat is sometimes depicted with an additional pair of tiny legs/feet.

===Origin===
Crobat seems to be based on a {{wp|bat}}, particularly {{wp|vampire bat}}s, which bite other animals to {{wp|Hematophagy|feed on their blood}}. It may also be inspired by mythological {{wp|vampires}}. Its extra set of wings may be based on the fact that a bat's front legs and hindlegs are connected by their {{wp|patagium}}, essentially incorporating all of their limbs into their wings. Its very high {{stat|Speed}} stat may be based on the {{wp|Mexican free-tailed bat}}, which purportedly has the fastest horizontal flight speed of any animal. Its {{t|Poison}} type may be inspired by either the {{wp|anticoagulant}} properties of vampire bat saliva or the fact that bats are infamous for spreading deadly diseases such as {{wp|rabies}}.

====Name origin====
Crobat may be a combination of ''cross'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Acrobatics|acrobat}}'' (referring to its agility in the air) and ''kuro'' (Japanese for black) referring to its darker coloration.

'''Golbat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルバット''' ''Golbat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Zubat}} starting at [[level]] 22 and evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Golbat is a large, blue, {{wp|bat|chiropteran}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit-like pupils, along with tiny triangular ears with purple insides, and a massive mouth with two fangs in each jaw. The fangs are smaller on a female Golbat. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. It has short legs with long, tiny feet. Despite this, Golbat can walk skillfully on the ground.

Golbat's fangs have hollow tubes (similar to straws) specialized for sucking blood. The sharp fangs of Golbat are capable of piercing even the hardest of hides. While they are strong enough to pierce thick hide, they are also unexpectedly fragile. There are some Golbat that have missing fangs as a result of their hunger-fueled attempt to try drinking blood from {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. Golbat feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 milliliters) of blood in one sitting. It is gluttonous, and drinks so much blood that its blood type will change to that of its victim following a feed. It occasionally gorges itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable in turn. However, it is also willing to share gathered blood with other members of its kind that are hungry. [[Koga's Golbat|One particular Golbat]] could utilize {{m|Supersonic}} to produce a magic mirror in its mouth for scrying to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Golbat is nocturnal and can be found quite easily in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Golbat and its evolutionary line.
** Golbat and Zubat are the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] and alongside Crobat the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to currently have a unique type combination.
** Golbat and its evolutionary line are the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Flying}}.
* Golbat and its evolutionary line share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* The depiction of Golbat's large tongue has been sporadic, having not appeared in any game in over a decade:
** The only [[core series]] games to depict its tongue were {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
** The last game to ever depict its tongue was [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Origin===
Golbat seems to be based on a {{wp|bat}}, particularly {{wp|vampire bat}}s, which bite other animals to {{wp|Hematophagy|feed on their blood}}. Its {{t|Poison}} type may be inspired by either the {{wp|anticoagulant}} properties of vampire bat saliva or the fact that bats are infamous for spreading deadly diseases such as {{wp|rabies}}. Its gaping maw could be a caricature of mythological {{wp|vampire}}s.

====Name origin====
Golbat may be a combination of ''gore'', ''{{wp|ghoul}}'', or ''gulp'' and ''bat''.

'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズバット''' ''Zubat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Zubat is a blue, {{wp|bat|chiropteran}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with two sharp teeth on each jaw. A male will have larger fangs than a female. It has purple wing membranes supported by two elongated fingers and two long, thin legs without feet.

Zubat lives in abundance in dark {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, although it has also been known to dwell in forests and under the eaves of old buildings. Due to its habitat, Zubat has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils. It instead navigates through dark environments and tight caves with {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}}, emitting ultrasonic cries to detect targets and obstacles. The frequency of these cries can vary slightly between Zubat colonies. As demonstrated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat to seek prey. Zubat is nocturnal and sleeps hanging upside down during the daytime, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy; prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and {{tp|Brock|trained Zubat|Crobat}} have been recorded as much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams. While sleeping, or in colder conditions, Zubat gathers for warmth with others of its kind.

===Evolution data===
Zubat [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]]. Golbat cannot evolve into Crobat in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} until the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its Evolution will be interrupted. Golbat also cannot evolve into Crobat in {{LGPE}}, as Crobat is not present in those games.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Zubat and its evolved forms.
** Zubat and Golbat are the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] and alongside Crobat the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to currently have a unique type combination.
** Zubat and its evolved forms are the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Flying}}.
* Zubat and its evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} with Woobat. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Zubat's evolutionary line has several similarities with {{p|Woobat}}'s.
** All of the members of both lines are called the Bat Pokémon (excluding {{p|Swoobat}}), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states.
** Members of both lines reach their respective fully evolved forms by [[friendship]] and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies).
** Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Zubat can also be seen as a parallel to {{p|Noibat}}, as they are both {{type|Flying}} Pokémon based on bats and can have {{a|Infiltrator}} as a possible [[Ability]]. They also share the same base stats, with their Attack and Special Attack switched around.
* Zubat has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Flying-type Pokémon, tying with {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Combee}}, and {{p|Pikipek}}.
* Despite its lack of eyes, Zubat is still capable of learning {{m|Mean Look}}.
* Due to its lack of eyes, Zubat is the only Pokémon in {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}} that does not bear glowing red eyes as an [[Alpha Pokémon]]. Additionally, it and {{p|Greavard}} are the only Pokémon in {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}} that don't bear glowing red eyes as Alpha Pokémon.
** It is also one of the few [[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Shadow Pokémon]] in {{g|GO}} that doesn't have red eyes, the other being Shadow {{p|Steelix}}.
* In order to highlight shortcomings in the review process for scientific papers, in 2020, entomologist Matan Shelomi submitted a paper titled "[[Cyllage City]] COVID-19 Outbreak Linked to Zubat Consumption" to a biomedical journal. Even though that paper rather obviously presents fabricated information, and was allegedly co-authored by fictional scientists like "Nasu Joy" of the Veterinary Virology department of Cyllage City Pokecenter, it was eventually published, before being removed shortly thereafter.<ref name="Bug Squad">[https://ucanr.edu/blog/bug-squad/article/matan-shelomi-era-fakenewspredatory-journals Matan Shelomi: In the Era of #FakeNews]</ref><ref name="">[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343066384_Cyllage_City_COVID-19_Outbreak_Linked_to_Zubat_Consumption "Cyllage City COVID-19 Outbreak Linked to Zubat Consumption" on ResearchGate]</ref><ref name="Scientist">[https://www.the-scientist.com/opinion-using-pokmon-to-detect-scientific-misinformation-68098 The Scientist: Opinion: Using Pokémon to Detect Scientific Misinformation]</ref>

===Origin===
Zubat seems to be based on a {{wp|bat}}, particularly {{wp|vampire bat}}s, which bite other animals to {{wp|Hematophagy|feed on their blood}}. Its {{t|Poison}} type may be inspired by either the {{wp|anticoagulant}} properties of vampire bat saliva or the fact that bats are infamous for spreading deadly diseases such as {{wp|rabies}}. Its lack of eyes could be a reference to {{wp|troglomorphism}} and may additionally be influenced by the misconception that bats are blind due to their use of {{wp|Animal echolocation|echolocation}} to navigate. The claim that Zubat will suffer burns when exposed to sunlight may be inspired by mythological {{wp|vampire}}s.

====Name origin====
Zubat may be a combination of ''bat'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'' (piercingly). Zubat also shares a name with the 1977 tokusatsu superhero series ''[[wp:Kaiketsu_Zubat|Kaiketsu Zubat]]''.

'''Swalot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルノーム''' ''Marunoom'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gulpin}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
Swalot is a tall, violet, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has red, beady eyes and yellow whiskers. A female Swalot has shorter whiskers than a male. It has puckered lips and can fit an automobile tire in its mouth. Its hands have three fingers. It has a single row of black rhombi running across its midsection, and it can expand and contract its body at will.

Swalot is capable of swallowing anything whole and can digest anything except its own stomach lining. It covers prey and opponents with a powerful poison. It likes eating poisoned and poisonous things. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Swalot sometimes sleeps with its mouth wide open.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "It sometimes falls asleep with its cavernous mouth wide open. Perhaps it's dreaming that it found a huge meal and is trying to swallow it whole."</ref> It is believed that Swalot is dreaming of a huge meal it is attempting to swallow whole. Swalot douses its opponents with a highly toxic fluid that it secretes from its follicles.
===Evolution===
Swalot evolves from {{p|Gulpin}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Swalot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 467.
* The illustrator of [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], uses Swalot to represent himself in the volume's comment boxes.

===Origin===
Swalot may be based on myriad organs or glands, such as a {{wp|stomach}}, a {{wp|gallbladder}}, or a single, giant poison gland. It may also be based upon a generic organism that uses {{wp|pseudopodia}}. Its general shape resembles a {{wp|slug}}. Alternatively, it may take inspiration from a trash bag.

Swalot may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Nuppeppo}}, a yōkai in Japanese folklore depicted as a blob with vestigial appendages. Other possibilities include ''{{wp|Physarum polycephalum}}'', sometimes referred to as the predatory slime mold, a reference to the sci-film {{wp|The Blob}}; single-celled {{wp|amoeba}}; or the {{wp|predatory tunicate}}.

====Name origin====
Swalot may be a combination of ''swallow'' and ''a lot''.

Marunoom may be derived from 丸呑み ''marunomi'' (swallowing whole).

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

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

==Biology==
Gulpin is a round, green, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like adornment on its head. A female has a shorter feather than a male. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its own size whole since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach.

The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything. When it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Gulpin is known to move its mouth while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex entry]]: "You often see Gulpin moving its mouth in its sleep. Since almost all its body is its stomach, it's said that when Gulpin sleeps with its mouth shut, that means it's digesting, and when its mouth is wide open, its stomach is empty."</ref>When Gulpin's mouth is closed, that means its digesting its food. If Gulpin's mouth is open, that means its stomach is empty.

===Evolution===
Gulpin evolves into {{p|Swalot}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In animation==
[[File:Rocket Prize Master Gulpin.png|thumb|right|250px|Gulpin {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Major appearances===
Multiple Gulpin debuted in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'', where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in. Because of this, [[Professor Jacuzzi]] made several efforts to stop them, but one such effort wound up [[Giant Pokémon|enlarging]] one of the Gulpin, as well as [[Ash's Treecko]]. While Treecko was restored to normal size, the Gulpin remained giant even after being [[Caught Pokémon|caught]].

In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', multiple Gulpin were living in the wetlands that [[Ash's Goodra]] was from. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', they watched {{an|Serena}}'s performance along with the rest of the wetland Pokémon. In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', they were seen when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a Gulpin was living at the [[Nebel Plateau]]. It was particularly close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose last act before departure was to hug it. As a result, Gulpin came to associate hugging with abandonment, which nearly strained its newly-formed relationship with Ash when he also hugged it. Later, it helped [[Clemont]] to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using {{m|Gastro Acid}}.

In ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll…]]'', {{TRT}}'s {{OBP|Pelipper|Team Rocket}} accidentally sent out multiple Gulpin from the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. They caused [[Goh]], Ash, and a variety of Pokémon to get stuck together in a large ball, causing trouble across [[Vermilion City]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', a Gulpin was an actor in one of [[Elijah]]'s movies.

In a flashback in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide!]]'', a disguised {{p|Scizor}} known as "Red Lightning" defeated a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Gulpin.

Multiple Gulpin appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'' and ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]''.

Four Gulpin appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]''.

A Trainer's Gulpin appeared in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

In ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', a Trainer's Gulpin was at the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]].

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', a Trainer's Gulpin joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

A Trainer's Gulpin appeared in ''[[JN122|It's Champion Time!]]''.

The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} rented a Gulpin, as seen in ''[[PS326|Lemme at 'Em, Lapras!]]''. It was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in [[PS327|the next chapter]].

[[Youssef]]'s Gulpin first appeared in [[PASV20]].

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Gulpin is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 302.
* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[mass outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Cipher Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, Gulpin's second main stage ([[Blau Salon|stage 419]]) has the highest overall [[Drop (Shuffle)|drop rates]] for [[List of items in Pokémon Shuffle#Personalized Skill Booster|personalized Skill Boosters]] among main stages.
** Its drop rates also surpass those of most [[special stage]]s, though it is matched by [[Great Challenge]] stages that cost 2 [[Currency (Shuffle)#Hearts|Hearts]]; and the [[Daily Pokémon]] stages that feature "winking" variants, which occur every 4 weeks. It is surpassed by most [[One Chance a Day]] stages, but only those that guarantee at least one personalized Skill Booster drop.

===Origin===
Gulpin, given its category, may be based on a {{wp|stomach}}, given its round amorphous shape and the digestive gases it produces. Gulpin may also be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores {{wp|gastric acid}}. Alternatively, it may take inspiration from a trash bag.

It also shares similarities with some {{wp|snake}} species known to swallow their prey whole, though its general shape resembles a {{wp|slug}}, or also a {{wp|sculpin}}, particularly the {{wp|grunt sculpin}}. Other possibilities include ''{{wp|Physarum polycephalum}}'', sometimes referred to as the predatory slime mold; single-celled {{wp|amoeba}}; or a reference to the sci-film {{wp|The Blob}}.

====Name origin====
Gulpin may be derived from ''gulping'', ''sculpin'' or ''gulp in''. It may also involve ''toxin''.

Gokulin may be derived from ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (in one gulp). It may also involve ''toxin''.

'''Garganacl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キョジオーン''' ''Kyojiohn'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Naclstack}} starting at [[level]] 38. It is the final form of {{p|Nacli}}.

==Biology==
Garganacl is a large, bipedal Pokémon primarily made up of {{a|Sturdy|compact}} rock salt and sedimentary rock. Its head has a rugged look and two eyes shaped like right angles. Each of the eyes are orange in color with yellow squares at their centers, and they can glow an orange-red. Garganacl's shoulders comprise tall three-stepped structures made up of blocks of white rock salt, below which its arms connect to. These stepped structures completely cover Garganacl's head from the sides. A taller block of salt is also present behind Garganacl's head.

Garganacl's arms and legs are rugged and blocky, and they are similar in appearance and length, with the arms reaching close to the ground due to their location on the body. The upper limbs are dark brown at the base, while the forelimbs are decorated in stripes of lighter brown, before ending in white. Garganacl's hands have three fingers each. Garganacl's torso is really short in comparison to its limbs; it is brown and about as large as its head, with a white block of rock salt on the pelvic area that its legs connect to. Square patches of salt dot the entirety of Garganacl's body. Garganacl's salt is rich in minerals and known to have medicinal properties. One of Garganacl's restorative elements from the salt is useful for maintaining one's health. Garganacl will scrape its fingertips together to share its salt with injured Pokémon, which can heal them quickly. Many Pokémon gather around Garganacl in hopes to lick up its salt.

Garganacl and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Naclstack}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Salt Cure}}. Garganacl and its pre-evolved forms are also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Purifying Salt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Garganacl evolves from {{p|Naclstack}} and is the final form of {{p|Nacli}}.

==Trivia==
* Garganacl's evolutionary line was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1604786117487853568 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===

Garganacl is based on {{wp|Halite|rock salt}} crystals and {{wp|Sedimentary rock|sedimentary layers}} of bedrock,<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1605483704565895170 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref> as evidenced by its arms and legs having the layered pattern of {{wp|Stratum|strata}}. Garganacl's physique resembles a large bipedal creature, perhaps specifically Hebrew {{wp|golem}}s given its role as a gentle earth-based creature. The structures on Garganacl's shoulders resemble a {{wp|ziggurat}} or a Canary pyramid like the {{wp|Pyramids of Güímar}}, although they could also reference how salt can form {{wp|hopper crystal}}s or pyramid crystals, which are often found in high-end brands of coarse salt. Garganacl's glowing eyes may be based on {{wp|Salt lamp|Himalayan salt lamps}}.

Garganacl being able to heal injured Pokémon with its salt may be a play on both the term "salt curing" (the word "cure" meaning to restore health, as well as to preserve food) and the idiom "[[wiktionary:rub salt in the wound|to rub salt in the wound]]", meaning to make worse an injury or ailment. It may also be inspired by historical and modern {{wp|saline (medicine)|medical uses for salt}}.

====Name origin====
Garganacl may be a combination of ''gargantuan'' and ''NaCl'' (chemical formula for {{wp|sodium chloride}}; table salt). It may also borrow from ''tabernacle''.

Kyojiohn may be a combination of 巨人 ''kyojin'' (giant), 塩 ''shio'' (salt), and ''geo-'' (prefix for earth).

'''Naclstack''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジオヅム''' ''Jiodumu'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nacli}} starting at [[level]] 24 and evolves into {{p|Garganacl}} starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Naclstack is a quadrupedal Pokémon whose body is made of rock salt. Its cubic head is white with a few cracks and two eyes in the shape of right angles. Each of the eyes are orange in color with yellow squares at their centers, and they can glow an orange-red. The head is connected to Naclstack's body; the upper half of the body consists of a brown cuboid stone at the front and a rugged, dark brown rock dotted with salt at the back, while the lower body is a single white cuboid. Naclstack's body doesn't connect to its legs and floats in place relative to them. The legs themselves are cube-shaped, with light brown on top and white at the bottom. Each of the cubes have a small brown stone on one of their corners, which seem to act as claws for the Pokémon.

Naclstack attacks by pressing the rock salt inside its body into hardened pellets, which it then shoots out with enough force to puncture an iron sheet. Naclstack also uses its salt to dry out and cure its prey. The forgetful Naclstack often loses track of its salt-cured prey. This absent-minded Pokémon frequently forgets the commands given by its Trainer. Naclstack leaves behind bits of salt on its footprints as it walks; these salt grains are gathered by people and [[Salt|used as seasoning]] for [[sandwich]]es.

Naclstack and its evolved form, {{p|Garganacl}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Salt Cure}}. Naclstack and its evolutionary relatives are also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Purifying Salt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Naclstack evolves from {{p|Nacli}} and evolves into {{p|Garganacl}}.

==Trivia==
* Naclstack's evolutionary line was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1604786117487853568 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref>
* Due to a duplicated entry in the spawner data in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Naclstack effectively has twice its programmed spawn weight; making the Pokémon more common than intended.
* Naclstack is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name contains the uncommon {{wp|yotsugana}} ヅ (''du'' or ''zu'').
** Similarly, {{p|Charjabug}}'s Japanese name (デンヂムシ ''Dendimushi'') is the only one that contains the uncommon yotsugana ヂ (''di'' or ''ji'').

===Origin===

Naclstack is based on {{wp|Halite|rock salt}} crystals and {{wp|Sedimentary rock|sedimentary layers}} of bedrock.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1605483704565895170 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref> Its shape resembles a quadrupedal animal. It may be loosely inspired by ancient {{wp|Iberian sculpture}}s like the {{wp|Bicha of Balazote}} or the {{wp|Sphinx of Agost}}, or the {{wp|verraco}} granite sculptures. It may also be based on a {{wp|ziggurat}} or a pyramid under construction. Naclstack's front body composition appears to be inspired by {{wp|voxel}} artwork. Its glowing eyes may be based on {{wp|Salt lamp|Himalayan salt lamps}}.

====Name origin====
Naclstack may be a combination of ''NaCl'' (chemical formula for {{wp|sodium chloride}}; table salt) and ''stack'', possibly in reference to {{wp|dry stone|dry stack}} (method of stone structure building that doesn't use mortar).

Jiodumu may be a combination of 塩 ''shio'' (salt), ''geo-'' (prefix for earth) or ''{{wp|geode}}'', and 積む ''tsumu'' (to stack).

'''Nacli''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コジオ''' ''Kojio'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Naclstack}} starting at [[level]] 24, which evolves into {{p|Garganacl}} starting at level 38.

==Biology==
Nacli is a Pokémon composed of rock salt. Its upper body is rugged and brown, with an off-white stripe circling it, while its lower body is a white salt cube with rectangular orange-yellow eyes that can glow red. A white salt cube is embedded on the top half of its body as well.

Nacli are born deep within the earth, inside layers of rock salt. Bits of salt are scraped off of Nacli as it travels the ground, although Nacli is able to create and replenish the salt inside its body. The rear corners of Nacli's lower body are rounded as a result of this scraping<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1663190119367720963 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref>. The trails left behind by Nacli have been called "salt roads" since ancient times. As revealed in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Nacli lived in [[Paldea]]n lands since ancient times, forming bonds with humans. In the same episode, it is also thought that Nacli used to help humans in warding off evil spirits for hundreds of years. In the past, it was treasured by people who would use its salt; even today, Nacli salt is still used in [[Sugar-N-Ice|foods such as ice cream]], because it has a gentle flavor.

Nacli and its [[Evolution]]s are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Purifying Salt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Nacli evolves into {{p|Naclstack}}, which evolves into {{p|Garganacl}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Nacli's evolutionary line was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1604786117487853568 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref>
* Nacli was briefly shown in a pre-release trailer on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0 6 October 2022] alongside {{p|Tandemaus}} and {{p|Squawkabilly}}, though it remained officially unrevealed until the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
* Nacli is tied with {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Rockruff}} for the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.

===Origin===

Nacli is based on a {{wp|Halite|rock salt}} crystal embedded in a small {{wp|sedimentary rock}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1605483704565895170 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref> Its body shape resembles mushrooms, particularly those of the ''{{wp|Agaricus bisporus}}'' variety. Considering that it originated underground, it might also draw inspiration from {{wp|truffles}}. Additionally, its mushroom shape may be a reference to {{wp|mushroom rocks}}, which are naturally occurring rock formations.

The scraping of its body along the ground leaving salt trails might be a literal interpretation of {{wp|salt road}}s, trade routes upon which salt was transported to foreign markets. Its glowing eyes may be based on {{wp|Salt lamp|Himalayan salt lamps}}.

====Name origin====
Nacli may be a combination of ''NaCl'' (chemical formula for {{wp|sodium chloride}}; table salt) and ''little'' or ''salty''. The ''-i'' at the end of its name may also refer to {{wp|iodine}}, a common element added to salt to prevent iodine deficiency.

Kojio may be a combination of 小 ''ko'' (small) or 子 ''ko'' (child), 塩 ''shio'' (salt), and ''geo-'' (prefix for earth).

'''Crabominable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケケンカニ''' ''Kekenkani'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Crabrawler}} when [[level]]ed up at [[Mount Lanakila]] or when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

Crabominable can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Crabominable''' using the [[Crabominite]]. Mega Crabominable was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Crabominable is a crustacean {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|Kiwa (crustacean)|yeti crab}}. Its body is ovoid and mostly covered in white fur, which is particularly fluffy under its mouth, around its shoulders, and near the tip of its pincers. Some parts of its body remain exposed, namely its face, chest, abdomen, the tip of its legs, and small, oval areas on its arms and back. The exposed areas on its chest, arms, abdomen, and back have a desaturated dark purple color, with the abdomen also having light blue stripes, and resemble developed, bulging muscles. Its face is blue, featuring two circular eyes with slanted black pupils and a large mouth with two blunt, square teeth always visible. On top of its head, there is a patch of yellow fur with two tufts extending upwards. It has three pairs of legs: the foremost one is the largest, segmented into three parts that grow in size as they distance from the body, and ends in a large, rounded, light blue pincer with a desaturated dark purple, pawprint-shaped marking on the tip, while the remaining pairs are shorter and end in a light blue tip.

Its [[Evolution]] and newly-developed fur are said to be the result of its adaptation to the bitter cold of snowy mountains after it got lost while attemping to climb one. Its pincers can store cold energy and, as seen in [[Pokémon Refresh]], are freezing to the touch; the same thing happens for the tips of its smaller legs. Crabominable is described as impulsive, with a tendency to act before thinking, but the blows it deals with its pincers are powerful enough to smash ice walls or halt avalanches. It moves about sluggishly and, to counteract this, fires icy bubbles from its mouth to freeze its opponents in place. In desperate times, it can even fire off its pincers like rockets at opponents. The detached pincers are said to have a delicious taste, and some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s even venture into the mountains with {{p|Lechonk}} just to find them.

Prior to [[Generation IX]], Crabominable was the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Ice Hammer}}.

===Forms===
Crabominable can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Crabominable.
[[File:Mega Crabominable walking claws.png|250px|thumb|right|Mega Crabominable using its pincers to move forward]]
As a result of Mega Evolution, Mega Crabominable has grown significantly bulkier. Despite this, it now stands only on its rearmost pair of legs, which have been encased in a long, sharp, blue icicle. The fur near the tip of its pincers has turned a desaturated dark purple, and the tips themselves have been covered in a dense layer of ice with five spikes, similar to a {{wp|Mace (bludgeon)|mace}}. Crabominable's patch of yellow hair has turned mostly white, with only some highlights and a single tuft being yellow, and grown in all directions over its head, including over its face, which is obscured in darkness with only its glowing eyes visible. The hair also extends down its back, reaching all the way to the tip of its rearmost legs. Mega Crabominable has longer fur under its shoulders and chest, as well as completely blank eyes.

Mega Crabominable is powerful enough to pulverize reinforced concrete with just a light swing of its ice-covered pincers. It can also use its pincers to help it move forward along with its powerful legs. In case two Mega Crabominable meet, the ensuing battle poses a potential risk of destroying the area where they engage in combat.
