'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]], and in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats.

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

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is widely considered to be unique, due to the fact that only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has a few feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three circular digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (some times blue when attacking) and two short ears.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It has a powerful [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, and it is also known for its powerful {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to the maximum power.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create a massive hurricane and is constantly protected from harm inside a reflective sphere of psychic energy.
*Altered in the English version, it is claimed that the hurricane was powerful enough to destroy the planet, as well as Mewtwo being able to block a Pokémon's "special abilities".

===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from the repeated recombining of its DNA and the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}} (about whom it completely forgot while sleeping from tranquilizers after meeting her). During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature to the point of surrendering to {{an|Giovanni}} just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. It generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], this artificial Pokémon is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
According to the scientific logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of {{wp|Guyana}}, whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], which is unable to be accessed until after a trainer has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Mewtwo anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Mewtwo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
Mewtwo appears chasing a {{p|Mew}} during the opening of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
During the {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|10|final volume}} of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni, and with Red's help managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed him. It has a Quiet [[nature]].

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Shū's father]] is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Pocket Monsters)}}
Mewtwo is a Pokémon owned by {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. Mewtwo becomes a "gag Pokémon" when its DNA becomes mixed with {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}}'s.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo in SSBM]]
{{sbw|Mewtwo}} is a playable character and is unlocked after a lot of playing in {{sbw|VS. Mode}}; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. The time taken is reduced by the number of human players, so Mewtwo can be unlocked after just five hours if four players are playing for the whole time.

Due to its large body and light weight, {{sbw|Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo}} is easy to knock off the stage. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, lacks any fast defensive options, and also has general problems with some of its other moves such as lengthy charging and ending lag.

To make up for this, out of all other playable Pokémon, Mewtwo is the strongest in terms of percent-racking; has a tail with longer reach than most other fighters' moves; has an excellent recovery; has some of the most powerful throws in the game; and, when charged, has the strongest projectile of all playable characters ({{m|Shadow Ball}}).

{{SmashMoves|type=Psychic|game=Melee|Spe=Shadow Ball|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Confusion|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Teleport|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Disable|SpeDM=yes}}

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was born from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.

=====Adventure Mode=====
As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. {{m|Shadow Ball}} traces a jagged path once released: the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses {{m|Confusion}} to spin its foes around.

=====All-Star Mode=====
Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. {{m|Teleport}} has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses {{m|Disable}}; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster. Internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way. Known existing data within the game include: a {{sbw|Classic Mode}} "Congratulations" picture for Mewtwo; unused voice files and sound effects; and even an empty audio file for the Wiimote, whenever he would be selected on the playable roster. While there is a possibility that some of the data for Mewtwo was merely recycled from Melee, recent hacking has proven that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game, having the most scrapped in-game files than any of the other cut characters. Instead, Mewtwo appears as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty.

He was most likely replaced by {{sbw|Lucario}}, since he shares several similar moves with it.
====Trophy information====
A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic- type attacks.

===Merchandise===
Mewtwo was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, two Mewtwo are holding a 150 Crest with a DNA strand as its header. On top of it is a crown with a Poké Ball as its jewel.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Mewtwo is the player's final opponent.
*[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: {{ga|Silver}} uses a Mewtwo in the final battle.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit Mewtwo within the two minute time-limit.

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} in the game, surpassed only by the Attack Forme of {{p|Deoxys}}.
**Therefore it has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon.
**Mewtwo and {{p|Lugia}} have the highest base stat total of all Psychic-types.
* In [[Generation I]], Mewtwo had a base stat total of 590, the highest at the time. The [[Generation II]] special split increased its stat total to 680, where it was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}} and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720.
** Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a 680 base stat total that is not a [[version mascot]].
* A {{shiny}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* A journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', even though Mewtwo was a secret Pokémon in the anime at that time.
*Although intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves, has two lower potential Pokéathlon stats, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense.
*Although Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
*While Mewtwo has a masculine voice when communicating through telepathy, {{p|Mew}} has a feminine cry.
*While most other legendary Pokémon that are its equal in terms of [[base stat]] totals have a [[signature move]], Mewtwo did not receive one until [[Generation V]], when it became the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psystrike}}.
* Mewtwo's base stats are numerically the same as {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s, only with a different arrangement.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo's name is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'', referring to the Pokémon on which it was based, and ''too'', indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Special abilities===
Lugia is the leader of the [[legendary birds]]. When the they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the second Pokémon movie. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. It can shoot incredibly powerful {{m|Aeroblast|beams}} from its mouth when in danger and is constantly protected from harm inside a deflective sphere of psychic energy. However, this Psychic Shield will collapse from repeated, or simultaneous, powerful attacks (as shown in the second Pokémon movie). Lugia is also shown to be able to use telepathy, as seen in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', while communicating with Ash.

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

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

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As deep sea dwellers, it is shown that this Pokémon feeds on seaweeds. However, since its appearance seems to be based on a sea dragon or a whale, it is possible that Lugia feeds on small aquatic Pokémon as well.

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

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

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

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

Lugia saved Ash, Misty and Brock from being sucked into a whirlpool in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]''.

Another Lugia had a brief cameo at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
The [[Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the {{chap|Yellow}}. The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item [[Silver Wing]] is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{Adv|Green}}), but both times it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}. It was first encountered in {{PAV|7}} as a being of shimmering light (long before most [[Generation II]] Pokémon were known) when [[Lance]] summoned it to aid his schemes of eliminating most of mankind, but it wasn't until much later in {{PAV|12}} that it was properly identified as Lugia. Besides the two, it was also controlled for some time by [[Will]] and [[Karen]] while they were under the Masked Man's jurisdiction.

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

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive normal episodes of the anime.
* Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Lugia has been the mascot of 3 games, namely: [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon SoulSilver]], making it the record holder of most number of time used as a game mascot.
* Before the introduction of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* In the Pokémon Gold sprite, Lugia doesn't have a thumb. This has been corrected in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Despite having several connections with water, Lugia is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
** Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up, with the exception of {{p|Castform}} who ''can'' be a Water-type.
** Despite not being a Water-type, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a {{ct|Water}} in the [[Lugia (TCG)|TCG]].
* Lugia was mentioned in the {{wp|And in the End|final episode}} of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}. A patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia."
* Though Lugia is officially genderless like most other legendary Pokémon, it has an unmistakably masculine voice when it speaks through telepathy to Ash in the [[M02|second movie]]. It shares this trait with {{p|Mewtwo}}, as seen primarily in the [[M01|first movie]], {{p|Darkrai}}, as seen in the movie ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', and {{p|Arceus}}, as seen in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.
** On a related note, certain episodes show parent Lugia and a younger Lugia, the child. This shows that there is likely a breeding population of Lugia. The only other attempt to have another of a legendary Pokémon was in the case of {{p|Mewtwo}}, as it was created an enhanced clone of Mew.
* Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest base]] {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type2|Flying}}s. This also ties them for the fourth highest Special Defense of all Pokémon.
** Lugia has the second highest Special Defense of all {{type|Psychic}}s, only being beaten by {{p|Deoxys}} in Defense forme.
** Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh and Rayquaza for highest base stat total of all Flying-types. Together with Mewtwo it has the highest base stat total of all Psychic-types.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver versions, when the Kimono girls are summoning the legendary Pokémon, they dance clockwise for Ho-Oh and counter-clockwise for Lugia.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Lugia can learn {{m|Sky Attack}} by leveling up but not from the move tutor.
*Lugia was introduced in a different generation than the legendary bird trio.
**Ho-oh, its opposite, was introduced in the same generation as its trio.
*Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Dragon}} to learn {{m|Dragon Rush}} by level-up.
*In the book adaptation of ''[[M2|The Power of One]]'', Lugia is mistakenly referred to as a {{2t|Water|Flying}} type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}, a dragon who was the Shinto god of the sea, and lived on the ocean's floor. This can be further evidenced through its shiny form's colors, red and white, which were the colors of the coral in which the palace of {{wp|Ryūgū-jō}} was made of. Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Plesiosaur}} (long neck and swimming ability). Lugia may also be based on the {{wp|Wyvern}}; a type of dragon that stands on two legs, has wings, a barbed or spiked tail, and usually has a long neck.

====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|lutetium}}'', a silverish element, which in turn is named after ''Lutetia'', the Roman name for {{wp|Paris}}, the city of light. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon. Lugia's name may be based on the Beluga whale, a white whale of the Arctic Ocean whose white coloration, marine habitat, and body shape are similar to Lugia.

'''Entei''' (Japanese: '''エンテイ''' ''Entei'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, one of the [[legendary beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Out of the three beasts, Entei is said to represent the flames that burned the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

Entei was also a major character in the [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Entei is a massive {{wp|lion}}-like Pokémon with some {{wp|mastiff}} qualities. It is covered in brown fur with a long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater on its back, and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has white paws with apparently retractable claws and brown paw pads, and black cuff-like bands on its legs. It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to resemble a {{wp|kabuto}}, a samurai helmet.

It is said that an Entei is born whenever a volcano erupts. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world.

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

====Special abilities====
Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma. It also sports limited mental powers. When it roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the globe.

===Behavior===
Entei races headlong around the land.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
As a member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to settle in. However, it is speculated that Entei (as well as the other [[legendary beasts]]) is not a unique species, as some Pokédex entries rumor that an Entei is born every time a new volcano is born and, at a point in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Solana]] or [[Lunick]] says "Wow! ''An'' Entei!" rather than saying "Wow! Entei!"

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Entei anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Entei in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Entei (movie 3)]]====
Entei was a major character in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. In the movie, an illusionary Entei appeared to [[Molly Hale]] after she made a wish on the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}}.

====Other====
A real Entei first appeared in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''.

A [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|shiny Entei]] appeared alongside {{p|Celebi}}, and the other members of its [[Legendary beasts|trio]] in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Entei was used by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

Entei made a small cameo at the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

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

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Entei was awakened by {{adv|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Masked Man]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Entei eventually pairs up with [[Blaine]], and later {{adv|Silver}}. In this manga, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. It is also the move capable of permanently melting away the Masked Man's moving ice sculptures, which typically repair themselves from any attack. After it saves Silver and {{adv|Gold}}'s lives after their defeat against the Masked Man in the [[Lake of Rage]], Blaine uses this fire to burn away the {{p|Mewtwo}} cells infecting his arm, and [[DJ Mary]]'s {{p|Smeargle}} copies this power using {{m|Sketch}}. Once the Masked Man is defeated, Entei once again joins its comrades and roams the land of Johto once again. It has not been seen since.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Entei.png|220px|right|thumb|Entei in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Gordor]] considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the [[Jungle Relic]] but it is still taken by the [[Go-Rock Squad]], using their new Super Styler. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.

==Trivia==
* Entei shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Typhlosion}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Entei is somehow able to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, although it lacks a visible tail.
**However, the ash/smoke-like flowing mane on its back slightly resembles a tail.
* Entei is one of the fifteen Pokémon whose numbers are the same in more than one Pokédex-like listing, sharing its [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] numbers.
*Entei has the highest base HP of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
*In {{v2|Crystal}}, if the player plays Entei's cry in the Pokédex, then switches to Suicune or Raikou before the cry ends, the cry of Suicune or Raikou is changed.
* The order that the beasts appear in the National Pokédex is the order of the events that happened at the Burned Tower: the lightning that started the fire (Raikou), the fire that consumed the Brass Tower (Entei), and the rain that quenched the fire (Suicune).
*In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the front of Entei's neck is covered with fur, which doesn't correspond with its official artwork. This is corrected in Crystal.

===Origin===

Entei is based on {{wp|Chinese guardian lions}}, or Lions of Foo, creatures that are a mix of fully grown male lions and stocky, short muzzled breeds of dogs. (Originally, there were two different kinds of these statues: ones that were just pure lion, and the ones that were lion-dogs. The pure lion and lion-dog distiguishment still exists today, though most don't know of it; pure lions are seen more often with their mouth open and depicted more shaggy.)
They are often created in pairs, the male snarling or playing with a ball and the female with a cub. Their original significance was serving as guardians (like gargoyles upon churches) at Buddhist temples. The image of a ferocious beast would scare intruders away. This concurs with Entei being seen as a guardian in the 3rd movie, protecting Molly and her allies.

Like a real lion, Entei boasts a regal mane, long retractable claws, and a strong bulky yet agile body. Its face is short and bears resemblance to a lion's skull- short and wedged, but with the unique flatness that ShiShi statues also bore. The yellow design on its head could be interpreted as a stylized crown or a kabuto helmet, and the gray above its mouth as a mustache, giving it a noble look. Lions are famed throughout Japan and China for being symbols of strength, paternity, justice, courage, and many other traits, they are in many myths and fables throughout time being heroes and legends. In China, the lion is the master of all felines, the defender of law, and the protector of sacred buildings. It is a symbol of power and success, and of royality and strenghth. Lions are also popularly known as symbols of fire. However, Entei also resembles large short-muzzled {{wp|dog}}s, such as a {{wp|mastiff}}. Entei's lack of ears may represent a dog's drooping ears, and entei's short snout farther supports this. Entei's brown shaggy fur and white paws and muzzle are simaler to a {{wp|St. Bernard}}, a large dog known for it's strength.

Entei's roar is known throughout the Pokémon world as a sign of a new volcano erupting, and a new Entei being born.
Entei may also have some inspiration from the {{wp|Aterui}}, the chief of the Emishi, who was later labeled as a demon called 'Aka-gashira' (Red-Head). It also has the appearance of a {{wp|volcano}}, its head is volcano-shaped and has a bright yellow eruption-flame on the top, and the red {{wp|magma}} is seen on the side of its face, it has volcanic smoke leaving from the back and has two spiky mountains on the back too.

====Name origin====
Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 ''enten'', blazing heat, or just 炎 ''en'' – an alternate reading of ''honō'' – flame, and 皇帝 ''kōtei'', emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "{{wp|Yan Emperor|Yándì}}").

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Entei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Entei
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 앤테이 ''Entei''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 炎帝 ''Yán Dì'' - From its Japanese name. Literally "Flame emperor". Shares its name with the ancient Chinese emperor, Yandi.

Talk:List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation

2011-02-11T21:34:31Z

Giegue: /* Electrode */

One thing, though- did that Shuckle use any attacks? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 16:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

== Move ==

Should I move this to "List of alternate colored Pokémon in the anime"? That way, Pink Butterfree could be included. --[[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 18:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
:Agreed. It should be moved. We have many other Pokémon that should be mentioned. Like the Orange Island Pokémon. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

== Pikachu-colored Pichu ==

Isn't it considered to be in the anime, even appering only in and ending sequence? -- [[User:RikkiKitsune|R<s>ikki</s>]][[User talk:RikkiKitsune|Kitsune]] 00:36, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
:Technically. Throw it in. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
==Shiny Magneton==
Does the shiny Magneton picture really need to be PNG. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 13:16, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, it does. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 19:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
::And that doesn't mean resave the same image in PNG format either. Find the episode and do it properly. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 00:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

== Lapras ==

Why is everyone forgetting the Lapras from [[EP113]]? That was Ash's Lapras mother, IIRC. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

:Probably because Lapras's mother is not the same coloration as the game's alternate coloration standards. The game's standards have alternate-coloration Lapras as being purple.

:On the flip side of the coin, keep in mind that the episode in question, while very late in the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] [[arc]] (late enough in said arc to be part of season 3 in the dub, despite what Bulbapedia's warped standards on seasons, as well as more recent popular belief, imply; the theme song defines an ''arc'', not a ''season''), is still a [[Generation I]]-era episode, hence the game's alternate-coloration standards wouldn't apply to it. Hence it could technically qualify as a slight color variation, given that this IS the Orange Islands after all...

:My [[$1|2¢]]: Let the war room look this over and make a judgment, then allow time for it to be implemented properly. It just might turn out in your favor (I'd go ahead and say the odds favor you). --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
::Huh... but Pink Butterfree, Crystal Onix and others are listed. -- [[User:RikkiKitsune|R<s>ikki</s>]][[User talk:RikkiKitsune|Kitsune]] 20:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
:::How different did it look? I don't remember it being that much, or I'd actually remember myself. Also, Pikablu, 4Kids may have ordered the episodes together, but hey, they're the company that called this thing ({{MS|058|Growlithe (Pokémon)}}) an Arcanine. Repeatedly. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
::::It is in lighter color then regular Lapras, as seen in the picture on [[EP113]]'s article. I think it should me added. -- [[User:RikkiKitsune|R<s>ikki</s>]][[User talk:RikkiKitsune|Kitsune]] 21:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Protection ==

== Crystal Onix's Type==
Just added Lapras's mother to the list. This page show the Crystal Onix as a Rock/Ground type. While regular Onix are this type, the Crystal Onix is clearly a completely different type (like Wormadam for example), due to its immunity to Water type Attacks & weakness to Fire type attacks, and also the fact that it is not made of rock, but rather crystal or glass. Its type is clearly not Rock but since Crystal is not a type (except in the TCG) it needs be changed to the ??? type or ???/Ground.[[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 14:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

== Missingno. ==

I'm not quite sure in {{p|Deoxys}} is supposed to be based of Missingno. or not. Even my {{p|Jirachi}}-is based-off-the-Beanstar theory manages to mak more sense then that.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 13:33, 6 September 2005 (CDT)

::Not that I added it to the article, but I do somewhat agree that it shares a few traits... the call, kind of... It's like Hypno sounds like Jynx when sped up, only Deoxys you have to play backwards and sped up to make it sound like Missingno.. And the southern island thing. But I dunno, mostly it's just fan speculation unless we go and ask the designers ourselves. Not that I'd imagine they forgot about Missingno. entirely.

== Location ==

How do you obtain Deoxys? Where is it? Also, how do you obtain Jirachi or Mew?

:Deoxys requires the ticket(forgot the name). On an island. Jirachi is the Colo bonus disk. Mew requires the old sea chart.

:The ticket is called the Aurora Ticket. It was given out at Pokémon Rocks America 2004. -- [[User:PinkDeoxys|PinkDeoxys]] 15:30, 8 January 2006 (CST)

IMO, I think Deoxys is based on it's namesake, DNA. or else viruses, with are just coated proteins like DNA.

:Deoxys is based off '''Deoxy'''riboneucleic (did I spell that right?) acid, or DNA. Its forms, '''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, and '''A'''ttack, form the word DNA. The '''S''' in '''S'''peed is the last letter of its name. -- [[User:PinkDeoxys|PinkDeoxys]] 15:30, 8 January 2006 (CST)

I just got my Deoxys yesterday at Gamestop, so I will give you all the run-down on it's stats:

Name: Deoxys

Lv: 50

Pokédex No.: ???

Type: Psychic

OT: Gamestp

ID No.: 06218

Ball: Cherish

Item: NeverMeltIce

Naive nature.

Jun. 20, 2008

Pokémon Event

Apparantly had a fateful encounter at

Lv. 50

Somewhat vain.

Likes sweet food.

HP: 120/120

Attack: 155

Defense: 57

Sp. Atk: 163

Sp. Def: 61

Speed: 171

Ability: Pressure

Attacks:

Psycho Boost (PP 5/5)

Zap Cannon (PP 5/5)

Iron Defense (PP 15/15)

ExtremeSpeed (PP 5/5)

And all I needed was the Pokédex, so my second Pokémon (after Turtwig) was this Deoxys, thanks to the "Mystery from Space" Event. I picked it up at Sandgem Town WITHOUT the National Pokédex. Of course, it won't listen to me 19 times out of 20, but that's just because I only have one badge. [[User:Thunderboom|Lord Thunderboom]] 18:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

== Forme spelling ==

''Originally, all of Deoxys's different "formes" were thought to be spelled as "form." However, after Giratina's Origin Forme was revealed, fans went back to check Pokémon.com, and the Official Emerald Players guide (published in 2005) to find that "forme" has in fact always been the official spelling"''
 What exactly does the Player's Guide say? If it's just a random appearance of the word, then my suggestion is revert everything to "Form" until either word appears capitalized in a game, just like "Form" (and never "Forme") appears in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Ranger. IMO, a Player's Guide or news coverings can't be trusted more than the released games themselves. To be fair, the Prima guides also spell it "forme", but still, it's just paper. Super Smash Bros. Brawl spells it "forme", too, but without a capital "F". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
:So let me get this right - Prima, a player's guide, the official Pokédex website AND Super Smash Bros. Brawl use "forme" and you still think that the official terminology is "form"? It clearly isn't. [[User:Double Dash|Cipher]] 18:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
::My point was that Pokémon Ranger and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon spell them "Form", with a capital "F", in the text of the game. They are Pokémon games, more mainstream than any Super Smash Bros. game will ever be, and more digital than any guide will ever be. Bulbapedia is intended to be leaned a bit more toward in-game data from what I know. I remember Zhen Lin telling me to fix the "Electric Squirrel" words and place Pachirisu's species name as "EleSquirrel" for example.
::Politoed666, I don't get why my change was reverted specifically [[Deoxys (Pokémon)#Side game data|here]]. The current table about Mystery Dungeon is using the in-game spelling, so I was doing the same, in the Pokémon Ranger side game data section, with the names of the Deoxys "formes" (if you wish, outside of the context) as they appear in Pokémon Ranger as mentioned by Solana and Spencer. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 19:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

:For Arceus it is ok, 'cause it has many forms in the same game, but it's not the case for Deoxys (as in Gen III has different forms for different games), so all of them must be shown at the same time.
:And another thing... if you want to start a new section on a Talk Page, click on the + at the top and sign your user name with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 18:50, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks, I forgot. I just meant instead of cramming all four backsprites into sections of the box, it could cycle the way the Arceus sprite near the top of the page does. I was also thinking that we could do that for the GenIV ones because you can get all 4. We could also do it with Castform, Cherrim, Arceus, Unown, Burmy, Wormadam, Giratina, Shaymin, Rotom... The sprites could even cycle whenever the moving (Emerald + GenIV) sprites animation finishes.[[User:MisterE13|MisterE13]] 19:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:::By the way, I meant this one
[[Image:Arceus Formes.gif]][[User:MisterE13|MisterE13]] 19:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
:::That would be an epic pain. Plus, the only way to do that would be to change the nice, crisp pngs into crappy 256-color gifs, so everyone could see them. And that's a definite no. Anipngs would be for the animation of the sprites, not for showing all of them. The way we've got it is just fine, as far as I'm concerned, since you can click the images anyway to get to the fullsize versions. And we're not doing one of those stupid gifs for everyone.

== "Forme" trivia ==
The trivia section currently states "fans went back to check Pokémon.com, and the Official Emerald Players guide (published in 2005) to find that "forme" has in fact always been the official spelling". However, [http://dragonflycave.com/forums/showpost.php?p=199741&postcount=1 this user] says that the official FireRed/LeafGreen guide (published in 2004) uses "form", so apparently the "forme" spelling hasn't been "always official". '''<code>[[User:Abwayax|abwayax]] ([[User talk:Abwayax|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Abwayax|c]])</code>''' 00:32, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
:I'm going to go ahead and change that piece of trivia, since I see no objections. '''<code>[[User:Abwayax|abwayax]] ([[User talk:Abwayax|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Abwayax|c]])</code>''' 00:20, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

What is the point of the trivia stating, "In its Generation III Normal Forme sprite, its arm is on its right side, while in Generation IV the arm is on its left. Additionally, in Generation III, it only is shown with four fingers, while in Generation IV, it has five."?
The animé (yes that is how you are ''supposed'' to spell it), and Sugomori art show that Normal Forme Deoxys can twist the arm-tentacles together to form a "humanoid" arm. Doesn't that meen that it should be able to have an arm on either side, and probably change the finger number? [[User:GuyNamedSean|GuyNamedSean]] 23:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:Then go and add that part to the trivia. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 01:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

== Horrible fuzzy pictures! ==

Why is the Deoxys picture used at the top of article always enlarged, so that it is horribly pixelated? I think it would be better just to make it smaller, which I would do if I knew how, but I'm not very familiar with Wiki code. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 20:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
:I've been wondering that too, but I don't have any artwork to replace it with. Also, is there a reason that the Speed Forme sprite in the Gen III evolution line is the one from Gen IV? It looks out of place since the Normal, Attack, and Defense Forme sprites there are from Gen III.--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 15:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::It's because the only Speed GenIIIwe have moves, which would look even more out of place. Feel free to upload another.--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 15:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Okay, let me see if I can crop a sprite from somewhere. I'm not familiar with the code, though, so it may take me a few tries to make it work...--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 14:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Never mind, I found a sprite at PKMN.net. We are allowed to use it, since it's a sprite, right? http://pkmn.net/sprites/rs/deoxys/386speed.png I don't know how to upload it, though.--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 14:55, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Color change ==

Has anyone else noticed that Deoxys's Gen III sprites are different colors than its Gen IV sprites? Its Gen III sprites are orange, while its Gen IV sprites are darker and more reddish. Should this be added to the trivia?--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 13:23, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:No...it's not important...because it's the same color. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 13:36, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
::Actually, it's darker in Gen IV, if you compare the back sprites. Also, the gem in its chest is a different color in Emerald than it is everywhere else; it's pink in Emerald, but purple in all other games and formes, even its Gen IV Speed Forme. And is it just me or is its gem bigger in its Defense Forme than in its other formes?--[[User:Celebi96|Celebi96]] 17:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia error? ==

This might be me being stupid, but the trivia says "Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music", but didn't Suicune in Pokémon Crystal have unique music when you battled it? I haven't played Pokémon Crystal in a while, so I might be wrong. [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 18:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
:I think Suicune's music was shared with Entei and Raikou, as before this, all Pokémon had the same wild encounter theme. Deoxys was the first to have its own music, without sharing. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:22, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
::I know it was shared in Gold and Silver, but I think it might have been different in Crystal. I'm not 100% sure though. [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 15:11, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
:::No, the trio all definitely had the same music in Crystal. —[[User:Beta Zero|'''β'''''etA'']] [[User talk:Beta Zero|''Zer'''''Ø''']] 07:54, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Formes between games ==

Just asking, if I have a Speed forme of Deoxys in Emerald, and I trade it to FireRed, will it still have his Speed forme or will it change to FireRed's forme? If the answer is the second option, shouldn't this be in the article? --[[User:Dr. James|Dr. James]] 15:48, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
:The second option is true. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 15:51, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

== Deoxys in the Anime ==

Looking back, that was a pretty bad edit. Long, rambly, save for grammar, spelling, and capitalization. Still, someone should do something, it is not right as it is. The purple Deoxys did not just appear and go to Larousse city, it was in the same meteor as the green Deoxys. Rayquaza did not simply appear out of nowhere either, it had a previous battle and current motive to track down and attack the Deoxys. Worst of all, it wasn't because Emerald had not come out yet that the Speed forme had not appeared in the movie, it was because it had not been created yet. It had come out in Emerald because by that time, they had made Speed forme Deoxys and needed a third generation game to contain that data. Can someone correct this while keeping it short?--[[User:QX Deoxys|QX Deoxys]] 00:22, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

== New picture? ==
I believe that we should use a different picture for Deoxys. I don't mean to nitpick, but the picture we have up right now is a tad pixilated and shows only one Forme (Defense). I've found a clearer picture that shows all four of Deoxys' formes (Speed, Attack, and Normal, as well as Defense). http://ui11.gamespot.com/362/deoxysdppokesafari_2.jpg So, what say you? [[User:Link 486|Link 486]] 16:26, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Is it just me, or does Fake Groudon look like a Deoxys forme? He has the tentacles, the colours, but no one seems to see it but me...[[User:Megadog|Megadog]] 06:28, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
:There's not enough similarity to even ''think'' about mentioning it. When I commented on similarities between the Lake Trio and the GSDS prefixes on the GSDS talk page, I got shot down, '''''hard'''''. That had a bit more substance than this. Also, your attempt at actually ''writing'' it into trivia had multiple errors. Finally, sign when you post on talk pages.

OK...sorry, i'm kinda new here, and only found this after I did that. I tried to go back and remove it, to find it was already gone. anyways, I didn't mean it was an actual forme, but you have to admit it does look like it could be. Also, whats GSDS? [[User:Megadog|Megadog]] 06:28, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
: I went and removed it as soon as I saw it added... twice. My advice is simple: When in doubt, talk before adding.
: [[GSDS]] was the fan name for HGSS before they were announced and got official names, apparently given by {{user|TTEchidna}}. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 06:33, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
I don't fully understand that connection, or in fact, at all. Also, I swear I only put it up once...The second time may have been a glitch when I tried to remove it. Also, I have only seen the two screenshots of fake groudon getting blasted by jirachi, so there may be the problem. EDIT: I've just watched the preview, and see how completely wrong I was. [[User:Megadog|Megadog]] 06:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

== Moveset comparison table ==

Is it possible to get a comparison table up to show the differences between the movesets of each Forme? Something like what's on the [[Legendary golems]] and other pages. Just stick it below the other four moveset tables, permanently hidden so it's out of the way. ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] 20:37, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I have added one at form differences--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 22:05, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

== Introduction uses "form" ==
Should the introductory paragraph to this article really use the word "form" when it's spelled "Forme" everywhere else in the article? For consistency's sake, I'd really recommend changing it.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantomjunkie]] 07:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

== Guardian Signs ==

Should the event moves for Deoxys from Guardian Signs (Meteor Mash, Detect) be added?[[User:JacobCrystal|JacobCrystal]] 19:41, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

== Image ==

Does anyone else think We should have his default form as the main image on his page? Cause I dont think we should have defense form up as it. Thats like putting heat rotom on rotoms page as main piccy.--Dermodio 20:09, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
:There is special coding on the page that rotates the art for Deoxys based on time. You'll see this in other Pokémon pages as well that have different forms or formes. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 20:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

'''Entei''' (Japanese: '''エンテイ''' ''Entei'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, one of the [[legendary beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Out of the three beasts, Entei is said to represent the flames that burned the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

Entei was also a major character in the [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Entei is a massive {{wp|lion}}-like Pokémon with some {{wp|mastiff}} qualities. It is covered in brown fur with a long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater on its back, and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has white paws with apparently retractable claws and brown paw pads, and black cuff-like bands on its legs. It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to resemble a {{wp|kabuto}}, a samurai helmet.

It is said that an Entei is born whenever a volcano erupts. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world.

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

====Special abilities====
Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma. It also sports limited mental powers. When it roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the globe.

===Behavior===
Entei races headlong around the land.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
As a member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to settle in. However, it is speculated that Entei (as well as the other [[legendary beasts]]) is not a unique species, as some Pokédex entries rumor that an Entei is born every time a new volcano is born and, at a point in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Solana]] or [[Lunick]] says "Wow! ''An'' Entei!" rather than saying "Wow! Entei!"

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Entei anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Entei in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Entei (movie 3)]]====
Entei was a major character in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. In the movie, an illusionary Entei appeared to [[Molly Hale]] after she made a wish on the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}}.

====Other====
A real Entei first appeared in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''.

A [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|shiny Entei]] appeared alongside {{p|Celebi}}, and the other members of its [[Legendary beasts|trio]] in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Entei was used by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

Entei made a small cameo at the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

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

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Entei was awakened by {{adv|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Masked Man]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Entei eventually pairs up with [[Blaine]], and later {{adv|Silver}}. In this manga, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. It is also the move capable of permanently melting away the Masked Man's moving ice sculptures, which typically repair themselves from any attack. After it saves Silver and {{adv|Gold}}'s lives after their defeat against the Masked Man in the [[Lake of Rage]], Blaine uses this fire to burn away the {{p|Mewtwo}} cells infecting his arm, and [[DJ Mary]]'s {{p|Smeargle}} copies this power using {{m|Sketch}}. Once the Masked Man is defeated, Entei once again joins its comrades and roams the land of Johto once again. It has not been seen since.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Entei.png|220px|right|thumb|Entei in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Entei unleashes a volcanic {{m|Fire Spin}} that deals a lot of damage to any opponents that get trapped in it.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Gordor]] considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the [[Jungle Relic]] but it is still taken by the [[Go-Rock Squad]], using their new Super Styler. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.

==Trivia==
* Entei shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Typhlosion}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Entei is somehow able to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, although it lacks a visible tail.
**However, the ash/smoke-like flowing mane on its back slightly resembles a tail.
* Entei is one of the fifteen Pokémon whose numbers are the same in more than one Pokédex-like listing, sharing its [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] numbers.
*Entei has the highest base HP of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
*In {{v2|Crystal}}, if the player plays Entei's cry in the Pokédex, then switches to Suicune or Raikou before the cry ends, the cry of Suicune or Raikou is changed.
* The order that the beasts appear in the National Pokédex is the order of the events that happened at the Burned Tower: the lightning that started the fire (Raikou), the fire that consumed the Brass Tower (Entei), and the rain that quenched the fire (Suicune).
*In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the front of Entei's neck is covered with fur, which doesn't correspond with its official artwork. This is corrected in Crystal.
* Entei's Generation IV shiny sprites depict it with the sides of its face coloured purple as opposed to dark-grey seen in its sprites for all the other generations.

===Origin===
Entei is based on {{wp|Chinese guardian lions}}, or Lions of Foo, creatures that are a mix of fully grown male lions and stocky, short muzzled breeds of dogs. (Originally, there were two different kinds of these statues: ones that were just pure lion, and the ones that were lion-dogs. The pure lion and lion-dog distiguishment still exists today, though most don't know of it; pure lions are seen more often with their mouth open and depicted more shaggy. It's possible Entei is also just based on this version.)
They are often created in pairs, the male snarling or playing with a ball and the female with a cub. Their original significance was serving as guardians (like gargoyles upon churches) at Buddhist temples. The image of a ferocious beast would scare intruders away. This concurs with Entei being seen as a guardian in the 3rd movie, protecting Molly and her allies.

Like a real lion, Entei boasts a regal mane, long retractable claws, and a strong bulky yet agile body. His face is short and bears resemblance to a lion's skull- short and wedged, but with the unique flatness that ShiShi statues also bore. The yellow design on his head could be interpreted as a stylized crown or a kabuto helmet, and the gray above his mouth as a mustache, giving him a noble look. Lions are famed throughout Japan and China for being symbols of strength, paternity, justice, courage, and many other traits, they are in many myths and fables throughout time being heroes and legends. In China, the lion is the master of all felines, the defender of law, and the protector of sacred buildings. It is a symbol of power and success, and of royality and strenghth. Lions are also popularly known as symbols of fire.

Entei's roar is known throughout the Pokémon world as a sign of a new volcano erupting, and a new Entei being born.
Entei may also have some inspiration from the {{wp|Aterui}}, the chief of the Emishi, who was later labeled as a demon called 'Aka-gashira' (Red-Head). It also has the appearance of a {{wp|volcano}}, its head is volcano-shaped and has a bright yellow eruption-flame on the top, and the red {{wp|magma}} is seen on the side of its face, it has volcanic smoke leaving from the back and has two spiky mountains on the back too.

====Name origin====
Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 ''enten'', blazing heat, or just 炎 ''en'' – an alternate reading of ''honō'' – flame, and 皇帝 ''kōtei'', emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "{{wp|Yan Emperor|Yándì}}").

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Entei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Entei
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 앤테이 ''Entei''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 炎帝 ''Yán Dì'' - From its Japanese name. Literally "Flame emperor". Shares its name with the ancient Chinese emperor, Yandi.

Talk:Pokéwalker

2011-01-13T02:10:08Z

Giegue: /* A question... */ new section

==Area Pokemon==
Is there going to be a section on what Pokemon can be found in the different areas? -Soprano23
:Look... at the area pages? The info is all there, it's on individual pages instead of on one big page. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 22:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
::Sorry, just saw that! -Soprano23

==Name==
I don't think it is called the PokéWalker, I think it is just called the PokéWalk. Could we possibly get a better picture too? The current one is very blurry. {{unsigned|MasterKenobi}}
:No, it's PokéWalker, I saw the Pokémon Sunday episode. Where'd you get "PokéWalk" from? [[User:Adamant|Adamant]] 16:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
::Nevermind, it was the name that Serebii was calling it but now he has it right. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 15:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== PokéWalker and DS compatibility? ==

I'm wondering if the PokéWalker is truly compatible with the Nintendo DS, and DS Lite. Does anyone know if it will be DSi exclusive? On the wiki page it says this:
"The PokéWalker is only compatible with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver using a Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, or a Nintendo DSi system. "
Is it true? I really hope so. --[[User:Will.kaufhold|form]] 06:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:HGSS, is compatable with ''all'' DS's so therefore so dose the PokéWalker. It will not be only DSi. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 06:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::'''すごい! ありがとう!''' --[[User:Will.kaufhold|'''form''']] 13:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
==Locations==
Should we make the pages of all the locations of the PokéWalker now. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 02:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
:Do you have info on them other than them being there in the pedometer and the Edge being unlocked by a Jirachi? [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 02:04, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

==PokéRadar==
I was wondering why the addition of details on chaining was removed from the page? I have checked the history, and there was no reason. I have tried and tested the method for a long time now, and it has proven to be accurate. {{Unsigned|Ryu Shoji}}
:Um, this is PokéWalker, not Radar article. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] 16:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

- But the 'PokeRadar' is the name of the part of the PokéWalker that is used to encounter wild Pokémon, which has it's own method of chaining. [[User:Ryu Shoji|Ryu Shoji]] 19:28, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

:: And RyuShoji was talking about the PokéRadar function on the Pokéwalker itself. Much like some of the games have PokéRadar, so does the PokéWalker. That's what Ryu was saying! Maybe you should check the edit logs first, Solar Dragon, before assuming what the removed piece of text was? [[User:ASecondOpinion1501|ASecondOpinion1501]] 06:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
::: Edity bit: I have just noticed that the PokéRadar section hasn't been removed, just moved to a different section of the page. See [[Pok%C3%A9Walker#Gameplay]] [[User:ASecondOpinion1501|ASecondOpinion1501]] 06:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

== EXP etc ==
No info on how much exp you get from walking? I've also heard things such as how a Pokémon can't grow more then one level, and that if they miss moves that they would learn from leveling up if they level up on the PokéWalker. If this stuff is true it should also be mentioned.
Also stuff like what kind of battery it uses, etc. And what are the 'advantaged types' mentioned in the articles of the areas? Are these Pokémon types that deal more then 1 damage with an attack versus a wild Pokémon? [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 19:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
:Exp is 1 per step and only 1 level per walk as you said. If anyone wants to add this, the battery is just a watch battery (CR2032) and if it's important, the official website's PokeWalker FAQ estimates a 4 month battery lifetime. Whe don't really know what the advantaged types do yet. From my experience, they seem to have an affect on the rarity of itemfinder items at the very least. It appears that the step requirements will be (partially?) ignored sometimes as well if an advantaged type Pokemon is walking. They don't seem to affect battles or anything like that. Hopefully the Kanto guide goes into more details about what they do. I'm thinking we'll have the complete lists of all advantage types by around 10/29 when the Kanto guide comes out. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 23:38, 21 October 2009 (UTC))

:I've found that the pokemon achieves 1 level upon being returned to the Gameboy, no matter how many steps are taken. I'd kept a low-level pokemon in there for quite awhile and amassed tens of thousands of steps, yet only went up 1 level. Likewise, I've had some take far less steps than xp needed to level & still gained a level. I got my level 10 Magikarp up to level 19 very quickly using the PokeWalker, and the xp needed to level up was the same needed when first deposited. I only had to earn a couple hundred xp to evolve into a Gyarados rather than a few thousand. [[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 20:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

== Memory ==

NGamer thought of this: does the Pokéwalker have flash memory? Or does your pokémon disappear if the batteries run out/are removed? I'd of thought this is pretty important. [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 16:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:Your Pokémon will not disappear and in some cases steps and watts won't either, you could loose somewhere around an hour of progress by taking the batteries out so they recommend sending everything back to the DS before changing the batteries. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 16:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC))

:Left without a battery long enough, the Pokewalker will reset steps and watts to zero. I discovered this the hard way. :( But at least I didn't lose any pokemon or items. I don't know how long it takes to wipe the numbers, but it went 8 hours without a battery. --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 02:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Course Unlocks ==

When a course is unlocked, is it unlocked on the PokeWalker or on the DS cartridge? I had Yellow Forest unlocked on my copy of SoulSilver, but the card somehow became corrupt around the time the Wi-Fi promotion ended. I should be getting a replacement card in a few days but wonder if I'll still have access to Yellow Forest or if I should just keep my pokemon there until I get at least one Pikachu with Fly, just in case I can't go back. {{unsigned|MarkoOhNo}}
:The unlocked courses are in with your save file, so unfortunately if your save file becomes corrupt (or you start a new game) and lose the old save file, all the unlocked courses get lost as well. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 22:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC))
:That stinks. :( Well, guess I'll just have to keep Togepi in Yellow Forest indefinitely & only transfer the loot. At least until I'm able to unlock it for my English versions. It would be cool if transferring things to the game from a PokeWalker which is currently set to Yellow Forest would unlock it on that card too. That would be a great way to spread the unlock.[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 19:15, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

==Required Steps Question==
On each of the course pages, there's a listed amount of steps you have to take before you can encounter a Pokemon/find an item. My question is: Are these Pokemon unlocked "Forever", or only once per Day, or only while that particular Pokemon is in the PokeWalker, or anything else?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 17:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
:Once per day, everyday at midnight the step count resets itself and you will need to rebuild your steps back up to meet that certain Pokémon or find that certain item. I have also heard reports that if you are using the PokéRadar and it hits midnight it will force you out from using it (that does not mean if you are already in a battle, that means if you are in the process of searching for a Pokémon) ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:10, 19 November 2009 (UTC))

== W -> w? ==

Now that the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} page is updated with English box art, should we go ahead and start changing the name of the PokéWalker from PokéWalker to Pokéwalker based on what is written on the boxes? I don't mind doing the changes, but I want to make sure that it's okay before I attempt it :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 11:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC))
:Maybe it's better to wait for official confirmation from Pokemon.com or Nintendo. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 11:53, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
::Okay, that sounds good, that's what I was planning on in the first place, but when I saw that page got updated regardless I figured we might just as well go for it :p It can't be long until they eventually update anyways, so you're right I guess we should just wait. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 11:56, 12 December 2009 (UTC))
:::I'd say we wait until HGSS itself comes out. Never know if the boxart could change, even slightly, before release. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
::::Okay, they've finally confirmed it as 'w' in their press release here -> [http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=21788 Nintendo pressroom]. So should we start the change now? [[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 15:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

== Catch rates ==

What's the chance of a Poké Ball working in the PokéWalker? Does it use each one's individual in-game catch rate, or is it determined another way? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 11:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

== Man, I'm always full of questions... ==
Before me, anwser Missingno. master before me. But my question is, can the Pokéwalker connect with D/P? I really want to know. -[[User:?????|Question Marx]]
:No. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 01:25, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info! - [[User:?????|Question Marx]]

== I have something to add, but I have no idea where to put it... ==

I'm not really fluent in Japanese (I just can read it and I know a few words), so I'll just say what happens based on the picture. Sometimes, if you walk for a while the screen is blank, a happy face or music note appears above the landscape part and if you press the middle button, it says something and you get either 10 or 20 free watts. If it's a straight face, nothing will happen. Can someone add that, please? And if you can, try it and translate the text that it says. Thanks. [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 19:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
:I think that would be a good thing to add, however I'm not fully sure how it all works. When I can dedicate more time to it, I'll look into it a little bit more so that we can add that, but the guides don't detail anything and I know that they are not limited to the certain amount of watts (they will find items too) ... if no one has added it, in about two weeks I can dedicate some time to filling a section like that in :) ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 10:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC))
::Oh, OK, thanks.
::Edit: I just found out that there's a heart too that gives you 50 watts [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 19:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
:I'm curious as to if the step count is really accurate. It would be a worthwhile investment to put another pedometer next to the Pokewalker and compare the step counts, for both walking and running.[[User:Rcnrcn927|Rcnrcn927]] 02:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

== Resetting PokéWalker ==

Is there a way to reset the PokéWalker...? (Or am I kinda screwed?) I had a Pokémon stored on there when my cartridge's save file became corrupt. I exchanged the cartridge for a new one, but now I can't seem to use the PokéWalker. I can't transfer the Pokémon to another save file, according to what I've read, and I can't transfer another pokemon onto there. Taking out the battery for awhile didn't erase anything.... So now what? Toss the PokéWalker?? :P --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 03:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
:You have to press Down + X + L and then connect with your Pokewalker. -- on another note, should those sequence of buttons be mentioned somewhere in the article? The other is Up + Select + R which brings back a Pokemon if the Pokewalker gets lost. I think it might be helpful information to add, but I'm not sure :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 07:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC))

That is why in the event that your Pokewalker breaks, the Pokemon can be restored to the exact way you sent it without you losing any information on it. In other words, you can't "lose your Pokemon" by sending it to the Pokewalker unless you damage the game itself :p ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 05:57, 18 February 2010 (UTC))

== Two Seperate Questions... !/beeping? ==

So two things came into my head... on the page, it says that using the pokeradar can result in !, for Group C pokemon. but at the same time, ! is for Group C or B pokemon... shouldn't there only be one ! section, as both are the same? and question number two: does the pokewalker beep at all, and if it does can it be put to silent? many of my friends and I plan to bring these with us to school (free points for walking in the hallways =D) but dont want them taken away if they beep in class... thanks =D [[User:DeathByAnArrow |DeathBy]][[User_Talk:DeathByAnArrow |AnArrow]] 21:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:There are three volume settings on the Pokewalker: loud, quiet, and silent. However, the 'walker does ''not'' beep for attention or anything like Tamagotchis and similar virtual pets would.

::::To answer your other question, the reason that the page lists !, !, !!, !!! is because that is the sequence that the Pokewalker dowsing machine uses. At first you will get one !, which will always be a group C Pokemon. If you get past that first !, then another ! will appear which can either be a group C or group B Pokemon. If you get past that, then you get a !! which will be either a group B or group A Pokemon. Finally, if you get past all of those you will get a !!! which will be a group A Pokemon only. Technically it should say something like ! (first) and ! (second), but I didn't want it to get too wordy...

:When you start the pokeradar you will always get a '!' above one of the patches of grass. If you click on that patch, then there is a chance either a Pokemon will or will not come out of it... if a Pokemon does not come out of it, then the '!' will disappear and a few seconds later another '!' will appear... this process continues until either you find a Pokemon or it runs away (you take too much time to click on the patch). Once you click on a '!!!' patch it will always have a Pokemon in it. And as said above, the sequence it will always goes in is: ! -> ! -> !! -> !!!.

I Heard that when the Pokewalker Battery dies out, you lose all your watts and steps, but not your Pokemon. What about the Pokewalker Courses themselves?[[User:Brock*PWN*|Brock*PWN*]] 13:58, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
:They're stored in your save file so the only way to lose those is to restart the game ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 14:01, 7 March 2010 (UTC))

::I think what Yamino means is that the courses you unlock are saved on the DS game, rather then the pokewalker. So they wouldn't be lost, unless you lost the game. The watts are stored on the pokewalker, not the game. You keep a 'backup' of the Pokémon in the game that you can restore if the pokewalker battery dies, and the same is probably true with the courses (in a sense). watts just aren't saved in the game. But I mean I don't have it yet so that's just my guess. Also I'm guessing the watts required to unlock a course is the 'total watts ever obtained' not the current watts you have, so that would presumably be stored in the game? --[[User:Derian|Derian]] 13:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

:Just as a minor clarification, ''everything'' regarding watts/steps/routes for the Pokewalker is stored in the DS except for the watts that are on the Pokewalker itself that have yet to be transferred. Every time you connect the Pokewalker to the game, all watts you had will disappear from the Pokewalker (you'll go back to 0) and be transferred over to the games where they are stored and can't ever be brought back to the Pokewalker again. This is how routes get unlocked. Not by how many watts are on the Pokewalker itself at one time, but how many watts you have sent back to the game.

== How many Watts to unlock routes ==

To unlock the Resort Area and the Quiet Cave, would one need 180,000 watts, or 100,000 watts? Before I was thinking 180,000 watts, but now that I know that it takes 20 steps to get a watt, I'm more inclined to believe 100,000. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 05:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== The Pursuit of Happiness ==

Carrying a pokemon in the Pokewalker increases its [[happiness]], however I've seen nothing anywhere which indicates the rate at which it increases. Do events increase happiness (catching a pokemon, finding an item, interacting with other Pokewalkers, etc) or do only steps matter in this effect? How much happiness do you get per how many steps? I'm thinking it's not comparable to steps taken in-game. I've been carrying my Eevee in the Pokewalker for at least two days and walked roughly 10,000 steps/day, but still get the "It's cute" message from the rater in Goldenrod City. (On the other hand, it comes across as VERY happy when I interact with it and based on what I've read in the summary reports after returning from a stroll.) Now that I do the math, though... 10000/256 steps is about +40 happiness.... Two days of this with no other increasing events would make the happiness level 150... still pretty close to the "It's cute" range.... Perhaps it IS comparable to the steps taken in-game happiness increasing event? But... on the other hand... it's carrying a Soothe Bell.... So it seems like that SHOULD make it 230.... Hmm.... If anyone has an answer for these questions, it would really help put my mind at ease. :)[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 08:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

== Version exclusivity? ==

So I'm using the Pokeradar at Beautiful Beach, and I notice something. I have never seen a single Staryu, Poliwag, or Wooper. Coincidentally (or is it?) that is exactly one 'mon from each rarity group. So I'm wondering, is this a series of increasingly unlikely coincidences, or are those three 'mons SoulSilver exclusives (conversely making Sunkern, Slowpoke, and Psyduck HeartGold exclusive)? And if the 'mons available on Pokewalker routes are version-specific, shouldn't there be some kind of mention of that? [[User:Billybobfred|Billybobfred]] 13:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
:Nope, they're not exclusive. You have a certain (maybe 50-50?) chance to get one of either group when you send your Pokemon to the Pokewalker. Take the Pokemon out and send it again and the available Pokemon may change. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 14:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC))

But yesterday when I trained a new Pidgey without the Pokéwalker it did learn the attack.

Yes, since the [[Move relearner]] works with anything in the level up move set for that particular Pokemon, unless if Weedle were to evolve which alters the moveset. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 04:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== 20 steps ≠ 1 watt with advantageous type ==

Bug pokemon are advantageous on Hoenn Field, right? So I decided to use one there and walked around a few steps, and then stopped and checked my steps and watts. I had gotten one watt from seventeen steps.

http://tinypic.com/r/j0bj12/5 - for video proof

at five watts I was on 95 steps, and at ten watts I was on 187 steps. --[[User:Quilford|Quilford]] 22:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

:I don't believe you're correct in your assumption. What I think is happening is that the watt generation uses its own 20-step counter that isn't affected by daily resets. You might have walked three steps the previous day, then it reset, then 17 steps the next day, which would have given you a watt without hitting 20 steps in that day. I can say that I always use advantageous types and, though the daily watts may be off by 0-19 steps, I am getting 1 watt per 20 steps.

:I think I can answer this. Pokérus is based on the Pokémon's Personality Values as well as the Original Trainer's ID (at least I think that's what I've heard).

== Two Questions Pertaining the PokéRadar ==

1. What exactly are the encounter rates of the pokemon in each group?

In other words, what exactly does "Very Common", "Common", "Rare" and "Very Rare" mean?

2. Does the speed with which I chose the marked bush influence my catching rate, or am I just deceiving myself thinking if I go more slowly I get "!!" more easily? =P

-- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 23:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:They correspond to the values that I have pseudo-coded into each of the articles as reference. For example, Refreshing Field is (70, 50), (75, 75), (100, 100) -- (Doduo, Kangaskhan), (Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂), (Pidgey, Sentret). Each of those labels "very Common," "Common," "Rare," "Very Rare" were given ranges and applied based on these numbers in the official guides. The Yellow Forest Pikachu are (2, 3) -- (Flying, Surfing), so comparing (70, 50) with (2, 3), you can probably see why they are harder to find.

I couldn't answer the second question :s... I have no idea lol ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 01:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC))

Say for example that Doduo was the active Pokémon: Is the probability (70%:30%,Doduo:Nidoran) or (25%:75%,Doduo:Nidoran)?

We would have (70, 75, 100)... when you look at how the system works, Pidgey has a 100% rate of showing up. This is so that you can't use the Pokeradar and not get any Pokemon at all. When the steps are too little for anyone in the B group to show up, C has it's full 100% only, meaning everything is C and nothing is B or A. When group B becomes available step-wise, in this case it has a 75%, so it will see if it's a hit or miss on group B. If it turns out to be a miss, then it will move onto group C with a 100% rate and pick group C. If it hits on group B, then you'll get group B. Technically, this lowers the chances to (B|75%:C|25%). The same works when A is available step-wise. Doduo will be looked at with it's 70%, if it's a miss, then it will random for group B which in this case is 75%, if that's a miss, then it will random for group C which is 100%, so you'll get a C. Effectively, this lowers the chances to (A|70:B|22:C|8) as an estimate when Doduo/B/C are chosen. -- Once it's done randoming, it could decide which number of !'s to send the player though based on the result... again... I don't know for sure about the minute mechanics... just those numbers haha... ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:54, 10 April 2010 (UTC))

== Running produces less Steps? ==

2 Days ago, I spent 1 hour and 30 minutes covering a considerable distance around and outside my neighborhood by alternating between running and walking. But the final count on my Pokéwalker was between 4500-5000 steps.
Yesterday, I spent only 1 hour covering a shorter distance with just walking and the final count on my Pokéwalker was between 6500-7000 steps.
Is it because I'm producing less steps with more speed? --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 11:01, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:You've hit the nail on the head. When you run, your strides are typically longer than when you walk. Therefore there will be fewer vibrations that the PokéWalker can sense, and less steps will be recorded. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 12:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

== Dowsing Probabilities ==
Others I spoke to--and even myself--originally thought that the leftmost or rightmost grass tufts had better chances (when taking second pick into account), but I did the probabilistic math and it turns out that no matter which tuft you pick, your second pick choice will always give you the same opportunity. If that's not making sense; basically there's no difference in your overall chance of finding an item between ''any'' of the grass tufts. All assuming completely random item placement, of course. I can post the detailed math if anyone's interested. I know it's not really important, but it seems to be a point of confusion among people I've spoken to. Might be worth clearing it up in the argticle.. - [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] 19:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:Having worked it out myself, the probability of finding an item for the end most tufts are actually 1/2 compared to 2/3 for the 4 middle tufts. Therefore it is better to take the middle tufts. Sorry this is so unclear. Will post a more detailed argument later.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 21:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

::I've tried to explain it in English but I end up complicating it. Basically the additional knowledge of where the item is doesn't help, since it still has a 1/5 placement. If you get 1/5 and 4/5 of 1/1 and 1/4 chances, it's the same as 2/5 and 3/5 of 1/2 and 1/3. The probabilities sort of "cancel" each other... But like I said I'm terrible at explaining this in English. If there's a serious question about whether the math is right, I can double check it with my probability professor from last semester. If it comes to it I'll see if I can work with him to determine this and the expected return of the entire game.

::::This was the part where my own mathematical skills broke down. I don't remember the class covering the additional "knowledge" gained after the first pick (i.e. your second pick isn't 1/5 "random"). What math I guessed at came out to total chances around ~48% (which would indicate that even with proper knowledge of the game you have a greater chance of losing), but then I did it again and came up with a much lower chance (~38%), so I know I'm doing something wrong at that point. I have discussed the above part with a math major (and real whiz), and he agrees that the second choice odds aren't affected by the position of the first choice. But... that's all I've been able to prove at this point. I'll shoot an e-mail at my professor and update when (if) he replies. - [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] 02:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I am reviving this because I have proved that there is indeed the 50% chance:

I used Mathematica, assigning P_1 through P_6 to be 1/6, being the chance for each of the 6 tufts of grass to have the item.

PC_* is for selecting tuft 2,3,4,or 5 (here, assume 3)

PE_* is for selecting tuft 1 or 6 (here, assume 1)

PC_get1 = 1/6 is the chance of getting the object on the first try. It is equal to P_3

PC_near = 2/6 is the chance of choosing the tuft next to the object. It is P_2 + P_4

PC_far = 3/6 is the chance that the object is at least 2 tufts away. It is P_1 + P_5 + P_6

PC_get2 = 2/6 is the chance of getting the object on the second try. It is 1/2 * PC_near + 1/3 * PC_far, because there is one object in two or three tufts if you are near or far respectivly.

PC_get = 3/6 = 1/2 is the chance of getting the object. It is PC_get1 + PC_get2

PE_get1 = 1/6

PE_near = 1/6

PE_far = 4/6

PE_get2 = 3/6 = 1/1 PE_near + 1/4 PE_far because there is one object in one tuft if you got near, or 1 object in 4 tufts if you got far

PE_get = 3/6 = 1/2

I did not refer to Exowatt's formula to write this one. Unless someone can prove that there is not an equal chance for wherever you start, I am adding this fact to the article. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 00:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

== Moves ==

This applies to the Move pages but is about the Pokewalker - should we note that some Pokemon caught on the walker know moves they normally wouldn't know naturally? Like Sneasel, it can learn Crush Claw via breeding, but knows it automatically if caught on Icy Mountain Rd. on the walker. I'm gonna check but I'll wager there are other instances of this. There are also instances of Pokemon learning moves earlier than they normally wound - Elekid learns Thunder Punch at Level 28, but the Level 11 Elekid caught in the Suburban Area already know it.

== Predicting the Items Received from Connecting two Pokéwalkers ==

I can't seem to find any information on the interwebs about people even asking the question about how the Pokéwalkers decide which items you get from connecting them. I asked myself this question and have done a bunch of test connections to see what items are received and now have a working method for predicting/''Choosing'' what items I get.

Now, this only works if no connections of this type have been done since loading the Pokémon into the Pokéwalker, but it takes very little time to trade the Pokémon back to HG/SS and then back to the Pokéwalker.

Here is a link to a forum post I made in the Bulbagarden forums, describing my findings.
http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=58929

I didn't want to edit the main page for the Pokéwalker quite yet since I do only have about 6 documented connections of this type which meet the criteria of neither Pokéwalker having an item from one of these connections. Every one of them has a result that could easily have been predicted by the method I listed on the Bulbagarden forum, though.

I'm hoping someone is willing to test my theory, though, so I can stop feeling like I'm just shouting my findings into the uncaring voids of the interwebs. {{unsigned|QuantumPolagnus}}

==Pokewalker Pokemon Personality==

Something I noticed regarding the pokemon dropped into the pokewalker. Different pokemon seem to act differently.
Here is an example: If I don't take steps for a while, my Murkrow seems to get bored quickly and when I send it back to the game, it tells me that murkrow might have been born or maybe angry.
My other pokemon don't get angry with me.
Second example: My Onix seems to find items very often. Again, not something most of the pokemon I send in seem to do.

Perhaps the pokewalker takes a bit more information than originally believed.
Maybe certain natures cause certain events to occur more often.

Please add your own experiences with this phenomena, as well as some data on the pokemon: characteristic and nature.

== Is this true? ==

Multiple Pokéwalkers
It is possible to use one game cartridge for multiple Pokéwalkers, however only one Pokémon is allowed to stroll at one time.
At the Pokéwalker connection screen Press and hold Down, X, and L .
WARNING : Resetting a Pokéwalker may also reset collected watts to zero on the game cartridge used to reset the Pokéwalker. When resetting a Pokéwalker, it is suggested that it is done with a game cartridge that has few or no watts.
After the "Caution!" message, say "Yes" and connect the additional Pokéwalker (Not the original Pokéwalker previously registered with the game), this will reset and register the new Pokéwalker with the game and reset current walk and step counters in-game temporarily.
Send over a Pokémon to the new Pokéwalker and return from stroll.
Either Pokéwalkers can now sync with the game and when the original Pokéwalker is connected for a stroll, the step count and original watt count should be restored. To have a Pokémon on the extra Pokéwalkers, a wild Pokémon from the selected walking route simply needs to "befriend" or join in the walk, this Pokémon and any other additional ones caught can return to the game normally. It is not possible to change routes on any additional Pokéwalker when a Pokémon is currently out on a stroll. The Pokémon that needs to be returned should appear on the top screen. To change routes, all Pokémon need to be returned into the game and then sent back out into either Pokéwalkers with the desired route and returned back into the game. --[[User:Legendhunter32|Legend Hunter]] 01:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

If u put on a shiny pichu, a generic or event one, and link, on the other person's screen, the pichu won't be facing the other player's guy, rather will be facing the other way! ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 13:07, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
:Is this exclusive to Shiny Pichu, or does it work for other Shiny Pokémon/Pichu? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::I don't recall it working for my shiny Salamence, but i might not have noticed. I will try to get a pic (if i upload it onto the archives, what would i call it?). I dunno about normal pichu, though i doubt it. ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 04:24, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== The thing is apparently waterproof ==

I'm not about to test it again to be certain, but I'm pretty sure mine survived the washer and dryer. Can't think of any other reason I would have found it in the pocket of a clean pair of pants with the back unscrewed and the battery missing, at least. Still works. I found a battery (possibly the same one) and everything was fine, I even had a few hundred watts in there.

If more proof is gained I think it's a point to add to the article, that all isn't lost for a laundered walker.

Funny how Nintendo's cheap hardware is bulletproof, and yet my DS Lite has a broken hinge, nonfunctional shoulder buttons and odd streaks of red tint across the top screen. What did I do to cause these damages? I just played it...[[User:BP|BP]] 05:09, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
:The Pokéwalker instructions has a sheet that warns about water. I will scan it later. For now, I will quote it:

::<big>'''Important:'''</big>
::'''Do not immerse the PokéwalkerTM accessory in liquid
::The Pokéwalker accessory is designed to be moisture resistant but is not moisture-proof. Immersion in water or other liquids or exposure to excessive moisture may cause a malfunction and permanent damage to the Pokéwalker.
::If you attach the Pokéwalker to your clothes or keep it in your pocket, be sure to remove it before washing your clothes.
::*'''Be sure and check your clothes before laundering
::*Be sure and remove the Pokéwalker from your clothes when not playing the game.

:...it goes on a little bit more, but that is the important part. There is also a picture of a Pokéwalker going in a washing machine and the words "DO NOT WASH!" in a circle with a line through it.
:Also, [[Game Boy#Trivia|Nintnendo's consoles are nuke proof]]. I get that red tint too, and I haven't really mistreated my console either. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:27, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
