'''Volkner''' (Japanese: '''デンジ''' ''Denzi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. He hands out the {{badge|Beacon}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Volkner uses {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Beacon Badge]], {{TM|57|Charge Beam}} and will be able to use {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle. Volkner is friends with {{EF|Flint}}, and has become dejected and depressed because no worthy challengers have come to Sunyshore in a while. He has been considering challenging the [[Elite Four]] and spends all his time renovating the Gym's electrical equipment, which puts a strain on Sunyshore's power supply and causes a blackout. Apparently, Volkner built the Gym's electrical gear traps completely out of boredom. When the {{player}} arrives in Sunyshore, Flint introduces them to Volkner, who agrees to hold off on challenging the Elite Four until after he battles the new challenger.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Volkner and {{EF|Flint}} appear at the entrance to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and have a [[double battle]] against the {{player}} and their {{ga|Barry|rival}}. He can later be fought, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]].

===Quotes===
'''[[Vista Lighthouse]]'''
:''"... ... ...so you're the latest challenger up against the Sunyshore Gym...All right, I've decided! If I find you to be weak, I'm going to challenge the Pokémon League. I'm all done with renovating the Gym, so I don't need to be here. More than anything, I want to have battles that can thrill me again. As the toughest Gym Leader in Sinnoh, I'm going to unleash everything in my arsenal on you."''

'''[[Sunyshore Gym]]'''
*Before battle
:''"...all right, challenger. It's not often, but some Trainers manage to come and challenge me. But they've all been boring battles. I didn't break a sweat beating them. ...Sigh... I'm Volkner, the Gym Leader. They say I'm the top Gym Leader in Sinnoh, but... Anyway, I guess we'd better get this done. I hope you're the Trainer who'll make me remember how fun it is to battle!''

*After the player takes any one of his Pokémon down to half HP
:''"I get it! You guys are tough! But we can match your toughness!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Here it comes! Get ready for my trump card!''
:or
:''"This is it! My trump card!"''

*During battle
:''"Shocking... I didn't see this coming!"''

*When defeated
:''"You've got me beat... Your desire and the noble way your Pokémon battled for you... I even felt thrilled during our match. That was a very good battle."''

*After being defeated
:''"...hehehe. Hahahah! ...That was the most fun I've had in a battle since...I don't know when! It's also made me excited to know you and your team will keep battling to greater heights! This is your eighth badge. You've earned this!"''

:''"That badge will allow you to use the hidden move Waterfall even when you're not in a battle. Waterfall happens to be key if you're going to the Pokémon league. Also, because you've collected all eight badges, any Pokémon at any level will now obey you without fail. I want you to take [[TM57|this too]]. What's inside that TM57 is the move Charge Beam. It may raise Special Attack if it lands. It's electrifying!"''

*Post-battle
:''"Your next step is the Pokémon League challenge. It's time for you to cross the sea and win your way through the gauntlet that is Victory Road. Demonstrate to the Pokémon League your mastery of your team. Against you, even the Elite Four will be pushed to fend off your challenge!"''

'''[[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier Entrance Hall]]'''
*Before battle
:''"I don't know how I managed to get myself into this, but... Show me the skills that got you through the Pokémon League!"''

*When defeated
:''"Your toughness is something else. We were completely overwhelmed!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Hey! Don't burn out on us! Now you're just getting in the way."'' (to Flint)

:''"Hahaha! That was a blast! Our combination came up short, but you're also a lot tougher as well. Promise me we'll do this again. I'll see to taking this husk home."''

'''[[Battleground]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Your Pokémon... I can feel their power! Of course, you can sense the power of my Pokémon, can't you? Let us battle with you!"''
:''"Hm? What's up? You do want to battle?"'' (if "No" is the first answer)
::No: ''"Aww, come on now. Don't disappoint me..."''
::Yes: ''"Yeah! It's electric, this feeling of anticipation! Let's do it! We're going to make some sparks fly!"''

*During battle
:''"You methodically corner me! Just like before!"''

*When defeated
:''"I even felt thrilled during our match. That was a very good battle."''

*After being defeated
:''"Winning makes me happy and losing leaves me angry... That's no great revelation, but it's what makes me stronger."''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"Hmm... This place gives me ideas about how I can renovate my Gym."''

:''"My {{p|Electivire}} is a force of nature to be reckoned with. No, don't get me started. I'll tell you another time."''

:''"When I got my first Gym Badge, I used the move Thunderbolt. Ever since, I've stuck with the Electric type even as I got better. I do it because I don't want to ever forget how happy I was when I won. Incidentally, Flint's fascination with the Fire type is only from his name. Someone told him that a flint is what's used to spark a fire, and that was it."''

:''"What's wrong? You're looking serious for a change."'' (to Flint)
:''"Don't start! That will make my Gym stand out less."'' (to Flint)

:''"My relationship to Flint? There's no love lost, that's for sure."''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Volkner Anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Volkner in the anime]]
Volkner was first referred to by [[Tower Tycoon Palmer]] in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', saying that, after seeing his battling skills, {{Ash}} would be able to give Volkner "a shock."

Volkner first appeared in person in [[DP165]]. It was revealed in the episode that he had met up with {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} when they were younger and had become rivals and eventually good friends. After Volkner became a Gym Leader, he designed the walkways of [[Sunyshore City]] and other technological advancements for the city. He also designed the [[Sunyshore Tower]] which supplies electricity to the city.
[[File:Young Volkner.png|thumb|250px|left|Young Volkner with his {{p|Pikachu}}]]
However, he soon became bored with battling and resorted to giving free badges to Trainers. After witnessing {{Ash}}'s battle with Flint, he became interested in battling again and decided to accept Ash's challenge for a Gym battle.

Volkner appeared again in [[DP166]], where he and Ash began their Gym battle. However, it was quickly interrupted as [[Team Rocket]] stole the Sunyshore Tower, causing a city-wide blackout. After {{Ash}} defeated Team Rocket with the help of his newly evolved {{AP|Torterra}}, Volkner returned the tower back to its original place. However, as both the tower and Gym were badly damaged, Volkner told Ash that he had to repair them before they could have a rematch. Ash agreed to the terms, saying that he'll spend that time for more training.

Luxray's known moves are {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Volkner and Candice Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Volkner and his {{p|Electivire}} with [[Candice]] and her {{p|Froslass}}]]
After Team Galactic capture the Lake trio and defeat Candice, Maylene, and Platinum, Candice and Maylene demand that Byron send someone strong to train them. Because Byron is occupied with protecting Professor Rowan and Mr. Berlitz, he briefly considers sending Roark, but realizes that Roark will not be strong enough and tries to call Volkner instead.

The call initially does not go through because Sunyshore City is in the middle of a blackout caused by Volkner's gym renovations. Volkner, depressed that Pokémon battles have become boring as a result of few strong opponents challenging him, elects to leave the gym when Byron's call gets through.

When Volkner meets Platinum and the two female Gym Leaders, he initially mistakes Platinum as another Gym Leader, indicating that he is quite distant from his colleagues. He attacks them and leaves immediately, as none of them appear strong enough to interest him. Platinum's sincere declaration asking him to train her interests Volkner enough for him to send out his Electivire to battle her. Once she defeats him, he awards her the Beacon Badge.

==Trivia==
[[Image:FlintVolkner.png|The double battle against Flint and Volkner.|thumb]]
* Volkner's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|かがやきしびれさせるスター|Star dazzling radiance}}.
* All of Volkner's Diamond and Pearl Pokémon are Pokémon that have [[gender differences]].
* Two of Volkner's Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl are not of his chosen type, Electric ({{p|Ambipom}} is a {{type2|Normal}} and {{p|Octillery}} is a {{type2|Water}}).
**However, each of these Pokémon knows one Electric-type move ({{m|Shock Wave}} and {{m|Charge Beam}} respectively). This changed in {{v2|Platinum}} when Ambipom and Octillery are replaced by {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Electivire}}.
* Volkner's Electivire is the only Pokémon of a [[Gym Leader]] to use [[seal]]s in {{game|Platinum}}. Coincidentally, it is used in the double battle with {{EF|Flint}}, who uses his {{p|Magmortar}}, the only Pokémon of a member of the [[Elite Four]] to have seals.
* To follow the pattern of every Electric-type Gym Leader's military-style clothing, Volkner wears a military uniform similar to that of the dress uniform of Turkish troops.
* Volkner is the only [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]] to not have any Pokémon with more than one [[type]] in Diamond and Pearl.
* Volkner is the only Electric specialist Gym Leader to not use a {{p|Voltorb}} or {{p|Electrode}}.
* Volkner being bored with weak Trainers and few challengers can also be seen in {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, leader of the [[Orange League]], who had the same feeling, except Drake wasn't just letting challengers take the [[Winner's Trophy]] without battling.
* Volkner is the second Gym Leader in {{pkmn|anime}} to own a {{p|Raichu}} that they evolved from {{p|Pikachu}}. The first was [[Lt. Surge]].

'''Magnezone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジバコイル''' ''Jibacoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magneton}} via [[level]]-up in [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is the final form of {{p|Magnemite}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magnezone is the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at [[Mt. Coronet]]. The center {{p|Magnemite}} of {{p|Magneton}} has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color gray than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail. Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are seemingly-mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to {{p|Metagross}}, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.

====Gender differences====
Magnezone is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Magnezone use the same moves that Magnemite and Magneton can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton. However, Magnezone is slower than its previous evolution, most likely due to the added weight. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn {{m|Barrier}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}.

===Behavior===

If frightened, Magnezone will discharge electricity uncontrollably.

===Habitat===
Magnezone can sometimes be found living in power plants, but they are significantly rarer than either {{p|Magnemite}} or {{p|Magneton}}. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at [[Mt. Coronet]], but they are still significantly hard to find.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Magnezone feed off of electrical charges.

==In the anime==
[[File:Magnezone anime.png|thumb|250px|Magnezone in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Magnezone made its debut in the movie ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' under the ownership of the main antagonist, [[Zero]]. Despite Zero's maniacal behavior, Magnezone was very loyal to him. Magnezone generally acted as a leader to the {{p|Magnemite}}/{{p|Magneton}} army.

A wild Magnezone appeared in [[DP158]], where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Metagross}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
===In [[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[Cyrus]] took his {{p|Magneton}} to [[Mt. Coronet]] to evolve it. He ordered it and his {{p|Nosepass}} to attack {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}; as they attacked, they evolved into Magnezone and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Magnezone is the sheriff of [[Treasure Town]], and takes Pokémon the player arrests, such as {{P|Drowzee}}.

==Trivia==
* Magnezone and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon to date. With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes them immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magnezone's [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork and in-game menu sprite show that the poles of its magnets are red and blue, but in its {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}} sprite and in its anime appearances, none of its magnets have color on the end.
** In {{game|Platinum}} this oversight was corrected. The blue in its sprite is deeper than in the art and on its pre-evolutions, however.
** As seen in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, Magnezone may have the capability to "turn on and off" the colors.
* Magnezone and its pre-evolution {{p|Magneton}} have National Pokédex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other two Pokémon related by evolution.
* Magnezone has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of any {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, and highest Special Attack of any non-legendary {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Magnezone loses the ability to learn {{m|Tri Attack}} upon evolution. This references the fact that the Magnemite were exposed to magnetic waves causing them to fuse, rather than all three of them working together.
* Magnezone and its pre-evolved forms are the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon to learn Zap Cannon naturally.
* Magnezone's role in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness is often thought to be a reference to {{wp|Robocop}}.

===Origin===
Magnezone is based on the concept of a living magnet that bears a resemblance to a {{wp|flying saucer}} or a {{wp|UFO}}.

====Name origin====
Magnezone is derived from a shortening and portmanteau of "magnetic zone", an alternative name for a magnetic field. Jibacoil's name is from 磁場 ''jiba'', the Japanese word for magnetic field, and the ''coil'' part refers to an electro-magnetic coil.

===Physiology===
Bidoof are small brown rodent-like creatures with large front teeth which they use for gnawing on wood. They have round tufts of fur on their tails and a ring of them on their faces. Bidoof has a red nose, a black snout and a paler-colored underside. They also have black, slightly webbed paws. In the anime, it is shown that they can run on two legs like humans.

====Gender differences====
The tail of a male Bidoof consists of five tufts of fur, while the tail of a female only has three.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Bidoof need to constantly gnaw on hard substances to keep their teeth ground down, since they grow constantly. Without something to gnaw on, they become violent because of the pain and inconvenience the unwieldy growing teeth cause.

===Habitat===
Bidoof build their nests along the side of bodies of water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Bidoof feed mainly on seeds, roots, and plants. Occasionally they eat tree bark. They also eat [[Berry|berries]].

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Bidoof is a member of [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], the second newest recruit next to the player's team. He updates his "Yup Yup" journal over the course of the game.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: 9 Bidoof are used by [[Team Dim Sun]]'s [[Wheeler]].
{{spoiler}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Bidoof stars in his own special episode, being the playable character. When Bidoof left home and first joined [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], he often messed things up and wasn't really liked by anyone. One day, whilst visiting the [[Kecleon Shop]], he was confronted by a {{p|Snover}} who gave it an old map before hurrying off. A {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Bagon}} then appeared to be chasing Snover. The map showed a legendary dungeon known as the [[Wish Cave]] where {{p|Jirachi}} [[Status_ailment#Sleep|sleeps]], and after learning about it from [[Chatot (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Chatot]], Bidoof decided to go there so he may make a wish to make himself a stronger explorer. Snover finds Bidoof at the Guild, and together they head off to the Wish Cave. However, upon reaching the end, Gligar and Bagon appeared, and Snover turned against Bidoof. It turns out that it was a trick pulled off by the three, who are a thief gang called Actors. They saw Bidoor's wealth when he visited the Kecleon shop, so they plotted the whole thing to lure Bidoof to the Wish Cave to rob him. Bidoof fights the three, but fails. Before the team robs him, the entire Guild shows up to help him. Bidoof is touched that he is a cherished member of the Guild afterall. [[Wigglytuff (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Wigglytuff]] helps him blast open a hidden cave where Bidoof can find Jirachi. He finds Jirachi sleeping. It talks in Its sleep, warning Bidoof that it attacks in its sleep. Bidoof must defeats it to help it awaken. Bidoof makes his wish and, though given a lot of choices, Bidoof wishes for new juniors to join the Guild so he could help them. The wish is fulfilled when the player and his/her partner joins the Guild, thus ending the story.

==Trivia==
*A guest comic to the webcomic [http://www.vgcats.com VGCats] parodied Bidoof by giving it the nickname [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=235 the "Vendor Trash" Pokémon].
* In each region, there is a two-stage {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon encountered early in the region. Bidoof is the [[Sinnoh]] variation on this theme, while {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Zigzagoon}} are those of other regions. Out of all of them however, Bidoof is the only one whose {{p|Bibarel|evolution}} is not pure Normal-type.
* Bidoof's Platinum Pokédex entry references {{p|Rattata}} despite not being in the same regional Pokédex as it.
===Origin===
Bidoof appears to be based on a {{wp|beaver}}, or a {{wp|gopher}}. It is particularly similar to the {{wp|mountain beaver}}, a primitive relative of beavers lacking tails.
====Name origin====
Its name is derived from ''beaver'' and ''doofus'' or ''tooth''. Bidoof's Japanese name Bippa is derived from the English word ''beaver'' and 出っ歯 ''deppa'', protruding tooth.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bidiza - From ''Biber'' (beaver).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Keunottor - From ''quenotte'' (milk tooth) and ''castor'' (beaver).

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Venonat is most likely based on a gnat.
====Name origin====
Venonat's name is likely a combination of ''[[wp:venom|venom]]'' and ''[[wp:gnat|gnat]]'', a small insect. Its Japanese name is possibly a combination of こんちゅう ''konchū'', meaning ''insect'', and the word ''pang'', which is the sound that a {{wp|radar}} makes, referring to its radar-like eyes. It could also be a shortening of コンパウンド　アイ, ''compound eye'', both referring to its eyes and its {{a|Compoundeyes|ability}}.

'''Silver's Weavile''' (Japanese: '''シルバーのマニューラ''' ''Silver's Manyula'') is one of the [[Pokémon]] that {{adv|Silver}} owns in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}. It is unknown where {{p|Weavile}} was obtained, as it was Silver's very first Pokémon.

==History==
[[Image:Silver's_Sneasel.PNG|thumb|left|120px|As a Sneasel]]
Weavile has been with Silver since childhood, when it was a Sneasel. He was with Silver when the [[Masked Man]] kidnapped him, helping him whenever he needs to. He seems to remember about Silver's childhood before the Masked Man's kidnap, as seen when his memories were read by {{adv|Yellow}}, although he did not remember everything fully until he saw [[Giovanni]] at the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, most likely due to the trauma of the kidnapping.

Weavile is quickwitted and cares very deeply for Silver. He is seen alongside him very frequently.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Sneasel had evolved into {{p|Weavile}} after battling against [[Team Rocket]]'s {{p|Koffing}}.

{{anmu|Normal|Slash}}
{{anmu/f|ice|c=l}}

==In the games==
Silver's Weavile is based on a Sneasel belonging to {{ga|Silver|his game counterpart}} in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Generation IV]] remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In the games, Silver steals a Sneasel from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]].

The first time Silver uses his Sneasel in battle against the {{player}}, his moveset is:

Evolution stone

Tyro: Undo revision 1032071 by Yourlilemogirl (Talk)

[[Image:Branched_evolution.png|250px|thumb|Gloom's [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched]] [[evolution family|evolutionary line]] as demonstrated in the anime: both of Gloom's potential evolutions require an evolutionary stone.]]
An '''evolutionary stone''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化の石|しんかのいし}}''' ''Shinka no ishi'') is any one of ten stone-like [[item]]s that radiate a mysterious energy that causes some {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species of Pokémon}} to [[evolution|evolve]]. An eleventh stone, the Everstone, is different in that radiates a type of energy that prevents evolution in the holder regardless of its species.

Evolutionary stones may be used at any time, and cause instant evolution in the Pokémon they are used on, which cannot be cancelled. With the exception of the Oval Stone and Everstone, which must be held for their effects to take place, all evolutionary stones are applied directly to the Pokémon. All stones that cause evolution in a Pokémon, including the Oval Stone, are consumed upon that Pokémon's evolution.

The use of a stone is seen by many to be "forced" evolution, especially by the main characters of the anime, as the Pokémon is not in charge of its own transformation. Many Pokémon that result from a stone-based evolution also have vastly different level-up [[move|learnset]]s than their pre-evolutionary forms, with several learning no moves after evolution at all.

==In the anime==
[[File:Large Moon Stone.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Ash, Misty, Brock, and Seymour watch as Clefairy dance about a giant Moon Stone.]]
Evolutionary stones are showcased somewhat rarely in the anime, as only a relative few Pokémon are able to evolve by using them. Despite this, they were among the earliest of items to have been showcased in the anime, appearing as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', where a rather large Moon Stone appeared deep within [[Mt. Moon]]. It was being worshiped by a group of {{p|Clefairy}} who lived there, and was soon stolen by Team Rocket and ended up being blown up. The shards from it, however, rained down on the Clefairy and caused some of them to evolve.

The second appearance of an evolutionary stone occurred in ''[[EP014|The Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where the Thunderstone was introduced. This was likewise the first opportunity that a Pokémon belonging to a member of the main cast was given to evolve by stone. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, refused the offer, intending to beat [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} as a Pikachu.

The remaining Generation I evolutionary stones made their debut in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', as part of a collection held by the [[Eevee brothers]]. Additionally, two of the Eevee brothers offered a Fire Stone and Thunderstone to [[Brock]] and {{Ash}}, respectively, to evolve their {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and Pikachu, though both refused.

A forest that appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' was a reported hotbed of Leaf Stones, and the radiation from these stones in the forest was so strong as to induce evolution in [[Melvin]]'s {{p|Exeggcute}}, which proceeded to cause chaos by hypnotizing a horde of other Exeggutor.

A fake Leaf Stone, made by Team Rocket, appeared in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', where the discovery of its nature as a fake was central to the episode. A real Leaf Stone finally appeared at the very end of ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. With it, the {{p|Exeggcute}} that had been following [[Misty's Togepi]] around evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

Ash won a Sun Stone in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] during ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', later using it to evolve a {{p|Sunkern}} in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Fire Stones played an important role in ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones]]'', where they were intended to be delivered to a stadium to be used as a prize for competitors there.

Both the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone appear in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'' as a demonstration of the [[list of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branch]] in {{p|Gloom}}'s [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary line]].

The Water Stone appears in ''[[AG105|Once in Mawile]]'' and is used by [[Brock's Lombre]] to evolve into Ludicolo. This is the first time that a main character's Pokémon evolves via an evolutionary stone on-screen, although it is likely that [[James's Weepinbell]] was evolved by way of a Leaf Stone prior to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', {{an|Dawn}} used an Everstone on her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to prevent it from evolving.

[[Professor Oak]] gave a Water Stone to a wild Lombre in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', while a Dusk Stone was central to the plot of ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]''.

Strangely, evolutionary stones do not seem to be ''required'' for evolution in the anime as they are in the games. [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|James's second Weepinbell]] evolved without a Leaf Stone in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid]]'', though this may just be an example of [[anime physics]].

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]], a Moon Stone is first mentioned by [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' as a rock with a moon-shaped inscription that boosts a Pokémon's power immensely. In the next round, ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', [[Team Rocket]] searches for one in [[Mt. Moon]], however it is {{adv|Red}} who finds it. Later on, Red uses this Moon Stone to evolve {{adv|Green}}'s {{p|Clefairy}}. [[Poli|Red's Poliwhirl]] later evolves into a {{p|Poliwrath}} with the help of a Water Stone when he falls in the water.

In the {{chap|Yellow}} chapter, {{adv|Yellow}} finds a Leaf Stone in Vermilion Harbor, but the Fire, Thunder, and Water Stones are missing. Later, it is revealed [[Giovanni]] gave them to Red so he could evolve his Eevee.

==Trivia==
* So far, only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} evolve when exposed to a Fire Stone or Thunderstone, only {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} evolve when exposed to a Dusk Stone, and only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} evolve when exposed to a Dawn Stone.
* The Moon Stone, Leaf Stone, and Water Stone are the only stones introduced in one generation that evolve Pokémon introduced in a later generation.
* Of the original five evolutionary stones, the Thunderstone sees the least use, with only two Pokémon species that evolve using it.
* All evolutionary stones introduced after [[Generation I]] can only evolve two species.
* Of all {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone}}, only {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Gloom}} can use multiple ones; together they can use any of the stones introduced before [[Generation IV]] except for the Moon Stone.
* Only four Pokémon that evolve by stone can evolve using another method: {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, and {{p|Snorunt}}.
* Only {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon evolve using the Leaf Stone and Sun Stone, and both Pokémon that evolve using the Sun Stone evolve into pure Grass-types.
* The Oval Stone is the only evolutionary stone that must be held by the Pokémon, instead of used directly on it, to induce evolution. Thus, it works more like a [[Razor Claw]] or [[Razor Fang]] in functionality.
* Of all the Pokémon that evolve by evolutionary stone, only {{p|Happiny}} is able to evolve further.
* All Pokémon that evolve with the Fire Stone and Thunderstone are in the {{egg3|Ground}}, all the Pokémon that evolve with the Leaf and Sun Stones are in the {{egg3|Plant}}, and all the Pokémon that evolve with the Shiny Stone are in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* Both Pokémon that evolve with Shiny Stone evolve into Pokémon with a red right appendage and a blue left appendage.
* [[Generation III]] is the only [[generation]] in which no new evolutionary stones have been introduced.
* {{p|Togekiss}} is the only Pokémon that evolves from its pre-evolution by way of a stone that shares ''no'' moves in its level-up learnset with its pre-evolved form.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scizor has a similar appearance to its evolutionary predecessor {{p|Scyther}}, except with a thick, red metallic exoskeleton, which comes at the expense of much of the speed Scyther had, but makes up for it by having a higher Defense and Attack. Scizor also has crab-like claws, with yellow-and-black eye-like patterns on them that bear a faint resemblance to a {{p|Trapinch}}'s head. Scizor has two-toed feet with one clawed toe in front and the other in the back. Scizor has two-lobed wings like a butterfly. Aside from its primarily red coloration, Scizor has accentuations of black on its neck, chest, and abdomen.
====Gender differences====
The female Scizor has a bigger abdomen than the male.
====Special abilities====
Scizor's abilities are basically stronger versions of Scyther's. However, it cannot match its pre-evolution's speed. It is however, stronger and much more durable, and capable of learning Steel-type moves.

===Behavior===
Scizor are known to upraise their claws and wave them around to scare others, as their claws look like two heads. A Scizor's wings are not meant for flying but rather used to cool down body temperature; however, Scizor have been seen flying with wings in the [[Pokémon anime]].

===Habitat===

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Vicious's Dark Scizor.png|thumb|220px|right|In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', under the ownership of [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]]]
===Major appearances===
Scizor was first seen under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Shingo]] who thought he could always predict the outcome of a match by the database on his computer in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle]]''.

The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] used a Scizor to retrieve {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] used a Scizor against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]''.

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', [[Katie]] used a Scizor to battle [[Ash's Swellow]] during the [[Hoenn]] League. Katie's Scizor lost.

In ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', a girl named [[Luna]] had a Scizor disguise itself as "Red Lightning". Red Lightning went around a city, battling other people's Pokémon. Red Lightning would then scribble on the defeated Pokémon's face. The disguised Scizor's reign of terror ended when [[Ash's Pikachu]] blasted its costume off and [[Ash's Sceptile]] defeated it in battle.

[[Image:Mitsuzo's Scizor.png|thumb|right|220px|Scizor in the anime]]
A Scizor under the ownership of [[Mitsuzō]] battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Gliscor}} in [[DP154]].

===Minor appearances===
Scizor also appeared in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'' under the ownership of a girl named [[Minnie]]. It fought against [[Brock's Croagunk|Jessie's Croagunk]] and lost.

A Scizor appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

{{main|Scizor (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Scizor is a more dangerous version of {{p|Marill}}. Not only does it do more damage but it will fly around the screen targeting an opponent.

====Trophy information====
This evolved form of {{P|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses a Scizor in his attempts to stop the player.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scizor is a famous explorer who is captured by {{p|Froslass}} in ice for several decades. The player defeats Froslass and frees Scizor, who bestows the Secret Rank upon the player's team in gratitude.

==Trivia==
{{bad picture|section|.JPG and slightly blurry }}
[[Image:TheRedInazumaofSkyscraper.jpg|right|thumb|A Scizor {{m|fly}}ing in the anime]]
* Although Scizor cannot learn the move {{m|Fly}}, and its [[Pokédex]] entries (as well as in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]) say that Scizor doesn't use its wings to fly, Scizor has a modified version of flying in the anime. In the anime episode ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'', Brock notes that the gusts of wind blowing around the tall buildings on which they stood were helping {{ka|Luna}}'s Scizor to 'fly' around them.
* Scizor shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kingler}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution, {{p|Scyther}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* Scizor is one of the only three Pokémon to get [[STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Empoleon}}.
*Scizor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]] and is second only to {{p|Metagross}} for highest Attack of all {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Scizor appears to share characteristics with flying red {{wp|ant}}s and {{wp|praying mantis}}es.

====Name origin====
Scizor's name is a corruption of ''{{wp|Scissors|scissor}}'' and {{wp|razor}}. The "Sci" could come from "excise" or to remove by cutting. It could also come from "{{wp|Sai}}."

Its Japanese name is a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'', to clip or snip.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Scherox - From ''Schere'' (scissors) and possibly ''ferox'' (Latin for wild) or ''{{wp|oxidation}}'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Cizayox - From a corruption of ''ciseaux'' (scissors), and possibly ''oxidation'', in reference to its rust-red color.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핫삼 ''Hassam''

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・シゲル''' ''Shigeru Ōkido'') is the primary [[rival]] of [[Ash Ketchum]] and grandson of [[Professor Oak]]. His Japanese name is derived from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

==In the anime==
Gary has been a neighbor of [[Ash Ketchum]] since they were both young. At one time they seemed to be friends and went to see movies together as seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' Before either of their journeys began, both Gary and Ash found an old [[Poké Ball]] while fishing. The two boys began fighting over who would get to keep the Poké Ball but ended up breaking it in half. Since then, they decided to keep the two separate pieces for themselves. It was revealed in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' that they still carried the pieces with them.

===In the original series===
[[Image:Gary1.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Gary as seen in the original series.]]
The day he started out on his Pokémon journey, he came off as an arrogant trainer, much like his {{pkmn|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that Ash originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. And he didn't walk on his journeys like most trainers did. Instead he had his own sporty red convertible with his own chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet-name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon.

Soon he would eat his words when he would challenge the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Giovanni]] to a Pokémon battle for his final, but not necessary, badge in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. At first he seemed to be winning against Giovanni, knocking out most of his Pokémon. But then Giovanni sent out {{an|Mewtwo}} against the trainer and even let Gary use both his {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}} against it. Mewtwo made quick work of the two Pokémon and Gary experienced his first (known) loss. However this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on to finally realize that he needed to change himself.

Gary eventually returned in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Much unlike his former self, he congratulated Ash on his victory in the [[Orange Crew|Orange League]]. Soon Ash challenged him to a battle with his {{AP|Pikachu}} as his choice. Gary in turn used his {{TP|Gary|Eevee|Umbreon}}. Gary managed to defeat Ash and then left on his journey through [[Johto]].

In his few appearances during the Johto season, he seemed to have become the complete opposite of who he was. He became polite, intelligent, and respectful to others, including Ash. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' he battled Ash at the [[Silver Conference]]. Ash ended up winning the battle when his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated Gary's Blastoise.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Gary decided that he didn't want to be a Pokémon Trainer anymore, but instead wanted to be a [[Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather.

===In the ''Advanced Generation'' series===
In ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', Gary works on [[Sayda Island]] with {{an|Crystal}}. There, he revived an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from an [[Old Amber]]. At first the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island, but Gary soon gained its trust after he fed it some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat.

Eventually, he moves to the [[Sinnoh]] region where he is currently conducting his research.

In ''[[AG192|Home Is Where The Start Is]]'', Gary reunited with Ash and battled him with his new {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and defeated Ash's Pikachu once more.

===In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series===
[[File:Gary DP Pokémon.png|right|thumb|245px|Gary and two of his Pokémon]]
In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' he was taking care of a group of {{p|Shieldon}} and protected them from the evil [[Pokémon Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her minions]]. He appeared again in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'' where he helped Ash and {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} by giving a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} to Ash which caused {{AP|Gligar}} to evolve later. He was in the area after hearing rumors of {{p|Azelf}}. Upon meeting him, {{an|Dawn}} thought that he was a poet like his [[Professor Oak|grandfather]].

Gary later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three!]]'' and [[DP152]], working alongside Professor Rowan at [[Valor Lakefront]] where he attempted to protect Azelf from [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] and [[Team Galactic]], however he was unable to defeat [[Saturn]] in battle. He later monitored the changes around [[Mt. Coronet]] caused by [[Cyrus]]' attempts to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

===Pokémon===
Since the very start of his own journey, Gary has shown exceptional skill as a Pokémon Trainer, catching and training an astonishing number and variety of strong Pokémon in a short period of time. However, since retiring as a Pokémon Trainer to become a researcher, it isn't known if he continues to catch new Pokémon.

This listing is for Gary's [[Pokémon]] as of [[DP152]].

It beat [[Ash's Heracross]] and {{AP|Bayleef}} and also almost defeated [[Ash's Muk]] before Ash recalled it. Eventually, Blastoise was defeated by [[Ash's Charizard]]'s {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

Gary has kept Blastoise in his team even after the Silver Conference. In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' he used it to battle against [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] and her [[J's henchmen|henchmen]].}}

Umbreon has also been seen during Gary's appearances at [[Sinnoh]]. For example, it was seen in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', where Gary used in a practice battle against [[Ash's Gliscor|Ash's Gligar]].

Gary has later been seen using Electivire in Sinnoh. In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' he used it to battle against J in order to stop her from stealing the {{p|Shieldon}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three!]]'', Gary used Electivire to battle against [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], but the Thunderbolt Pokémon was defeated by {{p|Toxicroak}}'s powerful {{m|Poison Jab}}.}}

When [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal Mrs. and [[Mr. Shellby]]'s [[Pokémon egg]]s, Gary used Arcanine's {{m|Flame Wheel}} to send them blasting off. After this the race continued, and finally Ash, using his {{p|Bayleef}}, proved victorious.

Gary later used Arcanine in the Silver Conference. He sent it against [[Ash's Snorlax]], but Snorlax managed to defeat Arcanine with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

===Badges obtained===

During his journey, Gary collected badges to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] and [[Silver Conference]]. He won ten badges in [[Kanto]], of which he already had five by the [[EP025|twenty-fifth episode]], and showed off the whole set in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' (though he failed to gain an eleventh badge in that episode when faced against {{an|Mewtwo}}). Of the eight badges that Ash won, Gary only has three: A Boulder Badge, a Cascade Badge, and a Rainbow Badge. The other seven are unknown, but aside from the Earth Badge, he didn't get a Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, Soul Badge, or Volcano Badge.

Gary's achievements in [[Johto]] were not stated, other than that he had the minimum of eight badges to compete in the tournament.

==Trivia==
* His English name could have been derived from his Japanese name. It may also be referencing the [[wp:Quercus garryana|Garry oak]], a type of oak tree.
* Gary is one of the few characters to have his English dub voice remain unchanged throughout the series. From ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to this day, he has been voiced by [[Jimmy Zoppi]]. Zoppi is currently credited as '''Billy Beach''' under his Pokémon USA work.
* The only known losses Gary has had during the entire series were against Mewtwo (while under Giovanni's control), against {{Ka|Melissa}} at Indigo Plateau, and against Ash during the Silver Conference. In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|manga]], he is defeated by [[Ritchie]] at the Indigo League instead of Melissa.
* In the [[original series]], Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I]]. In his {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series2|Diamond & Pearl}} appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, making him the only non-main character to undergo a permanent change of clothing.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of Pokémon owned by Ash and each of {{Ashfr|his friends}}, excluding {{an|Dawn}} (and [[Max]], of course). These are: Blastoise ({{AP|Squirtle}} and {{TP|May|Wartortle}}), Kingdra ({{TP|Misty|Horsea}}), Golem ({{TP|Brock|Geodude}}) and Scizor ({{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}). Both Ash and Gary have also caught a {{AP|Krabby}}, but only Ash's is known to have evolved.
* Gary has been shown to have Pokémon from all generations except [[Generation III]].
* Gary is so far the only one of Ash's rivals to appear in a Pokémon movie, appearing '''very''' briefly in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of each of the special Pokémon that can appear on [[Route 201]] via the [[Dual-slot mode|dongle]] method, swarming, or the [[Poké Radar]] (Arcanine, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Dodrio).

'''Kenny''' (Japanese: '''ケンゴ''' ''Kengo'') is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and is a childhood friend of {{an|Dawn}} and [[Leona]]. He and Dawn have since become rivals. He started his Pokémon journey some time before Dawn did. Like Dawn, his starter Pokémon was also a {{p|Piplup}}.

==History==
Kenny first appeared in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' and ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]'' in which he and Dawn entered the Floaroma Pokémon Contest. Both of them made it to the finals but he lost to Dawn after a closely fought battle.

He made a brief appearance on television in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' with his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in which he appears winning a Pokémon Contest, which gave him his second ribbon.
[[File:Kenny contest.png|thumb|left|220px|Kenny in his Contest outfit]]
He appeared again in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', where he enters the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} with a new Pokémon, a Breloom.

[[File:Kenny Leona Child.png|thumb|right|220px|Kenny and Leona in their childhood]]
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he made short cameos watching the Wallace Cup on TV. Kenny then made a cameo in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' alongside with [[Nando]] in [[Marian]]'s news report about {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s.

He also appeared in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', along with {{an|Barry}}, where they revealed that they are best friends, despite having recently met. In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', he reappeared, entering in the [[Sandalstraw Town]] Contest and won against [[Dawn's Ambipom]] with his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}, earning him his fourth [[ribbon]].

Kenny calls Dawn by her nickname, '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). It was revealed in [[DP161]] that he came up with the name to make fun of Dawn when they were younger.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. His universal voice actress is [[Ikue Ohtani]]. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub series, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided his voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:First_Meeting.png‎|200px|left|thumb|{{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to his new Trainer. He refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.
 
[[Image:Ash's 1st Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|200px|The [[Poké Ball]] Professor Oak stored Pikachu in, which has a special lightning bolt mark. It is unknown if this Poké Ball was permanent as Ash uses regular Poké Balls to attempt to recall Pikachu, and the other three Poké Balls that held {{P|Bulbasaur}}, {{P|Charmander}} and {{P|Squirtle}} were still on the podium but empty. Also, [[Gary's Blastoise]] is held in a regular Poké Ball.]]
In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Steelix|Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]].

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his clone repeatedly slapped his face.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Pikachu was controlled by Butch and Cassidy, which caused him to become evil and disobey Ash's commands. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack his friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present him to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they have tried and continue to try hundreds of times, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of him. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].
[[File:PikachuStatic.png‎|200px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} ability.]]
In Sinnoh, he defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. He also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] time to recover. In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with {{m|Quick Attack}}, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with Pikachu's {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.

Later, in [[DP165]], Pikachu battled Flint's Infernape, but it was defeated after a long fight.

====Moves improvised====
'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When Giselle called for Cubone to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to 'Leer right back' by making funny faces. Ash also told Pikachu to use Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]'', when a {{p|Houndour}} used its own Leer on Pikachu.

An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.

'''"Rocket Punch"''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.

'''Thunder Armor''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the Coal Badge.

[[File:Pikachu's Counter Shield.png|thumb|right|200px|{{AP|Pikachu}} using Counter Shield]]
'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}.

Similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}}, Pikachu can use his {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack to form a '''[[Counter Shield]]'''.

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon, but in {{game|Yellow}}, it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves used most recently by Ash's Pikachu, as well.

==In the manga==
[[File:Pikachumangaash.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Pikachu in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
Pikachu has appeared in two manga series based on the anime, namely ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]''. In both, he was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', he was found in Ash's house, not given to him by [[Professor Oak]].

A Pikachu is also owned by Ash's Adventures counterpart {{adv|Red}}, known as [[Pika]].

==In the TCG==
Ash's Pikachu is featured in the TCG as a {{TCG|Pokémon M|Pokémon}} {{SP|M}}. The following is a list of cards named '''Pikachu {{SP|M}}'''.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|225px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* Despite the fact that {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the signature move of his evolutionary line, is in fact an egg move, Ash's Pikachu learned the move "by accident," when using an electrically-charged {{m|Quick Attack}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn. However, Pikachu is the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character that can evolve.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[Bicycle|bike]] of a particular girl who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and {{TP|Paul|Paul's Elekid|Electabuzz}}) he has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside his Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** [[Misty]], when she gets to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}, has never placed Togepi inside a Poké Ball and is always shown carrying it in her arms.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
* Out of Ash's Pokémon, Pikachu was the first one to defeat a [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon during battle in the anime, defeating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' and {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}} during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] of the Hoenn League in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. However, in both occasions, the two [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon had been weakened by other Pokémon in Ash's team at the time; {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Tauros}} had weakened {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} while {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} had weakened {{p|Metagross}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. [[Dawn's Buneary]] has also managed to defeat a {{p|Phione}}.
* Most of the moves Pikachu used in the [[original series]] were first used in an episode with the word ''showdown'' in its title.
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it was revealed that Pikachu has a fear of Ash leaving him.
[[File:PikachuDP.png|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
* In many new episodes, Pikachu's tail sparks instead of his cheeks when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is male. When a {{p|Togepi}} used {{m|Attract}} on Pikachu, {{MTR}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, all but Yanmega were affected (coincidentally, this also revealed Yanmega as being female).
** Pikachu's gender can also be inferred from Buneary's infatuation with Pikachu, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]''.
** Prior to ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', Ikue Ohtani stated once that the writers intended to keep Pikachu's gender ambiguous so the fanbase can connect with him more easily.
* Pikachu is Ash's only Pokémon he has on hand that has not learned a new move yet in the Sinnoh region.
* It is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].
*In {{pmin|Latin America}}, Cartoon Network has a "Biografia Toon" segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by [[Professor Oak]] and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.


===Pikachu's language===
Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], he says this.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}}]]
*Pi-Kachu: He says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
[[File:Pikachu as ash.png|thumb|left|Pikachu imitating {{Ash}}]]
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor) or ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape)
*PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket).
*Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' He says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu Imitating Turtwig.png|thumb|right|Ash's Pikachu imitating his Turtwig to alert him that it is missing.]]
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. He says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Piiika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. He says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, "Pika" when charging up and "Chuuuuu" when discharging.
*Pikaaaaaa-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunder}}''. He says this when using {{m|Thunder}}, like above but with different and a longer stress.
*PikaPikaPika... Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. He says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. He may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. He may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others.
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in trouble by imitating people and Pokémon.

'''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!]]."

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|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 and unskilled [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{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 his Pokémon. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He {{pkmn2|caught}} his [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was reluctant 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 a 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}} 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}}.

[[Image:Ashag.png|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 making it [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. At first, he was hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, but, as shown in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, he has no problem at all in allowing his team members to reach their evolved forms, except for Pikachu.
[[Image:AshAura.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
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 [[Misty]] and [[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.
[[Image:AshWallace.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash apparently has a close connection with [[legendary Pokémon]], especially {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}} and {{an|Giratina}}. 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.

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.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|220px|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 that began his journey in Pallet Town, but it is unclear whether he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced at 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}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

[[File:Ash party DP133.png|thumb|280px|Ash and his party from [[DP132|''Evolving Strategies!'']] to [[DP154]]]]
===Pokémon===
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.

==In the manga==
{{stub|Manga}}
The manga version of Ash Ketchum featured in ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' is based on the anime version, but there are many differences between the two. For example, while the anime version of Ash is indifferent to love, romance, or members of the opposite gender (or arguably, the same), the manga version of Ash has a huge crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love just like Brock, but to a much more subtle or less extreme degree.

The Ash featured in this manga follows 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|Orange Islands]].

===Appearance===
Ash's appearance is very different in the manga, too. Ash wears a red jacket much like Red. He also wears a very different hat throughout the first volume. However, in the sixth chapter of ''Electric Tale'' (''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'') he wears a hat that resembles the hat he wears in the Pokémon anime. He appears with [[Ash's Pikachu|his Pikachu]] on his shoulder.

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|280px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
* Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}}.
* In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, where he only captured {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}; instead the [[May's Blaziken|other]] [[Brock's Marshtomp|two]] were caught by {{an|May}} and [[Brock]].
* The last Pokémon that Ash has captured in every [[region]] are a part of {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|one-evolution families}}, namely {{AP|Phanpy|Donphan}} in [[Johto]], {{AP|Snorunt|Glalie}} in [[Hoenn]], and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} in [[Kanto]]. Of these four, Aipom is the only one not to evolve under Ash's care.
* He always catches a local bird-like Pokémon of the region - {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}} in Kanto, {{AP|Noctowl}} in Johto, {{AP|Taillow|Swellow}} in Hoenn, and {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}} in Sinnoh. Though not all of these Pokémon were captured in their first form, they all evolved into their final forms under Ash's care; the exception being Noctowl, who cannot evolve.
* All together, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of [[legendary Pokémon]], and at least ten of them multiple times.
* All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been under the control of someone other than Ash at some point ({{AP|Primeape}} is currently under Anthony's command, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} was under Dawn's ownership and is currently being trained in [[Vermilion City]], and his {{AP|Infernape}} was formerly owned by Paul.
**All three of these primate-based Pokémon were also shown evolving on-screen, and none of them evolved in the care of their original Trainer (Primeape evolved in the wild just prior to Ash capturing it, Ambipom evolved under Dawn's care, and Infernape (also as a {{AP|Monferno|Infernape}}) evolved under Ash's ownership).
* Ash also captured a member of each turtle-based evolutionary family.
* Three of Ash's current party have evolved whilst battling [[Paul]]; these are {{AP|Grotle|Torterra}}, {{AP|Staraptor}}, and {{AP|Monferno|Infernape}}. Of those three, Grotle and Staraptor evolved whilst battling [[Paul's Honchkrow]].
* 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}}), but has no evolved {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon.

===Challenges/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 so far battled four [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei]], {{EF|Drake}}, [[Agatha]] and [[Flint]], losing to all four.
* The largest amount of episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] is currently the gap between the {{ci|Snowpoint}} and {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gyms, which is currently up to [[DP171|44 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|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressing for the third time.]]
* 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.
* Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: 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]].

'''Lyra''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]] who debuted in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} first met Lyra when her {{p|Marill}} wandered off and they found it wedged in a wall. She introduced herself as a Trainer from [[Johto]]. She came to [[Sinnoh]] with her friend, [[Khoury]] and [[Khoury's father|his father]] in order to observe the Pokémon native to the region. Later she asks {{an|Dawn}} to participate in the [[Johto Festival]]. The two girls had a battle but Lyra lost and rewarded Dawn with an {{pkmn|egg}}. At the end of the episode, Lyra and Khoury join Ash's group because the former wanted to watch the upcoming {{to|Lilypad}} [[Pokémon Contest|Contest]] Dawn would be participating in.

It is implied in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'' that Lyra has an interest in Ash. She admires his bravery and wishes that [[Khoury]] would act more like him. Lyra even asks Dawn if she and Ash are [[PearlShipping|a couple]] though Dawn quickly denies it. In ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'', she attempted to pair [[Khoury]] and {{an|Dawn}} together as a couple before eventually realizing she had feelings for the former.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', she and Khoury had a [[tag battle]] against {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} in the {{to|Lilypad}} Colosseum. Both Lyra and Khoury eventually lost the battle.

Later they headed back to [[Johto]] with [[Khoury's father]]. Lyra plans on challenging [[Whitney]] and [[Morty]]. Also, upon her request, Khoury decided to become her traveling buddy. They promised Ash and Dawn that they would see them again.

|desc=Marill is one of Lyra's main Pokémon and appears to be very affectionate towards her. Marill first appeared in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' and it was because of Marill that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} met Lyra, as they helped it when it was trapped between two buildings near where the [[Johto Festival]] was taking place. In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', Marill was responsible for the gang getting trapped in the [[Valley Windworks]] when it wandered off during a practice battle between Ash and {{an|Dawn}}.

Marill also appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'' where its sensitive hearing helped the gang search for a Gible that was causing trouble near a Pokémon Center.

Marill's only known attack is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

'''Feebas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒンバス''' ''Hinbass'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Milotic}} by level-up when its [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] condition is high.

Feebas is known for its extreme rarity and it generally takes a long time to find one in the main series games where they are only found in a set number of randomly chosen fishing "tiles" on large bodies of water. For example, [[Route 119]] in [[Hoenn]] has hundreds of squares that the fishing rod can be used on in the river that runs down it but Feebas is only found in six of them. In [[Sinnoh]], Feebas is only found in four of the hundreds of squares which comprise the lake in [[Mt. Coronet]]'s basement which change daily. However, Feebas are actually very common where they are found making it easy to catch multiple members of the species once one has been located.

==Biology==
===Physiology===

Feebas are somewhat shabby, old-looking basses with tattered blue fins and a tall, arch-shaped fin that juts from its back. Its rough-textured body is dotted in several old spots resembling rocks. It has large, gloomy eyes and big lips frozen into a frown.

As their [[Beauty Contest|beauty]] increases, their rocky scales begin to gleam like diamond. It shows that {{p|Milotic|evolution}} is very near.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Although appearing to be old and worthless, Feebas are capable of learning powerful {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and Water-type moves like {{M|Surf}} and {{M|Water Pulse}}. They can also learn {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{M|Confuse Ray}}, {{M|Hypnosis}}, and {{M|Mirror Coat}} as [[egg move]]s through {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Behavior===
Feebas tend to be quite scarce in their natural range, but wherever they are found, they group together in tightly-packed schools. They're also easy to catch once encountered.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feebas is an aquatic Pokémon which can survive in both fresh and salt water thanks to its hardy nature. It prefers best ponds that are filled with weeds.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:JohannaFeebas.jpg|right|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and a Feebas in Dawn's dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'']]
Feebas has appeared six times in the {{pkmn|anime}}. One was biting [[Jessie]]'s hair in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.

The [[Magikarp Salesman]] sold a Feebas to [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'' but it was actually a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Magikarp}} in disguise.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the loveliest Feebas of all.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a Feebas under the ownership of [[Johanna]] was an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

Another Feebas also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{Adventures|Ruby}} obtained a Feebas by accidentally catching it while fishing. Thinking it was ugly, he kept throwing it back until he decided to keep it. During the flood caused by [[Kyogre]], Feebas ran away but returned when Ruby was attacked by [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]. After declaring it had inner beauty, Feebas evolved into [[Milotic]].

* Feebas shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Magikarp}}. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
* Feebas is currently the only Pokémon that needs a modification of its contest stats for it to evolve.
* Feebas has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
* The probability of finding a water tile with Feebas in [[Mount Coronet|Mt.Coronet]] is '''1/132'''. (The size of the pond is 18x34=612 tiles; The rock tiles sum 84; the water tiles in the pond are 528. If 4 of the 528 tiles have Feebas, the probability of finding a Feebas is 4/528. 528:4 = 132)
* Feebas has the lowest maximum Performance of any Pokémon, only capable of reaching 11 stars.

===Origin===
As its name suggests, Feebas is probably based on a {{wp|bass (fish)|bass}}. Its ugly appearance makes it appear to be also based from the concept of ugliness, appearing to don a wash of ugly makeup. It also seems to be based on the classic {{wp|fairy tale}}, the {{wp|The Ugly Duckling}}, where a small and feeble "''ugly duckling''," treated as an outcast by other animals, blossoms into a beautiful {{wp|swan}}.

====Name origin====
Feebas's name is a combination of ''feeble'', meaning small and weak, and ''bass''.

''Hinbass'' is a combination of 貧 ''hin'', poor, and ''bass''. "Hin" may also come from the words "hind," as in behind, or "hinder."

Burglar (Trainer class)

Tyro: Undo revision 1030392 by Anaphysik (Talk) Hardly Trivia

A '''Burglar''' (Japanese: '''かじばどろぼう''' ''Post-fire Burglar'' in Generations I, II and IV, '''どろぼう''' ''Burglar'' in Generation III) is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as suspicious men sneaking around with sacks thrown over their backs. In [[Generation I]] they are only found in the burned-down {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Cinnabar Gym]]. If defeated, they will sometimes drop an item as they flee.

They specialize in {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. They also use {{p|Koffing}}, which may be used as a [[In-battle effect item#Smoke Ball|quick escape method]].

Tyro: /* Incorrect Trivia? */

== Incorrect Trivia? ==

"Cyndaquil is the second starter Pokémon to be seen hatching from an egg in the anime, the first being Mudkip." wouldn't Misty's Togepi be the first pokemon seen to hatch from an egg in the anime? --[[User:Lulu chan126|Lulu chan126]] 22:17, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
:: "Cyndaquil is the second ''starter'' Pokémon." Hints in the sentence, togepi ain't a starter. [[User:Tyro|'''Tyro!''']] [[Special:Random|Talk to me!]] 22:41, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== The Basis ==

Isn't there a Japanese legend about a fire rat, a rodent that had flames on it, as well? I remember hearing about it in a couple of places. Inu-Yasha, a TCG about Asian mythology, the Shin Megami Tensen series. I'm thinkin' that the entire line might be draw upon that legend. Can anyone back it up with the actual name of the creature?

- Zeta

== Species dispute ==

My mother called Cyndaquil a fire mole. Is she wrong? [[User:Wimmah|Wimmah]] 05:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Does your mum even play the game? [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 05:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

:It's technically an echidna, but the dex says Fire Mouse. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 05:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

==Converting to Emerald Artwork?==

I notice that the Totodile Page has been given artwork from Emerald, so should we do the same for Cyndaquil and Chikorita? --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 00:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC) (Note: I did write this, I just forgot to tag it with my name. =P)
:Do those two have Emerald art? I haven't been able to find any. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::I notice on Filb.de when the background Pokémon on the top right corner changes, there's a different Sugi art for Chikorita and Cyndaquil than what we have now. So I'd assume that there is Emerald art for them somewhere. --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 00:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Well, can someone FIND IIIIIIT? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== EV Yield Error ==

Hi,
I noticed that the EV yield of Cyndaquil incorrectly states it as being +1 for Special Defense. Isn't it supposed to be for speed?

Asolisus

== Picture ==

I think Cyndaquil's main picture at the top of article needs to be slightly bigger. Not the actual file itself, I mean the size of it in the table. Because it has been shrunk from the full-size file it looks distorted around the edges. [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 14:01, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Would the blink effect help the partner in any way during, say, a boss battle? [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:45, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

"See also: Arena Trap"? What does Arena Trap have to do with Illuminate? The reverse link exists, too. [[User:Eevee|Eevee]] 18:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
:Because both of them increase the chance of finding a wild Pokémon. [[User:Tyro|'''Tyro!''']] [[Special:Random|Talk to me!]] 19:02, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Evolution

Tyro: Undo revision 1030720 by Ash's Infernape (Talk)

[[Image:Evolution.gif|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} evolves into {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]]]

During the course of a Pokémon's development, under certain circumstances specific to that Pokémon's species, it may '''evolve''' (Japanese: {{tt|進化|しんか}} ''shinka'') into a different Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[Elemental types|type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[nature]] and [[EVs]], as well as {{pkmn2|shiny|alternate coloration}}, are preserved.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}}, make a Pokémon egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will ultimately be able to follow only one evolutionary path.

===Stages of evolution===
Pokémon can be divided into different evolutionary stages, based on where they appear in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the [[TCG]]'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now consider it to be more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remains the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[main series]] are a part of, including {{p|Pikachu}}. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|List of Pokémon that do not evolve}}
The least common type of evolution family, of course, is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary event are, of course, [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 42 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-legendary Pokémon that do not evolve.

It must be noted that not belonging to an evolutionary family is not indicative of strength, or a lack thereof. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Pinsir}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving seven different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} evolves into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves. The most common of them is evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Other methods include leveling up when [[happiness]] has reached a high level, [[trade|trading]] the Pokémon, trading the Pokémon [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]], leveling up holding an item, or even using an [[evolutionary stone]] on it. Additionally, holding an [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon from evolving.

Most commonly, Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both be by [[evolutionary stone]] or by [[held item|holding an item]] and [[trade|trading]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

Some Pokémon have different evolutions depending on their gender. Usually, only one gender of the species will evolve, and the other will remain at the unevolved form. For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all.

==In the anime==
[[File:Branched evolution.png|thumb|200px|right|Gloom's evolutionary line as shown in the anime]]
In the anime, evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolution nor [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, [[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place. When a {{p|Beedrill}} attacked Ash's {{p|Metapod}}, it caused a crack to appear on its shell, which {{AP|Butterfree}} came out of.

Additionally, a difference can be noted in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. There are also several instances of an evolutionary trigger being incorrect, such as ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' where several {{p|Exeggcute}} evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}} without the aid of a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} (Although it should be noted that the episode in question implies that there was radiation emitted by Leaf Stones buried underground that caused the evolution to be triggered). Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}. In addition, Pokémon can sometimes choose not to evolve, even if they evolve by a 'natural' method such as leveling up. It appears that evolution has emotional implications for Pokémon - some Pokémon, such as Team Rocket's {{MTR}}, dislike their evolved forms, while others such as Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} simply want to prove they can be powerful without evolving. Conversely, when Pokémon do evolve, this can often be linked with an experience that causes them to mature emotionally or deal with an emotional issue, such as when the {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' evolved, or the {{p|Paras}} in ''[[EP044|The Problem With Paras]]''. Poochyena, for some reason, had an aversion to using the move {{m|Bite}}, while Paras was extremely timid and weak in battle. Both of them evolved shortly after overcoming these issues.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Evolution (TCG)}}
Evolution in the TCG functions similarly in many aspects to that of the games, however, there is no different requirement that needs to be met depending on the Pokémon species to be evolved to move on to the next stage.

There are four different stages of evolution in the TCG, Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, Stage 1 Pokémon, and Stage 2 Pokémon. Of these, only Baby and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on each and every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the four generations of cards.

Within the deck and discard pile, only Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards are considered to be "evolution cards" for the purpose of a Trainer card or Pokémon Power which allows them to be searched for. In play, a Basic Pokémon card can be considered an evolution card if it is evolved from its Baby stage.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to {{wp|evolution|actual evolution}}. This is because real life evolution happens to a population rather than to individuals, and happens over much larger time scales than in the Pokémon world. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it is mentioned that Pokémon evolution is an entirely separate phenomenon from the normal process of evolution, and is a mysterious ability exclusive to Pokémon that is still not fully understood.

However, this does not necessarily mean that evolution in real-world terms does not exist in the Pokémon world; the existence of "extinct" Pokémon backs this up.

'''Paul's Electabuzz''' (Japanese: '''シンジのエレブー ''' ''Shinji's Eleboo'') is the first of [[Paul]]'s revealed Pokémon. It is voiced by 三宅健太 ''[[Kenta Miyake]]'' in both Japanese and English.

==History==
[[Image:Paul's Elekid.png|As an {{p|Elekid}}|thumb|left]]
Paul had it as an {{p|Elekid}} during his first appearance in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He used it in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. After a fierce battle, both Pokémon fainted and the battle ended up in a draw. In Paul's ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' flashback, it was seen with Paul shortly before he caught {{AP|Chimchar}}.

Paul also used it in his battle against [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', where it defeated his {{p|Geodude}} and {{TP|Roark|Cranidos|Rampardos}}.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle where it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Chimchar]] against Dawn's {{AP|Buizel}} and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Heracross}}.

It was revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' that [[Paul]] had left Electabuzz with his brother, [[Reggie]], for {{pkmn|training}}. It was here, [[DP069|three episodes later]] that both Electabuzz and [[Ash's Pikachu]] settled their differences and became friendlier towards one another.

Electabuzz rejoined Paul after the events of ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', to have the upper hand in the battle against the [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader. In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]''
it was seen helping Paul battle a wild {{p|Drapion}}. It still seemed to have friendly feelings towards Pikachu.

It appeared again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', where it took part in Paul's battle against [[Pyramid King Brandon]]. It was defeated by [[Brandon's Regis#Regirock|Brandon's Regirock]].

It re-appeared during the [[full battle]] that Paul had with Ash in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. It mainly used {{m|Light Screen}} in the battle which provided protection for his other Pokémon. This helped [[Paul's Honchkrow]] and {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} against [[Ash's Grotle]] and {{p|Chimchar}} respectively. It usually was recalled after doing so. It only truly battled [[Ash's Monferno]] in a close match but Electabuzz finally won the match for Paul.

Electabuzz's most recent anime appearance was in [[DP163]], where Paul unsuccessfully used it to try and save [[Barry's Empoleon]], [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] from one of [[Team Rocket]]'s machines.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Paul's Electabuzz.
* It is one of the two Pokémon Paul has that is voiced by Kenta Miyake, the other being {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}.
* It is the second known Pokémon of Paul's to evolve and the only one of Paul's Pokémon to evolve onscreen.
* Along with {{p|Lairon}}, Electabuzz is the only one of Paul's Pokémon not to have fully evolved.
* Electabuzz seems to be the principal rival for [[Ash's Infernape]]. They were both introduced together and used in Paul's first gym battle, then Electabuzz evolved from Elekid in a double battle partnered with Chimchar, who had only just joined Ash's team. Later, Electabuzz defeated the newly evolved Monferno in the final round of Ash and Paul's full battle in [[DP132]], and was present for Monferno's final evolution in [[DP163]].

'''Cradily''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユレイドル''' ''Yuradle'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lileep}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
The Cradily has some markings on its skin that looks like its eyes, which are actually the yellow dots on the black part of its head. It also has eight pink tentacles around its neck. Its body is a lump with four tubes. Cradily is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from a {{p|Lileep}} resurrected from a [[Claw and Root Fossils|Root Fossil]].

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

====Special abilities====
Cradily's strength is far greater than that of its pre-evolution. It is able to roam the seafloor in search of its prey, and upon finding it, Cradily uses its massive tentacles to grip and then eat its prey. Its tentacles secrete corrosive {{m|acid}} that it uses to melt its prey.

===Behavior===
Cradily moves around the seafloor with stealth in search of its prey. It is a powerful hunter, and is very vicious to its prey while preparing to eat it. It makes its nests in shallow waters of the warm seas.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Before its extinction, Cradily inhabited environments adjacent to bodies of water, such as seas or oceans, particularly in warm areas. Its personal nest was often made in the shoals of the sea. It was a common sight on beaches when the tides receded.

To prevent being washed out by rough tides, Cradily utilized its body as an anchor.

[[Claw and Root Fossils|Root Fossils]], from which this Pokémon is resurrected, have been found in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Cradily appear to have once been carnivores seeing as it both hunted and ingested prey found in seafloors or its immediate surroundings using its eight tentacles.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cradily Energy Ball.png|210px|Cradily using {{m|Energy Ball}}|thumb]]
Cradily was first seen in ''[[AG102|Where's Armaldo?]]'' at the Island of Fossil Pokémon.

One made another cameo in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' on the [[Tree of Beginning]].

Cradily also made a small appearance in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' with an {{p|Armaldo}}.

* Cradily's evolution line is one of two Grass-type lines that are not in the {{egg3|Plant}}. The other is the {{p|Treecko}} line.
* Cradily's colors on its {{shiny2}} sprite resembles its {{p|Lileep|pre-evolution}}'s colors.
* Despite being made of the two types with the highest amount of weaknesses, {{T|Grass}} and {{T|Rock}}, it has only four weaknesses.
* Cradily has the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Grass-type Pokémon.
* Cradily is the only Pokémon with Pokéthlon stats where each one is a different level.
===Origin===
It may be based on {{wp|crinoid}}s, or sea lilies, marine animals related to {{wp|seastar}}s which were once believed to be extinct.
====Name origin====
Cradily's name may be a combined form of ''cradle'' and ''{{wp|lily}}''. It also might be a combination of ''crag'' and ''lily''. Finally, it is possible that it is a combination of ''crazily'' and ''lily''.

''Yuradle'' appears to be a combination of 百合 ''yuri'', lily, and ''cradle''.

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot today. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{Bulbapedia|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of Userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Just wait until tomorrow, ok? Thanks! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 05:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace to much for now. Please do not edit your page any more for now, as it is hard on the server. Thank you, ---- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

==Red Links==
you cant use official templates and leave spaces blank, it creates red links that appear in the wanted pages. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

==Stop.==
Do not edit the <code>User:</code> namespace any more. In the past, we were not allowed to edit our pages ''at all'' because of users over-editing their pages. If you edit your page any more today then the privilege for you to edit it will be removed. ---- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

==Masters Battle is up!==
Well, the title is pretty self-explanitory, isn't it?

After about a month of battling and procrastination, I finally worked up enough data and nerve to post my first major contribution to Bulbapedia, a detailed explanation of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]'s [[Masters Battle]]. It includes trainer data and my own battle tips.

I honestly feel that Bulbapedia has not really touched enough on [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] yet. This will be my main focus in contributing to this site. I will mainly add to articles or create articles related to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

[[User:Halcyon VI|Halcyon VI]] 07:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:Great job. However you epically failed at {{bp|link template}} usage (which is utterly ''required'') and '''''we're not a game guide'''''. No battle tips. Got it? Don't mean to be mean, just to the point. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 07:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

==New Userpage Format==
Hate it or love it, here it is...

I'm almost embarrased to admit that I've been working on this for a while now, this talk page entry included... The {{tt|Sandbox|Page not created}} doesn't exist because I'd rather create it when I'm actually going to use it. Most of the text-based stuff from the previous version has been moved to the [[User:Halcyon VI/History|Trainer History]] section. If there is any problems at all with this, please tell me without actually changing anything.

Thanks to [[User:Kogoro|Kogoro]] for the [[User:Kogoro/Template|page template!]] It's awesome!

--[[User:Halcyon VI|Halcyon VI]] 01:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

== Stop ==

i gave you a final warning to stop editing your userpage back in February. over the summer, you actually did a decent amount of edits, but recently, you abused the userspace quite a lot. no more userspace edits for a while, or your privileges will be removed. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 19:29, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

=={{P|Raikou}}==
Your edit to Raikou was nothing! You didn't do anything. If you're trying to look like you do constructive edits and not just mess around with your userpafe, that's not the way to go. [[User:Tyro|'''Tyro!''']] [[Special:Random|Talk to me!]] 07:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン ''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} via {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
This fox-like Pokémon is covered with a thick, luxurious golden-white fur, as well as having nine tails, each of which is tipped with orange. They also have a fluffy crest atop their heads and a similar ruff around their necks. Ninetales have gleaming red eyes that are said to give them the power of mind control. They can also live up to one thousand years.

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

====Special abilities====
Ninetales are based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese mythology, giving them abilities to wield {{type2|Ghost}} attacks such as {{m|Confuse Ray}}. They are also very vengeful Pokémon and have been known to curse those who mistreat them. Ninetales are highly intelligent Pokémon that understand human speech. Many legends surround this Pokémon, one of which stating that Ninetales was born when 9 saints were united and reincarnated as this Pokémon.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon's extreme intelligence lends to what most consider {{type2|Psychic}} characteristics, though Ninetales has never officially been described as anything other than a {{type2|Fire}}. It also seems to hold grudges very easily and will curse humans and Pokémon alike if they touch one of its tails.

===Habitat===

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} both tried catching the same Ninetales. In the scuffle for its Poké Ball, Blue managed to grab it first.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]], the curse that Ninetales can conjure is one of the main points of the plot.

==Trivia==
* Ninetales's name was originally spelled as "Nine Tales".
* Ninetales's name is misspelled as "Ninetails" in the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]].
* Despite what many of its [[Pokédex]] descriptions say, it cannot learn the move {{m|Curse}} other than by [[TM03]] in [[Generation II]]. Even still, due to its typing, Ninetales can only alter its stats with Curse, rather than place one on the target.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Ninetales is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Primeape}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.
* Despite what numerous Pokédex entries imply, Ninetales cannot learn {{m|Revenge}}.
* {{p|Vulpix}} and Ninetales are the only two {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon species where females outnumber males.
* Ninetales has been inconsistently shown with either solid yellow tails or yellow tails with orange tips. The solid yellow tails appear in its original art as well as its [[Generation I]], [[Generation II|II]], and [[Generation III|III]] sprites while the orange-tipped ones appear in its revamped art, its model in [[Pokémon Stadium]], and its [[Generation IV]] sprites.

===Origin===
Ninetales, like {{p|Vulpix}}, are based on foxes. However, in Japan there are certain legends concerning foxes, or ''{{wp|kitsune}}'', as they are known there. One such legend which relates to Ninetales the most is how many-tailed foxes can breathe fire, create illusions, and have extremely long lifespans. After living a long time, these creatures take on spirit forms, which may be the reason why these two related Pokémon can learn {{type2|Ghost}} moves.

In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐, the nine-tailed fox, which is a fox of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold. It is said to have the power of infinite vision.
====Name origin====
Its name simply refers to the nine tails it has, although "tales" is used in place of "tails", perhaps to reference the many myths in Japan that it is based on. ''Kyūkon'' can be taken to mean 旧恨, old grudge, although it is worth noting that the first syllable spells out 九 ''kyū'', nine and ''kon'' from the Japanese onomatopoeia ''konkon'' - the sound that foxes make. Furthermore, a コンロ ''konro'' is a gas burner stove. Also, an alternate reading of the Japanese word for fox, 狐 ''kitsune'', is ''ko''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Vulnona - From ''{{wp|Vulpes}}'' and ''nona'' (Latin for "the ninth" with a female ending).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Feunard - From ''feu'' (fire) and ''renard'' (fox).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 나인테일 ''Nainteil''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 九尾 ''Jiu Wei'' - "Nine tails".

Pokémon-X (webcomic)

2010-03-07T21:57:11Z

Tyro: Undo revision 1029996 by MusicInfernape (Talk We REALLY don't need every single joke described in the article.)

{{Samename|CD|Pokémon X}}
----
'''Pokémon-X''' is a sprite-based webcomic by '''Recon Dye''' that follows the adventures of {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}} and [[Wally]] around the island of [[Hoenn]]. It started being based on the storyline of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} up until the appearance of [[Scott]] after the events in [[Slateport City]]'s Oceanic Museum, when it set {{game|Emerald}} as its base.

The comic is usually updated three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The first issue was published on June 2, 2003, and the most recent panel was published in December, 2009. However, the date the most recent comic was published does not match the actual date of publication. Recon Dye has stated that this is because he lists the date as the date he intended the comic to be published. School and other activities caused him to fall several months behind schedule, and he is attempting to catch up as much as possible.

Over this six-year period, more than 900 comics have been published. The comic is aimed at mature audiences due to its use of moderate language and mature situations. Recon Dye uses sprites from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to make character sprites and wild Pokémon battles, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] sprites for Pokémon during trainer battles (though he started off using the regular sprites from Ruby and Sapphire, along with a few custom sprites).

It is hinted that the Pokémon-X is a creature or an item. There may also be a third antagonist.

==Plot==
The plot is largely the same as that of {{v2|Emerald}}: a new boy in town saves a [[Pokémon professor]] from a wild Pokémon and is given a Pokémon as a reward. He meets the professor's child and travels around the region battling [[Gym Leader]]s. A friendly rivalry is struck between the two. Along the way, a third child is met, and two rival, villainous teams battle for control of the region. The trio of Trainers travel to each location in the same order as in the games, and with the same intents and purposes (deliver letter for [[Steven Stone|Steven]], take Wally to {{to|Verdanturf}}, etc.). The most recent chapter of the comic has Brendan preparing to challenge [[Flannery]] in [[Lavaridge Town]].

There are, naturally, some key differences from the games. Each of the characters has a unique personality, such as Brendan seeming dull and dim-witted at many points. Brendan and May travel together, and Wally is part of the group for longer than he is in the games.

==Characters==
===Brendan Richards===
[[File:BrendanWiki.png|thumb|right|200px|Brendan Richards]]

Brendan is based on the male playable character of Ruby and Sapphire. He has recently moved to [[Littleroot Town]] from {{ci|Ecruteak}}, [[Johto]]. As such, he is familiar with the Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|native to his region]], but not the species that inhabit his new home. May is often in disbelief when he mentions the Pokémon not found in the [[Hoenn]] region. After using {{p|Torchic}} to rescue [[Professor Birch]] from an angry {{p|Poochyena}}, he deems him worthy enough to travel the land and complete the [[Pokédex]].

Brendan is believed to be fairly dim-witted, although he has knowledge about certain sciences like thermodynamics, and can often say things of very high intelligence. Although he is the hero, he is driven by selfish desires and meager rewards. He does however seem to care about his Pokémon and uses them with some good strategic plans.

Brendan travels through Hoenn with Birch's daughter, May and the sickly Wally. He competes for [[Badge]]s at various [[Gym]]s along the way. His motivation for this is to become rich and famous (with a couple of chicks on the side). He has been smitten with May since first seeing her topless in an early comic.

His Pokémon include, but are not limited to: Rocky, a {{p|Poochyena}} (later {{p|Mightyena}}) that was infected with two strains of the [[Pokérus]], making him [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] and giving him the ability to speak; a {{p|Torchic}} which evolved into {{p|Combusken}} in the [[Dewford Gym|Dewford City Gym]]; a {{p|Hariyama}} (nicknamed [[List of in-game trades#Ruby and Sapphire|Makit]]); a {{p|Zubat}} which evolved into a {{p|Golbat}}; and a {{p|Wurmple}} who evolved into {{p|Cascoon}} in Brendan's first double battle and eventually evolved into {{p|Dustox}}. While Torchic was Brendan's [[starter Pokémon|first]], Rocky is his strongest Pokémon and best friend.

Brendan also seems to hate {{p|Geodude}} ever since he challenged the [[Rustboro Gym|Rustboro City Gym]] as every trainer in the gym had at least one Geodude and was angry when May caught a Geodude in [[Granite Cave]] and battled him with it.

Brendan's surname is not given in any canon media; as such "Richards" is an invention of Recon Dye. He states in a note accompanying one comic that he chose it because it is a fairly common name.

===May Birch===
May is based on the female player character of {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. As Brendan takes the role of the main protagonist, May assumes a position similar to that of the games' [[rival#Pseudo Rival|pseudo-rival]].

May is the daughter of [[Professor Birch]], and is traveling with Brendan so they can complete their Pokédex. She is shown to be handy with technology, and manages to link the three Pokédex of the traveling party so that they can achieve their goal easily. She dislikes Brendan's immaturity, and can be seen as the sensible leader of the group. May also hacked Brendan's and Wally's Pokédex so that she gets the money they earn after they win a battle.

May started with a {{p|Mudkip}} that later evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} in [[Slateport City]] after defeating a [[Team Aqua Grunt]]. Her other Pokémon include {{p|Aron}} (which she caught in Granite Cave), {{p|Whismur}} (which she caught at {{rt|116}}), {{p|Sableye}} (which she got by trading an Electrike with Wally), {{p|Linoone}}, which evolved from a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, which evolved into a {{p|Silcoon}} that eventually evolved into {{p|Beautifly}}, and {{p|Geodude}} (which she also caught in Granite Cave), much to Brendan's dismay.

May usually tries to keep Brendan from challenging gyms, although the badge is later revealed to be required to do something the group has to do, such as {{m|Rock Smash}} being required to break the rocks in [[Rusturf Tunnel]] so that Brendan and May can go back to {{to|Littleroot}}, only to be given another task.

===Wally Anderson===
Wally was first encountered outside [[Petalburg City]], just as [[Wally]] is encountered in the games. A frail and sickly child, Wally has an obsession with the color green, and any Pokémon that have green on it, such as {{p|Nincada}}, as well. The biggest reason for his sickness is his mother who thinks he is sick when he isn't. He travels with May and Brendan so that he can get to Verdanturf Town where the air is clearer and healthier.

In one of Wally's flashbacks, which May and Brendan didn't really listen to, on [[Mr. Briney]]'s ship, he drowned and was apparently rescued by {{p|Rayquaza|a green Pokémon}}.

After finally arriving in Verdanturf, Brendan, May and Rocky left him there. He was then met again in Mauville City, where he decided to travel with them again.

His starter Pokémon, given to him by May, was a {{p|Treecko}} (which was actually meant for Monty) which later evolved into {{p|Grovyle}} on {{rt|110}} after defeating a {{p|Zigzagoon}}, but the first Pokémon he caught was a {{p|Ralts}} (which, like in the games, Brendan helped him catch), which later evolved into {{p|Kirlia}}. He also has {{p|Shroomish}} (which he caught in [[Petalburg Woods]]), {{p|Lombre}} (which he caught at {{rt|114}}), {{p|Oddish}} (which he got in a trade with Brendan for a Mawile he caught in Granite Cave after spending many hours looking for it), and {{p|Electrike}} (which he got in a trade with May for a Sableye he caught in Granite Cave).

===Rocky===
The fourth member of the traveling party is Rocky, Brendan's Mightyena.

Rocky was the Poochyena that terrorized Professor Birch at {{rt|101}}, and was later saved by Brendan at the top of [[Route 103]]. While recovering at a Pokémon Center, he was infected with two strains of the [[Pokérus]] thanks to [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. This gave him the ability to talk, above average strength, and the ability to use Random, a move that behaves like a combination of {{m|Metronome}} and {{m|Mimic}}.

Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Rocky has an irrational fear of being inside a [[Poké Ball]] and would rather be covered in vomit than return to his Ball.

Rocky also hates {{p|Wingull}} because of [[Peeko]] barfing on him on the way back from {{to|Dewford}} and didn't like it when Brendan caught one while fishing on Mr. Briney's ship and because he had to battle it.

Rocky evolved into a Mightyena following a battle with [[Team Magma]] in [[Granite Cave]], where he single-handedly defeated the villainous team without his Trainer, though he imagined that Brendan was there.

When the group battled the [[Winstrate Family]], Vicki, the oldest member of the family, had bad eyesight and thought that Rocky was a trainer and battled him. Rocky battled using the same trick that he used in [[Granite Cave]]. Throughout the battle, the imaginary Brendan kept saying things that the real Brendan wouldn't normally say in battles, such as saying a different Pokémon's name, or even talking in a different language. Despite these mishaps, Rocky managed to win the battle.

===Recon Dye===
Recon claims he is the author in human form. He has super powers and commonly abuses people. He is usually the main character of special event strips and has many jobs, such as a truck driver. He is Wally's doctor and when he told Wally's mom that Wally had underdeveloped lungs, she started overreacting saying that Wally was going to die, no matter how many times Recon told here it wasn't fatal. When Wally grew sicker, Recon knew that it was because of his psychotic mother. This later led Recon to develop a plan to get Wally far away from Littleroot Town.

===Minor characters===
[[Professor Birch]], his assistants, [[Mr. Briney]], [[Steven Stone]] and Brendan's parents have all appeared in the comic, as have the first four [[Gym Leaders]]. [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]] take antagonistic roles. An original character, named Monty, was originally intended to be the Trainer of the third starter Pokémon. He has a somewhat stalker-esque relationship with May, which is why she gave Treecko to Wally instead and becomes Professor Birch's assistant. He learned about this when Brendan had an interview, making him now hate May and Brendan. May also persuaded Wally to hate Monty by telling him he hates green. Monty is also revealed to have stolen 4 Pokémon from Professor Birch and register them under his ID.

Jim Gui is also a minor character, his name being an obvious sound-alike to the name he prefers to be called, Gym Guy, which in itself is an obvious reference to the [[Caretaker|unnamed character]] seen in every gym, whom gives out advice to the player.

*[http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/cast.html Full list of characters].

==Humor==
Much of the humor in ''Pokémon X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games. Whenever Brendan mentions Johto, or any of its native Pokémon that aren't in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], May, Wally and most other characters seem confused and appear to have not have heard of it (emphasizing the incompatibility between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}). It also explains what happens to fainted Pokémon and who places the hidden [[item]]s on routes, both times at Brendan's expense. Brendan is also known to hold an item in the air while it glows (much to the dismay of anyone looking at him at the time) and a mysterious voice appears to tell what he obtained, much like in {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}.

The humor also seems to highlight things within the game, such as the mispelling of {{p|Mawile}}'s name in its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} Pokédex entry. This was shown after [[Wally]]'s encounter with a Mawile in [[Granite Cave]], when Brendan checks out the Pokémon's entry with his own Pokédex.

==Trivia==
* Recon Dye's ex-girlfriend, '''BAM''', sometimes draws guest strips.
* On November 3rd, 2006, Recon published [http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/d/20061103.html a comic] where, using different enviroments and overworld people sprites from Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby/Sapphire]]/[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], he recreated several scenes of the TV series ''{{wp|Lost (TV series)|Lost}}'', which he described as ''"a show I ''[he]'' like''[s]'' to watch"''.
* While Brendan and May are in [[Mauville City]], he suggests that Wally (who's trying to catch an {{p|Oddish}} in [[Route 110]]) may be trapped in a tunnel covered in fog and that they would need to get the badge from [[Mauville Gym|the city's gym]] to enable the use of a [[Defog (move)|fog clearing]] [[HM]] and find him, to what May replies that it is the stupidest thing she has ever heard (due to the move not existing then). Recon stated that he knew that there is a Defog HM in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] when he made the comic.

'''Seviper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハブネーク''' ''Habunake'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon. It is well-known for its ongoing feud against {{p|Zangoose}}.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seviper are fairly large snake Pokémon that are usually depicted scrunched up like an accordion. They are mostly black in color, but have several markings on their body. Seviper have yellow hexagon markings that run from their head to their tail, small yellow bumps where they touch the ground (this is presumably to help with movement) and various purple scar-like marks. Seviper has several different weapons it can use in battle, such as elongated red fangs that protrude from the mouth and a partially red-colored, bladelike tail that it can use to stab or swipe. Seviper also have fierce red eyes that make it able to use attacks like {{m|Glare}}.

It is theorized whether Seviper are distant relatives of the {{p|Ekans}} line, considering they are both snake Pokémon, can breed together and have similar behavioral patterns.

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

====Special abilities====
Seviper can create a horrible poison that it can channel through either the tail or fangs, quickly dispatching prey.

Seviper is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Poison Tail}} through leveling up.

===Behavior===
Seviper are bitter enemies with {{P|Zangoose}}, willing to battle them to the bitter end. It is suggested that this feud has lasted for quite some time. It sharpens its swordlike tail on hard rocks for battle, and may hide in tall grass and strike unwary prey with its {{m|Poison Fang|venomous fangs}}.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Unknown, though this Pokémon is found on {{rt|114}} and {{rt|208}}, which suggests its habitat consists of grassy plains with sparse trees and mountains. However, in Pal Park Seviper are found in the forest section. They live on places such as plains and forest to search for prey.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Seviper is a carnivore, hiding in tall grass and striking unawary prey with its venomous fangs.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jessie_Seviper.png|thumb|336px|Seviper in the anime]]
{{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} first appeared in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. [[Jessie]] was so impressed by how it beat up [[Ash's Treecko]], that she just had to capture it. After it bit off a chunk of her hair accidentally, she beat it up with her own two hands. She then captured it in a [[Poké Ball]].

The {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Pike}} Queen {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} owns a {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}}. She used it to fight off [[Team Rocket]] and to battle [[Ash's Donphan]] in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]''.

In ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears]]'', the rivalry between both Seviper and Zangoose was highlighted upon a couple of times during the episode. [[Jessie's Seviper]] had picked up on the three other Zangoose that were making their way towards the team. It had immediately reacted and proceeded to do battle with them. Once learning of the fact that they would be fighting till the death, [[Jessie]] had tried to recall Seviper several times, though each time, Seviper would break back out of its Poké Ball to continue fighting.

==Trivia==
* In the [[AG077|most infamous]] [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]], Seviper was incorrectly claimed as an evolution of {{p|Arbok}}.
* Despite being known as {{p|Zangoose}}'s worst enemy, they are both in the {{egg|Ground}} egg group, meaning they can breed.
* The rivalry between Seviper and Zangoose is based on the relationship between the {{wp|mongoose}} and the {{wp|king cobra}} - the cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world, and the mongoose is one of its few predators.
* Seviper and Zangoose's [[signature move]]s are {{m|Poison Tail}} and {{m|Crush Claw}}, respectively, and they are version-exclusive Pokémon. {{p|Ekans}} can also learn Poison Tail, and {{p|Sandshrew}} can also learn Crush Claw, and they are also version-exclusive Pokémon.
* Seviper is the only pure {{type2|Poison}} to not have an evolutionary relative, and one of two Poison-types in total to not have an evolutionary relative ({{p|Qwilfish}} is the other).
* Seviper is one of the three Poison-types in the Dragon-egg group, the other two being {{p|Ekans}} and its evolution {{p|Arbok}}, all based on snakes.
* Seviper is mentioned in every single one of Zangoose's Pokédex entries. However, Seviper's Pokédex entries fail to mention Zangoose in both {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
*The pattern on the [[Symbol|Luck Symbol]] seems to be based off of Seviper's diamond patterns.
* Seviper is one of three Pokémon to learn every offensive tail-based move, learning {{m|Poison Tail}}, {{m|Aqua Tail}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} by level-up, move tutor and TM respectively.
* Seviper and Zangoose have the same base stat total, 458. They are the only two Pokémon to have this amount.

===Origin===
Seviper is based on a viper or other venomous fanged {{wp|snake}}, like an adder.

====Name origin====
Seviper's name is a combination of ''sever'' and ''{{wp|viper}}''. It may also be a combination of severe and viper.

''Habunake'' is a combination of 波布 ''{{wp|habu}}'' and English ''snake''.

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vibrava}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Trapinch}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large, light green, insect-like dragon Pokémon. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three green rhombus shapes at the end. Flygon has a pair of green rhombus-shaped wings, toeless hind legs and three-clawed hands. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae.

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

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to kick up {{M|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{M|Earthquake}} or {{M|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert. It's also known as "the spirit of the desert" due to the sound its wings make in sandstorms. When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Drew's_Flygon.jpg|thumb|right|Drew's Flygon]]
Flygon first appears in a flashback of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''.

Another Flygon was in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It helped save {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} from [[Butler]].

[[Drew]]'s Flygon made its debut in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''.

A Flygon also appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG123|Flygon|Ash's Pokédex|Flygon, the Mystic Pokémon. Flygon is the evolved form of Vibrava. It's known as the desert spirit because of the song-like voice that eminates from the {{M|sandstorm}}s it kicks up.}}

==Trivia==
* Flygon and its pre-evolution are the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not {{type2|Flying}} and can learn {{m|Fly}}, with the exception of {{p|Smeargle}}.
:* Flygon and Vibrava are also the only Pokémon that can learn Fly that can also know {{m|Dig}} without aid of a TM (other than {{p|Smeargle}}).
* As of {{v2|Platinum}}, Flygon and {{p|Vibrava}} are also the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not {{type2|Fire}} nor {{type2|Flying}} and can learn {{m|Heat Wave}}, with the exception of {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Flygon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
* Flygon is commonly mistaken as a psuedo-legendary Pokémon, due to the fact that it is seen as incredibly strong in the anime, is the final stage in a 3 part evolutionary line and is a dragon type, considered by many to be the best type in the games. This is not the case because it does not have base stat total of 600, and does not have Attack as its highest stat (although it is tied for highest with Speed).

===Origin===
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}, also called "sand dragon".

====Name origin====
Flygon's name is a ''{{wp|portmanteau}}'' of ''fly'' and ''dragon'' or a rearrangement of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.

==In other languages==

The '''Johto''' region (Japanese: '''ジョウト地方''' ''Jōto-chihō'') is a large area located west of [[Kanto]]. Johto and Kanto are part of a large landmass, with everything west of [[Indigo Plateau]] falling in the Johto region. Though it is unlike Kanto in that its name is not directly based on that of a region of Japan, [[Junichi Masuda]] has come forward in his director's column naming the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都); this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]].

First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 [[Pokémon]] that were not present in [[Generation I|previous games]]. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}, players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are also the names of plants or things related to plants.

==Geography==
The geography of Johto is much like that of Kanto. It is marked by a mountain range in the north and a vast sea to the south.

==Culture==
===History===
After Johto was created, alongside [[Kanto]], by {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} at the beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}, Pokémon no one had seen before began inhabiting the region. 1500 years before [[Generation I]], the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]] of Johto. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the English alphabet, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. Approximately 700 years before Generation II, the twin [[Tin Tower|Tin]] and [[Brass Tower]]s were constructed in [[Ecruteak City]], and {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} perched at their tops. The two lived at the tops of the towers until, 550 years later, Brass Tower burned to the ground, killing three Pokémon trapped inside. Lugia fled to the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh, after resurrecting the Pokémon as the [[legendary beasts]] {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, flew off in search of a pure-hearted Trainer.

===Connection to Japan===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world}}

Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan. This trait is most noticeable in its geography; however, the Kansai influence also defines the culture in Johto. Kansai residents are known for their attitudes against typical Japanese standards, mostly due to the historical rivalry between the region, once the major seat of political power, and the real {{wp|Kantō region}} where Tokyo, the current capital, is located. The soil of the Kansai region is rich, unlike the volcanic Kantō region, and this is perhaps referenced by the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[berry]] crop in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]. People from Kansai are considered to be more relaxed. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most important areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Certain cultural aspects of the Johto region are deep-seated in Japanese history, as well. Kyoto, which is probably the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan. Kyoto and its many historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens and architecture have been preserved. This connection to history is reflected in many areas of Johto. However, Goldenrod City (like Osaka) is typically modern.

==In Generation IV==
Johto returns in [[Generation IV]]'s {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} much as [[Kanto]] returned in [[Generation III]]'s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, with its graphics boosted to the current level on the [[Nintendo DS]]. All areas from its Generation II iteration return, and several new areas are included, such as the [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], with new [[Route|Routes]] {{rtn|47}} and {{rtn|48}} leading to it. Like in Generation III Kanto, a special image of a landmark is shown briefly when it is entered. Other than this, Johto remains for the most part much the same as it was.

==Trivia==
*Johto is the only main region in which {{p|Pikachu}} is not found in the wild, though Pikachu are available in [[Generation II]] when the player travels to [[Kanto]] later in the game.
*It is the only region in which [[Ash Ketchum]] did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
*Johto is the only region without:
**a [[Cycling Road]]
**a Pokémon burial ground
**its own set of [[Fossil|fossil Pokémon]]
**its own [[Victory Road]]
**an autonomous [[Pokémon League]] (shared with Kanto)
**its own storage system developer (Bill also developed that of Kanto)
**its own villainous team (Team Rocket is shared with Kanto)
**prior to Generation IV, Johto was also the only region without a [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|true regional Pokédex]].
*This lack is mostly due to the fact that Generation II is very dependent on [[Generation I]], and as the latter half of the game's storyline takes place in Kanto, there was no need to repeat many things.
*Johto is the only region where the first Gym doesn't specialize in {{type2|Rock}}s (likely due to Kanto's [[Brock]] doing so as there is no overlap in the two regions' Gyms). Despite this, Jasmine is said to have once used Rock-types.
*In Generation II and IV, between Johto and [[Kanto]], the Dark-type and the Ground-type are the only types not represented by an official Gym. [[Viridian City]], whose previous gym leader [[Giovanni]], had the Ground-type. However, when Giovanni left the gym after being defeated by [[Red (game)|Red]], he was replaced by [[Blue (game)|Blue]], who does not have a type specialty. [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon, making the Ground-type the only type to not have a [[gym leader]] or Elite Four member specialize in it in Johto and Kanto for Generation II and IV.
*Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from "[[Faraway place]]" when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]], much like Pokémon caught in a Platinum-exclusive location do when traded to Diamond or Pearl.
*Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land, and are likewise the only regions to add additional routes in their second appearances.
*Johto is the only main region in which the [[starter Pokémon]], throughout their evolutions, stay one [[type]] ([[Grass type|Grass]], [[Water type|Water]], and [[Fire type|Fire]]).

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Scyther resembles a primarily green, human-sized praying mantis with accents of cream coloration. It has large, blade-like forearms and a pair of cream-colored wings. Its head is reptilian rather than insect in shape, with three small points, and its feet possess three claws.
====Gender differences====
A female has a bigger abdomen.

====Special abilities====
Scyther's blade-like forearms have the power to {{m|Slash|slice}} through logs with a single blow. Scyther is also gifted with {{m|Agility|tremendous speed}} and can fly on very rare occasions. It is said it could use its scythes like a ninja.

Unlike most unevolved Pokémon, Scyther can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. This is likely because it is already a large Pokémon, and was at one time the final (and only) stage in its evolutionary line.

===Behavior===
Scyther are very intelligent, but tend to be quiet and reclusive in the wild. They tend to act like lions, and if a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will part away, and the challenger will take place as the new leader. When confronted by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, they will react very aggressively to defend themselves, but when trained, Scyther can be among the most loyal Pokémon on any trainer's team and hate to give-up.

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', it was revealed that Scyther and {{p|Electabuzz}} despise the color red, however, other Scyther seen in the anime have not been as aggressive when confronted by the color, such as [[Tracey's Scyther]].

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Scyther are often rare Pokémon that prefer an open grassland so they can live with other packs of Scyther. However, they have been known to take residence in secluded forests. Although rare, they are usually imported to live in it [[Safari Zone]]s. Their home range includes [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:ScytherPika.png|thumb|{{Tracey}}'s elderly {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}]]
===Major Appearances===
====[[Tracey's Scyther]]====
{{Tracey}} captured an elderly Scyther in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''. Even in its old age it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.

====Other====
Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the Kas and Yas Gyms of Dark Town. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]]. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race alongside Danny's {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Geodude}}.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against Ash in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. This Scyther was trained to block fire-type attacks by using {{m|Swords Dance}} as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to win in his Gym match.

===Minor Appearances===
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. When [[Team Rocket]] saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Scyther appeared during the [[Indigo League]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeanette Fisher]]. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] battled the Scyther, and despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur came out the winner.

A Scyther also appeared in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had used to chase after {{p|Celebi}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

Scyther was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

[[Luna]] from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a Scizor.

Scyther appeared in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' as a member of Team Razor Wind.

A Scyther was under the ownership of a girl in ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]'' and was partnered with a man's {{p|Koffing}} against {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Snap]]: A Scyther appears at two points on the Beach level. At the first point, the use of a pester ball will chase it out. (This also triggers a special Multiple Pikachu Photo opportunity.) The second point is close to the end of the Beach level.
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Scyther stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Pinsir}} called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close the player is to the white line on the log. Cutting anywhere above the log will cause the player to lose points.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Go-Rock Quads|Garret]] uses two Scyther to back up his {{p|Scizor}}.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Scyther is one of the members of Team Razor Wind.

==Trivia==
* Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke," a corruption of the word "strike."
* Of the first generation Bug Pokémon, Scyther ties with {{p|Venomoth}} for highest HP, ties with {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Parasect}} for highest Special Defense and has the highest Speed.
* Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, have the same base stat total: 500.
* According to the anime episode ''[[EP042|Showdown in Dark City]]'', Scyther hates the color red, the main color of its evolved form, but {{p|Scizor}} has never been shown to hate itself, which it would do if this were true.

===Origin===
It draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}}. However, its face is more similar to {{wp|dinosaur}}s, {{wp|dragon}}s, or various reptiles.
====Name origin====
Scyther's name is a reference to the scythe-like blades on its forearms. Its Japanese name may just be a reference to its deadly bladed strikes.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Sichlor - From ''sichel'' (sickle or scythe).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Insecateur - From ''insecte'' (insect) and ''sécateur'' (shears or clippers).

Breaking the fourth wall

{{incomplete}}
"'''Breaking the fourth wall'''" is a term that refers to a point where a character acknowledges that he or she is in a television show, and therefore, fictional. This term is different from an aside, where a character will seemingly detach for a moment to say something to the audience, then continue on as if nothing had happened.

There are several ways of breaking the fourth wall. They include referring to events that happened in said episode, stopping someone from performing a violent act or swearing by saying something along the lines of it being a children's show, responding to a character who is not physically present (e.g., the [[narrator]]), or getting people to buy merchandise of the subject in question.

== In the anime ==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the fourth wall has been broken numerous times. The most common characters to do this are [[Team Rocket]].

=== Episodes in which the fourth wall is broken ===
*''[[EP009|School of Hard Knocks]]'': While breaking up an argument between {{Ash}} and [[Misty]], [[Brock]] comments that they're running late and have to start the show.
*''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'': The [[narrator]] asks Ash to name his Pokémon, which Ash does.
*''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'': [[James]] says ''"Drat! We spent a whole episode cheering for the good guys!"
*''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]'': {{MTR}} complains that {{p|Gloom}}'s horrible stench must have melted his nose from his face. He then remembers, and points out to the audience, that the show's cartoonists never gave him one.
*''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'': [[Jessie]] remarks that their early arrival in the episode is based on the half-hour time constraint involving the show. Misty also orders the narrator not to congratulate her for "capturing" her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}.
*''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'': [[Team Rocket]] mentions that their evolved Pokémon are being shown "for the first time on TV".
*''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'': At the end, when the kids were saying good-bye, Ash thought they were asking for his signature, when they were really wanting Pikachu's. Ash answers with "Well, Pikachu IS the star."
*''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'': The last lines of [[Team Rocket Forever|Team Rocket's theme song]] are, ''"We want to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} we hope to do it soon / and when we do we'll be the new stars of this cartoon!"''
*''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'': When Jigglypuff draws on Misty's face she says she looks like a cartoon character, to which Ash responds, ''"Like that could ever happen!"''

*''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'': In the European Portuguese dub, James says, ''"{{tt|Acham que ao fim de tantos episódios ainda não sabemos o que é a electricidade!?|Do you think that by the end of so many episodes we still don't know what electricity is!?}}"''

*''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation]]'': While Jessie and James are walking, they're tired enough that their eyes are closed. When Jessie remarks that they wouldn't even know it if they were walking right off a cliff, James and Meowth agree that "it would be just like in those goofy cartoons". A cliff collapses beneath them right after saying so.
*''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'': Team Rocket references the "kids" (viewing audience).

* ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'': Team Rocket says at the end of the episode after {{p|Metagross}} blasts them off with {{m|Gyro Ball}}, "Hey kids, so dream with us!" Like ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]'' and ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', "Kids" refer to the viewers that are watching the show.
* ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'': When Meowth sees the Battle Pyramid he says, ''"Even flyboys need a scene change!"''
* ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'': When Team Rocket blasts off for the second time in the episode, James comments that it is, ''"...awfully early for a blast off!"''

=== Movies in which the fourth wall is broken ===

*''[[M02|The Power of One]]'': Slowking told Team Rocket that lots of people saw them risk their lives to save the world, then all four of them look at the audience and say hi. Earlier, when Team Rocket is saying the motto for the first time, Team Rocket proclaims that they're now on the big screen (since they've forgotten the events of the first movie). Ash then makes the quip of saying he'll "catch the motto on video".
*''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'': [[Team Rocket]] mentions that they would be "out of show business" if anything happened to {{Ash}} while helping to save him near the end of the movie. Meowth also asks Jessie earlier in the movie whether or not she thinks they will get a bigger part in [[M04|the next one]]. Ironically, they only had minor roles in that movie.
*''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'': [[James]] comments that "this feels like a sequel to a movie I missed". This is the sequel of the first movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', the events of which were erased from the characters' memories.
*''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'': The wall is broken twice with Meowth commenting that Diamond and Pearl are "[[Generation IV|good names for games]]" and later says, "let's get through this season first." when [[James]] says that they would find diamonds and pearls. These are both obvious references to the upcoming [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|games]] as well as the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|tenth season]].

'''Houndoom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘルガー''' ''Hellgar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Houndour}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Having the same coloration as its predecessor, {{p|Houndour}}, Houndoom has a taller build with a longer snout. There are two white bands at each of Houndoom's ankles instead of just one, as well as three bands on its back instead of two. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail that ends in an arrow-head and visible claws on its feet. It appears to have a collar with a small skull pendant and a pair of curled horns, but no discernible ears.

====Gender differences====
A female has smaller horns.

====Special abilities====
Houndoom's abilities are the same as Houndour's, only stronger. As a matter of fact, legends claim that anyone that gets burned by Houndoom's {{t|Fire}} attacks will never be healed and that Houndoom's {{m|howl}}ing was once claimed to be the call of the {{wp|Grim Reaper}}. Its fire comes from toxins burning in its gut, this also gives its fire a foul odor.

===Behavior===
Houndoom are generally very protective, alert, head strong, intelligent, and very focused. They can be overly aggressive, but only to protect themselves, their young, their territory, or their owner. However, when properly trained, they can be extremely loyal, loving, and caring Pokémon, as well as very good pets. In a Houndoom pack, the Houndoom with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Houndoom choose their leader by fighting amongst themselves.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]

Houndoom live in very dark woods. Due to their black skin tone, they easily blend in at night. They may also appear near volcanic areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Houndoom is a predatory Pokémon that preys on smaller mammalian Pokémon. It hunts with the Houndour and Houndoom in its pack.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Houndoom in the anime.PNG|thumb|200px|Houndoom in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Houndoom first appeared in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. When [[Misty's Togepi]] got separated from {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}}, it came across a Houndoom that was delivering a package. Houndoom took Togepi back to Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]].

===Minor appearances===
A [[Pokémon poacher]] was using a Houndoom alongside a {{p|Scyther}} to chase {{p|Celebi}} at the beginning of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

{{jo|Harrison}} used a Houndoom against Ash during the [[Silver Conference]].

In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'' it was used by [[Team Magma]] in [[Oldale Town]].

A Houndoom was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

[[Joshua (coordinator)|Joshua]] used a Houndoom in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest during ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''.

'''Ludicolo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルンパッパ''' ''Runpappa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lombre}} via {{evostone|Water Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Lotad}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ludicolo is a mixture of a pineapple and a duck (or possibly a platypus). Ludicolo appears to sport a green sombrero and a poncho. It is colored yellow with black eyes and an orange bill. Its green, somewhat mitten-like hands are extremely large in comparison to other Pokémon's hands, and have two black lines of markings on their palms. There is a large, green sombrero-like feature on its head, with a short brown stem coming out of the top of it with a yellow spiky upper portion. There are several dark yellow stripes on its pineapple-like body and around its eyes is a patch of green. Ludicolo's legs are thick, green and sport a pattern of a black circle on the foot's underside.
====Gender differences====
A female has thinner stripes than a male.

====Special abilities====
Ludicolo can use several attacks such as {{m|Nature Power}} and {{m|Mega Drain}}, its attacks become even more powerful if it hears festive music as its muscles are filled with energy and the particles in its body begin to move faster, amplifying its power. Ludicolo also has the power of happiness, its dancing influences other people and Pokémon to join the dance as well. As a fully-evolved Pokémon, Ludicolo can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Ludicolo are happy to a fault. They dance around without a care in the world all day. If a Ludicolo hears loud, happy music, it will come running to dance along to it. They can't resist joining in with people having a good time.

===Habitat===
Ludicolo is seen to live in the forests right next to the water. It is also said to appear near laughing children on hiking trails.
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As Ludicolo is a plant-based Pokémon, it is possible that it obtains some of its energy through photosynthesis.

==In the anime==

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
Ludicolo first appeared in ''[[PK13|Gotta Dance!!]]''. It kept showing up out of nowhere whenever the Poké-Baton was activated.

A trio of {{pkmn2|wild}} Ludicolo appeared in ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]''.

A Ludicolo appeared in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'' after it evolved from a Lombre.

'''Lombre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハスブレロ''' ''Hasubrero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lotad}} starting at [[level]] 14, and evolves into {{p|Ludicolo}} by {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lombre are mostly aqua-colored, with a pattern of green extending from the sides of its head down to its feet like a garment of some sort, excluding its stubby, rounded ear. They have a red, bill-like mouth, along with a bigger lilypad on their heads than its pre-evolution. The lilypad itself has a notch in it, and, due to Lombe’s bipedal stance, resembles a sombrero. Lombre’s arms are long in comparison to its body, and have four red-colored fingers and one thumb each. Lombre’s feet, which are green from the coloration pattern have three red toes. Lombre are very human like, so much so that they are often mistaken for human children.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

As a dual {{t|Water}}- and [[Grass-type]], it can use moves such as {{M|Absorb}}, {{M|BubbleBeam}}, and {{M|Hydro Pump}}.

===Behavior===

Lombre is a mischievous Pokémon, tugging on the fishing lines of anglers from beneath the surface and enjoying their consternation, or otherwise popping out of rivers and startling people. Lombre is nocturnal, sleeping at the water’s edge in a bed of water grass and becoming active at night.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]

Lombre lives in rivers and at the edges of bodies of water.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
*Lombre and its evolution family, along with {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Palkia}}, are the only Pokémon to have a 4× resistance to {{t|Water}}.

===Origin===
Lombre's appearance is similar to the Japanese mythological creature known as the {{wp|Kappa (mythical creature)|Kappa}}. Unlike {{p|Golduck}}, this [[Pokémon]] is more like the kappa as it has the same dish on its head filled with water that is the source of its power, just as this Pokémon uses {{a|Rain Dish}} to replenish itself. It also has facial features similar to the kappa, such as a {{wp|turtle}}-like beak.

====Name origin====
Lombre's name could be a combination of ''{{wp|lotus}}'' and ''hombre'', the Spanish word for ''man''. It could also be derived from {{wp|sombrero}}, Spanish for ''hat'', similar to its Japanese name.

''Hasubrero'' combines 蓮 ''hasu'', meaning lotus, and {{wp|sombrero}}. Its German name, ''Lombrero'', mirrors this meaning perfectly.

User talk:Littlmiget123/Archive 1

2010-03-04T23:25:33Z

Tyro:

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Littlmiget123!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
* For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
* Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
* The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
* The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
* The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
* On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
* The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
* If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
* A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
* For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
* Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
* If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Littlmiget123/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
* Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
* There are certain restrictions on the content and amount of userspace content a user is allowed. For details, see the {{bp|Userspace policy}}.
* Unless prior permission is given, no user is permitted to edit another user's page. Furthermore, edits to other users' pages are permitted only if there are problems that spread to other parts of Bulbapedia, such as broken links that appear on the wanted pages, switching out duplicate images that appear on the Archives, etc.
* Fan fictions, missions, riddles, games, and anything else deemed not suitable for the wiki will not be allowed. If you would like to add something, but do not know if it is acceptable, ask an administrator.
* A list of administrators that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

== What wrong with my edits ==
Whats wrong with my edits apart from the ??? thing (For that I do apologize).
I would just like to know. [[User:Roryrules123]] 15:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Fine by me sorry if I thought u were trying to get rid of me, but one more question for instance if it has an unknown sign on the moves does that me that I don't to it? [[user:Roryrules123]] 15:20 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Right thank you for the information its made life so more easier. Is it possible if we could work together on the moves? [[User:Roryrules123]] 15:27 11 September (UTC)

Kinda I give you an episode to focus on to find the moves or you can do the same to me. Or we could find an episode to do together (your choice). [[User:Roryrules123]] 15:48 11 September 2009 (UTC)

If you wanna work alone that fine by me but I advise you if we could stay in touch just in case we need help. P.S my email address is RoryTownsend1@yahoo.co.uk. [[User:Roryrules123]] 16:03 11 September 2009 (UTC)

== Headbutting again (but this time not seriously) ==

I'm glad we managed to settle our differences from that Arbok's Headbutt. Your'e doing great work by adding and editing those move anime templates. But there is one thing that is still making me think. Does Arbok use Tackle or Headbutt in it. You can check it by yourself. Unless you own the episode, you can find it from YouTube by using "jessie evolving" as your key words. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:44, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Megavideo? That was a new place for me. But anyway, thanks. I'm glad were okay again. I hope you like the work I'm doing. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Megavideo is a place where you can watch videos, kinds like youtube except theres no 10 minute limit for videos. Unfortunetly, you can only watch about 53-76 minutes per day, and once you get a message saying that, you have to wait an hour to watch more. Theres a guy on there i think his username is anthony007 or sumthin, he has all the pokemon eps. I love the images u uploaded onto your userpage, how did u upload them? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 16:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I just checked Megavideo. A cool place indeed, I have to keep it in mind. And those pictures then. I found them from [[Serebii.net]]. The uploading is done this way:
*Phase 1: Upload the picture you want to upload to Bulbapedia to your computer.
*Phase 2: From the side of any of Bulbapedia page, click the link "Upload file".
*Phase 3: Roll down the page. Then click the "Browse" button you see. Select the picture you want to upload and accept it.
*Phase 4: If you want to, you can change your image's name at "Destination filename". Then add a short summary from the picture at the box marked with "Summary" and then choose a fitting licensing for your picture from "Licensing".
*Phase 5: Click "Upload file". 
See? It isn't that hard. Hope I didn't embarrase myself by telling you some stuff you knew already. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 17:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

If it doesn't work so that you just simply click the picture with your mouse's right button and select "upload file/picture" (or whatever), you must disable your computer's JavaScript command orders (or something like that) and it'll work (at least it worked for me). Hope it works on your computer too. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 17:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

And by the way, I found that Megavideo user u were talking about. He's anthonyng007. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 19:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

== ThunderPunching your brains out and maybe some wrong Routes chosen as well... ==

Hello! I've got something to say (and ask) for you again. Here:

*1. You deleted my edit to page {{m|ThunderPunch}}, 'cause I had deleted the information of Lt. Surge's Raichu using ThunderPunch. I watched the episode yesterday and I still didn't see Raichu using ThunderPunch at a single time, it only used {{m|Mega Punch}} for once. So what's the outcome of this thing?
*2. I added [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Ash's Heracross]] with the information of their capture locations as [[Route 31]]. Now I want to ask you if I were correct, like did I write up wrong routes or should I've written "Around Route ??" or something. Please help.

That's from that. Please answer me soon. ;) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 19:16, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought I'd rather first take contact to you since I "know" you better than those admins. And thanks. By the way, did you look the Japanese or English version of [[EP014]] while putting that? It even reads in [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] that it used Mega Punch. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 19:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

PS. I edited Ash's Bayleef's capture place to be correct now. And I'll ask admins next time when I'm in [[Double Trouble|trouble]]. Thanks once more. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 19:37, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

:Uh, those captures could not possibly have been on [[Route 31]]. {{TP|Ash|Heracross}} was caught in [[EP119|''A Sappy Ending'']]. {{TP|Ash|Bayleef}} was caught in the Chikorita stage in [[EP126|''The Chikorita Rescue'']]. The gang didn't even reach [[Cherrygrove City]] until [[EP127|the episode after the Chikorita capture]]. Route 31 is just east of [[Violet City]], which was reached [[EP130|three episodes after reaching Cherrygrove]]. Ergo, there's only one logical location in which Heracross and Chikorita can claim as their caught location, and guess what, it's [[Route 29|definitely not Route 31]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:38, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll be doing so. :) PS. You probably noted that Shiningpikablu252's message above? Guess you answer wasn't so good as we thought, only 1/2 right. But hey, life still goes on! :D Ciao! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 12:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Locking-On to the job (and maybe something more as well) ==

You've done an exellent job with putting those anime templates. But as you already may know, there are still some moves without these templates. For example, I just found out that {{m|Lock-On}} is without the template. I could do it, but I've got something else to do and I'd like you to handel the job, OK? Besides,I think you do it better. :) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:21, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

And {{m|Guillotine}} is without the template as well. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:26, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Reverts ==

Your reverts and {{u|TurtwigA|this user}}'s reverts are different. One's spoilers and discussed, while the other's just... different. Spoilers don't matter here. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 23:08, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

== Toxics, Tails and Wrapping ==

I'll ask you now... Has [[Ash's Pikachu]] really used Tail Whip as the article claims or was that just the {{m|Slam}} from Electric Shock Showdown? And has Weezing used Toxic, maybe in ''Make Room for Gloom'', where Arbok also used it. And speaking of Arbok, when did it use Wrap for the first time? It used Bind (which it souldn't be able to learn) in [[EP008]], but when it used Wrap for the first time, 'cause I know that tha happened while it was an Ekans. Oh WHEN, I ask. Can you answer as many of my questions as possible, please? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 11:50, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
:Not mention about Ash's Bulbasaur's and Heracross's Take Downs. When these moves debuted? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 11:58, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks, that answered all of my questions. But I'm not letting you easy, so here comes more! Were [[Jessie's Lickitung]] Wrap and Bind the same or hasn't it just used the latter one? And when did Arbok use Slam for the first time? The only time I've seen it using the move was in Pop Goes the Sneasel, but has it used it before that ep? And I saw Pikachu using Tackle in Trouble's Brewing. Did he use the move before that? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:49, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
:::You want more questions? Well, here washes! Has [[Jessie's Seviper]] ever used Lick or Glare as the article claims? Or are these just other mistakes? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:59, 27 November 2009 (UTC) PS. I just put a Pokémon template on May's article, just check it out. I think other main characters should have templates too. Do you agree?

== More ==

I remember that Ash's Butterfree never used PoisonPowder, but the article claims so. Is it right or not? And it definetly didn't use in Challenge of the Samurai as the article claims, so when? 
Then more: has May's Torchic or Combusken ever used Growl? Did Jessie's Cascoon ever use Harden? I saw Brock's Vulpix using a Flamethrower-like attack on Misty in its debut episode, but can we say that it first used the attack in that ep? And finally: have you found more ou about Arbok's Headbutt? has it been used prior to Trouble's Brewing or aren't you sure? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:39, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
:And was that Scratch or Fury Swipes that Meowth used on Jessie and James in Ash Catches A Pokémon? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks. You answered everyone except Cascoon's Harden -question. How is it? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:18, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
:::And more's coming. My Megavideo just cut out, so I want to be sure that did May's Beautifly use Whirlwind or Gust in its evolving episode? has it used both of these moves and when? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

== Lots of more questions ==

More coming, and lots of. Did James's Victreebel ever use Slam? It used Tackle for the first time in Flower Power, or did it use it before that? Did Ash's Heracross use Megahorn or Fury Swipes before The Ties that Bind? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 17:25, 9 December 2009 (UTC) Ps. More will be coming later.
:And here we go: Ash's Totodile used Leer in Playing with Fire, but has it used it before that? Did Ash's Pidgeotto ever use Tackle? Did Brock's Pineco use Spikes for the first time in Ariados, Amigos? Has Misty's Horsea ever used Water Gun? If has, then when? Did Misty's Corsola use all of its moves first time in its debut episode and was BubbleBeam used by it for the first time in Pokémon Heroes? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
::And more things comin' right here. I know that James's Koffing/Weezing has used Tackle, but did it use it for the first time in its debut episode or was it later? If so, when? And about Arbok, I saw it using some kind of Wrap/Bind move in Ghost of The Maiden's Peak. Which one it was? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
::And I forgot this: Did Ekans use Dig for the first time in Ash Catches a Pokémon? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
:::Yes, for now I have one more question: Did James's Weezing use Haze for the first time in The Evolution Solution (I never saw it using it as a Koffing, so guess this the right way to ask)? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 17:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
::::I just came up with one more question: The article claims that James's Cacnea used Needle Arm for the first time in A Poached Ego, but I didn't see it using it in that episode. Needle Arm (move) article claims that the move debuted in A Mudkip Mission. Is the latter one true or when it was used for the first time? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 17:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
:::And more: Has Brock's Bonsly/Sudowoodo ever used Faint Attack? If has, when? When did James's Koffing/Weezing use Smog for the first time? the artcile claim that it was in its debut episode, but is that so? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
:::And was Misty's Goldeen's Horn Drill's debut in Just add water? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:25, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
::Here's a tough one: What attacks (even if he told it to use Tackle, it's counted in my books) did James tell his Victreebel to use in Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon? I just can't find that episode anywhere! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 09:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

== Scratch ==
No, I haven't seen {{MTR}} using Scratch, thanks for the question anyway. But I have an unusual question for you: Do you read Pokémon Adventures. i have only read it from the website called [http://www.onemanga.com Onemanga.com], but for now there is only 103 chapters, but some manga Pokémon have used new moves even after this. So, do you read it? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 11:37, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
===Question bombard===
:I just wanted to know if you knew about some move which Bulbapedia doesn't know when they're first used. Anyway, you have been without questions for way too long, so here comes:
*First about manga. Did [[Poli]] use Double Team in ''...But Fearow Itself!'' For me it at least seemed like it.
*Then about anime. Ash's Bayleef was claimed to use Headbutt in Playing with Fire. I decided that I didn't see her using it in the episode and took it away. Was I right? Has it ever used Headbutt?
*[[Gary's Blastoise]], I've got several question involving to it. Do you think that that was Withdraw when Blastoise evaded Charizard's Dragon Rage in ''Can't Beat the Heat!'' or was it just "a dodge" (the article claims that it used Withdraw in that episode)? For me it seems that Blastoise only used Hydro Cannon in Ill-Will Hunting, but the article claims that it also used Hydro Pump and Water Gun in the same episode. I've never seen Gary's Blastoise using Water Gun, so can I take it away from its move template and put that it's using Hydro Cannon in the pic? 
[[Serebii.net|Until next time, see ya!]] --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Is it true? ==
Now I've got more questions for you. I just visited at [http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=365011 http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=365011], where I read some of the following facts:
*[[Tracey's Venonat]] has used {{m|Supersonic}}. When?
*[[Ash's Pikachu]] has used {{m|Headbutt}}. has it? If has, when? (Was it that what it used at the beginning of the [[Spell of the Unown|third movie]]?)
*[[Brock's Steelix|Brock's Onix]] has used {{m|Sandstorm}}. Has it? If has, when?
*[[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] has used {{m|Safeguard}}. Has it? If has, do you know when?
*[[Gary's Umbreon]]/{{p|Eevee}} has used {{m|Take Down}}. When?
*[[Harrison's Blaziken]] has used {{m|Double Kick}}. Has it? If, when?
*[[Bruno's Onix]] has used {{m|Rock Throw}} and {{m|Slam}}. Has it?
*[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] has used {{m|Flamethrower}}. I know that you are not there yet, but still: has it? Was that what it used in the beginning of the {{p|Arceus}} movie? 
Can you please answer these? I know that's quite a much, but still, please respond. You could also check the website if you haven't. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:31, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

First I've got something to answer for you. Cynthia's Garchomp really used Flamethrower in the movie. Gary's Blastoise used also Water Gun in Ill-Will Hunting, so I had remembered wrong. And about Poli's Double Team, I guess your Ice Beam theory was correct, because it later used Double Team in the Spearow chapter, and it was quite a different-looking. 
And then to the questions.
*When did James's Victreebel first use Vine Whip? The article states that it was its debut episode, but I just checked it and it didn't use it in it.
*Have you already seen an episode where May's Squirtle has used Withdraw? If you have, what was it?
*Misty's Goldeen's article states that it "[[Splash (move)|flailed]]" and used Flail in Pokémon Emergency. I guess that it didn't use either of those moves. How do you think? 
Waiting for your answer. :) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 18:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC) 
PS. Merry Christmas. We here in Finland celebrate Christmas already during the Christmas eve.
Hello! Nice to contact you again! I've got several things to say, thought not all of them are questions.
*I found out that James's Victreebel used Tackle already in Pikachu Re-Volts, so that's OK.
*And believe it all not, I went through all of Victreebel's times when it used a move, and as I said, I didn't see it using Vine Whip during its debut, but now I saw that the move debuted so late as in Forest Grumps. Pretty far away, wasn't it?
*It's obviously you who has put that May's Munchlax's SolarBeam debuted in A Real Cleffa-Hanger. I admit that it was the move, but it was used via Metronome, so maybe you should put there the first episode where it used it as a move itself? According to my research, that was May's Egg-cellent Adventure. At least I remember so. 
That's all from now. I'll contact you later if (and as) I'll get more thhings to say. Bye! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

About Banette, yes, it's been a while since I last saw it and I guess I just remembered it wrong, sorry. My bad. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 17:47, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I've seen you starting to add move templates even about mangas. That's great! But you said that you've only read the rounds put to Onemanga.com, so here's you a link: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/pok_mon_adventures/ http://www.mangafox.com/manga/pok_mon_adventures/]. There you can find ''every single round'' of Pokémon Adventures! Hope it'll be use for you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 19:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I saw how you added In the manga section to Thunderbolt, but let me say something: at least if I remember right Lt. Surge's Electabuzz used Thunder at that round, not Thunderbolt. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 20:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

:Lt. Surge says thunderbolt on there, so I added it on thunderbolt. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:03, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

== Steph's Request for Help ==

:Hello, Littlmiget123. Since you possess some experience in anime move templates, I shall inform you that when I attempted to add the anime move template to X-Scissor, somehow the sections that are usually below the 'in the anime' section (such as Trivia) seemed to vanish. However, on further investigation, I found that upon clicking the 'show' option, the other sections did not actually vanish--they were merely messily relocated below Saturn's Toxicroak on the anime template. Thus, I ask if you could seperate the sections and otherwise correct my mistake there.
:Additionally, going through the list of moves, I have found other moves with mistakes and formats that need correcting (such as Metal Burst requires relocation to proper anime template section).[[User:Steph|Steph]] 17:48, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

::Hi, Steph. On the last section in the move template, you need to put mid instead of btm. That will fix everything. It is a very simple mistake that I make all the time. As I said before, I watch the anime in order (I am currently watching Pokemon Ranger & the temple of the sea) so that I may get correct information in the 'in the anime' sections, so when I reach them, I will update the anime section. If you still want, I could fix X-Scissor, but since it is so easy, you may do it if u want. Is that it? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 18:17, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

:::I have put 'btm' there. Now I may continue onto others...excellent! Additionally, would you be able to (or otherwise give me the coding advice) to give some moves Anime General Descriptions? For example, the Anime General Description for X-Scissor would be 'the user crosses its arms and slashes'. I have noticed Dragon Pulse needs a Anime General Description, however when I try to insert the code from the example X-Scissor, it makes a coding mess (possibly due to interaction with the pictures' coding placement). [[User:Steph|Steph]] 18:36, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

::::X-Scissor is great, it looks fine. Normally, you have to fix the anime templates to make them look like X-Scissor (moveanime, type, exp, gen, image1, and image1p). I've noticed some people will sometimes shuffle them around, creating a mess if you try to put a section in the right place. If you work your anime templates to make them all like X-Scissor, then they will come out great. Anything else? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 18:42, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

:::::Aside from revising links (Crimson's Zangoose leads to a red link, since apparently, unlike Nando's Kricketune, Crimson's Zangoose does not have a redirect to Crimson's Pokémon) to lead to the Pokémon Trainers, none I can currently think of. Since Dragon Pulse's coding is behaving incongruously, I shall transfer its details to match that of X-Scissor's format so I can insert the anime move description properly. [[User:Steph|Steph]] 19:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

::::::For those characters who's Pokemon do not have their own page, you have to type in 'user=Crimson', then type in after 'user1=Crimson's Zangoose'. I hope you are understanding what I am trying to say, because I'm finding it really hard to explain it, so just ask if you don't understand, 'kay? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 19:35, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

== Awesome page! ==
I love your Gen. V ideas and your Volkner story. How 'bout you put Zach's pokemon and talk about some new Gen. V's.
-[[User:?????|Question Marx?]]
:Thanks, but if you want to talk to me, send me an e-mail (littlmiget123@yahoo.com), on instant messanger (littlmiget132), or read my story on fanfiction, make an account and PM me. We could get in trouble for this. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 19:08, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

==Pages==
Stop messing up the anime sections of move pages, like [[Roar of Time (move)|this one]]. I have to tell you that the image numbers do not correspond in the correct order. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 19:54, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
:I'm sorry, but you should at least put them in the right order? One goes first, then two, not three, two. I'll fix them, but swap the pics. Happy? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:00, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
::No, it's mixed up. This is how it goes in this order: three, one, two, four. I don't know why it is like that, it just is. But yes, I am satisfied. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 20:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
:::Alright? That's kinda wierd... And a while ago, you sent me an e-mail with a website in it about Pokemon, when I opened it up, it gave me a virus, why did you do that? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
:::: Um... no, I didn't. If I sent you an e-mail, it was at the archives, it was a link to zamzar.com, a totally legit website to convert .jpg files to .png. I do that occasionally. Or maybe you were hallucinating or something... --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 10:00, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
::::Maybe it was from the archives and it sent me an e-mail alert, because that website sounds familiar. Anyways, now that I know you didn't give me the virus on purpose, I'm sorry I sounded rude when you first contacted me. -_-' [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 13:11, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

'''Entei''' (Japanese: '''エンテイ''' ''Entei'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, one of the [[legendary beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Entei is a lion-like creature that bears resemblance to a {{wp|Mastiff}}. It is covered in brown fur with a long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater on its back, and a plate beneath the cream belly fur on its chest. Entei has white paws with apparently retractable claws and brown paw pads, and black cuff-like bands on its legs. It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to resemble a {{wp|kabuto}}, a samurai helmet.

It is said that an Entei is born whenever a volcano erupts. It is also said that whenever Entei roars, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world.

====Gender differences====
Entei is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Entei can shoot flames that are hotter than volcanic magma. It also sports limited mental powers. When it roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the globe.

===Behavior===
Entei races headlong around the land.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
As a member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the move with no set place to hang around in. However, it is speculated that Entei (as well as the other [[legendary beasts]]) is not a unique species because Pokédex entries state that an Entei is born every time a new volcano is born and, in Pokémon Ranger, [[Solana]] or [[Lunick]] say "Wow! An Entei!" rather than saying "Wow! Entei!"

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Entei anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Entei in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Entei (movie 3)]]====
Entei was a major character in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. In the movie, an illusionary Entei appeared to [[Molly Hale]] after she made a wish on the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}}.

====Other====
A real Entei first appeared in the episode ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]''.

Entei will be appearing alongside {{p|Celebi}}, and the other members of its [[Legendary beasts|trio]] in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark]]''. It is currently unknown what bearing its role will have on the plot.

===Minor appearances===
A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Entei was used by the [[Mirage Master]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

Entei made a small cameo at the opening of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A Entei appeared in a [[Team Rocket]] fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble]]''.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Entei was awakened by {{adv|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Masked Man]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Entei eventually pairs up with [[Blaine]], and later {{adv|Silver}}. In this manga, Entei's fire has a healing effect, burning away disease and evil auras. It is also the move capable of permanently melting away the Masked Man's moving ice sculptures, which typically repair themselves from any attack. After it saves Silver and {{adv|Gold}}'s lives after their defeat against the Masked Man in the [[Lake of Rage]], Blaine uses this fire to burn away the {{p|Mewtwo}} cells infecting his arm, and [[DJ Mary]]'s {{p|Smeargle}} copies this power using {{m|Sketch}}. Once the Masked Man, revealed to be [[Pryce]], is beaten, Entei once again joins its comrades and roams the land of Johto once again. It has not been seen since.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Entei Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Entei in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Entei unleashes a volcanic {{m|Fire Spin}} that deals a lot of damage to any opponents that get trapped in it.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: [[Gordor]] considers Entei to be the best and most loyal of the legendary trio. The player captures it when it is first unleashed in the [[Jungle Relic]] but it is still taken by the [[Go-Rock Squad]], using their new Super Styler. Entei later acts as the final boss of the game.

==Trivia==
* Entei shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Typhlosion}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Entei is somehow able to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, although it lacks a visible tail. However, the cloud on its back slightly resembles a tail.
* Entei is one of the fifteen Pokémon whose numbers are the same in more than one Pokédex-like listing, sharing its [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] numbers.

===Origin===
It has aspects of several different animals, but most prominently resembles large, stocky, short muzzled breeds of dogs, and full grown male {{wp|lion}}s. Entei may possibly be based on the mythical Chinese guardian {{wp|Chinese guardian lions|lion-dogs}}, or {{wp|Aterui}}, the chief of the Emishi, who was later labeled as a demon called 'Aka-gashira' (Red-Head).
Another origin may also be {{wp|Taira no Kiyomori}}. There is a legend where Kiyomori's body was extremely hot from dying of a fever, it would burn those who walk near him. It also has the appearance of a {{wp|volcano}}, its head is volcano-shaped and has a bright yellow eruption-flame on the top, and the red {{wp|magma}} is seen on the side of its face, it has volcanic smoke leaving from the back and has two spiky mountains on the back too.

====Name origin====
Entei's Japanese name is likely a combination of 炎天 ''enten'', blazing heat, or just 炎 ''en'' – an alternate reading of ''honō'' – flame, and 皇帝 ''kōtei'', emperor. Its name can thus be written in kanji as 炎帝 (identical to the Chinese "{{wp|Yan Emperor|Yándì}}").
