[[File:2016 Mythical Pokémon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting various Mythical Pokémon]]
'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} seen so rarely in the [[Pokémon world]] that some question their very existence, with some even going so far as to worship them as deities.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141019114239/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokescrap2014/pokemon もらえるプレゼントを詳しく紹介｜ポケモンスクラップ　オメガルビー・アルファサファイア　幻のポケモンたちをもらおう！　キャンペーン] (Japanese, archive)</ref> Mythical Pokémon are related to [[Legendary Pokémon]], but are a distinct group.

Traditionally, in the core series Pokémon games, Mythical Pokémon were exclusively available via {{pkmn2|event|event distributions}}. However, starting with [[Generation VI]], several Mythical Pokémon can also be obtained during normal gameplay.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused). The first time a group of Mythical Pokémon was consistently distinguished from Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media was in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, where they were referred to as '''Rare Pokémon'''.

Since Generation V, Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are presented as two distinct groups in all official media. For example, several games have promoted that every Legendary Pokémon can be obtained in a particular set of games, even though not all Mythical Pokémon can be. In pre-release material for {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it was advertised that all Legendary Pokémon could be obtained between {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X, Y}}, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire.<ref>[[Media:CoroCoro November 2014 Mythical Places.jpg|November 2014 CoroCoro Comic]] ([[n:Mega Beedrill, Mega Pidgeot revealed|Bulbanews]])</ref> In promotional material for [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, it was advertised that after its release, all Legendary Pokémon could be obtained in Sword and Shield.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/features/#legendary-pokemon | New features added in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra | Pokémon Sword and Shield Official Website]</ref>

==Overview==
===In the core series games===
Mythical Pokémon are regarded as among the rarest in [[Pokémon world]] [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|mythology]]. Some are seemingly unknown to most people, while others are thought of as stuff of legends. They typically receive minimal exposure during normal gameplay, usually alluded to in vague hints. They are then revealed to players months or years after the debut of their respective [[generation]]. Upon being revealed, they are celebrated across the numerous media, often starring in {{pkmn|movie}}s and being featured prominently in {{pkmn|merchandise}}.

When they are first revealed, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained in the [[core series]] games in the course of normal gameplay. They can typically only be obtained by [[Mystery Gift]] (either directly, or through use of an [[event item]]). Mystery Gift distributions of Mythical Pokémon are often held on special occasions, such as screenings of Pokémon movies, events in retail stores, online distributions, etc. Some Mythical Pokémon can be obtained via {{spin-off games}} that feature special connectivity.

All Mythical Pokémon are [[gender unknown]]. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], with the sole exception of {{p|Meltan}}. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, except {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}, who can be bred with {{p|Ditto}} to produce Phione {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

Much like how [[first partner Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the only exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's first partner Pokémon.

Mythical Pokémon are not required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for rewards such as the [[diploma]], except {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and {{p|Arceus}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, which are available as part of the story. Some Mythical Pokémon are often part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]], most commonly a Legendary duo, Mythical duo, or Legendary quartet.
====Availability====
Originally, Mythical Pokémon were exclusively [[Pokémon availability|available]] via event distributions, or other special means such as spin-off games. Over time, however, several Mythical Pokémon have become available within the core series games themselves during the course of regular gameplay. In [[Generation VIII]], several Mythical Pokémon are obtainable in-game by having save files from other Pokémon games on the [[Nintendo Switch]].

The following Mythical Pokémon can be obtained in the core series games, without requiring access to a limited time event:
* {{p|Deoxys}}, in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}
* {{p|Celebi}} (can be {{Shiny}}), in the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}, which is no longer available for purchase
* {{p|Magearna}}, in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}
* {{p|Keldeo}}, in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[The Crown Tundra]] {{pkmn|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Expansion Pass}}
* {{p|Mew}}, in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (if save data from {{LGPE}} is detected)
* {{p|Jirachi}}, in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (if save data from {{g|Sword and Shield}} is detected)
* {{p|Arceus}} (can be {{Shiny}}), in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (if save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} that has completed all 27 {{DL|Task|Mission}}s is detected in patch 1.3.0 or later)
* {{p|Arceus}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}
* {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}
* {{p|Shaymin}}, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} (if save data from {{g|Sword and Shield}} is detected)
* {{p|Darkrai}}, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} (if save data from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} is detected)
* {{p|Meloetta}}, in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] Part 2, [[The Indigo Disk]]
* {{p|Pecharunt}}, in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] Epilogue, [[Mochi Mayhem]]

The following Mythical Pokémon can be obtained from side-series games, without requiring access to a limited time event:
* {{p|Mew}} via [[Hayley's trades]] in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] after storing 999 Pokémon in the Ranch and trading her an Egg.
* {{p|Celebi}} via the Japanese {{g|Colosseum Bonus Disc}}
* {{p|Jirachi}} (can be {{Shiny}}), via the American {{g|Colosseum Bonus Disc}}, or the European versions of {{g|Channel}}, which can be transferred to {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}
* {{p|Manaphy}} (can be {{Shiny}} if traded and hatched in a game other than the original recipient's game) via the {{DL|Ranger Net|Passwords|Ranger Net}} menu in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} by entering a password, completing a Mission, and transferring the [[Egg]] to any [[Generation IV]] game. Since this data can't be erased, transferring another Manaphy from the same copy of a Pokémon Ranger game is impossible. Also, the Wii U's [[Virtual Console]] version can't transfer Manaphy at all.
* {{p|Phione}} (can be {{Shiny}}), via [[breeding]] Manaphy obtained from Pokémon Ranger
* {{p|Meltan}} (can be {{Shiny}} during certain events), from {{g|GO}} via the [[Mystery Box]]
* {{p|Melmetal}}, by evolving Meltan in GO
* [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|Original Color]] {{p|Magearna}}, from [[Pokémon HOME]] as a {{pkmn2|gift}} obtained upon completing the [[National Pokédex]] up to {{p|Eternatus}} (though this includes event-exclusive Mythical Pokémon)
* Melmetal with the [[Gigantamax#Gigantamax Factor|Gigantamax Factor]], from Pokémon HOME as a gift obtained upon transferring a Pokémon from GO to HOME for the first time using the [[GO Transporter]]

====History====
Despite the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, being added to the original games right before release, the concept of "illusory monsters" (Mythical Monsters) already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. They were said to be hard to encounter, hard to catch, or be impossible to catch if the player missed their chance. For example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around two hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

====Statistical average====
Considering [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s as separate Pokémon, but only counting {{p|Arceus}} once.

{{-}}

====Multiple Mythical Pokémon====
Sometimes, the {{player}} is able to acquire multiple Mythical Pokémon of the same species by trading or transferring them from multiple games, or by attending multiple real-life distributions. There are other instances of multiple Mythical Pokémon:
* It is possible to acquire multiple {{p|Phione}} {{pkmn|Egg}}s by {{pkmn|breeding}} {{p|Manaphy}} with {{p|Ditto}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, three Phione are found in [[Seaside Hollow]].
* The Pokédex states that {{p|Meltan}} live in groups, and that at the end of {{p|Melmetal}}'s lifespan, the small shards it leaves behind will eventually be reborn as Meltan. Additionally, multiple Meltan are seen together in promotional videos.
* {{p|Zarude}} lives deep within dense forests in a pack with others of its kind.

===In the anime===
Mythical Pokémon typically make their {{pkmn|anime}} debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Most are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the {{pkmn|games}} and anime.

In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. The first {{pkmn|Trainer}} seen owning a Mythical Pokémon in the anime was the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], the antagonist of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', who managed to catch the titular {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} with a [[Dark Ball]], until it was later freed from his control. In the main series anime, {{si|Tobias}} holds the distinction of being the first person seen to own a Mythical Pokémon, using a {{p|Darkrai}} to easily defeat most of his opponents in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with Ash being the only Trainer in the tournament to have succeeded in defeating it. {{al|Dia}}, an inhabitant of the [[Ultra Ruin]], has befriended the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}} to the point where it allows him to command it in battle. Ash owns a Mythical Pokémon, {{AP|Melmetal}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{p|Meltan}} in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'' after it befriended his {{AP|Rowlet}}.

==List of Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 23 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(23/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%).

===Generation I===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].

====Mew====
[[File:Faraway Island Mew.png|thumb|300px|{{ga|May}} encountering {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]]]]
{{p|Mew}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. It is believed to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon in its DNA. Initially thought to be extinct, a {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|scientific team}} has reported sightings of it in [[Guyana]]. However, Mew has only been seen living in [[Faraway Island|a Faraway Island]] in Kanto, supposedly at the brink of extinction. {{p|Mewtwo}} was created after a series of experiments based on Mew, which resulted a mutated clone of it.

Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and the stat distribution of 100 to each stat also created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series. Pokémon following this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{form|Shaymin|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.

Designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]], it was initially unavailable and unknown to players, before being revealed by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] in the spring of 1996 in an issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Initially, a lottery was held to distribute the Pokémon experimentally to a limited number of players, and a {{OBP|Mew|Wizards Promo 47|promotional card}} was included in the January issue of CoroCoro. Supposed {{DL|Easter egg|Truck|methods}} of obtaining Mew, passed on through word-of-mouth, contributed to the success of the Pokémon series. Its success was mirrored in the west with the eventual release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, making Mew a prominent character of the first generation, co-starring in the first animated movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

In {{game|Emerald}}, with the [[Old Sea Map]] [[event item]], the player can travel to [[Faraway Island]], where they can encounter a wild Mew, after they complete a game of hide-and-seek with it. This is the only time Mew has appeared in the wild (excluding [[glitch]]es).

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it can use a unique [[Z-Crystal]] known as the [[Mewnium Z]], which allows it to perform the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}. In Sun and Moon, the Mewnium Z was only available through a {{g|Bank}} promotion, but it is available in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} by showing a Mew to a man in the [[Tide Song Hotel]] in [[Heahea City]].

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Mew is given to the player by an NPC if save data for {{LGPE}} is found on the Nintendo Switch, making it the fourth or fifth (tied with Jirachi) Mythical Pokémon available in regular gameplay without an event.

===Generation II===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|left|140px|{{p|Celebi}} sitting on the [[Ilex Forest shrine]]]]
{{p|Celebi}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Grass}}-type Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it [[Time travel|travels through time]].

Celebi shares a special connection with the [[Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]] and the [[Agate Village]]'s {{DL|Agate Village|Relic Forest}} in [[Orre]], having the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] and the [[Relic Stone]] as monuments to honor it in those areas.

Introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the "New Mew" soon after being revealed because of its similar size and stats with Mew, as well as the status of being the last in the Pokédex as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. It first became available in [[Nintendo Space World]] 2000 in Japan, with numerous other events coming in the following years worldwide.

In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player has the [[GS Ball]] [[Key Item]], they can encounter a wild Celebi in [[Ilex Forest]]. In the original [[Game Boy Color]] release of Pokémon Crystal, this item was distributed via [[Mobile System GB]] in Japan (it was not available outside of Japan). In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release, the player can obtain the GS Ball in normal gameplay in [[Goldenrod City]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], making this the second time a Mythical Pokémon can be encountered in normal gameplay (after {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}). The Celebi can be {{Shiny}}, but the Virtual Console release is no longer available since the 3DS Nintendo eShop was discontinued in March 2023.

In {{g|Colosseum}}, Celebi appears if the player uses a [[Time Flute]] at the [[Relic Stone]], descending from above and then flying around a [[Shadow Pokémon]] to instantly [[purification|purify]] it. In the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], the player can obtain Celebi after purifying all 48 Shadow Pokémon in the game.

It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. A Celebi also had a central role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. A {{Shiny}} Celebi appeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].

====Jirachi====
[[File:Jirachi Encounter.png|thumb|240px|{{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] encountering {{p|Jirachi}}]]
{{p|Jirachi}} is a {{2t|Steel|Psychic}}-type Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. It is said to able to grant any wishes written on the tags on its head once awake. It only wakes up for seven days once every thousand years. If in danger, it will fight without waking up.

Jirachi was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and it, like Mew and Celebi, is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon with 100 for each [[base stat]]. It was revealed in 2003 in the context of the sixth movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it starred. It first became available in Japan to players who pre-ordered tickets to the movie, with other limited distribution events following throughout the year. Its distribution in the west was altered, as it was included in the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in the United States and in {{g|Channel}} in Europe and Australia. Unlike its predecessors, Jirachi does not have an extensive story or event in the core games, with its lore limited to a few indirect [[Mossdeep City|references]].

Jirachi is heavily connected to the real-world Japanese festival of {{wp|Tanabata}}, with several [[List of Tanabata event Pokémon|distributions]] occurring in celebration of the event.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Jirachi is given to the player by an NPC if save data for {{g|Sword and Shield}} is found on the Nintendo Switch, making it the fourth or fifth (tied with Mew) Mythical Pokémon available in regular gameplay without an event.
{{-}}

====Deoxys====
[[File:Ranger 3 Deoxys mission art.png|thumb|240px|left|Attack Forme {{p|Deoxys}} surrounded by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s]]
{{p|Deoxys}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. It mutated from a space virus when exposed to a laser beam. It is able to change its {{form|Deoxys|form}}, altering its appearance and traits. The crystal on its chest acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.

Although it retained a base stat total of 600, Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a base stat distribution other than 100 in every stat. Additionally, Deoxys introduced the concept of [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]] which altered the distribution of stats.

In spite of being included in the preceding games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Deoxys was first made available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Officially revealed in late 2003 as a leading character in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', players were first able to capture Deoxys by use of the [[AuroraTicket]], which provided access to Birth Island, where it appears in-game.

While Deoxys originally had little impact on the story of [[Generation III]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} introduced the [[Delta Episode]], a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in which the player must stop a meteor from hitting the planet by destroying it with a befriended {{p|Rayquaza}}, revealing a Deoxys within. This marked the first time a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.

Contrary to its classification in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] as well as the [[Scholastic]] book ''[[Official Guide to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]]'' call Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}

===Generation IV===
Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

====Manaphy and Phione====
{{main|Sea guardians}}
[[File:Phione Legends Arceus.png|thumb|250px|right|A {{p|Manaphy}} and three {{p|Phione}} in [[Seaside Hollow]]]]
The sea guardians-{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}-are a duo of {{type|Water}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Manaphy are born on cold seafloors, also swimming great distances to return to their birthplace, and are born with a wondrous power to bond with any kind of Pokémon. Phione live in warm seas, using the inflation sac on their heads to search for food and to drift in packs, always returning to the place of their birth. Together, these two Pokémon species make up a [[Legendary duo|Mythical duo]] of a parent and child.

Manaphy and Phione have the unique ability among Mythical Pokémon to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} with {{p|Ditto}} in captivity to produce Phione. Phione cannot, however, [[evolution|evolve]] into Manaphy. {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only game in which Phione can be caught; in all other games, the only legitimate way to obtain one in-game is to breed a Manaphy or another Phione. Phione is the weaker of the two Pokémon, having 80 distributed into each stat instead of 100. It is impossible to get a Manaphy Egg through this method.

Manaphy was first made available to those who pre-ordered tickets for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' in Japan. Anyone who pre-ordered tickets received a voucher which could be redeemed from June 17 to August 31, 2006, to access {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}'s [[Ranger Net]] mission, "Recover the Precious Egg!". Once completed, a Manaphy Egg could be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and hatched. Pokémon Ranger's sequel games, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} have similar downloadable missions where Manaphy Eggs can be transferred to not only Diamond and Pearl but {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} as well. Manaphy has since been released through distribution as most other Mythical Pokémon.

Manaphy and three Phione are available in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} from {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} 66 "The Sea's Legend". Manaphy is unique, but after the request is completed, there is a small chance for more Phione to appear. Of the Mythical Pokémon to be available within a game without an event, they are the only ones to be available before the [[credits]] without the need of another Pokémon game, although in order to find them, the player is expected to use {{DL|Sinnoh myths|The Sea's Legend|information}} from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
{{-}}

====Darkrai====
[[File:Darkrai Newmoon Island.png|thumb|220px|left|{{p|Darkrai}} using {{m|Dark Void}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
{{p|Darkrai}} is a {{type|Dark}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. It chases people and Pokémon away from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. However, it is merely protecting itself and means no harm. It is particularly active on moonless nights.

Darkrai is heavily connected with the {{status|sleep}} [[status condition]], as reflected by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Bad Dreams}}, and its [[signature move]], {{m|Dark Void}}. It also learns related moves, such as {{m|Nightmare}}. From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any other Pokémon.

Darkrai has appeared with an antagonistic role in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, specifically as an enemy of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Cresselia}}. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player must also cure {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare using a [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]] from Cresselia. The two Pokémon's relationship is further cemented in the anime episode ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which Cresselia is revealed to actively drive Darkrai away from [[Canalave City]]. Collectively, the two Pokémon are known by a fan designator, the [[lunar duo]].

Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007, and was first made available to those who owned Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and watched ''[[M10|Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in Japan from release to September 9, 2007. Other distributions were made available afterward. Notably, in {{game|Platinum}}, an event gave the [[Member Card]] to players over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], activating an in-game event which allowed for capture of Darkrai on [[Newmoon Island]].

Darkrai is available in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} from {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} 93 "The Darksome Nightmare", if the player has a save file from {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
{{-}}

====Shaymin====
[[File:Platinum Flower Paradise-1.jpg|thumb|240px|Land and Sky Form {{p|Shaymin}} in a field of [[Gracidea]] flowers]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a {{type|Grass}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Shaymin live in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Shaymin are able to dissolve toxins in the air to transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. When sensing gratitude, the flowers all over its body burst into bloom.

When exposed to the blooming [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] during the daytime, Shaymin becomes {{form|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} Shaymin. Sky Forme has altered stats from its original Land Forme and takes on the {{t|Flying}} type as a secondary type. Shaymin will revert to its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}} or, before [[Generation VII]], when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008 as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and in early June 2008, its Sky Forme was revealed. Shaymin was first made available to owners of Pokémon {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} during the theatrical showing of the movie in Japan from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Other distributions were later made available, but a notable distribution occurred for North American and PAL players from September 28 to November 8, 2009, through the distribution of the {{gdis|List of Key Items|IV|Key Item}} [[Oak's Letter]]. This item allowed players to access [[Seabreak Path]] and capture a Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]]. In the remakes, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Oak's Letter was distributed from February 27 to March 27, 2022.

Shaymin is available in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} from {{DL|Task|Requests|request}} 92 "A Token of Gratitude", if the player has a save file from {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
{{-}}

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
{{p|Arceus}} is a {{type|Normal}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. According to mythology, Arceus emerged from an Egg before the universe even existed and then shaped the world with its 1,000 arms.

Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]] and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[Legendary trio]]s. First, it created the [[Pokémon of Myth]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, and created spirit, and has since been residing in the [[Hall of Origin]], which will connect to [[Spear Pillar]] when the [[Azure Flute]] is played there. As their creator, it is often viewed by fans as the [[Legendary leader|leader]] of both trios. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be considered the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be considered the master of two.

Arceus actually possesses [[Disputed Pokémon|an unknown true form]] that it takes while in [[Dimension#Arceus's realm|its realm]], while the form it is usually seen in is a mere piece of its whole being.

Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". Both [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate]]s scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus's creation of the universe. It receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find. It is the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and a major focus of the [[Generation V]] [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Conquest}}.

Arceus's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Multitype}}, allows it to {{form|Arceus|change its form}} and [[type]] depending on which Plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}.

Arceus was officially revealed on February 14, 2009, and first made available to players on July 18 of that year, the day when ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' premiered in Japan. Arceus was revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is obtained in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} during the final {{DL|Task|Missions|mission}} of the game, mission 28, "The Deified Pokémon". Doing so also unlocks a [[save data bonus]] allowing the player to battle and catch another Arceus in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, which can be {{Shiny}}.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Victini}} on [[Liberty Garden]].]]
{{p|Victini}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}-type Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. It is said that this Pokémon brings victory and that Trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter. It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it. When it shares the energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power.

Victini is notable for appearing before the first partner Pokémon of its [[Generation V|debut generation]], giving it the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex number]] #000, a first in the Pokémon series.

Victini was revealed in a preview for [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]] which was shown at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. It was made available in-game by use of the [[Liberty Pass]], an [[event item]] which was distributed across varying time periods worldwide. The Liberty Pass allowed players to travel to [[Liberty Garden]]. Once there, the player would be challenged by members of [[Team Plasma]] and could find Victini in the basement of the lighthouse.

However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Upon entering the café in [[Castelia City]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

However, after learning of the project, [[N]] had it canceled along with [[P2 Laboratory]] shut down because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. A {{tc|Scientist}} named Dudley secretly kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back. Genesect uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}}'s visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].

===Generation VII===
Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VII]].

====Magearna====

Its body is entirely metallic and contains tricky machinery and acts as a vessel for the secret hidden inside its chest. Its core, known as a {{A|Soul-Heart}}, is its true body, an artificial soul. Magearna has the ability to understand emotions and feelings with people.

Magearna has a {{form|Magearna|second form}} known as its Original Color form. This form is stated to be the appearance that it had originally took when presented to the king's daughter. The difference in this form is purely cosmetic; it is gold and red. This form existed in the Generation VII games but was not distributed until [[Generation VIII]], where it can be received as a reward for completing the [[National Pokédex]] in {{g|HOME}}. Additionally, Magearna's base form had no shiny appearance in Generation VII, it's true shiny appearance was [[Lillie's Magearna|revealed in the anime]], and was coded into {{G|Sword and Shield}}.

It was first revealed in the March 2016 issue of CoroCoro.

In the present day, it was kidnapped by [[Alva]], a corrupt minister of the [[Azoth Kingdom]] who sought to use Magearna's powers for his own selfish purposes.
{{-}}

====Marshadow====
[[File:Marshadow Z Move artwork.png|thumb|right|200px|Zenith {{p|Marshadow}} using its exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}}]]
{{p|Marshadow}} is a {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}}-type Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Its very existence is the stuff of myth, as very few people have ever seen it. Marshadow is known to travel through the shadows of humans and Pokémon in order to become stronger by copying the power of movements within said shadows. It has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like transformations|form-like transformation]] known as Zenith Marshadow which is triggered when its fighting spirit starts burning.

It can utilize a unique [[Z-Crystal]], the [[Marshadium Z]], which allows it to use the exclusive [[Z-Move]] [[Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike]].

====Meltan and Melmetal====
[[File:Melmetal and Meltan.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Melmetal}} and multiple {{p|Meltan}}]]
{{p|Meltan}} and its evolved form {{p|Melmetal}} are a pair of {{type|Steel}} {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. the pair were introduced in the core series in {{LGPE}}, although it first appeared in {{g|GO}} on September 21, 2018, by way of large numbers of {{p|Ditto}} disguised as Meltan. Meltan's identity was revealed on September 25, 2018. On October 24, 2018, it was revealed that Meltan can [[evolution|evolve]] into another Steel-type Mythical Pokémon, {{p|Melmetal}}.

Meltan is known to be curious and expressive. It is instinctively drawn to metal that it could dissolve and absorb, including other Meltan. This behavior allows them to combine and evolve into Melmetal. Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times for creating metal. After it lifespan reached its end 3000 years ago, it turned into several Meltan, however its worshippers stored the Meltan in [[Mystery Box|Mystery Boxes]] where they can be kept safe until they can fuse into a Melmetal once again. Melmetal also has a unique [[Gigantamax]] Form that was seen as a cyclops.

Meltan can be caught when opening the [[Mystery Box]] in Pokémon GO, which causes many Meltan to spawn around the player for a limited time. Meltan can only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO, requiring 400 Meltan [[Candy (GO)|Candies]].

Meltan is a Mythical Pokémon that is only obtainable in Pokémon GO. Melmetal was once the same, but has since been distributed as a gift in {{g|HOME}} given for transferring Pokémon from GO using the [[GO Transporter]], this gift is a special Melmetal capable of Gigantamaxing in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

A group of {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} first appeared in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]''. In ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', one of them was {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}}. In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Ash's Meltan evolved into {{AP|Melmetal}} by combining with the other Meltan.
{{-}}

===Generation VIII===

====Pecharunt====

{{p|Pecharunt}} is a {{2t|Poison|Ghost}}-type Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. It produces [[Mochi|Binding mochi]], which it feeds to other Pokémon and humans. The mochi draws out other's desires and potential abilities, but others who taste it become chained to its will. Pecharunt is the master of the [[Loyal Three]]; it met {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} on separate occasions, using its Binding Mochi and {{a|Toxic Chain}}s to not only tame them, but also transform the three. The chains were wrapped around their bodies, transforming them into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] known in the present day, granting them their wishes; strength, cleverness, and beauty respectively, and turning them into its retainers. It led the trio to Kitakami to steal {{ga|Ogerpon}}'s masks for its caretakers back home. After heavily injuring Ogerpon's partner and stealing three of their masks, Ogerpon became enraged and engaged the trio in combat, defeating and slaying its retainers. Unable to defend itself, Ogerpon defeated Pecharunt as well, but it managed to survive by retreating into its shell, rolling deep into the forest.

[[Pecharunt (game)|Pecharunt]] can be awakened by a [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] during {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]]. It starts secretly going around Mossui Town, using its poisonous mochi to control the the town's inhabitants. As time went on, Pecharunt managed to take control of everyone in Mossui Town, including [[Carmine]], [[Nemona]], Shige, Aya, [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito, Hideko]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]]. The only ones left (apart from the [[Pokémon Center lady]]), the player and [[Kieran]], together managed to defeat Pecharunt's puppets and finally capture it, freeing all in Mossui Town from its control.

==Trivia==
* In the {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex}}, Mythical Pokémon and other [[Special Pokémon]] are marked by a special golden background in their [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one.
* {{p|Meltan}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[evolution]].
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
* {{p|Diancie}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* {{type|Fairy}} {{p|Arceus}} and Original Color {{p|Magearna}} are the only [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] of Mythical Pokémon that were made obtainable in later generations than the Pokémon themselves.
** Fairy-type Arceus is the only Mythical Pokémon form introduced in a later generation than the Pokémon itself, as Magearna's Original Color form was present in [[Generation VII]] but was unobtainable.
* Excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s alternate forms, there are no {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, or {{t|Dragon}}-type Mythical Pokémon.
* {{t|Psychic}} is the most common type among Mythical Pokémon, with seven of them being either pure or part Psychic type.
* All Mythical Pokémon only have one possible Ability in each form.
* [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Dratini}} state that it was believed to be a Mythical Pokémon until it was caught by a {{tc|fisher|fisherman}}.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were treated similarly to Mythical Pokémon in the core series [[Generation III]] games and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. They cannot be obtained through normal gameplay in these games, nor are they required to complete any Pokédex. Lugia and Ho-Oh have been treated the same as other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in all games starting with {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
* The core series Pokémon game with the most Mythical Pokémon obtainable without events is {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, with five unique Mythical Pokémon species and the ability to catch indefinite {{p|Phione}}.
* The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] does not follow Mythical Pokémon being gender unknown. Several Mythical Pokémon are referred to by gender pronouns, such as [[Celebi (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Celebi]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] being called female, and [[Keldeo (Gates to Infinity)|Keldeo]] and [[Victini (Gates to Infinity)|Victini]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] being called males.
* In the internal data of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, {{p|Shiinotic}} is defined as a Mythical Pokémon instead of {{p|Marshadow}}. This is likely due to a typo between their internal names, with 「マシェード」 ''Mashēdo'' (Shiinotic) being mistaken for 「マーシャドー」 ''Māshadō'' (Marshadow).<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1613414136079323137</ref>

'''Butterfree''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バタフリー''' ''Butterfree'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Caterpie}}.

Butterfree has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Butterfree is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of legs resemble small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. The red compound eyes at a closer look are reveled to be myriad of tiny eyes. Its two pairs of wings are white with black {{wp|Insect wing#Venation|venation}}. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male.

The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results in several status conditions. It will defend {{p|Caterpie}} from bird Pokémon using this powder. This powder also repels water, enabling it to gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree can use its sensitive antenna to detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles (ten kilometers) from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Sometimes, it has territorial disputes with {{p|Cutiefly}} over fields of flowers. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by {{p|Heracross}}, as seen in [[EP119|the anime]]. Butterfree is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, but it has also [[EP021|been observed]] flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern.

As Gigantamax Butterfree, its size increases to gigantic length with an altered look. The wings and the patterns on them change to a light and dark green color with hints of white. The antennae change to bright green and extend to the point where the tip bends, and three red clouds surround them. The eyes change to a bright glowing red. A fur-like circle is attached to both the wings and back of Butterfree. Several green scales can be seen floating around Butterfree, which are its most effective weapons, capable of releasing paralysis, poisoning, or sleep. The scales were created from crystallized [[Gigantamax]] energy.

The massive wings are powerful enough to lift a ten-ton truck through a simple flap.

==Trivia==

* Butterfree was the first Pokémon shown in the {{pkmn|anime}} with an alternate color, [[Pink Butterfree|pink]] in its case. This has only been seen in a single female, and unlike a {{Shiny}} Butterfree, which has green eyes and pink wings, limbs, and snout, this Butterfree only differed in its pink body and wings.
* Butterfree shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Beautifly}}. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
* Butterfree can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Beedrill}}. Both of their unevolved stages evolve at level 7 and again at level 10. They both go through metamorphosis-like evolution and have the same base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to {{game3|Black and White|Black|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]], Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2. Also, both have an alternate form only available in-battle (Gigantamax Butterfree and Mega Beedrill, respectively).

===Origin===
Butterfree seems to be based on the {{wp|Aporia crataegi|black-veined white}} {{wp|butterfly}}.

[[Gigantamax]] Butterfree may be inspired by the {{wp|kaiju}} {{wp|Mothra}}.

====Name origin====
Butterfree may be a combination of ''butterfly'' and ''free'' (referring to its ability to fly after being grounded for two evolutionary stages). It may also be derived from the Gaelic ''butterflee''.

Its Japanese name may also involve パタパタ ''patapata'' (the sound of wings flapping) and 振る ''furu'' (to flap).

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Squirtle}}.

Blastoise has two other forms.
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Blastoise''' using the [[Blastoisinite]].
* It has a [[Gigantamax]] form that was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Blastoise is the [[game mascot]] of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese]] and international versions of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], appearing on the boxart of both.

==Biology==
Blastoise is a large, bipedal turtle-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.

The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back are capable of producing water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and can be used for high-speed charges. Blastoise deliberately makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and to crush its opponents. It has two former [[signature move]]s, {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. [[EP060|The anime has shown]] that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}.

As Mega Blastoise, it develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with their own water cannon. The two cannons on its back are replaced by a single, central water cannon of greater size that can retract into its shell. This cannon extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and is said to have a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears. The ears angle slightly backward and there is a small point on its chin.

As Gigantamax Blastoise, it becomes larger. The pupils become white with bright blue sclera. The blue arms, head, and legs change to light blue. The underside of the shell is now colored dark red. The shell transforms into a battleship-like shell with 31 cannons of different sizes. Sets of twin cannons emerge from hexagon or rectangle-shaped holes within the shell. Several white triangle spots are located on its tail and legs. Three red clouds surround the main cannon.

Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation using various cannon combinations. It never aims in battle as it prefers to overwhelm its opponent by launching dynamic, powerful torrents from its cannons. The main reason is due to it being unable to do precision shooting. According to one legend, its main cannon is so staggeringly powerful it can blast holes through the mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also move its 12 cannons surrounding the main cannon individually to attack in any direction it aligns<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-blastoise/</ref>.

Gigantamax Blastoise is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cannonade}}.

A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', where it ruled over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle. It had a {{an|Jigglypuff}} stuck in one of its cannons, and Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing|song}} subsequently made everyone fall asleep.

A Blastoise [[nickname]]d Shellshocker appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Neesha]]. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Corey]]'s {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Squirtletwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone.

In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusion of Blastoise in order to frighten [[Ash's Squirtle]].

''"Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating.

A trophy of Mega Blastoise also exists in both versions of the game.
====Trophy information====
=====Blastoise=====
'''NA:''' ''On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!''

'''PAL:''' ''Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!''
=====Mega Blastoise=====
'''NA''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.''

'''PAL''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.''

==Trivia==
* Blastoise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.
* [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Early concept art]] for a Pokémon called "Karabajio" resembles Blastoise without its signature water cannons. The name may be a combination of "''carapace''" and ''{{wp|Caravaggio}}''.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Blastoise is the only Mega Evolved form of a [[starter Pokémon]] that is not a dual-type.

===Origin===
Blastoise's design appears to be a {{wp|turtle}} mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}. Blastoise's cannons may have been derived from the functioning tubes found in {{wp|mussel}}s and some other {{wp|shellfish}}, thus its {{pkmn|category}}.

====Name origin====
Blastoise is a combination of ''blast'' (referring to its cannons) and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''.

Kamex may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise/turtle) and マックス ''max'' (maximum).

Johans: /* Greedent sprite trivia undo */ new section

{{User:Force Fire/Archive}}

== Goh's Eternatus ==
Hey Force Fire. Can I get an update on [[User:Reinhartmax/Goh's Eternatus]] being mainspaced? Thanks.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 15:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
:No progress as of yet.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

== Template edit request ==

Do you think the Battle Zone could deserve its own separate section on the {{template|Sinnoh}} template, similar to how the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra have theirs on the {{template|Galar}} template? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:12, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
:I think the Battle Zone is more connected with the Sinnoh mainland than IoA and Crown Tundra, so they shouldn't be separated.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

== Shining Fates Page Creation ==

Hey there, Shining Fates (TCG) is pretty close to coming out and almost all, if not all, of the cards are confirmed now. I would do it myself, if I could, but I'm not there yet. Thanks! {{unsigned|MasterEmerald}}
:I'm sure a page will be made whenever someone can make it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

==Vandal==
It appears that the user [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Luigisam Luigisam] is a vandal. They vandalized the talk page for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Hidden_Land Hidden Land] so badly that it won't even open in the editor due to the size of the file (over 3k kilobytes), and I receive an error whenever I try to revert their edit. {{unsigned|SpinyShell}}
:Looks like it's been dealt with.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:02, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
::{{user|Dynamicpokemaster}} made an inappropriate edit that I reversed. Probably counts them as a vandal. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:01, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
:::Since it's one of their three edits, and they haven't edited since, I'd let it go for now. If they do it again, then they'll be warned.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

==Chloe's Eevee==
Given its role in JN049 and JN055, I was wondering if [[User:BigDocFan/Chloe's Eevee]] was notable enough to be mainspaced?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 08:48, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
:I would think so, it has had a notable role in a couple of its episodes and is basically Chloe's signature.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

==I might have found a bug==
When I try to click on the sidebar, nothing respond except the search bar and the other languages options. Is it a problem coming from Bulbapedia or from my navigator?[[User:Kristak|Kristak]] ([[User talk:Kristak|talk]]) 12:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
:Are you using mobile or desktop? Everything is fine on my end.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
::Nevermind, it is functional again. Thanks for responding.[[User:Kristak|Kristak]] ([[User talk:Kristak|talk]]) 12:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
==explain yourself==
[[Cher]] is a blatant reference to the American singer, in fact it is one of if not the most blatant reference Pokemon's dub has done. I know you live down under but surely the people down there know who Cher is. I'm in England and I know who she is, so "speculation" my foot.
In other words, obvious reference is obvious. Not including it is actually quite dumb because of this fact.
[[User:Aden Singh|Aden Singh]] ([[User talk:Aden Singh|talk]]) 13:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Don't believe me forcy? take a look at the episode Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige, then take a look at any Cher interview or acting gig. You'll see the same thing I do.
Not sure what's available on the Aussie Netflix or how you guys get Pokemon down there, but take a look and see for yourself.
I know Cher because my mum (RIP) was a huge Cher fan.
It's not just the name, it's the particular voice that Hillary Thomas gives her. So it isn't "speculation" as you so smartly put it, it's a blatant reference. The only thing that would be more blatant would be giving her the surname Bono or Sarkisian.
[[User:Aden Singh|Aden Singh]] ([[User talk:Aden Singh|talk]]) 13:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

==GlowstoneLove==
They're back and doesn't seem to have learned their [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Aaron_(Elite_Four)&diff=prev&oldid=3334196 lesson].[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 00:10, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
:Whilst they did add nonsense to the talk page, probably not enough to justify a block.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

== James Turner ==

Okay, I understand the Zigzagoon and Linoone placement, but shouldn't that mean Gigantimax Gengar should be moved as well? ([[User:BlazingTurtonator|BlazingTurtonator]] ([[User talk:BlazingTurtonator|talk]]) 18:42, 3 March 2021 (UTC))
:Moved Gengar. I feel that users reading that list might assume it's going by production/generation order rather than it simply being listed by dex number, hence why I undid your edit.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

== Chloe as a protagonist ==
I get what you mean that she's not been labeled a protagonist, but it's not like the show explicitly labels who's a main character and who isn't (aside from Ash of course). It usually depends on promotional trailers/marketing and appearances alongside Ash and Goh.
Ever since Chloe caught Eevee, she's basically become a Trainer.
Supporting anime characters would usually be a rival of one of the main characters, but recently Chloe has been accompanying Ash and Goh a LOT more than before, now that she has a Pokemon of her own.
[[User:Crummymummy|Crummymummy]] ([[User talk:Crummymummy|talk]]) 17:05, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
:[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/tv_movie/anime/ The Japanese site]. As you can see, Chloe is not listed under the main character section like Goh is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:49, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Let's keep that in mind if and when it updates to feature Chloe. [[User:Crummymummy|Crummymummy]] ([[User talk:Crummymummy|talk]]) 17:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

==Post on the /r/Pokemon subreddit==
Hey, so you recently banned a user, [[User:Aden Singh]]. Well, they created a thread on the /r/Pokemon subreddit [https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/lz60al/thanks_bulbapedia_for_the_unjustified_ban/ here] claiming that the ban was unjustified and trying to rally support. I thought you might like to know and maybe step in to explain what happened, since you're named by the OP. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 23:16, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
:I came to check it out, the moderators r/Pokemon removed it already.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 02:10, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

==Evolution Availability==
It's basically confirmed that since the base form Pokémon are available in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl/Legends: Arceus, that their evolutions will be as well, so there's no need to undo it. Pre-release or not, it's common sense that the evolutions will be present in the game's code, unless it's a special case like Yellow Pikachu (meant to emulate the anime) and Let's Go Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee (meant to emulate Yellow).

As far as I'm concerned, this is not the case for Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl/Legends: Arceus.

I've decided already not to do this for Pokemon that appeared already in the original Diamond and Pearl because the wild encounter ratios and pools can vary in remakes. [[User:Crummymummy|Crummymummy]] ([[User talk:Crummymummy|talk]]) 17:52, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
:Pre-release info is still pre-release info, it does not go onto the pages ''until'' the games are released, regardless of common sense and they could still pull a "Yellow" for Legends.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:46, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

== [[User talk:MiltonPkc2730386‎]] ==

I replaced that page's content with <code>{{subst:<nowiki/>welcome}}</code> because I want you to hide the first version of that page, because it contains personal information that can be valuable to criminals (e.g. address of residence). Can you do this? --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] 13:11, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
:Done.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:24, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

== Champion ==

No, I don't know how it works. What's wrong this time? That I added headlines in the table?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 18:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
:Such drastic changes to template structure need to be discussed before they're implemented. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:43, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
::Which change was drastic to you? It all felt like cosmetics.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 18:47, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
:::Yes... you do know how this works. I've told you... many times before. Lots of times actually. If you plan making any changes to a templates '''layout''', then that needs to be discussed. Don't just do as you please.
:::The changes you made weren't as drastic as the changes you would usually do, but it still needs to be discussed. You added a completely new column and shifted around the champion cells. That still counts as a big change. What specifically needed to be changed? The template is fine as is, the column you added and the reshuffling of Champions wasn't necessary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:53, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
::::You're just nitpicking and making it more difficult because I have to go and ask another admin and they are always fine with it. Don't revert my edits just because "I have no permission", everyone can edit these pages and correct them. Every change doesn't have to be "neccesary" to you, it may be neccesery for someone else, do you even care about that?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 08:17, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::And to toss it right back at you, just because you think it's a needed change, doesn't mean everyone else thinks it is. That's why you need to '''discuss''' any major changes you have in mind. The only one making it difficult is yourself by refusing to get other opinions on major changes before acting out on it. You have a history of making these kind of large edits without a discussion. It doesn't matter if you don't think it's a major change, any changes to a template/article's layout '''needs''' to be discussed. It's that simple.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::It was just adding the headlines and I swap around some trainers so they will appear in their order of holding the title. So let's end this topic. Can I revert that back?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 19:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

== Hero duo: Potential mainspacing ==

Hello, I don't know who to talk to about this but I've been working on an article in my userspace that I intended to possibly mainspace: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:ScraftyIsTheBest/Hero_duo

And I think I've mostly completed it and if the staff think it's good for mainspacing, this might be ready for it. If nothing else, I'd like to see what other people among the staff think about this being mainspaced. If not, that's totally cool too, I'd just like to see if staff can have some input about this before I make any attempts to move it to the mainspace.

== Uploading a picture? ==

Hi! So, I was wondering how I can upload a picture onto Bulbapedia. I found a good picture of Sableye from the anime special "Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time and Darkness" that I wanted to use on my User Page. Is there any way I could upload it onto Bulbapedia? Gallade User 02:12, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
:You must be autoconfirmed on the Archives. You can achieve so by editing file pages on the Archives a certain amount of time (it is kept secret). --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] 15:57, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
::How can I do that? I'm still trying to figure all of this out. I also got a screenshot of my Leavanny using Leaf Storm in Pokémon GO against a Landorus because I noticed that Leaf Storm in GO needed a picture. Gallade User 17:27, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

== Ash's Bulbasaur gender ==

Could you say something [[Talk:Ash's_Bulbasaur#Used_male_pronoun_.3D_gender_unknown|here]]?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 22:24, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

== Absol's move ==

:::::::It's the same move that Drew's Absol did when it performed a Razor Wind. It's definitely Razor Wind.

::::::::The problem with above statement is that Air Slash's recent animation in the anime is very similar to what Drew's Absol uses as Razor Wind back in AG. The game animation doesn't entirely help in this case, as it is still a bit questionable to judge without the chance of an error given how similar the two moves look/has looked over the course of time in both media. It'd be safe to wait for a verbal command for this one. [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 15:39, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
:::::::::While there may have been many attacks that gather air around the user, I don't recall any other move that combines that aspect with the wine blades we see here. Not even Air Slash. Also, Air Slash tends to have a blue coloration. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:58, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
::::::::::While blue, I still don't think said moves are visually ''that'' distinct. It's also not exactly a signature move that can be easily assigned to a specific Pokémon or take game animation as a damning evidence to back it up.

:::::::::::Razor Wind is basically Absol's signature move in the anime, as in that Absol has used the move in the anime more than any other species. To me, that fact and the fact that this attack is white and not blue, in addition to the aforementioned charging turn (which, to me, is a dead giveaway to it being Razor Wind), are solid proofs of the move's identity. If it's confirmed as something else, couldn't it be changed ''then'', instead of waiting for it to be confirmed as Razor Wind like I'm 100% sure it's going to be? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:06, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
::::::::::::I feel like we are running around in circles. You're missing the point. I don't deny that there are things that support the move being Razor Wind, but I disagree that they are strong enough to support the claim with 100% accuracy. Once again, it is not visually distinct enough to make a final decision without there being the chance of an error. I'd rather prefer us to wait than having to rectify it later. If it gets verbally confirmed, then good. Until then, we should wait. [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 16:28, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
In JN065, we saw a confirmed use of Psycho Cut, and the animation (one blade per slash vs multiple blades per slash) and coloration (purple vs white) of the move were notably different.

== Question about Lance (anime) ==

What is the general consensus on Lance's current status in the anime (a Champion or former Champion)?

According to FinnishPokéFan92, Lance lost his Champion title, but outside of Lance being referred to as an Elite Four member in JN012 (which I don't feel is sufficient enough evidence), there doesn't seem to be anything that ''definitively'' states that Lance is a ''former'' Champion. After looking into edit history on various pages, Finnish seems to be the primary advocate for this as well.

However, [[Mike Pollock]] [https://twitter.com/itsamike/status/767047739720949761?s=20 has claimed that he himself voiced the character], and that the information on Bulbapedia is inaccurate.

Secondly, [[User:BigDocFan/XY_Series_Cast_lists%23XYS05|the cast list]] BigDocFan received from the voice director listed [[Eddy Lee]] along with Pay Pental as voicing [[Jan (XYS05)]], however, when I tried to add the former to the character's page, I was informed that Eddy Lee himself had [https://twitter.com/EddyTZenLee/status/1341425782770556928 denied voicing Jan] on Twitter.

Dawn even had a flashback to that episode when saying that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
:Saying it's the same one is speculation, she could just be speaking in general, as in she's met ''a'' Cresselia before (not necessarily a specific Cresselia).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:47, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
::I'm confused. You reversed your own reversion about Cresselia on JN075, and when I started making reversions to match that, you reversed them too. Why? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:11, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
:::Or was the reversion about something else in the article? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:12, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
::::The Cresselia in the flashback was the same Cresselia in the episode, it was not the same Cresselia in DP104.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:19, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::Um... Yes it was. It was a flashback to that episode. It's the only time Dawn has met a Cresselia before. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Cresselia's altar from DP104 was shown in the flashback, confirming that it was from that episode. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:32, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
::::::Seems I remembered the second flashback/dream sequence more than the split second flashback at the start. But still, no it wasn't. That scene never happens in DP104, so it's not a flashback from that episode, the absence of Ash and Brock also means it's not a flashback from that episode. And the altar being there doesn't mean anything, it's meant to be there if it's Cresselia's home.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:04, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

== On Cyrus' Crobat ==

I looked at the speculation article, and it said inferences could be made, but should disclaim uncertainty. Would the trivia point be valid if uncertainty is disclaimed? I don't care too much if the tidbit is on there or not, but I'm brand new to editing, so I think this might help me understand this sort of thing better. [[User:General Kipicus|General Kipicus]] ([[User talk:General Kipicus|talk]]) 19:13, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
:No. It's still speculation. Fan theories are simply not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:22, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Okay. I get ya. I seriously want to thank you for the timely reversions on my edits, it's really helped me get a much better grasp on the boundaries on a lot of this stuff.

==Steven==
I saw you reverted the edit, despite I opened a discussion because I could not find literally ANY source that state Steven is a specialist, and hoped at least to start the discussion about it, because, I literally couldn't find anything that state Steven is a Steel specialist at all, the only thing that I founded is him stating his favourite type is Steel, but that don't mean he is a specialist, even because he have more no-Steel then Steel. So... unless there is a source that I could not find... I don't see why he should be considered a specialist at all.--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 17:05, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
:He uses them, they're stated to be his type of preferred pokemon in his Trainer's Eyes info (which you're selectively ignoring in favor of the ORAS label), and they're his favorite. Ergo he is a specialist. Almost all Champions use a variety regardless if they're a specialist or not (Wallace being the only exception; even Iris added some variety to her dragons), so yeah, he uses plenty of non-Steel types. You're overthinking this. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 12:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
::Oh, didn't saw the answer sorry. Btw, the statment is not correct. Lance and Iris are actually stated to be Dragon specialist, and Lance got a full Dragon teams in generations with a larger Dragon pool, but yhea... I completly forgot about the Trainer's Eyes. My bad, that seems actually a confirmation to him being a specialist--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 17:17, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

== Triple Axel's Origin section ==

I added that section to the {{m|Triple Axel}} page due to the fact the {{m|Rain Dance}} page also had one, in an attempt to do this for other moves (such as {{m|Twister}}). However, I actually merged the Trivia and Origin sections on the Rain Dance page for consistency's sake. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]'''''[[User talk:Bfdifan2006|something to say?]] · [[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|My work documentation]] 11:06, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

== Unique animation ==

Just because a move is not listed on the page of unique anime move animations doesn't mean that it's not identifiable based on move animations from the same series. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:55, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
:Just because it has a similar animation to a previously used move, doesn't mean it's the same move. The animators could easily decide to have one animation for multiple moves.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:29, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to change the lists of Z-Moves and Max Moves a Pokémon has used (like {{DL|Ash's Pikachu|Z-Moves used|this one}}) to resemble the regular move templates. I can understand the template style used in them being used for improvised moves, but for Z-Moves and Max Moves, I feel having the description on the Pokémon's page is pointless, as it's the move article's job to house the description. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:47, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

== Bea (anime) ==

Hi, this would probably be something to ask after the double episode of the battle against Bea, but anyway... I was wondering what the chances of [[User:Hikaru Wazana/Bea (anime)|this page here]] going to mainspace. I tried to put a lot of information about the character that isn't on the main page(fighting style, her Pokémon, her personality, more information about her manga counterpart) and since she's one of the main rivals of the Journeys it's kind of a real pity she doesn't have a page of her own. Now with the next two episodes, this page will even be able to receive a lot of information too.
I've even tried to avoid writing errors and try to revise the article whenever I can. What do you think?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 13:00, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

== I have concerns regarding the rules in this Bulbapedia community and generic questions about the wikipedia. ==

Hello there
I am kinda new to the Bulbapedia community maintained Wikipedia and don't know much about it. I have few concerns which relates to the following questions
1. What is the purpose of the talk page? how does it function? why there are some special rules which needs to be followed? and what are some of those rules?
2. After how many edits can an user create their own userspace? Why there is only maximum of 3 edits to the userpage per day? why not a different number (let's say 1 or even 10)?
3. What are the special rules of this community poke-wiki which makes it waaay more different than other pokemon fandom wiki's ?
4. Why doesn't the edits reflect in the real page when logged out after an user edits in when logged in? What is you explanation about it? why it is like that?
[[User:MG7134|MG7134]] ([[User talk:MG7134|talk]]) 05:47, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
:#Talk pages are generally used for suggesting improvements and ideas to help grow Bulbapedia. It functions just as a talk page on Wikipedia would. For a full list of rules see the {{bp|Talk page policy}}.
:#The number of edits is secret, and will remain secret. We do not just say the amount as to not have users just make the required amount and then solely focus on their userpage. The reason for the limit dates back to the early days of Bulbapedia when users would edit their userpages too much (I'm guilty of doing this in the past), thus necessitating the need for a limit so users can go back to expanding Bulbapedia.
:#Not sure what "special rules" you are looking for, we do have a bunch of [[:Category:Bulbapedia policies|policies]] that you could check out if you want to know the rules.
:#That I might need to bring up to the Tech, but it might just be a caching thing. Try clearing your cache if your edit doesn't appear to show.

==Pressure and Ice Face==
Edited in the interactions of Pressure and Pressure stacking, and interaction with Eiscue's Ice Face. Testing conducted with a friend in two separate Linked Double Battles. Pressure stacks +1 PP usage with an extra opponent, removing 3 PP per single use in a doubles battle.

Eiscue's Ice Face will execute on the first shot, and Eiscue will take HP damage from the second shot, as tested in a Singles battle. It can be inferred that in a doubles battle, Dragon Darts will only shatter Eiscue's Ice Face, and Eiscue will not take damage.
[[User:Tsareenie|Tsareenie]] ([[User talk:Tsareenie|talk]]) 04:28, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Correction: Pressure was tested in a Linked Doubles Battle. Ice Face was tested in a Linked Singles Battle.

[[User:Tsareenie|Tsareenie]] ([[User talk:Tsareenie|talk]]) 04:34, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
:Regarding Ice Face, the specific question was weather Dragon Darts would be redirected away from it in a Double Battle. The article currently states that "''If either the target or its ally would take no damage from Dragon Darts, both strikes are directed at the other Pokémon instead''". Technically, Ice Face would prevent the Pokémon from taking damage, so the question is whether, if there is one Pokémon that has Ice Face or a substitute, and another that would take damage from Dragon Darts, will both hits be directed at the other Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:39, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

I couldn't help but remembering [https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Ghost_Kamikaze_Attack Super Saiyan Gotenks's "Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack"] the first time I saw this move. Are both based on some literature or folklore thing? Both seem related to [[Ghost (type)|ghosts]].

'''Greedent''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨクバリス''' ''Yokubarisu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Skwovet}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Greedent is a bipedal, squirrel-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan and brown plump body, a buck tooth, yellow nose, stumpy limbs, and a huge tail larger than its body. It has a darker brown area on its cheeks that can also be found on its chest, the underside of its tail, and the tips of its ears. Its fur is fluffy and messy. It also has yellow freckles on its big cheeks and yellow inside of its ears. Its eyes are a black oval-shape with white pupils, with a ring of light brown fur surrounding them.

True to their name, Greedent are extremely greedy and gluttonous. Greedent stuff their tails with so many {{Berries}}, that these Berries fall out constantly, especially when it is hit or [[Fainting|faints]]. Dimwitted, Greedent will not often notice the loss of their food they store. Its sharp teeth are strong enough to gnaw through the strongest of Berry shells.

Greedent and its pre-evolved form {{p|Skwovet}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Stuff Cheeks}}.

==Trivia==
* When Greedent is damaged in the games, a [[Leppa Berry]] falls out of its tail.
* The menu sprite for Greedent has Berries visibly peeking out of its tail, whereas no model or official game artwork shows this.

===Origin===
Greedent may be based on the {{wp|Red squirrel|Eurasian red squirrel}}, a species of squirrel that is endangered in {{wp|Great Britain}}. Their dimwitted nature compared to Skwovet mirrors the fact that grey squirrels are more intelligent than red squirrels in real life.

====Name origin====
Greedent may be a combination of ''greed'' and ''rodent''.

Yokubarisu may be a combination of 欲張り ''yokubari'' (greed) and 栗鼠 ''risu'' (squirrel).

Talk:Dragon Darts (move)

2021-11-16T02:20:01Z

Johans: /* Origin? */ new section

==Pressure and Ice Face==
Edited in the interactions of Pressure and Pressure stacking, and interaction with Eiscue's Ice Face. Testing conducted with a friend in two separate Linked Double Battles. Pressure stacks +1 PP usage with an extra opponent, removing 3 PP per single use in a doubles battle.

Eiscue's Ice Face will execute on the first shot, and Eiscue will take HP damage from the second shot, as tested in a Singles battle. It can be inferred that in a doubles battle, Dragon Darts will only shatter Eiscue's Ice Face, and Eiscue will not take damage.
[[User:Tsareenie|Tsareenie]] ([[User talk:Tsareenie|talk]]) 04:28, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Correction: Pressure was tested in a Linked Doubles Battle. Ice Face was tested in a Linked Singles Battle. Tried to edit my own talk thing and the system said that wasn't allowed, adding it here for posterity and clarity. [[User:Tsareenie|Tsareenie]] ([[User talk:Tsareenie|talk]]) 04:34, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
:Regarding Ice Face, the specific question was weather Dragon Darts would be redirected away from it in a Double Battle. The article currently states that "''If either the target or its ally would take no damage from Dragon Darts, both strikes are directed at the other Pokémon instead''". Technically, Ice Face would prevent the Pokémon from taking damage, so the question is whether, if there is one Pokémon that has Ice Face or a substitute, and another that would take damage from Dragon Darts, will both hits be directed at the other Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:39, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

== Origin? ==

I couldn't help but remembering [https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Ghost_Kamikaze_Attack Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks's "Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack"] the first time I saw this move. Are both based on some literature or folklore thing? Both seem related to [[Ghost (type)|ghosts]]. And, perhaps just coincidentally, to [[Dragon (type)|dragons]], given "Dragon Ball". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] ([[User talk:Johans|talk]]) 02:20, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Light trio

2019-02-23T16:10:17Z

Johans:

{{unknown name}}
[[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Solgaleo Lunala artwork.png|250px|thumb|The light trio]]
'''Light trio''' is a fan term for the [[Legendary trio]] of [[Alola]] that consists of {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}}. Solgaleo and Lunala are available at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}} or [[Mahalo Trail]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, while Necrozma is available at [[Ten Carat Hill]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Mount Lanakila]]{{sup/7|USUM}}.

Furthermore, Solgaleo and Lunala evolve from {{p|Cosmoem}} and can create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. With the power of both Pokémon, they can create {{p|Cosmog}}. When grouped with their pre-evolutions, they are also referred to as the '''Cosmog line'''. Necrozma can create Ultra Wormholes as well. The trio is well known for having brought light into [[Alola]] when it was born and the creation of [[Z-Move]]s.

==History==
Solgaleo and Lunala were introduced as the mascots in the first [[Generation VII]] core games, [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and two forms of Necrozma were the mascots for the second Generation VII core games. Solgaleo is an emissary of the sun known as the "beast that devours the sun". Lunala is an emissary of the moon known as the "beast that calls the moon". According to [[Pokédex]] entries, Solgaleo and Lunala are said to be, respectively, the male and female evolutions of Cosmog. However, the [[gender]] of both are actually considered unknown by the games. Necrozma, the third member of the trio, actively seeks out the other two in order to steal the light they possess, which will allow it to regain its true form, Ultra Necrozma. When Necrozma steals the light of Solgaleo or Lunala, it becomes Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively, which, through the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] and the [[Ultra Burst]] transformation, can become Ultra Necrozma.

According to a book called "The Light of [[Alola]]" found in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}} appeared in Alola many years ago through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The ancient kings of Alola bowed down to the [[Legendary Pokémon]], worshiping it. The [[Guardian deities]] battled it, but were defeated by it, who then however gave the [[Tapunium Z]] to them as a reward. The Legendary Pokémon then created several {{p|Cosmog}} as heirs for Alola, giving the Guardian deities the task of watching over them until they have fully evolved. In gratitude, the kings of Alola gave their thanks with a song on the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}}, at which point the Legendary Pokémon returned to [[Ultra Space]].

In ancient times, Necrozma was referred to as the "Blinding One" who once shared its light across [[Ultra Space]] and [[Alola]]. [[Z-Move]]s were created from this light along with the aura that surrounds [[Totem Pokémon]]. However, the residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] attempted to gain control of Necrozma in order to recreate the light it shares. As a result, Necrozma was permanently crippled, transforming into a crystalline body while experiencing constant pain. Pieces of its original body rained down onto Alola in the form of [[Sparkling Stone]]s, which would result in the creation of the [[Z-Power Ring]]. Necrozma attempted to return to its original form by stealing all of the light from Ultra Megalopolis, leaving it covered in darkness. In response, the residents locked Necrozma in the Megalo Tower in order to prevent it from escaping.

According to secret notes found in the Malie Library, Necrozma at one point invaded Alola, stealing all of its light, covering the region in darkness as a result. Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}, along with the [[Guardian deities]], fought together against Necrozma at the [[Tapu Village]] to recover the stolen light. Necrozma then defeated and absorbed the Legendary Pokémon to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. A youth, along with the Guardian deities, used the power of the [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s to free Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} from Necrozma, who was then banished from Alola. At as a result of its actions, Necrozma was called the "Pillager of Light" by the ancient king of Alola, who ordered that all books mentioning Necrozma were to be burned to prevent further panic. However, not all was destroyed.

==Similar movesets==
Solgaleo's signature move is {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, a damage-dealing Steel-type move that ignores the target's ability. Lunala's signature move is {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, a damage-dealing Ghost-type move that ignores the target's ability. For the duration of these moves or when using their special powers, Solgaleo and Lunala change into their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Solgaleo and Lunala|Radiant Sun phase}} and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Solgaleo and Lunala|Full Moon phase}}, respectively. Necrozma's signature moves are {{m|Photon Geyser}}, a damage-dealing Psychic-type move that ignores the target's ability which also varies between physical attack and special attack depending on which of the stats is highest and {{m|Prismatic Laser}}, the highest base power damage-dealing Psychic-type move. When Necrozma merges with Solgaleo or Lunala, it can use the signature move and signature [[Z-Move]] of the Pokémon it merged with. When it attacks in its base form, part of Necrozma's body glows white.

All three have a signature Z-Move that ignores the target's ability.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
{{main|Nebby}}
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, [[Lillie]] takes care of a Cosmog named Nebby, which she fled from [[Aether Paradise]] with in order to save it from the [[Aether Foundation]]'s experiments. Lillie keeps Nebby in a bag as an attempt to both keep it safe and to keep it from sight. Lillie and Nebby are eventually kidnapped by the Aether Foundation, and [[Lusamine]] takes Nebby and uses it to open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Nebby then evolves into Cosmoem. Later, when the [[player]] and Lillie play the Sun and Moon Flutes at [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}, Nebby evolves into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}} or {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, which is then caught by the player.

Necrozma can be encounter at [[Ten Carat Hill]] after completing the [[Ultra Beast]] side quest and speaking to [[Looker]] at the motel located at [[Akala Island]]'s [[Alola Route 8|Route 8]].
===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
{{main|Nebby}}
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the role of Nebby is the same until the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, where instead of going into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]], {{p|Necrozma}} appears and briefly battles {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|UM}} before absorbing Nebby to become [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dusk Mane]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dawn Wings]]{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. Nebby is later freed after the player defeats [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra]] Necrozma at [[Megalo Tower]]. Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} can be caught by the player at [[Mahalo Trail]] Plank Bridge after defeating [[Gladion]] at the foot of [[Mount Lanakila]] or [[Ilima]] during [[Mina]]'s [[island challenge|trial]].

Necrozma will first be battled as either Dusk Mane Necrozma{{sup/7|US}}or Dawn Wings Necrozma{{sup/7|UM}} at [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, and again as Ultra Necrozma at Megalo Tower. In both encounters, it cannot be caught. Necrozma can be caught afterwards at [[Mount Lanakila]].

==In the anime==
[[File:SM090.png|thumb|right|250px|The Light trio with {{ash}} and {{an|Gladion}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Nebby}}
Solgaleo and Lunala both debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where they appeared to [[Ash Ketchum]] in a dream after descending to the [[Altar of the Sunne]] through two [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. There, they created a {{p|Cosmog}}, which Ash later found and took care of. The Cosmog was then given the name [[Nebby]] by {{an|Lillie}}. Nebby later evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}} during the events of ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'' after being forced by [[Faba]] to open an Ultra Wormhole. In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', the [[guardian deities]] helped Nebby evolve into Solgaleo after performing a ritual. Nebby assisted Ash and {{ashcl}} in rescuing [[Lusamine]] from {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}} in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] before returning to the wild in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''.

Solgaleo and Lunala appeared in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'' in a fantasy, along with {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra Necrozma}}, as part of a legend that explains the origins of [[Alola]] and how the three brought light into the [[region]].

{{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} debuted in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', appearing alongside Nebby and a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Nebby}}
A Cosmog named Nebby first appeared in [[PASM04]], where it was under the care of [[Lillie]]. In [[PASM17]], Nebby was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Cosmoem}}.

Another Cosmog appears in [[PASM18]], where it was used by [[Guzma]] to open up many [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and summon multiple [[Ultra Beast]]s to [[Alola]].

A Necrozma appeared from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. It grabbed {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{adv|Sun}} and dragged them inside.

==Trivia==
* All three members share a battle theme; however, Necrozma has two additional battle themes, one theme for Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, and one for Ultra Necrozma.
* All three members have a [[signature Ability]] ({{a|Prism Armor}} in Necrozma's case) which ignores {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}}, and {{a|Teravolt}}.
* All three members have a [[signature move]] ({{m|Photon Geyser}} in Necrozma's case) which ignores the target's Ability; however, these moves do not ignore Lunala's {{a|Shadow Shield}} or Necrozma's Prism Armor.
* Necrozma is the only member of the trio that:
** has its own exclusive Z-Move and [[Z-Crystal]] which it does not share with either of the other two.
** has no pre-evolution.
** has two signature abilities.
** has multiple signature moves.
** has a [[base stat]] that is not a {{wp|prime number}} (Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma's {{stat|Speed}} stats).
** learns a move at a level that is neither 1 nor a prime number (Photon Geyser at level 50).
* The Light trio is the only Legendary trio to have an evolution line for any member of the trio.

==Separate Mini-Sections==
I was thinking that if it should come to it ''Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution'' can have the entries split up into two separate mini-sections: ''Introduced in X and Y'' and ''Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire''. However I would like to wait first until more information comes out first before doing such as thing. If the new Mega Pokémon are confirmed to be incompatible with X and Y then I would definitely support this idea. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 17:01, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

== Lati@sites tradeable to XY? ==

Does the game let you trade the Lati@sites over to XY? If so should a little note be added mentioning that these mega-stones are in the code for XY despite not being made available till ORAS? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 01:54, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

== PokéGods? ==

Is it plausible to assume that some ideas for Mega Evolution might have been inspired by the infamous [[PokéGods]] that were popular in the fandom back in the 1990s and early 2000s? If so, this should be added as trivia. A good source on PokéGods is the RAGECANDYBAR project site ([http://www.blue-reflections.net/ragecandybar/projects/pokegods/ link]). [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 17:26, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

:No, I don't think so. While the possibility that Game Freak could have possibly been inspired by such rumors may exist, there's zero reason to ASSUME that they were inspired by them, especially since to my knowledge Game Freak has never acknowledged those rumors before. —[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:15, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

== I would like to know something... ==

Before I put something like this in the trivia: "Before the introduction of {{p|Lopunny}}'s Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Meloetta}} in its' [[Pirouette Forme]] was the only Pokémon with a [[unique type combination]] of Normal/Fighting.", does anyone who's reading this it's wise to do so? Oh, and Merry Christmas, Bulbapedia! [[User:IM-T-MAN2|IM-T-MAN2]] ([[User talk:IM-T-MAN2|talk]]) 03:55, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:No. "Used to be" trivias aren't really notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:05, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
::^I'd replace "really" with "generally" in the above, as there are always exceptions. But in this case, something this narrow/complex would be a bit out-of-place on an article that talks about all of Mega Evolution in general. In addition, it's not exactly unique as there are at least three other Pokémon that had unique type combinations in Gen V but lost them in Gen VI, being Reshiram (Mega Charizard X), Zekrom (Mega Ampharos), and Numel/Camerupt (Primal Groudon). Thanks for asking! [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 04:12, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Thank you, Force Fire. [[User:IM-T-MAN2|IM-T-MAN2]] ([[User talk:IM-T-MAN2|talk]]) 04:09, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

== Two Things ==

I may be blind, but it looks like it needs to be mentioned how the Mega Evolutions introduces in ORAS are not compatible with XY. However, Latios and Latias are. I'm not really sure the best way to word that so if someone could figured out a way to incorporate that it would be awesome. If I'm blind than I apologize for bringing this up.

Also, this was briefly talked about prior to ORAS release, but should the list of Mega Evolutions be changed a little? Right now it's two lists, the XY ones, and the ORAS ones. However, someone mentioned that we could put all of them in one list and add another column indicating the game they were released in. Thoughts? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
:I don't think you're blind, but I think I'm not going to try to fix it (anytime soon).
:I really don't think we "need" to combine the tables, but I can conceive that there may be a benefit to it that doesn't jump out at me right now. Maybe... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:45, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:Yes, and? Mewtwo Strikes Back is a Gen I movie and features over three Gen II Pokemon. Pokemon Heroes is a Gen II movie that features two Gen III Pokemon. And so on and so on. The anime constantly promotes future generations in their movies. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:25, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

== In the TCG ==

In the TCG, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre have the same traits as all other Mega evolutions and so shouldn't they be considering a Mega Evolution in the TCG? [[User:Pokemaniac1337|Pokemaniac1337]] ([[User talk:Pokemaniac1337|talk]]) 15:14, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

== Pokédex Entries From The Sites ==

I think that since the X & Y and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire sites both included descriptions of the abilities of the Mega Evolutions to their summaries, we should consider adding them. Here's an example of what it would look like. I think it would help round out the page a bit.

:If they will be added anywhere, it should probably be somewhere on [Venusaur/Rayquaza/etc]'s own page. As it stands, there's not an obvious place they should go there, but the above is not the most attractive option. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 09:19, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
::Well, they already are on all of the main Pokémon's pages, but I agree, there's not a uniformed, obvious place where each description should go on their pages, which is maybe why it would be better to put them on this page.

:::Pieces of text that are longer vertically than they are wide are not appealing to read. And at my window width, that's what it is. And even if your screen is really wide, there's not really any sort of need to "fill out" the table... They don't even really fit in the table either IMO; they're just flavor text, whereas everything else in the table is basically useful.
:::The only thing that really matters to me in the end, though, is those descriptions are basically Pokedex entries, so they belong more or less alongside other Pokedex entries (if anywhere), not here. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:54, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

== Primals ==

I don't know if this has been mentioned before (please forgive me if it has) but could we combine the Primal & Mega Evolution pages? I just think it would be simpler because 1. Mega Rayquaza is a counterpart to Primal Groudon/Kyogre, 2. Both evolutions need a specific item to activate, and none of those items have additional effects, and 3. Because Groudon and Kyogre have Primals, it's EXTREMELY unlikely that they'll get a Mega Evolution. Although now that I think about it, that goes for Keldeo, Meloetta, and Deoxys to some extent as well... Anyway, what do you think? Thanks, [[User:AmoongussForLife|AmoongussForLife]] ([[User talk:AmoongussForLife|talk]]) 22:56, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

== Gen IV ==

A system remotely similar to mega evolution introduced in gen IV when magmortar, electivire, magnetzone, dusknoir, gallade, and rhyperior (I might have missed some). It involves trading certain Pokémon whilst they are holding a certain item. However, unlike mega evolution, this change is permanent.{{unsigned|QwertyJacob750}}

== TCG Card List ==
I don't know how or why this is happening, I checked the coding myself and what the coding says should be happening isn't what is actually happening. The coding for the TCG Card List is where it should be, in the [[Mega Evolution#TCG|TCG]] section. But on the article page, the TCG Card List is actually appearing in the [[Mega Evolution#In Other Languages|In Other Languages]] section. Thought this would be something to be looking into by someone far more experienced than me in coding.

Primal Reversion

'''Primal Reversion''' (Japanese: '''ゲンシカイキ''' ''Primal Regression'') is an ancient transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that debuted in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Pokémon that have undergone Primal Reversion are distinguished by the word "Primal" in front of their species name. Primal Reversion is said to restore a Pokémon's true powers as the Pokémon absorbs the energy of nature to greatly increase its power.

==Gameplay==
===In battle===
In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|orb]]. Like Mega Stones, orbs cannot be removed during battle if held by the appropriate Pokémon. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], however, the player does not need a [[Key Stone]] or have to manually trigger Primal Reversion; it will simply happen automatically after the Pokémon enters battle and after any [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] take effect, but before the activation of [[weather]]-changing {{Abilities}}.

In a [[Rotation Battle]], the Pokémon will only undergo Primal Reversion if it is sent out in the primary position; the Primal Reversion will not activate if the Pokémon is sent out in a secondary position at the start of the battle and then rotated to the primary position. Also, unlike Mega Evolution and [[Ultra Burst]], there is no limit to the number of times a Primal Reversion may be performed per battle.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Primal Groudon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Primal Kyogre anime.png|thumb|220px|Primal Kyogre in the anime]]
Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre both appeared in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where they had a clash with one another off the coast of [[Rustboro City]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} attempted to fight the ancient Pokémon with their [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X and Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but they were soon overpowered. Soon after, {{me|Rayquaza}} appeared, battled, and eventually managed to defeat the two Primal Pokémon, causing them to return to their regular forms.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were summoned and controlled by {{an|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} along with the [[creation trio]] and {{p|Kyurem}} to attack {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Hoopa Confined, {{Shiny}} Rayquaza, and the [[Eon duo]] in [[Dahara City]].

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Primal Groudon PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Primal Groudon in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Primal Kyogre PG.png|thumb|220px|Primal Kyogre in Pokémon Generations]]
Primal Groudon appeared in {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}'s vision in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''. She imagined it attacking [[Maxie]], [[Tabitha]], and the rest of [[Team Magma]], but this did not deter her from her Team's plans for long.

Primal Kyogre appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]''. Despite [[Shelly]]'s insistence not to, Archie awakened it in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. It proceeded to cause destruction across [[Hoenn]], and eventually prepared to attack Archie and Shelly.

===In the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===

[[File:Primal Kyogre Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Primal Kyogre in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] used the Red and Blue Orbs to transform {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}} into their Primal forms in order to help save the {{pkmn|world}} from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] headed for the planet. After some training at the [[Meteor Falls]], both Primal Pokémon managed to master their special moves; {{m|Precipice Blades}} and {{m|Origin Pulse}}, respectively. However, both ancient Pokémon, even when assisted by {{p|Rayquaza}}, completely exhausted themselves while destroying a large piece of the meteoroid falling before the main body, causing them to revert to their regular forms.

[[File:PrimalKyogreEXPrimalClash55.jpg|200px|thumb|Primal Kyogre-EX]]
Primal Reversion were brought into the Trading Card Game with the release of {{TCG|Primal Clash}} ({{TCG|Gaia Volcano}} • {{TCG|Tidal Storm}} in Japan). Primal Reversion is an extension of the {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Pokémon-EX}} mechanic, evolving from the long-standing Pokémon-EX. The only Primal Pokémon-EX are the {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Kyogre-EX|55}} and {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Groudon-EX|86}} cards from Primal Clash and {{TCG|Ancient Origins}}. Although not exclusive to the mechanic, each Primal Reversion Pokémon features a new card effect named ''Ancient Trait'', providing an additional effect for each card. The Ancient Origins prints feature the [[shiny Pokémon|shiny]] versions of the Pokémon, and replaces the original Ancient Traits with θ Max, but are otherwise identical to the Primal Clash cards.

Johans: /* Later non-Pokémon work */ Inaccuracy when comprehending both titles

'''Game Freak, Inc.''' (Japanese: '''株式会社ゲームフリーク''' ''{{wp|Kabushiki gaisha}} Game Freak''), officially stylised as '''GAME FREAK inc.''' or less commonly as '''GAMEFREAK inc.''', is a Japanese game development company founded on April 26, 1989 by [[Satoshi Tajiri]], [[Ken Sugimori]], and [[Junichi Masuda]], and the main company responsible for the [[Pokémon]] games, most especially the [[core series]].

Originally independent, since the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} in 1996, Game Freak has been a {{wp|Video game developer#Second-party developer|second-party developer}} for [[Nintendo]], developing games almost exclusively for their hardware while remaining a separate company. The company currently employs a staff of 143 as of April 2018,<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/company/about.html 会社概要 | GAME FREAK 株式会社ゲームフリークオフィシャルサイト]</ref> while Satoshi Tajiri serves as its current CEO. Its headquarters are on the 22nd floor of the {{wp|Carrot Tower}} in {{wp|Setagaya, Tokyo}}, {{wp|Japan}}.

==History==
===Early history===
[[File:GameFreakCover1.jpg|thumb|left|Covers for volumes 4, 5, 7, and 8 of Game Freak magazine]]
[[File:GameFreakCovers2.jpg|thumb|Covers for volumes 13, 14, and 16 of Game Freak magazine]]
Game Freak, at the time unincorporated, originated as a video game magazine in the early 1980s. Run chiefly by Tajiri, with art made by Sugimori, the magazines typically were released at a length of around 28 pages and at a price of ¥300 (roughly US$3). Initially, the magazine was handwritten, but Tajiri later outsourced this to a professional printing company.

In 1989, Tajiri published his first video game, Quinty, which was localized as {{wp|Mendel Palace}} for its North American release. In the same year, Game Freak was officially incorporated, and began work on several video games for the two largest players in the industry at the time, Nintendo and {{wp|Sega}}. Among these games were licensed titles such as {{smw|Yoshi (game)|Yoshi}} and {{smw|Mario & Wario}}, as well as original games such as {{wp|Pulseman}} and {{wp|Smart Ball}}.

===Pokémon===
Though the idea for what would become the Pokémon games had existed in Tajiri's mind for a while, actual development of the Pokémon idea began as [[Capsule Monsters]] in 1990. Tajiri pitched this idea to Nintendo; however, it was rejected, and issues copyrighting the name led Tajiri to change it, first shortening it to CapuMon, then changing it to Pocket Monsters. With further revision of the idea, Tajiri pitched it again to Nintendo, and with the confidence of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] swaying the decision, development was finally greenlighted.

Though the franchise is currently the second-most successful game franchise in the world (placing shortly behind {{smw|Mario (series)|Mario}}), development of {{game|Red and Green|s}} was incredibly difficult for the team at Game Freak, with the six-year development period and low finances of the company causing many of the staff to leave for other employment. Tajiri himself worked long hours, many of them unpaid, in order to bring Pokémon out, finally releasing them on February 27, 1996. An international success overnight, Game Freak became recognized as one of the best game developers Nintendo had working for them, leading to their second-party status.

Since Red and Green, Game Freak has developed all core series games; other games, including the battle arena games and [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] RPGs {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, have been developed by other Nintendo affiliates and subsidiaries. The [[Game Boy Camera]], more of an add-on to the Game Boy than a game itself, had its image editing software developed by Game Freak as well.

===Later non-Pokémon work===
[[File:HarmoKnight.png|thumb|[[HarmoKnight]], one of Game Freak's recent non-Pokémon titles]]
Though Game Freak has mainly developed the Pokémon series since its 1996 debut, it is responsible for five games released since then that were not Pokémon-related. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDqSZub7Dag Click Medic], a Japan-only medical simulation game for the {{wp|PlayStation}}, plays similarly to Pokémon, though instead of monsters, features a doctor using various vaccines and antibodies to fight against viruses and other maladies inside of a patient's body.

Another game, {{wp|Drill Dozer}}, was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in the interim between the release of {{game|Emerald}} and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, featuring a young girl who operates a drilling machine in order to take down enemies in each of the worlds.

Game Freak's most recent non-Pokémon titles are [[HarmoKnight]] (a rhythm-based action game which also features music from the Pokémon games) and Pocket Card Jockey (a game that mixes {{wp|Patience (game)|solitaire}} and horse racing), which were respectively released for the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] in Japan on 2012 and 2013 via the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. In other regions, HarmoKnight was released in 2013 and Pocket Card Jockey in 2016 on the Nintendo eShop. Pocket Card Jockey was later ported to {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}} and {{wp|iOS}} in Japan, making it the first Game Freak game to be released on a non-Nintendo system since Click Medic.

In March 2015, Game Freak announced {{wp|Tembo the Badass Elephant}}, to be published by {{wp|Sega}} for {{wp|PlayStation 4}}, {{wp|Xbox One}}, and {{wp|Microsoft Windows}}. It is the first title by Game Freak not released on a Nintendo system since Click Medic. It features the titular elephant fighting against an evil invading army.

==Philosophy==
Game Freak's philosophy, as stated on their website, is "To give the people of the world enjoyment, fun and discovery by continuously creating games of superior quality. And to encourage bravery, hope, kindness, dreams and an adventurous spirit." This philosophy is easily seen in the Pokémon games, where the player must fight bravely against the various [[villainous teams]], journeying across their region with their Pokémon by their side.

==Key people==
* [[Satoshi Tajiri]] (田尻　智), founder, CEO, chairman of the board
* [[Ken Sugimori]] (杉森　建), board member, art director
* [[Jun'ichi Masuda]] (増田順一), board member, head of development
* [[Takenori Ōta]] (太田健程)
* [[Shigeki Morimoto]] (森本茂樹)
* [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] (藤原基史)
* [[Kōji Nishino]] (西野弘二)

==In the games==
Game Freak employees appear in each of the core series games. The main reason to visit them is to obtain a [[diploma]], awarded after the completion of the [[Pokédex]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the sound designer gives the [[GB Sounds]] after the player has obtained all 8 Kanto Badges.

Their headquarters are located on the third floor of the [[Celadon Condominiums]]. They have their own office on 22F of a building in [[Castelia City]], just like in their [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Real-world locations mentioned|real-world]] office in {{wp|Carrot Tower}}. They also have an office on the second floor of a building in [[Heahea City]]. In [[Hoenn]], a group of Game Freak employees are on vacation, staying in [[Lilycove City]]'s [[Cove Lily Motel]]; in [[Sinnoh]], a single member is staying at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]]; in [[Kalos]], the game director can be found staying at the [[Coumarine City#Hotel Coumarine|Hotel Coumarine]] in [[Coumarine City]].

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the player can battle a character representing [[Shigeki Morimoto]] in the office after stopping [[Team Plasma]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, they can also battle [[Kōji Nishino]], who uses a {{p|Snorlax}} as his highest leveled Pokémon, a reference to his nickname カビゴン ''Kabigon'', after which Snorlax is named (in the English versions, he calls himself Snorlax). Both Morimoto and Nishino have the Trainer class {{tc|GAME FREAK}}. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player can battle Morimoto in the Game Freak office, who will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] the first time he is defeated.

This philosophy is easily seen in the Pokémon games, where the player must fight bravely against the various [[villainous teams]], journeying across their region with their Pokémon by their side.

==Key people==
* [[Satoshi Tajiri]] (田尻　智), founder, CEO, chairman of the board
* [[Ken Sugimori]] (杉森　建), board member, art director
* [[Jun'ichi Masuda]] (増田順一), board member, head of development
* [[Takenori Ōta]] (太田健程)
* [[Shigeki Morimoto]] (森本茂樹)
* [[Motofumi Fujiwara]] (藤原基史)
* [[Kōji Nishino]] (西野弘二)

==In the games==
Game Freak employees appear in each of the core series games. The main reason to visit them is to obtain a [[diploma]], awarded after the completion of the [[Pokédex]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the sound designer gives the [[GB Sounds]] after the player has obtained all 8 Kanto Badges.

Their headquarters are located on the third floor of the [[Celadon Condominiums]]. They have their own office on 22F of a building in [[Castelia City]], just like in their [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Real-world locations mentioned|real-world]] office in {{wp|Carrot Tower}}. They also have an office on the second floor of a building in [[Heahea City]]. In [[Hoenn]], a group of Game Freak employees are on vacation, staying in [[Lilycove City]]'s [[Cove Lily Motel]]; in [[Sinnoh]], a single member is staying at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]]; in [[Kalos]], the game director can be found staying at the [[Coumarine City#Hotel Coumarine|Hotel Coumarine]] in [[Coumarine City]].

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the player can battle a character representing [[Shigeki Morimoto]] in the office after stopping [[Team Plasma]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, they can also battle [[Kōji Nishino]], who uses a {{p|Snorlax}} as his highest leveled Pokémon, a reference to his nickname カビゴン ''Kabigon'', after which Snorlax is named (in the English versions, he calls himself Snorlax). Both Morimoto and Nishino have the Trainer class {{tc|GAME FREAK}}. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player can battle Morimoto in the Game Freak office, who will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] the first time he is defeated.

Mega Evolution

2018-05-05T03:17:10Z

Johans: /* Pokkén Tournament */

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. Mega-Evolved Pokémon are identified by having "Mega" in front of their name.

There are 46 species of Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolution, and there are 48 different Mega Evolutions.

==History==
[[Korrina]], the Gym Leader of [[Shalour City]], is said to know secrets about Mega Evolution. The [[Tower of Mastery]] is also related to Mega Evolution. According to a [[Kalos]] legend, the first Pokémon to have been Mega Evolved was a {{p|Lucario}}. However, according to [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Zinnia's grandmother]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Rayquaza}} was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve; Mega Evolution was first discovered by the first meeting of humanity and Rayquaza. [[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that Mega Evolution can only be achieved if there is a strong bond between a Trainer and its Pokémon.

==Mega Evolving==
[[File:Tretta Mega Evolution icon.png|thumb|150px|The Mega Evolution sigil, as seen in {{g|Tretta}}]]
In order to Mega Evolve, most Pokémon must be holding their appropriate [[Mega Stone]] and the Trainer must have a [[Key Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

===In battle===
In any battle, each Trainer may Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal move, but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert back to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as paralysis, sleep, and infatuation will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to move that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. If they would move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, the moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. The move {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, and Knock Off's power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in Speed at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order. A Pokémon with a lower Speed than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon who lose Speed from Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base Defense stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before.

Likewise, even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the player activating the Mega Evolution with his or her Mega Bracelet. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority.

{{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it holds a [[Z-Crystal]].

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a Contest Spectacular]]
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when summoned by the {{key|VI|Eon Flute}}, {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is no longer in the player's game.
{{left clear}}

==Effects==
A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega Alakazam in Generation VI) has a base stat total 100 points higher than that of its base form.

[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
{{SSB|Charizard}}'s, {{SSB|Lucario}}'s, and {{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s [[Final Smash]]es Mega Evolve them into Mega Charizard X, Mega Lucario, and Mega Mewtwo Y, respectively. While Lucario and Charizard's Mega Evolutions are used as a temporary power-up, Mewtwo's is used to perform {{m|Psystrike}}.

The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Mewtwo}} (both forms), and {{p|Charizard}} (X form) appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, while only Mega Venusaur and Blastoise appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

|}{{left clear}}

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Sceptile}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number#Mega Evolution|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number → Mega Evolution}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[Meteorite]]), typically either by defeating its Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle at the end of each {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Stages|Main Stage Area}} or as a prize for completing a [[Competitive Stage]] or reaching a certain point in an [[Escalation Battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved or matching Pokémon with the Mega Boost(+) [[Skill]]s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The [[Mega Effects]] for each Mega form vary between Pokémon, replacing the Pokémon's Skill for the remainder of the battle.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]===
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. The Pokémon that Mega Evolves will have their form when moving to the next floor. Should it be given to Mewtwo or Charizard, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly. A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. Once filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into Berserk mode. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its regular attack will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Furthermore, murals can be solved one tile at a time to display {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s Primal Reversions.

Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

==In the TCG==
Mega Evolution is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. They were added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion as an evolution of Pokémon-EX cards. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn.

{{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}} tend to have much higher HP and more powerful attacks than regular {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}. Currently, all of them have exactly one attack. Uniquely, the artwork of {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}} feature their attack's name printed in a stylized design on the card as part of the artwork itself. This name is displayed in Japanese, except for Japanese and Korean cards where the name is displayed in English. (Some special Japanese UR variant cards keep the name printed in Japanese instead of English.)

Like all {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}}, a player who defeats a {{Mega}}{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Pokémon}}{{EX}} takes two Prize Cards instead of one.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaziken Mask Mega Blaziken.png|250px|thumb|Mega Blaziken in the anime]]

===In the main series===
Multiple Mega Evolutions have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

* The first Mega Evolution in the anime was featured in ''[[SS026|Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|Best Wishes series}} was shown being capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y form, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the games, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]].

* Another Mega Evolution was featured in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.

* A Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X, appeared as silhouettes in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' while [[Professor Sycamore]] told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.

* In ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.

* All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned [[side story episode|special episode]].

* [[Diantha]]'s Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} first appeared in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', using its Mega Evolution powers to break free from {{TRT}}'s binds.

* Korrina has a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} that can Mega Evolve, and so does her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], as shown in ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]''. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', it was shown in a flashback how one of Gurkinn's ancestors discovered a Key Stone, while his Lucario discovered a Lucarionite, leading to the first known Mega Evolution.

* In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', Korrina told Ash and his friends about a Trainer she had once met who had used a Mega Ampharos.

* A Trainer named [[Mabel]] and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} appeared in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]''.

* {{an|Diancie}} Mega Evolved in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' in order to protect the [[Allearth Forest]] from {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restore the [[Diamond Domain]] by creating a new Heart Diamond. At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.

* During the intro of ''Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction'', [[Wikstrom]] is seen Mega Evolving his {{p|Scizor}} in a battle against Diantha and her Mega Gardevoir.

* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. Both reappeared in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.

* The intro of the aforementioned special episode also featured all [[#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly revealed Mega Evolutions]].

* At the end of ''Mega Evolution Special III'', Alain was seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}.

* [[Professor Sycamore]]'s Garchomp achieved Mega Evolution for the first time and Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

* The {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that {{an|Hoopa}} summoned in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' all Mega Evolved during the movie. Much like the Mewtwo from [[M16|the sixteenth movie]], they seemed to be able to Mega Evolve despite the lack of a Key Stone or their respective Mega Stones.

* In ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Alain battled ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon and their Trainers in a row, including Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Alakazam}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, Mega Scizor, Mega Ampharos, Mega {{p|Aggron}}, and Mega {{p|Pinsir}}. The final Trainer of the row was the [[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]], who used a Mega {{p|Houndoom}}. At the end of the episode, Alain was also seen battling a Trainer with a Mega {{p|Banette}}.

* A Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].

* In ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', [[Wulfric]] Mega Evolved his {{p|Abomasnow}} into Mega Abomasnow to fight against [[Ash's Greninja]] during their [[Gym]] battle.

* A Mega Alakazam, Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Shiny Mega {{p|Gengar}}, Shiny Mega Gardevoir, and several other Mega-Evolved Pokémon appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. With the exception of [[Kimia]]'s Shiny Mega Gardevoir, they were forcibly Mega Evolved by a special device known as Mega Wave, which was being used by [[Alva]] and his minions [[Levi]] and [[Cherie]]. A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.

* A Mega {{TP|Trevor|Charizard}} Y owned by {{an|Trevor}} appeared in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' during his [[Lumiose Conference]] battle against Alain.

* A Mega {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}} owned by [[Sawyer]] appeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'' during his quarter-final battle in [[Lumiose Conference]] against {{an|Tierno}}.

* [[Lysandre]]'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Gyarados}} debuted in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', in which it battled against {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} and Alain's Charizard. It managed to knock out four of Ash's Pokémon, but was finally defeated in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]''.

* A Mega Gyarados appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where {{an|Lana}} joked about being able to catch one at [[Brooklet Hill]].

* [[Brock's Steelix]] and [[Misty's Gyarados]] Mega Evolve into Mega {{p|Steelix}} and Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', while battling [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], respectively.

[[File:Red Mega Charizard X PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in Pokémon Origins]]
[[File:Mega Rayquaza PG.png|thumb|250px|Mega Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]

===In Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}}'s {{TP|Red|Charizard}} was shown Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'' during Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, thanks to the Charizardite X and Key Stone given to him by [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[PO02|an earlier episode]].

===In Pokémon Generations===
A Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', under the ownership of [[Player character|a Trainer]], in which it destroyed [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Afterwards, it battled {{p|Deoxys}}.

===In the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
All of the Mega Evolutions debuting in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} were showcased in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]].

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
[[File:Akira Mega Charizard X LDK.png|150px|thumb|left|Mega Charizard X in The Legend of the Dragon King manga]]

===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
In [[Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Mega Evolution was first presented in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga in the {{chap|X & Y}}. At first, it was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his [[Key Stone|Successor]]s. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stones]] that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, three Successors demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. It helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. It was later given it to X, at which point he nicknamed it Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve it into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's Rute and Y's Solsol are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with [[Blaine]], {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, the role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PAORAS01|Omega Alpha Adventure 1]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PAORAS03|Omega Alpha Adventure 3]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective [[Chic|starter]] [[Emerald's Sceptile|Pokémon]].
*In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve Latios into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring|soar]] into the sky. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PAORAS06|Omega Alpha Adventure 6]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PAORAS07|Omega Alpha Adventure 7]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people|Draconids]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PAORAS08|Omega Alpha Adventure 8]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PAORAS11|Omega Alpha Adventure 11]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In ''[[PAORAS15|Omega Alpha Adventure 15]]'', footage of Rayquaza Mega Evolving was seen.
*In ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later in the Pokémon Contest Spectacular, Ruby is able to Mega Evolve {{p|Diancie}} for his and Sapphire's performance.

==Trivia==
* Every [[type]] has at least one Mega Evolution: {{t|Psychic}} has the most (with ten), while {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} have the fewest (with two each).
** Electric is the only type for which no new Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}} are the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution that are in the same evolutionary family.
* Only Pokémon which cannot evolve further are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Rayquaza}} is the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Diancie}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* With {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat totals of 780}}, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza have the highest base stat totals of any Pokémon.
** In addition, Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon at 194, and Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon at 190. Mega Mewtwo X also has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, its Attack stat being boosted by 80 upon the process.
* {{p|Aggron}} is the only dual-type Pokémon to become single-type upon Mega Evolving, going from {{2t|Steel|Rock}}-type to pure {{type|Steel}}.
* The only Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}, which each have two. In both cases, the first ones to be revealed were the Y versions.
** In addition, both of their Y Mega Evolutions kept their original type, while both of their X Mega Evolutions changed their type.
** Also, in both cases, the X Mega Evolution is more physically-oriented (with a higher Attack and/or Defense), while the Y Mega Evolution is more specially-oriented (with a higher Special Attack and/or Special Defense).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve in the core series games, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]] Rayquaza needs the player to get the Meteorite for it to Mega Evolve.
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into {{g|X and Y}}; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for [[Pokémon X and Y]] include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* In an interview with the Nintendo Dream magazine, [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in [[Pokémon X and Y]], but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was dropped]] due to him experiencing artist's block.
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense rare power has risen in Mewtwo''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.

'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is an {{wp|actor}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].

After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices the Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

Once at Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but retired from acting after injuring himself during the filming of a reckless action scene. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others. He later decided to return to acting following the downfall of Team Plasma's first incarnation, hoping to communicate the need for a bond between Pokémon and people with his films.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Brycen is no longer a Gym Leader in Unova, having retired to continue acting. However, he appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] as a participant along with other Gym Leaders. He also takes part in [[Pokéstar Studios]] movies as '''Brycen-Man''' (Japanese: '''ハチクマン''' ''Hachiku-man''), a villain in [[Brycen-Man Series]], and '''Mecha Cop''' (Japanese: '''メカポリス''' ''MechaPolice'') in [[Full Metal Cop Series]].

[[File:Brycen anime.png|thumb|220px|Brycen in the anime]]
[[File:Brycen Beartic Scene.png|thumb|220px|left|Brycen and his Beartic in a movie called "Enter the Beartic".]]
Brycen made his anime debut in ''[[BW078|Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!]]'' where he and his {{p|Beartic}} saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from a falling boulder. {{an|Cilan}} was the first to recognize him as a famous movie star who had the lead role in many movies up until he decided to quit acting during the filming of another movie. He explained that he had come to the mountains for training and started to find traps set up by [[Pokémon poacher|hunters]].

Ash was interested in Brycen's training and tried to copy him and Beartic with his {{AP|Krokorok}}, without any good results. During the break in his training he was asked why he decided to not act in movies anymore and he explained it was because of an accident that happened on set. Nobody was hurt but he felt that the accident wouldn't have happened if he was trained better.

Later Brycen stopped [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rizzo]]'s attempt to capture a {{p|Volcarona}} by defeating his two {{p|Jellicent}} with his {{p|Beartic}}. After [[Officer Jenny]] carted Rizzo off to jail, he found out that Ash was on his way to [[Icirrus City]] in order to battle the [[Gym Leader]]. It was then that he revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the [[Icirrus Gym]], surprising everyone.

Ash battled Brycen in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'' and won, earning him his seventh [[Unova]] Gym Badge.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

It was later used to stop poacher [[Rizzo]] and his two {{p|Jellicent}}, and save the Mountain Guardian, {{p|Volcarona}}.

Beartic reappeared in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', during Ash's Gym {{pkmn|battle}} with Brycen. It was the third and final Pokémon used by Brycen. It was able to easily defeat {{AP|Pignite}} despite the type disadvantage with its super-effective Brine and Aerial Ace attacks, leaving Ash with just {{AP|Krokorok}}. Beartic was repeatedly able to block Krokorok's attacks, until the Desert Croc Pokémon finally scored direct hits on it with {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Dig}}. After this, Krokorok grabbed two stones from his own Stone Edge, and collided with Beartic's Aerial Ace with the stones in his hands, defeating the Freezing Pokémon and earning Ash the {{badge|Freeze}}.

As shown in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Beartic has its own footprint at [[Pokéstar Studios]]'s Walk of Fame.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Skyla Brycen Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Brycen in Pokémon Adventures]]
Brycen was an action movie star that excelled in martial arts. After a serious accident, he resigned from acting and became a Gym Leader. Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, first appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders travel to [[Nacrene City]] to help [[Lenora]] face the [[Shadow Triad]] in order to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. With his powerful martial arts techniques, Brycen easily gained the upper hand over the thieves.

[[File:Brycen-Man Adventures.png|thumb|left|130px|Brycen as Brycen-Man in the eleventh chapter]]
Although it seemed like Brycen had defeated the Shadow Triad, he and the other Gym Leaders fall to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Forces of Nature]]. Soon, it was revealed that Brycen escaped, and followed {{adv|Black}} to where the Dark Stone was being kept, only for it to turn out to be a Team Plasma Grunt in disguise. Team Plasma managed to take the Dark Stone, but it was revealed that the real Brycen actually did escape by substituting himself with an ice sculpture. Brycen finds an unconscious Black in the Dark Stone holding area along with the other Dragon Stone, the Light Stone. Brycen decides to train Black and takes him away to Icirrus City. Afterward, he took Black to the [[Tubeline Bridge]], where he had the Trainer train his team to get stronger. After Black had finished several steps, he was taken to the Icirrus Gym for his final training—a Gym battle against Brycen. After Brycen is defeated, he hands over the Light Stone to Black.

At the Pokémon League, Brycen decides to search for clues on the kidnapped Gym Leaders. After remembering that they had no memories of the kidnapping, Brycen suspects that the Pokémon League competitor [[Hood Man]] may have something to do with it due to possessing {{p|Beheeyem}}, a Pokémon that can alter memories. To help with this investigation, Brycen enlists the help of {{adv|White}}. While White investigates the League, Brycen digs down to Team Plasma's castle, where he is confronted by five of the Seven Sages. He attempts to retaliate, only to stop once he finds out that [[Hawes]] is being used as a hostage. Brycen is approached by [[Ghetsis]], who attacks and knocks him unconscious. When Team Plasma attacks the League, Brycen is held up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders. Soon after, he is freed by [[Shoko]]'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.

Two years later in the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Brycen is revealed to have quit being a Gym Leader to go back to acting in Pokéstar Studios. In a Brycen-Man movie, he plays the titular character and faces off against {{adv|Whitley}}, who plays the role of {{p|Foongus}} Girl. Whitley easily wins, but the battle is interrupted by [[Big Monster Series|Mecha Tyranitar]], which someone had forgotten to turn off. The Mecha Tyranitar causes havoc until {{adv|Blake}}, playing the role of {{p|Dewott}} Kid, comes in and saves the day. Afterward, Brycen talks with Whitley and Blake's teacher, [[Cheren]]. Although Brycen remembers Cheren from his Badge quest, Cheren confesses that he doesn't have any memory of anything past his adventure with Black in the Cold Storage. Brycen notes that there's a vacant Gym Leader spot in Aspertia City and suggests that Cheren take it, much to Cheren's surprise.

Talk:Levitate (Ability)

2018-01-17T19:46:47Z

Johans: /* Sky Drop damaging Pokémon with Levitate */ new section

==Definition of Levitate in the Anime==
I'm bringing this up since Gengar has been seen "levitating" a few times, such as {{tt|[[Drake's Gengar]]|yes I know abilities didnt exist then}}, but only Fantina's Gengar is listed (I've not seen the episode with Lunatone, so I can't comment on that). So what is the definition we use? Actually stated as levitating (like Fantina's)? Levitating to avoid Ground-type moves (or any move)? Or, just levitating? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 22:07, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Status Ground moves ==

I'm sure the answer is the obvious one, but I still feel like it should be investigated.

Sand Attack does not affect levitating Pokemon, as stated in the article. What about other status Ground moves? Can Rototiller affect Carnivine? Can Mud Sport affect Rotom, Tynamo's line, and Vikavolt (or others who can learn Electric-type moves)? Using hacking (or some drawn out ability-switching and Sketching with a Smeargle), can a Pokemon with Levitate use Shore Up?

The main article already expresses that they are only immune to ''damaging'' Ground-type moves, but the trivia point states that the in-game description is only in error about Sand Attack. It would be nice if someone could test this just to be safe so that the trivia point can be worded more accurately. (Alternatively, I just need permission to make a logical assumption.) [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 22:40, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
:Oh, sorry, I just noticed that Rototiller is already mentioned. Mud Sport and Shore Up still need tested, though ^.^ [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 22:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
::I think many [[status move]]s are not affected by type immunities. (I'm probably gonna try to see what the default implementation is, and come back here. Same for self-targeting moves; I'm not even certain right now that they perform an accuracy check, even less a check for immunities.)
::More importantly, I'd like to probably make you aware of '''[[grounded]]'''; it's an article that lists common features of Levitaters, Flying types, and some others, and I don't think there's anything about Levitate specifically (other than it's an Ability and all). I've been trying to link to it recently, so that eventually we might even consider to remove all the fluff at articles like this, and just say "it becomes [[grounded|ungrounded]]" and link there. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:45, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I just checked Gen II, and it appears type immunities are only checked for damaging moves, or more specifically, if and only if STAB may be applied (not counting the check for freeze/burn/poison). Also, moves that target oneself apparently do not check for accuracy, but just suceeed. (Metronome and Sleep Talk call another move that may check, of course.) And according to [[status move]], all moves that target oneself, or allies, or the field are "—" anyway.
:::So, maybe a shoutout: Can anyone name a status move that checks for immunities (other than Thunder Wave, Mean Look etc. that are just consistent with type immunities to statuses)? Because if not, we should add that somewhere (and I mean somewhere that is not just [[Sand Attack (move)]]). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:22, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

== Sky Drop damaging Pokémon with Levitate ==

Had this battle in the Battle Agency, and Sky Drop did damage my Levitate Weezing. Not sure who tested and confirmed that Levitate provides damage immmunity (like the Flying type does), but it wouldn't surprise me that Sky Drop still has bugs. Might upload a video later.

The '''Iron Ball''' (Japanese: '''くろいてっきゅう''' ''Black Iron Ball'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It [[grounded|grounds]] the holder and lowers their {{stat|Speed}}.

==In the core series games==
===Price===

|}
|}

===Effect===
====Held item====
The Iron Ball halves the holder's {{stat|Speed}} and makes it [[grounded]]. Due to being grounded, it becomes susceptible to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{a|Arena Trap}}, the [[entry hazard]]s {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Sticky Web}}, and [[terrain]], even if it is {{type|Flying}}, has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, or under the effect of {{m|Telekinesis}} and {{m|Magnet Rise}}.

In Generation V, a Flying-type Pokémon holding an Iron Ball will receive neutral damage from Ground-type moves regardless of its secondary type.

Air Balloon

The '''Air Balloon''' (Japanese: '''ふうせん''' ''Balloon'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It makes the holder [[grounded|ungrounded]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head‎|items}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}}|N/A|{{PDollar}}100}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev7|SM}}|N/A|{{PDollar}}2,000}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
The Air Balloon makes the holder [[grounded|ungrounded]], which means that the holder is immune to damaging {{type|Ground}} moves and several related effects. If the holder or its {{m|substitute}} is hit by a damaging move, the Air Balloon is destroyed. A message is displayed when a Pokémon is sent into battle while holding an Air Balloon (if its effect is not negated).

The Air Balloon does not make the holder ungrounded while {{m|Gravity}} is in effect or if it is under the effect of {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Smack Down}} or {{m|Thousand Arrows}} (but this does not prevent it from bursting).

An Air Balloon will not burst while {{m|Magic Room}} is in effect, or if the holder has the Ability {{a|Klutz}} or is under the effect of {{m|Embargo}}. A burst Air Balloon cannot be recovered with {{m|Recycle}} or {{a|Pickup}}. The Air Balloon bursts before it can be stolen by {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, or {{a|Magician}}. Whether a Pokémon is affected by [[terrain]] is determined before the Air Balloon bursts, so terrain cannot prevent a Pokémon holding an Air Balloon from being afflicted by a [[status condition]] from the move that bursts the Air Balloon.

An Air Balloon bursting will trigger {{a|Unburden}} and {{a|Symbiosis}}.

===Description===
{{movedesc|items}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}}|When held by a Pokémon, the Pokémon will float in the air. When the holder is attacked, the item will burst.}}

Talk:Move variations/Archive 1

2017-03-06T18:21:18Z

Johans: /* Iron Tail And Dragon Rush? */

== Template? ==

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggested it but it was forgotten later on; and unfortunately, I don't know how to make templates. -([[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 02:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
:Template namespace. I'll whip one up. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe this is not the right place to suggest, but take a look at the template (Flamethrower as an example):
{| align="center" class="toccolours" cellspacing="2" style="border: 3px solid #88a; border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px;"
|-
! colspan="2" style="background: #ccf; border: border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px; padding: 2px 15px;" | [[Move variations|Variations]] of the move {{m|Flamethrower}}
|- style="font-size:90%;" align="center"

| {{mcolor|Flamethrower|{{fire color}}}} | {{mcolor|Ice Beam|{{ice color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Sludge Wave|{{poison color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Thunderbolt|{{electric color dark}}}}
|}
::Flamethrower mentioned twice, while there is no actual link to ''Variations of Flamethrower''. I believe it will be better this way:

{| align="center" class="toccolours" cellspacing="2" style="border: 3px solid #88a; border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px;"

|}
::--[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 11:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
:::I agree. It does make more sense that way. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:12, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== New Variation ==

There neeeds to be a Move Variation for the Following moves:
* {{m|Psybeam}}
* {{m|BubbleBeam}}
* {{m|Aurora Beam}}
* {{m|Sludge}}
* {{m|Spark}}
I have checked them all out and they each have:
* Power: 65
* Accuracy: 100%
* PP: 20
P.S. I don't know how to do this myself so really I'm asking for somebody to do this for me!
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be counted as they each have a different added effect, either a [[status ailment]] or a [[stat]] change. Somebody gie me their:view...[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe keep the status-changing ones together, and keep the stat-changing ones together, but keep them separate. That means {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Sludge}}, and {{m|Spark}} go together, and {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}} go together.
:And don't forget to use the {{template|m}} template for moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm not sure on how to create the move variation. I only realised they were similar... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Or" ==

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition. BTW, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunder}} don't belong in the tables they've been introduced in if following the original criterion. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I put those there. I'll have them removed. [[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 08:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

:LOL, now somebody else did the same with variations of Slash, Waterfall, and Shadow Ball :P --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seismic Toss and Night Shade? ==

Those belong on the list, right?
[[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Doesn't {{m|Night Shade}} do somewhere from 1 to 1.5x the level? I know {{m|Seismic Toss}} does the level. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
::No, Psywave does from 0.5 to 1.5x the level. But Night Shade always does damage equal to the level. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 23:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Still, they don't have the same amout of default total PPs. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::They're stretching it nowadays though. Hmm...{{m|Zap Cannon}} and {{m|DynamicPunch}}... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'm sure {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Cross Chop}} are variations. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Definitely ^_^ --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==Stub?==
Is it Still a stub?--[[User:Torchic-ken|Torchic-ken]] 2:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, there's a few missing bits. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 00:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue. Should I add it anyway? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] 01:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:Add only Mean Look and Block. That's what has been done in these cases to agree with the current definition of "move archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 08:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Counter and Mirror Coat? ==

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power". [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ 21:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:That works. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

== Softboiled and Milk Drink ==

Even though they're listed under variations of Recover.. they both can do something Recover can not -- heal other Pokémon's HP outside of battle. I think this deserves a mention. :P [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 18:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Contests? ==

I think it would be incredibly useful to have a version of this page for contests, since many of the moves do the exact same things.
Thoughts...? [[User:Maki|Maki]] 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. However it'd have to be set up differently. It'd be like... effect, cute moves, beauty moves, smart moves, tough moves, cool moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Blizzard ==

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition. Magma Storm seems most like Outrage, though that goes 2-3 turns, and Focus Blast is just... its own thing. Not ''every'' move has a counterpart, that's what people need to remember. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's what I mean, a lot of the moves I mentioned, as well as Hydro Pump, Seed Flare and Fire Blast are all ''similar'', but variations of each other? I'd say they're similar moves, but not direct variations. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power. Focus Blast and Blizzard are not because all they share is accuracy and power. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::::So, should we move some of the moves I mentioned around? That's what I've been suggesting. I think Magma Storm should be grouped with Outrage and Thrash, and Blizzard, Thunder and Gunk Shot should be in a group. Maybe Seed Flare and Focus Blast too, their effects are identical except for accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 00:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

==Order==
Why aren't they in alphabetical order? {{u|MathijsP}}
:Beats me. Last time I organized them I put them in order by damage. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

==Dragon Claw, X-Scissor, Seed Bomb==

Aren't these all variations? They all do 80 damage, have 15 PP, and no added effect. Can I add them? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:You forget to mention the accuracy, but it happens that it's the same! So yeah, they're move variations. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Great. I guess I'll add them now. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think I know how to do the template. Can someone else do that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I got them. :) --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 21:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

==Ice Beam?==

Ice Beam has only 10 PP, yet it's claimed to be a variation of Flamethrower and Thunderbolt, which have 15 PP. Can I remove that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 21:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:Ice Beam is the most useful of all three, but is still the same. Same power, accuracy and rate to inflict a status problem. Part of Ice Beam may be the fact frozen Pokémon are helpless. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 21:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::Ice Beam is one of the more visible move variations in normal gameplay. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 21:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah. I see. OK. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 00:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Air Slash? ==

I wonder if, shouldnt Air Slash be in the "variations of Slash" since it IS a Slash move after all? o: what do you people think? I havn't really looked up the PP, accuracy and power, but its very similar to Night Slash and Slash. :c--[[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 17:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

:Slash and Night Slash have high critical-hit ratios, Air Slash may cause the opponent to flinch. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, ok thanks. --[[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 18:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

== Pound <-> Gust? ==

Gust isn't a variation of Pound, is it? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 00:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
:Yes it is. 35 PP, 40 power, 100% accuracy–yup, variation. --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 23:10, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== Arm Thrust ==

I read that the accuracy of Arm Thrust was 100 percent, but it was under the variations of Barrage, saying that its accuracy was 85 percent. Is its accuracy 85 or 100, cuz I don't wanna do an edit with wrong info.---[[User:Hitmonchan90|Hitmonchan90]] 23:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

==Bulk Up and Calm Mind?==

They both have 20 PP, and raise Attack and Defense/Special Attack and Special Defense one stage, respectively. Variants? All signs point to yes. [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]
:Yep, variations. Added. --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 21:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Reorganised ==

Since the moves were looking kinda messy, since the order was somewhat random, I went and moved the sections around to order it A-Z. Exceptions being Elemental X and the OHKO moves as they are listed differently. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 17:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I believe the order was by Base Power of the attacks. [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 13:29, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Sections for both {{m|Tail Glow}} AND {{m|Agility}}? ==

I've noticed that there are two sections that both share similar attributes, both sections detail moves that have 20 PP but increase a stat two stages, however, One details just Special attack raisers while the other details the other ones.

Should there be two or should they be put together? [[User:PDL|PDL]] 00:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:I was thinking the same thing, but then I found out that all the listed variations of Agility (including Agility itself) have ''30'' PP, and that Tail Glow and {{m|Nasty Plot}} have ''20'' PP. --[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 00:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thief and Covet will never be counted as variations if taking PP into account. --[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 15:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
:And that's the sad thing, they're pretty much the same kind of item-stealing damaging move. PP is a moot point! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 00:22, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation. For example, {{m|Surf}} is one of the {{m|Flamethrower}} variations, because it has the same power, PP, and accuracy. The only thing different is the effect. [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?" I think the process was more like, "Hey, why not have this as a mechanic?" --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations. In my mind, examples of move variations are moves that have some unique game mechanic, such as {{m|Wrap|multi-turn}} {{m|Magma Storm|trapping}} {{m|Sand Tomb|moves}}, {{m|Fly|moves with}} {{m|Dig|an initial}} {{m|Shadow Force|invulnerable}} {{m|Dive|turn}}, {{m|Block|moves that}} {{m|Spider Web|prevent}} {{m|Mean Look|escape}}, or {{m|Protect|moves that can negate}} {{m|Detect|all negative effects}}—Moves that work so similarly that there are, for example, abilities that negate the set of them or moves that counter-act a set of them. These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.

:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.gif]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.gif]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.gif]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user. That makes them variations according to your definition, but they have nothing in common according to the definition already defined on this page.

::Okay, I made a change that in hindsight I'm unsure of. In Gen 3, Leaf Blade fit the requirements to be considered a variation of Slash - 70 power, 15 pp, 100% accuracy, high chance for critical.

:::Yeah, no. The Barrage variations all have the same power and accuracy, Arm Thrust only has the same power.

Dark Pulse has more accuracy than Zen Headbutt. Bind, Wrap, and Fire Spin all have differnt accuracies. There's more to this page than just "Oh, it looks similar or has similar accuracy/PP/Power/type!" There's reasons that most of these aren't on there. The ones that don't seem like they fit are included because they either were the same, or are now the same. And Leaf Blade doesn't count, because it's already in a category that's more specific.

:I went through the list, here's some examples of the above:
::Blizzard's requirements are "5 or 10 PP", because otherwise Thunder wouldn't qualify. Also, Focus Blast doesn't qualify because it doesn't cause a status ailment
::Zap Cannon is listed as a variation of Dynamic Punch, but it has different power.
::Seed Flare is listed as a variation of Fire Blast, but it doesn't cause a status ailment.
::Surf is listed as a variation of Flamethrower but doesn't cause a status, and it says so right on the page

I am paying attention to what you're saying. Now pay attention to what I'm saying. Focus Blast does not cause a status ailment as the other variations do, and Seed Flare doesn't either.

And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash.

== PP ==

In the article it says that moves need to have the same PP to be variations, but throughout the article it lists moves of differing PP as variations. Should they be removed? [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 17:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

== Definition ==

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other. So I'm thinking maybe the article needs a different definition for status moves? [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 17:33, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels. It makes more sense because that way moves like Iron Defense will be a variant of Acid Armor, instead of the current description which makes Baton Pass a variant of Acid Armor.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== PP shouldn't be taken into account ==

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still. My point is, PP shouldn't be taken into account. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

== Order of Oath Moves Doesn't Matter ==

Hasn't it been confirmed that the Oath moves can be used in any order to produce the same effect? Each individual page should be updated accordingly.

== Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? ==

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

:Looks and damage category don't matter, but with such all over the place effects, I agree. The wide range of chances mean that they are similar, but not variations as far as I'm concerned.

(I discussed this with several admins about a year ago, and viewpoints ranged from them needing to be identical PP, to PP not mattering.

== PP variation in both directions ==

After some debate about whether or not PP should matter, it was agreed upon that it wouldn't as long as it was within 5. This created a problem in Generation VI with variations of {{m|Strength}}. Strength has 15 PP, some of its variations have 20 PP, but {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} has 10 yet is similar enough in every other way to be rightly included. It only differs from the "base" move by 5; however it is in a different direction than the other variations. Excluding Dazzling Gleam would be as absurd as adding it but excluding {{m|Power Gem}} and {{m|Drill Peck}}. For this reason, I've added it, and strongly feel it should stay. (This issue may arise with other moves I haven't looked at yet, in which case I'll do the same thing). Some may point out that Dazzling Gleam differs in being able to affect multiple targets. However, this has never been an issue with variations, because {{m|Blizzard}} does the same thing. I see no reason not to include it. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:05, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

== Anchor Shot & Spirit Shackle / 5 PP limit ==

This article states that move variations are only valid if their PP is within 5 of each other. Despite this, it still lists Anchor Shot and Spirit Shackle as variants, even though they have a difference of 10 PP.

I feel that either the PP limit should be updated, or the table on Anchor Shot / Spirit Shackle should be removed. Right now it is just contradictory and confusing. - [[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 00:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition.

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue.

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power".

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition.

:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power.

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation.

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?"

:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations.

These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.

:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.gif]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.gif]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.gif]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user. That makes them variations according to your definition, but they have nothing in common according to the definition already defined on this page. I think this all does deserve to be noted somewhere, but I don't think this is the right place, is what I'm trying to say. ._.; [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The only item-stealing damaging moves, with same power and accuracy, are yet to be covered here.

I've realized that Dragon Claw and the others are exactly like Strength but in type, so i've changed that, and made Strength as the first in the variation. This is my first edit, i hope it's all-right, I don't know if the move wasn't in there because it is a HM.

:Arm Thrust as a variation of Barrage

:Dark Pulse as variation of Zen Headbutt
:Fire Blast and Megahorn as variations of Blizzard

::Okay, I made a change that in hindsight I'm unsure of. In Gen 3, Leaf Blade fit the requirements to be considered a variation of Slash - 70 power, 15 pp, 100% accuracy, high chance for critical. But in Gen 4 it's power is 90, and it has its own variation now, Attack Order. So....what do we do? IMO, it should be considered variations of both, depending on the Generation.

:::Yeah, no. The Barrage variations all have the same power and accuracy, Arm Thrust only has the same power.

Dark Pulse has more accuracy than Zen Headbutt. Bind, Wrap, and Fire Spin all have differnt accuracies. There's more to this page than just "Oh, it looks similar or has similar accuracy/PP/Power/type!" There's reasons that most of these aren't on there. The ones that don't seem like they fit are included because they either were the same, or are now the same. And Leaf Blade doesn't count, because it's already in a category that's more specific. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 20:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Why does Leaf Blade not count? It fit all the requirements before it's power was changed, if it doesn't count than neither does Zap Cannon as a variation of Dynamic Punch. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

:I went through the list, here's some examples of the above:
::Blizzard's requirements are "5 or 10 PP", because otherwise Thunder wouldn't qualify. Also, Focus Blast doesn't qualify because it doesn't cause a status ailment
::Zap Cannon is listed as a variation of Dynamic Punch, but it has different power.
::Seed Flare is listed as a variation of Fire Blast, but it doesn't cause a status ailment.
::Surf is listed as a variation of Flamethrower but doesn't cause a status, and it says so right on the page

Seed Flare and Fire Blast have the same power and accuracy, and both can have a secondary effect. As for Surf, I've always wondered that. I'll take that out of the template and this page.

:::::Moves can't be in more than one category, which is why Leaf Blade is with Attack Order, since they match exactly except for type. And you're still missing what I've been saying.

I am paying attention to what you're saying. Now pay attention to what I'm saying. Focus Blast does not cause a status ailment as the other variations do, and Seed Flare doesn't either. Zap Cannon and Focus Blast have different powers. So why are they listed? And again, ''Leaf Blade can count as a variation of both Slash and Attack Order'', so why do we count one over the other? Why are some exceptions made and not others? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 21:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
:No, I don't think you are. Focus Blast has a ''secondary effect'' like the others do, it's not limited to status or stat changes. As for Zap Cannon and Focus Blast, I just realized that yeah, it shouldn't be there. I'll change that too. If we put Leaf Blade in the Slash variations, then there wouldn't be one for Attack Order. And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash. The only ones that I can find that have different powers as of Gen IV are the Petal Dance variations. I'll see what I can do about that too.

Peck and Tackle aren't variations. Especially in generation V, where Tackle received a BP of 50.

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other.

:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still. My point is, PP shouldn't be taken into account. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

::::OK, so if the majority think that PP shouldn't count, we can put it back how it was. I changed it because it seemed that people wanted PP to count. I think it should be considered at least under some circumstances. I will stop changing the templates for move variations until the issue is resolved.

I added them to variations of waterfall and changed the definition of waterfall so that they both fit. But since all previous variations caused flinching, and the two I added lower defense /sp. def should they be considered two different moveset variations? Also, the templates under shadow ball and crunch I left as they are because I have no idea how to do it, or if even they are in fact variations of waterfall. Thanks...

== Extreme Speed and Sucker Punch ==

== Order of Oath Moves Doesn't Matter ==

Hasn't it been confirmed that the Oath moves can be used in any order to produce the same effect? Each individual page should be updated accordingly. (I figured I'd say this here instead of repeating myself on each individual page. This page (Move Variations) seems correct, but the individual pages are not.)

== Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? ==

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

:Looks and damage category don't matter, but with such all over the place effects, I agree. The wide range of chances mean that they are similar, but not variations as far as I'm concerned. That said, 20/25PP is probably close enough that the 30% chance ones could be considered variations. (I discussed this with several admins about a year ago, and viewpoints ranged from them needing to be identical PP, to PP not mattering. We reached an agreement that 5PP different was the maximum allowable, provided that they are the same in other aspects (power, accuracy, target and side effect chance). 5PP and 10PP would probably not be acceptable though.)

Now that Flamethrower and its variations have been reduced to 90 base power, they all now have the same base power as Sludge Bomb.

== PP variation in both directions ==

After some debate about whether or not PP should matter, it was agreed upon that it wouldn't as long as it was within 5. This created a problem in Generation VI with variations of {{m|Strength}}. Strength has 15 PP, some of its variations have 20 PP, but {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} has 10 yet is similar enough in every other way to be rightly included. It only differs from the "base" move by 5; however it is in a different direction than the other variations. Excluding Dazzling Gleam would be as absurd as adding it but excluding {{m|Power Gem}} and {{m|Drill Peck}}. For this reason, I've added it, and strongly feel it should stay. (This issue may arise with other moves I haven't looked at yet, in which case I'll do the same thing). Some may point out that Dazzling Gleam differs in being able to affect multiple targets. However, this has never been an issue with variations, because {{m|Blizzard}} does the same thing. I see no reason not to include it. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:05, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Elemental monkeys

2017-03-04T01:58:44Z

Johans:

{{unknown name}}
'''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and their respective evolutions—{{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of the Pokémon are based on monkeys with a different type ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively) and all of them share similar [[move]]s, appearance and identical [[base stats]]. They also evolve with the corresponding [[evolutionary stone]]s.

The elemental monkeys share a resemblance to [[starter Pokémon]], as they are a trio that consists of Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type Pokémon. Similarly to starter Pokémon, they are able to possess the {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Blaze}}, and {{a|Torrent}} [[Ability|Abilities]], but as their Hidden Ability instead. Starting in [[Generation VII]], they are capable of learning their respective type of [[Move variations|Pledge moves]], the [[Move Tutor|tutorial moves]] exclusively learned by starter Pokémon. The elemental monkeys also have the same [[gender ratio]] as the starter Pokémon, being 7 males to 1 female.

Parts of their names are identical to each other. Their basic stages have the same prefix ''Pan-'', equivalent with the Japanese suffix ップ (''-ppu''), while their final stages have the prefix ''Simi-'', the same true with the Japanese suffix ッキー (''-kkī'').

This term should not be confused with other Pokémon based on monkeys, such as {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Aipom}}, or {{p|Mankey}}.

==Pansage and Simisage==

|}
{{Main|Pansage (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simisage (Pokémon)}}

Pansage is the first of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type|Grass}} of the group. It evolves into Simisage when exposed to the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}. Pansage made its first appearance alongside {{p|Axew}} on toys dating back to July 2010, making it the first of the monkeys ever seen by fans.

Pansage is a green colored monkey with a tan colored face, arms, and upper body. It has a tree-like sprout forming on its head and a pair of leaves on its tail. Simisage is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily green in coloration. It has a pointed, bush-like crest similar to a Pompadour on its head and broad ears to the sides of it. It has a little fluff on its shoulders and a thorny tail.

Pansage's leaves are known to cure exhaustion, and Simisage attacks with its thorny tail if angered. Pansage is likely based on "Speak no Evil" from the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif.

As Grass types, Pansage and Simisage are capable of learning various Grass-type moves such as {{m|Seed Bomb}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and even {{m|Grass Knot}}, and are capable of having {{a|Overgrow}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pansage and Simisage are able to learn {{m|Grass Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Pansage can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Tepig}} as his or her starter.

{{Main|Panpour (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simipour (Pokémon)}}

Panpour is the last of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{t|Water}}-type of the group. It evolves into Simipour when exposed to the {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

Panpour is a blue monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and lower body. Its hair on its head is shaped like a fountain or {{wp|mushroom cloud}} and its tail has a {{wp|Suit (cards)|club}}-like shape at the end. Simipour is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily blue in coloration. It has crests on its head similar to dreadlocks and broad ears to the sides of it. Simipour also have a cream-colored face, chest, hands, arms, legs, and feet.

Panpour gathers water, stores it into its hair, and then dampens its body using its tail. The water stored in the tuft on its head is full of nutrition; plants watered with it will grow well. Simipour can use the stored water in its tail ether as backup when water supply is low or use it as a powerful weapon strong enough to destroy concrete. Panpour is likely based on "See no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As Water types, Panpour and Simipour are capable of learning various Water-type moves such as {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Surf}} plus some {{type|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}}. They are capable of having {{a|Torrent}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Panpour and Simipour are able to learn {{m|Water Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Panpour can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Snivy}} as his or her starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Panpour can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Rindo Berry]] can be found on wild Panpour.

If the player picked {{p|Tepig}} as his or her starter, then the player will face against [[Cress]] with a Panpour in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

===Cilan's Pansage===
{{main|Cilan's Pansage}}

Cilan's Pansage was the last of the Pokémon of the leader trio faced by Ash at the Gym, with Ash choosing to use {{AP|Oshawott}}. Pansage was a formidable opponent, overwhelming and intimidating Oshawott with powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks and with skillful agility that dodged Oshawott's attacks. As a finisher, Pansage used {{m|SolarBeam}} on Oshawott, but Oshawott deflected it with his scalchop and the battle continued. The battle ended when Oshawott won against Pansage after defeating it with {{m|Razor Shell}}.

After the battle, Cilan remarks on Ash's skills and decides to travel with him and {{an|Iris}}. Since then, Cilan often uses Pansage for assisting himself and {{ashfr}}.

===Chili's Pansear===
{{main|Chili's Pansear}}

{{p|Pansear}} is Chili's only known Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' when it battled against [[Ash's Tepig]]. Pansear managed to put up a good fight against Tepig with its powerful {{m|Dig}} attack, along with {{m|Fire Punch}} that sent Tepig flying. However, Tepig dove into the tunnels after Pansear and bit down on its tail which caused Pansear extreme pain. Tepig then spun Pansear around by its tail and threw it across the field, then followed up with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Tackle}}d it into the wall, knocking Pansear out.

Pansear reappeared in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' along with its Trainer where it battled [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Despite having a type advantage, it lost against Pansage.

[[File:Cress Panpour.png|thumb|200px|Cress's Panpour]]

===Cress's Panpour===
{{p|Panpour}} is [[Cress]]'s only known Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' when it battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It was shown to be an extremely powerful Pokémon, able to defeat Pikachu without suffering any damage despite having the type disadvantage. Panpour's {{m|Double Team}} confused Pikachu, after which Panpour landed a powerful {{m|Scratch}}. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Panpour's {{m|Water Gun}} hit Pikachu before he could execute his move. Pikachu then tried a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Panpour's {{m|Mud Sport}} stopped Pikachu in his tracks, after which another Water Gun knocked him out.

===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] appear in [[PMBW02]], each using their signature elemental monkey. When [[Red's Clefairy]] tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, their monkeys attack in a group against Clefairy, but this backfires when Clefairy uses their combined powers to make green tea.

===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[Monta]] has a Panpour and [[Cheren]] has a Pansage. They used them during a [[Triple Battle]] in ''[[PBW2|The Key to Triple Battles]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Cilan's Pansage}}
{{main|Chili's Pansear}}
[[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]] battle {{adv|Bianca}}, {{adv|Cheren}}, and {{adv|Black}} each using their signature elemental monkey in a Triple Battle. Much later, during a battle with the [[Shadow Triad]], the brothers evolve their Pokémon using the respective [[evolutionary stones]].

==In the TCG==
{{TCG|Pansage}}, {{TCG|Pansear}}, and {{TCG|Panpour}} along with their respective evolutions are recurring Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

==Trivia==
* The stats of all three elemental monkeys are identical, as are the stats of their evolved forms.
** Their cries are also the same: the difference is the effects applied to them. The same is true to their evolved forms.
* The [[Berry|Berries]] that may be held by the elemental monkeys in the wild ([[Occa Berry]], [[Passho Berry]], and [[Rindo Berry]]) are related to the primary weakness of main starter Pokémon.

'''Power Trip''' (Japanese: '''つけあがる''' ''Be Audacious'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Krookodile}}.

==Effect==
Power Trip has variable power depending on the total amount of positive [[Statistic|stat]] changes the user has accumulated. When the user has no positive stat changes, Power Trip's base power is 20. Its power increases by 20 for each positive stat stage the user has in any stat, and does not decrease in power due to any negative stat stages. It can reach a maximum power of 860 (20 + 20 × ( 7 × 6 )), if all seven stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, Speed, evasion, and accuracy) are at their maximum stage.

'''Metal Burst''' (Japanese: '''メタルバースト''' ''Metal Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Steel}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
Metal Burst returns 1.5 times the damage dealt by the foe's last attack. Unlike {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}}, Metal Burst does not require specifically [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] damage sources and Metal Burst does not have decreased [[priority]]; if the user is faster than its opponent, Metal Burst will fail. The move also fails if it is a {{m|substitute}} that takes the hit. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, Metal Burst will hit the last opponent that dealt damage to the user, even if it's non-adjacent to user; Metal Burst cannot affect allied Pokémon.

Metal Burst can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Taunt}} or {{m|Torment}} was used in the prior turn.

===Pokémon 20th Anniversary Mythical Pokémon===
{{bulbanews/5|Mythical Pokémon to be distributed throughout 2016|Mew code cards to be available in Canada at EB Games|Darkrai code cards available throughout North America|Mew to be available via Trainer Club newsletter|Arceus codes to be available throughout Americas, Europe}}
[http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/mythical.html These] Pokémon were distributed to players who inserted a serial code that was given away at various locations in select countries. These Pokémon were distributed to celebrate the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]].

The serial codes for Mew could be used from January 27 to May 31, 2016, the serial codes for Darkrai could be used from May 1 to August 31, 2016, the serial codes for Arceus could be used from July 30 to November 30, 2016, and the serial codes for Genesect can be used from November 1, 2016 to February 28, 2017.

The serial codes for Mew were also [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/another-mew-is-in-the-news/ given away] inside the Pokémon Trainer Club newsletter, which was sent out starting on June 10, 2016. These serial codes could be used from June 10 to August 31, 2016. Players who already received Mew from the previous serial code distribution were unable to obtain this event.

The distribution text for Arceus contains an error: while the [[Hall of Origin]] is where Arceus can be caught, the [[Azure Flute]] that is required to unlock the area was never released, and Arceus was instead simply distributed by itself without a legitimate means of being caught in-game.

Talk:Copycat (move)

2015-10-23T21:46:48Z

Johans: /* Generation VI text confusion */

Could this copy transform? [[User:Requiem Bell|Requiem Bell]] 17:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

If Copycat is used and copies the move Round from an ally would the copied round have doubled attack power? [[User:5hoo|5hoo]] 21:50, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
==speed==
what happens if the pokemon using it moves first? {{unsigned|Auragirl}}

==Switching==

I just tested this and switching has zero impact on copycat in 5th gen. I'm not sure about 4th gen, but in 5th gen one or both players can switch multiple times and copycat will still succeed as long as the last move used by either player was a valid move for copycat and said move did not fail. [[User:Ctom42|Ctom42]] ([[User talk:Ctom42|talk]]) 18:27, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

== Helping Hand ==

At least in Gen VI, Copycat seems to always fail if the move last used was Helping Hand. It will happily copy {{m|Aromatic Mist}} and {{m|Hold Hands}} though, which have the same targeting, so it's probably due to the priority. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

== Generation VI text confusion ==

I've been staring at the line of text in the "Generation VI" section, and I can't figure out what it means.

No matter how I try to read it, I come up against the bizarre assumption that, when determining move order, Copycat already knows which move it will copy (it either inherits the priority from that move, or selectively ignores the effect of Prankster based on whether the copied move's priority is less than 0). But I can't believe that Copycat already knows which move it will copy. Another Pokémon could use Extreme Speed, and Copycat will then copy Extreme Speed instead, thus (potentially) rendering inaccurate the effect of the original to-be-copied move on the Copycat user's priority in that round.

So what does it mean? And why is the move's decreased priority mentioned rather than the move being a status move - Prankster boosts status moves, not decreased priority moves. Also, why isn't the converse of this mechanics change mentioned in the "Generations IV and V" section, to make clear how it worked in previous generations? ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] ([[User talk:Serial Colour|talk]]) 20:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
:I think it means to say if a decreased priority move is used by a Pokémon with Prankster (which increases priority by 1), and that move is the one copycatted, the Pokémon with Copycat will use the move at its original, non-Prankster priority. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 20:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

:: That still implies that Copycat knows which move it will copy when the turn order is decided, and that the turn order could be changed partway through the turn if Copycat happens to copy a different move instead. And are you suggesting that the copied move's priority is used rather than Copycat's priority. Does the same happen for Mirror Move? ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] ([[User talk:Serial Colour|talk]]) 21:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
:::I'm sort of with Serial Colour on this. Me, I just don't understand what supposedly happened in Gen IV-V that doesn't happen in Gen VI. If someone could explain with an example, that would be very helpful, because the explanation about priority doesn't make any sense that I know how to parse. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
:What happens is that Copycat ''fails'', with priority +1. Not sure if that failure depends on the priority of the copied move or specific moves (or doesn't depend on the copied moves at all); I tried with Roar and Circle Throw and the message was that the move failed.

'''Zoroark''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゾロアーク''' ''Zoroark'') is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

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

Both it and Zorua were the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 10, 2010. Zoroark initially debuted as a silhouette before being revealed in full.

==Biology==
Zoroark is a bipedal, gray-brown, fox-like Pokémon with crimson and black accents. It has a pointed snout and ears with red insides. It also has some red rimming its eyes and mouth. It has a large, red, voluminous mane with black tips, which somewhat resembles a ponytail, as a teal bangle down its length separates a mass of the mane from the lower portion. It has a black ruff on its upper body, pointed at the shoulders from which its arms extend. Its upper arms are thin, whereas its lower arms, while still slim, are bulkier. The arms have spiky extensions of fur at the elbows, and it has red claws on its hands and feet. Zoroark's eyes are red-rimmed with light blue irises.

Zoroark can create illusions that are indistinguishable from reality, deluding many people simultaneously. It can even create illusory landscapes in the forests where it dwells, to hide its territory and protect its den. However, Zoroark is incapable of physically changing itself into another form; it is merely capable of casting illusions. When a Zoroark takes the form of a human, it is capable of human speech. It can make convincing illusions of attacks, and these illusions are extremely realistic, enough to fool even cameras and make one believe they're being physically affected, though the illusion does not have any direct physical effect. Zoroark, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Zorua}}, are the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Night Daze}}.

Zoroark lives in groups, where unity is strong. It is extremely protective of those it cares about and will go to any lengths to keep them safe, including risking its own life, and it can hold grudges on those who harm its loved ones. Zoroark will hide its Zorua young in its mane to protect them and carry them around. There are stories that say Zoroark punishes those who attempt to catch it by trapping them in an illusion.

Zoroark made its TV debut in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''. It inhabited [[Grand Spectrala Islet]] and used its illusion abilities to create [[Giant Pokémon]] in order to protect the other Pokémon on the island from poachers. Decades earlier, it was a Zorua that a [[Nurse Joy]] once cared for, later evolving once Nurse Joy left the island.

==Trivia==
[[File:PSGEN5.png|thumb|Zoroark's silhouette on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Zoroark was first revealed by [[Junichi Masuda]] as a silhouette in the February 7, 2010 edition of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. Its full image was later revealed in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]], alongside its pre-evolution, {{p|Zorua}}.
* Due to its debut before [[Generation V]] in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', it can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Lucario}}, which debuted in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', prior to the release of [[Generation IV]]. Unlike Lucario, however, Zoroark was revealed at the same time as its pre-evolved form.
** They both share the same names in Japanese and English versions of the game, have the same [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|Gender ratio]], are in the {{egg3|Field}} and need [[:Category:Pokémon in the Medium Slow experience group|1,059,860 Exp.]] to reach level 100.
* Though evolving from Zorua at level 30, pre-release information from CoroCoro suggested it would evolve from Zorua by a method different from known evolution methods. What this method might have been if it was true is unknown.

===Origin===
Zoroark is likely based on {{wp|kitsune}} of Japanese folklore, a shape-shifting mythical {{wp|fox}} that would trick unsuspecting travelers for fun. This is similar to {{p|Ninetales}}, another Pokémon based on kitsune. Its facial markings draw from {{wp|Kabuki}} and {{wp|Noh}} theatre makeup. It also resembles a {{wp|werewolf}}, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic {{wp|Canidae|canid}}, like most werewolves. Its large claws are also werewolf-like.

====Name origin====
Zoroark may be a combination of ''zorro'' (Spanish for ''fox'') and ''dark'', 悪 ''aku'' (evil), or ''arch-'' (prefix for "top" or "chief").

'''Mr. Mime''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バリヤード''' ''Barrierd'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} Pokémon, and prior to [[Generation VI]], a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Mr. Mime is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with a round, white body with a red spot in the middle. Its light pink arms and legs are connected to its body by red spheres. Its knees have small, white coverings. There are red pads on the tips of its white fingers, and its black feet curl upward at the tips. Blue growths extend from the sides of its pale pink head, and there are red circles on its cheeks.

From birth, this Pokémon is an excellent pantomime. As it matures, it gains the ability to solidify air molecules by vibrating its fingertips. This ability allows it to create invisible objects with its gestures. It punishes those who interrupt its act by slapping them. Mr. Mime is usually very rare, but can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|suburban areas.}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====[[Mimey]]====
Mr. Mime's first anime appearance was in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were looking for a Mr. Mime to replace another one that was supposed to perform in [[Stella]]'s circus. Ash originally dressed as one to encourage the old Mr. Mime, soon confusing [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] when a wild Mr. Mime arrived at her house.

====Other====
Stella had her own, lazy Mr. Mime in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' which had quit obeying her because she was too hard on it. It listened to her once more once it saw how she was willing to protect it from {{TRT}}.

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'', a Mr. Mime was part of a showboat stage show along with other Pokémon.

A Mr. Mime was one of the Pokémon living in [[Len Town]] under the ownership of [[Toku]] in ''[[EP156|The Psychic Sidekicks!]]''.

Mr. Mime also appears in ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]'' under the ownership of {{ka|Rhonda}}, a girl who lives outside [[Saffron City]] who was competing with [[Rhoda|her sister]], who owned a {{p|Sneasel}}, for the ownership of her father's restaurant.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' under the ownership of [[Clayton]]. It battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Buizel}} twice, beating it the first time but losing the second due to Buizel's {{m|Ice Punch}}.

A Mr. Mime appeared in ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Valerie]].

===Minor appearances===
Mr. Mime first appeared in [[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]] in a Pokémon park.

An image of a Mr. Mime appeared in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' under the ownership of a {{tc|Clown}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Sabrina Mr Mime Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Mr. Mime in Pokémon Adventures]]
Mr. Mime was first seen under the control of [[Sabrina]] in ''[[PS027|Peace of Mime]]'', generating a {{m|Light Screen}} to seal off the whole of [[Saffron City]].

The same Mr. Mime was seen again during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff in the [[Indigo Plateau]], using its miming powers to trap [[Bugsy]] within walls created from solidified air, and defeating his {{p|Heracross}} with a {{m|Psybeam}}.

{{adv|Crystal}} was revealed to have added a Mr. Mime , nicknamed Mymee, to her team during the {{chap|Emerald}} in order to imitate Sabrina's tactics.

[[Valerie]] owns a Mr. Mime in the {{chap|X & Y}}, where it was used to help stop the [[Ultimate weapon]] from activating.

==Trivia==
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was nicknamed Marcel. This may have been a homage to the late {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}. However, this was not kept in {{game|Yellow}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles in Yellow, and Mimien in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands. This was changed to five in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and every game since.
* In the Hebrew dub of the anime, Mr. Mime was often confused for a {{type|Water}} Pokémon in {{pmin|Israel}}, as "Mayim" (water) is pronounced very similar to "Mime".

===Origin===
Mr. Mime appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|clown}} and a {{wp|mime}} - together with a popular {{wp|pantomime}}, pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes. Its feet also appear to be reminiscent of the various hook-toed shoes worn by {{wp|jesters}}.

====Name origin====
Mr. Mime is ''{{wp|mime}}'' with an English male honorific. The assignment of a gendered title has no bearing of its equal male/female gender ratio, as it was named before the gender mechanic was introduced in the games.

Barrierd may be a combination of ''barrier'' (referring to the mime trait of 'being trapped' behind invisible walls) and ''weird'' or ''barricade''.

'''Tail Slap''' (Japanese: '''スイープビンタ''' ''Sweep Slap'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[multi-strike move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Minccino}} and {{p|Cinccino}}.

==Effect==
Tail Slap inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a 16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Ignoring the possibility of missing, it will hit 3.168 times on average, giving it an average power of 79.2. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a [[critical hit]].

Tail Slap may continue attacking after breaking a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Skill Link}} will always hit five times when using Tail Slap unless it misses.

If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the target is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}, the user is damaged for each strike.

===[[Pokémon Conquest]]===
Tail Slap is the only move of {{p|Cinccino}}, and targets an area three tiles wide in front of the user (forward and diagonally). If there are multiple Pokémon in the target area and the move fails to hit all of them, it will only hit each Pokémon once (instead of the usual two to five times).

==In the anime==
An Amulet Coin appeared in ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]],'' where it was found by {{Ash}}. Later, when he and {{TRT}} entered a UFO belonging to a group of Beheeyem, the Beheeyem told them that they lost an item looking like the Amulet Coin that was a vital part in getting the UFO to fly. Ash gave them the Amulet Coin he found, but it was not the right item. Instead, the Beheeyem sought a similar-looking item, which was found by [[James]] earlier on.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', a Pokémon Sumo tournament was held during the Harvest Festival on [[Harvest Island]], and the prize was a Focus Band. Eventually it was won by Ash, who gave it to his {{AP|Pignite}} to wear.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', a Rocky Helmet was one of the items offered to Ash by a market vendor in [[Coumarine City]] after Ash had wondered out loud what presents he should buy for an upcoming festival.

==In the manga==
[[File:Air Balloon PBW.png|thumb|160px|Air Balloon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
An Air Balloon appeared in ''[[PBW4|Challenge the Battle Subway!]]'', being held by [[Monta's Snivy]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} six Focus Band were used by {{adv|Gold}} on his team against the [[Masked Man]].

Leftovers was seen various times in the {{chap|Emerald}} as a held item for various [[rental Pokémon]], first debuting in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', where it was used by an opponent's {{p|Lairon}} in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}.

A Choice Scarf was the item held by the {{p|Linoone}} {{adv|Emerald}} rented from the Battle Factory. It was used to strengthen its {{m|Frustration}} in some of its matches. This item later proved to be instrumental in taking down {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}'s {{p|Mawile}} when Linoone used {{m|Trick}} to switch items with Mawile.

An Iron Ball appeared in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} found it amongst the metal items drawn out of the ground in [[Celestic Town]] by the {{a|Magnet Pull|magnetic field}} from [[Cyrus]]'s {{p|Magnezone}}. It later appeared as an item that was used in conjunction with {{adv|Lax}}'s {{m|Fling}} in {{adv|Platinum}}'s battle against [[Fantina]] in ''[[PS372|Mirages of Mismagius II]]''.

A Zoom Lens was seen in ''[[PS356|Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I]]'' as a prize Diamond won in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] using the coins {{adv|Platinum}} gained from the slot machines. Platinum tried the Zoom Lens on [[Chimler]] for training.

A Focus Sash was seen held by {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}'s {{p|Houndoom}}, allowing it to survive a super-effective {{m|Focus Blast}} by {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Lopunny}}. Platinum also rented a Focus Sash for her {{TP|Platinum|Empoleon}} to hold in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}}.

'''Floette''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フラエッテ''' ''Flaette'') is a {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flabébé}} starting at [[level]] 19 and evolves into {{p|Florges}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

==Biology==
Floette has white body and a green tail, shaped like a spade, and green eyebrows. Floette also appears to be holding a flower, which can be red, yellow, orange, blue, or white, depending on its {{p|Flabébé|pre-evolution}}'s. Its ears are white with yellow behind them. It flutters around and cares for flowers that are about to wilt; if the flowers of a well-tended flower bed bloom, Floette celebrates with an elegant dance. It is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

The Eternal Flower Floette, the Floette that befriended [[AZ]], is different from a normal Floette. The green tail and the green eyebrows become blue. The yellow part of the ears become red. Its flower changes as well, with six petals instead of five, three which are big and three are small. The stem becomes red, the leaves below the flower are removed and the part on the top of the flower become a black cone shape. The flower's underside becomes black, and the three big petals have a pattern of red and black. The Eternal Flower Floette is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of knowing {{m|Light of Ruin}}.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===

===Minor appearances===
Mutliple Floette made their debut in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

A Yellow Flower Floette appeared in a picture in ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]''.

==Game data==
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon X and Y]]: 3,000 years ago, [[AZ]] befriended a special Floette who died in the ancient [[Kalos]] war. AZ created a giant machine to bring his friend to life, and while he succeeded in granting his friend eternal life, his immeasurable grief led him to turn the machine into an immensely powerful weapon. The weapon decimated the armies of both sides, and brought an end to the war. However, upon learning that the weapon drew upon the life of other Pokémon, the Floette left him in disgust. Through the {{player}}'s actions, however, AZ's grief is lifted, and the two old friends reunite during the credits of the game.

==Trivia==
*In the [[Battle Chateau]], Baroness Francine's Flabébé uses the cry of Floette.
*Floette is the shortest Pokémon after evolution at only {{tt|0'08"|0.2 meters}}.
*Floette is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 371.
*Floette and its {{p|Flabébé|evolutionary}} {{p|Florges|relatives}} are the only species of Pokémon to have simultaneously had more than one signature Ability.
*Because only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can be found in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Floette can have their Hidden Ability {{a|Symbiosis}}.

===Origin===
Floette appears to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|nymphs}}, such as {{wp|Chloris#Chloris (Nymph)|Chloris}} and {{wp|Antheia}}. Its flower seems to resemble a {{wp|parasol}}.

====Name origin====
Floette and Flaette may be a combination of ''flower'' and ''florette'' (cluster of small flowers).

Look, the picture of Totodile from Emerald doesnt look very good to me. I think we should change it back to the GSC one. Chikorita and Cyndaquil have their GSC pics there, so wouldnt it make sense to have them all the same? [[User:Mooites|Mooites]] 22:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah It does make sense to have them all the same but it also makes sense to use the most recent artwork and I'm pretty sure Chikorita and Cyndaquil never got new artwork since GSC. --[[User:Hey1031|Hey1031]] 22:41, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Well I dont know, I have no more authority than you do, but the other starters didnt recieve new artwork since GSC only a select few such as Ledyba, Hoothoot, pichu, cleffa, igglybuff and a few others got new artwork. in my opinion I think it should stay with the more updated artwork but i guess you can do what you want.

Since we have Flatter down, Totodile still has Aqua Jet, Crunch and Water Pulse as Egg Moves in X/Y. I don't know how to add that, though.

I've seen some ORAS learnsets on some other pages, specifically on Pokemon introduced in Gen III.

== Egg move: Ice Punch ==

So... Totodile can inherit Ice Punch from a parent Totodile, Croconaw or Feraligatr. Can someone explain to me why such a case is not on the list? (Just asking) --[[User:Johans|Johans]] ([[User talk:Johans|talk]]) 20:33, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

:The parent lists on each Pokémon's article only include the original source of move inheritance, which is either a Pokémon that learns the move via leveling up, or a Pokémon in the middle of a breeding chain (that begins with an ancestor that learns it via leveling up). A Totodile will only inherit Ice Punch from a parent Totodile, Croconaw or Feraligatr if the latter had already learned Ice Punch via a move tutor, special event, or inherited it from a parent Abomasnow (who learns it by leveling up). --[[User:Johans|Johans]] ([[User talk:Johans|talk]]) 06:48, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Rock (type)

{{types}}
The '''Rock type''' (Japanese: '''いわタイプ''' ''Rock type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Rock-type Pokémon are the [[Gym Leaders]] [[Brock]], {{ka|Flint}}, and [[Forrest]] of [[Pewter City]], [[Roxanne]] of [[Rustboro City]], [[Roark]] of [[Oreburgh City]], and [[Grant]] of [[Cyllage City]]. [[Jasmine]] is also stated to have trained Rock-types in the past. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all Rock-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

===Generation II onwards===
Rock-type Pokémon are immune to the damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}} weather condition.

Starting in [[Generation IV]], Rock-type Pokémon have a Special Defense multiplier of 1.5 during a {{weather|sandstorm}}.

|resisted1=Fighting
|resisted2=Ground
|resisted3=Steel
}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
The Rock type is rather risky defensively. Despite having an overall high {{stat|Defense}} on average, and whilst it is defensive against the very common {{type|Normal}} moves, its weaknesses to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves, typically physical in nature and rather commonly used, take it down a notch. The fact that its {{stat|Special Defense}} is mediocre at best combined with its weakness to the common {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Water}} moves greatly decrease its ability to defend.

Double weaknesses among Rock types are very common. Rock/Steel Pokémon are doubly weak to Ground and Fighting, two common powerful types. Rock/Fairy Pokémon are doubly weak to Steel, which is rarely used offensively. Rock/Water Pokémon and Rock/Ground Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass and the latter is also doubly weak to the common Water (along with an extra weakness to the powerful {{t|Ice}}.) The low Speed that many Rock types have causes even further problems. Their resistance to {{t|Fire}} can now be made useless as many Fire types' movesets have been expanded in [[Generation IV]] to include Grass attacks (most notably {{m|Solar Beam}}). Furthermore, tied with {{t|Grass}}, Rock types have the most weaknesses, with five.

However, resistances to {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Fire}} help the Rock type to hold its own if it needs to. Moreover, in a {{m|Sandstorm}} the {{stat|Special Defense}} is increased by 50%. Furthermore, {{weather|Sandstorm}}s are very commonly seen, thanks to {{a|Sand Stream}} automatically creating a five-turn Sandstorm.

===Offense===
Rock is one of the best types offensively. Being resisted by only three of the eighteen types, two of which are hindered by their own {{t| Fighting|mediocre defenses}} and {{t| Steel|relative scarcity}} helps it a lot, and the fact that {{p|Excadrill|only}} {{P|Steelix|four}} {{p|Lucario|Pokémon}} {{p|Cobalion|out}} of 718 have a double resistance to Rock keeps its moves relatively effective. Double weaknesses to Rock are relatively common, mostly due to the many Bug types having Flying as a secondary type, while the typically high-powered Ice- and Fire types also do not fare well. As Pokémon of the three types that resist Rock typically can master Rock-type moves, this proves a quite versatile combination.

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Rock-type moves are typically {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves. None of them are {{OBP|Cute|condition}} moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 55 Rock-type Pokémon or 7.3% of all Pokémon (assuming [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 9th rarest type.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with Rock-type===
User of {{a|Color Change}} will be changed into Rock-type after it is hit with a Rock-type move. {{a|Protean}} will change its user into Rock-type when it uses a Rock-type move. When a Pokémon with {{a|Multitype}} holds a [[Stone Plate]], it will become a Rock-type Pokémon. When a Pokémon with {{a|Imposter}} is sent out and its opposite opponent is Rock-type, it will transform into that Pokémon and turn into Rock-type.

===Exclusive Abilities===
Only Rock-type Pokémon can have these Abilities. This does not include [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]].

==Trivia==
* Generation III introduced the most Rock-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 12, and Generations II and IV introduced the fewest Rock-type Pokémon, both with seven.
* Generation IV introduced the most Rock-type moves of any Generation, with six, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Rock-type moves, with only {{m|Diamond Storm|one}}.
* If there were a hypothetical Pokémon of all 18 types, it would be weak to only Rock-type moves and {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, due to the fact that there are more Pokémon types weak to them than Pokémon types that resist them, and that no types are immune to them.
** However, if {{m|Gravity}} was used or it held an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}}, that hypothetical Pokémon would gain a weakness to {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Ghost}} moves respectively, as well.
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the Rock type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by {{type|Electric}} attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon were part Ground-type, and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon (the then five [[Fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
* The Rock type is tied with the {{t|Grass}} type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Steel}}.
** A combination of the two types would, however, {{t|Fighting|only}} {{t|Bug|have}} {{t|Ice|four}} {{t|Steel|weaknesses}}. The only two Pokémon with this type combination are {{p|Lileep}} and {{p|Cradily}}.
** Coincidentally, Rock moves are super effective against four of the five types {{t|Grass}} is weak to, with {{t|Poison}} being the exception. Interestingly though, the Rock type resists the {{t|Poison}} type.
* Seven of the fifteen Rock-type moves (just under half) have the word 'rock' in their names.
* Every known [[Fossil]] Pokémon is part or solely Rock-type. This is most likely due to the placement of real fossils in rock formations, as well as the process by which fossils are created.
* {{4v|Black|White}} are the only main series games that do not have a Rock-type Gym.
* Johto's [[Olivine Gym]] was a Rock type Gym before the Steel type was discovered.
* In [[Generation I]] there were only two Rock-type moves, which made it the type with the second fewest moves. Only the {{t|Dragon}} type had fewer moves, with only one move.
* {{m|Ancient Power}}, {{m|Power Gem}}, and {{m|Hidden Power}} Rock are the only special Rock-type moves.
** Coincidentally, {{m|Ancient Power}}, {{m|Power Gem}}, {{m|Hidden Power}} Rock and {{m|Smack Down}} are the only Rock-type moves with 100% accuracy.

==What this still really needs==

---
1) If move is a TM/HM, and if so what # in each version. 
2) Generation of Creation (I, II, or III) 
3) Perhaps: % of causing side-efffect/what side effect it has. 

[[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 04:31, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

===In addition===

How about adding a box that shows what generation that move was introduced in? That's a fairly valuable piece of information for anyone planning movesets for the older generation games.

''That's what I meant by Generation of Creation--guess I wasn't specific enough. ~Ev''

Here's an excerpt from DarkBot:

[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [NUMBER] 289 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [NAME] SNATCH 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [DESCRIPTION] Steals the effects of the move the foe uses next. 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TYPE] DARK 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE PP] 10 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE DAMAGE] 0 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE ACCURACY] 100% 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TARGET] Last opponent who moved 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [EFFECT] If the opponent is using a move to boost itself, cancels the opponent's turn and the user uses the move instead, uses a priority modifier 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [PRIORITY] This move by default goes first (4) 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TOUCH] No [CAN MISS] No [CAN MAGIC COAT] No [CAN SNATCH] No [USES KING'S ROCK] No [SOUND MOVE] No 

All of this information is important and should be shown somewhere, either in the infobox or elsewhere on the move pages.

[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 21:37, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Picture ==

Should we include a picture with each move? Just a thought. Also, the stuff like touches and misses is now covered under the Template:MoveProperties.

== King's Rock ==

I don't know how to change this, but when it says whether or not to use the King's Rock, the link should be the following, not whatever it is now:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Items#King.E2.80.99s_Rock

→[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 23:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
:Better question... why in the world are there so many weird apostrophes on that page? It's the difference between ’, which I think is what some programs like word might use by default for apostrophes, and ', which is what the text editors on Bulbapedia use when you hit the apostrophe key. I mean, I think, anyway. You can't even tell 'em apart unless you look at them in the Bulbapedia's text editor thing whatever I'm typing in now. Let me see if I can do something about that. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 00:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
:Okay. Are things fixed now? =D --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 00:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

== Cool, Smart, Tough, etc. Images ==
Do you think we might be able to get the little coloured box images for the Contest Categories?
They're a nice little aesthetic touch, I think. ~ [[User:Megalomania|Megalomania]] 23:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

== External MoveDex Links ==
I'd like to inquire as to why the Serebii.net Attackdex's are excluded from the links. Its included on the Pokémon so why not here? --[[User:Serebii|Serebii]] 20:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
:Why aren't we linking to Serebii's Attackdex? Is it just because Serebii's URL's don't have spaces in them for multi-word moves? Aren't there string manipulation wiki functions we can use to remove spaces from a parameter? Same question for the Legendary Pokémon URLs–is there no way to just replace spaces with +'s instead of requiring another parameter to the template? — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 21:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon Data ==

The following should be added to the infobox to better reflect data in [[Mystery Dungeon]]:
* PP (this is typically different from the main games)
* Accuracy (this is typically different from the main games)
* Critical (base critical hit probability)
* Target Type (one of the following)
** Enemies only
** Player and allies only
** Any Pokémon
** User
** User, then foe
** All except user
** All allies except user
* Range Type (one of the following)
** Tile in front
** 3 tiles diagonally and in front
** 1-tile range
** All in room
** Up to 2 tiles ahead
** All on floor
** User
** Tile in front, cuts corners
* Flags
** affected by {{m|Magic Coat}}
** affected by {{m|Snatch}}
** affected by Muzzled status
** does not damage [[Frozen]] Pokémon
** affected by Taunted status
** affected by [[Ginseng]]

This is needed to better improve {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}.
[[User:KelvSYC|KelvSYC]] 06:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

== So I'm thinking... ==

Maybe we ought to add what TM it is. (about time, too) '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

: <nowiki>{{#if: {{{tm1|}}}|*[[TM{{{tm1}}}]] in [[Generation I]]}}</nowiki> so i think is better. (you dont need 2 parameters for one thing)

PS:

<pre><nowiki>{{#switch: {{{protect|}}}

is this better for the extra values?

== Move targets ==

I really think this template should have a field that specifies the targets of the move in a double battle (one target, both foes, user, all but user, random foe). Some of the non-single-target moves say so in their article, but some don't and it's not standardized. If we don't put it in this template, we should at least devise a standardish way to specify it in the article. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 16:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Contact ==

== Suggestion ==

Any way to merge some of the AbilityInfobox and TownInfobox styles and put it on here? What I mean is, add flavor text per generation, provide screenshots from each generation, etc?

Can we make the default image scale none at all? So if the parameter is left out, the image is shown as its actual size?

Given the Triple Battle layout, wouldn't it make more sense to have the user in the Triple Battle grid at the lower left or lower right rather than the lower center?

*V:Unknown. Anyone has info about it?

or {{m|Selfdestruct}}:

*II:''Powerful, but makes the user faint.
*III:''Inflicts severe damage but makes the user faint{{tt|.|Yeah, in this Generation, description is the same for Explosion and Selfdestruct}}
*IV:(again from article)''The user attacks everything around it by causing an explosion. The user faints upon using this move.
*V:I don't know it. Again.

See Gen II and Gen III [http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5139/descriptionjx.png there].

== Links to Smogon movedex broken for renamed moves ==

Hello.

It would appear that the links to Smogon's movedex on [[List_of_modified_moves#Name_changes|moves that have been renamed]] are broken, as Smogon uses the original name of the move (e.g. [http://www.smogon.com/gs/moves/Conversion2 Conversion2] and [http://www.smogon.com/rs/moves/Faint_Attack Faint Attack]) while the template here links to the new name ([http://www.smogon.com/gs/moves/Conversion_2 Conversion 2 (broken link)] and [http://www.smogon.com/rs/moves/Feint_Attack Feint Attack (broken link)]. I went through both lists (II-III and V-VI), and all but a single move are affected (Smokescreen still works as it was only a caps change).

I don't suppose the template has a parameter for overriding these links, does it? :)

For what it's worth, as I went through the list, I produced a table of corrected link names... although I'm not sure how best to share it. I can confirm, however, that for all 22 entries in the [[List_of_modified_moves#Name_changes|tables I linked above]], a working link to the move on Smogon can be produced by taking the old name, and substituting spaces with underscores.

Johans: /* List of physical moves that do not make contact */

'''Contact''' or '''direct attack''' is a term used to describe the condition when one Pokémon in a {{pkmn|battle}} physically touches the opponent in order to deal damage with a move.

Contact is distinct from whether a move is [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] in nature, but most moves that make contact are physical moves, while most special moves do not make contact; [[status move]]s do not make contact in any case.

The use of contact-based moves can trigger various [[Ability|Abilities]] of the foe, such as {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Effect Spore}}. It can also trigger certain [[item]]s, and can be used to spread [[Pokérus]].

Hitting a {{m|substitute}} does not make contact with the Pokémon behind it.

Note that {{m|Ancient Power}} and {{m|Overheat}} make contact in [[Generation III]] only.

==List of physical moves that do not make contact==
These are physical moves that '''do not''' make contact. (This does not include moves such as {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which belonged to physical-based types before [[Generation IV]] reclassified them as special.)

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, battle animations for contact moves do not show the attacking Pokémon hitting the defending one at all. As in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}}, physical blows usually utilize quick camera cuts between the attacking and defending Pokémon to imply direct contact.

'''Nature Power''' (Japanese: '''しぜんのちから''' ''Nature Power'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is [[TM96]] as of Generation VI.

==Effect==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm XD info. PMD generation IV and later}}
Nature Power becomes a different move depending on the environment that the battle is being conducted in.

Prior to Generation VI, Nature Power targets the user rather than any specific Pokémon. Therefore, in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, because of the inability to select a target, the chosen move always hit the opponent directly opposite the user. If the opponent directly opposite the user had fainted, the move will randomly target one of the other opponents. If in a terrain that calls a move that affects multiple Pokémon, it will target the Pokémon usually targeted by that move.

In Generation VI, Nature Power now targets an adjacent Pokémon rather than the user (even if the move it would turn into affects multiple Pokémon). This allows single-target moves called by Nature Power to target an ally, which was not previously possible.

'''Secret Power''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのちから''' ''Secret Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It was [[TM43]] from Generation III to [[Generation IV]], and [[TM94]] in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Effect==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm effect in XD and add effects for Explorers of Time, Darkness, Sky, and Gates to Infinity}}
===In battle===
Secret Power inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing a secondary effect. The effect and animation are determined by environment. The effect and animation caused by each environment changes between games, as does the environments recognized. Secret Power's secondary effect chance is not doubled by {{a|Serene Grace}}.

===Out of battle===
====Generation III====
Secret Power allows the user to create their own [[Secret Base]]. When used on certain trees, a vine drops down. When used on indented walls, a cave opens. When used on certain bushes, an entrance opens.

====Generation IV and V====
It no longer has the out-of-battle effect of creating a Secret Base.

====Generation VI====
Secret Power's association with Secret Bases returns in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the effect depends on the dungeon's current terrain.

Ground (type)

{{types}}
{{redirect|Ground|the Egg Group formerly known as the Ground Egg Group|Field (Egg Group)}}
The '''Ground type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じめんタイプ|Jimen Taipu}}''' ''Ground type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Ground-type Pokémon are [[Giovanni]] of [[Viridian City]], [[Bertha]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], and [[Clay]] of [[Driftveil City]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all Ground-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Ground-type is somewhat risky. Despite having above average {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Defense}}, they have below average {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}}. Combining that with weaknesses to the common {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Ice}} types (all three of which have generally special movesets), makes tanking special hits quite difficult for Ground-types. It only resists {{t|Poison}}, a type rarely used offensively, and {{t|Rock}}. It is, however, immune to the {{t|Electric}} type, posing a great advantage due to the minority of Pokémon resisting {{t|Electric}} moves that are not {{type|Electric}} themselves, and the fact that as of Generation VI, only {{p|Zekrom}}, Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and {{p|Rotom}}'s Mow Form have a ¼ resistance to {{t|Electric}}. Like Electric-types, they are also immune to the crippling {{m|Thunder Wave}} (though not immune to [[Paralysis (status condition)|paralysis]] itself, with the exception of {{p|Stunfisk}}).

===Offense===
Offensively, the Ground type is one of the most powerful offensive types, with the others being {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Fire}}. It is the only type super-effective against {{t|Electric}}, and is super-effective against five types in total; only the {{t|Fighting}} type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against two of the best defensive types, {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Steel}}. {{t|Grass}}- and {{t|Bug}}-type Pokémon do resist Ground, but this is largely mitigated by the common Grass/Poison and Bug/Poison typing. This, combined with the fact that the highly damaging and popular {{m|Earthquake}} has been available as [[TM26]] in every Generation, makes Ground a very potent type offensively. Given that the types Ground hits with super-effective damage (with the arguable exception of {{t|Poison}}) are fairly common types, and its unique ability to hit Electric types super effectively, Ground type is commonly considered as one of the best offensive types, along with {{t|Fighting}}.

The greatest disadvantage of the Ground type is that it does not affect the very common {{type|Flying}} Pokémon at all (unless the Flying type uses {{m|Roost}}), nor Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} (unless {{m|Smack Down}} is used on it). However, all fully-evolved Ground-type Pokémon are able to learn Rock-type attacks, which somewhat alleviates the problem.

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Ground-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves. No Ground-type moves are [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while they can be the other three types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 61 Ground-type Pokémon or 8.3% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 7th most common type.

==Trivia==
* Generation I introduced the most Ground-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 14, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Ground-type Pokémon, with two.
* Generation I introduced the most Ground-type moves of any Generation, with six, and Generations IV, V, and VI introduced the fewest Ground-type moves, with two each.
* Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Ground-type Pokémon.
* Along with the {{t|Fighting}} type, Ground-type moves are super-effective against the most types: five.
* Although Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks, the Ability {{a|Static}} still affects them.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks is treated inconsistently, sometimes upheld and sometimes ignored. The anime (in particular ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'') also implies that Ground type's immunity to Electric types has a limit depending on the voltage, as Brock's Onix, when first fighting Pikachu, was completely unaffected by Pikachu's electricity, but in the rematch, Pikachu's electric attacks, having been boosted at an abandoned hydroelectric plant, were giving Onix a noticeable degree of pain, although it still wasn't enough to completely incapacitate it, as well as environmental factors (such as water being sprayed on it).
* All types that resist the {{t|Flying}} type are weak to Ground, and vice versa; however, the type combinations Electric/Flying, Rock/Flying, and Steel/Flying still resist both due to the Flying type's immunity to Ground moves.
* More Pokémon are immune to Ground-type moves than any other type, as both {{t|Flying}} Pokémon and {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon are immune to Ground.
* The Ground type is the only type in the Generation II games and their remakes that a notable Trainer doesn't specialize in.
** However, [[Giovanni]], a former notable Trainer, can be battled in the remakes from the use of an event.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンＸＤ {{tt|闇|やみ}}の{{tt|旋風|かぜ}}ダーク・ルギア''' ''Pokémon XD: Whirlwind of Darkness, Dark Lugia'') is [[Genius Sonority]]'s second Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] as well as the second RPG in the Pokémon series for a home console. The game features a [[Battle Mode]] akin to that of its [[Pokémon Colosseum|predecessor]], as well as a Story Mode featuring a brand new plot set in the [[Orre]] region.

==Gameplay==
Much like {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, Pokémon XD features a similar 3D gameplay to the [[core series]] of Pokémon games. Mechanics in [[Pokémon battle]]s are directly adapted. Also, similar to its predecessor, Pokémon XD features mostly [[Double Battles]] instead of Single Battles. Also, unlike in Colosseum, [[Wild Pokémon]] can be found, albeit only in specific places called [[Poké Spot]]s.

==Story==
{{spoilers}}
===Setting===
The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed ''XD001'', claimed to be immune to purification. A young Trainer, [[Michael]], aims to defeat Cipher and prevent their plans.

===Plot===
{{incomplete|section|More plot. When added, please add to [[Orre]] as well}}
The game opens with a shot of the [[S.S. Libra]] cruising through the sea, when suddenly some helicopters appear overhead with [[Shadow Lugia]], which picks up the ship. The sailors fall out and watch in awe as it flies away, carrying the ship with it.

The protagonist, [[Michael]], finds himself using a {{p|Salamence}} to battle a {{p|Metagross}}. No matter what the outcome is, when the battle is over the player will then find himself in the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]], where it is revealed that the battle was merely a simulation. Michael then speaks with [[Professor Krane]] and {{OBP|Lily|XD}}. Prof. Krane comments on Michael's battle skills, and Lily remembers that she hasn't seen [[Jovi]], Michael's younger sister, since lunch.

Lily asks Michael to look for her. Michael finds a [[P★DA]] that Professor Krane left him in his room and gets an E-mail telling him to ask [[Adon]], who was playing hide-and-seek with Jovi. Adon tells Michael to look in [[Dr. Kaminko]]'s house. After watching a report about the missing cargo ship that was carrying loads of Pokémon (the S.S. Libra), Michael goes to Kaminko's house, where he battles by [[Chobin]], who mistakes him for a burglar. After fending him off, Jovi shows up and Michael takes Jovi home.

Back at the HQ Lab, Michael talks to Prof. Krane and obtains the [[Snag Machine]], a machine that allows its owner to snag Shadow Pokémon from other Trainers. To complement the machine, Aidan adds a Shadow Monitor to the P★DA. When Professor Krane goes to ready the battle simulator for a test, some men come in and kidnap Professor Krane. Michael follows them outside and battles the leader, [[Naps]], who is using a {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Teddiursa}}, which Michael snags. However, Prof. Krane is taken away by his captors. Aidan mentions that Prof. Krane is crucial to the Purification Chamber project (a device that allows Shadow Pokémon to be purified), and that there is nothing they can do without him. Lily then says they can complete it themselves, and sends Michael to [[Gateon Port]] to retrieve a crucial part, with Jovi tagging along.

At Gateon Port, Jovi runs into [[Zook]], who sends out his shadow {{p|Zangoose}} in anger. Before he can do anything else, however, a mysterious wealthy man, [[Mr. Verich]], steps in and has one of his bodyguards defeat Zook. Michael and Jovi retrieve the machine part from the mechanic [[Perr]] (snagging a few Shadow Pokémon on the way) and return to the HQ lab.

Lily mentions that there is a place in [[Agate Village]] that can purify Shadow Pokémon, and Michael heads there. While there, he meets Eagun, the elder of Agate Village, who shows Michael the [[Relic Stone]], a stone that has the power to purify Shadow Pokémon. Eagun allows Michael to purify one Pokémon at the Stone, and Michael returns to the HQ Lab.

Michael then travels to the [[Cipher Lab]] to rescue Prof. Krane, and successfully does so while defeating Cipher Admin [[Lovrina]]. While at the lab, he finds a DATA Rom, and heads to Pyrite Town to speak with [[Secc]] and [[Nett]] at [[ONBS]], to see if they can decode it. After receiving some tips from [[Duking]] about [[Pokespots]], Michael receives a text from [[Nett]] saying to come back to [[Pyrite Town]]. [[Cipher]] has taken over [[ONBS]], and it's up to Michael to defeat them on his way up to see [[Nett]].

Michael's next stop is [[Phenac City]]. After his arrival, he finds that the city has been taken over by [[Cipher]]. After defeating the [[Cipher Peon]]s, he heads into the Phenac Stadium and defeats Cipher Admin [[Snattle]], freeing Phenac City.

Later, Michael is tipped off by Phenac's [[Trest|mayor]] about Cipher sticking around a strange building, and is also requested by a young girl in [[Pyrite Town]] to go save her Pokémon aboard the [[S.S. Libra]]; but both the strange building and the S.S. Libra are inaccessible due to the heavy sands that Michael's scooter can't pass. After [[Robo Groudon|another misunderstanding]] with [[Chobin]], Michael is able to get advanced wheels that can take him through the heavy sands. Although Michael can find the {{p|Bonsly|specific creature he was requested to find}}, it flees when startled by the [[PDA]], and all the other Pokémon supposedly aboard the ship have also disappeared. After encountering and dueling some more Cipher members, [[Team Snagem]] goons ambush Michael; by using {{m|Sleep Powder}}, they knock him out and steal his [[Snag Machine]] from him.

Michael then re-encounters [[Zook]] from [[Gateon Port]] at the [[Cipher Key Lair]], the strange building Justy told him about, but he cannot even attempt to snag his Shadow {{p|Zangoose}}. Also, two bulky guards make the key lair inaccessible to Michael, leaving him trapped out.

Fortunately, [[Secc]] at [[ONBS]] directs Michael to [[Hordel]] at the [[Outskirt Stand]]; he directs Michael to the [[Snagem Hideout]]. After battling through the swarm of Snagem members, Michael defeats the leader [[Gonzap]] and reclaims his [[Snag Machine]]; but when they both realize that they are both trying to defeat [[Cipher]], Gonzap agrees to help Michael through the guards. The same {{p|Gloom}} that put Michael to sleep puts the two bulky guards to sleep, letting Michael enter the [[Cipher Key Lair]]; after intensely battling through the many {{pkmn2|Shadow}}-enabled peons in it, and then after shutting down the factory thus ceasing the production of all Shadow Pokémon, Michael confronts and battles the third {{tc|Cipher Admin}}—[[Gorigan]].

After defeating the large, ape-like man, [[Mr. Verich]] appears on video and reveals that he is actually [[Greevil]], the true master of Cipher, and that he is hiding on [[Citadark Island]], but the island is in a very stormy area of sea and almost always has terrible weather, making it almost impossible to breach. With the help of [[Makan]], Michael—after getting the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Krane]]—enables the [[Robo Kyogre]], and journeys to [[Cipher]]'s last stronghold.

There, he battles through [[Lovrina]], [[Snattle]] and [[Gorigan]] a second time and an entire horde of Pokémon, and even battles [[Ardos]] and [[Eldes]], who are two more {{tc|Cipher Admin|Cipher Admins}} and [[Greevil]]'s bodyguards. After going through everyone, Michael battles [[Greevil]] after snagging or defeating [[Shadow Lugia]]. He defeats him, and it is then revealed that Ardos and Eldes are his sons. Ardos wishes to blow up Citadark Island, sacrificing Michael and all the Cipher members and Pokémon on the island so Cipher can live on, but he is ultimately spurned by Eldes, who convinces Greevil that Cipher is finished after being defeated a second time. Ardos storms off, and Eldes and Greevil decide to surrender to the police, thus ensuring Orre's safety.

Michael can complete the [[Orre Colosseum]] after this. The five Cipher Admins appear in competitions there, along with Gonzap and his Team Snagem followers as well as Chobin piloting Robo Groudon. Notably, when challenged Ardos hints of his plans to resurrect Cipher, and upon being defeated, he labels Michael as Cipher's biggest threat.

==Blurb==

==Characters==
[[File:XD Michael.png|thumb|Michael, as he appears in Pokémon XD]]
{{main|:Category:XD characters|XD characters}}
The [[player character|protagonist]] of Pokémon XD is a young boy named [[Michael]], Trainer of an Eevee. Michael lives with his mother, {{OBP|Lily|XD}}, and his younger sister [[Jovi]]. [[Professor Krane]], a scientist researching Pokémon purification and a family friend, often assists him. A handful of other characters also appear, some returning from {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and some new.

The crime organization [[Cipher]] returns in the game with renewed plans. The syndicate includes five new admins: [[Lovrina]], [[Snattle]], [[Gorigan]], [[Ardos]] and [[Eldes]] hired by the team's [[Greevil|boss]]. [[Miror B.]] also appears in the game with new scopes in mind.

==Locations==
{{main|:Category:XD locations}}
The game's setting is in the [[Orre]] region, which has been altered after the five years that have passed. More [[wild Pokémon]] have started appearing, but Orre's land is still much less inhabited than other [[regions]]. Pokémon XD features locations not present in Colosseum, as well as landmarks such as [[Mt. Battle]] returning.

===Generation IV===
* {{p|Munchlax}}
* {{p|Bonsly}}

These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Poké Spot and make the player receive a false alarm that a wild Pokémon has appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the player finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to take it back to her store, and she will offer the player ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she will allow the player to use a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a playable Pokémon.

==Connectivity==
Players can transfer snagged Pokémon from Pokémon XD to any of the portable [[Generation III]] games: [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and {{v|Emerald}}. This transference functions identically to the [[trade|trading]] function in the [[core series]] games, but can only happen in [[Phenac City]].
* In order to do the above, one needs to have completed the sidequest to unlock trading with Hoenn-based games in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Through exploitation of differences in linkup requirements, players can send Pokémon from XD to one of the handheld Hoenn games without beating the Elite Four, trading first to a game that has done so, trading from that to {{g|Colosseum}}, and trading from Colosseum to the Hoenn game.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon XD}}

==Trivia==
* This is the last Pokémon game to be released for the [[GameCube]].
* According to the blurb on the back of the game box, the "XD" in the title stands for 'e'''X'''tra '''D'''imension'.
* Though {{p|Lugia}} is the main focus of the game, it has only the second-highest level of snaggable [[Shadow Pokémon]] (tied with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Salamence}}), at level 50. The Shadow Pokémon of the highest level in this game is a {{p|Dragonite}} at level 55.
* Pokémon XD is the second true sequel Pokémon game, after the [[Generation II]] games, which are a sequel to [[Generation I]].
** Before the release of Pokémon XD, {{wp|Reggie Fils-Aime}} stated that Pokémon XD would not be a sequel to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, but rather a whole new game, having a similar style to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
* Trainers that were in Colosseum who also appear in this game tend to still have the same Pokémon, but their levels and even stages of evolution are sometimes lower than they were in Colosseum.
* If one trades a Pokémon from {{g|Colosseum}} to a [[Game Boy Advance]] game and then to this game, it will say the Pokémon was met in a distant land, even though both Colosseum and XD take place in Orre. A similar oddity occurs if the reverse is done.
* If a player pre-ordered this game, they could receive a limited edition [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] skin featuring [[Shadow Lugia]], {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and [[Michael]].
* The game's name may be a reference to Lugia's codename before the release of Gold and Silver, Pokémon X.
* Like in Pokémon Colosseum, Shadow Pokémon are banned from VS mode. However, there are no restrictions on non-Shadow Pokémon that are given [[Shadow move]]s through [[cheating]]. The same lack of restrictions also apply to {{p|Bonsly}}.
* This game and {{g|Colosseum}} are the only RPG Pokémon games released after {{game|Crystal}} to not allow the player to choose their gender.
* Some Pokémon, such as Zapdos, Articuno, Lugia, and others, have moves normally unobtainable once purified.

Multistrike move

2014-03-27T21:28:05Z

Johans: Change regarding Substitute was prior to Generation IV. Remember the Battle CD?

[[File:Fury Swipes V.png|thumb|{{m|Fury Swipes}}, a multi-strike move]]
'''Multi-strike moves''' are [[move]]s that strike an opponent more than one time in the same turn. Most multi-strike moves will hit the opponent 2-5 times in a turn, but some work differently. Multi-strike moves generally have low base power and imperfect accuracy to compensate for the fact that they hit multiple times. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} only take the final hit of a multi-strike move into consideration.

==Effect==
===[[Generation I]]===
Multi-strike moves stop instantly upon breaking an enemy {{m|substitute}}. If an opponent is knocked out by a multi-strike move, the game does not state how many times the attack hit. Only the first hit of a multi-strike move could be a critical hit, but in such an event, all subsequent hits would also do double damage.

===[[Generation II]]===
The game now states how many times a multi-strike move hit if it knocked out an enemy. If a Pokémon's [[Focus Band]] activates against a hit of a multi-strike move, all subsequent hits will not knock it out. The [[King's Rock]] will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will flinch. Each individual hit of a multi-strike move has its own chance of being a critical hit, and if the first hit is a critical hit, it no longer makes subsequent hits deal that much damage.

===[[Generation III]]===
If a multi-strike move breaks a substitute (and didn't use the last hit to break it), the move continues, striking the Pokémon that was behind the substitute. If the target of a multi-strike move has an [[Contact#Abilities|Ability that activates upon contact]], each hit counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times. If such an Ability causes the Pokémon to fall asleep or freeze, the attack will immediately end without being fully executed. The number of hits is shown before the target faints.

===[[Generation IV]]===
A [[Focus Sash]] activated by a multi-strike move will protect the holder from the rest of the attack. Pokémon with the {{a|Skill Link}} Ability are guaranteed that any 2-5 hit multi-strike move they use will hit the full five times. The [[Razor Fang]] will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will flinch.

===[[Generation V]]===
The Focus Sash and Focus Band no longer protect the holder against multiple hits of a multi-strike move (unless the Focus Band activates multiple times). The newly upgraded {{a|Sturdy}} only activates against one single hit of a multi-strike move (provided said hit would have knocked out the target and that said target was at full HP to begin with). The Abilities {{a|Weak Armor}} and {{a|Justified}} are activated by each hit of a multi-strike move, while {{a|Sap Sipper}} is activated only once. The item [[Rocky Helmet]] is activated by each hit. The newly upgraded Ability {{a|Stench}} will take each hit into consideration when determining whether or not the opponent will {{status|flinch}}, and does not stack with the Razor Fang or King's Rock. The number of hits is now shown after the target faints.

===[[Generation VI]]===
{{a|Parental Bond}} turns all single-strike damaging moves (except moves that hit multiple Pokémon in battles with more than two Pokémon) into multi-strike moves that hit twice per turn. If a Pokémon uses a contact multi-strike move against another using {{m|Spiky Shield}} or {{m|King's Shield}}, these moves only cause damage or decrease {{stat|Attack}} once.

==List of multi-strike moves==
===2-5 strikes per turn===
Most multi-strike moves will hit an opponent two, three, four, or five times in one turn. These moves are more likely to hit two or three times, but will always hit five times when used by a Pokémon with {{a|Skill Link}}.

* Average power calculates the average total power from the move's power per hit and the average number of hits, ignoring the possibility of missing. Taking accuracy into account is as simple as multiplying average power by accuracy (modifiers to {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}}, including {{status|taking aim}} and {{a|No Guard}}, are not considered).

===2 strikes per turn===
Several multi-strike moves hit an opponent exactly twice in one turn. For the most part, these moves are found on fewer Pokémon, several of them being [[signature moves]], and generally have higher power than other multi-strike moves, as they only hit twice. Moves affected by {{a|Parental Bond}} become this type of multi-strike move.

|}

===3 strikes per turn===
Triple Kick works differently than other multi-strike moves. It can hit an opponent up to three times per turn, but its base power of 10 will increase by 10 with each subsequent hit, so its first, second, and third hits have powers of 10, 20, and 30, respectively. Also unlike other multi-strike moves, each hit has its own accuracy check, and if one hit misses, the entire move ends.

| class="c" | 10
| class="c" | 90%
| class="c" | 10
| class="c" | 47.07
|}
|}

*For Triple Kick, effective power is average power with all three accuracy checks taken into account (modifiers to {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}}, including {{status|taking aim}} and {{a|No Guard}}, are not considered).

==Trivia==
* {{m|Double Slap}} is the only multi-strike move with "double" in its name that can hit 2-5 times.
* {{m|Triple Kick}} is the only multi-strike move that powers up on each consecutive hit, and the only one in which subsequent hits can miss.
* From Generation IV onward, all multi-strike moves are [[physical move]]s.
* {{m|Beat Up}} is the only move that can hit the target more than five times per turn.

[[File:Triple battle.png|thumb|250px|right|A Triple Battle]]
A '''Triple Battle''' (Japanese: '''トリプルバトル''' ''Triple Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] featuring up to six Pokémon, with three Pokémon from each side battling at a time. It was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}} and was predominately showcased in White.

As the name suggests, Triple Battles are a type of battle where each Trainer sends out three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at once. Due to this, they can be considered the successor to [[Double Battle]]s, with the only difference seemingly being the number of Pokémon. However, there are some restrictions that differentiate the Triple Battle from its predecessor other than the amount of Pokémon, such as placement.

==In the games==
When a Triple Battle begins, Pokémon will be sent out in order. The first Pokémon able to battle in the [[party]] becomes the leftmost Pokémon on the field, the second becomes the center Pokémon, and the third becomes the Pokémon on the far right.

===Placement===
The placement of the Pokémon is a major attribute of Triple Battles, as a Pokémon's positioning affects how certain moves and Abilities work. Generally, Pokémon on the left-side of the field cannot attack any one on the right-side (including allies), and vice versa. This also means a Pokémon in the center is free to hit any Pokémon on the field, but at a cost of being vulnerable to every other Pokémon. 

There are some moves, however, that allow non-adjacent Pokémon to attack each other.

===Shifting===
{{redirect|Shift|bringing Pokémon back into their [[Poké Ball]] to send out another Pokémon|Recall}}
The Pokémon on the left and right have the option to 'shift'. This option allows the user to switch with the Pokémon currently in the middle. Shifting has no [[priority]] and none of the effects of switching apply to shifting. A Pokémon can move even if it is the last Pokémon on its team, but once in the center, it cannot move anywhere else. If the center Pokémon is readying to use a move on a certain target, but is then shifted before using its move, its attack will fail if the target is then outside of its range. When there are only two Pokémon left on the field and they are non-adjacent to each other, both Pokémon will automatically be shifted to the center of the field.

===Effect on moves===
Most [[move]]s have the same effect in Triple Battles as with single and Double Battles, except that they can only affect adjacent Pokémon. Moves that hit both opponents or all Pokémon in Double Battles only affect adjacent Pokémon in Triple Battles. All damage-dealing Flying-type moves (except {{m|Air Cutter}}), {{m|Flying Press}} and all {{cat|aura and pulse moves}} can hit any Pokémon on the battlefield; this targeting remains even if moves are changed to or from Flying-type. Moves that hit multiple Pokémon will have their damage reduced by 25%, unless all other Pokémon have fainted at that point, just like in a Double Battle.

The moves {{m|After You}}, {{m|Quash}}, {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{m|Ally Switch}}, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Rage Powder}}, and {{m|Aromatic Mist}}  will have no effect if not used in a Double or Triple Battle.

The moves {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Metal Burst}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, and {{m|Grudge}} all can be activated by, and attack, a non-adjacent opponent.

The move {{m|Flame Burst}} takes away 1/16 of the maximum HP of all adjacent allies of the target Pokémon. This damage is not treated as an attack.

The move {{m|Acupressure}}, while in a Triple Battle, can target an adjacent ally instead of the user.

The following moves act differently when used in a Triple Battle, as opposed to a Single or Double Battle.

===Effect on Abilities===
Most Abilities' effect remain the same and are not affected by the Pokémon's placement. For example, a {{a|Mold Breaker}} Pokémon on the left-side of the field which used {{m|Water Pulse}} can still damage a Pokémon with {{a|Wonder Guard}} on the right-side of the field. A {{a|Magic Bounce}} Pokémon can still reflect entry hazards even if the user of the entry hazard and itself are at opposite corners of the field because entry hazards affect the entire team.

However, some Abilities are affected by a Pokémon's placement, for example, {{a|Intimidate}} will only lower the {{stat|Attack}} of opposing, adjacent Pokémon on the field.

==In Pokémon Battrio==
{{incomplete|section}}
Triple Battling as a mechanic was introduced in [[Pokémon Battrio]], an arcade game using three Pokémon pucks on each side.

==In the anime==
[[File:Triple Battle anime.png|thumb|200px|right|Triple Battle in the anime]]
The first official Triple Battle was seen in the anime in episode ''[[BW053|A Maractus Musical!]]'', where {{Ash}} battled against [[Toby]]'s three {{p|Maractus}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS464|Black's First Trainer Battle]]'', {{adv|Black}} participates in a Triple Battle with a {{tc|Hiker}} named Andy.

===Pokémon Master Black and White===
In the second chapter, [[Monta]] was shown in a Triple Battle with [[Cheren]], using {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and {{p|Roggenrola}}. Cheren used {{p|Basculin}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Pansage}}.

==Trivia==
* The introduction of this form of battling keeps the pattern of every odd [[generation]], since [[Generation I|the first]], adding one more Pokémon to the maximum amount to be sent out at one time in a battle.
* {{m|Air Cutter}} is the only {{type|Flying}} damage-dealing move that cannot hit a non-adjacent Pokémon.
* In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', [[Jessie]] and [[James]] send out three Pokémon at once to battle Ash, the first unofficial Triple Battle in the anime series.

'''Flying Press''' (Japanese: '''フライングプレス''' ''Flying Press'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Hawlucha}}.

==Effect==
Flying Press deals damage and has no secondary effect. Despite being a {{type|Fighting}} move, the damage dealt is actually a combination of Fighting and {{t|Flying}} types, and thus its effectiveness against a given Pokémon differs from other Fighting-type moves (but only Fighting-type Pokémon can receive the [[same-type attack bonus]] on Flying Press).

If Flying Press is used while under the effect of {{m|Electrify}} or {{a|Normalize}}, damage is calculated using Flying type and {{t|Electric}} or {{t|Normal}} type modifiers instead.

If the target has used {{m|Minimize}}, Flying Press will never miss and its base power is doubled.

Flying Press can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.

"Additionally, in a Rotation battle, there is another glitch. If the opposing player rotates on the second turn of Sky Drop, the Pokémon will be dropped into their new rotated position and take no damage, while the rotated in Pokémon still gets to attack."
Does this that if the opposing player targeted your Pokémon with Sky Drop, and then rotates, this occurs? Or is it if they rotate after being targeted by your Sky Drop? It's made very unclear, and should be described in terms of "attacking Pokémon" and "targeted Pokémon" instead of the non-descriptive "opposing Pokémon". --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 00:07, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

==Legendary==
Are there any other non-signature or TM moves besides Sky Drop that more Legendary than non-Legendary Pokémon can learn?
I just think the ratio is weird, frankly at 9 Legendary to 7 "regular".
...Ordinarily, more moves can be learned by the majority non-Legendary Pokémon, yes?
I'm going to check shortly to see if there are any other moves like this.

:Well, I certainly haven't done every possible move and checked it, but here's what I've found. {{m|Aura Sphere}} fits this case too. {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} is currently tied between legendary and non-legendary, and was learned by more legendaries than non legendaries in Gen III. {{m|V-create}} also technically isn't a signature move, so I guess it counts (even though it isn't learned by any non-legendaries). {{m|Fly}} is also tied. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== In side games... ==

In ''[[Pokemon Conquest]]'', Sky Drop seems to ignore {{a|Levitate}}. It won't inflict any damage to fellow Flying types, but it does work on (for example) {{p|Gastly}}. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 23:14, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

== Glitch... or something? ==

When my Skarmory used Sky Drop on a Lilligant in the middle of a series of Petal Dances, after Lilligant was damaged, but freed, Lilligant stopped using the move - as if Sky Drop broke the chain. What I find strange, though, is that in the next turn (directly after the Lilligant used Teeter Dance, I'm sure), Lilligant became confused as if it had continued to use the move. I'm going to add this to the move's page for now, but is this some sort of glitch? '''[[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]]''' '''[[User talk:EvilKirikizan|speaking!]] 22:14, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

==Weight Limit?==

I was playing Y, going through the Battle Chateau with my Yveltal. I tried using Sky Drop on an enemy Wailord, and it said that it was too heavy to be lifted. This suggests that there's apparently a weight limit now, seeing as Wailord is among the heaviest Pokemon on record. I don't know if this is a new addition in Gen VI or what the exact specifics of the weight limit are. If I had to guess, perhaps it doesn't work if the enemy is heavier than the user, or maybe if it's heavier by a certain threshold. Anyone got anything on this? [[User talk:Bane Of Giygas|'''~ Bane Of''' '''GIYGAS''']]

Hi, I used sky drop in many pokemons to know this limit. In crustle this move doesn't work, its weight of 200 kg is so much to this move. I believe that 200kg is the limit, but remenber, it's follow my invastigation {{unsigned|Eadl}}

Someone tried to use this on my Lapras the other day. The limit is less than or at 220 kg. [[User:SoItBegins|SoItBegins]] ([[User talk:SoItBegins|talk]]) 21:12, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

:I agree with Bane of Gygas in that this could have to do with a weight comparison between attacker and target (by no real foundation other than past moves checking both weights and well, logic). By the way, my Venusaur has been lifted by Sky Drop; 80% sure it was as Mega Venusaur (342.8 lb). --[[User:Johans|Johans]] ([[User talk:Johans|talk]]) 04:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to add this to the move's page for now, but is this some sort of glitch? '''[[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]]''' '''[[User talk:EvilKirikizan|speaking!]] 22:14, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

==Weight Limit?==

I was playing Y, going through the Battle Chateau with my Yveltal. I tried using Sky Drop on an enemy Wailord, and it said that it was too heavy to be lifted. This suggests that there's apparently a weight limit now, seeing as Wailord is among the heaviest Pokemon on record. I don't know if this is a new addition in Gen VI or what the exact specifics of the weight limit are. If I had to guess, perhaps it doesn't work if the enemy is heavier than the user, or maybe if it's heavier by a certain threshold. Anyone got anything on this?

Hi, I used sky drop in many pokemons to know this limit. In crustle this move doesn't work, its weight of 200 kg is so much to this move. I believe that 200kg is the limit, but remenber, it's follow my invastigation {{unsigned|Eadl}}

Someone tried to use this on my Lapras the other day. The limit is less than or at 220 kg. [[User:SoItBegins|SoItBegins]] ([[User talk:SoItBegins|talk]]) 21:12, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

:Hypothesis: this could have to do with a weight comparison between attacker and target (by no real foundation other than past moves checking both weights and well, logic). By the way, my Venusaur has been lifted by Sky Drop; 80% sure it was as Mega Venusaur (342.8 lb). --[[User:Johans|Johans]] ([[User talk:Johans|talk]]) 04:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

== Gust and Twister ==

On this page stands that Gust and Twister also hit like Thunder while in the air. But the pages for [[Gust]] and [[Twister]] do not mention Sky Drop. What's right? - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 01:59, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

== Bestow? ==

The article implies that {{m|Bestow}} is an indirect form of consumption, possibly activating Symbiosis. However, a later paragraph says that Symbiosis won't trigger if an ally Pokémon's item is ''moved''. Doesn't Bestow ''move'' items, though? --21:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
