can you use this on an opponents pokemon? We might want to clear this up... {{unsigned|Link6491}}
:I think so. That's how I remember it.--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 03:05, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
:Yes you can. I have it on a Wormadam for that exact reason, since Anticipation is kinda useless. [[User:Dexington|Dexington]] 03:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Will the Skill Swap stay in effect after the Pokemon is switched out? [[User:CubeShapedWatermelon|CubeShapedWatermelon]] 02:49, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Technician (Ability)

2011-05-05T23:56:43Z

Wikifixer: /* Pursuiting a Fleeing foe + Technician, how does it work? */

===Technician's effect on Confusion?===

I noticed that my Scizor got hit a lot more than my other Pokémon when it hurt itself due to confusion. Since Confusion treats that attack as a base power 40 typeless attack, does that get affected by Technician too, or is it just me? --[[User:Jayc|Jayc]] 12:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:Good question. I guess it needs {{bp|Spading}}. ×'''[[User:Kevzo8|Ke]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|vz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|o8]]''' 12:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

== STAB? ==

If the Pokémon with Technician uses a STAB move with 60 base power, does it still receive a Technician boost?

For example, if I had an Ambipom with Technician, and it would use Swift, would it still get the Technician boost, even if STAB boosts Swift's base power? [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 16:30, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
:Technician boost takes priority. Otherwise, super-effective moves would never get a Technician boost. [[User:bookofveteran|bookofveteran]] 20:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
::So that means STAB Tech'd moves are really operating at a x2.25? Or still just x1.5? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 08:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
:::It's x2.25, yes. Spike Cannon if it hit 5 times would have 225 base power, and Smellingsalt against a paralysed foe would be 270! [[User:bookofveteran|bookofveteran]] 13:47, 01 August 2009 (UTC)
:::: So that means that generally, with multiple hit moves (Bullet seed, Fury attack) you multiply base power of just one single hit, right? (hoping for bullet seed technician Brellom) [[User:Piotr mil|Piotr mil]] 02:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

== Pursuiting a Fleeing foe + Technician, how does it work? ==

I'm having my doubts there. Technician would normally activate on Pursuit if the foe wasn't fleeing, giving it a base power of 60. But if the foe were to flee just when the attacker would use Pursuit, what would the base power be?:

40(Base Power)x2(Pursuit's Ability)= 80

or

40(Base Power)x1.5(Technician)x2(Pursuit's Ability)= 120

(A typical pokémon with Technician and Pursuit would be Scizor, just in case) [[User:Shadrio|Shadrio]] 16:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
:Well, it seems simple enough to test. Use a power item to get a non variable attack IV on two different, say, Scyther with different abilities, use Rare Candies to boost level, then get into a battle with a trainer a few times while recording results [[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 19:15, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
::I tested this with Minccino and Wake-up Slap against a pokemon with Rest on my other DS. Wake-up Slap was doing about 50-60 hp of damage while the foe was awake, and then after it fell asleep with rest, Wake-up Slap was doing about 65-80 hp of damage. This means that Wake-up slap's doubling was applied first and thus with a power of over 60, Technician no longer applied. Because otherwise, the damage while the foe was using rest would have been in the 100-120ish range.

So, where technician is involved: Move's own power modifier is applied first, followed by Technician if base power is still 60 or less, followed by your STAB, Resist/Weakness, and crit hit modifiers.

'''Sky Drop''' (Japanese: '''フリーフォール''' ''Freefall'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
On the turn it is selected, Sky Drop brings the target to the air. While in the air, both the user and the target will be unable to take action and will avoid any move targeted at them except {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Hurricane}} or {{m|Smack Down}}. The next turn, the target is thrown down and receives damage. Sky Drop does no damage to {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but it will pick them up (and make them unable to move) on its first turn; however, Sky Drop works normally on Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}.

Sky Drop can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[triple battle]]s, and will fail if the target has a {{m|Substitute}} and while the target is using semi-invulnerable moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}.


A [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] in double and triple battles can cause a Pokémon to be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state when Sky Drop is used until it faints. The glitch is activated when {{m|Gravity}} is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after the use of Sky Drop. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until it is knocked out or hit with one of the moves listed above. Because of the glitch, Sky Drop has been banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches as of November 10, 2010.

Additionally, in a [[Rotation battle]], there is another glitch. If the opposing player rotates on the second turn of Sky Drop, the Pokémon will be dropped into their new rotated position and take no damage, while the rotated in Pokémon still gets to attack.

Triple Battle

2011-03-13T04:53:59Z

Wikifixer: /* Trivia */

[[File:Triple_battle.png|thumb|256px|right|A triple battle]]
'''Triple battles''' are one of the many forms of [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battling]], being popular with Trainers in the region of [[Unova]]. As the name suggests, triple battles are a type of battle where each {{pkmn|Trainer}} sends out three Pokémon at once. Due to this, they can be considered the successor to [[double battle]]s, with the only difference seemingly being the number of Pokémon. However, there are some restrictions that differentiate it from its predecessor other than the amount of Pokémon, such as placement.

==Placement==
Placement is a major attribute of a triple battle, as a Pokémon on the left of the field cannot attack one on the right side, and vice-versa. A Pokémon in the center, however, is free to hit any Pokémon on the field, be it on the left side, the right side, or in the center. However, this comes at a cost of being vulnerable to every other Pokémon. 

==Abilities and moves==
Certain [[ability|abilities]] and [[move]]s can affect moves in triple or double battles. One example is {{a|Telepathy}}, which protects a Pokémon from receiving damage from its own teammates in triple or double battles, such as when a teammate uses {{m|Earthquake}}. Some moves can hit any opponent regardless of placement. These moves are:

{{tutormv|Wing Attack|Flying|cat=Physical}}
|}
|}

==Moving==
The Pokémon on the left and right have the option to 'move'. This option allows the user to switch with the Pokémon currently in the middle. Moving has no priority and none of the effects of switching apply to moving. A Pokémon can move even if it is the last Pokémon on its team. When there are only two Pokémon left on the field and they are non-adjacent to each other, then both Pokémon will automatically be moved to the center of the field.

==In Pokémon Battrio==
{{incomplete|section}}
Triple battling as a mechanic was introduced in [[Pokémon Battrio]], an arcade game using three Pokémon pucks on each side.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Master Black and White===
In the second chapter, [[Monta]] was shown in a triple battle with [[Cheren]], using {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and {{p|Roggenrola}}. Cheren used {{p|Basculin}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Pansage}}.

==Trivia==
* Interestingly, the introduction of this form of battling keeps the pattern of every odd [[generation]] since [[Generation I|the first]] adding one more Pokémon to the maximum amount to be sent out at one time in a battle.
* All {{type|Flying}} damage-dealing moves aside from [[Air Cutter (move)|Air Cutter]] can hit any target regardless of the user's field position in a triple battle.
* According to {{tc|Motorcyclist}} Charles from [[Driftveil City]], the triple battle was supposedly invented by the man to impress his lover.
* In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Jessie and James send out 3 Pokémon at once to battle Ash, the first unofficial triple battle in the series.

Freeze (status condition)

2011-02-19T08:30:30Z

Wikifixer: /* Generation III onwards */ minor note about freezing disabling Flash Fire.

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

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

==Effect==
[[File:EP189.png|right|thumb|{{an|Jigglypuff}} is frozen|200px]]
Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move for an indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary among Generations.

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

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

===Generation III onwards===
Same as Generation II, but Pokémon can attack on the turn that they defrost.

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

Freezing also disables the ability [[Flash Fire (ability)|Flash Fire]]

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

===Other causes===
Pokémon can be frozen by the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{p|Dusclops}} in the [[Battle Pike]], and by the [[Battle Arcade]].

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

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

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

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|left|Art of Brock from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer." Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon Trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]] (in the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is stated to have found Kabutops as a {{p|Kabuto}} guarding the Pewter City Museum).

In each game, there is only one other Trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This Trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} for in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, and {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} for the [[Generation III]] remakes instead. While he doesn't give out a [[TM]] in [[Generation II]], however, for the [[Generation IV]] remakes he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}}. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one Trainer will not allow for Trainers to pass onto {{rt|3}} until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when Trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after he is defeated, he will offer to [[List of in-game trades|trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}. He can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City every day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his Pokégear number if he is spoken to. If he is called on Saturday evening, he will be up for a rematch at the [[Fighting Dojo]].

==In the anime==
{{main|Brock (anime)}}

In the anime, while, like later Gym Leaders, Brock appeared primarily as an opponent to {{Ash}} in his [[EP005|debut episode]], unlike them, he requested to join Ash on his journey, aiming to be the world's greatest {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and leaving the Gym in the hands of his father, {{an|Flint}}, who had finally revealed himself to have returned from his journey. Brock advised Ash throughout the [[Kanto]] series, then left briefly during the [[Orange Archipelago]] arc to assist [[Professor Ivy]]. He returned to Ash's side in [[Johto]], and with brief returns to [[Pewter City]] at the end of each series, joined him for his journeys in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] as well.

Brock mainly provides an advisory role to the other main characters of the anime, being several years older than the rest of them. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is great, causing him to often referee matches between Ash and others. Brock also fancies himself as somewhat a ladies' man, though each time he hits on someone, he is either rejected outright, pulled away by {{an|Misty}} or [[Max]], or, most recently, {{m|Poison Jab}}bed by his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Special.png|right|thumb|Brock and his {{p|Geodude}}]]
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, however he is mentioned earlier by {{adv|Blue}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'' about being bored by no-one being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{adv|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}} after the good [[Gym Leader]]s of Kanto battled Agatha's mind-controlling {{p|Gastly}}. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]], the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

After Blaine figured out that Red must have been at Mt. Moon before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon was closest to [[Pewter City]]. He then found a cast of {{adv|Red}} frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that Pewter City was under attack by a group of [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Machop}} that was searching for Brock's {{badge|Boulder}}, and he left to protect it.

A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to Johto for the Gym Leader Tournament at the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered {{type|Steel}}, [[Jasmine]]. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the [[Magnet Train]].

Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

|epname=Onix is On
|desc={{p|Onix}} is arguably Brock's most powerful Pokémon and is apparently well known for its speed, which causes shock waves when it moves. Onix was first used in battle against {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]]. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small electric type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the [[Tohjo Falls]] went out while Brock, Erika and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by {{p|Suicune}}. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Crobat}}. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with Jasmine. It lost to Jasmine's {{p|Steelix}}, which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time. Its known attacks are {{m|Rock Throw}}, {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Bind}}.}}

===In Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Since the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based heavily on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock's appearances in it are mostly comparable to his anime appearances. However, he is not constantly traveling with Ash in the manga.

In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', there are hints about him being [[MangaShipping|in a relationship]] with [[Sabrina]].

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* In the video games (notably, the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]), Brock has been shown with several Pokémon that he would later own in the anime ({{p|Golbat}} in Stadium's Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in Stadium 2's Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight).
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Pokémon Trainer]], none of his Pokémon knew any Rock-type moves in [[Generation I]]. This did not occur in [[Generation III]] due to his chosen TM changing from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a TM of his {{t|Rock|Gym's specialty type}}, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in [[Generation I]].
** However, in [[Generation II]] there was no TM that contained a {{type2|Flying}} move for Falkner to give, whereas in [[Generation I]] {{m|Rock Slide}} is available by [[TM48]].
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock trades the player a {{p|Rhyhorn}} knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[egg move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his anime counterpart, who is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and once owned a [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Bonsly]] as well before it evolved.
* Out of all of his Pokémon in the handheld games, only {{p|Rampardos|one}} does not suffer from a double weakness against {{t|Grass}}.

'''Fissure''' (Japanese: '''じわれ''' ''Fissure'') is a {{type2|Ground}} [[one-hit knockout move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fissure inflicts damage equal to the target's current HP. Fissure will break a {{m|Substitute}} on contact, and can be countered for infinite damage on the turn it breaks a Substitute.

Fissure will not affect a target whose current {{stat|Speed}} stat is greater than the user's current Speed.

===Generation II and onward===
Unlike in Generation I, Fissure can affect a Pokémon whose Speed stat is greater than the user's current Speed stat. However, it cannot affect a Pokémon of a higher level.

Wikifixer: /* Turn Alteration */

== Iron Ball ==

Why is there a point of having an '''Iron Ball'''? The only thing that makes it useful is that it gives the most power on the [[move]] [[Fling]]... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 12:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:{{m|Trick}} also combos nicely with it. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 19:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
::You could have the Pokémon holding it use [[Trick Room]] and then the [[Speed]] cut would become a good thing. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 19:39, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it just seems like a pointless object. Never mind. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 19:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Tesh, you're only thinking of beneficial effects from holding an item. Several held items that were added in Generation IV don't actually benefit the Pokémon holding it, but are meant to be used with other strategies that weren't possible with the previous Generations. Examples:
* Toxic Orb/Flame Orb- These items don't benefit the Pokémon that holds it, but they are useful when combined with certain moves (Fling, Trick, and Switcheroo in particular) and Abilities (Guts (with Toxic Orb at least), Magic Guard (the Pokémon won't take damage from the effect, so they can use a powered-up Facade without taking excessive damage), and Klutz).
* Iron Ball- Iron Ball can be Flung to cause massive damage, or it can be Switcheroo'd/Tricked onto an opponent in order to weaken them (especially helpful against a Flying-type or a Levitating opponent). A Lopunny or Buneary with Klutz can make the most of these tricks, since they won't suffer from the reduced speed.
* Lagging Tail- Trick or Switcheroo will put this on your opponent, making them move last every turn. Very helpful if your Pokémon is extremely slow.
:Don't judge an item just by what it does; judge it by what you can do with it. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

== Black Sludge ==
I've always wondered, is there any advantage to using '''Black Sludge''' on a [[Poison-type]] Pokémon as opposed to [[Leftovers]]? [[User:Blink|Blink]] 17:37 16 August 2007 (GMT)
:You could use Trick or Switcheroo. Or, if the opponent uses Thief, Covet, Trick, or Switcheroo on the first turn because they don't know what you're holding, and they aren't a Poison-type, they will get hurt. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 16:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:: Or, if you're required to give each Pokémon a different hold item, it's the equivalent of being able to use 2 Leftovers. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 00:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I mean this I'm not jocking it did happen!! I want to know why or what!--[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 17:17, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

::Focus Sash is one-time, always works on a hit that would bring the Pokémon from full health to death (not Sheer Cold I don't think, but yes, stuff like Psychic on a fighting-type).
::if the Exploud had a Focus Band, that one can trigger multiple times, but it's only got a chance of working. That Exploud probably just got lucky-lucky. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 17:43, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Focus Sash works against ANY move that would otherwise take out the Pokémon while it has full health. Sheer Cold, and the other 1H-KO moves included, would take it down to 1 HP. Focus Band is just random chance that it will hold against an attack, including the 1H-KO moves again. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 21:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== Leftovers under sleeping Snorlax in FR/LG. ==

Do you need to find this before the Snorlax wakes up?

I've also heard of items being under certain key people in the game, but I've never found them in FR or LG. And I'm an [[Itemfinder]] fiend, running it nearly constantly. [[User:Machinedramon|Machinedramon]] 19:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

If you have 2 exp.shares in your party do they get 1/3 of the exp or do they both get 1/2?

:If two Pokémon are holding Exp. Shares, the experience is divided in thirds, then distributed 1/3 to one holder, 1/3 to the other, and the remaining 1/3 is distributed among whoever battled.

::It appears that the Exp. Sharers get half the exp and the battlers get the other half, or at least in Diamond. [[User:Salix|Salix]] 03:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Transform''' (Japanese: '''へんしん''' ''Transformation'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Transform changes the user's current type(s), current stats, current stat levels, current move(s), current species, current cry, and current catch rate to that of the target's.

Each move copied by Transform will have 5 PP. With this in mind, if a Ditto encounters another Ditto in this game, both Dittos will continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and making the battle seemingly endless.

Transform does not copy the target's [[status ailment]]s, level, current or maximum {{stat|HP}}, base experience, palette colors, or the generic minimize image. The current stat changes due to Transform will be ignored by [[critical hit]]s, because critical hits are based upon the Pokémon's original stats. Transform affects the user and not the target, so it is not affected by modification to the {{stat|Accuracy}} stat and {{stat|Evasion}} stat. However, Transform cannot be used on a target that is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

In-game, if a wild Pokémon uses Transform and is subsequently caught, it will become a {{p|Ditto}}, regardless of what species it originally was. It will then have all the stats and moves of a Ditto, except for its current HP, which will remain unaltered by this change.

In Stadium, Transform will not work if the target's current species is Ditto.

===[[Generation II]]-{{Gen|III}}===
Transform, if used by a [[shiny Pokémon]], will cause the Pokémon species transformed into to appear shiny. Likewise, a normal Pokémon transforming into a shiny target's species will appear as a normal version.

Now, Transform can only be used by the first Pokémon that uses it. If another Pokémon attempts to transform afterwards, the attack will fail.

===Generation IV===
Unlike Generations II and III, the user of the move instead copies the target's alternate coloration. Therefore, if the target is shiny, then the user's transformed state will be shiny as well. If Transform is used on a [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]],
then the Pokémon who used it will Transform into a Spiky-Eared Pichu.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
When transform is used, it merely takes the form of a random Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. But not the moves, leaving the player only the basic attack left to use (unless the Pokémon is Mew or used Transform via {{m|Assist}} or {{m|Sketch}}).

==Learnset==
===[[Generation I]]===
====By [[Level|leveling up]]====
{{Learnlist|Normal}}
{{Moveentry|132|Ditto|1|Normal||--}}

==Oddities==
Because Transform takes on the exact form of the Pokémon transformed into, strange things can occur when a Pokémon uses the move to become another. Specifically, Pokémon with multiple forms cause the transforming Pokémon to behave oddly.

===Gastro Acid===
If the Pokémon that is Transforming has previously had {{m|Gastro Acid}} used on it and then subsequently uses Transform without switching out beforehand, the Pokémon that it transforms into will not regain its ability, and thus will not change forms if the ability of the Pokémon transformed into causes this.

===Origin Forme Giratina===
When a Pokémon transforms into [[Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}}, they will retain this form only briefly, and then will revert to Altered Forme. This is because only Giratina can hold the [[Griseous Orb]], which forces this form outside of the [[Distortion World]]. Note that if the player is able to have a Pokémon that can transform when battling Giratina for the first time in the Distortion World, that Pokémon will be able to retain its transformation into Origin Forme (due to being inside of the Distortion World).

===Arceus===
When a Pokémon transforms into {{p|Arceus}}, it will become Arceus in its Normal form, unless it is holding a [[plate]]. Holding a plate, the transformed Pokémon will at first take Arceus's current form, and then subsequently transform into the alternate form dictated by the plate.

===The Transform paradox===
If {{p|Ditto}} (or another Pokémon with only Transform) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its target, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used.

Due to this, the Pokémon will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This was fixed in recent generations, as Transform now fails if used against a Pokémon that has already transformed.

===PP Restoration===
While transformed, any attempt to use a PP restoring item on the moves acquired during transformation will fail, as you will only be able to choose to restore moves from the Pokémon's original move-set. However, there is one work around. When the PP of one of the moves your Pokémon has while transformed runs out, a held Leppa berry ''will'' restore that move's PP like it normally would.

==Trivia==
* In the German version of the [[Generation II]] games, this move was renamed from ''Wandler'' into ''Verwandler''. The reason for this is unknown. Even though the difference in meaning is minimal, this change was retracted in the following generations.
* If a Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}} on a Pokémon that has just used Transform successfully, it will fail.

The new Bulbapedia theme is great, but there is a slight problem. The logo "Erika's Garden", and the links for Article, Discussion, Edit etc come up on top of the site content, making it virtually impossible to read the first few paragraphs of each article. Is this a minor glitch due to the theme being very new, or is it a problem with my computer/browser? I hope somebody can fix it soon, thanks!

== The new theme ==

The new Bulbapedia theme is great, but there is a slight problem. The logo "Erika's Garden", and the links for Article, Discussion, Edit etc come up on top of the site content, making it virtually impossible to read the first few paragraphs of each article. Is this a minor glitch due to the theme being very new, or is it a problem with my computer/browser? I hope somebody can fix it soon, thanks! [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 12:51, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
:Hm. Apparently the problem occures only in IE, it's perfectly fine on Firefox. Jio will have to take a look at it. In the meanwhile, we strongly suggest you try viewing Bulbapedia in Firefox and not IE, it looks much better there. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 13:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

'''Metronome''' (Japanese: '''ゆびをふる''' ''Wag Finger'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
Metronome randomly selects a [[list of moves|move]] and fully executes the attack. An attack called by Metronome in this way counts as the last move used.

If Metronome successfully calls {{m|Hyper Beam}} or a partial trapping move and has 0 PP before the move fully executes, its PP can roll over in the same manner as the move is called. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled if called via Metronome.

Because Metronome has normal move [[priority]], a move with higher or lower priority may be executed other than when it normally would. For instance, Metronome may cause {{m|Quick Attack}} to be used after a normal priority move or {{m|Vital Throw}} to be used before a normal priority move.

Metronome will not select itself, any move the user knows, or any of the following moves:

==Trivia==
* Metronome can be learned by at least one Pokémon of each [[elemental type]] except the {{type2|Dragon}}.
*Ironically, Chatot cannot learn Metronome, despite having a metronome-shaped tail. Furthermore, wild Chatot may even be holding the item Metronome. This is because the Japanese name for the move is "Wag Finger" and Chatot has no fingers.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
The episode starts with a Galactic grunt being attacked by {{p|Golbat}}. Then, a {{p|Skuntank}} and [[Jupiter]] appeared. The grunt took off his mask, revealing to be [[Looker]]. After Skuntank was about to use {{m|Slash}}, there was an explosion. Then, the screen shows Floaroma Town where Forsythia and her {{p|Roserade}} and {{p|Lotad}} watering flowers. In the [[Pokémon Center]], the gang are watching television, learning that the next Pokémon contest will be held in Asatsuki Town, under a Double Performance. Ash and the gang was on [[Route 205]], then {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} saw something in the flowers. They saw that it was {{MTR}}.

Meowth told them what had happened while Brock heals him with Potion. Team Rocket was walking, feeling hungry, when they saw Hunter J's airship. They chased after it and arrived at a factory, the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. Brock checked on his [[PokéGear]]. Team Rocket climbed a ladder and saw Jupiter and a man. Ash and the gang realized that it is Looker. Then, it shows the things earlier and Skuntank about to use {{m|Slash}}. A {{m|Vine Whip}} stopped its attack. It was James's {{TP|James|Carnivine}}! Skuntank managed to break free and Jupiter commands the Golbat to attack. That was when the explosion occurred. Jupiter's Skuntank attacked Jessie and James while Golbat attacked Meowth. Then, Meowth was blast off. After bandaging Meowth, it went away. Piplup and Pikachu caught up with him but Meowth wants to use {{m|Scratch}} at them. Then, Meowth cried.

Back at the [[Fuego Ironworks]], [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Looker]] was caught inside of a room. Jessie saw something on the floor outside the room. It was Jupiter's Skuntank. It looked away after looking at Jessie. Then, Jessie wants to attack it but as she was about to touch the door, Looker warned her but Jessie was soon shocked by electricity.

==Major events==
* {{an|Dawn}} learns the next {{pkmn|contest}} will be held in [[Asatsuki Town]] and will be held under the [[Double Performance]] rule.

After Jesse was electrocuted by the trap in the cell door, the Skuntank guarding the cell was shown laughing up against a wall identical to that of inside the cell (made of stone). However, in the shot before, it was up against a normal looking, smooth wall.

Wikifixer: /* What if there's was already a stat change before the "Simple" pokemon enters the battle */

Why Speed?? [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 22:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
:Ask Game Freak. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Speed isn't something that directly affects the tide of a battle. Someone can ignore if someone's bulkier looking, or a little more sturdy looking...but it's hard to ignore if someone's speed just picks up randomly Myrmidon 23:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

== What if there's was already a stat change before the "Simple" pokemon enters the battle ==

Say a Scizor is in a battle between a Blissey and the Scizor uses Iron Defense one turn and on the next turn, the Blissey switches out and in come in a Bibarel. Would Scizor's stat stay at +2 or would ir revert back to neutral? {{unsigned|Shadrio}}
:Do you mean {{a|Simple}} or Unaware? This is the page for Unaware. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
::I think they mean ''Unaware''. If I understand it properly Scizor wouldn't revert to normal anyway, it just isn't counted when Bibarel attacks, so if it was a double battle the Iron Defense would still reduce the damage done by the other Pokémon, as well as confusion damage, but not the damage done by a Bibarel with Unaware. I.e. when Bibarel attacks, any of the enemy's stat changes are ignored, but the enemy still retains those stat changes. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ditto (Pokémon)

2009-11-11T04:00:53Z

Wikifixer: /* One Move */

I'm pretty sure Ditto's in the No Egg group. While it can breed with any Pokémon besides those in the No Egg group, it cannot breed with another Ditto, implying that it is, itself, in the No Egg group. -[[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

Ditto is in a special egg group called "DITTO" (you know how the game likes to use all-caps for Pokemon names). This group allows it to breed with anything other than a Pokemon in the "No EGGs" group or the "DITTO" group. This is what allows Ditto to breed with Pikachu or Staryu, but Suicune can't breed with other Pokemon. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

I thought you could breed two Ditto and get another Ditto. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 23:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nope. Stupidly. ~Ketz

Ditto is able to breed with other Pokémon ostensibly because of its ability to transform into other Pokémon. If it was paired with another Ditto, it wouldn't have anything to transform into, and since Ditto are genderless, would therefore have no reproductive organs.

Makes perfect sense to me that two purplish-pink blobs can't mate with each other. --17:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Ozzie

Does that mean that Ditto can breed with Lucario?[[User:Optimus35|Optimus35]] 03:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:Anything but legendaries means anything but legendaries. Lucario isn't legendary. Therefore, ''of course''. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:57, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Ditto in the [[Anime]] could morph into any other pokemonn but keeps it size in some cases , but in the TCG it keeps its beaded eyes , that just makes wonder , can the [[Pokémon]] that ditto morphs to in the TCG be exceptions or special forms?--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 12:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Though worthless to do, can't u breed 2 Dittos and get another Ditto?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 15:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

:No. You cannot breed a Ditto with a Ditto. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Really... interesting--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 18:09, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

It's confusing, but it makes vague sense since Ditto has no gender. Remember, non-gendered Pokémon can't be bred, even with Ditto...it's "Unknown"-gendered Pokémon (Magnemite etc.) that can. Ditto has a unique egg type as well, we assume it breeds with everything except itself and None. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 00:07, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

While not made true in the games or implied in other sources: Considering its physical structure, does anyone else think that Ditto reproduces asexually? -- [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 18:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:It probably does, but since no official sources imply or otherwise indicate this, it doesn't belong in the article. It's pure speculation, and it's just as plausible that a fixed number of Ditto were created by Arceus at the beginning or time, and they lie dormant until bothered in the tall grasses. Or maybe Dittos are actually single cells from Mew's body that have grown much larger. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 18:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::That... actually makes perfect sense. It would explain why the both of them can use Transform while no other pokemon can...[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 00:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Sould it be noted that, in all sprites exept Gen. 3 Ditto's color is purple, but in its Gen. 3 sprite it's pink ? [[User:ShinyPikachu|ryan]] 15:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

no cos to me it looks pink all time and in Yellow it Yellowy-green.[[User:GoldsWigglytuff|GoldsWigglytuff]] 10:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

== Buggy Moves ==
In my Pokemon Diamond game, I was using Ditto to catch Pokemon. After using transform on and catching a Primape, combat ended with Ditto still looking like Primape (duh). After that I got into another wild battle and Ditto was Ditto again, but with Primape's moveset. I am making an assumption that you can potentially make Ditto a permanent clone move-wise this way, anyone want to experiment? [[User:Crenel|Crenel]] 21:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

never happed to me and my ditto, if was a bug in your game then you are lucky.
and what do mean experiment? I can experiment.[[User:GoldsWigglytuff|GoldsWigglytuff]]
:Wha? I've heard of this happening... was this a Japanese game or the international release? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
::Sorry for the stupidly late reply, I don't visit here much (obviously). Anyway, the description I left above is still accurate. It has been traded between several players, gained over 30 levels in daycare, gone back and forth over Wi-fi, and been used in many battles since I originally left this message, yet it still knows the Primeape's moves. It has not effected or hampered my breeding at all, either. In fact, I bred that same Primeape with the Ditto to get a Mankey later on.
::I own the US version of Pokemon Diamond (purchased at my local Gamestop).
::The Primeape in question was caught with an Ultra Ball and caught on Route 225 (of course) if anyone wants to experiment with this. Basically, go into any battle with your Ditto, use transform, and then catch the Pokemon you transformed into while Ditto is still your active Pokemon. Then, check Ditto's moves to see if they have changed. If they haven't, try it a few more times and see if it works. Also, I am pretty sure my Ditto was holding Quick Powder at the time as well.
::Ditto right now knows whatever moves a level 52 Primeape knows, which off the top of my head are Cross Chop, Rage, Swagger, and Thrash. [[User:Crenel|Crenel]] 07:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

:I have a question, does this only apply with two ditto, because mew can transform and can learn other moves.

==Shiny Ditto Glitch==
What the F...lareon happened to the glitch to get a shiny ditto in G/S using R/B, if no one knows what I'm talking about here's how (altough it's old and I think you all know):

1 Capture the shiny Gyarados in G/S and ransfer it to R/B
2 Teach Gyarados Mimic and erase all his other moves
3 Battle a wild Ditto with the Gyarados, mimic him and transform a few turns while it transforms
4 Capture the Ditto and transfer it to G/S it will be shiny

Notes: I'm not sure if it's a requirement but all of the times I used the Pokémon Stadium 2 (For both transfer and Doduo GB).

Until Platinum, it was also true of Beldum. Smeargle also only learns one move, though it learns it up to 10 times. [[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 04:00, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Ditto can (or at least could) permanently learn other moves ==

I had to create an account just to point this out as I was very surprised not to already see it in the article. I remember doing this with my friends back with gold/silver (don't know if it works in further generations). Ditto can permanently learn ANY move. When I used my ditto on pokemon stadium, it listed his moves as red, indicating that ditto shouldn't have those moves and that it's an exploit, but I wouldn't think that would stop it from being noted. Here's how, in case you pokenuts don't already know (which you probably do):

Take a smeargle. Put it up against a pokemon with the move you want ditto to learn. Use sketch on the move so smeargle permanently learns it. Level smeargle enough so he learns sketch again. Make sure sketch is not in the first slot, because otherwise ditto will lose the ability to transform. (doens't stop the trick from working, just stops you from doing it again). Link up your cartidge with the smeargle on it (and in your party) to the cart with the ditto on it. This "records" the trainer's smeargle on the "ditto cart", so that the ditto can battle the smeargle. Make them battle. Have ditto use transform. When smeargle uses the move you want ditto to learn, use the copied sketch. Poof. Ditto permanently retains whatever move you want.

I had a ditto with horn drill, fissure, guillotine, and lock-on, which always came as a shock to opponents. (though not much of a challenge as he's so weak). Does this exploit belong in the article? Probably never going to post again, [[User:Farsight001|Farsight001]] 13:38, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
:It's under glitches. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 14:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
::The {{m|Sketch}} page states that it cannot be used when transformed, therefore this should not work. Does that statement there concern only Gen III and IV? If it does, it should be listed under Gen III and not directly under the Effect header.

==Problem==
In the trivia section, on the point about Pokéthlon stats, you've written it's instead of its. {{unsigned|Mattiuscn}}
:Yeah. You can fix that in a month. Right now we're trying not to touch the pages too much. Makes it easier to fix things technologically later down the track. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Haze (move)

2009-08-12T17:52:27Z

Wikifixer:

Based on my experience in Generation IV, Haze does ''not'' remove confusion, the stat cut from Paralysis, or the effect of Leech Seed. Nor does it remove major status ailments from either battler. I suspect that its only effect in Generation IV is to remove actual stat changes, such as those caused by Growl or Screech. Someone (maybe I) should confirm this. It should also be checked when this change in functionality took place. Does anyone know how Haze worked in Gen III? [[User:Yenreb|Yenreb]] 22:44, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
* I'm pretty sure Haze just doesn't affect the user for this. In a double battle, a paralyzed ally will regain its speed, just not healed from the actual paralysis. Not sure about the effect it has on Burn though. If I remember, I'll check again on the paralysis thing and update. --[[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 17:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* This move's Japanese name is a reference to a ninja technique commonly known in English as shadow clone. Bunshin can mean "one's other self" or clone or duplicate. With kage meaning shadow, you get shadow clone. It's a very common technique in ninja works, such as anime, manga, and novels.

'''Destiny Bond''' (Japanese: '''みちづれ''' ''Fellow Travelers'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
When Destiny Bond is used, if the user faints as the direct result of an attack, the Pokémon that landed the knockout hit also faints. A Pokémon defeated by this move will faint before the Pokémon which used Destiny Bond. This move's effect only works if the user faints before making another move. If it faints later than that (unless it used this move again), this move's effect will not happen. Destiny Bond does not activate for damage that occurs at the end of the turn, including damage from {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Future Sight}}. In a double battle, both opponents are targeted, but only the one that knocks the user out is affected.

'''Tower Tycoon Palmer''' (Japanese: '''タワータイクーンクロツグ''' ''Tower Tycoon Kurotsugu'') is the leader of the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and the Frontier Brain of the same facility in {{game|Platinum}}. He is {{ga|Pearl}}'s father. He is very similar to his son in look and character, as he's always in a rush. He is probably a good friend of the unknown father of the player character. Just like the {{player}} and Pearl did, he once went to a lake with the player's father, got his [[starter Pokémon]] there, and was attacked by [[wild Pokémon]].

===Quotes===
====First battle====
Before the battle: 
''"Hi! My name's Palmer. I remember you from when you were in [[Twinleaf Town|Twinleaf]], <{{player}}>. You were always playing with my son {{ga|Pearl|<name>}}, right? You’ve grown up since then, and most impressively, too! So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you’ve built with your Pokémon. Show me the skill you've acquired as a Trainer!"

After the battle: 
''"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."

''"Bravo! One day, I imagine my son will come challenge me just as you have. That’s something I look forward to a great deal. You will become even more skilled the very same way your father did. Keep battling Trainers from around the world and keep growing greater in stature!"

====Second battle====
Before the battle: 
''"So, you've come this so far! As the Tower Tycoon, I'll have to give you my best effort. That's how the best Trainers show respect to each other. By Battling all out as dedicated students of Pokémon!"

After the battle: 
''"Losing to an outstanding Trainer like you... I can live with that."

''"Bravo! I feel inspired in my heart! It brings back a memory of that day long ago... I went out to the lake with your father that day... We were attacked by a wild Pokémon. We fended it off, but I don't recall how. It was that desperate. That was my first step as a Trainer. I wonder if the professor is doing well? ...That's enough reminiscing. My young friend, the world and your future hold infinite promise. Go on, you can be all that you desire! There is no limit to where you can go!"

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Palmer is described as a very skilled {{pkmn|trainer}} who passed some of his abilities on to his son, {{special|Pearl}}. However, he left Twinleaf Town a few years before Pearl's journey began and even Pearl does not know Palmer's current location.


==Trivia==
* Palmer is the only trainer to still be animated in Platinum even in his appearance at the end of the battle (his hair and coattails blow in the "wind").
* Palmer's battle music in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} is the same as [[Cynthia]]'s battle theme. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it changes to match the other four [[Frontier Brains]].
* Palmer's name is similar to his son's default name Pearl, containing the same letters, but with an additional 'm'.
* Similarly, Palmer's Japanese name is a type of palm from Asia, whereas Jun can mean Bamboo Shoot, which also is related to an Asian tree.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.

Type-enhancing item

2009-03-17T22:53:34Z

Wikifixer: moved Griseous Orb for alphabetical sorting's sake

A '''type-enhancing item''', when [[held item|held]], enhances the potency of attacks whose type corresponds to the item. In [[Generation IV]], these items boost attacks by 20%; in previous generations, they only boost attacks by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a {{t|Water}}-[[type]] attack, the power of the Water-type attack will be increased by 20%.

If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay {{PDollar}}50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay {{PDollar}}4,900, and the Adamant/Lustrous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer {{PDollar}}5,000.

In [[Generation II]], several of these items can only be obtained from the [[Week Siblings]].

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a plate. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as there is no plate which boosts the power of Normal-type moves.

==Trivia==
* In Generation II, there was one item that would power up each type, with the exception of the {{type2|Normal}}, which had the Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow. In Generation IV, this is reversed, with each type powered up by one of the items as well as by a plate. The Normal-type is the exception here, as well, as there is no plate which boosts the power of Normal-type moves.

{{incomplete}}
[[Image:RegionsMoviesMap.jpg|thumb|500px|A map of the known Pokémon world.]]
The '''Pokémon world''' is the main planet for the [[Pokémon]] [[Canon|franchise]], set in the [[Pokémon universe]]. It bears some striking similarities with the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], certainly deriving inspiration from it, but many factors set it apart as a different place from our own world.

==History==
{{main|History of the Pokémon world}}

It is said in many [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh legends]] that the universe, along with the Pokémon world was created by a single [[Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and possibly {{p|Giratina}} and gives Dialga and Palkia the abilities to control time and space. Giratina vanishes into [[Distortion World|another dimension]]. Then, during very early formation of the world, possibly sooner, Arceus creates {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, things that are in all modern humans and Pokémon. They dive to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], respectively, dubbing the term "the lake trio". Around this time, {{p|Mew}} came into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist and exist in the future.
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg‎|left|thumb|220px|{{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s great battle.]]
Long after, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, from magma, {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]]. Groudon and Kyogre then proceed to create landmass and fill the sea, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Earth begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Groudon and Kyogre to retreat to special caverns, where they rest. The Red and Blue Orbs are created to prevent the reawakening of Groudon and Kyogre, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, Mew may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers. Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming various [[region]]s. The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in lava. Arceus creates the Adamant, Lustrous and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep.
[[Image:Unreleased_Unown.jpg|thumb|right|Ancient {{p|Unown}} seen in many different languages and ages.]]
Many years after, the prehistoric era begins as well as the first prehistoric Pokémon come to being. Scientists have proven that prehistoric Pokémon roamed the land, as [[Fossil|fossils]] and other archaeological remains have been found to contain the DNA of Pokémon. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. Evolution has come, separating human and Pokémon, to create the first humans.

During the Stone, Ice and Iron ages, the [[legendary golems]] are created, and used as keys to seal away {{p|Regigigas}} in [[Snowpoint Temple]]. {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are hidden in the Hoenn region.
[[Image:BrassTower.png‎|[[Brass Tower]] before the events of the fire.|thumb|left]]
1500 years before modern times, the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. At this point the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates and becomes weaker.

In recent history, 700 years before modern times, [[Tin Tower]] and [[Brass Tower]] were constructed. These two nine-tier towers were built opposite each other in Ecruteak City. The towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people. The view from the top of the towers was said to be 'magnificent'. In the west was [[Brass Tower]], which was said to awaken Pokémon and in the east was Tin Tower, where Pokémon were said to rest. At the time, {{p|Lugia|an immense silver-colored Pokémon}}, was said to make its roost atop the [[Brass Tower]], while its counterpart, the glorious rainbow-colored Ho-Oh was said to rest at Tin Tower. However, around 150 years before the games, a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for 3 days. Lugia and Ho-Oh escaped to the skies unharmed. A sudden downpour put an end to the blaze. At around this time, the first [[Pokémon League]] competitions started to take place. In the 1990s, the first Pokémon created by scientific engineering, {{p|Porygon}}, is created.
[[Image:Dragontrio.PNG|thumb|right|230px|{{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} on [[Spear Pillar]].]]
In contemporary history, some years prior to the date, {{p|Mewtwo}} is cloned from {{p|Mew}}, and later escapes and destroys [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Pokémon Mansion]]. Soon after, an eruption of volcano on [[Cinnabar Island]] causes destruction of areas on the island. Along with that, the leaders of Teams [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] and [[Team Magma|Magma]] reawaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} and they continue their great battle, only to get stopped again by {{p|Rayquaza}}. Groudon and Kyogre retreat to the region of [[Fiore]] to rest after their battle.

In modern history, the [[Sinnoh]] region become unusually colder, due to the strange circumstances coming across the region. The [[Dragon trio|legendary titans]] of Sinnoh are also awoken by a villainous team; [[Team Galactic]] use a [[Red Chain]] forged from the [[lake trio]] to summon {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}. Their efforts are halted due to interference from the {{player}}. At this time, a rip in time-space has occurred, opening a threshold to the [[Distortion World]]. Giratina escapes into its dimension along with [[Cyrus]], the [[Team Galactic]] leader. The entrance to the Torn World closes returning the [[Sinnoh]] region back to normal.

==Culture==
Culturally, the many depictions of the world all reflect a popular fascination with Pokémon and their interactions with humans, including [[Captured Pokémon|catching]] them, {{pkmn|training}} them, [[Pokémon battle|battling]] them, [[Pokémon breeding|raising]] them, keeping them as pets, studying them, and utilizing their varied skills. Several [[Sinnoh myths|myths]] discuss the relationship between humans and Pokémon as a very close one, and one folk tale even says that there was a time when humans and Pokémon were considered one and the same.

The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from our own, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around [[Legendary Pokémon]], so it plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen, however. Also, Brock made reference to the story of Noah featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.

However, there exist [[Villainous teams|many individuals that wish to harness Pokémon for their own nefarious deeds]]. Some of these people are simply do so for material gain while others hold misguided ideals to help the world. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. {{wp|Firearms}} and other weapons exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are.

==Pokémon==
[[image:Pokemon-breeder.PNG|thumb|right|210px|People and Pokémon working together.]]
Pokémon are living creatures that inhabit the Pokémon world that live alongside humans. Pokémon have been seen within this world as being both supplements and replacements for animals and plants that exist within the real world. Most people respect Pokémon and treat them kindly, yet there exist people who take advantage of them and exploit their abilities. Pokémon have feelings and can also understand the human language to some extent. Recreations of natural ecosystems are done with Pokémon. While some Pokémon have abilities that are normal or only slightly distorted from reality, many more Pokémon have abilities that are completely original and have no counterparts within the real world. Other Pokémon are based off of [[Legendary Pokémon|legends that exist in our world]] such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} being based off of a {{wp|phoenix}}.

===Evolution===
In a [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh myth]], it is said that Pokémon and people were originally the same species. Over time, some of these creatures split apart from from the rest and became humans. This theory has been explored many times throughout the Pokémon world, but not proven. {{p|Mew}} is said to be the ancestor of all life: it {{wp|evolution|evolved}} into the other Pokémon. The first human recording was during the Stone Age, millions of years before the modern era. Biological taxonomies of cellular and genetic structure have revealed that Pokémon are all actually a single species of life form and that the individual differences between each creature are actually subspecies. This can also explain why Pokémon can variously interbreed with each other. This explores the myth of evolution in the Pokémon world and makes a reference to evolution of animals and humans in the real world.

In modern times, Pokémon commonly undergo a process called [[evolution]]. During the course of a Pokémon's development, under certain circumstances specific to that Pokémon's species, it may become a different Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different and usually more powerful [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[Elemental types|type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Most Pokémon will undergo this process.

Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to actual evolution. The Pokémon whose evolution is closest to the real-world definition of evolution is {{p|Burmy}}, who takes on a different appearance depending on the environment.

===Reproduction===
:''Main article: [[Pokémon breeding]]''
Nearly every Pokémon undergoes some form of reproduction. Fully developed, or Pokémon that passed their [[Baby Pokémon|baby form]] can breed with Pokémon of the same [[egg group]]. Pokémon that have no genders can only breed with {{p|Ditto}}; [[baby Pokémon]] and [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot breed at all, with the exception of {{p|Manaphy}}. Like real animals, Pokémon have genders which can sometimes be determined by markings and gender-differences. Usually, a trainer's Pokémon will breed in a [[Pokémon Daycare]]. It is unknown how a Pokémon reproduces, as no one has seen a Pokémon reproduce. Based on this, it is safe to assume that they only reproduce when left alone.
[[Image:SugimoriEggs.png|thumb|225px|left|Eggs of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Elekid}}.]]
All Pokémon able to breed lay [[egg]]s. Though, nobody has actually seen a Pokémon lay an egg, they apparently appear by the Pokémon. Pokémon usually lay one egg at a time, sometimes, in unusual occasions, lay various eggs at a time. Pokémon eggs are similar to birds' eggs, as they have a hard outer shell that protects the growing, undeveloped Pokémon inside. An egg's shell usually has a pattern reflecting the appearance of the Pokémon inside making each Pokémon egg unique from one another. Pokémon, like animals, are rather protective of their eggs. They sometimes nest them, but usually keep them close to themselves. The growing Pokémon incubates inside its egg until the time come for the Pokémon to hatch. The time it takes for a Pokémon to hatch varies from each Pokémon species and the type of egg.

Some Pokémon species have a [[Baby Pokémon|baby form]] when they hatch from their eggs. Once in their adult stages, these Pokémon are able to reproduce and continue the cycle of reproduction. Most baby Pokémon can only hatch as a baby Pokémon. However, there are some exceptions. Some Pokémon hatch into a more advanced form most of the time, but can also hatch into a baby form when [[incense|conditions]] are right.

===Pokémon as food===
It is presumed that some Pokémon eat others, and humans have made references to occasionally eating Pokémon as well. This is encountered mostly with fish Pokémon and cattle based Pokémon such as {{p|Miltank}}. For example, [[Mom]]'s [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]] Volcano Burgers were mentioned, and eating Pokémon was also mentioned in many [[Sinnoh myths]], saying Pokémon will be born again if people "Pick clean the bones of Pokémon caught in the sea or stream".

Along with that, Pokémon have been seen to eat each other. As such, wild Pokémon are portrayed to eat one another, in a very animal-like prey-predator system; for example, when they hunt, {{p|Pidgeot}} fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}, while in other cases, {{p|Golbat}} drinks the blood of its enemies, not just the 'energy' it uses when referring to {{m|Leech Life}}. {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}} have been seen to suck the life force from its prey.

===Classification===
Pokémon have been classified and counted by humans into a numerical system, along with being grouped into a [[Elemental type|elementary type]] system. [[Bill]] and [[Professor Oak]] have developed the first Pokémon numerical system, that allowed Pokémon data to be stored neatly into a [[Pokédex]]. Initially when the couple started, there were 151 species of Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Mew}}). Then three years later, [[Professor Oak]] worked with [[Professor Elm]] to classify 100 more newly discovered Pokémon, making the number grow to 251 ({{p|Chikorita}} to {{p|Celebi}}). Then, a few more years later, [[Professor Birch]] brought another 135 species ({{p|Treecko}} to {{p|Deoxys}}) to the Pokémon world, bringing the total to 386. The most recent additions, [[Professor Oak]] along with his good friend, [[Professor Rowan]] introduced 107 new species ({{p|Turtwig}} to {{p|Arceus}}), bringing the overall total to 493.

In addition, humans have classified Pokémon into different [[Elemental type|elementary type]]s depending on its strengths, weaknesses, and [[move]]s. Each elemental type has three properties: which types of Pokémon it is effective against, which types of Pokémon it is less effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against. In total, there are 17 types. A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{type2|Fire}}, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{type2|Grass}} and a {{type2|Poison}}.

==Geography and nature==
[[Image:PokemonWorldAnime.jpg|thumb|An orbital view of the Pokémon world, seen in the anime.]]
The Pokémon world looks and acts like the real world in terms of geography. Each have landforms, oceans of water and temperatures to support life meaning that the Pokémon world is about the same size and same distances from the sun as the real world. However, if the Pokémon world is ''not'' Earth, it must be similar, having a similar {{wp|moon}}, similar climates, and so on, which explains the similar tides. Many different theories exist as to exactly how the Pokémon world relates to our own.

Humans and nature in the Pokémon world are linked to each other, as many towns are built around the natural environment. A point of interest, unlike the real world is that peoples links with the nature are strong and they never try to effect the natural environment, with the exception of some [[villainous teams]]. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} can affect and shape nature causing unexplainable droughts, storms and effect the continent plates causing earthquakes.

===Structure===
The Pokémon world is split into several regions, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] among them. These regions are large landforms much like continents in the real world, that support a large political [[region]]. Off these regions are islands that are not part of any region. These islands are grouped together to create one small region like the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] and the [[Sevii Islands]]. Though there are many similarities between them, there are some major differences between the regions, such as what Pokémon are located there and what legends there are waiting to be uncovered. Visitors from another region quickly realize that the region they are visiting is far from their home, both in the way of the climate, and in the culture of the people there. The regions are generally thought to be part of a larger country because of the term [[National Dex]], but they are all perhaps part of a {{wp|world nation}}. There are only four official regions, yet others such as [[Orre]] and [[Fiore]] have been introduced in other games. Several small kingdoms have been introduced in the {{pkmn|anime}} as well, most of which keep secluded in remote or difficult to reach areas.

[[Image:Locations.PNG|thumb|left|175px|Regions in relation to {{wp|Japan}}.]]
The geography of the regions are strikingly [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|similar]] to {{wp|Japan}}, but in a much larger scale, as seen in [[Pokémon Heroes|the fifth movie]] (the only time when the entire planet is clearly shown). The [[wp:Kanto region|Kantō region]] of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the Pokémon world, it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern [[wp:Chubu region|Chūbu]]. In Japan, the Kanto region is often contrasted with {{wp|Kansai}}, which is like Johto, to the west. However, Johto is geographically more similar to the combined region of Kansai and western {{wp|Chubu}}. Hoenn is based on the southernmost parts of Japan - [[wp:Kyushu|Kyūshū]] and [[wp:Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa]] - with the latter highly condensed. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula. It is based on the northernmost major island of Japan, {{wp|Hokkaido}}, part of {{wp|Sakhalin}} and {{wp|Kunashir Island}}. Regardless, the {{pkmn|games}} have referenced real places on Earth, such as {{wp|South America}}, {{wp|Australia}}, {{wp|China}}, {{wp|Antarctic}}, the {{wp|United States}}, and the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} and the anime and related products have referenced places such as {{wp|Hollywood, California}}, {{wp|Minnesota}}, {{wp|England}}, and {{wp|Paris, France}}.

===Climate===
[[Image:Diamond Dust.gif|thumb|right|Diamond dust twinkles in [[Snowpoint City]].]]
Most regions have different climates. Regions and islands like the [[Hoenn]] and the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] lower down in the Pokémon world have a warmer climate than northerly regions, possibly due to an {{wp|equator}}, much like on {{wp|earth}} in the real world. It gets so hot in Hoenn that there is a desert with a raging sandstorm. Meanwhile, the [[Sinnoh]] region is cooler than other regions, and becoming colder due to climate change in the region. It is snowing constantly in the northern area of the region. Some Pokémon such as {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}} can affect climate and weather.

Weather conditions still apply in the Pokémon world, and as clouds and [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]] still exist, the {{wp|water cycle}} must exist. Many weather conditions that are appear on the earth are also in the Pokémon world, such as [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]], [[Weather conditions#Hailstorm|hailstorms]], [[Weather conditions#On the field#Snow/Hail|snow]], [[Weather conditions#Fog|fog]] and [[Weather conditions#Sandstorm|sandstorms]]. Given that plants and trees seem to grow in a normal manner, it can be reasonably assumed that the other major cycles, such as the {{wp|Carbon cycle}} and the {{wp|Nitrogen cycle}}, exist as well.

===Environment===
The natural environment in the Pokémon world is much similar to the real earth's environment. Areas with a high density of trees make up forests, landscapes that receive very little precipitation create deserts, while loose broken-up particles of rock make large coastal beaches attracting people and Pokémon alike. The [[Hoenn]] and the [[Sinnoh]] regions boast many dramatic environments from rainforests to deserts.

[[image:Montecorona13jun08.gif‎|thumb|left|300px|[[Mt. Coronet]], the tallest mountain in the Pokémon world, with the [[Distortion World]] seen above.]]
The Pokémon world is mainly green and lush, based on factors such as plant structures including trees, shrubs, and grasses. Grass is usually uncontrolled and grows tall making [[tall grass|tall grass patches]] that form prime habitats for [[wild Pokémon]]. There are also large mountainous areas that tower above low lying land areas. The largest mountain range is [[Mt. Coronet]], which stretches from the top to the bottom of Sinnoh, splitting the whole region in two. Man-made and natural occurrences form caves in the mountainsides that are able to be explored or passed through to get to other cities. Many natural phenomenons appear in the Pokémon world such as snowing ash that covers the area is caused by the nearby volcano that smokes and rains down on the area.

Humans and nature in the Pokémon world are linked to each other, as many towns are built around its environment and they never try to effect the natural environment. [[Pacifidlog Town]], for example, is built on wooden rafts and logs that float on top of a {{p|Corsola}} colony, while [[Sootopolis City]] is built in the crater of a hollowed, erupted volcano. An ecosystem is formed when all plants, Pokémon and people in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical factors of the environment. It is said that Pokémon are more in tune with nature than humans.

==Physics and technology==
[[Image:Gold4.png|thumb|right|150px|A Time Capsule, used to teleport Pokémon back in time.]]
Science and technology in the Pokémon world is more advanced than the real world. Technological advances have evolved the Pokémon world, scientists have created way to [[Pokémon storage system|storage Pokémon on computers]], [[Global Trade Station|send Pokémon around the world]], [[Time Capsule|send Pokémon back in time]] and [[fossil|clone fossils to create prehistoric Pokémon]], yet people's lives in the games are simple and very natural. Scientific achievements such as {{wp|cloning}} and [[Poké Ball|energy conversion]] mingle with magical elements such as spontaneous [[evolution]] and [[Time flower|flowers]] that can replay a short time sequence, giving one the sense that the Pokémon world is very different from our own. The state of technology conceivably places the timeframe we see in either the present day, or perhaps in the future, but this is merely speculative. Scientists at the [[Devon Corporation]] and other companies are still working on more advanced and slightly impossible inventions like a Pokémon Dream Projector that makes a visual projection of Pokémon dreams, Pokémon Speaker that allows communication with Pokémon and Pokémon Transformator that turns people into Pokémon. {{wp|Antigravity}} machines exist alongside basic means of travel such as bicycles and trucks.

One of the most advanced and commonly used technology used in the Pokémon World is the [[Poké Ball]] which transfers a Pokémon into energy so it can be contained in the small ball. In a {{pkmn|battle}}, once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the Trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. Poké Balls originated from [[apricorn]]s, which is a non-synthetic Poké Ball. Old apricorn Poké Balls were able to be unscrewed at the disproportionate top and manually be released, to let the Pokémon out. There are now several different kinds of Poké Balls, each for different occasions, including the infamous Master Ball which is able to capture a wild Pokémon without failure.

[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|left|A Poké Ball, the most common technology used in Pokémon.]]
Despite the amount of advanced technology available, comparatively few [[Transportation in Pokémon|modes of transportation]] are seen. This may be because the world is often shown through the eyes of a [[Pokémon Trainer]], who usually travel on foot for a variety of practical reasons such as cost and finding [[wild Pokémon]]. Or maybe some transportation such as cars and trucks are harmful to the natural environment and Pokémon by the poisonous pollution from the vehicles. The most common transportation used to get to other regions or islands is by sailing by boat or ship, as it is quick and easy to get to other lands, while most regions have their own ferry. Also, people can use Pokémon as a mode of transport, such as flying or {{m|Surf|swimming}}. They seem, at least in the games however, to be bound to the region they are currently in, possibly due to stamina reasons.

There are moments where the physics of the Pokémon world are stretched to [[anime physics|unrealistic degrees]], but this is usually for dramatic or comedic purposes. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and {{wp|hammerspace}}. A special subset is Team Rocket. They always manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air. However, people standing five feet away will not even be moved, and Team Rocket never gets seriously hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person.

==Trivia==
* The existence of foreign Pokédex entries, different {{p|Unown}} markings, and fourth-generation characters like the [[Meister]] and [[Fantina]] might lead to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world.
* Regular animals have been seen in some of the older media while regular plants are still seen daily. There is a possibility that both animals and Pokémon exist with in this world in a complicated ecosystem. This may be the case since humans clearly exist (as well as real world trees and plant life), so it is thought that other animals might as well exist too.

Talk:Spiky-eared Pichu

2009-03-16T05:06:41Z

Wikifixer:

I do wonder. Should we have the page at Gizamimi Pichu, since that's the "official" name used in the calendars and such? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
:Probably. Is it ever 'officially' called ''Notched-ear Pichu''??? --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 21:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
---This is true but I think it would make the page impossible to find. Most people probably know it as Notched-Ear Pichu as opposed to Gizamimi Pichu. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:That's why redirects were created. (I knew they would come to good use sometime!!!) --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 01:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
::True. Perhaps this page should say "Notched-Ear Pichu, known in official materials as Gizamimi Pichu..."? --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 00:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

== Voice actor ==

It needs to be Shōko Nakagawa with the accent mark. "Shoko Nakagawa" links to a nonexistant page. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:Not any more it doesn't. But still a fix would be nice oh kind admins. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 01:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== Ability ==

When was the ability show/confirmed? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2?]] 00:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
:I dunno either. But I guess it's from the Japanese movie site. I can't ready Japanese. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 11:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
::Can we get somebody who CAN read Japanese check the site? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2?]] 02:12, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::: Does Pichu have any other ability I'm not aware of. I find it odd that when an anime Pokemon only has one ability, its not confirmed, I realize that a Pokemon can have 2 abilities, but I don't buy that since it goes along the gender differences. A certain Pokemon had Ability A prior to Generation X. And there's no conflicting information (albeit speculative) that a Pokemon in the anime can't have both abilities, like in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 02:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::::No, it doesn't have another ability in the games, but why can't the anime give it a different one? A new anime-exclusive one? Why can't the anime say only certain Pokémon have an ability, and others don't? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Is teh Pedia laggin 4 u 2?]] 11:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::That's the reason why we don't add Blaze as Ash's Charizard's ability, despite being the only ability Fire starters can have. It has yet to be shown or confirmed by somebody. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 11:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:Exactly; that's why I think we should
a) Confirm Pichu's ability with a source
b) Remove it. {{unsigned|The Dark Fiddler}} 11:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

== Shiny ==
::It is confirmed that little Notchie is shiny, though. *Leads all to Bulbanews*--'''[[User:Prmatt11|''Mew'']] [[User talk:Prmatt11|a.k.a.]] [[Special:Contributions/Prmatt11|Prmatt11]]''' at 23:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::No, it's not Shiny. The Event Pichu is shiny. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 23:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Of which is directly based off of Notchie.--'''[[User:Prmatt11|''Mew'']] [[User talk:Prmatt11|a.k.a.]] [[Special:Contributions/Prmatt11|Prmatt11]]''' at 23:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::Just because the event Pichu is shiny doesn't mean that the Pichu itself is. '''~ overgrown[[User:Sol|s]][[User talk:Sol|o]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|l]]''' 23:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::: No the only reason why the event Pichu is shiny is because there's no ear-notched Pichu programmed into the game. It being shiny was the only thing they could've done to make it stand out compared to other Pichu's. Notched Ear Pichu however is still normal. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 23:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Left vs. Right ==
In the article, it says it's her right ear that is notched, but that is her left ear.

'''Recycle''' (Japanese: '''リサイクル''' ''Recycle'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Recycle allows the user to regain a single-use [[held item]], such as a [[Berry]], once it has been consumed, as many times as you'd like. Any requirements needed to activate the item are still required once the item has been recycled. Recycle can recover items consumed by {{m|Bug Bite}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, and {{m|Pluck}}, but not items lost by {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Knock Off}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, {{m|Thief}}, or {{m|Trick}}.

'''Last Resort''' (Japanese: '''とっておき''' ''The Best'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} move introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
Last Resort inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. However, it cannot be used until all other moves that the user knows have been fully executed, at least once, during the battle.

This 'counter' resets if the user switches out, faints, or the battle ends. Last Resort will fail if it is the only move the user knows.

== Signature Move? ==

Is this Cressilia's signature move? [[User:Tesh|Tesh]]
:I'd guess so. It's the only monster that learns it.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 23:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

== CAN be Sketched ==
Just so you guys know, it is possible to Sketch this move. Enter a double battle. Smeargle and Cresselia must be the ONLY Pokemon in your party. Have Cresselia use Lunar Dance. It will fail. Then have Smeargle use Sketch on Cresselia, and it will learn Lunar Dance. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 13:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
:That's the exception for ALL signature moves (other than {{m|Chatter}}, due to mike limitations)... [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

== Revive Pokémon? ==
Can Lunar Dance revive Pokémon? I don't think it can. Because I saw a Smogon D/P RMT (see
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34521
for the RMT that had Cresselia and Lunar Dance) that said "(Cresselia)...Lunar Dances if {{p|Rhyperior}} needs another shot." I don't think that means once Rhyperior faints. And btw, I am Pika25 on Smogon forums.[[User:Pikachu25|Pikachu25]] 05:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

:No, Lunar Dance cannot revive already K.O.d Pokemon.--[[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 21:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

'''Brock's Happiny''' (Japanese: '''タケシのピンプク''' ''Takeshi's Pinpuku'') is a [[Pokémon]] that [[Brock]] hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. She is the second [[baby Pokémon]] Brock has [[captured Pokémon|caught]], after {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and the second egg he took care of after {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. She is the overall tenth Pokémon Brock has ever caught. Her Japanese voice actress is 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]].

==History==
[[Image:Happiny egg.PNG|Happiny's egg.|thumb|left]]
Brock won Happiny's {{pkmn|egg}} in a Pokémon cosplay contest in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go]]'' by entering his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} dressed up as a {{p|Politoed}}. He was overjoyed to take care of the egg, as he showed in [[DP034|the next episode]] when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.

In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', while traveling on [[Route 206|Cycling Road]], the egg began to glow. After taking it to a [[Pokémon Center]] and receiving assistance from [[Nurse Joy]], the egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an egg-like shape for her. [[Team Rocket]] snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually Happiny was returned to Brock and received her "egg." Immediately after, she offered it back to Brock as a sign of friendship. He gave it back to her and then captured her in a [[Poké Ball]].

Like most baby Pokémon, she became very attached to her {{pkmn|Trainer}} very quickly. She was upset when taken out of Brock's care, and refused to cooperate with Team Rocket completely. Unlike Bonsly, however, she did not cry and fuss; she actually fought back against {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} after Brock had been hurt. Happiny has a cheerful personality, and is playful and energetic. Rather than walking, she is usually held in Brock's arms, much like [[Misty]] did with her her Togepi. She also is sometimes seen sleeping or playing with {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Sometimes she is seen riding on {{AP|Pikachu}}'s back, as seen in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'' and ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.
[[Image:Happiny Strong.jpg|Happiny's strength.|left|thumb]]
Happiny has extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. She'd knocked {{MTR}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} out of her way and flung [[Jessie's Seviper]] by the tail so she could get back to her trainer. She also launched Brock several meters into the air. She is very playful and has a lot of energy. Happiny carried many cement blocks in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and threw a big boulder in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', and ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here! ]]''. In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', she happily dumped everything out of Brock's backpack. In ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', she saved {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, Pikachu, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} from falling off a steamboat by happily tossing them back on board, help save Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', and saved Brock and [[Autumn]] from falling off a bridge by chucking them high in the air to the other side of the bridge in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. She ran around with a {{p|Quagsire}} in her hand in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Similar to this scenario, she was also seen walking in [[Canalave City]] whilst lifting [[Ash's Grotle]] with one arm in [[DP103]] who was comically tired due to its new form. She was briefly shown holding a large globe at the end of [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]. She was also able to stop {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from rampaging in [[DP106]] with help of her strength. In [[DP109]], she tried to pull off a tightly manhole cover (but failed), and when {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} tossed Dawn up into the air, Happiny caught her in time.

*{{m|Secret Power}}

==Trivia==
* Happiny was revealed in a Japanese movie poster for ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* Happiny is one of the Pokémon in the anime that has an indisputably confirmed [[gender]] - female.
* Happiny is the first {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon owned by Brock.
* For ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Brock's Happiny.
* It should be noted that Happiny do not learn {{m|Strength}} in the video games, so that means Brock's Happiny is quite unique, showing off monstrous strength similar to what Strength would perhaps do.
** It should also be noted that in the games, Happiny and the rest of the Chansey family have among the lowest Attack stats.
* So far, Happiny is Brock's only team member from Sinnoh that has not attacked him to keep him from flirting with girls.
* [[Misty's Azurill]] and Brock's Happiny are the only [[Pokémon]] hatched from eggs officially owned by a main character that hasn't evolved as of the latest Japanese episode.

Talk:Dig (move)

2009-03-07T18:28:58Z

Wikifixer: /* Has Anyone tried this? */

== Has Anyone tried this? ==

In 3rd generation flying pokemon recieve no damage from earthquake even when ungerground. Is it the same 4th generation? I ask because there are now moves like roost/gravity that disable flying, so does a flying/levitate pokemon still immune to damage from Earthquake when using Dig?

:Yes, it does. Ninjask was immune to Garchomp's EQ while underground.

::The developers really dropped the ball on that little bit of physics... it's probably one of my biggest let downs. That and the change back in Gen II of the Bug-/Poison-type mutual weakness. Poor Poison-type only get's one type of super-effective hit.

== Power? ==

In Pokemon LeafGreen, the Power of Dig is '''60'''. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The power backing dig has changed, which is shown in the article, and for reference:
::[[Generation I]] has the power of 100.
::[[Generation IV]] has a power of 80.
::[[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] both have a power of 60.
:It's one of a few moves that changed power, and the power of 80 is in the latest games. [[User:Gywall|Gywall]] 10:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't Magnitude also hurt a Pokémon that's using Dig? [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
:It does. I'm going to change the article. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 14:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

== Kabuto, Krabby, and Gen II Breeding ==

So apparently, according to this page, Kabuto can get is as an egg move from a Krabby or Kingler, and Krabby can get it as an egg move from Kabuto or Kabutops, but none of the four can learn it by level up or TM28. Now tell me, just how is this possible? [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 14:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
:It's possible because you can teach Dig using the TM to [http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search?breed=9;basedex=1;generation=0;generation=1;move_method=egg;move_method=level;move_method=machine;move_version=rb;move_version=y;move_version=gs;move_version=c many compatible Pokémon] (say, {{p|Corsola}}), and then breed. I assume the breeding sections only include Pokémon that learn the move through level up or breeding, or else things would get very cluttered (some breeding sections are cluttered enough as it is, IMO). But still, without all this background info it ''does'' not make sense... Maybe I'll put a note or something. --'''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 05:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
::There are a lot of pokemon that can only get breeding moves from a TM father.... it's not that important. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 07:03, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

== Outside of battle effect ==

This move can be used in caves outside of battle, and the user will be teleported to the cave entrance. Why isn't this mentioned? ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] 02:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

===Origin===
Shiftry are probably based on {{wp|Tengu}}, who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds.
====Name origin====
Shiftry's name is probably a combination of the words ''shifty'' (meaning deceitful), and ''tree''. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of ''dark'' and 天狗 ''{{wp|tengu}}'', tricky Japanese goblins.

'''Dawn's Ambipom''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのエテボース''' ''Hikari's Eteboth'') is the only Pokémon to be captured by {{ash}} in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]. Much later, she was traded to {{an|Dawn}} in exchange for {{AP|Buizel}}. Her Japanese voice actress is 佐藤智恵 ''[[Chie Satō]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]]. As an Aipom, she was voiced by 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' in both English and Japanese.

==History==

===With Ash===
[[Image:Ash_aipom.jpg|As an Aipom, wearing a flower crown|thumb|left|190px]]
Aipom was first seen in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', worshipping a giant, mechanical {{p|Slaking}}. However, she also stole [[Ash's hat]], much like [[Ash's Primeape]] did [[EP025|more than 400 episodes before]]. Aipom soon reappeared in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', after watching May in the Grand Festival, Aipom became thrilled with battling and challenged Ash and his Pikachu for a battle; as he won, Ash finally captured her.

In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', Aipom became jealous of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headgear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of ''Aipom and Circumstance''; while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers, {{an|May}} said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 ''Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?''. In [[DP048]], Dawn also explicitly calls Aipom a girl, and in the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', both Aipom and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are referred to as girls, confirming them to be female.

Aipom enjoys participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Her interest was first perked in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard]]'' where she took an interest in May's battle with Harley. Aipom also watched her battle with Drew before enticing Ash into catching her. In ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'', Aipom was entered into her first contest with Ash. They got through the Appeal Round but lost the first battle round to [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. In ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', Aipom entered an unofficial contest under the command of [[Jessie]] and won against [[Dawn's Pachirisu]]. Zoey suggested that Ash give Aipom to Dawn.

While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her Poké Ball, in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.

[[Image:Satoshitoeipam.jpg|Ash and Aipom|thumb|right|190px]]
In order to bring back {{AP|Torkoal}} to battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]]'s {{p|Registeel}}, Ash sent Aipom to [[Professor Oak]], where Aipom had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to the new environment and lack of Ash. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.

When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], leaving all his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]], Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey. During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom has defeated [[Paul's Chimchar]] in battle and helped Ash capture his {{TP|Ash|Starly}}. Ash also used her in his first two Gym battles in the region.

Aipom put up a fight against [[Roark's Cranidos]] in Ash's first match, however, she lost. In their rematch she fought {{p|Geodude}}. She also fought in Ash's second Gym Battle as well, going against [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Roserade}}, which resulted in a victory, giving Ash his {{badge|Forest}}.

===With Dawn===
[[Image:Dawn&Ambipom.jpg|Dawn and Ambipom|thumb|left|190px]]
In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', Ash began the training for his next Gym battle in [[Veilstone City]]. However, [[Dawn's Buizel]] seemed to be more interested in Ash's battle training and thus couldn't set its mind on Dawn's training; meanwhile Ash's Aipom appeared to have a similar problem in Ash's training because it tended to be more interested in Dawn's Contest training. Then Zoey proposed that Ash and Dawn trade them. After some soul-searching, the trainers agreed, and the trade took place.

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Aipom managed to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. {{si|Kenny}} appeared and told Dawn that Aipom would evolve soon. Later in the episode, when Dawn was being attacked by a group of {{p|Unown}}, Aipom jumped in front of Dawn to protect her and evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her appeal for the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}, but failed to pass the Appeal Round. [[Zoey]] explained to Dawn that she failed due to an overuse of {{m|Swift}}, blocking {{p|Ambipom}} from view. Ambipom also learned how to break dance, by spinning its tail to make waves of Swift attacks.

In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in her gym battle against [[Maylene]]. She defeated Maylene's {{p|Meditite}}, however she was defeated by [[Maylene's Lucario]].

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', Dawn once again used Ambipom for the appeal round in the [[Wallace Cup]]. She managed to pass the round by dazzling the judges with {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and {{m|Double Hit}}.

In [[DP095]] Dawn used her in the {{to|Celestic}} Contest Battle Rounds. Ambipom was able to easily defeat her first two opponents and then went up against [[Yuri]]'s {{p|Delcatty}}. Ambipom won the Contest by using combinations of {{m|Double Hit}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Swift}}.

==Moves used==

* ''{{m|Swift}}''
* ''{{m|Focus Punch}}''
* ''{{m|Double Team}}''
* ''{{m|Double Hit}}''
Moves that have been used most recently are italicized.

==Trivia==
*For [[DP014]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Aipom. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about her: エイパムが　しっぽでつかむ　サトシのハート ''{{tt|Eipam|Aipom}}, it seizes with its tail, Satoshi's heart.''
*Aipom is one of the few Pokémon on the show to have its gender explicitly stated via dialog multiple times, including the dub of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]''.
*Aipom is one of the few main characters' Pokémon to be traded, along with [[Jessie's Lickitung]] and [[Ash's Butterfree]].
*Aipom shares some similarities with another of Ash's primate Pokémon, {{AP|Primeape}}. Both evolved while not owned by him - Primeape in the wild and Ambipom with Dawn. Both of these Pokémon have also annoyed Ash by stealing his {{AP|hat}}.
*Aipom is the fourth Pokémon to take Ash's hat, after the aforementioned {{AP|Primeape}}, then {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Latias}}.
*Aipom is one of only a few Pokémon to defeat [[Brock's Croagunk]], while under Ash's control. The others are [[Paul's Torterra]], three {{p|Psyduck}} seen in [[DP087]], and [[Saturn]]'s {{p|Toxicroak}}.
*Due to now being Dawn's Pokémon, Aipom is the only Pokémon owned by a main character that was introduced ''before'' the character.
*Ambipom took as many episodes to evolve as another Pokémon that had a crush on Ash: {{AP|Chikorita}}. They are both {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} as well, and they have very similar English and Japanese names.
*Ambipom is the first, and as of the most recent Japanese episode only, of Dawn's Pokémon to evolve.
*Ambipom is the second traded Pokémon in the anime to evolve, after [[James's second Weepinbell]].
*Ambipom battled in the first three Gyms of Sinnoh, despite being traded to {{an|Dawn}} before Ash arrived in Veilstone City.
*For [[DP073]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Ambipom. This makes her the first Pokémon character to be the focus of the lecture twice.
*Aipom was the first of five {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the [[Diamond & Pearl series]], followed by {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, {{TP|Ash|Gligar}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} (second if one counts {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}). It is also the only one to not debut during either the Johto saga (Generation II) or Diamond and Pearl saga (Generation IV). It debuted during Battle Frontier, part of the Advanced Generation saga (Generation III).
*Based on how strong Dawn's Ambipom is, even its weaker moves, its ability is most likely {{a|Technician}}

Dawn's Pachirisu

'''Dawn's Pachirisu''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのパチリス''' ''Hikari's Pachirisu'') was the second Pokémon captured by {{an|Dawn}}, and her third Pokémon overall. It was captured in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy]]''. Its voice actress in both English and Japanese is 西村ちなみ ''[[Chinami Nishimura]]''.

==History==
Pachirisu has a very hyperactive personality. It loves to have fun with Dawn and her other Pokémon. It also tends to give Dawn a bad hair day by using {{m|Discharge}}. Dawn felt that she had failed Pachirisu as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} because of its behavior and temporarily released it. A while later she realized that she made a mistake and went back to get it, only to find that [[Jessie]] already had set her sights on the electric squirrel. However it managed to defeat [[Team Rocket]] and Dawn recaptured it.

Pachirisu seems to be a bit of a con artist. For a moment it appeared to want to join Jessie and left with her. However this was only to get the spray bottle from her that had the formula in it that would release Dawn and the others from Team Rocket's sticky trap. This also shows that Pachirisu is a lot smarter than it seems.

In ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand]]'' Pachirisu got stuck inside a {{p|Hippowdon}} that was being pursued by [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], and eventually got out.

In [[DP094]], Pachirisu became ill from having too much electricity, but by the end of the episode, it had recovered.

==Moves used==
* {{m|Quick Attack}}
* {{m|Spark}}

* {{m|Discharge}}

==Trivia==
*Dawn's capture of Pachirisu marks the first time a main character has ever caught an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, and it is the first Electric-type owned by a main character besides {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*For [[DP021]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Pachirisu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パチリスが　おめめさめたよ　パッチリす
*In the [[dub]] of ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'' it is revealed that Pachirisu is the youngest of Dawn's Pokémon, as well as second youngest of all the Pokémon belonging to {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|company]], second only to {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}, who was just hatched [[DP038|an episode earlier]].
*Pachirisu is currently Dawn's only Pokémon whose voice is not changed in the dub. Buizel also kept his Japanese voice, but Dawn no longer owns him.
*The pattern on Pachirisu's head indicates it is possibly [[Gender|male]]. However, it was seen wearing a {{wp|cheerleading}} outfit along with Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', indicating it could be female. Because of this, it is difficult to determine Pachirisu's gender.
*Pachirisu is the only Pokémon that Dawn owns that is not part of an evolutionary line.
*Pachirisu seems to be almost a parallel to [[May's Skitty]].
#Both were the third Pokémon obtained by their trainer.
#Jessie had her heart set on catching them and using them for contest purposes.
#Both share a similar attitude and habits. These would include chasing their tails, having a lot of energy, and running away from their trainers.
#Both use their Japanese voice actresses in both dubs.
*Over the episodes, {{p|Pachirisu}}'s {{m|Discharge}} has gone from shocking everyone (which is what happens in the games), into only affecting an intended target; [[Team Rocket]] for example.
*Pachirisu's illness in [[DP094]] is similar to that of [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]''.
*Based on how difficult Dawn's Pachirisu is to catch when it feels like running about, its ability may well be {{a|Run Away}}

Dawn's Piplup

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] [[Pokémon]]. She befriended it after saving it from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. She also fed Piplup before receiving it from Rowan. It is voiced by 小桜エツ子 ''[[Etsuko Kozakura]]'' in Japanese and [[Michele Knotz]] in English.

Piplup initially would not accept food from Dawn—as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from people. However, it seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from it. It shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other Pokémon and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

Despite its prideful and fierce attitude, it was fairly weak at first. It was easily defeated in its first {{pkmn|battle}} by [[Jessie's Seviper]]. It has grown in strength since then, defeating {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} for Dawn so she could [[captured Pokémon|capture]] it. However, it still has only decent strength at the moment.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, used more than any of Dawn's other Pokémon and has helped Dawn win her first two ribbons in Sinnoh. Piplup seems to be very competitive; it will always try to overcome the odds and impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. It often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn.

It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other.

In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'', Piplup barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only a half a point to help Dawn win the Wallace Cup Ribbon.

==Trivia==
*For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto''
*In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', Piplup, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfits. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup, and Buneary are female. It is also seen in a cheerleader's outfit again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance]]'' cheering for Ash. However, in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', when Dawn and Ash's Pokémon are dressed as maids, Piplup, along with [[Ash's Turtwig]] and Pikachu, were all blushing in embarrassment. This could be hinting that it may be male instead.
*In [[DP087]], Dawn tried to understand what Piplup was telling her, saying 「僕にまかせろって？」　''Boku ni makasero tte?'' meaning ''Are you trying to say "Leave it to me"?''. Dawn uses the Japanese pronoun 僕 ''Boku'' (meaning I, mostly used by males) for Piplup. This may mean Piplup is male. Within the games as well, {{p|Piplup}} have a 7/8 chance of being male. However, [[Anabel]] also uses the pronoun to refer to herself, because while ''Boku'' can be used for males and usually is, it is not unheard of for females to use it.
*The opening sequence of Pokémon shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of its [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind it, this may mean that Dawn will use a star [[seal]] on Piplup's Poké Ball in a future episode.
[[Image:Hikaritopochama.jpg|Dawn and her very confident Piplup|thumb|right]]
*Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of its ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never expressed distinctly that it did not like being inside of the ball.
*Due to Piplup's original name, ''Pochama'', Dawn's Piplup often says ''Piplup Pip'' in the English dub, due to the different number of syllables.
*Piplup is Dawn's only Pokémon whose species is not based on a real-world mammal.
*Piplup has battled its two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup will probably not evolve very soon, referring to its evolutions as "ugly" or not good for contests. However, [[Kenny's Prinplup]] seems to do fine in contests, but many fans agree that Piplup fits to Dawn's stereotypically "cute" or "girly" image. It should be noted that this was only stated by Hidaka and no other cast members.

'''Ash's Gliscor''' (Japanese: '''サトシグライオン''' ''Satoshi's Glion'') is the fourth Pokémon [[captured Pokémon|captured]] by [[Ash Ketchum]], and his only fully evolved so far, in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its voice actor in both English and Japanese is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''.

==History==
Ash caught Gliscor as a Gligar in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' It, along with many other {{p|Gligar}} and a {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} had become trapped in a city after being blown there by a violent windstorm. Gliscor's attempts at using sonar to navigate out of the city were blocked by the tall buildings, and only served to attract more Gligar and the Pokémon soon formed a pack.
[[Image:Ash's Gligar 2.jpg|thumb|183px|left|As a Gligar]]
The pack survived by picking fruit from trees, and stealing food from humans. After Ash and his friends helped the pack, {{p|Gligar}} decided to travel with Ash, allowing him to capture it.

Gligar seems to have a habit of sticking out its tongue and winking when appearing. It also has the tendency to crash land on top of Ash due to its inability to glide properly. It would also cry when scolded by Ash as shown in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred! ]]'' and [[DP085]]. Not only that, Gligar seems to be a crybaby of sorts, tearing up very often, especially in fear. Additionally, Gligar seems to be extremely eager to win Ash's attention and approval.

It evolved into a Gliscor in [[DP085]] in order to save Ash from a fall, using the [[Razor Fang]] Ash received from {{Gary}}. It appears to have kept its personality traits even after evolution, as it still cries when scolded by Ash and also winks and sticks its tongue out.

In [[DP100]], Gliscor was used as a sparring partner by [[Paul's Torterra]] to help illustrate how [[Ash's Grotle]] could deal with its reduced speed.

In [[DP101]], Gliscor battled Jun's Roserade and the battle ended in a tie, with both Pokémon knocking each other out at the same time.

Similar to {{AP|Corphish}}, Gliscor mostly functions as the comedic relief on Ash's team (i.e. crash landing, getting left behind by [[Brock]], bouncing around on its tail, etc.), although {{AP|Staravia}} shares this role at times.

==Moves used==

* {{m|X-Scissor}}
* {{m|Sand-Attack}}
* {{m|Steel Wing}}

==Trivia==
* Gliscor is the third {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon Ash has ever owned whose other type wasn't Normal, the other two being {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Ash's capture of Gligar brought another {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to the protagonists in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]], the others being {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Gligar has since evolved into Gliscor, a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}.
* Gliscor and [[Dawn's Swinub]] are the only Pokémon in the party of Ash and his friends that aren't in the original [[Sinnoh Pokédex]]. [[Jessie]], however, has {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}.
* Gligar's means of capture was similar to [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it was part of a group of Pokémon of its species causing trouble for a town, joined because it wanted to go with Ash, filled Ash's [[party]] with six members, and was captured shortly before Ash met up with the region's third [[Gym Leader]].
* Gligar appeared on {{rt|215}}, a route where it is possible to catch Gligar via the [[dongle method]] using {{game|Emerald}}.
* Gligar was the fourth Pokémon caught by Ash to debut with no revealed attacks, after {{AP|Krabby}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Tauros}}. Its battle debut wasn't until ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', revealing three attacks at once. It is, however, the only Pokémon of Ash's Sinnoh team to not debut with any attacks at all.
* In ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Gligar.
* Gliscor appears to show behavior that is like [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{AP|Aipom}}. This is shown in ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'' when Gligar hugs Ash.
** In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Gligar appeared to be blushing just moments before it tackled Ash to the floor; why it did so is unclear, but may be further evidence that it might be female.
** Further, in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' Gligar repeatedly goes to Ash for hugs and affection. Gligar listens very intently and contemplatively to Ash's encouragement, seeming to drink in his every word, and is even startled when the other Pokémon encourage it. This behavior is also calls to mind [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], both of whom showed interest in Ash and are both female Pokémon. Also, the three Pokémon have English names which are also similar to their respective Japanese names, and each has evolved once.
** Yet another parallel between the three Pokémon is that they each evolved to save their trainers from danger; Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to save Ash, Aipom evolved into Ambipom to save Dawn, while Gligar evolved into Gliscor to save Ash.
** Another interesting relationship to note of is that these three Pokémon have run away from Ash (due to a conflict between them) at various points of time (Bayleef did so in ''[[EP200|Turning Over a New Bayleef]]'', Aipom did so in ''[[AG182|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', while Gliscor did so in [[DP085]], when it was still a Gligar), but they patch things up with him pretty quickly, usually strengthening their bond at the end of the episode.
* [[DP085]], the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States.
* Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon and the third of a main character's Pokémon to evolve via an item ([[Razor Fang]]). The first one was [[Misty's Politoed]] ([[King's Rock]]) and the second was [[Brock's Ludicolo]] ({{evostone|Water Stone}}). Coincidentally, all these Pokémon evolved with items that belonged to someone else, and the Pokémon belong to the anime's original three protagonists.
[[Image:AshridingGliscor.jpg|220px|Gliscor carrying Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}|thumb|left]]
* Gliscor is the third Generation IV Pokémon to evolve from a Generation II Pokémon on-screen after [[Dawn's Ambipom]] and [[Jessie's Yanmega]], and the fourth Generation II Pokémon to evolve into a Generation IV Pokémon overall, since [[Paul's Murkrow]] evolved into Honchkrow off-screen between ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' and ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.
* Gliscor now shares a trait with {{AP|Glalie}} as the Pokémon that filled up Ash's sixth party slot in [[Hoenn]] and Sinnoh, respectively, and evolving soon after.
* Ash's Gliscor is smaller than [[Paul's Gliscor]], a relationship similar to that which [[Ash's Krabby]] shared with a {{p|Krabby}} that another [[Gary Oak|rival]] of Ash's caught.
* Gliscor is the only one of Ash's {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to have some difficulties in flying, or in its case, gliding. Unfortunately for Gliscor, it also had difficulty moving on the ground after its evolution, something that was used comically in [[DP094]]. It appears to have overcome this by [[DP100]] by bouncing on its tail.
*Gliscor is the only one in Ash's current team who can have more than one ability, which is still currently unknown.
*Gliscor is the only member of Ash's [[Sinnoh]] [[team]] who has yet to participate in a Gym Battle.

'''Ash's Staravia''' (Japanese: '''サトシのムクバード''' ''Satoshi's Mukubird'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[captured Pokémon|caught]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. It is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and by [[Sarah Natochenny]] in English. As a Starly, it was voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in English.

==History==
[[Image:Ash Starly.jpg|As a Starly|200px|thumb|left]]

Ash caught it as a {{p|Starly}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' while searching for {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was missing due to the antics of [[Team Rocket]]. {{AP|Aipom}} was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu.

In ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', Starly battled another Starly belonging to [[Paul]] and lost.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', Starly evolved into a {{p|Staravia}} during a battle with [[Team Rocket]]. Evolving has allowed it to grow much stronger and become very useful in searches.

Staravia was the only of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh [[Gym]] battle, however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}}. After seeing [[Reggie]]'s {{p|Staraptor}} use the powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attack, Ash was inspired to teach it to Staravia. In the third Sinnoh Gym Battle, Staravia defeated [[Maylene]]'s {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Meditite}}, as well as successfully mastering Brave Bird.

Unlike {{AP|Pidgeot}} or {{AP|Noctowl}}, Staravia is closer in use to {{AP|Swellow}} in that, while Pidgeot was mainly used for scouting purposes, Staravia is often used in battles and is one of Ash's most reliable team members.

==Trivia==
*Despite the fact Ash's Staravia and other members of his evolution family know {{m|Gust}}, it is impossible for {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}}, or {{p|Staraptor}} to learn it in the games. This error was also present in the Japanese version. The dub changed it to {{m|Whirlwind}} in Starly's initial appearance, but left it as Gust until ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family]]'', when it was dubbed as Whirlwind again, and has been since.
*For ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ムックルが　ムクムクしんか　ムクバード ''{{tt|Mukkuru|Starly}} mukumuku-evolved; {{tt|Mukubird|Staravia}}''
*Judging by the pattern on Staravia's head, it can be assumed that this Pokémon is male. However, the pattern does change shape occasionally in some scenes, therefore it cannot be properly determined.
**However, in [[DP103]] it falls in love with a Staravia robot that appeared to be female, hinting that Staravia could be male. It is noteworthy that Staravia's "dot" is noticably larger than that of the robot's.
*Staravia was the 40th Pokémon species Ash has owned, counting {{AP|Larvitar}}, {{AP|Haunter}}, and {{AP|Raticate}}.
*Staravia is the only Pokémon Ash has on hand that he caught in a valid location; {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{AP|Turtwig}} are unavailable in normal gameplay unless chosen as a starter, Ash didn't even capture {{AP|Buizel}}, and {{AP|Gligar}} doesn't appear on the route Ash captured it unless the [[dongle method]] is used.

'''Ash's Grotle''' (Japanese: '''サトシのハヤシガメ''' ''Satoshi's Hayashigame'') was the second [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[captured Pokémon|captured]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'', and its English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]].

==History==
Ash caught Grotle as a Turtwig in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It had been living in the forest near [[Clara]]'s home, and it broke up fights among wild Pokémon in the area. After [[Team Rocket]] stole [[Ash's Pikachu]], their balloon crashed, and Turtwig defended Pikachu against them. When Ash and his friends appeared, Turtwig assumed they were trying to wrongfully steal Pikachu, too, so it attacked them and ran off with an exhausted Pikachu in tow. The next time they confronted Turtwig, the misunderstanding was explained, and Turtwig apologetically befriended Ash. At the end of the episode, Ash and his friends began to leave, and the old woman encouraged Turtwig to go with Ash, so it ran to challenge him. Turtwig and Pikachu battled, and Ash caught Turtwig.

Turtwig is a brave yet kind Pokémon that has high confidence for its small size. It apparently has a strong jaw, as it is often seen latching itself onto people and Pokémon's heads, tails, hats, and appendages to attack or show affection. It has done this to {{Ash}} as well. It has also been shown to be incredibly fast. In this way its behavior somewhat resembles that of [[James's Victreebel]], {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Turtwig has also shown to be quite strong, such as the time when it used Bite on [[Roark's Rampardos|Roark's Rampardos's]] tail, and threw it into a rock, after which Brock said "Big things come in small packages!"

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', Turtwig battled [[Ash's Chimchar|Paul's Chimchar]] and lost. Although it held its own in battle, it appeared to hesitate upon receiving Ash's command to dodge attacks.

Turtwig has taken part in three of Ash's [[Gym]] battles. It defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Cranidos}} in their first battle, and in the rematch, defeated the newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. This victory gave Ash his first badge. It also battled against [[Gardenia]]'s Turtwig during his second gym battle. Although Gardenia's Pokémon had defeated Ash's during a battle in the [[Eterna Forest]], he gained the upper hand and defeated the {{type2|Grass}}. After learning {{m|Energy Ball}} from {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Breloom}}, Turtwig didn't battle again until the Pastoria Gym battle in ''[[DP083| A Crasher Course in Power]]'', where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Quagsire}} but it was called back before being defeated.

Like many of Ash's Pokémon, Turtwig's battle style was based on its speed, a factor that Ash focussed on even more after seeing Gardenia's Turtwig in action. However, in [[DP100]] Turtwig evolved into {{p|Grotle}} during a battle against [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It quickly became apparent that, due to its new body being larger, Grotle's speed had diminished, and Grotle fumbled and fell down a lot in the battle. This was initially upsetting but [[Paul's Torterra]] provided some unexpected help by showing Grotle that it could rely on defense instead.

Moves that have been used most recently are italicized.

==Trivia==
* For [[DP016]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Turtwig. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ナエトルは　あたまにはっぱ　はえとるぞ ''Naetoru wa / Atama ni happa / Haetoru zo'' "Naetle / The leaf on its head / Is growing."
* Its ability to break up fights between other Pokémon mirrors that of [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], Ash's first {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]. Also, the episodes that Bulbasaur and Turtwig were caught in are very similar.
* Some of Grotle's other actions as a Turtwig mirror those of [[James's Carnivine]], {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, who attack their trainer out of affection. Coincidentally, they are all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* This is {{Ash}}'s third turtle/tortoise-based Pokémon, the others being {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Torkoal}}. Perhaps incidentally, the three make up the three [[starter Pokémon]] [[types]], though Torkoal is not a starter.
* In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Turtwig is embarrassed to be in a maid outfit, much like Ash, Pikachu, and Dawn's Piplup are. This may indicate that it, Pikachu, and Piplup are male.
* After evolving, Grotle had problems with its new, heavier form. While a {{p|Turtwig}}'s {{stat|Speed}} is higher relative to its other stats than a {{p|Grotle}}'s is, Grotle's [[base stats|base]] Speed is actually five points ''higher'' than Turtwig's.
* Grotle took exactly as many episodes to evolve from Turtwig as [[Ash's Sceptile]] did from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage.
* Grotle is Ash's only Pokémon to have fought [[Paul]] more [[DP006|than]] [[DP100|once]] and each time was a one-on-one battle. Both times, it lost to a Pokémon with a [[Ash's Chimchar|type]] [[Paul's Honchkrow|advantage]] to {{type2|Grass}}s.

Recoil

2008-11-28T15:58:00Z

Wikifixer: removed commas from around "Reckless" since grammatically speaking, they were unneeded. Also, include mention of the ability Rock Head

'''Recoil''' is damage a [[Pokémon]] can receive upon using a [[move]]. The most common source of recoil damage is from moves, however some [[item]]s also cause recoil damage.

The moves {{m|Jump Kick}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}} have recoil known as '''Crash Damage'''. The recoil on these moves is only dealt if the move misses, rather than upon inflicting damage to an opposing Pokémon.

The ability {{a|Reckless}} affects the power and recoil of these moves.

The ability {{a|Rock Head}} prevents recoil damage, except from {{m|Struggle}} and held items.

==Items with recoil==
These items harm the Pokémon holding it.
* [[In-battle_effect_item|Flame Orb]] (Burns the holder)
* [[In-battle_effect_item|Life Orb]] (10% damage when using a damaging move)
* [[In-battle_effect_item|Sticky Barb]] (10% damage at the end of each turn)
* [[In-battle_effect_item|Toxic Orb]] (Poisons the holder)

Talk:Explosion (move)

2008-11-28T15:47:26Z

Wikifixer: made the discussion more readable with a couple line breaks and bullets

Should we add the fact that only two Pokémon can get STAB from this move - Lickilicky and Smeargle? (I think so, anyway.) {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]][http://freewebs.com/thepixelcafe δ]{{MS|281s}} 03:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
*So you're implying that due to [[STAB]], Explosion will do 1000 damage, right? [[User:Ht14|ht14]][[User:ht14|ht14]] 22:25, April 11, 2008 (GMT)
**No, the [[STAB]] would make it 750, not 1000, as the [[STAB]] multiplier is 1.5x not 2x.--[[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 15:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
