==Characteristics==
The Dragon type is statistically the best of all types overall. Because of the minimal amount of weaknesses that they have, they often find a way onto trainers' [[party|teams]]. The downside to the supposed power that they have is that they are slightly harder to raise, with many of them not evolving from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50, such as a Dragonite or a Garchomp. Most Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] have high [[Stats#Attack|Attack]] and [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]], and paired with their incredibly diverse movepools, they are one of the best in the games.

The Dragon type is good offensively. Even though only Dragons themselves are Dragon-weak, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB. Dragon/Fire, a common attacking combination among Dragons, is resisted together only by {{p|Heatran}}. {{m|Dragon Dance}} is also a very common move for physical sweepers.

Defensively, they have key resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire, enabling them to block certain Pokémon. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Dragon-type except {{p|Kingdra}} has a double weakness to {{type2|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[Elemental type|types]].

As of [[Generation IV]], all fully-evolved Dragon-types also have a secondary type.

When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

In total, there are 22 Pokémon of the currently known 514 with the Dragon type, which accounts for 4.28% of the pokédex, which means it ties with the {{type2|Ice}} for the second least populated type, second only to the {{type2|Ghost}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; but because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do variable Dragon-type damage. There is speculation that this is the reason that {{p|Gyarados}} is not part Dragon-type.
** Also, Dratini's family were the '''only''' Dragon [[Pokémon]] of [[Generation I]]
* There are only eleven Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Eight of those eleven moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in {{pkmn|Contests}}. The only three that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* Even though the Dragon type has always been considered nearly legendary, no actual Dragon-type [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] were introduced until [[Generation III]]'s {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* The Dragon type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the {{t|Ghost}} type.
* Even though dragons are known in real-life legends as fire-breathers, the first {{t|Fire}}/Dragon or Dragon/Fire Pokémon was not introduced until [[Generation V]]. Though most Dragon-types can use many Fire-type moves.
* The Dragon type has the dubious honor of being one of three types that will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{t|Poison}} type, which is only super effective against {{type2|Grass}}s, and the {{t|Normal}} type, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* The final evolutions of all pure Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries]].
* The Dragon type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* All pure Dragon-type Pokémon have a different ability from their final evolution; {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Dragonair}} have {{a|Shed Skin}}, whereas {{p|Dragonite}} has {{a|Inner Focus}}, and {{p|Bagon}} and {{p|Shelgon}} have {{a|Rock Head}}, whereas {{p|Salamence}} has {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Only four Dragon-type Pokémon are neither legendary nor part of a pseudo-legendary's family; all of them evolve from non-Dragon-type Pokémon.
* The only non-legendary Dragon-type that doesn't sport a double weakness (or ''any'' weakness for that matter) to {{t|Ice}} is Kingdra
* The Dragon type is also unique in the fact that they can ''all'' learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[move tutor]], and are the only type that can learn it at all (excluding {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Smeargle}}).
* Almost half (nine) of all Dragon-type Pokémon were introduced in Generation III.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type introduced in Generation II.
* In Generations prior to Generation IV, only one [[TM]] contained a Dragon-type move each Generation. They were {{TM|23|Dragon Rage}}, {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}, and {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; but because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do variable Dragon-type damage. There is speculation that this is the reason that {{p|Gyarados}} is not part Dragon-type.
** Also, Dratini's family were the '''only''' Dragon [[Pokémon]] of [[Generation I]]
* There are only eleven Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Eight of those eleven moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in {{pkmn|Contests}}. The only three that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* Even though the Dragon type has always been considered nearly legendary, no actual Dragon-type [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] were introduced until [[Generation III]]'s {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* The Dragon type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the {{t|Ghost}} type.
* Even though dragons are known in real-life legends as fire-breathers, the first {{t|Fire}}/Dragon or Dragon/Fire Pokémon was not introduced until [[Generation V]]. Though most Dragon-types can use many Fire-type moves.
* The Dragon type has the dubious honor of being one of three types that will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{t|Poison}} type, which is only super effective against {{type2|Grass}}s, and the {{t|Normal}} type, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* The final evolutions of all pure Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries]].
* The Dragon type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* All pure Dragon-type Pokémon have a different ability from their final evolution; {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Dragonair}} have {{a|Shed Skin}}, whereas {{p|Dragonite}} has {{a|Inner Focus}}, and {{p|Bagon}} and {{p|Shelgon}} have {{a|Rock Head}}, whereas {{p|Salamence}} has {{a|Intimidate}}.
* Only four Dragon-type Pokémon are neither legendary nor part of a pseudo-legendary's family; all of them evolve from non-Dragon-type Pokémon.
* The only non-legendary Dragon-type that doesn't sport a double weakness (or ''any'' weakness for that matter) to {{t|Ice}} is Kingdra
* The Dragon type is also unique in the fact that they can ''all'' learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[move tutor]], and are the only type that can learn it at all (excluding {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Smeargle}}).
* Almost half (nine) of all Dragon-type Pokémon were introduced in Generation III.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type introduced in Generation II.
* In Generations prior to Generation IV, only one [[TM]] contained a Dragon-type move each Generation. They were {{TM|23|Dragon Rage}}, {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}, and {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}.

Trainers of note that specialize in the Ice type include [[Lorelei]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Pryce]] of [[Mahogany Town]], [[Glacia]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Candice]] of [[Snowpoint City]].

==Characteristics==
The Ice type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying many common weaknesses to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and the randomly-carried {{m|Fire Blast}} meant to cover the much sturdier Steel-types. These defensive weaknesses are reduced somewhat by the rarity of pure Ice-types. However, many Ice-types have more weaknesses than resistances even with another type.

Offensive-wise, though, Ice is one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double weaknesses to Ice are very common (especially among {{type2|Dragon}}s, whose final forms are almost all doubly weak), while only two non-Ice-types doubly resist Ice: {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Heatran}}. Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type2|Water}}s can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover their major weakness of {{t|Grass}}, as well as {{t|Dragon}}, which resists their moves.

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

In total, there are 22 Pokémon of the currently known 514 with the Ice type, which accounts for 4.28% of the pokédex, which means it ties with Dragon for the second least populated type, second only to Ghost.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ice-type species were not introduced until [[Generation III]]. As of Generation IV, there are only four pure Ice-types, even then, two are of the same evolutionary family.
* Thirteen of the fifteen Ice-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only two that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Ice-type moves were Beauty moves.
* All damaging Ice-type moves have a secondary effect.
** As of Generation IV, half of them are [[Physical move]]s and the other half are [[Special move]]s.
* Only the Normal-type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice type, having no resistances (but one immunity). Ice only resists itself.
* With the exception of the Dragon-type, all types that are weak to Ice have been combined with it on at least one Pokémon.
* There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four|Elite Four member]] who specializes in the Ice introduced in each generation, with the Gym Leaders introduced in even-numbered generations and the Elite Four members introduced in odd-numbered ones.
*[[Pryce]] is the only known male Ice-type specialist. The others, [[Candice]], [[Lorelei]], and [[Glacia]], are all female.
** Both of the Ice-type specialists who are [[Gym Leader]]s, Pryce and Candice, are the seventh Gym Leader in their respective region, which appears in Generation IV.
* Despite {{t|Fire}} being strong against Ice, and {{t|Electric}} being neutral to Ice, in [[Generation I]], there are actually more Ice-type Pokémon that are weak to Electric than Ice Pokémon that are weak to Fire. This is largely due to the fact that most Ice-type Pokémon in that generation are also part {{t|Water}}.
* All non-damaging Ice-type moves have one-word names, all of which are four letters each.
**Of them, only {{m|Mist}} does not begin with the letter "H".

Dark (type)

2010-08-01T18:44:00Z

Wikid: /* Pokémon */

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Aku}}
Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Statistical averages==

|weaken2=Psychic
|resisted1=Dark
|resisted2=Fighting
|resisted3=Steel
}}

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

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

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

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

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

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 26 Pokémon of the currently known 514 species with the Dark-type; 17 are fully evolved. This high number of fully evolved Pokémon is because some Pokémon gain the Dark-type after evolving. The Dark type accounts for 5.06% of the entire pokédex making it the third least populated type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 80, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, {{p|Arceus}}'s {{m|Judgment}} becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark-type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all four generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 100% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark-type. Despite this, there have been two [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.

Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

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

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

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

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

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

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 25 known Pokémon with the Dark-type; 17 are fully evolved. This high number of fully evolved Pokémon is because some Pokémon gain the Dark-type after evolving.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 80, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, {{p|Arceus}}'s {{m|Judgment}} becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark-type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all four generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 100% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark-type. Despite this, there have been two [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.

Some notable trainers of Dark-types include [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]] and [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

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

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

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

Interestingly, despite the fact that in generations prior to [[Generation IV]], all Dark-type moves were [[special move]]s, there is only ''one'' special Dark-type move in Generation IV (Dark Pulse), which itself was introduced in that generation, meaning all Dark-type moves from before are actually considered [[physical move]]s.

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

In total, there are 26 pokemon of the known 514 with the Dark type, which accounts for 5.06% of the entire pokedex making it the third least populated type.

==Pokémon==
In total, there are 25 known Pokémon with the Dark-type; 17 are fully evolved. This high number of fully evolved Pokémon is because some Pokémon gain the Dark-type after evolving.

}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[elemental types|elemental type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move, works differently for Ghost-types than it does for other Pokémon.

Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or paralysis. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}.

It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}} type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, creating a weakness.

When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

In total, there are 18 Pokémon out of the 514 currently know with the Ghost type, and so it accounts for 3.5% of the entire Pokédex, making it the rarest of all types to be had by a Pokémon.

==Trivia==
*Pure Ghost-type species were not introduced until [[Generation II]].
*In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon. An abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been a programming error, rather than intentional: the immunity is contradicted by official type charts published by Nintendo for their Generation I strategy guides, as well as the {{pkmn|anime}} in which it was said that Ghost-types are the best type to fight Psychic-type Pokémon. In Red and Blue, a Trainer in the Saffron Gym even states that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear Bugs and Ghosts" though this was corrected to remove the reference to Ghost-types in Yellow. It is the only elemental type to go from 0× effectiveness to 2× effectiveness on another type between generations.
*There are no Ghost-type moves that have an accuracy lower than 100%, as all of them have a 100% accuracy or never miss.
*Ghost-type Pokémon are the only {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} that can have more than one immunity.
*The Ghost-type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the Dragon-type.
*All Ghost-type Pokémon that have a secondary type that is weak to Ground-type attacks have the {{a|Levitate}} ability, so as of Generation IV there is no Ghost-type Pokémon that is weak to Ground-type attacks unless the ability has been somehow negated.
*Although they are clearly depicted as levitating in the anime and in the games, the Ghost-types Shedinja, Shuppet, Spiritomb, Dusknoir, and Froslass do not have the ability {{a|Levitate}} and thus remain susceptible to {{type2|Ground}} moves (although Shedinja's {{a|Wonder Guard}} would protect it from Ground-type moves).
*Disregarding abilities, Drifloon, Drifblim, Sableye and Spiritomb are the only Pokémon so far to be immune to three types (Drifloon and Drifblim are immune to Normal, Fighting and Ground, whereas Sableye and Spiritomb are immune to Normal, Fighting and Psychic).
*Ghost is the least abundant type among Pokémon, with only 18 Pokémon of this type among the 493 total.
*So far, the only Ghost-type attack with a base power greater than 80 is {{m|Shadow Force}}, which is [[signature move|exclusive]] to {{p|Giratina}}, although {{p|Arceus}} also knows it.
*There has yet to be a Pokémon with a double weakness or a Pokémon with a double resistance to Ghost, though multiple types are weak to it and resist it.
*As of Generation II, the Ghost-type (along with {{t|Normal}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa), not including matchups of regular effectiveness. The other pair is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Fighting}} (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).
*There has been one [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member in each generation specializing in Ghost-types.
**Interestingly, it has swapped each generation: odd numbered generations feature Elite Four members ([[Agatha]] and [[Phoebe]]) while even numbered generations feature Gym Leaders ([[Morty]] and [[Fantina]]).
*While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, most notably {{m|Struggle}}.

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into one of [[Eeveelution|seven different Pokémon]] by various methods.
*{{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}
*{{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}
*{{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}
*{{p|Espeon}} via [[happiness]] during the [[days of the week|daytime]] ([[Generation II]] onward)
*{{p|Umbreon}} via happiness during the [[time|nighttime]] (Generation II onward)
*{{p|Leafeon}} when [[level]]ed up in [[Eterna Forest]] ([[Generation IV]] onward)
*{{p|Glaceon}} when [[level]]ed up on {{rt|217}} (Generation IV onward)
If [[level]]ed up in [[Eterna Forest]] or on {{rt|217}} while happy enough to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}, it will still evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It is the [[starter Pokémon]] for the main character of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is also the starter Pokémon for the rival in {{game|Yellow}}, although {{prof|Oak}} originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee has an irregular genetic code and can sometimes evolve in accordance to its environment. Seven evolutions for this Pokémon have been discovered so far. Three of these evolutions are the result of Eevee being exposed to either a Fire Stone, Thunderstone or Water Stone. Two more of the evolutions involve maximum affection with the {{pkmn|Trainer}} and accordance to the time of day. The final two evolutions are the result of training in two specific areas, [[Eterna Forest]] and [[Route 217]].
===Physiology===
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-colored. Eevee has brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of {{wp|raccoon}}s, {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s, and {{wp|cat}}s.
====Gender differences====
No gender differences are known.

===Special abilities===
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are Normal-type attacks such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, but it can also {{m|bite}} its opponents and use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, it's unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Wish}}. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trump Card}}. Some Eevee have the ability {{a|Adaptability}}, which makes any Normal-type attack that they use become stronger than when used by any other Normal-type Pokémon whose attack power is the same as Eevee's. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon. This code may also shed some light on one of its abilities, {{a|Adaptability}}.

===Behavior===
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks but are usually affectionate, loyal and fairly energetic Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in [[Kanto]], but have been seen in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Ursula Eevee.png|250px|thumb|Eevee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]====
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. The egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', and evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

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

====Other====
Eevee first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older [[Eevee brothers|brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated [[Team Rocket]], Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

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

An Eevee appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

Two Eevee appeared in [[DP174]], under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved during her performance.

===Minor appearances===
[[Ritchie]] consulted [[Professor Oak]] on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns an Eevee in the Japanese version.

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

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|EP040|Eevee|Ash's Pokédex|Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. It has the potential to evolve into one of three different Pokémon.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Eevee is featured in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] under the ownership of [[Eevee brothers#In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga|Mikey]].

Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. Another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears and shows its love for [[Eevee (MPJ)|Coconut's Eevee]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single Pokémon]]. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}, though not at will. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee. When it evolves into [[Vui|Espeon]], however, it loses its mutation ability.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]], during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}.

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

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

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

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Eevee|10}}

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

==Trivia==
*Fans have come up with a term to refer to all Pokémon which evolve from Eevee: [[Eeveelution]]s.
**All of Eevee's evolutions end in the suffix -eon.
**Eevee and its [[evolution]]s all have a [[catch rate]] of 45.
**Each Eeveelution has identical base stat totals, as well as the same 130-110-95-65-65-60 amounts. What differs among them is what amount is allotted to which stat.
*In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be "captured". However, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was eventually changed in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|sequel]].
*Eevee's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
*Eevee's [[Generation I]] evolutions: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} can be obtained at level 1 since an [[evolutionary stone]] is required for each, while its [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] evolutions can be obtained at level 2, because they require leveling up when a certain condition is met.
*If Eevee's happiness is raised to a maximum while in [[Eterna Forest]] or on [[Route 217]], it will not evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}; instead becoming {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}}, respectively.
*Eevee and {{p|Tyrogue}} are the only Pokémon that can [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|evolve into more than two Pokémon]], if {{p|Wormadam}}'s alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
*Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one ability. The other two are {{p|Trapinch}} and {{p|Sneasel}}.
*Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}} and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, an evolution of an Eevee was never seen on screen in the anime until [[DP174]] when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
*During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of several Pokémon in Generation II and on, however, its only distinction now is its ability to evolve into as many species as it is able: currently seven.
**Eevee is one of two Pokémon that evolve with the Thunderstone. The other is {{p|Pikachu}}.
*{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild. Interestingly, when it is caught, it knows four [[status move]]s.
*All of Eevee's evolutions so far have had their elemental type be one whose moves were formerly governed solely by the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat. The only formerly all-special elemental type not covered is {{t|Dragon}}.
*{{m|Bite}} is the only move learned by Eevee that gets a [[same-type attack bonus]] for {{p|Umbreon|one of its evolved forms}}.
**Abnormally for a Normal-type Pokémon, it can learn only five moves that are not themselves Normal-type: {{m|Mud-Slap}} ({{t|Ground}}), {{m|Bite}} ({{t|Dark}}), {{m|Iron Tail}} ({{t|Steel}}), {{m|Dig}} ({{t|Ground}}), and {{m|Shadow Ball}} ({{t|Ghost}}). This is likely so as to limit the movepools of its evolutions to moves of their own types.
*Eevee is the only Pokémon that is [[Gift Pokémon|given by an NPC]] in all four generations.
*Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Azurill}}.
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation so far to not have an evolution for Eevee.
*Eevee's Pokédex entry in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] implies that it's an endangered species. However, it can be caught multiple times in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum via the trophy garden.
:*However, the Trophy Garden is home to many rare pokemon which are not usually found in the wild such as {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Pichu}} and even then Eevee will only appear occasionally, so many fans believe it to be the exception which proves the rule.

===Origin===
It has traits of {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s. It is possibly based on the folklore of {{wp|Tanuki}}, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}. It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the foxes ability to adapt to extreme enviroments, like the desert fox, and the arctic fox.

====Name origin====
Eevee's name is a pronunciation of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon," the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee, which probably is a shortening of "evolution". Eon also means a long time, which is how long it takes for {{wp|evolution}} to take place in the real world.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Evoli
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Evoli- A combination of ''évolution'' (evolution) and ''-li'', the suffix for all French Eeveelutions.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이브이 ''Ibeui''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 伊布 ''Yī Bù'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into one of [[Eeveelution|seven different Pokémon]] by various methods.
*{{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}
*{{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}
*{{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}
*{{p|Espeon}} via [[happiness]] during the [[days of the week|daytime]] ([[Generation II]] onward)
*{{p|Umbreon}} via happiness during the [[time|nighttime]] (Generation II onward)
*{{p|Leafeon}} when [[level]]ed up in [[Eterna Forest]] ([[Generation IV]] onward)
*{{p|Glaceon}} when [[level]]ed up on {{rt|217}} (Generation IV onward)
If [[level]]ed up in [[Eterna Forest]] or on {{rt|217}} while happy enough to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}, it will still evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}} respectively.

It is the [[starter Pokémon]] for the main character of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is also the starter Pokémon for the rival in {{game|Yellow}}, although {{prof|Oak}} originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee has an irregular genetic code and can sometimes evolve in accordance to its environment. Seven evolutions for this Pokémon have been discovered so far. Three of these evolutions are the result of Eevee being exposed to either a Fire Stone, Thunderstone or Water Stone. Two more of the evolutions involve maximum affection with the {{pkmn|Trainer}} and accordance to the time of day. The final two evolutions are the result of training in two specific areas, [[Eterna Forest]] and [[Route 217]].
===Physiology===
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-colored. Eevee has brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of {{wp|raccoon}}s, {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s, and {{wp|cat}}s.
====Gender differences====
No gender differences are known.

===Special abilities===
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are Normal-type attacks such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, but it can also {{m|bite}} its opponents and use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, it's unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Wish}}. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trump Card}}. Some Eevee have the ability {{a|Adaptability}}, which makes any Normal-type attack that they use become stronger than when used by any other Normal-type Pokémon whose attack power is the same as Eevee's. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon. This code may also shed some light on one of its abilities, {{a|Adaptability}}.

===Behavior===
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks but are usually affectionate, loyal and fairly energetic Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in [[Kanto]], but have been seen in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Ursula Eevee.png|250px|thumb|Eevee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]====
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. The egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', and evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

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

====Other====
Eevee first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older [[Eevee brothers|brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated [[Team Rocket]], Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

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

An Eevee appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

Two Eevee appeared in [[DP174]], under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved during her performance.

===Minor appearances===
[[Ritchie]] consulted [[Professor Oak]] on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns an Eevee in the Japanese version.

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

{{Animedexbody|EP040|Eevee|Ash's Pokédex|Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. It has the potential to evolve into one of three different Pokémon.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Eevee is featured in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] under the ownership of [[Eevee brothers#In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga|Mikey]].

Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. Another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears and shows its love for [[Eevee (MPJ)|Coconut's Eevee]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single Pokémon]]. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}, though not at will. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee. When it evolves into [[Vui|Espeon]], however, it loses its mutation ability.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]], during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}.

==Trivia==
*Fans have come up with a term to refer to all Pokémon which evolve from Eevee: [[Eeveelution]]s.
**All of Eevee's evolutions end in the suffix -eon.
**Eevee and its [[evolution]]s all have a [[catch rate]] of 45.
**Each Eeveelution has identical base stat totals, as well as the same 130-110-95-65-65-60 amounts. What differs among them is what amount is allotted to which stat.
*In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be "captured". However, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was eventually changed in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|sequel]].
*Eevee's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Girafarig}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
*Eevee's [[Generation I]] evolutions: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} can be obtained at level 1 since an [[evolutionary stone]] is required for each, while its [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] evolutions can be obtained at level 2, because they require leveling up when a certain condition is met.
*If Eevee's happiness is raised to a maximum while in [[Eterna Forest]] or on [[Route 217]], it will not evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}; instead becoming {{p|Leafeon}} or {{p|Glaceon}}, respectively.
*Eevee and {{p|Tyrogue}} are the only Pokémon that can [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|evolve into more than two Pokémon]], if {{p|Wormadam}}'s alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
*Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one ability. The other two are {{p|Trapinch}} and {{p|Sneasel}}.
*Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}} and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, an evolution of an Eevee was never seen on screen in the anime until [[DP174]] when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
*During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of several Pokémon in Generation II and on, however, its only distinction now is its ability to evolve into as many species as it is able: currently seven.
**Eevee is one of two Pokémon that evolve with the Thunderstone. The other is {{p|Pikachu}}.
*{{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild. Interestingly, when it is caught, it knows four [[status move]]s.
*All of Eevee's evolutions so far have had their elemental type be one whose moves were formerly governed solely by the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat. The only formerly all-special elemental type not covered is {{t|Dragon}}.
*{{m|Bite}} is the only move learned by Eevee that gets a [[same-type attack bonus]] for {{p|Umbreon|one of its evolved forms}}.
**Abnormally for a Normal-type Pokémon, it can learn only five moves that are not themselves Normal-type: {{m|Mud-Slap}} ({{t|Ground}}), {{m|Bite}} ({{t|Dark}}), {{m|Iron Tail}} ({{t|Steel}}), {{m|Dig}} ({{t|Ground}}), and {{m|Shadow Ball}} ({{t|Ghost}}). This is likely so as to limit the movepools of its evolutions to moves of their own types.
*Eevee is the only Pokémon that is [[Gift Pokémon|given by an NPC]] in all four generations.
*Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Azurill}}.
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation so far to not have an evolution for Eevee.
*Eevee's Pokédex entry in [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] implies that it's an endangered species. However, it can be easily caught multiple times in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum via the trophy garden.
:-However, the Trophy Garden is home to many rare pokemon which are not usually found in the wild such as {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Pichu}} and so many fans believe it to be the exception which proves the rule.

===Origin===
It has traits of {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s. It is possibly based on the folklore of {{wp|Tanuki}}, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}. It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the foxes ability to adapt to extreme enviroments, like the desert fox, and the arctic fox.

====Name origin====
Eevee's name is a pronunciation of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon," the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee, which probably is a shortening of "evolution". Eon also means a long time, which is how long it takes for {{wp|evolution}} to take place in the real world.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Evoli
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Evoli- A combination of ''évolution'' (evolution) and ''-li'', the suffix for all French Eeveelutions.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 이브이 ''Ibeui''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 伊布 ''Yī Bù'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

Wikid: /* The Bird & ??? types */

==The Bird & ??? types==

I added Bird and ??? type to the template. Although they are not really conventional types. I do think they should be included, maybe you should seperate them a little? I really can't get my head round metawiki's silly table formatting code. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:26, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Disagree with including Bird, but the ??? I can concur with. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:28, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bird should probably be linked to in the [[Glitch]] article then. Can you take it out of the template? I'ld only screw it up. o_o - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:31, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying, and...well, screwing it up. XD

I think that the Bird type needs to come out of the table and for the ??? to go under the other special types so that the table is symmetrical. It's not really neccessary to make explicit reference to the Bird type in the table if its a type that isn't meant to appear in normal gameplay. Also, the ??? page doesn't exist and should it include the Missingno.s in RSE where they are repesented by the ? enclosed by a circle?

That's weird I had made the ??? page, look in my contributions. Looks like metaiwki doesn't like the question marks... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 08:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

k then what does "The '''(type) type''' is one of the seventeen [[elemental types]]." need to be changed to? Nineteen, eighteen, or leave it? --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 10:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Methinks they need to be separated from the main 17 and listed separately... -- [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 10:33, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, the BIRD type has been removed - it only needs to be mentioned in maybe one of the game mechanics pages or in a missingno. article.

I think that the ??? isn't a type to itself - its more a lack of a type. So really ??? shouldn't be classed as a type because it has no defining features like pokemon to represent it, no type weaknesses and resistances and the Curse changes effect with types and does no damage at all.

Curse does indirect damage when used by Ghost-types. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:46, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Exactly, '''indirect''' damage. ??? has no effect other than display. Curse could be grass type and still do the exact same thing.
--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 01:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This is minor, but shouldn't the "normal" elements be listed as "physical" elements? Is not that the generally accepted term for the opposite of the special elements?--[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 06:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The ??? type DOES have a Pokémon to represent it.*cough*Arceus*cough*--[[User:Frostagin|Frostagin]] 18:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Several people here have expressed (to greater or lesser degrees) that they think there should only be said to be a total of 17 types as they believe the ???-type isn't really a type. However, this wiki should really be based more on the fact (as opposed to people's beliefs) and the fact is ??? appears in the type category for pokémon eggs in gen III. It also has a move and Arceus can technically turn into it. Does that not make it a type? What else does it really need?

Therefore, based on all the evidence before us I reckon the page should state there are 18 types to include ???. Does anyone have any problems with that??? [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

== Disambig? ==

Should this be moved to [[Elemental types (game)]], so that the main page can be converted into a disambig for the TCG one? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Even if you do that, it'd still be confusing because they're both games, persey . . . aren't types more often refered to as "Energy Types" in the TCG anyways? --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they are. --Paperfairy [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Paperfairy ☆] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Paperfairy ・] 23:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Then should [[Elemental types (TCG)]] move to [[Energy types (TCG)]]? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say... just "Type (TCG)" seems good enough. That's all it's actually called, anyway. Well, that and "Color." I'd just go with "Type (TCG)." -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 01:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, most just call the GB types types... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Added a little known fact ==

Ah yes, it appears this fact I added is not very widely known, so I figured I'd post a little comment to let everyone know I'm not making this up. ^__^

I was randomly paging through my Pokemon Gold/Silver Player's Guide: the official one released by Nintendo, it has this really cool drawing of Lugia and Ho-oh on the cover and- I digress. Anyway, on the last page it features the type chart, with next to it some explanation about attack damage multipliers. Among the obvious ones about effectiveness of the types, it also mentioned "Damage x 1.5 when the attack type is the same type as the Pokemon that's using it".

Since this is the official guide, I do assume this is indeed a confirmed fact for the Gold and Silver series; it'll likely also work in Crystal. I proceeded to test said finding in Ruby and Fire Red and found that it applied there too. For reference, in Ruby I used the example stated in the paragraph I added with the Aron. In Fire Red I used an Ekans with the Poison Sting and Wrap attacks.

Still requiring confirmation:
Japanese versions of the games
Original Red/Blue series
New Diamond and Pearl editions
Spinoffs such as Mystery Dungeon

I'll leave that spot of research to the real Pokémaniacs. (read: I'll leave checking this to the ones who DO own and/or can afford said games. ^__^;; )

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 18:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Items such as Metal Coat and Charcoal now boost moves of their designated type by 20%, an increase from the previous 10%. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 13:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That Damage x 1.5 thing is known among the fandom as [[STAB]], Same-Type Attack Bonus. If it wasn't in there already... I dunno why not.

And the Hold Item boost thing's now 20%? Is that as of DP? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I remembered that term for it just now, thanks for editing it into the text. ^__^ Haven't come across it a lot though; because of that I was mistaken into thinking it was a less known feature. =S My apologies for the sillyness. ^^;

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 23:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Nah, it's cool. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, as of D/P the type-specific items boost 20% instead of 10%. Makes them somewhat worthwhile on heavey hitters. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 14:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Singular over plural? ==

We do it with [[Plate]] and others, why's this still plural? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:Year-and-a-half-old bump. Any reason not to move it? --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 23:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

== A possible idea for dual types ==

Instead of making seperate lists for "Primary (type)-type Pokémon" and "Secondary (type)-type Pokémon", how about we have just one list? For example, with Normal, it'd be like this:

{| {{Bluetable|background: white; margin: auto;}}

''Secondary Normal-type Pokémon''

None.

We could also adjust it for the types that ''do'' have secondary Pokémon of that type. For example, it'd be like this for Fighting:

I think my version is much better, because it saves us the time of making 2 lists for dual types, while still allowing people to see the primaries and secondaries. Discuss. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 22:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

:::Because it saves ''the reader'' the time of ''looking at'' two tables for dual types. We can easily fit all the information into one. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 01:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Indeed. And also saves time for adding new Pokémon for the next Gen. And unless there's any actual difference between being Primary- and Secondary-typed, I vote for merging.

== Stat averages ==

I was thinking we should list the stat averages of not only all Pokémon of the type, but also all fully evolved Pokémon of the type. Does anyone else think we should do this?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Giga Hand|Giga Hand]] ([[User talk:Giga Hand|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Giga Hand|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

:We at Poképédia are actually discussing on that matter on the IRC-chan : what's the big difference between Lapras being Water-Ice and Spheal being Ice-Water ? Did Game Freak put the types "randomly" (wich I doubt, as we could almost rename these guys "Stats-Freaks" considering their evergrowing work on the series...) ? If anyone could bring some answer to that deep mystery, it would greatly be appreciated --[[User:InvocK|InvocK]] 23:18, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

== 2 things ==

1.) This page is starting to look like a project's talk page. Would it be a bad idea to make a Bulbapedia project on the elemental types?

2.) Do we have pages for each type that list all the moves of that type. If we don't, it would be a good idea to start that.

Wikid: /* Intro */

==The Bird & ??? types==

I added Bird and ??? type to the template. Although they are not really conventional types. I do think they should be included, maybe you should seperate them a little? I really can't get my head round metawiki's silly table formatting code. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:26, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Disagree with including Bird, but the ??? I can concur with. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:28, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Bird should probably be linked to in the [[Glitch]] article then. Can you take it out of the template? I'ld only screw it up. o_o - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 21:31, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying, and...well, screwing it up. XD

I think that the Bird type needs to come out of the table and for the ??? to go under the other special types so that the table is symmetrical. It's not really neccessary to make explicit reference to the Bird type in the table if its a type that isn't meant to appear in normal gameplay. Also, the ??? page doesn't exist and should it include the Missingno.s in RSE where they are repesented by the ? enclosed by a circle?

That's weird I had made the ??? page, look in my contributions. Looks like metaiwki doesn't like the question marks... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 08:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

k then what does "The '''(type) type''' is one of the seventeen [[elemental types]]." need to be changed to? Nineteen, eighteen, or leave it? --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 10:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Methinks they need to be separated from the main 17 and listed separately... -- [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 10:33, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, the BIRD type has been removed - it only needs to be mentioned in maybe one of the game mechanics pages or in a missingno. article.

I think that the ??? isn't a type to itself - its more a lack of a type. So really ??? shouldn't be classed as a type because it has no defining features like pokemon to represent it, no type weaknesses and resistances and the Curse changes effect with types and does no damage at all.

Curse does indirect damage when used by Ghost-types. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:46, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Exactly, '''indirect''' damage. ??? has no effect other than display. Curse could be grass type and still do the exact same thing.
--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 01:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This is minor, but shouldn't the "normal" elements be listed as "physical" elements? Is not that the generally accepted term for the opposite of the special elements?--[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 06:09, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The ??? type DOES have a Pokémon to represent it.*cough*Arceus*cough*--[[User:Frostagin|Frostagin]] 18:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Several people here have expressed (to greater or lesser degrees) that they think there should only be said to be a total of 17 types as they believe the ???-type isn't really a type. However, this wiki should really be based more on the fact (as opposed to people's beliefs) and the fact is ??? appears in the type category for pokémon eggs in gen III. It also has a move and Arceus can technically turn into it. Does that not make it a type? What else does it really need?

Therefore, based on all the evidence before us I reckon the page should state there are 18 types to include ???. Does anyone have any problems with that? [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

== Disambig? ==

Should this be moved to [[Elemental types (game)]], so that the main page can be converted into a disambig for the TCG one? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Even if you do that, it'd still be confusing because they're both games, persey . . . aren't types more often refered to as "Energy Types" in the TCG anyways? --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 21:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they are. --Paperfairy [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Paperfairy ☆] [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Paperfairy ・] 23:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Then should [[Elemental types (TCG)]] move to [[Energy types (TCG)]]? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say... just "Type (TCG)" seems good enough. That's all it's actually called, anyway. Well, that and "Color." I'd just go with "Type (TCG)." -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 01:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, most just call the GB types types... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

== Added a little known fact ==

Ah yes, it appears this fact I added is not very widely known, so I figured I'd post a little comment to let everyone know I'm not making this up. ^__^

I was randomly paging through my Pokemon Gold/Silver Player's Guide: the official one released by Nintendo, it has this really cool drawing of Lugia and Ho-oh on the cover and- I digress. Anyway, on the last page it features the type chart, with next to it some explanation about attack damage multipliers. Among the obvious ones about effectiveness of the types, it also mentioned "Damage x 1.5 when the attack type is the same type as the Pokemon that's using it".

Since this is the official guide, I do assume this is indeed a confirmed fact for the Gold and Silver series; it'll likely also work in Crystal. I proceeded to test said finding in Ruby and Fire Red and found that it applied there too. For reference, in Ruby I used the example stated in the paragraph I added with the Aron. In Fire Red I used an Ekans with the Poison Sting and Wrap attacks.

Still requiring confirmation:
Japanese versions of the games
Original Red/Blue series
New Diamond and Pearl editions
Spinoffs such as Mystery Dungeon

I'll leave that spot of research to the real Pokémaniacs. (read: I'll leave checking this to the ones who DO own and/or can afford said games. ^__^;; )

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 18:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Items such as Metal Coat and Charcoal now boost moves of their designated type by 20%, an increase from the previous 10%. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 13:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That Damage x 1.5 thing is known among the fandom as [[STAB]], Same-Type Attack Bonus. If it wasn't in there already... I dunno why not.

And the Hold Item boost thing's now 20%? Is that as of DP? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I remembered that term for it just now, thanks for editing it into the text. ^__^ Haven't come across it a lot though; because of that I was mistaken into thinking it was a less known feature. =S My apologies for the sillyness. ^^;

--[[User:Democalypse|Democalypse]] 23:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Nah, it's cool. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, as of D/P the type-specific items boost 20% instead of 10%. Makes them somewhat worthwhile on heavey hitters. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 14:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Singular over plural? ==

We do it with [[Plate]] and others, why's this still plural? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:Year-and-a-half-old bump. Any reason not to move it? --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 23:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

== A possible idea for dual types ==

Instead of making seperate lists for "Primary (type)-type Pokémon" and "Secondary (type)-type Pokémon", how about we have just one list? For example, with Normal, it'd be like this:

None.

We could also adjust it for the types that ''do'' have secondary Pokémon of that type. For example, it'd be like this for Fighting:

I think my version is much better, because it saves us the time of making 2 lists for dual types, while still allowing people to see the primaries and secondaries. Discuss. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 22:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
:If there are no oppositions by tomorrow, I'll apply this new format to the type pages. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 01:25, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
::See, you say this'll "save us the time of making two tables," but the tables are made. Doing this will only take more time.
::At any rate, I can't see any real advantage to doing it... why do you think it's a good idea? --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 01:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Because it saves ''the reader'' the time of ''looking at'' two tables for dual types. We can easily fit all the information into one. [[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]] 01:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Indeed. And also saves time for adding new Pokémon for the next Gen. And unless there's any actual difference between being Primary- and Secondary-typed, I vote for merging. Heck, ''I'' would gladly do that! =D -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 22:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

== Stat averages ==

I was thinking we should list the stat averages of not only all Pokémon of the type, but also all fully evolved Pokémon of the type. Does anyone else think we should do this?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Giga Hand|Giga Hand]] ([[User talk:Giga Hand|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Giga Hand|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:Actually, that's a good idea. Care to calculate this? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:42, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Secondary/Primary ==

I think it deserves its own section: is there any actual difference, game-wise, if the Pokémon is primary-typed or secondary-typed? I fail to see any... -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 22:48, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

:We at Poképédia are actually discussing on that matter on the IRC-chan : what's the big difference between Lapras being Water-Ice and Spheal being Ice-Water ? Did Game Freak put the types "randomly" (wich I doubt, as we could almost rename these guys "Stats-Freaks" considering their evergrowing work on the series...) ? If anyone could bring some answer to that deep mystery, it would greatly be appreciated --[[User:InvocK|InvocK]] 23:18, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
::The order matters for the data, as in, it's ''wrong'' to call Lapras an Ice/Water Pokémon, but there's no difference in STAB or weaknesses as far as I've seen. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:28, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

== 2 things ==

1.) This page is starting to look like a project's talk page. Would it be a bad idea to make a Bulbapedia project on the elemental types?

2.) Do we have pages for each type that list all the moves of that type. If we don't, it would be a good idea to start that.

--[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]7 16:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Nvm about #2. He he --[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]7 21:13, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, it would be. There are 17 articles to cover, not including the glitch articles which are covered by GlitchDex anyway. There is no need for a project with such small a scope. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:33, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

== Non-damaging moves ==

Is it REALLY necessary to have a cat that states it's Status? I mean, they're all the same... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 03:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
:Do you mean {{cat|Status moves|this}}? We have {{cat|Physical moves|this}} and {{cat|Special moves|this}}, so it makes sense to have one for status moves. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:32, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
::Oh, sorry. I didn't mean category. I mean column. Under the Status section of a move type such as [[Flying (type)#Moves|this]] under the non-damaging moves section, there is a list of moves that have the status category. Isn't that implied that these moves are of the Status category? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
:::Hrm. Yeah, it would be. I like having them separated; it makes searching easier. I wouldn't be opposed to mashing them together, though, or perhaps doing three subsections for each category. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:48, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Q ◣

2009-05-27T03:08:35Z

Wikid: /* By leveling up */

{{GlitchPkmnInfobox|
name=Q |

imgsize=80|
caption=Q|
ndex=121 |
typen=2|
type1=Water |
type2=Psychic |

}}

'''Q''' is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} [[Glitch Pokémon]].

It evolves from {{p|44Hy}} at Level 6.

Its number is 122, and because it is a {{2t|Water|Psychic}}-type, this suggests it is a hybrid of {{p|Starmie}}.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Certain physiological aspects of Q apparently enable it to behave in ways unique to its species (most notably, enabling the [[Q Glitch|Q glitch]]).
===Habitat===
[[Image:GlitchHabitat.png|thumb|right|[[Glitch Pokémon]]]]
Q has no specific habitat because it was never programmed to be in a specific area, nor was it ever programmed for the player to find it. Since it only exists in Generation I, it must exist in the [[Kanto]] region. It has no habitat relating to the [[Mew glitch]]. Its type suggests it may exist in a watery environment. Theoretically, it could also exist in some [[Glitch City]]-like location.
==Game Data==
===Obtaining Q===
There are only two ways to obtain a Q; by evolving a [[44Hy]] or trading a [[Charizard 'M]] from the Red/Blue versions. It is easier to evolve a [[44Hy]] since Charizard 'M is hard to obtain. Q cannot be seen in the Menu or caught by directly using the [[Mew Glitch]]. Because of this, Q is one of the few Glitch Pokémon that cannot be caught by directly using the Mew glitch (Not counting the numerous [[Glitch Pokémon]] that can be caught only with [[GameShark]], or [['M]]). After evolving, Q will be nicknamed "TM55".

Normally, a Pokémon with a special stat of 255 would make a Q appear using method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]]. However, when this is done the game freezes.

===Game locations===
{{AvailabilityGlitch|

===In the party===
Whenever Q is the first Pokémon in the party, all of the Pokémon below it will be invisible. The player's [[party]] will then be unable to be healed at any [[Pokémon Center]]. The only way to heal them is to use items such as [[Revive]]. If Q is moved to the bottom of your party, all other Pokémon will once again be visible and be able to be healed at a Pokémon Center. Once Q faints, it can only be healed with a Revive or similar item.

===[[Q Glitch|Duplication trick]]===
Due to Q's unusual behavior, it and its Red/Blue equivalent [[Charizard 'M]] are the only Pokémon that enable a player to a unique trick, often called the "[[Q Glitch|Q trick]]"[http://glitchcity.info/docs/q]. It involves depositing Q and other Pokémon into Bill's PC in a certain order, and then when they are retrieved, the Pokémon's attacks and stats will be transferred from one Pokémon to another.

==In Generation II==
When viewing Q in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it will appear as [[Five question marks|?????]] as the number '''#255'''.

Ghost (type)

Wikid: /* Characteristics */

{{ElementalTypes|ghost}}
{{TypeNotice|Ghost|ゴースト|Ghost}}

[[Image:Ghost.png|right|thumb|The [[literal ghost]] seen in Pokémon Tower]]

==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
Ghost-type moves:
*Are super effective against: '''Ghost'''
*Are not very effective against: None ({{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} weren't introduced until Generation II)
*Have no effect against: {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Psychic}}

Ghost-type Pokémon:
*Resist: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Poison}}
*Are weak to: '''Ghost'''
*Have immunity to: {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Normal}}

===Generation II-onward===
Ghost-type moves:
*Are super effective against: '''Ghost''', {{t|Psychic}}
*Are not very effective against: {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Steel}}
*Have no effect against: {{t|Normal}}

Ghost-type Pokémon:
*Resist: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Poison}}
*Are weak to: {{t|Dark}}, '''Ghost'''
*Have immunity to: {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Normal}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost-type is one of the smallest [[elemental types]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack called Curse, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move, works differently for Ghost-types than it does for other Pokémon.

Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or paralysis. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}.

It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost-type are covered by the resistances of the {{type2|Dark}}, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is also always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well, making for a weakness.

When used in contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

In total, there are 18 Pokémon with the Ghost-type, and so accounts for 3.7% of the entire pokédex, making it the rarest of all types to be had by a Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ghost-type species were not introduced until [[Generation II]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon. This contradicts both official type charts published by Nintendo for their Red/Blue/Yellow strategy guides as well as the {{pkmn|anime}} where it was said that Ghost-types are the best type to fight Psychic-type Pokémon. It is the only elemental type to go from 0× effectiveness to 2× effectiveness on another type between generations.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an accuracy lower than 100%, as all of them have a 100% accuracy or never miss.
* Ghost-type Pokémon are the only {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} that can have more than one immunity.
* The Ghost-type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the Dragon-type. Coincidentally, {{p|Giratina}} is a combination of both types.
* All Ghost-type Pokémon which have a second type that is weak to Ground-type attacks have the {{a|Levitate}} ability, so there is no Ghost-type Pokémon that is weak to Ground-type attacks.
* Ghost and Dark are the only two types that are super-effective against the same types: Psychic and Ghost.
* Ghost is the least abundant type among Pokémon, with only 18 Pokémon of this type among the 493 total.
* So far, the only Ghost-type attack with a base power greater than 80 is {{m|Shadow Force}}, which is [[signature move|exclusive]] to {{p|Giratina}}.

'''44Hy''' is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} [[Glitch Pokémon]].

It evolves into [[Q]] at Level 6.

44Hy can be found in the {{v|Yellow}} of the Pokémon games. 44Hy are found by completing Method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]] using a Pokémon with a Special [[stat]] of 192. The {{game|Red and Blue|s}} equivalent of this glitch is [[a (lowercase)|a]].

==Biology==
===Habitat===
[[Image:GlitchHabitat.png|thumb|right|[[Glitch Pokémon]]]]
44Hy has no specific habitat because it was never programmed to be in a specific area, nor was it ever programmed for the player to find it. Since it only exists in Generation I, it must exist in the [[Kanto]] region. Its habitat is confirmed to exist in any location where a trainer in the Red/Blue/Yellow versions can be escaped from before being seen (see [[Mew glitch]]). Theoretically, it could also exist in some [[Glitch City]]-like location.

'''Missingno.''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} [[Glitch Pokémon]]. Due to the ease of which it can be found, it is one of the best-known Glitch Pokémon

In later generations, other Glitch Pokémon are referred to as "a Missingno.", despite there being little relation to the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, except perhaps via a shared number of 000.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Missingno.png|thumb|frame|right|Missingno.'s five sprites, four of which are from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, one of which is from {{game|Yellow}}.]]

Missingno. has five different forms, each triggered by a different letter being present in the name of the player as the third, fifth, or seventh character.

The most common form Missingno. takes is a strange block of glitched pixels in a backward-L shape, similar to a {{wp|Tetris}} piece. This form appears if G, H, J, M, S, :, ], a, b, c, m, o, p, or v is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name. Due to the default name of '''ASH''', after the {{pkmn|anime}}'s {{Ash|main character}}, this is the most well-known Missingno. form. It is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

A second form of Missingno. takes the sprite of the {{p|Kabutops}} fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It can appear in two ways:
#If a lowercase "w" is present in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name and he or she performs the [[Old Man glitch]].
#Through the [[Mew glitch]] (method 3) with a Pokémon with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 182.

The third form Missingno. has is of the other fossil found in the museum, of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Like the Kabutops fossil, it is obtainable:
#Through the Old Man glitch, with a lowercase "x" in the third, fifth, or seventh slots.
#Through method 3 of the Mew glitch, using a Pokémon with a Special stat of 183.

The fourth Missingno. uses the sprite of the [[Literal ghost|ghost]] found in the [[Pokémon Tower]] if the player does not have a [[Silph Scope]]. In Japanese games, this form of Missingno. is named literally as "Ghost" (ゴースト), thus sharing its name with the real Pokémon {{p|Haunter}}. Like the previous forms, it appears:
#With a lowercase "y" in the player's name in the third, fifth, or seventh slot during the Old Man glitch.
#Through the Mew glitch (method 3) with a Pokémon with a Special stat of 184.

Missingno.'s fifth form appears only in {{game|Yellow}}, and cannot be encountered except through the Mew glitch due to the removal of the Old Man glitch from the games. This sprite uses the palette of {{p|Pikachu}}, and so appears as a yellow and red glitched box. The Special stat required to encounter it with the Mew glitch is either 31, 32, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, or 86.

==Gender differences==
Due to its appearance being only in the [[Generation I]] games, Missingno. is not known to have a gender, as they were not specified until [[Generation II]].

==Special abilities==
Missingno. is notable as being one of the few non-Flying-type Pokémon who can learn {{m|Sky Attack}}.

Missingno.'s appearance in-battle allows what is commonly known as the "[[Rare Candy cheat]]," {{game|Red and Blue|s}}'s infamous item duplication bug. It is commonly used to duplicate valuable and hard-to-obtain items, such as the [[Rare Candy]] (hence the name of the cheat). However, the duplication bug can affect any item in the game, not just Rare Candies. It even affects key items, making it nearly impossible to deposit them in the PC. However, this does allow players to revive a large number of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Omanyte}}/{{p|Kabuto}}.

Encountering Missingno. has been known to interfere with the save game data in various ways, such as adversely affecting the [[Hall of Fame]] saved data and (if its stats are viewed) messing with some graphics until the stats of a normal Pokémon are viewed. However, neither of these do any significant damage.

===Behavior===
Having appeared in no canon other than the games, and having no discernable [[Pokédex]] information, Missingno. has no known behavior.

===Habitat===
[[Image:GlitchHabitat.png|thumb|right|[[Glitch Pokémon]]]]
Missingno., unlike most other Glitch Pokémon, has a standard habitat of the east coastline of [[Cinnabar Island]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]], as a result of the [[Rare Candy cheat]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Missingno.'s dietary specifications are unknown.

==Trading Missingno.==
Missingno. can be traded from Red and Blue into {{game|Yellow}}, but cannot be traded forward through the [[Time Capsule]] into {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In Yellow, Missingno. levels down to level 1 if it gains any experience, and cannot grow any higher. The only way to use a Missingno. at a different level in battle is to use a [[link cable]] to battle between two games.

In the trade center, Missingno., due to its [[index number]], appears as many different [[Generation II]] Pokémon from the perspective of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, most commonly {{p|Tyrogue}} (due to the common name of ASH in Generation I). If the player tries to trade Missingno., a message will appear stating "''Your <name> appears abnormal''." and the trade will automatically be cancelled. Rarely, if a Missingno. is successfully traded, it will become the Pokémon it was said to be, and act normally (though it will retain any and all attacks). At this point, it only may be traded back into the Generation I game while the player is still in the Time Capsule (where it will again become a Missingno.), as if the player leaves, the Generation II game will detect it as a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and not allow the player to enter.

==Why Missingno. appears==
Missingno. appears due to an oversight in the programming of the Old Man's tutorial in [[Viridian City]] on how to catch Pokémon. When the game sets up the battle between the Old Man and a wild {{p|Weedle}}, it needs to change the player's name (temporarily) to "OLD MAN" so that it will display that name, rather than the player's entered name, during the battle.

Due to the limited space on a [[Game Boy]] cartridge, the programmers decided to use the space where data for [[wild Pokémon]] found in the grass is stored (which is completely blank in Viridian City; only {{m|Surf}}ing and [[Fishing]] data is used) to save the player's name temporarily. Normally, this would cause no abnormal activity, as this data is overwritten when the player moves to a different area.

In all cities, however, this data remains blank, and so the data is never overwritten (as there is nothing new to overwrite it with), and thus, the data that was last entered (be it the player's name or the wild Pokémon data from another area) remains in place. This itself ''still'' causes no harm; however, an oversight in the programming of the tiles used to denote the shore of an island marks them as equivalent to grass. As all [[water routes]] have no ''real'' grass on them, likewise, the data is not overwritten, and so whatever data is in the slots for wild Pokémon found in the grass is used, be it the player's name or wild Pokémon found elsewhere, such as the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].

The name of the player has six hexadecimal values in it. The game needs only three "slots" of wild Pokémon data to store this.

The species of wild Pokémon the player encounters along the coast are determined by the third, fifth, and seventh characters of the player's name, while their levels are determined by the second, fourth, and sixth characters, respectively. By knowing which letters and symbols correspond to which species and levels, through the use of certain calculators and charts (such as [http://glitchcity.info/misc/namegen2]), it is possible to set the name of the player at the start of the game to find specific Pokémon at specific levels.

==In Pokémon Yellow==
[[Image:MissingnoYellow.jpg|thumb|right|Using the Mew glitch to encounter Missingno. in {{game|Yellow}}. Note the vast difference between this and the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.]]

Through the development of {{game|Yellow}}, which occurred in the two years following the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} in Japan, the [[Rare Candy cheat|old method]] of finding Missingno. was disabled by blanking the data for wild Pokémon before overwriting it, and reprogramming shore tiles to act as water tiles.

Despite this, some time later, a new way was discovered to find Missingno., as well as any other Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, earning it the name of the [[Mew glitch]]. Through the third described method to this glitch, using a Pokémon with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, or 86, the Yellow Missingno. will appear.

Though a traded Missingno. from Red and Blue will become this Missingno., however, they do not have the same effects on gameplay. Yellow Missingno. is known to be far more malicious than its earlier counterpart, frequently freezing the game on an encounter, and corrupting and deleting data from saved files it is on. If caught, it will cause graphical glitches, possibly rendering the player invisible and making duplicates of the player walk all over the screen.

==In Pokémon Stadium==
When viewed in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Missingno. will appear as a tiny {{p|Rhydon}} doll (the appearance of a {{m|substitute}}), while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Missingno. will show up as a {{p|Ditto}}, and if the game is saved via Stadium 2, will then become a Ditto permanently.

==Nintendo on Missingno.==
Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section<ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">[http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#missingno Nintendo - Consumer Service]</ref>:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the Flight Safari Zone Pokémon trick [or Viridian Old Man trick]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNO Pokémon."</blockquote>

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
If Missingno. is caught, it will not appear in the Pokédex (unless caught via the Mew Glitch BEFORE passing through [[Rock Tunnel]] or getting it as a starter by using a cheat device, and even then, the entry is blank). This is because the bit of data that tells the game that Missingno. is captured is the same as the data for battling a Cubone, and there are unavoidable trainers in Rock Tunnel who use Cubone. Because of this, there is no official Pokédex description for Missingno. If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, it will consist of a very long string of glitchy sounds, much like [[.4]] or [[H POKé|h Poké]]'s entries. However, unlike their entries, Missingno.'s does not lock up the game.

==Trivia==
[[Image:MissingnoPokedex3.PNG|thumb|right|Missingno.'s [[Pokédex]] data.]]
* If counted among normal Pokémon, Missingno. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stat]] of all in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the ninth highest of all Pokémon as of [[Generation IV]]. Likewise, it has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat, only losing to {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} which each have a base Speed of 5 each.
** Missingno.'s base Defense is the lowest of any base stat at all, surpassing even {{p|Shedinja}}'s notorious base 1 HP.
* At 3,507.2 lbs, Missingno. is much [[List of Pokémon by weight|heavier]] than any regular Pokémon, its weight surpassing even {{p|Groudon}}'s. In comparison, [['M]]'s weight is 880.6 lbs, meaning that Missingno. is about four times heavier than 'M. Missingno. is about half the weight of [[h POKé]], the heaviest known Pokémon of any kind.
* Missingno.'s height is 10'0". In comparison, [['M]] is more than twice as tall, at a height of 23'0". This makes Missingno. the [[List of Pokémon by height|19th tallest Pokémon]] when compared to non-Glitch Pokémon.
* Missingno.'s cry is the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s voice with a pitch of 0 and no echo. However, a few Missingno. have different cries.
* Before the truth about why Missingno. exists was known, many fans speculated that it was a removed [[legendary Pokémon]] (given its extremely low catch rate, one can see the reasoning behind this).
* In its normal form, it shares the exact same movepool as 'M, with two exceptions; it doesn't learn {{m|Pound}}, and it can use [[TM50]] to learn {{m|Substitute}}.
* If Missingno.'s [[Pokédex]] data is somehow accessed, it will consist of a very long string of glitched sounds. It will reveal that Missingno.'s Pokédex classification is "???", and it has a blank entry. Unlike [[.4]]'s or [[h POKé]]'s Pokédex data, however, it will not lock up the game. Also when it's accessed when Missingno is first caught, Missingno will turn into a Rhydon.
* A rumor claims that the player must have five or less [[Pokémon]] with him or her if he or she actually tries to catch Missingno., otherwise, his or her game may malfunction when he or she tries to withdraw it from [[Bill's PC]]. (If, of course, a player has six [[Pokémon]] at the time Missingno. is caught, Missingno. will be sent to Bill's PC, just like any other Pokémon.) This rumor will only hold true, however, if the Pokémon in question is level 0. It is, though, impossible to encounter a Missingno. at level 0, so it is possible to extract Missingno. from Bill's PC without game malfunction. The rumor most likely started due to the common nature of level 0 [['M]], which would indeed produce this effect.
* As mentioned before, if the Elite Four is defeated and the Hall of Fame option appears in the PC, seeing Missingno. will cause very distorted characters, glitched names and completely different Pokémon to show up instead of the player's Pokémon who have beaten the Elite Four. The Hall of Fame is the only extremely noticeable change after seeing Missingno.
* Though Missingno. cannot usually be traded into [[Generation II]], it will appear to be a G/S/C Pokémon such as {{p|Remoraid}} or {{p|Stantler}} on the trade screen for Gold/Silver/Crystal, depending on its [[index number]]. If successfully traded to a Generation II game, it will turn into the Pokémon that the Generation II game called it.
* As Missingno. is caught at a [[level]] higher than 100, it is possible to increase its level even higher by using Rare Candies. The maximum level it reaches is 255, and if another Rare Candy is used, it will revert to level 0.
** If a Missingno. with a level higher than 100 gains any amount of experience, it will revert permanently to level 100. In fact, this will happen with any Pokémon over level 100.

====Name origin====
Missingno.'s English and Japanese names are both derived from "missing number", a reference to its number as 000, the missing number before 001, {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

'''Missingno.''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} [[Glitch Pokémon]]. Due to the ease of which it can be found, it is one of the best-known Glitch Pokémon

In later generations, other Glitch Pokémon are referred to as "a Missingno.", despite there being little relation to the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, except perhaps via a shared number of 000.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Missingno.png|thumb|frame|right|Missingno.'s five sprites, four of which are from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, one of which is from {{game|Yellow}}.]]

Missingno. has five different forms, each triggered by a different letter being present in the name of the player as the third, fifth, or seventh character.

The most common form Missingno. takes is a strange block of glitched pixels in a backward-L shape, similar to a {{wp|Tetris}} piece. This form appears if G, H, J, M, S, :, ], a, b, c, m, o, p, or v is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name. Due to the default name of '''ASH''', after the {{pkmn|anime}}'s {{Ash|main character}}, this is the most well-known Missingno. form. It is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

A second form of Missingno. takes the sprite of the {{p|Kabutops}} fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It can appear in two ways:
#If a lowercase "w" is present in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name and he or she performs the [[Old Man glitch]].
#Through the [[Mew glitch]] (method 3) with a Pokémon with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 182.

The third form Missingno. has is of the other fossil found in the museum, of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Like the Kabutops fossil, it is obtainable:
#Through the Old Man glitch, with a lowercase "x" in the third, fifth, or seventh slots.
#Through method 3 of the Mew glitch, using a Pokémon with a Special stat of 183.

The fourth Missingno. uses the sprite of the [[Literal ghost|ghost]] found in the [[Pokémon Tower]] if the player does not have a [[Silph Scope]]. In Japanese games, this form of Missingno. is named literally as "Ghost" (ゴースト), thus sharing its name with the real Pokémon {{p|Haunter}}. Like the previous forms, it appears:
#With a lowercase "y" in the player's name in the third, fifth, or seventh slot during the Old Man glitch.
#Through the Mew glitch (method 3) with a Pokémon with a Special stat of 184.

Missingno.'s fifth form appears only in {{game|Yellow}}, and cannot be encountered except through the Mew glitch due to the removal of the Old Man glitch from the games. This sprite uses the palette of {{p|Pikachu}}, and so appears as a yellow and red glitched box. The Special stat required to encounter it with the Mew glitch is either 31, 32, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, or 86.

==Gender differences==
Due to its appearance being only in the [[Generation I]] games, Missingno. is not known to have a gender, as they were not specified until [[Generation II]].

==Special abilities==
Missingno. is notable as being one of the few non-Flying-type Pokémon who can learn {{m|Sky Attack}}.

Missingno.'s appearance in-battle allows what is commonly known as the "[[Rare Candy cheat]]," {{game|Red and Blue|s}}'s infamous item duplication bug. It is commonly used to duplicate valuable and hard-to-obtain items, such as the [[Rare Candy]] (hence the name of the cheat). However, the duplication bug can affect any item in the game, not just Rare Candies. It even affects key items, making it nearly impossible to deposit them in the PC. However, this does allow players to revive a large number of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Omanyte}}/{{p|Kabuto}}.

Encountering Missingno. has been known to interfere with the save game data in various ways, such as adversely affecting the [[Hall of Fame]] saved data and (if its stats are viewed) messing with some graphics until the stats of a normal Pokémon are viewed. However, neither of these do any significant damage.

===Behavior===
Having appeared in no canon other than the games, and having no discernable [[Pokédex]] information, Missingno. has no known behavior.

===Habitat===
[[Image:GlitchHabitat.png|thumb|right|[[Glitch Pokémon]]]]
Missingno., unlike most other Glitch Pokémon, has a standard habitat of the east coastline of [[Cinnabar Island]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]], as a result of the [[Rare Candy cheat]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Missingno.'s dietary specifications are unknown.

==Trading Missingno.==
Missingno. can be traded from Red and Blue into {{game|Yellow}}, but cannot be traded forward through the [[Time Capsule]] into {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In Yellow, Missingno. levels down to level 1 if it gains any experience, and cannot grow any higher. The only way to use a Missingno. at a different level in battle is to use a [[link cable]] to battle between two games.

In the trade center, Missingno., due to its [[index number]], appears as many different [[Generation II]] Pokémon from the perspective of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, most commonly {{p|Tyrogue}} (due to the common name of ASH in Generation I). If the player tries to trade Missingno., a message will appear stating "''Your <name> appears abnormal''." and the trade will automatically be cancelled. Rarely, if a Missingno. is successfully traded, it will become the Pokémon it was said to be, and act normally (though it will retain any and all attacks). At this point, it only may be traded back into the Generation I game while the player is still in the Time Capsule (where it will again become a Missingno.), as if the player leaves, the Generation II game will detect it as a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and not allow the player to enter.

==Why Missingno. appears==
Missingno. appears due to an oversight in the programming of the Old Man's tutorial in [[Viridian City]] on how to catch Pokémon. When the game sets up the battle between the Old Man and a wild {{p|Weedle}}, it needs to change the player's name (temporarily) to "OLD MAN" so that it will display that name, rather than the player's entered name, during the battle.

Due to the limited space on a [[Game Boy]] cartridge, the programmers decided to use the space where data for [[wild Pokémon]] found in the grass is stored (which is completely blank in Viridian City; only {{m|Surf}}ing and [[Fishing]] data is used) to save the player's name temporarily. Normally, this would cause no abnormal activity, as this data is overwritten when the player moves to a different area.

In all cities, however, this data remains blank, and so the data is never overwritten (as there is nothing new to overwrite it with), and thus, the data that was last entered (be it the player's name or the wild Pokémon data from another area) remains in place. This itself ''still'' causes no harm; however, an oversight in the programming of the tiles used to denote the shore of an island marks them as equivalent to grass. As all [[water routes]] have no ''real'' grass on them, likewise, the data is not overwritten, and so whatever data is in the slots for wild Pokémon found in the grass is used, be it the player's name or wild Pokémon found elsewhere, such as the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]].

The name of the player has six hexadecimal values in it. The game needs only three "slots" of wild Pokémon data to store this.

The species of wild Pokémon the player encounters along the coast are determined by the third, fifth, and seventh characters of the player's name, while their levels are determined by the second, fourth, and sixth characters, respectively. By knowing which letters and symbols correspond to which species and levels, through the use of certain calculators and charts (such as [http://glitchcity.info/misc/namegen2]), it is possible to set the name of the player at the start of the game to find specific Pokémon at specific levels.

==In Pokémon Yellow==
[[Image:MissingnoYellow.jpg|thumb|right|Using the Mew glitch to encounter Missingno. in {{game|Yellow}}. Note the vast difference between this and the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.]]

Through the development of {{game|Yellow}}, which occurred in the two years following the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} in Japan, the [[Rare Candy cheat|old method]] of finding Missingno. was disabled by blanking the data for wild Pokémon before overwriting it, and reprogramming shore tiles to act as water tiles.

Despite this, some time later, a new way was discovered to find Missingno., as well as any other Pokémon, including {{p|Mew}}, earning it the name of the [[Mew glitch]]. Through the third described method to this glitch, using a Pokémon with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, or 86, the Yellow Missingno. will appear.

Though a traded Missingno. from Red and Blue will become this Missingno., however, they do not have the same effects on gameplay. Yellow Missingno. is known to be far more malicious than its earlier counterpart, frequently freezing the game on an encounter, and corrupting and deleting data from saved files it is on. If caught, it will cause graphical glitches, possibly rendering the player invisible and making duplicates of the player walk all over the screen.

==In Pokémon Stadium==
When viewed in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Missingno. will appear as a tiny {{p|Rhydon}} doll (the appearance of a {{m|substitute}}), while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Missingno. will show up as a {{p|Ditto}}, and if the game is saved via Stadium 2, will then become a Ditto permanently.

==Nintendo on Missingno.==
Nintendo has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section<ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">[http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#missingno Nintendo - Consumer Service]</ref>:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the Flight Safari Zone Pokémon trick [or Viridian Old Man trick]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNO Pokémon."</blockquote>

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
If Missingno. is caught, it will not appear in the Pokédex (unless caught via the Mew Glitch BEFORE passing through [[Rock Tunnel]] or getting it as a starter by using a cheat device, and even then, the entry is blank). This is because the bit of data that tells the game that Missingno. is captured is the same as the data for battling a Cubone, and there are unavoidable trainers in Rock Tunnel who use Cubone. Because of this, there is no official Pokédex description for Missingno. If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, it will consist of a very long string of glitchy sounds, much like [[.4]] or [[H POKé|h Poké]]'s entries. However, unlike their entries, Missingno.'s does not lock up the game.

==Trivia==
[[Image:MissingnoPokedex3.PNG|thumb|right|Missingno.'s [[Pokédex]] data.]]
* If counted among normal Pokémon, Missingno. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stat]] of all in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the ninth highest of all Pokémon as of [[Generation IV]]. Likewise, it has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat, only losing to {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} which each have a base Speed of 5 each.
** Missingno.'s base Defense is the lowest of any base stat at all, surpassing even {{p|Shedinja}}'s notorious base 1 HP.
* At 3,507.2 lbs, Missingno. is much [[List of Pokémon by weight|heavier]] than any regular Pokémon, its weight surpassing even {{p|Groudon}}'s. In comparison, [['M]]'s weight is 880.6 lbs, meaning that Missingno. is about four times heavier than 'M. Missingno. is about half the weight of [[h POKé]], the heaviest known Pokémon of any kind.
* Missingno.'s height is 10'0". In comparison, [['M]] is more than twice as tall, at a height of 23'0". This makes Missingno. the [[List of Pokémon by height|19th tallest Pokémon]] when compared to non-Glitch Pokémon.
* Missingno.'s cry is the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s voice with a pitch of 0 and no echo. However, a few Missingno. have different cries.
* Before the truth about why Missingno. exists was known, many fans speculated that it was a removed [[legendary Pokémon]] (given its extremely low catch rate, one can see the reasoning behind this).
* In its normal form, it shares the exact same movepool as 'M, with two exceptions; it doesn't learn {{m|Pound}}, and it can use [[TM50]] to learn {{m|Substitute}}.
* If Missingno.'s [[Pokédex]] data is somehow accessed, it will consist of a very long string of glitched sounds. It will reveal that Missingno.'s Pokédex classification is "???", and it has a blank entry. Unlike [[.4]]'s or [[h POKé]]'s Pokédex data, however, it will not lock up the game. Also when it's accessed when Missingno is first caught, Missingno will turn into a Rhydon.
* A rumor claims that the player must have five or less [[Pokémon]] with him or her if he or she actually tries to catch Missingno., otherwise, his or her game may malfunction when he or she tries to withdraw it from [[Bill's PC]]. (If, of course, a player has six [[Pokémon]] at the time Missingno. is caught, Missingno. will be sent to Bill's PC, just like any other Pokémon.) This rumor will only hold true, however, if the Pokémon in question is level 0. It is, though, impossible to encounter a Missingno. at level 0, so it is possible to extract Missingno. from Bill's PC without game malfunction. The rumor most likely started due to the common nature of level 0 [['M]], which would indeed produce this effect.
* As mentioned before, if the Elite Four is defeated and the Hall of Fame option appears in the PC, seeing Missingno. will cause very distorted characters, glitched names and completely different Pokémon to show up instead of the player's Pokémon who have beaten the Elite Four. The Hall of Fame is the only extremely noticeable change after seeing Missingno.
* Though Missingno. cannot usually be traded into [[Generation II]], it will appear to be a G/S/C Pokémon such as {{p|Remoraid}} or {{p|Stantler}} on the trade screen for Gold/Silver/Crystal, depending on its [[index number]]. If successfully traded to a Generation II game, it will turn into the Pokémon that the Generation II game called it.
* As Missingno. is caught at a [[level]] higher than 100, it is possible to increase its level even higher by using Rare Candies. The maximum level it reaches is 255, and if another Rare Candy is used, it will revert to level 0.
** If a Missingno. with a level higher than 100 gains any amount of experience, it will revert permanently to level 100. In fact, this will happen with any Pokémon over level 100.

====Name origin====
Missingno.'s English and Japanese names are both derived from "missing number", a reference to its number as 000, the missing number before 001, {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Fateen

2009-05-18T22:40:49Z

Wikid:

'''Fateen''' (Japanese: '''ビーディ''' ''Beedy'') is an old woman who runs a fortune telling business at the very entrance of Pyrite Town, in [[Orre]]. She does this by [[wp:Scrying|scrying]] in a crystal ball in order to give advice to others and tel their fortunes. She is sometimes known as the "Mother of [[Pyrite Town]]", implying she is native of the area. The old woman gets almost as much respect from the town's citizens as [[Duking]]. Everyone in town knows her and has asked for her advice at one time or another. Many Pokémon trainers ask her if they will win battles or tournaments; others ask about romance.

Although Fateen appears at first the stereotypical trickster, she does possess actual psychic talent. She is the one who gives [[Wes]] and [[Rui]] the first clue about how to purify [[Shadow Pokémon]] and directs them to [[Agate Village]] and also later points them in the direction of [[The Under]]. She may also be approached many times throughout the game in order to gibe them clues as to what o do next, though interpreting what she sees in the crystal ball.

{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Gold''' and '''Pokémon Silver''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|金|きん}}・{{tt|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Gold and Silver'') were the fifth [[Pokémon games]] to be released in Japan, on November 21, 1999. The English versions were later released in North America on October 15, 2000. Gold and Silver were followed a year later by a sister game with minor gameplay changes, titled [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]. They take place in the region of [[Johto]] (and later in the game, [[Kanto]]) and the player's starting area is [[New Bark Town]].

==Plot==
[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the Johto region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon, as well as trying to contact their missing leader using radio broadcasts.

The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He gives the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon. {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}. The player, known by default as {{ga|Gold}}, meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during an errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that Gold has started his own Pokémon journey, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back Gold is attacked by a spiteful and mysterious Pokémon trainer. Upon his return to New Bark Town, Gold is informed that someone has broke into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the trainer from earlier battled with; even more so, the trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This character's default name is {{ga|Silver}}. He will battle the player at certain points in the game to test the player's Pokémon; being defeated is an indication for the player to level up his or her team. He will always steal for his starter a Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's chosen one. For example, if the player chooses Cyndaquil, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, he will choose Totodile, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, giving it an advantage over the Fire-type Cyndaquil.

==Blurb==
"Enter a whole new world, with new Pokémon to capture, train and battle! Meet Professor Elm and get the all-new [[PokéGear|Poké Gear]], including [[PokéGear#Map|map]], [[PokéGear#Radio|radio]], [[PokéGear#Phone|cell phone]] and [[PokéGear#Time|clock]]. Set the clock then watch as day turns to night and events take place in real time–and be sure to keep an eye out for Pokémon that come out only at night!"

==Connectivity==
Pokémon Gold and Silver continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable|Link Cable]], but also revamped it as well. Gold and Silver (as well as Crystal) introduced backwards-connectivity to the trading processes, allowing players to trade with other Generation II games, as well as Red, Blue and Yellow (and Green, in Japan). This has to be done in order to complete the Pokédex without cheating or using [[glitch]]es, since each of games has version exclusive Pokémon which cannot be obtained in another version.

==Features==
===Gyms===
There are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}).

===Elite Four===
Gold and Silver introduce a new Elite Four syndicate, though it is found at the same location as it previously was in the Red and Blue versions, the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}) and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Lance]], who uses {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon.

===Pokémon===
Each game features 100 new Pokémon species, and pre-recorded data each of them, plus the 151 Pokémon of Generation I. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired through the use of attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, or cheating.

===PokéGear===
The PokéGear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The PokéGear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the [[Pokémon Music]] station, or listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Balls]] were introduced in this game. A [[Lure Ball]] is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], and a [[Friend Ball]] will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its trainer much more quickly. To obtain these balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different balls based on their color. However, Kurt can only make one ball at a time, and players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the ball. Although these specialized Poké Balls and Apricorns were not in future generations, there were other specialized balls.

===Kanto===
After becoming the [[Pokémon League]] Champion, players can travel to [[Kanto]], the region introduced in Generation I, and see how things have changed over the past three years:

* Due to a power outage, a key is no longer required to open the door to [[Lt. Surge]], and the garbage cans in his Gym are all empty (save for trash).
* A volcano has destroyed everything but the [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], leaving a rain-filled crater behind.
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are no longer found in Kanto, logically because they can already be caught in Generation I. The [[Cerulean Cave]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} are also gone, though a man near the cave ruins does mention the dungeon, and a hidden item called the [[Berserk Gene]] can be found in the water near its former entrance.
* [[Bill]]'s house is still present at the Cerulean Cape, but Bill is currently visiting his family in Johto's [[Goldenrod City]]. The house is being watched over by his grandfather.
* [[Blaine]] has moved his Gym to one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] due to [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]]'s volcanic eruption. As a result, no wild Pokémon can be found in the Seafoam Islands.
* {{ga|Blue}} (Green in the Japanese versions), the rival of Generation I, is now the leader of the [[Viridian City]] Gym. [[Giovanni]] is nowhere to be seen, and Team Rocket aims to find him.
* {{ga|Red}}, the Generation I protagonist, appears in Johto's [[Mt. Silver]], serving as the game's true final challenge. His highest level Pokémon is a level 81 Pikachu. Red also has a {{p|Snorlax}} at level 75, a {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, each at level 77, and a level 73 {{p|Espeon}}. The six Pokémon are specially obtainable in Pokémon Yellow. Contrary to popular belief, the Pikachu is not a reference to [[Ash Ketchum]] from the [[Pokémon anime]], nor is the team a reference to {{Special|Red}}'s from [[Pokémon Special]].
* The [[Copycat]] still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her [[Poké Doll|lost doll]]. According to her mother, this is the same doll that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].
* Kanto Gym Leaders use Generation II Pokémon in addition to Generation I Pokémon.
* Remixes of most of the overworld and battle music from the Generation I games are used. Some notable exceptions include Cinnabar Island's music and the various Team Rocket hideouts, whose music does not play at all in the second generation.
* Most [[route]]s were shortened, but cities and towns generally remained the same size except [[Celadon City]], which shrank slightly.
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Generation II Pokémon can be found. Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] can be caught in nearby wild areas, such as {{p|Rhyhorn}} in {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}} in [[Rock Tunnel]].
* The entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|headquarters]] in the basement of the Celadon City [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]] has been removed, although a man in Celadon's Pokémon Center alludes to it.
* The formerly-abandoned [[Power Plant]] is now used to power the new Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of the Pokémon that once infested the plant in Generation I, such as Zapdos).
* The [[Cerulean City#Bike Shop|bike shop]] in [[Cerulean City]] is closed, and the owners have moved to Goldenrod City in Johto.
* The "coffee man" in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, and asks if the player believes him, but does not attempt to teach this time around.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]]'s master is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a [[Focus Band]] item left behind, which can be held by a Pokémon. The [[Kiyo|master]] is training in [[Mt. Mortar]] in Johto. When found and defeated, he will give away a {{p|Tyrogue}}
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science|museum]] in [[Pewter City]] is closed for renovations.
* The other caverns and [[Viridian Forest]] all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of [[Mt. Moon]] and the Seafoam Islands), but reduced in size.
* [[Koga]], the former Gym Leader of [[Fuchsia City]] and now a member of the [[Elite Four]], has been replaced by his daughter [[Janine]].
* The [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] has been replaced by a [[Kanto Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], similar to the one in [[Goldenrod City]]. In turn, the Pokémon grave sites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Access to the upper floors of this Radio Tower is restricted, a safety precaution taken as a result of Team Rocket's takeover of [[Johto Radio Tower|Johto's Radio Tower]].
* The Safari Zone is closed while the [[Warden Slowpoke|warden]] is "on a vacation." Instead, the Johto Bug-Catching Contest at the National Park takes its place. Through external game manipulation, an unused portal to the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City can be found. Players can use a [[GameShark]] or similar device to enter the unfinished Safari Zone.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://glitchcity.info/docs/gscsafarizone |title=US Pokemon GSC Safari Zone |publisher=Glitch City Laboratories |accessdate=2007-10}}</ref>
* The [[Underground Path (Routes 7-8)|Underground Path]] from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to "vandalism." A sign cites local complaints about battles there.
* Victory Road's length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, trainers, and pressure sensors, explaining why the trainers appear outside (which explains why Moltres is no longer there).
* Viridian Forest has been reduced to shrubs, and wild Pokémon can only be caught in the grass of what used to be [[Route 2]].

==New features==
Gold and Silver introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed. Gold and Silver introduced the concept of storing items such as healing items, [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[key item]]s in the [[bag]]. The new battle screen which showed both how much [[experience]] points a Pokémon has until its next level and whether or not an encountered wild Pokémon's species has already been captured. Also, held items raised the bar for strategy, allowing players to outspeed opponents, heal ailments, restore [[HP]] in [[battle]], boost element-specific attacks, or increase the Pokémon's [[happiness]], among other uses.

A [[Time|time system]] was also introduced. Throughout the game, Pokémon appearances are influenced by time of day: morning, day, and night. {{p|Hoothoot}}, for example, only appears at night (since it's an owl-like Pokémon). Certain events are also determined by the day of the week, like the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which is held in Johto's [[National Park]] on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Depending on the day of the week, either "[[Pokémon March]]" or "[[Pokémon Lullaby]]" can be heard on the Pokégear radio. Pokémon March raises the chance of a Pokémon appearing when the player walks into the grass, while Pokémon Lullaby decreases that chance. Gold and Silver also introduced the concept of [[evolution]] by [[Methods of evolution|methods]] other than [[level]]ing, using an [[evolutionary stone]], or [[Trade|trading]].

===Breeding===
With the introduction of {{pkmn|breeding}}, all Pokémon belong to one or two breeding groups. It is important to note that [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred; they are genderless, and will not breed, even with a {{p|Ditto}} (which can breed with any Pokémon capable of breeding).

A baby Pokémon will be born when a male Pokémon and a female Pokémon that share at least one breeding group are left at the [[Pokémon Daycare]]. In the case of Pokémon that are always male ({{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Tauros}}, etc.), or Gender Unknown group Pokémon ({{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}), the only way to produce a baby from these species is by breeding them with a Ditto.

A baby Pokémon will inherit the species of its mother (or non-Ditto parent in the case of a Ditto breeding) and inheritable moves from its father (when it's not a Ditto). Fathers always pass down [[TM]] moves that the baby's species could learn, which are valuable (since some are only obtainable one time). If both parents know a move that the baby could learn by increasing its level, the baby is born knowing that move as well. Fathers may also pass down special moves called "Egg Moves" to the baby that it would not normally be able to learn by leveling up or evolving.

===Pokérus===
[[Pokérus]] (a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "virus") was introduced. Encountering a Pokémon with the virus is even rarer than encountering a shiny Pokémon, with the odds estimated to be somewhere around a 1 in 21,845 chance. Pokérus doubles the special experience (a concept adapted to later installments as [[effort values]]) that the player's Pokémon gain each time the infected Pokémon participates in battle (provided the battle is won and the infected Pokémon does not faint).

===Shiny Pokémon===
The game introduces {{shiny2}} Pokémon, Pokémon which have a different coloring than their species has normally, and which appear very rarely (estimated to be a 1 in 8,192 chance). In this [[Generation II|second generation]] of games (though not the [[Generation III|third generation]]), these Pokémon often have better stats than regular Pokémon, but can never achieve maximum stats for that species. There is one exception to the shiny Pokémon system: A [[Red Gyarados]] can be found at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Since it is part of the storyline, it is impossible not to encounter this Pokémon.

===Type and Stat changes===
Two new [[elemental types|types]] were introduced, {{type2|Steel}} and {{type2|Dark}} . These two types serve to balance the {{type2|Psychic}}, which previously was only weak to {{type2|Bug}} moves; however, Bug-types lacked any powerful offensive moves in past games. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{type2|Fighting}}, which was only "super effective" against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type2|Rock}}s (all of which are rarely used in competitive battling); Steel and Dark are both weak against Fighting. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their very high defense; they are highly resistant to many types and their moves are strong against Ice and Rock type Pokémon. Dark-types are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, like "{{m|Bite}}"(previously of the {{t|Normal}} type)- and "{{m|Thief}}", which are super-effective against Psychic-type. Dark-types are also strong against {{t|Ghost}}-types, thus being the only type that has an attack advantage over Ghost-type Pokémon besides Ghost-type moves themselves. The Dark-type Pokémon are also weak against Bug-type attacks.

Some type match-ups were changed as well. In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-types; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the Pokémon television series. {{type2|Poison}} originally were effective against Bug-types and Bug-types ineffective against Poison; this was changed to Poison doing normal damage to Bug and Bug becoming not very effective against Poison, seriously limiting the effectiveness and usage of both Bug-types and Poison-types. Ice-type moves were also made not very effective against {{type2|Fire}} (previously they did normal damage). In this version several moves had their type changed. For example, the move {{m|Gust}} was a Normal-type in the first generation games but is now a {{type2|Flying}} move; the move Bite was a Normal-type move in the first generation, but now is Dark-type. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} are now {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}} (in Generation I, they were pure {{t|Electric}}).

Another major change from the original series was the splitting of the [[Stats#Special|Special]] stat into [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]] and [[Stats#Special Defense|Special Defense]]. Again, this increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for defense and special defense. For example, {{p|Cloyster}} has a decent Special stat in Generation I, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense.

==Trivia==
* Copies of Pokémon Gold and Silver typically lose the ability to save after a period of about seven years, due to the internal battery running dry. However, the battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind, although replacing it will reset the game's data. This problem appears less often with the [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal version]].
* Hopes ride high on the assumption that Gold and Silver will get [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remakes]] sometime during [[Generation IV]], much like {{2v2|Red|Green}} were [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remade]] during Generation III. This is compounded by {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}'s many [[List of cross-generational references|references]] to the events and locations of Gold and Silver, as well as in-game data that indicates the possibility of trading with a Johto-based game as well as many in game hinst and references.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|paired versions]] where both the version mascot of the game played and the counterpart game's version mascot are both catchable without trades.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|paired versions]] where Pokémon sprite designs differ between the two games.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver started the trend of having [[Legendary Pokémon]] as [[Version mascot|mascots]], and the trend of using types of jewelry or precious metals as names.
* The Johto region's starters are the only set of main series [[starter Pokémon]] to remain solely their primary types of {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} throughout their evolution.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only Pokémon games which contain ''two'' regions with different names.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are also one of two games in the [[main series]] which implement an [[Magnet Train|extra way]] to travel between places (the other being a cable car in [[Ruby and Sapphire]]).

Time Capsule

2008-11-04T19:21:59Z

Wikid:

[[Image:Gold4.png|thumb|right|[[Gold (game)|Gold]] approaches the Time Capsule]]
The '''Time Capsule''' is a part of [[Generation II]] [[Pokémon Center]]s where players can [[trade]] with their [[Generation I]] games.

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], the Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each Pokémon Center. However, in the early part of the game, it is under repair, and thus unavailable until the player has met [[Bill]] in [[Ecruteak City]].

After this point, it is possible to trade with the Generation I games, however, there are still some requirements:
* The player cannot have any [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon numbered #152 - #251]] in their [[party]]
* None of the Pokémon to be traded can have [[move]]s introduced after [[Generation I]]

When linked up to a Generation I game, the trade will happen as it did in Generation I, and it will be as if the Generation II game itself '''''is''''' a Generation I game. In addition, moves that were formerly [[Normal-type]] (like {{m|Bite}}) will stay Normal in Generation I. Also, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} will be only of the [[Electric-type]].

Due to the restriction on later-generation moves when trading back to Generation I, the [[Move Deleter]] was also introduced in [[Generation II]] so that [[:Category:Generation I Pokémon|Generation I Pokémon]] that had learned newer moves could be traded back. This carried on into both [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], even though trades with previous generations were not supported.

The Generation IV counterpart to the Time Capsule, which allows Pokémon from Generation III to be transferred ahead, is [[Pal Park]]; however, these are not trades, but instead permanent transfers from Generation III to IV.

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Time Capsule|90}} appears on a card in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set.

Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)

2008-11-01T17:07:14Z

Wikid: Cinnabar Island is NOT in Sinnoh, and the mansion is not on Iron Island

{{Infobox location

}}

{{Search|mansion on [[Cinnabar Island]]|the mansion in [[Sinnoh]]|Trophy Garden}}

The '''Pokémon Mansion''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンやしき''' ''Pokémon Mansion'') is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It got its name because a famous Pokémon Researcher once lived there.

To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], the main character has to enter the mansion and find the [[List of key items in Generation I#Secret Key|Secret Key]] to unlock the door of the Gym.

The Pokémon Mansion has four different floors. Doors can be unlocked in the Mansion by pressing switches hidden in {{p|Mewtwo}} statues.

Items found in the Generation I version of the mansion include an Escape Rope, a Carbos, a Calcium, an Iron, a Max Potion, a Rare Candy, {{TM|22|SolarBeam}}, a Full Restore, {{TM|14|Blizzard}}, and of course the Secret Key that unlocks [[Blaine]]'s Gym.

Amongst the rubble and wreckage is information that the scientists who once worked there obtained a {{p|Mew}} and impregnated it with the genetically altered {{p|Mewtwo}}, who destroyed the Mansion in its escape.

==Journal Quotes==
There are several journals scattered around the mansion that detail the research of the scientists who worked there. When found they may be read by the player. The below entries are in chronological order:

===July 5===
Guyana, South America.
A new Pokémon was discovered deep in the jungle.

===July 10===
We christened the newly discovered Pokémon {{p|Mew}}.

===February 6===
Mew gave birth. We named the newborn {{p|Mewtwo}}.

===September 1===
Mewtwo is far too powerful. We have failed to curb its vicious tendencies...

'''Clefable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピクシー''' ''Pixy'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Clefable is a bit larger than its pre-evolutions. Its wings are also larger (and come in a deeper shade of pink), though they still seem incapable of flight. Clefable's three fingers lack the nails that it had as a Clefairy and gains an extra clawed toe on each foot.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Clefable are most known for using {{m|Metronome}} in order to execute a random attack. Just like its pre-evolved forms, Clefable is very versatile whether it knows Metronome or not. The flavour text for Clefable states that its sense of hearing is so strong that it can hear a pin drop from half a mile away.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, Clefable are depicted as having the ability to fly using their wings, although they have never been seen doing so anywhere else.

===Behavior===
Clefable are extremely shy, even moreso than Clefairy or Cleffa. As such, they are quite reclusive.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Clefable is just as rare in the wild as its pre-evolutions. They can be found at [[Mt. Moon]], or in other mountains that offer clear views of the moon at night.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mt. Moon! With Py, Pippi and Pixy!.jpg|thumb|right|Clefable with its pre-evolutions]]
Clefable first appeared in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After the large group of {{p|Clefairy}} blasted [[Team Rocket]] away with {{m|Metronome}}, particles of the giant Moon Stone landed on some of the Clefairy, causing them to evolve.

Clefable was also in a stage show about talking Pokémon for ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''.

Clefable made an appearance for another Mt. Moon Festival in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Blue}} had a {{p|Clefairy}} that later evolved into Clefable.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], {{Ash}} befriends a {{p|Clefairy}} that evolves into a Clefable so it can explore the world.

==Trivia==
*"Ariala" was the proto-type name of Clefable.
*Clefable's cry sounds similar to its Japanese name.
*Its {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Green}} frontal sprites show its tail growing in front of or under its other wing. This was fixed for {{game|Yellow}}.
*Every sprite, except the {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} sprite, show Clefable smiling.
===Origin===
It seems to be based on fairies and pixes, being a magical, humanoid, playful, winged creature.
====Name origin====
Clefable's name is a combination of ''[[wp:clef|clef]]'', French for (musical) key, and "fable" — a story about legendary persons and deeds. Its Japanese name refers to [[wp:pixie|pixies]], creatures similar to fairies. Its French name appears to be a corruption of ''melody'' and possibly ''[[wp:elf|elf]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pixi
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Melodelfe - ''Mélodie'' means melody and ''elfe'' means elf.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 픽시 ''Piksi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 皮可西 (Pi Ke Xi): Transliteration of its Japanese name, Pixi.

Aya (anime)

2008-09-13T14:26:43Z

Wikid: /* Trivia */

[[Image:Aya1.jpg|thumb|Aya from the [[anime]]]]
'''Aya''' (Japanese: '''アヤ''' ''Aya'') is a ninja and [[Pokémon trainer]] who specializes in {{type2|Poison}} [[Pokémon]]. She is the younger sister of [[Koga]], the [[Fuchsia City]] [[Gym Leader]], and she is a student of the [[Gym]]. She also trains in Pokémon jujitsu, and seems to have an interest in poetry.

She is voiced by 篠原恵美 ''Emi Shinohara'' in Japanese and [[Lisa Ortiz]] in English.

==In the anime==
Aya appeared in two episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]].

Her first appearance was in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]''. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across the Fuchsia City Gym. They encountered a {{p|Venonat}} who led them through a wild chase through the booby-trap filled Gym. A flurry of shurikens pinned Ash to a wall, thrown by the Venonat's trainer - a female ninja in a pink ninja outfit. Ash and Misty were angry at her for throwing such dangerous things around, but Brock was infatuated as usual.

She introduced herself, and Aya said that her Venonat had told her some foolish people had been setting off the mansion's traps. Aya challenged Ash to a battle against her Venonat and Ash agreed - sending out {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. The {{type2|Grass}} blew away Venonat's {{m|Stun Spore}} and used {{m|Leech Seed}} to trap and paralyze its opponent.

Koga then swooped in and challenged Ash himself. Their match was interrupted by [[Team Rocket]]'s attempted theft of the Gym's {{p|Voltorb}} pack. Misty's {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} soon sent Team Rocket packing and the match resumed with Ash winning the [[Badge#Soul Badge|Soul Badge]].

Ash and his friends met up with her again in [[Johto]]. In ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos!]]'' they once again met Aya on their way to [[Ecruteak City]]. She was training at a nearby dojo, learning Pokémon Jujitsu. One of her exercises was to defeat her sensei's {{p|Ariados}}, but her Venonat kept losing.

Ash's Bulbasaur and Aya's Venonat had a rematch, but Venonat lost again.

Team Rocket tried to pilfer the Pokémon in the dojo. Aya's sensei and his Ariados couldn't keep up. But Aya had trained herself and Venonat in speed and agility and were able to catch up to Team Rocket. Alone, [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} nearly overpowered her and Venonat. However, Aya had her Venonat used {{m|Rest}}. Thinking that it was helpless, Arbok used {{m|Wrap}} to squeeze the {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon. Venonat then used an unavoidable Stun Spore - knocking Arbok out. {{AP|Pikachu}} blasted away Team Rocket, and Aya returned to the dojo, having finally won a battle.

===Pokémon===

|-
| align=center | [[Image:048.png]] {{p|Venonat}}
|}

==Trivia==
*Aya makes a very brief cameo appearance in a chapter of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.
*Aya would be [[Janine]]'s aunt if they existed in the same series. However, Janine doesn't appear in the anime, and Aya doesn't appear in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga or [[games]].
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], the Ninja Boy on [[Route 217]] mentions different kinds of ninja in the world. He says, "There are several kinds of ninjas. Are you an Iga or a Kouga ninja?" This is a reference to the two main schools of ninjutsu, Iga-ryu and Kōga-ryu, the latter of which Koga the gym leader is named after. Due to this Aya may also be named after the "Iga-ryu" school considering the similarity between the words.

'''Celebi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Celebi come with the [[ability]] {{a|Natural Cure}} which cures any [[status ailment]] upon switching out.

Celebi is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|Johto Dex]].

[[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] was a major character in the movie ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature. Celebi has round, toe-less feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on its back. Celebi has a round head that comes to a point and sticks upward in the back, large baby-blue eyes with black rings around them and a pair of green antennae that are tipped blue.

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

====Special abilities====
Celebi has the power to travel through time. Celebi can restore plants to perfect health (an ability that is also accredited to {{p|Meganium}}). Celebi mainly attacks with surprisingly powerful {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Psychic}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Celebi, like {{p|Mew}}, is a very playful species in general. Celebi are extremely powerful despite their small size, another trait they have in common with Mew. Celebi also can be very timid, despite their awesome power. Although multiple Celebi have been seen at one time, it is unknown if they are different individuals or the same Celebi from different time periods.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Because Celebi travels through time, it may inhabit many places. However, Celebi is generally associated with forests. Because of this, it is known as the spirit and guardian of the forest.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Celebi anime.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in the anime]]
{{an|Celebi}} first appeared in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. A Pokémon hunter was after it and Celebi traveled 40 years into future to escape from him, taking the young [[Sammy Oak]] along with accidentally. [[Vicious]] eventually captured the time traveling Pokémon in a [[Dark Ball]] and used it to destroy the forest. {{Ash}} and Sammy managed to snap Celebi out of the Iron Masked Marauder's control.

Celebi also made an appearance in [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. In ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]'', Celebi took [[Ritchie]] back in time to help stop the destruction of a [[Pokémon Center]].

In ''[[AG155|Green Guardian]]'', the Pokémon Ranger, [[Solana]] accompanied {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in helping the time traveling Pokémon.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Pryce]] aimed to capture Celebi and use its time-traveling powers to save his two {{p|Lapras}}, which he had lost years ago prior to the start of the GSC saga.

Near the end of the RS Saga, {{Special|Ruby}} is revealed to have a Celebi. He explains that due to the lack of information he had on it, he rarely uses Celebi at all. Celebi was used to retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs from [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], to prevent them from ever controlling {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} again. Then, it revived [[Norman]], [[Steven]] and [[Magma Admin Courtney]] by sending them through an altered future.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Celebi Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Celebi in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When a [[Poké Ball]] is thrown, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Celebi appearing after all these requirements have been fulfilled:
*Unlock all 25 characters
*Unlock all 29 stages
*Beat all 51 events
*Unlock the score display (by reaching 5000 KOs.)
It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the [[Poké Ball]] will earn a bonus and trophy of Celebi.

Celebi returns as a rare Pokémon in Brawl as well; the chance of it appearing is increased to 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just {{m|Fly|flying}} away. In Celebi's case, the items are Trophies.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: A {{shiny2}} Celebi is a character in the main story. When the player and partner are sent to the future by {{p|Dusknoir}}, the pair and Grovyle work together to get back to the past. Celebi was the one who sent Grovyle to the past before, and the trio uses her help to go back again.

==Trivia==
* Celebi is the mascot of [[Serebii.net]].
* Celebi was the only Pokémon of the 100 [[Generation II]] Pokémon that wasn't used in the [[Johto]] [[Pokérap GS|Pokérap]].
* Celebi is notable as the hardest to obtain Pokémon, as there are very few ways to legitimately obtain one outside Japanese games, and even there, they are only obtainable in two games.
* Celebi has the most weaknesses of all Pokémon, with seven. It shares this with {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}.
* While Celebi has the power of time travel, it cannot control time, a power belonging to {{p|Dialga}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Celebi needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. It is also interesting to note that all of these Pokémon have 100 for all of their base stats.
* During the main story of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], the Shiny Celebi is referred to as a female.
* A 2008 [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] done with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] by the webmaster of [[PokéBeach]] revealed that the [[GS Ball]] was initially meant to contain a Celebi that would be used in a story arc throughout the Johto series. This idea, however, was shelved, and [[Celebi (Pokémon 4Ever)|Celebi]] became a co-star of [[Pokémon 4Ever]] with {{p|Suicune}}.
*Its [[Generation IV]] sprite is very similar to the art by Ken Sugimori.

===Origin===
It may be based on a {{wp|fairy}} or {{wp|dryad}}. It may also be based on an Aztec spirit. As for the wings, they might be reminiscent of a flying rainforest-dwelling insect.

====Name origin====
Celebi's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|celestial}}'' and ''being''. Celebi's Japanese name may be taken to be a combination of the English ''serenity'' and the Japanese ''bii'', which translates to ''beautiful''. It may also come from ''{{wp|celery}}'', due to the fact that Celebi is a Grass-type. It is interesting to note the similarity between "Celebi" and "telebi", the Japanese word for "television". Its name may have even originated from disco artist Celi Bee, and quite possibly, the Spanish word for onion, ''cebolla'', since Celebi's head is shaped and looks slightly like an onion.

In [[Pokémon 4Ever]], it seems to say its name "''Reebee''", which sounds like "Re-be". As shown later in the movie, time paradox duplicates appear, meaning that Celebi will "Re-be" forever; this could be another origin. However this may just be a translation error as Celebi's Romanized english name translation can also be spelled "Serebii", the last two syllables of which sound like "Reebee".

'''Route 114''' is the northwesternmost [[route]] in all of [[Hoenn]], and the most scenic, passing some of the oldest rock formations in Hoenn.

==Route description==
Route 114 begins in [[Fallarbor Town]], passing the [[Fossil Maniac]]'s house and a small pond. A [[Fisherman]] stands on the pond's edge, ready to challenge trainers. Past him, near the large rock formation, is a man and his {{p|Poochyena}}, who, if the player speaks to him, will give out {{TM|05|Roar}}. The rock formation behind him has several things, as well, up the {{m|waterfall}}, including one of the many possible entrances to [[Terra Cave]] in {{v2|Emerald}}.

Continuing, the route turns south, where a bridge will take trainers across a large lake created by the waterfall, in which is an island with one of the many opportunities to make a [[secret base]]. It is here where the scenery changes, once more becoming lush and green, just before the rocky landscape of [[Meteor Falls]]' exterior is reached. On the southeastern shore of the lake is where [[Lanette]] lives, as well. Here is where many trainers reside, all of different classes. There are [[Pokémaniac]]s, [[Kindler]]s, and of course, as always in the mountains, [[Hiker]]s. Following the path up to the entrance of Meteor Falls will as well take trainers past many opportunities to make a secret base.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the {{g|universe}} and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time). As of 2008, Arceus is currently the only Pokémon known to fans that has not yet been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Arceus, through use of {{a2|Multitype|its ability}}, can assume any [[type]], though naturally, without any [[plate]] attached, it is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or {{wp|qilin}}. It might have some traces of a Centaur. Its body is white, has a gray underside and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes based on Arceus's current type.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]] its type can change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special [[plate]] it holds.

Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|thumb|left|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Alternate coloration|Alternate-color]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
* In its basic form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total at 720, while previous Pokémon have had a maximum of 680. However, it does have lower stats in some areas than some other Pokémon, i.e. having lower {{stat|Speed}} than a {{p|Crobat}}, and there are several Pokémon that grow at slower rates, such as {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Though Arceus has not been officially revealed, it is possible to use its signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, through {{m|Metronome}}.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, {{m|Judgment}} is always displayed as {{type2|Normal}}.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any attacks that use arms or punches. It is also unable to learn every TM and HM, unlike Mew.
* Arceus' backstory seems to be a retcon of Mew's - while Mew was earlier purported to be the originator of all Pokémon due to containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon, as well as being able to learn every TM and HM, Arceus' story reveals that Mew was not the first Pokémon, as once thought.
**On the other hand, Mew's D/P Pokédex entry still stated that it's believed to be the originator of all Pokémon, due to possibly containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon and learning every TM/HM, which may also lead credence that Mew's status isn't retconned at all.
*When Arceus was first discovered within Diamond and Pearl, it sparked fears among some fans that those games would signal the end of Pokémon. These fears were due to legendaries becoming more and more powerful within recent games; for example, {{p|Mewtwo}} compared to Pokémon symbolizing elements of nature such as {{p|Dialga}}. Since the literal "god" of Pokémon was created, many wondered how another legendary could exist. These fears have been mostly alleviated by the continuation of Nintendo to heavily market the Pokémon series. Also, Arceus being the last may not be true- Mew, once thought to be the origin of all Pokemon, was followed by more.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus also seems to be an exact mirror of the infamous [[PokéGods]] since the only way to obtain either of them is through the use of cheating devices/secret cheat codes (at present). Both the PokéGods and Arceus are also extremely powerful and both are said to be [[legendary Pokémon]]. The only difference between the PokéGods and Arceus is that the latter is confirmed to be a real Pokémon. Therefore Arceus may be a reference towards them.

Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavour text) or in a white four-armed manifestaion (which could look similar to Arceus's normal forme)

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the {{g|universe}} and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time). As of 2008, Arceus is currently the only Pokémon known to fans that has not yet been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Arceus, through use of {{a2|Multitype|its ability}}, can assume any [[type]], though naturally, without any [[plate]] attached, it is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or {{wp|qilin}}. It might have some traces of a Centaur. Its body is white, has a gray underside and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes based on Arceus's current type.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]] its type can change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special [[plate]] it holds.

Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|thumb|left|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Alternate coloration|Alternate-color]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
* In its basic form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total at 720, while previous Pokémon have had a maximum of 680. However, it does have lower stats in some areas than some other Pokémon, i.e. having lower {{stat|Speed}} than a {{p|Crobat}}, and there are several Pokémon that grow at slower rates, such as {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Though Arceus has not been officially revealed, it is possible to use its signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, through {{m|Metronome}}.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, {{m|Judgment}} is always displayed as {{type2|Normal}}.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any attacks that use arms or punches. It is also unable to learn every TM and HM, unlike Mew.
* Arceus' backstory seems to be a retcon of Mew's - while Mew was earlier purported to be the originator of all Pokémon due to containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon, as well as being able to learn every TM and HM, Arceus' story reveals that Mew was not the first Pokémon, as once thought.
**On the other hand, Mew's D/P Pokédex entry still stated that it's believed to be the originator of all Pokémon, due to possibly containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon and learning every TM/HM, which may also lead credence that Mew's status isn't retconned at all.
*When Arceus was first discovered within Diamond and Pearl, it sparked fears among some fans that those games would signal the end of Pokémon. These fears were due to legendaries becoming more and more powerful within recent games; for example, {{p|Mewtwo}} compared to Pokémon symbolizing elements of nature such as {{p|Dialga}}. Since the literal "god" of Pokémon was created, many wondered how another legendary could exist. These fears have been mostly alleviated by the continuation of Nintendo to heavily market the Pokémon series. Also, Arceus being the last may not be true- Mew, once thought to be the origin of all Pokemon, was followed by more.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus also seems to be an exact mirror of the infamous [[PokéGods]] since the only way to obtain either of them is through the use of cheating devices/secret cheat codes (at present). Both the PokéGods and Arceus are also extremely powerful and both are said to be [[legendary Pokémon]]. The only difference between the PokéGods and Arceus is that the latter is confirmed to be a real Pokémon. Therefore Arceus may be a reference towards them.

Arceus may also be a representation of {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}} who, in Buddhism, is either pictured with eleven head and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavour text) or in a white four-armed manifestaion (which could look similar to Arceus's normal forme)

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the {{g|universe}} and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time). As of 2008, Arceus is currently the only Pokémon known to fans that has not yet been officially revealed by Nintendo.

Arceus, through use of {{a2|Multitype|its ability}}, can assume any [[type]], though naturally, without any [[plate]] attached, it is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or {{wp|qilin}}. It might have some traces of a Centaur. Its body is white, has a gray underside and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes based on Arceus's current type.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.

====Special abilities====
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's {{a|Multitype}} [[ability]] its type can change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special [[plate]] it holds.

Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
[[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|thumb|left|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Alternate coloration|Alternate-color]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
* In its basic form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total at 720, while previous Pokémon have had a maximum of 680. However, it does have lower stats in some areas than some other Pokémon, i.e. having lower {{stat|Speed}} than a {{p|Crobat}}, and there are several Pokémon that grow at slower rates, such as {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Though Arceus has not been officially revealed, it is possible to use its signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, through {{m|Metronome}}.
* Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, {{m|Judgment}} is always displayed as {{type2|Normal}}.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any attacks that use arms or punches. It is also unable to learn every TM and HM, unlike Mew.
* Arceus' backstory seems to be a retcon of Mew's - while Mew was earlier purported to be the originator of all Pokémon due to containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon, as well as being able to learn every TM and HM, Arceus' story reveals that Mew was not the first Pokémon, as once thought.
**On the other hand, Mew's D/P Pokédex entry still stated that it's believed to be the originator of all Pokémon, due to possibly containing the genetic code of every other Pokémon and learning every TM/HM, which may also lead credence that Mew's status isn't retconned at all.
*When Arceus was first discovered within Diamond and Pearl, it sparked fears among some fans that those games would signal the end of Pokémon. These fears were due to legendaries becoming more and more powerful within recent games; for example, {{p|Mewtwo}} compared to Pokémon symbolizing elements of nature such as {{p|Dialga}}. Since the literal "god" of Pokémon was created, many wondered how another legendary could exist. These fears have been mostly alleviated by the continuation of Nintendo to heavily market the Pokémon series. Also, Arceus being the last may not be true- Mew, once thought to be the origin of all Pokemon, was followed by more.

===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.

Arceus also seems to be an exact mirror of the infamous [[PokéGods]] since the only way to obtain either of them is through the use of cheating devices/secret cheat codes (at present). Both the PokéGods and Arceus are also extremely powerful and both are said to be [[legendary Pokémon]]. The only difference between the PokéGods and Arceus is that the latter is confirmed to be a real Pokémon. Therefore Arceus may be a reference towards them.

Arceus may also be a representation of [[wp|Avalokiteśvara]] who, in Buddhism, is either pictured with eleven head and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's flavour text) or in a white four-armed manifestaion (which would look similar to Arceus's normal forme)

====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).

Dimensional Scream

2008-08-28T23:49:20Z

Wikid:

'''Dimensional Scream''' is a special [[ability]] and also a key plot device in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].

It is first discovered by the player when he picks up an apple that {{p|Azurill}} dropped. Suddenly, the player gets dizzy and sees a vision of the future, where Azurill is held by {{p|Drowzee}} against his will. When the player's team goes to rescue him, it turns out the vision was right. The Scream happens again just before entering [[Waterfall Cave]], however, the player sees a vision of the past, where {{p|Wigglytuff}} is shown entering the cave through the waterfall. It is revealed by {{p|Dusknoir}} that the Dimensional Scream ability shows the user visions of the past or future when someone or something is touched.

When stuck in the future, the player tries to use the Dimensional Scream to get a clue as to what to do next, but nothing happens. {{p|Grovyle}} later explains that this ability only works in regards to the [[Time Gears]], and that it must function differently in the past, as earlier visions had nothing to do with the Time Gears at all. Additionally, the user of this ability must be with a trusted partner for it to work. The player's partner and Grovyle both fit this role during the player's respective points in time. It is unknown how one obtains this ability however it appears that it functions for both Pokémon and Humans since the main character could use the Dimensional Scream during his/her time as both a Pokémon and also as a Human.

'''Dragonair''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハクリュー''' ''Hakuryu'') is a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dragonair are long, serpent-like Pokémon that can be up to 13′01″ (4.0m) long. They have dark, glossy eyes and a small, unicorn-like horn on their foreheads. On either side of their heads are small feathery wings which may assist Dragonair in flight. Dragonair are covered in sapphire-blue scales, except for their bellies, which are a bright white. A feature unique to Dragonair are the small blue orbs that appear under their necks and on the ends of their tails.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Dragonair are said to have the ability to control the weather and surrounding climate; they also give out a distinct, gentle aura that can be felt by humans. Many people have also seen these Pokémon flying, even though they have no wings (except for the small wings on their heads, which are too small to assist them in flight). Dragonair also host a large amount of energy within their bodies which they discharge from their crystals, this allows them to change the weather.

===Behavior===
Dragonair are docile Pokémon that give out a gentle aura that can be felt by people nearby. Although shy and protective of their habitat, they are also very powerful dragon Pokémon.
Dragonair have the ability Shed Skin, which gives it a 1/3 chance of refreshing its status if it is inflicted with a status ailment.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Dragonair are rare Pokémon that often inhabit lakes and seas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
 Not much is known about this Pokémon's diet, as they are so reclusive, but it is assumed they eat berries like most Pokémon do.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dragonair anime.jpg|left|thumb|Dragonair from ''[[AG152|On Olden Pond]]'']]
[[Image:DragonairAnime.jpg|right|thumb|Dragonair in the anime]]
Dragonair first appeared in the [[banned episode]], ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. The warden of the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] was protecting it.

[[Clair]]'s Dratini evolved into a Dragonair in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''.

In ''[[AG152|On Olden Pond]]'', a Dragonair was living in a lake that a businessman once planned to build a luxury resort on.

==In the manga==
Lance owns two, one caught previously, the other stolen and brainwashed; the one which was offered as a prize in the Surf contest.

==Trivia==
*The prototype name for Dragonair was "Dragyn," a play on the word "dragon."
*Dragonair is one of the only Pokémon who shrinks when it [[evolution|evolves]], alongside {{p|Gloom}} into {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Porygon}} into {{p|Porygon2}}, and {{p|Haunter}} into {{p|Gengar}}.
*Despite being said to be able to change the weather as one of its natural abilities, Dragonair needs to use TMs to learn {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}}.
*Though mentioned and seen in the anime to have the ability to fly, Dragonair is unable to use the HM {{m|Fly}}, or any other Flying-type moves for that matter.
*This Pokémon evolves at the highest level (55) possible. The only other Pokémon that evolves at that level is {{p|Pupitar}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''lóng'', traditional {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck.
====Name origin====
Dragonair's name appears to be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''air'', referring to its ability to change the weather, or "lair", the home of a dragon. It may also be a play on the word ''debonair''. ''Hakuryū'' could be taken to mean 白竜, white dragon. Hakuryu was also the name of the dragonlike companion of Hakai from the legend of the [[wp:Journey to the West|journey to the west]] in Buddhist lore.

Talk:Misty's Staryu/Featured article candidate

2008-07-15T20:46:58Z

Wikid: /* Other comments */

===Support (1)===
*This is one of the most well-written artciles I have seen (if not the most). It's detailed, accurate and fits all the criteria for a featured article candidate. Ater I read it I was blown away, its now my favourite article and I wholeheartedly believe it deserves to be a featured article. [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

===Object (3)===
*This article was written largely by a fanboy/girl, and contains a huge amount of information that I believe to be extraneous. I don't think a list of every single time Staryu appears from its Poké Ball should qualify as an FA. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 00:48, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
*I don't understand why it even is a candidate. My opinion about this is simple; NO! [[User:MathijsP|MathijsP]] 06:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
*Yea I don't get it was even nominated--[[User:CoolPikachu!|CoolPikachu!]] 06:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

===Other comments===

To the people who said they don't get why it was nominated, I did explain in the talk page. Plus, I have noticed something here. This is the only article that has more object votes than support. Something else I notice is that this article is the only that doesn't cover an extremely broad subject like the others. It seems to me that the rest of you are only supporting articles that have a lot of writing (and therefore huge) and are objecting ones that are more specialized, such as this. If this is the case I find it insurmountably injust as a featured article should not be judged on quantity but rather quality, as stated by the criteria. Although this article is still quite big anyways. Finally, I hardly think that any of the informaton in the article is irrelevant. The article requires informtion about Staryu's history and that's what has been detailed. Its not a list of everytime Staryu has appeared from its pokeball as a) Its not in lst format and b) Staryu has been sent out A LOT more times than the article specifies (for lack of a better verb) so if it was the list would be much bigger so don't make it out to be.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 20:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. It evolves from {{P|Pikachu}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Raichu is a rather small bipedal rodent. It's able to run faster on all fours. Like Pikachu, from which it evolves, Raichu has long ears and feet, and stubby arms. Also like Pikachu, Raichu has two horizontal brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin tail has a broad, lightning bolt-shaped end.

Raichu is yellow-brownish in color, with a white belly. Its arms are halfway brown, as well as its feet. The soles of its feet are tan colored. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outsides and yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl at their bottom-most point. Its cheek sacs are yellow.

====Gender differences====
A female Raichu has a smaller, blunted lightning bolt at the end of its tail.

====Special abilities====
Although small, Raichu is capable of storing over 100,000 volts of electricity on its body.

Raichu, and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Pikachu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Behavior===
Raichu is much more aggressive than {{p|Pikachu}}, especially if it has stored too much electricity in its body.

It will constantly electrocute objects, people, and Pokémon until its electricity level is back to normal.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Raichu are found in forests and vibrant woodlands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:SurgesRaichu.jpg|thumb|right|The Raichu belonging to Lt. Surge]]
[[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]], has a {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} that was defeated when it could not keep up with the speed of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. Lt. Surge's Raichu is voiced in both versions by 高乃麗 ''Urara Takano''.

Raichu was one of the four Pokémon causing trouble for Pikachu and co. in ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]'', along with {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Cubone}}.

In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', a girl named {{ka|Katrina}} decided to use her Raichu in the film "Pokémon in Love." Katrina's Raichu is voiced in both versions by ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''.

''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'' was about a stage show that featured "talking" Pokémon. [[Kay]]'s Raichu was supposed be a part of these shows, but it had stage fright. Kay's Raichu is voiced in both versions by ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]''.

A Raichu was seen herding {{P|Mareep}} in ''[[EP139|Mild'n Wooley]]''.

Raichu is one of the Pokémon that were affected by the crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

Raichu also made a cameo in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. It was one of the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using. Raichu tried to be the hero by zapping the crystal, but the attack bounced back to itself.

A Raichu named Sugar appeared in ''[[DP024|Cooking Up a Sweet Story]]'', having evolved from the restaurant owners' missing Pikachu.

Another Raichu appeared in [[DP074]], owned by [[Shō]], and launched an attack so powerful, Ash's Pikachu could barely breathe.

==In the manga==
[[Lt. Surge]] has a Raichu in [[Pokémon Special]].

[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] had a {{p|Pikachu}} that chose to evolve into a Raichu to help him defeat the [[Elite Four]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]].

A Raichu is a character in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].

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

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|gen=1
|type=electric
|redbluedex=Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high voltage power.
|yellowdex=When electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes feisty. It also glows in the dark.
|stadiumdex=Its electrical attacks may reach 10,000 volts. It discharges electricity from its tail, so it is not harmed by its own power.
|golddex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|silverdex=If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
|crystaldex=If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
|stadium2dex=When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual.
|rubydex=If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest.
|sapphiredex=This Pokémon exudes a weak electrical charge from all over its body that makes it take on a slight glow in darkness. Raichu searches for electricity by planting its tail in the ground.
|emeralddex=If it stores too much electricity, its behavior turns aggressive. To avoid this, it occasionally discharges excess energy and calms itself down.
|firereddex=Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an [[wp:Indian Elephant|Indian elephant]] to faint.
|leafgreendex=Its long tail serves as ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
|diamonddex=It turns agressive if it has too much electricity in its body. It discharges power through its tail.
|pearldex=It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} there is a Scientist at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an Electrode. If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail are like those of a {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.
====Name origin====
Raichu comes from the combination of 雷 ''rai'', thunder, and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'', which is Japanese onomatopoeia for squeaking.

==In other languages==

That's what this page is. It goes into the utmost detail about what seems like EVERY SINGLE FRIKKIN' TIME Staryu appears (now that I look at the history, it looks like our resident [[User:Starmie121|Starmie fan]] was responsible for the expansion). Is it really necessary to do this? I mean, if there's no reason NOT to, then by all means leave it. But considering how excruciatingly specific it is... I dunno. It's up to you guys whether or not to cut it down. Mostly I'm just sore because it took me forever to do all the cleanup for this. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 21:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, It has a lot of detail and is extremely accurate. There's no reason to change it back or cut it down. In fact I even nominated it to be a featured article candidate. [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 00:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

::Well like I said on the featured article candidate page, when I read it it just blew my mind. It is very in depth and details the entirity of Staryu's tenure in Misty's team.

'''Misty's Staryu''' (Japanese: '''カスミのヒトデマン''' ''Kasumi's Hitodeman'') was the one of the three original [[Pokémon]] acquired by [[Misty]] in the [[Kanto]] region. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]''.

==History==
Misty uses Staryu often as one of her main attacking Pokémon throughout most of the series. It doesn't seem to have much of a personality due to its extremely un-anthromorphic features, but Misty says she's able to recognize its emotions and feelings. It often shimmered when called into battle, and its core glowed pink accompanied by a siren like 'Bing' when it was tired. Despite not having a gender, its cry sounded like a male martial artist exclaiming 'Hiya!'

Staryu was first used to defend Mt. Moon against an attack by [[Team Rocket]]. Staryu was sent out against {{MTR}}, who was trying to abduct a {{p|Clefairy}}.

Misty next used Staryu in her Gym battle against {{Ash}}. When Ash didn't recognize Staryu, he used his [[Pokédex]] on it; he later commented "Trust a girl to show off her jewelry!". Despite this Staryu was able to beat {{AP|Butterfree}} by tackling it into the water.

Staryu was also used for its strong swimming abilities, helping Ash and co. escape the sunken [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]], and also later helped the team escape [[James's Gyarados]] along with {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. It also tried to help the gang get to the North Pole along with Goldeen, Starmie and {{AP|Squirtle}}, however it, along with its fellow swimmers, tired out before they made it. It would again be called to help tow a raft to escape a crumbling island made up of {{p|Kabuto}} that were now reviving.

Misty auditioned Staryu for a part in a movie in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion!]]'', however, as is often the case with Misty calling out Staryu, Psyduck came out instead. Staryu did get a part however, helping provide the rain effect for the final scene. Its media career also included dancing on stage in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' to help a traveling riverboat show that dubbed acting Pokémon with human voices back stage.

[[Image:MistyStaryu.gif|left|thumb|Misty commanding her Staryu]]
Staryu was often called into battle, even relied on when Misty had access to other Pokémon such as {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}. Staryu's strength was called on in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', battling {{oi|Marina}}'s {{p|Tentacruel}}. Upon entering battle Marina commented it was an excellent looking Staryu, Misty responded that Staryu was one of her favorite Pokémon and that she polished it daily. The pampering appeared to pay off as it was able to take down Tentacruel with one {{m|Swift}} attack. It was however thwarted by her much more powerful Psyduck.

Staryu was also used to fight Ash a second time to win a {{AP|Totodile}}. It battled against his {{AP|Chikorita}}, showing high determination, digging in its heels against a {{m|Tackle}} and dodging through {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. It was also able to strike a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} that jetted Chikorita several feet up and across the battle field. It was, however, beaten to the ground by a powerful Vine Whip. Misty later apologized to Staryu, saying she hoped she hadn't pushed it too hard and only did so because she had an immense amount of faith in the Pokémon, showing she had a very strong bond with Staryu and cared about it greatly.

In what is considered by some as it's best battle on screen, Staryu was called up against [[Molly]] in [[Spell of the Unown|the third movie]]. Being under water, Staryu showed to be even more capable than on land. It went up against {{p|Mantine}} and scored a couple of tackles before looping round for another run. Before it was able to hit, Staryu was hit by Mantine's {{m|Whirlpool}}, although the attack, even combined with a direct hit from {{m|BubbleBeam}}, wasn't able to even effect it slightly. It then easily dissipated the Whirlpool with {{m|Rapid Spin}} and went on the offensive with several high speed Tackles, chasing Mantine through the water in dogged pursuit.

It was also called on in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]'' to defend the [[Cerulean City]] [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]] from a challenge by the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]]. Staryu battled very well, until the brothers called out three Tentacruel against it and defeated it with a volley of {{m|Poison Sting}}s. Despite not being bale to battle, Staryu won by default due to the Pokémon Brothers cheating by using more than one Pokémon. They tried to justify themselves by saying the challenge was against all three of them, however Nurse Joy's ruling stood.

Misty used Staryu quite often in Kanto and during the Orange Islands saga. However, after she captured her {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}, she started to use it less often. By the end of the Johto saga, Misty hardly ever used Staryu, preferring to use her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon first seen in the [[Generation II]] games. Its single move, {{m|Sketch}}, allows it to learn nearly any move in existence.

Smeargle does not evolve to or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smeargle are unusual white and brown Pokémon that seem unremarkable at first, but they possess a tail with an end that resembles a paintbrush. This paintbrush is oozing with paint. The color of the paint is apparently different for each Smeargle. Although sprites from the game depict green, brown and red the anime also shows yelow and blue.

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

====Special abilities====
Smeargle secretes a fluid from its tail, which can be used as paint. Smeargle is the only Pokémon known to express itself in an artistic fashion. Smeargle is also the only Pokémon that can learn ''any'' move '''permanently''' thanks to its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}.

===Behavior===
Smeargle live in groups. When a Smeargle reaches adulthood, the other members of the group draw a paw-print pattern on its back. Those who refuse to let themselves be marked are ostracized from the pack.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Smeargle are very adaptable, and can live just about anywhere. You can always tell when you've found a Smeargle's territory because it will mark the boundary with the paint-like substance excreted by its tail.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:199episode.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Three Smeargle in the anime.]]
Smeargle first appeared in ''[[Pikachu and Pichu]]'' as part of the [[Pichu Brothers]] Possé.

In ''[[EP197|The Art Of Pokémon]]'', a trio of Smeargle were vandalizing [[Whitestone]].

A Smeargle was seen working in a nail salon in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Whitney]] gave her Smeargle to [[DJ Mary]]. It also appeared in the Emerald Saga.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: After rescuing Smeargle from [[Howling Forest]], it will change the rescue base's flag on request.
* [[Pokémon Channel]]: A Smeargle appears in a television program called Smeargle's Art Study. He will rate the painting hanging on the player's bedroom wall, namely a picture the player made.

==Trivia==
* Smeargle is the only non-legendary, non-{{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon able to legally know {{m|Draco Meteor}}.
* Smeargle is one of three Pokémon legally able to use {{m|Transform}}, the others being {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Since Sketch lets Smeargle learn any move, it can also pass down egg moves to any Pokémon in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* In [[Generation II]] games, Smeargle's shiny form changes its original brownish color to green. In later games, however, green becomes its most common color, while the shiny color is red.
* Smeargle's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} sprites are almost exactly the same as those from [[Generation III]].
*{{wp|paradox|Paradoxically}}, Smeargle is simultaneously the Pokémon with the smallest movepool (learning only one move ever, which ties it with {{p|Ditto}}) and the Pokémon with the largest movepool (using that move to learn any other move).

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}.

====Name origin====
Smeargle's name may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''dog'' and ''doodle'' or ''dabble'' – to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered.
It could also be a combination of {{wp|doberman}}, a kind of dog, and double, as a reference to {{m|Sketch}}, which copies the previous move used.

Its German name, Farbeagle, comes from {{tt|Farbe|color}} and ''beagle''. Its French name, Queulorior, comes from {{tt|queue|tail}} and {{tt|colorier|to color}}.

'''May's Beautifly''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのアゲハント''' ''Haruka's Agehunt'') was the second [[Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} in her travels through [[Hoenn]], and the first she ever caught in the wild. Its Japanese voice actress is 白石涼子 ''Ryoko Shiraishi'' and its English voice actresses are [[Rachael Lillis]] ([[4Kids]] dub) and [[Michele Knotz]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub).

==History==
While watching a [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly]]'', May saw [[Janet|a trainer's]] Beautifly perform and decided that she wanted one. Her wish came true immediately the following episode, and May caught a Wurmple in the episode ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]'', as did [[Jessie]]. Several episodes later, in ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', both Wurmples were temporarily switched, but were returned to their proper trainers by the episode's end. In the episode ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'', May's Wurmple evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} while Jessie's evolved into {{p|Cascoon}}; Jessie believed hers was a Silcoon as well. Four episodes later, in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]'', Jessie's Cascoon evolved into [[Jessie's Dustox|Dustox]], while May's Silcoon evolved into Beautifly.

In the episode ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', May used Beautifly as her Pokémon in a [[PokéRinger]] competition. [[James]], using Dustox, defeated Beautifly in the competition, but Dustox eventually succumbed to a last-minute defeat when [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] {{p|Taillow}} evolved into a {{TP|Ash|Swellow}}.

Before heading off to the [[Battle Frontier]], May left her Beautifly at her home in Petalburg City. It returned temporarily in ''[[AG186|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]'', and again, permanently in [[DP076]].

Beautifly returned in the [[Wallace Cup]], defeating Zoey's Glameow.

==Personality==

As a Wurmple, it was very greedy. It would gorge itself on food and then fall asleep, unlike Jessie's more sedate and well-behaved Wurmple. When it evolved to both its latter stages, however, it became more calm and mellow.

The fact that May's beautifly was the only one of her pokemon which enjoyed her first pokeblocks which she made (that were LiteBlue) suggests that May's beautifly enjoys bitter [[Pokéblock]]. This therefore suggests that its nature is either Calm, Careful, Sassy or Gentle. Though, judging from its calm and mellow demeanor which it exhibits as a Beautifly this may mean that May's beautifly has a calm [[nature]].

* Since Sketch lets Smeargle learn any move, it can also pass down egg moves to any Pokémon in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* In [[Generation II]] games, Smeargle's shiny form changes its original brownish color to green. In later games, however, green becomes its most common color, while the shiny color is red.
* Smeargle's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} sprites are almost exactly the same as those from [[Generation III]].
*{{wp|paradox|Paradoxically}}, Smeargle is simultaneously the Pokémon with the smallest movepool (learning only one move ever, which ties it with {{p|Ditto}}) and the Pokémon with the largest movepool (using that move to learn any other move).

===Origin===
Smeargle appears to be based on a {{wp|beagle}} and a {{wp|painter}}.

====Name origin====
Smeargle's name may be a combination of ''smear'' and ''beagle''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''dog'' and ''doodle'' or ''dabble'' – to splatter liquid, which could be a reference to paint being splattered.
It could also be a combination of {{wp|doberman}}, a kind of dog, and double, as a reference to {{m|Sketch}}, which copies the previous move used.

Its German name, Farbeagle, comes from {{tt|Farbe|color}} and ''beagle''. Its French name, Queulorior, comes from {{tt|queue|tail}} and {{tt|colorier|to color}}.

'''Smeargle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドーブル''' ''Doble'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon first seen in the [[Generation II]] games. Its single move, {{m|Sketch}}, allows it to learn nearly any move in existence.

Smeargle does not evolve to or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Smeargle are unusual white and brown Pokémon that seem unremarkable at first, but they possess a tail with an end that resembles a paintbrush. This paintbrush is oozing with paint. The color of the paint is apparently different for each Smeargle. Although sprites from the game depict green brown and red the anime also shows yelow and blue. (Its shiny form also appears to be wearing a different beret.

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

====Special abilities====
Smeargle secretes a fluid from its tail, which can be used as paint. Smeargle is the only Pokémon known to express itself in an artistic fashion. Smeargle is also the only Pokémon that can learn ''any'' move '''permanently''' thanks to its [[signature move]], {{m|Sketch}}.

===Behavior===
Smeargle live in groups. When a Smeargle reaches adulthood, the other members of the group draw a paw-print pattern on its back. Those who refuse to let themselves be marked are ostracized from the pack.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Smeargle are very adaptable, and can live just about anywhere. You can always tell when you've found a Smeargle's territory because it will mark the boundary with the paint-like substance excreted by its tail.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:199episode.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Three Smeargle in the anime.]]
Smeargle first appeared in ''[[Pikachu and Pichu]]'' as part of the [[Pichu Brothers]] Possé.

In ''[[EP197|The Art Of Pokémon]]'', a trio of Smeargle were vandalizing [[Whitestone]].

A Smeargle was seen working in a nail salon in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Whitney]] gave her Smeargle to [[DJ Mary]]. It also appeared in the Emerald Saga.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: After rescuing Smeargle from [[Howling Forest]], it will change the rescue base's flag on request.
* [[Pokémon Channel]]: A Smeargle appears in a television program called Smeargle's Art Study. He will rate the painting hanging on the player's bedroom wall, namely a picture the player made.

'''May's Beautifly''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのアゲハント''' ''Haruka's Agehunt'') was the second [[Pokémon]] acquired by {{an|May}} in her travels through [[Hoenn]], and the first she ever caught in the wild. Its Japanese voice actress is 白石涼子 ''Ryoko Shiraishi'' and its English voice actresses are [[Rachael Lillis]] ([[4Kids]] dub) and [[Michele Knotz]] ([[Pokémon USA]]/[[TAJ Productions]] dub).

While watching a [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly]]'', May saw [[Janet|a trainer's]] Beautifly perform and decided that she wanted one. Her wish came true immediately the following episode, and May caught a Wurmple in the episode ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]'', as did [[Jessie]]. Several episodes later, in ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', both Wurmples were temporarily switched, but were returned to their proper trainers by the episode's end. In the episode ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'', May's Wurmple evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} while Jessie's evolved into {{p|Cascoon}}; Jessie believed hers was a Silcoon as well. Four episodes later, in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]'', Jessie's Cascoon evolved into [[Jessie's Dustox|Dustox]], while May's Silcoon evolved into Beautifly.

In the episode ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'', May used Beautifly as her Pokémon in a [[PokéRinger]] competition. [[James]], using Dustox, defeated Beautifly in the competition, but Dustox eventually succumbed to a last-minute defeat when [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] {{p|Taillow}} evolved into a {{TP|Ash|Swellow}}.

Before heading off to the [[Battle Frontier]], May left her Beautifly at her home in Petalburg City. It returned temporarily in ''[[AG186|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]'', and again, permanently in [[DP076]].

Beautifly returned in the [[Wallace Cup]], defeating Zoey's Glameow.

==Personality==

As a Wurmple, it was very greedy. It would gorge itself on food and then fall asleep, unlike Jessie's more sedate and well-behaved Wurmple. When it evolved to both its latter stages, however, it became more calm and mellow.

The fact that May's beautifly was the only one of her pokemon which enjoyed her first pokeblocks which she made (that were LiteBlue) suggests that May's beautifly enjoys bitter [[Pokéblock]]. This therefore suggests that its nature is either Calm, Careful, Sassy or Gentle. Though, judging from its calm and mellow demeanor which it exhibits as a Beautifly this may mean that May's beautifly has a calm [[nature]].

Um, {{u|TTEchidna}}, you put down that Arseus can become an ???-type Pokémon by holding a ??? Plate. Where'd you get that from?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 21:35, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Man u have got to be kidding me Arceus catch rate should not be 3. I used my Action replay to get the item 4 arceus then i went and caought it on my 5th dusk ball. My friend caought it on him 1st ultra ball. Another friend i gave the item 2 caught it on his 2nd qiuck ball.
:Man, you have to be kidding me, you can't even spell the word "you" right. Arceus's catch rate is 3. If you'll notice, those balls multiply the catch rate formula by quite a bit, which greatly increases the chance to be caught. Plus, it's all on luck, I've had Magikarp break out of balls before. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 22:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

==Is there a point...==
Is there a point of having a table for each of the plates when it is attached to Arceus?
We could just have Arceus without a plate, and then have each title with an image and a sentence saying what type Arceus changes to.
For Example:

:::Since when was pokemon ever ethical? Think about it, the aim of the game is to run away from home at 10 years old (good parenting skills mom) and after having abuse a poor little starly to the brink of death by slashing it over and over again with false swipe you throw something at it, only adding to the poor creature's pain and torture only to trap it inside a small, cramped chamber for the rest of its unnatural life whilst using it to abuse other pokemon. But anyways I digress, the point is the piece of fanart looks nice, is accurate and fits in perfectly with all the official pokemon artwork.

== Metronome ==

My Mew used Judgement through Metronome. Should I include something like this under "Trivia":

Although Nintendo is attempting to keep Arceus secret, it is possible for Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, to be used through {{m|Metronome}}, thus potentially revealing the existence of Arceus to otherwise unaware fans.

== Shishigami? ==

Should any mention of the Forest Spirit Shishigami from Miyazaki Hayao's Mononoke-Hime be mentioned in the article? Arceus seems to have a resemblance to Shishigami. In addition, on the illegal hacked Pokémon Diamond (Telefang Power), Shishigami appears on the front, despite not having anything to do with the game (that's the way those criminals work), and then in the real Pokémon Diamond, Arceus was added. Does anyone else think that some trivia should be added about this? ~Kumori Satosuke
:Outside of the whole quadrupedal thing, I don't think there's anything else that's official to suggest a connection. For example, Arceus seems to be nothing outside of a creator, while shishigami is given dominion over life and death.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:27, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

== ??? type sprite may prevent crash ==
Just a theory, but the programmers at Game Freak may have drawn and programmmed a ??? type Arceus to prevent game crashes. Anyone with a code patcher can figure out how to change a Pokémon's type. They might have figured that someone would tamper with Arceus's type, and if they changed it to a ??? type, and there was no sprite for it, the game would crash because it would try loading data that does not exist. That's my theory anyway. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 02:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

== {{type2|???}} Sprite ==

[[Image:Question-Type Arceus Before.jpg|thumb|left|Before]][[Image:Question-Type Arceus After.jpg|thumb|right|After]]How long has the sprite of ???-type Arceus been pulling that vanishing act? Basically, the only time you can see the sprite is when the white background on PNG-format images is still visible, as seen in the Before shot. Once the white backgrounds vanish, the rest of the sprite should still be there. However, on ???-type Arceus, the sprite vanishes along with the background, as seen in the After shot. Is there a way to fix this?

(The shots in question come from an area of my own user page, specifically a [[Template:User Favorite Move|favorite move tag]] programmed for a ???-type move and {{m|Curse}} with the Arceus sprite in question for a laugh. The [[Template:User 2000|2000-edits in a month tag]] above it is also shown for comparison.) --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 05:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I figured out the vanishing act. It's due to the filename. Many operating systems don't allow question marks in filenames, and it's probably due to those that caused the image to vanish. I went and uploaded an image to [[a:Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png]] on the archives, and that image works as it should! Every instance of the vanishing image has been changed to the one that doesn't vanish, so you won't be seeing vanishing ???-type Arceus again anytime soon. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

:It is the first "permanent" pure Flying-type. The Porygon line can become Flying-types with their Conversion moves, and Kecleon can with its Color Change Ability. These Pokémon, however, revert back to Normal when the battle is over. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 18:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

::::No its not. Its only a permanent flying type if its natural type (i.e. no plate) is flying. You might as well say its also the first permamnent ??? type since it can become that (potentially) too.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 16:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::If you never remove the plate, then it's permanent. Plus, you can't obtain a ???-type Arceus in-game in any normal fashion. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 16:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::: Says you. firstly, the word permanent implies that the typing can never be changed. If you unequip the plate Arceus goes back to normal therefore it's not permanent. At best I would say its semi-permament. Secondly, there might a ??? plate given out at an event or found somewhere in platinum like Glacidia's flower. ??? forme arceus might be the result when you enter the torn world with arceus. It might even be what Arceus looks like when it is a shadow pokemon as there might be a new game coming out to do with shadow pokemon and DPP might be the first generation where you can trade shadow pokemon over. Therefore if you can trade it as shadow poke between DP and platinum then there is a way to get an ??? forme Arceus in a normal fashion.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 17:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

== My Theory ==

I believe that the ??? mark plate will exsist tin the anime because I can almost 100% sure that there will be a movie on Arceus, I then think they will give away an Arceus that has the ??? Plate or It will be avaliable in Platnuim. ''I do not think that it is just so hackers can make the plate.'' - PokePal
:They'll give away Arceus in Japan next year, yes. But the presence of an item with it that is not programmed into DP is very, very unlikely. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 15:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I thought the ??? plate was programmed in DP! Look here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Unknown_type

:No plate exists. Hackers can manipulate Arceus to make it the ???-type, but I'm not sure how that would affect the game or the move Judgment. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 15:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Could it soon exist? Where is the proof that it doesnt also? I found this about it http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/arceus.shtml
They don't know if it does-PokePal

:The sprite and coloration exists. But no plate is associated with it. It is unlikely that an item will be created because that would prevent Arceus from being traded to Diamond or Pearl as no item exists in those games' coding. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 15:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Sheesh thanxs for ruining my life and theory lol Thanx maybe it will just be in the anime!PokePal

:There is still a possibility that ???-type Arceus will exist, there just won't be a plate or any other type of held item that will change Arceus to that type. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 15:29, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Wait it is a real Item, that is only for hackers? PokePal

I have realized that Arceus doesn't need the ???-Plate to become ???-type. If anybody wants to know how,this is how: it might change type according to locatiion not ot item held just like Burmey and Wormadam that location is most probably the Torn World.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 09:25, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

:It's also worth noting that this would make sense: On the ???-type's page, it notes that offensive moves of the ???-type have been hacked in, and do almost no damage even with a power of 255. That would mean that, if Arceus were made a ???-type while in the Torn World, his signature attack, Judgment, would be rendered completely useless. [[User:SixthFlyingMan|SixthFlyingMan]] 05:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

The move Judjement shifts type according to the plate held, effectiveness and effcts are also shifted, so Judjements effects are also changed when ???-type plate is held, if existent.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 13:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

:Man, you have to be kidding me, you can't even spell the word "you" right. Arceus's catch rate is 3.

==Is there a point...==
Is there a point of having a table for each of the plates when it is attached to Arceus?
We could just have Arceus without a plate, and then have each title with an image and a sentence saying what type Arceus changes to.
For Example:

==Type effectiveness==
[[Image:493Arseus.png|thumb|right|Sprite for {{type2|Normal}} Arceus]]
===No plate equipped===
{{DP type effectiveness|
Normal= 100 |
Fighting=200 |
Flying= 100 |
Poison= 100 |
Ground= 100 |
Rock= 100 |
Bug= 100 |
Ghost= 0 |
Steel= 100 |

Fire= 100 |
Water= 100 |
Grass= 100 |
Electric=100 |
Psychic= 100 |
Ice= 100 |
Dragon= 100 |
Dark= 100 }}
[[Image:Spr 4d 493-Fire.png|thumb|right|Sprite for {{type2|Fire}} Arceus]]

When the Flame Plate is attached to Arceus, it becomes a Fire type.

But anyways I digress, the point is the piece of fanart looks nice, is accurate and fits in perfectly with all the official pokemon artwork.

Should any mention of the Forest Spirit Shishigami from Miyazaki Hayao's Mononoke-Hime be mentioned in the article? Arceus seems to have a resemblance to Shishigami. In addition, on the illegal hacked Pokémon Diamond (Telefang Power), Shishigami appears on the front, despite not having anything to do with the game (that's the way those criminals work), and then in the real Pokémon Diamond, Arceus was added. Does anyone else think that some trivia should be added about this? ~Kumori Satosuke

Just a theory, but the programmers at Game Freak may have drawn and programmmed a ??? type Arceus to prevent game crashes. Anyone with a code patcher can figure out how to change a Pokémon's type.

[[Image:Question-Type Arceus Before.jpg|thumb|left|Before]][[Image:Question-Type Arceus After.jpg|thumb|right|After]]How long has the sprite of ???-type Arceus been pulling that vanishing act? Basically, the only time you can see the sprite is when the white background on PNG-format images is still visible, as seen in the Before shot. Once the white backgrounds vanish, the rest of the sprite should still be there. However, on ???-type Arceus, the sprite vanishes along with the background, as seen in the After shot. Is there a way to fix this?

(The shots in question come from an area of my own user page, specifically a [[Template:User Favorite Move|favorite move tag]] programmed for a ???-type move and {{m|Curse}} with the Arceus sprite in question for a laugh.

I think I figured out the vanishing act. It's due to the filename. Many operating systems don't allow question marks in filenames, and it's probably due to those that caused the image to vanish. I went and uploaded an image to [[a:Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png]] on the archives, and that image works as it should! Every instance of the vanishing image has been changed to the one that doesn't vanish, so you won't be seeing vanishing ???-type Arceus again anytime soon. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

But anyways I digress, the point is the piece of fanart looks nice, is accurate and fits in perfectly with all the official pokemon artwork.

My Mew used Judgement through Metronome. Should I include something like this under "Trivia":

Although Nintendo is attempting to keep Arceus secret, it is possible for Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, to be used through {{m|Metronome}}, thus potentially revealing the existence of Arceus to otherwise unaware fans.

== Shishigami? ==

Should any mention of the Forest Spirit Shishigami from Miyazaki Hayao's Mononoke-Hime be mentioned in the article? Arceus seems to have a resemblance to Shishigami. In addition, on the illegal hacked Pokémon Diamond (Telefang Power), Shishigami appears on the front, despite not having anything to do with the game (that's the way those criminals work), and then in the real Pokémon Diamond, Arceus was added. Does anyone else think that some trivia should be added about this? ~Kumori Satosuke
:Outside of the whole quadrupedal thing, I don't think there's anything else that's official to suggest a connection. For example, Arceus seems to be nothing outside of a creator, while shishigami is given dominion over life and death.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:27, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

== ??? type sprite may prevent crash ==
Just a theory, but the programmers at Game Freak may have drawn and programmmed a ??? type Arceus to prevent game crashes. Anyone with a code patcher can figure out how to change a Pokémon's type. They might have figured that someone would tamper with Arceus's type, and if they changed it to a ??? type, and there was no sprite for it, the game would crash because it would try loading data that does not exist. That's my theory anyway. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 02:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

== {{type2|???}} Sprite ==

[[Image:Question-Type Arceus Before.jpg|thumb|left|Before]][[Image:Question-Type Arceus After.jpg|thumb|right|After]]How long has the sprite of ???-type Arceus been pulling that vanishing act? Basically, the only time you can see the sprite is when the white background on PNG-format images is still visible, as seen in the Before shot. Once the white backgrounds vanish, the rest of the sprite should still be there. However, on ???-type Arceus, the sprite vanishes along with the background, as seen in the After shot. Is there a way to fix this?

(The shots in question come from an area of my own user page, specifically a [[Template:User Favorite Move|favorite move tag]] programmed for a ???-type move and {{m|Curse}} with the Arceus sprite in question for a laugh. The [[Template:User 2000|2000-edits in a month tag]] above it is also shown for comparison.) --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 05:41, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I figured out the vanishing act. It's due to the filename. Many operating systems don't allow question marks in filenames, and it's probably due to those that caused the image to vanish. I went and uploaded an image to [[a:Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png]] on the archives, and that image works as it should! Every instance of the vanishing image has been changed to the one that doesn't vanish, so you won't be seeing vanishing ???-type Arceus again anytime soon. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Plate or It will be avaliable in Platnuim. ''I do not think that it is just so hackers can make the plate.'' - PokePal

:It's also worth noting that this would make sense: On the ???-type's page, it notes that offensive moves of the ???-type have been hacked in, and do almost no damage even with a power of 255.

I think I figured out the vanishing act. It's due to the filename. Many operating systems don't allow question marks in filenames, and it's probably due to those that caused the image to vanish. I went and uploaded an image to [[a:Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png|Image:Spr 4d 493-Unknown.png]] on the archives, and that image works as it should! Every instance of the vanishing image has been changed to the one that doesn't vanish, so you won't be seeing vanishing ???-type Arceus again anytime soon. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I remember {{u|Urutapu}} saying something about a screenshot of Arceus from PBR. Well, I got a Wii ''and'' PBR for Christmas. And I have *cough*cheated*cough* four Arceuses. All I need now is a good-quality emulator that can screenshot my Wii with. Any suggestions?

'''Cerulean Cave''' (Japanese: '''ハナダのどうくつ''' ''Hanada Cave''), sometimes referred to as the '''Unknown Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''ななしのどうくつ''' ''Nameless Cave'') in [[Generation I]], is a cave located northwest of [[Cerulean City]] in [[Kanto]]. The cave is home to a wide variety of high-level [[wild Pokémon]]. Only trainers who compete and win in the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] may enter due to the potency of the Pokémon in the cave. At the end of the cave lies {{p|Mewtwo}}, the only one of its species in the game.

Cerulean Cave has had many different layouts over time, getting a change from not only one [[Generation]] to the next, but also from one game release to the next. In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], the layout is true to that of the original [[Pokémon Red and Green|Red and Green]] games, aside from the addition of {{m|Rock Smash}} boulders.

Another addition in FireRed/LeafGreen lies in the fact that trainers are now required to further prove themselves before entering the cave, which is done by completing the quest on [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the [[Network Machine]] to operational status. Another change is in the fact that more Pokémon can be found only by fishing, while wild Pokémon found just by walking around in the cave are reduced in number. In Generation I, there are also several species that make no sense to be in the cave, such as {{p|Dodrio}} and Pokémon that are otherwise only obtainable by [[evolutionary stone|stone-induced evolution]], however, this has been fixed in Generation III, at the cost of some of the wild Pokémon diversity.

In [[Generation II]] the Unknown Dungeon completely collapsed. However, the leftovers of {{p|Mewtwo}}'s presence can still be found in the lake near the cave, in the form of [[In-battle effect item#Berserk_Gene|Berserk Gene]].
