'''Cheryl''' (Japanese: '''モミ''' ''Momi'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Sinnoh]].

==In the games==
She is one of [[Stat Trainers|five Trainers]] who can join with the main character during an event in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl,]] and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]]. Later, she can join the player in competition at Sinnoh's {{Si|Battle Tower}}. She first appears in [[Eterna Forest]]. She asks the player to join her because she's afraid she might run into [[Team Galactic]]. Her Chansey is good at using restoration techniques like {{m|Refresh}} and {{m|Softboiled}}, but isn't good at offense.

==Trivia==
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Cheryl is the only double battle partner the player must team up with to advance through the game. She is also the set default. This means that if ever a player uses a walk-through-walls cheat to go through the places where the other [[stat Trainers]] should be for the first time, Cheryl will be there as the partner.
*Sometimes, the first person in Eterna Forest, will "walk through" Cheryl. If the player turns around and talks to her, Cheryl will respond.

Talk:Pokémon Dollar

2009-10-11T22:50:34Z

Moonlight umbreon:

Zenny? that's from MegaMan Battle Network! Who came up with that? [[User:Coppro|Coppro]] 14:32, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Zenny is actually a currency used in most RPGs. [[user:Mkt_ranma|Mkt_ranma]]

I thought it was obvious from the Japanese version of the games (except for Colo) that the currency was yen. --[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

That is true. Should have mentioned it. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 22:59, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hehe, I've always called them '''Credits''', I never liked "Dollars" or "Yen" because Pokémon is not in our world. I'm sure I'm not the only ones who refers to them as credits. Has anyone else? - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 16:52, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Seeing as the symbol isn't a real currency (at least I don't think so), I don't think they should be called by 'dollars', 'yen' or any other real world currency, 'credits' doesn't sound right either, however it's better than calling them 'dollars' or 'yen' (or 'PokéDollars' or 'PokéYen') - [[User:MTC|MTC]] 18:54, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Credits is just a catch all, generally sci-fi term for universal currency, I always thought it was perfect and still do. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 19:20, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Moonlight Umbreon:Credits are Star Wars money!Who thinked that?

Since in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Nintendo revealed the currency's name as '''Pokémon Dollars''', I'm gonna move this page to that entry. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 04:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

What does the Japanese version of Colosseum say where "Pokémon Dollars" is in the English version? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 03:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

didnt they call them poké in pokemon channel? [[user:kittenchild|kittenchild]]
:Yes [[User:Cal05000|Cal05000]] 19:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that it says 円 (yen), because the currency in Japanese versions of main games was yen. Unless the currency in Orre is different, though I doubt it. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:31, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
:Well, in the Japanese version of XD, it seems that they use [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]] like in the English and other versions, and not the yen sign... [[a:Image:XD PDA open.jpg|Check it out.]] It also says ポケドル, which translates as Pokédollar... '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Then, Orre has different currency (at least in Japanese version). Hell! I hate when Japanese producers are "borrowing" several things from English versions! I hate it! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
:Could mean Orre after all is... In America. But I still like to think it is around Hiroshima. This is disturbing information. However, Orre was not created by our friends from Game Freak, so who knows? ... ... ... Oh yeah, I know I'm responding to a comment that's almost a year old. [[slowpoke (Pokémon)|Yeah]]. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 05:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== PD to USD exchange rate ==

I quickly figured out the exchange rate between the Pokédollar and the US Dollar. A can of soda pop costs 300 PD. In America, the average price for a can of soda off of a vending machine is $0.60 USD. Therefore, 500 PD = $1 USD.

See for yourself: I found a vending machine that sold soda at 60¢ here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23475878@N07/2565805623/sizes/l/

Why won't Kogoro accept it? The fact is there, plain as day. --[[User:Elohssa Naer'uoy|Elohssa Naer'uoy]] 04:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:Didn't I already tell you on your talk page? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
::Not everybody will find it as easily as the Pokédollar page. This is relevant to the article, whereas it's less relevant from my talk page. I'd like for more people to discuss this, so I also put it here. --[[User:Elohssa Naer'uoy|Elohssa Naer'uoy]] 04:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

:::The reason us sysops don't find your so-called "exchange rate" notable is because all possible exchange rates between in-game currency and real-world currency are speculation, which is highly frowned upon here. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

:A few more notes; for one, I'm on the east coast here, and most vending machines sell soda for different prices, generally above $0.60, which messes up your calculations already. Two, Pokémon is a game created in Japan, so most pricings would need to be based off the Japanese price for soda pop, which I can tell you right now also probably fluctuates based on where it's sold and what sort of soda pop it is. And thirdly, on the note of Japan, Pokémon Dollars are most likely based directly off of Yen, point-for-point. The reason this isn't mentioned in the article is as Shining mentioned; it's merely speculation, not fact, and as such, has no place in an encyclopedic article. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 04:25, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
::Just like here in Illinois, cans of soda are $1, while bottles are going up to $1.25 and $1.50. And it isn't just the area of the states you live in, the price for soda is different in almost every town or city. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 00:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

==Spanish==
The official spanish name is '''Pokécuarto'''. This name comes from the name of and old spanish currency called '''Cuarto'''. You can see more info in [http://poketeca.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9cuarto Pokéteca].--[[User:Habieru|Habieru]] 14:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking about adding it to this article because it has some useful information ([http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Jade including the hacks themselves], as well as information about the series in general), but I'm not going to add it without it being okay with other people because I don't want to look like a spammer.

We really should put up a warning about the legal issues of hacks, if for no reason other than to protect ourselves from being sued --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 04:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

:I really don't see any legal issues, aside from the hack carts themselves. Nintendo really doesn't give a damn about hacks or things like that, as long as they're not sold. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 04:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
::...and most hackers go out of their way to prevent their hacks from being sold. The people who sell them are pirates.--[[User:Goukazaru|Nostalgia]] 04:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

== hack pages ==

:We all make mistakes (; Don't worry about it [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 22:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:It's mainly due to the fact that these games are hacked from ROMs. ROMs are illegal (that whole 24-hour thing is bull****), cartridges containing these hacks are illegal, and we can't have full articles on games that can only be obtained by illegal means.

:Besides, buying hacks on cartridges can provide inconsistent results and their boxes don't always accurately reflect its content. Hacks may have gamebreaking glitches that can render the game incompletable; the Diamond/Jade pair have several such glitches. Additionally, boxes containing the Quartz hack have an E for Everyone rating pasted onto it, yet that hack's content would lend more to an M for Mature for strong language, use of alcohol, and mature sexual themes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

What about cheating, Mew, Celebi etc...--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:Cheating devices are OK to have articles on since, although they're frowned upon, legal copies of the game can be used with them. Additionally, [[Nintendo]] actually lost a lawsuit over the Game Genie, meaning there's nothing outright illegal about their usage.

:These hacks, on the other hand, require an illegal copy of the game to make, play, and distribute. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

woah!!! ALL that? and there are people who dont know its a hack, buy it and get arrested? seems unfair.[[User:Whatswithalltheextraspace|Whatswithalltheextraspace]] 22:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:Law enforcement targets only those that make illegal ROMs and sell illegal games. I highly doubt you'd get arrested for playing Quartz. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

oh.[[User:Whatswithalltheextraspace|Whatswithalltheextraspace]] 23:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

What if someone made a hack game, but gave it out for free? :\ Would that still be illegal? Just wondering [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛
:I don't know about physical copies of it, but most people make ROM Hacks to be played on an emulator, and let people download them. Same with fangames, only minus the emulator.

== THREE games called "Pokémon Jade"? ==
When searching for "pokemon jade" on YouTube, I found that there were not one, not two, but THREE different bootleg games called "Pokémon Jade." The most notable one, and the one that everybody talks about, is an Engrish hack of [http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Speed Version], and had a counterpart, "Pokémon Diamond" (not to be confused with the one for the DS, but rather a hack of Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Power Version) -- though this is already mentioned in the article anyway. However, I found two other games with the same name. One of them, found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lyGkQ7JIKg here], is a combination of other fake games -- Pokémon Adventure being one of them, but there were a few other games that this fake is based off of. There was also a video on YouTube a while ago (which is unfortunately gone now) showing a Pokémon Jade for Game Boy ADVANCE -- not Color, but Advance. The video didn't show any footage of the game, just the cartridge and box, but if I remember correctly, the cartridge had the deer thing (Shishigami?) that was also on the cartridge for the Pokémon Jade that was based off Telefang Speed. Anybody know more information about these games? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 03:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
There is also another jade version in development-Rabla 20:58, 11 October 2008 (AEST)

== To do ==

*Explanation of the legal issues related to ROM hacking and playing ROM hacks. (In theory it can be legal, in practice it almost never is.) Elaboration on patching versus actual ROMs being released.
*Distinction between bootlegs and fan-made hacks. Remove redundancy relating to "oh yeah zel put in an anti-bootleg screen" and "chaos black is known for being bootlegged".
*Some guideline for notability of hacks. There's a new hack announced every other day at Pokecommunity, but how many actually get finished? Next to none. Diamond/Jade are notable. Chaos Black is notable. Prism and Shiny Gold are notable. Moemon? Debatably notable (I had never heard of it, although apparently it made it onto Kotaku). But unless Bulbapedia starts having individual pages on specific hacks, it shouldn't be considered an index of them.
*Page should probably be moved to ROM hacks, as this by far is the more widely used (and more precise) name.

:Not notable. There's such a glut of Pokemon hacks out there that there'd be no point in describing it.

==Exact Bootlegs==

I was wondering if we should add a section about the fact that some people take the actual games and not remakes or revisions and bootleg them onto GBA cartridges and sell them over ebay, and amazon under the sold by users section. It happened to me on amazon and I have read other accounts of it happening to other people. One of the common things that happens with these bootlegs is there is compatibility issues when trying to use dongle method or the pal park, as well as the emerald save data being erased when Diamond or Pearl is loaded. Here is another account besides my own to whom it has happened link: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4860767] Pazusalmon

== Green Translation: Notable? ==

I say no. There's no real reason for a mention of a translation of Green to be on here, as Green pretty much is the exact same thing as Blue in the US. Anyone have any reason they want to keep it before I delete it? [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 04:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:Multiple Green translations exist, most of low quality. Nothing really individualizes them. They’re no more notable than the Gold translations that came out before the games were released in the US, really. Taking it out now. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 05:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I.HAVE.NEVER.HEARD.ABOUT.SUCH.THING.IN.MY.LIFE! And I'm VERY up-to-date with hacks. I've never seen such hack, neither as a ROM or as an illegal catridge. Does it even exist outside of that movie (not to mention that the movie does not show the hack itself, it presents the Pokemon from that)? I bet 100 smackers that it's unnotable. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
:And because you've heard of it, it becomes notable? We haven't got videos on any other hacks either, does that make them unnotable? And if it doesn't exist outside of the video, I'd hate to think what people have been downloading into their computers from sites such as [http://www.moemondownload.co.nr/ these] [http://file2upload.net/download/24552/Moemon_English_patched.zip.html two].

Yes, i know. I understand portuguese, so i can translate those images.

== Liquid Crystal ==

I realize there's a lot of hack games, but it's an ongoing project and has won the 2008 award for Hacking. It's a hack of FireRed that is based on Crystal, but incorporates new rivals and trainers and apparently will have the Orange Islands once the hack is finished. I'm wonder if it should be noted here maybe? http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=149622/. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 01:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't Bulbapedia have an article on fangames that are NOT ROM Hacks, but instead have been made in a program such as RPG Maker XP. I know there are a lot of those too, just look over at Pokecommunity. [[User:Sixthhokage1|The Sixth]] 00:27, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== The Implication of Dark ==

I added a little quip in the Characteristics section about other features of the Dark-type, specifically how many of the moves are associated with deception and stealing, earning it the title "Dark." I'm pretty sure Dark is not a reference to Night, even though Eevee involves into Umbreon at night, but I think that was just a way to showcase how Day and Night could be used in Gold/Silver. If anyone disagrees with this, I'm interested in your opinion--[[User:MJuice|MJuice]] 02:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
:The Japanese name for the type is Evil, so your observations aren't without support. However, over analyzing too much only adds fuel to the whole 'Pokemon is Satanic' argument.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 04:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:Late reply, but it seems rather likely to me that Dark actually refers to both. Darkness and nighttime are often used (both in Western and Eastern cultures, including Japan) as a symbolic reference to evil, especially the former. Several Dark Pokemon such as Murkrow also have a highly prominent connection to the night, be it evolutionary methods or location in the wild. Initially in Gold/Silver, it should be noted that every wild Dark Pokemon could only be found at night. Because of this, it is not necessarily true that the "Dark = Night" conception is a falsehood, so I don't think the night/darkness implications of the Dark type should be regarded as an outright misinterpretation so much as simply being opinionated.

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Aku}}
Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Statistical averages==

}}

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the second is probably due to {{t|Rock|its other type}}). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]]-type, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 23 Pokémon with the Dark-type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 80, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgement}}).
** This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, {{p|Arceus}}'s {{m|Judgment}} becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well.
* However,''Sombrio'' means Shadow,another type.
* Due to {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}'s type change in [[Generation II]], the Dark-type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** Also due to this, it is the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[Kanto Dex]].
* There is no damaging Dark-type move with an accuracy lower than 100%.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark-type. Despite this, there have been two Elite Four members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* {{p|Poochyena}} is the only known pure-Dark-type Pokémon that is able to evolve.
* There are no Generation I Dark-Type Pokemon. This is because Dark-Type Pokemon didn't appear until Generation II

Dark (type)

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Aku}}
Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the second is probably due to {{t|Rock|its other type}}). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic-types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic-types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[critical hit]] ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]]-type, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 23 Pokémon with the Dark-type.

Powerhouse Pokémon

Moonlight umbreon:

'''Pseudo-legendary''' is a term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, two [[Elemental types|type]]s, as well as a [[base stats|base stat total]] of 600. Pseudo-legendaries are more powerful than many other non-legendary Pokémon, if only for their base stats, and in particular, have an outstanding {{stat|Attack}} stat. They also have incredibly diverse movepools and can usually be obtained only in their first form. Due to this, raising them is difficult since they require a lot of [[experience]] to [[Level|level up]]. Since the pseudo-legendaries are very powerful, they are commonly used by many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in their teams. Three of the five pseudo-legendaries Pokémon are {{type2|Dragon}}.

==List of pseudo-legendaries==
There are five Pokémon considered to be pseudo-legendaries. The following shows the pseudo-legendaries, their types, and the Pokémon they evolve from.

==Characteristics==
With the exception of {{p|Garchomp}}'s evolution family, the pseudo-legendaries are usually situated next to the [[legendary trio]]s in the [[Pokédex]]es of their respective [[Generation]]s. In both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|Johto Dex]], the evolutionary lines of {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} are located just after the [[legendary trio]] and before the [[List of tiers#Uber|Ubers]] of their respective generation (they are located next to each other in the Johto Dex). Similarly, the {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Metagross}} lines are located next to each other right before the [[legendary golems]] in both the National Pokédex and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]].

Besides {{p|Metagross}}, the pseudo-legendaries have a double weakness to one type: in the case of {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} the double weakness is to {{type2|Ice}} moves, while {{p|Tyranitar}} has a double weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.

All of the pseudo-legendaries also have an immunity to one type. For {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Salamence}} it is {{type2|Ground}}, for {{p|Tyranitar}} it is {{type2|Psychic}}, for {{p|Metagross}} it is {{type2|Poison}}, and for {{p|Garchomp}} it is {{type2|Electric}}.

==In the games==
These Pokémon are used in-game almost exclusively by the final members of the [[Elite Four]] and [[Champion]]s. {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], the final Elite Four member in [[Generation I]] and {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; it is used again by Lance as the Champion in [[Generation II]]. {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion, but only in the second round of the Elite Four in FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Salamence}} is used by {{EF|Drake}}, the final Elite Four member in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Steven Stone]], the Champion in Ruby and Sapphire, and ex-Champion in Emerald. {{p|Garchomp}} is used by [[Cynthia]], the Champion in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance uses a Dragonite, but when he is battled again, he will replace two of his three Dragonite with the two other Dragon Pseudo-legendaries, Salamence and Garchomp. This means that all Pseudo-legendaries have been used by a Champion at least once.

Pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form for the first two games of their generation. However, {{p|Dragonair}} is obtainable in the wild in most games where {{p|Dratini}} is (all but {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}). Likewise, {{p|Pupitar}} is available in the wild in {{v2|Crystal}}. {{p|Gabite}} is also found in {{si|Victory Road}} in {{v2|Platinum}}.

===[[Pokémon Colosseum]]===
In story mode, {{pkmn2|Shadow}} {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Nascour]] and Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by [[Evice]]; it is notable that the two [[Cipher]] leaders have positions comparable to those of the final [[Elite Four]] member and [[Champion]], respectively. {{Pokémon XD}} complemented the list of pseudo-legendaries as of [[Generation III]] by featuring Shadow {{p|Salamence}} (used by [[Eldes]]) and Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} (used by [[Miror B.]]). Another commonality is that all four pseudo-legendaries have {{m|Shadow Rush}} as one of their Shadow Moves.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia's_Garchomp.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in the anime]]
All the pseudo-legendaries have appeared in the anime.
*{{p|Dragonite}} debuted as a silhouette in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', but appeared physically in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
:*Dragonite has also appeared belonging to [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] and [[Lance#In the anime|Lance]], both regional champions.
*{{TP|Vicious|Tyranitar}} debuted in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.
*{{p|Salamence}} debuted in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.
*{{p|Metagross}} debuted in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''.
*{{p|Garchomp}} first appeared belonging to [[Cynthia]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Although pseudo-legendaries are used almost exclusively by the final members of the [[Elite Four]] and [[Champion]]s, there are two minor exceptions in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}: a male Trainer on [[Route 229]] uses {{p|Salamence}}, and a female Trainer on [[Route 224]] has {{p|Metagross}}, serving as cameo appearances for the movie characters [[Butler]] and {{mov|Rebecca}}, who used these pseudo-legendaries in their respective {{pkmn|movie}}s. Another Trainer on [[Route 227]] uses a Dragonite.
*Each of the pseudo-legendaries has {{stat|Attack}} as its highest base stat.
*Each pseudo-legendary family has at least one [[List of Pokémon by color#Blue|blue-colored]] member.
*Among Pokémon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendaries are {{p|Slaking}}, {{p|Flygon}}, and {{p|Aggron}}. For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendaries.
*Tyranitar is the only pseudo-legendary that is completely unable to be used in tournaments due to the level 50 cap; Salamence, Metagross, and Garchomp all evolve at or right before level 50, and Dragonite evolves at level 55 like Tyranitar, but was also released in an event at level 50, and is tournament legal in this form.
*All pseudo-legendaries can learn Earthquake.

==Moveset==

It doesn't learn Hyper Beam other than TM. Look at the Moveset. {{unsigned|Dark Sage}}
:That means nothing to the anime, where a Pokémon is capable of anything in its movelist (as TMs don't exist). Like Pikachu with Iron Tail (TM move) and Chikorita with Vine Whip (Egg move). --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 05:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
::Oh. Ok. {{unsigned|Dark Sage}}

==God of Water?==

Never once do the games or anime suggest that Kyogre, Groudon, or Rayquaza are gods. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus are considered gods, but not the weather trio. As such, this trivia is pure speculations and has not merit. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 16:26, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
:It ''created the ocean''. In ancient Egypt, they used to consider the Nile River like a god because it was that basis of their civilization. I think creating the entire ocean is enough for someone to call it a god... Although I guess you have a point, it's never actually been considered a god... So let's just try and avoid the god title... [[User:M190049|'''''~m190049''''']][[User talk:M190049|'''''~talk''''']] 00:38, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::It may have created the ocean, it may not have. It obviously has drastic effects upon the nature of the oceans when it's powers are unleashed. However, it was never called a god in-game nor in-anime nor in-manga, no matter how god-like it is, it can't be considered a god. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 00:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes... I just said that. [[User:M190049|'''''~m190049''''']][[User talk:M190049|'''''~talk''''']] 00:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
::::@[[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] I would presume the weather trio are just incredibly influential on nature. Arceus is the only Pokemon anywhere near a god. Dialga and Palkia are only considered so because of the spacetime control. I think Giratina has something to do with antimatter so it and the Distortion World are just a balance to the regular matter universe. {{unsigned|494alex}}

== Anime Page ==

Hey, we all know anime pages refer to Pokémon that appear in a Pokémon movie. Since movie 9 is the only time it appeared, I suggest an anime page should be made about it. I know it only appeared around the end of movie 9 and didn't have much to do in the movie, but how about we do make the anime page? Oh, and not to annoy people, I won't make unless and until we decide to make it.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 05:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
:It had only appeared in the end of the movie like what you have said and the length of its appearance was way too short for it to become notable. ×'''[[User:Kevzo8|Ke]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|vz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|o8]]''' 06:23, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

You're right... I was thinking of comparing the way it appeared to Regigigas in movie 11... even though I haven't seen that movie, it seems that [[Regigigas (anime)|its anime page]] says that it had a bigger appearance, huh? I guess an anime page shouldn't be made, then.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 05:58, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia Section==
You see where it says in Rayquaza Kyogre and Groudon's Trivia section that they are the only version mascot legendaries without signature moves, shouldn't it also be said that this is probably because they have signature ABILITIES instead? I mean I don't any other Pokémon with Drizzle, Drought or Air Lock (thouh the Psyduck family have Cloud Nine, which does the same thing as Ray's ability). All other version mascot legendaries have Pressure, except Giratina Origin Forme which has Levitate. {{unsigned|494alex}}

'''Pin Missile''' (Japanese: '''ミサイルばり''' ''Missile Needle'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===[[Generation I]]===
Pin Missile inflicts damage, hitting the target between 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Although only the first hit can be a [[Damage modification#critical hit|critical hit]], each hit per use will deal the same amount of damage.

Pin Missile will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|Substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge one hit of this move.

===[[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}}===
Same as Generation I, but any hit can critical hit and the others will do normal damage.

===[[Generation IV]]===
Same as the previous generations, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.

'''Destiny Bond''' (Japanese: '''みちづれ''' ''Fellow Travelers'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
When Destiny Bond is used, if the user faints as the direct result of an attack, the Pokémon that landed the knockout hit also faints. A Pokémon defeated by this move will faint before the Pokémon which used Destiny Bond. This move's effect only works if the user faints before making another move. If it faints later than that (unless it used this move again), this move's effect will not happen. Destiny Bond does not activate for damage that occurs at the end of the turn, including damage from {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Future Sight}}. In a double battle, both opponents are targeted, but only the one that knocks the user out is affected.

Tackle may not be counted as a move one has to learn, because many Pokémon who aren't able to learn Tackle in the games can use it in the anime (such as Pikachu in the Kanto series). Tackle may just be an extra command a trainer can give their Pokémon to cause extra damage to the opponent.

The '''Viridian Gym''' (Japanese: '''トキワジム''' ''Tokiwa Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Viridian City]]. It is based on {{type2|Ground}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Earth}}.

Other known leaders of the Gym are {{ga|Blue}} and [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]], who serves as a temporary Gym Leader.

Viridian Gym appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} when the player makes their first encounter with the gym, it is locked because of the absence of the Gym Leader. With this acknowledged, the player journeys off onto other Gyms to challenge them. Once this has been accomplished and when the player has collected the remaining seven [[Gym Badges]], the Viridian Gym reopens.

Inside the Gym, the floor uses the same transporting tiles as in the {{OBP|Rocket Hideout|Celadon City}}. The player must use these tiles to navigate through the Gym to reach Giovanni. In [[Generation II]], when Blue takes the place of the Gym Leader, the Gym is completely remodeled, and the tiles are now gone.

A field based on the gym also appears in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]].

==In the anime==
In the anime, the Viridian Gym was led by [[Giovanni]], as it was in [[Generation I]]. The gym features Roman architecture, stately pillars, and an old mural depicting the proud tradition of this most prestigious gym. The predominant brownish color suggests the gym's affiliation with the {{type2|Ground}}.

The Viridian Gym first made an appearance in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. Before {{Ash}} could challenge him, however, [[Gary Oak]] appeared, taunting him with ten badges, and insisting on challenging the Viridian Gym for fun. Gary faced Giovanni, though his confidence was quickly eroded after Giovanni brought out {{an|Mewtwo}}, who defeated each of Gary's Pokémon, even when Giovanni allowed him to use more than one Pokémon at a time against Mewtwo.

Ash Ketchum soon after challenged the gym, after Gary and his Pokémon had recovered, however, as the Team Rocket boss had unmentioned business to attend to, he left the Gym in the care of none other than [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Giovanni also left them with several Pokémon that they could use against any challengers. Ash had a hard time beating them initially, and as the Gym was rigged to shock anyone whose Pokémon took damage, it was a hard fight at first. Eventually, Ash overcame the borrowed Pokémon's power and defeated all of them, causing Team Rocket to rely on their usual duo of {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Ash quickly dispatched the two, shocking the trio due to the Gym's rigging. They blasted off, dropping an Earth Badge in their daze. Ash caught it, but he, Gary, Gary's cheerleaders, Brock, and Misty had to escape the Gym quickly, as it was collapsing.

The Gym appeared again when Ash returned to [[Kanto]] from [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', where [[Agatha]] was now the temporary Gym Leader. Ash challenged her to an {{wp|exhibition match}}, but lost.

Giovanni abdicating his position as Gym Leader is similar to the case in the Generation I games, however, in the anime, he is still in charge of Team Rocket, while in the games he disbands the team.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
The Viridian Gym is first visited in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' where {{Special|Red}} and [[Professor Oak]] enters following a {{p|Bulbasaur}}. In this occasion the Gym is abandoned with only a {{p|Machoke}} and a Giovanni statue present.

The Gym is visited again after Red's incident with Mewtwo. During this time, Giovanni is present and ready to fight. However, as the battle progresses, the gym collapses due to {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Earthquake}}.

Even later, Red's Gym Leader test is held in the gym. Even though he wins, Red declines the position as he was struggling throughout the battle. Currently, Blue is the Viridian Gym's leader.

In the FireRed and LeafGreen chapter, {{Special|Yellow}} and {{Special|Silver}} go to the Viridian Gym to seek Silver's past. At the same time, Giovanni and the Three Beasts are on their way to the gym also, trying to reunite Silver with Giovanni. This succeeds when [[Sird]] lets Yellow use her power, thus exhausting her.

==Trivia==
*The Viridian Gym is the first Official Gym in the anime to be shown challenged both by Ash and another main character, Gary. This next happened [[EP256|unofficially]] in Johto, but officially against the [[Oreburgh Gym]] in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, when [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} both challenged [[Roark]]. Also again when both {{an|Dawn}} and Ash challenged [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]].
*[[Agatha]]'s temporary position as Leader of the Viridian Gym when {{Ash}} returns to [[Kanto]] may be an anime reference to the fact that Giovanni quit Team Rocket and his status as Gym Leader after being defeated by {{ga|Red}}. What this possibly means for [[Gary Oak]], whose game counterpart {{ga|Blue}} eventually assumed the title of leader in [[Generation II]], is disputed.
*The Viridian Gym of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is the only Viridian Gym not to feature {{p|Rhydon}}.
*In [[Generation I]], a Revive can be found and in [[Generation III]], a [[Macho Brace]], making it the only gym with items in it.
*This is the only gym to be based on 3 different types throughout the games and anime and the only one to not have a type for a generation.
*In Generation 3,all pokemon of Giovanni's team had Earthquake.

'''Electabuzz''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレブー''' ''Eleboo'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Elekid}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Electivire}} when [[trade]]d holding an [[Electirizer]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Electabuzz is a slightly humanoid and partly feline creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, one of which is shaped like a lightning bolt. It has a long, cat-like tail. The three toes on Electabuzz's feet are arranged like that of a bird's foot, but its hands have a human appearance, with five fingers on each hand.

Electabuzz has two sharp fangs and a pair of antennae. When it is dark out, Electabuzz's entire body gives off a bluish-white glow.

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

====Special abilities====
Electabuzz specialize in using {{t|electric}}al attacks. Electabuzz can also be good with using physical attacks, such as the Elemental Punches, {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Mega Punch}}.

===Behavior===
Electabuzz tend to be drawn to electrical sources. That is why many of them can be found in power plants. This is also the reason why during thunderstorms, they compete with each other to reach heights likely to be stricken by lightning bolts.

When two Electabuzz meet, they communicate their feelings by touching and controlling the electric currents.

Also, shown in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Electabuzz hate the color red. When they've seen the color, they go on a rampage.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Electabuzz normally reside in power plants and can sometimes wander into cities and cause major black-outs.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Electabuzz is primarily an ergovore, which means that it feeds off of electric currents.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Paul's Electabuzz.jpg|thumb|220px|right|[[Paul's Electabuzz]]]]Electabuzz first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It is the Kas Gym's primary Pokémon and was used in the feuds that the Kas and Yas Gyms were having.

[[Rudy]], the [[Trovita Island]] [[Gym Leader]], used an Electabuzz against [[Ash's Pikachu]] during their Gym Battle in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{oi|Drake}}, the leader of the [[Orange Crew]], used his Electabuzz to fight {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Charizard}}. Drake's Electabuzz defeated {{Ash}}'s Bulbasaur before being defeated by Ash's Charizard.

An Electabuzz was the head of security in a power plant. In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', it attacked Ash and his {{AP|Chikorita}}, seeing them as intruders, but was then captured by [[Team Rocket]].

[[Dr. Namba]] owns an Electabuzz that he used in ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

Electabuzz is one of the Electric-type Pokémon that was seen in the lake with crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

[[Macey]] used an Electabuzz in her [[Silver Conference]] battle against Ash in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''.

[[Jump]] used an Electabuzz in the first round of the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' but it was defeated by [[Morrison]]'s newly evolved {{TP|Morrison|Metang}}.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]'', [[Paul's Elekid]] evolves into {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} in the [[Double battle|Tag Battle]] Competition. In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' it was revealed that Paul had left his Electabuzz under the care of his brother, [[Reggie]]. It then returned to Paul's team after the events of ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Electabuzz is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but now is part of a three-stage evolutionary line (the other four being {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Roselia}}).
* Electabuzz and {{p|Elekid}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Zapdos}}. They are all known as Electric Pokémon.
* All Pokédex sprites show one or two hands risen.
*{{p|Magmar}} and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an "-izer" item), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games.
* Electabuzz is the only member of its family not to have some physical relation to an {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|AC power unit}}. Elekid's head is shaped like a power plug while Electivire's back patterns look like a power socket.
* Electabuzz and Magmar evolutionary lines are counterparts too:the first member appeared in Generation 1,the baby form in Generation 2 and the second member appeared in Generation 4.

===Origin===
Electabuzz was likely based on one of the Japanese {{wp|oni (Japanese folklore)|oni}} who was a horned ogre who wore tiger-stripes and was sometimes depicted as a god of lightning and thunder.
Its apppearance seems to be loosely based on a {{wp|caveman}} considering the pattern on its fur and the band on its back (which resembles the upper portion of a loincloth). Its tail looks like that of a {{wp|leopard}}.
====Name origin====
Electabuzz's name seems to be a combination of ''electric'' and ''buzz'', possibly in a reference to the humming sound of electricity. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of ''electric'' and ぶんぶん ''bunbun'', buzz.

Defensively, the Ground-type is mediocre. It is weak to Water, Grass and Ice, which are key attacking types. It resists Poison, a rare offensive type, and Rock. It is, however, immune to the Electric-type, posing a great advantage due to the minority of Pokémon resisting Electric-type moves that are not Electric-types themselves, and the lack of a 1/4 resistance to Electric even by [[Generation IV]].

Offensively, the Ground-type is one of the three most important attacking types, together with Ice and Fighting. It is the only type super-effective against Electric, and is super-effective against five types in total; only the Fighting-type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against the best defensive type, Steel. Grass- and Bug-types do resist Ground, but many of them lose their Ground resistance due to being part Poison. The greatest disadvantage of the Ground-type is that it does not affect the very common Flying-type at all, nor Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

The Ground-type combines very well with the Ice-type, as Ice covers Grass and Flying, while Ground covers Rock, Steel, and Fire. Ground and Rock also work very well together; Rock covers Ice and Flying while Ground covers Steel; as of Generation IV, only {{p|Claydol}}, {{p|Flygon}}, and {{p|Bronzong}} with Levitate and {{p|Breloom}} and {{p|Torterra}} resist both Rock and Ground. Most Ground-type Pokémon are able to learn Rock-type moves, possibly for that very purpose.

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

In total, there are 48 Pokémon with the Ground-type.

==Trivia==
* The {{type2|Electric}} is the only type not neutral to Ground that has not been combined with the Ground-type yet.
* Along with the {{type2|Fighting}}, Ground-type moves are super-effective against the most types, with five.
* Each Generation has introduced at least one Ground-type Pokémon whose name begins with the letter G.
* Although Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks, the ability {{a|Static}} still affects them.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon may only be immune to Electric moves from Electric-type Pokémon and not to any other types of electric shocks, as seen in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' when multiple Ground-types were hurt by [[Domino]]'s tulip.
* All types that resist the {{type2|Flying}} are weak to Ground, and vice versa.
* Of all 17 types, the Ground-type has the most Pokémon unaffected by it's moves. This is to make up for the type's numerous strengths and the fact that only 2 types resist it.
* The ground-type have no 3 pokemon pure evolutionary line.It shares its trait with the dark- type.

In total, there are 48 Pokémon with the Ground-type.

==Trivia==
* The {{type2|Electric}} is the only type not neutral to Ground that has not been combined with the Ground-type yet.
* Along with the {{type2|Fighting}}, Ground-type moves are super-effective against the most types, with five.
* Each Generation has introduced at least one Ground-type Pokémon whose name begins with the letter G.
* Although Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks, the ability {{a|Static}} still affects them.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon may only be immune to Electric moves from Electric-type Pokémon and not to any other types of electric shocks, as seen in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' when multiple Ground-types were hurt by [[Domino]]'s tulip.
* All types that resist the {{type2|Flying}} are weak to Ground, and vice versa.
* Of all 17 types, the {{type2|Ground}} has the most Pokémon unaffected by it's moves. This is to make up for the type's numerous strengths and the fact that only 2 types resist it.
* Ground is the only type that has no pure evolutionary line.It shares its trait with the Dark-type.

'''Nightmare''' (Japanese: '''あくむ''' ''Nightmare'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
Nightmare will reduce the target's health by one quarter of its maximum {{stat|HP}} at the end of each turn. Nightmare will fail if the target is not {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. Nightmare will end if the target awakens from its sleep and its effects will not continue if a target is put back to sleep. However, if the target is put to sleep in the same turn it was woken up by an item, the effects will continue.

==Characteristics==
The Steel-type was established in Generation II.

Defensively, Steel-types are considered to be the best type of Pokémon to use. They have resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special tank in battle. They are immune to {{type2|Poison}} attacks, making them very tricky to inflict {{m|Toxic}} poison on. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their high Defense, but all 3 of the type's weaknesses are to the very common {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Ground}} types. This is made up by the fact that only a small number of Steel-types are without another type. Their Special Defense is lower than their physical, but is still reasonably high.

Offensively, it is not recommended to use Steel-type moves, because there are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}} and both of which are rarely used defensively. Steel-types have average Attack and Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.

When used in contests, Steel-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 26 Pokémon with the Steel-type.

==Trivia==
* Although the Steel-type was introduced in [[Generation II]], the only currently known pure Steel-type Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].
* There are only two pure Steel-type Pokémon. The only other type that has fewer is Flying which has no pure Flying-type.
* Out of all the types, Steel has the most resistances and the highest average {{stat|Defense}}.
* There were no 100% accurate Steel-type attacks until [[Generation IV]].
* Up until {{game|Platinum}}, {{p|Weedle}} was completely unable to damage Steel-type Pokémon because the only damaging move it could learn was {{m|Poison Sting}}, and Steel-types are immune to {{type2|Poison}} moves. In Platinum, Weedle is able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} via level-up, allowing it to do damage. However, Bug Bite isn't very effective against them.
* {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} are Generation I Pokémon that became a Steel-type Pokémon in Generation II.
* Though Steel-type moves deal super-effective damage against both {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, there has not yet been a Pokémon of that type combination, and therefore, Steel-type moves cannot currently deal 4× damage.
* All Steel-type moves consist of two words.

Electric (type)

Moonlight umbreon:

{{ElementalTypes|electric}}
{{TypeNotice|Electric|でんき|Denki}}
Some notable trainers that specialize in the Electric-type include [[Lt. Surge]] of [[Vermilion City]], [[Wattson]] of [[Mauville City]] and [[Volkner]] of [[Sunyshore City]].

==Statistical averages==

|noeffect1=Ground
}}

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Electric-type is a somewhat useful type. Some outliers benefit from their typing (Magnezone, Zapdos and Lanturn) and can be incredibly bulky. It is also the only type that, when unpaired, has some resistances and only one weakness. A large problem is the prevalence of {{m|Earthquake}} which is a very common [[physical move]]. Plus, not only are most of the types Electric resists rarely used offensively, but {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Zapdos}} are the only Pokémon without the Electric type's Ground weakness. However, many Electric types can use {{m|Magnet Rise}}, thus giving them temporary immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves.

Offensively, the Electric-type is also only somewhat useful. Flying and Water are fairly common types. Most Water types can also learn Ice attacks to counter it's other weakness which often leaves Electric as the only key type against them. However, there are 2 other types that can also be used super effectivly against Flying and part Ground Water types can be used to rid Water of it's Electric weakness.

When used in contests, Electric-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can be of three other contest types. None are of the [[Tough Contest|Tough]] type.

In total, there are 28 Pokémon with the Electric-type.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, the Electric-type has had some degree of exclusivity with Ash, as his {{AP|Pikachu}} was the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character up until {{an|Dawn}} captured {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy]]''.
* Each Electric-type Gym Leader is seen wearing a military-style outfit; Lt. Surge wears a uniform reminiscent of that of {{wp|Vietnam War|Vietnam}} soldiers, Wattson wears what appears to be an aviator's jacket, and Volkner wears what appears to be a military uniform similar to that of the dress uniform of Turkish troops.
* Every generation has introduced Electric-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters E, M, and P.
* In [[Generation III]], all Electric moves were [[Cool]] moves except for {{m|Charge}}.
* There is yet to be a Pokémon with double resistance to the Electric-type, though there are multiple types which do resist it.
* Every dual typed Electric-type Pokémon has a [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] unique to itself or to other members of its family.

Notable trainers that specialize in the Fighting-type include [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]], [[Chuck]] of [[Cianwood City]], [[Brawly]] of [[Dewford Town]], and [[Maylene]] of [[Veilstone City]]. The [[Fighting Dojo]] of [[Saffron City]] is also home to several trainers of Fighting-type Pokémon, although it is not an official gym.

''Note:'' Although Fighting-type attacks normally have no effect on Ghost-type Pokémon, the moves {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well as the ability {{a|Scrappy}}, allow both Normal-type and Fighting-type moves to affect Ghost-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
As of [[Generation IV]], the Fighting-type, along with {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Ground}}, is often considered a key offensive type in the game. In the past, the type was not as effective thanks to the power of the {{type2|Psychic}}s, but now their useful resistances and vast type coverage allow many Fighting-types to sweep freely.

Defensively, the Fighting-type is acceptable. While many Fighting-types have below-average defenses, resistances to Dark and Rock are key.

Offensively, the Fighting-type is very powerful. It hits five different types with super-effective damage, more than any other type except for the Ground-type, with which it ties. It deals super-effective damage to Rock and Steel, types which generally have high Defense, and is the only type super-effective against Normal. It is super-effective against Ice, a key offensive but low defensive type. It is also one of the two types super-effective against Dark. This is slightly balanced out by the fact that Ghosts are immune to Fighting attacks without the aid of {{m|Foresight}}/{{m|Odor Sleuth}} or the {{a|Scrappy}} ability. In the first three generations, there were very few powerful Fighting-type moves, but this has changed with the introduction of {{m|Close Combat}} and increased availability of moves such as {{m|Superpower}}.

When used in contests, Fighting-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]], but can also be of two other Contest categories. No Fighting-type moves are of the [[Cute Contest|Cute]] category.

In total, there are 25 Pokémon with the Fighting-type.

==Trivia==
* With the exception of {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Fist Plate]], there has yet to be a Fighting-type [[legendary Pokémon]].
** {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[Fist Plate]] is also the only quadrupedal Fighting-type Pokémon.
* As of [[Generation IV]], the Fighting-type is the only type that has not been paired with the {{type2|Flying}}.
* All of the [[legendary golems]], including {{p|Regigigas}}, are weak to Fighting moves.
* No Fighting-type move can hit both foes in a double battle.
* Along with the {{type2|Ground}}, Fighting-type moves are super effective against the most Pokémon types: five.
* Fighting is the only type to have two variations of {{m|Quick Attack}}: {{m|Mach Punch}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.
* As of Generation II, the Fighting-type (along with {{t|Bug}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa).

==Characteristics==
Psychic-types have been a fairly popular type since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high.

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}}. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.

When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].

In total, there are 53 Pokémon with the Psychic-type.

==Balance issues==
Psychic-type Pokémon are at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games. The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types). Additionally, Psychic-types were not affected by {{type2|Ghost}} moves in Generation I, causing further imbalance, although there were no powerful damaging moves that were of the Ghost-type anyway, except for {{m|Night Shade}}, which does fixed damage. Additionally, the only Ghost-type Pokémon (the {{p|Gastly}} evolution line) were all part {{t|Poison}}, which is weak to Psychic moves.

The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of more powerful Ghost and Bug-type moves, pure Ghost-type Pokémon, the addition of the {{type2|Steel}} (which are resistant to Psychic moves) and the {{type2|Dark}} (which are both immune to Psychic moves and powerful against Psychic Pokémon themselves).

==Trivia==
* Currently, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Zen Headbutt}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]].
** In fact, every single Generation so far has at least two legendaries representing that type.
* As of Generation IV, all but three legendary Pokémon learn at least one Psychic move by leveling up; they are {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Phione}}.
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}}.
* Despite often being known as the most powerful type, due to the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} that have a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.
* All Psychic-type Pokémon from Generations I and II are weak to Dark-type moves, as there were no dual type Psychic/Fighting or Psychic/Steel to counter the weakness.

Dragon (type)

{{ElementalTypes|dragon}}
{{TypeNotice|Dragon|ドラゴン|Dragon}}
Notable Trainers of the Dragon-type include [[Lance]] and {{EF|Drake}} of the [[Elite Four]] and [[Clair]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]].

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===

}}

==Characteristics==
The Dragon-type is considered by many to be the best of all types overall. Because of the minimal amount of weaknesses that they have, they often find a way onto trainers' [[party|teams]]. The downside to the supposed power that they have is that they are slightly harder to raise, with many of them not evolving from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50. Most Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] have high [[Stats#Attack|Attack]] and [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]], and paired with their incredibly diverse movepools, they are one of the best in the games.

The Dragon-type is good offensively. Even though only Dragons themselves are Dragon-weak, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB. Dragon/Fire, a common attacking combination among Dragons, is resisted together only by {{p|Heatran}}. {{m|Dragon Dance}} is also a very common move for physical sweepers.

Defensively, they have key resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire, enabling them to block certain Pokémon. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-[[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] Dragon-type except {{p|Kingdra}} has a double weakness to {{type2|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[types]].

As of [[Generation IV]], all fully-evolved Dragon-types also have a secondary type.

When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

In total, there are nineteen Pokémon with the Dragon-type, one more than the {{type2|Ghost}}, thus making it the Pokémon type with the second fewest number of Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; but because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do variable Dragon-type damage. There is speculation that this is the reason that {{p|Gyarados}} is not part Dragon-type.
* It has been speculated that if {{p|Eevee}} receives another evolution in a future game, it would be Dragon, being the only formerly all-special type left that Eevee has yet to evolve into.
* There are only eleven Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Eight of those eleven moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in {{pkmn|Contests}}. The only three that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon-type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* Even though the Dragon-type has always been considered nearly legendary, no actual Dragon-type [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] were introduced until [[Generation III]]'s {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* There is no fully-evolved Dragon-type that does not have a secondary type.
* The Dragon-type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon-type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the {{type2|Ghost}}.
* Even though dragons are known in real-life legends as fire-breathers, there is yet to be a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/Dragon or Dragon/Fire Pokémon, though most Dragon-types can use Fire-type moves.
* The Dragon-type has the dubious honor of being one of three types that will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{type2|Poison}} which is only super effective against {{type2|Grass}}s, and the {{type2|Normal}}, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon-type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Sceptile}} are often considered to be Dragon-types due to their appearance, egg group, movepool and use by in-game trainers as dragons. However, they are not Dragon-types.
* The final evolutions of all pure Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries]].
* The Dragon-type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* All pure Dragon-type Pokémon have a different ability from their final evolution; {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Dragonair}} have {{a|Shed Skin}}, whereas {{p|Dragonite}} has {{a|Inner Focus}}, and {{p|Bagon}} and {{p|Shelgon}} have {{a|Rock Head}}, whereas {{p|Salamence}} has {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Only four Dragon-type Pokémon are neither legendary nor part of a pseudo-legendary's family; all of them evolve from non Dragon-type Pokémon.
* Not counting numerous [[legendary Pokémon]], the only dual-type Dragon Pokémon that does not sport a 4x weakness to the {{type2|Ice}} is {{p|Kingdra}}.
