== Edit warring ==

Please do not continually revert edits, it falls under [[edit warring]] and is a blockable offense. If you disagree with an edit, go to the talk page of the conflicting article or go to the talk page of the user that reverted you, '''do not''' revert them back. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:37, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
:So why not tell that to the original reversion? As you say, if they disagree with the edits I made, they could've gone to the talk page. You do love your double standards here on Bulbapedia don't you? For that matter, what about yourself? You also took part, so are you not edit warring as well? Seems like you should block yourself as well. [[User:MegaNerd18|MegaNerd18]] ([[User talk:MegaNerd18|talk]]) 12:42, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
::I'm not the one the keeps adding the removed information back, and you were reverted by two separate admins who reverted you '''once''' compared to your '''twice'''.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:47, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
:::First; no, I did not revert twice. Second, being an admin shouldn't exempt you from the rules, though evidently that's the double standard around here. Honestly, with how stuck up and protective you are of the pages, why even bother using a wiki format? It's clear you don't actually want anyone except your select circle to edit anything, unless it's tiny spelling corrections or whatnot. That's pretty much a complete spit in the face of the point of this format. So why bother with it? You're just pretending to be something you're not, and the 'anyone can edit' claim on the front is effectively a lie.

MegaNerd18: /* Villainous Team */ new section

== Villainous Team ==

Look, don't fight me on this; I think GameFreak's intent is clear. The villainous group of Pokemon Sun and Moon is Aether Foundation. Denying they're a villainous team is simply wrong. Their boss is the main antagonist, it's her organization, so under her it is a villainous group with a benevolent facade. It took more than Lusamine alone to establish the stasis pods in her house, conduct the Type: Full experiments, search for the Ultra Wormholes, and so on. They follow her orders, so they are the villainous team (regardless of their personal thoughts on the matter). Denying that status based on the lack of 'team' in the title is also just petty semantics, and also a double standard as Cipher is counted and it lacks the word 'team' as well.

The '''Aether Foundation''' (Japanese: '''エーテル{{tt|財団|ざいだん}}''' ''Aether Foundation'') is an organization based in the [[Alola]] region whose goal is supposedly Pokemon conservation. They work to keep Pokemon safe from threats like [[Team Skull]] and operate out of their artificial island the [[Aether Paradise]]. Through the course of the story they're revealed to be the true villainous team of the Alola region under their increasingly insane leader, but are reformed after her defeat into a truly benevolent organization.

==In the games==
===Leadership===
The Aether Foundation's president is [[Lusamine]], who wants to share her love with all of the rescued Pokémon. She is assisted by [[Faba]], the Aether Foundation's second-in-command and Aether Foundation branch chief, and [[Wicke]], the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise.

The foundation also employs other people, who go out into the field to protect and rescue Pokémon in trouble.

===Research===
The foundation is conducting research on [[Ultra Beast]]s. They are also aware of the existence of the rare and unusual {{p|Cosmog}} and are conducting research on it. One of the professors in Aether Foundation was the one who named the Nebula Pokémon Cosmog. At some point, they also worked on genetical experiments, using several DNA samples from Pokémon of different Types, in order to create {{p|Type: Null}} (named Type: Full at the time) whose purpose was to battle the Ultra Beasts. Upon several tries, they were unable to perfect the {{a|RKS System}} and the Type: Full samples became more and more uncontrollable, so the project was ultimately scrapped, the samples put on cryogenic suspension and renamed "Type: Null".

===Facilities===
[[Aether Paradise]] is a privately owned artificial island that was built in the middle of the Alola region by the Aether Foundation. The foundation uses it both as a sanctuary and a research facility. In addition, the Aether Foundation hosts outposts at {{rt|8|Alola}}, {{rt|16|Alola}}, and in [[Heahea City]].

==In the anime==
While the Aether Foundation, as an entity, has not been introduced in the anime, its president, [[Lusamine]], was introduced as {{an|Lillie}}'s mother in a picture in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Aether Foundation are the second villainous organization to not utilize the 'Team _____' naming method (the first being Cipher).
*Aether are also the first villainous organization to not be advertised as such.
*They are the second villainous organization to become reformed after the defeat of their leader, the first being half of Team Plasma.

MegaNerd18: There really isn't any denying their status okay? Lusamine is the villain, she's in charge of them, so they are under villainous orders.

Lusamine

2017-03-14T12:32:00Z

MegaNerd18: Lusamine had never met a Nihilego before the one appeared in Aether Paradise, hence her shock and slight confusion. So no, toxins played no part in her madness.

'''Lusamine''' (Japanese: '''ルザミーネ''' ''Lusamine'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. She is the head of the [[Aether Foundation]]. She is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Aether President''' (Japanese: '''エーテルだいひょう''' ''Aether Representative'').

==In the games==
{{Spoilers}}

Lusamine appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. She is first seen in a picture of a magazine that the player character is reading during the intro sequence. She is formally introduced after the [[Akala]] Grand Trial, when [[Hau]] and the player travel to [[Aether Paradise]].

As president of the [[Aether Foundation]], Lusamine claims to love all Pokémon, be they native to the [[Alola]] region or not. While the player and Hau are conversing with her in the conservation area, an Ultra Wormhole appears, in which {{p|Nihilego}} emerges. After the player fights it, she claims she will find it and love it like the other Pokémon in her care. Once Hau mentions [[Lillie]], she gives a surprised expression and tries to not acknowledge her, foreshadowing the later events that would unfold.

Towards the end of the game, [[Plumeria]] remarks to Lillie that [[Team Skull]] are not the only thieves in Alola, and that Lillie ought to return {{p|Cosmog}}. When Hau, [[Gladion]], and the player arrive at Aether Paradise, all the employees are suddenly hostile to them, including [[Faba]], who had locked down Lusamine's office under her orders. There are also a number of Team Skull grunts present, implying an alliance.

When the player leaves Hau and Gladion to deal with [[Guzma]], they find Lillie in the same room as Lusamine, with the former begging Lusamine to come to her senses. Lusamine is not fazed by it, and berates Lillie for leaving her and claims she was never her daughter, before teleporting into another room via a pad hidden behind her mirror. Lillie and the player step on the pad too, and teleport into the room her mother went to. When they arrive, Lusamine taunts them to come closer. Afterwards, Lillie and the player are horrified to see that she has a collection of frozen Pokémon scattered about the room, "protected" for all eternity.

Hau arrives, together with Gladion. Lusamine is disgusted by his arrival, as he had stolen {{p|Type: Null}} and ran away from her. He does not try to reason with her, deciding it is impossible at this point. Lusamine, frustrated, exclaims that she gave all her love to her children, only for them to run away. Cosmog is then revealed to be inside a cube, in which Lillie pleads her not to use its power, as it would die. Lusamine, however, acts as though she does not consider her statements, and uses the cube anyway, opening up a large wormhole in the room, and multiple others on the various islands of [[Alola]]. Guzma arrives, asking Lusamine whether the experiment was a success, and Nihilego materializes behind her as well. After being defeated by the player, Lusamine and Guzma jump into the wormhole and disappear with said portal alongside Nihilego.

She is later encountered in [[Ultra Space]], where Guzma has given up working with her because of his newfound fear since Nihilego possessed him, and claims she is immune to reason at this point. Lillie disagrees, and runs off to confront her mother. When they arrive at an open terrace, she is nowhere to be found, only to phase into visibility and appear sitting on a rock in front of them. Lillie continues what she was saying to her mother back at Aether Paradise, along with trying to persuade her to come back to Alola.

Guzma turned out to be correct, as Lusamine says she would rather not come back to Alola, and that Lillie "could not even be that stupid". She boasts about how Ultra Space is beautiful, that Nihilego is all she cares about now, and that Lillie became ugly after leaving her and making friends with the player. Lusamine then turns her attention to the player, in which she immediately battles them, but not before merging with a Nihilego to become a pseudo-beast herself.

After losing, Lusamine becomes enraged and attempts to strike Lillie with one of many large tentacles she has control of. Lillie calls out to {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, who proceeds to roar and emit energy at Lusamine, separating her from Nihilego. Before passing out, she asks Lillie when she started becoming beautiful. At the end of the game, Lillie tells the player she believes Lusamine is getting a bit better, having even tried to go to the player's celebration, and that she has been gently trying to help her mother understand the error of her ways. Lillie then leaves for the [[Kanto]] region to seek treatment for her mother from [[Bill]] (who, like Lusamine, has been combined with a Pokémon before) in the hopes that it will heal her of the last of Nihilego's poisons.

When spoken to after the victory celebration, Gladion speculates that Lusamine's fixation with the Ultra Beasts may have started when her husband (and Lillie and Gladion's father) Professor [[Mohn]] vanished during his study of the Ultra Wormholes and, in an ill-fated attempt to find him, she eventually grew obsessed with the Ultra Beasts to the point of monomania. Lillie's reminiscences on Exeggutor Island show that she recalls that her mother was once a kind and compassionate woman who genuinely cared for her children.

===Pokémon===
Lusamine's Pokémon are kept in {{ball|Ultra}}s.

'''[[Aether Paradise]] (first visit)'''
: ''"My sweet Pokémon... I promise I'll keep you safe... I'll protect you with my love..."''
: ''"Ah... You must be <{{player}}> and [[Hau]]. Welcome to [[Aether Paradise]]. The [[Aether Foundation]]'s own private island. I am the president of the foundation. But please, just call me Lusamine. I’m so glad that we got to meet. I'm glad there are people like you, who travel the islands to learn more about Pokémon... But there are also those unfortunate people who harm Pokémon for their own selfish reasons or even for profit. And that is why I am here. I will be like a mother to all of those poor Pokémon and shower them with love. Even Pokémon from distant worlds, far from the [[Alola]] [[region]], are worthy of my love."''
: ''"Oh, you sweet boy! I'm already over 40!"''
: ''"Oh, you! The right style does wonders, you know. And, Hau, your style is a bit wanting, hm? I’ll have to take you out sometime and help you pick a smashing outfit."''
: ''"Oh, don't you worry. You just leave everything up to me. Trust me — children would all be much happier if they'd only listen to the adults around them."''
* When {{p|Nihilego}} appears
: ''"Did you come... from another world?"''
: ''"You poor creature..."''
* After Nihilego disappears
: ''"So, it’s true... I still need that Pokémon. I need to get it back."''
: ''"That creature we just saw was undoubtedly an [[Ultra Beast]]... An unknown being from another dimension that suddenly appears from the [[Ultra Wormhole]]... It looked like it was suffering... Like it pained it to be in this strange place... I can’t bear to see that happen! I will save it. And I will love it!"''
: ''"Thank you...both of you... Thank you so much!"''
: ''"[[Wicke]]. These two are still in the middle of their island challenge, aren't they? Please deliver them to their [[Ula'ula Island|next island]]."''
: ''"I will go to check that none of our poor resident Pokémon came to any harm. And I need to speak with Mr. [[Faba]] about exactly what happened downstairs. And of course... I will have to start preparing the foundation for our newest and perhaps greatest duty yet: the protection of the Ultra Beasts!"''

'''[[Aether Paradise]] (after clearing [[Ula'ula Island]])'''
* Lusamine's room
:''"Ah, <player>. It's been a while since we last saw you..."''
:''"Hmm. So you know one another? A gifted young Trainer like <player>... And he/she bothers with someone like [[Lillie|you]]? How disappointing."''
:''"My... You do say such incomprehensible things. Calling me mother? I don't have any children! Certainly not any wretched children who would run off and reject my love! So tell me how you'll save that Pokémon. What can you do, Lillie? You failed to convince me to listen to you. You don't even have the strength of a [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]]. The only thing that you've ever done on your own is steal someone else's research material! You're not beautiful enough for my world... but fine. Since you're here anyway, you can watch me summon my sweet beast. And then... you can leave."''
:''"You're right... {{p|Cosmog|it}} probably will die. Because I'm going to force it to use its power whether it wants to or not!"''
:''"Maybe if you really had been a daughter to me, I would have listened to you... Too bad."''
* Lusamine's collection room
: ''"Hurry. This way."''
: ''"What do you think? It's my private collection. My precious babies... They will all be preserved for eternity here."''

I was able to open the Ultra Wormhole using just the gases we'd extracted from Cosmog when it was in Aether Paradise, wasn't I? But now I have Cosmog itself inside this crate here... If I use its entire body, how many Ultra Wormholes will I be able to open? How many sweet beasts will come to me then?"''

==Trivia==
* Lusamine is the first female main antagonist in the [[core series]].
* The merged form of Lusamine and Nihilego may be based on ''{{wp|Turritopsis dohrnii}}'', a species of jellyfish that is biologically immortal and can revert to a young, immature state if it is too old or stressed.
* During the second battle against Lusamine, all of her Pokémon except {{p|Bewear}} have an angry facial expression instead of their usual expressions.

The '''Aether Foundation''' (Japanese: '''エーテル{{tt|財団|ざいだん}}''' ''Aether Foundation'') is an organization based in the [[Alola]] region whose goal is to cure hurt Pokémon. The organization shelters Pokémon to keep them safe from threats like [[Team Skull]]. Their headquarters is [[Aether Paradise]], an artificial island they constructed. Although a benevolent organization at first, during the course of the games they reveal themselves as the true [[villainous team]] of the Alola region.

==Leadership==
The Aether Foundation's president is [[Lusamine]], who wants to share her love with all of the rescued Pokémon. She is assisted by [[Faba]], the Aether Foundation's second-in-command and Aether Foundation branch chief, and [[Wicke]], the assistant branch chief of Aether Paradise.

The foundation also employs other people, who go out into the field to protect and rescue Pokémon in trouble.

==Research==
The foundation is conducting research on [[Ultra Beast]]s, and has given each of them a code name, such as UB-01 and UB-02 Absorption or Beauty. They are also aware of the existence of the rare and unusual {{p|Cosmog}} and are conducting research on it. One of the professors in Aether Foundation was the one who named the Nebula Pokémon Cosmog. At some point they also worked on genetical experiments, using several DNA samples from Pokémon of different Types, in order to create {{p|Type: Null}} (named Type: Full at the time) whose purpose was to battle the Ultra Beasts. Upon several tries they were unable to perfect the {{a|RKS System}} and the Type: Full samples became more and more uncontrollable, so the project was ultimately scrapped, the samples put on cryogenic suspension and renamed "Type: Null".

==Base==
[[Aether Paradise]] is a privately owned artificial island that was built in the middle of the Alola region by the Aether Foundation. The foundation uses it both as a sanctuary and a research facility.

==Trivia==
* Aether Foundation is the first villainous team in the core series to lack the word 'Team' in its name.

== A couple of notes ==

First, it's pretty important to get to know how to use {{BP|List of link templates|link templates}}. For example, instead of having to use <nowiki>[[Iris (anime)|Iris]], you can just use {{an|Iris}} </nowiki> which still links to {{an|Iris}}. 
Second, make sure to write Poké Ball, and not PokéBall. Poké Ball should always have a space between it. Thanks for your contributions! --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 01:09, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Reversions ==

When a staff member removes something you added, please do not [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Larvitar_(Pokémon)&curid=88047&diff=1954501&oldid=1954064 simply revert them]. Bring it to a talk page instead, please. The staff members know Bulbapedia policy inside and out, so they probably have an extremely good reason for anything they remove.

== Speculation ==

Please do not use random youtube videos as a source. Most of the stuff you find on the internet is likely to be fake. If you'd like to discuss these fakes, or speculate openly with other fans, please take it to the forums. Anything legitimate will be seen in official magazines such as CoroCoro, or on Pokémon Smash, or at events. However it's revealed, it will be from The Official Pokémon Company.

Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage.

It should have its own page. Its showed in 5 episodes. I really not sure why can't we just do it. --[[User:SilverioFlame|SilverioBOMB ]] ([[User talk:SilverioFlame|talk]]) 20:18, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

If someone undoes your edit, do not add it back. That's edit warring, a blockable offense. Instead, bring it to the talk page, so it can be settled. Thanks! [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 22:32, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
:Edit warring is easily avoided via usage of edit summaries. That's why you have the option of adding them. If I don't get a reason, I'm going to add it back.

'''Lusamine''' (Japanese: '''ルザミーネ''' ''Lusamine'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. She is the head of the [[Aether Foundation]]. She is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Aether President''' (Japanese: '''エーテルだいひょう''' ''Aether Representative'').

==In the games==
{{Spoilers}}

Lusamine appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. She is introduced after the [[Akala]] Grand Trial, when [[Hau]] and the player travel to [[Aether Paradise]].

As president of the [[Aether Foundation]], Lusamine claims to love all Pokémon, be they native to the [[Alola]] region or not. While the player and Hau are conversing with her in the conservation area, an Ultra Wormhole appears, in which {{p|Nihilego}} emerges. After the player fights it, she claims she will find it and love it like the other Pokémon in her care. Once Hau mentions [[Lillie]], she gives a surprised expression and tries to not acknowledge her, foreshadowing the later events that would unfold.

Towards the end of the game, [[Plumeria]] remarks to Lillie that [[Team Skull]] are not the only thieves in Alola, and that Lillie ought to return {{p|Cosmog}}. When Hau, [[Gladion]], and the player arrive at Aether Paradise, all the employees are suddenly hostile to them, including [[Faba]], who had locked down Lusamine's office under her orders. There are also a number of Team Skull grunts present, implying a joint effort between the two groups and revealing a second villainous team.

When Hau and the player leave Gladion to deal with [[Guzma]], they find Lillie in the same room as Lusamine, with the former begging Lusamine to come to her senses. Lusamine is not fazed by it, and berates Lillie for leaving her and claims she was never her daughter, before teleporting into another room via a pad hidden behind her mirror. Lillie joins Hau and the player, and teleports into the room her mother went to. When they arrive, Lusamine taunts them to come closer. Afterwards, the trio is horrified to see that she has a collection of frozen Pokémon scattered about the room, "protected" for all eternity.

Gladion arrives to Lusamine's disgust, as he had stolen {{p|Type: Null}} and ran away from her. He does not try to reason with her, deciding it is impossible at this point. Lusamine, frustrated, exclaims that she gave all her love to her children, only for them to run away. Cosmog is then revealed to be inside a cube, in which Lillie pleads her not to use its power, as it would die. Lusamine shows no care towards her statements, and uses the cube anyway, opening up a large wormhole in the room, and multiple others on the various islands of [[Alola]]. Guzma arrives, asking Lusamine whether the experiment was a success, and Nihilego materializes behind her as well. After being defeated by the player, Lusamine and Guzma jump into the wormhole and disappear with said portal.

She is later encountered in [[Ultra Space]], where Guzma has given up working with her because of his newfound fear since Nihilego possessed him, and claims she is immune to reason at this point. Lillie disagrees, and runs off to confront her mother. When they arrive at an open terrace, she is nowhere to be found, only to phase into visibility and appear sitting on a rock in front of them. Lillie continues what she was saying to her mother back at Aether Paradise, along with trying to persuade her to come back to Alola.

Guzma turned out to be correct, as Lusamine says she would rather not come back to Alola, and that Lillie "could not even be that stupid". She boasts about how Ultra Space is beautiful, that Nihilego is all she cares about now, and that Lillie became ugly after leaving her and making friends with the player. Lusamine then turns her attention to the player, in which she immediately battles them, but not before merging with a Nihilego to become a pseudo-beast herself.

After losing, Lusamine becomes enraged and attempts to strike Lillie with one of many large tentacles she has control of. Lillie calls out to {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}, who proceeds to use their signature move on Lusamine, separating her from Nihilego and freeing her from its influence. Before passing out, she asks Lillie when she started becoming beautiful. At the end of the game, Lillie tells the player that Lusamine has largely recovered from the Ultra Beast's neurotoxins and is remorseful of her actions, and that she even tried to come to the player's victory celebration. Lillie then leaves for the [[Kanto]] region to seek treatment for her mother from [[Bill]] (who, like Lusamine, has been combined with a Pokémon before) in the hopes that it will heal her of the last of Nihilego's poisons.

When spoken to after the victory celebration, Gladion speculates that Lusamine's fixation with the Ultra Beasts may have started when her husband (and Lillie and Gladion's father) Professor Mohn vanished during his study of the Ultra Wormholes. In an ill-fated attempt to find him, she eventually grew obsessed with the Ultra Beasts. Lillie's reminiscences on Exeggutor Island show that she recalls that her mother was once a kind and compassionate woman who genuinely cared for her children.

===Quotes===
'''[[Aether Paradise]] (first visit)'''
: ''"My sweet Pokémon... I promise I'll keep you safe... I'll protect you with my love..."''
: ''"Ah... You must be <{{player}}> and [[Hau]]. Welcome to [[Aether Paradise]]. The [[Aether Foundation]]'s own private island. I am the president of the foundation. But please, just call me Lusamine. I’m so glad that we got to meet. I'm glad there are people like you, who travel the islands to learn more about Pokémon... But there are also those unfortunate people who harm Pokémon for their own selfish reasons or even for profit. And that is why I am here. I will be like a mother to all of those poor Pokémon and shower them with love. Even Pokémon from distant worlds, far from the [[Alola]] [[region]], are worthy of my love."''
: ''"Oh, you sweet boy! I'm already over 40!"''
: ''"Oh, you! The right style does wonders, you know. And, Hau, your style is a bit wanting, hm? I’ll have to take you out sometime and help you pick a smashing outfit."''
: ''"Oh, don't you worry. You just leave everything up to me. Trust me — children would all be much happier if they'd only listen to the adults around them."''
* When {{p|Nihilego}} appears
: ''"Did you come... from another world?"''
: ''"You poor creature..."''
* After Nihilego disappears
: ''"So, it’s true... I still need that Pokémon. I need to get it back."''
: ''"That creature we just saw was undoubtedly an [[Ultra Beast]]... An unknown being from another dimension that suddenly appears from the [[Ultra Wormhole]]... It looked like it was suffering... Like it pained it to be in this strange place... I can’t bear to see that happen! I will save it. And I will love it!"''
: ''"Thank you...both of you... Thank you so much!"''
: ''"[[Wicke]]. These two are still in the middle of their island challenge, aren't they? Please deliver them to their [[Ula'ula Island|next island]]."''
: ''"I will go to check that none of our poor resident Pokémon came to any harm. And I need to speak with Mr. [[Faba]] about exactly what happened downstairs. And of course... I will have to start preparing the foundation for our newest and perhaps greatest duty yet: the protection of the Ultra Beasts!"''

'''[[Aether Paradise]] (after clearing [[Ula'ula Island]])'''
* Before battle
:''"What a disappointment... To think that you are all so small-minded... You're going to startle my sweet beast! <Player>... it looks like I'll need to silence you first."''
* Upon being defeated
:''"How...how can you be so awful!"''
* After being defeated
:''"Hmph... All that I want is my precious beast! I don't care about any of the rest of you!"''
:''"No! The Ultra Wormhole is disappearing... [[Guzma]]. With me. We will catch the beast using the Beast Ball that we've developed here."''

'''Hilbert''' (Japanese: '''トウヤ''' ''Tōya'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. His female counterpart is {{ga|Hilda}}.

==In the games==
==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
====As the playable character====
Hilbert is a boy who lives in [[Nuvema Town]], as do his childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. If chosen as the player, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. After setting off on his [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilbert will at some point be asked by [[Fennel]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilbert will receive a [[C-Gear]].

As well as encountering and battling his childhood friends at various points during his journey, Hilbert will also meet a young man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilbert will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilbert also battles [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of his journey. Ultimately, Hilbert is recognized as a hero by {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, depending on the version.

====As a non-playable character====
If not chosen as the player, Hilbert appears as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Hilbert's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

==={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}===
In Black 2 and White 2, the protagonist of Black and White was said to be searching for N in a faraway region and has not yet returned home. His mom mistakes the player for him.

'''Hilda''' (Japanese: '''トウコ''' ''Tōko'', romanized as ''Touko'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Hilbert}}.

==In the games==
==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
====As the protagonist====
Hilda is a girl who lives in [[Nuvema Town]], along with her childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]]. If chosen as the player, she will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. After setting off on her [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bianca, Hilda will at some point be asked by [[Fennel]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Hilda will receive a [[C-Gear]].

As well as encountering and battling her childhood friends at various points during her journey, Hilda will also meet a young man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Hilda will battle several times during the course of the game. Hilda will also battle [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of her journey. At the game's climax, Hilda is recognized as a hero by {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, depending on the version.

====As a non-playable character====
If not chosen as the player, Hilda appears as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants her to base her team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Hilda's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

==={{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}===
In Black 2 and White 2, the protagonist of Black and White was said to be searching for N in a faraway region and has not yet returned home. Her mom mistakes the player for her.

Hilbert (game)

2016-09-19T00:58:27Z

MegaNerd18: "initially" implies that it's no longer the case, so it would be incorrect to definitively identify him or Hilda as 16, and I don't doubt the Famitsu one exists, but since it's not sourced, let's just stick to a more vague number

== Delphox ==

A good rule of thumb for trivia is that it should be simple. In the case of what you added for Delphox, if you had been able to say "Delphox is the only final form of a Fire-starter to ''not'' be a Fire/Fighting dual type", period, then that would've been great trivia. But it's not. And a run of 3 isn't really ''that'' huge (if it were 5 or 6, then we could talk). And it's certainly not like they declared that they'd only do Fire/Fighting from now on, so it shouldn't really be a surprise there either.

Delphox's other trivia that you wanted to compare your trivia to ''are'' more notable, because they're all pretty simple. So there is a difference. Please don't try to re-add your trivia again. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:30, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gyarados''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Gyaradosite}}.

==Biology==
Gyarados is a serpentine Chinese dragon-like Pokémon. It is mostly blue, with a yellow underbelly and yellow spots along its body. It has a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head and four white, dorsal fins. Its mouth is very large and gaping, bearing four canine teeth. It has one barbel on each side of its face. The barbels are white on a female and the same color as the main body on a male. Gyarados's tailfin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points.

Mega Gyarados is bulkier than its previous form. The fins on its face, its barbels, and its crest are now considerably longer. A large spike extends downward underneath its chin, and it now has a black underside. The yellow spots along its body are replaced by raised red scales that run down its side with a single red stripe below them. Two large white fins appear on its back, similar to those on its face. Most of the other fins along its back disappear, except for the one near the tail. Instead, it now has four white, pointed fins near is tail: two on its back and two on its underside.

Its fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies, and is attracted to violence. In addition, Gyarados is also notoriously difficult to tame even after it is captured by the {{pkmn|Trainer}}, usually requiring an exceptional amount of work in taming it until it can obey its Trainer. Gyarados usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|large bodies of water}}, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans.

===Major appearances===
====[[James's Gyarados]]====
[[James]]'s Magikarp [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Gyarados in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. James was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water, which evolved into a Gyarados afterwards.

====[[Misty's Gyarados]]====
{{an|Misty}} obtained a Gyarados after passing the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] test in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Prior to the test, Misty was terrified of Gyarados, but in order to pass the test, she had to overcome her fear of it. In the end, she calmed and kept the Gyarados.

Gyarados debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own Trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{adv|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''. Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}} which he names [[Gyara]]. When Red borrows {{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Blue. It later appears as one of Blue's Pokémon in ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]'', used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue returns Gyarados to Red.

====Trophy Information====

''"An Atrocious Pokémon rarely seen in the wild. When it does appear, it's usually running rampant in a destructive rage--behavior that has the unfortunate side effect of leaving whole cities in ruin.

Its pre-evolution form is Magikarp."''

* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Gyarados tries to take over the Beach Zone in {{p|Empoleon}}'s absence. {{p|Pikachu}} then has to beat Gyarados's Aqua Dash so Gyarados stops trying to take over.

==Trivia==
[[File:Gyarados Mouth Closed.png|thumb|230px|right|Gyarados with its mouth closed and violet eyes]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gyarados' name was ''Skulkraken'', a combination of ''skull'' and ''{{wp|kraken}}'' (a mythological sea monster).
* Gyarados is tied with {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Regigigas}} for being the lowest level Pokémon encountered in the wild, as well as also tied with Magikarp for the highest level Pokémon encountered in the wild. In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, Gyarados can be found at levels ranging from level 1 to 100 in the [[Nature Preserve]] by using a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} in rippling water.
* In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Gyarados is the first of only two [[Shiny Pokémon]] to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}).
* Gyarados is tied with {{p|Milotic}} for the greatest increase in base stat total after evolving, at 340 points.
* As of [[Generation VI]], Gyarados and its pre-evolution's [[Egg Group]] combination ({{egg|Water 2}} and {{egg|Dragon}}) is unique.
* As of X and Y, Gyarados is used by three of the nine Pokémon League Champions, being used by {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and [[Wallace]], making it the most popular Pokémon among Pokémon League Champions thus far (although Blue does not always have a Gyarados, depending on the player's starter Pokémon). However, Blue is the only one to use it in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** Gyarados is also a popular Pokémon among [[Gym Leader]]s, being used by Blue, [[Clair]], and [[Crasher Wake]].
** Gyarados has also been used twice by two villainous Team Leaders. The first instance was [[Cyrus]] and the second instance was [[Lysandre]].
* Gyarados [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* In many ways, Gyarados is the counterpart of {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the serpentine evolved forms of weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats.
* Mega Gyarados has the highest base stat total of all non-legendary {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest Attack stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Despite being a flying Pokemon, Gyarados cannot learn any flying-type moves.
* Because of its [[Mega Evolution]], Gyarados is the only {{type|Dark}} [[Generation I]] Pokémon.
* Mega Gyarados is tied with {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Unbound]] as the tallest Dark-type Pokémon.
* Mega Gyarados is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 640.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}} and {{wp|chinese dragon}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This is referenced by [[Pokémon Snap]], as the player needs to get a Magikarp into a waterfall to evolve it into Gyarados. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).

Its {{type|Flying}} may be a reference of {{wp|koinobori}}, a carp-shaped {{wp|wind sock}} traditionally flown to celebrate the {{wp|Children's Day (Japan)|Children's Day}} in Japan, formerly called ''Tango no Sekku'' (端午の節句).

===Name origin===
Gyarados may derive from 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' (massacre/slaughter) or 逆境 ''gyakkyō'' (hardship/adversity)—both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. In addition, 逆 ''gyaku'' means "reverse" or "contrary", possibly referring to how Gyarados evolves from a pathetically weak Pokémon to one capable of destroying entire cities, and, in legend, how the carp goes against the flow of the waterfall in order to reach the top. It may also involve 嵐 ''arashi'' (storm) or 争い ''arasoi'' (conflict, referencing on how it appeared during wars). The last part may be from ドス ''dosu'' (onomatopoeia for the piercing of flesh, again owing to Gyarados' violent nature). Alternatively, ''dos'' (Spanish for ''two'') may indicate that it is the second in its evolutionary line.

'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mahoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Delphox is a relatively tall bipedal Pokémon resembling a fox. It is covered in a coat of fur that resembles a robe; this "robe" is primarily dark red, with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees, as well as a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. It has three tufts of red-orange fur protruding out of each ear. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe." When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand; when in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its "wand" to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prior to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Delphox was the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Mystical Fire}}.

Fairy (type)

{{types}}
The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''フェアリータイプ''' ''Fairy type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon include the [[Gym Leader]] [[Valerie]] of [[Laverre City]].

The Fairy type was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon and 3 [[move]]s were changed to be of the Fairy type.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
As it was created to balance the competitive play in [[Generation VI]], the Fairy-type is considered to be one of the best defensive types, along with the {{t|Steel}}-type. As such, it is considered to be an anti-metagame type, having traits that no other is capable of offering - a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Fighting}} type, as well as the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Bug}} types, granting resistances to frequently used moves like {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, and {{m|U-turn}}. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{type|Dragon}} moves. Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and Steel, both of which were rarely used offensively prior to its introduction.

Since the Pokémon of this type tend to have a high {{stat|Special Defense}}, they excel at the role of being a special wall, further strengthened by the fact that there are few powerful special attackers among Steel and Poison types, {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Gengar}} respectively being examples of such.

Despite all of this, Fairy type Pokémon tend to have a below average {{stat|Defense}} stat, though there are some exceptions, such as {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Carbink}}, and {{p|Togekiss}}.

===Offense===
Fairy is quite strong on offense, as well. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously only had two weaknesses. It is resisted by the {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel types. However, most Fire types struggle defensively and cannot hit Fairy types super effectively in return, making Poison- and Steel-types the only true threats against them, even if the former is weak to {{t|Psychic}}-type moves, common among Fairy Pokémon. Additionally, all three of those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making Fairy and Ground a viable attack combination to use. Fairy also pairs well with {{t|Ghost}} and Dark, with the former combination being resisted only by {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}} and the latter being resisted only by Mawile and {{p|Klefki}}.

Despite having numerous advantages, the Fairy type is hindered by a lack of particularly powerful Fairy-type moves, being somewhat weak statistically and having a disadvantageous match-up against the Poison- and Steel-types, two of the best defensive types in the series. Also, since Fairy types typically have high {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but relatively low Defense and {{stat|Speed}} stats, they have advantageous match-ups against most special attackers but poor ones against physical attackers overall.

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Fairy-type moves are typically {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and {{OBP|Cute|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cool|condition}} or {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 37 Fairy-type Pokémon, or 5.1% of all Pokémon (counting [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the third rarest Pokémon type, behind {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Ice}}.

==Trivia==
* More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since [[Generation I]] (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation II]]), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three. All three of them were [[Status move]]s introduced in [[Generation II]] and were previously {{type|Normal}}.
** It is also the only one out of the three types to completely change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Snubbull}}, to pure Fairy.
* Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}.
** In addition, those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}.
* The Fairy-type is one of the two types that {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot become, the other being the {{type|Normal}}.
** This, combined with the lack of any Fairy-type moves in {{p|Kecleon}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s movesets, prevents all Pokémon that naturally have {{a|Protean}} from becoming Fairy-type using it (although Kecleon can become Fairy-type with its other Ability, {{a|Color Change}}).
* The Fairy type has the fewest [[physical move|physical moves]] of all types, with only {{m|Play Rough|one}}.
*Fairy-type has the fewest damage-dealing moves of any type at seven, with only six of these available to players.
* {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} is the only Fairy-type move that is available via a [[TM]].
** No Fairy-type moves are available via [[Move Tutor]]s.

'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mahoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
Delphox is a relatively tall bipedal Pokémon resembling a fox. It is covered in a coat of fur that resembles a robe; this "robe" is primarily dark red, with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees, as well as a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. It has three tufts of red-orange fur protruding out of each ear. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe." When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand; when in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its "wand" to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prior to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Delphox was the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Mystical Fire}}.

List of American region Nintendo Network event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI

2015-11-27T18:44:41Z

MegaNerd18: /* Mac Hoopa */ Look on the Canadian Nintendo Zone website, you'll see this is true

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via the [[Nintendo Network]] to American region Pokémon games in [[Generation VI]]. As Nintendo Network events are run simultaneously worldwide, to ensure that the event runs for the entire specified period in most countries, the distribution begins at midnight on the start of date according to {{wp|Time in New Zealand|NZST}} and ends at midnight at the end of the day after the end date according to NZST. For Pokémon distributions that can be of either gender, the Pokémon's gender is fixed when the Wonder Card is obtained.

==List of event Pokémon==
===Mac Hoopa===
{{bulbanews/3|Hoopa events announced for Europe and North America|Hoopa to be distributed in the US and France|Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire Happy Meals to be available in US, Canada}}

It was distributed to promote the release of the [[2015 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Happy Meal]]. Unlike most American region distribution events, this one was ''not'' available to Canada due to that country's branch of McDonald's lacking Nintendo Zone affiliation.

Talk:Wes

2015-08-04T06:28:42Z

MegaNerd18: /* The "Evil Wes in XD" rumor */

== Age ==

''Wes is the oldest hero ever featured in a Pokémon game. While most other protagonists are intended to appear around 11, Wes was designed to be 17 years of age.'' 
What about Lunick and Solana? They seem to be around that age, too. Also I can't remember where did it say that Wes was designed to be 17 (not meaning I don't believe it). --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 02:58, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

== Rival... -type guy ==

What about the guy who is a (physical) perfect copy of <Cplayer> (without the Snag Machine) and is the Shadow-Togetic-holding final opponent to <Cplayer>? --[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]]. 02:29, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

== About being the oldest player character. ==

Does it seem that [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] is older? So he could not be the oldest.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 00:45, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
:Irrelevant. No one cares about Trozei.
:All joking aside, though, I agree, Lucy seems to be the oldest player character. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 00:53, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
::lol that's true
::Back to the topic, she has to be between 19 to 22.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 00:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

== Espeon and Umbreon ==

Are this guy's starter Pokémon with or without a set gender, and, if set, what would that gender be?{{unsigned|Giratina's Embodiment}}
:100% male for both...--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 02:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

::Given the release timeframe for {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, they fixed the genders of the {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} to be male-only to prevent players from breeding for an {{p|Eevee}} prior to the release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Keep in mind that the pre-FR/LG environment lacked {{p|Ditto}}.

::In fact, out of all snaggable shadow Pokémon that don't require a Japanese e-Card, the only one with ties to a [[Generation I]] evolution line is {{p|Hitmontop}}, which is a male-only species, hence breeding for {{p|Tyrogue}} and evolving to {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} was impossible. (Trust me, if {{p|Miltank}} were able to make {{p|Tauros}} eggs akin to the [[Nidoran]]s and {{p|Volbeat}}/{{p|Illumise}}, I guarantee you it would not have been snaggable in Colosseum, since Colosseum went out of its way to disallow obtaining Generation I Pokémon.)

::Now, when we throw Japanese e-Cards into the equation, there is one other Pokémon normally available in both genders that was fixed to be male-only to prevent breeding for a Kanto evolution line. That Pokémon is {{p|Scizor}}. With Colosseum fixing its gender, it's impossible to try for a female and breed for {{p|Scyther}}.

::Thankfully there's no gender-fixing in {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, meaning [[Michael]] can have a female Eevee if the RNG goes right. That game was the last main-series [[Generation III]] game to come out, meaning that game didn't have to go out of the way to prevent obtaining certain evolutionary lines. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

==Character render==

The current artwork of Wes is not the official render. The previous file was, although it was in very low quality. I have made this -> [http://i.imgur.com/k0ypS.png using] Wes on the backcover of Colosseum. Unfortunately, it's still in print quality, but I believe it's more proper. Truth is that an even better version exists in the front cover of Colosseum's Bonus Disk, but I can't seem to find the original file this -> [http://i.imgur.com/cOSEC.jpg] is taken from. Either way, if someone has it, better be changed. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 11:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/GCN_Pokemon_Colosseum.pdf Nintendo has the Colosseum manual uploaded. There is a better version for Wes, and I believe Rui too. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 12:10, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

== The "Evil Wes in XD" rumor ==
I think this merits further investigation. I've been hearing for so long that I want to know where it came from, and if it's false or not. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] ([[User talk:The Great Butler|talk]]) 04:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
:Been wondering about that myself. [[User:MegaNerd18|MegaNerd18]] ([[User talk:MegaNerd18|talk]]) 06:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

'''Moonlight''' (Japanese: '''つきのひかり''' ''Moonlight'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} move.

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Moonlight restores the user's current {{Stat|HP}} based on the [[weather conditions]] and [[time]] of day. In morning and day, clear conditions restore ¼, sunny conditions restore ½ and other conditions restore 1/8 HP. At night, the move restores twice as much of HP. In link battle, move restores HP as if it was night.

===Generations III to V===
Moonlight restores the user's current HP based on the [[weather conditions]] in the battle. Normal conditions restore ½ total HP, sunny conditions restore ⅔ total HP, and other weather conditions restore ¼ total HP.

===Generation VI===
Moonlight is now a {{type|Fairy}} move.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fairy}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|Stad2}}|Allows HP to be restored by the moonlight. In battle, half the user's max HP is restored.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|GSC}}|Restores HP (varies by time).}}

==Trivia==
* Unlike {{m|Morning Sun}}, {{p|Espeon}}'s [[signature move]] in Generation II, Moonlight was not learnable only by Umbreon. However, because of Espeon's association with that move, Moonlight can still be considered Umbreon's equivalent move as they occupy similar positions in each Pokémon's moveset.
* Despite the name's association with the night, Moonlight actually restores more HP in sunny conditions (which can be considered an opposite with nighttime). This could be a reference to the fact that moonlight is in fact just sunlight that's been reflected by the Moon.
*Moonlight is one of the four moves from [[Generation II]] to have its type changed in a later Generation; along with {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Sweet Kiss}}.

MegaNerd18: /* Exact Time Intervals */

==Capturing Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit==
Does anybody know if the Lake Guardians appear on specific weekdays, like the Swords of Justice? [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 14:18, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
:Due to the fact that the legendary beasts appear depending on an hourly cycle, and the other extreme is the Swords of Justice cycling through the week, I'm led to believe that the Lake Guardians do a cycle of changing during each day. See below. [[User:CraftyWeavile|CraftyWeavile]] ([[User talk:CraftyWeavile|talk]]) 01:35, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

==Exact Time Intervals==
From my experience, I encountered Mesprit in mid-afternoon (the time interval for it must be after 12:00pm or something), then Azelf pre-midday, and Uxie during the evening (while the sky is yellow when soaring).

'''Kyurem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has [[Form differences#Kyurem|two other formes]], which are activated by using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} on it and either {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, resulting in a process called Absofusion that removes Reshiram or Zekrom from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become '''White Kyurem''' (with Reshiram) or '''Black Kyurem''' (with Zekrom). However, it is impossible to own a White Kyurem and a Black Kyurem at the same time, as the game rejects the second fusion of Kyurem with Reshiram/Zekrom.

Along with Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

As both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, it is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], respectively.

==Biology==
Kyurem is a gray and blue, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Three pointed teeth jut out the bottom of either side of its jaws, which are frozen shut by the ice covering its head. Its long, gray neck has lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail. It has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its oddly shaped blue wings, which are believed to be used for flying and storing cold air. Each wing has two spikes of ice. The ice covering the wings can break, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender, and has three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue conical spikes on its tip, and appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.

Kyurem has two alternate forms, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, which are formed by combining with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively, and share many aspects of their designs with them. It can use Absofusion on their respective [[Dragon Stones]] to change to White or Black Kyurem. When transformed into either, its legs are just like before, but shorter and the middle toe is now ice. As White Kyurem, it has some extra icy details on the legs. Its tail resembles that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but they are attached to the body with three gray parts of skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes: they are horizontal on White Kyurem and vertical on Black Kyurem. The torsos of each form are similar, but White Kyurem's torso is more slim than Black Kyurem's bulky torso. Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug in' the aforementioned holes. As White Kyurem, it has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. As Black Kyurem, it has Zekrom's arms, but more muscular and without wings, and its left arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape, but is now upright; White Kyurem uses Reshiram's fur and Black Kyurem uses Zekrom's skin. In both forms, the ice covering one of Kyurem's jaws (upper for White Kyurem, lower for Black Kyurem) has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth.

Kyurem generates a powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body became frozen when the energy leaked out. Due to an old legend, it may be assumed Kyurem may be hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly ate them if they were found outside at night. Kyurem is said to be an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]], however there is doubt towards the validity of this. It is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Glaciate}}, while its alternate forms White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can respectively learn {{m|Ice Burn}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} instead. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can also learn Reshiram's and Zekrom's signature moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Fusion Bolt}}, respectively.

===Major appearances===
====[[Kyurem (M15)]]====
Kyurem, in all of its forms, made its debut as one of the stars of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion]] and {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}. Kyurem was challenged by Keldeo, who wasn't ready to fight Kyurem, but arrogantly claimed that he was a [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Sword of Justice]]. After the terrified Keldeo fled during the middle of the fight, Kyurem relentlessly pursues Keldeo in order to finish the battle they had started. Along with the other legendary Pokémon present in the movie, Kyurem can [[Talking Pokémon|speak through telepathy]].

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''While this Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon is definitely a Pokémon, some believe it is what remained after Reshiram and Zekrom were split apart. In battle, it will generate incredibly cold energy and then unleash it using Icy Wind. This move will deal constant damage before freezing opponents. ''

'''PAL''': ''Kyurem is thought to be an empty shell left behind when Reshiram and Zekrom split into two. Its icy energy is so powerful that it can freeze its own body. When Kyurem has built up enough energy, it can unleash Icy Wind, shooting spirals of cold left and right. After damaging fighters, this attack with leave them frozen. ''

* Kyurem is the only Pokémon to be the version mascot of both versions of a paired version.
* Despite being larger when fused, both fused forms are lighter than the Pokémon it's fused with.
* Kyurem has the most separate cries used in-game, with five. It has one for each forme and two longer cries that play in stereo.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon that can fuse with another Pokémon.

===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem, however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a {{wp|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}, similar to Zekrom. Its arms in particular seem to be influenced by ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus rex}}''. Kyurem's type, {{t|Ice}}, may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}. Kyurem's rock-like body and its origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the {{wp|koan}} {{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}.

====Name origin====
Kyurem may be a combination of 冷 ''rei'' (cold), 急冷 ''kyuurei'' (rapid cooling), or 雪 ''yuki'' (snow) with the {{wp|kana}} reversed, and 無 ''{{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}'' (nothing). It may also derive from 零 ''rei'' (zero). ''Rem'' may also mimic the ''rom'' of {{p|Zekrom}} and the ''ram'' of {{p|Reshiram}}.

'''Pupitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サナギラス''' ''Sanagiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Larvitar}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Tyranitar}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
Pupitar is encased inside a thick shell made of grayish-blue rock. Its red eyes can be seen through two holes in the shell, and two more holes directly above resemble eyebrows. The upper portion of its body it covered by a mask-like plate with four large spikes on either side. Three additional spikes protrude from its forehead. Since its arms and legs are developing inside the shell, Pupitar is capable of venting gas to propel itself around, and can generate enough forces to knock down mountains. Pupitar lives and moves freely around harsh {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain}} ranges.

==Trivia==
* Pupitar is only Pokémon that undergoes metamorphosis-like evolution whose {{stat|Defense}} [[base stats|base stat]] is not higher than its {{stat|Attack}}. Instead, its Attack base stat is its highest stat.

===Origin===
Pupitar is based on a pupa, as it is between its evolutionary line's larval stage ({{p|Larvitar}}) and adulthood ({{p|Tyranitar}}).

====Name origin====
Pupitar is derived from ''{{wp|pupa}}'', the stage in some insects between the larval stage and adulthood.

Sanagiras may be a combination of 蛹 ''sanagi'' (pupa) and 嫌い ''kirai'' (hate). ''Giras'' may derive from ''Gojira'', the Japanese name for the character {{wp|Godzilla}}, or ''Angiras'', the Japanese name for the character {{wp|Anguirus}}. Both are dinosaur-like ''{{wp|tokusatsu}}'' movie monsters (kaiju) that share some characteristics with {{p|Tyranitar}}, its evolution.

'''Pupitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サナギラス''' ''Sanagiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Larvitar}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Tyranitar}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
Pupitar is encased inside a thick shell made of grayish-blue rock. Its red eyes can be seen through two holes in the shell, and two more holes directly above resemble eyebrows. The upper portion of its body it covered by a mask-like plate with four large spikes on either side. Three additional spikes protrude from its forehead. Since its arms and legs are developing inside the shell, Pupitar is capable of venting gas to propel itself around, and can generate enough forces to knock down mountains. Pupitar lives and moves freely around harsh {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain}} ranges.

==Trivia==
* Pupitar is only Pokémon that undergoes metamorphosis-like evolution whose {{stat|Defense}} [[base stats|base stat]] is not higher than its {{stat|Attack}}. Instead, its Attack base stat is its highest stat.

===Origin===
Pupitar is based on a pupa, as it is between its evolutionary line's larval stage ({{p|Larvitar}}) and adulthood ({{p|Tyranitar}}).

====Name origin====
Pupitar is derived from ''{{wp|pupa}}'', the stage in some insects between the larval stage and adulthood.

Sanagiras may be a combination of 蛹 ''sanagi'' (pupa) and 嫌い ''kirai'' (hate). ''Giras'' may derive from ''Gojira'', the Japanese name for the character {{wp|Godzilla}}, or ''Angiras'', the Japanese name for the character {{wp|Anguirus}}. Both are dinosaur-like ''{{wp|tokusatsu}}'' movie monsters (''[[wp|kaiju]]'') that share some characteristics with {{p|Tyranitar}}, its evolution.

'''Ghetsis Harmonia''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ゲーチス|Gēchisu}}・ハルモニア''' ''G-Cis Harmonia'') is one of the [[Seven Sages]], the true mastermind behind [[Team Plasma]] and the primary antagonist in {{game|Black and White|s}} and their {{game|Black and White|s|sequels|2}}.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Ghetsis first appears in [[Accumula Town]] trying to rally its citizens. After that, he appears at several points in the game trying to warn the citizens of the oncoming change and is often the one that comes to rescue other [[Seven Sages]] if they are nearing arrest. After the player and [[Alder]] come to the Relic Castle he is already there and tells them that if they are to battle N, they must retrieve the Light{{sup/5|Bl}}/Dark{{sup/5|W}} Stone. He also appears making a similar speech to his one in Accumula Town in [[Opelucid City]]. He later appears at the castle during [[N]]'s takeover and taunts the player before battling N. After the player defeats N, he reveals he has been using N and revived {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} for N to use, and calls N a disappointment. He reveals that his and Team Plasma's motive for stealing Pokémon was a lie all along and that Ghetsis wanted to ensure that he was the only person in Unova with Pokémon, so he could dominate the region (this was previously foreshadowed by him referring to himself during speeches referring to Team Plasma's goals before correcting himself and saying Team Plasma). According to a Grunt in the castle, he was even learning of ways to manipulate hearts of people. [[Alder]] and [[Cheren]] both hear the truth from Ghetsis. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away. He is not seen again in this game.

When the player meets the [[Shadow Triad]] for the final time, it is revealed that they rescued Ghetsis from captivity and that he is currently on the run. He has lost everything, including his Pokémon, and only the Shadow Triad are still loyal to him. For some reason, he has ordered the Shadow Triad to stop looking for him.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Ghetsis turns out to be once again behind Team Plasma's activities. This version of Unova's villainous team is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. He wants to freeze [[Unova]] so that [[Team Plasma]] can steal every Pokémon in the region. He has appointed [[Colress]] as the new official boss of Team Plasma and recruited [[Zinzolin]] to help him. After being defeated at the [[Giant Chasm]] he snaps and is escorted away by a member of the Shadow Triad. Later, in [[Icirrus City]], the Shadow Triad reveal that Ghetsis has lost heart and is no longer capable of any further criminal deeds.

===Quotes===
====Pokémon Black and White====
=====Accumula Town=====
:''"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pokémon liberation.''
:''"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokémon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth?''
:''"Pokémon are subject to the selfish commands of Trainers... They get pushed around when they are our "partners" at work... Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying?''
:''"Now, ladies and gentlemen, Pokémon are different from humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokémon?"''
:''"That's right! We must liberate the Pokémon! Then, and only then, will humans and Pokémon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon... and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention."''

=====Castelia City=====
:''"My word, if it isn't the Gym Leader, Burgh."''
:''"Indeed... No matter. We already have an exceptional base of operations. Is everyone familiar with the legend of the founding of the Unova region?"''
:''"The truth is this... The black/white dragon appeared before a hero who sought the ideal/true way to knit together a world full of warring people. This black/white Dragon-type Pokémon shared its knowledge--and bared its fangs at those who stood against it. Together, the power of this Pokémon and the hero brought unity to the hearts of everyone in the land, and that is how Unova was created.''
:''"We shall bring back the hero and that Pokémon to Unova once again! If we can win people's hearts and minds, we can easily create the world that I--I mean, Team Plasma--desires!"''
:''"Myah-ha-ha-ha! You are quite hard to figure out--a little more intelligent than I'd expected. I am fond of intelligent people, you see. You'll enjoy hearing about this... From every corner of the world, I have gathered knowledgeable people for our king's benefit. You could call them the Seven Sages. Very well! We will submit to your opinion and be on our way.''
:''"That girl over there... Return her Pokémon!"''
:''"The friendship between Pokémon and people can be very touching. But, in order to liberate Pokémon from foolish people, we will revive the legend of Unova--and win the hearts and minds of everyone. Farewell..."''

=====Driftveil City=====
:''"Clay. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Ghetsis, of Team Plasma. I've come to pick up my associates who are in your care."''
:''"What's this? It seems as if there has been some misunderstanding. We only free Pokémon from wicked people."''
:''"Team Plasma also has an interest in Driftveil City. And we have many, many more members besides those who are here..."''
:''"A decision worthy of a businessman called the Miner King. Your grasp of the situation is outstanding. Well then, we will be taking our colleagues off your hands..."''
:''"Don't worry, my fellow servant of the king... We are two of the Seven Sages, are we not? Well then, everyone, I expect that we will meet again somewhere."''

=====Relic Castle=====
:''"It looks like everyone is here. It seems you are working hard to resurrect Reshiram{{sup/5|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}, the other Dragon-type Pokémon, aren't you? But it appears the Light Stone{{sup/5|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}} you seek is not here.''
:''"Well then, congratulations are in order! <Player>, you were chosen by our king. If you truly desire to keep the world as it is, where Pokémon live alongside people, you must bring the other Dragon-type Pokémon spoken of in legend and battle with our king. Otherwise, Team Plasma will steal every Pokémon from every person in the world and release them all!"''
:''"What's this? {{pkmn|Champion}} Alder, even though illness took the Pokémon that had been your partner for many years, and you haven't had a serious battle in all that time... Even you, who ordered the Elite Four to protect the Pokémon League and left to wander the Unova region alone... Even a Champion like you now wants to protect a world where Pokémon and people live together? Team Plasma's king will show the people of Unova that he is stronger than a Champion who keeps Pokémon bound! And just like the hero who founded Unova, he will be accompanied by the legendary Pokémon. He will give this order! 'Trainers, release your Pokémon!' For this, we have prepared a suitable castle for the legendary Zekrom{{sup/5|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}} and our king!"''
:''"Our king has no interest in you. He has already determined that victory against you is assured."''
:''"Of course not. I'm doing this out of kindness. Yes, kindness. I'm making sure the Champion doesn't get hurt for no reason. Granted, the moment when someone loses all hope... I really do love to watch that moment. Well then, farewell."''

=====Tubeline Bridge=====
:''"Excellent. It seems that you have obtained the Light Stone{{sup/5|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}}. I congratulate you on a job well done.''
:''"It is my lord N's thought that the two holders of the legendary Pokémon should put their beliefs on the line and strive to find which is the true hero.''
:''"This is not necessary, however. From his infancy, I provided him with the education required to become the hero of legend. Indeed, he has been so acknowledged by the legendary Pokémon. ...Such purity of purpose is his.''
:''"The liberation of Pokémon of which I... Of which Team Plasma speaks is the separation of Pokémon from foolish people! That's the truth! All Trainers will become helpless to resist us! We alone will be able to use Pokémon!''
:''"The preparations are complete!''
:''"When my perfect plan is set in motion, first a few gullible Pokémon Trainers who are unable to resist Team Plasma will release their Pokémon. Then that number will become a hundred, then a thousand... In no time, even the Gym Leaders and the Champion will become unable to fight us. Having a Pokémon will be considered a bad thing! Even people like the sad little Bianca, whose Pokémon was stolen in Castelia, will be unable to face public opinion and will release their Pokémon! That's the kind of world we'll make!''
:''"You may have the Stone, but there's no chance whatsoever that the legendary Pokémon will accept you as the hero. So, if you're not willing to hand over your precious Pokémon, I suggest you search for some courage-- because you're going to need it!"''

=====Opelucid City=====
:''"That's correct! Our lord N has combined his power with the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon and intends to create a new world. We herald the return of the hero of Unova, founder of this region.''
:''"Pokémon are different from people. They are living beings who contain unknown potential.''
:''"They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn.''
:''"They are beings whose greatness we should acknowledge! Beings who should be freed from our oppression!''
:''"We, Team Plasma, invite you to join us! We all want to create a new world where people and Pokémon are both free! Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you now... Please, release your Pokémon. And so I end my plea to you today. Thank you one and all for your attention."''

=====N's Castle=====
* Outside the throne room
:''"Welcome, holder of the Light Stone{{sup/5|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}}."''
:''"The castle that appeared as if it were enveloping the Pokémon League is a symbol. It means Unova will change."''
:''"The king of this castle is the strongest Trainer in the world. He is accompanied by the legendary Pokémon. He has defeated the Champion. Added to all that, his heart burns with the desire to improve the world. If that's not what makes a hero, what more do you need?"''
:''"Now that the stage is set, we can seize people's minds and hearts. We can bring into being the world that I--no, that Team Plasma--desires more easily than you can imagine! We and only we will use Pokémon, and we shall rule the powerless populace!"''
:''"I've been waiting so long for this! I've kept my silence so no one could piece together what I planned. Now, those painful days are at an end!"''
:''"Go! Onward!"''
:''"Discover whether you have what it takes to be a hero!"''
:''"Go! Holder of the Light Stone{{sup/5|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}}! In this room, you can learn whether you, too, can be a hero!"''

* After N is defeated
:''"After all of that, do you think you're still worthy of sharing the name Harmonia with me? You good-for-nothing boy!"''
:''"To start with, I spurred N into pursuing ideals{{sup/5|Bl}}/the truth{{sup/5|W}}. The reason we reawakened the legendary Pokémon now was to give MY Team Plasma more power! Power to control the fearful masses! That at least was well done."''
:''"After saying you had to put your beliefs on the line and battle to see which one chosen by the legendary Pokémon was the true hero... You lost to an ordinary Trainer! There is such a thing as being too stupid! Add it up, and you are nothing more than a warped, defective boy who knows nothing but Pokémon..."''
:''"<Player>! I never would have thought the legendary Pokémon would choose a Trainer like you! It caught me completely off guard."''
:''"This doesn't change my goal. My plans have not been disturbed! In order to rule this world utterly, in order to manipulate the hearts of people who know nothing, I will have N be the king of Team Plasma. But, for that to work, you-- since you know the truth-- You must be eliminated!"''
:''"That was just a convenient lie that I needed to create Team Plasma. Use your head. What's to be gained from letting go of useful things like Pokémon? Certainly, manipulating Pokémon helps people expand their possibilities. That much, I can agree with. So it naturally follows that only I should be able to use Pokémon!"''
:''"You can say whatever you want. A Pokémon, even if it's revered as a deity, is still just a Pokémon. <Player>, so what if it chose you! That doesn't mean you're a threat. Come on! Now you'll face ME in battle! I can't wait to see the look on your face when you've lost all hope!"''
:'''''"I won't allow anyone to stop me! No matter who does what!"'''''

* Upon first non-KO HP loss
:''"I was expecting exactly that kind of move!"''

* When the last Pokémon is at critical health
:''"What is going on here?"''

* Being defeated
:''"My calculations... No! My careful schemes! The world should be mine!"''

* After being defeated
:''"What?! I created Team Plasma with my own hands. I'm absolutely perfect! I AM PERFECTION! I am the perfect ruler of a perfect new world!"''
:''"Mwa ha ha! Since I couldn't become the hero and obtain the legendary Pokémon myself... I prepared someone for that purpose--N! He's nothing more than a freak without a human heart. Do you think you're going to get through to a warped person like that?!"''

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
=====Giant Chasm=====
* Upon encounter in his office
:''"That blasted Colress!"'' (turns to the player and slams his cane) ''"The fool is far too committed to pure science. This is how he repays me for making him the boss of Team Plasma? How dare he put his personal intellectual curiosity before our ultimate mission of conquering Unova!"'' (steps right) ''"How fortunate for you! Few get to be the sole audience member for one of my speeches."'' (steps forward) ''"Team Plasma will use its knowledge and technology to take Kyurem's true power to its absolute limit and freeze the Unova region. The terrified people and Pokémon will bow at Team Plasma's...no...at MY feet!"'' (walks closer and slams his cane) ''"Kyurem is an empty being. The remnants of a certain Pokémon when it split into Reshiram and Zekrom... My desire is absolute rule of Unova!"'' (walks closer) ''"That's right! Kyurem will be the vessel into which my desires will be poured!"''
:(to a Shadow Triad member) ''"It's finally here! The wonderful era in which I am the absolute ruler of Unova has finally arrived! I'll let you take care of this!"''

* Upon encounter in the cave
:''"The Giant Chasm! This is the spot where Kyurem's power resonates. Here, Kyurem can use the full extent of its power and easily cover all of Unova in ice!"'' (slams his cane) ''"Kyurem, come!"''
:''"I have a memory that has continued to haunt me. Just one. That unpleasant look in your eyes reminds me of it. That aside, this is my gift to you to show my respect for making it this far. I'll freeze you solid right here so you can watch my glorious ascent!"'' (slams his cane) '''''"Kyurem! Glaciate!"'''''

* After Kyurem's attack is destroyed
:''"So you came... The freak without a human heart...N!"''
:''"Excellent! That was a moving expression of your determination! So the education I provided to make you king wasn't a complete waste, then! But I still haven't forgotten that even though I was kind enough to find you when you were living in the forest with Pokémon, and take you in, and care for you, in the end you were selfish and disrupted my plans. I was supposed to use your abilities to rule Unova!"''
:''"But I'll forgive you for that as well. Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, which you were kind enough to bring with you, can shatter{{sup/5|B2}}/melt{{sup/5|W2}} ice! Now you've saved me the work of searching for it! Well, actually, I knew you'd appear if we fired ice missiles into Opelucid City and you noticed the change!"''
:''"Oh, but it will! If I use these! The DNA Splicers!"''
* After Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} reverts into its stone
:''"Kyurem! Absorb Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}! Use Absofusion!"''
* After Kyurem and Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} are fused
:''"You fool... Last time, I was going to use you to capture people's hearts and minds to rule them! But this time, I'm simply going to use overwhelming power and rule with an iron fist! Do you understand? If you had simply become king, Unova would have remained beautiful!"''
:''"Come now, Trainer. This time no one will save you! But to make things interesting, I'll give you a chance. Let's see if you can stop THIS Kyurem!"'' (looks questioned)
:''"What's this? Your Poké Balls are trembling. Could your Pokémon be shaking with rage?"'' (slams his cane) ''"No! That's not possible! Simple tools don't have emotion or thought! Come! Challenge Kyurem! Just so you know, catching it is impossible! My cane emits signals that disrupt the function of all Poké Balls!"''

* If talked to before battling Kyurem
:''"Come now! I want to see your face at the moment you lose all hope! Battle to protect Unova! I've prepared the finest stage, and it's wasted on a bit player like you! Lose and go down in flames!"''

* After Kyurem is defeated
:''"I can't believe it! The Black{{sup/5|B2}}/White{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem I went to all the trouble of preparing! How irritating! Now I have to go recapture Kyurem, don't I? But first, I'll take down this disgusting Trainer with my own hand! This time I WILL succeed! No matter what they try, no one will be able to stop me!"''

* Upon the first non-KO HP loss
:''"I was expecting exactly that kind of move!"''

* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"What's this?! This is nothing like I expected!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Could it be?! My plans for complete and total world domination foiled yet again? No! It mustn't be! I couldn't have been defeated by some random Trainer from who knows where!"''

* After being defeated
:(steps back) ''"How can this be? I'm the creator of Team Plasma! I'm perfect! I'm the absolute ruler who will change the world! And I've lost to some unknown Trainer not once, but TWICE?!"'' (paces, then turns to N) ''"I can't accept this! This isn't possible! I can't be bested by fools who can't even use Pokémon correctly!"''
:(turns away) '''''"Shut your mouth! Shut up! Shut up! Shut UP! Don't talk like a person, you freak! No real person could talk to Pokémon!"'''''

==In the anime==
[[File:Ghetsis anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Ghetsis in the anime]]
[[File:BW121 Ceremony.png|thumb|250px|right|Conducting the Ceremony of Revival]]
Ghetsis is the head of Team Plasma, and the main antagonist of the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' arc. He made his debut in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', where he was seen briefly contacting [[Colress]] via a hologram communicator. He and Colress discussed the current status of the Pokémon control experiment, and when {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and [[Looker]] approached Team Plasma's laboratory, Ghetsis ordered Colress to turn the experimental Pokémon loose on them.

He appeared again, this time in person, in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. He was seen contacting Colress for an update on his Pokémon control experiment. Later, he spoke to several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, who were spying on the excavations made at the [[White Ruins]] as well as looking for {{an|N}} and conducting the mysterious "[[Genesect Army|Project G]]" and "Project F."

Ghetsis appeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' discussing his plans with Colress and [[Aldith]]. He also was seen in flashbacks to N's past, in which he raised N alongside [[Anthea and Concordia]] and wild Pokémon. In a later flashback, a ceremony he led in [[N's Castle]] involving N and the [[Seven Sages]] was interrupted by {{p|Reshiram}}, infuriating him.

He also had a brief appearance in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', meeting with Colress, Aldith and [[Barret]] via hologram and revealing the existence of the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}} to them.

He appeared briefly via a communicator ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'' before arriving at the White Ruins in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]''. With his followers having subdued Team Plasma's enemies, Ghetsis took the Light Stone and placed it on a pedestal in the ruins, then used his staff to initiate the ritual leading to Reshiram's awakening.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Ghetsis successfully summoned Reshiram and, with the help of Colress's machine, took control of it. Despite turning it on his enemies, however, he lost control of Reshiram when Colress's machine was destroyed. Ultimately, he was arrested by [[Looker]] along with the rest of his followers.

|desc=Ghetsis first summoned this {{p|Reshiram}} in a ceremony two years prior to the events in the anime. However, his plan to control it failed, as his goals led Reshiram to become enraged and destroy Team Plasma's mansion before flying away. These events were recounted by N in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', N surrendered the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Colress releasing Ash's Pikachu from his control. Ghetsis then arrived at the White Ruins and initiated the ceremony, resulting in Reshiram's resurrection in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. This time, Ghetsis had Colress use his Pokémon Control Device on Reshiram, placing it under Team Plasma's control. Ghetsis ordered it to go on a rampage, turning its power on both his enemies and his own followers, but when Pikachu fought Colress's control and shocked it, Reshiram began to regain its free will. It helped Pikachu destroy the machine, freeing all the controlled Pokémon, but then went on an even more violent rampage, stopping only when N managed to talk it down. Ghetsis still refused to admit defeat, however, admonishing Reshiram for disobeying him. After Ghetsis was captured along with the other members of Team Plasma, N came to understand Reshiram's motivations, and it departed peacefully.

Reshiram's known moves are {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ghetsis Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|Ghetsis in Pokémon Adventures]]
Ghetsis makes his first appearance in [[Accumula Town]], where he introduces [[Team Plasma]] and their campaign to the townspeople. He gives a speech asking the townspeople to free their Pokémon so that they can be truly equal to them. Although some were not swayed by his words, Ghetsis did manage to convince some of the townspeople to release their Pokémon into the wild.

During the attack on [[Nacrene City]] for the Dark Stone, Ghetsis had a Plasma Grunt trick {{adv|Black}} into revealing where it was kept hidden. After reaching the room, Ghetsis attacked Black and paralyzed him with his {{p|Eelektross}}. With the Dark Stone now in his possession, Ghetsis delivers the stone to N so that he can awaken the legendary Pokémon Zekrom.

When Team Plasma attacks the Pokémon League, Ghetsis uses [[Hawes]] as hostage to prevent [[Brycen]] from freeing the kidnapped Gym Leaders. He puts Brycen and the other Gym Leaders on crucifixes to taunt Black and others. Black attempts to retaliate, but his entire team is easily defeated by Ghetsis's {{p|Hydreigon}}. When no one is able to stop Team Plasma, several Trainers that Black met on his journey offer to help combat Ghetsis and the other Sages so that Black can move on.

After N is defeated, Ghetsis to Black reveals that he is N's father, that his full name is Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius (Japanese: '''ゲーチス・ハルモニア・グロピウス''' ''G-Cis Harmonia Gropius''), and that N has been nothing but more than a pawn for his true goals to make Pokémon illegal for everyone other than Team Plasma. He attempts to kill Black to prevent people from finding out about N's defeat and continue to use his son for his evil plans. Using a special team tailored to counter Black's team, Ghetsis manages to easily prevent Black's Pokémon from fighting back.

Black, furious from what he learned from Ghetsis, manages to have his Pokémon switch opponents so that he can free [[Musha]] from {{p|Cofagrigus}}'s grasp. With Musha's help, Black finds out that Ghetsis has a sixth Pokémon assisting him—a {{p|Volcarona}} he obtained from the [[Relic Castle]]. Having uncovered Ghetsis's secret weapon, Black has his entire team defeat Ghetsis's team by exploiting their weaknesses. Afterward, Black traps Ghetsis in a cage of Stone Edge pillars, finally defeating him and ending Team Plasma's goals.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, [[Colress]] reveals that Ghetsis is still an active part of Team Plasma, although he has given up his leadership to the scientist.

===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
Ghetsis makes an appearance in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} where he is discussing plans with a Team Plasma member on what to do with the Pokémon being released. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} disguises himself as a ninja and listens in.

==In the TCG==
[[File:GhetsisPlasmaFreeze115.jpg|200px|thumb|Right|Full Art print of Ghetsis]]
{{main|Ghetsis (Plasma Freeze 101)}}
'''Ghetsis''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Japanese {{TCG|Team Plasma Battle Gift Set}}, it was later released in the Japanese {{TCG|Spiral Force}} expansion and debuted in English in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion, with all three prints featuring an illustration by [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in the Spiral Force and Plasma Freeze expansions, with an illustration by [[Kanako Eo]]. Ghetsis makes the player's opponent reveal their hand and return any {{TCG|Item card}}s to their deck, which is then shuffled. As many cards as were shuffled back into the deck are then drawn by the opponent.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ghetsis right arm.png|thumb|right|Ghetsis's right arm in the Black and White opening]]
* The top of Ghetsis's robes in {{2v2|Black|White}} resemble the {{wp|battlement}}s of a castle.
* Ghetsis is the only villainous team leader in the main games that uses a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
* Ghetsis is 2.00 m (6'6") tall.
* Ghetsis is the only Trainer fought in the main story's final battle that is not the regional {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** Ghetsis is also the only Trainer in the [[core series]] games to use seven Pokémon to battle the {{player}}, as he has the player battle the Black{{sup/5|B2}}/White {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|W2}} he controls before challenging the player to a battle with his full [[party|team]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. The only other Trainer with a similar style of battling is [[Greevil]] in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Ghetsis is the only antagonist in the core series games to try to incapacitate the player. He attempts to have Kyurem {{status|freeze}} the player with {{m|Glaciate}}, but that move cannot cause freezing when used in battle. Before the English releases of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, this threat was mistranslated by various sources as a threat to kill and impale the player using Kyurem's icicles.
* In Black 2 and White 2, all of Ghetsis's Pokémon he also had in Black and White are two levels lower in Normal Mode and six levels lower in Easy Mode. However, they are two levels higher in Challenge Mode.
* Ghetsis's right arm is almost always concealed. It is only seen in Pokémon Black and White's opening, in which it appears discolored, and in ''[[PS468|Listening to Pokémon]]''.
** In Black 2 and White 2, Ghetsis mentions that he is going to take the player down with his "own hand" in singular, instead of "hand'''s'''" in plural, possibly indicating that he could have lost his right arm sometime after N's crowning.
* Ghetsis is the only villainous team leader in the anime to be arrested successfully at the conclusion of his plot.
* Out of all the [[villainous teams|villainous team]] leaders, Ghetsis is battled the least amount of times; only once per game.
* Ghetsis's anime incarnation appears to combine traits of his two video game incarnations. His personality is similar to his characterization in Black and White, but his outfit and open motives are taken from Black 2 and White 2.
* He bears some resemblance to Giovanni in his goals of world domination, a focus on Pokemon theft, uncaring and selfish parenthood, and the degradation of his sanity after being twice defeated by a child.

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') was the head of [[Team Rocket]], and served as the secretive [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]]. He handed out the {{Badge|Earth}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him. As a Gym Leader, he specialized in {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but his master plan includes collecting rare Pokémon of all [[type]]s. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Boss'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}/'''Rocket Boss'''{{sup/4|HGSS}} (Japanese: '''ロケットだんボス''' ''Team Rocket Boss'').

==In the games==
Giovanni is the primary antagonist of the games taking place in Kanto.

In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well-known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[villainous teams|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After he and his team of Grunts were defeated at [[Silph Co.]] by an {{ga|Red|eleven-year-old boy}}, Giovanni fled to a hideout that his antagonist was unaware of. Once the player returned to Viridian City, one of the major plot twists of these games revealed that Giovanni, in addition to his role as a criminal, was the final Gym Leader to be fought before the [[Elite Four]]—albeit one without a formal title. Here, he specializes in the {{t|Ground}} type. Once defeated, he disbanded Team Rocket and left the player with the {{Badge|Earth}} and {{TM|27|Fissure}}. He then vanishes and is not seen again for the rest of the game.

Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure). He also implies that he intends to return to power one day rather than being moved to dedicate his life to the study of Pokémon. There is a side-plot in the [[Sevii Islands]] that revolves around Giovanni; a group of Team Rocket members are trying to continue the aims of Team Rocket, but they abandon this when they realize that their leader has been defeated once and for all.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a group of Team Rocket members tries to relaunch the old team. They take over [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], and broadcast a radio announcement intended for Giovanni. Only in HeartGold and SoulSilver is it revealed that Giovanni does hear the broadcast, from his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]] - an event in the remakes involving a time-traveling {{p|Celebi}} allows {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} to travel back in time and defeat Giovanni at the same time the rest of Team Rocket is being defeated. Upon defeat he will begin ranting about how he keeps losing to children and, like before, Giovanni will leave the room and disappear. Later, in Kanto, it is revealed that {{ga|Blue}} took over the Viridian Gym after his disappearance.

The Celebi event also reveals some of Giovanni's background from the three years between Generation I/III and Generation II/IV. While it was mentioned in FireRed and LeafGreen that Giovanni has a son with red hair, the son's identity wasn't revealed until the time-travel event in HeartGold and SoulSilver. As many fans speculated (and as was mentioned in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga series), this son is the [[rival]] of the Johto player character, {{ga|Silver}}. Much of Silver's personality is a result of the treatment he received from Giovanni, which includes abandonment. Like many of Giovanni's other actions throughout the games, this reflects on his selfishness.

Giovanni reappears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], replacing Blue, who instead participates in the [[Champions Tournament]]. Giovanni returns to using Ground types exclusively. While the announcer usually introduces Gym Leaders by their title, Giovanni, who does not have a title, is introduced as "The Self-Proclaimed Strongest Trainer" (Japanese: '''さいきょうのトレーナーとなのる''' ''Claiming Himself the Strongest Trainer'').

==In the anime==
[[File:Giovanni BW anime.png|thumb|200px|Giovanni in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
===In the main series===
{{main|Giovanni (anime)}}
Giovanni appears in the anime as the head of [[Team Rocket]].
{{-}}
===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Giovanni Origins.png|201px|thumb|Giovanni in Pokémon Origins]]
Giovanni appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''. {{OBP|Red|Origins}} first recalled meeting him at the [[Rocket Hideout]]. They later encountered again at [[Silph Co.]] after Team Rocket had taken over the building. Seeing Red's arrogant and determined attitude to stop Team Rocket every time, Giovanni decided to put him in his place, and battled Red's {{p|Charizard}} with his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, winning easily before escaping with a helicopter, declaring that Red could never understand what he was hoping to achieve.
[[File:Young Giovanni PO.png|200px|thumb|left|Giovanni as a child]]
Giovanni appeared once more as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni accepted his Gym challenge, but Red claimed that he would battle him as the enemy of all Pokémon, instead of a Gym Leader. Hearing this, Giovanni put aside his usual Gym Leader battling [[party|team]] and took out his strongest pair of Pokémon, contained within {{ball|Ultra}}s. The first one was {{p|Rhyhorn}}, which single-handedly was able to defeat four of Red's Pokémon before drawing with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. During the battle, Giovanni started actually feeling excited, and wondered why he was feeling that way. When he saw the pose Red took while sending out his Charizard, he finally remembered his childhood passion for Pokémon and battling, and wondered how he could have ever turned into a person who only treated Pokémon as tools for business. After Red's Charizard had defeated Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni offered him the Earth Badge as a proof of his victory. Red, however, refused to take a Badge from the Boss of Team Rocket. Seeing this, Giovanni turned to his minions, informing them that from that moment onwards, Team Rocket would be offically disbanded. He then turned back to Red, now offering the Badge to him not as the Boss of Team Rocket but as the Viridian City Gym Leader. Red accepted the Earth Badge and left, heading for the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].

As his battle with Red had reminded Giovanni of how Pokémon could be taken as fun rather than business, he decided that he wanted to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, without being the Boss of Team Rocket any longer.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Giovanni FRLG Adventures.png‎|thumb|150px|Giovanni in the fifth chapter]]
{{main|Giovanni (Adventures)}}

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giovanni serves much the same role as he does in the games, although he now has [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Koga]] as subordinates. However, Giovanni is much more ruthless than his other counterparts.

===In the How I Became a Pokémon Card manga===
In ''[[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]'', a short {{pkmn|manga}} by [[Kagemaru Himeno]], he and {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} were shown to have been together for a long time, as he rescued the Pokémon when he was a child.
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Giovanni PM.png|thumb|left|Giovanni and his twin brother]]
{{main|Giovanni (Pocket Monsters)}}
Giovanni is the boss of Team Rocket in Pokémon Pocket Monsters.
{{-}}
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[File:Giovanni Zensho.png|thumb|250px|Giovanni in Pokémon Zensho]]
Giovanni appears in ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]'' watching {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from the hidden cameras within the [[Silph Co.]] building. He has one of his {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|minions}} to try to stop Satoshi from reaching him. [[PZ07|Two chapters later]], he has taken the boss of Silph Co. hostage and threatens to harm him if he refuses to tell Giovanni where the [[Master Ball]] was. However, he is interrupted when Satoshi and [[Sabrina]] teleport their way to the top floor. Lapras uses {{m|Mist}} to blind {{p|Nidoqueen}}, but she launches a {{m|Poison Sting}} attack. One of the needles from the attacks hits Giovanni. Satoshi and the others manage to escape afterwards. In ''[[PZ09|Viridian City]]'', Giovanni was revealed to be the final Gym Leader that Satoshi challenges. Satoshi manages to defeat him and earns the {{Badge|Earth}}.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pkmn|games}}, Giovanni is the only Gym Leader to appear outside of his Gym in [[Generation I]], a feature that would become more and more common up to [[Generation IV]], during and after which all Gym Leaders in the featured regions appear outside of their Gym in one way or another.
* In the English version of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, his name is misspelled "Giovani" (with one n). This is because the space for Trainer names only allows seven characters, whilst Giovanni's name has eight.
* Both Giovanni and [[Juan]] are the eighth Gym Leader in a region introduced in an odd-numbered generation. Both of their names are a foreign version of the name "John." Also, in Generation III, the manuals show them to be an unknown Gym Leader.
* In the official Red and Blue guide from [[Nintendo Power]], Giovanni was labeled to be a regional boss of Team Rocket (implying he's not the absolute leader). This was invalidated in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, where it was made clear that Giovanni was the absolute leader of Team Rocket (even having an [[Team Rocket HQ|office in Johto]]).
* Giovanni is the only criminal boss not to involve a [[legendary Pokémon]] in his exploits in the games. This is {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series|not the case}} in the anime or [[Thu-Fi-Zer|in Pokémon Adventures]].
** Giovanni is also the only criminal boss in the anime to have shown to have Pokémon of his own, not just controlled legendary Pokémon [[AG097|at]] [[DP152|some]] [[BW122|point]].
* Giovanni is likely based on the boss of a {{wp|Yakuza}} faction, possibly more on the {{wp|bakuto}} factions than others, considering [[Team Rocket]]'s former ownership of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Outside of Japan, this reference is localized, making him more akin to a {{wp|Mafia}} boss (especially considering his English name being Italian in origin).
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Giovanni and [[Norman]] are tied for using more different species of Pokémon than any other Gym Leader at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], with a total of 10.

A '''Hex Maniac''' (Japanese: '''オカルトマニア''' ''Occult Maniac'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation III]] games. They appear as young girls dressed as witches in Generation III and as young girls in long black dresses in [[Generation VI]]. They appear to be possessed in the Japanese versions of the Generation III games, much like {{tc|Channeler}}s before them. Though regardless of this they often have a spooky, eerie demeanour to them.

In [[Double Battle]]s, a Hex Maniac paired up with a {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}} battle together as {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}.

They specialize in a combination of {{type|Psychic}} and {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

* In [[Lumiose City]], on the second floor of the Fighting Dojo, a girl resembling a Hex Maniac mysteriously appears behind the player as soon as they enter the room, and moves around them without moving her legs, as if floating.

Legendary trio

2014-06-30T18:48:45Z

MegaNerd18: /* Trivia */ There's really no justification for saying Xerneas and Yveltal aren't part of a trio, at least not definitively, so I removed that mention and added a new point

A '''Legendary trio''' is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers: normal trios and mascot trios. Normal trios, which are always the first legends that appear in any [[Pokédex]] order, are allowed into the many [[Battle Tower]]s and other battle facilities. They are also the only Pokémon with [[base stats|base stat]] totals of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 580|580}}, besides the [[Swords of Justice]]. The mascot trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are [[version mascot]]s, are not allowed in the [[Battle Tower]] and are found closer to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release.

Five of the eight trios share at least one [[type]] (the weather, beast, and regi trios all bearing different types from each other), and members of a trio will also commonly share an [[Ability]] and base stat total (the Forces of Nature, the weather trio, and the Tao trio being different due to inclusion of a third member who is either superior or inferior to the first two for story purposes). All of the trios have a [[trio master|master]] who created them according to myth and/or is somehow able to exert control over them, though oftentimes, these masters are not introduced until a later generation or revealed to be the master until a [[third version]].

The term fell into official usage from the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]]' [[Wonder Card]]s.

==Trivia==
* The [[lake guardians]] are the only trio whose members are all {{t|Psychic|the same type}}. However, many other trios share types within the group.
* The [[weather trio]] is the only mascot trio in which none of its members have signature moves.
* Every core series [[version mascot]] since {{p|Suicune}} has been part of a legendary trio.
* {{p|Mewtwo}} is the only Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of over 600 that is not part of or related to any trio.
* Though it seems likely that Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde form a trio, it's yet to be seen if this will indeed be the case.

Talk:Legendary trio

2014-06-30T18:45:25Z

MegaNerd18: /* Kalos Trio soon to be... */

Here are some ideas: 

-Possibly better names for the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[weather trio]]s and [[Dialga]]/[[Palkia]]/[[Giratina]] (note that each of these guys have a similar look like all trios [these have a similar mouth] and share a naming system [like all trios except the weather trio]): Legendary fairies (maybe pixies/sprites/spirits?), legendary ancients, and legendary dragons (or something that involves dimensions). 

-I agree with several articles saying [[Rayquaza]] is the internal leader/mediator of the weather trio, especially since it is more powerful that the other 2. 

-I think maybe [[Arceus]] can be considered the leader of both the fairies and dragons. This would fit since it is so powerful. 

-I don't think the weather/dimensional trios can be considered true trios, since they break some patterns (Weather - not all are equally powerful; internal leadership; don't share a naming system; they look similar but are not in the same, say, "family"; while other trios would typically share the same stance (flying, all fours, bipedal, etc.), these do not; Dimensional - not all together in 'dex listings; stance thing). Also, perhaps one could say each has a legendary that sort of opposes what they represent? The weather trio all represent a part of the Earth, whereas [[Deoxys]] is an extra-terrestrial being, and the dimensional trio each represent a dimension of reality, whereas [[Darkrai]] represents dreams. So perhaps these guys can be seen as "leader" (well, antithesis) to these trios. 

Sorry for the OR. ^^; --[[User:Momru|Momru]] 21:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

== Merging the trio pages ==

I think all of the trio pages should be merged into this article. Most are very short and would fit under their own headings in this article. At the very least, [[trio master]] should be merged with this article. Thoughts? --[[User:Momru|Momru]] 16:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:I was just going to suggest this. It sounds like a great idea. Whoo for extremely late replies. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 13:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

== Other Possible Groupings ==

;Celebi (Prayer)
;Jirachi (Wish)
*This is also hinted at when Jirachi replaced Celebi on the bonus disc; Celebi's wish-granting seems to be the benevolent kind that gods do, Jirachi's seem to be the literal, malevolent kind that demons/genies do

;Shaymin (Nature)
;Rotom (Technology)

;Regigigas (Pangaea)
;Manaphy (Panlassa)
*Phione is servant to Manaphy

;Deoxys (DNA/Space)

::It does have the music, and you can only catch one in an event battle. Plus, Manaphy/Phione is also in the genderless egg group. I don't know, it just seems to be set up as an opposite pretty well.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 19:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:::Music doesn't make the legendary. Otherwise Cresselia and Shaymin wouldn't be legendary. Besides, Rotom doesn't represent technology, it pretty much destroys it. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:::True, but that also means that not all legendaries must appear in the exact same circumstances, and Rotom still has the traditional "legendary pokemon" theme. While Rotom may corrupt technology, it is still drawn to it - just like how Lugia is drawn to the sea, while its duty in the movie is to depower it.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 19:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, has anyone noticed how the trio pics on this site are (no offense) COMPLETELY PATHETIC?!?! I say someone ask Aragornbird (the webmaster on Arkeis.com) to make some trio pics. Those things are terrible! {{User|Giratina's Embodiment}}
:Official artwork is preferable to fan art. We get less edit wars that way. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I still say we should call in aragornbird, his pics are awsome. Please don't say 'if you think FAW is so good, you draw pics yourself', because I can barely draw Ditto. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 23:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Other Possible Groupings Part II ==

I think you should extend those to full trio ideas, rather than just duo such. I would do at least one:
Mew/Celebi/Jirachi ('Cute' trio)
Also, while we're on the talk of 'cute' legends, I agree with whoever in Terminia put up a Manaphy/Phione pair on the duos page. I need to get to that right now. What in the name of Majora put brains in that guy? (Sorry, that's a compliment). [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 23:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

'''NO''' merging the trio pages on my watch. Although I agree with merging the Legendary Trio and Trio Master pages. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 18:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Pics Part II ==

Okay, I have an idea. I'm gonna talk to aragornbird, and if he agrees, how about we ''add'' the pics rather than changed to them? Because I think those pics are awesome, but agree with Fabu-Vinny; it'll prevent unnessasary edit wars. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 18:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Naming Ideas ==

I think that these trios ''need better names!'' for example;
G/K/R: Wheather Trio? Bad Name. Mabye change to Legendary Earthmasters? Or Super-Ancients, I like that one.
U/M/A: Lake Trio? Again, bad name. Try Lake Spirits, or Legendary Spirits.
D/P/G: Dragon Trio? Not to bad, but I like that Universal Trio one. Or Legendary Universals.

Good point, but could we at least throw in alternate names for them, like (using dragon trio as example)

Dragon trio is the term used to describe the trio of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. They are also known as the Universal Trio.

Or something like that. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 20:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Whatever. I'm just gonna specify what my names meant.

Earthmasters: This trio controls the condition of the Earth. Super-Ancients: They are ancient Pokémon.

Lake Spirits: This trio's member's all live in lakes in all games they appear in, and M/A are seen as spirits in the anime. Legendary Spirits: latter of previous explanation.

Universal Trio: This trio may as well control the universe. Legendary Universals: Exact same thing. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] 22:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Muskadeers"? ==

I belive a mention is the least they can have; they behave exactly like the trios of older generations, with 580 BST and their avaliability. Keldeo acts in some ways like a trio master, rather that making a quartet, and is an event Pokemon on top of that. Also, it is d'Artagnan and the Three Muskateers, not The Four Muskateers, keep that in mind.

As for the Fuijin/Raijin trio, Landros has a higher BST that Tornaros and Voltros, and acts in some ways similar to a trio master. Both of the traditional 580 trios in Gen V are unorthodox, but they deserve a mention at least.

I would argue about making a mention of Mewtwo, Lugia and Ho-Oh having a relationship similar to that of trios like the Dragon one, but not being a real trio due to their origins being quite different, and the only relation between Mewtwo and the birds being on a statistical level.

:::I think calling it uncategorised could confuse people who come to the page. While not all 3 of them are mascots it can be assumed that Kyurem will be the mascot for the 3rd version, though assumption isn't good enough to list it as so. However if Kyurem isn't the mascot then it would be listed as a normal trio which would confuse some who would think otherwise. I think the problem is that a Mascot trio hasn't been properly defined. Is it where all 3 members are mascots? In which has while Kyurem may be a mascot in the future for now it isn't and thus the Energy Dragons aren't (at the moment) as mascot trio. Is it where the majority (two thirds) are mascots? In which case even while Kyurem isn't a mascot the trio has enough mascot members to count as a mascot trio. [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] 12:25, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trio Names ==

Any reason that the trio names are somewhat inconsistent?

:'''We have:'''

::*The Legendary Birds, Beasts, and Golems.

::*Then the Lake Guardians.

::*And then the Musketeer, Kami, Weather, Creation, Tao trio.

----
Clearly this is inconsistent, and I think some changes should and can be made. The Birds, Beasts, and Golems are fine. The term, "Lake Guardians", is canon. (in the anime) Musketeer trio seems a bit biased since they are NOT the musketeers, just BASED off the three Musketeers, however the name will work for now unless an official name is released, however I would prefer Legendary musketeers over Musketeer trio. Same goes for Kami trio, and if agreed upon, I think it should change to "Legendary kami" as well, considering they are all based off kami. Tao trio is.. awful. I don't think a trio should be named after an entire religion. If anything else, Balance trio would be better, but to be consistent, Balance dragons would work as well.
----

:'''This would leave us with:'''

::*Legendary Birds.

::*Legendary Beasts.

::*Legendary Golems.

::*Lake Guardians.

::*Legendary Musketeers.

::*Legendary Kami.

::*Balance Trio or Balance Dragons. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:54, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
:Clearly, this is your preference. ...You also forgot the Weather trio and the Creation trio. What, okay, you'd make it the Creation dragons. Good luck on the Weather.
:Their names have never been about "consistency". This is about '''what people call them''' collectively, and giving them something to be called under. Obviously none of these names are official by far (save the Lake trio's), but uniformity is silly. By the way, no one's probably going to get "Balance" since you need to understand what they're a balance of before you get why. Which is why Tao makes tons more sense...and it's hella shorter. And if you can make something shorter in this fandom, people will prefer it. ...You can't call them the "Legendary Kami", anyway. Kami as gods are legendary in their own right, so redundancy is redundant. ...You also argue that calling them Musketeers is biased, since they're based on them, not are them. Then "Kami" is biased, too, since they're based on gods, not are them. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 22:09, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
::"Same goes for Kami trio", Yeah, I know that Kami is biased. Anyway, you make valid points. I still hate Tao Trio, [And the fact that people will pronounce it "Tay-oh" (rhymes with Mayo) when it is actually "Dow" (rhymes with Cow)] but I understand what you are saying. I wish they'd just give these trios canon names. :P --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 21:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I've been using Dimension Trio for Dia/Pal/Gira since DP. Makes sense doesn't it? :/ Creation Trio is taking it too far.
Unless we see another trio of dragons, Legendary Dragons is the simple solution (unlike the Dimension trio, these are actually referred to (all the time too) as dragons. Also note that their first types are Dragon, unlike the case for the Dimension trio which have it as the extra type.). --[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 15:49, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

== Musketeers' status as a trio ==

While the Musketeers are currently listed as a quartet, the release of [[M15]] may change Keldeo's status from "unofficial quartet member" to "trio master" due to the other three appearing in the film as well. Speaking of which, why did we decide Keldeo was a normal member in the first place? [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 00:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

The musketeers are not on here?? If it's because of Keldeo, how comes no one insisted on taking off the golems when Regigigas came around in DP I wonder... well because they're still a trio obviously. Same applies for the musketeers. Golems got a master, musketeers got an apprentice. These are not equal members of the group.

Then there is the Weather and Kami trio. When there is 2 contrasting members, perfect counterparts in every possible way, but there is also a third similar pokemon but superior in several aspects.. does that really still count as a trio? Wouldn't that just make them a duo with a master?

I'm just asking for consistency here. On one hand regis are a trio with a master but at the same time, the weather guys are a trio,
when actually, both are made up of a smaller group and a master.....

Also the Tao trio is rushed. Unless Kyurem turns into a proper third member (we know it has 2 formes but that doesn't help this case so far), it's actually the duos opposite. Reshiram and Zekrom are about energy, they have tails resembling a generator and torch, while Kyurem has nothing attached to it (well, imitations in formes soon) looking like a plug, and is covered in actual ice, which fits with it having no energy source. So we can only guess for now till June, but it seems really obvious that whatever happens to it, it won't suddenly become a true "legendary dragon of Unova", which is what the duo is called throughout the games. --[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 22:14, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Know what? There should simply be a single page about groups of legendary pokemon...--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 10:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
: The Musketeers were on the page but were apparently dropped... by an Administrator, but with no explanation or (if this talk page is any indication) apparent consensus. Fourth member or no, I'd say the Musketeers are far more in line with the birds/beasts/golems/faeries than the Kamis are - as far as in-game roles go, the Kamis function far more like Lati@s with a third member. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 03:40, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

::::Couldn't agree more on your upper comment HeroicJay. If the musketeers are a quartet and the kamis are a trio, then the regis are a quartet by all means. Except that everyone knows they're a trio with a master. Might as well make the beasts and Ho-oh a quartet /sarcasm. The movie might as well tell us the musketeers are a quintet with Shuckle, but I don't think it would make a good amount of sense to classify them as such because of it... They don't design the pokemon, they don't choose their background and concepts and they make up loads of stuff for the anime that would never happen in the games.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 19:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

If you've seen the ingame event in BW that Keldeo triggers:
"Long ago, a fire started in the Moor of Icirrus because of a war among people. In this fire, Keldeo was separated from its parents, but together, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion took care of Keldeo. They acted as its parents, and they taught it knowledge and moves for survival. '''Keldeo eventually grew and even surpassed the three Pokémon.''' One day, Keldeo took off from the forest with no one knowing why.
When the three meet again, they teach Keldeo the move Secret Sword."
Clearly it's not a normal member of the group.
Plot-wise
Concept-wise
Special move
Its an event pokemon for crying out loud.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 20:04, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

== Legendary group pages are a mess ==

I find it hard to believe that no one else thinks there's an embarrassing amount of inconsistency throughout pages like this one, trio masters, along with the individual group ones.

== Kalos Trio soon to be... ==

Since only X and Y have come out, the Kalos trio has been placed under the Normal Legendary Trio category...at least until Z or whatever comes out. All members of the trio must be a mascot for their games before they get the honor of being called Mascot Legendary Trios.

Also 'Kalos Trio' is only a place holder until the official name is adopted. From what I am seeing.... Ragnarok Trio, Yggdrasil Trio, Norse Trio, Circle of Life Trio or possibly Cartesian Trio are plausible candidates for this honor.

Once a name is adopted, and its decided rather or not the newest trio will be Mascot Legendary Trio, the info on the page can be changed. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 13:19, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

:So why were these guys moved to the duo page? Considering this is all just fan wankery to begin with it seems absolutely absurd that we need to "wait until Z comes out so it's official" in order to apply a silly fan term to something that's obviously consistent with the trios from every generation since III. [[User:Snorlax69|Snorlax69]] ([[User talk:Snorlax69|talk]]) 18:32, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

::Regardless of what you do in regards to them, I don't really think you need a Pokemon Z to justify classifying them as a trio. Their names alone make it very clear with the X, Y, Z thing. And you definitely shouldn't have this "Every core series version mascot since Suicune, excluding the mascots of remakes and X and Y, has been part of a legendary trio" as a trivia thing because it's very clear that Xerneas and Yveltal are part of a trio with Zygarde.

Villainous team

2014-06-26T14:09:54Z

MegaNerd18: /* Comparisons */

{{incomplete|needs=This article needs quite a bit of cleanup, maybe a few images, and needs Team Debonairs and Great Rocket.}}
'''Villainous teams''' (English: Team ~; Japanese: ～団 ''-dan'') are {{wp|Organized crime|criminal organizations}} which form the core of the storyline of [[Pokémon games]]. There are six in the [[core series]] as of [[Generation VI]]: [[Team Rocket]], found in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]] and the remakes of both generations; [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], found in the [[Generation III]] core games and their remakes; [[Team Galactic]], found in the [[Generation IV]] core games; [[Team Plasma]] of the [[Generation V]] games; and finally [[Team Flare]] of the [[Generation VI]] games. Six villainous teams have appeared so far in the various [[side series]] games: [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]; the [[Go-Rock Squad]] of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}; Teams [[Team Dim Sun|Dim Sun]] and [[Team Debonairs|Debonairs]] of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}; and the [[Pokémon Pinchers]] of {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing they all have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Comparisons==
While [[Team Rocket]] has vague goals and is {{wp|Mafia}}-like (or perhaps {{wp|Yakuza}}-like, considering the Japanese background), the other known villainous teams Team Aqua, Team Magma, as well as Team Plasma have clear goals and are {{wp|cult}}-like, fanatically believing that achieving their goals will bring about the best interests of the people of the world. Cipher and Team Snagem work together to steal Pokémon from others and create [[Shadow Pokémon]] from them, while the leader of Team Galactic wishes to recreate the universe in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}}. The Go-Rock Squad plan to take over the Pokémon Rangers by capturing powerful Pokémon, making them cause disasters, then commanding the Pokémon to stop by using Stylers so they will be regarded as heroes. [[Team Dim Sun]] plans on using Pokémon to make energy for Altru Inc. and Almia. Each has an iconic leader - [[Giovanni]] (later missing), [[Archie]], [[Maxie]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], [[Lysandre]], [[Evice]] and [[Greevil]], [[Gonzap]], [[Cyrus]], [[Gordor]], and [[Blake Hall]] respectively.

Team Rocket had extensive presence in [[Generation I]], including running the [[Celadon Game Corner]], invading [[Silph Co.]], and murdering [[Marowak (ghost)|at least one Pokémon]]. Even in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where law enforcement officers are clearly present, Team Rocket's activities continue unhindered, as if they were above the law.

By [[Generation II]], they have lost most of their power and attempted to re-group in the [[Johto]] region. They initially managed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], only to be defeated by the [[player character|player]], forcing [[Team Rocket]] to disband yet again. 

In contrast, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s crimes are more extreme, including stealing [[Peeko|a Pokémon]], a meteorite, and one [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]]; and causing catastrophes: halting the activity of [[Mt. Chimney|a volcano]] and causing droughts and heavy rains by awakening {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

Like Team Rocket, [[Team Galactic]] appears to run the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. However, unlike the other teams, Team Galactic has several facilities. A warehouse and [[Team Galactic HQ|the headquarters]] are both in [[Veilstone City]], and [[Galactic Eterna Building|another building]] is located in [[Eterna City]]. Team Galactic is far more successful than the other teams in accomplishing their goals, as they have captured {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, created the [[Red Chain]], and temporarily capture {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} until the player character and the [[lake guardians]] (or, in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{p|Giratina}}) foils them.

[[Team Plasma]] appears to work in a more mysterious attitude, especially their leader, [[N]]. Their goal is, seemingly, unlike the other villainous teams, not abusing Pokémon, but separating humans and Pokémon, comparing Pokémon under a Trainer's command to slaves. (They believe that liberation will actually ''help'' the Pokémon.) However much of this is revealed to be a ruse by the true leader of the team, Ghetsis, who's using the 'liberation' propaganda to, effectively, trick the entire Unova region into disarming themselves and thus allowing him, through Team Plasma, to dominate the entire region.

The above refers to the games; however, there is a darker interpretation of the teams in the manga [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Core series==
===[[Team Rocket]]===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|right|Team Rocket Grunts]]
Team Rocket members wear black costumes and have a red "R" as their crest. Many variations of the costume have been seen. Their leader is [[Giovanni]].
====In the games====
In [[Generation I]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money, through methods such as burglary and selling Fossils. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the Silph Corporation building in Saffron City. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of Celadon's Game Corner.

Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by {{ga|Red}}/{{ga|Leaf}}, he resigned his position and disappeared to train. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the Sevii Islands until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

For three years, Team Rocket appeared to be gone completely. However, an underground movement, led by executives from the [[Sevii Islands]], developed in the Johto region. As usual, it began with crimes committed to earn money (such as cutting off Slowpoke tails and selling them at outrageous prices).

As the [[Johto]] Team Rocket grew in size, scientists within the group studied radio waves and how they might be used to control Pokémon. From a former ninja base in [[Mahogany Town]], their experiments affected the Magikarp at the Lake of Rage, causing the Pokémon to evolve unnaturally. Although the experiment was stopped by Lance, Team Rocket soon took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, intending to use its transmitter to affect Pokémon nationwide and contact their leader, Giovanni.

Before putting their plan into action, however, Team Rocket used the tower to instead attempt to contact Giovanni, hoping he would hear their message and come back to lead. This gave {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} enough time to infiltrate the besieged Goldenrod and defeat Team Rocket's executives, who again disbanded the group. Meanwhile, a time traveling Ethan/Lyra from the future fights Giovanni while the other watches the fight. He then vanishes after the fight and Ethan and Lyra return to their time.

====In the anime====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode since [[EP002|the second]], usually as the bumbling trio [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, though at times [[Giovanni]] as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], will appear.

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Rocket first appear in Pokémon Adventures when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket on a whole.

Contrary to the games and anime, who generally depict [[Gym Leader]]s as valiant, with a few exceptions. In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the [[Team Rocket Triad]], are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga.

For a short time, [[Blaine]] too worked for Team Rocket, making 5 out of the 8 [[Gym Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Leaders]] Rocket affiliated at some point in their life.

As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad, and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket make a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own uses. At this point his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]] and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and eventually {{p|Celebi}}, and through that control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. The main aim for Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it. It is unclear what Team Rocket's fate are at the end of this arc, but with the members in disarray, it is most likely that it dissolved.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, Crys, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three Legendary Pokémon would cause the destruction of both Johto and Sinnoh, as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms down the Legendary Pokémon, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward of his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself.

===[[Team Aqua]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua Grunts.png|thumb|Team Aqua Grunts]]
They wear blue costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits. They have a skull-and-bones-like "A" as their crest. Their leader is [[Archie]]. Team Aqua tries to expand the ocean and awaken {{p|Kyogre}}.

====In the games====
Team Aqua is led by [[Archie]]. They attempt to expand the ocean and awaken Kyogre in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]] and {{v2|Emerald}}, but help the player defeat team Magma in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby]].

====In the anime====

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Aqua is led by [[Archie]]. Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Kyogre}} and increase the sea in the Hoenn region.
There are three Executives, known as the SSS of Team Aqua, which can be considered a parallel not only to the Three Fires of Team Magma, but the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one member of the SSS of Team Aqua went his own way, but rather than leaving Team Aqua, it was rejoining after being kicked out.

Team Aqua and Team Magma are presented more individually in Adventures than in any other medium. Team Aqua seem to have more influence, with Archie holding the position of News Director, but they don't seem to be as well equipped, as shown by the fact that they had no idea what the Orbs were until Amber spied on Team Magma.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Team Magma Grunts.png|thumb|Team Magma Grunts]]
They wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp. They have a stylized "M", appearing like a volcano, as their team's signature crest. Their leader is [[Maxie]]. Team Magma attempts to wake {{p|Groudon}} and expand the land area of the world.

====In the games====
They are led by [[Maxie]]. In Pokémon Ruby their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] are looking for information about the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Groudon}}, and the weather Pokémon, [[Castform]]. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built, and travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Blue Orb to awaken Groudon.

====In the anime====

====In the manga====
=====Pokémon Adventures=====
Team Magma is led by [[Maxie]].
Their principal aim is to gain control of {{p|Groudon}} and increase the landmass in the Hoenn region.

There are three Executives, known as the Three Fires of Team Magma, which can be considered a parallel not only to the SSS of Team Aqua, but also the Team Rocket Triad and the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. Like the other villainous trios, one of the Three Fires of Team Magma goes her own way, in this example, it is Marge, who decides to help {{adv|Ruby}} stop {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} rather than further the cause of Groudon, as the Team's principal aim is. The Three Fires of Team Magma are more distinct from each other than the SSS of Team Aqua, because they all have an individual way of using fire. Marge's is the most straight forward, she simply aims to burn things, Mitch uses smoke to hide his movements and Mack uses heat to cause his victims to hallucinate, oddly, he seems to be able to control these hallucinations.

Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a Legendary Pokémon and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and acquisition of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains.

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Diamond Pearl Team Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Galactic Grunts]]
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites.

====In the games====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this team's leader (named [[Cyrus]]) wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit.

====In the anime====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they (Team Rocket) did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn.

====In the manga====

=====In Pokémon Adventures=====

=====In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!=====
Like in the games, the team is led [[Cyrus]]. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader, since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of the life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] becomes the new leader and tried to capture [[Heatran]]. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters.

One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.

===[[Team Plasma]]===
[[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|left|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black and White]]
[[File:Black 2 White 2 Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Plasma Grunts as they appear in Black 2 and White 2]]
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the Unova region. Originally, the grunts wear a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wear robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his adopted father, [[Ghetsis]]. After this is discovered, the members of Team Plasma that support Ghetsis change their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that support N remain in the old uniform. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.

====In the games====
Team Plasma appears in various locations. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other Legendary Pokémon and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].

In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the new Team Plasma, is led by [[Colress]]. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions.

The reformed members and N help the player against new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.

====In the anime====
Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|debut]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] were postponed due to {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan but was later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc but in their new outfits.

N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance  in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. Also, [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode rescuing N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the [[Unova]] region.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Flare]]===
[[File:XY_Team_Flare_Grunts.png|thumb|left| Team Flare Grunts]]
Team Flare is the villainous team of the Kalos region. Team Flare Grunt's uniform is a mafia styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits and Scientists wear red suits of varying designs. Their symbol is a flaming letter F.

====In the games====
At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite of their goal, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world on the benefit of only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare would attempt to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossils]]. They would also syphon energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on steal [[Poké Balls]] from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] which they would use to increase their army of powerful Pokémon.

It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves in order to start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations to this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and the large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies.

Post Elite Four, the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.

====In the anime====
Everything associated with Orre does not appear as in the anime. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based on him.

====In the manga====

===[[Team Snagem]]===
====In the games====
In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD this team tries to steal every Pokémon in the world using their special device, the [[Snag Machine]]. In both games, their leader was [[Gonzap]].

They are a team of Pokémon in the second pair of Mystery Dungeon games. It is made up of {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Koffing}}, and {{P|Zubat}}. They frequently harass the player's team, until [[Brine Cave]], where Skuntank is injured. The two teams finally make up, and Team Skull is never seen again.

Metal Coat,

Does that means that it is found only on some wild Steelix wich appears in Iron Island or in any wild Steelix?

:From what I can tell, it means that there is one findable on Iron Island, and more can be stolen from a wild Bronzor, Bronzong, Steelix, Magnemite, or Beldum. Besides, out of the five Pokémon Metal Coats can be attached to in the wild, Steelix is the only one that even appears on Iron Island, which meant if attached Metal Coats were limited to Iron Island, only Steelix could hold them...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

* ''In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{t|Normal}} type, which had both the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, where each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a [[Plate]], except the Normal type.''
** ''However, some types have even more than this, due to [[incense]]s.''
** ''In Generation V, [[Gem]]s were added as well, this time including a Normal variety with the other types. Gems, unlike other type-enhancing items, increase damage by 50%, but are consumed after use.''
I think this whole thing should be removed. There are too many exceptions, the incenses make the Gen II/IV comparison completely pointless, and the Gen V bullet really has little to do with it. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWanna]]BeThe[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|VeryBest]] 00:49, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

==Overworld Sprite==
I don't think this sentence in the physiology section is necessary: "It should be noted that on its overworld sprite, the left part of its overall bodyparts is somehow broken and smaller than the right part." The smaller part is correct, sure, but it isn't broken--it's just smaller because of the perspective. Same goes for its forward-facing battle sprite. At the very least, "overall bodyparts" should be changed to just "body." [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 03:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== Feelings? ==

Out of curiosity, how is Kyurem a "Feelings Pokémon"? I think that 境界 ''kyoukai'' (boundary) would make more sense than 胸懐 ''kyoukai'' (heart/feelings). Though, there's the possibility that "Kyoukai" could be from 鏡 ''kyou'' (mirror) and 灰 ''kai'' (gray/grey/ash/griseous). [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 08:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

:The in-game description, according to Veekun, is きょうかい . Compare it to Reshiram's はくよう (white yang) and Zekrom's こくいん (black yin), and we may find something. [[User:Eriorguez|Eriorguez]] 06:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Kyurem's page says that it '''is''' an extraterrestrial Pokemon. But it isn't expressly stated that he arrived on that meteor- it's only a legend, same as Clefairy. Neither is there any mention of Kyurem's name in the game when discussing it. Shouldn't it say "'''may be''' an extraterrestrial Pokemon", or something similar?

== Imprison Level ==

Do you consider it noteworthy that the levels at which Kyurem (and by extension Reshiram and Zekrom) attempt(s) to learn Imprison are 8 and 64? 8² = 64 and so the root of 64 is eight. Since the games draw some inspiration from mathematics, as seen in N, N's Themes and the boats in Castelia City this might be programmed in intentionally.

== Formes have second highest base stat totals and second highest attack/special attack ==

Is it worth noting this, considering that it's apparently only two thirds of the full Pokemon? Or is it something that isn't worth noting at all? --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] ([[User talk:Shadowater|talk]]) 20:18, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

== Hourly changes in article also changing the movesets? ==

I noticed that as of this moment, with the article displaying White Kyurem, it's only showing the moveset for it, with no means to view the movesets for Black or regular Kyurem. I understand the point behind the alternating images to show off the different forms, but this is getting to the point where it makes the article ''less'' informative by making it impossible to look up complete information on the pokemon without checking back at three different times. I'm not even remotely familiar with how all the coding for this works, but isn't there a way that it could be set up so that all the moveset information would still be accessible via link or such for the alternate forms regardless of which one is displayed? Because speaking as a casual user who likes to be able to quickly look up information from time to time, this is frankly obnoxious. It's not just an aesthetic change- which would be fine- but actually making it impossible to view a thorough and accurate article at one time. --[[User:ACDragonMaster|ACDragonMaster]] ([[User talk:ACDragonMaster|talk]]) 01:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, I believe the switch only switches the learnset visible when you first get on the page. You can get to the other movesets by pressing the small "show" buttons next under the moveset section of the article. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 01:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

In the same vein, I came to this page just to compare the artwork of all three forms, but that can't be done with the current set-up. I cleared the cache which gave me one other artwork, and went into edit the page to get the filenames so I could merely link to them, but they're not there. To this I say, why not implement a gallery section for pages that have this coding to reflect different forms? As also a casual user agreeing with the above poster, I feel it's a good idea in theory but makes finding what you want more difficult. - [[User:Deadlyslashsword|'''+Deadly''']][[User Talk: Deadlyslashsword|'''Slash''']][[Special:Contributions/Deadlyslashsword|'''Sword+''']] 01:14, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

== Black/White Kyurem Base stats? ==

Are the Black/White Kyurem Base stats unknown, since they are not [[Kyurem (Pokémon)#Base stats|listed]]? That is, not even that the total for both is 700. --[[User:Det|Det]] ([[User talk:Det|talk]]) 17:53, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I've uploaded [[a:File:White Kyurem title screen.png|White Kyurem]] model from title screen about year ago (back when games were only in Japan), but it's unused. Any idea where it could have a use? I totally forgot what I was doing with it... And I've just noticed that I uploaded it in 4x size (that is it's 4 times as big as in-game, considering games are 256x192 and file is 1024x768...). Could "update" so it's the size it should be. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 18:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

== Exp, EV, and the DNA Splicer ==

How does fusing Kyurem with Zekrom or Reshiram affect gaining Exp. and EV points? Do both of the pokemon involved (Kyurem and Zekrom/Reshiram) gain them or only Kyurem? [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] ([[User talk:Legionaireb|talk]]) 05:33, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
:Zekrom/Reshiram fuctionally don't exist while part of Black/White Kyurem. So basically, Kyurem gets all of the exp, and EV points. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 05:35, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Pronunciation ==

This goes for a couple other Pokemon with somewhat awkward names as well. I feel that there should be something showing the correct pronunciation of some of the names. Kyurem in particular I find to be difficult to get my head around. [[User:MegaNerd18|MegaNerd18]] ([[User talk:MegaNerd18|talk]]) 19:45, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

::Then just include multiple official sources. You already go into great detail about some of the name origins and that's arguably less relevant than how to say the name itself.

'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. Standing in the center of the city is the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], which serves as its symbol. The wide roadways are paved with brick and cobblestone, allowing both automobile and {{p|Gogoat}} traffic safe and easy travel. Lumiose City is the largest city in the Pokémon world.

==Places of interest==
===Prism Tower===
{{main|Lumiose Gym}}
Prism Tower is a large tower located in Centrico Plaza in the middle of Lumiose City. It houses the [[Lumiose Gym|Lumiose City Gym]]. Prism Tower is based on the real-world Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

===North Boulevard===
====Lumiose Galettes====
A small shop located amongst the tall buildings on the North Boulevard where the player can purchase {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lumiose Galette}}s for {{pdollar}}100 ({{pdollar}}80 if the player is more stylish) for one hour starting at 3 am, 9 am, 3 pm and 9 pm. Once per day upon purchasing, the player will also receive a {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}}. Once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness they can purchase Lumiose Galette any time of day.

====Lumiose Museum====
{{main|Lumiose Museum}}
A large, white building that houses many paintings of people and locations in the Pokémon World. Entrance is free, but audio guides are available for {{pdollar}}200 (Once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness, the audio guides become free).

====Hotel Richissime====
{{main|Hotel Richissime}}
A large, black building located on the North Boulevard, serving as a luxury hotel. Each day, the player can complete specific tasks in the hotel to receive money.

====Battle Institute====
{{main|Battle Institute}}
The Battle Institute (Japanese: '''トライアルハウス''' ''Trial House'') on the North Boulevard works in the same way as the one in [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Unova]]. The player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive single or double battles) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win [[Battle Point|BP]] here.

====Lumiose Station====
A very large train station located on the far eastern half of the North Boulevard. Upon defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion, Professor Sycamore will meet the player here and give them the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|TMV Pass}} which allows them to board the train to [[Kiloude City]].

====Looker Bureau====
[[Looker]]'s headquarters during the post-game storyline are located in a narrow street between North Boulevard and Rouge Plaza. It is initially empty, but Looker settles in after the player enters the Hall of Fame and upgrades the [[Mega Ring]].

After completing all the Looker Bureau chapters, the player can battle [[Emma]] in the Expansion Suit (as Essentia) here on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

===South Boulevard===
====PR Video Studio ====
A purple building on the South Boulevard where Trainer PR Videos are filmed. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's Nintendo 3DS friend code.

====Sycamore Pokémon Lab====
[[Professor Sycamore]]'s Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon Battle early in the game, as well as their corresponding Mega Stone. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, they can return to the lab to get the Poké Radar from one of the scientists in the lab.

====Coiffure Clips====
A small hair dressing salon located opposite the {{rt|5|Kalos}} entrance. The player can have their hair colored and styled here. More styling options become available once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness.

===Autumnal Avenue===
====Poké Ball Boutique====
A specialty shop that specializes in different kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s. It is notably the only location in any Pokémon game where {{DL|Poké Ball|Premier Ball}}s are sold individually.

====Juice Shoppe====
A specialty shop that sells juices made from [[Berry|Berries]]. Available from the man on the left are pre-made juices whose selection list changes each day. They can have various effects on the Pokémon drinking the juice, ranging from increasing [[Effort Values]] to level. If the Pokémon already has maximum value on the particular stat, the juice will increase its happiness instead. By looking at the price of the juice, the player may determine intensity of the effects. For example, a Purple Juice priced at {{Pdollar}}1,500 will increase {{stat|HP}} {{EV}}s of the Pokémon by 15, or a Rare Soda priced at {{Pdollar}}20,000 will increase level of the Pokémon by two. There is also an Ultra Rare Soda, which increases the level of the drinker, but will not induce evolution or allow it to learn moves it would otherwise learn via level up.

From the lady on the right, custom-blend juices are made for free by mixing two chosen Berries from the player's bag. Different {{dl|Berry fields|Berry Colors|color}} of the berries yield different results. The intensity of the effects can also be roughly pre-determined; the rarer the berry is, the higher the EV it will give.

Note that each type of juices can be bought/made only once a day. However, the juices cannot be kept, so they must be given to a Pokémon in the player's party right away.

===Estival Avenue===
[[File:XY Prerelease Lumiose City.png|thumb|right|300px|A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue]]

====Loto-ID Center====
{{main|Pokémon Lottery Corner}}
A shop located on Estival Avenue. Each day, the player may participate in a lottery draw, and prizes are granted depending on how many digits from a randomly generated ID number match those of any Pokémon in the player's possession.

====Lumiose Press====
A building located next to the Loto-ID Center on Estival Avenue. [[Viola|Viola's]] sister, [[Alexa]], will recommend various locations around the city for the player to visit, and offers to take them there.

===Vernal Avenue===
====Friseur Furfrou====
A shop on Vernal Avenue that specializes in {{p|Furfrou}} haircuts. They initially offer Star, Diamond and Heart Trims. As the player progresses, more trims that become available are the La Reine, Kabuki, Pharaoh, Debutante, Matron and Dandy Trims. In addition, they can have the Furfrou return to its natural look. The cost is {{Pdollar}}500 for any style. The haircut is visible at any time.

====Herboriste====
A specialty shop that sells [[herbal medicines]].

====Stone Emporium====
A specialty shop that sells [[evolutionary stones]]. A man in the store will offer to sell the player the remaining [[Mega Stone]]s for the two [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] they did not receive from [[Professor Sycamore]]. The prices of the Mega Stones begin at {{pdollar}}1,000,000, but they decrease, depending on the player's stylishness. From the initial {{pdollar}}1,000,000, the price drops to {{pdollar}}500,000, {{pdollar}}300,000, {{pdollar}}150,000, {{pdollar}}100,000, {{pdollar}}70,000, {{pdollar}}50,000, and finally {{pdollar}}10,000. Once the player buys the first Mega Stone, the man will not offer the second Mega Stone until after the player has defeated the Elite Four.

====Boutique Couture====
A designer fashion and luxury boutique. The first floor sells only women's clothing, whereas the second floor sells only men's clothing. The player is only granted access to the boutique once their stylishness reaches a certain level. The [[Clothing|clothes and accessories]] are sold here for a much higher price than those sold at the other boutiques across Kalos. A lady in the store mentions to the player that there is a special [[Discount Coupon]] that can be used at the store, which can be obtained with [[Poké Mile]]s. From January 14 to March 3, 2014, this coupon was made available to players for free on the Pokémon Global Link website. It can only be obtained and used once.

===Restaurants===
The restaurants of Lumiose City offer an interesting attraction. Each restaurant allows the player to purchase dinner and serves them various dishes to eat, however, each dish served requires a certain amount of time to settle. While settling, the employee that brought out the food will challenge the player to a Pokémon battle, telling him or her exactly how many turns the battle should take to give the dish the perfect taste. The battles occur in a row, but the player's entire party will automatically be healed between each fight. However, the player may not switch the position of Pokémon or use any item between each fight. After battling each of the employees in the restaurant, the player will receive items based on which restaurant he/she is in, how many of their Pokémon fainted during each battle, and if each battle was won in the proper number of turns. For each faint or turn difference, the player will receive one less of the reward item. If the player complete a style of battling perfectly, a ★ appears next to that style of battle at that restaurant. With all courses completed perfectly, the owner of that restaurant will start to greet the player differently like a frequent customer. In addition, as the player's style goes up, the restaurants will begin to offer a 10% discount.
The Trainers will often use turn-wasting strategies involving moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Protect}}, flinch-inducing, as well as evasion-increasing Abilities like {{a|Snow Cloak}}, complicating the player's attempts to meet a target turn requirement.

====Restaurant Le Nah====
Located in South Boulevard, this one is the cheapest to get into at {{Pdollar}}3,000, but it only offers [[Double Battle]]s. The perfect reward is 15 [[Tiny Mushroom]]s, and each battle is best completed in two turns.

====Restaurant Le Wow====
Located in Hibernal Avenue, this one costs {{Pdollar}}100,000 to get into and offers [[Double Battle|Double]], [[Triple Battle|Triple]] and [[Rotation Battle]]s. The player needs to have become the {{pkmn|Champion}} to get in. The perfect reward is 25 [[Balm Mushroom]]s. For the Double Battles, the Trainers do not use the first Pokémon listed below for each battle and each battle should be completed in two turns, except for the third one which is three turns against Garçon Morris. For the Triple Battles, each battle should be completed in three turns, except the first battle which is four turns against Owner Christophe.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lumiose City anime.png|thumb|Lumiose City in the anime]]

{{Ash}} arrived in Lumiose City with [[Alexa]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' as his first destination of the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the Gym there, but he was denied access due to not having enough Kalos badges by the [[Citroid]]. He fell several feet, then he was saved by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. This is also where Ash had his first Kalos battle using {{AP|Pikachu}} against [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] until the battle was interrupted by {{TRT}} trying to capture Pikachu. They were nearly successful until the group was saved by a {{wild|Froakie}}, who was injured in the process, needing immediate treatment. Bonnie suggested taking Froakie to Professor Sycamore's lab.

{{sectionstub}}

==Trivia==
* A woman beside Café Bataille explains that the two {{p|Skiddo}} in front of Lumiose Station were abandoned by their Trainer, and wait by the station for his return. This is a possible reference to the story of {{wp|Hachikō}}, an Akita dog who waited at the train station every day for his owner's return, even after his unexpected death. The story is a popular legend in Japanese culture.
* If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their [[bicycle]], the music does not change.
* At the Magenta Plaza [[Pokémon Center]], a young man mentions [[Team Plasma]] "making news a {{game|Black and White|s|while}} {{game|Black and White|s|back|2}} in the [[Unova]] region," while a young woman mentions [[Professor Oak]]'s {{ga|Blue|grandson}} having visited Kalos to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting [[S.S. Anne]] in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s|Generation I}} {{game|Yellow||games}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
* The four avenues are named after the Latin words pertaining to each of the four seasons: Estival (Summer), Autumnal (Autumn), Hibernal (Winter), and Vernal (Spring).
* The five plazas use the French names for their corresponding colors: Rouge (red), Bleu (blue), Vert (green), Magenta (magenta), and Jaune (yellow).
* The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart. Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanized, dating back to the 1960s.
* Similarly to Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by {{wp|List of railway stations in Paris|railroads}}.
* On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo, a {{tc|Hex Maniac}} (presumably a ghost) will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away. The purpose of this in-game event, if there is one, is not known yet.
* Behind the second TMV timetable in Lumiose Station, some words are written saying "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place."
* The shape and colors of the plazas closely resemble the logo of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in [[Generation IV]].
* Lumiose City has more [[Pokémon Center]]s than any other city, with three.

===Glitches===
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in]]
{{main|Lumiose City save glitch}}
At the time of release of {{g|X and Y}}, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.

==Origin==
Lumiose City and [[Prism Tower]] are [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|based on]] {{wp|Paris}} and the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} respectively.

'''"Looker"''' (Japanese: '''ハンサム''' ''Handsome'') is the codename for a character introduced in {{game|Platinum}} as an [[International Police]] officer on assignment investigating [[Team Galactic]] and its plans.

==In the games==
===In Platinum===
[[File:Looker.png‎|thumb|left|The {{player}} first meets Looker.]]
In {{game|Platinum}}, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not a native speaker of the {{pkmn|nation}}al language; however, this is not present in the Japanese version. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region. He is then met again at the [[Valley Windworks]], right after Team Galactic flee from the area. Disappointed in just missing them, he searches the area for clues, which leads him somehow to the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], where Team Galactic have kidnapped [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Pokémon. Looker infiltrates the building by disguising himself as a Team Galactic grunt.

The player next encounters Looker at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], if one decides to look there. If not, then he will appear after the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} battle the Galactic Grunts in front of the [[Galactic Warehouse]]. He leads the player into the warehouse and realize that the inner door is locked. He also finds {{HM|02|Fly}}, leaving the player to take it.

Looker will appear once the player goes to [[Team Galactic HQ]] and talks to the Grunt outside. He will reveal that he has the {{key|IV|Storage Key}} and will tell the player to meet him in the Galactic Warehouse. Once there, he will open the door and go down to investigate.

Inside the headquarters, he will not be seen until the player reaches the meeting room, where he is seen eavesdropping on a gathering of members of Team Galactic. He will tell the player to listen to their meeting with him. When it is over, he will leave again.

Later, he gives the player a {{DL|Flute|Black Flute}} when they are about to go off to the [[Spear Pillar]].

When [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Looker shifts his investigation towards [[Charon]], who has taken control of the team. This is because Looker stumbles upon Charon's notes of his plans back at the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. He is not seen again until after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]], when they journey to [[Stark Mountain]]. Here he is seen in the final stages of his investigation, arresting Charon and ending Team Galactic's reign of terror once and for all.

After this, he can be found in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. He mentions that he wants to spend his remaining time in Sinnoh to teach new moves to his Pokémon.

====Disguises====
Looker is shown to be quite good at disguising himself. His prime disguise is that of a Team Galactic grunt. At Stark Mountain, before he apprehends Charon, he disguises himself as a {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rock}}.

====Pokémon====
Although he does not battle with or against the player at all during the entirety of the game, it is known that he has a {{p|Croagunk}}. He uses it to get the [[Magma Stone]] from Charon at Stark Mountain. In Pokemon X and Y, it is said that his Pokémon was killed, but it is not specified whether the Pokémon in question is Croagunk or a different one.

====Quotes====
=====[[Jubilife City]] (first visit)=====
:''"WHAAAT?! ...How did you know? How did you unmask me as a member of the International Police?!"''

:''"...Heh. You claim you were only {{ga|Dawn|making}} {{ga|Lucas|conversation}}, do you? But, I know better not to believe that. No, no, no. You recognized right away that I was someone extraordinary. That is why you spoke to me, is it not? Your power of observation is fearsome! Quite admirable, you are! Now that my cover has been blown, let me introduce myself. I am a globe-trotting elite of the International Police. My name... Ah, no. I shall inform you only of my code name. My code name, it is Looker. It is what they all call me. Incidentally, is the saying, 'Don't be a thief!' familiar to you?"''
::'''No''': ''"No? You claim to not know it? How could that be? Perhaps your mama has said it, but you have forgotten it, like usual? Now listen, my friends. It is wrong to take what belongs to others."''

::'''Yes''': ''"Yes, that is correct. Taking what belongs to others is wrong."''

:''"Unfortunately, there are apparently those who do not heed those words. In [[Sinnoh]], in fact, there are [[Team Galactic|criminals]] stealing the Pokémon of others. I have, therefore, been on the lookout for characters arousing my suspicion. Incidentally, you are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, yes? Perhaps you can make use of this? That [[Vs. Recorder]], it is a nifty device for recording a match. I obtained it because it is quite popular these days. But myself, I do not do Pokémon battling very often. It will be in better hands with you. Also, I have a request. If you were to see me again, I ask that you not talk to me, for I am on duty. ...Actually, yes, yes, you may speak to me. You must. Not because I am lonely, no, no! You must inform me of bad guys! You must inform me of any happenings!"''

=====[[Jubilife City]] (second visit)=====
*If player has obtained [[Pal Pad]]
:''"Ah, yes. I see that you have obtained it, a Pal Pad for yourself. I myself, a member of the International Police, the fighters of crime around the world, have one also. For it is what one must have to trade with Trainers around the world. Take that Pal Pad to the [[Global Terminal]] for [[Trade|trading]] on an international level!"''

*If player has not obtained Pal Pad
:''"Tell me, have you not obtained a Pal Pad? Is not a Pal Pad free to anyone visiting the Pokémon Center's basement?"''

*Either way
:''" Anyway, there appears to be no one shady in this Jubilife City. I shall therefore take my investigation elsewhere. But, my friend, I suggest you remain vigilant for shady grown-ups!"''

=====[[Valley Windworks]]=====
:''"Ah, yes. It is you, yes. I have heard that the Team Galactic appeared at this power plant I have, therefore, come running. So, the Team Galactic. Where are they? ... You have run them off, you say? You are a Trainer, but...? Very well! I shall go investigate inside! Magnificent! Yes, it is! What you have said, it is all true! Superb! Though you are young, you are a Trainer through and through! Very well! I shall pursue the culprits! I have received tips that the [[Galactic Eterna Building|Team Galactic hideout]] is in [[Eterna City]]. To there, I must be off!"''

=====[[Galactic Eterna Building]]=====
:''"Hello! It is me! Me! Hahaha! I have startled you, yes? I am, after all, an officer of the International Police. It is only natural that I be a master of disguise. ...Incidentally, you are a first-rate Trainer. Of that, I am very aware. I therefore think you will be OK, but I must warn you to be careful anyway. Also, a word of advice. This building, it has two stairs. One of them, a trap it must be. But the crooks of Team Galactic, they do not appear, how shall I say, smart. There should be an easy way to tell the stairs apart!"''

=====[[Veilstone Game Corner]]=====
:''"Ah, it is you, yes. I have decide to use opportunity of being here in Sinnoh. I am therefore trying to teach moves to Pokémon that I have captured. Also, if I have nothing to do, it means the world, it is at peace. ...Ack. My streak is broken."''

=====[[Stark Mountain]]=====
:''"Go, go, go!"'''
:''"Excellent work, CROAGUNK!"''
:''"Pah! Disguising myself as a boulder for stakeout was not easy!"''
:''"Now, old-timer, the International Police cordially requests your cooperation. I am sure you have much to tell us about the new Team Galactic. With Cyrus, Mars, and Jupiter gone, you are all that is left."''
:''"You can tell us all about it. We have plenty of time. Oh, no, no. No resisting arrest. You can't win three-on-one, no? OK, officers, over here, if you will."''
:''"He is an old man. This heat cannot be good for him. Quickly, take him somewhere cool. Yes, the cooler will do!"''
:''"<Player>! And you, [[Buck|unfamiliar boy]]! I wish to say something. First, it is too hot! Let us exit this environment!"''
:''"Whew! The air outside, it is delicious, yes! ...Gweh! Gah! Geff! Bleah! I have inhaled volcanic ash by the lungful! Now, you two. This is what they were after. The Magma Stone. Moving this is said to awaken the Pokémon HEATRAN. The old tales say that its awakening, it will make Stark Mountain erupt. ...But I have moved it. It is here. Will this cause the eruption?!"''
:''"That boy, he has quite the energy, yes? <Player>, I should tell you why I have arrived here. After we parted at Mt. Coronet, I investigated their hideout. I uncovered Charon's plot, which led me to a stakeout of this place. That Charon is now securely within our custody. It is safe to say the Team Galactic is a threat no longer. That being said, it looks like my work here is finally finished."''
:''"I, also, will take my leave. 'The more wonderful the meeting, the sadder the parting.' That is a quote I heard many years ago in a foreign land. Its meaning... I understand it better now. Farewell, <player>, my friend! Long may you cherish Pokémon!"''

===In Black and White===
[[File:Looker BW.png|thumb|Looker meeting {{ga|Hilbert}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
Looker is found in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where he is assigned to capture the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]] after the events at [[N's Castle]].

He first meets the player at their home in [[Nuvema Town]], after the player defeats Team Plasma at N's Castle. He appears disguised as the player's [[mom|mother]], only to realize that he forgot to remove his disguise. He asks for the player's assistance in finding the Seven Sages, and gives the player a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}.

Looker will appear upon finding each sage to take him into custody. After apprehending the final sage, Looker tells the player that [[N]] was seen in a distant land with a {{t|dragon}} Pokémon.

====Quotes====
=====[[Nuvema Town]]=====
:''"Incredible, really. Amazing, absolutely, meeting these two Pokémon of legend!"''
:''"Oh! I still wear my disguise! Pardon! Or, rather, let me introduce myself."''
:''"I am a globe-trotting elite of the [[International Police]]. My name... Ah, no, I shall inform you of my code name only. My code name, it is Looker. It is how I am called! Behind the scenes in this region of Unova, an organization called Team Plasma conspires... This I have heard, and therefore, to this region I must come, but... Thanks to the Gym Leaders and to you, yes, Team Plasma's castle has fallen. And the members, they have gone upon their separate ways! This is what I hear, most certainly!"''
:''"But, however! However, but... The ones known as the Seven Sages--still they hide themselves in the Unova region."''
:''"And so, in the end, it explains why I must ask this of you, Trainer of amazing skill! Travel the Unova region and search it up and search it down for the Seven Sages! Alder, the Champion of renown, recommended you to my notice. Are you willing to help me?"''
::'''No''': ''"Ah, ah! Yet once more shall I ask! If you please, travel the Unova region and search it low and high for these Seven Sages!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! I thank you! Now I feel as if I have perhaps a million people on my side. Permit me to give this into your hands!"''
:''"Yes, correct! It is certainly a Super Rod!"''
:''"I see. It is truly <player>'s mama to ask so! What a magnificent question! I admire it. It is my pleasure to answer. Absolutely nothing!"''
:''"Yes, I shall provide the explanation of this, the Super Rod! First! Face the water and employ the rod! Second! Concentrate your focal point! When it occurs that these Pokémon bite, "!" will indicate. Immediately, reel in! For the rest, <player>, I depend upon you!"''

=====Across Unova=====
* Upon arresting each sage (says one of these at random)
:''"Ah... And now, about Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and there are so many things you must tell me at once!"''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must satisfy request for certain information!"''
:''"Indeed! I am an officer of the International Police, and I demand to hear all you know about Team Plasma!"''
:''"On the topic of Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, so you would be wise to share all you know."''
:''"Regarding Team Plasma... I am an officer of the International Police, and you must supply the information I request!"''

* When there are still sages remaining (says one of these at random)
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I pursue. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Accept my thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. They are thinking--upon what topics? They are hoping--upon what chances? This is of the utmost urgency! At once! On the way!"''
:''"Many thanks! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. What is it they are thinking, what it may be they are hoping, this is the information I have need of. Until we meet again!"''
:''"Thanks many times over! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. The thoughts they are contemplating, the hopes they are anticipating, these--these are what I want to know! Until our next meeting!"''
:''"Truly, I thank you! Now, Ghetsis notwithstanding, there yet remains but <number> of the Seven Sages still at large. Their innermost thoughts, their uttermost hopes... These I must and shall discover! Once more, a brief farewell!"''

* When the last sage is arrested
:''"Thank you a lot! Eh, <player>... On a topic I must speak to you. Having received such a report, of someone far from here, who has seen a person like N and...a dragon Pokémon. I am on my way to verify the veracity of this information. We will meet again one day!"''

===In X and Y===
Looker has traveled to the [[Kalos]] region on an assignment to find and arrest [[Xerosic]] but keeps his affiliation with the International Police a secret from the player, introducing himself as a detective recently located to [[Lumiose City]]. The player first meets him after receiving an invitation to come to Looker Bureau over the [[Holo Caster]], the first time they enter Lumiose City after upgrading the [[Mega Ring]]. Looker signs the player on as his assistant in his fight for justice, and the two begin taking on cases together. During their first case, he meets a homeless young girl named [[Emma]] and her Espurr named Mimi, who he decides to take under his wing. He becomes a father-figure to the girl, but because of their poor living conditions, Emma feels she is a burden to Looker and decides to look for a job to help support him. Her employer turns out to be none other than Xerosic, who has taken her under his control. Looker and the player manage to rescue her, and Looker detains Xerosic and leaves Kalos. He leaves a letter with Mimi that reveals his real position as a member of the International Police, and that he has paid for the property in full so that Emma may continue to call the bureau home, and use it however she pleases. He also transfers his codename 'Looker' to the player character (this is merely a story point and has no impact on the gameplay).

In these games, his strange style of speech is significantly scaled back. It is also strongly suggested that his Croagunk was killed during a case sometime in the past.

====Quotes====
=====[[Lumiose City]]=====
*Upon first meeting
:''"What does your heart say, <player>? Will you partner with me and fight crime?"''
::'''No:''' ''"No? <player>, my friend! This answer surprises me. It is not what I expected. I need a partner like you in order to protect the peace of this city. Reconsider, <player>. The city needs you. I need you. Will you not be my partner?"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"For your brave answer, I thank you. Lumiose City will regain its tranquility!"''
:''"Well, I wish it could be that easy. Because even though you are Champion, you're still a rookie when it comes to detective work. And that's why I must ask you to enroll in my class in detective and espionage skills: "The Looker Method: Yes, even YOU can become a detective in five easy steps!" When you're ready to learn the meaning of "hard-boiled," just come and talk to me again."''
*Accepting mission
:''"Oh, you're ready for adventure now? Allow me to explain what you will be doing. You will need to find five Looker Tickets that have been sprinkled about Lumiose City, and then bring them back to me! There's nothing more to it! Simple as can be! The Looker Tickets will be sure to catch your eye with their glitter and sparkles. I want you to succeed, so I have left some hints in my notebook about where to find the tickets! Ah ha, so then, it is time. Away with you to begin your training! I trust you'll live up to my hopes!"''
*[[Holo Caster]] call
:''"So now that you're heading off into the city, <player>, I just thought I would go over the locations of the hidden tickets once again."''
::''"1. In the Pokémon Center next to Magenta Plaza."''
::''"2. In Centrico Plaza, in the tower illuminating the city."''
::''"3. On Vernal Avenue, at a shop selling medicines."''
::''"4. On North Boulevard, 1F, in a place where people rest."''
::''"5. On North Boulevard, 1F, in a place filled with art."''
:''"That's it. If you're having trouble, return to the Looker Bureau or read this message again. I wish you luck."''
*Before finding all tickets
:''"What is it, <player>? Are you feeling a bit stuck with your training? Well, you've found <number> tickets so far. Don't give up, my friend! Dive back into Lumiose city, and find those tickets!"''
*Returning the tickets
:''"Ein, tvo, tri, fjore... Fif! Five Looker Tickets! Congratulations, <player>! You have completed your training using my patented course, "The Looker Method: Yes, even YOU can become a detective in five easy steps!" From this day onward, you are a fully fledged, completely boiled detective!"''
:'':...Ahem! With that accomplished, let me issue my request once more. <player>, be my crime-fighting partner?"''
::'''No:''' ''"Pardon? No?... Listen, <player>. This answer is not acceptable. I need a partner like you in order to fight crime and protect the peace of this city!"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"Excellent. It will be an honor for you to serve as an official member of the Looker Bureau! And... as partner to the one and only Looker! I'll send you a message on your Holo Caster whenever we have a job to do!"''
:''"... ... ... To complete my patented training course, "The Looker Method: yes, even YOU can become a detective in five easy steps!" in so little time and with such ease... <player>, you truly are a masterful [[Trainer]]. The big case on which I have been at work... It is a certainty. We will crack this case together. And, as for what is past, old friend, be patient. Justice will be served-- enough for all!"''
*First case
:(Holo Caster)
::''"<player>! It is I! Looker! I want to talk to you about something important! Could you come to the Looker Bureau, please?"''
:''"<player>, you're here! You got my message on the Holo Caster, in fact? Then I need three minutes only. It is this. We have a case to solve! I count on your help, <player>! Let us put our partnership to the test! My notes are on the desk. Take 30 seconds to read up on the case."''
:''"All read up and all ready to go? Good! The first thing I want you to do is to visit those dark alleys in Lumiose City. Find where kids are hanging out, and get the lowdown on the situation. Got it? Think you can handle it, partner?"''
::'''No:''' ''"What? <player>, no, no, no! That is not the answer I want to hear! I want you to investigate the dark alleys of Lumiose City and scope out what's happening with these kids! You've got this, right?"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"I am counting on you, <player>. There are a number of alleys here in Lumiose City. Somewhere, in one of them, you should find those kids! Yes. Yes, indeed. Hmm... My gut tells me there's something fishy about the alley leading off South Boulevard. When you've got a gut boiled as hard as mine, it's worth paying attention to! Start your investigations on South Boulevard. I'll join you when I can. Oh, wait! Here's an idea! I need three seconds... To help you on your way, I'll jot down the locations of all the alleys in my notebook! You've got this, <player>. Fear not. Off to the dark alleyways of Lumiose City!"''

* In private with Xerosic at the Looker Bureau
:''"Ahem. Let us get down to it. I would like to straighten this out before Emma returns. Dr. Xerosic, could you please confirm one small thing for me? The criminal mastermind behind all these incidents was--you yourself?"''
:''"That's how it is?"''
:''"Ahem. For a minute, let's say I believe your statements--"''
:''"I hear you. Once I have everything in order, I will ask you to accompany me to the station. An that is all I have to say to you as Looker of the International Police. What I say to you now, I say as simply Mr. Looker, young Emma's guardian..."''
:''"Would you care to stay and visit a while longer with Emma and me? She seems to have grown quite fond of you, you know. We are about to have dinner together, and she was hoping you would join us. Ahem... I would like to wait until tomorrow, after she has enjoyed a last cheerful night, before I must tell her the truth."''
:''"Dr. Xerosic..."''

* Via note by Mimi
:''"'To my dearest friends... I must have but a moment of your time. It is I, the great detective Looker. I write today because there is something I must confess to you. This is confidential! Top secret! I am not a private detective at all but an officer of the International Police! You are shocked, of course. My hard-boiled detective act was brilliantly flawless, after all. But I know you have been worrying about my long 'hospital stay' and the strange 'illness' that kept me there. The truth is--I am the very picture of health! My hospital stay was a ruse to keep you out of harm's way. My intentions were the best, but it was still a lie, for which I humbly apologize.' ''
:'' 'However, my friends, there is another reason for this letter. And so I must request of you just a minute or two more. I came to this region for an investigation. Detective Officer Looker was on the case! And, indeed... Thanks to yours truly, the case is now closed. My greatness prevailed! I cheer! And yet... It also means my time in Kalos is done. I must say good-bye to this lovely region. And, more painfully, to you, my friends. Thank you for all your assistance... And adieu. P.S. To <player>, my colleague... You have been the perfect partner. For all that you have done for me in our time together, I would like to present you with my cherished code name, 'Looker.' And for Emma and Mimi... To the two of you, I leave the Looker Bureau. I purchased the whole building, so never again will you have to worry about rent. It is yours to do with as you will.'"''

* In Lysandre Café
:''"...Fine. If you really say that you returned all the Poké Balls that Essentia stole..."''
:''"There is now minute to give you! Our train is about to depart!"''
:''"What? <player>! Wh-Why are you here?!"''
:''"I...I'm sorry, Emma... But my letter explains everything. I work for the International Police! I am a globe-trotting, crime-fighting elite! Wherever there is a case, I must go! Justice awaits!"''
:''"Emma, I wish it could be like that. You can't come. It's not possible at all."''
:''"In fact, the time has come for you to graduate from being my assistant. As of this moment, I name you the new head of the Looker Bureau!"''
:''"Listen to me, Emma. You were born and raised in this fair city. Every day of your life, you have been here. You are the only one who knows this city inside and out. No one else could do the things you can do for it! I pass my torch of brilliant detective-ing to you! Take my place, and keep protecting the peace of Lumiose City!"''
:''"Emma, please. I must ask you to respect the necessity of my decision. <player> understands perfectly why I must go. It is the way of partners. {{tt|He|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|She|If the player is a girl}} is my partner. We understand each other."''
:''"Oh, Mimi... Please don't make a sad face on my account. No matter where I go, our bonds will never change. You will be my dear friends from the Looker Bureau, always and forever."''
:''"Everyone.. I'm sorry, but... We are nearly out of time. Our train is due to depart."''
:''"I leave it in your hands, Emma! I'll rest easy, knowing you're on the case!"''
:''"Ahem... <player>! Emma! Mimi! I entrust to you three the great task of protecting the peace of Lumiose City!"''
:''"Thank you for everything! Farewell, my friends!"''

'''Looker's Journal'''
: ''"The XXth day of the XXth month. I am happy to report that [[Emma]] has learned to read and write and do basic arithmetic. I must be truthful and say that her progress is due to the diligence of her brilliant instructor. Ha ha. Emma's intelligence and keen focus on her studies have ensured her steady progress."''
: ''"The XXth day of the XXth month. Recently, I have begun to be accepted by the Pokémon Mimi. When I pet its head, it barely lashes out. When I leave for the evening to go home to my room at the hotel, it cries sadly. It remains cautious when meeting strange adults, but this is evidence to me of trauma in its past. I wonder what happened, but prying into another's secrets is not good manners, whether person or Pokémon. I simply continue my effort to deepen my bonds with Mimi."''

====[[Lysandre Labs]]====
* After Essentia's final defeat
:''"There are no more Poké Balls! You must stop fighting!! EMMA!!!"''
:''"No... Emma! What can I do?!"''
:''"E-Emma!! Are you all right?!"''
:''"What?!"''
:''"E-Emma... Are you...all right?"''
:''"Uh... Ahem. N-no... You see...I got, uh, special permission to check myself out of the...hospital... I had to make sure you were OK, Emma. I had to see you, so I found out where you worked and came to find you."''
:''"Naturally! Now, Emma, how about you go and get some dinner? I need to have a little grown-up talk with Dr. Xerosic here!"''

* In private with Xerosic
:''"That may be that...but... I think it's time you and I have a little chat, Dr. Xerosic."''

[[File:Looker anime.png|thumb|left|240px|Looker in the anime]]
Looker made his debut appearance in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Looker while taking a train leading to [[Lake Acuity]], and decided to help him distribute lunch boxes as he has bought too many of them. He decided to investigate the reason behind the signal which caused the train to stop and discovered it was the doing of [[Team Galactic]].

He appeared again in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', investigating Team Galactic's activities in [[Mt. Coronet]] while disguised as a {{tc|Galactic Grunt|grunt}} to blend in.

Looker made another appearance in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', having been captured by Team Galactic and held at the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' he arrested the Team Galactic members.

[[File:Looker BW anime.png|thumb|right|240px|Looker in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
{{n|Handsome to make a comeback in Best Wishes|Looker was set to make a comeback}} in two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] before they were indefinitely {{n|Airing of two-part Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan episode to be moved|postponed}}. The events of these episodes are not canonical.

After a long absence, Looker finally appeared again in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. He had originally disguised himself as a {{tc|Hiker}}, but revealed his true identity after saving Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} from a group of attacking Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. He explained that he had come to [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]], who were planning to take over the region. After an encounter with several Team Plasma members, including the Plasma Scientist [[Colress]], he left the group to continue his investigation.
[[File:Looker Hiker.png|thumb|left|240px|Looker disguised as a Hiker]]
Looker appered again in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', again investigating actions caused by Team Plasma. Ash and friends encountered him at a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter. When a missed {{m|Shadow Ball}} from [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} hit the machine, it was broken, freeing the controlled Pokémon.
[[File:Looker Badge.png|thumb|240px|Looker's International Police Badge]]
In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', he disguised himself as [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant and escorted Ash and his friends to the [[White Ruins]]. Later, when Team Plasma attacked in an attempt to find the Light Stone, he unmasked himself and began trying to fight the villains. He also appeared in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'' and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where he wound up getting caught along with Iris, Cilan, and Cedric Juniper, but they later freed Looker. He then managed to convince Team Rocket into joining the battle. Eventually, when {{p|Reshiram}} was freed from Team Plasma's control, Looker arrested all the Team Plasma members, effectively putting an end to the team's existance.

In the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, Looker built an alliance with {{TRT}} while trying to take down Team Galactic. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} referred to him as '''Boxed-Lunch Guy''' (Japanese: '''ランチボックスさん''' ''Mr. Lunchbox'') because he gave them boxed lunches while on the Ampharos Train. That simple act left them extremely loyal to him. In the {{series|Best Wishes!}}, this relationship was shown to have carried on, as seen in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where he managed to convince them into joining the final battle against Team Plasma.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Looker Adventures.png|thumb|150px|right|Looker in Pokémon Adventures]]

In Pokémon Adventures, Looker investigates several of the activities caused by various villainous groups. To help him with his investigations, Looker uses many gadgets known as the "International Police Arms". However, many of these gadgets have a tendency to break apart at Looker's expense.

Looker first appears in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} where he interrogates the two scientists hired by [[Team Galactic]] to guard [[Lake Valor]]. Due to them not knowing anything about Team Galactic, the interrogation went nowhere. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Looker makes his appearance looking for his client. He eventually meets up with his client, {{adv|Platinum|Platinum Berlitz}}, and joins her in her quest to research information on the [[Distortion World]] so that she can rescue her bodyguards. [[Paka and Uji]].

Looker joins Platinum as she goes through the various Battle Facilities and usually helps her when she is having trouble in them. In the Battle Castle, he helps Platinum with her money-managing troubles, which helps her defeat {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}}. While Platinum goes through the Battle Arcade, Looker goes to help their ally [[Buck]] fight [[Team Galactic]] on [[Stark Mountain]]. When he arrives, he finds out that [[Charon]] had obtained the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Heatran}}, and has been using it to attack Buck. Worried about Looker's safety, Platinum sends her Pokémon to go and help them while she goes through the Battle Factory. They eventually return with Looker and Buck, who were seriously injured and later hospitalized.

After {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum defeat Charon, a fully recovered Looker appears and arrests Charon. He goes to chase after the other Team Galactic commanders until his superior contacts him and tells him to call the mission off. He is ordered to head to [[Unova]] and investigate the activities of the [[Seven Sages]]. Looker leaves immediately but quickly comes back to give Diamond a {{p|Manaphy|Pokémon Egg}} he received from some {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s in [[Fiore]].

In the {{chap|Black & White}}, Looker appears as a participant in the Unova Pokémon League. Disguised as a man named Handa Samurō (Japanese: '''ハンダサムロウ'''), he battles until he eventually makes it to the top 8. During the quarterfinal match, Looker faces {{adv|Black}} as his opponent. Due to his {{p|Croagunk}} not being a native Unova Pokémon, he has the advantage due to Black not being able to figure out his opponent's type. Eventually, Black manages to figure out Croagunk's type and defeats it. Having been defeated, Looker disappears and goes into hiding.

After taking off his disguise, Looker reveals that he has entered the League to investigate the suspicious participants, as he believes that one of them may be a member of [[Team Plasma]]. When Gray reveals himself to be [[Zinzolin]] of Team Plasma, Looker immediately takes the chance to tie him up and capture him. Later, Looker assists Black in the final battle against [[N]] alongside [[Cedric Juniper]] and [[Petashi]], who climbed into his hot-air balloon.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Looker has spent the past two years looking for the members of the now-defeated Team Plasma. Upon returning to Unova after failing to find the Seven Sages in other regions, he is tasked with meeting up with [[Lack-Two]], another International Police member. He finds Lack-Two at [[Aspertia City]], only to be attacked by a {{p|Scolipede}} immediately after exchanging their secret password. Lack-Two easily defeats the Scolipede and rescues Looker. Much to Looker's shock, Lack-Two reveals himself to be Looker's superior despite the age gap between them.

Lack-Two and Looker head to the Aspertia alleyways where they encounter Lack-Two's maintenance man, the Magician. After having himself checked up, Lack-Two takes Looker to a training area and has him do some tests. Although they manage to succeed in the first one, Looker and Croagunk completely fail the second test. Lack-Two berates the two and tells them to get better at handling harsh conditions. Before they can continue, an explosion rings outside. When they go out to investigate, they find out that the culprit is a {{p|Genesect}}.

Eventually, Croagunk was defeated by Tula's {{m|Electroweb}}.

Croagunk's known moves are {{m|Vacuum Wave}} and {{m|Venoshock}}.}}

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[File:Looker DPA.png|thumb|90px|Looker in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga, he and [[Koya]] are on the trail looking for [[Hareta]]'s father, [[Kaisei]]. Like in the games, he is also working for the [[International Police]]. His name in early chapters is ''Hansom'', but he is later identified as Looker.

In the chapter Looker debuted in, he is able to identify Galactic grunts in the crowd before they launched a terrorist attack on the stadium; once the Galactic incident is taken care of, he tries to take Kaisei into custody. Later, he along with several other agents of the International Police have arrived in [[Stark Mountain]] and disguise themselves as rocks in order to capture [[Team Galactic]]. However, the villainous team escapes when an earthquake in Stark Mountain distracted Looker and the others. He stays behind to save Koya. After calming {{p|Heatran}} down by placing the [[Magma Stone]] back to where it belongs, Looker wonders if any members remained during the cave-in, in which Koya responds with no.

Looker then arrives in [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic's headquarters]] in order to continue his search for Team Galactic and has Koya block the entrance in order to prevent anyone from going inside. However, he informs Koya that Charon was too powerful and his whole squad was defeated. Looker defends Koya when he was about to get hit by {{p|Onix}}. After witnessing Charon's strength, Looker tells Koya to retreat the area. Despite that, Koya decides to stop Charon for good in which Looker accepts. Much later, Looker arrived on Stark Mountain after the battle with the [[Creation trio]], awaiting for Charon's arrival in order to arrest him. Following Charon's arrest, Looker notifies him that Team Galactic was disbanded on behalf of Cyrus's orders.

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
[[File:Looker PMDP.png|thumb|left|110px|Looker in Pocket Monsters DP]]

Looker has also appeared in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga. He debuted in [[PMDP38]] where he ran out of the police car after arrival in order to investigate something. Looker was then disturbed by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s antics but after he went up to {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and the gang, they ran off. Looker was right behind them and after he caught up, the group once again zoomed away. Tired of Looker's presence, Clefairy built a fake wall out of paper to hide in but it ripped off rather quickly. The group then swam to the other side to avoid Looker but he too did the same. Following the chase, Looker tries to search for them and finds some footprints leading to a house. He knocks on the door and the door opens by itself. Clefairy runs out in an ice cream costume and he, Red, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}, and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} get away in a car. Despite that, Looker was able to catch them and informs them that he had something to give and show them all this time.

Looker returned in [[PMDP51]] where he was at the beach with Red and his Pokémon. He noticed that Clefairy looked darker than before and then all of the other Pokémon start to mimic him, clothes-wise. This caused Looker to chase Clefairy and Clefairy chasing the Pokémon who copied Looker. In [[PMDP54]], he goes on a solo mission with Clefairy joining him when [[Team Galactic]] steal a kid's food truck. After spotting the thieves, Looker and Clefairy give chase. When Clefairy putted on his ninja costume temporarily, Looker fell to the floor in amusement. As the truck arrives at the garage which was their stop, Looker was unable to get inside the garage but after seeing the two grunts running off with the food but Clefairy stopped them with his own supplies after tripping on a rock.

In [[PMDP59]], he is on the lookout for Team Galactic and met up with Red and his Pokémon at a casino. Unfortunately, after finding their hiding place, the alarms go off and Looker and Clefairy go to the location. [[Charon]] makes a break for it and Looker is right behind him. Both of them head for Team Galactic's helicopter and climbs the ladder. While on the ladder, they notice Clefairy taking some loot. The helicopter then disappears into the distance.

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} to hold. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[Creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Giratina Dimension Transfer Power.png|250px|thumb|left|Giratina creating a portal to the [[Reverse World]] in the anime]]
Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. A thick black stripe runs vertically along the front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can chance shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed. In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. It can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the [[Reverse World]], or when holding a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}.

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Reverse World. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal. It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for violence, possibly by {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

==In the anime==

Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

* Giratina has many differences from the other members of [[creation trio|its trio]]:
** It is the only member with [[form differences]].
** Its HP is its highest stat rather than Special Attack.
** It does not have a [[type-enhancing item]] in Diamond and Pearl (the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} is introduced in Platinum).
** It is met at level 70 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} while the other members are met at level 47. This is reversed in {{v2|Platinum}}.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member with a catch rate of 3, and the only one without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the [[Mystery Dungeon]] series.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
** It is also the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its types, as well as the only {{type|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon (not including {{p|Arceus}} when holding the {{DL|Plate|Spooky Plate}} or the currently officially unrevealed Pokemon Hoopa).
* Giratina has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Giratina has the highest HP base stat of all legendary Pokémon.
* Giratina has the highest HP base stat of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Giratina is tied with {{p|Drifblim}} for the highest HP base stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* In Platinum, Giratina is the only Pokémon to come out from above the screen during the start of the battle. Also, it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a Poké Ball.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}; this is also stated in HeartGold and SoulSilver by [[Cynthia]].
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that appears last in a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
* It is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught in all five of the Generation IV main series handheld games.
* Giratina's Altered Forme received a different second frame sprite in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, but the static sprite remained the same.
** Interestingly, the sprite appears in Platinum's data, but is unused.
* When encountered in Platinum, the game reads "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared", but it is still a wild Pokémon. It is the only Pokémon to do this.

===Origin===
Giratina may be based Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairytale, {{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}, which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain. Giratina is also possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. However this Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphitere}}, a European dragon-like creature with wings but no legs.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be a combination of ''{{wp|girasol}}'' (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), ''girare'' (Italian for ''to wander around''), or ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', and ''{{wp|platinum}}'' プラチナ.
