For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}. For HP in the Trading Card Game, see [[Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|Glossary of terms]].''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. Stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
Hit Points, or HP for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before fainting and how long it can last in a battle. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently, Blissey has the highest base HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game, with 255. The average base HP stat is 68 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80.

If a Pokémon has more than half of its HP, its HP bar remains green. If the Pokémon has between one-fifth and half of its HP, the bar will turn yellow. If a Pokémon has less than one-fifth of its HP remaining, the bar will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV) or a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V) will notify the player that his or her Pokémon is in danger of fainting. This beeping will continue until the Pokémon is switched out to another Pokémon which has at least one-fifth of its HP, has its HP raised to one-fifth or higher by any means, or faints.

The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's cry. If a Pokémon's HP bar is green, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but if the Pokémon has less than half of its HP remaining or has fainted, its cry will be lowered by a half-step to indicate its weakened state.

More specifically speaking, HP is a whole package that consists of many things like the capacity for damage each Pokemon has, its stamina and energy levels and its willpower. Body mass plays a role too but it's not always a rule. Some Pokemon have high HP because of pure body mass like Wailord or Snorlax. Other Pokemon though, even small, have high HP because other factors set them capable of withstanding large amounts of damage before collapsing. Generally speaking, HP is how much damage the Pokemon's body can take before shutting down. Blissey for example has high HP so she has a great capacity for damage and she can tolerate massive injuries that would knock out every other Pokemon. Furthermore, HP is stamina and energy because the more stamina and energy a Pokemon has the more possible it will be for it to bounce back right after an attack. High stamina means the Pokemon can last a long time in the fight without tiring and high energy levels mean it can bounce back after an attack. Finally, HP is willpower and general toughness. Some Pokemon are just so strong willed, persistent and have so strong survival instincts that will never give up a fight. For example, Blissey has high HP and Shuckle has low HP. This means that Blissey won't give up no matter how injured it is while Shuckle will want to stop fighting as soon as it is slightly injured.

So, for example, Blissey and Wailord both have huge HP. Wailord's HP though is due to its enormous size. Blissey on the other hand has such a high HP because: 1) She is built in such a way so as to be able to survive horrific injuries and massive amounts of damage. She can tolerate a lot of damage before collapsing. 2) She has enormous stamina and energy levels. Thus, she can last forever in a fight and can bounce back immediately after an assault. 3) She has terrific willpower and perseverance. Blissey never give up a fight no matter how badly injured they might be. They do their best to survive.

HP is mainly willpower though. Even in the games, when your Pokemon faints and you pick it to battle the console says 'Your Pokemon has no will to battle'. When a Pokemon's HP reaches zero it means that it lost its willpower to keep going. Pokemon lose their willpower for battle as a result of injuries and the pain of the attacks. The more damage they receive the more their willpower falls.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme currently holds the trait of having the highest Attack stat among all the Pokémon, with 180. {{p|Rampardos}} currently has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with 165. Black {{p|Kyurem}} currently holds the highest Attack stat of all non-event Pokémon with 170. The average Attack Stat is 75 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 90.

====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{p|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest Defense stat among all the Pokémon in the game with 230. {{p|Regirock}} currently holds the highest Defense stat of all legendary Pokémon at 200. The average Defense stat is 70 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[Individual values|IV]]s and [[Effort values|EV]]s in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Mewtwo}}, with 154, had the highest Special stat among all the Pokémon in the generation in which the stat existed.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]]. {{p|Deoxys}}, when it is in Attack Forme, currently holds the highest Special Attack stat among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Chandelure}} currently has the highest Special Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon, at 145. White Kyurem currently has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon with 170. The average Special Attack Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the highest Special Defense stat among all Pokémon with 230. {{p|Regice}} currently has the highest Special Defense stat of all legendary Pokémon. The average Special Defense Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions; in the case that two Pokémon have the same speed, one of them will randomly go first. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Speed Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all Pokémon with 180. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-legendary Pokémon with 160. The average Speed Stat is 66 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 78.

The speed stat is not used in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]; however, [[movement speed]] is considered its analogue in that series.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''evasion''' stat, or '''evasiveness''', determines the percent chance that an opponent's move will miss. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If the stat is decreased below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}}, then the opposing Pokémon has a better chance of connecting its move. If the stat is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, the opposing Pokémon will have a harder time connecting its moves. It was called '''"evade"''' in [[Generation I]].

====Accuracy====
The '''accuracy''' stat determines the percent chance an attacker's move will hit. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with accuracy-raising moves, in {{Pokémon XD}} the player can also raise a Pokémon's accuracy by using the call action.

====Formula for accuracy and evasion====
The probability that a move will hit is calculated as follows:

[[File:Accuracy_calc.png]]

Where:
*''Abase'' is the base accuracy of the move (in percent - e.g. a base accuracy of 95 is counted as 0.95),
*''Accuracy'' is the current accuracy stat of the user (in percent - e.g. raising accuracy by three stages raises this number to 3), and
*''Evasion'' is the current evasion stat of the target (in percent - e.g. lowering evasion by two stages lowers this number to 0.6).

If P is greater than 1, the move will surely hit. In a 2-on-2 battle, it is possible for a move that hits two or three targets to miss some of the targets and hit others - the probabilities are calculated individually for each target.

====Belly====
The '''Belly''' is a hunger statistic appearing only in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. As the team leader explores a [[mystery dungeon]], over time its Belly will diminish, represented by a number decreasing from 100. Running or holding certain [[scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|scarves]] will cause the Belly to decrease more quickly. Other items will cause the Belly to deplete at a much slower rate, or not deplete at all. While a Pokémon's Belly is empty, its HP will decrease with every step it takes until it either [[fainting|faints]] or eats something.

Belly can be replenished with items such as [[food (Mystery Dungeon)]], [[seed]]s, [[Berry#In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Berries]], and [[gummi]]s{{tt|*|excluding the Wander Gummi}}. When a Belly-replenishing item is used at maximum Belly, the maximum Belly will increase {{tt|temporarily|until the player leaves the mystery dungeon}}, and the Belly will increase to the maximum Belly.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat or an EV-reducing Berry is used. It is also impossible for any Pokémon other than {{p|Shedinja}} not to gain HP upon leveling up without using a Pomeg Berry ({{g|Emerald}} onward) as no evolutionary line has members with a lower base HP than the pre-evolved forms.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Formula===
:''See also: [[Damage modification#Damage formula|Damage calculation]]''
====In Generations I and II====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 81 Pikachu with the following IV's and EV's:
{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{electric color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{electric color}}"

Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[File:StatExampleHPGen2_2.png]]

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen2 1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen2 2.png]]

Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

In the end, this Pikachu's stats are:

|}

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

====In Generations III, IV, and V====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal. It is also rounded down before the nature multiplier, if any, is applied.

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP, which is always 1, the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IV's and EV's and an '''Adamant''' nature:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"
|-
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}} width:60px;" |
! style="background:#{{HP color}}; width:60px;" | HP
! style="background:#{{Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Attack
! style="background:#{{Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Defense
! style="background:#{{Speed color}}; width:60px;" | Speed
! style="background:#{{Special Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Atk
! style="background:#{{Special Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Def
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}} width:60px;" | Total
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"| Base stat
|108
|130
|95
|102

|85
|'''600'''
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|IV

! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|EV
|74
|195
|86
|23
|48
|84
|'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[File:StatExampleHPGen4.png]]
[[File:StatExampleHPGen4 2.png]]

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:

[[File:StatExampleAttackGen4 1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleAttackGen4 2.png]]

And its Special Attack stat will be:

[[File:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_2.png]]

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen4_1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen4_2.png]]

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|Abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[item]]s will also do this.

In-battle stat modifiers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4. Accuracy and evasion modifications are calculated in a different manner<ref>According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=341891&postcount=7 this post] on the [[Smogon|Smogon University]] forums, the formula simply uses a base numerator and denominator of 3 instead of 2 (that is, the modifiers are instead x1.33, x1.66, x2.0, etc. on the plus side and x0.75, x0.60, x0.5, etc. on the minus side).</ref>. However, in the [[Generation I]] handheld games, the accuracy and evasion modifiers are the same as the normal stat modifiers<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/命中 Pokémon Wiki page on Hit calculation (JP)] The first section pertains to Generation I.</ref>; this was changed in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and all international versions.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase in Attack would have eight times its normal attack.

In [[Generation IV]], during a {{DL|Weather conditions|Sandstorm}}, all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below, except the [[vitamin]]s, [[wing]]s, and the EV [[Berry|Berries]], will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in.

===Stages===
When a [[status move]] is used that is meant to increase or decrease a stat of an in-use party or foe Pokémon it will be measured according to the following fractions<ref>Stage numbers from [http://www.psypokes.com/lab/stats.php Psypokes.com], some fractions simplified.</ref>:

==In the anime==
Stats in the anime appear to leave out the Special and Physical concept. It is more dependent on attack power and the amount of damage inflicted instead of Attack and Special Attack, and endurance rather than Special Defense and Defense. One example was seen in [[DP131|''Pedal to the Mettle!'']] when [[Paul]]'s {{p|Weavile}} used {{m|Swords Dance}}, an Attack-boosting move, which boosted {{m|Blizzard}}, a special move, as well as {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}. Another instance was in [[AG128|''Shocks and Bonds'']], where [[Johnny]]'s {{p|Aggron}}'s {{m|Harden}}, a Defense-boosting move, appeared to defend against {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}'s {{m|SolarBeam}}, a special move.

MasterOreo: /* {{anchor|HP|Hit Points}} */

:'''''HP''' and '''Hit Points''' redirect here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}. For HP in the Trading Card Game, see [[Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|Glossary of terms]].''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. Stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
===={{anchor|HP|Hit Points}}====
[[File:B2 HP bar.png|frame|HP bar in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2]]]]
[[File:W2 HP bar.png|frame|HP bar in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon White 2]]]]
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]] and how long it can last in a battle. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently, {{P|Blissey}} has the highest base HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game, with 255. The average base HP stat is 68 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80.

If a Pokémon has more than half of its HP, its HP bar remains green. If the Pokémon has between one-fifth and half of its HP, {{tt|the bar will turn yellow|In Generation II, a Pokémon revived to exactly half of their HP will have a green HP bar.}}. If a Pokémon has less than one-fifth of its HP remaining, the bar will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV) or a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V) will notify the player that his or her Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]]. This beeping will continue until the Pokémon is switched out to another Pokémon which has at least one-fifth of its HP, has its HP raised to one-fifth or higher by any means, or faints.

The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]]. If a Pokémon's HP bar is green, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but if the Pokémon has less than half of its HP remaining or has fainted, its cry will be lowered by a half-step to indicate its weakened state.

More specifically speaking, HP is a whole package that consists of many things like the capacity for damage each Pokemon has, its stamina and energy levels and its willpower. Body mass plays a role too but it's not always a rule. Some Pokemon have high HP because of pure body mass like Wailord or Snorlax. Other Pokemon though, even small, have high HP because other factors set them capable of withstanding large amounts of damage before collapsing. Generally speaking, HP is how much damage the Pokemon's body can take before shutting down. Blissey for example has high HP so she has a great capacity for damage and she can tolerate massive injuries that would knock out every other Pokemon. Furthermore, HP is stamina and energy because the more stamina and energy a Pokemon has the more possible it will be for it to bounce back right after an attack. High stamina means the Pokemon can last a long time in the fight without tiring and high energy levels mean it can bounce back after an attack.
Finally, HP is willpower and general toughness. Some Pokemon are just so strong willed, persistent and have so strong survival instincts that will never give up a fight. For example, Blissey has high HP and Shuckle has low HP. This means that Blissey won't give up no matter how injured it is while Shuckle will want to stop fighting as soon as it is slightly injured.

So, for example, Blissey and Wailord both have huge HP. Wailord's HP though is due to its enormous size. Blissey on the other hand has such a high HP because:
1) She is built in such a way so as to be able to survive horrific injuries and massive amounts of damage. She can tolerate a lot of damage before collapsing.
2) She has enormous stamina and energy levels. Thus, she can last forever in a fight and can bounce back immediately after an assault.
3) She has terrific willpower and perseverance. Blissey never give up a fight no matter how badly injured they might be. They do their best to survive.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme currently holds the trait of having the highest Attack stat among all the Pokémon, with 180. {{p|Rampardos}} currently has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with 165. Black {{p|Kyurem}} currently holds the highest Attack stat of all non-event Pokémon with 170. The average Attack Stat is 75 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 90.

====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{p|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest Defense stat among all the Pokémon in the game with 230. {{p|Regirock}} currently holds the highest Defense stat of all legendary Pokémon at 200. The average Defense stat is 70 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[Individual values|IV]]s and [[Effort values|EV]]s in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Mewtwo}}, with 154, had the highest Special stat among all the Pokémon in the generation in which the stat existed.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]]. {{p|Deoxys}}, when it is in Attack Forme, currently holds the highest Special Attack stat among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Chandelure}} currently has the highest Special Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon, at 145. White Kyurem currently has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon with 170. The average Special Attack Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the highest Special Defense stat among all Pokémon with 230. {{p|Regice}} currently has the highest Special Defense stat of all legendary Pokémon. The average Special Defense Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions; in the case that two Pokémon have the same speed, one of them will randomly go first. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Speed Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all Pokémon with 180. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-legendary Pokémon with 160. The average Speed Stat is 66 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 78.

The speed stat is not used in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]; however, [[movement speed]] is considered its analogue in that series.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''evasion''' stat, or '''evasiveness''', determines the percent chance that an opponent's move will miss. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If the stat is decreased below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}}, then the opposing Pokémon has a better chance of connecting its move. If the stat is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, the opposing Pokémon will have a harder time connecting its moves. It was called '''"evade"''' in [[Generation I]].

====Accuracy====
The '''accuracy''' stat determines the percent chance an attacker's move will hit. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with accuracy-raising moves, in {{Pokémon XD}} the player can also raise a Pokémon's accuracy by using the call action.

====Formula for accuracy and evasion====
The probability that a move will hit is calculated as follows:

[[File:Accuracy_calc.png]]

Where:
*''Abase'' is the base accuracy of the move (in percent - e.g. a base accuracy of 95 is counted as 0.95),
*''Accuracy'' is the current accuracy stat of the user (in percent - e.g. raising accuracy by three stages raises this number to 3), and
*''Evasion'' is the current evasion stat of the target (in percent - e.g. lowering evasion by two stages lowers this number to 0.6).

If P is greater than 1, the move will surely hit. In a 2-on-2 battle, it is possible for a move that hits two or three targets to miss some of the targets and hit others - the probabilities are calculated individually for each target.

====Belly====
The '''Belly''' is a hunger statistic appearing only in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. As the team leader explores a [[mystery dungeon]], over time its Belly will diminish, represented by a number decreasing from 100. Running or holding certain [[scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|scarves]] will cause the Belly to decrease more quickly. Other items will cause the Belly to deplete at a much slower rate, or not deplete at all. While a Pokémon's Belly is empty, its HP will decrease with every step it takes until it either [[fainting|faints]] or eats something.

Belly can be replenished with items such as [[food (Mystery Dungeon)]], [[seed]]s, [[Berry#In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Berries]], and [[gummi]]s{{tt|*|excluding the Wander Gummi}}. When a Belly-replenishing item is used at maximum Belly, the maximum Belly will increase {{tt|temporarily|until the player leaves the mystery dungeon}}, and the Belly will increase to the maximum Belly.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat or an EV-reducing Berry is used. It is also impossible for any Pokémon other than {{p|Shedinja}} not to gain HP upon leveling up without using a Pomeg Berry ({{g|Emerald}} onward) as no evolutionary line has members with a lower base HP than the pre-evolved forms.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Formula===
:''See also: [[Damage modification#Damage formula|Damage calculation]]''
====In Generations I and II====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 81 Pikachu with the following IV's and EV's:
{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{electric color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{electric color}}"

[[File:StatExampleHPGen2_2.png]]

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen2 1.png]]

Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

====In Generations III, IV, and V====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal. It is also rounded down before the nature multiplier, if any, is applied.

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP, which is always 1, the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IV's and EV's and an '''Adamant''' nature:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"
|-
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}} width:60px;" |

! style="background:#{{Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Attack

! style="background:#{{Speed color}}; width:60px;" | Speed
! style="background:#{{Special Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Atk
! style="background:#{{Special Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Def
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}} width:60px;" | Total
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"| Base stat
|108
|130

! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|EV
|74
|195
|86
|23
|48
|84
|'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[File:StatExampleHPGen4.png]]
[[File:StatExampleHPGen4 2.png]]

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:

[[File:StatExampleAttackGen4 1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleAttackGen4 2.png]]

And its Special Attack stat will be:

[[File:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_2.png]]

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen4_1.png]]
[[File:StatExampleSpeedGen4_2.png]]

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|Abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[item]]s will also do this.

In-battle stat modifiers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4. Accuracy and evasion modifications are calculated in a different manner<ref>According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=341891&postcount=7 this post] on the [[Smogon|Smogon University]] forums, the formula simply uses a base numerator and denominator of 3 instead of 2 (that is, the modifiers are instead x1.33, x1.66, x2.0, etc. on the plus side and x0.75, x0.60, x0.5, etc. on the minus side).</ref>. However, in the [[Generation I]] handheld games, the accuracy and evasion modifiers are the same as the normal stat modifiers<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/命中 Pokémon Wiki page on Hit calculation (JP)] The first section pertains to Generation I.</ref>; this was changed in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and all international versions.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase in Attack would have eight times its normal attack.

In [[Generation IV]], during a {{DL|Weather conditions|Sandstorm}}, all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below, except the [[vitamin]]s, [[wing]]s, and the EV [[Berry|Berries]], will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in.

===Stages===
When a [[status move]] is used that is meant to increase or decrease a stat of an in-use party or foe Pokémon it will be measured according to the following fractions<ref>Stage numbers from [http://www.psypokes.com/lab/stats.php Psypokes.com], some fractions simplified.</ref>:

;For Attack, Defense, Sp. Attack, Sp. Defense and Speed

==In the anime==
Stats in the anime appear to leave out the Special and Physical concept. It is more dependent on attack power and the amount of damage inflicted instead of Attack and Special Attack, and endurance rather than Special Defense and Defense. One example was seen in [[DP131|''Pedal to the Mettle!'']] when [[Paul]]'s {{p|Weavile}} used {{m|Swords Dance}}, an Attack-boosting move, which boosted {{m|Blizzard}}, a special move, as well as {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}. Another instance was in [[AG128|''Shocks and Bonds'']], where [[Johnny]]'s {{p|Aggron}}'s {{m|Harden}}, a Defense-boosting move, appeared to defend against {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}'s {{m|SolarBeam}}, a special move.

'''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. The eggs it lays are much more nutrient than common eggs due to the extremely high concentration of nutrients and also due to extra compounds that can't be found in eggs like endorphins and dopamine. Thus, only one bite of the egg is enough to relieve physical aches, revitalize and make anyone feel refreshed and happy. As a result, this is very beneficial in battle because the Pokemon not only feels revitalized but every pain vanishes so it can keep fighting for longer.
Blissey is known for their tremendous stamina. The main reason is that their heart and lungs are unusually large and robust. They are basically thrice the size of that of other Pokemon their size and their heart alone takes up to 3% of their body size. Blissey were also found to have amazingly large amounts of dopamine and endorphins, not only in their eggs, but in their bodies as well. Thus, they have the highest pain tolerance of all Pokemon and can still keep going even when suffering horrific injuries from battles which other Pokemon wouldn't be able to handle. Blissey are very hard to knock down because they have a large capacity to incur more damage than normal before fainting, especially if it isn't physical, so they are a common member in most teams.

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===

[[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}}).

===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. She also bears slight resemblance to koalas considering their pouch, round appearance and 'hair growths' that look like koalas' ears.

====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.

'''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. The eggs it lays are much more nutrient than common eggs due to the extremely high concentration of nutrients and also due to extra compounds that can't be found in eggs like endorphins and dopamine. Thus, only one bite of the egg is enough to relieve physical aches, revitalize and make anyone feel refreshed and happy. As a result, this is very beneficial in battle because the Pokemon not only feels revitalized but every pain vanishes so it can keep fighting for longer.
Blissey is known for their tremendous stamina. The main reason is that their heart and lungs are unusually large and robust. They are basically thrice the size of that of other Pokemon their size and their heart alone takes up to 3% of their body size. Blissey were also found to have amazingly large amounts of dopamine and endorphins, not only in their eggs, but in their bodies as well. Thus, they have the highest pain tolerance of all Pokemon and can still keep going even when suffering horrific injuries from battles which other Pokemon wouldn't be able to handle. Blissey are very hard to knock down because they have a large capacity to incur more damage than normal before fainting, especially if it isn't physical, so they are a common member in most teams.

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.

==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}}).

===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.

==Trivia==
* Although its Pokédex entry in HeartGold says it is able to easily carry an adult in flight, Yanmega is unable to learn the move {{m|Fly}}.
* Yanmega and {{p|Yanma}} share the same Speed base stat.
* Yanmega has the highest {{stat|HP}} of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Yanmega and its pre-[[evolution]], {{p|Yanma}}, along with {{p|Togetic}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Giratina}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (by {{m|Sketch}}), are the only Pokémon that can learn all three [[Move variations|variations]] of {{m|AncientPower}}.

===Origin===
It is, as its name suggests, based on the ''{{wp|Meganeura|Meganeura monyi}}'', a particularly large, prehistoric species of {{wp|Dragonfly|dragonflies}}.

====Name origin====
Yanmega's name is a combination of 蜻蜓 ''yanma'', large dragonfly in Japanese, and {{wp|Meganeura}}, a species of gigantic prehistoric dragonfly. Its Japanese name means the same thing, albeit in reverse. However, it could just simply be a combination of ''mega'', meaning large, and ''yanma''.

'''Starmie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スターミー''' ''Starmie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Staryu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Starmie, like its pre-evolved form, resembles a sea star. This time its main body is violet but it still retains the gold formation on its front. Starmie’s red jewel core is larger than {{p|Staryu}}’s and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone. The major change that took place upon evolution to Starmie was the growing of a second star on its back. It is semi-attached being able to spin 360°.

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

====Special abilities====
Starmie’s central core shines with the seven colors of the rainbow when looked at from different angles, but usually shows up red more than any other color. It can also emit electrical waves from the core that are powerful enough to reach the furthest parts of the universe.

It uses its second star to propel itself through the water and even to launch out of the water and fly through the air for short periods of time. This also allows it use attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

Starmie still has all of the abilities of Staryu including {{m|Recover|re-growing limbs}}, {{m|Camouflage|changing its skin's color}} and texture, and using its core for energy attacks.Starmie's Hydro Pump is powerful enough to break through concrete walls,tip over a tank and repel foes pushing them many meters away and causing severe damage.It is said that it's Hydro Pump is so powerful no human can endure it.

===Behavior===
As Starmie, the Pokémon’s behaviors hint more and more to it being an [[alien]] from another planet. At night it becomes active, just like Staryu, although now it will send off mysterious radio signals while its luminescent core flickers. In the anime, the core also blinks if it is knocked out or low on energy.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Starmie are a rare sight in the wild, as they require a {{evostone|Water Stone}} to evolve from Staryu. Not only this, but they are nocturnal, usually only appearing at night. If they are ever found in the wild it is in the deepest parts of the ocean among many other Staryu. Naturally, their range is basically the same as Staryu's.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Like most Pokémon, Starmie’s eating habits are unknown but it’s very probable it filter feeds considering the Pokémon’s lack of a mouth.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Starmie Debut.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Misty's Starmie|Starmie]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Starmie]]====
Starmie first appeared in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. Misty used it in battle fairly often, but preferred to use [[Misty's Staryu|her Staryu]] more.

====Other====
[[Rudy]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Trovita Island]], used a Starmie in his battle against [[Ash's Squirtle]] in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets her Match]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A trainer named {{oi|Marina}} used a Starmie to battle Misty in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Starmie is one of [[Misty]]'s Pokémon, it makes a cameo in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in one of her [[Poké Ball]]s. It, however, debuts later in its round ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' defeating {{adv|Red}} in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. It also allows her to read and pass on a Pokémon's thoughts using an ancient language that is easily decoded.

Both [[Sird]] and [[Archie]] also have Starmie on their teams (many in the latter's case).

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Starmie floats to the closest opponent and barrage them with {{m|Swift}}. Each hit does 3% damage, and touching Starmie itself does 12% damage.

==Trivia==
* Starmie is tied with {{p|Floatzel}} for the fastest Water-type Pokémon with the base speed of 115.
* Despite being a genderless Pokémon, it was still able to learn egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. This was fixed in {{v2|Crystal}} where it could no longer breed with any Pokémon except {{p|Ditto}}.
*Although Starmie has been seen levitating in the anime and the games, it cannot have {{a|Levitate|the ability of the same name}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be a stylized {{wp|seastar}}. But on account of the second star on its back, it bears resemblance to a {{wp|crown of thorns starfish}}.

====Name origin====
Starmie's name is derived from ''star'', referring to its shape, and ''mie'', which involves 珠, which can be read as ''mi'', meaning gem or jewel, obviously referring to its core. ''Mie'' can also be seen as a misspelling of ''me'', in opposition to the ''yu'' in {{p|Staryu}}. However, the pun is not present in their Japanese names; while Starmie shares it name in both languages, Staryu's Japanese name is ''Hitodeman''.

'''Toxicroak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ドクロッグ''' ''Dokurog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Croagunk}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Toxicroak is based on the {{wp|poison dart frog}}. Its appearance is much more humanoid than Croagunk, though it still maintains the appearance of an oversized bipedal frog. Its main body color is a dark blue or teal. Its head bears a gently-upward curling spike which seems to be a part of the skull, as it is covered in the same color skin as the rest of its body. Toxicroak's eyes are bright yellow, sinister and intimidating, with a small snake-like pupil. Its mouth is not much different from Croagunk's; it still looks as though it is wearing a mouth-guard, with its red upper lip curling upward at the ends in a very intimidating manner. Underneath its chin is a bulbous red vocal sack. Its arms are shaped much like those of an {{p|Elekid}}, though not as thick and instead of three claws, Toxicroak has three fingers and one large red claw on the back of each hand. Its forearms have two black rings encircling them. Its legs are muscular and seem to be adapted for speedy attacks. It has three toes on its feet, with the middle toe red on each foot, and a sharp spike jutting out of its heels. Underneath the pelvic area Toxicroak has two white horizontal lines, which have moved down from Croagunk's chest. Toxicroak has thick black lines running down the sides of its body and surrounding its limbs, making them seem as if the limbs are detachable. The black lines go up into its face and surround the eyes before meeting in the middle of its snout, just above the upper lip.
====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller throat-sac.

====Special abilities====
Toxicroak can channel poison through the spikes on the back of their hands. By croaking, Toxicroak churn the poison stored in the poison sac on their throat for more potency. They can also have the ability {{a|Dry Skin}} which hurts them when {{m|Sunny Day}} is in effect but heals them if it's raining. It also causes them to be weak to {{type2|Fire}} moves but {{type2|Water}} moves used against Toxicroak will act as if Toxicroak had {{a|Water Absorb}}, restoring its health. Toxicroak can also have the ability {{a|Anticipation}} which lets the player know if the foe has a move that is super effective against Toxicroak. Toxicroak is also both venomous,as it can give off poison with stings and poisonous,since it can poison you even from touching it.

===Behavior===
Some Toxicroak can be cruel and fearsome, but a fair few and are quite laid-back and simply enjoy relaxing on rocks and in marshes, studying the views around them. When it croaks, the stored poison on the poison sac on its throat is churned for more potency.

===Habitat===
Like its pre-evolution, Toxicroak live in moist areas around bodies of water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DP069.png|thumb|220px|{{TP|Saturn|Toxicroak}} in the anime]]
{{TP|Saturn|Toxicroak}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to [[Saturn]]. Saturn's Toxicroak made several later appearances with [[Team Galactic]].

In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', a Toxicroak was used in the Hearthome Collection by a rocker. It was the same color as Saturn's which implies that the color for the Toxicroak is its regular color in the anime.

Toxicroak made a brief cameo in the opening of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

Another Toxicroak made a brief appearance in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Toxicroak and {{p|Croagunk|its pre-evolution}} are the only Pokémon to have the {{2t|Poison|Fighting}} [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]], and as such, they are the only Pokémon to have a double weakness to {{t|Psychic}} attacks and are the only Poison-types to have any double weakness.
**However, in Generation I, Poison-types were also weak against {{type2|Bug}}, meaning all with the {{2t|Grass|Poison}} had a double weakness.
* Toxicroak has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Poison-type Pokémon. It beats {{p|Muk}} by only one point.
===Origin===
Toxicroak may have been based on the {{wp|poison dart frog}}.
====Name origin====
Toxicroak's name is a portmanteau of the words ''toxic'' and ''croak''. Dokurog's name is a combination of 毒 ''doku'', poison, and ''frog''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Toxiquak - From ''toxin'' and ''Quak'' (croaking).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Coatox - From ''coassement'' (croaking) and ''toxine'' (toxin).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 독개굴 ''Dokgaegul''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 毒骷蛙 ''Dú Kū Wā'' - 毒骷 may be a transliteration of "doku" in its Japanese name. 毒 also means poison. The last character means frog. Literally "Poison skeleton frog".

'''Drapion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドラピオン''' ''Dorapion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Skorupi}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Drapion is a large, purple, scorpion-like Pokémon. Its eyes are a pointed shape, with blue-colored upper portions. Drapion has two small, pointed protrusions between its eyes, and one on the back on its head. Drapion also has protrusions on its jaws, two on the upper and three on the lower, with large, fang-like, white-colored features extending from its mouth. Its body is composed of many violet-to-lavender body segments which ends with a tail with two stingers. Drapion has four segmented legs with pointed toes. Its most distinguished feature is its huge claws, which have a blue circular marking on the undersides, a similar marking being on the tail, and the fact that it can turn its head 180º.

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's Pokédex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

'''Drapion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドラピオン''' ''Dorapion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Skorupi}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Drapion is a large, purple, scorpion-like Pokémon. Its eyes are a pointed shape, with blue-colored upper portions. Drapion has two small, pointed protrusions between its eyes, and one on the back on its head. Drapion also has protrusions on its jaws, two on the upper and three on the lower, with large, fang-like, white-colored features extending from its mouth. Its body is composed of many violet-to-lavender body segments which ends with a tail with two stingers. Drapion has four segmented legs with pointed toes. Its most distinguished feature is its huge claws, which have a blue circular marking on the undersides, a similar marking being on the tail, and the fact that it can turn its head 180º.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
For its size this Pokémon is very strong, and has enough power to easily scrap a car. It's also encased in a tough exoskeleton and it is quite poisonous. It can rotate its head 180 degrees, and can also extend its tail.

===Behavior===

Possessing a sturdy build, it takes pride in its strength, being able to take down foes without using venoms.

===Habitat===
It is probably native to dry desert areas, much like {{p|Skorupi}}. However, it is found in Pastoria City's [[Great Marsh]].

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's Pokédex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

'''Tangela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンジャラ''' ''Monjara'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Tangrowth}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|AncientPower}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tangela is covered with thick blue vines that obscure its face so only its eyes can be seen. It also has a pair of red boot-like feet.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Tangela's vines never stop growing and are easily replaced if lost or damaged. Tangela can ensnare and entangle its foes with its vines.

===Behavior===
It's thick blue vines are constantly jiggling and swaying. This appears to be a defensive technique, as the movement unnerves enemies and deters herbivores that might have otherwise mistaken Tangela for a shrub. Any moving object that gets too close to a Tangela will be {{m|constrict|ensnared}} by it's vines. This also appears to be a defensive technique, rather than a predatory one, because Tangela's vines will easily and painlessly snap off if the target pulls on them, suggesting that the {{m|constrict|ensnaring}} is intended to scare off potential predators.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Tangela can usually be found on the edge of many grassy plains, be it near a mountain range or the ocean. However, they can also be found in large forests or the jungle on some occasions. They are most common in [[Kanto]] & [[Johto]], & can also be found in the [[Sevii Islands]]. They have also been introduced to the [[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

===Minor appearances===
A Tangela appeared battling [[Brock's Vulpix]] in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''.

An [[Officer Jenny]] owned a Tangela in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]''.

Several Tangela appeared in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]''.

==Trivia==
* Tangela's original name was "Meduza," a misspelling of "{{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}" (a Greek mythological character).
* Tangela is the first pure {{type2|Grass}} in the National Pokédex.
** Tangela is also the only pure Grass-type in [[Generation I]]. Others were either part {{t|Psychic}}-,{{t|Bug}}- or part {{type2|Poison}}.
* Up until [[Generation IV]], Tangela was the only Generation I Grass-type to not evolve into or from something.
* Although it is said to live in plains, its [[friend area]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is the Jungle. Also, its [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Pal Park area]] is the Forest.
*Tangela and {{p|Tropius}} are the only two Pokémon that are not {{pkmn2|starter}}s or [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] of a previous generation unavailable in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. They must be transferred forward from a Generation III game or traded from {{game|Platinum}}.
**Coincidentally, both are {{t|Grass}} type.
*Despite being made of vines, in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it couldn't learn {{m|Vine Whip}}. This was later allowed in {{game|Yellow}}.

===Origin===
Tangela is probably based on {{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}, a {{wp|gorgon}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}, who had a head of snakes and turned any creature that saw her into stone. The tentacles on Tangela, however, are {{wp|vine}}s. Its Crystal sprite shows it curling into a ball, meaning it may also have design elements from {{wp|tumbleweed}} or bird-cage plants. It may also be based on a {{wp|Green Man}}, a motif that is represented as a face surrounded by leaves and vines.

====Name origin====
Tangela's name is probably a combination of the word ''tangle'' and Medusa because of its vines resembling a snake hairstyle like Medusa's. Its Japanese name may be based on もじゃもじゃ ''mojyamojya'', which means shaggy, or unkempt.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tangela
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Saquedeneu - From ''Sac de noeuds'' (knot bag).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 덩구리 ''Deongguri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 蔓藤怪 ''Màn Téng Guài'' - "Vine Monster".

'''Gloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クサイハナ''' ''Kusaihana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Oddish}} at [[level]] 21. It then evolves into either {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} or {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The "flower" on top of Gloom's head resembles a rainforest flower, the {{wp|rafflesia}}, which is said to smell like rotten meat. Gloom’s eyes seem perpetually closed in appearance, and their purple lips seem to constantly drip drool, however, the ‘drool’ is actually nectar. Gloom has gained a pair of arms, and its legs seem more developed in form.
====Gender differences====
A female has fewer, albeit larger, spots on its petals.

====Special abilities====
Gloom's most well-known special ability is launching a horrid-smelling pollen that has been described as smelling like a mixture of old sneakers, garbage, and rotten eggs with a hint of skunk fumes. This stench has shown to smell bad enough to knock out other people and Pokémon, examples of this being [[Team Rocket]] and [[Ash's Charizard|Ash's Charmander]]. Like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, Gloom can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Gloom is also able to learn powder-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, restore health in moonlight, and perform attacks that drain energy from its opponent like {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
The fluid that oozes from its mouth, despite appearance, is actually a honey-like nectar Gloom uses to attract prey. Gloom is characterized of being able to release an incredibly foul stench from the pistils and pollen of its flower. When faced with danger, the stench worsens. If Gloom is feeling calm and secure, however, it does not release its usual stinky aroma, a statement first implied in the episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Gloom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. It is commonly found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and occasionaly in [[Sinnoh]] as well.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gloom uses a nectar to attract prey.

==In the anime==
[[File:EP026.png|250px|thumb|right|{{TP|Erika|Gloom}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Erika's Gloom]]====
[[Erika]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Celadon City]], has a Gloom that [[Ash Ketchum]] rescued from the Gym when it went up in flames because of [[Team Rocket]]. Erika first met Gloom when it saved her from a {{p|Grimer}} when she was a girl. It appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

====Other====
[[Florinda]] has a Gloom which she wanted to evolve into a {{p|Vileplume}} in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''. However, this Gloom didn't need to evolve after it beat Team Rocket with its powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} attack.

A Gloom was also used by [[Gulzar]] in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Gloom also appeared in ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]''.

Gloom also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

A Gloom appeared in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Orange}}
{{Animedexbody|EP107|Gloom|Ash's Pokédex|Gloom, the Weed Pokémon. Gloom gives off a very unpleasant smell. While strong against {{t|Water}} Pokémon, Gloom is weak against {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Flying}} types.}}

==In the manga==
Gloom's most notable appearance has been as wild Pokémon. [[Erika]] owns a Gloom as part of her gym team, as with its {{p|Vileplume|its}} {{p|Bellossom|evolutions}}, but it isn't shown battling.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the Glitch Pokémon [[H POKé]] can evolve into a Gloom if it manages to reach level 224. It can then evolve normally into a {{p|Vileplume}} by {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.
* Gloom is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to have more than one Pokémon that it can evolve into as of Generation II. Before then, it was {{p|Eevee}}.
* James's description of Gloom's stench is confused in some sources as a description of his {{TP|James|Koffing|Weezing}}.
* Gloom is the only dual-type Pokémon that can evolve into a single-type Pokémon.
** It is also the only Pokémon to evolve into two different Pokémon with two different stones, other than Eevee.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Gloom and Vileplume}}
Gloom appears to resemble the nocturnal flower known as {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}, which has a foul odor. The fact that its terrible smelling pollen can be made into a wonderful perfume and that 1 in 1000 people enjoy its smell may be a reference to skunks, whose musk has similar qualities.
====Name origin====
Gloom's name is taken from the word ''gloom'', meaning something depressing, and may refer to the gloom associated with smelling its stench or its seemingly depressed face. It could also come from bloom, since it's still in the blooming stage of a {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 臭い花, stinking flower.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Duflor - From ''Duft'' (smell) and ''flor'' (flower).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ortide - From ''ortie'' (nettle) and ''fétide'' (fetid, bad-smelling).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 냄새꼬 ''Naemsaekko'' - From ''naemsae'' (smell) and ''kkot'' (flower).
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 臭臭花 ''Chòu Chòu Huā'' - "Stinky flower".

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight. Its {{m|Razor Leaf|leaves}} are so sharp that they can slice through thick trees.

===Behavior===
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1,000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and even [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Oddish anime.png|thumb|right|Two Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship’s Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

[[File:Ash Oddish manga.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Oddish first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Its capture is not shown, instead, it appears with several of Ash's other Pokémon with a note explaining that "Ash has been very busy since the last comic".

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]].

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
*Oddish is one of the two only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: ''Oddium Wanderus''. The other one is {{p|Kabutops}}.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish is most likely based on a {{wp|mandrake (plant)|mandrake}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''{{wp|radish}}'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Myrapla - Probably from ''mysteriös'' (mysterious) and ''plant''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mystherbe - From ''mystère'' (mystery) and ''herbe'' ({{wp|herb}}). The whole word sounds very similar to just ''mystère''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뚜벅쵸 ''Ttubakchyo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 走路草 ''Zǒu Lù Cǎo'' - "Walking grass".
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 行路草 (Xing Lu Cao) - "Walking grass" in Cantonese.

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight. Its {{m|Razor Leaf|leaves}} are so sharp that they can slice through thick trees.

===Behavior===
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1,000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and even [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Oddish anime.png|thumb|right|Two Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship’s Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

[[File:Ash Oddish manga.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]].

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
*Oddish is one of the two only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: ''Oddium Wanderus''. The other one is {{p|Kabutops}}.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish is most likely based on a {{wp|mandrake (plant)|mandrake}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''{{wp|radish}}'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Myrapla - Probably from ''mysteriös'' (mysterious) and ''plant''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mystherbe - From ''mystère'' (mystery) and ''herbe'' ({{wp|herb}}). The whole word sounds very similar to just ''mystère''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뚜벅쵸 ''Ttubakchyo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 走路草 ''Zǒu Lù Cǎo'' - "Walking grass".
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 行路草 (Xing Lu Cao) - "Walking grass" in Cantonese.

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight. Its {{m|RazorLeaf|leaves}} are so sharp that they can slice through thick trees.

===Behavior===
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1,000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and even [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Oddish anime.png|thumb|right|Two Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship’s Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Oddish manga.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Oddish first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Its capture is not shown, instead, it appears with several of Ash's other Pokémon with a note explaining that "Ash has been very busy since the last comic".

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]].

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
*Oddish is one of the two only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: ''Oddium Wanderus''. The other one is {{p|Kabutops}}.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish is most likely based on a {{wp|mandrake (plant)|mandrake}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''{{wp|radish}}'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Myrapla - Probably from ''mysteriös'' (mysterious) and ''plant''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mystherbe - From ''mystère'' (mystery) and ''herbe'' ({{wp|herb}}). The whole word sounds very similar to just ''mystère''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뚜벅쵸 ''Ttubakchyo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 走路草 ''Zǒu Lù Cǎo'' - "Walking grass".
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 行路草 (Xing Lu Cao) - "Walking grass" in Cantonese.

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight. Its {{|RazorLeaf|leaves}} are so sharp that they can slice through thick trees.

===Behavior===
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1,000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and even [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Oddish anime.png|thumb|right|Two Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship’s Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP010|Oddish|Ash's Pokédex|Oddish, this Pokémon is typically found roaming the forest, scattering pollen as it walks around.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Oddish manga.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

Oddish first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Its capture is not shown, instead, it appears with several of Ash's other Pokémon with a note explaining that "Ash has been very busy since the last comic".

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]].

*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Oddish}}
Oddish is most likely based on a {{wp|mandrake (plant)|mandrake}}.

====Name origin====
Oddish's name is a combination of the words ''odd'' and the vegetable known as ''{{wp|radish}}'', although ''oddish'' is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. ''Nazonokusa'' may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Myrapla - Probably from ''mysteriös'' (mysterious) and ''plant''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mystherbe - From ''mystère'' (mystery) and ''herbe'' ({{wp|herb}}). The whole word sounds very similar to just ''mystère''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뚜벅쵸 ''Ttubakchyo''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 走路草 ''Zǒu Lù Cǎo'' - "Walking grass".

'''Oddish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゾノクサ''' ''Nazonokusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gloom}} starting at [[level]] 21, who evolves into {{p|Vileplume}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, or into {{p|Bellossom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with round feet, beady red eyes, and five leaves sprouting from its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Oddish, like many other {{type2|Grass}}s, can utilize the [[sun#Intense sunlight|sun]] to become faster in sunlight. Oddish is also able to learn spore-based moves like {{m|PoisonPowder}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, and restore health in moonlight. Its {{leaves|RazorLeaf}} are so sharp that they can slice through thick trees.

===Behavior===
Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, its feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees. Oddish grows by absorbing moonlight, and the more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become. As only its leaves are exposed aboveground when it is buried into the soil, in order to avoid detection by enemies, it is said to look like a clump of weeds. It is also said to scream loudly if anyone tries to yank it out. Oddish is nocturnal, and awakes upon being exposed to moonlight. Upon awakening, it roams about actively, walking nearly 1,000 feet and scattering its seeds to create more Oddish.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common, being native to [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and even [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oddish most likely {{m|Ingrain|absorb some nutrients}} from the ground when they are buried.

==In the anime==
[[File:Oddish anime.png|thumb|right|Two Oddish in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
An Oddish owned by {{jo|Mariah}} wanted to fly with its {{p|Hoppip}} friends in ''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]'', even trying to color itself pink like a Hoppip. While it never flies, it still proves powerful enough to defeat [[Team Rocket]] on its own.

===Minor appearances===
Oddish are commonly found in the anime. Most of the time they play the victim and are usually being chased or attacked.

{{an|Misty}} attempts to catch an Oddish in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' despite not being a {{type2|Water}} because she thought it was cute. She is prevented from doing so by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Misty later apologized to it for trying to catch it while in the Hidden Village.

[[James]]'s fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], had an Oddish when she was a little girl, before it evolved into a Gloom and soon after, into a Vileplume.

Oddish is one of Pokémon in the [[Pichu Brothers]]' Possé.

An Oddish was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' at the ship’s Pokémon Center.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator.

Oddish also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

An Oddish appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

[[File:Ash Oddish manga.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Oddish in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{Ash}} owns an Oddish in the manga [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Oddish was one of the Pokémon seen during the mass migration of Pokémon at the [[Seafoam Islands]].

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation II]], [[Bill's grandfather]] asks the player to bring him a ''round'', ''green'' Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is {{shiny}}) is blue. The mistake might have been a translation error caused by the ambiguity of the word "aoi", which can mean both blue and green. This is fixed in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
*Oddish is one of the two only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: ''Oddium Wanderus''. The other one is {{p|Kabutops}}.
*In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Oddish is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be part of a branched evolutionionary family.
* Despite several Pokédex entries stating that it buries itself into the ground during the day, it cannot learn the move {{m|Dig}}.

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's pokedex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's pokedex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's pokedex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

Drapion has two small, pointed protrusions between its eyes, and one on the back on its head. Drapion also has protrusions on its jaws, two on the upper and three on the lower, with large, fang-like, white-colored features extending from its mouth. Its body is composed of many violet-to-lavender body segments which ends with a tail with two stingers. Drapion has four segmented legs with pointed toes. Its most distinguished feature is its huge claws, which have a blue circular marking on the undersides, a similar marking being on the tail, and the fact that it can turn its head 180º.

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's pokedex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

'''Drapion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドラピオン''' ''Dorapion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Skorupi}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Drapion is a large, purple, scorpion-like Pokémon. Its eyes are a pointed shape, with blue-colored upper portions. Drapion has two small, pointed protrusions between its eyes, and one on the back on its head. Drapion also has protrusions on its jaws, two on the upper and three on the lower, with large, fang-like, white-colored features extending from its mouth. Its body is composed of many violet-to-lavender body segments which ends with a tail with two stingers. Drapion has four segmented legs with pointed toes. Its most distinguished feature is its huge claws, which have a blue circular marking on the undersides, a similar marking being on the tail, and the fact that it can turn its head 180º.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
For its size this Pokémon is very strong, and has enough power to easily scrap a car. It's also encased in a tough exoskeleton and it is quite poisonous. It can rotate its head 180 degrees, and can also extend its tail.

===Behavior===

Possessing a sturdy build, it takes pride in its strength, being able to take down foes without using toxins.

===Habitat===
It is probably native to dry desert areas, much like {{p|Skorupi}}. However, it is found in Pastoria City's [[Great Marsh]].

==Trivia==
* Two of Drapion's [[ability|abilities]] revolve around critical hits. {{a|Battle Armor}} protects it from them, and {{a|Sniper}} strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
* Despite evolving from {{p|Skorupi}} at level 40, it may be caught at level 28 in the [[Great Marsh]].
* Drapion is the only Pokémon owned by {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] that is not {{type2|Bug}}, the type he specializes in. This can probably be explained because its pre-evolution, Skorupi, is part bug. Another reason may be the fact that Drapion is in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
*Despite it being said that Drapion's habitat is the Desert, the player can't catch any in any Desert route or area.
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.
*In the Pokémon Annual 2009, Drapion's pokedex entry is replaced with Girafarig's.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid).

====Name origin====
Drapion's name may be derived from ''dragon'' or ''drastic'' (because of its violent nature) or ''Dracula'' (because of its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''scorpion''. Its Japanese name may be derived from the Japanese word 'tora' (トラ) (which would become 'dora' (ドラ) in a compound word), meaning tiger, due to its striped coloration.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Piondragi - From ''Skorpion'' (scorpion), ''Drache'' (dragon), and ''Gift'' (poison).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drascore - Could be a combination of ''dragon'' and a misspelling of ''scorpion''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 드래피온 ''Drapion''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 龍王蠍 ''Lóng Wáng Xiē'' - Literally "Dragon king scorpion".

'''Lunatone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルナトーン''' ''Lunatone'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Lunatone is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely.

===Physiology===
Lunatone resembles a crescent moon. It has red eyes on the side of its body and has an unusual beak like structure in front of it. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air.

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

===Special abilities===
Lunatone's ability, {{a|Levitate}}, allows it to avoid {{type2|Ground}} moves such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}. Its powerful red eyes also fill the onlooker with fear. It is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and usually as a last resort.Its psychic powers can grow stronger under the light of the full moon. It is said that if Lunatone is exposed under the moonlight for enough time its psychic powers will grow stronger than that of an Alakazam.

===Behavior===
Lunatone's power and health seems to be tied directly to the {{wp|Lunar phase|phases of the moon}}. When there is a full moon, Lunatone is at the peak of its strength. Presumably when there is a new moon, Lunatone is defenseless. It is capable of reading the minds of other lifeforms,communicate with telepathy and [[Hypnosis|hypnotize]] others if it feels threatened.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Lunatone seems to prefer caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon has no need to feed since it derives all of its energy from moonlight.

==In the anime==
[[File:SolidasaSolrock.jpg|thumb|right|Liza's Lunatone and Tate's {{p|Solrock}}]]
Lunatone first appeared in ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]''. A pair of thieves calling themselves the [[Pokémon Mystery Club|PMC]] was after it due to wanting to get their hands on another outer-space Pokémon.

[[Tate and Liza|Liza]] and her Lunatone debuted in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]'' alongside [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] and his {{p|Solrock}}. [[Ash Ketchum]]'s Gym battle against Tate and Liza and their Meteorite Pokémon was in the [[AG100|following episode]].

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|AG087|Lunatone|Ash's Pokédex|Lunatone, the Meteorite Pokémon. Lunatone is believed by some people to have come from outer space. It moves around most actively during full moons and its powerful red eyes instill fear into anyone who beholds them.}}

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|type2=psychic
|gen=3
|rubydex=Lunatone was discovered at a location where a meteorite fell. As a result, some people theorize that this Pokémon came from space. However, no one has been able to prove this theory so far.
|sapphiredex=Lunatone becomes active around the time of the full moon. Instead of walking, it moves by floating in midair using telekinesis. The Pokémon's intimidating red eyes cause all those who see it to become transfixed with fear.
|emeralddex=It becomes very active on the night of a full moon. This Pokémon was first discovered 40 years ago at the site of a meteor strike.
|frlgdex=Its health ebbs and flows with the lunar cycle. It brims with power when exposed to the light of the full moon.
|dpptdex=Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases.
|hgssdex=It was discovered at the site of a meteor strike 40 years ago. Its stare can lull its foes to sleep.

===Origin===

====Name origin====
Lunatone's name is a combination of the {{wp|Latin}} word ''luna'', meaning moon, and the {{wp|English}} word ''stone''.

'''Lunatone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルナトーン''' ''Lunatone'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Lunatone is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely.

===Physiology===
Lunatone resembles a crescent moon. It has red eyes on the side of its body and has an unusual beak like structure in front of it. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air.

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

===Special abilities===
Lunatone's ability, {{a|Levitate}}, allows it to avoid {{type2|Ground}} moves such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}. Its powerful red eyes also fill the onlooker with fear. It is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and usually as a last resort.Its psychic powers can grow stronger under the light of the full moon. It is said that if Lunatone is exposed under the moonlight for enough time its psychic powers will grow stronger than that of an Alakazam.

===Behavior===
Lunatone's power and health seems to be tied directly to the {{wp|Lunar phase|phases of the moon}}. When there is a full moon, Lunatone is at the peak of its strength. Presumably when there is a new moon, Lunatone is defenseless. It is capable of reading the minds of other lifeforms,communicate with telepathy and [[Hypnosis(move)|hypnotize]] everyone who scares it.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Lunatone seems to prefer caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon has no need to feed since it derives all of its energy from moonlight.

==In the anime==
[[File:SolidasaSolrock.jpg|thumb|right|Liza's Lunatone and Tate's {{p|Solrock}}]]
Lunatone first appeared in ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]''. A pair of thieves calling themselves the [[Pokémon Mystery Club|PMC]] was after it due to wanting to get their hands on another outer-space Pokémon.

[[Tate and Liza|Liza]] and her Lunatone debuted in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]'' alongside [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] and his {{p|Solrock}}. [[Ash Ketchum]]'s Gym battle against Tate and Liza and their Meteorite Pokémon was in the [[AG100|following episode]].

==Trivia==
* Lunatone shares the same [[species]] name with its counterpart {{p|Solrock}}. They are both known as Meteorite Pokémon.
* Lunatone is the only Pokémon that can learn both {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}, but cannot learn {{m|Icy Wind}}.
** Lunatone cannot learn Blizzard in [[Generation III]].
* In the "Items" section of the DP Official Guide Book, Lunatone's name is misspelled as ''Lunastone''.
* Despite being a moon-like Pokémon and what was shown in ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', Lunatone cannot learn {{m|Moonlight}}.
* Without its ability, this Pokémon and its counterpart {{p|Solrock}} are the only Pokémon that have seven weaknesses and are not partially {{type2|Grass}} or doubly weak/resistant to anything. Other Pokémon that have seven weaknesses include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}}.
* Despite Pokédex entries claiming that Lunatone strikes fear into its enemies when they look it in the eyes, it does not have the ability {{a|Intimidate}}, nor can it learn {{m|Leer}} or {{m|Scary Face}} legitimately.

===Origin===
Lunatone is based on the {{wp|moon}}, as well as a {{wp|meteorite}}.

====Name origin====
Lunatone's name is a combination of the {{wp|Latin}} word ''luna'', meaning moon, and the {{wp|English}} word ''stone''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lunastein - From ''luna'' and ''Stein'' (stone).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Seleroc - From ''{{wp|Selene}}'' (a Greek goddess of the moon) and ''roc'' (rock).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 루나톤 ''Lunatone''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 月石 ''Yuè Shí'' - Literally "Moon stone".
