'''Shadow Lugia''' (Japanese: '''ダークルギア''' ''Dark Lugia''), codenamed '''XD001''', is a Pokémon exclusive to [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

It is a {{p|Lugia}} corrupted by the criminal organization [[Cipher]], believed to be the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]] (the "XD" in its codename stands for "Extra Darkness") and completely immune to purification. As a sign of this corruption, its appearance is different from that of a normal Lugia, unlike other Shadow Pokémon who appear normal but possess a shadowy [[aura]].

==History==
[[File:XD001.jpg|thumb|left|Shadow Lugia attacking the S.S. Libra]]
In the prologue of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Shadow Lugia attacks the cruise ship [[S.S. Libra]], which had been carrying many Pokémon to Orre. However, Shadow Lugia drops the ship in the middle of the desert, forcing Cipher to travel to the desert and catch the Pokémon left in the ship.

During the course of the game, Shadow Lugia is mentioned often, but never seen. One of Cipher's administrators, [[Lovrina]], tells [[Michael]] that it was she who created Shadow Lugia, as the first of an army of Shadow Pokémon immune to [[purification]]. She also reveals that the Shadow Pokémon was supposed to bring the S.S. Libra to Cipher's headquarters, but an instability in the corruption process led to it briefly breaking free of Cipher's control.

When Michael explores [[Citadark Isle]], he again encounters Lovrina, who boasts that she has perfected Shadow Lugia, making it completely impossible to purify. Later, at the very pinnacle of Cipher's headquarters, Michael finally confronts the corrupted Lugia when it is sent out by [[Greevil]] to defeat the boy before the other six (also Shadow) members of his [[party]].

After snagging the Lugia and defeating Greevil, Michael will find that Lovrina was apparently correct — Shadow Lugia cannot be purified through using it in battle, massaging it with [[cologne]]s, keeping it in the active party, or by any other normal means. However, the [[Purify Chamber]], the ultimate creation of Michael's father and [[Professor Krane]], will be able to purify XD-001 if all nine of the Sets within it are at maximum tempo.

==In the TCG==
Shadow Lugia was featured in the TCG as a promotional card. The English version was given out to attendants of the Nintendo Pre Electronic Entertainment Expo conference. This card was also distributed at the {{wp|Nintendo World Store}} in {{wp|New York}} in October 2005. This card was released as a Jumbo card and was therefore not legal to use in tournaments or official events, due to its unusual 300 hit-points and its only attack, {{m|Shadow Storm}}, has an incredible 1000 damage (also the highest amount of damage on any known card). It has the same artwork as the Pokémon XD box art.

{{cardlist/footer|Psychic}}

==Trivia==
* Shadow Lugia, available in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], is the only way to get Lugia without an event in [[Generation III]]. Its counterpart, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, is only available by purifying all Shadow Pokémon in XD's predecessor, [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and then defeating all 100 Trainers at [[Mt. Battle]] in Colosseum Mode.
* The text on the [[Aura Reader]] is different with Shadow Lugia. Instead of saying "Oh! A Shadow Pokémon!", it says "The Aura Reader is responding! It is a Shadow Pokémon."
* Though it is more than just a palette swap, Shadow Lugia's color scheme is the reverse of a normal Lugia.
* While Shadow Lugia is never shown to be officially "owned" by a Trainer (as it appears to lack a Poké Ball and its "Trainer" already carries 6 Pokémon), Michael uses the [[Snag Machine]] on Shadow Lugia.
* Purifying Shadow Lugia is the only way to obtain a Pokémon other than [[Deoxys]] that knows [[Psycho Boost]].

Ground (type)

2013-01-02T21:00:21Z

Z3tth: /* In other languages */

{{types}}
The '''Ground type''' (Japanese: '''じめんタイプ''' ''Ground type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Ground-type Pokémon are [[Giovanni]] of [[Viridian City]], [[Bertha]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], and [[Clay]] of [[Driftveil City]]. Prior to Generation IV, when moves were designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on their type, all Ground-type moves were physical.

}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, the Ground type is somewhat risky. Whilst they do have above average {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Defense}}, they have below average {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}}. Combining that with weaknesses to the common {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Ice}} types (all three of which have generally special movesets), decreases their ability to defend. It resists {{t|Poison}}, a type rarely used offensively, and {{t|Rock}}. It is, however, immune to the {{t|Electric}}-type, posing a great advantage due to the minority of Pokémon resisting {{t|Electric}} moves that are not {{type|Electric}} themselves, and the fact that as of Generation V, only {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Rotom}}'s Mow Form have a ¼ resistance to {{t|Electric}}. This also renders them immune to the crippling {{m|Thunder Wave}} (though not immune to paralysis itself).

===Offense===
Offensively, the Ground type is one of the most powerful offensive types, with the others being {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Fire}}. It is the only type super-effective against {{t|Electric}}, and is super-effective against five types in total; only the {{t|Fighting}} type is as powerful as this. It is also super-effective against two of the best defensive types, {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Steel}}. {{t|Grass}}- and {{t|Bug}}-type Pokémon do resist Ground, but this is largely mitigated by the common Grass/Poison and Bug/Poison typing. This, combined with the fact that the highly damaging and popular {{m|Earthquake}} has been available as [[TM26]] in every Generation, makes Ground a very potent type offensively. Given that the types Ground hits with super-effective damage (with the arguable exception of {{t|Poison}}) are fairly common types, and its unique ability to hit Electric-types super effectively, Ground-type is commonly considered as one of the best offensive types, along with {{t|Fighting}}.

The greatest disadvantage of the Ground-type is that it does not affect the very common {{type|Flying}} Pokémon at all (unless the Flying type uses {{m|Roost}}), nor Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} (unless {{m|Smack Down}} is used on it). However, all fully-evolved Ground-type Pokémon are able to learn Rock-type attacks, which somewhat alleviates the problem.

===Contest Properties===
When used in Contests, Ground-type moves typically become [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves. No Ground-type moves are [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, while they can be the other three types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|59|including Wormadam's form}} Ground-type Pokémon or 9.09% of all Pokémon, making it the seventh most common type.

==Trivia==
* Along with the {{t|Fighting}} type, Ground-type moves are super-effective against the most types: five.
* Each generation has introduced at least one Ground-type Pokémon whose English name begins with the letter G.
* Although Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Electric-type attacks, the Ability {{a|Static}} still affects them.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks is treated inconsistently, sometimes upheld and sometimes ignored. The anime (in particular ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'') also implies that Ground type's immunity to Electric types has a limit depending on the voltage, as Brock's Onix, when first fighting Pikachu, was completely unaffected by Pikachu's electricity, but in the rematch, Pikachu's electric attacks, having been boosted at an abandoned hydroelectric plant, were giving Onix a noticable degree of pain, although it still wasn't enough to completely incapacitate it, as well as environmental factors (such as water being sprayed on it).
* All types that resist the {{t|Flying}} type are weak to Ground, and vice versa; however, the type combinations Electric/Flying, Rock/Flying, and Steel/Flying still resist both due to the Flying type's immunity to Ground moves.
* More Pokémon are immune to Ground-type moves than any other type, as both {{t|Flying}} Pokémon and {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon are immune to Ground.
* Generation I introduced the most Ground-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 14 and Generation II introduced the least Ground-type Pokémon, with 10.
* Generation I introduced the most Ground-type moves of any Generation, with six and Generation IV and V introduced the least Ground-type moves, with two.
