The '''sixth generation''' of Pokémon is the sixth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, [[Pokémon X and Y]], were released as a pair. For the first time in the core series, the games are in full 3D and were released worldwide in October 12, 2013 for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

[[Kalos]], the region introduced in this generation, continues the trend of being based in a real-life world location outside of Japan, started by Generation V. This time, the region is based in {{wp|France}}.

The Generation VI games are able to communicate with the four [[Generation V]] games when the storage-based online application [[Pokémon Bank]] was launched to the public starting from December 25, 2013 in Japan.

X and Y occur an undisclosed amount of time after [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black and White]]. [[Looker]], who has made appearances in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games, is found in Kalos.

==Advances in gameplay==
The advancements introduced in Generation VI include:
* The addition of {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon|70 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 719. Only one evolution from a Pokémon featured in a previous generation is found, being a new {{p|Eevee}} evolution.
* The addition of a new [[type]], the {{t|Fairy}} type, bringing the total to 18. The last time that a new type had been introduced was in [[Generation II]].
* The addition of 53 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 609.
* The addition of 24 new [[Ability|Abilities]], bringing the total to 188.
* The games now feature a completely three dimensional environment, as well as a new 3D battle system with 3D models for Pokémon as opposed to 2D sprites.
* A new battle mechanic, [[Mega Evolution]], which can only happen during a battle and will wear off once the battle ends. This is only available for certain Pokémon.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Kalos]] region, far away from the previous five and based on {{wp|France}}.
* A new [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Flare]], whose goal is to make money and create a beautiful world for themselves and eliminate all who don't meet their standards.
* The ability for the {{player}} to walk in an 8 directional grid as opposed to the 4 directional grid that has been common in all the preceding games.
* Three new battle modes:
** A new battle mode called [[Sky Battle]]s, where only certain {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, or those whose Ability is {{a|Levitate}} can participate.
** Another battle mode called [[Horde Encounter]]s, where multiple [[wild Pokémon]] will engage in a battle against one of the player's Pokémon.
**The third format is known as an [[Inverse Battle]], which completely reverses [[Type chart|type matchups]].
* The addition of [[Super Training]], a way to increase a Pokémon's [[EV]]s.
* The addition of [[Trainer customization|customization]] for the player, with the ability to choose a variety of outfits to wear at any time.
* The new [[Pokémon Bank]], an online Nintendo 3DS application that will allow the storage of up to 3000 Pokémon through the payment of an annual fee.
* [[TM]]s have been expanded from 95 to 100.

===Alterations from Generation V===
* The abandonment of the [[Pokémon Musical]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Badges are once again needed in order to use [[HM]] {{OBP|field move|core series}}s.

|} 

==Region==
===Kalos===
[[File:Kalos XY.png|thumb|250px|Kalos]]
{{main|Kalos}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Kalos]] region, is introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Like the previous region, Kalos has no close ties with any other region.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the sixth Generation, like the starters of the previous five generations, follow the {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} trio setup. At the beginning of the game, the player must choose between the Grass-type {{p|Chespin}}, the Fire-type {{p|Fennekin}} and the Water-type {{p|Froakie}}.

====Gym Leaders====
Like the other five regions, Kalos has its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Like always, Badges and TMs are given away by defeated Gym Leaders.

==Trivia==
* Generation VI introduced the fewest new Pokémon, with 70; new moves, with 51; and new Abilities, with 26.
* Generation VI is the only generation that did not introduce:
** A {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.
** A {{2t|Bug|Poison}} Pokémon.
** A [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member specializing in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** A new type of [[Poké Ball]].
** A [[department store]].
* Generation VI was the first generation not to introduced at {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon since [[Generation I]].
* Generation VI is the only generation which contains games (excluding [[remake]]s) in which some Gym Leaders hand out TMs containing moves from older generations.
* Generation VI relieved restrictions on formatting that were evident in previous generations:
** The maximum amount of characters in a Pokémon's name or nickname is no longer 10 characters long.
**The names of players are no longer limited to 7 characters long.
** The names of all [[move]]s, [[item]]s and {{Abilities}} introduced before Generation VI are no longer limited to 12 characters, including any spaces. Some of these names were re-formatted; for example, Selfdestruct became {{m|Self-Destruct}}.
* Generation VI leaves the most extra room in the PC if one captures exactly one of each species of Pokémon, with there being 930 spaces and 719 Pokémon.

Water (type)

2013-05-12T08:43:45Z

PikachuMonster: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Water type''' (Japanese: '''みずタイプ''' ''Water type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Water type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Wallace]] and [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis City]], [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]], [[Cress]] of [[Striaton City]], and [[Marlon]] of [[Humilau City]]. Prior to [[Generation_IV#Advances_in_gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Water-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|

HP=70.79 |
Attack=70.53 |

}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of Magikarp and the Seismitoad evolution line, can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, and Seismitoad can learn Poison moves, which can also counter Grass types), and a small number of Water types such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Octillery}} and the {{p|Slowking}} evolutionary line are capable of learning the {{type|Fire}} moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} which are also capable of countering Grass types, {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line, the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water (all of which are Water types themselves).

===Contest Properties===

When used in Contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|109|111 including the relative alternate forms of Castform and Rotom}} Water-type Pokémon or {{tt|16.80%|17.10%, including Castform and Rotom forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the most common of the seventeen types.

==Trivia==
* Water is the most abundant type, with 109 Pokémon species (111 counting {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Rotom}}), comprising nearly 17% of the entire known [[National Pokédex]]. This may be a reference to how water is the most abundant substance on Earth, and how the majority of all species of life live in water.
* Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters P and S.
* At least one dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon has been introduced in each generation.
* Every generation has introduced exactly one non-damaging Water-type move.
* Each possible type combination that is doubly weak to Water ({{2t|Rock|Ground}}, {{2t|Fire|Ground}}, and {{2t|Fire|Rock}}) has been used so far on at least one Pokémon. The same is true for {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* The Water type has been paired with every other type except the {{t|Fire}} type. This means it has been paired with the highest number of types, tied with the {{t|Flying}} type.
* Water-type moves are tied with the {{t|Dragon}} type for having the most [[held item]]s that boost their power: {{DL|Incense|Sea Incense}}, {{DL|Incense|Wave Incense}}, {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate}}, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water}}, {{DL|Gem|Water Gem}}, and the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}}.
* The Water type has the most [[Gym Leader]]s of its type with a total of six.
** It is one of two types, the other being {{t|Electric}}, to have a Gym in every main series game so far.
* {{t|Ground}} is the type most commonly paired up with Water. Previously, Water/{{t|Ground}} was [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique]] to {{p|Wooper}} and {{p|Quagsire}}.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 32 and Generation IV introduced the least Water-type Pokémon, with 14.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type moves of any Generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the least Water-type moves, with three.
* The first dual Water type and the last dual Water type share the same secondary type: Fighting.
* The Water type is the only main series starter type that doesn't have a variation of {{m|Double-Edge}}: Fire has {{m|Flare Blitz}}, Grass has {{m|Wood Hammer}}, and {{t|Electric}} has {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
** Conversely, it is the only one of the four types with a variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}; in this case, being {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

PikachuMonster: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Water type''' (Japanese: '''みずタイプ''' ''Water type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Water type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Wallace]] and [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis City]], [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]], [[Cress]] of [[Striaton City]], and [[Marlon]] of [[Humilau City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Water-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of Magikarp and the Seismitoad evolution line, can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, and Seismitoad can learn Poison moves, which can also counter Grass types), and a small number of Water types such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Octillery}} and the {{p|Slowking}} evolutionary line are capable of learning the {{type|Fire}} moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} which are also capable of countering Grass types, {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line, the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water (all of which are Water types themselves).

===Contest Properties===

When used in Contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|109|111 including the relative alternate forms of Castform and Rotom}} Water-type Pokémon or {{tt|16.80%|17.10%, including Castform and Rotom forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the most common of the seventeen types.

==Trivia==
* Water is the most abundant type, with 109 Pokémon species (111 counting {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Rotom}}), comprising nearly 17% of the entire known [[National Pokédex]]. This may be a reference to how water is the most abundant substance on Earth, and how the majority of all species of life live in water.
* Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters P and S.
* At least one dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon has been introduced in each generation.
* Every generation has introduced exactly one non-damaging Water-type move.
* Each possible type combination that is doubly weak to Water ({{2t|Rock|Ground}}, {{2t|Fire|Ground}}, and {{2t|Fire|Rock}}) has been used so far on at least one Pokémon. The same is true for {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Water has been paired with all types except for {{t|Fire}}. This means it has been paired with the highest number of types, tied with the {{t|Flying}} type.
* Water-type moves are tied with the {{t|Dragon}} type for having the most [[held item]]s that boost their power: {{DL|Incense|Sea Incense}}, {{DL|Incense|Wave Incense}}, {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate}}, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water}}, {{DL|Gem|Water Gem}}, and the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}}.
* The Water type has the most [[Gym Leader]]s of its type with a total of six.
** It is one of two types, the other being {{t|Electric}}, to have a Gym in every main series game so far.
* {{t|Ground}} is the type most commonly paired up with Water. Previously, Water/{{t|Ground}} was once [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique]] to {{p|Wooper}} and {{p|Quagsire}}.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 32 and Generation IV introduced the least Water-type Pokémon, with 14.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type moves of any Generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the least Water-type moves, with three.
* The first dual Water type and the last dual Water type share the same secondary type: Fighting.
* The Water type is the only main series starter type that doesn't have a variation of {{m|Double-Edge}}: Fire has {{m|Flare Blitz}}, Grass has {{m|Wood Hammer}}, and {{t|Electric}} has {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
** Conversely, it is the only one of the four types with a variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}; in this case, being {{m|Aqua Jet}}.
* Before Generation V, All Generation I Water-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}}-type attacks as a result that a dual Water-type Pokémon with a type that resists Electric ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Dragon}} and Electric itself) wasn't introduced until Generation II and that Water/{{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon in which they would be immune wasn't introduced until Generation II either. In Generation V, both {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} have {{a|Lightningrod}} as a hidden ability are therefore would become immune to Electric-type attacks when they have this ability.

PikachuMonster: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Water type''' (Japanese: '''みずタイプ''' ''Water type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Water type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Wallace]] and [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis City]], [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]], [[Cress]] of [[Striaton City]], and [[Marlon]] of [[Humilau City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Water-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Water type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water type, with the exception of Magikarp and the Seismitoad evolution line, can use {{type|Ice}} moves to counter {{t|Grass}} types (although Magikarp can learn one {{type|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, and Seismitoad can learn Poison moves, which can also counter Grass types), and a small number of Water types such as {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Octillery}} and the {{p|Slowking}} evolutionary line are capable of learning the {{type|Fire}} moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} which are also capable of countering Grass types, {{t|Electric}} types are the only true threat to Water types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question have Abilities or subtypes that neutralize or nullifies this weakness. {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, and {{p|Seismitoad}} are all immune, via their secondary type, Ground. Others, such as the {{p|Lanturn}} evolutionary line, the {{p|Ludicolo}} evolutionary line, and {{p|Palkia}} have subtypes that are resistant to Electric.

Water types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

===Offense===
The Water type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Grass}} types, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Rock}} types when traveling through [[cave]]s, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water type in their [[party]]. Also, double weaknesses to Water are fairly common (largely due to the common Rock/Ground typing) while {{p|Kingdra|there}} {{p|Lotad|are}} {{p|Lombre|only}} {{p|Ludicolo|five}} {{p|Palkia|Pokémon}} that have a double resistance to Water (all of which are Water types themselves).

===Contest Properties===

When used in Contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|109|111 including the relative alternate forms of Castform and Rotom}} Water-type Pokémon or {{tt|16.80%|17.10%, including Castform and Rotom forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the most common of the seventeen types.

==Trivia==
* Water is the most abundant type, with 109 Pokémon species (111 counting {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Rotom}}), comprising nearly 17% of the entire known [[National Pokédex]]. This may be a reference to how water is the most abundant substance on Earth, and how the majority of all species of life live in water.
* Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters P and S.
* At least one dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon has been introduced in each generation.
* Every generation has introduced exactly one non-damaging Water-type move.
* Each possible type combination that is doubly weak to Water ({{2t|Rock|Ground}}, {{2t|Fire|Ground}}, and {{2t|Fire|Rock}}) has been used so far on at least one Pokémon. The same is true for {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Water has been paired with all types except for {{t|Fire}}. This means it has been paired with the highest number of types, tied with the {{t|Flying}} type.
* Water-type moves are tied with the {{t|Dragon}} type for having the most [[held item]]s that boost their power: {{DL|Incense|Sea Incense}}, {{DL|Incense|Wave Incense}}, {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate}}, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water}}, {{DL|Gem|Water Gem}}, and the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}}.
* The Water type has the most [[Gym Leader]]s of its type with a total of six.
** It is one of two types, the other being {{t|Electric}}, to have a Gym in every main series game so far.
* {{t|Ground}} is the type most commonly paired up with Water. Previously, Water/{{t|Ground}} was once [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique]] to {{p|Wooper}} and {{p|Quagsire}}.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 32 and Generation IV introduced the least Water-type Pokémon, with 14.
* Generation I introduced the most Water-type moves of any Generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the least Water-type moves, with three.
* The first dual Water type and the last dual Water type share the same secondary type: Fighting.
* The Water type is the only main series starter type that doesn't have a variation of {{m|Double-Edge}}: Fire has {{m|Flare Blitz}}, Grass has {{m|Wood Hammer}}, and {{t|Electric}} has {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
** Conversely, it is the only one of the four types with a variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}; in this case, being {{m|Aqua Jet}}.
* Before Generation V, All Generation I Water-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}}-type attacks as a result that a dual Water-type with a type that resists Electric ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Dragon}} and Electric itself) wasn't introduced until Generation II and that Water/{{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon in which they would be immune wasn't introduced until Generation II either. In Generation V, both {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} have {{a|Lightingrod}} as a hidden ability are therefore would become immune to Electric-type attacks when they have this ability.

PikachuMonster: /* Trivia */

{{types}}
The '''Ice type''' (Japanese: '''こおりタイプ''' ''Ice type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Ice-type Pokémon are [[Lorelei]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Pryce]] of [[Mahogany Town]], [[Glacia]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Candice]] of [[Snowpoint City]], and [[Brycen]] of [[Icirrus City]]. Prior to Generation IV, before which moves were designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move's type rather than the move itself, all Ice-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===

The Ice type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying weaknesses to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, making it weak to moves such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. Their sole resistance is nullified by {{p|Swinub|The}} {{p|Piloswine|Swinub}} {{p|Mamoswine|Family's}} {{t|Ground}}, {{p|Articuno}}'s and {{p|Delibird}}'s {{t|Flying}}, {{p|Snover|The}} {{p|Abomasnow|Snover}} line's {{t|Grass}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}'s Dragon. Even with a second type, all but two Ice-type Pokémon—{{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Rotom|Frost Rotom}}—have more weaknesses than resistances and immunities.

===Offense===
Offensive-wise, because only {{p|Empoleon|two}} {{p|Heatran|non-Ice types}}, which are {{t|Steel}} types, doubly resist Ice, and the fact that double weaknesses to Ice are fairly common (largely due to {{t|Dragon}} types, whose final forms are often doubly weak), Ice is, along with {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Fire}}, one of the most commonly used attacking types. Ice also pairs well with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type|Water}} Pokémon can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover their major weakness of {{t|Grass}}, as well as {{t|Dragon}}, which resists their moves.

Similarly, an Ice-type Pokémon can often use {{type|Water}} moves, which covers their weakness of Fire and Rock.

===Contest Properties===

When used in Contests, Ice-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while some may be [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|31|including forms of Castform and Rotom}} Ice-type Pokémon or 4.78% of all Pokémon, making it the fifteenth most common type, or effectively the third least common type ahead of the {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ghost}} types.

==Trivia==
* Although the Ice type existed since Generation I, pure Ice-type species were not introduced until [[Generation III]].
* In [[Generation III]], all Ice-type moves were [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves.
* Only the {{t|Normal}} type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice type, having no resistances (but one immunity). Ice only resists itself.
* All types that are weak to Ice have been combined with it on at least one Pokémon.
* There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member who specializes in the Ice type introduced in each generation. All three of the Ice-type [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Pryce]], [[Candice]], and [[Brycen]], are the seventh Gym Leaders in their respective region.
* Generation V introduced the most Ice-type Pokémon of any Generation, with {{tt|eight|including Rotom's Frost form}} and Generation II introduced the least Ice-type Pokémon, with five.
** Every Ice type introduced in Generation V is a pale blue color. It is the only generation in which this happens.
** Generation V also introduced the most pure Ice-types, with six new Pokémon. [[Generation III]] introduced three, [[Generation IV]] introduced one, while [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}} introduced none.
*** The {{p|Kyurem|only dual-type Ice-type}} Pokémon introduced in Generation V was a [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Ice is the only type that is super effective against {{type|Flying}}s that doesn't in turn resist {{type|Flying}} moves.
** In fact, it doesn't resist anything it is super effective against, with it only resisting itself.
* Ice-type attacks are resisted by all types that {{type|Water}} Pokémon resist.
* Generation I introduced the most Ice-type moves of any Generation, with six and Generation II introduced the least Ice-type moves, with two.
* Ice is the only type that can be triply resisted due to {{p|Dewgong}} and {{p|Sealeo}}'s evolutionary lines having double resistance, as well as the Ability {{a|Thick Fat}}.
* As of Generation V, There is yet to be a dual-type Ice Pokémon to be weak against {{t|Ground}}-type attacks. Even though {{p|Rotom}}'s frost form is dual {{t|Electric}}/Ice, it is immune to Ground-type attacks due to its {{a|levitate}} ability. However it can be removed if its ability was {{m|skill Swap}}ped or useless as a result of another Pokémon's ability

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tangela is covered with thick blue vines that obscure its face so only its eyes can be seen. The vines give it a round shape, although it is unknown what it looks like without them. The vines are covered in fine hair. It has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|pair of red boot-like feet}}, but no visible arms.

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

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

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

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

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Tangela was the only pure [[Grass type|Grass-type]] Pokémon to be introduced in [[Generation I]].
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tangela was originally known as "Meduza," a misspelling of the Greek mythological character {{wp|Medusa (mythology)|Medusa}}.
* Although it is said to live in plains, its [[Friend Area]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is the {{fa|Jungle}}. Also, its [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|Pal Park area]] is the Forest.
* Tangela and {{p|Tropius}} are the only two Pokémon that are not {{pkmn2|starter}}s or [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] of a previous generation unavailable in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. They must be transferred forward from a [[Generation III]] game or traded from {{game|Platinum}}.

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

====Name origin====
Tangela may be a combination of ''tangle'' and ''{{wp|Medusa}}'' (referring to its vines resembling a snake hairstyle like Medusa's).

Monjara may be based on もじゃもじゃ ''mojamoja'' (''shaggy'' or ''unkempt''). It may also include ''monster''.

'''Quagsire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌオー''' ''Nuoh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wooper}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Quagsire is a light blue {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}}, amphibious Pokémon. Its head is broad and round, having little of a neck to distinguish it from the rest of Quagsire's body. Quagsire's mouth is wide and its eyes are mere dots, giving it a look of simplicity. Quagsire has a wavy purple coloration on its back and a dark blue "fin" there that extends to its tail. Quagsire's arms have three fingers, and its legs have three toes.

====Gender differences====
The "fin" running down a female Quagsire's back is smaller than that of a male.

===Special abilities===
Despite being a Water-type Pokémon, Quagsire's Ground element allows it to harmlessly shrug off {{t|Electric}} attacks. Quagsire appear to be oblivious to pain, allowing them to frequently bump their heads while swimming without any adverse effects. It also has the ability to go long periods of time without food, affording it the luxury of waiting for its prey to come to it.

===Behavior===
Quagsire are quite carefree and relaxed, and so typically swim without paying much attention to their surroundings. Because of this, they tend to bump into boat hulls. Once a year, when the moon is full, wild Quagsire collect round objects like balls and swim to [[Blue Moon Falls]], where they attempt to shoot the balls to the top of a waterfall with their {{m|Water Gun}} attacks to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon. The day after, the objects float downstream and are considered to be blessed with luck from the Quagsire.

===Habitat===
[[File:Waters-edge Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Quagsire live in extremely clean bodies of freshwater and muddy swamps such as the [[Great Marsh]]. The presence of Quagsire in water is usually an excellent indicator that the water is very safe for consumption.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Quagsire hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its prey to blunder in unaware. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lisa Quagsire.png|thumb|220px|Quagsire in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Quagsire first appeared in ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]''. It stole the [[GS Ball]] from {{Ash}} for a festival.

A Quagsire has also appeared in ''[[AG096|Training Wrecks]]'', under the ownership of [[Rocky]]. Quagsire battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Grovyle}}, alongside a {{p|Walrein}}. Before Pikachu could nail Walrein with its {{t|Electric}} Attacks, Quagsire would protect Walrein from being shocked, due to its immunity to Electricity while Walrein's {{m|Ice Ball}} hit Grovyle and Pikachu hard, but after the Ice Ball went slower every turn, Pikachu and Grovyle defeated Walrein and Quagsire.

[[Crasher Wake]] owns a Quagsire, which appeared in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]''.

{{mov|Lisa}} had a Quagsire in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', and used it to battle {{Ash}} against his {{AP|Pikachu}}. After Pikachu landed on the head of Lisa's Quagsire head first, both Pokémon fainted.

A Quagsire appeared in ''[[EP192|The Wayward Wobbuffet]]'' swimming in a river when it encountered [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] which got lost and gave it directions.

==In the manga==
[[File:Wake Quagsire Adventures.png|thumb|120px|right|[[Crasher Wake]]'s Quagsire as seen in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Quagsire is first seen as one of the Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} captured and sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} via the Portable Transfer System. She remarked that she found it on {{rt|32|Johto}} and was "a tad stronger than I expected."

Much later, [[Crasher Wake]] is seen in possession of a Quagsire, and uses it to defeat [[Platinum's Empoleon]] before falling to a {{m|Giga Drain}} from {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{p|Torterra}}, [[Tru]] (which Platinum borrowed after she was unable to catch a single grass Pokémon in the [[Great Marsh]]). This won {{adv|Platinum}} the match.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC Appearances===
[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]: Quagsire appears as the landlord of Post Town as well as an important character in the storyline. The player's partner buys land from him at the beginning of the game that would become the headquarters for the player's exploration team. He also runs an area similar to the [[Chimecho Assembly]] from the previous games. Like some members of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], he has a catchphrase, which is "hmm". He is also responsible for dealing with captured outlaws, much like {{p|Magnezone}} before him. He is known to be a hard taskmaster to these Pokémon.

==Trivia==
*Despite Quagsire's Pokédex entry from Ash's Pokédex in ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]'' stating that Quagsire live in fresh, clean, drinkable water, Quagsire appear in the [[Great Marsh]] and {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}, both marshy areas.

===Origin===
Quagsire appears to be based on {{wp|Giant Salamanders}}, the family of that includes both the {{wp|Japanese giant salamander|Japanese}} or {{wp|Chinese giant salamander|Chinese}} species and the {{wp|Hellbender}}.

====Name origin====
Quagsire is a combination of ''{{wp|bog|quagmire}}'' (NOT to be confused with the {{wp|Glenn Quagmire|''Family Guy'' character}}) and the honorific ''sire'' or {{wp|Siren (genus)|Siren}} (a genus of salamander).

== Quick Question, TCG ==

I have a Celebi card and I want to add the info in it's own article. I'm slightly new here so I don't know much about creating TCG articles. What's confusing me though is the broken link on this page. When I go about creating the page should I make a sort of disambiguation page in case that there is more than 1 type of Celebi card? Or should I just make the page go right to a single card? I may not have phrased that right but hopefully somebody understands what I'm tying to ask. Help please. [[User:Zabbethx|Zabbethx]] 13:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

:The chances are your Celebi card already has its own article here, as we have articles on every English language Pokémon card in existence. A list of all Celebi cards can be found {{TCG|Celebi|here}}, and your card is very likely to be there. [[User:Cipher|Cipher]] 19:08, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Fabu-Vinny. All artwork from Nintendo is official. Nintendo owns the copyrights and the franchise. The artist doesn’t. What’s inconsistent? Not using the same style as the character was originally drawn in from their first appearance, or not using the same artwork from one artist only? What it comes down to is you are splitting hairs. Any artwork officially recognized by Nintendo is acceptable. From a regular person’s point of view any good artwork would be acceptable, but it is a good policy to stay on Nintendo’s good side and use only official images.

== Avalibility ==

I keep hearing that you can get every Pokémon on to Diamond/Pearl except Celebi, but the article says that PKMN Colosseum's Japanese bonus disk allows you to get it, why do I keep seeing that? [[User:GuyNamedSean|GuyNamedSean]] 10:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== Shining Celebi? ==

Can you even have a Shining Celebi? Cause I don't think you can catch it in Gen 3 or 4 games (eliminating the 1/8,192 chance or whatever..). And all event Celebi have been non-shiny. Right? So how did my friend get a shiny Celebi? Was there a shiny event Celebi? [[User:Sivart345|Sivart345]] 17:06, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

If the sprites are in the game, the shiny form exists. Therefore, there are shiny celebis and jirachis. They just have not been able to be legitimately caught yet.

:::::
I'm refering to triva not the whole page

Yes but what I mean is avid pokemon fan go to the top fan sites regularly and will already know about there mascot and any one who would not know would most likely not be a person who cares or is a serous fan. If you don't know about serebii then your not a serous fan because the site is made for up to date news and in depth info about pokemon for people who care about that kind of stuff.

Also if they have there own article then why not have it in it's respective article as it's own trivia instead of in a pokemon article were it's irrelevant to the pokemon's info?--[[User:Riggins|Riggy(>0.0)>]] 03:23, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
:It is relevant to the Pokemon though. Out of 492 others, that one has been chosen. And I get the picture that you are insinuating we do not have articles or include any information about things that are common knowledge to fanboys. This is absolutely not the case.

Actually, there were only 251 Pokémon when Celebi was chosen as the mascot. I think it's still worth keeping, but I've moved it to the bottom of the Trivia because it's the least important.

For some reason, I am unable to edit any Pokémon pages, so can someone please change this, "Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue." It should be, "Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet; three-fingered hands; and clear wings on its back.

== Um... regarding the Name Origin... ==

It's getting a bit out of hand, to say the least. I didn't just go ahead and do it for fear of starting an edit war, but can we ''please'' get rid of the Celi Bee nonsense? It's completely irrelevant. I think maybe we could change Celebi's Name Origin section to say something like this:

"There are many possibilities as to where Celebi's name originated, but it is most likely taken from [insert most likely name origins for Celebi here]."

Does anyone have any other suggestions? [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 21:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Game Location ==

I have a Monster Brain which shows the GS Ball in Crystal (English version). I have tried that and the Teru-sama in the corresponding slot of Gold (English version) and neither work. Wikipedia has stated that the GS Ball will ''never'' work in the English version of Crystal because the routines required for the event were left out of all non-Japanese language versions. Unfortunately, they have watered-down their Pokémon entries so much they now only state that it cannot be caught, but not why. I have just confirmed this one last time. Mention has been made in other articles that hackers have successfully caught a celebi in this manner. What do the hackers hack? ROMs? If it only works in ROMs, say so. I don’t think ROM hacks are supposed to count on Bulbapedia anyway, are they? [[User:White Phoenix|White Phoenix]] 07:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Celebi learns a move every nine levels after level 10, is this notable. A common occurance among many legendaries {{unsigned|Stephen Keane}}

== Please Explain? ==

I just saw this

"Celebi is the last Pokémon in the Johto Pokédex and Hoenn Pokédex, although in the latter, Celebi is not shown."

what is the point of the hoenn part? lol
it is the last and isn't shown? {{unsigned|Water type Master}}
:All Pokémon in Generation III have a Hoenn Pokédex number, but they are not shown in the Pokédex. If the game is modified so that you can catch Celebi before obtaining the national dex, or if one is received via an event, then it will display a Hoenn Pokédex number. That is what these are. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

== Proposed edit? ==

Can I mention in its opening paragraph at the top of the page "Celebi is widely regarded as the rarest Pokémon of all time, due to the fact not many events and giveaways have been held for it, and [rarely/never] outside Japan" or something?? I think it'd be appropriate, but maybe it's not necessary? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 14:19, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

== Why wouldn't it be notable? ==

Had a recent edit to the trivia undone. I put that Celebi was the first Pokémon to manipulate time, the second being Dialga, but Celebi can only travel through time, not control it. This power belongs to Dialga. If this isn't worth noting, then should the same trivia that was listed in Dialga's trivia should be removed too? Because Celebi was the FIRST Pokémon to have something to do with time so to think that trivia would've been listed in Celebi's trivia too. Several other pages that are related have the same thing listed in their trivia as well. Such as the Latios and Lucario being first and second Pokémon respectively to die in the movies. Explain why worth not noting Celebi being the first to manipulate time (but only travels through it), second being Dialga? (Who controls time) This info is true and not speculation after all. --[[User:Brats817|Brats817]] 23:51, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I see someone removed the one in the Dialga trivia too. The thing that said "Dialga was the second Pokémon to manipulate time, first being Celebi" thing. So I guess it wasn't notable in the first place. I would've thought it was notable, but meh. --[[User:Brats817|Brats817]] 23:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

:::::Yep, Celebi is called a Maboroshi ("Phantom") Pokémon and Raikou is Densetsu (Legendary). Those are two different terms for Legendaries in Japanese versions (which exists since ever, in the anime too), with Densetsu referring to the lower-class legendaries (like the Trios), although I'm not sure about precise definition. English version has never distinguished those two terms before, they just called all Legendaries "Legendary Pokemon". So, this is the first time when such distinction appears in English version. Can someone make a list which Pokemon are described as "Rare" and which ones are "Legendary" in Ranger 3? That would prove helpful.

The only Rare one is Celebi, and there are also Mewtwo and Regigigas which are owned by the evil team, and don't display that Legendary/Rare thing (so we can't say anything about them, almost until I unlock the rebattle feature, when perhaps they will no longer belong to the evil team).

== Reply to Name Origin ==

In my experience with the Japanese Language(orally), "Serubi" 'should' sound like Seravee, which I believe is actually one of the name's of the Angels of the Angel Caste System in Christianity/Celestial Being. The name Seravee and Cerubi are similar in pronounciation. I say this because the correct spelling in Japanese of "Celebi" is "Serubi". This is because the "R" is replaced with "L" and the "V" in English is replaced with "B" in the Japanese when speaking foreign names. Like Seravee, Celebi protects and acts as a guardian of the "Holy" grounds of the forest/garden. I'm saying this is probably The most possible answer to the Origin of Celebi's Name. Not serenity or Celery + bii/beautiful. Take Gardevoir for example, its name is Sir Knight but the spelling is a bit off. Usually the Japanese names and the way they are spelled reflect what they are supposed to sound in English. For example, Piplup's name is Pochama. "B's and "P's" is replaced to reflect Bochama, which is a term that is used with Nobility, such as a Prince or a young male master of the house (or mansion). This reflects it's personality in the anime of being a young arrogant spoiled prince as the Pipulop evolves into an "Emperor" Penguin. Why did Pochama translate into Piplup I have absolutely no idea.....

'''Thunder''' (Japanese: '''かみなり''' ''Lightning'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM25]] in all [[generation]]s so far.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Thunder deals damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.

===Generation II===
Thunder has 100% accuracy when used during heavy rain, and has 50% accuracy if used during bright sunlight. It also has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target. It can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}}.

===Generation III===
Same as previous generations, but also deals double damage on a Pokémon using {{m|Bounce}}.

===Generation IV===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} it has a 30% chance to penetrate through {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} when used in heavy rain, but not in {{game|Platinum}} onwards.

===Generation V===
Thunder is guaranteed to hit the target in rain regardless of the user's accuracy drops or the target's evasion boosts.

==Trivia==
* In some copies of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, using Thunder or {{m|Thunderbolt}} [[List of glitches in Generation III#Thunder glitch|may cause]] the [[game freeze|game to freeze]] during the moves' animation sequences. This can be remedied by turning off the [[battle animation]]s in the options menu.
** In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, the sound of Thunder or Thunderbolt may get stuck until the game resets.
* The Japanese name of this move, かみなり ''Kaminari'', can refer to both '''thunder''' and '''lightning'''. This explains the inaccuracy in the English name, as {{wp|thunder}} is the sound produced from {{wp|lightning}}, the {{wp|electrostatic discharge}} that the move refers to. A similar situation occurs with {{m|ThunderPunch}}.
* The number of the [[TM]] for Thunder is the same number as the [[National Pokédex]] number of {{p|Pikachu}}—the first Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|by National Pokédex order]] that is able to learn it by leveling up.
* サンダー ''Thunder'' is the Japanese name of {{p|Zapdos}}.
* Both Thunder and {{m|Hurricane}} never miss during {{DL|weather conditions|heavy rain}}. This may be in relation to {{wp|thunderstorm}}s.
** {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Pokémon that can learn both moves.

'''Thunder''' (Japanese: '''かみなり''' ''Lightning'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM25]] in all [[generation]]s so far.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Thunder deals damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.

===Generation II===
Thunder has 100% accuracy when used during heavy rain, and has 50% accuracy if used during bright sunlight. It also has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target. It can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}}.

===Generation III===
Same as previous generations, but also deals double damage on a Pokémon using {{m|Bounce}}.

===Generation IV===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} it has a 30% chance to penetrate through {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} when used in heavy rain, but not in {{game|Platinum}} onwards.

===Generation V===
Thunder is guaranteed to hit the target in rain regardless of the user's accuracy drops or the target's evasion boosts.

==Trivia==
* In some copies of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, using Thunder or {{m|Thunderbolt}} [[List of glitches in Generation III#Thunder glitch|may cause]] the [[game freeze|game to freeze]] during the moves' animation sequences. This can be remedied by turning off the [[battle animation]]s in the options menu.
** In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, the sound of Thunder or Thunderbolt may get stuck until the game resets.
* The Japanese name of this move, かみなり ''Kaminari'', can refer to both '''thunder''' and '''lightning'''. This explains the inaccuracy in the English name, as {{wp|thunder}} is the sound produced from {{wp|lightning}}, the {{wp|electrostatic discharge}} that the move refers to. A similar situation occurs with {{m|ThunderPunch}}.
* The number of the [[TM]] for Thunder is the same number as the [[National Pokédex]] number of {{p|Pikachu}}—the first Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|by National Pokédex order]] that is able to learn it by leveling up.
* サンダー ''Thunder'' is the Japanese name of {{p|Zapdos}}.
* Both Thunder and {{m|Hurricane}} never miss during {{DL|weather conditions|heavy rain}}. This may be in relation to {{wp|thunderstorm}}s.
** {{p|Dragonite}} is the only Pokémon that can learn both moves.

'''Conversion 2''' (Japanese: '''テクスチャー２''' ''Texture 2'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is a [[signature move]] of the {{p|Porygon}} [[evolution family]].

==Effect==
===Generation II-IV===
Conversion 2 will change the user's current [[type]] to a type that either resists or is immune to the type of the last damaging move it was hit by. An example would be if the foe's Pokémon used [[Thunderbolt (move)|Thunderbolt]] in which is an {{type|Electric}} move that was the last attack to hit the user's Pokémon, then that Pokémon will change to a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.


===Generation V===
Conversion 2 now changes the user's type to make it resist the last move the target used.

An example would be if the foe's Pokémon used Thunderbolt in which is an {{type|Electric}} move that was the last attack to hit the user's Pokémon, then that Pokémon will change to a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.


===Generation V===
Conversion 2 now changes the user's type to make it resist the last move the target used.

The '''second generation''' of Pokémon games, sometimes called the '''metal generation''', or the '''metallic generation''' by older players due to the names of the paired [[version]]s, is a sequel to the [[Generation I]] games {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}.

Beginning with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver]] and later joined by [[Pokémon Crystal]], Generation II began the Pokémon series's expansion-focused nature, introducing to the world {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}} which did not exist and are unable to be obtained in the Generation I games and the new region of [[Johto]]. Many of these Pokémon expand the [[evolution]] families of older Pokémon, while a majority of them are brand-new evolutionary families.

The initial hint that Generation II was on its way came in early 1997, with the release of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s first episode. A Pokémon appears to [[Ash Ketchum]] on the first day of his journey, shortly after he and {{AP|Pikachu}} become friends, that cannot be identified by the [[Pokédex]]. This magnificent golden bird, later revealed to be the legendary [[version mascot|mascot]] of Gold Version, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, was the first Pokémon from a future generation to debut in the anime. The games, initially named directly as "Pocket Monsters 2", were set for release in late 1997, but were pushed back to 1999 with the intention to redevelop the games to work with the [[Game Boy Color]] better.

Details in the games indicate that the story line of the Generation II games occurs three years after the one in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], while the story line of the [[Sinnoh]]-based [[Generation IV]] games indicate that they occur similarly contemporaneously to Generation II as Generation I does to Generation III.

==Advances in gameplay==
In addition to retaining the system from Generation I in almost every aspect, several key innovations were made to the series, most of which have been retained in every generation since.

===Major additions include===
* The introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 251. Several are [[list of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms of]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions of]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, while others are their own evolutionary lines.
* The addition of 86 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 251 as well.
* The addition of two new [[type]]s, the {{type|Dark}} and {{type|Steel}}, to balance out the over-powerful {{type|Psychic}} and the underused {{type|Fighting}}.
* A new region to explore, [[Johto]], in addition to [[Kanto|the Generation I region]], with the latter accessible after the [[Elite Four]] have been defeated. Johto has its own set of eight new [[Gym]]s and [[Gym Leader]]s to defeat, while the Elite Four has changed in three years.
* [[Gender]]s for Pokémon, opening up the ability for two Pokémon to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} if they are [[Egg Group|similar enough]].
* Two additional boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], which now includes the ability to move Pokémon directly between boxes, bringing Pokémon storage to 280.
* A new [[player character]], {{ga|Ethan}}.
* Seven new types of [[Poké Ball]], all made from [[Apricorn|special fruit]] found in Johto.
* A built-in clock, allowing for in-game events to be affected by the [[time]] of day and the [[days of the week]].
* [[Shiny Pokémon]], which sparkle when brought into battle.
* [[Baby Pokémon]], most of them pre-evolutions of Generation I Pokémon.
* [[Friendship]], introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, becomes a stat used by all Pokémon.
* Pokémon can now [[held item|hold items]] and use them in battle.
* A special [[Pokérus|Pokémon virus]] is introduced that boosts stats.
* Inheritance of a Pokémon's [[Individual values|IVs]] from its parents.

===Major alterations from Generation I include===
* A change in the types of four moves ({{m|Gust}}, {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, and {{m|Bite}}). All formerly {{type|Normal}}, they are now {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, respectively.
* The addition of {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type for {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}.
* An improved [[stats|stat]] system, with the former Special stat being split into Special Attack and Special Defense.
* The [[Bag]] is no longer one 20-item container, but has four separate sections for different items: Normal items, [[Poké Ball]]s, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and [[key item]]s.
* A key item can be set to and then subsequently accessed with the select button, for convenience on the field.
* Opponent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are given individual names.
* {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share|Exp. All}} is upgraded into the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} and is made a held item.
** The definition of "upgrade" and not "replacement" in this situation is due to the items having the same name in the Japanese versions, suggesting an improvement on the item's mechanism and not necessarily a complete and independent substitute.
* [[Town Map]] is replaced with an electronic device, the [[Pokégear]], which also has cellphone and radio capabilities, alongside map functions.
* The type chart has changed somewhat from Generation I:

===Further additions in {{game|Crystal}} include===
* A female choice for the player, {{ga|Kris}}.
* Animations for all Pokémon when encountered or when sent from their Poké Balls.

==Regions==
===Johto===
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|Johto]]
{{main|Johto}}
Generation II introduced a new region to the Pokémon universe, Johto, located directly west of the Kanto region featured in Generation I. Johto's culture is notably more old-fashioned than Kanto's, especially in the more rural areas, which are more plentiful than in Kanto. Like Kanto, it has a sea to the south and mountains to the north.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starter Pokémon introduced in Generation II follow the same {{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}}-{{t|Water}} alignment as those of Kanto. Despite this, they are not the same trio as in Generation I. Instead, [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30|Johto}}.

Unlike other generations, where the first Gym is strong against the Fire-type and weak to Grass and Water, in this generation, the first Gym is strong against Grass, while Fire and Water both have an opening. Also, Pokémon available can cover for the weaknesses of the starter types very early on in the game, unlike in Generation I.

====Gym Leaders====
Johto's [[Gym Leader]]s specialize in types different from Kanto's Gym Leaders, with eight of the nine types not covered by Kanto being the specialty types of these Gyms. Like Kanto, these Gym Leaders will give out [[Badge]]s and [[TM]]s on their defeat.

{{-}}

===Kanto===
[[File:KantoII.png|thumb|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
Unlike later games in the series, the Generation II games offer the player the chance, once Johto's Gyms are conquered and the Elite Four is defeated, to return to the Kanto region where the [[Generation I]] games are set. Here, players will find that many things have changed over the past three years.

====Gym Leaders====
Unlike in Generation I, the Gym Leaders of Generation II Kanto will for the most part not give away TMs; only [[Janine]] and [[Erika]] do this.

==Discussion of Generation II==
{{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were among the most-hyped games in the Pokémon franchise, with the innovations introduced in them becoming staples of the series. The later-released {{game|Crystal}} began the series' focus on [[legendary Pokémon]] of the regions in which the games take place, first bringing them into the plot of the game. Due to these improvements, Generation II is highly acclaimed among long-time fans. Unlike future games, Generation II stood as an extension and a sequel of Generation I, and has been criticized by some for this.

Like Generation I's games, the popularity of the Generation II games proved great enough that {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|remakes|s}} were made during [[Generation IV]] as sequels to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

=== Johto thematic motif ===
The second generation of Pokémon games were more directed towards mythology and tradition. The three starters were all "pure" element types, fitting the classic Water > Grass > Fire cycle all starters adhere to. Unlike two of the fully-evolved starter Pokémon in Generation I, and at least one of every starter trio since, the fully-evolved Johto starters maintain their single typing.

This was the first installment that put emphasis on [[legendary Pokémon]] being actual legends in-game, in contrast to {{p|Mewtwo}} and the [[legendary birds]] of Generation I. [[Ecruteak City]] fleshed out the legends of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and [[legendary beasts|the three beasts]], their relationship with one another and the story behind their departure (the [[Burned Tower]]). {{p|Suicune}} was, unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, unavoidable in Crystal Version if the player wanted to beat the game; the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver give the same treatment to Ho-Oh and {{p|Lugia}} respectively. Lugia was also glimpsed by an elderly man in Ecruteak City, and others, who stated it looked like a dragon in the sky. Even the uncatchable {{p|Celebi}} was mentioned as the "Forest's Protector" at the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].

The [[Kimono Girl]]s upheld ancient tradition in both battling Pokémon and dancing. The buildings in both Ecruteak City and [[Violet City]] have an older structure to them as well. The player must navigate Johto and Kanto, beating the new Elite Four, sixteen Gym Leaders and the original [[Pokémon Champion]] {{ga|Red}}. This is after defeating the newly revitalized [[Team Rocket]], searching for the fallen [[Giovanni]]. The second generation expanded upon trading through use of [[held item]]s evolution through the addition of [[friendship]], and {{pkmn|breeding}} to attain pre-evolution or baby Pokémon. Kurt offered a more traditional means of creating Poké Balls via [[Apricorn]]s which proved variably superior to manufactured Poké Balls. Johto is physically connected to Kanto and these games added depth to both regions.

==Trivia==
* Generation II is the smallest generation so far with only [[Pokémon games#Generation_II|seven]] games and three [[main series]] games.
** In addition, it introduced the least number of Pokémon to the series, with only 100.
* Generation II is the only generation where:
** The starters are holding an [[Berry|item]] and remain {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} throughout their evolutions.
** The total number of moves are equal to the total number of Pokémon at the time.
** Each Pokémon has a different sprite in the original pair of games (except for {{p|Unown}} and a few others).
** [[Fossil]]s cannot be found. However, an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained through an [[in-game trade]].
** A Dragon-type pseudo-legendary was not introduced.
** A two-stage, cat-like evolutionary line was not introduced.
** New types were introduced.
* In terms of release dates, Generation II is the shortest generation in Japan, with exactly three years between the release of Gold and Silver and Ruby and Sapphire. All other generations have had closer to four years between the release of their primary version pair and the primary pair of the next generation.
* Generation II leaves the least extra space for Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Storage System}} if one of every species is caught. Only {{tt|280|270 Pokémon in the Japanese versions due to differences in storage.}} Pokémon may be obtained at once; there are 251 different Pokémon species available in this generation.
* Generation II features the first main series game, Crystal, whose Japanese title is in katakana only ''and'' that uses an English word, rather than using the Japanese counterpart word in kanji. No game since has been named in kanji.
* Unlike other Generations, should player use a cheat in Generation II game to get into tall grass without a Pokémon, the fight will instantly end (and be treated as victory in case of Trainers), instead of sending a glitch Pokémon.

PikachuMonster: Ghost did resist bug moves in Gen I

{{merge|Type}}
A '''type chart''' shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] [[type]]s when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type. Please note that this only covers single types, not pairs. To get a dual-type Pokémon's matchup against a specific move type, go across the table's columns to each of the types, see what the effectiveness of the move is against both, and multiply the effectiveness together: in this way a {{type|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of its normal damage. The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of {{pkmn|games}} it is from.

===Dual-type Pokémon glitch===
While the above chart applies for dual-type Pokémon, with {{t|Grass}} doing neutral damage to a {{p|Gyarados}} for instance, the wrong message is often displayed in [[Generation I]]. In this example, the game erroneously states that the attack is "not very effective...".

The game prioritises on which message to display for each 'special' scenario (where normal damage is not dealt) based on each scenario's internal ordering. The higher the ordering determines what message the game will display. Grass against Water as 200% damage for instance is the 4th entry, whilst Grass against Flying as 50% damage is the 27th. Consequently in this example the game chooses the message for scenario #27, returning the wrong message "It's not very effective..." <ref>[http://www.dragonflycave.com/experimentation.aspx "Experimentation | The Cave of Dragonflies"]</ref>

This glitch does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

If an attack is super effective or not very effective against one type and does no damage against another type (for example, {{m|Dig}} against {{p|Charizard}}), the game will erroneously state that the attack missed.

==Differences==
The biggest difference between the two charts is the addition of the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types to the second chart. Among relationships that were already in the chart, {{t|Bug}} was made ½× effective against {{t|Poison}} instead of 2×, and Poison was changed from 2× to 1× against Bug. Ghost was made 2× against {{t|Psychic}}, as opposed to 0×. Also, {{t|Ice}} was adjusted to deal ½× damage to {{t|Fire}} as opposed to 1×.

==Routes==

I'm not so sure that a Gen V game ''has'' to start its Route numbering system from 301 just because Hoenn and Sinnoh use a similar method. A Gen V or so game could actually link two previously known regions. There are still Routes 47-100 and Routes 135-200 still unaccounted for. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 15:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:Indeed. Not only is there no precedent or fundamental reason to believe it will be the case, the contrary is more likely to occur. Hoenn and Sinnoh are based on Kyushu and Hokkaido, respectively, which are the only islands in Japan - other than Honshu - arguably big enough to be adapted as regions. By this I am suggesting that Generation V is more likely to revisit Honshu, of which there are plenty of as-yet unexplored territories. If that were to happen, the numbering system would no doubt pick up from Route 47, regardless of whether Kanto or Johto were included in the game.

:Some might also argue that Shikoku, which is another Japanese island, is not too small to serve as the basis of a new region. Supposing that they had a point, the numbering system would still be likely to pick up either from Route 47 or Route 135, due to Shikoku's proximity to both Honshu (in particular the area encompassed in Johto) and Kyushu.

:Those are really the only possibilities involving Japan, and the pattern does suggest that Generation V will be based there. It is important to remember that the transition to Hoenn and then to Sinnoh entailed exploring new territories far enough from previous regions. Now that both Hoenn and Sinnoh are familiar places, that can no longer be done within Japan. -[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

==About Arceus==

"The legendary pokemon are more powerful in new generations. With Arceus as the god Pokemon of the universe, it would be hard to make a stronger one."
I HATE this argument. Just because it is credited with creating everything does NOT make it omnipotent, or unsurpassable in any other way. Technically, it's only been known to do one thing, and that's creating other pokemon (Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf) which in turn did all the work of creating the universe. And it's arguable that legendary pokemon are mor powerful in each generation (until Arceus, I don't think even the base stats of them were ever improved upon much-- are Groudon and Kyogre that much more powerful than Ho-oh and Lugia?). I'd say their powers and range of influence are just made "cooler", and I doubt Game Freak would be at a loss for that-- Many other fundamental aspects of the universe still have no legendary pokemon to call their own, like life and death. I'm not saying that this argument should be deleted from this page; after all, this is about the fandom, and many fans have the opinion "ARceuS Is gOD!!!1! ZOmG GameFreaKs caNT FoLlow Taht up!!!1!!!!!111!"
I just think it should be rephrased, maybe as "Some people argue that because Arceus created the Pokemon world, Gamefreak would have difficulty making a more awesome pokemon next generation in order to maintain interest in the franchise." Something like that. Any thoughts? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 23:15, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I dont think that arceus is directly referred to as a god but his ability to create the three dietic dragons and the three lake gaurdians make his ability '''DIVINE'''(like all other legendaries), so there's no point of dubbing him as a god. And that would be offensive to religions, so nintendo would've thought of that point before approving of arceus'release to the fourth generation.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 18:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

::I'm no longer arguing that it isn't a "god" (as the word itself is quite vague. All I was saying is that the assumption that Game Freak won't be able to come up with something more powerful, as well as the assumption that they have to with each new generation, are both misconceptions. And again, as this is about the fandom's opinion, and many are of the belief that Nintendo has to do both of these things to make a new generation (and that they couldn't if they wanted to), I think the amended wording suits it fine. {{unsigned|AndyPKMN}}

if the gap between routes complete a full number sequence, that means that between johto and hoenn there are most probably two generations, between hoenn and sinnoh there are about four generations, of course if I take this ''if each region has about 27 playable routes'', of course its an assumption but good point to be mentioned if the numbering counts. yet there's the problem of the pokémon world's route numbering system which could exist as some kind of government policy, if it exists.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 13:43, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

:Not to mention that, if a new generation's [[country]] includes a route number starting right after the last route number of another country, that would heavily imply that said other country is accessible in the game. For example, if [[Generation V]]'s country were to begin at Route 49, that would imply that at least [[Johto]] is accessible in the main games of that generation. [[Hoenn]] began at 101, [[Sinnoh]] began at 201, and the [[Sevii Islands]] did not number their routes, all to avoid these implications.

:(For the record, yes, there is a precedent for [[Route 47]] going west from {{ci|Cianwood}} when [[Route 46]] is on the eastern side of the country.

==Could be a new handheld==

I did not know where else to put this so... I was just reading NGamer(uk 46) and it has an artical on page 6 about what Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said in an interview with japanese newspaper Ashi Shimbun. They report that when asked about a future generation of handhelds he apparently said that that the new consol would have "highly detailed graphics, and it will be necessary to have a sensor with the ability to read the movements of people playing". With earlier reports of Nvidia working on a chipset for Nintendo, and Game Freak advertising a while back for a 3D artist (or something), I believe that the 5th gen of Pokémon is close and we may even see sneek previews of the next handheld by the end of the year, sounds to me as if they are working on it by now (could even be in testing as NGamer have a ''mock'' picture of what they believe is in the works). {{unsigned|011384mm}}

I Think that if they ARE Going to remake Ruby and Sapphire in Gen. V, then they would have to do remakes of FR/LG, because FR/LG have the exact same quality as Ruby/Sapphire. And then, they would probably have to remake DP in Generation VI, if there ever will be a Generation VI.Should there be a Generation VI
in 2013 or whenever (2013 is my best guess, or 2014), then there would have to be more remakes of HGSs.Then, in an seemingly unlikely Generation VII, would come reremakes of FRLG and RS, and then the first remakes of the Generation V Games.I See all these, except the First remakes of RS, unlikely.[[User:Brock*PWN*|Brock*PWN*]] 17:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Zoroark debuted before Gen V in the Anime, if the movies count.. Which is likely as Manaphy and Lucario are mentioned. --[[User:JasonTongRulz|♪ Jason Tong ♪]] 08:40, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

== Japan? ==

It states that all regions have been based on places in Japan.. but Isshu is based off of New York. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 01:21, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

== Myth busted ==

Since NOBODY went above a base stat total of 680 in the 5th Gen, and since Arceus is still the only one to go higher than that, using Arceus as evidence against future generations is now false. If Arceus were still credible evidence to use Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, AND Genesect would have a base stat total of 720 or higher, so that disproves the superseding part of each generation. Even in terms of backstory they did absolutely nothing to Arceus's title, as they technically didn't create [i]anything[/i]. Reshiram and Zekrom simply have either Good or Evil personalities respectively that got into arguements with eachother to repeat Groudon and Kyogre except nothing real "special", Kyurem is a derp until we get the potential Gray version and find out what it really is, and Genesect is simply another Mewtwo. Due to this, a 6th Generation is highly possible still, as nobody superseded the 4th Gen in terms of backstories. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 17:06, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

WHY whould ANYONE think they'll remake FR?LG?!?! That'll be so much of a waste of resources since they already remade Kanto once and they don't need SEVEN games for that, as they can simply put all the Kanto and Johto legendaries in Hoenn like they did with most of the Legendaries in HG/SS. Game Freak seems to be wanting a full reboot here, something that will NOT be accomplished with FR/LG remakes. You'd get a better result with Hoenn remakes than that for goodness sakes, since the FR/LG remakes are TOTAL speculation unlike the Hoenn remakes, which actually have more wait to them (For instance, Dive is an HM again).

::Heck that entire section in the article is total speculation to begin with. Who put that there anyways??? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 17:37, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Outdated and Actively Incorrect Content ==

While this page *was* accurate, the section on the new generations coming out with a new system (paraphrasing heavily) is, obviously, conclusively false at this point. Id like to either remove the statement, or amend it, but considering how much controversy this sort of page has the potential to cause, I don't want to do so without greater input.

Didn't the 3DS come out with Gen V? I'm new, but there's so much here I can't find any mainspace to edit!

==New Pokémon types?==
I notice that even since Generation II was released that no new Pokémon types were introduced, I just wondering if there is going ever to be new types of Pokémon (e.g. Tropical) to be introduced from Generation VI onwards?
