Meltonkyle: /* Experience Gains in HGSS */ new section

Every Gym leader you can re-match has been linked to this page (every gym leader except Wallace (Hoenn) and Ginovachni (Kanto) can be re-matched. Now then, lets get on with the Elite 4 and the Rivals... [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 19:31, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
:Elite 4 done. [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 19:53, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

== first ==

Wasn't this in the games as early as Red and Green? After you defeated the E4 you could battle them again and again. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 15:55, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
:That is good point. Lets add it! Something like:

===Elite 4 and Champ===

In all games so far (and probably in the future, soon to be confermed) the elite 4 and champ have been battleable again and again. Sometimes, after a Checkpoint in the game, they gat higher leveled pokémon.

== Gym Leader phone numbers ==

The prerequisites listed for getting HGSS Gym Leaders' phone numbers aren't entirely correct; both Sabrina's number and Janine's number can be obtained before getting all 16 badges. The [[Pokégear]] page also says that Erika's number can be obtained before defeating Blue, but my experience seems to suggest otherwise. I'd correct this page, but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. --[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 15:13, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

:Oops, I missed out that detail when doing the table :P I actually copied from the Pokégear table but just changed the format so it looked more presentable. Anyway, the table is slightly changed to reflect that detail now. If there isn't a need for 16 badges to obtain Erika's number, feel free to change it, though i did cross-reference the [[Appendix:HeartGold_and_SoulSilver_walkthrough/Kanto_Gym_Leader_rematches|Appendix]]. :) ---> '''[[User:AquaDragon|{{color|6890F0|Aqua}}]][[User_talk:AquaDragon|{{color|7038F8|Dragon}}]]''' 02:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== Error with one of the screenshots ==

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/2/2e/Trainercafe.png/230px-Trainercafe.png

This isn't how it really looks in Platinum. The trainers are supposed to be more darker in the buidling, where in this screenshot they appear to be who they are in the overworld during the day. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 00:51, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

:This picture was taken from the article [[Battleground]]. I'd replace the image with a better one if i could. Anyways it looks like it was taken from [http://www.serebii.net/platinum/toptrainercafe.shtml seribii]. ---> '''[[User:AquaDragon|{{color|6890F0|Aqua}}]][[User_talk:AquaDragon|{{color|7038F8|Dragon}}]]''' 03:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

== Gen V ==

So, still haven't heard anything on Black and White. Back to only Elite 4 + champ again, or what? [[User:PLA|PLA]] 18:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:There are many daily battles in Raimon city, Black City, [[Royal Unova]], plus [[Morimoto]], Cynthia, Bianca/Cheren and White Forest.----'''''無限の知性''''' ◎ [[User:Dennou Zenshi|ＤＥＮＮＯＵ]]'''[[Special:Random|◆]]'''[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|ＺＥＮＳＨＩ]] 18:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Pokégear rematches in HGSS? ==

It's already noted that you in HGSS you can call registered Gym Leaders for a rematch at certain times of days, but does something similar apply to normal Trainers registered in your Pokegear? For example, it seems that every time I call School Kid Billy on a Friday afternoon/night he asks for a rematch rather than dropping the usual hints about where to find Gym Leaders. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 14:41, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Rematching Legendaries ==

The article says that you can only rematch Legendaries after defeating them from Platinum onwards. However, I ran away from Uxie and Azelf in Diamond when I was playing through it so I could see them in my Pokedex without actually catching them. They were gone from their caves afterwards (and I re-entered their caves multiple times and they were still gone), but when I defeated the Elite Four, they reappeared. Keep in mind this is from Diamond onwards. Did anyone else have this happen so I can add it to the article? [[User:Porygon-man|Porygon-man]] 15:20, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== Experience Gains in HGSS ==

I just compiled a table of the experience gains from rematching the various gym leaders in HGSS (it has exp per pokemon as well as exp per person) should I post this somewhere? and if so, where and how?

'''Wailord''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホエルオー''' ''Whaloh'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wailord are mammalian Pokémon that are well known as the [[List of Pokémon by height|largest Pokémon]] discovered so far. They have small beady eyes, a huge mouth, a throat that is lined with grooves and four white spots aligned on its back. It has two pairs of fins along its side and a horizontal tail at the back. It's vaguely shaped like a torpedo or a blimp.

Despite its enormous size, [[HSOWA|it is able to breed with many land-based Pokémon that are much smaller]]. This is due to it being in the {{egg3|Field}}, a reference to how whales are classified as mammals.

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

====Special abilities====
Wailord are able to take in large amounts of air and dive to incredible depths with just one massive breath. Since it is based on a whale and has a blowhole, it is one of the few Pokémon that are able to use {{m|Water Spout}}. With their large mouths, they are able to eat extreme quantities of food.

===Behavior===
Wailord are known to live in large packs, called pods, for traveling as well as finding prey. When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
The only habitat that's expansive enough for these gigantic Pokémon is the open ocean.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Despite being so large, they probably feed on some of the smallest creatures in the ocean, swallowing entire schools in a single gulp.

==In the anime==
Wailord first appeared in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]''. The Float Whale Pokémon was stuck on a beach near a [[Pokémon Center]]. [[Team Rocket]] tried to haul it away, but a {{p|Combusken}} foiled their plans.
[[File:Robin Wailord.png|210px|right|thumb|Wailord in the anime]]
A Wailmer that befriended a man named [[Robin]] evolved into a Wailord in ''[[AG124|Island Time]]''. This Wailord transported {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for [[Ever Grande City]].

Along with their pre-evolved form, Wailord appeared in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', a family of Wailord appeared. One Wailmer was separated from its family, and {{Ash}} helped it get back. By the end of the episode, this Wailmer evolved into a Wailord.

A Wailord appeared at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG034|Wailord|Ash's Pokédex|Wailord, the Float Whale Pokémon. Wailord is the largest Pokémon yet discovered. When diving out of the water in pursuit of its prey, it makes quite an impressive sight.}}
{{Animedexbody|AG124|Wailord|Ash's Pokédex|Wailord, the Float Whale Pokémon. Wailord is the largest Pokémon yet to be discovered. It is jump high into the air, creating gigantic pillars of water.}}

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{Adventures|Sapphire}} has a Wailord nicknamed Walo. He is kept at sea so that she and [[Professor Birch|her father]] can use him for sea travel. However, later she returns him to his Poké Ball and carries him as part of her party.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: A Wailord is seen in the [[Sea of Wailord]] that was trapped by [[Team Dim Sun]]. The player must free it by deactivating the traps. Later on in the game, it is seen attacking [[Kincaid]]'s submarine. After the {{player}} captures {{p|Darkrai}} for the fist time, and then goes to [[Haruba Desert]]'s dock, Wailord will ferry the player to the [[Capture Arena]].

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
* Wailord is the tallest Pokémon in existence, but only the tenth heaviest.
** Wailord is the only Pokémon which was the tallest in the generation of its debut that was not outdone in the following generation (as happened to {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix}}).
** Despite the fact that real-life fully grown blue whales weigh nearly 180 {{wp|tonne}}s, Wailord does not even weigh more than a half tonne, less than one sixth the weight of a real blue whale's tongue.
* A Wailord, along with a {{p|Relicanth}}, is necessary in the party in order to unleash the three [[legendary golems]] from their sleeping places within the [[Sealed Chamber]] in the [[Generation III]] games.
**This should mean that Wailord have existed for a long time, since the legendary golems have been sealed away a long time ago, and Relicanth lived a long time ago.
* Wailord is well-known for the [[HSOWA]] joke.
* Wailord has the highest HP of all {{type2|water}} Pokémon. With that, Wailord has the second highest single base stat out of all the Water-type Pokémon, after {{p|Cloyster}}'s Defense.
* In the games [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Wailord was resized to fit in the battlefield. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] however, its size matches its Pokédex entry.
* Wailord is the only Pokémon in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} that doesn't need to be captured to be added to the [[Browser]].
** Additionally, its Browser entry states that it is too big to capture.
* As of [[Generation V]], Wailord and {{p|Wailmer|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Field}} and {{egg|Water 2}}) are unique.

===Origin===
This Pokémon is based on the {{wp|blue whale}}, the largest known animal to ever exist. It also resembles a submarine, a blimp, and a torpedo.

====Name origin====
Wailord's name is a combination of ''whale'', ''wail'' and ''lord''. ''Wail'' may also refer to the sounds or songs that whales and this Pokémon might make.

''Whaloh'' is a combination of ''whale'', 吠える ''hoeru'', to wail, and 王 ''ō'', king.

'''Rhydon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイドン''' ''Sidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhyhorn}} starting at [[level]] 42, and evolves into {{p|Rhyperior}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Protector}}.

Rhydon holds the distinction of being the first [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] ever created.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhydon is a large, gray, bipedal Pokémon with amalgam features of dinosaurs and rhinoceroses. Rhydon’s most famous feature is the cream-colored, drill-like horn on its snout, although there are other protrusions on the head as well. These include the front-pointing crest extending from the middle of its head, two triangular, ear-like features to the sides of the crest, a wavy-shaped, also ear-like extension further down its head, and the spiky ridges on the sides of its mouth. It has a long tail with skinny, black stripes. Rhydon has a cream-colored stomach and a ridged back.

====Gender differences====
The female's drill-horn is smaller than the male's.

===Special abilities===
[[File:EP204.png|thumb|Rhydon surfing]]
Rhydon's drill-horn is capable of crushing uncut diamonds, and it can knock down a building with one strike of its tail. Rhydon's rocky hide is strong enough to withstand direct cannonball fire, and serves as such effective protection that it makes Rhydon capable of living in molten lava. However, its rugged hide also makes it insensitive. Despite its typing, Rhydon are able to be taught Water-type moves such as {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Aqua Tail}}, with some Rhydon capable of {{m|surf}}ing in the water.

===Behavior===
Rhydon is apparently much smarter than its {{p|Rhyhorn|pre-evolution}}, evidenced by its ability to stand on its hind-legs. Despite this, it is still very forgetful.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Rhydon are mainly found in cavernous areas, although its rugged hide also enables it to live in lava. One is likely to encounter a wild one in [[Kanto]] or [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
Rhydon will eat nearly anything, but when they have the option they like raw and cooked kitten or puppy.

==In the anime==
[[File:Giovanni Rhydon.png|thumb|right|200px|Rhydon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Rhydon's first major role was in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', being one of [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon. Blaine used a Rhydon against {{Ash}} during the first battle for Ash's {{Badge|Volcano}}. While normally tough against electric attacks, Rhydon was defeated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] struck Rhydon's horn, which acted like a lightning rod.

''[[EP204|Right on, Rhydon]]'' featured a Rhydon that knew {{m|Surf}}. It was eventually caught by [[Pietra]].

In ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', the [[head engineer]] owned a Rhydon.

===Minor appearances===
A mechanical Rhydon appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' as a part of [[Pokémon Land]].

Rhydon's true debut episode was ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', under the ownership of one of the trainers at [[Kas Gym]].

{{an|Giovanni}} owns a Rhydon that he loaned to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.

A trainer named [[Assunta]] used one to battle [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

A Rhydon belonging to [[Rudy]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

[[Giant Pokémon|Giant]] Rhydon were seen on [[Fairchild Island]] in ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]''.

Rhydon also made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as one of {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}'s Pokémon.

{{an|Brock}}'s dad, {{ka|Flint}}, has a Rhydon, but was just mentioned. Flint mostly used his Rhydon for helping him decorate the [[Pewter Gym]]'s battlefield with rocks from mountaintops.

[[Nurse Joy]] had a Rhydon to help look for {{p|Kabuto}} fossils.

[[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Ash's Infernape|Paul's Chimchar]] battled against a Rhydon and a {{p|Magmar}} in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Koga Rhydon Adventures.png|thumb|right|Rhydon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Rhydon debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in its own round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', as [[Koga]]'s Pokémon that is forced to evolve by its trainer with a mysterious injection, being the first evolution shown in the manga due to Red's [[Poli|Poliwhirl]] and [[Blue's Charmeleon]] evolving off-screen at the time.

Rhydon is later seen as one of {{adv|Giovanni}}'s Pokémon, but is not seen battling.

In {{PAV|9}}, {{adv|Blue}} captures a Rhydon outside the [[Viridian Gym]]. He uses it to defeat [[Chuck]] in {{PAV|13}}, as well as [[Orm]] in {{PAV|23}}. Near the end of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue remarks on a footnote Giovanni included in his handbook: Rhydon possibly possessed a stronger form. This is a reference to Rhydon's new evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}, an evolution that succeeded in occurring thanks to {{adv|Silver}}'s knowledge of Pokémon trading, resulting in the same Rhydon, as Rhyperior, on hand with him.

Earlier in the same volume, {{adv|Gold}} encounters a wild Rhydon during his race with [[Whitney]]. The Rhydon in question was hunting down a {{p|Sudowoodo}} hiding from it, and kidnapped Whitney when she interfered with her {{p|Miltank}}, breaking her arm in the process. Gold tells Sudowoodo to stand up for itself and, with assistance from his billiard cue, helps Sudowoodo defeat the Rhydon with a strong punch to the gut. The Sudowoodo happily joined his team afterwards.

==Trivia==
[[File:Early Rhydon.jpg|thumb|right|[[Capsule Monsters|Early sketches]] of Rhydon]]
* According to interviews with Ken Sugimori, Rhydon holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon ever created. This is further supported as its [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|index number]] is 001 in [[Generation I]], as well as early sketches from [[Capsule Monsters]] featuring Rhydon.
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] fought [[Blaine]]'s Rhydon in the [[Anime physics|anime and defeated it]], despite it being a {{type2|Ground}} immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks. Rhydon's horn also serves as a {{a|Lightningrod|lightning rod}} which negates electric attacks as of the rules for the Pokémon effect. Since then, that battle has been brought up frequently in comparisons between the games and anime and has spawned the popular Pokémon Internet meme, "Pikachu! Aim for the horn!"
* Since Rhydon's [[index number]] is 001 [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|in Generation I]], a [[glitch Pokémon]] with an index number of 000 or that is greater than 152 will [[Rhydon glitch|revert back to Rhydon]] when its Pokédex entry is viewed.
* Rhydon and {{p|Rhyperior}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
* Rhydon and its evolutionary relatives are the only Rock/Ground Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type instead of their primary.
* Rhydon and its pre-evolution's Chinese name state it as being "Steel-Covered." However, neither are Steel-type nor learn any Steel-type moves by level up.
* Rhydon has the highest base Attack stat of any Pokémon that is not fully evolved.
** However, before [[Generation IV]] introduced {{p|Rhyperior}}, Rhydon was fully evolved.

===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}} and some aspects of various dinosaurs, such as the {{wp|triceratops}}.

====Name origin====
Rhydon may be a reference to {{wp|rhinoceros}}. The "rhy" part of Rhydon's name may also allude to the {{wp|igneous rock}} known as ''{{wp|rhyolite}}'', hence its Ground/Rock typing. The ''don'' may have been intended to mean "lord." However, it is also used as a suffix, meaning "tooth", in various {{wp|dinosaur}} names, so it could be a reference to those prehistoric creatures as well.

Sidon is a combination of 犀 ''sai'', rhinoceros, and the aforementioned ''don''.
