== Brawly's Hariyama's gender ==

This has been bugging me for a while. Was Hariyama's gender confirmed to be male officially in Pokémon Adventures? I saw it placed on its own article and on Brawly's page before it disappeared/got removed. Not saying that you did it or anything, I was just asking you as you may know about this. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

== BW090 ENG dub and Jessie's Wobbuffet's gender ==
They didn't feature the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in the English dub for an unknown reason. I know Garchomp was chose to this one, just like in Japan, but I can't edit it until they show it again in future airings. It's [[Garchomp]] for sure! Even if they show it again, I swear it'll be a Garchomp. And Jessie's Wobbuffet is a male, I discovered its gender, it doesn't wearing a lipstick on its mouth. Pikachu65 14:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
:That doesn't confirm anything. Wobbuffet existed before Gender differences. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 14:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Right. It does make sense. Pikachu65 15:43, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

== Walker ==

Is it absolutely confirmed Walker is Falkner's father in Spe? And where, if yes? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 17:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia on {{m|Giga Drain}} ==
Why isn't the fact that [[Paul]] is the only one who has commanded the use of Giga Drain notable in Paul's page or the Giga Drain page? [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 13:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:Because it isn't notable at all. Pointing out that only one person's Pokemon has used a move is unnecessary. He's not even the only one to do that. Nurse Joy's the only Trainer with a Pokemon to use Minimize, but it's not on the trivia. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 13:30, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
::I don't see the point in not putting it. I agree, it's not vitally important, but it is a fact and deserves to be known by others. Until you give me a good enough reason why it should not be included, I will not drop the subject. That includes Nurse Joy's using {{m|Minimize}}. [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 14:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:::It's redundant. There is no point stating in the trivia section information which becomes obvious when looking at the list of Pokémon that have used the move in the anime. If we allowed this kind of trivia, the trivia sections would be twice as long as the rest of the article and no-one would read them because of that. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:37, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
::::I guess that makes sense..... I had never seen that list before anyway. And Ataro, you could have just told me that instead. [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 19:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== Minor request ==

Hey Ataro, I saw from your tags that you're a Pokémon Colosseum/Pokémon XD/Generation III/Generation IV/Generation V player. I would like to request something relevant to the [[Poké Transfer]] page... currently, the location data for Pokémon from Orre is empty... I'm pretty sure it's "a faraway place" as seen in Pal Park, but could you confirm that this is also the case for Poké Transfer? Thanks in advance!! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:17, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
:Correction: "distant land". I'm thinking of something else. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
::Sorry... one final thing. I'm also curious about how {{m|Nature Power}} and {{m|Camouflage}} would work in Pokémon XD and Colosseum... and I might have more questions later but seriously, thanks so much!! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:28, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

== Volume 15 cover ==

Okay I really don't want to get into any arguments, and especially no edit wars. Why did you delete the picture I uploaded onto the Volume 15 page? That's the recently released Volume 15 cover from Viz and this site uses Viz's cover for the page pictures over all others. [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 02:29, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
:Because I already uploaded that pic two days ago. It may not look like here on the Pedia, but that's because it takes a while for it to change here. Check on the Archives to see it. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:33, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

== Al and Harry controversy ==

Okay let's not get into any edit wars here and try to solve this out (I was confused too when I saw what I did). The ponytail guy serves under Koga because he uses poison-types in Yellow and GSC chapter and he captured Articuno for Koga to use. The non-ponytail guy uses psychic types in Yellow and GSC and he controlled Moltres which was Sabrina's bird. The thing that confused me and it looks like it's confusing you too is how ponytail seems to be controlling Girafarig in GSC. But look again at the Yellow chapter where the Elite trio appeared and look at the flow chart where it depicts those three serving under the gym leaders. Ponytail dude is shown with Koga and the other dude is shown with Sabrina. I checked with the guys on Serebii forum and we came to the conclusion that the writers made a big mistake by switching Al and Harry between Yellow and GSC and they sorta cleared it up on the official site by not really giving Girafarig a definite owner. Oh and let me point out that your edit on the TRET page makes a contradiction. It lists ponytail guy as having the Pokemon that the non-ponytail guy had in the Moltres chapter. Look closely. Do you see what I'm saying? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 06:00, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
: Here's the link to the forum topic that I posted a couple months ago. See if it helps you understand what I'm saying. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?590625-Volume10-Owner-of-Girafarig [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 06:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
:: Look, I don't know what Kusaka is doing, but what I do know is that [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/Coronis/GioPryce_zpsc930b9de.jpg this page] quite explicitly states that dark hair = Ken, spiky hair = Al, and ponytail = Harry. [http://jb2448.info/var/albums/Japanese/Pocket_Monsters_SPECIAL_Volume_10/Pokemon_Special_v10_184.jpg?m=1298183717 Same for their original name revealing.] Something needs fixing. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 07:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
::: Yes I know that ponytail is Harry and spiky hair is Al. But what I'm saying is that it looks like Kusaka might have switched Al and Harry in the GSC chapter because Al is using poison-types and Harry is using psychic-types. And you're listing Harry's Pokemon in the RBG chapter under Al's profile and vice-versa. [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 18:04, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon Adventures volume 43 ==

Have you got access to it yet? Basically wondering about those rounds if they are in the same order as [[ABW01]]-[[ABW04]] if so we can at least move those four pages I think.

== Shin's page ==

I believe this [[User:Ataro/Shin (TAF)|page]] is ready to be mainspaced. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:00, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
:Not with that wall of text, it isn't. Space out the paragraphs first. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:02, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
::Fixed them. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:44, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
::I wanted you to mainspace the page, since it is under your username, unless permission is given otherwise. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 03:24, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

== Regarding Ninfia ==

I think you should also lock the one with the title "[[Ninfeon]]" as well, just in-case any fans may create a speculation page on an English name that hasn't officially been announced by The Pokémon Company International.

Just wanted to let you know!

== Big decision ==

So I was asking Kenji if I should add the Romanian names for places, people and Pokémon. She wasn't sure so she redirected me to you. The thing is, appart from episode titles and 80% percent of moves, my dear fellow romanians who dub the english episodes into our language didn't bother to give new names for the 3 "p" things from above. So having this in consideration, people who surf on this site and want to look up names for "p" in other languages they can't suppose that it has the same name in Romanian too. Plus there are also names which are common in other languages, so instead of making a new column for the romanian name, it should be simply put in the same column with the common languages, just like on Ash's page, in the "{{DL|Ash Ketchum|Names}}" section. There with German, English, etc. I don't mind adding them for all Pokémon, people and places. Plus, afterall that's what the language box was made for. Well what will it be ?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 07:56, 19 April 2012

== Secret Power - Serene Grace ==

Pardon me Mr. Editor-in-chief. But I am literally 100% sure that Secret Power isnt affected by Serene Grace and yet the proof I provide is considered unreliable because it is from Smogon. I myself was personally involved in the test, bringing the scenario to light and encouraging investigation into the code by Smogon's xfr, but the post I provided as proof doesnt seem to be enough. How can I provide "reliable" proof? {{unsigned|V4Victini}}
:I actually think Smogon could be used as a reliable source in this situation as I know Smogon does a lot of their own research. However, it is ''technically'' against the rules to use info as found from a fansite. Let me think about how we want to handle this.

Hi there! First of all, I apologize if you're not the right person to address to, but I figured you might be able to direct me to the right person if that's the case. A few months ago, I raised [[Talk:Generation_IV#Who_calls_it_.273D_Generation.27.3F|this]] issue regarding Generation IV's "fan-coined name", 3D generation. Apparently, it was overlooked; I was wondering if there's anything we can do to make it a bit more proper, or at least get the discussion going.

Let me ask you something, how exactly is that unneeded? [[Norman]] is referred to as dad and is your father in [[Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire]].

Now I have nothing against that you deleted the redirect, but I thought that redirect was appropriate, I guess I was wrong. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 21:54, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
:"Dad" is far too general. If someone was looking Ash Ketchum's rarely mentioned but never seen father, that'd be a bit jarring to see Norman. Or what about other people's fathers, like [[Cedric Juniper]], or [[Byron]], or any of the other father's we have pages for (there's more than you think). Dad/Father might be a candidate for a disambig at some point to be honest. A simple redirect won't do it, it's far too general a term. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:41, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

== US-centric POV ==

Early this morning, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Rule_variants&diff=1808620&oldid=1807800 I reverted] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Rule_variants&diff=1763603&oldid=1732031 an edit] by [[User talk:Diablo del Oeste|Diablo del Oeste]] from a few months ago, which added a lot of seemingly non-noteworthy information, and US-centric POV ''"milestones"''. [[User:MAGNEDETH|Magnedeth]] claimed that before making such a massive change, I should discuss it first, ignoring the fact that the original edit was in and of itself a massive enough change that it too should have been discussed prior.

As I stated in the edit summary, the information added is heavily weighed towards the US, and not treated internationally. The ''"milestones"'' added are arbitrary (such as "It was the first time an USA player would win the 3° place"), non-noteworthy and only focus on US players. Also, there is no need for results to be posted on this page, as the results themselves are already on the dedicated World Championship articles (e.g. [[2011 World Championships]]), so each particular section should just contain a hatlink to the relevant year's article.

{{incomplete}}
A '''rule variant''' refers to a [[Pokémon battle]] that follows certain regulations. While the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]] have no restriction on the Pokémon that a {{player}} may use, rule variants often restrict the [[level]]s, [[species]], [[item]]s, and [[move]]s of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, or place time limits on battles.

Pokémon players have also created their own rule variants. These rules are frequently used in unofficial competitive play in order to maintain balance and to minimize the luck involved in battles.

==Rules==
While normally banning unreleased and/or illegitimate Pokémon, moves, items, and Abilities, there are other sets of rules set to be followed by players under tournaments or individual battles, may they be official or otherwise.

===Clauses===
Almost all of the rule variations in Pokémon have a certain set of rules, which are called '''clauses''' by the [[fanon]]. Clauses are put into play in order to prevent degenerate strategies, to prevent the game from becoming stagnant, or to eliminate ties, among other reasons. The following clauses are often used in official tournaments, console Pokémon games, and unofficial battles:

* '''Species Clause''': All of the Pokémon on a player's team must be of different species or [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]].
* '''Item Clause''': Each Pokémon on a player's team must be holding different items.
* '''Self-KO Clause''' (also known as '''Kamikaze Clause'''): The player automatically loses if his last Pokémon uses {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}. {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{m|Perish Song}} also fail when used by the last Pokémon.
* '''Event Clause''': Pokémon and items that have only been released through [[event Pokémon|events]], such as {{p|Mew}}, are ineligible. This is often unheard of due to the Pokémon (and sometimes items) banned being specified.
* '''Sleep Clause''': Each player can only have one Pokémon asleep at a time (Pokémon that are put to sleep due to {{m|Rest}} do not count).
* '''Freeze Clause''': Each player can only have one Pokémon frozen at a time.
* '''Evasion Clause''': {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Minimize}}, [[BrightPowder]], and [[Lax Incense]] are banned. In some tournaments, the Abilities {{a|Sand Veil}} and {{a|Snow Cloak}} cannot be used with {{weather|sandstorm}} or {{weather|hail}}, respectively. Also, sometimes {{m|Acupressure}} and {{a|Moody}} are prohibted by this clause due to the possibility of raising evasiveness.
* '''One-hit KO Clause''' (simplified as the ''OHKO Clause''): One-hit KO moves, {{m|Fissure}}, {{m|Horn Drill}}, {{m|Guillotine}}, and {{m|Sheer Cold}}, are banned.
* '''Hax Item Clause''': Items that rely on chance, such as [[Focus Band]] and [[Quick Claw]] are banned. This clause is a "soft ban", and is usually ignored.
* '''Hidden Power Clause''': The move {{m|Hidden Power}} is banned, as the chances of legitimately obtaining a Pokémon with high [[Individual Values]] and an ideal type are extremely low. Alternatively, the move {{m|Hidden Power}} may only be banned on legendary Pokémon. Like the hax item clause, this clause is rarely enforced.
* '''Sleep Trapping Clause''': Followed mainly in [[Generation II]] competitive play, {{status|sleep}}-inducing moves cannot be used in conjunction with moves that trap the opposing Pokémon, such as {{m|Mean Look}}.

===Other rules===
There are other rules normally followed only by official tournaments, such as:
* No two or more Pokémon can have the same nickname.
* Pokémon cannot be nicknamed with the name of another Pokémon (i.e. An {{p|Unfezant}} named "Pidove" or "Arbok").

In addition, official [[Generation V]] tournaments have required the use of the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}} feature introduced by {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Tiers==
{{main|Tier}}
In competitive play, Pokémon are divided into tiers. A Pokémon's tier placing depends on several factors, including its [[base stats]], [[type]], movepool, and usage.

Tiers also serve as banlists. Battles take place according to tier, with all Pokémon in a higher tier banned. In the most common metagame, the '''Standard''' or '''Overused''' metagame, all Pokémon in the Uber tier are banned. In the '''Underused''' metagame, all Pokémon in the Borderline or higher tiers are banned.

In certain countries, such as France and Mexico, players are only allowed to use a maximum of one Pokémon out of a select group of Pokémon. This group of Pokémon is usually limited to {{pkmn2|legendary}} and [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

==Generation I==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)====
The {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|first Pokémon Stadium}} game, which was only released in Japan in 1998, was heavily based on the first two Japanese tournaments.

The game featured a tournament mode with two divisions: the L1-30 division, based on Nintendo Cup '98, and the L50-55 division, based on Nintendo Cup '99. The finalists from the Nintendo Cup '97 appeared as opponents in the L50-55 Division.

Each division featured a set of rules that would become standard for all console games:
* The species, Self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses are in effect.
* Both teams are shown before the battle, and each player must select three Pokémon to battle.
* Players have to defeat eight Trainers in a row to win the tournament. Upon losing, players must start over from the beginning. Unlike future console games, however, there are no Continues.

Certain tournaments have four divisions: the Poké, Great, Ultra, and Master Ball divisions. After a player clears a division, the next division is unlocked. If all four divisions are beaten, the player wins the Cup. In this game, the L1-30 Division had four divisions.

The game also featured a Free Battle mode where players could customize their rules.

====Pokémon Yellow====
The [[Cable Club]] in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green,]] and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] featured no rule regulations. However, {{game|Yellow}} featured an exclusive battle arena, Colosseum 2, with three Cups.

Each player could only use three Pokémon, and no additional rules were in effect, with the exception of level limitations. These Cups would later be used in the international {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and future international tournaments.

====Pokémon Stadium====
[[File:PKM Stadium 2 JPN Cups.png|thumb|200px|The Japanese Stadium Cups in Pokémon Stadium]]

A second Pokémon Stadium game, which would be released internationally as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, came out later in the year. In this game, the tournaments were called [[Stadium Cup]]s. In the Stadium Cups, a Continue is earned when a player wins a battle without losing any Pokémon. If a player loses a battle, a Continue can be used to re-try the previous battle.

All versions of Pokémon Stadium featured the Pika and Petit Cups from Pokémon Yellow Version's Colosseum 2, along with the Prime Cup, a no-holds barred tournament based on the normal Cable Club battles.

The Japanese version, known as Pokémon Stadium 2, also features three Nintendo Cups based on the first three Japanese tournaments, Nintendo Cups '97, '98, and '99. In-game representatives of its real-life participants appeared as opponents in Nintendo Cup '98, while Nintendo Cup '99 and the Prime Cup each had four divisions. When both Cups were cleared, the player would earn an upgrade in the [[Game Boy Tower]]. All three cups followed the species, self-Ko, sleep, freeze, and event clauses.

In the international versions, the Nintendo Cups were replaced with the Poké Cup from Yellow's Colosseum 2. The Poké Cup featured the four divisions and the arena of Nintendo Cup '99, and had to be cleared in tandem with the Prime Cup to unlock the [[Game Boy Tower]] upgrade. Due to its similarity to the Nintendo Cups, it is referred to as the "official Pokémon tournament". All four Cups had the species, self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses, while only the Pika and Poké Cups had the event clause.

|}

Pokémon Stadium also introduced a [[Gym Leader Castle]], where the player had to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] of the Generation I games. While the Castle featured no level restrictions, all of the opposing Pokémon would be at level 50 by default. If the player used a higher leveled Pokémon, all of the opponents' Pokémon would be at the same level as the player's highest-leveled Pokémon. A similar auto-leveling feature would appear in the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Generation III Battle Frontier]] and future battling facilities. The Castle also featured the same clauses as the Stadium Cups.

Pokémon Stadium was also the first Pokémon game that allowed more than two players to battle at a time. Up to four players could compete in the Free Battle mode; if two players were on a team, each player could only select and control three Pokémon. A similar mode of play, Multi Battle, was introduced in the [[Generation III]] main series games.

===In tournaments===
====Nintendo Cup '97====
A series of annual tournaments sponsored by Nintendo began in 1997, taking place in various locations across Japan. These tournaments, which would later be referred to as Nintendo Cups in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], established the first set of rule variants that would pave the way for all future tournaments and Pokémon games.

In first of these tournaments, Nintendo Cup '97, [[Full Battle]]s did not take place due to time constraints. Instead, each player selected three Pokémon to battle after showing their party of six to their opponent.

The finalists in the tournament appeared as opponents in the {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|first}} {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|two}} Japanese Pokémon Stadium games released. In addition, most of the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)#Pokémon|Pokémon that appeared]] in Pokémon Stadium were selected due to their tournament performance. <ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html] Pokémon Stadium Q&A</ref>

====Nintendo Cup '99====
The third tournament, Nintendo Cup '99, combined aspects from the previous two tournaments.

In addition to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, the Pokémon used by the finalists in Nintendo Cup '98 were also banned from the tournament.

====???====
The first North American tournament was held during the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], which took place to promote {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. Competitors were separated into three skill groups: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each skill group featured three divisions from Pokémon Stadium: the [[Pika Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and the [[Prime Cup]].

Each Cup division only lasted for two rounds. Each participant received a Pokémon Stadium Tour Competition Badge; in addition, players who won one match would receive a {{badge|Boulder}} while players who won both matches would receive the {{badge|Cascade}}.

====Pokémon 2000 World Championship====
Thunder for Down Under, a worldwide qualifier, took place later the same year in North America. In this tournament, players from Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States all competed in regional championships, with the winners heading for the Pokémon 2000 World Championship, the first Pokémon World Championship, in Sydney, Australia.

The championship was part of a 22-day event that started September 12 at Pokémon Park in Sydney University. The winner of the championship was Darryn Van Vuuren of the United Kingdom, followed by Edwin Krause of Germany in second, Sergio Garcia Maroto of Spain in third, and Ian Garvey of the United States in fourth.

In North America, the qualifying events took place at four {{wp|Wizards of the Coast}} stores, with 32 entrants for each store.

==Generation II==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
The final Pokémon Stadium game, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], featured four [[Stadium Cup]]s in all versions. The Poké and Prime Cups returned from the original; however, the Prime Cup only had one division. The [[Little Cup]] and the [[Challenge Cup]] were added, with the latter featuring four divisions. On the other hand, the moves {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} were banned in the Little Cup, making it the first rule variant to prohibit certain attacks. In the game, players could customize and save various sets of rules. Still, all cups follow the species, item, self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses; only the Prime Cup follows the event clause. With a total limit of 155, only the Poké Cup has a total level limit.

====Pokémon Crystal====
{{game|Crystal}} introduced the first {{jo|Battle Tower}}, a special battling facility. The Battle Tower's rules were similar to [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]'s, and this was later followed by future Battle Towers:
* Players must select three different Pokémon to battle.
* All Pokémon must be holding different items.
* The player must defeat seven opponents in a row. The challenge can only be interrupted by saving between battles; otherwise, the Trainer will be disqualified.

A change from the Pokémon Stadium games, a draw would end the player's streak, even if the opponent's Pokémon caused the draw with a move such as Explosion. Also, items could not be used from the [[Bag]].

In the Japanese version, players could access a ranking system by connecting with the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Each player would be ranked based on their streak, and the computers would use the teams of various Trainers. A similar feature would be used in the [[Generation IV]] {{si|Battle Tower}}.

Unlike future Battle Towers, powerful legendary and event Pokémon could be used in the level 70 and higher divisions.

===In tournaments===
====Nintendo Cup 2000====
[[File:2000 Cup logo.gif|thumb|300px|Nintendo Cup 2000 logo]]

In Japan, a fourth tournament for a Pokémon game, Nintendo Cup 2000, was held using {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Similar to Nintendo Cup '97, the tournament took place using Pokémon from levels 50-55, with a total limit of 155.

====Mobile Cup 2001====
[[File:Mobile Cup 2001.jpg|thumb|200px|Photo logo from Mobile Cup 2001]]

The second Generation II tournament, Mobile Cup 2001, was a not-so-well-known tournament with 1000 players that used the Japan-only [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], a feature exclusive only to Japanese {{game|Crystal}} games.

Each battle had a ten-minute time limit; if a decision was not made by that time, tournament officials would decide the outcome. Unlike previous tournaments, there were no limits on the number of Pokémon that could be asleep or frozen or moves that the last Pokémon could use.

==Generation III==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
{{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} introduced [[Double Battle]]s, where each player battled with two Pokémon at a time. In Double Battles, certain attacks affect multiple Pokémon and certain abilities, such as {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, only take effect in Double Battles. While Double Battles were rarely touched upon in the storyline, the format has been used in almost every tournament since the one held in Pokémon Festa 2004 and is the main format in the story modes of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

In the Cable Club, four players could play a Double Battle variant called the [[Tag Battle|Multi Battle]]. Similar to Pokémon Stadium, each player could only select and control three Pokémon at a time.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire featured a {{ho|Battle Tower}} extremely similar to {{jo|Battle Tower|Pokémon Crystal's}}. However, only two divisions were available: the Level 50 and the Level 100 division. Also, Double Battles could not be conducted.

====Pokémon Colosseum====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the [[Stadium Cup]]s were replaced with [[Colosseum]]s. While the general clauses remained from the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], the Colosseums had no special rules in place, with the exception of level divisions. Each Colosseum could be challenged in a single or Double Battle format.

Pokémon Colosseum also introduced [[Poké Coupon]]s, which were rewarded to the player upon completing portions of [[Mt. Battle]]. Poké Coupons could be traded in for various [[TM]]s or items; however, the player received a 15% penalty for each legendary Pokémon used.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In the remakes of the first [[Generation I]] games, a Battle Tower was not present; instead, [[Trainer Tower]] took its place.

While the Battle Tower valued winning streaks, Trainer Tower prioritized speed. In the Japanese version, players could scan [[e-Cards]] to change the floor layouts; in international versions, the [[e-Reader]] support was removed, and many of the card layouts were incorporated into the Tower.

Trainer Tower featured four modes of play: Singles, Doubles, Knockout, and Mixed. In a Knockout Battle, the player had to defeat three Trainers in a single battle consecutively. The Mixed mode incorporated battles from the other three layouts.

Unlike the Battle Tower, no clauses were in effect, items could be used from the [[Bag]], and the player could interrupt their challenge to use the [[Pokémon Center]] in the lobby at any time.

In addition, a special battle format was present in the [[Union Room]]. Each Trainer could select two Pokémon up to Level 30 in a Single Battle format.

====Pokémon Emerald====
Pokémon Emerald introduced the first {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. In addition to the Battle Tower, it featured six other facilities with special rules, similar to the [[Stadium Cup]]s.

Each facility could be challenged in a Single Battle or a Double Battle format. In addition, two players could team up in a Multi Battle format, where each player could control two Pokémon at a time. Players could battle in a Level 50 division or an Open Level division where all of the opponent's Pokémon would be at the same level as the player's highest-leveled Pokémon.

Unlike the previous Battle Tower, players would not receive items after winning a streak. Instead, players received [[Battle Point]]s. Like [[Poké Coupon]]s, Battle Points could be saved and traded in for certain items or attacks; however, there was no penalty for using legendary Pokémon.

In addition, [[Trainer Hill]] was added, which is similar to Trainer Tower.

====Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness====
Unlike {{g|Colosseum}}, {{Pokémon XD}} does not feature a Battle Mode. However, after completing the game, the player may challenge the [[Orre Colosseum]], which has similar regulations to the Colosseums in Battle Mode.

Like almost all of the battles in the game, the Colosseum uses the Double Battle format.

===In tournaments===
{{incomplete|section|Misc. official/Nintendo-supported tournaments worldwide}}
====???====
The first tournament of [[Generation III]] took place during [[Pokémon Festa]] 2003. Unlike previous Japanese tournaments, two divisions were available: a Level 50 and a Level 100 Division. The tournament used the Single Battle format, and only Pokémon from the [[Hoenn Pokédex]] could be used. Players that won three consecutive rounds won a {{p|Jirachi}}.

====???====
The following tournament took place at Pokémon Festa 2004. This tournament used the Double Battle format, which would be the official format for all future tournaments. Unlike single battles, each player selected four Pokémon for battle. In addition to the previous rules, new restrictions were placed on nicknames: no vulgarities are to be used nor any Pokémon could be named after another Pokémon (e.g. a Smeargle nicknamed "KYOGRE").

As {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} were released earlier that year, almost all of the Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] were available for use.

====Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle====
A small competition called the [[Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]] took place in 2005 to commemorate the international release of {{game|Emerald}}. Fourteen competitors were selected after a series of online quizzes, with a trip to {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}} on the line.

The tournament used the Single Battle format. Unlike other Generation III tournaments, all items were banned.

==Generation IV==

===In the games===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, six Cups were introduced for wireless battles in the Pokémon Colosseum Club Colosseum, many of which are similar to those in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. In addition, players could set the levels of all Pokémon to 50 or 100 during [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] battles.

[[Mix Battle]]s were also introduced, wherein players swap one Pokémon with each other from a team of three, then battle.

Unlike Pokémon Emerald, Diamond and Pearl does not have a Battle Frontier, only a {{si|Battle Tower}}. In addition, a level cap of 50 is established.

====Pokémon Battle Revolution====
Colosseums made their return in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; however, like the [[Stadium Cup]]s, each Colosseum features a special rule. Each battle takes place in a Level 30 or a Level 50 mode, and can eventually be challenged in a Single or a Double Battle format. Players may use [[Rental Pass]]es or [[Custom Pass]]es in any Colosseum except for the Gateway Colosseum, which restricts the player to Rental Passes.

Under Colosseum battles, the sleep, freeze, species, item, and self-KO clauses are followed.

In addition, Pokémon Battle Revolution features a mode of online play against random players, a system that eventually carried on to Pokémon Black and White. Battles could be conducted in a single or Double Battle format, with each player selecting three or four Pokémon before battle. All Pokémon are set to level 50, Pokémon nicknames are not used, and Trainer quotes are set to default. Other than that, there are no further restrictions.

====Pokémon Platinum====
As with Pokémon Emerald, a new {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} incorporated the Battle Tower and added four other battle facilities: the Battle Factory, Battle Arcade, Battle Castle, and Battle Hall. Each facility has a set of rules to be followed, all depending on the format of battle selected.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[Flat Battle]] mode was introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver at the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum. Regardless of rule set, all Pokémon are set to level 50 for the duration of the battle. The exact same Battle Frontier from Pokémon Platinum also made a return.

===In tournaments===
====???====
The first tournament for [[Generation IV]] took place in [[Pokémon Festa]] 2006, wherein Pokémon only found in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex#Diamond and Pearl edition|original Sinnoh Pokédex]] were eligible. No Pokémon are allowed to hold [[Soul Dew]], which remained a banned item throughout all Generation IV competitions from 2006 to 2010.

====Pokémon Video Game Championships 2010====
In 2010, powerful legendary Pokémon such as {{p|Mewtwo}} were allowed once again in the [[2010 World Championships]]. These Pokémon, referred to as '''special Pokémon''', were limited to two per team. Event-only Pokémon such as {{p|Mew}} were still banned.

The tournament used only {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and the rules followed the [[GS Cup]] rule set found in [[Flat Battle]] mode. All Pokémon above level 50 were leveled down to 50, while Pokémon below level 50 will retain their levels. Also, Pokémon that evolve at levels above 50 like {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} could compete.

==Generation V==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} introduced [[Triple Battle]]s, [[Rotation Battle]]s, and the [[Wonder Launcher]] were introduced, the last of which is only available on multiplayer. As with the introduction of [[Double Battle]]s, these introduced a new set of rules to be followed when battling under these formats.

Black and White also brought about the [[Pokémon Global Link]], with the [[Global Battle Union]] alongside it. Accessible in [[Pokémon Center]]s is the new Random Matchup mode wherein players may face random opponents over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] without Friend Codes. Any type of battle may be selected. Random Matchup follows its own set of rules for every format available, which updates at times. It also presents a ranking system, with worldwide ranks available on the Global Battle Union section of the Global Link.

===In tournaments===
====Global Battle Union tournaments====
{{main|Global Battle Union#Competitions|Global Battle Union}}
The Global Battle Union hosts its own tournaments via the Battle Competition option on the game menu, and acts similarly to Random Matchup. These tournaments are participated entirely through Wi-Fi connection, and randomly match the player with an opponent. Players are not eliminated, but instead lose points for losing. Each tournament can be joined by anyone with the appropriate region set on their accounts on the Global Link if there is space, and these tournaments each have their own set of rules. All Pokémon used must be placed in the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}}.

====Pokémon Video Game Championships 2011====
The [[2011 World Championships|2011 Video Game Championships]] became the venue for the first [[Generation V]] tournament. As with the first tournaments of [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] may be used. The tournament continued to use the Double Battle format, and due to a [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] {{m|Sky Drop}} was banned in this format.

TheChrisD: /* Manga counterpart aligned right */ new section

We must have a "Elite Four/Champion" yes/no here. -- [[User:Taylor|Taylor]]
:Yeah, I knew I was forgetting stuff. There's a LOT of potential fields to be added to this. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I am really regretting adding that Age box. Because apparently, our editors can't edit these pages like mature rational people who only are getting their information from canon sources, and are using it as an excuse to debate what they ''think'' the ages are. I'm considering just taking it out. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 17:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

== Voice Actor/Seiyū? ==

Do you think we could add a segment listing their English and Japanese voice actors? --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 07:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
:That would be a good idea as part of the subtemplate animeyes. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

== Manga Counterpart ==

Similar to the Anime one. Isn't it needed?

== Spaces ==

Why does the infobox have those spaces in it? Particulary in the header and the age box. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

:Probably inserted as part of {{u|Politoed666}}'s project of trying to clear out the [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates|uncategorized templates]]. That "testing" edit I made was to see if this was indeed the case. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

::After further tests, I believe this is indeed the case. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Why? ==

Why do some of the movie characters have no tables while some do? *[[User:Tc26|tc]][[User talk:Tc26|26]]* 12:40, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

== Code outline ==

An outline of code for copy-pasting would be nice thanks, like other templates. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 03:25, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== Question ==

Is there any way to make it so that there's not a huge gap between the template and the article (see Charon's history for more info)? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

==Opinions==
===Like it===
* This is really good stuff. TTE has been working really hard on this for the past couple of days.--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 23:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

===Hate it===

===Other===
I'm going to find someone like TTE or an expert in coding to make the boxes have switching capabilities so characters like May and Dawn switch artwork...--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

::Expert in coding at your service. It's finished. Commentary opens tomorrow morning at 10. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:13, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
::Ahem? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks a bunch TTE.--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 23:16, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

== Champion slot ==

Should the champ slot be filled in if the character has won a championship then continues to be a regular trainer i.e. {{Ash}} or {{adv|Red|Red from Adventures}}?

Of course, this discounts all the player characters in the main games, save perhaps [[Red (game)|GSCHGSS!Red]]. -

== This has been bugging me for a while ==

Wouldn't it have been easier to update the '''original''' character infobox into the new one? PokémonInfobox had no problems with this....--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 07:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
:We didn't want to break all the pages while we update, so we made a new one in a new name, and after we changed them all - we ''merged'' the revisions from the old one into this one. Same result, same amount of work. What would've been easier? --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 09:44, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

== Roundy corners. ==

I request (One more and we have...) this template to be fixed so every browser can see the rounded corners (-moz-border-radius: 10px to <code><nowiki>{{Roundy|10px}}</nowiki></code>). [[User:Masatoshi|'''聖人''']] [[User talk:Masatoshi|'''''wat''''']] 13:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
:Updating a request; I was seeing {{an|Iris}}'s article, and I noted that the '''Game Counterpart''' section's corners were wrong, they shouldn't be <code>class="roundybl/br"</code>, change it to <code>class="roundy"</code>. [[User:Masatoshi|'''Masatoshi: Gen. II>All.''']] [[User talk:Masatoshi|'''''Discuss.''''']] 23:44, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

== Birthday ==
I've noticed that a few characters (like [[Lunick]]) have a canon birthday, but it's listed in the Trivia section. Should another part be added to the template for birthdays? --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 15:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

== Manga counterpart ==

Am I the only one who's annoyed with the "Manga counterpart" field? It's yet another thing that makes it seem like Pokemon Adventures was the only true Pokemon manga, which is not true. We might change this to "Adventures counterpart" but it'd still make Special seem more important than other mangas. We could also change this field to "Manga counterparts" (which would include counterparts from all mangas). If the latter, we'd have to delete the "Debut chapter" field (because we'd have to add a chapter for every manga, which would stretch the template, making it fugly). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:18, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

== Trainer class parameter ==

Go take a look at {{an|Cilan}}, check the parameter and how wrong it looks, it should either be changed to {{template|roundy}}, or mix it with the '''Game counterpart''' parameter. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 21:26, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== Blood type? ==

Maybe add a parser for it? It seems odd that the trivia for the Adventures-related characters are mostly about this. We could get rid of it as a result. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 01:20, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
:I had been thinking the same thing but never brought it up. I've added it to the template. :D [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 01:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
::The next thing to do is to edit the template again so that if "Blood Type" is the last field be filled in, then it gets rounded on the bottom. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 09:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Done. But who is there that we know their blood type but not their hair or eye colour? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:15, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

== Manga debut chapters ==

I was wondering, is there a way to make the chapter debut sections list multiple chapters like it's able to list multiple counterparts? I'm raising the point that Maxim made early; the whole "Adventures" being treated as the only manga thing. I can't seem to list more than one, and I'm not sure if there's a way to just ''not'' list the chapter at all. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 14:50, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

== Zodiac issue ==

Apparently there's an issue with the zodiac info. {{adv|Gold}} for instance is a Cancer, not a Leo. Can someone modify the template to reflect this? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 21:29, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
:Are the star signs actually mentioned in the manga? Is it actually relevant at all? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:35, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
::That's another thing I'm curious about as well. I don't think there was any mention of their zodiac signs... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:19, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

== Where is the manga? ==

The debut rounds of [[Bill (Adventures)]], [[Giovanni (Adventures)]] and [[Walker]] are invisible in their pages. I tried to open in three different browsers, but I still can't see "Debut round" in the Infobox, only when I open the source. Is something wrong? [[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 04:52, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:The parsers for this template (roundnum and roundname) were apparently removed (possibly by accident). [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 06:36, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::I already told you why. It's because the template was [[User_talk:Zesty_Cactus#Organization|severally disorganized]]. I asked for the space where chapter titles go to be edited. Zesty opted for removing them, I guess. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 06:59, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I recall the converstaion, but this was in regards to the counterparts aspect for the most part, but hmm... maybe it wasn't placed there to begin with? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 07:00, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::Yes, but removing it removed it for all. I never intended for this to happen, but I'd take it up with Zesty to see if we can find a compromise. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 07:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:::::What needs to happen is the template needs to be rebuilt to adjust for the fact that the code was clearly intended for game characters only. Relatively simple rebuild: just a rearrangement of existing parameters, maybe a couple of new ones. Using 'counterpart' parameters for non-counterpart information (As it was on the adventures pages) is far from ideal and often leads to inaccuracies or unexpected bugs. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::::Well, it's working perfectly in [[Template:TrainerClassInfobox]] like with {{tc|Youngster}}, maybe its code can be used to fix this one. I don't know how this works, though. The problem is that the pages that I mentioned in the beginning are not common characters with counterparts, they have their own pages.

== Manga counterpart aligned right ==

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACharInfobox&diff=1738697&oldid=1679610] recently changed the layout of the table, but has accidentally aligned the manga counterpart section to be aligned right.

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}
:[http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search Veekun already has this], and I think the way Bulbapedia is structured would make it very, very hard to implement here. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

== Share Buttons ==

I feel that bulbapedia should have share on facebook,twitter and +1 google buttons to make it more popular and allow people to easily share and suggest information to their friends and family.This will help Bulbapedia further expand, get more contributors and grow. {{unsigned|Pokepranav}}

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required.

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times.

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created. I think the categorization of the main page is essential, and that this change should be implemented on Bulbapedia. I look forward to your responses, and to working with you in the future! Kind regards, [[User:Rassilon of Old|'''Rassilon of Old''']] ([[User talk:Rassilon of Old|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rassilon_of_Old|Contribs]]) 06:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia.

Bulbapedia needs a mobile site. I view on my device all the time. Not an app but a site. e.g. M.bulbapedia.org ---- DrBrock

::I wouldnt quite go that far, Han. We have been discussing a mobile site, and we almost made an app. The mobile site is a lot harder than simply copy/paste code, and with companies getting really strict on apps, thats looking questionable as well. So the real answer is, do we '''need''' one? I dont think we do, but would we ''like'' one? Yes, but it isnt in the cards right now. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 21:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate. Also factoring the advent of 4G mobile services, I don't see it being necessary now or in the future. [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 16:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic. I don't see why having a detailed article would be a bad idea. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

::::::@Truthseeker4449 You are dead wrong. There are ways to tell if a game is pirated or not. Usually its the subtle details that determine the difference. Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison). I got a little more crazy about it [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=398669 here] and [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=400866 here].

:::::::You ask "who's going to see?", the same question applies even if it was in the mainspace. How many sellers/re-sellers are going to come to Bulbapedia to check if their game is a bootleg? Beyond that, a page would be of no use to buyers since there's often no way to ''really'' tell you're bidding on a bootleg game until it arrives at your doorstep. And, Bulbapedia definitely can't go around saying things like "If the game is American and the seller's location is China, it's probably a bootleg." that's just asking for trouble. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Felines introduced each region... ==

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

== New Article for Battle things ==

Certain aspects of the game that have always confused me a bit are the phrases that appear during battle such as "'''But it failed'''", or "'''It doesn't affect __'''" (which I've discovered is actually different from "'''It didn't affect ___'''"). "'''But it missed'''" is simple enough, but there are other which I don't understand. I do not know the details personally, but I would find the info very useful, so I am requesting someone to create an article which explains what all of those things that appear in a battle actually mean.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 03:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:"But it failed" is usually the [[Status move|Non-damaging]] version of "But it missed", which can be either [[Physical move|Physical]] or [[Special move|Special]]. Not affecting a Pokémon refers to an immunity, for example {{type|Ground}}s are immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks, and so on. An immunity can also be based on an ability, such as a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} will not be able to fall asleep.

::Thank you. That makes it much more clear :D However, whilst playing Crystal (the one I'm playing at the moment), I swear that sometimes, even if the pokemon is not immune to the move, it will still say "'''it didn't affect'''", and I don't know why... '''doesn't''' implies that is never affects it, but when it says '''didn't''' it sounds like it means the same thing at '''but it failed'''.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 06:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Pearl in 2D Mode ==

Does anyone here know how to disable the 3D when walking through routes for example in Pokémon Pearl Version using an Action Replay code? I tried searching for an hour and got nowhere. I got the right tools to do so but don't have the right code to make the game run in 2D mode. Also does anyone have a completed game save just to save time so I can make maps for the [[:Category:Articles needing better pictures|Sinnoh Routes needing better images]]? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 19:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

== Japanese Species Names ==

Is there a reason why the original Japanese species name is not included on each Pokémon's page? The original Japanese name of Pokémon, techniques, town descriptions, and Gym Leader titles are included, so why not species? [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 15:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
:This information is better suited to the Japanese wiki. The others are included as information only on important individual names (thus being an interesting piece of trivia), and so having the original Japanese species names is a bit pointless, considering that this is an English wiki (species names aren't very important).--[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalk]][[User talk:Chalkwriter|writer]] 18:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

'''Blizzard''' (Japanese: '''ふぶき''' ''Snowstorm'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Ice}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM14]] in every generation so far.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Blizzard does damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|freeze|freezing}} the target. It has an accuracy of 90% in Generation I.

In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation I]] [[main series]] games, Blizzard had a 30% chance of freezing. The chance was lowered to 10% for {{game|Yellow}}'s Colosseum 2, the [[Pokémon Stadium]] games, and all international Generation I games. <ref>http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/kokke.pixie/zukan/waza.htm</ref><ref>[http://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/azure/compendium/myths.htm References to Blizzard's former freeze rate in the English Pokémon ROMs and Pokémon Yellow instruction manual] </ref>

===Generation II===
Blizzard has an accuracy of 70% and has a 30% chance of freezing the target.

===Generation III===
Blizzard will hit both opponents in a [[double battle]].

===Generation IV===
Blizzard cannot miss if used while it is [[weather conditions#Hailstorm|hailing]]. In Diamond and Pearl, it also has a 25% chance of bypassing {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}, but not in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]] onward.

===Generation V===
In [[triple battle]]s, Blizzard will only hit opposing adjacent Pokémon.

==Trivia==
*Prior to [[Generation V]] Suicune was the only non-{{type2|Ice}} to learn Blizzard through level-up, but only in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Prior to its release, all Pokémon that could learn Blizzard by leveling up were at least part-{{type2|Ice}}. In Generation V, it was joined by {{p|Castform}}.
**However, Castform can transform into Ice-type.

Freeze (status condition)

2011-08-11T10:56:39Z

TheChrisD: Alakazam is being frozen in the Gen 1 pic, as is Venusaur in Gen 2. Before Gen 3 there was no visual effect to show a 'mon was frozen every turn.

{{redirect|Freeze|unexpected freezes which prevent the game from continuing|game freeze}}
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|[[Iris's Excadrill|Excadrill]] is frozen]]
The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese:'''こおり''' ''Ice'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is the only [[status ailment]] that does not have a move that will always cause it.

It is evidently associated with the {{t|Ice}} type, as the majority of moves that can freeze are of this type, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are immune to being frozen. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

==Effect==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Pictures of a Pokémon being frozen in each generation}}
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary between generations.

===Generation I===
Once frozen, a Pokémon can't be thawed out in battle other than via the use of items such as an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} or being hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move.

===Generation II onwards===
A frozen Pokémon has a 20% chance of being thawed out every turn. On the turn that a Pokémon defrosts, it cannot attack until the next turn, similar to {{status|Sleep}} in Generation I. In addition, several moves can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process); Pokémon can't be frozen in {{weather|intense sunlight}}, but they don't thaw out faster if already frozen, contrary to popular belief.

===Generation III onwards===
Same as Generation II, but Pokémon can attack on the turn that they defrost. Animation also shows up on every turn Pokémon is frozen (in contrast to previous generations, where animation showed up only when freeze was inflicted).

Freezing also disables the ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.

In addition, a frozen {{DL|Form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.

===Appearance===
{{movegen
|type=ice
|genI=Freeze I
|genII=Freeze II
|genIII=Freeze III}}

==Causes==
===Moves===
Unlike other major status ailments, there is nothing in battle that can cause freezing except for several moves, and even then those freeze rarely, with no move having freezing the opponent as a primary effect. This is likely due to the aforementioned rarity imposed due to freeze being a powerful effect. The following are the moves that can freeze their targets.

|}

===Other causes===
Pokémon can be frozen by the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{p|Dusclops}} in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pike}}, and by the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Arcade}}.

==Prevention and curing==
Being frozen can be cured with the use of an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Ice Heal}} or an [[Aspear Berry]] ({{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Burnt Berry}} in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}}, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, [[Lum Berry]], {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Casteliacone}}, and [[Sacred Ash]]. {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} also removes it from all Pokémon in the party. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} ability will be cured while it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 30% chance of being cured every turn.

Damaging {{type2|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. (This includes {{m|Hidden Power}}, if its type is fire). As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|Intense sunlight|sunny weather}}; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fusion Flare}}, and {{m|Scald}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} ability are completely immune to being frozen by Ice-type moves; however, Ice-type Pokémon can be frozen by {{m|Tri Attack}}.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
[[File:EP189.png|right|thumb|{{an|Jigglypuff}} is frozen|200px]]
Freeze isn't as common in the Anime as other status ailments are. In the anime, the frozen status is literally the same as in the games; once a Pokémon in frozen it can't move and is open to attacks. In some cases, a referee may call a frozen Pokémon unable to battle.

'''Ash's Bayleef''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベイリーフ''' ''Satoshi's Bayleaf'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Chikorita.png|200px|thumb|left|As a Chikorita]]
Bayleef was introduced in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'' as a {{p|Chikorita}}. Chikorita was especially stubborn, going so far as to fight against [[Ash's Charizard]] despite obvious overwhelming odds; she was injured in the process. [[Team Rocket]] tried to convince the stubborn Pokémon to join them, but Ash eventually won her confidence by saving her from Team Rocket.

Chikorita later was used in ''[[EP127|Once In a Blue Moon]]'' to try getting the [[GS Ball]] back. However, Chikorita only wanted to be affectionate, so when Ash told Chikorita not to, Chikorita got angry and hit Ash with her leaf.

Chikorita made her gym battle debut in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', where she took on [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}}. Ash showed that he believes in Chikorita by defending his choice to a disapproving Falkner, but Chikorita was outclassed by the [[Flying (type)|flying]] type, who dodged its {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then knocked it out with a {{m|Peck}} and a {{m|Tackle}}.

Chikorita's jealousy of Pikachu and resentment towards Ash arose in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]''. Ash tried to withdraw Chikorita for Pikachu in battle with a Trainer's {{p|Raticate}}, but Chikorita would not allow this and the battle was suspended by the time Ash caught her. She later ran away during the night and stumbled into the territory of a group of urban Pokémon. Lashing out at the {{p|Primeape}} leader, she knocks it out and becomes the new leader. Team Rocket tries to take her and the other Pokémon with their robot made out of tires, but Ash risks himself to save her, and Chikorita returns the favor by catching him when he falls. The two then take down the robot and Chikorita forgives Ash and becomes friends with Pikachu.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Chikorita was sent out to battle against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Spinarak}}, who had already immobilised his {{AP|Cyndaquil}}. Chikorita used {{m|Sweet Scent}} to daze Spinarak and knocked it out with {{m|Tackle}}. However, she was completely caught off guard by Bugsy's {{p|Metapod}}, which used Tackle and knocked Chikorita out.

In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Chikorita defeated {{an|Misty}}'s powerful {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. She was almost defeated by the powerful {{m|Water Gun}}, but she dug in her heels and then managed to dodge {{m|Tackle}} and hit Staryu from behind with {{m|Vine Whip}}. By this point, she had proven to increase her battling capability significantly, taking down [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} in a single Tackle in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''.

[[File:Ash And Chikorita.png|200px|thumb|right|Chikorita showing affection]]
In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to protect Ash from Team Rocket. However, it took a while for the amorous Pokémon to realize that she had grown so much - she continued to act as though she was still small enough to leap into Ash's arms for quite some time. This problem was addressed in the next episode, ''[[EP200|Turning Over A New Bayleef]]'', where she ran away after Ash scolded her, "get away and stay away". Bayleef then came across [[Haruno]] and her Pokemon, and she and Ash made up in the process of taking down Team Rocket's giant Bayleef mecha. She learned {{m|Body Slam}} at the end of the episode.

She was briefly sent back to [[Professor Oak's lab]] in ''[[EP216|Duelling Heroes]]'', in exchange for {{AP|Kingler}}, who Ash needed to compete in the [[Whirl Cup]]. She did not warm up to Oak well, and Oak called Ash to inform him that Bayleef was restless. Finished with Kingler, Ash returned Bayleef to his team in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokemon!]]'', Bayleef competed in the [[Extreme Pokemon Race]] with Ash, racing against [[Gary Oak]] and [[Gary's Arcanine|his Arcanine]]. She showed an immense feat of strength by hurling Ash at Team Rocket's balloon so that Ash could pierce it with his skateboard and rescue Arcanine. She then arrived just in time to attack {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and hold it off long enough for Gary to catch up and take out Arbok with his Arcanine. Bayleef and Ash work together to finish the race and they manage to best Gary just at the end, winning the race for Ash.

In Ash's Gym Battle against [[Chuck]] in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Bayleef single-handedly won Ash the badge after Pikachu's defeat to {{p|Poliwrath}}. She bested Poliwrath in a display of strength, slamming Poliwrath to the ground with {{m|Vine Whip}} and then using {{m|Body Slam}} to knock it out. She then fought Chuck's powerful {{p|Machoke}}, taking damage from {{m|Karate Chop}} and {{m|Submission}}, but showing good strategy by restricting Machoke's arms with her vines to block his {{m|Cross Chop}}, and then using her own Submission-induced momentum to in turn slam Machoke to the ground. She then used Body Slam and a point blank {{m|Razor Leaf}} to take out Machoke and win the battle.
[[File:Ash Bayleef jump.png|thumb|left|Ash's Bayleef leaping with Vine Whip]]
It was the only member of his then-current team (besides {{AP|Pikachu}}) to make up Ash's team of six against [[Gary Oak]]. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'', she was sent out to give Ash a type advantage over Gary's powerful {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, managing to use {{m|Vine Whip}} to jump above {{m|Hydro Pump}}. However, her aerial {{m|Razor Leaf}} was deflected by {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and she was knocked out when Blastoise [[Bite (move)|bit]] her leaf and tossed her aside.

She redeemed this loss in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'' in battle with {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Houndoom}}, again showing innovativeness by clamping Houndoom's jaw shut with Vine Whip and then using {{m|Body Slam}} to take it down. She put up her best efforts against {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}, but was unable to overcome another type disadvantage and was bested by a {{m|Fire Punch}}. She was left at Professor Oak's lab before Ash departed for Hoenn.

She was reunited with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', when she rescued him from the stampeding {{AP|Tauros}}.

She appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' alongside Ash's other Pokémon. She was sent to Ash from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Prof. Oak's lab]] and tackled Barry. Then, she found Ash and tackled him, too. When he tried to return her to her [[Poké Ball]], she took it in her mouth, wanting to spend more time with Ash. She later helped destroy the hands of one of [[Team Rocket's mechas]], and afterwards, was sent back to Professor Oak's lab. Bayleef was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

In special episodes, she was seen as a Chikorita and Bayleef. As a Chikorita, she was seen helping {{p|Delibird}} to collect its presents and to make the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman. She also appeared several times in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', where she was used in the battle against [[Lisa (movie)|Lisa]]. She put up a good fight against {{p|Girafarig}}, but was ultimately defeated by {{m|Psybeam}}. As a Bayleef, she was seen helping Tracey to feed the Pokémon at the ranch.

==Personality==
Early on, Bayleef developed what seemed to be a crush on Ash, constantly fighting for his attention and trying to get his approval. Her personality is stubborn, passionate and sometimes violent. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash's other Pokémon receive - especially {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution. She has proven to be a powerful and tactical battler, often using her vines to restrict opponent's moves (clamping Houndoom's jaw and Machoke's arms) or even as a propeller to become airborne, a tactic later copied by Gary's {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Electabuzz}} when [[trade]]d holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}}. It is the final form of {{p|Elekid}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Electivire is a humanoid creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, and five black fingers on each of its hands. It lacks a neck, similarly to its baby form, {{p|Elekid}}, and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead and the same antennae as {{p|Electabuzz}}. There is a pattern on Electivire's back that resembles an electric outlet that would accept a plug similar to the one on Elekid's head, and it has two black tails that each have a red tip. Electivire has black feet with three toes in the front.

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

====Special abilities====
Electivire can use attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, except that Electivire's attacks will be more powerful. However, Electivire is also capable of knowing {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. {{t|Electric}}al attacks are unable to do any damage to Electivire, but will instead {{a|Motor Drive|increase its speed}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Electivire hide away in complex power plants. Some also live atop cliffs and mountains, while some nest in dark, dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Electivire usually feed off electric currents. In the last episode of the [[Advanced Generation series]], when [[Team Rocket]] first saw Gary's Electivire, it was eating fruits that it got off the trees.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
[[File:Voldon.png|thumb|Voldon's Electivire Costume]]
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], it is possible to get a transferable Electivire, along with the Gold Pass, by entering one of the following codes - depending on region and language - at the "Self-Introduction" option in the Profile menu:
**US:
***<code>BA16-X4SH-E2AT</code>
**PAL:
***English: <code>tko3-9jwp-34kl</code>
***French: <code>jk4i-df87-dsf9</code>
***Spanish: <code>04in-1ynj-24fv</code>
***German: <code>0f9-ud0g-ughj</code>
***Italian: <code>t4oi-6j8d-sb5r</code>.

* Electivire has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all non-legendary {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Electivire is one of a few Pokémon whose species name is the same as the name of a move. In Electivire's case, the move is {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* Electivire is the only Electric-type Pokémon to learn {{m|Giga Impact}} by [[level]] up.
* Electivire, along with {{p|Magmortar}}, {{p|Gliscor}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, both the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} and {{p|Elekid}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.
** This excepts the special Electivire available through Battle Revolution.
* An Electivire Costume is worn by [[Voldon]] in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
*Electivire was the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} that debuted before the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] not to have debuted in a {{pkmn|movie}} first.
* Electivire can learn {{m|Fire Punch}}, a move not of its type, in three different ways: as a starting move, by tutoring, and as an egg move. It shares this trait with its counterpart, {{p|Magmortar}}, who learns {{m|ThunderPunch}} in this manner.
*{{p|Magmortar}} and Electivire's relation is reminiscent of that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, since both are oppositions between fire and electricity.

===Origin===
Electivire seems to be based on a {{wp|yeti}}. It is also very likely to be based on a {{wp|gorilla}}. However, its Motor Drive ability which boosts speed after being struck by an electric attack by stimulating its muscles to help move faster is similar to an electric motor, as the name implies.

====Name origin====
Elekible is believed to be combination of エレキテル ''erekiteru'', electricity, and ケーブル ''kēburu'', cable.

''Electivire'' is based on the words ''electricity'' and ''wire'', as in the two cord-like tails it has. Its name could have also been based ''vampire'', because its ability {{a|Motor Drive|"feeds" off electric attacks}}.

'''Whiscash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナマズン''' ''Namazun'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Barboach}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Whiscash are dark blue fish that are bulky in physique. They have huge cavernous mouths and long barbels that usually act as feelers. These barbels are even able to be manipulated like tentacles. They also have a marking on their foreheads that resemble a "W". They also possess a dorsal fin that, unlike other fish, is horizontal, much like a sea mammal's tail fluke. As shown in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', they have large tongues.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Much like other ground types, they have the ability to cause their own earthquakes in addition to predicting real ones.

===Behavior===
Whiscash are usually calm fish unless confronted by anything they perceive as a threat. In case this happens, Whiscash may cause their own earthquakes as well as struggle if they are caught on a fishing line.

As shown in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] as well as the anime, it is not uncommon for a Whiscash to swallow [[Poké Ball]]s. This could quite possibly be its way of avoiding capture.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
They tend to inhabit the murky depths of placid lakes and slow moving river systems.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Whiscash are carnivores that will swallow their prey whole.

==In the anime==
[[File:Nero.jpg|thumb|right|210px|[[Nero|Whiscash]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
A Whiscash named [[Nero]] appeared in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.

Whiscash was the third Pokémon that [[Juan]] used for the second half of the [[Gym]] battle in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]''. The Whiskers Pokémon was defeated by [[Ash's Swellow]].

It was to also appear in another episode called ''[[AG101 (unaired)|Shaking Island Battle!! {{tt|Dojoach|Barboach}} VS {{tt|Namazun|Whiscash}}!!]]''. However, this episode was never aired due to the fact that it involved earthquakes which Japan had recently suffered.

===Minor appearances===
A Whiscash also appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.

Another Whiscash also appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

A Whiscash also appeared in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' where he assigned Team Go-Getters and Team Meanies to rescue Pichu's brother, Pikachu.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG075|Whiscash|May's Pokédex|Whiscash, the Whiskers Pokémon. Whiscash has strong territorial instincts and goes berserk when any enemy approaches, creating earthquakes.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], both [[Wallace]] and [[Mr. Briney]] each own Whiscash. Mr. Briney used his to predict the massive, constant earthquakes to determine when he could go fishing, among other reasons. Wallace's Whiscash, Phillipe, is primarily used for contests. Ruby was amazed at how different the two were despite being the same species.

==Trivia==
*Like its pre-evolution, Barboach, it is the only non-{{type2|Electric}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Spark}}.
**Also, in an unusual contradiction, Whiscash is part {{t|Ground}}. Ground type attacks are super effective on {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
** This may be a reference to how several species of realworld {{wp|catfish}} use electricity to navigate and find prey.
*The {{smw|microgame}} "{{smw|Electric Groove Fish}}" in WarioWare, Inc. Mega Microgame$ for Game Boy Advance shows a fish similarly shaped to Whiscash, complete with a "W" on its forehead.
*A giant Whiscash appeared in [[AG101 (unaired)|an episode]] which has never aired in Japan or internationally.

===Origin===
Whiscash is based on ''{{wp|Namazu (Japanese mythology)|Namazu}}'', a {{wp|catfish}} in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.
====Name origin====
Whiscash's name is based on ''whisker'', referring to the long whiskers it has; the ''-cash'' part of its name is presumably an abbreviation of the word '''ca'''tfi'''sh'''.

''Namazun'' is based on 鯰 ''Namazu'', a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes. 鯰 ''namazu'' is also Japanese for catfish.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Welsar - From ''Wels'' (catfish).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Barbicha - From ''barbiche'' (barb) and ''poisson-chat'' (catfish).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메깅 ''Meging''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 鯰魚王 ''Nián Yú Wáng'' - Literally "Catfish king".

==Trivia==
* Its name may be a pun on the word ''{{a|Synchronize}}''.
* An {{p|Umbreon}} using this move will always deal no damage, since it would try to damage Dark-type Pokémon. It would only hit if a Dark-type foe were holding a Bull's Eye, or if a partner had {{m|Soak}}ed the foe and Umbreon.

====Out of battle====
Secret Power allows the user to create their own [[secret base]]. When used on certain trees, a vine drops down. When used on indented walls, a cave opens. When used on certain bushes, an entrance opens.

===[[Generation IV]]===
Secret Power inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing a secondary effect on the target. The effect is determined by the environment. The attack's appearance also changes to another move's animation. It no longer has the out-of-battle effect of creating a secret base, as these are now located in [[the Underground]].

Elemental monkeys

2011-02-26T19:26:48Z

TheChrisD: Undo revision 1372922 by J-J-M (talk) No, trust me, the article needs them.

'''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and their respective evolutions {{p|Yanakkie}}, {{p|Baokkie}}, and {{p|Hiyakkie}}. The name is derived from the fact all of the Pokémon are based on monkeys with a different elemental type ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectfully) and are closely related in terms of [[stats]], [[moves]], and appearance. This term should not be confused with other Pokémon based on monkeys like {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Mankey}} etc.

==Pansage and Yanakkie==
{| align="right"
| {{Compare|name=Pansage|type=Grass|ndex=511|ab=Gluttony|abd=Overgrow|HP=50|Attack=53|Defense=48|SpAtk=53|SpDef=48|Speed=64}}

|}
{{Main|Pansage (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Yanakkie (Pokémon)}}

Pansage is the first of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type2|Grass}} of the group. It evolves into Yanakkie when exposed to the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}. Pansage made its first appearance alongside {{p|Axew}} on toys dating back to July 2010, making it the first of the monkeys ever seen by fans.

Pansage is a green colored monkey with a tan colored face, arms, and upper body. It has a tree-like forming on its head and a pair of leaves on its tail. Yanakkie is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily green in coloration. It has a pointed, bush-like crest on its head similar to a Pompadour and broad ears to the sides of it. It has little fluff on its shoulders and a thorny tail. Pansage is based on "Speak no Evil" from the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif.

As a Grass-type, Pansage and Yanakkie are capable of learning various Grass-type moves such as {{m|Seed Bomb}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and even {{m|Grass Knot}}, and are capable of having the {{a|Overgrow}} ability via [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Pansage's leaves are known to cure exhaustion and Yanakkie attacks with its thorny tail if angered.

Pansage can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} either as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Site of Dreams]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Tepig}} as his or her starter, or via shaking grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lost Forest]]. If the player picked {{p|Oshawott}} as his/her starter, then the player will face against [[Cilan]] with a Pansage in the first gym.

==Pansear and Baokkie==
{| align="right"

|}
{{Main|Pansear (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Baokkie (Pokémon)}}

Pansear is the second of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type2|Fire}} of the group. It evolves into Baokkie when exposed to the {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.

Pansear is a red monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and upper body, it has a flame shaped hair on it head and a arrow shaped-feature on its tail. Baokkie is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily red in coloration. It has a swirled, flame-like crest on its head and broad ears to the sides of it. It has fluffs of white hair on its shoulders and a tail resembling a plume of fire. Pansear is based on "Hear no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As a Fire-type, Pansear and Baokkie are capable of learning various Fire-type moves such as {{m|Flame Burst}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}} and are capable of having the {{a|Blaze}} ability via [[Pokémon Dream World]]. When angered Pansear's fire tuft will burn, and Baokkie burns opponents by scattering the fire inside its body from its head and tail.

Pansear can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} either as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Site of Dreams]] if the player chose {{p|Oshawott}} as his or her starter, or via shaking grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lost Forest]]. If the player picked {{p|Snivy}} as his/her starter, then the player will face against [[Chili]] with a Pansear in the first gym.

==Panpour and Hiyakkie==
{| align="right"

|}
{{Main|Panpour (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Hiyakkie (Pokémon)}}

Panpour is the last of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{t|Water}}-type of the group. It evolves into Hiyakkie when exposed to the {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

Panpour is a blue monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and lower body, its hair on its head is shaped like a fountain or {{wp|mushroom cloud}} and its tail has a {{wp|Suit (cards)|club}}-like shape at the end. Hiyakkie is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily blue in coloration. It has crests on its head similar to dreadlocks and broad ears to the sides of it. Hiyakkie also have a cream-colored face, chest, hands, arms, legs, and feet. Panpour is based on "See no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As a Water-type, Panpour and Hiyakkie are capable of learning various Water-type moves such as {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Surf}} plus some {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and are capable of having the {{a|Torrent}} ability via [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Panpour gathers water, stores it into its hair, and then dampens its body using its tail. The water stored in the tuft on its head is full of nutrition and plants watered with it will grow well. Hiyakkie can use the stored water in its tail ether as backup when water supply is low or use it as a powerful weapon strong enough to destroy concrete.

Panpour can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} either as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Site of Dreams]] if the player chose {{p|Snivy}} as his or her starter, or via shaking grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lost Forest]]. If the player picked {{p|Tepig}} as his/her starter, then the player will face against [[Cress]] with a Panpour in the first gym.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cilan and Pansage.png|250px|thumb|right|Cilan and Pansage]]
Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour made their debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' under the ownership of Gym Leaders {{an|Cilan}}, [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] respectively. Chili and his Pansear were the first that fought against {{Ash}}. However, even though it was fairly skilled at using its moves, it got swung around by its tail and eventually lost to [[Ash's Tepig]].

The next fight was Cress's Panpour vs. [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Panpour was at a clear disadvantage due to its typing but still won the battle by not giving a chance for Pikachu to attack.

===Cilan's Pansage===
{{Main|Cilan's Pansage}}

Cilan's Pansage was the last of the Pokémon of the leader trio faced by Ash at the Gym, with Ash choosing to use {{AP|Oshawott}}. Pansage was a formidable opponent, overwhelming and intimidating Oshawott with powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks and with skillful agility that dodged Oshawott's attacks. As a finisher, Pansage used {{m|SolarBeam}} on Oshawott, but Oshawott reflected it with its shell and the battle continued. The battle ended when Oshawott won against Pansage after defeating it with {{m|Razor Shell}}.

After the battle, Cilan remarks on Ash's skills and decides to travel with him and {{an|Iris}}. Since then, Cilan often uses Pansage for assisting himself and his friends.

==In manga==
[[File:Monta Panpour.png|thumb|right|[[Monta]]'s Panpour]]
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] appear in [[PMBW03]], each using their signature elemental monkey. When [[Isamu Akai]]'s {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, their monkeys attack in a group against Clefairy, but this backfires when Clefairy uses their combined powers to make green tea.

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
[[Monta]] has a Panpour and [[Cheren]] has a Pansage. They used them during a [[triple battle]] in [[PBW02]].

==In the TCG==
{{TCG|Pansage}}, {{TCG|Pansear}}, and {{TCG|Panpour}} along with their respective evolutions are recurring Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

==Trivia==
* The elemental monkeys are the only non-[[starter Pokémon]] able to possess the {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Blaze}}, and {{a|Torrent}} [[ability|abilities]].
* The stats of all three elemental monkeys are identical, as are the stats of their evolved forms.
** Their cries are also the same: the difference are the effects applied to them. The same is true to their evolved forms.
* {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}} and {{p|Panpour}} are the only Pokémon capable of learning all moves that involve the {{m|Acrobatics|use}} {{m|Fling|of}} {{m|Natural Gift|held}} {{m|Recycle|items}} by level-up.

== Welcome ==

Let me be the first to say welcome back [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokemon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 21:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

== A wild Maverick appeared! ==

Welcome back - though I'd put this here rather than forward the email you missed. Basically I was going to ask where you got all of the info regarding the new BW collection cards. From what I can gather all of the info is now on the Pokemon Card Game Network site, which requires you to be a member of the Daisuki club - and I cannot register. The concern I had is that I don't have a Japanese source as to get text and all that from, or did Umeko provide all of this for you? '''[[Surf (move)|~~]]''''''[[User:nuva-kal|nuva]]''''''-'''[[User_talk:nuva-kal|'''kal''']] 23:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:I was forcing myself to actually learn Japanese. I mostly compared the Japanese names of in game attacks with the cards. Anything that I could not either find and copy the text character for character, or copy/paste from one of the move/ability pages, I either had left the cards unfinished, or asked ume for them. There were only about five or six I did not do. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 17:49, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
::I've also hit a potential snag in the way some cards are named. I'm up to Castform on cards by Pokémon, which is where I've noticed it. The Pokémon with different forms have it detailed in smaller text, but this is actually part of the card name. The forms are referenced as the card's full name in several Poké-Powers and as to what they evolve from, as well as in official checklists, and the fact that you can play four of each of those with the form names. Not sure if you planned to rename these if/when you got up to them? - Though I would still like some input. For most instances this isn't a problem, but the Shellos and Gastrodon cards all have the form in their name, which will need a redirect with the way the cardlist header is set up.

:::Well, I had also come across this problem with {{TCG|Unown}}. The way I began to think of it, was that the different sections for these Pokémon were not so much names as they were the different forms. I organized all of the letters into each of the groups, even though the EX Unseen Forces cards were not labeled "Unown A" specifically. This way provided a lot more sense into the different sections, for instance how all the cards in the first "Unown" section were the ones from HS era featuring more than one at once. I feel like having the three forms of Castform from Legends Awakened into the specifically grouped sections would be best for it. As for Shellos and Gastrodon, we can discuss that more in depth when those two actually come up. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:35, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::::This raises another question though, is it best to have for example a section for Sunny Castform, and one for Castform Sunny Form? This is what I was originally alluding to - that I think the cards in question should have the full names in the card article titles as they are with Unown over the course of the DP expansions. Considering I'm going over these with a fine-tooth comb anyway, moving them wouldn't be much more hassle. '''[[Surf (move)|~~]]''''''[[User:nuva-kal|nuva]]''''''-'''[[User_talk:nuva-kal|'''kal''']] 20:50, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::Well, if renaming them is an option, I don't see why not. Though having both "Castform Sunny Form" and "Sunny Castform" is a bit weird and redundant in my opinion. Do what you think is best. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 21:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::Ugh, I've kind of convinced myself out of it, as the names don't look that good in the infoboxes and it does look daft with the breakdowns in the table. I've edited the Castform one to a standard I like, and I've even put a colour switch in there which looks nice!

::::::I tried to avoid color switches, just so that each type and color was featured at all times. The only other place I encountered this was {{TCG|Lugia}} where all I did was alternate Psychic color and Colorless color. I probably would have just alternated Water and Fire color as the secondary color for {{TCG|Castform}}.

== Welcome back! ==

Hi! I was so sad when I saw that you would leave forever,as TTEchidna and you were the ones who welcomed me here and supported my website. I do have a question, though, because I don't know how to do it. I finally created a page of Voltolos (White Collection 19) but the link to the secret Voltolos (White Collction 54) is still red. Could it be possible to create a redirect of this page : http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Voltolos_(White_Collection_54)&action=edit&redlink=1 (Secret Voltolos) to the original page : http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Voltolos_(White_Collection_19), just like it was done with Tornelos, Reshiram and Zekrom? That would help a lot, since I don't know how to do it. [[User:TokoyamiTheDark|TokoyamiTheDark]] 22:28, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
:Forget that, it is already done :) [[User:TokoyamiTheDark|TokoyamiTheDark]] 22:29, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I wanted to create a page to compare the Demographics of various places in the Pokémon world. Did I do anything wrong?
[[User:TheRevived|TheRevived]] 05:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Oops... I SAID THAT I WANTED TO CREATE A BASE PAGE AND OTHER PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE TO IT, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PAGE[[User:TheRevived|TheRevived]] 23:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
:It's been said before, and It'll be said again. If you are not going to put in the effort to make an article properly ''before'' you save it, creating the page, then don't do it in the mainspace. There's a reason mainspace pages are called "articles" not "names" - because they have something on them. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Reprints ==

Now, as I am sure you are glad to hear, all of the cards by Pokémon pages are complete I want to fill you in on something I plan on tackling next. While going through cards for the cards by Pokémon pages, I noticed a lot of inconsistencies as to how cards with reprints are shown. With cards that have only one reprint, the tendancy is to place the image of the reprint lower down the page with the primary release in the infobox. However, I have found this to be distracting in some cases, particularly with cards that have more text with regards to different versions, or where it masks bullet points in trivia sections. 
What I propose is that we use the gallery underneath the release info heading that shows all variations and have the reprints detailed in the infobox that cycle, as articles with many reprints already feature. I know you personally are not a fan of the gallery when it comes to these, but I'm trying to think in the context of a casual browser/user. If they see one version of the card as displayed in the infobox, they can scroll down and see all iterations, and refer to the descriptions above to see individual details - I just think it structures the article more nicely. I'm sort of in the process of doing this, as I want to add concise info for distribution in promo card articles, specifically how they were for both English and Japanese releases.

Ummm..... I know I've caused trouble in the past, but I'm trying to stop doing that. I suppose you might remember undoing a revision from me on Salot's TCG page. You say they're normally psychic-type stage 1s, but there are 3 grass swalots, and only 2 psychic swalots. So, technically, they are grass types most of the time. Like I said, not to cause any more trouble ;).

== APNG v GIF ==

Since I never plan on registering on the forums, I'm going to bring this up here.

What was with the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=97285 massive arguing over the APNG vs. GIF debate] in which you kept using the reasoning to "just use Firefox" over and over (amongst other reasons)? Telling people incessantly to change their browser is really not a good way to go forward when it comes to user-friendliness for a Wiki. I for one, definitely would not go back to that bloated, memory-hog of a browser when Chrome currently does it's job perfectly fine with better functionality (like TweetDeck as an extension). However, I am aware that APNG's are not currently supported, and may not be for quite a while too. Do you see me kicking up a storm about it? No, because I chose my browser, and I am dealing with it's functionality (or lack of it, in this case).

How about next time to debate comes up again, you use the other sides of the arguments such as the server load, templating issues and the rest; rather than banging on about people's choice of browser?

As someone who is supposedly a Bureaucrat, you're not setting a very good example IMO. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 16:24, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name -- which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智) -- with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Anime Ash.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. His [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] was {{pkmn2|caught}} by luck, he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, [[Lake guardians (anime)#Azelf|Azelf]], {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}} and {{an|Arceus}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]], and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before.

Ash is now currently in his venture to [[Unova]], bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn and planned to in [[Sinnoh]].

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

{{-}}
===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash Unova Team.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Party prior to [[BW018]].]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

While there are many similarities between the anime and manga versions of Ash, there are several differences as well. For example, while the anime version of Ash appears to be indifferent to love and romance, the manga version of Ash has a huge crush on Gary's sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]]. He is also prone to quickly falling in love just like Brock, but to a much more subtle or less extreme degree.

Ash's appearance differs in the manga as well. He wears a red jacket, much like {{ga|Red}}'s, instead of the blue he wears in the anime. Also, for the duration of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1|first volume]], he wears a different hat, which is solid red with a "PM" on the front. Beginning in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', his hat is changed to match the one he wears in the anime.

Ash owns many of the same Pokémon as in the anime, with a few exceptions: he captures a {{AP|Fearow}} and an {{p|Oddish}}. He also captures a {{p|Mankey}}, which he trades to a shady salesman for a map of [[Mt. Moon]], and a giant {{p|Slowpoke}}, which he trades to [[Gary Oak]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|right|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
* Ash typically catches similar teams in each region he travels through.
** Ash's teams often feature the starter Pokémon of each region. In the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]], [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Unova|Unova]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for all three regions.
** He has caught each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Snivy}}
** He also caught the three {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose English names begin with a 'C' and whose Japanese names begin with a ヒ ''hi'': {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} (''Hitokage''), {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} (''Hinoarashi''), and {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} (''Hikozaru'').
** He always catches each region's local bird-like Pokémon: {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}} in Kanto, {{AP|Noctowl}} in Johto, {{AP|Taillow|Swellow}} in Hoenn, {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}} in Sinnoh, and {{AP|Pidove}} in Unova. Thus far, Ash has evolved each species to its final form, except for {{AP|Pidove}}, which was only captured recently, and Noctowl, who was captured in its final form.
** Ash has two fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] ({{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Torterra}}) and two fully-evolved {{type2|Fire}} starter Pokémon ({{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Infernape}}). None of his {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon have evolved at all, or even indicated their desire to.
** He has caught, befriended, used, or otherwise had under his command at least one Pokémon of every type except for the {{t|Steel}} types.
** In addition, Ash always manages to catch at least one {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Flying}} by the [[Pokémon League]] of each region. {{AP|Pikachu}} also always accompanies Ash, and as a result he always has an {{type2|Electric}} as well.
* Ash has caught at least two starter Pokémon in each region except [[Hoenn]] where he only caught {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}.
* Ash has encountered every legendary Pokémon from the first four generations at least once.
* Ash has only caught Pokémon when he does not have a full party of six, except for when he caught {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}} and {{AP|Sewaddle}}.
* Ash has [[trade]]d away three Pokémon: {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Raticate}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. Of these three, Butterfree was the only one Ash got back, and also the only one that is not {{type2|Normal}}.
* Ash has several Pokémon in common with {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} rivals; [[Paul]] and {{an|Barry}}. He and Paul both own a {{p|Torterra}} and have owned a {{p|Gliscor}} as well as both training the same {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} at some point. Like Ash, Barry owns a {{p|Staraptor}} and a {{p|Heracross}}. Other rivals of Ash's have had alike Pokémon; {{Gary}} has also owned a {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Krabby}}, [[Ritchie]] has a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Taillow}}, [[Morrison]] has a {{p|Gligar}}; and [[Tyson]] has a {{p|Sceptile}} and {{p|Donphan}}. The latter two had them on their league teams before Ash would later obtain them himself. [[Trip]] had a [[Trip's Janovy|Snivy]] and {{jo|Jimmy}} has owned {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Beedrill}}.
* Ash has never caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. This excludes [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.

===Challenge/Gym related===
* In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
* In the [[original series]], Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in a case.
* Ash has battled six legendary Pokémon. He has defeated four of these.
* Ash has so far battled five [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei]], {{EF|Drake}}, [[Agatha]], {{EF|Flint}} and [[Bertha]]. He has lost to all five without defeating a single Pokémon of theirs.
* The largest number of episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] was the gap between the {{ci|Snowpoint}} and {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gyms, starting in ''[[DP127|Sliding into Seventh!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', where Ash finally won the Beacon Badge. The gap was a total of 52 episodes. The shortest amount of time between badges was the [[EP006|one-episode]] gap between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''.

===Miscellaneous===
[[File:Ash maid.png|100px|thumb|Ash crossdressing for the third time]]
[[File:Ash new eye style.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash's new eye style in Best Wishes]]
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* Lines similar to lightning bolts are found on Ash's cheeks, as well as in his hair. This may be a reference to Ash's starter Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, who also has electric cheeks.
* Ash has crossdressed three times. The first time he did this was in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', in the [[original series]]. He crossdressed a second time in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'', in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' marked the third time he crossdressed, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some way.
** In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an {{wp|eggplant}} in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
* Several of the variety of {{wp|ash tree}}s, from which his name could be derived, are related to Kanto in some way: not only are there trees known as the "red ash", "green ash", and "blue ash", for the first three games, but also the "indigo ash", for the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* [[Arnold]] and [[Travis]] are both [[doppelgänger]]s of Ash. His first meeting with both of [[Arnold's mother|their]] [[Luana|mothers]] was being mistaken for them and embraced in a hug as the boys were away from home at the time.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* In Ash's Unova design, his eye irises are larger to match most other people in the anime, like artwork of Red from Generation III. Excluding clothing, this is Ash's first physical change since his debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash is the only one in his [[Ash's friends|current traveling group]] not to have a bow-like article of [[List of clothing in the anime|clothing]]. Iris has a bow on her skirt and Cilan has a {{wp|bow tie}}.

Talk:Move variations/Archive 1

TheChrisD: /* Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? */ rp

== Template? ==

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggested it but it was forgotten later on; and unfortunately, I don't know how to make templates. -([[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 02:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
:Template namespace. I'll whip one up. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe this is not the right place to suggest, but take a look at the template (Flamethrower as an example):

== New Variation ==

There neeeds to be a Move Variation for the Following moves:
* {{m|Psybeam}}
* {{m|Bubblebeam}}
* {{m|Aurora Beam}}
* {{m|Sludge}}
* {{m|Spark}}
I have checked them all out and they each have:
* Power: 65
* Accuracy: 100%
* PP: 20
P.S. I don't know how to do this myself so really I'm asking for somebody to do this for me!
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be counted as they each have a different added effect, either a [[status ailment]] or a [[stat]] change. Somebody gie me their:view...[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe keep the status-changing ones together, and keep the stat-changing ones together, but keep them separate. That means {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Sludge}}, and {{m|Spark}} go together, and {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}} go together.
:And don't forget to use the {{template|m}} template for moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm not sure on how to create the move variation. I only realised they were similar... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Or" ==

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition. BTW, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunder}} don't belong in the tables they've been introduced in if following the original criterion. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I put those there. I'll have them removed. [[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 08:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

:LOL, now somebody else did the same with variations of Slash, Waterfall, and Shadow Ball :P --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seismic Toss and Night Shade? ==

Those belong on the list, right?
[[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Doesn't {{m|Night Shade}} do somewhere from 1 to 1.5x the level? I know {{m|Seismic Toss}} does the level. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
::No, Psywave does from 0.5 to 1.5x the level. But Night Shade always does damage equal to the level. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 23:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Still, they don't have the same amout of default total PPs. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::They're stretching it nowadays though. Hmm...{{m|Zap Cannon}} and {{m|Dynamicpunch}}... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'm sure {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Cross Chop}} are variations. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Definitely ^_^ --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==Stub?==
Is it Still a stub?--[[User:Torchic-ken|Torchic-ken]] 2:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, there's a few missing bits. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 00:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue. Should I add it anyway? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] 01:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:Add only Mean Look and Block. That's what has been done in these cases to agree with the current definition of "move archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 08:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Counter and Mirror Coat? ==

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power". [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 21:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:That works. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

== Softboiled and Milk Drink ==

Even though they're listed under variations of Recover.. they both can do something Recover can not -- heal other Pokémon's HP outside of battle. I think this deserves a mention. :P [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 18:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Contests? ==

I think it would be incredibly useful to have a version of this page for contests, since many of the moves do the exact same things.
Thoughts...? [[User:Maki|Maki]] 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. However it'd have to be set up differently. It'd be like... effect, cute moves, beauty moves, smart moves, tough moves, cool moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Blizzard ==

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition. Magma Storm seems most like Outrage, though that goes 2-3 turns, and Focus Blast is just... its own thing. Not ''every'' move has a counterpart, that's what people need to remember. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 20:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's what I mean, a lot of the moves I mentioned, as well as Hydro Pump, Seed Flare and Fire Blast are all ''similar'', but variations of each other? I'd say they're similar moves, but not direct variations. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power. Focus Blast and Blizzard are not because all they share is accuracy and power. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::::So, should we move some of the moves I mentioned around? That's what I've been suggesting. I think Magma Storm should be grouped with Outrage and Thrash, and Blizzard, Thunder and Gunk Shot should be in a group.

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation.

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?" I think the process was more like, "Hey, why not have this as a mechanic?" --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations. In my mind, examples of move variations are moves that have some unique game mechanic, such as {{m|Wrap|multi-turn}} {{m|Magma Storm|trapping}} {{m|Sand Tomb|moves}}, {{m|Fly|moves with}} {{m|Dig|an initial}} {{m|Shadow Force|invulnerable}} {{m|Dive|turn}}, {{m|Block|moves that}} {{m|Spider Web|prevent}} {{m|Mean Look|escape}}, or {{m|Protect|moves that can negate}} {{m|Detect|all negative effects}}—Moves that work so similarly that there are, for example, abilities that negate the set of them or moves that counter-act a set of them. These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.
::(As for the category thing, I don't know for sure, but the tons of categories issue might be the reason they didn't want even more categories for each detail.) — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 02:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.gif]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.gif]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.gif]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user. That makes them variations according to your definition, but they have nothing in common according to the definition already defined on this page.

:::::Moves can't be in more than one category, which is why Leaf Blade is with Attack Order, since they match exactly except for type. And you're still missing what I've been saying. If they have different accuracies, they don't match. Focus Blast has 70%, and Seed Flare has 85%. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 21:29, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I am paying attention to what you're saying. Now pay attention to what I'm saying. Focus Blast does not cause a status ailment as the other variations do, and Seed Flare doesn't either. Zap Cannon and Focus Blast have different powers. So why are they listed? And again, ''Leaf Blade can count as a variation of both Slash and Attack Order'', so why do we count one over the other? Why are some exceptions made and not others? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 21:34, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
:No, I don't think you are. Focus Blast has a ''secondary effect'' like the others do, it's not limited to status or stat changes. As for Zap Cannon and Focus Blast, I just realized that yeah, it shouldn't be there. I'll change that too. If we put Leaf Blade in the Slash variations, then there wouldn't be one for Attack Order. And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash. The only ones that I can find that have different powers as of Gen IV are the Petal Dance variations. I'll see what I can do about that too.

== Counter Moves ==

Hey, i'm a fan of the counter moves and i've noticed something, why isn't Metal Burst counted as a variation? I've used Mirror Coat and Counter with Glaceon and Hitmonchan respectively and Metal Burst does the effects of '''both''' Mirror Coat and Counter. [[User:Geomexis|Geomexis]] 12:51, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
:Because they aren't very close. If the effect has something different (such as Metal Burst has both, while Mirror Coat and Counter only have one), it isn't a variation.

== Kisses ==

{{m|Lovely Kiss}} and {{m|Sweet Kiss}}

Same accuracy, same PP. First cause sleep, second - confusion. Aren't move variations? --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 15:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

== Tackle and Peck together? ==

{{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Peck}}

The two moves are in a grouping together, but I believe they should not be. They share the Base Power of 35, but while Tackle is 95% accurate, and it mistakenly says Peck to be, Peck is 100% accurate. -- [[User:Mattman324]] 22:58:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Peck and Tackle aren't variations. Especially in generation V, where Tackle received a BP of 50. Myself, I would put Peck with Vine Whip, because they both have 35 BP, 100% accuracy and no special effect. Their PP, however, differs significantly, but does that really matter? (see below) --[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

== Signal Beam ==

I know it seems weird, but {{m|Signal Beam}} is kinda of a variation of the elemental punches... 75 power, 100 acc, 15 PP and 10% of causing status. It breaks the "tradition", so to speak, but it fits more than many of the other variations here. [[User:Mr. Charlie|'''Mr. Charlie''']]([[User_Talk:Mr. Charlie|''TalkToMe'']]) 23:38, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

==This page needs COLOR!==
Seriously, it looks really dull, which is especially bad seeing as it's pretty much all tables. One of the coding wizards here should try to make a template that incorporates colors for the type of each variation and whether they are physical, special, or a status move. For status moves, color them differently based on which stat they change or status effect they inflict—whatever it takes to make this dull-looking article into an attractive resource. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 16:46, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
:I was just thinking of that myself, then I thought something like this would be perfect. But, you know, with colors for generations and stuff. I'm not a coding guy, I just throw the ideas.

== PP ==

In the article it says that moves need to have the same PP to be variations, but throughout the article it lists moves of differing PP as variations. Should they be removed? [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 17:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

== Definition ==

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other. So I'm thinking maybe the article needs a different definition for status moves? [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 17:33, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels. It makes more sense because that way moves like Iron Defense will be a variant of Acid Armor, instead of the current description which makes Baton Pass a variant of Acid Armor.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
:I know that we don't want the article to contradict itself in this regard, but I think that these three moves are so similar that this could be the exception to the rule. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:23, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
::Outrage should be included. Reason: see below.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

== PP shouldn't be taken into account ==

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still. My point is, PP shouldn't be taken into account. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

::::OK, so if the majority think that PP shouldn't count, we can put it back how it was. I changed it because it seemed that people wanted PP to count.

== Shadow Ball/Crunch as variations of Waterfall ==

I added them to variations of waterfall and changed the definition of waterfall so that they both fit. But since all previous variations caused flinching, and the two I added lower defense /sp. def should they be considered two different moveset variations? Also, the templates under shadow ball and crunch I left as they are because I have no idea how to do it, or if even they are in fact variations of waterfall. Thanks...

== Extreme Speed and Sucker Punch ==
{{m|Extremespeed}} now has +2 priority instead of +1. So, isn't it not a variation of {{m|Sucker Punch}} anymore? Also Sucker Punch work in different way, so this moves seems even less likely to be variations. --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 09:39, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Discharge is like surf, affecting all opponents. Also a poison move.

Also Poison Fang should be with the fangs.[[User:Tesseract|Tesseract]] 08:53, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== Order of Oath Moves Doesn't Matter ==

Hasn't it been confirmed that the Oath moves can be used in any order to produce the same effect? Each individual page should be updated accordingly. (I figured I'd say this here instead of repeating myself on each individual page. This page (Move Variations) seems correct, but the individual pages are not.) [[User:Grei|Grei]] 18:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

== Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? ==

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドテッコツ''' ''Dotekkotsu'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It evolves from {{p|Timburr}} starting at level 25, and evolves into {{p|Roobushin}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dotekkotsu is a bipedal, mainly gray Pokémon. It has a large, round dark-violet nose, and bulbous features, resembling curls of "hair", on its head. Violet bulges pattern its muscular, larger arms, thighs, and chest, which form an hourglass shape, and similar thick violet bands adorn its shoulders. It is known to usually carry an {{wp|I-beam}} {{wp|girder}} in its arms.

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

===Special abilities===
It is so strong that it won't even be moved if it is attacked by a group of professional wrestlers.

===Behavior===
It trains its muscles by carrying a steel frame. It boasts about said muscles with its comrades.

==Synopsis==

Now that the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] is over, {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} are on a ship back to [[Twinleaf Town]]. Brock is seen brooding about something on the deck when he is interrupted by Ash and Dawn. Ash then notes that after landing, the group will have to separate. While Dawn returns to Twinleaf Town, Ash and Brock will be heading for a ship that will take them to the [[Kanto]] region. Once in Kanto, Ash will head home to [[Pallet Town]] while Brock will journey to [[Pewter City]] to visit his siblings. The group is a little sad that they have to part ways so soon so Dawn invites them over to her house and the others agree.

Their planning is interrupted when a {{p|Pichu}} climbs onto the deck, followed by a {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, and {{p|Wynaut}}. [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] greet them but they are once more interrupted by a girl who joins them on deck. She scolds the [[baby Pokémon]], telling them not to run off so easily in case they fall into the ocean. However, she accidentally slips but is caught by Brock. Brock tells her to be careful because the deck can be wet at times while the baby Pokémon laugh, much to the girl's embarrassment. When asked if all these Pokémon belonged to her, the girl reveals that she is an apprentice working at a [[Pokémon Day Care]] center and that these Pokémon are under her care. She introduces herself as [[Normajean]]. While Ash compliments on how cute the Pokémon are, Normajean complains that they hardly ever listen to her. Brock then tells her that she needs to have patience and that, after a while, the Pokémon will begin to listen to her. For a brief moment, Normajean seems to worship Brock because he sounds so much like other elders at the Pokémon Day Care. Dawn reveals that Brock wants to become a famous [[Pokémon Breeder]] and then the group introduces themselves to Normajean.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] are following the ship underwater in their {{p|Magikarp}} submarine when their metal detector suddenly goes off. They follow the signal to a group of {{p|Tentacruel}} and, there in the middle of the group, is a shiny object. The team immediately gets excited as they come up with ideas as to what the treasure might be: gold, silver, ruby, sapphire, diamond, pearl, or platinum. They then use the submarine to chase off the Tentacruel and pick up the treasure. However, they find the shiny object to be a rare bottle cap. While [[James]] is excited about this rare find, neither [[Jessie]] nor {{MTR}} are hardly excited. They are just about to leave the premises when the Tentacruel come back, angry at both being attacked and having their bottle cap stolen, and begin attacking the submarine with their {{m|Poison Sting}}. Team Rocket attacks back and run off before the Tentacruel can do any more damage to their submarine. However, they were too concentrated on escaping that they fail to notice what's ahead of them and end up crashing into the ship Ash and his friends are on. This causes an explosion that rocks the ship. Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} then go out onto the deck to investigate, leaving Normajean and the baby Pokémon inside the cabin.

It is revealed that Team Rocket had survived the crash and are now hanging onto the sides of the boat. Just when they have climbed onto the deck do they notice that the angry Tentacruel have followed them. They start running only to bump into Ash and his friends. Dawn accuses Team Rocket to have caused the accident, to which they embarrassingly agree. They don't have much time to argue with one another as the Tentacruel suddenly jump onto the ship and begin attacking with Poison Sting. Ash tells Pikachu to knock back the stings with {{m|Iron Tail}}. The attack seems to be successful at first until Pikachu suddenly collapses, having been [[Poison (status ailment)|poisoned]]. Team Rocket then run off into the cabin while the Tentacruel chase after them. Ash is worried about Pikachu but Brock tells him that Pikachu will be fine. He then tells Ash and Dawn to follow the Tentacruel as he is worried that the Tentacruel will hurt Normajean and the others. While Ash and Dawn follow the Tentacruel, Brock feeds Pikachu a [[Pecha Berry]] to cure him of poison.

Meanwhile, the Tentacruel begin to attack the other passengers with their Poison Sting. They almost hit Normajean but the baby Pokémon leap up to defend. However, they are hit with the Poison Sting and are thus poisoned. Only Pichu still remains standing. It leaps up to attack the Tentacruel once more to seek revenge for its fallen friends but is hit with a powerful {{m|Poison Jab}} that causes it to be poisoned too.

It is then revealed that the Tentacruel have Team Rocket cornered. Ash and Dawn arrive, soon followed by Brock. Brock notices that the crystal spheres on the Tentacruel are glowing a bright red and realize that they are angry. He demands Team Rocket to tell him what they did to cause the Tentacruel to become so angry. James pulls out his rare bottle cap in reply, only to drop it. The bottle cap rolls away and Brock picks it up. The Tentacruel then immediately turn to face him in anger. Understanding that the Tentacruel wants the bottle cap back, Brock runs off and tells the Tentacruel to follow him. James is sad at having lost his bottle cap but Jessie consoles him in a weird way by saying that it's more important that the Tentacruel are gone. On the deck, Brock throws the bottle cap into the ocean and the Tentacruel follow after their prize. Normajean then runs onto the deck, desperately telling Brock that the Pokémon have all been poisoned and needs his help.

Inside the cabin, the baby Pokémon are all laid out on the benches under blankets. It is clear that they are all suffering terribly from the effects of the poison. Brock examines them with a stethoscope and declares that, out of all the Pokémon, Pichu is the one that's suffering the worst. Normajean explains that Pichu had been hit with Tentacruel's Poison Jab. Dawn begs Brock to save all the Pokémon. Brock wants to help but say that he can't do anything because he has run out of Pecha Berries. Just then, the captain of the ship runs over and asks what happened. Brock asks the captain if the ship may have some Pecha Berries in its storage room, to which the captain replies that there are a few crates of berries. Whether or not they contain Pecha Berries he does not know, so he takes Ash and his friends to the storage room. Normajean is left to care for the Pokémon.

Inside the storage room, the group finds dozens of crates stacked and the captain leaves them to do the searching while he goes to contact [[Nurse Joy]] to send a rescue team. Brock sends out [[Brock's Happiny|his Happiny]] to help with the search. Ash comes up with a [[Kelpsy Berry]] while Dawn finds a [[Durin Berry]]. However, none of them can be used to cure the poison. While Happiny is busy moving crates, it finds a door leading to another storage room. The group enters the second room, only to find Team Rocket busying chowing down on Pecha Berries. Brock gets angry and tells them they need the Pecha Berries to help cure the baby Pokémon. Team Rocket is hardly concerned and James tells them that they can use Pikachu to trade for the last Pecha Berry. Angered, Happiny uses {{m|Pound}} to send Team Rocket blasting off. The group gets the last Pecha Berry, but one isn't enough to cure all the Pokémon. They then begin asking the other passengers to see if they have any Pecha Berries. The search doesn't prove to be too fruitful as Ash and Dawn only manage to get one Pecha Berry each while Brock has found [[Heal Powder]]. However, this still isn't enough. Brock looks like he's about to give up when an old lady interrupts them and gives Brock a [[Lava Cookie]].

Brock then sets to work cutting up the Pecha Berry and grounding the Lava Cookie into powder. He blends the ingredients together and feeds them to the Pokémon. Pichu, however, refuses to eat so Brock switches to a baby bottle. Several moments later, Brock feels Igglybuff's forehead to notice that its fever has died down. However, Pichu's fever still hasn't died down. Normajean asks for Brock to help but Brock sadly replies that he doesn't know how. The captain runs in to inform them that connection with Nurse Joy has been made and Brock asks to speak with her. Through the video phone, Nurse Joy reveals that it'll take another two hours before their rescue boat can land. In the meantime, she entrusts Brock to do whatever he can to help the Pokémon till she can get there. Her speech encourages Brock and he promises her to do whatever he can.

Dawn orders Piplup to use {{m|Whirlpool}} while [[Dawn's Buneary|Buneary]] uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the Whirlpool. Happiny then uses Pound to shatter the frozen Whirlpool into chunks of ice. The ice is then put into plastic bags and placed on the baby Pokémon's foreheads in an attempt to cool down their fevers. Brock notices that Pichu is having trouble breathing and asks Ash to increase the humidity in the air. Ash uses [[Ash's Buizel|Buizel]]'s {{m|Water Gun}} and [[Ash's Infernape|Infernape]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}} to create steam when the two attacks collide. Pichu's breathing has eased but its fever has not lessened at at all; instead the fever seems to be getting worse. Brock asks Pikachu to share some of his electricity with Pichu.

Brock then tries to think of other ways to help and remembers that the storage room had Durin Berries. He mixes Durin Berry with [[Oran Berry]] to create an energy drink. After the drink has been made and placed in the baby bottle, Happiny tells Brock that it wants to feed Pichu. However, Pichu refuses to be fed, even after multiple attempts at begging by the others. This causes Happiny to become really sad and it then evolves into {{p|Chansey}}. Dawn scans [[Brock's Chansey|Chansey]] with her [[Pokédex]] and Brock uses the Pokédex to find that his Chansey has learned {{m|Softboiled}}. He then tells Chansey to use Softboiled. The move completely heals Pichu and Brock looks not only relieved that Pichu has been cured but also very proud of his new Chansey.

Nurse Joy has finally arrived as Pichu runs to join the other cured Pokémon. Brock thanks Nurse Joy but Nurse Joy replies that Brock is the one who should be thanked. Normajean too thanks him and Pichu jumps into his arms to express its gratitude by rubbing against his cheek. The other Pokémon also join Brock to say their thanks. Nurse Joy notes that Brock has the potential to become an excellent Pokémon doctor. Dawn comments that Brock will be able to stay with Nurse Joy forever if that happens and Brock immediately likes the idea. He holds Nurse Joy's hand as he thinks about the possible future of being with Nurse Joy. As always, [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]] is there to ruin the dream as it uses Poison Jab on him. Dawn says that while Brock may have his weird moments, it is obvious that Brock cares very much about Pokémon.

Team Rocket is then shown to be stranded in the middle of the ocean on a makeshift wooden raft. Meowth is [[fishing]] with an [[Old Rod]] when the line suddenly begins to jerk and he pulls up a Tentacruel. The crystal spheres glow red once more as the Tentacruel becomes angry and Team Rocket runs away as it desperately treads water whilst leaving their raft and rod behind.

Back on the ship, it is now nearing evening and Brock is once more brooding on the deck as he thinks about the possible future of being a Pokémon doctor. Ash and Dawn interrupt him once more as they thank him for the day's happenings and compliment his skills while Brock replies that he still has a lot to learn. They then see the dock to Twinleaf Town and Dawn sees [[Johanna|her mother]] waiting for them.

'''Hurricane''' (Japanese: '''ぼうふう''' ''Windstorm'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Hurricane deals damage and has a 30% chance of {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the target. It can't confuse a target that has a {{m|Substitute}}. Hurricane can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[triple battle]]s.

Hurricane cannot miss when used during heavy rain, but has an accuracy of 50% during intense sunlight. Hurricane can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turns of moves such as {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, and {{m|Sky Drop}}.

==Trivia==
*Both Hurricane and Thunder never miss during heavy rain. This may be a relation to a {{wp|thunderstorm.}}
*Erfuun and Ulgamoth are the only non-flying types to learn this move, thus making them the only Pokémon to not receive STAB from it.

'''Outrage''' (Japanese: '''げきりん''' ''Imperial Rage'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Outrage inflicts damage for 2-3 turns. While the user is using Outrage, it cannot use any other attacks and the trainer cannot recall the user. PP is deducted only on the turn Outrage is called; it will not be deducted for the amount of turns Outrage is used before it is finished. After Outrage is finished, the user becomes confused. The battle screen will not show a message box saying that the user became confused.

Outrage has a base power of 90 (like {{m|Thrash}}) in this generation.

===[[Generation III]]===
The effects of Outrage are the same as the previous generation, however, the battle screen ''will'' show a message box saying that the user became confused.

===[[Generation IV]]===
The effects of Outrage are the same as the previous generation; however, the base power has been increased to 120 and is now a physical move.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
The user will attack randomly one tile ratio away, the user will then become confused after pulling off the move.

'''Fire Spin''' (Japanese: '''ほのおのうず''' ''Flame Swirl'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. The move {{m|Magma Storm}} is considered to be a more powerful variation of this move.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fire Spin has a power of 15 and an accuracy of 70. Fire Spin inflicts damage and traps the target for 2-5 turns, damaging the target at the end of each turn. There is a 37.5% chance that it will attack for 2 turns, a 37.5% chance that it will attack for 3 turns, a 12.5% chance that it will attack for 4 turns, and a 12.5% chance that it will attack for 5 turns. Although only the first hit can be a [[critical hit]], each consecutive turn will deal the same amount of damage. Whilst the target is trapped, it will be unable to attack, and if the user of Fire Spin strikes before the target, when used, the target will also be unable to attack during the same turn.

Damage done by Fire Spin's continuing duration is done after recurrent damage. If the user switches out before the turn duration ends, the target will be unable to attack during that turn. If the target switches out before the turn duration ends, Fire Spin will automatically be used against the incoming Pokémon, deducting an additional PP from the move. If at such a time Fire Spin has 0 PP, Fire Spin will still be used against the incoming Pokémon. After that use, the current PP of Fire Spin will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

Even if Fire Spin misses, it will negate the recharge turn normally required for Hyper Beam. Additionally, if the user of Fire Spin attacks before the user of Hyper Beam during a recharge turn and the use of Fire Spin misses, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterwards its current PP will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

The target will be able to select a move during each turn of Fire Spin's duration, and will hit an incoming Pokémon with the selected move if the user switches out before the duration is over.

In Stadium, a move can be selected during each turn of Fire Spin's duration. If the target switches out before the duration ends, the incoming Pokémon will not automatically be attacked. Fire Spin will negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam only if successful.

===Generation II===
The target is now able to attack during Fire Spin's duration, and can act normally. Instead, it inflicts 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. It also traps the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed.

===Generation III===
The effects of Fire Spin are the same as in Generation II, but if a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Fire Spin on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a [[Smoke Ball]]. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, if the user of Fire Spin is holding a [[Grip Claw]], the duration of Fire Spin will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a [[Shed Shell]], it can switch out.

===Generation V===
Fire Spin's power and accuracy were raised to 35 and 85, and now lasts for four to five turns.

==Hair==
Uh-oh. Another hair discussion. But really, I couldn't help but notice that Yanakkie, Baokkie, and Hiyakkie's "hair styles" look similar to Dent, Pod, and Corn's, respectively. I know we had a problem with this with Team Galactic, but I think this is a different story. Dent, Pod, and Corn actually use the pre-evolved forms of these Pokémon.

[[File:Spr b g5 512.png]]
[[File:Dent eyes.png|120px]]

Example. Yanakkie has a tuft of "hair" in the front and the back, just like Dent does. Pod has wavy flame-like hair similar to Baokkie and Corn has parted hair like Hiyakkie.

I realize that this is technically an opinion, but I wouldn't bring it up if I wasn't sure that Dent, Pod, and Corn's designs were somewhat inspired by the elemental monkeys. It's kinda similar to [[Baron Alberto]]. Anyone else agree with this? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:42, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

(Japanese: '''ベル''' ''Bel'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the games==
Bel is a childhood friend of the {{player}}. Though she is somewhat unreliable and a bit of an airhead, she also has a strong side, as shown when she embarks on a [[Pokémon journey]] despite her father's strong opposition.

Like the player and [[Cheren]], Bel receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Araragi]] at the start of the game; she chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle her several times throughout the game.

==Trivia==
*Bel, [[Cheren]], and [[N]] are the only Trainers in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black and White]] with animated battle sprites.
*When Black and White were first released Bel was widely misreported to be the [[Champion]] of the {{un|Pokémon League}} the first time the {{player}} challenges it.
*If the player does not choose {{p|Tepig}} as their starter, Bel is the only rival who uses more than one {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon on her team, using {{p|Enbuoh}} and {{p|Shandera}} if {{p|Oshawott}} was chosen and {{p|Baokkie}} and Shandera if {{p|Snivy}} was chosen.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Cheren makes an appearance as one of the [[Pokédex holder]]s of the [[Unova]] region, and presumably one of the rivals of {{adv|Black}}. Unlike in the games, however, his starter is actually ''weak'' to that of the protagonist.

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
Cheren is friends with both [[Monta]] and Bel, he is very knowledgable about Pokémon, which Monta dislikes. Anywhere Monta slips up he won't hesitate to tell him the right way. He first appears with Bel when Monta is attempting to capture a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Minezumi}} and {{p|Miruhoggu}}. Monta is just about to capture the Miruhoggu which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two pokemon come out at the same time, you have to knock out the one you don't want first before you can get the one that you do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insult them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a double battle with Monta's {{p|Snivy}} against a Bike Gang King's {{p|Wargle}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Wargle. Cheren battles Monta in [[PBW02]] using his Tepig, {{p|Yanappu}} and {{p|Basurao}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Hiyappu}} and {{p|Dangoro}}. He starts off with a lecture about triple battles. With his great knowledge of triple battles he gives Monta a hard time, but is eventually defeated.

Freeze (status condition)

2010-11-26T05:03:28Z

TheChrisD: /* Prevention and curing */ Ignoring the fact it's a blatant copy/paste from Burn, a frozen Pokémon can't really use a move to heal itself as it can't actually move, y'know?

{{redirect|Freeze|the glitch|game freeze}}
[[Image:Frozen Pokémon.png|right|thumb|{{AP|Pikachu}} is frozen|250px]]
The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is one of the most powerful status ailments, but is also one of the rarest, with very few ways of causing it and relatively many ways to cure it. It is evidently associated with the {{type2|Ice}}, as the majority of moves that can freeze are of this type, and {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon are immune to being frozen. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

==Effect==
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary among Generations.

===Generation I===
Once frozen, a Pokémon can't be thawed out except for the use of external items such as an [[Ice Heal]].

===Generation II onwards===
A frozen Pokémon has a 20% chance of being thawed out every turn. In addition, several moves can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process), and Pokémon can't be frozen in intense sunlight (though they don't necessarily thaw out faster if already frozen, contrary to popular belief).

In addition, a frozen [[Sky Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its [[Land Forme]].

==Causes==
Unlike other major status ailments, there is nothing that can cause freezing except for several moves, and even then those freeze rarely, with no move having freezing the opponent as a primary effect. This is likely due to the aforementioned rarity imposed due to freeze being a powerful effect. The following are the moves that can freeze their targets.

|}
|}

==Prevention and curing==
Being frozen can be cured with the use of an [[Ice Heal]] or an [[Aspear Berry]] ([[Burnt Berry]] in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items [[Full Heal]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Full Restore]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Heal Powder]], [[Lum Berry]], [[Hiun Ice]], and [[Sacred Ash]]. {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} also removes it from all Pokémon in the party. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} ability will be cured whilst it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn.

Damaging {{type2|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in [[weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunny weather]]; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Boiling Water}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} ability are completely immune to being frozen.

What happens when he roosts? [[User:PikaNinja7|PikaNinja7]] 16:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:From what I've heard, he becomes Normal-type. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 21:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
::Except he can't learn Roost. More than likely this was made since because the {{type|???}} was removed in Gen V, and previously when a pure Flying-type Pokemon used Roost, it became ???. Maybe it would need to be tested though, hacking Roost onto a Sky Plate Arceus, or onto Tornelos - and then noting the result. That is if the game doesn't crash.

Steel (type)

Some notable trainers that specialize in the Steel type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], former champion of the [[Elite Four]] of [[Hoenn]], and [[Byron]], [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]].

The Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Steel type, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} were retconned to be dual Electric/Steel Pokémon.

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

Offensively, it is not recommended to use Steel-type moves, because there are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}, both of which are rarely used defensively. There are only five pure Steel-type Pokémon and thus most have a second type able to provide more effective moves that could offset this disadvantage. Steel-type Pokémon have average Attack and Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in either the Physical field, such as {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Doryuuzu}}, and the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.
When used in contests, Steel-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 38 Pokémon with the Steel type, making it the fourteenth most common type.

==Trivia==
* Although the Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]], pure Steel-type Pokémon were not introduced until [[Generation III]].
* Out of all the types, Steel has the most resistances and the highest average {{stat|Defense}}.
* There were no 100% accurate Steel-type attacks until [[Generation IV]].
* Up until {{game|Platinum}}, {{p|Weedle}} was completely unable to damage Steel-type Pokémon because the only damaging move it could learn was {{m|Poison Sting}}, and Steel-types are immune to {{type2|Poison}} moves. From Platinum onwards, Weedle is able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} via level-up, allowing it to do at least some damage (though {{t|Bug}} is still not very effective on most Steel-type Pokémon).
* Because of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}'s addition of their secondary Steel type in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Steel-type Pokémon introduced in each generation.
** Despite this, there are not Steel-type moves from each generation; Steel is the only type not assigned to a move introduced in Generation I.
* Though Steel-type moves deal super-effective damage against both {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, there has not yet been a Pokémon of that type combination, and therefore, Steel-type moves cannot currently deal 4× damage.
* All Steel-type moves consist of two words.
* All offensive Steel-type moves target one foe.
* Steel is the only type that has a non-neutral type matchup with all seventeen types, considering both offense and defense.
* Each of the 3 starter types have a different effectiveness when attacking a Steel type Pokémon. Grass does 1/2× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Steel-types of any [[generation]], with 12.
* Every [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in Steel-type has used {{p|Steelix}} as part of their teams.
** Also, when Platinum added the Magnemite family to the [[Sinnoh Dex]], it or its evolved forms were present in every Steel-type Gym Leader's team.

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Giima]] of the [[Isshu]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

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

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

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

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], all three special Dark-type moves ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Bark Out}} and {{m|Night Burst}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s.

When used in contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 39 Pokémon of the currently known 649 species with the Dark-type, making it tied with Electric as the twelfth most common type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 95, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, Judgment becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all five generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 95% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon, introducing 16 of the 39.

Elemental monkeys

2010-11-21T04:04:33Z

TheChrisD: ''various'', you silly person, you.

'''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Yanappu}}, {{p|Baoppu}}, {{p|Hiyappu}}, and their respective evolutions {{p|Yanakkie}}, {{p|Baokkie}}, and {{p|Hiyakkie}}. The name is derived from the fact all of the Pokémon are based on monkeys with a different elemental type ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectfully) and are closely related in terms of [[stats]], [[moves]], and appearance. This term should not be confused with other Pokémon based on monkeys like {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Mankey}} etc.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dent and Yanappu.png|240px|thumb|left|Dent and Yanappu]]
Yanappu, Baoppu, and Hiyappu made their debut in [[BW005]] under the ownership of Gym Leaders {{an|Dent}}, [[Pod]], and [[Corn]] respectively. Pod and his Baoppu were the first that fought against {{Ash}}, it knew {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}, and {{m|Dig}} and was fairly skilled at using these moves. Despite this, it got swung around by its tail and lost to [[Ash's Pokabu]]. The next fight was Corn's Hiyappu vs. [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Hiyappu was at a clear disadvantage due to its typing but still won the battle thanks to the effects of {{m|Mud Sport}}. It knew {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Scratch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and Mud Sport.

===Dent's Yanappu===
{{Main|Dent's Yanappu}}

Dent's Yanappu vs. [[Ash's Mijumaru]] was the last match faced in the gym. Yanappu was a formidable opponent, overwhelming and intimidating Mijumaru with powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks with skillful agility that dodged Mijumaru's attacks. As a finisher, Yanappu used {{m|Solar Beam}} on Mijumaru, but Mijumaru reflected it with its shell and the battle continued. The battle ended when Mijumaru won against Yanappu after defeating it with {{m|Shell Blade}}.

After the battle, Dent remarks Ash's skills and decides to travel with him and {{an|Iris}}. Since then, Dent often uses Yanappu for assisting himself and his friends.

==In manga==
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In {{ma|Pocket Monsters BW}}, [[Dent]], [[Pod]] and [[Corn]] appear in [[PMBW03]], each using their signature elemental monkey. When [[Isamu Akai]]'s {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, their monkeys attack in a group against Clefairy, but this backfires when Clefairy uses their combined powers to make green tea.

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
[[Monta]] has a Hiyappu and [[Cheren]] has a Yanappu. They used them during a [[triple battle]] in [[PBW02]].

==In the TCG==
{{TCG|Yanappu}}, {{TCG|Baoppu}}, and {{TCG|Hiyappu}} are recurring Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. Yanakkie, Baokkie, and Hiyakkie have yet to officially appear on a card.

==Trivia==
* The elemental monkeys are the only non-[[starter Pokémon]] able to possess the {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Blaze}}, and {{a|Torrent}} [[ability|abilities]].
* The elemental monkeys all have the exact same Stats and so do their evolutions.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dent and Yanappu.png|240px|thumb|left|Dent and Yanappu]]
Yanappu, Baoppu, and Hiyappu made their debut in [[BW005]] under the ownership of Gym Leaders {{an|Dent}}, [[Pod]], and [[Corn]] respectively. Pod and his Baoppu were the first that fought against {{Ash}}, it knew {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}, and {{m|Dig}} and was fairly skilled at using these moves. Despite this, it got swung around by its tail and lost to [[Ash's Pokabu]]. The next fight was Corn's Hiyappu vs. [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Hiyappu was at a clear disadvantage due to its typing but still won the battle thanks to the effects of {{m|Mud Sport}}. It knew {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Scratch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and Mud Sport.

===Dent's Yanappu===
{{Main|Dent's Yanappu}}

Dent's Yanappu vs. [[Ash's Mijumaru]] was the last match faced in the gym. Yanappu was a formidable opponent, overwhelming and intimidating Mijumaru with powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks with skillful agility that dodged Mijumaru's attacks. As a finisher, Yanappu used {{m|Solar Beam}} on Mijumaru, but Mijumaru reflected it with its shell and the battle continued. The battle ended when Mijumaru won against Yanappu after defeating it with {{m|Shell Blade}}.

After the battle, Dent remarks Ash's skills and decides to travel with him and {{an|Iris}}. Since then, Dent often uses Yanappu for assisting himself and his friends.

==In manga==
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
In {{ma|Pocket Monsters BW}}, [[Dent]], [[Pod]] and [[Corn]] appear in [[PMBW03]], each using their signature elemental monkey. When [[Isamu Akai]]'s {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, their monkeys attack in a group against Clefairy, but this backfires when Clefairy uses their combined powers to make green tea.

===In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga===
[[Monta]] has a Hiyappu and [[Cheren]] has a Yanappu. They used them during a [[triple battle]] in [[PBW02]].

==In the TCG==
{{TCG|Yanappu}}, {{TCG|Baoppu}}, and {{TCG|Hiyappu}} are recurring Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. Yanakkie, Baokkie, and Hiyakkie have yet to officially appear on a card.

==Trivia==
* The elemental monkeys are the only non-[[starter Pokémon]] able to possess the {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Blaze}}, and {{a|Torrent}} [[ability|abilities]].
* The elemental monkeys all have the exact same Stats and so do their evolutions.

==Damage calculation for Trickery?==
This is probably best put to spading, but how exactly does Trickery calculate damage utilising the opponent's Attack, especially given how the move has a base power of 95 assigned to it?
