'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pika-parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes. Unlike [[electric rodents]], {{t|Electric}}-types are not a requirement but they must meet the criteria of being part of an evolution line.

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

The Marill-line all receive {{t|Fairy}} as [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|their secondary-type]] during [[Generation VI]], though later in [[Generation VII]], the Pikachu-line received a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Psychic}} [[Regional form|regional]] [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]] in form of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total. Although they are similar, they are mutually-exclusive in regional Pokédex appearances until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon#Changes|Minccino and Cinccino's inclusion in]] [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|the alternate Alola Pokédex]].

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

==Similar Pokémon==
{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing the [[electric rodents]]. The Japanese web page for the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

However, unlike Pikachu or its parallels, Mimikyu is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. Instead, Mimikyu [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Mimikyu|changes forms]] from Disguised Form into Busted Form when it is hit by an attack.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Pichu}} and the {{p|Marill}} evolution line are the only Pokémon in the category not designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].
* Raichu is the only parallel rodent to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
** As such, Pikachu is the only parallel rodent to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched Evolution]].
** Minccino is the only parallel rodent which stayed single-type in its final form, due to Alolan Raichu being dual-typed.
* Pikachu and Alolan Raichu are the only parallel rodents with unique [[Z-Move]]s ({{m|Catastropika}} for Pikachu, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} for Alolan Raichu).
* Alolan Raichu is the only parallel rodent with its [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
* Minccino and Cinccino are the only parallel rodents that are still part of a two-stage evolutionary line.
* Azurill and the Minccino line are the only parallel rodents to have a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to three females|one male to three females]].
* While {{p|Marill}} was the first parallel rodent [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|to be dual-type]] since [[Generation VI]], {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the first new parallel rodents to have dual-type upon introduction. {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, introduced after Marill's type change, is also dual-type.
* {{p|Cinccino}} is the only fully-evolved parallel rodent to not have type advantage over another, as {{p|Pawmot}} has type advantage over Cinccino.
** Pawmot and {{p|Azumarill}} have type advantage on each other, while both forms of Raichu have type advantage over Azumarill.
** Azumarill and Alolan Raichu have type advantages over Pawmot, making Pawmot the only fully-evolved parallel rodent with two type weaknesses from others.

===Origin===
The concept of similar rodent-like Pokémon sharing the similar design elements and having the capabilities to evolve resembles the {{wp|parallel evolution}} in {{wp|evolution|evolutionary biology}}, both of which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.

* {{p|Cinccino}} is the only fully-evolved parallel rodent to not have type advantage over another, as {{p|Pawmot}} has type advantage over Cinccino.
** Pawmot and {{p|Azumarill}} have type advantage on each other, while both forms of Raichu have type advantage over Azumarill.
** Azumarill and Alolan Raichu have type advantages over Pawmot, making Pawmot the only fully-evolved parallel rodent with two type weaknesses from others.

===Origin===
The concept of similar rodent-like Pokémon having the capabilities to evolve resembles the {{wp|parallel evolution}} in {{wp|evolution|evolutionary biology}}, both of which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.

SpecialStageRoute: /* List of parallel rodents */

{{fan speculation}}

'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pika-parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes. Unlike [[electric rodents]], {{t|Electric}}-types are not a requirement but they must meet the criteria of being part of an evolution line.

[[Atsuko Nishida]] was responsible for designing eight of the parallel rodents, namely {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}},<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=GameFreak>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref> {{p|Minccino}}, {{p|Cinccino}},<ref name="Atsuko">''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu,<ref>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon."

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

The Marill-line all receive {{t|Fairy}} as [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|their secondary-type]] during [[Generation VI]], though later in [[Generation VII]], the Pikachu-line received a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Psychic}} [[Regional form|regional]] [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution]] in form of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total. Although they are similar, they are mutually-exclusive in regional Pokédex appearances until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon#Changes|Minccino and Cinccino's inclusion in]] [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|the alternate Alola Pokédex]].

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

==Similar Pokémon==
{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing the [[electric rodents]]. The Japanese web page for the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

However, unlike Pikachu or its parallels, Mimikyu is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. Instead, Mimikyu [[List_of_Pokémon_with_form_differences#Mimikyu|changes forms]] from Disguised Form into Busted Form when it is hit by an attack.

[[File:Gen VIII Electric Mice Artwork.jpg|thumb|350px|Artwork of the pre-[[Generation IX]] electric rodents and {{p|Mimikyu}}]]
'''Electric rodents''' is a [[Appendix:Fan terminology|fan term]] referring to a group of {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} based on {{wp|rodent}}s.

This group is also referred to by fans as the '''{{p|Pikachu}} family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones''', though these terms are sometimes used to include other Pokémon such as {{p|Marill}} or {{p|Mimikyu}}, which are not {{t|Electric}} [[type]]s, but otherwise resemble Pikachu in design. An equivalent term used within the Japanese [[Pokémon]] fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group'', referencing the electric pouches on these Pokémon's cheeks.

The terms "electric mice" and "electric mouse Pokémon" are used informally to describe this group in a post on the official [https://www.facebook.com/Pokemon.official.Singapore/posts/2502021336791447 Pokémon Singapore Facebook page], promoting the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" collection of {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} merchandise. HOPPE DAISHŪGO can be translated as ''Great Gathering of Cheeks'', referencing the common trait these Pokémon have.

Pokémon art director and character designer [[Ken Sugimori]] acknowledged the concept of the recurring "electric rodents" theme in an interview published in Volume 201 of the ''Nintendo Dream'' magazine.<ref name=NDream>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> [[Atsuko Nishida]] was responsible for designing six of the electric rodents, namely {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}},<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=GameFreak>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref> {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu,<ref>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon."

==List of electric rodents==
There are 13 Pokémon considered to be electric rodents, with every [[generation]] introducing at least one.

Design-wise, all of these Pokémon are designed to resemble {{p|Pikachu}},<ref name=NDream/> with big round heads, black or brown button-like eyes (except for {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, whose eyes are blue), and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the {{egg|Fairy}} and/or {{egg|Field}} [[Egg Group]]s, except for {{p|Pichu}} and certain special forms of Pikachu, which are in the {{egg|No Eggs Discovered}} Egg Group. Additionally, all of these Pokémon have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], this group included the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Nuzzle}}, with {{p|Morpeko}} being the only member who cannot learn it. Most of the electric rodents have an [[Ability]] that gives them an immunity to {{type|Electric}} moves, such as {{a|Motor Drive}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}}, or {{a|Volt Absorb}}, with {{p|Dedenne}}, Alolan Raichu, Morpeko, and {{p|Pawmi}} being the exceptions (though Pawmi's evolved forms, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}}, gain Volt Absorb as a possible Ability). Every electric rodent has a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] of one male to one female, save for special forms of Pikachu and Pichu that are exclusively a single gender. Every electric rodent in {{g|Sleep}} also belongs to the Snoozing [[sleep type]], except for Pichu, whose sleep type is Slumbering.

{{p|Pachirisu}} is the only member of this group revealed to actually be biologically related to Pikachu's evolutionary line.<ref>[[Pokédex]] entry: ''A species related to the Pikachu line. [...]'' ({{g|Legends: Arceus}})</ref> {{p|Pawmi}} is the only one (aside from {{p|Pikachu}} itself) to have an evolutionary line, having three stages, mirroring Pikachu's—although Pikachu's evolutionary line includes a [[baby Pokémon]], while Pawmi's lacks one.

The Pawmi line, being introduced in [[Generation IX]], have yet to be directly grouped with the electric rodents officially, though they share the same design theme and other overall similarities. Alolan Raichu and other forms of the Pikachu line are also not typically depicted with this group.

Listed below are the 13 species included in this group, as well as Alolan Raichu.

==Similar Pokémon==
{{p|Marill}} and {{p|Mimikyu}} are often viewed as "Pikachu clones" by fans, although neither of them are {{t|Electric}} types.

Marill has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing these Pokémon. The Japanese web page for the "HOPPE DAISHŪGO" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

==In the games==
[[File:XY Battle BG Stickers.png|thumb|x150px|The "Stickers" battle menu background]]
{{p|Pachirisu}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet]] states "It's one of the kinds of Pokémon with electric cheek pouches", which likely refers to this group.

In {{g|X and Y}}, the [[Options/Battle BGs|"Stickers" battle menu background]] features all the members of the group that existed at the time.
{{right clear}}

==In animation==
These Pokémon are owned by several characters in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. {{p|Pichu}} is the only member of this group that isn't owned or cared for by any of the major characters of the animated series, though it is confirmed in the first episode of {{aniseries|JN}}, ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used to be a Pichu before they met.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} own a number of these Pokémon: Ash owns a {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Dawn}} owns a {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{an|Iris}} owns an {{p|Emolga}}, {{an|Bonnie}} cares for her brother {{an|Clemont}}'s {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, {{an|Sophocles}} owns a {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}, and [[Goh]] owns a female {{TP|Goh|Raichu}} that evolved from a Pikachu. Additionally, [[James]] of {{TRT}} owns a {{TP|James|Morpeko}}, and while it is not considered part of this group, [[Jessie]] owns a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Ash's friend {{Tracey}} owns a {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}, though Marill has never been officially connected to this group.

Additionally, Ash's [[rival]] in [[Alola]], [[Hau]], and in [[Galar]], [[Marnie]], own {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and Morpeko, respectively. Dawn's rival [[Ursula]] owns both {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}.

==Trivia==
*{{p|Emolga}} was the first electric rodent to be dual-[[type]]. After its introduction in [[Generation V]], all subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced dual-type electric rodents.
**Every unevolved dual-type electric rodent has a type immunity. Of these, {{p|Morpeko}} is the only one with an immunity to another electric rodent's type, being unaffected by {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}'s {{t|Psychic}} type.
**Alolan Raichu is the first dual-type electric rodent without any immunities. However, as the Psychic type was originally immune to {{type|Ghost}} [[move]]s in [[Generation I]], this means that {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the only electric rodents whose secondary type have never had any immunities at any point in time.
**{{p|Pawmi}} is the first single-type electric rodent since {{p|Pachirisu}}, being introduced five generations later.
**Pawmo and Pawmot are the only electric rodents to share a type combination ({{t|Electric}}/{{type|Fighting}}), and subsequently, to have a type disadvantage against multiple electric rodents instead of one, those being {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, and Alolan Raichu. Due to being part Fighting-type, they are also the only electric rodents without a resistance to {{type|Flying}} moves.
*Pikachu is the only electric rodent to be a [[first partner Pokémon]] and to have a [[Gigantamax]] form, as well as to have an item unique to it (the [[Light Ball]]) and to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched Evolution]].
*Raichu is the only electric rodent to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
*Pichu is the only electric rodent to be a [[baby Pokémon]].
*Emolga is the only electric rodent without a weakness to {{type|Ground}} moves or a resistance to Electric-type attacks, due to being part Flying-type.
*Alolan Raichu and Pikachu are the only electric rodents with unique [[Z-Move]]s ({{m|Catastropika}} for Pikachu, {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for [[Pikachu in a cap]], and {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} for Alolan Raichu).
*{{p|Togedemaru}} is the only electric rodent with a double weakness (to Ground-type moves) and double resistances (to Flying and {{type|Steel}} attacks).
*Morpeko is the first electric rodent since Pikachu's [[evolution]]ary line to have a [[signature move]] ({{m|Aura Wheel}}). It would be followed by Pawmot's {{m|Double Shock}} in [[Generation IX]].
*Pawmi and Pawmo are the first electric rodents introduced since Pikachu to be capable of evolving.
*{{p|Cramorant}} is exclusive to [[The Teal Mask]] expansion in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet}}, while {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Violet}} instead features Morpeko. This choice may be due to Cramorant's unique form that involves holding a Pikachu in its mouth, linking both Pokémon to Pikachu in different ways.

{{fan speculation}}

'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pika-parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes. Unlike [[electric rodents]], {{t|Electric}}-types are not a requirement but they must meet the criteria of being part of an evolution line.

[[Atsuko Nishida]] was responsible for designing eight of the parallel rodents, namely {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}},<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=GameFreak>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref> {{p|Minccino}}, {{p|Cinccino}},<ref name="Atsuko">''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu,<ref>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon."

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]].

However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

The Marill-line all receive {{t|Fairy}} as [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|their secondary-type]] during [[Generation VI]], though later in [[Generation VII]], the Pikachu-line received a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Psychic}} [[Regional form|regional]] [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched evolution]] in form of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total. Although they are similar, they are mutually-exclusive in regional Pokédex appearances until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon#Changes|Minccino and Cinccino's inclusion in]] [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|the alternate Alola Pokédex]].

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

* While {{p|Marill}} was the first parallel rodent [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|to be dual-type]] since [[Generation VI]], {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the first new parallel rodents to have dual-type upon introduction. {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, introduced after Marill's type change, is also dual-type.
* {{p|Cinccino}} is the only fully-evolved parallel rodent to not have type advantage over another, as {{p|Pawmot}} has type advantage over Cinccino.
** Pawmot and {{p|Azumarill}} have type advantage on each other, while both forms of Raichu have type advantage over Azumarill.
** Azumarill and Alolan Raichu have type advantages over Pawmot, making Pawmot the only fully-evolved parallel rodent with two type weaknesses from others.

'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pika-parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes. Unlike [[electric rodents]], {{t|Electric}}-types are not a requirement but they must meet the criteria of being part of an evolution line.

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

The Marill-line all receive {{t|Fairy}} as [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|their secondary-type]] during [[Generation VI]], though later in [[Generation VII]], the Pikachu-line received a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Psychic}} [[Regional form|regional]] [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched evolution]] in form of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total. Although they are similar, they are mutually-exclusive in regional Pokédex appearances until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon#Changes|Minccino and Cinccino's inclusion in]] [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|the alternate Alola Pokédex]].

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

{{p|Mimikyu}}'s design is directly inspired by Pikachu, and it is sometimes featured in official artwork showcasing these Pokémon. The Japanese web page for the "[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2019/12/191213_p02.html HOPPE DAISHŪGO]" merchandise states: "よく見ると、でんきタイプではないポケモンが1匹、こっそり仲間入りしているね" (''"If you look closely, you'll see that one Pokemon that is not an Electric type has secretly joined the group."'') This references Mimikyu's behavior of pretending to be a Pikachu.

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

The Marill-line all receive {{t|Fairy}} as [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|their secondary-type]] during [[Generation VI]], though later in [[Generation VII]], the Pikachu-line received a dual-type {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Psychic}} [[Regional form|regional]] [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched evolution]] in form of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total. Although they are similar, they are mutually-exclusive in regional Pokédex appearances until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon#Changes|Minccino's inclusion in]] [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|the alternate Alola Pokédex]].

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

{{fan speculation}}

'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes.

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} having the similar base-stat total.

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

{{fan speculation}}

'''Parallel rodents''', more commonly nicknamed as '''Pikachu-line parallels''', '''Pikachu parallels''' and '''Raichu parallels''', are a fan terminology used for a group of [[evolution]]-capable {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inspired by the {{p|Pikachu}} evolution line.

This group encompasses several shared themes such as designs based off rodents, being part of the evolution line and being used to utilize cute designs for marketing purposes.

=== Marill-line ===
{{p|Marill}} has similar design traits to {{p|Pikachu}}, being a cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Marill and Pikachu are also both in the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy]] [[Egg Group]], and were both initially the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary line before gaining a pre-Evolution in the next generation which is a [[baby Pokémon]] that evolves via [[friendship Evolution]]. Prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often referred to as "Pikablu" by fans, and it was erroneously referred to as such on the [[Pokémon the First Movie Trading Cards|Topps trading cards for the first movie]]. However, Marill has never officially been acknowledged as related to the electric rodents.

=== Minccino-line ===
While being designed as a parallel to {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Minccino}} also shares design traits with {{p|Pikachu}}, being the [[Generation V]]'s take on the cute, round Pokémon with black button-like eyes. Both Minccino and Pikachu are in the [[Field (Egg Group)|Field]] [[Egg Group]], are the first stage in a two-stage evolutionary lines (formerly in Pikachu's case), and Minccino has also been used as promotional Pokémon during Generation V's run, being the main Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}}'s "world of Pokémon" intro.

Both Minccino and Pikachu evolve via [[Thunder Stone|evolution]] [[Shiny Stone|stones]], with {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Raichu}} have the similar base-stat total.

=== Pawmi-line ===
Being the [[electric rodents]] of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} share the three-stage evolution line, a first since {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}. Although Pawmi is not a [[baby Pokémon]] like Pichu or Azurill, its evolution line parallels that of Pikachu evolution line and Marill evolution line, making Pawmi line both electric rodents and parallel rodents.

** Minccino is the only parallel rodent which stayed single-type in its final form, due to Alolan Raichu being dual-typed.
* While {{p|Marill}} was the first parallel rodent [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|to be dual-type]] since [[Generation VI]], {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the first new parallel rodents to have dual-type upon introduction. {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, introduced after Marill's type change, is also dual-type.
* {{p|Cinccino}} is the only fully-evolved parallel rodent to not have type advantage over another, as {{p|Pawmot}} has type advantage over Cinccino.
** Pawmot and {{p|Azumarill}} have type advantage on each other, while both forms of Raichu have type advantage over Azumarill.
** Azumarill and Alolan Raichu have type advantages over Pawmot, making Pawmot the only fully-evolved parallel rodent with two type weaknesses from others.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Pichu}} and the {{p|Marill}} evolution line are the only Pokémon in the category not designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].
* Raichu is the only Pokémon to have a [[regional form]] and to be capable of undergoing [[Mega Evolution]].
** As such, Pikachu is the only parallel rodent to have [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|a branched evolution]].
** Minccino is the only Pokémon which stayed single-type in its final form, due to Alolan Raichu being dual-typed.
* While {{p|Marill}} was the first parallel rodent [[:Category:Pokémon that have had their type changed|to be dual-type]] since [[Generation VI]], {{p|Pawmo}} and {{p|Pawmot}} are the first new parallel rodents to have dual-type upon introduction. {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, introduced after Marill's type change, is also dual-type.
* {{p|Cinccino}} is the only fully-evolved parallel rodent to not have type advantage over another, as {{p|Pawmot}} has type advantage over Cinccino.
** Pawmot and {{p|Azumarill}} have type advantage on each other, while both forms of Raichu have type advantage over Azumarill.
** Azumarill and Alolan Raichu have type advantage over Pawmot, making Pawmot the only fully-evolved parallel rodent with two type weakness from others.

SpecialStageRoute: /* Minccino line and new term? */

Why should it be deleted? Electric Rodents is not only part of the fandom (and it is part, just search deviantart, tumblre, forums etc to see for yourself), but also a "Formula" that the pokemon creators used from the 1st generation onwards. U can't deny the similarity of these pokemon(Not only in appearance but in their "place" in the pokemon universe), even if the don't share an evolution line with each other. [[User:Mr. Bell|Mr. Bell]] ([[User talk:Mr. Bell|talk]]) 00:50, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
:It's not a formula in-game. Look at their base stat totals (which is probably the most significant way of comparing unrelated Pokemon) and most of their other numerical values. They're just plain not all the same in almost any category. There is a recurring design motif, but that's an opinionated statement (no matter how obvious it is), so it doesn't belong in the mainspace of a ''fact''-based encyclopedia like Bulbapedia. If you want to expand {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Pikachu counterpart|the entry on Appendix:Fan terminology}}{{tt|*|note that the Appendix namespace is not held to the same must-be-a-hard-fact requirements as the mainspace, so this is an appropriate topic there}}, that's your prerogative, but I really don't think this has enough factual information to support a full article.

:And in response to {{u|Glik}}'s edit summary, "''It's a popular fan term for a group of related Pokémon that have no explicitly stated relation in-game but whose relation fans widely agree upon. Nowhere in the article does it say that it's a canonical group.''" I wouldn't call this "widely agreed upon"; anyone who's been around since Gen 2 will tell you that Marill was promoted as if it were the Pikachu counterpart in those games before Gen 3 retooled "Pikachu counterparts" to require the Electric type. As for the last part of your statement, the mainspace is for canonical content only. Like I said above, the Appendix namespace is fine for this topic, but it simply cannot go in the mainspace at all; it doesn't matter whether there's a "fan term" disclaimer at the top.

I agree that this group is more or less canon, they might not have the same BST, but their designs (and cheeks!!) and the fact that they are owned by a main character in the anime just can´t be ignored. The pseudolegendaries get less similarities every gen while the electric rodents get more. --[[User:Nico649|Nico649]] ([[User talk:Nico649|talk]]) 01:50, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
:Plusle and Minun were never owned by a main character.
:I would consider the early bird Pokemon for each Generation ({{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}) to be more similar than I would consider these "Electric Rodents" to be. I mean, at least you're not skipping a Generation there (Pichu is explicitly Pikachu's baby form, so it hardly "counts"). And Pachirisu and Emolga don't fit so well with all the others IMO. (That's "IMO", as in, anyone else's opinion will not sway me in the slightest, it's simply '''my''' feeling.)
:The thing is, you could just as well make a page for those early bird Pokemon. Probably with ''better'' cause, even. '''Ash''' has had ''every single one'' of '''them'''. Not "'''a''' main character"; Ash. Not "all except Plusle and Minun"; all period. The only thing different about the groups is that Pikachu became the franchise's mascot, so people want to ascribe some special significance to ''its'' group of similar Pokemon. ...But nothing in the franchise actually raises any of the other "Electric Rodents" to anywhere ''near'' the same level as Pikachu (except perhaps Pichu, which is related to Pikachu and therefore not really a surprise).
:Maybe if you wanted to make a single page about all the similar Pokemon between Generations (the "Electric Rodents", the early birds, the early bugs, the early ground sorts (e.g., Rattata, Poochyena), Zubat/Swoobat...the starters...and so on...), that might be moderately worth a whole page. There are trends, certainly. But most of those trend really don't deserve their own pages. That goes the same for Pikachu's group, which is not actually special just because Pikachu is in the group.

A Couple of things I would like to say:
*First of all-presenting a different valid subject for an article (early birds) doesn't mean that this subject isn't valid. Maybe we should just have both articles?
*Secondly, u are correct that the usage of "Electric Rodents" in the canon(esp. anime) hasn't been constant. But this is true with other subjects as well, as the anime itself changed each generation(i.e. which character has starter pokemon).But for the past 3 generation there is a constant formula.
*Electric Rodents is a popular fandom term, google it and find out.
*Aside from fandom, the similarities between these pokemon is found in canon-their origin and design of course, their egg group, their base stat isn't equal but it is the lowest of all others' electric pokemon, and of course their use in anime in the past 3 gen.
*And a more meta-encyclopedia argument- i can't see why would we want to delete it? Even if one can argue about the similarity of them, it is clear that many believe it exist. Bulbapedia should be the source for knowledge about pokemon, why would we want to deny this knowledge from our readers?

:You're still just talking about a general trend that is only remotely special in this case because Pikachu is in this group. A page about ''all'' of those general trends would be great. Redirect "Electric rodents" to there, and you can add any minor comments about all their commonalities there. But the "Electric rodents" are not nearly special enough to have their own page, nor would ''every'' trend deserve its own page. A list of trends, including the Electric rodents, is the only really sensible solution. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
::There may be other trends, but i think the similarity in this one is much greater, and it is much more present in the fandom. pseudo legendaries might also be considered just "a trend", as the similarities between them differs through the timeline of the series as well. The fact is that this trend is becoming more and more a formula in the canon, and it is already present in the fandom. I think it "deserves" an article, and by putting it with other "trends" we'll just create a massive unreadable article. [[User:Mr. Bell|Mr. Bell]] ([[User talk:Mr. Bell|talk]]) 23:53, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Pseudo-legendaries (here, at least) have very specific and objective requirements. The only completely objective thing that every one of the "Electric rodents" have in common is that they're Electric types. And most other trends aren't likely to have such objective requirements either.
:::As I said above, I actually consider Pachirisu and Emolga to be poor fits{{tt|*|I'm not saying I don't see the similarities, I'm just saying I consider them rather thin}} among the other "Electric rodents", as far as design goes. Who's right? I'll tell you now: that question has no right answer.
:::As far as creating a massive article, I imagine you believe that every trend would be roughly as big as this page currently is. But the fact is, most of this page is little more than fluff. Pretty much the only thing this page actually does that's not (I believe) done elsewhere is the top/intro section. The rest is unimportant and/or can easily be found on the pages for any of the Pokemon. If each trend is therefore only about as big as that top section, then the whole page wouldn't actually be ''that'' big (big enough perhaps, but not absolutely massive). And really, the only way to know if it can work is to try first. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:17, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
::::As an encyclopedia we should present the subject in the best and easiest way to our reader-no send them to other articles. If I want a comparison about Electric Rodents, I want it to be done in a good and thorough way. I'm really against deleting this article not because of this article, but because the message it sends about how we see this encyclopedia. If u want to create a page for all the the "trends" together, it is possible to try, but we shouldn't delete this page before we find out the consequences.

:::There's a key difference between Electric Rodents and Pseudolegendaries. All fans can actually agree on what an electric rodent actually is. If anything should go, it should be Pseudolegendaries. Or at least, it shouldn't be mentioned on the opening paragraph of Pokémon pages. It has about as much place as putting Electric Rodent at the start of the relevant pages, if not less, given that, again, at least EVERYONE can agree on the conditions of an electric rodent as opposed to the pseudolegendaries, which are in constant debate.

On the other hand, this is a very loose aggregation with no unarguable definition, and as I noted last week, many fans are more likely to group Marill with the Pikachu ripoffs than exclude it.

== Trivia ==

Regardless of whether or not the article stays, I think some of the trivia needs to go. I don't mind the first two points, although the first is sorta questionable, considering Raichu is the only one who evolved from a non-baby, but I digress. The last four simply don't seem notable at all. They are, "Raichu is the tallest of the electric rodents at 2'07" (0.8 m)," "Dedenne is the shortest of the electric rodents at 0'08" (0.2 m)," "Pichu is the lightest of the electric rodents at 4.4 lbs. (2.0 kg)," and "Raichu is the heaviest of the electric rodents weighing 66.1 lbs. (30.0 kg)." While undeniably trivial, it doesn't seem notable or even interesting. It seems like a bit for me to delete, though, with no consensus. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 04:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

:Height and weight are more important to a Pokémon to make sure each Pokémon have their own height and weight, so why it should be remove just because someone dislikes the trivia who's the tallest and who's the shortest.

Can Cramorant with Pikachu in its mouth count as a "similar Pokemon to Electric rodents" or just Pikachu's form?

The last four simply don't seem notable at all. They are, "Raichu is the tallest of the electric rodents at 2'07" (0.8 m)," "Dedenne is the shortest of the electric rodents at 0'08" (0.2 m)," "Pichu is the lightest of the electric rodents at 4.4 lbs.

Since [[Marill (Pokémon)|Marill]] and Minccino can evolve just like Pikachu, these should arguably be in the new category of Pikachu-line parallels instead of Pikaclones, just as [[Azumarill (Pokémon)|Azumarill]] and Cinccino being Raichu parallels along with [[Pawmot (Pokémon)|Pawmot]].

Why should it be deleted? Electric Rodents is not only part of the fandom (and it is part, just search deviantart, tumblre, forums etc to see for yourself), but also a "Formula" that the pokemon creators used from the 1st generation onwards. U can't deny the similarity of these pokemon(Not only in appearance but in their "place" in the pokemon universe), even if the don't share an evolution line with each other. [[User:Mr. Bell|Mr. Bell]] ([[User talk:Mr. Bell|talk]]) 00:50, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
:It's not a formula in-game. Look at their base stat totals (which is probably the most significant way of comparing unrelated Pokemon) and most of their other numerical values. They're just plain not all the same in almost any category. There is a recurring design motif, but that's an opinionated statement (no matter how obvious it is), so it doesn't belong in the mainspace of a ''fact''-based encyclopedia like Bulbapedia. If you want to expand {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Pikachu counterpart|the entry on Appendix:Fan terminology}}{{tt|*|note that the Appendix namespace is not held to the same must-be-a-hard-fact requirements as the mainspace, so this is an appropriate topic there}}, that's your prerogative, but I really don't think this has enough factual information to support a full article.

:And in response to {{u|Glik}}'s edit summary, "''It's a popular fan term for a group of related Pokémon that have no explicitly stated relation in-game but whose relation fans widely agree upon. Nowhere in the article does it say that it's a canonical group.''" I wouldn't call this "widely agreed upon"; anyone who's been around since Gen 2 will tell you that Marill was promoted as if it were the Pikachu counterpart in those games before Gen 3 retooled "Pikachu counterparts" to require the Electric type. As for the last part of your statement, the mainspace is for canonical content only. Like I said above, the Appendix namespace is fine for this topic, but it simply cannot go in the mainspace at all; it doesn't matter whether there's a "fan term" disclaimer at the top. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 01:34, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree that this group is more or less canon, they might not have the same BST, but their designs (and cheeks!!) and the fact that they are owned by a main character in the anime just can´t be ignored. The pseudolegendaries get less similarities every gen while the electric rodents get more. --[[User:Nico649|Nico649]] ([[User talk:Nico649|talk]]) 01:50, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
:Plusle and Minun were never owned by a main character.
:I would consider the early bird Pokemon for each Generation ({{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}) to be more similar than I would consider these "Electric Rodents" to be. I mean, at least you're not skipping a Generation there (Pichu is explicitly Pikachu's baby form, so it hardly "counts"). And Pachirisu and Emolga don't fit so well with all the others IMO. (That's "IMO", as in, anyone else's opinion will not sway me in the slightest, it's simply '''my''' feeling.)
:The thing is, you could just as well make a page for those early bird Pokemon. Probably with ''better'' cause, even. '''Ash''' has had ''every single one'' of '''them'''. Not "'''a''' main character"; Ash. Not "all except Plusle and Minun"; all period. The only thing different about the groups is that Pikachu became the franchise's mascot, so people want to ascribe some special significance to ''its'' group of similar Pokemon. ...But nothing in the franchise actually raises any of the other "Electric Rodents" to anywhere ''near'' the same level as Pikachu (except perhaps Pichu, which is related to Pikachu and therefore not really a surprise).
:Maybe if you wanted to make a single page about all the similar Pokemon between Generations (the "Electric Rodents", the early birds, the early bugs, the early ground sorts (e.g., Rattata, Poochyena), Zubat/Swoobat...the starters...and so on...), that might be moderately worth a whole page. There are trends, certainly. But most of those trend really don't deserve their own pages. That goes the same for Pikachu's group, which is not actually special just because Pikachu is in the group. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:34, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
:::The mainspace is not "for canonical content only". The notability requirements says "not all non-canon material is relevant, but neither is all non-canon material irrelevant". That's the whole point of Project:Fandom, to make articles on the notable bits of fandom that are not explicitly canonical. There is a large section of fandom that accepts that there is a pattern of Electric types modelled after rodents appearing every generation, that's why it's on the Appendix. I personally think that the group's members gaining a repeating, important function in the anime starting with the Diamond and Pearl series warrants the group having an article of its own. But I also agree with Tiddlywinks: the generational trends would be better if they had one combined article. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 03:03, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
A Couple of things I would like to say:
*First of all-presenting a different valid subject for an article (early birds) doesn't mean that this subject isn't valid. Maybe we should just have both articles?
*Secondly, u are correct that the usage of "Electric Rodents" in the canon(esp. anime) hasn't been constant. But this is true with other subjects as well, as the anime itself changed each generation(i.e. which character has starter pokemon).But for the past 3 generation there is a constant formula.
*Electric Rodents is a popular fandom term, google it and find out.
*Aside from fandom, the similarities between these pokemon is found in canon-their origin and design of course, their egg group, their base stat isn't equal but it is the lowest of all others' electric pokemon, and of course their use in anime in the past 3 gen.
*And a more meta-encyclopedia argument- i can't see why would we want to delete it? Even if one can argue about the similarity of them, it is clear that many believe it exist. Bulbapedia should be the source for knowledge about pokemon, why would we want to deny this knowledge from our readers?

This page has been undeleted, due to now being a well-established, officially acknowledged group with actual content to cover. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 02:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

== 14 electric rodents ==

Is Raichu counted twice because of his Alolan Form? Isn't that technically one Pokemon species? If we're considering alternate forms then there are also all those forms of Pikachu and Pichu that could be mentioned, I think.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 09:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
:Good call. This was a miscalculation on my part, so I've fixed it. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

== Forms and stats ==

I don't think the stat comparisons are super necessary here, and I also don't think we need to mention every single form/variant of Pikachu and Pichu. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 17:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
:I like the stat comparisons actually. It's interesting to see how the stat totals compare for the single-stage rodents versus the ones that are part of an evo line, which one is the fastest, and so on. I agree that we don't need to mention all the forms, though-we don't need multiple entries that have identical stats. Partner Pikachu can stay because it has different stats, but all the others should go. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 17:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
::If the stats are to stay, I would like to propose a vertical layout such as [[Special:Permalink/4002485|User:Tiddlywinks/stats/r]] or [[Special:Permalink/3898629|User:SnorlaxMonster/groupstats/entry]], instead of the horizontal one used currently, to make it better for thinner screens and mobile. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 18:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
:::A lot of minutia has also been added about the different forms beyond just the base stats, which I feel adds unnecessary bloat to the article. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
::::I'm okay with keeping the stats, though I agree we should mainspace one of the linked templates. I've also made an edit that I feel helps strike a balance with the details that have been added recently relating to forms/variants. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

== Cramorant ==

Can Cramorant with Pikachu in its mouth count as a "similar Pokemon to Electric rodents" or just Pikachu's form? I'm asking because I just realized that Cramorant is a version exclusive to The Teal Mask expansion for Scarlet as a counterpart to Violet's Morpeko. Clearly they were paired because of the Pikaclone connection.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 18:15, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
:I think that counts and worth mentioning.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 20:19, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
::That's a neat connection. I wonder if it might work better as Trivia though? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 21:57, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

== Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y ==

Since in the group we have Raichu and Alolan Raichu, shouldn’t we also include it's Mega evolution forms too?? [[User:Neos|Neos]] ([[User talk:Neos|talk]]) 11:47, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

:Currently we are not including temporary or special forms such as Megas, Hangry Mode Morpeko, or Notch-eared Pichu, etc., as they don't really fit the intended scope of this page, that being the trend of each generation getting a cute new Pikachu-like species. Other forms are considered related topics, but not particularly pertinent to the subject of this page. Whether Alolan Raichu fits here is a separate conversation. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 12:07, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

== Minccino line and new term? ==

Although [[Minccino (Pokémon)|Minccino]] and [[Cinccino (Pokémon)|Cinccino]] were designed as equivalents of [[Clefairy (Pokémon)|Clefairy]] and [[Clefable (Pokémon)|Clefable]] as well as [[Jigglypuff (Pokémon)|Jigglypuff]] and [[Wigglytuff (Pokémon)|Wigglytuff]], their rodent design also echoes [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] and [[Raichu (Pokémon)|Raichu]], as Pikachu and Raichu are completely absent from [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's Pokédex]], and Minccino and Pikachu lines are mutually-exclusive until [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's alternate Alola Pokédex]]..

Since Marill and Minccino can evolve just like Pikachu, these should arguably be in the new category of Pikachu-line parallels instead of Pikaclones, just as [[Azumarill (Pokémon)|Azumarill]] and Cinccino being Raichu parallels along with [[Pawmot (Pokémon)|Pawmot]].

'''Umbreon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブラッキー''' ''Blacky'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]] (in the main series games), or when leveled up with high friendship with a [[Moon Shard]] in the [[Bag]] (in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]). It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

It is a [[starter Pokémon]] in {{g|Colosseum}} alongside the other [[Generation II]] Eeveelution, Espeon.

==Biology==
Umbreon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which has a sleek, black body with four slender legs and crimson eyes. It has two pairs of pointed teeth (one in the upper jaw and one in the lower jaw) which are visible when its mouth is open. It has long, pointed ears and a bushy tail, each with a yellow band around them. Its forehead and legs have yellow rings on them.

Its yellow markings glow at night or when it is excited, and strike fear into anyone nearby. It hides in the darkness while waiting for its opponents, and its yellow rings glow when it leaps to attack. It is also capable of spraying a poisonous sweat when it gets agitated. This Pokémon is rare [[Wild Pokémon|in the wild]], and is more often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} under the care of people.

* {{p|Eevee}} won't evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} due to lack of [[time|day and night cycle mechanics]].
* Even if all criteria to evolve {{p|Eevee}} into Umbreon are fulfilled in [[Generation VI|generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], it will evolve into {{p|Sylveon}} if it knows a [[Fairy (type)|Fairy]]-type move and has at least two hearts of [[Affection]] or just knows a Fairy-type move in [[Generation VIII|generation VIII]]. Similarly in generations from [[Generation IV|IV]] to [[Generation VII|VII]] it will evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} near [[Moss Rock]] or {{p|Glaceon}} near [[Ice Rock]] regardless of other conditions while getting level up.

==Trivia==

* Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to the lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved there, and then traded back, or else traded from {{g|Colosseum}} or {{Pokémon XD}}.
* According to the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} Pokédex, Umbreon, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}} have identical footprints.
* Umbreon is the only non-{{type|Psychic}} Pokémon to be able to have the {{a|Synchronize}} [[Ability]].
* Umbreon is the only [[Eeveelution]] that had a unique [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] in its debut generation.
* Umbreon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376</ref>
* Umbreon is tied with:
** {{me|Gyarados}} and {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]] for the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{t|Dark}}-type Pokémon.
** {{p|Sylveon}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Eeveelutions.
** Leafeon for the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Eeveelutions.
* In the [[Pokémon Day#Pokémon of the Year|Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Umbreon was voted as both the most popular [[Generation II]] Pokémon and the most popular [[Eeveelution]], receiving 67,062 votes. It was also voted as the fifth most popular Pokémon overall.

===Origin===
Umbreon's origins are uncertain, though it could be based on a {{wp|black cat}}, which was considered to be an omen of bad luck (in most Western countries, contrary to Japan's viewpoint in which it is considered lucky) and can be interpreted as the reasoning behind the {{t|Dark}} typing. It can also be possibly based off the folk tales of [[wp:Black dog (ghost)|black dogs]], especially those in the English folklore. Its long ears are similar to those of a hare and may originate from the East Asian legends concerning a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}.

The rings on Umbreon's body resemble Egyptian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with animal sculptures, such as cat statues of the Egyptian goddess {{wp|Bastet}}. While Bastet was originally a lioness warrior and the goddess of the sun, Greeks occupying ancient Egypt toward the end of its civilization changed her into the goddess of the moon. This change may have drawn some of the inspiration for the Pokémon's lunar theme. Furthering the lunar theme, {{wp|Metamorphoses}} is a narrative poem that involves the Roman Goddess of the moon, {{wp|Diana}}, change into the form of a cat as she flees to Egypt.

Additionally, Umbreon may be inspired by {{wp|Tezcatlipoca}}, a central deity in {{wp|Aztec religion}} who took the form of a black jaguar that had yellow horizontal bands, and was associated with the night sky.

====Name origin====
Umbreon may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbra}}'' (Latin for ''shadow'' and ''ghost'', as well as the English word for the moon's silhouette during a solar eclipse) and ''eon'', a shortened form of ''evolution'', the word also meaning an immeasurably long period of time (possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Blacky may be a combination of ''black'' and ''lucky'', as the black cat in Japan is considered lucky. It may also refer to the color of its coat.

==Evolve Eevee?==

The article writes that you can get an Umbreon in FR/LG by evolving an Eevee. Where does one get the moon shard? How can one evolve an Eevee in FR/LG without it because I'm not sure there is one in the game. [[User:Harvestdancer|Harvestdancer]] 21:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

:[[Moon Shard]]? Only in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD: Gale of Darkness]], I'm afraid.

:I'm afraid you can't get an Umbreon in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed/LeafGreen]] without trading it over to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby/Sapphire]]/[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] and evolving it there.

:{{p|Espeon}} works pretty much the same way, only involving the opposite timeframes and the [[Sun Shard]] instead of the Moon Shard. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:48, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

::What would happen if you chose the Moon Shard, then waited until you could trade, had a Pokémon hold the Moon Shard, and traded it to FRLGE? --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 21:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

:::The Moon Shard is a key item. It can't be held. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

::Shouldn't the page say "trade" instead of "evolve" then for FR/LG? [[User:Harvestdancer|Harvestdancer]] 17:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Not really. You can get Eevee, even if you can't evolve it within FRLG. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:19, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
::::I meant for Umbreon (and Espeon) shouldn't FR/LG say "trade"? [[User:Harvestdancer|Harvestdancer]] 03:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::Like I said, you can get the Eevee just fine... You may have to trade to evolve it, but does it say that for a Pokémon like Rhyhorn or Graveler? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::Argh no! Graveler, for example, it says can be acquired by evolving a geodude or catching a graveler, but Golem can only be acquired through trade. It says so in the Golem article.
::::::According to the above discusison, the only way to get an Umbreon is through trade. You can't evolve it. You need to evolve it at night, which doesn't happen in FR/LG, or with a moon shard, which you can't get at all in FR/LG and can't trade over as a held item because it's a key item. Therefore you cannot, when playing FR/LG, evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon.
::::::Since you can't evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon in FR/LG, but can get an Umbreon through trade, shouldn't the article say you can get it through trade '''instead''' of evolution? [[User:Harvestdancer|Harvestdancer]] 15:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::All of the trade-evo ones I checked say "evolve (prevo)". The method, of course, is stated in the evo box. The point is that you can get Espeon/Umbreon by evolving the Eevee you get in FRLG, no matter that you have to trade it to another game to get the job done. It's like {{p|Machamp}} or {{p|Scizor}}. You can get the Machoke and Scyther in FRLG, but they don't evolve unless they get traded to another game, then traded back. Sure, it's a tiny bit more complicated with Eevee, but it's still the same concept. The trivia section, of course, should have that you can't evolve it because of no day/night function in FRLG, but that's one of the games you can actually get an Eevee in.

==Psychic mention?==
Is it worth mentioning specifically how it can learn psychic in the trivia section? A pure dark pokemon being able to learn psychic would seem fairly note-worthy. [[User:Prophaniti|Prophaniti]] 15:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

:{{p|Honchkrow}} Is also a Dark type that can learn Psychic. To be honest, I don't really think it belongs in the Article. [[User:Mr.lol|Dean]]
::Sounds notable enough for me.Honchrow is not pure Dark[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|Good Day;DCM]]
::...I didn't know being a flying time allows Honchkrow to learn Psychic attacks...[[User:PDL|PDL]] 14:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't see any notability in it. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Smarter than the average bear!]] 14:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Darkrai, Sableye and it's rip-off Spiritomb, Honchkrow are the other dark types capable of learning Psychic. 5/23 dark types is a fair few. I'd not call it notable enough. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 14:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

==Sun/Moon Shard==
I just changed the Moon/Sun Shard links in the {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}} and [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions]] pages so that they link to the appropriate sections of the [[List of key items in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] page, rather than the [[Evolutionary stone]] page that doesn't mention them at all. Is there a way to make a search for [[Moon Shard]]/[[Sun Shard]] redirect to said page? It's rather useless having it redirect to the stone page (as it does now) when the page doesn't even say anything about them. It took me forever to find ANY mention of these shards in the wiki because of this. I was starting to think they were typos. --[[User:MASLEGOMAN|MASLEGOMAN]] 20:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:I've changed them. In future please add comments to the bottom of a page, rather than into the middle of a three year old conversation. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== wrong wikipedia entry ==

On the origin section, the wikipedia enty for moon rabbit led to {{wp|Moon Rabbit}}, not {{wp|Moon rabbit}} like its supposed to. i just fixed it. can someone tell me if i was supposed to fix it? [[User:Jaller95|Jaller95]] 16:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

== Note Worthy? ==

Is it worth mentioning that Umbreon and Espeon are the only eeveelutions that share an ability?----[[User:XD00153|XD00153]] ''([[User talk:XD00153|tAlk]])'' 00:38, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Another question on noteworthiness, is it worth mentioning that the minimum level for Umbreon is 2, and that the best way to get a lvl 2 umbreon is to hatch an eevee egg, then work it's happiness over a few days by massages, haircuts, and long bicycle walks while watching tv? Also, if it is, you should mention that you should save progress before any attempt to evolve a lvl 2 umbreon to be sure the happiness level is high enough. (Crystufer I don't know bbcode. Sorry.) {{unsigned|Crystufer}}
:First of all, signing your posts is done by typing four tildes (~). It's that easy, and there's even a shortcut for it on the toolbar above the edit box, and on the character palette below it.
:Secondly, the minimum level trivia you suggested is NOT noteworthy. The same could be said for Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and any other Pokémon which needs to level up to evolve. As for your info on how to evolve it at level 2, we aren't a strategy guide.

It states in the name origin section that it could come from ''umber'', but i {{tt|studied Umbreon's pictures|For about ten seconds, sue me}}, and it seemed closer to a very dark blue than a very dark brown.

== Anime ==

Is it worth mentioning that despite Umbreon being the first Dark-type Pokémon in National Dex order, in the anime, no Umbreon is ever seen using a Dark-type move? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 19:52, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

== Incorrect statement in Special Abilities. ==

"Umbreon can spray a poisonous sweat whenever it gets agitated. Its golden bands glow, allowing it to use moves such as Flash.
As a Dark-type Pokémon, Umbreon can learn several moves with various disruptive effects, such as Taunt, Snatch or Thief."

== Trivia on Synchronize ==

Is Umbreon the only Pokémon with the Ability of Synchronize that is not Psychic type (its type is Dark)? Is it notable or too small of a group to note/unnotable? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 04:48, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
:It's easily visible on the page for {{a|Synchronize}}, so it's not notable. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

== Inconclusive ==

About the Anime's lack of Umbreon using Dark Type Moves, Gary's Umbreon used Hidden Power, meaning that information can't be confirmed.--[[User:Benayla|Benayla]] ([[User talk:Benayla|talk]]) 08:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:{{m|Hidden Power}} inflicts damage using a type and power determined by the user's IVs. The power varies between 31 and 70 in Generation II, and varies between 30 and 70 in Generations III to V.
:As far as anime goes, anime does not necessarily equal game in terms of how things are applied. Therefore, we don't see it as anything beyond a Normal-type move. As such, the statement of not using Dark-type moves applies. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:11, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

== PokèPark 2 ==

Should the side-game locations box include the location in PokèPark 2? It has the PokèPark 1 location but not the second game. And in the side-game data section it shows both PokèPark game entries. {{unsigned|AngelicEspeon}}

== Umbreon's Rings ==

Would it be notable, given the pokedex references to Umbreon being poisonous, that Umbreon's rings may be based on a blue-ringed octopus? This could also relate to the color choice for its shiny form. [[User:Yoriven|Yoriven]] ([[User talk:Yoriven|talk]]) 13:42, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
:Sounds kinda like a strech imo.
:Comparing a mammal to a mollusk just because of some ring-like patterns and an obscure dex entry, ya know? It ain't even poison-type in the end.
:And if it was their inspiration for some reason, why not reference it in the main design instead of the shiny one?
: [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 01:46, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:: Well... was going to avoid mentioning the demo leak, but it ''is'' Poison-type in the demo. Provided that that's real (and there's a lot of evidence in its favor) then that would lend credence to Umbreon's design originally drawing inspiration from a notoriously venomous animal. As for why it would reference it in the shiny form instead of the main one- you could ask Wooper the same question. [[User:Yoriven|Yoriven]] ([[User talk:Yoriven|talk]]) 02:48, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:::It's not an octopus. Just having blue rings is such a weak connection. Shiny colorations don't get their origins explained, unless it's very clearly obvious (this isn't, since it's just blue rings), since the colors may be random.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:26, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
::::I just figured, that it ''might'' connect to the shiny, but the point was more venomous creature with glowing rings = possible connection to poisonous eeveelution with glowing rings. But if you feel strongly against it, I will concede and hold my opinion. [[User:Yoriven|Yoriven]] ([[User talk:Yoriven|talk]]) 06:21, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::I noticed on Espeon's page that the trivia states that the red gem resembles a lunar eclipse, but neither of the pages state that Umbreon's rings resemble solar eclipses. I think it might reference that. [[User:AnonymousFog|AnonymousFog]] ([[User talk:AnonymousFog|talk]]) 00:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

== Umbreon's Origin ==

Well, someone removed it without explaining why, so to avoid edit wars I guess I'm gonna make a topic about it first.
Umbreon's origin has always been a mystery. I personally think Umbreon may have influences from the {{wp|Set animal}}. This is a totemic animal used to represent the god Set in Egypt, usually as a black and slender canid.

My argument to such is that it could've drawn inspiration from such since it matches the supposed Egyptian thematic in its design (the golden rings), it is an unknown creature that partially fits the description, also explains the Dark type (Evil type in Japan) since it is associated with chaotic and negative elements.

While it does not match perfectly a few aspects such as the slight curved snout, I believe this could be a valid origin to it since the moon rabbit origin doesn't fill many aspects of it other than the large ears and the moon theme. But since they're don't exclude each other I see no reason to rule this out.

Any thoughts on this?
[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 02:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:Since nobody discussed nor counterargumented it I re-added it to the origins. Also, removed some absurd things in it:
:Umbreon as a "melanistic serval". Unlike mythological creatures who open space for imagination, comparing it to a real animal must be more precise. Servals are slim and have are quite long (length wise), have short ears and a cat-like tail. But then, Umbreon has a Hare-like ears and a fox-like tail and really short. The patterns are nothing similar as well.
:"Moon Rabbit depicted to be white". Yes, but it is also commonly depicted as a black silhouette on the moon (which fits Umbreons design). It is also called "Jade Rabbit" and "Gold Rabbit" by poets. So it could basically have multiple different interpretations. This statement is pointless.
:Bastet trivia was not relevant.
:[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 03:46, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::No response '''does not''' mean you can just add it back, have patience. The set animal is too vague of a creature to make a connection, "black and canid" can describe any other canid Pokémon.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:54, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
:::Yea, but my point is that it's a "black and canid with correlation to the plausible Egyptian thematic and 'Evil'", which fits multiple aspects of it.
:::It was accepted for quite a few days until it was edited, c'mon.
::: [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 04:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::::Its behavior isn't chaotic or evil, judging by its Pokedex entries. To have an Egyptian motif is one thing, but the creature you are comparing it to is way too vague. All that is known about it that it is canine-like, which is way too little to try and say Umbreon is based off it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:22, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::The japanese, the original, name for the 'Dark type' is 'Evil type'. It doesn't need to be on the entries, it's right on its typing.
:::::Although vague, the Set Animal also shares some really unusual details to Umbreon such as the always erected ears and tail. And the design differences could all be taken from the hare and fox previously on the origin. I know it may not be much, but Umbreon has always been an enigmatic creature and this somewhat can fill a few holes in its possible origin. All we had so far was the generic black cat and the moon rabbit (which doesn't explain the typing and most of its design), so, can't we just consider this as a possible one?
:::::[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 04:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::EDIT: I guess that's a no. rip {{unsigned|EXLight}}
:::::::Just because it's called "evil" type in Japan, doesn't mean it has to literally be evil. Umbreon's ears and tails aren't always erect, and saying the set animal always has erect ears and tail is speculation. It's always depicted as having erect ears and tail, you can't say that it definitely has an erect tail and ears (if it were real). The moon rabbit explains the moon aspect of Umbreon, it's not commenting about its design.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Sorry, but saying that an dark-type pokémon isn't necessarily based on something evil makes as much sense as saying that water-types aren't based on aquatic creatures. Are there exceptions? Yes, there are, but these are pretty rare cases that should be considered exceptions as a last resort. Dark-types are often overlooked due to this poor localization and feels really unfair to dismiss it like that.
::::::::Umbreon is represented as having straight ears and tail in pretty much every official media I could find. Could you point out a few examples where they're notably curved?
::::::::I know the moon rabbit isn't commenting about its design, what I'm saying is: the Set animal, despite not being perfect, is the best fit for it so far. I never denied that it has influences from the Moon Rabbit.
::::::::My point here isn't Umbreon being based out of a biologically existent-or-not being used to represent the Set animal, what I'm saying is that its designer could've taken some from the characteristics of the Set animal's representation/symbolism itself and incorporated it to Umbreon's concept (Egyptian aesthetic, black slender canid, 'evil'-type, straight tail and ears, doesn't fit any known creature), that being the case it should be treated as a possible ''mythical'' origin, not a biological one. This kind of origin opens a large variety of interpretations by their creators (e.g. Dunsparce as a Tsuchinoko, Slowbro as the Sazae-oni, or Drampa as a Zhulong), so it's understandable it may not be perfectly accurate. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 14:10, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::I said you're taking the '''name''' of the type too literally. Just because it's called Evil type, doesn't mean all Pokémon of that type are going to be evil (Umbreon isn't evil by behavior or causes chaos). Just because it's called Water type, doesn't mean all Pokémon of that type are going to be sentient water. That's what I meant by taking the name too literally.
:::::::::You're making a biological comparison by saying that the "slender, black body" and "erect ear and tails" of Umbreon may be inspired from the set animal. Is the set animal actually black or usually depicted as black? All ancient drawings/paintings I've googled have it not colored, with colored ones I found usually being fan-art. As for having mythical origins, it's fine to say that it may have an Egyptian motif, which is already mentioned in the origin section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::Hmm, yes, I see, so that's the matter. You're right, it is not enough to prove a link between both, sorry about the fuss. Since the wiki accompanied strong references after the paragraph stating it was represented as black I kinda trusted it blindly, I should've searched more into it before considering it. Thanks for your time and patience. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 20:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

== Umbreon and the Black Dog myths? ==

We already have Houndour line as the Pokémon take on hellhounds, but Umbreon itself can be seen as being inspired by other interpretations of the [[wp:Black dog (ghost)|black dogs]] in the British folklore, such as {{wp|Black Shuck}}. Plus since more people interpret Umbreon as a dog than a cat, would that be possible for Umbreon to be based off the Black Shuck or other ghostly black dogs? [[User:SpecialStageRoute|Special Stage Route]] ([[User talk:SpecialStageRoute|pit stop]]) 10:21, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
:Houndoom's design references hellhounds and the devil, it's black, devilish, looks like dobermann, has horns, bones, arrow tail and ''demon'' in French and and German names. Umbreon is a vague cat and dog mix, isn't particularly evil, related to moonlight and has ''lucky'' in it's name. There's nothing to interpret it as clearly dog-like, plus British folklore isn't as known as Greek mythology.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 10:47, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

::There are some black dogs that are actually benevolent or neutral instead of actively malevolent like others. Gurt Dog of Somerset and Hanging Hills' Black Dog are some of the benevolent black dogs, and Guardian Black Dogs in some stories are rendered as neutral ghost dogs. I can believe Umbreon would be based off those non-malevolent black dogs. [[User:SpecialStageRoute|Special Stage Route]] ([[User talk:SpecialStageRoute|pit stop]]) 16:58, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

== Umbreon's Origin ==

Well, someone removed it without explaining why, so to avoid edit wars I guess I'm gonna make a topic about it first.
Umbreon's origin has always been a mystery. I personally think Umbreon may have influences from the {{wp|Set animal}}. This is a totemic animal used to represent the god Set in Egypt, usually as a black and slender canid.

My argument to such is that it could've drawn inspiration from such since it matches the supposed Egyptian thematic in its design (the golden rings), it is an unknown creature that partially fits the description, also explains the Dark type (Evil type in Japan) since it is associated with chaotic and negative elements.

While it does not match perfectly a few aspects such as the slight curved snout, I believe this could be a valid origin to it since the moon rabbit origin doesn't fill many aspects of it other than the large ears and the moon theme. But since they're don't exclude each other I see no reason to rule this out.

Any thoughts on this?
[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 02:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:Since nobody discussed nor counterargumented it I re-added it to the origins. Also, removed some absurd things in it:
:Umbreon as a "melanistic serval". Unlike mythological creatures who open space for imagination, comparing it to a real animal must be more precise. Servals are slim and have are quite long (length wise), have short ears and a cat-like tail. But then, Umbreon has a Hare-like ears and a fox-like tail and really short. The patterns are nothing similar as well.
:"Moon Rabbit depicted to be white". Yes, but it is also commonly depicted as a black silhouette on the moon (which fits Umbreons design). It is also called "Jade Rabbit" and "Gold Rabbit" by poets. So it could basically have multiple different interpretations. This statement is pointless.
:Bastet trivia was not relevant.

:::::The japanese, the original, name for the 'Dark type' is 'Evil type'. It doesn't need to be on the entries, it's right on its typing.
:::::Although vague, the Set Animal also shares some really unusual details to Umbreon such as the always erected ears and tail. And the design differences could all be taken from the hare and fox previously on the origin. I know it may not be much, but Umbreon has always been an enigmatic creature and this somewhat can fill a few holes in its possible origin. All we had so far was the generic black cat and the moon rabbit (which doesn't explain the typing and most of its design), so, can't we just consider this as a possible one?

Umbreon's ears and tails aren't always erect, and saying the set animal always has erect ears and tail is speculation. It's always depicted as having erect ears and tail, you can't say that it definitely has an erect tail and ears (if it were real).

Yes, there are, but these are pretty rare cases that should be considered exceptions as a last resort. Dark-types are often overlooked due to this poor localization and feels really unfair to dismiss it like that.
::::::::Umbreon is represented as having straight ears and tail in pretty much every official media I could find. Could you point out a few examples where they're notably curved?
::::::::I know the moon rabbit isn't commenting about its design, what I'm saying is: the Set animal, despite not being perfect, is the best fit for it so far. I never denied that it has influences from the Moon Rabbit.
::::::::My point here isn't Umbreon being based out of a biologically existent-or-not being used to represent the Set animal, what I'm saying is that its designer could've taken some from the characteristics of the Set animal's representation/symbolism itself and incorporated it to Umbreon's concept (Egyptian aesthetic, black slender canid, 'evil'-type, straight tail and ears, doesn't fit any known creature), that being the case it should be treated as a possible ''mythical'' origin, not a biological one. This kind of origin opens a large variety of interpretations by their creators (e.g. Dunsparce as a Tsuchinoko, Slowbro as the Sazae-oni, or Drampa as a Zhulong), so it's understandable it may not be perfectly accurate.

:::::::::You're making a biological comparison by saying that the "slender, black body" and "erect ear and tails" of Umbreon may be inspired from the set animal. Is the set animal actually black or usually depicted as black? All ancient drawings/paintings I've googled have it not colored, with colored ones I found usually being fan-art.

== Umbreon and the Black Dog myths? ==

== Umbreon's Origin ==

Well, someone removed it without explaining why, so to avoid edit wars I guess I'm gonna make a topic about it first.
Umbreon's origin has always been a mystery. I personally think Umbreon may have influences from the {{wp|Set animal}}. This is a totemic animal used to represent the god Set in Egypt, usually as a black and slender canid.

My argument to such is that it could've drawn inspiration from such since it matches the supposed Egyptian thematic in its design (the golden rings), it is an unknown creature that partially fits the description, also explains the Dark type (Evil type in Japan) since it is associated with chaotic and negative elements.

While it does not match perfectly a few aspects such as the slight curved snout, I believe this could be a valid origin to it since the moon rabbit origin doesn't fill many aspects of it other than the large ears and the moon theme. But since they're don't exclude each other I see no reason to rule this out.

Any thoughts on this?
[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 02:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:Since nobody discussed nor counterargumented it I re-added it to the origins. Also, removed some absurd things in it:
:Umbreon as a "melanistic serval". Unlike mythological creatures who open space for imagination, comparing it to a real animal must be more precise. Servals are slim and have are quite long (length wise), have short ears and a cat-like tail. But then, Umbreon has a Hare-like ears and a fox-like tail and really short. The patterns are nothing similar as well.
:"Moon Rabbit depicted to be white". Yes, but it is also commonly depicted as a black silhouette on the moon (which fits Umbreons design). It is also called "Jade Rabbit" and "Gold Rabbit" by poets. So it could basically have multiple different interpretations. This statement is pointless.
:Bastet trivia was not relevant.

::No response '''does not''' mean you can just add it back, have patience. The set animal is too vague of a creature to make a connection, "black and canid" can describe any other canid Pokémon.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:54, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

::: [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 04:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::::Its behavior isn't chaotic or evil, judging by its Pokedex entries. To have an Egyptian motif is one thing, but the creature you are comparing it to is way too vague. All that is known about it that it is canine-like, which is way too little to try and say Umbreon is based off it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:22, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::The japanese, the original, name for the 'Dark type' is 'Evil type'. It doesn't need to be on the entries, it's right on its typing.
:::::Although vague, the Set Animal also shares some really unusual details to Umbreon such as the always erected ears and tail. And the design differences could all be taken from the hare and fox previously on the origin. I know it may not be much, but Umbreon has always been an enigmatic creature and this somewhat can fill a few holes in its possible origin. All we had so far was the generic black cat and the moon rabbit (which doesn't explain the typing and most of its design), so, can't we just consider this as a possible one?
:::::[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 04:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::EDIT: I guess that's a no. rip {{unsigned|EXLight}}
:::::::Just because it's called "evil" type in Japan, doesn't mean it has to literally be evil. Umbreon's ears and tails aren't always erect, and saying the set animal always has erect ears and tail is speculation. It's always depicted as having erect ears and tail, you can't say that it definitely has an erect tail and ears (if it were real). The moon rabbit explains the moon aspect of Umbreon, it's not commenting about its design.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Sorry, but saying that an dark-type pokémon isn't necessarily based on something evil makes as much sense as saying that water-types aren't based on aquatic creatures. Are there exceptions? Yes, there are, but these are pretty rare cases that should be considered exceptions as a last resort. Dark-types are often overlooked due to this poor localization and feels really unfair to dismiss it like that.
::::::::Umbreon is represented as having straight ears and tail in pretty much every official media I could find. Could you point out a few examples where they're notably curved?
::::::::I know the moon rabbit isn't commenting about its design, what I'm saying is: the Set animal, despite not being perfect, is the best fit for it so far. I never denied that it has influences from the Moon Rabbit.
::::::::My point here isn't Umbreon being based out of a biologically existent-or-not being used to represent the Set animal, what I'm saying is that its designer could've taken some from the characteristics of the Set animal's representation/symbolism itself and incorporated it to Umbreon's concept (Egyptian aesthetic, black slender canid, 'evil'-type, straight tail and ears, doesn't fit any known creature), that being the case it should be treated as a possible ''mythical'' origin, not a biological one. This kind of origin opens a large variety of interpretations by their creators (e.g. Dunsparce as a Tsuchinoko, Slowbro as the Sazae-oni, or Drampa as a Zhulong), so it's understandable it may not be perfectly accurate. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 14:10, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::I said you're taking the '''name''' of the type too literally. Just because it's called Evil type, doesn't mean all Pokémon of that type are going to be evil (Umbreon isn't evil by behavior or causes chaos). Just because it's called Water type, doesn't mean all Pokémon of that type are going to be sentient water. That's what I meant by taking the name too literally.
:::::::::You're making a biological comparison by saying that the "slender, black body" and "erect ear and tails" of Umbreon may be inspired from the set animal. Is the set animal actually black or usually depicted as black? All ancient drawings/paintings I've googled have it not colored, with colored ones I found usually being fan-art. As for having mythical origins, it's fine to say that it may have an Egyptian motif, which is already mentioned in the origin section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::Hmm, yes, I see, so that's the matter. You're right, it is not enough to prove a link between both, sorry about the fuss.

You need to evolve it at night, which doesn't happen in FR/LG, or with a moon shard, which you can't get at all in FR/LG and can't trade over as a held item because it's a key item. Therefore you cannot, when playing FR/LG, evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon.

:::::::All of the trade-evo ones I checked say "evolve (prevo)". The method, of course, is stated in the evo box.

You can get the Machoke and Scyther in FRLG, but they don't evolve unless they get traded to another game, then traded back. Sure, it's a tiny bit more complicated with Eevee, but it's still the same concept.

:A ten second analysis by one user isn't enough to throw away the most likely reason. Even if it looks slightly bluer, Umber is the most likely source of the name.

== Anime ==

Is it worth mentioning that despite Umbreon being the first Dark-type Pokémon in National Dex order, in the anime, no Umbreon is ever seen using a Dark-type move? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 19:52, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Is Umbreon the only Pokémon with the Ability of Synchronize that is not Psychic type (its type is Dark)? Is it notable or too small of a group to note/unnotable? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 04:48, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

== Inconclusive ==

About the Anime's lack of Umbreon using Dark Type Moves, Gary's Umbreon used Hidden Power, meaning that information can't be confirmed.--[[User:Benayla|Benayla]] ([[User talk:Benayla|talk]]) 08:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
:{{m|Hidden Power}} inflicts damage using a type and power determined by the user's IVs. The power varies between 31 and 70 in Generation II, and varies between 30 and 70 in Generations III to V.
:As far as anime goes, anime does not necessarily equal game in terms of how things are applied. Therefore, we don't see it as anything beyond a Normal-type move.

== PokèPark 2 ==

Should the side-game locations box include the location in PokèPark 2? It has the PokèPark 1 location but not the second game. And in the side-game data section it shows both PokèPark game entries. {{unsigned|AngelicEspeon}}

== Umbreon's Rings ==

Would it be notable, given the pokedex references to Umbreon being poisonous, that Umbreon's rings may be based on a blue-ringed octopus? This could also relate to the color choice for its shiny form. [[User:Yoriven|Yoriven]] ([[User talk:Yoriven|talk]]) 13:42, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
:Sounds kinda like a strech imo.
:Comparing a mammal to a mollusk just because of some ring-like patterns and an obscure dex entry, ya know? It ain't even poison-type in the end.
:And if it was their inspiration for some reason, why not reference it in the main design instead of the shiny one?
: [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 01:46, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:: Well... was going to avoid mentioning the demo leak, but it ''is'' Poison-type in the demo. Provided that that's real (and there's a lot of evidence in its favor) then that would lend credence to Umbreon's design originally drawing inspiration from a notoriously venomous animal. As for why it would reference it in the shiny form instead of the main one- you could ask Wooper the same question. [[User:Yoriven|Yoriven]] ([[User talk:Yoriven|talk]]) 02:48, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:::It's not an octopus. Just having blue rings is such a weak connection. Shiny colorations don't get their origins explained, unless it's very clearly obvious (this isn't, since it's just blue rings), since the colors may be random.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:26, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
::::I just figured, that it ''might'' connect to the shiny, but the point was more venomous creature with glowing rings = possible connection to poisonous eeveelution with glowing rings. But if you feel strongly against it, I will concede and hold my opinion. [[User:Yoriven|Yoriven]] ([[User talk:Yoriven|talk]]) 06:21, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::I noticed on Espeon's page that the trivia states that the red gem resembles a lunar eclipse, but neither of the pages state that Umbreon's rings resemble solar eclipses. I think it might reference that. [[User:AnonymousFog|AnonymousFog]] ([[User talk:AnonymousFog|talk]]) 00:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

== Umbreon's Origin ==

Well, someone removed it without explaining why, so to avoid edit wars I guess I'm gonna make a topic about it first.
Umbreon's origin has always been a mystery. I personally think Umbreon may have influences from the {{wp|Set animal}}. This is a totemic animal used to represent the god Set in Egypt, usually as a black and slender canid.

My argument to such is that it could've drawn inspiration from such since it matches the supposed Egyptian thematic in its design (the golden rings), it is an unknown creature that partially fits the description, also explains the Dark type (Evil type in Japan) since it is associated with chaotic and negative elements.

While it does not match perfectly a few aspects such as the slight curved snout, I believe this could be a valid origin to it since the moon rabbit origin doesn't fill many aspects of it other than the large ears and the moon theme. But since they're don't exclude each other I see no reason to rule this out.

Any thoughts on this?
[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 02:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
:Since nobody discussed nor counterargumented it I re-added it to the origins. Also, removed some absurd things in it:
:Umbreon as a "melanistic serval". Unlike mythological creatures who open space for imagination, comparing it to a real animal must be more precise. Servals are slim and have are quite long (length wise), have short ears and a cat-like tail. But then, Umbreon has a Hare-like ears and a fox-like tail and really short. The patterns are nothing similar as well.
:"Moon Rabbit depicted to be white". Yes, but it is also commonly depicted as a black silhouette on the moon (which fits Umbreons design). It is also called "Jade Rabbit" and "Gold Rabbit" by poets. So it could basically have multiple different interpretations. This statement is pointless.
:Bastet trivia was not relevant.
:[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 03:46, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::No response '''does not''' mean you can just add it back, have patience. The set animal is too vague of a creature to make a connection, "black and canid" can describe any other canid Pokémon.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:54, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
:::Yea, but my point is that it's a "black and canid with correlation to the plausible Egyptian thematic and 'Evil'", which fits multiple aspects of it.
:::It was accepted for quite a few days until it was edited, c'mon.
::: [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 04:04, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::::Its behavior isn't chaotic or evil, judging by its Pokedex entries. To have an Egyptian motif is one thing, but the creature you are comparing it to is way too vague. All that is known about it that it is canine-like, which is way too little to try and say Umbreon is based off it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:22, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::The japanese, the original, name for the 'Dark type' is 'Evil type'. It doesn't need to be on the entries, it's right on its typing.
:::::Although vague, the Set Animal also shares some really unusual details to Umbreon such as the always erected ears and tail. And the design differences could all be taken from the hare and fox previously on the origin. I know it may not be much, but Umbreon has always been an enigmatic creature and this somewhat can fill a few holes in its possible origin. All we had so far was the generic black cat and the moon rabbit (which doesn't explain the typing and most of its design), so, can't we just consider this as a possible one?
:::::[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 04:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::EDIT: I guess that's a no. rip {{unsigned|EXLight}}
:::::::Just because it's called "evil" type in Japan, doesn't mean it has to literally be evil. Umbreon's ears and tails aren't always erect, and saying the set animal always has erect ears and tail is speculation. It's always depicted as having erect ears and tail, you can't say that it definitely has an erect tail and ears (if it were real). The moon rabbit explains the moon aspect of Umbreon, it's not commenting about its design.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Sorry, but saying that an dark-type pokémon isn't necessarily based on something evil makes as much sense as saying that water-types aren't based on aquatic creatures. Are there exceptions? Yes, there are, but these are pretty rare cases that should be considered exceptions as a last resort. Dark-types are often overlooked due to this poor localization and feels really unfair to dismiss it like that.
::::::::Umbreon is represented as having straight ears and tail in pretty much every official media I could find. Could you point out a few examples where they're notably curved?
::::::::I know the moon rabbit isn't commenting about its design, what I'm saying is: the Set animal, despite not being perfect, is the best fit for it so far. I never denied that it has influences from the Moon Rabbit.
::::::::My point here isn't Umbreon being based out of a biologically existent-or-not being used to represent the Set animal, what I'm saying is that its designer could've taken some from the characteristics of the Set animal's representation/symbolism itself and incorporated it to Umbreon's concept (Egyptian aesthetic, black slender canid, 'evil'-type, straight tail and ears, doesn't fit any known creature), that being the case it should be treated as a possible ''mythical'' origin, not a biological one. This kind of origin opens a large variety of interpretations by their creators (e.g. Dunsparce as a Tsuchinoko, Slowbro as the Sazae-oni, or Drampa as a Zhulong), so it's understandable it may not be perfectly accurate. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 14:10, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::I said you're taking the '''name''' of the type too literally. Just because it's called Evil type, doesn't mean all Pokémon of that type are going to be evil (Umbreon isn't evil by behavior or causes chaos). Just because it's called Water type, doesn't mean all Pokémon of that type are going to be sentient water. That's what I meant by taking the name too literally.
:::::::::You're making a biological comparison by saying that the "slender, black body" and "erect ear and tails" of Umbreon may be inspired from the set animal. Is the set animal actually black or usually depicted as black? All ancient drawings/paintings I've googled have it not colored, with colored ones I found usually being fan-art. As for having mythical origins, it's fine to say that it may have an Egyptian motif, which is already mentioned in the origin section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
::::::::::Hmm, yes, I see, so that's the matter. You're right, it is not enough to prove a link between both, sorry about the fuss. Since the wiki accompanied strong references after the paragraph stating it was represented as black I kinda trusted it blindly, I should've searched more into it before considering it. Thanks for your time and patience. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 20:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

== Umbreon and the Black Dog myths? ==

We already have Houndour line as the Pokémon take on hellhounds, but Umbreon itself can be seen as one interpretation of the [[wp:Black dog (ghost)|black dogs]] in the British folklore, such as {{wp|Black Shuck}}. Plus since more people interpret Umbreon as a dog than a cat, would that be possible for Umbreon to be based on the Black Shuck or other ghostly black dogs?

'''Zigzagoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジグザグマ''' ''Jiguzaguma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Linoone}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Galar]], Zigzagoon has a {{2t|Dark|Normal}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Linoone starting at level 20, which evolves into {{p|Obstagoon}} when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 35.

==Biology==
Zigzagoon is a raccoon-like, quadruped Pokémon with bristly, zigzag-patterned fur. It has stripes formed by alternating layers of cream and brown fur. It has a brown head with spiky ears and a black nose. A black, mask pattern surrounds its brown eyes. The upper half of its mouth is jagged, and when it is open, there are two pointed teeth in its lower jaw. Its feet have three claws and pink paw pads. Its forefeet are cream-colored, but the hind feet are brown. Its brush tail is spiky and bristly.

In [[Galar]], the oldest and original form of Zigzagoon have more black and white patterned-fur. The red eyes are surrounded by a black spiked mask. The black feet contain three sharp white claws. It has a long pink tongue that is constantly hanging outside of its mouth with two lower teeth in between.

Zigzagoon is abundantly curious, as it wanders restlessly back and forth while rubbing its nose to the ground in search of something. It always moves in a zigzag fashion. It rubs its bristly back hair against trees to mark its territory, and plays dead to fool opponents in battle. The Zigzagoon found outside of [[Galar]] are friendlier and calmer compare to their Galarian relatives. Zigzagoon are capable of finding items in the grass or ground, including items that were lost. It is found commonly in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy fields}}.

The Zigzagoon in Galar are known to be constantly on the move and never settling down. It is believed that the zigzag movements of the Zigzagoon from other regions originated from its Galar relatives. They enjoy battling to the point they often attempt to provoke others into fighting it. While this succeeded with other Pokémon, humans instead mistook it wanting affection, much to the Zigzagoon's frustrations.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zigzagoon/</ref>

==Trivia==
* Zigzagoon is one of the two Pokémon left out of the [[Hoenn Pokérap]]; the other is {{p|Relicanth}}.
* A {{Shiny}} Zigzagoon was given to the {{pkmn|games}} from an interactive demo to fix the [[Berry Glitch]].
** Due to this being available for over three years in North America, Zigzagoon has the honor of having the longest event.
* Zigzagoon has the same [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]] numbers.

===Origin===
Although Zigzagoon's category suggests it is based on a {{wp|raccoon}}, it also shares several similarities with the {{wp|Japanese Raccoon Dog|Japanese raccoon dog}} (''Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus''), also known as the tanuki. Japanese folklore and legend claim that tanuki are tricksters, masters of disguise, and capable of shapeshifting, though also absent-minded and gullible. Tanukis are also known for drumming on their bellies with their front paws similar to how Zigzagoon has been known to do. Zigzagoon's body shape and appearance are also similar to certain small dog breeds such as {{wp|Pekingese}} and {{wp|Wheaten Terrier}}s.

In comparison, Galarian Zigzagoon seems to be based more on ordinary raccoons than tanukis, as evidenced by its black-and-white color scheme.

====Name origin====
Zigzagoon may be a combination of ''zigzag'' (referring to its fur pattern and unusual habits) and ''raccoon''.

Jiguzaguma may be a combination of ''zigzag'' and アライグマ ''araiguma'' ({{wp|raccoon}}) or 穴熊 ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}). ''Guma'' (熊 ''kuma'') as a suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears.

'''Zigzagoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジグザグマ''' ''Jiguzaguma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Linoone}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Galar]], Zigzagoon has a {{2t|Dark|Normal}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Linoone starting at level 20, which evolves into {{p|Obstagoon}} when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 35.

==Biology==
Zigzagoon is a raccoon-like, quadruped Pokémon with bristly, zigzag-patterned fur. It has stripes formed by alternating layers of cream and brown fur. It has a brown head with spiky ears and a black nose. A black, mask pattern surrounds its brown eyes. The upper half of its mouth is jagged, and when it is open, there are two pointed teeth in its lower jaw. Its feet have three claws and pink paw pads. Its forefeet are cream-colored, but the hind feet are brown. Its brush tail is spiky and bristly.

In [[Galar]], the oldest and original form of Zigzagoon have more black and white patterned-fur. The red eyes are surrounded by a black spiked mask. The black feet contain three sharp white claws. It has a long pink tongue that is constantly hanging outside of its mouth with two lower teeth in between.

Zigzagoon is abundantly curious, as it wanders restlessly back and forth while rubbing its nose to the ground in search of something. It always moves in a zigzag fashion. It rubs its bristly back hair against trees to mark its territory, and plays dead to fool opponents in battle. The Zigzagoon found outside of [[Galar]] are friendlier and calmer compare to their Galarian relatives. Zigzagoon are capable of finding items in the grass or ground, including items that were lost. It is found commonly in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy fields}}.

The Zigzagoon in Galar are known to be constantly on the move and never settling down. It is believed that the zigzag movements of the Zigzagoon from other regions originated from its Galar relatives. They enjoy battling to the point they often attempt to provoke others into fighting it. While this succeeded with other Pokémon, humans instead mistook it wanting affection, much to the Zigzagoon's frustrations.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zigzagoon/</ref>

==Trivia==
* Zigzagoon is one of the two Pokémon left out of the [[Hoenn Pokérap]]; the other is {{p|Relicanth}}.
* A {{Shiny}} Zigzagoon was given to the {{pkmn|games}} from an interactive demo to fix the [[Berry Glitch]].
** Due to this being available for over three years in North America, Zigzagoon has the honor of having the longest event.
* Zigzagoon has the same [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]] numbers.

===Origin===
Although Zigzagoon's category suggests it is based on a {{wp|raccoon}}, it also shares several similarities with the {{wp|Japanese Raccoon Dog|Japanese raccoon dog}} (''Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus''), also known as the tanuki. Japanese folklore and legend claim that tanuki are tricksters, masters of disguise, and capable of shapeshifting, though also absent-minded and gullible. Tanukis are also known for drumming on their bellies with their front paws similar to how Zigzagoon has been known to do. Zigzagoon's body shape and appearance are also similar to certain small dog breeds such as {{wp|Pekingese}} and {{wp|Welsh Corgi}}.

In comparison, Galarian Zigzagoon seems to be based more on ordinary raccoons than tanukis, as evidenced by its black-and-white color scheme.

====Name origin====
Zigzagoon may be a combination of ''zigzag'' (referring to its fur pattern and unusual habits) and ''raccoon''.

Jiguzaguma may be a combination of ''zigzag'' and アライグマ ''araiguma'' ({{wp|raccoon}}) or 穴熊 ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}). ''Guma'' (熊 ''kuma'') as a suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears.

It was released on the Nintendo eShop in North America on May 29, 2018, in Japan, Europe, and Hong Kong on May 30, 2018, and in South Korea on June 18, 2018. The mobile version of the game was released on June 27, 2018 on both {{wp|iOS}} and {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}} devices.

==Blurb==
Welcome to Tumblecube Island, where Pokémon™ have been turned into cubes?

Set off for adventure in the Pokémon™ Quest game. Venture out with your Pokémon buddies on expeditions across Tumblecube Island in search of loot in this free-to-start action-adventure for the Nintendo Switch™ system. Modify your Pokémon buddies with discovered Power Stones to make your ultimate expedition team.

With a cube-shaped art style, Pokémon™ Quest is unlike any Pokémon game you've seen before. The simple gameplay makes it easy to hop into expeditions and start exploring Tumblecube Island with the help of your Pokémon buddies. Afterwards, head back to your base camp where you can use the loot you found during your adventure to befriend more Pokémon. Attract various Kanto Region Pokémon to your base camp by cooking up dishes made with collected ingredients! You can even decorate your base camp with fun items that provide helpful bonuses that make your expeditions more beneficial.

==Plot==
The game opens with the player heading out to [[Tumblecube Island]], a recently discovered island which possesses traces of a civilization that no longer exists, to see if they can find any precious loot. The player brings with them a MoBee IV drone manufactured by [[Silph Co.]] to help them find said precious loot. At first, the MoBee IV acts strange, so the player reboots it, at which point it reveals that it has no data about Tumblecube Island. It suggests to befriend a Pokémon familiar with Tumblecube Island's landscape.

The player is then able to befriend one of five Pokémon: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. The goal of the game alongside finding precious loot then encompasses befriending more Pokémon on the island and training them through expeditions so that areas populated by strong wild Pokémon can be explored as thoroughly as possible.

==Gameplay==
The game is set on Tumblecube Island, home to Pokémon made out of cubes known as [[Pokéxel]]. Although they move autonomously, players can direct their [[move]]s at other Pokémon. In each stage, the goal is to collect [[Power Stone]]s and other treasure in order to complete it. These stones can power up a player's Pokémon, either in {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Attack}}, or to [[Evolution|evolve]] it. Each player has a [[Base Camp]] that can be customized and decorated with things bought from the Poké Mart or earned from progressing in the main game. There, players can cook {{pkmn|food}} to lure other Pokémon to the camp.

===Poké Mart===
The Poké Mart is a shop that sells decorations, box expansions, and downloadable content. Decorations and box expansions are purchased with PM Tickets. PM Tickets can be acquired as rewards for completing quests or purchasing premium content. The Poké Mart also offers 50 PM Tickets to the player every 22 hours as part of a Member Service. Each item of DLC comes with 100 PM Tickets.

'''Incineroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガオガエン''' ''Gaogaen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Torracat}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

==Biology==
Incineroar is a bipedal, {{wp|feline}} Pokémon with a muscular build. It has a short snout with a small red nose, bright green eyes with yellow sclerae, and tiny, pointed ears. Large tufts of red fur extend from its cheeks, and much of its face is also red. The upper half of its muzzle and the top and back of its head are black. A thin red stripe runs the vertically along its head to its snout, where it splits into a V-shape over its eyes. Its torso is gray with several black stripes and seems to resemble a wrestler tank-top; the front and back both have a single vertical stripe up the center, crossed by two horizontal lines. Around Incineroar's waist is a belt formed from flames that somewhat resembles a championship wrestling belt. In the front center is a small, yellow flame shape. The arms, legs, and tail are all red with black stripes forming bands around them. The arms have three stripes, spiky tufts of black fur over the shoulders, and large five-fingered hands with white claws and a single light red pad on the palm. Its legs have only two stripes and simple three-toed paws, and the tail has one stripe and a tuft of spiky black fur around the tip.

Incineroar's flame belt is produced from within its body and burst from its navel and waist as its fighting spirit rises. This Pokémon disregards the safety of its opponents and on-lookers, sometimes striking the opposing Trainer with attacks.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/incineroar/</ref> It is a violent Pokémon, and will sometimes ignore its Trainer's orders when it is not in the mood to listen. Despite this, it finds fighting unworthy opponents boring, and gets motivated fighting a challenging one. In addition to spewing fire from its navel, it uses ferocious kicks and punches.

Incineroar is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Darkest Lariat}} and the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}.

===Major appearances===

====[[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]====
Incineroar made its main series debut in ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', under the ownership of the {{an|Professor Kukui|Masked Royal}}, who uses it for [[Battle Royal]] competitions. It developed a rivalry with [[Ash's Litten]] and was eventually used in a battle against it. Though Litten evolved into a {{p|Torracat}}, Incineroar still won the battle. It has since made further appearances in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

====Other====
Incineroar debuted in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', under the ownership of [[Cross]]. It was used in two battles against Cross's former {{AP|Charmeleon}}, which was now under the ownership of {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}; Incineroar emerged victorious in the first battle, but lost in the rematch when Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}}.

==Trivia==
* Official confidential art featuring {{p|Decidueye}}, Incineroar, {{p|Primarina}}, and [[Mallow]] was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material, it is known that Incineroar's code name was "トラ 3", or "Tiger 3" during development.
* Incineroar is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] to have a lower [[base stats|base stat]] than its pre-evolved forms. Its base {{stat|Speed}} is 30 points lower than {{p|Torracat}}'s and 10 points lower than {{p|Litten}}'s.

===Origin===
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It also shares elements with a [[wp:professional wrestling|professional wrestler]]. Its [[Pokémon category|category]] brings to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a [[wp:face (professional wrestling)|face]], who embodies {{wp|virtue}}. It is also possibly based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstitions, given its Dark-typing.

====Name origin====
Incineroar is a combination of ''incinerate'' and ''roar''.

Gaogaen may be a combination of ガオー ''gao'' (the sound of a roar) and 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame).

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], as well as for the main characters of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is also the [[rival]]'s starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee is a mammalian, quadruped creature with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and a small black nose. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, and is mostly only found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. However, Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that allows it to adapt to many different kinds of environments. Eventually, Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there is [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|a special female Eevee]] whom, if picked as a starter Pokémon, having its cream-colored tip of its tail shaped like a heart. This trait is unique and isn't found on other female Eevee.

Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

An Eevee appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' with [[Professor Oak]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Y Veevee Eevee.png|thumb|200px|Eevee in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Mikey]] owns an Eevee in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Coconut's Eevee}}
{{main|Lu}}
An Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. This Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Vee}}
In ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]'' an Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single Pokémon}}. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of his evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though he still requires the energies of an [[evolutionary stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]] and gave him the name Vee. When he evolved into Espeon, however, he lost his mutation ability and became unable to revert to his base form.

Yellow fantasized about Pokémon that could evolve via [[Evolutionary stone|stone]] in ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'' which an Eevee was one of them.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]] in ''[[PS268|The Escape]]'', during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}, which she used to fight {{adv|Green}}.

Sometime off-panel during the {{chap|X & Y}}, {{adv|Y}} caught an Eevee, which she named Veevee. When she used her in a battle against [[Team Flare]], she evolved into a {{p|Sylveon}}.

Eevee only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Eevee appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. It uses {{m|Take Down}} to hit opponents.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Normal-type Pokémon is as adaptable to evolution as they come, with eight evolutions discovered thus far. If you pair that potential with its adorable features, it's no wonder Eevee is so popular! In Smash Bros., Eevee will attack a nearby opponent with Take Down. Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful. ''

'''PAL''': ''This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with trainers. When brought out in battle, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...it's not very effective. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest. ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Eevee returns as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. It uses {{m|Take Down}} to attacks foes.

In [[Pokémon GO]], Eevee normally evolves at random into one of {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}}. However, if it is the current [[Buddy Pokémon]] and has collected at least 2 [[Candy]], it will evolve into {{p|Espeon}} (during day mode) or {{p|Umbreon}} (during night mode). If Eevee has a particular [[nickname]], then once per nickname it is guaranteed to evolve into a particular Pokémon (regardless of other conditions).
*Rainer: Vaporeon
*Sparky: Jolteon

==Trivia==
* Eevee's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
** Eevee's English name also contains only two unique letters, less than any other Pokémon's English name.
* Eevee was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].<ref>https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376</ref>
* Eevee has the most [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]] with a total of eight.
* Eevee bears many distinguishing characteristics because of its [[Eeveelution|evolved forms]]:
** Eevee is the only Pokémon to not share any types with any of its evolutions.
** Eevee has the most evolutions of any Pokémon and is the only Pokémon which has more than three evolutions.
** The fan-made term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee.
* In [[Generation I]], Eevee is the only Pokémon to have a branched evolution.
* It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Espeon and Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} because the games lack a {{DL|Time|Generation III|time system}}. It is also impossible for it to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since neither Johto nor Kanto has a [[Moss Rock]] or an [[Ice Rock]].
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|receive an evolution]] in [[Generation VI]], though many received [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* Four of Eevee's evolutions evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}}, or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of IQ, a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolutions.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee is completely unobtainable. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.

===Origin===
Eevee shares traits with {{wp|fox}}es, more specifically the {{wp|fennec fox}}, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s.
====Name origin====
Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=normal|type2=normal
|ja=イーブイ ''Eievui''|jameaning=From the first two letters of ''evolution''

Talk:List of Pokémon with gender differences

2018-07-20T10:17:51Z

SpecialStageRoute: /* Eevee in "Let's Go Pikachu" and "Let's Go Eevee" */

== The list ==

For the list, should we do it in NDex order, or in evo family order? I'm personally leaning towards evo family order, because many of those with gender differences keep them across their entire evolutionary line. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 20:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
:I agree. Evo family order wouldlook much better --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 20:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we should show both the male and female sprites. ~ [[User:Shippinator Mandy|Shippinator Mandy]] 02:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
:That's a pretty good idea. I was actually uploading female sprites myself. But I haven't gotten them all up yet. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 02:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Am I the only one who is very disturbed that the Abra evolutions have "mustaches" [[User:Bobtherandomguy|Bobtherandomguy]] 17:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone but me noticed that Pachirisu is not on this list when it really should be? [[User:Bolmedias14|Bolmedias14]] 15:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
:Then add it. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 15:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
::Don't rush me dude, I'm new here, and still learning the ropes. I've added it now, anyway. [[User:Bolmedias14|Bolmedias14]] 15:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

== The anime ==

And now can we finally agree that inarguably gender differences are in the anime and that they do apply to Pokémon caught and evolved in a different region (remember that May's Venusaur didn't come from Sinnoh, she came from Hoenn, and then was brought to Johto, then to Sinnoh?). Therefooooore... Pikachu's a guy. The end? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

:Probably not. Revert wars would happen if gender-difference evidence were put onto [[Ash's Pikachu]] or [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. There are just some people that can't be convinced that Pikachu is male, even if the creators took over the airwaves, went on every channel (as some cartoon villans do), and flat-out says Pikachu is male. As for Pachirisu, the gender differences conflict with what some fans believe of Pachirisu (the stripe points to male, yet some people believe the cheerleading outfit is proof it's female). --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Eerie... I said the exact same thing almost word for word here: [[Talk: May's Blaziken]]
:::Bulbasaur got its game-origin gender difference through evolution. That's far from the apparently expected scenario of Pikachu's tail suddenly splitting in [[DP001]]. So I will continue to insist that the tail is the weakest argument even though I accept that Pikachu is most likely male. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 20:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Through evolution, ''in JOHTO''. Not in Sinnoh. In Johto. Which we last visited in-game in Generation II. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:35, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::...That is the most ridiculous comeback I have ever seen. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 22:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Speaking of all this, should there be a page for "Gender differences in the anime"? [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 10:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

== Torchic ==

{{p|Torchic}} isn't on the list. The male has a small black speck on its rear. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 02:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

might that just be a sprite error? --[[User:Ben7229|Ben7229]] 12:30, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
:If it was, it would apply to both genders, wouldn't it?--[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 13:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
::Not necessarily, no. Alternate-coloration Milotic in {{v2|Platinum}} had a sprite error visible only on the female variant (the again, Milotic's differences are more pronounced than Torchic's). The error was fixed for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, but all of the other Milotic sprites remained the same in transition.

::My [[$1|2¢]]: Could a sprite expert look over the backsprites in all three sets? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:44, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

== Platinification ==

Seems like it was... never done for the _f sprites. Anyone wanna handle that? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:25, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
:I might do it later. Though, should we wait for the HGSS sprites? We're just going to have to change them again. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
::For many we don't. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

== Gyarados ==

In D/P, one whisker (its left one), is blue and white (for female), whereas in Pt, it's both white. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:19, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
:Nah, the left one is just darker. Shadows. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:20, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

== Sprites ==

Why is it that only the male sprites are updated to their HG/SS sprites and not the females?
[[User:Kingofun|Kingofun]] 09:21, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
:Because no one can rip and change all the sprites immediately. ''Just wait.'' '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 09:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

== New gender differences in HGSS ==

According to a [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/index.php?tag=%E3%83%9D%E3%82%B1%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%8F%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%82%B4%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%82%BD%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AB%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC| blog entry] made by one of Game Freak's graphic designers, new gender differences have been added to some of the new HGSS sprites; they are not very noticeable and might be limited to a few pixels. She might be referring to previous gender differences being applied to the new overworld sprites, but the wording suggests something more substantial. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 09:15, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

== Generation 5? ==

I sure bet ppl are getting tired of hearing Generation 5 speculation but I found this insteresting...

On the newest "On the Origin of Pokémon" George Hutcheon explains why the gender differences in Generation 4 are so subtle!!

So, this makes me wonder, could Generation 5 feature more drastic gender differences? --[[User:Landfish7|Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]'''7 18:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
:[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net go to the forums for this stuff]. There is a whole GV forum. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig's]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A-B-Cs]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 18:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
:You called it, Landfish. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 10:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

==Standard==
For gen 1-3 Pokémon, should we include what they looked like before gender differences were added? For example, Venusaur previously always looked like the male, and Torchic previously always looked like the female. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
:I like that idea. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 10:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

==Sprites==
For this article of these I think we need to use different sprites, such as backsprites or older sprites, instead of the current Gen V ones in a few cases. At present, the Gen V sprites do not display the differences between male and female Xatu, nor Medicham( although they should, is this a mistake by the sprite ripper?). Also, there is a problem with the Pikachu sprites, the ear nearest the tail is different; and the Kricketune are in completely different poses. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 10:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:Xatu's sprites are different, but it is very subtle (try opening the two in different tabs, then changing between them). However, Medicham's female sprite was incorrect, so I have now fixed it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:52, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::Ow. Yeah, I finally saw it. But, um, that required a ridiculous effort. Can we just use the back sprites? I mean, since the point of ''having'' sprites is to illustrate gender differences, maybe we should use the sprites that best show it in each case, even if they are back sprites or Gen IV ones. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 10:26, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I'm not sure which way to lean on this one. They do show it, but it is incredibly subtle. I would rather use backsprites than Generation IV sprites, but since the front sprites do show it, I kinda want to use them. I'm conflicted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:37, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::::I can understand a desire for uniformity, but, the main purpose of these articles is to be informative. That should trump most other things. And sprites where it is difficult to see the differences are not very helpful for informational purposes. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 12:17, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::I think I have a solution. We show both front and backsprites for all of them, unless the difference is only visible on one of the sides. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:20, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::That... seems a bit excessive, but sure, I guess it works, and it will certainly serve to illustrate the differences more clearly... with one exception. Torchic. It’s still virtually impossible to see in the Gen V sprite. Honestly, it was hard in Gen IV too, but at least back then you didn’t need a magnifying glass. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 04:30, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Torchic was always hard to see. It is only a few pixels that are a different color. The Gen V sprite doesn't really make it any harder than it already was. I think the advantage of showing both front and back would be that it shows which ones are affected. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:30, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

== Female Kricketune ==

Shouldn't the female Kricketune's sprite be updated to its Gen V version?--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 22:42, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

==Backsprites==
I think we should include both front and backsprites, if they apply. Pokémon often have changes only visible on one or the other, or at least much more visible on one than the other. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:30, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

== Problem with the Xatu sprites listed on the page. ==

Specifically, they're exactly the same. Whoever updated the sprites did not realize that the newer Xatu sprite used does not actually display the difference, which is only visible when the wings are open. Could someone look into fixing this?
[[User:YourBuddyBill|Your Buddy Bill]] ([[User talk:YourBuddyBill|talk]]) 03:11, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
:It still shows, if barely. You'll have to zoom in to see the difference. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:22, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
::Huh, couldn't tell just switching between the two images. Still, if we have another sprite displaying the open wings, I think that version might suit the article alongside the 'current' sprites displayed (though iirc there's a site out there that's been uploading animated gifs of gen 6 pokemon front-facing battle 'sprites', but that would be a painfully large number of gifs per page) [[User:YourBuddyBill|Your Buddy Bill]] ([[User talk:YourBuddyBill|talk]]) 03:26, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

== Could we please mention which gender difference was the original before gen 4? ==

:It might be possible, but I fail to see a benefit to it. Additionally, it would only work for Gen III and prior Pokémon that are not Nidoran.

:::No (to the idea). It's just really not that important.
:::This page is about ''gender differences''. What the art was before any such distinction was made is totally beside the point. Trying to note that doesn't advance anything important to this page.

::::I suppose one way to handle this would be describing which gender is used in official artwork, since that's actually relevant.

The default gender also happens to be the one that Mega Evolution is based off, since they don't retain gender differences.

::I do not have issue mentioning their relationship in a separate subsection, or in the trivia.

Similarly, Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ are distinct Pokemon, not just gender differences, and I feel like should be mentioned separately (this would also allow differences to be discussed between the fully family lines if wanted). -[[User:Uncleben85|Uncleben85]] ([[User talk:Uncleben85|talk]]) 04:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Variant Pokémon

2018-07-20T10:05:42Z

SpecialStageRoute: /* Eevee */

[[File:Double Pichu art.png|thumb|230px|Artwork of Pichu variants (a [[Spiky-eared Pichu|different form]] and a [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pikachu-colored Pichu|Shiny Pichu]])]]
'''Variant Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who vary in their appearance compared to other Pokémon of the same species. This is often due to [[gender]], special traits and {{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|food|diet}} or environmental factors such as climate. Certain symbiotic relationships may also play a role in this. Depending on the species, the altered appearance may be purely cosmetic or it may affect how they perform in battles.

While many variances are caused by natural processes, they sometimes can be artificially invoked as well. This may be achieved through the use of physical modifications or behavioral conditioning, or contact with certain items and radiation.

==Multiple species==
===Form differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences}}
Form differences are major variations that are officially recognized by the Pokédex.

===Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon}}
Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon with an alternate coloration. They are extremely rare. These Pokémon all have a shining animation at the beginning of the battle when they are sent out or encountered.

===Shadow Pokémon===
{{main|Shadow Pokémon}}
Shadow Pokémon are Pokémon that have had the door to their heart shut artificially by [[Cipher]]. They are the only Pokémon capable of using [[Shadow move]]s.

===Gender differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences‎}}
From [[Generation IV]] onward, there are many Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|appear differently]] as a result of their [[gender]].

Of these, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Meowstic}} differ so drastically that they even have separate menu sprites and artworks.

===Regional variants===
{{main|Regional variant}}
In [[Generation VII]], [[regional variant]]s made their debut with [[Alola]] Form Pokémon. Regional variants are Pokémon that have adapted uniquely to a habitat different than their species normally occupies in the rest of the world. This results in many differences, such as different appearances, [[type]]s, and {{Abilities}}.

===Giant Pokémon===
{{main|Giant Pokémon}}
Giant Pokémon are Pokémon that are much larger than usual.

====Ancient giant Pokémon====
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. They were {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks.

Gengar emerged from a black dumbbell-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

===Cloned Pokémon===

===Totem Pokémon===
{{main|Totem Pokémon}}
Totem Pokémon are [[wild Pokémon]] that serve as the final hurdle in all trials of the [[island challenge]]. They are larger and heavier than other Pokémon of the same species. At the start of battle, the Totem Pokémon is enveloped in a special aura which boosts its stats.

==Individual species==
===Arbok===
Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. The [[Generation I]] games state that there are six known patterns, but by the events of [[Generation VII]], the number has increased to twenty. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.

The most common hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design appeared in the Generation I games and all games outside of {{game|Emerald}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onward, the anime, the manga (except [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), most TCG art, the FireRed and LeafGreen official art, Dream World art, and anime art. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this is the "regenerative pattern" and is present on [[Koga]]'s Arbok. These Arbok have a forked tongue and many fangs.

Arbok also has several hood variations with round eyes and a red mouth outlined in black. The most common variation of this has two black fangs descending onto its mouth, black eyebrows, and outward-pointing eyelashes. This design first appeared in the official {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork, and has also appeared in the {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} sprites, the TCG cards {{TCG ID|Fossil|Arbok|31}} from {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG ID|Expedition|Arbok|3}} from {{TCG|Expedition}}, and {{TCG ID|VS|Janine's Arbok|62}} from the {{TCG|VS}} set. These Arbok have a pointed tongue and four fangs.

Another hood variation with round eyes appeared in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This pattern has no fangs or eyebrows, and its eyelashes point upward. It has also appeared in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and on the Arbok {{TCG|Coin}} in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. These Arbok have a forked tongue and four fangs.

The final round-eye variation only appeared in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. This design has no eyelashes or fangs. A Y-shaped mark branches over each eye and connects to the middle to the mouth. The branches each have smaller, Y-shaped ends, between each of which resides a small black dot.

Arbok's conceptual art had three other hood designs, but these were only used in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, in which [[Agatha]]'s Arbok can change its markings to alter its powers. These are the speed, attack, and invulnerability patterns.

An evil-looking pattern was created by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] solely for the {{Trading Card Game}}. Each red eye has a black mark in the center and flared outsides, and shares a combined yellow border. Its mouth represents a grin with eleven pointed, red teeth outlined in black. It is featured in the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set.

===Pikachu===
{{main|Pikachu variants}}
Almost every Pokémon medium has featured a different Pikachu variant, most notably Surfing and Flying Pikachu.

===Vulpix===
Several of {{p|Vulpix}}'s Pokédex entries mention that newborn Vulpix only have a single white-colored tail. The tail then splits into six orange-colored tails as it matures, and eventually splits from their tips to increase in number even more.

{{OBP|Enta|CBF}}'s {{TP|Enta|Vulpix}} only has one tail in its debut in ''[[CBF1|Enta Arrives at the Battle Frontier!]]''. In the same chapter, its tails split into six.

<gallery class="center">

</gallery>

===Shellder===
{{p|Shellder}} can be either a bivalve shell or a spiral-shaped shell, depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Though impossible in the games, multiple Pokédex entries state that a Shellder can be detached from the {{p|Slowbro}} (making it [[Devolution|devolve]] into a Slowpoke) or {{p|Slowking}} (making it lose its memory) it is attached to. This gives them a few more characteristics of Shellder variants than actual evolutions. However, because the Shellder is attached to and evolves with the Slowpoke, after evolution they are treated as one Pokémon. Slowbro's conceptual art depicted other variations, but they were never seen anywhere else.

===Exeggcute and Exeggutor===
{{p|Exeggcute}} are not always seen as a group of six; the number of heads an {{p|Exeggutor}} has also varies. Exeggutor's [[Exeggutor (Pokémon)#Game data|Pokédex entries]] state that, living in a good environment, more heads will grow in addition to the three it is usually seen with. Eventually, one of the heads will fall off and become a sole Exeggcute. This Exeggcute will telepathically communicate with others, in order to join and form a cluster of six. Until they are gathered, Exeggcute won't be able to maintain balance.

</gallery>

===Kangaskhan===
{{p|Kangaskhan}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in Japanese is "Parent and Child Pokémon", implying it consists of two beings. This is ratified by the fact that they are all [[Pokémon breeding#Hatching Eggs|born]] with a child in their pouch. The child is purple, and has not yet developed most of the features from its parent, having to stay in the pouch for 3 years. Although Kangaskhan's [[move]]s are performed by the parent, some {{Trading Card Game}} cards ([[Kangaskhan (Jungle 5)|Jungle Kangaskhan]], [[Blaine's Kangaskhan (Gym Heroes 36)|Blaine's Kangaskhan]], [[Kangaskhan (Aquapolis 88)|Aquapolis Kangaskhan]], and [[Kangaskhan (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 6)|EX FireRed & LeafGreen Kangaskhan]]) have attacks that involve or are performed by the child.

When Kangaskhan [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Kangaskhan, the baby emerges from the mother's pouch and is noticeably matured.

===Magikarp===
In the game [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Magikarp's scales come in many different patterns in addition to its usual standard and {{Shiny}} colorations. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it's still small-sized; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the Old Rod; the better, the more groups of patterns can be fished.

===Ditto copies===
When some {{p|Ditto}} {{m|transform}} into another Pokémon, they take on a mild variant form of that Pokémon instead of an exact replica. This happens when Ditto is incapable of changing the face by memory, with the result being a deformed copy of the target Pokémon with a blank, beady-eyed expression.

This appearance was first present in one of [[Duplica's Ditto]], both in the anime and in [[the Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. It was later seen in {{TCG|Ditto}} cards from the [[EX Delta Species]] expansion of the {{Trading Card Game}}, in a kind of {{p|Clefairy}} that appears in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' with three Ditto disguised as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] in the [[Special Episode]] ''[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]''.

The merchandise series [[Ditto Collection]] features Ditto transformed into a variety of other Pokémon while retaining its face.

===Eevee===
In ''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]'', there is a special female {{p|Eevee}} whom, if picked as a [[starter Pokémon]], having its cream-colored tip of its tail shaped like a heart. This trait is unique and isn't found on other female Eevee.

Like its Pikachu counterpart, this Eevee refuses to evolve.

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (232 - 1). Some personality values can, however, produce the same apparent pattern from differing values.

===Kecleon===
A purple Kecleon is one of the two Kecleon Brothers in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. He also appeared in the special episodes ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', a purple {{p|Kecleon}} nicknamed Reddy appeared under the ownership of [[Madison and Alexa|Madison]]. This Kecleon differs in having normal frills, lips and eye rings.

===Unseen variants===
Some variants have only been mentioned in Pokédex entries; Pokémon of these variants have not been shown in any Pokémon media.

* The {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex entries for {{p|Weezing}} state that triplets of the species have been discovered. All Weezing have a third gas chamber, though it has no face.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" in the [[Generation]] {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} games appears wider; however, all Mantyke look the same within each game, regardless of origin.

==Individual Pokémon==
===Pink Butterfree===
{{main|Pink Butterfree}}
A pink {{p|Butterfree}} appeared in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]'' and paired up with [[Ash's Butterfree]], who then left {{Ash|his Trainer}} to go with her.

===Crystal Onix===
{{main|Crystal Onix}}
Crystal Onix is a special individual {{p|Onix}} that lives on [[Sunburst Island]]. Its body is made out of glass crystal. Due to being made out of crystal, it is no longer weak to {{type|Water}} attacks and instead weak to {{type|Fire}} attacks.

Variant Pokémon

2018-07-20T10:03:24Z

SpecialStageRoute: /* Eevee */

[[File:Double Pichu art.png|thumb|230px|Artwork of Pichu variants (a [[Spiky-eared Pichu|different form]] and a [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pikachu-colored Pichu|Shiny Pichu]])]]
'''Variant Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who vary in their appearance compared to other Pokémon of the same species. This is often due to [[gender]], special traits and {{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|food|diet}} or environmental factors such as climate. Certain symbiotic relationships may also play a role in this. Depending on the species, the altered appearance may be purely cosmetic or it may affect how they perform in battles.

While many variances are caused by natural processes, they sometimes can be artificially invoked as well. This may be achieved through the use of physical modifications or behavioral conditioning, or contact with certain items and radiation.

==Multiple species==
===Form differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences}}
Form differences are major variations that are officially recognized by the Pokédex.

===Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon}}
Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon with an alternate coloration. They are extremely rare. These Pokémon all have a shining animation at the beginning of the battle when they are sent out or encountered.

===Shadow Pokémon===
{{main|Shadow Pokémon}}
Shadow Pokémon are Pokémon that have had the door to their heart shut artificially by [[Cipher]]. They are the only Pokémon capable of using [[Shadow move]]s.

===Gender differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences‎}}
From [[Generation IV]] onward, there are many Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|appear differently]] as a result of their [[gender]].

Of these, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Meowstic}} differ so drastically that they even have separate menu sprites and artworks.

===Regional variants===
{{main|Regional variant}}
In [[Generation VII]], [[regional variant]]s made their debut with [[Alola]] Form Pokémon. Regional variants are Pokémon that have adapted uniquely to a habitat different than their species normally occupies in the rest of the world. This results in many differences, such as different appearances, [[type]]s, and {{Abilities}}.

===Giant Pokémon===
{{main|Giant Pokémon}}
Giant Pokémon are Pokémon that are much larger than usual.

====Ancient giant Pokémon====
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. They were {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks.

Gengar emerged from a black dumbbell-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

===Cloned Pokémon===
[[File:Mewtwo Clones.png|thumb|Mewtwo, Venusaurtwo, Blastoisetwo, Sandslash, Vaporeon, Golduck, Nidoqueen, Ninetales, Vulpix, Vileplume, Wigglytuff, Rapidash, Rhyhorn]]
{{main|Cloning}}
Cloned Pokémon are Pokémon that have been artificially duplicated from another specimen. This process works on both living and fossilized specimens. Many of these clones are not identical to their original specimen: {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}two, {{p|Charmander}}two, {{p|Squirtle}}two, [[Pikachutwo]], {{p|Venusaur}}two, {{p|Charizard}}two, {{p|Blastoise}}two, and {{p|Meowth}}two all display this.

===Totem Pokémon===
{{main|Totem Pokémon}}
Totem Pokémon are [[wild Pokémon]] that serve as the final hurdle in all trials of the [[island challenge]]. They are larger and heavier than other Pokémon of the same species. At the start of battle, the Totem Pokémon is enveloped in a special aura which boosts its stats.

==Individual species==
===Arbok===
Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. The [[Generation I]] games state that there are six known patterns, but by the events of [[Generation VII]], the number has increased to twenty. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.

The most common hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design appeared in the Generation I games and all games outside of {{game|Emerald}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onward, the anime, the manga (except [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), most TCG art, the FireRed and LeafGreen official art, Dream World art, and anime art. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this is the "regenerative pattern" and is present on [[Koga]]'s Arbok. These Arbok have a forked tongue and many fangs.

Arbok also has several hood variations with round eyes and a red mouth outlined in black. The most common variation of this has two black fangs descending onto its mouth, black eyebrows, and outward-pointing eyelashes. This design first appeared in the official {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork, and has also appeared in the {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} sprites, the TCG cards {{TCG ID|Fossil|Arbok|31}} from {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG ID|Expedition|Arbok|3}} from {{TCG|Expedition}}, and {{TCG ID|VS|Janine's Arbok|62}} from the {{TCG|VS}} set. These Arbok have a pointed tongue and four fangs.

Another hood variation with round eyes appeared in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This pattern has no fangs or eyebrows, and its eyelashes point upward. It has also appeared in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and on the Arbok {{TCG|Coin}} in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. These Arbok have a forked tongue and four fangs.

The final round-eye variation only appeared in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. This design has no eyelashes or fangs. A Y-shaped mark branches over each eye and connects to the middle to the mouth. The branches each have smaller, Y-shaped ends, between each of which resides a small black dot.

Arbok's conceptual art had three other hood designs, but these were only used in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, in which [[Agatha]]'s Arbok can change its markings to alter its powers. These are the speed, attack, and invulnerability patterns.

An evil-looking pattern was created by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] solely for the {{Trading Card Game}}. Each red eye has a black mark in the center and flared outsides, and shares a combined yellow border. Its mouth represents a grin with eleven pointed, red teeth outlined in black. It is featured in the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set.

===Pikachu===
{{main|Pikachu variants}}
Almost every Pokémon medium has featured a different Pikachu variant, most notably Surfing and Flying Pikachu.

===Vulpix===
Several of {{p|Vulpix}}'s Pokédex entries mention that newborn Vulpix only have a single white-colored tail. The tail then splits into six orange-colored tails as it matures, and eventually splits from their tips to increase in number even more.

{{OBP|Enta|CBF}}'s {{TP|Enta|Vulpix}} only has one tail in its debut in ''[[CBF1|Enta Arrives at the Battle Frontier!]]''. In the same chapter, its tails split into six.

<gallery class="center">

</gallery>

===Shellder===
{{p|Shellder}} can be either a bivalve shell or a spiral-shaped shell, depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Though impossible in the games, multiple Pokédex entries state that a Shellder can be detached from the {{p|Slowbro}} (making it [[Devolution|devolve]] into a Slowpoke) or {{p|Slowking}} (making it lose its memory) it is attached to. This gives them a few more characteristics of Shellder variants than actual evolutions. However, because the Shellder is attached to and evolves with the Slowpoke, after evolution they are treated as one Pokémon. Slowbro's conceptual art depicted other variations, but they were never seen anywhere else.

===Exeggcute and Exeggutor===
{{p|Exeggcute}} are not always seen as a group of six; the number of heads an {{p|Exeggutor}} has also varies. Exeggutor's [[Exeggutor (Pokémon)#Game data|Pokédex entries]] state that, living in a good environment, more heads will grow in addition to the three it is usually seen with. Eventually, one of the heads will fall off and become a sole Exeggcute. This Exeggcute will telepathically communicate with others, in order to join and form a cluster of six. Until they are gathered, Exeggcute won't be able to maintain balance.

</gallery>

===Kangaskhan===
{{p|Kangaskhan}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in Japanese is "Parent and Child Pokémon", implying it consists of two beings. This is ratified by the fact that they are all [[Pokémon breeding#Hatching Eggs|born]] with a child in their pouch. The child is purple, and has not yet developed most of the features from its parent, having to stay in the pouch for 3 years. Although Kangaskhan's [[move]]s are performed by the parent, some {{Trading Card Game}} cards ([[Kangaskhan (Jungle 5)|Jungle Kangaskhan]], [[Blaine's Kangaskhan (Gym Heroes 36)|Blaine's Kangaskhan]], [[Kangaskhan (Aquapolis 88)|Aquapolis Kangaskhan]], and [[Kangaskhan (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 6)|EX FireRed & LeafGreen Kangaskhan]]) have attacks that involve or are performed by the child.

When Kangaskhan [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Kangaskhan, the baby emerges from the mother's pouch and is noticeably matured.

===Magikarp===
In the game [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Magikarp's scales come in many different patterns in addition to its usual standard and {{Shiny}} colorations. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it's still small-sized; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the Old Rod; the better, the more groups of patterns can be fished.

===Ditto copies===
When some {{p|Ditto}} {{m|transform}} into another Pokémon, they take on a mild variant form of that Pokémon instead of an exact replica. This happens when Ditto is incapable of changing the face by memory, with the result being a deformed copy of the target Pokémon with a blank, beady-eyed expression.

This appearance was first present in one of [[Duplica's Ditto]], both in the anime and in [[the Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. It was later seen in {{TCG|Ditto}} cards from the [[EX Delta Species]] expansion of the {{Trading Card Game}}, in a kind of {{p|Clefairy}} that appears in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' with three Ditto disguised as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] in the [[Special Episode]] ''[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]''.

The merchandise series [[Ditto Collection]] features Ditto transformed into a variety of other Pokémon while retaining its face.

===Eevee===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there is a special female {{p|Eevee}} whom, if picked as a [[starter Pokémon]], having its cream-colored tip of its tail shaped like a heart. This trait is unique and isn't found on other female Eevee.

Like its Pikachu counterpart, this Eevee refuses to evolve.

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (232 - 1). Some personality values can, however, produce the same apparent pattern from differing values.

===Kecleon===
A purple Kecleon is one of the two Kecleon Brothers in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. He also appeared in the special episodes ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', a purple {{p|Kecleon}} nicknamed Reddy appeared under the ownership of [[Madison and Alexa|Madison]]. This Kecleon differs in having normal frills, lips and eye rings.

===Unseen variants===
Some variants have only been mentioned in Pokédex entries; Pokémon of these variants have not been shown in any Pokémon media.

* The {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex entries for {{p|Weezing}} state that triplets of the species have been discovered. All Weezing have a third gas chamber, though it has no face.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" in the [[Generation]] {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} games appears wider; however, all Mantyke look the same within each game, regardless of origin.

==Individual Pokémon==
===Pink Butterfree===
{{main|Pink Butterfree}}
A pink {{p|Butterfree}} appeared in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]'' and paired up with [[Ash's Butterfree]], who then left {{Ash|his Trainer}} to go with her.

===Crystal Onix===
{{main|Crystal Onix}}
Crystal Onix is a special individual {{p|Onix}} that lives on [[Sunburst Island]]. Its body is made out of glass crystal. Due to being made out of crystal, it is no longer weak to {{type|Water}} attacks and instead weak to {{type|Fire}} attacks.

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2018-07-20T10:00:08Z

SpecialStageRoute: /* Trivia */

[[File:Blanche Meowstic.png|thumb|right|230px|Two {{p|Meowstic}} present different appearances depending on their gender, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|right|230px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in the anime, with the male and female respectively]]
Some species of Pokémon have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran (which are considered distinct species), gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the player's Pokédex to be able to display [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], including gender differences. In subsequent games, they are displayed from the start.

Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced varied much more drastically in appearance. One Pokémon, {{p|Meowstic}}, even has a different {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}} and learns different [[move]]s through [[level]]ing up depending on its gender.

Variant Pokémon

SpecialStageRoute:

[[File:Double Pichu art.png|thumb|230px|Artwork of Pichu variants (a [[Spiky-eared Pichu|different form]] and a [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pikachu-colored Pichu|Shiny Pichu]])]]
'''Variant Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who vary in their appearance compared to other Pokémon of the same species. This is often due to [[gender]], special traits and {{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|food|diet}} or environmental factors such as climate. Certain symbiotic relationships may also play a role in this. Depending on the species, the altered appearance may be purely cosmetic or it may affect how they perform in battles.

While many variances are caused by natural processes, they sometimes can be artificially invoked as well. This may be achieved through the use of physical modifications or behavioral conditioning, or contact with certain items and radiation.

==Multiple species==
===Form differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences}}
Form differences are major variations that are officially recognized by the Pokédex.

===Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon}}
Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon with an alternate coloration. They are extremely rare. These Pokémon all have a shining animation at the beginning of the battle when they are sent out or encountered.

===Shadow Pokémon===
{{main|Shadow Pokémon}}
Shadow Pokémon are Pokémon that have had the door to their heart shut artificially by [[Cipher]]. They are the only Pokémon capable of using [[Shadow move]]s.

===Gender differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences‎}}
From [[Generation IV]] onward, there are many Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|appear differently]] as a result of their [[gender]].

Of these, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Meowstic}} differ so drastically that they even have separate menu sprites and artworks.

===Regional variants===
{{main|Regional variant}}
In [[Generation VII]], [[regional variant]]s made their debut with [[Alola]] Form Pokémon. Regional variants are Pokémon that have adapted uniquely to a habitat different than their species normally occupies in the rest of the world. This results in many differences, such as different appearances, [[type]]s, and {{Abilities}}.

===Giant Pokémon===
{{main|Giant Pokémon}}
Giant Pokémon are Pokémon that are much larger than usual.

====Ancient giant Pokémon====
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. They were {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks.

Gengar emerged from a black dumbbell-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

===Cloned Pokémon===
[[File:Mewtwo Clones.png|thumb|Mewtwo, Venusaurtwo, Blastoisetwo, Sandslash, Vaporeon, Golduck, Nidoqueen, Ninetales, Vulpix, Vileplume, Wigglytuff, Rapidash, Rhyhorn]]
{{main|Cloning}}
Cloned Pokémon are Pokémon that have been artificially duplicated from another specimen. This process works on both living and fossilized specimens. Many of these clones are not identical to their original specimen: {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}two, {{p|Charmander}}two, {{p|Squirtle}}two, [[Pikachutwo]], {{p|Venusaur}}two, {{p|Charizard}}two, {{p|Blastoise}}two, and {{p|Meowth}}two all display this.

===Totem Pokémon===
{{main|Totem Pokémon}}
Totem Pokémon are [[wild Pokémon]] that serve as the final hurdle in all trials of the [[island challenge]]. They are larger and heavier than other Pokémon of the same species. At the start of battle, the Totem Pokémon is enveloped in a special aura which boosts its stats.

==Individual species==
===Arbok===
Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. The [[Generation I]] games state that there are six known patterns, but by the events of [[Generation VII]], the number has increased to twenty. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.

The most common hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design appeared in the Generation I games and all games outside of {{game|Emerald}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onward, the anime, the manga (except [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), most TCG art, the FireRed and LeafGreen official art, Dream World art, and anime art. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this is the "regenerative pattern" and is present on [[Koga]]'s Arbok. These Arbok have a forked tongue and many fangs.

Arbok also has several hood variations with round eyes and a red mouth outlined in black. The most common variation of this has two black fangs descending onto its mouth, black eyebrows, and outward-pointing eyelashes. This design first appeared in the official {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork, and has also appeared in the {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} sprites, the TCG cards {{TCG ID|Fossil|Arbok|31}} from {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG ID|Expedition|Arbok|3}} from {{TCG|Expedition}}, and {{TCG ID|VS|Janine's Arbok|62}} from the {{TCG|VS}} set. These Arbok have a pointed tongue and four fangs.

Another hood variation with round eyes appeared in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This pattern has no fangs or eyebrows, and its eyelashes point upward. It has also appeared in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and on the Arbok {{TCG|Coin}} in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. These Arbok have a forked tongue and four fangs.

The final round-eye variation only appeared in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. This design has no eyelashes or fangs. A Y-shaped mark branches over each eye and connects to the middle to the mouth. The branches each have smaller, Y-shaped ends, between each of which resides a small black dot.

Arbok's conceptual art had three other hood designs, but these were only used in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, in which [[Agatha]]'s Arbok can change its markings to alter its powers. These are the speed, attack, and invulnerability patterns.

An evil-looking pattern was created by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] solely for the {{Trading Card Game}}. Each red eye has a black mark in the center and flared outsides, and shares a combined yellow border. Its mouth represents a grin with eleven pointed, red teeth outlined in black. It is featured in the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set.

===Pikachu===
{{main|Pikachu variants}}
Almost every Pokémon medium has featured a different Pikachu variant, most notably Surfing and Flying Pikachu.

===Vulpix===
Several of {{p|Vulpix}}'s Pokédex entries mention that newborn Vulpix only have a single white-colored tail. The tail then splits into six orange-colored tails as it matures, and eventually splits from their tips to increase in number even more.

{{OBP|Enta|CBF}}'s {{TP|Enta|Vulpix}} only has one tail in its debut in ''[[CBF1|Enta Arrives at the Battle Frontier!]]''. In the same chapter, its tails split into six.

<gallery class="center">

</gallery>

===Shellder===
{{p|Shellder}} can be either a bivalve shell or a spiral-shaped shell, depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Though impossible in the games, multiple Pokédex entries state that a Shellder can be detached from the {{p|Slowbro}} (making it [[Devolution|devolve]] into a Slowpoke) or {{p|Slowking}} (making it lose its memory) it is attached to. This gives them a few more characteristics of Shellder variants than actual evolutions. However, because the Shellder is attached to and evolves with the Slowpoke, after evolution they are treated as one Pokémon. Slowbro's conceptual art depicted other variations, but they were never seen anywhere else.

===Exeggcute and Exeggutor===
{{p|Exeggcute}} are not always seen as a group of six; the number of heads an {{p|Exeggutor}} has also varies. Exeggutor's [[Exeggutor (Pokémon)#Game data|Pokédex entries]] state that, living in a good environment, more heads will grow in addition to the three it is usually seen with. Eventually, one of the heads will fall off and become a sole Exeggcute. This Exeggcute will telepathically communicate with others, in order to join and form a cluster of six. Until they are gathered, Exeggcute won't be able to maintain balance.

<gallery class="center">

</gallery>

===Kangaskhan===
{{p|Kangaskhan}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in Japanese is "Parent and Child Pokémon", implying it consists of two beings. This is ratified by the fact that they are all [[Pokémon breeding#Hatching Eggs|born]] with a child in their pouch. The child is purple, and has not yet developed most of the features from its parent, having to stay in the pouch for 3 years. Although Kangaskhan's [[move]]s are performed by the parent, some {{Trading Card Game}} cards ([[Kangaskhan (Jungle 5)|Jungle Kangaskhan]], [[Blaine's Kangaskhan (Gym Heroes 36)|Blaine's Kangaskhan]], [[Kangaskhan (Aquapolis 88)|Aquapolis Kangaskhan]], and [[Kangaskhan (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 6)|EX FireRed & LeafGreen Kangaskhan]]) have attacks that involve or are performed by the child.

When Kangaskhan [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Kangaskhan, the baby emerges from the mother's pouch and is noticeably matured.

===Magikarp===
In the game [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Magikarp's scales come in many different patterns in addition to its usual standard and {{Shiny}} colorations. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it's still small-sized; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the Old Rod; the better, the more groups of patterns can be fished.

===Ditto copies===
When some {{p|Ditto}} {{m|transform}} into another Pokémon, they take on a mild variant form of that Pokémon instead of an exact replica. This happens when Ditto is incapable of changing the face by memory, with the result being a deformed copy of the target Pokémon with a blank, beady-eyed expression.

This appearance was first present in one of [[Duplica's Ditto]], both in the anime and in [[the Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. It was later seen in {{TCG|Ditto}} cards from the [[EX Delta Species]] expansion of the {{Trading Card Game}}, in a kind of {{p|Clefairy}} that appears in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' with three Ditto disguised as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] in the [[Special Episode]] ''[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]''.

The merchandise series [[Ditto Collection]] features Ditto transformed into a variety of other Pokémon while retaining its face.

===Eevee===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there is a special female {{p|Eevee}} whom, if picked as a starter Pokémon, having its cream-colored tip of its tail shaped like a heart. This trait is unique and isn't found on other female Eevee.

Like its Pikachu counterpart, this Eevee refuses to evolve.

</gallery>

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (232 - 1). Some personality values can, however, produce the same apparent pattern from differing values.

===Unseen variants===
Some variants have only been mentioned in Pokédex entries; Pokémon of these variants have not been shown in any Pokémon media.

* The {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex entries for {{p|Weezing}} state that triplets of the species have been discovered. All Weezing have a third gas chamber, though it has no face.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" in the [[Generation]] {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} games appears wider; however, all Mantyke look the same within each game, regardless of origin.

==Individual Pokémon==

Variant Pokémon

2018-07-20T09:41:15Z

SpecialStageRoute: /* Individual Pokémon */

[[File:Double Pichu art.png|thumb|230px|Artwork of Pichu variants (a [[Spiky-eared Pichu|different form]] and a [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pikachu-colored Pichu|Shiny Pichu]])]]
'''Variant Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who vary in their appearance compared to other Pokémon of the same species. This is often due to [[gender]], special traits and {{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|food|diet}} or environmental factors such as climate. Certain symbiotic relationships may also play a role in this. Depending on the species, the altered appearance may be purely cosmetic or it may affect how they perform in battles.

While many variances are caused by natural processes, they sometimes can be artificially invoked as well. This may be achieved through the use of physical modifications or behavioral conditioning, or contact with certain items and radiation.

==Multiple species==
===Form differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences}}
Form differences are major variations that are officially recognized by the Pokédex.

===Shiny Pokémon===

Of these, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Meowstic}} differ so drastically that they even have separate menu sprites and artworks.

===Regional variants===
{{main|Regional variant}}
In [[Generation VII]], [[regional variant]]s made their debut with [[Alola]] Form Pokémon. Regional variants are Pokémon that have adapted uniquely to a habitat different than their species normally occupies in the rest of the world. This results in many differences, such as different appearances, [[type]]s, and {{Abilities}}.

===Giant Pokémon===
{{main|Giant Pokémon}}
Giant Pokémon are Pokémon that are much larger than usual.

====Ancient giant Pokémon====
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. They were {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks.

Gengar emerged from a black dumbbell-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

===Cloned Pokémon===
[[File:Mewtwo Clones.png|thumb|Mewtwo, Venusaurtwo, Blastoisetwo, Sandslash, Vaporeon, Golduck, Nidoqueen, Ninetales, Vulpix, Vileplume, Wigglytuff, Rapidash, Rhyhorn]]
{{main|Cloning}}

===Totem Pokémon===
{{main|Totem Pokémon}}
Totem Pokémon are [[wild Pokémon]] that serve as the final hurdle in all trials of the [[island challenge]]. They are larger and heavier than other Pokémon of the same species. At the start of battle, the Totem Pokémon is enveloped in a special aura which boosts its stats.

==Individual species==
===Arbok===
Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. The [[Generation I]] games state that there are six known patterns, but by the events of [[Generation VII]], the number has increased to twenty. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.

The most common hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design appeared in the Generation I games and all games outside of {{game|Emerald}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onward, the anime, the manga (except [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), most TCG art, the FireRed and LeafGreen official art, Dream World art, and anime art. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this is the "regenerative pattern" and is present on [[Koga]]'s Arbok. These Arbok have a forked tongue and many fangs.

Arbok also has several hood variations with round eyes and a red mouth outlined in black. The most common variation of this has two black fangs descending onto its mouth, black eyebrows, and outward-pointing eyelashes. This design first appeared in the official {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork, and has also appeared in the {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} sprites, the TCG cards {{TCG ID|Fossil|Arbok|31}} from {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG ID|Expedition|Arbok|3}} from {{TCG|Expedition}}, and {{TCG ID|VS|Janine's Arbok|62}} from the {{TCG|VS}} set. These Arbok have a pointed tongue and four fangs.

Another hood variation with round eyes appeared in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This pattern has no fangs or eyebrows, and its eyelashes point upward. It has also appeared in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and on the Arbok {{TCG|Coin}} in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. These Arbok have a forked tongue and four fangs.

The final round-eye variation only appeared in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. This design has no eyelashes or fangs. A Y-shaped mark branches over each eye and connects to the middle to the mouth. The branches each have smaller, Y-shaped ends, between each of which resides a small black dot.

Arbok's conceptual art had three other hood designs, but these were only used in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, in which [[Agatha]]'s Arbok can change its markings to alter its powers. These are the speed, attack, and invulnerability patterns.

An evil-looking pattern was created by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] solely for the {{Trading Card Game}}. Each red eye has a black mark in the center and flared outsides, and shares a combined yellow border. Its mouth represents a grin with eleven pointed, red teeth outlined in black. It is featured in the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set.

===Pikachu===
{{main|Pikachu variants}}
Almost every Pokémon medium has featured a different Pikachu variant, most notably Surfing and Flying Pikachu.

===Vulpix===
Several of {{p|Vulpix}}'s Pokédex entries mention that newborn Vulpix only have a single white-colored tail. The tail then splits into six orange-colored tails as it matures, and eventually splits from their tips to increase in number even more.

{{OBP|Enta|CBF}}'s {{TP|Enta|Vulpix}} only has one tail in its debut in ''[[CBF1|Enta Arrives at the Battle Frontier!]]''. In the same chapter, its tails split into six.

<gallery class="center">

</gallery>

===Shellder===
{{p|Shellder}} can be either a bivalve shell or a spiral-shaped shell, depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Though impossible in the games, multiple Pokédex entries state that a Shellder can be detached from the {{p|Slowbro}} (making it [[Devolution|devolve]] into a Slowpoke) or {{p|Slowking}} (making it lose its memory) it is attached to. This gives them a few more characteristics of Shellder variants than actual evolutions. However, because the Shellder is attached to and evolves with the Slowpoke, after evolution they are treated as one Pokémon. Slowbro's conceptual art depicted other variations, but they were never seen anywhere else.

===Exeggcute and Exeggutor===
{{p|Exeggcute}} are not always seen as a group of six; the number of heads an {{p|Exeggutor}} has also varies. Exeggutor's [[Exeggutor (Pokémon)#Game data|Pokédex entries]] state that, living in a good environment, more heads will grow in addition to the three it is usually seen with. Eventually, one of the heads will fall off and become a sole Exeggcute. This Exeggcute will telepathically communicate with others, in order to join and form a cluster of six. Until they are gathered, Exeggcute won't be able to maintain balance.

</gallery>

===Kangaskhan===
{{p|Kangaskhan}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in Japanese is "Parent and Child Pokémon", implying it consists of two beings. This is ratified by the fact that they are all [[Pokémon breeding#Hatching Eggs|born]] with a child in their pouch. The child is purple, and has not yet developed most of the features from its parent, having to stay in the pouch for 3 years. Although Kangaskhan's [[move]]s are performed by the parent, some {{Trading Card Game}} cards ([[Kangaskhan (Jungle 5)|Jungle Kangaskhan]], [[Blaine's Kangaskhan (Gym Heroes 36)|Blaine's Kangaskhan]], [[Kangaskhan (Aquapolis 88)|Aquapolis Kangaskhan]], and [[Kangaskhan (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 6)|EX FireRed & LeafGreen Kangaskhan]]) have attacks that involve or are performed by the child.

When Kangaskhan [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Kangaskhan, the baby emerges from the mother's pouch and is noticeably matured.

===Magikarp===
In the game [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Magikarp's scales come in many different patterns in addition to its usual standard and {{Shiny}} colorations. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it's still small-sized; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the Old Rod; the better, the more groups of patterns can be fished.

===Ditto copies===
When some {{p|Ditto}} {{m|transform}} into another Pokémon, they take on a mild variant form of that Pokémon instead of an exact replica. This happens when Ditto is incapable of changing the face by memory, with the result being a deformed copy of the target Pokémon with a blank, beady-eyed expression.

This appearance was first present in one of [[Duplica's Ditto]], both in the anime and in [[the Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. It was later seen in {{TCG|Ditto}} cards from the [[EX Delta Species]] expansion of the {{Trading Card Game}}, in a kind of {{p|Clefairy}} that appears in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' with three Ditto disguised as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] in the [[Special Episode]] ''[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]''.

The merchandise series [[Ditto Collection]] features Ditto transformed into a variety of other Pokémon while retaining its face.

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (232 - 1). Some personality values can, however, produce the same apparent pattern from differing values.

In ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', a purple {{p|Kecleon}} nicknamed Reddy appeared under the ownership of [[Madison and Alexa|Madison]]. This Kecleon differs in having normal frills, lips and eye rings.

===Unseen variants===
Some variants have only been mentioned in Pokédex entries; Pokémon of these variants have not been shown in any Pokémon media.

* The {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex entries for {{p|Weezing}} state that triplets of the species have been discovered. All Weezing have a third gas chamber, though it has no face.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" in the [[Generation]] {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} games appears wider; however, all Mantyke look the same within each game, regardless of origin.

'''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu'') and '''Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! {{tt|Eievui|Eevee}}'') are the third [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation VII]]. The games will be released on the [[Nintendo Switch]].

The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at a Pokémon press conference in Tokyo, Japan. The paired versions will be released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The games are inspired by {{game|Yellow}}.

==Plot==
The games are set in the region of [[Kanto]], with {{p|Pikachu}} available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and {{p|Eevee}} available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a [[starter Pokémon]]. The player will encounter [[Team Rocket]], as well an unannounced all-new Pokémon.

==Features==
* The game focuses on the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 Pokémon}} of [[Generation I]] as well as some Pokémon from [[Generation VII]] such as [[Regional variant|Alola forms]].
* Pikachu, like in all [[core series]] games since {{g|X and Y}}, is voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]], while {{p|Eevee}} is voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/project_eevee/status/1017403291334897664 @project_eevee twitter]</ref>. In this game, the female starter Eevee will have a [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|heart-shaped pattern]] around the tip of their tail.
* The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con can be used to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in [[Pokémon GO]]. [[Wild Pokémon]] cannot be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be battled as normal.
* In addition to customizing their clothing, the player can dress up their [[starter Pokémon]] in different outfits.
* A local two-player feature has been added. Two Joy-Con can be used to throw two [[Poké Ball]]s at once at the Pokémon in order to catch it. Battles against Trainers become [[Multi Battle|two against one]], similar to [[SOS Battle]]s.
* An accessory called the [[Poké Ball Plus]] can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the [[Pokéwalker]], a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with.
* A unique training system called The Candy Jar will be used for training and increasing the stats of Pokémon by giving them various types of candy.

====Returning features====
* [[Gym Leaders]], including [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], return.
* Pokémon that the player has in their party [[Walking Pokémon|follow them]] outside their [[Poké Ball]]s like they did in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods:
* {{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].
* {{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].
* {{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].
* {{p|Espeon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[time|daytime]], including [[time|morning]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]]), or when leveled up with high friendship with a [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard]] in the [[Bag]] ({{Pokémon XD}}).
* {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[time|nighttime]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]]), or when leveled up with high friendship with a [[Sun and Moon Shards|Moon Shard]] in the [[Bag]] ({{Pokémon XD}}).
* {{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward).
* {{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward).
* {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up with a {{type|Fairy}} move and two levels of [[Affection]] ([[Generation VI]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]]).

Eevee is the [[game mascot]] and [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]], as well as for the main characters of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is also the [[rival]]'s starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee is a mammalian, quadruped creature with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored. It has short, slender legs with three small toes and a pink paw pad on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and a small black nose. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, and is mostly only found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and towns}}. However, Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure that allows it to adapt to many different kinds of environments. Eventually, Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there is [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|a special female Eevee]] whom, if picked as a starter Pokémon, having its cream-colored tip of its tail shaped like a heart. This trait is unique and isn't found on other female Eevee.

Eevee is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Extreme Evoboost}}.

[[File:May Eevee Egg.png|thumb|220px|Eevee {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Eevee]]=====
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|Egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. That Egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', who eventually evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

=====[[Serena's Eevee]]=====
Serena {{pkmn2|caught}} an Eevee in ''[[XY089|A Frolicking Find in the Flowers!]]''. It later evolved into a {{p|Sylveon}} in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]''.

=====[[Gary's Eevee]]=====
{{Gary}}'s Eevee debuted in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} sometime before ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

=====[[Sakura's Eevee]]=====
[[Sakura]] owned an Eevee in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

=====Other=====
Eevee debuted in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named [[Mikey]] was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from [[Eevee brothers|his three older brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it just like they did to their own Eevee. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated {{TRT}}, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro accepted the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

Two Eevee appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved into a Vaporeon and a Flareon during her performance.

A female Eevee, along with her [[Eeveelution|evolutions]], appeared in ''[[BW102|Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad!]]'', under the ownership of [[Virgil]], who was mentioned to raise many Eevee that all eventually evolved.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Professor Oak Eevee PO.png|thumb|250px|Eevee in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
An Eevee appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' with [[Professor Oak]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Y Veevee Eevee.png|thumb|200px|Eevee in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Mikey]] owns an Eevee in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Coconut's Eevee}}
{{main|Lu}}
An Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. This Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Vee}}
In ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]'' an Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single Pokémon}}. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of his evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though he still requires the energies of an [[evolutionary stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]] and gave him the name Vee. When he evolved into Espeon, however, he lost his mutation ability and became unable to revert to his base form.

Yellow fantasized about Pokémon that could evolve via [[Evolutionary stone|stone]] in ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'' which an Eevee was one of them.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]] in ''[[PS268|The Escape]]'', during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}, which she used to fight {{adv|Green}}.

Sometime off-panel during the {{chap|X & Y}}, {{adv|Y}} caught an Eevee, which she named Veevee. When she used her in a battle against [[Team Flare]], she evolved into a {{p|Sylveon}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
An Eevee is seen with {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} during the curry cooking competition that went on in ''[[PM027|Curry Showdown! Which is the Most Delicious?]]''.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[Mitsumi]] has an Eevee as seen in ''[[DPA17|Clash! Hareta vs. Mitsumi!!]]''.

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

As in the games and anime, Eevee is notable in the TCG for being able to evolve into the most differently-named Pokémon cards, with its eight normal evolutions, as well as {{TCG|Dark Pokémon|Dark forms}} of the Generation I evolutions and Espeon, and {{TCG|Light Pokémon|Light forms}} of the Generation I evolutions.

==In the TFG==
One Eevee figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Eevee SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Eevee in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Eevee only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''As adaptable a Pokémon as any yet discovered, Eevee's evolutionary progress changes to meet the conditions of its environment. So far, five evolutionary forms have been discovered and then catalogued for this unique Pokémon; Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, and Umbreon. All evolutions have special benefits.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Eevee appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. It uses {{m|Take Down}} to hit opponents.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Normal-type Pokémon is as adaptable to evolution as they come, with eight evolutions discovered thus far. If you pair that potential with its adorable features, it's no wonder Eevee is so popular! In Smash Bros., Eevee will attack a nearby opponent with Take Down. Sadly, this attack isn't incredibly powerful. ''

'''PAL''': ''This adorable Normal-type Pokémon's ability to evolve in so many different ways makes it a popular choice with trainers. When brought out in battle, Eevee uses Take Down on the first opponent it sees, but...it's not very effective. Never mind. Eevee may not be the toughest Pokémon, but it'll always be one of the cutest. ''

In [[Pokémon GO]], Eevee normally evolves at random into one of {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}}. However, if it is the current [[Buddy Pokémon]] and has collected at least 2 [[Candy]], it will evolve into {{p|Espeon}} (during day mode) or {{p|Umbreon}} (during night mode). If Eevee has a particular [[nickname]], then once per nickname it is guaranteed to evolve into a particular Pokémon (regardless of other conditions).

==Trivia==
* Eevee's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}.
** Eevee's English name also contains only two unique letters, less than any other Pokémon's English name.
* Eevee was designed by [[Motofumi Fujiwara]].<ref>https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376</ref>
* Eevee has the most [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]] with a total of eight.
* Eevee bears many distinguishing characteristics because of its [[Eeveelution|evolved forms]]:
** Eevee is the only Pokémon to not share any types with any of its evolutions.
** Eevee has the most evolutions of any Pokémon and is the only Pokémon which has more than three evolutions.
** The fan-made term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee.
* In [[Generation I]], Eevee is the only Pokémon to have a branched evolution.
* It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Espeon and Umbreon in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} because the games lack a {{DL|Time|Generation III|time system}}. It is also impossible for it to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since neither Johto nor Kanto has a [[Moss Rock]] or an [[Ice Rock]].
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the {{un|Pokémon League}} in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it cannot evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible before then.
* Eevee is the only pre-existing Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|receive an evolution]] in [[Generation VI]], though many received [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* Four of Eevee's evolutions evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] ({{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}).
** In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Eevee evolves using the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Sun Ribbon}}, or {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Lunar Ribbon}} with at least 1 star of IQ, a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Mossy Rock}}, or a {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Frozen Rock}} into its respective evolutions.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee is completely unobtainable. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}}, and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* Eevee is the only pre-[[Generation IV]] Pokémon to get a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender difference]] after the mechanic's introduction.

===Origin===
Eevee shares traits with {{wp|fox}}es, more specifically the {{wp|fennec fox}}, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s.
====Name origin====
Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=normal|type2=normal
|ja=イーブイ ''Eievui''|jameaning=From the first two letters of ''evolution''

'''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu'') and '''Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! {{tt|Eievui|Eevee}}'') are the third [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation VII]]. The games will be released on the [[Nintendo Switch]].

The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at a Pokémon press conference in Tokyo, Japan. The paired versions will be released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The games are inspired by {{game|Yellow}}.

==Plot==
The games are set in the region of [[Kanto]], with {{p|Pikachu}} available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and {{p|Eevee}} available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a [[starter Pokémon]]. The player will encounter [[Team Rocket]], as well an unannounced all-new Pokémon.

==Features==
* The game focuses on the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 Pokémon}} of [[Generation I]] as well as some Pokémon from [[Generation VII]] such as [[Regional variant|Alola forms]].
* Pikachu, like in all [[core series]] games since {{g|X and Y}}, is voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]], while {{p|Eevee}} is voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/project_eevee/status/1017403291334897664 @project_eevee twitter]</ref>. In this game, the female starter Eevee will have a [[Variant Pokémon#Individual|heart-shaped pattern]] around the tip of their tail.
* The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con can be used to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in [[Pokémon GO]]. [[Wild Pokémon]] cannot be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be battled as normal.
* In addition to customizing their clothing, the player can dress up their [[starter Pokémon]] in different outfits.
* A local two-player feature has been added. Two Joy-Con can be used to throw two [[Poké Ball]]s at once at the Pokémon in order to catch it. Battles against Trainers become [[Multi Battle|two against one]], similar to [[SOS Battle]]s.
* An accessory called the [[Poké Ball Plus]] can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the [[Pokéwalker]], a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with.
* A unique training system called The Candy Jar will be used for training and increasing the stats of Pokémon by giving them various types of candy.

====Returning features====
* [[Gym Leaders]], including [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], return.
* Pokémon that the player has in their party [[Walking Pokémon|follow them]] outside their [[Poké Ball]]s like they did in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Variant Pokémon

2018-07-20T09:37:12Z

SpecialStageRoute: /* Eevee */

[[File:Double Pichu art.png|thumb|230px|Artwork of Pichu variants (a [[Spiky-eared Pichu|different form]] and a [[List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pikachu-colored Pichu|Shiny Pichu]])]]
'''Variant Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who vary in their appearance compared to other Pokémon of the same species. This is often due to [[gender]], special traits and {{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|food|diet}} or environmental factors such as climate. Certain symbiotic relationships may also play a role in this. Depending on the species, the altered appearance may be purely cosmetic or it may affect how they perform in battles.

While many variances are caused by natural processes, they sometimes can be artificially invoked as well. This may be achieved through the use of physical modifications or behavioral conditioning, or contact with certain items and radiation.

==Multiple species==
===Form differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences}}
Form differences are major variations that are officially recognized by the Pokédex.

===Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon}}
Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon with an alternate coloration. They are extremely rare. These Pokémon all have a shining animation at the beginning of the battle when they are sent out or encountered.

===Shadow Pokémon===
{{main|Shadow Pokémon}}
Shadow Pokémon are Pokémon that have had the door to their heart shut artificially by [[Cipher]]. They are the only Pokémon capable of using [[Shadow move]]s.

===Gender differences===
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences‎}}
From [[Generation IV]] onward, there are many Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|appear differently]] as a result of their [[gender]].

Of these, {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Meowstic}} differ so drastically that they even have separate menu sprites and artworks.

===Regional variants===
{{main|Regional variant}}
In [[Generation VII]], [[regional variant]]s made their debut with [[Alola]] Form Pokémon. Regional variants are Pokémon that have adapted uniquely to a habitat different than their species normally occupies in the rest of the world. This results in many differences, such as different appearances, [[type]]s, and {{Abilities}}.

===Giant Pokémon===
{{main|Giant Pokémon}}
Giant Pokémon are Pokémon that are much larger than usual.

====Ancient giant Pokémon====
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. They were {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks.

Gengar emerged from a black dumbbell-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

===Cloned Pokémon===
[[File:Mewtwo Clones.png|thumb|Mewtwo, Venusaurtwo, Blastoisetwo, Sandslash, Vaporeon, Golduck, Nidoqueen, Ninetales, Vulpix, Vileplume, Wigglytuff, Rapidash, Rhyhorn]]
{{main|Cloning}}
Cloned Pokémon are Pokémon that have been artificially duplicated from another specimen. This process works on both living and fossilized specimens. Many of these clones are not identical to their original specimen: {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}two, {{p|Charmander}}two, {{p|Squirtle}}two, [[Pikachutwo]], {{p|Venusaur}}two, {{p|Charizard}}two, {{p|Blastoise}}two, and {{p|Meowth}}two all display this.

Other known cloned Pokémon are {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Seadra}}, {{p|Tentacruel}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Dewgong}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Golduck}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

===Totem Pokémon===
{{main|Totem Pokémon}}
Totem Pokémon are [[wild Pokémon]] that serve as the final hurdle in all trials of the [[island challenge]]. They are larger and heavier than other Pokémon of the same species. At the start of battle, the Totem Pokémon is enveloped in a special aura which boosts its stats.

==Individual species==
===Arbok===
Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. The [[Generation I]] games state that there are six known patterns, but by the events of [[Generation VII]], the number has increased to twenty. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.

The most common hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design appeared in the Generation I games and all games outside of {{game|Emerald}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onward, the anime, the manga (except [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), most TCG art, the FireRed and LeafGreen official art, Dream World art, and anime art. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this is the "regenerative pattern" and is present on [[Koga]]'s Arbok. These Arbok have a forked tongue and many fangs.

Arbok also has several hood variations with round eyes and a red mouth outlined in black. The most common variation of this has two black fangs descending onto its mouth, black eyebrows, and outward-pointing eyelashes. This design first appeared in the official {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork, and has also appeared in the {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} sprites, the TCG cards {{TCG ID|Fossil|Arbok|31}} from {{TCG|Fossil}}, {{TCG ID|Expedition|Arbok|3}} from {{TCG|Expedition}}, and {{TCG ID|VS|Janine's Arbok|62}} from the {{TCG|VS}} set. These Arbok have a pointed tongue and four fangs.

Another hood variation with round eyes appeared in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This pattern has no fangs or eyebrows, and its eyelashes point upward. It has also appeared in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and on the Arbok {{TCG|Coin}} in [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]]. These Arbok have a forked tongue and four fangs.

The final round-eye variation only appeared in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. This design has no eyelashes or fangs. A Y-shaped mark branches over each eye and connects to the middle to the mouth. The branches each have smaller, Y-shaped ends, between each of which resides a small black dot.

Arbok's conceptual art had three other hood designs, but these were only used in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, in which [[Agatha]]'s Arbok can change its markings to alter its powers. These are the speed, attack, and invulnerability patterns.

An evil-looking pattern was created by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]] solely for the {{Trading Card Game}}. Each red eye has a black mark in the center and flared outsides, and shares a combined yellow border. Its mouth represents a grin with eleven pointed, red teeth outlined in black. It is featured in the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set.

===Pikachu===
{{main|Pikachu variants}}
Almost every Pokémon medium has featured a different Pikachu variant, most notably Surfing and Flying Pikachu.

===Vulpix===
Several of {{p|Vulpix}}'s Pokédex entries mention that newborn Vulpix only have a single white-colored tail. The tail then splits into six orange-colored tails as it matures, and eventually splits from their tips to increase in number even more.

{{OBP|Enta|CBF}}'s {{TP|Enta|Vulpix}} only has one tail in its debut in ''[[CBF1|Enta Arrives at the Battle Frontier!]]''. In the same chapter, its tails split into six.

<gallery class="center">
File:Enta Vulpix one tail CBF.png|A one-tailed Vulpix in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]
</gallery>

===Shellder===
{{p|Shellder}} can be either a bivalve shell or a spiral-shaped shell, depending on whether or not it is attached to a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Though impossible in the games, multiple Pokédex entries state that a Shellder can be detached from the {{p|Slowbro}} (making it [[Devolution|devolve]] into a Slowpoke) or {{p|Slowking}} (making it lose its memory) it is attached to. This gives them a few more characteristics of Shellder variants than actual evolutions. However, because the Shellder is attached to and evolves with the Slowpoke, after evolution they are treated as one Pokémon. Slowbro's conceptual art depicted other variations, but they were never seen anywhere else.

===Exeggcute and Exeggutor===
{{p|Exeggcute}} are not always seen as a group of six; the number of heads an {{p|Exeggutor}} has also varies. Exeggutor's [[Exeggutor (Pokémon)#Game data|Pokédex entries]] state that, living in a good environment, more heads will grow in addition to the three it is usually seen with. Eventually, one of the heads will fall off and become a sole Exeggcute. This Exeggcute will telepathically communicate with others, in order to join and form a cluster of six. Until they are gathered, Exeggcute won't be able to maintain balance.

<gallery class="center">
File:Single Exeggcute.png|A single Exeggcute
File:Exeggutor 5 heads.png|A 5-headed Exeggutor
</gallery>

===Kangaskhan===
{{p|Kangaskhan}}'s {{pkmn|category}} in Japanese is "Parent and Child Pokémon", implying it consists of two beings. This is ratified by the fact that they are all [[Pokémon breeding#Hatching Eggs|born]] with a child in their pouch. The child is purple, and has not yet developed most of the features from its parent, having to stay in the pouch for 3 years. Although Kangaskhan's [[move]]s are performed by the parent, some {{Trading Card Game}} cards ([[Kangaskhan (Jungle 5)|Jungle Kangaskhan]], [[Blaine's Kangaskhan (Gym Heroes 36)|Blaine's Kangaskhan]], [[Kangaskhan (Aquapolis 88)|Aquapolis Kangaskhan]], and [[Kangaskhan (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 6)|EX FireRed & LeafGreen Kangaskhan]]) have attacks that involve or are performed by the child.

When Kangaskhan [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Kangaskhan, the baby emerges from the mother's pouch and is noticeably matured.

===Magikarp===
In the game [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Magikarp's scales come in many different patterns in addition to its usual standard and {{Shiny}} colorations. These patterns can be classified by groups, depending on how the Magikarp looks while it's still small-sized; a specific pattern arises when it becomes bigger. Which patterns can be caught depend on the Old Rod; the better, the more groups of patterns can be fished.

===Ditto copies===
When some {{p|Ditto}} {{m|transform}} into another Pokémon, they take on a mild variant form of that Pokémon instead of an exact replica. This happens when Ditto is incapable of changing the face by memory, with the result being a deformed copy of the target Pokémon with a blank, beady-eyed expression.

This appearance was first present in one of [[Duplica's Ditto]], both in the anime and in [[the Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. It was later seen in {{TCG|Ditto}} cards from the [[EX Delta Species]] expansion of the {{Trading Card Game}}, in a kind of {{p|Clefairy}} that appears in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' with three Ditto disguised as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] in the [[Special Episode]] ''[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]''.

The merchandise series [[Ditto Collection]] features Ditto transformed into a variety of other Pokémon while retaining its face.

</gallery>

===Spinda===
Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's [[personality value]], and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats. Unlike Unown, however, these differences are rarely repeated, as the calculation uses the entirety of the personality value—a number that can [[Personality value#Spinda's spots|range]] from [[Spinda (Pokémon)#Trivia|zero to 4,294,967,295]] (232 - 1). Some personality values can, however, produce the same apparent pattern from differing values.

===Kecleon===
A purple Kecleon is one of the two Kecleon Brothers in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. He also appeared in the special episodes ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.

In ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', a purple {{p|Kecleon}} nicknamed Reddy appeared under the ownership of [[Madison and Alexa|Madison]]. This Kecleon differs in having normal frills, lips and eye rings.

<gallery class="center">

</gallery>

===Unseen variants===
Some variants have only been mentioned in Pokédex entries; Pokémon of these variants have not been shown in any Pokémon media.

* The {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} Pokédex entries for {{p|Weezing}} state that triplets of the species have been discovered. All Weezing have a third gas chamber, though it has no face.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" in the [[Generation]] {{gen|V}} and {{gen|VI}} games appears wider; however, all Mantyke look the same within each game, regardless of origin.

==Individual Pokémon==
===Pink Butterfree===
{{main|Pink Butterfree}}
A pink {{p|Butterfree}} appeared in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]'' and paired up with [[Ash's Butterfree]], who then left {{Ash|his Trainer}} to go with her.

<gallery class="center">

===Crystal Onix===
{{main|Crystal Onix}}
Crystal Onix is a special individual {{p|Onix}} that lives on [[Sunburst Island]]. Its body is made out of glass crystal. Due to being made out of crystal, it is no longer weak to {{type|Water}} attacks and instead weak to {{type|Fire}} attacks.

<gallery class="center">

===Shadow Mewtwo===
In [[Pokkén Tournament]], Shadow Mewtwo is a {{p|Mewtwo}} that had unwillingly merged with and become possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone, causing its appearance to change. When [[Anne (game)|Anne]] wields the power of the Synergy Stone contained in her brooch, Mewtwo is separated from the Shadow Synergy Stone and its appearance returns to normal.
