Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick
|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]]}}

|desc=[[File:SubstituteStadium.png|right|90px]]While the {{m|Substitute}} doll originally looked similar to {{p|Rhydon}}, the design evolved over time to a more neutral design. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', its trophy description points out that, while it looks and gets attacked like a Pokémon, it is not actually one. The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|type1=Water
|img=080Slowbro.png
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|desc={{main|Shellder (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowbro (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowking (Pokémon)}} 
According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

|desc=[[File:115Kangaskhan.png|right|130px]][[File:115Kangaskhan-Mega.png|right|130px]]{{main|Kangaskhan (Pokémon)}} 
Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother's body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby leaves its pouch and is capable of fighting alongside its mother, thanks to Mega Kangaskhan's Ability {{a|Parental Bond}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|desc=[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|right|130px]]{{main|Raikou (Pokémon)}} {{main|Entei (Pokémon)}} {{main|Suicune (Pokémon)}} {{main|Legendary beasts}} 
It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Brass Tower]] by {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower, the fire that burned the tower down, and the rain that put it out. While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' showed that they were three, nameless Pokémon.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Bones worn by Vullaby and Mandibuzz
|type1=Dark

|desc=[[File:629Vullaby.png|right|120px]][[File:630Mandibuzz.png|right|130px]]{{main|Vullaby (Pokémon)}} {{main|Mandibuzz (Pokémon)}} 
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Original Tao trio dragon
|type1=Dragon
|img=Tao trio.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc={{main|Reshiram (Pokémon)}} {{main|Zekrom (Pokémon)}} {{main|Kyurem (Pokémon)}} {{main|Tao trio}} 
According to one legend, Reshiram and Zekrom were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Original Genesect
|type1=Bug
|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Void Shadows
|type1=Unknown

|epnum=Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
|epname=Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
|desc={{main|Void Shadows}} 
Void Shadows inhabit the [[Voidlands]] and will consume any Pokémon they encounter and are capable of shapeshifting into any Pokémon. Being minions of [[Dark Matter]], the Void Shadows do not seem to have an individual personality. However, they seem to be akin to {{p|Ditto}} in that they can act as if they were another Pokémon; for example, one of them disguises itself as {{p|Bunnelby}}. While they do not seem to be much in the way of speech, they are very aggressive to the player and their partner; going as far as to take on the form of a {{me|Tyranitar}} and a pair of {{me|Gengar}} as a means to stop them from returning to their world—they are even willing to kill them to stop them. Unlike other Pokémon, their character portrait is obscured by static, much like that of Dark Matter.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|type1=Unknown

|epname=Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
|desc={{main|Dark Matter}} 
Dark Matter is a living lifeform that is trying to send all Pokémon to the [[Voidlands]] and to return the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}} to the void. It can be fought after clearing [[Tree of Life: Trunk]]. Although Dark Matter is not considered to be a real Pokémon, it can use moves against Pokémon and can give itself a random type.}}

|epname=The Puzzle of Pokémopolis
|desc=The only known information about this creature is from its brief appearance in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. It seems to be a bear with decorative markings covering its body. Since markings like this are also present on the other Pokémopolis Pokémon featured in the episode like {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Alakazam}}, it is unlikely to have been a normal feature.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Unnamed arachnid
|type1=Bug
|img=Unknown Arachnid.png
|epnum=EP138
|epname=The Superhero Secret
|desc=This creature made its sole appearance in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. Its thorax has eight long, brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

[[Professor Oak]] descibes it as an "ancient Pokémon [[fossil]] [or] artifact". 
It is similar to the Clay Doll Pokémon {{p|Baltoy}} and {{p|Claydol}} and thus may have been based on ''{{wp|Dogū|shakōki-dogū}}'', clay figurines from the {{wp|Jōmon period}} of Japanese history.}}

Necrozma is a vaguely humanoid Pokémon whose body appears to be constructed out of a black crystalline material. The black color is a result of impurities building up within it as a result of its deep slumber. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which has a row of three large spikes along the top and is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a star in the center. Its face is actually a prism-like object known as the brain prism, which possesses a collection of multicolored shapes that resemble eyes. While absorbing light, this brain prism glows white.<ref>[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]</ref> Its torso resembles a dragon head, with its arms going through the eye sockets of the dragon. Its thin arms have disproportionately large hands with three claws. Jutting out of the back of each hand is a whitish crystal that darkens toward the tip, and each elbow has a hook-like spike. Two large spikes jut from each shoulder and there is a row of smaller spikes along each side of its body. Its feet have three hook-like toes each.

Necrozma can take control of {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} by fusing with them, allowing it to assume its '''Dusk Mane Necrozma''' or '''Dawn Wings Necrozma''' forms, respectively. Because Necrozma is forcibly absorbing their limitless energy produced by their light, Solgaleo and Lunala are constantly glowing in a manner similar to their Radiant Sun and Full Moon phases while fused. In both cases, the host's body is covered in parts of Necrozma's body, which is arranged like armor.

Dusk Mane Necrozma has armor around its paws, head, and sides. Necrozma's tail splits into two and attaches to the sides of Solgaleo's torso and its large claws extend from Solgaleo's back. The front feet have five black claws attached to it with two V-shaped crystals on top of it while the back foot has only three claws. It has a triangular helmet with a long, thin antenna on each side and Necrozma's brain prism prominently displayed. Solgaleo's own eyes and nose are visible as bright, blue lights. The host's tail gains a three black spikes attached to each other, as well as three spikes under the chin. A structure similar to one of Necrozma's legs extends from its back. Using the armor on its chest, it is able to propel itself by shooting black light.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-8.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Dusk Mane Solgaleo]</ref>

Dawn Wings Necrozma has armor around its torso, head, and certain parts of its wings and tail. It also has a triangular helmet with the brain prism visible, as well as Lunala's own eyes visible as glowing pink lights. Necrozma's arms extend from the center of its chest. The armor surrounding its body has two large spikes jutting up from around its shoulders and four, glowing pink lights in the center. On its lower back are two thin, antennae-like growths extending downward. A structure similar to Necrozma's tail extends from the center of its back, and like its Dusk Mane form, can be used as a form of propulsion. There are eleven crystalline spikes attached around the body, four each on the wings, and three on Lunala's tail. These spines are capable of firing dark energy.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-9.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Dawn Wings Lunala]</ref>

Once it absorbs enough light, Necrozma can undergo a process called [[Ultra Burst]] to reclaim its true form: '''Ultra Necrozma''', a colossal dragon of pure light energy. Its size makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Psychic}}. The various pieces of Necrozma's crystalline body are rearranged as a sort of "skeleton" for the rest of Ultra Necrozma's body. These pieces take on a golden glow from the light, but return to black without it. Its head is surrounded by several spikes and a pair of small wings, which causes it to resemble an eight-pointed star; there is also a small, lighter eight-pointed star on the back of its head. Its face is armored and has multicolored {{wp|Heterochromia iridum|heterochromic}} eyes; the left eye is primarily red, while the right is mainly blue. It has two pairs of wings: one around its shoulders and one around its hips. While the wings themselves are made of light, the arm portions are made of its former legs and shoulders, respectively. Its former arms now cover its lower legs, and what was once its tail covers its chest. Finally, it has a long tail with a row of spikes along the top. Ultra Necrozma's body temperature exceeds 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,540 degrees Celsius); anything that it touches will melt from the extreme heat. It can fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these lasers can reach over 18 miles away, burning through everything in their path.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-17.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Ultra Necrozma]</ref> As seen in the [[SM089|anime]], when Necrozma uses up all its light it enters into a deep slumber unless it absorbs more light.

Necrozma originates from [[Ultra Space]] and is capable of opening and traveling through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. In [[Ultra Megalopolis]], it is known as the "Blinding One" (Japanese: '''{{tt|かがやきさま|Kagayaki-sama}}''' ''Radiant One''). It once had the ability to give light, but lost this ability after being injured by ancestors of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] in an attempt to steal its light; [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] theorize that the [[Sparkling Stone]]s used to perform Z-Moves are fragments of Necrozma's body that it lost upon this injury. In its incomplete state, Necrozma suffers constant pain and displays immense hostility. In an effort to restore itself to its original state, Necrozma steals light from other places and beings. Absorbing light helps Necrozma survive and stay active. This behavior caused it to be feared as the "pillager of light" in ancient Alola. When fused to either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}, it becomes more vicious to the point of going on an uncontrollable rampage. As a result, Necrozma brutally attacks foes with either its claws or lasers on anything it sees as a foe along with a desire to burn the world. Necrozma's lasers can cut through anything. When Necrozma absorbs light from a world, that world becomes shrouded in darkness until the stolen light is returned.

Necrozma is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Prismatic Laser}} and {{m|Photon Geyser}}, the latter of which can be upgraded into the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}} while in its Ultra Necrozma form. Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma can also learn {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}'s signature moves {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, respectively, and upgrade them into their exclusive Z-Moves {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Necrozma anime.png|thumb|250px|Necrozma in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma|Necrozma (anime)}}====
Necrozma physically debuted in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]''. It was an antagonist in an arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' involving {{AP|Poipole}}'s home world until ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it was restored back to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}} when given Ultra Aura by the people of Alola. Its Ultra Beast codename, '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black''), was given in the anime only.

===Minor appearances===
{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}} debuted in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', during a fantasy. [[Acerola]] showed {{Ash}} a book containing a legend detailing the origins of [[Alola]], in which Ultra Necrozma, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and {{p|Lunala}} first brought light to the [[region]]. The ancient people dubbed Necrozma, who shined the brightest out of all three, the "Blinding One". {{TRT}} also heard the story and contacted {{an|Giovanni}} about it, only to find out from [[Matori]] that he already knew of Necrozma and ended the transmission, much to their surprise.

Necrozma first appeared in [[PASM25]], emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] at the [[Poni Altar]] and possessing {{p|Solgaleo}} to become its Dusk Mane form. It then grabbed {{adv|Sun}} and dragged him into the wormhole with it, forcing {{adv|Moon}} and [[Nebby|Lunala]] to chase after them. It is worshiped by the people of the [[Ultra Megalopolis]] as the "Blinding One".

When Necrozma is fused, it tries to learn a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. If Necrozma changes to its normal form, it immediately forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Necrozma knows is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Confusion}}.

** It is the only member to have its own exclusive Z-Move and [[Z-Crystal]] (Solgaleo and Lunala share theirs with Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively).
** It is the only member without a pre-evolved form.
** It is the only member to have more than one signature [[Ability]], as it has two.
** It is the only member with multiple [[signature move]]s.
** It is the only member with a [[base stat]] that is not a {{wp|prime number}} (Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma's {{stat|Speed}} stats).

* Necrozma has the [[List of Pokémon by shape|most shapes]] of all Pokémon with a total of four between its different forms.
* Necrozma's status as an [[Ultra Beast]] differs between media.
** In the [[core series]] games, Necrozma is not an Ultra Beast. [[Beast Ball]]s are ineffective against it and regular Poké Balls are normally effective against it. Additionally, Necrozma's Pokémon Sun Pokédex entry and [[Dulse]] clarify that it is similar to the Ultra Beasts, but not one of them.
** In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it, alongside the other members of the [[Light trio]] and their pre-evolved forms, are referred to as Ultra Beasts before their true identities are discovered. Necrozma is given the codename of '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').
** In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Necrozma is considered an Ultra Beast, with Beast Balls being used to attempt and eventually succeed in catching it.
** In the TCG, Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma are classified as {{TCG|Ultra Beast}}s, while its base form is not.
** In [[Pokémon Duel]], all forms of Necrozma are considered Ultra Beasts.
** In [[Pokémon HOME]], Necrozma is not registered as a species of Ultra Beast.
* Necrozma is fought three times in the main story of a core series game, more than any other Legendary Pokémon.
* Necrozma has access to the most exclusive [[Z-Crystal]]s with a total of three.
* As seen in the climax of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Necrozma is able to fuse with Solgaleo and Lunala without the need for [[N-Solarizer]] or [[N-Lunarizer]], and can use [[Ultra Burst]] without the [[Ultranecrozium Z]].
* Necrozma's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 Attack and 2 Special Attack is unique.

===Origin===
Necrozma could be based on the concept of {{wp|prism}}s and {{wp|light refraction}}. It may also incorporate similarities, both literal and symbolic, to {{wp|black dwarf}}s, {{wp|black hole}}s, or {{wp|neutron star}}s.

Necrozma's Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms may be based on the concept of {{wp|Solar eclipse|solar}} and {{wp|lunar eclipse}}s, respectively. The forms' alternate names in Japanese, 日食 ''nisshoku'' (solar eclipse) and 月食 ''gesshoku'' (lunar eclipse) can also be literally translated as "eating the sun/moon", reflecting how Necrozma absorbs Solgaleo or Lunala to assume those forms. Its Ultra Necrozma form may be based on {{wp|giant star}}s or {{wp|supernova}}e. Design-wise, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma retain Solgaleo's {{wp|lion}} and Lunala's {{wp|bat}} bases, respectively, while Ultra Necrozma resembles a four-winged {{wp|wyvern}}. The fact that Necrozma transforms into a {{type|Dragon}} could be based on legends about the {{wp|Moʻo}}.

====Name origin====
Necrozma may be a combination of νεκρός ''nekrós'' (Ancient Greek for ''dead''), 黒 ''kuro'' (black), and πρῖσμα ''prîsma'' (Ancient Greek for ''prism''). It may also involve {{wp|Project Ozma}}, an experiment made to search for extraterrestrial life.

'''Regidrago''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジドラゴ''' ''Regidrago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

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

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regieleki}}.

==Biology==
Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like Pokémon with parts of a dragon's mouth as arms. It has a dark red body with a blue dot pattern on its face that resembles a capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. The right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, while the left arm is shaped like a bottom jaw with dark red coloration underneath both arms. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back. Its body can glow pink when attacking.

Due to its body being formed by crystallized dragon energy, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful {{type|Dragon}} moves of all Pokémon. The energy is said be the most dense in its central core. According to legend, Regidrago was created by {{p|Regigigas}} using crystallized dragon energy, but it ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head. It was sealed away in a temple due to the ancient people fearing the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed. It is capable of floating. Regidrago can fire an attack made by intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/</ref>

Regidrago is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Dragon Energy}}.

==Trivia==

* At 2.1 m (6'11"), Regidrago is the tallest Legendary titan. The second tallest is {{p|Registeel}}, at 1.9 m (6'03").

===Origin===
Regidrago may be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends.

Regidrago also appears to be based on a dragon head and a crystal ball or a pearl held by an {{wp|Asian dragon}}.

The [[Legendary titans]] may be collectively themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the {{wp|Dark Ages}}.

====Name origin====
Regidrago may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''dragon''.

'''Cramorant''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウッウ''' ''Uu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Flying|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Cramorant can [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Cramorant|change forms]] with its {{a|Gulp Missile}} [[Ability]].

==Biology==
Cramorant is a blue bird Pokémon resembling a cormorant. It has bright green, large, circular eyes with small pupils and a large, thin yellow beak. It has a ruff of light gray feathers that goes around its torso and sticks out at the back, making them resemble a bib. Its tail feathers have a small dot-shaped marking of this same shade of gray. It has a ruff of feathers on its head, with the largest clump pointing backwards and being surrounded by small singular feathers. Its feet are black, webbed, and have three toes. Its wings seem to be perpetually extended.

Cramorant is a gluttonous Pokémon that can swallow other Pokémon whole. Its preferred prey are {{p|Arrokuda}}, but sometimes it swallows other Pokémon such as {{p|Pikachu}}, attempting to spit them out if they realise their mistake. Cramorant are also rather unintelligent as they can't remember which Pokémon they fight in mid battle, but never forget trainers that they trust. However, they try to attack their trainers if they steal food from them.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/cramorant/</ref>

==Trivia==
* Cramorant's Japanese name, ウッウ ''U'u'', is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
* A [[Shiny]] Cramorant will not have a Shiny Arrokuda or Pikachu in its Gulping or Gorging Form, but a regular Arrokuda or Pikachu. It has not been observed for a Cramorant to ever catch a Shiny Arrokuda or Pikachu.

===Origin===
Cramorant may be based on two common seabirds present in the British Isles, the {{wp|cormorant}} and the {{wp|fulmar}}, a bird that uses {{wp|defensive vomiting}} to turn away predators; inspiration from the latter may also justify its primary flying type, as like most petrels fulmars spend most of their lives on the wing. Its ability may also draw inspiration from {{wp|cormorant fishing}}, an ancient fishing technique that consists of using trained cormorants to fish and forcing the bird to spit the fish up. The plumage on its neck may be inspired by {{wp|Bib (garment)|bibs}}.

====Name origin====
Cramorant may be a combination of ''cram'' and ''cormorant''.

Uu may be a combination of ウッ ''u~'' (sound of choking or gasping) and 鵜 ''u'' (cormorant).

Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick
|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]]}}

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', its trophy description points out that, while it looks and gets attacked like a Pokémon, it is not actually one. The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes.}}

|img=080Slowbro.png
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|desc={{main|Shellder (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowbro (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowking (Pokémon)}} 
According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother's body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is leaves its pouch and is capable of fighting alongside its mother, thanks to Mega Kangaskhan's Ability {{a|Parental Bond}}.}}

It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Brass Tower]] by {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower, the fire that burned the tower down, and the rain that put it out. While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' showed that they were three, nameless Pokémon.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

|desc={{main|Reshiram (Pokémon)}} {{main|Zekrom (Pokémon)}} {{main|Kyurem (Pokémon)}} {{main|Tao trio}} 
According to one legend, Reshiram and Zekrom they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}

|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions

|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

Void Shadows inhabit the [[Voidlands]] and will consume any Pokémon they encounter and are capable of shapeshifting into any Pokémon. Being minions of [[Dark Matter]], the Void Shadows do not seem to have an individual personality. However, they seem to be akin to {{p|Ditto}} in that they can act as if they were another Pokémon; for example, one of them disguises itself as {{p|Bunnelby}}. While they do not seem to be much in the way of speech, they are very aggressive to the player and their partner; going as far as to take on the form of a {{me|Tyranitar}} and a pair of {{me|Gengar}} as a means to stop them from returning to their world—they are even willing to kill them to stop them. Unlike other Pokémon, their character portrait is obscured by static, much like that of Dark Matter.}}

|desc=This creature made its sole appearance in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. Its thorax has eight long, brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

== Archetype articles ==

Thanks so much for the work you've done on them. {{TCG|ZPST}}, {{TCG|Durant Mill}}, etc. all look great. One minor comment, though. Attack names should be italicized rather than bolded. For instance, ''Bolt Strike'' rather than '''Bolt Strike'''. I know some of the older archetype articles have it the latter way, and you probably did it because you were basing it off one of those. I'll fix it within the next few days, but in the future try basing all your archetype articles off of {{TCG|LuxChomp}}'s formatting.

Moving articles requires staff approval. If you want to suggest a move, you must bring it up on the talk page first and get approval. Don't just move the article without approval. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:52, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
:Thanks, wasn't aware that moving a page on Bulbapedia had stricter requirements than on Wikipedia. The move page just says "This can be a drastic and unexpected change for a popular page; please be sure you understand the consequences of this before proceeding." so it would be helpful to put the Bulbapedia policy there, although I can imagine that editing that sort of special page could be more difficult.

===Awrite, but...===
Most of things here aren't even supposed to be Pokemon. Come on, adding here every single statue? For instance, those Dragon-like statue merely represent Dragon-types. They aren't supposed to be a depiction of any specific living Pokemon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:14, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

::Furthermore, I'd also remove the fairy (it's humanoid, how could this be a Pokemon? Also, it's from a fairy tale, it's not even a real thing. Its similarity to Beautifly is nothing but opinionated fanwank) and the sun (it's not even supposed to be the living thing. It's just... a sun, just artistically represented. The simialrity to Solrock is superficial and based on colors only. When you look closer, you'll see that it's flowery in design).

:::I agree that the relation to Solrock and Beautifly are unsubstantiated and irrelevant, there's no way Nintendo would be using [[M03]] as a place to debut 'prototype' third generation Pokemon.

==Honoguma==
It is in fact much *less* likely to be Honoguma if it was revealed around the same time because early prototypes and final prototypes would never get released at the same time, that would be like releasing a prototype Pokemon and the final version simultaneously. It is vastly more likely to be related to Teddiursa as it was released around the same time as the development of Gold and Silver.

::The bear does not have a much stronger resemblace to Honoguma than Teddiursa. It seems obvious that Teddiursa and the artifact are vastly similar, ears, colour, face etc, while Honoguma has none of these similarities, only 'bear' in its name.

I'm not sure these count- the former might be Pokemon that're just hard to recognise in that manga's style, and the latter might just be generic non-Pokemon butterflies. What do you guys think?

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

2020-06-30T15:56:04Z

Enervation: Add Cramorant image

{{incomplete}}
{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick
|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]]}}

The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes.}}

|img=080Slowbro.png
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green Versions
|desc={{main|Shellder (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowbro (Pokémon)}} {{main|Slowking (Pokémon)}} 
According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother's body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is leaves its pouch and is capable of fighting alongside its mother, thanks to Mega Kangaskhan's Ability {{a|Parental Bond}}.}}

It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Brass Tower]] by {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower, the fire that burned the tower down, and the rain that put it out. While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' showed that they were three, nameless Pokémon.}}

|desc=[[File:629Vullaby.png|right|120px]][[File:630Mandibuzz.png|right|130px]]{{main|Vullaby (Pokémon)}} {{main|Mandibuzz (Pokémon)}} 
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

According to one legend, Reshiram and Zekrom they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}

{{TrainerPoké

|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

Void Shadows inhabit the [[Voidlands]] and will consume any Pokémon they encounter and are capable of shapeshifting into any Pokémon. Being minions of [[Dark Matter]], the Void Shadows do not seem to have an individual personality.

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

Enervation: Undo revision 3201518 by Team Rocket Grunt (talk) Red's Pokémon is not known to be Bug-type

{{incomplete}}
{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it.

According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

Enervation: Undo revision 3022364 by GrammarFreak01 (talk) Add back Cramorant fish

{{incomplete}}
{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed.

==List of disputed Pokémon==
===In the games===
{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick
|type1=Unknown
|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc= In Pokémon Red and Green there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]]}}

|desc=While the {{m|Substitute}} doll originally looked similar to {{p|Rhydon}}, the design evolved over time to a more neutral design. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', its trophy description points out that, while it looks and gets attacked like a Pokémon, it is not actually one. The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes.}}

In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve Slowpoke into Slowbro or Slowking. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body; essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.}}

Kangaskhan carries around a little blue baby Kangaskhan in their pouch. The baby Kangaskhan lacks the ridges and patches on its mother's body, and its small fangs are not visible outside of its mouth. Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is capable of {{a|Parental Bond|fighting alongside its mother}}.}}

It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Brass Tower]] by {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower, the fire that burned the tower down, and the rain that put it out. While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' showed that they were three, nameless Pokémon.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. According to [[Ghetsis]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Kyurem}} is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon.}}

|img=Genesect fossil.png
|epnum=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|epname=Pokémon Black and White Versions
|desc=[[File:649Genesect.png|right|130px]]{{main|Genesect (Pokémon)}} 
While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. Its thorax has eight long, brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it.

According to the Pokédex and in the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro or Slowking via Shellder. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve, it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. Mega Slowbro has the Shellder engulf most of Slowbro's body, essentially making it a shell for Mega Slowbro.

Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch. As part of Kangaskhan's [[Mega Evolution]], however, the baby is leaves its pouch and is capable of fighting alongside its mother, thanks to Mega Kangaskhan's Ability {{a|Parental Bond}}.}}

But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. A different narrative is told by [[Ghetsis]] and [[Drayden]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}: when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, Kyurem, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, respectively, using [[DNA Splicers]].}}

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

Enervation: Update intro

{{incomplete}}
{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals, see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

|desc=In Pokémon Red and Green, there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it.

In Galar, it clamps onto the regional Slowpoke's arm and causes a poisonous reaction.

They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower, the fire that burned the tower down, and the rain that put it out. While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' showed that they were three, nameless Pokémon.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. According to [[Ghetsis]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Kyurem}} is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon.}}

While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, and as the skeletal systems for the majority of Pokémon have yet to be revealed, it is unknown if they are meant to be the bones of a specific Pokémon. However, the skull that Vullaby wears as a diaper is similar to a human skull, which may indicate that the bones are from a Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.}}

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. According to [[Ghetsis]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Kyurem}} is what is left of the original dragon Pokémon.}}

While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it will [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change type]] when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration. According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms.

Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed, make certain things vanish into thin air, or to halt time.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Arceus (M12)]]====
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the land. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

====Other====
Arceus made a cameo appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.

===In the movie adaptations===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}}
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''.
{{-}}

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon in game. It uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.

====Trophy information====
''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]].

==Trivia==

[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* In the Generation IV games, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no ??? [[Plate]].
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard ''c'' instead of a soft ''c''}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Arceus was the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 720 and the only Pokémon that is the last of its [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that does not have a base stat total of 600.
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]].
** Arceus is also the only trio master of two different trios, being the master of both the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In its debut generation of [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling since they could not gain [[experience]].
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the "void".

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]'' (most extreme, highest), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]'' (Latin for ''secret, mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), ''arcessere'' (Latin for ''to summon''), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane).

Poké Ball

Enervation: /* Introduced in Generation III */ added that Dive Balls have a 3.5× catchrate while Surfing or fishing in ORAS (see https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/229281/when-are-dive-balls-extra-effective)

{{Featured|May 9, 2007}}
[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|The 27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|right|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of all three [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==History==
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]] and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]].

According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]] which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. Additionally, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, a player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a trial site until the trial has been cleared.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|fused]] with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle beginning in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 27 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball in which case the Pokémon will be in a Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or genderless Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto will inheret the father's ball as well and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mothers or father's ball.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is only available in Generations I, III, and IV. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the last, which is not made from Apricorns, is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball, since is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Generation IV, none of these Poké Balls can be held due to not existing in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

In Generation VII, only one of each ball (barring the Sport Ball) can be obtained, either on [[Mount Hokulani]] or from [[Samson Oak]], but they cannot be sold.

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

}}

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], when a player "speaks" to a Pokémon, a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

===Introduced in Generation VII===
Much like in [[Generation V]], only one new type of Poké Ball was introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]: the Beast Ball, specifically designed to catch [[Ultra Beast]]s. Other Poké Balls (except the Master Ball) will only work as well as a standard Poké Ball when used against [[Ultra Beast]]s{{fact}}. Conversely, Beast Balls are barely effective against Pokémon other than Ultra Beasts, only being 10% as effective as a regular Poké Ball. Beast Balls were apparently developed by [[Faba]], building on the work of a predecessor.

In addition, the Apricorn Balls are once again available in Generation VII, although only one of each can be obtained per game without trading.

==In other games==
===Pokémon GO===
Using Poké Balls in [[Pokémon GO]] is a more detailed process than in most other games. The primary factor is the player's aim. The player must press their finger on the ball, move it, and release it in order to throw the ball. The ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so if the player moves their finger too far or too quickly, the ball can go past the Pokémon, or the ball can fall short or go to either side if the player otherwise misjudges.

So long as a thrown ball hits a Pokémon's model, the game will attempt to capture it, in much the same random process influenced by the ball type (Poké Ball, Great Ball, or Ultra Ball) as in the core games. A shrinking colored circle over the Pokémon indicates how easy the Pokémon will be to catch (given the type of ball currently being used), with green being easiest and red being hardest; usually this corresponds to the Pokémon's {{DL|Statistic|CP}} (higher being harder). Hitting the Pokémon is complicated by the Pokémon's actions, however. Pokémon may randomly jump or move around the area, potentially making a throw miss, or they may make an attack that temporarily makes them invulnerable to capture.

Two factors can also improve the chances of catching a Pokémon based on the player's technique. One is aiming for the shrinking colored circle over the Pokémon. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a bonus depending on how small the circle was (a "nice throw" when at its widest, a "great throw" if somewhat smaller, and an "excellent throw" when at its smallest sizes). When the circle shrinks to nothing, it resets to its widest and continues to shrink again. The other factor is throwing a curve ball. If the player spins the ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain that spin and can curve left or right when thrown (depending on the direction it was spun).

Using Berries can also help the player catch a Pokémon. The player can select a Berry (if they have any) with the button in the lower-left corner of the screen. Only one Berry can be used at a time and if the Pokémon breaks out of a thrown ball, the Berry's effect will disappear. A [[Razz Berry]] will improve the chances of the Pokémon being caught (which may be reflected in the color of the shrinking circle); a Golden Razz Berry will increase the chances by a greater amount. A [[Nanab Berry]] will cause the Pokémon to move and attack less, making it easier to hit. A [[Pinap Berry]] will double the amount of of [[Candy]] the player receives if it is caught.

Additionally, [[medal]]s can improve the player's chances to catch Pokémon of a specific [[type]]. If a Pokémon has two types, the bonus of both applicable medals is averaged.

When the player catches a Pokémon, they earn [[Trainer level|XP]], [[Candy]], and [[Stardust]].

Three types of Poké Balls are primarily available in Pokémon GO: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. They can be found by searching [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s or as rewards for [[Trainer level|leveling up]]. Regular Poké Balls are available immediately from level 1, while Great Balls become available starting at level 12 and Ultra Balls at level 20. Regular Poké Balls can also be bought with [[PokéCoin]]s at the {{DL|PokéCoin|Shop}}; all three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls are also available in Pokémon GO exclusively for use in catching [[Raid Battle|Raid Bosses]]; Raid Bosses can only be caught with Premier Balls and if the player runs out, the Raid Boss will flee. A number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle based on how well they battled. Even if the player does not use some of their Premier Balls, they will not retain any when they fight the next Raid Boss.

Master Balls are also coded into Pokémon GO, but they have never been made available.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|240px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}]]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Satsuki's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last one was not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|240px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempt to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with a typical Poké Ball failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay.

[[Gladion]] keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{p|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{p|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), and his Umbreon is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in [[SM053]]).

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|230px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon. Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from status conditions nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls mainly appear as items which a character can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. Most Pokémon will perform a direct attack against the characters on the stage, but some may have other effects. Like many other items, the Poké Balls also do damage simply by hitting other characters. The fourth game in the series also introduced a Master Ball variant on the Poké Ball, which essentially functions the same as a Poké Ball except that it usually contains a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]].

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from Generation I, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to Generation II, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to Generation IV, and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to Generation VI. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all four games are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

The Poké Ball also features in a couple of other ways in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Brawl, in [[The Subspace Emissary]], {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out his Pokémon, a mechanic that has not been shown in the anime. A Poké Ball logo is also used to represent the Pokémon games in the Super Smash Bros. series. In the third and fourth games, this logo is updated to match Generation IV's redesigned icon.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] Trophy information===
====Poké Ball====
[[File:Poké Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''

====Master Ball====
[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard- to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 27 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]]my in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles.

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]].

====Generation V====
The Apricorn Poké Balls, the Safari Ball, and the Sport Ball, while programmed into the game, cannot be used to catch Pokémon and can be seen only in the Pokémon summary screen or when sending out a Pokémon. Sprites seen below are at full size as they are seen as they are when player's Pokémon is sent out after a switch.

Outside of battles, Generation I Poké Balls (except the Safari Ball) are all seen in the minigame {{p|Furret}}'s Frolic in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Poké Ball is worth 1 point, Great Ball 2, Ultra Ball 3 and [[Master Ball]] 5.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* Only the {{p|Scyther}} family and {{p|Pinsir}} can legitimately be obtained in all of the 27 in-game Poké Ball variants.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the in-battle menu during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], where it takes the place of the Pack command. However, when the ball is used, its name is formatted properly.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring. In later games, the Lure Ball's color is changed to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.
** A similar effect would later be used in subsequent generations for all Poké Ball captures (regardless of the variety of Poké Ball used), beginning with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* Although the Hyper Ball was renamed the Ultra Ball in the English versions of the games, its design still incorporates a stylized H on the top half.
* In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], the Great Ball is twice as effective as the Poké Ball.
* In Pokémon Sun and Moon only, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than {{tt|220.46 lbs|100.0 kg}} and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied. The only catchable Pokémon that this affects are {{p|Beldum}} and the [[guardian deities]].
* The [[Pokémon Global Link|Global Link]] artwork for the Sport Ball has the letter S on the top dome instead of an image of a Poké Ball.

User talk:SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon Syntax

2015-12-09T20:43:12Z

Enervation: /* "Gender unknown" over "genderless" */ new section

==Two additions==
Are 'Browser' (as in the Fiore Browser) and 'Pokémon Storage System' collect capitalisations, or should they be lowercase? --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 03:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
:Okay, I checked and it is Pokémon Storage System. I don't actually own any Ranger games, but I checked a video online and it is indeed Browser. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:17, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

== Battles ==

If Double Battle, Triple Battle, etc. are capital, shouldn't the respective articles be moved asap to raise awareness? Take it from my example: I often base capitalization (when in doubt) to how it is in the article. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|-tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26-]] 09:33, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
:Ideally, a lot of things should be moved. They don't really need approval (apart from maybe changing disambig brackets because that's huge) because this is right and the other is wrong, but the reason I haven't done it yet is because there is a lot of relinking that will need to be done as a result. If you want to move Double Battle, Triple Battle, etc., go ahead, but I really don't like doing relinking (I'm generally trying to juggle a tonne of other things anyway). I've seen BulbaBot do relinking before (I'm pretty sure), so if we could get it automated, that would be amazing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:38, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Stat ==

how about stats such as Attack and Defense ? should they be capitalized ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 09:51, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, they are capitalized in BW, and we go by the most recent main series games.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 10:01, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
::Yes. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:02, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
How about ribbons ? Do they need capitalization ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:15, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
:Yes. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:24, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Contests ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 20:10, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
:Yes. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 05:10, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
How about "Single Battle" and "Symbol" ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
:Well ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 17:13, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
::Oh and status ailments too. --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 19:49, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
:::And Wild ? damn I keep forgetting. --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 11:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
::::Symbol and Single Battle are. Status ailments are not, and neither is wild Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

== TCG ==

Could this be expanded to include TCG? A lot of terms are incorrectly interpreted within the fandom, and it would be nice to have a list of them somwhere, which this page would be great for. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 15:53, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
:Absolutely. What kind of terms did you want to add? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:54, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
::I'll work out a list. I'll have to look through the entire TCG to get a complete group of them, and that might take a little bit. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 19:06, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

== Mud and Bait ==
In-game (at least in SoulSilver) the 'mud' and 'bait' (as used in Safari Zone games) are capitalized in-game. (in NPC conversations) Is this sufficient reason to capitalize those terms (as they relate to usage in the Safari Zone) on Bulbapedia? [[User:Steph|Steph]] 20:09, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
:Yes. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:05, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

== Other ==

I've seen that starter is not capitalized and therefore should be added to the list.
How about Contest pass and Contest hall ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:29, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
:The reason I don't ave starter on the list is that I don't believe it is an official term. Since it is unofficial, it is lowercase by default. I want to keep this list restricted to official terms only. Contest Hall is covered by locations and Contest Pass by items. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
::At least you should specify that unofficial terms go lowercase by default.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
:::Good point. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:47, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Uhm, shouldn't it be specified what kind of Eggs, Fossils, Symbols and such should be capitalized ? New users might think that not only Frontier Symbols should be capitalized. The same for Pokémon Eggs and {{tt|Fossils|even I made a similar mistake with real-life ones}}.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 18:00, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
:Also, how about the name of the series ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 19:24, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
::What, "Pokémon"? It's already there. And all terms only refer to things within the Pokémon universe (Pokémon doesn't change the grammar rules of the English language). I'll add some more links to help clarify though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:34, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:::No, I meant series... Original, Advanced Generation...--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:47, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
But why don't the original series get capitalization ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:15, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
::::Uhm, well ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:38, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::It's not an official term, and you'll notice that it's never capitalized on BP anywhere (well, there's always a few strays). Same reason it's not italicized. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:45, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
When exactly do words use "the" and don't use "the". An example [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hoenn&diff=1694988&oldid=1694977 here] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wallace&diff=1694989&oldid=1694982 here]. Also, how about "Cave of Origin" ? What does that use ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 16:22, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:Also, how about level and gender ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 16:37, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
::Bulleted points (when they're not sentences) and sections work like article titles. So while in a sentence you would always write "the [[Wallace Cup]]", in the article title it is merely called "[[Wallace Cup]]". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
:::Well, how about "level", "gender" and Cave of Origin ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:01, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
::::"The Cave of Origin", "level", and "gender". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

== Move Tutor ==

In-game (in SoulSilver, on a sign in Blackthorn City) and several times on Pokémon.com, 'move tutor' is capitalized as 'Move Tutor'. However, Bulbapedia consistently spells the term as 'move tutor.' Is the evidence for capitalization of the term sufficient to overturn the Bulbapedia convention? [[User:Steph|Steph]] ([[User talk:Steph|talk]]) 15:28, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
:The sign in Blackthorn City and the map description of Driftveil City do not mean anything, as all words are capitalized in those media regardless of whether they should be usually or not (both are followed by a capital "House"). However, since both Pokémon.com and Prima guidebooks use Move Tutor, I believe that it is fair to say that it should be capitalized (at least until we get it used in in-game in a sentence). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:40, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

== Stuff ==

How about [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|this]] ? Do none of them get "the" or just some ? Also, what does [[Cave of Origin]] get ? Do "level" and "gender" need capitalization ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:03, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
:Oh, just now I've seen that you replied above... Sorry.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:04, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
::I would think that many of them would use "the" in sentences, but in a list like that they shouldn't. I've got a lot of catching up to do right now, so I don't have time to watch a bunch of PMD LPs to work out whether each location uses "the" or not right now (I'm not restarting my games just for that purpose). You're welcome to investigate yourself, if you would like. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:10, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
:::I'll pass, got a lot of other stuff to edit. Btw, how long will it take for this page to be mainspaced ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:16, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
::::Probably when the rest of the MoS gets finished, since I'm essentially breaking off part of it (honestly I started this because I saw people warring over the useage of "the" a few times and checked what it should have been, but I kept forgetting and needing to check again so this page just compiled the list of them). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::That's great. Good thinking.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:30, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
How about {{pkmn|cosplay}} ? Is it capitalized ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:58, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
::::::It's not official terminology, so no. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
How about [[aura]] ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 10:50, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::::No idea, but I would assume lowercase. It hasn't appeared in the games, the TCG is meaningless since it is both in a card title and at the start of a sentence, and I only have a DVD of one anime episode (Pokemon.com does work for this because DVDs have official subtitles) from AG and no manga, so I have no way of checking. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Ah well... Uhm could you explain me the hypenation a lil better ? You said in a previous discussion that " Correct usage would be "Snorlax is a Normal type" (used as a noun) or "Snorlax is Normal-type" (used as an adjective)." That means it applies to all adjectives not necessarily if they're standing next to a noun ? "Snorlax is Normal-type is the same with Snorlax is a Normal-type Poké" right ? That means that "Snorlax being a Normal-type is immune to the Ghost type", the first is hypenated while the last isn't ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
:To answer the question about [[Aura]], yes, it is capitalized. See [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-movies/movie-pokemon-lucario-and-the-mystery-of-mew-2006/ here], [http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-11/episode-29-11_29-pokemon-ranger-and-the-kidnapped-riolu-part-1/ here] and [http://www.pokemon.com/us/tv-episodes/season-11/episode-30-11_30-pokemon-ranger-and-the-kidnapped-riolu-part-2/ here]. And I have a question; anime-exclusive Trainer classes are capitalized? There is an inconsistency, [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] is, but [[Pokémon watcher]] and [[Pokémon stylist]] are not.--[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] ([[User talk:Mikuri|talk]]) 13:14, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
::Your hyphenation was all right except "Snorlax being a Normal type is immune to the Ghost type" is the correct hyphenation (although it still sounds weird and I would phrase it "Snorlax, being a Normal type, is immune to Ghost-type moves"). Anyway, if you're havng difficulty distinguishing if the phrase is being used as an adjective or noun, it is usually preceded by "a" or "the" when used as a noun (e.g. "Snorlax is a Normal type" and "The Normal type is the best type"); when used as an adjective, it is usually preceded by a verb, adverb, or adjective or proceeded by a noun (e.g. "Snorlax is Normal-type", "Normal-type Snorlax is weak to Fighting-type moves")
::I'd really like some reliable print source before we decide to make all anime Trainer classes capitalized (the current inconsistencies are not reassuring to the reliability of random books or Pokemon.com). I think we should go off manga, or failing that, subtitles if there is an inconsistency in print media (if it doesn't appear in the games). Aura and Stylist I'm happy with capitalizing based on Pokemon.com, however, because neither has conflicting sources. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:18, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
:::So.. it's ok to go right ahead and capitalize them ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:24, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
::::Aura and Pokémon Stylist? Yeah. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Then I guess you should add them to the list.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 16:03, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

== Team Rocket ==
Should I correct instances of "Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth, not the organization itself) made their appearance" to "Team Rocket made its appearance"?
(For context, see http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Steph&redirect=no#TRT)[[User:Steph|Steph]] ([[User talk:Steph|talk]]) 21:56, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
:What Werdane said on your talk page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

== Lv. ==

Is "Lv." as in "Lv. 80 Arceus" capitalized? On a side note, super effective doesn't seem like a noun. I think you should also mention Route 34 and ashigatana/Ashigatana. On another side note, can you explain why anime episodes are italicized? I always thought they were to be put in quotation marks. [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:14, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
:I believe Lv. is, but it shouldn't be written that way on Bulbapedia anyway. Yeah, you're right and I've tried to rephrase it to be correct. Ashigatana is a Japanese word romanized, not an English name, so we don't know whether it should or shouldn't be capitalized; however, it would appear that the day after you posted this message we got its English name from Pokédex 3D Pro, "seamitar", which is apparently uncapitalized. I believe they should be, but Bulbapedia opted to use italics a long time ago; quotation marks would certainly make more sense for "[[DP098|If the Scarf Fits, ''Wear'' It!]]", however. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

== Scalchops, Stylers, and Preferred Tense ==
Should "scalchop" be capitalized or uncapitalized? Since it's not worth making another talk topic over, what about "styler"? (as in "capture styler") In addition, what is the preferred tense (at least episode synopsis-wise) in Bulbapedia's articles? (for example, which is preferred: "Meowth grabbed Pikachu with the grabbing device" or "Meowth grabs Pikachu with the grabbing device"? [[User:Steph|Steph]] ([[User talk:Steph|talk]]) 23:45, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
:Scalchop is already on the page (it was added on [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User:SnorlaxMonster/Pok%C3%A9mon_Syntax&diff=next&oldid=1704623 June 18]); it is uncapitalized. Styler should be capitalized, as should Capture Styler. Tense in episodes I'm not sure of, but would belong on [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime|the anime MoS]], not here, because this page is about official syntax while episode synopsis tense is a stylistic choice. Ask Kenji-girl about it; it needs to be on the anime MoS. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:03, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

== Bicycles, Pokégear, Pester Ball ==
Should "bicycle" (as it pertains to the games) be capitalized? It is capitalized on its page, but inconsistently. The term "Pokégear" is referred to with and without camel case. ('PokéGear' being the camel case equivalent) Which is the correct case? Pester balls, used in Pokémon Snap, appear to be regular Poké Balls. (which are capitalized) However, they are not actually Poké Balls. 'Pester Ball' is capitalized on its page----should it be capitalized? [[User:Steph|Steph]] ([[User talk:Steph|talk]]) 19:18, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
:Bicycle should be, and is already covered being an item name. Pokégear was camelcase in a TCG card released in Genereation II, but HGSS and the new Pokégear card have fixed it and it is officially not camelcase (I'll add it to the page). Pester Ball is only written in allcaps in-game as far as I can tell from videos, so it should be capitalized. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:46, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
::So "bicycle" should never be used generically? More words/phrases: lake trio, [[the Underground]], {{tt|movie|as in Pokéstar Studios}}, [[lookalike item]], [[physical move]], {{weather|Shadow Sky}} (and other [[weather]]), {{m|substitute}} (the actual doll), and {{a|Levitate|levitating}}. Should <nowiki><sc></nowiki> ever be used? Should "Contest Properties" on [[type]] pages be changed to "Contest properties"? [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:43, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
:::You could argue that outside of the games it could, but I think for consistency and lack of evidence indicating otherwise, Bicycle should be always be capitalized. Lake trio and lake guardians were both used in the anime (the same episode even), but without subtitles I can't say if they should be capitalized, but for now no. Underground has now been added. I'd like to wait for the English release for making a judgement on B2W2 terms. Lookalike Item is capitalized (as is [[Exclusive Item]]). Shadow Sky... I've never played Colo or XD, but from looking at videos, that's probably not the best name for the weather condition; it looks like "shadowy aura" would be a better name. "Status" in the description of {{a|Prankster}} is lowercase, so I would say that physical and special should be too (there's probably a better source for this, but I'm not sure where to look). The substitute doll is lowercase (and I have now added it to the page). Based on the description of the [[Iron Ball]], levitating is lowercase, but it's not really an official term anyway. <nowiki><sc></nowiki> should be used when quoting the games and they use ALLCAPS. This is much more common in older games, and you will see it used in Pokédex entries, and move, item, and Ability descriptions. "Contest Properties" should be changed to "Contest properties". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:51, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

== Weather conditions? ==

[[Talk:Weather#Weather quotes|This discussion]] has several references to the description of weather within the games. My Prima guide capitalizes it: "The Hail weather will last in all the wild Pokémon battles from Route 216 to Snowpoint City." while the games vary on capitalization, leaning towards non-capitalization. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
:Games take priority over guidebooks. Games have them exclusively uncapitalized in the most recent appearances (older games are less consistent in syntax, and retcon means that new conventions take priority). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:06, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
::Okay then. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:49, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

== Conquest capitalization ==
About your request at my talk page, I've done a lot of Pokémon Conquest capitalization on the site, which may be good to have on this page. I'll list some of it here, deliberately excluding the many battlefield features, which can be found in the kingdom articles, correctly capitalized.

'''Uncapitalized'''
* link
* kingdom
* ponigiri (not the item)
* red ponigiri (the Ponigiri Shop service, not the item)
* blue ponigiri (the Ponigiri Shop service, not the item)
* move rank
* story
* army
* castle
* month
* recruit
* equip
* <kingdom weather conditions>

:Are you sure you have your Ponigiri around the right way, because it contradicts [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ponigiri&diff=1868079&oldid=1859739 your edit here]. I haven't played Conquest, so I'm relying on you. I'm not sure how important some of those words you had there are (e.g. month) so I haven't added them all. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
::I listed the Ponigiri Shop services (not the items) as uncapitalized, and in the edit you're linking to, I changed various Ponigiri Shop services (not the items) from upper to lower case. How is that a contradiction? All the words I listed are central terms in the game, so it's your call what to include or not (some could be considered self-explanatory), although I would say I disagree on the exclusion of "move rank". [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:26, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
:::I'll add move rank then. In that edit it looks to me like you changed item names to lowercase; I understood the service as selling Ponigiri, and "only the ponigiri is sold" appears to be talking about the item. I typically excluded things if they didn't have their own articles; if they are important concepts they typically do. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:58, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
::::Well, that's not the case - those are the Ponigiri Shop services, bought and instantly consumed - not items, not capitalized. The items, which can be kept and equipped for usage in battle, can be bought from Shops, as opposed to Ponigiri Shops. I'm elaborating on this misunderstanding because the information is still hidetagged on your page. Also, I'd suggest rephrasing to emphasize a few points that are currently missing; the word ponigiri is never capitalized, except when appearing in the name of the Ponigiri Shop kingdom utility or the items Ponigiri, Red Ponigiri, Blue Ponigiri, and Purple Ponigiri. Ponigiri is not capitalized in the names of the Ponigiri Shop services ponigiri, red ponigiri, and blue ponigiri. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 18:14, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

::::::Sorry to nitpick, but your wording in the special case of ponigiri misses the point that ponigiri is a term itself. While it currently reads:
::::::*The items Ponigiri, Red Ponigiri, Blue Ponigiri, and Purple Ponigiri (which are stored in the player's inventory) are always capitalized, as is Ponigiri Shop. However, the shop services (which can be purchased at Ponigiri Shops) are uncapitalized.
::::::The following would offer a full explanation:
::::::*Ponigiri is not a capitalized term. However, that does not mean it is exempted from capitalization when appearing in titles that are capitalized. This is the case with Pokémon Conquest kingdom locations (i.e. Ponigiri Shop) and items (i.e. Ponigiri, Red Ponigiri, Blue Ponigiri, and Purple Ponigiri), but not with the services available at Ponigiri Shops (i.e. ponigiri, red ponigiri, and blue ponigiri).

== Supereffective ==
Also, it seems that more recent games prefer "a ''supereffective'' move is a move that is super effective" over "a ''super-effective'' move is a move that is super effective", so you may want to consider that. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 16:10, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

== I have a question ==

I'm a little confused about some of the names of places that require the use of "the" before it. I agree with most of them, but I refer to [[Slowpoke Well]], [[Sky Pillar]], [[Eterna Forest]], [[Spear Pillar]], and [[Snowpoint Temple]] without using "the" first (maybe [[Skyarrow Bridge]] as well?). It sounds more natural to me; they're names of specific places. Doesn't the sentence "I went to Sky Pillar" or "I entered Eterna Forest" make more sense than "I went to the Sky Pillar" or "I entered the Eterna Forest"? Admittedly, Sky Pillar could go either way, but I don't think the other four should have "the" used before them. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 10:18, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
:Just so you know, this isn't conjecture, this is they way they are officially referred to. The problem is you're viewing them in the wrong way; the Spear Pillar and Sky Pillar are the pillar of the sky and the spear-shaped pillar, respectively, not just something named "Sky Pillar". The Eterna Forest and the Snowpoint Temple work in the same way as "the Snowpoint Pokémon Center". Similar logic can be applied to your other objections. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

:It's not really an official term, so "starter" is not capitalized. It does appear [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/07_31-six-pack-attack/ here] and [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/chronicles-14-journey-to-the-starting-line/ here], but I really don't trust Pokémon.com episode summaries for that kind of thing because they very often contain errors.

== Evolution ==

Is the capitalization of evolution/Evolution a new thing as of XY? I ask because I can't remember it happening in any game other than as part of Mega Evolution (although my memory is very probably faulty) and our style has always been to lowercase it. Also, your note just says "derivative terms," but some changes have been reverted on the grounds that the games don't capitalize the verb form; exactly which derivative terms should and should not be capitalized, then? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:54, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
:The verb form is never capitalized so that should probably be made clear in the note. I haven't checked for anything besides Mega Evolution since that's a bit difficult. I feel like I've never even seen evolutionary besides in a fan context though. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 00:58, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

:::I have no idea where to find this out, either, but another question I have: is Evolution capitalized only in reference to the process, only in reference to evolutionary level (first, second, third, Mega), or both?

:::::Yeah, "Evolution" as a noun is capitalized. "Evolutionary" comes from the Eviolite's description. However, you are correct that "evolve" as a verb is not capitalized, so I'll just restrict it to specifically "Evolution" and "Evolutionary". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:05, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

{{indent}}Now what about Evolutionary? Eviolite is using it as an adjective detailing the lump's relation to the concept of Evolution as a whole, but we commonly use it to detail a Pokémon's relation to its evolutions, as in "evolutionary family" and "evolutionary relatives". They shouldn't all be capitalized, should they? [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 02:32, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

:::It's only capitalized when it's a noun and refers to the process itself, I believe. So "Raichu is an evolution of Pikachu" is correct while "A Thunderstone will induce Evolution in a Pikachu" is also correct. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 03:01, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

:::::Why do people keep talking about situations when "evolution" is used a a verb? It is always a noun; "evolve" ("evolves", "evolved", "evolving") is the verb.

::::::Yes, that's what they're referring to; evolution and evolve are the same word inflected into different parts of speech, and by "derivative terms" you kind of confusingly implied that included alternate parts of speech, like the verb form.

{{indent}}There was question above about "first evolution" and the like, and "evolutionary". I just caught an {{p|Eevee}} in Y and noticed that its Pokedex entry says "[Eevee] conceals many different possible '''evolutions'''." This suggests that the noun should only be capitalized when it refers to the process, ''not'' when it refers to a Pokemon that has undergone that process, like in "first evolution". When I looked at the Pokedex entries on Eevee's page, I also noticed that X's entry apparently says "different '''evolutionary''' forms". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:14, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
:In that case, I'm just going to remove "Evolutionary" from the page, because the situations where it is necessary to capitalize it are far too sparse. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:21, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

== Plural names of Pokémon ==

In [[Generation I]], a girl next to [[Pewter Gym]] says "CLEFAIRYs" not "CLEFAIRY", and a man in [[Diglett's Cave]] states "DIGLETTs". Should this not be counted as an error in early episodes? I didn't know another place to put this... [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 17:56, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
:Also, there is inconsistency in use of American quotes and {{tt|logical|AKA British}} quotes. The first section uses American, while the rest use logical.{{unsigned|Pikachu Bros.|17:59, 7 April 2014 (UTC)}}

:::Yeah, we follow the most recent official grammatical standards, so even though older games occasionally had separate words for plurals of Pokémon names, Bulbapedia uses what all current official materials do (which is singular is the same as plural). As for quotes, as an Australian I tend to prefer the logical standard too, so I habitually put them that way, but they should be formatted the American way because that is how the games and Bulbapedia as a whole does it (as much as it pains me to do so). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

== Form/Forme and Zygarde ==

I have just a couple questions regarding Zygarde's page, as I recently made some substantial additions.

Is "forme" always capitalized (Zygarde Complete Forme is the strongest of Zygarde's Formes.), or is it only capitalized when part of a Pokemon's name (Zygarde only enters Complete Forme when its other formes are outmatched.)?

Further, are Zygarde's formes properly referred to as "Formes" or "forms"? ("While it does not evolve, Zygarde has five formes/Formes," or "While it does not evolve, Zygarde has five forms.")

Going off of what I understand from the [[form differences]] page, I would assume that Forme is the correct terminology, but I'm unsure what exactly the difference between them is. Is Forme only used when referring to Legendary Pokémon, only when the stats of the Pokemon change, or both? [[User:Pacack| '''Pa'''ᗧ•••ᗣ'''ck''' ]] 11:16, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

:Forme is an official term for Pokémon who's alternate appearance is drastically different to its normal appearance (e.g. {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}). Form is used to refer to Pokémon that just have minor differences in appearance (e.g. {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Arbok}}). As for the capitalizing, it's only when you're referring to the forme should "Forme" be capitalized.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:00, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
::Forme is mostly used for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon's alternate forms, although it is used for Aegislash but not Keldeo (and it is used for Cherrim, but only in Japanese/Korean and not English). Forme should always be capitalized (e.g. "Zygarde has 3 Formes"—Zygarde does not have 5 Formes, as the Core and Cell are not Formes).
::Form is mostly used for non-Legendary/Mythical Pokémon such as Castform and Basculin, but it is also used for Keldeo (and it is used for Cherrim, but only in English and not Japanese/Korean). "Form" is handled like the word normally is in English (e.g. "Castform has 4 forms").
::As far as I can tell, the other game languages (French, German, Italian, Spanish) make no distinction between Forme and form.
::I wouldn't even call the variations in Arbok "forms" (largely since the games don't recognize them as such). We list those on the [[Variant Pokémon]] page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:45, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
:::Okay, thanks. So, Formes should be capitalized in every scenario on Zygarde's page, and all the uses of the word "form" should be changed to "Forme". I'll get on that when I'm done with work today.
:::Though, I am wondering; what should we consider Zygarde Cores and Cells? The beginning of the article currently states the following:
:::"While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it has five forms."
:::I know that we need to change the ending to, "it has three Formes," but I don't know what to classify the Cores and Cells as. Maybe, "it has three Formes and two basic units (or components), Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells, which arrange to create the three Formes." Does that sound acceptable? If so, does units or components sound better?
:::Lastly, when referring to the different Formes (ie: Zygarde 10% Forme), should every instance of "10% Forme" be changed to "Zygarde 10% Forme", or is shortening it okay? I noticed the former naming method a few times in the article, and I don't know if it needs to be corrected.[[User:Pacack| '''Pa'''ᗧ•••ᗣ'''ck''' ]] 17:26, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

== "Gender unknown" over "genderless" ==

Adapted from what I wrote a few months ago on [[Talk:Main Page/Archive 13]]: I'm pretty sure some person in some building in Unova or Kalos said something like "Pokémon have genders, like humans. They can be male, female, or even have unknown genders!" Also, Pokédex 3D Pro and the Pokédex on Pokemon.com use "unknown" under the gender field for Pokémon like Kyurem. That would suggest that "gender unknown" is a more official term than "genderless", and should be used instead. To be clear, I'm referring to gender (e.g., in the sentence "Cryogonal is the only genderless Pokémon, other than Mew, that can learn Attract."), not Egg Group. I'm not sure what the official way to use "gender unknown" in a sentence is though. Thoughts? [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 20:43, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

[[Image:Warp_tile_demo.png|frame|right|{{ga|Red}} stepping on a warp tile inside [[Silph Co.]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.]]
A '''warp tile''' or '''teleport tile''' is a special tile featured in games since [[Generation I]]. Once stepped upon, the player is transported instantly to a connecting warp tile elsewhere. The connecting warp tile could be anywhere, generally within the building that the player is exploring.

==In the games==

===Generation I and FireRed/LeafGreen===
The warp tile is first and predominately found in [[Silph Co.]]'s head office building in [[Saffron City]]. Inside there is a mass network of the tiles, which the player has to navigate through in order to complete the task. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, this task was made easier, as the floor number was displayed each time the player was transported. Warp tiles are also found in [[Saffron Gym]]. Warp tiles in Kanto are usually indicated by a diamond while in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]], the ones in Saffron Gym are indicated by green squares.

===Generation II===
Unlike the preceding generation, warp tiles are rare in [[Generation II]]. In [[Johto]], one can be found in [[Team Rocket HQ]], which, unlike standard warp tiles, transports the player to a normal tile instead of another warp tile. In Johto, the regular variety is featured only in the [[Tin Tower]], where they are used to navigate the upper floors of the building. Warp tiles can also be found in Saffron Gym in [[Kanto]]. Most warp tiles in the games are indicated by a diamond while the ones in Johto at the Tin Tower are indicated by pink squares with a white outline.

===Generation III===
In [[Hoenn]], there are two styles of warp tiles. One style appears in the [[Team Aqua Hideout|Team Aqua]] or [[Team Magma Hideout]] in [[Lilycove City]], which serves the same role as warp tiles in previous generations. These warp tiles are indicated by a circle.

The other style appears in the [[Mossdeep Gym]] and a similarly-designed maze in the [[Trick House]]. In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, these warp tiles only serve as a quick exit from the Gym from [[Tate and Liza]]'s area, as well as a way to return to the start of the corresponding Trick House maze. They have an expanded role in {{v2|Emerald}}, where these warp tiles are used to traverse [[Mossdeep Gym]]'s maze similar to that in [[Saffron Gym]], and again to traverse a similar maze in the Trick House. These warp tiles are indicated by an octagon.

Hoenn also introduced one-way warp tiles, where the tile on the other end of the warp is a warp tile but does nothing if stepped on. These one-way tiles appear only in the octagonal style.

===Generation IV===
In [[Sinnoh]], warp tiles can be found in the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]]. Two-way warp tiles are yellow and only go between areas on the same floor, while one-way warp tiles are green and only go between areas on different floors. Warp tiles in the Sinnoh games are indicated by a circle. In Johto, warp tiles are used only once in Team Rocket HQ, and numerous times on the higher floors of the [[Bell Tower]]. In Kanto, they are found yet again at the Saffron Gym. Warp tiles in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] are indicated by green squares in the [[Saffron Gym]] or yellow ones at the Bell Tower. One-way warp titles also appear at the end of [[Hearthome Gym]], [[Blackthorn Gym]], and [[Saffron Gym]] as quick exits.

===Generation V===
In [[Unova]], warp tiles are also rare. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, they only appear in [[Big Stadium and Small Court]] and are colored blue. There's a one-way warp tile as well on [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|Bl}}/[[Iris]]{{sup/5|W}}'s platform in the [[Opelucid Gym]].

Regular warp tiles become more abundant in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, appearing on the [[Plasma Frigate]]. All warp tiles in Unova outside of [[Nimbasa City]] are indicated by green circles.

===Generation VI===
{{incomplete|section|needs=ORAS information}}
In [[Kalos]], warp tiles can be found in the [[Anistar Gym]], the [[Laverre Gym]], and the [[Lysandre Labs]]. The warp tiles found at the last two locations are round and light green, except for the one-way warp tiles, which are colored yellow. In the Anistar Gym, the warp tiles are square-shaped and yellow, and work in both directions.

At the Lysandre Labs, after defeating [[Aliana]], the player must choose one of the two warp tiles she was guarding in order to proceed, with the one-way warp tile taking the player back to the beginning. At the Laverre Gym, the player can use a one-way warp tile to transport themselves from [[Valerie]]'s room to the entrance.

'''Team Flare''' (Japanese: '''フレア{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Flare-dan'', literally ''Flare Gang'') is the [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

==In the games==
===In Pokémon X and Y===
{{spoilers}}
Team Flare appears in {{pkmn|X and Y}}. Their goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money, eliminating everyone who does not follow their standards.

They are first encountered in [[Glittering Cave]], where they attempt to steal [[fossils]] off the researcher working there, but are stopped by the {{player}} and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}. This occurs without the researcher noticing. They next appear in a scene in {{rt|10|Kalos}}, examining the mysterious rock formation. The grunt defeated in Glittering Cave challenges the player to a rematch.

In [[Geosenge Town]], they are seen examining the rock formations there, when a grunt is encountered by the player and tries to flee. Once he is followed, there appears to be an entrance to a cavern which has been blocked off. This is later revealed to be [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].

On {{rt|13|Kalos}}, it is revealed that a problem inside the [[Kalos Power Plant]] is responsible for the blackout in [[Lumiose City]], which is preventing the player from accessing the majority of the city, including the [[Lumiose City Gym]]. A Team Flare Grunt outside the Power Plant drops a {{key|VI|Power Plant Pass}}, which the player uses to enter the building. Inside the building, a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} and Team Flare Scientist [[Aliana]] are siphoning electricity from the Power Plant, causing the blackout. Once they are defeated, the player can progress to Lumiose City.

At [[Laverre City]], Team Flare Grunts are blocking the player from entering {{rt|15|Kalos}} and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] until the player has defeated the [[Laverre City Gym]] and received the {{Badge|Fairy}}. At that point {{ga|Shauna}} tricks the Grunt guarding the Poké Ball Factory away so the player and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} can enter. Although the player defeats them, the Team Flare Scientists are able to steal many of the Poké Balls, with the exception of the [[Master Ball]].

In [[Frost Cavern]], a trainer's {{p|Mamoswine}}, which the player needs to traverse the snow-blocked {{rt|17|Kalos}}, is upset. Upon reaching the depths of the Cavern, Team Flare, led by [[Mable]], are antagonizing an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Once she has been defeated, the Abomasnow gives the player an {{DL|Mega Stone|Abomasite}}, and the player is now able to traverse Route 17 on the Mamoswine.

Team Flare does not appear again until the player has received their seventh badge from the [[Anistar City Gym]], where [[Lysandre]] reveals that he is the leader of Team Flare, and sends out a live broadcast to all trainers around Kalos via the Holo Caster. During the broadcast, Lysandre reveals Team Flare's plans of using the "[[ultimate weapon]]", a machine built by the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] 3,000 years ago that can eliminate all life. To achieve this, Lysandre plans to use {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} to activate the machine in [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]].

Lysandre Labs' secret entrance is located inside {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Lysandre greets the player with a battle, before moving to the basement. Once the player reaches the basement, he is revealed to have imprisoned AZ, who tells the player the history of the ultimate weapon. The player then encounters [[Xerosic]] in conversation with Lysandre, whereupon Lysandre promises to deactivate the weapon if the player defeats Xerosic. However, despite this promise, Xerosic still activates the weapon by remote control, even if the player manages to switch off the weapon. The weapon, situated in [[Geosenge Town]], activates from the three {{wp|menhir}}s in the center of the town.

The player then enters the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], to the Northwest of the town, which was previously blocked. After battling Lysandre, the player, with the help of Calem/Serena and Shauna, make their way down to the legendary Pokémon. The player encounters the legendary Pokémon, and after catching {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, Lysandre challenges the player to one last battle. After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and his/her friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/destroy everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands. It is unknown what becomes of Lysandre afterwards.

Despite the collapse of Team Flare, however, the player encounters them once more. After defeating the [[Diantha|Champion]], during the main post-game side story, [[Looker]] arrives in Lumiose City with the intent of apprehending a criminal he is tracking, enlisting the player and a young homeless girl named [[Emma]] to aid him. A crime wave breaks out in the city, and the culprit is ultimately revealed to be one of Team Flare's scientists, [[Xerosic]], conducting an experiment using what little funds he still has following the disbanding of Team Flare. After the player defeats "Essentia," the creation of his project, Xerosic relents and surrenders to Looker, ending Team Flare's reign of terror once and for all.

[[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]] was also a member of Team Flare; however, she was not revealed to be with them until after Lysandre is defeated. Instead, she is the host of the newscasts occasionally sent through the [[Holo Caster]]. Her rank in Team Flare is unknown, although she knows classified information.

==In the anime==
Lysandre debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. He was seen monitoring [[Alain's Charizard]]'s energy levels during its [[Mega Evolution]] from a laboratory, and was apparently pleased with the result. He reappeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', when he visited the ruins [[Steven Stone]] was investigating, leading to {{me|Rayquaza}} attacking.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Team Flare appear as the main antagonists of the {{chap|X & Y}}. The four Scientists first appear seeking to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] with various schemes, but are thwarted several times. Lysandre also made an appearance with [[Professor Sycamore]], acquiring a video file of Xerneas and Yveltal for his research.

==Trivia==
* Many of Team Flare's targets share notable similarities with [[Team Rocket]]'s targets: a cave where a regional [[Fossil]] can be obtained ([[Glittering Cave]] and [[Mt. Moon]]), a [[Poké Ball]]-producing facility where the [[Master Ball]] can be obtained ([[Poké Ball Factory]] and [[Silph Co.]]), a Pokémon [[Template:Burial ground|burial ground]] ({{rt|10|Kalos}} and [[Pokémon Tower]]), the regional [[Power Plant]] ([[Kalos Power Plant]] and [[Kanto Power Plant]]), and a location where experiments involving in agitating a {{p|Abomasnow|certain}} [[Red Gyarados|Pokémon]] are conducted ([[Frost Cavern]] and [[Lake of Rage]]).

== Just curious; ==

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too?

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page. Now, I don't remember tapping anything on the screen but there's a chance I did without noticing it. Either way, I'm not convinced it was accidental tapping. What happened is that I suddenly got redirected multiple times through the ad network until I reached [http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com/pt/sx/iphone/home/updates/?revid=66054&campaign=20996&viewSpeed= this], which is a pornographic site.

== Userspace edit limit - pages to be put into mainspace ==

I am going to be writing a major section for an article here, but it will be spread across several days, and want to merge it all in to the article at one time. So I am asking if the userspace edit limit applies to sandbox-like pages which will have information that will be put into the main namespace. So...does it? [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 00:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:Just keep it under 3, preview, don't do them within minutes of each other, and don't forget about the mainspace. The staff are more lenient on those kind of pages. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:27, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
::We're more lenient with stuff for the mainspace, but they're not unrestricted. I have to ask why the section can't be written into the actual article. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.
:::And the main reason I ask is because the top bar is currently limiting userspace edits to 1/day, not the usual 3/day we had for quite a while. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 01:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them. It is not a browser problem, since it happened with opera, chrome mobile and another mobile browser. I don't know if the fact I'm in Italy matters. I wrote down the site I get redirected to when I'm on the tablet. I don't have the desktop site because now I usually use my tablet, and I didn't think of writing down the URL. I first thought to add the link hidden in this discussion, but anybody could have still opened it. If you need it I can send it by email.

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there.

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

Along with this, certain pages are styled strangely - for the editing box for editing the talkpage of the main page, the editing box is rather tiny, and the character palette has all clickable symbols underlined, any of these symbols when clicked doing nothing (with the exception of taking you to the top of the page).

On the front page, there is no light grey "Search" word in the search box, and the UTC clock has disappeared. Sometimes there is a rather medium sized space between the "Due to a security issue..." message and the "Welcome to Bulbapedia!" message. Also, sometimes the green background turns into a white background.

Also, some pages are displayed without the stylesheet.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 14:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Prerelease policy suggestion ==

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time. I actually find having image histories more important in the long run than removing them in order to fix problems in the short run. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:13, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself? Perhaps some kind of way of marking certain images (like these prerelease scans) as "high importance" or something to get the software to attempt to sync them more often?

:::On the other hand, keeping the magazine scans as separate images would allow us to keep the history of the Bulbanews articles, in that we would have magazine croppings on the BN article when that was all we had, but the clean artworks when we got those.

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically?

== Volcanion, Hoopa, and Diancie ==

So I'm sure most of you have heard about the three legendary event Pokemon recently found in the coding for X and Y. So I want to ask: Why do we not have pages for them?

Obviously we don't have any info yet, and I understand that, but we had a page for [[Trevenant]] long before we even knew his English name. Couldn't we make a page for them and not have any info for them (even PokeDex number)? I know they're real, I went into the X and Y GTS and saw for my self. So I think we need pages for them.

Opinions? (And before you give them, please read my ENTIRE post. I've gotten way too many posts that have logic that I already broke in my explanation. And if you don't think my explanation is accurate, tell me why. Cuz it gets annoying when its just "NO WE DONT HAVE ANY INFO IDIOT. YOUR STUPID."

== About the "characteristics" of types... ==

I noticed that within each page on the individual Pokémon types, there is a 'Characteristics' section, which describes both defensive and offensive characteristics. However, is this all really necessary? Firstly, this seems like Smogon standards, and shouldn't belong on a site that discusses only facts. Second, each 'Characteristics' section says pretty much the same thing. "It's good overall." This is just my opinion, but I don't think it's really that needed. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 02:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
:I agree. It's opinionated and, in my experience, tends to attract editors who (A) add more egregiously opinionated material that just has to be removed and (B) are especially unfamiliar with our standards of notability. I'd love to see the sections axed. All of the important unopinionated information in them is already given in the type effectiveness and average stat sections on the same pages.

== BulbaNewsNow ==

I don't have a Twitter, so excuse me for posting here rather than commenting on the tweet itself, but I would like to question the logic behind retweeting the post about the unconfirmed new Pokémon.
While I know that it's ''possible'' it's real, what distinguishes this from the hundreds of fakes out there? This one doesn't really have anything going for it in particular. It's a low-quality drawing of a Pokémon allegedly shown in addition to the one we've all heard about - there's no reason ''everyone'' else would have reported exclusively on the larger form if this was actually shown, is there? - and the poster isn't even sure what it looked like, exactly, and is saying that "people" (without specifying who and without anyone actually backing the poster up) seem to think one attempt at drawing it is more accurate than the others, with exactly one person claiming it exists and nobody else even mentioning it as far as I can tell.
Is there a particular reason this fake should hold any amount of credence whatsoever? I just think it's a bit odd that, on a site that refused to even report on Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion until Diancie was revealed and very recently for the others because a staff member couldn't get them himself or herself, actually retweeting - and showing everyone who views the main page - something like this with only one source, even less information and only a low-quality drawing to show after denying the existence of Pokémon recorded in actual ''videos'' from a few sources, this particular post as if it should be considered any more believable than any other fake is... odd. And rather inconsistent with past standards. Why are we posting this on the main page after refusing to even mention ''much'' more believable information in the past before that was confirmed? (I know we label this as UNCONFIRMED. We didn't mention any of the aforementioned Pokémon even with such disclaimers. We're being inconsistent.) [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 16:28, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
:This was an apparent new Pokémon shown in a teaser at the end of M18. These are not uncommon (Victini and Trevenant were revealed in the same way). Multiple trusted Japanese movie-goers have confirmed that such a creature appeared in the teaser. The larger creature was shown in CoroCoro (and I had thought it was also shown after the movie, at the pre-screenings, but maybe this was not the case). It's worth noting that the same sources that reported the CoroCoro creature also reported this.
:The poster is someone who personally attended the movie and drew it from memory. Since they couldn't pause a cinematic movie (and as far as I can tell, didn't draw the picture while it was on-screen), it is entirely reasonable that they cannot precisely remember what they saw.
:It's also worth pointing out that while associated, BulbaNewsNOW and Bulbapedia are managed separately, so something that consensus hasn't determined to be reliable on Bulbapedia may be considered reliable for BNN to report. Additionally, this particular piece of news was even labelled as unconfirmed (much to some people's chagrin, since it is quite clear this is legitimate).
:Also, not mentioning Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion was because they had been discovered by datamining and had not been officially revealed (on the other hand, this creature has been officially revealed, in a sense). While I disagreed with this stance, I understood it. '''Bulbapedia did not deny their existence''' after the community had accepted them (when we only had screenshots of the names on the GTS, there was some skepticism, but I think that was entirely reasonable). Even so, since Bulbapedia ''does'' mention Volcanion now, it would not be inconsistent anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:53, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
::I knew about the larger form , but I wasn't aware that this was confirmed by the same moviegoers (or that there were more than one person backing up the "blob" to begin with!) as that because I had heard literally nothing about the "blob" until days ''after'' the larger form was shown in Corocoro. (In fairness, I also hadn't heard about the larger form before Corocoro, because everything I saw just said "Zygarde" and didn't even mention that it WAS a larger form, so I guess if people knew about that in advance, then that must back this up.) I was mainly suspicious because obviously the person had at least looked at it, and if it was as simple and mainly featureless as they claimed, it should be easy to remember better than they seemed to. But anyway, if they ''were'' revealed by the same people at the same time, then I guess that answers my question, so thanks. ^^ (And I didn't actually know that BNN is run by different people. That certainly explains it, haha. Good to know for the future.) [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 17:20, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
:::The larger creature was first revealed in CoroCoro. You are correct that everyone assumed it was a Zygarde form though, which—although likely—has not been confirmed. These things weren't necessarily revealed by the same people at the same time either; CoroCoro officially released a few days before the movie's official launch (but after the pre-screenings, which probably didn't show the teaser), and the Japanese people who watched the movie aren't necessarily the same as the person who uploaded the scan of the CoroCoro page.
:::As for BNN being run by separate people, all the people who run it (including me, the official coordinator of it) have ties to Bulbapedia, and they're both part of Bulbagarden, so it's not entirely independent. However, the people who make editorial decisions about BNN are quite different to those who make editorial decisions about Bulbapedia. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:58, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
:::Addition note: The large creature from CoroCoro also appears in the teaser. I failed to make that clear. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 18:13, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
::::I'm actually ''more'' confused by that post than I was before, so while I believe the Pokémon exists now because Ihave seen multiple other sources backing it up elsewhere, I'm going to respond to that post anyway. XD
::::"The larger creature was first revealed in CoroCoro." You said in your previous post "It's worth noting that the same sources that reported the CoroCoro creature also reported this," so I'm kind of confused as to what happened. o.o Was the Zygarde-looking thing revealed by the same people who posted this, or was CoroCoro the first source that mentioned the Zygarde-looking thing? (CoroCoro obviously didn't post this, so it's not possible for both to be the case.)
::::Also, I said that people were saying it was a Zygarde (as in not ''even'' a form, but just acting like it was a normal Zygarde), giving an example of me obviously being out of the loop if we apparently did already know about the Zygarde form before Corocoro (which apparently we didn't if your second post is right instead of your first?).

:::::Ah, okay, I get where you got confused. I meant all the same secondary sources who considered the CoroCoro page credible also considered this teaser credible, and both reported on it. I didn't mean that the information came from the same place.

== "Genderless" vs "gender unknown" ==

I'm pretty sure some person in some building in Unova or Kalos said something to the effect of "Pokémon have genders, like humans. They can be male, female, or even have unknown genders!" If I'm remembering correctly, that would mean that "gender unknown" is a more official term than "genderless". To be clear, I'm referring to gender (e.g., in the sentence "Cryogonal is the only genderless Pokémon, other than Mew, that can learn Attract."), not Egg Group. Thoughts? [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 18:26, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page. Now, I don't remember tapping anything on the screen but there's a chance I did without noticing it. Either way, I'm not convinced it was accidental tapping. What happened is that I suddenly got redirected multiple times through the ad network until I reached [http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com/pt/sx/iphone/home/updates/?revid=66054&campaign=20996&viewSpeed= this], which is a pornographic site.

== Userspace edit limit - pages to be put into mainspace ==

I am going to be writing a major section for an article here, but it will be spread across several days, and want to merge it all in to the article at one time. So I am asking if the userspace edit limit applies to sandbox-like pages which will have information that will be put into the main namespace. So...does it? [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 00:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:Just keep it under 3, preview, don't do them within minutes of each other, and don't forget about the mainspace. The staff are more lenient on those kind of pages. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:27, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
::We're more lenient with stuff for the mainspace, but they're not unrestricted. I have to ask why the section can't be written into the actual article. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.
:::And the main reason I ask is because the top bar is currently limiting userspace edits to 1/day, not the usual 3/day we had for quite a while. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 01:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them. It is not a browser problem, since it happened with opera, chrome mobile and another mobile browser. I don't know if the fact I'm in Italy matters. I wrote down the site I get redirected to when I'm on the tablet. I don't have the desktop site because now I usually use my tablet, and I didn't think of writing down the URL. I first thought to add the link hidden in this discussion, but anybody could have still opened it. If you need it I can send it by email.

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there.

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time. I actually find having image histories more important in the long run than removing them in order to fix problems in the short run. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:13, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself? Perhaps some kind of way of marking certain images (like these prerelease scans) as "high importance" or something to get the software to attempt to sync them more often?

:::On the other hand, keeping the magazine scans as separate images would allow us to keep the history of the Bulbanews articles, in that we would have magazine croppings on the BN article when that was all we had, but the clean artworks when we got those. Ideally though, there would be some way to fix the Archives caches issue. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:14, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically?

I w as just wondering if this was just me or if other people are having trouble to??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 17:48, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

== Volcanion, Hoopa, and Diancie ==

So I'm sure most of you have heard about the three legendary event Pokemon recently found in the coding for X and Y. So I want to ask: Why do we not have pages for them?

Obviously we don't have any info yet, and I understand that, but we had a page for [[Trevenant]] long before we even knew his English name. Couldn't we make a page for them and not have any info for them (even PokeDex number)? I know they're real, I went into the X and Y GTS and saw for my self. So I think we need pages for them.

Opinions? (And before you give them, please read my ENTIRE post. I've gotten way too many posts that have logic that I already broke in my explanation. And if you don't think my explanation is accurate, tell me why. Cuz it gets annoying when its just "NO WE DONT HAVE ANY INFO IDIOT. YOUR STUPID."

== Where are the menu sprites for new Pokémon, bag sprites for Mega Stones and other newly introduced items (Assault Vest, etc.)? ==

We had them all up before but they keep getting taken down! What's the problem? Does anyone here have any idea of when they will be back up for good?

== About the "characteristics" of types... ==

I noticed that within each page on the individual Pokémon types, there is a 'Characteristics' section, which describes both defensive and offensive characteristics. However, is this all really necessary? Firstly, this seems like Smogon standards, and shouldn't belong on a site that discusses only facts. Second, each 'Characteristics' section says pretty much the same thing. "It's good overall." This is just my opinion, but I don't think it's really that needed. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 02:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
:I agree. It's opinionated and, in my experience, tends to attract editors who (A) add more egregiously opinionated material that just has to be removed and (B) are especially unfamiliar with our standards of notability. I'd love to see the sections axed. All of the important unopinionated information in them is already given in the type effectiveness and average stat sections on the same pages.

==StreetPass article==

It just occurred to me that the wiki could probably afford to have an article about [[StreetPass]]. Considering that it's a 3DS feature that is used by several Pokémon games for 3DS (both main series and side games), I would think an article compiling its functionality and how to access it in each game would be worthwhile.

Hi,
can I make in this wiki, articels from voice actors from other language's? And why articel [[Liza Jacqueline]] redecting to Pokemon actors?--[[User:Tinca14|Tinca14]] ([[User talk:Tinca14|talk]]) 11:49, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
:[[Bulbapedia:Project_VA#Notability|Bulbapedia's standards for voice actors state that a page can only be created for a voice actor if:]]
:*They are an English or Japanese voice actor who meets any of the following:
:**They voiced a main and/or recurring character in the anime for more than one episode.
:**They voiced at least 10 minor characters ([[characters of the day]]).

== BulbaNewsNow ==

I don't have a Twitter, so excuse me for posting here rather than commenting on the tweet itself, but I would like to question the logic behind retweeting the post about the unconfirmed new Pokémon.
While I know that it's ''possible'' it's real, what distinguishes this from the hundreds of fakes out there? This one doesn't really have anything going for it in particular. It's a low-quality drawing of a Pokémon allegedly shown in addition to the one we've all heard about - there's no reason ''everyone'' else would have reported exclusively on the larger form if this was actually shown, is there? - and the poster isn't even sure what it looked like, exactly, and is saying that "people" (without specifying who and without anyone actually backing the poster up) seem to think one attempt at drawing it is more accurate than the others, with exactly one person claiming it exists and nobody else even mentioning it as far as I can tell.
Is there a particular reason this fake should hold any amount of credence whatsoever? I just think it's a bit odd that, on a site that refused to even report on Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion until Diancie was revealed and very recently for the others because a staff member couldn't get them himself or herself, actually retweeting - and showing everyone who views the main page - something like this with only one source, even less information and only a low-quality drawing to show after denying the existence of Pokémon recorded in actual ''videos'' from a few sources, this particular post as if it should be considered any more believable than any other fake is... odd. And rather inconsistent with past standards. Why are we posting this on the main page after refusing to even mention ''much'' more believable information in the past before that was confirmed? (I know we label this as UNCONFIRMED. We didn't mention any of the aforementioned Pokémon even with such disclaimers. We're being inconsistent.) [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 16:28, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
:This was an apparent new Pokémon shown in a teaser at the end of M18. These are not uncommon (Victini and Trevenant were revealed in the same way). Multiple trusted Japanese movie-goers have confirmed that such a creature appeared in the teaser. The larger creature was shown in CoroCoro (and I had thought it was also shown after the movie, at the pre-screenings, but maybe this was not the case). It's worth noting that the same sources that reported the CoroCoro creature also reported this.
:The poster is someone who personally attended the movie and drew it from memory. Since they couldn't pause a cinematic movie (and as far as I can tell, didn't draw the picture while it was on-screen), it is entirely reasonable that they cannot precisely remember what they saw.
:It's also worth pointing out that while associated, BulbaNewsNOW and Bulbapedia are managed separately, so something that consensus hasn't determined to be reliable on Bulbapedia may be considered reliable for BNN to report. Additionally, this particular piece of news was even labelled as unconfirmed (much to some people's chagrin, since it is quite clear this is legitimate).
:Also, not mentioning Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion was because they had been discovered by datamining and had not been officially revealed (on the other hand, this creature has been officially revealed, in a sense). While I disagreed with this stance, I understood it. '''Bulbapedia did not deny their existence''' after the community had accepted them (when we only had screenshots of the names on the GTS, there was some skepticism, but I think that was entirely reasonable). Even so, since Bulbapedia ''does'' mention Volcanion now, it would not be inconsistent anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:53, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
::I knew about the larger form , but I wasn't aware that this was confirmed by the same moviegoers (or that there were more than one person backing up the "blob" to begin with!) as that because I had heard literally nothing about the "blob" until days ''after'' the larger form was shown in Corocoro. (In fairness, I also hadn't heard about the larger form before Corocoro, because everything I saw just said "Zygarde" and didn't even mention that it WAS a larger form, so I guess if people knew about that in advance, then that must back this up.) I was mainly suspicious because obviously the person had at least looked at it, and if it was as simple and mainly featureless as they claimed, it should be easy to remember better than they seemed to. But anyway, if they ''were'' revealed by the same people at the same time, then I guess that answers my question, so thanks. ^^ (And I didn't actually know that BNN is run by different people. That certainly explains it, haha. Good to know for the future.) [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 17:20, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
:::The larger creature was first revealed in CoroCoro. You are correct that everyone assumed it was a Zygarde form though, which—although likely—has not been confirmed. These things weren't necessarily revealed by the same people at the same time either; CoroCoro officially released a few days before the movie's official launch (but after the pre-screenings, which probably didn't show the teaser), and the Japanese people who watched the movie aren't necessarily the same as the person who uploaded the scan of the CoroCoro page.
:::As for BNN being run by separate people, all the people who run it (including me, the official coordinator of it) have ties to Bulbapedia, and they're both part of Bulbagarden, so it's not entirely independent. However, the people who make editorial decisions about BNN are quite different to those who make editorial decisions about Bulbapedia. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:58, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
:::Addition note: The large creature from CoroCoro also appears in the teaser. I failed to make that clear. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 18:13, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
::::I'm actually ''more'' confused by that post than I was before, so while I believe the Pokémon exists now because Ihave seen multiple other sources backing it up elsewhere, I'm going to respond to that post anyway. XD
::::"The larger creature was first revealed in CoroCoro." You said in your previous post "It's worth noting that the same sources that reported the CoroCoro creature also reported this," so I'm kind of confused as to what happened. o.o Was the Zygarde-looking thing revealed by the same people who posted this, or was CoroCoro the first source that mentioned the Zygarde-looking thing? (CoroCoro obviously didn't post this, so it's not possible for both to be the case.)
::::Also, I said that people were saying it was a Zygarde (as in not ''even'' a form, but just acting like it was a normal Zygarde), giving an example of me obviously being out of the loop if we apparently did already know about the Zygarde form before Corocoro (which apparently we didn't if your second post is right instead of your first?).
::::The BNN thing makes sense, though, at least. XD [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 15:59, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::Ah, okay, I get where you got confused. I meant all the same secondary sources who considered the CoroCoro page credible also considered this teaser credible, and both reported on it. I didn't mean that the information came from the same place. The giant creature people believe to be Zygarde was first seen in CoroCoro, but now has also been seen in the teaser (which did not air until after the official release of CoroCoro). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:24, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

== "Genderless" vs "gender unknown" ==

I'm pretty sure some person in some building in Unova or Kalos said something to the effect of "Pokémon have genders, like humans. They can be male, female, or even have unknown genders!" If I'm remembering correctly, that would mean that "gender unknown" is a more official term than "genderless". To be clear, I'm referring to gender (e.g., in the sentence "Cryogonal is the only genderless Pokémon, other than Mew, that can learn Attract."), not Egg group. Thoughts?

'''Hard Drop Tetris Wiki''' is a wiki focusing on the {{hdt|Tetris}} franchise. It joined the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] on January 17, 2014. Originally dubbed Tetris Concept, the Tetris Wiki was created by caffeine in March 2006. With Tetris Concept closing in June 2009, a member called Blink created Hard Drop the same month and incorporated the wiki into the site.

Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance

[[File:Niwalogo.png|frame|right|The logo of NIWA, featuring the hiragana {{tt|にわ|niwa}}, meaning "garden"]]
The '''Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance''', '''NIWA''' for short, is a network of wikis and their associated websites that aims to chronicle all things [[Nintendo]], supporting wikis independent of large corporate wiki groups, most notably {{wp|Wikia}}.

==History==
NIWA began as an expansion of the concept of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], shortly after the administration of [[Zelda Wiki]] contacted [[Archaic]], Bulbagarden's head, about a possible affiliation. It was jointly decided, shortly thereafter, that rather than a simple affiliation, an entire network of Nintendo-based wikis could be begun, and [[Super Mario Wiki]] was shortly asked to join as another founding member.

After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]].

Within two months more, preparations were complete for the launch of [[Metroid Wiki]] and [[WiKirby]], which had been spun off by users of the original trio of NIWA wikis, and they joined the group. [[Wars Wiki]], a wiki based on the age-old Nintendo Wars franchise, became the first member recruited from outside the original trio. Throughout October and mid-November, NIWA experienced a boost of wikis every week on Friday, starting with [[Lylat Wiki]] (October 1), then [[Pikipedia]] and [[Pikmin Fanon]] (October 8), [[StrategyWiki]] (October 15), [[SmashWiki]] (October 29), [[WikiBound]] (November 5), [[Donkey Kong Wiki]] (November 12), and [[Nookipedia]] (November 19). On November 30, [[Golden Sun Universe]] joined, notably on a Tuesday rather than Friday. [[NintendoWiki]], which had been worked on secretly for quite a time before, joined on December 10. After no new wikis joining for a several months, [[Fire Emblem Wiki]] joined on April 20, followed by [[Starfy Wiki]] on April 28. After nearly a year of no new wikis joining the alliance, [[F-Zero Wiki]] joined on March 16, 2012, followed by [[Icaruspedia]] on March 23, 2012. [[Dragon Quest Wiki]] joined on March 30, 2012. After nearly two years with no new wikis, [[Hard Drop Tetris Wiki]] joined on January 17, 2014, bringing the total to 22 wikis.

==Name==
NIWA's name, an acronym of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, is also romanized Japanese for "garden", symbolizing the natural growth of the community around the fandoms that make it up. This is fitting, given Nintendo's Japanese origins, and since romanization of Japanese is important for most of the wikis.

'''Televisions''' (also abbreviated '''TVs''') are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

===Kanto and Johto===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these [[generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

In Johto the Goldenrod Radio Tower broadcasts [[Goldenrod Radio Tower#Broadcasted programs|radio programs]].

====Teachy TV====
The {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which exists only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, airs the ''Poké Dude Show'', where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
*Start of the show
:''"Hey, all you <sc>Trainers</sc> out there! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> It's me, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>!"''
*Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
:''"All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the {{tt|super|Battling, status problems, type matchup and catching}}/{{tt|sorta super|Registering items}} <sc>Poké Dude Show</sc>!"''
*End of the show

===Hoenn===
{{main|Hoenn TV}}
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{key|III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

:''"Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the <sc>Trainer</sc> <player>. There's something about this <sc>Trainer</sc> that piqued our interest."''
:*For any battle after the first:
::''"We've battled <player> before, but we can attest that the <sc>Trainer</sc> has most definitely improved from before. I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this <sc>Trainer</sc>!"''
:''"The best way to determine how strong a <sc>Trainer</sc> is… Well, the fastest way is to battle. And so we began our investigation! … … That's how we ended up in battle with <player>. In a dominating performance we were flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside! <player> is ruthlessly strong… Here's our impressions after having battled our featured <sc>Trainer</sc>.
:*If Gabby and Ty were unable to land a successful attack:
::''"...I lost confidence in myself as a result of our encounter. We were beaten before we could launch a single attack. Ohhh... Snivel... In spite of that, <player>'s battles are worth seeing. I recommend confident <sc>Trainers</sc> to challenge <player>."''
:*If Gabby and Ty were able to land a successful attack and none of the player's Pokémon fainted:
::''"The combination of <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2> was divine! The sight of them--<final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>--selflessly supporting each other in the thick of battle… It was a marvelous sight to behold! <finishing move> was the move the <sc>Trainer</sc> used last in our battle. The move <move> is <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>'s sign of friendship!"''
:*If at least one of player's Pokémon fainted:
::''"Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>!"''
:''"After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The <sc>Trainer</sc> replied, "<word>."  <player>'s <sc>Pokémon</sc> <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good <sc>Trainer</sc> has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"''

=====Name Rater Show=====
{{incomplete|section}}

====Generation VI====
{{incomplete|section}}
All programs that were shown on televisions in the Generation III games are now shown on the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}. Televisions instead show programs similar to that of [[Kalos]].

===Sinnoh===
{{main|Jubilife TV}}
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Unova===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

====x:00–x:09====
During the first ten minutes of the hour, the TV shows are about various statistics about the player, such as how many times he or she has used the move {{m|Struggle}}.

=====Pokémon Trainer <player>=====
:''It's the cartoon "Pokémon Trainer <player>"''

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}" | Description in the show
! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Usefulness in real life
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|After You}}
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Magic Room}}
|Magic Room is a very basic move that causes items to have no effect for a certain amount of turns.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose a child is begging you to buy a toy. If you use this move at the exact moment the child picks up the toy, it will counter the "I want this" effect!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quash}}
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.
|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your [[type]] match your target's type.
|This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Shell Smash}}
|Shell Smash is a possibly risky move where the user's Speed, Attack, and Sp. Atk stats increase at the expense of defensive power.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, how about when you switch to a new school? This move could be the brand-new start you might need. It could change your whole life!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Sky Drop}}
|Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Smack Down}}
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Soak}}
|Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.
|Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Synchronoise}}
|Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.
|If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
|-
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{m|Venoshock}}
| style="background: #FFF" | Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!

|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the BrightPowder drops your opponent's accuracy to 90%! Oh, by the way, Lax Incense has the same effect as well!
|OK, Watchy! Come at me!
|Ooh, shiny!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Cell Battery}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When a Pokémon holding a Cell Battery is hit by an Electric-type attack, its Attack stat goes up!
|But you can only use it once. I already used mine, so I can't give it to you!
|I didn't want it anyway!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that hasn't evolved yet... Its Defense and Sp. Def both rise sharply! Isn't that amazing?!
|So, we'll see you later, then.
|What? That was a really short show!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the Expert Belt when attacking makes that attack do more damage when it's super effective! An amazing 20% more, in fact!
|OK, then...
|Hey! Why are you putting that on?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Float Stone}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases!
|Let's try giving one to Watchy right now!
|Hey! Are you calling me fat?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|C'mon! How could I know that?
|The one holding an Iron Ball can be hit by Ground-type moves, even if the holder is a Flying-type Pokémon or has the Levitate Ability!
|So, let's demonstrate! Watchy, heads up! Catch!
|Hey! Do I look like I can fly?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I always clean my plate, so
|When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!
|Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
|Hey! Why are you picking that up?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Life? I've got a bad feeling about this
|Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...
|Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!
|What? You're just ending it there?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
|Holding the Metronome and using the same move continuously makes that move do more and more damage! If the holder uses the same move six times in a row, the damage can double!
|So, here we go! Once, twice...
|Hey! Stop the music!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.
|Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!
|Hey! I'm not going to attack you!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it!
|That reminds me, I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
|Hey! That's not very nice!

|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}
| Come on! Of course I haven't!
| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
| I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
| No fair! You're not a Pokémon!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell, it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to!
|Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from?
|Hey! What are you looking at me for?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
|Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done!
|The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn't it?
|Hey! That's it? Just listening to it?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{DL|In-battle effect item|Zoom Lens}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|style="background: #FFF" | Come on! Like I'd know!
|style="background: #FFF" | Holding the Zoom Lens makes accuracy go up 20%! But it only works when the holder moves after the target.
|style="background: #FFF" | My motto is, strike first and strike hard!
|style="background: #FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That's an evil-looking stare!

:''Host: Wow, is that so? That means you can do massage for people too, right?! If you don't mind, my neck has been killing me... ...Oh, well, that's... erk... Maybe you're out of practice... ow ow OW! OK, that's enough, thanks! That was...ow... our report from Castelia City.

|-
|
:''Toru: YA, MINNA!''
:''In today’s “KOUKAN TALK,” I’m going to introduce something that’s often said to me.''
:''“You’re kidding!”''
:''There is often a lot of shocking news in my circle of friends.''
:''When I said I saw a bright red <lead Pokémon>, this is what they said to me!''
:''“Jodan deshou!”''
:''Jo-da-n de-sho-o!''
:''You’re kidding?!''
:''I’m serious!''
:''I saw a very angry <lead Pokémon>, and its face was bright red!''
:''...Man, I was scared!''
:''So that’s all for today! MATA KONDO, everyone!''
 
:''Toru: YA! MINNA! Are you enjoying life?''
:''It's time for this week's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is for asking your excellent Pokémon [[rival]] something, yeah!''
:''"How many [[Badge]]s have you got?"''
:''"Ikutsu bajji motteru?"''
:''Ii-ku-tsu ba ji mo te-ru?''
:''YEAH!''
:''With this, you can see how far your rival has progressed!''
:''Through Pokémon, everyone can be friends and rivals!''
:''On that note, I'm going to challenge the [[Gym]]s and collect more Badges! MATA NE!''
 
:''Azusa: HAAAAI! For good kids and even kids that are a little bad... It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's phrase is perfect for when two people's thoughts match up, as if by telepathy!
:''"I was thinking the same thing!"
:''"Chodo onaji koto kangaeteta!"''
:''Choh-do o-na-gee ko-to ka-n-ga-eh-te-ta!''
:''When I say this, the conversation always picks up steam, and then it can't stop!''
:''For that reason, that's it for today! JA MATA NE!''
 
:''Azusa: OSSU, MINNA! Yesterday, I fell in love with a TOTTEMO KAWAII Pokémon in the Musical!
:''This is what you say at that time!''
:''"I became your fan!"''
:''After that, I told it this in Japanese.''
:''"Anata no fan ni narimashita!"''
:''Ah-nah-ta no fan nee na-ri-ma-shee-ta!''
:''It was cute! So utterly KAWAII!''
:''My beloved <player's leading Pokémon>
:''Your double-flip jump is just too adorable to be legal!''
:''On that note, I'm going to the Musical again today! JA NE!
 
:''Azusa: Meowdy, MINNA! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's one phrase for communication is this:''
:''"Where did you find that?"''
:''This phrase can be useful whenever you need it!''
:''HAI! So this useful phrase goes like this in Japanese!
:''"Sore doko de mitsuketano?"''
:''So-re do-ko de mee-tsu-kay-tah no?''
:''When I meet Trainers with a cute <player's leading Pokémon>, I ask them that right away!"''
:''So with that, MATA ITSUKA AIMASHO! And adios!''
 
:''Azusa: OSSU, everybody!''
:''Are you so GENKI it's causing everyone else trouble?''
:''It's time for this week's highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This is today's phrase:''
:''"Where did you come from?"''
:''This is handy! You'll want to know where your opponent is from!''
:''If you want to say this in Japanese, it's like this!''
:''"Doko kara kita no?"''
:''Do-ko ka-ra kee-ta no?''
:''After that, there's no doubt you'll have fun talking about where you're from! Yeah!''
:''Ok, so, MATA NE! Bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hey, MINA SAN!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today, I'll teach you this question to ask when you see a Pokémon that you are interested in!"'
:''"Where did you catch that Pokémon?"'
:''"Sono Pokémono doko de tsukamaeta no?"''
:''So-no po-kay-mon do-koh de tsu-ka-mah-e-ta no?''
:''Then yo ucan go catch one for yourself!''
:''OK, that's it for today! MINNA, bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication!''
:''...Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me:''
:''"Your Pokémon looks different!"''
:''"Kawatta Pokémon da ne!"''
:''Ka-wa-tah p-kay-mo-n da ne!
:''I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>... BIKKURI!''
:''It was still wearing Props from the Musical! I forgot to take them off!''
:''Oops! That would look strange!''
:''HAI! That's it for today!''
:''MATA AIAMSHOU! See you!''
 
:''Toru: OSSU!''
:''Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party!''
:''The second I saw her, I thought I'd seen her before somewhere.''
:''But I couldn't remember her name!''
:''So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this:''
:''"Dokoka de atta koto arukke?"
:''Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh?
:''It means, "Have we met somewhere?"''
:''And what do you think she said to me? "What? I work with you every day. You're not serious, right?"''
:''IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAAA!''
:''So, that's it for today's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, Minna! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Nice meeting you!"''
:''Use this when parting with someone you just met!''
:''At time like this, I say:''
:''"Shiri aete yokatta!"''
:''Shee-ree ah-e-te yo-ka-ta!''
:''It's even better when you say this along with a firm handshake!''
:''OK, that's it for today!''
:''JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?!''
:''“KOUKAN TALK!” comin' atcha!''
:''Today's single phrase for communication is...''
:''"Let me see your Pokédex!"
:''Trainers are always interested in another Trainer's Pokédex!''
:''"Pokémon Zukan misete!"''
:''Po-kay-mo-n zu-ka-n mee-say-te!''
:''Now you can have a person who speaks Japanese show you their Pokédex! You have that? URAYAMASHII ZE!''
:''OK, have a great day! MATA NE! MINNA!''
 
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin'?!''
:''Ha ha! Whether you're feeling good or bad, it's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Check out this Pokémon!"''
:''This is like telling someone: Hey, have a look at my Pokémon! It's so cool! Wooo! When you want to say that in Japanese, say this!''
:''"Kono Pokémon mite!"''
:''Ko-no po-kay-mo-n mee-te!''
:''With this, you can show off your Pokémon to each other, right?''
:''OK, thanks for watching this week! MATA KONDO!''
 
:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today's “KOUKAN TALK,”''
:''we're going to teach you an aggressive way to proclaim your future victory!''
:''"I'm going to win!"''
:''"Katsu zo!"'
:''Ka-tsu zo!''
:''What is important is to emphasize the "zo!" Be aggressive and show where you stand!''
:''For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool.''
:''You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away!''
:''So that's it for today!''
:''Let's meet again! JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: KONNICHIWA, MINNA!''
:''We're getting back to the basics on today's "KOUKAN TALK!"''
:''Today, we will introduce a very basic phrase!''
:''"Let's trade!"''
:''I almost don't need to explain this phrase! Let's translate it!''
:''"Koukan shiyou yo!" Ko-o-ka-n shee-yo-o yo!''
:''What is important is to have a glint in your eye, like you're really excited!''
:''If you communicate your excitement, I'm sure you can make a good trade!''
:''So that's it for today! See you, everyone! JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: KONNICHI-HELLO!''
:''It's "KOUKAN TALK," which gives you great tips for talking in Japanese!''
:''Today's phrase is this! "What was that about!?"''
:''This is something you spout out without thinking when something unexpected happens!''
:''This is how you say it in Japanese! "Nandattendayo!"''
:''Na-n-da te-n-da-yo! The point is your expression.''
:''If you say this while making an expression that says, "What?" II YO!''
:''Well, that's it for today!''
:''Please look forward to next week's installment!''
:''MATA RAISHU!''

:''It suddenly pointed to the ocean and disappeared!''
:''I wanted to know what it was pointing at, so I walked toward the ocean...''
:''And then! A big boulder fell down from the cliff above!''

| {{p|Patrat}}
| Peeps
| [[Striaton City]]
| In a two-story home in Striaton City, the Patrat called Peeps lives with its Trainer. Its Trainer is also a Pokémon Breeder who is raising many Pokémon! And when its Trainer is really busy, Peeps lends a hand...or a paw! It plays with all the other Pokémon to give them some exercise and sometimes even gets them to settle down for the night. Today, Peeps has started a lively game of tag with some of the other Pokémon its Trainer is taking care of. They'll sleep well tonight after all that running!
|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{p|Zweilous}}
| Chow
| [[Opelucid City]]
| Near the gate of Opelucid City, the Zweilous Chow lives with its Trainer. Both Chow and its Trainer really love to eat! Anything you serve them, they'll gobble it right up. They even compete against each other in eating contests. Back when Chow was a Deino, its Trainer could eat faster... but now that Chow has evolved into a Zweilous, it has an extra mouth, so that's a big advantage! It's built up quite a winning streak with its two hungry hungry heads. That was the Zweilous, Chow, who eats a lot, but not as much as my Zweilous. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that is amazing... but, of course, not as amazing as mine!
|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{p|Minccino}}
| Julie
| [[Nimbasa City]]
| It's waiting in the wings in the Nimbasa City Musical for its cue to go on stage. This Minccino is named Julie! Julie and its Trainer have put so much effort into training for the Musical. They've worked really hard! And for Julie, the goal every day is to be the one that gets the most time in the spotlight! Julie and its Trainer have a real fire in their hearts when it comes to performing! That was the Minccino Julie, who stands out, just not as much as my Minccino. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that's really good at napping, but not as good as mine!
|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{p|Darumaka}}
| Gance
| [[Castelia City]]
| In a Castelia City office building, a Darumaka named Gance is having a Pokémon battle. Its Trainer is a Clerk ♂ who works in the building. This company takes Pokémon battles very seriously. In fact, work schedules, meeting agendas, and other important matters are all decided by battles! And so its Trainer won't have to work on weekends or do really boring jobs, Gance does its very best in every battle. The Darumaka Gance is a Pokémon with fighting spirit, but not as much as my Darumaka! On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that stands out, but not as much as mine!
|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{p|Purrloin}}
| Meg
| [[Nacrene City]]
| In Nacrene City's old warehouses, the Purrloin Meg lives with its Trainer. Meg's Trainer runs a store, and every morning, Meg goes to work with her. At the store, Meg is its Trainer's partner! It sits outside as a mascot and draws customers into the store. Today, it's even carrying a sign for the store to attract even more customers! That was the Purrloin Meg, who works hard, but not as hard as my Purrloin. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a little Pokémon with a lot of fighting spirit, but not as much as mine!
|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{p|Cubchoo}}
| Kodie
| [[Driftveil City]]
| In a small house in Driftveil City, the Cubchoo named Kodie lives with its Trainer. Kodie's Trainer is a Worker in the Cold Storage. Kodie tags along to work and takes a nap right there in the Cold Storage. Even when it's cold enough that its Trainer's teeth are chattering, Kodie naps away in perfect comfort! That was Kodie, who's very relaxed, but not as relaxed as my Cubchoo! On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that is patient, but not as patient as mine!

===Kalos===
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, the television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though the player will never watch the same program twice in a row). If the player watches the same television and does not exit the room, repeats of an episode they have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until the player exits the room.

Shows that are broadcast include:
*The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!
*KOUKAN TALK
*PokéQuiz
*Best of Sinnoh TV
*I-See News
*Gym Freaks
*What's That?
*Unova Sports Spectacular!
*The Pokémon Whisperer
*Nadia Reports (note this show is not given a title)

In Gym Freaks, the Gym Leader April interviews will always be rotated around in a certain order every time, moving in Badge order from the beginning. Each Gym Leader has two different possible commentaries, and after one of these is watched the other one can be viewed after cycling though the other Gym Leaders until the player returns to same Gym Leader they started with.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

[[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn!]]'', and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}. She and the ''Sinnoh Now'' staff have appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', and ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.

==Trivia==
* TVs are wider since the [[Generation IV]] games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions were used, not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

Why does the man during the Pokémon R.C. sometimes say that wild Ponyta can hold the Coba berry? I haven't been able to find one with it yet, so I don't know if it is an error or not. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 00:07, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Should the Unova Gym Leaders get links to the Gen V section of this page in the "National Gymquirer" subsection of their Quotes section? I ask because the Hoenn Gym Leaders get links to the Trainer's Eyes, which seems like a similar situation to me. I'd do it myself, but I thought since I'm a (relatively) new user, I should get the go-ahead from someone else before making an identical edit to a whole group of pages and filling up the Recent Changes.

===Kanto and Johto===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these [[generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

In Johto the Goldenrod Radio Tower broadcasts [[Goldenrod Radio Tower#Broadcasted programs|radio programs]].

====Teachy TV====
The {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which exists only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, airs the ''Poké Dude Show'', where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
*Start of the show
:''"Hey, all you <sc>Trainers</sc> out there! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> It's me, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>!"''
*Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
:''"All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the {{tt|super|Battling, status problems, type matchup and catching}}/{{tt|sorta super|Registering items}} <sc>Poké Dude Show</sc>!"''
*End of the show
:''"Remember, {{tt|<sc>Trainers</sc>,|Not in type matchups part}} a good deed a day brings happiness to stay!"''

====="Teach me how to battle."=====

|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about how you can battle <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Say you're out for a stroll when, suddenly, a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears! It's up to you to smartly use your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves to reduce the opponent's HP to nothing, and claim victory! I'll show you how to do that in person and for sure!"''
:''"The speedier of the battlers gets to attack first. It looks like my <sc>{{p|Rattata}}</sc> was faster than the <sc>{{p|Pidgey}}</sc>. The battlers take turns attacking and reducing each other's HP. My <sc>Rattata</sc> reduced the foe's HP to zero, so it wins! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> that took part in the battle get EXP. Points. When a <sc>Pokémon</sc> collects enough EXP. Points, it levels up. Leveling up makes your <sc>Pokémon</sc> stronger than before."''
:''"Well, did you get that? Even if your own <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s HP falls to zero, and it becomes unable to battle, not to worry! Just take it to any <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> and heal it!"''

====="What are status problems?"=====
{| class="expandable"

|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about [[Status condition|status problems]]! Status problems include {{status|poison}}ing, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, {{status|burn}}… There are a couple others, but they really are trouble. Get any one, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may become useless in battle. You know, it hurts the <sc>Poké Dude</sc> to see a <sc>Pokémon</sc> suffer… So, what should you do if your <sc>Pokémon</sc> gets a status problem? Well, you've got me to show you!
:"''Uh-oh… My <sc>Rattata</sc> has been poisoned… If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP steadily. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> develops a status proble, heal it right away. Using an item on a <sc>Pokémon</sc> uses up one turn, though. Now, it's the {{p|Oddish|opponent's}} turn! Yay! We managed to win!"''
:''"Poisoning or paralysis don't go away after a battle. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP even while you're walking. You should heal <sc>Pokémon</sc> of these kinds of problems right away. Use an item, or try to get to a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> for healing. That wasn't hard, was it? All righty, be seeing you!"''

====="What are type matchups?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Does everyone know about type matchups? <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves all belong to certain types. For example, there are such types as <sc>{{t|Grass}}</sc> and <sc>{{t|Water}}</sc>. You need to consider the type of the move used to attack… And, the type of the <sc>Pokémon</sc> that is hit by that attack. Depending on how those two types match up, the damage can change. You see, it depends n whether the type matchup is good or bad. If you don't know how matchups work, battles will be tough. So, let me demonstrate exactly what I mean. All righty, be seeing you!"''
:''"The move <sc>{{m|Bubble}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type attack. The targeted <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc>/<sc>{{t|Poison}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. The <sc>Water</sc>-type attack is absorbed by the <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… As a result, the move becomes not very effective, and inflicts only half the usual damage. Uh-oh, this is not good! The <sc>{{m|Absorb}}</sc> attack you just saw is a <sc>Grass</sc>-type move. <sc>{{p|Poliwag}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. So, <sc>Absorb</sc> becomes super effective, doubling the damage. It's not going to be easy to win with this matchup… Let's try shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc> in and out uses up one turn. Now, it's the opponent's turn. <sc>{{p|Butterfree}}</sc> is a <sc>{{t|Bug}}</sc>/<sc>{{t|Flying}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Against this <sc>Pokémon</sc>, a <sc>Grass</sc>-type attack……inflicts only half the usual damage on a <sc>Bug</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And, it also causes only half the damage on <sc>Flying</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Therefore, <sc>Butterfree</sc>, being a <sc>Bug</sc>/<sc>Flying</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>, only takes one quarter of the usual damage. <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc><sc>Poison</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A <sc>Flying</sc>- or <sc>Psychic</sc>-type attack is super effective against it. One of those types of attacks will inflict double the usual damage. Okay, here we go! Yeah! We won!"''
:''"Is it possible to launch an attack that will inflict heavy damage? Does the opposing <sc>Pokémon</sc> pose a threat to your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Is there any chance that it may have disastrously tough moves? Watch the type matchups to gain the upper hand! All righty, be seeing you! Oh, for the <sc>Cool</sc>-type <sc>Poké Dude</sc>, <sc>Awesome</sc>-type kids like you match up perfectly!"''

:''"When you're trying to catch a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't throw any <sc>[[Poké Ball]]s</sc> right away. First, you need to weaken it by reducing its HP. Okay, that should be good enough. But, if it's possible, it would be best if the target has a status problem. For instance, it would be easier to catch if it were asleep or paralyzed. This will make the <sc>Pokémon</sc> a lot easier to catch! Oh, yes. If you paralyze a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you can't make it fall asleep on top of paralysis. In other words, you can't double up status problems, okay? Okay! Let me throw my <sc>Poké Ball</sc>! Before you throw a <sc>Poké Ball</sc>, consider the condition and the type of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and pick the kind of <sc>Ball</sc> that would work best."''

:''"Hey, everyone! Do you all have [[TM]]s? A TM, Technical Machine, is an amazingly great item! It teaches <sc>Pokémon</sc> a move that it may not learn when leveling up! Isn't that just great? What a convenient world we live in! Open the [[List of key items in Generation III#TM Case|TM <sc>Case</sc>]] and check out the TMs you have. You can check them out in detail, too."''
:''"<sc>[[Normal (type)|Normal]]</sc>, <sc>Water</sc>, <sc>Grass</sc>… TMs also come in types. Check the type and teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that matches up well. For example, <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc> is suitable for <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. <sc>{{m|Bullet Seed}}</sc> is a move that most <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. There's one other thing! Don't just look at the type, read the description, too. It will contain hints about what <sc>Pokémon</sc> might learn the move. For example, take a move like <sc>{{m|Focus Punch}}</sc>. It doesn't sound like anything a bird or fish <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. So, try using it on <sc>Pokémon</sc> with arms that can throw punches!"''

I can register it for instant use, and I'll show you how!
:''And now, your <sc>Teachy</sc> TV is registered. How do you use it? Well, here's how it works. Once an item in the <sc>{{tt|Key Items Pokcet|[sic]}}</sc> is registered, you can use it by pressing <sc>Select</sc>. So, you've given yourself one-touch access to <sc>Teachy</sc> TV. All it takes for you to see me is pressing one button! That kind of attention is a little embarrasing! All righty, be seeing you!"''

===Hoenn===
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{key|III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

====Generation III====

=====Player's house=====
The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program.
:''There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.'' Better get going!

=====[[Gabby and Ty|Gabby]] interviews (''In Search of Trainers'')=====
:''"Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the <sc>Trainer</sc> <player>. There's something about this <sc>Trainer</sc> that piqued our interest."''
:*For any battle after the first:
::''"We've battled <player> before, but we can attest that the <sc>Trainer</sc> has most definitely improved from before. I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this <sc>Trainer</sc>!"''
:''"The best way to determine how strong a <sc>Trainer</sc> is… Well, the fastest way is to battle. And so we began our investigation! … … That's how we ended up in battle with <player>. In a dominating performance we were flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside! <player> is ruthlessly strong… Here's our impressions after having battled our featured <sc>Trainer</sc>.
:*If Gabby and Ty were unable to land a successful attack:
::''"...I lost confidence in myself as a result of our encounter. We were beaten before we could launch a single attack. Ohhh... Snivel... In spite of that, <player>'s battles are worth seeing. I recommend confident <sc>Trainers</sc> to challenge <player>."''
:*If Gabby and Ty were able to land a successful attack and none of the player's Pokémon fainted:
::''"The combination of <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2> was divine! The sight of them--<final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>--selflessly supporting each other in the thick of battle… It was a marvelous sight to behold! <finishing move> was the move the <sc>Trainer</sc> used last in our battle. The move <move> is <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>'s sign of friendship!"''
:*If at least one of player's Pokémon fainted:
::''"Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>!"''
:''"After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The <sc>Trainer</sc> replied, "<word>."  <player>'s <sc>Pokémon</sc> <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good <sc>Trainer</sc> has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"''

=====Name Rater Show=====
{{incomplete|section}}

====Generation VI====
{{incomplete|section}}
All programs that were shown on televisions in the Generation III games are now shown on the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}. Televisions instead show programs similar to that of [[Kalos]].

===Sinnoh===
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Unova===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

====x:00–x:09====
During the first ten minutes of the hour, the TV shows are about various statistics about the player, such as how many times he or she has used the move {{m|Struggle}}.

=====Pokémon Trainer <player>=====
:''It's the cartoon "Pokémon Trainer <player>"''
:''It’s the success story of the rookie Pokémon Trainer, <player>, who set out on a journey to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} a year ago!''

:''It's the cartoon "Pokémon Trainer <player>"''

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}" | Description in the show
! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Usefulness in real life
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|After You}}
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Magic Room}}
|Magic Room is a very basic move that causes items to have no effect for a certain amount of turns.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose a child is begging you to buy a toy. If you use this move at the exact moment the child picks up the toy, it will counter the "I want this" effect!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quash}}
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.
|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your [[type]] match your target's type.
|This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Shell Smash}}
|Shell Smash is a possibly risky move where the user's Speed, Attack, and Sp. Atk stats increase at the expense of defensive power.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, how about when you switch to a new school? This move could be the brand-new start you might need. It could change your whole life!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Sky Drop}}
|Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Smack Down}}
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Soak}}
|Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.
|Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Synchronoise}}
|Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.
|If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
|-
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{m|Venoshock}}
| style="background: #FFF" | Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Description
|- style="background: #FFF"

|If the opponent has a supereffective move or one-hit KO move, Anticipation will warn you so you can be prepared!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Cloud Nine}}
|Cloud Nine is great for travelers. It prevents effects from weather!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Contrary}}

|- style="background: #FFF"

|- style="background: #FFF"

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Harvest}}
|If a Pokémon with Harvest eats a Berry during battle, the Berry may regenerate at the end of the turn! It's like an all-you-can-eat Berry buffet!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Klutz}}
|Held items have no effect on a Pokémon with Klutz. It could even hold an Iron Ball without being weighed down!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Lightningrod}}
|If a Pokémon with Lightningrod is in battle, any Electric-type move will hit it. And getting hit by an Electric-type move boosts the Pokémon's Sp. Atk stat!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Magic Bounce}}
|Magic Bounce works like the move Magic Coat, but it's "on" all the time!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Mold Breaker}}
|A Pokémon with Mold Breaker can completely ignore its opponent's Ability when attacking.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Moody}}

=====What's That?=====
It follows a reporter and a {{p|Watchog}} named Watchy Watchog, presumably owned by the reporter, as they find and identify [[held item]]s introduced in Generation V.

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Watchy's translated reaction

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!
|Oh no! I popped it!!
|Hey! Nice one, clumsy!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Absorb Bulb}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When a Pokémon holding an Absorb Bulb is hit by a Water-type attack, its Sp. Atk stat goes up!
|But you can only use it once. Here, you can have this used one!
|Don't pawn your garbage off on me!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! It's big and it's a root!
|Holding the Big Root boosts the effect of moves that restore HP by 30%!
|OK! Shall we go?
|Hey! What's the deal with the trowel?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|The Binding Band increases the power of binding moves, like Wrap!
|Well, that's it for today!
|Hey? That's it?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the BrightPowder drops your opponent's accuracy to 90%! Oh, by the way, Lax Incense has the same effect as well!
|OK, Watchy! Come at me!
|Ooh, shiny!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Cell Battery}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When a Pokémon holding a Cell Battery is hit by an Electric-type attack, its Attack stat goes up!
|But you can only use it once. I already used mine, so I can't give it to you!
|I didn't want it anyway!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that hasn't evolved yet... Its Defense and Sp. Def both rise sharply! Isn't that amazing?!
|So, we'll see you later, then.
|What? That was a really short show!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the Expert Belt when attacking makes that attack do more damage when it's super effective! An amazing 20% more, in fact!
|OK, then...
|Hey! Why are you putting that on?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Float Stone}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases!
|Let's try giving one to Watchy right now!
|Hey! Are you calling me fat?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|C'mon! How could I know that?
|The one holding an Iron Ball can be hit by Ground-type moves, even if the holder is a Flying-type Pokémon or has the Levitate Ability!
|So, let's demonstrate! Watchy, heads up! Catch!
|Hey! Do I look like I can fly?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I always clean my plate, so
|When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!
|Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
|Hey! Why are you picking that up?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Life? I've got a bad feeling about this
|Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...
|Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!
|What? You're just ending it there?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
|Holding the Metronome and using the same move continuously makes that move do more and more damage! If the holder uses the same move six times in a row, the damage can double!
|So, here we go! Once, twice...
|Hey! Stop the music!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.
|Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!
|Hey! I'm not going to attack you!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it!
|That reminds me, I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
|Hey! That's not very nice!

|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}
| Come on! Of course I haven't!
| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
| I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
| No fair! You're not a Pokémon!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell, it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to!
|Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from?
|Hey! What are you looking at me for?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
|Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done!
|The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn't it?
|Hey! That's it? Just listening to it?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{DL|In-battle effect item|Zoom Lens}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|style="background: #FFF" | Come on! Like I'd know!
|style="background: #FFF" | Holding the Zoom Lens makes accuracy go up 20%! But it only works when the holder moves after the target.
|style="background: #FFF" | My motto is, strike first and strike hard!
|style="background: #FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That's an evil-looking stare!

:''Host: Wow, is that so? That means you can do massage for people too, right?! If you don't mind, my neck has been killing me... ...Oh, well, that's... erk... Maybe you're out of practice... ow ow OW! OK, that's enough, thanks! That was...ow... our report from Castelia City.

:''There is often a lot of shocking news in my circle of friends.''
:''When I said I saw a bright red <lead Pokémon>, this is what they said to me!''
:''“Jodan deshou!”''
:''Jo-da-n de-sho-o!''
:''You’re kidding?!''
:''I’m serious!''
:''I saw a very angry <lead Pokémon>, and its face was bright red!''
:''...Man, I was scared!''
:''So that’s all for today! MATA KONDO, everyone!''
 
:''Toru: YA! MINNA! Are you enjoying life?''
:''It's time for this week's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is for asking your excellent Pokémon [[rival]] something, yeah!''
:''"How many [[Badge]]s have you got?"''
:''"Ikutsu bajji motteru?"''
:''Ii-ku-tsu ba ji mo te-ru?''
:''YEAH!''
:''With this, you can see how far your rival has progressed!''
:''Through Pokémon, everyone can be friends and rivals!''
:''On that note, I'm going to challenge the [[Gym]]s and collect more Badges! MATA NE!''
 
:''Azusa: HAAAAI! For good kids and even kids that are a little bad... It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's phrase is perfect for when two people's thoughts match up, as if by telepathy!
:''"I was thinking the same thing!"

:''Choh-do o-na-gee ko-to ka-n-ga-eh-te-ta!''
:''When I say this, the conversation always picks up steam, and then it can't stop!''
:''For that reason, that's it for today! JA MATA NE!''
 
:''Azusa: OSSU, MINNA! Yesterday, I fell in love with a TOTTEMO KAWAII Pokémon in the Musical!
:''This is what you say at that time!''
:''"I became your fan!"''
:''After that, I told it this in Japanese.''
:''"Anata no fan ni narimashita!"''
:''Ah-nah-ta no fan nee na-ri-ma-shee-ta!''
:''It was cute! So utterly KAWAII!''
:''My beloved <player's leading Pokémon>
:''Your double-flip jump is just too adorable to be legal!''
:''On that note, I'm going to the Musical again today! JA NE!
 
:''Azusa: Meowdy, MINNA! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's one phrase for communication is this:''
:''"Where did you find that?"''
:''This phrase can be useful whenever you need it!''
:''HAI! So this useful phrase goes like this in Japanese!
:''"Sore doko de mitsuketano?"''
:''So-re do-ko de mee-tsu-kay-tah no?''
:''When I meet Trainers with a cute <player's leading Pokémon>, I ask them that right away!"''
:''So with that, MATA ITSUKA AIMASHO! And adios!''
 
:''Azusa: OSSU, everybody!''
:''Are you so GENKI it's causing everyone else trouble?''
:''It's time for this week's highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This is today's phrase:''
:''"Where did you come from?"''
:''This is handy! You'll want to know where your opponent is from!''
:''If you want to say this in Japanese, it's like this!''
:''"Doko kara kita no?"''
:''Do-ko ka-ra kee-ta no?''
:''After that, there's no doubt you'll have fun talking about where you're from! Yeah!''
:''Ok, so, MATA NE! Bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hey, MINA SAN!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today, I'll teach you this question to ask when you see a Pokémon that you are interested in!"'
:''"Where did you catch that Pokémon?"'
:''"Sono Pokémono doko de tsukamaeta no?"''
:''So-no po-kay-mon do-koh de tsu-ka-mah-e-ta no?''
:''Then yo ucan go catch one for yourself!''
:''OK, that's it for today! MINNA, bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication!''
:''...Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me:''
:''"Your Pokémon looks different!"''
:''"Kawatta Pokémon da ne!"''
:''Ka-wa-tah p-kay-mo-n da ne!
:''I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>... BIKKURI!''
:''It was still wearing Props from the Musical! I forgot to take them off!''
:''Oops! That would look strange!''
:''HAI! That's it for today!''
:''MATA AIAMSHOU! See you!''
 
:''Toru: OSSU!''
:''Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party!''
:''The second I saw her, I thought I'd seen her before somewhere.''
:''But I couldn't remember her name!''
:''So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this:''
:''"Dokoka de atta koto arukke?"
:''Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh?
:''It means, "Have we met somewhere?"''
:''And what do you think she said to me? "What? I work with you every day. You're not serious, right?"''
:''IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAAA!''
:''So, that's it for today's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, Minna! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Nice meeting you!"''
:''Use this when parting with someone you just met!''
:''At time like this, I say:''
:''"Shiri aete yokatta!"''
:''Shee-ree ah-e-te yo-ka-ta!''
:''It's even better when you say this along with a firm handshake!''
:''OK, that's it for today!''
:''JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?!''
:''“KOUKAN TALK!” comin' atcha!''
:''Today's single phrase for communication is...''
:''"Let me see your Pokédex!"
:''Trainers are always interested in another Trainer's Pokédex!''
:''"Pokémon Zukan misete!"''
:''Po-kay-mo-n zu-ka-n mee-say-te!''
:''Now you can have a person who speaks Japanese show you their Pokédex! You have that? URAYAMASHII ZE!''
:''OK, have a great day! MATA NE! MINNA!''
 
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin'?!''
:''Ha ha! Whether you're feeling good or bad, it's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Check out this Pokémon!"''
:''This is like telling someone: Hey, have a look at my Pokémon! It's so cool! Wooo! When you want to say that in Japanese, say this!''
:''"Kono Pokémon mite!"''
:''Ko-no po-kay-mo-n mee-te!''
:''With this, you can show off your Pokémon to each other, right?''
:''OK, thanks for watching this week! MATA KONDO!''
 
:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today's “KOUKAN TALK,”''
:''we're going to teach you an aggressive way to proclaim your future victory!''
:''"I'm going to win!"''
:''"Katsu zo!"'
:''Ka-tsu zo!''
:''What is important is to emphasize the "zo!" Be aggressive and show where you stand!''
:''For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool.''
:''You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away!''
:''So that's it for today!''
:''Let's meet again! JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: KONNICHIWA, MINNA!''
:''We're getting back to the basics on today's "KOUKAN TALK!"''
:''Today, we will introduce a very basic phrase!''
:''"Let's trade!"''
:''I almost don't need to explain this phrase! Let's translate it!''
:''"Koukan shiyou yo!" Ko-o-ka-n shee-yo-o yo!''
:''What is important is to have a glint in your eye, like you're really excited!''
:''If you communicate your excitement, I'm sure you can make a good trade!''
:''So that's it for today! See you, everyone! JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: KONNICHI-HELLO!''
:''It's "KOUKAN TALK," which gives you great tips for talking in Japanese!''
:''Today's phrase is this! "What was that about!?"''
:''This is something you spout out without thinking when something unexpected happens!''
:''This is how you say it in Japanese! "Nandattendayo!"''
:''Na-n-da te-n-da-yo! The point is your expression.''
:''If you say this while making an expression that says, "What?" II YO!''
:''Well, that's it for today!''
:''Please look forward to next week's installment!''
:''MATA RAISHU!''

They even compete against each other in eating contests. Back when Chow was a Deino, its Trainer could eat faster... but now that Chow has evolved into a Zweilous, it has an extra mouth, so that's a big advantage! It's built up quite a winning streak with its two hungry hungry heads. That was the Zweilous, Chow, who eats a lot, but not as much as my Zweilous.

Julie and its Trainer have a real fire in their hearts when it comes to performing! That was the Minccino Julie, who stands out, just not as much as my Minccino.

And so its Trainer won't have to work on weekends or do really boring jobs, Gance does its very best in every battle. The Darumaka Gance is a Pokémon with fighting spirit, but not as much as my Darumaka! On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that stands out, but not as much as mine!

It sits outside as a mascot and draws customers into the store. Today, it's even carrying a sign for the store to attract even more customers! That was the Purrloin Meg, who works hard, but not as hard as my Purrloin. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a little Pokémon with a lot of fighting spirit, but not as much as mine!

| Kodie
| [[Driftveil City]]
| In a small house in Driftveil City, the Cubchoo named Kodie lives with its Trainer. Kodie's Trainer is a Worker in the Cold Storage.

That was Kodie, who's very relaxed, but not as relaxed as my Cubchoo! On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that is patient, but not as patient as mine!

===Kalos===
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, the television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though the player will never watch the same program twice in a row). If the player watches the same television and does not exit the room, repeats of an episode they have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until the player exits the room.

Shows that are broadcast include:
*The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!
*KOUKAN TALK
*PokéQuiz
*Best of Sinnoh TV
*I-See News
*Gym Freaks
*What's That?
*Unova Sports Spectacular!
*The Pokémon Whisperer
*Nadia Reports (note this show is not given a title)

In Gym Freaks, the Gym Leader April interviews will always be rotated around in a certain order every time, moving in Badge order from the beginning. Each Gym Leader has two different possible commentaries, and after one of these is watched the other one can be viewed after cycling though the other Gym Leaders until the player returns to same Gym Leader they started with.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

[[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn!]]'', and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}. She and the ''Sinnoh Now'' staff have appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', and ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.

==Trivia==
* TVs are wider since the [[Generation IV]] games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions were used, not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

Evolution

2015-04-10T01:03:34Z

Enervation: /* Intro */

{{samename|set in {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}|Evolution (GB1)}}
[[File:Evotag.png|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
'''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''evolution'') is a process in which a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} changes into a different species of Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[Nature]] and {{EV}}s, as well as {{shiny|shininess}}, are preserved. With respect to real-world phenomena, Pokémon Evolution is more similar to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than {{wp|evolution}}.

[[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon Evolution. According to the latter's research, over 90% of all Pokémon are connected to at least one other through Evolution. (This is true only if Legendary Pokémon are excluded.) Rowan is currently investigating whether Evolution is a form of maturity in Pokémon, and looking at the implications this process has on Legendary Pokémon, which don't evolve.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}} or a Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]], make a Pokémon Egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will ultimately be able to follow only one evolutionary path.

===Stages of evolution===
[[File:Piplup family anime.png|thumb|240px|right|Piplup evolution family in the anime]]
Pokémon can be divided into different evolutionary stages, based on where they appear in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the {{Trading Card Game}}'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now consider it to be more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remains the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] are a part of (excluding the starter {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}, as {{p|Pichu}} did not yet exist and it could not be evolved into {{p|Raichu}}; and {{p|Eevee}}, which could only be taken by {{ga|Blue}}), as well as all [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|}
|}

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line}}
The least common type of evolution family is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives are [[Legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 61 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-Legendary Pokémon that do not evolve ({{p|Phione}} is not included due to its status as a Legendary being disputed).

Not belonging to an evolutionary family is not indicative of strength, or a lack thereof. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Luvdisc}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving eight different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves, and some Pokémon have a unique evolution method. The most common of them is Evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Other methods include the following:
*leveling up when [[friendship]] has reached {{tt|a high level|a friendship of 220 or greater}}
*leveling up while holding an item
*leveling up while knowing a certain move or a move of a certain type
*leveling up in a certain location
*[[trade|trading]] the Pokémon
*trading the Pokémon while [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]]
*trading the [[Karrablast (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] for specific [[Shelmet (Pokémon)|Pokémon]]
*using an [[evolutionary stone]] on it
*leveling up with a certain Pokémon or Pokémon of a certain type in the party
*leveling up while the [[3DS]] is upside-down
*level up or high friendship based on [[Time|time of day]]
*level up a [[Sliggoo (Pokémon)|Pokémon]] during certain [[weather conditions]].
Additionally, holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} prevents a Pokémon from evolving, as well as surprising a Pokémon via the B Button. The latter method is known as an "Evolution cancel".

Pokémon that get [[Fainting|knocked out]] during a {{pkmn|battle}} will evolve at the end of that battle if its requirements have been met. However, before [[Generation VI]], losing a battle would make Pokémon not evolve even if the conditions have been met.

Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will usually have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both being initiated by [[evolutionary stone]] or by trading while [[held item|holding an item]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

Some Pokémon have different evolutions depending on their gender. For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all. Meanwhile, all {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}, but females ones have the option of evolving into {{p|Froslass}} instead. This instance occurs in a similar way with {{p|Kirlia}}, albeit with males having split evolution instead.

Also, there have been situations in which the current party must be configured in a specific manner for some Pokémon to evolve. So far, only three Pokémon need to have these special requirements. {{p|Mantyke}} will evolve into {{p|Mantine}} if leveled up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party. {{p|Nincada}} will evolve into {{p|Ninjask}} when it reaches level 20. However, if there happens to be an empty space in the player's party (and a spare [[Poké Ball]] in Generation IV onward), a {{p|Shedinja}} will also appear in the party. {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} if its level is 32 or higher and there is a Dark-type Pokémon in the player's party.

Some Pokémon evolve in other unique ways. If one trades a {{p|Karrablast}} for a {{p|Shelmet}}, they will evolve into {{p|Escavalier}} and {{p|Accelgor}}, respectively, though neither will evolve if one of them holds an {{evostone|Everstone}}. When {{p|Inkay}} reaches level 30, the player must hold the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] upside-down for it to evolve into {{p|Malamar}}. Also introduced was a weather-based evolution: {{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} beginning at level 50 only if it is [[rain]]ing in the area that the player is in. Finally, {{p|Sylveon}} can only be obtained be leveling up an {{p|Eevee}} that knows any {{type|Fairy}} moves and has at least two hearts of affection in [[Pokémon-Amie]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Slowking evolution anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}} evolving into {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
[[File:Kakuna evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|left|{{p|Kakuna}} evolving into {{p|Beedrill}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'']]
[[File:Shelmet evolution Best Wishes.png|thumb|200px|right|Evolution in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
In the anime, Evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolutions and [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place (It should be noted that Poliwhirl had been through a machine in connection with it being healed at the Pokémon Center, while holding the item). When a {{p|Beedrill}} attacked Ash's {{p|Metapod}}, it caused a crack to appear on its shell, which {{AP|Butterfree}} came out of.

Additionally, a difference can be seen in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}. In addition, Pokémon can sometimes choose not to evolve, even if they evolve by a 'natural' method such as leveling up. It appears that Evolution has emotional implications for Pokémon - some Pokémon, such as Team Rocket's {{MTR}}, dislike their evolved forms, while others such as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} simply want to prove they can be powerful without evolving. Conversely, when Pokémon do evolve, this can often be linked with an experience that causes them to mature emotionally or deal with an emotional issue, such as when the {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' evolved, or the {{p|Paras}} in ''[[EP044|The Problem With Paras]]''. Poochyena, for some reason, had an aversion to using the move {{m|Bite}}, while Paras was extremely timid and weak in battle. Both of them evolved shortly after overcoming these issues.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
'''Evolution''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is very similar in some aspects to its counterpart in the [[core series]]. However, it differs mostly in the fact that there are no different methods needed to evolve a Pokémon, but instead, all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into.

Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or on the first turn they come into play. They also cannot be evolved if on the same turn they were previously evolved or devolved.

===Stages of evolution===
There are four different stages of evolution in the TCG, Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, Stage 1 Pokémon, and Stage 2 Pokémon. Of these, only Baby and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on each and every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the four generations of cards.

Within the deck and discard pile, only Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards are considered to be "evolution cards" for the purpose of a Trainer card or Pokémon Power which allows them to be searched for. In play, a Basic Pokémon card can be considered an evolution card if it is evolved from its Baby stage.

====Baby Pokémon====
{{main|Baby Pokémon#In the TCG|Baby Pokémon}}
A Baby Pokémon is much the same in the TCG as it is in the core series of games. In fact, as with baby Pokémon released beyond [[Generation II]], it is not even necessary for a Pokémon to even go through this stage of their evolutionary line, as the Pokémon can just start from their basic form. Baby Pokémon are among the weakest in the TCG, most often having 30 HP, as well as one of two special {{TCG|Poké-Body}}s: one prevents all damage done to the Baby Pokémon while it is Asleep (Baby Pokémon with this Poké-Body also usually have an attack that changes their status to Asleep), and the other forces a Pokémon attempting to attack the Baby Pokémon to flip a coin, the attack doing nothing if that coin ends up tails.

====Basic Pokémon====
A Basic Pokémon is the most basic of Pokémon cards, as can be deduced from its name. Commonly basic Pokémon will have low HP, a common rarity, and low damage and {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} costs. These cards can be placed directly into play without another Pokémon card needing to be in play first. Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon released in a later generation, such as {{p|Electabuzz}} or {{p|Pikachu}}, always are basic Pokémon, despite being the second Pokémon in their own evolutionary lines. Baby Pokémon, {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Pokémon ☆|Pokémon}} {{Star}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} are always Basic, the latter three cannot evolve.

====Stage 1 Pokémon====
A Stage 1 Pokémon are the first kind of evolution card, being able to be evolved from a Basic Pokémon. Stage 1 cards are most commonly uncommon in rarity. Stage 1 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Stage 2 Pokémon====
A Stage 2 Pokémon is the highest of evolution cards, commonly rare or holographic in rarity, and can only, in normal conditions, be evolved from a Stage 1 Pokémon. Stage 2 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution#In the TCG|Mega Evolution}}
M Pokémon-EX cards were introduced in {{TCG|XY}} [[#Expansion|expansion]] and introduce the '''Mega Evolution''' mechanic featured in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. They are identified by a stylized {{Mega}} graphic on the card name. M Pokémon-EX can only be played by Mega Evolving from basic {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Doing so ends a players {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Turn}} immediately. Other than this, M Pokémon-EX share the same rules and design as regular Pokémon-EX and evolving Pokémon, with the addition of boosted {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}} and more powerful {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Attack}}s.

===Ability to evolve===
A Pokémon card that is in the player's hand must say specifically that it evolves from a Pokémon card that is in play on the player's side. For example, {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Blastoise|3}} states on the card "'''Evolves from Dark Wartortle'''". This means that any card named Dark Wartortle may be evolved into Dark Blastoise. However, a card simply named Wartortle cannot. Likewise, Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Rhyhorn|62}} cannot be evolved into a Pokémon that says on it "'''Evolves from Team Magma's Rhyhorn'''".

However, Pokémon cards from different sets may evolve into one another. For example, {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Crobat|2}} can evolve from either {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golbat|7}} of the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set or {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Golbat|34}} of the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} set. So long as the card names match precisely both TO (here Dark Crobat) and FROM (here Dark Golbat), the evolution is legal. This rule, of course, can be circumvented by certain means, such as {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, however, this is not common.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to {{wp|evolution|actual evolution}}. This is because real life evolution happens to a population rather than to individuals, and happens over much larger time scales than in the Pokémon world. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it is mentioned that Pokémon Evolution is an entirely separate phenomenon from the normal process of evolution, and is a mysterious ability exclusive to Pokémon that is still not fully understood.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Feebas}} are the only two Pokémon that reach their next evolutionary forms in multiple ways. Whereas in the handheld games, Eevee becomes {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} with high [[friendship]] when leveled up depending on the [[time]] of day, in {{Pokémon XD}} it evolves when raised a level when the [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]] is in the [[bag]]. This is because Pokémon XD, like {{g|Colosseum}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, lacks a time function. Feebas, meanwhile, evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when its [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty condition]] is high, which cannot be done in the [[Generation V]] games or {{game|X and Y}} unless the Feebas had its Beauty condition raised in [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] previously. Due to this, the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Prism Scale}} was introduced, so that Feebas caught in the wild or bred in [[Generation V]] onward would be able to evolve freely.

Enervation: /* What's That? */ Added some B2W2 info based on projectpokemon.org/rawdb/black2/msg2/662.php

{{search|household appliance|Secret Base decoration|Ornament#TVs|TVs}}
{{incomplete|2=Missing sections within shows in the Pokémon world}}
'''Televisions''' (also abbreviated '''TVs''') are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==In the games==
===Generations I and II===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these [[generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Generation III===
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{key|III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

===Generation IV===
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

===Generation VI===
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, The television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though you will never watch the same program twice in a row). If you watch the same television and do not exit the room, repeats of an episode you have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until you exit the room.

Shows that are broadcast include:
*The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!
*KOUKAN TALK
*PokéQuiz
*Best of Sinnoh TV
*I-See News
*Gym Freaks
*What's That?
*Unova Sports Spectacular!
*The Pokémon Whisperer
*Nadia Reports (note this show is not given a title)

In Gym Freaks, the Gym Leader April interviews will always be rotated around in a certain order every time, moving in Badge order from the one you started at. Each Gym Leader has two different possible commentaries, and after one of these is watched the other one can be viewed after cycling though the other Gym Leaders until you come back to same Gym Leader you started with.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Once, however, in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', [[Jessie]] and [[James]] pretend to make a live broadcast on {{Ash}}'s special dinner in his house in [[Pallet Town]]. The meal commemorates his departure for [[Johto]], which will happen the next day. During the report, they devour some of the food, trap [[Ash's Pikachu]] inside the supposed camera, and soon flee from the house. Fortunately for Ash and {{ashfr}}, [[Tracey's Scyther]] frees Pikachu by cutting through the camera.

[[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn!]]'', and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}. She and the ''Sinnoh Now'' staff have appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', and ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.

==Television shows in the Pokémon world==
===Kanto===
In [[Kanto]], specifically in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, all televisions except the one in the living room of the [[Player's House (Kanto)|player's house]] cannot be interacted with. The one that can be interacted with displays a movie.

====Teachy TV====
The {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which exists only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, airs the ''Poké Dude Show'', where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
*Start of the show
:''"Hey, all you <sc>Trainers</sc> out there! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> It's me, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>!"''
*Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
:''"All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the {{tt|super|Battling, status problems, type matchup and catching}}/{{tt|sorta super|Registering items}} <sc>Poké Dude Show</sc>!"''
*End of the show
:''"Remember, {{tt|<sc>Trainers</sc>,|Not in type matchups part}} a good deed a day brings happiness to stay!"''

====="Teach me how to battle."=====
{| class="expandable"

|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about how you can battle <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Say you're out for a stroll when, suddenly, a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears! It's up to you to smartly use your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves to reduce the opponent's HP to nothing, and claim victory! I'll show you how to do that in person and for sure!"''
:''"The speedier of the battlers gets to attack first. It looks like my <sc>{{p|Rattata}}</sc> was faster than the <sc>{{p|Pidgey}}</sc>. The battlers take turns attacking and reducing each other's HP. My <sc>Rattata</sc> reduced the foe's HP to zero, so it wins! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> that took part in the battle get EXP. Points. When a <sc>Pokémon</sc> collects enough EXP. Points, it levels up. Leveling up makes your <sc>Pokémon</sc> stronger than before."''
:''"Well, did you get that? Even if your own <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s HP falls to zero, and it becomes unable to battle, not to worry! Just take it to any <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> and heal it!"''

:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about [[Status condition|status problems]]! Status problems include {{status|poison}}ing, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, {{status|burn}}… There are a couple others, but they really are trouble. Get any one, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may become useless in battle. You know, it hurts the <sc>Poké Dude</sc> to see a <sc>Pokémon</sc> suffer… So, what should you do if your <sc>Pokémon</sc> gets a status problem? Well, you've got me to show you!
:"''Uh-oh… My <sc>Rattata</sc> has been poisoned… If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP steadily. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> develops a status proble, heal it right away. Using an item on a <sc>Pokémon</sc> uses up one turn, though. Now, it's the {{p|Oddish|opponent's}} turn! Yay! We managed to win!"''
:''"Poisoning or paralysis don't go away after a battle. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP even while you're walking. You should heal <sc>Pokémon</sc> of these kinds of problems right away. Use an item, or try to get to a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> for healing. That wasn't hard, was it? All righty, be seeing you!"''

====="What are type matchups?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Does everyone know about type matchups? <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves all belong to certain types. For example, there are such types as <sc>{{t|Grass}}</sc> and <sc>{{t|Water}}</sc>. You need to consider the type of the move used to attack… And, the type of the <sc>Pokémon</sc> that is hit by that attack. Depending on how those two types match up, the damage can change. You see, it depends n whether the type matchup is good or bad. If you don't know how matchups work, battles will be tough. So, let me demonstrate exactly what I mean. All righty, be seeing you!"''
:''"The move <sc>{{m|Bubble}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type attack. The targeted <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc>/<sc>{{t|Poison}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. The <sc>Water</sc>-type attack is absorbed by the <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… As a result, the move becomes not very effective, and inflicts only half the usual damage. Uh-oh, this is not good! The <sc>{{m|Absorb}}</sc> attack you just saw is a <sc>Grass</sc>-type move. <sc>{{p|Poliwag}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. So, <sc>Absorb</sc> becomes super effective, doubling the damage. It's not going to be easy to win with this matchup… Let's try shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc> in and out uses up one turn. Now, it's the opponent's turn. <sc>{{p|Butterfree}}</sc> is a <sc>{{t|Bug}}</sc>/<sc>{{t|Flying}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Against this <sc>Pokémon</sc>, a <sc>Grass</sc>-type attack……inflicts only half the usual damage on a <sc>Bug</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And, it also causes only half the damage on <sc>Flying</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Therefore, <sc>Butterfree</sc>, being a <sc>Bug</sc>/<sc>Flying</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>, only takes one quarter of the usual damage. <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc><sc>Poison</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A <sc>Flying</sc>- or <sc>Psychic</sc>-type attack is super effective against it. One of those types of attacks will inflict double the usual damage. Okay, here we go! Yeah! We won!"''
:''"Is it possible to launch an attack that will inflict heavy damage? Does the opposing <sc>Pokémon</sc> pose a threat to your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Is there any chance that it may have disastrously tough moves? Watch the type matchups to gain the upper hand! All righty, be seeing you!

:''"When you're trying to catch a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't throw any <sc>[[Poké Ball]]s</sc> right away. First, you need to weaken it by reducing its HP. Okay, that should be good enough. But, if it's possible, it would be best if the target has a status problem. For instance, it would be easier to catch if it were asleep or paralyzed. This will make the <sc>Pokémon</sc> a lot easier to catch! Oh, yes. If you paralyze a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you can't make it fall asleep on top of paralysis. In other words, you can't double up status problems, okay? Okay! Let me throw my <sc>Poké Ball</sc>!

===Johto===
There are no television shows in [[Johto]] as they are replaced by [[Goldenrod Radio Tower#Broadcasted programs|radio programs]].

===Hoenn===
[[Hoenn]] was the first region to have multiple TV shows available in a single game. However, they only show programs when an event occurs. In that case, they will be flashing. Otherwise, the TV usually displays "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''"

====Player's house====
The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program.
:''There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.'' Better get going!

====[[Gabby and Ty|Gabby]] interviews (''In Search of Trainers'')====
:''"Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the <sc>Trainer</sc> <player>. There's something about this <sc>Trainer</sc> that piqued our interest."''
:*For any battle after the first:
::''"We've battled <player> before, but we can attest that the <sc>Trainer</sc> has most definitely improved from before. I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this <sc>Trainer</sc>!"''
:''"The best way to determine how strong a <sc>Trainer</sc> is… Well, the fastest way is to battle. And so we began our investigation! … … That's how we ended up in battle with <player>. In a dominating performance we were flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside! <player> is ruthlessly strong… Here's our impressions after having battled our featured <sc>Trainer</sc>.
:*If Gabby and Ty were unable to land a successful attack:
::''"...I lost confidence in myself as a result of our encounter. We were beaten before we could launch a single attack. Ohhh... Snivel... In spite of that, <player>'s battles are worth seeing. I recommend confident <sc>Trainers</sc> to challenge <player>."''
:*If Gabby and Ty were able to land a successful attack and none of the player's Pokémon fainted:
::''"The combination of <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2> was divine! The sight of them--<final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>--selflessly supporting each other in the thick of battle… It was a marvelous sight to behold! <finishing move> was the move the <sc>Trainer</sc> used last in our battle. The move <move> is <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>'s sign of friendship!"''
:*If at least one of player's Pokémon fainted:
::''"Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>!"''
:''"After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The <sc>Trainer</sc> replied, "<word>."  <player>'s <sc>Pokémon</sc> <final Pokémon 1> and <final Pokémon 2>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good <sc>Trainer</sc> has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"''

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}" | Description in the show
! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Usefulness in real life
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|After You}}
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quash}}
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.
|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your [[type]] match your target's type.
|This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Sky Drop}}
|Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Smack Down}}
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Soak}}
|Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.
|Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Synchronoise}}
|Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.
|If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
|-
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{m|Venoshock}}
| style="background: #FFF" | Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Description
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Anticipation}}
|If the opponent has a supereffective move or one-hit KO move, Anticipation will warn you so you can be prepared!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Contrary}}
|Contrary makes stat changes go topsy-turvy! For example, if a Pokémon with Contrary gets hit by a move that lowers its Speed, it will have the opposite effect! That's right. Its Speed will increase!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Cursed Body}}
|If a Pokémon with Cursed Body is damaged by a move, sometimes that move can be disabled so the foe can't use it anymore!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Damp}}
|If a Pokémon with Damp is in battle, moves like {{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Selfdestruct}} can't be used.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Download}}
| A Pokémon with Download can take advantage of its opponent's weaknesses. If the opponent's Defense is lower than its Sp. Def, the Pokémon's Attack will be boosted. If the opponent's Sp. Def is lower than its Defense, the Pokémon's Sp. Atk will be boosted.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Harvest}}
|If a Pokémon with Harvest eats a Berry during battle, the Berry may regenerate at the end of the turn! It's like an all-you-can-eat Berry buffet!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Klutz}}
|Held items have no effect on a Pokémon with Klutz. It could even hold an Iron Ball without being weighed down!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Lightningrod}}
|If a Pokémon with Lightningrod is in battle, any Electric-type move will hit it. And getting hit by an Electric-type move boosts the Pokémon's Sp. Atk stat!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Magic Bounce}}
|Magic Bounce works like the move Magic Coat, but it's "on" all the time!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Mold Breaker}}
|A Pokémon with Mold Breaker can completely ignore its opponent's Ability when attacking.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Moody}}
|During a battle, Moody raises one stat and lowers another at the end of each turn.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Pickup}}
|A Pokémon with Pickup can get the effect of an item an opponent has used in battle. It also picks up various items when it is not battling.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Prankster}}
|Prankster gives priority to status moves like Screech!
|-
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Rattled}}

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Sheer Force}}
|A Pokémon with Sheer Force gets a power boost for moves that normally have additional effects, but the additional effects won't occur!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{a|Sturdy}}

|-
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{a|Weak Armor}}
| style="background: #FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | When a Pokémon with Weak Armor is hit by a [[physical move|physical attack]], its Defense will be lowered, but its Speed will go up!
|}

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!
|Oh no! I popped it!!
|Hey! Nice one, clumsy!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Absorb Bulb}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When a Pokémon holding an Absorb Bulb is hit by a Water-type attack, its Sp. Atk stat goes up!
|But you can only use it once. Here, you can have this used one!
|Don't pawn your garbage off on me!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! It's big and it's a root!
|Holding the Big Root boosts the effect of moves that restore HP by 30%!
|OK! Shall we go?
|Hey! What's the deal with the trowel?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|The Binding Band increases the power of binding moves, like Wrap!
|Well, that's it for today!
|Hey? That's it?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|BrightPowder}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the BrightPowder drops your opponent's accuracy to 90%! Oh, by the way, Lax Incense has the same effect as well!
|OK, Watchy! Come at me!
|Ooh, shiny!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Cell Battery}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When a Pokémon holding a Cell Battery is hit by an Electric-type attack, its Attack stat goes up!
|But you can only use it once. I already used mine, so I can't give it to you!
|I didn't want it anyway!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that hasn't evolved yet... Its Defense and Sp. Def both rise sharply! Isn't that amazing?!
|So, we'll see you later, then.
|What? That was a really short show!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Expert Belt}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the Expert Belt when attacking makes that attack do more damage when it's super effective! An amazing 20% more, in fact!
|OK, then...
|Hey! Why are you putting that on?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Float Stone}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases!
|Let's try giving one to Watchy right now!
|Hey! Are you calling me fat?!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|C'mon! How could I know that?
|The one holding an Iron Ball can be hit by Ground-type moves, even if the holder is a Flying-type Pokémon or has the Levitate Ability!
|So, let's demonstrate! Watchy, heads up! Catch!
|Hey! Do I look like I can fly?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I always clean my plate, so
|When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!
|Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
|Hey! Why are you picking that up?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Life? I've got a bad feeling about this
|Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...
|Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!
|What? You're just ending it there?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
|Holding the Metronome and using the same move continuously makes that move do more and more damage! If the holder uses the same move six times in a row, the damage can double!
|So, here we go! Once, twice...
|Hey! Stop the music!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Red Card}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.
|Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!
|Hey! I'm not going to attack you!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it!
|That reminds me, I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
|Hey! That's not very nice!

|- style="background: #FFF"
| {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}
| Come on! Of course I haven't!
| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
| I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
| No fair! You're not a Pokémon!

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell, it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to!
|Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from?
|Hey! What are you looking at me for?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
|Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done!
|The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn't it?
|Hey! That's it? Just listening to it?

|- style="background: #FFF"
|style="background: #FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{DL|In-battle effect item|Zoom Lens}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}

:''When I said I saw a bright red <lead Pokémon>, this is what they said to me!''
:''“Jodan deshou!”''

:''You’re kidding?!''
:''I’m serious!''
:''I saw a very angry <lead Pokémon>, and its face was bright red!''
:''...Man, I was scared!''
:''So that’s all for today! MATA KONDO, everyone!''
 
:''Toru: YA! MINNA! Are you enjoying life?''
:''It's time for this week's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is for asking your excellent Pokémon [[rival]] something, yeah!''
:''"How many [[Badge]]s have you got?"''
:''"Ikutsu bajji motteru?"''
:''Ii-ku-tsu ba ji mo te-ru?''
:''YEAH!''
:''With this, you can see how far your rival has progressed!''
:''Through Pokémon, everyone can be friends and rivals!''
:''On that note, I'm going to challenge the [[Gym]]s and collect more Badges! MATA NE!''
 
:''Azusa: HAAAAI! For good kids and even kids that are a little bad... It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's phrase is perfect for when two people's thoughts match up, as if by telepathy!
:''"I was thinking the same thing!"
:''"Chodo onaji koto kangaeteta!"''
:''Choh-do o-na-gee ko-to ka-n-ga-eh-te-ta!''

:''It was cute! So utterly KAWAII!''
:''My beloved <player's leading Pokémon>
:''Your double-flip jump is just too adorable to be legal!''
:''On that note, I'm going to the Musical again today! JA NE!
 
:''Azusa: Meowdy, MINNA! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's one phrase for communication is this:''
:''"Where did you find that?"''
:''This phrase can be useful whenever you need it!''
:''HAI! So this useful phrase goes like this in Japanese!
:''"Sore doko de mitsuketano?"''
:''So-re do-ko de mee-tsu-kay-tah no?''
:''When I meet Trainers with a cute <player's leading Pokémon>, I ask them that right away!"''
:''So with that, MATA ITSUKA AIMASHO! And adios!''
 
:''Azusa: OSSU, everybody!''
:''Are you so GENKI it's causing everyone else trouble?''
:''It's time for this week's highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This is today's phrase:''
:''"Where did you come from?"''
:''This is handy! You'll want to know where your opponent is from!''
:''If you want to say this in Japanese, it's like this!''
:''"Doko kara kita no?"''
:''Do-ko ka-ra kee-ta no?''
:''After that, there's no doubt you'll have fun talking about where you're from! Yeah!''
:''Ok, so, MATA NE! Bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hey, MINA SAN!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today, I'll teach you this question to ask when you see a Pokémon that you are interested in!"'
:''"Where did you catch that Pokémon?"'
:''"Sono Pokémono doko de tsukamaeta no?"''
:''So-no po-kay-mon do-koh de tsu-ka-mah-e-ta no?''
:''Then yo ucan go catch one for yourself!''
:''OK, that's it for today! MINNA, bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication!''
:''...Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me:''
:''"Your Pokémon looks different!"''
:''"Kawatta Pokémon da ne!"''
:''Ka-wa-tah p-kay-mo-n da ne!
:''I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>... BIKKURI!''
:''It was still wearing Props from the Musical! I forgot to take them off!''
:''Oops! That would look strange!''
:''HAI! That's it for today!''
:''MATA AIAMSHOU! See you!''
 
:''Toru: OSSU!''
:''Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party!''
:''The second I saw her, I thought I'd seen her before somewhere.''
:''But I couldn't remember her name!''
:''So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this:''
:''"Dokoka de atta koto arukke?"
:''Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh?
:''It means, "Have we met somewhere?"''
:''And what do you think she said to me? "What? I work with you every day. You're not serious, right?"''
:''IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAAA!''
:''So, that's it for today's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, Minna! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Nice meeting you!"''
:''Use this when parting with someone you just met!''
:''At time like this, I say:''
:''"Shiri aete yokatta!"''
:''Shee-ree ah-e-te yo-ka-ta!''
:''It's even better when you say this along with a firm handshake!''
:''OK, that's it for today!''
:''JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?!''
:''“KOUKAN TALK!” comin' atcha!''
:''Today's single phrase for communication is...''
:''"Let me see your Pokédex!"
:''Trainers are always interested in another Trainer's Pokédex!''
:''"Pokémon Zukan misete!"''
:''Po-kay-mo-n zu-ka-n mee-say-te!''
:''Now you can have a person who speaks Japanese show you their Pokédex! You have that? URAYAMASHII ZE!''
:''OK, have a great day! MATA NE! MINNA!''
 
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin'?!''
:''Ha ha! Whether you're feeling good or bad, it's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Check out this Pokémon!"''
:''This is like telling someone: Hey, have a look at my Pokémon! It's so cool! Wooo! When you want to say that in Japanese, say this!''
:''"Kono Pokémon mite!"''
:''Ko-no po-kay-mo-n mee-te!''
:''With this, you can show off your Pokémon to each other, right?''
:''OK, thanks for watching this week! MATA KONDO!''
 
:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today's “KOUKAN TALK,”''
:''we're going to teach you an aggressive way to proclaim your future victory!''
:''"I'm going to win!"''
:''"Katsu zo!"'
:''Ka-tsu zo!''
:''What is important is to emphasize the "zo!" Be aggressive and show where you stand!''
:''For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool.''
:''You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away!''
:''So that's it for today!''
:''Let's meet again! JA NE!''

| Peeps
| [[Striaton City]]
| In a two-story home in Striaton City, the Patrat called Peeps lives with its Trainer. Its Trainer is also a Pokémon Breeder who is raising many Pokémon! And when its Trainer is really busy, Peeps lends a hand...or a paw! It plays with all the other Pokémon to give them some exercise and sometimes even gets them to settle down for the night. Today, Peeps has started a lively game of tag with some of the other Pokémon its Trainer is taking care of. They'll sleep well tonight after all that running!

| {{p|Zweilous}}
| Chow
| [[Opelucid City]]
| Near the gate of Opelucid City, the Zweilous Chow lives with its Trainer. Both Chow and its Trainer really love to eat! Anything you serve them, they'll gobble it right up. They even compete against each other in eating contests. Back when Chow was a Deino, its Trainer cold eat faster...but now that Chow has evolved into a Zweilous, it has an extra mouth, so that's a big advantage! It's built up quite a winning streak with its two hungry hungry heads. That was the Zweilous, Chow, who eats a lot, but not as much as my Zweilous!

Julie and its trainer have put so much effort into training for the Musical. They've worked really hard! And for Julie, the goal every day is to be the one that gets the most time in the spotlight! Julie and its Trainer have a real fire in their hearts when it comes to performing! That was the Zweilous Chow, who stands out, just not as much as my Minccino.

==Trivia==
* TVs are wider since the [[Generation IV]] games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions have been used, as the Generation IV games did not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

Enervation: /* Unova */ Advertisements → Advertisement (the heading wouldn't show otherwise), fixed some typos, made tables wider, edited descriptions of TV shows

{{search|household appliance|Secret Base decoration|Ornament#TVs|TVs}}
{{incomplete|article|missing sections within shows in the Pokémon world}}
'''Televisions''' (also abbreviated '''TVs''') are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==In the games==
===Generations I and II===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these [[generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Generation III===
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{key|III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

===Generation IV===
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

===Generation VI===
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, The television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though you will never watch the same program twice in a row). If you watch the same television and do not exit the room, repeats of an episode you have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until you exit the room.

Shows that are broadcast include:
*The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!
*KOUKAN TALK
*PokéQuiz
*Best of Sinnoh TV
*I-See News
*Gym Freaks
*What's That?
*Unova Sports Spectacular!
*The Pokémon Whisperer
*Nadia Reports (note this show is not given a title)

In Gym Freaks, the Gym Leader April interviews will always be rotated around in a certain order every time, moving in Badge order from the one you started at. Each Gym Leader has two different possible commentaries, and after one of these is watched the other one can be viewed after cycling though the other Gym Leaders until you come back to same Gym Leader you started with.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Once, however, in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', [[Jessie]] and [[James]] pretend to make a live broadcast on {{Ash}}'s special dinner in his house in [[Pallet Town]]. The meal commemorates his departure for [[Johto]], which will happen the next day. During the report, they devour some of the food, trap [[Ash's Pikachu]] inside the supposed camera, and soon flee from the house. Fortunately for Ash and {{ashfr}}, [[Tracey's Scyther]] frees Pikachu by cutting through the camera.

[[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn!]]'', and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}. She and the ''Sinnoh Now'' staff have appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', and ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.

==Television shows in the Pokémon world==
===Kanto===
In [[Kanto]], specifically in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, all televisions except the one in the living room of the [[Player's House (Kanto)|player's house]] cannot be interacted with. The one that can be interacted with displays a movie.

====Teachy TV====
The {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which exists only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, airs the ''Poké Dude Show'', where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
*Start of the show
:''"Hey, all you <sc>Trainers</sc> out there! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> It's me, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>!"''
*Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
:''"All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the {{tt|super|Battling, status problems, type matchup and catching}}/{{tt|sorta super|Registering items}} <sc>Poké Dude Show</sc>!"''
*End of the show
:''"Remember, {{tt|<sc>Trainers</sc>,|Not in type matchups part}} a good deed a day brings happiness to stay!"''

====="Teach me how to battle."=====
{| class="expandable"

|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about how you can battle <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Say you're out for a stroll when, suddenly, a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears! It's up to you to smartly use your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves to reduce the opponent's HP to nothing, and claim victory! I'll show you how to do that in person and for sure!"''
:''"The speedier of the battlers gets to attack first. It looks like my <sc>{{p|Rattata}}</sc> was faster than the <sc>{{p|Pidgey}}</sc>. The battlers take turns attacking and reducing each other's HP. My <sc>Rattata</sc> reduced the foe's HP to zero, so it wins! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> that took part in the battle get EXP. Points. When a <sc>Pokémon</sc> collects enough EXP. Points, it levels up. Leveling up makes your <sc>Pokémon</sc> stronger than before."''
:''"Well, did you get that? Even if your own <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s HP falls to zero, and it becomes unable to battle, not to worry! Just take it to any <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> and heal it!"''
|}
====="What are status problems?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about [[Status condition|status problems]]! Status problems include {{status|poison}}ing, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, {{status|burn}}… There are a couple others, but they really are trouble. Get any one, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may become useless in battle. You know, it hurts the <sc>Poké Dude</sc> to see a <sc>Pokémon</sc> suffer… So, what should you do if your <sc>Pokémon</sc> gets a status problem? Well, you've got me to show you!
:"''Uh-oh… My <sc>Rattata</sc> has been poisoned… If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP steadily. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> develops a status proble, heal it right away. Using an item on a <sc>Pokémon</sc> uses up one turn, though. Now, it's the {{p|Oddish|opponent's}} turn! Yay! We managed to win!"''
:''"Poisoning or paralysis don't go away after a battle. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP even while you're walking. You should heal <sc>Pokémon</sc> of these kinds of problems right away. Use an item, or try to get to a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> for healing. That wasn't hard, was it? All righty, be seeing you!"''
|}
====="What are type matchups?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Does everyone know about type matchups? <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves all belong to certain types. For example, there are such types as <sc>{{t|Grass}}</sc> and <sc>{{t|Water}}</sc>. You need to consider the type of the move used to attack… And, the type of the <sc>Pokémon</sc> that is hit by that attack. Depending on how those two types match up, the damage can change. You see, it depends n whether the type matchup is good or bad. If you don't know how matchups work, battles will be tough. So, let me demonstrate exactly what I mean. All righty, be seeing you!"''
:''"The move <sc>{{m|Bubble}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type attack. The targeted <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc>/<sc>{{t|Poison}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. The <sc>Water</sc>-type attack is absorbed by the <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… As a result, the move becomes not very effective, and inflicts only half the usual damage. Uh-oh, this is not good! The <sc>{{m|Absorb}}</sc> attack you just saw is a <sc>Grass</sc>-type move. <sc>{{p|Poliwag}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. So, <sc>Absorb</sc> becomes super effective, doubling the damage. It's not going to be easy to win with this matchup… Let's try shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc> in and out uses up one turn. Now, it's the opponent's turn. <sc>{{p|Butterfree}}</sc> is a <sc>{{t|Bug}}</sc>/<sc>{{t|Flying}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Against this <sc>Pokémon</sc>, a <sc>Grass</sc>-type attack……inflicts only half the usual damage on a <sc>Bug</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And, it also causes only half the damage on <sc>Flying</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Therefore, <sc>Butterfree</sc>, being a <sc>Bug</sc>/<sc>Flying</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>, only takes one quarter of the usual damage. <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc><sc>Poison</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A <sc>Flying</sc>- or <sc>Psychic</sc>-type attack is super effective against it. One of those types of attacks will inflict double the usual damage. Okay, here we go! Yeah! We won!"''
:''"Is it possible to launch an attack that will inflict heavy damage? Does the opposing <sc>Pokémon</sc> pose a threat to your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Is there any chance that it may have disastrously tough moves? Watch the type matchups to gain the upper hand! All righty, be seeing you! Oh, for the <sc>Cool</sc>-type <sc>Poké Dude</sc>, <sc>Awesome</sc>-type kids like you match up perfectly!"''

:''"When you're trying to catch a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't throw any <sc>[[Poké Ball]]s</sc> right away. First, you need to weaken it by reducing its HP. Okay, that should be good enough. But, if it's possible, it would be best if the target has a status problem. For instance, it would be easier to catch if it were asleep or paralyzed. This will make the <sc>Pokémon</sc> a lot easier to catch! Oh, yes. If you paralyze a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you can't make it fall asleep on top of paralysis. In other words, you can't double up status problems, okay? Okay! Let me throw my <sc>Poké Ball</sc>! Before you throw a <sc>Poké Ball</sc>, consider the condition and the type of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and pick the kind of <sc>Ball</sc> that would work best."''
:''"If your first <sc>Poké Ball</sc> fails to catch the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't give up! Keep throwing <sc>Poké Balls</sc>… It's bound to work sometime! All righty, be seeing you!"''

====="Teach me about TMs."=====
{| class="expandable"

:''"Hey, everyone! Do you all have [[TM]]s? A TM, Technical Machine, is an amazingly great item! It teaches <sc>Pokémon</sc> a move that it may not learn when leveling up! Isn't that just great? What a convenient world we live in! Open the [[List of key items in Generation III#TM Case|TM <sc>Case</sc>]] and check out the TMs you have. You can check them out in detail, too."''
:''"<sc>[[Normal (type)|Normal]]</sc>, <sc>Water</sc>, <sc>Grass</sc>… TMs also come in types. Check the type and teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that matches up well. For example, <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc> is suitable for <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. <sc>{{m|Bullet Seed}}</sc> is a move that most <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. There's one other thing! Don't just look at the type, read the description, too. It will contain hints about what <sc>Pokémon</sc> might learn the move. For example, take a move like <sc>{{m|Focus Punch}}</sc>. It doesn't sound like anything a bird or fish <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. So, try using it on <sc>Pokémon</sc> with arms that can throw punches!"''
:''"Wow, I talked a lot today! All righty, be seeing you!"''

:''"A <sc>Trainer</sc>'s <sc>[[Bag]]</sc> has a bunch of nifty, convenient features! Take stuff in the <sc>key items pocket</sc>, for instance. You can use a key item without opening the <sc>Bag</sc> every time. For example, let's pretend I have a [[List of key items in Generation III#Teachy TV|<sc>Teachy</sc> TV]] in my <sc>Bag</sc>. I can register it for instant use, and I'll show you how!
:''And now, your <sc>Teachy</sc> TV is registered. How do you use it? Well, here's how it works. Once an item in the <sc>Key Items Pokcet</sc>sic is registered, you can use it by pressing <sc>Select</sc>. So, you've given yourself one-touch access to <sc>Teachy</sc> TV. All it takes for you to see me is pressing one button! That kind of attention is a little embarrasing! All righty, be seeing you!"''

===Johto===
There are no television shows in [[Johto]] as they are replaced by [[Goldenrod Radio Tower#Broadcasted programs|radio programs]].

===Hoenn===
[[Hoenn]] was the first region to have multiple TV shows available in a single game. However, they only show programs when an event occurs. In that case, they will be flashing. Otherwise, the TV usually displays "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''"

====Player's house====
The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program.
:''There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.'' Better get going!

====[[Gabby and Ty|Gabby]] interviews (''In Search of Trainers'')====
:''"Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the <sc>Trainer</sc> <player>.

====Name Rater Show====

===Sinnoh===
[[Sinnoh]] introduced news that was always present, along with commercials.

===Unova===

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}" | Description in the show
! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|10px}}" | Usefulness in real life
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|After You}}
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quash}}
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.
|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your [[type]] match your target's type.
|This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Sky Drop}}
|Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Smack Down}}
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Soak}}
|Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.
|Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Synchronoise}}
|Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.
|If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Venoshock}}
|Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!
|Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!
|Oh no! I popped it!!
|Hey! Nice one, clumsy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Absorb Bulb}}

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that hasn't evolved yet... Its Defense and Sp. Def both rise sharply! Isn't that amazing?!
|So, we'll see you later, then.
|What? That was a really short show!
|- style="background: #FFF"

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!

|Hey! That's not very nice!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
|I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
|No fair! You're not a Pokémon!

:''Azusa: OSSU, everybody!''
:''Are you so GENKI it's causing everyone else trouble?''
:''It's time for this week's highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This is today's phrase:''
:''"Where did you come from?"''
:''This is handy! You'll want to know where your opponent is from!''
:''If you want to say this in Japanese, it's like this!''
:''"Doko kara kita no?"''

:''After that, there's no doubt you'll have fun talking about where you're from! Yeah!''

:''Azusa: Hey, MINA SAN!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''

:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication!''
:''...Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me:''
:''"Your Pokémon looks different!"''
:''"Kawatta Pokémon da ne!"''
:''Ka-wa-tah p-kay-mo-n da ne!
:''I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>... BIKKURI!''

:''Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party!''
:''The second I saw her, I thought I'd seen her before somewhere.''
:''But I couldn't remember her name!''
:''So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this:''
:''"Dokoka de atta koto arukke?"
:''Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh?
:''It means, "Have we met somewhere?"''
:''And what do you think she said to me? "What? I work with you every day. You're not serious, right?"''
:''IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAAA!''
:''So, that's it for today's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, Minna! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Nice meeting you!"''
:''Use this when parting with someone you just met!''
:''At time like this, I say:''
:''"Shiri aete yokatta!"''

:''OK, that's it for today!''
:''JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?!''
:''“KOUKAN TALK!” comin' atcha!''
:''Today's single phrase for communication is...''
:''"Let me see your Pokédex!"
:''Trainers are always interested in another Trainer's Pokédex!''
:''"Pokémon Zukan misete!"''
:''Po-kay-mo-n zu-ka-n mee-say-te!''
:''Now you can have a person who speaks Japanese show you their Pokédex! You have that? URAYAMASHII ZE!''
:''OK, have a great day! MATA NE! MINNA!''
 
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin'?!''
:''Ha ha! Whether you're feeling good or bad, it's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Check out this Pokémon!"''
:''This is like telling someone: Hey, have a look at my Pokémon! It's so cool! Wooo! When you want to say that in Japanese, say this!''
:''"Kono Pokémon mite!"''
:''Ko-no po-kay-mo-n mee-te!''
:''With this, you can show off your Pokémon to each other, right?''
:''OK, thanks for watching this week! MATA KONDO!''
 
:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today's “KOUKAN TALK,”''
:''we're going to teach you an aggressive way to proclaim your future victory!''
:''"I'm going to win!"''
:''"Katsu zo!"'
:''Ka-tsu zo!''
:''What is important is to emphasize the "zo!" Be aggressive and show where you stand!''
:''For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool.''
:''You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away!''
:''So that's it for today!''
:''Let's meet again! JA NE!''

* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions have been used, as the Generation IV games did not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

Enervation: /* Intro */ capitalized "special attack"

'''{{Status|Confusion}}''' is a status ailment that makes the target sometimes randomly hurt itself with a typeless, physical attack with base power of 40 for a random number of rounds. The following moves may confuse their targets.

This category lists all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have no gender. As a result, they are unable to use and unable to be affected by the moves {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}. Additionally, the Abilities {{a|Rivalry}} and {{a|Cute Charm}} will have no effect if either the user or foe is genderless.

Status condition

2014-01-18T23:58:03Z

Enervation: /* Semi-invulnerable */ added Phantom Force

{{redirect|Status|the move category|status move}}
'''Status conditions''' affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s ability to battle. There are three kinds of status. The first are non-volatile, the second are volatile, and the third lasts while a Pokémon is in battle. The [[Pokérus]] is a similar but unrelated concept.

==Non-volatile status==
Non-volatile status conditions are status conditions that will remain until a Pokémon is healed at a [[Pokémon Center]], a specific [[status condition healing item|curative item]] is used, or, in case of freeze and sleep, after a certain number of turns during the battle. A Pokémon inflicted with a non-volatile status will still be affected after being pulled out of battle (unless they have the {{a|Natural Cure}} Ability), and after a battle is over. It is only possible for a Pokémon to be afflicted by one of these at a time. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, certain {{Abilities}} will cause or prevent them, as well as benefit from them.

In battle, in the first two generations the status problem icon will replace the level, whereas from [[Generation III]] onwards it is shown to the left of the HP bar.

===Burn===
[[File:Ursaring Burn status.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is burned]]
{{main|Burn (status condition)}}
The burn condition (BRN) halves damage dealt by a Pokémon's physical moves (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Guts}} Ability, where this condition raises Attack by 50%). Additionally, at the end of a turn, the Pokémon loses 1/8 its maximum hit points (in [[Generation I]] or in the case of Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Heatproof}}, the Pokémon loses 1/16 of its maximum hit points). Normally {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}} Ability cannot be burned; however, if a Pokémon is burned then has its type changed to Fire or its Ability changed to Water Veil, the burn will remain. All {{DL|Burn (status condition)|Moves|moves which can cause burn}} are Fire-type except for {{m|Tri Attack}} ([[Generation II]] onwards), {{m|Fling}} when the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Flame Orb}} is held, {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}. In Generation V, Pokémon glow red when afflicted with burn.

===Freeze===
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|left|thumb|250px|{{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} is frozen]]
{{main|Freeze (status condition)}}
The freeze condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. From [[Generation II]] onward, freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|sunny}} weather; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

{{type|Ice}} Pokémon cannot be frozen by Ice-type moves; however, they can be frozen by Tri Attack and Secret Power. In Generation VI onward, Ice-type Pokémon cannot be frozen by any method. A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Scald}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. All {{DL|Freeze (status condition)|Moves|moves which cause freezing}} are Ice type except Tri Attack (Generation II onwards) and Secret Power (when used in snow or ice; [[Generation IV]] only). It is also the only non-volatile status which has no move that causes it 100% of the time. The only move to provide more than a 10% chance of freezing is {{m|Secret Power}} when used on snow or ice, which provides a 30% chance. In Generation V, Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

A frozen {{DL|Form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.

===Paralysis===
[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|right|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is paralyzed]]
{{main|Paralysis (status condition)}}
The paralysis condition (PAR) causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack ("fully paralyzed") a quarter of the time. Additionally, its Speed is reduced to 25% of its previous value (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} Ability, where this condition raises the Speed by 50%). Many {{DL|Paralysis (status condition)|Moves|moves that cause paralysis}} are of the {{t|Electric}} type. {{type|Ground}} Pokémon can be paralyzed, but not by Electric-type moves or by the [[Battle Arcade]]. In Generation V, Pokémon glow yellow when afflicted with paralysis and their animation will be slowed significantly. As of Generation VI, [[Electric (type)|Electric]]-type Pokémon can no longer be paralyzed.

===Poison===
[[File:Poisoned Pokémon.png|left|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Gliscor}} is poisoned]]
{{main|Poison (status condition)}}
The poison condition (PSN) causes a Pokémon to lose 1/8 of its maximum hit points every turn (in [[Generation I]], it loses 1/16). Normally {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Immunity}} Ability cannot be poisoned; however, if a Pokémon is poisoned then has its type changed to Steel or Poison or its Ability changed to Immunity, the poison will remain. In addition, in Generation II, Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}. A Pokémon with the {{a|Poison Heal}} Ability will gradually recover health instead when poisoned.

A poisoned Pokémon also loses 1 hit point for every four steps taken while not in battle. In [[Generation IV]], a Pokémon whose HP is reduced to 1 via poison outside of battle will have the poison status removed. In [[Generation V]], no HP is lost outside of battle, making it similar to a burn but without the attack reduction. All {{DL|Poison (status condition)|Moves|moves which can poison}} are of the Poison-type except {{m|Twineedle}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, and {{m|Fling}} (which poisons only if {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Poison Barb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with poison.

===={{anchor|Badly poisoned|Badly poisoned}}====
The badly poisoned condition is caused by {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Poison Fang}}, as well as by {{m|Toxic Spikes}} after it is used twice. It is the same as Poison except its damage begins at 1/16 and grows an additional 1/16 every turn, taking 2/16 max hit points the second turn, then 3/16 the third turn, and 4/16 the fourth, and so on. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], switching a Pokémon out of active battle would change the badly poisoned condition to normal poison. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, the "badly poisoned" effect will remain even after switching a Pokémon out of battle and back in, but the damage counter will be reset. After a battle is over, the "badly poisoned" status will become a normal poison. All {{DL|Poison (status condition)|Moves that badly poison|moves which can badly poison}} are of the Poison-type except {{m|Fling}} (which badly poisons only if {{DL|In-battle effect item|Toxic Orb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with bad poison.

===Sleep===
[[File:Sleeping Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Heracross}} sleeping]]
{{main|Sleep (status condition)}}
A Pokémon that is asleep (SLP) is immobilized and can only use the moves {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}.

Sleep lasts for a randomly chosen duration of 1 to 3 turns in {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3698857&postcount=770 RNG Research: Battle RNG - Sleep Duration]</ref> In all other games, except the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, sleep lasts 1 to 5 turns. In the Japanese version of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the minimum and maximum sleep count is 1 turn higher, lasting 2 to 6 turns.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 DP Battle Tower Records]</ref> A Pokémon can inflict self-induced sleep using the move {{m|Rest}}, which will restore all of the Pokémon's health and remove any other non-volatile status condition. A {{DL|Level|Disobedience|disobedient}} Pokémon may also nap during battle. There are eleven moves that cause sleep.

In Generation I, a Pokémon that wakes up is not able to attack that same turn, but since Generation II, it is able to attack as soon as the sleep wears off. In Generation V, a Pokémon's sleep counter is reset to its original amount when switched out; this also applies for self-induced sleep. Also in Generation V, Pokémon close their eyes while sleeping and they move slower as well.
{{-}}

==Volatile status==
A volatile status will wear off when a Pokémon is taken out of battle or a battle is over. Many of these will also wear off after a number of turns pass. Since they aren't shown in battle as a status condition (having an icon) a Pokémon can be affected with multiple volatile conditions, volatile battle statuses and a non-volatile condition at the same time.

===Confusion===
''See also: [[List of moves that confuse]]''

[[File:Snivy Confused Status.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Snivy}} confused]]
The confused condition causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in its confusion 50% of the time. The damage is done as if the Pokémon attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack.

Confusion wears off after 1-4 attacking turns. This means that turns recharging, such as after using {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and turns unable to attack, such as from {{status|paralysis}}, will not lower the remaining number of turns of confusion. However, a sleeping Pokémon may hurt itself in confusion if using a move such as {{m|Snore}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}. Multi-turn attacks such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}} require that confusion be checked both turns, further reducing the chance of successful attack.
[[File:Confusion anime DP.png|thumb|left|{{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} confused]]
Pokémon with the {{a|Own Tempo}} Ability are immune to being confused. Confusion can be cured with [[Persim Berry|Persim Berries]], the {{DL|Flute|Yellow Flute}}, and, [[Generation II]] onwards, items that cure all status conditions such as [[Status condition healing item#Full Heal|Full Heal]]s and [[Lum Berry|Lum Berries]]; it is the only volatile status condition to be able to be cured by items that heal all status conditions.

Confusion is transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

A {{tc|Ninja Boy}} on {{rt|211|Sinnoh}} erroneously states that confusion only wears off if the Pokémon is switched out.

In the {{series|original}} of the anime, Pokémon showed no physical difference when confused. They would often get dizzy and miss their attacks as opposed to attacking themselves. In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Pokémon would get purple circles around their eyes as a sign of confusion and begin hurting themselves, or attacking their partner if in a [[Double Battle]]. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Pokémon's eyes become swirls and a circle of {{p|Torchic}} run around the confused Pokémon's head, with the confusion causing its attacks to miss. In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, a Pokémon's eyes become stars and multiple stars spin around their head when they are confused.

===Curse===
[[File:Masked Man Gastly Curse.png|175px|thumb|right|{{p|Suicune}} is hurt by the Curse]]
If a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon uses {{m|Curse}}, the Pokémon it is used on loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn, and the user immediately loses half of their maximum hit points in exchange. A Pokémon afflicted by Curse cannot be healed except by switching out. If the victim of a Ghost-type Curse uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, the health-sapping effect is transferred to its replacement. Also, in [[Generation II]], defeating the opponent will prevent the Pokémon it is used on taking damage from Curse on that turn.
[[File:Cyrus Weavile Embargo Adventures.png|150px|thumb|left|{{p|Spiritomb}} being prevented from using items]]
===Embargo===
A Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Embargo}} is unable to use its [[held item]] and its Trainer cannot use items on it (including [[Wonder Launcher]] items) for five turns. A Pokémon under the effect of Embargo cannot use {{m|Fling}}.

===Encore===
{{m|Encore}} forces the Pokémon to repeat its last attack for 2-5 turns in Generation II, 4-8 turns in Generations III and IV, and 3 turns in Generation V. In Generation V, if the Pokémon has {{m|Magic Coat}} active, the move will fail.

===Flinch===
''See also: [[List of moves that cause flinching]]''

[[File:Ash Chimchar flinch.png|thumb|{{AP|Chimchar}} flinching in fear]]
The flinch status is a one-turn status that prevents a Pokémon from attacking. A Pokémon can only flinch if its opponent attacks first. A Pokémon who is holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} has a 10% of causing a target to flinching when using certain moves; in Generation II and III, any move that deals damage but does not have a secondary effect; in Generation IV, one of several moves on a list exclusive to the two items; in Generation V, any move that deals damage and does not already have a chance to flinch. Pokémon with the {{a|Inner Focus}} Ability are also immune to this. Most [[List of moves that cause flinching|moves that cause flinching]] are [[physical move]]s. Pokémon with {{a|Steadfast}} still flinch, but gain {{stat|Speed}} each time they do so.

It is known as cringing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

In [[Pokémon Conquest]], a flinching Pokémon is unable to perform any actions (i.e. move, use moves), as is its partner [[Warrior]] (i.e. use [[Warrior Skill]]s, use [[List of Pokémon Conquest items|items]], link). Since battles in this game are turn-based, flinching does not require a first strike via an advantage in {{stat|Speed}} or [[priority]], unlike in the main series. The turn-based gameplay and the duration of flinching also makes consecutive flinching impairment impossible, unlike in the main series.

===Heal Block===
[[File:Mars Bronzor Heal Block Adventures.png|thumb|{{p|Blissey}} being prevented from healing]]
A Pokémon affected by {{m|Heal Block}} is prevented from healing for five turns. It cannot use {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Heal Order}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Milk Drink}}, {{m|Slack Off}}, or {{m|Synthesis}} while it is under effect. It is unaffected by {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, and {{m|Heal Pulse}}. The player can still use items such as [[Potion]]s to heal the Pokémon.

The moves {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Drain Punch}}, {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Parabolic Charge}}, {{m|Draining Kiss}}, {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and {{m|Leech Seed}} will still inflict damage, but will not restore {{stat|HP}} when the user is affected by Heal Block.

Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} will take damage, as opposed to healing, from {{t|Electric}}- or {{type|Water}} attacks respectively while Heal Block is in effect. A {{status|poisoned}} Pokémon with {{a|Poison Heal}} is neither healed nor damaged.

Since Generation V, [[Leftovers]] are also negated by Heal Block.

===Identification===
[[File:Ash Noctowl Foresight effect.png|left|thumb|150px|{{AP|Noctowl}}'s Foresight identifying {{p|Gastly}}]]
The opponent's evasion modification will not affect the accuracy of a Pokémon that uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}}. In addition, a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type|Fighting}} move used by a Pokémon that has used Foresight or Odor Sleuth will affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{type|Psychic}} moves used by a Pokémon that has used Miracle Eye will affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

==={{anchor|attraction|Infatuation}}===
[[File:Ash Snivy Attract effect.png|thumb|{{AP|Oshawott}} is infatuated]]
A Pokémon that is infatuated cannot attack 50% of the time, even against Pokémon other than the one it is infatuated with. It is caused when {{m|Attract}} is used on an opponent of the opposite [[gender]], may be caused when a Pokémon makes [[contact]] with a Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}} of the opposite gender, and is caused to the target of the infatuation when a Pokémon holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}} is infatuated. Pokémon with the {{a|Oblivious}} Ability are immune to infatuation. Infatuation cannot be passed with {{m|Baton Pass}}. Infatuation will end as soon as either the affected Pokémon or the Pokémon it is attracted to is removed from the battle. It can also be removed by consuming a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Mental Herb}} or playing a {{DL|Flute|Red Flute}}.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, {{DL|Status conditions in Mystery Dungeon|Volatile status conditions|Infatuation}} prevents the Pokémon from doing anything for 5-6 turns, and causes linked moves to cease.

===Nightmare===
{{m|Nightmare}} only affects a sleeping Pokémon. The sleeping Pokémon loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn. If the sleeping Pokémon awakens, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect. If Baton Pass switches in a Pokémon that is not asleep (via {{m|Sleep Talk}}), then the nightmare will no longer be in effect.

===Partially trapped===
[[File:Jessie Seviper Wrap.png|thumb|Gastrodon being trapped by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Wrap}}]]
When a Pokémon is hit by {{m|Magma Storm}}, {{m|Sand Tomb}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Infestation}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}, it becomes partially trapped. Until Generation V, this lasted 2-5 turns unless a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}} was held; in Generation V, partial trapping lasts 4-5 turns unless a Grip Claw is held. If the user of a partial trapping move is holding a Grip Claw, the move will last for 5 turns. A Pokémon can be affected by any number of partial trapping moves at a time. If a [[Binding Band]] is held by the user, the damage done at the end of each turn will increase from 1/16 of the target's maximum HP to 1/8.

In Generation VI, partial trapping moves now deal 1/8 of the target's maximum HP at the end of each turn. In addition, holding a [[Binding Band]] increases this damage to 1/6 of the target's maximum HP.

====Generation I====
In Generation I, partial trapping moves inflict damage for 2-5 turns. There is a 37.5% chance that they will last 2 turns, a 37.5% chance that they will last 3 turns, a 12.5% chance that they will last 4 turns, and a 12.5% chance that they will last 5 turns. Though technically only the first attack can be a critical hit, every attack during the duration will do the same amount of damage. During this turn duration, the target will be unable to attack, and if the user of the move attacks before the target when used, the target will be unable to attack during that round as well.

Damage done by a partial trapping move's continuing duration is done after recurrent damage. If the user switches out before the turn duration ends, the target will be unable to attack during that turn. If the target switches out before the turn duration ends, the partial trapping move will automatically be used against the incoming Pokémon, deducting an additional PP from the move. If at such a time the partial trapping move has 0 PP, it will still be used against the incoming Pokémon. After that use, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|0 PP glitch|the current PP of the move will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it}}.

Even if the partial trapping move misses, it will negate the recharge turn normally required for Hyper Beam. Additionally, if the user of the partial trapping move attacks before the user of Hyper Beam during a recharge turn and the use of the partial trapping move misses, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterwards its current PP will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

In-game, the target will get to select a move during each turn of the partial trapping move's duration, and will attack the incoming Pokémon with the selected move if the player switches before the duration is over.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it is possible to select a move during each turn of the partial trapping move's duration. If the target switches out before the duration ends, the incoming Pokémon will not automatically be attacked. The partial trapping move will negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam only if successful.

====Generation II-IV====
The target is now able to attack during a partial trapping move's duration, and can act normally. Instead, they inflict 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. They also trap the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed.

If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses a partial trapping move on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}}. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

If the user of the partial trapping move is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}, it can switch out.

If the user of the partial trapping move switches out, the move's effects end.

====Generation V====
All partial trapping moves now last 4-5 turns unless a Grip Claw is held, which causes the moves to last 5 turns. The item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}} increases the damage dealt from 1/16 to 1/8 of the target's maximum HP while trapped.

====Generation VI====
All partial trapping moves now deal 1/8 damage instead of 1/16. In addition, if a [[Binding Band]] is held by the user, they will deal 1/6 instead.

===Perish Song===
After three turns, all Pokémon who heard the {{m|Perish Song}} will faint, excluding Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} Ability. Any Pokémon who heard it can avoid the effect of fainting if it is switched out before the three-turn count finishes. {{m|Baton Pass}} transfers the Perish Song countdown.

===Seeding===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Leech Seed effect.png|thumb|left|200px|A {{p|Solrock}} affected by Leech Seed]]
Seeding can only be caused by {{m|Leech Seed}}. Each turn, a seeded Pokémon loses 1/8 (1/16 in [[Generation I]]) of its maximum hit points. The opponent is healed by the same amount. {{type|Grass}} Pokémon cannot be seeded.

If a Pokémon affected by Leech Seed uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed is transferred to its replacement, even if it is Grass-type. If the user of Leech Seed switches out or faints, the health granted by the effect is applied to the new replacement. There is no requirement for the Pokémon to use the move again, or even to know it.

Unlike in the games, {{m|Leech Seed}} does not appear to restore the health of the Pokémon that used the attack in the anime.

===Taunt===
A {{m|taunt}}ed Pokémon cannot use any non-damaging moves for three turns (two to four turns prior to Generation V). Pokémon using {{m|Substitute}} can still be afflicted with this status condition.

===Telekinetic levitation===
[[File:Christie Gothita Telekinesis.png|thumb|A group of people being telekinetically levitated]]
A Pokémon telekinetically levitated by {{m|Telekinesis}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{a|Arena Trap}} for three turns. In addition, all other moves, except [[one-hit knockout moves]], hit the target regardless of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}}; however, it does not allow moves to hit semi-invulnerable Pokémon.

The effect of Telekinesis is canceled when {{m|Gravity}} is used, the levitated Pokémon uses {{m|Ingrain}}, or the levitated Pokémon obtains an [[Iron Ball]]; Telekinesis cannot lift targets if Gravity is in effect, and will fail if used on a target that is rooted or holding an Iron Ball.

===Torment===
A {{m|torment}}ed Pokémon cannot use the same move twice in a row. If the Pokémon is holding a [[choice item]] or only has one move remaining with {{PP}}, it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every second turn.

===Trapped===
[[File:Lenora Watchog Mean Look effect.png|thumb|right|160px|[[Ash's Oshawott]] failing to return to its Poké Ball after being hit by Mean Look]]
A Pokémon successfully trapped by {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Shadow Hold}}, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, or {{a|Magnet Pull}} cannot switch until the Pokémon that used the move is defeated or switches. The trapped Pokémon can escape if it is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}; uses {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}, or {{m|Baton Pass}}; or is successfully hit with {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, or {{m|Circle Throw}}. Prior to Generation V, if a Pokémon trapped by a move uses Baton Pass, the Pokémon brought out will be trapped instead; the effects of moves that prevent ordinary switching are no longer passed in Generation V. Being trapped also prevents fleeing. As of Generation VI, {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are no longer affected by trapping moves and Abilities.
{{-}}

==Volatile battle status==
{{split|{{redlink|Battle status}}|section}}
A volatile battle status will wear off when a Pokémon is taken out of battle or a battle is over. Many of these will also wear off after a number of turns pass. Since they aren't shown in battle as a status condition (having an icon) a Pokémon can be affected with multiple volatile battle statuses, volatile conditions and a non-volatile condition at the same time.

===Aqua Ring===
[[File:Skyla Swanna Aqua Ring.png|thumb|{{p|Swanna}} enveloped in a veil of water]]
When a Pokémon surrounds itself with a veil of water by using {{m|Aqua Ring}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Bracing===
[[File:Ash Heracross Endure.png|thumb|left|{{AP|Heracross}} bracing itself]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Endure}}, it braces itself so that whenever it takes damage that turn it will always survive with at least 1HP. The [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], and Ability {{a|Sturdy}} all have similar effects.
{{right clear}}
===Center of attention===
[[File:Daisy Clefairy Courtney Vulpix Follow Me Tail Whip Adventures.png|thumb|{{p|Clefairy}} drawing attention to itself]]
If a Pokémon becomes the center of attention by using {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}, it forces opposing Pokémon to target the user for the rest of the turn during [[Double Battle]]s and [[Triple Battle]]s.
{{left clear}}
===Defense Curl===
[[File:Ash Phanpy Defense Curl.png|thumb|left|{{AP|Phanpy}} curls up, ready to use {{m|Rollout}}]]
Using {{m|Defense Curl}} causes the power of {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} to double for the Pokémon. This effect is not transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.
{{right clear}}

===Glowing===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Sky Attack}} becomes cloaked in light for one turn, in which it cannot act. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]].
{{left clear}}
===Rooting===
[[File:Roxanne Cradily Ingrain Adventures.png|thumb|left|{{p|Cradily}} planting its roots]]
When a Pokémon plants its roots by using {{m|Ingrain}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn but cannot switch out or [[escape|flee]], even if hit by a move that would force this such as {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}}. If a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} is rooted to the ground, it is susceptible to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. The Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Magnet Rise}} and {{m|Telekinesis}} and they are removed if active upon rooting. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Magic Coat===
[[File:Absol Magic Coat Adventures.png|thumb|{{p|Absol}} bouncing back an attack]]
A Pokémon shrouded with {{m|Magic Coat}} will reflect most status moves used against it or its side of the field back at the user during the turn it used the move. The Ability {{a|Magic Bounce}} reflects the same moves.

===Magnetic levitation===
[[File:Psychic Metagross Magnet Rise.png|thumb|left|{{p|Metagross}} levitating on magnetism]]
A Pokémon levitating on magnetism via {{m|Magnet Rise}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks for five turns. Like {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, the user is immune to the damage of {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and is unaffected by {{a|Arena Trap}}. Magnet Rise is completely negated by {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, and holding an [[Iron Ball]].

This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Minimize===
A Pokémon having used {{m|Minimize}} will take double damage if hit by the moves {{m|Steamroller}}, {{m|Stomp}}, or {{m|Flying Press}} (though this behavior is not present in [[Generation I]]). Additionally, Flying Press will never miss against a minimized target.

===Protection===
A Pokémon that uses {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} will be impervious to attacks and negative status moves targeting them that turn except; if the protected Pokémon is hit by {{m|Feint}} or {{m|Shadow Force}}, which can both hit through protection, the Pokémon's protection is removed for the rest of the turn.

File:Tyson Sceptile Detect dodge.png|Sceptile detecting Aggron's attack
</gallery></center>

===Recharging===
A Pokémon that successfully uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, or {{m|Roar of Time}} must recharge during the next turn. While recharging, the Pokémon cannot perform an action.

===Semi-invulnerable===
Several two-turn moves have a turn where a Pokémon becomes semi-invulnerable, and most moves will miss regardless of accuracy, even moves that never miss. If a Pokémon has been [[#taking aim|taken aim at]], the aimed Pokémon can still hit Pokémon during their semi-invulnerable turn. A Pokémon with {{a|No Guard}} can hit the Pokémon during their semi-invulnerable state, and a Pokémon with No Guard in the semi-invulnerable state can be hit by any Pokémon. In Generation I, semi-invulnerable Pokémon cannot avoid {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Bide}}, but can avoid Bide in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

Pokémon that use {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}} or {{m|Sky Drop}}, or are targeted by Sky Drop fly or are flown up high, and are vulnerable to {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Hurricane}}. If the move {{m|Gravity}} is used, these moves cannot be used and any Pokémon in the air return to the ground with their move cancelled; due to [[Sky Drop glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, if Gravity is used while Sky Drop is in effect, only the user will be returned to the ground—the target will be permanently stuck airborne.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Dig}} burrow underground, and can be hit by {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Magnitude}} and {{m|Fissure}}.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Dive}} dive underwater, and can be hit by {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Shadow Force}} or {{m|Phantom Force}} suddenly disappear, and there is no move that can hit these Pokémon without aiming or No Guard.

</gallery></center>

===Substitute===
[[File:Juniper Accelgor Substitute.png|thumb|{{p|Accelgor}} launching a substitute]]
The Pokémon that uses {{m|Substitute}} uses up to ¼ of its total HP (rounded down) to make a substitute which will absorb hits until it "breaks" (damage the substitute has taken is greater than the HP used to make it). From [[Generation II]] onward, substitutes block all status conditions and will immediately break if a one-hit knockout attack connects with them. In [[Generation I]], however, a substitute only blocks primary status conditions; attacks like {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Spore}} completely circumvent the substitute. Substitutes can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Taking aim===
[[File:Brandon Registeel Lock-On.png|thumb|left|[[Brandon's Regis|Registeel]] taking aim at its opponent]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Mind Reader}} or {{m|Lock-On}} to take aim at a target, the user's next damage-dealing move will hit that target without fail, even if the opponent uses a move that offers a turn of semi-invulnerability, such as {{m|Fly}}. This effect can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed.

===Taking in sunlight===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Solar Beam}} takes in sunlight for one turn, in which it cannot act. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]] or if used in {{weather|intense sunlight}}.

===Withdrawing===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Skull Bash}} withdraws it head for one turn, in which it cannot act. From Generation II onwards, this also boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Defense}}. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]].

===Whipping up a whirlwind===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Razor Wind}} whips up a whirlwind for one turn, in which it cannot act. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]].

==Trivia==
* If a Pokémon under a status condition (such as a poisoned {{p|Cascoon}}) evolves, the condition will be kept even if the Pokémon gains a new [[type]] or [[Ability]] that would normally prevent it.

'''Illumise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イルミーゼ''' ''Illumise'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

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

It is related to {{p|Volbeat}}, and the {{pkmn|Egg}}s it lays can contain either Illumise or Volbeat.

==Biology==
Illumise is a firefly-like, bipedal Pokémon. It has a blue face and large, slanted blue eyes with purple markings at the corners. Surrounding its head are purple curls that frame its face. Its antennae are small and yellow. Its body is black with a blue belly and a yellow bid marking. Its arms and legs are black and are connected to the body by purple borders. It has small wings used for flying with others, and a pattern of three oblong yellow spots on its rear. This is a female only species; {{p|Volbeat}} is its male counterpart.

Illumise uses its sweet aromas to lure in Volbeat and have them draw geometric patterns in the sky. It is said to earn respect from others by composing designs that are more complex. Over 200 different patterns have been discovered. It is a nocturnal Pokémon that lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Juliet Illumise.png|thumb|210px|left|Illumise in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
Illumise first appeared in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' along with her male counterpart, Volbeat.

Illumise appeared again in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.

===Minor Appearances===
Illumise appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' as a few of the many local Pokémon who lives in [[Crown City]]. One of them worked with several other Pokémon in surrounding {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} at the park to attack him, angry at Zorua for what {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} did to the city. Before a fight broke out, Illumise, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}.

Illumise appeared on the picture in the gallery museum in [[XY005]] alongside {{p|Volbeat}}.

==Trivia==
* Illumise shares the same [[species]] name with its male counterpart {{p|Volbeat}}. They are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
* As of [[Generation V]], no other Pokémon have the same dual [[Egg Group]] as Illumise and {{p|Volbeat|its counterpart}}. They are in both the {{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} groups.

===Origin===
Illumise appears to be based on a {{wp|firefly}} like its counterpart, {{p|Volbeat}}. It does not seem to share its coloring with any particular species. Illumise may be based on {{wp|flapper}}s, a 1920's women's style. They usually had {{wp|Bob cut|bobbed hair}}, like Illumise's purple "hair", and wore taboo dresses and outfits. Illumise seems to be wearing a leotard, black jacket, coat, or dress, similar to Volbeat's, with purple arm and leg cuffs. The yellow bow-like shape under its neck is reminiscent to that of a yellow {{wp|Peter Pan collar}} and the stripes on its abdomen resemble a {{wp|girdle}}.

====Name origin====
Illumise is derived from ''illuminate''.

'''Roserade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロズレイド''' ''Roserade'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Roselia}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Budew}}.

==Biology==
Roserade is a bipedal Pokémon with an appearance that incorporates features of roses and the decorative dress of a masquerade. It has hair made of white rose petals, and a leafy, green cape with a yellow, collar-like bangle on its neck. The cape pattern reaches toward the back of its head, in spiky, sepal-like extensions on the hair. A female will have a longer cape than a male. It has a dark-green mask over its red, yellow-lidded eyes. The lower portion of its face is light green, and it holds a bouquet in each hand. It has a red in its right hand and blue in its left. Its limbs and underside are light green. Its feet end with yellow tips.

Roserade lures prey with a sweet aroma. The more toxic its poison, the sweeter its aroma becomes. Each hand has different toxins, but both hands can jab with near-deadly power. It attacks with a dancer-like elegance, and uses hidden whips lined with poisonous thorns.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cher Roserade.png|thumb|250px|left|Roserade in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Nando's Roserade]]====
In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', [[Nando]] was shown to have evolved his {{p|Roselia}} into a {{TP|Nando|Roserade}}. It appeared briefly alongside his {{p|Sunflora}}. Nando's Roserade battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]] in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' but was defeated.

====[[Drew's Roserade]]====
[[Drew]] is revealed to have evolved his {{p|Roselia}} into a {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} by {{an|May}} in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', and was first seen in "person" watching the [[Wallace Cup]] with Drew in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''.

====Other====
Roserade first appeared in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', under the ownership of [[Forsythia]]. Forsythia first met her Roserade when it was a Budew, where she befriended it and gave it a {{DL|Scarf|Red Scarf|red scarf}}. This Roserade, however, was very shy and timid. Roserade also protects Forsythia's garden from being ravaged by Team Rocket. Forsythia's Roserade also made a brief appearance in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'' alongside Forsythia and her {{p|Lotad}}.

Roserade made another appearance in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when Ash was battling [[Gardenia]] for his {{badge|Forest}}. Roserade was able to beat Ash's {{AP|Turtwig}} with a {{m|Weather Ball}} before being beaten by his {{AP|Aipom}}.

Another Roserade appeared in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', this time under the ownership of {{an|Barry}}. It was used in his {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. It defeated {{AP|Chimchar}} with a barrage of {{m|Poison Jab}}s but tied with {{AP|Gliscor}} from one of Gliscor's {{m|X-Scissor}}s. It appeared again in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

Another Roserade was seen in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' under the ownership of [[Cher]].

===Minor appearances===
A Roserade appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon attacked by {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} and being treated by [[Alicia]] in [[Alice]]'s flashback of her grandmother. It was put to sleep by Darkrai's {{m|Dark Void}} and later seen listening to Alicia play [[Oración]] alongside the other Pokémon Darkrai had attacked.

A Roserade appeared in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!]]'', participating in a Double Performance in the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest.

A Roserade also appeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' at [[Pokémon Hills]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Gardenia Roserade DPA.png|thumb|Roserade in {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl Adventure!}}]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Roserade appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]], in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. [[Gardenia]] used a Roserade alongside her {{p|Cherubi}} in a [[Double Battle]] against {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Platinum's Empoleon|Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. Although it quickly gained the upper hand by knocking out the latter using its poison whips and badly beat the former using combinations of {{m|Grass Knot}} and the aforementioned move, both ultimately became her downfall when Platinum took advantage of the cover that the knots gave and the holes that the whips created to deliver a finishing {{m|Blizzard}} that defeated both her Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[Gardenia]]'s Roserade also appears in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], where it defeated [[Hareta]]'s {{p|Misdreavus}} during his [[Gym]] battle. However, before it [[fainting|fainted]], Misdreavus used {{m|Spite}}, lowering the [[Power Points]] of Roserade's {{m|Magical Leaf}}. While at a disadvantage, [[Hareta's Empoleon|Hareta's Piplup]] endured the rest of Roserade's Magical Leaf onslaught until it ran out, leaving it open to Piplup's {{m|Peck}} attack, winning the battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Rosie.png|right|thumb|Rosie's Roserade Costume (English Version)]]
* Since no leveling up is required to evolve it from Roselia, and breeding Budew is optional, Roserade is one of the two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 ({{p|Porygon-Z}} is the other).
* A Roserade costume is worn by Rosie in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
===Origin===
Roserade appears to be based on a combination of a bouquet of {{wp|roses}}, and a mysterious patron of a {{wp|masquerade ball}}, in which masks would be worn to hide the identity of the participants. Its mask, cape and the mention of its 'movements of a dancer' in its Pokédex entry seem to confirm this.

====Name origin====
Roserade may be a combination of ''rose'' and ''masquerade'' (due to the appearance of wearing a mask).

'''Roselia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロゼリア''' ''Roselia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Budew}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]] and evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
Roselia is a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. It has three thorns on top of its head, and it has black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back is a small stretch of yellow coloration around its neck much like a collar. There are leaves extending from its shoulders like epaulettes. It has a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front. A male will have a shorter skirt than a female. It holds a rose in each of its hands, a red one in its right and a blue one in its left. However, it is said that it will occasionally have unusually colored flower.

Roselia's aroma brings serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison. The more healthy it is, the more pleasant its flowers' aroma. It can lull opponents to sleep using its former [[signature move]], {{m|Grass Whistle}}. It shoots sharp thorns at anything that tries to steal its flowers, and uses different poisons in each hand when it attacks. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy areas}} where it drinks nutrient-rich spring water.

'''Budew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スボミー''' ''Subomie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Roselia}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]], which evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
Budew is a bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes. It appears to be wearing a green bib, and has and triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that are on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot. It keeps its buds closed during the cold winter, but opens them again in the spring and releases pollen. The pollen it scatters induces harsh sneezing and runny noses. It lives near clean pools and ponds.

==Trivia==
*When the Japanese title of ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'' was revealed, Budew hadn't yet been revealed to the public, causing confusion.
*When a {{shiny}} Budew opens the vines on its head in the back sprite animation, the spots on the vines are shown to be red and blue. This is in contrast to the alternate coloration of its evolved forms which have purple and black roses.
*Budew is the only one of its evolutionary line who's English name differs from its Japanese name.
===Origin===
Budew is based on a {{wp|rose}} bud.

====Name origin====
Budew is a combination of ''bud'' and ''dew''.

Subomie is a corruption of 蕾 ''tsubomi'' (flower bud).

When this move is used, the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunlight will brighten]] the field. This effect will last for 5 turns. This clears any other [[weather effect]], and is usable even when it's already sunny.

While Sunny Day is in effect, the base power of {{type|Fire}} moves will be increased by 50%, and the base power of {{type|Water}} moves will be decreased by 50%. In addition to this, the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}} and {{m|Moonlight}} will recover twice as much HP as under clear conditions, and {{m|SolarBeam}} will not require a turn to charge.

===Generation III===
This move now fails when the weather is sunny.

{{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}} and {{m|Moonlight}} will now instead recover ⅔ of the user's HP in intense sunlight. Additionally, {{p|Castform}} (due to its [[Ability]], {{a|Forecast}}) and {{m|Weather Ball}} become Fire-type. Pokémon with {{a|Chlorophyll}} will have their {{Stat|Speed}} doubled.

===Generation IV===
This move lowers the {{Stat|accuracy}} of {{m|Thunder}} to 50%. If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Heat Rock}} is held when Sunny Day is used, the duration of sunlight lengthens from 5 to 8 turns. Additionally, the following Abilities will have the effects listed while the sun is shining:
* Pokémon with the {{a|Dry Skin}} Ability will lose ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn
* Pokémon with the {{a|Flower Gift}} Ability will raise the team's {{Stat|Attack}} and {{Stat|Special Defense}} by 50%
* Pokémon with the {{a|Solar Power}} Ability will have their Special Attack raised by 50% and lose ⅛ of their HP each turn
* Pokémon with the {{a|Leaf Guard}} Ability will be immune to being inflicted non-volatile [[status ailment]]s

===Generation V===
{{m|Hurricane}}'s accuracy will be lowered, similarly to {{m|Thunder}}. {{m|Growth}} will raise the user's {{Stat|Attack}} and {{Stat|Special Attack}} by two stages instead of just one. {{a|Harvest}} will never fail to restore a Berry.

'''Roserade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロズレイド''' ''Roserade'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Roselia}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Budew}}.

==Biology==
Roserade is a bipedal Pokémon with an appearance that incorporates features of roses and the decorative dress of a masquerade. It has hair made of white rose petals, and a leafy, green cape with a yellow, collar-like bangle on its neck. The cape pattern reaches toward the back of its head, in spiky, sepal-like extensions on the hair. A female will have a longer cape than a male. It has a dark-green mask over its red, yellow-lidded eyes. The lower portion of its face is light green, and it holds a bouquet in each hand. It has a red in its right hand and blue in its left. Its limbs and underside are light green. Its feet end with yellow tips.

Roserade lures prey with a sweet aroma. The more toxic its poison, the sweeter its aroma becomes. Each hand has different toxins, but both hands can jab with near-deadly power. It attacks with a dancer-like elegance, and uses hidden whips lined with poisonous thorns.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cher Roserade.png|thumb|250px|left|Roserade in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Nando's Roserade]]====
In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', [[Nando]] was shown to have evolved his {{p|Roselia}} into a {{TP|Nando|Roserade}}. It appeared briefly alongside his {{p|Sunflora}}. Nando's Roserade battled against [[Ash's Staraptor]] in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' but was defeated.

====[[Drew's Roserade]]====
[[Drew]] is revealed to have evolved his {{p|Roselia}} into a {{TP|Drew|Roserade}} by {{an|May}} in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', and was first seen in "person" watching the [[Wallace Cup]] with Drew in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''.

====Other====
Roserade first appeared in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', under the ownership of [[Forsythia]]. Forsythia first met her Roserade when it was a Budew, where she befriended it and gave it a {{DL|Scarf|Red Scarf|red scarf}}. This Roserade, however, was very shy and timid. Roserade also protects Forsythia's garden from being ravaged by Team Rocket. Forsythia's Roserade also made a brief appearance in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'' alongside Forsythia and her {{p|Lotad}}.

Roserade made another appearance in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when Ash was battling [[Gardenia]] for his {{badge|Forest}}. Roserade was able to beat Ash's {{AP|Turtwig}} with a {{m|Weather Ball}} before being beaten by his {{AP|Aipom}}.

Another Roserade appeared in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', this time under the ownership of {{an|Barry}}. It was used in his {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. It defeated {{AP|Chimchar}} with a barrage of {{m|Poison Jab}}s but tied with {{AP|Gliscor}} from one of Gliscor's {{m|X-Scissor}}s. It appeared again in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

Another Roserade was seen in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' under the ownership of [[Cher]].

===Minor appearances===
A Roserade appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon attacked by {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} and being treated by [[Alicia]] in [[Alice]]'s flashback of her grandmother. It was put to sleep by Darkrai's {{m|Dark Void}} and later seen listening to Alicia play [[Oración]] alongside the other Pokémon Darkrai had attacked.

A Roserade appeared in the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!]]'', participating in a Double Performance in the [[Daybreak Town]] Contest.

A Roserade also appeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' at [[Pokémon Hills]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Gardenia Roserade DPA.png|thumb|Roserade in {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl Adventure!}}]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Roserade appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]], in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. [[Gardenia]] used a Roserade alongside her {{p|Cherubi}} in a [[Double Battle]] against {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Platinum's Empoleon|Prinplup]] and [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]]. Although it quickly gained the upper hand by knocking out the latter using its poison whips and badly beat the former using combinations of {{m|Grass Knot}} and the aforementioned move, both ultimately became her downfall when Platinum took advantage of the cover that the knots gave and the holes that the whips created to deliver a finishing {{m|Blizzard}} that defeated both her Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[Gardenia]]'s Roserade also appears in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], where it defeated [[Hareta]]'s {{p|Misdreavus}} during his [[Gym]] battle. However, before it [[fainting|fainted]], Misdreavus used {{m|Spite}}, lowering the [[Power Points]] of Roserade's {{m|Magical Leaf}}. While at a disadvantage, [[Hareta's Empoleon|Hareta's Piplup]] endured the rest of Roserade's Magical Leaf onslaught until it ran out, leaving it open to Piplup's {{m|Peck}} attack, winning the battle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Rosie.png|right|thumb|Rosie's Roserade Costume (English Version)]]
* Since no leveling up is required to evolve it from Roselia, and breeding Budew is optional, Roserade is one of the two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 ({{p|Porygon-Z}} is the other).
* A Roserade costume is worn by Rosie in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
===Origin===
Roserade appears to be based on a combination of a bouquet of {{wp|roses}}, and a mysterious patron of a {{wp|masquerade ball}}, in which masks would be worn to hide the identity of the participants. Its mask, cape and the mention of its 'movements of a dancer' in its Pokédex entry seem to confirm this.

====Name origin====
Roserade may be a combination of ''rose'' and ''masquerade'' (due to the appearance of wearing a mask).

'''Roselia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロゼリア''' ''Roselia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Budew}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]] and evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
Roselia is a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. It has three thorns on top of its head, and it has black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back is a small stretch of yellow coloration around its neck much like a collar. There are leaves extending from its shoulders like epaulettes. It has a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front. A male will have a shorter skirt than a female. It holds a rose in each of its hands, a red one in its right and a blue one in its left. However, it is said that it will occasionally have unusually colored flower.

Roselia's aroma brings serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison. The more healthy it is, the more pleasant its flowers' aroma. It can lull opponents to sleep using its former [[signature move]], {{m|Grass Whistle}}. It shoots sharp thorns at anything that tries to steal its flowers, and uses different poisons in each hand when it attacks. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy areas}} where it drinks nutrient-rich spring water.

'''Budew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スボミー''' ''Subomie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Roselia}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]], which evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
Budew is a bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes. It appears to be wearing a green bib, and has and triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that are on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot. It keeps its buds closed during the cold winter, but opens them again in the spring and releases pollen. The pollen it scatters induces harsh sneezing and runny noses. It lives near clean pools and ponds.

==Trivia==
*When the Japanese title of ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'' was revealed, Budew hadn't yet been revealed to the public, causing confusion.
*When a {{shiny}} Budew opens the vines on its head in the back sprite animation, the spots on the vines are shown to be red and blue. This is in contrast to the alternate coloration of its evolved forms which have purple and black roses.
*Budew is the only one of its evolutionary line who's English name differs from its Japanese name.
===Origin===
Budew is based on a {{wp|rose}} bud.

====Name origin====
Budew is a combination of ''bud'' and ''dew''.

Subomie is a corruption of 蕾 ''tsubomi'' (flower bud).

'''Roselia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ロゼリア''' ''Roselia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Budew}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Day|day]] and evolves into {{p|Roserade}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
Roselia is a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. It has three thorns on top of its head, and it has black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back is a small stretch of yellow coloration around its neck much like a collar. There are leaves extending from its shoulders like epaulettes. It has a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front. A male will have a shorter skirt than a female. It holds a rose in each of its hands, a red one in its right and a blue one in its left. However, it is said that it will occasionally have unusually colored flower.

Roselia's aroma brings serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison. The more healthy it is, the more pleasant its flowers' aroma. It can lull opponents to sleep using its former [[signature move]], {{m|Grass Whistle}}. It shoots sharp thorns at anything that tries to steal its flowers, and uses different poisons in each hand when it attacks. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy areas}} where it drinks nutrient-rich spring water.

[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[Version|main series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood; however, due to Poké Balls being in the sunken ship in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it is implied that in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage and mechanics]]

Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Dark Device]] and the [[Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a bright light as it returns from its energy form, and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{Adv|Red}}'s battle against [[Giovanni]], where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{mov|Rebecca}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon) or cannot be thrown:

* In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghosts}} in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] unless all wild Pokémon are defeated except one, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim unless there is only one Pokémon!" in Horde Encounters, and "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" in Double Battles. A player can, however, snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* Unlike preceding games, from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards, it isn't possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}}.
* Pokémon Black and White introduces wild Double Battles that are encountered alone instead of with a partner like in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. In addition to the prior requirements, a command cannot be issued to a Pokémon during the same turn a Poké Ball is thrown; however, if the second Pokémon is using a move with a semi-invulnerable turn, a Poké Ball can still be thrown and the move will continue if the ball fails.

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is not present in Generation II. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag when battling a Pokémon. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|right|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; afterward; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.

The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. This was again demonstrated in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. In ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The [[Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)|Ultra Ball]] would make its actual first appearance, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the player's hand to search the player's deck for a Pokémon. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search of Pokémon to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have you instead search the top 7 cards of your deck for any 1 Pokémon card & put it in your hand.
* The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in. The upcoming fourth game appears to continue with the half-filled version.

[[File:SSBB Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already [[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this; the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{an|Mewtwo}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam|Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the Team Plasma variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an [[Itemfinder]] or Dowsing Machine.

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with.

Outside of the battles, Generation I Poké Balls (except the Safari Ball) are all seen in the minigame {{p|Furret}}'s Frolic in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Poké Ball is worth 1 point, Great Ball 2, Ultra Ball 3 and [[Master Ball]] 5.

==Trivia==
* While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. The Pokémon that come the closest are the {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families, as they are found in the wild in all five generations that introduced Poké Balls, and can be obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; the only Ball they cannot be legitimately contained in is the Cherish Ball, as they have not been given out as an event Pokémon during Generation IV, V, or VI.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball which made its return in Generation III, the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the catch screen menu in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], rather than as two separate words, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. However, it will appear spelled correctly in the [[Bag]] if obtained illegitimately there.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its Bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The [[Generation IV]] Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Mewtwo Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Mewtwo Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are illegitimately obtained into the Bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the internal data of the Generation V games, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generation V introduced fewer types of Poké Balls than any other generation, only introducing one.
* The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and [[EP161]], respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[Field move (main series)|field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].
* {{p|Surskit}} is {{2t|Water|Bug}}-type, the two types that improve the Net Ball's odds of capture. However, it does not get an increased bonus for being both types.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.
* Starting in [[Generation III]] all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokemon Colosseum]] and [[Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It's not until [[Generation IV]] that customizable special effects are available through [[Seals]].
* [[Generation VI]] is the only Generation that did not introduce a new type of Poké Ball.

Television

2013-11-25T21:49:35Z

Enervation: /* Unova and Kalos */ Removed Kalos from the Unova heading, because Kalos apparently has a lot of TV shows that Unova doesn't have

{{search|household appliance|Secret Base decoration|Ornament#TVs|TVs}}
{{incomplete|article|missing sections within shows in the Pokémon world}}
'''Televisions''' (also abbreviated '''TVs''') are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==In the games==
===Generations I and II===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|right|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these [[generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Generation III===
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{key|III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

===Generation IV===
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|right|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Once, however, in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', [[Jessie]] and [[James]] pretend to make a live broadcast on {{Ash}}'s special dinner in his house in [[Pallet Town]]. The meal commemorates his departure for [[Johto]], which will happen the next day. During the report, they devour some of the food, trap [[Ash's Pikachu]] inside the supposed camera, and soon flee from the house. Fortunately for Ash and {{ashfr}}, [[Tracey's Scyther]] frees Pikachu by cutting through the camera.

[[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn!]]'', and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}. She and the ''Sinnoh Now'' staff have appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', and ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.

==Television shows in the Pokémon world==
===Kanto===
In [[Kanto]], specifically in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, all televisions except the one in the living room of the [[Player's House (Kanto)|player's house]] cannot be interacted with. The one that can be interacted with displays a movie.

====Teachy TV====
The {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which exists only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, airs the ''Poké Dude Show'', where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
*Start of the show
:''"Hey, all you <sc>Trainers</sc> out there! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> It's me, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>!"''
*Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
:''"All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the {{tt|super|Battling, status problems, type matchup and catching}}/{{tt|sorta super|Registering items}} <sc>Poké Dude Show</sc>!"''
*End of the show
:''"Remember, {{tt|<sc>Trainers</sc>,|Not in type matchups part}} a good deed a day brings happiness to stay!"''

====="Teach me how to battle."=====

|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about how you can battle <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Say you're out for a stroll when, suddenly, a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears! It's up to you to smartly use your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves to reduce the opponent's HP to nothing, and claim victory! I'll show you how to do that in person and for sure!"''
:''"The speedier of the battlers gets to attack first. It looks like my <sc>{{p|Rattata}}</sc> was faster than the <sc>{{p|Pidgey}}</sc>. The battlers take turns attacking and reducing each other's HP. My <sc>Rattata</sc> reduced the foe's HP to zero, so it wins! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> that took part in the battle get EXP. Points. When a <sc>Pokémon</sc> collects enough EXP. Points, it levels up. Leveling up makes your <sc>Pokémon</sc> stronger than before."''
:''"Well, did you get that? Even if your own <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s HP falls to zero, and it becomes unable to battle, not to worry! Just take it to any <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> and heal it!"''
|}
====="What are status problems?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about [[Status ailment|status problems]]! Status problems include [[Poison (status ailment)|poisoning]], [[Paralysis (status ailment)|paralysis]], [[Sleep (status ailment)|sleep]], [[Burn (status ailment)|burn]]… There are a couple others, but they really are trouble. Get any one, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may become useless in battle. You know, it hurts the <sc>Poké Dude</sc> to see a <sc>Pokémon</sc> suffer… So, what should you do if your <sc>Pokémon</sc> gets a status problem? Well, you've got me to show you!
:"''Uh-oh… My <sc>Rattata</sc> has been poisoned… If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP steadily. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> develops a status proble, heal it right away. Using an item on a <sc>Pokémon</sc> uses up one turn, though. Now, it's the {{p|Oddish|opponent's}} turn! Yay! We managed to win!"''
:''"Poisoning or paralysis don't go away after a battle. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP even while you're walking. You should heal <sc>Pokémon</sc> of these kinds of problems right away. Use an item, or try to get to a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> for healing. That wasn't hard, was it? All righty, be seeing you!"''
|}
====="What are type matchups?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Does everyone know about type matchups? <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves all belong to certain types. For example, there are such types as <sc>{{t|Grass}}</sc> and <sc>{{t|Water}}</sc>. You need to consider the type of the move used to attack… And, the type of the <sc>Pokémon</sc> that is hit by that attack. Depending on how those two types match up, the damage can change. You see, it depends n whether the type matchup is good or bad. If you don't know how matchups work, battles will be tough. So, let me demonstrate exactly what I mean. All righty, be seeing you!"''
:''"The move <sc>{{m|Bubble}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type attack. The targeted <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc>/<sc>{{t|Poison}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. The <sc>Water</sc>-type attack is absorbed by the <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… As a result, the move becomes not very effective, and inflicts only half the usual damage. Uh-oh, this is not good! The <sc>{{m|Absorb}}</sc> attack you just saw is a <sc>Grass</sc>-type move. <sc>{{p|Poliwag}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. So, <sc>Absorb</sc> becomes super effective, doubling the damage. It's not going to be easy to win with this matchup… Let's try shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc> in and out uses up one turn. Now, it's the opponent's turn. <sc>{{p|Butterfree}}</sc> is a <sc>{{t|Bug}}</sc>/<sc>{{t|Flying}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Against this <sc>Pokémon</sc>, a <sc>Grass</sc>-type attack……inflicts only half the usual damage on a <sc>Bug</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And, it also causes only half the damage on <sc>Flying</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Therefore, <sc>Butterfree</sc>, being a <sc>Bug</sc>/<sc>Flying</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>, only takes one quarter of the usual damage. <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc><sc>Poison</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A <sc>Flying</sc>- or <sc>Psychic</sc>-type attack is super effective against it. One of those types of attacks will inflict double the usual damage. Okay, here we go! Yeah! We won!"''
:''"Is it possible to launch an attack that will inflict heavy damage? Does the opposing <sc>Pokémon</sc> pose a threat to your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Is there any chance that it may have disastrously tough moves? Watch the type matchups to gain the upper hand! All righty, be seeing you! Oh, for the <sc>Cool</sc>-type <sc>Poké Dude</sc>, <sc>Awesome</sc>-type kids like you match up perfectly!"''

:''"When you're trying to catch a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't throw any <sc>[[Poké Ball]]s</sc> right away. First, you need to weaken it by reducing its HP. Okay, that should be good enough. But, if it's possible, it would be best if the target has a status problem. For instance, it would be easier to catch if it were asleep or paralyzed. This will make the <sc>Pokémon</sc> a lot easier to catch! Oh, yes. If you paralyze a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you can't make it fall asleep on top of paralysis. In other words, you can't double up status problems, okay? Okay! Let me throw my <sc>Poké Ball</sc>! Before you throw a <sc>Poké Ball</sc>, consider the condition and the type of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and pick the kind of <sc>Ball</sc> that would work best."''

What a convenient world we live in! Open the [[List of key items in Generation III#TM Case|TM <sc>Case</sc>]] and check out the TMs you have. You can check them out in detail, too."''
:''"<sc>[[Normal (type)|Normal]]</sc>, <sc>Water</sc>, <sc>Grass</sc>… TMs also come in types. Check the type and teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that matches up well. For example, <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc> is suitable for <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. <sc>{{m|Bullet Seed}}</sc> is a move that most <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. There's one other thing! Don't just look at the type, read the description, too. It will contain hints about what <sc>Pokémon</sc> might learn the move. For example, take a move like <sc>{{m|Focus Punch}}</sc>. It doesn't sound like anything a bird or fish <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. So, try using it on <sc>Pokémon</sc> with arms that can throw punches!"''

I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this <sc>Trainer</sc>! The best way to determine how strong a <sc>Trainer</sc> is… Well, the fastest way is to battle. And so we began our investigation! … … That's how we ended up in battle with <player>. In a dominating performance we were flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside! <player> is ruthlessly strong… Here's our impressions after having battled our featured <sc>Trainer</sc>. {{tt|The combination of <Pokémon at the end> and <second Pokémon at the end> was divine! The sight of them--<Pokémon at the end> and <second Pokémon at the end>--selflessly supporting each other in the thick of battle… It was a marvelous sight to behold! <finishing move> was the move the <sc>Trainer</sc> used last in our battle. The move <move> is <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>'s sign of friendship!|If none of the player's Pokémon fainted}}/{{tt|Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>!|If at least one of player's Pokémon fainted}} After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The <sc>Trainer</sc> replied, "<word>."  <player>'s <sc>Pokémon</sc> <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good <sc>Trainer</sc> has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"''

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|10px}}" | Usefulness in real life
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|After You}}
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quash}}
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.
|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your [[type]] match your target's type.
|This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Sky Drop}}
|Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Smack Down}}
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Soak}}
|Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.
|Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Synchronoise}}
|Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.
|If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Venoshock}}
|Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!
|Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!
|Oh no! I popped it!!
|Hey! Nice one, clumsy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Absorb Bulb}}

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that hasn't evolved yet... Its Defense and Sp. Def both rise sharply! Isn't that amazing?!
|So, we'll see you later, then.
|What? That was a really short show!
|- style="background: #FFF"

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}

|Hey! That's not very nice!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}

|When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.

|No fair! You're not a Pokémon!

:''So that’s all for today! MATA KONDO, everyone!''
 
:''Toru: YA! MINNA! Are you enjoying life?''
:''It's time for this week's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is for asking your excellent Pokémon [[rival]] something, yeah!''
:''"How many [[Badge]]s have you got?"''
:''"Ikutsu bajji motteru?"''
:''Ii-ku-tsu ba ji mo te-ru?''
:''YEAH!''
:''With this, you can see how far your rival has progressed!''
:''Through Pokémon, everyone can be friends and rivals!''
:''On that note, I'm going to challenge the [[Gym]]s and collect more Badges! MATA NE!''
 
:''Azusa: HAAAAI! For good kids and even kids that are a little bad... It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's phrase is perfect for when two people's thoughts match up, as if by telepathy!
:''"I was thinking the same thing!"
:''"Chodo onaji koto kangaeteta!"''
:''Choh-do o-na-gee ko-to ka-n-ga-eh-te-ta!''

:''"I became your fan!"''
:''After that, I told it this in Japanese.''
:''"Anata no fan ni narimashita!"''

:''On that note, I'm going to the Musical again today! JA NE!
 
:''Azusa: Meowdy, MINNA! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today's one phrase for communication is this:''
:''"Where did you find that?"''
:''This phrase can be useful whenever you need it!''
:''HAI! So this useful phrase goes like this in Japanese!
:''"Sore doko de mitsuketano?"''
:''So-re do-ko de mee-tsu-kay-tah no?''
:''When I meet Trainers with a cute <player's leading Pokémon>, I ask them that right away!"''
:''So with that, MATA ITSUKA AIMASHO! And adios!''
 
:''Azusa: OSSU, everybody!''
:''Are you so GENKI it's causing everyone else trouble?''
:''It's time for this week's highly anticpated “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This is today's phrase:''
:''"Where did you come from?"''
:''This is handy! You'll want to know where your opponent is from!''
:''If you want to say this in Japanese, it's like this!''
:''"Doko kara kita no?"''
:''Do-ko ka-ra kee-ta no?''
:''After that, there's no doubt you'll have fun talking about where you're from! Yeah!''
:''Ok, so, MATA NE! Bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hey, MINA SAN!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Today, I'll teach you this question to ask when you see a Pokémon that you are interested in!"'
:''"Where did you catch that Pokémon?"'
:''"Sono Pokémono doko de tsukamaeta no?"''
:''So-no po-kay-mon do-koh de tsu-ka-mah-e-ta no?''
:''Then yo ucan go catch one for yourself!''
:''OK, that's it for today! MINNA, bye-bye!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA!''
:''It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication!''
:''...Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me:''
:''"Your Pokémon looks different!"''
:''"Kawatta Pokémon da ne!"''
:''Ka-wa-tah p-kay-mo-n da ne!
:''I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>... BIKKURI!''
:''It was sstill waering Props from the Musical! I forgot to take them off!''
:''Oops! That would look strange!''
:''HAI! That's it for today!''
:''MATA AIAMSHOU! See you!''
 
:''Toru: OSSU!''
:''Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party!''
:''The second I saw her, I thought I'd seen her before somewhere.''
:''But I couldn't remember her name!''
:''So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this:''
:''"Dokoka de atta koto arukke?"
:''Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh?
:''It means, "Have we met somewhere?"''
:''And what do you think she said to me? "What? I work with you every day. You're not serious, right?"''
:''IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAAA!''
:''So, that's it for today's “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!''
 
:''Azusa: Hello, Minna! It's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Nice meeting you!"''
:''Use this when parting with someone you just met!''
:''At time like this, I say:''
:''"Shiri aete yokatta!"''
:''Shee-ree ah-e-te yo-ka-ta!''
:''It's even better when you say this along with a firm handshake!''
:''OK, that's it for today!''
:''JA NE!''
 
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?!''
:''“KOUKAN TALK!” comin' atcha!''
:''Today's single phrase for communication is...''
:''"Let me see your Pokédex!"
:''Trainers are always interested in another Trainer's Pokédex!''
:''"Pokémon Zukan misete!"''
:''Po-kay-mo-n zu-ka-n mee-say-te!''
:''Now you can have a person who speaks Japanese show you their Pokédex! You have that? URAYAMASHII ZE!''
:''OK, have a great day! MATA NE! MINNA!''
 
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin'?!''
:''Ha ha! Whether you're feeling good or bad, it's time for “KOUKAN TALK!”''
:''This week's phrase is:''
:''"Check out this Pokémon!"''
:''This is like telling someone: Hey, have a look at my Pokémon! It's so cool! Wooo! When you want to say that in Japanese, say this!''
:''"Kono Pokémon mite!"''
:''Ko-no po-kay-mo-n mee-te!''
:''With this, you can show off your Pokémon to each other, right?''
:''OK, thanks for watching this week! MATA KONDO!''
 
:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today's “KOUKAN TALK,”''
:''we're going to teach you an aggresive way to proclaim your future victory!''
:''"I'm going to win!"''
:''"Katsu zo!"'
:''Ka-tsu zo!''
:''What is important is to emphasize the "zo!" Be aggressive and show where you stand!''
:''For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool.''
:''You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away!''
:''So that's it for today!''
:''Let's meet again! JA NE!''

==Trivia==
* TVs are wider since the [[Generation IV]] games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions have been used, as the Generation IV games did not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

{{search|household appliance|Secret Base decoration|Ornament#TVs|TVs}}
{{incomplete|article|missing sections within shows in the Pokémon world}}
'''Televisions''' (also abbreviated '''TVs''') are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==In the games==
===Generations I and II===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|right|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these [[generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Generation III===
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{key|III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

===Generation IV===
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|right|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Once, however, in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', [[Jessie]] and [[James]] pretend to make a live broadcast on {{Ash}}'s special dinner in his house in [[Pallet Town]]. The meal commemorates his departure for [[Johto]], which will happen the next day. During the report, they devour some of the food, trap [[Ash's Pikachu]] inside the supposed camera, and soon flee from the house. Fortunately for Ash and {{ashfr}}, [[Tracey's Scyther]] frees Pikachu by cutting through the camera.

[[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn!]]'', and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}. She and the ''Sinnoh Now'' staff have appeared in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'', ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', and ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.

==Television shows in the Pokémon world==
===Kanto===
In [[Kanto]], specifically in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, all televisions except the one in the living room of the [[Player's House (Kanto)|player's house]] cannot be interacted with. The one that can be interacted with displays a movie.

====Teachy TV====
The {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}}, which exists only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, airs the ''Poké Dude Show'', where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.
*Start of the show
:''"Hey, all you <sc>Trainers</sc> out there! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> ……… ……… ……… Come on, let me hear you! HELLO, <sc>Trainers!</sc> It's me, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>!"''
*Before moving to a particular aspect of the show (aside from TMs)
:''"All righty, here goes! Keep your eyes glued to the {{tt|super|Battling, status problems, type matchup and catching}}/{{tt|sorta super|Registering items}} <sc>Poké Dude Show</sc>!"''
*End of the show
:''"Remember, {{tt|<sc>Trainers</sc>,|Not in type matchups part}} a good deed a day brings happiness to stay!"''

====="Teach me how to battle."=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about how you can battle <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Say you're out for a stroll when, suddenly, a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears! It's up to you to smartly use your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves to reduce the opponent's HP to nothing, and claim victory! I'll show you how to do that in person and for sure!"''
:''"The speedier of the battlers gets to attack first. It looks like my <sc>{{p|Rattata}}</sc> was faster than the <sc>{{p|Pidgey}}</sc>. The battlers take turns attacking and reducing each other's HP. My <sc>Rattata</sc> reduced the foe's HP to zero, so it wins! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> that took part in the battle get EXP. Points. When a <sc>Pokémon</sc> collects enough EXP. Points, it levels up. Leveling up makes your <sc>Pokémon</sc> stronger than before."''
:''"Well, did you get that? Even if your own <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s HP falls to zero, and it becomes unable to battle, not to worry! Just take it to any <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> and heal it!"''
|}
====="What are status problems?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s here to tell you about [[Status ailment|status problems]]! Status problems include [[Poison (status ailment)|poisoning]], [[Paralysis (status ailment)|paralysis]], [[Sleep (status ailment)|sleep]], [[Burn (status ailment)|burn]]… There are a couple others, but they really are trouble. Get any one, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may become useless in battle. You know, it hurts the <sc>Poké Dude</sc> to see a <sc>Pokémon</sc> suffer… So, what should you do if your <sc>Pokémon</sc> gets a status problem? Well, you've got me to show you!
:"''Uh-oh… My <sc>Rattata</sc> has been poisoned… If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP steadily. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> develops a status proble, heal it right away. Using an item on a <sc>Pokémon</sc> uses up one turn, though. Now, it's the {{p|Oddish|opponent's}} turn! Yay! We managed to win!"''
:''"Poisoning or paralysis don't go away after a battle. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP even while you're walking. You should heal <sc>Pokémon</sc> of these kinds of problems right away. Use an item, or try to get to a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> for healing. That wasn't hard, was it? All righty, be seeing you!"''
|}
====="What are type matchups?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Does everyone know about type matchups? <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves all belong to certain types. For example, there are such types as <sc>{{t|Grass}}</sc> and <sc>{{t|Water}}</sc>. You need to consider the type of the move used to attack… And, the type of the <sc>Pokémon</sc> that is hit by that attack. Depending on how those two types match up, the damage can change. You see, it depends n whether the type matchup is good or bad. If you don't know how matchups work, battles will be tough. So, let me demonstrate exactly what I mean. All righty, be seeing you!"''
:''"The move <sc>{{m|Bubble}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type attack. The targeted <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc>/<sc>{{t|Poison}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. The <sc>Water</sc>-type attack is absorbed by the <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… As a result, the move becomes not very effective, and inflicts only half the usual damage. Uh-oh, this is not good! The <sc>{{m|Absorb}}</sc> attack you just saw is a <sc>Grass</sc>-type move. <sc>{{p|Poliwag}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. So, <sc>Absorb</sc> becomes super effective, doubling the damage. It's not going to be easy to win with this matchup… Let's try shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc> in and out uses up one turn. Now, it's the opponent's turn. <sc>{{p|Butterfree}}</sc> is a <sc>{{t|Bug}}</sc>/<sc>{{t|Flying}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Against this <sc>Pokémon</sc>, a <sc>Grass</sc>-type attack……inflicts only half the usual damage on a <sc>Bug</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And, it also causes only half the damage on <sc>Flying</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Therefore, <sc>Butterfree</sc>, being a <sc>Bug</sc>/<sc>Flying</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>, only takes one quarter of the usual damage. <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc><sc>Poison</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A <sc>Flying</sc>- or <sc>Psychic</sc>-type attack is super effective against it. One of those types of attacks will inflict double the usual damage. Okay, here we go! Yeah! We won!"''
:''"Is it possible to launch an attack that will inflict heavy damage? Does the opposing <sc>Pokémon</sc> pose a threat to your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Is there any chance that it may have disastrously tough moves? Watch the type matchups to gain the upper hand! All righty, be seeing you! Oh, for the <sc>Cool</sc>-type <sc>Poké Dude</sc>, <sc>Awesome</sc>-type kids like you match up perfectly!"''

====="I want to catch <sc>Pokémon</sc>."=====
{| class="expandable"

:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s going to show you how to catch <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Just imagine… A groovy <sc>Pokémon</sc> suddenly appearing in the wild! Oh, you want it! You just can't help it! Oh, you have to catch it! You gotta have it! Let me show you how you can make it happen!"''
:''"When you're trying to catch a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't throw any <sc>[[Poké Ball]]s</sc> right away. First, you need to weaken it by reducing its HP. Okay, that should be good enough. But, if it's possible, it would be best if the target has a status problem. For instance, it would be easier to catch if it were asleep or paralyzed. This will make the <sc>Pokémon</sc> a lot easier to catch! Oh, yes. If you paralyze a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you can't make it fall asleep on top of paralysis. In other words, you can't double up status problems, okay? Okay! Let me throw my <sc>Poké Ball</sc>! Before you throw a <sc>Poké Ball</sc>, consider the condition and the type of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and pick the kind of <sc>Ball</sc> that would work best."''
:''"If your first <sc>Poké Ball</sc> fails to catch the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't give up! Keep throwing <sc>Poké Balls</sc>… It's bound to work sometime! All righty, be seeing you!"''
|}
====="Teach me about TMs."=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"Hey, everyone! Do you all have [[TM]]s? A TM, Technical Machine, is an amazingly great item! It teaches <sc>Pokémon</sc> a move that it may not learn when leveling up! Isn't that just great? What a convenient world we live in! Open the [[List of key items in Generation III#TM Case|TM <sc>Case</sc>]] and check out the TMs you have. You can check them out in detail, too."''
:''"<sc>[[Normal (type)|Normal]]</sc>, <sc>Water</sc>, <sc>Grass</sc>… TMs also come in types. Check the type and teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that matches up well. For example, <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc> is suitable for <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. <sc>{{m|Bullet Seed}}</sc> is a move that most <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. There's one other thing! Don't just look at the type, read the description, too. It will contain hints about what <sc>Pokémon</sc> might learn the move. For example, take a move like <sc>{{m|Focus Punch}}</sc>. It doesn't sound like anything a bird or fish <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. So, try using it on <sc>Pokémon</sc> with arms that can throw punches!"''
:''"Wow, I talked a lot today! All righty, be seeing you!"''
|}
====="How do I register an item?"=====
{| class="expandable"
|
|-
|
:''"A <sc>Trainer</sc>'s <sc>[[Bag]]</sc> has a bunch of nifty, convenient features! Take stuff in the <sc>key items pocket</sc>, for instance. You can use a key item without opening the <sc>Bag</sc> every time. For example, let's pretend I have a [[List of key items in Generation III#Teachy TV|<sc>Teachy</sc> TV]] in my <sc>Bag</sc>. I can register it for instant use, and I'll show you how!
:''And now, your <sc>Teachy</sc> TV is registered. How do you use it? Well, here's how it works. Once an item in the <sc>Key Items Pokcet</sc>sic is registered, you can use it by pressing <sc>Select</sc>. So, you've given yourself one-touch access to <sc>Teachy</sc> TV. All it takes for you to see me is pressing one button! That kind of attention is a little embarrasing! All righty, be seeing you!"''

===Johto===
There are no television shows in [[Johto]] as they are replaced by [[Goldenrod Radio Tower#Broadcasted programs|radio programs]].

===Hoenn===
[[Hoenn]] was the first region to have multiple TV shows available in a single game. However, they only show programs when an event occurs. In that case, they will be flashing. Otherwise, the TV usually displays "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''"

====Player's house====
The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program.
:''There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard.'' Better get going!

====[[Gabby and Ty|Gabby]] interviews (''In Search of Trainers'')====
*Subsequent times
:''"Hi! Today I'm visiting an area near <place fought>. We're trying to spot some up-and-coming new talent in the field. Today, we turned our lens on the <sc>Trainer</sc> <player>. There's something about this <sc>Trainer</sc> that piqued our interest. We've battled <player> before, but we can attest that the <sc>Trainer</sc> has most definitely improved from before. I knew we were onto someone special when we spotted this <sc>Trainer</sc>! The best way to determine how strong a <sc>Trainer</sc> is… Well, the fastest way is to battle.

The move <move> is <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>'s sign of friendship!|If none of the player's Pokémon fainted}}/{{tt|Honestly speaking, I thought that I might even be pretty good. While we did end up losing, we did have a hotly contested battle. But if you're struggling against me, you have a ways to go, <player>!|If at least one of player's Pokémon fainted}} After our battle, we asked <player> for a succinct summary. The <sc>Trainer</sc> replied, "<word>."  <player>'s <sc>Pokémon</sc> <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>… And "<word>"… Mmm! That's deep! There's deep significance behind that quote! It's no surprise--a good <sc>Trainer</sc> has good things to say. That's all for today! See you all again on our next broadcast!"''

====Name Rater Show====

===Sinnoh===
[[Sinnoh]] introduced news that was always present, along with commercials.

====Sinnoh News====
===Unova and Kalos===
[[Unova]] introduces more TV shows. The types of shows broadcast depend on the in-game time, except in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.

====x:00–x:09====
During the first ten minutes of the hour, the TV shows are about various statistics about the player, such as how many times he or she has used the move {{m|Struggle}}.

! style="background: #{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|10px}}" | Usefulness in real life
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|After You}}
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quash}}
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.
|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your [[type]] match your target's type.
|This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Sky Drop}}
|Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Smack Down}}
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Soak}}
|Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.
|Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Synchronoise}}
|Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.
|If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{m|Venoshock}}
|Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!
|Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!
|Oh no! I popped it!!
|Hey! Nice one, clumsy!
|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Absorb Bulb}}

|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Eviolite}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!

|What? That was a really short show!
|- style="background: #FFF"

|- style="background: #FFF"
|{{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}

|No fair! You're not a Pokémon!

==Trivia==
* TVs are wider since the [[Generation IV]] games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions have been used, as the Generation IV games did not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation V)

2013-11-17T15:09:45Z

Enervation: /* Hoenn families */ Added XY Torchic

This is a list of Pokémon that includes all Pokémon that can legitimately have their Hidden [[Ability|Abilities]].

Introduced in [[Generation V]], Hidden Abilities are Abilities that are obtained a different way than regular ones, and are usually somewhat more difficult to get. Not all Pokémon have a Hidden Ability that differs from their regular one though, and not all Pokémon can legally have their Hidden Ability.

Pokémon with Hidden Abilities are usually not encountered in-game. Instead, they are generally found from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. However, there are several other ways of obtaining certain Pokémon with Hidden Abilities without befriending them from the Pokémon Dream World, such as [[Event Pokémon|events]], [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon|Pokémon Global Link promotions]], and several in-game methods. As for {{pkmn|breeding}}, if a female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability breeds with a male Pokémon in a compatible [[Egg Group]], the offspring will have a 60% chance of also having the Hidden Ability; the Ability cannot be passed on if {{p|Ditto}} is a parent.

For this list, note that Pokémon that are obtainable through the [[Pokémon Global Link]] but do not have Hidden Abilities or evolutionary relatives (such as {{p|Castform}}) will not be listed. While {{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Starly}}, and other similar Pokémon do not have a Hidden Ability that differs from the regular Ability, at least one of their evolutionary relatives do have one; therefore, they are included on this list. If only one gender is possible while the species itself can be either gender (as is the case of promotions), gender will be specified; the incapability of passing a Hidden Ability through breeding will be noted with an asterisk. Levels will also be specified if the Pokémon is obtainable at a [[level]] that is not level 10 if not obtained from a [[Hidden Grotto]].

Generation V Pokémon cannot be found in the Pokémon Dream World except when using an account connected to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 or White 2]].
