==Hello==
I'm having problems with adding content to my user page. On its page, for me the editing button is not there for some reason. And when I click "edit the top of the page" it tells me I don't have permission to edit on my page. It says I need to edit an article before I can edit my user page, I tried it, and it didn't work. --[[User:TheSilverBisharp|TheSilverBisharp]] 02:49, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
:You have to make a considerable amount of edits on the mainspace to be able to edit your userpage.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 02:54, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
What do you mean by "The mainspace?" --[[User:TheSilverBisharp|TheSilverBisharp]] 03:01, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
:Anything without the prefix "User:". Eg. [[User:Force Fire]] is the Userspace, ''User talk:Force Fire'' is the talk page, everything else is the mainspace.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 03:12, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the {{bp|mainspace}}. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 04:16, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
:You know we don't normally count stuff like prototype templates towards the limit (assuming they're not stuff like usertags)? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:02, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

== Wha ==

So why did you revert my Hyper Fang edit? They're two completely separate visuals so the section should show them both, like with, say, every other move with differences between 4th gen versions. -- [[User:Trainer Hunter|Trainer]] [[User talk:Trainer Hunter|Hunter]] -- 08:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
:I was assuming you was separating the two Gen IV images from the others not knowing that the DPPt image was not present before you edited it. Sorry.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 09:13, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
::Ah, a misunderstanding. Okay that's fine. Everyone makes mistakes, after all! Also I separated them because it [http://i40.tinypic.com/2mfn8qv.png looks kinda bad in 1280x1024]. I really should bring that up with an admin at some point, though. -- [[User:Trainer Hunter|Trainer]] [[User talk:Trainer Hunter|Hunter]] -- 17:41, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

== Howcome? ==

How come you got rid of the synopsis I was making on "Go!GO! LUDICOLO" you're just making the article the same as before.--[[User:Supermon|Supermon]] 12:47, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
:Umm, I didn't remove it. I just fixed a spelling error that you made. The edit you made is still there.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 12:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Nope! what I put on isn't there. If you thought I just added a sentence or too I was working on improving the WHOLE synopsis. But I forgive you.--[[User:Supermon|Supermon]] 22:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

:In an edit conflict, your text will appear in a window at the bottom of the screen. I'd say you've clicked save without realising and have therefore saved ForceFire's edit but lost your work. Its frustrating, I know, but there's nothing ForceFire could have done to prevent it. You'll just have to be more cautious next time - I recommend copying text into Word when doing major edits because that way you can't lose it.

==Yes==
I played up to that point in Crystal recently, and then saved so I could see if the Everstone would make a difference in the dialogue, and the NPC reacts as he would if Haunter is traded without the stone. [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] 10:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

So what do I have to do then? I tried it, I don't know how.--- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 10:11, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
:I actually have no idea what you're doing. To me, your just removing your comments by archiving.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

I only wanted to clear my discussion, so tell me what to do. - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 10:17, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

:Why do you want to clear your discussions, or rather, your talk page when there not much on it?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:20, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Because it looks better to me when clear as if only one uninteresting sentence is in it. I had never thought this would cause any problems. And as I already have 1 archieve page I thought I could put it easily in there but I don't know how. 
Ah, by the way, perhaps you have any answers on my questions right there? [[Talk:Magnet Rise (move)]], [[Talk:Soak (move)]], [[Talk:Poison Touch (ability)]]--- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 10:39, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
And this one, too. [[Talk:Sticky Hold (Ability)]] --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 10:50, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

== Cranidos ==

What?You mean to tell me that Cranidos isn't a Pokémon ? The timeline specifically says 2 million years ago the first Pokémon appeared as dated by archaeology. It cleary states that. Therefore I want you to give me the best reason why shouldn't that be added to trivia.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 10:29, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

:Cranidos may not be the first Pokémon, it may have just appeared through evolution and lived 100 million years ago. Just like how some dinosaurs appeared in the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods through evolution.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:40, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

::Well, since it said that Arceus created the Pokémon world them it implies the creation theory which obliterates the evolution theory.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 12:18, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
:::In that case, it could be said that Arceus created Cranidos 100 million years ago rather than merely 2 million years ago.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
::::Well, if you want that not to be added to the trivia it's fine for me, I just wanted to clearify what the timeline implied. Guess the anime producers don't take into account previous episodes.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 13:09, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

== Anime Pokémon evolving ==

You know, it would have been a lot easier to default to "still able to evolve" and only define "noevo" to "incap" where applicable. It's a bit late now though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:16, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
:I know, I just didn't change the default back cause I had already tested it on {{AP|Muk}}'s page and when I wanted to change it back, I figured it was too late anyway.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

== A few pieces of advice ==

Just a few things to note:
#Before making changes to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template:AnimePok%C3%A9monInfobox&diff=prev&oldid=1623393 massively used templates], get opinions from others and approval of the idea from a higher staff member. (Editorial Board member in charge of the section the template is used in would be preferred.)
#*This also includes drastic changes in style, even on [[Gym#In the games|hardcoded tables]]. Just because you dislike what we have, doesn't mean ''others'' will agree with the way ''you'' want to reformat it.
#Always make the default result of a switch the more common result that will be used. In the case above, most ''new'' captures have the possibility of evolution & the default should have been the original template default.
#If you want to edit multiple sections of a single page, you should do so by editing the entire page. Rather than making [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Recurring_wild_Pok%C3%A9mon_in_the_anime&action=history 5 edits to one page].
Please keep these things in mind. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 11:04, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

:#My apologies. I just thought that a minor addition wouldn't be too much of a hassle, which I was then proven wrong. I also would've went to an Editorial Board but I wasn't sure who was on at the time so I could get quick opinions.
:#*Like the above, I thought that because it was only minor and not everything about it was going to change that I shouldn't really get opinions. It was always going to have the same content and it was always going to look similar to what it was before.
:#Okay. Speaking of default, would you want me to change it or is it all too late?
:#That was just a matter of me rushing and not looking at what I was doing.
:Again, my sincerest apologies and I will make sure this won't happen again.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

== Linking within an article/page ==

I've looked through the BP manual of style and I've Googled it, but I can't figure out how to '''place a link''' in an article that links ''directly'' to a specific section of that article, in the same way that the '''contents box''' on each page does. How do I do this? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:poikins|poikins]] 17:51, March 13, 2012‎''
:I'm not sure if we actually have a link template that allows that, but if you want to link to a specific section of an article just do this: <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Trivia|like this]]</nowiki> which should link you to the trivia section of that article [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Trivia|like this]].--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

::Oh, I get it. Bit off-tangent, but at the same time, I saw this on the page you showed me: '''"When you have finished creating your archive, remember to remove the redirect that will now be found on your talk page so that new discussions can take place."''' → I don't quite understand what this is trying to say here. Could you help me out here? Thanks! Cheers, [[User:Haxorus|'''Hax''']][[User talk:Haxorus|'''or''']][[Special:MyContributions|'''us''']] 10:28, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Once you move your talk page to your archives, it will automatically become a redirect. Removing the redirect prevents people from being redirected to your archives if they want to start a discussion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Oh, I think I get it. So in other words, after I'm done, I have to go back to my original talk page, where the moving has caused it to become a redirect to the archive page, and empty its contents for people to initiate a new discussion?

:Yes. Except remove "preferably" in that last sentence - link(s) to the archives are necessary so that people know they exist. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:28, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

== Pokémon of the Day ==

Hey Force Fire, I really like the PotD box you have on your userpage. I was wondering if it's okay to use it? Thanks! - [[User:Poikins|poikins]] 05:23, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:Sure, go for it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:34, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Um, Force Fire, how do you put the PotD box on? I tried but I guess my userpage is really messed up. Thanks! [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 02:27, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

:The box is located [[User:Force Fire/PotD|here]]. Just copy and paste it into your userpage. Hope that helps.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a ton! On the side, how did TTE get a Black and White Pokémon of the Day box? Do you have to specifically make it yourself, with certain Pokémon that you can choose? Or is there some universal template that you can edit to your liking? [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 03:26, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I figured it out (somewhat). So I suppose you go to the part that says "mod 493" and change it to a limit of any number you want, so if you want to include Generation V Pokémon you make it "mod 649" and so on. Can you change the PotD specifically or is it pre-programmed? Thanks! [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 03:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

:Exactly. And yes, you can change it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:53, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

So how do you specifically choose which Pokémon to present each day, if that's how I understood you? Or does it just randomly generate it?[[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 00:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

:It randomly chooses a Pokémon.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:21, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh... Thanks anyway. --[[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 18:17, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

== Oh yeah ==

Oh yeah, I forgot all about the preview button. Oops. ^^;
Thanks for reminding me! I'll keep that in mind for next time! =)
Anyway, I think my edit looks great now. I hope everyone likes it. --[[User:PokemonTrainerLisa|PokemonTrainerLisa]] 09:11, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

== Reversions ==

Was there some sort of order to remove any edit I do? Because it seems I'm left out of any decisions and not told what I'm doing wrong based on the information I was handed to start with. All I'm trying to do is fix grammatical, spelling and other errors, remove untrue or unnotable statements, and get rid of redundancies. There's no debut for Pokemon debuts. We don't ask "Which Pokemon debuts debuted in this episode?" or "Is this their TV episode debut debut?"--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 05:44, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:What? I reverted it because "Pokémon Debuts" and "TV debuts" are more specific than just "Pokémon" and "TV episode"--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:46, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:Sandman, please assume good faith and try to refrain from taking things like edit reversions as a personal attack. {{bp|COC|Keep it civil, please.}} [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 05:49, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

==Episode Box==

How do you get the next episode box on the side of your userpage? My userpage got really messed up, so can you show me a template (that I can copy & paste)
that I can just use and edit my usertags in? Every time I try to use text & a userbox, it doesn't work. [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 00:57, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
:That can be found [[User:Force Fire/Infobox|here]]. Just copy and paste and change the contents to your liking.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:29, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

How do you type in the accented "e"? I can't always copy and paste, and I heard there was a way to type it in. --[[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 18:23, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

== A bit of help ==

As you posted something on my talk page, I wondered if I could ask you a question. I was trying to create a new page for the Diamond and Pearl guide however it said I did not have permission. It says in the FAQ about me not being able to edit my userpage but I did not here anything about creating pages. Is it because it says Appendix: before it as I could edit an article. If I cannot create a page, can I ask a senior member to create it with a PLACEHOLDER and allow me to edit it or would that be against the rules. I hope you can read this and can help me. [[User:MajesticRayquaza|MajesticRayquaza]] 14:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
:I believe you have to edit the main mainspace (anything without the <code>User:, User talk:, Appendix:</code> prefix) first before you can edit, or create for that matter, anything else.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not frustrated only with his edits, but with the majority of the new users' edits. Of course, I can not be a hypocrite and say that I am not a new user since I've joined this site on January this year, but still, God help me if I've made the mistakes some of them do.

I meant, look on the TPC page at the respective question, Heracross is exchanged with Beautifly.

Well, I need an actual definition of signature move and ability. Before you told me that, my definition in signature is only somebody could do so. KyleRGiggs 08:56, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:The definition of a signature move is a move where only one Pokémon can learn it by level. Meaning if other Pokémon can learn it by level, TM/HM, breeding or tutor, it is not a signature move.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:01, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::So that {{m|Volt Tackle}} is not a signature move, right? KyleRGiggs 09:09, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:::It's the same evolutionary though.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:11, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::::However, those three moves could be only learned by the fully evolved starters from Kanto. KyleRGiggs 09:14, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:::::Yes. but it can now be learned by all fully evolved starters. Who are not of the same evolutionary line as with the case of Volt Tackle.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::::::So it could be listed according to this criteria. Otherwise, all status of former signature move should be removed. KyleRGiggs 09:18, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Unless it was truly a signature move. Meaning the Pokémon and, if any, it evolutionary line were the only Pokémon to learn the move at the time (no breeding/TM/Tutoring), such as {{m|Glare}}.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:23, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

:::::::::Ah ok. Then it's just tutor and TM that disqualifies a Signature move.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:36, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

::Well, I don't wanna say that it's only available in BW, just that it's only an exclusive move in BW.

== Trainer's Choice ==
"Because" indicates causality. "As" indicates concurrency. For example, "I was late because my car wouldn't start," and "As I was making my way down the steps, I tripped and fell." The only other way "as" can be used is ''as'' "like," such as it was used in the middle of this sentence. "Due to" is the only acceptable alternative to "because" that isn't a wordy phrase. "Since" can only be used as a reference to a point in time ''or'' as an alternative to "because" ''only'' if both parties know the reason why. This is a wiki, so we don't assume, so "since" cannot be used as "because."
I liked how you reworded some of the entries, but I disagree with replacing "No choice" with "None of the other choices" (If the question is "Which has the advantage?" and none have the advantage, "no choice" is appropriate) and "Swampert is the best choice" with "Swampert would be the better choice" (There are 3 choices and Swampert is the only one not weak to Psychic; hence it's the best). --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 15:28, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for the lecture :D. I used "As" due to a lack of other words to use to substitute "because". I may have gotten overboard too as a few "because" is okay unless it isn't used in every single section (IIRC, using "because" a lot is unprofessional, at least what I heard).
:I felt "none of the other choices" would be more specific" and the Swampert piece, good point.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:12, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
::It is, but since (ah? see what I did there) we have only two ways to say this, we should try to reword the entries like you have, or be left to repeatedly use "due to," "because," and horrendously wordy phrases like "as a result of."
::Hmm, I get what you mean now. If we just finished saying that the "correct" answer is wrong, we should then refer to the others instead of the whole set, which is a break of context. I'd prefer to use "No other choice" just because I like conciseness. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 13:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
:::I guess we could try rewording it. Though I'm not sure how else to reword it to be honest :/. Sticking with the mixture of "because, "due to" and "as" would be the easier route though.
:::"No other choice", for me, implies that there are an infinite number of choices while "none of the other choices" implies that there are a few other choices available.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:48, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

== Move type template ==

Hello, I am Rocketslime_1_1, an admin from the Nintendo Wiki (Wikia).

I recently worked on making a template for said wiki that helps with the trainer party template, which automatically outputs the types of the pokemon moves and I plan on making a similar one for the category of the pokemon moves.

So I was wondering if Bulbapedia would be interested in these templates, as they would make it easier to fill out the Pokemon Trainer party templates and any other places that have a similar input function.

If Bulbapedia is interested in them I would be happy to provide them.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}

The Pokémon world is shown, as the camera zooms in on what looks like a graph of the inside of a computer chip, with Pokémon moving around inside and some scenes from earlier movies. In the sky, a lot of bird Pokémon and {{p|Lugia}} are flying around. Underwater, a lot of {{Type|Water}} Pokémon are swimming around, along with Kyogre. On the mountainside, several Pokémon are relaxing. Some {{p|Seedot}} are hanging out of a tree in the forest, as several forest Pokémon are playing around. On a grassy field as the sun sets, several Pokémon are playing around, as a {{p|Cresselia}} floats by. In the big city, several Pokémon are playing on a playground. A Pokémon Trainer that looks like he is from the games brings out a {{p|Magmortar}} to face a {{p|Rhyperior}}. Magmortar hits Rhyperior with {{m|Fire Blast}}. Rhyperior uses {{m|Rock Smash}} while Magmortar uses {{m|Fire Punch}}, creating an explosion. In the garden, {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Evolution|evolutions]] are relaxing and {{p|Luxray}} is playing around.

As the sun rises, {{Ash}} is shown getting ready for a Pokémon battle. {{AP|Pikachu}} uses Thunderbolt on {{p|Electivire}}. Ash and {{ashfr}} arrive at their next destination, which is surrounded by mountains and a lake. Through a forest, a {{p|Shaymin}} is walking through as several {{p|Combee}} fly above. Shaymin arrives at a lake and drinks from it, as a {{p|Dialga}} roars from a different area of the lake. In the [[Reverse World]], {{p|Giratina}} floats around, while a sphere shows Dialga from the regular world. From the regular world, a swirl in the lake shows Giratina from the Reverse World is shown floating around. From his airship, [[Zero]] observes the [[legendary Pokémon]]. As Dialga drinks from the lake, a portal opens as a shadow of Giratina in its Altered forme grabs Dialga, changes to its [[Origin Forme]] and forces it to enter the Reverse World as Shaymin looks on and is dragged along with them. Zero and [[Infi]] observe the whole thing. As Giratina is entering back into the Reverse World, it changes back to its [[Origin Forme]] and hits the ground with Shaymin holding on to Giratina. [[Newton Graceland]] and his {{p|Shieldon}} run up to the two Pokémon and uses an analyzer on his eye to watch the battle between them. As he zooms in, he notices Shaymin on Dialga's tail.

Giratina and Dialga struggle, as Dialga breaks away and tries to exit the portal, as Shaymin lands on top of Giratina after Dialga breaks free. Dialga is able to poke its head through the portal, but Giratina again pulls it back into the Reverse World. Dialga and Giratina fight each other, as Shaymin absorbs a dark purple gas. Dialga uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} which hits Dialga as Shaymin hangs in there. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp while Dialga dodges, and Shaymin is sent flying and uses {{m|Seed Flare}} to reopen the portal. Shaymin goes through the portal to the regular world, lands in the lake, and helplessly goes down the stream as Zero watches through his computer screen. Dialga again tries to enter the portal and is able to get its head through, but again Giratina drags it back into the Reverse World. Dialga uses {{m|Aura Sphere}} on Giratina and is able to finally exit the portal to the regular world. Giratina uses a clear beam from its mouth to reopen the portal, but a barrier is blocking it from exiting the Reverse World when it tries to exit. Giratina tries over and over to break through, but just cannot break through the barrier. Giratina's eyes glow red as it roars in frustration.

Dialga is free as the portal fully closes, leaving Giratina in the Reverse World. Dialga heads back to where it came from. Zero watches as Giratina continues to try to break through the barrier to exit the portal. Shaymin continues down the river and down the waterfall. With several {{p|Wingull}} on rocks, {{Ash}} looks out at the lake and then runs up the stairs to where {{an|Brock}} is making pancakes. Brock tells Ash that he must wash his hands, even though Ash pretends that he doesn't need to even with his dirty hands showing. {{an|Dawn}} was already washing her hands. Ash goes to wash his hands as Brock uncovers the [[Pokémon food]] to {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Dawn brings out {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}}, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Ash brings out {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Staravia}}, and {{AP|Buizel}}. Brock brings out {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}, and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}. As Ash and {{ashfr}} watch their Pokémon eat, Shaymin crawls on top of the table all covered in soot. Ash goes to eat the pancakes, but sees that Shaymin is eating the food already. Piplup tries to take the pancakes from it, but Shaymin keeps eating and accidentally bites down on Piplup's arm, making Piplup very upset. Shaymin shakes its body, making the soot blow everywhere and making everyone cough. Shaymin jumps on top of Pikachu, Ash's head while biting the hat, and then on top of the barbecue pit. It knocks it over as Brock was ready to use a pan if needed. Shaymin falls to the ground. The barbecue pit explodes as Shaymin absorbs the smoke from it and uses Seed Flare. The Seed Flare creates explosion sending everyone backwards and to the ground. Piplup yells at Shaymin, as the other Pokémon angrily approach it.

Dawn steps in to grab Shaymin before the Pokémon can attack, and brings it to the fountain to wash it off. Shaymin is completely cleaned as everyone looks on and it shakes off all of the water while splashing them. Shaymin reveals that it can communicate telepathically to everyone. Shaymin speaks of "that place" which no one understands what it's referring to. Shaymin turns red as it develops a fever, while Brock checks its forehead. Everyone returns their Pokémon to their {{Ball|Poké}}'s and heads to the [[Pokémon Center]]. At the Pokémon Center, [[Nurse Joy]] and {{p|Chansey}} are using a lamp-like scanner to check Shaymin's condition, as a computer shows the results of the scans. Brock puts on some glasses since Nurse Joy also wears them, and shows his love to her. Croagunk uses {{m|Poison Jab}} to stop him from continuing and drags him away. Dawn feeds Shaymin a brown piece of food. Ash introduces himself and Pikachu, as Shaymin blows smoke in his face. Nurse Joy explains how it absorbs dirty things, and lets them out with Seed Flare. Shaymin likes to make fun of Ash for not understanding what it's talking about. Ash was not pleased with how Shaymin was being so demanding. In another room, {{TRT}} listens in on the conversation about Shaymin. Shaymin jumps on top of Ash's head and makes him take it where it wants to go. Team Rocket closes the door to the other room, and decide that they want to steal Shaymin.

Ash and his friends head outside as Shaymin continues to pull Ash's head in different directions, while Ash is really upset about it. Dawn grabs Shaymin, as it blooms a few more flowers. Giratina senses that, and continues to float around the Reverse World. Shaymin leads everyone another direction through a garden by some triangle-shaped statues. The statues begin to ripple and Giratina is shown floating through on the reflection, as Shaymin senses that something is very wrong. [[James]] picks up Shaymin as Team Rocket tries to run off with it, but a portal opens from one of the triangle statues, and drags them into the Reverse World. Dawn grabs Shaymin from Team Rocket, but Dawn and Ash are also dragged through the portal and into the Reverse World. Brock looks on as the portal closes behind them. Ash and Dawn land on a stone pillar. Shaymin is very scared, as Giratina floats by. Giratina roars as Shaymin is even more scared and thinks that Giratina wants to eat it. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt as Giratina disappears into a shadow using {{m|Shadow Force}} and reappears right behind them. Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} which hits but is not very effective.

Newton Graceland appears out of nowhere in front of Ash and Dawn. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp, while Shieldon counters with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Newton leads them down a pathway that has no gravity, and then to a stairwell which they climb down. Piplup, Pikachu, and Shieldon follow them, but Piplup slips, and Pikachu has to grab him before he falls. Giratina continues floating around the Reverse World. Newton claims to be a Genius Scientist, while Dawn and Ash are skeptical and Shaymin mocks him. Ash and Dawn introduce themselves to Newton. Meanwhile Brock is looking at the statue they entered and is puzzled as to what could have happened to them. Newton shows them a device that can help them find the exit portal to the real world. At a different part of the Reverse World, Team Rocket is puzzled by the way the Reverse World looks. They hide behind a wall, as Giratina floats by them. As Ash, Dawn, and Newton are walking towards the portal, they see a purple smoke. Pikachu and Piplup approach the smoke, as Piplup breaths it in he gets sick from it. Newton tells them not to breathe in the smoke as it is very dangerous. More of the purple smoke appears above them. Newton explains that during the battle between Dialga and Palkia (in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'') caused purple smoke to enter the Reverse World and fill it, making Giratina very angry. It explains why Giratina attacked Dialga early on. The battling between Dialga and Palkia kept opening and closing the portal, which is why the purple smoke was able to enter and fill up the Reverse World. Flashbacks of Dialga and Palkia's battle, and what happened after Giratina dragged Dialga into the Reverse World were shown as Newton was explaining everything. Shaymin still doesn't like Newton. Flowers continue blooming on Shaymin's body. Giratina continues to float around, as Newton uses his device to locate the exit portal.

A bubble appears around Ash and his friends that shows Brock from the real world. Ash and Dawn call to him, but Newton yells at them not to do that. Ash touches the bubble which bursts and sends Brock flying backwards to the ground. They jump across one pillar to another as Giratina floats by. Shaymin pulls Ash to jump across the pillars because Giratina is nearby. Ash almost falls, as he hits the ground hard while Giratina grabs the Shaymin. Ash's hat had hit the ground and started shaking. The real Shaymin comes out of the hat, as they realize that it used {{m|Substitute}} to escape and left the fake in Giratina's mouth. The fake disappears to Giratina's surprise as it floats away. They head up the pathway and reach the portal. Piplup, Pikachu, and Dawn enter the portal and exit back into the real world. Ash asks Newton if he is coming with and he says that he is staying back. Ash enters the portal into the real world, after some convincing by Newton. The portal closes before Team Rocket could enter it.

[[Jessie]] tries to jump into where the portal closed up, but almost falls as Newton saves her. Giratina continues to float around as Zero watches on the screen. Dialga continues to head back to its own world. Ash tries to explain the Reverse World to Brock, as the statue shows Giratina floating around the Reverse World. Zero notices that Dawn is holding Shaymin and heads to where Ash and his friends are at. Shaymin continues to mock Ash about him getting frustrated with not knowing where Shaymin wants them to go. Some {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} show up and surround Ash and his friends, while Zero shows up with a {{p|Magnezone}}. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Magnezone blocks it with {{m|Mirror Shot}}. The explosion it created knocked out some of the Magnemite, as Ash and his friends run away into the alley. Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} to trap the Magnemite so that they won't be able to follow them right away. They pass by a few of the townspeople on the way through the alleyway. The Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone follow them as Ash and his friends board a train to not be seen. The Pokémon search around for them.

Ash and his friends are relieved that they got away from the Pokémon. Shaymin pulls on Ash's ear, which hurts him. Dawn feeds Shaymin some food as Shaymin jumps into her arms. Shaymin mocks Ash some more, making him mad as it blows smoke in his face. Ash yells at Shaymin for blowing smoke in to his face. They speak to some people on the train, as Shaymin jumps into another woman's arms and feels comfortable there. Three more flowers bloom on Shaymin's body. Giratina continues to float around the Reverse World. Newton and Team Rocket are hiding from Giratina, and when the coast is clear they keep on moving. A man on the train shows everyone a basket of [[Gracidea|Gracidea flowers]]. The people on the train explain that Shaymin transforms when exposed to Gracidea Flowers, found at the top of the mountain, where all of the Shaymin live. Inside of the train, a ripple is showing a Giratina floating around the Reverse World and the ripple disappears again. Shaymin inhales spores from the flowers and turns into its Sky Forme. Shaymin jumps on Ash's head, and then moves around the train. Everyone decides that they will help Shaymin return to its home.

Magnezone, Magneton, and Magnemite appear near the windows of the train after having caught up with the train. The Magnemite and Magneton break through the windows of the train and prepare to attack. Shaymin goes in the middle of the Pokémon, then floats away as two Magnemite collide with each other. Shaymin uses {{m|Energy Ball}} which hits several of the Pokémon and some leave the train. Two Magnemite try to attack, but Shaymin dodges and they collide with each other. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to send two Magneton out of the train. Two Magnemite attack Pikachu, but he dodges and they collide with each other. Piplup uses BubbleBeam to send the Pokémon out of the window. Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup uses Whirlpool to send more Pokémon away from the train. Two Magnemite try to attack Pikachu, but Shaymin uses Energy Ball to send them away. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send the rest of the Magnemite and Magneton away. Everyone jumps for joy after sending all of them away. Magnezone breaks through the train window and is stuck. Piplup uses BubbleBeam, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, and Shaymin uses Energy Ball on Magnezone to send it out of the window and hits the wall of the tunnel. The train enters the tunnel. The camera zooms out to show that the Magnezone, Magneton, and Magnemite have crashed into the wall of the tunnel.

As Wingull fly above the dock, Ash and his friends wave good-bye to the people from the train as they head off to Shaymin's home in a boat. Zero heads back to his airship to continue observing Ash and the others. The base is shown floating in the clouds. As the boat is headed towards Shaymin's home, the Pokémon play around, and the boat passes by some Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein. {{p|Lumineon}} and {{p|Finneon}} are also seen, swimming underwater. Everyone looks on as the {{Type|Water}} Pokémon jump in and out of the water. Shaymin floats all of the way to the sky and then back down to the boat. Piplup also tries to fly, but falls into the water. Piplup swims underwater, and then jumps in and out of the water. {{p|Staravia}} takes Pikachu into the air and flies around. Shaymin and Staravia fly together as Piplup jumps in and out of the water. Piplup tries again to fly but can't. The boat passes a rainbow and some waterfalls. Shaymin flies in and out of the waterfalls while splashing Ash. Shaymin grabs Ash and tries to bring him into the air. Shaymin and Staravia fly by some {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Swablu}}.

Back at Zero's airship, he is watching a video of Newton in the Reverse world as he is talking with Giratina floating around. As Ash and his friends continue down the river, a ripple appears in the water and pulls everyone down into the Reverse world, including their Pokémon. Zero arrives to where they are at with his Pokémon and enters the portal as well with his Pokémon before it closes. Ash and his friends land on a rock pillar. Giratina floats by, as Shaymin uses Energy Ball on it. Shaymin uses another Energy Ball, while Giratina hits back with Shadow Force which sends Shaymin towards a wall. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt which isn't very effective on Giratina, as Shaymin is able to avoid colliding with the wall. As the sun sets, Shaymin uses Energy Ball again on Giratina, but Giratina dodges it. Shaymin uses Energy Ball, but it transforms back into its Land Forme. Shaymin falls but Staravia was able to save it. Shaymin jumps back to Ash and his friends, but lands on Ash while knocking him down. As they run away from Giratina, Shaymin is on Ash's head. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Giratina dodges and uses Will-O-Wisp which everyone dodges.

Newton waves for them to follow him from an upside-down position. Ash and his friends follow him and are also walking upside down on the path and through a cave, as Giratina floats by. Ash recalls Staravia back to its {{Ball|Poké}}. Giratina continues to float around the Reverse World as Zero looks on with his Pokémon. In the cave, everyone runs into Team Rocket as they give some water to Newton. Ash asks why he is trusting them. Shaymin jumps off of Ash's head and mocks {{MTR}}. Meowth is upset and Shaymin blows smoke in his face. A couple of Magnemite grab Shaymin and take it to Zero. Ash and his friends reach Zero, but several Magnemite trap them so they cannot move. The Magnemite circle around and send the dangerous purple gas floating towards everyone as they hold their breath to not breathe it in. The Magnemite bring Shaymin inside of the purple gas and it absorbs the gas. Giratina continues to float around the Reverse World and heads towards Shaymin. Shaymin uses Seed Flare to create a major explosion sending everyone backwards as Giratina roars. The explosion causes the portal to reopen and pull everyone up to the real world. Shaymin is completely exhausted after using Seed Flare. Giratina follows them into the real world while looking like a pink shadow. As Giratina lands, it turns into its Altered Forme. Zero also enters the portal back into the real world along with his Pokémon. Zero's airship heads towards everyone and uses a red laser to prevent Giratina from moving. A red cage attached to the airship surrounds Giratina and traps it inside. The cage begins draining Giratina's energy. Zero jumps onto the cage as it heads back to the airship. The cage attaches to the airship while still draining Giratina's energy, as Zero jumps onto the airship.

The computer inside the airship displays Giratina and the amount of energy that was being drained. A red 3D diamond shape surrounds Giratina while draining its energy, as Ash and his friends look on. Newton tells everyone that Zero used to work under him until he became completely obsessed with Giratina's power and wanted to capture Giratina and drain its power. He became obsessed after seeing graphs of Giratina and how its possible to gather energy. This was shown in a flashback. Everyone boards a hovercraft car after Dawn places Shaymin on the ground. As Shaymin absorbs spores from the Gracidea Flowers, it turns back into its Sky Forme. Shaymin flies around before heading towards the airship, with Newton, Ash, and Dawn following it. Brock was left behind on the ground and he is very disappointed. Zero sends her Pokémon to go after Ash and his friends. Magnezone tries to hit Shaymin with {{m|Shock Wave}} as Shaymin keeps dodging. Shaymin uses Energy Ball which lands a [[critical hit]] on Magnezone. Magnemite and Magneton use Thunderbolt on Ash and his friends, while they keep dodging the attacks.

Zero goes inside of his airship, as Ash and his friends approach the airship. Piplup uses BubbleBeam, while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to try to break the cage that is surrounding Giratina. The attacks were unable to break the cage. The Magnemite and Magneton uses Thunderbolt on everyone, but Shaymin blocks the attack with Energy Ball. Magnezone uses Mirror Shot at Shaymin, while Shaymin dodges it. Magnezone tries Mirror Shot again, as it hits Shaymin and knocks it down towards the ground. Ash and his friends were able to grab Shaymin before it hit the ground. Piplup uses BubbleBeam, while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to attack the Magnemite and Magneton so that they can get through. They land on the airship, as Piplup uses BubbleBeam and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to hold back the Magnemite and Magneton. Shieldon uses {{m|Flash Cannon}} to make a hole in the entrance as they head inside. The computer screen shows that 50 percent of Giratina's energy has been drained. Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, and Buizel uses {{m|SonicBoom}} to hold off the Magnemite and Magneton. Buizel uses {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{p|Ambipom}} uses {{m|Swift}}, Piplup uses BubbleBeam, and Buneary uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to keep holding Magnemite and Magneton back. Shaymin uses Energy Ball to help hold them back as well. The amount of energy absorbed from Giratina reaches 74 percent by the time Newton reaches the computer.

The Pokémon continue attacking the Magnemite and Magneton, as Giratina keeps suffering inside of the cage. With a device from his backpack, Newton types on the keyboard of the keyboard while trying to shut down the energy draining of the machine. Zero's assistant lets her know that Newton is trying to end the energy draining. Newton finishes the typing and presses a red button to stop the energy drainage at 99 percent. The cage around Giratina disappears as it falls to the base of the cage. The engines of the airship were also shut down, as the ship heads towards the ground. The Pokémon are returned to their Poké Balls, as Ash and his friends jump on the hover car so that they do not crash to the ground with the airship. Everyone heads to check on Giratina, but it slips from the cage and falls in the water as Brock looks on. Zero sends a small ship into the water, and the airship crashes into the forest as the forest Pokémon run away from the ship. Giratina climbs out of the water and collapses to the ground, as Ash and his friends head to where Giratina collapsed.

Giratina appears to be dead, as everyone and the forest Pokémon gather around. Much to everyone's relief, Giratina takes a breath. Shaymin uses {{m|Aromatherapy}} to completely heal Giratina. Shaymin is exhausted, and Giratina roars after being completely healed. Shaymin hides behind Ash since it is still fearful of Giratina. Ash and Pikachu tell Giratina that they saved its life. Giratina is very thankful for everything Ash, his friends, and the Pokémon did for it. Shaymin no longer fears Giratina. In the small ship that went into the water, Zero comes out of the water and head towards everyone. Zero sends an attack towards Giratina, as Giratina counters with Will-O-Wisp. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, Piplup uses BubbleBeam, and Shieldon uses Flash Cannon towards Zero's Ship, while only Flash Cannon makes contact with the ship. Zero uses some airwaves to reopen the portal, and uses it to enter the Reverse World.

After Zero enters the Reverse World, Team Rocket notices him, and tries to flag him down so that they can escape back to the real world. In one of the crystals of the Reverse World, Zero sees Ash and his friends. Zero destroys the crystal with Ash and his friends. The breaking of the crystal sent a shock wave that knocked everyone to the ground. Giratina uses a clear beam from its mouth to reopen the portal, and enter the Reverse World. Ash jumps into the hover car, and heads into the portal to the Reverse World as well. Zero moves through the purple smoke and continues moving through the Reverse World. Zero begins breaking the ice crystals in the Reverse World which have an effect in the real world. A glacier breaks apart and slides down towards the [[Ten'i Village]]. In the temple, a {{p|Regigigas}} wakes up during the commotion. Zero continues breaking ice crystals, while in the real world the glaciers keep breaking. A herd of {{p|Mamoswine}} notice the glaciers heading towards the village. A glacier is moving through the lake as Zero watches what's going on. Zero continues to break ice crystals, as Giratina floats by and uses Will-O-Wisp to hit the ship. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Shaymin uses Energy Ball to also hit the ship. Giratina roars at the ship.

In the real world, {{p|Swinub}} uses {{m|Ice Shard}}, Buneary, {{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Furret}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} all use Ice Beam to freeze the lake to be able to stop the glacier from moving. Giratina uses {{m|Shadow Claw}} on the ship, but Zero pushes it against a wall. Zero attacks Giratina with his ship, while Giratina dodges and uses Will-O-Wisp to hit the ship. Ash pulls up next to Zero. Shaymin and Turtwig use Energy Ball, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, and Chimchar uses Flamethrower on the ship. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp on the ship. The Ship attacks and Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp, as both attacks create an explosion. Meanwhile, back in the real world, the glacier begins to break through the ice barrier that the Pokémon created. Newton recalls that it has happened before. Buneary uses Ice Beam and Swinub uses Ice Shard to try to stop the glacier, but it keeps on going. Regigigas appears on the top of the mountain, along with many Mamoswine that it has summoned. On the other side of the mountain, even more Mamoswine arrive as well.

Back in the Reverse World, Zero attacks Giratina with his ship, as Giratina hits the ground. Zero attacks with his ship again, as several ice pillars land on top of Giratina. Ash calls Giratina's name. Regigigas and all of the Mamoswine try to hold back the large glacier. It keeps moving even when they push it back. Regigigas uses {{m|Crush Grip}} on the glacier to try to hold it back. Meanwhile, back in the Reverse World, Zero tries to finish off Giratina with another attack, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt collides with it and creates an explosion. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, Shaymin uses Energy Ball, and Chimchar uses Flamethrower to attack the ship. Zero hits Ash and his Pokémon with part of the ship, and knocks them off of the hover car and onto his ship. Zero uses gripping claws to grab Turtwig and Chimchar, as Ash and Pikachu run away from them. Ash is cornered, as the claws come towards him. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Shaymin uses Energy Ball to destroy them. Ash recalls Turtwig and Chimchar to their Poké Balls to get them out of the grip of the claws. Zero shows himself to Ash, as Pikachu gets ready to use Thunderbolt on him. Giratina is still stuck underneath the ice pillars, as the purple smoke floats by with Team Rocket looking on. Zero closes his ship door, as he takes the ship into the purple smoke. Ash and Pikachu try to not breathe in the smoke, as Shaymin steps in to absorb the smoke.

Back in the real world, Regigigas keeps trying to hold back and stop the glacier with Crush Grip. In the Reverse World, enough of the purple smoke has cleared, so that Ash and Pikachu are able to breathe again. The claws go after Pikachu and Shaymin again, as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send them back. Giratina grabs part of the ship and tries to bring it to the ground, but Zero uses a beam to attack Giratina. Shaymin uses Seed Flare to reopen the portal so that they can reenter the real world. Zero tries to attack Shaymin with his ship, but Shaymin was able to hit it with Seed Flare to stop the attack. The portal opens as Team Rocket holds on to the ground, and Ash holds onto the ship so that they do not fall. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp on the ship as it goes through the portal, and crashes onto the ice in the real world. Mamoswine and Buneary use Ice Beam, and Swinub uses Ice Shard to freeze the ship in place. The whole ship shuts down. Shaymin goes through the portal into the real world, and crashes down onto the ice. Shaymin flies into the air, turns into its Land Forme, and falls into Dawn's arms. The portal closes, as Team Rocket, Ash, and Giratina are still trapped inside of the Reverse World.

Ash rides on Giratina, as they float around the Reverse World. Giratina uses its powers to restore the ice pillars back to the way they were. In the real world, the glacier finally stops in its place. A portal opens up in the real world, as Giratina and Ash come through into the real world and Ash waves to everyone. Shaymin turns back to its Land Forme after coming into contact with the ice. Giratina comes down onto the ice, as Ash jumps off to be with his friends. Giratina roars and flies high into the sky, as Newton uses a gadget of his to analyze it. Later on, many more Shaymin appear in the field of flowers. As the sun rises, the Gracidea Flowers bloom as the other Shaymin turn into their Sky Forme and fly into the sky. Shaymin cries as it enters the field of Gracidea Flowers and turns into its Sky Forme, as it flies high into the sky. The flower petals go flying as the Shaymin circle around in the sky. The Shaymin fly over everyone's heads and head far off into the distance. Ash and Dawn tear up as they say their final good-byes to Shaymin.

During the credits, pictures of Ash and his friends sending Gracidea Flowers and heading off in a bot. Regigigas was shown looking over the ice-covered area as the Mamoswine run around. Ash and his friends made it onto the dock, as Ash catches up to Pikachu while he was running. Zero's ship is unfrozen, as Newton helps him out of the ship, and [[Officer Jenny]] arrests him. The delivery man is shown delivering the Gracidea Flower gift baskets to everyone's families. Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone were floating around the tunnel, and Lairon was on the ground around them. Team Rocket is shown to be back in the real world, as they walk by the temple and Regigigas attacks them which blasts them off. Shaymin is shown sleeping prior to the sun rising, and then it turns into its Sky Forme as soon as the sun rises. Ash and his friends head off to their next destination in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==Events==
[[File:Shaymin distro08.png|thumb|Shaymin distribution artwork]]
===Pre-order distributions===
Fans who pre-order their tickets in Japan were allowed to obtain a Regigigas knowing {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, and {{m|Icy Wind}}, moves that represent {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}, respectively. These were later made available at Toys "R" Us stores in America. These Regigigas allow players to obtain Registeel, Regirock, and Regice in Platinum, which, in turn, allow them to obtain a level 1 Regigigas in Platinum as well.

===Movie distributions===
Fans could obtain Shaymin in theaters in Japan and at Toys "R" Us stores in America. These allow players to obtain the Gracidea Flower to change Shaymin into its Sky Forme.

==Soundtrack==

==Reception==

It took second place in the Japanese box office from its release during July 19-20, where 982,000 people spending ¥1,018,770,000 (US $9,463,400) and was beaten by ''{{wp|Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea}},'' which 1,251,107 people spent ¥1,575,820,000 (about $14,638,000) to see.

It is tracking at 89.8% of the box office performance of the last year's Pokémon film, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' (Japanese ''Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai''), which eventually earned a franchise record of ¥5.02 billion (US $47 million).

==Trivia==
* The ending theme song for the movie is ''[[ONE]]'' by [[Crystal Kay]] while the English dub ending song for the movie is ''[[This is a Beautiful World]]'' by Aaron Brotherton.
* This movie is the first time the Pokémon anime in any form is presented in an {{wp|high-definition television|HDTV}} format in addition to {{wp|standard-definition television|standard definition}} in its initial airing.
* This is the first movie to have the introduction credits take place during the title sequence.
* This is the first movie to be a sequel of a previous movie. Although ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' is a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', it is an anime special rather than a Pokémon movie.
* This movie marks the first time that [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]] and [[Johanna|Dawn's mother]] appear in a movie, and the first time {{Delia}} appears in a movie since ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* This movie marks the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{p|Mew}} made a second appearance after ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the {{p|Dialga}} in this movie is the same one that battled with {{p|Palkia}} over [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
** This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film.
* Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} and Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Palkia doesn't have a role in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. It only makes a cameo in a flashback. This marks the second time that a Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (one of whose posters showed {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
* The mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' are seen again making a cameo in this movie.
* {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Brendan}} make a cameo in the opening of the movie, battling with {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}, respectively. This may reference the meeting of their female counterparts, who battled in the finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
* The movie shows {{p|Eevee}} and all the [[Eeveelution]]s ({{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}}) during the opening sequence.
* While marketed as a Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl movie, the series logo has the katakana for ''Platinum'' added to the bottom.
* The Japanese release of this movie was also added to the {{wp|Guinness World Records}} for greatest advance sales for an animated film after pre-sale ticket counts totaled 2,384,198 in Japan.
* The English promotional image prior to the US DVD release has an error; Giratina's face is missing a line from its eye to its nose.
* The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - {{wp|Sognefjorden}} (the second largest {{wp|Fjord}} in the world), {{wp|Jostedalsbreen}} (the largest glacier in Europe), and {{wp|Bergen}} (the second largest city in Norway). The scene with the Glacier threatening to destroy the town was based on a little town of {{wp|Geiranger}}, where it's threatened by a collapsing mountainside.
* Despite it being released in [[Generation I]], this movie is the first time any Pokémon has used {{m|Substitute}}.
===Errors===
* When Ash and Dawn are pulled into the Reverse World for the first time, Piplup's arms are the same color as its head and "cape".
* When Piplup attempts to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} on Giratina, Shaymin's flowers are a dark purple (the color they become when Shaymin absorbs pollution).
* When Shaymin is about to approach Meowth, a few frames show its front paw has three toes instead of two.
* During a scene in the Reverse World when Shaymin is in its Sky Forme, it uses its Land Forme's voice.
* When the last {{p|Magneton}} leaves the train to escape out the window, it uses the voice of a {{p|Magnemite}}.

'''Fissure''' (Japanese: '''じわれ''' ''Fissure'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM27]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fissure has 30% accuracy and inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Fissure will break a {{m|substitute}} if it hits, and can be countered for infinite damage when it does so.

Fissure will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed.

===Generation II and onward===
Unlike in Generation I, Fissure can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Fissure depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user - level of target) + 30)%. Fissure ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.

===Mystery Dungeon===
Fissure will cause a Pokémon to instantly faint through 'calamitous damage', regardless of level, but is prone to missing.

'''Magnitude''' (Japanese: '''マグニチュード''' ''Magnitude'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ground}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
Magnitude does not have a set base power. Instead the base power of this move varies on a magnitude scale between four and ten.

In the games, this attack will randomly choose a magnitude between four and ten, with four having the least power and ten having the greatest. Magnitude will double in power if the opponent is in the underground stage of {{m|Dig}}.

Base power varies as follows:
{| align="center" style="background: #{{ground color light}}; {{roundy|10px}}; border: 3px solid #{{ground color}}"
|- align=center
! Magnitude
! Power
! Probability
|- style="background:#FFF;"
|4 || 10 || 5%
|- style="background:#FFF;"
|5 || 30 || 10%
|- style="background:#FFF;"
|6 || 50 || 20%
|- style="background:#FFF;"
|7 || 70 || 30%
|- style="background:#FFF;"
|8 || 90 || 20%
|- style="background:#FFF;"
|9 ||110 || 10%
|- style="background:#FFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | 10||150 || style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | 5%
|}

Its effective power for statistical purposes could be considered as the average power, 71.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
Magnitude deals 5 damage at Magnitude 4, and 8 additional damage for each order of magnitude. Weakness, resistance and {{a|Levitate}} all affect damage.

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

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

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[Weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza is a large, mostly green, serpent-like creature with red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow rings-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed carpals, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them. Rayquaza has a prominent gumline, with only two discernible fangs on the tip of its upper snout; the other teeth seem to be covered completely by gum tissue. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, which resemble those of both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

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

===Special abilities===
It is notable for its ability to [[trio master|soothe]] the other members of the [[Weather trio]] if they ever fight. Rayquaza is capable of shooting various elemental attacks from its mouth, which are incredibly destructive in power. Rayquaza can also {{a|Air Lock|completely negate the effects of the weather}}. Because of its slim and coiling structure, Rayquaza can also fly at blinding speeds and maneuver with ease despite its large size. It is also noted for its ability to fly so high into the atmosphere that it can become completely invisible from the ground. Also, since Rayquaza is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}. It can also learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} naturally, and learn {{m|Giga Impact}} via the [[TM]].

===Behavior===
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only on certain locations to rest. It is extremely territorial and will attack any intruders of its home, going to great lengths to destroy them. Due to the fact that it can calm the other members of [[Weather trio|its trio]], it can be seen to be considered a leader.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Rayquaza usually lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may come to rest on the [[Sky Pillar]], [[Sky Tower Summit]], [[Sky Stairway]], or in the [[Embedded Tower]]. Its favorite air component is {{wp|ozone}}, and it is known to discharge the component when it hibernates.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza consumes water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza movie 7.png|thumb|275px|right|Rayquaza in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]====
{{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} first appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====Other====
A real Rayquaza appeared in its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', where it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship Ash and {{ashfr}} and Team Rocket were on, presumably protecting its territory.

===Minor appearances===
A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning introduction of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where it ended up captured by Team Rocket operatives.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Rayquaza appeared under ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

A Rayquaza had a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:PS261.png|thumb|Rayquaza in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Tower]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again, and has not been seen since.

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands on the lake portion of the smash world, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious for being disrupted. Just as it is about to eat him {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} then ejects out of his ship, which had already been crashed and destroyed by Rayquaza, and deflects Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at it.

Rayquaza collapses into the water, but not for long, as it launches back out, engaging in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong. Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles after the storyline is beaten. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Tail Whip}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

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

===NPC appearances===
[[File:RayquazaSSBB.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* {{ga|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
* In Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza appears to use {{m|Hyper Voice}} to calm down Groudon and Kyogre at Sootopolis. Rayquaza couldn't learn it in any Generation III game, but this was rectified in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} versions.
* Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Rayquaza is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] [[legendary Pokémon]].
** This might be because of its length, as like any other snake-shaped Pokémon.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the {{Ho|Elite Four}}. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
* It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** However, in Pokémon Emerald the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
* Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[type]].
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat total]] of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[creation trio]], as well as {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, all have 90-100-100-120-120-150.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that does not have a [[signature move]].
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|15th anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[version mascot]]s of the [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, making it Japan's favorite version mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in {{g|Team Turbo}} in every possible instance.
* Rayquaza is similar to {{p|Giratina}} in that both were the version mascot in a third non-remake game of it's generation (Rayquaza with {{game|Emerald}} and Giratina with {{game|Platinum}}), both are part Dragon-type legendaries with a base stat of 680 and both were revealed to be related to the other members of [[weather trio|their]] [[creation trio|respective]] trio.

===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from other creatures of myth such as the {{wp|Asian dragon}} and ''{{wp|lindworm}}''.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=dragon|type2=flying

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking in an area called [[Grampa Canyon]] when they see a large group of people walking with picks and shovels. {{Gary}} appears and explains that he and the group are here for the Fossil Rush, because of a great 'Pokémon Discovery'. Ash resolves to join in, so as to embarrass Gary by finding a [[Fossil]] before he does. {{an|Jigglypuff}} also appears, ready to {{m|sing}}, but the group leave without noticing it.

Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} soon find a large area of the canyon where many people, including Gary, are digging. However, they also stumble across [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]], who reveal (accidentally) their plan to blow up the canyon and steal all the Fossils. As {{MTR}} lights the fuse, Ash runs up to Team Rocket, and sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} in an attempt to put the flame out. Squirtle, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Ash chase the fuse, trying to put it out; [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth (along with {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}) try to stop him. Team Rocket then fall and start rolling, resulting on a ball of people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rolling into Ash, landing right beside the dynamite. As the fuse draws near to the dynamite, Pikachu panics and uses {{m|ThunderShock}}, causing the dynamite to detonate. Ash, Pikachu, Jessie, James, Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing are now trapped in an underground cave, and only Squirtle escapes from the rubble. Hearing the explosion, Misty and Brock run to the pile of rubble and start digging out rock and soil with Squirtle.

In the cave, Ash, Pikachu, Team Rocket, and their Pokémon begin arguing over whose fault it is that they're down there. The group is soon confronted by Fossil Pokémon that they do not recognize. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]], and the Pokémon are revealed to be {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. Jessie and James begin to speculate that the explosion must have awakened them from thousands of years of sleep. Regardless, Team Rocket begin to contemplate stealing the Pokémon for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}, and attempt to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] them by throwing {{ball|Poké}}s at the Fossil Pokémon. A Kabutops blocks the balls, and they are rebounded at Meowth. All of the Fossil Pokémon start approaching the group to attack, so Ash sends out his {{AP|Charmeleon}}, but it refuses to help. A chase scene ensues, where the Fossil Pokémon are winning the chase. Then, all of a sudden, the Pokémon run away deeper into the cave. Originally confused, the group soon realize why the Pokémon ran off: an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swoops in, knocking over Charmeleon. Angry, Charmeleon tries to attack the Aerodactyl, but is knocked out before it gets a chance. Aerodactyl then grabs onto Ash with its claws, and begins to fly towards the surface. Before the [[Flying (type)|flying Pokémon]] can get too far, Pikachu and Charmeleon jump on board.

Back above ground, [[Brock's Geodude]] had finally dug a hole through the rubble. The Aerodactyl flies out of the hole in the ground, dropping Pikachu and Charmeleon on its way out, and perches on a cliff with Ash still in hand. Charmeleon wants to {{pkmn|battle}} the Aerodactyl as Aerodactyl had earlier annoyed him, but the Aerodactyl just taunts it. The anger this causes Charmeleon seems to make it [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{AP|Charizard}}. Ash is happy as he thinks that Charmeleon has evolved to rescue him, but then realizes he merely wants to battle Aerodactyl for his own pride and has no thought of rescuing Ash.

Meanwhile, Misty sees {{an|Jigglypuff}} and tells it to sing to make Aerodactyl fall asleep. Jigglypuff agrees and quite happily sings, of course sending everyone in the canyon to sleep. Aerodactyl, now asleep, falls into the rubble, dropping Ash before falling. However, Charizard manages to stay awake by covering its ears and catches the sleeping Ash before he hits the ground, but falls asleep anyway once landing on the ground. Jigglypuff, seeing everyone has fallen asleep, draws markings all over everyone's faces with its marker out of anger. After awakening, Officer Jenny announces that the whole thing was a dream caused by Jigglypuff's song, although Ash knows it wasn't.

As Ash and the gang leave, Ash reveals that he had found a [[Pokémon Egg]] at the site, causing the trio to fight playfully about who should get to raise and keep the Egg. Brock takes the Egg and runs away, promising to "take good care of it", with Ash and Misty in tow. Meanwhile, Team Rocket and their Pokémon are still trapped in the cave, with the sleeping Fossil Pokémon only feet away.

==Trivia==
* There are two possible {{wp|Indiana Jones}} references in this episode; [[Gary Oak]]'s digging clothes are very similar to Indiana Jones's clothes and when Ash is attempting to put out the fuse lit by Team Rocket, they roll into a boulder, similar to ''{{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}''.
* The events of this episode will be recounted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', as it turns out that [[Todd Snap]] happened to be in the area so he took a picture of the {{p|Aerodactyl}} as it was flying off with Ash.
* This marks the second time that Ash had two Flying-types in his party simultaneously. That hadn't happened since ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]'' and won't happen again until ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]''.
* Two books are at least partially based on this episode. ''{{book|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon}}'' is a standard book in the novelization series; however, there is also ''{{DL|Pokémon Adventure Series|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon}}'' in the Adventure series.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 3: Charizard'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* A shot of Aerodactyl performing an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'', which involves pulling its eyelid down and sticking out its tongue at the same time, is still present in the dub, despite similar shots being removed from ''[[EP006|Clefairy And The Moon Stone]]'' and ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''.

===Errors===
* When Gary comments on Ash being a "loser", his eyelid is white with his eye.
* When the camera is panning over all of the Pokémon to show their red eyes, Kabuto has the colors of its claws and shell swapped.
* Pikachu uses an {{t|Electric}} attack on Kabutops; however, the Kabutops is unaffected as if it were a {{type|Ground}}, despite Kabutops being a {{t|Rock}}/{{type|Water}} and weak to electric attacks. This is most likely because during the first season it is often incorrectly stated that Rock Pokémon are immune to Electric attacks.
* When Charizard fires his Flamethrower at Aerodactyl, the part of his wings that were previously blue turn yellow.
* When Ash rolls onto the [[Pokémon Egg]], all of the shapes are red, instead of half red and half blue.

===Dub edits===
* The sign at the beginning of the episode states the name of the canyon in the Japanese version. In the dub, the sign is a picture of a pick-axe and shovel.
* The point where Meowth actually lights the fuse is cut in Kids' WB! version of the dub. Instead, the camera zooms in to Meowth's face so the lighter isn't seen. This scene aired uncut on the VHS and DVD versions.
* When digging through the rocks, Misty says Ash had better not die on her. In the dub, she reminds him that he still owes her a bike.
* The dub hints that Pokémon need to defecate upon mention of fossilized Pokémon manure. However, in the original version, the Fossil in question was just an ammonite Fossil.

Helix Fossil

2012-09-06T18:56:24Z

KetchumsKetchup: /* In the anime */

[[File:Bag Dome Fossil Sprite.png|frame]]
[[File:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png|frame]]
The '''Dome Fossil''' (Japanese: '''こうらのカセキ''' ''Carapace Fossil'') and '''Helix Fossil''' (Japanese: '''かいのカセキ''' ''Shellfish Fossil'') are [[Fossil]]s which can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

==In the games==
[[File:Helix Fossil artwork.png|thumb|right|Helix Fossil artwork from Generation I]]In the Generation I and III games, the Dome and Helix Fossils are [[key item]]s found in [[Mt. Moon]] after defeating a {{tc|Super Nerd}}. While both are present, {{player}}s are allowed to choose only one, as the other one will be taken by the Super Nerd. If brought to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively. The Pokémon extracted from the Super Nerd's Fossil is seen in the zoo just outside the {{safari|Kanto}}.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, they are no longer key items, being demoted to simply items. They can be found by mining in [[the Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. Helix Fossils are more common in Diamond while Dome Fossils are more common in Pearl. If brought to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. The Dome Fossil is exclusive to SoulSilver while the Helix Fossil is exclusive to HeartGold. If brought to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

In {{2v2|Black|White}}, a {{tc|Worker}} in the [[Ice Rock]] room of [[Twist Mountain]] hands out a random Fossil from previous generations, including the Dome and Helix Fossils, once per day. If brought to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|right|250px|A Dome Fossil in the anime]][[File:EP089.png|thumb|left|200px|Dome Fossils in the anime]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dome Fossils are seen in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]''. They make up the structure of an island, and are revived into Kabuto in red moonlight, causing the whole island to collapse and sink.

A Dome Fossil made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' during a visual representation of [[Roark]]'s love of Fossils in an argument with [[Byron]].

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a Dome Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to Ash and {{ashfr}}. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.
{{left clear}}

==In the TCG==
Both Fossils appear on the artwork for the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the Fossil of a {{p|Kabutops}}, Kabuto's evolution, rather than of a Kabuto. The two Fossils were later split off into their own individual cards.

Mystery Part

2012-09-06T16:06:48Z

KetchumsKetchup: /* Trivia */ new section

[[File:MDBag Mystery Part Sprite.png|thumb]][[File:MDBag Secret Slab Sprite.png|thumb]]
The '''Mystery Part''' (Japanese: '''なぞのパーツ''' ''Puzzle Part'') and '''Secret Slab''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのせきばん''' ''Secret Lithograph'') are functionally identical items that appear in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. When one is in the bag, certain [[legendary Pokémon]] will appear on preset dungeon floors. They only appear after the player and their partner have recruited {{p|Manaphy}} and he tells them about the [[Marine Resort]]. The English translation of the Japanese names for Secret Slab and Mystery Part are Secret Slab and Enigma Part.

The Mystery Part and Secret Slab are obtained as rewards from random missions, such as the one in the following Wonder Mail password:
:X-HY NSM8 6&3&
:2Q&P 520# 7WQ8
:Objective: Rescue {{p|Typhlosion}} on floor 7 of [[Treeshroud Forest]].

For Explorers of Sky, here is a Wonder Mail S Code:
:Q@M=X QYC7R9S X@R67
:5%@KM 5R#6J%8 65NP@
:Objective: Prospect with {{p|Rotom}} on floor 1 of [[Beach Cave]].
Note: Rotom also joins the party, however, the player may decline.

Only one of each legendary species can be obtained.

Seven Treasures

2012-09-05T17:00:19Z

KetchumsKetchup: /* Trivia */

[[File:Seven Treasures Guardians.png|thumb|240px|The Seven Treasures and their Guardians]]
The '''Seven Treasures''' (Japanese: '''７つのひほう''' ''Seven Treasures'') are items in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] given to {{player}}s after they defeat the Guardians in seven secret dungeons. They are all based on musical instruments.

The only ways in which players can access these dungeons is by being granted the "{{DL|Rank|Time, Darkness and Sky Exploration ranks|Secret Rank}}" by rescuing {{p|Scizor}} from {{p|Froslass}} in [[Crevice Cave]], and then entering the correct [[Wonder Mail]] codes or downloading the missions via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Due to this, the missions can actually be obtained twice. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] however, the mail can be obtained by being received in [[Spinda's Café]].

Before players fight one of these secret bosses, it will address their [[team]] as the "Seekers of the Seven Treasures!" and then challenge them. Upon the defeat of a boss, the player will obtain its respective Seven Treasure. After winning them from the bosses, the Seven Treasures may be sold, unlike many other rare items in the game. The bosses may also join the player's team. After the recruitment of a boss, additional copies of its respective Treasure are obtained whenever the player reaches the end of that boss' dungeon. The player cannot reach the interior of these dungeons (where the treasure and bosses are) while completing missions inside the dungeon.

Each of the treasures [[Recruitment#Recruitment-affecting items|increases the recruitment rate]] by 10% for Pokémon of its respective type. Grass Cornet increases the recruit rate for {{t|Grass}} types, the Fiery Drum for {{t|Fire}} types, and so on.

==Trivia==
* [[Pokémon.com]] initially misspelled the Fiery Drum as the Firery Drum.
* Only the Rock Horn and Grass Cornet do not affect the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} ({{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Mew}} respectively) guarding them.
* Every member of the [[weather trio]] guards [[Kyogre (Pokémon)|o]][[Groudon (Pokémon)|n]][[Rayquaza (Pokémon)|e]] of the Seven Treasures.

'''Seaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アズマオウ''' ''Azumao'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Goldeen}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seaking resembles a {{wp|koi}} or {{wp|goldfish}}, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It has a billowing {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with fins|tail fin and similar pectoral fins}}, all of which are white with black speckles. Along its back, there is another small fin that is pure white. It also has a small to medium sized horn on its head, two big dark eyes, and pink lips with two small, sharp fangs.
====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller horn.

===Special abilities===
Seaking is a very powerful swimmer, as it is able to swim against a river's current, and even {{m|waterfall}}s. It also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in solid rock, so as to keep its Eggs safe.

===Behavior===
In autumn, its body becomes fattier in preparing to propose to a mate. In the spawning season, they gather from all over to travel upriver. During this time, the Seaking males can be seen performing their courtship dances to woo Seaking females. The male also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders, to keep the Eggs safe, although in other seasons it will make and live in their own nests. Seaking is very protective of its Eggs, defending its Eggs with its life and fighting with its horn. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and Eggs, and the guarding of Eggs by the Seaking goes on for over a month until the Eggs hatch.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Seaking are common in bodies of fresh water. They live in hollowed out boulders in rivers and streams, and are encountered in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

===Major appearances===
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Professor Oak}} have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash and Misty released theirs only a short time after capturing it, due to the rules of the [[Seaking Catching Day|competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line and Stinker]]'', and Professor Oak's Seaking was mentioned in the [[dub]] only.

[[Juan]] also owns a Seaking, which was used in a [[Gym]] battle against Ash in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Juan's Seaking was able to block {{t|Electric}} attacks with {{m|Horn Drill}} and send them back at its opponent.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Wallace Charles.png|right|thumb|125px|[[Wallace]]'s Seaking, Charles]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Seaking's most notable appearance early in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was of a failed capture by {{adv|Yellow}}, who couldn't bring herself to hurt the goldfish.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Seaking's prototype name was "{{wp|Neptune}}", after the god of the sea in Roman mythology.
* Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through leveling up.
** Due to this, it is possible to complete any game without finding [[HM07]].
* Seaking's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are the same: 079.
* Despite its names in various languages having the word for ''king'' in them, there is a 50% chance that Seaking will be female.
* The phrase "F**k yeah, Seaking!" has reached memetic status.

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a species of {{wp|goldfish}} known as Azuma Nishiki (東錦), bearing a similar coloration to {{wp|Shubunkin}} goldfish. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Vishnu}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.

====Name origin====
Seaking is a combination of ''sea'' and ''king''. Additionally, it may be a pun on "sinking".

Azumao may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'' ({{wp|rock cod}}) and 魔王 ''ma-ō'' (devil king). It may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'' (east king). Additionally, 東錦 ''azuma nishiki'' is a kind of goldfish and could be combined with 王 ''ou'' (king), as a compliment to Goldeen's "queenliness".

'''Horn Drill''' (Japanese: '''つのドリル''' ''Horn Drill'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM07]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Horn Drill has 30% accuracy and inflicts damage equal to the target's current {{stat|HP}}. Horn Drill will break a {{m|Substitute}} if it hits, and can be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage when it does so.

Horn Drill will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat.

===Generation II and on===
Unlike in Generation I, Horn Drill can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level. The accuracy of Horn Drill depends on the level of the user and the level of the target and is worked out with the formula: Accuracy = ((level of user-level of target) + 30)%. Horn Drill ignores all changes to accuracy and evasion stats.

Horn Drill can be {{m|counter}}ed for infinite damage if it misses in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. However, this does not apply to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and later games.

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cloyster has a large shell covered in spikes. Six of the spikes are long and conical, resembling turrets, and are used to protect its soft insides from foes. Cloyster has an inner, gray-colored layer inside its purple shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a black pearl, and there is a jutting, horn-like white spike above its "head". Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Cloyster have strong defenses and moderate offenses, both thanks to their sturdy shell. They fight by clamping their shell tightly shut while launching spikes from their shell to strike opponents.

===Behavior===
Cloyster are sneaky and clever Pokémon, viciously rushing at prey while shooting spikes. They fight roughly because of the hostile nature of their habitat and the protection of their shell, allowing them to withstand physical blows easily. Cloyster swim by means of propulsion, doing so by first swallowing water, and then jetting it out toward the rear. Cloyster may also shoot spikes from their shell using the same system.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.

Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.

The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}
[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.

==Trivia==
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice-types.
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.
* Cloyster is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Purple|purple color group}}.
* Cloyster and {{p|Shellder|its pre-evolution}} were shown to be capable of floating through the air in [[Pokémon Snap]], a behavior they haven't exhibited in any other media.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.

====Name origin====
Cloyster may be a combination of ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) and ''{{wp|oyster}}''. It could also be a portmanteau of ''{{wp|clam}}'' and ''oyster'', as a pun on ''cloister''. Also, it could be a corruption of the word ''cloister''.

Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous forms, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Bayleef}}, it has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. Also unlike its previous evolutions, its irises are yellow instead of red, and its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four feet}} have three toes instead of a single one. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower, with a yellow central pattern and white tips. Meganium has also reverted to the color it was as a Chikorita, whilst Bayleef's main body color had become a beige-yellow coloration.

====Gender differences====
A female Meganium has shorter antennae.

===Special abilities===
The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

Since Meganium is a fully evolved Pokémon and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]], it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

===Behavior===
Meganium appear to be a very benevolent and docile species. In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', Nurse Joy's Meganium was a peacemaker and tried to stop the battle between {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle}} and a {{p|Tropius}}. It was also shown that Meganium could heal Grovyle prior to the battle, however this may be isolated to {{type|Grass}}s as Meganium is able to heal hurt or dead plants.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Meganium are very rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium.

===Diet===

====[[Vincent's Meganium]]====
[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] had a heated battle with [[Vincent]]'s Meganium in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. Vincent also used his Meganium to help save {{p|Raikou}} in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====Other====
A [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' had a Meganium, which became the object of affection for both {{AP|Ash's Grovyle|Sceptile}} and a wild {{p|Tropius}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Meganium under the ownership of an unknown Trainer battled in a qualifying match for the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]''.

An [[Officer Jenny]] from ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' had Meganium on her squad.

In ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]'', [[Elisa]] used her Meganium to stop a {{p|Donphan}} from chasing {{Ho|Hal}} and to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing the {{p|Vibrava}}.

A Meganium appeared in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''.

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

==In the manga==
[[File:Megaree.png|thumb|150px|right|{{adv|Crystal}}'s Meganium, Megaree]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Megaree}}
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, {{adv|Crystal}}'s Bayleef evolved into Meganium to protect {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and herself from {{p|Lugia}}. In this new stage, it was able to help the other two starter Pokémon (who had also evolved) defend their Trainers from this imminent threat and carried Crystal on its back with its increased speed and size, and then participated in the conclusive battle against the [[Masked Man]], revealed to be [[Pryce]], trying to take down the evil mastermind but being subdued by his nimble ice puppets and doing little good in the battle.

Much later, it is revealed to have learned the {{type|Grass}} ultimate attack, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, between the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} and {{chap|Emerald}}s, and helped destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s humongous, fake Kyogre.

[[Kimberly]] also has a Meganium that she uses to demonstrate {{a|Overgrow}} with.

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

==History==
===Sinnoh===
Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, Piplup was fairly weak at first. [[Nando's Roserade|Nando's Budew]] easily defeated the starter Pokémon in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', as well as {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''. However, he was easily defeated by [[Dawn's Piloswine]] in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', among others.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two [[Ribbon]]s in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; he will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn, and also often tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen for example in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Piplup helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face. Two episodes later in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

[[File:Dawn Piplup no evolution.png|thumb|left|200px|Piplup resisting his evolution.]]
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', Piplup began the [[evolution]] process. However, it soon became clear that Piplup was unwilling to undergo the transformation to {{p|Prinplup}}. After an encounter with {{TRT}}, {{an|Dawn}} gave Piplup her full support and acquired an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent his evolution for as long as he wants.

In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with a Marill; however, a wild {{p|Elekid}} is also competing for the Marill's affections. When the three Pokémon get separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid work together to save Marill. Once Marill was saved, she decided to go with Elekid, and left Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', he battled Johanna's {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} together with {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a [[Double Battle]]. Despite him and Pachirisu trying their best, they just weren't powerful enough to defeat Glameow and Umbreon, which resulted in a loss for Dawn.

Ever since [[Ash's Gible]] made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of Gible's {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a running gag. ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'' expanded on this event in which Piplup ran away from the the group following another accidental attack. However, these events helped Piplup learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', it implies that {{m|Draco Meteor}} can be used to differentiate Piplup from other {{p|Piplup}}.

Piplup was used in the appeal rounds of {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, along with Buneary. They managed to get Dawn to the battle round.

[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|right|200px|Dawn admiring Piplup in his new costume]]
In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' Piplup was used along with Togekiss in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against Zoey's Gallade and Glameow. Despite coming up with a new combination and trying their best they lost at the last second.

For {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn made Piplup a new costume to wear instead of the usual cheerleader outfit.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when he realized {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were leaving since he couldn't accept the fact. However Dawn and everyone else consoled him saying that they would always be friends to the end.

In [[SS024]], he was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside Cyndaquil. But when Piplup and Cyndaquil unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination, the battle was stopped due to them fighting.

===Unova===
[[File:Dawn Piplup and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|220px|Piplup and his rival, Ash's Oshawott]]

In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Piplup came to Unova with Dawn; both were able to reunite with Ash and meet Iris and Cilan in [[BW086|the next episode]]. During this time, Piplup was able to meet his new object of affection, a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since [[Virbank City]]. He also found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]] who also had feelings for Meloetta. Later on, Piplup battled {{an|Cilan}}'s {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} and his dazzling attacks, including his new moves: {{m|Drill Peck}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, left Meloetta greatly impressed. He also socialised with all the other Pokémon when they were brought out of their Poké Balls.

In [[BW090]], Piplup was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Rikiō]]'s {{p|Stoutland}} and won the battle. Thus, Dawn advanced to the second round.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup2.png|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|200px|left]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when Dawn said that Ash's Gible did not have ill intent when he was practicing his Draco Meteor in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', when a Chimchar stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', or when it repeatedly missed out on eating a berry and starts a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted in being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was again the same.

Dawn's Piplup always seems like he wants attention off everyone, this may be due to the fact of all the Contests he performed in.

===Moves improvised===
* '''Spin''' was first used in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'' where Piplup, together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, battled an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He spun around and used {{m|BubbleBeam}}. In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he spun while using {{m|Bide}}, absorbing a {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack and turning purple. A spinning variation of {{m|Peck}} was used in its Contest appeal in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. It was used again in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' to dodge [[Zoey|Zoey's Gallade]]'s {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.

* '''Sweet Kiss-BubbleBeam''' was used in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' First {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} uses {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, and then Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and the two moves combine making the hearts go inside the bubbles.

* '''Bubble Sphere''' was used in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was the first attack made by Dawn, it starts off with Piplup using {{m|BubbleBeam}} and it forms into a circle and then Togekiss uses Aura Sphere in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because Zoey destroyed it with her Glameow and Gallade in a matter of seconds.

* '''Aura Whirlpool''' was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey. For the move, after Piplup launched a {{m|Whirlpool}} Togekiss would then fire an {{m|Aura Sphere}} inside, causing the Whirlpool to turn blue. Using this move, Piplup and Togekiss were able to successfully counter {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and Gallade's Signal-Tail combination.

[[File:SkyAttack Peck Combination.png|Rocket Formation from ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''|thumb|right|200px]]
*'''Rocket Formation''' was also used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Dawn orders [[Dawn's Togekiss|her Togekiss]] to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results on a crimson aerial attack which resembles a Rocket, that Dawn uses to conclude her battle.

* '''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

* '''Bubble-Swift Combination''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]] it starts off with Piplup jumping on top of Cyndaquil and forming BubbleBeam into a circle then Cyndaquil uses Swift in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because [[Johanna]] destroyed it with her Glameow and Umbreon in a matter of seconds.

* '''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]]. For the combination, Piplup would cover a {{m|Flame Wheel}} created by Cyndaquil with a Whirlpool which created a sphere of water with fire inside. However, when Dawn attempted to use it during her practice battle against [[Johanna]], the combination failed, throwing both Pokémon to the ground.

* '''[[Counter Shield]]''' was a move that Piplup used to counter [[Cilan's Pansage]]'s {{m|Rock Tomb}} in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''. Piplup spun around while using {{m|BubbleBeam}} to counter the {{m|Rock Tomb}}, destroying it, while taking zero damage.

* '''Big Bubble''' was a move Piplup used to fight off the {{p|Onix}} in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''. Piplup used BubbleBeam but instead of multiple bubbles, it was one big bubble that surrounded Onix's head much like {{m|Water Pulse}} would. This caused a lot of damage and knocked the Onix out.

==In the manga==
===In the movie adaptations===
[[File:Dawn Piplup M10 manga.png|200px|thumb|right|Dawn and Piplup in The Rise of Darkrai manga]]
Dawn's Piplup appears in the following manga adaptations of [[Pokémon movie]]s: {{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}, {{ma|Giratina and the Sky Warrior}}, {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} and {{ma|Zoroark: Master of Illusions}}, like in the anime is Dawn's main Pokémon. The role of Piplup is basically the same in all the chapters, however in most stories it is shown inside his [[Poké Ball]] and has fewer interactions with Pokémon present in the story.

===The Rise of Darkrai===
He is first shown when Dawn sends her Pokémon out to play with several other Pokémon. Later, he is used in to battle against {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} alongside with {{p|Buizel}} but they are both defeated by the great power of the {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Piplup C-Gear skin.png|thumb|200px|right|A [[C-Gear]] skin featuring Piplup]]
* For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''Potchama ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto'' "{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} jumps into the water with a splash."
* The opening sequence of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a star seal with Piplup's Poké Ball until ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', three seasons later.
* Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of his Ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never directly expressed that he did not like being inside of the Ball.
** Piplup was unwilling to obey Dawn when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends after Pikachu and Piplup saved their respective Trainers from an attacking group of Pokémon; Pikachu saved Ash from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} while Piplup saved Dawn from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
*** Also, he has [[DP122|expressed reluctance]] to evolve and chose to stay in his base form for the time being, and Dawn was given an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup from evolving.
* Piplup's gender was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.
* Piplup has battled his two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup would likely not evolve very soon, referring to his evolutions as "ugly" or not good for Contests.
* Of all of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup was only completely absent from 17 of the 191 episodes.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.
* Piplup was featured in a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|promotional C-Gear]] skin alongside [[Brock's Croagunk]] in Japan to celebrate the [[SS024|anime]] [[SS025|specials]] featuring {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}}.
* Piplup has been shown to use more improvised moves than ''actual'' moves, with 8 actual moves used and 10 improvised moves.

VS {{tt|Melissa|Fantina}}!!'') is the 102nd episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 568th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on November 13, 2008, in the UK on April 16, 2009 and in the United States on April 18, 2009.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with an image of a {{p|Drifblim}} shaped balloon and pans out onto the [[Hearthome Gym]], then cuts to a bird's eye view of the battlefield inside. {{Ash}} stands with {{AP|Pikachu}} on the right side of the screen. The well-dressed referee introduces the battlers. The doors opposing Ash open and reveal [[Fantina]] surrounded by white light as she spins on one foot, announcing her excitement for her rematch with Ash and putting her foot down right on her side of the field and letting out a small chuckle. Ash gladly shouts across the room to her and tells her that she will not beat him this time, clenches his fist and exclaims that he'll have his fifth Badge soon. Fantina chuckles again and exclaims that she'll not give up the {{Badge|Relic}} easily. The narrator introduces the episode and it cuts to the title sequence.

The screen tracks downwards over a huge lake and a small town called [[Majolica Town]]. [[James]] excitedly points out that a [[Contest]] will be held today. He, {{TR|Meowth}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} stare at the poster of [[Marian]] while contemplating a scheme. [[Jessie]], dressed as Jessilina, stands upright with her {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} beside her cockily names herself {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}} and she rushes off to get her second Ribbon, leaving James, Meowth and Wobbuffet behind.

Back at the Gym, Ash calls to {{an|Barry}}, who is sitting in the stands with {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} telling him to "watch and learn", Barry replies that he "already knows what a loser" is. The referee announces the rules and exclaims that the match will be 3 on 3. Fantina calls upon her {{p|Gengar}} which floats above the battlefield, gently bobbing up and down in midair. Dawn scans it with her Pokédex and Ash calls out his {{AP|Buizel}}, anticipating {{m|Hypnosis}}, the move Fantina used to defeat his three Pokémon in their [[rematch]]. Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} cheer Buizel on and Ash encourages his, mentioning the special training he and his Pokémon had done. Unable to contain her excitement, Fantina prepares to start. Gengar squares up to Buizel and the referee begins the match.

Ash commands Buizel to use {{m|Aqua Jet}} which Gengar dodges with amazing speed while Barry jumps up and says that he had to deal with the same moves and Brock worries about the Ability {{a|Levitate}} that most {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon have. Fantina boasts about her Pokémon's movements and tests Ash's skills, asking how he'll handle it. Ash orders {{m|SonicBoom}}, which misses Gengar and hits the wall. Fantina cockily suggests that there is not much of a battle to see and flamboyantly spins and calls out, calling her Gengar "Gengar the Great". Gengar intimately circles Buizel with incredible speed and shoots upwards. Fantina commands her Gengar to use {{m|Shadow Punch}}. Buizel attempts to dodge the attack but as Fantina pointed out to Dawn, Shadow Punch always hits its target. Fantina tells Gengar to use Hypnosis which Ash excitedly replies by telling Buizel to spin on its back and use {{m|Water Gun}}, forming whips of water flying in all directions, disabling Hypnosis and trapping Gengar. Dawn cheers for Ash and Buizel as Barry is impressed to see this new move. Fantina calls out to Gengar, telling it to stay still or it will be damaged by the water whips. Brock and Dawn joyously note the qualities of Buizel's move and Barry suggests to Ash he should keep that strategy up. Gengar lands on the ground opposing Buizel and Fantina compliments Ash's technique, naming it the [[Counter Shield]], which Ash then agrees with her that that is the name. Fantina orders {{m|Night Shade}} and Ash tells Buizel to counter with {{m|Water Pulse}}. Both Pokémon are hit but only Buizel is able to get up. The referee calls out Buizel to be the victor and Ash recalls it. Barry is angered by how easily Ash won the first round, exclaiming he was unable to beat even one of Fantina's Pokémon. Fantina calls back Gengar and compliments Ash, much to Barry's disgust as he had received no compliments in his battle with Fantina.

Meanwhile, at the Contest, Marian is complimenting all the Pokémon who have performed and then she introduces the next {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, Jessilina. Jessilina walks on stage, blowing kisses to the audience while James, Meowth, Wobbuffet and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} cheer for her. She releases Yanmega from its Poké Ball along with a bunch of hearts created by the [[Seal]] on her [[Ball Capsule]]. Yanmega starts with {{m|Silver Wind}} which blows Jessilina's Ribbons out of her hair so that it waved beautifully in the wind, making the audience fall in love with Jessilina and Yanmega's beauty. James and Meowth compliment her to themselves as she sings for all to hear.

Back at the Gym, Ash vows to make quick work of Fantina's other two Pokémon. Fantina calls upon {{p|Mismagius}} and tells Ash that it can't learn Hypnosis and this surprises Dawn and Barry. Barry thinks that Fantina is putting herself at a disadvantage but Brock tells him that it is common for Gym Leaders to share their techniques because their goal is to test the challenger. Ash reminisces the time Mismagius battled [[Zoey]], so he could be prepared for the attacks it knew. Knowing that he'd have to deal with the {{type|grass}} move {{m|Magical Leaf}} as well, so he sends out his {{type|fire}}, Chimchar. Chimchar starts with {{m|Flame Wheel}}, which Mismagius dodges with speed very much like Gengar's, but Chimchar turns around and jumps towards Mismagius with Flame Wheel still activated, much to Fantina's and Barry's surprise. Fantina orders {{m|Psywave}} which stops the Flame Wheel and sends Chimchar plummeting to the ground, while Brock and Dawn heed the power of {{type|Psychic}} moves. Ash tells Chimchar to spin and use {{m|Flamethrower}} which makes a Counter Shield of fire. Mismagius tries deflecting it with Psywave but still gets hit. Fantina then tries Magical Leaf, which is also deflected by the Counter Shield, but not before stopping it. Fantina then exclaimed that she had learned everything about the Counter Shield when he used it before, in their last battle. Ash tells Chimchar to use Flame Wheel again and Mismagius uses {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but Chimchar counters with another Counter Shield while still using Flame Wheel. Mismagius destroys the Counter Shield with Psywave, but is then afterwards hit hard by Flame Wheel. Mismagius is announced unable to battle and Chimchar celebrates with Ash. Barry then comments on how much happier it seemed to be while with Ash then it was with [[Paul]].

Back at the Contest, [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] presents Jessilina with her second Ribbon. Her teammates in the audience are overjoyed to see her win the Majolica Ribbon.

Straight back to the Gym battle, Fantina calls upon the Pokémon that beat Pikachu, Buizel and Chimchar in her last battle with Ash, her {{TP|Fantina|Drifblim}}. Fantina warns Ash that Drifblim is much stronger and much more beautiful than ever before and he sends Pikachu into battle. It starts with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} Counter Shield that directly hits Drifblim and paralyses it, but Drifblim blows the electricity away with {{m|Psychic}} and Fantina reminds Ash that "all good things must come to an end", suggesting the Counter Shield has outgrown its use. Drifblim then conjures up a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and Fantina tells it to use Psychic to control the Will-O-Wisp. Drifblim spreads the ghostly blue fire around itself, making its own Counter Shield. Pikachu tried knocking it away with Thunderbolt but Drifblim's counter shield, which Fantina called a "Counter Counter Shield", was too powerful. Fantina then went on to explain her Counter Shield's superiority and that it will last much longer. Drifblim throws the Counter Shield at Pikachu, it surrounds him and Drifblim grabs him by the cheeks and uses Hypnosis, putting Pikachu to sleep. Drifblim finally blows him away with {{m|Ominous Wind}}, rendering him unable to battle.

Hoping to deflect Will-O-Wisp, Ash sends out Buizel again. Ash orders a spinning Aqua Jet which destroys the Counter Shield that Drifblim had thrown at it and it hit Drifblim hard. Fantina quickly catches on to Ash's strategy and orders an Ominous Wind attack which destroys the Aqua Jet. Buizel lands on the ground and is told to use Water Pulse, which gets countered by a Will-O-Wisp attack. Once the blinding light had cleared, Drifblim grabbed Buizel by the cheeks, used Hypnosis and smashed him to the ground with Psychic, leaving Ash with only one Pokémon left, which is his Chimchar.

Chimchar is sent out again for the final round. Drifblim instantly starts by making Will-O-Wisp, while Chimchar uses Flame Wheel. Drifblim hits Chimchar with the Will-O-Wisp and stops the Flame Wheel. The match of Fire-type moves gives Ash an idea, he orders Chimchar to use Flamethrower, which collides with Drifblim's Counter Shield. The Flamethrower absorbs Drifblim's Counter Shield, turns the Flamethrower purple and hits Drifblim with the power of Flamethrower and its own Will-O-Wisp attack. Chimchar then dodges Ominous Wind with {{m|Dig}}, comes up behind Drifblim, grabs it and smacks it to the floor. Drifblim then turns around to use Hypnosis, but Chimchar is too quick for it and uses a close-range Flamethrower which knocks it out. Much to Barry’s surprise, Ash had won the match. Fantina picked up her Drifblim and gave it high praise.

Outside, Fantina congratulates Ash and his Pokémon and awards him the Relic Badge.

Later that night, on the balcony of the Pokémon Center, Ash asks what Barry will do next. He replies that he'll go and train on [[Iron Island]] as he trained there before and was able to win a Badge from the [[Canalave Gym]]. Dawn pointed Iron Island out on the map and Ash decided to go to [[Canalave City]] for his next Gym battle, suggesting they should all go together. Barry says if Ash wins there he'll start thinking of him as a real rival. The narrator then closes the episode.

==Major events==

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Dash''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンダッシュ''') is a [[Pokémon]] racing game for [[Nintendo DS]]. It was the first Pokémon game released for the Nintendo DS and the first game to feature a [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, {{p|Munchlax}}. The {{player}} plays as {{p|Pikachu}}, sliding the stylus across the touch screen in order to keep Pikachu moving, and competing against other Pokémon in the various game modes and racing Cups.

To allow the player to become familiar with the game's controls, the game first offers a practice mode. After the player completes it, the various game modes and Cups become accessible.

The game has 5 Cups: Green Cup, White Cup, Blue Cup, Yellow Cup, and Red Cup, each consisting of 5 courses. The courses differ in the various Grand Prixes and the other game modes. In order to unlock a new Grand Prix, the player needs to complete the previous Prix first by winning all five of its Cups.

There is also a mode which allows the player to create his or her own Cups with courses made of Pokémon sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} versions. This mode is unlocked along with the Hard Grand Prix mode, after the player has completed the Regular Grand Prix. ''For detailed information on those special courses, see {{DL|Pokémon Dash|Special courses}}.''

==Single player==
===Regular GP and Hard GP===
In these modes, the player races from checkpoint to checkpoint in a specified order. The player competes with about equally-sized Pokémon.

===Expert GP===
In the Expert mode, the player starts from the hot-air balloon with a view over the whole course. The players then dives towards the ground and the race begins. All checkpoints must be reached, but in any order. This gives the player the opportunity to choose where to start the race and allows him to play in his own way and with his own strategy. The player will now also compete with larger Pokémon such as {{p|Blaziken}} or {{p|Mightyena}}, making the races more difficult.

===Time Attack===
Time Attack mode allows a player to re-play any course they have previously completed. The objective of a Time Attack is to complete the entire course in the fastest amount of time possible. Time Attacks are not competitive and there are no CPU-controlled opponents, only the {{player}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}.

==Multiplayer==
There is a multiplayer mode which can support up to six players. Players may race in any previously completed course. Pokémon Dash does not support DS Download Play, requiring every player to own a copy of the game.

==Special courses==
[[File:Pokemon Dash Map.png|thumb|right|Map of courses in Pokémon Dash]]
Pokémon Dash includes 420 special courses. Most of them are obtainable by inserting a [[Version|main series game]] in the GBA slot of a Nintendo DS and selecting from the party a Pokémon whose {{game|Emerald}} sprite will become a course map. Besides these 417 different courses (every Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]], including {{p|Unown}}'s and {{p|Deoxys}}'s alternate [[Form differences|forms]], and an {{pkmn|Egg}}), there are also three special courses that can be downloaded from official events which star a flying {{p|Munchlax}}, a {{DL|Pikachu variants|Flying Pikachu}} and a {{p|Pikachu}} on a {{p|Lapras}}.

|}

==Reception==
The game received a lukewarm reception, mainly due to the fact that the player could only play as {{p|Pikachu}} in single player. Another common complaint was that the game could potentially be finished within hours.

==Trivia==
* Although this is a [[Generation III]] game, it features {{p|Munchlax}} fairly prominently (moreso than other games in which Munchlax appeared, such as {{Pokémon XD}}).
* If {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are all present in [[My Pokémon Ranch]], the Dash event may trigger, where these Pokémon race against each other.
* In chronological order, Pokémon Dash is the first Pokémon [[Nintendo DS|DS game]].

: There are people who are interested in how the game works on a technical and fundamental level. If you do not want to see this, I see two alternatives. Remove it, and I will be happy to stop posting technical information about the game and I will be happy to post it elsewhere. Second, I can make a separate technical page for different aspects of the game. This has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantage would be a central location from where to pull information about the game, separate from game mechanics and background. Disadvantage is that much of the information will be duplicated. I personally don't care either way. {{unsigned|Sabresite}}

I'd like to note that although randomizers are indeed usually seeded by the current date and time, the 3rd generation RPGs use the total time spent on the title screen. --[[User:Kyoufu Kawa|Kyoufu Kawa]] 11:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

== Error in the "RNG Abuse" section ==

The line "it is not possible to manipulate the nature of a Pokémon obtained through a [[Wonder Card]]" is not true in the least. I have obtained multiple Event Pokémon from [[Wonder Card]]s, and was able to manipulate the nature.

The difference is that with Wonder Cards, the nature and IVs are determined from the same value, thus, one must find a seed that includes the proper nature with the proper IVs and Hidden Power. It can't be RNG'd separately, but to say it can't be RNG'd at all is not correct.--[[User:Kyhan|Kyhan]] 00:08, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

:This article is extremely outdated and only applies to Gen 3/4, instead of 5 which I assume you are referring to when you say that nature is manipulable. In the case of gen 4, just because you can manipulate nature on an emulator does not mean that it is possible on a retail cartridge & DS system. The IVs(hidden power) is derived from the PRNG values, however the PID(nature) is derived from a timer which advances very fast and is uncontrollable.
:I have no plans to update this page as Sabresite was the one who started the page. The main place for this abuse at the time was Project Pokemon -- we have since migrated mostly to Smogon as it is now the main hub for RNG [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 09:09, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

James's Carnivine

'''James's Carnivine''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのマスキッパ''' ''Kojirō's Muskippa'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[James]] obtained in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==History==
[[File:Young James Carnivine.png|250px|thumb|left|Carnivine and James when they first met]]
James originally {{pkmn2|caught}} Carnivine in the [[Great Marsh]] as a boy, as mentioned in a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''. It made its debut in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]''. In this episode, {{TRT}} went to [[James's parents]]' vacation home in [[Sinnoh]] and James found Carnivine's [[Poké Ball]] among a collection of bottlecaps, but left quickly after being told [[Jessiebelle]] was on her way. He decided to bring Carnivine with him.
For the duration of time James had it with him, Carnivine took {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s place as his main battling Pokémon.

In [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s Sinnoh Contest [[DP011|debut]], Carnivine was used in both Appeal and Battle rounds. In the Appeal Round, Carnivine used {{m|Bullet Seed}} on a lollipop that Jessie threw and amazed the crowd by biting Jessie's head. In the Battle round, it is seen defeating a Rhydon for Jessie, showing that it is a strong battler, and thanks to it, Jessie reached the final stage. However, it lost against [[Zoey's Glameow]].

[[File:James Carnivine affection.png|250px|thumb|right|Carnivine showing affection]]
In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Jessie used Carnivine in the {{to|Chocovine}} Contest Battle Rounds, where it got to the semi-finals, losing to [[Ursula's Gabite]].

Carnivine was also used in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' to compete in the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest Battle Rounds. Together with James, who was the one disguised as Jessilina at that time, they defeated {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the semifinals and eventually won the Ribbon.

Carnivine was used by Jessilina multiple times in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], with the [[DP176|final one]] ending in her defeat to {{an|Dawn}}.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, James was forced to leave Carnivine at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native to the [[Unova]] region and would seem suspicious.

==Personality and characteristics==

Carnivine continues the series' running gag of James's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon showing affection for him by hurting him whenever they are released from their [[Poké Ball]]s. This affection is probably due to the fact that [[James]] and Carnivine shared a close bond when James was a child.

Carnivine shares a great relationship with James, like his other Pokémon. In ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', Carnivine saw the fear in James's eyes at the face of death and heroically learned {{m|Vine Whip}} to rescue him and the others.

==Moves used==

==Trivia==
* For [[DP027]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about James's Carnivine. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: マスキッパ　きょうもはらぺこ　すきっぱら ''{{tt|Muskippa|Carnivine}} is also starving today: empty stomach.''
* In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American Spanish dub]] it was given a nickname (''{{tt|Carnavalín|portmanteau between Carnival and Carnivine}}'') for comical purposes, like {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. James usually uses the nickname, but he has also called it Carnivine on occasion.
* James's Carnivine is the only one of it's kind to have appeared in the anime.

Eh...how does Probopass walk? Does it float like Metagross? By the way, Metagross floats and walks.

Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot my signature on that last message! ~Gardevoir

== Toilet/Mario ==

Why does Probopass's animation look like flushing a toilet and the cry is the like the same sound? Also, it looks like Mario (who was a plumber, no less), down to the mustache, and even red hat and color of body!

== Nome origin ==

Proboscis is already a very good explanation for it's name, but can it also lend some meaning from a MagnaProbe? The Magnaprobe is a magnet used to show the three dimensional nature of magnetic fields, kinda like a 3D compass needle. Or is just a probe way too generic? [[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]]

== Blurry picture ==

Is that picture in the first infobox kind of blurry, or is it just me? — [[User:Axxonn|'''Axxonn''']][[User talk:Axxonn|the]][[Special:Contributions/Axxonn|Awesometrainer]] 20:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

I noticed it's HGSS Dex entry states that it can attack with it's three noses, but it can't learn Tri-Attack. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 19:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

== Parallel to Magnezone? ==

Shouldn't it be noted Probopass is like, I don't know, a parallel to Magnezone?

They both are part Steel-type, both evolve from their previous evolution when levelled up at Mt. Coronet, and both of them evolve from a Pokemon of a previous generation.

Thanks, [[User:KetchumsKetchup|KetchumsKetchup]] ([[User talk:KetchumsKetchup|talk]]) 17:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
:Not really. The things you listed are just about the only things they have in common - unlike most paired counterparts, they don't have similar movesets, they aren't the same evolutionary stage (Probopass is 2nd while Magnezone is 3rd), and their base stats, catch rates, and various other numerical designations differ wildly. The few similarities they have seem to be entirely coincidental, and probably only exist because they both happen to be based on magnets.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}


As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} head towards a harbor to take the boat to [[Virbank City]], they happen to meet the Dragon Buster [[Georgia]] and the "Blizzard Pokémon" {{p|Vanilluxe}}. Georgia tells them she's currently on her way to the [[Ferroseed Research Institute]] in order to acquire "moss that enhances Pokémon's abilities". Ash and his friends find this interesting, and head to the laboratory together with Georgia, where said moss is created from the components of rocks and stones taken into the body of the "Thorn Seed Pokémon" {{p|Ferroseed}}.

Suddenly, a large mass of moss emerges from the room where an experiment to create moss from Electric Stones ("Chargestones") was being conducted! The laboratory ends up completely covered! Ash and the others quickly escape the place, but {{an|Iris}}, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} end up left behind on the laboratory roof! And Vanilluxe, being an {{Type|Ice}}, which Iris is uncomfortable with, is on the roof with them as well! Iris shakes in fear at both the approaching moss and Vanilluxe...! What will happen now!?

Does the symbol on the back of Bronzor/Bronzong have any special meaning? (Check the "Forms" section of the Pokédex. There's some kind of 5-leaf branch symbol on their backs.) --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 05:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
:I don't know the name of the legend/fairy tale, but I know it's what the two pokemon are based off of. A large bell broke and the village collected mirrors(made of bronze back then) to melt down and fix the bell. One woman was greedy and lied about the mirror, then died or something and her mirror was cursed. When they tried to melt her mirror it wouldn't melt (heatproof explained. I think the symbol on the back was also important in the tale. If anyone could find the correct/full version of this story, it would help shed some light. --[[User:Eleking|Eleking]] 05:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

== Aged Bronze? ==

It just me or does the shiny version look like and aged bronze version
*They just coloured him green, they probably were running out of ideas this stage, they made a bronze plate a pokemon. they just coloured him green. I really wish they made more shinies with desirable colours like Blaziken, where he was darkened a tad and got white hair.--[[User:Madheroesfan|Madheroesfan]] 12:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metapod}} starting at [[level]] 7, which evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Caterpie is {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} and resembles a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antennae ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. It shares many characteristics with other larval Pokémon such as {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Sewaddle}}.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
The antennae on its head will emit a terrible stench from it if the Caterpie is frightened or if the antennae are touched. This serves as an effective protective mechanism against most predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. It can also {{m|String Shot|spit a string from its mouth}} in order to entangle foes as seen in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', when Caterpie uses String Shot on the villainous Team Rocket.

===Behavior===
Caterpie grow very quickly, and need to eat voraciously in order to meet their energy requirements. They have various adaptations that permit them to devour plant material safely, including an antenna that releases a horrible smell. It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. While some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are disgusted by the idea of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, they are ideal targets for new Trainers as they are weak in the wild and evolve into their final forms at a low level.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Caterpie can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]]. It is native to the [[Kanto]] and the [[Johto]] region, but has also been encountered in [[Sinnoh]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Caterpie primarily feed on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Butterfree}}
{{Ash}}'s Caterpie appears in the manga series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

Caterpie is the second wild Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga. It was caught in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''.

Caterpie then followed Yellow to where she and {{adv|Blue}} were training, next to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. It took Yellow a whole day to properly catch this Caterpie with a Poké Ball, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it "Kitty". It then became one of Yellow's most useful Pokémon, whose string was commonly used to make floaters. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

==Trivia==
* Caterpie was the first Pokémon to be seen [[Evolution|evolving]] in the anime.
** It is also the first Pokémon to be seen being caught in the anime, by [[Ash Ketchum]].
* Caterpie, along with {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Wurmple}}, evolve at level 7, the lowest level required for any Pokémon that evolves by leveling up.
** Also, their known [[Ability|Abilities]] are same, {{a|Shield Dust}} and {{a|Run Away}}.
* Caterpie is the first {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Caterpie is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order which has the same name in English and Japanese.
* Caterpie shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Wurmple}}. They are both known as Worm Pokémon.
* Though Caterpie's ability to release a terrible smell is mentioned in many of its Pokédex entries, it cannot have the Ability {{a|Stench}}.
* Caterpie shares a fairly similar in-game [[cry]] with {{p|Goldeen}}, being only .07 seconds shorter.
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, when it became able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a {{t|Ghost}} type outside of {{m|Struggle|struggling}} except {{m|String Shot|lower its Speed}}. It shares this trait with its evolution, {{p|Metapod}}. This is also true for {{p|Weedle}}, and its evolution, {{p|Kakuna}}, against {{t|Steel}} types before {{game|Platinum}} was released.
* Caterpie is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order that isn't related to a starter Pokémon.
* Being exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], Caterpie is the first version-exclusive Pokémon from a main series game.

===Origin===
Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Eastern Tiger Swallowtail}} caterpillar. Its "antenna" is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor.

====Name origin====
Caterpie is a corruption of ''{{wp|caterpillar}}''.

KetchumsKetchup: /* Parallel to Magnezone? */ new section

Eh...how does Probopass walk? Does it float like Metagross? By the way, Metagross floats and walks.

Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot my signature on that last message! ~Gardevoir

:You can just add the signature to your message without explaining it (or just doing so in the edit summary).
:As for your question, we'll probably have to wait for Probopass to appear in the anime to find out. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 23:27, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess I hope he is in the anime. I do want to see how he moves. ~Gardevoir

Apparently, from the looks of the pics, he levitates. --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 01:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
:What? I just looked through all the pics, he walks on the ground. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 14:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
::It's just barely off the ground, but it looks like it's floating somewhat. Especially when it's moving with Alan on its back. --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 01:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

== Toilet/Mario ==

Why does Probopass's animation look like flushing a toilet and the cry is the like the same sound? Also, it looks like Mario (who was a plumber, no less), down to the mustache, and even red hat and color of body! [[Image:Ani493MS.gif]][[User:ZanderX|Zander]][[Image:Ani493MS.gif]] 12:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

:: I'll accept that Probopass resembles a Mr. Potato Head. But, Probopass does not resemble Mario anymore than any person with a moustache. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 21:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
::: Well I showed a picture of Probopass to some people and on who he looks like, they all said Mario, none really came up with Mr. Potato Head. [[User:Kilik|Kilik]] 11:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I say it's regular form looks more like Mario than its shiny form, for whoever put that. =/ --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 01:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:::::I doubt that Probopass was meant to look like Mario. If it was, the shiny form would've been based of off Luigi by having the "hat" and nose colored green; but it isn't.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 19:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
::::::Well, Pokencyclopedia, you could be right. Or mayby nintendo showing us just how much they hate Weegee, er luigi.[[User:Glitchym1|Glitchym1~♥]] 21:53, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

::::::Truthfully, I'm not sure if I believe in this theory or not, but either way, whoever said that shiny Probopass doesn't make any Mario references is completely wrong. Think about it. If normal Probopass looks like Mario, then the shiny version should be Wario. Plus, the shiny version of Probopass is yellow. See what I'm getting at?[[User:ShadowCloak789|ShadowCloak789]] 04:52, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

==Legs Trivia==

is it worth a mention in the trivia that (i think) nosepass has legs but probopass doesn't?? --[[User:Titan|TiT]][[User_Talk:Titan|An]] 12:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
:No, there are other Pokémon that has the same situation as Probopass.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 12:38, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
::ok thanks --[[User:Titan|TiT]][[User_Talk:Titan|An]] 15:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

== Nome origin ==

Proboscis is already a very good explanation for it's name, but can it also lend some meaning from a MagnaProbe? The Magnaprobe is a magnet used to show the three dimensional nature of magnetic fields, kinda like a 3D compass needle. Or is just a probe way too generic? [[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]]

== Blurry picture ==

Is that picture in the first infobox kind of blurry, or is it just me? — [[User:Axxonn|'''Axxonn''']][[User talk:Axxonn|the]][[Special:Contributions/Axxonn|Awesometrainer]] 20:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

I noticed it's HGSS Dex entry states that it can attack with it's three noses, but it can't learn Tri-Attack. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 19:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

== Parallel to Magnezone? ==

Shouldn't it be noted Probopass is like, I don't know, a parallel to Magnemite?

They both are part Steel-type, both evolve from their previous evolution when levelled up at Mt. Coronet, and both of them evolve from a Pokemon of a previous generation.

==Historical origin==
Kenshin is based on the real-life {{wp|Uesugi Kenshin}} of Japanese history. He and [[Shingen]] were honorable rivals of one another. [[Aya Conquest|Aya]] ({{wp|Aya-Gozen}}) was his older half-sister and Kagekatsu ({{wp|Uesugi Kagekatsu}}) was his brother-in-law. Yatarō ({{wp|Kojima Yatarō}}), Kanetsugu ({{wp|Naoe Kanetsugu}}), Tomonobu ({{wp|Saitō Tomonobu}}), Sadamitsu ({{wp|Usami Sadamitsu}}), and Kageie ({{wp|Kakizaki Kageie}}) were generals in his army. Takahiro ({{jwp|北条高広|Kitajô Takahiro}}) was also apart of the {{wp|Uesugi clan}}.

==Trivia==

* Despite the fact that Kenshin uses a [[Mewtwo]], Mewtwo is a clone of [[Mew]] created in recent history. Therefore, it is chronologically impossible for Kenshin to own Mewtwo unless he somehow travelled to the future.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
As {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} continue on their way through [[Viridian Forest]], a shrill scream disrupts the calm of the trees. Ash turns around, realizing that the sound came from his female companion. She is hiding in a tree because she has seen a {{t|Bug}}, to which Ash makes a pun. Then he spots the bug, a {{p|Weedle}}, and decides to catch it. He tries to use Pikachu against it, but it is more interested in sleeping than {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, so he sends out his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}. Pidgeotto manages to defeat Weedle, but, just when Ash is about to toss a {{ball|Poké}} to capture it, a boy dressed as a [[samurai]] arrives on the scene. The samurai asks Ash if he is from [[Pallet Town]], and when Ash replies that, yes, he is from Pallet Town, the samurai challenges Ash to a Pokémon battle. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle escapes and the samurai rebukes Ash for allowing it to escape, but Ash insists that it is the samurai's fault that the Weedle escaped. The two then begin their Pokémon battle.

Ash uses his Pidgeotto and the samurai battles with his {{p|Pinsir}}. The two battle for some time, but Pinsir finally manages to defeat Pidgeotto. Ash then sends out his {{AP|Metapod}}. Metapod breaks Pinsir's pincers with {{m|Harden}} and wins the round. The samurai then sends out his own {{p|Metapod}}! The two Metapod continue to harden themselves, leaving Misty and Pikachu to wonder whether the match will ever finish. Suddenly, a swarm of angry {{p|Beedrill}} arrives, and one Beedrill lifts Ash's Metapod away. The samurai takes Ash, Misty and their Pokémon to a safe place.

In the samurai's hiding place, the samurai furiously rebukes Ash for putting his Metapod in danger. Ash keeps quiet, and promises himself that he will find Metapod the next day and look after it better from then on. During the night, he is unable to sleep and can only think about his Metapod.

Early the next morning, Ash begins his search for Metapod. He sees it lying at the base of a tree, surrounded by many {{p|Kakuna}}, and attempts to sneak forward through the grass towards it without alerting the Beedrill swarm. However, he is interrupted by {{MTR}}, who jumps on the back of his head. A moment later, [[Jesse]] and [[James]] appear on a cliff overhead, and launch loudly into their {{motto}}, ignoring Ash's warnings that they will alert the Beedrill.

Sure enough, the sound awakens the Kakuna, which evolve into Beedrill and prepare to dive-bomb Ash and Team Rocket. Ash runs forward below their attacks, reaching the tree where Metapod is waiting. Jessie and James attempt to take cover from the Beedrill beneath a large protective tank they have been carrying, but, as it is made of cardboard, a group of {{p|Weedle}} are easily able to chew through it.

Ash attempts to recall Metapod to its Poké Ball, but it rolls away from his arms. Seeing a look of sorrow in Metapod's eyes, Ash realizes that he has lost Metapod's trust. Ash attempts to explain what happened, saying that losing Metapod was all Samurai's fault. However, Ash suddenly realizes that he is lying to himself and to Metapod, and admits that losing Metapod was his fault and his alone. Ash is upset upon realizing that it was his carelessness that put his Pokémon's life in danger, and, amid tearful apologies to Metapod, he sincerely promises to take better care of it. Its faith in its trainer restored, Metapod saves Ash by leaping into the path of an attacking Beedrill, but in the process its shell is torn by the Beedrill's needle-like arm. Ash picks up his Metapod and cradles it in his arms, thinking it has been badly injured, but it instead begins to glow; the hole in its shell has triggered Metapod's [[Evolution|evolution]] into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Ash gazes happily at his first fully-evolved Pokémon, and even Misty doesn't feel her normal fear of {{t|bug}}s, going so far as to call Ash's Butterfree beautiful.

Ash and the others are then once again attacked by the swarm of Beedrill, but, this time, Ash is prepared for them. He orders his newly-evolved Butterfree to use {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which puts the bee-like Pokémon to sleep and allows the group to escape. Samurai applauds Ash for being able to control his Butterfree well so soon after its evolution. Samurai also tells Ash that he takes back the statements he made about Ash being a novice, and that, compared to Ash, Samurai is the novice.

Ash and Samurai part as friends, promising to battle again someday. Ash, Pikachu and Misty then go on and finally reach the end of Viridian Forest. Ash runs at full speed towards [[Pewter City]] to earn his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]], with Misty following close behind. Team Rocket, meanwhile, are left wrapped up like Kakuna among a hive of angry Beedrill.

==Trivia==
[[File:Kakuna evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Kakuna's original evolution method]]
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method]]
* This is the first time the lines "Prepare for trouble! / And make it double!" are included in [[Team Rocket mottos|Team Rocket's motto]].
* In this episode, Metapod and Kakuna's evolution processes are depicted as their shells cracking and their evolved forms emerging, leaving behind an empty carapace, similar to real life insects' emergence from pupation. In later episodes, however, Metapod and Kakuna are shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.
* When Ash, Misty and Samurai are settled down for the night and Ash is shown to be awake and worrying about Metapod, "Satoshi", Ash's Japanese name, is seen to be written on his sleeping bag.
* Ash tries and fails to capture a Weedle; however, he would [[EP161|later]] succeed in capturing its [[Casey's Beedrill|final form]] only to give it away shortly thereafter.
** In that episode Ash once again tries and fails to capture a Weedle.
* This marks the first time that Ash has two Flying-types in his party at once.
** This will happen again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and later in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]''.
* This is the first episode not to have the word "Pokémon" in its name.
* This episode was banned in {{pmin|South Korea}} due to a cultural problem.
* This episode features the first [[anime move error]], as [[Samurai]]'s [[Pinsir]] cannot legally learn [[Tackle]] in the games.
===Errors===
[[File:EP004 error.png|thumb|200px|right|Ash's eyes]]
* When Ash sets out the next morning to look for Metapod, Meowth kicks Ash in the head and scratches him. After he starts crying, Jessie and James are shown on top of the cliff above him. Ash runs off after they finish reciting their motto, during which time Meowth is still next to him. However, when the camera cuts to Jessie and James jumping off the cliff and running after him, Meowth is shown jumping off with them.
* In one scene, when Ash is arguing with Samurai, his gloves disappear.
* Samurai's Pinsir uses {{m|Tackle}} in this episode, a move it is [[Anime move errors|normally incapable of learning]].
* During the Metapod vs. Metapod battle, each side uses Harden in a futile attempt to defeat the other. However, Ash's Metapod should technically know Tackle as well, since it evolved from a Caterpie. It does, in fact, use this move later to protect Ash from a Beedrill's {{m|Twineedle}} attack.
* The hole a Beedrill makes in the door of the cabin disappears in the next shot.
* In the scene with the Kakuna hive, Samurai incorrectly refers to the plural of Kakuna as "Kakunas." The Pokédex also makes this mistake.
** Misty and Ash also incorrectly refer to the plural of "Beedrill" in this manner.
* In one scene, Ash's eyes are red in color.

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
* Ash getting in a cow costume and suggesting that a bug is a "cowterpie" makes more sense in the Japanese pun: Misty says "Mushi! Mushi! Mushi! ...Mushi!" which means "Bug! Bug! Bug! ...Bug!". Ash then says "Ushi?", meaning "Cow?".
* The word "Mika" on Jessie's Kakuna disguise is painted out in the dub.
* Some of the characters improperly refer to Pokémon in plural form with an "s". For example, Misty refers to the Beedrill as "Beedrills".

====Differences between the episode and the comic adaptation====
* The scene where Misty first encounters Samurai is cut, leaving Samurai's first appearance to be when he encounters Ash.
* During the scene where the Metapod are hardening during their battle, only the picture of Pikachu sunbathing is retained, whereas the episode shows both Misty and Pikachu sunbathing.
* The panel where Misty scolds Samurai and Ash for being "more hardheaded than their Metapods" reuses the panel where Jessie and James knock Meowth off their Beedrill-protection device.
* Meowth scratching Ash (as well as Ash's reaction) is cut from the comic.
* The final scene where Jessie and James end up wearing Kakuna disguises in the comic cuts out the part where they end up being stung as a result of the Kakuna deducing their real identities.

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and their remakes, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth protruding from its mouth. It has two eyes that are rarely seen open, giving it the appearance that it is sleeping. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|two hind feet}}, with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms and fore claws are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.
====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw {{m|Mega Punch|incredibly powerful punches}} and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s. Snorlax have a strong digestion system, allowing them to eat anything (even moldy food) without getting an upset stomach.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax is not satisfied until it consumes {{tt|900 pounds|400 kilograms}} of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way. Aside from this, they are very docile and even allow children to bounce on their big bellies.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there. They have been documented in [[Kanto]], and evidence suggests that they could be found in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax are not picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible---even other Pokémon. (as evidenced by a Snorlax's attempt to eat Misty's Goldeen in [[EP094|Snack Attack]]) They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of bananas found in grasslands. Snorlax only wake up to eat. They need to eat about 900lbs (90% of their bodyweight) to be satisfied before falling back to sleep. Some Snorlax sleep for a month at a time, so 900lbs of food is enough to sustain them for at least one month whilst asleep.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Snorlax EToP.png|thumb|200px|right[[Ash's Snorlax]] as seen in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Snorlax}}
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} found Snorlax eating all of the fruit on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]]. With the help of {{an|Ruby}} and {{an|Jigglypuff}}, Ash managed to defeat and capture the Snorlax. Snorlax made no further major appearances after that chapter.
[[File:Snor.png|thumb|200px|left|{{adv|Red}}'s Snorlax, Snor]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], awakening it by exploiting its gluttonous nature with the {{p|Beedrill}} honey left on [[Saur]]'s head. Afterwards, it became one of Red's favorite fighters, allowing him to stop {{adv|Green}} after she stole his money (only to discover later that she then seized his Badges during the ensuing fight), and overcome dozens of challenges along his journey with few defeats, being able to force {{adv|Blue}} to recall his {{p|Machamp}}, and even stop a full-speed train in its tracks much later on in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}. In addition, to date, it is his highest-level party Pokémon at level 89.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Snorlax took part in a baseball match in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.

Giovanni sent out a Snorlax to prevent anyone from winning the contest he hosted on TV.

===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Snorlax.png|thumb|200px|right|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
====Melee trophy information====
''Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

==== Brawl trophy information ====

''"A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging {{m|Snore}} attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], when it was out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}, Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it is as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
** It is, however, the heaviest Pokémon that has a gender.
** Snorlax is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** Snorlax is the heaviest Pokémon that can legally hatch from an Egg.
*** Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} can be seen to hatch in [[Generation IV]] because of the {{p|Arceus}} event. However, the Egg does not hatch by the standard method.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but cannot naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]]. However, it can learn it as a Move Tutor move in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** Similarly, Snorlax is able to learn {{m|Harden}} in [[Generation I]] games, but cannot in later generations.
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the [[Poké Flute]] is used.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass and higher {{stat|Attack}}.
*{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only games in which Snorlax is in the regional Pokédex and is not encountered as an obstacle that is blocking a route.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player interacts with a Snorlax that is [[Walking Pokémon|walking]] with them, the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. This is based on {{ga|Red}}, who is also at Mt. Silver, owning a Snorlax as well. While on Mt. Silver, unique messages will also appear if the player's walking Pokémon is a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}}.
* Snorlax is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be in the black [[List of Pokémon by color|color group]].
* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Snorlax held the record for the highest base stat total of all unevolved Pokémon, with 540.
** However, due to the introduction of it's pre-evolution, [[Munchlax]], this title has since been passed to fellow [[Generation I]] Pokémon, [[Lapras]], who has a base stat total of 535.

===Origin===
Snorlax may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s. It may also be based on the large, cave dwelling bears, {{wp|Ursus spelaeus}}. It may also be based on a food coma, as it eats and eats and eats, then gets tired and sleeps (symptoms of a food coma)

====Name origin====
Snorlax is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax'' or ''relax''.

Kabigon may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'' (snoring) or 憩う ''ikou'' (rest). It may also incorporate 黴 ''kabi'' (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.

'''Phoebe''' (Japanese: '''フヨウ''' ''Fuyō'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation III]], Phoebe is the second member of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]]. Her strategy is to confuse and confound with Pokémon she considers indefinable.

Most of her Pokémon are pure Ghosts, with the exception of {{p|Sableye}}, which is half {{type|Dark}}. Her grandmother resides at [[Mt. Pyre]], where she does most of her training, and Phoebe hopes she's doing well. While it is unknown who her grandmother is, it is quite likely that she is the old lady that guards the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Red Orb}} and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}} at the top of the mountain.

She also claims to have the ability to communicate with {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, presumably in a similar fashion that {{t|Psychic}} specialists like {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and [[Sabrina]] communicate with their Pokémon through telepathy.

* Before battle
:''"Ahahaha! I'm Phoebe of the Elite Four. I did my training on Mt. Pyre. While I trained, I gained the ability to commune with Ghost-type Pokémon. Yes, the bond I developed with Pokémon is extremely tight. So, come on, just try and see if you can even inflict damage on my Pokémon!"''

* When defeated
:''"Oh, darn. I've gone and lost."''

* After being defeated
:''"There's a definite bond between you and your Pokémon, too. I didn't recognize it, so it's only natural that I lost. Yup, I'd like to see how far your bond will carry you. Go ahead, move to the next room."''

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Phoebe Adventures.png|right|thumb|Phoebe in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], she is sent by [[Steven Stone]] to try to help a [[blind boy]] uncover the locations of {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}} so that {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} may be defeated. She also works with [[Glacia]] later on, helping her control {{p|Regice}} while the other Elite Four members control {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Registeel}}. She also has a habit (in the Chuang Yi English translation) of saying "dear" after people's names. (in the original Japanese version, her habit is to add the suffix of -kun to people's names, suggesting she is a bit close in friendship/partnership to people and that their relationship isn't just all politeness. In the Japanese version she refers to {{p|Relicanth}} with the "-san" suffix, but with how legendary it is in the arc that is most likely just because she is giving it proper respect. It's also worth noting she didn't refer to Relicanth in any special way (not even with 'Relicanth dear') in the Chuang Yi translation.)

'''Togekiss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トゲキッス''' ''Togekiss'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Togekiss is a vaguely avian Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. It is covered in white, downy feathers and has broad, triangle-shaped wings that allow it to soar effortlessly. Interestingly, Togekiss lacks the stubby arms that its pre-evolutions had. Its underbelly is dotted with the small red and blue triangular spots that are the signature of the Togepi evolution family. Togekiss has very small feet which are set close together, making them somewhat awkward for moving about on the ground. The former spikes on its head have grown into a three-pointed crest. The middle point is white all the way to the tip, but the left and right spikes are tipped in blue and red respectively (the reverse is true for its {{shiny}} form).

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Togekiss learns a wide range of elemental attacks, as well as various aerial and wind-based moves. Most notably, it is able to wield {{m|Aura Sphere}}, along with {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Mienfoo}} and its {{p|Mienshao|family}}, the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that are able to learn it.

===Behavior===
Togekiss are generally friendly and caring Pokémon. They tend to avoid conflict, supposedly never appearing where strife is occurring. They are also said to share blessings with those who love another. However, Togekiss are also powerful fighters capable of using a wide variety of attacks. They will protect their young, {{p|Togepi}}, with miraculous care. These Pokémon soar gracefully through the air, often performing tricks and aerial maneuvers.

===Habitat===
Togekiss are so vastly rare that many Trainers do not bother trying to find one. Instead, most Trainers prefer evolving their Togetic into a Togekiss with a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DawnTogekiss.png|thumb|right|250px|Togekiss in the anime.]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dawn's Togekiss]]====

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and their remakes, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth protruding from its mouth. It has two eyes that are rarely seen open, giving it the appearance that it is sleeping. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|two hind feet}}, with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms and fore claws are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.
====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw {{m|Mega Punch|incredibly powerful punches}} and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s. Snorlax have a strong digestion system, allowing them to eat anything (even moldy food) without getting an upset stomach.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax is not satisfied until it consumes {{tt|900 pounds|400 kilograms}} of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way. Aside from this, they are very docile and even allow children to bounce on their big bellies.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there. They have been documented in [[Kanto]], and evidence suggests that they could be found in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax are not picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible---even other Pokémon. (as evidenced by a Snorlax's attempt to eat Misty's Goldeen in [[EP094|Snack Attack]]) They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of bananas found in grasslands. Snorlax only wake up to eat. They need to eat about 900lbs (90% of their bodyweight) to be satisfied before falling back to sleep. Some Snorlax sleep for a month at a time, so 900lbs of food is enough to sustain them for at least one month whilst asleep.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Snorlax.png|thumb|250px|right|Snorlax in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Snorlax EToP.png|thumb|200px|right[[Ash's Snorlax]] as seen in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash's Snorlax}}
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} found Snorlax eating all of the fruit on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]]. With the help of {{an|Ruby}} and {{an|Jigglypuff}}, Ash managed to defeat and capture the Snorlax. Snorlax made no further major appearances after that chapter.
[[File:Snor.png|thumb|200px|left|{{adv|Red}}'s Snorlax, Snor]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], awakening it by exploiting its gluttonous nature with the {{p|Beedrill}} honey left on [[Saur]]'s head. Afterwards, it became one of Red's favorite fighters, allowing him to stop {{adv|Green}} after she stole his money (only to discover later that she then seized his Badges during the ensuing fight), and overcome dozens of challenges along his journey with few defeats, being able to force {{adv|Blue}} to recall his {{p|Machamp}}, and even stop a full-speed train in its tracks much later on in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}. In addition, to date, it is his highest-level party Pokémon at level 89.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Snorlax took part in a baseball match in ''[[PM021|Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!]]''.

Giovanni sent out a Snorlax to prevent anyone from winning the contest he hosted on TV.

===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Snorlax which was one of the Pokémon that battled {{ma|Enta}} in ''[[CBF6|Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Snorlax.png|thumb|200px|right|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
====Melee trophy information====
''Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

==== Brawl trophy information ====

''"A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging {{m|Snore}} attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], when it was out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}, Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it is as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
** It is, however, the heaviest Pokémon that has a gender.
** Snorlax is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** Snorlax is the heaviest Pokémon that can legally hatch from an Egg.
*** Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} can be seen to hatch in [[Generation IV]] because of the {{p|Arceus}} event. However, the Egg does not hatch by the standard method.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but cannot naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]]. However, it can learn it as a Move Tutor move in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** Similarly, Snorlax is able to learn {{m|Harden}} in [[Generation I]] games, but cannot in later generations.
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the [[Poké Flute]] is used.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass and higher {{stat|Attack}}.
*{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only games in which Snorlax is in the regional Pokédex and is not encountered as an obstacle that is blocking a route.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player interacts with a Snorlax that is [[Walking Pokémon|walking]] with them, the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. This is based on {{ga|Red}}, who is also at Mt. Silver, owning a Snorlax as well. While on Mt. Silver, unique messages will also appear if the player's walking Pokémon is a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}}.
* Snorlax is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be in the black [[List of Pokémon by color|color group]].

===Origin===
Snorlax may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s. It may also be based on the large, cave dwelling bears, {{wp|Ursus spelaeus}}. It may also be based on a food coma, as it eats and eats and eats, then gets tired and sleeps (symptoms of a food coma)

====Name origin====
Snorlax is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax'' or ''relax''.

Kabigon may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'' (snoring) or 憩う ''ikou'' (rest). It may also incorporate 黴 ''kabi'' (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and their remakes, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth protruding from its mouth. It has two eyes that are rarely seen open, giving it the appearance that it is sleeping. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|two hind feet}}, with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms and fore claws are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.
====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw {{m|Mega Punch|incredibly powerful punches}} and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s. Snorlax have a strong digestion system, allowing them to eat anything (even moldy food) without getting an upset stomach.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax is not satisfied until it consumes {{tt|900 pounds|400 kilograms}} of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way. Aside from this, they are very docile and even allow children to bounce on their big bellies.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there. They have been documented in [[Kanto]], and evidence suggests that they could be found in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax are not picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible---even other Pokémon. (as evidenced by a Snorlax's attempt to eat Misty's Goldeen in [[EP094|Snack Attack]]) They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of bananas found in grasslands. Snorlax only wake up to eat. They need to eat about 900lbs (90% of their bodyweight) to be satisfied before falling back to sleep. Some Snorlax sleep for a month at a time, so 900lbs of food is enough to sustain them for at least one month whilst asleep.

==In the anime==

[[File:Snor.png|thumb|200px|left|{{adv|Red}}'s Snorlax, Snor]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], awakening it by exploiting its gluttonous nature with the {{p|Beedrill}} honey left on [[Saur]]'s head. Afterwards, it became one of Red's favorite fighters, allowing him to stop {{adv|Green}} after she stole his money (only to discover later that she then seized his Badges during the ensuing fight), and overcome dozens of challenges along his journey with few defeats, being able to force {{adv|Blue}} to recall his {{p|Machamp}}, and even stop a full-speed train in its tracks much later on in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}. In addition, to date, it is his highest-level party Pokémon at level 89.

{{main|Snorlax (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Snorlax.png|thumb|200px|right|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
====Melee trophy information====
''Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

==== Brawl trophy information ====

''"A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging {{m|Snore}} attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], when it was out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}, Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it is as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
** It is, however, the heaviest Pokémon that has a gender.
** Snorlax is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
** Snorlax is the heaviest Pokémon that can legally hatch from an Egg.
*** Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} can be seen to hatch in [[Generation IV]] because of the {{p|Arceus}} event. However, the Egg does not hatch by the standard method.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but cannot naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]]. However, it can learn it as a Move Tutor move in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** Similarly, Snorlax is able to learn {{m|Harden}} in [[Generation I]] games, but cannot in later generations.
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the [[Poké Flute]] is used.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass and higher {{stat|Attack}}.
*{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only games in which Snorlax is in the regional Pokédex and is not encountered as an obstacle that is blocking a route.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player interacts with a Snorlax that is [[Walking Pokémon|walking]] with them, the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. This is based on {{ga|Red}}, who is also at Mt. Silver, owning a Snorlax as well. While on Mt. Silver, unique messages will also appear if the player's walking Pokémon is a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}}.
* Snorlax is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be in the black [[List of Pokémon by color|color group]].
* Snorlax, along with [[Magmortar]], [[Blissey]], [[Kingdra]], [[Electivire]], and [[Togekiss]], have the highest base stat totals of a Pokémon related to a Pokémon from another generation, via [[evolution]], with 540.
** Of these, Snorlax is the only one that is not related to a Pokémon from [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Snorlax may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s. It may also be based on the large, cave dwelling bears, {{wp|Ursus spelaeus}}. It may also be based on a food coma, as it eats and eats and eats, then gets tired and sleeps (symptoms of a food coma)

====Name origin====
Snorlax is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax'' or ''relax''.

Kabigon may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'' (snoring) or 憩う ''ikou'' (rest). It may also incorporate 黴 ''kabi'' (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.

==In the manga==
[[File:Juan Kingdra Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Kingdra in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into Kingdra when he traded it to {{adv|Gold}} for {{p|Poliwhirl}}, which also [[Polibo|evolved]]. The two then traded back, so that each would have their original, though evolved, Pokémon. It was then used in his battle with Gold in the ruins of [[Ecruteak City]], where it defeated {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Sudobo}} after being switched in. He also uses it to {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}}.

[[Clair]] of the [[Blackthorn Gym]] also has a Kingdra.

[[Juan]] also has a Kingdra which he used it to assist {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} in their training.

==Trivia==
* Kingdra is the only non-legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon not to have a weakness to {{t|Ice}}.
* Although it is called '''King'''dra, {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to one female|it can be male or female}}.
* Kingdra was the first Dragon-type Pokémon not to be part of the {{p|Dratini}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]].
* Though many of Kingdra's Pokédex entries state that it can create whirlpools, it can only learn {{m|Whirlpool|the move}} via [[HM]].
** However, many of its Pokédex entries state it creates whirlpools by yawning, and it can learn the move {{m|Yawn}}.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, and is, along with {{p|Misdreavus}}, the only Pokémon introduced in a generation in which there are no other Pokémon of one of its types.
* Kingdra's name is often mistranslated to "Kingora" in the Chuang-Yi translation of [[Pokémon Adventures]].
* Kingdra is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation II whose name starts with K.
* Kingdra, along with [[Magmortar]], [[Blissey]], [[Electivire]], [[Snorlax]], and [[Togekiss]], have the highest base stat totals of a Pokémon related to a Pokémon from another generation, via [[evolution]], with 540.

===Origin===
Kingdra is based on a {{wp|weedy sea dragon}}, but still shares many characteristics with regular {{wp|Seahorse}}s. The fact that it dwells on the sea floor while creating whirlpools may be based on the mythical monster {{wp|Charybdis}}. Its secondary {{type|Dragon}} may be a reference to a Japanese name for seahorses, 竜の落し子 ''tatsu-no-otoshigo'', which means "dragon's child".

====Name origin====
Kingdra may be a combination of ''king'' and ''dragon''. ''Dra'' may also come from ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}'', a mythological sea creature.

'''Blissey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハピナス''' ''Happinas'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chansey}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]]. She is the final form of {{p|Happiny}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blissey has a large egg shaped body, one half pink and the other white. The hair-like growths she had as a Chansey have curled up on her head. She has white, wing-like appendages where her arms meet her body and around her middle. She seems to have lost the tail she had as a Chansey. Like her pre-evolutions, she has a pouch on her stomach that holds an egg.

====Gender differences====
Blissey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
It is said that anyone who takes one bite of a Blissey's egg will become unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone.

Blissey, and her pre-evolved form, Chansey, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Softboiled}} naturally. However, {{p|Mew}} could learn it from a TM in [[Generation I]], while members of the {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Togepi}} families can be tutored the move in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Smeargle}} can also {{m|Sketch}} the move.

===Behavior===
Blissey is an extremely compassionate {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by nature. If she sees a sick Pokémon, she will attempt to nurse the injured Pokémon back to health. Blissey's fluffy fur allows her to sense feelings of sadness. Upon sensing any sadness, this Pokémon will race to the source of the sadness, no matter the distance, and share her egg of happiness that instantly makes a person smile.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Blissey are commonly seen in [[Pokémon Center]]s under the ownership of [[Nurse Joy]], but have not been seen in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:EP129.png|thumb|right|250px|Blissey in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Nurse Joy's Blissey]]====
{{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}} first appeared in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'' where she emerged as a friend of [[Jessie]]'s from their time at Nursing School.

====Other====
Another Blissey made an appearance in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' where she was found working in the [[Pokémon Center]] near [[Lake Acuity]] to help treat Ash's injured Pokémon.

===Minor appearances===
A Blissey made a brief appearance in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP129|Blissey|Ash's Pokédex|Blissey, the Happiness Pokémon. It is kindhearted and loves helping people. Blissey is the [[Evolution|evolved]] form of {{p|Chansey}}.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Emerald Blissey Adventures.png|150px|thumb|Blissey in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Blissey captured by {{adv|Crystal}} and lent to {{adv|Emerald}} for his [[Battle Pike|Pike]] challenge appeared in the {{PAV|27|27th volume}}. With her high Special Defense aided by a suitable nature served much use for the boy, and though she was eventually defeated, she was able to revitalize another borrowed Pokémon, a {{p|Rapidash}}, using {{m|Softboiled}}, with which the queen's {{p|Seviper}} was defeated by a devastating {{m|Overheat}}, winning him the match.

[[Cheryl]] has a Blissey which was used against [[Mira]] and her {{p|Alakazam}} in ''[[PS417|VS. Lopunny]]''.

==Trivia==
* Blissey's {{DL|Stats|Hit Points|HP}} base [[Stats|stat]] is the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest legitimate single stat]] out of all Pokémon, at 255, giving her the ability to have the highest HP of any other Pokémon in the games (with a total of 714 HP if 252 HP EVs are added and if she has 31 HP IVs). Her HP base stat of 255 is the highest base stat possible, as all base stats are a single byte, the maximum value of which is 255 (1111 1111).
* Blissey and her evolution family, {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Chansey}}, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Lucky Punch}}, {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}, {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}}, and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Oval Stone}}.
** Coincidentally, three of them have the word "luck" in their names, referring to Chansey's Japanese name, ''Lucky''. However, unlike the Lucky Punch and the Luck Incense, the Lucky Egg's Japanese name does not contain the word ''Lucky''.
* Blissey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Togetic}}. They are both known as Happiness Pokémon.
* In [[Generation III]], Blissey learns a move earlier than her pre-evolved form, Chansey. Chansey learns {{m|Egg Bomb}} at level 35, whilst Blissey learns it at level 28.
* Blissey has the highest {{DL|Stats|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Blissey has the highest base experience yield out of any Pokémon, with 608 (255 in [[Generation IV]] and previous, where it still held the title along with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Arceus}}).
* Blissey, along with [[Magmortar]], [[Electivire]], [[Kingdra]], [[Snorlax]], and [[Togekiss]], have the highest base stat totals of a Pokémon related to a Pokémon from another generation, via [[evolution]], with 540.

===Origin===
She may be based on a nurse. Design-wise, she appears to have some physical similarities to [[Nurse Joy]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} in both color and hair.

====Name origin====
Blissey derives from ''bliss'' (happiness), combined with the suffix ''sey'' from ''{{p|Chansey}}'', her pre-evolution.

Happinas may be a corruption of ''happiness'', or it may be a combination of ''happiness'' and ''nurse''. It may also involve 茄子 ''nasu'' ({{wp|eggplant}}), referring to the egg theme of this evolutionary line.

'''Magmortar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブーバーン''' ''Booburn'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magmar}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon which evolve when traded|traded}} holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}}. It is the final form of {{p|Magby}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Magmortar cannon.png|thumb|left|Magmortar's cannon]]
Magmortar is a large, vaguely humanoid, red-and-yellow-striped Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. Notably, it has yellow, tubular arms with three small claws on each "hand." When Magmortar prepares to shoot fire from its hands, the claws may disappear into its skin, forming something similar to a cannon. Its legs are similar to {{p|Magmar|its pre-evolution's}}, except that Magmortar has pink thighs and its legs are smaller in proportion to its body. It also has pink lips and a mouth usually seen in a smile. It has one large flame on its head, as well as large flames on its shoulders and tail. Also, it has four pink spikes on its back.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Magmortar can use any attack its pre-evolutions do, but more powerfully. It can also use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Rock Slide}}, all of which can be useful in taking down foes with a type advantage over it.

===Behavior===
It blasts fireballs of over 3,600°F (2,000°C) from its cannon-like arms, its body taking on a whitish hue from the heat.

===Habitat===
Magmortar like to live in the deep, boiling-hot craters of volcanoes.

==Trivia==
*Magmortar, along with {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Gliscor}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, both the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Magmarizer}} and {{p|Magby}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}.
*Magmortar can learn {{m|ThunderPunch}}, a move not of its type, in three different ways: as a starting move, by tutoring, and as an Egg move. It shares this trait with its counterpart, {{p|Electivire}}, who learns {{m|Fire Punch}} in this manner.
*Magmortar and {{p|Electivire}}'s relation is reminiscent of that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, since both are oppositions between fire and electricity.
*Magmortar, along with [[Electivire]], [[Blissey]], [[Kingdra]], [[Snorlax]], and [[Togekiss]], have the highest base stat totals of a Pokémon related to a Pokémon from another generation, via [[evolution]], with 540.

===Origin===
Magmortar seems to be a buffed-up combination of a {{wp|duck}} or {{wp|booby}} with a mythical {{wp|Salamander#Mythology|Salamander}}.

====Name origin====
Magmortar may be a combination of ''{{wp|magma}}'' and ''{{wp|mortar (weapon)|mortar}}'' (referring to how it shoots fireballs from its cannon-like arms).

Booburn is a combination of ''{{wp|booby}}'' and ''burn''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Voldon.png|thumb|Voldon's Electivire Costume]]
* Electivire has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Electivire shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Zebstrika}}. They are both known as Thunderbolt Pokémon.
** It is one of a few Pokémon whose species name in English is the same as the name of a {{m|Thunderbolt|move}}.
* Electivire, along with {{p|Magmortar}}, {{p|Gliscor}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, both the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} and {{p|Elekid}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.
** This excludes the special Electivire available through Battle Revolution.
* An Electivire Costume is worn by [[Voldon]] in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
* Electivire was the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} that [[AG192|debuted]] before the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] not to have debuted in a {{pkmn|movie}} first.
* Electivire can learn {{m|Fire Punch}}, a move not of its type, in three different ways: as a starting move, by tutoring, and as an Egg move. It shares this trait with its counterpart, {{p|Magmortar}}, who learns {{m|ThunderPunch}} in this manner.
** {{p|Magmortar}} and Electivire's relation is reminiscent of that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, since both are oppositions between fire and electricity.
* Electivire, along with [[Magmortar]], [[Blissey]], [[Kingdra]], [[Snorlax]], and [[Togekiss]], have the highest base stat totals of a Pokémon related to a Pokémon from another generation, via [[evolution]], with 540.

===Origin===
Electivire was likely based on a {{wp|gorilla}} due to it being two-legged and its hairy features. It may also be based on a {{wp|Yeti}}, an ape-like {{wp|cryptid}} that was said to inhabit the {{wp|Himalaya Mountains}}. Unlike a gorilla, it can walk with its large bare-feet much like how an Electivire can. Its Motor Drive Ability is similar to an electric motor.

====Name origin====
Electivire is a combination of ''electric'' or ''electricity'' and ''wire'' (referring to its cord-like tails). It may also derive from ''live wire'', a wire in which electric current flows.

Elekible may be a combination of ''electric'' or ''electricity'' and ''cable''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Voldon.png|thumb|Voldon's Electivire Costume]]
* Electivire has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Electivire shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Zebstrika}}. They are both known as Thunderbolt Pokémon.
** It is one of a few Pokémon whose species name in English is the same as the name of a {{m|Thunderbolt|move}}.
* Electivire, along with {{p|Magmortar}}, {{p|Gliscor}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, both the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} and {{p|Elekid}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.
** This excludes the special Electivire available through Battle Revolution.
* An Electivire Costume is worn by [[Voldon]] in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
* Electivire was the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} that [[AG192|debuted]] before the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] not to have debuted in a {{pkmn|movie}} first.
* Electivire can learn {{m|Fire Punch}}, a move not of its type, in three different ways: as a starting move, by tutoring, and as an Egg move. It shares this trait with its counterpart, {{p|Magmortar}}, who learns {{m|ThunderPunch}} in this manner.
** {{p|Magmortar}} and Electivire's relation is reminiscent of that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, since both are oppositions between fire and electricity.
* Electivire, along with [[Magmortar]], [[Blissey]], [[Kingdra]], [[Snorlax]], and [[Togekiss]], have the highest base stat totals of a Pokémon related to a Pokémon from another generation, via [[evolution]], with 540.
** Coincidentally, they are all related to a Generation I Pokémon.

===Origin===
Electivire was likely based on a {{wp|gorilla}} due to it being two-legged and its hairy features. It may also be based on a {{wp|Yeti}}, an ape-like {{wp|cryptid}} that was said to inhabit the {{wp|Himalaya Mountains}}. Unlike a gorilla, it can walk with its large bare-feet much like how an Electivire can. Its Motor Drive Ability is similar to an electric motor.

====Name origin====
Electivire is a combination of ''electric'' or ''electricity'' and ''wire'' (referring to its cord-like tails). It may also derive from ''live wire'', a wire in which electric current flows.

Elekible may be a combination of ''electric'' or ''electricity'' and ''cable''.

'''Pokémon Black Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック {{tt|２|ツー}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Black 2'') and '''Pokémon White Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト {{tt|２|ツー}}''' ''Pocket Monsters White 2'') are the second {{DL|Version|Relation to one another|paired versions}} of [[Generation V]] and are the sequels of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], respectively.

Both games were revealed on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' by [[Junichi Masuda]], and subsequently the official Japanese and international<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]</ref> Pokémon websites, on February 26, 2012. They were released in Japan on June 23, 2012. It is scheduled to be released in North America on October 7, 2012, Australia on October 11, 2012 and in Europe on October 12, 2012.

The games feature two new formes of {{p|Kyurem}} that serve as the [[version mascot]]s of the games: Black Kyurem (Japanese: ブラックキュレム) for Black 2 and White Kyurem (Japanese: ホワイトキュレム) for White 2.

==Plot==
The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. The [[Unova]] region appears to have changed significantly. New locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, one of them being [[Aspertia City]], the player's new hometown, while a few previously existing locations such as [[Challenger's Cave]] are not accessible anymore. New [[Gym]]s and [[Gym Leader]]s are also introduced, and the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is expanded to include Pokémon foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}.

The player is able to choose to play as the boy {{ga|Kyouhei}}, or the girl {{ga|Mei}}, as they travel across the region against their rival, [[Hugh]].


==Changes from Pokémon Black & White==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Kyouhei (game)|game]] [[Mei (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[legendary musketeers]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version.
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, Exp. Points  and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* The area eyecatch has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* New locations, such as [[Aspertia City]] and [[Sangi Town]], have been added to the game.
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Banjirou]].
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns.
* All Unova gyms receive redesigns.
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* Every trainer has their own fully animated sprite.
* Several attacks have received new battle animations.
* The battle menu has seen a redesign.
* The C-Gear has been redesigned.
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon.
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green.
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites.
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2.
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2.
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed while {{rt|10|Unova}} was locked off due to landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible. In place of [[Cold Storage]] there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

===Storyline changes===
{{spoilers}}
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]].
* Instead of the usual 5 [[Poké Balls]], the player is given 10 at the start of your journey.
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]], [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by Cheren, Roxie and Marlon.
* Bianca gives the player a [[Starter Pokémon]].
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Ghetsis]].
* [[Colress]], a Team Plasma member, is battled frequently throughout the story.
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]] and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story.
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon.
* Iris is the new Champion of Unova.
* Ghetsis returns and plans to freeze Unova with Kyurem.
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup|W2}}, who is fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup|W2}}.
* Unlike [[Pokemon Black and White]], the version mascots Black Kyurem{{sup|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup|W2}} can't be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements.
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca and a daily tag battle with one of Chili, Cress or Cilan (against the other two). 
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others.
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here.
* Lenora revives the player's fossils.
* Several new key items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced.
* During the post-game, the player may find N at his castle and on the first visit, battles his Zekrom{{sup|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season.

===Gameplay changes===
* The new [[Unova Link]] is introduced, which makes way for new features.
* Challenge Mode and Assist Mode are introduced, which raise and lower the strength of opposing trainers respectively.
* A new feature called the [[Memory Link]] is introduced, which has flashbacks from the NPCs that shed light on events that happened between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2. 
* Many TMs and all but [[HM06|one]] HM are received in different locations.
* The Xtransceiver adds two new mini-games called Balloon Catch, where the player needs to catch balloons of their face or an NPC's, and Balloon Smash, where the player needs to inflate the balloons as large as possible without bursting them.
* A number of legendaries from Hoenn and Sinnoh (excluding the [[Weather trio]] and [[Creation trio]]) can be found in the post-game.
* {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{TM|95|Snarl}}, which were previously accessible through Nintendo events only, can now be found within the game without any special requirements.
* The [[Kami Trio]] are notably the only [[Unova]] regional Pokémon absent from either game and must be obtained through the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and then transferred or alternatively they can be traded from {{2v2|Black|White}}. The Dream Radar is also necessary to obtain their new [[Form differences#Kami trio|forms]].

==Features==
===Pokémon World Tournament===
{{main|Pokémon World Tournament}}
A new facility featured in Black 2 and White 2 is the Pokémon World Tournament, where the player is able to battle every [[Gym Leader]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except [[Koga]] and [[Iris]]) from the main series games in various types of battles.

===Pokéstar Studios===
{{main|Pokéstar Studios}}
Pokéstar Studios is a new feature in the games that allows the player to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The player chooses from various scenarios and acts them out.

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}
Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.

===Sprite animations===
Just like in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allows for smoother animations.

The game also introduces new entry sprite animations for Pokémon, much as if it were a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
* [[N's Pokémon]], which are obtainable through [[Memory Link]], (with the exception of N's {{p|Zorua}}, who is obtainable during the main plot) have a green/yellow diamond shine, along with their own sound.
* Also, in the [[Pokéstar Studios]], when a player successfully completes a movie with their Pokémon in an unusual matter by deviating from the script, their Pokémon will become a star and during battles, when the Pokémon is summoned, a star will bounce upwards and then back downwards. This is the only entry animation that can be added manually by the player.

===Gyms===
Within the two years separating Black 2 and White 2 from their predecessors, some of the past [[Gym Leader]]s have passed on their positions to others or retired the [[Gym]] from the [[Unova League]]. The eight Gym Leaders of Unova are now: [[Cheren]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Roxie]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Drayden]] ({{t|Dragon}}) and [[Marlon]] ({{t|Water}}).

===Elite Four and Champion===
Like {{2v2|Black|White}}, the [[Elite Four]] can be battled in any order; after battling all four, a path to the {{pkmn|Champion}} is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), and [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}). The new Champion is [[Iris]].

==Pokémon==
Each game features a Pokédex of 300 different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous [[generation]]s such as {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Marill}}.

==Compatibility==
Black 2 and White 2 can connect with the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], which transfer Pokémon found to the player's game. The [[Pokémon Global Link]] has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as {{v2|Platinum}} is to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The games can connect as with games of the same generation, and they operate on the same {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station}} server. Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] games Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver can be transferred to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

==Trivia==
* These will be the first main series games since {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} in September 2004 to be released in North America in the fall months, as opposed to spring months.
* The localization period for Black 2 & White 2 is the shortest worldwide, lasting about three and a half months.
* These are the first main series Pokémon games to have numbers in their title.
* This is the first sequel from the main series to feature the number two in its title.
* This is the first main series game in which the primary antagonist ([[Ghetsis]] in this case) attempts to kill the player (Ghetsis attempts to do so by using Kyurem's ice to impale the player character).
** However, this is not the first game in which this has happened, because in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], [[Kincaid]] attempts to sink a cargo ship that the player character is on.

'''Omanyte''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オムナイト''' ''Omnite'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]] and evolves into {{p|Omastar}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Omanyte has a large, pale yellow shell on its back. Its main body is sky blue with {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|ten tentacles}}, two of which are longer than the other eight. Omanyte has saucer-like eyes. It uses the many gas-filled chambers in its helix shell to remain buoyant in the water column. It regulates its buoyancy by evacuating gases from compartments. Its shell turns into the Fossil that is used to resurrect it.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Omanyte learns several {{t|Water}}-based moves and a small handful of {{type|Rock}} moves.

===Behavior===
Omanyte swims by twisting its ten tentacles about. If attacked by an enemy, it withdraws itself inside its hard shell.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Omanyte is unknown even though there have been records of Omanyte hiding deep in damp caves, but so far [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]]s are only found in the [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Unlike its evolved form, {{p|Omastar}}, this Pokémon feeds on plankton in the wild.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kenzo Omanyte.png|thumb|250px|Omanyte in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Ash}} first encountered Omanyte in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' along with all the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon. A dynamite blast woke up the Fossil Pokémon living deep beneath [[Grampa Canyon]]. They chased Ash and {{TRT}} around until an {{p|Aerodactyl}} showed up and scared them off.

Omanyte and its evolved form, {{p|Omastar}}, were discovered to be living in the [[Ruins of Alph]] and moved to a museum in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A photo of an Omanyte appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

An Omanyte made a small appearance in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''.

Three Omanyte appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' living in the [[Tree of Beginning]]. One also appeared in the opening of the movie.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Omanyte was originally known as "Ess". This is derived from the beginning of the word "escargot", which is French for ''snail''.
* Omanyte is one of five Kanto Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience is unknown. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Omanyte has a very similar cry to Machop.

===Origin===
It is based on the ''{{wp|ammonite}}''.

====Name origin====
Omanyte is a phonetic anagram of ''{{wp|ammonite}}'', the creature on which it is based.

Omnite is a combination of オウムガイ ''ōmugai'' ({{wp|nautilus}}) and ''ammonite''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Machop was originally known as "Kara-Tee". This name is a corruption of ''karate'', a fighting style.
* Machop and its evolutions have been in all Japan-centric [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex| regional]] [[Pokédex]]es.
* Despite their [[species]] classifications, Machop and its evolutions could not learn {{m|Superpower}} until {{game|Platinum}}, and even then, only by [[Move Tutor]].
** However, they have always been able to learn the move {{m|Strength}}, which shares its Japanese name with their species classification.
* In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], it's mentioned that Machop can control [[Aura]] into orbs. However, there doesn't seem to be a connection between Machop and {{p|Lucario}} (save for both being Fighting-types) and Machop can't legitimately have {{m|Aura Sphere}} in the games.
* Machop is one of five [[Generation I]] Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in [[Generation III]]. Its former base experience was 88. The others are {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Kabuto}}.
* Machop has a very similar cry to Omanyte.

===Origin===
Machop appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilding|bodybuilder}}.

====Name origin====
Machop may be a combination of ''macho'' ({{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for ''overly male'' or ''chauvinist'') and ''chop''. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to {{p|Mr. Mime}}, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, Machop's evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male.

Wanriky is a combination of the {{wp|on'yomi}} readings of 腕 ''wan'' (arm) and 力 ''riki'' (strength).

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Meganium is a sauropod-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous forms, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Bayleef}}, it has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. Also unlike its previous evolutions, its irises are yellow instead of red, and its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four feet}} have three toes instead of a single one. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower, with a yellow central pattern and white tips. Meganium has also reverted to the color it was as a Chikorita, whilst Bayleef's main body color had become a beige-yellow coloration.

====Gender differences====
A female Meganium has shorter antennae.

===Special abilities===
The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

Since Meganium is a fully evolved Pokémon and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]], it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

===Behavior===
Meganium appear to be a very benevolent and docile species. In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', Nurse Joy's Meganium was a peacemaker and tried to stop the battle between {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle}} and a {{p|Tropius}}. It was also shown that Meganium could heal Grovyle prior to the battle, however this may be isolated to {{type|Grass}}s as Meganium is able to heal hurt or dead plants.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Meganium are very rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Elisa Meganium.png|200px|thumb|Meganium in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Casey's Meganium]]====
{{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Bayleef}} evolved into Meganium sometime before ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.

====[[Vincent's Meganium]]====
[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] had a heated battle with [[Vincent]]'s Meganium in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. Vincent also used his Meganium to help save {{p|Raikou}} in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====Other====
A [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' had a Meganium, which became the object of affection for both {{AP|Ash's Grovyle|Sceptile}} and a wild {{p|Tropius}}.

===Minor appearances===
An [[Officer Jenny]] from ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' had Meganium on her squad.

In ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]'', [[Elisa]] used her Meganium to stop a {{p|Donphan}} from chasing {{Ho|Hal}} and to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing the {{p|Vibrava}}.

A Meganium appeared in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''.

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

==In the manga==
[[File:Megaree.png|thumb|150px|{{adv|Crystal}}'s Meganium, Megaree]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Megaree}}
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, {{adv|Crystal}}'s Bayleef evolved into Meganium to protect {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and herself from {{p|Lugia}}. In this new stage, it was able to help the other two starter Pokémon (who had also evolved) defend their Trainers from this imminent threat and carried Crystal on its back with its increased speed and size, and then participated in the conclusive battle against the [[Masked Man]], revealed to be [[Pryce]], trying to take down the evil mastermind but being subdued by his nimble ice puppets and doing little good in the battle.

Much later, it is revealed to have learned the {{type|Grass}} ultimate attack, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, between the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} and {{chap|Emerald}}s, and helped destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s humongous, fake Kyogre.

[[Kimberly]] also has a Meganium that she uses to demonstrate {{a|Overgrow}} with.
