The '''Southern Islands''' Collection (Japanese: '''サザンアイランド''' ''Southern Islands'') is the name given to a special set of cards for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==Information==
In Japan, the Southern Islands set was initially released with the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]] in two promo folders, each with 9 cards per set (Rainbow and Tropical Island) and decorated artwork. The collection was also released as 3-card box sets. These box sets focused on a particular region from one of the two Southern Islands: Tropical Island and Rainbow Island. The English version came as a decorated folder and included the cards, postcards and 3 booster packs. Even though Wizards compiled the collection into one set, all of the original artwork including the islands and the full picture of each region (which was split into three to provide the card art) were featured on the folder.

===Trivia===
*[[Image:SetSymbolSouthern IslandsENG.png|thumb|right|The English set symbol]]While in the Japanese version the cards have the old Base-Rocket design, the English release saw them in a Neo series design. Interestingly, this made the [[Generation II]] Pokémon featured the only ones of their generation to have Base-Rocket-styled cards, and {{p|Slowking}} the only non-Generation I evolved Pokémon to have had a square evolution box (all later card styles retained the circular evolution box).
*This was a very desired collection when it first came out in Japan. Its English release is a rare example of a promotional TCG product that has retained everything, including its original artwork, after localization.
*None of the cards have rarity symbols, as they are part of a fixed set. The English cards were numbered in the same fashion as {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}}, while the Japanese cards remained unnumbered.
*The set symbols of the Japanese and English releases are different, with the Japanese symbol as one block colour, while the English symbol is striped along the trunk of the tree.

Talk:List of unused Pokémon and character designs/Archive 1

2018-05-21T07:50:25Z

Sui: /* Girafarig and Happa sprites */

== Name ==

This page needs to be renamed, to something like "Unused Artwork" or "Unused Concept Art", due to the fact that somethings are not Pokémon. Also, am I the only one who sees a massive relation between {{p|Raichu}} and Honouguma, {{p|Cyndaquil}}? Nah it looks to me to be more of a possible Raichu evolution. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 19:32, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

> Why would Raichu evolve into a Pokemon without "chu" in it's name, who according to it's own name is a Fire-type? {{unsigned|Zeta}}

They were trying something different maybe? It just seems to bear an amazing resemblance. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]]

Did you guys think it was a pre-version of Teddiursa, but maybe scrapped when it was too related to Raichu. It is a bear, and a bear pokemon was released in Johto.
[[User:Firemaker|Firemaker]]

== Article ==

So, Bulbapedia has an article about Unreleased Pokémon, huh? Now all we need is an article on ''Fake'' Pokémon. - [[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]]

== Validity issues ==

I've always found those sketches rather dubious now that I think about it. Where did they originally come from? Is there any proof at all that they are original concept art? - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:40, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

: Excellent question. However, I do know I remember seeing them way back then on PokéFor (note the fine print on the images) around the release of G/S. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

:The ones that were obviously scanned look like Sugimori's style, especially the trainers. So, at the very least, "Unnamed Mammal" and "Unnamed Turtle" are real. One can even see the turtle with Tyranitar in the Male Trainer art. I don't know what those other rough sketches are, though. They aren't Sugimori. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 05:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

== Commentary issues ==

'''Unnamed mammal'''

''The Unnamed mammal has been said to resemble Hitmontop or Meowth''
:Really? I definately see some {{p|Wigglytuff}} in there! [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 17:20, 26 November 2005 (CST)
::This is gonna sound weird, but something about the design reminds me of {{p|Snubbull}}. It's the blue collar on a pink creature thing, I think. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 14:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

'''Kurusu'''

What website are those pictures from?--[[User:Ambipom|Ambipom]]--

== Other names and additional info ==

Back when Gold and Silver were about to come out, i remember there was an article in Gamepro magazine about the Japanese Gold and Silver that had a LOOONG list of beta Japanese names for the new pokemon, and the same article also had a few temporary English names. The ones I remember: Artibull instead of Smeargle and Xoqo instead of Xatu. Only problem is, that article is long gone. Can anyone help out?

:Seems as if some, like Flaaffy and Skiploom, are flipped. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 22:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

::Wow, I actually remember those lists from back when G/S wasn't out in English yet. Every site had their own list of names that were confirmed, then had potential names that had been registered as copyrights or whatever listed somewhere and had people try to figure out which name went to which Pokémon.

::So, of course, the reason a few of them are mixed around is because the list was made when we could see what names had been registered (domain names of each Pokémon's name usually get registered by Nintendo ahead of time, or something like that); nobody knew what a Skiploom actually was, so Flaaffy ended up with the name Skiploom in most fans' lists (I guess nobody noticed the hop-skip-jump thing.)

::There's even a few of the common misspellings of the Japanese names that showed up in a lot of magazines and stuff before G/S's English release. "Hane"/"Popo" instead of Hanekko/Popokko, for example. With those in the list, I'm actually surprised the list doesn't have "Yanyan" listed as Umbreon/Burakki's Japanese name--that was a disturbingly common slip-up that magazines used to make back then.

::I do remember some of those names, but as far as I know "Natee" and "Natotem" never actually came from any sort of official source (either stated in Nintendo Power or registered online somewhere)--I actually remember talking about how "Xatu" and "Xoqo" (the guesses for Natu and Xatu's names at the time) were good names once, and someone randomly butted in and said that they should be named "something like Naytee or Natotem" instead. So yeah, those two are definitely fan-made names, probably made by people who wanted Cheesy Cram-Two-Words-Together Names and didn't like the much-more-interesting ones like Xatu. I also don't remember "Octorock" as a name for Tsubotsubo--and it's extremely unlikely that Nintendo was ever considering it, since it's already the name of a well-known Zelda monster.

All of the Kanto names mentioned on these and other websites are genuine beta names. The poster included with my first edition 2BA Master CD had about 15 out 150 pokemon with the bizarre beta names like "dragoon" and "Guardia". These names are on the Pokemon's individual pages but they should be collected together. Same with the gold and silver names, at least a paragraph explaining the confusion that occurred among the fans. Sorry if this entry is too long and rambly :) [[User:Jurgen200|Jurgen200]]

I remember something like that in a magazine too, with beta images of the pokemon w/beta names. I lost it though. I think it was in Beckett.

== Unown ==

Those "unreleased" Unown don't have to be unreleased.

*They don't count as Beta Pokémon because they were revealed after the release of Gold/Silver.
*I doubt they were ever meant to exist in games. They might be just anime-made.
*The pictures of Unowns seen in third movie are just pictures of several drawings of Unown. They may be a pure fiction. That's possible that these Unowns never existed, but someone drew them like that.

This page is about Pokémon which didn't make it to the final game. Those Unowns aren't one of them. They are anime-wank and no one says they were ever meant to exist. Those pictures in the movie were just DRAWINGS made by PEOPLE, not photos of real Unown. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Green? It's BLUE! and other conflicts involving the Character section ==

I was reading a scanlation of Pokémon Special when I saw one of the pics that's in
this article in it!(It's the black-and-white pic of Red, Green, and Blue with thier fully-evolved starters.) I was immediatly reminded of the article and went to it, sure that the page
said that the pic was beta art.

And I was wrong, but I saw something else!

The page said that the girl in the aforementioned pic was Green.

Either Green had a gender change or the article's wrong!

Here's who's who- with the boys equated with their Anime counterparts-

Red-"Ash"

Green-"Gary"

Blue-the girl

The article needs fixing, but since this also goes into parts I don't know about-
I'm still reading Red-Green-Blue- I can't fully proofread it.

Also, I think the book under the color pic showing Red, Green, and Blue with
thier unevolved starters is Pokemon Special- at least a copy of it.

== Unnamed Turtle And Shuckle? ==

Though the article states it is similar to Squirtle, could it possibly be an evolved form of Shuckle? They both have a shell, they both have similarly shaped heads and considering Shuckle was introduced in generation II, it could have been an expansion on the family. Think of the expansions on gen II families in gen IV. This could have been the same thing. I do agree, however, it does look like Squirtle though.

The Lost Pokemon then discovered themselves just a few weeks or months afterwards, so they get credit for spreading it on the Japanese side of things.

==Game-on Exhibition==
It may be old news, but for those asking for references, I took pictures from this long-running exhibition called Game On. It had some concept works on some game franchises and Pokémon was one of them. [http://www.barbican.org.uk/bie/exhibitions/game-on Check here for info on the expo.] There were some Ruby/Sapphire sketches there, such as the Torchic with floppy ears [http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/sfirah/DSC01532.jpg Torchic with floppy ears], the Treecko sketches [http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/sfirah/DSC01528.jpg (maybe a little clearer here)] and [http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/sfirah/DSC01529.jpg the Blaziken/Latias one]. There were also this [http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/sfirah/DSC01530.jpg other sketch of a floppy-eared Torchic] and this [http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g255/sfirah/DSC01533.jpg early Groudon sketch]. [[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 03:21, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

:::Those are of most interest. If it happens to be there tomorrow do you plan to try to take a picture of all Pokemon sketches that you can? Also nice to hear you took more photos today. The beta Treecko looked like it had a bit of a Grovyle look to it on the arms. Salamence didn't look much different. Wonder why Torchic had the most redos, a floppy eared, then chubby floppy ears, interesting. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:34, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

According to the box data on GameFAQs, the artwork doesn't appear on the back of Japanese Blue or Yellow (Pocket Monsters Pikachu) either.

== The guy who looks like a gymleader ==

In the article it says he was probably a dark gymleader but to me he looks more like a ground or rock user because tyranitar is ground as well,the turtle looks like a rock type and the hitmontop thing has a creamy dirt color plus he is wearing a turban with a gemSTONE does anyone agree?And he might of been the original concept for the first gym leader since he has only 3 pokemon that again to me seem like ground thus continueing rock(ground) type first gym.[[User:VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP]] 19:03, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
forget the first gym thing.[[User:VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP]] 18:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
: Surely you meant [[Tyranitar]] is Rock/Dark-type. Anyways, it's only speculation that he's Dark-type Gym Leader (he could just have been a regular trainer), but his clothes and hair style refer to dark. Also, he most likely was not the first Gym Leader as most Gym Leaders encountered first have two Pokemon (only Roark has three). It could also be noted that some Gym Leaders have Pokémon that are not of their speciality type (namely [[Volkner]] and [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]) and Rock-type specialists other than Roark generally have very little in their appearance to connect with their speciality type, plus in final product all Johto Gyms specialized in types that were not present in Kanto, at which time it would've been odd to use Gyms that "had been" there before (like Rock or Ground Gyms). I also can't picture the polypod Pokemon as a Rock-type. [[User:Ariano|Ariano]] 12:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

== Cries ==

I attempted to post this as a comment on the YouTube video, but of course the stupid piece of shit excuse for a website kept giving me an "error try again" without any explanation. I guess this works just as well here anyways:

I've researched these cries for a while now and I hate how everyone keeps saying MissingNo. 0x45 sounds like Crobat or Golbat. Of course it does, because it is an *exact* copy of Zubat's cry. I'm following the same conclusion as everyone else (I hope it really way Crobat), but no one ever seems to realize that it isn't just similar to Zubat, it's exact. This also applies to MissingNo. 0x89 being an *exact* copy of Dragonair.

I remember, when I first saw this one in "A Man who Created Pokemon," I was certain that it was a playful reference to Kirby.

Recently I've found some possibly important info, if poorly translated on Gen II unused Pokémon seemingly from the spaceworld demo.

== Girafarig and Happa sprites ==

https://tcrf.net/images/5/5e/PkmnGS-EarlyBattle2.jpg

This image was taken from [https://youtu.be/-LPNOrsseVk?t=1m46s a 1998 video featuring footage of the Spaceworld 1997 demo of Gold and Silver]. Girafarig's original design is shown in this screenshot, as is Happa's back sprite. Unlike the [https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/b9/Alpha_happa.png sketch shown in the article], it looks like Chikorita's design was actually finalized by this point in development; the only difference being that its legs are fully visible in its back sprite in the demo, whereas they are cropped out in the final game. --[[User:CartmanKusanagi|CartmanKusanagi]] ([[User talk:CartmanKusanagi|talk]]) 06:52, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
:The sketch is just a fanart drawn from memory, so it seems only natural that it differs from the real thing. To me, this in-game screencap confirms that Happa was already a fully-realized "Chikorita" at that point, design-wise at least. Therefore, it should be treated as a beta name, rather than an "unreleased design", in my opinion. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 11:45, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
::I've added screenshots for Beta Girafarig and Hoppip, both from the same footage at SpaceWorld 1997. I will remove the section on this page for 'Happa' as clearly Chikorita was a finalised design by this point. It strikes me that both the sketches for Beta Marill and Beta Qwilfish are highly likely to be misremembered fan interpretations, and that both of these designs could well have been finalised by 1997. However the longevity of these sketches probably earns them the right to remain, at least until screenshots surface proving otherwise.

:::Considering that Chikorita/Happa's early artwork still displays demonstrable differences from its final appearance (yellow eyes and neck buds, an indistinct blob-like body with multiple small 'legs'), it's been moved to the 'Minor alterations' section in subsequent revisions.

==Alleged unused Pokémon we only know the name of==
The Japanese Pokémon Wiki has had these listed for quite a long time (source: https://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/没ポケモンの一覧 relevant section: "名前のみで未発表になったポケモン"), and I think (though I'm not exactly sure), they may have been talked about in old accounts of the Space World 1997 demo, but given the Mandella effect it may be risky to add them, especially Netamon which is almost a typo of Metamon (Ditto).

These included: Aqua, Eleking, Netamon and allegedly shown in a video during the demo explaining new features of the Pokédex: Aquaria, Animon, Ikari.

[https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver#Pok%C3%A9mon The Cutting Room Floor article]

Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo, belly, has arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character.

These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]]}}

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen.

Bukū's name is derived from ''fugu'', the Japanese word for blowfish. It is most likely an early version of Qwilfish. Notable differences between Qwilfish and this pre-release version are the colors, and shape of the tail. Notably, the shape of the tail does appear slightly similar to the length of the tail in Qwilfish's [[Generation II]] back sprite.

Prototype back sprites of Shellos and Gastrodon show another form for each. These forms are possibly leftovers from when Shellos and Gastrodon were planned to be in Generation III.

Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its Western variation, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body.}}

This early version of Lapras is recognizably similar, but visually quite different. Lapras's curly ears are not present, and the underbelly coloration ends under the lower jaw instead of including it. There are also no visible appendages or tail, but that may be due to the water.

Both early artwork of Bellossom and its Gold and Silver artwork show that it was originally to be a similar color to its other evolutionary relatives.

This early version of Tyranitar is nearly identical to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It was shown alongside two unnamed Pokémon (seen in the section above) on the cover of a Japanese gaming magazine, where it was the only early design to become a released Pokémon. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo, belly, has arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. It seems peculiar that Tyranitar was nearly completed at the time, but the other two featured Pokémon were never seen in their original designs.}}

This art of a female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]].  A similar character appears [[Media:Sugi art book.png|several]] [[Media:Kensugiart3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom). When Red and Green were later {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remade|s}}, players finally got the chance to use a {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} who was possibly based on this character.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character. After the release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Green donned the same outfit as the female player character in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen|fifth chapter}} of the manga.

These are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product.

Bukū's name is derived from ''fugu'', the Japanese word for blowfish. It is most likely an early version of Qwilfish. Notable differences between Qwilfish and this pre-release version are the colors, and shape of the tail. Notably, the shape of the tail does appear slightly similar to the length of the tail in Qwilfish's [[Generation II]] back sprite.

This early version of Tyranitar is nearly identical to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It was shown alongside two unnamed Pokémon (seen in the section above) on the cover of a Japanese gaming magazine, where it was the only early design to become a released Pokémon. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo, belly, has arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. It seems peculiar that Tyranitar was nearly completed at the time, but the other two featured Pokémon were never seen in their original designs.}}

This art of a female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]].  A similar character appears [[Media:Sugi art book.png|several]] [[Media:Kensugiart3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom). When Red and Green were later {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remade|s}}, players finally got the chance to use a {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} who was possibly based on this character.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character. After the release of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Green donned the same outfit as the female player character in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen|fifth chapter}} of the manga.

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the Pokémon series, a number of creatures with traits of Pokémon have appeared. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed.

{{TrainerPoké
|nick=Egg and Chick

|img=
|epnum=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|epname=Pokémon Red and Green beta
|desc= In Pokémon Red and Green there is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)#Invalid items (adjacent names)|unused text]] for extra badges, "Egg" and "Chick", "Bronze" "Silver" and "Gold", and what appears to be the names of unused Trainer classes. These strings are defined in the ROM directly after floor names, which follow on from item names, meaning that the unused text can be forced as glitch items. The text remains untranslated in the localised Red and Blue, and Egg and Chick are kept with the names "たまご" and "ひよこ" respectively. This results in illegible text in the English versions, because the character table for the localised [[Generation I]] games is incompatible with Red and Green. It is unknown what "Egg" and "Chick" would have referred to, or whether the concept was a precursor to [[Pokémon Egg]]s. The text matches early [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork in which an unknown creature can be seen fleeing from an egg. The concept may also be reminiscent of the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Fresh egg|Fresh egg}} and {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chick|Chick}} items in {{wb|EarthBound}}, in which the player would keep the Egg until it hatched into a Chick, and then raise the {{wb|List of recovery items in EarthBound#Chicken|Chicken}} and eventually sell it. EarthBound was a game that {{wb|Ape Inc.}} developed; the company that eventually became [[Creatures, Inc.]] }}

Even with the advent of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[baby Pokémon]], the baby Kangaskhan has yet to be made into a separate Pokémon, and as a result, all Kangaskhan are born with a baby already in its pouch.

The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

While Genesect is a cyborg Pokémon, it did not previously take this form. The modern Genesect was revived by [[Team Plasma]] from a [[fossil]] of this Pokémon, and modified into its present appearance. According to Genesect's Pokédex entries, it existed over 300 million years ago, and was feared as a powerful hunter. Due to its lack of Team Plasma alterations, it is unlikely that it would have been part {{type|Steel}}, nor would it have access to {{m|Techno Blast}} or similar moves.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' and its [[Genesect and the Legend Awakened (manga)|manga adaptation]], fossilized parts of the original Genesect's body are seen. These fossils bear a great similarity to the bodily structure of the modern Genesect. However, these fossils have not yet been seen anywhere outside of the {{pkmn|anime}}.}}

|desc=A silhouette possibly of a Pokémon was discovered while rummaging through coding of the recently launched Trading Card Game Online. This silhouette was discovered in the navigation bar on the game's tutorial page, combined with images of the Unova starter Pokémon. No additional information on the silhouette was contained in the source code of the tutorial's Flash file.

Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance. Due to its rather early appearance in the Johto series of the anime, it is unlikely to have been intended to be in the games, and can be considered to be an anime-exclusive creature.}}

'''Saffron City''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキシティ''' ''Yamabuki City'') is a sprawling metropolis in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. It lies in between [[Celadon City]], [[Vermilion City]], [[Lavender Town]], and [[Cerulean City]]. It is home to [[Sabrina]], the city's [[Gym Leader]].

It is modeled after Japan's capital city of {{wp|Tokyo}} and is the largest and one of the busiest cities in Kanto, being famous even in other regions. It is the tenth most populous city in the [[Pokémon world]] and one of the only cities in Kanto that has enough visible houses to accommodate its population in the games. The large [[Silph Co.]] headquarters building stands firm as the city's centerpiece while two [[Gym]]s dominate the north-eastern corner district. Not only is this the central business district of Kanto, it also holds the region's largest infrastructure, including the [[Magnet Train]] station, which allows ease of access between Kanto and [[Johto]].

==Slogan==
===Generations I-III===
'''''Shining, Golden Land of Commerce''''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキ　きんいろ　かがやきのいろ''' ''Yamabuki is the color of golden radiance.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''Shining Big City''''' (Japanese: '''ひかり　かがやく　だいとかい''' ''Shining big city'')

==Access==
===Generations I and III===
Traveling to Saffron City is impossible at first, as the guards at the city's [[gate]]s are thirsty and will not let anyone through. After giving any of the guards a [[drink]] from the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games or {{DL|Drink|Tea}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, they will let the {{player}} pass.

===Generations II and IV===
The {{player}} does not need to fulfill certain requirements in order to access the city.

==Places of interest==
===Silph Co.'s headquarters===
{{main|Silph Co.}}
The Silph Co. Headquarters is the largest and tallest building in the city. They are the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology in the world, and produce a variety of goods for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as the [[Poké Ball]] and the [[Silph Scope]]. Their status made them a target in the [[Generation I]] storyline, in which [[Team Rocket]] orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City. The {{player}} will arrive just in time to take on the mission of driving them out of the city, and the President of Silph will reveal afterwards the top-secret development Team Rocket was after: the [[Master Ball]], which can {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} without fail.

The Silph Co. Office Building is an eleven-floor skyscraper, and effectively a giant maze. People must navigate the building using [[warp tile]]s in order to reach different rooms. Some people hold a [[Card Key]], which unlocks Silph's doors like a hotel key. During the events of the Team Rocket takeover, the player must find the Card Key on the fourth floor of the building. All the while, the player must battle numerous {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, including the [[Rocket Brothers]], and one {{tc|Juggler}}. After this, the player may continue on to the board room to face [[Giovanni]] for the Master Ball. After driving Team Rocket out of the Silph headquarters, the player is free to explore the building and talk to the employees.

In [[Generation II]], Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. One of the guards, however, will kindly give the player an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}} for talking to him, which will allow a {{p|Porygon}} to evolve, through a trade, into {{p|Porygon2}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, one of the [[Hoenn]] region's [[starter Pokémon]] may be obtained here towards the end of the game from the Hoenn Champion himself, {{Steven}}. The alternate forms of {{p|Rotom}} may also be accessed here in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and the notebook present in the room Rotom's appliances can be found in indicates that [[Charon]] may have had past connection to the company.

===Fighting Dojo===
{{main|Fighting Dojo}}
[[File:Fighting Dojo FRLG.png|thumb|right|200px|The Fighting Dojo in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In addition to [[Sabrina]]'s {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]], there is also a secondary Gym, the Fighting Dojo, which specializes in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is where the {{player}} can obtain either {{p|Hitmonchan}} or {{p|Hitmonlee}} in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}} but only if the Karate Master [[Kiyo]] (mistakenly called Koichi in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}) is defeated.

It has been established that the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once competed against each other to determine which one would be the [[Indigo League]]'s sixth Gym. Due to the {{DL|Damage modification|Super effective|type advantage}} that the Psychic-type Pokémon that were trained at the Saffron Gym had over the Fighting-type Pokémon used by the Dojo, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official Gym.

The Dojo is closed in [[Generation II]] because the Karate Master is training in [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Mortar]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] can be found here for a rematch, much like how the [[Sinnoh]] Gym Leaders can be found for a rematch in the [[Battleground]] in {{game|Platinum}}. Unlike Platinum, the Leaders have set times at which they will appear and they will not arrive at the Dojo until certain conditions have been met elsewhere in the game. Specifically, each Leader's [[Pokégear]] telephone number must be obtained while he or she is not in their Gym. Once the Gym Leader has been telephoned, he or she will accept multiple rematches, provided it is still within their allotted time period.
{{-}}
===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train GSC.png|thumb|200px|The Magnet Train at the station in Generation II]]
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Magnet Train]] runs from Saffron City to [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], connecting the two [[region]]s. It is one of the few methods {{player}}s can use to travel from region to region, and it will allow rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour (550 kilometers per hour).

To board the train, the player must have a {{key|IV|Pass}}. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Saffron City has one and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her the {{key|IV|Lost Item|Poké Doll}} that {{ga|Red}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]]. Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable {{key|IV|Machine Part|part}} from the [[Kanto Power Plant]]. After defeating him on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, the player can retrieve the part from the [[Cerulean Gym]] and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Vermilion City]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]] will come here and offer to trade his {{p|Pikachu}} for the player's Pikachu. This Pikachu is notable because it originates from a different language than that of the player's game: in the Japanese releases, it is English, whereas in the English releases, it is French.
{{-}}

===Mr. Psychic's house===
Mr. Psychic lives in a small house that is located on the southeastern side of the city, being better accessible by entering Saffron City from the southern entrance. He sits at a table in the middle of the room. When talked to for the first time in every game he is featured on, he will claim to know that the {{player}} really wants to receive a gift from him, giving away {{TM|29|Psychic}} to the player.

===Copycat's house===
{{main|Copycat (character)}}
In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Copycat lives in a house that is located in the northwestern suburb of the city. She will give the [[TM]] for {{m|Mimic}} in the Generation I games or serve as the [[Move Tutor]] for it in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, in return for a {{p|Clefairy}}-style {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}}. In her bedroom, there is a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] with a {{smw|Mario & Wario|game}} that has {{smw|Mario}} with a bucket on his head.

In between the events of Generations I and {{gen|II}}, Copycat's house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the [[Magnet Train]] station.

In the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Copycat's Clefairy doll goes missing, being found by a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]]. When the {{player}} returns her lost doll, Copycat will reward them with a ticket to ride the [[Magnet Train]] that travels between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

===Pokémon Trainer Fan Club===

The Saffron Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Saffron City. It is based on {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Sabrina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Marsh}}. The Saffron Gym is a maze of warp tiles and nine rooms, seven of which contain Trainers, while the other two are Sabrina's room and the entrance. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, this was changed to four rooms with trainers in.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow|}}, the population is 50, not including the members of Team Rocket who eventually leave.
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|}}, the population is 35. This drastic decrease is due to both the Fighting Dojo shutting down and the restriction of access to Silph Co.'s upper floors.
===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population is 63, making it one of the biggest cities in the [[Pokémon world]] and the second biggest in [[Kanto]].
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Saffron City's population is 47.

==Differences in generations==
[[Image:RG Saffron City.png|right|thumb|180px|Artwork of Saffron City from {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
In between the events of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the [[Magnet Train]] station.

In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a sign advertising [[Silph Co.]]'s "latest product" with a release date not defined.

==Unused map==
[[File:Saffron City unused FRLG.png|thumb|right|200px|The unused map of Saffron City from FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the overworld's collision data is bypassed in order to skip any of the [[gate]]s surrounding the city, the player will access an alternate version of Saffron City, whereby all warps and events are absent. This is because the real Saffron City is not directly connected to its adjacent routes so the game loads a copy of the map that assures the continuity of the overworld.

This is not the case in the [[Generation I]] games. The map of "fake" Saffron City is also very similar to that of the original games in that its boundaries are set so that it leaves the gates outside of the map. Its in-game behavior is alike the Generation I games as well.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===In Super Smash Bros.===
{{main|Saffron City (stage)}}
[[File:Saffron City SSB.png|thumb|200px|Saffron City in [[Super Smash Bros.]]]]
'''{{St|Saffron City}}''' appears as a playable stage, specifically the roof of [[Silph Co.]], in [[Super Smash Bros.]] In the background, the text "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" and "{{rt|5|Kanto}}" can be seen. A mountain range in the background may be the same one that contains [[Mt. Moon]], {{OBP|Victory Road|Kanto}}, [[Cerulean Cave]], and [[Mt. Silver]]. There is also a minor building with some blurry text that seems to start with "F", so it could possibly be the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator in the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from {{DL|Poké Ball|In the Super Smash Bros. series|Poké Balls}}. Occasionally, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, and other {{type|Flying}} Pokémon will appear in the background.

During the game's intro, {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen rolling on a [[Poké Ball]] as a person walks by.

===In Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Saffron City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Lapras}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Saffron City anime.png|thumb|200px|Saffron City in the anime]]
[[File:Saffron Contest Hall.png|thumb|left|200px|Saffron Contest Hall]]
===In the main series===
Saffron City first appeared in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were initially caught and trapped by {{TRT}}, but were soon freed by a mysterious little girl, who turned out to be [[Sabrina]]'s doll. Wanting to earn the Saffron Gym Badge, Ash entered the Gym and challenged Sabrina into a battle, using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against Sabrina's {{p|Abra}}. During the battle, Abra evolved into a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and easily overwhelmed Pikachu, making Ash eventually give up. Following the advice [[Sabrina's father|a mysterious man]], Ash and his friends headed to [[Lavender Town]] to obtain a {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon to combat Sabrina.

Ash and his friends returned to Saffron City in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', accompanied by a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} Ash has befriended. Unfortunately, Haunter preferred comedy over battling, and disappeared before the rematch. Ash managed to find Haunter again, but it disappeared yet again when Ash re-entered the Gym. To protect Ash, Pikachu faced Sabrina's Kadabra. After a while, Haunter appeared and made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years. As her Kadabra was rendered unable to battle by the laughter, Sabrina gave Ash the {{badge|Marsh}} and kept Haunter with her.

The city appeared again in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' and ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', when {{an|May}} competed in and won her first [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Contest]] there.
{{-}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
Saffron City appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]''. Soon after arriving into the city, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, and together they saved a woman from being harassed by [[Team Rocket]]. The woman revealed herself to be the Silph Co.'s president's secretary, and told the two Trainers that Team Rocket had taken over the company, intending to steal the [[Master Ball]] they were developing. Wanting to free the Pokémon used in the development tests, Red stormed the Silph Co., releasing all the imprisoned Pokémon and {{tc|Scientist}}s inside. At the top floor, he encountered the Boss of Team Rocket, [[Giovanni]]. He had a battle against the criminal leader, but was easily defeated, and Giovanni got away.

Following the Silph Co. incident, Red challenged Sabrina to a Gym battle and defeated her, earning the Marsh Badge. Afterwards, he challenged the [[Kiyo|Karate Master]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and won, earning himself a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Saffron City first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' and ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. [[Sabrina]] had put a big force field over the city so nobody could get in and the [[Silph Co.]] building became [[Team Rocket]]'s main base.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} arrives in Saffron City in the seventh chapter, ''[[PZ07|Yamabuki City]]''. With [[Sabrina]]'s help, Satoshi defeated [[Giovanni]], who had taken over the city and the [[Silph Co.]] office building. For his help, Satoshi earned the {{Badge|Marsh}}.

Poké Ball

2015-09-26T16:34:51Z

Sui: /* In the games */

{{Featured|May 9, 2007}}
[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|right|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of all three [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]

Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{mov|Rebecca}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon) or cannot be thrown:

* In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] unless all wild Pokémon are defeated except one, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim unless there is only one Pokémon!" in Horde Encounters, and "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" in Double Battles. However, in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* In [[Generation V]], when encountering two wild Pokemon in [[dark grass]] (without the aid of an NPC partner), it is not possible to issue commands to a Pokémon during the same turn as throwing a Poké Ball (though it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move).
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.

===Capture chances===

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle beginning in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball in which case the Pokémon will be in a Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or genderless Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is only available in Generations I, III, and IV. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Generation IV, none of these Poké Balls can be held due to not existing in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

}}

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], when a player "speaks" to a Pokémon, a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

==In the anime==
===In the core series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelutions]] inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Satsuki's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.

The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY078|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the latter was not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball, one was never shown in the episode. {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. In ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside its Poké Ball in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon. Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from status conditions nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third and fourth goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in.

[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, which appears in a swarm and uses {{m|Poison Sting}}; {{p|Blastoise}}, which uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}; {{p|Chansey}}, which uses {{m|Softboiled}}, generating eggs that contain various items; {{p|Charizard}}, which uses {{m|Flamethrower}}; {{p|Clefairy}}, which uses {{m|Metronome}} to copy one of the other attacks used; {{p|Goldeen}}, which uses {{m|Splash}}, which does nothing; {{p|Hitmonlee}}, which uses {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}; {{p|Koffing}}, which uses {{m|Smog}}; {{p|Meowth}}, which uses {{m|Pay Day}}; {{p|Mew}}, which flies off the screen and does nothing aside from giving bonus points during 1P mode; {{p|Onix}}, which uses {{m|Rock Slide}}; {{p|Snorlax}}, which uses {{m|Body Slam}}; or {{p|Starmie}}, which uses {{m|Swift}}.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes to include [[Generation II]] Pokémon. {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, and {{p|Snorlax}} return with the same attacks as the previous game, though Clefairy’s Metronome will result in either {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Self-Destruct}}, or {{m|Waterfall}}. Additionally, the Pokémon released can include {{p|Articuno}}, which uses {{m|Blizzard}}; {{p|Bellossom}}, which uses {{m|Sleep Powder}}; {{p|Celebi}}, which acts identically to Mew; {{p|Chikorita}}, which uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}; {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which uses {{m|Flamethrower}}; {{p|Electrode}}, which uses {{m|Explosion}}; {{p|Entei}}, which uses {{m|Fire Spin}}; {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which uses {{m|Sacred Fire}}; {{p|Lugia}}, which uses {{m|Aeroblast}}; {{p|Marill}}, which uses {{m|Double Slap}}; {{p|Moltres}}, which uses {{m|Sky Attack}}; {{p|Porygon2}}, which uses {{m|Tackle}}; {{p|Raikou}}, which uses {{m|Thunder}}; {{p|Scizor}}, which uses {{m|Metal Claw}}, executed similarly to {{p|Hitmonlee}} in the previous game; {{p|Suicune}}, which uses {{m|Icy Wind}}; {{p|Staryu}}, which uses {{m|Swift}}, identical to {{p|Starmie}} in the previous game; {{p|Togepi}}, which uses {{m|Metronome}}, which can result in either {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Night Shade}}, {{m|Powder Snow}}, or {{m|Sleep Powder}}; {{p|Unown}}, which uses {{m|Hidden Power}}, resulting in a swarm of them flying across the screen, identical to {{p|Beedrill}} in the previous game; {{p|Venusaur}}, which uses {{m|Earthquake}}; {{p|Weezing}}, which uses {{m|Poison Gas}}, similar to {{p|Koffing}} in the previous game; {{p|Wobbuffet}}, which uses {{m|Counter}} when it is attacked; or {{p|Zapdos}}, which uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing.

In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon are added. {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} return with the same moves as the previous games, while four returning Pokémon behave differently: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}} drop items as they fly away (trophies, stickers, or CDs), {{p|Suicune}} now uses {{m|Aurora Beam}} rather than {{m|Icy Wind}}, and {{p|Togepi}}’s {{m|Metronome}} results in {{m|Smokescreen}} rather than {{m|Night Shade}}. The newcomers are {{p|Bonsly}}, which uses {{m|Flail}} when picked up and thrown; {{p|Deoxys}}, which uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}; {{p|Gardevoir}}, which uses {{m|Reflect}}; {{p|Groudon}}, which uses {{m|Overheat}}; {{p|Gulpin}}, which swallows the first opponent that comes near; {{p|Jirachi}}, which behaves identically to Celebi and Mew; {{p|Kyogre}}, which uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}; {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}, both of whom use {{m|Steel Wing}}; {{p|Manaphy}}, which uses {{m|Heart Swap}}; {{p|Metagross}}, which uses {{m|Earthquake}}; {{p|Munchlax}}, which eats any items nearby; {{p|Piplup}}, which uses {{m|Surf}}; {{p|Torchic}}, which uses {{m|Ember}}; and {{p|Weavile}}, which uses {{m|False Swipe}}.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

The fourth installment adds [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]] Pokémon. The returning Pokémon are {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Suicune}}, and {{p|Togepi}}. The new Pokémon are {{p|Abomasnow}}, which uses both {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}; {{p|Arceus}}, which uses {{m|Gravity}}; {{p|Chespin}}, which uses {{m|Seed Bomb}}; {{p|Darkrai}}, which uses {{m|Dark Void}}; {{p|Dedenne}}, which uses {{m|Discharge}}; {{p|Eevee}}, which uses {{m|Take Down}}; {{p|Fennekin}}, which uses {{m|Incinerate}}; {{p|Fletchling}}, which uses {{m|Peck}}; {{p|Genesect}}, which uses {{m|Techno Blast}}; {{p|Giratina}}, which uses {{m|Dragon Breath}}; {{p|Gogoat}}, which uses {{m|Take Down}}; {{p|Inkay}}, which uses {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}; {{p|Keldeo}}, which uses {{m|Secret Sword}}; {{p|Kyurem}}, which uses {{m|Icy Wind}}; {{p|Meloetta}}, which uses {{m|Echoed Voice}}; {{p|Oshawott}}, which uses {{m|Surf}}, identical to {{p|Piplup}} in the previous game; {{p|Palkia}}, which uses {{m|Spacial Rend}}; {{p|Snivy}}, which uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}; {{p|Spewpa}}, which uses {{m|Stun Spore}} when attacked, similar to {{p|Wobbuffet}} in the previous game; {{p|Swirlix}}, which uses {{m|Cotton Spore}}; {{p|Victini}}, which uses its {{a|Victory Star}} ability to power up the player that released it; {{p|Xerneas}}, which uses {{m|Geomancy}}; and {{p|Zoroark}}, which uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}.

Additionally, the Master Ball becomes an item in this game. It behaves identically to a normal Poké Ball, but it almost always releases a powerful Pokémon, either Zoroark or one of the Legendary Pokémon. Unfortunately, there is also a chance that it can contain Goldeen.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any umber of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''

====Master Ball====
[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard- to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam|Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles.

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the Team Plasma variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]].

====Generation V====
The Apricorn Poké Balls, the Safari Ball, and the Sport Ball, while programmed into the game, cannot be used to catch Pokémon and can be seen only in the Pokémon summary screen or when sending out a Pokémon. Sprites seen below are at full size as they are seen as they are when player's Pokémon is sent out after a switch.

Outside of the battles, Generation I Poké Balls (except the Safari Ball) are all seen in the minigame {{p|Furret}}'s Frolic in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Poké Ball is worth 1 point, Great Ball 2, Ultra Ball 3 and [[Master Ball]] 5.

==Trivia==
* While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be obtained in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. However there are several Pokémon that can be obtained in all but one of the Poké Ball variants:
** The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families can be obtained in every Poké Ball variant except the Cherish Ball.
** The following Pokémon can be obtained in every Poké Ball variant except the Sport Ball:
***{{p|Pichu}}/{{p|Pikachu}}/{{p|Raichu}}
***{{p|Machoke}}/{{p|Machamp}}
***{{p|Slowpoke}}/{{p|Slowbro}}/{{p|Slowking}}
***{{p|Haunter}}/{{p|Gengar}}
***{{p|Kangaskhan}}
***{{p|Electabuzz}}/{{p|Electivire}}
***{{p|Magmar}}/{{p|Magmortar}}
***{{p|Magikarp}}/{{p|Gyarados}}
***{{p|Dragonite}}
***{{p|Linoone}}
***{{p|Crobat}}
***{{p|Politoed}}
***{{p|Wobbuffet}}
***{{p|Heracross}}
***{{p|Octillery}}
***{{p|Houndoom}}
***{{p|Smeargle}}
***{{p|Whiscash}}
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball (which made its return in Generation III), the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the catch screen menu in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], rather than as two separate words, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. However, it will appear spelled correctly in the [[Bag]] if obtained illegitimately there.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its Bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} onwards is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The [[Generation IV]] Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Clone Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Clone Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls, the Safari Balls, and the Sport Ball exist in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are illegitimately obtained into the Bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which can be used and even has a catching animation programmed in. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the internal data of the Generation V games, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generations II and III introduced more types of Poké Balls than any other generation, with seven each. Generation VI introduced the fewest: zero.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].
* {{p|Surskit}} is {{2t|Water|Bug}}-type, the two types that improve the Net Ball's odds of capture. However, it does not get an increased bonus for being both types.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.
** A similar effect would later be used in subsequent generations for all Poké Ball captures (regardless of the variety of Poké Ball used), beginning with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is not until [[Generation IV]] that customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* Although the Hyper Ball was renamed the Ultra Ball in the English versions of the games, its design still incorporates a stylized H on the top half.
* In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], the Great Ball is twice as effective as the Poké Ball.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.
* The [[Pokémon Global Link|Global Link]] artwork for the Sport Ball incorrectly replaces the image of a Poké Ball (as seen in its bag sprite) with the letter "S".

Poké Ball

2015-09-26T15:23:23Z

Sui: /* In the games */

{{Featured|May 9, 2007}}
[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|right|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of all three [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]

Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{mov|Rebecca}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon) or cannot be thrown:

* In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] unless all wild Pokémon are defeated except one, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim unless there is only one Pokémon!" in Horde Encounters, and "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" in Double Battles. However, in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* In [[Generation V]], when encountering two wild Pokemon in [[dark grass]] (without the aid of an NPC partner), it is not possible to issue commands to a Pokémon during the same turn as throwing a Poké Ball (though it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move).
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle beginning in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball in which case the Pokémon will be in a Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or genderless Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is only available in Generations I, III, and IV. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Generation IV, none of these Poké Balls can be held due to not existing in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

}}

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], when a player "speaks" to a Pokémon, a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

==In the anime==
===In the core series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelutions]] inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Satsuki's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.

The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY078|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the latter was not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball, one was never shown in the episode. {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. In ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside its Poké Ball in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon. Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from status conditions nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third and fourth goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in.

[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, which appears in a swarm and uses {{m|Poison Sting}}; {{p|Blastoise}}, which uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}; {{p|Chansey}}, which uses {{m|Softboiled}}, generating eggs that contain various items; {{p|Charizard}}, which uses {{m|Flamethrower}}; {{p|Clefairy}}, which uses {{m|Metronome}} to copy one of the other attacks used; {{p|Goldeen}}, which uses {{m|Splash}}, which does nothing; {{p|Hitmonlee}}, which uses {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}; {{p|Koffing}}, which uses {{m|Smog}}; {{p|Meowth}}, which uses {{m|Pay Day}}; {{p|Mew}}, which flies off the screen and does nothing aside from giving bonus points during 1P mode; {{p|Onix}}, which uses {{m|Rock Slide}}; {{p|Snorlax}}, which uses {{m|Body Slam}}; or {{p|Starmie}}, which uses {{m|Swift}}.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes to include [[Generation II]] Pokémon. {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, and {{p|Snorlax}} return with the same attacks as the previous game, though Clefairy’s Metronome will result in either {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Self-Destruct}}, or {{m|Waterfall}}. Additionally, the Pokémon released can include {{p|Articuno}}, which uses {{m|Blizzard}}; {{p|Bellossom}}, which uses {{m|Sleep Powder}}; {{p|Celebi}}, which acts identically to Mew; {{p|Chikorita}}, which uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}; {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which uses {{m|Flamethrower}}; {{p|Electrode}}, which uses {{m|Explosion}}; {{p|Entei}}, which uses {{m|Fire Spin}}; {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which uses {{m|Sacred Fire}}; {{p|Lugia}}, which uses {{m|Aeroblast}}; {{p|Marill}}, which uses {{m|Double Slap}}; {{p|Moltres}}, which uses {{m|Sky Attack}}; {{p|Porygon2}}, which uses {{m|Tackle}}; {{p|Raikou}}, which uses {{m|Thunder}}; {{p|Scizor}}, which uses {{m|Metal Claw}}, executed similarly to {{p|Hitmonlee}} in the previous game; {{p|Suicune}}, which uses {{m|Icy Wind}}; {{p|Staryu}}, which uses {{m|Swift}}, identical to {{p|Starmie}} in the previous game; {{p|Togepi}}, which uses {{m|Metronome}}, which can result in either {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Night Shade}}, {{m|Powder Snow}}, or {{m|Sleep Powder}}; {{p|Unown}}, which uses {{m|Hidden Power}}, resulting in a swarm of them flying across the screen, identical to {{p|Beedrill}} in the previous game; {{p|Venusaur}}, which uses {{m|Earthquake}}; {{p|Weezing}}, which uses {{m|Poison Gas}}, similar to {{p|Koffing}} in the previous game; {{p|Wobbuffet}}, which uses {{m|Counter}} when it is attacked; or {{p|Zapdos}}, which uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing.

In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon are added. {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} return with the same moves as the previous games, while four returning Pokémon behave differently: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}} drop items as they fly away (trophies, stickers, or CDs), {{p|Suicune}} now uses {{m|Aurora Beam}} rather than {{m|Icy Wind}}, and {{p|Togepi}}’s {{m|Metronome}} results in {{m|Smokescreen}} rather than {{m|Night Shade}}. The newcomers are {{p|Bonsly}}, which uses {{m|Flail}} when picked up and thrown; {{p|Deoxys}}, which uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}; {{p|Gardevoir}}, which uses {{m|Reflect}}; {{p|Groudon}}, which uses {{m|Overheat}}; {{p|Gulpin}}, which swallows the first opponent that comes near; {{p|Jirachi}}, which behaves identically to Celebi and Mew; {{p|Kyogre}}, which uses {{m|Hydro Pump}}; {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}, both of whom use {{m|Steel Wing}}; {{p|Manaphy}}, which uses {{m|Heart Swap}}; {{p|Metagross}}, which uses {{m|Earthquake}}; {{p|Munchlax}}, which eats any items nearby; {{p|Piplup}}, which uses {{m|Surf}}; {{p|Torchic}}, which uses {{m|Ember}}; and {{p|Weavile}}, which uses {{m|False Swipe}}.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

The fourth installment adds [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]] Pokémon. The returning Pokémon are {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Suicune}}, and {{p|Togepi}}. The new Pokémon are {{p|Abomasnow}}, which uses both {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}; {{p|Arceus}}, which uses {{m|Gravity}}; {{p|Chespin}}, which uses {{m|Seed Bomb}}; {{p|Darkrai}}, which uses {{m|Dark Void}}; {{p|Dedenne}}, which uses {{m|Discharge}}; {{p|Eevee}}, which uses {{m|Take Down}}; {{p|Fennekin}}, which uses {{m|Incinerate}}; {{p|Fletchling}}, which uses {{m|Peck}}; {{p|Genesect}}, which uses {{m|Techno Blast}}; {{p|Giratina}}, which uses {{m|Dragon Breath}}; {{p|Gogoat}}, which uses {{m|Take Down}}; {{p|Inkay}}, which uses {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}; {{p|Keldeo}}, which uses {{m|Secret Sword}}; {{p|Kyurem}}, which uses {{m|Icy Wind}}; {{p|Meloetta}}, which uses {{m|Echoed Voice}}; {{p|Oshawott}}, which uses {{m|Surf}}, identical to {{p|Piplup}} in the previous game; {{p|Palkia}}, which uses {{m|Spacial Rend}}; {{p|Snivy}}, which uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}; {{p|Spewpa}}, which uses {{m|Stun Spore}} when attacked, similar to {{p|Wobbuffet}} in the previous game; {{p|Swirlix}}, which uses {{m|Cotton Spore}}; {{p|Victini}}, which uses its {{a|Victory Star}} ability to power up the player that released it; {{p|Xerneas}}, which uses {{m|Geomancy}}; and {{p|Zoroark}}, which uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}.

Additionally, the Master Ball becomes an item in this game. It behaves identically to a normal Poké Ball, but it almost always releases a powerful Pokémon, either Zoroark or one of the Legendary Pokémon. Unfortunately, there is also a chance that it can contain Goldeen.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] Trophy information===
====Poké Ball====

'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any umber of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''

====Master Ball====
[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard- to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam|Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles.

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the Team Plasma variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]].

These are artwork of the items as seen in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] and [[Pokémon Global Link]].

====Generation V====
The Apricorn Poké Balls, the Safari Ball, and the Sport Ball, while programmed into the game, cannot be used to catch Pokémon and can be seen only in the Pokémon summary screen or when sending out a Pokémon. Sprites seen below are at full size as they are seen as they are when player's Pokémon is sent out after a switch.

==Trivia==
* While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be obtained in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. However there are several Pokémon that can be obtained in all but one of the Poké Ball variants:
** The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families can be obtained in every Poké Ball variant except the Cherish Ball.
** The following Pokémon can be obtained in every Poké Ball variant except the Sport Ball:
***{{p|Pichu}}/{{p|Pikachu}}/{{p|Raichu}}
***{{p|Machoke}}/{{p|Machamp}}
***{{p|Slowpoke}}/{{p|Slowbro}}/{{p|Slowking}}
***{{p|Haunter}}/{{p|Gengar}}
***{{p|Kangaskhan}}
***{{p|Electabuzz}}/{{p|Electivire}}
***{{p|Magmar}}/{{p|Magmortar}}
***{{p|Magikarp}}/{{p|Gyarados}}
***{{p|Dragonite}}
***{{p|Linoone}}
***{{p|Crobat}}
***{{p|Politoed}}
***{{p|Wobbuffet}}
***{{p|Heracross}}
***{{p|Octillery}}
***{{p|Houndoom}}
***{{p|Smeargle}}
***{{p|Whiscash}}
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball (which made its return in Generation III), the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the catch screen menu in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], rather than as two separate words, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. However, it will appear spelled correctly in the [[Bag]] if obtained illegitimately there.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its Bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} onwards is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The [[Generation IV]] Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Clone Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Clone Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls, the Safari Balls, and the Sport Ball exist in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are illegitimately obtained into the Bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which can be used and even has a catching animation programmed in. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the internal data of the Generation V games, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generations II and III introduced more types of Poké Balls than any other generation, with seven each. Generation VI introduced the fewest: zero.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].
* {{p|Surskit}} is {{2t|Water|Bug}}-type, the two types that improve the Net Ball's odds of capture. However, it does not get an increased bonus for being both types.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.
** A similar effect would later be used in subsequent generations for all Poké Ball captures (regardless of the variety of Poké Ball used), beginning with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is not until [[Generation IV]] that customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* Although the Hyper Ball was renamed the Ultra Ball in the English versions of the games, its design still incorporates a stylized H on the top half.
* In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], the Great Ball is twice as effective as the Poké Ball.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.
* The [[Pokémon Global Link|Global Link]] artwork for the Sport Ball incorrectly replaces the image of a Poké Ball (as seen in its bag sprite) with the letter "S".

The '''Silph Scope''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|シルフスコープ|Shirufu Sukōpu}}''' ''{{tt|Sylph|Silph}} Scope'') is a [[key item]] appearing in [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It allows the {{player}} to identify {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s.

As the name suggests, the Silph Scope was made by [[Silph Co.]], which [[Team Rocket]] later invades. The Silph Scope was initially stolen by Team Rocket, and is obtained from the [[Rocket Hideout]] after the {{player}} defeats [[Giovanni]]. It enables the player to identify the formerly unidentifiable {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s appearing within the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], and is required to pass the stairway that is guarded by {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|the ghost}} of a {{p|Marowak}}.

In Generation I, the Silph Scope can be stored via [[PC]]. If it is done so, the Pokémon within the Pokémon Tower will appear as ghosts once again. The player must have the Silph Scope in their items list in order to identify the ghosts.

===In Pokémon Origins===
The Silph Scope made an appearance in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]''. It was possessed by a small group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s who were holding [[Mr. Fuji]] captive at the Pokémon Tower. Like in the games, the Silph Scope had the ability to unveil the true identity of both {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and {{OBP|ghost|literal|real ghosts}}. The Silph Scope was later stolen from the Grunts by {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who then gave it to {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, allowing him to identify the ghost he was fighting as {{p|Cubone}}'s dead mother, {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}}. Afterwards, Red returned the Silph Scope to the Rocket Grunts, who presumably took it with themselves as they left after being defeated by Red in a {{pkmn|battle}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Silph Scope Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Silph Scope in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Silph Scope has made several appearances in [[Pokémon Adventures]], under the ownership of {{adv|Green}}. Unlike a regular Silph Scope, Green has modified her Silph Scope to be able to reveal all invisible Pokémon. It made its debut in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', where Green used it and a data disc she had stolen from Team Rocket to locate and identify {{p|Mew}}. [[PS027|Later in the chapter]], she used it to examine the {{m|barrier}} over [[Saffron City]]. [[PS030|During]] her battle against [[Sabrina]] at [[Silph Co.]], she was seen using the Silph Scope to see through her {{p|Horsea}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}}.

During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, when {{adv|Deoxys|a mysterious Pokémon}} attacked Green aboard the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]], she used the Scope to unveil it, although she couldn't recognize it. {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} later recovered the Silph Scope, and although they didn't recognize the mysterious Pokémon at the time either, the recording on the Scope served as their first glimpse of it.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Silph Scope PM.png|thumb|200px|Silph Scope in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga]]
The Silph Scope first appears in ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]''. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}'s rival, {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}, is shown to have one and used it to identify {{p|Gengar}}'s movements during its battle with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}. However, Clefairy took the Silph Scope and used it to his advantage to defeat Gengar. Unlike its game counterpart, the Silph Scope is shaped as glasses and it was not shown to come from Silph Co.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
The Silph Scope was seen in ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]''. After {{Zensho|Satoshi}} had been scared away from the [[Pokémon Tower]] by a {{p|Gastly}}, he saw several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s exciting the Tower, using a Silph Scope to avoid being scared by the ghosts. Satoshi then secretly followed the Grunts to the [[Rocket Hideout]], where he snatched one of the Scopes that were in there. Using the Scope, he was able to get past of the ghosts in the Tower and all the way to the top floor, where he encountered [[Mr. Fuji]], who was being held captive by Team Rocket.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* A sign next to the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] advertises the Silph Scope, proclaiming ''Make the Invisible Plain to See!''
* In [[Generation I]], an exploit allows the {{player}} to get past the [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] without using the Silph Scope. By using a [[Poké Doll]] to flee the battle, the ghost will disappear as if it had been defeated. This allows the player to skip getting the Silph Scope and in fact skip the [[Rocket Hideout]] completely.
* Also in [[Generation I]], by viewing the status screen of a Pokémon, the ghost's sprite will change to that of the actual Pokémon. However, it still cannot be fought or caught.

An '''escape item''' is an [[item]] that can be used to distract a [[wild Pokémon]], allowing the player to [[escape]] instantly regardless of any factors that would otherwise prevent escape. The items all resemble Pokémon native to the region the items are available in: a {{p|Clefairy}}, a {{p|Skitty}}'s tail, and a {{p|Minccino}}'s tail.

==In the spin-off games==
===PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond===
[[File:PP2 Plush.png|thumb|right|100px|The Poké Doll in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]
The Poké Doll, simply known as "Plush" in-game, makes an appearance in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] as a gift item found inside crates. It can be given to Pokémon to make them happier, or can be used to distract certain Pokémon from running away. Instead of Clefairy, these Dolls represent {{p|Cleffa}}, but were also translated to English as Poké Doll (Japanese: '''ピィにんぎょう''' ''{{tt|Py|Cleffa}} Doll'').

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Doll PM.png|thumb|150px|The Poké Doll in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga.]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Poké Doll was used once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. In ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', {{adv|Red}} used one to escape from a group of {{p|Victreebel}} that were going to eat him in the {{safari|Kanto}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{TP|Red|Clefairy}} used a Poké Doll as a substitute for himself in ''[[PM022|Part-Time Job At The Swimming Pool!!]]''. Since then, it became Clefairy's signature item, since he mostly relied on it to decoy himself or flee from any battle.

==In the TCG==
The Poké Doll is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as a {{TCG|Trainer card}}. The English language release of the card uses the English equivalent of the Japanese name, '''Clefairy Doll'''. The following is a list of cards named Clefairy Doll.
{{cardlist/header|Related cards|Trainer|char=yes}}
{{cardlist/entry|cardname={{TCG ID|Base Set|Clefairy Doll|70}}|type=Trainer|enset=Base Set|enrarity=Rare|ennum=70/102|jpsetlink=Base Set|jpset=Expansion Pack|jprarity=Rare}}
{{cardlist/footer|Trainer}}

==Trivia==
* A new escape item has been introduced in every odd-numbered generation.
* In [[Generation III]], the Poké Doll, which resembles a {{p|Clefairy|Pokémon native to Kanto and Johto}}, is unavailable in [[Hoenn]], and is instead replaced by the Fluffy Tail, which resembles the tail of a {{p|Skitty}} which is native to [[Hoenn]]; the Fluffy Tail is likewise only available in Hoenn, and is again replaced by the Poké Doll in Generation IV.
** Similarly, both are replaced in the [[Unova]] region by the Poké Toy, which resembles the tail of {{p|Minccino|a Pokémon native to Unova}}. Furthermore, the Japanese name does not mention its name as opposed to the previous two escape items. However, as before, the previous two items are still available in [[Unova]], but not as easily obtainable (they are much more expensive and only obtainable in [[Black City]], which is exclusive to Pokémon Black).
* The {{key|IV|Lost Item}} that must be returned to the {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in exchange for the [[Magnet Train]] {{key|IV|Pass}} in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{Gen|IV}} is implied to be the same Poké Doll given to her to obtain the {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}}.
* Due to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ghost Marowak glitch|a glitch]] in the [[Generation I]] games, Poké Dolls can also be used to bypass the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] in [[Pokémon Tower]]; this glitch was fixed in [[Generation III]].

Experience-affecting item

2015-09-26T15:09:34Z

Sui: /* Intro */

[[File:RG exp all.png|right|thumb|100px|Original artwork of the Exp. all from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
'''Experience-affecting items''' are [[item]]s that affect the amount of [[experience]] that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} gains in {{pkmn|battle}}. There are two different experience-affecting items.

==Items==
{{Item
|name=Exp. Share
|jp=がくしゅうそうち
|jpt=Learning Equipment
|gen=I
|bag=Key items
|buy=no
|sell=1500
|sellnotes=Cannot be sold in Generations I and VI.
|effect=Shares [[experience]] gained from {{pkmn|battle}} with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that do not participate in battle. In [[Generation I]] (called <sc>Exp.All</sc>), it shares experience gained from battle equally between all [[party]] members. These party members do not gain {{EV|stat experience}} unless they participate in the battle. From [[Generation II]] to [[Generation V]], it is a hold item that shares experience gained from battle between Pokémon that participate in battle and the holder. If the holder also takes part in the battle it will receive 75% of the experience, while the rest will receive only 25%. The holding Pokémon also gains all {{EV}}s (stat experience in Generation II) that would be gained by defeating the opponent. In [[Generation II]], when the Pokémon holding this item receives experience, the amount of Exp. Points gained is shown twice. If a Pokémon with the same [[original Trainer]] as the {{player}} is sent into battle with Exp. Share held, that Pokémon will receive approximately 50% of the experience (due to rounding) twice, which will not equal 100%. In [[Generation V]] only, the experience formula was changed to incorporate the difference in [[level]]s between the defeated Pokémon and Pokémon gaining experience; this is factored in after splitting the experience. In [[Generation VI]], it is now a [[key item]], and experience and [[effort values]] are given to all of the Pokémon in the party individually. Pokémon that do not participate in battle will only gain 50% of the possible experience.

Poké Flute

2015-09-26T15:04:34Z

Sui:

[[File:Bag Poké Flute VI Sprite.png|frame|right]]
[[File:Bag Poké Flute Sprite.png|frame|right]]
[[File:RG flute.png|right|thumb|200px|Original artwork from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
A '''Poké Flute''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのふえ''' ''Pokémon Flute'') is a [[key item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. It looks like a yellow {{wp|recorder}} with a [[Poké Ball]] near the bottom.

In the [[Generation I]] Pokémon games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, this item is given to the player as thanks by [[Mr. Fuji]] after they rescue him from [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]]. In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the Poké Flute is obtained from Mr. Butler at the [[Parfum Palace]] to be delivered to its original owner. In {{g|Snap}}, [[Professor Oak]] will reward the {{player}} with a Poké Flute after obtaining a total score of 125,000 points or higher for all the photos in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

==Usage==
[[File:PokéFluteSnorlax.png|thumb|right|The Poké Flute in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
===In the field===
A Poké Flute's single purpose in the field is to wake up {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, specifically two {{p|Snorlax}} sleeping on {{rt|12|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}}. Doing this is the only way to progress southward in the game, since these Pokémon are blocking the routes, as well as the only way to battle a wild Snorlax. In {{game|Yellow}}, it can also wake up {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's Pikachu}}. If used outside of battle, it will play a "catchy tune".

In the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games as well as their remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this purpose is fulfilled by the radio function of the [[Pokégear]]. An [[EXPN Card]] is required for this, and the Poké Flute is on channel 20 in Kanto.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player has to get the Poké Flute from the [[Parfum Palace]] and deliver it to its owner, a {{tc|Black Belt}}, who will use it to wake up a Snorlax that is blocking {{rt|7|Kalos}}. Unlike in the Generation I games and their remakes, the Poké Flute isn't a keepable item, and will only be in the player's possession while it's being delivered.

===In battle===
A Poké Flute is a reusable item that cures all Pokémon in the {{pkmn|battle}} of {{status|Sleep}}, including the opponent's Pokémon.

This purpose is fulfilled by the {{DL|Flute|Blue Flute}} in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, their remakes {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and all [[Generation IV]] main series games.

===Other===
[[File:Snap Poké Flute.png|thumb|left|Poké Flute in Snap]]
In [[Pokémon Snap]], playing the Poké Flute will wake up sleeping Pokémon and may make them dance or pose for the player. There are three songs which the Poké Flute can play in this game, and Pokémon respond differently to each.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Flute XY018.png|200px|thumb|A Poké Flute in the anime]]
===In the main series===
A Poké Flute was used by the [[hippie]] in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. He performed concerts with it in exchange for food. Later, he used it to help restart the flow of a river by waking up a Snorlax that was blocking the river.

Another Poké Flute appeared in ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'', under the ownership of [[Lord Shabboneau]]. It is used in an annual festival involving a Snorlax living in the area, but, unfortunately, it had been taken away by the egocentric [[Princess Allie]] from the [[Parfum Palace]]. After a series of many-sided events, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to get the Flute back and return it to Lord Shabboneau so he could start the festival. {{TRT}}, believing the Flute could actually control Snorlax, tried to steal it in order to gather themselves an army of Sleeping Pokémon, but the Flute was soon recovered, allowing the festival to be successfully completed.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Flute PO.png|thumb|200px|The Poké Flute in Pokémon Origins]]
The Poké Flute was seen two times, although briefly, in [[Pokémon Origins]]. It first appeared close to the end of ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', where Mr. Fuji gave it to {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as a thanks for saving him and the Pokémon Tower from Team Rocket. Red later used the Flute in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'' to wake up a Snorlax, which he presumably {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:RG town map.png|right|thumb|200px|Original artwork from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
The '''Town Map''' (Japanese: '''タウンマップ''' ''Town Map'') is the first and most basic of the map devices used by {{player}}s of the Pokémon games, and is the navigational item for all [[Generation I]] games, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, all [[Generation V]] games, and {{pkmn|X and Y}}. In these games, it is a [[key item]], but they can also be found in [[Pokémon Center]]s in Generations III and IV, as well as in [[gate]]s in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In the [[Johto]] region, the player receives a map card for the [[Pokégear]] after being given a tour of [[Cherrygrove City]] by the Guide Gent which serves the same purpose in [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Hoenn]] region, the [[PokéNav]] and [[PokéNav Plus]] have a built in map that also has the same function as the Town Map for {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Kanto==
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}} and {{game|Yellow}}, and their Generation III remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Daisy Oak]] will give it to the {{player}} after he or she receives his or her [[starter Pokémon]] and delivers {{key|III|Oak's Parcel}} to the [[Professor Oak|Professor]]. If it is not obtained here, then it will be given by [[Celio]] at [[Knot Island]] in [[Generation III]].

At first, the map will only display the [[Kanto]] region. During Generation III, after the player has ventured into the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Celio]] will give them an upgraded map, featuring Knot, Boon, and Kin Islands. After defeating the [[Elite Four]] and getting the [[National Pokédex]], Celio will upgrade the map to its complete extent, revealing the final four Sevii Islands. The map display can be changed among the four sections (mainland Kanto; [[Knot Island|Knot]], [[Boon Island|Boon]], and [[Kin Island]]; [[Floe Island|Floe]] and [[Chrono Island]] and [[Navel Rock]]; and [[Fortune Island|Fortune]], [[Quest Island|Quest]], and [[Birth Island]]) at will after getting each new map.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, certain locations in Kanto and the Sevii Islands have a small flavor text, referred to in-game as a "guide". This would be expanded on for every Sinnoh location in Generation IV.

==Sinnoh==
A new, separate Town Map was introduced in [[Sinnoh]], and serves as a complimentary map application to the [[Pokétch]]. The Sinnoh Town Map offers flavor text descriptions of all visited locations in the game, and of all routes, visited or not. However, areas such as such as [[Fullmoon Island]] will not be shown unless the player goes there. It resembles a [[Nintendo DS]].

The Map is obtained in [[Jubilife City]], when visiting the [[Trainers' School]]. The player receives it from his or her [[rival]], {{ga|Barry}}, upon giving him the {{key|IV|Parcel}} from his mother.

Interestingly, {{v2|Platinum}}'s Town Map text data appears to have been taken directly from {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: this is evidenced by {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}'s description including a reference to the house where shards can be traded for TMs. However, in Platinum, the TM-trading woman has been replaced by a Move Tutor. The actual map was altered slightly, as [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]] are now one space farther apart.

==Unova==
The town map in {{2v2|Black|White}} is given to the player by their [[mom|mother]] after receiving the Pokédex from [[Professor Juniper]], while players of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} get it from [[Hugh]]'s sister after Bianca gives them Poké Balls.

==In the anime==
In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', similar to [[Max]] with his [[PokéNav]] and {{an|Brock}} with his [[Pokégear]], {{an|Cilan}} is shown to have a Town Map for his journeys with {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}}. It seems to have the ability to look up and locate various landmarks and natural occurrences as seen in ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'' when Cilan uses it to track the flow of the wind, and in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'' when he locates plants used for an antidote for {{status|poison}} at the bottom of a lake.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Cilan was seen examining the Town Map of Kanto and Johto while planning how he and Iris would continue traveling.

In ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'', {{an|Serena}} was revealed to own a town map.

Helix Fossil

2015-09-26T14:58:49Z

Sui: /* In the games */

[[File:Bag Dome Fossil Sprite.png|frame]]
[[File:Bag Helix Fossil Sprite.png|frame]]
The '''Dome Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|こうらのカセキ|Kōra no Kaseki}}''' ''Carapace Fossil'') and '''Helix Fossil''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|かいのカセキ|Kai no Kaseki}}''' ''Shellfish Fossil'') are [[Fossil]]s which can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

==In the games==
[[File:RG helix fossil.png|thumb|100px|right|Helix Fossil artwork from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
[[File:RG dome fossil.png|thumb|100px|right|Dome Fossil artwork from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
In the Generation I and III games, the Dome and Helix Fossils are [[key item]]s found in [[Mt. Moon]] after defeating a {{tc|Super Nerd}}. While both are present, {{player}}s are allowed to choose only one, as the other one will be taken by the Super Nerd. If brought to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively. The Pokémon extracted from the Super Nerd's Fossil is seen in the zoo just outside the {{safari|Kanto}}.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, they are no longer key items, being demoted to simply items. They can be found by mining in [[the Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. Helix Fossils are more common in Diamond while Dome Fossils are more common in Pearl. If brought to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. The Dome Fossil is exclusive to SoulSilver while the Helix Fossil is exclusive to HeartGold. If brought to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, a {{tc|Worker}} in the [[Ice Rock]] room of [[Twist Mountain]] hands out a random Fossil from previous generations, including the Dome and Helix Fossils, once per day. If brought to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

Rocks purchased in {{DL|Join Avenue|Antique Shop}}s of Black 2 and White 2's [[Join Avenue]] may contain Dome or Helix Fossils.

Both Dome and Helix Fossils can be found via Rock Smash in the [[Glittering Cave]], but they are {{DL|Version exclusive|Generation VI|exclusive to Pokémon Y}}.

In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, they can be found randomly through Rock Smash in different [[Mirage spot]]s. However the Dome Fossil is exclusive to Omega Ruby and the Helix Fossil is exclusive to Alpha Sapphire. They can be brought to the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]] to regenerate them into Kabuto and Omanyte, respectively.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|250px|A Dome Fossil in the anime]]
===In the main series===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dome Fossils were first seen in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock!]]''. They made up the structure of an island, and were revived into Kabuto in red moonlight, causing the whole island to collapse and sink.

A Dome Fossil made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' during a visual representation of [[Roark]]'s love of Fossils in an argument with [[Byron]].

In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a Dome Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to Ash and {{ashfr}}. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|230px|left|thumb|Dome and Helix Fossils in Pokémon Origins]]
===In Pokémon Origins===
Helix and Dome Fossils briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', where they were shown being hogged by a {{tc|Super Nerd}} at [[Mt. Moon]].
{{left clear}}

==In the TCG==
Both Fossils appear on the artwork for the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the Fossil of a {{p|Kabutops}}, Kabuto's evolution, rather than of a Kabuto. The two Fossils were later split off into their own individual cards.

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Gotta Meme 'em All: Spiraling Out of Control!}}
* Due to players repeatedly attempting to use the Helix Fossil in the first {{game|Red and Blue|s}} run of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]] (despite it having no effect), seeking divine guidance from the Helix Fossil has become a meme. When the Helix Fossil was restored into {{p|Omanyte}}, many fans called the Omanyte with "Lord Helix".
** In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] when the language is set to French, before battle [[Brawly]] says, "{{tt|J'ai découvert le secret de la vraie puissance en fixant un ''Nautile'' pendant des jours et des jours…|I discovered the secret of true power by staring at a Helix Fossil for days and days…}}", a reference to this meme.

[[File:Miracle Cycle Goldenrod interior HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Inside of the Goldenrod Miracle Cycle shop in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
(Japanese: '''ミラクルサイクル''' ''Miracle Cycle'') is a shop that sells [[bicycle]]s in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Initially beginning business in [[Cerulean City]], Miracle Cycle moved{{sup/2|GSC}}/expanded{{sup/4|HGSS}} to [[Johto]] after about three years, with a second shop in [[Goldenrod City]], where they became popular with the help of the {{player}}.

It has no apparent presence in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], or [[Kalos]] where [[Rydel's Cycles]], [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop]], and {{DL|Bicycle Shop|Generation VI|Cycle Shop}} dominate business, respectively.

The company name was not mentioned in non-Japanese versions of any games it has appeared in for unknown reasons. Instead, it is simply named '''Bike Shop'''.

==In the games==
===Cerulean branch===
The {{ci|Cerulean}} branch can be visited in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where a [[bicycle]] is on sale for {{PDollar}}1,000,000. As the player can only carry {{PDollar}}999,999 at one time, this makes it impossible to buy. However, several vouchers for the expensive bicycle have been given away; the player can obtain one from the Chairman of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] and trade it in for the bicycle instead.

In the [[Generation II]] games, this branch of Miracle Cycle is shut down. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, the shop is still open, though nothing is obtainable here.

====Slogans====
"Grass and caves handled easily!"{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}, "Trendsetter of the Bicycle Boom"{{sup/4|HGSS}}

===Goldenrod branch===
The {{ci|Goldenrod}} branch can be visited in the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the owner will give the player a [[bicycle]] for free temporarily so that he or she{{sup/2|C}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} can advertise the shop, stuck in an isolated corner of the city, to the people of Johto. After a certain amount of time, the owner will call the player via the [[Pokégear]], allowing him or her to keep the bicycle as thanks for bringing in so much customers.

In the Generation II games, it is mentioned that the owner moved from [[Cerulean City]], shutting down the old shop in the process, while in the remakes, he recommends that the player visit the still-open shop in Cerulean.

====Slogan====
"The World is a Cycle{{sup/2|GSC}}/Cycling{{sup/4|HGSS}} Path!"

Miracle Cycle also exists in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

It was first mentioned by the Tripokémon Bike race organizer as the sponsor of the race in ''[[PS012|Wake Up--You're Snorlax!]]''. This mention was not removed from Viz's English translation of the manga.

[[Whitney]] owns a Miracle Cycle bike which she used in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in a race against {{adv|Gold}}. The race was designed as a promotion for the bikes but Gold adapted his into a scooter.

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS manga===
Miracle Cycle had appeared in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters HGSS|Kosaku Anakubo}}.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
Miracle Cycle briefly appeared in Pokémon Zensho.

[[File:Red on bike.png|150px|thumb|Artwork of {{ga|Red}} on his Bicycle from [[Generation I]]]]
A '''Bicycle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じてんしゃ|jitensha}}''' ''Bicycle'') is a [[key item]] obtained in the games to facilitate [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|faster movement]]. [[Cycling Road]]s can only be navigated on while cycling. They are usually obtained from [[Bicycle Shop]]s.

==In the games==
===Types of Bicycles===
In most games there is only one type of Bicycle; however, in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], there are two types of Bicycle: the Acro Bike and the Mach Bike. The player can only have one at a time and must trade in their current Bicycle at [[Rydel's Cycles]] to obtain the other.

All Bicycles cannot be ridden inside of buildings or if the player is accompanied by a person. In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[walking Pokémon]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] while the player is cycling. Prior to Generation V, bikes cannot be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]]. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.

====Regular Bicycle====
[[File:Key Bicycle Sprite.png|thumb|Bicycle obtain sprite from the Generation V games]]
In all games but [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] there is only one type of Bicycle.

In Generations I and III, [[Miracle Cycle]] is selling Bicycles for {{Pdollar}}1,000,000, which is {{Pdollar}}1 more than it is possible for the player to obtain in these games. Instead, the player must use a {{key|III|Bike Voucher}} to buy one.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player can press the B Button to switch between the third and fourth gears. Fourth gear is faster than third gear and allows the player to ride up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}} and jump further from bike {{DL|bike obstacles|ramps}}. Third gear can jump bike ramps, but does not jump as far.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player can choose between a green or a yellow bicycle, the choice having no impact on the bike itself.

====Acro Bike====
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Acro Bike.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of the Acro Bike from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
An '''Acro Bike''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ダートじてんしゃ|Dāto Jitensha}}''' ''Dirt Bike'') travels at the same speed as regular Bicycles, but it also allows {{player}}s to perform tricks, such as wheelies and bunny hops, which let players reach special areas. It can also be used for traveling on white rails found on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]].

Bunny hopping up and down on an Acro Bike in [[tall grass]] can cause [[wild Pokémon]] to appear, but does not count as steps towards the {{DL|Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Game}} or [[Repel]].

Unlike the Mach Bike, if the player rides on [[Seaside Cycling Road]] their time won't be recorded due to the Bicycle being "easy to turn" in comparison.

=====Tricks=====
* Hold B Button (less than 2 seconds): standing wheelie
* Hold B Button (more than 2 seconds): bunny hop
* Hold B, then {{tt|+Control Pad|D-pad}}: moving wheelie or bunny hop
* Press B and +Control Pad direction (perpendicular to direction of travel) simultaneously: sideways hop
* Press B and +Control Pad direction (opposite to direction of travel) simultaneously: hops and reverses direction

|tcg=Acro Bike (Primal Clash 122)
}}

====Mach Bike====
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Mach Bike.png|thumb|Artwork of the Mach Bike from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
The '''Mach Bike''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|マッハじてんしゃ|Mahha Jitensha}}''' ''Mach Bike'') allows {{player}}s to move a lot faster than regular Bicycles and the Acro Bike. It can move fast enough to ride straight up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}}, or over [[Hole#Generation III|cracked tiles]] without falling through (which appear in [[Granite Cave]], the [[Sky Pillar]], and [[Mirage Tower]]{{sup/3|E}}) if the player has enough momentum. If the {{player}} collides with something, all momentum gained is lost and the speed resets.

On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], a player's time and number of collisions while riding this Bicycle from the northern entrance to the southern exit are timed and recorded. This is part of the data sent over to other {{player}}s via [[record mixing]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
{{incomplete|section}}
[[File:DP Bicycle.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} riding rented bikes]]
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|220px|thumb|left|{{an|Misty}} with her burned bicycle]]
Bicycles are rarely seen in the {{pkmn|anime}} as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are usually seen walking. The only time bicycles are used are when it is necessary to use them, such as on [[Cycling Road]]s, or for a faster way to get somewhere.

The first bicycle to appear was {{an|Misty}}'s bicycle in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It was "borrowed" by Ash in order to escape from a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The bike was then unintentionally destroyed when [[Ash's Pikachu]] released a {{m|Thunder Shock}} at the Spearow. Misty later re-obtains her bike from Nurse Joy in Viridian City in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''.

The act of Pikachu destroying a female companion's bike became a {{wp|running gag}} in the two following series of the {{pkmn|anime}}: {{an|May}}'s bicycle was destroyed in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'' and {{an|Dawn}}'s in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]''. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Serena}} did not own bikes at all.

Bicycles can be rented for use on Cycling Roads, as seen in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. Some characters do own bicycles, but are rarely seen using them. For example, {{an|Professor Oak}} used a bicycle in ''[[M02|The Power Of One]]'' to get to [[Delia Ketchum]]'s house.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike bears a resemblance to {{p|Zapdos}}.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Bicycle PO.png|220px|thumb|Red's bicycle in Pokémon Origins]]
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} commonly used a bicycle to move around in the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. He was seen obtaining it at the beginning of the episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', getting it in return for a {{key|I|Bike Voucher}} he had obtained from the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]].
{{right clear}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Bicycle Zensho.png|thumb|200px|A Bicycle in Pokémon Zensho]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'' of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], it was revealed that {{an|Misty}}'s Bicycle was custom built and worth {{PDollar}}10,000.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Professor Oak}} uses a bicycle to catch the escaped Pokémon in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur Come Home!]]''.
{{adv|Red}} participates in a cycling competition along [[Route]]s {{rtn|11|Kanto}} and {{rtn|12|Kanto}} in ''[[PS012|Wake Up — You're Snorlax]]''.

{{adv|Gold}} competes with [[Whitney]] in a bike race from [[Goldenrod City]] to the [[National Park]] in ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'' and ''[[PS106|How Do You Do, Sudowoodo?]]''. Gold, however, altered his Bicycle into a push scooter.

{{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} received Bicycles from [[Rad Rickshaw]] as a sign of gratitude after his rescue from [[Team Galactic]] in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. The trio would later use their new Bicycles to travel through the [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
A Bicycle was seen inside the [[Miracle Cycle]] shop in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Bicycle (Plasma Storm 117)}}
[[File:BicyclePlasmaStorm117.jpg|Bicycle|thumb|200px]]
The '''Bicycle''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the {{TCG|Cold Flare}} expansion, the Bicycle later debuted in the {{TCG|Plasma Storm}} expansion with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Toyste Beach]]. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mail from Bill|105}} from the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion, this {{TCG|Trainer card}} allows the player to draw cards until they have 4 cards in their hand.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|beta version]] of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, a skateboard was planned to complement the Bicycle.
* In [[Generation IV]], in [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop]] there are advertisements on the shelves for the Mach and Acro Bikes.
* The song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bicycle]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|じてんしゃ|Jitensha}}) from [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is a remix of the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Goldenrod City]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|コガネシティ|Kogane Shiti}}). Furthermore, the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bug-Catching Contest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|むしとりたいかい|Neshitori Taikai}}) from these games remixes parts of the song ''[[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|Cycling]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|サイクリング|Saikuringu}}) from [[Generation I]].
* In [[Generation V]], if the player runs or holds down the B Button, [[Non-player character|NPCs]] with bicycles will go faster.
* In [[Generation VI]], the light of the bicycle is turned on at [[night]], but not in [[cave]]s.
* In the Safari Zone located in Hoenn, certain areas require either the Mach Bike or Acro Bike.
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the bells on the different bikes have notably different sounds.

Sui:

[[File:RG card key.png|frame|right|50px|Original artwork from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
The '''Card Key''' (Japanese: '''カードキー''' ''Card Key'') is a [[key item]] that is used to open certain doors blocking a players path in buildings. It has been featured in the first four generations.

==Locations and uses of the Card Key==
===[[File:Bag Card Key III Sprite.png]] {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}===
The Card Key is found in [[Silph Co.]]'s head office building while under siege by [[Team Rocket]]. It is used to open doors on various levels of the building that the player was unable to pass before. It is found on the ground in a small corridor on the fifth floor. Finding key items in this manner is rare: most are given to the player as part of the storyline. The Card Key is only in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It does not exist in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but can be found in the coding of {{game|Emerald}}. However, it is not obtainable.

===[[File:Bag Card Key Sprite.png]] {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}===
The Card Key is obtained by the rescuing of the manager of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]]. The manager gives the Card Key to the player in order to open a door on the third level of the tower while under siege by [[Team Rocket]]. The Card Key is only in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It does not exist in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but can be found in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games. However, it is not obtainable.

Coin Case

2015-09-26T14:42:21Z

Sui: /* Intro */

[[File:RG coin case.png|frame|right|100px|Original artwork from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]]]]
A '''Coin Case''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|コインケース|Koin Kēsu}}''' ''Coin Case'') is a [[key item]] used in each of the [[Game Corner]]s scattered around the [[Pokémon world]]. A Coin Case appeared in every [[core series|main series]] Pokémon game until [[Generation V]] and has not appeared since.

==Use==
[[File:Coin Case.png|thumb|right|250px|A Coin Case with 150 coins in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
The purpose of the Coin Case is to hold [[Coin]]s, which are the currency of the [[Game Corner]]s. If a {{player}} does not have a Coin Case, then he or she is not allowed to participate in the gambling-type games like [[slot machine]]s, [[Voltorb Flip]] and [[roulette]], as Coins must be inserted into the game machines before play can begin.

The Coin Case can hold up to 9,999 coins in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, and up to 50,000 coins in [[Generation IV]]. If the limit is reached, no further winnings can be put in the Coin Case—they will simply be discarded—and no further coins can be purchased.

There are three ways to determine how many Coins are in a Coin Case. The first is to play a game at the Game Corner; by default, the total amount of Coins held will appear on the screen. Secondly, a player may inquire to buy Coins at the Game Corner counter: as with [[Pokémon Dollar|money]], the amount will be shown in the corner of the screen. Finally, the player may use the [[Bag]] menu to examine the Coin Case. This will show the contents of the Case.

As a [[key item]], the Coin Case cannot be sold.

[[File:Mareep farmer.png|thumb|The Mareep farmer]]
The '''Mareep farmer''' is a character of the day who appeared in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''.

While he was tending his {{p|Mareep}}, the Mareep farmer noticed his {{p|Houndoom}}, Doomy, with a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} on it. He finds out that the Togepi belongs to Misty and was grateful that she found it. However, {{TRT}} come by and steal the Mareep farmer's Doomy by firing a net at it. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} battled Team Rocket and freed Doomy. After Team Rocket's defeat, the Mareep farmer led the group back on their way and said their goodbyes.

After {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} battle {{TRT}} for the first time in the episode, Doomy notices that a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was separated from {{an|Misty|its Trainer}}. It cheers Togepi up by giving it an apple. When a {{p|Pinsir}} comes by and attacked Togepi, Doomy scared it off and took Togepi with it as Togepi was crying. Doomy had many adventures with Togepi. It finally returned to its owner, the Mareep farmer who noticed that Doomy brought along Togepi. As Ash and his friends arrived, Misty thanked Doomy for taking care of Togepi. As soon as both Misty and Togepi reunite, Team Rocket arrive and fire a net at Doomy. Doomy gets freed by {{AP|Chikorita}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} and finishes the trio off with Flamethrower, blasting them off.

After their defeat, Doomy goes with the Mareep farmer when he was leading the group back on their way. Togepi felt sad that it had to leave its new friend behind but Houndoom wants it to stay with Misty. Togepi feels sad about it and goes with the group as they say their goodbyes.

Doomy's only known move is {{m|Flamethrower}}.}}

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

{{incomplete}}
{{fan speculation}}
'''References to the Pokémon franchise''' are often made in other media. While {{p|Pikachu}} is a common target due to its prominence as the mascot of the franchise, other Pokémon, characters, and elements of the various Pokémon series are often lampooned.

When Pokémon was used as a style for the scene, Karen says in a purposefully bad Asian-style accent, "Harro, [''sic''] I am Ichi!" She stiffly walks up to Ryan and says to him, "Please don't go!" to which he responds, "Oh, you're making my tail catch on fire!" and pretends to spew a flame from a tail, most likely referring to {{p|Charmander}}. As Karen turns to Colin and walks up to him, Colin spreads his arms apart and shouts, "{{p|Jigglypuff}}!"

This was a different portraying of a Pokémon "style" in comparison to the playing in show #235. When Pokémon was used as the last style for this playing's scene, Colin shouts out, "Pikachu!" in a high-pitched voice this time instead of Ryan, causing the audience to burst out in laughter as he started walking around the stage. He then pretends to shock Ryan, who yells, "Ow!" in response and does his Charmander pose used in show #235. Colin turns around, shouts "Pikachu!" again, and walks to the other side of the small stage. He then turns back to Kathy and Ryan and sends more "{{m|ThunderShock|shocks}}" towards them, causing Kathy to hop a bit on every "shock" sent towards her. (It had no effect on "Charmander Ryan", who was looking away and continuing to do his pose.) Kathy maintained {{tt|her scene's character|Playing as the wife of 'Police Chief Colin'}} throughout the style, pretending to point a handgun at Colin.

He also awards 1,000 extra "{{tt|points|Since Whose Line is it Anyway? is a slight parody of game shows, the points are fake and irrelevant. Hence, 'the points don't matter'.}}" to Colin for his "Pikadoo" act (getting Colin to say, "Pikachu," once more to correct Drew, which also causes Ryan to say, "Bless you,") and says to him, "Oh, I'd love to see you and your wife going at it, man."

2013-03-29T23:06:01Z

Sui:

{{search|Professors specializing in Pokémon|the TCG tournament term|Professor Program (TCG)}}
A '''Pokémon Professor''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|博士|はかせ}}''' ''Pokémon Expert'') is considered an expert on Pokémon in his or her respective [[region]]. Pokémon Professors are often researchers as well, and many times they are the ones responsible for distributing [[Pokédex]]es and giving the {{player}} their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. The first Pokémon Professor introduced in the games and anime, [[Professor Oak]], was also the first [[Non-player character|NPC]] ever seen in the main series games. He also has made the most appearances in the main series games, appearing in all games but the Hoenn-based ones and the Unova-based ones.

Several known Pokémon Professors have had reports published in '''Pokémon Researchers Monthly''', such as "Pokémon adaptive variation as a function of regional distribution" by [[Professor Ivy]] and "Challenges facing anthro-Pokémon global co-habitation" by Professor Oak.

'''Fossil''' (Japanese: '''化石の秘密''' ''The Mystery of the Fossils'') is the name given to the third expansion of cards and {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in both America and Japan.

==Information==
*The English version of Fossil was originally planned to be released around January 2000 (based on original {{TCG|Jungle}} estimates). But because Jungle was pushed ahead, Fossil was pushed ahead as well.
*[[Wizards of the Coast]] once again increased the set size by producing holographic and non-holographic versions of the rare cards; however, they removed the {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mew|8}} card that was in the Japanese set. Mew would later reappear as {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}} #8 (non-holographic) and #9 (holographic).
*Fossil completed the transition of the first 150 Pokémon (151 in Japan with the inclusion of Mew) to card form.
* The Prerelease card for this set is Aerodactyl.

==Trivia==
*The set's booster pack designs feature {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Zapdos}}.
*Of all English-released sets, Fossil has the smallest amount of cards.

==Theme decks==
*{{TCG|LockDown}}
*{{TCG|BodyGuard}}

Pokémon Egg

2012-03-21T23:52:52Z

Sui: /* Generation IV */

[[File:SugimoriEggs.png|right|thumb|235px|Eggs of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Elekid}}]]
A '''Pokémon egg''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのタマゴ''' ''Pokémon {{tt|tamago|egg}}'') is an object from which all Pokémon are known to hatch. An egg's shell will usually have a pattern that reflects the appearance of the Pokémon developing inside, though in the games this is not the case (likely to save space on the game media).

Pokémon eggs are produced by {{pkmn|breeding}} two Pokémon of a compatible [[egg group]] and opposite gender together, and will contain by default the lowest species in the evolutionary line of the mother. According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]], where one of many [[Pokémon Day Care]]s are located, no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an egg, and so it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. No alternate explanation for their creation is offered, however, and most assume that the details are not gone into to keep the games appropriate for all audiences.

Some Pokémon, known as [[baby Pokémon]], are often only found by hatching them from an egg created by their evolved forms. Unlike other species {{egg|Undiscovered|which cannot breed}}, baby Pokémon evolve into species which can do so. A majority of [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed in captivity, and thus cannot produce eggs of themselves, however, a notable exception is made with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}, which both produce Phione eggs if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

==In the games==
Pokémon eggs have appeared in all games where Pokémon breeding has been available, as a major plot point in their introduction in [[Generation II]]. They have also appeared in several side games.

===Mechanics===
[[File:Egg Gen II.png|frame|right|An egg's status screen in [[Generation II]]]]
Despite [[time]] being an introduced concept in Generation II, the amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its egg is instead determined by the amount of steps taken by the player when it is in the party.

The internal coding for an egg in the games is very similar to that of a Pokémon-- being that they are stored in the same places that a Pokémon is, this is to be expected. A Pokémon egg will be created knowing what species it will hatch into, with this species determining the value for the amount of steps left until the Pokémon hatches. The value is then stored in the same space that the [[happiness]] value, also introduced in Generation II, is stored for normal Pokémon. Unlike normal Pokémon, whose happiness gains a point for every 256 steps the player takes, an egg's "happiness" value, the [[egg cycle]] number, decreases for every 256 steps.

The amount of egg cycles that an egg has left determines what is displayed on its status screen. When an egg has more than 10 egg cycles remaining, it will display, "Wonder what's inside? It needs more time, though." When the egg's cycles have dipped below that, but are still above 5, it will display, "It moves around inside sometimes. It must be close to hatching." When the egg has less than 5 cycles remaining, it will display, "It's making sounds inside! It's going to hatch soon!"

===Generation II===
[[File:Gold Silver Beta Egg.png|thumb|An egg hatching in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|beta version of Gold and Silver]]]]
[[File:Stadium 2 Egg.png|thumb|An egg in Pokémon Stadium 2]]
Generation II introduced the system of egg creation and hatching that would continue, much unaltered, to the present. The first Pokémon egg obtainable by the {{player}} in the series was a [[key item]] given by [[Mr. Pokémon]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} is to be delivered to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]]; he will then study it and have one of his aides return it to the player in the [[Violet City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

Elm's studies show that when a Pokémon egg is carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[party]] of lively Pokémon, it will eventually hatch. This is easily proven, as some time after the egg is given, if it is kept in the party, it will hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}.

Once the player reaches the Daycare on {{rt|34|Johto}} is where the game mechanics of breeding are truly introduced. Though unrevealed in the games (and only ever truly shown by {{g|Stadium 2}} and [[Pokédex 3D]]), Pokémon belong to one or two of fifteen [[egg group]]s, and those which share an egg group and are of opposite gender are capable of breeding. Pokémon without gender can be bred with a {{p|Ditto}}, as can any other Pokémon. Pokémon in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}} will not breed with any Pokémon, and will thus not produce any eggs.

Pokémon that hatch from an egg will come out at level 5, having whatever moves their species can learn by that level, any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves they are compatible with that were known by their father, and any [[egg move]]s their father passed down.

These are the only games in which an egg's status screen differs considerably from that of a normal Pokémon, as all later games use either a modified version of the Pokémon status screen of that game (as is the case in Generation III) or the same status screen minus some pages (as is the case in Generation IV and V).

====Eggs available====
Aside from eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following eggs can be obtained in Generation II:
*{{p|Togepi}}: From [[Mr. Pokémon]], initially classed as a [[key item]]. Received from [[Professor Elm]]'s aide in [[Violet City]].{{sup|GSC}}
*{{anchor|Odd Egg|Odd Egg}}{{sup|C}}: From the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]], will hatch into a {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, or {{p|Magby}} that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. It has a 14% chance of being {{Shiny}} in international versions. In the Japanese version, it is available by trading in the [[Egg Ticket]] from the Day-Care Man at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] and has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}.

===Generation III===
Generation III retained much of the system introduced in Generation II, with only one major change. If specific Pokémon are holding specific items, the baby Pokémon that hatch from their eggs will be different, new baby Pokémon introduced in this generation. These special [[incense]]s are specific to {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s evolutionary line, and when held by them, will cause the baby to be an {{p|Azurill}} or {{p|Wynaut}} instead. Presumably this is to keep breeding consistent: as the items did not exist in earlier generations, they could never be held, always resulting in the evolved form hatching.

All other mechanics present in Generation II are present in Generation III, including the system for hatching the eggs. Egg groups now have more members, but the groups themselves number the same as in Generation II, and no Pokémon have changed groups.
In {{game|Emerald}}, several more mechanics were added. A Pokémon's [[nature]] could be influenced through its mother holding an [[Everstone]] while in the Day-Care, while Pokémon with {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} would quicken the hatching process if in the party with eggs.

====Eggs available====
Aside from eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following eggs can be obtained in Generation III:
*{{p|Wynaut}}: From an old couple in [[Lavaridge Town]].{{sup|Ru}}{{sup|Sa}}{{sup|E}}
*{{p|Togepi}}: From an old man in the [[Water Labyrinth]].{{sup|FR}}{{sup|LG}}

===Generation IV===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Manaphy egg in Ranch}}
Generation IV expanded on the mechanics found in Emerald, making them standard to the series, as well as added more baby Pokémon only obtainable through [[incense]] breeding. A new mechanic is that both parents can now pass down its nature to its offspring if one of them holds an Everstone. In addition to this, Pokémon eggs were altered to hatching at level 1, for better consistency with the games' early routes. This would have been possible in Generation III as well, but was not in Generation II due to a glitch in the programming that caused level 1 "[[Experience#Experience to level|Medium Slow]]" Pokémon to jump to level 100 instantly when leveled up.
A change in mechanics from Generation III causes the eggs to hatch slightly earlier, with the egg cycle number going down after 255, rather than 256, steps. The Manaphy Egg obtainable from Ranger games came with its own [[party]] and status screen sprites.

Trainers can use the Pokétch {{DL|Pokétch|Day-Care Checker}} app to check whether or not an egg has yet been produced, unlike in previous generations' games, where Trainers attempting to breed two Pokémon would need to stay near the Day-Care Center to make sure that they got an egg as soon as it was ready.

Eggs may also be tranferred to [[My Pokémon Ranch]], but they will not hatch as long as they are kept in the game. When 999 Pokémon are present in the ranch it will expand and jump to level 25, the maximum level. Once this level is reached [[Hayley]] will offer to trade any Pokémon egg for her Mew.

===Generation V===
Building on the mechanics introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Generation V adds the possibility of female Pokémon with a Hidden Ability to pass on their exclusive ability to its offspring, unless the father is a Ditto. No new baby Pokémon were introduced this generation. The Manaphy egg is found [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation V)|in the coding of Black and White]], implying it may be used in a future event.

====Eggs available====
Aside from eggs made by the player's Pokémon, the following eggs can be obtained in Generation V:
*{{p|Larvesta}}: From a {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} inside a building on {{rt|18|Unova}}.

===Side games===
[[File:Hey You Pikachu Togepi Egg.png|thumb|right|A Togepi egg]]
====Hey You, Pikachu!====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], a Togepi egg can be found and hatched while completing the Pokémon Picnic missions.

====Pokémon Snap====
The first eggs to appear in the games were, in actuality, slightly before Generation II, with eggs of the [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]] appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. These eggs could be hatched by interaction with the player through various means:

*{{p|Articuno}}: This egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] area. It is silver and has a crystalline form. It hatches with the aid of two dancing {{p|Jynx}}.
*{{p|Zapdos}}: This egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] area. It is yellow with a jagged electric pattern on it. It hatches with the aid of a {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
*{{p|Moltres}}: This egg is in the [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] area. It is white with a red flame design on it. It hatches when a [[Pester Ball]] or apple knocks it into the lava.

====Pokémon Puzzle Challenge====
[[File:Puzzle Challenge Eggs.png|thumb|right|Eggs available in Puzzle Challenge]]
Four eggs are available as unlockables in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]; over time they will hatch and the Pokémon inside are only playable in Marathon mode.
*{{p|Magby}} is available after hatching the Fire Egg
*{{p|Elekid}} is available after hatching the Lightning Egg
*{{p|Igglybuff}} is available after hatching the Normal Circle Egg
*{{p|Cleffa}} is available after hatching the Normal Star Egg

====Pokémon Breeder mini====
{{incomplete|section|image}}

Three eggs containing {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, are available for the player to choose between in [[Pokémon Breeder mini]]. However, these eggs have a generic appearance, rather than their individual designs present in other media.

====Pokémon Channel====
{{incomplete|section|images of other Eggs}}
In [[Pokémon Channel]], Pokémon eggs appear on the ''Eggzamination: Hatch Up!'' channel, where the player can guess which Pokémon is within an egg and will win money if correct on hatching, which can take anytime between 10 minutes to 24 hours. While some Pokémon hatch from plain white eggs, a number of eggs that have appeared in the anime are a main feature on the channel. Pokémon with eggs seen include {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Zubat}}.

====Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire====
[[File:Pinball RS Egg.png|thumb|right|Pinball RS Eggs]]
Eggs can be hatched while playing in Egg Mode in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. While playing on the [[Ruby Field]] hit {{p|Cyndaquil}} into the egg stand three times to start heating the egg. Hitting it once more will make the egg hatch. Afterwards, sending the ball into the egg stand again will lead to {{p|Aerodactyl}} or {{p|Totodile}} replacing the egg. While playing on the [[Sapphire Field]], send the ball through the Egg Stand to turn on one of the lights. This only works by sending the ball up the lower Egg Loop and not through Spoink launching the ball. Once all four lights are lit, the egg will hatch the next time the ball is sent through the egg stand. Aftwerwards, sending the ball through the egg stand once more makes a new egg appear and the process starts over. After an egg has been hatched it must be caught by hitting it twice with the [[Poké Ball]] in less than a minute, otherwise it will go back into the Egg Stand.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon====
[[File:Wonder Egg.png|thumb|right|40px|The [[Wonder Egg]], a {{p|Manaphy}} egg]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the {{player}} can earn eggs as a reward for missions with a reward listed as ???. Only one egg can be kept at a time, and will be sent to [[Treasure Town#Chansey's Hut|Chansey]]. The egg will hatch after a random number of missions, at which point the hatched Pokémon will join the player's team and know [[egg move]]s. A [[Wonder Egg]] can be found at the end of the [[Surrounded Sea]], which will hatch into {{p|Manaphy}} the next morning.

====Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version====
In [[Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version]], a {{p|Victini}} egg acts as the equivalent of a king piece in chess. The egg can take three hits before it hatches, and Victini can take one before fainting. If this Victini faints, the controlling player loses. The egg can still be moved even while unhatched.

==In the anime==
[[File:Breeding house eggs.png|thumb|220px|A [[breeding house]] in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], full of different Pokémon eggs]]
The anime was where Pokémon eggs made their debut, with {{Ash}}'s find of an egg in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' predating Pokémon Snap by nearly a year. The egg was kept safe by {{an|Brock}}, but unlike later episodes, was not kept in its own case.

Later eggs have all been shown to be kept in a [[egg case|case]], which includes a [[Poké Ball]] for the baby to be put into on hatching. Aside from Togepi's egg, which hatched like an egg would in the real world, later eggs are shown to flash white before hatching, then to glow white and transform into the Pokémon they contain.

In the episode ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon are able to see the world outside of their eggs. More than that, Pokémon have been seen interacting from inside their eggs: Manaphy had used {{m|Heart Swap}} on Team Rocket before it even hatched (it was also implied that it was the one who gave May the dream involving [[Samiya|the Sea Temple]]).

===Pokémon hatched from eggs===
; [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]]
: This egg was white with blue and red triangular spots. It was found by {{Ash}} deep in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It was taken care of by {{an|Brock}} and, for a short period, by {{MTR}}. It hatched into a {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]''. Since {{an|Misty}} was the first person it saw, the baby Pokémon thought she was its mother, and thus became hers.
; [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]]
: This egg was light blue with no designs. It was given to {{Ash}} as a prize for winning a race in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a {{p|Phanpy}} in ''[[EP230|Hatching a Plan!]]''.
; [[Ash's Larvitar]]
: This egg was jade green with no designs. It was given to {{Ash}} in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''. It hatched into a {{p|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can!]]''.
; [[Misty's Azurill]]
: This egg was never seen. It was the offspring of [[Tracey's Marill]], and then {{Tracey}} gave it to {{an|Misty}} as mentioned in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team!]]'', when Azurill itself first appeared.
[[File:Eevee hatches.png|right|thumb|[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]] hatching from its egg]]
; [[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]
: This egg was brown with a cream-colored zigzag stripe around its middle. It was given to {{an|May}} by a day-care worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. She took care of it herself, and it hatched into an {{p|Eevee}} in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
; {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}}
: This egg was translucent blue with a red, yolk-like sphere and a ring of yellow dots inside of it. It was primary to the plot of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. During the movie, while everyone was trying to protect the egg, the center began to glow. When {{an|May}} caught it after being tossed into the air it began to hatch into a {{p|Manaphy}}.
; [[Brock's Chansey|Brock's Happiny]]
: This egg was light pink with a white stripe around the center and a red top. It was won by {{an|Brock}} in a [[Pokémon cosplay|Cosplay]] Convention in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''. He took care of it himself, and it hatched into a {{p|Happiny}} with the help of [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''.
; [[Dawn's Quilava|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]
: {{an|Dawn}}'s egg obtained in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' hatched into a baby Cyndaquil later in the episode. The egg was mostly green, with a cream colored bottom and three red spots near the bottom.
; [[Ash's Scraggy]]
: Ash's egg obtained in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' hatched into a baby {{p|Scraggy}} in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]''. The egg is similar to the ones seen in the games. However, it retains Scraggy's color scheme, being tan with brown spots.

===Other Pokémon eggs in the anime===
[[File:Pokemon eggs.png|200px|thumb|Some eggs in a cart]]
* ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'': An entire breeding house full of Eggs appeared in this episode. Several "dummy" eggs were used in the race. A large number of the egg varieties seen, both real and dummy, are unique to this episode. Some of the designs seen are similar to {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Drowzee}}, {{p|Starmie}}, and {{p|Heracross}}.
* ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'': This episode showed a home where baby {{p|Mudkip}} were bred, and even showed one hatching and spraying May in the face. These eggs were small and blue with orange spots.
* ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'': An entire breeding house full of eggs appeared in this episode. Primarily, it featured an Egg of a {{p|Vulpix}} which was about to hatch, which was two shades of red with a design of curls separating the top from the bottom, reflecting the design of Vulpix's tails. Many other eggs appeared in the breeding house. Based on the design, some of the other eggs were identified as {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, and {{p|Wooper}}. A few of the designs were more difficult to distinguish than others.
* ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'': {{p|Psyduck}} eggs were seen in this episode and were the reason why the Psyduck were blocking the road. These eggs were yellow with patterns that looked like Psyduck feet.

==In the manga==
[[File:GB16.png|thumb|A Pichu egg in the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
* In ''[[PS013|Sigh for Psyduck]]'' a photograph of [[Mr. Fuji]]'s deceased {{p|Doduo}} is shown hatching from an egg.
* {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]] produce an egg that later hatches into {{DL|Gold (Adventures)|Pichu|Gold's Pichu}}.
* {{adv|Gold}} receives an egg from [[Jasmine]]'s Togetic, which eventually hatched into a Togepi.

===Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys===
* {{GnB|Gold}} receives a Pokémon egg from the [[Day-Care Couple]] in ''[[GB10|A Huge Mysterious Tree!!]]'', and it hatches into Pichu in ''[[GB16|The New Pokémon Is Hatched!!]]''.
* Chris hatches a {{p|Togepi}} from an egg that {{GnB|Gold}} delivered to [[Professor Elm]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
* [[Isamu Akai]] hatches a Togepi egg in {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|6}}

==In the TCG==
* [[_____'s Chansey (Challenge from the Darkness)|_____'s Chansey]]: Depicts a {{p|Chansey}} hatching from an egg, as well as many other generic eggs in the background.
* [[Fossil Egg (Neo Discovery 72)|Fossil Egg]]: Used to hatch into any Pokémon that evolves from [[Mysterious Fossil (Fossil 62)|Mysterious Fossil]].

==Trivia==
* The eggs of {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}} are the only eggs whose designs depict those of the Pokémon's {{p|Electabuzz|evolved}} {{p|Magmar|form}}, rather than the Pokémon it directly hatches into.
* No Pokémon that was hatched from an egg in the anime has evolved twice, either because their evolutionary line prohibits it ({{AP|Phanpy}}, {{TP|May|Eevee}} and {{AP|Scraggy}}), their evolutionary line went no further than one evolution at the time of their release ({{TP|Misty|Togepi}}), the Pokémon's Trainer is no longer part of the main cast ({{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}), or simply because, as of this point, the Pokémon who ''can'' go on to evolve twice have not even undergone one evolutionary event yet ({{AP|Larvitar}}).
* Aside from {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}}, which is {{pkmn2|legendary}}, no anime Pokémon that has been seen hatching from an egg is a Pokémon that is unable to evolve.
* In the anime, with the exception of [[Ash's Scraggy]], each egg owned by a main character and shown onscreen has been stolen from the rightful owner prior to its hatching. The usual perpetrator is {{TRT}}, but there have been others.
** Misty's Togepi egg was stolen by Team Rocket, though it wasn't hers at the time.
** Ash's Phanpy egg was also stolen by Team Rocket.
** Ash's Larvitar egg was stolen by [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers|three poachers]] prior to Ash obtaining it.
** May's Eevee egg was first taken by accident by a disoriented {{p|Elekid}}. It was then found by Team Rocket and they planned to not return it to May. However, James willingly gives it to her in exchange for his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} which she had found.
** Manaphy's egg was taken by [[The Phantom]], then rescued by [[Jack Walker]]. Then Team Rocket takes it from him briefly before Phantom attempts to get it back.
**Brock's Happiny egg was stolen by Team Rocket. However, this was before it was given to him personally.
** Dawn's Cyndaquil egg was taken by Team Rocket and hatched when she got it back.
* Even though eggs are incapable of battling, they have [[base stats]] programmed into the game. Each stat is 10.
** Through [[Pomeg glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Emerald}} and [[Generation IV]], eggs can actually battle in-game.
* In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there was a minor bug when Pokémon hatched from an egg in another game was traded to either game. When so is done, the "egg" that appears after the location where the egg hatched in the summary will change to "met" when traded to Ruby or Sapphire. This bug was fixed in {{game|Emerald}}.
* Another issue with traded eggs appears in all generations since Generation III: When an egg is generated, it is given the OT, ID, secret ID, and game identifier of the game which created it. This can cause an egg which is traded to hatch {{Shiny}} and then be normally colored, or hatch normally colored, and then be Shiny. This is due to the change in OT, ID, and secret ID happening after the hatching cutscene.
** This issue is also present if a Pokémon is traded between the main and remake games of the third and fourth generations: the game identifier is ''never'' changed, meaning that an Azurill egg generated in Ruby, but then traded to FireRed and hatched will, though identifying itself as having FireRed's player as its OT, still be marked as having been generated in Ruby. When transferred via Pal Park to Generation IV, it will say that it is from Hoenn, rather than Kanto, as this is determined not by [[List of locations by index number (Generation III)|index number]] of the location hatched, but by game identifier. In Generation IV, this occurs between Sinnoh and Johto games when Pokémon are transferred forward to Generation V. It cannot occur between Kanto/Hoenn and Johto/Sinnoh games, however, as Pokémon eggs cannot be transferred via Pal Park.

'''Togepi Springs into Action!''' by [[Tracey West]] is the second book in the ''Pokémon Reader'' series, which is designed for beginning readers. It was published by [[Scholastic]] in February 2003 and is 32 pages in length.

==Synopsis==
This book follows the plot of the anime episode ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]].

The book starts with Ash and his friends taking a walk on a Spring day. Misty’s Togepi wiggles in her arms, and Misty asks what it is. A Pokémon runs past them, and Ash says that it is a Houndoom. The Houndoom runs off, and Brock notices and claims to the group that there is Team Rocket nearby. Jessie states that they are there to catch Pikachu, and James throws out a Poké Ball, revealing Weezing. Weezing uses SmokeScreen, and subsequently Misty is not able to see and falls down. Togepi tumbles out of her arms, rolls through the smoke and lands in front of Weezing. Togepi uses Metronome and vanishes. Pikachu slams into Weezing, and Chikorita uses Razor Leaf to break Team Rocket’s balloon. Team Rocket cries out that they are blasting off again. Togepi appears, the Metronome attack placing Togepi high up in a tree. Togepi starts to cry, and Houndoom hears Togepi. Houndoom climbs up the tree and carries Togepi to the ground. Houndoom continues on its way, but hears a noise and turns around to see a Pinsir attacking Togepi. Houndoom runs toward the Pinsir and tackles it, making Togepi safe again. Togepi starts to cry again, and Houndoom picks up Togepi with its tail. Houndoom then continues to run off through the trees.

Meanwhile, Misty is unable to find Togepi. Ash states that Noctowl can help them look, and sends Noctowl out.

Houndoom and Togepi come to a river. Houndoom attempts to cross the river by jumping from rock to rock, but a Gyarados suddenly jumps out of the river, causing Houndoom to fall into the water. Houndoom swims to shore with Togepi hanging on. Togepi and Houndoom climb up to a green field, with Ledyba flying above the flowers. Three Bellossom dance in the grass, and Togepi momentarily joins them before Houndoom resumes the journey, bringing Togepi with it on its back as Togepi waves good-bye to them.

With the group, Noctowl finds something. Ash states that they are footprints, and Misty cries that they belong to Togepi. Ash, Misty and Brock follow the footprints to the river, jump across the rocks and climb up to the green field, to find that Togepi is not there.

Houndoom and Togepi run further. It begins to rain, and they take shelter in a dry spot under a tree.

Pikachu finds more footprints, and the group follows the footprints to the tree, only to find that Togepi is not there, for Togepi and Houndoom have already left.

Houndoom and Togepi arrive at a Mareep ranch. The rancher acknowledges his Houndoom’s appearance, stating that he sees that Houndoom has brought the supplies he needed and a new friend too. The group manages to catch up to Togepi, and Misty cries out to Togepi, holds Togepi in her arms and states that she is happy that Togepi is safe. Suddenly a net drops from the sky and catches Houndoom. The net is revealed to belong to Team Rocket, and Ash commands for Chikorita to use Razor Leaf. The leaves cut through the net, freeing Houndoom. The rancher commands Houndoom to use Flamethrower, and Houndoom blasts the balloon with the attack. Team Rocket wails that they are blasting off for the second time. Togepi hugs Houndoom, sad to leave its new friend but feeling good to be back with its old friends as well. Pikachu agrees, thinking so too.

'''Pikachu in Love''' by [[Tracey West]] is the first book in the ''Pokémon Reader'' series, which is designed for beginning readers. It was published by Scholastic in January 2003.

==Synopsis==

This book follows the plot of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]].

The book starts with Ash and his friends meeting a strange person. The strange person says they are Old Man Shuckle and that they make special medicine for Pokémon. Brock asks Old Man Shuckle how he does this. Old Man Shuckle replies that it is a secret, and that he uses a Pokémon called Shuckle. Brock begs that Old Man Shuckle tell him, and Old Man Shuckle explains each step. First, he put secret ingredients inside the Shuckle shell. Then he let the Shuckle loose in the wild. A year later, he found the Shuckle again, and took the juice out of the shell. Old Man Shuckle adds that there is even a special kind of juice that can make any Pokémon easy to catch and train. He says that to make it, one must use a rare blue Shuckle. Brock exclaims that if he had that juice, he could become the world’s best Pokémon Trainer. Old Man Shuckle replies that he can he can give Brock some of the juice, but he and his friends must help him. Old Man Shuckle calls out his Bellsprout. Old Man Shuckle explains that his Bellsprout’s name is Spoopie, and that it can sniff out wild Shuckle. Old Man Shuckle states that he needs them to follow Spoopie and collect the blue Shuckle for him. Brock replies that he shall help, and Ash and Misty agree, following Spoopie into the woods.

Spoopie sniffed the air and ran, Misty commenting that Spoopie is very speedy. Spoopie finds lots of Shuckle and throws them into the air for the others to catch. Then Spoopie ran off again, even with Brock calling out for it to slow down. Spoopie finds the rare blue Shuckle, however Team Rocket suddenly drops down from the trees. Jessie cries that the blue Shuckle is theirs now, and James sends out Weezing, commanding it to use Smoke Screen. With smoke filling the air, Team Rocket escapes. Jessie exclaims that she is thirsty, and drinks the juice from the blue Shuckle, James drinking some of the juice after her. Meowth’s eyes become hearts and he subsequently gives James a big hug and a kiss. Nearby, the wild Shuckle begin to move. Ash asks where the Shuckle are going, and Old Man Shuckle explains that someone drank the blue Shuckle juice, and that one should never drink it right from the shell, as it makes Pokémon fall in love with the drinker.

The Shuckle, all being in love with Jessie, attempt to lick her face. Screaming her disgust, Jessie runs away. Team Rocket ran into Ash and his friends, and Misty demands they give back the blue Shuckle immediately. Jessie says that she will fight them first, calling on Wobbuffet and Arbok. Under the effects of the blue Shuckle juice, Wobbuffet and Arbok did not want to attack and instead wanted to hug Jessie. Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Pikachu does not attack, as he is in love with Jessie. Old Man Shuckle, yelling that it has gone too far, runs up and sprinkles a powder on all of the Pokémon. Old Man Shuckle explains that the powder has cured all the Pokémon, and thus the Pokémon were not in love with Jessie and James anymore.

Spoopie uses Vine Whip to take the blue Shuckle from Jessie’s arms. Jessie brags that they still have Pikachu, but Pikachu is not in love with Jessie anymore and shocks Team Rocket, causing them to blast off. Old Man Shuckle thanks Brock for finding the blue Shuckle, and present the special juice he promised, explaining that he can use it to catch and train any Pokémon. Brock politely declines, explaining that he wants his Pokémon to love him for what he is, not because of any juice. Ash states that he thinks they already do, and Pikachu agrees.

'''Get Well, Pikachu!''' by [[Tracey West]] is the sixth book in the ''Pokémon Reader'' series, which is designed for beginning readers. It was published by [[Scholastic]] in October 2003 and is 32 pages in length.

==Synopsis==
This book follows the plot of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]

The book starts with Ash noticing that something is wrong with Pikachu on the boat. As the ship lands, Ash runs to a video phone and calls Professor Birch. Professor Birch’s assistant answers him, telling Ash that his Pikachu looked terrible and that Professor Birch will be there right there. Soon Professor Birch comes in his car. Professor Birch tells Ash that they need to get Pikachu to his lab right away. At the lab, Professor Birch straps Pikachu to a machine, saying that it will get rid of Pikachu’s trapped electricity. However, this is unsuccessful and the machine explodes, blasting a hole in the wall. Pikachu, sick and confused, runs out of the lab. Ash runs after Pikachu. Professor Birch catches up with Ash and warns him that Pikachu has so much electricity that Pikachu could explode. Ash and Professor Birch then split up to look for Pikachu.

Professor Birch trips down a hill, landing on top of a Poochyena. Professor Birch attempts to apologize, but the Poochyena growls and snarls, and more Poochyena come. Professor Birch climbs up a tree in an attempt to evade the Poochyena, asking them not to be angry. Professor Birch sees a girl, May, on top of the hill. Professor Birch calls out and asks for help. With his bag dropped on the grass, he instructs May to take a Poké Ball and throw it. May throws a Poké Ball, and a Mudkip appears. May commands Mudkip to use Water Gun, however Mudkip instead looses the attack at May’s face. Professor Birch falls from the tree and commands Mudkip to use Water Gun at the Poochyena. Mudkip does so, and the Poochyena all run away.

Ash finds Pikachu and asks that Pikachu not move. Pikachu is so sick, it does not remember who Ash is and shocks him. Professor Birch and May run up to Ash and Pikachu. Professor Birch warns Ash to get away from Pikachu because Pikachu could explode, and Pikachu wriggles out of Ash’s arms. Pikachu runs away, and falls off a cliff. Ash dives after Pikachu, grabbing it in one hand and a tree branch in another. Professor Birch and May throw down a rope, and Ash tries to climb it. Pikachu, incapable of controlling his electricity, continually zaps Ash. Ash manages to carry Pikachu to the top of the cliff, and Professor Birch says that they should get Pikachu back to the lab.

With the utterance of the lines “prepare for trouble!”, Ash exclaims his recognition of Team Rocket’s approach in a giant red robot. Meowth exclaims that the robot will beat Pikachu at its own game, and the hand comes down and grabs Pikachu. Pikachu attempts to shock the robot, however Meowth states that Pikachu cannot hurt the robot, for it will absorb all of Pikachu’s electricity. Pikachu does not give up, and generates a profuse amount of electricity. The robot cannot absorb it all and explodes, Team Rocket exclaiming that they are blasting off again.

Ash, Professor Birch, and May rush Pikachu back to the lab. Professor Birch assures that Pikachu will be fine after a good night’s sleep. Ash stays with Pikachu all night, and in the morning Pikachu sits up and smiles. Ash exclaims his delight at Pikachu being all better. Outside, Ash and Pikachu see May and the little Pokémon with her. May states that it is Torchic, her first Pokémon ever, and Pikachu and Torchic run and play. Ash smiles, and says he is happy that Pikachu is all better and that he is also happy that they have made some new friends. Pikachu agrees.

'''Snack Attack!''' by [[Tracey West]] is the seventh book in the ''Pokémon Reader'' series, which is designed for beginning readers. It was published by Scholastic in January 2004 and is 32 pages in length.

==Synopsis==
This book follows the plot of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]].

The book starts with the statement that Ash and Pikachu have two new friends, May and Max. The group walks through the woods for some time when May asks if they can stop, for she is hungry. Max strongly disagrees, stating that he wants to find some Pokémon first. Ash says that they can stop for a quick lunch, and then look for Pokémon. May and Max are happy about this, but come to the problem of all their food being gone. Ash says that he wishes his old friend Brock was there, for he knows a lot about Pokémon and cooking too.

Not far away, Team Rocket observes the group with binoculars. Meowth says for them to look, for something is happening.

Max finds a cookie in his pack, but a Pokémon swoops down before he could take a bite, steals the cookie and flies to a tree. Max yells that a Taillow stole his cookie, and Ash looks up Taillow in the Pokédex. The entry is played and May yells for Taillow to give them back the cookie. Ash tells May to wait, noting that the tree is full of fruit and instructing Pikachu to help them knock down some of it. Pikachu shocks the trees, and a flock of Taillow comes out. Max cries out that he thinks they are going to attack, and Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on them. Pikachu zaps the Taillow, who fall on the ground only to get back up again. The leader of the Taillow attacks Pikachu, and Pikachu is unable to beat the Taillow. Ash remarks that Taillow are very fierce fighters.

The Taillow flock joins the attack, and Ash does not know what to do. Suddenly, a Forretress joins the fight, and a voice commands the Forretress to use Explosion. Smoke fills the woods, and the Taillow flock flies away. The smoke clears, and Ash sees that Brock is standing there. Ash thanks Brock, commenting that his Forretress saved the day. May asks Brock if he really is a good cook, because they could use some lunch. Brock says “Sure,” and looks in his pack. He cries out that his sandwiches are gone, and May states that she bets the Taillow ate them, and that the Taillow ate their food too. Brock affirms that it is no problem, and that he will stir up some stew.

Meowth states that they get the Taillow to do the dirty work for them. Team Rocket, having Brock’s sandwiches, feed the sandwiches to the hungry Taillow. Meowth addresses the Taillow, saying that they can have some more but that they have to first bring them Pikachu.

The leader of the Taillow challenges Pikachu to a fight, and the two face off. Pikachu shocks Taillow, and Taillow flies down, picks up Pikachu, and drops Pikachu in a river. Brock tells Ash that he must end this battle, for Taillow will not back down. Ash throws out a Poké Ball, which closed and successfully captures the Taillow. Ash cries out that he caught a Taillow, but the rest of the flock wants to fight Pikachu as well. Ash’s Taillow attempts to talk them out of it, and Meowth calls that Taillow give up. Jessie concurs, stating that the Taillow are their very own fierce fighting force, and James adding that they will do anything for sandwiches. May yells that she wanted the sandwiches, and throws out a Poké Ball, with Torchic coming out of it. May forgets to give Torchic a command, and Torchic runs into a rock. Jessie laughs, and commands the Taillow to attack.

The Taillow swoop down, but a bell rings and Brock says that his stew is ready and that the Taillow come and get it. The Taillow stop their attack, and eat the stew instead. Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off with a Thunder Shock. The Taillow flock eats their fill and flies away, Ash’s Taillow saying good-bye to its friends. Ash says that catching a Taillow was fun, and that they go looking for more Pokémon. Brock says for Ash to hold on, stating that they have to do the dishes first. Ash smiles, and says to Brock that it is good to have him back. Brock says that friends should always stick together, and Pikachu concurs.

'''Catch That Wobbuffet!''' by [[Tracey West]] is the fifth book in the ''[[Pokémon Reader]]'' series, which is designed for beginning readers. It was published by [[Scholastic]] in March 2003 and is 32 pages in length.

==Synopsis==
This book follows the plot of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP191|The Wayward Wobbuffet]].

The book starts with the statement that the group is walking in the woods. Pikachu sees something on the path, and two strange people stop them. One of the strange people, in reference to an object they were looking at the ground, explains that it is their new Poké Pod, and that they want to try it out. They ask if they could use Ash’s Pikachu. The strange people take Pikachu, and put it into the Poké Pod. Then the strange people take off their glasses and coats, revealing themselves as Team Rocket to the group. Ash cries out in recognition, and Jessie says that they tricked him, James adding that they now have his Pikachu. Team Rocket runs off with Pikachu and Jessie gives Pikachu to Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet then runs away, before falling into a river and letting go of Pikachu. Ash catches Pikachu, and tells Team Rocket to open the Poké Pod. Jessie says that the Poké Pod will not open without a key, and Ash asks for Jessie to give the key to him. Jessie says that she cannot, as Wobbuffet has the key.

Ash cries out to catch that Wobbuffet, and Wobbuffet floats down the river. Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket chase after Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet bumps into a Quagsire, and Quagsire shows Wobbuffet how to get to land. Wobbuffet gets out of the water, climbs a tree, holds onto a vine and swings from tree to tree. The group and Team Rocket continue to chase Wobbuffet through the woods, and runs down a hill. Ash asks where Wobbuffet is, and Jessie cries that Wobbuffet is up there. A tree branch is sticking out of the hill, and Wobbuffet hangs on from it. A truck speeds down the road, and Wobbuffet falls and lands on the truck. Officer Jenny drives up, and says for them to step aside, as they have to catch that truck. Officer Jenny says a thief named Ganef is in the truck, and Ash says that they have to catch the truck too, telling her about Wobbuffet. Officer Jenny tells them to get in fast, and Ash and his companions get into the police car. The police catches up to Ganef, and Ganef cries out that he will get away in his balloon. However, Wobbuffet gets into the balloon first, and everyone watches Wobbuffet fly away.

Team Rocket gets into their balloon, and chases after Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet jumps into Team Rocket’s balloon, but by mistake breaks it. Wobbuffet falls to the ground, and Ash calls on his Chikorita, commanding Chikorita use Vine Whip to catch Wobbuffet. Chikorita grabs Wobbuffet with its vines, and Wobbuffet lands in a speedboat. The boat zooms down the river, and Ash runs one side of the river. Team Rocket runs down the other side, and both Ash and Jessie jump into the speeding boat. Ash and Jessie are not able to stop the boat, and Wobbuffet flies out of it. Jessie yells for Wobbuffet to come back.

The boat is about to crash into a bridge, and Ash yells out that he chooses Totodile, bringing it out and commanding it to use Water Gun to slow down the boat. Ash and Jessie land safely, and Officer Jenny runs up to Ash, informing him that Ganef the thief got away again, that he is in the old building and that Wobbuffet is with him. Inside the building, Ganef calls out his Golem. Team Rocket digs a tunnel and gets into the building, and James cries for Ganef to hand over Wobbuffet. Ganef yells for Golem to get them, and Ash and Totodile run through the tunnel, seeing Golem attacking Team Rocket. Totodile hits Golem with Water Gun, and Golem fights back. Golem tries to tackle Totodile, but Wobbuffet uses Counter, causing Golem and Ganef to crash through the wall. Officer Jenny says that they have him now, and Team Rocket takes off with Wobbuffet in a new balloon. Ash cries out that Wobbuffet still has the key, and calls on Noctowl. Ash instructs Noctowl to peck a hole in the balloon, and Noctowl does so, causing air to shoot out of the balloon. The key falls from Wobbuffet’s neck and lands into Ash’s hand, and Ash gets Pikachu out of the Poké Pod. Pikachu then hits Team Rocket with Thunderbolt, causing them to blast off. Officer Jenny thanks Ash for helping them catch the thief, and Ash replies that they are just happy that Pikachu is out of the Poké Pod. Brock and Misty hug Pikachu, and Pikachu agrees with Ash’s statement.
